Why do working moms complain about not having "Alone Time"?
Here's the question: WHY DO A LOT OF WORKING MOTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING ALONE TIME MORE THAN A LOT OF STAY AT HOME MOMS DO?
I have a few friends who stay at home and a lot who work. The working moms complain a whole lot more about never having alone time. With that being said, I am not saying one is better than the other. I'm only saying I hear more complaining. My older sister has done both and she complained more about "alone time" when she was working. Now that she's home with her 3 kids and never ever alone ,I don't hear her complain as much.The only thing she complains about, is being exhausted. My little sister who has one child and works full time is always complaining about never having alone time. MY friends who work complain about never having alone time but go out every weekend or so. I am home with a 7yr old,4yr old and almost 1 yr old. I work from home so that I can be with them. I am going 24/7 with my kids,my house,and my business.Wherever I go ,they go with me. MY hubby works and doesn't help much at home because he's tired. I don't get much alone time. Maybe a shower by myself once in a while, the extra 2 hours I stay awake at night to unwind and watch a show by myself, or a quick run to pick up a pizza from down the street. My hubby and I do go out with friends once in a while but my about to be 1 yr old goes with us because she is still BF'ing.
I really don't understand the complaining. Both working moms and SAHM's have it hard but the majority who gets more alone time complains about lack of it.
The same reasons SAHM complain about financial problems....? (sarcasm). This is seriously like someone saying you don't have the right to bitch about money because you don't make any.
How do you know how much free time every working mom gets? If I'm not being hounded by one of my bosses, I'm with my kid unless her granparents take her. I go from a office full of bitchy women/a 12 hour shoot, to a kid who act like she's on speed 24/7. Do I like working? Yes. That's why I chose to go back to work. I'm sure you like staying at home but there are still crappy parts of both.
We all have the right to complain when we feel shitty. End of story.
Eta. I'm a sahm too
I consider alone time "me time". And being at work is not alone time or me time.
If I had to work full-time I would probably complain too. Even when I only worked part-time hours when I was self-employed I never felt like I had alone relaxing time. I had adult time which was great, but that was different than alone time.
At least when I stay at home with the children, there are moments when I can put on my headphones, listen to music, and feel like I have alone time while they are playing or napping.

NEW YORK — Trade shows are great for bringing together the industry's most important players and prospects. But all that product-seeking and hand-shaking comes at a cost. Airfares, hotels and restaurant meals represent a hit to your bottom line.
Uncle Sam does offer some respite for the trade-show traveler, however. Prudent and thorough deductions of travel expenses on your income-tax returns can help soften the financial blow.
As attractive and necessary as these deductions are, though, you must be careful how you proceed. Experts advise deducting only those expenses permitted by law.
"Travel expenses are red-flag audit triggers for the IRS—particularly in the areas of meals and entertainment," says Suzette Flemming, president of Flemming Business Services, a financial-management company based in Great Falls, Mont. "Unfortunately, the burden of proof for these deductions is on individuals, not the IRS. And the proof must be in the form of documentation."
Disallowed deductions can cost you plenty in tax penalties and interest. "The IRS will reverse deductions for any expenses not found to be legitimate, the restated income will become taxable, and any penalties and interest accrue for time that has passed," Flemming says.
Qualified Shows
Before you deduct any expenses related to attending a trade show, determine if the event itself qualifies for tax deductibility. How? First, consider the topic of the show and your purpose in attending. Only trade shows directly related to your business—like Clean—are events for which travel expenses are deductible.
"The expenses for attending the show will be deductible if you are going with the idea that you will be making contacts for your business, meeting prospective clients, and [have] a reasonable expectation you can generate more revenue as a result," Flemming says. "In the case of educational seminars, there should be a reasonable expectation that you will learn something that you can incorporate in your business that will be revenue-generating."
Many shows, of course, will meet this basic criterion. But others are clearly over the line. Forget about shows that are devoted to one of your hobbies. The same goes for shows that are centered around investment topics; since they do not relate directly to your operation's expenses, they are not considered legitimate deductions.
There may be trade shows and seminars in the grey areas, such as paid seminars that cover a field in which your business is not yet involved, but might consider. "In your documentation, prepare a short, one-page business plan about what you hope to learn from the show, and how it may work into your business operations," Flemming says.
Tax experts advise retaining documents that support your claims that one show or another show served a legitimate business purpose. For example, you could save a conference agenda describing business-oriented sessions, a list of exhibitors serving your business, or a catalog of seminar topics. Circle the ones you attended, and save any important business cards and vendor leaflets.
Careful Records
For qualifying trade shows you can claim a variety of expenses. "Anything that is part of ordinary and necessary business expenses can be deducted," says John L. Elwell, a Dallas-based attorney and CPA specializing in tax preparation and litigation. "Deductions should be reasonable expenses and not extravagant." (See page 50, "The Write-Off Stuff.")
Knowing which travel expenses are deductible is a great help when it comes to tax time. Your job is not over when you stuff a handful of hotel and car-rental receipts into an envelope, though. You must also properly document your expenses. "Records documenting your travel expenses should conform to what I call "The Three Cs," Elwell says. "These are Contemporaneous, Complete and Consistent."
"Contemporaneous" means that the expenses are documented as you incur them. A business credit card can help you track expenses. "Complete" means that your records include required details, such as the names of the people seen and the topics discussed. And "'Consistent' means that you employ the same measurement techniques year after year," he says, "as if this will be the year you get selected for an IRS audit."
Some expenses require more thorough documentation. "For meals and entertainment, a credit-card statement will work," Flemming says. "But for the travel portion of your trip, including airlines, personal car or lodging, you need to maintain the physical receipts." Why?
"Bills for such services typically include some personal items," she says. "When you stay at a hotel, your bill covers more than just the room; it also includes expenses such as meals, personal telephone calls and even movies. The IRS is looking for non-business-related, personal items on the itemized bill."
Store your expense records in a safe place where you can access them easily if the IRS ever questions your travel expenses. With inadequate or misplaced documentation, you may face a credibility problem.
"Perhaps the most common error by business travelers is the failure to keep adequate documentation," Flemming says. "In addition to credit-card statements, keep records of who you met and what you discussed. [At] trade shows, collect business cards from everyone you meet. Without such reports, the IRS will void the deductions."
Check back Wednesday for Part 2 of this story.

The people who will experience the fullest meaning of Christmas on Tuesday are the people who know and feel that there is something in them that needs to be destroyed. It is true, as John said (John 3:17), that "God sent the Son into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved." But he saves by destroying. Like a doctor who amputates a foot full of gangrene or cuts out a cancerous lung.
Jesus Came to Destroy Something
Jesus said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous but sinners" (Mark 2:17). The only people who understand Christmas and embrace Christmas for what it is are people who feel sick, and who desperately want their sickness destroyed. Unless you welcome Jesus as a destroyer in your life, you can't have him as a Savior.
The point of this morning's message is taken from 1 John 3:8, "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil." Christmas is the celebration of the appearing on earth of God's eternal Son. And the reason he appeared is to destroy the works of the devil. So the reason there is a Christmas is because God aims to destroy something. Or if you like the imagery of contemporary space odysseys, picture Christmas as God's infiltration of rebel planet earth on a search and destroy mission. Or if you come from the Dr. Kildare and Ben Casey era, picture Christmas as the arrival of a single brilliant doctor in an isolated Appalachian village ravaged by a deadly virus. Or, if you antedate all that, picture Christmas as the arrival of John Joseph Pershing as full commander of the U.S. 1st Army on the Western Front of the Argonne Forest in the fall of 1918.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. The spaceship has landed, the doctor has arrived, the general has taken command—mission: search and destroy the works of the devil.
Three Questions About the Christmas Mission
There are three questions I want to try to answer in relation to this Christmas mission.
- What did the Son of God come to destroy?
- How did he destroy it?
How can we participate personally in his victory?
1. What Did the Son of God Come to Destroy?
1 John 3:8 says he came to destroy "the works of the devil." What are the works of the devil? Let's work out in concentric circles from the term "works of the devil" in 1 John 3:8. The closest concentric circle is the sentence before in verse 8a and the sentence after in 1 John 3:9. Verse 8a: "He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning." Then comes our text that the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:9: "No one born of God commits sin; for God's nature abides in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God."
The "Works of the Devil" Are Sins
First, John says the devil sins and those who sin are his. Then he says Christ came to destroy Satan's works. And then, he says, so no one born of God commits sin. Wouldn't you agree then that the "works of the devil" which the Son of God came to destroy are sins? Surely we should put the word "therefore" at the beginning of 1 John 3:9. "The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil. Therefore no one born of God commits sin." When people commit sin, it is a work of the devil. The work of the devil is to tempt people to sin. When they sin, his work is accomplished. So what the Son of God came to destroy is not just the guilt of sin (which might enable us to stay like we are and go right on sinning into heaven) but actually sinning. The Son of God came to destroy sinning. The enemy on the rebel planet is sin. The deadly virus in the Appalachian village is sin. The force to be conquered on the Western Front is sin. Christmas is God's invasion of enemy territory to rescue a people from the devil and destroy the sin in their lives.

trifluridine drops - ophthalmic, Viroptic (cont.)
HOW TO USE: To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.Tilt your head back, look up, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place 1 drop into the pouch as directed by your doctor. Look down and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and press gently. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.Use this medication usually every 2 hours while awake until the eye has healed. Do not use more than 9 drops into the eye in a 24-hour period. After healing, use this medication for another 7 days, usually every 4 hours while awake (at least 5 drops per day) or as directed by your doctor.If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Continue using it for the full time prescribed. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.Do not use this medication more often or use longer than prescribed because doing so may increase the risk of side effects. This medication should not be used for more than 21 days at a time.Tell your doctor if your condition worsens, does not improve after 7 days, or does not completely heal after 14 days.
SIDE EFFECTS: Temporary mild burning, stinging, and irritation may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: swelling eyelids, eye pain/redness, feeling as if something is in the eye, persistent blurred vision.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects.

The Evil Thread
View Single Post
Join Date

: Right where I should be.

My personal take:
Evil is a cultural construct - not necessarily a catch-all, but evil is defined by society, and each person within the society decides how they will define evil. What is determined to be evil by society as a while is sort of a "majority rules" kind of system. One example of this is sex: many things are considered acceptable today that were previously considered evil or, at least, shameful.
That being said, there are simultaneously certain 'self-evident truths' when it comes to what is good vs. what is evil. For instance, just because many in early societies felt that slavery was justifiable, or even good, that didn't make it good. The act was justified in the minds of the persons carrying out the acts, but those acts were by their nature evil. The same can be said of the Nazis with the Holocaust or the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields, among other examples. There is something in human nature that finds certain acts to be evil, and while there have been instances of societies that have not defined those acts as evil, there is usually some sort of over-riding ideology in those societies that the societies' leaders use to indoctrinate the citizenry into believing that evil acts are justified or good.
So, to simplify things a bit:
There are basically two kinds of evil: evil that is defined by society, and evil that is defined by "natural law," or "God's law."
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

ACES Methodology
The CHSLT develops and champions the ACES methodology which promotes unification of Analytical, Computational, and Experimental Solution methods in a complementary fashion to gain better understanding of the problems being studied than it would be possible otherwise. In this approach the CHSLT utilizes recent advances in analytical, computational, and experimental solution methodologies, emphasizes analogy between them, and points out cases where they can be merged to obtain solutions which may not be otherwise obtainable, to ease the existing in solution procedures, or to attain improvements in results.
Optical Metrology
Fringe Projection
Fringe projection is a holography technique used to measure shape and/or deformations of large objects. A sinusoidal image alternating light and dark is projected onto the object of interest. From acquiring a series of these images and running a series of algorithms on it, the shape or deformations of the object can be generated. From this, a 3-dimensional model can be produced.
Art conservation measurements: (a) unwrapped image; and (b) 3D representation of sculpture.
Noninvasive techniques for surface measurements have become paramount for quality analysis in industrial applications, art conservation and restoration, as well as precision aid in medical procedures. The critical advantage of the fringe projection optical technique is the ability to provide full field-of-view information. Our team has developed and integrated novel techniques into a high-speed Fringe Projection system for real-time 3D shape measurements.
Actual 3D road information
Topics: Art conservation, road surface inspection and forensics.
Optoelectronic Otoscope (OEHO)
The optoelectronic otoscope is a project being developed at the CHSLT in conjunction with Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI).
Otologists are in need of quantitative methods to research and diagnose hearing loss. The current state of the art is single point measurements on the tympanic membrane (TM). The goal of this project is to bring live, full-field-of-view, 3-dimensional measurements to clinics and researchers to provide a better understanding of the tympanic membrane andhearing loss.
The system uses a custom-designed laser delivery system (laser diode, beam shifting hardware and other optics) and optical head (camera, otoscope) to observe the behaviorthe TMs as they are exposed to audible stimuli.
An experimental version is currently deployed at MEEI and further development is taking place at CHSLT.
Digital Optoelectronic Holographic System (DOEHS)
We are developing an advanced computer-controlled digital optoelectronic holographic system (DOEHS) with the ability to measure both shape and acoustically induced deformations of the tympanic membrane of several species, including humans.
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are micro- and nano-scale components with mechanical and electronic components embedded on a chip.Flex joint on a MEMS component Courtesy of Sandia National Laboratories, SUMMiT(TM) Technologies, www.mems.sandia.gov
Because of the small size, the deformation of MEMS components is difficult to measure: non-destructive and non-contact measurement are critical. Using a microscope with laser interferometry, the nanometer-scale deformations of components can be measured accurately. These measurements are necessary to quantify theeffects that stimuli such as temperature or movement have on the device.

The CHSLT requires specialized software to perform many of its tasks, either to control hardware or automate complex tasks. Software is developed by the CHSLT staff.
LaserView is custom platform for controlling holographic hardware, syncronizing cameras, and acquiring phase-shifted images.
HoloStudio a post-processing companion to LaserView. It allows for processing of image and video files captured from LaserView, and output to various formats
Written in IDL, PXHOLO is CHSLT program for applying filters, unwrapping phase maps, displaying 3D models, and performing other holography tasks. In conjunction with otherutilities it is used to process imagery acquired from LaserView.
Purpose of the CHSLT
The metrological applications at the CHSLT concentrate on holographic interferometry, laser speckle metrology, fiber optic sensors, analytical and computational modeling of structural behavior under static as well as dynamic loading conditions, and other areas of current interest. In these measurements, special effort is made to develop effective means for computer-aided quantitative analysis of experimental data and to relate these quantitative analyses to theoretical results.
In the area of holographic interferometry, the CHSLT concentrates on studies of fundamental phenomena governing recording, reconstruction, and quantitative interpretation of holograms with special emphasis on applications. More specifically, the CHSLT maintains holographic systems for studies of static as well as dynamic problems. These systems range from conventional double-exposure holography, to real-time and time-average holography, heterodyne holography, stroboscopic heterodyne holography, pulsed laser holography, and electro-optic holography (EOH). The EOH system allows for direct electronic acquisition and processing of interferometric data in real-time and sets a new standard for quantitative holographic analysis.
The CHSLT also conducts experimental and computational research in the field of nanoindentation studies in conjunction with a laboratory system which is uniquely suited to measure elastic, plastic, creep, and fracture properties of materials in sub-micron geometries.
In addition, the CHSLT is equipped with a complete laser vibrometer system, GHz frequency range storage oscilloscopes, a spectrum analyzer, a self-contained network of personal computers, UNIX based workstations and image processors, a host of supporting instrumentation, and a library of finite element analysis and general purpose software.
A well equipped electrical engineering and instrument development laboratory, a fiber optic preparation laboratory, an optical microscopy laboratory and a multifunctional dark room are also parts of the CHSLT. Sample preparation as well as electron microscope capabilities are available on the WPI campus and are heavily used by the CHSLT personnel.
The strengths of the CHSLT lie in a comprehensive utilization of laser technology, optics, computational methods, mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, and computer data acquisition and processing. Building off of these strengths, greatly diversified projects in a number of areas of current interest are being conducted using the Center's own unique and innovative methods.

Aaron Zendejas, a junior soccer athlete, took time out of his busy schedule to talk to NIUHuskies.com about being from Japan, art and trying to fly.
What was it like growing up in Japan?
It was everything you could imagine and more.
Why did you decide to come to NIU?
There aren't too many recruiting opportunities when you live over seas, but it turned out pretty good for me.
What is your biggest accomplishment as an athlete?
Just making it to this level, and also getting MVP honors for the Far-East soccer tournament over in Japan.
What is the hardest part about being a student athlete?
It's taxing all the time, mentally, physically, emotionally, psychologically. It's definitely a journey and I try to just embrace all these challenges because it's an opportunity I know most people don't get, so I'm definitely thankful for that.
Do you have any pregame rituals?
Not too much, I usually keep it low key. I try to reflect on how I got to this stage and try to keep my energy levels down until right before the game then I get all hyped up.
What is the best advice you have received from one of your coaches?
My head coach Steve Simmons, when he was recruiting me, said, "Aaron, playing for me is going to be the toughest thing you'll ever love."
Who is your all-time favorite soccer player?
Pavel Nedved, he is like a visionary. Plus he's a workhorse.
What's your favorite food?
Anything homemade. I also love Chinese food.
What actor would play you in a movie about your life?
Probably the Collin Farrell type, maybe even Benicio Del Toro.
When you were a kid what did you want to be?
A superhero.
What is your favorite class?
Anything that has to do with Communications.
What is your favorite activity outside of sports?
I'm a pretty good artist, I have a sketchbook that I like to do.
What is the talent you'd most like to have?
I want to learn to play the guitar.
What is your favorite TV show?
I usually stick to the either the Discovery Channel or Cartoon Network.
What is your all-time favorite movie?
What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you?
When I was young enough to do this I was standing outside on my roof, second story, because I actually thought I could fly. So I was about to jump off the roof, and these teenage girls came walking by screaming and told my parents, I got in big trouble.
What are the words you try to live by?
Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
What is something that few people know about you?
I write poetry from time to time.

With "LittleBigPlanet 3" on the horizon, it's not surprising that Sony would want to put Sackboy in the limelight as much as possible. Earlier today, Sept 4, Sony announced a new and unique "LittleBigPlanet" adventure for the PlayStation Vita, Android, and iOS, "Run Sackboy! Run!". This free-to-play title will have players controlling Sackboy through a new kind of side-scrolling adventure.
Dubbed as a "platform-survival" game, "Run Sackboy! Run!" will have the lovable avatar escaping the creativity-sucking Negativitron across three different, yet very familiar "LittleBigPlanet" worlds. The game will utilize the Vita's touchpad, with gamers using tap and swipe gestures to keep Sackboy from getting pummeled by the "LittleBigPlanet 2" villain.
Rather than have an endgame in sight, players are tasked with surviving as long as possible. Along their speedy chase across Craftworld's three stages, Sackboy will collect bubbles which can be used to purchase costumes and upgrades. Costumes are more than just cosmetic pieces this time around, as they provide built-in score multipliers, making it easier to amp up higher scores and purchase much-needed upgrades.
The endless runner style means that anyone can jump in and take control, but only the most skilled and fastest fingered players will be able to reach higher scores and brag on the public leaderboard. Even with upgrades in place, "Run Sackboy! Run!" is bound to keep challenging players with new obstacles and blockades. Power-ups like the jet pack, magnet, and shield will give minor advantages when things get really hairy.
The "LittleBigPlanet" series has always been known for its creative platforming, so to see it dive into the realm of simplistic gaming such as an endless runner is a fun little twist. Seeing as how "Run Sackboy! Run!" is slated to launch in October, almost a month before "LittleBigPlanet 3", you can bet that this high-speed romp will come with some unlockable content for Sackboy's latest adventure.
For more information on "Run Sackboy! Run" and other gaming news, subscribe today.

Is English glamour and lingerie model Gemma Atkinson the hottest ex-girlfriend of soccer star Ronaldo? Over the years, Cristiano Ronaldo has dated many different women, and almost all of them are really hot, but Gemma Atkinson is especially hot.
To show you I've created a slideshow of photos of Gemma Atkinson. You can see just how hot she is in the photos.
Is model Gemma Atkinson hottest ex-girlfriend of Ronaldo?
Gemma Atkinson was born on November 16, 1984, in Bury, Greater Manchester, England. She graduated from Castlebrook High School, which is located in Unsworth, a residential area of Bury in Greater Manchester.
Gemma Atkinson became famous in England when she began playing the role of Lisa Hunter on the English TV soap opera "Hollyoaks" in 2001. The fame she gained from being on the popular soap opera made Gemma Atkinson a sex symbol in England.
Since playing the role of Lisa Hunter on "Hollyoaks", Gemma Atkinson has appeared in men's magazines like Maxim, Zoo, Nuts, Arena, FHM, and Loaded. Usually dressed provocatively in swimsuits or lingerie, Gemma Atkinson has been on the covers of Nuts, Zoo Weekly, FHM, and Maxim.
In addition to her modeling in magazines, Gemma Atkinson has also released her own annual swimsuit calendars. Gemma started releasing her own swimsuit calendars in 2006, and they usually sold out well in advance of release.
In 2006, Gemma Atkinson first appeared on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women list, coming in at number 32. Gemma moved up to number 23 in 2007, and then rose to number 18 in 2008. She then tailed off to number 81 in 2009. Gemma Atkisnon also ranked number 46 in AskMen's list of the 99 Sexiest Women in 2008.
In 2007, Gemma Atkinson started dating soccer superstar Renaldo. By all accounts, the relationship was an on again, off again affair that lasted about a year at the most. Gemma Atkinson has a long history of dating soccer players. In addition to Ronaldo, Gemma has also been linked to soccer players Cleveland Campbell, Alan Smith, Darren Bent, Mark Furze, Marcus Bent and Liam Richards.
Hope you enjoy the photos of Gemma Atkinson in the slideshow. As you can see in the photos, Gemma Atkinson is really hot.

The 5 Circles of Baffling Web Comic Hell
The Insane Political Commentator
The next level down from the religious comics, and with quite a bit of overlap between the realms, we find the somehow equally insane political comics. Behold:
#5. Diversity Lane:
Above you can see that this comic by Zack Rawsthorne is either about a little girl, or a very old lady, who is upset that we are losing America. So this comic is a modern day Family Ties and Diversity Lane (the name of the girl up there) is like a new Alex P. Keaton?
"Hey, what is this, Cracked? Are you saying people are crazy just for being conservative?" Well...
...it depends on whether or not you think that while Michael Jackson's funeral was going on, America was simultaneously invaded by North Korea's navy, Iran's army and Russia's feared zeppelin fleet.
We get that those are symbols, but Diversity Lane's symbolism is what sends it crashing through the guardrails of Political Hack Bridge and splashing down into the rushing waters of Batshit River. Try to puzzle through this one:
The family is miniature golfing, a 20 foot-long anaconda curls out of the cardboard building that represents Korea, and we're supposed to laugh at the parents for suggesting that their little girl not fight the fucking snake? Guys, we don't care who you voted for in the last election; if you see a giant fucking serpent at the miniature golf course, alert the management. Do not have your children fight it with a golf club.
Then you have this one, where Diversity talks about how Mexico is sending "monster-criminals" and "floating pig-diseases" to destroy America:
Hell, that could easily be a liberal comic, mocking the overblown fears of the right. It's not.
But while Diversity Lane is indecipherable, it doesn't come close to the shrieking hall of mirrors that is...
#4. Hal Lindsey's Oracle Cartoons:
I have to thank Comedy Central's Indecision blog for introducing me to Hal Lindsey's work. So, thank you. And go to Hell.
As with the above, some of Hal's stuff is coherent enough to establish that he's pretty far on the right:
Obviously we can't go trusting a man who is "unashamedly black" (as the binding on one of his secret books says). Any good minority should admit what a shameful thing that is before attempting to run for office, and apologize in advance. But that's about as sane as the man's work gets:
There's no caption for the above comic. We didn't crop some crucial context. That's the whole thing. Transvestite Boy Scout leader. Elderly ACLU Fairy. Atheist gorilla, wearing a tie, ringing a bell to raise money for the Salvation Army at Christmas. Vote Republican.
What is so awesome about these is that it takes two people to make them (the artist is John Rule). I would pay a lot of money to sit in on their brainstorming sessions, the two men perfectly in tune with the message they're trying to convey.
"So I want a typical American family, at home. In fact, let's label their home "America." And Fear comes calling. Make it look scary, you know, in a black robe with 'FEAR' on its back in all caps. And Fear is bringing with it suitcases labeled 'Russia' and 'Iraq'-"
"-and Japan, Ireland and the U.K. Sure, sure."
"Also make sure the American family has the stars and stripes-"
"-instead of a curtain. Yeah, this isn't my first political comic, chief."
"You know, we really should do one on this whole Global Warming thing..."
"Way ahead of you, Hal. Got one right here."
"Great, that's pretty much exactly what I had in mind."
"Sure, sure. I mean, there's only so many ways to approach the subject, right?"
By the way, you may want to delete these off your computer. You know what'll happen when the liberals catch you reading them:
Though after they put you in jail for reading them, they apparently let you keep reading them as part of your rehabilitation.
OK, we have two levels to go, and we're getting down to dark realms where the howls of the damned can be heard. To take in what you're about to see, you'll need an open mind. A mind so open, in fact, that hobos have taken to squatting inside it, and smoking meth.
I offer you this last chance to turn away.

A continuing series:
A Very Calvin & Hobbes Christmas
Nigel Tufnel Day may have passed, but the Spinal Tap madness continues!
National Geographic did an interview with him regarding the origins of Stonehenge. He turns out to have many fascinating insights as to how it was actually built, some involving dinosaur spit.
Via Bill Crider comes yet another Top 100 Movie Comedies list. There is much to quibble with on this list (Brazil is way too low, Annie Hall is way too high, too few silent films and Eeling Comedies, Hot Fuzz should be higher, etc.), but given that it kicks the ass of that wretched College Humor list, I'm inclined to cut it some slack.
And they got #1 right.
"We don't allow faster than light neutrinos in here" said the bartender.
A neutrino walks into a bar.
(Stolen from NRO)
I missed this Cracked cartoon on Bad Logo Design when it came out earlier this year, but I'm posting it now because I can't stop cracking up at Nazi Jim's Panzerotti. (Some NSFW language.)
In other news, I'm still recovering from Armadillocon and various other personal upheavals, so blogging may be light until I manage to get a few ducks marching in the right direction…
Warning: Deceased Equine Flogging Next 500 Words
So: A little while back College Humor put up a list of the top 100 movie comedies of all times based on the votes of their readers. (If you want to avoid giving these idiots click traffic (and you should), this Fark thread helpfully offers up the entire list in the fourth post.) Based on the evidence, their readers are all either people who have consisted on a diet of nothing but chips of lead-based paint for several years, or under the age of 18. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a credible choice for number one, but not only is that about the only thing they got right, it's almost the oldest movie they have on the list; both Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles came out a year earlier. (Man, what a year Mel Brooks had! It's pretty much been a long, slow slide ever since…) That's right: The oldest film on the list is from 1974.
No Eeling comedies. No classic screwball comedies. No Marx Brothers. No Charlie Chaplin. No Buster Keaton. No Harold Lloyd.
However, even in the woefully inadequate time period covered, the Super-geniuses at College Humor managed to leave off This is Spinal Tap, but managed to make room for Jackass, Jackass 2, Black Sheep (a film that comes in at a robust 28% at Rotten Tomatoes) and (at number 11) Spaceballs.
I think this may in fact be the worst "Best of" movies list ever submitted to the public at large. Perhaps College Humor should rebrand themselves as "Middle School Humor"…

Samsung should be quite proud to be the strongest competition in the smartphone market against the fruit-logo juggernaut, Apple. Samsung have a goal of 10 million Galaxy S II sales before years end and at the rate they're going they should surpass this without a problem. It was only 7 weeks ago that I reported they had sold an impressive three million in 55 days.
President and Head of Samsung's Mobile Communications Business, JK Shin, has said:
In just a few months the Galaxy S II has led the way in driving Samsung's unmatched performance in the smartphone industry. Since being launched into the retail market in late April, the Galaxy S II has seen tremendous growth. This reflects the strong support from carrier partners globally, who in choosing the Galaxy S II as their flagship device have reaffirmed the device's status as a premium, market-defining Smartphone.

Linux patch???
I've got the linux .patch file in my codemp that I got thanks to dvoid's patch. But how do I execute the patch script under Linux? Also, how do I run make under Linux too? If there is a cmd line for such a thing, what is it?!
Thanks in advance. :)
Anyone ever have this problem?
There are Windows version of Unix/Linux commands, including patch, here:
On either Windows or Linux the command you need to enter should be:
patch -p1 -i jamp_game-2.patch
(On Windows, either copy patch to your codemp dir, or include the path to patch in the command line)
To run make under Linux:
The patch should create a file called "Makefile" in the game directory. If you have added new files to your project, you will have to edit Makefile to include them in the list of OFILES (e.g. g_mynewfile.o)
Otherwise, change to the game directory and enter the command "make". A .so should appear.
I downloaded the "UnxUtils.zip" from that url and I can't find where the .patch file is. Where is it?! I don't think I can really use it if it isn't even there :(
Please help me out :( What file do I need to download?
Also, how do you do this, "Otherwise, change to the game directory and enter the command "make". A .so should appear."?
I know, I'm a newbie, but I'm getting there ;) :cool:
I hope.
You could download this instead: http://homepage.mac.com/shadowboxer/unxutils.exe which will install automatically.
The program you need is patch.exe, with which you can appy jamp_game2.patch
However, I've just tried it, and it's not co-operating.
Opening up jamp_game2.patch in a text editor, reading through it and making the changes manually may be your best bet if you've already been editing the code.
Grab "Makefile" from Trimbo's universal SDK, and put it in codemp\game
If you have Linux (and if you're a coder and don't have Linux - WHY NOT? :p), build your code by booting Linux, changing the directory to codemp/game and entering the command "make".
I've got to go now, but I may return to quarrel with patch.exe later.
SO, I could just do this (using Windows XP Professional):
1. download Trimbo's universal sdk
2. unzip it
3. cut and paste the "Makefile" to my codemp/game directory
4. Compile my code like I normally would
And get a .so file of my mode in the codemp/game directory that would work in linux???
Is this what I have to do, if not please tell me EXACTALY what I have to do to make my server side mode a .so file.
Too bad I'm on a trip right now and can't test it :(
thanks in advance
We could have a Holy War here :D
Well, I personnally use Linux for...
Stability (granted, WinXP is a huge improvement)
The Bash shell - I find it particularly useful for coding, and of course scripting
Focus-Under-Mouse window managers (the need to have active windows on top in Windows REALLY annoys me)
A few nice GPL programs like GIMP
Better resource management (again, XP is an improvement - but is a memory hog)
The sheer joy of doodling at a low level with an OS :p
Security (how many Linux worms or viruses can you name?)
Obviously, Linux tends to excel in non-desktop roles, such as servers. I'm currently building a broadband firewall/router from a minimalist Linux distro.
Anyway, does this mean you need a volunteer to do Linux work for OJP? :)
I tell you what, if you email me your source (zipped please), I'll make a .so for you. I'll pm you my email address.

Texas quail hunters should not expect substantive changes for the 2012-13 season after the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission urged biologists to intensify quail conservation efforts, while minimizing the use of regulations as a means to address declining bobwhite populations.
"We don't see regulations as a defining tool to deal with the bigger, long term issues facing quail in Texas," said commission Chairman T. Dan Friedkin. "Quail conservation is a critically important issue and one that the department will continue to emphasize and invest resources in, but it's not a simple regulatory issue."
The chairman did not rule out the possibility of a regionally-zoned approach to quail seasons based on scientific justifications. The commission will discuss a proposed framework for the 2012-13 quail season at its May 23 public hearing and following the public comment period, render a final decision in August.
The commission signal to forego any major restructuring of the quail season for this year comes after careful deliberation of scientific studies and input from some of the nation's renowned bobwhite researchers. These scientists met in Austin recently to discuss the relationship between harvest regulations and population trends for quail. The group concluded that harvest regulations have little effect on quail population trends overall and that quail have been in decline over the long term due to losses in the quantity and quality of suitable habitat.
"Hunting did not cause quail declines," Robert Perez, upland game bird program leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, told commissioners. "Responding to annual variation in quail abundance gives the impression that populations can be influenced by regulatory changes when, in fact, weather and habitat are the driving forces."
The commission directed TPWD staff to redouble habitat management efforts using proven strategies and to continue to support habitat-based research. Specifically, TPWD should direct resources to development of focus areas that demonstrate successful quail restoration. These approaches are all part of TPWD's Upland Game Bird Strategic Plan which lays the groundwork for ongoing and future game bird conservation and management.
A focus area is generally larger than a county but smaller than an ecoregion with a boundary determined by opportunity, habitat potential and landowner and partner interest and participation. An example of a focus area is the Wildlife Habitat Federation site in South Central Texas where prairie grassland habitat restoration has been under way since 2004. Other potential sites have been identified through the Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture, a multi-state, federal conservation partnership focused on priority grassland birds.
A recent survey of states within the bobwhite range reported an interest in enhancing population monitoring efforts at the "focus area" scale, to measure the impacts of habitat manipulation and develop models that can be reproduced in other areas with restoration potential. This is becoming the national model for bobwhite quail conservation.
"Bobwhites respond to habitat improvements when they occur at a scale that can support a viable population," Perez noted. "When neighbors work together along with partners, quail can begin to recover. We need to demonstrate and document success at the focus area scale and encourage more folks to help old bob."
Much of the research and demonstration site work with bobwhite in Texas is funded with money generated by the Upland Game Bird Stamp program and matching grants through the federal Wildlife Restoration Program, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The funds allow TPWD's wildlife biologists to offer many services, including technical guidance to private landowners, surveys and research for development of hunting regulations, operation and management of Wildlife Management Areas in Texas, and research to develop techniques for managing wildlife populations and wildlife.
By law, Wildlife Restoration funding is limited to wildlife management, related public use, and hunter education. Funds collected from federal excise taxes paid by manufacturers (an 11% excise tax on sporting rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and archery equipment and a 10% tax on handguns) are distributed to states based on number of hunters and land area. Texas receives the maximum distribution allowable under the program, about $17.6 million in 2011.

The Wolverines' starters were held without a first half field goal (0-of-10) and scored just three points off three Kaycee Mansfield free throws. Mansfield made the first field goal for a UVU starter at the 18:01 mark of the second half. UVU's starters ended up 6-of-25 for the game (.240).
Colorado registered season highs in field-goals made (34), field-goal percentage (.479) and assists (18). Utah Valley's 45 points are the fewest giving up by the Buffaloes this season.
Chucky Jeffery (12 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists) moved into 15th on CU's all-time scoring list (1,329). She passes Sandy Bean who had 1,319 from 1978-82. She had one steal to tie former teammate Brittany Spears (2007-11) for seventh in career steals at 237. Her seven assists were a personal and team season-high.
Jen Reese (16 points, 6-of-10 FG) set a new career scoring high, passing her previous total of 15 achieved on two other occasions, most recently against Illinois earlier this season. Reese has scored in double figures in seven of 10 contests, all off the bench.
Brittany Wilson (11 points, 2-of-6 3FG, 7 rebounds, 4 assists) moved into a tie for 12th in career 3-pointers made with 84, matching LaShena Graham's mark from 1994-98). Her seven rebounds were a season high.
Arielle Roberson (10 points, 4 rebounds) tied Tracy Tripp's school record (1985-86) by scoring in double figures for the 10th straight game to begin her career.

The 'Pirates' of Prirazlomnaya
It may not have been the Greenpeace protesters' intent, but there is ample precedent to suggest that the arrest of unarmed civil disobedients who have galvanised the public's attention rarely works in the interests of the arresting powers. Whether that turns out to be the case here remains uncertain, writes Chris Fleming.

Urban Gardening in Detroit
The Urban Gardening program in Detroit is remarkable. The 2010 annual report states that 1 in 50 residents are involved in the urban gardening program. 5035 adults and 10422 youths participated this past year from Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. And what better use is there for land is there than to feed people by providing fresh produce and also improve the appearance of the area.
The Garden Resource program is less than ten years old. During this ten year period, many experienced gardeners and farmers have passed their expertise on to younger and inexperienced farmers. The program is also supported by Michigan State University. The program includes classes in basic gardening, irrigation, pest control, fertilization and many other subjects.
The Garden Resource center provides support for gardeners at 1200 farms in the metro Detroit area. Some of the support they provide includes compost, trellises, seeds, tools and even manpower.
The initiative was founded by The Greening of Detroit, EarthWorks Urban Farm, Michigan State University Extension, and the Detroit Agriculture Network, along with others. Last year 796 gardeners attended classes taught by community members and professional farmers. Class attendance increased 56% over 2009. The classes also include cooking and food preservation classes where gardeners learned from renowned local chefs and sampled tasty dishes after each demonstration. They also offer instruction on Bee Keeping.
The program also provides field trips Ann Arbor and Dexter's U- Pick Blueberry Farm as well as other urban gardens. At harvest time, a BBQ is held for everyone to enjoy the fruits of their labor and share with the community. The held a summer fest on Belle Isle complete with music.
There are three participation levels: family gardens, Community/School gardens, and Garden advocates who do not farm but are interested in supporting the initiative.
Earlier this month, the garden initiative met at Focus Hope Technology center to review the successes of the program and plan for next year. The event was well attended and clearly illustrated the high level of interest in this worthwhile endeavor.
If you are interested in this program, the website is WWW.Detroitagriculture.org. Or contact The Greening of Detroit at 313 237-8736.
