Chris Betts began his comedy career in Montreal, Canada and has since performed all across Europe and North America. He's made appearances at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival, SXSW and the Zulu Comedy Festival. Chris was chosen as part of the prestigious Pleasance Comedy Reserve at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and he returned to Edinburgh to perform his successful first solo show, Social Animal, in 2015. He has been published in the Huffington Post and the Alarmist and voices a number of characters in the cult hit animated comedy Sam Sweetmilk. Chris Betts' mind is a curious place, where the philosophical meets the ridiculous. His shows are a perfect balance of incisive social satire and complete silliness.

Hey gang here's a taster of some of the voice work I've been doing with Jason Weight for his cartoon Sam Sweetmilk. I'll also be the voice of the Commissioner in his upcoming cartoon Problem Officer.
I can't post the video for some reason but here's the link of me riffing some alien party conversation:
Sam Sweetmilk Behind the scenes Ep.2
There's a general sense of delight that overcomes One when One has found a person who finds a general sense of delight in causing One a general sense of delight. There's nothing quite like it. It's delightful. It resonates inside One like a gospel choir's vibratos in a gothic church's water closet. One remembers that that is what One was made for. One realizes how much One had missed by hiding away from the world. One feels like One.
Seven on the other hand, feels nothing but a burning desire for vengeance. Thirty-Two sits on the curb listening to the disturbed ramblings of Twenty-Three because he feels like he's looking at his reflection and worries if he can't help him then he might lose himself. Four Hundred and Fifty-Five sits on the stoop with his books, asking the big questions to no one, while Six works two jobs to support him because despite everything she still loves him. Seventy-Three and Forty-Nine are stealing cars and playing dice while the letters A and D are duping tourists with three card monty and spend school days in the pool halls. L, M, N, and O are comforting P who didn't get into university and is pregnant with Fifty-Five's number. What will her algebra-ist parents say?
But worse off, worse off by far, is Two. Two, the head of the Consonants, a murder of ruthless hard sounds, has to decide whether to turn state's evidence or be murdered in prison. Slowly. "Lose lose." She keeps repeating to herself. The only question remaining is, what's the point of dignity? Four Hundred and Fifty-Five had always helped her with questions like this, but he's not here and the gun is.
This is a day on Sesame Street. The gang's all here.
Sunday night at 9 on FXX
Are there many sounds more satisfying than that of a cup of hot, freshly-brewed coffee being poured into a mug covered with kittens saying "Wassa matta you?"? The soft gurgle of dark sweaty caffeine as it tumbles into itself, like a portable ocean of hangover cure and fresh starts. Perhaps a newborn's laugh? Or a dog telling a joke? Or a waterfall giving sound tax advice? But mostly no. There is no substitute. A cup of coffee is one of mankind's greatest beverages, almost entirely due to that very sound.
The word coffee comes from a combination of the words "cough" and the expression "Fee-fi-fo-fum" due to its humble beginnings in the 17th century. Back then it was used as medicine by giants in hills of Turkey. Sometimes, in their merriment, the giants would knock over a cup and it's contents would cascade down the mountains and into the villages, and though the veritable tsunami of caffeine cascading towards them posed a very real threat to not only their homes but to their persons, they were inevitably lulled into a deep sleep by that very sound and many lives were lost.
Unpopular for decades afterwards, it wasn't until the 1950s that coffee wedged its way into the middle of the food pyramid like a delicious uncursed pharaoh, helping people to shake off the shackles of sleep and rise into the freedom of another crushing work day. Coffee first appealed because of its rich dark colour which made drinking coffee in America a covert way to protest segregation, like the Jesus fish in ancient times or the Live Strong bracelet of early 2000s.
Coffee truly came into fashion in the late 50s when the job of CEO was created. The men filling the new roles felt they needed to look more important to distract from the fact that they had no idea what exactly it was that a CEO does. And so they took to carrying mugs full of piping hot coffee with them everywhere as they barked out orders about "re-prioritizing" and "market share", earning as much of their salary from pure unadulterated confidence as from their thick lustrous hair and penises. To try to emulate their leaders, the workers in offices quickly took to drinking coffee in the morning, noon, afternoon and night noon. This led to short-term increases of productivity from caffeine boosts and long-term mental health conditions from lack of sleep.
In the 1960s coffee was rejected by the youth movement of hippies and the gradually-aging as a tool of the Man, whereas herbal tea was seen as a tool of the WoMan who, unable yet to truly participate in the work place, was seen as a nurturing instead of a driving force. Naps ruled the day and coffee was left on the shelf, the hyperactive step-child no one wanted to feed on Christmas.
In the 70s coffee was again brought to the forefront as being a perfect pairing with cocaine. Whispered tales of Jesus doing a line off of the top of a cup of coffee were exchanged by groups of bankers huddled in toilet cubicles. Some said it was what gave him the strength to overthrow the tables of the money changers. Others said it was what brought him back from the dead. Some said he just loved to party. Whatever the truth was, Christianity in America was on the rise, coffee was riding the wave and neither has looked back since.
It was the great record producer Phil Spector who first smelled the sight of the sound of pouring coffee in popular music. He put it in "Be my Baby" by the Ronnettes instead of drums in a visionary move that changed music for generations to come. Soon everyone was using coffee percussion. The Rolling Stones had Charlie Watts on the French press for most of the album Their Satanic Majesty's Request as well as their oft-overlooked cover album The Rolling Stones do the Chipmunks.
Soon the soothing rhythm of coffee was picked up by marketing firms. It began slowly by being put in the background of whiskey commercials to make Dewar's seem less threatening to children. Soon companies of all kinds were capitalizing on coffee's dulcet tones and it began to be used to sell cars, stray cats and in one instance even xylophones. Charities like Unicef immediately saw the benefit of coffee sounds and would regularly use them to counter the icky feeling that videos of fly-covered starving children would cause. Studies showed that coffee sounds decreased nervous channel flipping during Unicef commercials by nearly 80%. The move worked too well though. Soon it emerged that the tones and pitches and rolling serenity that is pouring a cup of coffee was so soothing to people that they had started recording Unicef commercials and watching them to relax. This normalization of fly-covered starving children reversed the "shame" that Unicef had tried to cause with them and led many to believe that starving, as one congresswoman put it, "wasn't that bad after all". 19,000 American children lost their lives in what is now being called "the biggest coffee-related on-purpose starving of children from a misunderstood television commercial in recorded history".
But despite its ups and downs, coffee plugs on. A conversation-starter in the break room. A taste of adulthood for the sullen child. An early morning apology for late-night drunken tambourine practice. A scalding stain on your jeans. A worthwhile 5-pound investment. It's safe to say that coffee, like foosball, is truly here to stay.
I'm on the Huffington Post website with a thing that you lucky ducks got to see first.
I have never read a "women aren't funny" article that has made me laugh. Therefore I think it is safe to say that people who think that women aren't funny, aren't funny. And since they aren't funny they have no business having published opinions on who is and who is not funny. Imagine a zoologist who had written a paper on the mating habits of mandrills without having successfully mated with a mandrill! His peer reviews would read "Unreliable!" and "Fuck that monkey! For science!".
However having just made you laugh I endorse this message.
Bullying is still a very large problem in our society.
Whether it's of nerds, dorks, weaklings, tattletales, crybabies, losers, teacher's pets or assistant managers it has to stop. The time for equal treatment for all of these lesser-thans has come and it's up to us to do it because if they could defend themselves we wouldn't have this problem.
There are a number of options. Here they are in list form.
1. Treat the bullies like actual bulls. Have them chase a Spaniard around a ring for the entertainment of the masses. Then at the end, when they're all tuckered out, have the bully bronzed and left on Wall St to think about what they've done.
42. Bully the bullies. Make bully a bad word. Ban kids from calling bullies bullies because "it's mean". Nothing makes kids want to make fun of other kids like having adults tell them it's not ok. This will reverse the bullying universe turning the bullied into the bullies and vice versa and while not actually doing anything to solve bullying it's nice that everyone gets a turn.
Seven. Leave three bullies hanging dead by the neck from the flag pole outside the school like they used to do with pirates. When I was younger my friends and I all saw Pirates of the Caribbean where that happened and to this day none of us are pirates. The system works.
#. Social Darwinism.
Cousins are a troublesome group.
Cousins, from the French: Cushions, are people you know and don't know. Like the milkman and Kanye West. They are a collection of similar DNA placed at the interpersonal distance equivalent to the being across a well lillypadded pond in that you recognize parts of them but their details are shaky and their odor is damp.
Etymologicallyallyally and romantically cousins are most popular in the South of the United States of America because of their French background courtesy of the Bourbon royal family's support during the American civil war. When a representative from the Bourbon family remarked on a Southern emissary's particularly husky young female cousin's behind as being "More cushion for the pushin", an idiom and a lifestyle were born. Immediately thinking that sleeping with portly semi-distant relatives was all the rage in Paris and not wanting to be seen as provincial, every Southerner with a braeburn shaped uncle's daughter was to be suddenly gallivanting about town, arm in arm with their rotund kin saying things like "Extra grits for my lovely blood relative please." the goal being to have the most cousin for "pushin" to show off they're ability to not only afford to feed their cousins to the point of what was eventually to become an epidemic, but also to show that, like the French, they too got hard at the mere thought of big fat cousins. Soon after it was discovered that these Southern aristocrats thought that French people were cousin lovers the Bourbon Family (themselves from a bamboo shoot of a family tree) became affronted at such behavior and ordered their support for the confederates be revoked thus winning the war for the the Union. The French left without a word and it has always been assumed by the population of the confederate states that it was because they had beaten the French, known to be the world's great lovers, at their own game and instead of admitting they had been bettered at inbreeding had simply left in a huff like cowards in the night. A reputation that the Second World War did nothing to help.
However for most of us cousins are simply the people we have to visit at the less important holidays like Thanksgiving and your grandmother's birthday who smell wrong and have strange family traditions. Here is my field guide to dealing with cousins:
1.Don't have sex with your cousin.
2.If your cousin offers to have sex with you kindly decline and say "I think Grandma's opening her presents now we should probably go back into the living room".
2a. Say this especially when it's not your grandmother's birthday so your cousin thinks you might have lost your mind. It will comfort them to believe that even if you do tell someone what they proposed no one will believe crazy old you anyways which will make the next time they ask you to pass the stuffing much less awkward.
3.Don't introduce your cousins to your friends. Cousins are inevitably lonely people (except for you of course. you are the cousin that has it all going on.) and will latch desperately onto your friend group and claim kinship as the reason you have to let them hang out with you. It's much easier to just give them a false phone number and go about your business.
I hope this has been helpful and informative.

Lonesome Pete shows bulls how it's done
This week there was a tumultuous donnybrook at the local tapestry retailer, Lonesome Pete's Tapestry Emporium That Ruined My Marriage But I Hold Onto It Just To Show That Bitch That Opening a Tapestry Store Wasn't The Worst Mistake of My Life (generally referred to by the locals simply as Lonesome Pete's), when a drunken and irate Lonesome Pete set fire to a tapestry worth over $500 and assaulted a rodeo clown after a customer asked how his wife was doing.
Enraged and fueled by a steady diet of poppers and cinnamon flavoured whiskey, Lonesome Pete (or Pete as he prefers to be called) began headbutting the western-themed entertainer to the tune of "What becomes of the broken hearted" by Jimmy Ruffin while allegedly screaming "Can't you read my fucking sign!?!" as onlookers originally cheered and laughed thinking it was part of an act then, upon understanding the situation, proceeded to bet on how many verses of the classic Motown favorite Lonesome Pete would make it through before he developed whiplash. The clown, who refused to be named, was in L.P.T.E.T.R.M.M.B.I.H.O.I.J.T.S.T.B.T.O.A.T.S.W.T.W.M.O.M.L. looking for a calming blue tapestry to buy as a wedding gift for his betrothed bull whom he is to marry in international waters on the summer solstice of next year. When squeezed for a comment, his squeaky nose was quoted as saying "honk!" but his mouth, as controlled by his comatose brain, refused to speak to reporters.
After craniumly assaulting the barreled bozo Lonesome Pete ran out to the forest to gather moss and twigs to start a fire. His reasoning for this was unclear as there was a flamethrower in the back of his store just begging to be used. Upon returning with the desired supplies and with a scout troupe in tow whom he was about to "teach a goddamned lesson to", he tore down a tapestry of unparalleled intricacy and proceeded to ignite it using the friction caused by rubbing his sticks and moss together in it's center and "hoping for the best" as he has never been into the woods before in his "goddamned" life. As it turns out he is a natural.
No charges were laid as it was his own property which he set alight and no one really cares about a rodeo clown who's into bestiality. The clown was taken to the forest and shot execution style by the boy scout troupe to earn their "bettering society one bullet at a time" badge. When asked for comment Lonesome Pete said that he "never loved that bitch anyways and he hopes she gets gonorrhea."
On the plus side, local gambling addict "Steve" can keep his knees a little while longer thanks to having correctly bet that whiplash would set in after the lyrics "I've got to find some piece of mind" on it's second reprieve and winning $250 which his wife made him immediately give to her in order to pay off the mafia.
I've decided I need a website that I can update myself and mess around with blogging and such so I'm setting this up now. My good friend Jonah Coombes set up a great website for me but he's a busy guy and I always felt bad asking him to update things for me cause I'm too stupid to work out how the magic box with the porn and free movies is able to make my face go to people's houses.
So here we are. This is me while I'm doing this in my apartment with a bottle of Russell's Reserve rye, a shot glass and a recently empty bowl of Honeycombs by my side.
You can see how I'm flummoxed.
So this will evolve and change and dance and sing and make you laugh both with me and at me over time. Check it for upcoming shows, random online diary-ing and gratuituous use of multisyllabic verbosity as well as videos, updates and nonsense.
Chris Betts isn't funny. I've said it before and I'll say it again. (If anyone can send me a doo-wop beat to sing that over I'd really appreciate it)

Steve Jobs Is Still Alive
CBS News made a mistake.
As a general rule of life, deaths of well-known people should be confirmed before they're reported. Hell, make that the deaths of anyone. You don't tell your kids, "Kids, there are rumors that Grandpop has died." You just wait until you know for sure, and then you tell them.
The CBS News–linked Twitter account @WhatsTrending violated this rule today when it sent out this message to its over 11,000 followers: "Reports say that Steve Jobs has passed away. Stay tuned for more updates." It's unclear what "reports" @WhatsTrending was referring to, and the update, as you can see above, was that Steve Jobs isn't actually dead.
This isn't even the first time this has happened to poor Jobs. In 2008, Bloomberg News accidentally ran its Jobs obituary while they were updating it for future use. Someday, Steve Jobs will die for real, and nobody will believe it.

Helping to Restore the Freedom and Dignity of Mobility to our Nations Wounded Disabled Heroes
We changed our name to Independence Corps so our veterans and donors could more easily identify with our mission.

While prayers and bowed heads were certainly the order of the day as the city marked the eighth anniversary of the September 11 terrorists attacks, some local residents opted to express their anguish, as well as their pride in their country, more creatively.
At a special 9/11 event at the Powerhouse Arena, 37 Main Street in DUMBO, residents read poems and performed songs they had written about 9/11 and how the city handled the tragedy head-on.
While some performed original tunes inspired by the historic day, others sang classic pieces that best described the mood they felt both when the Towers came crumbling down as well as on the days that followed, when the city crawled itself back from the brink of disaster.
But the performers in the Powerhouse Arena weren't the only ones singing their hearts out.
Earlier that morning the Grammy award winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus based on Pacific Street participated at the city's annual 9/11 memorial event at Ground Zero. They opened the services with "The Star Spangled Banner" and closed the event with Mariah Carey's "Hero," attendees said.

Hickory police seek missing girl, question stepmom
Published: Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 1:53 a.m.
HICKORY, N.C. (AP) — As Hickory police searched for a missing, hearing-impaired 10-year-old girl with an artificial leg, they arrested the child's stepmother Sunday on unrelated charges.
Zahra Clare Baker was reported missing Saturday afternoon about 12 hours after her father and stepmother said they last saw her sleeping in her bed, the Hickory Police Department said in a news release Sunday.
Hickory police spokesman Maj. Clyde Deal said Elisa Baker faces about two dozen charges, including one felony, in cases unrelated to the disappearance of her stepdaughter. He would not immediately say what the charges are.
She was in the process of being booked Sunday and it was unclear whether she has an attorney. There was no telephone listing for the Bakers.
Investigators said Elisa Baker and the girl's father, Adam Baker, were interviewed about Zahra's disappearance. The FBI also is investigating the case.
Zahra was last seen wearing a camouflage Army T-shirt and black knee-length tights, according to an Amber Alert issued Saturday. She is 5-feet, 1-inch tall, weighs 85 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes. Zahra is hearing-impaired and has a prosthetic left leg from the knee down.
"We are deeply concerned for the welfare of Zahra but remain hopeful that we will locate her safe and unharmed," the Hickory Police Department said in its news release.
Anyone with information about the missing girl, can call Hickory police at 828-328-5551.

Pat Dalton, 82
Published: Sunday, March 20, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 20, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
James Parris "Pat" Dalton, 82, of Old Fort Road, Fairview, passed away Friday, March 18, 2005, at Mission Hospitals after an extended illness.
He was born in Rutherford County, but spent his entire life in the Fairview community. He retired from the VA Medical Center as the chief of operations, and had worked for Moser's for 20 years prior to that. He was an ordained deacon with Oteen Baptist Church.

Yields Fall Most in 4 1/2 Years on Foreign Purchases; Rand Gains
South African bond yields declined the most since 2008 as the cost of goods leaving factories slowed and foreigners purchased more local debt than they sold. The rand gained the most out of emerging market currencies.
Foreign investors bought a net 905 million rand ($91 million) of local bonds yesterday, paring the month's selloff to 7.8 billion rand, according to data from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Emerging markets rebounded after data showing the U.S. economy grew less than previously estimated, spurring speculation the Federal Reserve will hold back from reducing monetary stimulus.
"The rally is a correction of some of the huge sell-off we have seen, not just in the rand but across emerging-market currencies, equities and bonds," Vivienne Taberer, who helps manage the equivalent of $13.5 billion in emerging-market debt and currencies at Cape Town-based Investec Asset Management, said in an e-mailed response to questions.
The rand gained 1.8 percent to 9.9309 per dollar as of 3:50 p.m. in Johannesburg, the best performer among 24 emerging market currencies monitored by Bloomberg, 20 of which gained against the U.S. currency. Yields on government debt due December 2026 fell 30 basis points, or 0.30 percentage point, to 7.85 percent, the most since December 2008 on a closing basis.
Producer Inflation
Producer-price inflation for final manufactured goods slowed to 4.9 percent from 5.4 percent in April, Statistics South Africa said on its website today. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey was 5.2 percent. The rate of growth on the nation's Consumer Price Index declined to 5.6 percent last month from 5.9 percent a month earlier, lower than the predicted 5.8 percent increase, the agency said June 19.
The lower-than-expected PPI and CPI data "are good news" even though the inflation outlook is clouded by the rand's decline this year, Nedbank Group Ltd. economists including Johannes Khosa said in a note. "The Reserve Bank will continue to strike a balance between weak growth and the poor inflation outlook by maintaining its accommodative monetary policy stance well into 2014."
South Africa's central bank won't necessarily raise interest rates to ward off inflationary pressures as the country's economy remains weak, Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus said yesterday. Forward-rate agreements starting in four months, used to speculate on interest rates, declined for a fifth day to 5.26 percent from 5.32 percent yesterday.
The rand has weakened 15 percent this year against the dollar, the worst performance of emerging markets.

"at the airport..." Dallas by Rich62
Dallas Travel Guide: 1,373 reviews and 2,542 photos
We were impressed with the size of the airport and with the distances between the 5 or 6 terminals. But it was effeciently run although very, very busy.
The acres of glass give a nice open and bright feeling to the airport.
OK I know there is another word for these trains but just can't think of it now. The main thing is, they are very efficient and timely, and easy to use.
- Pros:A WELL-RUN AIRPORT
- Cons:CROWDED AT TIMES
- In a nutshell:WE WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE THIS AIRPORT AGAIN.

Iggy Pop's Heartbreak and Heartaches
This one looks at those artists who've taken the uncomfortable experience of Heartbreak and Heartache and made it into aural art.
Iggy's musical legacy has inspired and energised rock and roll's alternative spirit since the late Sixties and his bare chested stage antics have marked him as a truly iconic frontman.
In Iggy Pop's Radio Show he will offer listeners an exclusive insight into the mind of one of the most influential rock stars of the last 40 years.

Great Portable Stand,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arkon Folding Tablet Stand for iPad Air iPad mini iPad and Android Tablet (Personal Computers)
Great portable stand. In my opinion, the item description nails it. It is very portable when folded up; can be easily tossed in a drawer or bag. It held my iPad perfectly while in its case and is sturdy enough to operate. It didn't slide around the counter tops and is adjustable for different viewing angles. It pretty much suits all of my requirements. However, my one minor complaint is that when the iPad is sitting vertically in the mount and the charging cable is plugged in, the cable interferes with the stability of the iPad. In other words, if the mount held the iPad maybe just a half-inch higher off the surface, the plug wouldn't be a problem. Horizontally is of course no problem. I personally don't find this to be an issue as I seldom have it plugged in when I'm using it anyway.

flash gordon, m.d. says:
if you rotated the ipad 180 degrees so the charging cable came out of the (then) top, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Red State Guy says:
It might, as long as you didn't have a consistent need for the home button and if the docking cable didn't interfere (since I haven't seen an Apple cable with a right angle, or at least not to the degree that mini/micro-USB connectors are on the market).
That would also depend on apps which support a 180-degree vertical orientation, as well.

BruceK says:
Of course it would ... I don't get the complaint really. It might even be better because if the button is at the top then you have the choice of pressing it or squeezing it from the front and back simultaneously. You can also rotate it 90 and 270 degrees. Don't really see the problem. I had the same complaint about the Kindle, but the Kindle has the keyboard in a set orientation so not quite the same.

Rotating the charge port to the top works as long as you don't need the camera while it's in the stand.

Rudy R. Rodriguez Jr. says:
To be clear, the stand wobbles slightly with the adapter connected from the bottom. The wire must exit the front, and not exit the back (which would had been cleaner). Putting rubber feet to extend the height of the base might be a little challenging. The bottom already has a nice soft padding, so the feet would have to stick to that (and not a hard surface). Also, the feet must be small (about 1/3" wide) yet tall (about 1/2" tall). I'm sure the next version would increase the size to fix this small annoyance. See link: http://campl.us/blch

Chris G. says:
Very Quick & Easy Solution:
Get yourself some of those nifty Self-Adhesive Rubber-Feet packages ($1-$5 for 2-8) that have some round or square 1/2" thick pads. Attach them to the underside of the support legs. This will give you some extra height/lift, and will prevent sliding. Also, it'll give you a bit of a "slot" under the legs to let the cords run under without interfering with stability.
NOTE: Use rubbing alcohol on the spot before sticking it on, it'll hold a lot better.
In reply to an earlier post on Jun 12, 2011 8:18:46 AM PDT
Rudy R. Rodriguez Jr. says:
The underside of the support legs already have an adhesive form (to prevent table scratching) that covers the entire underside on both legs (about 1/8" thick).
Posted on Jun 12, 2011 7:26:12 PM PDT
Chris G. says:
To Rudy: Meh, but that's just a thin sheet of material. It couldn't hurt to use the 'foot' method to lift it a bit higher. Hell, you can even use a big square and then attach a small round to the square. The thin sheet could also be removed if the feet won't stick to it. I adapt so many things with those li'l' rubber feet that I tend to have plenty in stock for those just-in-case moments. :-) You'd be surprised by the sizes available and the uses to which they've been applied.
I'll let you know more when I get the delivery and see this thing for myself. Granted, I've got the Acer A500 with an adapter that doesn't seem to get in the way, but just maybe I'll need to get a lift myself. :-)
'Til then...

Thanks. We need a holder for Skyping while the Fire is HDMI to the TV. The HDMI port would surely interfere if the seat is so low.

He already knows you can do that! His (valid) complaint is that plugging the wire into the top of the unit makes the whole thing unstable.

Many women won't answer this because they'll get beaten up for having an abortion. Sad, because I really would like to know. I did some research on the web last night but couldn't find any concrete statistics from an objective source. All I found was "many" or "98%" or "most."
I think many women do regret it at first. It's a natural loss. But 5 years later, 10 years later, etc... do they still regret it? Or do they realize it was the best decision for that time of their life?
This could be an interesting discussion, but I doubt we can keep the fanatics and the blow-hards out.
#5 Jun 21, 2007
When I was 18, I was pregnant with my steady boyfriend. Despite the odds and the times, I had the baby but I did seriously think about abortion, after all, all my friends were going to college, I know of 3 girls in our class of 26 that did. MY beautiful daughter that came from that is 30 now and she just had her first baby. The joy I have now makes me cry to think of how things could have ended up. I see and hear of so many women who want to adopt and cannot due to lack of available children.
I went back to college later and am doing well.
#6 Jun 21, 2007
I also know of a young woman who has had 11 abortions. She was apparently incapable of remembering to take birth control. Her view of pregnancy is quite awful, it is not taken seriously at all. She has 3 children, the first two live with their fathers. I do suspect as she gets older she may regret her decisions and lifestyle.

Just to make it easier for you, here are the questions again.
Again, I ask you. How would that additional ONE MILLION babies survive? Can the earth keep providing food and water for them? Where will the teachers, the doctors, the other health care workers, the PARENTS, the housing, et al come from???
Most people want to adopt a healthy white baby. They don't want the developmentally delayed, the physically handicapped, the AIDS babies, the crack babies. Where will they live? How will they be taken care of?
You and your ilk are SO incredibly irresponsible in just encouraging young girls to have their babies without looking at the possible future.
Don't just worry about carrying the pregancy to term. Think of those children's future as well.
And your lying videos. Showing an abortion obviously performed late term and telling some young girl who's 8 weeks pregnant that will be her baby. How can you? How can you talk her into having a child by lying to her? And then not worrying one iota when she walks out determined to have her baby, and you don't even give a damn what happens to her or the baby anymore. Your job is done! But hers has just begun. And then you'll look at kids running the streets with snotty noses and read about young girls leaving their babies in a car so they can party, and you won't ever connect it with the young girl you lied to.

I posted this forum for yes/no answers. If you feel the need to elaborate your answer please do so. I did not intend for this forum to be a prolife/prochoice debate or discussion. Thanks

Have you ever read "The Handmaids Tale"? All these people who won't take care of the overabundance of unwanted children should think about it, or read Sheri Tepper and see what happens when Nature strikes back.
11 does seem like a lot of abortions, I mean if she didn't want kids go sterilazation.
I would think that most women would not make that decision w/o a lot of thought and soul searching so they probably would have given the thought of regrets consideration
#13 Jun 21, 2007
What's not to get? What's wrong with that? What's the difference between 1 or 100. Either they are all right or they are all wrong. There's no threshhold where it suddenly becomes wrong.

Why judge her? Maybe her life was in danger 11 times.

Yes I read it and don't really worry about a Canadian author's warnings that the whole world is going to go to heck cause abortions are made illegal. It wasn't a very good novel.

Yes and no.
The first three I was totally cool with. I could have never supported those babies.
The twins I sort of feel guilty about sometimes, when I see twins in a stroller or in a doublemint commercial or something.
The last 2--forget about it. Their dad was such an ass. They would have come to no good.

Japan Stocks Rise on IMF Forecast, Spanish Bonds
Japanese shares rose, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average gaining the most in three weeks, after Spain sold more debt than its target and the International Monetary Fund raised its global economic forecast, boosting the earnings outlook for Japanese exporters.
Canon Inc., a camera maker that gets more than 30 percent of its revenue in Europe, rose 3.2 percent. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., Japan's biggest lender, rose 2.9 percent on optimism Europe's debt won't derail the global recovery. Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd. advanced 5.4 percent after the Nikkei newspaper reported it plans to commercialize a system that combines solar power generation with storage batteries.
The Nikkei 225 gained 2.1 percent to 9,667.26 as of the 3 p.m. trading close in Tokyo, rising the most since March 27. The broader Topix Index added 2 percent to 819.27 with all but one of its 33 industry groups advancing. Gains accelerated as Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Kiyohiko Nishimura said it's ready for additional easing if necessary, fueling speculation that further loosening may be announced at the bank's April 27 meeting.
"The markets are getting used to Europe's woes, which are still negative factors but getting stale," said Masafumi Oshiden, an investment manager at ING Mutual Funds Management Co. (Japan) Ltd., which holds about $18.5 billion. "We are seeing a rally across sectors with big shares leading the way up."
The benchmark Nikkei 225 has retreated 6 percent since March 27, when it recouped losses since last year's natural and nuclear catastrophes. The gauge has fallen on renewed concern about Europe's debt crisis and signs of economic slowdown in China and the U.S.
IMF Raises Estimate
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.1 percent today. The gauge climbed 1.6 percent in New York yesterday after the IMF raised its 2012 global growth estimate to 3.5 percent from 3.3 percent and Spanish bonds gained following an auction. Expectations that Europe's debt crisis is stabilizing outweighed data that showed production at U.S. factories dropped in March for the first time in four months and builders broke ground on fewer homes than forecast.
"The environment for equities is pretty good," said Donald Williams, chief investment officer at Platypus Asset Management Ltd. in Sydney, which manages about $1 billion. "Even though 2012 is going to be a tough year because most of Europe will be in recession for a large part of this calendar year, you are still looking at a global growth rate of 3.5 percent, which is a pretty decent."
Makers of electronics and cars contributed about 34 percent to the Topix's rally as the yen fell against all of its 16 major counterparts. A weaker Japanese currency boosts the value of overseas earnings for companies that do business abroad.
Canon added 3.2 percent to 3,820 yen. Toyota Motor Corp., Asia's biggest carmaker, advanced 2.8 percent to 3,330 yen.
Banking Stocks Advance
Financial shares also rose as concern about the European debt crisis receded. Mitsubishi UFJ advanced 2.9 percent to 397 yen. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc., Japan's second-biggest bank by market value, rose 2.4 percent to 2,693 yen.
Sumitomo Electric Industries advanced 5.4 percent to 1,099 yen. The company will sell a system that combines solar power with storage batteries, the Nikkei reported. A test facility is being built in Yokohama, and the company is targeting about 100 billion yen ($1.23 billion) in sales in fiscal 2020.
The Nikkei 225 Volatility Index fell 4.9 percent to 19.59, indicating traders expect a swing of about 5.6 percent on the benchmark equity gauge over the next 30 days. Trading volume was 22 percent below the 30-day average.
Shares on the Topix are valued at one times book value, compared with 2.3 times for the S&P 500 and 1.4 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. A number below one means that investors can buy companies for less than the value of their assets.

A lot has been written about Sriti Jha aka Ganga's entry in Colors' Balika Vadhu(Sphere Origins) and now the show will enter into a flashback mode and Ganga's past story will be revealed.
What will unfold? Well…Jagya (Shashank Vyas) has noticed Ganga being ill treated by her husband and mother-in-law hence, out of concern he will try digging deep and unearth more about her life. This is when he will come across a servant at Ganga's place who will tell Jagya about Ganga.
It will get revealed that Ganga was married to a man named Ratan. She entered the wedlock at a pretty young age. Ratan married Ganga since his first wife could not conceive a child. But on Ganga too not being able to give birth to a kid, Ratan went ahead to marry another woman. However, soon after that, Ratan learnt about Ganga's pregnancy, hence he decided to keep her back while the third wife too stayed with them.
Coming back to the present day, Ganga stays with Ratan like a servant.
We also hear that soon after Jagya learns about her story he will connect it with that of Anandi's (Pratyusha Banerjee) life. Therefore, he will try helping her in his own ways in the upcoming episodes.
When contacted Shashank he said, "Anandi had her in-laws with her but Ganga does not even have that bit of comfort. So, Jagya will try and help her in all possible ways."

Party Scene:
I don't go to party's here.
Party Scene:
Since other schools are close by, I tend to go there.
Few options but I like it because I have already taken many classes towed my major unlike many other freshman at other schools.
Drug Safety:
No drugs, alcohol is pretty normal as it is at all schools.
Overall Experience:
It's great being in the middle of the city because campus is so small. I just wish campus was prettier and we could take care of the park's grass.
Overall Experience:
Lots of personal connections here. Outside connections are needed more.
Health & Safety:
Since campus is in the middle of the city. I do not feel safe walking outside after dark. Thankfully Department of Public Safety is close and willing to walk or drive students.
Campus Housing:
I loved living on campus. flex points are the best perks and sky ways are great as well.
Greek Life:
I wish we had Greek life, the school is just too small.
The school is divided into two groups, athletes and non athletes.
Overall Experience:
The school is very small. I like going here because I do well in school and never get distracted.
Overall Experience:
Augsburg College is what I would tell a lot of people about the experience. Very fulfilling.
Small school environment gives you a feeling of satisfaction and the facilities are small but quite effective.
Health & Safety:
Campus is very safe. Maybe a few spots on the edge of campus are a little sketchy but overall the security with using DPS is very helpful and safe.
Overall Experience:
Getting to know your professors is easy. Small class sizes make it easier to make friends.
Overall Experience:
Advisors definitely help support you in the career field you wanna go into. They help you find a lot of jobs for after graduation.
Campus Housing:
Great place to live other than DPS being strict and residence life holds back opportunities.
It's a great school with a great facility, a little bit of lack of cleanliness.
Overall Experience:
It's a great experience to get to know the professors one on one and the student body is great!
Athletes support each other a lot.
Overall Experience:
great opportunities for integrated learning
Health & Safety:
I know it's harsh to stereotype, but the neighborhood surrounding Augsburg is not considered the safest. It is best for people, especially female-identified individuals, to stay in groups when going off campus, especially over the bridge to the University of Minnesota.
Overall Experience:
My courses are specific to my major, so I'm in classes with all the same people most of the time. Some teachers are great, other teachers are horrible–you just need to know which ones are which. I know of some professors that have been so bad that many drop my major. However, it's just something you need to ask an upper division student. I have had great experiences with teachers, but I have also run into the typical white, privileged, older male teacher that declares his political views as truth. The courses are all right, but I have not had classes which I am extremely excited to take.
Campus Housing:
I live in one of the apartment-style layouts, so it is definitely more spacious. However, the social atmosphere is nonexistent–students pretty much come and go. Additionally, the buildings are pretty old and appliances are prone to breaking. We have had some trouble with black mold growing in our bathroom and the refrigerator breaking as well. The Residence Life office is not open on the weekends, so if you are having any roommate troubles, you are mostly out of luck. However, classes are really close due to the small size of the campus. You can wake up 10 minutes before class and make it on time.
Varsity sports are important at our school, but there seems to be a big dichotomy between athletes and non-athletes. Since I am friends with both athletes and non-athletes, I notice it more often. As my friends like to say, "Augsburg has either athletes or nerds". Games are sparsely attended, with the exception of soccer, wrestling, and sometimes basketball. Most games are attended by parents–this may feel more like a high school than a college. However, for DIII athletics, soccer has been successful as well as wrestling, who are 12-time National Champions. Otherwise, average athletes can play multiple sports. If you are looking for a large sports scene, you may want to choose a bigger public school.

More than 120 jobs looks set to go at a Hamilton meat factory
after Goodman Fielder confirmed the closure of the plant, a
union says.
Workers at the Huttons/Kiwi Bacon factory in Frankton were
called into a meeting at 7am today with Goodman Fielder NZ
managing director, Peter Reidie, where the news was
confirmed, said FIRST Union.
It comes weeks after staff at the factory were warned that
125 jobs could be cut from the facility by the Australasian
food company.
Goodman Fielder announced on January 8 it had agreed to a
proposal to sell its meat business to Hellers.
"There was a combination of disappointment and relief amongst
workers," FIRST Union general secretary Robert Reid said.
"While workers were disappointed to hear the news that the
site would close and they would be make redundant, there was
also relief that after a month of waiting the final decision
had been made."
Mr Reid said the union, which represents 96 of the affected
staff, would work closely with the company and Government
agencies to ensure workers receive full support throughout
the closure and redundancy period.

I believe this is caused because the section I entered is not saved into database. Not only the sections but the quizes themselves are not saved. When I look into the datase structure I cannot see any tables which would indicate that any tables were created on activation.
Please offer a solution.

CD8 molecule is composed of two chains termed alpha and beta. CD8 is found on a T cell subset of normal cytotoxic / suppressor cells which make up approximately 20 to 35 % of human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The CD8 antigen is also detected on natural killer cells, 80% of thymocytes, on a subpopulation of 30% of peripheral blood null cells and 15 to 30% of bone marrow cells. CD38 (T10) is a single chain 46 kDa type II integral glycoprotein with a short N terminal cytoplasmic tail. CD38 is highly expressed on thymocytes. It is also expressed by early cells of B and T lineages, NK cells, plasma cells, monocytes and macrophages and may be detected on cells from multiple myeloma, ALL (B and T) and some AML. In normal lymph nodes and tonsils the antigen is detected mainly on B cells in germinal centers and in plasma cells. The extracellular domain of the molecule shares a high homology sequence with Aplysia ADP ribosyl cyclase. CD38 functions as a multicatalytic ectoenzyme serving as ADP ribosyl cyclase, ADPR hydrolase and possibly NAD+ glycohydrolase, or as a surface receptor.

Hello !
I looked at many forums, site without finding a solution.
For my theme I use for my home page and portfolio page of type "custom post type" that I used to skin This two page!
I created two main pages in wordpress and have associated templates for these pages ("custom post type")
On the other hand, I use wp_title ('') in my header.php and I do not make rewriting.
(I also tested with the rewriting but this has not solved my problem)
For the classic pages, which are not associated with "custom post type", no problem my titles, description and keywords works perfectly.
But these two pages, can not display title description and keywords.
For the title I have to do like this:
<title> <? php if (is_home ()) {echo bloginfo ("name") echo "|" echo bloginfo ("description")} else {echo wp_title ('-', true, 'right') ;}> </ title> but it's not very cool ... but only for display the title .....and title displayed identical in my two page .... and i don't want this...)
My question is how to display title, description and keywords on these two pages using the plugin!
I am Developers, so the code doesn't scare me, but I confess I block ..
I installed wordpress 3.3 and wordpress 1.1.1 SEO
PS: Sorry for my English, I'm French .. :)

I just want to read (and maybe write) UTF-8 data. haskell.org still advertises System.Streams which does not compile with recent ghc:
% runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
Configuring Streams-0.2.1...
runhaskell Setup.lhs build
Preprocessing library Streams-0.2.1...
Building Streams-0.2.1...
[10 of 45] Compiling System.FD ( System/FD.hs, dist/build/System/FD.o )
Couldn't match expected type `GHC.IOBase.FD'
against inferred type `FD'
In the first argument of `fdType', namely `fd'
In a 'do' expression: fd_type <- fdType fd
In the expression:
oflags1 = case mode of
ReadMode -> ...
WriteMode -> ...
ReadWriteMode -> ...
AppendMode -> ...
binary_flags | binary = o_BINARY
| otherwise = 0
oflags = oflags1 .|. binary_flags
do fd <- fdOpen filepath oflags 438
fd_type <- fdType fd
when (mode == WriteMode && fd_type == RegularFile)
$ do fdSetFileSize fd 0
Similar problem with Streams 0.1. I cannot get more recent versions since the official site is down:
% wget http://files.pupeno.com/software/streams/Streams-0.1.7.tar.bz2 --2009-07-30 15:36:14-- http://files.pupeno.com/software/streams/Streams-0.1.7.tar.bz2 Resolving files.pupeno.com... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address `files.pupeno.com'
A better solution? darcs source code?


text: Let $C$ be a curve (smooth projective over a field k) and $p$ a rational point on $C$. Put $\dot{C}=C-\{p\}$. Set $T=Spec R$ where $R$ is a noetherian k-algebra. Let $Y$ be a locally trivial fiber bundle (suppose for etale topology), with smooth affine fibers, over $\dot{C}_T:=\dot{C}\times T$. My question is as follows: can one extend the fiber bundle Y to a flat family over entire relative curve $C_T$?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A powerful winter storm is expected to dump 10 inches or more of snow on parts of Oklahoma on the first day of spring.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning.
Forecasters say between eight and 10 inches of snow is likely on
Saturday from north central Oklahoma to southeast of the Oklahoma
City area.
Officials say the winter storm could make driving hazardous and
disrupt men's and women's NCAA Basketball Tournament games
scheduled this weekend in Oklahoma City and Norman.
Sukie Allison of the Department of Transportation says wet roads
were reported in the Oklahoma Panhandle today as the storm entered
the state. The noontime temperature in the Panhandle city of Guymon
was 37 but reached 74 in Ardmore in southern Oklahoma.

I'm not going lie, it's been a tough summer listening to Seahawks fans run their mouths like they're the greatest thing ever. I can't ever recall a fan base that is so disrespectful and arrogant just because they finally won a championship.
With that said, do you think Seattle will repeat as Champions? I know they lost 9-10 players this offseason, but I'm not sure if they've lost enough for me to be confident they won't win it again. What does the Webzone think?

Hey everyone!
I know I state that I am a new runner, but I am new in the sense that it has recently become a big part of my life. I have run for years, but only here and there. I finished my senior season as a college football offensive lineman about 7 months ago, and I am down about 50 lbs. I have never run a half marathon before, but I will be running one next Sunday and I am more than confident I can finish. I ran 8 miles the other day and did not find it difficult, and I can keep a 4 mile split of 7 minutes. I think I am in good shape for a 220 lbs guy and I am pretty athletic.
However! I really want to run a marathon. It is something that is very important for me to achieve. I know I have the willpower to train and perform at that level, but I am not sure how long it will take me to prepare for that. I only started running a month ago to get to where I am at now. My question is, could I be ready to run a marathon on October 5, 2014? I really want to participate in the Portland marathon, but I don't want to register if I cannot handle it yet.
What do you guys think?
You can finish a Marathon, no doubt about that. I think that you should go slow. Don't rush, you will risk getting yourself injured. You don't want that. Start out with a half marathon or two. The Marathon distance is much harder.
If I were you, I would wait until at least next year, to run the Marathon distance, to ensure that your body is fit for it. When you are able to run 20 miles and have done so for a couple of workouts, you are ready for the Marathon.
if you need motivation and advice on marathon running check out http://borntorunmarathon.com and for half marathon running you could visit http://halvmarathon.net
I cannot second jesperg's "run a few half marathons and wait a year for a full" suggestion enough. Running a full marathon without at least 1,000 miles under your belt in the previous six months is a recipe for injury.
Fat old man PRs:
We may be forgetting that SeanDalton may already be very athletically fit... but I do agree with shippo and jesperg that a solid base of running is necessary for marathon training.
On the other hand, be conscious of the fact that you have a bare 10 weeks or so before your marathon... Assuming that you've been building a base for the prior 8 weeks or so, you are on the dry side of being ready to run 26.2 miles. If you are going to go for it, get your long runs in (20 miler's - try to get two of them into your schedule), and make sure that you taper for the last two weeks. Most importantly, arrive healthy and injury free at the starting line.
Another thought for you: in consideration of the training effort and investment of your time, consider running a marathon either later in the fall/winter or even that same marathon next year. Train for it with vigor and have fun running it. There is nothing worse that having a crappy marathon.
good luck!

John Flanagan: All people experience some degree of fear about change. Most people want a sense of security and control. We also prefer to follow our own script, so that the course of our life will be suitable to our desires and whims. But hold on! How can we look at it this way? After all, history is dynamic, not static. Changes are inevitable, unpredictable at times, and have a tendency to change our plans for better or worse. A serious accident, an illness, loss of a job, a relationship fractured and lost? On the other hand, the good news comes as well; a wonderful spouse, loving children, a great job, friends, enough money to live well......what is missing here?
The article brings up the fear of change in our lives, but excludes any mention of the most essential factor to consider. The role of faith in God is the primary consideration. Without apology or ambiguity, one must give God the honor and praise, as He is our creator. If we have nothing to consider except our feeble fears, our own unfulfilled ambitions, some discomfort, and eventual death, then we are a pathetic soul indeed. For millions of ordinary people, as well as some famous, the value of our Christian faith and the grace of God is a real and tangible force, and a powerful counterbalance to any fears this life can devise.
