Department of Anthropology, SUNY Geneseo
Fall 2015

Teaching Assistant: Angus McCrumb, email@example.com
Cultural anthropology is the study of humans, particularly the many ways people around the world today and throughout human history have organized themselves to live together. Due to increases in global flows of people, products and ideas we are increasingly encountering the world's diversity in our own communities. The study of cultural anthropology helps us develop the skills we need for engaging and navigating the multicultural, global and continually changing world in which we live. In this class we will learn about the theories and tools that anthropologists use to study human behavior and diversity. We will examine the cultural, social, economic and political structures that shape human behavior and identity, including social constructions of race, ethnicity, gender and class. We will also address the issues and opportunities that come with globalization and modernization, including social inequality and global health disparities. Finally, we will learn the ways anthropologists use their tools to address local and global challenges.
Learning Outcomes
regard to learning the diverse beliefs, practices and challenges facing living people in a global context, through examinations, in-class writing assignments, and class discussions and debates.
ideas and arguments surrounding themes and issues in cultural anthropology, through in-class writing assignments, class discussions and debates, and a final paper.
as the ability to reflect on their civic, personal, and professional lives through in-class writing assignments and a final paper.
A Participatory Learning Environment
This course deals with extremely sensitive topics and material. Please be respectful of your classmates -- listen with interest and be open to ideas and opinions that may differ from your own. Treat your classmates just as you would like to be treated in classroom discussions and outside the classroom as well. This class should be a comfortable and open environment for you to learn, so please contribute to that environment.
Although this course already has objectives and a structure, I encourage your input on its direction. Please email me if you have any particular topic you are interested in learning more about, an assignment or project not listed in the syllabus that you would be interested in doing (to replace one already listed), etc. I will do my best to accommodate student requests, but cannot guarantee that I will be able to fulfill all of them.______________________________

This is a discussion on Shoulder Holster for 1911? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I am just toying with the idea of getting a shoulder rigg for my remington r1. They seem nice and I like the idea of ...
I am just toying with the idea of getting a shoulder rigg for my remington r1. They seem nice and I like the idea of having an extra holder for a spare mag. I have do not know much about carrying a shoulder rigg. One thing I do know is that it would only be worn while in the woods while hunting or (maybe) under my long wool coat in the winter. As of now I DO NOT carry my r1 as a ccw firearm, I use a glock 26 for that. But it would be nice to be able to utilize the r1 from time to time. Right now I use a leather holster with a leather mag holster and keep it on a nylon 5.11 belt that I can just throw around my waist. I found that the gun is just too heavy for me on the belt I use to keep my pants up. Anyways, just thought I would ask. Looking for any and all advice in regards to a shoulder rigg. Thanks!

Thanks for the help, patri0t. I like the website because most of the products are at a lower price. I would like the Galco Light but I forgot to mention the one thing I do want on the shoulder rig is that I want it to be a vertical drop. I know to many people it may not be a worry but I just don't like the barrel pointed at someone behind me. My dad always taught me the gun is to be point to ground unless its pointed down range.
You need to look into the Galco Miami Classic II comes brown or black. would be nice if you have a local store with one in stock to try on before you spend the money.
I have one for my 1911 and when wearing a jacket its really nice. You need to get the Galco lube and break it in so you can get a smooth draw.
DeSantis also makes one called the New York undercover. Its pretty nice.
Once you get one you will need your wife or buddy to help you adjust it so it fits you proper. It will take some time to get it all adjusted to your body.
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

I carry my McCormick Commander in a Galco Miami Classic that I've had for nearly twenty years. I did replace the mag holster, but eveything else is original. Personally, I like a shoulder rig.
I like the Galco's I like the vertical drop. I may start another thread. I highly appreciate the advice but I have been noticing that the vertical drops show down by the belt line. I am wondering if it would be easier to just use a inside the waist band holster I apperciate the advice but wonder if I would be better off just doing that.
Just be aware of the fact that when you initially start wearing a shoulder holster with any full size full weight firearm you will be putting some downward pressure and weight on an area of your body that is not accustomed to that. Even if you are in great physical condition.
So you might end up with a painful shoulder at first. But, that disappears after your body acclimates to it. It usually takes a couple of weeks especially if you are wearing a shoulder rig for many hours straight.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
I just came home after an eight hour trip to the "Cities." Driving time was two hours. The rest of the time I was on my feet and walking several miles. The whole time I was wearing a 5"1911 in a Miami Classic (horizontal carry). It was very comfortable, very concealable, and it is relatively easy to present the pistol should the occasion call for one to draw his/her pistol. I am a big fan of shoulder holsters. I think Galco makes a vertical carry for their Miami Classics.
Ill keep that in mind Goldy49. sounds like an excellent holster to have for car rides.
Miami classic II is the one I would reccomend. I own one and carry a 1911 Officer model all day.

Ross Leather also makes a nice shoulder holster. Shoulder Rigs - Horizontal Rigs - Vertical Rigs - Buy from Ross Leather Online
Diamond D custom leather make some fine shoulder holsters. The tanker or guides choice.
Check out E-Bay. I bought a nice nylon/cord one from there coupla years ago and it still works well for me in the winter with a coat. I think it was under $30 then. I carry a full size 1911 Rock Island Tac.

This is a GREAT plugin. Is there a tutorial for developing skins for it or a skins template set?
This is a GREAT plugin. Is there a tutorial for developing skins for it or a skins template set?
I agree, I've been wanting to make the image title appear as each image is displayed both in static and slide show states. None of the currently available templates do this. The only way to view the title / description at present is by hovering or clicking over an 'i' icon which is inappropriate for my purposes. Would be useful to have some guidance on how to create new skins or modify existing ones.
Try Afflux skin.
Hi Rattus,
Thanks for the response.
In the flash version for the Afflux screen there is no full screen button and the available display modes for 'Fit' or 'Fill' do not make it full screen. Additionally the title, description and all the Exif data appear taking up half the window for a few seconds. I'd prefer just the title to appear permantly visible either at the top or bottom and the description available at the viewers request either by hovering or a button.
The skin only has a toggle to show the description but this actually means the the entire title, description and metadata or nothing.
For the Iphone at least there appears to be only two options regardless of the selected skin:
Photoswipe: When viewed on the iphone the titles/description are not immediately visible unless a button is clicked are clicked and then they overlaid as a long string with all the HTML code/symbols too which seems like a bug to me.
This shows a smaller window taking up about a third of the full screen with the title, description and metadata are permanently visible overlaid taking up the lower half of the image.
On the positive side, I prefer the overall appearance of the Photo Gallery Pro skin as it maximizes the image both within the container and the fullscreen, the thumbnails and FS / SL controls are by hovering over the non-intrusive button, yet still this has no option for titles.
I've had FLAGallery installed on my site of over six months now, I'd very much want a decent skin which provides my viewers with unobtrusive titles to explain my images on all devices, but at the same time uses all the available space on the device to view and navigate the images.
My only other option is to start from scratch - I've been looking at TN3 and NextGen but whilst Flash still currently seems to produced the best Windows PC fullscreen options, TN3 at least appears to have a much better focus and options for non-flash mobile devices.
I honestly never thought trying to fullfil such a basic request would take up so much of my time in the last two weeks, uploading / relouading photos testing different options, trying different plugins. I'm otherwise more than happy with FLA Gallery but it's missing a true fullscreen slideshow / gallery with title options, and the non-flash options seem more of a late addon and need further development.
I'd be truely grateful for any other advice on how I can achieve this objective - am i missing something simple?
Thanks in advance.

Com Dev CEO: Commercial Satellite Order Slump Will Not Last Long
[Satellite News 04-13-12] Canadian satellite component manufacturer Com Dev continued its streak of profit growth in its 2012 first-quarter, as earnings soared to $3.6 million despite a six percent drop in revenue to $47.2 million, according to its latest financial results issued April 13.
Com Dev CEO Mike Pley said that while the Canadian federal government's recent decision to trim the budget of the Canadian Space Agency by 10 percent was expected to impact its business, an increasing momentum in the commercial satellite telecommunications market would more than offset any losses.
"We do relatively little business with the Canadian government, so we will not suffer that much," Pley said on a conference call. "Less than $12 million of Com Dev's backlog of $125 million is with the Canadian government. Com Dev is somewhat unique among the world's space companies in that our success is, and has been, largely independent of our domestic government."
Com Dev did reduce its staff in 2011 in anticipation of a reduced Canadian space budget. The company's domestic space industry competitors, such as MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA), have already said they will have to lay off staff. Pley, however, said there was no indication that Com Dev would conduct any further layoffs at its space hardware and services facilities. Com Dev total workforce stood at 1,224 employers at the end of 2011, representing a decrease of about 5 percent from the end of 2010.
The 2012 first quarter was not a busy period for commercial satellite orders. According to Com Dev, only eight telecommunications satellites – four commercial, two civil government and two military – were ordered during the period. The first period of 2011 generated 10 satellite orders worldwide.
"Our strength is based on our ability to win business from satellite prime contractors in competitive procurements," said Pley. "Our civil-government business is clearly profiting, as emerging-market nations now opt to launch their own telecommunications satellites. We have already received contracts for work on four of the eight satellites ordered in the quarter and we are competing for contracts on the other four."
Com Dev booked about $45 million in new orders during the 2012 first quarter – a decrease of 24 percent compared to the same period last year. Com Dev CFO Gary Calhoun said the company should be able to sustain higher margins now that it has almost completed five program orders under fixed-price contracts for the Canadian government. "Four of the five programs have been completed, and the fifth should be finished by this summer. The final program's costs appear to have stabilized, but until that puppy is out the door, there's always a chance of cost growth on it," said Calhoun.
Pley said he did not see a recent lull in the commercial telecommunications satellite business as a signal of a sustained market slump. "We are seeing signs in the coming months that should lead to a surge in new telecommunications satellite orders – if not this quarter then in the next quarter," said Pley. "I don't think I've ever seen our engineering and sales staff quite as busy in terms of the pipeline of work."
Com Dev's strong 2012 first quarter follows a steady year of growth in 2011, when the company earned $5.1 million in profit and $49.9 million in revenue in its 2011 fourth-quarter, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million on $51.5 million in revenue during the same period last year.
Com Dev ended 2011 with a profit of $13.6 million – a considerable increase from the $2.7 million in profits it reported at the end of 2010. "I am pleased with the progress we made during the year, but we still have work to do to reach the level of sustainable profitability this organization is capable of delivering," Pley said in a statement issued with the 2011 full-year results. "A slowdown in orders in the civil space sector contributed to reduced revenues, but we have taken steps to properly size the business and focus our efforts on available opportunities."

Scientists from an international conservation body concluded a five-day meeting Friday during which they examined data to determine whether eel species including the Japanese eel should be listed as endangered.
The scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), which comprises government and non-government bodies from around the world, have not made their draft evaluations public.
The IUCN is expected to hear views from experts outside the group and hold further discussions at a freshwater fish specialist group before finalizing their decisions. The findings are expected to be released as early as this fall.

Your stuff is unique. It could be a different size, shape or volume than what can be found anywhere else. That's the reason we offer so many different storage solutions - not a one-size-fits-all option. Our storage recommendations will be custom for your business and utilize a variety of storage product lines designed to store your stuff in an organized and secure manner.
High Density Mobile StorageHigh density storage provides a great way to maximize floor space. This mobile storage option simplifies your storage by putting more items into each available square foot of space. We offer several options (including both powered and mechanical assist systems), so you can use your space as efficiently as possible without having to part with any of your stuff.
Static ShelvingStatic shelving is a storage solution designed to store all kinds of stuff. We have everything from traditional four-post shelving to wide span and FrameWRX bin shelving. Other static shelving choices include cantilever shelving, library shelving, case style shelving, as well as museum storage, art storage and pharmacy storage options.
Mail Center FurnitureA mail center has very specific storage needs, and we've got them covered. We'll help you stay organized as you sort incoming and outgoing mail and packages. But don't be fooled by the name. These heavy-duty work consoles and sort modules can also be used in many places besides the mailroom to sort documents or work on literature fulfillment projects.
Modular CaseworkWhether you're setting up a lab, classroom or office, our modular casework is a perfect fit. We have tall cabinets, storage cabinets, wall cabinets and more to help you create a custom space that can be changed easily to grow with you. Our modular casework is available in powder-coated steel, stainless steel or laminate to meet your aesthetic and functional needs.
Automated Retrieval SystemsFor locations with high ceilings, automated retrieval systems can make the most use out of the available vertical space. Just about anything, from files to pathology slides to small parts to bulk items, can be stored vertically with the right system. Our automated retrieval systems will bring you exactly what you need at the touch of a button and store it up-and-out of sight when not in use.
CabinetsNo matter what you have to store, chances are there's a cabinet to keep it protected and organized. We have cabinets for everything from museum artifacts to evidence to patient supplies. If you need to ensure your stuff is fully protected, consider fireproof cabinets.
LockersWhether they're storing book bags or evidence, lockers are a durable and convenient storage option. Lockers are a great fit for athletic facilities, schools and law enforcement agencies, but they can be used just about anywhere for employee personal storage. We offer a range of storage locker options, including evidence lockers, refrigerated models, steel lockers and laminate options.
Weapons and Gear StorageKeeping weapons and the associated gear stored will not only protect these items but also the people who work around them. Our adaptable weapon storage systems ensure that your weapons are stored within easy reach and stored securely. Our products include wall-mounted gun lockers, personal weapons storage, TA-50 Lockers, and Universal Weapons Racks, including models durable enough for law enforcement and military use.
CartsWhen your stuff needs to be ready to roll at all times or just needs to be moved from place to place, then carts are the right solution. We have medical carts, crash carts, WRX wheels bin carts, mail carts and other carts to serve almost any industry. Our carts keep your stuff stored well and accessible at the same time.
If you have a stuff problem, the right products are just the first step toward a solution. We also have the right people to help you figure out the best ways to use those products. Contact Patterson Pope today to learn more about how we can solve the problems stuff creates.
At Patterson Pope, we've found that there is not a "one-application-fits-all" storage solution in the real world. What works for a facilities manager doesn't work for an equipment manager, or a librarian, or a nurse, or a curator, or a policeman. With that reason in mind, we have developed the right solutions to address all of the unique challenges in these different industries:
Commercial Business Storage
Look around the office and there is probably some type of stuff to be stored. Files, supplies, binders, blue prints, mail, these things eat up space and get disorganized. Not to worry. Whatever the media or the department, we have a customized storage solution to solve any problem – from Movable Shelving to Rotary Storage to Modular Casework to Mail Furniture.
Industrial Storage
It's a reality. In those heavy-duty storage areas, stuff comes in all different shapes and sizes – from small parts and SKUs to palletized bulk material and anything in between. That is why we design industrial storage solutions that can handle whatever materials you've got to store, keep them accessible and store them in less space. Mobilized Rack, Vertical Lifts and Carousels and Modular Drawer Cabinets can handle the load.
Healthcare Storage
Healthcare professionals face real storage problems every day. Whether it's storing sterile surgical packs and critical supplies in the operating room, increasing the amount of patient care supplies stored right in the patient room, or storing bulk items in central supply – we have the prescription for healthcare storage needs. From Compact Shelving to Stainless Steel Cabinets to Medical Carts, our solutions are specifically designed to help improve access to supplies and increase efficiency.
Athletics Storage
Play ball! You worry about the X's and O's, and we'll worry about the storage. With High Density Shelving, Racks, Lockers and Cabinets, we have the playbook for victory in the equipment room. When it comes to gear, helmets and pads, bats, balls, sticks, uniforms, shoes, medical supplies and hundreds or thousands of game tapes and records, you can count on our athletic storage systems.
Education Storage
When it comes to K-12 to College and University storage, we have the solutions that make the grade. Today's education storage needs are changing. More class options and more students have led to a growing need to make better use of available space. From the Registrar's Office to the Library, the Athletic Department to Campus Security, Mail Services to Maintenance, Food Services to Campus Museums and Art Galleries, we offer creative ways to store more stuff in existing space – all while keeping it organized and accessible.
Library Storage
Similar to the changes faced in education, library storage needs are also evolving. Libraries are transforming from simple books and media stored in rows and rows of library stacks and cabinets to multifunctional learning centers and community gathering places. From Mobile Library Shelving on-site to Mobile High Bay Shelving off-site, we can help preserve and protect a variety of media, collections, journals and books. House more stuff in less space, ensure user safety and access and have room left over for computer labs and coffee shops.
Government Storage
City and County Government agencies, the Postal Service, and the FBI all have something in common. They are all tasked with doing more with less. Our government storage solutions can help accomplish that goal. From High Density Filing, to Vertical Carousels to Military Lockers and Weapon Racks, now you can store your stuff in less space, keep it protected and organized, and save money.
Museum Storage
From High-density Storage to Museum Cabinets to Wide Span Shelving and Flat Files, we'll help you store and protect your valuable collections. As more years pass, there is more history to preserve. Saving floor space, access to materials and control over artifacts have become key elements to our museum storage solutions.
Military Storage
Specifically designed to ensure your weapons, optics, supplies, equipment, and records are stowed in a tidy manner, our military storage solutions are up to the task. Weapon Storage Racks, Mobile Shelving, Static Shelving and Lockers are some of the ways we make sure your gear is protected and portable.
Public Safety Storage
Law enforcement agencies, crime labs, courthouses, correctional institutions and fire departments all share a critical element: storage. But the vast array of storage challenges for any aspect of public safety ends here. From an Evidence Locker to Personal Storage Lockers, from Gun lockers to Casework, and from Fire Hose Rack to High-density Shelving, our public safety storage systems are specifically designed to protect the integrity of evidence, ensure weapons and gear are ready and secure, speed access to case files and court records and increase storage efficiency and security.
While each industry and application are unique, the problems have a lot in common – and we have developed the right storage solutions to solve any stuff problem.

Skip to comments.Women taking over/ the downfall of America?
Posted on 05/12/2012 8:48:49 AM PDT by fabian
There are some that believe the downfall of our once great and free nation is largely due to the proliferation of women in positions of power which were only religated to men in days of old. These women supposedly are allowing for the all manner of the evil to take place.
My answer to that is, to discuss women's role in the very real and almost complete socialist takeover of our country, minus the man's role in allowing that to happen, is really the real reason we are losing so much of the battle! It is a man's inflated ego once again putting the blame on women's emotions, rather than blaming himself for not being the leader that he was born to be.
Yes, many men are raised with parents who themselves have problems, so they grow up inadequate leaders very often. But there are plenty of those types of men that still do not bail out on their families and leave the women to entirely raise the fragile souls of the children. The numbers of this happening are huge, and with that comes the majority of prison inmates coming from those emotional homes where the father was absent!
How on earth can anyone in their right mind not lay the blame on this huge issue squarely on the man? Yes, women do tend to be more emotional and do vote for liberal candidates more than men. I know that is why the founders did not include them in voting when they set up the nation. However, the men are primarily at fault here for being so cowardly and misusing their women and being so very needy of the women's comfort and ego support. With more bold and moral men, we would have a lot more Sarah Palin types of women who vote rightly!
Men, stop being irritated and blaming the women for our downfall and go to www.copingstrategiescd.com and get a hold of your conscience. Then we will become a free nation once again. And it will happen, with a lot of help from above!
I have always been impressed with the number of women involved in the secure borders movement.
Their determination and grit that provides the constant burr under the politician's saddle that slows and sometimes deters the political worms tendency to willingly trade our Nation's sovereignty away is a constant source of amazement to me.
I'm thankful for their efforts and say God bless them all.
Liberals in positions of power is like a twelve pack of beer and a chain saw,what could go wrong.
but we have to go to jail with all the single black fathers to do so. Our society has failed and not worth butt bugery for. Wife over knee getting whipped = jail. Sorry, no marriage here. .
My Granny always said "The hand the rocks the cradle rules the world".
She was correct.
It is not women who are the downfall but the @*^# Libs!
Problem is the lib women have drank the poison cool-aid and that is part of what is destroying America. Part of drinking that cool-aid means that they have forgotten how to "rock the cradle".
*(she was my very favorite Mouseketeer)
"Yes, many men are raised with parents who themselves have problems, so they grow up inadequate leaders very often."
Like wow man that's pretty heavy stuff.
This is a wtf moment here. So.... many women weren't raised with parents who themselves have problems, so they didn't grow up inadequate? omg?? I guess we're never supposed to question anything, just accept it?? Yeah right!!!
Glad you qualified that as liberals. Women as voters, are more damaging than women as bosses I think.
Best bosses I've had, have been women.
The late great America was when moms actually stayed home and raised the family...
Ever since the late 1960s, it's been downhill for the U.S. in many aspects.
The most nasty, heated political arguments I have in 2012 are all with men.
"Female dominance as such is completely dependent upon men agreeing to allow it, for one, and chemically dependent upon birth control for another.
Take those away, the tacit agreement of men to permit it as well as contaception, and there will be no dominance. Its largely an illusion of our own making."
Yes, and this is my main point! It is indeed the man's weakness that is the issue here.
Of course both men and women have issues that compells them to act in wrong ways for our nation, but men are the natural leaders.
I meant morally stronger and not needy of the women's body. Decent women love that in their men!
The Fabian Society was not named after one person. It was a large, international front for socialism with links to communism that purposely infiltrated not only Europe, but also the FDR administration and continues to this day through various front groups. You need to know this history so you do not continue to embarrass yourself with comments on FR trying to link positive political ideas to the Fabian name, which is unfortunate. It's like being named "Lewinsky."
Why do I keep seeing this coping strategies website mentioned in posts?
Well, ok. I was only halfway serious. I do know the name is connected to the socialist movement but i do not really care. I care about stopping them!
a marriage counseler told me men get married for two reasons, companionship and sex. Deal with it.
Yes indeed. Women who are conservative have a big big influence in helping to turn us around.
I had this discussion with a left wing woman once, just to mess with her head (and it worked....a little too well).
My point was that women shouldn't have the right to vote because then they wouldn't have equal power - they'd have TOO MUCH power, vastly more than men. The reason being that there will always be a certain percentage of men who are weak and will allow themselves to be led around by the nose by a woman, even in the most brutal, manly times. We all know this type of men - the quintessential "beta" man, the kind of guy who follows around the girl he fancies for months or even years hoping that, if he does enough things for her or kisses her rear end enough, she'll eventually like him and maybe he'll get some, maybe she'll even marry him.
This weak percentage of men are prone to being influenced by the woman, to caving to her demands, even accepting her reasoning as his own. If she tells him to vote for such-and-such, he votes for such-and-such. Proof of this concept can be found in the fact that women got the vote at all. Given that only men had the vote at the time women's suffrage was voted on, that means that men put it in place, demonstrating that women had quite the influence on these male voters even when women, themselves, did not have the vote. Now, add to that women having the vote, and you'll have a huge voting bloc of women and weak men. This voting bloc is the core of the left-wing agenda in this country.
Women invariably prefer security over freedom, and they support this on an emotional level. It is rare that one can have a truly intellectual conversation about politics with a woman, especially a left-wing one, because it always comes down to an emotional state which cannot be reasoned with. For example, if one says that the welfare state is immoral and should be ended, the women say "You just don't care about the children/the sick/the elderly! etc." and no amount of logic can dent the belief that you're just a mean, mean person who hates everybody. And you're just an oppressive patriarch. And you hate women. And you're just a sexist racist homophobic right-winger full of hate.
So, given the propensity of women to vote for oppressive nanny states, and given their inordinate influence over the minds of weak men, the only way to prevent the inevitable degradation of one's society into a totalitarian hellhole is to keep at least a reasonable limit on the political power of women. Returning to a time when only men voted is impossible now, barring a full revolution and rebuilding of our government, so my suggestion would be to focus on the other original aspect of the Constitutional franchise limitation, which was that voters be property owners. We could modify that to where voters must be net taxpayers. This would eliminate all of the welfare leeches, including the single welfare moms.
Well sure. But that needs to evolve into no need at all, and a more strong and great relationship. Afterall, if a man or woman is complete within by God, there no longer is any need, only love.
I don't know if I am a lady or not, but I do have to say ... now that I have been working in a factory for a couple of years I have to wonder "Who raised these kids ...?"
So many unmarried gals having so many babies ... guys having two girlfriends preggers at the same time ... affairs, divorce, abuse, drugs, drunkenness ... guys more committed to sports teams than the mothers of their children ... gals trying to support a family on one $9 an hour income ... guys avoiding child support at all costs ...
These are 20-somethings. What happened to my generation and our parents to raise such weaklings?
You betcha. Read an article from the Chicago School of Business which factually shows it happening at the very beginning of passage.
Women tend to act on emotion rather than fact. They don't need to be in positions of control. I love them (my mother is one),but they don't think right in some tense situations
Women can only dominate where upper body strength is irrelevantthat's a biological fact!
You could have left off the upper body part of that and been correct.
"They dont need to be in positions of control"...why don't you tell that to Sarah Palin types and the millions of women small business owners who do an admirable job.
You are falling into the trap of generalizing, when indeed women have bee nforced to have higher position simply out of the need to make a good living often.
It has always something of a maxim for me that, in any given society, women have only as much power as men allow them to have.
That could be argued in reverse. Women control this world covertly. They have most of the money and all of the most cherished commodity to males. They just leave it up to us to run things
Yes, women's emotions get them in trouble. And the men soon follow.
An absolute fact
The book of Isaiah was written almost 3000 years ago, so it's nothing new.
3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Sounds a lot like now, as the school systems and CPS try to put children in charge of their parents. And, part of the Strong's Concordance definition of the word "women" in this verse is "adulteress", so we're talking unseemly women. I'm guessing more like the Pelosi/Hillary types, not the Thatcher/Meir types.
Oh I agree with you on the woman boss...I've got one who is late 30s...gorgeous and works at staying that way...super smart, hard working, fun, nice. She gets an A++++ from me and I've been a boss myself most of my life. Her people skills are a standout.
But I should say that this is the tax accounting dept of a Fortune 500 company. Another industry could be another matter entirely.
You missed a word.
That's ridiculous. You know the wrong women.
Yes, it is the men that are the problem really. If they were were just halfway strong with the ladies then we would be much more in God's order of happiness. The women are filling a very real void and any discussion of or blaming of women without including this is indeed misogynistic and hurting the conservative cause.
That's ridiculous. You know the wrong women.
It is ridiculous. But you aren't acknowledging the number of wrong women around today, or the social constructs designed solely to make as many wrong women as possible.
Women have been taught to hate womenhood in the name of being a strong woman, and define the self-crushing of their femininity, hatred of men, and absolute codependence upon Leftist-led female obedience groups as the achievement of female liberation.
The fundamental insanity of this has made them fundamentally insane - by the tens of millions.
Women are the fault-—hate to agree-—it is the radical Feminists along with the radical homosexuals who have forced God out of the country and allowed Marxist/Communist/"progressives' to mold the minds of the useful idiots in the government schools.
This Cultural Marxism evolution of thinking could never have happened if women wouldn't have allowed the state to control the worldview of their young children-—Didn't happen prior to the 60's.
Of course, men created the unconstitutional laws which helped force women away from young children and the welfare mentality to destroy family unity, and allowed evil Marxists to write all the curricula with their sick biases (Zinn, Ruggs, Counts) to warp the reality and twist history to make lies, facts.
But mammals in the animal world—non rational ones-—would never allow strangers to even get near their young. They would kill anyone trying to remove them from their young. Women used to understand that rational thinking shouldn't be "molded" by any godless people who didn't give a damn about how your child would grow up. Only family members were in charge of young children until age 7 or 8—and some like Lincoln went to school his entire life for only a month or so.
The Prussian system was set up to "socialize" the children into group think—mass conformity-—to make useful idiots. JS Mill stated, and he was correct—that government schools are only to make slaves for the state.
Good post (in a thread full of bad ones).
One of the reasons that The West is in decline, while Islam is ascendant, is that The West has become "feminized", whereas Islam has not.
And if this trend is not reversed...?
Yes, well what you mentioned is indeed needing the comfort of a woman. If she is making decisions for a man, it is like having another mom and not a girlfriend or wife. I know that creates a horrible resentment in many women.
You sound very logical. Single? : )
So people don't throw their PCs through their flatscreen TVs?
I understand - In a military class, why women should/shouldn't be in combat came up. I torqued some jaws with the survival of the race deal - few women and any number of men = few babies/many women and any number of men = lots of babies and repopagation of the race.
Umm no. Sexual intimacy strengthens marriage even in old age. Conservative and religious women absolutely love sex and want more in their marriage. One reason why there is so much divorce...lack of intimacy in marriage. Much of it by men who stopped getting physical with their wives and ignore them.
Every survey of women of all ages is they want more passion and intimacy in their marriage.
You tell prospective women about your views and they will run like the wind...and that is why I suspect you are still single at age 50.
Well, any really conservative woman loves a man that lets go of his own pleasures for more of the spiritual love. One displaces the other if we are moving towards God. That is just a fact.
You are missing the point. Woman want the sex as much as the men. You can be conservative and religious and love sex as a matter of fact conservative/religious men and women have the highest amount of sex and satisfaction from sex of all classes of people. God wants people to have satisfying sex lives at all ages. Couples are still having sex in their 60's/70's and 80's on a regular basis.
No wonder you are still unmarried at age 50. SRS any woman that reads what you are typing and they are going to run like the wind. Where you get this crap that woman don't want sex is beyond me....something in your past damaged or skewered your views or have some wacky cult message.
1. Let's talk about black voting patterns - 90% Democrat. Women are far more fragmented by factors such as religion, income, marital status, etc.
2. Let's talk about what elimination of females is doing to China.
Yes indeed. I believe it is pure misogyny to blame the downfall of America on women..liberal or not!

Rotavirus vaccine trialled at Dunedin Hospital could save
more than half a million lives a year.
The University of Otago trial, involving 95 babies, found a
course of the new vaccine produced a strong immune response
in more than 90% of babies.
This was a major breakthrough because Rotavirus, as the most
common cause of severe diarrhoea among infants and young
children, kills more than 500,000 children aged under 5 every
year, mainly in developing countries.
As part of the trial, which was a collaboration with the
Murdoch Childrens Research Institute at the University of
Melbourne, babies received three doses of the vaccine, with
the first dose given soon after birth.
Otago University senior clinical lecturer in women and
children's health, Dr Pam Jackson, said it was ''pretty
cool'' being involved in research that could save so many
Developed in Melbourne, the oral vaccine was tested in
Dunedin because one of the Melbourne researchers was an Otago
graduate and, by the time it was ready for testing, another
vaccine had been rolled out in Australia, Dr Jackson said.
The new vaccine had significant benefits over the present
one, as it could be given to newborns.
This not only gave ''early protection'' but also meant it
would be easier to implement in poorer countries.
''In Third World countries, often ... people don't have any
contact with medical professional or healthcare
professionals, but they might at the time of delivery of the
The fact it was developed by university researchers would
also make it ''much'' cheaper than if it had been developed
by a pharmaceutical company.
She wanted to thank families for their participation, and the
Health Research Council of New Zealand, which funded the
''Without their willingness to help, this would have been
difficult to assess, and we are delighted that this vaccine
has been shown to be an effective way to prevent this
Lead researcher Prof Julie Bines, of Melbourne, said the
results provided confidence the vaccine would be effective.
''Not only have we shown that this novel vaccine is well
tolerated in newborns, but it produces a strong immune
response in a newborn, suggestive of promoting early
protection from severe gastroenteritis,'' she said.
The results will be presented at the 11th International
Rotavirus Symposium under way in New Delhi, India.
Clinical trials had also begun in Indonesia and it was hoped
the vaccine would be available for widespread use in 2016.
In New Zealand, Rotavirus is responsible for 1500 hospital
admissions of children under 5 each year.

I need to do a redirects via cpanel . I did it early and it messed up my permalinks.
I managed to put it right by doing the magic buttons again
I need to go back to my Cpanel on my web host and do this redirect again.
what steps do I need to take when something on my httacces is gonna change, like now with the redirects? do I need to first activate the default mode on BP and go back to Cpanel and do the redirect and then activate security mode or shall I just do the magic buttons again after doing the redirect without activating the default mode ?
what's the correct procedure?

We've rounded up some of the best stories of the day featuring news items on Leonardo DiCaprio, Jared Fogle, Brandi Glanviille and more.
Who run the world?
The Girls are back. …
Hilary Duff no longer has a mermaid blue 'do nor a posy pink one. She's gone and stripped out all the color and is now an ash gray.
Zoë Kravitz has moved out of her famous parents' shadow and made her way into the spotlight as one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood… But that beauty was something the actress really struggled to see in herself, battling eating disorders from a very young age.
Zosia Mamet just dyed her hair!
The Girls actress went from brunette to blonde earlier this year, and now she just went from blonde to gray! Check out the photo below to see Mamet's new hair! …
They're girls gone… responsible?
The official trailer for the fourth season of Girls is finally here and the gang are venturing out into the scary "real world" this time. In the freshly-released clip, Hannah (Lena Dunham) learns to love healthy fruit snacks while Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) tries to find a job. Adulthood!
Lena Dunham is not the only one having troubles dealing with life: her character on Girls is also stumbling into problems of her own.
In a new behind-the-scenes look at the popular HBO series, showrunner Dunham explains that "this season of Girls is [about] the girls making smarter choices and realizing that life is…
All eyes (pun intended) were on the cast of I Origins on Thursday night as the film held its New York premiere.
The Mike Cahill film is his first since 2011's breathtaking Another Earth. I Origins tells the story of a molecular biologist (Michael Pitt) who, along with another science whiz (Brit Marling),…
It's been a busy week in the world of fashion! New York Fashion Week kicked off on February 6th, showcasing Fall 2014 collections by Victoria Beckham, Michael Kors, Rebecca Minkoff and more.
On the day her first Vogue cover hit newsstands, Lena Dunham premiered season three of Girls in London. Before going into the Cineworld Haymarket, Dunham posed for photos with co-stars Allison Williams (in Alexander McQueen) and Zosia Mamet, as well as guest-star Richard E Grant (Clifford from Spice World).
When I started watching HBO's Girls, I hoped and wished it accurately portrayed life as a twenty-something, whether girl or boy. Season 2 has had its highs and lows when it comes to relateability, believability and authenticity. But most of the time, creator (Lena Dunham) drives it home. Sunday was one of those episodes.
HBO's hit series Girls, which was just renewed for a third season, has been characterized as being all-too realistic and I, for one, couldn't agree more.
The four leading ladies of the show echo today's everywoman and offer up a heaping dose of relatable woes on topics ranging from boys to finances.
Whether it's Lena Dunham's sexy hipster ensembles or Allison Williams' preppy-chic looks, the stars of HBO's Girls are some of the most stylish ladies on- and- off-screen these days.
And with Girls' big wins at the Golden Globes and the premiere of its second season last night, its leading ladies are sure to…
TV's top stars strutted their stuff on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards tonight.
While some stars wowed us with their standout style — others stood out for all the wrong reasons.
From sequin overload and overly dramatic draping to florals that fell short, there were some fashion don'ts among…

I just might do that.
sparky, again, thank you for the very informative post, I'm keeping count, you are now at number two.
"But if you aren't too hard on your truck, they may hold up for a little while"
And I am not hard on my stuff, especially when a guy can put a grand into one fairly easy.

I found one for $590 plus tax.
Frank, thank you for the reply.
Another thing, I don't have a IPhone, isn't that what you need for the Traxxas controller?
I still have a7 year old flip up phone:)))))))))))))))))
I like the Losi control better.
I have seen on Youtube where there were a few 3.3 motors braking the rod right at the crank.
I bet Traxxas knows about this and they probably don't want to do any thing about it.
I have yet to read...
I need help deciding.
I like the Losi XXL1/8 scale monster truck, it sells for 670.

Help! Not sure if I screwed up.
I've spent since early 2009 really putting forth effort and money to clean my credit up. I had assistance cleaning up anything that couldn't be validated. Everything else has fallen off and have reestablished good credit with both revolving and installment accounts. There is one last collection company (Portfolio) that has been persistent (not harrassing, just doing their job). I always answer their calls, I'm courteous, and simply explain I have no intention off paying the debt, but will be happy to answer as long as they feel like calling.
So, the other day I answer. The young lady took a slightly different approach than normal and I guess I was in a slightly different mood. After she explained the settlement amount I proceeded to explain the the amount of the settlement is not what was preventing me from settling the account. I honestly explained to her the account no longer reported on any CR and I did not want to provide a new date of last activity by doing the right thing, settling the account, and then have it show up on my credit report(s). She explained that it should not be reported if they are not currently reporting the TL. I explained that is what I understand to be true, but I got burned a couple of years ago in the same situation where an account that had just dropped off, I did the right thing and paid anyhow, and it showed back up as a paid collection. It took me the better part of a year to have it removed. I spoke with her supervisor who explained that agency was not within the law to do that and assured me if they weren't reporting (then confirmed they weren't, which I knew) that it would not report because I settled. I felt they were being honest, seemed to have an understanding of the Fair Credit Act, so I paid the settlement amount. My stomach has been in knots since then...
Did I screw up?

Those involved in this could really use a lesson in editing. There are two orgy scenes here, though lots of time is wasted on the girls talking. They're shown off like show horses with parts groped and rated, the girls doing a solo and dance-off while others look on, and each orgy ends with participants asked to rate each other on a scale of one to ten. 10 we say time suck?
Despite all that, once the fucking is finally underway, the sex is hot, energetic and frenzied, though the girls become indiscernible from each other as the camera moves quickly from coupling to coupling. The air in the house is filled with moans, squeals and yells as holes are filled with some impressively-sized meat.

Pretty sure the local weather services in the countries have government officials posted on what is happening. Im sure they give them a heads up on when warnings should be posted. Although I dont doubt at all that all these agencies communicate with each other, including the NHC.

It took lot of time and was scary when it wiped of my posts. But finally it works great. Couple of hints:
* Make sure you take the backup of site
* Get the latest version of the plugin
* Try simple test page without selecting any options like 'convert related pages to wiki' etc
It should work. I have been looking this kind of plugin for a while. Functionality - all basic things work great! I hope it will catchup.
