Gay sexual practices are sexual activities involving men who have sex with men (MSM), regardless of their sexual orientation or sexual identity. The authors of the Kinsey Reports state that 37% of their male subjects had at least one homosexual experience.[1] Evidence shows that sex between men is significantly underreported in surveys due to social desirability bias.[2][3]
Historically, anal sex has been popularly associated with male homosexuality and MSM. Many MSM, however, do not engage in anal sex, and may engage in oral sex, frottage or frot, or mutual masturbation instead.[4][5][6][7] MSM may also engage in different forms of oral sex, such as fellatio, tea bagging, and anilingus. Wellings et al. reported that "the equation of 'homosexual' with 'anal' sex among men is common among lay and health professionals alike," whereas an online survey of 18,000 MSM in Europe "showed that oral sex was most commonly practised, followed by mutual masturbation, with anal intercourse in third place."[4] A 2011 survey by The Journal of Sexual Medicine found similar results for U.S. gay and bisexual men. Kissing a partner on the mouth (74.5%), oral sex (72.7%), and partnered masturbation (68.4%) were the three most common behaviors, with 63.2% of the sample self-reporting five to nine different sexual behaviors during their last encounter.[8]
Among men who have anal sex with other men, the insertive partner may be referred to as the top, the one being penetrated may be referred to as the bottom, and those who enjoy either role may be referred to as versatile.[9] Pleasure, pain, or both may accompany anal sex. While the nerve endings in the anus can provide pleasurable feelings, an orgasm may be achieved through receptive anal penetration by indirect stimulation of the prostate.[10][11][12] A study by the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior (NSSHB) indicated that men who self-report taking a receptive position during anal sex in their last encounter were at least as likely to have reached orgasm as men who adopted an insertive role.[13] A study sampling single people in the U.S. indicated that orgasm rates are similar among men across sexual orientations.[14] With regard to pain or being uncomfortable during anal sex,[15][16] some research indicates that, for 24% to 61% of gay or bisexual men, painful receptive anal sex (known as anodyspareunia) is a frequent lifetime sexual difficulty.[16]
Reports pertaining to the prevalence of anal sex among MSM have varied over time, with some percentages higher than others.[9][17][18][19] A large percentage of gay and bisexual men self-report lifetime participation in anal sex.[9] Studies among gay men have indicated that percentages are similar when comparing men who prefer to penetrate their partners to those who prefer to be the receptive partner.[9][20] Some men who have sex with men, however, believe that being a receptive partner during anal sex questions their masculinity.[21][22]
With regard to non-penetrative sex, there is also variety. Frot is a form of male-male sexual activity that usually involves direct penis-to-penis contact.[23][24] It is a form of frottage. Frot can be enjoyable because it mutually and simultaneously stimulates the genitals of both partners as it tends to produce pleasurable friction against the frenulum nerve bundle on the underside of each man's penile shaft, just below the urinary opening (meatus) of the penis head (glans penis). Intercrural sex is another form of non-penetrative sex that can be practiced between MSM. Docking (the insertion of one man's penis into another man's foreskin) is also practiced.
MSM may engage in BDSM or use sex toys. A nationally representative survey carried out in Australia from 2001 to 2002 found that, in the 12 months prior to the survey, 4.4% of gay men and 14.2% of bisexual men participated in BDSM-related sexual activities,[25] and 19.2% of gay men and 36.4% of bisexual men used sex toys.[26] A non-representative, questionnaires-based survey on the sexual behavior of American students published in 1997 found 24% of gay and bisexual men had experience with spanking as a sexual practice.[27] Among medicine students in North America, 6% of gay men and 17% of bisexual men reported ever receiving pain for sexual pleasure, and 5% of gay men and 9% of bisexual men reported inflicting pain for this purpose.[20] According to an online survey of over 25,000 men who self-report a homosexual or bisexual orientation, 49.8% have ever used vibrators. Most men who had used a vibrator in the past reported use during masturbation (86.2%). When used during partnered interactions, vibrators were incorporated into foreplay (65.9%) and intercourse (59.4%).[28]
Health risks[edit]
A variety of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can result from sexual activity. A 2007 study reported that two large population surveys found "the majority of gay men had similar numbers of unprotected sexual partners annually as straight men and women."[29][30]
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).[31][32][33] Worldwide, an estimated 5–10% of HIV infections are the result of men having sex with men.[34] However, in most of the Western world, more HIV infections are transmitted by men having sex with men than by any other transmission route.[35] In the United States, "men who have had sex with men since 1977 have an HIV prevalence (the total number of cases of a disease that are present in a population at a specific point in time) 60 times higher than the general population".[36]
Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore; mainly on the external genitals, the vagina, or anus.[37] In 2006, 64% of the reported cases in the United States were among men who have sex with men.[37] A rise in the incidence of syphilis among MSM has been seen in other developed nations. Contracting syphilis increases the rates of HIV contamination and vice-versa, and accordingly a survey in the US has indeed found that half MSM with syphilis also possess HIV.[38] Some studies utilizing convenience samples have concluded that such rise can be attributed to increased rates of sex without a condom among MSM,[39] though at least one study using a nationally representative sample has found that condom use rates among MSM have increased, not decreased, in the last decade, and there has been a steep decline in the frequency of anal sex in the last sexual encounter of active MSM.[40]
According to a US survey, HVI, syphilis, and anal warts are both significantly more common among men who recently had sex with men (MSM) than among men who recently had sex only with women (MSW). On the other hand, genital herpes is less common among MSM than among MSW. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus, gonorrhea, and lice saw no significant difference across the two groups.[41]

I'm having a really bizarre problem with my home internet, specifically when I try to play flash games. The games load fine, but for some reason they disrupt the internet connection of every computer on my home network, specifically over port 80. All applications using other ports continue to function normally. Often I have to resort to rebooting the router in order to get port 80 working again.
As a web developer myself, I'm ashamed to admit I'm kind of stumped over this one. Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this behavior?
EDIT: Well, now I'm even more ashamed... Usavich rightly pointed out that port 80 is simply a destination port, not an outgoing/incoming port on my end. Not sure what I was thinking. Still, the pattern remains: normal web browser requests fail, while other persistent connections (iChat, Gmail) continue to function. I'm totally perplexed here.
Also I have reports that it's happening even without Flash being involved. The internet simply drops until the router is restarted.
EDIT 2: Just saw this question:
What is causing my wireless router to stop routing HTTP (port 80) connections?
Seems pretty similar to my problem. I'm thinking this might just be a router flaw (mine is a Netgear WNR2000v3).

A second medical emergency delayed an Air New Zealand flight
from Auckland to London over the weekend, hours after a
passenger died on the flight.
The woman, aged in her 50s, died on flight NZ2 on the
Auckland to Los Angeles leg of the voyage, Air NZ has
confirmed. It was not yet known if she was a New Zealander.
A passenger on the aircraft, New Zealand engineer Justin
Mayer, said there was a delay on the LAX tarmac of about an
hour before the coroner arrived to remove the body.
The flight landed on Friday -- July 4, the country's
Independence Day -- and Mr Mayer said staff announced the
airline was struggling to get a hold of a coroner because of
the occasion.

Since the 1970s the use of polarization measurements have become standard in optical experiments designed to test the entanglement features of quantum mechanics. Here, we examine the genesis of the conceptual-theoretical and, experimental, configurations that introduced the notion of polarization measurements of quanta traveling in opposite directions. This search uncovers a number of highly relevant publications from the late 1940s that remain largely ignored and unreferenced in today's literature.

That didn't work.
Wow! Still no answer.
Yes, but the devil is in the details, so to speak. I had a similar script that I obtained from a book, but lost both. I know this is simple, but I don't remember how. I'll figure it out...
Is this too hard of a question, or too easy

I'd like to create a function, like:
def generateThumbnail(self, width, height):
Generates thumbnails for an image
im = Image.open(self._file)
im.thumbnail((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save(self._path + str(width) + 'x' +
str(height) + '-' + self._filename, "JPEG")
Where a file can be given and resized.
The current function works great except it does not crop when necessary.
In the case that a rectangular image is given, and a square resize is required (width = height), some centered-weighted cropping will have to be done.
How can I do this?

WASHINGTON-- Mortgage applications in the United States declined for the fifth time in the past six weeks, as fewer Americans bought homes and refinanced their properties.
The Mortgage Bankers Association's index decreased 1.2 percent in the week that ended March 14, the Washington-based trade group reported Wednesday.
The purchase gauge fell 0.9 percent. A measure of refinancing dropped 1.3 percent.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed loan was 4.50 percent last week compared with 4.52 percent in the prior period.
The average rate on a 15-year mortgage was little changed at 3.52 percent after 3.53 percent.
The share of applicants seeking to refinance decreased to 56.5 percent, the lowest since April 2010, from 56.7 percent the week earlier.

All right, you ragtag bunch of misfits! You hate me, and I hate you even more. But without my beloved ringers, you're all I've got. So I want you to remember some inspiring words that someone else might have told you over the course of your lives, and go out there and win!
Has a greater speech ever been uttered to fire up a bunch of ball players? It's pure honesty at it's finest. Group hate as a tool of motivation, then followed with some Zen-ish words or whatever kind of "Phil Jackson blah-blah-blah to get your head right" words. Hey, look, a basketball reference Gilpin! If we can remove ourself from the moment and transport ourselves to that happy place, then we can trick ourselves. Thank you Montgomery Burns for this gem and this great song. If this doesn't work for you, then just think of boobs and how many you get to see if you're successful. That's in life, not fantasy baseball. In fantasy baseball, you get the adoration of random men over the internet. Wait, what? Ummmm… I officially just made this weird. Hey, look, there's a creeper below me and a top-100 for you to chew on below that. *Runs away from computer.*Please, blog, may I have some more?

Against alief

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
This essay attempts to clarify the nature and structure of aliefs. First I distinguish between a robust notion of aliefs and a deflated one. A robust notion of aliefs would introduce aliefs into our psychological ontology as a hitherto undiscovered kind, whereas a deflated notion of aliefs would identify aliefs as a set of pre-existing psychological states. I then propose the following dilemma: one the one hand, if aliefs have propositional content, then it is unclear exactly how aliefs differ from psychological states we already countenance, in which case there is no robust notion of aliefs; on the other, if aliefs just contain associative content, then they cannot do the explanatory work set out for them, in which case there is no reason to posit aliefs at all. Thus, it appears that we have little reason to posit the novel category of robust aliefs.

I'm so happy House of Mouse is back - bestest shop on Etsy! Great conversations, fabulous mice and crazy quick shipping!
The House of Mouse - Tails of Joy
Everyone deserves to have more in their life to smile about.
My mice are experts at creating smiles.
I am Anna, the artist behind these joyful artisan felt mice.
My Granny was a mouse maker, and just like her I am on a mission to let more joy into your life.
I want my creations to speak to your soul, light you up and inspire you with pure delight.
Because I believe that the things that make you happy are what make your life so unique.
I put hours of loving attention into the tiniest details, to bring these beautifully intricate, utterly adorable felt mice to life, so they can light up your day in an instant.
As a child I struggled with reading and writing.
After years of being treated as "educationally sub-normal" by my teachers, I was finally diagnosed with dyslexia.
A condition that meant my brain is far from stupid, it simply has a different way of learning.
Dyslexia also gave me a huge gift.
Like blindness results in extraordinary hearing, it gifted me with an intense passion and talent for creativity.
Though I struggled to learn in a conventional school setting, I excelled at all things creative.
Throughout my life creativity has been my source of joy.
Joy is my refuge from the struggles of life.
I joined every craft class I could find outside of school – I studied drawing, painting, ceramics, sewing and textiles.
I built up a confidence that I could learn any technique I put my mind to.
Soon I had added photography, graphic design and sculpture to my skills at art school.
I was in my element learning new techniques and trying out different materials.
I use many of these skills, combined with loving attention to the tiniest details to bring these beautifully intricate, utterly adorable felt mice to life, so they can light up your day in an instant.

Jake Speer, the new Waukee Public Library Director, is new to the City of Waukee, but not new to Iowa.
Speer, who grew up in Ottumwa and graduated from the University of Iowa in 1999, decided to bring his family to Waukee after working as library director in Zionsville, Indiana.
"I have a growing family at the moment," Speer said. "My son is 3 ½ and my wife and I are expecting twins. Waukee seemed like a great place to raise a family."
Although Speer has only been on the job for a little over a week, his long-term goals for the library are to expand their community programs.
"I think we have a great staff and some great programs, but I would like to expand those to meet the ever-growing population," he said. "I'm looking at including more programs for adults like cooking classes because it helps bring more people in from the community and shows we are more than just a library with books."
Speer would also like to increase the library's online resources to make it available to patrons at all times.
"There's a lot of great content we can provide to the public so it would be beneficial to have our library available 24/7," he said. Speer's goal before the end of the year is to receive a $3,000 grant from the State Library Association to go toward a selection of Kindle Fires, iPads and Nooks.
"If we are able to get the grant then we can have our staff be more knowledgeable to better assist the public when they come in for questions," Speer said. "We could have a teen or toddler course for parents on how to use the devices for example."
Speer added if the library does not receive the grant that the library will still use funds to go toward the technology purchase.
Even though Speer is still becoming acquainted with staff and community members, he says he's looking forward to becoming a part of the Waukee community.
"I think Waukee is a wonderful community and has just the right amount of growth," he said. "I'm very excited to be here."

Finally 100%'d this
For the longest time, the only two achievements I had left were getting an A on level 3 and 4. I managed to get the A on level 3 about a week ago and got the A on level 4 tonight. Glad that's finally completed :]
Grats, Chapter 3 was on a completely different tier of difficulty then the other 4.

(Don Ryan/AP)One day after its 51-14 blowout win at Clemson, Florida State debuted at No. 2 in the first BCS standings unveiled on Sunday night.The Seminoles opened just below Alabama, which holds the top BCS spot. Oregon, Ohio State and Missouri rounded out the top five.The percentage of votes in the USA Today and Harris polls each count for one third of the BCS calculations, with a combination of six computer rankings making up the final third. Each team's highest and lowest computer rankings are thrown out in the formula.Here's a look at the complete BCS standings:1. Alabama2. Florida State3. Oregon4. Ohio State5. Missouri6. Stanford7. Miami8. Baylor9. Clemson10. Texas Tech11. Auburn12. UCLA13. LSU14. Virginia Tech15. Oklahoma16. Texas A&M17. Fresno State18. Northern Illinois19. Oklahoma State20. Louisville21. South Carolina22. Michigan23. UCF24. Nebraska25. Oregon StateA few thoughts:• Florida State beat out Oregon for the BCS No. 2 ranking even though the Ducks landed ahead of the Seminoles in both human polls. But FSU had the best overall computer ranking, and that was enough to give the 'Noles their highest spot in the BCS since 2000. In all the ACC had a good showing in the first BCS rankings, with four teams -- Miami (No. 7), Clemson (9) and Virginia Tech (14) -- opening in the top 15.• Despite its unbeaten record, No. 4 Ohio State wouldn't play for the BCS if the season ended today. The Buckeyes are one of only three Big Ten teams in the released rankings, with No. 22 Michigan and No. 24 Nebraska rounding out the conference's representation. The SEC led all conferences with six schools in the top 25.• Fresno State (No. 17) and Northern Illinois (No. 18) carried the non-AQ flag in the initial rankings. As non-automatic qualifiers, the Bulldogs or the Huskies would have to finish 12th or higher to earn a BCS bowl berth. One of the two programs could also finish 16th or higher if it finishes ahead of an AQ conference champion. That scenario isn't impossible as Louisville of the American Athletic Conference started off at No. 20 in the rankings. Of course, Northern Illinois crashed last year's BCS by snagging a berth in the Orange Bowl opposite Florida State. • Crimson Tide and Seminole fans better not book BCS-title hotel rooms just yet. According to Jon Solomon of the Birmingham News, only once in 15 years of the BCS have the top two teams in the initial rankings run the table and met in championship game -- 2005, when USC clashed with Texas.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Let's face it. You know and I know that this video really isn't a VCR game. Also, you know and I know that when they ask questions like, "Was Randy West wearing a wrist watch in that last gang bang," we don't know the answer because we're too busy counting pubic hairs. In spite of the hokey theme (aren't there enough x-rated "game" tapes?), this video is pretty good. Playing For Passion pretends to be a game where you watch a segment and then are asked questions about obscure details within that segment. The one who gets the most answers right wins.
Once you get beyond the oddball questions, and the mummified hosts — the rest of this tape is fine. There's a lot of terrific sex. And, with the extensive cast, you're really going to see a Who's Who of porn.
I especially like the sizzling scene featuring Buffy Davis. It, like the rest of the video, features excellent camera work and we're not playing games.

Let $a(n)>0$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $\sum a(n)$ converges. Define $r(n):=\sum\limits_{k=n+1}^\infty a(k)$. The claim is $$\lim_{n \to \infty} r(n) = 0,$$ but I cannot see how to prove it. Please help.
Why does the tail $a_N+a_{N+1}+a_{N+2}\ldots$ of convergent series $\sum a_n$ tend to $0$ as $N\to\infty$?
If the series $a(n)$ converges to $A$, that means that the sums $\sum_{i=0}^n a(i)$ get very close to $A$ as $n$ gets large. You have $r(n)=\sum_{j=n+1}^\infty a(j)=A-\sum_{i=0}^n a(i)$ and the right side goes to $0$ as $n$ gets large.
To make it more formal, you can use an $\epsilon N$ argument: Given $\epsilon \gt 0$ we need to find $N$ such that there is an $N$ such that $r(n)=\sum_{j=N+1}^\infty a(j) \lt \epsilon$. We are told that there is an $N$ such that $A-\sum_{i=0}^N a(i)\lt \epsilon$ and the same $N$ works.
We know that the series $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty a(k)$$ converges, meaning by definition that its sequence of partial sums $$s(n):=\sum_{k=1}^na(k)$$ converges. Take $\varepsilon>0$, so by convergence of its sequence of partial sums, we have for some $N$ and all $n\geq N$ that $$\left|s(n)-\sum_{k=1}^\infty a(k)\right|<\varepsilon.$$ But $$s(n)-\sum_{k=1}^\infty a(k)=-r(n),$$ so $-r(n)\to 0$, and so $r(n)\to 0$.
So $\lim r(n) = 0$ for a positive sequence $r(n)$ means that for every positive $\epsilon$ we can find an $N$ where $m > N$ implies $r(m) < \epsilon$.
On the other hand, the (strictly increasing) series $a(n)$ converging to, say, $\alpha$ means that for every positive $\delta$, we can find a $M$ where $p > M$ implies that $\alpha - \delta < \sum_{i=1}^p a(i) < \alpha$.
Now rewrite $\alpha$ in terms of the series $a(n)$,
$\sum_{i=1}^\infty a(i) -\delta < \sum_{i=1}^m a(i) < \sum_{i=1}^\infty a(i)$
Subtract off the partial sequence and add $\delta$,
$\sum_{i=m+1}^\infty a(i) < \delta$
Since $\delta$ was arbitrary, and the left hand side positive, we know the limit is zero.
Let $s(n) = \sum _{k = 0}^n a(k)$. Let $s = \sum _{k = 0}^\infty a(k)$.
Then $\sum _{k = n+1}^\infty a(k) = s - s(n)$.
Hence $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \sum _{k = n+1}^\infty a(k) = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} s - s(n) = 0$

A few days ago I logged into my wp-admin as usual, and the Visual editor just wasn't working!!
I've checked absolutely everywhere and tried everything:
Use Google Libraries
Installed new Wp-includes and wp-admin.
New, fresh install of WP 3.3
New, fresh install of WP 3.3.1
Changed plugin folder name to see if it was a plugin
Deactivated all plugins.
Cleared cache, website data, cookies, history
I'm running out of ideas?!?! The problem only occurred for the first time yesterday. I was using Safari and it didn't work. So I tried on Chrome, which also didn't work. then I tried Opera then IE. - ALL OF THE BROWSERS DIDN'T WORK.
I've used a different theme to see if that was the problem but it wasn't.
This is what my Visual Editor looks like:
I have also tried checking if the Visual Editor is turned off in my profile.

I used to shoot a lot differently, but since I started shooting USPSA a few years ago things have really changed. After several classes my aiming technique is as follows:
- Eyes to target(threat), hand to gun.
- Draw gun from holster w/finger outside trigger guard and off hand comes to middle of torso at solar plexus.
- Gun hand comes up to off hand and two hand grip is established, thumb safety is switched off.
- Gun is raised to be in line with eyes on target(threat), arms pushed out to slight bend, finger goes to trigger, eyes focus on front sights with target(threat) in backround and shot breaks.
The gun is raised to be in line with the eyes on target. Very fast and very accurate. Check out some of the top shooters in the sport and their look at their style.
But, it's all about the practice. Anyway you take aim, you gotta practice, practice, practice.

"Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" : adventures of a curious character (1985)
by Richard Feynman
» 8 more
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I recently re-read the autobiography, 'Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!' I first read this book in high school, and was fascinated by his stories of his work on the atomic bomb. Since that time, I've achieved my Bachelor's degree in Physics, and it makes me laugh even more. Whether you're a theoretical physicist or a brick layer, or anything in between, this book is full of insightful humor, only some of which is caused by a Physicist's unique way of looking at the world and not understanding the social requirements of certain situations.
The title comes from the response of a very British woman asking if he would like milk or lemon in his tea. He asks for both. Anyone who has mixed milk and lemon juice knows it would ruin whatever tea it was added to. Who wants to drink curdled milk?
Feynman's insights in the book range from his experience cracking safes to cutting layers of red tape and why, as well as a passionate call for a return to pure science. This section at the end had a greater impact on me now than it did in High School, all the more because it hasn't been heeded in the intervening decades. I echo Feyman's call for true science to make a resurgence. When science is held at the mercy of the businesses who fund it, the businesses can pick and choose the results they want, thus destroying the validity of the study altogether. If you run an experiment 100 times, you will probably find one run that indicates the opposite of the other 99.
This is a fun and interesting read, no matter what level you have at understanding Physics.
Fantastic and inspirational.
Quite enjoyable anecdotes but Hey man is annoying.
Fascinating non-fiction book that details Feynman's involvement in creating the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Explains a lot of physics theory in a clear, easy-to-understand way, AND he has a great sense of humor too (!).
It was more entertaining than I thought it would be for a book about a physicist. I was surprised when I realized that I think I only know who Feynman is because I watch The Big Bang Theory on television (though I did take physics in high school and college so I am not a total science loss).

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0393316041, Paperback)A series of anecdotes shouldn't by rights add up to an autobiography, but that's just one of the many pieces of received wisdom that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman (1918-88) cheerfully ignores in his engagingly eccentric book, a bestseller ever since its initial publication in 1985. Fiercely independent (read the chapter entitled "Judging Books by Their Covers"), intolerant of stupidity even when it comes packaged as high intellectualism (check out "Is Electricity Fire?"), unafraid to offend (see "You Just Ask Them?"), Feynman informs by entertaining. It's possible to enjoy Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman simply as a bunch of hilarious yarns with the smart-alecky author as know-it-all hero. At some point, however, attentive readers realize that underneath all the merriment simmers a running commentary on what constitutes authentic knowledge: learning by understanding, not by rote; refusal to give up on seemingly insoluble problems; and total disrespect for fancy ideas that have no grounding in the real world. Feynman himself had all these qualities in spades, and they come through with vigor and verve in his no-bull prose. No wonder his students--and readers around the world--adored him. --Wendy Smith
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:11:16 -0400)
In this phenomenal bestseller, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman recounts his adventures trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek, painting a naked female toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums--and much else of an eyebrow-raising and hilarious nature.

Comments about 'Mitt Romney talks pioneers, family tradition in recent post'
- Oldest first

What a great idea and way to teach an extended family about their personal
heritage and how and why we should all be more appreciative of the modern-day
conveniences we usually take for granted. Feeling genuine gratitude is one one
of the quickest ways of becoming personally happy... at least for me it is.
It would be great if more national leaders of the stature of Mitt Romney had a deeper appreciation for our American heritage and the traditional things that have made America great. In spite of his great personal wealth, Mitt regularly finds ways of keeping his life and personal priorities in proper perspective. Very admirable.
Every time I read another article about Romney, I can't help but think of the ever-growing number of people who have since suffered genuine voter-remorse since the last presidential election. Obama has since shown more of his true character which has driven his popularity poll numbers to all-time lows.
Except to hardcore left-wing liberals who remain skeptical of traditional reality, there's no longer any doubt things would turn out much differently if the presidential election was re-held today.

@ Thornbirds:
You do realize that "Thinking Democrats" is getting to be a fairly small group... nationally, but especially in Utah.
And who are the "among others" you refer to who are supposedly skeptical of Romney? Obama has given multiple times more reasons to be more skeptical of him and his policies over Romney and what he advocates. Our country's current situation, domestically and regarding foreign policy clearly bears that out.
I've spent a lot of time studying Mitt Romney's life along with his extensive private and public service histories. I no longer have any doubt that he would be an exceptional Commander and Chief. Would he be perfect? Of course not. No one is. But he undoubtedly would be much greater than any other president we've had since Ronald Reagan.
Liberal Democrats gnash their teeth at that statement. But it's the absolute truth. I've found that most of Romney's critics actually know very little about him beyond the outright lies and half-truths that were continually spewed by team Obama during the last presidential campaign. When anything is repeated often enough, people start believing it, regardless of whether it's true or not.

Enjoyed reading your comments.
Specifically the following:
"...When anything is repeated often enough, people start believing it, regardless of whether it's true or not...".
Excellent point.
You do realize Thinking Republicans represents an oxymoron.
To verify, ask Roger Ailes, at Fox News, whose credo is...We report it, you fall for it.
I'm sure Mitt Romney is a fine fellow.
His father was a remarkable politician.
Voters always knew what George Romney was all about and trusted his integrity.
One problem voters had during the election was trying to determine which Mitt Romney would receive their vote.
Voters never had that problem with his father.

Actually they didn't have that problem with Mitt Romney either. They looked at him, evaluated him, dug through his flip-flops and etch-a-sketches, saw the truth about him and what he was (and is), and realized that he was by far the worst choice in the election field. They (rightly) chose the least worse alternative. Voters never had that problem with his father, who was truly a choice act.

I agree that polls are showing that in hindsight that many wish they had elected
Romney instead of Obama.
However, had Romney won, I would bet that the polls would now be showing that people wished that they had elected Obama instead of Romney.
Typical buyers remorse. And very common for a second term president.
Not exactly the ringing endorsement for Romney that many make it out to be.

Enough already people. This is our problem and the reason our congress cant work together.
There are smart people and good ideas on both sides. In fact, we need both sides to create balance.
It is not black and white. At least it didn't used to be that way.

@ There You Go Again
I originally wrote "Thinking Democrats is a oxymoron" because that is becoming more and more obvious to more and more people around the country.
But I decided to rise a bit above what others might view as contempt for the other political side and therefore changed my comment to be less offensive to liberals. I was sad to see that you stooped to doing it, except against Republicans.
You aren't as original, nor as bright as you seem to think regarding trite sayings. However, I'm glad you enjoyed my comments, as I also enjoyed yours... until I got to that part.
As you said, Mitt's father, George, was indeed a fine person of high integrity. In our current highly charged political climate, it's too bad more people can't see that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Nor did it in this case.
In the ugly world of national politics, Mitt is an exception who actually uses personal scruples. Sadly, that bothers liberals because it makes Republicans in general look good and therefore empowers them.
I've studied Mitt's life in detail. He's the real deal.

Objectified, thank you for your comments.
People have voter's remorse because every few months something Romney spoke out about turns out to be the case. They have voter's remorse because they're watching the things happen that educated voters already saw coming. Mitt Romney is, all things considered, a fantastic presidential candidate, period.
Get passed the election buzz, it's not 2012 anymore, and start looking at things the way they are. Study his actions, history, positions, and writings. Study Obama's, for that matter; of everything that's gone on, none of it is a surprise. Study upcoming candidates; don't dismiss Fox news for being too conservative while gluing yourself to CNN, MSNBC, CBS, or NPR.

An athlete in a strip club is hardly a revelation. I heard that occasionally some NBA players frequent these establishments as well
Where better to rehab?Hide replies
I can't think of a better place. He can be off his feet and still get in some cardio.
Awesome - can definitely count on Benson returning for a playoff push. This is great news.Hide replies
? is that facetious? If not, could you explain how you drew that conclusion from this article, please?
Okay, unless part of the rehab is to have a stripper sucking on your toes I'm assuming we can forget about Cedric coming back to help the team. I'd hope he'd be in Green Bay rehabbing and supporting his teammates, instead of clubbing in Texas. Wow.
He is working there, the 6 week IR salary is less so maybe he needs the money.
You would think DJ World Piece would be a more appropriate moniker for strip joints...
And now we know exactly why such a talented player has bounced around the league, and why the other 31 teams in the league passed on him last summer, even at his relatively cheap price.
Benson is gone for the rest of the season and will not be resigned. Way too much baggage and immaturity for Thompson to tolerate. See ya Ced.

COLCORD, Okla. (August 28, 2013)—Residents of Colcord, Okla., were temporarily without water Wednesday after workers found worms in the small town's municipal water tower.
Colcord, a town of 815 people, is about 80 miles east of Tulsa.
Vice Mayor Cody Gibby said the worms are a type of earthworm that range from a half-inch to an inch long.
Gibby says the worms are passing through water filters and getting into distribution lines.
The town shut off its drinking water Tuesday night with plans to flush the water system out and scrub the water tower clean.
Classes were canceled Wednesday at Colcord schools, and bottled water was made available to residents.

After his appearance at ringside during UFC 146 nearly two weeks ago sent shock waves through the industry, Brock Lesnar has apparently found himself in the WWE doghouse once again.
Not that this is terribly surprising: The former UFC heavyweight Champion has spent most of career (both in MMA or pro wrestling) being a lightning rod for controversy.
Few could have expected his second stint in WWE to go 100 percent smoothly when he inked a deal and returned to the company earlier this year. And, unsurprisingly, it looks like major problems have developed between the two parties.
In this week's (subscribers-only) Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer gives an update on Lesnar's fractured relationship with WWE, noting that the company is absolutely furious with their recently signed star over his UFC outing. He writes:
According to several sources, there is nuclear heat on Lesnar right now, a lot of which stems from his going to the UFC show and their knowledge that he met with Dana White...not only was Vince McMahon not behind it, but he wasn't aware of it until it happened.
He goes on to note that part of The Big Show's opening promo on last week's RAW, as well as the direction of Big Show's current heel character, is a deliberate shot at the former MMA star by management:
Right now the company is trying to send a message to him by giving Show the push as the "I'm not an entertainer, I'm a badass in real life" position that was Lesnar's line. The line about Show being far tougher than a fake UFC fighter was meant as a shot at Lesnar.
Despite the toxic nature of his relationship with the promotion, Meltzer notes that Lesnar will likely still be brought back by WWE for his grudge bout with Triple H at some point.
This is something that was seemingly confirmed by WWE's announcement earlier today on their Web site that Hunter would be making a special appearance at the No Way Out pay-per-view on June 17 to address Lesnar's current (storyline) lawsuit against the company.

I'll take the(rapists) for 1000 Alex
The other night I had to go to a performance at my school for my multicultural drama class. It was put on by my professor that teaches said multicultural class and it was for Sexual Assault Awareness Week. I celebrate this week every year by wearing ass-less chaps with a massive cod piece in public and a t-shirt that says, "You can't rape the willing." Needless to say I have never been laid during sexual assault awareness week, but anyways I digress.
I had to attend this performance so I could write a short response paper on it, as we have to see two performances during the semester and this one was just easy for me to get to. For some reason my personal common sense radar didn't go off when I got the e-mail about a play put on by two women (one a lesbian, not that there is anything wrong with that) during sexual assault awareness week. Basically if I had any brains at all I would have figured how uncomfortable I would be. Of course none of that crossed my mind…
However that quickly changed once I got there. When I walked in to sit down I was serenaded by the sounds of Ani Difranco playing on the PA, while I like Ani it usually is a calling card of the, "I hate anything with cock camp". If I had any sort of awareness to my surroundings I would have gotten up and left but being the giant oaf that I am I settled into one of the first two rows of seats.
I sat there by myself for a few minutes and the crowd began to trickle in. As the room filled I noticed one thing that set me apart from everyone else, I didn't have breasts. Eventually a handful of guys showed up, mostly middle aged members of the faculty.
Finally the performance started and the main actress came to center stage asking all the men in the audience to stand up. The handful of us did and I felt the stares of death from the crowd, I began to raise my hands to protect my crotch and cover my eyes to guard against the potential use of pepper spray.
As the performance went on and stats were given about rape and sexual assault I felt the stares of every single women knifing into my back. This of course didn't get better as the actress walked down to the front few rows and stared at every man saying the line, "this is my body you can't have it." It was really comfortable as each time she said it she got more emotional, finally bursting into tears at the guy two chairs over from me. When she got to me they were streaming down her face… Good times, I didn't want to crawl into a hole or die or anything…
Finally the performance ended and they had a symposium immediately following with the two actresses from the play, a psychologist, and the head of the University Police, where they discussed sexual assault awareness. About ten minutes into it I had learned the following:
-Don't trust any man they all have the goal of wanting to rape you
-I should detach my cock from my body with a dull plastic knife to make up for any man that has sexually assaulted a women
-Men = evil
I decided that I kind of had enough and that I wanted to sneak out of there. As soon as I got up to leave one of the men in the audience asked this question, "As a homosexual I am worried about male on male attacks, do you have any statistics for those?" What a fun question to leave on…
Oh and just for the record I managed not to rape anyone on the way to my car, I passed by four guys and six women…
There was a really good looking blonde girl at that performance would it have been totally inappropriate to ask for her number there? And if I did what the hell could my opening line be?

Your Baby Is 51 Weeks Old!
Help baby continue to develop her vocabulary by asking her what she prefers — say, the yellow shirt or the blue shirt. Little things like this help her understand the differences between words. Continue pointing out and explaining things the two of you encounter, such as the number of toys in a bucket and all their different colors. While she's not speaking in full sentences yet, listening to you use them gives her verbal development a major boost.
Coping with the clingies?
Pacifier weaning?
Nighttime separation anxiety?

Stuck on you
It's completely natural for baby to have separation anxiety at this age. Allow her a little time to warm up to family members, friends, and babysitters before you leave her with them. You can also foster her independence by letting her explore different (baby-proofed!) rooms in your home while you check in periodically — this will help her get used to not being by your side all the time.
Give baby a transitional object
Check out our toddler board
[tip] Don't be concerned if baby isn't walking by her first birthday — some babies need up to 24 months before taking those first steps. In the meantime, make sure she has plenty of safe space to practice pulling up and taking steps.

I updated my 2.6 to 2.6.1 without a hitch.
But I have 9 of these things(blogs) and I'm going to make more(maybe).
Even though I have a fast internet connection it still takes time.
To the powers that know, is it worth it to upgrade everything as quick as it comes out?
Except for the time I was blessed, it was pretty easy going from 2.6 to 2.6.1, you guys seemed to have done a good job.

Before I post the below information I just purchased the Flash II with zytel handels for 36 bucks off of Amazon. I love the knife but I found this review and will post others if I do.
Edit: The zytel does not bother my grip at all. I only mention this because some people like it and others do not. I also posted 3 reviews from others that are somewhat negative towards zytel and those opinions are just that and nothing more but I found some bad and posted it to help you. Not too slam zytel.
Source: SOG Specialty Knives Flash II Half Serratedblade Knife Review | A "CUT" above the rest!!
"I started with the SOG Flash II with the zytel handels and it lasted about 5 months of field use before the handles broke and the knife was useless. Being in Iraq it was very difficult to do anything except do without a folding knife. Now that I have the aluminum handles I don't worry about anything breaking. The SOG blades hold an edge better than any other knife than I have used or that my dad has used, he spent 12 years in the USMC as a Scout Sniper and he said his SOG Bowie did a lot more than most blades should ever need too and he would still trust it in combat to this day. I sure hope he's serious because it's on my belt for my second tour. If you are going into harms way or have a loved one who is, ANY of the SOG brand blades would be a great "tool" for them to carry with them. SEMPER FI."
