This study showed that in a population of over 7,000 people, over 25% had an IgE food allergy. It's rare to see a large study like this on food allergies. It is also rare to see allergies defined in such a scientific manner, meaning that a person was determined to have an allergy if IgE antibodies were found in the blood.
In the United States, patients are only determined to have an allergy if they experience one of five different symptoms: asthma, eczema, anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis (runny nose), or hives. Most doctors ignore the possibility of any other symptoms. They also ignore positive IgE lab tests if the patient does not have one of those five symptoms.
This explains why in the U.S. we are often told that only about 2% of the adult population has food allergies. This German study found a much higher number of food allergies, and they only measured IgE antibodies. If we also include IgA and IgG food antibodies, such as those found in gluten sensitivities, then the number of people with food allergies is much higher.
I estimate that at least 50% of the population has a food allergy, and that may be significantly underestimating the issue. People with food allergies aren't rare. They are simply not being addressed by the medical community.

Boot gaiters are protective sleeves that go over your boots to protect your legs
from things like moisture, snow, weeds, etc, and sometimes even snakes!
They are usually made of a very durable material, fit snugly over the boots for
the maximum amount of protection, and cover the legs quite a ways up.
Gaiters can usually be worn with about any kind of boot, and are very
popular for outdoorsmen who like to hike, hunt, fish, and travel through the thick wilderness of
the wild.
This is an item that every outdoorsman should have, and it is an item that you
will not want to go without if you enjoy hunting, but do NOT enjoy snow and water getting down your
Boot gaiters (also popularly known as hiking gaiters or walking gaiters) are the perfect things
to get to protect your legs and feet from these discomforts, and here are some things to remember while shopping
for them.
First of all, remember that you want to buy hiking gaiters that are made from a very durable,
highly waterproof material. Most walking gaiters are made from nylon, but are outfitted with rugged, often triple
ply 50-denier Ventia fabric on the upper part. Lower, you usually get something like a 500-denier cordura nylon
fabric, with an enclosure made from Velcro, usually one and a half inches wide.
The strap should also be made of a high quality material, such as nylon/rubber. This will ensure
that the boot gaiter does not fail when moisture comes into contact with it, and will ensure you long hours of
Size is usually a concern, but not as big a concern as if you were, say, buying a pair of shoes.
Usually, walking gaiters are sold in small, medium, large, and extra large sizes. Petite women and children would
wear small, smaller men would wear medium or large, and plus sized men and women would wear extra large.
This keeps sizing relatively simple, and makes it easy to buy hiking gaiters for family members
or friends as gifts. Unlike shoes...because with shoes you never know what size to get.
You are always guessing, afraid that you will guess wrong, and then, not all shoes fit the
same....not with gaiters! Walking gaiters pretty much fit anybody within their size range, and you can usually just
size someone up by looking at them. This makes buying hiking gaiters pretty easy.
Boot gaiters are also very popular with kids, because kids don't like to have snow down their
shoes any more than adults do! That is why more and more kids are wearing gaiters now than ever before. Women are
also wearing gaiters more often, sporting them while hunting, fishing, and hiking right along with men.
So, find out which kind suits you best, and suit up today in a new pair of boot gaiters. As
mentioned, they are also called hiking or walking gaiters, so check with your favorite online retailer about prices
and sizes available. If you like the outdoors, you will not regret purchasing a pair!

'Girls,' Season 2, Episode 1, 'It's About Time': TV Recap
Welcome to the Season 2 premiere of "Girls." It's the show you either love– or love to hate–about a group of 20-something girls who live in Brooklyn and are trying to figure out what they are supposed to do. Despite my mixed feelings on Hannah and Marnie (sometimes I really HATE them), I have always felt that "Girls' is true to what it's like to navigate your 20′s. The petty fights and cutting comments reveal immaturity and vulnerability that everyone can relate to.
Hannah (Lena Dunham) has not one, but three guys to abuse now! She spoons in bed with gay ex-boyfriend-turned-roommate Elijah ("The New Normal's" Andrew Rannells) (because he has no bed), but is dating Sandy ("Community's" Donald Glover) and wants to make "logical responsible decisions." Which totally means she's not going to make one logical, responsible decision the entire season. Sandy doesn't sound like he likes all the "rules" Hannah placed on their relationship, including forbidding the L word. But she has a lot of guilt over Adam (Adam Driver), who is bedridden with a broken leg after getting hit by a truck in the Season 1 Finale. So she's over there all the time and Adam (who doesn't know about Sandy) thinks she's his "main hang" and isn't into titles…so clearly they aren't on the same page. Oh, and he is still in love with her.
(Sidebar, I'm sure Lena Dunham could have cast Sandy any way she wanted, but she cast Donald Glover. Is it in response to criticisms that "Girls" was too (or all) white? Perhaps. We haven't seen enough of Sandy to know what kind of character he's going to be, but I'm sure we won't be disappointed).
Marnie (Allison Williams) isn't having the best luck: She gets "downsized" from her job at the art gallery. In a rather sad scene with her mom (Rita Wilson) we see her mom displays several selfish traits and is more concerned about being "friends" with her daughter than offering useful advice. Why are all the parents cast on this show so…unlikable, selfish and unsupportive?
Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) is the first guest to show up at Hannah and Elijah's housewarming party and goes on about being "deflowered but not devalued." (Now that she's no longer a virgin, Shoshanna is going to have to find a new "thing." Although she doesn't seem totally comfortable with her new lot in life. Did she expect sex to be a life-altering change?). Elijah asks if she misses her hymen. Ha. Of course she runs into Ray (Alex Karpovsky) at the party; she defriended Ray on Facebook because she didn't want to see him in her feed because Ray hurt her feelings. He only wanted to sleep with her, not date her. (Well, at least Shoshanna seems to be handling guys better than Hannah). (I love Shoshanna: she sends Ray texts full of Emojis!). Their back-and-forth leads to them making out, and from the previews, they may be in it for the long haul.
Charlie (Christopher Abbott) brings his new girlfriend, Audrey, to the party; that doesn't go so well and she leaves. Things between Marnie and Charlie remain weird. Good thing they didn't sleep together at Jess's wedding at the end of last season. It makes me sad that Marnie defines herself by whether or not she has a boyfriend.
While Hannah tries to find a dress, her and Marnie have a heart to heart– Marnie is worried they aren't close anymore since they fought and she moved out. (That argument was one of my favorite moments on "Girls" — not because 2 best friends were yelling at each other, but because they were being HONEST with each other). And in case you forgot, Marnie has no job, no boyfriend and no Hannah.
Elijah's boyfriend George (who's older than everyone at the party) gets really drunk calls everyone at the party boring (can't say I completely disagree). Elijah requests Hannah's help with getting George to leave. Of course, Hannah has something more important going on (Adam needs help) and says she can't help. Here we learn that Hannah really hasn't changed, because Elijah informs us that all Hannah does is talk about Adam 24/7. As usual it's all about Hannah.
Hannah manages to get rid of George by locking him out. George drops some interesting information: apparently Elijah has some not-nice things to say. (We all know everyone on "Girls" is extremely judgmental and I love when we find out what the characters REALLY think of each other). Who cares though, she rushes over to Adam's to bring him stuff he needs. Adam tries to get Hannah to stay, but she won't/can't/tries to leave until he says that she's the best thing in his life and he'd die without her. (A little dramatic). Hannah says she doesn't want to be with Adam. He calls her on this, saying that she told him that he wasn't allowed to let her break up with him because it was just her being crazy. Hannah says she changed her mind; she's tired of being selfless and taking care of everyone around her and she never wants to see Adam ever again. "It's not your choice, it's my choice" she yells as leaves.
Back at the party Elijah and Marnie are trying to harmonize "Building a Mystery" and aren't really succeeding. Elijah confides to Marnie that his life is too intertwined with George, because George pays for everything, including his rent. (How does Hannah pay for her rent?). Oh, and Elijah is probably bi. This leads to attempted sex with Marnie (remember, they made out in college when he was dating Hannah). Well, it doesn't go so well because Elijah can't stay hard and Marnie rolls her eyes at him. "You know, you really don't have to try to be anything you're not," she tells him as she gets dressed. "Neither do you," he replies. Instead she seeks comfort from Charlie — she doesn't want sex, she just wants to sleep next to someone. (We've all had that feeling). He lets her in, but I can't imagine this is going to go over well with Audrey.
Ah finally! It's Chris O'Dowd! I love him. Seems his character — Thomas-John — and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) are still together. (I still don't think this is going to last very long. Jessa is the type of person who liked to do what she wants, and Thomas-John is too weird, even for her). They were in Mexico (on their honeymoon?) and now they're back, but she doesn't know where Thomas-John lives. That's Jessa for you.
Hannah goes over to Sandy's under the pretext of wanting to borrow "The Fountainhead" and when he goes to get it (that's a huge apartment! What does Sandy do?) she undresses and lies on his bed.
Well, what did you think? Were you impressed by the Season 2 premiere? Was Lena Dunham naked enough of times? What do you expect from the girls this season? Will Marnie and Charlie get back together? What about Lena and Adam? Do you give Jessa and Thomas-John one more episode? The entire season? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MD Anderson Ombuds (also known as an Ombudsman or Ombudsperson)?
An Ombuds is a person who provides confidential, impartial, off-the-record assistance to all workforce members who have concerns, conflicts, complaints, or disputes arising from or affecting their work or studies at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The primary goal of the Ombuds is to enhance an employee's ability to deal effectively with a given situation and to seek a timely resolution. The Ombuds Office provides an alternate channel that supplements existing resources. The Ombudsperson does not have decision-making authority, but strives to facilitate positive outcomes for all parties.
What are some common problems people present to the Ombuds?
Any type of conflict in the workplace that an objective third party could clarify or mediate is appropriate. Employees often come to the Ombuds Office to discuss interpersonal misunderstandings, feelings of abuse of power, or disagreements about policy, procedure or career concerns. People also visit the Ombuds Office when they are not sure where to find guidance, how to address problems, or what options are available.
What about confidentiality?
Confidentiality is respected and protected so that individuals can freely discuss issues without fear of retribution or loss of standing with friends, peers, or a supervisor. For this reason, confidentiality is assured to the extent of the law. No disclosure is made without the knowledge and consent of the person seeking assistance from the Ombuds Office. The Ombuds Office staff does not reveal the identity of those who visit the office or the contents of confidential communications. The only exception is when an Ombudsperson determines there is imminent risk of serious harm or injury.
Since the Ombudspersons are employed by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, can they really be impartial?
The Ombuds Office is a designated neutral and independent office, not part of the management chain-of-command at MD Anderson. The Office reports to the President, but maintains neutrality and confidentiality. No sides are taken as to who is "right" or "wrong." The Ombuds works to deliver the most informed options for resolving problems.
To whom does the Ombuds report, and what is reported?
The Ombuds Office reports to the President of the Institution. Ombuds Office activities, program strategies, and needed resources are discussed with the President, but identifying information regarding who visits the office or the nature of specific issues is never revealed.
What type of records does the MD Anderson Ombuds Office keep?
The MD Anderson Ombuds Office does not keep permanent records of confidential communications. It does keep summary statistical information, without names or departmental affiliation, to report general trends and program utilization. Office personnel may keep informal notes while working with an issue, but these notes are routinely destroyed upon completion of a matter.
Is it safe to send e-mails to the Ombuds Office?
You may schedule an appointment using our e-mail address (email@example.com), but please keep in mind that there is always a degree of risk that an e-mail will be seen by others. You should never rely upon e-mail as a resource for confidential communications. We prefer that you contact us by telephone or schedule an appointment to meet with us.
I would like to make a record of my problem with my supervisor. Can I do that by talking with an Ombuds?
No. Every discussion with an Ombuds is "off-the-record," and will not be shared with anyone else outside of the Ombuds Office. Also, due to the confidential, independent, and informal nature of the Ombuds Office, communication with the Ombuds Office does not place MD Anderson on "Official Notice" of any claim you may have. If you want to put a matter on the record, however, the Ombuds Office can help you to identify ways to do so.
May I take time off during work to see an Ombuds?
If you visit the Ombuds Office during your scheduled work hours, you must follow your departmental guidelines for being away from your workstation, including informing your supervisor. However, we recognize that there are times when you don't want anyone to know about a visit to the Ombuds Office, so we make every effort to see people during lunch hours or before or after work. The Ombuds Office staff is also available by appointment or telephone.
If I go to the Ombuds Office, will I still be able to use other Institutional resources to address my concern?
Yes, you may use the Ombuds Office before or after using other resources. Due to our confidentiality, you may consider using this office first.
Will the Ombuds represent me or advocate for my interests?
As we discuss your concerns, we will remain impartial and neutral. As Ombudspersons we are not advocates for employees or management. We work with all parties to resolve the issue in a timely manner.
I work for MD Anderson outside of the Texas Medical Center. How can I use the services of the Ombuds Office?
We are available to speak with employees at the Smithville and Bastrop campuses as well as the Regional Care Centers. You may speak with an Ombuds by calling the Ombuds Office on its toll-free line, 866-610-7841.

NY, SUNY union agree on a mostly flat labor deal
2 percent raises in 2014, 2015
Unionized workers at the State University of New York have agreed to a mostly flat new contract with the state.
The United University Professions union has agreed to 2 percent raises in 2014 and in 2015, while taking nine unpaid days to cut costs at SUNY. The union says salary for seven of those days will be repaid at the end of the contract.
Workers will also pay more for health insurance.
The union members won't get a raise for 2011 through the current year under Tuesday's deal.
Payments of $250 to $500 will be made to certain employees at the discretion of the chancellor, Nancy Zimpher.
UUP President Frederick Kowal says the contract preserves many of the members' health benefits.
He says the union expected givebacks because of continuing hard fiscal times.

AbstractWe have fabricated organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) operable at low-voltages in liquid solutions, suitable for in vitro biosensing applications. Measurements in electrolytes have shown that the performance of the transistors did not deteriorate and they can be directly used as ionsensitive transducers. Furthermore, more complex media have been tested, with the perspective of cell analysis. Degradation effects acting on the device operating in liquid could be partly compensated by adopting an alternate current measuring mode.

Deep Purple – Smoke On The Water [Video y Letra]
Video de Deep Purple – Smoke On The Water
Smoke On The Water es una canción del grupo británico Deep Purple que pertenece a su álbum de estudio titulado Machine Head lanzadoo en el año 1972. Este disco de Deep Purple cuenta con siete canciones donde Smoke On The Water es la quinta de ellas.
En YouTube Musica te presentamos el video y letra de la canción para que puedas seguirla.
Letra de Deep Purple – Smoke On The Water
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. When Superman exiled himself from Earth due to psychological problems he was suffering from at the time, he was forced by the despot Mongul to participate in his gladiatorial games on "Warworld". Draaga is the champion of the games, but when Superman defeats him and refuses to kill him, this baffles Draaga; whose code of honour demands a rematch against Superman, though he later comes to respect the hero. After Mongul is deposed by Superman, the aliens who control the artificial planet Warworld choose Draaga to be their new puppet ruler. Draaga eventually abandons the position to look for Superman, even finding the remains of Superman's costume (torn apart during his stay) and wearing them, in a sort of homage to the warrior who defeated him. After taking a "space taxi" he arrives on Earth.Much later Draaga is employed by Maxima to destroy Superman. The Superman he encounters here is actually the android Supergirl Matrix wearing Superman's form, who loses to Draaga on an asteroid.The second time Draaga loses on Warworld is in a contest held by Brainiac. Later Draaga joins Superman in the fight against Brainiac to regain his honor. He is killed while jumping into an organic anti-matter doomsday device created by Brainiac and is buried along with The Cleric, on the asteroid on which he first encountered Supergirl.


text: Ok so I'm making my very first shrug. I have just gotten to the part where I cast on for the sleeves. Well, I was getting ready to knit a row, when all of sudden that waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the beginning of the piece, I missed a purl row. I'm not prepared to rip that far back(it's literally like the third or fourth row where I missed that row). As I said, it's my first shrug, and it's only for me, so if fixing it means ripping it, then forget it. I'll deal with wearing a shrug that there's a mistake that only I, or a fellow knitter is likely to notice. So, here's my question.... I'm wondering, is there any possible way to add the missed purl row without ripping? I know the answer is probably no, but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance for the help. :)

After Roatan and Belize, we decided to take it easy in Cozumel. We slept late and took our time getting off the ship. We did a lot of shopping and ate at Pancho's Backyard in the terminal area. There is seating right on the water here with great views of the ship. The food is okay, but the margaritas and service are great. The guys playing music let our son and another little boy 'help' them play music.
I'm not sure why, but I couldn't find beer to go at the Puerta Maya terminal. Every shop I looked in did not have beer. If you exit the terminal, cross the street, turn left, and walk along the street a bit there is a little shop that sells beer for $1.50 or $2 per beer, depending on what you get. That was the best deal I could find near the terminal.

"And luckily, therefore the good old days return. The traditional art of driving counts again, and it is all about good tactics, skills and reflexes instead of simple power." -- Jacky Ickx
I received a Kindle Fire from my kids for my birthday. As a result, I've become the envy of my senior friends. Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate the gift. The problem is I don't know how to use it.
I tried reading the manual, and after struggling through the first three pages I gave up. To be perfectly frank, I simply don't understand computer language.
And since I'm not inclined to enroll in a computer class, I intend to do the next best thing -- have my grandson teach me. He's been using a computer for more than a year and learned it all on his own. Not bad for someone who just turned 8!
Nowadays it's not unusual to see people walking down the street chattering on cell phones or wrapped up in their iPads and seeming oblivious to where they are or who is around them. And to think that the boombox was a distraction!
I admit I'm old-fashioned. I expect to hear a live voice on the other end of the line when I make a call, instead of a recording asking me myriad questions before I forget why I called in the first place. Being told, "This call may be monitored ..." just adds to my frustration.
My wife and I held out applying for credit cards for the longest time. We were content to do all our purchases by cash or check without having to incur any more debts than we'd already accumulated.
I don't recall what caused us to switch, but since we've become plastic card users, we carry little money outside of pocket change for such purposes as feeding parking meters.
I recently heard that some meters now accept credit cards. That should come as no surprise knowing what it costs to park on downtown streets in most major cities. It won't be long before other cities follow suit to beef up their revenues.
With joint credit cards, I find it more unwieldy to keep an accurate account of our spending. The bank, on the other hand, has no problem, as proved by the statement it mails us at the end of each month. It's a far cry from the rule my wife and I once lived by: No cash -- no purchase.
I don't know how many readers are aware that movie houses used to employ attendants to usher patrons to their seats once the show started. Ushers were readily identifiable. They were the ones who walked around carrying flashlights, and some even wore uniforms.
Isn't it amazing how the cost of admission tickets has skyrocketed over the past 40 years. What's even more incredible is the price theaters now charge for popcorn and drinks! What ever happened to those double features and the blue Shirley Temple glasses the management gave away during intermission ... when popcorn sold at five cents a bag.
The post office is expecting to eliminate Saturday mail delivery to cut costs.
It's hard to believe that mailmen once carried all the mail in leather pouches and walked their routes in keeping with the slogan, "Neither rain nor snow ..."
With the availability of 24-hour fast food outlets and a complete assortment of microwaveable meals, family gatherings around the table to enjoy home-cooked meals is fast becoming an extinct practice.
Just a few random thoughts of life through the eyes of one senior citizen.
Doug Larson put it all in perspective when he said: "Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days."

Dear [[First_Name]],
We are continuing to monitor Mei Xiangs hormone levels very closely, but her hormones are still at baseline. Once Mei Xiangs hormones begin to rise we will know that she has entered estrus. Though she is still in the pre-estrus phase, Mei has started showing increased activity and we have noticed some physiological changes. Mei is not the only one getting a little restless. Tian Tian is showing some rutting behaviors; he is power-walking around his exhibit. All the signs indicate that we are getting closer to the first phase of breeding season.
Thank you so much for your interest in pandas and the Smithsonian's National Zoo!

by Samuel Beckett
Analysis: Genre
First, let us just note that the entire genre of tragicomedy might best be summed up by Nell's line early in the play: "Nothing is funnier than unhappiness… Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world" (1.194-196). The line contains the exact mixture of the morose and the comic that makes up the genre without quite explaining why unhappiness can be funny.
Now, the play is undoubtedly and undeniably a tragedy. There's no getting around it. It takes place after the end of the world. Everyone is dead except for four characters that are incredibly cruel to each other. There is, in fact, very little hope in the play. Beckett has imagined a situation in which things are already as bad as they can possibly get. What is more, the play ends on an ambiguous note. It's not even a decided tragedy. If Clov leaves Hamm, then Hamm and Nagg will die. And Clov will, too, out on his own. If Clov stays, then he simply continues to give in to the master who treats him so poorly. He simply prolongs their deaths a little longer.
And yet… Like Waiting for Godot before it, the play is tremendously funny. The characters never cease to search for ways to infuse their situations with humor. The comedy keeps the play from being so depressing as to be unwatchable. What's more, though, when we laugh with the characters, we are also relating to them, even in their extreme, exaggerated circumstances. Laughter is a way of drawing us, the audience, into the tragedy, forcing us to sympathize with these characters rather than just pitying them from a distance.

Man Boobz Pledge Drive
Welcome, my friends, to the first Man Boobz Pledge Drive!
I would like to take a moment from the usual goings on here at the Man Boobz blog to humbly ask any and all of you who enjoy this blog, and who can afford it, to consider clicking on the "donation" button below and sending a small (or a large) amount of money to help support this blog's continued existence.
As most of you know, I support myself as a freelance writer. But at the moment I am working on a project that will not be paying off for a long time. As a result, things are a little lean here at Man Boobz manor, and I've been dealing with a number of unexpected expenses. So anything you can throw my way, from $5 to $500,000, would be enormously appreciated.
Click below to donate through PayPal, using any major credit card. (And I am adding a permanent Donate button to the sidebar.)
If you cannot afford to donate, and I know some of you can't, that's fine too. Seriously. The fact is that many of you already contribute immeasurably to this blog with your (hilarious, insightful, biting) comments, here and on the forum. In case anyone is wondering, the comment count on this blog recently passed 125,000. One hundred and twenty-five fucking thousand! And most of them (trolls excluded) are pretty fucking awesome comments, as well. I know, because I read them all.
When I started this blog I had no idea that it would turn into a community, but now that it has it's the community here that keeps me going, even when I get utterly sick of the awful, awful people I write about regularly. I appreciate you all — you of the Man Boobz community, that is, not the awful misogynists — more than you realize.
Aww, I'm getting all sentimental.
In keeping with the Pledge Drive theme, I would like to present you with the trailer to a TV special I happened to run across (for reals) during a recent Pledge Drive on a local PBS station. It was so awesomely entertaining, I rented the DVD from Netflix shortly afterwards. Without further ado, here's Mitzi Gaynor, in all her kitschy 70s glory:

Done. Keep up the good work.
Twenty bucks. It's not much, but I'll give more once I have my paycheck.🙂
DOne! I wish it could be more, but RESCUE DOG and VET DEBT Is mounting up. Will try to do something in future–because I truly love hanging out here.
Keep up the good work, Futrelle. You are doing a valuable public service.
As are other members here who host similar blogs:

Cute video, but holy The Smurfette Principle http://www.feministfrequency.com/2011/04/tropes-vs-women-3-the-smurfette-principle
I donated 20 dollars… or however much that is in Swiss francs
Thank you for the website!
I donated my usual Manboobz donation amount.
Will there be tote bags?
An obligatory and rather sad They Might Be Giants song to go with the picture for this thread: Operators Are Standing By…
David I have a suggestion for a product in your store…a mug that says "take the pink pill" because it's PINK and pink=women=feminism!!!
Donated! Less than I would like, being a poor college student, but donated.
also a t-shirt that says "I rode the cock carousel and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"
This is the first pledge drive ever I think!
Also people might want to give some votes here to this HILARIOUS Urban dictionary MRA lolfest. The MRAs are spreading the word to go over and start voting. Don't forget there are three pages and the last pages need down votes, the first few need upvotes. You'll see what I mean.
Wow! people at Urban dictionary are sure giving these guys a bitch-slap, aren't they?
they must feel so oppressed by this.
I really wish I could donate to you! I love your work so much, and there are so many causes I'd like to support right now but I'm afraid I just don't have that much to give; the winter is never a good time for me financially.
But since you're planning on making a regular donate button, I will donate once my situation improves.
bwahahaha…that's their big fight eh? I upvoted. And I do it again.😀
it's always hilarious when MRAs try to deny their misogyny. It's like denying that water is wet. I mean, even feminists wont deny the few extremists in the movement, but MRAs can't even do that.
I'm loling at the comments on Chapin's video on the subject
2:03, you said yourself once Bernard "If you are always concerned about race, then you are a racist." You were right then and right now. Look at that and look at the intimidation tactics they use in the definition. That's right. Intimidation. In that if you argue at all with it, you qualify as that said definition. Tactics that don't work too well anymore. Know what it tells me? Tells me we are winning. And videos like yours are the reason.
A click of a mouse to downvote/upvote and making a definition on urban dictionary is an INTIMIDATION TACTIC YOU GUYS!!!! LOLOL
Oh man neither can I, it's so grating! Here is the vid
Happy to donate. 🙂
Seconding Morgan. Please keep the donate button up and I'll hit u as soon as I can, things are a little tight right now, so I'm afraid I can only make a little donation at a time.
I am sending a few bucks your way (sorry it isn't much!) because out of all the great feminist blogs I read, this one is by far my favourite. Keep up the good work!
This site brightens my day. I've never commented, but have always skulked around and privately enjoyed all the posts and comments. Keep it up!! Please!!!!!!! I wish I had more to give, this site certainly deserves it.
the struggling student who donated a tiny sum.
I wish I could help, but I have literally zero money right now. I'm getting by with help from my family. If not I'd totally help, cause I love this site.
David, thanks for running such an entertaining blog. I don't comment too often, but this blog, and it's very awesome regular, non-troll commenters are a blast.
Oh, and I actually made it through that video. His voice is so whiny and grating. So, in addition to a money donation, I will also donate this relevant partial transcript:
So these radicals, our enemies, have taken it upon themselves to lie to the general public to redefine the term. I just want you to know that. So while you're worried about free speech for them, this is what they're doing to you. I would never do that tactic. I'd let them say what they wanted to. But I wouldn't lie about their positions.
Feminists are just lying about the MRAs and redefining the term! Yeah, you'd never lie to the general public to redefine feminism! You would never do that tactic! (Transcriber's note: That is a really weird phrase. "I would never do that tactic!" Haha.)
Less than a minute later…
Well, feminism isn't about women's rights; it's about privilege for socialist feminists who are incapable of working. That's my definition.
Wait, remember that tactic you said you would never, uh, do? You. . . just did do that tactic.
Bonus quote!
… Now they loop it in with the KKK, that's great. White Pride, that's great.
Why do I get the feeling the "III" on his flag represents the 3rd Reich? Oh, maybe because he's a white guy with a shaved head who thinks being "looped in" with the KKK is "great".
YAY we got Chapin's Inferno spicing up the donations thread, it's a real manboobz telethon, keep those donations coming, and don't forget to click the link to urbandictionary mra entries and upvote now!
If I manage to secure a summer job, a donation to this site will come right after! I really enjoy coming here and talking to y'all, and that's worth a little money to me!
I have long had a theory that there is a strong correlation between being a giant tool and using the American flag (current or past) as a background while you rant. One more data point in favor.
Just donated 10 USD. I wish I could spare more, since this place brightens my day for a number of reasons.
Just donated too, not as much as I would have liked to. This place has been good for my mental health.🙂

Song of Solomon (Song of Songs)
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter:Verse)
Quote #7
I come to my garden, my sister, my bride; I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and be drunk with love. (NRSV 5:1)
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (KJV 5:1)
Yup. Looks like they did it.
Quote #8
I slept, but my heart was awake. Listen! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night." I had put off my garment; how could I put it on again? I had bathed my feet; how could I soil them? My beloved thrust his hand into the opening, and my inmost being yearned for him. I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt. I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and was gone. (NRSV 5:2-6)
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. (KJV 5:2-6)
The bride hears the groom knocking and asking her to open the door (sexual innuendo much?). She hesitates a little, but he pushes inside anyhow… and she's pretty into it. We wonder if she's been reading Fifty Shades of Grey?
Quote #9
My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies. I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he pastures his flock among the lilies. (NRSV 6:2-3)
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. (KJV 6:2-3)
If the lilies represent the bride's lady parts, then the flock must be the groom's… well, you get the idea.

Planned Residential Construction Up 34 Per Cent in 2010
January 20, 2011
City issued permits for $2.73 billion of construction
Edmonton's construction industry may be on the upswing. In 2010, the City of Edmonton issued building permits for almost $2.73 billion worth of construction projects – an increase of 11 per cent over 2009.
The increase was entirely due to residential construction projects, which were up 34 per cent to a total of $1.76 billion. Non-residential projects were down 15 per cent from 2009, totaling only $970 million. Most of the drop in non-residential construction was due to less spending on institutional construction projects.
"Even though the year ended on a bit of a slow note, 2010 was actually a very good year for Edmonton overall and we are seeing positive signs that construction is picking up again," said Scott Mackie, Manager of the City's Current Planning Branch.
The increase in total building permit value is even more noteworthy because other cities have not experienced the same trend – including Calgary which had a 20 per cent decrease in total permit value last year.
While total building permit value does not directly reflect how much was actually spent on construction projects, it is an indicator of how much construction spending is planned. Builders have one year after a building permit is issued to start construction before the permit expires.
"The only disappointment was the decline in non-residential construction. Hopefully we will see more industrial and commercial projects happening in 2011. These kinds of projects are important for our city's economy," added Mackie.
Anyone building a new structure or modifying an existing building within Edmonton must get a building permit from the City, with the exception of the University of Alberta. Due to this exemption, construction projects at the university are not captured in the City's building permit values.

ABC is airing the World War II drama "Saving Private Ryan" Thursday night, to mark Veterans Day. But more than 20 network affiliates around the country won't be carrying it.
They're afraid they'll get in trouble with the Federal Communications Commission because of the film's violence and profanity.
ABC has carried the movie twice before. But some broadcasters think the FCC's tough new stand against obscenity and profanity could bring sanctions this time.
The president of Citadel Communications, which has three ABC affiliates in the Midwest, says he wanted to show the movie. Ray Cole tells AP Radio it's a "patriotic, artistic tribute to our fighting forces." But he says the FCC wouldn't promise not to punish stations that show it.
Under ABC's deal with director Steven Spielberg, the film can't be edited.
Several stations say ABC rejected their request to air it after 10 p.m.

Matt Fraction: Invincible Iron Man & Iron Man Movie Sequel
by Matt Brady
Date: 08 October 2008 Time: 04:00 PM ET
Matt Fraction: Iron Writer
When Marvel announced a second ongoing series featuring Iron Man, fans were somewhat skeptical. As a lead character, Iron Man's always been something of a second banana behind Spider-Man, the X-Men and even Captain America.But what raised eyebrows was the announcement of Matt Fraction as the writer of Invincible Iron Man. What raised them further – and quieted the fears of many – was the first issue, which blended elements from Tony Stark's past (Obadiah Stane's son, Ezekiel) with the looming future, where someone called "Iron Man" and all of his vaunted technology begins to look quaint. What's rolled out in the series first five issues – "The Five Nightmares" is the name of the arc – has been a tour de force as Fraction, along with artist Salvador Larocca, has made his mark with Iron Man, keeping him true to his comic book legacy, but yet contemporary with his Hollywood present and future.

By LIZ BUTTON
Gail Topol, one of four elementary school teachers suspended eight months ago after being accused of "improperly coaching" students on state tests, has signed a settlement agreement with the Rye City School District to return to the classroom, but at a special Board of Education meeting called for the morning of Jan. 27, one board member was ready to postpone the impending vote.
Board member Edward Fox expressed concerns that, given the circumstances of the negotiations, the public might be inclined to suspect the proposed agreement was a "sweetheart deal" involving board President Laura Slack, the wife of appointed Rye City Councilman Richard Slack, and Kerri Ann Law, wife of Republican Mayor Joe Sack, who represented Topol in negotiations.
Fox's statements were swiftly repudiated by the mayor and board president and criticized further at a regularly scheduled school board meeting the following night as past and present board members, and some community members, showed up to speak on behalf of Laura Slack and to champion the integrity of the board's decision-making process.
In his comments at the Jan. 27 special meeting, Fox said the appearance of impropriety stems from the mayor's consideration, and ultimate appointment, of Richard Slack to the City Council while, at the same time, negotiations between Sack's wife, as Topol's lawyer, which directly or indirectly involved Laura Slack, were ongoing. At no time, Fox said, were school board members made aware of these circumstances.
Fox urged Laura Slack to recuse herself from participation in any further discussion or action concerning any of the suspended teachers and suggested the vote on the agreement be tabled pending an independent investigation into the negotiations that preceded it.
"If this agreement is approved under these circumstances, the public will be left to wonder if the employee was unfairly held hostage, at significant expense to the district, until a particular benefit was provided," he said.
The school board approved the agreement that morning by a margin of six votes to zero, with Fox abstaining.
Topol, a third grade teacher at Osborn School, along with Osborn fourth grade teacher Carin Mehler, Milton School fourth grade teacher Shannon Gold, and Dana Coppola, who teaches third grade at Milton, were accused of improper coaching while proctoring state tests administered in April 2013 after a parent brought forth allegations that May.
Ten days prior to the approval of the Topol settlement, on Jan. 17, Gold, the only one of the four tenured teachers to be charged by the district, was the first teacher to conclude her ordeal by signing a resignation agreement with the school board in which neither party admitted any wrongdoing. The other two teachers remain suspended with pay.
Mayor Sack responded to Fox's statement in a speech delivered at the Jan. 29 City Council meeting. He said there is no conflict of interest, nor even the appearance of a conflict of interest, since the issue involves separate and unrelated circumstances to which he was not privy.
Sack said he took exception to Fox's statement that "other similarly situated [district] employees will wonder if they are being treated different because they have a different lawyer who cannot deliver a City Council seat or some other benefit to a board member or the board member's family members."
According to Sack, while Fox's statement contained many hypothetical suppositions and scenarios, this particular part was a concrete allegation; essentially, Sack said, Fox is accusing him of a felony.
"I never had any communications with Kerri about the substance of her representation of her client, and I certainly never had any communications with Kerri—express, implied or otherwise—about exchanging a settlement in the Topol matter for a council seat for Richard Slack," Sack said Wednesday night.
Sack led the "Rye United" Republican ticket that swept into office in the November 2013 elections on a platform of bringing increased transparency and accountability to city government, which had been rocked in 2013 by a financial scandal at the Rye Golf Club, a conflict of interest pertaining to a police uniform bid alleged to be compromised by the involvement of an auxiliary police officer, and the hiring of non-profit International City/County Management Association to aid in the city's search for a new police commissioner.
Sack was the initiator of the latter becoming an issue, calling out City Manager Scott Pickup back in December for failing to disclose that he was a member of ICMA; the city manager had recommended the firm to the City Council.
Sack has stated that an appearance of a conflict of interest is as egregious as a real conflict of interest, given the climate of scandal in which the city has been embroiled in over the past two years.
Sack's runningmate, Councilwoman Julie Killian, a Republican, said she did not know Sack's wife Kerri Ann Law represented Topol during the period preceding Richard Slack's appointment. However, Killian affirmed she fully supports Richard Slack's appointment and stands behind her vote for him.
"I reject any notion of a special deal or quid pro quo between the Slack and Sack families. I am equally outraged by Mr. Fox's suggestion that members of both the school board and the City Council can somehow be bought," she added.
At the regularly scheduled school board meeting on Jan. 28, Councilman Terry McCartney, a Republican who took office this year, asserted it was he, not Joe Sack, who proposed Richard Slack for the spot, all the while totally unaware that Sack's wife was representing Topol.
"Joe Sack is an honorable person. He constantly…for the past six or seven months since I have gotten involved in Rye politics, goes out of his way to avoid the appearance of impropriety, beyond what I think is necessary in many instances," McCartney, who also ran on the Rye United ticket with Sack, said.
Laura Slack also responded to what she called Fox's "outrageous allegations without one shred of proof that anything unethical or improper occurred," stating the board was fully informed of all developments related to the negotiations and acted properly in approving the settlement. She said she has conducted herself with propriety and in compliance with board policy at all times.
In the course of his Jan. 27 statement, Fox suggested that Board Policy 2160 "Disclosure of Interest and Actions of the Board of Education" may have been violated.
The policy states that, a Board of Education member, or any school district employee who participates in a discussion or gives an official opinion to the board on any resolution or action before the board shall go on the record regarding any direct or indirect financial or private interest he or she may have, to the best of his or her knowledge.
Laura Slack's statement was supported by Superintendent Dr. Frank Alvarez, as well as the other five Board of Education members, each of whom made his or her own statement repudiating Fox's Jan. 27 remarks and affirming the non-biased decision-making process of the board and of themselves as individual members.
Members of the community and former board members, like former board president Josh Nathan, also came to the podium to proclaim support of Slack and to refute Fox's Jan. 27 statement.
But according to Fox, the show of support for Laura Slack at Tuesday's school board meeting was an orchestrated affair and invitations were extended to Slack's friends and colleagues.
"They put on a show rather than to actually address the facts," Fox said. "There is no exception in the policy for a board member in these circumstances who shows up with testimonials or character witnesses to excuse them. The board member can be as honest as the day is long but in the circumstances, the policy says this is [what you do]."
Fox said he initially brought up his concern because, regardless of how he feels about the situation with the suspended teachers, he is concerned with how the board does business.
"[This issue] happens to laterally and coincidentally have an impact on the city…Elected officials are supposed to do their business in public and, to my mind, this is an issue that affects the public that was brought to my attention," he said
The district has not publicly commented on Topol's settlement, except to state that the two parties have reached an amicable resolution, but both Topol and the district "have agreed not to comment upon the matter further."
The Rye City Review filed a Freedom of Information Law request for the Topol agreement on Jan. 27 but, as of press time, has not yet received a copy of the document.

I recently edited Woocommerce's Products On-Sale widget making it display random products marked on-sale by changing the line 'orderby' => 'date', to 'orderby' => 'rand',. Now I want to edit the Featured Products widget to do the same. However, I can't seem to get it to work. I have changed to the code to:
$query_args['meta_query'][] = array(
'key' => '_featured',
'value' => 'yes',
'orderby' => 'rand'
but it still does not display random products marked featured. Can anyone please help me out. Thanks in advance!
