cigar box thrifted this week for three dollars!
Living in Kentucky is fun near Derby time~
(more so if your dad is living and planning family get-togethers...but the memories remain!)
Our family always grilled then and everyone brought side-items
and we had fun choosing our horse and
making some wee bets as we watched the
race together.
Other people?
They have Mint Juleps and some have
Benedictine sandwiches.
They are so named because of a lady~Miss Jennie C. Benedict~ from Louisville, Ky. (pronounced by locals as "Louaville")
who held tea parties and served these creations
of her own in the late eighteen hundreds.
Got that?
They are scrumptious and happy and fresh.
I highly recommend you gathering
the supplies and making some for
your own Derby viewing!
Now, Miss Jennie took that
original recipe with her when
she went to that big Derby in the sky.
Even so, it is simple and my version
here comes from Southern Living magazine.
It should be
noted you can thin it with sour cream
and mayonnaise and use it for a dip with
special crackers or chips.
Kentucky Benedictine Tea Sandwiches
Makes 8 dozen (that oughtta be enough...)
2~ 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1~cup peeled, seeded and finely chopped cucumber
1/2 cup minced green onions
1/4 chopped fresh dill
2 T mayonnaise
1/2 t salt
1/2 t freshly ground pepper
48 white bread slices
(I understand that for many years we took the
crust off but that now it is on again! I keep hearing that God is in the details and I do want to be with Him so my crusts will remain!)
*Stir together first seven ingredients.
Spread mixture on one side of twenty-four
bread slices: top with remaining slices.
Cut each sandwich into four triangles with
a serrated knife.

Wazeefa is the repetition of sacred words and phrases like quranic verses or names of ALLAH or zikar of ALLAH for spiritual help or various personal and worldly needs or problems. In other words wazeefa is to read a particular dua in a prearranged manner constantly for a specific period of time.
Wazeefa is a very special part of any healing technique.Any quranic wazeefa that is not in accordance with the sunnah is not acceptable. It shows your doubt in the completion of ISLAM and implies disrespect towards ALLAH and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). The person who is practicing it is suggesting that ALLAH and His Prophets have forgotten to address some issues and hence he is seeking help from spiritual healers which in turn are trying to prove that they are capable of doing what our Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) wasn't.. These wazeefas are given in various counts e.g 11,19,70,200,313 363, 786, 1000 etc.
Muslim mystics believe that one can summon demons and jinns by reciting a certain passage of the Quran one hundred or thousand times. The jinn sometimes shows himself and sometimes keeps himself hidden. The jinns silently begin to create destruction in the lives of those who summon them intentionally/innocently by these wazeefas. The jinns are attracted to continuous repetition of a specefic wazeefa over and over again. On the termination of that specific wazeefa, the jinns create such havoc in the life of that person, that they are forced to continue the wazeefa.
There are times, when a person becomes addicted to a specefic wazeefa and gradually begins to leave obligatory duties. He would rather recite the wazeefa instead of saying his prayers. Wazeefas are known to create physical problems too. Pain in joints, drying up of eyes, feeling lethargic. are some of the problems caused by this unauthenticated act. The only reason is that jinns possesses a human body through these wazeefas.The body is not able to withstand the presence of this new entity and begins to deteriorate.
(Hadith: Never try to exceed Allah and His Prophet`s ways)
Have you ever been curious about the origin of these numbers? And what the implications of this practice can be?
"Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds!" [18:104]
For instance repeating a wazeefa 363 or 313 times is most popularly given to youth (especially women) by spiritual healers. People are unaware of the consequences of these practices and they end up with various physical and spiritual problems and by doing so they create more problems for themselves instead of getting a solution. These could be the ways to call upon magic or invoke jinns that are associated with this number as well.
Facts about 19
Many people have been seen reciting a verse 19 times. The number 19 has been used in Quran but not on a positive note.
And what will make you know exactly what Hell-fire is? It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)! Burning the skins! Over it are nineteen (keepers of Hell).[Surah Mudassir: 27-30]
Now is it clear where these number are really coming from. Reciting a verse or any zikr for a calculated quantity is not a part of our religion and its teachings.
Facts about 70
Another common wazeefa being practiced is reciting anything 70 times.
You can ask forgiveness for them, or not ask forgiveness for them. Even if you asked forgiveness for them seventy times, ALLAH still would not forgive them. That is because they have rejected Allah and His Messenger ( صلى الله عليه وسلم). Allah does not guide deviant people.
Healers justify preaching these repetitions for a specific number of times because the numbers are found in Quran. This justification is invalid and illogical. Seventy is used as a metaphor for a large number in the verse given above. Why would healers choose numbers that are used in a negative context in Quran?
Facts about 363
Here is a number that is not found in Quran. Why would healers ask youngster to recite a verse 363 times?
363 is the numerical presentation of Thoth, an ancient Egyptian diety associated with magic, science and the law. He holds the balance of the scales of justice between good and evil. Thoth is concerned with NOT ALLOWING EITHER GOOD OR BAD TO TRUIMPH- only maintaining the equilibrium between the two (ever wondered why your problems are not being permanently solved).
Yesod is the foundation of Kabbalah. In Christian Kabbalah, Yesod is compared to the 'Holy Spirit' (←click)
To read more about Yesod (←click)
Healers use these numbers in wazeefas for paying respect to the so called 'god' associated with that number and in some cases they use it to invoke that 'god' for help.
Kabbalah is not Islam = 363 IS NOT Islam.
LIKEWISE other counts given are somehow related to something supernatural and evil too. One should be very careful while reciting any wazeefa,.You never know what does it invoke, You never know the consequences, maybe they are good for the time being, but they could seriously affect your life too. To be on safer and ALLAH`s side, follow the sunnah strictly as it is the only right path.
Abdullah bin Amar (RA) relates that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said "Surely things will happen to my people as happened earlier to Israelites, they will resemble each other like one shoe in a pair resembles the other to the extent that if anyone among the Israelites has openly committed adultery to his mother there will be some who will do this in my Ummah as well, verily the Israelites were divided into 72 sections but my people will be divided into 73 sections, all of them will be in the fire except one." The companions asked,'Who are they Messenger of Allah,' Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) said, "They are those who will be like me and my companions."
Vain repetitions are forbidden by ALLAH, and are the tools and practices of heathens (pagans) and these repeated "chants" or prayers will NOT be heard by ALLAH. But they will certainly be heard by the satan and his jinns.
"Once a lady went to a healer due to her marital problems. He gave her a wazeefa consisting of ALLAH's names and a quranic verse. The day she practiced the wazeefa (recited it at a specefic time for a specific amount) something happened to her husband and he started yelling at her and kicked her out of the house. After a month he brought her back. She went back to the healer and complained on which the healer told her that is the part of her husband's healing. She should continue. She continued the wazeefa and now its been a year since her separation. Practices against the Sunnah will invite ALLAH's wrath not his blessings! "
You will ask what did the healer get out of this. The truth is these healers have jinns/satanic forces working for them. The more destruction they create in Muslim families the more power they get and more wishes are fulfilled.
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), said: "Iblees (Satan) has his throne above the water ( at sea) and sends forth his detachments. The closest of them to him (at day's end) are those who cause the greatest trial. One of them comes back to him and says: 'I did such and such. Satan replies: "You've done nothing.' Then another comes to him and says: 'I did not leave him along until I caused division between him and his wife…… So Satan draws him close and says: "Well done!"
Some people practice Wazeefas when done with their obligatory prayer. They do not get up from that place and initiate their wazeefa by sitting their for a long time and reciting the same thing over and over again. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) did not allow a person to continue units of an obligatory prayer without talking in the middle. Then how can this practice be valid.
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ordered us not to join one prayer with another prayer without leaving or speaking (in between)." [ Muslim and Abu Dawood]
Quantity does not matter. Quality matters. Those who have been told to recite a particular verse a 1000 times begin to make mistakes in the pronunciation of the verse because their aim is to finish the wazeefa. Hence they speed up the process by ignoring the rules of tajweed or even the rules of recitation and without knowing it completely change the meaning of the verses or zikr.
Abu Huraira reported ALLAH's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When any one of you gets up at night (for prayer) and his tongue falters in (the recitation) of the Qar'an, and he does not know what he is reciting, he should go to sleep.
He who revived a Sunnah out of my Sunan, which has died after me, for him is the reward like the reward of those who acted upon it, without any decrease in that reward. He who introduced some innovation which Allah and His Messenger did not approve has (a burden of sin upon himself and the sins of one who acted according to it, without their sins being mitigated thereby in the least. SOURCE Transmitted by Tirmidhi.
The trend of distributing innovated duroods is rapidly picking speed day by day. Innocent muslims who are a little ignorant regarding the knowledge of Islam are easily adopting ways that have no basis in our religion. Innovation in Islam is the invention, creation or addition of any religious matter which was not (originally) found in Islam. Therefore, Islam warns against it and invalidates any religious deed which does not originate from the Qur'aan and the Sunnah.
Prophet Mohammad, صلى الله عليه وسلم, says in this respect: "He who innovates something that is not in agreement with our matter (religion), will have it rejected." [Al-Bukharee and Muslim]
In Quran ALLAH says:
"This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."
Therefore, any innovation introduced into the religion implies that Islam is imperfect and incomplete.
When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was asked how we should send blessings, instead of saying, you can send durood and salutations the way you desire, he gave a CLEAR and DEFINITE answer (seen in the hadith given below). Unfortunately Muslims have put behind the practices and teachings of The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) to follow others. All the innovated duroods have no standing in our religion. They were not taught by The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) or practiced by The Companions. Not a single hadith narrates them.
Durood Tanjain is one of the most popular innovated duroods practiced by Muslims today. The story behind the durood is:
"I was in a ship which was sinking. I lapsed into semi consciousness. Rasoolullah (S.A.W.) appeared to me in this state and taught me the following Durood which the Prophet(P.B.U.H) said should be recited 1000 times by the passengers of the ship. The passengers had barely recited the Durood 300 times and the ship was saved (miraculously)."
Following three points should be analyzed:
1. Imagine yourself in a ship that is sinking, can you go to sleep at a time of severe panic?
2. Can you memorize the durood in an instance? If he was a gifted person then how were all the passengers able to memorize it in seconds. It took that long for the ship to sink?
3. Why would the Prophet (peace be upon him) teach durood e ibraheem to The Companions and teach a secret new durood to someone else OR did the Prophet (peace be upon ) forget to tell the Ummah that there are way better duroods out there that will save you compared to durood ibraheemi. Did the Prophet (peace upon him) not carry out his full task and now has taken to coming in people's dreams to teach the rest of the worship techniques?
4. Namaz is the best and valid act of worship. We were taught to recite Durood Ibraheemi in salat. Why not recite these innovated duroods in salat? They seem to have much more rewards!
Exaggeration of Durood Ghausia
The translation of another innovated durood is:
"O Allah! Send thy blessings on our Master, Muhammad, whose light was created before anything else in this world and whose appearance became mercy and signal boon for all the creatures, equivalent to all those created previously and hereafter equal in number with the lucky and unlucky ones; and send thy blessing and bounties on him in the number which is impossible to be counted even, and which may be spread all over, and also that kindness and mercy which has neither beginning nor end, and which is always fresh and fine with your kindness, and the same blessings on his Family and Companions permanently".
Narrated Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas: Ibn Sa'd said: My father (Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas) heard me say: O Allah, I ask Thee for Paradise, its blessings, its pleasure and such-and-such, and such-and-such; I seek refuge in Thee from Hell, from its chains, from its collars, and from such-and-such, and from such-and-such. He said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: There will be people who will exaggerate in supplication. You should not be one of them. If you are granted Paradise, you will be granted all what is good therein; if you are protected from Hell, you will be protected from what is evil therein. (Sunan Abu Dawud)
The words (durood ibraheemi) taught by Our Prophet (peace be upon him) are free from exaggeration too.
Durood-e- Radawiyya
The New duroods are encouraged to be recited by exaggerating their reward. It is said that reciter of Durood-e- Radawiyya will be blessed with 300 Mercies of Almighty Allah and 5,000 good deeds are written in his Naama-e-Amaal.
Where did this calculation come from. Is it a hadith? Did the innovator take a glance at the nama amal of the reciters of this durood?
Any act of worship that was not found in these three generations will be rejected and labeled as innovations. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) was alive at that time to correct any of the Companions if they made a mistake or introduced anything that was not allowed.After the death of The Prophet of ALLAH (peace be upon him), the Companions did not invent new ways of worship and were very strict regarding the Sunnah because now, The Prophet (peace be upon him) was not present anymore to validate such acts.
Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman said, "Every act of worship that the Companions did not do, do not do it" [Abu Dawood]
Verily, the best words are those of ALLAH; the best guidance is that of Muhammad ; the worst matters {of creed or worship} are those innovated {by people}; for, every such innovated matter is a bidah; and every bidah is a misguidance that shall reside in the fire.

This BB cream has a really wonderful texture, moisturizing and really evens out my skin despite being half a shade darker than my skin tone. It doesn't have SPF or very good lasting power, but it gets the job done when I'm in a rush in the morning or too lazy to put on liquid foundation. It can be a little heavy if you're piling on products (for example, I use a BHA exfoliator & moisturizer/sunscreen serum under) which is why I always finish with a translucent powder in the end. I don't think I will be repurchasing from this brand, but I don't regret this buy either.3
I've sampled a ton of BB creams, trying to find the right one and this one was the best by far. It has a nice coverage, not too sheer and not to heavy. It goes on fairly smooth and blends well. I got the light-medium shade and it looked great on my skin after the summer. I'm hoping it will look good once I turn pale again in a couple months. I wish this did have SPF though..5

Streets for MLK name change suggested
Paul Catala
Highlands Today
January 23, 2014
AVON PARK - Just three days after celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day around the state and the nation, the effort to rename a city street for the civil rights leader is becoming more focused.
In what Avon Park City Manger Julian Deleon called the "hottest ticket" at the Jan. 27 city council meeting, during the citizens-outside agencies portion of the meeting, council members will be presented with four options for possibly renaming a street.
Maria Sutherland, Avon Park director of administrative services, said the streets were selected based on public comments at council and Community Redevelopment Agency meetings. The options are: the intersection of south Lake Avenue and Hal McRae Boulevard, through South Lake, Tulane Drive, south Verona Avenue and ending a Main Street; the intersection of south Delaney Avenue and Main Street, south to Ernest E. Sims Street; changing Memorial Boulevard from Main Street and Memorial ending south at Cornell Street; and the intersection of south Lake Boulevard and Hal McRae through south Lake Boulevard, through Tulane Drive and east Hal McRae Avenue, ending at Memorial Avenue.
Sutherland said the chosen streets are subjected to change and there would be a lot more discourse before any name change - if at all - occurs.
"It's (the streets) just a base to start from. You have to start somewhere; they're talking points for the council to start with," she said.
In 2008 during the 911 Duplicate Street Name Project, when nearby cities were asked to rename streets with the same name to avoid confusion in emergency situations, renaming a street for King was dropped by the city council at that time.
Avon Park City Manger Julian Deleon said Wednesday he didn't think named roadways should be stripped of their local heritage names, such as W. L. Kirkland, Joe Hilton, Fred Conner, Booker, Ed Carter and Ernest E. Sims streets and Fogle and Cummins avenues.
Deleon said city staff has gotten "strong opposition from relatives" of the late Avon Park Mayor Edgar A. Delaney Sr., mayor of Avon Park for 28 years. When asked outside of city hall about the proposed changes Wednesday, Delaney's grandson, Kris Delaney, didn't want to comment until he spoke with his family, but did cite a few of his grandfather's accomplishments while serving.
Edgar Delaney was born 1891 and died in 1979; he served from 1943 to 1947 and again during the years of civil unrest, from 1953 to 1967. During that time he helped establish the former Walker Memorial Hospital, the Florida Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center, South Florida Community College, and was named Highlands County "Man of the Year" in 1952 - the same year the Montgomery Bus Boycott protest actions in Birmingham. Ala., began.
When told Wednesday afternoon about the proposed options for renaming, Highlands County NAACP President Aljoe Hinson said most of the Southside community has always been behind renaming Delaney Avenue. He said the issue should have been settled in 2008. That year, the name change was voted on during the 911 Duplicate Street Name Project, when nearby cities were asked to rename streets with the same name to avoid confusion in emergency situations.
"I'm with the community; the option we have is Delaney. The Southside community is who needs to be heard. The concerns of the citizens say Delaney," said Hinson, who's served as NAACP president since 2009. "It was a business avenue and a main street for the black residents from downtown into the community during MLK. That's the route we took."
Deleon said to help resolve the situation, city staff is asking city council to rank the four options.
"The changing of Delaney Avenue will be an option, along with changing Hal McRae would be another option," he said. "The other two options will not involve changing the name of a road which was named after a local community leader."
Currently, Avon Park has no established protocol for the renaming of streets, said Sutherland, She said City Attorney Gerald Buhr would bring some guidelines to the council based on other cities in order make the change should that be decided.

THE BEST: 4. Antonio Cromartie, CB. Smith took a huge chance with the No. 19 overall pick of the 2006 draft, given that Cromartie had missed the last year of his career at Florida State with a blown-out ACL and not taken part in the NFL Combine. No matter what anybody thought of Cromartie before – or since – it was electrifying to see him return that just-shy field goal 109 yards for a TD. Not to mention his team-record 10 interceptions that season, four off Peyton Manning, three in one game.

DiaVisViewPlugin - Renders dia and vdx files
This plugin automatically creates a bitmapped render of Dia and MS Visio VDX diagrams when attaching them to objects in Trac.
This has taken the original DiaViewPlugin and modified it for use with Trac 0.11, and at the same time included support for vdx and compressed files.
It has had very little testing. It has been set up as a separate hack to the original DiaViewPlugin so as not to break DiaViewPlugin for Trac < 0.11.
If the width was changed in the macro argument the displayed image would scale, however the source file stayed the same. To overcome this the width is checked using the image library, and if different it is re-rendered. Please see the link below for the image library.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for DiaVisViewPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Download and Source
Download the [download:diavisviewplugin zipped source], check out using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
To install download the archive, then either $ python setup.py install or copy it to the plugins directory of the particular project
Do not forget to enable the macro in trac.ini in the components section like this:
diavisview.* = enabled
Also ensure that dia (diagram editor) and the Python Imaging Library (cf. link above) are installed.
Attach a file you wish to display to the page as per normal. The files can be either dia or vdx, compressed or uncompressed.
Make suitable macro entries in the page. If a number is given after the filename it will be taken as the width. Please see the main image macro for all the options.

DENVER, Colo. (KUSA) - Denver prosecutors have charged Sean Mueller with one count of violating the Colorado Organized Crime Act, one count of securities fraud, and two counts of theft. A judge has set Mueller's bond at $2 million.
He is expected in a Denver courtroom on Friday morning to be formally advised of the charges. The Denver Post is reporting that Elway and a partner invested as much as $15 million with Mueller as late as March.
Elway's attorney has filed a motion in an effort to recoup what are largely considered to be substantial losses. That motion asks a judge to allow Elway and his partner to, in essence, move to the front of the line because their investment was made separate from the ones made by other investors.
"These funds were to be privately managed in more conservative investments than the other Investor's funds," read the motion. Weeks after the two invested with Mueller, Mueller became the focus of a Ponzi scheme investigation. All of the funds were subsequently frozen.
There is likely to be more scrambling as investors try to recoup their losses. Court documents say 65 investors invested $71 million with Mueller. As of April, Mueller had only $9 million in cash and investments.
"[Mueller] played golf at Cherry Hills Country Club. He played tennis at Greenwood Athletic Club. These are some of the wealthiest people in the area and that's where he came in contact with them," Dow Jones Newswires Columnist Al Lewis said.

Launch of Buildings Must Die: A Perverse View of Architecture.
Please join us for some reflections on the book, a bite and a toast on Friday 29 May at Loysel's Toy Cafe. See you there!
Buildings Must Die: A Perverse View of Architecture
Stephen Cairns and Jane M. Jacobs
MIT Press, 2014
"Buildings Must Die is indeed a perverse work on architecture, architecture at its most raw and elemental, at the point of its decay and destruction, sometimes quickly, with spectacular effect, and sometimes slowly. Architecture is never fully living, and is always passing out of existence; as it makes, so what it makes is inevitably unmade. This book is a fascinating, articulate exploration of this movement of creative destruction that haunts the very project of architecture."
—Elizabeth Grosz, author of Architecture from the Outside

I want to download music on my laptop for free and safely but I don't know what site is the best. Where can I go?
Comments for this Question are closed.
Mp3Begins.com is a music search engine allows you to unlimited music and download for free with youtube to mp3 converter.
soundcloud.com is undoutedly a good audio webiste which allows you to download. And you can also use ESFsoft Soundcloud Downloader (http://www.esfsoft.com), it is specially designed for soundcloud and can download all mp3 online from it.
If you want to download music from YouTube , try free youtube to mp3 converter!
Highly suggest ESFSoft Soundcloud Downloader (http://www.esfsoft.com/). I usually try sounddownloader (http://www.sounddownloader.com) as well, because both of them are freeware. In comparison, the download manager that ESFSoft created is much better, for it can convert soundcloud to MP3, WMA, WAV and other audio formats.
I would suggest you to use Torch browser instead of chrome, because you can use it to download directly from sites like pandora and grooveshark, which I find to be very safe.
If you're using a windows OS, than you can use torch browser- it's a very cool browser that I found recently that lets you DL music from any site you want (pandora, grooveshark, soundcloud etc.).
here you can listen and download free mp3 songs from million of songs :)
Spotify. You have to download it though. But whatever.
If you need royalty-free music to 0 EUR you can download the songs of:

Medigap Insurance in Georgia
Medigap insurance can be found in similar forms in not only Georgia but also every state around our nation. Medigap refers to the private supplemental health insurance plans that are sold to those receiving benefits from Medicare in order to cover medical expenses that are not covered by Medicare, or are only partially covered by it. The name Medigap derives from the idea that this insurance is bought in order to cover the gaps in Medicare.
In order to be eligible to purchase Medigap in Georgia, a person must be previously enrolled in part A and part B of Medicare. A person can obtain a Medigap plan on a guaranteed issue basis (that is, with no medical screening required) during the open enrollment period, which begins within 6 months of turning 65, or when enrolling in Medicare Part B at 65 or older. Outside of this open enrollment period, a medical screening or an additional statement from the physician might be necessary for the insurance company to issue a policy. For those under the age of 65, purchasing Medigap insurance is more tricky. Private companies are not required to sell Medigap policies to people under 65, and even if they do, they may use medical screenings. Despite this, many states require that any private insurers offering Medigap offer at least one plan to those receiving Medicare under the age of 65.
It is also important to note that Medigap insurance is not compatible with some other types of Medicare coverage for example, if you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you would not be able to reap any benefits by purchasing a Medigap plan.
If you are planning on purchasing Medigap in Georgia, it is important to research the options you have available to you. By contacting Georgia Medicare Supplements for a free quote today, we can bring you well on your way to purchasing the best plan for your condition.

6) MOHALI: Residential rates at Chandigarh have gone through the roof and there is little scope for appreciation for now. Moreover, because Chandigarh is a planned city conceived on certain density specifications, which give rise to limitations on development. It is therefore not dynamic in real estate terms, which means it will not change much with time.
Chandigarh could not partake in the IT boom for these reasons. However, adjoining Mohali presents a completely different picture. The area called Greater Mohali, which encompasses the fast-developing Landra-Mohali Road area, is a very promising residential nexus. Pan India developers such as Unitech, Emaar-MGF, Ansals and DLF have snapped up land there for development into mega, multi-sector residential hubs. These will be highly organised cluster projects and all the right drivers are in place:

The Morning Leverage: KKR and Riverstone Merge Oil and Gas Assets
From this morning's LBO Wire:
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Riverstone Holdings are putting their oil and gas together in one barrel. The firms are merging Riverstone's Legend Production Holdings LLC and unspecified assets from KKR Natural Resources Funds to form a new oil and gas company called Trinity River Energy LLC, Shasha Dai reports. KKR specified that Fleur de Lis Energy LLC, a platform it formed in March, isn't part of the transaction and that future acquisitions made by Fleur de Lis won't be part of Trinity River.
More stories available to LBO Wire subscribers: Tower Arch Capital closes its debut fund at $255 million, slightly above its $250 million cap…and Spectrum Equity hits the $1 billion hard cap for its seventh fund.

Elsewhere on the Web:
A consortium of Chinese and outside private equity firms is aiming to raise about $1.5 billion to invest abroad, with the yuan-denominated portion of the fund to be converted to U.S. dollars through Shanghai's free-trade zone, Chao Deng reports for The Wall Street Journal.
Ms. Deng also reports that a group led by Standard Chartered Private Equity is investing $124 million into a commercial development in China by real-estate company Longfor Properties Co., despite signs of weakness in the country's property market.
WH Group Ltd., the CDH Investments-backed pork producer that pulled its over $5 billion initial public offering a few months ago, is giving its public-markets debut another go, this time with plans to raise up to $2.5 billion as early as the end of the month, Yvonne Lee and Prudence Ho report for the Journal.
SSP Group PLC, the EQT Partners-backed owner of the Upper Crust and Caffe Ritazza food chains, priced its initial public offering at 210 pence per share, giving the U.K. company a market capitalization of about 997 million pounds, Jana Weigand reports for the Journal.
Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone persuaded CVC Capital Partners to double its initial valuation when buying a stake in the motor-racing business, CVC's co-chairman told a German court, according to Reuters. Mr. Ecclestone is on trial facing bribery charges and is accused of channeling $44 million to a German banker in exchange for smoothing sale to CVC in 2006. Mr. Ecclestone, who denies wrongdoing, could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
Tao Sun, who led Providence Equity Partners' investment team in China, has left the firm after three years, according to Bloomberg News.

The U.S. Commerce Department says 1.15 million two-wheelers and ATVs worth $3.6 billion were imported into the United States in 2006. Japan continues to lead imports, well ahead of European countries and burgeoning powersports regions such as China, Thailand and Brazil.
The Commerce Department documents imported motorcycles and ATVs by 12 engine sizes, ranging from "Not Exceeding 50cc" to "Exceeding 970cc." Also included are knock-down parts — taxable articles that are unassembled but complete as to all component parts and appraised by the U.S. Customs Service as the price actually paid or payable for merchandise, excluding U.S. import duties, freight, insurance and other charges.
Japan shipped 581,460 units worth $2.7 billion.
By comparison, Italy sent 33,921 units worth $149.6 million; Austria sent 23,152 units worth $96.4 million; Germany sent 13,273 units worth $152.8 million; and the United Kingdom sent 12,068 units worth $79.1 million.
China was responsible for shipments of 354,081 units worth a total of $138 million; Taiwan sent 40,421 units worth $49 million; Thailand sent 38,734 units worth $95.7 million; and Brazil shipped 34,019 units worth $71 million.
Interestingly, the Commerce Department says Taiwan did not export units larger than 500cc; China did not export units larger than 800cc; and machines imported from Brazil were sized between 90cc and 249cc. Commerce says imports from Germany had an average value of $11,512 per unit while imports from Austria achieved a per-unit value of $4,165, which indicates BMW imported more large displacement units than KTM.

Neither of those make any sense as a Configure-Nak. If you don't have
some other preferred authentication protocol, then you shouldn't be
sending Configure-Nak -- you should send Configure-Reject instead.

03 05 C0 23 05 doesn't make sense as PAP, since PAP doesn't take any

some may not.
03 05 C0 23 is just impossible. That's a malformed option; the option

It's Not Just the Fed, It's China, Too
All the talk is about how, in a year's time, if current U.S. economic trends remain in place or things get better, the Federal Reserve will no longer be engaging in quantitative easing.
But what's going on in China right now is arguably just as important for investors as what might happen next summer–remember, the Fed restarted QE when the end of the last two rounds seemed to stall the economy.
Indeed, China might well be more relevant to the rout in commodity and emerging markets.
China is going through a serious liquidity squeeze. Chinese short-term money market rates have shot higher–on Thursday, the benchmark seven-day repo rate briefly hit 25%. This sort of squeeze portends significant economic trouble. Yield-curve inversions–where interest rates on short-dated bonds are much higher than those on longer-dated issues, like China is seeing now–are a classic sign of upcoming recession.
Yes, some of China's financial stress could be related to the Fed. QE prompted a vast amount of hot money to flow into emerging markets in search of precious yield, so indications that it will end and reverse might well be expected to see that money flow back out.
But plenty of it is also home-grown. The Chinese authorities have become worried about the economy's dependence on credit growth. Loosening bank lending certainly helped to jump-start the Chinese economy out of the downturn triggered by the financial crisis, but lately ever more credit has been required to produce ever less GDP growth.
Economists who follow China closely are worried about the scale of hidden bad debts, especially in China's shadow banking industry–in other words the parts of the financial system that can extend loans but aren't regulated like banks. And the People's Bank of China could well be allowing short-dated interest rates to squeeze higher in an effort to rein in the credit expansion that's generated vast amounts of industrial overcapacity and real-estate bubbles in the country and shift growth onto more normal, demand-driven growth.
But there are questions about the degree to which the Chinese authorities can control the transition. If they get it wrong, there's likely to be a sudden crunch. And if they blink and pump liquidity back into the system, they might well end up with little economic growth to show for large amounts of new credit piled on top of the old, a lot of it going bad. What's more, releasing the liquidity floodgates now could well trigger domestic inflation. Inflation in emerging markets is particularly hazardous–think of the Arab Spring or Tiananmen Square.
Meanwhile, a Chinese slowdown is a worry elsewhere. China has been the world's major source of demand for commodities during recent years, especially industrial metals, which the Chinese have stockpiled in vast quantities. Crunchy credit in China could well force many of those commodity inventories onto the market as overleveraged investors are forced to liquidate stocks.
Little wonder commodity prices have been tanking.
That, in turn, has hit emerging-market commodity producers. It's worth noting that South African, Russian and South American mineral producers' equities and currencies have been taking a beating for some months now and these losses have accelerated recently.
Other commodity-dependent economies like Canada and Australia are also likely to suffer.
Chinese consumers won't be able to compensate rapidly for the demand shortfall from Chinese industry–investment makes up around half of Chinese growth while household consumption is only just a little more than a third.
The U.S. will undoubtedly pick up some of the slack. But it seems the Fed is resigned to a lower trend rate of growth than it had pre-crisis.
At the same time, emerging-market economies are limited in how much they can do to boost domestic growth. Domestically-generated inflation in many of these countries makes their central banks worried about pressing on the monetary accelerator. Until structural changes in these economies once again boost potential growth–better institutions and better education are key–they too might have to accept slower rates of growth than they've got used to: say in the range of 3%-5% rather than 5%-plus.
Maybe the Fed is making people think about these things. But it's not causing all of the fundamental changes.

We were giving a tip on how to look at this problem but im having trouble figuring it out. Your help is appreciated.
It is a limiter ckt with gain. If Vout is small enough, the two diodes are off and we have an inverting amplifier with gain -(Rf/R1). But if Vout is sufficiently positive(or negative) , one or the other diode will turn on and the gain will become much smaller. With this create a constant voltage model for diodes. plot Vout vs Vin. Also use the op-amp approximation to treat the op-amp

My advice to new knitters

You know what else I noticed when I was a new knitter? Unlike you, I kept frogging and starting again when things were imperfect (i.e., constantly). But that just made it worse because my yarn just got kinkier and rattier so my stitches just got more and more uneven. Now I know better so when I do frog and my yarn is kinky, I wet it and straighten it out. I noticed that it doesn't matter with some yarns, but there are a few where it really makes a difference. So new knitters, listen to GennyLynn's advice and just keep going. You'll be impressed with your improvement along the way too, I'm sure.
There is no right way to knit; there is no wrong way to knit. So if anybody kindly tells you that what you are doing is "wrong," don't take umbrage; they mean well. Smile submissively, and listen, keeping your disagreement on an entirely mental level. They may be right, in this particular case, and even if not, they may drop off pieces of information which will come in very handy if you file them away carefully in your brain for future reference.

Written by Cynella; PSHG Founder and Team Writer
Have you ever wanted to be a Stormtrooper straight from Star Wars? In Home, it's not just possible, but you can meet people who share your dream. One person in particular saw potential for what would become one of the largest Star War Clubs on Home, Grand Admiral GuardianAngelz47.
Cynella: How long have you been using Home?
GuardianAngelz47: I have been using Home for the past 2 1/2 years.
Cynella: What is your favorite thing about Home?
GuardianAngelz47: I don't know that I have one specific thing that I'd consider my favorite. But I am thankful for the friendships I have had the opportunity to forge with my past and present club members.
Cynella: What is your least favorite thing about Home?
GuardianAngelz47: Disrespect shown by Home users. All kinds, trolling, bullying. The usual fare.
Cynella: Who are the GE501st?
GuardianAngelz47: The GE 501st is what I consider an elite group of Home users that are committed to the betterment of Home. Our mission statement is, We are a club based on respect. Respect for friends and fellow club members but most importantly all Home Users. We are also avidly involved in the improvement and upkeep of the Home community by dedicated efforts to provide a fun, safe, and clean environment for all home users to enjoy. The paramilitary structure that the club employs also attracts current and ex-military personal as well as past, present, and aspiring civil service workers who want to be part of something with structure and discipline.
Cynella: Who runs GE501st?
GuardianAngelz47: I am the Founder/Leader of the GE 501st and my current second in command is Lieutenant General xxCOBRAxxDESTRO. We have a number of Non Commissioned Officers that are the life blood of this club and they can all be found along with the other members on the complete rosters on our website.
Cynella: How did you come up with the idea to start the club?
GuardianAngelz47: The GE 501st was formed 2 1/2 years ago within the first week of my involvement on Home. I recall spawning into the old mall from Central Plaza and noticing the LucasArts store to my right. Being an avid Star Wars fan I was drawn to the dark side and committed my first of many Home content purchases. Starting out with my fresh off the assembly line TK Stormtrooper uniform. I set out in search for other Home users to help get me acquainted with this new endeavor and stumbled on a few fellow Star Wars fans chatting amongst themselves. I approached them and introduced myself and after learning more about Home from them I brought up the idea of a Stormtrooper club. Alas the GE 501st was born!
Cynella: What is the official costume for GE501st?
GuardianAngelz47: The GE 501st has a number of Stormtrooper uniforms it uses. The most notable is the TK uniform (Classic Storm Trooper). But we also heavily rely on the Scout Trooper uniform as well as the Officers uniform. More information regarding the uniform standards can be found in the GE 501st Handbook on our club website as well.
Cynella: What sets GE501st apart from other clubs?
GuardianAngelz47: Like I stated previously, we are a well-disciplined, organized club with strong paramilitary influence. We conduct line ups with synchronized drills that always attracts a crowd. I don't want to say we enforce the TOS agreement while we are out but if we noticed users in violation of the TOS agreement we follow our 3-step procedure of Observe, Report, and Ignore. Observe the violation, Report the violation, and then after the user have been notified of the submitted report that user is Ignored.
Cynella: Where does one find the GE501st in Home?
GuardianAngelz47: Home users can usually find us in the LucasArts Cantina, but we also conduct Community Relation Events on Friday nights in various public spaces around Home.
Cynella:: How does someone join? What are your requirements?
GuardianAngelz47: If a user is interested in joining the GE 501st they usually speak with one of our Non -Commissioned Officers (NCOs) who are identified by wearing the Scout Trooper Uniform to begin the recruiting process. These are just some of our requirements, the rest can be found in the GE 501st Handbook.
Our first requirement is age. We are primarily an 18+ club, but we do accept 16-17 year old members that provide parental consent. We ask for the parental consent because we want to inform the parents that their child will be interacting with an adult group of users and to make sure if they have any questions about the club they are given the opportunity to ask. We want to assure the parents that we are upstanding members not only in the Home network but also in Real Life and are committed to providing a safe environment for their children to enjoy. Too many parents are unaware of the people their children interact with especially online. We are trying to be pro-active in showing them that we are conscientious of their child's online safety.
Our second requirement is a member has to have a microphone. The reasoning behind this is, in order to successfully interact with each other and the community while in public, we rely heavily on the club and group chat features. This enables us to talk amongst ourselves and allows us to address any and all Home users that we interact with.
Our third requirement is based around participation. Any club in my opinion is only as good as the effort put forth by management and more importantly its members. We require that any member of this club put in at least 2-3 days on Home actually conducting club business. Now when I say 2-3 days, I am not expecting 10 hour Home sessions but if there is an event we are conducting or a training exercise, we like to see members stop by for maybe an hour or so every couple days. That way we can maintain an average presence and it's not just one or two people who actually use Home for the club while we have a club roster full of Non-existent members.
Cynella: Do you think LucasArts will release any new items, or are they finished with Home?
GuardianAngelz47: I have a strong feeling that LucasArts will be releasing new content for Home within the coming months. The saga is being re-released in theaters in 3D beginning in February 2012 so I am saying hopefully, but I do not think they are done with Home yet.
Cynella: If you could design a club or personal space what would it be? How much would you pay for it?
GuardianAngelz47: I have a list of things I would love to see released by LucasArts a mile long and I would probably pay a good amount for it too. I have all the Star Wars content currently available and if I had the opportunity to design a club or personal space to correspond with Star Wars, I would have to say something to do with the Death Star or a Star Destroyer spacecraft. It would be fitting for the Stormtrooper paramilitary club we have.
Cynella: Where can we find GE501st? (Facebook, Twitter, Website, etc. Recruiter PSN ID's)
GuardianAngelz47: More information on the GE 501st can be found at our club website at http://empirestrikeshome.com
Like us on Facebook, search The GE 501st Follow us on Twitter @501strikeshome. Feel free to add myself GuardianAngelz47 or xxCOBRAXXDESTRO on the PSN for more information or interest in joining our ranks!
Currently, the GE 501st is throwing a fundraiser in honor of Katie Johnson. All donations go straight to Make a Wish Foundation. To learn more: http://pshomegazette.com/2012/05/26/ge-501st-katie-johnson-make-a-wish-fundraiser/

The Evergreen Park and Recreation District board voted 4-1 to continue to work with Center for the Arts Evergreen to come up with a long-range plan to address the needs of the park district, the Center for the Arts and the community at large.
It was not determined whether the result of the collaboration would be a new combined community center/arts building, although the building concept was not ruled out.
The best skating season in at least four years, along with a new weight room at Wulf Rec Center, gave Evergreen Park and Recreation District revenue an unexpected boost in 2009.
The year started on a pessimistic note, with news of the banking crisis and mounting layoffs, but the late-October cold front that plunged temperatures to 17 below turned Evergreen Lake into a hot ticket.
The result was 48,000 skater-days for 2009, an increase of 71 percent, compared to 28,000 in 2008 and only 16,500 in 2006.
Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, a public charter school, unveiled a proposal Feb. 11 to remodel the lower level of one of its three buildings to make room for a cafeteria/gym and special classrooms.
Since 2008, the school has been housed in three buildings south of Elk Meadow Open Space and west of Evergreen Parkway, off Bergen Peak Drive.
The 8,000-square-foot space would consist of a music room, a technology resource center, a Spanish language classroom, an art room, teachers' lounge and a cafeteria that can double as a gymnasium.
An Evergreen resident has put 20 years of compulsive research in American history into an exhaustive work of historical fiction about Washington, D.C., the Capitol and the state of Virginia before the Civil War.
Author Gloria Parnham Bradfield already has at least one sequel in the rough-draft stage in the computer.
In 734 pages, "Thrones" covers politics, slavery, plantation life, women's issues, race, debates and events leading up to the Civil War, during the period from 1848 to 1851.
Nurse practitioner Monica Rabanal of Evergreen is heading to Port-au-Prince on Feb. 16 with a medical team of 14 doctors and nurses with International Medical Relief of Denver for one week.
Her flight had been cleared as of Monday, Feb. 8, to fly directly from JFK into the airport at Port-au-Prince. Rabanal will be working at a clinic a mile away from the airport.
Arapahoe Peak Health Center, 28000 Meadow Drive, supports staff members who volunteer for various medical missions to foreign countries.
A Kittredge man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting an Evergreen woman Dec. 29 waived his right to a preliminary hearing until March 15, while attorneys negotiate a possible plea bargain.
Joel Michael Herrin, 40, appeared at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, in front of Jefferson County Judge Bradley Burback.
Herrin has been in the Jefferson County jail since the day of his arrest under $500,000 bond.
Herrin is accused of going to the woman's house for a housecleaning job and then assaulting her when she tried to leave for work
Two middle-school boys from Evergreen completed a class assignment by inventing an "app" that anyone can download to iTunes and then sync to an iPhone to play.
"Slydzzle" is an electronic version of the old-fashioned sliding-tile puzzle game, a pre-computer game in which eight squares can be organized in numerical order.
In the Apple version, squares shift with a finger tap and can be shuffled with another tap.
Kaiser Permanente plans to open a new medical office in Evergreen in the next few months.
"We have been looking at a couple of sites in the area but at this time do not have a final location," said Amy Whited, spokesperson for Kaiser Permanente. The health provider may either lease or build new space.
The new office will have about 5,000 square feet and will focus on primary care services, including internal medicine and family practice. There will be two physicians at first, with room for a third in the future.
Jefferson County is taking steps to ensure all of its 570,000 residents are counted in the upcoming 2010 census.
The county is operating an informational census website and will be setting up a handful of assistance centers throughout the area staffed by U.S. Census workers.
The Colorado State Forest Service is planning a controlled burn today on Bergen Peak.
The burn will take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and smoke likely will be visible in the area.
Residents with questions or concerns can contact the Colorado Forest Service at 303-279-9757.

Sept. 29, was National Coffee Day, a day to "celebrate coffee" which can't be much different from any other day, but, it did make me stop and think about coffee for a minute longer than I normally would. I realized, I haven't changed the way I make coffee in a very long time. I was sure I could take my coffee-making game to another level.
Enter Johnny Steverson, 27, and Jason Richter, 34, from Path Coffee Roasters in Port Chester.
Six months ago, they started roasting specialty beans from all over the world inside Jason's family business, Empire Coffee Co., in a non-descript building on Purdy Avenue. They only roast beans that are in season, taste great and best represent the country where they were grown. Their 12-ounce bags even come with a roast date because they want to make sure you consume their coffee within two weeks of roasting. And another thing: No more storing beans in the refrigerator or freezer. Just wrap up the bag tightly and keep it away from the sun.
On their website www.pathcoffees.com, they currently have seven different selections for purchase ranging from Costa Rica to Ethiopia, Panama to Papua New Guinea.
"The terroir in which each bean is grown makes a huge difference in how the coffee tastes. You can have a super sweet bean in one location and you move a few kilos away and the bean can taste almost like a black tea," Steverson said.
And, he knows his tea as well as his coffee.
After culinary school and a bachelor's degree from the University of Vermont in hospitality, Steverson spent 18 months working for a large tea company. From there, he spent three years at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico as their coffee and tea director. And then, his true love of coffee and his fascination with the coffee scene in New York took over and he joined forces with Richter, a third generation coffee roaster.
They've been on an interesting path ever since.
"We named the new venture Path Coffee Roasters because we felt it had so many positive connotations and meanings," said Steverson.
The roasting is all done by hand in very small 30 lb. batches. Steverson is constantly pulling the
tryer, a small scoop in the roasting machine that lets you smell and assess the doneness in the roasting process. There are no automated controls to push or switches to flip.
And once those beans are roasted to perfection, how does one go about making the perfect cup of coffee?
Steverson and Richter swear by the pour over, using a V60 cup and making sure you wait to grind your beans until the last second. For $45, they offer a two-hour class inside their roasting facility on how to brew the perfect cup of coffee. You also get to take home your own V60 with filters and some samples of their beans. Sign up is on their website.
The duo are also very excited about the growth of their online subscription service, which automatically sends a bag of coffee, of their choosing, to your home every two weeks. I asked Jason if he thought their company was part of the third wave of coffee, a term that refers to the pioneers of a new coffee revolution.
He shook his head and smiled, "Johnny's fourth wave."
While I do enjoy a great cup of coffee, I usually like to have something with it, which is the and part of this article.
This summer at 321 N. Main St. in Port Chester, a small brightly lit neighborhood place called zeppoleme opened. At first, I thought, an entire restaurant dedicated to fattening fried dough balls? It sounded too much like a food fad, similar to this summer's Cronut or the current obsession in our area with cupcakes. But this fall, my curiosity got the best of me and one weekday afternoon, with a carful of starving teenagers, I decided to check it out.
Boy, was I wrong.
Marc Tessitore and Robert Squeri, partners in the venture, take food and marketing very seriously. Marc, one of the owners of nessa, next door to zeppoleme, has been wooing customers with his food for the past eight years. And Robert, one of nessa's first and most beloved customers has many years of experience in branding and marketing, not to mention he loves good food. Together, they have created a warm and welcoming environment that serves a select menu where everything is absolutely delicious, not least of which is their namesake, the zeppola.
"When you have a limited menu there is no reason that everything on it shouldn't be delicious. We do a few things and we do them really well," said Tessitore.
Why fried dough?
"Marc served zeppole at nessa to rave reviews, so we started to do some research. Fried dough in some shape or form is served across a multitude of cultures spanning centuries. We knew we were on to something," said Squeri.
The zeppoleme offerings are broken down into savory and sweet. The sweet zeppole come either classic Italian festival-style, or modern, an airier version created by the folding in of ricotta into the dough. Both come with your choice of dipping sauces that range from vanilla crème to Nutella, lemon glaze to buttercream. And each holiday season they will offer a special sauce, currently it's pumpkin. The savory zeppole are modern that have seasonal vegetables and meats mixed into the dough like bacon, chive and provolone or an all-veggie version.
There is a nice selection of panini's (I've been told the grilled cheese is to die for). I tasted the short ribs and broccoli rabe, which could easily have been the best sandwich I've eaten in a very long time. The salads on the menu are the perfect accompaniment to the zeppole and panini and there is a seasonal soup to round out the menu.
The beverages also deserve mention as they serve Stumptown coffee and wine on tap, which is wine stored in stainless steel kegs protecting it from oxidation. They are open daily, from very early in the morning to late at night and offer take out and catering as well. I can just see the happy smiling faces on the first kid who serves these at their birthday party—the dipping sauces even come in fun kid-friendly squeeze bottles.
If you can't beat 'em, you might as well lick the powdered sugar off your fingers and enjoy 'em!
Path Coffee Roasters:

How not to get banned from the Men's Rights subreddit
Let's say you wake up one morning and you decide, for some reason, that you'd like to make it your goal for the day to get yourself banned from the Men's Rights subreddit.
If you're a feminist, it's not hard. I managed to get myself banned there some time ago and all I had to do was … well, I'm not exactly sure what it was I did. Actually, I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Reddit-wise, other than argue with the regulars there. It's possible I may have engaged in some light sarcasm. So maybe try that.
If, on the other hand, you hate women, all you have to do is … well, again, I'm not sure. Because earlier today, as one friend of Man Boobz pointed out on the Against Men's Rights subreddit, a dislikeable fellow who calls himself sciencegod posted an elaborate, graphic torture fantasy to the Men's Rights subreddit. I'm posting it below as a thumbnail; click to see it full size, but TRIGGER WARNING because it's very graphic.
It got some downvotes, and the mods deleted the comment. But it didn't occur to any of the mods, evidently, to actually ban this user from the Men's Rights subreddit.
Because obviously anything he might ever have to say on the subject of Men's Rights is much more worthwhile than anything I might ever have to say on the subject.
I asked the mods why they felt it necessary to ban me when they wouldn't ban someone like sciencegod, and here's the response I got back:
This is pretty much the answer I get whenever I ask them anything. I could ask them if they thought the sky was blue and they'd send me the same response and probably put something in the sidebar saying the sky was red.
Ironically, elsewhere in the Men's Rights subreddit today I learned this:
Huh. Where on earth might I have gotten the impression that there are MRAs who hate women?
Oops. There's that sarcasm again. When will I ever learn?
Posted on November 17, 2013, in advocacy of violence, antifeminism, creepy, doubling down, douchebaggery, evil women, I'm totally being sarcastic, men who should not ever be with women ever, misogyny, MRA, reddit and tagged antifeminism, men's rights, misogyny, MRA, reddit, torture porn, violence against women. Bookmark the permalink. 144 Comments.
Besides, at least you and that guy got to comment. Look at some feminist websites like Geek Feminism or Feministing, they don't even approve your comment unless it's in agreement with their equality delusions.
Clearly this dude is in denial about how dangerous leaving a comments section open on a feminist website can be. I recently had a debate with some jackass on my youtube channel's comments policy which states that all comments on discussions on feminism will be moderated (I will have to individually approve them), to help maintain a safe space for women. The dude was of course crying freeze peach, but it's like, I'm not about to leave a rape threat or something sitting on my video for hours, if not weeks, because I didn't realize it was there. If I have the ability to moderate those comments before they get posted, I can ensure that triggering comments and obvious trolling/bad faith arguments don't slip under the radar. No, I will not give equal time to trolls, cry about it.
Dude was like, "You're gonna lose subscribers because people see this as a human rights issue." Yeah, those trolls can see the door, I'm not concerned one bit about it. Youtube is a haven for blatant misogyny, trolling, and "debates" that dehumanize entire groups of people. Not being able to start a wankfest on one person's channel is not a fucking infringement on your free speech. You can save that shit for someone who wants to hear it because it's not your right to talk to me or all two of my viewers, lol.
@auggziliary, I see violentacrez a lot too but for some reason I always read his un as "violentalcatraz." NFI.
That's what I said. But there are a lot of s/c/w/a dudes out there who have no idea how to deal with someone not automatically valuing their opinions over other people's and feel entitled to everyone else's time and attention, so the thought of not being able to spew whatever disgusting, uninformed garbage all over other people's spaces sends them into a state of blind determination to restore their over-inflated egos.
