Spearheader: Women get jobs out of spite
JeremiahMRA's call for lady murder wasn't the only highlight (by which I mean lowlight) of that Fathers' Day thread on The Spearhead. Towgunner also posted a rambling wall-of-text in which he offered some most intriguing thoughts on Fathers' Day, economics, feminism, and ladies in general. Here's are some excerpts, which I have taken the liberty of breaking into separate paragraphs:
Happy Oppressor's day. I really like passive aggressive ruse by feminists who claim that housework is beneath them and thus oppressive. And yet, in honor of men and fathers, we have posts and articles discussing how fatherhood has "evolved"? …
Like everything from feminism it contradicts itself. If equality is to "liberate" women (from staying at home, oh the humanity!) and that staying at home is something pathetic, then why doesn't that apply to all people? Under this new understanding, no one should be subjected to the indignity of staying at home. So why are women throwing temper tantrums yet nothing is said of men?
Uh, maybe the issue is that men and women should be able to decide if they want to stay at home, rather than being compelled to either work or stay home based on their gender. Not that this choice is really a choice for most people, as most mothers, like most fathers, have to work.
Worse, if there is a trend of men staying at home, then it is a disturbing trend indicative of the major structural perversions created by government intervention.
Watch out, you're spilling conspiracy theory all over your misogyny.
Today, thanks to our "smarter" and "faster" women, we're to believe that fulfillment is an internship at goldman sachs…and, oh by the way, all these longer hours "they" are paying you less…and less and less.
Because … feminists are responsible for long hours and stagnating wages?
And then women write books on how their disadvantaged from "asking for more money", because they were brought up with dolls? Never once do they acknowledge that everyone is being paid less because since the government gave them "their chance" it created incredible amounts of malinvestment, which effectively bankrupted the US and the West.
Ah yes, "allowing" women to enter into the workforce – never mind that they've always been in the workforce in large numbers – somehow caused the financial crisis that led to our current malaise? Towgunner, please show your work here.
This is all to show that women can be a part of human progress. It pains them to no end when they flip through a history book and its one man after the next. I say that they did have their chance and look at the results – we will go through another crisis, likely a huge global reset and the US is, right now, a vastly different country (not for the better)…look at our culture we celebrate death and killing people…we hold the most decadent and immoral on high.
You do realize that men still basically run the economy, right? That as of 2011 there were only 12 female CEOs in the Fortune 500? That the overwhelming majority of economic movers and shakers, in governments and in the private sector, are men?
The women's world is here, they do things not out of practical necessity but out of spite, Mother's Day comes and they bemoan house wives, Father's day comes and they point out that some men are staying home. There is nothing practical here, there is spite, there is insult, and there is hubris.
Women get jobs out of spite?
I don't admire women, I don't ever want to be one either, there is nothing noble about them. In fact I find it an insult to be called "equal" to them at all.
And a happy belated Fathers' Day to you too, Towgunner!
This comment got me thinking about the old Martha and the Muffins song "Women Around the World at Work." So here it is:
Posted on June 18, 2012, in antifeminism, evil women, matriarchy, men who should not ever be with women ever, misogyny, MRA, oppressed men, reactionary bullshit, the spearhead. Bookmark the permalink. 60 Comments.
I don't admire women, I don't ever want to be one either, there is nothing noble about them. In fact I find it an insult to be called "equal" to them at all.
But they're not a hate movement!
Are NWO and Towgunner the same person? I swear I've heard this shit before.
it created incredible amounts of malinvestment, which effectively bankrupted the US and the West
I read that as "male investment" and thought "hey, that sounds about right."
It's not like staying home and doing housework is an option any woman can cash in at any time. You gotta feed yourself somehow until an independently wealthy and generous man decides to take you for his wife.
I realize the ideal is that this happens immediately after high school (or during…), but we gotta have some sort of option in case there's a delay.
Yep this is pretty horrid. I wonder how Towgunner and other MRAs here feel when they realize that the only reason they're alive spouting hate on the internet today is because they leeched nutrients in their mother's womb for 9 months, wreaked hell on their mother's body only only then to push their big ugly heads out of their mother's vagina.
But hey if you think this is bad you guys should check out the comments on the most recent spearhead article. Seems like one of their own (Rmaxed) is calling for violence. I think the comment was deleted. Either way it is barely being called out, in fact the tone there doesn't seem to think its that big a deal.
But yeah…totes not a hate movement!
"I don't admire women, I don't ever want to be one either, there is nothing noble about them. In fact I find it an insult to be called "equal" to them at all."
And MRAs have the nerve to declare the MRM is about equality. Bullshit. The mask slips, and we see how they really feel about women.
God, how many times has the masked slipped with these hateful asshats? I lost count at the 400th time. At least most people aren't this horrid.
In before BUT AN EVIL ZOMBIE FEMINIST SAID SOMETHING MEAN ONCE
I will forever bless Tom Martin for making being butthurt an official part of the MRA political position.
In other news, women get jobs because they need to eat, not because they're mean meanies who want to make men miserable.
It's true; I get paid in spite. It's how I pay my mortgage.
I get paid in spite, use shrillness to settle my phone bill and cover the rent with misandry.
Just getting to submissive-housewife status is risky in MRA-land, too.
First you gotta make sure the gentleman you're wooing is a "women belong in the home!" MRA and not a "women shouldn't expect me to support them!" MRA. (You gotta make extra sure he's not one of the ones who somehow believe both.)
Then you gotta sleep with him! If you tell him you won't have sex until marriage, he'll be very upset that you're evilly controlling his ability to have sex with you.
But once you sleep with him, you have to make sure he then marries you, because if he breaks up with you then you're now damaged goods and no man will want a used woman.
But you can't be too pushy because entrapping men in marriage is very very bad.
Oh, yeah, just remember while you're playing this little game: if you fail at any point in this process, you starve! If he fails he maybe doesn't get laid for a little while.
Those abolitionists are telling me I should pick my own damn cotton, these hypocrites! If cotton picking is not good enough for the slaves why should I have pick my own?
It's almost as though if women don't do all the chores at home *somebody* has to pick up the remaining work somehow.
Watch out, you're spilling conspiracy theory all over your misogyny
"You got your conspiracy theories in my misogyny!"
"You got your misogyny in my conspiracy theories!"
…Wait, so he's arguing that the past fifty years were worse than, say, the Middle Ages? o.O I'm just saying, the time periods in which feminism didn't exist have been much more miserable than the modern day.
@scarlet I hope I'm not offending this Forbes commenter by cutting and pasting, but their comment is so kick ass it's worth a read, in full.

The author has a responsibility to address your comments in a manner that is professional and in keeping with the standards of the company's policy regarding the communication with its readers.
I however, am not constrained by this and can address your comments in exactly the manner for which it properly deserves.
I cannot begin to describe how ignorant, uneducated, and misogynic your statement is. Honestly, it's a complete embarrassment on so many levels…
It is obvious that you have never served sir, or you would already know the fundamental flaws in your statements.
First and foremost, as a military vet, I am insulted that you think so less of us as a WHOLE. Do you think you didn't insult men in uniform with your thoughtless commentary? Think again oh sage of the ages… who do you think are making these decisions to begin with?
When you make these statements that you did about women you are simultaneously stating that you do not trust the military to make decisions about how it conducts itself, you do not believe men have the maturity or intelligence to be able to complete their mission without letting themselves be "fettered" by their female comrades, and you do not believe our leaders have the experience or knowledge to make an informed decision regarding these matters.
Well, as a 20 year vet I must say, I sure am glad to have someone as smart and wise as you come along and set 200 years and millions of military personnel throughout that time straight! Whew! Thank God for you! Now we can do it right!
News flash: They have been fighting side by side with us the whole time. Whether or not they get the recognition for what they have done throughout history or that they ever are given true "combat status" is irrelevant. Facts do not change: they have been doing it and will continue to do so. Boys like you that can't wake up to this need not apply to the club. Yes, I said boy. I don't care what your numerical "age" is; I'm referring to your mentality.
A point I don't see addressed very much in these discussions, but is a deafening blow to any paranoid woman hater: Anyone anywhere in any job can tell you, if they are clinical in their observation and honest, military included, that 70% do the work, the other 30% watch, find ways to get out of it, and are a burden to the shop, and thus the mission itself. In all complete honesty, this is probably a "generous" percentage.
Women comprise of 10% of the military. Before ANYONE talks any bs about how women don't belong, you need to show me that you have PROPERLY culled the ranks. Not just discharge people to meet a "downsize quota" – but get rid of the dirtbags. This won't ever happen – so the entire discussion about whether or not women belong in the military is dead from INCEPTION.
I have had women subordinates, peers, and CO's that could dance circles around many of my supposed "male" peers. THIS IS FACT. I HIGHLY suspect you would be one of those weak links – all the while fuming how it's "women's fault."
Now please do the rest of the 21st Century a favor, and log off the internet, sell your computer, and never come back. We don't need you and we will be just fine without ya.
""I don't ever want to be one either"
… Was that an option? Like, he might accidentally become a woman?"
Don't you know? Women being allowed in the workforce feminizes their male coworkers because we can't tell all our awesome rape jokes anymore and we have to keep our pants on.
OSHA is a tool of the gynocratic conspiracy. Without it pantslessness for all would be the norm.
So if my grandmother got into accounting because she could make a decent salary at it (and support her male children and sick husband) and then my father decided to go into the same field because he figured he could make a decent salary too, does his manly virtue cancel out her feminine spite?
I have some good news, and some bad news, for our beloved Towgunner: I have not yet met a woman that I would consider him an equal to
OSHA is a tool of the gynocratic conspiracy. Without it pantslessness for all would be the norm.
Here's a little anecdote. A million years ago, I was an office peon for a lab. The air conditioning unit was broken, it was summer, and it regularly got to 36C in our offices. We took to wearing summery clothing.
One of the (older, overweight) men office peons wore shorts to work one day, as many of the (youngish, not-overweight) women office peons had been doing for weeks, and got reprimanded. Apparently, a man wearing shorts in an office connected to a lab is a safety hazard, whereas a woman wearing shorts in an office connected to a lab is just hunky-dory.
Nothing AT ALL to do with the relative attractiveness of the exposed legs. Or the assumption that OF COURSE man peon worked IN the lab, and OF COURSE women peons were just secretaries.
Fucking blockqutoes. Er, blockquotes.
It pains them to no end when they flip through a history book and its one man after the next.
Yes actually that does pain me. If one thinks about it, imagine where we would be if women had been able to develop to their full potential instead of having to dance around the insane rules created to prevent them from doing so? And it annoys me that the contributions of the women who's hard work made it possible for those men to go haring off on those adventures are completely ignored. They raised the children, kept the house, hosted the parties, did the extra money earning and countless other tasks to let the man become all important to history.
I say that they did have their chance and look at the results
What chance? You mean the past fifty years of roaring changes that have made life in many many ways so much better for so many people as women have gradually stopped being stifled? That chance? The sad thing is that the chance is still not complete because of asshats like this guy. When women comprise of 50% of all leadership positions-then, and only then, would I say we can assess the results. So far it looks pretty darn good even with today's craptastic economy.
"Women only work to spite men!"
"But women need to work to survive."
"Women only survive to spite men!"
[insert my usual long rambling about classism, women, privilege, and labor here]
I find it amusing too that he thinks the idea that housework is oppressive absurd when women do it, but if men do it, it's a horrific and unthinkable injustice.
Riiiight, ignore that good paying jobs are scarce due to outsourcing and blame it all on the women. Notice the economy didn't start to decline until recently, when big corporations started shipping factory work, call centers, etc overseas. Women who expect at least the same wage as men are not the competition here, people in china who work for a tiny fraction of what you expect are.
And who thought outsourcing was a good idea? Could that be the men in charge of most corporations??
Also, I just did a really quick breakdown on my tumblr of a gww post which included a really quick list of how much house work costs when hiring someone to do it
The whole thing is really long, but here is what I found on average rates you would pay someone for the work that housewives (and working women who still do the house work) do:
-According to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), home daycare averages around $650 a month for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. It ranges from about $3,582 to $11,940 per year (less in rural areas, a lot more in big cities)
-This includes a surrogate's fee that is often in the range of $10,000 to $20,000.
-Prices start at about $50 to clean a small apartment twice a month, and can go on up to $250 or more to regularly clean a five bedroom, two-story home. Larger homes or less frequent visits can cost even more.
In addition, one time cleaning, such as when you move in, or out of, a new home or want a seasonal overhaul, can start at $150 for a small place and go up to about $500 for a larger house in need of more work.
So it can cost from $50 to $250 to clean a home, depending on how many rooms, how messy they are and what you want done and how often, and may go up to as high as $500 for a one-time over haul.
-The next step is deciding how many meals you need. Although prices and packages vary, most chefs offer what's known as a "five by four" — four portions of five entrées and side dishes. This will provide 20 dinner-size servings. Personal chefs also offer a "five by two" — two portions of five entrées. But this is usually not cost-effective. A typical five-by-four costs between $350 and $400, including groceries. That's $17.50 to $20 per person, more than a family-style eatery but less than an upscale restaurant. A five-by-two — half as much food — costs only about 20% less, $285 to $325, or around $30 a person.
-Personal Shopper Hourly Rate $8.24 – $44.70
This was a response to GWW describing the male/female relationship as:
"Women wanted to be protected, provided for and given the things they want and need. And men have, for the most part, kept doing that, for decades, even as what women say they want and need has changed."
Yeah, really looks like women are just being given these things and not earning them. Ugh.
Well, now that's a coincidence- I don't want to be an MRA, and I'm pretty sure that kickass high-paying jobs don't just jump out and hire ANYONE, much less whiny jerks who have anger and misogyny issues (unless they "know someone").
Why do these idiots have to blame women as a whole for their own personal failure at life? Plenty of men succeed and fail without treating women like they have evil conspiracy vaginas. Perhaps the structural inequalities are actually, ya know, more *complicated* than just blaming an entire group of people based on a phenotypical resemblance.
Actually, you know what I think? I'd love to see these guys get married to each other. I think they'd be perfect for each other.
OSHA is a tool of the gynocratic conspiracy. Without it pantslessness for all would be the norm.
When I have to do my quarterly hospital Environment of Care evaluation, I consult my OSHA manual, particularly the Misandry appendix in the back. I can confirm that OSHA requires pants to remain on in the workplace.
There's also a set of standards to ensure that your workplace be as miserable as it can for men.
"In fact I find it an insult to be called "equal" to them at all."
And this is why we still need feminism, thanks for proving the point I guess?
Re: OHSA and pants — only required if your job requires pants, sorry for the tautology but not all jobs require pants (eg lifeguards). Get a pantsless job if pants are so hard?
I looked through history and see men too, and many of these men committed atrocities on scales no woman has ever come close to committing. And this asshole has the audacity to look down on women? Go figure.
No discussion about having to wear pants being oppressive would be complete without a link to this:
darksidecat — while I doubt that's what the MRM meant, I wholeheartedly agree. They'd laugh though if we said that the patriarchy hurts men too because they can't wear skirts (the MRAs that is, not men in general, I know skirt wearing men). And I'm not going to guess what the MRM would say about non-binaries, but skirts/dresses for everyone sound excellent.
In related things, it is way too hot for pants today.
darksidecat – I, for one, enjoy a man in a utilikilt.
I hate when they say: women never contributed anything to history, therefore INFERIOR
It's like- Uh, don't you know women weren't ALLOWED to contribute to history?! Wpmen were banned from schools/earning money/owning property yadda yadda
Le sigh
There's also the more subtle point that women did contribute to history, but it didn't get recorded so much.
@rjjspeshImmir Yes, of course, but you must bear in mind that most of these people refer to women as "children" and seriously believe we shouldn't have the right to vote NOW (or earn money, or get higher education degrees…)
Pecunium – Of course authentic kilts are preferable but since authentic kilts with all the accoutrements are rather expensive, I'll take what I can get!
The Scottish side of my family is Stewart, and since anymore this is like being a Smith, it's been impossible to track down the proper family tartan.
"It's also worth pointing that a lot of 'History' is the tale of people plotting and killing and torturing and manipulating each other for power, nations declaring war to each others and a lot of colonization."
The other chunk of it is discovery, finding out about the world, and making new things and new ideas- people like Isaac Newton (by all accounts a total cock, actually) and Albert Einstein and Marie Curie and Sophie Germain.
Shameless optimist, at times…
Since I mentioned her, may as well throw in a quote from Gauss (one of the big names in maths) about Sophie Germain (who wrote to him under the name Monsieur leBlanc, because sexism, then told him her real name later):
"How can I describe my astonishment and admiration on seeing my esteemed correspondent M leBlanc metamorphosed into this celebrated person. . . when a woman, because of her sex, our customs and prejudices, encounters infinitely more obstacles than men in familiarising herself with [number theory's] knotty problems, yet overcomes these fetters and penetrates that which is most hidden, she doubtless has the most noble courage, extraordinary talent, and superior genius."
That just makes me happy…
"In fact I find it an insult to be called "equal" to them at all." and they seriously think people take them seriously when they claim they aren't misogynists.

Free Horse Racing Tips
As a racing tipster and professional gambler over the last ten years I have made numerous contacts within the horse racing industry.
Some of these contacts are now close personal friends.
Through these friends I receive some of the most profitable betting information you could imagine. These horse racing tips are of such high quality and the winnings so great that my life has changed forever.
Racing Tipster
In my capacity as a horse racing tipster I pass this information on to a long list of clients. However, unlike many tipsters who ask for money up front for information, my basic service is totally free of charge.
If someone offers you profitable betting information that they are using to win money, why do they need you to pay for it? I have placed millions of pounds in winning bets over the past 20 years. My info is good. I win enough. I don't need you to pay.
My clients come from all walks of life, but thanks to my horse racing tips they have one thing in common… they all make a profit from their betting.
Best Racing Tips
Being a professional gambler and tipster is a very enjoyable job. I get to pass horse racing tips of the highest quality on to racing enthusiasts who need my help. In selling them top-quality racing tips I can help improve their financial situation and get them enjoying their gambling. I don't need to give these tips out. I do it for fun and I have made dozens of good friends in my capacity as a racing advisor.
If you want to start making real money from your gambling, all you need to do is COMPLETE THE FORM ON THE RIGHT and make your interest known.
Kind regards,
Paul Gargan

Siberian Tiger vs Grizzly Bear
Sorry for the long delay in posts...
This is by far the most requested fight in WAFC history and features arguably the two most lethal big predators on the planet.
The Siberian Tiger is the largest Big Cat on Earth, growing up to 11 ft long and up to 850 lbs. It preys on huge animals such as deer, boar, and Elk. Siberian Tigers have even been known to prey on Brown bear species in Asia. Although this cat is big it still has incredible quickness. It's preferred method of killing is, like most big cats, a bite to the throat of its victim.
The Grizzly Bear has incredible strength, as mentioned in previous fights on WAFC. It also has a size advantage,growing up to and beyond 1000lbs. The largest Grizzlies can stand up to 8 ft tall.
Its tough for me to choose a victor here out of two of my favorite predators. I think the fight would go pretty quick once the two beasts got into it.
The tiger would most likely be first to act trying to pounce at the Bear's throat. The Bear could counter with a downward swat, as it is known to do, that could crush the cat's skull.
However I think more often than not the Tiger would win this fight. With its size and speed, the momentum of a dash and pounce would be enough to knock the bear backwards before a blow to the neck kills it.

I happened upon this "vintage" looking bottle while browsing the World Market website. It instantly caught my eye, as I had been looking for a water bottle for my infused waters. This bottle is very sturdy and has a great seal, and does not leak. I have been using them everyday since I bought them, and couldn't imagine using a different bottle now. See the attached photo for my use of this product! I also love my local World Market, and shop there frequently!
We have been trying out various glass vessels for storing small amounts filtered water in the refrigerator. These are very sturdy, take up little space, have reliable closures, and the shape looks cute on the casual lunch or dinner table. Guests love that they get a personal bottle if they want cold water. We never purchase bottled water, so our kids think it's a special treat. I so prefer this to having a giant glass pitcher in the refrigerator. I feel okay about it staying in there for a few days, but I don't have to worry about the bottles taking up too much room or chemicals leaching into the water from being stored in plastic.

Outstanding achievers
What do the founder of a charity, a veterinary scientist, a surgeon and a rugby league player have in common? They're all recipients of the 2011 Alumni Awards, which recognise some of Australia's foremost thinkers and achievers. The awards celebrate the way the recipients' exceptional contributions, sense of innovation and generosity of spirit have enriched the lives of others.
Anne Crawford (BA '85 BSW '87) received the Alumni Award for Community Achievement because of her work with Can Too, the charitable program she set up. The organisation trains ordinary Australians to achieve goals they never thought possible, such as running a marathon or half marathon or completing an ocean swim. In return, the participants raise funds for Cure Cancer Australia, with more than $7 million raised since April 2005, by more than 6000 people. (You can hear more from Anne at the [[http://sydney.edu.au/what-matters||What Matters website)
Associate Professor Robyn Alders AO (BSc (Vet) '83 BVSC '84 DipVetClinStud '86) received the Alumni Award for International Achievement. The award recognises her exceptional research and contributions to veterinary science, particularly for her vital work on the prevention and control of emerging infectious disease and village poultry health in Asia and Africa. She has made a significant and long-term contribution to the improvement of poultry production in rural villages, working closely with farmers, not only as a veterinarian and researcher, but also as a diplomat and negotiator between people and government departments.
Dr Wirginia Maixner (MBBS '86) received the Alumni Award for Professional Achievement for her extraordinary work as a surgeon, her groundbreaking research and for establishing a course that educates and inspires young neurosurgeons. She has been described by colleagues as "the neurosurgeon's neurosurgeon", which is testimony to her reputation as a leading practitioner in this high-pressure discipline. She has performed numerous operations on children suffering rare conditions, and each of these operations required meticulous attention to detail, stamina and considerable courage. In 2007 she performed the first auditory brainstem implant on a child in Australasia. This has been described as a procedure that "could pave the way for revolutionary advances in medicine".
Rugby league player Corey Payne (BCom '07) received the Young Alumni Award for Achievement for his efforts to inform, educate and inspire young people from less privileged schools or low socio-economic areas about the importance of attending university, and for devoting his time and energy to supporting a range of charitable causes. Corey, who plays for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, founded the Future Direction Network in December 2009 to provide support to students from south-west Sydney, through mentoring, career pathway planning and by helping them to find and apply for university scholarships.
Meanwhile, four outstanding students have been honoured with medals after showing strong leadership or achieving academic excellence while also enriching the diverse life of the University of Sydney and making a difference to the broader community. Naomi Hart (BA (Hons) '09 LLB '11) and Nathaniel Ware (BEc '11) were honoured with Convocation Medals, Erin Law (MN '11) received the Edmund Barton Medal, and Dr Kirsten Harley (BSc '92 PhD '10) was named the Rita and John Cornforth Medallist.

Michael Golebiewski, associate professor of speech and theater at at Roane State Community College, has been directing his Playmakers for more than 12 seasons.
He's also showing his writing chops by bringing the dead back to the stage in a "rock odyssey from the great beyond."
Deadstock, which premiered this past weekend, marks the first full-length play he has written.
It was a joint project between the theater, art and music departments.
Mark Ventura, of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, has received the prestigious honor of being named as the Tennessee Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) Wildlife Officer of the Year. Ventura was presented the award during the 65rd Annual SEAFWA Conference that the TWRA hosted in Nashville.
The Roane State Raiderettes couldn't overcome 18 Walters State steals and were impeached by the Lady Senators Saturday afternoon by a 71-38 margin.
Walters State used runs of 8-2 and 22-6 to take a 33-15 lead to the locker room at halftime.
It would go right down to the wire, but the Harriman Middle School Lady Blue Devils managed to fend off the Wartburg Central Middle School Lady Bulldogs for a well-deserved 31-29 win Thursday evening.
The Midway Middle School Green Wave and Lady Wave opened the 2011-12 season Thursday night with a long trip to Tellico Plains to take on Rural Vale.
Roane State Community College basketball coach Randy Nesbit was inducted into The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame on Oct. 28 during a ceremony at the Charleston, S.C. college.
It takes two things to be a good golfer. One is talent and the second is composure.
Harriman's Samuel Davis has both, and those attributes paid off big time last week as the Blue Devil senior signed scholarship papers with Tusculum College in Greeneville.
I don't remember Allen. At all.
My memories of this stellar young man are those my parents shared with me. Their rollercoaster relationship, abruptly halted with my mother's death in April 2005, was fraught with disagreements. There were two things, however, on which they steadfastly agreed:
They loved my sister and me, and they loved Allen.

Third Title in Halle
Roger beat Australian Open champion Marat Safin 6-4 6-7 6-4 to win his third consecutive Halle Open title on Sunday. Roger even doubled his Gerry Weber Open success by clinching the doubles title alongside countryman Yves Allegro! They edged Marat Safin and Joachim Johansson 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-3, with Roger delivering an ace on the final point of the match - beating Safin for the second time within just a few hours. Going for a third successive Wimbledon title later this month, Roger produced another masterly performance on grass, his finesse and consistency proving too much for the powerful but erratic Russian. Roger extended his three-year winning streak on grass to 29 matches but is still well short of Bjorn Borg's record of 41 over five years in from 1976 to 1980. Second seed Safin had beaten Roger in their last meeting, saving a match point in a five-set thriller in this year's Australian Open semi-finals. They had never previously met on grass. Safin, who has been complaining of a troublesome left knee since the Indian Wells Pacific Life Open in March, was upset by controversial line calls during the match but did well to take the second set tiebreak 8-6. Roger broke in the third game of the third set, however, and that was enough to give him victory in a high-tempo match which thrilled the spectators packed into the 12,500-seater Gerry Weber stadium. The two players meet again in the doubles final later on Sunday, Federer partnering fellow countryman Yves Allegro and Safin playing with Sweden's Joachim Johansson.

Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the whole costume. First off, unlike what the product description says, one size doesn't fit all. I had a real bitch of a time getting into the stinking thing! Then, after finally getting into it, the chest area of the costume didn't expand enough, leaving a big exposed gap. I had to use a ton of safety pins to close that up. Also, just how long did you have that costume in storage before you finally shipped it to me? I mean that the costume was totally wrinkled and many of the skeleton decals completely stuck to each other! In the process of getting the decals pulled apart, many of them got damaged! This whole purchase was a total rip off! Shame on your company!

This Suit is much smaller then advertised. I am not a huge person and my measurements were in the range listed and I had to have it altered and it still would not connect in the back. There is another suit out there that is much better quality and looks closer to the actual movie suits.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
To validate skin carotenoid detection as a marker of fruit and vegetable intake to study the possible health effects that accumulate in human skin, which reflect dietary intake from food sources. Validation through a skin carotenoid detection device would allow researchers better tools for studying strategies to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in large populations and groups of people in whom non-invasive techniques are especially preferred (e.g. children).
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
The Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center (GFHNRC) studies healthy diets based on the Dietary Guidelines and how they can help people maintain a healthy body weight, as well as prevent obesity and other chronic health problems. Fruits and vegetables are an important component to a healthy diet and many Americans do not eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. There are many research efforts looking at ways to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, however, there is a need to develop better ways to assess fruit and vegetable intake in people. Validation of skin carotenoid detection as a marker of fruit and vegetable intake will be accomplished through a controlled feeding study conducted at the GFHNRC. Study volunteers will be fed (on an outpatient basis) a diet initially devoid of carotenoids ("wash-out period") followed by a diet rich in carotenoids. A skin carotenoid detection device will be used to monitor skin carotenoid levels in response to increases in intake of vegetables and fruits.

M&A Boosts Lazard's Quarterly Profit
Lazard overcame a relatively weak deal market to post a gain in second-quarter net income of 1.7%, as a few big deal closings pushed financial advisory revenue ahead of last year.
Even with an increase in expenses related to the completion of a cost-cutting program, the quarter's results topped analyst estimates.
For the quarter, Lazard said its financial advisory business's operating revenue on an adjusted basis jumped 9% to $263 million. Strategic advisory, which includes M&A, sovereign and government advisory and capital markets, reported an operating revenue rise of 13% to $240 million driven in part by a 12% rise in M&A advisory revenue.
Lazard has advised on four of the 10 largest merger transactions announced so far this year. Completed deals include Deutsche Telekom combination of T-Mobile and MetroPCS Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital's acquisition of H.J. Heinz, and Anheuser-Busch InBev acquisition of the remaining stake in Grupo Modelo it didn't already own.
"We are cautiously optimistic about the environment," said Lazard's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Jacobs on a conference call on Thursday. "The global economic environment is uneven as there are pockets of activity and improving trends."
The second quarter marked the completion of a cost-cutting initiative begun last fall. The quarter included a charge of $38 million, which was slightly larger than analysts had expected. Total costs of the program are $167 million, approximately 75% of it paid in cash. The firm's headcount was reduced by 250 people.
Compensation expense rose 17% to $331.1 million, while overall operating expenses climbed 15% to $449.5 million. Compensation as a percentage of revenue fell to 60% from 62.7% in last year's second quarter.
For the quarter, Lazard reported net income of $31.4 million compared with $30.8 million a year earlier. On a per-share basis, earnings were flat at 24 cents. On a fully exchanged basis, the company's earnings were 45 cents, up from 25 cents a share a year ago. Fully exchanged refers to the full conversion of all outstanding exchangeable interests held by LAZ-MD Holdings, the entity owned by Lazard Group's current and former managing directors, including executive officers.
Net revenue rose 12% to $490.4 million. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected earnings of 33 cents a share on revenue of $450 million.
Assets under management came in at $163 billion, up 10% from a year ago but down about 5% from the prior quarter.
Share of Lazard rose 6% on Thursday, to $36.61, and are up 22% so far this year.

PRAGUE, November 22, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- Conservative elements in Iran are pushing to increase the segregation of men and women in public.
November 24, 2006
A new park for women is due to open in the capital, Tehran, and reports say plans are under way for single-sex hospitals and women-only public transport. Supporters claim the effect will be a more moral and Islamic society, but activists warn that the moves are aimed at curbing women's participation in public life.
The separation of men and women has arguably been part of Iranian culture for longer than its Islamic-based government. But gender-based segregation in public life was institutionalized following the establishment of the Islamic republic in 1979. Some fundamentalists consider it a solution to prevent social interaction that they regard as a potential source of evil. Not Completely New Iran's schools are already segregated to some extent. Young men and women sit in separate rows in university classes. All metro trains in the capital have distinct compartments for women, and women and men must sit in separate sections on public buses. In the past 27 years, there have been attempts to introduce segregation in other pubic places -- including health institutions and parks. So far, those attempts have failed in part due to impracticality, but also because of efforts by vociferous opponents.
"In the early years of the revolution, some people wanted to do the same in the universities and, as far as I know...[Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini] opposed it."
Since former hard-line Tehran Mayor Mahmud Ahmadinejad assumed the presidency, the segregation efforts appear to have gained momentum. As mayor, Ahmadinejad reportedly imposed a system of segregated elevators. The recent moves to further separate the sexes are backed by some senior clerics and legislators. Squaring Off Former reformist legislator Fatemeh Rakei tells RFE/RL that she thinks the new push for segregation is unlikely to succeed. "In the early years of the revolution, some people wanted to do the same in the universities and, as far as I know, the late Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini] opposed it," Rakei says. "But currently there are some strange radical views, which also exist in the Islamic world -- unfortunately -- but I don't think they can implement these views." Despite such criticism, advocates of segregation appear determined to enforce gender segregation in public arenas.

CALLING FOR MORE RIGHTS: Although women played key roles in Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, the place of women in post-revolutionary society has been a vexing question. Iranian women have struggled to bring attention to their calls for greater rights in their country's rigid theocratic system, calls that have often clashed with the values proclaimed by conservatives in society.

United, previously without a home win since mid-February, dispensed with the services of Danny Wilson in midweek and tasked their former centre-half with the job of trying to steer them back into the Championship.
On this evidence, it appears an inspired move as Morgan's men were well worth their victory.
Porter's 38th-minute effort ensured the Blades' superb first-half display did not go unrewarded. The striker, starting for the first time since returning from a loan spell at Shrewsbury, powered home Tony McMahon's in-swinging free-kick to end the hosts two month wait for a goal at Bramall Lane.
McMahon, who struck the woodwork with another set-piece soon afterwards, had earlier delivered the cross from which Harry Maguire had a shot deflected onto a post while Jamie Murphy twice went close as Swindon looked like being overwhelmed.
The visitors, though, began the second period in much more decisive fashion. Nevertheless, Porter could have doubled United's advantage on the hour mark after meeting Ryan Flynn's pass only for his control to let him down.
Simon Ferry produced a well-timed tackle to thwart Kitson after Michael Doyle's pass fortuitously wriggled its way though.
But the former Reading centre-forward was not to be denied and made sure of the points with a commanding header from another superb McMahon delivery.

Hi i did contact support via phone and talked to a tech. basically he told me i was SOL and that they where aware of the problem.. im rather ticked off that support didnt give me any kind of an explanation or reason as to why something like this has happened Not only to me but to others
This game is a broken piece of ****, that should never have been released its absolutely discussing that it was allowed to be sold un finished this has to be one of the worst game launches i have ever seen, lag.. yeah we can live with that but random de ranking even after a supposed fix is just un acceptable, its no wonder why there are hardly anyone playing any more and so many people trading it in. i expected a lot better from a ghost recon game! this is an embarrassment to the ghost recon series!! ALL of these issues should have never happened! and have killed the game!
I've been waiting for an update and waiting to get my classes back for a long time. Nothing from tech support. It definitely ruined the game, patches do absolutely nothing!

They have a few genre stations that I like and they display the music as its playing 3.Being a subscriber to Yahoo! Launch is great, too. The ranking system is a great way to find music that you would like and they have a large selection of stations to choose from. If you could incorporate the autoscrobbler to that, it would rule, I believe. 4.I also love searching for radio stations from around the world on the internet.

I do use recommendations from critic guides like allmusic or even Mark Prindle but sometimes they get it wrong like Re/re said. The easiest to use is Yahoo! Launch but I recommend any kind of streaming radio station on the web. It is the greatest thing that the world has invented in the last 10 years IMO.

Cincinnati doctor's malpractice trial begins despite doctor fleeing countryUPDATED 7:40 PM EST Jan 06, 2014
Dr. Abubakar Durrani is standing trial at the Hamilton County Courthouse. It's the first of what could be hundreds of trials for the spine surgeon accused of performing unnecessary operations.Video Transcript
ACCUSED OF PERFORMING UNNECESSARY SURGERIES ... MOVES FORWARD. EVEN THOUGH THE DEFENDANT IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY... WE LOOK AT THE DECISION TO PUSH FORWARD.. AND THE OTHER STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE (Last time an afternoon temperature in Cincinnati remained at zero or below: Jan 18th 1994 the afternoon high was 0 degrees) (SHEREE 2-SHOT) IT COULD we have breaking news... (SHEREE 2-SHOT) IT COULD BE THE FIRST OF HUNDREDS OF TRIALS AGAINST A LOCAL SPINAL SURGEON... DOCTOR ABUBAKAR (ABU-BAKER) DURRANI... IS ACCUSED OF PERFORMING UNNECESSARY OPERATIONS. BUT HE'S NOT HERE TO DEFEND HIMSELF. PROSECUTORS SAY HE LEFT THE COUNTRY. WL-WT'S ANDREW SETTERS IS LEADING THE WAY... WITH THE UNUSUAL TRIAL THAT'S NOW UNDERWAY. EVEN BEFORE THE TRIAL BEGAN, THERE WERE FIREWORKS, WITH DOCTOR ABUBAKAR DURRANI'S LAWYER ASKING FOR A DELAY. MICHAEL LYON SAYS DOCTOR DURRANI'S INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS TO BE RELEASED FROM LIABILITY FOR DURANNI'S ACTIONS, BECAUSE THE DOCTOR FLED THE COUNTRY. THE PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY ERIC DETERS PUSHED FOR THE TRIAL TO MOVE FORWARD: (Eric Deters, attorney) ("I have 400 people - and Crystal Pierce is the first one ready for trial - who have had unnecessary spine surgeries and Doctor Durrani is indicted, he is set for trial, he flees the country and everyone wants to worry about Doctor Durrani and the defense and everything else.") CRYSTAL PIERCE IS ONE OF THE DOCTOR'S PATIENTS WHO IS SUING HIM FOR MALPRACTICE. DURRANI HAS HAD HIS MEDICAL LICENSE SUSPENDED AND IS FACING FEDERAL CHARGES THAT COULD SEND HIM TO PRISON FOR DECADES. HE'S ACCUSED OF PERFORMING UNNECESSARY SURGERY AND USING UNAPPROVED PRACTICES, ALONG WITH BILLING AND PRESCRIPTION FRAUD. IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS - DURRANI HAS DISAPPEARED, APPARENTLY FLEEING TO HIS HOME COUNTRY OF PAKISTAN. IT MAKES DEFENDING HIM MUCH MORE DIFFICULT. (Michael Lyon, attorney) ("Absolutely - no question about it - it makes it very difficult to defend for obvious reasons, he's not here in person to answer questions about what he did and how he did it. The presence of the doctor in a medical malpractice case is normally very very vital and important.") (Andrew Setters) ("The judge pointed out that this case has been waiting a long time to go to trial, and it will move forward.") AND THAT MEANS DOCTOR DURRANI WON'T BE HERE TO HELP IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. FROM THE HAMILTON COURT COURTHOUSE, ANDREW SETTERS, WLWT NEWS FIVE. THIS FIRST TRIAL IS SCHEDULED TO LAST 10 DAYS. IT'S THE FIRST OF MANY MORE TO COME - WITH DOCTOR DURRANI ALSO FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES IN FEDERAL COURT.

Reaction to the Death of Joe Paterno
As reaction filters in to the death of Joe Paterno, the Fix will post statements in this space:
The Paterno family:
It is with great sadness that we announce that Joe Paterno passed away earlier today. His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled.
He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community.
He has been many things in his life _ a soldier, scholar, mentor, coach, friend and father. To my mother he was and is her soul mate, and the last several weeks have shown the strength of their love. To his children and grandchildren he is a shining example of how to live a good, decent and honest life, a standard to which we aspire.
When he decided to forego a career in law and make coaching his vocation, his father Angelo had but one command: Make an impact.
As the last 61 years have shown, Joe made an incredible impact. That impact has been felt and appreciated by our family in the form of thousands of letters and well wishes along with countless acts of kindness from people whose lives he touched. It is evident also in the thousands of successful student athletes who have gone on to multiply that impact as they spread out across the country.
And so he leaves us with a peaceful mind, comforted by his "living legacy" of five kids, 17 grandchildren, and hundreds of young men whose lives he changed in more ways than can begin to be counted.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family requests that donations be made to the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania or the Penn State-THON, The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon.
Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky:
This is a sad day! Our family, Dottie and I would like to convey our deepest sympathy to Sue and her family. Nobody did more for the academic reputation of Penn State than Joe Paterno. He maintained a high standard in a very difficult profession. Joe preached toughness, hard work and clean competition. Most importantly, he had the courage to practice what he preached. Nobody will be able to take away the memories we all shared of a great man, his family, and all the wonderful people who were a part of his life.
Former Penn State interim football coach Tom Bradley:
Words seem to pale in a moment such as this. The terms "icon" and "legend" have been often used to describe Joe Paterno. Certainly, he was both within the world of college athletics. But to those of us who played for him, to those of us who coached with him and to those of us who had the privilege to call him a friend, Joe Paterno was much more.
To me, he was my mentor for 37 years and the lessons that I learned from him as a player, coach and friend will live on with me forever. It was Coach Paterno who saw what I could be and helped me to realize that potential. He was a tremendous teacher not because he knew all of the answers but because he challenged us to find the answers for ourselves. He made us better men than we believed we could be -– both on and off the field. And when we lost our way or became unsure of ourselves, it was Coach Paterno who was there to encourage us, guide us and remind us that we must always strive to succeed with honor.
Coach Paterno never believed that his role as "Coach" ended after practice, or when the fourth quarter wound down or when a student-athlete graduated. He was a coach for life. I am deeply grateful to have had Coach Paterno in my life. He was the epitome of class and his spirit will live on in all of us who had the great honor of knowing him and running out of the tunnel with him on so many autumn Saturdays.
My thoughts and prayers are with Coach Paterno's devoted wife, Sue, his son Jay, with whom I coached so many years, and with the entire Paterno family during this sad and difficult time.
Penn State football coach Bill O'Brien:
It is with great sadness that I am compelled to deliver this message of condolence and tribute to a great man, husband, father and someone who is more than just a coach, Joe Paterno. First, on behalf of Penn State Football, we offer our sincerest condolences to the Paterno family for their loss. We also offer our condolences to the Penn State community and, in particular, to those who wore the Penn State colors, our Nittany Lion football players and alumni. Today they lost a great man, coach, mentor and, in many cases, a father figure, and we extend our deepest sympathies. The Penn State Football program is one of college football's iconic programs because it was led by an icon in the coaching profession in Joe Paterno. There are no words to express my respect for him as a man and as a coach. To be following in his footsteps at Penn State is an honor. Our families, our football program, our university and all of college football have suffered a great loss, and we will be eternally grateful for Coach Paterno's immeasurable contributions.
Penn State Board of Trustees and Penn State President Rodney Erickson:
We grieve for the loss of Joe Paterno, a great man who made us a greater university. His dedication to ensuring his players were successful both on the field and in life is legendary and his commitment to education is unmatched in college football. His life, work and generosity will be remembered always.
The University plans to honor him for his many contributions and to remember his remarkable life and legacy. We are all deeply saddened.
Penn State President Emeritus Graham Spanier:
It was my privilege and honor to work with Joe Paterno for more than 16 years. He was a distinguished American, a legendary coach, and Penn State's greatest ambassador. He provided unprecedented leadership for academic advancement, philanthropy, and athletic excellence and integrity for more than 60 years. I join Penn Staters and others in mourning his passing.
Former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley:
Words cannot express the sorrow my family and I feel. Joe has been an integral part of my life for more than 35 years. Joe coached me, mentored me, taught me what it meant to compete with integrity and honor, and above all demonstrated with each day that he lived, the power of humility. Our thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences go out to the Paterno family.
Former Penn State vice president Gary Schultz:
With profound sadness, my family and I want to express our heartfelt condolences for the Paterno family today. I had the sincere honor and distinct pleasure to work with Joe for many, many years at Penn State. No one loved Penn State more than Joe. We will all miss him.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett:
Susan and I were saddened to learn of Joe Paterno's passing. His legacy as the winningest coach in major college football and his generosity to Penn State as an institution and to his players, stand as monuments to his life. As both man and coach, Joe Paterno confronted adversities, both past and present, with grace and forbearance.
His place in our state's history is secure.
Former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden:
I returned home at noon from coaching in the Battle of Florida game last night, when my wife Ann told me of Joe's passing. We were both very saddened by the news. I had heard last night how serious his condition was, and prayed all night for him to recover. But he is in a better place now; that is one thing I know for sure.
It's going to be very hard to imagine college football without Joe in this world. I met Joe in 1962 when I was the head coach at Howard College and he was an assistant at Penn State. I took a train up to State College to watch them during spring practice. We started playing each other once I got to West Virginia University in 1966 as an assistant coach, which was Joe's first year as Penn State's head coach. We had many great battles over the 40 plus years, and many great times together with our wives on various coaching trips.
Joe was about as good a coach as anybody — with all of the great wins, championships, and the things he gave to college football. He graduated his players, made a wonderful impact on so many of those young men, and was the heart of Penn State University for so many decades. The entire Bowden family is going to miss him dearly, and are all praying for Sue and the rest of the Paterno family during this very difficult time.
Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer:
I am deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Coach Joe Paterno. He was a man who I have deep respect for as a human being, as a husband and father, as a leader and as a football coach. I was very fortunate to have been able to develop a personal relationship with him, especially over the course of the last several years, and it is something that I will always cherish.
My prayers and thoughts go out to his wife, Sue, and to their family, and also to the family he had at Penn State University. We have lost a remarkable person and someone who affected the lives of so many people in so many positive ways. His presence will be dearly missed. His legacy as a coach, as a winner and as a champion will carry on forever.
Maribeth Roman Schmidt, the spokeswoman for the Penn State alumni group Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship:
To Sue and the Paterno children: thank you for so unselfishly sharing your husband and father with so many of us for so long. Through him, we all witnessed and learned lessons of respect, loyalty, and of course, "Success with Honor." Further, he taught us how to be elite, without being elitist. The biggest tribute to Joe Paterno, though, isn't the library with his name on it, the stadium expanded numerous times during his tenure, or even the thousands of players who've gone on to exemplify his leadership philosophies. No, the most significant tribute to Joe Paterno is the millions of fans – everyday men, women and children — he not only entertained, but inspired to be better human beings. When we lead our lives with generosity, commitment and humility, we carry on the legacy of Joseph V. Paterno, one of the truly great leaders of our time.

How to eat a mango:
pick one at the store that looks red and ripe but isn't
take it home and let it sit for three days,
gathering dust up on the shelf
find it again, just after midnight
when the hunger sets in
ask friends and family for direction
try and internalize what you hear
rinse it off — not well,
but just enough that
your peculiar hygienic obsessions are quelled
lay aside your fear of what you don't know
try and get an image from your childhood stuck in your head
out of your head and into the dustbin
fail miserably.
take the mango and look for a paring knife
but finding none, choose a bread knife from the carving block
stale memories adhering to its sides
slice it lengthwise, cutting around the oblong pit
instead, slice directly into the pit and, finding no path,
turn it over and try again.
repeat until you end up with five attempts laid out before you
smell the unripe, sour smell of a mutilated skin
and a deep gash in your thumb that won't stop bleeding
and floods into the fruit.
put the knife down (and away),
wrap your thumb in a paper towel affixed with duct tape.
pick out the crumbs from the folds in the skin
try and sort your humiliation out from your pride
as you take a deep breath and try again.
peel off the thick skin, taking small strips of flesh with it
attempt to chew off these tough veins
and receive a sour, tart unpleasantness on your tongue.
really do it this time, full-bore into the fruit
tear all the skin off and leave it on the counter
pick up your prize, unseemly and bleeding.
go at it like an animal, feel the ofttimes sour, sometimes sweet
taste flood onto your tongue.
appreciate the small things
like your mango failures
and don't worry about
the way you look,
mango bits stuck in your beard
sticky juice drying quick onto your chin.
Remember the mango
and dream of further fruits.
'Non, je ne regrette rien'

Sighting Details
I was outside of my house in my backyard. I was looking at the sky and observed one object that appeared to bright, large, low and seemingly too close to be a star. The object appeared to be moving subtly but more like hovering. I then noticed a second light that appeared to be much smaller, much further away and blinking. I initially thought it was a star, but it seemed to be moving much more than the other object and at times it seemed like it was jumping when it appeared to descend slightly. This smaller objects flight pattern at times seemed erratic, and honestly I wasnt sure if that was some sort of optical illusion given the blinking and distance. I dont know maybe it was a star. I really dont think it was. Especially the first object i noticed which i remarked was larger and brighter than the other object. Im hoping its possible to zoom in on the lights in my video to at least determine if the larger object is a star or not. The main thing that makes me think they arent stars is that their position in relation to eachother clearly changes at different points throughout the video. My sighting ended because i decided to go inside as i got paranoid about intelligent life being aware of me recording.

Zaftig's - BrooklineEaten by Elizabeth Halen at 10:52 AM
After prelims I needed to get the heck out of Philly, so I scored a super affordable ticket and got on a plane headed to Boston!
I did a bit of food research before the trip and the number one place I wanted to hit, was Zaftig's on Harvard Street in Brookline. Their entire menu is online, so if you live in Boston or are traveling near Boston, I highly recommend you check out the menu.
We went on a Friday morning, well early afternoon really. I was planning on having something sweet and coffee, but when I sat down and looked at the menu, something very New England jumped out at me, and Angela ordered us two mimosas before I even had time think about coffee, so my plan was entirely changed, but for the better.
Here is my McIntosh apple and white cheddar omelet, served with potatoes (cooked with leeks!), Rye bread, and fresh fruit. I don't like cantaloupe or honeydew, so these went uneaten, but I gobbled up the strawberries. The omelet was really delicious. We've all enjoyed the fruit cheese combination as an opener or in substitute of dessert, but this was a first for me as a breakfast, with eggs. The sweet/salty combination of the apple and cheese went nicely with the eggs and potatoes, and the champagne that came with the mimosa was not too dry, bringing my varied breakfast flavors together in a very excellent way.
Angela had the Challah French toast (which was delicious, she let me have a bite or three)and an over easy egg on the side. And of course, a mimosa. This is Angela's camera work (nice job, Ang).
And one of the 5 shots I tried to take of Angela with her drink, I'd post them all here, but she might be embarrassed and the rest of you might get bored. Now if only I posted the pictures of Angela from the Halloween party we went to on Saturday...no one would bored.

The Bolton boxer confirmed he has parted ways with the owner of the famous Wild Card gym
Amir Khan has confirmed his split from world-renowned trainer Freddie Roach and will announce his replacement later today.
There have been rumblings the Bolton boxer and Roach would go their separate ways after the former suffered a stunning fourth-round knockout loss to Danny Garcia for the WBC and WBA light-welterweight titles in July.
Khan wrote on his Twitter account in the early of hours of the morning: "Officially iv left freddie roach. Just spoke to his and had a good professional chat and maybe in the future we work together.

While driving on a county road south west of Purcell, Oklahoma, myself and two others observed a bright, pulsating, multicolored, sphere-shaped light above the northern horizon. It appeared to be stationary and was probably 10-15 miles away from us over the Norman, Oklahoma area. I have observed aircraft with their landing lights on coming and going from the Oklahoma City area for years, but none of them pulsated and changed colors as this light did. It seemed to flash red, white, blue, orange and possibly green in quick procession. We joked that it was a "Christmas star" because of the colors and the fact that it quite nearly looked like an LED light in the sky. We lost sight of it because we went down a hill. By the time we got a view of the horizon again, it was gone. I have observed many strange aircraft lights along that horizon in recent years and it seems that more and more reports of these lights are being made. I suspect it might have something to do with Tinker Air Force Base.

University of Puerto Rico Botanical Gardens
Another 'Top 10″ attraction of PR and San Juan in particular.
Yes, the gardens on the grounds of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) had been on my original 'hit-list' of places to see. I'm a little ashamed I had not come to visit before now. The SJ Photo MeetUp Group decided to come back and check it out so that was all the excuse I needed.
Though some tropical plants flower year round, this is the tail end of the summertime flower explosion. There is something in bloom year round, but it was evident that many things had gone to seed or past that. The dry season starts in late December so most things go into a dormant state.
The weather was sunny, balmy and in the the mid-80's F.
I would normally wear shorts, but I often need to kneel for shots so jeans are a minimum. A hat is a good idea too as well as an umbrella for afternoon showers. Continue reading

The Botanical and Cultural Gardens of Caguas
Jardin Botanico y Cultural de Caguas
This most beautiful, lush park covers 60 acres.
Another, much larger botanical garden is located in San Juan on the grounds of the University of Puerto Rico. There is a 3rd botanical garden located near Mayaguez, also run by the University. Both of which I plan to visit sometime down the road. There are also several smaller private gardens as well.
Getting to the Caguas Botanical Gardens is pretty straightforward. From San Juan, you take Hwy 18 South to Hwy 52 South and get off at Exit 18. Take Hwy 196 to the right. Hwy 196 ends at the driveway to the Jardin Botanico y Cultural de Caguas where it intersects Hwy 156. Continue reading
