Double Standards: Instagram Deletes then Reinstates Plus-Size Woman's Account
Posted by IGIGI on July 22, 2014
From Jezebel we learned of Instagram deleting a plus-size woman's account because it deemed a photo of her wearing a white bra and polka-dot boy shorts inappropriate. After the photo was tagged, her whole account was rendered inactive.
Nineteen-year-old Ohio college student Samm Newman said that when she was younger, she dealt with bullying over her weight, which led her to resort to self harm. But she found strength in the online body positivity community and began to proudly post pictures of herself.
It was not until she was interviewed by NBC News 4 that Instagram apologized and reinstated her account with the following statement:
"When our team processes reports from other members of the Instagram community, we occasionally make a mistake. In this case, we wrongly removed content and worked to rectify the error as soon as we were notified. We apologize for any inconvenience."
A quick perusal of Instagram shows many, MANY photos of straight size women wearing fitness clothing, bikinis, and sometimes even less – why is it that the social networking giant would deem a plus-size woman inappropriate? We can all see the double standard here – and it has to stop.

Also, tax offices charge the most during their peak season which is late January and early February when they are the busiest during certain times. They keep their offices staffed to the max to minimize customer wait time. This increases the payroll costs, so fees are increased during this period. If you can wait until the end of February or beginning of March, you will pay less in tax prep fees.

At least she has a pretty nice bum to be plastered around. A lot less embarrassing that way.

Tropical Storm Isaac is getting better organized as it approaches the Carribbean.
The storm's maximum sustained winds early Wednesday are near 45 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Isaac is expected to strengthen and could become a hurricane by Thursday.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and a swath of islands across the Caribbean including Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, St. Martin, St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, Anguilla, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, Culebra and Vieques.
Isaac is centered about 210 miles east of Guadeloupe and is moving west near 19 mph.
Isaac also poses a possible threat to Florida during next week's Republican National Convention in Tampa.

After voters turned down a tax levy to build two new swimming pools, Medford officials had to come up with a new plan to revitalize Hawthorne Park. That proposal now carries a higher price tag, but the additional investment is worth it.
The City Council, acting as the Medford Urban Renewal Agency board, will consider the plan in a meeting at 6 tonight. Board members should make every effort to approve the full proposal.
Besides removing the closed and unusable Hawthorne Pool, the plan calls for a dog park, separated into areas for large and small pets; a skate park at the park's northwest corner near the intersection of Jackson Street and Biddle Road; a play area and a spray pad where children can get wet in warm weather; basketball and free play courts; and expanded parking. The plan also includes restoration work along Bear Creek, a creek overlook area, a picnic shelter, new walkways and lighting, and new restrooms.
The latest plan is estimated to cost $1.7 million — more than the $1.5 million base plan that already exceeded the $1 million MURA originally set aside for the park. But officials note that figure represents worst-case scenarios, and the various elements of the plan could end up costing less when bids are submitted.
As municipal improvement projects go, $1.7 million is a relatively small expense, and we think it's warranted.
Without a new pool, a water feature is essential to draw families, as is the proposed skate park — which would be designed with beginning skaters in mind.
On Tuesday night, the Medford Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend that the MURA board adopt the full proposal. Commission Chairman Rich Hansen has backed the expanded plans and urged his fellow commissioners to do so as well.
A primary goal of the restoration work has always been to make Hawthorne an attractive destination for families, which would discourage transients from frequenting the park, which has caused problems in the past. If that is still the city's intention, family-friendly features such as the water feature and the skate park are essential.

Put some of that famed German efficiency to work and get your website working! Almost without fail these days, the equine website is down on every race day, which is a bit like a polling station shutting its doors on election day, i.e. no earthly use.
EB, as he is known (or has he restyled himself "E" since his divorce from the daughter of one of Germany's top stud farmers, Astrid Bregses? – yes, he really adopted his wife's name when they got married), is a stickler for high standards with a reputedly short fuse, so heaven help those IT guys when der Boss finds out that one of the club's major promotional tools – which also hosts his blog – has become something of a joke.
Perhaps he should put wife number two (whose name I don't believe he has taken, which some might deem inequitable) onto the problem. After all, she shares a reputation for the kind of can-do spirit that characterised another eminent Hong Kong First Lady, Betty Tung Chiu Hung-ping, wife of former Chief Execrable Tung Chee-hwa. Betty, it should be recalled, was given the nickname "A1" on account of her insistence on always travelling in the first-class seat of that description – even when someone else had paid for it.

Mountains to Molehills: 'Ace' Albree
Published: Friday, February 14, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 10:02 a.m.
Just call him "Ace" — that is, for the sixth time. Yep, John Albree, a resident of Tryon Estates in Columbus, N.C., hit another hole-in-one last Friday at Tryon Country Club — this time from 126 yards away. That makes five holes-in-one at Tryon Country Club over the past 30 months. His first hole-in-one occurred March 3, 1986, at Duck Woods Country Club on the Outer Banks. "This latest," says Mr. Albree, "was made on the 18th hole. I used my TaylorMade 7 wood. My playing partners were the president of Tryon Country Club, Jerry Perry, and my friend and frequent partner, Bill Basye. The two PGA professionals at Tryon Country Club are Gerald Weathers and Buddy Manson, and they think hitting five holes-in-one in a 30-month period is remarkable. For an 85-year-old retired Army officer, I am humbled and thrilled to still have the opportunity to play golf at Tryon Country Club at least three days per week, weather permitting."
'RARE OCCURRENCE': Speaking of achievements worth noting, a husband and wife bowling last Wednesday in the afternoon Senior Mixed League at Tarheel Lanes in Hendersonville were far from loafing, reports Dennis Berman. "It was another rare achievement for the league," he says. "Betty Harris, in the final game, had the first seven strikes in a row and bowled a very nice 234 game. On top of that, her total for the three games was a strong 545. Next came a bit of irony. Bowling on the same pair of alleys, in opposition to Betty's team, was Betty's husband, Al Harris. Al bowled three games in the 180s, and, like his wife's three games, they totaled 545. It is a rare occurrence for husband and wife to bowl the same total and both to bowl equally well. Congratulations to these good bowlers and fine team members."
OH, MY!: An older gentleman had one of the best seats for the opening ceremony at the Winter Olympics. As he took his seat, he noticed that the seat next to him was empty. He asked the man on the other side of the empty seat whether anyone would be sitting there. "No," the man replied. "The seat is empty." "This is incredible," said the first man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this at one of the greatest events in the world and not show up?" The second man replied, "Well, sir, actually the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come to the Winter Olympics with my wife, but something terrible happened. She passed away. This will be the first Winter Olympics we have not attended together since we got married back in 1967." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible," said the first man. "Couldn't you find someone else — a friend or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?" The man shook his head and said, "No. They're all at the funeral."

Zephyrs turn back Isotopes
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Brian Flynn pitched seven shut-out innings as the New Orleans Zephyrs held off a late rally to beat the Albuquerque Isotopes, 3-2, on Sunday in front of 6,598 fans at Isotopes Park.

The Zephyrs scored on an error in the forth inning for a 1-0 lead. Following Jake Smolinski's seventh-inning double, Kyle Jensen made the score 2-0 on a sacrifice fly. Smolinski hit a solo home run in the ninth inning for a 3-0 lead.
The Isotopes scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

MONTREAL (CP) -- Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said Saturday morning he would like his team to learn to play more like the Chicago Blackhawks.
A few hours later, Therrien's Canadiens went out and showed they may not need the lesson.
Andrei Markov's second goal of the game came at 1:28 of overtime to give the Canadiens a 2-1 win against the Blackhawks at Bell Centre.
Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook had his pass to Duncan Keith behind the Blackhawks net cut off by Max Pacioretty, whose centering pass was deflected out to the point to Markov. The defenseman's wrist shot to the far top corner beat Corey Crawford for his fifth goal of the season.
Crawford had made a tremendous pad save on a Tomas Plekanec breakaway the shift prior to allowing Markov's goal.
Carey Price made 19 saves for the Canadiens (26-15-5), who won for the second time in three games.
Marian Hossa scored for the Blackhawks (29-8-10), who lost their second straight and have won twice in their past seven games (2-1-4), their worst stretch of the season.
Therrien tasked the line of Plekanec, Brian Gionta and Travis Moen with facing the Blackhawks' top line of Jonathan Toews, Hossa and Patrick Sharp. Sharp and Toews entered the game each riding four-game point streaks and the duo had combined for 12 goals and 13 assists in their previous eight games.
The Plekanec line and the defensive pair of P.K. Subban and Josh Gorges were effective in limiting the line's chances through 49 minutes, but couldn't do it all night; Sharp and Toews set up Hossa's tying goal at 9:22 of the third period to make it 1-1.
The Blackhawks had two tremendous chances to win the game late in regulation. Bryan Bickell hit the post with 1:40 to play in the third. Moments later, Toews drove the net hard against Price and a loose puck came to Sharp on the lip of the crease, but he missed the open side of the net.
Crawford has not won in his past six starts (0-3-3), and he was denied his first victory in his second career start in his hometown, but the loss Saturday was not his fault. He made 36 saves, including one that should be a save of the year candidate late in the second period to allow the Blackhawks to enter the third period down 1-0.
With the Blackhawks on a power play, Plekanec took a shot on Crawford and as he skated through the Chicago crease on his way back to his zone, he knocked Crawford's stick out of his hands and into the corner.
The Canadiens came quickly back up ice with Brandon Prust coming in on a partial break that Crawford stopped with a pad-stack save. But Lars Eller was following up for the rebound and appeared to have an empty net, except Crawford made a desperate kick with his left leg and got the blade of his skate on the puck, deflecting it wide with a little more than a minute remaining in the period.
The Blackhawks came out of the gates flying early on and were controlling the play right off the opening faceoff until a pair of penalties to defensemen Michel Kostka and Niklas Hjalmarsson, both for tripping Daniel Briere, in a span of 1:58 midway through the first switched the momentum in the Canadiens' favor.
Montreal was unable to capitalize on it, however, entering the second intermission in a scoreless tie despite outshooting Chicago 11-6.
The Canadiens continued to carry the play in the second, holding a 17-10 advantage in shots when Markov scored on Montreal's 18th shot through a George Parros screen at 12:54.
Crawford and Price traded saves over the next few minutes until Subban took a delay of game penalty at 17:17 of the second, which ultimately led to Crawford's highlight reel stop on Eller that maintained Chicago's one-goal deficit heading to the third.

The circumstances of the WWE's Night of Champions is pretty obvious. Five title belts will be on the line, with 10 singles (and two tag teams) competing for pay-per-view glory.
Some champions will emerge victorious from Sunday night's bout and hold onto their title, but others won't be as lucky.
This is a secondary event on the PPV schedule, but that doesn't mean it has to be uneventful. With much larger events looming on the WWE slate, this is a chance to build, at least, a few storylines for the coming months.
I'm expecting a few titles to change hands Sunday night. Let's see which ones.
Tag Team Title
R-Truth and Kofi Kingston currently hold the tag team championship, but newly formed tag team Kane and Daniel Bryan will wear the belts before Sunday night is over.
Who wins?
Kane and Daniel Bryan just make sense here. They are two headline names, and the "new" factor comes into play here. Making things official prior to Night of Champions makes winning a championship the only possible outcome on Sunday.
Kingston and R-Truth have had a solid run, but the tag team division desperately needs a marquee team. It hasn't been given much attention lately, and it deserves to receive more.
Look for Kane and Bryan to start their reign on the right foot by winning the championship Sunday night.
WWE Title
Paul Heyman's presence seems to make a CM Punk loss impossible, but I think John Cena finds a way to get it done in front of his home crowd.
Boston is the perfect stage for Cena to take his title back. Punk's new role as a heel and his alliance with Heyman certainly stacks the deck against the former champion, but it's been far too long since he has worn the gold.
I do expect this match to face some sort of interference. Heyman is notorious for meddling in his allies' affairs, and this is a prime spot. It's hard to say who will storm the ring, but expect one of Cena's pinfalls to be broken up.
However, Cena will prevail. This is a secondary PPV event, but the WWE has a chance to ignite the crowd with this main event.
This match will take multiple twists and turns, but Cena's reputation and home-field advantage will provide the edge. He's one of the greatest champions in WWE history, and the company will give him another shot for the time being.

Fifty years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr. gave his historic and epic speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial:
Here is what Governor Palin has noted about Martin Luther King Jr over the last few years:
Earlier this year on his birthday she noted:
This year marks 50 years since Martin Luther King stood before the Lincoln Memorial to proclaim his dream and remind the world that 100 years had passed since President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Now, 150 years after that historic signing, Americans still stand with both these men, ever committed to the freedoms that they worked to secure. They dedicated their lives for freedom, including freedom from stifling, overbearing governments. We will not squander what their efforts have wrought, we will not take for granted the blood that has been shed, and we will not fail to do our part to help preserve the freedoms that are uniquely American. In Dr. King's own words, "Let freedom ring!" So, to these freedoms we cling so that future generations may know and love the America that those before us so sacrificially gave.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today is a day to reflect on the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King dedicated himself to justice and the struggles of an imperfect world. In the face of fierce opposition, he stood up for the oppressed, and he ultimately sacrificed all for equality and freedom. His was a remarkable life of love and service for all mankind. His work must continue.
With Dr. King's faith in God and his unwavering hope in a brighter, stronger future, let us recommit today to continuing his work for a more peaceful and just nation.
On this date in 2010, she spoke at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally. In part she stated:
We stand today at the symbolic crossroads of our nation's history. All around us are monuments to those who have sustained us in word or deed. There in the distance stands the monument to the father of our country. And behind me, the towering presence of the Great Emancipator who secured our union at the moment of its most perilous time and freed those whose captivity was our greatest shame. And over these grounds where we are so honored to stand today, we feel the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who on this very day, two score and seven years ago, gave voice to a dream that would challenge us to honor the sacred charters of our liberty – that all men are created equal.
Now, in honoring these giants, who were linked by a solid rock foundation of faith in the one true God of justice, we must not forget the ordinary men and women on whose shoulders they stood. The ordinary called for extraordinary bravery. I am speaking, of course, of America's finest – our men and women in uniform, a force for good in this country, and that is nothing to apologize for.
Abraham Lincoln once spoke of the "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land." For over 200 years, those mystic chords have bound us in gratitude to those who are willingly to sacrifice, to restrain evil, to protect God-given liberty, to sacrifice all in defense of our country.
I can't add anything to what those two great Americans have shared.
On to the news…
40,000 pages of straight up bureaucracy
The triumvirate of hypocrites–Obama, Biden, and Kerry.
Gun control is a war on women.
Competence and confidence can indeed go a long way, regardless of gender.
Personally, I think inside baseball would be THE sport, but the chances of D.C. getting the Olympics are about as likely as Chicago's.
Happy Wednesday!

There are two kinds of people in the world: Letterman people and Leno people.
Jay Leno is a funny guy, and he has bits that make me chuckle, but I mourn where he's taken The Tonight Show from what it once was. This television tradition now feels like a bowl of bland jello, and it remains to be seen if Conan O'Brien will be able to restore any of its former glory.
David Letterman, to me, is the heir to the great lineage of talk show tradition. It's ironic, because in his NBC days he was seen as the reckless young agitator, but today he is the elder statesman. Though he's taken on a more conventional role in some ways, he's now in a position where he doesn't have to care what other people say or do.
If you need any evidence that Letterman is at the top of his game, witness the train wreck that was last night's interview with Joaquin Phoenix. In one of the most bizarre and uncomfortable moments ever seen on television, you can observe Letterman at the beginning of the interview almost debating whether or not to swoop in for the kill on this actor who is obviously just completely gone. It doesn't take Dave long to decide, what the hell, I'm going for it.
Check out the full interview below, and this page has other great moments from Letterman's past that have him serving as ringmaster for some mind-bogglingly odd television moments.

Roger moves on
31.03.2008 | Tennis
Roger needed just 47 minutes to reach the fourth round of the Miami Masters on Monday as Swede Robin Soderling retired with illness. Our champion advanced 6-4, 3-0. Roger is now 5-0 lifetime against Soderling.
"I think it was good for me to go out there and play today," Roger told reporters. "Apparently it was a fever. There was no point in his continuing and risking his health,"
"I hope I can make it step by step and once you make it to the quarter-finals or semi-finals you start thinking about winning the title."
Roger's fourth-round opponent will be Argentine José Acasuso, a 6-4, 6-4 winner against Israeli Dudi Sela.
Today I remained to calmer, very healthful you looked, in very good physical training conditions es. By the way that you were absolutely forceful. I am. happy,happy and happy
Dearest Roger, I was at your match today and blew you a kiss (from your TriniMum). Mirka, Reto and the rest of your party were seated just behind and above me.
I spoke with Mirka and told her I loved you -- she smiled and replied that she did too. I tol

SRAM X0 Rear Derailleur 10sp
SRAM Exact Actuation for precise and dependable 10-speed performance. New Chassis - focused design for all conditions and usage. 190 grams - Super light weight and durable. 36 tooth cassette capability. 3 cage lengths available - Short for DH, Medium for 2X10 and Long for 3X10.
Direct Route Technology
Here's the dirt on middlemen: they suck. That's why Direct Route Technology™ doesn't have one. Instead, the cable routes directly to the actuation mechanism. Result? Less friction. Less effort. More oomph. Plus it's impervious to cable housing damage. Nice.
Exact Actuation
When we launched our road technology from scratch we reapplied our MTB proven SRAM 1:1 actuation ratio (shifter cable travel: derailleur movement) for 10 speed rear shifting. EA helps to simplify/stabilize the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing and exact cable tension. The result: the easiest index shifting system to set up and it stays that

Neda: Iran's symbol of protest
As we continue our apathy in the face of the destruction of our democracy by Gloria Arroyo, Iran sizzles to regain their democracy.
Amateur video turns woman into icon of Iran's unrest
She lies in the Tehran street with her headscarf half-off, blood pooling around her jeans and white sneakers.
"Don't be afraid, Neda dear, don't be afraid," a white-haired man says desperately in Persian. Another man presses on her chest, trying to keep her alive.
Scarlet blood gushes from her nose and mouth and courses across her pale face. Men and women scream in horror as they realize she is dead or dying.
The death of the woman identified as Neda Agha Soltan was captured on amateur videos and spread around the world in less than 48 hours on YouTube, Facebook, blogs and Twitter, searing the image into millions of minds. It turned the woman described as a 27-year-old music student into an instant icon of the clash between Iran's cleric-led government and the self-described "green wave" movement that claims hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stole his June 12 re-election through fraud.
The seconds-long videos also thwarted government attempts to suppress details surrounding election protests. Rules imposed last week barred independent media from street reporting and turned the people of Iran into an essential source of information on the unrest, documenting it with camera phones and e-mailing the images out to the world.
At least two recordings of Soltan's death, shot from different angles by what appear to be camera phones, began appearing widely online Saturday, the day thousands of protesters defied an order from Iran's supreme leader and marched to demand a new election. Waiting police and pro-government militia launched baton charges, tear gas and water cannons.
One of the amateur videos of Soltan is 40 seconds long, the other only 14. The person who posted the longer one says it was taken on Workers' Avenue in central Tehran.
'Freedom for all'
The woman's fiance, Caspain Makan, said she was not a firm backer of either main opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi or Ahmadinejad. She simply "wanted freedom for all," he told BBC Persia in an interview.
"When the clashes were occurring, Neda was far away from the demonstrations, she was in one of the side alleys near Amir Abad," Makan said, according to a translation of the interview. "Thirsty and tired or being cooped up for about an hour in the car in heavy traffic with her music instructor, she finally gets out of the car and, based on the pictures sent in by the people, armed forces in civilian clothes and the Basiji (Iranian militia) targeted and shot her in the heart."
He said Neda died in her instructor's arms before she could be taken to a hospital.
Makan added that Basijis and mosque officials refused a request for a public memorial service.
"They knew that Neda … died innocently, and people in Iran and the international community are informed of that fact. So they decided to avoid a situation where a mass rally would take place," he said, according to the BBC interview.
Power of social media
Protesters outside Iran have made posters of Soltan's bloodied face. Poems, tributes and angry denunciations of Iran's government have multiplied online. In some, she is compared to the lone man standing with shopping bags in his hands in front of a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square.
Videos of Soltan's death have been circulating inside Iran despite official blocking of Web sites including Facebook and jamming of satellite television signals. People have used anti-filtering software to circumvent the controls. Some Iranians have uploaded the footage to their cell phones and used Bluetooth technology to share it.
The bloody imagery could have an important impact on public opinion inside Iran, where the idea of martyrdom resonates deeply among a populace steeped in the stories and imagery of Shiite Islam, a faith founded on the idea of self-sacrifice in the cause of justice.
The deaths of protesters during the 1979 Islamic Revolution fueled a 40-day cycle of mourning marches, and shootings of mourners, that contributed to the overthrow of the U.S.-backed dictator, Shah Reza Pahlavi.
In memory of 'martyrs'
Police officials said Saturday that they had ordered officers to restrain their use of force, promising deadlier measures only if protesters returned to the streets. The government media still reported seven deaths of protesters they accused of instigating violence and rioting. It was not clear if Soltan was counted among them.
Acquaintances said she had been shot by a plainclothes member of the pro-government Basij militia, a fiercely loyal cadre that answers to the elite Revolutionary Guard and ultimately to the supreme leader. The Basij have been heavily deployed against supporters of opposition presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and blamed by protesters for much of the worst violence against them.
Persian-language postings on blogs and Twitter feeds used by supporters of the opposition called for a rally Monday at Haft-e-tir Square Tehran in memory of Neda and other "martyrs." About 200 gathered there and were quickly dispersed by riot police firing tear gas and live ammunition, quashing the demonstration and barring any further gathering of people, even in pairs, at the normally busy intersection.

Over in the Philippines, over a thousand Nedas have alreadt sacrificed their lives to make life worth living there, pero wa epek pa rin. Sad bad true!
In fact, I remember picture of a young Filipino lad in beach sandals gunned down by a policeman/military officer posted in Malaya during the mass rally for Erap in May 2001. Nobody even bothered to make noise about it. Parang ordinary lang.

oo nga. kung nakukuhanan lang sana lahat ng media yung mga pananakit ng mga bataan ni gloria sa mga rallyistang lumalaban sa kabulukan niya e baka sakaling magising na ang mga walang pakialam.

"Martin Luther King once said, 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,' " Mr. Obama said in a statement released after security forces in the Iranian capital clashed repeatedly with protesters. "I believe that. The international community believes that. And right now, we are bearing witness to the Iranian people's belief in that truth, and we will continue to bear witness." Barack Obama

One victim could be made into a big news by media by continuously showing it. What about that Tianan Men massacre in Beijing wherein hundreds of students killed? What about the recent riots in Thailand? What about the Edsa 3 May Ist riots?
parasabayan - June 23, 2009 12:01 pm
If the bitch insists on her charter change and continue to rule beyond 2010, expect thousands of Nedas who will brave the streets. This may just be my dream but I hope it happens.
bitchevil - June 23, 2009 12:02 pm
And yes, what about the Mendiola Massacre which until now no one has been charged?
TonGuE-tWisTeD - June 23, 2009 2:18 pm
This video may be compared to a movie trailer of the blockbuster release coming from Palace by the River Productions. The premier will be held sometime in May of 2010. For complete details of the movie's plot, read Lito Banayo's latest Malaya column "Never Can Say Goodbye".

Ang Presidente ng Iran, si Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ay isa ring psychopath o sociopath (a person with antisocial personality disorder). Pareho sila ng utak ni gloria. Handang pumatay at gumawa ng masama ng walang pakundangan at pagsisisi. Walang kunsyensiya dahil hindi nila nararamdaman ito. Kapag umupo sa pagiging lider ang may sakit nito, tiyak magdudusa ang bansa, malaki man o maliit. Ang mga kilalang mayroon nito ay nga naging diktador katulad ni Hitler, Mugabe, Kim Jong-il, at sa atin ang mga Pidals. At dahil nga nasa kapangyarihan sila gagamitin nila ito sa kanilang pansarili at maitim na hangarin. Ang masama nito, there is NO known cure for this disorder!

Is there a YouTube video of the Mendiola Massacre? This massacre perpetuated under Pandak's order should be revisited regularly.
Jen - June 23, 2009 7:07 pm
Keep it simple and final–put a bullet between Gloria Arroyo's eyes–that's called self-defense, defending the lives of millions of Filipinos against this woman vulture with insatiable greed. I am so tired of ruthless dictators keeping the Philippines captive. She deserves several death sentences for all her many crimes–just put a bullet between her eyes. BOOM BOOM POW!
chi - June 23, 2009 8:05 pm
I remember, when Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to the US to attend a UN function, it was only the former First Lady Laura Bush who snubbed him, dinaan-daanan lang sa table at ni hindi sinulyapan kahit minsan while the Iran president was waiting for even a Hi from her! In several interviews, Laura was open with her hatred for this guy. Yeah, that's the first lady I most admired!

Gloria Arroyo, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Robert Mugabe are alike, all psychopaths on the loose!

The Iranians had already proven that they are capable of getting rid of tyrants as they did with the Shah and they can do it again in their own time and in their choosing…they have that patience and aim for success…

The Mendiola Massacre happened during Cory's term.
If Iran President is psychopath, what about Bush?
AdeBrux - June 23, 2009 9:23 pm
Ah yes, forgot THAT Mendiola Massacre under Cory. Thanks for correcting.
I was thinking of the other "Mendiola Massacre" after Erap was ousted…
bitchevil - June 23, 2009 9:33 pm
After Erap was ousted was the so called Edsa 3…the May 1st riot wherein four were killed.
Did you guys hear that Comelec is allowing the inmates to vote this coming election? How could these be inmates be given this right when their civil and political rights are suspended. I smell something. Malacanang is now trying to include the inmates' votes. The inmates' votes could easily be altered by the jail guards on order of the Palace.
vic - June 23, 2009 9:55 pm
BE- maybe the COMELEC had heard of the Canada SC rulings on the rights of the Inmates (prisoners)to vote…here in the Archives of History it will relate how the Privilege of the Few became the Right of every Citizen over the age of 18…

We Filipinos learned from Iranians,The people of Iran overthrew a cruel despot(The Shah)who turned Iran into a very progressive country and ended up installing a crackpot clergyman who's steadily turning Iran back to the 12th Century.
The Filipino people overthrew Marcos who disciplined the Filipinos with bicycle and ended-up installing, WHO?
Iranians learned from Filipinos, it is time the Philippines realized that the Iranian playbook is a mirror of the Pidalism system, where Presidential elections show how to steal elections as a model for the rest of the world. Don't Investigate, just Believe! It's the Pinoy Way.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Iranians care more about democracy than we do? Seriously,Gloria Arroyo was "elected" under suspicious circumstances, but most we can muster is a couple of low scale protests and a couple of documentaries and articles that spelled out how the fraud occurred.
I'm sympathetic of what's going on in Iran and hoping for a peaceful outcome of this situation. However, Filipinos really don't have any credibility when it comes to commenting of what should be done in this case of an obviously thrown election.

The effect of Neda to the Iranians could be compared to the effect of Ninoy Aquino's assassination to the Filipinos.
Question is, when would we follow? Shall we wait for a Neda in our midst?

Sad but true. Habang duwag ang mga pilipino, madamot pa magbigay ng serbisyo para sa bayan at nagpapakatanga na lang. I doubt magkakaroon tayo ng parang protests sa iran. i hope i'm wrong sana…
pero tuloy pa rin ang pakikipaglaban siyempre…

BE: Did you guys hear that Comelec is allowing the inmates to vote this coming election?
What? Totoo ba iyan? Aba, gago nga! No wonder wala nang distinction between a law-abiding citizen and a criminal sa Pilipinas.
Baka labas niya, magkaroon pa ng partylist ang mga kriminal na nasentensiyahan na at magkaroon ng representative sa Tongreso ni Gloria Dorobo! Iba na talaga ang takbo ng utak ng mga unggoy ano?
grizzy - June 24, 2009 1:01 am
Si Neda, ordinaryong mamayan na ipinaglalaban ang kaniyang karapatan.
Si Ninoy celebrity na built up ng mga kano at binansagang arch-rival ni Marcos. Cannot compare sa totoo lang. Ang dapat na bigyan ng importansiya ay iyong mga mahihirap na aktibista na sina-salvage ng mga sundalo ni Gloria Dorobo.

Totoo iyong sinabi ni ginoray tungkol sa mga binabatuta ng mga pulis sa Pilipinas tuwing may demonstration doon. Kaya nga iyong isang aktibista na nakasama sa rally namin sa Tokyo, inggit na inggit sa peaceful demonstration namin na maayos.
Nakikita ko iyan sa mga video tapes na tina-translate ko sa wikang hapon at ini-edit para ipalabas sa flash news sa TV namin dito. Abusadong mga pulis sa totoo lang!
Dito maingat kasi mabilis pa sa alas kuwatro ang bar association namin na magsasampa ng reklamo sa korte kapag umabuso ang mga pulis. Di sila basta-basta puedeng mapukpok ng mga rallyist, o magbunot ng baril. Mawawalan sila ng tsapa sa totoo lang.
Utak kamote kasi gaya noong gustong manggulo sa rally namin noong biyernes laban kay Gloria Dorobo at doon sa mga kasama niyang mga Con-Ass na spy na nagpakilalang security siya na kasama sa entourage ni Gloria Dorobo. Di na nahiya ang unggoy na ina-agitate pa iyong mga kasama ko. Palibahasa walang alam sa tamang pagpupulis.
Di siya gumaya doon sa mga pulis na hapon na nagbabantay lang at tinitiyak na hindi kami guguluhin at di rin kami manggugulo at makakaperhuwisyo sa peace and order ng pinagra-rally-han namin dahil alam nilang may karapatan kami. 'Ika nga, "freedom of speech and assembly!" Iyan ang democracy!

"Did you guys hear that Comelec is allowing the inmates to vote this coming election? How could these be inmates be given this right when their civil and political rights are suspended. I smell something. Malacanang is now trying to include the inmates' votes"
On the sarcastic side of this looming possibility, think of it this way folks, if the DEAD are made to vote every election time (in spite of the fact that they do not have the RiGHT to live anymore), what more of the inmates ? Besides, from one "would-be" inmate to another, perhaps it is a gesture on Malacanang's part as a neighborly "HELLO" when they finally flock together as one big happy family Muntinglupa. Aba, tamang-tama pala na makulong si gloria doon. The name of the place alone beckons to her physical stature……………..MUNTI (meaning MALIIT).

There is a difference between convicts and detainees. Detainees are those whose cases are still being heard in the courts (if at all) and have not lost most of their rights, including the right to vote.
Convicts are banned from voting. Therefore, there should be no voting in Muntinlupa since all the inmates there are convicted criminals.

There is a difference between convicts and detainees. Detainees are those whose cases are still being heard in the courts (if at all) and have not lost most of their rights, including the right to vote.
Of course, there is a difference between a convict and a detainee and even with an accused. Kaya nga may iba't ibang term to distinguish one from another. Sa Pilipinas lang medyo malabo kasi pa-ingles-ingles pa di naman pala naiintindihan ng husto. Kaya iyong bobong implementor ng batas, di malaman kung ano ang tama at mali!
Di sana sila malilito kung tama ang registration system nila. Tangnanay nila, iba-iba ang palakad kaya tuloy iyong mga nalito naman, saan iagos doon na lang.
In fact, ang dami kong nami-meet na mga pilipino sa Japan, ang daming ID, iba-iba ang pangalan. Isang pilipina nga dito nakulong for fraud and insurance scam, apat ang birth certificates at tatlong death certificates.
Kaya iyong mga inuutusan ni Gloria Dorobo na mandaya, madaling maka-produce ng voters na walang katawan!!!

The protests around us are prototypes of what we can use. Yet so far, complacency perhaps get the better of the opposition or we just love the status quo. It seems no one really wants to start the ball rolling.

If the Comelec really wants to allow the inmates to vote, then the detained Magdalo soldiers are more than qualified.

Paanong naging bayani itong si Neda?
Naipit lamang sa trapik dulot ng protesta ang kanilang kotse. Nainip sa loob, nauhaw. Lumabas at inakala ng security forces na kasama sa demonstrasyon, binaril. Ibig sabihin, conicidental lamang ang presence niya doon.
Maaari pang sabihing isang inosenteng naging biktima ng pangyayaring may kinalaman sa kaguluhan bunga ng katulad sa Pilipinas na pagmamalabis at pagkagahaman sa kapangyarihan.

Neda, according to the iranian ambassador in mexico was killed by the american cia. according to the doctor who tried to revive her on the street where she fell, Neda was shouting "down with dictatorship". this doctor was afraid he might be jailed so he took at once the plane home to london. She may not be a hero but she became a symbol whether willing or unwilling for those who are protesting the result of the election.
bitchevil - June 27, 2009 2:47 am
See what I mean? The US is always there when there's conflict. CIA is known for her covert activities. CIA is ready to kill innocent civilians to ignite violence against the government the US doesn't want. This brings now to the possibility that CIA could have a role in Ninoy's assassination. For one thing, how was Ninoy able to get a passport in US to fly to Hongkong using the an alyas (Marcial Bonifacio). For such a well known personality wanted in the Philippines, it was unlikely the US authorities failed to check and monitor him.

According to the Iranian's in power, the demonstrators killed Neda to purposely create chaos. What a twisted mind!

Echinaster spinulosus
Echinaster spinulosus, the small spine sea star, is a species of sea star found in shallow parts of the western Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Echinaster spinulosus is a medium sized sea star with five long tapering arms, round in cross section, attached to a central disc. Near one edge of this is the madreporite, a structure used for drawing in water to replenishing the water vascular system. The aboral or upper surface is covered in flat plates, each of which bears several short, blunt spines. These plates are quite prominent. They have fine granulations and are arranged in fifteen to twenty irregular rows that continue down the arms. On the margin of the arms are a row of plates with flattened spines and on the oral (under) surface, on either side of the ambulacral grooves, are larger plates, each bearing one small and two larger spines. In the grooves there are several rows of bright orange tube feet with suckers. The tips of the arms bear tiny orange eye spots and are often turned upwards. This sea star grows to about 6 inches (150 mm) in diameter and its general colour is maroon or brown flecked with white.[2][3] The body wall of the disc and arms is composed of collagen fibres arranged in a three-dimensional web with calcareous plates in between. This arrangement provides a protective surface with flexibility when the sea star moves around and rigidity when required.[4]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Echinaster spinulosus is found in the western Atlantic from Cape Hatteras and the Gulf Coast southwards to Venezuela, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.[1] Its typical habitats include sandy bottoms, seagrass meadows (Zostera spp.), oyster beds, stony flats and pilings.[4] It is a common species and is found at depths between 10 and 20 metres (33 and 66 ft).[3]
Echinaster spinulosus is a predator and scavenger and feeds on such sessile invertebrates as sponges and tunicates.[4]

Polymer Bulletin - Rubber Mixing
- August 2016
- Smithers Information Ltd
This Polymer Bulletin is a current awareness service from the Polymer Library, the worlds largest database dedicated to polymer literature. Each time the abstracts database is updated with new records (approx. every two weeks) you will be sent a bulletin alerting you to any items that relate to rubber mixing.
The art of mixing in the rubber industry has a long history. The origins of the modern mixers in use today can still be clearly traced back to the earliest practical internal mixers developed as long ago as 1916. Mills are also still used extensively for certain compounding applications, and these employ principles that date back still further. Nonetheless developments continue to be made. Increasingly demanding applications for rubber components necessitate improvements in quality, better dispersion, high uniformity and perfect reproducibility. There have been many advances in rotor designs, as well as in drive systems and temperature control, and whilst mixer performance is clearly the most important factor in controlling compound quality, ancillary equipment (supply and downstream) also has an important role to play.
A Current Awareness service from us may be just what you need to update your knowledge with ease and accuracy without having to waste time, effort and money finding the information yourself.
E-mail delivery every two weeks.

Disciplinary History and the Situation of History Teachers

AbstractA growing consensus in the history education community supports the idea that the discipline of history provides the best opportunity for moving beyond a "nation-building" or "skills-based" approach to teaching about the past. The social and temporal characteristics of the discipline of history mean such conclusions have important implications for teachers of history who must engage with that academic discipline when designing lessons for their pupils. In order to understand the process by which such a curriculum approach might be effected, it is necessary to posit a relationship between history teachers and the discipline of history that rests upon a theoretical model in which history teachers are understood both to represent and embody the discipline of history when teaching their pupils.

After their two runs the team of Jackson, Bruce Tasker, Craig Pickering and Joel Fearon finished in a combined time of 1:51.59 seconds, 1.5seconds behind Germany's Maximilian Arndt who finished first.
Deen, who was accompanied by David Coleman, Ben Simons and Andrew Matthews, finished a further 0.46 back.
GB need both teams to finish in the top 14 in order to qualify for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics and currently Jackson lies in tenth place with 674 points.
Deen however is back in 20th position and is a full 126 points behind the team currently ranked in 14, the Latvian crew led by Oskars Melbardis.

Will your LO stay behind in school?
I don't think you have a choice at least for public schools. It's a cut-off, it's not based on anything else but b-day.
He'll go to a preschool program I'm sure, but honestly, I don't mind keeping him home a little longer :)
I don't see it as being "behind" or in the wrong "mental environment" at all. There will be some kids in class younger than them, and some older-- the September and October birthdays, as well as those May, June, July and August birthdays that may have been held back for whatever reason. My daughter is in a MDO class for kids that turned one before Sept 1. She turned two November 11, but she's still in the middle of the pack age-wise. She fits in just fine, and all the kids play together well.
I will likely not go the public school route unless we move to a much better area, but my daughter will be starting kindergarten at a small private school in the fall that she is 5-- just before her 6th birthday. I teach her at home as she is ready and shows interest, and I don't intend to rely on a school (public, private, or whatever) to provide all of her education. I trust that she will be in an appropriate SOCIAL environment at school (and will choose her school, not her grade level, to provide that environment). Kindergarten is about learning to be in school, not learning subjects. Simply because we are all literate people, most of our kids will go into Kindergarten knowing most of the material or at least having the background to pick it up painlessly. Other kids in the class may not come in knowing those academic things, but our kids will have just as much to learn about the joys of sitting in a desk, getting graded/judged, working on somebody else's schedule, walking in line, raising hands, taking tests, dealing with bullies, helping others, and all those things we *thought* we taught them at home but suddenly become so much more difficult in a class with 20 kids and only one adult. Some states may allow kids to skip K and go straight to first grade... but would you really want your kid to skip the social aspect of Kindergarten just because you think they're smarter than everyone else's kids?
And trust me... no matter how bright your kid is, there will be others in the class (even much younger ones) brighter than her, just like there will be kids not as bright.

I know my day care has a kindergarten year that they'll place him in if he's ready. I know my school district won't transfer to 1st grade if they think he's ready...only if he's old enough.
I know some people who have put their kids in private school to keep them ahead. But I'm not sure that's always fair for the kid's social development. I think we all just need to wait and see where are kids are academically and then decide from there.
We know what the fox says....
I've actually thought about this a lot. Our local district's cut off is sept 1, so dd actually misses it by a couple months. However, she just seems so smart to me, and ahead. . . She was in the 2.5-3 yo room tonight when i picked her up at daycare, and she was as happy as can be, fittng right in. She is also fairly tall, too, so I don't want her to look out of place. Also, one less year of paying for daycare would be nice, like pp mentioned! I'm trying to not worry about it too much now bc of course I want to see what is going to happen with dd, both socially and academically. But if she seems ready earlier, I may go with a private school to give her a year's jump.

We are already in the public school system with the older kids and will be waiting until she is allowed in. If we stay where we are, kindergarten is only a partial day and I will be dealing with a short school day and finding childcare until 2018 if I did the math right. So I'll just sit back and enjoy it. I'm not looking forward to choosing a care or preschool setting again, it's very hard.
I do have a friend whose daughter was just amazingly brilliant and ahead in everything, extremely observant and astute. She went the private school and early entry route. By second grade the emotional quotient was just too lacking, she couldn't handle the girl dynamics. So she repeated second grade.
I have another friend running into the same thing with her daughter and she is glad she held her to the birthdate suggestion instead of skipping her ahead. There is SO much more to school nowadays beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.
My oldest also has a November birthday and I'm happy he started when he did, no regrets.

Health Information > Medications > Tobacco Cessation Medications > Nicotine Gum
Nicotine gum (Nicorette) is a nicotine replacement medicine. The nicotine gum is available over-the-counter. It has also been found to double chances of quitting successfully! It gives your body nicotine through the skin lining of the cheek and gums in your mouth. One nice thing about the gum is that it keeps your mouth busy. It can be a very helpful substitute not only for those who are trying to quit cigarettes but also for those trying to quit spit tobacco.
Many users start with the 2-mg gum. Smokers who use 20 or more cigarettes per day may start with the 4-mg gum. Nicotine gum may be used by chewing one piece of gum every one to two hours at first, or it may be used by chewing one piece of gum whenever you have the urge to smoke.
The gum should be chewed slowly until you can feel a slight tingling in your mouth. Then stop chewing and place (or park) the chewing gum between your cheek and gum. When the tingling is almost gone (about one minute), start chewing again; repeat this procedure for about 30 minutes.
Follow the nicotine gum directions closely. Do not chew nicotine gum too fast or chew more than one piece of gum at a time or you may get too much nicotine. Do not chew one piece too soon after another. Instead, space them out over the course of your day. Try not to chew more than 24 pieces of the gum per day unless your doctor gives you permission. Do not eat or drink for 15 minutes before chewing the gum, or while using it (some beverages can reduce its effectiveness).
Begin to reduce the amount of gum you are using by months two and three. Slowly reducing your use over time will prevent uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Using the nicotine gum for longer than three or four months is not recommended. Do not use nicotine gum longer than six months without talking with your doctor.
Here are some tips to slowly reduce your gum use over time:
Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while using nicotine gum, stop using it and call your doctor immediately. Nicotine and nicotine gum may cause harm to the fetus or baby.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are:
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is optimal to begin using the NRT products on the day you stop using tobacco. However, it is not essential to stop using tobacco products when you begin NRT products, if you are not able to stop using tobacco at that time. If you are using an OTC NRT while trying to quit smoking but slip up and have a cigarette, you should not stop using the NRT. You should keep using the OTC NRT and keep trying to quit. Call your doctor if you get too much nicotine (an overdose). Signs of an overdose may include dizziness, upset stomach, bad headaches, vomiting, cold sweats, confusion, blurred vision, hearing problems, weakness or fainting.
Nicotine gum may cause side effects.
Stop use and ask a doctor if any of the following develop:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Nicotine gum is considered safe and effective to help people quit smoking. Using the gum as directed can prevent side effects or nicotine overdose symptoms.

Greetings! I am Douglas Blacktyde, leader of Iron Fleet. We have a Greyjoy alignment, but we accept players from all houses. This is because we encourage you to reincarnate until you have all the fealty houses unlocked, and beyond.
If you join Iron Fleet you can expect to make new friends, form pacts, receive invitations to join quests, receive help in your own quests, and join our alliance challenges. If you want to be a top player, we'll help you get there. If you want to play for fun, that's fine too. We are small enough to value every member as an individual, and we are quite sociable. Essentially, we play like a group of friends.
Around half our members are highly ranked and fast-rising. If you are keen and competitive, but also positive and friendly, then you can expect to become a key member of our alliance. Our other members take a more casual approach to the game. All are very welcome. As long as you are reasonably active, there is a place for you in Iron Fleet. You are free to play the game as you wish.
Come and join us, have fun with us, and let's see how far we can rise together!
For an invitation to join, add me as a friend, then write to me in-game.
After you join us, say hello in the rookery, and we'll go from there.

They merged together in 1980 to become Leeds Trinity and All Saints. In 2012 the institution was granted full university status and became Leeds Trinity University. The University continues to grow, and now has over 3,000 students.

Most Romantic Summer Destinations
Oceanside Oasis: Bar Harbor, ME
Down east Maine is dotted with private islands—Oar, Clapboard, Chanterelle—where couples can play Yankee castaways. One of our favorites is the four-acre Spectacle Island, a short boat ride from Bar Harbor. Book Spectacle Island Estate, a three-bedroom cottage on this spruce-covered spot in Frenchman Bay. The wraparound porch makes for good afternoon bird-watching, when gulls and osprey swoop along the shoreline. Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island offers rugged hiking trails (or walk along the beach and watch the lobster boats). The island rental also includes a seaworthy 36-foot boat manned by a licensed captain. Catch the boat back to Bar Harbor and have a jumbo baked lobster at La Bella Vita, in the Harborside Hotel.
