Again with the 14-year-old girls
So a bunch of the regulars on Reddit's Men's Rights subreddit have their collective knickers in a twist about dudes getting called "pedophiles" just for saying they think 14-year old girls are hot. Because that's "ephebephilia," dontchaknow, not pedophilia! And besides, thingsarebad argues
Normal heterosexual males will generally have sexual attraction for pubescent females of child-bearing age, from puberty till they start to get old and gross (late 20s, early 30s usually haha).
That's pretty much "eww." But so is the rest of the discussion, really, from this "joke" about all women being as immature as children to this heavily upvoted claim that feminists have created a "pedo-scare … to criminalize healthy and normal male sexuality," to this Evo-Psych-flavored argument for lowering the age of consent.
Is it just me or are dudes who get indignant when people don't carefully distinguish between ephebephilia and pedophilia just really really creepy?
Is "the right to lust after underage girls without having to feel icky about it" really a Men's Rights issue? Why this preoccupation with 14-year-old girls, on r/mensrights and Reddit generally?

TAB, I don't give a damn what you or anyone else looks like. I care about the quality of their arguments. In the original post, you said that pubescent girls are attractive to "normal heterosexual men", and the other posters chimed in saying it's natural for adult men to have relationships with 13 and 14 year old girls, because they're able to physically bear children. The argument is ridiculous. Girls start menstruation as young as 8 years old. Just because a girl is physically mature enough to carry a pregnancy to term does not mean she is emotionally and mentally ready for sex, especially with a much older man.
Men that pursue young girls like that are predators, or vice versa when the genders are flipped. Predators pursue young teens, because they tend to be naive and easy to manipulate. It's good for governments to put predators in jail, so it can deter other adults from becoming predators.
TAB, the picture of you shows a self identifed wannabe child rapist. That, and that alone, makes it creepy. David has never posted screeds about how it is natural and right to want to rape children.
I can tell nothing from a picture. I can tell much more from your actual words.
Looks completely verify your arguments. Every intellectual knows that.😉
I never knew this trick of arguing before, TAB. Now I can just link to (warning, NSFW) this every time I want to win an argument! That will make arguing much easier.
Am I the only person who looks at TAB's name and thinks "temporarily able-bodied"?
I think of pink cans of diet cola.
Seriously, two threads? Two threads of Things Are Bad posting his picture and expecting everyone to… I don't even know what. Tell you that you're pretty? Reconsider our ideas about feminism and whole-sale rejection of thoroughly debunked, evo-psych bullshit because you're squinting? And wearing what appear to be knock-off Ray Bans?
What am I missing?
TAB A is hoping to find SLOT B?
1) Nope, I keep thinking "temporarily able-bodied" too.
"That's pretty much "eww."" Perfect phrase, nothing more to say.
Heavily upvoted? That comment has 9 karma. Are you new to the internet? Do you need help?
i personally agree that there should be a distinction between pedophilia and ephebophilia, and not because i am trying to bag some 14 year olds, but because i don't think half of the population's sexuality should be stigmatized. I have never had sex with someone below the age of consent, and I don't plan on doing it, but I also don't want society to think of me, and every other normal man, as EVIL, just for having the capacity to find teenagers good looking. Is that so crazy and hard to understand?
I think it's safe to say that less than 200 years ago this was a pretty normal thing. In fact, in many parts of the world, if not most, it still is. That doesn't make it right at all.
Used to be that fathers sold their daughters off for brood mares at puberty to escape the cost of a mouth to feed. They usually sold the girls to older (old) men. The norm of society was essentially what's illegal today. WHY?
Because it was HARM!!!
It is perfectly biologically natural for an adult male to see a decently developed girl from afar and mistake her for an of-age woman, and to acknowledge consciously an attraction. It is an entirely different matter to entertain the ethical (moral) nature of this attraction beyond that point once the male is up close enough to recognize the true age of the girl in question.
I will not deny the natural attraction that all men have when mistaken. This is known as "good from far, far from good."
I will say that this from-far attraction should end as the distance closes. At that point it is just as NATURAL to feel a quick sickness in the pit of the stomach and to feel shame for having so easily mistaked a younger female for an adult female.
Life is full of mistakes and "false peeps". The trick of the SANE male is to recognize some abnormal -philia, and differentiate it from what these perverts claim proudly to be a normal sexual preference.
They are sick bastards to say it's not stomach turning and shameful when such a mistake is made from afar by a normal adult male.
But they aren't normal adult males, are they?
@jimmythegreeksghost Uhm no. It is by no means a normal biological reaction to feel sick in the stomach upon seeing young girls up close. That's just you guilt tripping yourself.
Morals or ethics are not a biological construct, they are a societal construct. Our lizard brain does not care about emotional development or date of birth. It looks for visible sexual characteristics and upon finding them, will signal sexual attraction. That's all there is to it.
Evolution wise, emotional development only came into the picture rather recently. For the past million or so years it did not matter. Animals don't have to have "the talk" with their parents first before starting to copulate. They just do. Our sexual instincts still hail from that time.
Now obviously, having a big n bulky brain and everything, we can choose not to act on those attractions. And I'd certainly agree that we shouldn't. It doesn't quite deserve the hysteria people make about it, but it's certainly problematic.
But that doesn't mean you have to feel bad about having those attractions. They are indeed normal. And that's not just me saying this; according to the American Psychiatric Association, Ephebophilia is neither registered as a mental disorder nor as a paraphila. And that describes the *preference* for teens, the mere presence of attraction doesn't even warrant it's own name. It's not even considered to be odd.
i fuck goats and chickens. is this the right forum?
Why do you frame your questions with an accusatory premise? It makes us men feel like we need to defend what comes natural, thus placing us in 'the guilty seat' even before we reveal our perspective. Is it a men's rights issue to have natural (&110%average) feelings about ANY damn thing without being made fun of? You're goddamned right it is- and think about it the next time you hear someone say the word 'fag'. Calling us 'creepy' isn't kind, and most guys know that girls throw that word at us as a sort of 'shit test' to see if we're confident of ourselves. It makes you sound jealous of younger girls. Not sayin you are.. It just sounds that way. Maybe if people weren't so judgmental society could come to socially accept what's natural, and if you think it's unnatural weird gross or sick, that just makes you sound like a conservative in San Fransisco circa 1965. Think about it.. (www.areallmenpedophiles.com) watch the trailer
Think about it.. (www.areallmenpedophiles.com) watch the trailer
No. I was a fourteen year old girl at one point so I feel pretty secure in calling you a creepy asshole.
@David: "Natural" is not an argument. It's natural for humans to want to urinate at inappropriate times, but most of us civilized people learn to, you know, hold it in until we are in the vicinity of a bathroom. You use the word "natural" as shorthand to mean "I should be able to do whatever I want to do, because I want to do it, and I shouldn't have to think about the welfare, feelings, or even the basic humanity of mere broads who, after all, only exist on this Earth to fulfill my desires and for no other purpose." That is really the gist of your argument, and the commonly heard trope that it's "natural for men to take whatever they want and for women to be taken whenever they are wanted". It's disgusting, insulting and bigoted. To call you a creep is charitable.
It's too early for this shit.
This will never not be true. It's been hours and it still too early.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 32 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 32
- The farm in question is a small "one-horse cotton plantation." Huck decides to "trust in Providence" and just march right up to the door (32.1).
- Good call; when he gets to the door, the lady of the house is all, "It's you!" and he's all, "Um, sure!"
- Huck tells her (Aunt Sally) that the boat he came on ran aground and that's why he's a little late. Also, he hid his baggage, which is why he doesn't have any on him.
- When Silas comes home, we find out that Aunt Sally thinks Huck is her nephew, none other than Tom Sawyer.
- Small world, right?
- Huck, pleased as punch, plays right along. Since he knows all of Tom's family, it's easy to play the part and gab on about the relatives back home.
- But Huck learned his lesson with the Wilks brothers. He knows that, when you're pretending to be someone, you have to worry about the real version turning up.
- So he hurries off (under pretense of getting his baggage) to try and intercept the real Tom Sawyer.

First of all, I want to publicly thank the developers of this amazing plugin. It's just awesome for us developers.
That been said,
I have figured out a way to insert shortcodes in the List content section, so you can enhance even more the power of this plugin.
Hope this is helpful for you guys.
1.- Do the known to get [php_function name="function_name" param=""] enabled in the APL. Please refer to (kalinbooks site).
2.- Create a function in wp-config.php immediatly after defining the constant "KALINS_ALLOW_PHP" similar to the following:
define("KALINS_ALLOW_PHP", true);
function sh_code($post, $shcd){
$shcd=str_replace('#','"',$shcd); //needed to parse " marks
$output="[error: do_shortcode function doesn't exist!]";
return $output;
3.- Use the [php_function name="function_name" param=""] code like this -in the List content section-:
[php_function name="sh_code" param="gallery id=#[ID]# size=#medium# columns=#3#"]
NOTE: Pay special attention to the use of «[ID]» and «#» in the example .. «[ID]» is an APL code that is parsed before the param is.
Well, that's it. I have successfully proven this so, This WORKS!
Enjoy it!
Again, thanks to the authors of this amazing plugin.

Uploads timing out – all server limits should be fine

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Virgin Australia has announced pricing for its new Brisbane/Gladstone and Brisbane/Port Macquarie flights, commencing mid-October.
Currently the only airlines operating the Brisbane/Gladstone route are Qantas, which charges $376 for the one hour flight, and Strategic Airlines, which charges between $90 and $166.58.
There are currently no direct flights between Brisbane and Port Macquarie.
Virgin Australia says the new schedule will provide:
- Double daily week-day return Brisbane to Gladstone from $89 one way;
- Daily return Brisbane to Port Macquarie, from $99 one way;
It will also increase the number of Sydney/Canberra services, with current pricing unchanged.
- Double daily Sydney to Port Macquarie; and
- Up to six daily return services between Sydney to Canberra (up to 60 a week, Virgin says)
The news will be particularly welcome for businesspeople in Port Macquarie and Gladstone wanting to catch international flights out of Brisbane.
It also means that travellers from Port Macquarie will be able to fly directly to Queensland without having to first fly to Sydney.
The new French-made ATR 72-500 aircraft to be used on the routes will replace Virgin's relatively young fleet of Embraer E170 jets, which haven't worked out for the airline due to uneconomical fuel consumption for the routes they're flying.
The ATR 72-500 is a twin-propeller plane that can seat 68 people in what Virgin promises are "spacious and stylish" surrounds (but presumably can't provide quite the smooth ride that a jet can).
You can see a picture of what the plane looks like here.
Under the alliance, Skywest will operate and maintain the aircraft on behalf of Virgin Australia using Virgin Australia's branding and inflight products and services.
The first two ATR aircraft are named after the Far North Queensland beaches - Mission Beach and Four-Mile Beach.

Sometimes relationships can fall apart and no one knows why, other times specific things lead to the demise of a relationship. When the dust settles and time gives you a new perspective, it might become clear that what you really want is your ex back. Time is the great equalizer that gives you a chance to walk away from the feelings of frustration and hurt and instead build up a real understanding of what went on. Ex Back Experts is the place to go when you are trying to figure out how to win your ex back. Your newfound clarity might not be matched on the other side and you need to know what steps to take in order to make it a successful endeavor. The more clearly you approach the subject the better your chances of success.
Start Clean
The first thing you have to know about getting back your ex is that it isn't about fixing the past but rather moving on from here. You cannot totally fix any of the bad blood that has happened. Likely that is why your relationship came to an impassable end. The Ex Back Experts helps you set the reset button. It gives you specific steps to let go of the past and really get a clean, fresh start. This allows you to know all the wonderful things about each other without having to dissect the problems of the past.
Avoid the 7 Deadly Mistakes
The Ex Back Experts clearly let you know how to get your ex back and list the seven deadly mistakes. There are things that you can do making it impossible to ever change the person's mind and get them back to a loving place with you. Often these are exactly the types of "advice" moments you would get from your friends such as pushing the jealousy button. You have to be more removed and practical than that. You have to know what you really want and what he really wants in order to make it work. Games are not the answer and the Ex Back Experts help you move past the games to the reality of love.
3 Steps to Switching the Switch in His/Her Brain
There are three things you need to do in order to make things work again. The Ex Back Experts walk you through all three steps but some of them are so mind blowingly simple, you will wonder why you never thought of them before. Everyone remembers the episode of "Friends" where it is all about whether or not they were on a break. When it comes right down to it, this is one of the steps. Taking responsibility for the fact there is some reason that he or she became less attracted to you. This is not the reason they said and the Ex Back Experts can help you get to the root of the problem.

Not quite as much as you have.
A while ago I read in the paper that Mrs Jamie Oliver was PG and was due in April the same day as me, although by that time I had m/c my twins.
I was watching breakfast news a couple of weeks ago and Jamie O was on the tv and chatting away to the presenter whom is PG and just happened to say 'oh, your due same time as my mrs' well that did if for me. I cant watch bbc1 in the mornings now cause when I look at the presenter I kinda see me and how big my bump would be.
The last night whilst watching eastenders peggy is having her wedding on the 2nd April and I lookd at the OH and said we would have been celebrating too on that day. I know tv is fictional but thats how I felt.

The Middle Lane has two posts in one today.
First, words of wisdom from Dr. Sally Porter Ross, one of the Lane's favorite psychologists:
In at least half of the sessions I've conducted last week, faulty or poor or non-existent communication was a major problem. Communication is the lifeblood of relationships. It is what enables us to connect, to establish intimacy and to sustain bonds among us. Think of the people with whom you are most intimate, then make certain that you are being open and honest with them, that you are making a real effort to correctly understand what they are sharing with you and that you consistently check with them to make sure that your communications are being correctly received.
Keep the lifeblood flowing, Sally says. Talk to one another!
Post No. 2 has to do with communication in general, and apologies and good and bad ways to say, 'sorry' in particular. Elizabeth Bernstein tackled this topic in the Wall Street Journal Tuesday, and here's how she broke down apologies.
1. The heartfelt apology: I am so sorry. I understand that I hurt you. It won't happen again.
2. The strategic apology: I'm sorry. Let's move on.
3. The defensive apology: I'm sorry but….
4. The contingent apology: I'm sorry if I've done something wrong.
5. The too-late apology: I realize now that what I did was wrong.
Sound familiar?
Then Bernstein told the story of a husband who has devised yet another form of apology. After acting like a real jerk, he would ask his wife, "Is there anyone who would like a new pair of shoes?
"Nothing says 'I'm sorry' like Christian Dior," he told Bernstein.
Fellow drivers in the Middle Lane, what do you think of what we'll call the Christian Dior apology?
I asked Mason. First he gave the catch-all husband answer: "I don't know."
Then he said it sounded like bribery to him.
I think so, too.

Stating he is a consultant to the University of Chicago and wanted to arrange a meeting with me and the University of Chicago on Wednesday, June 10 in the early afternoon to learn more about the criteria and process for a proposal they are planning on submitting to the Recovery Act NIST Construction Grant Program. The University of Chicago group was believed to include the Vice President for Research and/or the Provost. Their project was stated as a rather ambitious one that involves a number of research disciplines as well as both new construction and the renovation of existing space. Requested meeting with me to help ensure the University of Chicago submits the most appropriate proposal to NIST.
Response was- We do not meet in person with potential proposers but are available by telephone or email to answer evaluation criteria or programmatic questions from University of Chicago personnel.

Who Is Alan Scott, DC's Newly Gay Character?
This week, Alan Scott, the Green Lantern of Earth 2, is getting a lot of attention because he's a former heterosexual character that is being rebooted as gay.
Among the mainstream press, the announcement might sound a lot like "Green Lantern is gay." But comic book readers know that statement isn't quite accurate. There's more than one Green Lantern. And Alan Scott has never really been among the ranks of most of them.
So who is Alan Scott? And what makes him different from other Green Lanterns? We put together a "primer" on the character, who he was before his reboot, and who he's going to be in the new comic, Earth 2.
Who He Was: In the pre-New 52 DC Universe, Alan Scott was the first Green Lantern, introduced in 1940 during the so-called "Golden Age" of comics.
Alan helped to form the first comic book super team, called the Justice Society of America.
Eventually, the superheroes of the Golden Age lost their popularity among readers. But later, during a comic revival known as the Silver Age, Hal Jordan was introduced as earth's Green Lantern. His origin was space-based instead of being mystical, and Hal Jordan became part of a whole Corps of aliens who were Green Lanterns and wore technology-based rings.
Although Alan Scott's origin was tweaked a bit over the years, including a concept known as the "Starheart," the basic idea behind his power was that his Green Lantern ring was always different from the other science-based Green Lanterns who fly around in space.
Who He Is Now: Alan Scott is back on Earth 2, as an alternate version of Green Lantern. In that alternate world, he is the only Green Lantern, and he doesn't wear a ring.
In May, DC published the comic Earth 2, which revived the concept of an alternate earth where things go very differently. In issue #1 of Earth 2, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were all killed on the alternate earth.
Alan Scott was also introduced in issue #1, as a young, good-looking owner and CEO of a major corporation called GBC. He was on his way to China, and he was particularly inspired by the death five years ago of superheroes on Earth, even narrating a documentary about it.
"[Alan Scott] is a titan of industry and communications," the comic's writer, James Robinson, told Newsarama. "He started off as an engineer, admittedly, in his origin, but very quickly, they made him radio broadcaster, and he was chairman of the radio station, and then he owned the station. And then with television, he got involved in television. So I'm just updating the forms of news and communication in which he's a mogul."
As for his character, Robinson said Alan Scott is "a noble, gallant man who will rise to the challenges presented to him."
"As is implied by the cover, which features Jay Garrick, the meat of issue #2 is Jay's origin and him becoming the Flash," Robinson said. "But we will see more of Alan Scott and then set up the events that lead to him becoming a Green Lantern in issue #3. That's how it's going to play out."
Whatever adventure he finds in China apparently leads to his adoption of the Green Lantern mantle, which Robinson said will happen in Earth 2 #3.
"He has no ring, but the green flame, which is the energy of the earth," Robinson told Newsarama this week. "He is the receptacle and the conduit for that energy. He is literally a living Green Lantern. He's the Green Lantern."

A petite person like me could hardly find the right size on the rack that would greatly fit me, so I opted to customized all that I wear. Luckily, I got a satisfied friend that recommended "Make Your Own Jeans" and I followed it. Now, I feel so confident about myself, the way I dressed up and project myself to the people around me. It was a great choice for me!

LeAnn Postpones Show Because of "Massive Infection"
She deals with dental problems and then rallies to play a fundraiser the next night in L.A.
It's been a rough year for LeAnn Rimes, who went to rehab for exhaustion and now is finding her tour to be a real pain in the tooth.
LeAnn postponed a show Friday night (Oct. 5) in West Wendover, Nev., because of a dental emergency that caused a "massive infection," she says.
"I feel like I got hit in my right side of my face with a baseball bat :( NOT a good feeling when I am getting on a plane," LeAnn tweeted.
"WORST way ever to kick off a tour.....under anesthesia and a massive infection. Well, onward and upward. It can only get better from here!!! On another note, Happy Saturday."
Later, on Sunday (Oct. 7), LeAnn blogged that she has "been living in a dental nightmare for 10 months."
"I'm getting back on track though, I hope. I've had too many detours this year due to dental issues. I'm finally in great hands and being well taken care of," she wrote.
As if to prove her point, LeAnn did perform Saturday night (Oct. 6) in L.A. for a fundraiser—and pics showed she looked great.
"Thank you all for your support and understanding," she wrote.
"The last 10 months of pain are hard for me to wrap my head around. I'm sure it's difficult for you all to understand too. Let's just pray I'm on the mend. I'll see you all on the road very soon."

WITH TURKISH Cypriots being asked to choose between a re-unifier and a separatist, the outcome of the 'presidential' election this April will give a stark indication of whether the north retains the desire for reunification last expressed in 2004, or whether they now believe it is time to give up.
While neither the dovish Mehmet Ali Talat nor veteran nationalist Dervish Eroglu have officially declared their intentions to fight for the leadership, and thereby the role of chief negotiator for the Turkish Cypriot community at UN-sponsored reunification talks, officials close to both politicians told the Sunday Mail yesterday the two would "certainly" be in the running for an election that will mark either a more serious continuation of negotiations or their sudden death.
"In 2004, the [Turkish Cypriot] people had hope and a vision of a solution. They came out onto the streets and into the squares to demand that solution. But nothing came of it," a high-ranking official from Eroglu's National Unity Party (UBP) told the Mail yesterday.
"So now there is disenchantment and the only alternative for Turkish Cypriots is to embrace the TRNC," the official, who chose to remain nameless, said, adding that while the current status quo might not be perfect, it was "much better than nothing, and much better than what [President Demetris] Christofias is offering".
While one can argue that Turkish Cypriot disenchantment is understandable, it is hard to see how such an approach will win favour with either the Greek Cypriot leadership or with those in Brussels.
It might not even go down very well in the Turkish capital where these days one hears more about the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) policy of "zero conflict" with its neighbours than of "the national cause".
No one inside or outside the UBP is claiming that Eroglu has won Ankara's support for the upcoming election.
"Turkey will not show a preference, or even an inference of a preference," the UBP official insisted yesterday. "It never has, and it never will, intervene in Turkish Cypriot politics."
While agreeing that Ankara would never come out in public support for one or other of the leaders, a source close to Talat did however highlight that the current Turkish Cypriot leader's approach to negotiations ran "parallel" to Ankara's position on Cyprus, and even went as far as saying Turkey "does not want to lose Talat".
But does that mean Ankara might seek to block Eroglu's 'presidential' aspirations in the north? The answer is probably not, because while it would rather see Talat continue talking to Christofias, being seen to meddle directly in the internal politics would draw greater criticism from the international community than an Eroglu victory. And besides, such an outcome could even work out well for Ankara, for it could then say it was the Turkish Cypriots, and not Ankara, who now blocked concessions put forward by Turkey.
That said, Eroglu and his party insist negotiations will continue, even if the opinion polls that put him ahead in the race turn out to be true.
"He [Eroglu] will not leave the table," the UBP official insisted yesterday and added: "If Christofias changes his mind and offers something the Turkish Cypriots can accept, they will change their minds again".
In other words, Eroglu does not plan to call an end to negotiations if he wins. Rather, he will simply ask for more.

Dog Bows
With every passing day, the emotional bonding with your little pup grows deeper; he becomes like your family member and grows up with your love and care. You make all efforts to make his lifestyle comfortable as well as stylish. You make all possible endeavors to keep his wardrobe fashionable and perfect to suit all occasions. You even get a cozy bed and a warm little dog house so that he can have a clean and comfortable place to sleep. You take care of every little thing, right from his clothing to shoes, collars, leashes and dog bows and even the dog houses, beds and other accessories to give your best to your beloved pooch.
Dressing up your pup is important; however, right from the time he is a miniature pup you have to start his training so that he develops good and healthy habits. He must be perfect in showing certain gestures like to turn around comfortably, shake your hands, roll over, sit, stand, lay and move on your instructions. These special gestures are a way to show respect and obedience to their masters. It is also important that when your dog depicts a cordial behavior, you should reward him. You can pat his back, buy him a dog basket or you can simply get a new designer dress and matching dog bows to enhance his persona. A well trained dog is loved and caressed by all. And rewarding also portrays your love and care for him. Dog bows can be considered as a very formal wear and can be best suited for special parties and occasions like Halloween, Christmas or even 4th of July as well as private parties organized by your friends or family.
You buy many toys which he can chew and enjoy. This also boosts your dogs energy. So when you are a pet owner, you take all possible care to spruce him up the way you do to your child. Obviously you dress him up just perfect for any occasion. Normally designer jackets, t-shirts are your preference, but matching collars and dog bows give him an extra-ordinary formal look and beautify and gratify their personality. Dog bows just make them look like a perfect gentleman or woman. For huge hounds the dog bows could be tied like a neck tie, while for the little poodles and small cute doggies it could be used as hair bows and barrettes, which make them look just perfect for the event.
In this modern and trendy society, we dress up in high quality and fashionable attire but it is equally important to dress up our pets as well in a smart and chic manner. It is not at all difficult to enhance your dogs wardrobe with fancy and designer wears, formal and casual, as well as attractive accessories like dog bows, collars and jewelry. Its just a click away.

Citation: Li, R.W., Wu, S., Li, W., Hill, D.C., Urban Jr, J.F. 2012. Sequences from the hypervariable V3-V5 regions of the 16S rRNA gene amplified from the porcine proximal colon . National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). SRX065852. Technical Abstract: Helminths, including GI nematodes, colonize > 1/3 of the world's population and have evolved with humans and their microbiome. Parasites inherently regulate the host immune response to ensure their survival through mechanisms that dampen host inflammation. These unique properties of nematodes have been exploited therapeutically to treat several human diseases, including Crohn's and multiple sclerosis, in multi-center clinical trials. In order to understand the complex relations between the host, its microbiota, and parasite, we characterized the colon microbiota in response to parasite infection using whole genome shortgun (WGS) and the 16S rRNA gene approaches. 32 to 55K sequences per sample from 16S rDNA hypervariable V3-V5 regions were generated. Compared to uninfected controls, a 21-day T. suis infection in pigs induced a significant change in the colon microbiota composition. The abundance of Protobacteria and Spirochaetes were significantly reduced in infected pigs. Notably, reduced Succinivibrio abundance implied that T. suis altered the metabolic potential of the carbohydrates in the colon microbial ecosystem. Conversely, Mucispirillum, a bacterium colonizing the GI mucus, was significantly increased in infected pigs but absent from the microbiota of uninfected pigs suggesting that mucosal disruption induced by invading parasites altered the local ecological niche. However, the biodiversity in the microbiota, judged by indexes such as ACE and Chao1, was seemingly unchanged by infection. To gain insight into the functional shift associated with these alterations, we generated ~ 3.8 million WGS reads. ORFs were annotated against Pfam and KEGG databases, and the metabolic pathways affected were identified. Parasite-induced alterations in the gut micriobiota may have important physiological and pathological consequences.

Annabel Lee
by Edgar Allan Poe
Annabel Lee Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (verse)
Quote #1
In a kingdom by the sea, (line 2)
The sea is everywhere in this poem. It comes up so many times that you might stop noticing it, but it's an important image, and it keeps this fantasy grounded in something you can understand. Like with everything else in this poem, Poe doesn't go out of his way to describe the sea. He doesn't call it "bright" or "stormy" or anything like that. We don't know anything about its color, but somehow we can feel it out there, a constant presence. The poem is about love and death and angels and all the rest, but it's anchored in the natural world.
Quote #2
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling (line 15)
That natural world can be scary too. Here we find out that the thing that killed Annabel was a wind from a cloud. Our speaker's theory is that it was sent by the angels, but it's the natural world that does the dirty work. Again, we're not talking about happy nature poetry here. Poe's world, natural or not, is always a little dark, scary, and ugly, and even slightly insane. When even the clouds are trying to kill you, you know you're in trouble.
Quote #3
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; (lines 34-35)
Could this be a comforting nature moment? Are things OK now, even for just a minute? Maybe, since Annabel is the one person he misses most, and the moon brings a reminder of her. At the same time, we don't know if these are happy dreams, and it seems like they might not be, since our poor speaker always seems so tormented. He doesn't want to be separated from her, but maybe he should be. He seems like a slave to the memory of a dead girl, and the moon seems to be helping to keep him that way.

Article courtesy of Asheville Citizen-Times. Click here for the original story
Brent Bookwalter, who lives in Asheville with his wife, is a pro cyclist on Team BMC. And that means he is teammates with Cadel Evans, 2011 Tour de France champ. Bookwalter was on that team, and helped Evans to the win. There are only two American teams in the Tour this year – BMC and Garmin Sharp – and only six American riders, and Brent is one of them. (How cool is that??)

18.104.22.168 Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF)
The Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) is calculated using the following equation:
ADWF (L/day) = EPdesign (people) x 225 (L/person/day) .Eq. 6.6.16
The 225 L / person / day is based on historical water consumption and wastewater flow measurement data across the city. Subsequent reviews of this rate of wastewater production have reaffirmed 225 L / person / day is the average rate of wastewater production per capita across North Shore City.

Protein Engineers Recognized for Advances in...
The Promise of a Big Payoff...
Phosphoinositides Are Important Because They Participate...
Scientists at Children's National Medical Center demonstrated that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein and its signaling activity are instrumental in myelination and remyelination. Underdeveloped white matter or white matter injuries are linked to conditions including mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis.
The researchers used enhanced EGFR to demonstrate the role that this molecule plays as a catalyst to the natural processes of proliferation and migration of progenitor cells, which are integral to white matter development and repair. Inserting enhanced EGFR protein into mouse models showed enhanced myelination/remyelination. Then, using an EGFR protein with reduced biological activity, the researchers found a decrease in myelination/remyelination.
The study also found that progenitor cells in the peri-ventricular zone of the brain contribute to remyelination of white matter lesions and that these lesions naturally prompt progenitor cells to replicate and migrate to the site of the lesion where they are involved in remyelination and functional repair.
The paper will be published in the August issue of Nature Neuroscience.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Getting Help from Other Caregivers
In this article
Assisted Living Facilities continued...
There are assisted living facilities that provide multi-tiered levels of care for senior residents according to their needs and as their needs change:
- Residents live self-sufficiently in an apartment or a town house within the assisted living community (Tier 1).
- Residents live in an apartment or a private room where services such as meals, housekeeping, and medication supervision are provided (Tier 2).
- Residents receive nursing home care with twenty-four-hour supervision (Tier 3). This arrangement avoids the stress and disruption involved in displacing seniors and/or their surviving spouses as their needs change.
Every nursing home is assigned a long-term care ombudsman employed by the state's Area Agency on Aging. It's the ombudsman's job to monitor the home for abuse or neglect and to mediate relations between staff, residents, and families. Contact the nursing home's ombudsman with your questions and concerns.
Especially when your mother first enters the facility, it's important to let her know you're there for her while at the same time stepping back and giving her a chance to bond with her new surroundings. Often, feelings of guilt cause us to be overprotective.
Make friends with other residents, and tell them all about your parent. Especially if Dad is modest about the fact that he was once the top Latin dancer in the country, he may attract new friends he wouldn't make on his own.
It takes about six weeks to get used to a roommate. Don't be surprised if you find Grandpa adjusting to a personality you never dreamed would mesh with his. Sometimes opposites get along best, since they have fewer territorial and power issues.
If possible, have a friend go with you to check out a place that you're seriously considering. A friend's caring but less personally attached perspective will come in handy.
Get to know someone in each department at the facility. Make friends with the guy in the kitchen, the lady who manages the laundry, the gardener, the hairdresser, and the housekeeping people. They're all members of your new family.
It usually takes residents six months to get used to living in a senior facility. Give it time. But if you're sure that everything points to the fact that this is the wrong place for Mom, get her out and find a more appropriate place.

Great way to hide bulk potting soil
By High Desert
from Oak Hills, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Had a lot of landscaping to do and instead of buying bags of grow mulch, I had the local nursery deliver a scoop at a considerable savings. Placed the camo tarp hidden away in the back yard. Shoveled the mulch on top and then covered with the remaining ends of the tarp. Now have years worth of mulch available when I need it. Camo makes the pile almost invisible. Earthworms growing great underneath.

p.s ive lost alot of weight with this and ive bought some calipers to measure my BF % at the moment im roughly 15% my stats
age 23
weight 170
height 5'11 to 6'0

What are your goals here? You're below Marine Corps standards for both body fat and height/weight. That is to say, you're in a healthy medium for body composition. Off the top of my head, squat jumps, burpees (preferred prison exercise for cardio), box jumps, sled drag, agility ladder.
Also, don't neglect your shoulder. If your physician didn't prescribe exercises for you, check out mobilitywod.com and also do a search for sports therapy exercises for your shoulder injury.
my goals are strictly fat loss and to see my abs by the new year, and what do you mean by below marine corps standards? is that a good thing? and its a healthy one too haha
and my shoulders get work by shadowboxing and the sprints :)
any more exercises you can suggest? ill be adding the squat jumps and burpees (without pushup)
It's just what I know off the top of my head. The DoD has body fat standards and every service has their own height/weight standards so they don't have to go through the process of measuring everyone for bodyfat, the Marine Corps is the strictest in that regard.
If you want to see your abs you'll need to get below 10% bodyfat. Which isn't necessarily healthy to sustain. Your weight has little to do with that.
Buy a 35lb Kettlebell and do swings, snatches, thrusters and turkish getups. Swings alone will get you in incredible shape. They did for me.
Military training taught me a lot, here's what I learned. If you want to lose weight, run. Don't run for a distance as much as for a time. I lost a lot of body fat by using a sustained run. I'd start with ten minutes for 5 days a week for the first week. 2nd week I'd up my run to 15 minutes 5 days a week, Week 3 NO RUNNING! The third week is a low impact week, this will greatly reduce the chance of foot, knee, and ankle injuries that occur from a rigorous running workout. Week 4, run 20-25 minutes whatever you can handle. Your weight-loss should see results relatively quickly. By the end of my boot camp, 8 weeks, I changed my body fat percentage from 15% to under 10% and I've used this trick every time I gain a little extra weight since then. Running is also great for your arms without straining the shoulder. Good luck on your weight goal.
Thanks Man :) ill give this a shot for my Warmup session. :)
Thanks people, any more exercises that you can suggest?
http://www.7weekstofitness.com/ has some great bodyweight programs. Several of the programs are free online (with registration) and each exercise listed has a link to a more detailed description. The 300 Situps program has 30 different exercises to challenge and develop your core and add incredible variety to your floor routine. Modify whatever you need to in order to accomodate your shoulder injury. I'd especially be careful with the Hanging Leg Raise (requires you to hang from a pull-up bar) or substitute something else into it altogether.
If you want a proper routine to gain muscle, thus allowing you to have abs without looking like a human skeleton, you need to lift weights. Doing 1 minute planks may be a good routine for your mental health (plus the meditation, a nice touch) but it won't accomplish much. Also, losing weight is about diet, not exercise. You need to eat less than your caloric needs for that. But again, having visible abs without decent muscle mass requires a very low bodyfat to the point of being unhealthy, and you may not even look good.
You would do well to run as if Satan himself were chasing you.
run almost every day, sprints, distance, intervals, hills, etc.
eat lean and run much, dont drink any damn soda or gatorades either water water water.

Hello Charlie
Letters from a Serial Killer

The 1991 abduction and murder of thirteen-year-old Heather Dawn Church baffled police for three agonizing years, and became one of the most infamous murders the quiet and scenic city of Colorado Springs had ever seen. It was legendary homicide detective Lou Smit who finally broke the case, sending Robert Charles Browne, a forty-three-year-old Louisiana drifter and career criminal, to prison for life.
But the savage saga of Robert Browne did not end there. In 2000, Smit, now retired, joined forces with Charlie Hess, an ex-FBI agent and former CIA operative, to reexamine the cold-case murder files of the local Sheriff's Department. With the addition of amateur forensics buff Scott Fischer, the Apple Dumpling Gang was born.
As their volunteer work continued, Smit, Hess, and Fischer came upon a taunting letter written by Browne, hinting that the death of Heather Church was only the tip of the iceberg. What other law enforcement officials had simply ignored, the Apple Dumpling Gang took on with single-minded determination. Charlie Hess began a correspondence with Browne in which, over the course of dozens of letters, the killer teasingly spun out the details of a horrific killing spree spread over thirty years and nine states. The tally, according to Browne: forty-nine deaths, making him one of the most prolific serial murderers in the annals of American crime.
Hess's unique insight into criminal psychology, honed over his years developing informants and working as a polygraph operator, made him uniquely suited to match wits with the cagey and canny killer. But Browne was every bit the retired cop's equal: quickwitted, mercurial, and charismatic, with a penchant for riddles and a lifetime full of grisly secrets.
A riveting account of the complex and chilling cat-and-mouse game Hess and Browne played over five years, Hello Charlie details Browne's bloody swath of murder -- by strangulation, poisoning, and dismemberment -- even as it explores the special bond forged between the cop and the killer, allowing Hess unprecedented access into the mind of a remorseless psychopath.
As compulsively readable as any crime novel, Hello Charlie picks up where The Silence of the Lambs left off, with the incredible true story of one man's search for justice with a murderer as his guide.

KINGSTON — A New Paltz man was arrested and charged with a tampering-with-evidence, a felony, and multiple misdemeanor drug- and traffic-related charges Monday.
Oscar Moss, 53, of Old Kingston Road, was stopped Monday morning for operating a car without insurance. He was issued a citation and released from the scene.
Subsequent investigation showed that Moss had presented deputies with false name and birth data, police said. When they found Moss walking down Broadway in Kingston, they arrested him.
Police say Moss was in possession of glass pipe containing a controlled substance, along with a small amount of marijuana. Moss attempted to crush the pipe, police say.
Moss was released and is scheduled to appear in Kingston and Town of Ulster courts later this month.

As the latest example of small and medium market TV stations migrating to digital news production, two Hubbard stations have both upgraded their news departments' production capabilities. The local affiliates WNYT-TV (NBC), in Albany, NY, and KAAL-TV (ABC), in Austin, MN, have installed Digital News Production (DNP) systems from Grass Valley. The new equipment supports both stations' analog and digital channels.
WNYT purchased a total of seven NewsEdit NLEs for use at the station in Albany. The station also bought three M-Series iVDR units, one for ingest activities and two more for automated playout (for four channels of live playout and to provide redundancy). A Grass Valley Ingest Station and redundant NewsQ Pro automated playback systems with 110 hours of NAS have also been installed.
In order to facilitate cuts-only editing at the reporters' and producers' desktop, WNYT-TV also purchased 15 NewsEdit editing and review-station licenses that will be loaded onto existing PCs throughout the newsroom. WNYT is using the Grass Valley equipment to produce about 27 hours of news programming per week.
Following a similar migration path to WNYT, KAAL-TV purchased three NewsEdit SC systems, a NewsQ Pro and NAS system, and two M-Series iVDRs.

It would be unprecedented but because of the dire straits we're in there's got to be some legal way Barack can take over now.
I love the way Michelle Obama looks and dresses but I love even more reading critical comments from SpeakOut callers who are obviously seething with envy and jealousy.
State governors and state legislators ought to adopt a secessionist attitude toward Washington D.C. when the new administration starts spitting out mandated policies demanding more taxation on their constituents. They were not elected by local constituents to be lackeys of an Obamamania federal bureaucracy. What has always made any 'state' a hell on earth has been precisely that men who think like Obama have tried through flawed vision to make it an earthly heaven.
For the last two years, we have heard "change, change, change." Now we know what change is. The Chicago Mafia moving into Washington. I predict that this will be the most partisan and corrupt administration in history. We are getting the same old Clintonites that were in Washington in the 1990s. Who took the credit for economic upturn which was really created by the Republicans taking over the House of Representatives and cut government spending? This was the group who rented out the White House sleeping rooms and pardoned drug dealers, Puerto Rican killers and a girlfriend's husband. How can the unions stand for anyone who pardoned Mark Rich? Did you notice Obama's first press conference? The stock market started down the moment he went up the steps and kept going down all the time he was talking. When he left, the market started back up. Maybe this is change. Part of his inner circle were responsible for the financial melt down.
Mike, I just want to say that I am proud of the voters of Missouri that rejected the Obama, Communist, Socialist ideas and his regime. Now we need to focus on the elections coming up in two years and we need to get rid of Claire McCaskill. She does not stand for Missouri values. She stands for Ted Kennedy, John Kennedy, Chuck Schumer and Obama values. Let's find a candidate now and get ready to put her out of office so she can't go along with Barack Obama and his plan to ruin America.
I'm just curious. How does a person get three hummingbirds to come into their home?
I also attended Charleston High School. Way back years ago when George Wallace was running, we wore a hat to campaign for him and the teachers made us take our hats off then too. I don't know if it's Charleston School's policy or all schools policies.

From housing to travel, MPs learn about perks of the job
Top-of-the-range tech equipment, state equipment and free flights form part of MPs' salary packages.
Top-of-the-range tech equipment, state equipment and free flights form part of MPs' salary packages.
Curbs on buying flashy cars and travelling first class are among measures expected in the long-delayed Ministerial Handbook.
Northern Cape Premier Sylvia Lucas's office has defended using her government credit card on reportedly buying fast food at outlets like KFC and Spur.
