Hitting Women: Is it a Man's Right?
The Man Boobz Pledge Drive continues. See here for more details, or click below to donate.
And now back to our regularly scheduled post:
Someone posted this picture in the Men's Rights subreddit yesterday with the title "Equality."
[Trigger Warning: Depiction of violence against women.]
Yep, that's right, equality is all about hitting women. (Click the image for a larger version.)
The punchy superhero in question, Booster Gold, is from the future, and "in the future he is from there is actual equality, or at least enough of it for the "you wouldn't hit a girl" thing to not be any kind of issue," as one Men's Rightser explained in the comments,
Yep, in MRA-land, men hitting women – sorry, girls — is considered "progress."
And a critical men's rights issue. Responding to a Redditor who thought the picture was "fantastic" but wondered if it should be in the Men's Rights subreddit, BlueOak offered this explanation:
Making it socially acceptable for men to hit women, evidently a key plank on the Men's Rights platform.
Wouldn't it make a little more sense to work towards a world in which, you know, neither men nor women were getting punched on a regular basis?

I have a male friend who has bought me (extremely expensive, by my terms) dinners before. He doesn't do this because he wants into my pants–he has explicitly stated not to be attracted to me, and I'm not attracted to him. He does it because he makes OODLES more money than I do, and his way of expressing affection is getting me nice food when we visit each other. I think he feels bad that I'm living in a crawl space, and getting me nice sushi that he knows I can't get on my own helps him feel better. (And god knows, I appreciate the occasional creme brulee as much as the next guy!)
As for the ones too shy to speak… that's THEIR thing, not mine. I mean, hell, I was here for the system members before me who were too shy to speak. They never felt it was their object of desire's obligation to read their mind. If they couldn't cough up their honest intentions… that was on them.
My suggestion? Socioeconomic status. Its what clothes are for.
Thats cool because you're both on the same page. But if you had a similar relationship with a different guy and he hinted at a desire for romance, how would you react?
As to the shy? Just because you're good at being upfront doesn't mean everyone else is. Yes mind-reading is unreasonable, but if you have your suspicions, I think you should mention them.
It's kind of funny how many of our trolls follow this same pattern of ignoring what everyone else is talking about and trying to steer the conversation back to whatever they happen to be obsessing over.
I can choose my reaction to others on this forum. I don't reciprocate the general hostility here towards me. I don't let others have that kind of control over me.
As to the scorn, meh. I choose to react to it with meh. Its a wasted emotion.
"We ate crowdaddies. When we didn't have any crawdaddies, we ate sand"
"You ate sand"
"We ate sand"
RE: Diogenes
But if you had a similar relationship with a different guy and he hinted at a desire for romance, how would you react?
That would depend. Do I RECOGNIZE these hints? My husband tried to put his hand down my pants, and I STILL didn't get that he was attracted to me. If he couldn't make his intentions clear that way, someone more subtle has no chance whatsoever.
If I DO recognize the hints, I would likely respond one of a few ways, depending on the person. My most knee-jerk would be intense discomfort and bolting, because I'm very open about being both monogamous and married, and someone who doesn't recognize or respect that would not inspire confidence.
And if they don't know me that well… then WHY are they in a position to be spending so much money on me? My rich friend had to have a sit-down talk with me to get me okay with him spending on me, and I've known him for over five years. The likelihood of being in the company of someone who knows me well enough that I allow them too buy me expensive sushi but doesn't know me well enough to know I'm MARRIED… well, that's highly unlikely.
"We ate crowdaddies. When we didn't have any crawdaddies, we ate sand"
"You ate sand"
"We ate sand"
…what is this reference? (Also, it's crawdads. CrawDADs. I got New Orleans kinfolk, I know these things.)
Thanks Cloudiah.
(I don't understand how anyone could say 'crayfish.' 'Crawdads' feels so much easier to say to me.)
This is going to sound weird, but that sounds incredibly cute. I think missing a signal like that seems…. endearing. Like, a mistake any of us (ok, me) could have made. Bolting on an unwanted advance? Endearing and honest.
RE: cloudiah
OH MY GOD THAT SONG! It was embedded in some deep forgotten recess of my brain, back before English had entirely gotten worked out, and listening to it had an insta-brain memory effect. Thanks for the memory! At least now I know that my childhood memory (of the song being completely gibberish) isn't true.
RE: Diogenes
Enh, it might seem endearing on the surface… but I hated myself a LOT. That was just one of the more obvious ways it manifested at the time, and that it failed to corrode my relationship with my husband speaks to his tenacity. Nowadays, I've gotten more astute, but being mostly asexual, it still takes me a little effort to remember that other people sometimes want to fuck other people.
I hope all these meals are going to be accompanied by wine made from the grapes of wrath.
Bolting on an unwanted advance? Endearing and honest.
What LBT said: " My most knee-jerk would be intense discomfort and bolting, because I'm very open about being both monogamous and married, and someone who doesn't recognize or respect that would not inspire confidence." (emphasis mine)
How on earth can you read someone feeling that way as being cute? Creepy, dude, creepy. It's like you think turning down advances or being uncomfortable/scared is some sort of appealing eccentricity – and there's a subtext of it being something to be ignored ("cute" does not suggest something that's going to be taken seriously).
I daresay you'll do your standard "Oh you don't know what I meant/you're reading too much into it" line to this, but PLEASE consider your words and what they implied.
Is that supervillain wearing spade nippleshields?
Christ, comics suck. I keep hoping Jesus will smite the SDCC. The word "creepy" would drop of of usage permanently.
Yeah I got the same vibe and thought the same thing in response Kitteh.
No Diogenes, its not endearing and its not cute. Its a big fucking flashing neon sign to back it up dude.
Yo, Dragon, what's the SDCC? If you mean San Diego Comic Con, I don't get what you mean.
Also, comics don't suck. It's all a matter of Sturgeon's law, compadre.
Fuck off. Plenty of non-creepy people attend SDCC and plenty of creepy people feel exactly as you do about it.
That was @Dragon Slayer (obviously, I hope)
Enh, I am actually willing to give Diogenes a tiny bit of slack on that one. Because I think he was reading it as me being endearingly socially awkward, when in fact I have Issues. It might seem cute at first, but when you have to live with them day in, day out, they become a lot less sweet.
It was clear, Some Gal!
Yeah, I got the impression of Diogenes or some other creep hitting on a person – possibly pawing them – and when they pull away in shock or fear, patting them on the head and making some godawful condescending or downright rapey comments. Totally predatory. My reaction to any sort of advance, even if it's just some jackass customer pretending to flirt, is pretty similar to LBT's, and for much the same reason. Any sleaze who came out with an "Oh, isn't that cute!" reaction would get a KILL WITH FIRE reaction, at least if I was more angry than scared.
"Reaction" twice in one sentence. Buggrit!
Fuck off. Plenty of non-creepy people attend SDCC and plenty of creepy people feel exactly as you do about it.
Not really. By definition, every single person who willingly walks into that odiferous mixture of dried semen and fromunda cheese is one creepy motherfucker.
@Dragon Slayer
Nope. You are still wrong.
LBT – I don't know whether it was cluelessness (failing to get that other people have boundaries) or thinking seeing someone's reaction to their boundaries being violated is cute, but it was well over the line as I read it. Clueless rather than deliberate is about the only slack I'm giving on this one. Wasn't aimed at me, I know, but it's a situation I can very easily read myself into, so it got the hackles rising on my own account as well as yours.
Even if it was him reading socially awkward, where does he get off ignoring your specific description of feeling intense discomfort?
Not really. By definition, every single person who willingly walks into that odiferous mixture of dried semen and fromunda cheese is one creepy motherfucker.
Draggin' Arks's definition of creepy seems to include everyone except him and (presumably) the blokes he allegedly has sex with.
RE: Kittehs
I admit, I have trouble differentiating between a polite flirtation and a creepy one. I also feel guilty about how I reacted to one guy from high school trying to re-initiate with, "I had such deep feelings for you," and I reacted… badly. So… yeah.
Oh, Dragon Slayer. Never change your colorful, colorful vocabulary and peculiar turns of phrase.
LBT – I find flirtation creepy even if I don't think the guy is actually being creepy, if that makes any sense. It makes my skin crawl. I don't know if it's the more-or-less asexual thing, or the husband-exclusively thing, but the sense of anyone else acting in a remotely sexual way to me, or that they might want/expect me to reciprocate … at best it might be so ridiculous it's funny, like the young guy who asked me to be his Valentine the other week; mostly it's just EURRRGH.
Of course men shouldn't hit women for no reason but anytime a woman squares up to you, or threatens you with physical violence you should be able to retaliate. Just as you would man. Men understand the unspoken rule of violating personal space in an aggressive manner will spawn a reaction.
Infact a woman attacking you with a Knife should be beaten WORSE than a man attacking you, because the woman attacking you know she has the backing of the law and the state to stab you and she will be given shelter in a Domestic Violence Scam house. While the tyrannical state Feminist enforcers that men nation wide of all colors and creeds come to call "police" will chain and haul you away; all the while you are bleeding profusely from the gash in your arm.
Bullshit. The simple rule is that you respond with proportionate force, enough to STOP the attack on you, regardless of who is doing the attacking. You don't start beating someone when you've stopped the attack because that is launching an assault of your own.
Sounds to me like you're more interested in being able to beat women than in protecting yourself. Your whole post was pulled straight out of your arse.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Where do i start.
I think it is a gigantic money lawndering scam
My Thought Is???????????????????
I would bet my career on the fact that alot of there client base isn't even real.
I think they have way to much bad exposure over the internet, i mean bad press.
How could a client ever come on board with that company.
I bet it has something to do with store valued credit cards or something. Half of the clients don't even own a car probably. They Propably don't even know they have and ad out there. The person on the telephone with the reps probably is in another call center some where. Possing as a client, With all there information, or something Like That...
Their Fruds....
My Name starts with: W
I was One Of the TO'S Over There.
And I started to realize that there may have been some real clients but there was alot more fonnie clients then any thing...
I started to ask my self if i was the best closer in the world...
These clients come aboard so easy..
Until i started to test the client to see if there was anything that i could say to make them not come aboard. They still came aboard. So i got curious and the company got wise. And told me that i was going to quit. they gave me a Check. And i haven't been back seens...
I want every one to read these because i was doing everything write and they paryed off that..
I was wondering why the turn over was so high..
They always made it our fault..
Really they wanted it to happen like that so know body would caught on to what they where doing. Landering money with idenity theft. The employees where always new so they didn't Know what was going on....
A new person that came in would get those mystress calls that said they where talking to a rep their, that's not there anymore..
How would they Know that that person on the other end of that phone has been pitched they wouldn't, That called a lay down.
It was happening all the time.
That's what made me wonder...
Adam a pour young kid is probably going to take the fall because Rob Wilder is stuck in mexico with over 6 million dollars.. He's probably not ever coming back!!!!!!!!!!
Due the math 300 work days at let say 30 to 40 deals a day if not more. So 300 days x 40 deals = 12000 deals
12000 deals X 500.00 = $ 6,000,000.00 That's Six Million Dollars.
Now How Do You Write 30 to 40 deals a day every day, no way!
Some weeks we had 50 employees And Some We had 20 Tops. Brand new at that..
This What I think They Were Doing............
I think they were running people's credit cards on some fonnie
merchant accounts for a pre-paid debit card. And used that debit card to order from onestopmotors.com. It only make sense every client that gave us a card went through, Impossible. There was some real clients and alot of fake ones, i bet. But i bet that is how they where doing it.
No charge Backs, Come ON..
That Makes It Seem to good to be true.
I am really sorry to the people that ever came in contact with this organization and it's employer's. That were suppossedly independent contractors. Yah write??????????????????
For those of you that Knew about it shame on you......
I wonder What's in store for them. I meen Rob and Neil and their side kick Veronica. ?????????????????????

The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner
Jason Compson
Character Analysis
Lots of families have a bad apple somewhere in its family tree. Cinderella had some nasty stepsisters. King Lear had two evil daughters, Goneril and Regan. The Compsons have Jason.
We wish we could say that Jason had some redeeming qualities. The thing is, he really doesn't. We're not even kidding. As a child, Jason was a tattletale. Faulkner makes clear that even as a child, Jason's telling is really only a measure of his inefficacy. As Caddy points out, if you've "already told…There's not anything else you can tell, now" (1.322). "Telling" is the sort of power that doesn't build friends or last long. Jason's not in for long-term relationship building, however – unless that relationship involves looking out for Number One.
Moreover, even as a wee tyke, Jason is obsessed with one thing: money. He scams other little kids into selling kites made from flour paste. (This obsession with the flour barrel sticks with him throughout his life. He's pretty aware of how much flour the house uses as a grown-up, as well.) As an adult, he spends his time either stealing his niece's money, convincing his mother that he's making tons of money or watching the stock market. Given that he actually manages to keep lots of money (at least until the end of the novel, at any rate), things seem to be working out for him.
It's tempting to think that Jason's the one who makes out best in the Compson family. For one thing, we all know that nice guys finish last. That should mean that Jason finishes first, right? Well, yes. And no. See, everyone in this novel loses the thing that they care about most. Benjy loses Caddy. Quentin loses Caddy. Quentin Jr. loses Caddy. And Jason? Well, he loses the money that Caddy sent. It's pretty much the same thing, after all.
Unfortunately, even when Jason has money, he's ridiculously unhappy. And bitter. And mean. We've quoted it before and we'll quote it again: his opening line, " Once a bitch, always a bitch, I say" (3.1), is a glorious way to show us just how nasty the guy actually is. Like his brothers, Jason spends most of his life regretting the past. The difference between Jason and his brothers is that Jason always manages to find someone to blame for his sorry fate. And let's face it, his fate actually is honestly pretty sorry. He lives in a run-down house with a self-absorbed mother. He's got a charity job at a hardware store – and he wouldn't even have that if his mother wasn't an old friend of the owner.
At the end of the day, though, Jason manages to pin all his problems on Caddy. It's Caddy who doesn't hook him up with a job at a bank. It's Caddy who sends money to her daughter, not to him. It's Caddy who took the family name and trampled it into the mud. In other words, it's really convenient when you have a target to dump all your hate on. Jason even extends his hatred of Caddy to women in general. As he says of his lover:
I never promise a woman anything nor let her know what I'm going to give her. That's the only way to manage them. Always keep them guessing. If you cant think of any other way to surprise them, give them a bust in the jaw. (3.122)
Hating women doesn't stop Jason from hating other people, as well; he's also prejudiced against African-Americans and Jews. Interestingly, even his hate for other races is tied up in his own analysis of economic profit: "I give every man his due, regardless of religion or anything else. I have nothing against the jews as an individual […] it's just the race. You'll admit that they produce nothing" (3.102).
And here's his opinion of black employees at the hardware store: "What this country needs is white labor. Let these dam trifling niggers starve for a couple of years, then they'd see what a soft thing they have" (3.98).
Here's the thing, though: all of Jason's hate and bitterness and all-around awfulness make him seem ….well, flat. His character doesn't really change, does it? He's crummy as a kid. He's crummy as an adult. In other words, he just doesn't keep us guessing. He scams kids as a kid; he scams adults (his mother, as a matter of fact) as an adult. So here's our question: is Jason a believable character? Is it possible that a human being can be that downright unpleasant all the time? Or does Jason just become a massive foil for the other characters?
OK, that's a whole pile of questions. But they're a long-winded way to point out that Jason sometimes seems like the cartoon-character version of himself. He's as horrible a human being as he imagines Caddy to be. Go figure.

It was a wild third period as the teams combined for seven goals but unfortunately for the Leafs they only had three of them. The Hurricanes were up 3-1 before Tim Brent scored two straight goals to level it.
That was as close as the Leafs would get as Brandon Sutter scored his second of the period and Jeff Skinner added a power-play goal to put the 'Canes up 5-3.The Leafs would get one back but they couldn't find the equalizer as they dropped their second straight.
It looked like Cam Ward was going to steal the show but Brandon Sutter turned out to be the difference in this one as he scored two goals for the second time in a game this season.
Sutter has played well in his brief career against the Leafs. He has now potted five goals in eight games against the Leafs. Sutter has 10 goals on the season and the Hurricanes are 7-0-1 when he scores. Sutter finished the night a plus three with two shots in 15:58 of ice-time.
Tim Brent had a career-high three points in the loss. The two goals in a game was the first time he has ever accomplished that feat in the NHL. His second goal was his best as he faked the shot and with Ward down he put the puck into the wide open net.
Brent made a sweet backhand pass to Mike Brown for the power-play goal. Brent had three points, was a plus two, one hit and one blocked shot in just 10:43 of ice-time.
Special teams played a big role in the outcome in Monday's tilt. Coming into the game, the Leafs' penalty killers were playing much better of late but the Hurricanes scored two goals including the winner with the extra man.
As for the Leafs' power play, before Mike Brown's late goal, they had gone 0-7 against Carolina. The Leafs have registered just two goals in their last 24 power-play attempts.
Ron Wilson on the penalty calls in the game and the Leafs' best performers on the night:
"There were a lot of ticky-tack penalties and when you actually watch them you guess that''s the penalty they called but what can you do? We had opportunities. We got ourselves back in the game. At the end of the night our best line was our fourth-line guys and a lot of other guys really didn't get the job done."
Game Notes:
The Maple Leafs conclude the back-to-back as they face the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning in the Leafs' final game before the 2011 NHL All-Star break.
The Lightning are coming off a 7-1 win over Atlanta on Sunday. Steven Stamkos leads the NHL in goals (38) and points (67).

We are now in the dead of winter, and while this year may not be like last year (one of the mildest winters on record), we still have not had the deep snows and bitter cold like winters of the past.
Just about everyone knows the trout stocking trucks have been moving for nearly two months. A few people have told me some real beauties have been stocked in the Bowden area.
Another person asked me if I have been out fishing yet. About the only thing I could say was no, I have not had time. The hard fact is that I have not done any serious fishing of any kind for at least five years, but I surely would like to.
One person has already told me the water in the new Elkwater Fork Reservoir is super clear. If this is true, it would definitely be one place I would like to try out if the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources stocks it.
The real purpose for this reservoir is water supply. In 1993, there was a serious drought in this area, and the water supply was within 72 hours of depletion. Several steps were taken to prevent future water shortages.
Right now, it is estimated that about 27,000 Randolph County residents will benefit from this improvement in the Upper Tygart Valley Water System. The Huttonsville Public Service District says it has plans to construct a water treatment facility nearby.
The location of this new reservoir is on the Elkwater Fork Road (Randolph County 58) about 1 3/4 miles west of U.S. 219.
The cost was about $32 million dollars that included land acquisition, design, and construction. The dam is 123 feet high, made with roller-compacted concrete. The surface area of the reservoir is 54 acres.
On Aug. 22, 2012, this facility was officially dedicated. Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said the June 29 storm is a perfect example of how much our water supply is a needed resource. Capito went on to say, "When we have a disaster like that so many people lost their water, and I think this will help provide water and more plentiful and accessible, it's great planning and I think that's what we need to do in this country."
This past week, I talked with fish biologists at the Elkins Operations Center and French Creek. Both have told me there are no current plans for stocking this reservoir because of the accessibility problem.
The road leading into the tailwaters is nearly impassable for a stock truck.
At the same time, when fish are stocked, they are put in the water for people to catch. Several people have told me the foot path to the top of the dam is a very long and steep climb, which might be discouraging to people with disabilities. The fish biologists do agree with me that it is a shame to have such a great body of water and not be able to put game fish in it.
The biologists say this facility could be stocked with not only trout, but various forms of bass, bluegill, and walleye. I have often said walleye is the best tasting game fish in the state.
Another factor to take into consideration is the land disturbance that went on during construction of the dam.
Could trout still live in this water that was once a native brook trout stream? This is something our brain children who work for the DNR will have to figure out.
Lastly, let's think of the economy boom for the rural communities of Huttonsville, Mingo, Monterville and Valley Head this new facility has to offer. This new reservoir has the potential to be a real treasure.

Car crash kills teenager in Higbee
POSTED: 12:03 PM CDT Jun 18, 2013 UPDATED: 05:14 PM CDT Jun 18, 2013
A single-car crash in Higbee Tuesday morning killed one teenager and injured two others.
Law enforcement say a car crash on County Road 2560 killed Kayla Cooke, 19, of Higbee. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Troopers say the driver, Dakota Redifer, 19, of Higbee failed to handle a curve and ran off the right side of the road. The vehicle hit a tree and overturned.
Redifer suffered serious injuries, including head injuries. Another passenger, Dylen Gordon, 19, of Moberly had minor injuries.
Troopers say Cooke and Redifer were not wearing seat belts, while Gordon was wearing one.

By Capt. Amanda L. Kehrrington, 18th Military Police Brigade Public AffairsDecember 2, 2011
ANSBACH, Germany (Dec. 2, 2011) -- A military policeman was dispatched in response to a report of a baby crying an extended length of time, in base housing on Katterbach Kaserne here Nov. 16. Little did anyone realize that his response would ultimately result in saving a mother's life and her unborn baby.
Spc. Quindrea Johnson of the 527th Military Police Company, 709th MP Battalion, 18th MP Brigade, was the first responder on the scene when a pregnant woman was found face-down in her apartment.
When Johnson arrived at the residence, he and his supervisor, Sgt. John Starr, were unaware of the situation on the other side of the door. After several failed attempts to gain a response from inside the apartment, Johnson and Starr announced themselves as military police while they loosened the holster on their weapons in preparation for any possible situation. Once inside the apartment, they conducted room clearing procedures.
"As an MP, when we get to the door we know there is a situation, we just don't know what situation," said Johnson. "We just have to go in there and make sure everybody's unharmed and stop the threat immediately."
Johnson started room clearing procedures and found the crying baby unharmed and quickly moved to clear the next room.
"I was the first one to the bathroom," said Johnson. "There was a blockage, so I used my body to ram into the door and that's where I found the woman laying on the ground face-down."
Karla Garcia, wife of Spc. Jihad Hadi Palms, an automated logistical specialist with the 412th Aviation Support Bn., was found on the floor of her apartment lying face-down.
Johnson instinctively fell to his knees, rolled Garcia over and noticed her eyes and mouth were shut and she was not breathing. He immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"She started gagging, so I tapped her on the side of the face saying 'stay with me, stay with me, stay with me,'" said Johnson.
Garcia responded informing Johnson of abdominal pain.
"I looked at the abdominal section, checked the abdominal with the hand-sweep method under to check for blood or any kind of sign of anything," said Johnson.
As emergency medical services arrived, Garcia told Johnson she was pregnant.
Garcia was then evacuated to Neuendettelsau Hospital for observation and to determine her condition and that of her baby. She and her baby are alive and healthy due to Johnson's heroic actions.
"While performing CPR, I was unaware of her pregnancy, so when I found out she (Garcia) was OK, it was a big relief," said Johnson. "When they told me the baby survived too, I felt like I had done the right thing."
Although Garcia remembers very little about the incident other than the feeling of Johnson's shaking hands as he pressed on her chest, she will always know that he was responsible for saving her and her baby's life.
"I'm glad the MPs were able to do their job," said Palms. "I really appreciate what he did and I want to thank him."
It's a great thing that as a wife I do not have to worry and know that if something happens the MPs will take care of me," said Garcia. "They took care of me and made sure I was OK."
"We can always rely on Secialist Johnson," said Staff Sgt. Kenneth Dill, 4th platoon sergeant, 527th MP Co. "We know if he is on scene then things are going to be OK."

"Good nutrition and conditioning for your dog are important," says Justin Tackett, host of Ducks Unlimited WaterDog. "A busy retriever is no different than a professional athlete. Their bodies start to break down from the bumps and bruises. Sure, they're having fun, but with that fun comes mental and physical stress. The dogs that are in the best condition and receive the best nutrition will be better off. Make sure your retriever is being fed a diet with at least 26 percent animal-based protein. I personally like 30 percent. And a working dog's diet should also have a heavy dose of fat, at least 18 percent."
Mississippi call maker Greg Hood advises hunters to think beyond the basics when calling ducks. "I want my decoy spread to sound like a raft of live ducks, and if you listen to a raft of ducks, they don't perform a calling routine," Hood says. He advises hunters to break up greeting and comeback calls with various pitches and cadences, and not to underestimate a duck's hearing. "Getting a duck's attention doesn't take as much volume as many people think. When you're sitting in a blind and suddenly hear a hen quacking, you usually think she's very close. But a lot of times, when you look for her, she's just a tiny speck in the sky. Your sounds carry the same way."
Tennessee waterfowl guide Steve McCadams has been brushing duck blinds for more than 40 years, and in most situations, he believes oak brush is the way to go. "From swamps and green timber to open water and flooded fields, brushing blinds with oak seems to work the best," he says. "Cane and various materials can be used to touch things up, but oak limbs are hard to beat for camouflage that lasts all season and blends in with most backgrounds—even when no trees are nearby." McCadams prefers white oak limbs cut before the first frost. "The leaves seem to stay on the limbs much better if they're cut while green."

May I ask what you're conducting further research on? Please say it's Banksy.
Oh, and by the way, the inclusion of Robert Davidson has several-fold reasons. I am Haida, so it's a gimme. Plus, Robert is the leader of the dance group I'm a member of (the Rainbow Creek Dancers), and also, the subject matter of the mask is one I hold dear. Transformation is a huge part of Haida culture, and has lots of personal significance as well.

Nope. Done did my research on him after the Paris incident hit the mainstream media...
Davidson, however, is one who has already sent me to Wikipedia... :)
Shalom, y'all!

Googling or Asking him is probably a better bet. It appears the Robert Davidson in Wikipedia is a Scottish inventor. Probably not nearly as talented, humble and funny as the Robert I know.
