TFG Linkfest: New York City Rules
By: The Football Girl | Posted: April 16, 2012
The weekend's biggest story came from New York where a certain figure largely known for abstinence was again in the limelight. That's right, Don Draper played shy in the brothel house. Of course he did.
And that's not all from New York. Eli Manning is crossing another item off of his "Catch up to Peyton" bucket list. The younger Manning will test out his humor chops for the first time as host of Saturday Night Live on May 5th. Too bad Rick Santorum is already old news. C'mon, throw a sweater vest on Eli and I promise creepy doppleganger thoughts will ensue.
Thanks to Eli and Lorne Michaels for the perfect excuse to show one of the greatest athlete sketches in the history of SNL:
Even more from "THE city." Tim Tebow was booed at yesterday's Yankees game. Tebow generally does better in the public opinion department in the redder states like Florida where one couple paid $100,000 to spend the day with him. What does a day with Tim Tebow entail? You tell me.
Back to Tebow's old stomping grounds where a dude auditioned to be a Broncos cheerleader.
Finally, in NFL analysts I love news, check out Josh Norris, Rotoworld contributor. This guy has seen loads of film, as evidenced by his in-depth analysis on Twitter. Norris also produced this nifty little position rankings spreadsheet. Check it out and sound smarter than you are next weekend.

text: Posted December 20, 2013 I hadn't shaved during our 8 game winning streak, but I shaved before the Saints game and you saw what happened... so I've been growing it back ever since. You're welcome. :cool: Same thing here. Except I shaved once the game got out of hand. I was pissed. It was an act of anger. And I regretted it from the moment I got the right side shaved. I look like i 12 year old without facial hair. But haven't touched it since. Playoff beard: Engaged! 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reviews and awards are from Goliath and Colossus, however all of the content in Colossus, plus more, is in Goliath.
"Goliath as a collection of sounds can't be beat. These are some of the most expressive and musical sounds out there, and there's no other one-stop sample player or library that comes close."
"Colossus was the clear choice for our Future Music Magazine Virtual Instrument of the Year A.C.E. Award," said Editor-in-Chief James Rotondi. "Its massive, comprehensive library of instruments, coupled with its top-tier, pro-level sound quality, made it the stand-out all-around virtual instrument of the year.
"Quantum Leap's contention that Colossus covers all the basic musical genres is accurate, but in some ways, sells the collection short because there's a ton of valuable, but definitely non-basic, sounds. And while they hit on the "Swiss army knife" concept, frankly, I'd respectfully disagree. A Swiss army knife is practical and useful, but I wouldn't consider it inspiring. I found Colossus to be all three. Certainly, the luxury of a 32GB "ROM set" is something you don't find in typical keyboard workstations, and they're right about ease of use — although operation is simple, not simplistic. So does it have you "completely covered?" Well, nothing can ever cover everything you could ever want. But I've yet to find something that comes as close as Colossus. Playing the sounds is a joy, and one can't help but respect the obvious amount of work that went into creating this library. Overall, Colossus is a superb collection that puts the essentials — and more — in a convenient, well-rounded package that definitely delivers on its promise."
"There's no such thing as the last sample library you need to buy, since there are libraries that cover every category in great detail, and there will always be different varieties of everything. But this library is complete enough to stand alone. Given its vast range of high-quality instruments, Colossus is equally ideal as the foundation of a professional sample library and as a fill-in-the-gaps collection. While its $1000 list price is a considerable investment for most musicians, in this case I consider it a bargain."
"Quantum Leap Colossus is a virtual instrument that holds a massive 32 GB sample library, in an attempt to provide practically any instrument that any arrangement might call for. Colossus even features an enormous General MIDI (GM) sound set. Overall, the quality of the sounds in this collection is very, very good."
"I like the fact that there's no crap in this package, it's hi-end sampling all the way – whether you choose to use the instruments or not. Colossus is not only a highly versatile plug-in for composers, it's a deep well of inspiration for sound designers and music makers. Colossus comes highly recommended."
— EQ Magazine
"The price of 799 Euro sounds a bit high in the beginning. However, once you realize how much you would have to spend for the individual components (instruments) and that you also get a lot of extras, it's a bargain. A colossal high-end production with all sounds for all occasions. Quality 5/5, Creativity factor 5/5, Production 5/5, Booklet 5/5, Overall 5/5"
— PC & Music

Beer dinner with top chefs on Feb. 25 will raise funds for veteran

My 1911 Single Cylinder, Single Speed, Belt Drive Reading Standard (RS) is my Cannonball Motorcycle for 2016. My team is Team RS and my Cannonball number is 58, in honor of my '58 Sportster and my AHRMA racing number 58. Jack Wells, Ed Miller, and Jack Wright are my Team Members. My RS engine was designed by Charles Gustaffson in 1906 and is the first side valve motorcycle engineered and manufactured in America. Charles Gustaffson was born in Sweden and so was my Father, Frederick Nels Nelson. My Reading Standard is 105 years old this year and my Dad passed away two years ago at the age of 105. He loved to play golf and his friends called him "Steady Freddie" because though his drives weren't powerful, his game was steady and he always scored well. In his honor, I'm calling my RS "Steady Freddie". My Reading Standard has never been restored and it will not be, as long as I own it. The wheels and gas/oil tank will be put aside and replacement hubs, spokes, rims and gas tank are being made. They will be safe but will look old. I am using clincher rims with Coker Non Skid tires. My Buddy, Beni Rodi of Team Salvage, donated a small front drum brake for the RS and the rear brake is a stock drum brake which uses the inside of the rear belt drive pulley for the brake shoe to act on.
Glenn Stasky, of Clearwater Lights, made an LED headlight and tail light/brake light assembly for the RS. They are powered by small on board modern batteries which will be charged each night. My engine has been upgraded with refurbished carb, new piston/rings, rod bushings, crank pin, rod pin, valves, drive pulley and magneto. Steve Pennington and Joe Gimpel have been invaluable and have done the lion's share of work on the RS.
I rode a 1929 BMW R-11 in the 2012 Cannonball and finished Third and I rode a 1928 BMW R-52 in the 2014 Cannonball and finished Second. My Reading Standard is a single cylinder, single speed, belt drive motorcycle and it will be a supreme challenge to finish the 2016 Cannonball Run with a perfect score on it. I love the Reading and am looking forward to running it in the 2016 Cannonball Run!! LET'S RIDE!!
I am honored and excited to be one of the riders in the 2016 Cannonball. This will be my first year riding in the Cannonball however motorcycle riding and motorcycles have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. As a child my father would take my sisters and I motorcycle riding in the desert which later developed into riding motorcycles across the U.S. with my wife and friends. I enjoy hitting the road with no specific agenda and seeing where it takes me. About ten years ago I started building and restoring my own motorcycles and developed a love for older bikes and naturally gravitated towards the Cannonball. I will be riding a 1913 Harley Davidson 9B single cylinder, single speed. I am currently building the bike and intend to have it done well before the race to allow time to test ride it and modify it as needed. Luckily for me south Texas affords year round riding.
Posted by Wayne Ruhe on Friday, February 26, 2016
I have already started making friends within the Cannonball community and as in most circles of motorcycle riders have met some of the nicest people who are always willing to lend a helping hand or pass on advice. I have come to learn over the years that the best part of building and riding motorcycles are the friends and relationships that get built along the way. See you there. Vic
New Zealand Classic Motorcycles, Nelson, New Zealand is sponsoring a 1916 3.5 h.p., 3 speed, all enclosed chain drive Sunbeam in the 2016 Cannonball.
It will be ridden by Tom Sturgess, also of Nelson, a 65 year old classic bike enthusiast and sheep farmer.
The bike is currently being switched from beaded edge (clincher) tyres to modern bias ply tyres, having its petrol/oil tank evaluated for replacement, and being prepared for accumulating a targeted 1000 mile commissioning regime.
We are hopeful.
Participant in the previous three Lonnie Isam Jr. Cannonball endurance rides. I've been involved with motorcycles most of my life and got seriously involved in antique motorcycles around 2005. I now collect, restore and sell classic and antique motorcycles of various brands with a focus on Indian and Triumph. I plan to ride my 1915 Indian in the 2016 Cannonball.
Frank Rick, Elkhart Lake WI, my faithful friend and mechanic is scheduled to support me once again. I've had support from many friends and family on the past three rides such as my good friend Mark Moses of Victory /Indian of Charlotte. His support included providing me "Indian brand" clothing that keeps me looking fairly good and protecting me from the wide range of weather encountered. Individual supporters have been too many to list here, but a few faithful supporters are well knowns in the motorcycle and collector world like: Pete and Jackie Hill, Louie Hale, Lonnie Campbell, Eddie Garrett and Steve Philbeck. Of course my brother Steve Petty is my favorite fan – he also designed the rear brake system on my '15 Indian, which has saved me several times.
My video submission is a compilation of a sample of some of my favorite photos from the three rides – many of them taken by the gentleman artist and photographer Michael Lichter. I included photos of many of my fellow riders I spent a good bit of my time riding with. Wish I could have captured everyone.
The Cannonball is such a valuable learning experience, a test of your determination and a rollercoaster of emotions – elated days of trouble-free riding to disappointing setbacks and late night recoveries. You're happy for your fellow riders when they have a good day and you feel their pain when you see them struggle. The end - as they say - is bitter sweet. You're happy to have made it, but realize it's the end of the ride.
This is my video that's a requirement for entry in the 2016 coast to coast ride on motorcycles 100 years old and older that is scheduled for Sept. The video is suppose to be about yourself and your entry bike for 2016. I think my 3 previous completed cannonball rides capture it and show just a portion of my friends that I had the pleasure to ride with. Most photos are the property of Michael Lichter unless purchased from Mr. Lichter. Photos by Jim Dhoms as well. It's much better to the Kid Rock song - Born Free... but that's not allowed for use .Posted by Jim Petty on Monday, January 4, 2016

In 2010, a good friend of mine, Cris Sommer-Simmons was doing a vintage motorcycle race across the country on a 1915 Harley. I didn't know much about it then, but thought it sounded like an incredible adventure. In 2012, my husband, Scott Jacobs decided to do the race himself, and I figured I would ride along on my new Harley. Not only had I never ridden a foot clutch or tank shift bike before, I had never ridden any bike 4000 miles at one time. When I saw and felt the bond between the riders, I knew that I wanted to be a part of it next time. We started looking for bikes that met the criteria for 2014, and found not one, but two 1936 HD VLH bikes. I chose the 3 speed instead of the 4 speed, and after having it completely restored, I learned how to ride it. That was the easy part.
Day 1 - Seized my pistons! Day 2 - Replaced the pistons with over 70's in an 80 bore, and managed to finish that day! Day 3 - Seized my pistons!!! Yes, really. Thankfully, because we had the other '36, we stripped the top end, and overnighted it to the hotel. My mechanics changed everything out within 3 hours. Unfortunately, I had lost two full days because we had to wait until Monday to ship, so although I was out of contention, I wanted to finish what I started. I crossed the finish line after 17 days, (the last 12 days with a perfect score) and not only was it a physical accomplishment, but also an emotional and personal victory! When Lonnie announced the 2016 Century Race, I started looking for the next machine to conquer this feat. Watch me in 2016 where I'll be riding a 1915 Harley-Davidson F11 with my wonderful and supportive Cannonball Family. Can't wait!!!

Gulf of California Xeric Scrub
This taxon occurs in the Gulf of California xeric scrub ecoregion, situated along the eastern coastal zone and Gulf of California versant of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, and is delineated by the spine of the La Giganta Sierra Mountains. This ecoregion, located entirely within the nation of Mexico, is classified within the Deserts and Xeric Scrublands biome. Species richness of plants is high in the ecoregion, but modest for fauna; however, endemism is high in this arid habitat, which receives some of the lowest precipitation in all of Mexico.
Dominant flora species are Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata) and White Bursage (Ambrosia dumosa); moreover, other plant taxa occurring here include: Arizona Nettle-spurge (Jatropha cinerea), Desert Ironwood (Olneya tesota), Acacia brandegeana, Blue Palo Verde (Cercidium floridum), and Chloroleucon mangense var. leucospermum. Species of more mesic habitats occur on the many oases that are present on the Baja Peninsula: Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta), Southern Cattail (Typha domingensis), Common Reed (Phragmites australis) and Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera). The oases are remnants of more extensive mesic environments that existed in the peninsula in prehistoric times; these earlier habitats consisted of larger bodies of surface water distributed throughout the peninsula, surrounded by vegetation that belongs to wetlands interspersed with common elements of the xeric scrub.
The Isla Santa Catalina Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus bugastrolepis) is an endemic reptile to the Gulf of California xeric scrub, occurring only on Isla Santa Catalina, and often found in dead cacti. Other reptile species found here include: the endemic Santa Catalina Island Whiptail (Cnemidophorus catalinensis), seen only on Santa Catalina Island in the Gulf of California; the endemic Santa Catalina Island Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus lineatulus); the endemic San Lorenzo Islands Lizard (Uta antiqua); the endemic Salsipuedes Island Whiptail (Cnemidophorus canus), restricted in occurrence to endemic to the islands of Salsipuedes, San Lorenzo Norte and San Lorenzo Sur ; the endemic Raza Island Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus tinklei), found on Raza Island; the endemic Santa Cruz Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus santacruzensis); the endemic Isla Partida Del Norte Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus partidus), found solely on Isla Partida Norte and Cardonosa Este, in the Gulf of California; the endemic Angel Island Leaf-toed Gecko (Phyllodactylus angelensis), found only on several Gulf of California islands in the county of Islas Angel de la Guarda; the endemic Las Animas Island Gecko (Phyllodactylus apricus); and the near-endemic Marbled Whiptail (Cnemidophorus marmoratus), the latter of which occupies burrows in sandy soils.
There are a number of mammalian taxa present in the Gulf of California xeric scrub, including: Angel Island Mouse (Peromyscus guardia CR), an ecoregion endemic known only from Ángel de la Guarda Island in the northern Gulf of California, México; the ecoregion endemic Burt's Deermouse (Peromyscus caniceps CR), known only from Montserrat Island, Baja California Sur, Mexico; Baja California Rock Squirrel (Spermophilus atricapillus EN), a Baja California endemic; and the Fish-eating Bat (Myotis vivesi VU), which is found along in the coastal zone of Baja California and Sonora. Bunker's Woodrat (Neotoma bunkeri EX) was previously endemic to the ecoregion and is now extinct.

Olneya tesota is a perennial flowering tree of the Fabaceae family, legumes (peas, beans, etc.), which is commonly known as Ironwood or Desert Ironwood. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Olneya. This tree is part of the western Sonoran Desert complex in the Southwestern United States, which includes flora such as palo verde, saguaro, ocotillo, brittlebush, creosote bush, and mesquite.
The Desert Ironwood grows as a bush or tree and reaches heights of about 10 metres (33 ft), and average trunk diameters of about 60 cm (24 in); in exceptional sites in larger protected washes, greater height and more massive.
In younger trees, the bark is gray, shiny, and smooth; in older trees the bark is broken open. The tree is an evergreen plant, but can lose its leaves if temperatures fall below 2 °C (36 °F). In continual drought conditions leaves will be lost.
Leaves are bluish-green and pinnate compound. Leaves are arranged on a petiole, 6 in (15 cm) long, with 6-9 leaflets-(or variously up to 15, 7, 7-opposite, and one terminal), each being 0.7 to 2.5 cm (0.28 to 0.98 in). At the base of each pinnate leaf petiole grow two thorns, about 1 cm (0.39 in) long.
Bloom time occurs in late April/May to June. Flowers are of 5 unequal petals, in colors of medium purple, magenta-red, or also white to pale pink. Seedpods are 5–8 cm (2–4 in) long, and light reddish brown. When seedpods are ripened two other species Parkinsonia florida-(Blue Palo Verde), and Acacia constricta-(Catclaw Acacia) have similar light red brownish colors. Catclaw acacia seedpods are noticeably J-shaped and of shorter length.
Range and location[edit]
The Desert Ironwood, Olneya is native to the southwestern United States and extreme northwestern Mexico in the Baja California Peninsula and the Sonoran Desert, and is partially an indicator species of that desert. Within Mexico its range includes the states of Baja California Sur and Baja California, on the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) side east of the cordillera ranges, and Sonora state west of the Sierra Madre Occidental cordillera, in the south approaching the northern border of northern Sinaloa state. In the southwestern US its range includes the Colorado Desert of southeast Southern California, a part of the Sonoran Desert, and western and southern Arizona. Olneya does not range into the higher-elevation, colder, southeast of Arizona's Sonoran Desert region, nor into the sky islands of the Madrean Sky Islands region.
Ironwood Forest National Monument in south-central Arizona is named for Olneya tesota.
An indicator species[edit]
Olneya tesota is an indicator species of the Sonoran Desert region,[2] The Sonoran Desert has one other species with the identical north-south, and east-west range. The seasonally migrating Lesser Long-nosed Bat follows the bloom season of various species from south to north and extends into the same regions of the Sonoran Desert as Olneya; (their ranging maps are virtually identical). The bat ranges from southern Baja California del Sur and north into the southwestern United States.[3]
In the north, both species define the Colorado Desert subregion of the Sonoran Desert surrounding the northern end of the Gulf of California; further south in the Baja Peninsula the sub-division is defined as the Vizcaino Desert.
Other winter time and permanent ranges of the bat extend into northern countries of Central America.
Use and workability[edit]
Olneya ironwood is very hard and heavy. Its density is greater than water and thus sinks; it does not float downstream in washes, and must be moved by current motion. One popular usage for the wood is for knife handles, since its hardness, beautiful grain, and coloring is ideal.
Due to its considerable hardness, processing desert ironwood is difficult. Final treatment of the wood with solutions can also be difficult because of its high density.

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby Chapter 9 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 4
That's my Middle West – not the wheat or the prairies or the lost Swede towns, but the thrilling returning trains of my youth, and the street lamps and sleigh bells in the frosty dark and the shadows of holly wreaths thrown by lighted windows on the snow. I am part of that, a little solemn with the feel of those long winters, a little complacent from growing up in the Carraway house in a city where dwellings are still called through decades by a family's name. (9.121-122)
This is one of the few times we see anything rural in The Great Gatsby—Nick dismissing the "wheat" and "prairies" of what we'd call the mid-west. But the wheat and prairies he's dismissing are partly the basis of American wealth. All that money they spend on the East Coast has to come from somewhere.
Quote 5
Most of the big shore places were closed now and there were hardly any lights except the shadowy, moving glow of a ferryboat across the Sound. And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes – a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder. (9.182)
Now this is a passage to linger over. Before any big houses or valleys of ashes or even lost Swede towns, America in the "Dutch sailors' eyes" was a green, empty land. (They'd apparently never read 1491.) This vision of possibility is the same vision that Gatsby has—but it's no longer possible.
Quote 6
And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter – to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...and one fine morning– (9.149)
If there's anything more American than apple pie, it's the belief in self-improvement: that we're all capable of achieving our dreams, if we just hope and work hard enough. Unfortunately for Gatsby, that dream ends in tragedy.

Auditor debunks hotel room claims
Review finds convention center misstated occupancy, but not to justify expansion
The San Diego city auditor's fraud hotline received 50 complaints during the quarter ending in September, the office has reported.
City Auditor Eduardo Luna's office operates the fraud hotline, which allows employees or citizens to confidentially report any suspected fraud, waste or abuse within city government. Luna's office or city departments investigate the complaints, depending on the nature.
During the quarter, Luna's office concluded 52 hotline investigations. One complaint was substantiated, and it accused the San Diego Convention Center Corp. of overstating the number of hotel rooms paid for by convention attendees. The complaint alleged the center was overstating its own economic impact in order to justify a proposed $550 million expansion of the facility.
Luna's investigators found the center's estimates overstated the number of hotel rooms that were booked, but not with the intention of justifying the expansion. The auditor recommended telling the public how the estimates were calculated, and the staff agreed with the audit's recommendations.
The 50 complaints received during the quarter ending in September were an increase over the same period last year, when 15 complaints were made. According to the auditor's report, the hotline was marketed in city water bills and 31 of the calls were from city water customers complaining of billing issues or water leaks.
Those 31 water customer complaints and three additional complaints about situations outside of the city were forwarded to the appropriate department or authorities, the report said. Sixteen complaints were added to the list of investigations that are ongoing, which totaled 23 at the end of the quarter.
The 23 open investigations allege a variety of issues with city government, including unnecessary purchases, permit processing irregularities, unequal water billing, theft of city property, city council improperly delegating authority to the mayor, and employee misuse of telecommuting policies. Details were not available pending the outcome.

Is it possible to filter on Tags and not just Categories via the shortcode?
Is it possible to filter on Tags and not just Categories via the shortcode?
yes, visit this link http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/creating-custom-event-search-attributes/ then if you want reference when creating the function visit template placeholders/eventtags.php
I would like to suggest the following enhancement to the shortcode and that is to add the ability to filter on tags just like you can on categories:
[events_list tags="107,100,etc."]
Also the documentation is a bit confusing because how does my custom attribute that points to a non-custom field work? Where does the application store the tags that are associated with an event? Was going through the em_ database fields and could not find anything.
Please update your documentation to include the "tag" attribute as one of the filters on the shortcode. Spent half a day figuring out how to do this until I saw that you already implemented the ability to filter on Tags and not just Categories.
Sheesh.... otherwise, great plugin.

Over the centuries, people across the world have changed their religions and found faith in other than their mother religions. When it comes to film fraternity, we have seen many examples of it mainly in Hollywood and Bollywood.
Well, that doesn't mean that our Tamil films doesn't have any examples of it. We have quite a few notable personalities, who have left their religion and embraced a different one. Follow the slideshow to know who are those...

It was like a bizarro scene from Sex and the City, except, unlike Charlotte, Erika Porras didn't get new shoes out of the experience.
It was like a bizarro scene from Sex and the City, except, unlike Charlotte, Erika Porras didn't get new shoes out of the experience.
Tonight, Channel 4 in the UK will premiere an hour long documentary, Secrets of the Living Dolls, about female maskers and the men behind them.
Female maskers/dolls are a community of men who use latex rubber suits to recreate and exaggerate the female form. Also, they wear full face masks often with heavy drag…
FinDom is a specific kind of fetish in which a sub derives an erotic thrill from relinquishing control of their finances to a financial domme, which is where the practice derives its name. What occurs specifically within a findom relationship varies widely: it can be anything from paying a small tribute to the domme…
Oh, humans! You get engorged over the darndest things. I have to admit, when I first read about this fat-lady-fingernail-biting fetishist, my first thought was "You do you, little soldier!" and my second thought was, "...Wait...how much can I charge?" Because for reals—as a fat lady with fingernails and teeth—if this…
Greg pays me to come over to his apartment, usually with a friend, to burn his feet with cigarettes while he masturbates.
We've got trouble in the Windy City. With a capital T and that rhymes with D and that stands for Daddy, as in Leather Daddy. Apparently, the popular International Mr. Leather convention, an annual gathering of fetish enthusiasts that is every non Northface jacket-wearing Chicagoan's favorite people watching weekend,…
A friend was searching for job opportunities on Craigslist when he came upon this, um, job:
Well this is handy! Things learned: being turned on by muscles is called Sthenolagnia, people turned on by their periods have a case of Menophilia, and Andrew McCarthy's obsession in Mannequin was just a classic case of Agalmatophilia all along!
Gerontophilia is defined as "the condition in which a young adult is dependent on the actuality or fantasy of erotosexual activity with a much older partner in order to initiate and maintain arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm." But should attraction to old people really be considered a fetish?
Is this ever okay? We're gonna go with "no," but at the same time, we feel for this writer's dilemma: the truth is, in her situation, we'd probably do the same thing.
Occasionally, even the most open-minded and sex-positive sexpert reads a question that leaves him - and his readers - speechless. This one, from a beleaguered new mom, was one:
"Conservative guys, working-class guys, like the idea of a very ladylike foot with a perfect pedicure in a big old truck." -From a Daily Beast piece on "pedal pumping", a purported "Red State Sex Fetish". [Daily Beast]
On today's episode, Tyra interviewed men who are "obsessed" with obese women. However, it seemed a lot more like a fetish than an obsession. One guest, Scott has been attracted to 400-pound women ever since he was a little boy.
Kris Saknussemm has been studying sexual fetishes for 20 years, which, he admits, "is itself a kind of fetish." In a list compiled for Nerve, he divulges his favorites — beyond high-heels, whips or horseplay.
Place your bets: How long will it take before this story, about a creepy pedophile/Uggs boot fetishist, makes it into an episode of Law & Order: SVU?
Dian Hanson, responsible for the awesome book Girly Magazines, has a new subject: Stems. Pins. Gams. The Big Book Of Legs examines the "erotic oddity" of the female leg; "nearly identical in structure to the male limb." [New Yorker]
Adnan and Rizwan Qadeer are two brothers living the American dream of prosperity through entrepreneurship and hard work. They are, however, doing it in Pakistan by making whips and corsets for kinky Americans.
One 28-year-old sneeze fetishist named Jay strongly prefers the real thing. He writes: "I prefer 100% real sneezes and ones that don't have to be induced with tissues and q-tips stuck up a person's nose." Fair enough.
Daniel Bergner, the author of the discussion-inspiring piece "What Do Women Want?", has a book on fetishes called The Other Side of Desire, so he submitted to Salon's Sarah Hepola... for an interview.

By default, Mechanics Explorer is set to open the first time you update a model. If a Mechanics Explorer window is already open for your model, the open window updates the model display. Note, however, that updating a model does not automatically bring the Mechanics Explorer window to the front. If the Mechanics Explorer window is hidden during model update, you must bring that window to the front to see the updated model.
If Mechanics Explorer fails to open during model update, check that Mechanics Explorer is set to open on model update:
In the Simulink® Editor menu bar, select Simulation > Model Configuration Parameters.
Expand the Simscape Multibody node.
Click Explorer.
Verify that Open Mechanics Explorer on model update or simulation is selected.
By default, Mechanics Explorer displays a model with the Z axis
of the World frame pointing up. Using this convention, the default
gravity vector
[0 0 -9.81] m/s^2 points down, a
direction that is practical for most applications. However, this convention
differs from that which CAD platforms commonly use, Y axis up, causing
Mechanics Explorer to display some models sideways. If this happens,
you can manually change the view convention to that used in the original
CAD assembly model. The figure shows the default Mechanics Explorer
display of an imported robot arm model.
To change the view convention of a model:
In the Mechanics Explorer toolbar, click the View Convention drop-down menu.
Select Y up (ZX Top).
Refresh the Mechanics Explorer display by selecting a view point from the Mechanics Explorer tool bar.
Mechanics Explorer displays the model using the new view convention.
During CAD import, Simscape™ Multibody™ uses a set of geometry files in STEP or STL format to generate the 3-D surface geometry of each CAD part. If Simscape Multibody cannot load the geometry file for a part, that part appears invisible in Mechanics Explorer. This issue does not affect model update or simulation.
The figure shows the Mechanics Explorer display of an imported model containing an invalid geometry file.
If a part of an imported model appears invisible in Mechanics Explorer:
In Mechanics Explorer, identify the name of each invisible part.
In the block diagram, open the dialog boxes of the associated Solid blocks.
In the Geometry section, check that the name and location of the geometry files are correct.
If either is incorrect, enter the correct information and update the model. Check that Mechanics Explorer displays the invisible part. If not, check if the geometry files are valid.
To visualize an imported model, Simscape Multibody relies on a set of geometry files that specify the 3-D surface geometry of the CAD parts. Each geometry file specifies the surface geometry of one CAD part as a set of 2-D triangles. To do this, the geometry files contain:
[X Y Z] coordinates of the triangle vertices
[X Y Z] components of the normal vectors for the triangles.
If a geometry file specifies a normal vector with zero length, Simscape Multibody issues a warning. The geometry file fails to load.
To import the color of a CAD part into Simscape Multibody, the color must be specified at the part level. Colors specified at the feature level, such as individually colored surfaces, or assembly level do not carry over into Simscape Multibody. This can cause parts to appear gray—the default solid color in Simscape Multibody—during model visualization. To correct this issue, you must modify the CAD part file directly to ensure that it contains a single color applied to the entire part.

In case anyone else is wondering, I just posted in the developer's forum on his site to see if he's still supporting this plugin. I was wondering because his demo page for the plugin has the same problem that happened on my site when I tried using it. It looked awesome in preview mode, but when I published the post... :(
Anyway, I'll post again here if I get a reply from him.

I was more irritated to find out that no person in your store could tell me why that was the policy or could even show me one bit of customer service. Perhaps not being able to return certain products should be something you tell your customers as a service. I would not have spent $170 on an item that I couldn't return.
The only answer from Menards as to what could be done, was to keep a broken product of poor quality and go to a authorized dealer to have it fixed under the warrenty. Not only providing me the inconvenience and extra cost of finding a dealer, getting the weed wacker to them, having it fixed, and picking it back up again, but Menards couldn't tell me of a dealer in the area.
I think the return policy should we changed to allow these returns on the simple basis that you should stand by the products you sell instead of inconveniencing me to have to go to a dealer to fix it.
If the product is that bad you shouldn't sell it, especially when you can carry a good brand for the same price. For instance the Stihl product I bought from ACE Hardware where they showed me how to use it, put gas in it, and tested it before I left the store.
The main thing that disappointed me was the lack of customer service from the store manager (Sean) who basically told me, too bad for you.
I also took the liberty of emailing the company through their website and the response I got was "Jeff, I'm very sorry we disappointed you so. Thank you Ray.
There ought to be a law against using tag lines that you don't stand behind or don't actually mean. Like the Menards tagline "Dedicated to service and quality." They are dedicated to ripping you off for cheap products only.
