Hey everyone,
So first a word about why I haven't written in some time. 1up was having this really weird issue that only seemed to affect me where no matter what computer I used, no matter what web browser, and no matter where it was on the site, I couldn't make comments on anything. I even made another user name and sure enough I could comment with it but not this one, needless to say I was frustrated so my feelings were "Well if I can't communicate with my readers then what's the point?". With the recent site update I tried to comment and lo and behold it worked! So I'm back, and I can respond to what you have to say better yet :). Enough with that, onto the main topic.
So you guys probably are going to want to know what my best games list is if you are reading what I have to say so I figured I'd knock it out early. Fair warning, MOST of my games are more current, and its not that I don't appreciate old games, I loved star fox 64, Sonic the hedgehog, Mortal Kombat 2, and Ocarina of time, I just feel like most lists don't give props to newer games that will one day be classics. Without further ado, THE LIST:
10. Okami
You know you've made a good game when Nintendo has to copy you (ok I'll stop). In all seriousness, this game is one of the most beautiful things to look at ever put on a video game console. Games like Okami, Team Fortress 2, and Kirby's Epic Yarn really show you that you don't need hyper realistic graphics to sell your game, you can also just have kick ass style.
In Okami you play a wolf who is also a god (and who doesn't love playing a god?) who has been reincarnated to defeat a big evil legendary monster. The entire game looks like a Japanese water color painting, and I mean it legitimately looks like there is a painting that moves on your screen. It cannont be stressed enough how easy on the eyes this game is, I never get tired of looking at it.
It also helps that the story is kid-friendly yet still really engrossing, the written dialogue is unfortunately accompanied by often annoying gibberish voices put there as a representation of audio dialogue, but the story is so epic, funny, and intriguing that you really get over it after a while. The water color brush mechanic is more fun on PS2, but manageable on the Wii version. If you are a Zelda fan, or a fan of epic RPGs, you owe it to yourself to try out Okami. I mean hey, that guy up there got a tattoo of it, they have to be doing something right.
9. Sly Cooper
Yes I'm talking about the first one where you play Sly the entire time, I don't know why but Sly Cooper just nails that feeling all guys crave of being part of a heist. So often the mood of a game takes a back seat to graphics and mechanics, but Sucker Punch Games didn't let that happen. Sly comes off as a witty thief you can actually empathize with, and the game itself is ridiculously fun.
Swooping through lasers and cracking safes for hours straight never got old, and every new location Sly and his gang went to was always different and interesting. The second and third game were fun don't get me wrong, but personally they can't compare to the pure awesomeness of playing Sly the entire game, and the excitement of discovering a new type of game you love.
Thankfully this game is being remastered for HD and will be in stores next month if you've never played it. Basically, if you like movies like Oceans 12, Inception, or The Score, you probably want to play this game.
8. God of War III
God of War 3 was like Halo 3 for PS3 owners. I remember watching the epic opening cut-scene and just laughing out of pure anticipation for all the gods I was about to own. I've never played a game where I connected as deeply with a character as this one. I never felt any pity for anyone Kratos killed, after having played the first two games and seeing all the BS he had to go through to get his revenge, every player wanted to be there to drive a sword through Zeus' heart.
Not to mention the graphics, I mean God of War III really made me realize how powerful the PS3 can be, every texture in the game was crisp, Kratos' model was particularly well detailed, it was almost like looking at a cutscene everytime he moved. The ending is pretty controversial but I personally think it was fitting, Sony delivered on their promise of an epic closing chapter to the story. Of course the gameplay was basically exactly the same as the last two, but the game just looked a lot smoother and each move that Kratos did which you'd seen a thousand times on PS2 had new life breathed into it when you saw it slicing open super detailed baddies on PS3.
This is one game that a movie could really never do justice to, the story is important no doubt, but at the end of God Of War III just stop and think how much Kratos had to DO to get to that point. Think of all the killing, all the puzzles, and all the yelling lol. No movie can really give you the sense of accomplishment that the game gives you, and that is one of the many things that makes God Of War special.
7. Marvel Vs Capcom 2
I mean where else are you going to see Spider-Man knocking Jill Valentine's block off? MvC 2 was a dream come true for many kids who grew up in the arcades, this is a game that stayed true to its source materials (getting the actual voice actors from the cartoons), had fast paced yet skillful combat, and kept you coming back defeat after defeat again. The best part for me was just seeing who would finally win in matchups like Ryu vs Wolverine or Cyclops vs Mega Man, because when you're a nerd like me, that is freaking awesome.
With re-release after re-release and finally a third one being made, this game is sure to go down as a classic. Although there are some balance issues and it is no longer taken seriously as a pro level fighting game, if you sit down with a buddy and play it is still just as fun. The moves are pretty easy to pull off and an epic comeback always seems to happen after a few rounds, this is one game that goes along with Samurai Showdown II in demonstrating why fighting games are so addictive and fun in the first place.
6. Dead Space
I'm gonna come right out and say it, I've never been a fan of scary video games. They tend to be slow, you always feel weak in them, and the scares can be pretty predictable at times. Dead Space is all of these things, yet I kept asking myself "WHY can't I stop playing this game!?". I have never been "have to stop playing" scared by a game, that was until this game. This game is basically a retelling of the movie "Event Horizon" or the game "Doom 3", yet dead space just did it better.
The Ishimura (the ship you're on most of the game) is one of the scariest hell holes I've ever had the displeasure of walking down, yet I couldn't stop wondering what was down the next corridor, maybe if I repair THIS thing I'll be one step closer to finding out what happened to Isac's girlfriend, how are they going to top this boss? I was completely polarized by this game, yeah you were slow and aiming was an arduous process , yeah I was constantly running out of ammo, and most of the time I called it before a monster jumped out, but I was so disgusted and intrigued by the story that it kept me hooked.
I don't care about mechanics, I don't care about graphics (although these are sickeningly good), and I don't care about the story. If you want to be scared out of your mind, play this game in a dark room and just enjoy the ride. The ending is totally worth it too.
5. Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII is the game that made me a gamer, its the game that made me want to be a writer, and its the game that changed the face of RPGs forever. The storyline was pretty hard to understand, but for some reason it kept you playing for 40+ hours, the battle system was revolutionary for its time and the graphics of course were jaw dropping. The thing that made FF7 such a big deal was also it was the first game that really asked the gamer to take it seriously, these characters developed so much over the course of the game that you really can't say any of them (except Vincent) were the same person in the end.
Also the extra stuff to do in that game rivals many MMOs in size and scope, winning chocobo races, breeding them, getting lucky and getting a gold one, getting all the master materia, defeating emerald and ruby weapon, and all the limit breaks took forever. If you loved this game, the game was more than able to provide you with plenty to do. FF7 has more on those 3 discs than most current gen games have after a dozen patches and downloadable content. I hate to say it, but in my day developers had once chance to get a game right, and Square knew it.
4. Mass Effect 2
It is rare that a game gets the sequel right, it is rarer that a game improves upon its predecessor. Mass Effect 2 first off is a really personal experience if you carry over a saved game from the first game, seeing all your choices from the first game having an effect on the second one is a really fulfilling thing. Secondly the game has a darker tone which I love, not that there's anything wrong with playing the hero, but the mood of the first game was too flighty too goody two shoes for me, the second game introduces a mysterious dude called the Illusive man who rivals the G-Man from Half Life in awesomeness. The game also introduces a decidedly darker story, playing on the bad guys team is a welcome change and although you of course still have the choice to be Paragon Shepard, you still never become the beacon of humanity they make you out to be in the first one.
BioWare is really becoming the next Blizzard and this game shows it off, BioWare delivers a polished story, gameplay that is much more user friendly than the first one, and the sheer amount of recorded dialogue deserves special mention. You really do get to call the shots in the game, even if every Shepard ends up in the same place, how you get there is up to you. With Dragon Age 2, the Star Wars MMO, and a 3rd Mass Effect coming out, I don't know how BioWare keeps it all together, but I'm really glad they do. Their games are always solid and ME2 is a perfect example.
3. World Of Warcraft
Love it or hate it, you've got to acknowledge this game will go down in history as a phenomenon. Never before has one game brought so many people together to bitch about and journey forth for virtual stuff. Blizzcon sells out in seconds, Blizzard is an 18 billion dollar company, and they made a million dollars off of a virtual horse. The game is unprecedented.
As much fun as I have in Azeroth and Outland, even I have to acknowledge it is all one big carrot on a stick, and that is the genius of the game. Blizzard has mastered the balance of cool lore, the promise of bigger and better stuff, and accessibility. This perfect storm of addiction has millions of players shelling out money monthly for more, and its not done.
If I had to pick a successor to WoW it'd probably be Old Republic right now, but many have fallen before in their attempt to take the throne of MMO master from WoW, no matter when it happens (and it will happen), WoW will go down as one of the greatest and most successful games of all time. Hats off to you Blizzard, now bring on the Cataclysm.
2. StarCraft II
I'll admit it, one Blizzard game after another is pretty shameless, and having it so high up on the list is unforgivable, but you know what this is MY list so deal with it. StarCraft II is more much more than StarCraft 1 with a new coat of paint. This game has already taken over the RTS pro scene, and if Blizzard has anything to say about it it will continue to. I believe Day9 said it best when he stated that this game is Chess at warp speed. A game of StarCraft II may not look complex to an outsider, but christ almighty is there a lot going on under the hood.
Not only has Blizzard made a complex and fun RTS, the single player campaign was bar none one of the more emotional experiences i've had with a game. As a kid I longed to explore more of the world of starcraft than watching scrolling text and looping video during a briefing before a mission, and SC2 gave us just that. The world comes to life in a big way in SC2, and the story is engaging the entire time, for two days I did nothing but eat sleep and play this game, and it was worth every second.
StarCraft II is a game that will be here for a long time, it isn't the best looking, it isn't the most hardcore strategy game out there, and sure it has its flaws. However, StarCraft II has a quality that makes a game stellar, this game is pure fun and every time you come back to you experience something new. Addicting, deep, and always something new to master, mark my words StarCraft 2 is the RTS all others will be judged by from now on.
1. Team Fortress 2
The best game I have ever played, TF2. No game does it as right as TF2 does. Screw Call of Duty, screw Halo, and screw Battlefield, Team Fortress 2 is the first person shooter that blows them all away. The staying power of this game is unearthly, I bought this game before it came out because the art style looked (and still does) awesome. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. Team Fortress 2 is a testament to why gamers play games, every time I have sat down to play I have had a blast.
This game could have been called "The only FPS you'll ever need" and the developers could've shipped it proudly knowing that yeah they were right. No game has addicted me quite like this one, not even WoW, whether it be through updates, new maps, or full blown class updates, something always keeps me coming back to TF2. The thing that cannot be stressed enough is that Valve has kept every TF2 update free of charge, for years Valve released free updates that just blow any downloadable content on consoles out of the water. Not until last month has Valve decided to charge for items in the game, and even then you don't need to buy them since the items can be found through normal play.
TF2 is in my opinion better than Counter-Strike, and that's something Valve should be proud of, they bested their best FPS. No matter who you are, pulling off a backstab, capping the intel, mowing down an army with your chaingun, setting off a perfectly placed sticky bomb, or getting three headshots in a row is always awesome. This is a game for everyone, and this is a game that is just pure fun. Best game of all time!
Please feel free to post comments / flames / and suggestions below. Please again note that this is my personal list, and I know there are a TON of great games other than these. Thanks for reading guys, catch you next time!
Honorable Mentions: Shadow of the Colossus, Assassin's Creed II, The Force Unleashed, Kingdom Hearts, Portal, Chrono Trigger, Mario Galaxy 2, Final Fantasy VIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, Super Street Fighter 4

On Saturday morning, Spanish-speakers have an opportunity – the only one of its kind in the nation – to speak with experts on various health and medical issues at UC Davis' Sixth Annual Spanish Mini-Medical School.
Attendees will have a chance to learn about critical care issues in their native language and to discuss these topics in Spanish with health care professionals from UC Davis and the community.
Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, a clinical professor of internal medicine at UC Davis and director of UC Davis' Center for Reducing Health Disparities, said the sessions have been the venue for back-and-forth discussions and questions and answers between the audience and health care professionals. That way, the speakers learn about the needs of the community, too.
"What happens is that there's a lot of engagement of those who come. They really ask questions, make comments and we try to have it be as interactive as possible," Aguilar-Gaxiola said.
Topics will include diabetes, depression, use of interpreters, chronic pain, obesity, Alzheimer's and mental decline due to old age.
Aguilar-Gaxiola's presentation is called "Opportunities for Latinos to Obtain Health Insurance Under the Affordable Care Act."
Another presenter is David Copenhaver, assistant professor and director of the UC Davis Cancer Pain Program, who will address the topic, "What is Pain? A Quick Check-in."
The third major speaker is Lorena Garcia, assistant professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences and a researcher for the Latino Aging Research Resource Center, who will discuss "Obesity and Diabetes: Latinos in the United States."
The one-day event – geared toward middle-aged and older Spanish-speaking adults – is sponsored by UC Davis Health System's Alzheimer's Disease Center, Center for Health Aging, Center for Reducing Health Disparities and Clinical and Translational Science Center.
Attendance is free but reservations are required. To reserve a seat, call (916) 734-5243 or go to the UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Center's Facebook page.
The mini-school will be held at the UC Davis MIND Institute at 2825 50th St., Sacramento.

Adriaen de Vries was one of the leading late Renaissance masters of northern Europe. His heroic figures -- female as well as male -- reflect study of the antique and of Michelangelo's sculpture, with an emphasis on self-consciously complicated, twisting poses.
Adriaen devised this bronze allegory for the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who had appointed him court sculptor at Prague in 1601. Once thought simply to represent "Virtue Overcoming Vice," the bronze has recently been interpreted as a specific theme close to the Emperor's heart. The dominant female figure, crowned with laurel, symbolizes Empire. The second laurel wreath she holds high proclaims her victory over a figure with ass' ears and a bag of gold coins that identify her as Avarice (the ears and the gold come from the ancient myth of King Midas, known for his greed and bad judgment). Rudolf was fighting, none too successfully, in wars against the Turks, and also struggling with the lands he ruled that were reluctant to grant the funds he needed to continue. The bronze gives form to his wish for triumph over both adversaries. The sculptor gave psychological force to this symbolic program in the rippling tension of the torsos and in the gaze that passes between the coolly imperious victor and the distraught vanquished.

Grill Crazy
Next time you crank up the grill, kick up your outdoor cooking options with a kaleidoscope of colorful skewers. Kebabs, sticks, brochetteswhatever you call them, skewered tidbits sizzled over fire is one of the world's most beloved cooking methods. In fact, the technique is so efficient, versatile, and tasty, it dates back to early man (try as long as 300,000 years ago).
With nothing more than a few long metal or wood skewers and a hot grill, you can mix and match ingredients to create mouthwatering flavor and texture combinations. Marinades and sauces add moistness and zest, while easy accompaniments such as salad greens, toasted bread, and dipping sauces round out the offerings for a full meal.

The tooltips or popup with hover are not showing on the calendar.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this might have something to do with the TubePress plugin you have installed. Could you try disabling it temporarily, to see if it makes any difference?
I deactivated all plugins and still same issue.
I just refreshed the feed and now nothing shows in the upcoming. I want to make sure I have correct link. Using:
That feed URL looks fine.
What do you have the "Retrieve events from", "Retrieve events until" and "Maximum number of events to retrieve" options set to?
From: Now; 3600
Until: Today; 00:00
Max: 50
I changed to:
From: Beginning of Time; 3600
Until: End of Time
Max: 300
Now it is working. Thank you Ross for pointing out these fields.
An issue I have now is I want to start the calendar list as "Now"
What would I add to this argument:
[google-calendar-events id="1" type="list" max="25"]
I tried looking it up on your site however your site is currently not loading.
To do this, create a new feed in the plugin (using the same feed URL). You can set the "Retrieve events from" option for the new feed to "Now", leaving the original feed as is.
Then, use the new feed in the shortcode for the list:
[google-calendar-events id="2" type="list" max="25"]
Just fixed that. Thank you. Is there a way to display the Day as well as the date?
You can alter the "Date format" option in the plugin settings to display the day. The format characters you can use are listed here.
Thank you all resolved. Gonna post new thread on another issue

by Isaac Asimov
Foundation Theme of Violence
You know what we absolutely love? When an author spells out the theme for you in a simple, easily digestible sentence. Take Asimov's stance on violence in Foundation. Salvor Hardin says, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" (III.1.55). Boom. Done. Any character that prefers a quick, simplistic, and violent solution to a problem does not fare well in Asimov's universe. Enter characters like Hardin, who prefer to think their way to nonviolent solutions: they're the heroes of day. And we here at Shmoop find the notion very appealing.
Questions About Violence
- Who would you say is the most violent character in the novel? The least? How are the two characters similar or different? What does this comparison tell you about the nature of violence in the novel? Anything we here at Shmoop missed?
- Is there any instance where you see violence helping out a character? If so, where? How does this complicate the issue of violence in the text?
- Compare the societies of Anacreon and Foundation. What are their stances on violence? How are these societies different? Similar? What conclusions can you draw about the nature of violence and society in the novel?
Chew on This
Foundation is ultimately a novel about achieving pacifism through science and rationalism.
As the stories progress, violence becomes a more acceptable option.

Vera Has Doubts That Chavez Jr. Will Make 168 Limit
By Rick Reeno
Middleweight contender Brian Vera (23-6, 14KOs) has some doubts about Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32KOs) being capable of making the super middleweight limit of 168-pounds. The two fighters are scheduled to face each other on September 28th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Chavez's struggles to make the middleweight limit are well documented but he always manages to make the weight. The Mexican star has been inactive since last September's decision loss to Sergio Martinez, and numerous photos have surfaced over the last few weeks that showed Chavez weighing far beyond 168-pounds.
Chavez-Vera was pushed back several times, and the weight limit was increased several times.
"I don't think he'll make [168], but he's going to get penalized for it and [my team and my promoter] are going to make him lose the weight. [The weight for our fight] changed so many times already. I saw him [two weeks] ago and he looked big," Vera told BoxingScene.com.
Chavez is well known for making weight and then packing on 20-pounds or more by the time of the fight. Vera has been working with trainer Ronnie Shields to combat Chavez's mauling style when he presses his opponents against the ropes and wears them down by pushing his full weight on them.
"I have to use speed...just really stepping around him and not so much movement. He's like a robot and you have get around him. Ronnie has me doing a lot of things in the gym for that," Vera said.
"Sergio Martinez is a little guy. I once went to go spar with him for three weeks. I think I'll be the strongest [opponent] that he's fought as far as physical. As far as being physical, I think I'll be alright, but we'll have to see. "
if the bout as in MX they'd adjust the screw to give Jr however many pounds he needs...they don't even use digital scales there, a balance beam 1, brought 2the weigh in in bouncing around in the back of pickup...Comment by MDPopescu on 09-17-2013
I remember I red somewhere that Chavez Jr will fight at 172...Comment by SugarAnt05 on 09-17-2013
The thought of Vera actually stepping around is mind bogglingComment by Derranged on 09-17-2013
He should take illegal diuretics again and fight in Mexico. They'll give him a pass.Comment by TheMexHurricane on 09-17-2013

Skip to comments.Complete Disaster Non-Preparedness: DC Grocery Stores Out , Gas Unavailable, Grid-Down Heat Rages
Posted on 07/02/2012 4:43:44 PM PDT by Kartographer
Weve seen it time and again over the last decade. An emergency strikes and panic grips the city or region for days or weeks on end.
We saw a complete breakdown of emergency response and law & order during Hurricane Katrina. The 2011 Snowpocalypse on the east coast led to runs on grocery stores and empty shelves within a matter of hours. Widespread blackouts during Hurricane Ike left large sections of the Houston power grid down for up to four weeks. In all these cases gas was almost impossible to find, what was in your pantry was what you had until food distribution resumed, local water was not safe for consumption, and government response was limited to reinstating essential services first and foremost.
The bottom line, as Jesselyn Radack of the Government Accountability Project notes, is that after billions have been spent by Department of Homeland Security, FEMA and local law enforcement, we are no more prepared today than we were the day before September 11, 2011.

The following is from 'Ann' in Japan during the disaster there last year...food for thought...
"Utterly amazingly, where I am there has been no looting, no pushing in lines. People leave their front doors open, as it is safer when an earthquake strikes. People keep saying, Oh, this is how it used to be in the old days when everyone helped one another. I find food and water left in my entranceway. I have no idea from whom, but it is there. Old men in green hats go from door to door checking to see if everyone is OK.
Ann, in Japan during the March, 2011 earthquake and tsunami, from Medical News Commentaries, Finding Beauty When All the Lights Go Out, Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, newsletter@ magnesiumforlife.com
I responded with an example in post #65 this thread. Also other FReepers sent you examples in this same thread. It appears that not only are you too lazy to do your own research you are to lazy to read the responses to your questions.
First I'll begin with every post you have directed toward me.
At least a half dozen show up belittling preppers or making fun of them.
Consider this: maybe you are wound a bit too tight. Are you sending these folks profanity laced freepmails like you've sent me? Hmmmm?
First Ill begin with every post you have directed toward me.
I am your example? A guy asking questions?
Got it. You can't produce anything.
Here's something to consider: maybe you, and your Freepmail foul mouthed friends, have attitudes that attract negativity.
ping for later read. good points to consider.

I would like to link to other sites and a couple of current subdomains. How can I edit this theme to do what I would like? Is it even possible?

I went to return it, and the guy told me to come back tomorrow the next day because he didn't sell it to me. I told him to check it, because he sould see that didn't work, I even said I had a receipt, he still wouldn't exchange it at that time. I had to talk and plead with him for something I had just bought the night before. I asked could I get a different one and he said he can't give me any money back so I have to speak with the guy who sold it to me because he's not the owner.
I pleaded with him for a while until he atleast gave me another one of the same kind. I took it home and its broken also, the buttons are very cheap and I paid 59.99 plus tax, this is very upsetting and they have fake Ipods in there. Kids will think they are real and they run for about 29.99-about 49.99, thats how I found out about them in general. We have to protect our kids because they are ripping people off there. They are even selling fake coach purses and Gucci bags also. My little cousin believes they are real. This has to stop immediately.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your great plugin.
I've successfully integrated the plugin into a child theme but I'm having trouble styling it with CSS?
The CSS selectors found using Chromes inspector do not work when using the plugin built Custom CSS or when I use the My Custom CSS plugin?
Example: I'm trying to remove the container background colour by using:
.resume-wrap flat {
Also the resume bio info is being position under the bio image and not to the right-hand side as it should be?
But this doesn't work am I missing something here?

My question is this. When a company buys a junk debt can they legally come after the debtor for the full amount or only seek to get back what they paid to purchase the debt plus the usual interest and late fee's etc?

If you are looking for a yoga class focused on cancer survivors, go to the Christina Phipps Foundation website to review all the free yoga classes for cancer patients in Florida and Georgia. I currently serve as Executive Director of the Tallahassee based foundation. At this time I am working with our 130+ certified yoga teachers and medical organizations providing these special yoga classes. My first CPF classes had only breast cancer patients, but that changed quickly, as people with other cancers joined the class. As part of my work with the foundation I can meet with your organization if you are committed to offering these classes in your health facility.
Yoga teachers interested in becoming a CPF certified yoga teacher can apply for the next training at the CPF website.

Three Big Myths About Dating Plus-Sized Women
By ashleighDJ on April 12, 2013
BlogHer Original Post
Editor's Note: I've been plus-size my entire adult life. I've been as large as 406lbs and as "small" as my current 220. I have experienced the gamut of plus-size dating trials and successes. The assumptions about larger women are moslty made because society has yet to embrace the beauty of ALL women. Guess what? There's more to us than the myths.-- Feminista Jones
I was born 10 lbs. 4 oz. and 22.5 inches long. The only girl born in the hospital that day, you could say I was destined to be the big girl in the room. I'm what some might call a plus-size veteran. Nearly every day, I'm reminded by media, society, or my mirror about my weight and how it affects my dating life. Most smaller folks would love to throw pennies of pity into my proverbial empty Styrofoam cup, but I'd like to tell them this: I don't need your change.
Image: Toby alter via Flickr
As a lifelong big girl (so far), I'd like to debunk a few myths about plus size women and our dating lives.
Myth #1. Plus size women are desperate for dates.
Here's the thing. Just because I wear a size 22 doesn't mean every random man has a shot with me. There is a belief that those who are deemed unattractive in society (this includes being big) have no right to have standards.
When I walk into a room with my head held high, eyes from people of every gender quizzically scan my body as if to ask, "How dare she be confident?". At times I feel like I'm forced to display my sparkling personality faster because I'm overcompensating for the fact that they expect me not to love myself.
Confidence is important for any woman to have, big or small. I was fortunate enough to be raised to love myself, but confidence is like a muscle; if you don't use it, it will deteriorate. The ability to remain secure with yourself can require constant effort from anyone.
Myth #2. Plus size women are lonely & sexless.
I've been dating since I was 15 and I have barely been single since. The only reason I'm single now is because I haven't chosen anyone to be with. This doesn't mean there haven't been any offers. Men do approach me a lot. Big girls are having sex. Lots of sex. Just know that. Quiet as its kept, some plus sized women have more going on in that department than their smaller friends.
I will admit there is a population of men who deliberately go after big girls believing that we are easy prey. But this isn't about their sorry asses. There are just as many superficial jerks chasing after slim women.
May I add that mature men (read 40+ years old) are an untapped resource for plus sized women? Just saying...
3. Plus size women eat all the time & that's why they're fat.
I despise when people patronizingly offer me food, especially sweets (I'm not a sweets eater at all). In dating situations, guys may ask if I want something to eat. I say no. The rattle off a litany of sweet, sugary treats like a rude auctioneer, waiting for me to bid on something fattening. As a last ditch effort they go, "Are you SURE you don't want anything to eat?"
It makes me want to punch them in the throat.
No, I don't want anything to eat! I'm fine. I don't sit around gobbling everything I see. Plus I don't drink pop (soda for you non-Midwesterners), so people look at me, their eyes asking "Well if you don't eat candy, cake, cookies, pies, and tarts, why are you fat?" My answer to them is twofold: screw you and why are you still offering me food to try to make me fatter?
There's no way for me to tackle the perils and pluses of plus size dating in one fell swoop, but I'd love to hear some of the myths/limiting beliefs you hear and deal with daily.

Phobos VT
11,298pages on
this wiki
this wiki
The Phobos VT is a sports car exclusive to Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The Phobos VT resembles a Third generation Chevrolet Corvette. It has a unique front spoiler, and may appear in either a one-color or two-color (body and bumpers) color scheme. The exhaust tubes are located on the sides and it will spawn with a black roof or in a convertible form.
The car is wanted by Love Media for their Car-azy Car Give Away.
The car has the highest top speed and best acceleration in the game. It also is the most agile of all the sports cars in terms of handling, although it fishtails during turns. The car also has an excessive torque, which makes acceleration without burnouts impossible.
Image Gallery
- Spawns in an empty space west of the Shoreside Vale safehouse in Cedar Grove.
- Mostly seen in Shoreside Vale.
- Appears very rarely in Staunton Island.
- Together with the Deimos SP, its name is most likely derived from one of the two moons of the planet Mars, namely Phobos.
- The engine and horn is shared with the Banshee.

Venice is my home town; in 1979 I was born in this magical city and I still find it as one of the most attractive cities in Italy. A few years later I moved to Rome where I grew up and attended University. It was at that time that I discovered the world of photography, it was thanks to an exhibition of Magnum Agency photographers. It was love at first sight.
My passion for traveling has pushed me to get into the world of reportage and in 2004 I got a Master in Photojournalism. Since then I have started publishing with the most important Italian newspapers and week magazines. Read More...
