Corporate Advocacy Program™
On January 2, 2013 we had to cancel the move due to a change in our circumstances and we requested a refund of our deposit. The verbiage on our contract stated that we are entitled to a full refund if cancelation was made at least 5 business days prior to the move. Not only was the Jason (the person we spoke with at that time) extremely rude, but he basically told us that we would only receive a refund of $150. At this point, we contacted an attorney for advise and were advised to file a BBB report, a complaint with the NJ Attorney General's office, and anyone else that would listen.
We filed the report and received notification from the BBB that Superjet Van Lines was contacted regarding our complaint. Within hours we were called by Superjet stating that we acted pre-maturely and our money will be returned to us as stated in their contract, but that they couldn't talk to us because we said we were contacting an attorney. The person who identified themselves as the owner stated that the check was already sent out, but then said that he wouldn't send out the check to us until we remove our complaints. One week later, we have not received our deposit back and are in the process of filing a law suit.
It is my belief that the company is very comfortable telling people they will refund their money if they remove all complaints from websites, etc. This may be why you are unable to find negative reviews of superjet! I refuse to move any complaints unless ordered to do so by a judge. This is still a free country and I am free to express my dissatisfaction with a company that has shoddy business practices. I would not trust these lying scoundrels with a penny of my money!

Two new cases of H7N9 bird flu were reported in China in October. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the University's Vaccine Research Unit is testing a new vaccine candidate in case H7N9 makes its way to the U.S.
As part of the National Institutes of Health's Centers of Excellence in Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS), URMC scientists John Treanor, M.D., and David Topham, Ph.D., join their peers in calling for more advanced research on the H7N9 bird flu virus that appeared in China earlier this year. In this video, they describe this research and why it's important.

The World After Trump
Donald Trump in the Bayou
By James Mann $18.45
By Mason Currey $16.96
The police force in England's Nottinghamshire County came to the decision after meeting with women's rights activists.
"[T]he standard group of hateful polemicists who literally seem to devote their lives to exploiting every news event to attack Islam wasted no time [Sunday]—before any facts were known, while the bodies were literally still in the club—squeezing the horrific slaughter in Orlando to depict Muslims as uniquely hateful of LGBTs," writes Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept.
After the presence of police frightened the gang away, 16-year-old Dayshen McKenzie collapsed in the Staten Island heat in what may have been an asthma attack.
Despite conservative backlash against same-sex weddings in 2015, ministers who support them can now fully practice their religions. Meanwhile, hateful rhetoric from Donald Trump and others means patriotic and law-abiding Muslims face a rising tide of hate crimes.
The threefold rise in hate crimes against Muslims since the Paris and San Bernardino attacks and the acceptance of hate speech in political discourse are signs of our society's morbidity.
"What troubles me is not so much these attacks, but the community's responses to these attacks," says the Rev. Rodrick Burton, pastor of a Baptist church that was attacked by an arsonist in early October.
In an interview from his hospital bed, an Israeli Jew stabbed by a Jewish man who believed he was an Arab condemned a recent string of suspected vigilante attacks in Israel.
The suspect in the killing of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury on dozens of charges, some of which carry the death penalty.
As of Tuesday, legal repercussions have multiplied for Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old man accused of killing nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., on June 17.
Choosing a fitting communication platform to underscore his Silicon Valley background, Flickr-cofounder-turned-Slack-CEO Stewart Butterfield excoriated The Wall Street Journal editorial staff in a series of tweets Sunday evening.
Even if Dylann Roof, the man arrested in the church massacre in South Carolina, acted alone, he is not alone in his hateful views. And it is up to white Americans to defeat the poison of racism in this country.
Bob Englehart, Hartford Courant, Cagle Cartoons
UPDATE: The coroner has identified all nine people killed Wednesday night by a white gunman who opened fire during a prayer meeting at a black church in South Carolina. Meanwhile, Dylann Roof, 21, has been arrested on suspicion of killing state Sen. Clementa Pinckney and eight others.
If American mass media seemed reluctant to cover the murder of three Muslim students at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill as a hate crime, the same was not true in the Middle East, where strong opinions were aroused.
People who knew the man accused of gunning down three Muslim American students in North Carolina—an act many suspect to be a hate crime motivated by cultural differences—describe him as angry and lacking compassion.
It is a kind of a stupid question, but its stupidity is just more apparent when asked of someone with an English last name.
The rage and nihilism that come from the frustrations of American life are expressed through violence. Our armed vigilantes and renegade gunmen are symptoms of a nation in terminal decline. To resist, we must build a revolutionary consciousness. Without one, random murder will become our national sport.
Authorities say a 31-year-old woman who is accused of pushing a man off a subway platform into the way of a train in Queens last week did so because of his religion. Erika Menendez was arrested Saturday and charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime in the death of Sunando Sen.

We really don't want to be flip or culturally insensitive, but any story that opens with the phrase "renegade Amish group" immediately grabs our full attention. And that's just for starters—the leader of this outlaw gang of Amish hair-cutting bandits goes by the highly pertinent name of Sam Mullet.

Depending on how you see it, a Dutch court's acquittal Thursday of controversial politician Geert Wilders is an instance of hate speech gone unpunished or, as Wilders himself put it, "a victory for freedom of expression in the Netherlands."

The evil side of America is on display in the form of a media-fueled Islamophobia that recalls some of the worst bigotry in the nation's past. This is not what we hoped for in the days after Sept. 11, 2001, or the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.

Whipping up anti-Muslim sentiment seems to be a favorite pastime of certain practitioners of the art of punditry, particularly but not exclusively on the far right lately—but it carries some very real consequences, and not just the kind that make headlines.
Upon first glance, the FBI's news that hate crimes based on sexual orientation were up 11 percent in 2008 from the previous year suggests a giant uptick in violence against America's LGBTQ population. However, as Andrew Sullivan and Mark Thompson remind us ... (continued)

The first major federal civil rights law protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, passed last week, was attached to a measure funding ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
President Barack Obama represents the final stop for a measure, passed by the Senate on Thursday, that would expand the definition of hate crimes to include "those committed because of a victim's gender or gender identity, sexual orientation or disability," as The New York Times put it. Obama is expected to approve the legislation.
The House has voted to strengthen the definition of hate crimes to include those carried out on the basis of a person's sexual orientation, marking a step toward protecting gay, lesbian and transgender people under the federal statute. The bill still needs to go through the Senate and be signed by President Obama.
AP / Ariel Schalit
A black-clad gunman opened fire Saturday in what was described in earlier accounts as a gay and lesbian nightclub in Tel Aviv but which the BBC reported is "the headquarters of the local lesbian and gay rights association," killing three people and wounding eight others before fleeing.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, also known as the Matthew Shepard Act, on Wednesday. Similar but weaker legislation had failed two years ago in the face of opposition from President Bush. Before Wednesday's vote, Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx created a stir by taking issue with the bill's name, claiming Shepard's murder in 1998 didn't constitute a hate crime.
Jim David Adkisson, the suspect in Sunday's deadly shooting in a Unitarian Universalist church in Knoxville, Tenn., left a note expressing his hatred for "what he perceived to be the liberals in our country," according to Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen, who said the incident was being treated as a hate crime.
Russian authorities have arrested a student for allegedly posting a video of the apparent execution of two men by a neo-Nazi group, although authorities still don't know who recorded the video or carried out the attack.
Russian authorities are investigating a gruesome online video which shows the apparent execution of two men by a group calling itself "National Socialists of Rus." According to the BBC, Russia has experienced a rise in ethnic violence over the last few years.

|Head Coach
|14th at MIT
|Previous College:
|Vermont '85
After 13 seasons as the head coach, Andy Barlow has elevated the MIT baseball program to one of the best in the NEWMAC and the New England region. In 2016 he led the Engineers to their second ECAC championship and their 12th winning season in his 13 years at the helm. Barlow has seen his MIT teams reach 20 wins nine times, including a school record 29 victories in 2015. A four-time NEWMAC Coach of the Year, his 2015 team reached the regional finals at the NCAA Tournament.
With over 20 years of dugout experience, Barlow made the move to Cambridge from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where he served for nine seasons as Vassar College's Head Baseball Coach. During his time with the Brewers, Barlow saw the program improve every season, culminating in a school record 19-win season in 2002.
After initiating a feeder system in Maine through the development of a youth clinic, Barlow extended his professional repertoire in 1988 to include the college scene, when he assumed duties as an assistant baseball coach at the University of Maryland. In 1991, Barlow made the switch to Hamilton, N.Y., specializing in the training of the pitching staff at Colgate University. Barlow stayed with the Red Raiders until inheriting the Vassar program in 1995, opting for the head coaching tag of a team that was just three years removed from club status.
A 1985 graduate of the University of Vermont, Barlow's breadth of experience also includes time spent coaching in some of the top collegiate summer leagues in the country. Barlow is a longtime member of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and is also an active member of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA).
|Assistant Coach
|7th at MIT
|Previous College:
|UMass Boston
Todd Carroll was named the MIT pitching coach in January of 2010. No stranger to northeast baseball, he had previously been an assistant coach at UMass-Boston, Salem Community College and Harvard University. At UMass-Boston, Carroll helped the Beacons to their first winning record in school history in 2002. At Salem, both of Carroll's pitching staffs finished the year with earned run averages under four and in 2007, Harvard's pitching staff led the Ivy League by nearly a full run. At MIT his pitching staffs have consistently ranked among the best in Division III; in 2013-14 the Engineers finished among the top-20 in ERA, strikeout-to-walk ratio, WHIP and walks allowed per nine innings.
Carroll has also gained experience through summer baseball, coaching in three of the most prestigious leagues in the country. From 2002-2005 he was the pitching coach of the Mill City All Americans of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, working under current MIT assistant coach Chip Forrest. In 2007, Carroll served as an assistant coach with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and in 2008, he served as the Head Coach of the Bennington Bombers of the New York Collegiate League. Carroll has also spent a year as an associate scout with the Major League Baseball scouting bureau. A noted clinic instructor, Carroll has worked clinics at Boston College, Harvard and the University of Arizona, amongst others. Sixty three of Carroll's former players have signed professional contracts.
|Assistant Coach
|2nd at MIT
|Previous College:
|Brandeis University '09
Nick Galagher joined the MIT staff in 2015, bringing seven years of collegiate coaching and playing experience to his position with the Engineers.
Gallagher spent three years (2009-12) as an assistant coach at Brandeis University where he was involved in all aspects of the Judges' program, including recruiting and on-field coaching duties. He also spent two years as a "bird dog" scout for the Oakland Athletics, identifying potential professional players in the Northeast from both the high school and collegiate ranks.
A 2009 graduate of Brandeis with a BA in psychology, Gallagher was a four-year member of the Judges' baseball team, earning both all-conference and all-conference academic honors.
|Assistant Coach
|2nd at MIT
|Previous College:
|Husson University '10
Chris Morris became a part of the MIT baseball coaching staff starting with the 2015 season.
Morris spent two years prior to joining the MIT staff as an assistant baseball and football coach at Husson University, his alma mater. With the baseball team he was in charge of pitcher development and strength and conditioning work. He has also served as a pitching coach with the Sanford Mainers in the New England Collegiate summer league and was the head coach and general manager of the American Legion team in Brewer, Maine (2009-12), winning back-to-back Zone 1 Championships in 2010 and 2011.
A 2010 graduate of Husson, he was a four-year letterwinner and a team captain with the baseball squad. He also lettered twice in football for the Eagles. Morris earned an M.Ed. from Endicott College in 2014.

there is something that dont fix. The target of this ads are for WOMEN, but the ads appeling is for men that like porn, so, is inefective, its not clever at all
I agree. It's pretty weird that they're targeting the wrong demographic. Also, I think this idea is kinda clever, but it seems to me that the strategy was discarded for something along the lines of, "Hey, let's show some girls' bums to get people's attention." A great example of creative going off-strategy...or leaning on sex as a crutch to sell a product that you can say a lot about.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
What they're doing as they consider themselves a Christian based campus, is very hypocritical. They award students financial aid and then they turn around telling a student that they don't qualify for the amounts after they've been awarded.
Once students have been sent the checks and used the funds, they automatically send the funds back making a balance due to the school. After seeing this happen to in so many cases, I never thought it would happen to me.
Come to find out, they took my last paycheck to pay toward a balance because I owed through them sending my financial aid back.
This school is ripping people off and getting away with it left and right. It's a shame they cover it up by stating they're a Christian University. They're headed by money making mongrels just like any other business out there trying to be as profitable as they can be.
People of a religious background going to this school need to wake up and realize who they're really conducting business with.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 137 reviews
I liked this Hotel, stayed several times, but the last time was the last time ever. Check in went ok, went to my room for a little rest, no rest this day, the people in the next room had at least 5 children and 4 adults, the children spent most of the day running up and down the hall screaming at their mother standing in the hall screaming on her cell phone. I politely asked her are these her children and her answer was "yes you have a problem" I don't confront people in public places, so I went into my room, at about 6:00pm it started, the stereo the yelling, the banging on the walls, I went to the desk and asked who was staying next to me? The girl said oh dear I know who that is they had to moved from the 4th floor, I will call the room and ask them to quiet down, it never quieted down, at 11:00pm I went to the desk again said I needed to get some sleep, clerk said she was sorry, nothing she could do but give me a reduced rate..wow..so the noise went on all night, at check out I again told the desk clerk..she said she will comp the room, well it never was competed or reduced, not looking for a free night, but a quiet room, very unprofessional desk clerk..Will not stay again.
We stayed for 2 nights after 1.5 weeks in the Tetons and Yellowstone. A very pleasant surprise!!! Great room that was well thought out with the amenities you would need for a night or a week! All hotel workers were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic! I would highly recommend this hotel for a night or a week or longer.
It was nice but a little noisy! Didn't enjoy some of the loud pets. But overall an ok stay.
Was a great place, would definitely stay again. The breakfast staff could be a little more friendly and approachable.
Hotel's red system different than our confirmation---fortunately I had everything digital on my iPhone. Waited 2 hours for the correct room. Then A/C was nonfunctional---moved us into another room. For a Hilton chain very surprised by permitting children to run throughout hotel soaking wet from swimming pool. Floors slippery from being wet and furniture in lobby soaked. This is not run to Hilton standards.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Artist: Kid Cudi
Release Date: 2008
After linking with Kanye West's A&R, Plain Pat, to release the 10.Deep sponsored mixtape A Kid Named Cudi, the Cleveland native went from being just another NYC transplant with a dream to West's musical muse. The tape, an instant classic, produced the radio hit, "Day 'n' Nite," which reached the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop song charts and would later resurface on his debut album Man on the Moon: The End of Day, the following year. By constantly challenging the parameters of hip-hop with his genre-bending aesthetic, Cudi has always existed in an intangible creative space just outside of rap. Cudi's brutal honesty, transparency, and unique cadence, which rivals anything ever heard in hip-hop, is never more clear than on this essential project.

How to shield your girls from this?
Wendy Tuohy
–, Thursday, March, 06, 2014, (12:11pm)
Chat and share with me on Twitter here or come over and join the community at the new The Perch Facebook page here
A FACEBOOK friend recntly noted the following conversation he heard on a suburban railway platform:
Schoolgirl 1: "How are you so thin?"
Schoolgirl 2: "I don't eat breakfast."
Schoolgirl 1: "I'd get hungry!"
Schoolgirl 2: "If you have a smoke when you leave home and at the station, you'll get used to it."
Another friend mentioned, with some sadness, a conversation a mother-friend had with her early primary school-aged daughter:
Mother: "Oh, there's still food in your lunchbox, you haven't eaten it all, are you feeling ill?"
Girl: "No, I just don't want to eat too much food."
Mother: "Why?"
Girl: "Because eating too much food makes you fat".
Yesterday we read about the latest trend embraced by "young fashionistas" – known as "Bambi legs". The idea is you get so thin your legs look as fragile and bony as Disney's baby fawn's.
According to the magazines, Bambi legs is even more extreme a slimming trend than "thigh gap" (otherwise known as "box gap"), where you lose enough to get a space all the way up from your knees to your crotch when standing feet together. So 2013, apparently. Now your whole legs should look too frail to hold up your weight.
This comes hot on the heels of the other trend sweeping women's social media in 2014, the "bikini bridge". This involves getting so thin your pelvis bones protrude when you're lying on your back and your bikini bottom is suspended between the bony outcrops (see above).
One way to achieve all this would be to follow the extreme diet being spruiked today by the publicity-addicted "Human Barbie", Ukranian model Valeria Lukyanova. She hit front pages of websites around the globe for spruiking the so-called 'breatharian' diet.
Some breatharians have died while on this cult regimen that involves living only on air, light and water to achieve "eternal beauty". Lukyanova tweets her weight, 46.2kg, with rear-facing—yes Bambi-legsish—photos (above) as proof of its merit.
As extreme weight-loss trends like these have spewed across the net in recent years, pressure from consumers and health lobby groups has encouraged some fashion editors to throw their might behind the "healthy body" movement.
The odd "real women" or "plus-sized model" edition has made a splash, but taking in all of the above you really wonder how much any of these novelties has helped to counter the extreme-thinness ideal.
When the world's most celebrated brand, Chanel, launched its Fall-Winter collection with an ultra-glam, supermarket-themed parade in Paris (where the main item for sale on the elbaorate set appeared to be bottles of coloured water) this week, it was still not Karl Lagerfeld's designs that grabbed the big publicity, but the "microscopic" waist of one of the stars of its advertisements, actress Keira Knightley. Its tininess was striking.
Many of the models putting pretty water in their designer "trolleys" in the parade were even tinier.
So how are parents hoping to raise healthy kids through adolescence, as they grow up in the most online-soaked generation yet, to protect their developing identities from the proliferation of starving-is-good messages in imagery, online and on the haute couture catwalks?
"More education," is the solution suggested by the Butterfly Foundation's national head of communications, Sarah Spence. She is encouraged by the many media and fashion influencers who have embraced healthy body-weight campaigns.
Still, more than 913,000 Australians needed hospital treatment for eating disorders in 2012, and numbers of suffers have not reduced since. In fact, bulking out the traditional eating-disorder demographic—girls—more boys and young men are now presenting for treatment with disordered-eating illnesses.
"We are quite alarmed by extreme thinness and extreme dieting practices which are still very much upheld as the perfect body type in our society," says Sarah Spence. "There are many groups in the media trying to dispel myths around what is seen as the perfect body type and introduce better reporting, and knowledge, which we applaud."
She concedes that while mainstream media is increasingly promoting the 'healthy body' line, the job of counteracting "thinspiration" or Thinspo messages on blogs, websites and social media is vast.
Parents struggling to shield kids like my little 10 year-old, for whom weight is not an issue but whose radar weight-talk has well and truly crossed, face an intimidating battle. We can't do it on our own.
Token gestures, or one-off campaigns from style makers aside, you can't but get the feeling when it comes to really counteracting the toxic ideals behind the 'Bambi legs' and "box gaps" the industry that thrives off our desperation to be "beautiful" doesn't walk the talk.

"Bambi legs' and "box gaps". All these euphemisms about how a skinny Sheila looks. Us lads have a few too. Like shagging a duffel bag full of spanners, one good fart to take off,walking talking string bean. Are these idiots trying to make African refugees feel better about themselves? Give me a good groping ass any day

Thanks for the laugh Gandalf
OMG Wendy, this is scary stuff.
I know that it's not easy but could it be the mixed messages being sent out to girls? TV commercials and magazines tell us that sunbathing can be/is deadly but only bronzed women are shown - and thin, "perfectly" shaped ones at that. During heat waves how many times have cameramen taken pictures of "ordinary" women: untanned and anything but "goddess-like"?
We are always reminded that size does not matter yet any woman over a size 10-12 is considered obese. Where is the consistency in clothes sizes? Anyone in a size 14 is made to feel fat and worthless (yet Marilyn Monroe was a size 16 and is still a sex-symbol more than 50 years after her death. The irony is that a size 16 then would be equivalent to a size 18-20 today).
Perhaps if the Media (social and otherwise) didn't bombard society with images of these stick figures and focused on healthy bodies - and minds - instead our children wouldn't be so confused. If it were illegal to alter and photoshop images they wouldn't believe their capillaries, pores and follicles to be unnatural. I am disgusted with TV ads where every woman has so much grease paint and has been so photoshopped that she looks like a plastic doll that would be more at home in Madame Toussaud's museum, ie: the woman in the steradent adhesive and the home brands ads.
If everyone were really worried about our children they would do something about the double standards sent out. But then think of the mega bucks they'd all be missing out on?
Fri 07 Mar 14 (11:21am)
Fri 07 Mar 14 (01:39pm)
Actually Marilyn Monroe's size 16 is US sizing equivalent to a size 12.
Fri 07 Mar 14 (02:54pm)
Hi Virgo, I think you'll find that in the 1950s a size 12 was not the same tiny one it is in 2014. There is no way MM would have fit those thunder thighs and derrière in an Aussie size 12. The UK size 12 is also so generous that in Australia it would only be found in the "larger" section of a clothes shop. Australia has retained the size numbers but keeps cutting the fabric to create more shrinking items from each bolt.
Mon 14 Jul 14 (08:09pm)
According to her dressmaker, MM measurements were 36 inch bust, 22 inch waist, 34 inch hips. Her waist measurement is a size 6-8 Australian. Not a size 16! She was 5feet 6 inches tall and averaged 54-57 kg. She was a lot lighter at the time of her death. I am the same height wand weigh the same. Have never been a size 16. This information is easy to research. Stop saying Marilyn Monroe was a size 16! She wasn't!
I hear what you are saying. A couple of short years ago while coaching junior girls sport, I had a 15 year old who was battling anorexia and her team mates would all comment they wanted to be skinny like her. Broke my heart hearing such things as these were all beautiful young girls with the world at their feet and their biggest concerns are getting browner and skinnier.
Over my many years of coaching I have come across a handful of such young girls with this issue. There has been no link to it beside that it is what the media shove in front of them all the time.
It is just really sad
Fri 07 Mar 14 (11:54am)
Agree Jason, I started out reading yr comment thinking it would end with 'all her friends rallied to convince her she was beautiful as she is', not 'they wanted to be like her'. No wonder its referred to as an eating disorder epidemic. Great to hear people coaching girls are onto it.

My four year old daughter looked down when getting dressed the other morning, sighed and said "I really need to lose weight, if I get fat I'll have no friends" I just about burst into tears ... I'm a healthy weight and so is she. She certainly hasn't been exposed to that sort of crap at home, and when I talked to her about it it turns out its a friend at kindy (kindy for god sake!) whose been telling her that. So sad ....
Fri 07 Mar 14 (01:02pm)
She's not alone! And I believe you that she didn't get that from home. My daughter is 10 and very fit, yet I've seen her pinch her stomach flesh wondering if she's 'fat'. She is built like a pencil! It really really worries me. Especially concerning to hear this kind of self-criticism has seeped down to kinder years. Thanks for sharing.

I don't have children but I think we all need to be working towards erasing the stigma against fatness - no wonder people fear getting fat when fat people are used as the butts of jokes in shows and movies and rarely shown having satisfying relationships or being sexually desirable, and are widely characterised as lazy or greedy. When no one bats an eyelid at people making fat jokes or commenting about other people's diet choices. When armless chairs and large blood pressure cuffs aren't standard at doctors offices. When news outlets run stories promoting a man blogging "hilariously" about sitting next to a fat man on a plane and likening him to an animal. When plane seats are getting smaller and smaller. When we are taught to assume that you can judge someone's health by their weight. When people believe other people's health is their business anyway. When The Biggest Loser promotes weight loss as being more important than health, and humiliation as what fat people deserve until they stop being fat. We are living in a body-negative, fat-negative culture, we need to work on changing that if we want our children to stop being afraid of being fat.
Fri 07 Mar 14 (02:28pm)
Shelley agree fat stigma is a major problem. And I agree Biggest Loser isn't helpful—dumping a truck load of raw lard on people like the show did in Arrarat really was awful. Beating up on people for their shape is never going to help.

The fact most young girls worry about the perfect figure, as long you are not duly overweight you will find the right person, it is the heart that counts not the figure.
Fri 07 Mar 14 (02:34pm)
Lovely sentiment Graham.

As long as women continue to buy clothes from designers who's "ideal" human form is, er, something "other than female" then they'll continue to try to be women, dressing like young girls, in clothes designed by men who like young boys. Apologies if this offends you as much as these pictures offended me. Give me a real woman every day and twice on a Sunday morning after I've served her breakfast in bed.
Fri 07 Mar 14 (05:37pm)
I'm not even slightly offended by this comment MM, I agree much of women's on-trend fashion is designed with what seems to be an adolescent boy's shape in mind. Have you considered changing your handle to Sane Man?

Mad Man makes a good point, a photograph of Sophia Loren will quickly reveal this truth. We began conversations with our kids early starting with subtle simple messages , its a process that takes their whole childhood. Bambi Girls are the Vapid Minority of an advertsing and marketing world devoid of measurable IQ, sadly quite a few follow this. Many more girls dont ,look around, but maybe they came out of homes and places where facebook likes and a few seconds of notoriety dont matter. I dont like the trend but I am more concerned with how my own kids end up now. Fortunately they are developing their own minds among all the peer pressures, know that healthy is neither overly fat or thin and have a growing contempt for the real meaning and intent behind advertising generally and that is healthy.

Wow they look so happy NOT
Poor sad things
Don't worry it will be over soon
Sat 08 Mar 14 (09:34pm)
Who came up with the bullshyte spin that this is an eating disorder? It's not. It's a symptom of a media disorder.
Sun 09 Mar 14 (02:01pm)
Coming in late here but..
Please don't assume that just because someone has slender legs that she "must" be following the latest trends.
I buy and wear size 14. I have what used to be known as (and may still be for all I know) an "apple" figure - slim legs and arms and thicker through the torso. I am also shorter than usual between shoulders and hips so don't really have a waist (there is about a 6 inch gap between my ribs and pelvis, not enough length for a defined female-looking waist to show). However.. were you to look at me you may consider that I also have these so-called Bambi legs. How is that you ask? My paternal genetics bequeathed to me slender bones, meaning skinny wrists and ankles, narrow feet, and slim legs and arms. Leggings to fit my backside/waistline are loose around my ankles, and I can wear slim or skinny fit jeans with room to spare in the leg department. On the other hand, crop pants or shorts that fit my waist automatically assume that I have thunder thighs and lumpy legs so the leg fabric is increased accordingly. Tell you what, it looks pretty stupid having my two thin little sticks of legs poking out below these wide wide pants! Neither is it always easy to find a slimmer cut, sometimes there is something out there that I'm comfortable wearing, but generally there isn't so I tend to keep wearing my preferred fit till it falls apart.
Wed 12 Mar 14 (05:51pm)
Ohh pleeeeaaaseeee!! Some women are thin - some women are not, some women are naturally and effortlessly hot - and some women will never be good looking no matter how much they try…
It's just life… Play to your skills…
If you feel fat, you probably are - so either do something about it or shut up.. DON'T hate on other women just because they happen to be hot..
...oh and don't create this false reality that being beautiful is dangerous - If a girl can get herself a 'bikini bridge' or 'Bambi legs' then good-luck-to-her, don't think because she exists and you can't look like her - then the whole world must be against you.. What a strange perception of life you people have!
Fri 26 Sep 14 (03:33pm)
I agree that eating disorders are terrible but at the same time I get really annoyed when people straightaway assume thin girls have an eating disorder.
Most of the time thin girls are just built that way. How do I know? I have worked with models, backstage. Yes, they are slender t certainly not anorexic. They were helping themselves to complementary wine (which, ai'm sure they knew, is full of calories) while their makeup was put on. When they were dressing, I noticed a few even had cellulite.
Yes, there are several celebrities who have eating disorders but among models it is rarer. They're being paid to look good and if their skin is dull and their hair thin from an eating disorder they just won't get hired.
Don't put all slender women in the same box, for goodness sake! Before you ask, I'm an Australian size 14.

I see this in the cron log:

Does this mean that the plugin will search ONLY for mysite.com?id=1 and not for mysite.com/postone.html?
Is this plugin working with permalinks?
Is it working at all?
I could not make it work as of now..
Please help!

I personally had issues with receiving aid but the staff is incredibly helpful.
Not a lot of financial aid (other than loans) for graduate students, not the school's fault I realize that. But a graduate scholarship program would be nice even 500 bucks or so would be a start to help with books etc.
I haven't received any help from the finical aid office. The one time I went in there to ask if I applied for a scholarship the women pulled up my file and LAUGHED at me while I was sitting right next to her as she responded "no".
It's great if you're einstein, rich, or completely broke, ward of the state, but otherwise you're not going to get much help if any. You'll be about $120,000 in debt by your 4th year. enjoy.
I got all the money i needed

2012 Olympics tickets scandal figure expelled from Ukraine's National Olympic Committee
A relevant decision was taken at an extraordinary meeting of the General Assembly of the National Olympic Committee on Friday.
In addition, the meeting condemned Heraschenko's behavior, saying that he "was guilty of unethical conduct and violated fundamental Olympic principles, as defined in the preamble to the Olympic Charter."
In turn, President of the National Olympic Committee Serhiy Bubka said that the International Olympic Committee was also investigating this incident.
Earlier, the media carried a story claiming that Heraschenko had a meeting at a London hotel with a reporter who was posing as a ticket scalper, and told the journalist that his duties included distributing tickets among Ukrainian fans, coaches and officials, but that he needed to stash about 100 tickets away for sale on the black market.
Heraschenko denied later that he had ever had any plans to sell tickets in Britain.
In late May, Heraschenko resigned from the position of secretary general at the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine.
On June 20 the commission investigating the incident said that Heraschenko had had no right to discuss the sale of tickets to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and that he was drunk during the conversation.

Building A Home: Volunteers Rally for Polk City Family in Need
Published: Thursday, April 17, 2014 at 9:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 17, 2014 at 9:53 p.m.
POLK CITY | More than 20 volunteers gathered Thursday morning with a com mon purpose: helping a family in need.
For the past decade, a caved-in roof and mold have made living conditions dangerous for Ina Moran, 78, and her 14-year-old adopted daughter, Destiny.
On Thursday, the volunteers broke ground to build a mortgage-free home for them.
"I'm just so very grateful," Moran said. "All these people are helping for no reason other than the kindness of their heart."
So far, more than 60 people have sacrificed their time and donated money to gather most of the materials needed to build the house at no cost to the family. Other items, including windows, are still needed.
Ask the volunteers why and they respond, "It's the right thing to do."
"What if love was more than just a word, and it took on flesh and blood?" asked Tim Williams, owner of S&W Supply and a member of Christ Community Church in Winter Haven.
"We have perfect strangers coming together, sacrificing their talents and money, with no expectation of anything in return; that action is love, and it's proof that it's something beyond all of us," Williams said.
In March, the Moran home on North Commonwealth Avenue in Polk City was demolished. All that remains is a pile of dirt and the beginnings of a foundation.
Stem walls, which are support structures for the foundation, were set in place, and volunteers spent Thursday filling the foundation with sand and base materials.
"Some people don't understand," said Mark Hulbert, president and general contractor with Hulbert Homes. "What really matters is relationships and people; I find great joy in helping this family."
It started in November when Williams saw the family's living conditions.
"I knew it wasn't right," he said. "So I had all of us stand in a circle and pray for God to do something for this family and their home."
Not long after, Williams said, all the right pieces fell into place to make this dream become a reality.
The initial goal was just to rebuild the roof.
After inspecting the structure, however, Hulbert said the house's deterioration over the years had made it nearly impossible to replace the roof, let alone restore any kind of safety.
The best thing to do was completely rebuild, and that's when Polk City 3:4 Project began.
The idea is based on Hebrews 3:4, which reads "Every house has a builder, but the builder behind them all is God."
People heard what the project was about, and a group came together to help, Williams said.
Local business owners representing construction, painting, plumbing, roofing and interior design companies have reached out to either Hulbert or Williams to offer help.
Some people have dipped into their own pockets. An anonymous donor from California wrote a $5,000 check to buy a recreational vehicle for Moran and Destiny to live in during the construction.
Hulbert agreed to build a 1,700-square-foot house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Sun State Plumbing will lay pipes for the new home.
Golden Granite and Marble, along with S&W Supply, will furnish new cabinets and granite countertops.
And all at no cost to the family.
"The community is rallying around this project," Hulbert said. "It's amazing."
So far, more than $60,000 in materials has been donated for the project, Hulbert said, which doesn't include the time and labor that many business owners have donated.
Hulbert said that on a daily basis, more people offer their services for the Polk City 3:4 Project.
"I don't think we'll have any problem finishing this project fully on donations," he said.
Before the volunteers broke ground, Williams gathered everyone around to speak about the project, and at the end he asked them to participate in a battle cry.
He cocked his head back, cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Raq Hazaq."
The Israeli battle cry, which Williams said is still used today, translates to "Be strong and very courageous."
"We all have to be strong and courageous out here," Williams said. "I believe God has the power to change lives and compensate those who sacrifice."

Love it! It looks like the dimensions are one 4 1/2' square, two 2 1/2 " squares sewn together, and then one 2 1/2" by 4 1/2" rectangle. Am I right? I love the pieced border. It appears to be a mix of the same 2 1/2" by 4 1/2" rectangles and 2 1/2" squares.

they are actually 8 inch squares and 16 x 8 inch rectangles. Also a couple of giant squares. Thanks so much.

This looks very much like a kit I bought at Jo-Ann Fabrics. I have the top done, but haven't finished the quilt yet. I recognized the fabrics as being the same. But I think my blocks are smaller.

The central thrust of Wayne LaPierre's press conference offering "solutions" in the wake of the Newtown massacre is to put armed security in every school.
There were 98,706 public schools in 2008-9 (plus 33,740 private schools, which I'll leave aside).
Even assuming you underpay these armed security guards until such time as school unions represent them, you would pay at least $50,000 in wages and benefits for these armed guards.
That works out to roughly $5 billion, for just one guard in every public school.
That, at a time when we're defunding education.
In short, Wayne LaPierre just demanded a $5 billion subsidy for his NGO, the price he presumes we should pay as yet another externalized cost of America's sick relationship with guns.
I've got a better idea. Let's tax gun owners, to cover thus potential cost and the cost of responding to the massacres the NRA enables. Anything short of such stiff taxes would be socialism.
From NRA statement [they don't have a direct link]-LaPierre; 12/21/12
[…] National School Shield Safety Program-NRA program
The NRA is going to bring all of its knowledge, dedication and resources to develop a model National School Shield Emergency Response Program for every school that wants it. From armed security to building design and access control to information technology to student and teacher training, this multi-faceted program will be developed by the very best experts in their fields.
Former Congressman Asa Hutchinson will lead this effort as National Director of the National School Shield Program, with a budget provided by the NRA of whatever scope the task requires. His experience as a U.S. Attorney, Director of the Drug Enforcement Agency and Undersecretary of the Department of Homeland Security will give him the knowledge and expertise to hire the most knowledgeable and credentialed experts available anywhere, to get this program up and running from the first day forward. […]
About taxing gun owners, Yves links to one suggestion here:
Externalities and the Dubious Defenses of Gun Enthusiasts; Naked Capitalism; 12/21/12
We featured a post earlier this week by Michael Olenick that argued that the time had arrived to charge gun owners for the true cost of gun ownership […]
I was rather dumbfounded to hear LaPierre talk about some sort of "active national data base of the mentally ill" given how hard LaPierre and the NRA fought and continue to fight against any sorts of back ground checks at things like gun shows.
After all, a database is pretty much useless if there is no requirement to actually use it.
I think the movie theater owners are going to feel left out. How many movie theaters are there in America? Every one of them needs armed protection too.
And Sikh temples? Why omit Sikh temples? Also: colleges and Universities. Also: Luby's. Why does Wayne LaPierre hate Luby's customers?
Violence Policy Center [saw this at NYT Lede Blog]
"The NRA plan, which cynically allows for the continued sale of the assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines marketed by its gun industry corporate donors, has already been tried, and it did not work. In fact there were TWO armed law enforcement agents present at Columbine High School during the assault by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that left 15 dead and 23 wounded. They twice engaged and fired at Eric Harris in an effort to stop the shooting, but were unsuccessful because they were outgunned by the assault weapons wielded by the two teens."
"I've got a better idea. Let's tax gun owners, to cover thus potential cost and the cost of responding to the massacres the NRA enables. Anything short of such stiff taxes would be socialism."
Wouldn't it be a better idea yet to tax gun manufacturers?
Put more succinctly: "Hi, we're the NRA and we're moronically clueless."
Databases for THOSE people are fine; databases of OUR people are not.
@harpie: "The NRA is going to bring all of its knowledge, dedication and resources to develop a model National School Shield Emergency Response Program for every school that wants it."
Nice setup for the next incident. "We offered to help protect them, but they didn't want it. Convinced yet?"
Maybe you were joking, but I don't think that you can tax the exercise of a Constitutional right.
resonse to powerful pierre ("because i love ze moneee")
we have listened to your avoidance of respoñsibility and sophistical arguments dodging that responsbility for years.
the nra is solely, repeat solely, responsible for the decades long impasse on gun safety through its utterly selfish, moniacle campaign to destroy the career of any american politician at any level of govt who refuses to support even its most inane demands.
as organizations go, the nra is a sociopath who piously wraps itself in the constitution and the robes of justice
a "syllogism" explaining republican refusal to accept responsibility for their harmful to disastrous policies and laws:
– republican politicians in these times pursue hidden policy
and law agendas
– those agendas are based on the needs and desires of wealthy or powerful individuals and institutions
– republican candidates must lie and otherwise deceive voters because they dare not run on their hidden agendas
– when elected, those hidden agendas often prove the father of bad to disastrous policy and law
– in order hide their responsibility for bad policy or disaster, repoblican office must lie to the public about that responsibility.
Put out donuts at schools. Let the local cops hang out there instead of the local donut dive. It would protect the kids and be a more cost effective use of public funds we are already spending.
Hellfire missiles are real assault weapons. The president has personally ordered strikes that have killed many, many more kids than Lanza did. A single executive decision to stop ordering those strikes can save more children's lives than all the "looks like an assault weapon" bans congress can ever enact. Where's the outrage? Where is the same ridicule of and anger for those who could instantly stop killing kids but choose not to?
the nra can't have a solution becuase they are the problem, unless they want to turn the guns on themselves! this requires a solution from american politicians who are too busy being in bed with the nra…
"I've got a better idea. Let's tax gun owners."
unfortunately this requires some gov't action as well, and we know how incapable these same politicians are on anything addressing the nra's bullshit.. what will change any of this remains a complete mystery at this point..
The N.R.A.'s Blockade on Science; NYT Opinionator blog; Gary Gutting; 12/20/12 [Prof, Philosophy @ Notre Dame]
In the years since the 2004 report, research on firearms has, despite the panel's recommendation, significantly decreased. […]It's not that scientists are uninterested in gun research or don't know how to study guns' connection to violence. It's rather that the N.R.A. has blocked most efforts at serious gun research, going so far as to restrict access to the highly informative data available from Justice Department traces of guns used in crimes. As The Times reported, "Scientists in the field and former officials with the government agency that used to finance the great bulk of this research say the influence of the National Rife Association has all but choked off money for such work."
We won't know the cause of gun violence until we look for it; WaPo, Opinion; Jay Dickey and Mark Rosenberg; 7/27/12
[…] One of us [Dickey] served as the NRA's point person in Congress and submitted an amendment to an appropriations bill that removed $2.6 million from the CDC's budget, the amount the agency's injury center had spent on firearms-related research the previous year. This amendment, together with a stipulation that "None of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control," sent a chilling message.
Since the legislation passed in 1996, the United States has spent about $240 million a year on traffic safety research, but there has been almost no publicly funded research on firearm injuries.[…]
@harpie: better link [AP]:
Shouldn't tsa expand into the role? They want extra $$$$ to man road blocks so way not add a few dollars on so tsa can be there save us from harm.
if you want to understand just how contorted and "let the argument fit the conclusion" justice scalia's "heller" reasoning was you have to read the work of fordham historian saul cornell whose career has focused on the history of the second amendment.
hint: in the larger debate the 14th and other amendments, together with long-established local and state history on gun-control prove as important as the second.
here is a less academic article by saul cornell:
more from historian saul cornell:
for prof cornell's essay just cited, this succinct statement:
This is all so deeply twisted: after all, the Founders framed the Constitution in part as a response to the danger posed by Shays' Rebellion.
As a result, our modern debate over gun rights has virtually nothing to with the Founders' Second Amendment; that debate actually started about 30 years after the Amendment was adopted. What emerged was the notion that reasonable regulation was not inconsistent with the right to bear arms. In fact it was the only option in a heavily armed society.
Up until the 1980s, there was no "individual-rights" theory of the Second Amendment. Many states had adopted provisions protecting an individual right to own guns, but this tradition was distinct from the Amendment. All that changed when right-wing think tanks undertook a conscious effort to fund new scholarship to rewrite the amendment's history. At first that effort was not well received, even in conservative circles. As late as 1991, former Supreme Court chief justice Warren Burger famously called the idea of an individual right to bear arms "one of the greatest pieces of fraud—I repeat the word 'fraud'—on the American public by special-interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime."
Tax the ammunition. Chris Rock says $5k per bullet should do it.
that "none of the money… may be used to advocate…" is another republican hidden-policy lie.
the issue is not "may not advocate".
i think it is fair to say that at cdc that clause and related others is interpreted to mean that the cdc had better not and may not collect extensive data or fund ANY research on gun violence lest it be punished with loss of funding elsewhere and the prompt firing of its leadership.
@JTMinIA: Sure you can. The press gets taxed. Broadband gets taxed. Cable gets taxed. Books get taxed.
If the First Amendment can be taxed, then so can the Second.
@harpie: Thanks for the link and comment. This school program sounds like what we'd expect from Blackwater,Inc. And true to the shock doctrine model, this program seems to have been on the shelf, just waiting for some catastrophic event to provide the opportunity to roll it out.
@emptywheel: I do not believe that the press are taxed for reporting. Yes, they get taxed if they sell their reports, but they are not taxed for the actual exercise of the right to speech.
I'm not trying to be a jerk and I wish it were possible to tax gun ownership, but I don't think that you can do what you're suggesting and it seems a small step away from a poll tax to me.
"I've got a better idea. Let's tax gun owners, to cover thus potential cost and the cost of responding to the massacres the NRA enables. Anything short of such stiff taxes would be socialism."
Good idea. Right on. I'd like to see LaPierre try to shoot his way out of that one.
$5 billion is a lot of cash. For what I assume would be a lot less, why not install bullet proof glass for the children's classrooms and safer locks to keep the rooms secure during a lockdown?
Also each school could be fitted witih silent alarms that ring up the police station directly.
It's just like the security banks have now except in service of protecting something more precious than gold bullion and pallets of cash.
There could also be bullet proof dividers which come down from the hallway ceilings to help protect people caught outside the classrooms at the beginning of a gunman rampage. It would be a one time cost footed by taxed gun owners and gun manufacturers. And bullet proof glass doesn't require an annual paycheck.
I'm not trying to be a jerk either, but I think you are way too tentative about this. I.e., you have either not thought it through vry much or are just provoking.
@DonS: Tentative?
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
No. Wait. Not that one.
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Yeah. That one.
I'd say the first people on it should be the NRA's officers and directors. With a note attached to each one that they are not to be removed until they've been dead for ten years.
bloomberg publishes a report on the increasing importance of fund-raising to the nra given its falling income from membership dues:
here is another bloomberg article on just how the nra goes about making its money each year:
hint: increasingly, it's from corporate and individual fundraising.
Yes, let's put underpaid, heavily armed men in all our schools, men who don't qualify for better paying or more challenging jobs for godknowswhat reasons. It's not like crazy, violent people would ever apply for those jobs. Well, maybe…. so we better hire at least two for each school so they can keep an eye on each other. And since the crazy one will take out the good one first, before he even knows what hit him, we should make it three so there will be a back up. Make that four since the back up will only have a 50/50 chance against the nutjob.
Prediction: If this goes into effect, several children per year will be shot unjustly (or even accidentally) by their own school guards. If there is a 1/10,000 chance of it happening, that is 10 students per year.
while reaching for a comb in their back pocket or something.
So how are you going to enforce/establish this tax mechanism… send in a fed to search and inventory every home in the land? Felonize those who don't care to inventory their grandpa's shotgun or deer rifle? In order to punish and penalize what, 99 plus percent of millions of excellent gun owners.
In addition to more taxation there is the other "progressive" response to the NRA's more armed people in schools.. Sen Boxer wants to put in armed national guardsmen. WHile I think more armed people in ever increasing locked down prison like schools is beyond absurd… i think i'll take my local armed Bubbas in local schools over the NG for day to day "security"… if I must take a side in two dog awful choices.
No, this whole thing reminds me of tobacco (started with a "reasonable" warning label and now it's against the law in many places to smoke in a bar, or even outside on a sidewalk or in a park) and millions of perfectly decent people now pay outrageous taxation on tobacco ta boot…. all the way to derivatives and cdo's. It's not about us except for the looting and ever waning liberties. When you can't get what you want just ponzi complicate while bleeding peoples money dry.
As I said when I joined the NRA this week… in a sea of absurdity I will side with those who defend liberty. (No matter how bizarrely they do it). Because I don't see anyone remotely trying to address the violence in this horrifically violent society.
