[dc]T[/dc]racy Clark-Flory does it again, in her recently published article for Salon, The war on female sexuality: Is globalization to blame?
Women's bodies have become a global battlefield. The brutal New Delhi gang rape case, and the fierce protests it sparked, is just one example. From education of Afghan schoolgirls to veiling in France, female sexuality and freedom has come to symbolize a global conflict "over the nature of the self," argues David Jacobson, a University of South Florida sociologist, in "Of Virgins and Martyrs: Women and Sexuality in Global Conflict," which comes out later this month. It's chiefly an ideological divide of "honor" versus "self-possession" — or, as he puts it in the book, "who owns and control's one's body, especially when it comes to women: is it the individual herself or the community, through enforced practices of honor, virginity, veiling, and marriage?"
To David Jacobson, a University of South Florida sociologist and author of the upcoming book, "Of Virgins and Martyrs: Women and Sexuality in Global Conflict," she asks the question: Why is female sexuality at the heart of some of our most significant global conflicts?
It's extraordinary. What we've seen in Delhi recently is a horrifying symptom of this broader global phenomenon. The more patriarchal a society, the more vicious the backlash to the integration of women, not just in the labor market and education but to the growing autonomy of women in areas from fashion to consumerism to marriage. I think what's happening is that women's sexuality and women's status has really become the hinge of two very different visions of society and visions of morality.
She also puts forth these questions:
There's a piece of this that's something of an age-old phenomenon, right? Women's bodies as sites of conflict and incitements for war?
Where does this honor-based view of female sexuality come from?
You make a point of making a distinction between how women's bodies are viewed in patriarchal, honor-based societies and by Muslim culture as a whole. What are those key differences?
We see vaguely related tensions between "honor" and "self-determination" in Western cultures, too, right — take, just for one example, the SlutWalks?
Why, exactly, has the West moved away from that patriarchal notion of female honor?
Are those values of "honor" and "self-determination" at all reconcilable? What can we learn from zooming in on the role women play in these global conflicts about the way forward?
Read the full article for the answers to these questions. From New Dehli to the war on women here, sexual freedom has sparked a global conflict. An expert explains why.

I know I have been kinda hair crazy lately but I just can't help it> I am obsessed. I am really getting sick of dying my hair and I don't really want my grey to be that evident. Dying really takes a toll on my hair health. In fact, it is sorta killing it. I concocted this idea that I could add some highlights along my part and around my face and not worry about the rest of it so I made a Friday appointment to talk with my stylist Jo Brandon. She did a strand test and recommended this awesome hair mask. I am supposed to go back to her on Wednesday for a mini-highlight and she wanted me to be extra nice to my hair so it could withstand the color lifting needed for highlights.
This stuff is fantastic. My hair is so soft and not frizzed. Wow! Curled right up.
So that is me, makeup free and curly hair. Now I am thinking about waiting until October to get the highlights and just see how it looks as I let the roots grow out untouched. I am really sick of coloring it. Maybe it won't be too bad.
Saturday Irene blew in and we were surprised at how early in the day it started. Our area of town didn't get it as bad as some but we still lost a tree. I took some photos Sunday morning.Oak tree came right out of the ground at the base but it looks like the roots broke off.
The latest addition to my yard. Very unwelcome addition. If you notice on the left the branches are on the driveway. My husband's police car WAS parked there. Fortunately, he was able to back the squad car out and it sustained no damage.
This photo shows the small gum tree that the oak pushed down with it. Surprisingly, the gum tree didn't snap and is holding up the oak - kinda.
My deck looked like a salad bowl had been dumped all over it and leaves were also plastered to the side of the house. All in all, we got off easy. There is a tree to be removed from the yard but at least no damage to the house and we didn't lose power.
After cleaning up the deck in the morning, Morgan and I met Ruta at the mall. Morgan needed to get some back to school clothes and I am getting ready for the Project Style Final Round.
The Live Style Off takes place on September 8th at 6pm. If you recall, I was in Round 1 of the Semi-Finals for Project Style and thanks to my friends who voted > I won the round. Here is the entry that won me a spot in the Finals:
The Final Round is a Live Style Off at the mall. I will have 1 hour to shop and change into my outfit to appear for the judging. An hour is not alot of time so I have begun visiting the mall to find the items I will purchase for the contest. The winner of the Live Style Off receives $1000 shopping spree at the mall and the title of Top Trendsetter 2011. I hope to win but I am nervous about the limited amount of time to shop. Also, we are supposed to go for a Runway look instead of an Everyday look. Challenging!!
Primarily, I have been focusing on shoes because they can make or break an outfit.If you followed this blog through the winter you know I adore boots! So these high button boots are at Bakers for $100 and are high on my list. I found a really great dress at Francescas with great color and print.
I took a photo of a sample of the print so I could match accessories to the colors. The dress is really cute and has flowy sleeves.
Then we went Aldos and I saw these shoes!! I fell completely in love with this shoe!! Unfortunately, they don't have it in my size right now. The salesgirl told me they get in new shipments on Tuesdays so I am hoping they get my size! These are $100.
This color of the same shoe is on sale for $60 and they had it in my size. I really LOVE the blue ones better. However, I am not sure what clothes I would pair with either the blue or the red shoe.
At least with the boots I have some clothes chosen to go with them. I saw a really nice cozy sweater that buttons down the front and is mini-dress length and I found a rusty orange skirt that MIGHT go with the red shoes.
Were you affected by Hurricane Irene?
I hope you all have a great week!

RANGOON — Burma's leaders are under fire for being out of touch after the country's vice president reportedly insisted that a little over US$2 was a sufficient daily income.
According to Burmese-language weekly Public Image, Nyan Tun—one of two vice presidents in the administration of President Thein Sein—made the comment during an informal conversation that followed a ceremony in Rangoon on Monday to hand out funds to farming cooperatives.
The journal said that Nyan Tun insisted that just over 2,000 kyat, or $2.07, was "enough to survive" in Burma.
"If you get a bit more [than 2,000 kyat], you will be alright," the vice president reportedly said.
His comments came as low wages and inflation—particularly electricity, accommodation and food prices—mean the cost of living is rising for most Burmese. On May Day, workers took to the streets asking for minimum daily wage of 5,600 kyat.
"His speech reveals how far he is from the people and their lives," said Phyu Phyu Thin, a lawmaker from the opposition National League for Democracy. "He shouldn't talk like this. In the meantime, even President Thein Sein has not been able to improve people's lives."
His comments spread quickly on social media, drawing sharp criticism from those familiar with the everyday costs of life in Burma.
"Even the cheapest meal can cost you K800. How dare you say K2000 is enough to survive," one Facebook user complained.
Contacted about the comment, President's Office Spokesman Ye Htut told The Irrawaddy that Nyan Tun may have been referring to the international poverty line.
"The World Bank said in 2008, if you earn less than $1.25 a day you are poor. It's likely that the vice president said it based on this," he said.
This explanation seemed unable to quell the anger the vice president's comment has stirred, particularly given the high standard of living enjoyed by those in the country's elite, made up of former military officials and their close associates.
"Why doesn't he take his salary based on K2000 per day?" another Facebook user said.
Nyan Tun's official monthly salary is 4,000,000 kyat, or more than $4,000, meaning that each day he earns 130,000 kyat, 65 times the salary he insists is enough to survive.
Our Burmese vice president looks like Mr. Bean….such an idoit! Shame on you!
Yeah! Right. If you have $ 2 daily legal income plus $ 100 laundered money like regime, it is sufficient for us. However, general public do not steal, Rob or launder money from state funds. Nan tun better lives a day of public life with $ 2 a day. This regime is not just heartless, it is brainless too.
Nyan Htun – 2000 Kyats is enough for one day.
If he beleives what he said do proof by him and his family member to live on 2,000 Kyats per day. Let us know what how he will spend his 2,000 kyats in one day. If he and his family survived with 2,000 Kyats for one day do let our country people provide a job which we can
earn 2,000 Kyats / one day Salary within the government.
Without proof do not preach just for the sake of preaching.
Winn Winn
He looks like an idiot. He is an idiot. He looks like a dumb one. He is a dumb one. He looks like an ignorant person. He is an ignorant person. How did he become vice president? He was a killer and that was his qualification to become vice president.
I am really distressed to hear that but not surprised at all. You know why? Don't you see his name is Nyan Tun? I think it means Bright Brain!!! Please correct me if I am wrong.
Languages apart, get an idea of cost of living and standard of living in present day Burma from the following: walk around rich and glitzy areas of Rangoon and you will see young boys, girls and aged scavenging for rotten food from the trash put out by the few rich. This is about the living. When they die, bereft family members can not afford a decent and deserving funeral – they simply dump the dead body in the dark in heaps of garbage around street corners and back alleys! 80% of school-going-age boys and girls toil in farmlands, tea shops, coolies, begging, stealing, scavenge for recyclable papers, plastics and cans from mounds of garbage. Women work as low paid factory workers, housemaids, sweepers, janitors, beggars, prostitutes and pimps. Men work as low paid construction workers, garbage collectors, beggars, thieves, break-ins (on the increase in Rangoon), extortion, bag-snatchers, etc.
Look at their physique. Skeletons from Anatomy Classroom of MC 1 or MC 2 (are they still there?). Haggard, sickly, underfed and malnourished.
Yet stupid U Bright Brain has the face to say that USD 2/day is more than enough for an average Burmese family to live on! And, on the other hand he, Mr. President, Mr. Ministers, Mr. Deputy Ministers, current and former military men, their parasitessss and leechesssss like Tay Za, etc. need and make sure that they pocket USD 2 million or MORE a month, stash it away in their bank accounts in Singapore!
Fair and caring Mr. Bright Brain!
Oh Poor Burmese People, learn to be thrifty….live on and make do with USD 1 a day and save the other dollar for ahlu dana for the sangha and zedi and gain merit. USD 2 a day for you is more than you really need to live on according to Mr. Bright Brain!
It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.
Actually He lost on the ground.But he is on the peoples' radar.Banging the pots and kitchen utensils from our homes is the only way to remind him.
U Nyan Tun better changes his name to Maung Pauk Kyaing.
He got Bachelor of Science Business Management and Phd Comics.
And he a good oo talone nae shweyoe dancer.
That's why Charles Bukowaski said " THE PROBLEM WITH THE WORLD IS THAT THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ARE FULL OF DOUBT, WHILE THE STUPID PEOPLE ARE FULL OF CONFIDENCE."

I don't notice much of a difference in muscle meat, but I'll tell you, at ~$15.00/lb for grass fed steak, I don't eat a lot. 95/5 grassfed ground beef is soooo much better than conventional ground beef that it's like another animal to me.
I like eating varied, so even just eating commonplace meats: pork, chicken, salmon, beef, liver, shell fish/squid, that leaves me one or two days for repeats or something new or a cheese day. So, even though I love beef, I don't eat a boatload of it.
I did have a great source for reasonably priced grass fed beef shanks which I think must be earth's answer to beef heaven, but they changed suppliers and haven't had them for a awhile. :(

|With Justin Verlander leading a strong staff, the Tigers are built for the postseason. (AP)
You bet I saw it coming this spring.
I looked into the future, and I saw the Athletics. But because this particular future was 2021, I threw it back.
Then I looked into the future and saw the Orioles. But because the bird was maniacally grinning back at me as if it had just escaped the clutches of Boog Powell's barbecue, I quickly shuddered and pulled the blind.
|More on MLB playoffs
|Related links
So then I looked into the future and saw the Tigers and the Giants in the World Series, with the Tigers winning. You can look it up. Coming out of spring training, that was exactly my call.
So I see no reason to change now.
Go ahead, start in on the Tigers, who for roughly 80 percent of this season couldn't get out of the way of their own stripes. Yeah, yeah. They haven't exactly been reminiscent of Alan Trammell and Sweet Lou Whitaker's 35-5 run to start the 1984 season. But they're not the Los Angeles Angels of We Paid $250 Million for Albert Pujols and All We Got Was No Playoffs and This Lousy T-Shirt, either.
While Pujols and the Angels are home tuning up their remotes for the playoffs, Prince Fielder and his Tigers are in. And getting there, that's half the battle.
"It's been a rough year," manager Jim Leyland freely admits. "We've taken some hits.
"But the thing I'm most proud of, I've said on a consistent basis, every day, let's wait until 162 games are played."
When they looked up at that point, Miguel Cabrera had become the first man in 45 years to win a Triple Crown.
So yes, you bet I can see what's coming next, too. And it ain't going to be pretty.
Cabrera will continue to mash. He's going to hit .800 this postseason, swat 10 or 11 homers, collect total bases like Halloween candy while the Tigers dance from here to November. He will be so awesomely awesome that when the Angels' Mike Trout wins the AL MVP award next month, folks will be so incredulous that the simmering outrage already surrounding the "debate" over this award finally will bubble over, pitting man against computer, brother against brother.
Oh, will it ever get nasty. I fully expect a mud-wrestling tussle between myself and Joe Sheehan of SI.com. Colleague Danny Knobler will engage in fisticuffs with Jeff Passan of Yahoo! In Anaheim, Mickey Mouse will bludgeon Tigger to death with his iPhone in Disneyland's worst riot ever.
But that's November. October?
Here's the thing about the Tigers that goes beyond Cabrera and Prince: If nobody slams a car door on Max Scherzer's fingers (and the way it's been going for him, don't underestimate the odds of that), Detroit has an assembly-line rotation that can kill in a short series. Justin Verlander, Doug Fister, Scherzer ... Anibal Sanchez, for crying out loud, is No. 4! And that doesn't even count whatever contributions Rick Porcello will make before Joaquin Benoit and the Big Potato himself, Jose Valverde, shut down the eighth and ninth innings.
Count me in for a seat on this shiny new Chrysler, or Ford, or whatever ride will serve as the Tigers' bandwagon. I'm a Motown guy. This ol' heart of mine breaks for two Coney dogs, please, and a Faygo orange pop to wash it down with.
Maybe the Tigers didn't live up to expectations this summer. But they will this fall.
Wild card round
Braves over Cardinals: There are zero overwhelming favorites this October. Clubs are so evenly matched that any one of the 10 teams can win. Well, any one of nine teams. Not the Cardinals. I mean, really, after what they did last September and October, even Hollywood's swiftest sequel writers couldn't write one this quickly. Kyle Lohse has had a great season. But the Braves are a ridiculous 23-0 dating back to last year in games Kris Medlen starts. Make it 24-0 Friday.
Orioles over Rangers: If Baltimore has provided one incredibly valuable service during its best baseball summer since 1997, it's that we all now know exactly what the term "ornothogically correct" means. As in, "Thank God these guys ditched the ornothogically correct Oriole on their caps and gave us back that Woody Woodpecker-looking bastard that makes us all smile so much." Or, maybe the one valuable service was recalling Manny Machado ... or drafting Matt Wieters ... or trading for Adam Jones. Anything can happen in one game, but it will be totally shocking if the Rangers' Josh Hamilton can see straight anymore after the debacle in Oakland.
Division Series
Athletics vs. Tigers You already know how this will turn out if you read my ode to the Mayo Smith Society's favorite club above. Where Oakland is concerned, suffice it to say that storming back from five games behind the Rangers with nine to play is the most impressive feat for the Swingin' A's since Rollie Fingers' handlebar mustache. This spring, I swear terrific manager Bob Melvin was giving Jarrod Parker, A.J. Griffin and the gang breaks for graham crackers and milk. Are you kidding, 14 rookies on the club? And rookie pitchers starting 103 of 162 games this season? This will not be easy for Detroit. Tigers in 4
Orioles vs. Yankees: You think the Orioles' rotation is bubble gum and thread, have you seen what the Yankees are throwing out there after CC Sabathia? Key game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Yankees right fielder Nick Swisher drifts back on a long J.J. Hardy drive but fails to catch it when a fan reaches out and snatches the ball. When the umpires don't see it, they rule it a home run. The series turns on the call. And the fan promptly disappears. Some swear it is retired umpire Richie Garcia. O's in 5
Reds vs. Giants: Talk about getting all sentimental out of the gate. Dusty Baker brings his Reds back to San Francisco, where he cut his managerial teeth. When Bruce Bochy's club won it all in 2010, it was the Giants' first trip to the World Series since Dusty was manager in 2002 against the Angels. This will be all about pitching, with Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Mat Latos among those set to take starring roles. But in Cincinnati in Games 3, 4 and 5, the Giants' offense will come alive. Giants in 5
Braves vs. Nationals: Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmerman and there's more where that came from, man. Even without Stephen Strasburg, the Nationals' pitching is very good. They didn't produce the majors' best record by accident. The coolest scene in the entire playoffs will happen in that first game in D.C., when postseason baseball returns to D.C. for the first time since 1933. Suddenly, Jayson Werth looks brilliant: His old club, the Phillies, is yesterday's news, and his current club is on the launching pad for what could be a sustained run. Nationals in 4
League Championship Series
Tigers vs. Orioles: Now would be a good time for Austin Jackson, Jhonny Peralta, Alex Avila and anybody else in the clubhouse to step up and let people know that the Sons of Al Kaline are more than a two-man offense. I mean, somebody's got to carry the bags for Miggy and Prince once in awhile, don't they? Leyland will have his hands full, facing Melvin in the first round and Buck Showalter in the second. "For me personally, this is probably the toughest year I've ever had to cast my manager of the year vote," Leyland says. He added that he won't tell us which way he cast his vote. No need. Tigers in 6
Giants vs. Nationals Big concern for the Nationals is that they peaked emotionally when Teddy won the President's Race. Another big concern for them will be Cain, Bumgarner, Ryan Vogelsong and maybe even Tim Lincecum. Plus Bochy's pitch-perfect knack for handling his bullpen-by-committee. Sergio Romo, Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez ... come the ninth inning, you never know which arm is going to whack you. This also is about the point in the playoffs where Nationals fans will start screaming, where's Stephen Strasburg?! Giants in 5
World Series
Giants vs. Tigers: How cool would it be if Kaline and Willie Mays delivered the lineup cards to home plate before Game 1? As we've already established, Cabrera's big stick will power the Tigers to their first World Series title since 1984. What will seem eerie is his presence in AT&T Park. Not even Barry Bonds, the slugger of recent vintage whom Cabrera is most reminiscent (even if he's a righty and Bonds batted left), won a Triple Crown. Tigers in 7

Dead or Alive 3
Of all game types, Fighting games still rule the console industry, I can't imagine someone not having played Tekken, not having played Street Fighter, not having played Virtua Fighter nor even Soul Calibur. In the line of the Original DOA titles, Tecmo and Microsoft have released DOA3 for the Xbox.
Where DOA2 meant a gigantic success for Sony's PS2, DOA3 surely equals the stats, alas, the third redraw of the DOA game hasn't changed much compared to its innovative predecessor, no real extras have been added compared to other fighting games, hell, DOA never even had a real story line, but in the end, we don't care about stories do we … it's merely a game type you play for the fun of it, the moves and the gorgeous girls *cough* tina *cough* (rrrrrrrrr). DOA3 is clearly not only focused on game play but you can surely say that it also focuses upon graphics.
Environmental decors are superb, some levels are even interactive: you're fighting your opponent on the top-level of a building and you can just kick your opponent through the window, or yet another level where you play on 'pylons' and can kick your opponent onto another pylon (and it keeps on going and going and going). Certainly, the power of the Xbox lies within the realistic rendering of water effects (make sure to place a mop around your screen).
Getting to know all the character's moves is just plain-difficult , but nevertheless, every character has its own specific moves that can beat the crap out of someone else. Choose a character you like best, but beware, It's not whether they're slow and cumbersome that they can't fight.
In all of the game's aura, Tag battle stays the coolest option of them all, where you can play up to four players together (not simultaneously, but by turns).
DOA3 will certainly hook you up to your tube for a while. I couldn't stop drooling whenever I kicked out some weird amazing move (triple somersault, through the legs, gripping arm, inverted backward somersault, pulling hair and doing a 65 damage combo, now that's what I call action). DAO3 will certainly get some people killed of starvation

The World Cup has just finished and the best team won. Congratulations to Spain – we will see you at Euro 2012 in Poland and the Ukraine.
The T-Systems symposium series also came to an end recently. The last of the three events took place at the Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart Airport. The match between the Netherlands and Uruguay kicked off in the evening of July 6. The atmosphere at the Mövenpick Hotel was wonderfully soccer-like, with mannequins in the main room dressed in the kits of various national teams, vuvuzelas all around (the key note speakers had to demonstrate their musical talents), and lots more soccer decoration. 😉
Around 80 to 90 customers attended the symposium to hear about T-Systems and, in a special breakout session, various experts went into the nitty gritty of top topics. AMM with ERP was presented by Arndt Emmert, Hannes Ziegler and Udo Hommel. About a dozen customers were very interested in the practical expertise and knowledge gained as part of AMM/ERP projects.
Customers addressed tricky issues with lots of questions such as "What exactly is a service level?" or "What does the Ambition method entail?" The breakout session discussion was very interesting and showed that AMM is a hot topic among customer enterprises.
The head of Systems Integration, Dr. Ferri Abolhassan, was one of the keynote speakers. He provided information on IT industrialization and production benchmarks, and looked at how IT can learn more about the automotive industry. Incidentally, automotive is one of our favourite Systems Integration branches. At the marketplace, customers also had the opportunity to talk to experts and pick up copies of the latest brochures, white papers and much more. I was pleased to see that our AMM factsheet was completely "sold out." This is evidence that AMM is more current than ever.
A great moment of the symposium was the visit from Reiner Calmund, former manager of Bayer Leverkusen, who talked at length about skills and his passion for success. He recounted a lot of very funny stories about his insider view of the soccer business. This was followed by a quiz on the soccer World Cup. I knew all the answers, but employees weren't allowed to take part as it was only for customers. I hope that our customers were able to gain some important new insights into AMM and ERP (and all the other topics, too) and of course that they won one of the World Cup quiz prizes!
Best regards,

He has almost been an out of sight and out of mind figure through the first three months of the 2012 season.
But as Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley sat in the dugout at Citizens Bank Park on Monday, preparing to head to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to clear the final step in his road back from chondromalacia, he sounded like a player who is tired of watching people beat up on him and his faltering teammates.
"I know there are some people who have given up on me," Utley said. "There are some people who have given up on this team. I'll be the first one to tell you that I definitely have not given up on myself and our guys have not given up on this year. We have strong-willed guys on this team. We've lost some games lately. The majority of games we've lost, we've had a legitimate opportunity to win. All it takes is one good bounce our way and things can change."
Utley will play on Tuesday night for the IronPigs at Allentown. If all goes well, signs point to him being activated either Wednesday or Thursday.
"It's a possibility," Utley said when the subject of a Wednesday return was mentioned.
When asked about his condition, Utley would not say that his knees -- which have been impacted by a chronic condition each of the last two seasons -- were "pain free."
"I would say that I'm in a much better place than I was a month ago, and I'm encouraged by that," Utley said. "I wouldn't be out there if I felt uncomfortable."
Utley hit only .156 in nine games in his minor league assignment for Class A Clearwater. But the Phillies' management doesn't seem to worry about the lack of production from its second baseman.
"From what I saw of the DVDs of him hitting in Clearwater, he looks about the same to me," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He hit a home run the other night. I noticed the other night, it wasn't because he hit a home run, but he had a real good swing on the ball. He had a real good base."

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Cell Genesys is halting a late-stage investigation of its prostate cancer immunotherapy because of an imbalance of deaths between the two treatment arms. A specific cause for this imbalance is yet unknown. No new safety issues were observed at the time of the review.
The firm's stock took a major hit in morning trading. It dropped almost 74% from $2.8 per share at yesterday's close to open today at $0.73.
"We are currently notifying all participating clinical trial sites and regulatory agencies that enrollment of new patients into Vital-2 has been suspended as has treatment with GVAX immunotherapy for prostate cancer of patients enrolled in the study," says Stephen A. Sherwin, M.D., chairman and CEO.
The study, called Vital-2, was comparing GVAX in combination with Taxotere® to Taxotere plus prednisone in patients with advanced-stage prostate cancer. Cell Genesys reports that 408 patients had been enrolled to date.
In a routine safety review conducted earlier this week, the company's Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) noted that 67 deaths occurred in the GVAX plus Taxotere treatment arm and 47 deaths occurred in the control arm. Cell Genesys also plans on conducting an inspection of its second Phase III study with GVAX in prostate cancer, called Vital-1. The firm has requested that the IDMC perform a futility analysis of Vital-1, and results are expected in approximately one month.
Vital-1 is designed to compare GVAX as a monotherapy to Taxotere chemotherapy plus prednisone in earlier stage hormone-refractory patients with metastatic disease. It has enrolled 626 patients, and after a January interim analysis, IDMC recommended that the firm continue the trial.

Only if it's a wooden hand-guarded Yugo underfolder, that's for sure.
February 8, 2008, 04:32 PM
With Century AKs, you have to be aware that there is a decent chance you are going to have to send it back for warranty work. Ive had four and all four worked perfectly, but others have had problems. The most common problem is pretty easily fixed yourself, and that is the canted sight base.
For the money, Century AKs cant be beat. Saigas are damn fine and not as problematic, but they are in hunting rifle configuration.
This site is all about the Century guns(they are mostly Romanian) http://www.gunsnet.net/Linx310/
February 8, 2008, 07:05 PM
You should ask a better question.
Century imports AKs and contracts AKs built from kits. Both can have their own 'idiosyncrasies' and I personally think it's unfair to lump in their kit built (by outside contractors [ no angry beavers ]) AKs in with the WASRs...
Their US made AKs (from kits) have new barrels and are a lot nicer than any WASR.
February 8, 2008, 08:25 PM
I am very happy with my Century WASR. Good rifle for the price.
February 8, 2008, 08:50 PM
I've had a SAR2 from Century, and still have my SAR1. They're a little higher end than the WASRs but they're close. Mine have been 100% excellent AKs IMO. The newer yugo underfolders Century has are supposedly very nice, the ones I've handled briefly at shows definitely seemed pretty darn nice.
February 8, 2008, 09:14 PM
Any firearm from Century is suspect at best. Especially if they had anything to do with its assembly. They have no concept of what QC is about.

RATINGS: 73 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.37/5 SEASONAL: Summer IBU: 31 EST. CALORIES: 177 ABV: 5.9%
La Petite Saison is a beautifully crafted beer brewed in the Belgian farmhouse style. The award-winning ale relies on Pilsener malt and white wheat, gently flattered with German Perle, Czech Saaz and American Willamette hops which add subtle, yet intricate flavoring to the beer. The Belgian yeast headlines the show, lacing palates with the delicate, floral esters for which the style is known. LPS is a smooth sipper with a crisp finish, and at 5.3% ABV skirts the upper range of session territory.
The yeasty notes in this saison make it a natural pairing for a variety of breads, cheeses and salads and it makes for a great backyard barbeque or watching the sun set over the Rocky Mountains.
First released in 2010 as Le Petit Saison, it was reintroduced in 2012 as a summer seasonal under the name La Petite Saison.

It's the 3rd most popular round in American right now (via ammo sales numbers).
Great deer round, also enough gun for most smaller stuff of course. Fun enough to shoot since it's not going to beat you up much.
Not a varmit gun though. Also, makes for a pretty good truck gun in that it's rather PC looking (compared to an SKS let's say).
It's not the state of the art fancy cartridge of the day. However, it's a capable cartridge when understood and used correctly. ie: deer at under 200m or so.
March 18, 2005, 10:53 PM
Good deer round, but no telling how many black bear, cougars, coyotes, foxes, and dogs (wild or stray) and a lot of other things have been killed with it over time. Believe it or not, it's a pretty versatile rifle/cartridge considering how short the list of available loadings is. I've heard some opinions that while .30-30 is considered a little light for elk, there's probably been a bunch of 'em killed from short range with it using 170grSPs. I haven't tried it, but hey, hit 'em in the vitals and they're going down, even if you do have to track 'em a short ways. Within reasonable range 170grainers'll turn a deer's heart and lungs to mush. (I know Elmer Keith didn't like .30caliber anything for elk, but back then, all they had was pretty much equivalent to what we call "cowboy load" now and that's not enough power for much of anything.)
FWIW, my club has a lead match coming up April 3rd. I'm planning to shoot my Win.'94 .30-30 in it (100yds on paper) with Ultramax's 165gr LFPs. (Think: "cowboy load" like I just mentioned.) They do as well accuracywise as the 150gr hunting loads I stoke it with for deer. I have a Lyman #2 tang sight on mine, which for match use is good because I'll be shooting against Sharps buffalo rifles. Having shot mine on paper, claybirds, and steel plate at 100yds, I know it'll do it. :D
I hope this helps give a wider picture of what a .30-30's good for.

Anything from rabbits to elk, depending on the rifleman.
How many forums did you post this question in anyway? :scrutiny:
March 18, 2005, 11:41 PM
One of the most versatile and useful cartridges on the market today, and much under-rated by those who should know better. Inside 150-175 yards, it's probably the premier deer-getter in the woods. Also good for anything up to 300-400 pounds at similar ranges. Use the heavier bullets for heavier game.
March 18, 2005, 11:43 PM
It's the 3rd most popular round in American right now (via ammo sales numbers).
Not to steal the thread, but what are the first two? I'd imagine .30-06 and either .308 or .270.
March 19, 2005, 12:23 AM
Also does a good job for self-defense or home defense with 125 grain HPs. I saw a picture of a guy that got shot with .30-30 in an autopsy book once. The X-Ray showed what looked like a lead snowstorm in his chest.

I have used my Winchester 30-30 on everything from groundsquirrels and jackrabbits to several Utah Mule deer and one elk. 110 gr. Speer varmenter for the small stuff and 170 gr jacketed soft point, (flat nose) for the bigger stuff. Not ideal in either application, but when you're a kid, (1976) and it's all you have, It'll get the job done. Fun and cheap to shoot, no gun safe should be without one
March 19, 2005, 10:06 AM
How much of a squirrel of rabbit is left afterward? :scrutiny:
March 19, 2005, 10:09 AM
How much of a squirrel of rabbit is left afterward?
Depends on where you hit 'em. Head shots with 110grainers wouldn't damage meat. Hit 'em anywhere else and you won't have much meat.
March 19, 2005, 11:15 AM
In my opinion a .30-30 is a must own rifle, period. It's got to be one of the most versatile rifles ever made, and if a person had to chose one rifle to use for the rest of his life (the horror!), I would not feel undergunned in any situation with a lever action.
March 19, 2005, 11:29 AM
I know you CAN kill an antelope with one.
I always loaded it 'heavy' with 170 gr bullets for hunting.
Vern Humphrey
March 19, 2005, 11:35 AM
I used to carry a .30-30 in the saddle boot back on the ranch, and killed a lot of deer, wild dogs, hogs, and so on. Nowadays, I still carry one occasionally -- often with cast bullet loads (160 grain Lee Roundnose, lubed with Liquid Alox and a "starting load" of IMR 3031.) This works well on coyotes, armadillos, dogs, and has taken an occasional squirrel or two.

When my grandad bought a new Win. Model 70 in .270 back in the 40's, it was considered the "big gun" in elk camp. Everybody else used 30-30's.

March 19, 2005, 05:24 PM
Can't find the article now. Was in a new gun mag. Think the 30-06 and .223 beat the 30-30. 270 was either 3rd or 4th. Wouldn't swear to those numbers now though, I'm sure the 30-30 was 3rd though.
March 19, 2005, 07:33 PM
"It can core a apple" :)
March 19, 2005, 07:58 PM
to me it is a very good truck gun and certainly a capable deer rifle for fairly close shots. everyone should have one at some time or another.
March 20, 2005, 12:20 PM
I used some of the 110 gr JHP bullets, they are very destructive on small game. 100 to 120 gr cast bullets at about 1100 to 1200 fps work well, and dont ruin meat. The JHP bullets at that velocity may be OK, I only used them at about 2600 or so fps.
I've shot rabbits with regular 170 gr loads, and they are a bit strenuous on the meat, but not as bad as the 110 gr loads at 2600 fps.
30-30's have been used quite a bit by whites and natives in Canada and Alaska over the last 100 years for general meat guns on moose and down. I think they are a bit light for moose, or elk, but they will do the job if the shot is fairly close and put in the right spot.
Early loads were like cowboy loads? Cowboy loads are usually lead bullets at reduced velocity. The early 30WCF (30-30) loads were 160 to 165 gr jacketed soft point bullets at about 1970 fps velocity. They were used on just about everything from deer up through moose and elk, and seemd to perform about the same as todays loads from all accounts. The modest velocity is somewhat forgiving to the bullets, not tending to fragment them like higher velocity tends to, so they would expand and penetrate decently. This limits range some, but within 200 yards they are not hard to hit with if the shooter is up to it. Some have used them at longer range, but velocity falls off and killing power drops beyond that point. I've plinked with 30-30's out to 300 yards or so, they aren't too hard to whack rocks with at that range, particularly if the gun is sighted a couple inches high at 100 yards and a streamlined (for 30-30) bullet is used. Speer bullets show about 30% flatter trajectory than Hornady bullets of the same weight (170 gr). The Hornady's tend to shoot better groups in my favorite Wincheser tho.
A 30-30 is a decent general purpose utility gun, but I usually hunt with heavier rounds, as this is good grizzly country.
I keep a Winchester carbine in the truck all the time. Good for road hit deer or antelope, etc, and I feel it's a good defense gun. 7 rounds in the magazine, and a belt of cartridges handy (and maybe a few more rounds behind the seat)will take care of about anything besides a full fledged invasion of Canadians.
March 20, 2005, 12:34 PM
Early loads were like cowboy loads? Cowboy loads are usually lead bullets at reduced velocity. The early 30WCF (30-30) loads were 160 to 165 gr jacketed soft point bullets at about 1970 fps velocity.
The original .30-30 loadings were cast lead, but they found that with the new smokeless powders available at that time and increased speeds, they had serious problems with leading as well as accuracy. That's why they went to jacketed bullets. Early handloading, from what I've heard, would've been most commonly done with cast lead bullets and black powder. Like I said, Elmer Keith said he didn't like .30WCF for his area and intended game. I never said it wouldn't take down an elk with today's heavier loadings. In fact, at short range, I wouldn't be past shooting an elk with mine and 170grainers.
I see you're thinking Canada. Available ammo may have been different between their and the US at back then too. I was watching American Rifleman TV last night- they said the RCMP was using 1886 Winchesters (I think they said .50-95) up into the 1920s. I don't doubt so many used .30-30's though.
Editted to add: I wrote that last paragraph before seeing your location as Wyoming.
March 20, 2005, 12:56 PM
Just got in from hog hunting, no luck but I dragged a Marlin 336 30-30 under, over, around, and through some of the worst pine deadfalls I've ever been in, plus up and down bluffs and briar patches so thick I nearly had to crawl. It is an excellent brush gun.
March 20, 2005, 03:29 PM
This is the first I've heard of the 30WCF having been factory loaded with a cast lead bullet as it's original load. All information I've seen is that it has always been factory loaded with the JSP bullet from the begining. Where did you hear or read the it was originally a lead load? Not meaning to sound contentious, just curious. Cartridges Of The World only mentiones the 160 gr JSP load as the original load. The 1894 gun was available in 32-40 and 38-55 cal about a year before the 30WCF (30-30) because of problems with barrel steel with the new smokeless loads, but no mention of lead bullets. The 30-40 Krag (and 303 British) was being loaded for a few years before the 30-30, and it was always a jacketed load also as I recall, the 30-30 wasn't the ground breaking cartridge in that respect.
As I recall, the NWMP (later to become the RCMP) used the 1876 model Winchester carbine, with the early type long wood forend like a military musket, in 45-75 cal. Madis in "The Winchester Book" doesn't state how loing they used them in active service that I could find in looking a minute ago. Could well be into the 20's. They later used the model 70 in 308 cal with some modifications.

As others have said, the 30-30 can do anything you need a rifle cartridge to do. Within its range, it is a fully capable hunting round. And a skilled rifleman armed with a 30-30 lever gun could handle any realistic personal defense scenario. In short, the 30-30 in a lever gun is a great and handy general purpose rifle. Maybe that is the very reason the 30-30 is demeaned by some. Its general utility is lost on newer generations of shooters who can choose from and afford a variety of specialized weapons.

A couple of years ago, I was in Alasksa. We were on a tour, and our driver was a real sourdough -- he had come in the early '60s and run a 150-mile trapline by dogsled.
He said the .30-30 was perfectly adequate for bear, "But you want to break the shoulder. Break the shoulder and you got him."

It's much better than most want to believe. In the world of the Magnum & big bores, it'll hold its own - with a competent rifleman. Always with a competent rifleman. :)
March 20, 2005, 10:05 PM
Well, I know what I read, but I didn't write it down not knowing a few years later I'd be posting on this board about now. I think it was in American Rifleman, or it might have been somewhere else. This is the problem with "collecting data".
Regarding the NWMP/RCMP, I was meaning the 1876 Winchester. They named three or four calibers on that show. I think you're right about .45-75.
Actually, as I recall, the 94 was available in .30WCF, .32WCF (.32Special), .38-55, and something else in the first ten years of production.
As for .303British, I've heard conflicting statements regarding original loadings. I've heard the old .303 Lee Metford used a 220gr cast lead over black powder and that was about the same time as they old straight-pull Lee Navy 6mm which was also cast lead and black powder.
March 20, 2005, 11:36 PM
I think you may be right about the 303 using a lead bullet. I vaguely recall something about a hardened lead bullet.
I just looked the 303 up in Cartridges of The World, it says the original load was a 215 gr round nosed cupro-nickel jacketed woth a compressed black powder charge.
Where did the hardened lead bullet come in? Taylor talked about a nitro load for the 450 black powder express, maybe that was it? Sad to get old, ain't it?
25-35 was the other caliber the 1894 was available in. I think 32 win Spl was the last one added to the lineup.

The 6mm Navy was never a black powder cartridge. BP would've fouled the bore into uselessness in a magazine or two. It used smokeless and jacketed bullets in all loads, and was introduced in 1895. It used a 112 grain bullet with a MV of 2560.

That's another case of "that's not what I read". And unlike one of my earlier posts here, I distinctly remember this one being in American Rifleman, but again, it was several years ago. They said the 6mm Lee Navy was a BIG problem because of the blackpowder fouling. It did foul the bore to uselessness very fast. To make matters worse, the Marine Corps at that time only issued the pull cord type cleaning kit which they couldn't get through a clogged bore. Now, to me, that sounds pretty dumb not to issue a cleaning rod. As for date of issue, I understood them to say it was some time between 1885 and 1890 in limited numbers and wasn't used for very long.

There are a lot of old wive's tales out there...
The Win. 1894 was chambered for, in order, .32-40 & .38-55, .30-30 & .25-35, .32 Winchester Special. Original bullets for the last three were all jacketed because that was the big marketing thing. AFTER release, there were many factory loads which included some "gallery" lead bullet loads. See John Kort on this, he's writing a book.
The Winchester 1876 SRC was used, in .45-75 chambering, by various organizations in Canada such as the Northwest Mounted Police from at least as early as 1878 to WWI.
Good to see you here Bill. Hope all is well.
The caption of this photo says the guns were used until 1914 that was the beginning of WWI for the British Commonwealth nations.

My grandfather always said that more deer have been killed with a 30-30 than any other caliber. He was probably right.
Neither of us has ever owned one-- but a LOT do.

IIRC the .30-.30 did time as a rifle caliber of the US army in WWI.
May not always be the perfect round, but it'll do for almost any need if the shooter is good.

IIRC the .30-.30 did time as a rifle caliber of the US army in WWI.
A small number of .30-30s were purchased for guards in the Pacific Northwest, but it was never used in quantity, nor in combat.
September 21, 2007, 12:15 PM
30-30 ranks anywhere from first to fifth in sales depending on what data you use and how you define you list.
In terms of rifle ammunition, 22 lr is far and away the most popular. 30-30, 30-06, 308, 223, 270 all fall into the top 10. Sales of 30-30 have been declining for the last 25 years, although it remains very popular. This is probably connected to the decline in sales of lever action rifles.
When I started hunting many years ago, the 30-30 lever gun was a fairly common sight in the gun shop and in the field. In the last few years, I've seen fewer and fewer in the gun shop, and none out hunting. Most people I know who have a 30-30 lever gun inherited it from an uncle, father or grandfather.
There's no question that the dominant hunting rifle is now the scopes turnbolt.
September 21, 2007, 12:27 PM
Not to steal the thread, but what are the first two? I'd imagine .30-06 and either .308 or .270.
I'd bet against you and go with .22lr as the most popular.
EDIT: Oops, GunTech beat me to it.
September 21, 2007, 01:29 PM
I grew up with the whole .30-30 levergun idea. When I got grown and found one I liked, I bought it... used. This is the one I talk about... made in 1971, which I fitted with a Lyman #2 tang sight. This rifle may or may not be a common sight in your area. Being that I'm 33 years old and use a .30-30 levergun, it seems I may be an oddity. On the other hand, another guy I was talking with recently... I think he's younger than me... said while he hunts with scoped crankbolts over bean fields, he also has a .30-30 levergun he's hunted with. I don't know whether he bought his or inherited it.

When Cady Briggs's great-aunt Vesta dies suddenly, shortly after postponing a merger between her own successful art gallery and an elite San Francisco competitor, Cady suspects foul play. She hires Mack Easton, a specialist in tracking stolen art and a man with whom she once shared a night of passion, to help solve the mystery of Vesta's death. With Mack posing as her fiancé, Cady digs behind the scenes of her family business, uncovering a ring of furniture counterfeiters that threatens to destroy Vesta's legacy.
Set in an rarefied milieu, Lost & Found offers a mini-education in such esoteric subjects as the market value of 16th-century Italian armor or 13th-century jewelry. But it's the lusty ambition of grasping art-world insiders that propels this well-crafted tale, so we don't mind the occasional didactic detour. And while the romance between Cady and Mack proceeds predictably, it is juicy and appealing enough to carry the story beyond the dubious dealings of the gallery owners.
Over time, as Cady and Mack uncover Vesta's deeply held secrets, Cady is forced to re-examine all that she holds dear. Was it a shadowy con man who killed Vesta, or someone Cady has known and loved for most of her life? A surprise ending caps this delightful mystery from a seasoned pro. (Putnam, $23.95)
Bottom Line: Welcome escape into art-world intrigue

As families face a new economic "normal," they are shifting toward a cultural change, perhaps permanent, that embraces being financially conservative. At home, this conservative behavior is illustrated by the rise in families who clip coupons, buy store brands, frequent discount stores, and delay purchases. Many family budgets now emphasize essential purchases, reducing debt and increasing savings, and limit treats and luxuries.

Why You Love Games
Cover Story: The 1UP community explains why they keep on playing.
hy do we play video games? What is it about this relatively new form of interactive entertainment that manages to occupy so much of our time? Was there ever a time in our lives where we fell out of love with games, only to come back years later and rekindle the relationship? For many of us, it was love at first sight from the moment we first laid our paws onto a controller. For others, it took a very specific experience to finally make us realize that this was the medium for us. While we all have our own specific reasons, we here at 1UP were particularly interested in hearing back from the community on why they do what they do. Here's how they responded.
Matt Thompson aka TripOpt55
I have been playing games since I was young, but there was a time during high school and early in college that I just sort of didn't play them as much. Other hobbies kind of took over my time during those years. There are a couple of games I always credit for changing me from the guy who at that time played a few games a year into the one that plays many more and also follows all the news and writes about them online. The games I'm talking about are Jak 3 and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Both were platformers, but Jak 3 had all these varied gameplay types and SoT was very much an action/adventure game as well. And these helped push me towards trying more games than just my typical platformer and sports games of the time. From this point on, gaming became a much bigger deal to me. So not only do Jak 3 and Sands of Time stand as two of my all-time favorites because they are excellent games, but also because they helped to reignite my love of games that just hadn't been quite the same for a while.
Casey aka Epic Greenman
I replayed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic a lot after I first beat it. I am talking about beating the game at least once a month for well over a year. I always loved watching something a second time and catching a joke or reference I missed before. Knights of the Old Republic, brought this to a new extreme. Even without its moral choices and different classes, it would still find ways to make replaying worth it.
My favorite of them was being the arbiter (read: lawyer) to a republic soldier named Sunry for being accused of murder. The first time, I did a terrible job and he was sentenced to execution. After that, I was able to save him. It was not until I was on my seventh playthrough, however, that I decided to go to a Republic base during his mission. It was there I found a recording of him murdering the victim. It let me catch something in a way only a videogame could do. It was not the only example of this. To discover something new that changes the outcome of a story is one of the many reasons I love video games.
M Snee aka Sneelantern
I love games for one simple reason: they take me to places far away from the real world. Sure, they're fun, and thrilling, and intellectually captivating, but what I really want is to be taken away to far off places unlike everything I've ever known. I remember playing Sega Genesis sidescrollers back when I was a kid, and staring with longing at the 2D backgrounds of sparkling cities and remote villages, wondering, "What kind of place is that? What kind of people live there? What are their stories?" Whether it was Sonic the Hedgehog or Last Battle, I always wanted to disappear into these worlds.
With the advance of technology, we've gotten closer to actually travelling to these worlds: instead of just smashing goombas in Super Mario Bros, now you can talk to them in Sticker Star or The Thousand Year Door, and find they are creatures with their own personalities. As AI progresses, this will get even more exciting.
But it was always the worlds of Final Fantasy that captured my imagination most; in Final Fantasy VII's decaying world or the tragic waters of Final Fantasy X. These characters become so real, and their homes become so diverse, that it was hard not to be carried away. And that's what I like, to be carried away.
John Learned aka kidgorilla7
I think it's really hard to qualify why people love playing games so much in basic terms like "I do it because of this," or "I love it because of that," until very recently. Up until a few years ago, I played games because it's just what I did; I discovered playing them as a young child and continued (with a very brief hiatus in college) all the way through adulthood. Did I "love" them? Sure, but it was just the pastime I preferred above other things like watching movies or playing sports. Granted, it was a preference that I took very seriously, but still just something I took enjoyment in sort of part-time. Then I got diagnosed with lymphoma.
Cancer, no matter what type you can have, is sort of a physically passive experience. The adage that it's 90% mental is completely true, because you either go to get treatment or you wind up like Warren Zevon and refuse it. How you participate in the emotional and mental difficulty is the real challenge. The people you gather around you and the support you are gifted from them are a large part of how you can deal with the treatment, but not the only way. Eventually, a patient has to figure out on their own how to deal with themselves, as strange as that sounds, and this is especially frustrating deeper into chemotherapy and/or radiation when you're body doesn't behave like you want it to. For whatever reason, during the early stages of chemo, I started my second playthrough of Demon's Souls, and it became my coping mechanism.
My first trip through DS was very difficult; the game was still new so there wasn't a lot of wiki information on the internet yet, and knowing how punishing the game was, I felt that I wanted to handle it myself like a big boy (no co-op, no walkthroughs). This was a huge mistake, but it was a good learning experience. Subconsciously, I looked at the game during a particularly dark period of my life as a complex, almost abstract problem that I knew that I could overcome, and that spoke to me. I spent months playing it, especially on weekends in my post-chemo malaise, with multiple runs and character builds because I wanted to break the game over my knee and show it what's what. I know that sounds like an absurd metaphor, but that's exactly what happened.
I've been playing games a long time, and I suppose I could tell you how much I loved the NES Ninja Gaiden as a kid or my profound experiences with Phantasy Star II. But that's not love, that's enjoyment. I love video games because they were there for me when I needed them, I guess. That's as a good a reason as any.
Chris aka GoAztecs
"Why do you play with video games?" A question many of us hear a lot. To many, video games seem like a waste of time, something that children do, and eventually grow out of. To those I respond with "Why do you watch movies, listen to music, and read a book?" We all spend our time getting lost in various types of media, and video games are no different.
After a day at work, nothing beats sitting down, and getting lost in various fantasy worlds where you can save the princess, lead your favorite team to a championship, or flinging round birds into poorly constructed shelters. A lot of the same aspects that we enjoy in other forms of media, we enjoy in video games. I play video games as an escape from the everyday world. For an hour or so a day, I can be the little plumber looking for the princess, lead a team to the Super Bowl, or slingshot round birds at green pigs. This is why I play video games.
Games have been my comfort food sometimes. Even though the more emotionally busy times of my life are when I play games the least, they're always something I keep in my company. I've had love (and love lost) glue itself to some of my gaming experiences, for better or worse, depending on the relationship or the lingering residuals.
The way songs or lyrics can remind you of someone, strike a nerve or hit a soft spot, games were sometimes the background noise to my life. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, to me, will forever be the game that got me through a breakup in 2005. I was drunk driving in pimped out lowriders, banging hookers, living life like a straight up G, and keeping it MOB for a good couple of weeks. It was like that buddy who'll take you out, buy you a pitcher, and tell you she's not worth it.
I'm a huge '90s hip-hop head and I remember that game the way I remember the late, great Nate Dogg. Who knows how my rebound would have gone if I'd chosen to take the much heavier MGS3 off my back burner instead? Betrayal, blondes, tearjerkers, and trying to aim...I doubt it would have went well.
Ben Sprague aka BrokenH
It's a simple question to ask, really. Why do I love games? Why haven't I finally "grown up" and turned in my Peter Pan duds and my pixie dust? By now gaming is akin to an unsightly scar I'm proud of. Sure, not every lady or fellow I come across is going to be wooed and taken in by it yet I can still make up a ridiculous number of absurd stories about how I got it and why it makes me that much more interesting as a person!
Games serve many purposes for me. There are instances they provide me with inspiration for my own ideas. When situations in my life were sad or frustrating games were my key outlets for self therapy and healthy escapism. Lastly, I love games because they gave me something to talk about with other people. If not for gaming I never would have visited 1UP and I never would have befriended so many wonderful people! Strange as it is to acknowledge, games have aided me in coming out of my shell. For all the talks about gamers being shut-ins and basement dwellers it's ironic that I'm the contrasting opposite polarity of the usual stereotype. Put simply, games made me more social. Furthermore, I do not believe I'm the only one experiencing this phenomenon!
As much as I joke about "the gaming underground" and how today's generation doesn't know what it is to be "hardcore," I'm glad gamers are more accepted today than they were during my high school years. I don't believe anyone should be ashamed of being a gamer so long as they're good people overall. Gaming is something we do but regardless of the games we play the actual hobby doesn't always define who we are. Even the media is catching on to this very fact and it is a progressive push forward for all of us!

Great answers. Gaming is one of the few pastimes that is both passive/relaxing, but also makes you feel like you've accomplished something impressive. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I win a match of CoD or earn a secret achievement in ACIII. It's not only the reward-feedback games themselves provide, but the actual skill it takes to do well. There is no inherent skill or pride in something like watching a TV show. That's why gaming, as a hobby, should be more closely associated to sports than watching TV. Obviously not physically, but in the rush and sense of worth games can provide, as well as their skill requirement.

When you're climbing a clocktower of spinning gears and the screen is full of medusa heads and you can't fall whatever you do because that means instant death and you manage at last to make it to the top (after jumping across some swinging pendulums) and the boss appears and you only have a quarter of your health and your jumping around like a mad man and some how you manage to dodge most of the attacks and your whip is flying and axes are arcing through the air to rain down like terrible justice upon your foes and just when it looks like all your efforts were for naught - when you have only one bar left - you strike the fatal blow and the boss explodes in flames and that red orb falls from the sky - yes THEN, when that happens, you feel so good.

The Legacies of Jean-Luc Godard
Paper 274 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$48.99 $36.74
The artistic impact of Jean-Luc Godard, whose career in cinema has spanned over fifty years and yielded a hundred or more discrete works in different media cannot be overestimated, not only on French and other world cinemas, but on fields as diverse as television, video art, gallery installation, philosophy, music, literature, and dance.
The Legacies of Jean-Luc Godard marks an initial attempt to map the range and diversity of Godard's impact across these different fields. It contains reassessments of key films like Vivre sa vie and Passion as well as considerations of Godard's influence over directors like Christophe Honoré. Contributors look at Godard's relation to philosophy and influence over film philosophy through reference to Wittgenstein, Deleuze, and Cavell, and show how Godard's work in cinema interacts with other arts, such as painting, music, and dance. They suggest that Godard's late work makes important contributions to debates in memory and Holocaust Studies.
The volume will appeal to a non-specialist audience with its discussions of canonical films and treatment of themes popular within film studies programs such as cinema and ethics. But it will also attract academic specialists on Godard with its chapters on recent works, including Dans le noir du temps (2002) and Voyage(s) en utopie (2006), interventions in long-running academic debates (Godard, the Holocaust, and anti- Semitism), and treatment of rarely discussed areas of Godard's work (choreographed movement).
Douglas Morrey is an associate professor of French at the University of Warwick. He is the author of Jean-Luc Godard (2005) and the co-author of Jacques Rivette (2009). He is currently researching the legacy of the New Wave in French cinema.
Christina Stojanova is an associate professor in film and media studies at the University of Regina. She is the co-editor, with Bela Szabados, of Wittgenstein at the Movies (2011). She is currently working on her book on new Romanian cinema.
Nicole Côté is an associate professor at Université de Sherbrooke. She is a member of VERSUS, a group researching representations intersecting race/gender/ class in literature, video, and cinema. She has published several articles and book chapters, edited two shortstory anthologies, and co-edited three books, most recently, Expressions culturelles des francophonies (2008).

What Students Say About Online Classes
"I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC."—F. Robertson

Lot # 1673 (of 1673) < Previous Lot |
1975 First "Ft. Washington-Willow Grove" Baseball Card Show Sign and Program (Proceeds to Charity)
Starting Bid - $250.00 , Sold For - $1,057.50
All of the proceeds from this lot including the buyer's premium will be donated to charity. Presented is one of the two surviving original signs that were produced for use at the first "Willow Grove Show" (which for the first few years was actually held at Spring Garden College in Chestnut Hill, Pa.) and the convention program from that historic event. These items were saved by REA president Robert Lifson, who attended the show, had one of the few tables, and prepared a special display of nineteenth-century baseball memorabilia at the show entrance to expose collectors and the public to early material. This sign, and the other one just like it, were saved as keepsakes by Lifson.
"I knew it was an important show. I'm not sure I knew how important, but it was clear that show promoters Bob Schmeirer, Ted Taylor, and the collectors attending were making history. It was a big deal to us. It was an exciting time. Being a saver of just about everything, and appreciating being part of the event, and naturally wanting to preserve history, I kept the signs instead of letting them get thrown away when I was dissembling my nineteenth-century display after the show ended. Because I put on the display, I was really the last to leave. I've always had a sense of history, even when I was a kid. I had no idea at the time that the show would grow to such great importance in collecting history, or that the baseball collecting field would continue to grow so much in popularity, but when I was leaving I looked at these signs and I thought that it was important for someone to save them. About five or six years ago, I went to the Fort Washington show and presented the other sign to Bob Schmeirer. Boy, was he surprised, and I can't blame him. Who saves an old convention sign? Let alone for decades. I'm not sure how many people would have happened to save the program either but of course these were distributed. There are a lot of great old names in this program, and some of these collectors are still around. I don't know what to do with these items. By auctioning them, we get to document and share their history with collectors that are interested, and preserve the history of the first Philadelphia convention, including every page of the program online, forever for collectors to enjoy. I see that one of the door prizes was a 1953 Whitey Lockman Stahl-Meyer Meats card donated by me. I don't remember the door prizes, or even being asked to contribute, but I have to laugh at my item. At the time I had just purchased about fifty Stahl-Meyer Meats cards, all of Whitey Lockman, all in Mint condition, from a single find direct from someone that worked at the printing plant. Even today, Lockman is more common than any of the other Stahl-Meyers in Mint condition. These are hard to find today, but in 1975, I really had too many. I still don't know how I was able to find a home for fifty-three Whitey Lockmans. It's funny for me to see that I was able to give one away as a door prize."
All of the proceeds from this lot including the buyer's premium will be donated to The Smile Train, a charity devoted to providing children with life-changing surgeries to correct easily-remedied birth defects, in many cases in as little as 45 minutes and at a cost of as little as $250, literally saving them from a lifetime of pain and suffering. For more information on The Smile Train, please visit www.SmileTrain.org or call 1-877-543-7645. Over the past seven years, this organization has been responsible for providing over 250,000 life-changing surgeries, dramatically changing and improving the lives of children less fortunate. It seems most fitting that the sale of items relating to baseball-card collecting, which was intended to bring joy to children, should play a role in contributing to the well being of children today. Whoever wins this lot, the one thing that is certain is that all of the proceeds will go toward making the lives of children in need brighter and healthier. To every bidder on this lot, whether you are the final winner or not, you are making an equally significant contribution. The winner of this lot will make the check (which is tax-deductible) payable directly to "The Smile Train." In addition, REA will make a matching donation. Reserve $250. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $1,057.50
