The Standard (Yep Roc Records)
With a name like that, you know it's gonna be heavy.
[DARK POP] It would be easy to call the Standard bandwagon-hoppers. Through the band's six-year lifespan, it has shifted its sound as often as you're supposed to flip your mattress. The band's earliest recordings, 2000's World's Greatest and 2001's self-titled release, were distortion-heavy, classic-rock-inspired guitar epics; 2002's August and 2003's Promise saw the band turning into a melodic and melancholy prog-rock band, while last year's Wire Post to Wire was all jagged post-punk. Notice a trend? That's right: This band is in step with every major trend in the indie-rock world of the past five years. But lest you think the Standard a band of copycatting hipsters, keep in mind that each of these releases predated and mutated the more standard sounds that emerged from those trends. The Standard is simply on the cutting edge, its catalog held together by meticulous instrumentation, the increasingly profound production of Jeff Saltzman and Tim Putnam's unmistakable warbling vocals jabbing violently above and into all that music. On the band's latest, Albatross, that voice is not only the thread that keeps the album together; it is the emotional core of the music, the only thing that really matters, but certainly not the only thing worth listening to. The band has coalesced around this, its greatest asset, and created some of the darkest, yet most beautiful music of its career. Songs like "How Deep to Cut" and the excellent "Feet and Hands" are brooding, rhythm-heavy tracks backing Putnam's stories, hooking the listener with simple repetition before Putnam breaks away, the musical acrobats-strengthened by five years of experimenting with sound-crescendoing before Putnam's voice returns, even more fragile and vital. Vulnerable and dark, this is the sound of 2006. MARK BAUMGARTEN.
Fleshtone | Sept. 23 at Holocene
Portland's oddest storytellers lose their audience to the boobs.
Even for something as unconventional as an electro-pop opera, Fleshtone, which is performed regularly at Holocene (1001 SE Morrison St., 239-7639), is unexpectedly odd. Last Friday, three women in skimpy red leotards hopped into water-filled buckets and slowly rubbed wet sponges over their bodies. In the background, a makeup-laden man hunched over a Mac and a table full of drum machines and instruments producing upbeat pop-electronic music. And then a grown man in a diaper entered the frame.
The most interesting thing about that show, even taking into consideration the giant diaper, is the fact that it was an entirely different beast than the local performance crew's debut on June 4, or any of the other shows since.
As a work-in-progress, each Fleshtone spectacle varies from its prior incarnation, as the writers and performers-led by the Snuggle Ups' Brett Whitman and diaper-clad Joe Bryan-continuously add to the story. While the show's debut followed the life and death of Momma Fleshtone, each subsequent show has featured an added scene of her rebirth while deleting another scene, resulting in a consistent hourlong run-time for each show.
Yes, it's an ambitious narrative arc for an electro-pop opera. Yes, it's a multisensory feast that has featured genitalia-exposing hot-dog costumes, oversized metallic jungle gyms, precision choreography and outfits from both Ziggy Stardust and Eminem's closet. And no, it doesn't really jell.
While the male-heavy, slack-jawed crowd seemed largely entertained by Friday's show, the shout-outs were reserved for its softcore porn moments. But it wasn't just approval of the visually explicit-nods were issued when Momma Fleshtone waxed poetic about her clitoris or told her hungry man-child, "Get your thumbs off my titties." Why? Because, as we all know, boobies are hysterical, which is ultimately the catch-22 of something as ambitious and unreserved as Fleshtone. While the larger story and concept are present, and should be applauded, any attempt to appreciate or relay it is lost in the emphasis on skinny girls wearing weird-ass shit. KARLA STARR.

"I go to the comic book store almost every single week," Rogen, 28, said while promoting his upcoming superhero action-comedy The Green Hornet at San Diego's Comic-Con International. "I have thousands of comic books. I read very few books without pictures of men in tights in them."
Rogen's been amazed by the ever-increasing hipness factor of comics and graphic novels, remembering the days not so long ago when reading them wasn't considered cool.
"It's great, but it's very weird that people know who Deadpool is," he told PEOPLE. "It's weird that's a part of the culture now, that all the nerdy things that me and [longtime friend and Green Hornet co-writer] Evan Goldberg talk about are the things that everyone talks about, and it's weird that it's kind of a part of pop culture.
"I guess it was only a matter of time before visual FX caught up with some of these ideas, but it's really gratifying and cool. It's like when you liked a band and then they got famous. It was like us and 'The X-Men.' So it's cool that it's finally out there, and it's fun to be able to participate in it. "
One aspect of his nerdy roots that Rogen thinks may endure: the possibility of being beaten up by a girl – namely, his costar Cameron Diaz.
"I think that Cameron could kick the s-- out of me. Personally," he said, laughing. "She's extremely fit. She has long legs. She has reach, incredible leg reach. She surfs and has great stamina. So she could whip my ass good, I'll tell you that. "

MOBILE, Alabama – Portable toilets might be just as important to the city's Mardi Gras scene as Moon Pies, floats and beads.
It's also an annual taxpayer expense.
The Mobile City Council will vote Tuesday on a $30,380 contract with United Site Services of Mississippi LLC, to handle the placement of 213 portable toilets throughout the city from Jan. 25 to Feb. 12.
The company offered the lowest of four bids, with the highest proposal costing about $40,000. They will provide the same number of portable toilets that have been available during recent Mardi Gras seasons.
The contract calls for United Site Services to furnish the units with toilet paper, soap or alcohol gel, and to clean them daily. Also, the company will have to remove the toilets and ensure the site around each one of them is clean once Mardi Gras season is over.
"This is a continuation of something we do every year to accommodate the crowds we experience," Brad Christensen, director of the city's architectural engineering department, said today. "We try to put these facilities throughout the city where we know the crowds are heaviest. This year is the same as other years that we do this."
But the flu epidemic inflicting the U.S. might prompt the council to look at further ways to ensure people remain sick free during Mardi Gras.
Council President Reggie Copeland said a contract amendment could be considered to make sure hand sanitizers are added to the toilets.
"Certainly we need to talk about it," Copeland said. "It's a bad epidemic."
Alabama is one of 29 states experiencing high levels of influenza or influenza-like illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hospitals throughout the U.S. are seeing a spike in patients coming to emergency rooms as a result of the flu outbreak.
Casandra Andrews, spokeswoman with the Mobile County Health Department, said environmental enforcement officers will inspect portable toilet issues within the city limits during the Carnival season.
The department is encouraging attendees to take precautions, since large gatherings like Mardi Gras parades can be attractive places for flu-like symptoms to spread.
Mardi Gras lands in the heart of cold and flu season, health officials said. Typically, reports of flu cases don't begin to dwindle until the end of March.
"When using public restrooms, it's always a good idea to carry a bottle of hand sanitizer to use if soap and water aren't available," Andrews said.
If the city opts to spend additional money for hand sanitizers, it wouldn't be the first time. In 1997, amid fears of a hepatitis virus outbreak during Mardi Gras, the City Council spent more than $4,000 on alcohol-gel dispensers so parade-goers could wash their hands after using portable toilets.
Also this year, the Health Department will inspect portable toilets on parade floats. That practice has taken place since 2002, when local health officials sent letters to area Carnival associations directing their members to develop sanitary ways of collecting and disposing urine and other waste on floats.
Dr. Stephanie Woods-Crawford, director of food and lodging with the health department, said they are recommending floats have sanitizer and that kitty litter is poured into buckets to absorb urine.
"We have in the past held up some of the floats," she said. "We go out early enough (before a parade) to make sure they have what they need on them."
Christensen said he's confident United Site Services will keep their facilities clean during the season. The company has provided portable toilets to Mobile during past events.
"It's a straight forward thing," he said.

Pregnant, Have an Baby, or Looking For a Great Baby Gift!?
"The LullaBible is a great gift for first-time mommies, baptisms, or dedications.
This precious book and CD is a must-have for every nursery. Because each of the lullabies delivers a message of God's love from the Bible, little ones can fall asleep listening to the comforting assurance of God's promises.
Beautifully illustrated, the LullaBible is a timeless treasury of stories and verses for parents and children to share."(thomasnelson.com)
This Bible is exactly what my husband and I were looking for when our first son was born! There are several great Toddler Bibles available but one for infants is, for obvious reasons, much harder to find. I was very excited to check out the Lulla Bible when I received one from Thomas Nelson's Tommy Mommy group.
My favorite aspects of the Lulla Bible were that it comes with a sweet CD of hymns and bible songs to play for your little one. Soft music is apart of both of our boys 'sleep routine' at night and I loved that they included this great CD in the Lulla Bible. I also really enjoyed how within the pages are places for the parents to write personalized prayers for their baby. This is a great resource to guide parents into praying over their child from birth! The pages are also full of beautiful illustrations to capture your baby's attention as they grow older and are able to sit and begin listening to the short stories and prayers. I have seen no other Bible so perfect for ages 0-4 that include stories, poems, prayers and lyrics to the lullabies found of the full length cd included.
This week, Tommy Nelson Publishing is partnering with Cheerios and Lattes
to give you the chance to win
a Lulla Bible by Stephen Elkins!
The giveaway is open to residents of the US, 18 years old and older, and will end on February 4rd at 12 am CST. I will contact the winner by email and they will have 48 hours to respond before a new winner will be chosen.
Disclosure: I receive free products and giveaway for being apart of the Tommy Mommy from Thomas Nelson publishers. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Zach and Colton Swon weren't just pretty sure they didn't stand a chance to win "The Voice."
They were all but dead certain.
"Honestly, we thought our chances were slim to none," Zach Swon said.
Instead, the duo from Muskogee, Okla., finished third on the hit NBC singing competition's fourth season, which ended in June.
Now, they're heading to Amarillo for a concert presented by the St. Andrew's Episcopal School parents' auxiliary.
The concert, which will be opened by Amarillo singer Zac Wilkerson, will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, 500 S. Buchanan St.
"We're thrilled to be offering the Amarillo community a quality family event with the third-place winners of the fourth season of 'The Voice,'" headmaster Ron Ferguson said in September.
Since the show wrapped, the duo has been going "90 to nothing," Colton Swon said.
"We took two days to go home and do laundry, and then we took our tails to Nashville," he said.
They joined up with the William Morris Agency for booking soon after exiting the show, and on Nov. 1, Sony Music Nashville signed them to a recording contract.
But when the duo auditioned for the show, they said they weren't looking for such major changes.
"We wanted to get on TV enough to get a little exposure and get a few more people to our shows," Zach Swon said. "But something happened — and we don't know exactly what it was, but it was a good thing — and we connected with a lot of fans."
They had every reason to believe, though, that they wouldn't last long on the show.
After all, The Thompson Sisters were eliminated in the quarterfinals in Season 1, two duos were eliminated in the Battle Rounds in Season 2, another duo was booted in the Season 3 Battle Rounds, and the Swons' Season 4 fellow duo The Morgan Twins also didn't make it out of the Battle Rounds.
"We had heard lots of horror stories that duos don't get very far," Zach Swon said.
But gambling on the show still seemed like a good bet after a life spent pursuing Nashville dreams.
"Me and my brother have made many trips to this town since we were kids," Colton Swon said.
Those trips were made between gigs around Oklahoma and Arkansas.
"We kept busy enough to pay our bills," Zach Swon said. "That's what we love to do. ... Now, we've got a larger audience and are connecting with lots of people through the show."
The brothers had nothing but compliments for the show that thrust them into the national spotlight and for Blake Shelton, their mentor.
"With Blake, what you see is what you get," Colton Swon said. "We actually were leery about what these megastars would be like behind the scenes, but Blake Shelton is genuine, he's real, and I'll say that to the day I die.
"After the show, he didn't have to call us or text us, but he still does," Colton Swon continued. "He's just a normal guy like anybody else, and he still acts that way."
Now, the duo continues to work on its debut CD: "We've got some good things happening, for sure. We're writing like crazy and taking our time, but we're still going to get something out pretty quickly," Colton Swon said.
Behind the scenes, Zach Colton said the brothers are introducing themselves to country music radio programmers.
"We're very blessed for everything we did on 'The Voice,' but it's almost as if we're starting over from scratch here," he said.
"Radio is a different beast," he continued. "One thing country fans can see through is someone not being who they really are ... so we want to make sure whenever (the album) comes out, it comes out right."

I went down to AutoZone and got their second largest deep cycle marine battery for field recharging. But I don't really understand the ratings on them.
If I got a deep cycle marine battery with 750 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) does that mean that I can pull 750 amps out of that thing when recharging my packs? I have a two 6S 5000 mah packs run in series for a 12S 5000 mah pack.
How many times could I recharge that thing from this marine battery, and how FAST can I charge it with this DUO charger off of a Deep Cycle battery... in other words, are there any amp draw restrictions?
The marine battery is only 12 volts, and my pack is 4 times that. How does the lipo voltage difference affect how much amperage gets put back into these lipo packs?
First off that sounds like a combination starting / deep cycle which is really not what you need. You need a striaght Deep Cycle and yes they are different.
Learn about Pb batteries here:
Cold cranking amp means nothing for our use. The important number is RC .
My 125Ah are 310 RC. This means they can supply 25A cont. for 210 minutes before reaching 10.5 under taht load.
Chargers step up the volts. A 6S LiPoly =25.2V and 5000 mAh (5Ah) at 1C is 5A.
5X25.2=126 watts per battery. If Pb holds 12.2 under load then 126/12.2=10.32 amps. (load). Chargers are not 100% efficient so it will take more than this per charge.
As a guide line 2300 mAh A123 Rracing cells require approx. 0.66Ah per cell per charge,so a 6S A123 2300 requires 3.96Ah per charge.
Hmm. I read through that page, Everydayflyer. I'm going to need to look at my battery, it may be a hybrid. I just want to know how many times I can safely draw these packs from the marine battery. I'll find out exact specs and post them later.
Another approach that perhaps is simpler for you to understand.
3SLiPoly equals 12.6V same as fully charged deep cycle.
5000 mAh = 5Ah so ruffly charging 3S5000 mAh would require 5Ah fro deep cycle.
You have 12 cells so 4X5=20Ah per charge plus extra which is used by charger(not 100% efficient). ball park figure. each 12S 5000 mAh charge will require 25Ah from your deep cycle.
Big electrics require a lot of Ahs to charge their batteries and that is why I have two 125Ah in parallel as my field power source.
So according to that page you posted, if your battery is a deep cycle you can go down to as low as 20% draw, which means with your 125 you'd be able to get 4 charges roughly for my 12S 5A pack. 4 charges at 25 A= 100 amps drawn, which leaves 25 Amps on the source battery.
Whereas if you had a regular battery or hybrid, you'd only be able to regularly get down to the 50% draw, so I'd only be able to charge that 12S pack 2 times before I start hurting the car battery. 3 times would put it down to 40%ish, which would probably be okay, but not if I did it frequently.
Is that an accurate evaluation?
That sucks for me. If the battery I bought isn't truly a deep cycle battery (and that write-up says there's no way of really knowing without ripping the battery apart due to false advertising by most marine battery manufacturers), that means I can only fly this thing at the field twice, and it won't leave me much juice to charge other packs.
So I need another field charger. Any recommendations for a TRUE deep cycle battery that I can use to feed my new 0610i Duo Hyperion charger? (see how I threw the charger name in like that so people would think I'm still on thread topic? )
My Deep cyle duel Thread

My 125Ah have 310 RC only. 25AX3.5hrs.(210min) =87.5 Ah at that load.
The 125Ah capacity would be at approx. the 20 hr. rate (6amps.) .Rememer I said the RC number is the one most important to us.
For decent life no Deep cycle should be discharged great than 50%. Discharging 80% means a soon death and 100% is a sure way to need new ones very frequently.
You won't be pulling 750 amps charging your batteries
Your looking for a stat called "Amp Hours" it should be on your battery somewhere. For instance 50 amps hours, you would be able to pull 50 amps on that battery for 1 hour. In reality you don't want to discharge your deep cycle fully, I would say never go below 40 percent charge for the longest life.
Anyway for some easy calculations if you will want to convert everything to the same unit of measure. In this case we will use watt hours. Assuming 13.2 volts at 50 amp hours we get (13.2 x 50) 660 watt hours.
To fully charge a 6 cell Lipo lets assume 4000mah and we will putting 80 percent back into the pack (3200mah or 3.2amp hours). Assume 22.2 volts for the 6 cell pack that gives us (3.2 x 22.2) 71.4 watt hours per charge. Also assume you will lose some energy in the charging process due to running the charger itself. So assume about 75 watt hours per charge.
Now keeping to the 40 percent rule a fully charged 50 amp deep cycle battery is good for about 5 charges.
Many found out quickly that a charger such as the TP1010C (220 watts) would suck their deep cycles dry in short order charging big packs wide open at that was only 5amps. for a 10S LiPoly.

I got charged shipping when I got my 1210i from AlleRC, but I also requested faster shipping than normal, and I guess I missed the free shipping deal.
The 610I Duo chargers are on their way to us via FedEx.. we hope to receive them here at ALL e RC some time this Friday.
Silent, you are correct.. our policy has always been free STANDARD shipping on any order over $100 going to any USA address. We also offer other options for faster delivery, but since that increases our shipping costs, the 'free shipping' does not apply in that case. Standard shipping is generally either USPS 1st Class, Priority, or UPS Ground, dependent on the size and/or weight of the packaged order. All orders received before 3 PM on any weekday are shipped that same day. Orders arriving over the weekend (when we're closed) are actually processed on Sunday night for shipment on Monday.
What is going to be the price? Same as Aircraft-World? $269?
Yeah, bummer. I should have waited and ordered from allerc. Ah well, such is life. $25 isn't gonna kill me - though it's that attitude that gets me paying extra for everything I order, which is a lot when you add it all up. If Allerc had known when the Duos were coming when I called last week, I'd have waited, but they didn't. Could have been weeks, could have been more.
Regardless, I'm excited about the product. Now if we could get them to make a 0610i QUAD. I could throw out my PolyCharge4 altogether. As is, when at the field charging, 4 packs at a time is the norm for me.
The 610 Duo's have landed.. now available on our web site at www.allerc.com .

Gold Plated Face
Tuareg EP
Press pack
The desert seems to be a not very inspirational and a lifeless place, but as many other harsh places, it is a living ecosystem. Initially Tuareg was supposed to be a custom-made sound installation created in the surround system. Eventually it became a closed form with its own sound narration just like a screenplay of the non-existent but easy to imagine film. This films allows us to experience a lonely night, full of life which surrounds us; a cold night where a sound becomes a medium which allows us to feel the diversity of the life existing on the desert. Than at the down the day begins which is hard to withstand and is full of extreme phenomena. It is represented by the strength of sweltering heat, wind and sand.
Jarek Grzesica (GPF) about the album: "Tuareg EP was composed between March 2010 and October 2011. The work was divided into three stages. In the first state I tried to create a desert ecosystem illustrating it with the sounds which imitate desert life in a micro scale. In the second stage I tried to concentrate on the macro elements such as sand dunes, sand flow and contact with the elements. This part was mainly based on the sound synthesis. In the last stage I tried to find the balance of the micro and macro-cosmos of the desert ecosystem and providing it with the subjective dimension, listening abilities of the person constantly existing in the desert surroundings, the Tuareg, who is the representative of the people who live in harmony with the harsh desert environment."
The cover art painting representing the Tuareg in the surrounding of the symbolic elements was painted by Artur Endler (Artefilos)

Yes, the real Dirk.
I've seen that show. The portions where he is talking to the PBS host are typical: PBS is hawking his products as a fundraising tool. Boring, but doesn't really bother me.
The "meat" of the show is him explaining his program to a studio audience. I found that part quite interesting. PBers would find plenty to criticize, such as his acceptance of brown rice and beans. But he has a lot of good information too, like avoiding processed foods and anything with sweeteners, especially sugar and HFCS. He also pushes whole, fresh foods.
I'd say that his program, while far from perfect, is miles ahead of the SAD. I'll stick with the PB, but wonder if Hyman might be useful as a "halfway house" for people who are interested in improving their diet but are put off by the ancestral programs.
Live your life and love your life. It's the only one you get.

Hi Kate. Were back from the cabin. Quick trip. Were pretty
Customer Question
Hi Kate. We're back from the cabin. Quick trip. We're pretty beat. I actually got a lot of work work done last night after everyone else was asleep. Then they all got up before 5:30 and I slept till 9:00. Oops.
I have a question: I am assuming, as I keep feeling worse about all this, I assume there will be a bottom point and then it will start feeling better. Is that assumption correct? If so, will I know when I hit that point?
Also - do you think we're doing the right thing in therapy - me telling it out loud and exploring my feelings about every little thing? Why is it so much harder for me to tell it verbally than it was when I wrote it out and let her read it?
On Friday, I just told her about the mean one having sex with me the first time. But that was really difficult for me and I felt awful. Linda said a few times that I didn't have sex with him, he r***d me. I told her it still is sex when it comes down to it, but I wish there was a different word for it to differentiate it from a voluntary situation.
I feel so bad about what happened. I am
about it. My heart feels heavy. I felt so detached the last 2 weeks and then I tell one part of the thing Friday and bam - I have all these feelings again. I feel loss. But I don't know specifically what loss I feel. What
I lose? I feel used and upset that I know that I can be put in a position of having no control and being there strictly for the pleasure and use of someone. That doesn't jive with my self image that I am important and valuable. I had no value at that time. I was a play thing for 2 people. I was a thing almost, not a person. And when I was most lik a person during the whole thing, I jut did things to please them, affirming to them I had no individual value and was there for their pleasure and fun. I feel bad about this. It is hard to accept that I can be (and was) reduced to that. I'm not sure exactly what the feelings are. They're just bad.
Sorry. I just am feeling ba an I'm trying to figure it out.

Hi Shay,
Your back already! That was a fast trip but you did a lot in those few days. I bet you are tired, but maybe a good kind of tired?!
There really isn't a bottom in therapy as far as my experience goes. It's more about exploration and insight. Remember the time you had the realization with Dr. M? That is what I am talking about. You may feel bad, cry, feel down, anxious or angry. And sometimes you will feel raw. But it is not really considered a bottom, not like in alcoholism for example.
Exploring your story in therapy is a good option. But the only way to tell if it works for you is to evaluate it along the way. No technique in therapy is a surefire thing. And everyone is different. So something that works for one person does not really work for another. I know that is not the concrete answer you were looking for, but feelings and people are not that predictable.
If you feel exploring your story in therapy is making you too upset, angry or overwhelmed, then you may want to re evaluate doing it. The balance is to find a way to express what you need to express but not re traumatize yourself.
I'm not sure why it was easier for you to write your story out than to say it. It could be that writing it provided some distance emotionally for you. Telling it requires you to say it out loud, making it more real. You don't have time to step back and protect yourself. It's right there out in the open.
Breaking down the attack and saying it was sex rather than rape does what for you? If it was sex, how does that make you feel? And if you feel you consented to it, then why think about it? People who agree to have sex with someone do not usually feel bothered about it afterwards. They just do it and move on. So there must be a reason that you are going back to what happened and feeling bad about it. I do understand why you feel that way, but it helps you to reason it out.
You did lose a lot that night. You lost your boundaries, your sex life, your peace of mind, your innocence, your control and your self in a way, just for that night. When someone is traumatized, they lose that part of themselves that can feel safe and has certain boundaries with the world. The right to themselves, body and soul. The loss may be for one night, or it could be for years at a time. But it is a loss and because of that, it can cause you to grieve. But you can also gain in ways that you never would have otherwise as well. You become stronger because of your survival. And that is important to recognize. There is a balance.

Wow. Okay. I didn't say I felt it was consensual. In fact, I think I specifically Said I wished there was another word for it besides "sex" when it is involuntary. I don't see it the same as when I chose to have sex with my HS boyfriend. But it did involve sex. I didnt say it wasn't rape. But rape necessarily involves sex They were inside of me. The mean one was inside of me in every way possible. And that means something to me. I feel like I wouldn't be so upset if they had just beat the hell out of me. The sex part makes it mean more to me. And the fact that I felt like they physically and sexually ruined me. The fact that he cut me up and tore me in the most personal ways is particularly upsetting to me. It wasn't only sex, but it was sex. I hate that..I don't think telling it is retraumatizing me, but it is not easy and it is upsetting. It is bringing up intense feelings. How can I tell if it is good or bad for me? It feels bad, but I get the sense that anything that might help me process it will feel bad. .And I know that there are positive things that have come out of what happened and I'm stronger for it in ways, but I don't feel right now it was worth whatever benefits I gained. I'm not glad it happened and I don't appreciate it. Maybe I will get to that point some day. Maybe I will get to a point where I'm a big enough or gracious enough person to say "I'm glad that happened, because I gained so much from it." But I'm not even close to that now. Sorry. .I get that you are growing weary of my negativity, and I don't blame you. I just find it difficult to look on the bright side of all this. I know you will say you are not, but I can read the frustration in your posts. It's okay. As I said, I don't blame you, but I can't be in the place where everyone thinks I should be. Whatever that means about me, it is what it is. Sorry.
Kate McCoy, M.Ed, NBCC, LPC

I can see what you are saying. Yes, by definition what happened was sex. And that can be painful to realize because it was especially brutal. It was the tool they used to hurt you and they took full advantage of it. And it could be that picking another way to hurt you might have felt different. Or maybe not, There is no real way to know. Any type of pain perpetrated on you by someone else is going to hurt, physically and emotionally. It will be traumatizing. And recognizing how traumatized you feel is important.
The goal of therapy is not to encourage you to be able to say one day that you are glad about what happened to you. No one is going to wish that. But there are good things that will come out of it. Just like any other trial in life. But never does anyone wish to survive such a horrible attack just to have the good that does develop from it.
I'm very interested in the feelings you transferred onto me in my last post. I am not growing weary of your feelings. They are what you need to work through in order to feel better. Any feelings are acceptable here. And what you suffered through is not going to be better overnight. It takes time, lots of work and determination on your part to see this through. I am here to help you, not judge you. You may see me trying different avenues to help you, but there is no expectation of instant recovery. I actually encourage that you take your time with this. The last thing you want to do is to come back later and find something you did not resolve.
I hope you had a good night!

Disclosure: I'm sharing #MyOliaStory #ad as part of a Garnier® sponsored series for Socialstars™
You've probably experienced this scenario yourself – you're in a rut and feeling meh when you decide to take a moment to yourself to rejuvenate. Sometimes it's something simple, like a bath or it's something a little more dramatic (like chopping your long locks.) Regardless of the act, it suddenly gives you that restoration of spirit you needed and that spring in your step is back.
Happiness and confidence go hand in hand. When I am happy, I feel my most confident and like I can achieve anything. When I'm feeling down, it often feels like my goals are not within reach. We've all been there.
So what can you do to give yourself a kick in the pants? You want my honest answer? Self care. Pampering yourself is is the most natural mood booster I know. It's not selfish by any means, it's transformative.
Here are 5 tips for pampering yourself to boost your mood (and confidence):
Get a haircut. There's something therapeutic about cutting off what's weighing you down while venting to your hairstylist. Other things I love about it – the head massage, the hum of the hair dryer, the eventual amazing hairstyle that I can never duplicate at home.
I recently decided to chop my long hair. It felt like magic and all of the compliments I got just made me feel really, really good. Read more

The Promise and Challenges of India's Corporate Governance Reforms
Afra Afsharipour
University of California, Davis - School of Law
July 14, 2010
Indian Journal of Law & Economics, Vol. 1, No. 1, p. 33, 2010
UC Davis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 223
This Article examines India's initial corporate governance reform efforts as well as reforms adopted in the aftermath of the Satyam scandal. An evaluation of India's corporate governance reforms demonstrates that although extensive reforms have been instituted, there remain significant lapses in implementation and enforcement. Moreover, many of the reforms that have been adopted fail to address fundamental areas of concern such as the relationship between controlling and minority shareholders, the role of promoters, the limited activism of shareholders, including institutional investors, and issues with director independence. This Article expresses concerns that these challenges may prevail because they have been shaped by unique political and social forces. These forces include the traditional closed ownership structures of Indian firms, an ineffective institutional framework to support enforcement efforts, weaknesses in investor access to the courts, and political pressures related to government ownership of certain industries.

A couple of weeks ago a taxi picked me up at Heathrow airport and my conversation with the driver, an elderly Chelsea fan, was something like this:
Driver: "Noocarsew are doing well ay? Bet you're not slagging Pardew now ay? Cockney mafia and that ay? None of you wanted 'im did you ay? Bet you aww feel darft now ay?"
Me: "You show me a person who from day one believed that Pardew was capable of this and I'll show you a liar."
He then went on to say that he was born in Blackpool but moved South as a kid so that's why he supports 'Chewsee'. He was also furious that Hodgson got the England job and not "Arry the choice of the people" but that hasn't really got anything to do with this blog!
I stand by the point I made to the driver and I'm the first to admit I got it completely wrong on Pardiola. Who honestly didn't?
A win ratio of 26% in season one after he arrived in December coupled with a cup exit to Stevenage and I was even less convinced.
Move forward 12 months and he has just delivered us one of the most enjoyable and memorable seasons in many a year. A season of wins over the established power houses, some absolutely world class goals, top class players and fine entertainment. His win ratio in the season that just ended was 51%
How? What did he do to instigate such a turn around in a club relegated only three years ago?
Firstly, he won the dressing room and then he remoulded it.
When he first got the job he went to then-Captain Kevin Nolan's house and got him onside. He knew that the sacking of the very popular Chris Hughton was very badly received in the dressing room and on the terraces. The terraces would take time to win over, but if he could get the players backing early on he knew that he could progress. Then there was Joey Barton. After the win over Liverpool in Pardew's first game, Barton couldn't wait to get on camera and quite rightly tell the nation that it was Hughton's team and that the 3 v 1 win was "for Chris". Yet within a matter of weeks Barton was openly admitting that he had taken to Pardew and that he liked him.
Hughton had implemented a fantastic team spirit. He took the morale around the club from the doldrums following relegation to a real buzz leading to the 6 v 0 win over Villa in our first game back in the Premier League. When Hughton was controversially sacked there was a real danger that morale would once again plummet but by winning over the senior players, Pardew managed to avoid that.
At the end of that first season Pardew risked further criticism from the fans by selling Kevin Nolan to West Ham. Nolan had been a massive (pun intended) player for us - Captain, scorer of vital goals and 4 in a season v sunderland. Shortly afterwards Joey Barton was told he could leave on a free in quite mysterious contractual circumstances. Many (including me) were very concerned about these departures - good players were coming in (Cabaye, Ba) but I believed that we needed more bodies, not some in and some out. Not to mention the fact that the two departing players had offered so much on the field in recent times. Again, I (we) were wrong. Pardew (with the help of Carr) brought in superior, lower cost players and still managed to maintain the incredible dressing room harmony whilst having greater control. Amazing job. Nolan went on to have a mediocre season in an under achieving West Ham side whilst Barton almost Captained richly-assembled QPR to relegation and will start next season with a 12 game ban.
On the field we were a totally different proposition to what we had been in recent years. A mixture of some free flowing football and the long ball game depending on where and when helped us to a couple of long unbeaten runs. Pardew mixed and matched tactics - it worked well, mostly. Sure, there were times that I scratched my head in confusion at his selection and tactics - not least Fulham away when we could all see that the high defensive line was killing us but he did not change it and we were hammered, or Spurs when he got it badly wrong. In the main, his tactics were excellent. Harry Redknapp has been the medias flavour of the month for years now. Pardew appears to be tactically superior to him. Redknapps main skill appears to be motivation, getting the most out of players and instinctively knowing when a player could shift position and have an impact. Pardew has also repeatedly demonstrated these traits (Ryan Taylor excelling at left back early in the season, the rise of Perchinho as a holding midfielder, Jonas' amazing performance as a supplementary full back away to Stoke to name but a few). Pardew has all of this and he is 14 years younger than good old Arry.
Another notable achievement this season was Pardew's exceptional handling of Hatem Ben Arfa. Coming back from his career threatening injury, Hatem looked a shadow of the player he had been. I'll confess to something here - I don't remember which game it was but I text a friend saying how poorly Hatem was performing and called him Hatem Ben Fumanca.....
Pardew man managed him, held him back, improved his on-field discipline and the outcome was spectacular. Ben Arfa became a vital player in the second half of the season. In January he won the 3rd round FA cup tie at home to Blackburn with a world class solo effort in injury time. His goal against Bolton was probably the best goal I've ever seen at St James' Park. Not just the goals - he was playing short, sharp passes more often and delivering vital crosses from either flank. He's now in the France squad for Euro 2012 - who would have predicted that this time last year?
What more can I say? Pardew has proven me wrong. I could carry on - the Cisse signing and impact just at the right time, 15 clean sheets with a very ordinary back 4, the emergence of Krul, the handling and improvement of Santon.... Excellent.
Alan Pardew has a long time left in the game. He is only the fourth manager to win both the Barclays and LMA Manager of the season awards in the same year.
In the long term he might bring some real good times to Newcastle. Maybe even a trophy. Whey, we can all dream! Now where's that passport?
Follow @MarcSDuffy
I do hope Newcastle will be in the UCL 2013-2014!
nice article. i'm surprise to see n.u can finish 5.the masterstroke is the sale of andy.c, however it kind of shame the way n.u fan treat andy cos it's not andy who want to move.
keep up the job,alan. bring more surprises next year. who knows n.u can finish top 3.
What a brilliant piece of writing Marc, I admire your work! Now, do we want Joey Barton or Jean-Alain Boumsong back now??
For once Ashley proved all of us wrong. Rarely do teams fire good coaches for a better one. Chris might have done a better job given the opportunity but Allan should be applauded for daring us to dream. Most of us thought things were falling apart when Kevin, Andy and Joey left when in actual fact, things were falling into place.
My only challenge was the handling of Demba Ba after the arrival of Demba Cisse. Im not really sure why the goal scoring touch left him, it could be a change in attacking focus or just a dip in his confidence; but i believe that if Ba had continued with scoring, CL would have been achieved. But this does not take away the splendid work done by Pardew.
Good post!and good football for the first time, am looking towards next season and equally waiting to see if newcastle will be among the top 6
You had to be insane to write off somebody who took West Ham into the top half during the first season in EPL and the FA Cup Final
MD: How about not initially having huge faith in a man who had been sacked from his previous 2 jobs?! Hindsight.....
I have been a big fan of Pardew since the first time I saw him on the sofa on Sunday morning with Kammy and the presenter at the time.
IIRC it was during his time at Southampton (or just after he was done there) and it struck me how much common sense he talked. So when he was appointed Newcastle manager I was fairly happy for the man and the club, although the manner of the Hougton sacking was sad.
I imagined he could have maybe made you a stable top half team but to do as well as he did this year is remarkable. I just hope he is not a victim of his own success and falls fowl to increased expectations.
Fans and the chairman alike must realise that top 10 again next year is still a great result even if you drop a place or two from this season. All roads point to a fantastically competitive league campagin next season, perhaps the most competitive ever.
It was the same gig: Top half of the table, FA cup final, flirting with relegation, and then sacking. All with West Ham. So far, it's going according to script. It'll be interesting to see what the next season is like.
15 clean sheets with a "very ordinary" back four -- I think Coloccini's presence and abilities makes the use of "very" a bit harsh. Not to mention, it wasn't that along ago we had to endure the likes of Bramble and Boumsong back there. I'd describe them as workmanlike and capable, if a bit pedestrian.
MD: But then 8 teams conceded fewer goals. This makes us mid table defensively.....

Now, make up a caustic solution of about 200ml of water. This
is done by slowly adding NaOH to the solution until it has a pH balance of 12
(use cheap pH strips). Then add 30ml of it to the codeine/water mix and then add
50ml of chloroform and shake and allow the heavier solvent to sink to the
bottom. Then you must separate off the chloroform layer by using a siphon (use
an eyedropper if you need to), then wash the remanding solution again with 30ml
of chloroform and once again remove it. Now you must separate all the water from
the solvent and I mean every last drop. All of the water must be out, and you
can pipette it or use a separator of some kind (like a flask with a tap, so you
shut it off when the water gets close to running through). Then evaporate off
the chloroform with a pot filled with simmering water in it. Just have a plate
sitting on top of the pot and slowly tip in solution and watch white crystalline
codeine base appear as the chloroform reduces out by dryness.
Tips: You want white codeine not brown and always use glass; its easier to clean.
Next step producing Morphine from Codeine:
Now, you need to then measure out about 3 grams of pyridine HCL for approximately one and a half grams of codeine and melt it in a long boiling tube (or big test-tube). Then when melted, place in the codeine and it all must dissolve and be able to swish around. Then immediately plug the tube with a tightly rolled paper napkin. It will turn different colors and it will be hard to tell when it's cooked, but let it take about 5 minutes or when the temperature hits around 230 Celsius and then it will be done, and it will stick to the sides of the tube when ready. Then tip all of it into a clean beaker with 100ml of water. Then tip some water back into the now cooler test-tube and rinse all of it out into the beaker. Next add caustic solution drop by drop till you get to pH 14 (take about 3ml of the solution stated above). You will need some pH papers. Now wash the solution with chloroform say 40ml shake well and allow to settle or centrifuge (spin), pipette off the top aqueous layer. Then drop the pH to 9 and shine a light through it; you'll see it thicken with this brown mud like shit. Don't go past 9, add one or two small drops once you hit 9 and filter that crap out. The beat way is to use a vacuum filter with really good filter paper. Now, check the pH you want it to go no lower than 7.5 (using HCL spirits of salts and hydrochloric acid) while it gets to 8pH start rubbing the sides of the beaker with a glass rod or handle of a wooden spoon right in the liquid at the water level rub hard on the beaker glass and morphine will seed in clouds off crystals, then filter them out and dry high above an heating element on a metal spoon (leave the dope on the filter paper and dry it then it is easy to get off it flakes off in chunks).
Note: These crystalline codeine particles can be taken orally (under your tongue for faster results) or mixed in a drink, if you wish not to convert it into heroin.
Now, Converting your Morphine into street quality Heroin (diacetylmorphine)Procedure:
First, place some of your converted morphine into a metal spoon and add acetic anhydride and then cover with a piece of aluminum foil and bake in the oven at around 80 degrees Celsius, for at least 1 hour. Then uncover and turn the oven off. Allow the last of the acetic anhydride to sweat off the substance. Then place the remaining substance in the refrigerator. When the substance is cold, you can move it to a burner (torch lighter) and just heat till you think its at about at least 80 degree's and sniff a couple inches above it. It shouldnt sting your nose, if it does just heat it lightly some more until the smell goes away. Voila! Now the final product is street quality heroin. Ready to either be taken or sold.

ALLEN PARK -- Some football coaches will continuously attempt to force players who are square pegs into the round holes of their scheme. Jim Caldwell, hired by the Detroit Lions this offseason, doesn't want to be that kind of coach.
While Caldwell, as well as coordinators Teryl Austin and Joe Lombardi, will certainly bring specific schematic elements to the table, Caldwell ultimately aims to construct a playbook built around the strengths of his players.
"I think that's really our job, just in terms of coaches, is number one to implement a system we think is going to be effective, that we believe in," Caldwell said. "It's structured as such where most of them are pretty voluminous, but we structure them in such a way that we make certain we try to use the best of a player's ability. We have to look at everyone, particularly the quarterback because he's the guy that's going to run the show. He's the trigger man."
Although the players weren't allowed on the practice field, the Lions began the installation process last week, during voluntary workouts. Quarterback Matthew Stafford called the process exciting.
"This is the first week we're allowed to be in the facility and just trying to watch some old cut-ups of other teams that have played under both our coaches' systems," Stafford said. "Trying to figure out where we want to go with it."
Lombardi, speaking to season ticket holders earlier this week, reiterated Detroit's offense will be heavily influenced by the scheme ran in New Orleans, where he spent the past seven years as an offensive assistant and quarterback coach.
He also said the Lions will incorporate elements from the offenses Caldwell ran in both Indianapolis and Baltimore, as well as what some of the assistants used at their various collegiate and professional stops.
"We're going to borrow and steal from all those different systems, and really in November you're going to see a Lions offense," Lombardi said.
Running back Reggie Bush, who joined the Lions last season as a free agent and posted a career-high 1,512 yards from scrimmage, believes the team has personnel versatile enough to do whatever the coaches want.
"That's the great thing about the people, the guys we have here," Bush said. "We have some explosive players on the offensive side of the ball that can do pretty much do anything. It's going to be exciting. Whatever it is, the situation calls for, I think we'll be able to answer and do it well."

(NAPSI)-Researchers have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to identify the genetic changes that give rise to some of the world's most challenging childhood cancers.
While great progress has been made in treating childhood cancer, it is still the leading cause of death from disease among
The St. Jude Children's Research Hospital−Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project is the largest investment to date--estimated to cost $65 million over three years--aimed at understanding the genetic origins of childhood cancers. Scientists involved in the project will decode and sequence the entire genomes of normal and cancer cells, comparing differences in the DNA to identify genetic mistakes that lead to pediatric cancer.
The collaboration will focus on childhood leukemias, brain tumors and tumors of bone, muscle and other connective tissues called sarcomas. St. Jude will provide DNA from the tissues of patients and
An understanding of the pediatric cancer genome should help in the development of new treatments and diagnostic tools. The project will also yield information that may help physicians in the near future as they choose the most effective treatment options for their young patients.
"We are on the threshold of a revolution in our understanding of the origins of cancer," said Dr. William E. Evans, St. Jude director and chief executive officer. "For the first time in history, we have the tools to identify all of the genetic abnormalities that turn a white blood cell into a leukemia cell or a brain cell into a brain tumor."
St. Jude is home to one of the world's largest and most complete repositories of biological information about childhood cancer. The collection dates to the 1970s and includes more than 50,000 tumor, bone marrow, blood and other biological samples. These samples are essential to efforts to understand the origins of cancer.
"This extraordinary partnership will add a new dimension to our understanding of childhood cancers," said pediatric geneticist Dr. Larry J. Shapiro, executive vice chancellor and dean of Washington University School of Medicine. "A genome-wide understanding of cancer offers great promise for developing powerful new approaches to diagnose and treat cancer or perhaps even to prevent it."

Kevin Paul Dupont at the Boston Globe writes that if the Rangers decide to buyout Chris Drury, the Boston Bruins could be a team interested…
"Talk along Broadway is that the Rangers are considering a buyout of the final season of the five-year, $37.5 million pact Chris Drury signed as a free agent. If so, Drury, who will be 35 in August, will draw a total $3.34 million over the next two years and could sign anywhere as a free agent. Versatility and short money ($700,000?) could make him a valuable pickup in many cities, especially here if Mark Recchi retires"
…with Drury being a former standout at BU sounds like a match made in heaven. Although I thought the same thing about him and the Rangers so what do I know.
Speaking of Drury, Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com shoots down the rumor that the Rangers captain will be sent down to the CT Whale next year.
…obviously the person who started that rumor hadn't done much research on Drury and his no movement clause.
…h/t to Spector's Hockey on both Drury stories.
And since we're on the subject of Ranger bad contracts, Arthur Staple at Newsday has a piece about Wade Redden's contract going back on the books after July 1st.

What 3 things happen in Telophase 1?
1. nuclear envelope reassembles, 2. spindle disappears, 3. cytokinesis divides cell into two
At the beginning of Meiosis II, each cell has how many homologs of each chromosome?
only 1 is present
The gametes at the end of Meiosis 2 will have how many copies of a gene for a trait?
Meiosis 2 produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene

Dive! Take cover! Or, at least, hold on to your pants in the scramble. The Chinese bubble has just burst. It looks like the world is going to have egg on its face and elsewhere as Chinese banks are scrambling to get the hands on cash.
Chinese cash rates didn't just increase they shot through the roof today, Friday June 21st. This is not hyperbole. This is not exaggeration. They reached 25% when they were at their peak, and the only thing that calmed them down was the talk of a possible cash injection from the Chinese central bank. Rates dropped to 10%.
Some analysts are saying that the People's Bank of China is trying to make a point to smaller banks that are using short-term funding for trading rather than lending that money out. That's dicing with death some analysts reckon as some of the smaller banks are nearing collapse.
Overnight bond purchase rates are the measure of the cost of liquidity and the rates are double what they are expected to be at the present time (8.4920% today, which is lower than Thursday's 11.62%, but still higher than they should be).

When I take my daily dose of calcium it's for one reason and one reason only: to stave off osteoporosis. Sure milk has other good properties — not the least of which is how it good it tastes with a plate of chocolate chip cookies — but continued bone health definitely ranks pretty darn high on the list.
So, when I saw the new Body by Milk ad featuring Wolverine (as played by Hugh Jackman) my first thought was, "What the what?"
See, Wolverine's original bone skeletal system has been seriously enhanced with adamantium, a fictional indestructible metal alloy. Milk isn't going to do him a lot of good.
At least the ad copy goes another route: "My power to re-generate might be top secret but my ability to re-engergize is simple. Milk has protein to help build muscle and a unique mix of nutrients to help you refuel."
Still, Wolverine's unique muscle and skin regeneration and healing powers have nothing to do with his milk intake. And we're pretty sure after a day of fighting the powers of evil he's more likely to grab a beer.
What do you think? If you're going to buy a superhero who drinks a lot of milk who would it be? Captain America? Superman? BabyMan?
