How To Peg Your Man! CONTINUED
A good way to initiate butt play with your male partner's backdoor is during other sexual activities, like when he's inside you during intercourse or while you have his undivided attention during fellatio. If the butt play feels good for him during those activities, it has strong potential to take center stage later!
The study from New York University interviewed a number of people and tracked their sexual encounters during a three-month period. After accumulating and evaluating the data, researchers found that participants in casual sex reported higher self-esteem and life satisfaction than their peers who abstained.

Milwaukee County executive candidate Chris Abele says he's not partisan
Philanthropist Chris Abele stunned the political and charity worlds when he jumped into the spring 2011 race to succeed Scott Walker as Milwaukee County executive.
Abele used his Jan. 4, 2011, announcement to position himself as an outsider who could build consensus and rise above politics to save critical services and solve the county's fiscal problems.
In a speech almost free of policy specifics, Abele made pragmatism the centerpiece of his pitch, telling reporters: "I've worked with Republicans, Democrats and anyone who has good ideas to find solutions. And I've fought for our shared values without being an ideologue or a partisan."
Abele (pronounced AY-buh-lee) argues that squabbling between Walker and the far more liberal Milwaukee County Board -- and to some extent between Republican Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a Democrat -- has hampered progress.
Abele is a transplanted Bostonian unknown to most voters. To the degree he has had a public profile, his family's Argosy Foundation is best known for backing the arts and left-of-center social causes.
His statement made us wonder: Is he really a nonpartisan or bipartisan kind of guy?
We tested Abele's statement by checking his past political involvement, including donations to political campaigns, as well as examining the foundation's donations.
Beyond that, the question of nonpartisanship can be measured by his positions on key issues facing the county. We aimed to put him on the record about those as well.
Personal contributions
The long paper trail left by Abele's personal campaign donations since 2000 leaves no doubt he is a very loyal Democrat.
He has given heavily to Democratic Party office-seekers here and around the country, to the Democratic Party itself and in 2002 was on the campaign finance committee for Jim Doyle in his first race for governor.
He has plugged funds into key state legislative contests outside Milwaukee that were important for determining the balance of power in Madison. Among the recipients closer to home: Pedro Colon, Lena Taylor, Sheldon Wasserman and Jim Sullivan -- now a foe in the exec's race.
His federal donations have helped Wisconsin congressional candidates Russ Feingold, Dave Obey, Steve Kagen and Tammy Baldwin, as well as Paul Wellstone of Minnesota and Michael Bennet of Colorado.
In 2004, Abele lined up attendees at a Ted Kennedy fundraiser for John Kerry's presidential bid. And in 2008, Barack Obama got a check.
"His politics are well known," said David Gordon, who directed the Milwaukee Art Museum when Abele served on its board. "He's known as a supporter of Democratic policies. He's a liberal. He would be proud to use the word and not ashamed of it."
It's not uncommon for major community figures who work with various governments to hedge their bets with small donations to candidates they may not necessarily favor personally. Abele has not done that.
When he began making political donations in 2000, Abele suggested to the Journal Sentinel -- which described him as a "young millionaire" -- he wouldn't just give to Democrats.
But we couldn't find one dime in donations over a decade to a Republican candidate out of about $175,000. And Abele himself could not point out any to GOP candidates or incumbents in a partisan position.
Abele downplays his Democratic bent, saying he doesn't necessarily agree with his favored candidates on everything.
He gets a mixed political report card from his own campaign co-chairman, Milwaukee businessman-philanthropist Sheldon Lubar -- Abele's closest Republican ally by his own account. The pair have worked together for years studying and offering solutions to Milwaukee County's fiscal plight, in their role as co-chairs of a group set up by the Greater Milwaukee Committee, a group of local business and civic leaders.
Lubar, co-chairman of Abele's campaign, said Abele is a moderate who is "kind of" nonpartisan and won't spend money the county doesn't have.
"He's ideological, but he's not a (political) party freak," Lubar added.
Julia Taylor, president of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, said Abele did not show any partisan bent in his work studying county government's future.
"He likes to get a lot of different viewpoints at the table," she said.
Foundation giving
The primary source of Abele's influence around town is the Argosy Foundation. It's a private family foundation established in 1997 by Abele's father, John, a co-founder of the medical technology firm Boston Scientific.
The younger Abele now directs Argosy from Milwaukee -- and Wisconsin organizations are prominent recipients. Abele, 43, who moved here in the early 1990s, says he is the main decision-maker in the family on the local grants.
The foundation's grants slowed to a relative trickle in 2009 -- just $550,000 nationally and only $89,000 in Wisconsin. Before Boston Scientific's stock went south, the foundation was doling out as much as $14.5 million a year. Figures for 2010 are not yet available.
Chris Abele told The Business Journal in 2002 that his goal was that Argosy outstrip Milwaukee's conservative Bradley Foundation "but with a much different political bent."
He made good on the second part: Argosy has funded progressive social causes such as Planned Parenthood, homeless prevention, global warming, alternative energy and the Wisconsin Citizen Action Fund, the sister organization of group representing a coalition of labor and social justice causes. The Progressive magazine in Madison is a beneficiary.
But the arts here and in several others states are the prime beneficiary, including many mainline performing arts groups and museums. He has served on the boards of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
Argosy also backs a number of good-government causes, and well-established organizations that transcend politics, such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer and the American Heart Association.
Education is another pet cause, and the only area where Argosy's donations clearly lean to the free-market conservative side -- at least in some donations supporting the charter and for-profit school movements.
So what has the money trail shown us?
A "partisan" label seems pretty fair based solely on Abele's campaign donations -- especially if you narrowly define partisan as a "strong supporter of a person, group, or cause." That's a common dictionary definition. His foundation giving is broader, but the social causes certainly lean left.
But "partisan" carries a broader, more negative meaning: a biased, emotional attachment to ideas and unwillingness to listen or acknowledge alternate viewpoints.
Positions on the issues
Abele does not seem like a rigid thinker; from what's known about his positions on local issues, he defies easy labeling.
He may be a traditional liberal in some broad sense, but when it comes to local politics Abele strays from that orthodoxy on some key issues:
- Taxes. He has not adopted Walker's strict "no new taxes" approach, but says tax increases should be a "last resort" until the county gets its act together. Specifically, a dedicated sales tax for parks or transit is out for the "foreseeable future," he told PolitiFact Wisconsin.
- Privatization. He told us he is "wide open" to privatizing more county services if it saves money, preserves an important service or improves poorly delivered programs such as mental health. County employee unions have fiercely fought such moves.
- Intergovernmental cooperation. He is open to letting other municipalities perform some of what the county now does, or have the county take over other things.
- Employee benefits. With Lubar, he called for an end to lifetime health insurance for transit workers, and says getting employee costs under control is important. He says Walker didn't go far enough, fast enough to trim pension liabilities.
- Public education. He favors a mayoral takeover of the Milwaukee Public Schools, and urged Barrett to push for that. It died quickly but isn't necessarily buried.
On the other hand, some of Abele's rhetoric seems designed to reassure progressives -- suggesting we can protect services even in the county's time of fiscal peril.
"The answer is not to continually cut the critical county services that for years have been neglected, like transit, public safety, mental health services and support for our parks," Abele said at his announcement.
Abele supported the use of federal funds for a high-speed rail link between Madison and Milwaukee. Wisconsin lost the $800 million after Walker opposed the project during the governor's race.
Under questioning, he resists being pinned down, preferring to offer lengthy analyses of competing liberal and conservative political philosophies, saying he takes good ideas from both sides.
He's still an enigma to key interest groups in the county, from unions on the left to anti-tax groups on the right.
Abele recently asked to meet with Rich Abelson, leader of the powerful county employee union, AFSCME District Council 48. He sought to assure the union boss that he's not a Darth Vader seeking to blow up county government, but made no specific commitments, Abelson said.
"He didn't ask for our endorsement," Abelson said. "I came away from our breakfast together not knowing what he really wants to do."
One of the most high-profile conservative activists on the county scene, Chris Kliesmet of Citizens for Responsible Government, also sat down with Abele recently. Kliesmet said Abele struck him as "almost apolitical."
"The question in every conservative's mind should be, 'Is this guy a wolf in sheep's clothing?'" Kliesmet said.
That brings us back to the question of who Abele is. More specifically, is he what he defines himself as -- non-ideological and nonpartisan?
Based on where he puts his own money, Abele's politics are decidedly Democratic -- and his family's foundation backs a variety of liberal social causes and just a few that would be considered conservative. Abele made clear his political intentions when he declared his plans to make Argosy an ideological counterweight to the conservative Bradley Foundation. His own campaign co-chairman says he is ideological.
When it comes to his stated positions on county issues, a limited number at best, they cannot be labeled under one partisan banner. As promises of future behavior, though, they carry less weight than the money trail he has already established.
For now, we'll call his statement Barely True.
Editor's note: This statement was rated Barely True when it was published. On July 27, 2011, we changed the name for the rating to Mostly False.

Make a home for wildlife
13 October 2007
Image: Bob Glover
A good wildlife garden is more than just a corner of a garden left to go wild. Whether you are creating a new wildlife garden, or have an established one, think of it as a nature reserve and you are the warden.
Soil type, drainage and climatic conditions play a big part in what can grow in your garden. The way it has been managed in the past also influences what lives there. If it has been intensively managed, or has less green space and more concrete, it is likely to support less wildlife.
If you are creating a new garden, look at what grows locally in the wild and in other gardens for ideas. You cannot force plants to grow where they don't want to, so look to see what flourishes where in your garden. If you find something growing naturally and wish to keep it, leave it where it is instead of trying to move it.
The dilemma of finding what will grow where will largely have been solved if you have an established garden. Major changes are harmful, so work with what you have. If any major pruning or removal is necessary, undertake it over several winters to give wildlife time to adjust.
Provide as many habitats as possible, but avoid cramming too much in and focus on what can be done well in the space you have. A lawn, trees and shrubs, flowers and water are key habitats. Look to create smaller microhabitats within these. Here are a few examples:
Wildlife requires two fundamental things: somewhere safe to breed and shelter and somewhere to forage throughout the year.
Creating a range of habitat niches provides different areas and opportunities for wildlife to feed at different times of year.
Many of our actions have an impact on wildlife beyond our gardens. Consider this when choosing or using your materials when creating your wildlife garden.

The article by Kesselheim et al1 regarding the ethics of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donation by biological siblings of adopted children points out the importance of intimacy in justifying minors participating as HSC donors. However, the article highlights one common error in this process. Because HLA testing is a simple blood test, parents and physicians believe that they can test children, and do so without considering its broader implications. While the physical risk is minimal, if the child is found to be HLA identical to the potential recipient, questions arise about whether the child is an appropriate HSC donor. This question, however, should be asked before HLA testing is done. In that vein, the case cited by Kesselheim et al was problematic despite the fact that the siblings were found to be non–HLA compatible: nonintimate siblings should not be evaluated to determine if they are eligible to serve as HSC donors.2

Geometric Scrapbook Paper Table Topper
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
If you're interested in scrapbook paper craft ideas but aren't the mood to construct a full layout, consider creating a Geometric Scrapbook Paper Table Topper. This sophisticated design looks great on a dining room table or even at a wedding. Luckily, it doesn't take long to construct one of these toppers, so you can make a bunch and use them as decorations for a large event.
- 2-3 sheets of 12" X 12" two-sided patterned scrapbook paper
- Variety of coordinating paper die-cuts – leaves and flowers
- Tape runner
- Hot glue gun
- Craft glue
- Paint marker
- Paper trimmer
- Self-adhesive flat-back gems
Cut each 12" X 12" sheet of scrapbook paper into 1" strips; cut each strip in half to 1"x6".
Fold each 6" strip almost in half – leave a tab of about 3/8" at one end. Fold half the strips to show one side of the pattern; fold half to show the other side.
Apply tape runner adhesive to the tab and fold it over to attach the two ends of the strip together.
Pinch the closed strip open and press the two folded edges to each other in the center – crease the new folds and open it up to a square shape, then pinch it slightly in the center to "squash" the square into a diamond shape.
Color the edges of each diamond with a paint marker.
Arrange the diamonds nested next to each other to make a nice overall pattern, then hot glue the diamonds together, one by one, side by side. TIP: Snap a photo of your "draft" to refer to as you're moving the diamonds around to glue them together.
Arrange the paper die-cuts as desired to accent each end of the paper diamond assemblage, then glue in place.
Accent the die-cuts with a few flat-back gems.

The biggest story this week was the announcement of the Apple iPad, and TechRadar got hands on with the device to see whether it lived up to the hype.
Carphone Warehouse hinted at an iPad UK release date, while Asus detailed its own tablet challenger.
Popular in-depth articles included Top 10 best free iPhone apps, 48 best free software downloads from Microsoft and our iPhone 4G rumour round-up.
Read on for this week's most popular stories on TechRadar…
Top five news stories
Carphone Warehouse hints at iPad UK release date
Apple has announced it is striking data deals to offer 3G connectivity with its iPad, and we've spoken to UK networks about whether a similar plan will be in place. Orange, O2 and Vodafone have issued us all with a resounding 'No comment'. However, The Carphone Warehouse has issued a statement that seems to hint that it is planning to offer the iPad on our shores.
Average speed cameras coming for all motorways
Average speed cameras could be installed on all UK motorways if a government-backed group gets its way. The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) has stated that the cameras, currently only used for roadwork traffic management, would provide significant environmental benefits.
Get an iPad for free on the Apple App Store
So, Apple has finally announced its long-heralded tablet device and called it the iPad. But, wait a minute, there's already something called an iPad and it's already available on the Apple Store. The iPad app is freeware which allows you to turn your humble iPod into an iPad – essentially a notepad that allows you to write 1000 word notes and store them on your PMP.
Asus details Apple Tablet challenger, the Eee Pad
TechRadar recently caught up with Asus' Corporate Vice President, Eric Chen, in a wide-ranging interview in which the VP of the Taiwanese Eee PC computing giant told us more about his plans for an affordable, touchscreen, 3G-connected tablet computer – the Nvidia Tegra 2-powered Eee Pad.
Official: Sky 3D will launch in April
Sky will launch its dedicated 3D television channel, called simply Sky 3D, in April, with Sunday's Arsenal v Manchester United match being screened in 3D in selected pubs as a special preview to the service. The Arsenal / Manchester United clash will not only be a fitting introduction to 3D television, but also make Sky the first TV company anywhere to broadcast a live 3D TV sports event to a public audience.

10 things to know about the Apple iPad
The world has been waiting impatiently for the day when Apple would finally spill all the details on its tablet – and it has finally arrived: the iPad. But is it all hype and no substance, or has Apple managed to once again release a game changing device onto the world? We give you all the information you need on Apple's latest toy.
There are now well over 100,000 apps available for iPhone and iPod touch, and, surprisingly, many of the best are free. The following list showcases our ten favourites, and includes iPhone applications for social networking, travel, news, photography, productivity and more.
48 best free software downloads from Microsoft
When it comes to free software, those free-loving, free-wheeling open sourcers have an unlikely challenger: Microsoft. Yes, you heard us right, Microsoft: the ice to Fedora's fire; the night to Ubuntu's day. But as unlikely as it may seem, Redmond actually has a thriving – though largely unsung – library of free applications available to download. And we're not just talking about freeware cobbled together in bedrooms by people who don't get out much.
We know the iPhone's on an annual upgrade cycle, so a new one is due by the summer - and that means it could be announced as early as next week. Despite Apple's best efforts details of the next iPhone are beginning to leak, but what's coming and what's just wishful thinking? Let's find out.
10 ways to make iPhone OS 4.0 damn near perfect
The iPhone OS has some idiosyncrasies that make us mad, some omissions that make us angry and in Notes, a typeface that makes us feel physically ill. We've come up with 10 ways that Apple could make iPhone OS 4.0 damn near perfect.
Top five reviews
Apple provided us with hands-on time with its new iPad after Wednesday's big announcement, letting dozens of greasy-fingered journalists poke, swipe, and drool over the svelte hardware and the first-party built-in applications. And while some of the software was a tad underwhelming in its prerelease state, playing with the iPad quickly revealed its potential for greatness. We simply can't wait to see what developers make for this thing.
One of the most important changes Firefox 3.6 brings is improved support for HTML5, the next generation of the language in which the web is written. That enables two particularly eye-catching things: the ability to watch streaming video without installing a plug-in, and support for the HTML5 File API, which means developers can use dragging and dropping between browser and desktop.
In an attempt to show itself as a mobile manufacturer in its own right, Google has released the Nexus One, a handset built by HTC but branded solely as a Google phone. Despite some well-publicised problems with customer support and keypad malfunctions - neither of which became an issue during our testing process - the Nexus One is actually a stellar smartphone, easily the match of its peers.
The first Android handset from the Korean firm, the LG Intouch Max GW620, has taken a different direction to its competitors - there are very few Android phones that have aimed at the lower end of the handset spectrum, and it's interesting that the Korean firm has chosen this tack.
Aimed at mobile buyers after some touch control action on a budget, the LG POP GD510 is the smallest, lightest and one of the cheapest 3-inch touchscreen phones around. The LG POP GD510 doesn't try to be a do-everything smartphone. The POP is instead pitched at delivering a fun package, with a friendly user experience and the sort of features its target audience are after.

October 18-20 Biketoberfest at the Hideaway Grill and Tap Haus
Friday 10.18.2013 @ 12:00pm | ImagesAZ | Community
Venue: Hideaway Grille, 6746 E. Cave Creek Rd. Cave Creek
Time flies when you're having fun! Mark Bradshaw's Hideaway Grille in Cave Creek will celebrate its 15-year anniversary with Biketoberfest Oct. 18 through Oct. 20. Day rides, live music, contests and a silent auction are just a few of the festivities that will take place at both Bradshaw's Hideaway Grill, and his other local hangout, the Cave Creek Tap Haus.
A welcome stop during Arizona Bike Week, the Hideaway, located at 6746 E. Cave Creek Rd. in Cave Creek, is an established hub for local bikers and those just passing through. Known as Arizona's favorite Biker Bar, it plays host to custom bike builders, motorcycle celebrities and enthusiasts. Its longevity is a testament to its owner's entrepreneurial spirit.
Since 1998, Bradshaw has evolved his hole-in-the-wall hangout into a national biker destination. Its name has appeared in several notable motorcycle magazines, including Easy Rider, American Bagger and Biker.
A decade after founding the Hideaway, Bradshaw teamed up with Jim and Lisa O' Toole to establish the Cave Creek Tap Haus next door at 6900 E. Cave Creek Rd. With over 50 microbrews and domestic beers on tap, it boasts the largest array of locally brewed beers. The 8,000-square-foot venue is more than accommodating. It is the perfect counterpart to the Hideaway Grill and caters to a more diverse crowd. The extensive menu includes more than the usual burgers and fries, with seafood dishes, salads, pastas, and even a kids' meal section, the Tap Haus delivers on all fronts.
The Tap Haus will host a dart contest in the beer garden, as well as a Bikini Bike Wash. The final day of Biketoberfest begins with the Buddy Stubbs Ride. A silent auction at the Tap Haus, as well as a "Burn Out" contest will round out Sunday's events. Vendors and live music will be a feature throughout the weekend.
Biketoberfest runs Oct. 18-20 with nonstop entertainment, beginning with a day ride at noon on Friday. The route ends at the Tap Haus for an Arizona Bike Builders Dinner, followed by a Metal King concert at 9 p.m.

Cinemax (Sun., Feb. 14, 11 p.m. ET)
This country has been suffering from a terrible satire shortage for years now, ever since the parody-perfect John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were replaced by the too-boring-to-bother-with Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter. Things should have improved when Ronald Reagan was elected. He was ripe. Whether ya loved him or hated him, ya had to laugh at him. Yes, the pH of political humor should have turned caustic again. But no. It seems that Teflon is resistant even to acid. Nobody has been able to take on Reagan and come out laughing. Even the sly, wry, wise and witty Garry (Doonesbury) Trudeau stumbles when he teams up with composer Liz (Runaways) Swados to create Rap Master Ronnie, an off-Broadway musical revue now brought to TV. Performing words written by Trudeau and music written by Swados, impersonator Jim Morris as Reagan raps his way through a ditty about South Africa's white regime and then introduces a bunch of musical skits with guest stars Carol Kane, Jon Cryer and the Smothers Brothers. The music is downright worthless; lawn-mowers are more hummable. And the lyrics, try as they might, have the bite of a baby. No, the only memorable satire I've seen in recent years came from Britain's Spitting Image. So like oil, autos and electronic toys, it now seems we're going to have to import our parody too. What a tragic trade deficit.

Taylor Lautner
We'd like to believe that in this day and age, talent still counts for something, and that Taylor Lautner has become the world's highest paid teen actor because he can cry on camera faster than his contemporaries. The truth is -- and call us cynical if you must -- Taylor Lautner is not even a real movie star yet. He's a cultural phenomenon; one borne of an obsessive tween fan base, an epic eight-pack, and a jawline to rival Captain America himself. Until he can open a movie all by his lonesome, Taylor Lautner will either be known as "Jacob Black from the Twilight franchise" or "that smug kid from those vampire flicks," depending on whether or not you pee standing up.

I stock up on Larabars when I can get them at .50 per bar. I do this with a .75/3 coupon printed from coupons.com, doubled at a store that has them on sale for $1.
Ya know, I've tried many different flavors but the only one I really like is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. In my opinion, it is the best.
I love them all except the cookie/chocolate varieties. My favorites are the new Key Lime Pie and Lemon Bar. Damn!
I need to make some of these. If I do I'll try to stop being lazy and actually document the process.
They only carry four or five flavours of them here in Canada, and the cheapest I've ever seen them is $1, by buying a box of 16 for $16. And we don't get to do rad things like doubling coupons here, either.
The Cashew Cookie is my favorite.
I rarely see them as low as $1, but I stock up when they're that cheap!
Depression Lies
Perfection is entirely individual. Any philosophy or pursuit that encourages individuality has merit in that it frees people. Any that encourages shackles only has merit in that it shows you how wrong and desperate the human mind can get in its pursuit of truth.
I get blunter and more narcissistic by the day.
I'd apologize, but...
I make them a lot. Just throw the dates into a food processor and process until you get a big ball. Add whatever goodies you like (in the food processor or transfer to a bowl and mix by hand, great workout!), then spread it out on an 8 x 8 pan (use parchment paper to avoid sticking, bottom and top) and press to compact. Easy peasy!
Also, if you have a Grocery Outlet in your area, you can find a box of 16 for $5.99, quite the deal! Do watch out for the Uber Lara bars if you are grain free (brown rice syrup), though as a once in a blue moon quick snack they are pretty good.
I wouldn't care if it costs more to make them yourself. I find most of the Lara bars have a strange taste to them. They taste more like sour raisins to me than dates.
I have found imported pressed dates at an Asian market. It's probably possible to find something similar elsewhere. It's basically dates already smooshed up into a block. You could probably use those date things with the coconut on them as a base, too. I've used this stuff to make bars by hand since I don't have a food processor (yet).

"Invisible Children," a movie about the murderously deranged international war criminal and leader of the so-called Lords Resistance Army recently went viral on the Web, thanks in no small measure to a few Twitter messages by a host of influential celebrities, such as Oprah Winfrey and Justin Bieber and the singer Rhianna.
Their newfound cognizance is welcome, but Uganda's tragedy is nothing new. The Advance told this story 7 years ago.
As insurgencies go, the one in northern Uganda is too small and remote to show up on the Western World's radar. Technically it's not an insurgency at all, even though the group calling itself Lords Resistance Army says its intention is to topple the Ugandan government. To call them insurgents or rebels is to legitimize their savagery. In reality this is just bloody gangsterism by a bizarre central African pseudo-Christian cult that cynically preaches rule by the Ten Commandments even as its victims are enslaved, mutilated, butchered and eaten. This has been going on for decades.
The leader of the LRA is a self-styled spiritualist and prophet named Joseph Kony, an utterly unprincipled man who says he is in constant and direct contact with God. He has engineered the abduction of tens of thousands – many of them adolescent children – in an endless nightmare of rape, pillage and murder.
His nominal opponent is Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, whose army has long engaged in low-grade and inconclusive war with Kony's forces. Since the LRA qualifies, in the eyes of the U.S. Department of State, as a terrorist organization, Uganda, roughly the size of Oregon, receives millions in military aid as long as the war continues. The persistent ineffectiveness of the Ugandan army gives rise to suspicions that Museveni has decided it is more lucrative to fight the LRA than to defeat it.
Apparently cognizant of that lack of success, President Obama dispatched 100 military advisers, last October, to advise the Ugandan military in their hunt for Kony. So far the effort has come to naught and the wily warlord is still on the loose.
Caught in the middle of this brutal game are the Acholi, a gentle, peaceful and forgiving people who for decades have served as the LRA's prey. The Acholi, who live near the Sudan border, comprise perhaps five percent of Uganda's roughly 25 million people. They have been forced to become refugees in their own country.
The monstrous Kony is of their tribe. Thus, in the strongly tribal culture that holds sway in much of Africa, the LRA is oftentimes considered not a national problem but an Acholi problem.
Call it what you will, the violence has taken a terrible toll on generations of Acholi children.
In April, 2005, we published a series of pictures drawn by children who had witnessed or experienced the LRA's savagery firsthand. The pictures were collected by the Manhattan-based International Rescue Committee which, for years, worked to stabilize life in the Acholi refugee camps. IRC workers help create schools, health services and sanitation systems and some level of sane social normality. And they try to reclaim some of the young lives so brutalized by violence.
One of the ways children can begin working through the horror they have experienced is to tell their story; to show the world what they have experienced. The pictures are part of that therapy effort. A collection of the images is available on silive.com. They allow you to see, through the eyes of children who have experienced what no child ever should, the largely invisible horror that continues even today.

Film maker Jessic Yu has a beautiful poignant film up at Lumen Eclipse called Sour Death Balls.
It has me tears every time I watch it… apparently I have a kid-torturing sadistic streak I haven't been in touch with?
It's a project I wish I had made.

Don't you remember your brothers trying to keep the most sour "what ever" in their mouth? Then they'd try and gross out their MoM with "what ever" they thought was the most horribly sour thing ever!
Hee! Thanks for sharing that! I had the most fun watching it and then sharing it with my friends. I love sour things and I'm definitely curious to try sour death balls now.
i watched this at the exploratorium a few months ago, it's an awesome short!
[...] Brownie Points also links to a 1993 award winning documentary short, Sour Death Balls, which captures on film the reactions of various people to extremely sour candy. [...]

I know this because this morning, just as I was feeling at the end of my laundry-cleaning-making-lunch rope, my 7 year old Kailey started singing a song around the house... "Don't you wish your momma was hot like mine" over and over (you know... instead of the tune 'Don't you wish you girlfriend was hot like me). At first I chuckled and thought, ya right. Then I thought, I must be doing something right at 7am, if while sort of grumpy, in my jammies, this is what she is choosing to sing... you know?

I think we're all doing something a little right....

MADISON, N.C. -- One of the founding members of the North Carolina gospel group The Hopper Brothers has died.
Group publicist Aaron Crisler said that 86-year-old Monroe Hopper died Friday in Madison. No cause of death was given.
The group is now known as The Hoppers, as various family members have taken over for the brothers.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, perhaps most famous for his classic American drama Death of a Salesman, and whose fame was further catapulted by his marriage to Marilyn Monroe, succumbed Thursday night, his assistant, Julia Bolus, told the Associated Press.
Miller, who was battling cancer and pneumonia, reportedly died of congestive heart failure. He had been receiving hospice care in New York but earlier this week, Miller asked to be taken by ambulance to his longtime home in Roxbury, Conn., where he passed away. Prior to his death, family and friends had gathered at the bedside of the ailing theater legend, the New York Post reported.
Miller's career was marked by early success. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Death of a Salesman in 1949, when he was just 33. His other works included The Crucible, A View from the Bridge and After the Fall, which was viewed, in part, as a fictionalized account of his tumultuous marriage to Monroe.
In a 1992 interview with a French newspaper, he called Monroe "highly self-destructive" and said that during their union, "all my energy and attention were devoted to trying to help her solve her problems. Unfortunately, I didn't have much success."
Reminiscing about Monroe in his 1987 autobiography, Timebends: A Life, Miller wrote: "To have survived, she would have had to be either more cynical or even further from reality than she was. Instead, she was a poet on a street corner trying to recite to a crowd pulling at her clothes."
Over his career, Miller received Tony Awards for All My Sons (1947), Death of a Salesman (1949) and The Crucible (1953). He also received a lifetime achievement Tony in 1999. During his acceptance speech, Miller, who had become disillusioned by the politics of Broadway, said: "I hope that a new dimension and fresh resolve will inspire the powers that be to welcome fiercely ambitious playwrights."
During the 1970s and '80s, Miller fell out of favor with the critics. But his popularity soared again in the late '90s with acclaimed revivals of A View from the Bridge, Death of a Salesman, The Price and The Crucible. All four plays were nominated for Tony Awards, with the first two winning. His latest play, Finishing the Picture, about his experiences with Monroe on the set of their ill-fated movie The Misfits, premiered in Chicago last fall to mixed reviews.
By Miller's side before his death were his daughter, Rebecca, an actress who is married to actor Daniel Day-Lewis; his grandchildren; and his 34-year-old girlfriend, the painter Agnes Barley.

HeinOnline and Law Review Citation Patterns

Law Library Journal, Vol. 103, No. 1, pp. 55-70, Winter 2011

The authors tested the proposition that the ubiquity of HeinOnline in law libraries would alter law review citation patterns. Has HeinOnline's provision of the full runs of law reviews in full text led to more citations to older materials? This article reports the results of the study they undertook to test this theory.

According to Globalpost.com, TED NUGENT has given his US Secret Service admirers backstage passes to a show Thursday in Oklahoma, Bloomberg reported today.
The rocker and gun control opponent has to explain why he called President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden "criminals" on the weekend.
At a National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis, Nugent also said he would be "dead or in jail" if Obama was re-elected this November.
During a radio interview today with Glenn Beck, Nugent insisted he's not coming after anyone, and the situation has been overblown.
"I've never threatened anybody's life in my life," Nugent said, according to Bloomberg. "I don't waste my breath threatening."

West Virginia Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Army National Guard Maj. Gen. James Hoyer joined state and local leaders Wednesday to break ground on a $13.15 million readiness center that all believe will spur further economic growth in the area.
Construction on Phase I of the Buckhannon Readiness Center will begin shortly, and it will take 20-24 months to complete the project along Brushy Fork Road. The facility also will house a conference center, which will be run by the Upshur County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"This sets an example to the rest of the nation in leadership, cooperation and teamwork," Hoyer said. "Everybody came together in a bipartisan fashion to make this happen. We as West Virginians ought to be proud that we are leading the way."

West Virginia Army National Guard Maj. Gen. James Hoyer praises the community for coming together to make the new West Virginia Army National Guard readiness center in Buckhannon possible. The $13 million facility is expected to open within the next two years.
Capito said it will be the teamwork shown by Upshur County and Buckhannon leaders, along with the state lawmakers, that will make the request for Phase II funding rise to the top. She said construction projects such as this one will find tougher funding requirements in the wake of projected budget cuts to the Department of Defense.
"I am going to fight like heck to make sure we don't cut the Department of Defense," she said. "We cannot cripple the advance and modernization of projects."
Tomblin said the 6,500 members of the state's National Guard lead the nation in readiness, saying it showed its capabilities in the aftermath of the June 29 storm that devastated most of West Virginia.
"Many of your own families were dealing with the high temperatures and no electricity," said Tomblin, who noted the National Guard delivered more than 2 million bottles of water and 1 million pounds of ice to state residents. "I know it couldn't have been easy to leave their homes."
The new center will replace the Armory along West Virginia Route 20, and the work to do so began five years ago when local leaders learned of the potential to lose the old facility and the accompanying jobs.
The Upshur County Commission purchased the land and arranged for other financial obligations to be met to help push the project forward.
"We took a leap of faith and trusted God and Sen. (Robert C.) Byrd to provide the funding," Commissioner Donnie Tenney said.
Upshur County Economic Development Authority director Steve Foster said he could not "emphasize enough how exciting a day this is for Upshur County.
"It was five years ago when we first met with the Army National Guard and started to dream," he said. "It's been a long time in coming, but we are still as excited today as we were five years ago when we began pursuing this dream."
Buckhannon Mayor Kenny Davidson said bringing projects like this to Upshur County will help his town survive.
"We cannot survive as a city by surrounding ourselves with thick, black city limit signs," he said. "These community lines extend down to Charleston and to Washington, D.C."
The construction project was awarded to a St. Albans firm, Paramount Builders. Omni Architects Associates designed the building.
Phase II will be completed when the funding is appropriated by Congress. The building will be the home of the 601st Engineering Co, the 1935th Contracting Team and the 229th Engineering Detachment.

The owner of Smitty's Custom Automotive, Chris Smith, started his business as a basic body shop in 1999, but since has had 20 full magazine features about restorations he has completed.
"It started when I built a 1967 GMC Truck within a year of opening and we took it to large shows," Smith, 37, said. "I got a magazine shoot and it was voted top 10 custom trucks of 2001."
Smith said he has one the biggest awards in the business, by making the "Great 8" in 2007 and 2010.

Chris Smith, owner of Smitty's Custom Automotive, works on a '67 Chevy truck in his shop. While Smith owns this truck, he has worked on seven other vehicles at this shop so far this year.
"This recognizes the top eight cars in the country," Smith said.
Customers hear about Smith's custom-designed cars at car shows or read about them in magazines and bring in their own sketch or painting of a customized vehicle they want built.
"We have customers come from around the country that come to us with an idea or a rendering and we build them the car of their dreams," he said.
Smith did some work on a truck for Bascom resident Paul Hemminger.
"Nobody in Tiffin can do a paint job like Smitty," Hemminger said. "All I can say is he is recognized by what he does. His work speaks for itself."
Customers bring in a vehicle, and often have it stripped down to the frame to be redesigned.
Smith said he is working on seven cars this year.
Jobs can take from 800 hours to 6,000 hours, Smith said.
Smith said his shop, located on TR 98 just south of Tiffin, has the capability and resources to make "absolutely anything."
"We went from basic restorations and body work to building full custom ground up show cars and race cars," Smith said.
Smith's vehicles have been featured in many magazines, including Sport Truck, Truckn, Classic Trucks, Street Trucks, Car Craft, Hot Rod and Super Chevy.
"My dad was always into old cars and going to car shows, so naturally was I," Smith said. "I told him we could start a small body shop - in the shop -and do some old cars too."
Smith bought the shop from his father within two years of opening and since has added personnel, trailers and equipment.
"We have 48-foot and 30-foot enclosed trailers that allow us to transport vehicles safely from coast to coast and sometimes Canada," Smith said.
"Over the years we have added employees," Smith said.
Smith said five work in the shop now.
"In 2002, my brother Tony started working with us and my dad taught him the metal fab stuff and I taught him how to do body work," Smith said.
Some tools in the metal fabrication section include an English wheel, pneumatic bead roller, MIG and TIG welders, equipment for shearing and tube bending and notching, band saws, car lifts and racks.
"We also sell custom wheels and tires and there is a soft mount machine, capable of rims up to 26" in diameter," Smith said. "We can ensure safe mounting with no damage to the rim."
Smitty's also handles car audio and electronics, regular
collision work and the basic oil change.

Up at 6:10

1 medium liquid fat bomb
8:00 10 slices salami

More puzzling food interactions. I wasn't that hungry in the morning, but I had a lot to do, and I wanted to keep to a three meals schedule, so I ate a moderate breakfast, then set out on my errands.
Same thing for lunch. I knew I was about to be busy with my friends, didn't want to look up and find it was four o'clock, and too late for lunch, too early for dinner. So I chose something easy that I thought would carry me to about six o'clock.
Well, six came and went. I wasn't hungry, and forgot about eating, I was having too much fun. I noticed at seven thiry. Then there was a little stress: thought I wasn't going to make it in time to do something I needed to, and I ended up eating for calming effects, but not because I was hungry.
I think if I can break away from my 'mental' need to eat, I might be eating quite a bit less now and then.
I had a good time with my friends, and got a surprising amount done, too. I am more than 3/4 of the way through the block sewing and trimming for my latest quilt. I should be able to start sewing the blocks together on Friday. Yay! I am looking forward to having this quilt on my bed before fall. I have too many projects that lost steam, and are sitting in boxes, so it feels great to be zipping along on this one.
Completion satisfaction, very primal.

I had a small piece of cake today (as it is my birthday!) from the co-workers
Been feeling pretty sick to my stomach ever since, funny how I don't notice anything when I eat gluten but something in highly processed foods really makes me feel it. Considering the ingredient list could have passed for a small novel, unsure of what that is
I limit "cheating" to times (like today) where I don't have an option.
Make yourself a low carb cheesecake or check out some low carb or keto cook blogs and they have some great recipes, you will feel like you are cheating when you are not. I feel horrible if I go back on carbs so I try and keep that in mind but I'm just nicely back on track after 2 weeks of a carbfest (or was it 3?) Do your best and Happy Fathers Day.
