Book Title: The Gilboa Iris
Author: Zahava Englard
Publisher: Gefen Publishing (2012)
I read The Gilboa Iris by fellow Times of Israel blogger, Zahava Englard a few months back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, in the new style of things, there is a video trailer for the book. With plenty of cool shots of Israeli scenes. You can find my review after the video.
This review is directed at (probably) men who would normally be choosing an action thriller for the beach.
The first thing to note is the glorious descriptions of Israel and the firm foundation of the roots of the battle for survival that Israel and it's people face all the time. Zahava nails this completely.
This book crosses boundaries. It's not a drifting romantic story though for the first few chapters you might think it was headed that way.
It's not a technical action thriller in the style of a Brad Thor or a Vince Flynn but it certainly delves into the mysterious world of Israel's external security service, The Mossad.
The action is very well described and, from my point of view as someone more likely to read an action book, Zahava certainly satisfied this side.
On the romance side there was a huge and enjoyable difference between this book and the pure action genre; Zahava's female characters are not one dimensional cut outs to move the action along to the next scene.
To sum up: I thoroughly enjoyed this trip into a genre (romance/adventure) that I wouldn't normally take because it spoke to me in many ways: action, Israel and the author's pride for where she obviously lives.

Jordan Brand's decision to release matching Slide models with Air Jordan retro releases seems a bit sporadic, but we'll take what we can get. We've seen the Slides twice this year, once for the Air Jordan III 'True Blue' and then for the 'Stealths' and we're getting them again to coincide with the Air Jordan XIV 'Light Graphite'. As usual, the sandal mimics its namesake colorway, keeping the aesthetics intact despite having drastically less space to work with. Take a full look at the Air Jordan XIV Slide 'Light Graphite' after the jump and let us know if you'll be grabbing these. If so, SoleFly has them in stock right now.

After the first few games of the season the common joke was, "Ohio State can't pass." Last week against Illinois, Ohio State embraced that. Now the joke is on Ron Zook.
The Buckeyes cranked the Tressel-ball knob to 11 on a visit to Champaign, and the box score looks like something you would see from a Georgia Tech or Army game. Fifty-one rushes to just four pass attempts. Quarterback Braxton Miller finished with twice as many rushing yards (34) as passing yards (17).
Part of the Buckeyes success on the ground comes from the return of Dan Herron from suspension; Herron led the team in rushing yards with 114 on a 5 yard-per-carry average, as well as scoring Ohio State's only rushing touchdown. It also helped OSU's cause that the one pass of four that Miller completed was a 17-yard touchdown to Jake Stoneburner.
Of course, nearly shutting out an opponent on defense helps as well. Ohio State held Illinois to 285 yards of total offense and averages of five yards per pass attempt and 3.3 yards per carry. On top of that, Ohio State recovered one fumble and got two interceptions.
Is this a winning formula for the future? If any team has the raw talent on both sides of the ball to do it, it would be Ohio State. However, even after facing three of the five toughest teams in the conference so far (Michigan State, Nebraska, Illinois) Ohio State doesn't get much time to rest after this week's bye.
Let's put on our prognostication hats and try to answer the question: how many games can Ohio State win this year without throwing a pass?

Chris Hansen Accused of Cheating, Gets Exactly What's Coming to Him (UPDATED)
Update, 2:17 p.m.: Random Pixels blogger Bill Cooke has put up the Hansen spread, complete with a photo of Hansen leaving a Palm Beach liquor store, his wedding ring gleaming in the sunlight.
He's Chris Hansen, the former host of NBC's To Catch A Predator, who built a career around pretending to be a cop so he could plant would-be pedophiles on stools and get them to blabber on national television about how sorry they are. You know, in the name of justice (and making as much money as possible).
Well, the National Enquirer says it caught him -- on camera -- cheating on his wife with a South Florida newscaster. And yeah, he's one of the 30 people she follows on Twitter, which these days is pretty much the same thing.
The Enquirer's online post claims the full article is "ON SALE NOW!" but the July 4 edition currently on newsstands doesn't mention Hansen.
We're taking the claim, like all others from the National Enquirer, with a grain of salt, but it should be noted that the supermarket tabloid was right about the affairs of Jesse Jackson, Gary Hart and John Edwards, and then again about Edwards' love child. This is kind of their specialty. They say they've got photos, but we haven't seen them yet.
If it's true, it couldn't have happened to a bigger sleazeball.
Upcoming Events
This is not an endorsement of pedophilia. Repeated, for the sake of the comments section: Attempting to have intercourse with children is wrong. But for a "journalist" to lure men to a house and then coerce them into an interview under false pretenses is not justice, or karma, or a service to society -- it is ratings, and it is disgusting.
Yes, yes -- we're supposed to be really mean to pedophiles. But that's the job of the courts and big prisoners named Treestump, not a guy who's supposed to be an investigative reporter. And now Hansen's been hoisted with his own petard, except somehow even the National Enquirer reporters ended up acting more like journalists than he did in his Predator days.
The man does not have an ethical bone in his body, and now even his wife and kids know it.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

I will not tell you how to approach every conversation. Just be honest, don't be an ass and use common sence. If your told not to do something, don't do it unless I say otherwise (I'll get deeper into this in Chapter 5). Always ask every question unless I say otherwise. Also, always assume I follow-up (yellow triangle) when in a conversation unless I say otherwise. If you are having troubles with the converstaion, don't be afraid to ask.
Time: 5:00 to 5:20 pm
a) Go to the front desk, observe it. Select the bell. Ring it 3 times.

c) Walk away from the front desk. Helen enters. Listen to the conversation.
d) Head north towards the lobby. Note: If you don't interrupt Dunning after asking about the package, Hyde will remember Dunning saying it better not cause him trouble which will open a new question to ask him, although it isn't important so you ask him later to get it out of the way. Observe the vending machine. Pan to the vending machine's left side. Observe the sticker. I recommend writing it down in your notebook. Note: Here is the first random numbers you will find.

Speak with Jeff. Ask about Melissa. Head west towards Room 215. Use your key to open the door. Go inside.
h) Head to the phone. Observe and select the phone. Speak with Rachel. Note: On a second play through, conversations with Rachel will be different.

Go to your suitcase. Observe the suitcase then use your suitcase key to open it. The key will break. Louis knocks on the door. Note: On my second play through, Louis did not come to the door, so I went down to the front desk and asked Dunning all the questions I didn't the first time through as well as asking him who Melissa was. I then headed back in my room. After I got in, Louis came to the door.
i) Click on the box to grab it from Louis. Note: Be sure not to let him leave and donâ??t be an ass either or he'll tell Dunning you're a cop and you will be kicked out of the hotel.

FDA Approves Actelion's Opsumit to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
– 10/21/2013
FDA Approves Opsumit to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
October 21, 2013 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Opsumit (macitentan), a new drug to treat adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a chronic, progressive and debilitating disease that can lead to death or the need for lung transplantation.
PAH is high blood pressure that occurs in the arteries that connect the heart to the lungs. It causes the right side of the heart to work harder than normal, which can lead to limitations on exercise ability and shortness of breath. Opsumit belongs to a class of drugs called endothelin receptor blockers, which act to relax the pulmonary arteries, decreasing blood pressure in the lungs.
Opsumit's safety and effectiveness were established in a long-term clinical trial where 742 participants were randomly assigned to take Opsumit or placebo. The average treatment duration was about two years. In the study, Opsumit was effective in delaying disease progression, a finding that included a decline in exercise ability, worsening symptoms of PAH or need for additional PAH medication.
Similar to other members of its drug class, Opsumit carries a Boxed Warning alerting patients and health care professionals that the drug should not be used in pregnant women because it can harm the developing fetus. Female patients can receive the drug only through the Opsumit Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program. This restricted-distribution program requires prescribers to be certified by enrolling in the program; all female patients to be enrolled in the program and comply with applicable pregnancy testing and contraception requirements before initiating treatment; and pharmacies to be certified and to dispense Opsumit only to patients who are authorized to receive it.
Common side effects observed in those treated with Opsumit include low red blood cell count (anemia), common cold-like symptoms (nasopharyngitis), sore throat, bronchitis, headache, flu and urinary tract infection.
Opsumit is marketed by San Francisco-based Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc.

This Day in History: Georgia Legislature Ratifies Women's Suffrage Amendment... in 1970!
By Steve Goss • Feb 20, 2013
Today is Feb. 20, and if we were to turn Georgia's clock back to this date in 1970, we'd find the Georgia General Assembly voting in favor of ratifying the 19th Amendment -- more than 50 years after it had become law.
Georgia State University Associate Professor of History Dr. Clifford Kuhn talks with WABE's Steve Goss about the events that led to the passage and ratification of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote.

Greater Gabbard is one of a quartet of UK offshore projects that came on line last year
Alan O'Neill
UK offshore: better luck next year
07 November 2013 04:11 GMT
All systems go at 500MW Greater Gabbard offshore wind
10 September 2012 08:21 GMT
In Depth: Sheringham Shoal is the key to 9GW Dogger Bank
14 September 2012 03:41 GMT
By Kirk Edelman
Wednesday, January 01 2014
Updated: Tuesday, January 07 2014
Developers, suppliers and investors have shown strong commitment to the sector, not least in the leading markets, the UK and Germany.
Four large projects came on line off the English coast. Greater Gabbard, Gunfleet Sands 3, Sheringham Shoal and the world's biggest offshore wind farm, the 630MW London Array, took national installed capacity from 1.86GW to 3.32GW. They have helped cement Britain's position as a world leader in offshore wind, which is attracting investment from a widening group of participants.
With continued government support, the UK is likely to remain the largest offshore wind producer for the foreseeable future.
On the other side of the North Sea, Germany was no laggard either. The 288MW Butendiek reached financial close in 2013, with Siemens Financial Services, the Marguerite Fund and two Danish pension funds investing equity along with the developer, WPD. Equity and debt financing amounted to €1.3bn ($2.12bn).
That said, German offshore has been hampered by changing political attitudes, as well as a failure to connect wind farms to the grid on schedule and a number of developer bankruptcies. Nonetheless, significant progress is being made with planned projects such as Dong Energy's Gode Wind 1 and 2.
The challenges the sector faced in 2013, especially in Germany, are unlikely to disappear. Germany's nervousness is due to the need to rebalance its energy system as it abandons nuclear. In Europe's biggest economy, this presents complex challenges and will take time.
The UK's Electricity Market Reform proposals, published in July, initially heightened investor uncertainty. The proposals involved changing the pricing mechanism from the Renewables Obligation Contract system to Contract for Difference, to improve transparency and fair price-setting. This led to concerns that the suggested level of the "strike price" could deter future investment.
Furthermore, RWE pulled the plug on its 1.2GW, £4bn ($6.52bn) Atlantic Array off southwest England in November, causing alarm among investors and the supply chain. ScottishPower Renewables then announced that it was walking away from the Argyll Array, a development of up to 1.8GW. However, the UK government heeded the industry's call for more financial support and raised the strike price, sending positive signals to potential investors that backing for offshore wind was firm. This sort of recognition of the industry's successes and potential is essential to build investor confidence.
Three models have been established for financing offshore projects.
The first is the utility equity model, in which the utility finances the project entirely on its balance sheet. Until recently, offshore wind was mainly funded in this manner.
Then there's the developer model, used most successfully by Dong. The company develops, builds and finances a project itself, thereby retaining the construction risk, before selling a minority stake to institutional investors.
In the project finance/developer model, construction risks are passed to commercial bank lenders. This third model offers the most potential for bringing the required liquidity to the sector, perhaps mixed with the expansion of institutional appetite for debt and equity investments. That said, if we are to see a significant increase in the number of large offshore projects, bank financing capacity may eventually become constrained.
These debt capacity concerns are most acute in funding the construction phase, meaning the industry will have to develop structures that appeal to other investor classes, such as institutional investors, to attract capital. Fortunately, that is what appears to be happening as bank lending and institutional investor confidence are rising. There is optimism and willingness to continue investing, thanks in part to a better understanding of the risks, as well as the greater political commitment.
Despite the choppy waters of 2013, the industry weathered the storms, producing several notable success stories. With the UK's renewed commitment to offshore, the industry can look forward to a year of building momentum for a technology that is likely to become the leading renewables sector in the energy mix.

Time Warner
Usenet is in the news today, but not for something as trivial as downloading music or movies or anything, but for efforts against child pornography.

Some 88 groups have been identified in the plan, which contained as many… Read More
How quickly will you shoot past Time Warner's 40GB bandwidth cap?
How quickly would you reach Time Warner's 40GB data cap? I'd be finished in like a week. No lie. By now you're probably well aware of Time Warner's scheme to charge you by the gigabyte.

Time Warner working on mystery "Internet TV" project
This is a little out of left field, but it could also be interesting. Time Warner Cable is planning on releasing a set-top box to its customers with a built-in cable modem to allow them to watch "Internt TV" on their televisions. The thing is, there's no additional information on what this might be. Time Warner already has set-top cable boxes with full digital and HD… Read More
Why Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and online streaming are threatening cable companies
Comedy Central said last week that it will stream the comedy triumvirate of "The Daily Show," "The Colbert Report," and "South Park," in their entirety, on Fancast.com. (Silly name, but whatever.) Beyond the "wow, neat" reaction, there's something else going on here that we already hinted at a few days ago: what if people, seeing all… Read More
Irony: Los Angeles has really cruddy HDTV selection
Tough times for Los Angelenos wanting to watch HDTV. Apartment dwellers in the city are, apparently, fed up with Time Warner's foot-dragging when it comes to expanding HD content, especially those who aren't allowed to install a DirecTV or Dish Network satellite dish. Right now, Los Angeles ranks dead last in HD channel availability in the top five TV markets in the country. (LA… Read More
$3.2 Billion WiMax Deal Goes Through. Take Cover.
The deal to combine Sprint Nextel's and Clearwire's fledgling WiMax businesses that was rumored last March is finally expected to go through.

Could AOL Be Next on Microsoft's List?
With Microsoft walking away from the Yahoo deal, there's been a lot of talk about what it's next best option would be. Going after AOL is an obvious choice.

The Times of London is reporting that Microsoft… Read More
Time Warner thinking of selling Time Warner Cable
In an earnings call today Time Warner reported that it was planning to spin off its Cable holdings, "under the right circumstances." No specifics were noted but Time Warner Cable is obviously bolted on to the weak AOL and TW media holdings and not quite the best fit for a media company in the first place, synergy be damned. TWC had a $771 million in profit last quarter, which is… Read More
Why oh why does OpenDNS keep telling me Facebook is 'down'? It's not!

Verizon sues Time Warner over misleading anti-FiOS commercial: See it for yourself
Cable companies' ads are typically woeful, but misleading? That's unthinkable. Or is it? Not if you ask Verizon. And, please, do, they'd love to hear from you. Verizon filed suit today against Time Warner, Internet darling, claiming that one of its ads is a pack of lies. You can see the ad for yourself right up there. Verizon says the ad misrepresents its FTTP service, FiOS… Read More
Comcast, Time Warner to help fund Sprint's WiMax
In order for Sprint and Clearwire to really get this WiMax thing underway nationwide, they're going to need some pretty substantial moolah — like $3 billion.

Smelling Trouble Behind AOL's $850 Million Bebo Deal
When AOL bought Bebo for $850 million last week, CEO Randy Falco and COO Ron Grant believed the social network would help save AOL from its downward spiral.

Tribune Opinion: Thanks to Gardner, Bennet, Udall for securing mitigation funding
April 5, 2013
Apparently, Congress can get something accomplished.
With good reason, we've been hard on Congress for the failure of lawmakers to work together constructively to solve problems. But this past week, we saw senators and representatives from both parties work together to ensure funding for efforts to clear the city's water of soot and ash after last year's High Park fire.
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Colorado Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall spearheaded the fight for the funding. They initially fought for the mitigation money in a disaster relief bill for Hurricane Sandy, but the funding was excluded in the final version.
Last week, however, President Obama signed into law a bill that includes $65.5 million for the Emergency Watershed Protection program, which will help Colorado communities recovering from last summer's devastating Waldo Canyon and High Park fires.
We don't yet know how much of the money will go toward the High Park areas — where city of Greeley water officials have been working since last summer to mitigate the damage to water supplies caused by the fire — but it looks like the number will be between $8.5 million and $10.5 million.
That money will make a huge difference and could pay for nearly the entire cost of the mitigation efforts. If the money hadn't been approved, water officials would have would have had to prioritize which areas got the most mitigation, and may have had to raise rates for water users to pay for the effort.
All three lawmakers deserve our thanks for their work on this funding, but Gardner deserves a special thanks.
With his background in agriculture, Gardner has a clear understanding of the importance of water in this region. He used that knowledge, and a dogged determination, to raise the alarm early and convince others in Congress that spending the money was right thing to do.
We're glad his work was successful.

Despite the development branch of Two Tribes closing down a few weeks ago, the team left at the publisher is still looking to bring a new game to the Wii U. According to a recent tweet, a new "classic" game title will be available on the Wii U. The team previously brought their old games to the console, including EDGE and RUSH, in addition to Toki Tori 2 which debuted on Steam and the Wii U. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say Frenzic, which was a DSi Ware title. What about you?
Looks like we'll be announcing a new classic coming to Wii U soon. Can you guess which one?

Toon are up, are the `big boys` ready!!
6 points for the Gooners next season - And an ex Bin-Lid as your gaffer... Nice!
The way the toon have been playing they will yoyo next season, my mate supports them and says he can`t believe they are going up after watching them play Doncaster
But anyway, to cut a long "Who's Going To Win The League" thread short................. not Arsenal.
Think It's the Chavs to lose now - but we'll see. My god i hope we don't get smashed out in the Camp Nou tonight.... No Song, No Shava, No Jesus, No Gallas, No chance!
I've gotta say mate, it could get woeful if barca play as they did for three quarters of last weeks match. Never seen anything like it, not at top level anyway.
It was more embarrassing than the first half of the Liverpool v AC Milan champs league final 2005, and that's saying something.
I don't want the gunners to win, but I hope they don't get spanked. Would much rather Man utd be on the receiving end of that!
My mate thinks B52 is going to drop some bombs on Barca tonight....
Come on Nicky B :icon_thumright:

I've actually been harassed way too many times, at one point (because it all started off when I was young 14) I just started to think it was the every day norm for a woman to be harassed, either verbally or physically. But now I understand that it isn't something your supposed to be used to.
I spent my adolescent years being physically and verbally assaulted, from being molested, to having some stranger call me a slag. All unprovoked.
I've had men try and put their hands up my dress on a night out, to men pinning me up walls from behind and kissing my neck.
I've even had friends dads touching my breasts, but I was so scared during every encounter I've had with these men that I had never said anything, thinking that if I said anything than they would take it further.
I thought I should say something, as I've never really told anyone before. Only my partner, and it's comforting being able go acknowledged that I am not alone. That it's something that all woman must go through.
I was at rockfest in Kansas City and while me and one of my friends were listening to a band on the main stage these guys came up behind us. The crowd was really tight so everyone was packed together really close. One of the guys tried to start up a conversation but I shut him down and turned back to watching the music. A crowd surfer was coming toward us and fell just in front pushing me backward into him. All i could feel was his hand on my ass. I jumped forward and turned around, he apologized, smirking, and said that it had been an accident. I was definately feeling more uncomfortable but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I turned around and tried to enjoy the concert. the next thing I knew he was right behind me with his hand between my legs from behind. Now I have never been physically assaulted before so reaction is not my strong suit, but I turned around and shoved him as hard as a could. He was still smiling as I grabbed my friend and dragged her away. The worst part was probably her reaction. She acted like it was just another thing that happens at rock concerts when these guys get drunk. NO. I don't care how much alcohol he had it does not give him the right to touch me. And it honestly makes me more sad that some women just accept it as a part of life.
I work downtown and will either take the bus home or walk. A few months ago, probably in February or March, I noticed a man hit on a woman as I left work around 8pm. She brushed him off and he tried to talk to me, but I ignored him and kept walking. I had to run some errands so I stopped by Target, and was talking on the phone to my mom when he tapped me on the shoulder. He said he knew I was in the middle of a conversation but he really "liked [my] look" and wanted to talk to me. I told him to wait until I was finished talking if he wanted to speak with me, and walked away.
A month or two later, I was waiting at my usual bus stop when the same man came up to me. He struck up a conversation with me, and not wanting to be rude, I talked to him for a bit. When he asked me if I was an artist, I told him I had designed the image on my t-shirt. He laughed and said "Well, now I'm looking directly at your chest." Thankfully that was the moment my bus came, and when he asked me out for coffee I told him I wasn't interested, and had to leave.
Those were both downtown. Tonight, I was walking home from work again and was stopped at an intersection closer to my neighborhood. I turned to look at something and saw the same man behind me, so I quickly turned away obviously not wanting to be engaged in conversation. He walked all the way around me until he was right in front of my face and couldn't be ignored and said "Hello, you know you look really cute." I felt like this guy needed to be put in his place, so I told him that I saw through his act and he had done this to me several times before. Rather than being ashamed, he was delighted, and said "Really! Wow! I thought you looked familiar!" I forcefully told him that I was not interested in talking to him and that I was trying to make my way home in peace. He said "Well I just thought someone should tell you you looked cute." I walked away from him without a word.
I've not only had uncomfortable interactions with this particular man in the last few months, but have had multiple notable sexist interactions with men in the last week alone, all while simply trying to commute home from work. I feel uncomfortable to even walk out my door or wear something that shows a bit more skin. It is not acceptable to be made to feel this way simply trying to get to and from work.
I was walking through a shopping mall to escape some of the summer heat, and had just gotten off the escalator to visit a few other shops. A man in his early twenties approached me politely and asked if I knew where the nearest Indian restaurant was; I gave him the intersection with the nearest restaurant. So far, so normal!
Next, he said: "Please feel free to say yes or no, but would you like to try my Indian juices?" (This was his ethnic background.) I was so shocked, at first, I just said, "No, but thanks" and walked away into the nearest store. After simmering for about thirty seconds and feeling my heartrate do all kinds of crazy things, I realized that leaving our interaction at that was wrong, especially with the number of other young women/girls walking in the mall that day.
I walked back out and to the guy, who seemed surprised to see me coming.
"Do you realize that the question you asked me could be taken sexually?" I asked him. No reason to assume ill intent if he was just really, truly culturally ignorant. Sadly, he wasn't. He immediately began to shuffle his feet and admit that, no, he knew what it meant, but he was just "really bored" and an engineering student at X University for the summer.
"It's not appropriate. I'm twenty-nine, but if you approach a seventeen-year-old and say that, there's going to be a problem. That is not appropriate to say."
He whined that he was just trying to find something to do with his summer.
"It's not appropriate. Hope you find something better to do with your summer," was my final comment before walking away.
Then, I went into a shop nearby and immediately reported him to the cashier and asked that she call security. Two guards responded within the next ten minutes.
Calling this person out and then reporting it made me feel more in control; as a survivor of past physical assault, this kind of verbal confrontation makes me feel all of the awful physiological reactions to an assault all over again (nausea, headache, heart palpitations, sweating). Dealing with this individual as a proactive adult, and not as a reactive victim, does help relieve those feelings, but I still feel gross! This kind of behavior is 100% unacceptable. Hopefully, my efforts plus those of the security who escorted him from the mall will help him realize that.
On my way home from getting groceries after work today I was walking along a very busy street with one side being redone resulting in the erection of a janky, narrow two-lane temporary sidewalk. A man walked towards me innocuously and as we crossed paths he reached his hand out and cupped my breast. I stopped and the chicken cutlets in my grocery bag gently hit my thigh. I thought, did I imagine that?
I turned around and watched the man in the hooded sweater continue walking. The man had just touched my breast as if he were pushing the crosswalk button and now I was letting him walk away. But what could I do? It seemed the moment had passed. The barely perceivable moment of shame had passed and I was the only witness and no one would fight for me. I suddenly remembered the same feeling of helplessness mixed with fear flooding over me when I had been a student in New York my freshman year in 2009. I had been on my way to tutor at Tompkins square middle school on the east side of the notoriously shady Tompkins Square park and I had been texting on my blackberry half watching where I was walking. On a similarly deserted side street in a popular neighborhood, a man, jerked his arm into my breast sending my sad little blackberry flying out of my hand and onto the sidewalk. I stood there stupefied not knowing what to do. I even remember wondering how I could have provoked his fury. As I now watched the man who bore so many parallels to my faceless aggressor from the lower east side I realized very quickly that while they may have not changed, I had. Here I was in my law firm work clothes, I was grocery shopping, no longer mooching from Weinstein and Kimmel! I pivoted on my toe and began clop clop clopping in my kitten heels towards the faceless man who had just touched my breast. He glanced back and kept walking straight. I yelled after him "Pourquoi vous m'avez faites ça?" He began to pick up his pace. He was picking up his pace and now I was pursuing him, how rich! I yelled again, "Pourquoi vous m'avez faites ça?!" We turned off rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, out of the janky temporary sidewalk, and onto the heavily populated Boulevard de la Villette. My heels were not letting me catch up with him and I yelled a third time "Pourquoi vous m'avez faites ça!?" A young boy in a suit around my age, and a mother pushing a stroller with two little girls hooked to her waist looked at me, then at him, then kept walking. The man was speeding up and I could not catch him. I had spent a minute of my life chasing this coward down the street and with my thoughts boiling over and my limited French I could only think of one final succinct phrase to yell at him: "Vous êtes un lâche!"
I stopped and my chicken cutlets hit my thigh again. I was shaking badly, the adrenaline was rushing, but I was smiling. I turned around to walk back towards my apartment. I crossed the mother I had passed and she seemed to understand what had happened and asked me if everything was okay. I told her, Yes.
My Maman had always told me if there was danger, to go away from it. Her favorite anecdote is that of the safety lesson the plane stewardess gives the cabin before takeoff. Should there be a problem with the air pressure, the stewardess instructs you to first put on your mask, then and only then, may you help others. With my Maman's blunt twist, the moral of the story is summarized as such: You can't save anyone if you're dead! So I apologize, Maman, for going towards the danger. But you see, the danger turned out to be a ruse. Admittedly, at the moment I pivoted I didn't know what I would do. I had imagined so many times before, following other street-slights, crude looks and creepy words, "I will slap him so hard"…But this man was not in slapping distance. He was far away. I didn't imagine I would run to catch him and start a fight. What provoked me to keep going was his reaction. He ran away. The moment I refused to be the victim and hand him the aggressor role I found him deflated of the initial danger he had posed to me. In fact, as he picked up his pace, I realized exactly what these faceless street aggressors are. Shameful cowards who believe their nearly imperceptible act will go unpunished. I have never been harassed by a pack of boys or men. I have only been shamed in silent incidents like this in which their often-complicated retelling seems to be completely imbalanced compared to the time and place in which they took to happen. Perhaps this is why they continue to occur.
In yelling after this man I called attention to myself and perhaps a normal Parisian would have never done this. But I called attention to him as well. I dragged the moment of shame to hang over both of us and as far as I'm concerned I no longer have anything to be ashamed for. For so many words used about this incident, I could have just as easily summed it up here: that piece of shit had no right to touch me. Not the first one on the lower east side and not this one in the 10eme arrondissement of Paris. The faceless man doesn't have the right to touch you, and you weren't dreaming. He does it because he thinks you wont act back. As if you ought to feel shame for being on the street and buying chicken cutlets for dinner. No. This is for my girls. The faceless creep is universal and he is not worthy to touch you. The only shame is in letting the moment pass.
I ran up to the corner store to grab a couple things. When I left the store it started raining a little bit so I was getting ready to start my jog home. As I left the corner store a man opened the door for me. So I thanked him for the kind gesture. I started to jog away when he shouted "Uh huh get it nice and wet for me!"
I was coming home from college, late at night. In the subway, I felt the look of a man who was standing next to me. I choose not to care. Then, he followed me out of my usual station. I was scared so I walk faster and faster. He started screaming "are you afraid bitch ? Why are you afraid" and laughing. I keep walking without answering. Then, I enter a bar so he stopped following me. I was sweating and shaking but no one noticed.
A guy walks up to me from the other side of the aisle, leans his head really close to mine and mumbles "how are you beautiful". I was shopping for craft supplies. I felt like my personal space and my person was violated. The fact that he went out of his way to say that to me made me unnerved and scared.
I came early to see a Fall Out Boy concert at the Concord Pavilion. I was dressed for the concert in my cat crop top and cat tights (I'm guessing this is why there was a bit of a theme between my catcallers). We were all told that if we had parked at the nearby Safeway parking lot, we needed to repark our cars or they'd be towed. I left my friend and walked alone down to Safeway- it was only like 1 PM so I wasn't afraid of going alone. As I was walking, I heard a whistle from a car that was sitting at a light. I'd never been catcalled before so I was surprised but didn't respond. A minute or so later a car slowed down next to me. I didn't notice it at first, but when I glanced up the driver yelled "Me-yow!" before flooring it and speeding away. I'm almost at Safeway when a guy in a red pick-up truck (white, male, mid-40s at least) slows down next to me, just like the other guy, and yells "Why don't you just show me your pussy?" I picked up my pace so I could just get to Safeway and away from this street. I wasn't looking forward to walking back.
Two of my friends and I (ages 16, 17, and 19) were in Asbury Park on a Sunday afternoon. While we were walking the two (relatively) short blocks back to where we had parked, these guys who were probably old enough to be my grandfather or much, much older father stared us down and called after us for the block and a half we had left to walk. Having anxiety, I was petrified so I posted on Facebook about how upsetting it was and I got told to "not look so adult" if I didn't want that to happen and to "keep my feminist bullshit on Tumblr".

There's another subject I'd like to raise here - snapshot cloning. Since we use snapshots for copying our (large) oracle databases for development and crash-test(especially crash test:) purposes, we needed to come up with a way to clone snapshots. By the way - it's a cool way to copy databases and it's being used in solaris/zfs.
Zfs has a send/receive with an incremental mode for remote cloning. Is there anything like that for lvm?

PDE5 is an enzyme found in corpus cavernosum smooth muscle, vascular and visceral smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, platelets, kidney, lung, and cerebellum. The effect of tadalafil is more potent on PDE5 than on other phosphodiesterases. Tadalafil is >10,000-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE1, PDE2, and PDE4 enzymes which are found in the heart, brain, blood vessels, liver, and other organs. Tadalafil is >10,000-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE3, an enzyme found in the heart and blood vessels. This selectivity for PDE5 over PDE3 is important because PDE3 is an enzyme involved in cardiac contractility. Additionally, tadalafil is approximately 700-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE6, an enzyme which is found in the retina and is responsible for phototransduction. Tadalafil is also >10,000-fold more potent for PDE5 than for PDE7 through PDE10.Things you must doFigure 2: Mean change from baseline in standing systolic blood pressure (mmHg) over 6 hour interval following simultaneous or 6 hr separation administration of vardenafil 5 mg or placebo with stable dose tamsulosin 0.4 mg in normotensive BPH patients (Study 1)

Aides for Gov. Butch Otter told the Senate Commerce and Human Resources Committee that Idaho residents will have more control and pay lower costs if the state designs and builds its own exchange.
Meanwhile, Wayne Hoffman of the Idaho Freedom Foundation warned that Otter's bid for Idaho to set up its own online marketplace for individuals and small businesses to buy insurance would put the state under the federal government's thumb.
No committee vote is expected until Thursday.
David Hensley, Otter's chief of staff, said the federal government has $20 million ready to help Idaho set up its own exchange.
The exchange would cost $10 million annually to operate.

The Day George Brett Pooped Himself (VIDEO)
Jun 06
A couple of years ago, this video of Kansas City Royals Hall-of-Famer George Brett telling a poop story came out. He tells a wonderful tale of the time he crapped himself while standing in the lobby of the Bellagio. I know what you're thinking, "Hey, George. You are one dirty third baseman. Please don't shake my hand." Before you read on, I'm going to ask that you watch the video, then rejoin me after the video. So here are some items that I gleaned from this thing: He tells a new poop story at least twice a year. He likes crab legs – but he is unable to distinguish ones that have turned bad before eating them. If he's ever standing still in a hotel lobby, walk the other way. Don't ever borrow his leather jacket, jeans or shoes. Larry is a great friend. He's like The Wolf on Pulp Fiction. I imagine this conversation happened at one point after Brett called him. "That gives us exactly — 40 minutes to get the poop out of your pants. Which, if you do what I say when I say it, should be plenty. Now, you've got diarrhea in your pants and soiled shoes in a bathroom stall. Take me to it." Don't ever get behind George Brett on an escalator. Other Royals players generally move around a lot and try not to look too interested in anything George has to say. Now here are some...Read More

We take a look at the continued prejudice towards indigenous Australians. Experts express concern that human rights are on the slide in Southeast Asia. And an examination of how Hillary Clinton's economic policy has shifted towards that of her colleague Elizabeth Warren. It's Fiery Tuesday, our weekly segment on political and societal news from around the globe. All this and more for the Pagan News Beagle!
PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.
All summer long, he has been our bonny god in green, and we have loved him for it.
But now come the days—so poignant, so bittersweet—for which he is called in the Old Language of the Witches Wulder, for his splendor.
His festive coat of colors he dons now, different each day: Earth's yearly gift of favor to her first-born and (they say) best-loved child.
Alas, such gifts of favor are apt to be preludes to deeds of blood.
"We may need to be cured by flowers.
We may need to strip naked and let the petals fall on our shoulders, down our bellies, against our thighs. We may need to lie naked in fields of wildflowers. We may need to walk naked through beauty. We may need to walk naked through color. We may need to walk naked through scent. We may need to walk naked through sex and death. We may need to feel beauty on our skin. We may need to walk the pollen path, among the flowers that are everywhere....
In a world meted out by clock time, it's easy to forget body time.
When the initiate stands on the threshold, you could tell her: "Come in five minutes."
And she will spend her time watching the glass.
Or you could tell her: "After a thousand heartbeats, come."
And she will spend her time listening.
Listening, and drawing in.
This is such a huge subject it has books all to itself but I will cover just a little about our lovely trees....
In the golden days between Mabon, the Fall Equinox, and Samhain, the beauty of Autumn is on display all around us. The trees are ablaze, the harvest is in, there's a festive mood as we head towards Hallowe'en. There's magick in the air, a sort of enchantment. It's intoxicating,
Under Libra;s influence, all things take on a golden glow. Ruled by Venus, Libra awakens at the Autumn Equinox, holding the balance of light and dark in those famous Scales. As a Cardinal sign, Libra issues in many qualities of the season to come. Libra brings the desire for justice, for fairness, for loving connection. We are suspended between the extroverted joys of the ending Summer, and the beginning of the Descent into introspection and quiet. It is this exquisite tension that calls up the magick of this juicy moment of the year....
According to archaeologist Stephen J. Yeates, the original Tribe of Witches was the Anglo-Saxon people called the Hwicce, who inhabited the Cotswolds and Severn Valley of what is now southwestern England.
These were previously the tribal territories of an early Iron Age Keltic people known as the Dobunni. Both genetics and archeology suggest strong demographic and cultural continuity from the Keltic to the Anglo-Saxon periods.
The name Dobunni, known from inscriptions and Roman historians (Yeates 2-3), is of uncertain etymology. Yeates himself does not discuss a derivation.
It may be, though, that this ethnonym preserves a memory of the origins of the tribe itself.
