02-08-2013, 02:59 AM #1821Nalano's Law - As an online gaming discussion regarding restrictions grows longer, the probability of a post likening the topic to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea approaches one.
Soldant's Law - A person will happily suspend their moral values if they can express moral outrage by doing so.
Sketch, I'll answer that because it's one of Soldant's points which I want to address.
Soldant, I want to have an Internet Discussion about what you've said! I hope that's okay. Points I label with a number are where you've indented with a -.
2. I don't know if Buffy had as far a reaching effect as Anita suggests, but I can certainly see her argument. You have a show with an ensemble cast led by a female, shown from her perspective and whilst giving her feminine traits not defining her character of off those. Instead, her traits are based off the fact that she is The Chosen One and how she contends with that. You have the fact that she fights monsters and ghoulies using her own applied skill (she was a cheerleader early on, right?). Then you have other characters like Willow and so on and so forth. You then also had shows like Alias, Dark Angel etc. etc.
As for the Spice Girls, it can get very contrived if you see them as a marketed attempt at brandishing 'girl power', buuuut, they did believe it, channel it and sometimes something good done for the wrong reason can still be good. A lot of the lyrics were about the women having control; "If you wanna get with me you gotta get with my friends" (I don't know how Cara is with the Spice Girls, but I could do with her help here!). There was definitely a trend of female empowerment for a few years there.
3. (Sketch, tune in here!) So the argument with it changing an object was...well, just that. The damsel is simply interchangeable with an item at this point. You're saying their value is just that. It's a throwback I suppose to that cut in the first video where Bowser and Mario are playing football (?) and then it cuts to Bowser taking Peach or something like that. You're inferring that the woman is basically a disposable item that can just as easily be replaced as a dog, or indeed a beloved blender.
You could certainly say that the fact they put it in was good, but the fact that they also 'boobicised' (I'm making that a word now) her character certainly didn't help matters because even if you're saying "Look, choice!" you're just making her overtly sexualised for no reason other than because that's a trait of a female. In regards to re-enforcing the stereotype, you're drawing attention to it by purposefully not drawing attention to it, but including something else that still draws attention to it. Think of it like in crime procedural shows when someone asks a fake question about something that's true, the perpetrator answers and reveals they were in on it/they dunnit because they gave away that slip of information. You're getting to the same conclusion just a different way.
I think the way to have minimised it would be to have kept the damsel's avatar roughly the same, not sexualised, included a male option, and had done. To remove it? Just don't have any people to rescue and get a schmooch from. Simply have the beloved blender! If it became the norm though, yes you go some way to neutralising the issue. That requires a big push though, from everywhere and everything.
4. She does say why it's harmful. It's harmful explicitly because it's so pervasive. Tropes, clichés, stereotypes - whatever you want to use, they exist or are born from a mass number of something to have a true base to work from. When people use them as a go-to reason, you're simply increasing the number of the thing, making it seep into the cultural consciousness of consumers. I saw on a NeoGaf thread on this vid that the dev for Gunman Clive jokingly said "I'm a sexist now!" or along those lines. He used the reason (excuse) that "In a five second cut-scene, it's hard to get that much exposition in." A few posts below, someone pointed out you could just easily have the evil-doer twirl their beard, or shoot their guns in the air. You get the same point across - bad person, must be stopped - without relying on using this cliché.
No one example will ever be sexist, racist, or anything else. You need a base measure so as to provide background context and then measure against them. If you put Spelunky in a vacuum in which no other game existed, would it be sexist? No. Put it back into the large catalogue of games we have and it just adds to the mounting number of titles that do the same thing and have the same portrayal. When these become the normal in culture, expectations are built on them. You can see it with things such as 'The Lad Bible', which is so incredibly thinly veiled misogyny covered up by it 'being banter'. Just as comedy can be used as a subversion to make a parody or satirical comment, it can be subverted to make any meaning you want so long as you apply it fine.
Where 'rape' becomes a word you use when you lose badly in a game, instead of meaning the forced sexual assault on a woman that leaves them with physical and severe, long lasting mental damage. All these things add up and become a force of their own. They become accepted into the norm and to argue against that would be 'stupid' and 'unnecessary' (much like some of the more vitriolic criticism of Anita).
[At this point, I feel obliged to point out my degree is in cultural studies, so all of these type of things I'm hyper-aware of because that's just where I find my interest. I apologise for the essaying!]
6. I think I covered it in that previous point, but a reinforcement of an attitude, or anything in culture, is through repetition. Or, like a snowball rolling downhill actually, that's a far better metaphor. It enters the mind, sticks around and rises back to the top when see it again. I'm trying to think of an appropriate analogy here...okay, well, take reviews, for instance (this is going to back-fire horribly, I can already tell). 1 review of 4/5 makes you think "Hey, that's probably pretty good." 2 reviews of 4/5 makes you think "Okay, that's probably pretty good." 6 reviews at 1/5 makes you think "Oh, but they said 4/5. What's right here then?" Then you have a further 10 people who give it 1/5. Suddenly the 4/5 sticks out and you're left wondering what on earth they thought. (Again, I appreciate that this isn't perfect, especially considering reviews are subjective, but hopefully you see where I'm coming from as it's more the application.)
7. Again, you're saying the damsel is replaceable with anything and that they have no merit on their own. This is definitely comedy as a subversion though and I think it can work both ways in this case.
I think the important thing to do with this series is to acknowledge that you can't just think on a game-by-game basis. When she brought up Sonic CD before I was like "Hey, that's a good game though!" and again with SMB here, but then I took a step back and thought "No, wait, put in context she's right." You can argue back and forth on most of the examples she gives if you really wanted to find a way (and many people desperately have because they seem to live for proving her wrong rather than accepting she may have a point) but the fact is mounted as they are, there's a large quantity all providing this one message.
I think that's what a lot of people are missing. They're getting too bogged down on single games and not looking at the big picture, which is the entire point of the thing. She's not saying "Mario is bad because it's sexist." She's saying that Mario is part of a systematic problem because it too fell on the usual tropes that have been carried for centuries. Too many people are attacking Anita as a person, which in itself validates a lot of her points, rather than looking at the deeper context it's buried within, which is the point she's making. It's all very meta, come to think of it!
EDIT: I sincerely apologise for the essay. I welcome you inflicting the same on me.Powered by Steam. And biscuits. I'm also a twit and dabble in creative writing.
Ok I get what you're saying and definitely agree with the boob thing. That does look silly. And yeah if they had been interchangeable from the start I think that would probably be OK, but it sort of insinuated that the girls original role was paper thin and meaningless as it was so easily fixed. Hmm, food for thought definitely. It's tough though because I did laugh at Earthworm Jim and Fat Princess and I suppose by themselves they are probably ok, but it's the sum of it all like she said. You can see why people have such a hard time recognising the issue at all.steam: sketch
Antia is very much right that it is a trope, that it is overused, and that in some cases it could be considered sexist (though unintentional - again, I think intent or tone play an important part in assessing the impact). She's also right that there's a major sexist attitude in gaming culture. But I don't see the correlation, particularly when the sexist attitude is quite negative and violent (e.g. overuse of 'rape', 'girls cant game lol' etc) while this 'white knight' trope (which is effectively what we're discussing) has an entirely different kind of implication. If I wanted to make a ridiculous comparison, I might argue that people like John Walker exemplify the trope by rushing to the defence of these sorts of videos or statements. But again, I'm just drawing a long bow, much like Anita occasionally does, and I'm not seriously making this an actual point.Nalano's Law - As an online gaming discussion regarding restrictions grows longer, the probability of a post likening the topic to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea approaches one.

There's more nuance to the whole trope thing than "it's harmful because it's prevalent". It's late, but let me see if I can scrape enough words together in a straight line.
We look at art, entertainment, and all sorts of media as holding a mirror up to culture, right? These things reflect the culture we live in, since they come only from within it, and they also shape that culture, to a greatly varying extent individually but powerfully as a whole. I think that shouldn't be terribly controversial.
The Damsel trope is a reflection of a toxic meme that exists in our culture- that women are weak, passive, and require protection from strong, active men. The trope springs from this meme, with which we are all infected, whether it informs our core conscious beliefs or no. What the Damsel trope in games and other media does that is harmful is to feed this meme. It gives a sense of familiarity, and thus increases our comfort with, a portrayal of women that ought to be more disturbing as it repeats, rather than less.
To come at it a slightly different way, we ought to be bothered when we see a negative portrayal of women repeated over and over again, because it suggests a toxic cultural meme is at work, and we should stop and figure out what that is. Awareness of the meme makes it far less harmful, serving as a sort of immunisation. When we see an endlessly repeated negative portrayal, and, when pointed out, most people react with indifference or downplay, we ought to be really bothered, because that's a very clear sign of the soothing, normalising effect of a toxic meme very well embedded in the culture. We should look to remove the reinforcing repetition that makes the whole thing seem normal.
Anyone get any sense out of that?

Most people die in one bullet. Appeals to general human trends aren't relevant in 99% of videogames in how we depict men (weak, overweight guys who can't stand up to their boss) so why should they apply to women?

So if women are equal to men in real life, because people die to bullets IRL and don't in the games, why not make the women all helpless blobs in videogames?
"Cross-cultural research has shown gender differences on the domains and facets of the Big Five personality traits. For example, women consistently report higher Neuroticism, Agreeableness, warmth (an extraversion facet) and openness to feelings, and men often report higher assertiveness (a facet of extraversion) and openness to ideas as assessed by the NEO-PI-R.[119] Gender differences in personality traits are largest in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in which women have more opportunities that are equal to those of men."

your source is wikipedia, you lose.
And yes, of course it works both way, if you're a fucking tool. But why don't we make it work the FUN way for EVERYONE and not just the fun way for teenage boys. Christ.
2) Individual variation will always, always trump gender distinctions for any category other than primary/secondary characteristics. Even that secondary is a bit fuzzy, becasue stuff got thrown in there ages ago that newer research has revealed to be a bit daft.
3) A common argument is that modern science is more interested in the progressive, liberal ideas of equality than in dealing with real gender differences and as such it's only political correctness that makes us say gender, ethnicity, what-have-you isn't of particular biological note for any but the more obvious purposes. Then come in the anecdotes on both sides, and it usually settles down with proof at the extreme end--the best Xers of group Y are consistently better than the best Xers of group Z! Biology! Bam!
This is annoying. Anyone with an ear to the development of scientific culture is going to see that the main pull is in precisely the other direction. Political correctness be damned, science is determined to match up with social politics wheresoever possible. See social Darwinism, significant swaths of evolutionary psychology, significant swaths of animal research, and on and on. The big secret that no one in science wants to tell you is just how hard the science most relevant to these sorts of social discussions is. A ridiculous proportion of well performed, well studied, statistically valid, peer-reviewed medical and biological studies are never successfully repeated. Good scientists, good sciences, good results ... no ability to repeat them. It's a very common problem in the studies of chaotic systems using small sample sizes. When we study a block of granite for it's chemical and physical structure, we're working with true large number statistics. Stuff you can rely on to behave properly under certain forms of analysis. Too many medical, (non-molecular/biochemical) biological, psychological and sociological studies have sample sizes that we can't really rely on to approximate randomness. It's frequently joked that Psychology is the study of Intro to Psychology students. Sad but frighteningly true.
Anyway, there's a point buried in here. And it's that even well conducted science runs into the same problem that makes anecdotes such shitty evidence. When dealing with sufficiently little data in sufficiently complex systems ... you cannot trust your data to be representative of the system as a whole and cannot make accurate predictions about future lab experiments let alone the real system you are studying. So with many studies that deal with sexual characteristics.
4) Self-fulfilling cultural tropes. If women never do manual labor because women are weaker, women are never expected to do manual labor. Examples of women capable of or interested in manual labor become hard to find as culturally enforced facts fulfill themselves. Women, perceiving themselves as weaker, are less likely to have any interest in bucking the trend and are more likely to accept defeat when facing difficulty or when upstaged physically by men--this is normal and to be expected; it's not humiliating for a female soccer player of similar experience to be bested by a male soccer player, because men are naturally better at soccer. And so on.
This is not to suggest there are no reliable, biologically reinforced differences between the two sexes. But it's very, very, very difficult to isolate sexual characteristics from gender characteristics even in scientific contexts. And we need to be aware of that when we promote "facts" about sexual distinctions.
5) Number 2 was really important. It is essential that we remember the sense of scale. Let's say we can show that all men develop muscle at the exact same rate, and so do all women. The one for men is slightly higher. This means fuck all for the ability of women to protect themselves in dangerous situations, and their ability to perform athletic feats. As any male sportsman could tell you, it's not what you have but how you use it that really matters so long as you don't have too much less than the competition.
Showing innate biological tendencies for people of different sexes under comparable lifestyles tells you nothing about the general population unless coupled both with information about the relative scale of individual variation innately and information about how common various lifestyles are among different groups of people and information about the interaction of those lifestyles with innate tendencies.
6) In other words your response is bullshit. Especially the thing about self-reported characteristics traits. Women think they're more neurotic. Really? However could they get that idea other than being more neurotic? Nothing comes to mind. Science accomplished. I would love to drag up a lit review or at least the article sourced in your snippet, but as of two months ago I've temporarily lost access to JSTOR and other databases while I'm between programs. :( I miss the OED more though. -sigh-
Edit: But I did pull up the abstract. First of all, it's very clear to be about gender. As in the social not the biological phenomenon. Second this :"Secondary analyses of Revised NEO Personality inventory data from 26 cultures (N =23,031) suggest that gender differences are small relative to individual variation within genders [..]"
Contrary to predictions from evolutionary theory, the magnitude of gender differences varied across cultures. Contrary to predictions from the social role model, gender differences were most pronounced in European and American cultures in which traditional sex roles are minimized. Possible explanations for this surprising finding are discussed, including the attribution of masculine and feminine behaviors to roles rather than traits in traditional cultures.

I would also like to add that 23,000 sounds like a big number. For this kind of research? It's fucking huge. But ... in terms of how trustworthy you can make the math on a number like that for anything more complicated than rough correlation of data? 23,000 isn't very big. Psychologists know this. The good ones are terrified by it, but the keep on trucking anyway. But we should always remember it.
Edit: Also you see a lot of psychology studies pulling stuff like "Group X was more passive." When what they asked was "On a scale of 1 to 5 how upset are you by the stimulus?" or even worse sometimes you get "Group X was more passive" and what they did was have volunteers rate the apparent passivity of the test subject and cite a study about how precieved responses correlate well enough to actual responses under these sorts of lab tests to give significant enough data for the purposes of the study.
More commonly, the article is careful and honest and the secondary source takes everything up to 11. "Tomatoes decrease cancer risk by 80%! [down from .001% in healthy populations already not predisposed to cancer]"

That's like complaining there are car posters with sexy women on them, and not sexy men. Yes! Because there is no fucking target audience for car posters with sexy men on them! (not a notable one, anyway, and most of it it would be men anyway)
This is the core of the issue - and all the self-proclaimed feminists have got it ass-backwards. "Women don't play videogames because videogames are sexist." Sure, and women don't work designing Formula 1 engines either because high performance combustion engines are sexist.
Women don't play videogames because they don't care about games. That's why you never see a woman interested in a soccer match. You never see a woman thinking poker or table tennis is a great way to spend an evening. They just don't care about this kind of activity. You can argue why they don't care, but that's ultimately irrelevant. The point is, videogames are "sexist" because women don't play games, not the other way around.
And when women do exhibit interest in a game, it's usually for factors other than the game itself. Like for the story. Or for the social aspect. Or character customization. Or because their boyfriend plays it. Or because it's some facebook integrated bullshit where you just click three icons once per day - and you visit it seven times per day anyway, so might as well. Or to get fat bucks on YouTube.
I mean let's step back and think about it in economical terms. Do you really think most of videogame publishers, megacompanies with billions of dollars, deliberately ignore 51% of potential customers because patriarchy? Do you think the people who designed Bioshock: Infinite put Elizabeth as damsel in distress in the game instead of Edward as gentleman in distress just to spit in the eye of a modern feminist movement? Do you think these people care about anything at all except for how much money they're making? Or maybe do you think they're so incompetent they don't regularly spend millions of dollars on market research and they simply don't know where the profits lie? Or maybe you think they're just brainwashed into their social role, despite there existing thousands of major companies, ran by men, who cater to female needs first and foremost?
Just how many facets of reality will you people deny to keep your stupid misguided crusade going?

People do stupid shit. In large numbers. Systemically. Over and over. Especially when economics is at work. Unless you actually believe the Rational Actors bullcrap economists have deluded themselves into believing ... your argument doesn't really hold water. Market research spending, likewise, doesn't mean squat unless your methods are sound.
You do realize "brainwashed by their social role" describes most people, has since the dawn of social roles, and always shall? It's just rarely the only programming in their and often isn't the primary programming.
Also, it's well known that for a very long time women were discouraged from ... a crazy number of professions women excel at today. Because patriarchy. You don't think it damaged our economy that half our workforce was kept form working in some of our more important professions for a substantial portion of western history? Let it not be said that Patriarchy is overruled by the pocketbook. It's certainly not cheaper to live on a single income instead of a double income or to buy all of those fancy, fashionable dresses the wife is expected to wear while hanging off your arm at dinner parties.

You're really [upsettingly wrong and prone to dubious generalizations. -paraphrase]
But hey, I didn't say that, because ladies are sweet, demure things. No, women are pushed away from games because they don't want to play with [bounders -paraphrase] like you.

Which is why I come here to this forum to talk about videogames. Don't you see? It's because I don't care.

Good people make bad choices and end up in jail.
But that doesn't mean all of their decisions are bad.
They can be just the opposite.
Some of the inmates at the Ketchikan Correctional Center decided to create 3,000 origami cranes over the Memorial Day weekend.
Last week they presented the cranes to Women in Safe Homes, Ketchikan Medical Center and Ketchikan Pioneers' Home.
If Jarvis Perez is representative of the inmates, they're pretty proud of their accomplishment, too.
Nothing wrong with that. It's terrific that while incarcerated inmates can be productive and feel pleased.
Perez is so hooked on creating origami cranes, he's still making them.
The inmates' interest was piqued when Superintendent Jessica Mathews told them people make the cranes for peace, and a Japanese legend goes that anyone who makes 1,000 origami cranes will have his or her wish granted.
The first night's effort produced 800 cranes.
Mathews now is considering other programs for the inmates and has mentioned crotcheting. The crotcheted items could be donated to the community, she says.
This is a terrific way to encourage the inmates, helping them to move beyond a bad decision and be a part of something good.

text: Hi! Thanks for having me. This is my first Suburban but not my first Chevy. So - this truck will get a 4" BDS suspension lift, the majority of U-Joints and Tie Rods done, as well as a muffler, front pads and a tune up...and new front inner fender wells. The problems:lol:: The driver side rear body mount(the last one on the frame) appears to be toast - rusted out...any suggestion on a new plate or something? The rear inner fender wells are rusted thru at the 'factory' seam(right down the middle and all the way from front to back on the driver side). Any suggestions on a patch that's quick? I'm sure more questions will arise...but we'll get to that as we go! :money: This 'SUV' will probably see less than 5000miles a year...but I'd like to have it for a few years. Thank again! ...oh yea...the driver side vent window seems to be stuck at the 'rivet'...I'll try some spray lube but can this be replaced - easily?

An Atm Card For 18 WheelersPallavi Gogoi
This Web thing ain't your pappy's CB radio. Ask truckers carrying C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc.'s Internet-hitched debit card. They don't worry about paying for fuel or repairs. Dispatchers add cash over the Web if bucks run low. "Our drivers are never stuck," says Scott Fuller, a manager at Anderson Trucking Service Inc. of St. Cloud (Minn). "If they need more cash, funds can be added on their cards in real-time on the Internet."
Because of the Net, Eden Prairie (Minn). based Robinson isn't your pappy's freight broker, either. While it still gets most of its revenue from consolidating clients' freight shipments, moves like T-Cards and online package tracking are driving growth. Since 1998, Robinson's sales have grown 22% per year, up from 15%. "Shipment volume has increased sharply and turnover is quicker," says President John Wiehoff. Competitors noticed: Six big trucking firms set up a competing site.
The heart of the T-card system: Pages that let managers like Fuller keep better track of truckers' expenses. Fuller can set and enforce company policies with a mouse--restricting card use to budget restaurants, say, instead of Alain Ducasse. The Web aggregates clients' fuel bills to exploit volume discounts. It cuts Robinson's costs too: Fewer operators take round-the-clock trucker calls.
Nearly as promising is Robinson's Web package-tracking system and a satellite network that tells dispatchers exactly where each truck is--and how full it is--when clients need pickups. This may sound familiar to customers of United Parcel Service Inc. or FedEx Corp., but it's new to the truckload-shipping business. Just goes to show: You can't spell "a big 10-4" without one and zero.

New York: President Barack Obama has just one request for his daughters Sasha and Malia when he gives a speech - not to look bored.
Michelle joked about her husband's only request to his children when he's making a speech - "Just act like you're listening to me!"
"That was the instruction before he gave his speech at the DNC," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night's show.
"We're backstage and they're playing around and they're laughing and they're giggling and he said, 'Just act like you're listening to me!'" she said.
Even under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, keeping two adolescent girls in line is no easy task, Michelle admitted.
"The whole time, I'm clapping and looking over at them and I'm like, 'Smile. Smile.' and they're like, 'Oh, OK'," she said.
Prodded about disciplining her kids in public, the US commander-in-chief's wife said that she does it the same way any other mother would, but, "you have to smile a little bit more when you're the First Lady."
"But generally, they behave themselves really well," she added.

Intellisphere launches OncLive.com
The move represents an integration of the website with the print journal, said Peter Ciszewski, president, oncology specialty group, at Intellisphere. "Instead of having our writers write for the publication, they're writing for the web...constantly," said Ciszewski. "We're going to use our website to see which articles the docs are reading most often, and then those articles will be expanded features within the publication."
The March issue was mailed out as OncLive, and the journal will retain its net guide resource, which directs oncologists to cancer-related internet offerings. Ciszewski said the journal was among the top 10 oncology journals, in terms of advertising pages, last year. The rebrand helps the journal "stay ahead of the curve," said Ciszewski. The March issue was mailed to "over 20,000 cancer professionals," including medical oncologists and a core audience of hematologist-oncologists, plus radiology oncologists, surgical oncologists, and cancer-treating urologists, according to Ciszewski.
At OncLive.com, physicians can click on links for free CME offerings provided by Intellisphere sister company ArcMesa, as well as other CME houses. The site will also feature short video interviews with oncology thought leaders, about new data and studies in the field, said Ciszewski. "Oncologists want to see other oncologists talk about the data," he said. Video interviews will be taped at medical conferences, and will be conducted with physicians at the Hackensack University Medical Clinic's John Theurer Cancer Center. At press time, a beta version of the site featured interviews with professors, physicians, and industry (Peter Langmuir, executive director of medical science at AstraZeneca), done at last summer's ASCO meeting.

Hey! I'm ALMOST a WRX owner! About a week and a half ago, I test drove a '12 premium 4D with 9K on it and I loved the test drive. I was going to order a new one at the same dealer, but the guy was SUPER shady and told me that I HAD to order it with wheel locks, the short shifter, and the homelink. Quite absurd, so my fiance stepped out and called another dealer and they said they could get me a base model with no add ons lol. Needless to say, we left pretty quick, and went down to the other dealer... Sorted out the numbers, and bam. 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX base 4D in WR Blue Pearl was reserved as of 9/2/12.
I should get the VIN by the end of this month, and the car is estimated to arrive by the end of October. I am so HAPPY and I am looking forward to my first Subaru. I have a car background, and I am a girl. (lol)
I currently have a tC. Bought it new back in '07 and it has 23K on it. It is my "show" car and doesn't really get driven much. I will be bagging it in a few weeks also. You may/may not have seen it on Canibeat:
This is my daily driver. I am going to be trading it on the rex. 2010 Toyota Corolla S 5MT

Politics: AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has declared there's no fiscal cliff and any address of runaway government spending is just "a manufactured crisis." Is Big Labor's big boss just plain stupid? Or is there a darker agenda?
'Take what the media are calling 'the fiscal cliff.' There is no fiscal cliff!" Trumka thundered at a National Mediation Board Conference Thursday, sounding like an alcoholic pleading for one last swig well before he hits rock bottom.
But his ravings are at odds with reality, given that a fiscal cliff (in Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's coinage) is coming whether Trumka likes it or not.
In January, Congress must meet a long-neglected budget deadline, or a series of tax hikes and spending cuts will take effect automatically.
That was the deal a supercommittee made back in 2011 as an incentive for lawmakers to get serious about a federal deficit that has now reached $16 trillion. With no deal done, the tax increases and spending cuts are coming with the force of a freight train.
But Trumka's still denying reality. "What we're facing," he said Thursday, "is an obstacle course within a manufactured crisis that was hastily thrown together in response to inflated rhetoric about our federal deficit.
"But all the deficit chatter has distracted us from our real crisis — the immediate crisis of 23 million unemployed or underemployed workers. It's time to protect Social Security benefits. It's time to protect Medicare and Medicaid benefits. And it's time to raise taxes for the richest 2%," he went on.
In short, Trumka is arguing that there's no such thing as too much government spending, that deficits don't matter and that entitlements cannot be cut. Such denialist thinking is beyond irresponsible in the face of a $16 trillion debt, highest on global record and a sign of an irrational agenda often followed by would-be tyrants.
Trumka is trying to intimidate congressional Democrats into intransigence on a debt deal with Republicans to restore the solvency of the U.S. Instead, he wants them to stand fast on the idea that the debt, deficit and entitlements can be addressed simply by taxing higher-income earners who already account for more than half of federal income-tax revenue.
This is the kind of irresponsible thinking that has triggered riots in Greece and Spain — a belief that the money is there and only the meanness of austerity is keeping the common man from his share.
In reality, the money is not there — the pot is empty. Medicare and Social Security are now on "unsustainable paths," paying out more in benefits than they take in, with their trust funds projected to run dry by 2024 and 2033, according to their own trustees.
Socialism is meeting its natural end — which, in the words of former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, is when it "runs out of other people's money."
Trumka is pulling out all the stops to prevent a deal of any kind from being reached, preferring instead that the U.S. hit a fiscal wall. From there, the riots-at-odds-with-reality can wreak havoc until the citizens are so exhausted by the chaos they'll welcome a tyrant who can restore order.
It's happened before. Now with Trumka spewing nonsense about reality and turning thumbs-down on any deal, seeds of chaos are being rooted.

I posted this under the Zig Zag pattern but then wasn't sure if everyone would see so thought I'd post it here agian I hope thats ok..
First its the shawl can't get it to come out right so I put it up and walk way while a friend plays with the pattern... Then I decide to start this scarf do good till well here is my post :lol:
Thank you I might have to this is what I got stuck on I'm not sure if I'm just not reading it right or like my teacher says I'm over thinking it LOL
At the end of the Second Foundation Triangle it says: 9 Inc, K9. (11) You will have reached the marker you placed on the cast on row again. At this point you will have 11 sts on the right hand needle and 23 on the left (34 sts in total) TURN 10 Sl1P, P to end. Which I have done I now have all stitches on one needle...
Then it says: Commence Zig Zag Pattern 1 Inc, K9, SSK, TURN (12) 2 Sl1, K to end 3 Inc, P10, P2tog, TURN (13)
This is where I have my trouble if I'm working with just those first 11 stitches then when I inc. that leaves 10 on the left needle, after I knit my 9 I won't have enough to do the SSK cause ya need two stiches.. and I thought SSK was decrease so I don't understand how they keep getting more stitches lol cause it seems like the decrease would just cancel out the inc... so ummm... LOL thats where I'm at everything else went so easy for me... but of course it was just basic Inc and K and P too...
Here is the website: http://www.magknits.com/warm05/patterns/rib.htm
I was really getting into this so I'm hoping I can figure this one part out so I can move on TIA
I read this post before and didn't get it either.
I think that you take stitches from the ones that are on the needle.
So you don't just work with those first 11 stitches. You incorporate the stitches that are on the other needle into them. When row 2 says knit to end, knit 12 stitches after the sl1.
Do you think that will work?
Thanks Ingrid, I'll give it a try and let ya know
:cheering: :happydance: :cheering: :happydance:
Yeahhh THANK YOU Ingrid :notworthy: , I just ignored the Place Marker they had me put in and went on my way and it worked wooohooooooo
I'm on the roll again.. just can't wait to get on the rows again Yeehhaawww

Edmonton Winning Economic Battle With Calgary
Posted: Updated:
EDMONTON - Edmonton's economy and housing market have been improving and are outperforming Calgary on several fronts, according to an analysis from the Conference Board of Canada.
These yardsticks include faster economic and house price growth this year, along with more housing starts in four of the past five months. The city's housing markets should remain buoyant, fuelled by healthy population advances, said Robin Wiebe, senior economist with the board's Centre for Municipal Studies.

text: I have been hunting and fishing all my life.I have pics of a fishing pole in the corner of the living room that my dad bought for me the day I was born.He dis the same thing when my two brothers were born.They stayed in the corner till we were big enough to hold a pole.During the summer months we went fishing every weekend.On friday afternoons when we got out of grade school we would crank up the lawn mower and start mowing.Crickets would go to jumping.One would mow and the other two would catch crickets.My dad carried up hunting when were big enough to follow along also.I never duck hunted though.Just never cared for duck so just didnt do it.Had a guy that worked with me that was an avid duck hunter and one time he was talking about cooking duck and was getting kind of excited talking about it.I jumped in and said Yea,I love ducks and I have found the best way to fix them too.I said,I take them and cut the bills off of them the first thing!!! He looked at me kind of funny.Then I said Yea you cut the bills off and put peanut butter in between them and you have peanut butter and quackers!!!! It ticked him off real good but we all had a real good laugh about it!!!!

Where I stayed
The bus at Mui Ne dropped us off coincedentally right outside where we'd decided to stay so that was easy. The place is really small, which was quite a relief as the last few places we've been were all cities. It's just one road, mostly with resorts all down the beach side and restaurants all down the other. Our place was nice, one of the few cheaper places on the bach front, we got a room and when you walked out the door you were pretty much in the sea
We didn't do much the first day we were there, went to a bar on the way to finding another bar which turned out to be a lot further away than we thought so didn't reach it, and the one we did go in was dead so they kept giving us free stuff like garlic bread and cocktail shots to keep us there. Didn't work so well as we didn't stay that long got a played some pool but the free stuff was good.
The next day we spent sunbathing and chilling out. Got a bit bored, read a lot. Had an expensive dinner, wandered around and booked a sand dune thing for the next day. On Wednesday we got up early and went to the meeting place at 8am, they then took us in the oldest jeep in the world, first to the Red Dunes where we did some sand sledging, was awesome but there were thousands of kids who really wanted to do stuff for us and give us sledges and help us use them and then charge us loads for it. Oh well such is the way. Climbing up sand dunes was knackering though, plus we got covered in sand which was particularly painful on my (EW) lower back which was burnt from the day before. Next we went to the White Dunes which was much nicer, plus there was only 1 child instead of thousands trying to get us to "slide down"
We got back to our hotel at about 12 which was checkout time so we had the quickest shower as we had brought half the dunes back in our clothes then we chilled for half an hour and got some lunch whilst waiting for our bus. The bus to the next place Nha Trang took about 5 hours and we saw an awesome sunset on the way.
So that's about it for Mui Ne entry, was an awesome place and was very nice to chill for a day or two, Nha Trang is party town apparently so I'm sure you'll hear tales in the next entry.
Loads of love and kisses

I can't see my external on my PC, but it's detected by a PC even if I open my computer I can't see it. what happen? someone can advise me what to do? thx
More information will help. What OS? What Drive? Does it show in device manager? Does it show in disk management.
This may help:
Find the SmartWare folder (in my computer it's under the C drive)
In the folder is an "Unlock" icon. This controls access to My Book.
Enter the password if you have one. I do not know what instructions come up if it's not password protected.
my OS is WIN 7 and my drive is WD my book essential WD 10000H1U-00. so it show in divice manager but in the Disk management it say the Disk is not initialised ( not show it)
Did you try to inatialize it? if not try that. It may need a drive letter assinged too.
there no way to initialise it because u can't see it, on the disk management it say the disk unknown is not initialise. only u see it on the divice manager
I'm chiming in here with a similar problem.
My trusty My Book 250 MB has worked perfectly from plug in +3 yrs ago until today.
I noticed it was strangely quiet, then saw it wasn't listed on My Computer directory. It still has it's glowing green circle but is otherwise lifeless.
XP Pro SP3, using USB 2 port.
All connections are solid.
I don't see it in the Device Manager, at least that I recognize. There are five functional USB controllers, some IDE ATA controllers but I think that is for the hardwired drive.
I ran the WinDlg.exe diagnostics but it doesn't see the My Book.
Since it's been so trouble-free I don't have the moves down for troubleshooting.
It hasn't made any unusual noises and was involved in my automated backup last night.
I think it predates the SmartWare software. I don't find it installed and it can without a disk.
What are the troubleshooting steps?
If it is dead is there any way to grab the contents? It was my backup.
Got it back! Seems it was a flaky USB port.
I found instructions on the WD site that may be of use. The link won't paste in, so go to wdc.custhelp.com and search for
"A WD external drive is no longer given a Drive Letter by Windows (XP, Vista, ot 7), and data on the drive is inaccessible.
Good luck!

Big birds on home stretch
Page Tools
Having risen from an apparent death, the favourite in the world's first albatross steeplechase is edging towards the finish line, overcoming sharks, storms and the expanses of the Southern Ocean.
After a migration of almost 10,000 kilometres, Aphrodite - who was believed dead after her transponder signal failed for over a week - is nearing the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the culmination of the Big Bird Race.
The event, organised by the Conservation Foundation, the Tasmanian Government and gambling giant Ladbrokes.com, aims to provide scientific information about the birds' migration and the dangers posed by long-line fishing practices, which kill about 30,000 seabirds each year.
"Interest has ebbed slightly after Aphrodite's soar to South Africa, but as I write, it is starting to pick up again," said Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush.
One of 18 Tasmanian shy albatrosses being monitored as they migrate from the Australian coast, Aphrodite may finish first but has been disqualified due to the failure of her satellite transmitter. "Punters who backed Aphrodite will get paid out (but) we are now betting on the race without Aphrodite," Mr Lush said.
With the race drawing to a close, it appears the aptly named albatross "The Ecologist" may collect the Duke of Edinburgh's Challenge Cup for its owner, European environmental commentator Zac Goldsmith
The birds from three different islands - Pedra Branca, Albatross Island and Mewstone - undertake one of the world's longest migrations, starting in the Great Australian Bight before the long and perilous journey to Africa.
Event creator and Conservation Foundation spokesman Tim Nevard said, "What is emerging through is that each of the three islands, Albatross Islance, Mewstone and Pedra Branca is generating a different migration pattern, with Mewstone birds generally being the most adventurous."

Jimmy Council arrested our friend for assault of a police officer in April 2012. On audio/video it shows my friend not resisting at all, with his hands in the air. Jimmy Council slams him while my friends hands are in the air and during that process he skinned his elbow. He then on audio/video rubs his elbow on the hood my friend's truck and said he was going to charge him with assault and that he now has the evidene. He then filed a false police report...he has harassed my friend and his family by sitting outside their home in his car, he wants them to take a plea deal but he will not because it is wrong to admit to something he didn't do.

SUBMITTED: Sunday, February 23, 2014POSTED: Sunday, February 23, 2014
By posting what you have said instead of just taking it to the leagal system you have inturupied this mans family's lives.. This is a good cop and he comes from a good family. Not everything is as it seems to be. There had to be a reason your friend was pulled over in the first place. There was a reason there were so many officers on the scene of the arrest.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Want to be seen by a family medicine doctor on the same day you call?
Since January 2009, Family Practice providers at North Shore Medical Clinic, Sturgeon Bay have been piloting Advanced Access. The program offers patients the ability to schedule a same-day appointment at the patient's convenience. The new service was announced by Door County Memorial Hospital which owns clinic sites in Sturgeon Bay, Fish Creek, Washington Island, and Algoma.
"In the past, patients at many clinics waited or needed to call weeks or months in advance to schedule their physicals. Making some minor changes to a very busy provider schedule can help minimize delays for patients," said Sue Raduenz, North Shore's director of clinic operations.
Advanced Access allows people to be treated on the same day for a variety of health care conditions ranging from annual physicals to acute problems such as ear infections, colds, or flu. Some procedures may require a follow-up visit to determine the best treatment. "Advanced Access is not a walk-in clinic," said Raduenz. Patients should call ahead so they receive the time they request for their appointment.
For example, someone who phones at 9 a.m. may be able to see their regular doctor at 1 p.m. that day. Patients must still call ahead to schedule an appointment, but the effort will be to schedule at the patient's convenience.
"We want to keep patients happy. If they have a health problem and want to get it taken care of, they do not want to wait," Raduenz said. People who prefer to plan ahead for their annual physicals and other health appointments can continue to do so. "If they want to book a physical for next year or for three months from now, they still can do so," said Raduenz.
For more information or to make an appointment with a North Shore affiliated provider, call 920.746.0510.
Free children's health programs, emphasizing music and visual arts, are part of Door County Memorial Hospital's Art for Health initiative. The programs help kids experience the arts and the role art plays in healthy lives.
Art for Health allows children with or without difficulties and communication disorders an opportunity to work one-on-one with artists and volunteers during the workshops. Children will perform music and create art alongside Dorothy Scott. Scott has international and national experience working with children and music. Other local musicians and artists will also participate in workshops.
Kevin Lukes, the hospital's director of marketing and public relations, knows firsthand the value of arts for healing. Three years ago, his son, Mason, was diagnosed with Asperger's disorder (a form of autism). Lukes noticed that whenever he played his guitar or piano, Mason's demeanor changed. Mason would instantly calm down, pick up his toy guitar and start strumming along.
"The world for my son moves at a high speed," Lukes said. "But when he focuses in on the music, he seems to be a different person; it takes him to a different level."
DCMH's Art for Health events also include local concerts, art exhibitions, and programs for adults. The Art for Health program was created in response to abundant research about the art and health link.
The series continues into the summer with "Broadway Song Birds" on July 1, "The Beat and Beyond" on August 5, and "A Poem in your Pocket and Beads of Courage" on September 2. The 2009 program culminates on September 26, when workshop participants have an opportunity to perform with musicians during a "Celebration of Community" concert at Door Community Auditorium, Fish Creek.
"The programs may have fun names and fun activities, but we attempt to develop kids in some way – whether it is helping them build self-confidence or enhancing social interaction," said Jenny Fischer, director of DCMH's Women's and Children's Center.
Each 45-minute workshop takes place on the first Wednesday of each month, March through September, in the Children's Health Center at DCMH.
Children may be registered for one or all of the classes by emailing email@example.com.
Since class size is limited, parents are encouraged to register their children early. For more information, visit ministryhealth.org/DCMH/home.nws
Phillip Arnold, DO, a physician with Ministry Health Care in Door County, recently completed his certification as a U.S. Ski Team physician.
Dr. Arnold joins a medical pool of just 120 other physicians who travel regularly with the ski team and provide care during World Cup and other events around the globe. During his two-year internship, Dr. Arnold accompanied the freestyle team to World Cup events in Italy, France, and Austria.
"It's a great honor to work with the best skiers America has to offer," Dr. Arnold said. "The organization is amazing in terms of its leadership and dedication. The coaches, trainers, and athletes are just fantastic to work with."
Dr. Arnold has practiced as a family physician at the North Shore Medical Clinic for the past three years. He completed his residency at the University of Wisconsin – Madison / Baraboo and completed a sports medicine fellowship at Virginia Tech. While at Virginia Tech, Dr. Arnold was introduced to the ski team by his program director, Gunnar Brolinson, DO, who was also the former head physician for the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team.
While on the road with the team, Dr. Arnold, working with the team's athletic trainer, will be responsible for the assessment and treatment of the athletes' acute medical problems. "Every day on the hill, skiers face the risk of severe injuries: closed head trauma, major fractures, dislocations, or issues requiring hospitalization in a foreign country," he said. "The medical team is there to coordinate medical care for these injuries in addition to the day-to-day medical issues that require basic primary care."
Participation with the United States Ski Team is a volunteer effort. Physicians pay their own travel and other expenses. "The team does feed us though," Arnold said. "We all live and eat together for the most part." Lodging on the road on the World Cup circuit requires that teams stay in places where breakfast and dinner are provided onsite. Arnold added, "The food is better in some places than in others, but it's always interesting. It is fun to get to know the teams during the communal dining."
This August, Dr. Arnold will accompany the U.S. Mogul Ski Team to El Colorado, Chile, in South America. "This three-week training camp prepares the athletes for the upcoming season," he said. "It will be a particularly exciting year with the Olympics right around the corner in 2010."
Dr. Arnold believes that the experience he gained while working with the elite group of athletes on the U.S. Ski Team will allow him to bring the same level of care home to Door County residents. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Arnold, call 920.746.0510 or 920.868.3511.

$110K Of Call-A-Head Money Down City's Toilet
signed an agreement with Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
The plea agreement took the form of an "Alford Plea," a form of pleading in criminal court in which the defendant does not admit the act and asserts his innocence, but admits that sufficient evidence exists which the prosecution could likely convince a judge or jury to find the defendant guilty.
The plea, which also includes the alleged use of unmetered water from January of 1999 to January of 2003, and any larceny charges that could be brought as a result of that theft of water, brought Call-A-Head a $100,000 fine and restitution of $10,000 to the city for the water the company allegedly stole.
According to the signed agreement, the payment of the fine and the restitution "is not an admission of wrongdoing by Call-A-Head, but is being agreed upon to end the ongoing investigation."
In addition to the fine and restitution, the company has to hire a private, independent monitor to check its property for compliance with the agreement up to five times each month. The independent monitor will check to insure that the company is "not using washing procedures which result in toilet water or residual toilet waste or cleansing agents to discharge into the protected wetlands or catch basins."
The monitor will also check water usage to insure the city is being paid its fair share.
Howard told The Wave this week that the complaints about his business came from local residents who do not want to see him succeed in his development program in the community – which includes a new pharmacy, a medical center and a restaurant.
"Those families are trying to put me out of business because they are afraid of losing control of the community, afraid of change."
He says that he signed the plea agreement without admitting guilt because his lawyer, Broad Channel resident Thomas "Butchie" Monaghan, advised him that "the investigation would never be closed" and that the city would constantly harass him.
"I just wanted everything to go away, to wipe it out and have it end right here," he said.
He added that paying the money was a small price to get the city off his back.
"I want to make Broad Channel a vacation place," he said. "Even if I fail, we'll still have a new restaurant and things for the kids. I can't lose."

Sept. 16, 2007
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ----- Junior Frank Brown scored the game-winning goal 4:22 into the first overtime to lead the UAB men's soccer team to a 1-0 win over Mercer, capturing the 2007 UAB Classic championship. The title marked the first time UAB won their event since the 2004 campaign.
"It feels really good to get the championship back to Birmingham," UAB head coach Mike Getman said. "It's been a long time, too long. I thought we played very well and I was really pleased with our performance. I felt we attacked well and created some good scoring chances. Defensively, I felt we limited them to only a few chances. I think Mercer is a solid team and will have success this year, so I am happy with this result."
The Blazers controlled the play throughout most of the game, outshooting the Bears, 15-4, and holding a 12-1 advantage on corner kicks.
Despite the advantage on shots, UAB didn't break through until its first shot in the overtime period. Brown, who led the Blazers with four shots on the afternoon, took a rebound off a miscleared ball by the Mercer defense, and drilled a shot into the lower left corner for the victory. It was his second game-winning goal in as many days and his fourth goal of the season.
Sophomore goalkeeper Wes Johnson recorded his third, and team's fourth consecutive shutout in the victory. He also ran his streak of consecutive minutes without allowing a goal to 373.
For his efforts, Brown was named the Classic's Most Valuable Player. He was joined by the Blazers' Johnson, Dejan Jakovic and Trey Gregory on the All-Tournament team.
UAB will next be in action when the travel to Bloomington, Ind. To take on one of the top team's in college soccer, the Indiana Hoosiers, on Friday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. ET.

Closer Look: Cooler Master Quickfire Stealth
A beautiful keyboard can be the centerpiece of an enthusiasts computer desk. The Cooler Master Quickfire Stealth will look great on a user's desk and will easily blend in with many different desk configurations.
From this angle, you can see the Cooler Master has put the lettering on the side of the each key. This means that in a pinch, a non-touch typist can use this keyboard but they still might find it difficult to use. Cooler Master has included many secondary functions on its f-keys, F1-F4 control the repeat rate when using the included USB to PS/2 adapter, F5-F8 control media functions, and F10-F12 allow the user to control their systems volume. Cooler Master has setup the F9 key to allow an enthusiast to toggle their Windows Key on and off ensuring that a gamer does not accidently activate their Windows key while in game.
On the bottom we have the four rubber feet that help keep the Stealth from moving around, and for users who prefer their keyboards to be at a higher angle Cooler Master has included two risers that help give the Stealth some more height in the rear.
Like all of their designs, Cooler Master uses a Micro-USB port to connect the Stealth to braided cable that it exits the Stealth in one of three positions depending on how a user's desk is configured. Because of the standard Micro-USB cable used, an enthusiast can also attach a shorter or longer cable depending on their needs, or replace a cable that may be damaged or lost.
This version of the Quickfire Stealth uses Cherry MX Blue switches. These are "soft" tactile switches which require 65g of force to activate, and that provide an audible click when they activate. They have a tactile force profile with an increase in force that can be felt right before they activate. For many typists this is the preferred style of key although the people around them may not appreciate the substantial noise that the Cherry MX Blue switch creates.

Nas Speaks Out About Latest Album Title Controversy
After an announcement, a denial and a spelling modification, Nas is finally speaking out about his N-word album title controversy that has angered African American community leaders, social activists and politicians, alike.
"It's like talking to your child about sex. It's hard, but it's important," the rapper told Rolling Stone. "It's probably going to make people uncomfortable. I don't expect a lot of people to sell a record called [N-word]. Hopefully, people can open their minds up and lose some of their fear and deal with it. It's just an album. It's one piece of the many things I do, and this will be one of my favorite pieces."
Brooklyn assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries is not willing to open his mind and accept Nas' latest "piece of art." The assemblyman has requested that New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli withdraw a $84 million investment in Universal Music Group and its parent company Vivendi. "[They are] profiting from a racial slur that has been used to dehumanize people of color for centuries," Jeffries said. "It is time for Nas and other hip-hop artists to clean up their act and stop flooding the airwaves with the N-word."
Universal has not responded to the politician's demand, but the comptroller's office has expressed some concern and says they "urge them not to release the album" with the contentious title.

The package coupling principles of OOD translate almost directly to version-control, with only slight modification. Sometimes dependency translates into flow, but note that change-flow does not imply dependency. These deal with branching, merging, and the flow and structure of changes across codelines.
What's Next?
Now that we've set the stage and introduced the players, we will exit the stage until next month, when we try to directly apply our translations to each of the different types of version control containers: changes/workspaces, baselines, and codelines. We're very interested in your feedback on these ideas and our initial mapping of them into the version-control domain. So if you have some insights to share, please let us know.

The report, requested several years ago and released October 25, has the imprimatur of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office and the benefit of rigorous analysis of government data. So it must be taken seriously.
The stark message: Income inequality has grown dramatically in the last three decades, spurred on by government policy that has allowed the rich to get much richer, the poor to fall even farther behind, and the middle class to continue struggling. That's pretty much what even the scruffy protesters at Occupy Wall Street have been saying, but now there are hard numbers to back up this disquieting observation.
For example: Those in the top 1% of the population saw their income — after taxes, adjusted for inflation — rise by 275%, more than double, from 1997 to 2007. The average income of the poorest fifth of the population during that time rose by only 18%. This didn't happen simply because of the innate brilliance and incredible work ethic of the rich, and the comparative laziness or bad luck of the poor. It happened because of political decisions to shift federal policy away from redistributing wealth.
That's a naughty phrase these days — redistributing wealth — apt to get one accused of being a socialist, or worse. But the notion that the public good is served by reducing the enormous gap between rich and poor didn't start with the New Deal or the Great Society. It's woven through the Torah and the central teachings of all the great faiths because it reflects a deep understanding of the human condition, especially in societies that are dependent on citizen trust in government and in each other.
"A capitalist economy loses credibility when its results diverge too far from public sentiments about decency and fairness," wrote William Galston, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, in a recent New Republic article.
Americans wouldn't be occupying cities if they felt that government was doing all it could and should to ensure decency and fairness. This latest CBO report puts hard numbers to that powerful emotion, and must be taken seriously by those who shape policy on behalf of us all.

Not saying the Cowboys will win it, not after the way they have failed so far, just saying that it ain't over yet.

Melissa and John's Wedding
"We used only the church, not the hall. The church and grounds are lovely, and the pastor and staff were easy to work with. We were coming from outside of the area (this was my childhood church, and I have since moved), but they allowed us to get married here as long as we had all of our necessary information (proof of registration in our parishes, permission from our parishes, and completed pre-cana). They even let us easily bring in an outside priest, which was so meaningful to both of us. Since I didn't use the church hall, I cannot comment on it. The church itself, however, was great!"

Eagan refused to turn over their own appraiser's valuation of those properties and tried to lowball the owners, even though that appraisal should have been public record.They have had their day in court. All the arguments have been heard. The decision has been made. The value of the property is something that is determinable. The property owner will receive the full value of the property. This case is closed. Time to move on; just like every other property owner that was involved.
Eagan, come for the eminent domain, stay for the outlet mall.

I'm in a two-keeper league (non-PPR) where you give up the pick that corresponds with where your keeper(s) were drafted. So, for example, (because I was awkward with the description), I'll keep Ray Rice and give up my first round pick.
That leaves me with the choice of keeping Mathews and giving up my 4th or Brandon Marshal and giving up my fifth. Leaning toward keeping Mathews, but any thoughts?

Date of Stay: April, 2008
This was a nice park. The roads were paved and the sites were in concrete. It was a well kept park with large sites. The pool and clubhouse were small. The park was next to Jacksonville flea market and one exit to shopping. The park had on site detailing which I thought was nice. The people who work there were nice to deal with. Pecan park is close to the airport so you can hear the planes take off and land. I will come back in the future.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
I have been to a lot of parks over the years and this one did not impress me at all. The park was more like a horse ranch with RV sites. The smell of the horses was terrible and their manure was all over the road. I found that the bathrooms were old and not clean with mildew in the shower stalls. Some of the sites were level but when it rained they were muddy. The help was very friendly and helpful. We stayed two nights and left.
Date of Stay: September, 2007
This is a fun park. The pool is huge with a bar and grille. The sites were nice but narrow. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. Upon arrival staff escorted us to our site and got us anything we needed. On premises there is put put golf, fishing and a game room. This park is great for the whole family. The staff was very friendly and i would return in the future. Close to the beach and shopping.

"Really good."
Reviewed Sep. 5, 2010
"This is such an easy way to fix up eggplant and fast. I used spagetti sauce instead, and I also sprinkled the eggplant with garlic powder and itailian seasoning. I olny used half of the parmesan, but I also spinked it with motzerella. It is simple, but very good, and will definately be making it again."

Regarding Danette Mitchell's column ("Mental health disparities explained," Nov. 17): I attended clinical psychologist Gloria Morrow's recent dinner seminar in Napa concerning the very same topic with many Kaiser physicians.
My experience of depression a few years ago was among the issues that she spoke about, and many of the physicians were totally surprised about the disparity differences and mental health issues concerning the African-American culture. Morrow gave a brilliant discussion.
So, great scoop, Ms. Mitchell.
