Guys and Real Dolls: a Story of Stunted Emotional Growth, Fear of Rejection, Acute Loneliness and Ne HTML version
I – Introduction
In 2007, the BBC produced "Guys and Dolls1", a groundbreaking documentary about men
who choose to buy life-like dolls ("RealDolls2") as companions. Based on a 2008 case of
necrophilia in Q uebec 3, the definition provided by Rosman and Resnick
4 and
observations gleaned from the documentary, I will endeavour to draw a parallel between
necrophiliacs and men who form attachments to RealDolls. Using as an example three
sex doll owners from the documentary (Everard, Gordon and Davecat), I will show that a
dysfunctional relationship with an overbearing parent (or parents) can stunt a person 's
emotional growth, causing him or her to have difficulty forming meaningful attachments
with humans out of a fear of rejection and to find solace in anatomically perfect
'alternative' partners. I will then argue that media and a culture of male domination also
account for the three men's unrealistic expectations of women and romantic relationships.

He was on time, very friendly, and thorough. We received our detailed report the next day!
Great response, very knowledgeable and works well with clients
Saved me from buying a money pit.
Very thorough, but not overly "picky". FAIR - pointed out those items of most concern, not all the little (obvious) items.
Inspector overlooked a rotted/moldy subfloor beneath a toilet, which had an active leak into basement - pretty noticeable.
We are so sorry that you had a a bad experience. We are happy to come back out and take a look. Just give us a call @ 517-579-2016
Very punctual, personable. Easy to ask questions and explained the process.
Scott was great. He took his time and explained things to us throughout the inspection.
Scott made sure I understood exactly what he saw during inspection. He asked my knowledge in certain things and when my knowledge wasn't much he made sure I knew what the issue was...how to avoid it and how to maintain the property. Amerispec was very thorough and provided excellent service. I would recommend them to everyone I know in need of inspection!
Very professional and thorough. The Results Report was done quickly after actual physical inspection and was easy to read and understand by my Buyer Client.

Scott was very thorough and took time to explain how things worked. He made sure to carefully check everything and double check if necessary.
Scott was personable and yet stayed focused on the inspection through out the time he was with the client. Fair, honest and balanced feedback on the condition of the home.
Thorough but fast
Well done, will definitely refer you in the future.
The thoroughness of Scott. His professionalism and knowledge. He made every effort to make sure the house was inspected correctly and kept us informed along the way.
Very thorough investigation and informative. Scott took the time to explain things and I will definitely recommend you guys to others.
THROUGH! They honestly took time and checked every inch of the house. I like them so much I used them a second time on a different house time after the first inspection helped me realize how bad house number one was!

Re: Being The Booker
~4,000th post~
Yeah, I've been sitting around, fairly bored for the last few days, so I've decided to kick into gear earlier than I said I would. Disappointing amount of feedback on The Royal Rumble overall, but that's to be expected when you only review 3 or 4 people I guess. That, and the fact it's a bitch to not just read but comment on a long ass PPV. Hopefully whoever read the show at least enjoyed it. Was certainly one of my favourites to write.
Anyway, for the time being, I'll dish out some post-Rumble news and rumours. Read into them what you will... a Raw preview will follow in the coming days.
- As it stands now, Triple H vs Christian will headline WrestleMania, giving the results coming out of the Royal Rumble in Indianapolis. However, many are split over this direction, with a lot of momentum building backstage to go with an alternative route and see a Brock Lesnar face turn to take on Triple H. For that to now happen, Triple H would need to drop the World Title, but The Game has been dead set on main eventing WrestleMania, and with his pull, it would seem it'll be his decision whether to stick to his guns and get the main event - the most logical main event-, or see the potential in a first ever meeting with a white hot Brock Lesnar.
With SuperBrawl to come in just under three weeks, it'd be a perfect opportunity for The Game to drop the title, most likely to John Cena, setting the stage for two huge contests at WrestleMania, and the top two matches that many are pulling for, as there are many feeling that although a Lesnar - Cena feud would be worthy of WrestleMania, there isnt a feeling they could go into the event with an electric feud.
- Over on Smackdown, Rob Van Dam is all but locked to carry the belt into WrestleMania, and most certainly, will be defending the championship against Edge. Time has been running out for Edge to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, and it now seems inevitable he'll do so at the biggest event of the year. For now, it's too early to say who will leave New Orleans with the title, but by March 18, Van Dam will have held the title for seven months, and by that stage, it will likely be time to go into a new direction.
One concerning piece of news coming out has been that Rob Van Dam has stalled on signing a new WWE contract, with his current deal set to expire in June. If this issue was to drag on much further, a decision could be taken to pull Van Dam from the title scene, and begin to build around another star, in for the long haul. Money doesnt appear to be the issue, but it would appear RVD has other options outside of wrestling he'd like to consider.
- Van Dam isnt the only star that could be departing the company soon. Chris Jericho is expected to take time off in the summer in order to tour in England with Fozzy for the festival season, and possibly longer to recuperate from years on the road. Shawn Michaels has also been making noises about taking time off this summer, in a bid to heal some long standing nagging injuries. Michaels, despite returning in 2002 for a reduced schedule, has found himself back on the road full time over the last 18 months, and the effects are beginning to catch up with HBK.
- With WrestleMania on the horizon, the event is appearing to take shape, with the two Raw main events to see either Triple H or John Cena vs Christian, and Triple H or John Cena vs Brock Lesnar. Shawn Michaels is likely to meet Mick Foley, especially after Foley's surprise appearance to further that angle at the Royal Rumble. The budding feud between Straight Edge and the World Tag Team Champions, MNM, is also likely to culminate on March 18.
On Smackdown, RVD is expected to be challenged by Edge, The Undertaker and Kurt Angle would appear to be a lock, and Matt & Jeff Hardy could be paired for a feud with AMW if the ongoing rivalry with Matt and the tag team champions continues. If not, both Hardy Brothers are expected to be part of the Money in the Bank ladder match, which has been touted to return this year, with both Raw and Smackdown involved.
- Randy Orton appears to be out in the cold at the moment in regard to WrestleMania. Ever since the fallout between Ric Flair and the WWE, Ortons WrestleMania opponent has been up in the air. It had been rumoured he would face RVD for the WWE Championship by winning the Royal Rumble, but that now appears to be dead. With Chris Jericho also without a program for WrestleMania, there is a chance they could be paired up, but a face turn would be required from one of the two parties. Rey Mysterio had also been rumoured as a possible opponent, but after he won the Intercontinental Championship last night, that would also appear to be dead in the water.
- Carlito has been advertised for upcoming Smackdown house shows. He had been hotly tipped for a switch to Friday Nights after slipping down the pecking order on Raw. It's hoped a move will rejuvenate the former Intercontinental Champion, who had been highly thought of not twelve months ago.
wwe.com News;
The WWE has parted ways with The Highlanders with immediate effect. They are wished good luck with their future endeavours.
Few bits of gossip for the time being ... Raw preview at some point this weekend.

Dealing with split-circuit receptacles
Hi all,
I'm re-wiring the receptacles for my new kitchen and I've discovered that the available power is from a split 15 amp circuit.
What has me a little confused is how the old outlets were wired so I wanted to ask you all about it here. There was a run of three receptacles, with the red hot powering the first all by itself, the black hot powering the subsequent two, and a common neutral and ground throughout.
Am I correct in thinking that this is not up to code and sort of defeats the purpose of having split-circuit in the first place?
Aside from possibly being against code, is there anything terribly wrong with such a setup? - With using a split circuit to power seperate receptacles rather than just each half of the same receptacle? I only ask because this seems to be the only way I could install GFCIs, which one cannot, if I understand correctly, install on a split circuit.
Any comments? Any general code guidelines when dealing with split-circuit?
They are called MWBC or MultiWire Branch Circuit.
Search for those terms.
This is an "electrical trick" which takes advantage of Alternating Current. While one wire is using the electricity one "direction", the other is using it in an opposite "direction". They balance themselves out on the one neutral.
What you are describing are NOT split wired receptacles. Split wired would have both black and red on the same receptacle and the tab cut. You have a multiwire branch circuit.
You need to post you location and the amperage of the circuit to know if it is up to code.
Thanks for the quick replies.
I'm living in Toronto, and I believe the circuit is 15 amps across two breakers that are connected to each other. (Probably a little old)
I knew that they weren't set up as split-circuit, and yes none of the tabs were cut. My confusion was that I thought the two hot wires meant they were supposed to split-wire the receptacles but just chose not to. So it seems that just because I have two hot wires it doesn't mean I have to split-wire receptacles but might instead use the "trick" that billybob speaks of? At any rate, I will look into MWBC. Thank you both for bringing it to my attention!
When you have a 120/240 volt multiwire branch circuit with two hots and one neutral, daisy chaining from one outlet box to the next, then ground fault interrupters demand one of the following:
1. A single 120/240 volt GFCI breaker at the panel,
2. Individual GFCI receptacles in each and every outlet box,
3. One GFCI receptacle at the first outlet box for the black hot serving that box only and one GFCI receptacle at the second box for the red hot serving all remaining boxes.
4. After the first outlet box (with a GFCI unit) a separate hot and neutral pair continuing downstream for the GFCI protected (load side) continuation from the first GFCI.
YOur situation can have GFCI units installed as #3.
SPlitting the halves of a duplex receptacle can also be done with separate hot and neutral pairs (non-MWBC wiring) when the tabs between the screws are broken off on both sides of the receptacle. Both circuits must go to breakers with handles tied together.
This is a Canadian kitchen. You need to specify your location. It makes a difference on the answer you get.
You are correct. 15 amp receptacles on the counter are not permitted. You must wire them as split wired receptacles. If you want to install GFCI then you need either 15 amp double pole GFCI breaker or run 20 amp circuits and use 20 amp T slot GFCIs.

Rec center at 700?
I got your rec center. It's called Steamboat. Two ski mountains, one of the top Nordic facilities in the world, endless hiking and biking trails with not so bad views, world-class fishing, four golf courses, sweet tennis facility, a well done Core Trail, killer kayak and rafting rapids, all kinds of camping : sick longboarding roads:gnarly tubing : plenty of county roads to don your cycling tights:and a bunch of intramural sports and activities, etc. And I'm sure I missed a few recreational opportunities : we need a rec center about as bad as we need more rain.
- Tubes
Too much building
Does not take an intelligent person to see that Steamboat is building itself into disaster. OK. We get these 2,000-plus homes built, sold and then occupied. Where are the people going to work? With no jobs in our valley, how are they going to support their homes and families? Do we want industry in our county?
- justice4all
700 and taxes
No matter how much we squeeze the 700 project, the end result will be passed on and it will end up as a tax on the community. This allows the leaders to stand up and demand from 700, concessions that they can hold up as trophies, when in reality they are imposing more taxes. No free ride!
- Fred Duckels
City can't take risk
Council has it so right - the city cannot take on the potential future funding shortfalls. (Steamboat) 700 is talking 35 years of financing?
I do sympathize with the investors behind 700. The land use plans on paper are really good. But we now have a large inventory of residential units for sale, and absorption rates are going to be low for a while. The math looks bad.
My concern is that the short-term profit of their investment is becoming more and more reliant on the infrastructure and service costs (mill-levy taxes) they will hand off to future 700 residents.
- Steve Lewis
Cyclists need to obey laws
I, too, am a cyclist and am mortified when I see riders blatantly disobey traffic laws. I'd single out the riders on "cruisers" also. Although the bike lane striping on Oak Street is a help, I believe that stop and lane lines on our highly traveled roads are more essential. More people drive cars than ride bicycles. I own two automobiles and pay taxes for both. I assume they contribute more wear and tear on our roads than do my two bikes.

Global warming thoughts
Oxygen consumption at ground level has nothing to do with the ozone layer. Protecting the ozone layer is all about stopping certain gases such as CFCs from reaching the ozone layer where they break down the ozone layer.
And the CO2 and other greenhouse gases have major effects on the climate at concentrations far below atmospheric oxygen. The suggestion that we have burned off oxygen that will take billions of years for photosynthesis to replace is simply wrong. We are not going to run out of oxygen.
The idea that we face extinction in 60 years is not widely held. Surface temp and climate may be a few degrees warmer, which would have major climate and ecological effects, but it does not threaten us with extinction. It might make us a lot poorer as agricultural regions become less productive and so on.
- Scott Wedel
Need for new energy
What we need is a comprehensive effort to reduce our dependence on foreign energy. Lets face it, the technology does not yet exist to replace oil and coal as our primary energy sources. It is long past due to begin the process but our initial efforts should be toward becoming energy self-sufficient.
While I am a supporter of alternative energy and renewable resources, riding your bicycle is not going to save the Earth. At most it will add a few years to your life assuming that you follow basic traffic laws.

text: In England's spectacular North East, Yorkshire and Northumberland are both counties that offer something for everyone. Yorkshire is world renowned for the beauty of its countryside and its scenery, reaching from the Dales in the west to the Moors in the east. There are also historic towns and cities, a spectacular coastline, much of which is in the care of the Trust, and some of the most magnificent historic houses in the country. The cathedral city of York, where the Trust has the holiday apartment Minstergate, has a huge variety on offer to visitors - from magnificent York Minster to the medieval Shambles, an area steeped in history and now rich in gift and antique shops alongside fashionable boutiques. Northumberland too abounds in magnificent scenery with wide open stretches of moorland and a long and dramatic coastline. Steeped in history, protecting the border with Scotland since the days when Hadrian's army built the famous Wall, the county also has a wonderful collection of historic houses and castles including Cragside, Wallington and Lindisfarne, all of which are in the care of the Trust. The Trust now has cottages close to Hadrian's Wall itself and in many other spectacular locations including Alnwick and Fountains Abbey, a World Heritage Site.

Ben Cherington confirms Daniel Bard is going to be a starter … at least in February
|12.11.11 at 12:51 pm ET
It seemed like an innocent statement that had a kind of 'cart before the horse' vibe to it.
Bobby Valentine, while speaking at the 'Christmas at Fenway' event Saturday, had this to say about the role of Daniel Bard:
"Daniel [said], as we would hope he would say, 'Hey, whatever's best for the team. I'm going to go into spring training saying, Whatever's best for the team.' But he's going to get innings as a starter would in spring training. He's going to be penciled in to be one of those guys who works going from his bullpen to pitching two innings to pitching four innings to pitching six innings. Whenever we get to that plateau, with the pitching coach I'll hopefully have by my side soon, and all the members of the staff and front office. We'll have to make a determination after that 18-20 inning mark as to where he will be during the season. I told him to prepare to be a starter and if that, in fact, does not happen to be ready and willing to be our closer."
It was previously believed that such a decision would wait until the Red Sox uncovered whom might be available on either the closer or starting pitching market. But evidently the team has decided to jump-start the process, prioritizing the importance of Bard preparing himself heading into February.
In an email to WEEI.com, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington confirmed that Bard would, indeed, be entering spring training as a starter.
"He'll come to camp as a starter," Cherington wrote. "Daniel knows we'll do everything we can to help him succeed in that role and ultimately hes ready to do whatever it takes to win games."
Jonathan Papelbon, of course, came to camp as a starter in 2007 before being seamlessly switched to closer in March.
Bard told WEEI.com during spring training prior to the 2011 season regarding starting:
"I kind of would like to try it. It's something I would like to do. It would kind of challenge myself. You've never proven yourself, but I know I can do the reliever thing for myself, just as a personal challenge, [starting] would be cool."
It is a transformation Texas GM Jon Daniels is intimately familiar with, having made the move with C.J. Wilson, Alexi Ogando, and, for the coming season, Neftali Feliz. Daniels notes that perhaps the most important part of the process is the player's acceptance of the differences facing him.
"The biggest single factor to C.J.'s success in the transition last year, in my opinion, was his desire to do it," wrote Daniels in an e-mail. "That led to everything else — the extra work in the weight room, asking questions of Nolan [Ryan], [pitching coach] Mike [Maddux] and others, studying his craft. Bottom line is he wanted it."

We put up the Christmas tree today! I know it's supposed to go up on or after December 1st, but we were feeling festive - plus Bella has been begging all week to put it up early.
A couple of weeks ago Bella and I started making pompoms to decorate the tree. I decided that we were leaving all the store bought decorations in the cupboard and just doing handmade on the tree this year. We made nearly 100 pompoms = crazy.
It was a struggle to get them all done, especially towards the end when we hit the 60 or so 'pompom' mark, but I'm so glad we carried on. This is my dream tree, love it - and I love it so much that I think I'll give away all my pretty baubles and just keep adding extra pompoms and handmade goodness every year.
{Stacked fabric tree tutorial HERE}
All of the handmade decorations have either been made by myself, my Mum (the cute knitted stockings - I'd love more of these Mum!!), my mother-in-law or the kids.
{My felt reindeer tutorial is HERE}
{My salt dough decoration tutorial is HERE + info on the beaded tree HERE}
{Make your own clothespin angel HERE}
There's also our handmade nativity set in our lounge room. I know I share photos of this every single Christmas, but it's one of my favourite things:
I just need to add presents under the tree, Bella and James' Christmas elves and some Christmas tinsel that Bella is crocheting (thanks for the lovely idea, Emily!!).
Thanks for stopping by. I will announce the book winner tomorrow. xoxo

Freeport sued in federal court
By BEN GRAFTON
At the Freeport City Council meeting of Oct. 11, City Attorney Clayton Adkinson reported that a wrongful termination law suit has been filed by John Carter against Freeport in federal court.
City Planner Latilda Henninger reported that she is looking into the possibility of a grant application for a pilot program in Freeport under the Water Front Florida program administered by the Department of Community Affairs. These grants are available for projects that address issues of Florida's "working waterfronts."
Mayor Mickey Marse reported to the Council that the Department of Transportation wants Freeport to pledge its water revenue to secure a promissory note providing funds to the city for relocating its water and sewer lines in preparation for the widening of U.S. 331. The cost of the relocations is estimated to be $2,380,000, a very large sum for the city. Dedicating water revenue to cover the note could put the city in a bind in the future.
Marse reported that he met with Greg Kisela who said, that if the city agreed, he was prepared to recommend a proposal to the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for the county to cover the outstanding amount due for one of the city's fire trucks plus additional operating funds to total the $275,000 the city has asked for in order to continue providing fire protection for Walton County locations. This agreement would apply only to the 2011 – 2012 budget year. It is understood that this proposal will be presented to the BCC for approval at its next meeting.
Parks Director Shane Supple reported that three bids have been received to install new electric meters to partition electric service within the Freeport Sports Complex. He said that although costly, this action would save the city money in the long run. The Council gave its approval to go ahead with the project.
The Council gave its approval to the Freeport Town Planters to proceed with plans for their arts and craft show in March 2012.
Councilman Earl King reported on the search for a new water system operator. He said he has interviewed a very knowledgeable candidate who he believes can handle the job. Marse concurs with the evaluation. King said, given the size of the expanding Freeport system, he did not know where he could turn if the city does not approve hiring this individual. The problem is that the budget for this position is less than the $47,000 it will take to secure the services of this applicant. He said he found operators in other systems are getting more money than this. King recommended that the Council approve the funding needed to hire the applicant. The Council approved going ahead with making the offer to the applicant.
Revised rankings for the Energy Grant audit delivered the same results as the original rankings. The Council approved awarding the work to AMEC. City Clerk Robin Haynes will issue a new, updated contract.
Marse reported that bids for a new energy efficient motor for No. 2 water well came in so high that they will push the energy upgrade project over its budget by $20,000. By dropping the motor from the job scope the project would be within the cost projected for the grant, but it is not known if the state would approve this change. If not, the grant could be lost. The city will approach the state on this matter.
The rankings for all seven firms seeking to provide continuing engineering services to the city have been completed. The mayor and Council agreed that three firms should be selected to provide these services. A special meeting was scheduled for Oct. 18 for the purpose of negotiating terms of the contracts. The three top firms in the rankings are: Preble-Rish, Praestare and Garver.
Haynes reported that well inspections are complete and that there are no serious items in the report.

Consumer demand at 20-year high, report finds
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) has hit the high point in its 20-year history, according to a national survey released today.
Americans' satisfaction with their shopping and consumption experiences increased by 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 to a level of 76.8 on a 100-point scale, the survey found.
"Satisfied consumers are good for the economy because they create more demand, which is critical for economic recovery," said Claes Fornell, chairman of the index, in a news release. He is a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan, where the index was created.
"The strong ACSI numbers suggest that while consumer demand is now pretty strong, it is a latent demand that needs to be triggered by improvement in household discretionary income and consumer confidence in order for the spending to fully materialize," he said.
The ACSI uses data from interviews with roughly 70,000 customers annually, analyzing customer satisfaction with more than 230 companies in 43 industries, as well as more than 100 services, programs, and websites of federal government agencies.
The full report can be found at theacsi.org.

Whatever she became in the end, she was H O T back in the day.
I remember sitting in a class being given by a very cool E-5 in a gym at Fort Polk, about the new (to the OPFOR, anyway) M249 SAW. The guy had butcher block paper on an easel, and as he flipped the pages it had diagrams of the SAW labeled with what the part(s) was/were: TRIGGER GROUP ASSEMBLY, next page GAS PISTON, next page FEED TRAY COVER... Then he flipped the page and there was a nice Playmate of the Year centerfold of ANS, labeled, appropriately, ANNA NICOLE SMITH. We all got a kick out of it, and anyone who hadn't been paying attention quickly snapped to.
Sad life................
To bad the only ones to make out on this will be the media & lawyers............
Had a newsflash email on this - and immediately thought intentional OD or accidental.
Not sure re foul play but I guess the media will make a meal out of it all for days!!
I have nothing nice to say about it.
Every day there are people that truly contribute to society that have their lives end suddenly and prematurely. No one takes the time to even notice. Now we have someone like this, who is known for drug and alcohol abuse, has contributed essentially nothing to society, and it's big news. THAT is the sad part, not her passing.
+1 amlevin.
:danceban: :duh: I wonder who gets all the money now. you can buy a lot of guns with that much loot.
My original comment when I first heard today still stands:
Not a surprise. Not a tragedy. (and I continued walking to my destination.)
Oh, I'm sure it had nothing to do with drugs.......you think? **Sarcasm off **

The Real Election Climate
As voters prepare to make their way to the booths this coming Tuesday, our allies at 350.org remind us to keep climate in mind. We, at Climate Counts, share 350.org's conviction and hope that whatever administration enters the White House next, will take meaningful action to address the global climate crisis. Enjoy the following guest post from 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben and happy voting.
We're days away from the election now — the election that may decide not only who sits in the White House, but whether the Atlantic eventually rises up the front steps. Most of the country has been concentrating on the financial meltdown, but even that is as nothing compared to the real meltdown now underway across the planet — our home planet, the one we share whether we're rich or poor, American or African, or, for that matter, human or plant or animal.
Which is why we've been running a campaign all fall to remind the presidential candidates that this election is about Ohio, and Florida, and Pennsylvania — and Bangladesh. That the battlegrounds include New Hampshire and Nevada — and Nairobi. That bailing out Wall Street is about pumping money into the credit markets — and figuring out a way to wean our economy off the gas pump.
Some of us spent last year coordinating a massive nationwide campaign that staged 2,000 rallies in all 50 states, calling for big cuts in American carbon emissions. That work here at home has to continue. When Congress begins a new session in January, we'll need to push for the first real federal legislation on climate, after two decades of waiting. Not "drill, baby, drill," but "insulate, baby, insulate."
But just as important, either Barack Obama or John McCain will need to reengage the United States in the international process for reaching a global agreement on climate change. If we don't, we can cut as much as we like out of our carbon emissions and it won't do much to slow the planet's warming. Even as the financial markets struggle, we have the capital and the technology to make a crucial difference. After all, Americans are the biggest per capita polluters of all, but we've played no role in the global climate talks over the last eight years. That must end. Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said last year that we have until 2012 to make huge changes as a planet or it will be too late.
Luckily, there's a process in place. In December 2009, the leaders of the world are scheduled to come together in Copenhagen to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto agreement. If there's any chance of that meeting providing a real breakthrough, though, there's much groundwork that needs to be done beforehand. In December 2008, after the American election but before Inauguration Day, the world is meeting in Poland to prepare for the Copenhagen climate talks. The winner of November's presidential election could rivet the world's attention on these negotiations if he flew to Poland in December and declared that the United States is back in the game.
To make that happen, we at 350.org are running a campaign to let people all across the planet issue invitations to the president-elect. Just by going here, you'll be able to compose an invite to McCain and Obama. And if you're even the tiniest bit tech-savvy, you can add a video version of your invite for our nifty interactive globe. You can also — and this is really key — alert friends all around the world so they can do the same. We want McCain and Obama to know that on every corner of the globe, people are hoping against hope that America is ready to lead again.
The new president needs to bring a clear message with him to Poland, of course — a message that the next administration understands the ever-more-pressing challenge to get the planet's atmosphere back below 350 parts per million CO2 so that we can slow the melting of the ice caps and ward off massive increases in sea level, so that we can rein in the spread of mosquitoes and avoid climatic upheavals like the failure of the monsoons. McCain or Obama will need to bring plans and policies to mitigate damage that it's too late to avoid, and to spread the technology that will let China, India, and the rest of the developing world grow without burning their coal. But most of all, our next president will need to bring the spirit of cooperation that's been missing for so long. Just showing up in Poland would be a good start.
All of us in America will be focusing on the swing states and the key precincts for the next few hours. But here's an easy way to remember we're not just Americans. We live on a planet. We're earthlings too.

The Odyssey – Book I
The Odyssey
reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things,
O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you
may know them.
So now all who escaped death in battle or by ship-
wreck had got safely home except Ulysses, and he,
though he was longing to return to his wife and
country, was detained by the goddess Calypso, who
had got him into a large cave and wanted to marry
him. But as years went by, there came a time when
the gods settled that he should go back to Ithaca;
even then, however, when he was among his own
people, his troubles were not yet over; nevertheless
all the gods had now begun to pity him except Nep-
tune, who still persecuted him without ceasing and
would not let him get home.
Now Neptune had gone off to the Ethiopians,
who are at the world's end, and lie in two halves,
the one looking West and the other East. He had
gone there to accept a hecatomb of sheep and oxen,
and was enjoying himself at his festival; but the
other gods met in the house of Olympian Jove, and
Translated by Samuel Butler
TELL ME, O MUSE, of that ingenious hero who trav-
elled far and wide after he had sacked the famous
town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many
were the nations with whose manners and customs
he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by
sea while trying to save his own life and bring his
men safely home; but do what he might he could
not save his men, for they perished through their
own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god
Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever

Old York Road will be closed on April 8th to do work on the bridge that goes over the PA Turnpike. The bridge is near the Defense Logistics Agency and is located between Normandy Memorial Road and Marsh Run Road. Both lanes of Old York Road will be closed to traffic until the end of October. Traffic patterns will be altered, and drivers can expect delays at intersections on and near Lewisberry Road until the construction is completed. The detour is I-83 and is outlined in the attached map: Old York Road Detour.
When there is an accident on I-83 that requires lane closures, expect very heavy and congested traffic conditions both on the Interstate and on nearby side roads. In these circumstances, traffic will be diverted off of I-83, either at exit 32 or 39A depending on whether the closure is north or south-bound, and onto Lewisberry Road. Drivers will then be directed back on to the Interstate after approximately 7 miles. See the attached map for the I-83 emergency incident temporary detour: I-83 Accident Detour
The PA Turnpike plans to launch a project website so interested parties can stay informed of the progress. To access the website, visit www.paturnpike.com click on the link for "Major Design and Construction Projects" and click on the MP242 to 245 project.
Fairview Township Police are asking for drivers to be patient during this construction period, and recommend allowing extra travel time to get to your destination if it is within the detour route.

Mayhem # 2501043
About MeHello, my name is Ashley. I am a hair stylist, makeup artist, and photographer at Brock Cassidie Salon in Buckhead. Dancing with Scissors (Hair Designs by Ashley Skelly) is a page that is focused specifically on my work and passion for hair, makeup, photography, and art. Dancing has always been a creative outlet for me and was a huge part of my life growing up. Hair and makeup have also always been a creative and fun outlet for me as well. Styling my hair, other people's hair, and of course dancing and singing whenever possible throughout the day have become a daily part of my routine, and I am loving every minute of it.
I am very new to the Atlanta area, and am looking to network and work with models, photographers, makeup artist, and anyone else who is involved in the beauty industry. I would love the opportunity to create art together!
I specialize in Hair styling, updos, hair cutting, and hair coloring. Those services are offered at the salon. I do not do free cut or color services, but I can get you 50% off if it is your first time visiting me.
I also offer photography, personal styling, and makeup services.
This is how I make a living, so there is very little TFP/CD work I will do, thank you for understanding. I am willing to work with you on pricing though. I can do it all: hair, makeup, and photography.

Windows form an integral part of our historic built environment. The very 'eyes' of a building, they lend important architectural expression to a facade as well as serving the more practical function of admitting light inside and permitting views to the outside world. An appreciation of the unique handcrafted characteristics, detailing and quality materials used in historic windows' construction has grown in recent years, where many seminars and publications have rightly focused on the design and detailing of this precious architectural inheritance.
Less common has been a thorough exploration of the options available when it comes to the detailed structural repair and thermal upgrading of historic windows and new windows in traditional buildings. There have been significant advances in technology in these fields in recent years, particularly in glass products being widely promoted for use in England and Scotland in both historic window fabric as well as reproduction frames. Likewise, the conventional focus on the repair of timber windows is widening, as an appreciation of other forms of traditional window emerges, including cast-iron and mild steel window framing in buildings as diverse as industrial and public edifices to the modest suburban house. Even timber itself has been undergoing a revolution, with new forms of treated and modified timber products emerging on the market. This innovation and development, in addition to new demands associated with Building Energy Rating (BER), requires a careful reassessment of approaches to window specification and repair to ensure that the principles of best conservation practice continue to be upheld.
This stimulating one-day Dublin Civic Trust seminar will feature a host of expert speakers and practitioners exploring the options available to building professionals, clients and householders in approaching conservation and restoration of historic windows in line with current best practice.
The day will include topics including:
Timber identification and specification
Dating historic glass using ultraviolet technology
Practical demonstration of window joinery, glass and putty repair
Case studies of period window and door repair
Exposition and demonstration of thermal glass products
Conservation of windows under the Planning & Development Act, 2000 – what is permissible?
Repair and thermal upgrading of metal windows - cast-iron and steel
Group discussion and questions and answers will be encouraged throughout
All courses take place in Dublin Civic Trust's premises at 4 Castle Street, Dublin 2, unless otherwise stated. Castle Street is a small street that runs parallel to Lord Edward Street and Dame Street, skirting the walls of Dublin Castle. Click here to view a map of our location.
Getting to Us
Approaching from College Green/Trinity College, continue along Dame Street in the direction of Christ Church Cathedral, passing the pedestrian entrance to Dublin Castle and City Hall on the left. Immediately after City Hall, turn left up Cork Hill towards the main entrance gates to Dublin Castle. Immediately on the right is Castle Street.

The Luxury of Austerity
Price: €170
"When conservation is done modestly and correctly it goes unnoticed, but when it is done badly it has a terrifying impact on owners' lives".
Seminar Theme
The provocative title is driven by how we need to think of conservation as 'best value', acknowledging that often only essential works are affordable but aiming at how we can get 'better conservation' rather than 'overdone restoration'. Too much money in the wrong hands often leaves a building with her personality masked and her history whitewashed. The Luxury of Austerity means spending less but achieving more. 'Less is more' as they often say.
Seminar Content
The day will also showcase the experience of Edinburgh as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the operation of procedures put in place to centrally manage building conservation. Through John's in-depth knowledge of the scheme, he will highlight problems that have arisen in the specification of alleged unnecessary works, damaging repairs and interventions, and a culture of so-called "precautionary work overwhelming essential work" that has developed through the issuing of statutory notices. He will assess the real meaning of 'minimum intervention' and how this can be best achieved for the benefit of both buildings and their owners.
John Addison is one of the leading practitioners in building conservation in the United Kingdom and is in high demand for public seminars, lectures and professional input to projects. This is a must-attend day for any practitioner wishing to upskill, gain expertise or simply broaden their understanding of historic buildings and how best to approach their repair and conservation.

Of course, I am not denying anyone's opinion. When it comes to hard opinions the best thing is to agree to disagree when nothing can be resolved. I can, as well as anyone else, disagree with another poster's analysis. Would you deny me that? Golden Skate was full of threads both pro and con on B&S and S&P. Nobody tried to stop all that, or deny anyone their say.Originally Posted by hongligl
Actually I don't know the numbers for the total scores. Maybe, you are correct in adding in the SP. If so, I admit I rushed to judgment.
The bottom line in the judgement of the LP at the SLC was 4 in favor 4 against and another judge was disgraced in an unresolved collusion. A sad state of affairs for both teams. That vote clearly demonstrates that there was a denial of full agreement. No one is forced to agree in a debate I believe itis called Point and Counterpoint.

OhhhhhhhhEmmmmmmmmGeeeeeeeeeeee. Everybody, just calm down. Calm. Down. It's fine, everything's fine. And we're all gonna be fine, and the kids are all right. Y'all. Remember how, like, ages ago there was a rumor that Ryan Gosling was gonna play Christian Grey in the highly-anticipated (depending on who you are) 50 Shades Of Grey movie? And then that rumor got shut down? And then sexy-ass Stephen Amell from Arrow came forward and said he'd been approached to take the lead? And then Ryan Gosling came out and said he was gonna be taking a break from acting? Yeah, no. Shut all that ish down, because it has been confirmed that Ryan Gosling will be taking on the role of Christian motherfriggen Grey. This is happening, y'all! Click inside for more! Aghhhh!!!!
Here's the statement from the production studio. I kind of can't even believe this:
…Although we are quite a ways off from production, we can confirm that Ryan Gosling will be taking on the role of Christian Grey in the forthcoming adaptation of E. L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey. We are thrilled to have such an amazing talent on board and are currently looking for an equally brilliant actress to play the role of Ana. There is no filming date in sight as of yet, but we do hope to go into production by fall 2014.
I cannot wait to hear what you guys think of this! Crazy, right?!
Honestly though? Honestly? Ryan Gosling as Christian Grey?! Unbelievable. I honestly don't even know where I am right now. Or who I am. Or what day it is.
Wait. What's that? It's April 1st you say? Hmmmm.
Guess that makes this an APRIL FOOL'S DAY post!!! GAhhhhhh!!!!! Ryan Gosling in 50 Shades Of Grey? Ain't nobody got time fa dat!!!

Yesterday, the White House released a long-awaited set of recommendations that are focused on helping individuals take greater control of how their data is collected and used for online marketing purposes. It includes what's being referred to as a "Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights."
The language is vague. The timeline to completion is long. The guidelines, for now, are "opt-in" for organizations. All true.
But folks? The glory days of scraping and selling and repurposing customer data are over. The Oval Office has spoken on the issue of privacy and personal data, and its bill of rights is crystal clear: Tell me what you're collecting, how you're using it, protect it well, give me a copy, and give me a chance to correct it, delete it, or opt out entirely.
Sound familiar? It should.
We've written about personal identity management because we recognize that:

Guest post from Researcher Chris Sherman.
Data privacy laws are the champions of citizens' rights in the digital age. However, multi-national organizations often find these laws challenging to navigate given the complex framework of global legal requirements. To help our clients address these challenges, Forrester developed a research and planning tool called the Data Privacy Heat Map (try the demo version here). Leveraging in-depth analyses on the privacy legislation of 54 countries around the world, this product is aimed at helping our clients better strategize their own global privacy and data protection approaches.
Using the tool, one can quickly determine how various countries stack up against each another in terms of their data privacy standards. Each country has been rated across seven key criteria, covering the breadth of law, EU adequacy, data transfer limitations, government surveillance activities, etc. Leveraging this data, our clients will be able to establish their own data privacy "high watermarks", ensuring compliance in all locales in which their organization operates. One such application is in the use of cloud computing. Since the cloud is borderless, jurisdictional-based privacy laws are often a mismatch when applied to clouds. When considering outsourcing to a cloud service, companies should consult Forrester's Privacy Heat Map to determine, for example, whether their data will be at risk of residing in a country with questionable governance surveillance practices.

Google has handled its privacy debate by being disarmingly clear with a little note left on the fridge the other week.
We're tidying up and love data too much to not want to connect it better.
Like it or lump it.
Love Google.
It's their right - they are after all a private company and not the public service we somehow feel them to be. Google wants to "create a beautifully simple, intuitive user experience" and its data consolidation is what will help it do this. Facebook makes one product called Facebook while Google up until now has chosen to run many nom de plumes, betas, and side initiatives. I'd like to see a more capable 'joined up' Google sparring with Apple and Facebook on who can do the coolest and most useful things for people using data. In truth, the Google engineering team must be relieved to ditch the sticking plasters and chewing gum connecting the hitherto disparate data sets they manage.

Recall -- Firm Press Release
FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.
Recall of Expired All Natural Peanut Butter Cookies Sold to Organic To Go in 2007
Organic To Go Discontinued Use Of The Manufacturer's Product in September 2007
Organic To Go
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- SEATTLE, Wash, March 25, 2009 – Organic To Go™ announced today that the Company is participating in the voluntary recall of cookies produced in 2007 by its prior manufacturer which were distributed in 2007 with the brand name of Organic to Go All Natural Peanut Butter Cookies. These cookies were manufactured using peanut products recalled by Peanut Corporation of America because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. Organic To Go has changed its cookie supplier in the meantime.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more sever illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The Peanut Butter Cookies involved in this recall were manufactured and distributed between May 2007 and September 2007. The cookies were individually wrapped in clear plastic with orange and green labels printed with the brand "O To Go" and labeled as All Natural Peanut Butter Cookie (no UPC code). The cookies were distributed directly to and sold by Organic to Go retail cafés and catering customers in addition to third party foodservice providers in California and Washington.
Jason R. Brown, Organic To Go CEO, stated, "It is important to note that there have been no known illnesses reported in connection with this 2007 product and that we have not sold cookies produced by the prior manufacturer since September 2007. While it is extremely unlikely that any of these cookies are still in existence, we are voluntarily participating in this recall in conjunction with the manufacturer of the cookie as a precautionary measure for our customers. Our current manufacturer has not been impacted by the peanut recall."
If consumers purchased and have possession of any Organic to Go All Natural Peanut Butter Cookies distributed in 2007, they are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-304-4550 between the hours of 5:00 AM and 6:00 PM pacific time, Monday-Friday.

In geology, a crust is the outermost layer of a planet.
The crust of the Earth is composed of a great variety of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
The crust is underlain by the mantle.
The upper part of the mantle is composed mostly of peridotite, a rock denser than rocks common in the overlying crust.
The boundary between the crust and mantle is conventionally placed at the Mohorovicic discontinuity, a boundary defined by a contrast in seismic velocity.
Earth's crust occupies less than 1% of Earth's volume.
The oceanic crust of the Earth is different from its continental crust.
The oceanic crust is 5 km (3 mi) to 10 km (6 mi) thick and is composed primarily of basalt, diabase, and gabbro.
The continental crust is typically from 30 km (20 mi) to 50 km (30 mi) thick, and it is mostly composed of less dense rocks than is the oceanic crust.
Some of these less dense rocks, such as granite, are common in the continental crust but rare to absent in the oceanic crust.
The temperature of the crust increases with depth, reaching values typically in the range from about 500 °C (900 °F) to 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) at the boundary with the underlying mantle.
The crust and underlying relatively rigid mantle make up the lithosphere.
Because of convection in the underlying plastic, although non-molten, upper mantle and asthenosphere, the lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that move.
The common rock constituents of the Earth's crust are nearly all oxides; chlorine, sulfur and fluorine are the only important exceptions to this and their total amount in any rock is usually much less than 1%.
Clarke calculated that a little more than 47% of the Earth's crust consists of oxygen.
It occurs principally in combination as oxides, of which the chief are silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium oxides.
Silica is a major constituent of the crust occurring as the silicate minerals, which are the most common minerals of igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Internet-Dept brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 113 Designs von 47 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Design a logo for an online doubleglazing company
I would like a logo and suitable font / grahichal representation of the company name designed.
The company is a doubleglazing company that has a unique proposition to selling windows, doors and conservatories online.
They don't use salesmen, and show the actual prices of the products online (sounds simple I know but for their industry it's incredible!).
We sell to the entire UK market and plan to grow into the leading online brand.
- Logo designed
- Suitable font / representation of doubleglazingontheweb (to be used with or without the logo)
- tagline: Speed Quality Price (removable)
- Must be high res - suitable for sides of vans / website / press ads / business cards
- Must be capable of changing to black and white (would suggest no more than 3 colours used)
- This is a modern (but not ultra modern) company - logo must reflect this
- Not too tacky
- Not too loud
- Not too worried about having D or G in the logo
- images of windwos / doors / conservatories used
- logos / colours to similar to main competetors (anglian / everest / safestyle / zenith
