In the eye of the beholder
After struggling for ages with what to say and how to say it, really it comes down to this. Disabled people are not supposed to be attractive. We equate looking physically attractive with qualities such as youth, vigour and good health, whereas disabled people are supposed to be tragic unattractive figures. Even better if they drool or lick windows too. We all know where we stand with that.
Of course it's not that simple. What is? Disabled people come in all shapes and sizes just like anyone else, and just like anyone else disabled people cover the whole spectrum of physical beauty. The difference with disability though is how that challenges our innate perceptions and fears.
People are afraid of disability and disease, almost as though some primal instinct to keep us safe from contagion is in operation. Fear breeds prejudice and confirms such negative perceptions by ensuring disability remains something slightly secretive and shameful, kept away from the mainstream where unfamiliarity continues to breed contempt.
Disabled people being physically beautiful challenges all those perceptions and forces us to think about issues we'd perhaps rather not. Instead of comfortably being able to see disabled people as on the margins of society, as less than equal objects of pity, looking at beautiful people who just happen to have disabilities confuses and forces the uncomfortable thought that disability can and does happen to everyone.
Once that thought is placed it's but a short step to many more unpalatable truths. The biggest one being just how far we all have to go before equality is even a tangible concept.

Once again Bendy,well said.
My experiences at a Supermaket near to my mum's on Sat (which I blogged about) illustrates the very point you are making here ( I think anyway). Several times (no word of a lie), People (male and female) commented that I was quote: "too pretty to be" handicapped/crippled,etc. Now as you know I am not ugly, nor am I stunning, but I am fairly good looking. But to me the comments are not a compliment. They are a shock that people still equate disability with being "unattractive" and in this world we live in that I suppose also means that us folks with a disability are also "undesirable" too. Very shallow.
However, I do toil with this subject some. like I blogged, its a reflection of Society: Many people have little or no contact with people with a disability. So they rely on the good/bad images which the media/government etc provide. Of course at least here in the UK people have some perception of disability. I mean, in some Societies healthcare is so poor to 90% of the population that the majority those with Disabilities die very young or else are locked away from view due to stigma which is as debilitating as any physical and many mental symptoms themselves..
On the flipside, am going to blog later about the guy today who asked me out on a date! I had to break it to him that a) Hubby would have to come or b) might not be a good idea.
Thing is, I think it takes us back to this subject though, as he did seem very shocked that I was married..I mean, a Bint in a chair who has pinned a guy down long enough to marry him?? WOW
Hope you are OK? I am in for a long night I reckon, sorry didn't get back to you earlier,will do so tomorrow when Hubby is back at work (long story).
Sorry also for whittering in *your* blog, as well as bloody mine!! :-)
Laters :-)

Hon, if the photographic clues you've provided so far are genuine, then you really DON'T have to worry about whether you're attractive or not...and that is totally unrelated to your disability...quite simply you're beautiful...
More to the point, I genuinely fail to see why any disability should affect in any way the perceived "attraction" to anybody, male, female or whatever...and when all's said and done what the hell do the looks really matter anyway...
I'm in my fifties getting fat, my missus has just reached sixty...we've both seen better times, and they perhaps haven't treated us that kindly...yet to my eyes my missus is ever the beautiful soul she always has been...and she says I'm still the ugly old scrote she married!

Hi BG,
You and your fellow posters may be missing a few fully functioning bits but there's nothing disabled about your brains.
My missus is also as beautiful to me as the day we met. She calls me a grumpy old git. I wonder why?

MsO: Quite right sweetie you've hit the nail on the head there, if we had a pound for every person who's told us we're too pretty to be disabled I reckon we'd be off living the life of luxury somewhere hot!
The psychology behind this does interest me though, just why do we (as humans) equate good health with good looks, and then of course the issues that can raise both positive and negative.
Cogi: Thank you as ever. Yes, the photos are all genuine, and although I probably wouldn't describe myself as beautiful I do know I'm a very attractive woman. This post (and hopefully more to follow) is prompted by the fact that so many people make the too pretty to be disabled comment and I think it's really interesting to think about why that happens.
I think in fairness disability does affect how attractive someone is perceived as being, but that it's got far more to do with the complicating factors that can bring than it does any physical attributes.
I think the way you and your missus describe each other is lovely, sounds like a great marriage to me...more men with your attitude around please! x
Dave: Thank you muchly. Sounds like you've got a wonderful relationship too. Oh and thanks for the link, very interesting, clearly the shop have no idea of the (mainly japanese) toys for men currently flooding the market ;)

Children of Nexus
"Did you know Zess, that in my time, trees were a beautiful green with flowers would bloom in the most vibrant colours. They'd bear fruits and vegetables that would make your pallet dance. It was beautiful in my years Zess, and we had a good share of troubles, but it was happy."
"But grandpa, how could trees be green? They were created by the scientists right? Aren't they just those ugly metal poles all over the place an what were flowers? Why were they all colourful?"
"No no! Those are silly imitations! Trees were once living breathing creatures that were brought to us by Gods caring arms. Thier barks would extend to the heavens, before bursting into thousands of little branches filled with shimmering green emeralds, they'd grow clusters of blue or red jewels, that we would call flowers. They were the trees spirit. They would burst into tiny seeds, from which new trees would grow......but that was some time ago Zess. Maybe that world will come back some day...Zess...
OY! ZESS! Get up, ya lazy bum! Marlow got news! OY! CAN YOU HEAR ME!" Zess rolled on his back, stretched his arms, and opened his blue eyes, to find a pair of green ones staring into his. He screamed as he jumped two feet into the air, and landed up hitting his head on the extremely low ceiling.
"Your eyes creeped the guy out, Tahini!" Marlow stifled his laughter.
"We need a hirer ceiling....." Zess muttered.
"Forget a damn ceiling! I got news! Good news! Great news really! I'd even call it historic!
"Get on with it!" Zess barked irritably as he rubbed his head.
I was...well...walking about_" Tahina interrupted Marlow in mid-sentence.
"He means spying." Tahini gave a nod.
"Now that we have stated the obvious, "Marlow continued, jabbing Tahina out of the way, "Guess what I heard, while I was on my visit."
"What?" Zess asked, crossing his legs.
"There was chaos, and soldiers scrambling, screaming, it was good, so good!" Marlow bobbed up and down in excitement.
"Will you tell me what happened!?" Zess growled.
"Looks like our 'benevolent' Lord Knox's little lab experiments ditched him."
"What do you mean ditched?" Zess looked at him, his eyes widened, and his mouth slightly ajar
"My only question," Tahina looked confusedly at Marlow, "Is why the hell you would call Knox 'benevolent'?
"Sarcasm women!" He yelled back. "You know adds flare_"
"Stop bickering, and tell me what the heck you mean!!" Zess yelled.
"Ok, ok. Don't get so riled up. The kids disabled the alarm and left, scooted, gave him the slip, did the disappearing act, whichever suits your fancy."
"So...they're free, right? They're ok?
"Yup. But they've gone......outside Nexus."
"WHAT ARE THEY SUICIDAL!?" Zess yelled. "There is nothing out there except freak patches of radiation, and dust!" His voice was slightly more at level.
"Is there really anything better here, Zess?" Tahini looked at him gravely.

"To die will be an awfully big adventure."
As I stand here, about to go onto the stage, I am not afraid. Many would be, if they had to act in this grotesque performance. That would be the normal reaction. But I was never normal, and I won't start at my own public execution.
"Saffron – McKellar. Stand – On – The – Stage." A pair of hands roughly pulls me up onto the synthetic platform as my name is called out by the speaker. Nobody makes speeches anymore, like they did in my books, unless it's an incredibly special occasion.
I stand on the plastic and stare at the news screens around the square, where 3D images of me are shown. I don't look particularly special; just a mixed-race teenager with dark corkscrew curls and eyes the colour of dark chocolate. I wear the clothes of judgement – a plain, white, cotton affair, consisting of a t-shirt and loose trousers. My feet are bare, and the only adornments I have are a dog tag with my data engraved on it and a crown of golden roses, which I chose as my one item of colour to wear.
The idea is that The Master of All Things will judge you only on what your soul is like, so you can't bribe him with finery or riches. You choose a colour to represent what you believe in, and you receive an accessory of that colour. Most choose white, grovelling to Him for forgiveness of their sins. The rest usually pick red or black, out of defiance, with the occasional person opting for blue or green in a hope for peace in death. But here I am, peculiar again, choosing yellow – the colour of hope – to wear as I die, slowly and painfully.
You may not consider it fair to execute 14 year-olds in your time, but society is strict about reading fiction in 2649. Apart from the Librumelior, our holy book, there are no other books with stories in them. The politicians decided that reading fiction gave the general public too much freewill. People are taught to read, sure, but reading facts off of screens is the only reading they do.
My parents, when they were still alive, were high up on the social ladder, and rich, enough to not be bothered by anyone. They home-schooled me, tutoring me themselves, and I learned of what it must be like for you – for reading to be a pleasure, a necessity. For there to be great buildings called libraries, which inside held shelves upon shelves of books, meticulously ordered by the names of their authors or the topics they covered. That's why I ended up here – I built my own library.
It was an old warehouse, the one I had lived in since the "accidental" fire that destroyed everything I knew. I was 12 when it happened, and it took another year for the idea of going back to the ashes, to rescue my parents' collection of books, to occur. Since they had been in the vaults they suffered no damage, just smelled a little smoky, so I began to lend them to close friends. Word got round, and my secret library was established.
But it's all gone now, because of a traitor, and it's my time. I gaze up to the gunmetal sky and hope my parents are proud. As the syringe penetrates my light-brown skin, I manage to get out my last words before the drug sets fire to my blood, tortures me, kills me. They are whispered, and are from my favourite book, Peter Pan.
"To die will be an awfully big adventure."

About this Business
From Our Editors
They've got 22 televisions. 22 barstools. The Catch 22 owners' penchant for the number 22 nearly rivals their enthusiasm for all things sports. Nearly. Despite its posh decor—exposed brick walls, loft-style beams, and gleaming wood floors—the downtown space is a sports bar through and through. There's "not a bad seat in the house," even the men's bathroom has a TV, and even that TV has a TV. Revelers with tickets to a game can often grab a free shuttle to a local stadium or arena. Those who stay to watch the match munch a new menu of traditional bar fare with a modern twist, such as hand-cut sweet-potato fries with curry and basil dip, or a burger slider topped with gorgonzola, creole sauce, and caramelized onions. At the full bar that stocks a dozen on-tap brews, 25+ bottled beers, premium liquors, and memory-scrambling "bombs", patrons wash down savory dinners or toast half-court double plays.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Earlier this season, Travis Lewis didn't know if he would ever learn the intricacies of Oklahoma's defense.
Understand that Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables' concepts are sometimes difficult to comprehend for even the most seasoned of veteran players. So some growing pains were to be expected for a redshirt freshman like Lewis who had seldom played the position before coming to college.
But when injuries and the struggles of others contributed to Lewis moving forward on the depth chart, he still burned with fury because he thought he hadn't won the starting job because of his play.
"Things contributed to me starting ... it wasn't me being the best option," Lewis said. "But I wouldn't have it any other way. Going through that taught me how to play with a chip on my shoulder.
"I still treat every day like I'm third on the depth chart. I think about it every day when I wake up and every day before I go to practice."
That rage has fueled a remarkable debut season for Lewis, who has developed into the most productive freshman linebacker in Oklahoma history despite his lack of playing experience at the position.
"He came from out of nowhere," Venables said. "Travis has been able to overcome his lack of experience and technique and fundamentals because he plays so incredibly hard. He's been able to cover up his mistakes because of that."
The Sooners' program has been dotted by playmaking linebackers during the era that Venables has served as the Sooners' linebackers coach and defensive coordinator. Playmakers like Rocky Calmus, Teddy Lehman, Curtis Lofton and Rufus Alexander all have turned the position into one of the biggest strengths throughout the Bob Stoops era.
But none of them has had as quick a start as Lewis, who was a consensus All-Big 12 player and was named defensive newcomer of the year by the Associated Press and the league's coaches.
Amazingly, Lewis likely wouldn't have received his opportunity if it hadn't been for a freak injury several days into Oklahoma's preseason work this summer.
Early in training camp, starting weakside linebacker Austin Box slipped during non-contact drills and injured his knee. Junior college transfer Mike Balogun took over the position for several weeks, but was yanked from the lineup the week before the Sooners' opener against Tennessee-Chattanooga because he was having trouble keeping up with some of the assignments.
That led Venables to start Lewis for a simple reason.
"He was the one who was less lost out there," Venables said. "I guess he was the lesser of any evils."
It also didn't hurt that the 6-foot-1, 232-pound Lewis possesses freakish 4.34 speed in the 40-yard dash -- a remarkable time for a linebacker.
Before coming to Oklahoma, Lewis had never played linebacker in his football career. He was more widely known as a running back at Robert E. Lee High School in San Antonio, where he rushed for 1,436 yards as a senior.
"It wasn't like he had this pedigree coming into the thing," Venables said. "Travis played better than any other freshman linebacker we've ever had and we've had to ask more of Travis than anybody else. We had to ask him to learn not just to think for himself but also for everybody else."
The demands on him intensified when starting middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds tore an ACL against Texas in the fifth game of the season. That left Lewis, only a few weeks removed from struggling with his own early jitters, to now calling assignments as he recognized
offensive formations and relayed the calls to his more-experienced teammates.
"We missed Ryan because he was so assignment good," Venables said. "It was a lot to ask of Travis, but he stepped up and played just like we would have hoped."
Lewis finished with a season-best 19 tackles in the game where Reynolds was injured. And he continued his performance as the season continued, breaking Brian Bosworth's school record for freshman tackles as he finished the season with 137.
But his development as a leader has been even more remarkable. The initially reticent Lewis has become actively involved in making Oklahoma's defensive calls.
"He's put a lot of stuff on his shoulders," Venables said. "We've never had a freshman do the things he's had to do mentally. And he's done pretty well at it, too."
Lewis' role in the defense will be particularly big Thursday night as the Sooners attempt to contain Florida's run-heavy offense keyed by quarterback Tim Tebow.
The Gators like to use option elements with Tebow as the primary ball carrier. It will pose a big challenge for Lewis and an Oklahoma defense that has been the butt of jokes from some Gators earlier this week.
But the same freshman who wondered if he would ever play earlier this season is relishing his opportunity to challenge the bullish 240-pound Tebow in space in the biggest game this season.
In the process, Lewis hopes his team will be able to claim some respect despite some uneven performances this season. The Sooners allowed more than 400 yards per game to Big 12 opponents, but led the nation in turnover margin and ranked third nationally in sacks.
"Tebow's a pretty big guy and he's really an athletic quarterback," Lewis said. "He has the ability to find holes and get between the tackles. I'm looking forward to the challenge. And I guarantee I'm going to bring the hammer when I face him."

Driving Down This Haunted Nebraska Road Will Give You Nightmares
We have a lot of ghost stories here in Nebraska. They range from the sadly tragic to the utterly bizarre. The story of Seven Sisters Road in Nebraska City falls somewhere between the two. Although parts of the legend have been lost, added to, and embellished over the years, the basic story has remained the same for generations.
No matter what your experiences have been on Seven Sisters Road, this macabre tale is one that will endure. Has anything spooky or unexplainable happened to you while driving this road? Tell us your haunted tale in the comments!

It's make or break time for the Three Lions, with nothing less than a victory required for automatic qualification for next year's World Cup in Brazil.
Their Polish opponents will not roll over easily though with over 18,000 away fans set to roar them on, and minds will certainly cast back to 1973, when a heroic performance from goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski stopped England from qualifying for the 1974 World Cup.
England v Poland: Follow the latest news and score with our LIVE BLOG
However, England go into the match full of confidence after a vibrant performance against Montenegro, with debutant Andros Townsend putting in a fantastic display. England will hope for much of the same, and will need to keep a beady eye on Polish talisman Robert Lewandowski if they are to progress.
Kick off: Tuesday, 8pm.
Past meetings:
Poland 1 England 1, World Cup Qualifier, October 2012
England 2 Poland 1, World Cup Qualifier, October 2005
Poland 1 England 2, World Cup Qualifier, September 2004
Poland 0 England 0, European Championship Qualifier, September 1999
England 3 Poland 1, European Championship Qualifier, March 1999
There have been 17 different goal scorers during Roy Hodgson's reign as England manager so far, with Wayne Rooney topping the table with 9 goals.
Tottenham Hotspur star Andros Townsend has been on loan nine times since he's been at White Hart Lane, before breaking into the Spurs first team this season.
Wayne Rooney requires only 12 more goals to equal Bobby Charlton's England record, after his goal against Montenegro on Friday.
England and Poland have met 18 times before, with England winning 10 of those matches and Poland only winning the once.
England to win: 1.25
Poland to win: 16
Draw: 6.8
TV: Live on ITV 1 at 8pm, highlights on ITV at 11pm.

Asha: Turning the Tide
We were outnumbered, but Jay and I still fought to get to Harmony, we had felled about 30 or so Hunters between us but there were more coming to defend their prize the whole time, and we were both getting injured more and more. I could hear Kyshiro's sword clashing with another's I could hear a hsh spreading around the fight, but where we were, the fight became harder. I felt something slip past my guard and I gapsed as the bite of blessed steel caught my side.
"They're using holy weapons Jay!" I yelled, hoping he would hear, and that he wouldn't get caught out the same way. I didn't know how it affected other vampires but I didn't want to find out the hard way.
I group of about six Hunters surrounded me. They could see that I was badly hurt, and their dogs growled, straining at their leashes. I struggled to catch my breath, How did they know about the weapons? Its like they had prepared for me, as the Shadow. They couldn't suspect me...?
My thoughts were cut short as the Hunters let off their dogs together. For a moment I was drowned in the dogs, and the Hunters joined the fight too. I got another poisonous cut in my shoulder this time, and my arm went dead. This is it...drowned by dogs and burned under Hunters. I took as many as I could down, trying to fight my way to Jay, but over the snarls and shouts, I couldn't hear him, and I couldn't sense anyone else.
I felt my vision going darker as I cut down another Hunter. Suddenly, light burst through the pile to me. The Hunters fell away. I got up from my knees, where I had been forced down, and saw Jay and Kyshiro standing there.
"I thought I wasn't going to make it in time." Jay said quietly. "I had so many on top of me, I thought they would get me, but Kyoshiro pulled them off me... there were so many more of them on you though.. I thought I was too late..." He trailed off, as I hugged him hard, my shoulder and side throbbed viciously but I didn't care.
He returned my hug. Kyoshiro broke in "There ar more Hunters coming this way, so if you two don't mind...?"
I could feel the black of my top clinging to me with blood, a lot of it my own, but I turned to face Kyoshiro, who nodded over to my left. Aria, Sylvester, Cheshire and Sara all came through the trees behind us. I smiled at them before dispatching the last group, with some help from Harmony, who Kyoshiro had freed.
When we had finished Kyoshiro then informed us of more Hunters coming.I swallowed hard, noticeing that Sylvester had long gashes in his arm and Jay was limping slightly. "We couldn't manage another onslaught like that. " I said, quietly "I can see that Jay and Sylvester are injured, and I'm sure some of us need rest." I avoided looking at anyone in the eye, not wanting to reveal that I was also injured, despite the fact my shirt was now soaked in blood. The holy weapons had gone deep. "We need to rest before anything else.. because otherwise they'll slaughter us."
Everyone, even Kyoshiro looked uncomfortable at that. I knew I was beign blunt but this was our survival at the end of the day. Pretty words wouldn't protect you.
"Lets get back to the Mansion, and at sunup, we can decide what to do"

More movement towards positivity? Let's play a little game of 'You know you are making it big in this world when..'
1. Saturday Night Live puts you in one of their skits! And even in the same scene as Robbert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. As a Christmas ornament, Mary.. Oh dear.
2. Your hairstyle is getting recognition of its own and runs in a contest for replacing Puck's (from Glee) current hair-do! 'The Lambert', lol.
3. You get a (for most people outside of Japan) incomprehensible shout out in a Japanese newspaper! Feel free to try Babelfish if you want to know what exactly they wrote but as far as I decipered it was positive.
4. Random Chinese tv shows throw their random Chinese boybands at your feet only so you can give them some of your advice.. even though they obviously don't really understand him.
5. The Chipmunks take on some of your songs and completely make them their own (as in, completely transform them):
6. Eminem gives you a shout-out in one of the songs (Elevator) of his upcoming album: "Sorry Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain't gonna make it. They get so mad, when I call them both fake it's!" Good thing Adam himself realizes that this means he has kind of made it.
7. Once you mention that a certain song is a favorite of yours, all comments on the video on youtube have something to do with you..
More thoughts? What other things clue us in on Adam's success? 😀

Broader indexes were mostly treading water Monday afternoon, but blue chips continued to outshine.
Lifted by Intel (INTC), Boeing (BA) and IBM (IBM), the Dow Jones industrial average rallied 0.5%. The Nasdaq edged up 0.1% while the S&P 500 was fractionally higher. Volume was tracking sharply lower across the board in the stock market today. Friday's turnover was boosted by the expiration of options and futures contracts.
Among leading stocks, Facebook (FB) rose 2% to an all-time high in fast trade. The IBD 50 stock cleared an 81.26 buy point from a first-stage flat base. Facebook reset its base count in October after breaching the low of a prior base.
WageWorks (WAGE) was still up more than 2% after paring gains. Earlier, the stock cleared a 62.34 buy point from a flat base. It can also be viewed as a giant cup-with-handle pattern with the same buy point. Last month, the provider of health and other employee benefits reported a 33% jump in Q3 earnings and a 27% gain in sales. Both were the best in several quarters.
On the downside, Gilead Sciences (GILD) came slightly off its session low, but was still off by 13%. Shares slumped 15% at Monday's low on news that Express Scripts (ESRX) will drop coverage of its hepatitis C drugs in favor of a new treatment from AbbVie (ABBV). Shares of AbbVie were down 1% after reversing early gains.
Other biotechs Celgene (CELG) and Biogen Idec (BIIB) were off their session lows, but still down 3% each.

Paws off: professor calls for awareness, protection of snow leopards
Illustration by Natalie Riess | Art Director
All eyes will be on Sochi, Russia as the 2014 Winter Olympics begin Feb. 7, but a SUNY-ESF professor is hoping it will bring more attention to an endangered species, which is the mascot of the games.
"The snow leopard was chosen because of its mystique in terms of what it represents to us – strength, stealth, endurance, and beauty – all important attributes for success in the winter Olympics," said Dr. James Gibbs, an environmental and forest biology professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, in an email.
The animal is extremely fast and agile but is now restricted to the tallest mountains in Russia, Gibbs said in a Public Radio International interview. It has been pushed to the tops of treeless, barren areas where it can't find prey to eat, he added.
Only about 40 snow leopards remain in Russia, Gibbs said, adding that Russia once hosted a large portion of the species' range. Gibbs said he is hopeful that the remaining Russian snow leopards can be saved with enough effort and perseverance.
"There's a heavy Chinese appetite for snow leopard pelts and trophy consumptive use," said James Arrigoni, one of Gibbs' graduate students, who recently studied the snow leopards' prey in the Altai Republic.
Arrigoni said Argali lambs make up part of the snow leopard's diet, but the lambs are being hunted in Russia, causing a ripple effect in the ecosystem and killing off the snow leopards. This problem has become more acute lately as globalization increases, but people have been herding livestock into the snow leopard's range for "as long as anyone knows," he added.
But the laws in Russia are not helping the situation. In certain areas of Russia, Arrigoni said, herders can pay about $50,000 to hunt snow leopards.
"There have been some changes in federal legislation to increase the control on poaching and wildlife trade," said Mikhail Paltsyn, another student of Gibbs', who works collaboratively with the World Wildlife Fund in Russia and the Roosevelt Wildlife Station at ESF.
Paltsyn, a Russian citizen, said Russian legislation made an important amendment to enforce control of illegal snow leopard trading, but it still needs improvement. He added that government control in Russia is so weak that local people can still poach without facing repercussions by the government.
Paltsyn said he is hopeful that the Sochi Olympics can raise awareness of the endangered species. Increasing awareness of snow leopard endangerment in Russian communities is crucial, he added.
Paltsyn said people often know very little about snow leopards, but that the Olympics could highlight the economic interest of conserving the species. The economic interest can then bring tourism and special programs for local people, who can perhaps help the populations of snow leopards instead of poaching them, he said.
In the PRI interview, Gibbs said he hopes the Olympics will raise awareness of the endangered species, adding that it will take a lot of effort to bring enough attention to create change.
"Perhaps there will be a rise in giving to the wildlife conservation groups that are pushing ahead snow leopard conservation throughout the species range where central governments do so little," Gibbs said in the email. "We need to stop snare poaching, protect the species snow leopards need for food and help the very poor people who live amongst snow leopards and sometimes bear the costs of doing so in terms of lost livestock."
Arrigoni, however, said he is wary of the ability of large events to promote conservation. He said he does not believe there will be a flood of funds into snow leopard conservation. Wildlife, such as the snow leopard, look great as a symbol or motif for an event, he said, but it is rare that people actually make that next step toward conservation.
Said Arrigoni: "It's nice anytime you have public awareness or recognition of nature and conservation, but what difference will it actually make?"

Open the Door and Confront the Old ManMature
You make your way to the door, ignoring the fact that you don't have any pants on and haven't showered for days. Wading through a sea of empty beer cans and Mountain Dew bottles, you reach the door, fumble open the lock, and yank open the door.
"So you finally decided to man up eh, you pants-less, dirty hobo?! Well-"
Seething with a rage only felt by those who have spent the past week watching nothing but day-time television, you punch the old man square in the jaw. He staggers backwards, but regains his balance and lunges at you. He wraps his hands weakly around your aptly-described scrawny neck and tries to throttle you to death. Clumsily throwing out your arms, you pummel him with your fists. He falls to the floor under your torrent of blows, crumbling into a bloody, wrinkly pile of beat-up old man.
People in the neighboring rooms, hearing the commotion, flood into the hallway and gasp at what you've done. Several are shouting something at you, probably profanity, but your blood-curdling war cry is too overpowering to hear them clearly.
The confidence in your new-found fighting capabilities bolstered by your victory over a frail old man, you confront the nearest of your hecklers, prepared for a no-holds-barred fight to the death. You smear your face with the blood from your dripping fists and try to rip open your shirt, succeeding only in stretching the collar. Damn, you now look like an idiot.
You lock your eyes onto those of your heckler, who is...

Corsair Carbide 400R review -
Product Showcase
On top we see a huge mesh. Great ventilation, the top mesh can be used for a radiator as there is room for a full 240mm radiator. Obviously you can go nuts with other fans here as well as installing a LCS (liquid cooling system) radiator. A dual 120mm radiator would be a breeze to install for sure.
Handy by the way, all the way at the back of the photo is a grip (hard to see), you can lift and move arround the chassis really easy.
At the front side at the top we see the power on switch and LED (white). Connectors wise you'll have plenty of them including USB 3.0 x2, MIC/Headphones, a Firewire connector. To the right we see a reset switch but also an on/off switch for lights inside the chassis (the fans glow in white, and you can turn their LEDs off by pressing a button located on the top part of the front panel). Below it all this you'll spot the 5.25" drive bays, (x4) 5.25.
Here we have the right side panel (behind the back of the motherboards. Look at the indentation, there's plenty of room there for cable management.
Internals then, since the photos are dark, bare with me. First impression, that's just a lot of room to work in for a mid sized tower alright. The second thought would be the all black design, including cables and connectors. Even the grommet holes have black rubber inlays to hide cabling, yes, cable management is a primary feature of the chassis. You can make it all really clean and tidy.
We can also see the gaps in the motherboard tray with the rubber inlays here a tad better (grommet holes), here you can route your cabling through, and the rubber inlays keep things clean and tidy looking.

Comments about Najarian Cosmo Counter-Height Table and 6 Chairs - Merlot:
This table is very stylish and the perfect size to my open concept dining area. After reading a lot of reviews of American Signature Furniture's item I was a little skeptical of making this purchase…but I am glad I did!!! I do not have an "eat-in kitchen" so this is the main eating/homework/bill paying area for my son and I. I purchased this table in Oct. 2014 and writing this review in June 2015. As of right now my only issue or warning is the stain on the wood easily transfers (easily cleaned up with magic erasers) to the wall so please allow adequate space when planning where you are going to put it.

Value city has stylish furniture,although poorly made. When I purchases my furniture and had it delivered it had scratches and scuff marks on it.

In many markets, 2014's Local Leaderstbvxwqvqdqrqdrafwyrvtdqcrzqtbbcdf probably played to the upper levels of the home buying public as demand surged in the move-up and active adult categories. And, looking at 12 key U.S. metros, that probably will be the case in many markets again in 2015.
Take the ultra-expensive San Francisco market. After seeing less than 200 homes close above $500,000 over the six-month period running from October to March in both 2012–2013 and 2013–2014, home closings in that category jumped to 261 in 2014–2015. The story is the same in Miami, where above $500,000 closings jumped from 60 to 147 to 456 from the October to March period over the past three years. In both Miami and San Francisco, the $250,000 to $499,000 levels were squeezed.
But in other places, that level stayed strong, as homes under $250,000 saw sales slow. Under $250,000 new-home sales in 2014 fell to 44 in Chicago, 21 in Philadelphia, and a measly eight in the pricey Washington, D.C.tbvxwqvqdqrqdrafwyrvtdqcrzqtbbcdf, market. High-rise condos, once thought of as entry-level housing, are coming online in Washington, but those are hardly affordable to the entry-level buyer. "Generally, builders have been more successful with the move-up and higher-end market," says Ben Sage, director of Metrostudy's Mid-Atlantic region, who says new home prices in the market are about where they were in the mid 2000s (which is mainly because builders aren't producing homes for the first-time buyer).
In the expensive San Diego market, the $250,000 to $499,000 range grew slightly this year, after falling off. "In addition to mid-higher end new products being delivered, there is also townhome-sized product that is moving into the market to help fill supply at lower end of price spectrum.," says Dennis Handler, director of Metrostudy's San Diego market.
In a few markets, like Austin and Atlanta (which still has finished lots available from the previous cycle) markets, new homes of less than $250,000 have grown so far this year, indicating that builders that hit that point of the market can gain more share in 2015.
While opportunity may exist for builders of lower-priced new homes in many parts of the country, Atlanta looks to be a hot spot. From October 2014 to March 2015, builders producing homes below $250,000 in Atlanta saw sales jump to 388 after hitting 305 the year before and 168 two years ago.
"Consumer confidence and jobs are increasing enough where now you're going to start seeing more building taking place in the exurban portions of metro Atlanta," says Eugene James, Metrostudy's Atlanta regional director. "Once you get further out you can build at a lower price point."
Who will be the big movers in 2015? In most markets, it will be builders at the $250,000 to $499,999 level. It's easy to see that this is the tier of homes that dominated sales in new community openings in 12 major metropolitan areas from October through March over the past three years. From October 2014 to March 2015, the middle tier (or lower tier in some markets) continued to experience growth, but as you can see in the map with each metro, sales for new community openings were geographically dispersed.

Labor has made the right decision by refusing to help dismantle its own credible scheme to reduce carbon emissions in favour of a scheme that, in its current form, is not credible at all.
It is the right decision on policy grounds. The Coalition has managed pretty successfully so far to present its own climate policy as the political version of a free lunch – a pain-free, easy solution with some nice wholesome tree-planting on the side.
But in government it will actually have to show how Direct Action can deliver emissions reductions, how much it will cost and how the policy can work in the long term, given that Australia's greenhouse gas reduction obligations aren't just going to stop in 2020 when Direct Action does.
All the independent modelling and analysis says Direct Action will struggle to reach even Australia's current 5% emissions reduction target for 2020. The Climate Change Authority report on Tuesday told the government it was certainly going to have to cut much deeper than 5%.
It should have been a wake-up call for the Coalition. But that wasn't the message the environment minister, Greg Hunt ,was getting. Nope, he went straight to P107 of the modelling to discover that "it shows a 50% increase in the carbon price" and therefore concluded that the report was a wake up call for "electricity Bill [Shorten]".
Actually the $54 a tonne carbon price was projected for 2030 and the message from the modelling was that if you use carbon pricing and allow the purchase of international carbon permits (which the Coalition insists it won't) you can increase your emissions reduction target for very little extra cost.
By contrast, independent modelling of Direct Action (the Coalition hasn't done any) shows it will cost vastly more than the budgeted $3.2bn by 2020, and that the costs for deeper cuts out to 2030 were too enormous to properly model.
By actually standing and fighting for a credible climate policy, Labor may just be able to focus attention on the fact that a $54 a tonne carbon price in 2030 pales in comparison to the drain on the budget if Direct Action was trying to do the same job – an argument Malcolm Turnbull has regularly made.
And even by the benchmark of most political commentary on the issue – politically expedient calculations about how the decision to oppose the carbon tax repeal will play in the electorate – Labor's decision could turn out to be the right one in the longer term.
Having lost so much fighting for a credible climate policy Labor really would stand for nothing if it abandoned it now.
And while Greg Hunt may be able to impose elements of Direct Action in budget bills – which won't be blocked by the Senate – parts of the scheme will require legislation, or regulations which can be disallowed by either house.
And the mottley crew that will hold the balance of power in the Senate after next July will want a lot of concessions to be persuaded not to disallow them – the kind of concessions and deals with minor parties that Tony Abbott swore he'd never do and the kind of messy pragmatic politics he assured voters was all in the past.
And if that negotiation drags on too long, if a double dissolution election really was in the offing, if all the complications of a continuing carbon price start to come into play and if the long-term uncertainties of Direct Action become clearer – it's just possible that Labor's alternative plan – to just start the lower floating carbon price from next July, might start to look more attractive to some of those business groups currently holding out for the Direct Action free lunch that appears so attractive right now.
