Intersectionality(63 Posts)
I'm looking for help to get my ideas straight on this. I am really not a fan of intersectionality. I agree that feminism alone cannot/did not provide an analysis for all oppression's or all women's experiances. However, I don't think an attempt to broaden feminism to encompass all things is the way forward. Far better to situate feminism within a broader political analysis; eg: socialism.
Apparently, I only think this because I'm white and have been challenged to find one black feminist theorist who would agree with me.
Can anyone help me out here. I'm willing to revise my opinions if it turns out I'm in the wrong
Freya - you are being deliberately obtuse and seem to have little understanding of how whiteness plays out in society.
Do you honestly think a show featuring four black women or women who cannot pass for white would have received the same publicity as Girls? Can you even name any shows with that sort of cast?
Did you miss the racist backlash to the Hunger Games having a black character? Or the racism dished out when Awkward Black Girl won a webby - no book deal or tv series for her, mind.
Lets be clear, this show is on a big network, had huge publicity, Lena Dunham has received a big money book deal, she is not some little victim being "hounded" by the mean WoC, who are only picking on her and have nothing else to say ever about other issues of racial representation (also love your assumption that WoC are not ever LGBT or disabled, so are silent on those issues too.)
I really resent the accusations of anti-semitism you're using here. The critiques I've linked are valid and heartfelt, for you to assign ulterior motives to them is underhand as best, and deliberately undermining at worst.
Upthread KRITQ mentioned Flavia Dzordan, a writer who has written so well about race and intersectionality in particular. The Vagenda recently did a spectacularly patronising piece about intersectionality where they not only mocked Dzordan's words, but failed to give her any credit for them. Can you guess who has got the six figure book deal and who hasn't?
You seem to think you know the answers already, without listening to what WoC have to say and you are still using the classic derailing tactic of "Why don't you care about x,y and z too?" - again this is what men do to feminists. Why are you doing this to women over race issues?
GoshAnne. To address your main points:
1. The main racist issue around the hunger games is not the inclusion of the black character, but that the main character, Katniss, is a POC in the books but is now being portrayed as a white character in the moviesand then often appears in a white saviour role.
2. I made no suggestion that women of color could not be LGBT or disabled. I mentioned how a member of a white ally group was the main perpetrator of antisemitism graffiti at Lena Dunham's former college. I then followed this up by saying people who claim to be intersectional over one issue but not another (in this case a white man who was opposed to racism against POC but was happy to write antisemitism slurs and threats on walls) to show how antisemitism was a problem in social justice circles. I gave LGBT and disabled people but I did not suggest the people ignoring those issues were WOC.
3. I am not suggesting WOC have ulterior motives. Antisemitism is often institutional and ignoring Jewish ethnicity is a symptom of this. It doesn't have to be due to conscious actions or an ulterior motive.
4. I a not derailing. Firstly, because this is a thread about intersectionality in general, not the specific intersection of race and sex. Secondly, if you want to talk about the many examples of problems of poor media representation of POC I am happy to discuss that as long as it isn't how a group of women who just happen to be Jewish are the problem. I am sure that between the people on this thread, one of us can link to an article about this which isn't about Lena Dunham. If not, I suggest discussion of the pilot of Twenties (as I already mentioned).
5. Lena Dunham has a book deal. How does that make the social justice warriors (usually white) constantly hating her less antisemitic? Obama is president of the USA. People still make racist comments about him and attack him for racist reasons.
6. The issue of the relationship between whiteness and Jewishness is complex and distressing. There's lots of discussion by Jewish people on the Internet. I would feel uncomfortable trying to defend such a sensitive topic here.
I still don't yet how being Jewish gives you a magical pass to erase 2/3 of the people in the location where the show is meant to be set.
I live somewhere equally diverse. If someone where to set a tv show here and pretend the population were entirely white, I would find that an extremely creepy whitewashing of reality.
You have no proof that the "social justice warriors" are mainly white. None, so stop stating it as if it were a fact that in any way lessens the value of what WoC say.
Again, look at the tools you are using to bolster your argument. Those "attacking" (a violent verb) Lena Dunham are "angry", they are "warriors" they "hate", they are "hounding" her. You don't describe their criticisms as in any way positive, valid or rational.
I ask you again, where do you see these tropes being used? Also, are you not familiar with the racist stereotype of the Angry Black Woman?
Lena Dunham gets mentioned because Lena Dunham is one of the many occasions that the mainstream voices of feminism (who are generally white, middle class ect) have dismissed the voices of WoC and claimed that critiques from WoC were destructive and "not helpful" for feminism. It is an absolute primer as to how feminism fails at intersectionality.
I haven't watched Girls as I don't think it is something that would interest me. I am assuming only from what other's have said that the Jewish identity of the characters is explicit. I don't know but surely it could be argued that their experiences in a rich western city is quite different to the experience of a Jewish housewife in north london and certainly quite different from the lives of black Jewish women in Nigeria such as the Igbo. Of course it is ridiculous to think that every conceivable difference can be represented equally.
I can't speak for all Jews but from my experience and reading, Jewish people carry within them a whole history of oppression. The history of having been enslaved, the expulsions, ghettoisation and mass killings might possibly explain why Jews still feel marginalised if not damn right disliked. Claims that the media is controlled from films to newspapers by rich Zionists, to conspiracies about bankrupting states and starting wars and poisoning wells. Just about everything that is wrong in the world seems to be due to some Jewish conspiracy or simply because the state of Israel destabilises the middle east. If the western imperialist notion of people of colour is that they are uneducated and their lands undeveloped then jews are portrayed in an equally unpleasant and false way. From having large ears, big noses, being labelled baby eaters and rapists
Know, dear Christian, and have no doubts about it, that next to the Devil you have no more bitter, poisonous and determined enemy than a genuine Jew" Hitler. And the catholic church held much the same view throughout its entire history. Show me another race of people who have been so systematically hated, alienated, enslaved and murdered.
If intersectional theory can be used to explain more than just the intersection where gender and skin colour produce a very specific form of oppression then surely it could also be applied to a multitude of other identifiable differences. Surely it could be applied to the very specific forms of disadvantage that "white" Jewish women feel they face because being Jewish can be about race or religion. I'm not in anyway trying to reduce the very real disadvantage that WOC face but I do wonder whether some of them are able to accept that not all white women are experiencing only gender oppression?
However my real problem with accepting Intersectional theory as having to be central in any feminist discourse or activity is
A) what specific form does the oppression manifest in each conceivable combination of identities?
B) Does this theory offer any useful insights into how we end all of these various manifestations of inequality?
I don't think we know the answer to A at a cultural level but I can make a fair estimation of the social/economic impact but I feel fairly certain the answer to B is no.
GoshAnne, it is a widely discussed issue online that the group of people who are called 'social justice warriors' are largely a group of white people who do gather together to attack individuals, often selecting individuals who are from a minority group.
There has been a lot of discussion among activists who are POC about how misplaced this anger is when the white social justice people are not actually experiencing the racism themselves and that such anger is misplaced, as it is actual POC who genuinely have those experiences.
As a consequence of this, various POC have posted about the issue of this anger from white people in social justice, how problematic the hounding is and have suggested more appropriate ways white people could respond.
I have not made these issues up.
You're still dodging the issue - that those who criticised Girls had a valid point to make. Again complaining about "Social Justice Warriors" (a quick google of which brings up complaints by the sorts of people who complain whenever race is discussed, ever) is another way of dismissing criticism.
How many times have you heard "It's not what feminists say, it's how they say it". This is all you're doing here.
You still haven't truly engaged with what the WoC have said. You've accused them of anti-semitism, had issues with tone, being fixated with Lena Dunham and then talked endlessly about the actions of white people instead.
As I've said, I'm not prepared to engage in discussion that singles out links criticising 'Girls' for all the reasons I've already given. Perhaps somebody else wants to discuss that with you.
In terms of the problem of white social justice warriors, there have been numerous studies on this. For some reason I can't paste the link, but if anyone wants to read a literature review and paper on why white allies end up engaging in destructive papers, it is called 'Aspiring social justice ally identity development' and if you google that a link to the PDF should be on the first page of results. Part of the issue I'm talking about would be:
'One means of managing guilt is to seek the role of rescuer or hero
for members of the subordinate group. Aspiring Allies for Altruism see
members of the subordinate group as the sole victims of oppression
and do this work for them. The paternalistic nature of this altruism
may lead to positive gains in the short term, but ultimately perpetu-
ates the system of oppression by placing aspiring allies in the role of
exceptional helper to the victims of oppression. This paternalistic
approach may also unconsciously feed ones own sense of power and
privilege. Aspiring Allies for Altruism seek to empower members of
the oppressed group, which maintains credit and some control in the
person doing the empowering, rather than encouraging and support-
ing members of the oppressed group to empower themselves. This
may be part of a spiritual or moral view that helping others is the right
thing to do. Freire (1972/2000) explains that rationalizing guilt
through paternalistic treatment of the oppressed, all the while holding
them first in a position of dependence, will not do (p. 49). In this
way, Aspiring Allies for Altruism fail to recognize that one must speak
withthe oppressed without speaking forthe oppressed (Reason et al.,
2005a, p. 1).
Burnout in Aspiring Allies for Altruism is common because of the
energy needed to maintain their status as an exceptional member of
the dominant group, denying to both self and others their own
oppressive socialization, and a need for continued acceptance from
the other. Because these aspiring allies do not see how members of the
dominant group are also hurt by the system of oppression, aspiring
allies view their efforts as selfless and altruistic efforts that should be
welcomed with praise and approval from the subordinate group. In
this way, aspiring allies guilt can become a liability, as members of the
oppressed group are often sought out to reaffirm and support the
aspiring allies, once again placing the burden of oppression on mem-
bers of the subordinate group.'
This reminds me of research I read years ago about the paternalistic relationship of psychiatric nurses to their clients. The idea that the helper should gain something from maintaining and even abusing their position of power and trust is not new.
Freya, I just want to acknowledge your question. I think the conversation's moved beyond it.
Mini - I'm not sure the answer to B is no! Feminism has lots of image problems, quite likely impeding its progress by failing to get a large enough cohort of women on board. If feminists (generic) had more of a clue about how the problems associated with "being a woman" intersect with those of "being old, being brown, being poor," etc, then perhaps the movement would not alienate other women so readily. And perhaps some of the inequalities would be ended more efficiently.
I do think it's ridiculous to assert that only the victims of a certain oppression may act against it. Sure, there are valid arguments wrt patronisation & other issues, but it's a bit bloody harsh to insist that only the silenced may speak.
And, fwiw, my first thought on seeing a Girls trailer was "Is this supposed to be Brooklyn? It's too white!" I haven't watched it. The criticism is valid. Ugly Betty managed to portray a culturally mixed New York, while storming the charts. Plus ... New York Jewish is a special thing. It's neither a 'universal' Jewishness, nor 'universally' New York. It is true that many New York Jews assume they epitomise New York. Culturally and statistically, they are wrong.
But I don't understand why this thread has become all about some TV show and Jews
Mini, actually the very next paragraph goes on to say about how workers in the field may well recognise themselves in the description! It is well worth reading for anybody who wants to 'help' anybody they have are actually in a position of social power or dominance over.
Garlic, I don't think it is the case that only people who are victims of a certain oppression can act against it. I think that when you are in a dominant group for any reason you have to think very carefully about why you are doing something about an issue, how you are doing it and consider if you are having a negative impact.
I think the reason that feminists are keen to stress that 'patriarchy hurts men too' is so that they see feminism makes society better for everyone, and by being feminists they are not just doing something for women for altruistic reasons. But once we move to talking about groups we're not personally part of, we have to consider that very differently so as not to 'help' in a destructive way.
I'll have a google later for it. I would like to read it, thanks Freya
Does feminism have more image problems now than at any other time? Whilst vast inequality has opened up btw women incl but not limited to white women and woc (which I believe is essentially a class issue) I'm not certain that we have any more or any less support. We have many women from all backgrounds and circs thinking that women have equality with men so the fight is over or that feminism doesn't have anything to offer them. In the past there was as much of a "backlash" against women's liberation, simply because that backlash is in actual fact the thing we are fighting, the structural social conditions that prevail have many fans that benefit from the status quo and now we have many women that benefit from keeping things just the way thery are. Gains made by one group of women is at the expense of the vast majority of other women when looked at globally.
I think the other problem we have is the obsession with "culture" deconstruction, post modernism and all that nonsense has a lot to answer for. Are we barking at the moon. It seems that some are calling for the sort of state intervention that in previous generations would have never been considered. To me, liberal feminism with its obsession with gaining equality under the state and through law combined with a more radical element that demands censorship is papering over the cracks not addressing the issues.
I'm not sure if this is part of the issue or not, but New York Radical women (later redstockings) came about in 1967 as a response to a few socialist women who felt that men on the left were not listening to their concerns. This gave birth to RF. Now it seems to me that it was both wrong that the left wing men devalued their concerns but equally wrong that women stopped short of making them listen. It is symptomatic of what follows because we now have a situation where we are all sitting in different rooms only sharing experiences with people that are very strictly very much like us. I don't need to have someone validate my experience by having that experience themselves anymore than I need someone to assume the position of speaking for me. What is needed is listening, accepting, questioning and facilitation. Why can't a movement have a range of people with various experiences who have shared goals? <ever the optimist>
Mini, I don't know the answer to that, but I think it's a very good explanation of what the question we all need to ask ourselves is.

MRE, Meals Ready To Eat Dissection
If you spend much time outdoors, either dirt time or family camping, there's a good chance you've had an MRE. Of course the MRE was developed for the US military, but is now available to us civilians and we sell them like hotcakes. MRE's are so great because they have everything you need for food preparedness and more in one little approximately 1.5 pound plastic pouch that can have up to a 10 year shelf life or more. There are generally 6 different complete meals per case (2 of each) and are all brand new. Each case comes with 12 mains (entree's 2 of each), 12 side dishes (applesauce ect.), 12 dessert packs (cookie bar ect.), 12 cracker packs (8 squares each), 12 spreads (jelly ect.), 12 beverage powders, 12 coffees, creamer, sugar, salt, napkin, wet nap and a spoon. There are still many more uses for the various components if you have a little imagination which can be valuable in a survival or other situation. For example, you could use the pouch that it comes in as a water carrier or to gather rain water even.
MREs are great for survival, preparedness, camping, hiking, and all your dirt time because they are easy, durable and have all you need in one little spot.
Yes, I know this isn't strictly dirt time either. However, as opposed to my other sites that are retail sites and have to stay focused that way, this site is my fun site and I do with it what I like. I figured this would be fun and interesting. Plus MRE's are almost always a part of my dirt time.
I decided to do this in depth study/pictorial of our two main MREs because we get a lot of questions. Therefore, I figure there are a lot of people out there that are very curious about MREs. Some MRE questions are; What are MREs?, Whats in an MRE?, How many and what kind of MREs are in a case?, How long do MREs last?, and Why should I buy MREs?. Ill try to answer all these questions and more in the pictures and text below.
Besides showing you a couple different MREs, I will also compare the two in several different ways as well as get some of the people here at JHL Supply to do taste tests and get their feedback.
CampingSurvival.com. It's not about the END OF THE WORLD - It's not about surviving a hypothetical PLANE CRASH - It's about the SATISFACTION YOU GET knowing you can take care of yourself and/or your family in ANY SITUATION, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!

Please note that this course (GEOLB328001) is cross-listed as ARCH B328 and BIOL B328; enrollment is limited to 20 students.
What is a GIS? - It is a software tool that handles geographically distributed data. It is a system for input, storage, manipulation, and output of geographic information. GIS combines software with hardware, data, a user, etc., to solve a problem, support a decision, help to plan. The GIS system used in Geology and taught by ML Crawford is CARIS, a GIS that has a sophisticated geological mapping capability. Geoff Compton uses and teaches ArcGis in GEO 328.
A GIS course in the Geography
Dept. at the
Some aspects inherent in GIS include:
There are two fundamentally different types of GIS software:
- Vector GIS. In vector GIS map features are represented by nodes, arcs and polygons. It is based on vectors (as opposed to space-occupancy raster structures). More details on Vector GIS
- Raster GIS. A map in a raster GIS divides the entire study area into a regular grid of cells in a specific sequence. The data completely fill the space of the map. More details on Raster GIS
Some resources for the GIS user:
Coordinate and datum transformations
Locate places
Some sources of geological data
Other Data sources (Geographers Craft)
GIS internet resources (U.S. Army Geospatial Center)
GIS and remote sensing searchable linkbase (Brian Klinkenberg, University of British Columbia)
Internet Resources for Geographers (Dept.
of Geography, U
GIS links for the USA by state (Doyle's GIS Links Web Page)
Ultimate Directory of Geography Resources (Includes educational resources as well as data and maps)

text: The Associated Press___ Stores try to make holiday shopping cheap and easy NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ This holiday season, Burger King won't be the only place where you can have it your way. It used to be enough for stores to promise discounts of up to 70 percent to lure shoppers during the busy holiday period. But the ease of ordering online and the sluggish economy changed that. Americans are no longer impressed by discounts alone. Now they want their shopping just like their fast food: not only cheap, but convenient too. That means they're no longer afraid to walk away from the cashmere sweater with the perfect fit if the store is crowded. They're unwilling to buy those suede pumps in just the right shade of blue if shipping costs extra. And they cringe at the prospect of carrying around paper coupons; they'd rather pull them up electronically on smartphones. Retailers from Wal-Mart to Macy's are doing everything they can to make it easier for more finicky shoppers to spend during the holidays. Several are opening on Thanksgiving Day. Some are offering free layaway and shipping. Many are matching in-store prices with cheaper online deals. Others are allowing shoppers to buy online and pick up their merchandise in stores. ___ Economy makes for tougher Thanksgiving journeys CHICAGO (AP) â¿¿ Millions of Americans piled their families into cars, hopped on buses and waited out delays at airports Wednesday as they set off on Thanksgiving treks that many said required financial sacrifice, help from relatives to come up with airfare and hours searching online for deals. Accepting that the road out of the recession will be long, many said they've become savvier or at least hardier travelers â¿¿ resilient enough to brave a daylong drive with the kids or a long haul by bus instead of flying. Others adjusted their travel schedules to try to save money, flying on less popular days or to airports that were a bit farther from their destination.

Pacific Jewel 10/10/10 A cruise to remember.: Pacific Jewel Cruise Review by Pinkbutterflygirl
Overall Member Rating
Pacific Jewel 10/10/10 A cruise to remember.
Destination: South Pacific
Embarkation: Other
First thing we did was head up to Turtle Cove kids club to register our 3 yo daughter. Remember to take child's passport and the passport of anyone you authorise to pick them up. They will make copies for you.
Then we went back to the cabin and booked in for Luke Mangan's Salt Grill. You have to book in REALLY early for this.
It was at this point that my husband realised that he had left his suit bag hanging on the door at home! Argh! No formal clothes! Fortunately, we had left plenty of time and his Dad was able to go back to our place to get it and bring it back to the ship. We told the Purser what had More happened and they made special arrangements to get it to us. Thank goodness. Meant we got an awesome shot of his parents from Deck 14! Suit was delivered to our room just before departure. Phew ;)
Muster was held at 3pm. I did overhear a Crew Member saying something rude about passengers to a crewmate. I made a complaint at the pursers desk which I believe was handled very professionally. One of the senior members of the Hotel staff came to see me in my cabin about the incident the next day and assured me it was being investigated. I certainly didn't let one off hand comment I overheard ruin my holiday.
Sail away party was unfortunately short lived due to the weather turning sour almost as soon as we passed through the heads. Unfortunately the seas were rough for the next two days with 8 m swells and winds gusting to 100Kmh. I'd say almost half the passengers were down with seasickness and quite a few staff too. The Ships medical centre was the hot place to be! We had taken Kwells sea sickness tabs, including our almost 4 yo who took 1/4 tablet dose. She and hubby were fine. I was a little green if I got hungry, so kept crackers and green apples handy.
Even though those two days at sea the weather was pretty awful, there was still plenty to do. I took up quilling and hubby went to other activities. Mooch loved the kids club, even though it had to be moved from it's usual home on deck 14.
Luke Mangan was onboard for our cruise, which was a real priviledge. He gave a cooking demonstration on the first day, and we were lucky enough to have booked dinner that night. It was well worth the $30 per person. The wagyu beef was absolutely perfect. And the licorice parfait was delicious. You definately need to book almost as soon as you get on board. And just a tip, if you have little kids, find out when Island Night is as you wont be able to book the kids in kids club from about 6.30-8pm. Unfortunately this meant we had to cancel our second booking. :(
Having a little one we mostly ate at the Buffet on Deck 12. We thought the food here was great. Lots of choices. I wasn't a fan of the scrambled eggs at breakfast, but you could get eggs cooked to order also. My faves were the hash browns at Breakfast, and the braised Lamb Shanks with mash. yumm. One night they even served Roast Duck.
We also ate a few lunches at the Waterfront (a la carte) with our little girl, where we usually had a table just the 3 of us. Hubby and I had a few dinners there too and were always seated with lovely people and shared nice conversation with our fellow passengers. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.
We partook in the music trivia most nights which was lots of fun. We even managed to win one night! We also watched all of the shows, and took our little one to watch too. She loved the Pirate show which was by far the most enjoyable of the cruise, but the circus show was a little scary (even for grown ups!)even thought the elephants were spectacular. The sit down comedy club was good as were the other guest entertainers. The Marriage Game and Liar Liar were hilarious! Zoltina J was in fine form and certainly made our cruise very enjoyable for us.
If you want to see Pacific Circque, it is only on one night... so check your Pacific Daily. Get there about 45 mins + early and get a spot on deck 14 amid ships. DONT get a spot forward, near the spa like I did as the lights will shine in your eyes and you wont be able to see a thing :( The artists did put on short performances in the Atrium later in the cruise, but not the same as outside on the big rig on the deck.
I wont go into great details of the Isle of pines as I am sure there is plenty of information out there already. The only thing I will say is get your tender ticket early, then go to breakfast. We got our ticket at 8.30 am and did not get called to our tender until after 12 noon. We were NOT happy Jan. Still we made the most of our time once we finally did make it to the island.
Lifou was beautiful also. We took the Melanesian Enounters Tour. It was OK, we are glad we did something. Also, by doing a tour, you meet on board and get a priority for the tenders so we got off in plenty of time, thank goodness. The people are really friendly and this was the place to get your hair braided. My advise is to look around and watch the girls and the finished jobs before you choose who to go with. They all charge the same so might as well go with the best job ;)
Noumea: We didnt book any tours through P & O. But we went on the green Tchou Tchou train which we booked at the terminal. It was sooooooo much fun. The locals waved and cheered everywhere we went which was really nice. Defintely would recommend that one! And it cost us less for the 3 of us that way, than for 1 if we had booked through P&O. We didnt get a drink and a pastry at the lookout, but what drink is worth $140???
I put my school girl french to use at the patisserie. Yum, Pain du chocolat! We hit the Duty Free up the hill form the ship and found the Scotch my husband wanted to be awsome value. They took it to the ship and we got it back on the last night before disembarkation.
As most of you probably know, the Jewel encountered problems with her propulsion system and we were advised of this as we arrived back at the ship from Noumea. We were advised they had been working on her all day, she was not fixed, and they would continue to work throughout the night and hopefully we would depart 7am the following morning. This meant we would not make it to Poum/Emerald Bay and to make up for our disappointment, each passenger over 13 was given $50 on board credit.
P&O put on Free buses to Citron Baie that night, which we took advantage of. Wasnt much happening there at night, unless you wanted dinner, but we had already eaten on board. Still it was nice to get out and have a look at Noumea by night.
The next morning the Captain announced we would not be departing until 1pm that day. This meant we would be getting home 1 day late to Sydney. Any passengers who had forward travel arrangements made through P&O didnt have to worry, it would all be taken care of for them. Any other passengers had to change their own arrangements. To expedite this, free calls to shore and free internet was put on. Also claim forms were delivered to each cabin setting out that P&O would reimburse any extra costs involved with rearranging their travel.
Again P&O put on Buses to Baie de Citron for any passengers who wanted to go. We thought that was really generous of them, as they charge $20AU each for those transfers in their shore excursion brochure.
We just pottered around some of the stores and found a store called Style Co - a department type store. And bought some french label clothes for a bit of fun. We also went back the patisserie. ;)
The trip home was smooth sailing. The Entertainment Team put on an extra show for us as the cruise was an extra night!
Our little girl (almost 4) absolutely LOVED Turtle Cove. There was a newsletter delivered each day to our cabin about what was on the next day. It was open from 9-12 and then from 2 -10.30 each evening. If you wanted group child minding you had to let them know by 7.30pm and it was $5 per child per hour until 1am. They had lots of crafts and activities. They even practised for a Talent Show on the last day, which was lots of fun. On Island Night, they also had a family fun party. There were games for the whole family to participate in. I joined in the tunnel ball and our team won. Our Little girl also won the Limbo competition. She made lots of little friends and had a wonderful time. Never tears when we dropped her off, only when we picked her up cos she didn't want to leave!
Disembarkation was smooth as anything, although we really had packed way tooo much and had trouble carrying everything. Customs took less than two minutes, and then we had the walk up the hill to Wynyard Station, which was easier than I expected.
Despite all the dramas, we had an absolutely AWESOME time. We could not fault P&O or their staff for the handling of all the various situations. All the staff were friendly and professional at all times. We have booked another short cruise for next year to celebrate our Anniversary. Less than a year to go! Take me away P&O! Less

Auburn Couple Found Dead In Florida
An Auburn couple has been found dead in a Florida river as police try to determined what happened to them.
WCTV Television is reporting that James and Grace Maynard hopped into a small boat on Friday for a trip down the Suwannee River in the northern part of the state at a state park they were visiting.
At some point, something went wrong and the couple fell into the water.
The Lafayette County Sheriff's Office began a search after the couple was reported missing and they found the body of Grace Maynard first. She was wearing a lifejacket. Her husband James was found on Sunday nearly two miles downstream.
The Maynard's truck was located at the park and the couple was identified after a floating cooler was found in the river with Maynard's wallet inside.

Economic and behavioural factors affecting afforestation decisions for farmers
The level of annual afforestation in Ireland has fallen well short of government targets for a number of years. The objective of this thesis is to critically analyse both the economic and behavioural factors that motivate farmers to plant forests. We will develop a cost-benefit framework to model the inter-temporal costs and benefits of forestry planting decisions relative to alternative agricultural use. Using these data along with Teagasc National Farm Survey (NFS) data, we will simulate (1) potential forestry income streams for those farms who didn't plant and (2) potential agricultural income streams for those farms who planted forests and (3) we will develop a farm subsidy microsimulation model of counterfactual subsidies. The actual and counterfactual information can then be used to model farmer behaviour using a conditional logit model where:
utility (U) =f( future income streams, leisure, land value, Z)
Z - taste shifters e.g. demographics, regions, system, off-farm employment
The estimated behavioural model can then be used to simulate the impact of policy reforms.

Zedd Talks Performing & Working On New Album
Electronic DJ, Zedd sits down and talks with Bartel about his Good Morning America performance, artist collabs, favorite cities.
Zedd's Good Morning America experience,
"It was great I've never ever played a show that early and I didn't expect that many people to wake up early to see me play. It was amazing, beautiful weather, amazing crowd!"
As a Grammy winner Zedd has had the opportunity of working with many artist such as Ariana Grande, Hayley Williams and Ellie Goulding. Still he has a bunch of other artists he wants to collab with saying
"There's plenty of artists I'd love to work with Muse, I'd love to do a song with Adele. I grew up listening to a lot of bands so there's many many bands I would love to work with and see what would happen if you kind of mixed bands and electronic music."
Bartel asks Zedd about his favorite cities and Zedd says he loves L.A., San Fran and Chicago. He explains that he doesn't really get to see most of the cities he's been to because he's usually in and out.

|Home > Opinion > Article
If we are to be responsible citizens, we must all learn more about genetics, writes Peter Doherty.
Though I'm not a professional geneticist, almost everything I do and think about in biology is informed by contemporary molecular genetics.
I was in my last year at primary school when James D. Watson and Francis Crick, using the insights provided by Rosalind Franklin's X-ray crystallography pictures, worked out the double helix structure of DNA and solved the mechanistic problem of how organisms replicate themselves.
It is a great story, told with a sense of passion and excitement in Jim's early book The Double Helix and Brenda Maddox's recent Rosalind Franklin: the Dark Lady of DNA.
Fifty years after the initial publication, we have the sequence of the whole genetic information for humans, mice, a plant (Arabidopsis), the fruit fly (Drosophila) and a host of other organisms, including many of the nasties that cause infectious disease and death, my specific area of research interest.
Genetics didn't start with Watson and Crick. The science began in the 19th century with the plant breeding experiments of the Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel. He first presented his findings in 1865 but, unlike Watson and Crick, received little public attention during his lifetime.
Before Mendel, much was understood about the practicalities of breeding for improved characteristics. The cattle breeder Robert Bakewell used inbreeding to generate more productive livestock in 18th-century England. Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, triggering the debate on natural selection and evolution that is still deeply offensive to some religious fundamentalists. Mendelian genetics, then the science of molecular genetics that began with the double helix, explained how both inbreeding and natural selection work.
Before the double helix, genetics was dominated by animal and plant breeding, which became increasingly sophisticated and mathematical with the insights of pioneers such as the statistician R. A. Fisher, T. H. Morgan, Theodosius Dobzhansky and others who established the basic principles of the population genetics that I learnt as an undergraduate in the early 1960s.
The Nobel award that Rolf Zinkernagel and I shared in 1996 was for a genetic dissection we did in 1973-74. The initial experiment set out to compare virus-specific, cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in two lines of inbred mice that differed only in a genetic region known as the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Earlier experiments had shown that these "killer T cells" were involved in the process of recovery from infection. Our question was whether the MHC was influencing this process.
The dramatic "all or none" effect that we found was quickly mapped to a particular region of the MHC, using a spectrum of mouse strains developed to define the genetics of skin graft rejection. These results led us to speculate that the true function of the MHC is to signal changes in "self" to our own immune systems when we are infected, or some of our cells become cancerous.
We had, in fact, discovered the nature of "immunological surveillance", the mechanism that fascinated Melbourne's Sir Macfarlane Burnet, who shared the 1960 Nobel award with the British transplant biologist Sir Peter Medawar. Our experiments, that took a matter of months, depended on decades of earlier work by the mouse geneticists.
The next big advance in genetics that had a major effect on my research (in the 1990s) was when Mario Capecchi and Oliver Smithies, working independently, developed the technology for making "transgenic" and "knockout" mice.
Suddenly, a researcher who thought he or she might have discovered a gene that is important for cancer susceptibility could either insert and express that gene in a laboratory mouse, or disrupt a comparable mouse gene that might be thought to have the same function. Would the mouse now be more likely to develop that particular cancer? The approach has proved enormously powerful, led to many unexpected discoveries and is now central to almost every area of bio-medical research.
The availability of a spectrum of "knockout" mouse strains allowed us to analyse the characteristics of infectious diseases in mice that lack one or other major component of the immune system. This is a big help as we try to understand how best we might develop new vaccines or immune therapies to treat infections or cancer.
Many of our experiments now depend on the use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for expanding very small amounts of genetic information.
This technology has wide application: a number of old rape/murder cases have been cleared by the use of PCR, and some American states have declared a moratorium on the death penalty because so many people were found to have been wrongly convicted.
PCR was invented by Kary Mullis, who shared the 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. If you think scientists are all conformist nerds, read his autobiography, Dancing Naked in the Mind Field.
The consequences of the revolution in genetics that has been developing progressively since 1953 are impacting on all our lives. The spectrum ranges from the view of our place in nature to improved medical treatments and management, through insurance and legal responsibility to the controversial use of genetically modified plants.
Our biological identity is our genetic make-up. Anyone who can capture a few cells can potentially interrogate that genetic profile. The US has, for instance, mandated that "dead-beat dads" must pay child support. There are billboards exhorting abandoned mothers to pick up the telephone and call "1-800-DNA-TEST".
This is a new world. We need to educate ourselves and our children about the basic principles, uses and limitations of genetics if we are to be informed, responsible citizens.
Melbourne-based Professor Peter Doherty was a joint winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

IronPython 2.6.2 will work ALMOST correctly on Ubuntu 10.10, IF you use the binary which is linked for .NET 2.0. The error I experienced is that the black typeface on the default Gnome Terminal (with a white background) turns to light grey when IPy starts. If you switch Gnome Terminal to the black background, all is well. I assume that change happened after 2.6.b2. The version of mono is a more interesting story. (Bear with me, I spent a lot of time last week learning this.) Ubuntu has made the corporate decision to go with mono as part of their core. Ubuntu will not work without mono, and about 40 supported applications (they tell me) use mono. This is great news for the mono people, IMHO. But it comes with a cost. Mono is created on a Redhat-like system, SUSE. This is easy to understand, since the core group lives at Novell, the sponsor of SUSE. It seems that Redhat/SUSE have diverged enough from Debian that a significant amount of patching is required to make the stock (SUSE) release of mono work correctly on Debian. [An explanation for Windows users still following along: Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian, and uses most of the some packages. It has a MUCH faster release cycle, which I why I, and many others, use and prefer it. I attended my first meeting of the Utah Python Users Group last week and took a quick informal survey of the laptops present. Ubuntu:20.5, OS/X:2, other Linux:0, Windows:0.5. This in a place where lots of people work or worked for Novell, and the general population of programmers is heavily invested in Microsoft. The .5 is my (dual boot) laptop.] The Debian maintainers apply their patches to the LTS [long term support] version of mono, which at this point is 2.6.3. One of the Debian mono maintainers has supplied a patched 2.10 mono as a PPA on launchpad, but he only supports LTS versions of Ubuntu, which 10.10 is not. Therefore, the newest (i.e. .NET 4) software will not run on the newest Ubuntu. A very frustrating paradox. I received several suggestions about how to get around this problem, most of them involving virtual machines, or sandboxes. Since Redhat and SUSE are not as heavily invested in mono, they run more current versions. The latest suggestion, which I must rebuild my Linux partition before I can test, is this: v v v v v v v from Christopher James Halse Rogers <raof at ubuntu.com> sender-time Sent at 7:24 PM (GMT+11:00).

|This route is about 30 feet East of the furthest West route ("Happy Ending." You will see the obvious wide diagonal crack that starts about 20-25 feet up. If you like and can climb wide 5-8, this is a must-do. Any gear past 3 inches is useless unless it's over 8 inches.

On behalf of the city Parks Department family, we were saddened to hear of the untimely death of our friend, Pat Dolan.
Pat embodied what it meant to be a dedicated citizen activist. While a friend to many parks in Queens, she devoted considerable energies to Flushing Meadows Corona Park and was the president of the Flushing Meadows Corona Park Conservancy.
Among her achievements were advocating for Urban Park Ranger programs at Meadow and Willow lakes, installing bird blinds at both lakes and working toward the shoreline restoration of Meadow Lake and a future installation of an osprey pole and nest at Willow Lake.
Pat was also instrumental in providing crucial letters of support that bolstered our grant applications and was a tireless advocate for the funding of essential maintenance equipment.
But her efforts did not end in Queens' largest park. She was a leader in neighborhood greening efforts, including the creation of a Greenstreet at 73rd Avenue between 141st and Main streets.
On a personal level, Pat was a caring and spirited woman who inspired others to get involved for the betterment of their communities. We will miss her energy and presence.

Okay, so i picked up my latest issue of Play today, and there is a few new things.
- The camp commander at Camp Nelson is called Major Polatli
- The New Vegas Strip is full of drunk people pissed out of their heads in underwear and throwing up on the streets. Nice. They get ordered by NCR troops to go home. It also has drunk people in bikinis jumping in the fountains.
- Boone only becomes your companion if you help him kill the slavers at Dinky.
- A man called Manny Vargas is one of the two snipers at Dinkys mouth.
- Most of the main quests involve working for one of the two main factions.
- There is also a new Goodsprings screenshot, which reveals that Mitchell has his own house.

It was the second day of the three-day Bingham Cup® tournament, but the story remained the same with rugby-esque weather and three wins in four matches by the San Francisco Fog. The Fog second side successfully securing a spot among the final 8 teams in the Plate bracket, while the Fog first side advanced to the Cup bracket and are among the final four teams vying for the Bingham Cup heading into the final day.
SF Fog 1st Side 22 - Dublin Emerald Warriors 0
The Fog's 1st XV started their day against Dublin, the home team and organizers of the 2008 Bingham Cup® tournament. Faced with determined play by the Emerald Warriors as well as a strong fan base adorning the sidelines, the Fog went to work with technically sound rugby en route to a victory in the last match of pool play.
SF Fog 2nd Side 0 - NYC Gotham Knights 39
The Fog's 2nd side ended their pool play competition with another hard-fought battle against perennial powerhouse from New York. Though beset by a few injuries, the Fog never gave them an easy time during their 40 minutes on the pitch and held their heads high with continued strong rugby play.
PLATE BRACKET - Round 1
SF Fog 2nd Side 39 - NYC Gotham Knights 2nd Side 0
With all of their hard work in their first three matches behind them, the Fog's 2nd XV erupted in their fourth match in an emphatic victory over New York's B-side, featuring numerous breakaways and sprints toward the try line by the Fog's back line, as well as hard crashes and rucks by the Fog's forwards.
CUP BRACKET - Round 1
SF Fog 1st Side 29 - Los Angeles Rebellion 5
Similar to the Bingham Cup® in 2006, the Fog 1st side squared off against West Coast rivals the Los Angeles Rebellion in the quarter finals of the Cup bracket. The Fog again went to work, as both props crashed through the Rebellion line for tries, and the Fog back line ran up and down the field for additional scores.
The Fog 2nd side plays against the Chicago Dragons in the quarter-final match of the Plate bracket. The Fog 1st side plays against the London Kings Cross Steelers in the semi-final match of the Cup bracket, with the Sydney Convicts playing against the New York Gotham Knights in the other semi-final match.
Day Three headline results will be posted at the end of Sunday's matches (15 June 2008), while the full results will be posted on Monday, 16 June 2008.

Benigni, who won the best foreign film Oscar in 1998 for Life is Beautiful, removed his shirt and draped it over a news presenter's shoulders.
He then joked that Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had resigned.
Benigni also offered viewers of the RAI channel's news show a refund for his new film The Tiger and the Snow, set in war-torn Iraq, if they did not like it.
During the appearance, Benigni argued in favour of poetry and against war, which he said "makes no sense and is vulgar".
Outspoken Berlusconi critic Benigni, who led a rally in Rome on Friday to protest at the Italian government's decision to cut state arts funding, jumped behind the newscaster and announced: "Berlusconi has resigned."
Renowned prankster
Benigni's appearance on the primetime evening bulletin on Saturday won him favourable reaction from some critics.
La Stampa newspaper said: "With his ability as an extraordinary improviser, he took over four minutes of the TV news, giving himself a gift of a long, maxi-commercial."
Benigni is renowned for his slapstick pranks.
At the Oscars ceremony in 1999, he climbed on the back of his seat and applauded the audience after he was told he had won the foreign film prize.
He also went on to win the best actor award.
On a previous Italian TV news appearance, he jumped on the desk of the news anchor and kissed him.
When he appeared on a popular TV variety show, he almost knocked the host to the floor when he enthusiastically embraced her.

The suggestion that President Obama's reelection team will try to use Mitt Romney's Mormon faith against him is "utter nonsense," the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee said this week.
"That is just preposterous," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday when asked about recent comments from Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Mormon himself, who suggested Tuesday that the president's reelection team is "going to throw the Mormon church at [Romney] like you can't believe."

Wendy Williams — Before She Was Famous (EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS)
The self-proclaimed queen of all media, Wendy Williams, always had good looks on her side, even before she stripped down for a PETA billboard, as these Celebuzz exclusive photos from her yearbook reveals.
One thing is evident…
Williams, 48, had her signature hairstyle on show even when she grew up in New Jersey.
As Celebuzz previously reported, Williams joined a growing list of stars — including Eva Mendes, Khloe Kardashian, Taraji P. Henson,and Joanna Krupa — who renounced fur and volunteered to appear in PETA's iconic naked campaign.

Needing only five points to guarantee a semi-final place in the EIBA Over-60s Liberty Trophy, Yorkshire swept aside any threat from their nearest rivals Durham with ease.
They posted a winning margin of 124-106 and also collected 20 points out of the available 24.
The home leg was played at Featherstone IBC and saw Dave Colebourne's team scoring 11 shots between the fifth and tenth ends to lead 17-4 on their way to a 28-12 victory.
Tony Horobin's side did not manage to score over the last six ends but they had already done enough to win 19-16. The only losing rink came from that led by Eddie Kilgallon. They went from 20-18 down with three ends to play to lose 25-19.
The away leg was played at Darlington IBC and saw the team led by Graham Brooke pull away from the tenth end where they led 9-8.
Eight ends later, they surged 22-10 up en route to confirming a 22-14 win.
John Whiteley's side achieved a memorable comeback. Down 18-10 with three ends to play, they won 19-18, though Alan Jones' lost 21-17.
Yorkshire will next play Lincolnshire, who they recently beat in the Midland Counties League, at a date still to be arranged.

World AIDS Day
News From New York State
Senator Shirley L. Huntley
For Immediate Release: December 1, 2010
Contact: Antonio Rodriguez | firstname.lastname@example.com | (518) 455-3531
Countries across the globe will spend December 1st honoring those who have fallen to HIV/AIDS, and in doing so use the day to increase awareness of the rising infection rates and what can be done to stop this trend. So throughout the month of December, Senator Shirley L. Huntley (D-Jamaica) is urging people to increase their own awareness of HIV/AIDS and get tested.
"There are two steps that we can all take to do our part in helping curb HIV/AIDS infection rates—be aware and get tested," said Senator Huntley. "Being aware of the facts about HIV is a tool to making the right moves in taking care of one's own health and well-being, as well as those around them. Also, getting tested is a free and easy process which we all need to do, regardless of our age, race, gender or sexual orientation."
HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, which is the body's defense against diseases. The disease affects millions of people around the world, and according to the New York State HIV/AIDS Surveillance Annual Report, as of December 2008 there are more than 126,000 New Yorkers diagnosed and living with HIV or AIDS. It should also be noted that statistics are showing HIV/AIDS should no longer be thought of as a young persons' disease, as 75 percent of persons living with the disease are age 40 or older.
One way to stop the rise in infections rates is to be aware of the facts of the disease, including how one becomes infected and the ways it can be transmitted. HIV/AIDS is most often contracted through sexual activity, which practicing safe sex can help to prevent.
Testing is also crucial to controlling the rates of infection. Because symptoms of the disease are indistinguishable, people are often not aware they have the disease and spread it to others.
In the borough of Queens where Senator Huntley represents Senate District 10 there are HIV/AIDS centers designed to better aid those who may have the virus and/or disease or want to learn preventative measures. Also present in the borough is the AIDS Center of Queens County, which has a myriad of services such as preventative, legal, housing, and testing. This center also has community training for AIDS related to specific demographics such as members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, adolescents, Latinos, African-American, and post incarceration.
Senator Huntley has also taken a proactive measure against the deadly disease by introducing critical legislation in the New York State Senate. S. 4484 calls for informed consent, the routine offer of an HIV test to all New Yorkers between the ages of 13 and 64. In 2005, half of all new HIV infections were among black men and women. AIDS is the leading killer of black women between the ages of 25 and 34 and the fourth leading cause of death among black men
"There is a certain stigma that comes with being tested for HIV/AIDS and we need to work hard at removing this stigma to do what is best for our health," Senator Huntley continued. "Talk to friends about being tested, even set up appointments with them, because this is an issue that we need to have open and honest dialogue about. I encourage all New Yorkers to make testing an annual part of their lives."
In order to find the closest HIV/AIDS testing location to you, please visit www.hivtest.org. Nearly all locations provide free testing and literature, as well as other important information and services.

quick question...
i am making an 8, 12, 16 square tiered wedding cake tonight and decorating tomorrow. The 8 inch tier is going to have strawberry preserves in the middle and the 12 inch tier is going to have raspberry preserves in the middle. I have not used preserves with such a large cake yet. I want to make sure and put enough in so they can see and taste it but not too much in. I am nervous of the preserves making the two layers slide....is that a fear that could happen or am I just thinking it up? Please help me figure out how much of preserves I should put in between the tiers and if there is anything extra I need to do to make sure the tiers wont slide or do anything else because of the preserves...thanks so much!
April :0)

U.S.-Bound Container Ships Divert to Canadian Ports
PRINCE RUPERT, BC — Container ships from China, bound for the U.S., are diverting through Canadian ports to avoid delays from a looming strike at U.S. West Coast ports.
According to Bloomberg, Prince Rupert and Vancouver ports have had increased container traffic in July from a year earlier, while Seattle and other U.S. ports have seen volumes drop.
"If people are using the Canadian ports now out of concern for a slowdown, and they like what they see and they like the processing times and the experience, they'll continue to funnel some of their traffic that way," Emma Griffith, director at Fitch Ratings in New York who covers air and sea ports, told Bloomberg.
Prince Rupert port authority reported they're about 68 hours closer to Shanghai – sailing time – than Los Angeles.
The current six-year labor contract between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association expired on June 30 at midnight. The two sides have been negotiating since May 12 and there is still no sign of when the new contracts will be signed. The contracts affect workers at 29 ports from Washington state to California.

A stained, ringed leather Milwaukee Brewers coaster (I used to live five minutes from the stadium).

Many freighters have what they call a coaster hitched to the last wagon.
As she draws near you recognize her as a coaster running between the place you are bound to and the place you have left.
Hernando pressed his views upon him, and the skipper of the coaster seconded him.
The coaster took his pipe from his mouth, and twice opened his lips to speak.
1570s, "one who sails along coasts," agent noun from coast (v.) in its original sense "to go around the sides or border" of something. Applied to vessels for such sailing from 1680s. Tabletop drink stand (c.1887), originally "round tray for a decanter," so called from a resemblance to a sled, or because it "coasted" around the perimeter of the table to each guest in turn after dinner.
