Brewer Tote - Monogrammed
This open-top leather tote was inspired by a bag found in Brewer, Maine. Handcrafted from Horween® leather and finished with copper rivets, it has both exterior and interior pockets. This design is relatively new. The first piece was purchased off our workshop table before it was even completed. The second bag was presented at the Concours d'Elegance vintage car and boat show in Northern Michigan this summer. It was the first morning of the show and the new owner's remarks were "This is my 'forever' bag". Truly the perfect tote.
Handcrafted in the USA from locally sourced materials.
12"H x 16"W x 7"D
8" drop for shoulder

Image is showing up instead of the whole post???!
In the place where my post should be, only the image is showing up 😛 I've gone into the back-end to check the permalink to see if it was matching with what I was looking at on the front-end and it is??!
Here is an example of the lone image
this example of a whole post.
I imported my posts from a previous site, and just uploaded my media library to Go Daddy via FileZilla. I have since added posts/images and none of them are affected, and the vast majority of the imported posts are unaffected.
I just noticed this because like I said, I've added posts since and have viewed the finished product and the post displays just fine. Any/all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 🙂

David Cook's The Last Goodbye debuted with 22,000 downloads after he performed the song on American Idol last week. But Idol wasn't the only TV show boosting track sales. Downloads of Carrie Underwood's recording of How Great Thou Art skyrocketed after she sang the hymn on CBS' Girls Night Out: Superstar Women of Country special.
After Haley Reinhart sang Adele's Rolling in the Deep, the track nearly doubled its weekly sales; at 297,000 downloads, it was last week's most popular track. Also, it looks like James Durbin's Muse cover resonated with fans: Sales of Uprising rose up 686% after he sang it on the show last week, selling 50,000 copies.
Adele, Rolling in the Deep (297,000, +99%, 1.708 million)
Katy Perry, E.T. (feat. Kanye West) (270,000, +23%, 1.883 million)
Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull, On the Floor (149,000, +19%, 1.383 million)
Muse, Uprising (50,000, +686%, 1.635 million)

Yesterday, the venerable Nadeem Mandviwala tweeted that Waar had crossed 18 crores in its total earnings, and the countdown could now begin on it becoming the greatest grosser in Pakistani film history. That record is held by Syed Noor's Chooriyan, which grossed 20 crores. Hasan Zaidi, the founder of the Kara Film Festival and probably the most reliable authority on cinema in Pakistan explained here that within cinema parlance, if Waar was made in 6 crore PKR, it would only now have broken even at 18 crores. I would highly recommend reading his excellent piece here to understand why. (its quite simple)
However, I was interested in something else here. If you all remember, when Waar came out there was a huge fuss and cry about its plot.
Essentially, the issue was that all the blame of terrorism was placed on double agents from our neighbouring country. As Rafay Mahmood wrote in the Express Tribune,
"This piece of pointless propaganda is going to further confuse an already puzzled nation about Pakistan's outlook on counter-terrorism."
Now let me make clear that I don't buy the "All terrorists are Injun agents" theory. And I am firmly of the view that Pakistan needs to develop organic strategies to counter terrorism.
But Waar didn't offend me. Partly because I felt it was bullshit that films like Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty get away with being 'critically' acclaimed despite a totally chutyap depiction of politics. And let's not even get started into the politics of films like Iron Man.
Partly, I also felt that holding up the politics of any action film was a bit useless. In my opinion, such films don't change attitudes, although they might reinforce previously held beliefs.
Keeping that in mind, I suppose I should be worried how Waar would at the very least be reinforcing a confused Pakistani narrative.
But then this happened.
No, not only did this happen, but all mothafucking hell broke lose. Immy bhai was so livid he wanted to declare war on the US.
Nisar uncle was also losing his shit, though sycophants and the likes claimed that this was only because the N's secret plan to lie about talks while preparing to fight had been undone.
Then the politician fighting the world's longest battle against oblivion, Maulana Fazlullah weighed in.
And popping his cherry on top was former Surkha (love mentioning this) Munawwar Hasan.
So, according to the
political class some politicians, not only are the TTP shaheeds, but Pakistani soldiers killed by them are not shaheed. Although no one has come out and said this as yet, this would also imply that Pakistani citizens killed in terrorist attacks are also not Shaheed.
I know people will jump up and point to statements by select leaders contradicting such claims, but none of those voices have been loud enough to matter IMHO. Little wonder then that Dawn did this.
What does all this have to do with Waar?
Well, I just want to ask the people who felt Waar was confusing the national narrative how they feel now? I mean, at least in the film the terrorists were the BAD GUYS. In Pakistan's reality, they are variously subaltern rebels, anti-imperialist Holy Warriors, and the path to salvation.
In fact, four years after the Swat operation, it is Malala who is exiled and Fazlullah who is back in Pakistan.
It is the politicians who refuse to come out and call the terrorists something other than an adjective used to describe the Care Bears. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Army's statement on JI claimed that Maulana Maududi – you know the guy who was vehemently against Pakistan and led the anti-Ahmedi movement – was an all round great guy. PPP ke memo se gaand jalti hai, magar Munawwar sb ki hazaroon shaheed faujiyon ki behurmati per manoo billi wali statement nikalti hai. Bahut khub .
So I ask you, who exactly is responsible for Pakistan's terrorist narrative confusion?
Is it a wildly popular film which pits Pakistan against terrorists, or is it the political class/establishment which lies to its citizens with the sort of brazenness that would make Pinocchio look like a Viagra commercial? Is it the convenient, black and white narrative of Waar which is the issue, or is it those talking heads on TV who lie to us even about how many people have been killed?
As with many things, Malala has the answer.
Is it a wildly popular film which pits Pakistan against terrorists, or is it the political class/establishment which lies to its citizens with the sort of brazenness that would make Pinocchio look like a Viagra commercial? Is it the convenient, black and white narrative of Waar which is the issue, or is it those talking heads on TV who lie to us even about how many people have been killed?
To quote Shaan with the best line of the film: "Here's a third option – GO FUCK YOURSELF"

We propose two basic NIZK arguments, one for Hadamard product of two vectors, and another one for a shift of a vector. The first argument is based on the corresponding argument of Lipmaa (TCC 2012), but makes use of Fast Fourier Transform and Pippenger\'s multi-exponentiation algorithm to achieve quasilinear (as opposed quadratic) computational complexity. The shift argument seems to be novel.
Based on the new basic arguments, we propose a NIZK argument for subset sum. This seems to be the only known (direct) sublinear NIZK argument for some other NP-complete language than Circuit-SAT\\@. Moreover, it is significantly more efficient than the known sublinear Circuit-SAT arguments by Groth (Asiacrypt 2010) and Lipmaa. In addition, we show that the new arguments can be used to speed up the recent range argument by Chaabouni, Lipmaa and Zhang (FC 2012). Finally, we combine the subset sum argument and the range argument to propose a direct sublinear NIZK argument for another NP-complete language, decision knapsack.

Rates likely to dip, soar
Many economic observers see signs of recovery in the U.S. economy and even of stabilization in Europe. They are forecasting a continued rise in interest rates.
If these observers prove correct, homebuyers face higher mortgage rates and investors can expect further losses in their "safe" bond portfolios. If these sanguine economic forecasts are wrong and recession rather than demand-led inflation threatens, homebuyers and bondholders may heave a sigh of relief.
The Commerce Department reports new home sales climbing and their value rising 12 percent over a year ago. The Labor Department showed jobless claims fell 19,000 to 326,000 last week. Annalisa Piazza, a fixed income analyst at Newedge Group of London, maintains that "there's been a signal that the global business cycle may have reached the bottom and the economy is recovering."
Many economists agree with this forecast, and politicians seize gleefully on such opinion. Doubtless, many of them failed to forecast the 2007 recession.
However, the effects of the credit panic of 2008, together with the great uncertainties created by government over taxes, regulation and Obamacare, have left the consumer wary. The Federal Reserve's infusion of large sums of synthetic cash into the economy has bypassed ordinary people, creating an enormous and increasingly politically sensitive wealth divide. Real median household income remains at 1995 levels.
Nearly $150 billion in new taxes likely will be paid for from savings. Later, they will they be reflected in reduced consumer demand. This portends destruction $450 billion in consumer demand, starting near the end of 2013.
Already, anemic growth in gross domestic product highlights serious economic underperformance, rising by only 1.6 percent in the past year — far below the 223-year average of 3.8 percent. Reduced demand will worsen this situation.
Further, foreign economies are experiencing recession, reflected in falling commodity prices.
Unlike short-term rates, long-term bond yield reflects investors' expectations of perceived inflation rather than government- financed demand. This is crucial to gauging the interest rate outlook.
The popular misconception was that the Fed's injection of cash was inflationary. The yield curve steepened as long-bond yields rose. Conversely, talk of "tapering" off by the Fed is misconstrued as a sign that less government stimulus will lead to increased yields. Investors may soon recognize reduced Fed action as deflationary and buy long-term bonds, driving yields down.
Because of huge debt and serious mortgage default rates, the government cannot afford higher interest rates. Therefore, latent economic pressures for lower interest rates are increasing.
With GDP growth threatened by shrinking consumer demand and spreading international recession, it is likely that recession — rather than inflation — will threaten the major economies first.
If the popular outlook for inflation is replaced by fears of recession and lower interest rates, homebuyers and bondholders may get a second chance.

I must have missed the memo where this was the official weekend to release international films with mixed casts and filmmakers and styles. Only that could account for why Intruders (set in Spain and Britain with an international cast and in two languages) and The Raid: Redemption (set, I think, in Indonesia with a multi-racial cast and a Welsh director, but mimicking Hong Kong action films) are in theaters at the same time. Both are interesting messes.
REVIEW: "The Raid: Redemption," "Intruders"
Israel Luna's "Ouija Experiment" screens at Inwood's midnight movie this weekend
Israel Luna is used to working just as hard getting his movies to his public as making them — such is the life of the independent filmmaker. His Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives made it to the Tribeca and other film fests, but he's taken an old-school roadshow approach to his latest, The Ouija Experiment.
Without a distributor, Luna has been taking the print of his low-budget horror film around the country himself, showing it wherever there's an audience. And what better audience than his hometown for a traditional midnight screening? Ouija will show Friday and Saturday nights at the Inwood — fitting, since the movie was shot locally.
It looks pretty scary to us, too — just check out the trailer below.
Smith LOVES fags
Gay-friendly filmmaker Kevin Smith Phelps-bashes with his satiric horror film 'Red State'
Texas Theatre, 231 W. Jefferson Ave. Sept. 25, 6 p.m. $20.
Kevin Smith threw fans and critics a curveball with Red State, his horror satire about three teenagers kidnapped by a murderous Fred Phelps-esque religious fundamentalist and his virulently homophobic clan (Melissa Leo plays its matriarch). It represents a major stylistic and genre departure from Smith's largely comic repertoire including Clerks and Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
Smith confounded the film industry with Red State's distribution scheme, choosing to take it on a national roadshow tour (with premium ticket prices); it plays, with Smith participating in a live online Q&A, at the Texas Theater on Sunday.
The dependable ally of the LGBT community — "I've got a brother who's been married to the same dude for 20 years, I work in Hollywood so I'm surrounded by the gay community and I've always said I'm one cock in the mouth shy of being gay myself," the bearish Smith has noted — executive produced queer-themed documentaries, Small Town Gay Bar and Bear Nation, and currently spends time interacting with fans of all sexualities via SModcast.com.
— Lawrence Ferber
Dallas Voice: Why such a dark film, Kevin? What was its genesis? Kevin Smith: It was a bunch of factors. I saw Michael Parks in From Dusk Till Dawn in 1995 and the dude blew me away. He was onscreen the first five or ten minutes and he's making choices I've never seen any other actor make. He's the truth. I said, "My God, I've got to work with that dude one day." It took me 15 years to figure out what that would be because I didn't want to get in touch with him and say, "Hey, man, you want to play Silent Bob's grandfather?"
Cut to years later, my friend Malcolm Ingram makes Small Town Gay Bar. It's about a gay bar in Mississippi and how tough it can be in a community where nobody really wants you there. In the midst of it, Malcolm speaks with Fred Phelps. Malcolm sat with the beast, had an hour interview with him and sent me the footage, and he came across as terrifying to me. This dude is a fucking villain. He looks like a grandpa or uncle and speaks with all the homespun gee-shucks-isms, and then the content of what he says … that's what's bracing. It's all hate, divisive, God-hates-this-and- that, and very anti-gay. I don't think you have to be gay to be offended by that sort of thing, to find someone like Phelps and his backwards fucking family deplorable. And you don't have to be gay to want to do something about it. I can't stop them from speaking but I can go out there and do to them what they do to Matthew Shepard's family and soldiers coming home from Iraq. They essentially stand there holding a sign and make them feel like shit. So this is my version of standing there holding a sign and making the Phelpses feel like shit.
Is there any concern this would inspire the Phelps family to get a cache of weapons together? Oh God, no! I mean, I don't think those people are violent in the very least. This movie isn't them. We tee off on them. It's a satirical take on them. One of their kids told me they pray for the deaths of others, but they would never do that kind of thing.
You had a pretty great counter-protest at Sundance. I saw that one of your group's signs said Dick Tastes Yummy. That was fun, watching people's creativity sparked by these animals. A bunch of kids who go to high school there in Park City, Utah, heard about the Phelpses coming to protest us and came out to counter-protest. These kids were holding up signs like God Hates Homework. One dude had a sign that said Why Did They Cancel Pushing Daisies? That one fucking blew my mind. That's how you shatter a monster's brain: You hold up a mirror. What they're doing is ridiculous, dude, so when you show up and counter them with ridiculous shit like Thor Hates Straights and God Hates Rainy Days and Mondays, you defang them. That's what Red State is. I can't stop them from saying what they're gonna say, "Believe" — I can't and don't want to; that's freedom in this country. But if they're going to make other people's lives miserable, that's what Red State is. And whenever they talk about the movie you can tell it bugs them. They stopped digging the fucking attention because we held up a mirror.
I read that you actually provided tickets to some members of the Phelps clan for one of the roadshow's screenings and they walked out. Yeah, in Kansas City. I'm sitting there watching [the movie with the audience] and seven minutes in I get tapped on my fucking shoulder. I turn around and it's Megan Phelps [Fred's 26-year-old granddaughter] and I'm startled because you never want to see a Phelps that close. And she goes, "Oh, Kevin, this is filthy… but we just wanted to give you a gift before we get out of here." At that moment for a brief second I was waiting for the gun to come flashing out like, "The gift is God's mighty bullets!" But they handed me two protest posters. One said God Hates Fag Enablers — that's what they've called me many times. The other was a bit more abstract, very fucking strange. They took our title treatment from the Red State poster and put it on a sign and it said simply, Red State Fags, and they all signed it, like they were members of a baseball team or cast in a movie. Megan wrote, "See you in hell… not really because I'm not going there and you are."
How kind of them! What did you do with it? My wife goes, "You're throwing that out;" I said, "You're out of your fucking mind! I worked hard for this, I fought these fucking monsters for a year! This is a trophy, like Batman's giant penny in the Batcave!" She's like, "Well, you can't let the kid see it." My kid don't know nothing from hate. We live in L.A. and there's a hell of a lot of liberalism and tolerance out here. There is no difference between gay and straight, there's no negativity to her. So we unloaded the bus after we got home from the tour and there it is staring at us in the face, Red State Fags. My kid stares at this poster and my wife is looking at me like, "You fucking idiot, I knew something like this would happen." And our daughter turns to us and goes, "What is this? The sequel?"

The age of Ghostfacebook: 'Scream 4'
'Scream 4' wants to be your favorite scary movie. And it just might succeed
When Scream came out in 1996 — Damn! Really?! — it turned the horror film on its head with post-modern genius: It was the first slasher film to acknowledge the genre of slasher films has rules, and that anyone aware of them could manipulate the outcome. It meant if you were the big-breasted bimbo babysitting alone in a house with lots of windows… well, let's just say you won't be around for the shreikquel. And certainly not the screamake.
By the time Scream 3 rolled around in 2000, the plot was folding in on itself: Movies were being made about the events portrayed in the original, and we had a metafilm.
The slasher film has morphed a lot in the last decade, partly due to the Scream series, with the rise of tortureporn (Saw, Hostel) and the docu-horror (Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity).
But society has morphed just as quickly, with reality TV documenting our lives and inventing fauxlebrity culture, victimization becoming a catch-phrase and Facebook, Twitter and smartphone apps changing the way we relate to one another.
So really, Scream 4 was overdue, even necessary.
Screenwriter Kevin Williamson is back, as are director Wes Craven and stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, and the twisty Mobius strip of a movie they've conjured up is a worthy addition to — and a worthy evolution of — franchise.
It's been 10 years since the murders in Woodsboro stopped. Deputy Dewey (Arquette) is sheriff now, and his wife, Gale (Cox) is smothering in small-town domesticity. Sidney (Campbell) has come home to promote her memoir and visit her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts). But Ghostface is back, and targeting Sidney's family and friends.
Scream's ability to reinvent itself has always been its greatest asset, along with actual actors doing good work and a wicked sense of humor that both undercuts and heightens the tension.
There are new rules to horror films now — one being the only way to survive is to be gay (only that doesn't work out so well for the gay guy), and S4 does an admirable job adapting while still making some degree of sense. The body count may get unreasonably high, but Williamson's snippy lectures about the Facebook generation have actual merit.
Part of the success of the series has always been Ghostface himself, both as a lithe, shockingly grotesque image and as a growling, threatening voice on the phone. It still offers chills, and if not as powerfully as it once did, well, we've all gotten older. And savvier. We're all a little more meta. Maybe my enjoyment was po-mo ironic, maybe retro-GenXer-lame. I can't tell anymore. But it was nice to revisit Scream and remember a time when "friend" wasn't a verb and people talked to each other face-to-ghostface and not through meaningless modspeak. OMG! ; ) L8r, beeyotches.

Snowed-in out film fest viewing
With all the arctic weather turning Texas into Palinland lately, it's easy to think we have it really bad. But if you wanna see how the cold can truly put the "crazy" in stir crazy, you might check out the 2008 horror film Scarce. Filmed during a harsh Canadian winter, it stars Dallas Voice contributor Steve Warren as one of two middle-aged cannibals who live together in a rural cabin where they torture and dine on hot young men who happen by — who, in this film, often tramp around in their undies in two feet of snow. The gay themes are more suggested than overt, but with Warren playing one of the "confirmed bachelors" who eats other men … well, you don't need great gaydar to get the point.

Shawn of the deadly
Homo and horror collide as out filmmaker Shawn Ewert slices his way into the movies
RICH LOPEZ | Staff Writer email@example.com
For some people, every day is Halloween.
The monsters and nightmares stick around all year long and they are just fine with that.
Definitely Shawn Ewert is. Actually, if it wasn't for those nightmares, he might be out of his profession as a horror film director.
"If I'm working around the house, I'll throw in any scary movie for the background," he says. "It's just another day."
When a "cool aunt" showed him A Nightmare on Elm Street, it scared him like it should any 5-year-old. Now 32, he admits he can't get enough of it. So he decided to turn his photography work into filmmaking.
"I love film in general but because of that, horror has special place for me," he says. "I watched a lot of Hitchcock growing up. He wasn't going for gore — he was all about story. That's what it is for me. If I don't care about story, I don't care about the film."
In junior high, his writing began to manifest as his outlet for his "freakiness:" No one read his stuff for fear they would freak out. In the back of his mind, though, he wondered what his stories would actually look like.
"I knew those stories would be so much cooler if I could watch," he says. "All I thought was how could I make this on the screen. I'd love to show to somebody someday the way I see all this in my head."
Ewert rolls his eyes at the thought of reminiscing over high school. Like many gay youth, they weren't the best of times for him. He came out to a select few, but was publicly outed by the girl he dated. Still, Ewert came out relatively unscathed — even in a Mesquite high school.
But his second family was in the horror film fan community, and it's there he found solace and even acceptance. Unlike comedy or musicals, there isn't an actual community of fans, but those who like scary movies — who really like them — come together and Ewert found a home. When he began his coming out process on his own terms, he found acceptance among his brethren.
"For me, the horror community is pretty accepting," he says. "Horror fans can connect to so many other people that it's almost a family atmosphere. In that group, you're less of a freak and that made it easier to come out to those people."
Fast-forward to June 2010. Ewert's production company, Right Left Turn Productions, screened his short Jack's Bad Day at the first Fears for Queers film festival in Addison. The one-day event featured all gay filmmakers in the horror genre. His 20-minute film is about a serial killer who comes up short in his murderous proclivity. Ewert calls it a horror-comedy.
"The stuff we've made so far has been tongue-in-cheek," he says. "There's a certain comedy to Jack's Bad Day. All his victims die right before he kills them. What it would it mean for a serial killer to have that kind of day?"
He's wrapping up his second short The Sleepover, a 10-minute-long film that leaves the comedy out in favor of sheer fear. "Oh gosh, it's a horrifying story about a serial killer of little girls," he says.
So where's the gay stuff? Ewert doesn't see things that way. Although he's gay and a filmmaker, his films aren't going to "be gay" just because he is. Got it?
"The problem I have with most LGBT films is the filmmakers make them as gay as possible without much of a story," he says. "They make films that are so narrow just to fit one community. I want to see the gay community in my films. I also want to have appeal to everyone. And I don't write gay-centric necessarily, but I do have a script I couldn't stop writing."
That would be his latest short, Out Come the Wolves, and it's both scary and topical. Ewert's first gay horror piece is about one kid's revenge on bullies. But Wolves is also personal to him because his own run-ins were far scarier than any movie.
"I used a lot of language in the film that if someone were to say to me and I would be pretty upset," he says. "When a truckload of guys once chased and threatened me, it was my first dose of reality that they could literally take someone's life. That made its way into this film. This is revenge for me."
He's taking baby steps with his short films, but his first full-length feature is in sight. Ewert has scripts and ideas ready to put on camera. If he runs out of ideas, well, all he has to do is go to sleep.
"Almost everything I've done has come out of a dream, or as close to a dream as I can remember," Ewert says.
Or maybe he means nightmare.

Scary gay
Horror filmmaker Shawn Ewert knows his scary movies. He also knows what's so gay about many of them. He breaks down some of his favorites for us here.
The Hunger – "David Bowie is in the film. Oh, and the really hot romance between Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve."
The Lost Boys – "They only wanted Michael as part of the crew. The girl — secondary."
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 – "I keep this in a special place with the coming out story and so much homoeroticism."
Fright Night – "Evil Ed's ostracism from the rest of the kids, finds a "home"/acceptance with a sexy older man/vampire."
Interview With the Vampire – "OK, really? Do I have to spell this one out?"
Psycho – "Overbearing mother, issues with women, liked to stuff things. Gay."
Dracula – " Oh, Vlad totally had it bad for Jonathan Harker".
Night of the Creeps – "Yeah, at the end he gets the girl, but only after his "roommate" is killed by one of the phallic aliens that gets you by going through your mouth."

Comments about Samson Meteor USB Mic:
Had a Samson wireless for guitar decades ago...great stuff, very dependable! The Meteor works right every time! Quiet, very warm. it has worked in everything I have patched it into....what the hell else do you want for the price!
Comments about Samson Meteor USB Mic:
If your gonna buy something for recording at home its alright not the best mic for recording but if your on the road recording stuff or touring with the mic you might need to take in consideration that it is very fragile and the USB port(the micro USB port in the back of the meteor)will become loose and break from just by taking it in and out of its case. Dont waste your $$$ unless you buy the warranty which is very cheap.
Comments about Samson Meteor USB Mic:
This is microphone is alright for the price, definitely not ideal for vocal recording in a home studio or in your DAW due to the fact that this mic will pick up many background sounds and also distort with higher volumed vocals. I owned for 7 months which showed the mic a lot of use.. I would say from my experience that the mic definitely loses sound quality over time which is why I have upgraded to a Cardioid condenser microphone.. Good price for a mic if youre on a budget, NOT a permanent recording solution.

By now you've likely heard -- and perhaps felt your jaw drop open over -- Todd Akin's recent interview, in which the Republican Senate candidate from Missouri admitted that he believes abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape, because "if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." If you follow that logic to its end, Akin means: Ladies, if you say you got pregnant after being raped, you're probably lying about the rape part.
Of course the scientific facts are far from on Akin's side, which should be embarrassing for a member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. While it may be true that female ducks have evolved in such a way that they now have a biological anti-pregnancy response to forced sex, human beings most definitely have not. As the Washington Post's Sarah Kliff notes, many scientific studies have proven that the you-only-conceive-if-aroused theory is complete bunk. In fact, one study from 2003 even showed that rape victims may be more likely to get pregnant than individuals on the whole.

THE Baillieu government is poised to abandon its plan to move all automotive shipping from Melbourne to the Port of Geelong - putting at risk up to 1000 jobs that could have flowed to the regional centre.
Ports Minister Denis Napthine last night said no decision had been made to drop the plan, first proposed by his government while in opposition.
But government sources, port figures and shipping and automotive industry groups, have said the plan was now extremely unlikely to go ahead.
Melbourne is Australia's largest motor vehicle trading port, with 93 per cent of exported cars leaving from it. In 2010 there were 316,500 cars imported into Melbourne, and 112,500 exported. Last February, the government began a feasibility study into moving this automotive shipping to Geelong. The proposal would free up land around the Port of Melbourne and could cut some West Gate Bridge truck movements.
The plan was welcomed by Geelong because, on the government's original estimates, it would generate about 1000 jobs and boost the local economy.
But it has been met with furious opposition by Toyota, Ford and Holden, who want auto shipping kept at Melbourne. Nissan, which has a component casting plant in Dandenong and exports parts, is also believed to be opposed.
The Port of Melbourne Corporation is also understood to oppose the move, in part because of the revenue it would lose.
Committee for Geelong executive director Peter Dorling said the port was more than able to expand to take the number of vehicles. ''From Geelong's point of view, it's a great opportunity to extend the life of our port,'' he said.
Opposition MP Tim Pallas attempted to obtain a study by engineers SKM into the viability of the proposal under freedom-of-information legislation. His request was refused.
Mr Pallas said yesterday that the government giving Geelong false hope about the likelihood of the plan proceeding was ''a silly thing to do''.
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief Ian Chalmers has lobbied the government on behalf of the automotive companies to stop the move.
He said while it had been a well-intentioned proposal, it had not been thought through properly.
There were significant infrastructure problems at the Port of Geelong that made the proposal unwise, he said, including a lack of space for the volume of vehicles.
The Port of Geelong predominantly handles grain, woodchips and petroleum products.
Dr Napthine was adamant last night that no final decision had been made.
''I'm saying it very clearly and plainly: no decision has been made, and if people are presuming what the decision will be they are jumping to conclusions. It has not gone to cabinet,'' he said.
Dr Napthine said last July that final consideration of the feasibility study would be made early this year.

Day 27
Vancouver - Science World at Telus World of Science.
31.12.2012 - 31.12.2012
View California, Alberta & British Columbia on petty1912's travel map.
Today is kids day. Fun for the boys and fun for the child within. We are staying in Yaletown and across False Creek is Science World at Telus World of Science.
Between us and Science World is the BC Place Stadium. Every evening from our bedroom window you can see the blue iridescent lighting on the outside of the stadium. So today we got to have a quick walk around the complex on our way across the creek. We entered from Robson Street and was greeted by a series of statues as a memorial to the Canadian cancer research activist and athlete Terry Fox in the area that is named Terry Fox Plaza. My boys had never heard of Terry Fox, so this was a great opportunity to explain his journey and why they are celebrating his life in such a way.
BC Place Stadium has had a few incarnations since it was first opened in 1983. First it was used during Expo 86. During 2010 it underwent a renovation and was used in during the XXI Olympic Winter Games and X Paralympic Winter Games. Sam now knows this is where Taylor Swift will be holding a concert in June and wants to come back. It is also home the the BC Sportsman Hall of Fame. Rogers Arena, home to the Vancouver Canucks (ice hockey team) is across the road. This would then make this area the sporting mecca for for the locals.
The drizzling rain drove us onwards. It was a 10 minute walk around the False Creek Basin to Science World. It took us 20 minutes as we had to stop at a small rocky beach so the boys could throw rocks into False Creek. It is an impossibility for us go past any body of water without throwing something into it. Today was no exception.
The Science World building is quite distinctive. Most of you would recognise this memorable dome building as the Expo Centre during Expo 86. I wasn't sure what to expect when lined up to enter Science World.
There were a lot of families lined up with us. Most of the children were under 10 years of age so I assumed this meant my boys would be in for a treat. The building comprises of 2 floors and an omnimax theatre in the dome of the structure. Each floor has about 4 different galleries and laboratories. Today none of the laboratories were open.
I could write pages about how fantastic this place was and still not do it justice. It was fabulous to say the least. Everyone, old and young alike was exploring and challenging themselves with the puzzles and devices on exhibit. We particularly enjoyed Eureka! the Mitchell Odyssey Foundation Gallery that had lots of hands on physics exhibits with the themes of light, sound and kinetics. We spent an hour in that gallery alone.
Paul and I like the boys tried every gadget, experiment and exhibit. We were having a great time. I can't remember the last time I had fun constructing building block dams, shooting plastic balls into water fountains and mucking around with sound waves. It was great!
Our other favourite spot was the Search: The Sara Stern Gallery. This gallery contained rock samples, fossils, live animals and insects (such as cockroaches, stick insects, a guinea pig, a tortoise, snakes and many other little critters) along with exotic plants. There were dinosaur models. The Tyrannosaurus Rex being the showpiece. Pat was spellbound. He worked out that the T-Rex could fit about 8 to 10 of him in his belly.
We spent 4 hours here at Science World which was too short. As it was New Years Eve, the building was closing 2 hours earlier than usual. This is a place that if you were a local you would have membership to enjoy it all year round. I loved being able to show my boys a real human brain and heart. They were fascinated.
Every gallery was interesting and you learnt something. The message often simple, but not always recognisable at first glance. This was engineering and science for all.
I was sad we had to leave. We could have easily spent another 2 hours here. During the walk home we spoke continuously of our time there and recounted the funny and interesting moments. I decided there just isn't enough of these "science worlds" and we need more. What a great day we had. It will be hard to match tomorrow, so there is no point in trying.
Happy New Year everyone! Good wishes for a great year in 2013.

AIDS education in schools is not a new phenomenon in most developed nations. This is because they identified the importance of spreading HIV awareness amongst the children as an important tool in checking HIV propagation. School children get sexually active after a particular point of time, especially in western societies. However, they are open about their sexual status to their elders and teachers.
They know their problems and can therefore figure out what else they need to learn, to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases. In this scenario, if proper HIV and sex education is not given to them, they may end up contracting the disease. AIDS education in schools is accepted in the western nations, as they have identified its importance in fighting the pandemic.
In underdeveloped nations, AIDS education is school is still not so prevalent. This is because; discussing sex-oriented topics are still a taboo in these societies. The children are believed to remain sexually passive until marriage due to their social ethos. However, how much these customs are observed can actually be questioned. Here too, teenagers are restraints to discuss about sex openly with their elderly people or teachers. As a result, they commit many risky activities at the spur of the moment, resulting in contraction of HIV. In order to check these activities, AIDS education in school is essential. HIV education in schools and colleges are still a taboo and has not yet been implemented on a large scale. That is why; developing and underdeveloped nations are far behind the developed ones, in spreading HIV awareness and resisting its spread.
Advantages of AIDS education in schools:
AIDS education in schools plays a significant role because it aims to enlighten an entire generation, who will be the future of the nation, about the deadliest of all diseases. This can assure that in the coming generations, the propagation of the disease will gradually paralyze. The youth accounts for 50% of all HIV patients around the world. If they are familiarized with the disease, they can surely take actions to check its spread and reduce the transmission rate of this disease.

- 1.7 New Skin

- 1.9 Changelog
- 1.10 Past Release Notes
This page contains all important 4.0 specific information. (See also: Upgrade guide)
Symlink Change
- Starting with TYPO3 4.0beta3, internal symlinks are not used anymore. This means, that there will be no symlinks inside the typo3_src/ folder. However, some extensions are not correctly adopted to the new scheme, therefore, you may want to add the symlinks again to prevent any problems.
- If you are upgrading from an older version, you will need to change the symlink index.php (pointing to tslib/index_ts.php in TYPO3_3.8.1 and before) to point to typo3_src/index.php in TYPO3 4.0:
rm index.php
ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php
# (provided you have linked the "typo3_src" folder to your TYPO3 source folder, e.g. "typo3_src-4.0/")
- Please keep in mind that there will be no symlinks anymore from the provided fonts nimbus.ttf and vera.ttf to arial.ttf and verdana.ttf. If you depend on these fonts, you need to upload the original fonts manually or create symlinks to these look-alike-fonts in t3lib/fonts/.
As with any TYPO3 release, the default extension set has been changed. There are some new system extensions that were distributed as default global extensions in 3.8.x, as well as some new system extensions that were previously only available through the TER. There are some extensions that are no longer shipped with the TYPO3 source and are available through TER.
Because local extensions (typo3conf/ext) take precedence in loading over global ones (typo3/ext), and global extensions over system ones (typo3/sysext), make sure you are not overriding newer system or global extensions with older ones installed as locals. When you remove extensions from typo3conf/ext/ or typo3/ext/ because they are now a system extension (rtehtmlarea for example), don't forget to remove the temp_CACHED_* files in typo3conf/ manually.
Only the security checked extensions can be seen with the Extension Manager (EM). If you want to see all extensions, then you must activate them manually in the EM settings section. Click the checkbox 'enable unsupported extensions'. In the 'import extensions' menu you must click on 'Retrieve/Update' to get the latest list of available extensions from TER.
New System Extensions
The following extensions were previously only available through TER and are shipped as system extensions in TYPO3 4.0:

- tstemplate_analyzer
- tstemplate_ceditor
- tstemplate_info

Removed Extensions
The following extensions were shipped as default global extensions in TYPO3 3.8 and have been removed from the TYPO3 source. They are either still available through TER or have been phased out:

Localization/Language packs
- The old csh_[lang-key] extensions are not used anymore.
- Please go to the EM and use the new function "Translation handling". There you just select all languages you want to to carry within your installation.
- For one-time initial update or later synchronisation you need to use the button "Update from repository".
- On installing additional extensions later on the EM automatically takes care to import the appropriate language-packs as selected (only if available of course)! You only need to use the "Translation handling" if you want to update/check lables with the translation-server
Important UTF-8 database settings change
For using TYPO3 version 4.0, on a MySQL-4.1 (maybe other versions) with a UTF-8 based database, please refer to the details of https://forge.typo3.org/issues/14848.
Direct Mail Extension
Old versions of direct mail don't work anymore with TYPO3 4.0, so you need to get the latest version from the Extension Repository.
Rich Text Editor
TYPO3 4.0 ships with rtehtmlarea as the default RTE. You can install it using the Extension Manager. (If you have an old version of rtehtmlarea in typo3conf/ext/, you must delete it.)
New Skin
TYPO3 Version 4.0 is shipped with a new default skin developed by Thomas Murphy and the design team. It is enabled by default. If you would like to switch back to the original skin you can just do so by uninstalling the extension "t3skin" in the Extension Manager.
Quickstart and Testsite packages
- Notice that the "Quickstart" and the "Testsite" packages are no longer provided. Instead, you can get them as a T3D file which can be imported using the Import/Export extension. See https://typo3.org/download/ for details.
This list contains all features und bugfixes from 4-dev to 4.0.1
Past Release Notes
If you have skipped one or more versions while upgrading to this version, please make sure to read the ReleaseNotes of these versions as well.

The Experience at Koele, Lanai
***The Experience at Koele is now closed. Guest and visitors can play the Manele Golf Course at Four Seasons Lanai with tee times starting at 7:30 am.***
From the tee at the first hole, the front nine of The Experience at Koele seems to dance across grass-filled mountain meadows that dominate the landscape. And while it's perched in the lush, green highlands of Lanai away from the ocean, it's The Experience's stunning water features that create an enchanting golf experience.
The seventh hole features a picture-perfect par-3 guarded by water. The short par-4 at No. 8 -- the highest handicap hole -- sits in the middle of its own lake. No. 9 is a great par-5 driving hole and features a green protected by a tiered waterfall.
Then, The Experience's undulating hills come into play. The back nine rises to 2,000 feet -- with steep, forested slopes and elevation changes to match. Spectacular views north across Kalohi Channel to Molokai and east across Auau Channel to Maui are on display after a 150-foot-high cart path climb to the No. 10 tee box.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Larney Ladybirds will be popping their last balloons end of May 2016.
After careful consideration and much deliberation I have decided to hang up my party wings after 6 of the most rewarding and character-forming years of my life. I have learnt so much and met, and worked with the most amazing people. My life path took an unexpected turn at the beginning of the year and I have decided to take a break from the party planning world for a while.

A Track By Track Breakdown Of 'The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill'
"To Zion" (featuring Carlos Santana)
Jo: "Zion" is funny, because Lauryn and I were sitting in the kitchen at the big house, and she came in and was like, "This is what I was thinking in the shower. You know there's an African proverb that kids pick the parents that they come through? So I wrote this down." And I just said Lauryn, this is something that you must do, because me and Kilo tried to write a song about that and failed miserably. I was 24—I didn't have any thoughts about any children. So she told me she had been thinking about this for that beat, which was just a sample. And then we had real drums in there. She wrote "Zion" lyrically on her own; it was something that she needed to write.
Kilo: I did all the arrangements—the "marching, marching to Zion"—while she was in the booth. When she was in the booth singing the words, I was already creating the arrangements to go behind her words. When she finished one verse, I already had the backgrounds ready for that verse.
"Doo Wop (That Thing)"
Jo: The last few verses we were sparring—"Quick to shoot the semen/Stop acting like boys and be men"—I was coming up with lines like that. I would give her an idea—the rhythm I was concerned about, changing her rhythm. We just started painting pictures, just saying words that rhyme. Lauryn's really responsible for the way that one goes—she said she wanted to do a doo wop song. I was like, you wanna rap on that? Every song had a piece of Jamaica in it—every time you hear horns it was Jamaica, strings were probably New York. We sat down and did the majority at Chung King [Studio, in New York]. One night, I was like Lauryn, let's write a song about a pregnant girl, and she was like, "I don't know if I want to do that." She was like, why don't we talk about a friend, like a guy—"Remember he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins?"—and suddenly we just started adding to it, but we didn't have a hook. That thing. She was like, "Okay." We were looking for a single, and it turned out to be the first single. Every piece had a piece of Jamaica in it.
Kilo: We actually got it from a doo wop record. There was one song where the piano was really similar, and then the whole "Yeah yeah," all of that was just hot. And in Jamaica they had the live horns put on it. That's me singing—I'm the one that goes, [Sings] that real low note, all that in the background. That was fun.
Jo: That was me and my brother's total collaboration as far as producers. She kinda had those chords, and it sounded weird to me. Then she put the clav on it, and I was like, this sounds like "Light My Fire." Every time, I would tell her that. And now I know what she was going for, but it sounded like "Light My Fire." All she was missing was that jazz riff. She was like "Okay," and added it in. I thought that was a smart idea if we could get the clearance. It was giving homage. I was a teenage kid who loved The Doors.
"Final Hour"
Jo: We wrote that over an Aretha Franklin break beat, and then she decided to get Premier to do the beat. But me and [Lauryn] wrote it.
Kilo: It had three different beats—we had all kinds of beats while she was doing "Final Hour." That was one of those songs that she was kind of piecing together raps, it came together with different raps. It wasn't just, let me sit down and write "Final Hour." She had several pieces of paper and she would just grab it and keep going. [Laughs]

Before we get started with this weeks "what did you do to prep this week" (week #160 btw), I would like to thank – Self Reliant Granny, Glenn D, Randy S, Sherry S, Peter W, Kelli M, Vanessa M and Ron R for their generous donations this week. Thank you.
If you want to make a donation you can do that here…
Over the past few days I've had three readers send emails asking if I had a "recommended products page" and usually, when there are two or three that send emails with the same question, there are several more with the same question that are afraid to ask, so for those who want to know here is my recommended products page, also in the top navigation links under the blog header.
Okay, what else… I know that most of you hate Facebook and I don't blame you – I don't like Facebook either, but we do have a "Facebook Page" where I place links to news and other stuff, if you do Facebook then take a look and "Like" the page. The reason that I have the page up is to funnel traffic from Facebook, back to TheSurvivalistBlog.net.
Most days we get about 200 click-throughs from Facebook but a few days ago we got a burst of over 10,000 – I still have no idea what happened…
Now, let me see – what did I do to prep this week?
And I also ordered this Tuf-Tug Capacity Cable Hoist/Puller – 4000 Lbs. and this Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Germ Laboratory and renewed my subscription to SecureAnywhere AntiVirus.
Well that's it for me this week – how about you… what did you do to prep this week?

800-pound Gorilla
7, 2002
by TrogL
The Late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau likened
Canada's proximity to the United States to "living next to
an elephant. You pay attention when it rolls over."
Those were the good old days. These days that analogy isn't
nearly nasty enough. I had considered entitling this article
'King Kong'. However, King Kong came off as a rather sympathetic
and misunderstood figure, trapped atop the Empire State Building
(or in the 1976 movie, the Twin Towers, so let's not go there)
harried to death by ant-like figures.
How about "the 800-pound gorilla".
We've all seen tribes of gorillas on nature shows like National
Geographic. Everyone is sitting quietly pretty much minding
their own business. Suddenly one gorilla, the big ugly one,
the Alpha male, jumps up, starts bellowing and pounding his
chest, then charges shrieking into battle, trampling everything
in his way. A few cuffs to the offending tribe-mate, usually
a smaller male, then everything is back to normal, until the
next time. Sometimes it's not a few cuffs - somebody gets
That's how America is seen internationally.
America wants what it wants, when it wants it and will do
anything to get it. Anybody standing in the way had better
look out.
George W. Bush thinks he's an Alpha male and that he speaks
for America, the Alpha male of countries. He's just finished
thumping his chest and bellowing away, grouping Iran, Iraq
and North Korea together as an "Axis of evil". He's gone into
Afghanistan, wreaking carnage and havoc, accomplishing very
little (most of his targets had long since fled, and bin Laden
is nowhere to be found). Now he's growling at other countries,
saying "play by my rules, or you're next".
This, in in my view, is what happened in Afghanistan. Bush
Inc. said "let us lay our pipeline or else!" Bin laden retaliated
with the attacks of Sept. 11th. Alpha male Bush, perceiving
a challenge to his authority, invaded.
Bush says it's a "war on terrorism". An article
at Common Dreams notes the remarks of Noam Chomsky addressing
the second World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
He questioned the US government's moral right to undertake
such a war when Washington itself is guilty of promoting and
implementing terrorism internationally on many occasions in
the past.
"If one looked at the official definition of terrorism,
it would be identical to the official definition of US foreign
policy," Chomsky said to wild cheers from the audience.
The current campaign against terrorism, he pointed out,
is being run by US officials who in the mid-1980s were themselves
responsible for running an international campaign of terrorism
against leftist-run countries in Latin America and the Middle
In our tribe of gorillas, the Alpha male once again tries
to exert his power, but other gorillas rise up against him
and drive him from the tribe.
Bush is rapidly losing face in the international community.
Tony Blair faces opposition at home. The Canadian Parliament
has been preoccupied with the treatment of Afghan Prisoners
of War.
The BBC reports
A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman described Mr
Bush's State of the Union address as "little short of a declaration
of war".
In a statement from the foreign ministry, Pyongyang said
Washington's recent problems were "entirely attributable to
the unilateral and self-opinionated foreign policy, political
immaturity and moral leprosy of the Bush administration".
South Korea would prefer talks to continue with the North
and Iran has been the subject of recent British diplomatic
The British Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, has said Britain
will continue its dialogue with reformists in Iran, while
sending what he called "strong messages" to hard-line elements
within the government.
The European Union also has a policy of engagement with
the authorities in Tehran, which the BBC's Middle East analyst
Roger Hardy says they have no intention of abandoning.
King Kong, midunderstood, besieged by an angry world, or
the 800-pound gorilla, lord of the forest through threats,
intimidation, violence and death.
You decide.

We are in the midst of two ages – the Information Age of laptops, tablets, smart phones and social networking, and the Anthropocene Age, defined by an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity caused by human activity.
How it works
This exhibit will demonstrate how scientists can harness the technology from the Information Age to help monitor and respond to environmental change and biodiversity loss. Using pioneering computational methods, scientists can obtain data on where species are found and the size of their population, and use software applications and statistical models to predict where they will be found in future. This information is essential to understanding the potential changes in an ecosystem under different scenarios.
From smartphones to satellites, human technology can be used to monitor, model and respond to threats to our global environment. Camera technology can be used to identify and observe the diversity of animals in a particular area, sending the information directly to a mobile phone application.
By receiving a constant stream of information, scientists can produce accurate local models of biodiversity, and changes can be quickly identified to create accurate global models. The information can then be shared with scientists around the world, enabling a coordinated global response to biodiversity loss.

The Wall Street Journal peels back another layer of the NSA surveillance onion with an exclusive report:
The National Security Agency—which possesses only limited legal authority to spy on U.S. citizens—has built a surveillance network that covers more Americans' Internet communications than officials have publicly disclosed, current and former officials say. The system has the capacity to reach roughly 75% of all U.S. Internet traffic in the hunt for foreign intelligence, including a wide array of communications by foreigners and Americans. In some cases, it retains the written content of emails sent between citizens within the U.S. and also filters domestic phone calls made with Internet technology, these people say.
More details on "filtering" capabilities and processes. Note well the bits about content interception and data storage:
The NSA's filtering, carried out with telecom companies, is designed to look for communications that either originate or end abroad, or are entirely foreign but happen to be passing through the U.S. But officials say the system's broad reach makes it more likely that purely domestic communications will be incidentally intercepted and collected in the hunt for foreign ones...This filtering takes place at more than a dozen locations at major Internet junctions in the U.S., officials say. Previously, any NSA filtering of this kind was largely believed to be happening near points where undersea or other foreign cables enter the country....The NSA is focused on collecting foreign intelligence, but the streams of data it monitors include both foreign and domestic communications. Inevitably, officials say, some U.S. Internet communications are scanned and intercepted, including both "metadata" about communications, such as the "to" and "from" lines in an email, and the contents of the communications themselves. Much, but not all, of the data is discarded, meaning some communications between Americans are stored in the NSA's databases, officials say. Some lawmakers and civil libertarians say that, given the volumes of data NSA is examining, privacy protections are insufficient.
Libertarians will argue that the State's power to monitor citizens has reached Orwellian heights and must be scaled back. National security hawks may retort that keeping America safe in a world brimming with ever-changing, asymmetrical threats requires the government to aggressively leverage technology -- if only to keep pace with our enemies. These issues aren't easy. On one hand, the omniscience of Big Brother is an undeniable threat to citizens' liberties, perhaps at present, and certainly in the future. On the other hand, the Constitution mandates that the federal government provide for the common defense. Our intelligence personnel work 'round-the-clock to protect us, knowing full well that a single successful catastrophic attack would cost innocent lives and touch of a round of nasty recriminations. How should America's leaders balance these competing realities? The Republican Party is in the midst of a wrenching debate over that very question. But here's where both sides can agree: The overall opacity, misleading statements, and flat-out dishonesty of some government officials regarding domestic surveillance is a real problem. Of course a strong national security posture requires secrets that must be withheld from the public, and those who unlawfully leak these secrets must face consequences severe enough to deter others from following suit. That's why I shed no tears for Bradley Manning, and precious few for Edward Snowden -- although, without some of the latter's disclosures, many of today's concerns would remain in the shadows. All that being said, the president went on national television earlier this month and assured Americans, "we do not have a domestic spying program:"
"If you look at the reports, even the disclosures that Mr. Snowden's put forward, all the stories that have been written, what you're not reading about is the government actually abusing these programs and, you know, listening in on people's phone calls or inappropriately reading people's emails. What you're hearing about is the prospect that these could be abused. Now part of the reason they're not abused is because they're -- these checks are in place, and those abuses would be against the law and would be against the orders of the FISC."
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who did not receive a copy of the 2012 audit until The Post asked her staff about it, said in a statement late Thursday that the committee "can and should do more to independently verify that NSA's operations are appropriate, and its reports of compliance incidents are accurate."
