Mourning the Death of a
Loved One
Is the Same for Both Humans and Other Animals
Surviving the Pain of Pet Loss
Niki Behrikis Shanahan
When my husband and I lost our beloved cat, Pete, we were devastated! He was so wonderful and such a joy to be with! We often called him ôThe Baby.ö We adopted Pete when he was 8 years old and when he passed away he was 21. In his later years he developed renal failure and ultimately passed away from a heart attack. My mother, knowing how much Pete means to us, came over to our house immediately to comfort us. Itĺs very painful, there are many tears, and two years later I still miss him so very much. I think of him every day.
Michael is a Massachusetts state trooper. His partner, Granite, a 2 Ż year old black Labrador, was struck and killed by a car at the start of the Boston Marathon. Granite had bolted from Michaelĺs car before he could leash the K-9. Michael was so distraught at the scene that his wife drove there immediately to console him. Michael said, ôI donĺt think there are any words that can explain the loss. Some people say itĺs your partner, but partners go home at the end of your shift, and donĺt come home and sleep on your pillow, on your bed or at your feet.ö
How do we bear it? How do we cope? This is the time that most of us turn to our faith in God to bring us through. We look to our Creator for strength, comfort and a greater hope for a future life in heaven. The good news is that He doesnĺt let us down! When we look in the Bible we see that God has made provision for our eternal life. And, if we look at the scriptures closely, weĺll see that it includes all the animals! So we should focus on the happiness that the future holds for us when we are reunited in heaven.
There are scriptures revealing that all the animals go to heaven, such as Psalms 36:6 which says that God preserves man and animals. None of us are preserved in this life so itĺs easy to see that this refers to an afterlife in heaven. You can pray and ask God to give you peace and to soften your grief. Donĺt dwell on the painful memories. Instead, picture your beloved pet in heaven running around, playing, and having a wonderful time. Channel your thoughts to a beautiful vision of your baby running in fields of flowers and having fun with all the other animals in paradise.
A good way to overcome your pain is to help another pet. There are so many beautiful animal companions just waiting for a wonderful parent like you and a happy home! The shelters are filled with them. You can save a life and they can help to save you. Animal companions bring so much joy and happiness that itĺs often hard to decide whose helping whom the most. Theyĺll help to distract you from your loss. The day after Pete passed away my husband and I were both in the dining room crying and trying to console each other. Suddenly I looked out the window and there was Joey, the stray cat that we had been feeding. He was running down the steep driveway across the street, and he was headed right for our yard! It broke the heart wrenching moment, and turned our attention to someone who needed us. I immediately went out to see him and gave him something to eat. Shortly thereafter we adopted him and now heĺs part of our family!
There are also many resources on the Internet for pet loss. One is Moira Allenĺs website www.pet-loss.net which includes a state-by-state directory of support groups, counselors and pet cemeteries. Another site is www.in-memory-of-pets.com , which has tributes, poems and other resources. My website at www.eternalanimals.com includes pet loss support. Itĺs dedicated to the appreciation of pets and animals with a focus on animal afterlife from a Christian perspective. You are welcome to submit prayer requests for sick animal companions and grieving parents.
To survive the heartbreak of your loss, trust in God for help, take charge of your thoughts and focus them on positive things, and help a lost and lonely pet thatĺs waiting for you today!

of 180°C until the flaky pastry becomes golden brown.
As starters: fettunta, black Tuscan toasts, vegetables pies,

Thank you everyone for your support and tips on fighting back against plagiarism! Naturally, I'm flattered by a citing now and then as long as there is clear attribution, but the web site in question has actually stolen DOZENS of my posts, including the associated images (even of my kids!), and was so brazen even to lift my original category names: "Scrutinizing the Diabetes News," "Diabetes Bulletin Board," "Self-Disclosure" and so on. Wankers!!
Anyway, based on all the great input, here's what I've done about it so far (in case this should ever happen to you):
- contacted WordPress (their blog host software) and Google AdWords (their source of revenue!) to report the abuse
- filed a DMCA notice (formal complaint) with the domain name host, in this case GoDaddy.com. What I learned is that under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, which protects intellectual property, injured parties can file a detailed complaint for review by the Web host. If the host indeed detects copyright infringement, they will issue a warning and can even shut down the offending site if necessary. I'm told GoDaddy will need a few days to review my case. Should you ever need to create a DMCA notice of your own, there's a sample HERE.
- shortened my RSS feed to include summaries only, rather than entire posts. I feel like this shouldn't be necessary, since to my mind the feeds are intended for readers, and certainly do not give anyone permission to republish substantial material without consent. But I'm told that doing this helps curb content theft. So I'm on board.
- other ideas?
In addition, I wanted to clarify my reference to BlogBurst: that service does use clear attribution, and bloggers have to register to be included -- which I actually did a while back, without realizing the full consequences. The small print in their agreement has you signing away a lot of your rights, which has a number of bloggers up in arms.
But I'm not bothered too much by BlogBurst, because I think it will be rare that a newspaper picks up my (niche) diabetes content -- and when they might, it will hopefully just help other people affected by diabetes find me.
It's the stealing crap that I'm mad about!

Honors for Clemson Legends
Legendary coaches Bill Wilhelm and Danny Ford will be inducted into the Clemson Athletics Ring of Honor this fall. The announcement was made Friday by Ring of Honor Committee Chairman Tim Bourret. Both will be recognized at a Clemson home football game this season. Wilhelm, who will be inducted posthumously, also will be honored at a Clemson baseball game next spring.
The Ring of Honor is the highest award bestowed by the Clemson Athletic department. An inductee must be a member of the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame, have an undergraduate degree from a four-year institution, and have made a significant impact on the heritage of Clemson athletic history.
The home radio booth at Clemson Memorial Stadium will be named in honor of Jim Phillips at a home football game this fall. Phillips was the "Voice of the Tigers" for 35 years between 1968 and 2003. He died suddenly the Monday after broadcasting the Clemson vs. Furman game in Memorial Stadium on September 8, 2003.
Phillips' voice was synonymous with many of the great moments of Clemson sports history. His career behind the microphone spanned eight Clemson football coaches and six Clemson basketball coaches. He broadcast 401 Clemson football games and over 1000 men's basketball games. He missed just one game in Littlejohn Coliseum over his 35 seasons behind the microphone. Combined with his work with baseball and women's basketball, he broadcast over 2000 Clemson sporting events.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We were staying 4 nights in Salvatore's nice appartment. We didn't arrive before 11pm, but it wasn't a problem for him to hand out the keys at such a late hour. He also gave us some starting advice for our stay, where to go etc. The appartment was clean, newly renovated with modern kitchen and bathroom and within walking distance of the train station and old town. On the downside it was quite noisy (good windows that muffle the street noises though) and unfortunately the WiFi didn't work most of the time (although Salvatore did his best to solve the problem). We definitely can recommend a stay there! Thank you :)
Cher Salvatore merci pour tout! Super nice apartment near the station at rue jean médecin. The apartment we quickly found and were greeted by very friendly Salvatore. The handing over the keys, and the stay went problemlos.Die apartment was very clean and the beds were terrific (we slept for a long time not as good as in Nice) We enjoyed the time in "our" little apartment and felt almost at home. Since the apartment is located in a beautiful side street, and felt we saw the "real" life and the life of Nice. This stay was memorable from beginning to end! Merci!
Cher Salvatore merci pour tout!!
Super schöne Wohnung in der Nähe des Bahnhofes an der rue jean médecin. Das Appartement fanden wir schnell und wurden sehr freundlich von Salvatore begrüsst. Die Schlüssel übergabe, sowie der Aufenthalt verlief problemlos.Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und die Betten waren grandios (wir schliefen schon lange nicht mehr so gut wie in Nizza) Wir genossen die Zeit in "unserem" kleinen Appartment und fühlten uns schon fast heimisch. Da das Appartement in einer schönen Seitengasse liegt, fühlten und sahen wir das "eigentliche" Leben und den Alltag Nizzas.
Dieser Aufenthalt war unvergesslich vom Anfang bis zum Schluss! Merci!
This apartment was very nice. We were 8 people, and this was one too much. The sofabed is not suitable for two persons, so absolute maximum for this apartment is seven people (as the site states). Other than that this was perfect. Beautiful apartment, very close to the promenade and the the beach. Salvatore was very helpful before and during our stay.
Clean apartment very well located simple and pleasant home was given the opportunity to arrange for the departure time, top!
Appartement propre très bien situé accueil simple et agréable
On a eu la possibilité de s'arranger pour l'heure du départ, top!
beautiful apartment, we were surprised to see that the reality was worthy photos! spacious, very comfortable, look the only thing we have not found, c is the washing machine ... for a weekend this is not serious but can be for longer it can be missed! Lovely location, including bakery facing the mmeuble! no complaints!
superbe appartement, on a été surpris de voir que la réalité était digne des photos!!!
spacieux, très confortable, attention la seule chose que nous n avons pas trouvé, c est le lave linge... pour un weekend ce n est pas grave mais peut etre pour plus longtemps ça peut manquer!!!
quartier génial, notamment la boulangerie face à l mmeuble!
rien à redire!!!
Thank you very much for your hospitality! The apartment is well located and also very well equipped! Perfect for a couple! I highly recommend the apartment!
Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil!
L'appartement est bien situé et aussi très bien équipé! Parfait pour un couple!
Je recommande vivement l'appartement!
the first nice location u can walk to beach with in 5 mins that is the great part to me
me and my wife we almost spent time on the beach in nice of course u can
go old town it's little fat away but i only went to old town 1time only
if u stay in nice , i think u dont wanna do any thing just wanna lay down on the
beach So here is the best way in nice
We had a great stay in Nice, the property is very close to the tram, train, bike hire and a 10-15 minute walk to the old town. It is also close to a supermarket (monoprix) so we saved money cooking after a day on the beach. The apartment was clean, simplistic and with a spacious living area and the host was very flexible with our arrival and departure times.
Warm 2nd time I come ..... In addition the sheets and towels ..... For me the top
Accueil chaleureux 2émes fois que je viens .....En plus les draps et linges.....Pour moi le top
The host is service-minded, reliable and flexible. The apartment was small though fulfilled all the basic requirements, incl. a reasonably comfortable bed, basic kitchen and a surprisingly nice bathroom and toilet. Though the furniture is mainly IKEA quality (or lack thereof) it is a good place to spend a weekend in walking distance from the promenade (5 min), place Massena (15 min) and the old city (18 min). It's even got a Blue Bikes (Velobleue) station right next to the entrance. Even though the street outside is heavily trafficed, the windows blocked most of the noise and we had a lovely time in Nice. I can recommend a stay at Blvd Grosso for any young couple on a low budget trip to Nice.

[1]A photo that shows a man in Connecticut in flight is putting the Wright Brothers' claim to being the first to fly into doubt.
The photo of Gustave Whitehead — a German immigrant in Connecticut — is on in the background of another photo of a 1906 exhibition, reports Newser[2].
The photo, if confirmed, would corroborate a 1901 story about Whitehead's flight. Published in Connecticut, the story claims that Whitehead flew for more than one-half mile at a height of 40 feet. That would have been two years earlier than Orville and Wilbur Wright's flight in Kitty Hawk, N.C.
While the editor of Jane's All the World's Aircraft believes the photo confirms Whitehead's flight, experts at the Smithsonian disagree. People from the Smithsonian — who are required to maintain that the Wright's flight was first as a condition of accepting their original plane in 1948 — say the picture is indistinct and proof of nothing.

Several counties in our backyard will soon be part of the national Strike Force Initiative, a move to help rural poor counties like those in Appalachia.
The US Department of Agriculture announced Friday the initiative will help several counties in Tennessee, 73 counties in Kentucky, and dozens more in West Virginia and Louisiana.
Strike Force has helped more than 80,000 projects since 2010. It helps communities take advantage of resources available to them and how that money could be used to help rural areas.

The umbrella group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) today warned against any cover-up in the probe of the death of Dutch NGO worker Willem Geertman even as an increasing number of people appear doubtful of the conduct of the investigation of the Philippine National Police. The group said that Bayan and allied groups in Europe are now spearheading efforts to support the "Justice for Willem" campaign in the Philippines. Dutch and Filipino human rights advocates and friends of Willem are set to hold a vigil on Friday 10:30am at the PH embassy in The Hague, Netherlands.
"From various testimonies, it would appear that the killing of Geertman is not a simple case of robbery. From an eyewitness account, there are indications that he may have been executed. This angle must be relentlessly pursued by the investigators," said Bayan secretary general Renato M. Reyes, Jr.
"If Geertman was indeed targeted as witnesses suggest, the only plausible reason right now is his social involvement. He was an NGO worker involved in poor peasant communities. He had run-ins with the military and powerful interest groups. All these should be considered in the investigation. For the PNP to rush to conclude that the killing is a mere robbery with homicide may be a cover up of the truth," Reyes added.
Bayan called on the Aquino government to "take decisive action" on the issue of extrajudicial killings. An independent probe is now necessary, according to the group.
"The Aquino regime has shown indifference towards extrajudicial killings, preferring to deal with the public relations consequences instead of eliminating the roots of the problem. The Aquino government encourages extrajudicial killings via its counter-insurgency programs and the utter lack of accountability within the military establishment," Reyes said.
"Aquino will definitely be pressed on human rights issues in his upcoming SONA. He has not shown any interest in the matter, preferring instead to pamper the military. He has left the matter to his spokespersons to deal with. He hasn't shown even half the interest as he had in the Corona impeachment," he added
Bayan has worked with Geertman on many relief missions in Central Luzon, especially among peasant communities ravaged by typhoons. Just last year, Bayan and the Alay Bayan Inc, where Geertman is executive director, held a relief mission in Aurora and Nueva Ecija for the victims of Typhoon Pedring.
The killing of Geertman comes a month after the Philippine government participated in the United Nations Universal Periodic Review process wherein its rights record was scrutinized by the members of the UN Human Rights Council. At least 23 countries, many of them European Union states, pressed the PH government to eliminate extrajudicial killings.
Geertman is the second European NGO/Community worker killed under Aquino, after the killings of Fr. Fausto Tentorio in Mindanao last year.
"The Dutch government and the EU should press the PH government to address the killing of Geertman. Two years into the Aquino government and still no headway when it comes to human rights. The EU spent 4 million Euros for the human rights programs in the Philippines yet the situation remains fundamentally unchanged," Reyes said. ###

I've been noticing a definite shift in my menstrual cycles. I'm trying to figure out if it's an "age thing" or something to do with my diet, or related to stress, and if it is an "age thing" (I'm 38), if it means that I'm approaching menopause, or if it means menopause could still be 15 years away.
I've been charting my cycles pretty carefully since my oldest was a baby. At times I did it to avoid pregnancy (with or without barrier methods during my fertile time) and at times I did it just to keep in touch with my body. I've been using Fertilty Friend for years, and now I stick with it because it has all my data. Here's the link to my chart (I hope this works!) [url=http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/15954/]My Ovulation Chart[/url]
I haven't taken my basal body temperature in years- I find it an incredibly hassle, so I only bothered with it when I was TTA (trying to avoid pregnancy). But based on cervical mucus (CM)and cervical position (CP) I just don't see how I could have ovulated any later than day 16 this month.
That leaves me with a 16 day luteal phase! All my life, I've had 14 day LPs, except the first few cycles after having a baby, when my LPs would be 12 or 13 days. But I've never had an LP longer than 14 days, up until a few months ago. At first, I wasn't sure- maybe I didn't chart carefully enough and I miscalculated ovulation. Maybe I didn't ovulate at all that month. But I paid much closer attention this month and it does, indeed, seem that my LP is longer than it used to be.
Is this a normal change for a 38 year old woman? What's going on with my body?

Revolution Church — which was founded by Jay Bakker and has followed him from Phoenix to Atlanta to New York City to its present home in Minneapolis — is a unique faith community. Yes, it's small (at least in person; its online footprint, via the podcast, is much larger). But the people who attend are there for something that very few churches offer, and that's brutal, unadulterated honesty. That's what Jay brings each week, and that's what those who attend are hoping for.
I cannot claim to be as honest or humble as Jay, but when he asks me to guest preach, I try to get in touch with my Inner Jay. That's what I did last Sunday, in a talk entitled, "Should We Be Afraid of Atheism."
Jay talks openly about his doubts. Several times, I've heard him admit at Revolution that he doubts daily whether God exists. At many churches, this would be disconcerting (see, for example, where the Archbishop of Canterbury admits his own doubts), but at Revolution, that's the very thing that people come to hear.
I, too, doubt God's existence — though less today than I used to. But that's not what I talked about last Sunday. Instead, I talked about the doubts of others, and whether atheism is part of the legacy of the emerging church movement.

The government is expected to announce a £5 increase in the TV licence fee on Tuesday, to provide the BBC with extra resources for the digital age.
The rise, taking the licence to £106 a year, follows a long-running row over whether the BBC needed the extra cash or was running a suffi ciently transparent financial regime.
The independent TV companies, such as BSkyB, will be delighted that the Government has dropped plans to levy a £24 surcharge on users of digital TV. This would have raised £200m a year.
The Industry Secretary Stephen Byers had warned that the levy would set back the British digital industry and delay the switch to digital services. There had been strong support for the BBC call for a digital levy within Downing Street.
The BBC had claimed it needed £800m extra revenue but Chris Smith, the Culture Secretary, had been frustrated at the inabilty of the BBC to spell out in detail how this money would be spent.
There had been widespread criticism of the money the BBC had been spending on its News 24 rolling news programme. Smith believed the programme was a transitory form of news and said the BBC was better investing in BBC OnLine, its ground-breaking web news service.
Smith found the new BBC Director General Greg Dyke to be more willing to negotiate over the details of BBC finances. His predecessor John Birt kept insisting on the full £800m, provoking a scathing report from the Culture Select Committee chaired by Gerald Kaufman.
Doubts had been raised about the legality, under EU law, of a digital levy, with warnings it might be interpreted as a form of state aid.

Few venues can boast settings as unique as those of Villa Maria's Auckland winery.Located inside the crater of a 20,000 year old extinct volcano, the Auckland winery sits nestled among rows of vines, and lies close to the magnificent Manukau Harbour. The shape of the land itself provides a natural amphitheatre for concerts and events.
Situated only five minutes from Auckland International Airport, yet at the same time only 25 minutes from Auckland's CBD, it is the perfect location for staging the already renowned "Villa Maria Summer Concert Series".

Journal of College and Character invites Fallon participation
YPSILANTI - Eastern Michigan University President John A. Fallon, III will chronicle 14 days in his life as part of the Journal of College and Character's Presidents' Public Diaries series.
"The Presidential Public Diaries are intended to provide personal perspectives on the nature of value conflicts that presidents confront in their roles, how they approach ethical issues and the values that guide their decision making," said Jon Dalton, editor of the Journal.
The Journal of College and Character is an on-line journal that publishes research, reflection, educational strategies and resources on how colleges and universities can be more effective in encouraging the moral and ethical development of college students. It is published by the Center for the Study of Values in College Student Development at Florida State University.
Fallon, who joined Eastern Michigan University July 18 as its 21st president, said he found the idea of keeping a public diary "both fascinating and challenging."
"A significant portion of every president's day is spent on issues such as budget, raising money, strategic planning, bonding and facilities where the thought process and language are very corporate. This exercise will allow me to reflect and share the value and ethical underpinnings of those decisions. The challenge will be finding the time to squeeze one more activity into the day," Fallon said.
Fallon's began his diary Sept. 7 and will continue it through Sept. 20. His diaries will be published in the October edition of the Journal, which can be found at www.collegevalues.org. The entries will also be posted on Fallon's Web site, www.emich.edu/president.

The Minnesota congresswoman referred to a decision by the Obama administration to allow vetted Syrian rebels not affiliated with terrorist organizations to help them resist chemical weapons attacks, which was spurred by the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons on civilians.
While the administration's move is only related to non-lethal, defensive and protective aid, Bachmann falsely claimed that "President Obama waived a ban on selling arms to terrorists."
"President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition," Bachmann said [to radio host and 'Bible prophecy teacher/presenter' Jan Markell]. "Your listeners, US taxpayers, are now paying to give arms to terrorists including Al Qaeda...now what this says to me, I'm a believer in Jesus Christ, as I look at the End Times scripture, this says to me that the leaf is on the fig tree and we are to understand the signs of the times...we are to understand where we are in God's end times history."

"Shoot him in the knee!"
"I'll have some salts and some whiskey please. And some cake. And do you stock mantraps?"
"Do you have a goat we can borrow?"
The above quotes were all uttered by the player characters during this session, and it just goes to show that despite a change of scenery and a new adventure, my players still manage to come up with some way of throwing me.
|This session a terrifying beast threatens the investigators... this isn't it.
The last session ended with the Yoo brothers transported back in time thanks to a mystical painting, and our party resting after their encounter with a mad artist and his frail old mother, who just happened to also be an eight-foot-tall intelligent and murderous lizard.
This session started with the investigators awaking to discover that Miles Shipley, who they had taken back to their hotel with them had died in the night, courtesy of Harry Crum's rather aggressive means of getting him to sleep. That brings the "callous murder count" for Harry up to three. I sometimes wonder if the world is in more danger from our heroes than it is from the nefarious schemes of the Elder Gods.
After the regulation SAN checks the investigators discussed what they were going to do about Miles' body. It took them less than thirty seconds to decide to load it into the laundry chute in the hotel corridor!
Shortly after the phone rang. It was the hotel reception telling them that they had a visitor, and Harry who had answered told them to send the person up to their room. After a few minutes there was a knock at the door, and Harry answered with his weapon drawn. It's nice to see such healthy paranoia developing already!
Their mysterious visitor was Cutter, newly arrived from New York following his hospital recovery from a case of poisoning. The group brought Cutter up to speed with everything that had happened, and Cutter was able to inform them that there had been a second attempt on Lt Martin Poole's life in New York, and that there had been something big happening in Harlem.
It was time to decide how to proceed. The leads from the Shipley household had died out (quite literally), so the group laid out their options in a methodical manner. There was Inspector James Barrington of Scotland Yard to follow up, the Penhew Foundation continued to nag at their thoughts, and the story from Derbyshire that Jackson Elias had shown an interest in.
Displaying their newly honed paranoia once more the investigators decided to check out and switch to a new hotel before continuing their work. On the way to the new hotel on the Embankment, Willard stopped to use a telephone at a local post office to make an anonymous report to the police, informing them of the dungeon and fell deeds of Holbein Mews.
Harry decided to go get himself checked over at the hospital following his recent exertions (being stabbed and shot), and Cutter decided to get involved and headed to Scotland Yard to interview Inspector Barrington. After a long wait he finally got a chance to meet the inspector, but he didn't get very far. Barrington was too busy investigating the Egyptian murders to help with a murder case from New York (Elias'). Cutter didn't pick up on the hint and left Barrington to get on with things.
Willard and Sebastian decided to head back to the Penhew Foundation and luck was with them. Gavigan was available and saw them in his impressive office once again. They showed him the strange scrolls they had found in the basement of Holbein Mews, explaining that they had been part of an inheritance. Gavigan feigned disinterest (though Sebastian's psychology roll showed he was actually very interested), and offered to buy the scrolls for £100 as they were certainly ancient and might find a place in the Penhew collection.
Willard and Sebastian decided not to sell the scrolls and headed back to their hotel, but not before heading to a bar and trying to see if they were being followed. There was that paranoia again!
A fruitless day ended with the investigators regrouping and resting for the night at the new hotel. The next morning's papers put pay to their plans though, with the headline of the Scoop screaming "Local artist found murdered in hotel laundry!" The group wisely decided to get out of London for a few days and head up to Lesser Edale in Derbyshire to investigate the reports of a strange beast wandering the hills, and so an hour later they were at St Pancras, boarding a train to Derby.
Six hours after that the group had arrived in Lesser Edale after hiring a car in Derby and driving through the picturesque countryside. The weather was poor with a howling wind and heavy rain, so the investigators parked up and headed straight into the local pub, The Laughing Horse.
Shortly after booking a room and ordering some hot food it was time for me to impress the players with my superb South Yorkshire accent (funnily enough they didn't seem that impressed!). The arrival of Hubert Tumwell, the local police officer started off a conversation about recent events and the death of Lydia Parkins and the attack on Harold Short. At this point a shadowy figure who had been resting in a corner chair by the fire joined in.
|What did you say the inn was called again?
The newcomer was Hubert Reginald Yew, a field researcher and author of "The Modern Monster - Lycanthropy in the City". He was also the new player-character of Mr Yoo's player. He tried to convince everyone that they needed to hunt the wild beast down, though Tumwell insisted he had shot it during the last attack and it hadn't been seen since.
At that point a well-dressed young man entered the bar, ordered a drink and sat down with a few friends. It was Lawrence Vane, son of the local lord who resided in Castle Plum on the bluff overlooking the village. Paranoid suspicions were instantly alerted by Lawrence's gruff response to questions, and the players became convinced that Lawrence was behind the attacks (with Hubert sagely adding that he was likely a werewolf!).
After suffering several minutes eyeballing by Harry, Lawrence left the inn. By this time it had gotten dark and the wind had picked up. Shortly after Lawrence left there was a terrifying noise that echoed through the building. A loud howling that seemed to come from all directions at once.
Spurred into action by the inhuman sound the investigators leaped to their feet and ran outside. Cutter used his woodsman skills to track Lawrence's footsteps in the mud outside. The tracks showed that he had started walking towards the castle, but quickly lengthened into a run before the rain obscured the tracks.
The group was undecided on what to do. Several of them wanted to head up to the castle right away and confront Lawrence, whilst others argued that it would be safer to wait until dawn. As they argued in the cold, wet wind I asked them all to make CON checks, and Harry's failure was signalled by a loud sneeze. He was starting to shake with the cold and his nose was turning red.
The investigators headed back inside to continue their discussions, just as the howling noise started again. Andy, the barman chuckled at them, telling them it was just the wind howling through the old lead mine tunnels that ran under the area, but his nervous glances at the windows betrayed his worry.
The terrifying sound seemed to make up their minds, and the investigators decided to bundle into the hired car and head up to Castle Plum, with Harry sneezing and coughing all the way.
When they arrived at the old castle they were greeted by firmly closed heavy wooden doors. The windows were all curtained, though lights could be seen behind them. The entire place had a rather eerie look, not helped by it being silhouetted against the full moon as they approached.
Hubert, ridiculously confident in his assertion that Lawrence was a werewolf and that the inhabitants of the castle needed protection, decided to take the direct approach. He went up to one of the large windows on the north wing and broke it with the butt of his rifle. The ancient glass fell into the castle with a loud crash, and a moment later a door opened at the side of the castle.
A rather startled butler peered out at the group, and Hubert lead the way again, pushing the old man back into what seemed to be a large pantry, despite his protests. For once, Harry, feeling rather sorry for himself, decided to stay in the car where it was warm. It turned out to be a wise decision.
Hubert was on a roll. The butler was soon joined by the elderly Lord Arthur Vane, whose family had owned the castle for generations. His anger at having his house broken into was apparent for all to see, but it did not stop Hubert from declaring them all in danger and checking them for long and pointed eyeteeth!
|Something gave Hubert the idea that Lawrence might be a werewolf...
Lawrence Vane was the next to join the party, alerted by the commotion. He demanded that Hubert unhand his father and leave, and when this did not happen he left the room briefly, only to return with a fencing foil that had the tip removed. The butler had sneaked off during the confrontation and called the local constabulary
There was a stand off between the Vanes and the investigators. Hubert was insisting they all be tied up for their own protection, whilst the rest of the investigators hung back, unsure of how to handle their new companion. Then the sounds of a siren were heard and after a few moments Hubert Tumwell arrived to save the day.
Hubert (Hew, not Tumwell) was promptly arrested and the rest of the group were warned not to make any more trouble and to be at the Laughing Horse in the morning for a dressing down. He drove off, taking Hubert to the police station in Derby, and leaving a shame-faced group of investigators and a furious Vane family behind.
The next morning Hubert Tumwell arrived at the Laughing Horse to give the investigators a piece of his mind. Halfway through a rather comical telling off however the door to the inn burst open and a young man entered. "Quick Hubert, it's happened again!" he shouted (in my best South Yorkshire accent).
Everyone raced outside to a stables that were situated behind the inn. Inside things were messy - something had killed and eviscerated a horse, leaving the torn and bloody remains behind to chip away at the group's sanity. Cutter spotted some bloody canine-like tracks leading away from the stable into the fields, but the rain had once more done it's job and washed them away after a short distance.
Whilst everyone was deciding what to do and Constable Tumwell was organising a clean up, a large man strode up to them angrily. It was the horse dealer John Parkins, owner of the pile of blood and guts in the stable, and also father of Lydia Parkins who had been killed in the first attack. He was furious (and also quite drunk), and blamed Lawrence Vane for the attacks, saying that Tom Corty had seen Vane near to Parkin's house on the night Lydia was killed.
Parkins then proceeded to berate the investigators and everyone else, before veering into a rant about the inequalities of the class system and how landed gentry like the Vanes would never be prosecuted for their crimes. The local reverend (and secretary for the Derwent Valley Order of the Golden Druid), Jeremy Stratton arrived and took Parkins away to console him.
The bus pulled into the village, bringing Hubert back to the group. He had been seen by a magistrate and fined £100 for trespass and damage, with a warning that any future transgression would see him locked up. Something told me that wouldn't be enough of a warning...
Rather than meet back up with the rest of the team Hubert decided that matters required a more direct approach. He collected his belongings and headed up to the hills above the village, but not before purchasing half a lamb from the butchers. Once in place he laid out a trap, using the lamb as bait and a mantrap, and settled down for a long wait under a tarp with a pair of binoculars to see what happened.
The others were coming to a similar conclusion. It was time to hunt the beast down! They made their own preparations and headed up towards Castle Plum in their car, this time determined to wait and watch. As darkness fell a storm came with it and the rain started to lash down. The investigators huddled in the car, straining to see through the misting windows, and trying to avoid Harry's sneezes. Half a mile away Hubert waited patiently.
|...but it's soooooo cute!
Behind the clouds the full moon gave the storm an eerie glow, and before long the terrifying howling started again. Suddenly there was a huge crash, and the roof of the investigators' car crunched down as if something heavy had landed on top....
And there we left it until next time!

When it comes to date nights many of us fall into a textbook definition of "panic attack." No matter how casual or formal the date, what we all want is for the night to be perfect. The butterflies in your stomach are enough to worry about, let alone worrying about your outfit! Having a casual date night is a perfect opportunity to show your personal style without placing an expectation on yourself to be sexy. There are numerous ways that you can dress casual and still show your date your starstruck style.
I spotted this Fashionista as I was leaving my last class of the night and soon discovered that she was going on a first date later that night! The outfit says fun, flirty and was perfect for a first date. This Fashionista started with a long sleeve bohemian paisley printed dress. The color of the dress was a nude color but the pattern was engulfed with dark browns, forest greens, rustic oranges and sky blues. If the dress was only nude it would have washed our Fashionista out because of her skin tone, but the color against the nude makes the color pop and be noticed. Also the structure of the dress is appropriate for a casual date in a couple of ways. First the length of the dress is short enough that the Fashionista can still be feminine but also long enough so she can go out for a night of dancing or some other crazy adventure. The second feature of this dress is that it has a cinched waist and a belt. With a long sleeve dress it can sometimes look as if there is too much fabric. When the waist is defined it takes away that volume and produces a womanly waistline. Add in a belt to accessorize the waist as well. This can range from skinny to chunky depending on how much you want to break up the print. She then added a classic leather jacket to keep the brown color scheme and brought the country to Arizona State with some sassy cowgirl boots. The cowgirl boot is a great shoe that shows personality and that you can get rough and tough when need be.
First dates are nerve-racking for everyone no matter what they say. So instead of trying to be formal and elegant, kick up your boots and show your date that you have style and class without all of the stereotypes. Being casual will give you the chance to show the real you as well as the fabulous Fashionista. Now that sounds like a perfect date to me.
One Simple Change: Grab your favorite oversized cardigan and a fun statement piece to create a country chic look for all of the Country Thunder concerts approaching.

©2012-2017 sakimichan
She's not the original snow white, the one with the black hair... maybe she's another version of her in another dimension or something XD;; I tried different color hair and I think this color goes pretty well,,,,sometimes its nice to try out different combination of colors and see what you like best.
Just painting for fun, inspired by the "Snow White and the Hunts men"Movie. It's not so great on the story line but awesome in costume design and CGI *_*

im sad that everyone likes blonde hair more than black...
So much talent!!! *.* its gorgeous really! The blonde hair work very well, I'm pretty sure it would be as amazing if you do another version of her with black hair By the way, the Kristen Stewert comments are cracking me up xD its sooooo mean, I feel like a horrible person but I've never really liked her either ._. okay, I'm going to confess my sins
Black hair or no black hair I still love it
Prettier than Kristen, beautiful work
At least this one shows more emotion than Kristen Stewart.
Gorgeous! Balanced and beautiful.
i love the hair colour, it works so well! It makes her appear more youthful and full of energy than the original black hair in my opinion- great
Amazing work
I like this hair better qwq
omg why does everyone like the blondish hair more, going through the comments is making me sad, snow white was one of my favorite stories as a child, because of the part where her mother says, hair as black as coal, and lips as red as blood, it didnt have the normal theme of the other disney princess movies, the original snow white had hazel eyes as well, this is an americanized version of her, shows what peoples color preferences are these days,
duude i've just fallen in love
Now that was an epic take on the classic tale.
Snow White from another dimension...I like the idea!
Love how you did the birds in her hair wow.
This Snow White is very beautiful and shows her in a new light. Fantastic!
Shes beautiful, The colors blend fantastically and i really love her look.
It's beautiful, I love the dress... It's a twist on the original.
Very enchanting
whoa loving this image, I mean damn this is good
I think I'm hypnotized just by looking at her eyes.
Stunning work really.
Really beautiful work !
sorry for my bad english. I'm not really speak your language.
sorry for my bad english. I'm not really speak your language.
I love that movie, I love how there are birds coming out of the parting in her hair
So when you say this Snow White from Snow White and the Huntsman is an alternate universe version, you mean one where she was played by someone who actually had acting talent instead of Kristen Stewart?
Unbelievable ! Believe It !!!!!!
wow !
This is so beautiful. I really don't know what else to say but that! I mean...I REALLY love how the birds are coming from her hair =0
i wasn't fond of snow white (except in the graphic novel Fables) but your rendition changed my mind. i just want to 'fave' everything in your gallery! looking forward to seeing your next work
i just haven't words
<3 it!
Beautiful O
OMG The detail is this artwork is breathtaking!
Such a beautiful piece of art. Love it.
Wow. The gold hair makes it really pop!
The eyes are catching!
wow this is gorgeous and Love the hair x
i love this painting, really in this girl i was attracted >_<
i love this painting, really in this girl i was attracted >_<
The awkward moment when you realize you want to draw it out but you know what its not lol! Still like it.
No wonder the queen in the story was jealous, she is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! The texture and everything is so beautiful!
Your skin tones and shadow is just amazing, so soft and smooth, and yet so bold
My god, this is so beautiful!
My icon says it all.

deadmau5 New Album 'while(1<2)' Debuts at iTunes #1 Dance
Never one to take a conventional path, leading electronic music producer and songwriter deadmau5 embarked on a one-of-a-kind road trip leading up to the release of his new album while(1<2) (mau5trap/Astralwerks), out today, Tuesday, June 17. Earlier this month he put the pedal to the metal of his Purrari, his custom Nyan cat-wrapped Ferrari Spider 458 on the Gumball 3000 Rally for a drive from Miami to Ibiza and raised hundreds upon thousands of dollars contributed towards it's charity The Gumball Foundation. His heavily chronicled escapades--which fans were able to follow in real time via his live.deadmau5.com platform-- garnered him the prestigious 'Spirit Of The Gumball' Award. It also helped to propel while(1<2) to debut at at #1 dance and #4 overall iTunes charts today. Look for the album to be available physically and via streaming services on Tuesday, June 24. Also stay tuned for news of a limited edition vinyl coming soon.
Leading up to while(1<2)-a double-album collection of 25 tracks that together he truly feels is his first proper artist release--deadmau5made four key tracks off the album available. First there was "Avaritia," which premiered on Pete Tong's Radio One show in mid-May. "He's back. The internet menace Joel Zimmerman, aka deadmau5 has returned," observed Lucas Sachs of YourEDM (5/17/14). "This exclusive preview of 'Avaritia' is derived from Pete Tong's radio show and a sample from the upcoming album; and let me be the first to express my excitement just with this first sneak-peek. A throbbing bass-line is amplified by the beautiful madness that are mau5′s percussion lines and organic synth atmosphere."
Next came "Seeya," with its rare vocal tracks courtesy of new mau5trap signing Colleen D'Agastino. "With a throbbing backbone, pitch-perfect vocals, and an irresistible dance-along chorus, this is feel good music at its coolest. And, well, it should be blasting now, tomorrowand all.summer.long", wrote NYLON's Jamie Wilson (5/26/14) As deadmau5 was about to launch on his adventure of a lifetime, the Gumball 3000 Rally, Rolling Stone premiered "Infra Turbo Pigcart Racer." "An epic 10-minute track with a melody that nods to 8-bit without bending to glitch, the newest single pulls in soaring phasers, thump-backed vocals, a sample of speeding cars and more for a sound that only a man who simultaneously loathes dance music while pushing it forward can create", touted Allegra Dimperio of Dancing Astronaut(6/3/14), while Matt Medved of Billboard (6/6/14) wrote, "Another week, another noteworthy new single from Joel's upcoming album. Striking a more throwback tone and title than the other two singles premiered so far, this one sports a progressive lead over assorted electro bass gurgles and classic mau5 organ chords".
Then came the unveiling of "Phantom's Can't Hang," courtesy of Mashable. "...it's instantly identifiable as classic deadmau5: gobs of clean synth over a massive prog-house beat that runs a little longer than nine minutes" wrote Chris Zeigler of The Verge (June 13).

A few days ago, Miley Cyrus caught some flak from Internet types for being photographed with a penis-shaped cake at boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's birthday party (above). This incident, compounded with the controversy over Cyrus being presented with a ganja cake at her birthday party a few months back, would lead most people to conclude that Miley Cyrus is either a typical nineteen-year-old girl with occasionally questionable judgment, or an ideal candidate for an exceptionally badass celebrity edition of Cake Boss.
Rather than find Miley's encounter with the penis-shaped pastry endearingly vulgar, however, conservative watchdog group the Culture and Media Institute treated the incident as the final layer of icing atop a figurative "Miley Cyrus is a godless whore" Satancake (which, y'know, is like a regular cake, except filled with fire and brimstone and Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps' pubes). The organization, which aims to "preserve and help restore America's culture, character, traditional values, and morals against the assault of the liberal media elite," recently slammed Cyrus for her "sleazy" behavior, calling the penis cake "disgusting" and Miley herself "the epitome of the anti-role model for young girls."
This is not the first time the CMI has aimed its specific brand of self-righteous indignation at the former Disney pop princess. After Cyrus released her video for "Can't Be Tamed" in 2010, the group coined the term the "Miley Cyrus Effect" to describe the trend of young girls "act[ing] like trashy adults" in public. This time, however, the CMI views Cyrus's SexyCakes snafu as indicative of a larger trend of "Hollywood promoting women behaving badly," pointing to the upcoming raunch comedy Bachelorette starring Kirsten Dunst as evidence that the "liberal media elite" is turning female moviegoers across the country into vodka-swigging, pot-smoking, penis-cake-licking prostitution whores.
So let's say, for the sake of argument, that CMI has a point. Let's say that all the women in Hollywood — Miley Cyrus, Kirsten Dunst, the entire cast of Bridesmaids, and Flo the Progressive Insurance Lady — are collectively turning the ladies of America into foul-mouthed, ill-mannered Dane Cooks with uteri. If this is the case, then let me just be the first to say that that is fucking awesome, and we should all thank Miley for her contributions to American feminism by driving over to the nearest Wal-Mart and buying up every single DVD of The Last Song.

I am a wife , mom, and nurse. I wear many hats. I have six children from ages 22-4. I struggled with infertility for almost eleven years after my second child. I had to have my left ovary and tube removed due to endometrisos at age thirty. I went through infertility programs, and the doctor told me I had less than 5% chance of every having another baby. Well, eleven years later I had the third, then the 4th, 5th and finally the 6th. I just started back to work after 6 years of being home. My husband is a Bat. Chief at Columbia Fire Dept in SC. He will retire in two years at age 45 and is now in the RN nursing program. My eight year old son was diagnosed with anxiety disorder, oppositional defiance disorder, and now attention deficit disorder. My seven year old was diagnosed about 3 months ago with celiac disease. It has been a journey. I will not stop until I have the information I need to keep her healthy. I feel some days like I could just curl up in a ball and cry and stay there, but I refuse to let it get me. I know I can do all things through Christ. I will learn all I can to help my children, but I want to help other mothers too. I do not want anyone to go through what we did for over 2 years to find out what is wrong with our child. I knew in my heart there was more going on, not just because I am a nurse but I have the instinct. I have a the ability to find information and get things done. I have a wealth of knowledge from bringing up six children and the things I have been through . I want to share and help.

Miley is entangled in a complicated relationship with Jake when she decides to fool her dad by pretending to date another guy.
Jake Ryan's return to "Hannah Montana" is going to be celebrated with a one-hour special. "He Could be the One" which music video was released last week, is the title to the July 5 episode where Jake is involved in a series of twist and drama concerning his romance with Miley.
Miley tries to tell Robby that she is dating Jake Ryan again, but he then believes that she is hiding something from him. Miley then tries to make her dad be thankful for Jake, and she pretends to date his bad boy band mate Jesse, until her dad tries to make Miley listen to her heart. Brooke Shields guest stars as Miley's mother.
On a related news, Billy Ray Cyrus has confirmed that the fourth season would be the last one of the series. "She didn't want it to just end with whatever was the last episode we did," he told Access Hollywood. "She wanted it to build to where there's a moral to the story, to where it doesn't just end and go away and that's it. She wanted there to be an official ending to 'Hannah Montana'."

In Quake 3 Arena, the BFG10K is a weapon that quickly fires deadly globs of Plasma. These globs can kill an unarmored and healthy target in one hit, and inflict a large splash damage around the point of impact. Only a few maps have it. The BFG10K is one of the few weapons that the players can kill themselves with, instead of saying he/she killed himself, it comes up as '(Player/NPC) should have used a smaller gun.'.
BFG stands for Bio Force Gun, although it is referred to as Big Fucking Gun. Some even refer to it as "Big Fragging Gun". The BFG10K in Quake 3 is sometimes viewed as an overpowered weapon. However, once you've got the BFG10K, you're essentially made a higher priority as a target when other players decide who to shoot in a crowded room.
It is rare to deplete all ammunition from the BFG10K before getting fragged (unless you rapidly spend ammo). The BFG gets its name from the incredibly powerful BFG 9000 from the Doom series, a game also developed by id Software.
- The BFG10K is a very versatile weapon that can take out multiple foes quickly. It's essentially a Rocket Launcher with faster fire rate of a glorified Plasma Gun (so it is very different from the one in Quake 2), which makes it a great room clearer. Make sure to keep on moving so that it'll be harder for them to figure out where you are.
- Along with the other splash damage weapons, BFG can harm its user if he/she is too close to the impact point. The BFG can be used to Rocket Jump, a bit higher than a Rocket Launcher can carry you.
- Against one person, the BFG can wipe the target out with ease: it can wipe out an unarmored and healthy target in one blast. If a target gets near a point of impact, splash damage will take off most of, if not all of his health.
- Try to lure a target into a closed area, so that it'll be harder for him to avoid splash damage. If your target is jumping, it should be shot on the floor near them so they will land on the blast area instead of evading it. Even with full Megahealth and Armor, 3-4 direct hits (2 with Quad Damage) is all it takes to take down an enemy.
- If you're fighting somebody that has the BFG, try to get into an open area so that it's harder for them to make a direct impact. Always be on the move and jump, even though the BFG's splash damage hurts, you'll be able to survive the blast.
- BFG has the one of smallest splash radius between missile based weapons. A simple BFG splash will deal relatively low damage compared to a rocket or grenade blast; due to damage could rapidly fall down depending on the target's distance from the center of the blast.
- If you see a BFG user in confined area, leave ASAP to a bigger room. While you are avoiding projectiles fired from BFG, use more conventional weapon or the Railgun if you are far enough to counter BFG user.
- Areas that have the BFG are usually hotly-contested areas. If you can, try to take control of the area the BFG is in at the start of the match. If not, try to slip in and take out the possessor behind his back, then finish off anybody that's left with it. If there are too many people, just ignore it. It's not worth constantly getting killed just for one weapon.
- If you do get control of the area near the BFG, remember that extra BFGs only give out one extra unit of ammo (this does not apply in Quake Live, where each extra BFG will give you 10 more BFG cells), so be cautious, because the other players will also have this advantage, since it is multiplayer.
- Always pick up BFG ammunition packs laying on the ground to reduce the BFG users' effectiveness in the map, whether you have the weapon or not. Add this small pickup to the list of important items when you see BFG energy balls flying around.
- When using the BFG, try to fire one-two shot at a time. Its high rate of fire, combined with its low ammo reserve, can quickly eat up your ammo. Look for ammo packs deliberately.
- The BFG can be a good luring weapon. Pulling out a different, weaker weapon, like a Machine Gun or a Plasma Gun, retreating, turning a corner and pulling out the BFG is a good way to catch people off guard. Make sure you do it quick, though, or you might have taken too much damage to effectively make use of the strategy.

"'Michael Ondaatje is here at his agile and evocative best. His latest book is an account of an exotic and outrageous family, a true story with all of the most exciting qualities of fiction. Brightly coloured, sweet and painful, bloody-minded and otherworldly, it achieves the status of legend'" –
Margaret Atwood
"'An outstandingly evocative, semi-autobiographic account of a journey back to the beginning, to Ceylon where Ondaatje was born into a privileged group of mixed Dutch, Tamil and Sinhalese origins. Created from asides, snapshots, poems, glimpses in every way unorthodox and incomplete, it falls magically on the page with all the grace of a billowing, seamless dress. Like all classic writing the motion of this book lingers on, like the movement of a boat, long after the last pages'" –
New Statesman
"'A beautiful, luscious book. Michael Ondaatje has depicted his extraordinary family, who delighted in masks and costumes and love affairs that "rainbowed over marriages" in the kind of language that makes glory of their lives. He has gone on a poet's journey to Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and the reader who travels with him enters a truly magical world'" –
Maxine Hong Kingston
"'Eloquent, oblique, witty, full of light and feeling....Ondaatje's knowledge of the fragility and luck of life is very clear. So, too, is the grace and originality of his prose'" –

From Sex, Gender and Society (1972)
Everybody knows that men and women are different. But behind this knowledge lies a certain uneasiness: how different are they? What is the extent of the difference? What significance does it have for the way male and female behave and are treated in society? While the first questions are factual ones, the last is a question of value. In practice, of course, fact and value are not always separated, and the confusion between them has been crucial in the debate about sex differences. This debate has been carried on much more keenly during some historical periods than others. It seems to be revived at times when the existing roles and statuses of male and female are changing...
The enduring questions are these: does the source of the many differences between the sexes lie in biology or culture? If biology determines male and female roles, how does it determine them? How much influence does culture have? These questions are more meaningful now than they were in the previous debates about sex differences, for the simple reason that we are now able to disregard (if we wish) almost all the so-called consequences of the reproductive division between the sexes. Fertility control and the safe artificial feeding of infants enable couples to choose when they shall have babies, and who shall feed them. The former is an achievement of personal relevance for all women, while the latter is of potential (though usually underrated) relevance to both sexes, since it makes it possible to distribute both the work and the joy of childrearing between people regardless of their biological sex: that is, it could bring men back into the home.
But, however much we could change the traditional involvement of women with their biological roles, the direction of change remains a question of choice and of value. It is not enough to point out that the traditionally incontrovertible argument for the sex-differentiated society has had its foundations removed with the advance of pills, loops, rubber devices, synthetic human milk and sterilised feeding bottles. Arguments long believed in have an alarming tendency to remain suspended in thin air by the slender string of passionate, often irrational, conviction. They seem not to need their foundations to survive. Technology has altered the necessary impact of biology on society, but our conceptions of masculinity and femininity have shown no corresponding tendency to change. The lag between the two points to a crucial distinction it is necessary to make in our thinking about male and female roles - the distinction between 'sex' and 'gender'. 'Sex' is a word that refers to the biological differences between male and female: the visible difference in genitalia, the related difference in procreative function. 'Gender' however is a matter of culture: it refers to the social classification into 'masculine' and 'feminine'. The distinction between 'male' and 'female' on the one hand, and 'masculine' and 'feminine' on the other, makes it possible to clarify much of the argument about sex differences...
As John Stuart Mill observed in 1869, the topic of sex differences is one on which almost everybody feels qualified to dogmatise, while 'almost all neglect and make light of the only means by which any partial insight can be obtained into it.' What Mill meant was that people rarely refer to the evidence about the differences and similarities between male and female before pronouncing their conclusions. While deploring this tendency, he admitted that sound evidence on the subject was sadly lacking in his time: we need, he said, to study 'the laws of the influence of circumstances on character.'
The rise of the social sciences has, since Mill wrote, provided us with exactly this kind of evidence...The task is to disentangle 'sex' from 'gender' in the many fields where the existence of natural differences between male and female has been proposed, aiming to replace dogmatism by insight, and attempting to separate value-judgments from statements of fact.

Pair Of Top-10 Finishes For Geico Honda Motocross Team
Posted by: newsla on May 25, 2014 - 12:57 PM
Pair Of Top-10 Finishes For Geico Honda Motocross Team
After taking home the 250SX East Supercross championship two weeks ago, GEICO Honda rider Justin Bogle kicked off the 12-race Lucas Oil Motocross Championship series with a solid sixth-place overall result Saturday at the Red Bull Glen Helen National.
Bogle finished fifth and ninth in the day's two motos, placing him just ahead of teammate Matt Bisceglia in the overall rankings. Bisceglia carded an 11th- and a seventh-place result to close opening day seventh overall.
"Both motos started off really well for me," Bogle said. "The first moto I had a bad start but rode well through the rest of it, made it up to third, but got a little tired and fell back to fifth. It was a solid first moto for me.
"In the second moto I pulled the holeshot because my GEICO Honda was a rocket ship and incredibly fast. I got passed, crashed on the hill, and ended up in a mudhole on a pass back. I got up and was pretty far back but ended up back in the top 10 for the finish. I feel really good, and there are lots of positives going into Hangtown next weekend. I'm really excited about this year."
Bisceglia kept himself in close contention all day with strong rides in both motos.
"I got a couple good starts today and that helped," Bisceglia said. "In the first moto I was in third for the first three laps. I fell off the pace a little and ended up 11th. The second moto, however, I didn't really get a great start and was back in the pack, but I battled a couple guys, got by them, and finished seventh, so it was good.
"The track was pretty gnarly today and it was brutal making it through. Then there was a huge crash at the start of the second moto, which was brutal because it's such a high-speed area. You don't want to see anyone crash there. I was lucky and stayed up.
"I'm happy with my finish but I need to improve on my speed. That's what I'll work on next. Also, I'm really looking forward to Hangtown because I have a bunch of friends coming down from Oregon, which is where I grew up, so it will be a good time."
Although he started the day with an encouraging ninth-place result in Moto 1, Zach Osborne's fortunes took a regrettable turn later when he crashed early in Moto 2, which removed him from the rest of the day's activities.
"I rode pretty well after a so-so start (in Moto 1) and got into fifth or sixth place," Osborne said. "But then I tipped over though and went back to like 15th. After that, I had a pretty solid ride and was able to get back to ninth. I actually was feeling really good at the end of that race.
"In the second race I got caught up in a little first-turn crash and hurt my thumb. We don't know the severity of the injury yet but hopefully I can get in to see a specialist right away and get back out here soon."
Zach Bell also had a few incidents that prevented him from showing off his potential. The young rider finished in 17th and 26th in the day's two motos.
"The first race was going really well; in fact I got the holeshot," Bell said. "I was riding my own pace and getting into the groove of everything. Jeremy Martin got around me and we ended up battling back and forth for a while, which was fun. At one point, I was going down the big hill and a rock got stuck in my chain and that stalled out the bike. I hit false neutral a few times, and it just knocked the wind out of me and I fell back.
"The second moto just kind of was a so-so race, but I'm glad I'm healthy and feeling good. After being out for a while, it was good to be back on the bike and avoid injury."
The entire GEICO Honda 250 Motocross team will look to make progress when the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship series heads to the Hangtown National next Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
At some point in all our lives we have to ask ourselves.......How did I get here? But at the end of the day how you got where your at has no real significance on where you go from here. What happened in the past is in the past, no amount of searching or wishing will get you back to where you were. All you have is today.........and tomorrow. You have to stop and look at where you are today, and where you want to be tomorrow and the tomorrow's of the future.
Its time to sit down and take stock of what you have, who you are, and where you want to be. Your family is frustrated because they see you sitting there never moving forward. Yes you have made some mistakes, but do not allow those mistakes to keep you behind. You have two wonderful daughters who need their mother to be strong and show them how to be strong independent women.
Having a man isn't the most important thing in the world, while it would be wonderful if he would stand up and be a man for you and your daughter the fact is he has made his choices and if you continue to hold on he is going to drag you and your children down with him. You do not want to be looking back ten years from now asking "How did I get here" Its time to stand up for yourself and your children and become independent of these men and get your own life in order.
In the end if he wants to change for you he will, if not you are not sitting waiting for him to do the right thing. Right now you have to fix your own life and worry about your children and yourself instead of what he is doing.
His life is spiraling out of control and eventually he is going to hit rock bottom.......I would hate to see you and your children to hit that hard bottom with him. You made the choice to have these children, so now it is time to stand up and raise them. Your daughters deserve the chance to see how strong their mother can be. And you deserve to see yourself become independent and strong. You can do it...........you just have to want it!
I can not tell you that you should leave this guy............but take a moment and re read what you wrote above, in the end you already know the answer to your own question. You know what you have to do it, its just a matter of saying "Today is the first day of the rest of our lives" and then start it. In the end only you are holding yourself back from starting that life..................
