Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer. By the way, it would help me to know:
-What is your age now?
-After he did that to you, you started going back why?
-Did you ever tell anyone?
-From 13 to what age did you continue to go back?-Do you see this man anymore?
Thank you again for trusting me with your problem. Please reply as soon as possible so that I can finish answering your question.
In no way, shape or form was what happened to you your fault even when you kept going back, you were only 13 years old that is an impressionable age and this man took advantage of you and made you a victim whether you went back or not he had to of known it was wrong or he wouldn't have kept doing it or threatened your niece, I think possibly you kept going back to save your niece from it possibly happening to her or it may have become a learned behavior for you. Once you get victimized it lowers your self esteem and you may have went back to try to get that back but it only made you feel worse afterwards. You may need to start seeing a therapist so that they can make you understand that you were a victim and not to let it haunt you anymore. Don't try to do this on your own you need some outside help.
I think you would do anything to make sure your family stayed safe and you didn't know if he would carry out his threat of hurting your niece and you didn't want that on your conscience and this is why you continued to go over there but it wasn't your fault that you kept getting molested by this man and he should have been put in jail but it's totally understandable why you didn't do that but you have to stop blaming yourself. At 13 year old there is no way you could have known the effects that this man had on you until you matured and got older and could figure out how wrong it was and since he didn't get blamed for anything you took over that position and that isn't very fair to you at all.
Think about the counseling a counselor can help you to understand why you kept going back and why this was done to you but you cannot control what a sick mind does and it's usually the victim that lives a life of torment, I'm sure there were others besides you so you are probably not alone but you will never know that all you can do is work on yourself and help to get passed this though you will never forget what happened to you counseling could help you to know your self worth even after that was done to you it just took you longer to feel the full effect of what happened and to do something about it help wise.
It's natural for you to feel it's your fault most victims do that and say there was something they could have done but when you are a child and nolt onlyh victimized once but twice with two different men and one man you should be able to trust not to hurt you (Your father) you were already hurt by the man you trust the most so when it happened to you again it made you feel like you deserved it but you didn't you were a CHILD and these were grown men that took advantage of a little girl. Give the R Crisis Center a try and if you feel you aren't getting the help you need then search out someone else that can help you through this don't do alone you have tried that and they guilt has not gone away.

U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) today said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)'s denial of federal funding for the five Southern Illinois counties affected by severe storms and tornadoes was unacceptable. They called for a meeting between members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation and the FEMA Administrator to discuss the State of Illinois' appeal of this decision.
"This decision by FEMA is unacceptable and out of touch with the reality that residents of Harrisburg, Ridgway and the surrounding areas are facing as the storm clean-up continues," said the Senators. "We fully support the appeal that Governor Quinn is putting together and would like to discuss that with Administrator Fugate and the Illinois Congressional Delegation in Washington next week. The damage from the storms in Southern Illinois is among the worst our state has seen in recent years. Federal funding is greatly needed to help residents and families rebuild and we will continue working to see that these communities are made whole again."
On Thursday, Durbin and Kirk were joined by the entire Illinois Congressional Delegation sending a letter to President Obama asking him to issue a major disaster declaration for the State of Illinois and to provide relief for Gallatin, Randolph, Saline, Union, and Williamson Counties due to the storms and tornadoes that ravaged the area leaving local governments, charitable organizations, voluntary agencies and evacuees taking on the initial costs of the disasters. A Presidential disaster declaration would allow cities and counties to apply for federal reimbursements to help pay for storm damage repairs.

Trial set for April; Suspect in fatal Trinidad RV park stabbing
EUREKA- The man accused of fatally stabbing a 24-year-old at a Trinidad RV Park will go to trial in April. Larry Clinton Morrow is the suspect in the case involving the death of Jessie Ruiz on January 10th at the Hidden Creek RV Park.
Morrow's trial date has been set for April 7th. He allegedly stabbed Ruiz multiple times after a fight involving both men that started inside a trailer.
The defense has previously argued that Morrow acted in self defense, but Judge Marilyn B. Miles said there was enough evidence in the case to hold him to answer in court.
Morrow will appear again in court on March 20th for a trial confirmation hearing.

Great Lakes Brewing Co. fans are eager to grab a piece of history

GLBC server and Sumerian beer project brewer Michael Williams draws ale samples from a fermentation vessel. Great Lakes Brewing Co. and the University of Chicago have toiled over the last year on re-creating a 5,000-year-old Sumerian beer recipe.
Apparently, local beer drinkers are thirsty for knowledge behind
Great Lakes Brewing Co.
's efforts to replicate a 5,000-year-old Sumerian beer.
The Ohio City brewer's planned Aug. 14 Sumerian Beer Dinner for 80 guests sold out within 48 hours, which is prompting co-owner
Patrick Conway
to consider hosting more events that introduce local craft beer disciples to the ancient ale crafted with rudimentary tools like ceramic pottery and wooden sticks.
"People are fascinated by the ancient brewing process," he said.
Great Lakes Brewing Co. and architects with the
University of Chicago's Oriental Institute
over the last year have been toiling with the project that eschews modern technology for centuries-old techniques which reproduces an ale infused with such ingredients as pomegranates, honey, fennel, chamomile or dates.
"We even use dung as a force of fuel," to heat the vat, Mr. Conway said. "The result is a warm, flat, cloudy beer, just as our brothers and sisters enjoyed centuries ago."
The ancient liquid is the earliest known beer recipe, carved into clay tablets by the Sumerians in 1800 B.C.
Meanwhile, the Sumerian beer revival has garnered international attention.
The New York Times
did a
on the technology, and then we were showing up in the headlines of papers in Bangkok, Thailand and Turkey," Mr. Conway said.
Great Lakes Brewing Co. also plans to conduct on Aug. 26 a Sumerian Beer Dinner with the University of Chicago.
Cronut cousin
LaBella Cupcakes
has unveiled its version of the Cronut, a croissant-doughnut hybrid that has produced roller coaster-like lines at the New York City
from which it originates.
LaBella Cupcakes' Cleveland Crescendough, composed of a buttery flaky croissant that is deep fried then glazed, comes in chocolate ganache, salted caramel, maple, lemon raspberry and vanilla glaze with sprinkles.
The sweetness from the glaze create a perfect balance with the croissant dough base, owner
Laura Williams
"No one in Cleveland was offering it as of yet, so we tried a few recipes and launched it," she said. "We hope that Cleveland will find them as delicious as our taste testers have."
For more information, call 216-246-7025, visit www.labellacupcakes.com, or follow the Cleveland Crescendough on Twitter @CLECrescendough.
Paying their respects
About 400
Plain Dealer
loyalists showed up last Wednesday, July 31, at a
Market Garden Brewery
gathering to offer support for both current staff members and the approximately 50 journalists who were laid off.
Sam McNulty
said 91 people called in donations toward a beer tab for the journalists from around the country and even Norway. Donations topped about $5,000, with the
Columbus Dispatch
offering $600, the
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
contributing $550 and
New Hampshire Guild
throwing in $100.
"(Wednesday night) was a communal high five from the community to the good people of the
Plain Dealer
," Mr. McNulty said. "It was in effect an Irish wake for those who lost their jobs but also a protest against an attack on quality journalism in Cleveland."
Industry news
Millennials go to extremes when they dine out, and are just as likely to frequent pizza joints as fine-dining establishments, according to
Crain's Chicago Business
story, which published results of a study that examines consumers' dining habits. The study also found that alcohol sales at bars and restaurants are on the rise and expected to reach $88.4 billion this year and nearly $100 billion by 2017.
Northern Ohio is highlighted in
USA Today
story as one of 10 U.S. regions through which cyclists should want to traverse, and subsequently, dine. The editor,
David Howard
magazine, rode from Columbus to Cleveland and stopped at
Flying Fig
Great Lakes Brewing Co.
along the way: "It stands out so much that the cart led the horse," he wrote.
The food truck trend continues to accelerate, with more entrepreneurs launching mobile eateries or augmenting their bricks-and-mortar with a mobile eatery, according to
National Restaurant Association
article. Nearly 20% of fast casual restaurants say they are very or somewhat likely to launch one in the next year or two.
Restaurateurs and merchants won on July 31 a victory when the U.S District Court in Washington, D.C., ruled that the Federal Reserve's 21-cent cap on swipe fees for debit card transactions was too high. The judge set a court hearing for Aug. 14 to determine what happens next, according to

Jesus said to her
In Berlin in 1908, a twenty-one-year-old Polish pianist Arthur Rubinstein was lonely, hungry and in debt, his career at an impasse. He felt there was nothing left for him but suicide; the problem was finding a way. He had no gun, no poison, and the idea of jumping out of the window was revolting. ( "I might have to go on living with broken arms and legs," he explained.) He chose strangulation with a belt from his robe. He went into the bathroom, stood on a chair, and secured one end of the belt to an overhead hook. Then he tied the other end around his neck and kicked over the chair. The worn-out belt immediately came apart, and Rubinstein fell on the floor with a crash. For a time he lay where he had fallen, weeping. Later, going to the piano, he cried himself out in music. Afterwards, on the street, he saw the world as if reborn. The famed pianist never forgot what the experience taught him; "Love life," he said later, "for better or for worse, without conditions."
Is there any greater gift than the gift of having a second chance to live life anew? That was the gift that Jesus gave Lazarus. New life. As if to explain his action Jesus said, "I AM the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. . . ." That is the promise he has given us for the day. Jesus IS the resurrection and the life! It does not mean that we will not have our heart broken from time to time. But it does mean that if we are in Christ neither life nor death will ever defeat us, for the One who raised Lazarus from the dead will give us new life as well.

Awareness Tabling
|Planning Time
|2 - 4 weeks
|Group Size
|Staff #
|Event Date
Activity Overview:
Although tabling has been mentioned in connection with some events (e.g. student activities fair or Ask an Atheist Day), there are a wide variety of times when it is useful. Tabling in the weeks before an event can promote it and get people interested in coming. New or expanding groups will want to table in order to attract members with a cold sell - not always effective, but it can steadily raise interest and increase your membership. Since the goal is to attract a large number of eyeballs, and keep many of those eyeballs at attention, prepare to be looked over by a few hundred to several thousand people, depending on the size of your school.
Planning timeframe:
The more professional-looking you want your table, the more planning needs to go into it, especially if you're ordering a banner or literature. You'll also need to reserve the table space on campus, usually that's done in the Registered Student Organization office, or similar. That said, getting everything together should take 2 to 4 weeks. Since tabling is most effective at the beginning of the semester, when people are looking for something to do, you may want to get a jump on planning before a semester break.
There are three key tasks to getting a table ready: reserving a time and location, obtaining tabling materials, and scheduling volunteers. 1 or 2 coordinators should be able to handle this - since it's a fairly simple activity, it may be a good idea to get a potential leader to spearhead this. 1 to 3 volunteers should always be at the table. We don't recommend having more than 3 people at the table because it's starts to become intimidating for new people to approach.
Material requirements:
The first, and obvious, requirement is a table. Your university will probably be able to provide one, either at the venue itself or somewhere nearby. Banners are highly visible and powerfully get your name out. If you make a banner, be sure the lettering is visible 10-20 feet away. Tabling literature takes on a variety of forms, and can include fliers, pamphlets, business cards, stickers, brochures, and literature from secular organizations. You may want to invest in a plastic stand to hold brochures/fliers, which can save space and make you look more professional. A display board, decorated with photos and information about your group, can work wonders. Don't forget a clipboard, pens and pre-printed sign-up sheets for people to write down their names and emails!
Make sure that everything on your table is organized nicely. Your meeting time & location, as well as a facebook page and contact email, should be prominently displayed. Don't drown the table in materials or words, however; excessive verbiage will probably turn people off.
For more tips on the specifics of running a successful table, see our Tabling Resource.
Tabling is a form of promotion in itself. However, you can give a heads up to members who might not come to your weekly meetings by announcing it in your group email list.
- Within your group, establish a goal for your tabling. If you just want to attract members, you'll need to table as early in the semester as possible. Sometimes you will want to table in response to recent events, either campus events or larger-scale happenings. In this case, you'll need to tailor your table to fit the occasion.
- Solicit volunteers to table. The best times to table are when there is a lot of foot traffic through your part of campus, but, problematically, many of your members may be busy then. Make sure that your tabling times work with volunteers' schedules, and rotate so that members will only spend an hour or two at a time.
- Contact your student activities department, or whoever is in charge of reserving space. Have a clear idea of what times and dates will work, and look for possible alternatives. For instance, if Wednesdays bring a lot of people on campus, but Fridays don't, try and secure a Wednesday, even if you have to push the date of tabling back a week.
- Be sure to table in a high-traffic area - if you're shunted off into a corner, tabling just won't work.
- Tabling is more effective if you do it for consecutive days, rather than in dribs and drabs over a period. Schedule a block of time for a few days running.
- Get tabling materials. Here are only a few ways to get some:
- The SSA may be able to provide tabling supplies - email our campus organizer
- Many freethought organizations will be happy to send you literature at low or no cost. Contact SSA at least 3 or 4 weeks ahead of time and we can help coordinate this. Give us an idea of what material you need, from what organizations, and how many people you're expecting.
- The SSA can also help you get free business cards for your group
- Banners are available at a reasonable price here.
- Contact local nonreligious groups and ask if they have anything you can borrow or use.
- Your display board, as a presentation of what your group is about, needs to be attractive and informative. Make sure it includes your group's meeting time and location, as well as photos of your group doing fun and exciting activities!
Talking points are a great resource for any media appearance or public event - they help to focus your thinking and clarify your message. Ideally, come up with about three points to emphasize and repeat - you should elaborate on them, but don't stray from your message!
Print out a FAQ guide to have at the table for quick reference.
- Before tabling, make sure all of your volunteers know basic information about your group, and give them tips on how to run the table. Many good ideas are in your Group Running Guide's section on tabling.
- Set up your table a little early - if you're still setting up when people get out of class, they won't see your message. If you have fliers, stick them up around the area you're tabling in. This will concentrate, and thus enhance, your message.
- Table!
- After you're done, pack up and clean up. Many tabling supplies (esp. banners and display boards) can be reused, so find a place to store them - your student union may offer storage space for recognized clubs.
- Be sure to thank your volunteers and coordinators!
One of our best resources to find out what works and what doesn't is you - our student leaders! If you've employed a strategy that worked well, let us know about it so other groups can also use that idea. If you've learned a lesson of caution about something we suggest, point out the pitfalls. You can email us at email@example.com!

Prentiss Miller might be one of the more underappreciated running backs in the state. Not many seniors already have two 1,150-yard seasons under their belt with not much college attention to show for it.
But if anyone has doubts about Pine View's 5-foot-9, 180-pound back and his durability, a state-record 51 carries for 270 yards against Orem on Friday night should do much to allay those concerns.
One of the folks whose never doubted Miller: Panthers coach Ray Hosner. After sophomore quarterback Kody Wilstead was injured in Week One, Hosner elected to hand off to his stalwart rusher. A lot.
"We decided if we're going to win games, we're going to let him carry the ball," he said. "To me, when he's blocking a blitzing linebacker, that's just as hard a hit on his carries. So if he's taking 50 or 60 of those hits anyway, and he's in his groove, let's go to him."
Miller has an outside shot at leaving his name on a few top-10 lists when he graduates after this season, but he can be fairly certain no one will wipe his name off the most carries in a game for a while. His 51 was three more than the state record 48 set by Altamont's Kyle Foy last season. Foy, incidently, holds the Utah record for most rushing yards in a game with 451.
The 270-yard performance doesn't even crack the top 10 in state history, but Pine View did pick up a critical 24-21 win against the Tigers. Miller also was on the kick return team and played cornerback for most of the game.
Hosner said Miller helped pick up the team after its season-opening 35-0 loss to East and losing Wilstead for a large chunk of the season.
"He pointed out that we were in the game except for a few big plays we gave up," Hosner said. "He rallied the troops and said, 'Count on me to pound the ball, coach.'"
Miller will need to continue to pound the ball to keep Pine View in the Region 9 race this season, as well as pick up scholarship offers. But if he has more performances like Friday night - although hopefully with fewer carries for his body's sake - Miller and the Panthers might just be OK.

A New York woman has filed a lawsuit alleging that she and her children were attacked by overly rowdy New York Jets fans when the team hosted the New England Patriots at Giants Stadium last September.
The Newark Star Ledger reported that Michelle Munoz, 43, of Montgomery, N.Y., filed a suit in U.S. District Court against the New York Giants and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which operated the since-destroyed stadium. The Jets weren't named as a defendant.
In the suit, Munoz alleged that her 14-year-old daughter, Danielle, was harassed when she held up a "I Love Tom Brady" sign in support of the Jets' AFC East rivals.
Munoz and her husband, Randy, are plaintiffs in the suit.
Attorney Evan Foulke told the paper that Munoz was punched, kicked and thrown over a row of seats. The suit claims Munoz is suffering from "great bodily pain and mental anguish."
Foulke also said that Jets fans threw beer at Munoz's children, cursed at the family and demanded they put away the pro-Brady sign. Also, the family alleges that security guards refused to take action when they alerted them.
The Giants and the stadium authority have declined to comment about the suit.

How would all my servers be accessible from the outside if many ports
aren't forwarded? I'll have a bunch of services running like mail, http,
ftp, ssh, vnc, and a number of others. If you consider just the ftp, for
example, which should be able to work in PASV mode, that will require
that a number of random ports be forwarded to the server. On my old
setup, DMZ was the only way to get this to work properly, especially at
times when port usage is simply unknown.
In either case, this just seems to be like an easy thing to do, so maybe
a feature for the next release? Basically in NAT forwarding create an
ability to specify if a port is not forwarded to any specific host, then
in should go to the default one. Just a thought...

TIKRIT, Iraq, Dec. 21 2006 - As soldiers in Multination Division-North go about their day-to-day duties, an unseen group of fellow service members works day and night to make the mission possible.
The little-thought-of supplies that make the fight possible are part of a multimillion-dollar logistics operation that is the lifeblood of the war effort, and someone has to be responsible for ordering, tracking and delivering the vital equipment.
That's where Company A, 209th Aviation Support Battalion comes in.
From food to office supplies to vehicle parts, the soldiers at the company's warehouse at Contingency Operating Base Speicher handle supply requests from over seven battalions operating in Iraq and Kuwait.
"We're like the combat Wal-Mart," said Warrant Officer Dempster Upshaw, from Company A, 209th ASB. "What you can get at Wal-Mart, you can get here."
But handling that variety and volume of supplies presents its own problems and challenges.
"One of the biggest challenges is getting the right part to the customer," Upshaw said. "We track supplies from when the customer places the order, to getting it shipped from the U.S. to Iraq to when you're sitting at your desk and you sign the hand receipt for your new supplies."
And with as many as 50,000 requisitions coming from over 200 customers every day, it can get difficult, Upshaw said.
Another challenge faced by the company is the storage of supplies.
"We have to make sure it's stored properly so that it's protected from the elements," Upshaw said. "So when the costumer gets it, it works."
"There's a big difference between working here and in the rear," said Sgt. Missy Maye, the company's warehouse storage noncommissioned officer in charge. "In the rear we don't stock nearly as many lines. Over here it's quadrupled."
The care of the stored supplies is even more important when you take into account their value, Upshaw said.
"When I see parts like this (helicopter) engine here, I see money," Upshaw said.
With about $70 million worth of supplies at his main warehouse alone, and with as much as $50 million worth of equipment and supplies moving through every day, Upshaw has a lot to keep track of and take care of.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to handle the load on his own.
"I have outstanding NCOs and soldiers," Upshaw said. "Sergeants and soldiers are what make this place run."
So as the troops continue to fight in the global war on terror, the soldiers of Company A, 209th ASB will continue to keep them supplied.
"We do it with integrity," Upshaw said. "I'm not going to let my soldiers fall. I'm not going to let the Army down."
That takes dedication and drive.
"Sometimes you'll see me with a little shadow," Upshaw said, motioning at his jaw line. "I'm here that much. I live here and work here."

What Our Patients Say
If you'd like to share some kind words and smiles, please ask our front desk staff for a comment card at your next appointment. We'd love to hear about your experience!
I just moved here from out of state and needed to find a new dentist. Dr. Kim has a fantastic location and, more importantly, the best reviews online! You can request an appointment through the website so anti-social people like me don't have to call. I got RIGHT in (didn't have to wait around), they took their time, were very courteous, and explained everything in great detail. Also, a lot of dental hygienists will just do a satisfactory job. They may be up against a time crunch to see other patients, etc., but mine did an EXTENSIVE cleaning before Dr. Kim saw me. Beyond that, they rock some state of the art equipment and you even have a great view out the window while you're there.
– Ryan B.
I don't really look forward to going to the dentist but in this case I'll make an exception. Everyone I came in contact with at Dr. Kim's office did a very professional job. They provided me with good information about my teeth and explained what they were going to do and why. My cleaning was pretty extensive and while there were a few occasional moments of discomfort, it was far from painful, and all I had was a topical anesthetic. They frequently checked with me during the whole procedure to ensure I was ok. While I was there, they also explained some cosmetic treatments I was interested in and provided me with prices, so I can schedule them as my budget allows. I'm looking forward to getting my teeth in great shape again now, instead of dreading it. I know Dr. Kim and her team will take good care of me.
– Robert
I started coming here in 2003 and am very pleased with the treatment and the high caliber personnel.
– Thomas F.
If you previously hated going to the dentist, you will be pleasantly surprised at how you will now look forward to appointments with Dr. Kim!!
– Joanne R.
I have been with Lina since she started this practice. She has been great! Always checking to making sure you are comfortable. Her staff is also very friendly and sincere. When she discovers a problem we take care of it right then. Lina is very meticulous. Not in any rush. She has made remarkable improvements with the health of my teeth. I have already recommended 2 patients to her and they are very pleased. My wife is also a patient.
– Dean D.
Dr. Kim and her extraordinary staff are great. Dr. Kim is very gentle, small hands and the best dentist that I've had so far. She is brilliant and always meets my expectations. The hygienists are friendly and outgoing. You can watch television while having dental work done. Dr. Kim is kid friendly and pain free! Check this place out of your looking for a new dental home. I've referred six people to Dr. Lina Kim's office everyone loves her.
– Essence
We have been taking our teen to Dr. Kim for three years now. Her office is warm and welcoming and we have had nothing but positive experiences with her practice. I would recommend her and her professional staff to anyone looking for a good dentist in the Seattle area.
– Daniel C.
I honestly picked this dentist at random from a list of providers covered by my insurance. What a great surprise! Best dentist I have ever had, by far, including all of the staff there. I had my wisdom teeth out, a couple cavities filled, and many cleanings and exams and I always leave feeling very taken care of. They take a lot of the sting out of going to the dentist, which is a huge plus. I have already recommended them to many people, some who have gone and loved them too. If you're looking for a dentist definitely check them out.
– Jackie A.
All four of my children love Dr. Kim! They range in age from 3 to 15. She has made all of them feel comfortable regardless of the amount of work they have needed to have done. She is very professional and has made all of them realize how important it is to take care of their teeth and has shown them the proper way to do it. Everyone in her office is awesome. I highly recommend Dr. Kim if you are looking for a good dentist. Her patients are obviously her priority!!
– Beth C.
Dr. Kim is an excellent dentist. She and her team are honest, gentle, thorough, and explain everything they are doing. Going to the dentist is never great, but they make it as great as it could be. And the 7:30 appointment times are so convenient!
- Bruce L.
I've been to Dr. Kim's office a few times to have some cleaning work and fillings, as well as some wisdom teeth out, and so far it has been an incredibly easy experience. Each member of the staff is incredibly professional, and gives you a play by play as to what they're doing so you don't feel lost in the process. Everyone's demeanor is very calming and for someone who experiences anxiety in these types of situations, I couldn't think of a better dentist's office to recommend.
– Robin W.
AMAZING! I decided to try Dr. Lina Kim's office when I felt unable to deny the fact that it was time for an x-ray and certainly a teeth cleaning. I was pretty apprehensive about my situation. As I'd sort of guessed, I needed a series of fillings, but what a difference it was to be in the care of Dr. Kim! Two times in a row, I felt zero pain. When it comes to drilling and filling, I had the feeling that she was attending to my teeth with as much care as if they were her own. I can't really even tell that I have some fillings in there thanks to the artistry of this dentist. I'm glad to say that this is a dentist that I TRUST, does GREAT work, and does it with a GENTLE and KIND attitude.
– Jane M.
I have enjoyed receiving my dental care with Lina Kim, DDS. I appreciate the email and phone reminders. I like that they work with me to fit appointments into my schedule, even separating the cleaning and the exam, if necessary. She and her dental hygienists are gentle and listen to my concerns.
– Elizabeth J.
I have been a patient of Dr. Lina Kim and her staff for many years and I have always had a good experience at her office. The staff is very friendly and warm and I enjoy talking to them when I come in. My last filling was performed quickly and effectively. For a different cavity, when the bite was not completely fitting, I called in and they corrected it free of charge. It has been my experience that they genuinely care about the health of their patients and that they strive for excellence. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lina Kim to anyone looking for a new dentist!
– Aviva B.
I love this dentist! Dr. Kim and her staff made sure to know exactly what all my concerns and needs were, and went out of their way to accommodate me. They explained everything to me every step of the way and made sure it was what I wanted. It was the least painful cleaning I've ever had. And when I needed four (shudder) fillings, and my jaw was painfully seizing up, Dr. Kim actually took regular breaks and gently massaged my jaw to help me through the procedure. It was also the first time a dentist listened to the fact that I need a LOT of Novocaine - for the first time ever I didn't have to ask for more and had no pain during the entire procedure! If you don't love your dentist, you are missing out! You should totally try Dr. Kim! (Her front desk staff is also amazing!)
– Yuri S.

William Jones charged with Peter Lewis murder
The 31-year-old man arrested on suspicion of the murder of Peter Lewis at Roath in Cardiff has now been charged.
Paul Hewitt, Senior Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in Wales, said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has been working closely alongside South Wales Police as their investigation into this murder has progressed.
"We can now confirm that, having carefully examined a file of evidence provided by South Wales Police, we concluded that there is sufficient evidence to charge William Stephen Jones with the murder of Peter Lewis and that it is in the public interest to do so. Accordingly, we advised South Wales Police to charge him.
"The defendant will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Thursday 3 May.
"William Jones now stands charged with an extremely serious criminal offence and has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that nothing should be published that could prejudice his trial."

Charlie Sheen Didn't Even Know What The Word 'Warlock' Meant
"You losers can't touch me. I'M A CUISINART!"
If I haven't made it smugly clear by now, one of my greatest pleasures is watching Charlie Sheen admit he was completely out of his mind last year during the whole #WINNING/goddesses fiasco that everyone thought was some grand performance piece and/or a legitimate act of sticking it to The Man. Turns out Charlie Sheen didn't even understand the meaning of half the words he was using, they just sounded cool. Via his latest interview with Playboy:
PLAYBOY: Sean Penn called you a performance artist. Is it possible the whole year was one big hoax?
SHEEN: That's cool that he said that. It's a compliment, but it's not what was going on. I didn't have a master plan. I didn't realize it was going to create such a global firestorm. At the time, it felt like I was watching a lot of it from above, you know what I mean?
PLAYBOY: Like an out-of-body experience?
SHEEN: Yeah. It was surreal. And it never occurred to me where this stuff was going to end up or how it was going to be perceived. I didn't care about anything beyond the moment. And then I was a little shocked by how huge the whole thing became. It was like an organism you couldn't stop. It kept growing.
PLAYBOY: You kept insisting you were winning when everything that was happening in your life and career at the time seemed like the complete opposite of winning.
SHEEN: Absolutely. I was in total denial.
PLAYBOY: Was it just positive thinking? If you say you're winning enough times, maybe things will turn around?
SHEEN: It wasn't that bleak in my head. I felt I was winning by finally being able to speak my mind. I felt that was some sort of victory. And then it was fueled by the insane public outpouring of support.
PLAYBOY: Not only were you winning, but you called yourself a warlock.
SHEEN: I didn't know what the hell a warlock was; I just liked the way it sounded. It's got war in it; it's got a kah sound. War-lock. Remember the Salem warlock society? They were going to cast a hex on me.
PLAYBOY: Because you were making a mockery of their religion?
SHEEN: Something like that. I was hurting the warlock name. I was like, "Bring it on! I'll eat your hex for breakfast." [laughs] It's so fucking stupid. I'm in a beef with a warlock society? You're kidding me, right? How do you go from making Oliver Stone movies to being in a feud with warlocks?
PLAYBOY: The list goes on and on. Tiger blood, Adonis DNA, you're on a drug called Charlie Sheen.
SHEEN: [Laughs] Most of it came out of nowhere. It wasn't planned, it was just random. The tiger blood? I don't know. It's just a very dangerous animal. And there's a tiger in Apocalypse Now, by the way, so maybe there's a connection there. Adonis DNA? I don't know what the fuck that was about. That was just stupid. That went a little far.
On top of admitting he barely speaks English – Way to help the Latino cause, Carlos. – Charlie Sheen also gets into how he'll talk to his daughters about drugs which apparently involves him first making sure they didn't get ripped off and then finding out if it's the weed named after him (Charlie Sheen OG) which he makes it a point to say is an honor and numbs you right the hell up. Long story short: Someone knows Denise Richards can't read.

Garry D. Lacefield, Jimmy C. Henning, Timothy D. Phillips, and Monroe Rasnake, Department of Agronomy
Timothy (Phleum pratense) is native to the continents of Europe and Asia. The first appearance of timothy in North America has been traced to early settlements in New England. Early agriculturists referred to it as Herd grass after John Herd, who found it around 1711 growing wild along the Piscataqua River near Portsmouth, N.H. Later, Timothy Hanson played a major role in promoting the use of this grass in Maryland around 1720 and in North Carolina and Virginia. The first known use of the name timothy for this grass can be traced to Benjamin Franklin in a correspondence dated July 16, 1747. He planted this grass on a 300-acre farm near Burlington, Vt., and later wrote about the relative superior winter hardiness of timothy compared to red clover.
Timothy is a perennial bunch grass that does not spread by rhizomes or stolons. Timothy has a shallow, fibrous root system. It differs from other grasses in that its lower internodes remain short and become enlarged. This enlarged structure is referred to as a haplocorm, or corm, (Figure 1) and serves as a storage organ for carbohydrate reserves. Timothy is readily identified by its characteristic cylindrical seed head, blue-green color, and swollen tiller base. Individual timothy shoots live during parts of two growing seasons, and some new shoots develop each year from older ones, which results in a perennial stand.
Figure 1. The stem base of a timothy plant showing the enlarged lower internodes or corm.
Timothy is primarily used for hay and fits well in mixtures with an adapted legume such as alfalfa or red clover. Timothy hay, either alone or in mixtures with alfalfa, is much desired by horse owners. Over 70% of the total seasonal grass growth has been completed by the time the plant is at boot or a later maturity stage. In subsequent cuts of a timothy-grass mixture, the legume will predominate. In pure stands, the first crop is usually harvested for hay or silage and the following growth is grazed. Timothy grows well in the cool, humid sections of the northeastern United States. Kentucky is considered to be on the southern edge of the timothy production area.
"Clair" timothy is a naturalized variety obtained from the farm of Clair Andrew near Vevay, Ind. It was jointly released by the USDA Agricultural Research Service and the University of Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station in 1958. Clair has been observed to have good aftermath forage production compared to other varieties. Clair matures earlier and is more resistant to foliar diseases when grown in Kentucky. Limited information is available comparing the agronomic characteristics of Clair and more recently released varieties of timothy. Clair continues to produce forage dry matter yields equal or superior to that of newer varieties. In recent variety tests in Virginia, Clair yielded more than the six other timothy varieties included in the study. At another Virginia location, Clair yielded 21% and 24% more than "Timfor" and "Mohawk," respectively, over a three-year period. Finally, Clair yields were equivalent to those of "Tiller," Mohawk, and Timfor in the first year of a University of Kentucky study. (For more information on the most recent yield data on timothy, please see the 1993 Kentucky Timothy Variety Test Report, Agronomy Notes, Volume 27, No. 2).
Always plant certified seed of an improved variety of timothy. Tests at the University of Kentucky and elsewhere have found common timothy to nearly always be lower yielding than improved, certified varieties.
Timothy can be successfully seeded in late summer/early fall or late winter/early spring. Timothy usually should not be seeded in mixtures with other grasses because of differences in maturity, palatability, and management requirements. Most seedings in Kentucky are made in late summer or early fall. Seedings made later than mid-September have a greater risk of winter injury. Stands seeded late (October) produce less yield the following spring and may be more prone to erosion, heaving, and winter kill. A light seeding of a small grain (less than 1 bushel per acre) made with the timothy can aid establishment and reduce erosion risk and heaving. The success of the establishment of a timothy or timothy-legume mixture seeded with a small grain companion crop may depend on removal of the small grain before it begins to compete too strongly with the timothy.
Timothy can be seeded either directly into conventionally prepared (tilled) seedbed or drilled no-till into fields whose competing vegetation has been suppressed by herbicides. Prospective fields should be fertilized and limed according to soil test before seeding.
Any no-till drill that plants in 7-inch to 8-inch rows and is set to deliver seed at the proper rate and depth will produce high yielding stands of timothy with only one pass across a field. Cross drilling (drilling a field twice at right angles) may be desirable on highly erodible areas and can give quicker ground cover but will not lead to higher yields.
If seeding in pure stands, apply nitrogen at 50 lb per acre prior to seeding. Then plant at the rate of 4 to 6 lb of seed per acre. When seeding in a mixture with an adapted legume, reduce the rate of timothy seed to 2 to 4 lb per acre. Plant seed ¼ inch to ½ inch deep. In prepared seedbeds, cultipacking or rolling following seeding will firm the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact and will help to hasten germination and emergence.
For highest quality hay, timothy should be harvested in spring during late boot to early flowering stage. Beyond this stage, digestibility decreases at the rate of about 0.5% units per day (Table 1). Aftermath growth can be grazed at 4-week to 6-week intervals. Production and cutting frequency are greatly affected by soil moisture, temperature, fertility, and disease.

Timothy is especially sensitive to overgrazing because only a small part of its total leaf area is below the close-grazing height. Continuous close grazing prevents the storage of food reserves, reduces yield, and shortens the life of the plant.
Timothy is a very palatable grass and is usually ranked higher in energy than orchardgrass or tall fescue at comparable maturity stages. Quality (digestibility, protein content, and palatability) decline rapidly as the plant matures. Under good management and soil conditions, timothy yield is comparable to other cool season grasses, although 70% of the yield is usually obtained in the first cutting.
In addition to feed for cattle and sheep, timothy hay is widely used for horses and is a desirable grass as a component of horse pasture.
Pure Stands. For hay, apply 60 to 80 lb of N per acre to pure stands that green up in the spring. Yield responses are possible with N rates up to 100 lb per acre. Late fall applications of N (30 to 40 lb N/A) can stimulate tillering and promote higher seed yield the following spring.
Mixed Stands. In general, nitrogen should not be applied to any timothy-legume that contains at least 25% legumes. Yields of mixed stands with 40% legume will be comparable to timothy plus N. Although stands with less than 40% legume will yield less than timothy plus N, even small amounts of legume can have significant effects on animal performance. In addition, hay and pasture quality will be higher due to the legumes, and the cost per ton of production will be less in timothy-legume stands than when these are fertilized with N.
Historically, timothy has been an important seed crop in Kentucky. However, at present only a small acreage of timothy is grown for seed. Seed yields are variable, but yields of 300 to 500 lb of seed per acre are not uncommon. As with most cool-season grasses, seed yields are increased by application of nitrogen fertilizer. Late fall (November and December) N applications can stimulate tillering and support higher seed yields. Because of timothy's tendency to lodge, timothy seed fields should not receive more than 40 to 50 lb of nitrogen between February 15 and March 15. Earlier applications will result in some leaching of N, and later applications will encourage vegetative growth and lodging, lowering seed yields.

Why are furries generally always socialist?
I was just thinking -- that's really the case. I can't think of any furry capitalists. That is, there was Shaun Altman, but he was a crook. He used to hustle land, poker tables, and of course made the fake stock exchange that collapsed -- so I guess he was a capitalist. Shaun wasn't really a true furry though. Most organized furries *are* socialists.
Think of Michi Lumin and the Luskwood furries. I'll never forget when the Lindens FINALLY started reforming the group tools, after several years of enforced socialism -- groups were set to have votes for officers, then officer recall if you didn't like that person if they became a "tyrant" ostensibly (it was never used that way), and of course forced distribute of proceeds from land or object sales. The furries were furious that the Lindens were going to change out their initial hippie tools and make them more compatible with life. For one, there was that evil "officer recall" which was just sheer collectivist terror. It enabled people who paid tier to be voted out of their own group and expelled from the group land -- it was just awful.
I will never forget the time I was griefed by Chad Statotsky (who, not surprisingly, later became Shaun's boyfriend) who joined my open group, then engineered "officer recall votes" on me in my groups, so that I was frozen from acting in my group where I owned most of the land. (The wrecker Juani Wu did the same thing in the Metaverse Justice group, forcing officer recalls on me repeatedly to try to get me out of the group.)
Back in the early days, I hadn't figured out to put alts in every group at first and had a terrible time -- and when I complained about this form of sinister griefing to Blue Linden, he said, "Well, you'll just have to campaign to win the trust of your group" -- as if I had to run for election in order to...keep land that I had paid for myself, and held the tier on. It was awful -- these Lindens were such hippies. Anshe Chung tipped me off: that if I were expelled from my own group, if I kept an alt within the group with invite powers, that alt could then invite me back. Of course, in a group with multiple warring officers, there were constant shenanigans with this feature.
It took lots and lots of work to get the Lindens to change their early hippie ways. This blog post I wrote at the time was actually read by Cory Linden and I think the Lindens did finally realize that if they were going to have real-life businesses in their world, they had to deflect some of the enforced hippie stuff.
Like the ability of anyone made officer in your land to be able to manage it also being able to sell that land out from under you or transfer the land out of the group to his own group, a frequent griefscapade in those days. Like the forcible transfer of all income to the group equally to every member regardless of what their contribution was or whether they even logged in. There was no granulation.
Daniel Linden, who was something of a hippie himself (he was for leaving the Goreans to make their own laws and if any of their victims complained, letting their sim managers take the complaints), wanted to have groups that could accommodate any lifestyle, whether BDSM dom running everybody rigidly or hippie collective or families businesses in between -- but it took some doing to get him to see the destructiveness of some of the group tools even for their stated collectivist goals (a problem one still has with Soft Linden and his inability to admit and validate the problem of returning objects in shared on group land, which destroys non-copy objects).
So I'll reprint this discussion here as the mods might get it given how flightly the personalities are involved. Remember that awful Pussycat Catnip?
When the Lindens announced the abandoned land thing, I wrote this on the thread:
"No, it is not a positive change to introduce a huge and sudden glut of land into an already devalued land marked -- this is communism, whereas Second Life is supposed to have a capitalist free market simulation."
There are quite a few suck-ups in this thread praising the Lindens because they can only think in terms of what they see in front of them, and if there is abandoned land with junk on it in front of them, they think, by all means, let's have all that stuff go to sale automatically.
Pussycat gives me the usual hippie socialist crap:
"SL is supposed to be a world where we get together and play with each other and create things. That it has a market at all is only secondary. The nature of what that market evolves into is dictated by the primary goal of bringing people together to play and create, and is not 'promised or guaranteed' to be any particular model or ideology."
Supposed to be? Fuck that shit.
My reply:
No, no, no.
There is absolutely no concept that says "Second Life HAS to be a sandbox" and "the market is secondary".
None whatsoever.
That's only one perspective -- and usually happens to be the furry perspective, BTW (Luskwood, e.g.)
But it's very wrong to impose this on the entire world.
That's the feature of capitalism versus socialism -- if you have capitalism as the basis, socialism can deviate and mooch off it. But if you have socialism as the basis, capitalism is suppressed. So that's not freedom.
If you want a collectivist sim, then, make one. Do not impose that on everyone else who wants normal market sims.
The Lindens are in business to sell sims and currency. And it's more than fine that some of us, are too. If we weren't, they wouldn't be. It's just that simple. The market sustains those who want to play collective farm -- and that is what is secondary, not the market. The market is primary, and that's how it should be to sustain the world.
By claiming "it is not promised or guarantee to be any one ideology" in fact you are cleverly trying to impose one idea -- the "no market" sandbox idea, and act as if the market is "secondary" or "optional". It's not. It's fundamental.
Since time immemorial, real-life human societies have made markets and bought and sold at a profit. It is only with brutal force is this disrupted in some places at some historical periods (i.e. Soviet Union, 75 years).
The tabula resa is the market; the sandbox is built on top of that as a deviation.
The primary goal is not "to bring people to play with each other and create things". That may be your goal; it may be some people's goal. It isn't even the formal mission of LL, if you read it, which says something like "to connect us all to a virtual world to better humanity".
But it doesn't matter even what the original framers think -- SL is too big, too diverse, and too free, fortunately for us all, to have to be under the yoke of collectivism.
Open source sims (in culture and in code) without IP protection, monetarization, economies, DRM, etc. don't thrive. They're like Biosphere 2, artificially maintained by outside wealth and unable to sustain themselves."
Now, for the literalist collectivists out there, no, saying that the primary model should be capitalism isn't merely "imposing your world model on the world".
And that's because, as I just said, if you set the model default as capitalism with freedom, then you can create a restriction within it, with nerdy little socialist notions, within that context -- socialism on one sim. Wantfrieswiththat, which is Gwen's socialist paradise, is a good example of that concept -- it's capitalism-sustained with the owner, who has a good income in RL, as the backup.
Which brings me to a funny point about Michi. When we were doing that excercise of meeting in groups and making proposals to the Lindens, back when they used to work that way (imagine!), Michi INSISTED that there be collectivized ownership built into the tools -- that there not be one owner only. She absolutely HAD to have uravnilovka (forced levelling) so that her collective of furries in Luskwood, who shared their tier or whatever, could all be co-owners.
The Lindens made a system that had the ability of the initial owner make the decision to turn other officers into owners with owner powers just like him -- but it had to go in sequence. First one owner, then he turned on the other owners.
The result would be the perfect collective farm soviet that Michi dreamed of -- except she couldn't bear the sequencing. She insisted that the Lindens have a system where it occur simultaneously. But this just wasn't possible. You had to have one person found the group, then add others. It was just too complicated (and a completely crazy and hardly used edge case) to insist on everybody in a group simultaneously pulling the lever to form their collective. Michi bitched and bitched about this on the forums.
I kept pointing out the obvious: that if you make markets and individual rights be the tabula resa, you can branch off and make your socialisms and BDSM and Gor kingdoms off that basis, but it wouldn't work visa versa. If you kept the socialized hippie tools SL originally began with, you couldn't granulate the circulation of money, for example. Some people want group vendors or group objects to pay out only to people who worked in the group or contributed, not to every member/customer/tenant/role-player.
How is it that furries came to be socialist? Is it that they imagine this to be a more primitive form of organization?

DNS Poisoning
The Threat
DNS servers translate raw Internet addresses (such as 188.8.131.52) into human-friendly domain names (www.myfunsite.com). With a little work, the information provided by some DNS servers can be hijacked or misdirected -- "poisoned" -- allowing an attacker to send someone to any Web site they choose.
The Mechanism
The most common DNS poisoning attacks exploit flaws in DNS server software to allow fake name-resolution data to be sent to clients. One of the worst examples of DNS poisoning surfaced in 2008, when computer researcher Dan Kaminsky demonstrated how domains could be redirected with the then-current version of BIND, the software that most servers use to perform DNS resolution. The end result: You can hijack an entire domain -- including its subdomains, its mail servers (MX entries), its SPF records and everything else that can be stuffed into its DNS resources.
The Prevention
In this case, prevention is mostly up to the people running domain name services. Admins should update to the most recent version of BIND, which is much more skeptical about the data it receives and performs more thorough cross-checking to prevent poisoning.
If you have doubts about the validity of your DNS hosting, you can test it through the DNSStuff.com toolset. Its DNSreport Demo (free for regular users; the full non-demo version is for-pay) lets you check the results of DNS resolution for common domain names from your servers. If you suspect your DNS servers are dodgy or compromised, you can always use a different one by editing your TCP/IP settings or by setting your in-house router (if you use one) to resolve to another server. The Google Public DNS service might come in handy here, since Google claims its DNS is less vulnerable to poisoning.

On Friday, I wrote about three companies that have been leading us into the electric vehicle revolution. However, there are a few other companies that I think also deserve some props for their own electric vehicle efforts. These three companies fill an important second tier, in my opinion:
BMW was late to the game. Otherwise, it probably would have made it into the first tier, because I think it's going to rank pretty high on the electric car sales chart in 2014 and 2015. Only a handful of cars have been built electric from the ground up, and one of the best of those is the BMW i3.
With a price point and quality between the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S, the BMW i3 is in a good spot to see strong sales. Furthermore, while there are now over a dozen electric cars on the market, many of those have been created only to meet the fuel economy requirements of certain markets, especially the large Californian market. However, BMW seems passionate about the electric vehicle transition and is making the BMW i3 widely available in the US and Europe. It's really looking to sell this thing and become a leader in this emerging market, especially in its home country of Germany, which has practically no electric vehicle incentives.
Aside from the i3, BMW has also built the BMW i8, a plug-in hybrid electric sports car, also designed to be a plug-in car from the very beginning. And it is working on the BMW X5 eDrive, an electric SUV with a ton of benefits that could see excellent sales and might even be the first electric SUV on the US market. In the coming years, BMW has actually stated that it intends to electrify its entire lineup.
GM's leadership has fallen off a bit as of late. However, it brought one of the first modern plug-in cars to market and has offered it for sale widely. Actually, it has two versions, the Chevy Volt and the Opel Ampera. GM won many awards for these cars and has also pleased many customers. The Volt has topped customer satisfaction charts for years. However, GM hasn't brought production up to demand in recent years and has also been slow to keep up with price cuts in this increasingly competitive market.
It did look like GM was headed for some strong leadership on the battery side of things with innovative battery startup Envia, but then that turned into a dead end and it appears as though GM was deceived a bit along the way.
GM has also released the Chevy Spark EV, which received better reviews than its gasoline-powered sibling, but GM has only offered that in two US states. The company also recently released the Cadillac ELR, widely described as a luxury version of the Chevy Volt. However, it's often criticized as being twice as expensive as the Chevy Volt but not twice as good. It's also criticized for costing essentially the same as the Tesla Model S but not having nearly the same level of performance.
In other words, at times, GM is a strong leader in the EV space, but at other times, it's just inching along.
Mitsubishi Motors
Mitsubishi Motors is perhaps the most forgotten of the top six electric vehicle leaders. At least, I think so. I actually considered putting it in the first tier, but it hasn't done very well in the world's biggest electric vehicle market, the US. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV was one of the first electric cars on the market, and it sold okay for awhile. However, it couldn't keep up with the Nissan Leaf as well as later entrants to the market. When electric car costs started dropping, the i-MiEV stayed about where it was. As a result, better electric cars became cheaper and sales of the i-MiEV tanked. A big price cut is supposed to be around the corner, but until then, the i-MiEV is at the back of the pack.
On the other hand, the i-MiEV isn't Mitsubishi's only electrified vehicle. The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in is a plug-in hybrid electric SUV that has seen tremendous demand. In Japan and Europe, high sales have often put it in the top three of monthly and even annual plug-in car sales, even first and second on many occasions. Demand is so high (and supply limited) that its entry into the US market keeps getting pushed back. It's unclear when the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in will make it to the US market, but I'm confident it will do very well there once it does.
There are a handful of other companies that deserve some kudos here or there for their electric vehicle efforts, but I think these three and the three I wrote about on Friday have really been leading the way.

This must have been awkward. President Obama flew in for a visit to Detroit, Michigan. One of the politicians meeting the President was Governor Rick Snyder, who has popped up in the news far too frequently in recent days after pursuing his party's anti-union agenda. During his speech which was geared toward the economy and his administration's tax standoff with congressional Republicans, Obama said, "These so called right-to-work laws, they don't have anything to do with economics. They have to do with politics."
The President added, "We don't want a race to the bottom. We want a race to the top. America is not going to compete based on non-skilled, low pay, no workers' rights."
One of Michigan's top newspapers, who supported Snyder for two years agrees. In fact, they went even further and called Gov. Synder's deceptive tactics "pure greed."
So it had to be a bit uncomfortable for Snyder to meet with the President at the airport especially knowing full well that he's being called out not only by Democrats, but also by Independents and even some Republicans; one in particular being a Tea Party Republican.
Detroit Free Press reports, "Obama said Detroit Diesel will will invest $120 million in its Redford Township plant and create 115 new jobs." That's what we call job creation, not union busting for partisan purposes. The president discussed the success of the auto bailout. stating that it has added over a quarter of a million new jobs.
