The Contraception Battle: Is This the Culture Warriors' Waterloo?
I've argued for some time that today's right wing is a pathologically 'masculine' reaction to the increased visibility and influence of feminine values beginning in the '60s. Cultural feminism arose out of liberal feminism. Women in religions across America began seeking to become ministers, rabbis, and similar roles. Most importantly I think, NeoPaganism emphasized the central role of the Goddess and the Divine Feminine as well as serving as a kind of spiritual leaven encouraging people in other faiths to consider the feminine side of Spirit in their traditions.
The American right wing's obsession with women and with their male opponents as insufficiently masculine, their putting down women except those lacking any noticeable feminine values, such as Coulter and Palin, as well as their pathetic worship of movie actors and performers playing pretend macho roles as role models all points to their pathology. This pathology seems to be a dominant characteristic of those who worship domination and the politics of a baboon troop. While mostly on the political right, we also saw it in Stalin's Russia. Its deepest foundation is domination.
There is a difference between the pathological masculinity of the political right, from the fascists in post WWI Europe to the American right of today, and the one-sided dominance of masculine values that characterized America before the '60s and lingers into the present (and that characterizes so many other societies). The difference is that one-sidedly masculine societies respect the feminine so long as it stays subordinate to them. The Victorian fantasy that the wife kept the house as a little oasis of civilization while her husband went out into the battle of life is an example. Her role was essential, but purely supportive. Pathological masculinity attacks the feminine and glories in their supposed superiority to it.
Now, enjoying just enough political power to think they can have it all, these "culture warriors" can no longer keep their deep animus toward feminine values hidden. They learned nothing from their Planned Parenthood and Komen debacle. Now their attacks on contraception combined with Rush Limbaugh's ignorant, vicious, and misogynistic assaults on any woman who disagrees with him have taken them a bridge too far. Their attack on contraception that has shown them to be liars when bleating about religion, and now the fat jerk is hemorrhaging sponsors. The authoritarian soul of the American right wing has been shown for what it is beneath all the fine words about "small government," "patriotism," "values," and the constitution.
They are attacking contraception because nothing else has so radically changed relations between the sexes in our society, ever. Wednesday's NYT has a revealing column on the economic impact of the pill. In it Annie Lowrey reports a number of studies showing the effect of the pill: "by allowing women to delay marriage and childbearing, the pill has also helped them invest in their skills and education, join the work force in greater numbers, move into higher-status and better-paying professions and make more money over all." In addition, it radically changed how people get married. "By decoupling sex from marriage, young people were able to put off getting married and spend more time shopping around for a prospective partner."

The first thing I do when I install Windows is uncheck the "Enhance pointer
precision" box under mouse settings in the control panel. The reason for this
is I can't stand the "sticky" effect of the cursor with this setting turned
on. The same goes for games, in particular First Person Shooters. So the fact
that mouse acceleration is turned on when I'm playing Halo 2, makes it a less
than satisfactory gaming experience.
This is not the first time I've encountered this problem, it was a
constantly re-occuring issue on the Windows XP 32bit platform. You can still
find tons of information on how to "fix" this problem, it involves some
registry key changes, and it has always worked for me.
The problem is that no one seems to have made the same progress on the Vista
x64 platform yet.
Is there any registry changes that you can do to fix this problem?
And I don't mean setting MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 to 0.

Twenty Taters Later
2017 Marks two decades of Tatering !
Yep, 2017 is the 20th Anniversary of the band, which began in Jan 1997 with just Craig & Brad as a duo! Lots happening this year, including a show with The Richmond Symphony, so check back here and our Facebook page to keep up! And be sure to check out the calendar page to see some of the shows being added to the calendar!
"The Taters soar through a catalog of Americana and '60s-era pop influences"
The Taters play an eclectic mix of roots rock, pop, country, skiffle & Americana, a sound that's been compared favorably to a mixture of Everlys, Orbison, Beatles, and Nick Lowe. Writing in Billboard Magazine, critic Gordon Ely described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long time… Without a trace of self-consciousness or pretension, the Taters draw up a formula that can rightly be claimed as their own".
|"Don't know the Taters? Pick up Taters Party to start, and then dive into the back catalog. You won't be sorry"– Alan Haber, Pure Pop Radio
"The crowd cheered, people danced, they absolutely saved our event!"
|"Think 'Beatles For Sale', if Marty Robbins were a primary influence instead of Carl Perkins "- No Depression Magazine
"Picture ELO gone Americana, and you'll get the idea"
"We can't think of any group we would rather present on our stage"
|"The connection between singer-bassist Craig Evans and guitarist Brad Tucker goes back more than 20 years. That kind of knowledge and interplay is responsible for the crisp harmonies and infectious hooks of the band's old school roots-pop"- Durham Herald-Sun"Country roots-pop, dashed with the genius songwriting of 60's & 70's power-pop, like a curious, accidental mix of the Mavericks, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and the Beatles" – CD Baby

When the Buffalo Bills traded up in the NFL Draft to select Sammy Watkins, the management of the organization made it clear that they wanted to win, and win now.
Watkins has completed his first minicamp with the team, and is enjoying the next few weeks off before training camp begins. Still, with the limited time he's spent with the Bills, Watkins says he's already fitting in with the team.
"I fit in great," Watkins said during a media session at a ProCamps event he hosted at West Seneca West High School. "It's a great organization. I came into a good situation. We've got a quarterback, wide receivers, running backs. All I've got to do is be Sammy Watkins, and that's play the game, listening to the coaches and go out hard every practice and just work hard."
Watkins has handled himself like a veteran since draft day. He has emphasized the importance of hard work since his first press conference, which is something the Buffalo fan base can appreciate.
"In this league, you have to work on everything, every day," Watkins said. "You can't think that you're perfect. You've always got to critique yourself through every motion that you run, every route, every turn, block, everything. It's so detailed that you've got a lot of stuff to work on."
While Watkins focuses on preparing for his rookie season, the leaders on the team have given him an example to follow. The Bills are coming into a season where, if not nationally, they are locally expected to make a run at the playoffs and build off of last season. Watkins says that he appreciates the example that is being set by the leaders of the team, and that he will continue to learn from them.
"We've got great guys that are on the team," Watkins said. "You've got guys that help out the younger guys. Guys that look out for everybody. You don't have too much clowning around, even though we have fun. But you've got the guys that you sense team leadership and I feel like everybody has been accountable. Such as Mario Williams, you've got CJ Spiller and those guys making $30 million that are at practice every day, that are helping us every day, that are preparing us for the game."
As every Bills fan is well aware, Buffalo has not been to the playoffs since 1999 and currently holds the longest active playoff drought in the league. The Bills are expecting Watkins to be a key player in ending that drought, and he believes the team is capable of achieving greatness that resembles the teams of the early '90s.
"Back to the great organization that they were years ago," Watkins said when asked where he sees the team headed in the future. "I think it just starts with the coaches and the players. I think if we get everything right with the players, we start buying into what the coaches are preaching, the team will be alright. First we've got to start by getting into the playoffs. This team is capable of doing that. We've just got to be smart and play our game and be the Buffalo Bills."
While Watkins is entering just his first NFL season, Bills fans have been starved and suffering for a winner for quite some time. He needs to be the impact player that helps bring the team from a laughing stock, to a contender, and he knows that.Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Bills, Football, NFL

We'll be visiting NYC from Seattle for my 40th birthday in December. Its my first time to the city. We're staying in Brooklyn (Carroll Gardens) we can travel within reason.
Looking for fun/yum dinner recommendations for a largish (10 - 16) party, we'll have a few vegetarians in the group but are otherwise not picky eaters, we like booze/decent wine selection. Not too upscale... but not on a tight budget either... Also ideas for fun bars nearby for pre/post gathering would be great.
Ok go!

The Last Command
The breadth of Josef von Sternberg's satire is laid out in the passage at William Powell's office, where the elegant axis (perfect casting via a phantom from Czarist Russia with "no film experience") is complemented by sang-froid gagwork (the ķmigrķ filmmaker ponders a studio portrait, half a dozen lighters spring into the frame as he reaches idly for a cigarette). Emil Jannings is brought to the Hollywood breadlines, old and pitiful, his head quavering due to "a great shock" from the past; a lateral pan navigates him through the mob grabbing uniforms, beards and bayonets, he stares into a mirror to apply makeup for a role, and relives history. Imperial Russia, 1917: The tumultuous masses line up, Jannings parades with supercilious majesty, a grand duke swathed in furs and smoke. The Revolution draws near, Powell lies among the rebels disguised as a theater director, his leading lady (Evelyn Brent, "the most dangerous revolutionist in Russia") is invited for supper by the general. The etiquette of seduction (where some things "should always be done after caviar" -- Lajos Bir¾'s scenario is lapidated from a rich Lubitsch anecdote) is one of glittering surfaces cultivated and torn asunder by Sternberg. Upheavals shake the nation, yet the central moment finds the heroine's mask cracked by emotion, a trembling hand before the assassination attempt in the boudoir and a poker face smeared with tears; when the Revolution explodes and the aristos are lined up against a wall and shot in a contorted mural, she switches from Mata Hari to Mother Russia with red flag in the wind, the only way to save her new love from the rabid mob. All grist to the mill of Hollywood, where orders are now barked by studio executives and the old man is fitted into his imperial uniform, the vengeful Powell mans the cameras. Enacting a battle charge in the studio is meant as the deposed general's ultimate degradation, but the stirred Jannings rises to the occasion, usurps the mise-en-scene from Powell and, taking a cue from Sternberg's art, fills it with passion and illusions. With Jack Raymond. In black and white.

I'd really like to dance more, run more, do ceramics again, cook more, write more, see more movies, and walk more.
I am a proudly polyamorous person, and want my relationships to be always open. I like meeting new people, and plan to continue to do it forever. I like polyamory for many reasons, including that I like having sex with multiple people. But probably the biggest reason I am poly is that I am a radical individualist. I like doing different things with different people, having quiet partners and loud ones, being intimate with optimists and pessimists, with fast movers and people who take it slow. I enjoy being introduced to new activities by new people, but I don't end up liking everything, and no-one likes everything I do. And that's a good thing, because it means I get to have a diverse set of friends and partners.
As a more conventional answer to this question, I work early mornings stocking shelves (and moving shelves) for a retail store, and I do volunteer ecological restoration because I love both the hands on work and the native plants and ecosystems.
Figuring out difficult intellectual issues.
It's probably the most important, most quickly noticed category for person to person interactions in our society. I usually get categorized as female (it's a category that works well for me, and one I've been placed in my entire life). I can tell people usually categorize me as woman because "guys" try very hard to let me go onto the bus first, but sometimes people use male forms of address for me, so I know they are gendering me as male.
I went ahead and took advantage of OkC's diverse set of gender choices. I'm super excited by the fact that OkC finally stopped enforcing the gender binary, so I want to celebrate that diversity. And the options I chose ("Gender Nonconforming" and "Cis Woman") feel quite authentic to me. The old option of "Woman" also feels authentic, but this new choice gives you more information, and I like information! I hope you do, too.
Octavia E. Butler (Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents) is by far my favorite fiction author, although I also love Ursula K. LeGuin, and Barbara Kingsolver. I'm currently reading and loving Rebecca Solnit. She writes non-fiction which is extremely literary, interconnected, full of well explained allusions, and fascinating.
My favorite movies include Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Children of Men, City of God, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I'd really like to broaden my viewing of films, to include things that appeal particularly to me. I've always used watching film as a thing to do with other people, and therefore seen films that my friends or SOs were particularly into. I want to start seeing films that are about women, or art, or nature, or polyamory or otherwise interesting to me, but I do want to see them with other people, because I love being able to talk about the film I just saw.
As far as music goes, I like dancing to almost anything with a beat, using background music to help me concentrate, going to concerts of strange modern music, and signing along to anything I grew up with and can remember the words to.
I gave these sections in order of preference. I love food, am deeply interested in reading, like the visuals in movies and often enjoy movies themselves, and am working on developing musical taste.
My cats
Networked computing devices
I also think about the books I've recently read, the news, and whatever people I've talked to recently are interested in.
Lately, I've been thinking quite a bit about kink, gendered expectations of dating, and how they interact. I happen to be sexually submissive, and my kinks line up quite well with most of the gendered expectations our society has about sex. Except for the whole "women don't want sex" idea ... good sex makes me very, very happy, indeed. But I often let my partners initiate sex, I usually want to do what they want to do, and I really enjoy dominant partners. However, I consider my sexuality to be kinky instead of considering it to be gender conforming. And I am certainly not gender conforming in my appearance, or in my behavior outside of the bedroom.
I certainly appreciate women aesthetically, but maybe my sometimes sexual appreciation of women is constructed by the general objectification of women in our society. It also occurs to me that my appreciation for men is strongly supported by society as a whole, and that the fact that men pursue women very much enables my sexual interest in men ('cause being appreciated is sexy). All of that said, I think it makes sense to identify as straight right now. Maybe that won't last, but that's OK, too.
If you do choose to message me, please don't write me as if you're composing a text messages; instead, write to me as if this were an email. Short messages, exchanged quickly, are not my forte, and getting an extremely short first message is a serious turn off. There is no reason to write an essay: just try and see if you can get above 200 characters, please?

Kimmel's 2nd Talladega Win Opens ARCA Lead

Kimmel's 2nd Talladega Win Opens ARCA Lead
Frank Kimmel improved ThorSport Racing's overall 2013 winning percentage to a stunning 50 percent with his victory Friday in the rain-shortened International Motorsports Hall of Fame 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Kimmel's win in the No. 44 Ansell / Menards Toyota was his second career victory at the 2.66-mile oval and his 77th career win in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. That brings him to within two wins of the mark of ARCA's all-time career victories leader, Iggy Katona, who had 79 wins in his career that spanned 1953-1977.
"That's a big deal to me," Kimmel said about the win record. "I've never been a big stat guy, but Iggy was a hero of mine. He raced with my dad (Bill Kimmel)."
With his third victory for ThorSport in his second season with the team based in Sandusky, Ohio, Kimmel scored his fourth consecutive top-10 finish this season in as many races and extended his points lead over SCOTTS Rookie Challenge leader Mason Mingus, who finished second Friday, to 40 points.
Even better yet, Kimmel became the third ThorSport driver to enjoy Victory Lane this season. In the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, ThorSport has won three of the season's four races: two by second-place point man Johnny Sauter and the most recent race, at Kansas Speedway, by championship leader Matt Crafton.
"It's great to be back in Victory Lane," said Kimmel, who last won in August 2012 at Springfield, Ill., and who celebrated his 51st birthday three days before the race, on April 30. "The last time I won here at Talladega (in fall 2006), it was shortened by darkness.
"The car ran great (Friday). I was drafting there with John Wes Townley early and worked our way to the front. I've always said you win here with your crew more than anywhere you go."
Townley was forced to start at the rear when his pole speed was disallowed, but he and Kimmel came to the front quickly. Kimmel took over second, behind leader Grant Enfinger, at lap 20.
Kimmel's crew gave him a quick, fuel-only pit stop under the race's second caution, at lap 26 and with rain threatening planned for that to be their only stop.
"That's exactly right -- we only had to make the one stop but the guys performed like they always do," Kimmel said. "This is definitely a team sport and the way the cars are prepped is just outstanding. These guys work their butts off back at the shop, preparing our cars and Todd Bodine's trucks, and that's what makes this speedway car fast, is a lot of hard work. They did a good job."
Kimmel restarted the race third behind two cars that didn't pit and was second when the third caution immediately flew, at lap 34, for a big accident triggered by Kimmel's Salem nemesis, Milka Duno. That eliminated a number of his chief contenders -- including Enfinger and third-place point man Tom Hessert, who won at Salem.
Kimmel passed Josh Williams for the lead at lap 43, four laps before the scheduled halfway point and was able to easily hold it on three subsequent restarts.
When rain began falling, causing the race to go under its seventh and final caution at lap 72, Kimmel eventually brought the field to pit road with 21 laps remaining of the scheduled 94. A short time later, the celebration in an impromptu Victory Lane, in one of the end units in the NASCAR Nationwide Series garage, was on.
Kimmel finished fourth in the same Camry to start the season at Daytona, but was never able to get himself into position to challenge for the win. At Talladega, after the big crash, Kimmel was able to handle everyone who was left.
That included a move on a restart with 31 laps left of the original distance, when the veteran Kimmel could sense a group of his competitors trying to gang up on him to draft past him and into the lead.
"Those guys were piling-up, and I knew they were going to try to do that," Kimmel said. "They had got a good run going on the outside and I saw Mason (Mingus) in the 32 go high, and I just tried to stay in front of him.
"I lost a race a few years ago when I didn't stay in front of a guy that I should've. You better learn from your mistakes, and Mason did a nice job -- just like he did at Daytona -- and he didn't run all over me. But I plugged them all up, just ruined their momentum and slowed them down, and that's the trick here, is momentum.
"If the guys can team up on you, they're gonna pass you, so it worked out good for us."
It certainly did for Kimmel, who scored his 16th top-10 finish in his last 21 superspeedway races at either Daytona or Talladega.
The fact that the team's next race is at ARCA's home track, the half-mile Toledo (Ohio) Speedway on Sunday, May 19, only makes Kimmel smile even wider -- actually akin to the grin that was on Kimmel's face when he opened his weekend on Wednesday night by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for the AA Southern League's North Division leaders, the Birmingham Barons.
"Actually, every race I go to with this team, I'm excited because the cars are awesome," Kimmel said. "It was a good day for us (Friday), to come out of here -- a place where you're just never sure what's going to happen -- with a win and the car ran great, well, we'll just keep plugging."

Obesity hospital admissions triple in five years
20th February 2013 - The number of patients admitted to hospitals in England because of obesity has tripled in the last five years, according to official figures released today.
There were 11,736 admissions with a primary diagnosis of obesity in 2011-12, 1% more than in the previous year and more than three times the 3,862 recorded in 2006-7.
A spokesman for the National Obesity Forum has described the findings - compiled by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) - as "tragic".
The number of females admitted because they are obese continues to outstrip males. There were 8,740 females admitted to hospital in 2011-12 compared with 2,990 males.
The North East of England saw the highest admission rate at 56 per 100,000 of the population, while the East of England saw the lowest rate at 12 per 100,000.
The report, 'Statistics on Obesity, Physical Activity and Diet, England 2013', underlines warnings that we are becoming increasingly obese as a population. Between 1993 and 2011, the proportion of adults who are either overweight or obese has risen from 58% to 65% in men and from 49% to 58% in women.
During the same period the proportion of adults with a normal body mass index ( BMI) decreased from 41% to 34% in men and from 50% to 39% among women.
Among the other main findings:
- There was a marked increase in the proportion of adults that were obese from 13% in 1993 to 24% in 2011 for men and from 16% in 1993 to 26% for women in 2011
- The proportion of adults with a raised waist circumference increased from 20% to 34% among men and from 26% to 47% among women between 1993 and 2011

Fall in numbers of 'normal weight' adults
Tim Straughan, HSCIC chief executive, says in a statement: "It won't have escaped the majority of people that obesity is a high profile issue in this country. This annual report is important in bringing clarity to how this actually affects people, patients and the NHS, from the weighing scales to the operating theatre.
"Based on the Body Mass Index measurement, the proportion of adults estimated to be of a normal weight has dropped substantially since this report's time series began in 1993. This data, along with the breadth of other obesity related information in this report, will be of interest to the public as well as health professionals and policy makers."

There are lots of sources for flatulence, such as overindulging, eating too rapidly, extreme usage of artificial sweeteners or refined carbs, food allergic reactions and intolerance, an insufficiency of vitamin B, excessive usage of alcohol, psychological stress and parasites. Among the most usual sources can be lactose, found in milk items such as milk and cheese. Numerous various other healthy foods can also trigger gas, such as cabbage, beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onions, cauliflower, whole wheat flour, radishes, bananas and apricots. Luckily, with some modifications in our food options and eating routines, the possibilities of this humiliating condition can be significantly minimized or gotten rid of.
Do not overeat, and chew food slowly. Attempt to determine if it is a particular food causing the issue and remove it from your diet plan.
Vitamin B complex, specifically B3 (niacin) rich foods like light-meat chicken, tuna, salmon, turkey, enhanced flour, peanuts, and fortified cereals can be helpful as they help in the intestinal process and in converting food to energy.
Yogurts that have acidophilus and peppermint oil in water drunk with the meal can also aid with the intestinal procedure. You may desire to try and consume proteins and carbohydrates in various meals if the problem persists.
In addition, peppermint and fennel-based teas serve for periodic indigestion, especially when there is flatulence and a feeling of fullness. Ginger has been shown to promote the flow of digestion juices, a normal procedure that supports the intestinal system.

Lower order shines again as India draw first test
NOTTINGHAM, England, (Reuters) – A first test of unlikely batting records fizzled out into a draw as India declared on 391 for nine late on the fifth day against England at Trent Bridge yesterday.
India recovered from losing three wickets early in the final day which briefly gave the hosts a glimpse of victory but test debutant Stuart Binny and tail-ender Bhuvneshwar Kumar both scored half centuries to snuff out the danger.
The Nottingham ground had not hosted a drawn test match since 2002, when India were also the visitors, but despite both teams suffering mid-innings mini collapses in their first innings, bowling proved a slog on a flat pitch.
India would have hoped to have been bowling for a victory yesterday but an all-time test record 10th-wicket stand of 198 between Joe Root and James Anderson on day four meant they had work to do just to ensure the draw.
"We dragged ourselves out of a hole in this game (on Saturday)," England captain Alastair Cook told Sky Sports.
"We had a poor session when we lost six wickets. It was an outstanding 100 from Root and with Jimmy to have got 80-something. I didn't see it coming but thank goodness he got it."
The tourists began the day on 167 for three, a lead of 128 runs, but under gloomy skies which aided swing bowling, England's attack made early inroads.
In the second over of the day Stuart Broad got the ball to reverse swing and Virat Kohli (eight), widely considered India's most dangerous batsmen, was trapped leg before.
Broad claimed his second victim soon after when Ajinkya Rahane fell for 24 after edging a swinging delivery to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (11) was dropped by his England counterpart Alastair Cook off Broad but failed to make the most of his luck when Liam Plunkett sent his stumps cart wheeling out of the ground with a full delivery.
At that stage an England victory was still possible but Ravindra Jadeja stemmed the tide with a laboured 31 before edging an Anderson delivery to Prior shortly after lunch.
"Today you saw no matter what pitch you play on, teams can be put under pressure, but unfortunately a couple of their guys got stuck in," Anderson said.
"We knew there was a small chance of winning but we gave it everything. Cookie was very keen to give the first couple of hours a real push, which we did."
As the match idled towards a draw, under-pressure England captain Cook, who has not enjoyed a win in nine test matches, decided to rest his four-man seam attack ahead of the second test at Lord's on Thursday and introduced part-time spinners Moeen Ali and Joe Root.
Ali followed his two wickets from the previous day when he trapped Binny lbw but not before the batsman had reached a maiden test half century – 78 off 114 balls.
In a test of milestones Kumar's half-century, following his first innings 58, meant he was only the second number nine to reach 50 in each innings in a test match, matching the record of Peter Siddle against India in Delhi last year.
Kumar also shared in a 111 partnership with number 11 Mohammed Shami in India's first innings – a last-wicket record for India against England.
Even Cook himself had a bowl, much to the delight of the home crowd, and he was allowed a smile with the wicket of Ishant Sharma (13) when he edged to Prior.
"A few people aren't talking to me," Cook explained after a playful two overs in which he played up to cheers of the fans.
"It was a extraordinary moment for me to have more test wickets than [bowling coach] David Saker.
"We threw everything into today but when they got above 250-260 you felt we weren't going to win. We had a sniff when they were only 200 ahead but the wicket won."
India declared after his over and as stumps were drawn all eyes moved to the home of cricket next week.
The visitors have not played a five-match test series on English soil since 1959 and are in search of their first away win since 2011, while England are chasing their first victory of coach Peter Moores' second spell in charge.

Munson Laboratory Mini Cutters for coarse materials are industrial-grade, heavy-duty rotary cutters mated to 15 horsepower drives, designed for low to moderate production rates. They are miniature versions of Munson's production-scale SCC Screen Classifying Cutters and as such, handle the same materials and offer similar size reduction characteristics but at lower capacities. Like SCC Cutters, they are effective at cutting hard, soft and fibrous materials into controlled particle sizes with minimal fines at high rates, and feature a proprietary helical rotor design with multiple cutter blades attached to a helical array of staggered holders called "interconnected parallelograms" to continuously shear oversize materials against twin, stationary bed knives.
Laboratory Mini Cutters are offered in four sizes (2", 3", 6" and 12"), all having 4" diameter rotors with three or four flutes as follows:

Where are the studies that show this, great you have listed a couple of authorities, just because they are low carbers doesn't make them right, all the points you mention are opinion or hypothesis unles you can present the data that proves it.
I have not advocated a Ketogenic diet,
But from the evidence that I have seen presented I do not think it would likely be a problem, but I would like to know more if there is more to know.
On balance if you are planning pregnancy then go the safest bet with a well rounded Primal diet, I agree there is no substantial evidence to say a Ketogenic diet is safe in Pregnancy in all circumstances, but likewise for the counter argument.
So let's just have the discussion without fingering individuals as "Baby Killers" to support your own opinion.

Awful quality
I bought this on January for my mom. First, one of the doors was cracked when it arrived. We had to wait a couple of more days for the replacement to arrive. A month later, the drawer just fell. I though maybe she had put a lot of weight in it, but that was not the case. Right now that thing is been covered with a table cloth of how hideous it looks with a hanging drawer. For this price and quality a would have save a couple of hundreds by walking into ***Read More
Very good.
I really like the extra storage space and counter top it gives me. Very well made. Same depth as cabinets. I do have to oil it occasionally, as I didn't stain or seal it. I Would buy again if needed.Read More

Great unit
This was great it fit perfectly next to our stove so I could add extra storage and counter space! Fits all those big appliances and platters that wont fit into your normal cabinets! I was missing some screws from the kit and I called the number inside the box and had them 2days later! I seperated all the nuts and bolts into piles and labeled what they were for and once I started putting it together it went so smooth since I already had things divided up. Make sure you count eveything first to find out if you are missing anything before you start to put it together. I love the look and craftsmanship of the unit is great! Plus overstock shipping charges made this offer even better most stores would charge atleast $60 for shipping!Read More
beautiful kitchen island
it was a bit of a struggle to put it together, but completely worth it. it is a beautiful solid wood island. it fit with our kitchen perfectly. the castors roll nicely, it is very functional. the price was exceptional. it was delivered very fast too.Read More
Great cart!
Purchased this island/cart for kitchen. All pieces/parts were included, all in excellent condition. We may have spent more than we wanted, but the hardwood of this cart was worth it. It's extremely solid, the castors/wheels are solid and it looks great. Took my husband about 3 hours to assemble with minimal assistance from me. Only thing I didn't like was instructions say to oil the wood once/week for 3 weeks, then once/month for 3 months, then as needed. Not a problem except no oil was included with the cart, that would have been nice. So after shopping locally with no luck, I had to order butcher block oil on-line. Other than that, a great island/cart for the price, we're very happy.Read More
Beautiful and sturdy
We're very pleased with this purchase. My husband assembled it one day while I was at work, so I can't comment on ease of assembly other than to say that the screws were very tight. My husband took the manufacturer's advice and dipped the screws in a little vegetable oil, which helped a lot. The manufacturer dips all the wood in oil before shipping, but we gave it a couple more coats, especially on the top. It looks great. We're very pleased with how it looks and how sturdy it is. The sides and back are laminated, but they look very nice after assembly. I discovered after visiting the manufacturer's website that this product is made in America with American wood and the company is fairly "green," so overall we feel very good about this purchase.Read More
Overpriced for PRESSED wood
READ the details of the item. We were excited about an island advertised as being made of hardwood but did not notice that the back and sides are made of pressed wood and veneer. We counted all of the screws and parts because of other reviews and although we had the correct number of pieces, they weren't all the correct size. That caused some splitting of the pressed board sides. The caster sleeves extend over the edges of the wood. The height is good and the island squared up nicely once we finished putting it together. Assembly takes a couple of hours; be prepared for that. Also, we recommend putting wood glue in all of the screw holes, especially wherever you are working with the pressed wood and the drawer. This item is priced too high to have pressed wood. I wish we had read all of the details more carefully! We would have spent the money on a different piece.Read More
Questions & Answers
The best way to treat the wood is with mineral oil. If the top needs to be cleaned use a damp cloth to wipe the surface and then reapply the mineral oil. Do not use furniture polish on the unit.
"What tools are needed to put island together"
Hello Kathy, this will use standard tools, screwdriver, allen wrench. Thanks for shopping with us!
"We are looking for a deep cabinet to convert into a kitchen table by adding our own granite counter top, which we would center over the cabinet. We understand that we would lose the use of the top drawer. Do you know any reason why this wouldn't work?"
Hello Faux, this should work well for your needs. Thanks for shopping with us!
"How heavy is it? I'm an older female that is alone & I want to be sure I can move it inside if delivered while I'm working. Also, I only have basic tools (no electrical tools). Will I be able to put this together without a drill, etc?"
Hello SAM, this is approximately 68 pounds so you should be fine moving this by yourself. If its still a little to heavy I would just open the box and take a few pieces out. This would only require standard house hold tools. No power tools. Have a great day!
"Is the stain of the counter top safe to use as a chopping board for food?"
Hello sam, yes, the counter top is safe for chopping food. Thanks for shopping with us!
"Why did you choose this product?"
the shape and the color
I expect this island will increase some counter space for our small kitchen.
Perfect size for my new home.
i have no usable counter space for cutting but a very large open space in the kitchen. this unit was one of the deepest portable butcher block islands i was able to find anywhere on the internet and had better reviews than some of the other comparable items. Even though it does not match my kitchen (original from 78 POS) i have high hopes that it will be perfectly functional.
For the storage, and the fact it is made in USA
IT fit an oddly shaped area in my kitchen and seems fairly well made for the price
"Can this be stained?"
Hello dnp33, we would recommend stripping the finish before applying a stain. Thanks for shopping with us. J.E
"Is the drawer a real drawer or just the look of one?"
Hello9 jls5656, yes, it has a functional drawer that is 24.5 in. wide x 18 in. deep x 4 in. high. Thank you for shopping with us.
It is a real drawer. I bought this and love it there are two shelves inside the cabinet and the doors close flush. We have a dog so we added a tiny latch on top as the magnet isn't strong enough to keep doors closed when our dog bangs her toys into it. So to keep doors from popping opening we added a tiny hook latch to keep them closed.
"How many shelves are in the cabinet and can they be removed for an open space? If not then what are the dimensions of the storage space with the shelves in? Thanks"
Thank you for contacting us, nd2004. This has one shelf inside the cabinet and the shelf is on 4 steel pins and can be removed. The interior cabinet is 27.5 wide x 20 deep x 22.25 high. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
"Are there any drawers or cabinets on the back side or is it solid wood?"
Hi ben4321, we were able to verify this information with our support team. This unit has a solid back on it. Thanks for shopping with us.
"Is the top a cutting board? Why do some QA say it is assembled and others do not"
Thank you for contacting us michaelsaxon. We apologize for the confusion we might have caused. This product is not assembled. Yes the top is a butcher block. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
It did not come assembled and took a while to put together but directions are good. I would not use the top for cutting.
"How deep are the shelves on each end?"
Hello maplewoodhill, Side Shelf Dimensions: 20 in. wide by 3.675 in. deep by 6.75 in. high (clearance). Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
"What are the dimensions of the cabinet door opening with both doors open? Is there a shelf inside?"
There is a shelf inside. With the doors open I can put a full-size convection toaster oven in the bottom.
"Does this product arrive assembled?"
Yes, it does.
No, it doesn't come assembled. We purchased it and had to assemble it.
"Is the top butcher block or just oiled wood?"
Solid domestic hardwood tops, legs, braces, doors, drawers, and side shelves. It is not has thick as a butcher block but it is hardwood.
does this big island come assembled?
Big island come assembled with oiled wood

DeLuca receives honorary doctorate from University of PerugiaPatrick DeLuca now has something in common with Pope John XXII – an honorary doctorate from the University of Perugia, Italy.
DeLuca is a professor at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy who has spent the past 15 years building a strong professional relationship with faculty and students at the University of Perugia. He has visited on several occasions as a lecturer, and also has invited visiting students to work with him in his own lab at UK.
The University of Perugia is one of the oldest higher learning institutions in Europe and the tradition of granting honorary degrees is a rich and honored one; the first honorary doctorate given by the school was to Pope John XXII in 1311.
DeLuca received the prestigious Honorary Doctorate from the University of Perugia during a ceremony on May 30.
In the fall of 2004, DeLuca was notified that the University of Perugia's Faculty of Pharmacy had nominated him for this honor and last year, he learned that the University's Magnificent Rector had officially approved to confer the degree.
DeLuca, along with a group of 20 supporters from the United States, including family, friends and colleagues from UK, attended the formal ceremony where he gave a speech about his research in novel drug delivery systems for treating prostate cancer, endometriosis and schizophrenia and future challenges in this field of study.
DeLuca, a longtime UK faculty member, received his doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences from Temple University. He is a Fellow of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, AAPS Executive Council Member-at-Large, and editor of the AAPS PharmSciTech scientific journal. At UK, his primary teaching and research responsibilities and interests are in novel drug delivery, formulation and process development of proteins and peptides, and freeze-drying.
He is the author or co-author of 200 research articles and book chapters, and is the recipient of numerous research awards, including the first AAPS Research Achievement Award in Pharmaceutical Technology and the first AAPS Outstanding Educator Award. DeLuca serves on FDA's Advisory Committee for the Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The UK College of Pharmacy is consistently ranked among the top 10 in the nation. It continues to be an international leader in pharmacy education, clinical care and pharmaceutical research. For more than a century, the college has attracted the best and brightest students from the Commonwealth, the U.S. and the world to train as pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists and leaders in academia, health care and pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In an ever-changing health care setting, the college has evolved into an innovative leader in clinical training and clinical research. It also has set the standard for pharmaceutical research in drug design and drug delivery. Pharmaceutical research focuses on drug design and drug delivery, with expertise in oral, transdermal and parenteral formulation development; nano-particle formulations for cancer therapy and diagnosis; and novel therapeutic vaccines.

Are you struggling to make ends meet in austerity Britain?
Have cuts in benefits affected you or your children? Are you stuck in a cramped flat while waiting on a council housing list for a larger home? Or working all hours in a low-paid job to try to support your family?
Or are you a young person who has just left school or further education, and who can't see any hope of getting a decent job?
If so, we'd like to hear from you.
Our Stamp Out Poverty campaign aims to work with local charities and organisations to look for ways to make life a little better for those hardest hit by the recession.
But first, we want to shine a light on the struggles faced by ordinary people in York and North Yorkshire just to make ends meet.
That means talking to real people – people like you – about just how difficult your lives have become in an era of unemployment, benefit cuts, and cuts to vital services.
We know that some poverty will always be with us.
We know that we are not going to be able to eradicate it with one campaign in your local newspaper.
But we don't think it is right that, a hundred years after Seebohm Rowntree, a child born in the poorest areas of York can expect to live 11 years less than one born in a richer area.
And we don't think it is right that multinational corporations should get away with paying little or no tax, while support for the most vulnerable people in our society is cut to the bone.
The Archbishop of York says that a more equal society is a happier society – and that you can judge how healthy a society is by how its treats the most vulnerable people.
We agree.
So please, if you are finding life a struggle, tell us about it.
Your stories will help us make the case for change.

Note: This first appeared on RaysDigest http://rays.scout.com on http://Scout.com.
The Tampa Bay Rays are not far away from relevance, and currently field one of the best young trios of starting pitchers in all of Major League Baseball, with Scott Kazmir, James Shields and Matt Garza. Arguably the most important ingredient to the organization's future success, however, is David Price, who the Rays selected with the first overall pick of the 2007 draft.
Recently, I emailed Price several questions, and he was kind enough to answer them.
David, thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us.
TH: So, you are coming off a pretty wild year, where you led Vanderbilt to one its best seasons in history while shattering most school records and taking home nearly every prestigious collegiate award possible. Being selected first overall in the draft by the Tampa Bay Rays, along with that huge signing bonus was probably not too shabby, either. Basically, it is fairly safe to say, you actually lived through the junior year of college that every serious high school baseball player dreams of having. What was your personal highlight of 2007, though?
Price: My personal highlight of 2007 was winning the SEC tournament after losing the first game to Tennessee. That had not been done before. It had also been a while that the number one seeded team coming into the tournament had won.
TH: Sticking with the Rays, who appear to finally be steering the ship in the right direction, are you excited by the fact that you have the possibility to sit aside Scott Kazmir, James Shields and Matt Garza at the top of the Rays' rotation in the next few years?
Price: Yes, I am very excited. Those are three young pitchers who have already accomplishments in the big leagues and have very bright futures.
TH: Have you established relationships with any of the Rays' proven veterans, yet, including Kazmir or Shields?
Price: Yes, I have started to create some relationships with players. Kaz has been very helpful and informative with me, as have Troy Percival and Cliff Floyd
TH: What has the organization told you about its development plans for you this season?
Price: Keep doing what I am doing.
TH: Although you have yet to pitch in a professional game, word has it—as you were labeled big-league ready by many scouts when you were mowing down batters in the SEC— that you will up with the Rays come September? Do you think this is a realistic possibility, judging by your discussions with the Tampa Bay management?
Price: I haven't had those talks with our management, yet, but I would like to believe I have a chance to get to the big leagues at some point this year.
TH: Is reaching the majors in your first season one of your personal goals for 2008? What are some of the other goals you have set?
Price: Yes, that and staying healthy.
TH: What have you been doing to ready yourself for spring training?
Price: I had been working out and throwing with Matt Buschman (San Diego Padres prospect and former teammate at Vandy).
TH: After signing that huge bonus, was there any let down in heading back to Vandy for the fall semester of your senior year?
Price: Not at all.
TH: Why did you decide to choose Vanderbilt as your college of choice, anyway? Was there a hometown discount there, since you had the opportunity to stay in Tennessee?
Price:: I wanted a chance for all the people that had watched me play and supported me while I was younger to continue to have the chance to keep watching me play baseball in person.
TH: Jeremy Sowers —an alumnus of my high school, now in the Cleveland Indians organization—set the bar pretty high as perhaps the best left-handed pitcher in Commodores history. Would you say that you have surpassed him? Although he was gone by the time you stepped foot on campus, did his draft status (6th overall selection in 2004) influence your decision to sign with Vanderbilt at all?
Price: Not sure if I have surpassed him because he is an outstanding pitcher, but I wouldn't say that his draft status had a hand in my decision. It was more of the success the team was having and the coaches.
TH: Sticking with Sowers here, which left-handed Vanderbilt alum do you think will reach the bigs quicker in '08? He obviously made his major league debut already, but struggled last summer. Buster Olney, the baseball writer for ESPN.com, is arguably the most famous Vanderbilt alumnus involved with Major League Baseball. How long will it take you to change that?
Price: Hopefully not long at all. I had no idea he went to Vanderbilt.
TH: The Rays have the first selection in next year's draft again. Your good buddy and college teammate, Pedro Alvarez, was recently selected by Baseball America as a 2008 Collegiate Pre-Season All American. By all accounts, Alvarez, one of the most feared collegiate hitters in the nation, is an easy first-round pick, too. What are your thoughts on the possibility that the Rays use their first pick on a Vandy alum, yet again?
Price: Can't go wrong with a Vandy guy.
TH: This offseason, the Rays exorcised the Devil, designing new uniforms. What is your take on the new unis', better or worse than the originals?
Price: I like the new unis. They are very simple, but I like them.
TH: Pretend you are a scout for a second, and list your repertoire, strengths and weaknesses as a pitcher. Basically, give a scouting report on yourself.
Price:: Can't do that then others would see!!!! Hitters read this stuff, too!! Ha-Ha.
TH: How much of an impact did Tim Corbin have on your development as a pitcher?
Price: 100%
TH: Judging by your number of Facebook friends, it seems as if you are increasing your celebrity status by the day? What is the weirdest autograph request you have received so far?
Price: Ha-Ha, probably signing foreheads. I signed a golf ball today 2/18/08.
TH: Thanks for taking the time answer these questions, David. Good luck to you in 2008 and beyond.

Women in War
War is increasingly recognized as a gendered phenomenon. In today's global context the need to study the impact of war on women as separate from men is very pertinent. This is because the changing nature of warfare has created many new roles and therefore new experiences for women in war. This course primarily focuses on the experiences of women, as combatants, victims and peacebuilders, in situations of violent conflict. Through an inter-disciplinary approach, students will learn to analyse the intersections between women as an identity group, culture, security, nationality and peace in periods before, during and after war. The use of case-studies in this course will provide a context specific analysis of the various dynamics of gendered warfare. Further, the political, social, cultural and legal measures initiated to mitigate the negative impacts of war on women and to promote a more prominent role for women as decision-makers will be examined.

We all know it can be difficult to hop on your bike when the weather takes a turn. Rain, snow and icy roads can sometimes deter even the most hardcore riders amongst us. That's why it's good to have a few friends to hold you to it… enter the Winter B-icicle Challenge…
As winter settles in across all Northern Hemisphere nations, and the cold wind blows, it's tempting to put your bike away for hibernation. But as of December 1, we're asking you to keep on pedalling through all three winter months.
Why are we doing it?
- To see if we can put our money where our mouth is in regards to living a greener life, and not just when weather permits
- A good time to reflect about those people without homes during winter
- We love riding our bikes and don't want to go three months without it
- We hate traffic jams!
Rules. We will ride to work or school everyday unless:
- The road is so icy we'll most probably break our necks (read here for alternatives)
- We have a meeting or activity that is more than an hour bike ride away
- We're so sick with the flu we can't even be bothered to watch The Wire
What we want from you.
Join us! If you're heading into the depths of winter.

Russian lawmakers are to vote on the anti-gay legislation supported by the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church.
The law would make it illegal nationwide to provide minors with information that is considered a "propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism."
"This propaganda goes through the mass media and public events that propagate homosexuality as normal behavior," reads the anti-gay bill, which attempts to promote traditional Russian values as opposed to Western liberalism.
The bill has been described by some as part of Kremlin's crackdown on minorities, including political, religious and sexual.

Australian teen Minjee Lee is in contention for her second title in as many weeks after another red-hot round in the women's Australian Open.
The 17-year-old amateur last week finished runner-up at the Australian Ladies Masters on the Gold Coast and now has the national crown within reach.
The West Australian showed talent and composure beyond her years to post a third round 68 which included a 10m bomb on the 16th among her five birdies at Victoria Golf Club.
She is joint leader with Korean Chella Choi at 13 under.
No amateur has ever won the Australian Open and only five have ever won LPGA titles.
Lee, who in 2012 became the first Australian ever to win the US Girls Junior title, said she didn't feel any pressure leading the field into the final round.
"I'm pretty cruisey on the golf course; I don't really show much emotion, I just smile all the time which lightens things up," she said.
At Royal Pines Lee was third heading into the final day but couldn't catch American Cheyenne Woods.
Lee has plenty of competition for the Open title including Choi, who set a women's course record on the sandbelt course with a dazzling 10-under 62 in her third round.
New Zealand's 16-year-old world No.4 Lydia Ko and world No.2 Norwegian Suzann Pettersen are both within striking distance at 11- and 10-under respectively.
Ko thrilled the gallery late in her round of 69 with a gob-smacking eagle at the par-five 17th.
Swede Caroline Hedwall, who led heading into the third day, had four bogeys in five holes for a two-over round to slip down the leaderboard to nine under.
There are 15 golfers within five shots which will make for an exciting final day.
Choi's 62 was the lowest score of her professional career and came just a day after Sweden's Anna Norqvist eclipsed the previous mark on the par 72 course with a 64.
Playing in ideal conditions, the world No. 28 had two eagles and seven birdies in her haul; one of the eagles coming on her final hole.
"It's the first time I've ever had two eagles in a round," said the 23-year-old.
"I don't know why I have 10-under today, it was just amazing."
It was an even more stunning effort after Choi carded 70 and 71 in her opening two rounds.

5ft2, 110lbs, wanting an hourglass figure: Am I a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Thnaks for your photo and question, most of slim patients are candidates for a brazilian but lift to improve their body, in your case if you have enough fat to transfer to your butt you will get your wish results, i recommend you to consult a plastic surgeon in person to determine if a butt implant is a better option. Best wishes!
BBL in skinny patient
You are certainly skinny, but this should not prevent you from getting a BBL with noticeable improvement...as long as you select a the right surgeon. Those of us who specialize in BBL surgery, and do 6-8 per week, have become very good at extracting good amount of fat even in skinny people like you. You need an in person consultation to know for sure how much fat you can donate to your buttocks.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift?
At 5'2" 110 lbs and with the photo provided, you probably do not have enough fat. However, if you have fatty deposits on your back and posterior thighs this may give you enough. Having said this, this would be a conservative augmentation of the buttock. I typically liposuction 5 liters and transfer 1500 cc per buttock. However, you may only have enough fat for 500 cc per buttock. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
