text:
Child sexual abuse is any behaviour imposed on a young person or child, usually by a male (93%), taking advantage of his position of power and trust within the family. Less than 11% are abused by strangers (Australian Crime: Facts and Figures, 2011).
Sexually abusive behaviours are associated with children and adolescents. This behaviour is varied and may include acts that make the child or young person feel scared or uncomfortable. This behaviour can range from exhibitionism to penetration.
Whether the abuse occurs once or many times, the traumatic effect is maintained due to fear instilled by threats, fear of further abuse, or promises of rewards for 'keeping the secret.'
Secrecy and community denial of child sexual abuse gives permission for the abuse to continue. Similarly, the community's reluctance to interfere in 'private' family matters, and the desire to maintain the illusion of family as a 'safe' unit, hides and condones the widespread incidence of incest.
Laurel House has broadened the definition of child sexual abuse because:
- The restriction of incest to mean sexual intercourse between two related persons only accounts for a small proportion of the total range of sexually abusive behaviours.
- Sexual abuse of children often involves other people who have the same kind of trust and power for example, parents, step-parents, uncles, family friends, grandparents, teachers, church members, neighbours, and siblings.
Child sexual abuse is characterised by the betrayal of trust and abuse of power implicit in relations with children.
What is child sexual abuse?
There are several alternative 'labels' or definitions for child sexual abuse.
- Incest is a term that is often used. It can be defined as 'sexual intercourse between closely related persons where marriage is legally forbidden." It is a criminal offence. However, this doesn't define the problem for several reasons.
– Adults, other than relatives, sexually abuse children. They are often adults with the same kind of trusting relationship that is found within the family.
– Children can be sexually abused in ways other than sexual intercourse.
- Sexual assault is a fairly good term to use, but it implies physical force; more often, a child is kept compliant through lies and threats.
- Child rape is a term that again implies force. It also implies some kind of sexual penetration either oral, anal, or vaginal; this does not always occur.
- Child molestation is a term that has connotations of 'the stranger in the playground.' In an overwhelming number of cases the child knows the offender very well.
It is important to use a term for the problem that defines it clearly and avoids confusion in the mind of the hearer. For this reason Laurel House has chosen to use the words child sexual abuse with this underlying definition:
Child sexual abuse is a sexual act imposed on a child who lacks emotional, maturational, and cognitive development. The ability to lure a child into a sexual relationship is based upon the all-powerful and dominant position of the adult or older adolescent offender, which is in sharp contrast to the child's age, dependency and subordinate position. Authority and power enable the offender, implicitly or directly, to coerce the child into sexual compliance. (Susan Sgroi)
Child abuse is:
Child sexual abuse is a sexual act imposed on a child who lacks emotional, maturational, and cognitive development. The ability to lure a child into a sexual relationship is based upon the all-powerful and dominant position of the adult or older adolescent offender, which is in sharp contrast to the child's age, dependency and subordinate position. Authority and power enable the offender, implicitly or directly, to coerce the child into sexual compliance. (Susan Sgroi, 1989)
"The different state and territory governments use their own legal definitions, but child sexual assault is commonly considered to be any sexual activity between a child and an adult, or older person. This can include fondling genitals, masturbation, oral sex, vaginal or anal penetration by a penis, finger or any other object, fondling of breasts, voyeurism, exhibitionism and exposing or involving the child in pornography.
Many definitions of child sexual assault specify the age difference between the perpetrator and the child or young adult, as it is considered that young people are not able to make a free and informed decision (that is, consent) to engage in such sexual activities because of their lack of relative knowledge and power. However, concerns have been raised that definitions that specify age difference between the perpetrator and child or young person fail to take into account non-consensual sexual activity between peers (such as sibling sexual assault, and sexual assault and date-rape perpetrated by adolescents)." (ACSSA Wrap, Adult Victim/Survivors of Child Sexual Assault, . Fergus & M. Keel, 2005)
Usually the form of sexual contact progresses over time.
Who are the victims?
– By the age of eighteen, approximately 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will have experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact.
– This can happen at any age – from birth to late teens.
– At the commencement of sexual abuse the average age of the victim is 7 or 8 years. Currently more than half are under ten years of age at the time of reporting. (Australian Crime: Facts and Figures, 2011).
– Can be one child in a family, or many.
Who are the offenders?
– 93% are male
– 85% are familiar to the child; only 11% are strangers, in 4% of cases the relationship of the victim to the offender is not specified at the time of reporting. (Australian Crime: Facts and Figures, 2011)
– Most offenders are relatives or close friends of the child and/or family, someone whom the child trusts. The most common relationship of the offender to the victim is the father (biological or social); "Fathers, step-fathers and other male relatives (including siblings) made up more than half (51.6%) of perpetrators for females, and approximately one-fifth (21.4%) of perpetrators against males" (ACSSA, "The Nature and Extent of Sexual Assault and Abuse in Australia, C. Tarczon & A. Quadara, 2012)
– Offenders come from the full range of socio-economic, racial, cultural and religious backgrounds.
– There is no distinctive psychological profile of an offender. Most offenders are 'average' men.
– Many sexually assault more than one child.
– Commonly they are heterosexual men (even if the victim is a boy)
When and Where are Children Sexually Assaulted?
– It is rarely a one-off occurrence. Usually the sexual abuse continues over a period of years, sometimes in an established time and place pattern.
– It can happen at any time that the child is accessible to the offender.
– Children are often sexually assaulted in their own home or in a place familiar to the child.
Children's reactions to an experience of sexual abuse
Children react to frightening events in many different ways so there are no 'typical' responses. Their developmental stage and level of experience and understanding will have a direct bearing on the way in which they are able to cope with the abuse. Children's difficulty in talking about their feelings can lead to withdrawal and to what is termed 'good' or 'bad' behaviour. They may also misread adult attempts to appear emotionally in control in that they may sense the emotional undercurrent, internalise it, and believe that they are somehow responsible. Additionally, children may receive the unspoken message that emotional expression is unacceptable.
Despite there being no 'typical' responses, there are some reactions that are likely to occur. For instance, young children may become increasingly fearful or timid, they may regress to an earlier developmental stage, resume bedwetting, wanting a bottle or dummy, they may cling to a trusted parent or to a toy even though they may have previously outgrown these behaviours. Nightmares, disturbed sleep patterns, health difficulties, and 'mysterious' aches and pains are also common.
As with adults, children's reactions will diminish over time with the appropriate support. Children can best be helped by exploration of, and practical assistance regarding their safety needs. Children need to be reassured of their physical and emotional safety and have the opportunity to talk about their experience and their feelings. It is useful to encourage questions and when they arise, to answer those questions honestly, openly and fully.
CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE ACCOMMODATION SYNDROME (Summit)
Child victims of sexual abuse face secondary trauma during discovery or the disclosure of their abuse. The child's normal coping behaviour contradicts adult expectations, which causes the child to be stigmatised as being a liar, manipulative or imaginative. This response can come from parents, teachers, police, the courts, the medical profession and/or therapists. This reinforces the child's sense of self-blame, and self-hatred.
Children respond to sexual assault in ways that do not live up to adult ideas about 'normal' victim behaviour. Rather than being calculated or practiced, the child is most often fearful, tentative and confused about the nature of the experience and the eventual outcome of disclosure. For instance, when an emotionally distraught child accuses a usually respected adult of sexual violence, many adults who hear the disclosure will fault the child.
The potential impact of this can be understood according to the following:
- Secrecy
- Helplessness
- Entrapment and accommodation
- Delayed, unconvincing disclosure
- Retraction
The consistent impression gained by a child is one of danger and a fearful outcome based on secrecy surrounding the sexual abuse. They may be told:
– "This is our secret, nobody else will understand"
– "Don't tell anybody"
– "Nobody will believe you"
– "Don't tell your mother because she will hate me/she will hate you/she will kill you/she will kill me/it will kill her/you will be sent away/I will be sent away/you will break up the family"
– "If you tell, I won't love you/I'll hurt you/I'll kill your dog/I'll kill you"
The secret is therefore both the promise of safety and the source of the fear. This is reinforced by the fact that most attempts by the child to tell are countered by adult silence and/or disbelief. Consequently children rarely ask and rarely tell. This is contrary to social expectations that 'real' victims seek help. Even when children complain at a later stage, there is little understanding of the reasons for the delay in disclosing.
Adults expect children to not only tell immediately, but also to fight back. This expectation ignores the basic powerlessness of children in relation to adults. Children may be given permission to avoid the attention of strangers, but are required to be obedient and affectionate to any adult entrusted with their care.
The reverse side of the expectation that children should fight back is the assumption that uncomplaining children are acting in a consenting relationship. As with adult rape victims, the child is expected to forcefully resist, to scream for help and to attempt to escape. This is an unrealistic expectation. Many children's reaction is to 'play possum' pretend to be asleep, or pull up the covers. Children are simply unable to use force to deal with overwhelming threat and they generally learn to cope silently with the terror.
It is crucial to recognise that, no matter what the circumstances, the child had no choice but to submit quietly and to keep the secret.
Entrapment and accommodation
As children are not responsible and are powerless in an abuse situation, they learn to survive the best way they can. As there is no escape from the situation most children learn to accommodate the reality of continuing sexual abuse. Much of what is later considered to be adolescent or adult behavioural and psychological difficulties can be traced back to the natural reactions of a child to a profoundly unnatural and abusive environment.
A child is unable to comprehend that a trusted adult is so ruthless and uncaring. The only acceptable alternative from the child's point of view is to believe that she provoked the abuse in some way to hope that by being 'good' she can earn love and acceptance. She may also believe that if she is good and keeps the secret she can protect her siblings from sexual abuse, her mother from disintegration and preserve the security of her home. Thus conventional morality is reversed for the child, as keeping the secret is a way to be good, and telling the truth would be bad.
All of the accommodation mechanisms (rage, hysteria, self-mutilation, delinquency, lying, and altered states of consciousness) are part of the survival skills of the child, and will only be given up when the child knows that it is safe to do so.
Delayed, conflicting or unconvincing disclosure
While most sexual abuse is never disclosed, when it is, the disclosure may be triggered by conflict during adolescence. The anger generated by an argument may provide a sufficient burst of energy to enable the child to tell the secret. She will be seeking understanding at a time when she is least likely to get it and most adults will tend to identify with the parents' problems in contending with a 'rebellious teenager'.
They will assume she has invented the story to get back at her parents. If she has coped by being unusually compliant and eager to please, then she will be faced with disbelief, as it seems impossible that such a thing could have happened to such an apparently well-adjusted child. So no matter how the child has learnt to cope, people will presume that sexual abuse did not occur and will use the 'evidence' of whatever behaviour they have observed, to support their belief. The child is likely to be left with the secret and a sense that no one will ever believe.
When everyone's distress levels rise and uncomfortable things begin to happen, the child usually believes that it is her disclosure that is the cause. Additionally, there may be pressure on the child to change or retract her story, other family members may be angry, upset or in denial, and the offender may increase the level of threats/coercion in an attempt to ensure his safety. As a result the child may 'admit' that everything she has said is a lie. Although angry, adults will be relieved, and will accept this lie more readily than anything she has said about the sexual abuse and the offender.
Myths and Facts of Child Sexual Abuse
Myth: Child sexual abuse/incest/child rape only happens in poor families.
Fact: Child sexual abuse/incest/child rape occurs in all racial, cultural and socio-economic groups.
Myth: Child sexual abuse hardly ever happens.
Fact: Approximately 33% of Australian female children will be sexually assaulted before they reach 15 years of age.
Myth: Child sexual abuse is unacceptable in our society.
Fact: Child sexual abuse is prevalent, talking about it is forbidden. Secrecy makes it easier for men to abuse children.
Myth: In the rare instances where it did happen, a child would only have to tell someone for it to be stopped.
Fact: The secrecy that surrounds child sexual abuse ensures that:
– there is enormous pressure on children not to tell
– they may have to tell several people before they are believed
– they may never be believed
– they may be persuaded to change their 'story'
Myth: Child sexual abuse – 'incest' – is an expression of unique love and does not harm the child.
Fact: Child sexual abuse is an expression of power that damages the very basis of a child's sense of self. It inflicts psychological, emotional and social damage that affects the child's ability to relate to self and others.
Myth: It is only abuse when violent physical attack occurs.
Fact: Adult power and authority are such that physical force is unnecessary. Children can be coerced, bribed or threatened to make them comply. Offenders avoid doing anything that will lead to discovery.
Myth: Child sexual abuse only happens in dysfunctional families.
Fact: Offenders are 'normal' men who are involved in 'normal' relationships and have 'normal' vocational/professional and social roles.
Myth: Sexual abuse (if it happens) will only occur on a single, isolated event.
Fact: Most abuse continues over a long period of time – usually for years.
Myth: Most children are sexually abused by strangers.
Fact: Less than 11% of children are sexually abused by strangers. 40% are abused by their fathers, uncles, grandfathers, brothers, or other relatives. The remaining 45% are abused by men known to them such as friends, neighbours, etc. 4% of reported cases are not able or choose not to specify their relationship to the offender (Australian Crime: Facts and Figures, 2011).
Myth: Girls fantasise/make up stories/lie about being sexually abused.
Fact: Sexual abuse is a feminine reality. Claiming otherwise provides social and personal protection for the abusers.
Myth: Only adolescent girls are sexually abused.
Fact: 10 to 14-year-olds had the highest rate of sexual assault victimisation regardless of sex. Males were victimised at a rate of 112 per 100,000 males, while for females, the rate was 534 per 100,000 females (these are just the cases that are reported to police, we know that many more cases go unreported). (Australian Crime: Facts and Figures, 2011)
Myth: The girl seduces her father because girls all wish to seduce their fathers.
Fact: The adult offender approaches the girl in a variety of ways, such as going into her bedroom while she is asleep, waiting or organising for her to be alone, threatening to kill her or significant family members. Assaults are planned well in advance and will include limiting or removing escape and support systems.
Myth: Mothers should have protected their children from the offender.
Fact: Both parents have a responsibility to protect their children, and it is unrealistic to expect mothers to perpetually guard their children for 24-hours of every day, especially from those in their own family or others whom they know and trust.
Myth: Men are forced to turn to their daughters for sex because their wife/partner is either denying them sex or is unable to provide a satisfying sexual relationship.
Fact: Men who sexually abuse their daughters are usually also engaged in a sexual relationship with one or more partners. This myth serves to shift responsibility from the offender to the mother by implying that sexual abuse is a matter of sex rather than an abuse of power and act of violence. This also supports the notion that women are responsible for men's sexual gratification, that men have an unquestionable right to sex.
Myth: All mothers collude with the offender, or know, either consciously or unconsciously, that abuse occurs.
Fact: This myth is supported by the belief that mothers should have known. However, as offenders are extremely careful that no-one should know, and will go to great lengths to ensure that no-one does know, it is unrealistic to expect otherwise. This is complicated by the fact that many mothers, when they learn of the abuse, are able to look back and recognise instances where abuse could have occurred. It is important to note that they do this with the benefit of hindsight – at the time they did not, and could not know what was happening. If they had known they would have acted then. Again, it is a way of diverting responsibility from the offender to the mother.
Myth: Abusers are 'sick', 'deviant', 'mad'
Fact: The realities of sexual abuse involve highly emotive issues – issues that most of us would like to avoid because they are extremely painful. Labelling offenders as being different to the norm intellectualises these issues, externalises the causes, denies responsibility, implies infrequent occurrence, and effectively negates the experience of those women and children who have been abused.
Some established characteristics of child sexual abuse
- 1. It is common
Its widespread incidence is becoming increasingly well researched and documented.
- 2. Very few offenders are mentally abnormal
Clearly the offenders see it is wrong because they hide it. While there are few instances where they openly justify their behaviour by saying that they are introducing the child to sexuality, in the vast majority of cases the offender threatens, coerces or confuses the child into keeping silent about the abuse.
- 3. Offenders are generally not strangers to the child
Studies have found that 90% of child sexual abuse cases involve family members. Similarly over 80% of offences occur in the child's home, the offender's home, or their mutual home.
- 4. Child sexual abuse is seldom a solitary, once only act
The nature of sexual abuse tends to change over time, e.g. touching may lead to penetration. As this occurs, the abuser increasingly uses force, or threats of force to keep the child silent. The abuse, in many cases, continues over days, weeks, months, or even years.
- 5. Child sexual abuse rarely involves a violent physical attack on the child
It always involves coercion or threats of some sort, e.g. offenders may say they will not molest a girl's younger sister if she will allow the abuse of her to continue, thus leaving the child feeling that she must protect her sister, and allowing the abuse to continue.
- 6. Child sexual abuse occurs in all socio-economic groups
Judges, police inspectors, university lecturers and doctors offend as much and as often as bricklayers, truck drivers, process workers and bikies. The Adelaide survey found that tertiary educated offenders were slightly over represented in their study.
- 7. It is untrue that child sexual abuse occurs because men have an uncontrollable sexual urge
The male sexual urge is no greater or less controllable than that of the female. There is a great resistance to holding adult males responsible for their own sexual behaviours both within the community and among professional helpers.
- 8. It is untrue that children often lie about child sexual abuse
It is very rare for a child to lie about being abused. The myth of the lying child reflects adult fear at believing that such a thing could happen and the belief that children cannot be trusted.
Possible long-term effects
– Fear, mistrust or hatred of men
– Anger
– Bitterness, depression, anxiety
– Loss of confidence/self-esteem
– Lowered self-image and sense of personal worth
– Sexual problems/gynaecological difficulties
– Phobias/psychiatric disorders
– Asthma
– Relationship/marriage difficulties or break-ups
– Compulsive eating/bulimia/anorexia
– Nightmares/insomnia
– Suicidal tendencies/self-mutilation
– Alcohol/drug misuse
– Difficulties parenting/relating to children
– Diminished personal growth
Victims of childhood sexual abuse often experience self-hatred and worthlessness. They often have very little confidence and little belief in self. They may want to be noticed but are afraid of being noticed. They are usually afraid of strangers and men. Victims often feel helpless and unable to make decisions or change situations.
Effects on sexuality
– Feeling cut off, not wanting to be touched
– Know that sexuality is a natural part of adult 'loving' but are unable to believe it
– Sexual 'hang-ups' related to the assault, difficulty in coping with certain advances or touches
– Doing things for others – trade-offs
Effects of relationship with mother
– Desire to protect, to not add to her worries
– Feelings of guilt because she may have been hurt, powerless to prevent the abuse
– Anger because she did not listen/believe/want to know/or she protected the abuser
– Keep distant but want to be close
Characteristics of effective protectors
– A protecting adult believes the child has been sexually abused
– A protecting adult understands who is responsible for the abuse
– A protecting adult can talk to the child about abuse when the child is ready
– A protecting adult can make opportunities to talk about the abuse, indicating that they can manage the discussion
– A protecting adult can empathise with the child which may include the child's positive feelings towards the offender or feelings of loss when the abuse is stopped
– A protecting adult can receive and give feedback to the child about what is right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate
– A protecting adult takes responsibility for their behaviour in relation to children
Every Child has the right to be protected; every adult has the responsibility to ensure children are safe.

So, I did ask this before, and hot great responses, but I thought of a few more obstacles and thought I'd give one more try, :) :) writing a story about this guy who cheated on his fiancé but has changed and wants her back. She's just days away from marring her new fiancé, when her best friend, a Witch, finds out about the ex and puts a spell on him to try and stop him from approaching her friend at a outdoor pre wedding celebration. He shrinks really small and I thought of these obstacles for him to endure. Think of your ex in these situations, which of these would u like to see of the tiny ex, and add anything. Which would be funniest?
-or, he falls in a gigantic glass of water, when a huge Alka seltzer falls in with him and he is swallowed down by his grandmother.
-he gets to his ex and gets on her shoulder, when he's noticed by her fiance, who thinks he's a bug and flicks him off causing him to land in a sticky spiderweb, and he's approached by the scariest sight ever.

Towards a System of Open Cities in China: Home Prices, FDI Flows and Air Quality in 35 Major Cities
- Authors
- Source
- Legacy
Over the last thirty years, China's major cities have experienced significant income and population growth. Much of this growth has been fueled by urban production spurred by world demand. Using a unique cross-city panel data set, we test several hypotheses concerning the relationship between home prices, wages, foreign direct investment and ambient air pollution across major Chinese cities. Home prices are lower in cities with higher ambient pollution levels. Cities featuring higher per-capita FDI flows have lower pollution levels.

The new red highlight lines give you an additional aid to make sure you're lined up exactly to your target.
Tank Counterbalance for More Consistency
More stability at impact. When golfers tried these new putters, 60% of them had a more consistent path, which is an absolutely staggering number. The counterbalance weighting, heavier heads and heavier shafts quiet the hands and engage the big muscles to promote a more consistent stroke.
Tour Proven Shapes
These are some of our most prolific models that have dominated Tour events and major championships for years. As the #1 putter across the major tours, we're constantly working with the best players in the world to develop and tweak shapes for ultimate performance.
Our Promise For Odyssey Putters
An Odyssey Putter is a promise made. Sure, we design each of our putters to help you slay more demons and sink more putts. But we also design them to withstand any kind of punishment you can dish out and we back them up with an Odyssey assurance of quality. We rarely see a putter returned, but if you find a defect within a two-year period, we'll repair it or replace it. No questions asked. And that's a promise kept.

Loovens loses appeal
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Cardiff City defender Glenn Loovens has had his red card appeal turned down.
Cardiff City defender Glenn Loovens has had his appeal against his red card turned down.
The 22-year-old will miss Tuesday's trip to Plymouth Argyle as a result, having been sent off for a professional foul on David Nugent in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Preston North End.
The Dutchman appealed to the Football Association of Wales in order to have the red card rescinded, but those efforts proved all in vain.
Meanwhile, teenage striker Andreas Ferretti has returned to parent club Cardiff after a month-long loan spell with Scunthorpe United.

Love it
I love this weight vest for walking. Unlike other vests I examined, this one doesn't look so much like a bulletproof vest. It looks stylish as it doesn't cover the front. It is very comfortable and the fabric is high quality.Read More
Nice fitness accessory
This is an excellent accessory for weight training--especially for squats. Lifting a heavy barbell over the head can be dangerous. With this vest, I can lower my barbell weight but still get effective results for leg workouts. Very happy with this product so far.Read More
kick it up a notch
i had a 10lb weight vest that got used by my sons for running. i stopped using it because um YUCK (sweat). it looked like a bullet proof vest and it was starting to fray a bit. when i saw this vest it had so much less body coverage yet it was 2lbs heavier. i loved the way it fit and the material. it's very flexible and it feels like neoprene. the extra 2lbs really makes a difference too! i've only used it for walking so far, so i don't know how comfortable running in it would be. the strap across the chest might be irritating because it's necessary to have it tight to keep from slipping. i plan on using it for stairs and squats also so it shouldn't be a problem for me.Read More

Apple-Date Betty
As American as apple betty. Yes, this dessert dates to Colonial times. The warm spiced apples topped with sweet breadcrumbs make it a great stand-in for pie.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
Source: Everyday Food, November 2012
- 5 slices country white sandwich bread, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 6 tablespoons apple cider, divided
- 5 Granny Smith apples (2 1/2 pounds total), peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup chopped dates, preferably Medjool (4 ounces)
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- Heavy cream, for serving
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Scatter bread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until dry and light golden brown, about 12 minutes, tossing halfway through. Crush half the bread to make crumbs. In a large bowl, combine butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons cider, then stir in bread pieces and crumbs.
Combine apples, dates, flour, lemon juice, salt, allspice, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons cider. Stir in 1/2 cup bread mixture. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish and top with remaining bread mixture. Cover with foil and bake until bubbling in center, 40 to 55 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is golden, 5 minutes more. Let cool 15 minutes (or let sit at room temperature, up to 8 hours). To serve, divide among bowls and top with cream.

kitchengrrl4 NOV, 2012This was very tasty and easy, homey and comfort food. I think the dates pretty much disappear as both a flavor and a texture. We all agreed we'd prefer to add a similar amount of Craisins instead for a little flavor kick.Reply
CiaNahac1 NOV, 2012My bread crumbs did not come close to being dry after the 12 minutes, so they were very soggy on top of the apple mixture from the start. End result tasted like a soggy, sugary pieces of whites bread on top of apples that weren't cooked enough. 7 hours after serving, it found a home in the garbage disposal. Ugh. :-(Reply

10 things men need to know when buying jewellery, by David Benn of David Benn Fine Jewellery
Buying a gift for your special someone can often be a challenge particularly when you are trying to buy something more than the standard box of chocolates. It can be time consuming, expensive and stressful, and you could still miss the mark. Here are some quick tips from David Benn Fine Jewellery to help you get the perfect gift;
- A ring symbolises unity and commitment, and is typically seen as a token of engagement and marriage. If you're already married, giving the gift of a ring further expresses the strength of that love and pledge you've made to your special someone. Take care though if you're buying a ring as a gift for your girlfriend as it is a very loaded piece of jewellery to give.
- A ring might not fit her finger but earrings will always fit perfectly. It is always a good idea to give a gift that your loved one is able to wear immediately.
- A pair of diamond studs in a simple four claw white gold setting will have instant appeal and your special someone will enjoy wearing them for many years. Just bear in mind that diamonds are another piece of very loaded jewellery to give to your girlfriend – unless you're intentionally sending her a message!
- Pearl stud earrings are a perfect gift for your girlfriend without sending the wrong message. Pearl studs are considered elegant and graceful, and they usually come in a decent size without costing the earth. Despite what the ladies may say, size does matter when it comes to jewellery. From experience, a woman will choose a larger piece of jewellery over a smaller piece on most occasions.
- Finding it difficult to choose a coloured stone? In general, blue and green stones look best against fairer complexions and lighter coloured hair, yellow stones will look striking against darker complexions, and red or pink stones are the perfect foil for fair skin tones.
- If you know your loved one's favourite colour, then buy her a piece of jewellery with stones of this colour. You're guaranteed to achieve instant appeal with this!
- Buy your special someone jewellery of a type she already wears. That is, if you notice she wears a lot of drop earrings then buy her a pair of drop earrings, or if she never wears a bracelet then it's best not to give her one; she may never really enjoy wearing it.
- Simplicity is best. The simpler the design the more chance there is that your loved one will wear the jewellery you give her. A simple design has a greater chance of working with her existing wardrobe, and your loved one will be able to show off the jewellery at work too.
- Quality does come at a price. If a piece of jewellery has a very simple and beautiful design and has stones that sparkle, then there is a good chance it will be a quality piece at a more expensive price. Sorry, but this tends to be the case. Over-designed jewellery with small dull stones comes cheaply.
- It's true that the joy comes in the giving, and whilst you'll enjoy seeing your loved one wear the jewellery you have chosen for her, chances are if she's had a hand in choosing the design and stones for her new jewellery, she'll love it even more, and that experience of seeing her really loving her new jewellery will be priceless for you.
If your still in doubt then talk to the professionals, a good fine jeweller can take you through the gift selection process or better yet you can get the experience for her to design it herself.

Skip to comments.Activist worries Obama will pardon Marxist terror leader responsible for fathers murder
Posted on 10/02/2012 5:44:05 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
Whether or not Barack Obama wins re-election in November, Joe Connor is afraid the president may release his fathers killer from prison.
Puerto Rican separatist leader Oscar Lopez Riveras group, the Armed Forces of Puerto Rican National Liberation (FALN), killed Joes dad Frank Connor 37 years ago during a deadly bombing spree that stretched from the 1970s to the early 80s. The terrorist group bombed New York Citys historic Fraunces Tavern on Jan. 25, 1975, killing 33-year-old Frank Connor.
Connor, the co-author of The New Founders: What Would George Washington Think of The United States of America if He Were Alive Today? told The Daily Caller he suspects Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder will try to release Lopez Rivera from prison long before his 70-year sentence is up. He has heard form some FBI agents, he said, that Obama had a relationship with the convicts brother, Chicago-based community organizer José Lopez.
Holder, he added, was the mastermind behind the release of the 16 back in 1999, when President Bill Clinton commuted the sentence of 16 FALN convicts. Both houses of Congress issues stinging resolutions condemning the action. The House vote was 311-41, and the Senate vote was 95-2.
When attorney general nominee Holder faced a 2009 confirmation fight in Congress, the Los Angeles Times reported that he had instructed his staff at Justices Office of the Pardon Attorney to effectively replace the departments original report recommending against any commutations, which had been sent to the White House in 1996, with one that favored clemency for at least half the prisoners.
Ultimately, 14 of the 16 offered clemency accepted the offer. One of the two who didnt was Lopez Rivera. The other was already on his way to parole.
Lopez Riveras sister Zenaida Lopez said at the time that her brother rejected Clintons clemency offer because he thought he would be in prison outside prison.
Under Article 2, Obama has the power to do so.
From report at LINK in Post #1:
"......Tom and Joe Connor, two brothers who were little boys when their 33-year-old father, Frank, was killed in the Fraunces Tavern attack, were dumbstruck to learn that White House staffers referred to the FALN militants as "political prisoners" and were planning a meeting with their children to humanize their plight.
Members of Congress viewed the clemencies as a dangerous abuse of presidential power that could not go unchallenged. Resolutions condemning the president's action were passed with a vote of 95-2 in the Senate, 311-41 in the House. It was the most they could do; the president's pardon power, conferred by the Constitution, is absolute. The House launched an investigation, subpoenaing records from the White House and Justice in an effort to determine whether proper procedure had been followed. President Clinton promptly invoked executive privilege, putting Justice Department lawyers in the impossible position of admitting that they had sent the White House a recommendation on the issue, but barred from disclosing what it was.
Twenty-four hours before a scheduled Senate committee hearing, the DOJ withheld the FBI's written statement about the history of the FALN and an assessment of its current terrorist capability.

Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an extension of the C programming language designed for high performance computing on large-scale parallel machines. The language provides a uniform programming model for both shared and distributed memory hardware. The programmer is presented with a single shared, partitioned address space, where variables may be directly read and written by any processor, but each variable is physically associated with a single processor. UPC uses a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) model of computation in which the amount of parallelism is fixed at program startup time, typically with a single thread of execution per processor. Berkeley UPC provides a portable, high-performance compiler for developing UPC software on systems ranging from clusters to custom supercomputers and even laptop-grade systems.
GASNet (Global-Address Space Networking) is a language-independent low-level networking layer that provides network-independent, high-performance communication primitives tailored for implementing parallel global-address space SPMD languages such as UPC, Titanium, and Co-Array Fortran. The interface is primarily intended as a compilation target and for use by runtime library writers (as opposed to end users), and the primary goals are high performance, interface portability, and expressiveness.

The sign, posted on a stretch of nightclubs and restaurants in midtown Atlanta, is part of the first wave of a statewide campaign that Georgia's largest gay and lesbian group hopes will change attitudes throughout the state.
"For so long, extremists have used gays and lesbians as a means to further their own agendas," said Chuck Bowen, executive director of Georgia Equality. "The purpose of this campaign is to let people know we're no different than anybody else."
The group's "We Are Your Neighbors" campaign is an 18-month effort that comes on the heels of what gay activists call a bruising year in politics.
Six camp counselors charged with murder
CLEVELAND - Six counselors at a state-run wilderness camp for troubled boys have been charged with murder in the death of a 13-year-old boy who was restrained for more than an hour.
A state grand jury handed down the charges of felony murder, child cruelty and involuntary manslaughter Monday. Travis Parker died April 21, a day after he was held face down by counselors at the Appalachian Wilderness Camp in Cleveland. The boy had angrily confronted one of the counselors for withholding food from him as punishment. His family's attorney said a judge had ordered the youth to attend the camp.

There are loads of septic tanks who are gonna tell you to get a tight end or a running back. :) :)

I just thought fantasy football was just like a lottery.
Can you tell I'm not interested in football :D

heres my selection..
See attachment ;)
I have 28 substitutions left..
Sep 27, 2010 at 9:05 UTC
Lampard, Collison, and Obertan all need to be removed.
Those players are the reason you haven't been scoring enough points. Lampard injured, other 2 are not first team players.
Have a look at new players here and you should start to score some points.

Thats great
Thanks for the tips Adam..
means i'll have to rethink the defence as I havent got enough money !
Sep 27, 2010 at 10:36 UTC
I would avoid having defenders from the same team. If that team has a bad loss, it's a lot of points that you can potentially lose out on. Look for cheap defenders in a good team, known for their clean sheets. Alex from Chelsea has been playing a bit lately and is less expensive than his counterparts; and look at teams such as Blackburn or Stoke. Defenders who go up for corners are another option, as they will also get you a few goals a season.
Another tip I use is to avoid "defensive" midfielders, and for the cheap options go for penalty takers, such as Nolan from Newcastle. This helps you with money and also helps you pick up the odd goal!

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament, or ACL, is one of two ligaments that form a cross pattern connecting the tibia (shin bone) to the femur (thigh bone). Athletes often tear this ligament when participating in sports such as gymnastics, basketball, football, figure skating, skiing, soccer, track and field, and even dance and cheerleading. Non-athletes can also injure the ACL in every day life by tripping, stepping off of curbs, and any other activity that twists the knee in an abrupt manner.
Surgical techniques to repair ACL injuries have greatly advanced in the last 25 years, but the reconstructive surgery still requires physical therapy and a recovery period. Learn what you can to speed your recovery and get back into life.
The most important step is to listen to and follow your doctor's and physical therapist's instructions exactly as they are given.
Immediately after surgery, your first concern will be pain management. You may have outpatient surgery and go home the same day. Older patients or those with complications may require a short hospital stay.
Your doctor will prescribe medications for pain management. Take them as needed but only as directed.
Apply ice to the area as directed by your doctor. Ice helps dull the pain and reduces swelling and bruising. The pain and bruising will be less severe if you apply ice frequently in the beginning.
You may be on crutches for a couple of days. Do not attempt to walk without crutches until your doctor advises you do to so. Remember, you may be taking pain medications that can make you dizzy or lightheaded. Your coordination and balance will not be normal. Walking too soon could result in a fall which could cause other injuries.
Physical therapy is the key to your recovery. You will begin physical therapy within hours of your surgery. The goal of physical therapy is to get the knee moving so that the reconstructed ligament does not stiffen and shorten, causing further problems. The joint will become rigid if the knee is not exercised properly. Failure to perform the physical therapy exercises will result in a tight, stiff, uncomfortable feeling, and a slower recovery progress.
Physical therapy is not optional. If your physical therapist gives you a regimen of exercises or stretches to do at home, you absolutely must do them. You must perform these exercises to achieve a normal range of motion in the knee joint, allowing you to return to regular weight bearing activities. These exercises will also strengthen the leg muscles (the quads and hamstrings) to help safely support the knee joint.
Physical therapy is hard work. It hurts. You will sweat and get sore. It gets boring, it is inconvenient, and you will get tired of it. Again, therapy is not optional if you want to recover fully. Do not miss any appointments with your physical therapist. The machines in the physical therapist's office are specifically designed to aid in your recovery. Missing a session will result in delayed progress. Too many missed appointments will result in a weak and unstable knee.
Return to normal activity as directed by your doctor and physical therapist.

Scharner quits Austria
By Andrew Scurr
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Wigan defender Paul Scharner has quit international football.
Wigan defender Paul Scharner has quit international football after a falling out with the Austrian FA.
The 26-year-old was sensationally banned by Austria coach Josef Hickersberger, who claimed the former Brann Bergen stopper wanted to pick and choose which games he would play.
Scharner has now reacted by confirming he will no longer play for his country and has labelled the set-up a shambles.
"I've always been a huge patriot, ready to play for Austria, but recent events have killed my patriotism stone dead," Scharner is quoted in the Sunday Mirror.
"It's the fault of the unprofessional set-up at the national FA. I don't want to name names or wash dirty linen, but there is a complete lack of professionalism.
"I've decided there's no point in me carrying on. I phoned national coach Pepi Hickersberger on Monday to ask him to accept my resignation - and he did.
"My decision is final."

Exploring a software solution that would allow issue tracking for member/guest and employee issues that could be assigned and delegated to staff to handle.
Issues would need to be aggregated and reported on by various action/disposition codes to trend and analyze what's been "going on".
I would like to have security in the system whereas if a person calls and complains about an employee, I don't want my employees to be able to see a potential confidential encounter.
In an ideal world, incorporating something into Outlook would be a home run. We do not use Exchange or Sharepoint, but wouldn't opposed to using either if necessary.
This is a very generic question, and I'm hoping for just a few hits on what others are using successfully in their shops.

I would recommend ZenDesk.
But if a dissatisfied customer sends an email to the Support, there is no way to avoid your personel seeing that. If the complaint is called in, whish they usually are, then you need to implement a process to forward those calls to the responsible manager.

Speaking about issue tracking software solutions I would recommend you Comindware Tracker. I've started using it not so long ago. It has met with my requirements: flexible, functional, fast, interactive, simple, user-friendly and reasonably priced. So, hope it will be as useful for you as for me.

Before you use any tool, just check for the compatibility of the management software, also see the extensibility of it. This will help you for your problem.

One of the most popular and effective series for teaching the basics about Islam. Given at the annual Dar al Islam Teachers' Institute in New Mexico, these lectures are meant to provide a comprehensive overview of the religion and world of Islam for non-Muslims. The classroom style presentation covers five main areas: the Holy Qur'an, basic practices, core beliefs, spirituality and the end of time. The program is based on the well-known hadith (prophetic saying) of Angel Gabriel that teaches Islam, iman (faith) and ihsan (spirituality). Hamza Yusuf, a European-American convert fluent in Arabic and gifted with a vast knowledge of Islam, presents the material in a style that is unique to most of his other lectures since he is speaking to non-Muslim academics. Although he focuses on the basic teachings, his deeper exploration of the subject results in a series which any non-Muslim, new Muslim or life-long Muslim can appreciate and benefit from. These lectures are essential for any person or organization seeking to educate others about the true teachings of Islam. Some of the topics discussed: Islam as the teaching of previous prophets, rationalizing God's rulings, the problem of evil, God's imminence, capital punishment, suicide, losing the spirit of the Law, Dajjal (anti-Christ), and secularization in the Muslim world.
