When Allie met Josh, he told her she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever met. Allie thought he was sweet because he was always giving her compliments on her work, her home and her personality. For the first time in her life she felt appreciated. As an ACoN* growing up with a negligent Narc father who barely noticed her, she thought she'd finally met the man of her dreams.
Fast forward a year and Allie was hurt when Josh suggested she lose some weight and get a new haircut to look younger. Allie was also beginning to notice how rude Josh could act to other people. Sometimes she was shocked to hear him lie to his mother which made her wonder if he lied to her too.
A few months later when Allie discovered he was cheating on her, Josh blamed it on her inability to keep him happy. Allie thought of all things she did to please him. She remembered how Josh had said she was perfect in the beginning and now she tried to figure out where she'd gone wrong.
Allie called up her friends asking them what was wrong with her that Josh would treat her this way. Friend after friend said it was not Allie's fault, but it was Josh who was the obnoxious one. Allie hadn't seen it before and she struggled to comprehend how a man who once had so many nice things to say about her, could turn and trash her now.
Allie had believed these compliments represented Josh's true feelings, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing in their relationship had ever been about Allie. Josh's compliments had merely been a way to win her affection so he could use her for narcissistic feed. Josh borrowed her money, expected her to cook and clean for him and wanted her to support his career, but he didn't care about Allie's needs at all. If she failed in any way to meet his expectations, Josh accused her of being selfish and trashed her accomplishments.
Josh's goal was to manipulate Allie into trying harder to please him, while Allie's goal was to restore what she thought was lost. But the truth was Allie was chasing something she'd never had in the first place. It was a painful lesson to learn, but Josh (like all Narcs) was a fake now and had been a fake all along.
When Josh left Allie, he blamed their break up on her. He called her a lazy nag because she didn't like his cheating and didn't meet his needs. He said if she really wanted it to work it out, she could've tried harder. After he left, Allie got sick and depressed. She missed work and isolated from her real friends because she felt used and thrown away by one person. Allie was just as beautiful and smart as she had been before, but her self-image had been twisted by a Narc.
One day a friend gave her the number of a good therapist and Allie decided to give counseling a try. Through counseling, Allie finally understood why her entire relationship with Josh had been a fraud. Nothing Josh said or did had never been about her–it had always been about Josh and his needs. Her lack of love from a negligent Narc father had allowed her to let a malignant Narc into her head and destroy her self-love.
Allie has learned to never allow a Narc to twist her mind and steal her joy with their petty insults. Josh never really knew her–Narcs don't take time to care for others. She has decided she is worth having relationships with real people who are willing to invest in honest and loving ways.
After a few months Allie grew stronger and she was good to date again, but this time she had the boundaries in her head. Never again will she allow anyone else to approve or disapprove of her. Allie finally internalized the truth that whatever other people say and do is always about them—not her. If she allows herself to be flattered by the compliments of other people, she also sets herself up to be devastated by their insults.
This is an essential truth for all of us—whether it's a parent, spouse or co-worker—whatever people say and do is never about you–it's always about them. And it's all the more relevant when dealing with a Narc.

Bushmills makes debut on new banknote
Amid glitz and the glamour Bushmills Distillery was put on the world stage yesterday - by the Bank of Ireland.
In case anyone was unaware of the world famous Bushmills, the Bank of Ireland's Governor came to Belfast to honour his favourite whiskey.
From yesterday a new Bank of Ireland £5 note bears a picture of the famous distillery with new £10 and £20 notes to follow next month.
Yesterday — in scenes reminiscent of Hollywood — the Bank of Ireland unveiled its series of new notes with a blaze of publicity.
Huge outdoor screens beamed the launch onto the bank's HQ stopping hundreds of shoppers in their tracks.
The Bank of Ireland's governor Richard Burrows said it was a special moment for him as back in 1972 he spent four years as the managing director of Bushmills Distillery.
He said: "I spent some very happy years on the North coast of Antrim and today we are celebrating the 400th anniversary of Bushmills Distillery."
He added: "Ten years on from the Good Friday Agreement we've put the troubled times behind us and we are all seeing the economic regeneration that is taking place."
After a speech from Michael Ioakimides, managing director of Bushmills owners Diageo Ireland, the TV launch began.
From inside the Bank of Ireland's headquarters the Bank's governor and Bushmills' owner celebrated what they said was 'A Notable Moment.'
Mr Ioakimides said the moment marked 400 years of licensed whiskey making in the Bushmills area.
"But we never dreamed our whiskey would feature on the back of a Bank of Ireland bank note — a singular honour and a special recognition of our distillery and its 500 employees," he said.
The £5 note went into circulation yesterday with the new £10 and £20 notes joining as legal tender next month.
The Distillery's master blender Helen Mulholland and master distiller Colum Egan were on hand to reveal that Bushmills was well on target to making one million cases of whiskey a year by 2011. Already more than 40,000 cases of Bushmills are exported round the world.

Before 1996, Americans generally got their news through newspapers, radio, broadcast television or, if they had cable, CNN. Today's dominant cable news outlet is the Fox News Channel, celebrating its 15th anniversary Friday. Defying the naysayers, FNC passed CNN and everyone else about a decade ago and never looked back. News anchor Shepard Smith has been at FNC since the beginning, and Points asked him about his network's 15 years of remarkable success.
Going back 15 years, what were your expectations for Fox News?
Honestly, at the very beginning, I wasn't under the impression that this was going to be a long-term thing for me, and I really didn't get it that it could be a long-term thing for the Fox News Channel. My understanding was that CNN owns this, and we don't have a news organization within our company. We have nothing to build from, and yet they say we're going to overtake these people and that we're going to dominate. I just didn't see how we were going to pull this off. I'm clearly not as smart as Roger Ailes, and I'm very well in touch with this.
So the goal, from the beginning, was to catch and pass CNN?
From Day One. [Ailes, FNC's chairman and CEO] told me that this was going to be a rough ride, but we're going to overtake these people and then it's going to be really difficult because everybody's going to be shooting at us, just like everyone does at every champion. I mean, look at the Dallas Cowboys. When you have success the way the Cowboys had, everyone wants to see you fail. …
That was all too big for me, but it wasn't too big for him. He instilled that in us from the very beginning, and anyone who works for him will tell you that.
Fox News has been the No. 1 cable news channel for nearly 10 years and, for the most part, dominantly so. At what point along the way did such an accomplishment seem realistic?
During the coverage of the Columbine tragedy, strangely enough. One of our internal positions is that we're always going to be outmanned. We can't ever be outthought, and we always have to move faster and work harder. Well, the day that that happened, we didn't wait five minutes to send people to airports and, boom, get there. To hear that children were shooting each other in a school was quite enough.
Who among your colleagues most influenced you?
Roger Ailes. Zero question. There's great clarity within an organization where nothing is run by committee. Every decision is ultimately his, and everyone in the company knows it. Every conversation I've ever had with Roger that's about philosophy and day-to-day is: "Your job is facts and facts only. We're doing opinion everywhere else, but we're a news channel, and you have to get the facts right. You have to report the facts and leave the rest of it to the opinion people."
For him, that separation is one of the most important things in all of the organization. Because you can't have opinionated talk television — which is labeled that way, so I'm cool with it — and then have news that slants. The only time he has a word with me is when we mess up the facts. So we try very hard not to mess up the facts, because I need him to be fatherly to me in a nice way, not an angry way.
Still, the prevailing view from the outside is driven by your opinion journalists. How does that affect you in your work?
It doesn't affect my work, but it does affect the way people view our work. And I'm OK with that. I believe everything has to be labeled what it is, and then the label had better be accurate. If the box in the supermarket says it has 9 grams of fat and instead it has 30, I'm angry. What we're saying is, "This is one thing, and this is another thing." Now, the other thing is louder and grabs a lot more headlines because opinions are just more noticeable. The facts are just the facts.
The opinion people are the ones getting noticed, so do you get labeled a "conservative organization"? Of course. You have conservatives across this nation and across your region. Have you been left out of the national conversation for decades? The answer is yes. We made a decision not to leave the conservative viewpoint out of the conversation, and I think that's part of the reason the nation has reacted so favorably to us. But if we brought that into the newscast, I think they would abandon it.
In your mind, where is the line between a guy reading the news and a news personality?
The main thing that has worked for me over time is that I try not to pretend that I'm not excited about this. I don't artificially make it boring. I find this process of finding out what's happening and gathering it, producing it and disseminating the information to be a real rush. Don't tell my boss, but I would probably do it if you didn't pay me. Sometimes it's just funny, and sometimes it's just gross. I just don't try to hide those things that are universally true.
Some people might see that as line-crossing when I'm like, "This is ridiculous" or "Are you kidding me?" but I feel like that's OK. That's not taking one side or the other. I know you can get in trouble that way — and I have — but what I'm trying to do is just be me. One of the things viewers seek — and I seek — is people who are real. Whatever your real is, I can take it. When you're trying to be something you're not, that's less palatable.
A recent Howard Kurtz analysis indicated Ailes is affirmatively pulling programming back toward the center. Have you noticed that, and, if you did, how would you react?
The programming that I deal with is the news, and he neither pushes nor pulls the news in any direction, except for the facts. … Now, I read that piece, and I found it interesting. Because if there's something like that going on on the other side [opinion], I just don't know about it. I read it in the same way others did and went, "Oh, really. So we're going to make our right-wing people not be right-wing people?" We hired them to be right-wing people.
One of the things I love about Roger is he knows who you are, he's seen your work, he hires you to be you and he lets you be you. It would be out of character for Roger Ailes to hire somebody, pay them a lot of money, they win and then try to change them.
Beyond ratings, how do you judge the quality of your news programs?
I don't pre-read our scripts. I don't write them. They come to me cold. I trust our staff completely. What I do all day is read and read and read and make phone calls and learn about the things I'm going to be discussing that night. So a good night for me is when I learn something from the words that just came out of my mouth, even though I've studied it all day long. Because people who are really into the news are reading maybe as much as I am, and if my writers and producers and researchers and editors … come up with something that, as a huge news consumer, I didn't get all day, we've just succeeded. If I get a moment to laugh and a moment to be saddened and a moment to be surprised during the newscast, I feel like viewers probably did, too. And we've had a great day.
This Q&A was conducted and condensed by Dallas Morning News editorial writer Mike Hashimoto. His email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Shepard Smith can be reached through facebook.com/ShepardSmith or twitter.com/team_shep.

"Top Gear," the popular British television series about driving cars, began a 2,400-mile road trip this week on Route 66 in a Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse — a convertible version of what is considered the fastest sports car in history.
From the first day of the show's Route 66 diary:
You want numbers? 1200bhp of quad-turbo, W16 engine, over 1100 torques, four-wheel drive and a top speed of 260mph. Enough, it's safe to say, to keep up with American traffic. Oh, and an asking price somewhere north of two million quid, which makes dicing with traffic in Chicago's rush hour something of a puckering experience.
No one has ever done anything like this with a Veyron before. And they won't again. With Veyron production ending next year before Bugatti opens a new chapter in its Going Faster history, this is it: the last, the ultimate Veyron road trip.
Which is why it had to be Route 66, the Illinois-to-California highway John Steinbeck christened 'The Mother Road'.
The crew apparently went from Chicago to St. Louis on the first day, although details about that leg are scant, save for a few photos.
During Day Two, the crew took the Bugatti from St. Louis to Oklahoma City.
I don't care how fast the car is — 500 miles on an old road makes for a long day.
In the coming days, "Top Gear" says it will reveal the publication date of the sale of its "Adventures" issue of its magazine that will feature Route 66. In the meantime, it will post new roadtrip photos daily on its website.
UPDATE 7/16/2014: Top Gear magazine, featuring an article about the Route 66 trip, is on sale worldwide today. The promotional story about the issue notes the Bugatti required 840 gallons of fuel. That's less than three miles per gallon. Oy.

Dud Dudek caught red handed
Liverpool 1 Manchester United 2
MUCH MORE OF THIS AND Gérard Houllier's team will be leaving Arsenal and Manchester United to fight over the championship while they face more parochial concerns, such as worrying if they have become the second-best side in Liverpool. Everton visit Anfield later this month and, on present form, there can be no assumption that the favourites will be in red.
Already knocked out of the Champions League, Liverpool need to mount a challenge for the title to maintain their momentum under Houllier, but it is a month since they won in the Barclaycard Premiership. "Count on us, we will be all right," the Frenchman said, but the rut of poor form deepened so alarmingly yesterday that Liverpool are in it up to their necks.

One of my favorite things in life is spicy food. I eat spicy shit on everything. I use ground cayenne constantly. I have a multitude of hot sauces, many of which contain habanero peppers. The hotter the better.Edited By: MUPokerPlayer Dec 12th, 2011 at 06:11 PM
Friday night I got Buffalo Wild Wings to go. I got a buffalo ranch chicken wrap, and I substituted the Medium sauce for Blazin sauce. They put so much freaking sauce on it, the chicken was swimming in sauce. Like they had to use a half bottle on the damn thing. It was as hot as shit, and I could only eat 1/2 of the wrap. Its like the cooks were just being assholes tyring to put as much of the Blazin sauce as possible on it.
A couple hours later my skin starts itching. I figure its just dry skin from the weather so I put some lotion on it and forgot about it. I went to bed a couple hrs later. At about 3am I woke up itching so bad I could hardly stand it. I also started having really bad chest pain/heaviness. I wasn't really short of breath, but it felt like I couldn't get a deep enough breath. I thought it was just in my head and I just sorta was able to tell myself to chill and that it would go away. It finally subsided enough to where I could sleep.
The next morning I woke up itching like shit, and I had a rash on my arms. I took some benadryl and they got better. At this time, I figured I had some weird reaction to something--I didn't know it was to the food.
Last night, we got takeout Italian food. I put my standard cayenne pepper all over the fettuccine and some Spontaneous Combustion habanero sauce on the red pasta. An hour or so later, I start itching again. It wasn't bad as the day before, so I just ignored it. The next morning (today) I woke up itching again and had hives EVERYWHERE. Big red skin wheals all over my chest, stomach, back, etc. I took benadryl and it got better.
The only thing I had to eat in common the two nights was alcohol and spicy shit. I had a few beers Friday night and some mixed drinks Saturday night. So I figured it was the hot sauce/pepper that was causing it. I did some research, and come to find out that occasionally adults can develop food allergy. It can also happen after you over eat a certain item. I am certain that I am allergic to capsaicin, the chemical that causes spicy food to be spicy.
My brother-in-law's dad is an Allergist, and I called and talked to him and he said it has to be that. I'm going to go into his office and get tested to make sure. He said really the only treatment for food allergy that works well is avoidance. I am totally bummed, because I eat something spicy literally almost every single meal.
Just to test my hypothesis one more time, I had some fried rice today for lunch and put some Sriracha on it. Sure enough, not long after I started getting itchy with really bad chest tightness/presssure/pain. I just took some benadryl and it got better.
Fuck, I am so depressed about this. I really don't think I can go w/o spicy food. Hopefully I'll be able to get some sort of desensitization treatment or something.
Suggestions? Does anybody else in OT have food allergies? Is there anything you do to allow yourself to eat what you are allergic to?
pic of my back/side
CLIFFS: I love spicy shit more than any food category. I eat something spicy nearly every meal. I love it so much I overdosed on it and developed a severe allergy to it, and now I can't eat it.
Take benadryl after every meal?
Buy more Benadryl.
ouch. have a friend that is allergic to cheese/dairy. it sucks.
as a person who also loves spicy/hotter the better, i cannot imagine going without that delicious zing that spicy food leaves in your mouth
that is just fucking unholy, WHY TEBOW? why have you forsaken mupp?
food will never taste the same ever again, everything you eat you will be tempted to add that zing.
gl with that
I couldn't imagine not being able to eat spicy food, I love it so much
wow man thats shitty. one of my friend's dads developed an allergy to alcohol at around 55. he used to be a big drinker and was always the life of the party, now it just sucks.

That is truly awful. I don't think I could handle that. Not a cool story, bro.
That sucks so bad. No way I could live life without spicy food. I think burning is the only flavor I truly enjoy. Good luck with the allergist.
Hey, at least no anaphlaxis . . . I found out I had a bee allergy the hard way.
The chest pain was so uncomfortable that I was considering going to the ER if it had persisted. Not quite anaphylaxis but still pretty darn scary.Edited By: MUPokerPlayer Dec 12th, 2011 at 01:20 AM
That sucks a lot...also a huge spicy fan.
Sidenote--your nipple is really light in color.
Lol not my nipple
My little one broke out in hives last week due to an allergic reaction to some strawberries. She was able to eat them all the time up until last week. Really strange, I freaked out when she broke out. Obv with her being 2 she was in the ER that night.
I had some shit similar to that and it ended up that I was allergic to my laundry soap. Have you switched anything up?
no. im almost positive the capsaicin is the culprit. i tried it a 3rd time today to confirm, and it happened again.
TO know for sure do a 'scratch' test on your forearm. Just scratch a bit of the skin and put a lil of the stuff you think you are allergic to on that spot (or your balls obv). See if it reacts.
Whew boy. That's terrible mupp. A true game changer. Thats gotta be worse than being young and getting some bar whore pregnant, at least you could be a degenerate and ignore the kid.
gl in a hopeful possible recovery.
Ps: could also post this in the learned from ot thread. Drinking a 4 loko at the moment because your post. Your introduction was key. Just wanted to put that out there
Man that is really awful. I've always liked spicy food but only in the last few years have I really embraced it. I put siracha or habanero salsa on damn near everything.

I Have a Dream
I have a dream…that one day I can help a little boy or girl that has no way to communicate or express their wants and needs. One day I want to give a voice to a person. Just Imagine if you were not able to physically or verbally express what you wanted or what you needed. You would probably be extremely frustrated. Becoming a speech pathologist is my biggest goal in life. Communication is the most important aspect in our every day lives. We use our communication skills to express all of our wants and desires. Unfortunately there are people in the world that do not have the ability to do so. It is my hopes and dreams to be the person that those people can come to seek help. It would be an indescribably feeling to give someone the ability to communicate.

I'm using version 0.4.1 of your plugin. I'm working on a test site doing a BuddyPress and BBPress integration on a clean install of WordPress. Both plugins are working fine together so I decided to make a backup to make things easier for me.
This file installer.template.php gets updated every time a backup is created but it never ends creating the installer.php file in the snapshot folder.
Here is where it stops logging:
09:07:58 log:class.zip=>ended

It never reaches:
I been using your plugin since version 0.3.2 on different WordPress setups. I assuming is a conflict with Buddypress since I have backup and restore BBpress forums with out issues.
On the same server I have a BBpress installation on a different folder and 2 BuddyPress and BBpress installations. The BBpress install finishes the process but both Buddypress installs halts at the same point.

The Greek government stands on the point of collapse, with the country set for a general election over membership of the euro rather than the referendum planned for early December.
Calls for a national unity government embracing the opposition also intensified as EU political leaders and financial markets demanded an end to the regional uncertainty unleashed by a small country on the periphery of the eurozone and called for measures to prevent a slide into Europe-wide slump.
George Papandreou called an emergency meeting of his cabinet for noon local time (10am GMT) on Thursday after his finance minister broke ranks over the referendum and several socialist deputies quit or threatened to quit his Pasok bloc in parliament.

I was just wondering how they would do Rock Band sets. I don't see much build factor. I think the game looks stupid personally and I don't really plan on buying it but I was just wondering what you guys think of how they would do sets.
These days it seems like lego cares less about their former target audienence. I mean my teacher asked a kid at my school if he known about lego and he said: "Isn't that a star wars game for babies?" I was shocked! Which makes me belive they should stray away from video-games.

Thanks in advance, I've got a 970 low-normal rear derailleur (rapid rise), and have been told that the new 970 shifters might not work, supposedly non-reverse shifting (whatever that means) ?!
Anybody out there have any suggestions on the best shifters to go with this rd? I've got an xt up front...
Thanks again

nothing good
about these planes, particularly for long trips. The change messed up our seating arrangements, but I managed to stick my party of four in 5C, 5E, 6C and 6E (three of those are preferred seats and I'm lucky that three of us are preferred right now.) What is the likelihood that the middle seats (5D and 6D) will be filled if I've gotten the four aisle seats covered? Perhaps people will opt for the back of the plane if it's not a full flight? We just want some space to stretch!
I noticed that there are no personal screens
, only overhead videos. Bummer. I imagine it will be a pretty dull flight to BCN. Any new updates or thoughts on this aircraft, or the likelihood it would switch back to the A332? Is the B762 really this awful?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
I heard rumors the 767's are getting AVOD at some point, since the 358's are still five years away

Carbon tax is gone: Repeal bills pass the Australian Senate .
Australia on Thursday became the first country in the world to abolish a price on carbon, with the Senate passing the government's repeal bills 39 votes to 32. After two weeks of negotiations, and several false starts, the Abbott government achieved its long-held ambition to axe the tax, to applause from government senators.
Speaking after the vote in the Senate, Mr Abbott rejoiced at the passage of the repeal bills, declaring "today the Parliament finally listened. Today the tax that you voted to get rid of is finally gone."

You will find detailed information about the History of Veszprém
The historic centre of Veszprém is the
castle, which - together with the surrounding town - was one of the
significant centre of our country until the Turkish occupation: it was
the King's and Queen's seat and an episcopal seat. The medieval castle
and town suffered large-scale destruction in the Turkish period. The
present-day historic town evolved during the town development
constructions of the 18-19 th and the early 20 th century. WWII and the
following period caused relatively little damage to the old centre.The
residential areas of Veszprém were visibly separated based on the
social and financial situation of the population. The wealthy
bourgeoisie and noblemen populated Óváros tér and the surrounding area,
Jókai utca was inhabited by clerks and craftsmen.Veszprém is a quiet
and shy town. One must pay attention to it. In order to absorb its
special atmosphere, one must stroll around its streets and squares,
listen to the bells and observe its walls and buildings.This is why
we call your attention to the following routes, which, interestingly
enough, can be combined. As the castle is always in the centre, it is
impossible to lose your way.

Rooster Roundabout: This week's music highlights
Finally, a snippet of what Jenny Lewis has been up to for the past few years. You see, I mentioned a week or two ago that her new record (The Voyager) is set to hit the music-sphere on July 29. Little did I know that Lewis was getting ready to release a lyric video of an album track a short time later. Fate or not, I'm glad for it. The song is called "Just One of the Guys," and it's produced by none other than Beck himself. If we're judging Lewis' sound off this one track, it definitely lacks the grit of Acid Tongue, but hey: evolution, right? Listen to that below.
Talk about cute: Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy has formed a group with his 18-year-old son. They're simply called Tweedy, and their debut record (Sukierae) hits stores on Sept. 16 (aka my birthday). The duo have made a song from said record available on the interwebz. Have a listen to "I'll Sing It" below, and look out for more news about the record in the coming months. Cheers!
I was one of those people that listened to Interpol's first LP (Turn On the Bright Lights), obsessed over it and never paid much attention to what they came out with afterwards. It wasn't necessarily from lack of interest ... or maybe that's exactly what it was. Regardless, they've been steadily releasing records over the years, and they're preparing the release of their fifth studio album El Pintor. That record drops on Sept. 9. Head over to Pitchfork for album details and whatnot.
Though there's been leaked videos galore all over the internet (all of them having shitty quality, I might add), the official video of Nirvana's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has now appeared online. The ceremony aired on HBO on May 31 and included other inductees like Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates, Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens. However, since the late Kurt Cobain obviously wasn't in attendance, there was a lot of speculation over who would perform as lead singer. In short, Joan Jett (who provided an underwhelming version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"), Kim Gordon, Annie Clark (of St. Vincent) and Lorde performed vocals. The best performance was definitely Lorde singing "All Apologies." You can view the performances, induction speeches and more below.
I first found out about Common after seeing him on HBO's "Def Poets." By the way, they need to bring that back. Now, Common is set to release his upcoming record Nobody's Smiling on July 22. And like most artists trying to build some buzz over a forthcoming LP, he's made album track "Kingdom," which features Vince Staples, available online for listeners and the like. So get to listening.
Unless you've been following her career, which I haven't, you probably know Sinead O'Connor mostly from "Nothing Compares 2U" or her tearing up a photo of Pope John Paul II. Regardless, she's preparing to release her 10th full-length effort, which recently got retitled as I'm not Bossy, I'm the Boss, after Sheryl Sandberg's "Ban Bossy" campaign. The album is set to hit stores on Aug. 12. For more info on that, head over to Billboard.
It's no secret that people are seriously itching for the release of Lana Del Rey's third full-length effort (Ultraviolence), seeing as how every week a new song becomes available. It's almost as if the countdown to the Mother Ship docking into the Atlantic will coincide with the record's release. And judging from the title track, it's clear that Del Rey has honed her skills to make sultry, noir-pop that aims for some semblance of controversy (ie. "he hit me, and it felt like a kiss"). I can already see headlines asserting she's glorifying abuse. But whatevs, it's one of the better tracks she's put out in a hot minute. Take a listen below, and look for the album on July 17.
I can't remember how I first heard of indie-pop duo Tennis. I want to say it was one of those momentary lapse of Pandora-predicted listens that brought me to them. While I wasn't wowed, I thought their cutesy vibe was enough to sustain a few more songs from their repertoire. And now the band is coming out with a new record titled Ritual in Repeat. To give fans a taste of the LP's vibe, they've shared the song "Never Work for Free." The album doesn't hit stores 'til Sept. 9, so that gives you some time to reacquaint yourselves to the sound of balls ... uh, I mean Tennis. Head to Stereogum to listen to that little number.
Hey there, album streamers. We've got what some good ones for ya. First is Jack White's Lazaretto. If you're too impatient to wait 'til Tuesday to pick up a physical copy, iTunes Radio has you covered. But since I lack the hardware, have Pitchfork guide you to the land of free music ... or rather, free music streaming. PS: You can watch the video to "Lazaretto" below. And while you're at it, why don't you stream First Aid Kit's latest LP (Stay Gold), which also comes out on Tuesday. That one's over at NPR.
Fresh off her last release (The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You), Neko Case has come out with a new track that also features Kelly Hogan. The song ("These Aren't the Droids") comes off a compilation titled 2776: A Millennium of American Asskickery. The release is a "comedy-musical benefit compilation" that hits stores on July 4, and proceeds from purchases will go to OneKid OneWorld. Other folks appearing on that record are Patton Oswalt, Andrew W.K., Aimee Mann, Reggie Watts and much more. Head to Pitchfork to give that a listen.

I'll second Planetes and Overdrive but I can't believe no one has mentioned Ookiku Furikabutte, not only is it my favorite sports anime its on it's way to becoming my favorite anime of all time, yet no one knows about it! Saizen has stalled on it but Central Anime has picked it up and is making regular releases as the dvds are released, and they have a status section on their webpage which lets you know exactly where they stand on each episode.
But back to Oofuri as it's known, the art, story, music and characters are all amazing. Some find the main character annoying at first but trust me he grows on you. And it has some of the best OP's i've ever seen.

I think Mononoke (not Princess Mononoke) is an underappreciated anime. It is very stylized and quite the mind trip. Though some things are difficult to get one's mind around at times, I found it to be quite enjoyable from a theatrical point of view.

text: BAMENDA, Cameroon (GPI)-- At a large compound in Bamenda, the capital of Cameroon's Northwest region, a series of apartments houses more than 15 residents. Those residents share just one pit toilet. Yvette points to the apartment that was hers in the compound until some months ago, when she moved out. "All of us in the compound shared two bathrooms and one pit toilet that was almost full," she says. "I got sick of the situation and had to move to a new compound where, though I still share the toilets with my neighbors, am a little satisfied that at least we have more than one toilet and it is modern." Besides the pressure of waiting in a queue to use the toilet in her old neighborhood, Yvette says that on rainy nights, it was very difficult to go to the toilet at all because it lacked a proper roof. So, many tenants would poop in plastic bags or pails and dispose of it in the morning, she says. Yvette and her former neighbors are not alone in this sanitation dilemma. Open defecation is a common practice in Cameroon. Still, it is considered a shameful topic for young women to discuss, so Yvette requested her last name be withheld. Moreover, public defecation creates numerous health risks. Thousands of residents of Bamenda and other cities in Cameroon don't have access to toilets because of a lack of public and private facilities. The government has built some facilities, but it admits it's not enough. A sanitation team strives to discourage residents from open defecation, the elimination of which is crucial in preventing outbreaks of cholera and other sanitation-related diseases. Meanwhile, nongovernmental organizations have initiated campaigns to improve sanitation facilities and practices. Sanitation is a human right and key in disease prevention, according to the World Health Organization. WHO predicts that 2.7 billion people – about 40 percent of the world's population – will be without access to basic sanitation by 2015 if current trends continue. Cholera outbreaks are a result of inadequate water supplies, sanitation, food safety and hygiene practices. Less than half of Cameroon's population has access to improved sanitation facilities, according to UNICEF's latest statistics from 2008. Musa Usman Ndamba is the president of Bamenda Traders and Economic Operators Union, an association of more than 1,000 small businesses in the city that advocate for labor rights and better working conditions. He says that public bathrooms are lacking here, estimating that there are 5,000 traders occupying 1,000 shops in the city's main market – yet just a few toilets for them and their customers to use. "These traders, plus the thousands of people who visit the market, are disposed to two urina[ls] and four toilets provided by the local council," he says. Traders and customers must pay 50 francs (10 cents) to use the toilet, he says. The number of toilets are few, and the maintenance is poor. During the rainy seasons, the toilets often flood. Because they are located near the stalls that sell food, this puts the traders and the public at high risk for disease. The risk is even greater for women, who must squat to use the toilets, because of their proximity to the waste. Ndamba says his union has written to the council appealing for positive action to protect the health of the traders and the public.

If you're riding a bike with a through axle on the front, you have two options for mounting to a SeaSucker rack: use a Fork Up adapter, or use the new dedicated 15mm or 20mm fork mounts. The 15mm and 20mm fork mounts are bolt on and meant for people who are always using their rack with their thru-axle bike.
To attach, unbolt the existing fork mount (you'll need an adjustable or 7/16″ wrench and a 5/32 hex wrench). Place the new fork mount in position and bolt on using the same hardware you just removed from the original fork mount.
Key Features:
If ordered before 9pm, delivered by courier next working day. Available on orders placed before 9pm (2pm weekends and Bank Holidays) for delivery next business day. Applies to most delivery addresses within mainland UK.

Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
- Welcome X.org 7.2 \o/.
- Set X11BASE to ${LOCALBASE} for recent ${OSVERSION}.

Johannesburg - The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) will formally regulate live perlemoen as a food instead of the existing self-regulation by industry players, it said on Thursday.
Perlemoen had received the second highest hazard rating on the scale used for food products, said spokesperson Mirriam Moswaane.
"...[It] therefore poses a public health threat due to biotoxins and other various environmental contaminants that might lead to serious illness or even death", she said.
Moswaane said the NRCS would now be responsible for the monitoring and testing of the product to "minimise the risks of transferring dangerous micro-organisms from abalone to consumers".
"Risks which cause abalone [perlemoen] to become toxic to humans include red tide, contamination with marine biotoxins and shellfish poisoning."
She said food producers putting dangerous products on the international market could damage the entire perlemoen industry.
"Evidence supplied to the market about the strict routine sampling and analyses of the product and the sea water medium in which they grow, will see an increase in trade."

Yes, it is a drizzly day here in Seattle, but many PayScalers rode in nonetheless. Rain is unlikely to stop us. In fact, when asked about their fondest memories after a month of biking to work, riding in the rain often topped the lists of PayScale's intrepid bike commuters.

Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by RNBABOLAT, Mar 4, 2012.
Hi I want to know what color name is the shorts that nadal wear at the 2009 FO Thanks
Nikes fancy name for dark grey.
I'd agree with you normally, but 2009 is a really unique grey. yes, it is dark grey, but almost impossible to match EXACTLY.
Why does nike make up special names for their colors like volt, obdisian ect.
It's all about the $$$$$
But whats is the name??? Because my pair needs a replacement and I dont remember the code or the name of the color or is a way to find the color code in the shorts????
because they are basic colors with various hue differences. Yes, you get more money, but it IS a different color, even if it is slight.
The color was called Classic Charcoal.
Separate names with a comma.

A whining crowd, a Punjabi commentator, and a list of some common and bizarre events. You guessed it, the scene is set for the one of the most uncanny Olympics in the world — The Rural Olympics.
Every year the month of Valentine commences with some action-packed performances showcasing a great display of physical strength and endurance in KIla Raipur, a small village near Ludhiana in Punjab.
The genesis of this amazing event can be traced way before independence to 1933 when philanthropist Inder Singh Grewal envisioned the notion to organize an annual meet for the local farmers to showcase their physical endurance and talent. What started as a recreational activity among the farmers of nearby villages has now travelled for almost eight decades and turned into a major international event attracting both participants and spectators from all across India and even abroad. The event this year entered its 78th year and was held from January 31 to February 2.
The event turns out to be a Holy Grail for photographers and travel enthusiasts, who throng Kila Raipur. They can be seen in every corner of the ground circumscribing the athletes with their shooting gear, and often disrupting the view of spectators in the stands.
I reached the venue at around 11 AM and by that time the sports had commenced. The stadium was packed to overwhelming capacity - spectators had occupied every corner for a glimpse of the event. The crowd was made up of local people -- villagers, students, ladies and children who soared high every time to show their appreciation.
ALSO READ: Jallikattu - Grabbing the bull by the horns
Participants ranged from teenagers to senior citizens, farmers to salaried employees, and able-bodied to differently abled. The first event was the track event for senior citizens. Their attractive physique left me a bit ashamed at my belly lumps. It was no surprise that they completed the race within the wink of eye without any sign of exhaustion on their face. On the other hand my plump nose was wheezing for breath after few rounds of the ground.
Beside normal sports competitions, the event's eye-catchers comprise an unusual display of endurance and physical strength. My eyes widened to their extremes and my mouth opened in a state of wonder as I witnessed these events from less than 10 feet away. There were some wacky events. Athletes dragged cars with their ears, teeth and hair; they lifted bicycles tied to 10-foot poles with their mouths, they pulled tractors and lifting them from one side with their legs, they lay under moving tractors… the list of bizarre events goes on. Some of the events came from "specially abled" athletes, which made every spectator applaud louder in appreciation.
As the day progressed, the ground was taken over by Sikh warriors (nihangs), who exhibited their incredible war skills (gatka). The "nihangs" were seen performing some truly rare acrobatic stunts on their horses at blazing speed — these included riding two or three horses at once, pegging, etc. The mood was later lightened by cultural performances and startling dance performances by the beautifully clad camels and horses to the beats of a dhol.
Evenings were reserved for the acclaimed event of the Rural Olympics - Bullock Cart Racing. The venue, already packed beyond capacity, became overwhelming crowded with spectators risking their lives to watch from terraces, parapets and nearby trees. The specially modified carts, with their jockeys, lined up at one end of the ground. The participants enjoyed their few minutes of fame and waved heartily to the crowd.
The race starts with an exorbitant dose of adrenaline thrusting through the veins of the participants and within no time they vanished to the other end, which was sensibly kept open so that they could blaze off into the fields as it was impossible to stop the bulls once they got going. There were several rounds of adrenaline-pumping performances, which drove the crowd mad with excitement and they roared louder and louder each time.
The Rural Olympics should be on the wishlist of every travel bug or photographer. For one, it's more affordable to attend than the real Olympics.

Marshall University students learned how the repeal of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was implemented from one of the military's top brass Wednesday night at the Memorial Student Center.
Air Force Colonel Gary Packard says he helped lead the Defense Department team who drafted the repeal.
Packard talked about the many studies and questions that helped lay out the plan that changed policy on gays in the military more than year ago.
He says studies show there is little to no affect concerning the policy.
Students say they enjoyed meeting someone who helped change a national policy.

Is this a win-win or a lose-lose?
You've probably had sex with an ex. You might be doing it as you read this, your laptop propped on a body pillow. I know this because a longitudinal study recently published in the Journal of Adolescent Research says that 53% of young adults reported having sex with an ex, and at least 44% have been in on-and-off again relationships that started with sex. If this strikes a little close to home for you, then also be aware that the study also found that our exes are the least likely of our sexual partners to use condoms.
Now, 53% seemed inordinately high, but then I did the math, and as it turns out, I've slept with 71% of my exes after breaking up. (Approximately. Also, whoops?) Clearly there's a predilection for old territory, in not only my bedroom, but in Millenials the world over. The study focused on individuals seventeen to twenty-four — also known as "emerging adults" — who, much like wisdom teeth, are slowly and painfully growing into an environment they're not entirely sure they fit into. We're a generation of backsliders, and the world right now, with its economic cesspool and ever-increasing stimuli, is only making the past that much more appealing.
According to a similar study done by SeekingArrangement.com, 47% of single women regularly have sex with their ex-partners, with the top five reasons given as:
1. "Missed physical intimacy"
2. "Want to restart the relationship"
3. "Things went too far after too much to drink"
4."Bumped into each other after a night out and it seemed like a good idea"
5. "Flirting on Facebook"
Excepting the final one, which just speaks of browsing Facebook while shitfaced on Jameson, all of those reasons involve retreating into the past, or choosing the path of least resistance, two things Millennials are pretty consistently accused of.
The researchers conclude that we "emerging adults," shuffling forth from our parents' basements into the arms of NYT trend-pieces and novelty Tumblrs, are basically fickle and unimaginative retromaniacs. As they discovered, the general path of our relationships essentially involves cycling through previously-formed connections. For a generation constantly blamed for its inherent laziness, the fact that we're apparently most likely to bone someone we've already boned makes it seem like we're just as bored and stuck as they say we are. We're just biding our time as we stagger through a sexual recession.
We can conjecture day and night about who and what is to blame for backsliding, but part of hooking up with your ex, and the attendant psychological and emotional baggage, is a comfort thing. Our old jeans are a hell of a lot easier to fit into than our new ones, and so is intercourse that doesn't involve the vulnerable, "This is what I like, touch me here," period that a new relationship requires. New hook-ups take a frightening, stomach-churning amount of guesswork and investment, so ex-sex feels ideal for the risk-adverse. Need a quick lay? Call an ex, the boxed-cake-mix version of intimacy.
Comfort feeds reticence, and sex with an ex is the first verse of the "I'm not ready to move on" song. Recently, after a many-months-after-we-broke-up "visit" to an ex, he playfully dubbed me his "vintage luggage," which I think he meant as a compliment. I imagined a well-worn case carried with him on short weekend jaunts (certainly nothing out-of-state). I was mildly offended at the time, but looking back, maybe that was all either of us was looking for: a reminder of an easier time. Sex with an ex is the relationship equivalent of moving back into your parents' basement. It's cheap, you're used to it, and it's a quick move.
But what good does it really do to take a spin through the ol' Rolodex? Often we end up self-sabotaging when we dally with recycled lovers. Nostalgia is a cold comfort, and feelings of intimacy and closeness can keep you from moving on and meeting someone else. (And trust me, it can happen to either party.) Sex with an ex can be like the mailer-daemon of good intentions, hurling all of our outreach right back to us.
Relationship patterns are patterns for a reason, and given that more than half of us are doing it, it looks like this one is here to stay (much like our exes). We're never going to stop schtupping the people we've already been with, so maybe it's time to recast the times when we fall into bed with a ghost from our past in a different light. Maybe we should think of these exes not as possible passages to previous relationships, but as nude conduits for self-exploration. At some point you know you have to pack up the vintage luggage and go back home, but for an instant, the vacation is gratifying, and if you're lucky, you leave while there's still enough time to find someone new.
