Girls on film
The Killing of Sister George (1968)
Banned in Ireland, this was the first mainstream film to depict a lesbian love scene.
There were softcore erotic films before this but not an extended lesbian lovemaking scene like the one here between Mercy (Coral Browne) and Alice (Susannah York).
The Hunger
An otherwise boring art movie with David Bowie made memorable for its sex scenes featuring Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve.
Deneuve plays a vampire who seduces Sarandon's character.
Henry And June
This film is a fairly explicit treatment of the diaries of Anais Nin and the romantic triangle Anais (Maria De Medeiros) had with American Tropic of Cancer author Henry Miller (Fred Ward), and his bisexual wife June (played by a then 19-year-old Uma Thurman).
It includes the fantasy sequence of Anais having sex with June.
Wild Side
This is an erotic lesbian thriller with Anne Heche playing a financial consultant by day and high-class call girl by night.
There's a pretty explicit love-making scene and the whole thing is given an added tension by the fact that you know Anne Heche came out and got together with Ellen DeGeneres after this.
Head in the Clouds
After winning best actress for Monster in 2004 Charlize Theron bucked convention by playing a free-spirited American heiress and photographer who has an affair with a Spanish model (Penelope Cruz). Pictured left.

Never. Unless it's a close friend and I'd only be doing it to satisfy my own ego by correctly guessing the frag
Sure. Usually women and usually spontaneously. It's not something I think about but if someone suddenly smells good I might make a comment. I don't think I'd have a problem complimenting a guy, but I just very rarely come across a guy that smells good, or I don't think about it.
But I have to work on accepting compliments more graciously. When someone tells me I smell good, my initial reaction is always "oh, do I have too much on? It's not too strong, is it?" The next time someone says something I'm just going to say "thank you" and move on.
EDIT: Just re-read the thread title and realized I missed the word "stranger's" the first time around. So in that case, never.

My wardrobe is up to date as of 10/09/17, and anything on my "Swap List" is for sale. You set the price and we'll negotiate from there. Inquire within!
Never. Unless it's a close friend and I'd only be doing it to satisfy my own ego by correctly guessing the frag
Never, although I often think I should. Case in point, the woman sat next to me on the train this morning was wearing Millesime Imperial. I'm sure of it. It was radiating off her as well which made for a pleasant journey. I would like to have paid a much deserved compliment but didn't probably down to awkward British social conventions.

I get them all the time when wearing Lelabo's Santal 33 or Tom Ford's Noir de Noir. The reactions usually are " what's the lovely / intense perfume you are wearing ?"
If I recognize a scent that I admire on another, I don't compliment but I use to compliment but not no more I just chuckle : if I intensely admire a scent that I don't recognize I do compliment for the sake knowledge ...who doesn't honestly like a compliment and if the opportunity and right situation arises ..then I will compliment as I'm not a selfish person ; btw an honest compliment could make some ones day brighter, I hope so

"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Only one time I can recall, and it ended up having an interesting back story. But to make a long story short, I was in the Sky Club at JFK, and there was a young man sitting next to me who turned out to be a Saudi living in Paris. I don't recall what he was wearing now, but it was terrific.
Never. I don't smell much that is impressive, or on the street I can't tell where it is coming from, so I keep my compliments for those I'm on hugging terms with.
1) Yes
2) No
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
If I like how they smell I will. With women I usually do because I want to know the name of what they are wearing and with men same thing, or yes sometimes to "hit" on them and break the ice. Or because they just smell good and it's nice to let them know, it probably makes their day a little better. Different reasons.
I don't mind getting compliments from either sex as long as it's respectful.
Oh and I do think its a lil weird for a guy to compliment another guy on how good he smells, especially if they do it just to compliment them and not to ask the name of fragrance they are wearing. Maybe it's silly but that's what I honestly think.

1) Yes
2) Usually I just ask what it is. If I liked the scent, I would probably compliment the fragrance itself, "That is a great scent." rather than "You smell great." For me, that avoids the whole awkwardness of the compliment in cases where either a person is embarrassed to be complimented or misconstrues the compliment as a come on.
Most recently a male airline steward walked down the aisle and I smelled a nice, dry cologne that was obviously quality. I found myself wondering how long ago he applied, what it was, and if he could smell it himself (wasn't too powerful, but definitely had sillage).
Before that, I noticed a man I work with was wearing a quite sweet aquatic, also enjoyable. I made a mental note but didn't say anything. I work in an environment where fragrances are a no-no, so this was why it was notable.
Before that, a man I work with who is also a friend and who is quite sophisticated in his personal style and grooming was wearing a woodsy cologne when he met me for dinner. He had obviously recently sprayed as it was quite strong. I didn't say anything at the time. I assumed it was some ultra expensive niche fragrance. Weeks later, fragrance came up in conversation I told him I noticed him wearing cologne and asked what it was. It was actually A&F Woods, the only thing he likes to wear.
So apparently, my detect to compliment ratio is 0/3 initially and 1/3 with a long delay...
I am way too shy for that s**t lol. The closest I'll ever come is telling someone that they smell nice, but I'll pretty much never say "hey, that (insert fragrance name) smells really good on you".
1)Yes! I won't chase them on the street, but if we're waiting on the footpath or in an elevator or a coffee queue together, I'll say "I like your perfume, what is it?" (if I'm saying that to a guy, I'll change "perfume" to "cologne" or "scent".)
2) Whenever I smell something I like? Which, to be honest, isn't that often. People don't wear scent to work these days, and guys rarely wear scent.
Although I did have one experience with the secretary of the company I work for this week. I commented on her perfume, she told me that it was Clinique Elixir Aromatique and then I looked it up and realised that it was a chypre. OF COURSE I liked it. My preference for chypres is strong!
don't get compliments from strangers, i would not compliment a stranger!

Once in a while.
It's pretty rare, but if I smell something good on someone regardless of gender, I will compliment them if the occasion is right. TPO!
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
If its a guy it would have to be something I never smelled before,its way easier to compliment a woman,it just is.
Every now and then, but it's usually in a restaurant, an elevator or jiu-jitsu class (being that close to sweaty people makes me want encourage the use of fragrance).
I used to but my friends told me that they themselves don't mind it, but others might (their nice way of telling me most people think I'm weird)
My husband says he smelled something he liked on a stranger. I say- Why didn't you ask her what it was? I'd really like to know. (Me, that is).
Only to girls. Never to guys including my friends. If my friends smells bad I just tell them 'YOU STINK'.
I've complimented 3 guys since this post. I think the easiest way to compliment someone is to flat guess what they're wearing. Instead of just saying "You smell good," that would seem awkward.
I give compliments because as everyone knows on BN, I love getting them....I don't have any problem walking up to someone, male or female, and saying they smell great....Usually, I ask what they are wearing because I want to get that same fragrance so perhaps a little selfishness is involved too...lol...
1.) MFK Baccarat Rouge 540
2.) Frank no. 2 LA
3.) Creed Viking
4.) Creed Royal Mayfair
5.) ADG Profumo
6.) Lampblack
7.) New York Intense (parfum)
8.) Fahrenheit
9.) Dusita Issara
10.) Gengis Khan
Honorable Mention: Chanel Sycomore
If it smells good I ask them what it is. If it's a woman wearing some exhilarating floral, or Mitsouko, vintage Cabochard, stuff like that, I tell them emphatically how great it is then allow my world to expand. Few things are better than smelling great perfume on a provocative woman with some serious attitude.

A stranger? Wow...can't remember if I have. That's actually surprising to me. I may have asked a Nordie's employee once.

Easy Locksmithing Tips Anyone Can Use Today
There are lots of factors that influence the locksmith you need to consider before hiring a locksmith . Don't wait for the last minute and get yourself educated! This article has some great suggestions to help you do just that. Continue reading and retain this information for future use.
No matter if you believe you won't need a locksmith , it pays to prepare yourself anyway. Do your homework before you are in a pinch, and you can have someone you can rely on if you ever have an emergency. Put their number into your phone so it is always available to you.
Cover your locks before you paint a door. It takes some time to cover the locks, but you will lose even more time and money if you end up having to call a locksmith to come fix your locks.
Look at the Better Business Bureau website to find out about a locksmith's reputation. Doing that will let you know if you are currently dealing with a professional. ALOA.org is also a good place to check, since it is an entity that checks out the validity of locksmith professionals nationally.
You want to make sure that you hire is working for your best interest and not their own. Some scammers will make their own copy of your key so they can rip you off later on.
Get references and recommendations before you allow a locksmith in you house. After this is done, you should take it a step further and give them a call. This will ensure that you know exactly what you are getting from your locksmith.
You should prepare yourself even if you need a locksmith is necessary. Research to find reputable professionals that can trust. Put their number into your cell phone so it is always available to you.
It is very important the locksmith you hire has proper identification when they come to the job. Tell them over the phone and ensure they agree. A professional locksmith will gladly show his credentials before beginning to work on your lock.
Do not use a locksmith that changes their quote upon arrival. There are many locksmiths out there for you off.
Don't hire a locksmith until they have given you the information of current customers. Many businesses are happy to provide references, so you should actually call them. You can ask these existing customers questions about the service they have received.
Look for a locksmith who are active within their communities. It helps to ensure that you have a true professional working on the latest industry trends. It also allow you know that they're not just going to try and take your money and not do their work right.
You are letting in people that can pick locks easily. Do not hire them if you get suspicious. That's why you should meet them at a storefront first before giving them your address.
Get references before allowing a locksmith. Call all of the references before hiring them. You surely want the best possible services and a person that you can completely trust.
Call the police to check up on the locksmith you are thinking of hiring; they can let you know if anyone has lodged any complaints about the individual or company. If they have, you should be able to read the reports. If there are complaints, you probably want a different company.
One of the first questions to ask a new locksmith is how many years they have ran their business. Make sure that they've also been operating from this location the same location. A company with five or more years of experience in one area is probably a good bet.
Identify the type of service you will require prior to calling a locksmith. Have you left your keys somewhere? This is quite different from a stolen key emergency. One just needs you to get back inside, and the other means you need to rekey the locks or have some new ones installed. This is why the locksmith needs to know what to do.
There are quite a few websites that can be found online. Make sure the review websites are not run by a particular locksmith.You should also go to your local BBB before you are considering has a locksmith.
Discuss your home's security with your locksmith. These are professionals that will give you a great opinion. Advice on what you need based on your personal situation is key. They may also be able to upgrade your security if that's what you want to do.
Check a locksmith's credentials before letting him inside your home. You can check out their business address with his telephone number. With the World Wide Web at your fingertips, it has become increasingly easy to look someone up and make sure that they are trustworthy, so don't skip this step!
Ask to see proof that a locksmith has insurance before you hire them. If something doesn't go right and your car or home is damaged, their insurance is what will cover the replacement and repair costs. Be sure that the expert you hire is insured fully.
Sometimes this will mean that the person to do the work correctly. Get quotes from different places and find one you want to hire.
If you have names of locksmiths already, make sure to check them out with the BBB. You can easily check membership in the BBB as well as see if they have any claims against them. If complaints do show up, see if they have been resolved satisfactorily.
Ask the locksmith you are considering how long he or she has worked. If it is a long time, most likely the company is one that you can trust. Although a new locksmith shouldn't automatically be viewed as untrustworthy, lack of experience can be a cause for concern.
Do some research on locksmiths ahead of time, so that you are not unprepared when the need for one suddenly arises. Working to hire a locksmith in a rush can cause poor choices. Once you have found a good locksmith in your area, add them to the contacts in your cellphone.
Avoid any locksmith who says it will be necessary to drill your lock out or replace a new one.
Locksmiths have a wide variety of uses in your life. Often, a good locksmith can put a hidden safe in your home and show you areas where your security system is weak. They can secure your life.
Do not choose locksmiths who charges you just for showing up! This is far from standard practice, so it's a sure sign that the person you are dealing with is a scam. If you find out that he does not have a license and he still wants to pay, ask him to leave, call the police if they tell you to pay up.
Ask about additional fees when you hire a locksmith. Is tax included or not included with the total they quoted? Do they offer discounts for certain types of work or seniors? Are extra fees attached to things like the urgent service or calling outside of normal hours? Know the real total before you agree!
Some have the knowledge to reconfigure your alarm systems too.

For those who fancy themselves as carefree, sandy-footed children-of-the-sea types, this story may at times induce bouts of envy, disdain and possibly even nausea. Whereas most travel trips evolve into journeys into our souls, this particular journey led its passengers nowhere in particular, save for the abyss of debauchery. It all started when nine of the world's hottest surfers were invited by Red Bull on a first-class, all-expenses-paid deluxe charter through Fiji's Southern Lau Group aboard one hell of cruise ship to partake in their groundbreaking new contest format, dubbed the "Red Bull Five-By." The 177-foot luxury liner maintained a huge support staff, high-definition film crew, onboard masseuse, fully stocked bar, and enough toys to keep the boys (and girls) happy for a fortnight. The impending adventure (and lack thereof) was too enticing for us to miss.
Day 1
Ian Walsh and Keala Kennelly are dealt a bad hand by Air Pacific when they first meet Alex Gray, who, in typical budding-California-pro style, is sitting on the floor against a wall in LAX's international terminal, trying to make sense of his guitar. In order to meet up with the cast and crew, both Walsh and Kennelly fly from the islands to L.A., then jump on board another flight heading back over Hawaii to Fiji. Direct from Oahu to Suva is seven, maybe eight hours; these two are spending more than 20 in the air.
After a few bulas at the airport and a brief air-conditioned bus ride through the cane fields, we arrive at Nadi Harbor. There, tethered to the dock, bobs the 177-foot, 33-cabin Yasawa Princess. On board: two tending skiffs to ferry people about as needed, two WaveRunners (because they're a must-have for every hip surf trip), a complete crew from captain to cook (even down to Sam the bartender), a spacious 100-person dining room, an air-conditioned lounge, and enough supplies to spend the next six months getting lost. The opulence stops short of tennis courts, and we're missing a pool and sauna, but then there is the onboard driving range on the sun deck. Thoughts of gluttony on the high seas are taking hold.
"Are you kidding? That's our boat!" cackles Alex as we pass through the Blue Lagoon Cruises' security gate.
Cabin keys are doled out (everybody gets their own suite), board bags stowed, remaining loose odds and ends tied up, and by late afternoon the Princess shoves off, beginning a 12-hour sail around Viti Levu, over to Suva, to pick up the rest of our traveling companions.
Day 2
We slog through a slow, misty morning when Andy Irons and his girlfriend Lyndey roll up to the Suva dock along with Bruce Irons and Jamie O'Brien. The heavy hitters took the direct flight in. It's safe to say that Lyndey, as the only non-surfer girl on the boat, save the masseuse (but she has a moustache), will certainly be inducing a bad case of the wandering eye in just about all the cast and crew, especially as the days wear on. Mick Fanning also makes his way up the gangway. He didn't bring his girlfriend—in fact he's single and much prefers it that way. "Oh mate, I didn't even bring any magazines. Don't need 'em, I got me a pretty diverse memory bank."
Once Aussies Ben Dunn, Beau Emerton, Tony Ray and Ant MacDonald make the Princess home, we head back to sea.
Nightfall comes quickly, and once the poker chips on board are discovered, Ian and Bruce corral everyone in for the introductory night of Texas Hold 'Em. Some forms of surf talent can be easily applied to the poker table. Ian Walsh's bravado is clearly an asset, as he lures his victims in with his familiar ante-up phrase: "Are you in or out, slut?" O'Brien, however, nervously bends and folds his cards. Andy's surfing may be the best in the business, but his poker face isn't, as he still wears it all on his sleeve. In a Napoleon Dynamite-esque tone he huffs, "God! Why? Why do you have to bend the cards Jamie?" Then he throws down a two of diamonds and a seven of spades.
According to the captain it'll be another night's sail before we reach the first spot. Besides a few bruised egos at the card table, spirits are high. Everybody's slipping into Fiji time.

Day 3
The mornings are the most peaceful time on the Princess. Sipping a fresh cup of coffee, Andy's silently been watching the horizon. Our Fijian guide Ian walks up, telling him, "Dis place is called Doc's, it's a good right. On big swells it reels. I discovered it a few months ago when I came through here with some doctors."
Mick, maybe a little more motivated than everybody else after overcoming his hamstring injury, paces on deck as the skiff's lowered. "Come on ya cunts, let's go, let's go. What are we waitin' for? Let's go!" he babbles. "Is anybody else sweating? I'm hot. Is it hot? I think I've had too many espressos, mate."
To nobody's surprise, Mick is the first in the water. Bruce and Andy catch the next boat out, while the rest of us observe for a while. Andy is looking pretty casual, as you'd expect him to be while on vacation, yet he still takes off deeper than everybody else and toys with a racy shallow section. For the most part though, he seems to be goofing around until Lyndey, already in her third outfit of the morning, comes out to watch. Andy promptly elevates his game to another level, demonstrating to all why he holds three World Titles, and the girl.
Day 4
True to forecast charts, the swell's begun to shift direction, moving from the east to the west. Ian led us to a reef in the middle of the ocean, literally, at least 15 or 20 miles from land. On one side a right stacks up, looking like a mini-Sunset on the bigger sets. Across a shallow lagoon (the reef never broke the ocean's surface), past two oxidizing shipwrecks, a zippy, Restaurant's-like left spun down the reef. Because it is every surfer's sworn duty to name a spot "Shipwreck's" if there is a dilapidated boat anywhere in the general vicinity, the lefthander will for evermore join the ranks of surf spots named after nautical misfortune.
Day 5
The ocean has gone flat, and restlessness is beginning to threaten morale. But, wisely, the trip organizers at Red Bull know a thing or two about the value of playing nanny to a boatload of misfits. A little structured playtime always cools the heels, and they've planned accordingly. Keala, Alex and Jamie get their hands on spray-paint and paint-pens and acrylics and have an arts and crafts day. The poker rages on. Then Bruce, Tony Ray, Ian Walsh, Ian Muller and the captain go fishing, but only the captain scores, hand-lining a 40-pound tuna. While the deckhand is gaffing the fish to get it on board, two sharks snap out of the water. It's a quick reminder of what's below.
All appear tranquil through the afternoon until the Aussies disappear. Something is up. Then Beau resurfaces, dressed to the hilt in Aussie garb—cape, headband, shorts, socks, T-shirt—all bearing some form of the country's flag. Turns out the Aussies' are fulfilling a civic duty: celebrating Australia Day, that country's Fourth of July, but instead of fireworks, there's beer. It starts with somebody buying a round of drinks, then some drinking songs and rabid toasting to all the "mates" that couldn't be there, then somebody buys another round of drinks. After 18 rounds of this, the night concludes with a "longest drive" contest off the sundeck.
Day 6
After the patriotic evening, we make landfall for the first time in nearly a week, on a tiny island called Matuku. A few hundred years ago the locals would've greeted us with brain-forks in hand, and Alex would have been slow-cooked like veal tenderloin. But times have changed; instead all we had to do was just play rugby. With pride still ringing, the Aussies seem to think we have a chance at making it a game. But this village of 200 people is home to the best rugby team in Fiji. Our rag-tag team arrives to the field donning sandals and trunks. The Fijians all have cleats and matching jerseys.
"Ah, come on mates, let's go," Beau cheers, still drunk, trying to rally the troops. "It's just a little game of footy."
Less than an hour later we limp back on board, a sore, sorry, grass-stained lot.

Islamabad, May 10 (ANI): A blame game has started over the leakage of the report of the enquiry commission, which was constituted by the Pakistan Cricket (PCB) to look into reasons behind the team's deplorable performance during Australia tour, with both former captain Younis Khan and the board blaming each other for disclosing the details of the report to the media.
Younis's lawyer Ahmad Qayyum said the report was leaked deliberately by the PCB, instead of handing it over to him.
"The report published on the front page of a leading English daily today was leaked by the PCB, but I did not receive the report. It is amazing that the concerned party has no copy of the report while it is made available to the media. I only received a hard copy today, in fact just five minutes before getting here. It is an attempt to conduct a media trial of Younis Khan," The Dawn Qayyum, as saying.
The PCB's counsel, Talib Hyder Rizvi, however, insisted that the board had kept the report a well-guarded secret till it had to be handed over to a few people for filing appeals against the ban on players.
"I had expressed my doubts that the report will not remain a secret for long and will be leaked to the media after it was handed over to the others and now you have seen all of it in the media," Rizvi said.
It may be noted that a Pakistani English Daily had quoted former coach Intikhab Alam describing his team as a bunch of uncivilised players who do not know how to wear clothes or talk.
The newspaper's report said that Alam had told the PCB enquiry commission that skipper Shoaib Malik had a 'negative attitude', and blamed him for infighting in the team.
"They do not know that they are representing the country. They don't know how to wear their clothes and how to talk in a civilised manner," the report quoted Alam, as saying during a earing of the six-member commission,
Alam, who was sacked after the tour, however, refused to comment on the leaked report.
"I don't remember exactly what I said, but I focused on cricketing issues," he said. (ANI)

Sep 5, 2016Teia Rabishu posted a message on Star Trek: Myriad Universes Mafia IV: Game Over - Serial Killer WinsPosted in: MafiaQuote from Annorax »Between this and the ending putting Q on a rapidly exploding bus
To be fair, I did give Q an out.
Oh yeah, just so I can be annoying to everyone about it, the ending was actually going to be determined by the faction that won. Town victory meant Q would've sealed the Pah Wraith away. Scum victory meant there'd be a new Cult of the Pah Wraiths, not an Emissary. Spot victory meant a new Emissary.
Most of the plot was written on the fly. There was little forethought beyond all that. I just abused the **** out of my ability to create pretty good settings, worlds, and plot essentially out of a stream of consciousness, so by the time the villain finally explained her master plan, it seemed like I was including plot elements way earlier than I'd ever thought of them. "BDSM Prophet" as I called her behind the scenes was a result of having to punish Necarg for breaking his Teia-themed posting restriction (she wasn't even a Pah Wraith then, just a Prophet vision taking a perverted role with a pervert). Her being an evil counterpart to Q came after that. The USS Event Horizon was just a means of exiling the modkills at first. And so on and so forth.
The tachyon particles were a Watchmen reference, for those who were wondering. Same thing Ozymandias did to Dr. Manhattan, just on a bigger scale.
I realize this is ***** only I care about, but come on, I wanna ramble so I'mma ramble.

Yeah, Rax and I realized partway in that the bulletproof should've been one-shot, not permanent. There should also probably have been another check on the SK, too. We did our best to balance out such a complex game, but if something wound up a bit overtuned, then you have my apologies.

To be fair, that double modkill was super rough and basically put the town and scum both into "lynch the cat right away or lose" mode. Like, the town was basically unable to win after that. It was just a toss-up as to whether the scum would win by lynching the SK, or whether the SK would ride townreads to victory.
Design issues were one thing, but the SK not getting lynched, being vaporized by the phaser, or getting investigated was on the players.

Apr 23, 2017Teia Rabishu posted a message on The Magic Market Index Amonkhet Set ReviewPosted in: ArticlesQuote from Mergatroid_Jones »It's like people don't even know that Anointed Procession will be eight bucks in five years. How is it this kind of card always follows this pattern?
It's ultimately a supply thing. When it's bulk, it just kind of gets tossed to the wayside by most players, and thus never really enters circulation into the market (if ten thousand casual players all open a copy each, those ten thousand copies won't amount to anything if they're never sold or traded away, after all). Then after years and years go by and
GhaveEDH players need to get their token copying fix, they find that there are fewer copies out there than you'd have thought given the massive print runs modern sets have. And sometimes these shortages are forced by profiteers who buy up every copy they can find on the cheap and jack the price up by sheer availability drought. You need that time factor before things can really get silly, price-wise, though.
The real question is how many sets we can go through before this pattern stops holding up due to any number of economic factors. Just because Parallel Lives is worth a lot doesn't mean Anointed Procession will necessarily hold up if the state of Magic is rather different in five years.

While I did some research to try to get a sense of how people were trying to solve the new metagame, I can certainly miss things. That sort of combo would definitely explain the spike in price Fumarole's seeing more cleanly than it complementing Saheeli Rai. I'll keep that combo on my radar as far as tracking Fumarole's price is concerned.

Dec 18, 2016Teia Rabishu posted a message on The Magic Market Index for December 16, 2016The reason I ask Rai specifically to use private channels is that there are several factors related to the transition in MMI authorship which are covered by staff confidentiality. Because of that and because of prior discussions we've had privately, it's difficult if not impossible for he and I to engage in productive discussion in a public venue. This isn't to say that other feedback should be private—things like "the BFZ-is-DGM joke was more confusing than funny" for instance are perfectly fine to air publicly, and I apologize if my statement came across as an attempt to reduce transparency. I should have been more upfront about why Rai's case is special.Posted in: Articles

Jun 18, 2016Teia Rabishu posted a message on The Magic Market Index for June 16, 2016Typos have been fixed. The Manakin/Millikin one was like... I barely know what either of those cards are anyway, but there's no excuse for Sidisi. My bad on both, though.Posted in: Articles
Also, as far as Necro goes, the FTV art is just kinda... overwrought, I'd say. I personally use the Deckmasters version since the old art is one of Magic's more iconic pieces. Art is always subjective, though (for example, I had quite a discussion with someone this FNM about which Top art is better), so the best the MMI can do is offer a suggestion as to when art may be more or less desirable for pimping out one's deck. In that respect, what the MMI is basically offering is a rough guideline of where this Necro stands in relation to others (if I remember correctly, the Korean Fifth printing is considered the most pimp).
Jun 17, 2016Posted in: ArticlesQuote from krisdaschwab912 »So did somebody forget to hit "publish" again?
For reference, I'm currently working such that the MMI needs to be submitted to me by midnight Thursday. This is a departure from how things used to be, since I used to be able to stay up much later. If it misses that deadline, then I get home from work just before 4 PM Pacific time (which is about ten minutes from this post), which is the earliest I can work on it since my work blocks MTGS. (Edit: Wow, "work" three times in one sentence. And I call myself an editor...)
This week's MMI should be up within a half hour, give or take.

Nov 24, 2015I'd argue that the Creative team (including both character conceptualization and the art direction) are separate enough from tournament policy that you can't really say one poisons the other. It's more just a case that the left hand doesn't always know what the right is doing. My own personal complaints there are less about things like Liliana (since context is more important than single data points) and more about how it feels like they engage in rampant tokenization (e.g. Alesha, Narset, even Ashiok to an extent not really mattering past their initial introductions) while keeping the main characters primarily straight and light-skinned.Posted in: Articles
But none of that really gets in the way of enjoying a game, and I'm speaking as a bisexual trans woman here. Hell, my avatar and signature come from a hentai game. Magic's characterization and art direction aren't egregiously sexist enough to warrant excluding other concerns that keep women away from the game. Some women even take the "you are a planeswalker" thing and imagine being the dark-and-alluring type like Liliana, or the paladin type like Elspeth, or the free spirit type like Chandra, or the in-tune-with-nature type like Nissa, or whatever (and that's just the planeswalkers, to say nothing of the various legends floating around). Speaking from a feminist perspective, Magic isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than most, and it's a better use of one's energy to go after the companies that do things horribly wrong instead of the ones that do some things right but aren't perfect.
And Wizards is doing something right if approximately 40% of Magic players are female-identified. If that could be translated into tournament attendance, it'd be a huge win for equality even if it's not exactly 50/50.
Nov 21, 2015Posted in: ArticlesQuote from GoblinRabblemaster »You just don't get it.
Case in point, at one point he said something about "you and the author."
Except... I am the author.
Nov 21, 2015Posted in: ArticlesI' always a bit surprised when I read articles like these because I seem to rarely be able to witness such "That Guy" behavior in my LGS - so it's either happening "secretly" (aka only noticable by the woman/minority getting insulted) or "behind closed doors" (aka in specific groups that I'm not a part of).
The best way to think about the "I never really witness this behaviour personally" thing is like this.
Imagine you're a regular at a restaurant. You go there for lunch about once a week. You get to know the waiter fairly well. Then one week, the waiter tells you that they run into a ton of people being utter dicks to them day in and day out. You might not see it personally, but then again, you're only in that waiter's life for a very small portion of their work week. Unfortunately, the kinds of people who whine about my "victim complex" and other nonsense when it comes to this article don't quite seem to grok that it's equivalent to telling that waiter they just have a victim complex and that people aren't really dicks to them and the like.
It's an interesting parallel, to be certain, and it speaks to how interactions with different social groups can be really stunted. A waiter can be a person just like you (where "you" in this case refers to a generic straight white cis man), so they get sympathy and the benefit of the doubt because you could easily be in their place. A woman or a person of colour speaking of issues one might not face, on the other hand, earns hostility because That Guy is hearing of these issues and thinking they're being accused of being this terrible awful person. Hence why a waiter complaining about people being dicks gets a much mellower reaction than a woman complaining about people being sexist.

text: I'm using the default music player on my fascinate. When I go into playlists, the music and artwork are there, but the list is not in order I created the playlist in. The song I selected to be last is now first... the whole list is backwards. I also checked the music by album, and they are backwards there too. I have synced with doubletwist, and tried isyncr on a macbook pro. I cannot find a setting within the music app to change this. I thought maybe it would be fine once playing, but no, I have to select the back button to go to the next song. Anyone else notice this? Also, is there somewhere in the app to delete the playlist? I can't find that either. Thanks for the input!

Kevin Myers: Riots herald new era of mass surveillance
I SUSPECT that the world entered a new and as yet largely unheralded era during the recent English riots.
Evidence of the arrival of this era has emerged in the extraordinary amounts of alleged rioters and looters who have been through the London courts.
The week of the English riots probably marked the full entry of the signals intelligence operation at GCHQ, Cheltenham, into the English legal system.

I just started a conversation with David Lankes and the rest of the nationwide iLead USA team, on the "New Librarianship." What? Couldn't we have said that 2,000 years ago or at least last century, when we started talking about 21st Century Librarianship, now over 13 years old?? Of course we could have. But did we?
What is New Librarianship? David may say, read the book. But I would say, it is about figuring out what it is that makes us a librarian and using that in meaningful ways to connect with communities, to connect with conversations, to connect the dots and help make knowledge accessible to all. The whole point is to raise consciousness, human awareness, that there is something else out there that's bigger than oneself. There are ideas, there are concepts, there are ideologies that unless explored remain in a box.
For libraries, it's not about the box or the book any more. Sure we need a box, a building, to hold it all together. Sure we need books, but they can be digital, print, or even self-published. Especially self-published.
It's about knowledge. Knowledge creation, knowledge discovery, knowledge implementation, knowledge awareness, knowledge dissemination, knowledge destruction even. It's about taking our brains out and using them to become more useable to society in general and to ourselves in specific.
In a literate society, we need champions of knowledge and defenders of the freedom to use it. We need librarians that can think, that can feel, that can create, that can innovate. In an information economy I contend that librarians are more useful than ever before.
What is this New Librarianship? It's something I am excited to be a part of.

A Harvard-trained obstetrician-gynecologist, a prominent blogger, and author of the classic How Your Baby Is Born delivers a timely, important, and sure to be headline-making exposé that shines a light on the natural parenting movement and the multimillion-dollar industry behind it.
The natural parenting movement praises the virtues of birth without medical interference, staunchly advocates breastfeeding for all mothers, and hails attachment parenting. Once the exclusive province of the alternative lifestyle, natural parenting has gone mainstream, becoming a lucrative big business today.
But those who do not subscribe to this method are often made to feel as if they are doing their children harm. Dr. Amy Tuteur understands their apprehensions. "Parenting quickly feels synonymous with guilt. And of late there is no bigger arena for this pervasive guilt than childbirth." As a medical professional with a long career in obstetrics and gynecology and as the mother of four children, Tuteur is no stranger to the insurmountable pressures and subsequent feelings of blame and self-condemnation that mothers experience during their children's early years. The natural parenting movement, she contends, is not helping them raise their children better. Instead it capitalizes on their uncertainty, manipulating parents when they are most vulnerable.
In Push Back, she chronicles the movement's history from its roots to its modern practices, incorporating her own experiences as a mother and successful OB-GYN with original research on the latest in childbirth science. She also reveals the dangerous and overtly misogynistic motives of some of its proponents - conservative men who seek to limit women's control and autonomy. As she debunks, one by one, the guilt-inducing myths of natural birth and parenting, Dr. Tuteur empowers women to embrace the method of childbirth that is right for them while reassuring all parents that the most important thing they can do is love and care for their children.

My understanding of beauty is rooted in my rural mid-western upbringing and my parents' emphasis on family bonds, respect and hard work. My work affirms life and is a reminder to celebrate the trivial, the tragic and the triumphant.
My pots are intended for gatherings of family and friends. While on display they serve as daily reminders of times spent with loved ones and symbols of times to come. These are functional pots, despite their delicate appearance. Symmetrical forms establish sturdiness and utility, while the fragility of their handles and edges and the precariousness of the feet are reminders to handle the work –and life—with care. Smooth, luscious, and transparent surfaces and lace decorations suggest formal use, though the pots are appropriate for everyday domestic life.
While made by hand, my work emphasizes the beauty of the object over the identity of the maker. In this way, they are inspired by the pottery of ancient Persia and Sung dynasty China, even as they embrace contemporary styles. Colors remind us of flesh and of candy; things that are sweet, good, and that stir desire.
