Chapter 92 Reviews
Does Brandt want Mikey dead?
On the fifth or sixth turn, I saw one, approaching in the distance. Even in the afternoon gloom and at this distance, its 'for hire' sign was clearly visible. I waved my arms vigorously to flag it down; there was no question that he wouldn't see me. As the driver pulled up along side me and lowered the window, I leaned down.
"I've got to get to the Sinah Heath Hospital, but I've only got twenty dollars."
The driver merely laughed at me as he raised the window.
"Please!" I yelled as he turned back to the wheel and indicated to head back into the traffic. I slammed a fist on the roof of his cab as he pulled out once more. "Heartless bastard!" I screamed as I watched him drive away.
I didn't where I was or how I would get there, but I knew I had to and soon. He could be there at the hospital, right now, killing my brother. The thought made me feel sick.
"Is there a problem?"
The voice startled me and turning, I saw a tall, broad police officer. Behind him, a second remained in their patrol car watching.
"I… no… yes." Yes, sometimes I impress even myself.
His eyes narrowed and he glanced back to his partner in the car who nodded his reply.
"You're Gerard Way," he stated. "We've been looking for you."
"Why?" I asked, dreading the reply.
I must have sounded crazy, and judging by the expression on his face, that was exactly what he thought.
"You don't know?"
I didn't know how to reply. My last memories were of a murder. What could I say? I was hardly going to tell them that! As it turned out, silence worked just as well.
"Are you alright?" he asked me with a mixture of puzzlement and concern in his tone.
"Look, I don't have any money or a phone or anything and I have to get to the hospital. I need to see Mikey, check he's okay."
My explanation was pretty vague but it was enough to get a response.
"He's far from okay," the officer scowled. "He's a nutcase!"
I was hurt by the words and I showed it.
"He's still my brother!" I snapped.
"Sure," he nodded contritely. "Okay, get in, we'll take you. But after you've seen him, we'll want to speak to you about where you've been. You do know you were reported missing don't you?"
I nodded. For all I knew, he thought I was as crazy as believed Mikey was. I knew I was certainly giving that impression. It was strange though, the guys in the bar and now the police officer – they treated me as if I was innocent, but I remembered the murders. Was Mikey innocent because I killed them? It was clear to me that my memory hadn't fully returned, but the part that had was screaming to me and I wasn't about to refuse his offer.
I couldn't believe it – I was being driven to the hospital in a police car! The irony was not lost on me. What do I mean? You'll see. Anyway, needless to say I wasted no time getting out of the car as it pulled up at the hospital. Pushing the door open even before it had come to a halt, I gave the briefest word of thanks before rushing into the building. Taking the stairs I ran up, taking two at a time, my earlier tiredness forgotten in my keenness to get to Mikey. As I arrived at the Nurses' Station on the fourth floor I waited impatiently for the duty nurse to finish a telephone conversation with what appeared to be a patient's relative.
Turning my head, I saw Bob stepping out of the elevator.
"Oh, hey, Bob," I waved briefly before turning back to the duty nurse as she put the phone down. "I need to see Mikey."
"Gee!" Bob pulled my arm. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I replied dismissively as the nurse retrieved the key to Mikey's room from a locked cabinet.
Bob spun me around and grabbed my arms dragging me over to the wall with me protesting all the way.
"Don't 'I'm fine' me! You've been gone for nearly a week!" Lowering his voice, he continued. "You told Frank that Brandt had you; that we had to find a way to get Mikey out of here. We're getting a plan together and suddenly you're here. No word, no explanation. What's going on?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" I snapped finally shaking him off.
"Well where have you been?"
"I haven't been anywhere! What's the matter with you?"
"If you're going to argue," the duty nurse cut in, "can you please leave the premises?"
I turned; frustrated to be delayed.
"We're not going to argue," I insisted. "I just want to see Mikey."
My shoulders sagged as I saw the two police officers approaching, already half way down the corridor.
"Talk to them!" I pushed Bob's shoulder so that he would at least turn to see them.
By the time Bob had turned back, I was gone, several yards away, following the duty nurse.
I sighed heavily – not again! This time it was Ray emerging from the men's room. I didn't have time to stop. My one single priority was to get to Mikey's room and nothing and no one was going to prevent that. My easiest option, I decided, was to simply ignore him. Almost immediately, I heard footsteps behind me.
"Something's wrong!" I heard Bob shout. "Stop him!"
Snatching the key from the duty nurse, I pushed her forcefully to the floor at Ray's feet. It was enough of a distraction to hold him up and I was running the final few yards to room 409. Suddenly the corridor was filled with noise – footsteps, shouts and, of course, it wouldn't have been complete without the wailing alarm system usually indicating a breakout. But of course, this wasn't a breakout, it was a break in. I turned the key in the lock, slipped in and had closed and locked the door again in plenty of time. I grinned at Ray through the glass in the small eye-level window in the door; I turned the key in my fingers tantalizingly. Slipping the key into my pocket, I turned. Just as I was told he would be, he was just lying there, fastened securely to the bed by the restraints.
"Gee?" He looked up at me. "Thank God you're here! They wouldn't let me speak to anyone else and I've started to remember everything! It was Doctor Brandt, but no one believes me! You believe me, don't you?"
His voice tapered off. He knew. He knew I knew. It wasn't worth going through the charade any more.
"Did you really think I wouldn't notice?" I asked.
"Notice what?" he asked apparently confused.
"He is my brother you know."
"Gee?" He shook his head and his eyes widened. "It's me, Mikey!"
"I'm not fooled that easily. Oh, you're good, I'll give you that, but you can't fool me."
I could see the panic on his face.
"Gee… It's me!" I watched as he strained on the straps; he had not expected this.
Beyond the room I could still here the alarm and the commotion as they tried to locate the second key. Of course, I knew it had already been removed; he told me that. His information was reliable, he had been right about this impostor. Did he really think I wouldn't recognise my own brother?
"Brandt said you would be here," I nodded. "I'll admit, you look like him, you do, but he warned me you would. And you do sound like him too."
I was starting to get a little twitchy. Something felt wrong and I couldn't work out what. He told me not to think about it for too long. I don't know why. But I had already taken longer than I was supposed to. I edged forward then took a step back. Uncertain.
"Please!" he begged. "I'll prove it's me! Ask me anything! Something only Mikey would know!"
I shook my head and stepped forward determinedly and pulled the pillow out from under his head.
"You're just stalling!" I growled. "Hoping they'll get in and rescue you. There is no rescue for you."
"What's he done to you?!" he cried in panic.
There was no more time to talk, I heard a key in the lock and I pushed the pillow down over his face as hard as I could.

The Gender Knot
Please note that the third edition of The Gender Knot (new cover on left) will be published on September 19, 2014. The information below applies to the current edition. For more on the new edition, click here.
"The Gender Knot, Allan G. Johnson's response to the pain and confusion that men and women experience by living with gender inequality, explains what patriarchy is and isn't, how it works, and what gets in the way of understanding and doing something about it. Johnson's simple yet powerful approach avoids the paralyzing trap of guilt, blame, anger, and defensive denial that often result from conversations about gender. He shows how we all participate in an oppressive system we didn't create and how each of us can contribute towards its dissolution. He argues persuasively that something much better is possible and that our individual choices matter more than we can ever know." (Amazon.com)
For excerpts from the Preface and Chapter 1 (first edition) click here. For a second excerpt – "Manhood and War" – click here.
To purchase The Gender Knot:
The Gender Knot: Unraveling Our Patriarchal Legacy, revised and updated edition, is available online at Amazon (including a Kindle edition) or Barnes & Noble or through your local bookstore. Instructors wanting to order an exam copy for their courses should click here.
The Gender Knot is on Facebook.
Praise for The Gender Knot:
As any knitter will tell you, the way to untangle a knot is not to pull hard on one end, but to gently shake the entire skein until all the threads are loosened. In this book, Allan Johnson gently and patiently shakes the patriarchal knot until each of the constituent threads becomes analytically clear. In doing so, he gives men a way to be part of unraveling that oppressive knot, rather than simply tugging defensively on their end." Michael Kimmel, author of Manhood in America: A Cultural History
Allan Johnson has written one of the best, most readable, and most comprehensive accounts of patriarchy that is available in print, and this revised edition makes this important book even more useful and relevant." Paula Rothenberg, editor, Race, Class, and Gender in the United States
Johnson's book is beautifully written and thoughtful, and provides compelling analyses of patriarchy and the powerful ideology that supports it and inhibits change. It is a guidebook for a life-changing adventure." Rebecca Bach, Contemporary Sociology
The Gender Knot is a unique book that fills a void in the literature on gender. Highly accessible and a pleasure to read, Johnson never oversimplifies complex issues. His engaging style will appeal to a wide audience." Abby L. Ferber, Gender and Society
This is a brilliant accounting of patriarchy. . . a long, hard and unflinchingly honest look at how patriarchy works. . . . It should be read by any woman or man who wants to get a clearer picture of how patriarchy works." Off Our Backs
At last a man who got it right . . . . he creates a unique political context in which women and men can have feminist conversations . . . . and brings a freshness to . . . feminism that encourages us and gives us hope." Selma Miriam, Bloodroot Feminist Bookstore
Finally, the keys to a lasting, genuine gender peace! The Gender Knot is an eloquent, readable, and optimistic work that . . . gives practical pointers on how both men and women can work for gender justice . . . . without playing blame games. . . . It is also a profoundly personal work, for Johnson openly shares his experiences as a husband, father, son, brother, colleague, and friend. The Gender Knot derives much of its power from the smooth interweaving of Johnson's sociological analysis with candid accounts of his struggles as a man in patriarchal society." Joanne Callahan, Customer Comment, Amazon.com
An excellent gift for anyone who 'just doesn't get it' about feminism." Arnold Kahn in Psychology of Women Quarterly
This is a remarkable piece of work that . . . . will allow men both to accept responsibility for change and not be crushed by it or so discouraged as not even to begin." Nicholas Ayo, University of Notre Dame
This is a good book. Why is it good? It's well written, well argued, and nails all the key issues right on the head. It's the best book I've seen in this genre." Michael Schwalbe, author of Unlocking the Iron Cage: The Men's Movement, Gender Politics, and American Culture
. . . a good introduction for women as well as men, but most importantly, it is from a man who can clearly explain to men what's happening and what they can do to change it." Feminist Bookstore News
A lovingly written work that enlightens both women and men on the effects of patriarchy. I encourage all of my clients to read it." Carol F. Caputo, MACP
This book can be especially recommended to male students as an exemplary model of plainspoken and conscientious writing about male supremacy that is neither naive nor navel-gazing and that takes feminist theory and analysis absolutely seriously. This honorable book promises to be around a long time. The Gender Knot belongs on the reading list of every course in sexual politics that encourages students to engage patriarchy meaningfully." John Stoltenberg, Men and Masculinities

"I'm only 32, so I never thought of myself as a candidate for, until I heard about some of the services at Acqua Blu Medical Spa. The staff understood that I was not ready for a drastic change, and recommended I speak with a medical esthetician about some skin care products. Lisa sat with me for about 45 minutes. I couldn't believe how knowledgeable she was about my skin and the affects of aging on the skin's growth cycle. She recommended some products, and also gave me lots of advice on how to care for my skin. The best part was she did not pressure me to buy tons of products like they do at department stores, and she did not try to up sell me on expensive treatments. I loved it."
"There are few words that can express how grateful I am for all that you have done for me. From my consultation, to surgery, and every follow-up visit so far, you've made me feel a way I had not felt in a long time—good about myself.
I feel I owe you all so much. You've lifted my spirits and my self-image along with everything else. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. *, you are truly an artist. I can't thank you enough."
"Premier Plastic Surgery and Dermatology "I've been meaning to write and thank-you for your excellent care for some time.
From my consultation where you spent time ensuring all my questions were answered, through the surgery, to my follow-up appointments, all of you have shown a great attention to detail, a heartfelt level of caring for my well-being, and the highest quality of doctor-patient relationship that I have ever experienced or could expect.
My new tummy and breasts looks better than before I had my children. I appreciate all that you've done and will recommend you to any moms considering cosmetic surgery."
"I want to express to you how delighted I am with the results of my surgery. You are a very gifted surgeon and I am so fortunate that my friend recommended you to me. And your staff is marvelous--from my first contact where Holly gave me directions, to meeting with Dana who was so helpful and empathetic--to my consultation with you, to the entire surgical -- what pleasant and caring people you all are! Surgery is never fun, but you all made it a good experience. I am forever thankful."
"I couldn't have imagined a better experience than the one I had with you. After spending almost 2 years contemplating breast augmentation, I'm so glad I chose Premier. You and your caring staff provided me all the information and support I needed!
I was very nervous about surgery, but I didn't need to be. I felt completely safe and taken care of. I awoke feeling just fine. The healing process has been amazingly easy for me. Perhaps I'm just lucky, but I'm inclined to think it's because I was in such good hands.
My new breasts look and feel completely real, and I could not be happier! Not only are you an incredible surgeon, but an amazing artist as well. Thank you for brightening my life!"
"Premier Plastic Surgery and Dermatology "I was nervous to try Botox. At my age, my lines and wrinkles are still quite fine so I was unsure that Botox would make a difference in my appearance. But, I am so glad I tried it. The needle was tiny and the whole process only took about 15 minutes. Within a few days, my forehead felt tighter, and the fine lines I had developed were dramatically minimized. My eyebrows also appeared raised and more arched. My friends and family have commented that I look more rested and refreshed. I will definitely continue my treatments with Premier Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. The results far exceeded my expectations."
"I wanted to take a minute to thank you and your staff for the wonderful treatment that I received before, during and after my liposuction procedure. Everyone there was very helpful and Sarah and Dana in particular were extremely attentive to my needs. Dr. Kunkle and nurse Helene and others on your operating room staff made sure that my recovery went smoothly. I am so happy with the outcome of my surgery. I couldn't have asked for anything more. You are an extremely talented surgeon. Thank you for all for your passion and compassion."
"I had the CoolSculpting procedure on my bra fat about 2 months ago. I was always so self conscious about the lumps on my back and wearing fitted shirt always seemed to make the fat rolls even more noticeable. The procedure was painless – a little tender but it wasn't that bad. I had little if any recovery time. Overall I am very satisfied with the results and I plan on getting my stomach done in a few months. The procedure took a while to see the results but it was worth it."
"Believe it or not I am writing to you from West Palm Beach. This is the first time my stomach has seen the sun in over 10 years. When my gynecologist sent me to your office, he told me you were the best with tummy tucks. When you told me that I would be able to wear a bikini, I thought you were kidding. Now I am a 35-year-old "sexy mama" with a flat stomach and I am wearing a beautiful bikini. All thanks to you. Show this picture to your other patients. They need to know that you are the best."
"Premier Plastic Surgery and Dermatology "I have not healed yet but already I feel completely changed! The breast reduction has made me feel a new confidence and my shoulders feel very light.... like a weight has been lifted.
I thank you and your wonderful staff. It's been a satisfying experience. See you soon for my follow up visit and then next year for my face lift.
Your lifelong patient and biggest fan,"
"You have done a fantastic job on my face, neck and abdomen. Words can't express my thanks for having the intuition, skill and caring to give me exactly the results that I dreamed of.
I did not expect the attentiveness and high level of quality follow up that I received and still continue to receive.
any thanks for your skill that has given me pleasure and enriched self-confidence. I am lucky to have found such a dynamic surgeon and compassionate staff."
"A little card like this doesn't seem like enough but I just wanted to thank you all for your extreme compassion throughout my entire surgery process. This was such a big decision to make. But you and your staff have been so generous and thoughtful, working through the difficulty of me living so far away. Finding your "home-like" practice was such a blessing, allowing me such comfort, privacy and security.
I'm so excited for the next few months as the results become more and more visible!"
"I love the results of my CoolSculpting procedure. I am so glad I did the procedure on two areas. It's nice that this is a non-invasive treatment since I didn't have the recovery time for something like liposuction. I am only 45 years old and definitely done having children so I wanted to get my baby back after my third child. I now am starting to a more definition in my upper and lower abdominals. Even though the stretch marks are still there, I am thrilled! I am more motivated now to get back to working out. Thank you Dr. Heil for offering this cool treatment in your spa."
"Because of CoolSculpting, I have successfully been able to achieve a more balanced body. I was always so embarrassed of my "muffin top!" In just a few months, I have gotten rid of my most problematic area on my body. I diet and exercise, but never had improvement. Thank you CoolSculpting and Acqua Blu Medical Spa. I love my new look."
"Premier Plastic Surgery and Dermatology "As you know, the decision to elect cosmetic surgery was a difficult one for me from the beginning. I worried about the perceived vanity issues, the financial aspect, the surgery itself and the possibility that the results would not be significant enough to justify the investment of time, money and physical discomfort. The consultations I'd had with several other surgeons had done nothing to lessen my apprehension and I was beginning to reconsider my decision. When I met with you, I was feeling more confident but it still took me several weeks to decide to schedule my surgery. I am thankful I did. Now, several weeks later, my results are wonderful. My stomach looks like it did before I had my babies. Thank you for all you have done."
"It has been only 3 weeks since my eyelid surgery and I have been sharing the whole experience with all of my co-workers. People are constantly coming by my cubicle because the results are so amazing. I am very pleased with the results and have been having fun sharing my story.
Every day when I look in the mirror I am delighted the bags under my eyes are gone. I finally look more rested and youthful again. It was the best thing I ever did for myself and choosing Dr. Heil* and his team is the reason why."
"I wanted a doctor who would listen to me and answer all of my questions and I had a lot of questions. I needed the best and found Dr. Heil*. The results of my facelift gave me a natural youthful appearance without having an "operated" look."
"I had my CoolSculpting treatment at Acqua Blu Medical Spa in Wexford almost 3 weeks ago and it was the definitely the right decision. I am already seeing the results, and I was told by Cory that I would continue to see results throughout this process. I drove home wearing my jeans after my procedure and I was very comfortable. It has been a really easy recovery. Some minor itching a swelling which he told me I should expect. I am so pleased with the results from my CoolSculpting treatment and the high level of care of received. I would recommend Acqua Blu."
"Premier Plastic Surgery and Dermatology "My son was suffering from gynecomastia for 5 years. He was constantly teased by his classmates about his breasts. We could not imagine how bad it was. We even had to change schools because of that. Dr. Heil* thank you for understanding our son's problem right away. We spent over an hour in your office talking about surgery. It has been 3 months after his surgery and it is going great. Thanks a lot for all confidence you have given our son."
-Lou Ann & Chris
"Thank you for making my surgery such a smooth experience. I am delighted with result. Please convey my appreciation to Dr. Kunkle, your anesthesiologist. I had 4 surgeries in the past and always had some nausea. My anesthesia experience with your office was the best ever."
"I just wanted to thank you for giving me those "ripped abs" I've been working so hard at the gym for. I just couldn't get that last bit worked off and with the ab etching liposuction you did (coupled with my hard workouts and disciplined diet) I was able to achieve what I didn't think possible."

Today I managed to secure a deal with my book binders for something just a bit awesome! My Signature Album has long been a major part of the Core Package, and my amazing couples (they really are) have been treated to these luxury and incredible value books for the last couple of years. It's kind of been our little secret.
The 'Fusion' Range is the result of countless tryouts and tests to get the process just right so that the balance of modern quality and technology can sit comfortably with tactile materials and traditional skilled craftsmanship. A hand made and personal finish. The result is a truly beautiful, refined and minimalist product range that is completely unique. You can't get these albums anywhere else.
And I can't wait to show them to you.

Beyond the Numbers
The Hardest Ask
November 4, 2013
People often discuss the hardest things in life to ask for – and recently, I've heard the same two answers: money and help. While I agree, from my vantage point, the hardest ask is for someone's time.
I have been reminded of this in recent weeks as we planned ParenteBeard's Corporate Governance and Audit Committee Forum. This year, we built a dynamic panel of speakers – a real "wow!" – with former FBI Director, Louis Freeh, serving as our Keynote Speaker. Other contributors include Jeanette Franzel, Board Member of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; Lon Greenberg, Chairman of UGI; Eileen McDonnell, CEO of Penn Mutual Life; Robert Schimek, CEO of the Americas for AIG Property Casualty; Tom Smith, Vice President of Corporate Audit at Campbell Soup Company and Alan Stone, Practice Group Leader of Litigation & Arbitration Group with Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.
In securing this panel of speakers, the final "ask" for many of them was on me. And when you ask someone to give their time, you immediately feel a different sense of responsibility. You want the experience to be worth their time. You want to be sure that it's a "wow" for them too. You realize that you are asking for something that there's just too little of for all of us these days.
I feel fortunate that all of those we asked to participate in our Forum saw the value of this event and graciously agreed to share their time and expertise. But it isn't lost on me that there might have been other "asks" of them for that afternoon. I am deeply grateful but I am also relieved that I don't have to make this "ask" again until 2014!
What asks do you struggle with? What have been your experiences in asking for a person's time or perhaps, in being asked to give of your time?
Thanks for stopping by.
10 Responses to The Hardest Ask
In my experience, the most important part of asking for someone's time is that you show your appreciation for their time. My most recent experience with this was at a volunteer event that I help run at a local camp. I asked 9 people to volunteer their time to help winterize the camp. After the event, I made sure to sent everyone a handwritten thank you card. This was a very important part of asking for their time. I have received a lot of positive feedback from these cards. One volunteer was frustrated about the event being a little disorganized and might not have been willing to come back again if he did not receive the thank you card. Another volunteer already committed to coming back to help in the spring. I think that the value of a handwritten thank you card is something that not many people think about until they receive one.
My team and (Learning and Development and Talent Acquisition) are in the business of asking people for their time. Time away from client work but time well spent whether it being to help us identify the future talent of the firm or to help develop our staff/team members through Learning and Development Activities. We would like to thank all of them for agreeing to give us their time and want them to know how appreciative we are.
It's very difficult to ask for someone's time when you can tell they are having a bad, or "off" day. It's equally difficult to ask for someone's time if they seem bothered, or less-enthusiastic, to assist you. I do my best to remember that when I'm asked for help.
In some cultures, there is less thanking practiced and expected than in the American culture. But in those cultures there is sometimes an alternative way of expressing appreciation, namely what the Chinese call "guanxi" – I did this for you and I don't expect thanks, but I do expect to be able to ask you for the same. Some European countries seem to be on the spectrum between the two extreme cultures.

Sometimes, those amounts can vary depending on the reason for the split: Did you catch your partner with his hand in the till? Or is there another reason (less ominous) for your split?
Best to speak to your accountant and a business attorney to determine whats fair to split and how you may be able to pay it over time.

This was a delicious dish. I couldn't find green tomato, so I used a plum tomato. It was very tasty; the fish was seasoned perfectly and the mango salsa was superb. I will definitely make this again!

How to Green Your Dog's Waste
If you have a dog, you've probably thought about the environmental impacts of owning a pet, especially when it comes to their ahem, waste. I thought I was doing ok by using biodegradable bags and tossing them in the trash, but now I'm not so sure. Fortunately, there is more than one option for disposal and choosing the right one depends largely on where you live. Find out more after the jump!
Here's the first rule: pick up after your dog. The bacteria found in dog poop can cause water quality issues as waste is carried by rainwater to storm drains and then into local rivers, streams, etc.
Ok, so now that we know to pick it up, what's the greenest way to dispose of it? Reading up on the subject proves that it really depends on where you live and who you ask. Below are four different options and include the pros and cons of each.
1 Trash it - throwing away dog waste is the easiest thing to do and sending it to the landfill keeps it from contaminating water supplies. With biodegradable bags that are ubiquitous these days, this might seem like a good choice, but unless the conditions at the landfill are just right, the bags won't have what they need to decompose. (Dog waste in landfills is also a problem as it releases methane into the atmosphere.)
2 Flush it - some would argue that flushing feces is your best bet, but it's not always practical to bring the waste home with you and of course there's the "eww" factor. Additionally, while some municipalities give flushing the green light, others warn that it could put a burden on the waste stream and that "flushable" disposal bags have been known to cause problems in the system. Check with your city to see what they recommend.
3 Compost it - this is probably not the first option people think of, but dog waste can be composted. There are a number of products made specifically for this purpose and a DIY solution would not be hard to make. Just keep in mind that compost made from feces should not be used in or around edible gardens. (For a how-to on dog waste composting, check out this link from the USDA.) Also, look for disposal bags that are listed as compostable and not just biodegradable.
4 Bury it - if you have a yard and don't live next to a stream or other body of water, this seems to be one of the best options. In-ground digester systems act like mini septic tanks - the waste is collected in an underground container and non-toxic enzymes and water are added periodically to break down the waste. These products claim to work in all soil types with the exception of clay. (We've had one for several years that we use for backyard waste and it has worked great.)
What method have you found to work best?

8 Comments
I'd love to hear more about the In-ground digester systems. What happens in the winter when there is snow on the ground? Do you have to be concerned about gravel in it (my dog yard has some gravel in it).
I made my own dog waste composter a few years ago - works great!
I followed this one:
Here are a few pics from my blog!
As far as snow/winter.... I live where it is frozen all winter, so the poop pretty much stays frozen in the yard until the thaw, and I fill the compost bucket up! Eeep!
It is illegal to leave dog waste anywhere, even in your own yard. Most of my neighbors use our lawn as the dog's toilet, sadly. Dog owners need to follow the laws so they don't contaminate the groundwater, no matter if they're near a stream or not.
Any ideas for greening cat waste? I'm already using wheat litter...
I ditto Stiletto's question. My cats, who adopted me and were already doing so, go primarily outside. I never see it so I assume they're burying it or otherwise hiding it. I do have a box for them though. What is the best method for green cat boxes? Should I be worried that I let them go outside? Would it even be possible to stop it at this point?
@Emmi Whether or not it is "illegal" depends on where you live. Please be careful spreading this type of information. I obviously pick up after my dog in all public areas, and generally pick up our backyard every few weeks. However, it is certainly not illegal to leave in my backyard.
@ hnthomps thanks.

From Manuscript to Publication : A Brief Guide for Economists
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to give a short description of the nature of books and journals, their respective editors, and the difficult process and proprieties involved in publishing papers. It describes some of the main features of the publication process, so that readers may be in a better position to make judgements about published work and writers may be, to some extent at least, prepared to face the difficulties that inevitably lie in their path. Emphasis is given to the need to deal with rejections and the often substantial revisions requested by editors. While some of the features of publishing are common to all disciplines, this paper is specifically intended for economists.

The relative volatility of commodity prices : a reappraisal
AbstractThis paper studies the volatility of commodity prices on the basis of a large dataset of monthly prices observed in international trade data from the United States over the period 2002 to 2011. The conventional wisdom in academia and policy circles is that primary commodity prices are more volatile than those of manufactured products, although most of the existing evidence does not actually attempt to measure the volatility of prices of individual goods or commodities. The literature tends to focus on trends in the evolution and volatility of ratios of price indexes composed of multiple commodities and products. This approach can be misleading. Indeed, the evidence presented in this paper suggests that on average prices of individual primary commodities are less volatile than those of individual manufactured goods. However, the challenges of managing terms of trade volatility in developing countries with concentrated export baskets remain.

Dumbo the rat has not been herself just lately. It's difficult for me to simply put this down to age, because on the surface she is exactly the same as usual — fat, fluffy and cuddly. She is still eating and drinking, cleaning herself and generally acting like a rat, but this past week she has very suddenly stopped being affectionate altogether.
Ask anybody who has met little Dumbo, and they will tell you she is notorious for licking anyone and everyone, even when she's just passing them by, clambering over shoulders or wandering around by their feet.
In addition to that, she is bruxing far more frequently than usual — she pretty much does it constantly now! She is also always the first rat to the cage door in search of love, attention and treats before she refuses to go back in.
Apparently, not anymore. As of last Monday, my rat Dumbo hasn't been her usual, affectionate and sociable self. She is no longer interested in jumping up to the door to get out despite being completely capable of managing to. For her age, she is still a very spritely rat.
I was concerned she was ill, but aside from her very unusual personality change, nothing is different. My other rat, Mouse, hasn't changed. This is a positive sign, but it doesn't offer me any clues into why Dumbo's behavior has suddenly and dramatically changed.
I am aware that some rats, like most creatures, can suffer from senility, but without more research into the subject I couldn't say for certain. I'm reluctant to attach this label to her anyway, because the change was so incredibly sudden.
Either way, I will keep everyone posted about her during the coming weeks and will pray she gets back to normal soon. It's almost like having a completely different rat and though I will love her regardless, I don't want to let go of the silly, bubbly furball she was only a week ago.

It will be Murphy's first time hosting the awards ceremony. The 'Shrek' star, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for 'Dreamgirls,' said of his selection, "I am enormously honored to join the great list of past Academy Award hosts from Hope and Carson to Crystal, Martin and Goldberg, among others."
'Rush Hour' director Ratner said that "Eddie is a comedic genius, one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever. With his love of movies, history of crafting unforgettable characters and his iconic performances -- especially on stage -- I know he will bring excitement, spontaneity and tremendous heart to the show Don and I want to produce in February."
Mischer added that "Eddie is a truly ground-breaking performer, whose amazingly diverse array of roles has won him a devoted audience of all ages. His quick wit and charisma will serve him very well as Oscar host."
Many observers had speculated that producers would head back to reliable territory with their choice of hosts, and 'The New York Daily News' reports that comic powerhouses Jerry Seinfeld and Billy Crystal both lobbied hard for the job. However, Ratner -- who directed Murphy in the upcoming crime caper 'Tower Heist' -- is saidto have had only Murphy's name on his wishlist.
But will Murphy be a loose cannon? Back in the day he was renowned for cursing and using profanities in his live act so there could be a good chance that he'll sprinkle the ceremony with a few f-bombs.
The powers behind the Oscars ceremony are hoping that a standout performance from Murphy will help erase the memories of last year's disastrous foray into trying to court the youth demographic. James Franco and Anne Hathaway's awkward, "edgy" stint as co-hosts last year was widely derided by critics and viewers.
Murphy's also got to be hoping that doing well at the Oscars will help rehabilitate his career, which has had numerous peaks and troughs over the last 30 years. For every '48 Hours' or 'Eddie Murphy Delirious' there's been a 'Pluto Nash' or 'Meet Dave' waiting in the wings.
Murphy said he's "looking forward to working with Brett and Don on creating a show that is enjoyable for both the fans at home and for the audience at the Kodak Theatre as we all come together to celebrate and recognize the great film contributions and collaborations from the past year."
'The 84th Annual Academy Awards' will take place at the Kodak theatre in LA on 26 February 2012.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin's Oneida Indian tribe will have a new leader come July.
Incumbent tribal chairman Edward Delgado was defeated over the weekend in a primary election.
Two others were nominated for the chair's post -- Greg Matson with 343 votes, and Cristina Danforth with 324. They'll square off in a general election on July 12th.
The primary had seven candidates for the top spot. Preliminary results showed Delgado with 147.
Earlier this year, Delgado won a tribal court battle against those who wanted him removed from office.
A tribal appellate court said there were not sufficient grounds for a removal.

A true epic film in every way.Natasha Rostova
was Tolstoy's ideal woman and watching Ludmilla
act the part makes it believable.
— Chopin,Robert, Daly City,Ca.
November 9th, 20087:54 am
this is an ethereal adaptation of both an esoteric and literary creation and exceeds that achievement is many perspectives .
lumdmila as natasha is spellbinding and the ballroom waltz sequence where she has her first encounter with the prince is an epitome of innovative genius .
so are the battle sequences and the occupation of moscow by the french .
for any one who likes cinema this is a quintessential masterpiece with astounding character details ,flawless visuals and an amazing affect which brings the aspirations of a whole era and generation to a truly ephemeral perspective .
the quest for perfection is rewarded here just as it is speculated by tolstoy in his great book .
the musical score reaches celestial heights and is a wonder to hear just like the visuals delight the eye .
this movie deserves more praise then words can suffice to describe its meritorious awards .
this is stunning in both detail ,intelligence and craftman ship and would have drawn applause from tolstoy himself for being the etarnally definitive cinematic version of his complex and intricate prose .

dude what up with the dick nipples lol jk but i like her body and the nice blue outline
Rated 5 / 5 stars Feb 22, 2011
love the blue and her body. I love the way you draw the female body. Its something about the anatomy thats not really right but theres nothing wrong with it.
As for the dick nipples, love how floppy they seem to be.
And to everyone that votes 0 and gives it 0 stars, fuck your opinions and beliefs. Rate as a reviewer and give it your artistic opinion instead of a moral opinion. If you cant do that, just look and leave.
Thank you. I'm glad someone can take a joke and be mature about it. This was meant to be a shock piece, so I exaggerated her proportions (and made her waist overly skinny like in most cartoons these days).
Rated 0 / 5 stars Feb 20, 2011
just to wrong for any stars and as ubernate said try not to give her dick-nipples
sorry for not giving stars but again....you lost me at the nipples
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars Feb 20, 2011
That's just wrong on so many levels.
So next time, try not to give her dick-nipples

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
Two men were injured after an explosion inside a Madison County business.
A man was working on a maintenance truck with a butane tank on it, around 9:30 p.m. Monday at Rocket City Truck Repair on Export Circle. The butane leaked from the tank, and got to the heater inside the garage.
The worker saw the butane ignite, and ran from the explosion. The garage door was blown off, and hit the man.
Firefighters arrived, and worked to contain the blaze. One firefighter was injured when he was hit with debris. He had eight stitches in his mouth.
The worker suffered a broken jaw, but is expected to recover.

Logitech UE is no stranger to top notch quality. It's a company born out of creating custom fitted headphones for some of the world's biggest musicians. Still don't believe us? Just take a look at some of our recent reviews (here and here).
It's Logitech UE's uncompromising approach to perfection that has resulted in their craftsmanship, as well as their painstaking attention to detail. This philosophy is derived from the idea that music deserves to be heard in all its glory. Case in point: one night, in 1914, British soldiers suddenly siezed fire upon hearing the enemy sing a familiar song. Our point? If music can stop a battle, albeit for one night, then it deserves to be heard using the very best in equipment. That equipment? Logitech UE.
We've covered many of them. These includes the UE Boombox that connects with almost any device with Bluetooth, has a built-in handle, and a 6 hour battery life; the UE Smart Radio that connects to your home's WiFi signal providing access to a host of music apps (Pandora, etc) and thousands of Internet radio stations that can be accessed via your smartphone; and the UE 9000 headphones, which sport Bluetooth and noise canceling tech to keep the outside noise out and the blissful tunes in.
Logitech UE's new line of products are available now at a variety of major retailers, as well as online.

Hi guys whats going on 8)
I am a slightly too pervy and opinionated hetalia fandom person I guess. Forever full of ideas and headcanons but not really managing to get them down in art and writing as often as I would prefer.
I'm a swede (well, a mix between geat and swede really to be more precise) with a dash of scottish on my fathers side. Originally from Göteborg, now living in Stockholm.
I am a diehard regionalist and considers regionalism the only thing truly natural in my own and other nordic countries.
A fair warning if you consider following me: im not for everyone. Expect bad humour, various NSFW stuff (PENIS >8U) and creepy drunk posts. I also absolutely adore Hetalias take on the nordics, especially Danmark. To put it bluntly; i'm pretty darn obsessed with him.
Oh and in case you wondered; the music playlist I threw up here is some mixed favourites from my collection of nordic folk and viking metal. Njoy!
At least that's how it is for me.
Painfully true.

It doesn't look like Maria is enjoying that big black cock. What did she expect from a site called My Wife's First Monsters Cock.
These guys pride themselves in taking horny house wives and fucking them good and hard with their massive cocks. After a scene at MyWifesFirstMonstersCock.com there is no way any of these ladies will ever have a tight pussy.
It makes we wonder what man in his right mind would want to have his wife on My Wifes First Monster Cock. It is not like these wives are crack heads, they are some hot ladies. Just take a look at the free scenes and you decide.
Then if you like what you see get your membership to My Wifes First Monster Cock. Its only a 85 cents a day.

Both these pedals are jam packed with hundreds of effects and amp and cabinet modulations, and come complete with a built in tuner and drum machine. The only difference between the two is that the Element XP comes with an expression pedal and four additional expression-based effects.
The Zoom G5 builds on the success of its predecessor, the G3, to offer an unparalleled array of effects, amp models and cool additional features like a built-in looper. It's also fairly cheap, so it's an endearing prospect for those new to the world of multi-effects and people looking to upgrade their old units. In essence, it provides 297 different pedalboards in one solid unit – enough for a different effects setup for every single song in your setlist with hundreds of slots to spare.
The POD HD500 is Line 6's new favorite toy. The unit packs in all of the features from the 300 and 400 models, as well as boosting the storage space and the potential for hands-free control. It increases the number of simultaneous effects you're permitted to include, and removes the irritating limitations that prevented you from mixing effects however you like on the 300 and 400.

The GT-10 is a legendary beast. Boss has a reputation of producing top-quality effects units, and the GT-100 is their new go-to-guy. It's an updated version of the GT-10, and aims to become the new king of multi-effects. From a purely financial perspective, putting out a new effects pedal regularly makes a lot of sense. People are reminded of the things they love about their favourite pedals and eagerly order the new unit for even the most trivial of upgrades.
As multi-effects units get more and more powerful, behemoth devices like the Line 6 M13 offer 109 different stompboxes with 15 footswitches to operate them. The only problems with the M13 (in a practical, real-world sense) are the cost and the mammoth size, so Line 6 released the M9, a smaller version of the same unit. They've crammed the same 109 effects into it and it still has a fairly formidable seven foot-switches on board, and its reduced price-tag makes it more appealing to less serious players.
The Line 6 M13 is the monolithic, monster sibling of the more compact M9 and M5 units. It's packed with an almost excessive fifteen footswitches, four LCD display screens and 24 dials, but it's a true beast at fifteen inches wide, almost a foot deep and ten pounds in weight.
Digitech's RP-500 is the second-largest member of the RP series, making it a definite option for players looking for something to use as a gigging companion. Digitech's smaller units generally fall a little short of being up to the task, but they get pretty much everything else right. The extra size looks set to be the RP-500's savior, allowing it to offer everything on the smaller units with the added bonus of genuine hands-free capabilities. But does it deliver?

British survivors of January 2013's terrorist attack on a gas plant in Algeria tell their dramatic and harrowing stories. Thirty-nine people died and dozens of foreign workers were taken hostage after al-Qaida terrorists stormed the sprawling facility in the Sahara desert and the Algerian army responded with overwhelming force.
For the first time, survivors tell the inside story of their miraculous escape playing cat and mouse with their captors, being forced to wear a necklace of explosives and coming under fire from Algerian army helicopter gunships.
BBC Two's award-winning This World strand asks why it was seemingly so easy for the terrorists to enter the plant and why the Algerians reacted in the way they did.

It's amazing how different a lot of the animation feels when viewed on such a different scale. Here our animation supervisor Ross gives feedback on a shot that ultimately didn't make it into the final film.
