The following is a backup of a note I originally posted a few days ago. It was originally removed by a family member (to not utterly freak out other friends and family). Its import, however, leads me to repost it. Formatting has been removed as a result of information degradation, but the text is otherwise the same. (Several links originally went to a video of Neil DeGrasse Tyson's keynote speech at TAM 6, previous allegations against Michael Shermer, and awful things said by the user "gwern" on the #lesswrong FreeNode IRC channel)
The following note may possess several triggering statements, including rape, suicide, and awkward heartfelt personal confessions.
Also, this is a bona-fide public accusation, for all of those keeping track of these things and may think it is some sort of conspiracy.
My first impression of Michael Shermer was that he was charismatic. I saw him at TAM 6, (the same one that had an awesome talk by Neil DeGrasse Tyson), and he gave an amazing lecture on something. I don't actually quite remember what, but it was captivating enough that I immediately went out and bought The Mind of the Market.
And it was thought-provoking. Rarely have I seen such a smartly-written treatise on something political that wasn't inherently tribalist or outright obnoxious. He had honest suggestions on doing good things.
Of course, if you've been following the skeptic blogosphere, you are probably aware that Michael Shermer is a rapist.
Note the lack of elaborate conditionals there. This is because 1) the prior probabilities are not in his favor, and 2) I am fairly certain that Michael Shermer had nonconsensual sex with me. I don't really wish to elaborate on the details (I am already feeling pretty sick writing this, and yet again, the evidence wouldn't be enough), but I can confirm it involved the tactics already stated.
I didn't do anything about it, and I feel quite horrible for that.
Why? Because there are literal lives at stake. Jenny McCarthy is getting a spot on network television where she can cause harm on a level beyond any of the people involved, people are stoned for being witches, doctors in Britain can treat you with taxpayer-fucking-subsidized water instead of medicine, etc. You probably all know this.
So what was one rape compared to the possibility of the collapse of one of the few organized movements fighting for the sake of epistemological correctness?
But then, there was more sexual abuse. And the leadership proved utterly incompetent at actually doing its job.
As far as I can recall, TAM 6 or 7 was the peak of attendance for the events. This is roughly 2008-2009. A lot of people have been blaming the whole "Atheism Plus" crowd for "splintering" the skeptic movement, but the seeds were planted far earlier.
My hypothesis is that the movement was riding on the surge of anti-George W. Bush sentiment, and when that popped, in parallel with the housing market, a common enemy vanished. This wouldn't be a problem if we had, say, effectively communicated the difference between epistemic and normative claims, but now we are left with the mess that we are in today, with the perception of the difference between believing something to be true, having a certain political opinion and being or not being a horrible rape-monster are blurred.
We have on one end, the insufferable P.Z. Meyers proclaiming the movement to be inseparable from the One True Form of blogosphere- consensus leftism (though I can't stay too mad at an evo-devo guy; they're too awesome), and Rebecca Watson receiving death threats because she briefly communicated her discomfort at getting hit on at three in the morning.
On the other end, we have a nightmarish conclave of misogynists and the old guard, one thinking itself entitled to sexual favors and the other finding it merely impossible to imagine a world where people aren't raped. They might actually even do good, but every action they make is tainted by the specter of possible ulterior motives. Nobody can take evo-psych seriously, even though it is obviously true if one posits a materialistic universe, simply because half the population fears (rightfully) that it will be exploited to justify reactionary "biotruths" (again, the argument from nature remains A Thing; what the hell have you been doing all this time?).
On a completely different end, we have some people who just might be on to something approaching good methodology, if it weren't for the fact that they are a transphobia tolerating cult… I'm sorry, "phyg", that is probably going on a fool's errand to build a "friendly" AI despite their utter inability to figure out what value system to use. Also, they apparently don't understand why saying that their organization generates the most utility-per-dollar might just offend the guy who went on a half-decade long sabbatical to advocate for asylum seekers in Australia.
So, can you solve this mess? Probably not. Even if you make one big happy family "again", I'm betting it's far too late for you to become powerful enough to mitigate a serious existential risk. My bets (in order of most likely to least): nuclear war, resource depletion, pandemic, Accelerando-style econopocalypse, grey goo (or perhaps more likely, its macroscopic equivalent), runaway environmental catastrophe.
In any case, I won't be around to watch the results.
Do I have any regrets? Sure.
I won't get to see the conclusion of a bunch of things. I invested so much damn time in Homestuck, too! Well, the internet zeitgeist is probably correct about it going nowhere.
I won't ever finish my Apocalypse World hack for the contest on Something Awful. It seems silly, but I've always been trying to find a way to express myself and my experiences.
I won't get to play in Thomas' awesome Hong Kong monster hunters game.
I didn't ever have a sexual experience with another person that wasn't being raped. (By the way, I'm bi. Sorry for coming out so late, but… it would have just been sort of awkward.)
I didn't get around to creating anything of artistic significance.
I mostly lost contact with one of the few social networks that I had.
I never really got on even footing with my dad, nor did I get my life organized.
But that's all in the past. My stomach quivers now in disgust. It reminds me of the concept of etor as expressed in the Iliad as hypothesized by Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Is it the horrible situation that everything is in, or is it some instinctual reaction to the prospect of killing myself? I don't know.
I guess what's left are the goodbyes.
The players of 'A Matter of Prestige' and 'Infinite Worlds: Infinite Affairs': I apologize for the abrupt end. Thank you for playing.
#bop/NationSim people: Alpha Centauri died and some others were snuffed out, but I had a lot of fun doing them. Give Brissot a fitting end, if the new FranceSim ever picks back up.
Retribution Games and co.: May the world once again be up for grabs in internet Risk. Have a reasonable tech pace next time!
eccotheraven and the rest of the SA Mafia community: Sorry for being bad at mafia. Don't blame yourselves for this; this is completely unrelated.
The rest of the goons: You've definitely changed my life for the better. Thank you for the memories.
Kristine: GMOs are actually good for you. If it gets too crazy, run!
Brandon & everyone from the old merkey.net community: You really helped me get through some crappy times. If there's anyone here who has the chance to save the world, it's probably you. Keep up the good work, and think big.
Anthony: Use that charisma of yours for the power of good!
Josh: Study the real world; you can count on Thomas not doing so! Also, if you do build a time machine… well, first, contemplate the implications of what is probably a universe where the Church-Turing thesis isn't true, but after that, kill Hitler. Don't listen to all that SF that suggests otherwise; it's all sour grapes. I recommend one of the Nuremberg rallies; you can take out any successors that way too. :)
Elijah: The road you are walking down leads to the Dark Side. Seriously, an MRA Brony with a taste for clopfic? You are becoming the epitome of bad things on the internet!
Evan: Don't be a dick.
Pam: Hang in there; I don't think everyone will be able to take much more after this.
Grandma: Thank you for your wisdom and your kindness. I would not nearly have had as interesting a variety of experiences without you.
Dad: I know that depression is difficult to comprehend; I was in the dark for the first two years or so. You can't really talk someone into suddenly doing something any more than you can get a calculator with faulty wiring to add 2+2 by kicking it. It is often spontaneous, and perhaps that's the worst thing. The situations you put me in were quite emotionally draining.
That being said, I'm sorry I sort of reneged on the apartment pretty soon after the initial investment; I really felt hurt. Take care of everyone, and please try to have a nice life.
Thomas: You actually know how to handle yourself pretty well, so I really only have some advice: try to believe in the goodness of people. I know that it is hard for you to stay in a good mood, but I need you to, for Mom, if not yourself. I don't think I have to tell you to pursue your dreams.
Mom: I'm really, really sorry about this. I am suffering, though.
People may say some very horrible things about me; this is kind of a big deal within the community. Stay strong, and make sure people hear about this.
Thank you for everything.
I love you all.

Traveling? Don't bring bedbugs home
Bloodsuckers that travel to your home via your luggage or clothes can end up costing you plenty. Here's how to keep them at bay.
Yet another thing to worry about when you're planning a trip: Do the hotels on your itinerary have bedbugs, requiring a change of reservation? And, if you don't know for sure, what can you do to keep the tiny bloodsuckers -- the size of an apple seed -- from hitching a ride home with you? Ridding your house of bedbugs is costly.
It's common knowledge that New York City is engaged in an epic battle with bedbugs -- stores have been closed because of infestation -- but how many people realize how widespread they are? A map at The Bedbug Registry will give you an indication.
Plus, a New York City flier (.pdf file) warns, "No hotel is immune from a bedbug infestation." Travelers can unknowingly bring them from home.
Stacey Bradford, who writes about family finances at CBS MoneyWatch, offers detailed instructions on how to keep any bedbugs in the room from infiltrating your stuff. Bradford consulted with entomologist Louis Sorkin, a bedbug specialist.
Here are some brief tips:
- TripAdvisor, The Bedbug Registry and Bedbugger.com can let you know if other travelers have complained. (Bedbugger.com also tells how to say "bedbug" in 30 languages.)
- Look for bedbugs, blood spots, eggs and waste in the seams of the mattress and at the base of other furniture. If you find them, the hotel should at least offer you a different room.
- DO NOT let your bags touch the bed or the floor. Keep them in the bathtub. And leave your clothing in the suitcase.
- Store dirty laundry in a sealed plastic bag.
- Wash your clothes as soon as you get home. Heat kills these pests, Bradford said, so a hot dryer setting is best if possible. Dry cleaning also works.
What to do if bedbugs travel home with you? (You'll know from the itchy red spots caused by the nocturnal bites when they feed on your blood. Luckily the bites don't spread disease.) A bedbug infestation is not for do-it-yourselfers. Only an experienced professional should handle this job. It's pricey -- $500 a room is not unusual -- and insurance won't pick up the tab.
We wish we could say we were making this up, but it's serious, and bedbugs aren't the only threat. A friend of ours once got scabies from a hotel room.
- Bing: How to prevent scabies
In fact, an old ABC News article about hotel room cleanliness (or lack thereof -- the content of the story is gross) is still worth a read. Long story short: Remove the bedspread and use sanitizing wipes on commonly handled objects. And, we'd add, don't walk barefoot in your room.
Have you ever dealt with a bedbug infestation? If so, feel free to share your experience.

PLAYERS: Marshall Morgan, Collin Barber
TEAMS: Georgia Bulldogs
TEAMS: Georgia Bulldogs
Though I am still basking in the glow of Georgia's 48-3 rout of Vanderbilt last night, I would be remiss if I didn't mention what appears to be a recurring issue in the kicking game—the PAT's. Last night, true freshman Marshall Morgan missed one extra point due to a bad snap and nearly flubbed another one later in the game—that one was saved by a good bounce off the goal post. Now, I'm not one to rain on the Bulldogs' win parade, but it's mishaps like those two last night (mishaps that were witnessed against Buffalo and Mizzou as well) that can sometimes lead to a game being lost or won by one; and with Tennessee next week and South Carolina looming large in the week that follows, you really like to see a bit more consistency in that area. That said, you have to commend the true freshmen—both Marshall Morgan and Collin Barber—for doing so well under the lights. Marshall, in particular, impressed me on the road against Mizzou where he booted a 52-yarder; he showed a lot of poise. And...

Guestbook comments from the manager
The condo is huge, so plenty of room. It has 2 TV viewing areas, which can be a plus. A large kitchen and fridge for those who may want to cook some while here. It is also a short walk to the village and it's restuarants. Our unit was about 100 yards to the slope to ski out, but you could ski in right to it from the slopes.
We enjoyed our stay at Beaverhead very much and the service provided by the management co were top notch.

I still think they should have just revamped the Tree skins like the bear and cat forms. you know there are MANY colored trees in game already... I WOULD LOVE TO have a snow tree like in Nexus. The idea of taking a form away from druids over all seems silly... i mean the ability to shape shift is why most people play druids anyway, right?
could you picture druid tanks with a Bear cool down instead of a form...
and on the movement being lower in the Tree Form, i mean tree cool down... didn't that already fail once early BC... and that one was only 20% reduced when it failed.
Crossing fingers for a glyph that lets me keep tree form! LOL
I still believe that this is an intended nerf to healing druids in the arena due to their amazing survivability making them difficult opponents to quickly remove. The addition of a snare, loss of it's armor coupled with a cooldown effectively remove healing druids from arena competition.
Other than the snare, I can't see how they will be affected one way or the other in PvE.

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a four-year deal with first-round draft pick Kendall Wright.
A person familiar with the deal says it's worth $8.2 million, with a signing bonus of $4.47 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms had not been announced.
A wide receiver out of Baylor, Wright is expected to play a big role in the Tennessee offense.
Starting receiver Kenny Britt is on the physically unable to perform list with knee problems and also may be facing discipline from the league regarding a DUI arrest in Kentucky earlier this month.
Wright starred at Baylor as the primary target for Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, and was the 20th pick overall in the draft.

For 25—count 'em!—years, we've celebrated the most creative wedding ideas in food, flowers, decor, music and more. As a fresh year stretches before us, it's out with the old and in with the new, so if you're ringing in the New Year with sparkle on your finger, we'll continue to keep you on top of the trends with our annual coast-to coast survey of what's hot in weddings. It's going to be a stellar year to get married!

2013 is putting on the glitz! "It's a move towards sophistication," says Alyssa Brown of Alison Events in San Francisco, the planners behind Seth Rogen's recent nuptials. "For example, we're planning an outdoor event right now, but there's crystal on the table, and gold silverware and chargers," Alyssa explains. "And black tie is playing a huge role right now. It's full-length gowns for everybody!"
Tara Guérard of Soirée in Charleston agrees. She looks for modern ways to interpret the classic feel, like cream suede table linens edged with pink welting. "The welting gives a tailored look and makes the table skirt flow out like a ballgown. And the suede just feels ultra luxurious."
The palette that pairs with the new formal wedding? Neutral, neutral, neutral. "I see grey and taupe with pops of black," says Alyssa. Tara predicts that layers of blush will be big.

Candles always have a major presence at weddings, but this year, look for them in showstopping chandeliers. "I like to incorporate chandeliers into my wedding design, especially in tents," says Ivy Robinson of Ivy Robinson Weddings and Events in Charlotte, North Carolina.

An eclectic approach is taking hold, too, combining natural, outdoorsy details with elegant elements. "I'm currently working on a party where we are using grey leather lounge furniture, tree stumps as coffee tables and antler chandeliers over the tables," says Ivy.
2013 weddings may be ultra-elegant, but they won't get too serious. A trend Alyssa sees going strong is the playful photo booth. "We'll either bring in a booth or have the photographer set up a backdrop. One look we like is different patterned fabrics."
Low-slung couches are still in the picture, but 2013 will see more inventive furniture. "For one wedding, we're having swings in the lounge area to replace where a typical chair would go," says Ivy.
The wild-card trend of the year? Camping, says Alyssa. It started with Matthew McConaughey's star-studded wedding, and now brides are loving the idea of a grown-up summer camp—hence the new term, "glamping." Imagine ultra-luxe safari-style tents with heat, electricity and high-end linens. If the idea of overnight guests doesn't work for you, some brides are using the tents as part of the reception. "You can have a tent with books and bourbon," suggests Alyssa. "Or a kids' tent."

Actually there ARE some Fosaken paladins, as seen in the ICC raid. Sure, it would be weird lore-like, but not imposibble. Also, it is known that blood knights aren't technically paladins either (Blodd elf "paladins") As far as I can remember, blood knights force the light to work with them, instead of just drawing the power from it. In-game, it would be unfitting to see such race/class combinations, but lore-like it makes perfect sense. Even in the RPG of WoW, you can be whatever, alabait of a good backstory. It is not the usual role of such race (say a Troll paladin) but it could be possible, just not so that can be implemented in-game.

Here are my thoughts on Dwane Casey's contract extension, Michael Carter Williams as rookie of the year, Mark Jackson's firing in Golden State, RC Buford as executive of the year and Kevin Durant as most valuable player.
1. Dwane Casey contract extension: Makes complete sense to me. Stability in leadership positions in any organization is vital to success and the fact that you know what the vision/direction of the Raptors will be for the foreseeable future, that's a positive. He earned that extension with a solid approach the past three years. The building process of creep-crawl-walk-run is in the walk stage right now and that's a solid development. Lots and lots of work ahead to get it to the run stage but usually an important part of that vital next step beyond better players is having consistency and shared vision at the top to see the job through. The right decision was made. A good day for not only Dwane Casey but for Raptors fans.
2. Michael Carter Williams (76ers): Rookie of the Year choice was a no-brainer. He's actually a better pro than what I saw from him in college at Syracuse. Wonderful all-round talent that impacts the game on so many fronts. If they can add a solid supporting cast around him, he's got a chance to be one of the elite lead guards in the league for a long time. A real positive amidst a season of frustration in Philly.
3. Mark Jackson (Warriors): Can't say I'm surprised by this move. With two assistant coaches being let go during the regular season and the constant rumors, you knew that something behind the scenes had run amiss in the Bay Area. He did a good job in his run there and in my opinion, deserves and will get another crack at it at some point, possibly quite soon. Opens up a very attractive job. If I'm in their shoes, the guy I go get is Stan Van Gundy. He did a terrific job in both Miami and Orlando as a head coach and, after taking two years off, you'd be getting an energized guy with big time leadership and head coaching experience. Lots of talent and money invested there so go get a guy that can help you see full return on your investment.
4. RC Buford (Spurs): The model franchise. Partnership, leadership, basketball savvy and smarts all in effect in major doses. Behind the scenes, Buford sets the tone for the positive direction for this organization. No panic, always the big picture in mind and a terrific feel for the team concept. They do things in a first class fashion and his support of Gregg Popovich in the shadows is impressive. Well earned and well deserved.
5. Kevin Durant (Thunder): If you haven't watched/listened to Durant's MVP acceptance speech, please do so. Wow! I've always been a huge fan of him as a person and player but now I'm head over heels about him. Gotta tell you, he had me crying. What a terrific speech from one of the true genuine guys in sport today. A class act and a true gentleman.

Topic Guides: The Individual in History: Actions and Legacies
Margaret Sanger Papers Project Celebrates National History Day 2009
"I merely want to point out the situtaion I found when I entered the battle. One the one hand, I found the wise men, sages, scientists, discussing birth control among themselves. But their ideas were sterile.... I might have taken up a policy of safety, sanity and conservatism--but would I have got a hearing? And as I became more conscious of the vital importance of the idea, I felt myself in the position of one who has discovered that a house is on fire; and I found that it was up to me to shout out the warning. The tone of the voice may have been indelicate and unladylike...but this very gathering...is ample proof that intelligent and constructive thought has been aroused."
Margaret Sanger, "Hotel Brevoort Speech," January 17, 1916
"I seem to have no life and no history apart from the birth control movement," Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) wrote in 1938 (Margaret Sanger to W.W. Norton, September 21, 1938). This year's theme, "The Individual in History" is a particularly apt one for Margaret Sanger, who during her life and even well afterwards, personified women's struggle for reproductive rights. Her actions, challenging the Comstock Law banning birth control through the mail, lecturing around the nation and the world, opening birth control leagues and clinics, helped change public opinion on birth control, popularizing the notion that men and women should plan their families. Other actions, including her association with eugenicists and her decision to ally with the medical profession, also shaped the reproductive rights movement.
What is Sanger's legacy? How have reproductive rights expanded and developed since her death in 1966? Can you still identify her ideas in the efforts of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America or the International Planned Parenthood Federation, two organizations she helped found.
Founding a Movement
What led Margaret Sanger to found a new movement? Born to a working-class family of eleven children, Sanger found inspiration to help women control their fertility everywhere she looked--from her mother's early death, the plights of the patients she treated as a visiting nurse in New York City, to her own worsening tuberculosis, exacerbated by pregnancy. She also took inspiration from radical and socialist critiques on American society and government. How Sanger convert this hodge-podge of inspirations into a strong and strident call for change? What parts of the movement she inspired remain wedded to Sanger's early ideals, what parts have not been continued?
Sanger and the Medicalization of Birth Control
Margaret Sanger began her crusade for birth control from a perspective of free speech. But after her 1915 trip to birth control clinics in the Netherlands, Sanger realized that she had to involve the medical profession. She worked with physicians to operate clinics in the United States, lobbied for the support of the American Medical Association, and pursued a legislative policy that would have left birth control technically obscene, but allowed medical professionals to prescribe it. There were other options, purused by birth control activist Mary Ware Dennett in the 1920s. Why did Sanger choose this track for birth control and how did it shape the movement?

Margaret Sanger Papers on Microfilm:
The Margaret Sanger Papers Project has compiled a microfilm edition of more than 120,000 documents related to Sanger and the birth control movement. You will need to narrow your search to identify only those that relate most closely to your topic.
The two-series microfilm published by the Sanger Project is organized in chronological order; its reel guide provides access to documents by personal and organizational name. If your topic focuses on a specific person or event, you'll be able to locate relevant documents very quickly.
Sanger's speeches and articles are also available on microfilm. They provide good autobiographical information as well as arguments for birth control. See our list of libraries that hold copies of the microfilm, or you may order one through interlibrary loan. Speeches and articles are located on Library of Congress reels 128-131, Smith College Collection Series reels S70-S73, and Collected Documents Series reel C16.
Sanger's journal The Woman Rebel (1914) and the Birth Control Review (1917-1940) are also available on microfilm. The Woman Rebel is available on the Margaret Sanger Papers Project Microfilm, Collected Documents Series; the Birth Control Review was re-issued by De Capo Press in 1970 and is also available on microfilm as part of Research Publication's History of Women Collection, Reels 14-15.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm sorry, but there are several things here.
1) EA has gone on record to say that if TOR passes the 500k mark, they will be profitable. That's their "desired" mark.
2) Typically games try to make the development cost back from the box cost. Until NPD releases sales numbers, its impossible to know for sure, but the estimates I saw said anywhere from 1.5 to 4 million copies sold. We know that there are 1.5 million subs at the moment, and considering the fact that we're just 5 days in from launch, that's kinda nuts. With 30 days of free play, its very likely the sub count will be much higher. In any event, its very likely that the vast majority of the production cost is already paid for.
3) The profit to revenue ratio is not what you said. It is much much higher with MMOs. It boils down to economies of scale. I have heard people say that WoW enjoys a 50% or so net profit margin. Obviously TOR isn't going to have that, but if its not a large cash cow for EA, I will be shocked.
4) The 30% number is useless. My understanding is these licensing agreements are tiered and can have front payments. There's also likely incentives as well. BK is used to making failing Star Wars games, not successful ones. Given Bioware's success with KOTOR, I would be surprised if the agreement wasn't more friendly towards Bioware.
5) I don't see TOR in much danger. Even if EA only retains 40% of the current subs they'll still exceed their own internal expectations. They may take a hit from Wall Street, but that's not as simple as ATVI, as EA is more divested. Its likely the NBA lockout will hurt them more than if TOR were to only hit 600k subs. However, I predict that by the 1 year mark, you will see TOR at between 3-4 million active subs.
6) On the other hand I do see Blizzard in some danger. The annual pass does give them some security, but come October of next year, that will evaporate. Either MoP will have to be amazing, and more so than TOR, or 2012 could be a bad year for ATVI.

What we like best:
What you should know:
Give your child a head start to academic success with Tracing ABC, an app that makes perfect penmanship attainable for the littlest learners. Combining engaging "shooting star" animation with simple templates and a friendly child narrator, this app makes the boring task of tracing come alive and appeal to the preschool and kindergarten sets.
In easy mode, budding writers work through collections of upper- and lowercase letters, tracing each (with the help of guiding rainbow stars) in alphabetical order. Once each letter is complete, children are cheered on and the letter recognition and sound skills are reinforced with a corresponding word and image—for example, an alligator after the letter A. Once little learners have mastered simple tracing, it's on to hard mode, where they're challenged to be more precise with their writing. A chalk outline helps parents and teachers see how accurate a child's tracing skills are.
Alphabet tracing is excellent, but Tracing ABC doesn't stop there—age-appropriate words from a sizable list, numbers and shapes can also be worked on with the virtual blackboard. Bilingual learners also have the option of practicing their Spanish! Numbers, shapes, letters, lively animations and a kid-friendly interface make this app an entertaining, educational option any kid will love.

to violence is associated with children's development of various
problems, including substance use. Children and youth exposed to
violence may use alcohol or drugs as a way to cope. Unless underlying
causes such as child abuse and neglect, community violence, and
exposure to domestic violence are addressed, it may be difficult
for them to stop using alcohol or drugs. The substance abuse prevention
field plays an important role in identifying children and youth's
exposure to violence and incorporating appropriate prevention strategies
and services.
Professionals in the field often work on a variety of issues in addition to substance abuse and would benefit from deepening their understanding about the impact of children's exposure to violence in their work."

Bob Saget
Spotlight show • If all you know about Bob Saget is the painfully earnest father on "Full House" and the chronically unfunny host of "America's Funniest Home Videos," you haven't kept up with the 55-year-old. Saget was a revelation to many in the cult film "The Aristocrats" and on Comedy Central's roasts when he was shown as a filthy comic. In a Tribune interview, Saget said what he finds funny is "silly, irreverent" material that can make some people uncomfortable. "My act is like throwing a surfboard and going out there," he said. Many Utahns remember him when he hosted several nights of the medals ceremonies at the 2002 Winter Olympics. The only reason he kept it clean then was that "I don't curse when kids are around." (We should check with the Olsen twins about that one.) He's now preparing his next comedy special, which he will record later this year. His material isn't as dirty as you might think. He claims his act would be classified as a "soft R," and he's not a "gross-out person." "I want every show to be memorable."

Life Fitness expands to meet needs
The center, at 2222 Middle Road, recently underwent a $900,000 expansion and renovation. ``There were times when there wasn't enough room to accommodate members,'' Steve Grimes, Bettendorf parks and recreation director, said. ``This allowed us to grow in numbers and serve the entire family.''
Rita VanWetzinga, recreation manager for the fitness center, said they added an additional gym to make three basketball courts, and extended the track and put in an additional weight room. Other changes included a new cardio room with 28 pieces of equipment, a new nursery, remodeled locker rooms and a new set of restrooms.
The Life Fitness Center has 2,100 memberships, which may be held by families, couples or single people, according to Ms. VanWetzinga.
Bettendorf residents are charged a yearly fee of $140 dollars, while non-residents are charged $185. Additional fees are charged for aerobic classes and tennis courts.
The city bought the former tennis club in 1983, and a steering committee was formed to turn it into a fitness center for the community.
``It was seen as a very smart purchase,'' Ms. VanWetzinga said. ``Because it is in the center of the community, close to the Middle pool and in the main thoroughfare, the city decided that it had definite possibilities as a main attraction for residents of not only Bettendorf, but the Quad-Cities as a whole.''
Before that, the city's community center was used for various activities, including an adult volleyball program, Ms. VanWetzinga said. Many children's activities took place in the Middle School gym.
``So many activities were being hosted there that the schedule would fill up and there wouldn't be any other time slots to reserve,'' she said.
Over the years, as the demands and needs of the community increased, it became evident a new site was needed. So when the tennis club became available, the city council bought it, Ms. VanWetzinga said.
Although the Middle School gym still is used, and drop-in fitness hours for jogging and weight-lifting still are held there on Wednesday nights, the Life Fitness Center now hosts most of the activities.
For additional information on the Life Fitness Center, call 344-4119.

Developing general web frameworks and frameworkless web applications is
difficult because lots of different ways to connect to web servers need to
be implemented. Since Ruby is popular for writing web applications, we try
to address this problem by proposing a lightweight abstraction mapping HTTP
requests onto a simple Ruby API. This makes it possible to combine all
kinds of web servers with different web applications without further
change. Furthermore, our solution enables new functionality by combining
and composing web applications, as well as better testability. Talk given

Hey. I'm Robin Fray. I'm 24, the 2nd oldest besides Ellie. I'm in law school right now. Not to be a lawyer though. I'm studying to be a supreme court judge. I think it would be fun, also I would be making a difference. So, yeah that's my life right now. I'm taken by my Steven and our baby marcus. Sorry boys.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This pretty toe up socks has a stitch pattern which incorporates twisted stitches and yarn over which look like cloisters with a little heart pattern created from the yarn overs at their peaks. I chose a grey yarn which reminded me of stone work and was in my stash, however any semi solid/ solid good 4ply sock yarn would look lovely in this pattern.
Although available in just one size, the stitch pattern is fairly stretchy and will easily fit a larger foot. This can also be achieved by using thicker yarn/bigger needles.
Skills needed: Following charted lace patterns although written instruction are also provided, working in the round, working twisted stitches, short row shaping using the wrap and turn (w&t) method.
Yarn requirements: Any 100g (459yds/420m) sock yarn you wish to use, however I would suggest a semi solid or solid yarn as anything with too much variation and you will loose the pattern.
32 stitches to 48 rows using 2.25mm over 4"/10cm in stocking stitch, worked in the round.
I'm a beginner UK designer, who has been knitting since 2009. I'm completely addicted! I really enjoy designing, and hope you enjoy the finished product ;)
My first design was the Aislinn Hat. For one of my oldest friends Aislinn, and its her favourite hat!

Why You Can't Just Snap Out of Your Depression

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My "unnamed sources" (aka me) says this has to drop 1st quarter to mid year 2010. No way do I see it being over two years between expansions especially as they have repeatedly said they don't want that to happen (and presumably fixed their task scheduling to avoid another Sunwell). And as they are putting in only five levels and re-using a lot of content I don't see how it could happen.
My theory is Ony will land just before the fifth anniversary and hand out welfare epics like a pinanta drops candy so everyone is geared for IC (fine with me, only way half the people in my guild will get geared). IC will land soon after and after three - four months we will have Cataclysm.
I also think that even allowing IC to have its full run may not be needed. With only going to 85 I am suspicious they won't add in a "super heroic" IC and have us spending the early part of the expansion still killing Arthas. That and a few new Ony style bosses will do until they finish the real raid content.

write on paper and burn it :P
You can always tell me if you want ^_^ <3
We all have secrets we keep from others. Secrets we can't tell others for fear of what they night think or say. The fact is you want someone to know your secret otherwise you wouldn't be mentioning it here. Just know that a true friend will stand by you through thick and thin. Will not scoff at you or ridicule you for what you like. If you can't have faith and trust in your best friend then who can you trust.
I understand that's why I post on here just to get stuff off my chest!
I have a feeling its the same dark secret that i carry with my german shepard,

Re: Things you want Maria to achieve/do in 2013.
1. Stay healthy and no injuries all year.
2. Win a slam (2 would be even better!). I really want her to defend her RG and win Wimbledon again, as she said it would be her main goal next year so she'll train hard in grass I hope, or she can pull a 07 AO final - 08 AO win.
3. Get to QF or better at all slams.
4. Win HC titles, preferably Miami or Beijing because she never won there).
5. Have a positive H2H against Vika next year.
6. Add Li, Petra, Caro and Angie to her punchbag list. Wish she could meet them more often.
7. Have a winning record in finals.
8. Keep the 3-set record perfect all year.
9. Beat Serena once, or at least take a set off her.
10. End year No.1.
11. Dress and make up younger, stop being Martha.

fix me Father.
I want to hold you in my bones
I don't get it anymore.
I'm tired.
It's cold.
And I miss you.
there's a crack in the tiles.
they thought it was history.
it was your history
with an internal discord
a mad madness, described
(prescribed) and so treated,
so well contained for such a searching,
ingracious generation.
what a wasteland, our inheritance.
you and I.
what an earth we've gained.
an eternity of indifference,
and the most enthused of apathies,
and all our cobwebs are tossed in the wash together,
but they only bleed and come out tangled.
we're a nation of unnecessity,
safely strained to find security.
we laugh at nothing, because there's
nothing at which to laugh.
maybe you're wild-haired and hopeful. but hope's left me.
or I can't really remember its last name.
last known name
by the skin
in the interwoveninterlocking
of existential moaning (we humans, it's our
blood type) we call truth.
You don't fool me (I can onlybarely
fool myself, but
then again.
What? do I know?)
Known is
is not is
Relatively so.
Why should I care?
That doesn't Truth.
Tell me? Please?
Why do my friends suffer?
Is it gravity that makes it so hard to?
Stay. Please.
The moon's been red(itfrightensme)
How do you manage it?
How do you lift your head?
How do you beam with a glow,
Emanating from all these mirrors.
Might I be a mirror too,
And might I be a unique one?
Might I be a cracked one
To display the facets of your face
At which you never really dared to look?
I don't know if I always want to be a mirror,
But though rose-colored glasses are impractical,
Soot covered lenses are useless.
All this dirt hurts.
I don't know where all this
dust comes from but it
catches in all my webs
and trembling, creeping
slivening into my deep.
I don't know where all this
Mud comes from but it's
washing through my tears
clogging my arteries and
covering my face.
All this earth is swallowing me
Where did the rains go?
I've forgotten what clean air tastes like.
Your photograph is smeared,
And the glass is broken,
And I can't remember how I got here.
An observer
An observation of the infinity of
regret seeing not touching
hearing with the tip of the tongue
slathered in a paste of sweet cynicism sweet forboding
I'm an observer - the ladies aren't so sweet nor the men so gentle, with their fitted ties and laces. Time -
I guess
I'm an escapist
but that wasn't supposed
to happen I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm so sorry
every thing tastes so bitter and
sour sweetly
mocking - despairing
I wanted - I lost
I wanted too much with too little
I thought and thought
and then I died a little.
I once knew a boy who wanted a
draft, but there was no war.
The peace was maddening.
There were not pipes or trumpets to blow.
So it goes.
But he had the nightmares of a soldier and a horn under his arm and a banner over his head
that fell across his shoulders.
I'll be a free one.
You can carve an "x" in my chest with your head tilted Westward and your left hand just so.
So it goes.
But I'll be a free one.
I hope you'll be one too.
With feathers in your own color and a banner over your head with a pipe and a trumpet to proclaim your victories.
I'll write poems that scream
and words that are just slightly slanted.
But I won't do nothing.
Hell no.
I'll blow my own trumpet and I'll be a free one.
But my feathers. They all fell off
when you died in me.

This I could watch all day
During Game 3 of the 1994 Western Conference Semi-Finals, Mario Elie had some quiet words with Danny Ainge following a shooting foul. Ainge said nothing at the time, but responded late in the game by throwing the ball at Elie's head. Footage of this verbal and physical exchange is on loop at the Basketball Hall of Fame, Springfield MA.

Contingent Information Systems Development
Slooten van, Kees and Schoonhoven, Bram (1996) Contingent Information Systems Development. Journal of Systems and Software, 33 (11). pp. 1-9. ISSN 0164-1212
|Situated approaches based on project contingencies are becoming more and more an important research topic for information systems development organizations. The Information Services Organization, which was investigated, has recognized that it should tune its systems development approaches to the specific situation. A model has been developed, dealing with the matching between prevailing contingency factors and the preconditions of already existing situated approaches. Furthermore, a generic process model for systems development, including the information systems operations stage, is proposed. This model makes it possible to derive from it specific systems development strategies. A number of basic development strategies, specific for the Information Services Organization, are described. Preconditions, specific for this organization, are added to the standard situated approaches.

Lil Wayne believes the posthumous Aaliyah album that Drake is producing is "an awesome collaboration".
The controversial record has angered some fans and close friends of the late singer, who believe Missy Elliot and Timberland should have been involved in the project from the start.
However, Lil Wayne is positive about the future release, saying: "Everybody knows what Aaliyah did and done for music and culture, period. And it's always good to do that, not only for people like that, just for her fans, you know what I mean?"
He added: "Drake's a very thoughtful person. Everyone knows that. It's an awesome collaboration."
"Her music is still awesome. It's still better than a lot of music out right now."
It is reported that Missy and Timberland will now be involved with the album in some way.
