NeuroLinguistic Programming and The Four Agreements
by Jan Prince
As a life transitions coach I am always on the outlook for resources to share with my clients. Most recently I became reacquainted with a book I had read years ago: The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz. The book is an easy read (actually I found myself wanting to edit it down) and very approachable.
It's tenant is simple: we live in a dream world created by the rules our society uses to "domesticate" us. We are indoctrinated first by our parents, then educators, then our particular society. That "societal dream world" creates beliefs about ourselves and others that often cause us to feel powerless and unhappy.
Ruiz, a surgeon and Toltec shaman, suggests we can free ourselves of these limitations by adhering to four "agreements":
Be impeccable with your word: Say only what you mean; avoid using the word to speak negatively to yourself or about others; use the power of the word for good.
Don't take anything personally: Be aware that what others do and say is a projection of their own reality, their own belief systems. Even your own thoughts are a result of your conditioning and they must be examined objectively and challenged when they are harmful.
Don't make assumptions: Avoid misunderstandings and problems by asking questions and by expressing what you really want. Don't assume you know what motivates others.
Always do your best: Avoid self-judgment and regret by doing your best and understand that "your best" will change from moment to moment and improve as you evolve.
These agreements have been invaluable to my personal growth and to the lives of my clients.
They are simple yet challenging to live.
NeuroLinguistic Programming has made it easier for me to comprehend and manifest these principles. While the Four Agreements explains what to do, NLP offers the knowledge about how to do it.
The NLP practitioner training I took in Colorado almost 35 years ago, taught me how to identify and change limiting belief systems, how to challenge assumptions (my own and others') using specific questioning techniques, how to manage emotions, and how to create new habits more easily.
These skills not only improved my life, but gave me powerful tools I use to help others as they encounter the obstacles that life presents.
I highly recommend both the book and the NLP training.

Anyway, four of them have played up until now. I was the fifth; the odd man out. Whilst there is a mechanism in the campaign for this, it's less ideal than just having a sixth player. And a couple of weeks ago, we coerced JohnP, who has never played Maurice before, to be that sixth player..
So last night - the fourth round of the campaign - Europe saw six nations vying for supremacy. The players are split into alliances of equal size, and these last for the duration of a war. A war is a series of battles which are fought until one alliance has a particular majority of epic points (the VP in the campaign) over another.
On the one side we had Peter (Austrians), Daniel (Russians) and JohnP (Prussians). On the other was Caesar (French), Gary (Ottomans) and myself (Sweden).
My army is based on an alternate Great Norther War, where Sweden came off better against Russia and remained a major player in the Baltic. They also maintained their highly-motivated, small-army Ga Pa approach to warfare; my army is small and very aggressive, with a roughly equal mix of infantry and cavalry in terms of both numbers and quality.
I drew Daniel as my opponent, so we ended up with a rematch between old foes, on the Russian plains.
Here's my army, deployed to attack the Russian right. With only ten units (plus one of mercenaries), my aim was to strike one portion of his army very hard before he could bring his numbers to bear.
The Russians. A lot of the infantry were conscripts, but there were some guard units in there as well.
Meanwhile the other battles were beginning. Next to our table, Gary's Ottomans were attacking Peter's Austrians. Peter has gone for the bold move of having no national advantages for his army, thus allowing him to spend all of his points on troops.
Elsewhere in the room, Caesar's French were defending against JohnP's Prussians.
Back to my game. I advanced both my infantry and cavalry as rapidly as possible. I decided to push the cavalry around the Russian right flank, which involved negotiating a wood filled with irregulars. Rather than be shot at, I used a Confusion card to draw one of the units out into the open ...
... and then rode it down.
Daniel moved his cavalry over to intercept, and that's where my plan fell apart. His lead unit was elite, and my lead units were elite. Despite my numbers, and Cavaliers national advantage, actually breaking his unit was very hard indeed. It wasn't helped by the fact that the Russians could rally like there was no tomorrow, thanks to one of their national advantages.
I kind of lost the plot at that point and, without really thinking it through, advanced my infantry into musketry range of the Russian line, despite being unsupported and outnumbered at the point of contact. Needless to say the two lead units were cut down, without inflicting any real damage on the enemy.
Eventually I scored a breakthrough with my cavalry, despite having lost one of my elite units. Unfortunately my units were also very shaky, and a charge by the last remaining Russian cavalry unit broke two of them, to give Daniel the game. Trying to push my infantry into a bottle-necked killing-ground was a bad idea, as was using my cavalry in a location where I had no real means of exploiting the advantages I had. Still, I imagine all of my early games will be learning exercise with this army.
In the other battles, JohnP used Prussian discipline to march around the French flank, and mowed them down in droves. Not bad for a first game.
Meanwhile, Gary and Peter bashed away at each other, and burned through all three decks, leaving neither army unbroken at the end of the day. But Gary had captured the objective from the Austrians, to pick up a marginal victory.
The Ottoman win was the only one for our alliance, and saw the their side win the war and gain some extra points. However this also helps me, since lost units are generally replaced by conscripts at the end of a battle, and I had a few. However during the peace, conscript units can be trained up to regulars, which means that my damaged army has a little more backbone in it.
The next set of games - Round 5 - will see a new set of alliances fighting each other, in the Third War of Illawarran Succession.
(Looking through the campaign rules it strikes me that if you're playing a long game, you choose an army with lots of cheap conscript units at the start. Yes, you may lose a few battles early on, but conscripts are replaced at the same grade, and surviving conscripts easily upgrade to regulars, which means that, over time, your army will become worth far more points than it started with.)

I know I do! So, I thought I'd share with you a great site I came across one day a few months ago. That site is This Song is Sick.
I don't remember how I came across this site, but I'm so glad I did! Basically, This Song is Sick was started by a guy named Nick Guarino, who loved music and loved introducing people to new music. He was the guy who always made the best mixed tapes/cd's for his friends and decided to create a website with the hope to expand the world's musical tastes beyond mainstream radio. Enter This Song is Sick.com.
The site showcases underground musicians and their music. It features new artists who are just on the brink of discovery and about to make it big. You wouldn't believe how much music there is out there... freely distributed... and Guarino brings it straight to you via his website.
The majority of the music he features really IS SICK. I've discovered so much music on his site that I immediately fell in love with. And, to make the songs even more enjoyable... I don't have to worry about hearing it played to death on the radio tomorrow. AMEN.
If you get the time, you should really check it out. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on there. And, another added plus, he always links the songs he showcases with free downloads from the artists. Always legal... freely distributed music. It's awesome!
My favorite artist I've come across on Guarino's site is G-Eazy. This guy is aMAZEing and unlike anyone else out right now. You can download his albums straight from g-eazy.com. He even gives you the option to pay whatever you want for them. I paid $20 for each album because I just enjoyed his music THAT much. Oh, and did I mention that he's not too bad to look at either. ;P
(via thissongissick.com)
(via donutsandmilk.com)
G-Eazy has a hip-hop vibe that meets James Dean. He's opened for artists like Lil Wayne, Drake, and Big Sean. He's not your typical white rapper though... so don't be misled. He doesn't try to be gangster. He takes his own style and flavor and puts it into his music. It just so happens to be in the lyrical form of hip-hop. He's been offered to join big name labels in the past but has yet to do so because he refuses to "compromise his sound." I respect the hell outta that! I doubt he will need a big name label to make it big anyway.

Pollution Absorbing Parking Lots at the Olympics & China's Plans for Nanotechnology
Wired Science's blog reports from the Advancing Science, Serving Society (AAAS) meeting in Santa Barbara that China has plans to leapfrog the US in nanotechnology. Research in nanotech is one of the four "science Megaprojects" that China is pushing in hopes of catching US research by 2020. This is to be accomplished through a growing investment budget, coupled with a combination of technology transfer from the West and domestic innovation.
At the meeting, one of the researchers off-handedly mentioned that the Olympic village parking lots in Beijing will have a nanopolymer coating to absorb exhaust. While the exact technology was not explained, it could refer to a pollution absorbing concrete that reduces Nitrogen Oxide emissions by inserting a Titatium dioxide into road pavement and surface coatings.

For Women's suffrage see History of women's suffrage in the United States.
This is a history of the role of women throughout the history of the United States and of feminism in the United States.
The experiences of women during the colonial era varied greatly from colony to colony. In New England, the Puritan settlers brought their strong religious values with them to the New World, which dictated that a woman be subordinate to her husband and dedicate herself to rearing God-fearing children to the best of her ability. In the early Chesapeake colonies, very few women were present. Much of the population consisted of young, single, white indentured servants, and as such the colonies, to a large degree, lacked any social cohesiveness. African women entered the colony as early as 1619, although their status: free, slave or indentured servant remains a historical debate. Hispanic women also emerged in Spanish controlled areas such as New Mexico, California and Arizona. These women were of either Spanish, Indian, African or mixed descent.
Much later on in the colonial experience, as the values of the Enlightenment were imported from Britain, the philosophies of such thinkers as John Locke weakened the view that husbands were natural "rulers" over their wives and replacing it with a (slightly) more liberal conception of marriage. Women also lost most control of their property when marrying. Even single women could not sue anyone or be sued, or make contracts, and divorce was almost impossible until the late Italic texteighteenth century.
The American Revolution had a deep effect on the philosophical underpinnings of American society. One aspect that was drastically changed by the democratic ideals of the Revolution was the roles of women. The idea of republican motherhood was born in this period. The mainstream political philosophy of the day assumed that a republic rested upon the virtue of its citizens. Thus, women had the essential role of instilling their children with values conducive to a healthy republic. During this period, the wife's relationship with her husband also became more liberal, as love and affection instead of obedience and subservience began to characterize the ideal marital relationship. In addition, many women contributed to the war effort through fundraising and running family businesses in the absence of husbands.
Whatever gains they had made, however, women still found themselves subordinated, legally and socially, to their husbands, disenfranchised and with only the role of mother open to them. The desire of women to have a place in the new republic was most famously expressed by Abigail Adams to her husband:
However, The Declaration of Independence still remained androcentric, stating, "all men are created equal".
During the 1830s and 1840s, many of the changes in the status of women that occurred in the post-Revolutionary period– such as the belief in love between spouses and the role of women in the home– continued at an accelerated pace. This was an age of reform movements, in which Americans sought to improve the moral fiber of themselves and of their nation in unprecedented numbers. The wife's role in this process was important because she was seen as the cultivator of morality in her husband and children. Besides domesticity, women were also expected to be pious, pure, and submissive to men. These four components were considered by many at the time to be "the natural state" of womanhood, echoes of this ideology still existing today. The view that the wife should find fulfillment in these values is called the Cult of True Womanhood or the Cult of Domesticity.
Early feminists active in the abolition movement increasingly began to compare women's situation with the plight of African American slaves. This new polemic squarely blamed men for all the restrictions of women's role, and argued that the relationship between the sexes was one-sided, controlling and oppressive.
Most of the early women's advocates were Christians, especially Quakers. It started with Lucretia Mott's effort to join the Quaker abolitionist men in the abolitionist movement. The result was that Quaker women like Lucretia Mott learned how to organize and pull the levers of representative government. Starting in the mid-1830s, they decided to use those skills for women's advocacy. It was those early Quaker women who taught other women their advocacy skills, and for the first time used these skills for women's advocacy. As these new women's advocates began to expand on ideas about men and women, religious beliefs were also used to support them. Sarah Grimké suggested in her Letters on the Equality of the Sexes (1858) that the curse placed upon Eve in the Garden of Eden was God's prophecy of a period of universal oppression of women by men. Early feminists set about compiling lists of examples of women's plight in foreign countries and in ancient times.
At the Seneca Falls convention in 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton modeled her Declaration of Sentiments on the United States Declaration of Independence. Men were said to be in the position of a tyrannical government over women. This separation of the sexes into two warring camps was to become increasingly popular in feminist thought, despite some reform minded men such as William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips who supported the early women's movement.
As the movement broadened to include many women like Susan B. Anthony from the temperance movement, the slavery metaphor was joined by the image of the drunkard husband who batters his wife. Ideas that women were morally superior to men reflected the social attitudes of the day. They also led to the focus on women's suffrage over more practical issues in the latter half of the 19th century. Feminists assumed that once women had the vote, they would have the political will to deal with any other issues.
Woodhull argued in the 1870s that the 14th
amendment to the United States Constitution
already guaranteed equality of voting rights to women. She
anticipated the arguments of the United States Supreme Court a
century later. But there was a strong movement opposed to suffrage,
and it was delayed another 50 years, during which time most of the
practical issues feminists campaigned for, including the 18th
amendment's prohibition on alcohol, had already been won.
Anarcho-communist organizer Emma Goldman theorized and advocated for an integrated philosophy of women's liberation, anti-capitalism and anti-authoritarianism. Aside from advocating free choice in sexual relations, she called for access to birth control. She served as a mentor to Margaret Sanger who went to found the American Birth Control League (which eventually became Planned Parenthood) and become an extremely visible advocate for access to family planning.[1]
Women's suffrage was finally guaranteed by Constitutional Amendment through the 19th Amendment. It was passed by Congressional vote in May and June 1919, and ratified by thirty-six states in a little over a year.
The economic crisis known as the Great Depression (1929-40) saw massive new government intervention into the economy, with striking effects on issues of gender. Among the most important for women were systems of economic guarantees granted to retirees, their wives and children and their widows, through the Social Security Act.
Women played multiple roles on the United States home front during World War II (1941-1945). Sixteen million men served in uniform along with 350,000 women who were WACS, WAVES, SPARS, Marines and nurses. The munitions industries temporarily employed millions of women who had been housewives or students, or (most often) held low-paying service jobs. Rosie the Riveter became an icon of civilian and women's involvement in war.
After the war, women's employment status was not guaranteed, and much of the industrial economy rushed to rehire men. However, in many white collar sectors, such as banking and clerical work, the glass ceiling was moved significantly upward. Both during and after the war, women rarely earned as much in the occupations that became female-dominated (such as cashiers, tellers, and low-level loan officers) as their male colleagues had before.[2] Government investments, such as the GI Bill, fueled suburbanization, and the reuniting of separated spouses fostered the baby boom. With radical political activity suppressed by McCarthyism, consumerism being fostered by the retooling of wartime factories for domestic use, and the nuclear family at one of its historic peaks, women were home bound, as wives and mothers. Eventually a major backlash and reconsideration of women's roles occurred, in Betty Friedan's 1963 exposé The Feminine Mystique, which critiqued contemporary educated American women's socialization and restrictions and judged them to be intolerable.
The Women's Movement of the 1960s and 1970s had its roots in the new opportunities and freedoms for women during World War II. Following war many women who were forced to return to their roles as housewives grew frustrated and suffocated, as the women who began to enter or reenter the workforce grew dissatisfied with their second class status, clearly visible in little to no room for advancement, unequal pay for the same work (fifty-nine cents on a man's dollar), sex-segregated help wanted ads, and the legality of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment, which did not exist as a legal concept at the time. Misogynistic social roles and inequities in education, among other things, fuels women's discontent. As this began to seep into national consciousness, President John F. Kennedy created a President's Commission on the Status of Women in 1961. The Commission report, The American Woman, revealing widespread sex discrimination in American life, was released in 1963, which is widely held as the year the movement began. That year Kennedy signed into law the Equal Pay Act and executive orders ending sex discrimination in the civil service as Gloria Steinem published her article I Was a Playboy Bunny, an inside the scenes look at the treatment of women of Playboy. The movement is usually dated back to February of 1963, when Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique. Friedan's book led to a new consciousness of women's limited roles, and spoke to the discontent of housewives. Meanwhile, Kennedy's commission had established networks of feminist groups that lobbied for legislation for women. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act, originally intended to end discrimination for African Americans, was passed, having been amended to protect women as well, guaranteeing them full equality in the work place (Title VII).
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in charge of the enforcement of Title VII, ignored sex discrimination complaints and it went largely unenforced for the next couple of years. Many women lashed out at the EEOC. In 1966, Congresswoman Martha Griffiths lashed out at the EEOC on the floor of Congress as women grew increasingly fed up. The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded by Betty Friedan and others shortly thereafter. Organized protests began, and the "Women's Liberation Movement" burst onto the national stage. NOW won from President Lyndon Johnson an extension of affirmative action to women in 1967. That year, mass protests, particularly in New York City, led to many states passing laws which forced all "men's only" restaurants, clubs, and organizations to open their doors to women. In 1968, at last, feminists won a huge victory when the EEOC, having finally begun to treat sexual discrimination the same as racial discrimination, ruled illegal help wanted ads which segregated jobs on account of sex, opening many hitherto unattainable jobs to women. The Supreme Court upheld the ruling.
In 1968 NOW's "Bill of Rights for Women" supported abortion rights and the Equal Rights Amendment, which, for some of the early feminists, were too radical. Labor union women publicly resigned in protest at a time when the ERA was something championed by mostly Republicans and was opposed, fiercely, by labor. In the coming years labor would drop all opposition, and the Democratic Party would replace the Republicans as the Party of ERA. Pro-life women also resigned; in 1972 pro-life women organized Feminists for Life to campaign for both feminist issues, like the ERA, and also for legislation opposing abortion. The more conservative women who left NOW formed the Women's Equity Action League (WEAL) and continued to work with NOW on issued such as economic equality.
More radical than the women of NOW and WEAL were younger women, many of whom came to the new Women's Rights Movement from the New Left, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Antiwar Movement. In the summer of 1968 a young radical named Robin Morgan and the group New York Radical Women led hundreds of women to an Atlantic City protest against the Miss America pageant. The generational split and the conservative/moderate/liberal/radical divisions were soon apparent as the Movement began to gather speed. In 1970 the nation was shocked as, on August 26, the 50th anniversary of the Women's Suffrage Amendment's ratification, hundreds of thousands (millions?) of women, nationwide, went on strike in the "Women's Strike for Equality". In New York City, Friedan and the beautiful journalist Gloria Steinem, the Movement's new poster girl, led over 50,000 women in a march for equality.
The election of Richard Nixon in 1968 was opposed by many feminists, however Nixon, after initially ignoring women's rights, lent the feminist movement strong support in the early 1970s. Though he gained the feminists' fury with his veto of the Comprehensive Child Development Bill of 1972 (universal daycare), he strongly supported the Equal Rights Amendment and signed into law the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, helping to end sex discrimination in schools and athletics. Nixon also appointed another presidential commission on women and began to appoint, over the objections of many men in his administration, more women to positions of power.
In 1971 a bipartisan conference of women of diverse ideologies, including Rep. Shirley Chisholm, Rep. Bella Abzug, Friedan, and Gloria Steinem, founded the National Women's Political Caucus. At the founding conference Steinem delivered her famous Address to the Women of America, stating that "This is no simple reform; it really is a revolution". She talked about the goal of a society where there were no roles "other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism". (Steinem herself had considered herself more of a humanist.)
"The personal is political" became the feminist catchphrase, as sexism in socialization, the family, romantic relationships and at the interpersonal level was targeted by many feminists. Anthologies such as Kate Millet's Sexual Politics and Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch were published, and became popular among more radical feminists.
Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments and the Women's Educational Equity Act of 1975 removed great inequalities in education. Title IX opened doors for women athletes, as did Billie Jean King's 1973 Battle of the Sexes tennis victory. Women's sports began to organize and as Title IX was enforced, women athletes became common. Many of the elite men's colleges and universities began to admit women, and women's schools began to admit men. The nation's Military Academies were forced by Congress to admit women.
Feminist activism led to enforcement of the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 aimed to remove remaining inequalities in pay, hiring, and the workplace. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 made illegal discrimination in credit, a major problem for women seeking equality. As above mentioned, segregated newspaper ads were ruled illegal by the EEOC in 1968. In 1978, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act gave expecting mothers job protection. The courts also lent their support in striking down sexist laws. Alimony and divorce laws were equalized. State laws barring women from juries were overturned by the Supreme Court.
Sexual assault and domestic violence became central targets of women's activism. The crime of rape began to assume its contemporary form, sex without consent, both legally and socially. Existing laws were extended to include marital rape (usually, in practice, of wives by husbands, made illegal in every state), and sex when a person is too physically or mentally incapacitated to consent. Susan Brownmiller's Against Our Will examined the history of rape. Feminists, led by Gloria Steinem and her Women's Action Alliance, worked to create domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers non-existent prior to the Women's Movement. Some extremist radical feminists argued that the dominant metaphor describing heterosexual relationships between men and women is itself rape and men raped women physically, economically and spiritually. However, these were a small minority and their views were attacked and criticized by the mainstream of women. Also within such radical extremists were Lesbian separatists, who appealed to lesbian women, advocating the complete independence of women from what was seen as a male-dominated society.
Access to contraception and abortion continued to be major issues for women's rights advocates. The contraceptive pill was approved by the FDA in 1960 for use by married women only. The "age of majority" law was changed from age 21 to 18 in 1972 because of Vietnam; men said if they were old enough to die, then they were old enough to vote. Vietnam therefore had an indirect effect on the availability of the contraceptive pill, as it made it more widely available for younger, non-married women. The first hormonal contraception method, the combined oral contraceptive pill, technologically revolutionized control over reproduction, while laws restricting access to birth control and abortion were rolled back by legislative action and judicial decisions such as Griswold v. Connecticut (contraception, 1965) and Roe v. Wade (abortion, 1973). Following the Griswold ruling that allowed all married persons access to contraception, the Supreme Court ruled in the early 1970s that all unmarried persons were also allowed contraception, under the Constitution's implied right to privacy. Numerous women's health collectives, women-run reproductive health clinics and several clandestine abortion services (most notably Jane, organized by members of the Chicago Women's Liberation Union) were organized prior to these rulings, providing immediate access and increasing pressure for legalization. Women's groups largely supported abortion rights, however there was a significant minority which spoke out in opposition. Feminists for Life was formed by pro-life women in 1972. Alice Paul, leading suffragette, author of the Equal Rights Amendment, and feminist activist until her 1977 death was passionately pro-life, over which she clashed with many of the new feminists.
In 1972 the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution passed Congress. It had been proposed by Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party in the 1923 and reintroduced every Congress thereafter. In the 1950s, Dwight Eisenhower became the first President to explicitly say that he favored the full "equality of women" and also endorsed the ERA. It passed the Senate twice that decade, but in a modified version which rendered it moot, and was unsupported by ERA advocates. After a long ratification effort the ERA expired in 1982, with 35 of the necessary 38 states need to pass it. Efforts to pass the Amendment that has gained 35 states already and to begin anew persist, but have lost much momentum. In 1983, a new ERA was narrowly defeated in Congress (ironically, it would have passed had not come of its co-sponsors switched their votes). By the 1980s the Women's Movement had already largely reformed the laws which made the ERA seem necessary from 1923 to the early 1970s. Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, Democrat from New York, reintroduced the ERA in the House of Representatives in 2009.
Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter all supported the ERA, but in 1980, Ronald Reagan was the first President elected who did not. However, Reagan committed himself to achieving women's equality in other ways (i.e. rewriting specific laws and appointing commissions to make the laws equal and eliminate discrimination). Reagan also set a record in appointed women to high political offices. In 1980s society radical changes were already visible. Unlike before, women were now very visible in law, politics, business, the medical field, finance and other formerly male dominated jobs. Before the movement the equality of the sexes was widely held as a radical concept. It now was considered a basic American ideal.
The popular image of women was now a type of "Superwoman" who could "have it all". In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space. In 1984, Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman nominated for Vice President by a major party (the Democratic Party). That decade, women became Fortune 500 CEOs, presidents, and chairmen for the first time. The media also, beginning in the '70s with shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, portrayed women in powerful, independent, and diverse roles. The role of women would continue to change and advance in the 1990s and the new millennium (see below).
One of the most noticeable changes American women experienced during the 2000s was the increased sexualization of women. This sexualization also extended to teenage girls, and younger.
Feminists such as Ariel Levy contend that Western women have begun to sexually objectify themselves by choice, by wearing increasingly revealing clothing and engaging in lewd behavior. While these women see their own objectification as a form of empowerment, critics of this behavior contend that it has led to greater emphasis on a physical criterion for women's perceived self worth.[1]
Levy discusses this phenomenon in her 2005 book Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture. Levy followed the camera crew from the Girls Gone Wild video series, and argues that contemporary America's sexualized culture not only objectifies women, it encourages women to objectify themselves.[2]
Other books exploring this trend in American (and wider Western culture) include Pamela Paul's Pornified (2005), Carol Platt Liebau's (2007) Prude, Meenakshi Gigi Durham's (2008) The Lolita Effect, and Sarracino & Scott's The Porning of America (2008).
Women's participation in national political life remained low long after the right to vote was gained in 1920. No more than two women served in the Senate at any time until 1994, and fewer than a dozen were Congressional Representatives until 1955. Current representation is 16 senators and 67 representatives, around 15% of the United States Congress. One quarter of women in Congress are people of color, which reflects the American population, but bucks the trend of the Congress.
No woman has been a major party presidential nominee, although several have run for the position of Vice President or sought their party's nomination. (Center for American Women and Politics, Women in Elected Office 2006) Still, the past generation has seen a remarkable shift in American's stated willingness to vote for a woman as president, according to polls more than 80% of Americans would vote for a female candidate. [3]
In 1879, Belva Lockwood became the first woman to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor became the first woman to become a member of the Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the second woman serving on the Court, and Sonia Sotomayor the third. On January 4, 2007 Nancy Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. The 2008 presidential campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton is considered historic as she won an estimated 1,896 delegates for the Democratic Nomination. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin became the first female Republican Vice Presidential Nominee that same year.

The Sept. 22 Westside Pioneer reported on an e-mail from Westside civic leader Dave Hughes criticizing District 3 City Councilmember Lisa Czelatdko and her e-mail responses defending herself.
The end of the article noted that the last of Czelatdko's three e-mails included an offer to meet with Hughes and talk things over, but at press time he had not replied.
Since then, the two have communicated further by e-mail and agreed to get together at the Old Colorado City History Center next week.
District 3, one of four council districts, covers the southwest area including the older Westside. Hughes' concern, as stated in the article, was that Czelatdko, a Cheyenne-area resident elected in April, had shown little or no interest in the Westside. In her responses, she listed several Westside-related issues she has worked on, including historic preservation, No Man's Land and medical marijuana.

There are some amazing science-related images out there on the internet. The most famous and some might say, prestigious, microscopy-oriented competition is the Nikon Small World Competition which has been going since 1974. The subject matter is not limited to biological material – the only stipulation that the image is generated using some form of microscopy (low or high end). The images that get shortlisted every year are simply stunning.
Our very own Paul Appleton (Division of Cell and Developmental Biology) won first prize in 2006 with a beautiful and technically brilliant 2-photon image of mouse colon.

Because the competition is open to a wide range of disciplines across the colleges we have made a decision to offer an alternative to Nature Cell Biology as the 4th Prize – namely a 1 yr subscription to The Lancet.

Appearing on a toilet door near you. OK maybe also the odd pinboard as well. You see it here first. Feel free to downlaod and print and plaster above the microscopes etc.

At last we make a step closer to launch….
Check out the competition website here.
So all that remains is to do is alert everyone in the Colleges to get on their computers, microscopes and get taking and making images!!
That requires mailing lists i.e. the help of the secretaries.
Oh and make some posters ready (design ongoing in the evenings).

Everything cost money. It's a fact of life. So based on the interest generated in previous years we sought corporate sponsorship to cover the prizes, cost of printing and framing, the prize award ceremony, fliers, posters etc etc. Companies once again have been very helpful which means we have enhanced the cash prizes and also have a nice initiative for Ph.D students where the Ph.D student with the best image will be awarded £300 to go towards a conference of their choice (it has to be scientific not a conference on the numbers of grains of sand per cubic cm on an Ibizan beach). It's a great idea because some studentships don't have a lot of travel money.
Invitrogen also have a special promotional code a 30% discount on Alexa Dye based products. So you can use some of their bright shiny dyes for your glorious immunofluorescence images at reduced cost. They also offered to print up T-shirts of the 1st prize image for the winning lab.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
The selected operating system type (set when installing an OS in virt-manager)
should be stored.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install new virtual machine with virt-manager
2. Select OS Windows -> Windows XP
3. Finish installation
Actual results:
No information that this was WinXP included in the XML output in /etc/libvirt/qemu
Expected results:
Additional metadata included in the XML description, to assist in the future
Additional info:
While changing the default or post-installation virtual environment must be
avoided if at all possible, storing the additional metadata may allow defaults
to change differently for different OS types. (And therefore a better upgrade
(eg kvm moving from rtl8139 to e1000 was harmless for linux, but painful on WinXP)
The OS type information is only intended to be used for the initial VM
provisioning step, primarily to assist in handling the install media, and as a
secondary task to help choose some sensible default settings. Post-install,
adminstrators are intended to have full control over all settings without
virt-manager second guessing them. As such OS type is irrelevant post-install -
the administrator should decide what NIC type is relevant for them.
Furthermore, even if we wanted to store OS type we can't because some of the
hypervisors we have to handle do not support such a concept as a persistent setting.

Hello SMClan, I am excited to announce availability of new server dedicated entirely to missions.
"www.PlayNow.gs | missions"
Purpose of this server is to further expand on missions aspect of RVS in particular. To bring actual gameplay as close to hardcore realism as possible. For example random tango patrolling is enabled by default on all maps. Players will be forced to work actual level geometry and not necessarily enemy spawn locations.
Some enemies are also equiped with light or medium armor which unfortunately are not visible in models. Further steps are also taken to reduce availability of real-time information on tactical situation to encourage team communication and planning.
Server currently has 10 maps with Hostage Rescue. There are no plans to include pure Tango Hunt mode into circulation. Work is being done to convert some high quality Tango Hunt maps to accept Hostage Rescue mode. Stay tuned for more announcements.
Server is physically located in Germany/Nuremberg in one of Hetzners data centers to ensure connectivity of highest quality.
Server will be _guaranteed_ to be online for at least next three months from posting this. Very likely to be online for next half a year from posting this.
Hi cxn, welcome to the RVS
Hi cxn, welcome to the RVS community. Your server's added to the serverlist.

Hey everyone,
I had a super busy day today working at the Florida Baptist Children's Home so I am EXHAUSTED. Nevertheless, I still wanted to take a minute to give you a tip concerning your purchases at goodwill, specifically t-shirt and knit top purchases.
As you can see in the photo above, I found this lovely red tank at the GW a few days ago. It wasn't pilled at all and it felt so soft and I loved the color and I loved the cut and then...I inspected the cluster-of-little-bitty-holes area and to my dismay, there were holes. *sigh*
I want to warn you lovely people: always check this area when buying knits! I have no clue how to fix these pesky punctures, but nothing is more maddening buying a GW piece and finding a defect when you go to wear your new outfit. Save yourself the trouble and check the cluster-of-little-bitty-hole prone area before you even try on your find.
Until Next Time,
Happy Bargaining!

Apple TV, Smart Covers, AirPorts & other Apple accessories come to StaplesStaples on Tuesday updated its website to advertise that accessories for Apple products including the Magic Mouse, Time Capsule and EarPods are now available for purchase through the retailer.
An executive with the company first announced earlier this month that the office supply retail chain would begin carrying Apple products. While Staples does not carry any of Apple's primary products, such as iPhones, iPads or Macs, it does offer Apple's most popular first-party accessories.
The products now available at the Staples website are divided into four categories: accessories for iPads, iPhones, Macs and iPods. Also included is the Apple TV set-top box.
The pricing at Staples matches what Apple already charges for its accessories: Smart Covers start at $39, Thunderbolt Cables at $29, and a Lightning to USB cable is $19.
Staples' website now notes that the company is an official Apple Authorized Reseller. But unlike Best Buy, which has mini Apple Stores that sell all products including Macs, or Target, which sells iPads, iPhones and iPods, Staples does not carry Apple's high-end products.
"At Staples, we stock the Apple accessories you need for your iPad, iPod, iPhone and Mac," the website reads. "Whether you need a replacement charger or peripheral, you can find them here."

This story was delivered to BI Intelligence " Payments Briefing" subscribers. To learn more and subscribe, please click here.
At South By Southwest (SXSW), Visa unveiled a proof-of-concept for payment-enabled sunglasses, according to CNBC.
To use them, customers would link payment information to the glasses, presumably through a prepaid product or some type of app or website, and then could simply remove them and tap the side to any NFC-enabled point-of-sale (POS) terminal. The sunglasses aren't currently available to the public — Visa is simply trying to gauge interest and see if brands or banks would be interested in sponsoring such a product — but they could draw more attention to wearable payments as a concept.
Even though they're a gimmick, the sunglasses could be an indicator of where payments are headed.
- Seamless payments are important. Visa noted that the sunglasses fit into the firm's mission of "everywhere you want to be," according to CNBC. That's important, because customers are interested in these types of payments — despite limited market availability, in 2015, 19% of consumers were "very interested" in connected device payments. By embedding payments into everyday devices, the firm could reduce friction and make it easier for consumers to adjust to nontraditional payment mechanisms. We've already seen Visa making considerable investment in the nontraditional payments space, including a recent partnership with IBM for IoT payments. The sunglasses aren't part of that partnership, but could fit into the firm's broader strategy.
- But not all wearables are created equal. Users are testing and experimenting with wearable payments when available — a proprietary line of wearables from UK issuer Barclaycard saw £6.6 million ($8.2 million) in transactions between July and February, and Tractica expects wearable volume to grow up to $501 billion by 2020. But a Barclaycard survey found that UK consumers are most interested in retrofitting existing jewelry and wearables for contactless payments, which means that it could be challenging to sell products explicitly designed for wearable use that customers don't already own or weren't already planning to buy.
The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers payments companies an opportunity to expand beyond mobile phones, cards, and point-of-sale devices, to a broad and diverse ecosystem of internet-connected devices.
We forecast that there will be 24 billion connected devices installed globally by 2020, up from nearly 7 billion today. And over 5 billion will be consumer connected devices by 2020, representing a massive expansion of touchpoints that could eventually offer payments functionality.
BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report that dives into the budding industry of connected device payments, providing a rundown of the stakeholders driving innovation in wearables, connected cars, and connected home devices. It also gauges the impact of new payment devices on different payments companies, along with how these devices could shift consumer purchasing behavior.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:
- The Internet of Things is ushering in a new era for payments companies and manufacturers.The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers an opportunity to facilitate payments beyond mobile phones, cards, and point-of-sale terminals, on a broad and diverse ecosystem of internet-connected devices.
- More transactions could eventually pass through connected devices than smartphones. We estimate there will be 24 billion of these devices by 2020, with 5 billion of them being consumer-facing. This represents a massive expansion of touchpoints where payments could be enabled.
- Card networks have developed a basic framework to enable commerce in everyday devices. Visa and MasterCard are creating the underlying infrastructure to support the standardization of payments integration and stake themselves out as the key connected payments gatekeepers. Their payment platforms are universal, allowing digital payments to grow without being tied to the success of a particular manufacturer.
- Consumer-facing IoT companies have much to gain from enabling payments in their devices, including improving the value of the device, being able to cross-sell products through the device, and laying the groundwork for future opportunities to earn incremental revenue. For payments companies, connected payments offer a new revenue stream and an opportunity to gain market share ahead of competitors.
- Wearables, connected cars, and smart home devices will be the top connected payments product categories.
In full, the report:
- Frames the opportunity for embedding commerce capabilities in new devices.
- Explains how a device becomes commerce-enabled.
- Discusses the potential for payment-enabled wearables, connected cars, and smart home devices.
- Examines the impact of connected payments on key stakeholders.

In last week's post, we learned how to create a custom dashboard to view vSAN disk group metrics for a selected cluster. That dashboard works awesome if you want to look at a particular disk group. But what if you want to compare that cluster's disk groups for specific metrics in a single representation and avoiding all that back and forth comparison? Impossible you say?
Today, we're going to take things a step further and include some views into a dashboard so that we can compare all disk groups for a selected cluster to quickly identify anomalies.
Creating the view
To begin, we'll start by creating a new view. Select dashboards from the top menu, views from the left-hand menu, and click on the green plus sign to create a view.
Give this view a name and a description of it's intended use.
Select a trendline graph from the presentation menu. Depending on the number of disk groups you have for each of your host clusters, you may want to adjust the maximum number of plot lines. 25 is more than enough for my lab.
In the subjects menu, expand the vSAN Adapter and select vSAN Disk Group.
Select the metric you want to view from the data menu. Note that you can plot multiple metrics on the same chart, but for the sake of keeping things readable, we'll just select one. In this example I expanded the disk I/O group and selected the average write latency (ms).
For the metric configuration, we'll uncheck the trend of the historic data and set the forecast to only show the next day. You could even uncheck forecasting all together as this dashboard will mostly be used to troubleshoot events that occurred in the past. However, I like to see where things are headed so I'll keep this checked.
Under the time settings tab, we'll leave it to the last seven days, but you can adjust as needed.
In case you're wondering, I don't think there's a distinguishable difference between the relative date range and absolute date range. Unfortunately, the documentation appears to have an incorrect description for the absolute date range. I believe the documentation is describing the advanced time range settings where you can report on all data from the first day of the quarter, 2nd day of the week, month, whatever.
And lastly, the filter is a pretty cool feature that can help clean up our data a bit.
We won't use filters for this particular view, but you could say just show me the disk groups where the average write latency exceeded 10ms.
Click Save.
Repeat this process for any other metrics that you want to compare. One of the great benefits to using views is that you have the ability to add these same views to a report!
Create the dashboard
Let's not reinvent our dashboard that we created last week. Instead, we'll clone that dashboard first by selecting actions -> manage dashboards,
then select our vSAN Disk Group Performance dashboard, and click the clone dashboard button.
Give the new dashboard a name. I creatively came up with vSAN Disk Group Compare Metrics.
Select the newly minted dashboard and click on the pencil icon to edit it.
I updated the description for this dashboard to reflect its intended use.
For our new dashboard, we only want to reuse the select cluster object list which will drive our views. Go ahead and delete the heat map, scoreboard, and object relationship widgets by clicking on the X located in the top right corner of each widget.
Next, drag a new view widget on to the dashboard for each of our views.
Click on the view widget's pencil icon to edit the widget.
Give the widget a title and select one of your newly created views. To speed things up, use the filters field to display all vSAN views.
Repeat this step for the other views you added to the dashboard.
The final step is to configure the widget interactions. This dashboard simply displays the disk group metrics for the selected host cluster. That means we'll pick the select cluster object list for each of our four views and click apply interactions.
Click save and you're done!
Enjoy your new dashboard. May it help you quickly identify and remediate issues!

What is the difference between a trailer and a cold room?
Our fridge and freezer trailers are towed to your venue/ location and set up for use by us.
A cold room or freezer room is installed by us at your premises or venue.
Typically, a trailer will be used outside a premises (perhaps adjacent to the kitchens or by a marquee at a show), whereas our cold rooms and freezer rooms can be installed inside or outside.
Example of a fridge trailer:
Fridge Trailers For Hire (2.4 M)
A purpose-built medium capacity fridge trailer ideal for extra chilled storage. This trailer will suit the catering trade in particular, as well as those organising outdoor events and off-site catering activities. It has a capacity of approximately 6 cubic metres (internal).
Example of a modular cold room (installed):
Portable Cold Rooms For Hire (3 M)
A large 3M mobile chiller and cold room. A same day delivery service is possible in London, the Thames Valley, South Wales, Birmingham and parts of the Midlands. We specialise in emergency refrigeration equipment and offer a range of chillers, freezers, cold rooms and fridge trailers to suit most refrigeration needs.
Our cold rooms and freezer rooms are made of independent panels which Icecool staff assemble making an installed cold room (or freezer room). The trailers require very little setting up.
Modular cold rooms are usually used in locations where a trailer is not appropriate.
You can find more information about our temporary refrigeration solutions here.

In April we were visited by my wonderful friend…April. Ben cooked a lot for us, including this Guacamole–the best I've ever tasted! We ate it so quickly that we had to make more. His secret? A couple scoops of Greek yogurt, which added a nice zip, as well as creaminess. Otherwise, the recipe is pretty basic: avocado, lime, garlic, red onion, cilantro, tomato, salt & pepper. Chili powder & jalapeno optional. But, the yogurt? So. Good.
PS– Do you know the pit secret? I learned a couple of years ago that leaving an avocado pit in the Guacamole keeps it from turning brown. It works!

Penn State Uplifting Athletes Lift For Life set for July 12
Penn State Uplifting Athletes Lift For Life set for July 12
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The 11th annual Penn State Football Uplifting Athletes Lift For Life is set for July 12, with proceeds again benefiting the Kidney Cancer Association.
The popular event will begin at 5 p.m. during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts in State College. For the second consecutive year, the Penn State Lift For Life will take place at the outdoor Penn State Lacrosse field next to the Ashenfelter Multi-sport Facility.
Eric Shrive, president of Penn State's Uplifting Athletes chapter, has challenged the members of the Nittany Lion football team to raise $300,000 at this year's event, which would push the team's 11-year fundraising total past $1 million for kidney cancer awareness and assistance. Shrive will be a senior guard for the Nittany Lions this season.
Over its initial 10 years, the Penn State Lift For Life has grown tremendously. Again last year, more than 80 Nittany Lion football student-athletes tested their strength and endurance in the challenge that raised a record total for kidney cancer awareness and assistance -- more than $110,000. Founded by Penn State football teammates, the Penn State Chapter of Uplifting Athletes has raised more than $700,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association since the first Penn State Lift For Life in 2003.
The Penn State Lift For Life is open to the public with a small donation suggested for all attendees to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association. Fans will have a chance to meet and get autographs from current and former members of the Penn State football team at the event.
To help the Nittany Lion Football Student-Athletes reach their goal, fans can visit the team donation page at http://liftforlife.upliftingathletes.org/lfl2/.
Founded by Penn State Football teammates Scott Shirley, Dave Costlow and Damone Jones in 2003, Lift For Life has continued to build awareness and raise funds for the Kidney Cancer Association. The event is organized by Penn State Football Uplifting Athletes, whose members are on the Penn State football team, led this year by Shrive (Scranton, Pa.), president of the chapter. Joining Shrive as Uplifting Athlete officers are vice president - senior tackle Adam Gress (West Mifflin, Pa.); head of operations - senior center Ty Howle (Wake Forest, N.C.); secretary - sophomore cornerback Da'Quan Davis (Baltimore) and fundraising chairman - freshman tight end Adam Breneman (Camp Hill, Pa.).
Earlier this month, Shrive was presented the 2013 Uplifting Athletes Rare Disease Champion Award. The honor is presented annually to recognize a leader in the world of college football who has realized his or her potential to make a positive and lasting impact on the rare disease community. With more than 7,000 rare diseases in existence, the organization impacts more than 30 million Americans. Shrive has raised $69,5000 for kidney cancer patients and research during his Penn State career.
In his first season as head coach, Bill O'Brien led Penn State to wins in eight of its final 10 games, beating eventual Big Ten champion Wisconsin on Senior Day to finish 8-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten. O'Brien was selected the 2012 Bear Bryant, Maxwell Football Club and ESPN National Coach of the Year and the Big Ten-Dave McClain Coach of the Year. O'Brien's eight wins were the most by a first-year Penn State coach in the 126 years of the program.
Penn State returns 16 starters and 38 letterwinners for the 2013 season. The Nittany Lions begin spring drills March 18, with the 15 practices culminating in the Blue-White Game presented by AAA at noon April 20, in Beaver Stadium.
Season tickets are available for the 2013 season. The Nittany Lions will host three teams that finished in the 2012 BCS Top 25: Michigan (Oct. 12-Homecoming), Nebraska (Nov. 23) and Kent State (Sept. 21). Purdue (Nov. 16), Illinois (Nov. 2), University of Central Florida (Sept. 14) and Eastern Michigan (Sept. 7) also will visit Beaver Stadium this fall. The Nittany Lions open the season Aug. 31 vs. Syracuse in MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
For information on joining the Nittany Lion Club and purchasing season tickets, as well as club seating in Beaver Stadium, fans can visit www.GoPSUsports.com or call 800-NITTANY from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays.
Penn State Athletics is on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pennstatenittanylions) and Twitter (http://www.gopsusports.com/ot/twitter.html)
About Uplifting Athletes: Uplifting Athletes is a full-service national nonprofit organization aligning college football with rare diseases and raising them as a national priority through research, outreach, education and advocacy. What makes Uplifting Athletes unique is that our university chapters are run by current football student-athletes, providing them with an opportunity to gain management and leadership skills while learning how to leverage their assets and abilities to make a positive and lasting impact. Current chapters operate at Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, Kent State, North Carolina State, Fordham, St. Francis, Notre Dame, Maryland, Illinois, Northwestern, Princeton and Colgate. Each chapter adopts one out of approximately 7,000 rare diseases (such as ALS, Aplastic Anemia, CMT, cystic fibrosis, Ehlers-Danlos, Ewing's Sarcoma, Kidney Cancer, Leukemia, MS, Neimann Pick Type-C, Neuroblastoma and pancreatic cancer).

A so-so follow up effort
J. Gilbert | 12/25/2009

"This video was pretty disappointing. It was not nearly as funny as Blue Harvest. My best friend bought it and we just watched it for the first time today. We immediately had the same reaction after it was over. It was ok and funny in parts but disappointing. A lot of the gags weren't funny and there were so many things that could have been a lot funnier. Glad I watched my friend's copy because I'm not going to waste the money to buy this now. It was ok to watch once but I wouldn't re-watch it so no point in buying it."
If you liked Blue Harvest, you'll like this too
Brian M. Moore | Raleigh, NC USA | 12/23/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I'm assuming the majority of people reading this are familiar with Family Guy, and presumably Blue Harvest, and are therefore looking to see how this episode compares to Blue Harvest. Simply put, if you enjoyed Blue Harvest, rest assured you're likely going to enjoy this episode as well. My initial impressions rate this as comparable in quality to Blue Harvest, with enough "freshness" to keep it from feeling like a stale rehash, yet enough references to the first episode to hold the story together.
If by chance you haven't seen Blue Harvest, I'd recommend you see it first, as much like with Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, this episode continues the story and references previous jokes and plot points.
The Blu-ray edition comes with a digital copy of the episode, and is presented in 1.33:1 ratio (regular/full screen/standard/whatever you prefer to call it). The run time is between 54 and 55 minutes (the digital copy shows as 54:41), putting it 7 minutes, 8 seconds longer than Blue Harvest."
Blu ray lunch box
S. Littler | Gainesville, Fl | 12/23/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"First off the misinformed reviews that were out before the disc was even released should be taken off by Amazon. The run time is around 54 minutes plus credits.
As a Star Wars fan the packaging was great with lunch box and t-shirt exclusive from Best Buy.
The bluray looked awesome and the sound was loud and thundering. The show itself was funny, and closer to the actual movie Empire Strikes Back than Blue Harvest was with a New Hope. One thing if you have kids, there is some foul language."
Too Many Missed Opportunities
Brian T. Newman | Seoul, Korea | 12/23/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Family Guy is back with a second Star Wars Episode. Honestly, it shouldn't matter if you are a fan of The Empire Strikes Back or not (I don't care much for A New Hope but loved the FG episode). Here is what you need to know: Is it funny? Sure, there are some laughs. Could it be better? I think so. Was it as funny as the last one? In my opinion, no.
Is it funny?-The fact that the episode had me laughing in the first few minutes was a good sign (the probe droid scene was probably my favorite scene in the episode). They do well to incorporate characters into funny yet familiar roles in the most random of times. You will laugh at this episode, so that should be worth something.
Could it be better?-Well...that is kind of my whole point here. There are so many missed opportunities in this episode to poke fun at Star Wars or other actors/actresses that are not taken advantage of. No Luke kissing Leia jokes...no Lando crossing his friends...no jokes about the Ugnaughts (pig people)...come on! Is it too predictable? Maybe...but it still deserves a shot. Besides the missed jokes, some parts were just not too funny, like the AT-AT jokes on Hoth.
Was it as funny as the last one?-I have my criticisms about Blue Harvest and they transfer over to this one too, but Blue Harvest just seemed to have the classic Family Guy humor to it whereas this one didn't.
In the end, I am glad they made this one, hopefully learned some lessons for when they make Return of the Jedi. If you are a Family Guy Fan, definitely buy it as it is worth seeing. Rewatch value is not as good as Blue Harvest, but still a worthwhile investment.
Thanks again for the laughs, Family Guy!!!"

I just heard that a group of people is working on a CMMi-like framework for Agile Product Management. And of course there's the Agile Maturity Model. And various surveys to assess Agility.
"Maturity" and "agility" are the wrong things to measure.
Level doesn't matter.
Results matter. Year-over-year improvement matters.
I've seen plenty of companies that assessed at some vaunted level, but still produce crappy results and still grind engagement and creativity out of their employees.
"Maturity" and "Agility" are proxy measures have the same risks as all measures: they focus attention on the wrong things and often drive behavior that's counter-productive.
Focus on doing better every day. Practices help you do that. Removing organizational impediments helps you do that. Improving skills does that. Improving the quality of management does that. Improving team capability does that.

I slowly made my way down the hospitals hallways one day after giving birth, waddling and feeling hesitant to leave the baby for an hour. The loudspeaker had just announced a breastfeeding support class. I had spent the previous night with nurses coming in repeatedly trying to help latch my baby, checking her blood sugars, and eventually trying to give her formula just to sustain her. I felt so overwhelmed and unbelievably confused, wasn't this supposed to come naturally? While dealing with my body trying to recover from childbirth, I also had these new emotions of having my very first baby that I was so anxious about how to care for. And now here I was, unable to feed her.
I rocked back and forth on the metal chair, trying to find a way to sit that didn't feel like I had just given birth to a 10 pound baby. And I tried my best to listen to the topics covered in the breastfeeding class. They covered the description of a proper latch (Yes, that's definitely what I'm aiming for but why can't I achieve it??) how frequently you should breastfeed at this age (Yeah, I'd love to but I can't get her to eat at all!) and finally, all the different positions you can hold your baby in to breastfeed (Spoiler alert- I can hold her in all of these positions and she still won't eat!)
When the class ended I approached the nurse (NOT a lactation consultant) and said, "I really feel like I need a little bit more help. I can deal with the pain of nursing but are my nipples supposed to be cracked and bleeding?"
This was the first time after roughly 10 feeding attempts and all the painful chapping that someone actually told me, "Breastfeeding isn't supposed to hurt at all." Finally I was getting some more feedback but I was still lost, what was I doing wrong??
The nurse looked at my shredded nipples and said, "Your baby has an incorrect latch and that's causing you pain, here use this nipple shield."
To this day I look back to this moment, at myself as a first time mom, deep in the trenches of motherhood. I want to yell, "LEARN ABOUT BREASTFEEDING!" What is the root of your problem?
We spend the next 6 months of Ellie's life exclusively nursing with a nipple shield. This meant keeping it clean every two hours, NEVER losing it, breastfeeding for 45 minutes each time, dripping and leaking of the milk, and a slow and steady decline in her weight. The weight decline is what finally brought a specialist in to look at her breastfeeding and tell me- she has a lip and tongue tie.
Any time a new mom-to-be has asked me for advice I tell them learn about breastfeeding! I could have been spared so many sleepless nights, so much fear and worry, and so much pain by having more knowledge of breastfeeding and the potential problems that come with it before giving birth.
This post is in partnership with Medela. They have an excellent new resource for moms and moms-to-be called The Moms' Room that offers FREE breastfeeding education and personalized support! I encourage you all to take advantage of the help and make the motherhood transition a little bit more smooth for yourself.

This is the actually report that Rasmussen posted:
"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows President Obama attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns the vote from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.
When "leaners" are included, the candidates are tied at 48%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question. Beginning October 1, Rasmussen Reports will be basing its daily updates solely upon the results including leaners.
Currently, 43% of voters nationwide are certain they will vote for Romney, and 41% are just as certain about voting for Obama. Three percent (3%) are likely to vote for Romney but could change their minds. Six percent (6%) say they expect to vote for Obama but could change their minds. Platinum Members can see demographic breakdowns, voter intensity and additional information from the tracking poll on a daily basis. "

This year's Perseid meteor shower is set to light up the night sky in a spectacular fashion over the next few days, as one of the hotly anticipated astronomical events of 2014.
The shower is expected to peak between 11 and 13 August and with a dark, clear sky, it is possible to see over 100 meteors in an hour.
The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle and are named after the point where they appear to originate, in the constellation Perseus.
The stream of debris is called the Perseid cloud, consisting of particles ejected by the comet as it travels among its 133-year orbit. It last passed Earth in 1992.
When the Earth passes through, the dust cloud particles hit the atmosphere at around 140,000 mph and burn up in streaking flashes of light, creating the shooting stars.
The shower is visible from around mid-July each year and can be seen all across the sky, but is particularly visible in the northern hemisphere.
In a 2008 study conducted by a team led by Dr Bill Cooke, from Nasa's meteoroid environment office, the Perseids were shown to be the "fireball champion" of meteor showers.
"We see more fireballs from Swift-Tuttle than any other parent comet," said Cooke, as reported by the Guardian.
Tony Markham, director of the Society for Popular Astronomy, recommended that skywatchers observe the night sky with their backs to the moon or keep it hidden behind a nearby building.
"The Perseids are rich in bright meteors and so many Perseids will still be seen despite the moonlit sky background," he told the Independent.
EarthSky also suggests viewing the shower early in the morning, as some bright Perseids "will probably be able to overcome the moon-drenched skies".
According to Universe Today, you can find out if you're watching a genuine Perseid by following the trail backwards, to see if it points to the northeast. The meteors will appear a short distance below the "W" or Cassiopeia constellation in the northeastern sky.
The earliest information on the meteor shower is found in Chinese annals, dating back to around AD 36. However, Belgian scientist Adolphe Quetelet is recognised for identifying that the Perseids emanated from Perseus in 1835.
Catholics occasionally refer to the Perseids as the "tears of St Lawrence" - as 10 August marks the date of the saint's martyrdom.

Sites which collecting and gather articles from many subjects then sorted it into categories, and it called as Article Directory, because of it as long someone wants to be Contributor in Article Directory and submit your content there you need to follow their submission guidelines.
Before Google releasing Panda Algorithm in February 2011, Articles Submission to the Article Directory is very popular in webmasters circles. Article Submission not only helps them a lot to build backlinks which most of Article Directories let the users copy and re-post them somewhere with Links in the content body stay intact, and Article Submission also can boost their traffics by a lot. When Panda Algorithm release Article Submission becomes decline and not many webmasters still do that.
The Article Directory becomes more declining than before because of on April 24, 2012; Google releases their newest algorithm known as Google Penguin which targeting websites which make backlinks from Article Directory.
To gain favour from the search engine use article directory, you need to create unique content, write the content at least contain about 400 or more words, keywords density in the articles body no more than 3 to 4%.

Welcome to where Don Runs
and where even your crew has to be crazy!
These runs will be presented by
The Harrisburg Area Road Runners' Club
HARRC's Tuscarora Trails Ultra 50K will be held
Saturday March 23, 2019 at 8:00 AM.
Registration for the Tuscarora Trails Ulta 50K is Closed!
We have reached our permit limit!
HARRC's Conococheague 50K Trail Run is closed and registration will open on June 1 for the July 20, 2019 run
Each race is limited to 75 runners.
Instructions for registration will appear on Registration page!
The HARRC's Tuscarora 50K Trails Ultra and the HARRC's Conococheague 50K Trail Run are both held at same start and finish location, Big Spring Picnic Area, along Rt 274, approximately 6 miles west of Blain PA.
The courses are similar, but run on approximately 75% different trail/roads.
The HARRC's Conococheague 50K will be held on
Saturday July 20, 2019.
You Must check in at start before start.
Bring donation for aid stations to start.
Trail briefing at 7:45AM!
For more information contact Donald Halke II on Facebook or e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com
These runs are approximately 50K, and is run on well marked trails and forest service roads. We will limit the field to no more than 75 runners.
The Tuscarora Trails Ultra, which I generally held in March, and the Conococheague 50K, which will be held on July 20, 2019, are FAT ASS events, which means they are free to participants.
Donations of water, food, Gatorade, etc., will be requested for the aid stations about a week before the event. Please do not sign up if you have no intention of participating. And if you have signed up, but need to withdraw, please leave me know as soon as possible.
There will be at least 3 manned stations.
Location and Start/finish area:
Big Spring State Forest Picnic Area
Tuscarora State Forest,
Perry County, Blain, PA
GPS Coordinates: 40.263986, -77.659201
First, I want to Thank the Harrisburg Area Road Runners' Club for allowing me to direct these two FREE events for the club. Running should be fun and affordable and that is what we are trying to do here!
I have posted a map and turn sheets for the Tuscarora Trails Ultra, as well as the Conococheague 50K. I also have pictures of the trail, if you would like to see the general area you will be running. Entry for the this 50K for the Tuscarora Trails 50K will open February 1 and entry for the Conococheague 50K will open on or near June 1, 2017. Since we are limited by the Bureau of Forestry as to how many participants we can have, you must register to run. You will be able to do that here, on line. And registration is free, too!!!
This narrative is for both of the events, however the Tuscarora Trails Ultra will not be using the Tuscarora Trail and is not nearly as technical as the Conococheague 50K. Most of this run will take place in the portion of the Tuscarora State Forest which is located near Blain and New Germantown, Perry County, Pa. (I hope you don't have any problems with our traffic signals. We just got the second one in all of Perry County and they are a bit confusing for some of us.)
The run will travel on miles of single track trail that lace the Conococheague, Rising Sun and Big Top mountains, with a few miles of forest service road and logging road thrown in to help break up the day. There will be at least four aid stations.
While running this course, you will get to see the failed attempt to tunnel through Big Top Mountain by the narrow gauge Path Railroad, way back in 1894. You will run through trails once frequented by then Iroquois and Delaware Indians and the area that provides the head water for the Sherman's Creek, flowing to the Susquehanna and the Conococheague Creek, which flows into the Potomac, reaching that destination near Williamsport, Maryland.
For our friends that have run on the MMT course, we will introduce you to a few sections of the trail that will make a lasting memory for you. How are your repelling skills?? You don't need a rope, but you might wish you had some! And for those of you who want to see some of Pennsylvania's legendary trails with the really rocky sections, well, I think we have you covered too!
Some advice and Contest rules: This is NOT a race, but a run. We want everyone to have a great time and enjoy our trails. But we are going to offer a contest, of sorts. You will be running in an area that will be "buzzing' with morning excitement as the sun warms the rocks and logs of our mountains. The first three participants, and that includes volunteers, that provide us a memorable picture of wildlife, will get a specially selected award. (Remember, the race director is a little crazy, so don't get too excited until you see our award!)
Now the contest: This race director enjoys wildlife and seeing pictures of all sorts of creatures. A prize (OK, the race director is a little crazy, so you can't say what the prize might be..) will be given to the first three persons that share the best wildlife photo taken during the run. Snakes, bear, deer, coyote, bobcat, Bigfoot, or any wild thing. Just show him or his designee your photo when you are done running and let the judging begin!
Pronunciations of Conococheague are varied, but two common and accepted pronunciations are: "Kahn-uh-kuh-JIG." or "KAH-no-KAH-cheek
"In 1822, the Moravian missionary, John Gottlieb Heckewelder (1743-1823), widely traveled among the Delaware Indians, sent to the American Philosophical Society a long descriptive list he had compiled of Indian names of geographical features. On his list (p. 373, as published by the American Philosophical Society in 1834) was "Conococheague," which he then phoneticized as "Guneukìtschik," with the accent on the penultimate syllable. He offered the translation as "long indeed, very long indeed."*"
*This history was written by John Buescher and was posted as a response to a question on the website: Teachinghistory.org
An important note:
In Pennsylvania, rattlesnakes and Northern copperheads are protected, and are only allowed to be killed by licensed fisherman in a very limited period between June and July. Thus, unless licensed, NO one is permitted to harm any snake on our course on race day!!! And I prefer you never hurt any.
