Inadequate meat content, meat of unidentifiable origin, low quality grains, sugar, controversial filler
The first ingredient in the food is a grain. Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food. It is also commonly associated with allergy problems. Even if this had been a good quality grain, we would note that grains are an unnatural foodstuff for canines, and dog foods should be based on meat not grain. Further grains in the food are oatmeal, a decent quality grain, and wheat middlings which is a filler. Wheat is believed by many to be the leading cause of food allergy problems in dogs and in middlings form are a grain fragment (the remnants of wheat after milling) and filler.
The second ingredient, poultry meal, is a meat product but is not one named by species. This is a concern as it makes it impossible to identify the source, quality or consistency of the ingredient. Ingredients of unidentifiable source are usually very low quality, cheap ingredients and are not found in higher quality products. A further meat product is fish meal, 6th on the ingredient list. This is too far down to make a substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We find no sign on the manufacturer's website of a guarantee that only ethoxyquin-free protein ingredients are used in this food (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly added to fish ingredients, and that is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. Molasses is an unneccessary source of sugar likely to cause or aggravate yeast conditions.
The food has added vitamins and minerals, but no information about these is given and it may contain synthetics.

Where is the delete thread function?
Things I picked up today
- Bioshock X360 Limited Edition from CL for $40
Value Village
- Picked up Master System Boxed $20
- Lands of Lore III $2
- Advanced D & D: Descent to Undermountain $2
- San Francisco Rush N64 - $1
.:Collection Pics:.
I did not want to start a new thread, but I wanted to see what you (Digital Press Members) thought about something. Here is an example of what I find in my local Goodwill (see it kinda fits into this thread).
Saturday, I walk into Goodwill and see a clear green (atomic green?) N64 on the shelf with a black and a clear purple controller. There are no games, cables or power adaptor. I am interested as I do not have a N64. Turn it over to see the price, 19.99! Huh, kinda high, but maybe if I scrounge around I can find the AC adaptor and the AV cables. I grab both controllers and that is when I notice that they both have individual price tags on them for 9.99 each! Jaw drops, N64 goes back on the shelf. 40.00 for a N64 with two controllers and no way to hook it up to your TV or even power it on, no thanks. Keep walking....
.... I now find myself standing in front of the glass case that Goodwill uses to lock up the items that deem "to valuable" to have just sitting on the shelf (I have been to 3 Goodwill and they all seem to have this same setup). Look in side and what do I see? Another N64! Ok, lets try this again. It is the standard black N64, it has two controllers, both 1st party controllers. It also has the power supply and the TV hook ups. As a bonus it also has Mario 64, ok cool, how much? Glass shelf so I look up from the bottom to see the price.....79.99! Wowza McTrousers! Eighty bucks for a N64 and one game?
Now my question, am I over reacting? Are these the prices you are finding to be constant at your local Goodwill or thrift stores? I am not trying to play the "it was a donation, I should be able to buy it for next to nothing" card, but 80.00 for a N64, seems pretty high.
Your thoughts?
Condoleezza Rice is nice, but I prefer A Roni!
Each Goodwill prices what they believe it to be worth. My Goodwill used to price games $2 for retro and $3 for Playstation+, but now everything's $4 base. I've seen prices range from $10 for a barebones PS1 to $60.
Those are pretty high for N64s, but it's not uncommon. You could always try to talk down the manager if they haven't moved in a while.
Don't even bother to try to talk them down, N64 systems aren't that hard to find and you can probably find them cheaper off craigslist or at a yard sale. Most of the managers I've talked to wouldn't budge anyway, or they still wouldn't reduce it enough. Even with stuff that they would just throw away like an empty box, they would either sell it to you or throw it out, not give it away. I came across an empty box for the King's Quest Collection, they told me they would just throw it out, but I could buy it for $3.99 if I wanted to.
And I should mention that if it's Value Village, most of the stuff they sell aren't donated. They buy stuff from actual charities and resell it for a profit. If you bought something from an actual charity for $2 and sold it on ebay for $70, you're helping charities the same way Value Village is.
I was at Goodwill two weeks ago and in the case they wanted $12 for one of the gold cart Zelda games for NES, and $20 for the Hobbit game new for original Xbox, it'll be a while before I go back there.
Some interesting finds this week:
Gamestop is clearing out a bunch of loose PS2 discs in many of their stores for between $0.99 and $2.99. Most are old sports games, but I did find a few keepers in the piles at two stores including:
Silent Scope - $1.99
Splashdown Rides Gone Wild - $2.99
Sega Superstars Eye Toy - $1.99
Zone of the Enders - $2.99
Timesplitters & TS Future Perfect - $1.99 and $2.99
At Half Price books I picked up:
Midnight Club 3 Remix (Complete PS2) - $2.00
NFL Blitz (PS1) - $1.00
And my most interesting find came at a local Goodwill:
Infocus DLP Projector - $24.99
This thing was stashed in its carrying case upside-down in the glass case so you couldn't see what it was unless you had an employee let you in the glass case. As soon as I spotted the Infocus logo I was intrigued, as was another guy watching over my shoulder. An employee and I took it across the store to test it, and I noticed this guy tagged along. As soon as I saw it worked, I payed for it immediately and took it out to the car despite the employee's offer to hold it behind the counter. I figured this guy might try to weasel his way into snagging it. The projector worked great for the hour or so that I played with it last night, and the status info claims the bulb has over 500 hours remaining on it. I can use this for work as a presentation projector and I'll also look into figuring out a way to slip this into my theater room on a non-permanent basis for some extra big screen games and movies!
Edit - OOps, almost forgot the Atari 2600 4-switch I picked up at another Goodwill for $2.99. It even came with the original AC adapter (a rarity for anything at my local goodwills).

I was in a Goodwill a little over a week ago that had a box of probably 30-40 loose Atari 2600 games. They were mostly commons and duplicates but there were a few good one that I could put in my collection or resell. I took the box up to the front of the store and asked if they would sell the whole box for a $25. They said that they weren't allowed to do that, and that several people had come in wanting to do that, but they had to tell them the same. So I asked what they were supposed to sell them for, and I was told $4 each. They acted kind of aggrivated because of the fact that the games had sat for so long, but couldn't take any offers on them. I cherry-picked the few I needed that were in the box and paid the asking price.
The whole ordeal makes me wonder where they get their prices or who is marking the decisions as to what price something is marked.
Edit: The post above this says that he found an Atari 2600 system for $2.99 at a Goodwill, yet I was asked to pay $4 each for Atari 2600 games... This just reinforces my point.

I collect for: Odyssey2, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, N64, SMS, Genesis, Dreamcast, PSX, and TI-99/4A
sometimes it helps if you are a regular and you are nice and polite, not arogant and obnoxious when you try to negotiate there, they get tons and tons of creepy ebay resellers in any of those stores dayly and they generally don't care to deal with them much (as they can be pretty fucking obnoxious over the difference of a dollar or two) but once they realize you actualy enjoy the games instead of just flipping them, you'llfind they'll be more open to negotiations. and if you are one of those anoying flippers well....TOO BAD! ;-)
Since I'm off school and I have some time at the moment I've been getting back into game searching. I was at a thrift store today which usually doesn't have any games, but lo and behold I walk in and there's a pile of Playstation and XBox games right on one of the counters.
All complete, in pretty good condition:
Cool Boarders 2001 - PS1
SSX World Tour - PS2
All the rest were sports games, which I didn't really want to deal with.
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
When I see loose N64s at Goodwill they tend to run around 10 bucks. Loose controllers are usually in the 3-5 range. Same thing with PS1's, although once in a while I see one for 19.99
Pretty busy day. I had some time to myself so I spent it going to every pawn shop and thrift store in my area.
Snow Brothers in the box with registration card, warranty card and some poster all in mint condition (box has a squish near the bottom right corner) 4.99
Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout complete - 4.99
G.I. Joe - 4.99
Double Dragon - 3.99
Guerrilla War - 3.99
Rainbow Island - 3.99
Tony Hawk 2 - $1.50
Keith Courage - 3.99
Yo Noid/Ratchet and Clank/Blood Omen Legacy of Kain - $10
Castle Shikigami 2 - $4.99
Found this plush Tails from the Sonic X series. He is missing a lot of his stuffing but that isn't a problem, he can be re stuffed. 99 cents at goodwill.

I probably didnt get a good deal on this but..
Life Force 4 dollars
Mario/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet/ 3 dollars
T&C Surf Design 2 dollars
Double Dragon 2 dollars
Gyromite 2 dollars
Deadly Towers 2 dollars
Universal Soldier complete with cardboard box 4 dolllars
Total with tax 20.26 i typed the prices by memory so they may be wrong but the total is right.
What's up with islands? Get more land.
What's up with deserts? Get less sand.
This is the stuff I've scored from eBay in the past week, I was just waiting for the Saturn games to arrive to post everything.
Sega Saturn GameShark (French, but works for me) NEW $18 shipped
...so I can play:
Super Advenure Rockman
Rockman 8
Rockman X3
Rockman X4
$90 shipped for all four, each is CIB and X3 has the obi inside, but 8's case is cracked and non-standard size. Still, definitely worth it.
Rockman X CIB - $13 shipped (Retro Duo plays it, haven't removed my SNES's tabs yet)
I've always wanted an import of X4, so I'd been looking for a Saturn copy. Seeing this auction made me really excited, since I've always wanted to see SAR. I'm starting to focus more on collecting Mega Man stuff, so I'm off to a great start, just have to start selling the random games I've found on hunts but never played to finance it. Not sure if I'm going to go for the PSX releases or not, since I have the US editions of those.
Now that I actually have good stuff to play on my Saturn, I'm gonna need a decent Saturn pad. I have a Model 1 pad and an analog pad, but I really want a Model 2 pad.

My first finds for February:
Astro Boy: Omega Factor for $9.99 (Used, Cart-only) - I think I overpaid a little, but it's an awesome game!
Ape Escape 2 for $4.99 (Used, CIB) - A few years ago I passed on this game, and I regretted ever since. Now I finally have it!
Half-Minute Hero for $19.99 (New) - I love how this game pokes fun at the RPG genre.
Preorder for Lunar: Silver Star Harmony Collector's Edition - I'm really looking forward to this game since I never played the PS1 remake. (I have played the Sega CD version.) Although, I wish that the LE came with an artbook instead of the bromides.
Oh, and I also downloaded Wild Arms from the Playstation Network Store.
I have the US PC version of X3, which is a port of the Saturn/PSX versions. Sound effects and overall audio seem better on the Saturn version, and the JPop is intact. There's also sidebars that change from level to level, possibly to compensate for a different pixel aspect ratio (?), while the PC version went fullscreen just fine.
Super Adventure Rockman was never released outside Japan.

A Colorado Senate race without a "Meet the Press" showdown feels incomplete
"Meet the Press" over the years has provided a fascinating look at Colorado's U.S. Senate races so it's disappointing there won't be a showdown between Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner.
The Sunday morning news program did not do Senate debates in 2012 and although there was talk of hosting them this year after Chuck Todd took over as host that never happened.
Too bad. The Meet the Press encounters over the years have included a Broncos jersey, the inclusion of North Dakota in the axis of evil and a game-changing comment about homosexuality. Read on:

Wild finish goes against Rockies in San Francisco
Colorado thwarts inside-the-park homer before 10th-inning walk-off
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Rockies have lost games and series to the Giants at AT&T Park in weirder and more deflating ways than Sunday afternoon's 5-4, 10-inning decision.
Brandon Crawford's leadoff homer in the bottom of the 10th was the difference. Sure, it was just Crawford's fifth homer off a left-handed pitcher in 370 career games and just the third Rex Brothers (1-1) has served up to a lefty in 201 career appearances. But different stuff happens often in Giants-Rockies tussles at AT&T Park, where the Rockies haven't won a three-game series since May 31-June 2, 2010.
"It was a called fastball inside and that's what we wanted, and I feel like we executed it pretty well. If anything, it was up," Brothers said. "But you know what? Today was a great game. Unfortunately for us to lose in that fashion and the series in that fashion, it stings.
"You want to come in and win a series. More than anything, I thought I made my pitch and he got to it."
But at least the Rockies avoided getting walked off in inside-the-park fashion for the second straight year.
Don't laugh.
It happened when Angel Pagan did it last May 25. On Sunday, Gregor Blanco tried it in the bottom of the ninth, only to be erased with strong throws from right fielder Michael Cuddyer and second baseman DJ LeMahieu and a diving tag by catcher Wilin Rosario.
And while the Rockies couldn't close the deal, it wasn't the docile loss that occurred so many times over the years. Rosario and Justin Morneau hit their first home runs of the season as the Rockies scratched out four runs off Giants starter Tim Hudson on just five hits in seven innings.
So after three one-run games, two going the Giants' way, it was the same result but somehow didn't have that same-ol' feel.
"You talk about it being a bottom-line business, so you want to win the series," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "But it was a great game, a great series. Crawford hit a walk-off against one of the best left-handers in all the game. What are you going to do?"
And maybe from Crawford's perspective, a homer off a difficult-to-handle lefty isn't totally weird. He is 7-for-14 against lefties this season, which should diminish the possibility that manager Bruce Bochy will sit him when he sees "LHP" on the pitching probables.
"I knew it was something I needed to work on," said Crawford, who hit a 91 mph fastball for his first career "splash hit" -- into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall. "It was pretty cool until I got my head bashed by everybody.
"Now I just have to figure out how to hit righties [.208 against them this season]."
Tyler Chatwood (six innings, four runs, five strikeouts), in his first start after missing the beginning of the season with a left hamstring strain, was pitching well and had a 1-0 lead on Rosario's second-inning home run off Hudson. A Crawford sacrifice fly and Pagan's two-run single in the fifth gave the Giants a 3-1 lead. Pablo Sandoval made it 4-1 with a homer to right to open the sixth.
"That was the only bad pitch I felt I threw," Chatwood said. "I was happy to get back out there on the mound."
However, Morneau's two-out homer in the seventh and consecutive doubles in the eighth by Nolan Arenado and LeMahieu set the Rockies up to tie the game. When the Giants went to lefty Javier Lopez, pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs subbed for Charlie Blackmon -- and his .488 batting average -- and dribbled a single through the left side to drive in LeMahieu to tie the game.
"I would have taken a beating for that one [had Stubbs not delievered]," Weiss said. "But you know what? Javy Lopez makes a lot of money and he's been one of the best in all the game at getting left-handed hitters out."
Blanco's attempt to cover all the bases occurred on his drive to the right-center-field wall against Adam Ottavino with two out in the ninth. The ball didn't carom where Cuddyer expected, then he fumbled the pickup. But the throws were accurate and Blanco was out.
"Right off the bat and right after it hit the wall, I was thinking about last year and how that happened," said LeMahieu, who said the roar of the fans left him with no doubt that he was going to have to make the throw to the plate.
Sergio Romo (1-0) fanned Rockies pinch-hitter Josh Rutledge to start a strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out double play to end the top of the 10th.

Tomic, Federer exchange words of caution before Australian Open
No. 2 seed Roger Federer is seeking his first Australian Open title since 2010. (Aaron Favila/AP)
Roger Federer was asked about a potential third round match against the streaking Bernard Tomic. Federer's message was clear: hold your horses. Tomic is no guarantee to make the third round.
"He's also got his work cut out, you know, in the first few rounds," Federer said. "He will be making a mistake about thinking about me in the third round because he also has to get there."
Report Card: Tomic breaks through in Sydney
Federer went on to caution the extended hype that is currently buzzing around Tomic, who goes into the Australian Open undefeated after wins over Novak Djokovic at the Hopman Cup and capturing his first ATP title in Sydney last week. The 20-year-old seems to have turned himself around after a disastrous 2012.
But Federer isn't quite buying the young Aussie's stock quite yet.
"I think we should go step by step, see how it goes," he said. "Let's speak in a year's time. Everybody wants to jump from what's his ranking 60 to 10 in a year. It's hard to do. Ten is a big ask. Don't forget how tough the top 10 players are right now."
Later that day Tomic came in for his pre-tournament presser. I don't know if he caught wind of Federer's comments or not, but the confident (understatement?) Aussie seemed to take a swipe of his own. Asked whether he thinks he can beat Federer in the third round, Tomic quipped "Well, if he gets that far."
"I mean, like I said, the first round is my goal, to beat this guy. I do struggle against some guys out there. I don't know how this guy can play. If the possibility comes for me to win that first match, I'll look for my next round, which is also tough."
"I would love to get in that position to play Roger in the third round. He has to get there as well. You don't know what can happen. Tennis is a funny sport. So we'll see."

Real Mom Gift Guide: All Rebecca Campora of 7 A.M. Enfant Wants For the Holidays Is . . .
Rebecca Campora loves good design. Add some fashion to the mix, and she's in heaven. That's how she came to design 7 A.M. Enfant's signature products, Le Sac Igloo and Blanket212 Evolution. The stroller buntings were the first to merge fashion and function, adding urban style to something as universal as the stroller blanket. The mom of three has an uncanny ability to predict baby and parenting trends and applies that sense to her products — have you seen the Polar Igloo WarMMuffs she designed for this Winter? They're genius!
Knowing Rebecca's love for form, function, and tasteful products, we assumed she had a few fun things on her holiday wish list year. Turns out we were right. Keep reading for the French native's (she now lives in NYC) eclectic picks this holiday season.

LOS ANGELES — The Kardashian family was the target of a fake 911 call in California on Saturday.
Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said someone called 911 and falsely reported an emergency at a former Malibu residence of the Kardashians.
According to KTLA, Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Sunday that it's too soon to tell whether the reality TV stars are the latest victims of so-called "swatting," a hoax intended to get officers, including specialized SWAT teams, sent to a home.
Deputies responded to the call Friday at a house in Malibu where the Kardashians formerly lived, Whitmore said. After finding the house empty, deputies contacted the family and went to their homes about 20 miles away.
Deputies determined no crime had been committed.
Kim Kardashian, who was not home at the time, decried the hoax on Twitter, calling it "dangerous" and "not a joke."
"These prank calls are NOT funny!," she wrote Friday.
Deputies are hoping to make "swatting" a felony.

Update: WHEE! Just as I finished writing this, I learned that they got suspended!!
So, the Opie and Anthony rape joke thing is back on my radar today, for the following reasons:
2) I just found out they're losing advertisers — yay!
3) I revisited the Shakesville threads on it — Rape Is Hilarious, and Rape Is Hilarious Part II –– and discovered that, since the last time I looked at them, civilized discussion has been swapped out for a whole lot of hateful bullshit.
I don't have anything to say about Opie and Anthony that The Rotund and Melissa haven't covered. I do, however, have a few things to say about those comment threads.
First, if you are a guy still laboring under the impression that there's no qualitative difference between the online harassment directed at women and that directed at men, I invite you to read those threads over very carefully.
No time? Here's the Cliff's Notes:
Shorter Melissa: Joking about "fucking a woman to death" is not actually funny. Also, it's worth noting that I was almost literally fucked to death, so… yeah.
Actual quotes from commenters*:
- i hope you get aids while being raped by a homeless man in the alleyways of new york. you cunt. then again if any man would want to rape your gigantic ass, i'd be shocked
- Men like me make rape jokes as well as other dark satire all the time, and like it or not, whatever man you ever duped into spending time with you is lying if they say otherwise.
- Feminazi's like you are ruining this country, ride a fucking bike you fucking moon of Jupiter. P.S. whoever raped you could have just waited at the exit of a bar at 3am and gotten it consenually without the beached whale-like "struggle" you probably gave. What a shit load of fuck.
- Your experience of being raped is absolutely not relevant. Think of the ramifacations of your actions before you make such an emotional based argument.
- NO ONE used the word rape. Rape was never really implied. Sure, Anthony said hold her down and the horror on her face. I'm sure "Homeless Charlie" isn't exactly the best looking or kindest guy and that would have to happen for the situation. It DOES NOT mean or imply rape in any way.
- The only tragedy is that a bullet didn't rip through your brainstem after you were used for your one and only purpose in this world. You should consider yourself lucky that some man finds a hideous troll like yourself rape-able.
- These fat whores would be lucky to even get raped by someone. I hope you whiny cunts find your way on top of a pinball machine in the near future.
- too bad that terrible rapist didnt kill your fat ass….Cunt
- Holy bunch of loser cunts, Batman! Someone should shove these bitches into a clothes dryer with Magic Johnson and an open bag of razor blades.
- Your so-called rape is a sham and you know it. You 'claim' it because you feel it clothes you in the sort of victim halo that gives you some sort of moral authority. What's repulsive is the glory you revel in while re-counting a bullshit rape story. Get help soon.
- I guess the guy who raped you somehow left his dick behind, because you have a major pole up your ass. Pull it out and lighten up.
- hey Melissa, I bet you play a great Rusty Trombone
- RAMONE! Fetch this fat cunt another chin!
- For the last time….THEY NEVER SAID RAPE TO DEATH. fucking someone to death does not mean killing the. its an expression, thats it. it means fucking a female so well, that getting fucked like that again is the only important thing to her. youve turned her out, and revealed her for the cock hungry little creature she is. thats all it means. breaking down the spectrum of her human emotions to simply wanting to get fucked into another time zone. or fucking her to death. same thing. and thats basically want a girl wants, getting it so good she has to worship the cock. you know its true
- You're a liar. You made up that story to further your feminist agenda. But if, by chance, you aren't lying then at least there was a time in your pathetic life when you fulfilled the only purpose!
- Don't lie just because he dumped you after he was done with you. It was the best fuck you ever had.
- Listen cunt, you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. You're an emotional, illogical, imbecile that has no ability to rationally think about anything… I realize you're probably an ugly, uninteresting, unfunny pig. Why else would you be here? But that doesn't mean you can ruin the lives of everyone else just because you're a fat, miserable waste that cant stop shoving food down her greedy gullet. For once, why don't you try actually using your fucking head for something other than devouring every edible thing in sight.
- Man, you managed to clean up all that blood even though your fingernails had been torn away? That must have been painful? Yeah, right. You lying bitch. This whole thing is bullshit. She's only trying to get her feminist friends to rally behind her.
- So does all that fat hide your funny bone? You humorless, ugly dyke cunt!
- When was the last time any of you have been within ten feet of a penis?
- You're a boring fat hole.
- youre a fat cunt who doesnt have a sense of humor.
And that's just a fucking sampler.
Do you notice a few recurring themes there?
Here's what all those themes have in common: they're the most shockingly cruel things people can think of to say. The things most likely to hurt. In discussions of trolling, I often see the argument made that "Trolls will say anything they think will hurt and/or get a rise out of you" — as if that makes their statements meaningless. And in terms of whether you should take any of it to heart (safety issues aside), that's sort of true. These people's opinions obviously aren't worth taking seriously.
But the way they choose to express their hate is worth taking seriously. It is meaningful. Because it tells us a lot about ourselves as a culture.
The thing to remember is, these people don't know shit about Melissa — or any other woman blogger they attack. When choosing the words most likely to wound, all they have to go on is their knowledge of what is most likely to make the average woman feel so totally mortified and ashamed, she'll want to shut up and hide.
So first, check out how fucking obsessed these people are with Melissa's weight. I only included the comments that incorporated both fat and rape or anti-woman slurs above; I left out all the isolated gratuitous swipes at her appearance, the photos of hippos and fat women and vegetables (which, you know, she's never heard of). That might actually be the most prevalent recurring theme in the comments.
Now, if they knew anything about Melissa, they'd know she openly describes herself as fat and doesn't apologize for it (yay!). But they don't know that.
What they know is, generally speaking, drawing attention to a woman's fat is an almost surefire way to utterly humiliate her. To make her feel so ashamed of herself she doesn't know what to say.
And that, of course, is because, as a culture, we agree that being fat makes a woman — gasp! — unattractive.
And calling a woman unattractive works to humiliate her, most of the time, because we all know women are worthless if men don't want to have sex with them.
Because getting fucked is our "only real purpose."
So we deserve — need — to get fucked against our will to fulfill our purpose and remember our place.
Yet fucking is always about sexual desire, never about power and control. You should consider yourself lucky if a man finds you worth raping.
And you're probably lying about being raped anyway.
These are the most devastating things people can think of to say to a woman in this culture. And they all come back to the same basic point: your body is not your own. You do not get to control it, you do not get to decide how to nourish it, you do not get to decide who enters it, you do not get to make statements about it. We will tell you what your body is, what should happen to it, what has happened to it.
And the second you forget that, we'll be right there to remind you. What to do with a woman blogger who has a strong mind, a loud voice and a devoted readership? Tell her her fat ass deserves to be raped and murdered. What to do with a woman who becomes Secretary of State? Fuck her to death.
Fuck her to death. It was all right there in the first place. Really, all the comments directed at Melissa are a variation on the original theme. When a woman starts showing signs of power, the thing to do is fuck her until she loses it — whether because she's mortified into submission, because she loves teh cock so much she gets all distracted, or because she ends up dead. The how doesn't really matter. What matters is, you fuck her so hard she becomes powerless.
(But of course if she's fat, she's gonna need to lose some weight so you'll feel more like fucking her to death.)
This is the exact same shit they pull out time and again, woman blogger after woman blogger. These are the words and themes they choose to wound and humiliate as deeply as they know how. You can have your brains and opinions, but we still own your body, you fat cunt.
The question isn't whether we should let it hurt us, or even whether they'll make good on their threats — we know the majority won't. The question is: Why are they so confident that those particular messages will devastate us?
The answer to that is where you'll find lessons about the culture we're living in and what women experience every day. The answer to that is where you'll learn what we're fucking complaining about all the time.
*My apologies to Melissa for compiling a list that makes me want to retch, break things and sob simultaneously, and it's not even directed at me, but I know she supports the larger cause here. Also, it goes without saying that she is superfuckingawesome and hot, to boot.

Some time ago, I had a bookmark on my iPhone for a WebApp I believe to be called "Sparkie". It was a web app that would display electric arcs for every finger that tapped the screen, and would draw lines in-between multiple fingers. It goes without saying that it appears I've lost the bookmark.
In my attempts to search for it, I have found Matt Gemmell's Multi-Finger Test app, but I am not able to deploy it to my iPad because I am not a paying iOS developer.
Anyone out there know of the WebApp I'm searching for?

The first in a series of storms that hit the Bay Area Wednesday arrived a bit late, but came with the predicted power.
By late morning, heavy rains and gusty winds caused dozens of car crashes, downed trees and flight cancellations.
The wind gusts clocked at Poverty Flats in Santa Clara at a whopping 77 mph, 66 mph at Mt. Diablo, 53 mph in Los Gatos, and 45 mph in San Francisco.
Rain totals:
- Point Reyes: 1.78"
- Petalum: 1.61"
- Los Altos: 1.45"
- Santa Rosa: 1.33"
- Santa Cruz Mountains: 1.25"
"Traffic was terrible," said Bobby Edwards, who was commuting from Benicia over the Bay Bridge. His commute took an hour on Wednesday, a drive that would normally take him 25 minutes.
San Francisco International Airport saw a total of 90 flights canceled because of rain, low visibility and winds. Anais Suchiam, who was stuck at SFO and hails from London - where it rains a lot - said she simply "couldn't understand" what all the fuss and cancellations were about.
The Bay Area storm, dubbed round No. 1, made its way out of the region by lunch. The next system is expected to arrive Thursday night and last into Friday. It is a traditional north to south weather system with rain starting north of the Golden Gate and moving south. The next system has more moisture content with as much as two to four inches of rain falling.
Many are concerned about potential flooding in the North Bay and in the Santa Cruz mountains now that the ground is already wet and there is more rain the forecast.
The San Anselmo creeks and rivers are among those at risk, so the city is handing out free sandbags so residents can prepare for the wet weather.
And that won't be the last storm of the week. Storm No. 3 is expected to arrive Saturday. It will bring hit and miss showers at best.
A last storm of the series is the biggest of them all. It is expected to arrive Sunday. NBC Bay Area meteorologist Anthony Slaughter describes it as the mother ship arriving at port. Slaughter says the "mother ship" is a system that is sitting off the coast and has been spitting out the rest of the storms. That mega-system will move itself on in come Sunday.
It has the most moisture of all of the systems and could bring yet another three to five inches.
Our first break in the weather won't come until next Monday.
The storms will also bring high surf along the coast.
When it comes to snow in the Sierra, the news is nearly all bad. Meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Reno say it will be mostly rain below 8,000 feet. Above 8,000 the NWS is only forecasting two feet of snow.
Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol are reminding motorists to drive safely this week/weekend by taking the following steps:
- Reduce your speed in rainy, foggy and windy conditions. Motorists should be aware that Black Ice may develop, usually near bridges, underpasses and low or shaded areas.
- Slow down and move over when Caltrans workers, law enforcement or tow truck drivers are working near the roadway.
- Be aware of electronic message boards and other road signs with information on incidents, changing road conditions, lane closures or detours.
- Make sure that vehicle brakes, windshield wiper blades and tires are in good condition and inspect your head and tail lights for maximum visibility on the highway.
- Call 911 to report any hazardous conditions.

Mastering Winter White: The 13 Pieces You Need To Pull Off a Snow-Hued Ensemble
Winter white has become a buzz-word. And yet, some are still a bit hesitant to give the look a try. We urge you to go white-out style with a head-to-toe monochromatic look. If you need a push in the white direction, fall runways served as proving ground that snow-hued ensembles make a lasting impression.
Elie Saab, always one to turn out delicate yet attention-demanding looks, closed out his monochromatic lineup with all-white looks (some complete with capes!) for Fall 2013, while Lazaro Hernandez and Jack MCollough of Proenza Schouler kept some looks in their grayscale collection all-white. If you're really craving some color, take a cue from Peter Copping's Nina Ricci Fall 2013 collection and add pops of red via a crimson pout and pumps.
The key to nailing the look is in the fabric. You need a hearty, cozy material. Look for whites with yellow undertones, they'll convey that desired softness. Ready to give winter white a go? We gathered all the goods - from a lace covered tank and a jacquard bomber jacket to alabaster-hued accessories.

Radon Mitigation: A New Business Opportunity
A version of this article appears in the Winter 2016 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 29, 2016
Of all the known dangers to residents associated with a home's indoor air quality, the least recognized may be exposure to radon gas. Unless a building has been built to specifically prevent radon entry, there is no way to keep it out of the building's interior if a radon source is present in the ground under the building. The good news is that it is easily measured and mitigated, which makes it a potential add-on service for a home performance contractor.

A Japanese artist fills an old phone booth with water and goldfish, to the delight of passers-by.
These days telephone booths are pretty much obsolete. Instead of letting them slowly decay on the city sidewalks, an artist collaborative called Kingyobu in Osaka is converting them into giant goldfish aquariums. The shimmery orange fish is somewhat of a good luck charm in Japan, so visitors crowd around the awesome tanks and get their luck and happiness fill
Kingyobu loosely translates to "goldfish club" in English. The group's transformation turns rusty old phone booths around the city into a fun and simple art installation for everyone to enjoy for free.

| 5.2°C Belfast
Rebekah Brooks has denied any knowledge of phone hacking while she was editor of the News of the World, insisting it was impossible for her to know the source of every story that appeared in the tabloid.
As she took to the witness box for the first time at the Old Bailey today, the former News International (NI) chief executive said she had not heard private detective Glenn Mulcaire's name mentioned, nor anything about his hacking activities, during her leadership from May 2000 to January 2003.
Wearing a white cardigan over a royal blue dress, with her red hair pinned back, the 45-year-old appeared calm as she began her long-awaited defence over allegations of phone hacking and paying public officials.
After describing her rapid rise to the upper echelons of NI, Brooks was asked about her knowledge of Mulcaire - who has already admitted charges of phone hacking - and his activities.
Asked by her lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw QC: " Had you heard of Mr Mulcaire's name?", she replied, "no".
The barrister asked: " Had anybody as far as you can remember spoken his name in your presence?".
Again she answered "no".
Mr Laidlaw went on: "P hone hacking? Accessing voicemail messages? Was any involvement he had in that practice ever drawn to your attention?"
In the tense exchange, Brooks answered: " No, not at all."
Brooks told the court that around 200 stories made it into the newspaper out of a pool of stories twice the size.
"You would always have access to the wires, the Press Association. You would also have the news on so you were getting stories from all sorts of places," she said.
She added: "It's impossible for an editor to know every source for every story. Of course it's impossible with the sheer volume that's coming into the paper."
Jurors heard that an investigations unit set up by Brooks was dubbed the "dark arts department", alluding to alleged illegal activity.
The unit was run by former news editor Greg Miskiw - who Brooks today described as having an "air of mystery" - who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hack phones by tasking Mulcaire with targets.
Asked about suggestions that the unit had been set up specifically to hack phones, Brooks said: "It's just not correct."
The unit came to an end in 2001 after it became apparent that it "wasn't working", the court heard.
During Brooks' evidence, she described meeting former prime minister Tony Blair and the ''original New Labour crew'' before the Sun famously switched political allegiance.
Her then boyfriend EastEnder Ross Kemp, a card-carrying Labour supporter, had been asked to open a rally for then shadow education secretary Mr Blair, whose mantra at the time was Education, Education, Education, she said.
'' I went with him and that's when I met the New Labour team - Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, Alastair Campbell and his wife Fiona Millar and Peter Mandelson - the original New Labour crew. "
Describing The Sun and News of the World's switch to support Mr Blair in 1997, she said: ''The Sun had supported the Tories for a long time and they supported Tony Blair in favour of John Major very early on. It was a big thing.''
Yesterday, the trial heard how Brooks's relationship with Mr Blair continued at the height of the hacking crisis in July 2011.
Reporting an hour-long phone call with Mr Blair to James Murdoch, Brooks said he told her to ''tough up'' and offered to be an unofficial adviser.
Brooks, 45, is accused of conspiring to hack phones, conspiring to commit misconduct in public office and conspiring to pervert the course of justice in a bid to cover it up.
Earlier, the jury was instructed to formally acquit Brooks on a charge of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office, over an alleged conspiracy to pay public officials for a picture of Prince William in a bikini, after judge Mr Justice Saunders ruled there was no case to answer.
Brooks is accused of conspiring to hack phones alongside one-time lover Andy Coulson, who served as her deputy editor on the NotW and went on to become editor, as well as f ormer managing editor of the News of the World Stuart Kuttner.
She described Kuttner as having an " incredibly good reputation" today, but added "I wouldn't say we were ever friends; he was a different generation and a different world almost."
Brooks said she did not socialise with Miskiw and NotW former chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck, who has also admitted conspiring to hack phones.
Describing her dealings with media mogul R upert Murdoch, she said he would always call on a Saturday night, before the newspaper was published the following day.
Recalling the first time he came to her office, she said: ''I remember him coming into my office for the first time when I was deputy editor and he sat down and said 'It's a big challenge at a young age', kind advice.
"'You've got a long career ahead, take your time, learn on the job'.
''He was particularly keen for me to take a very strict path in any kind of publicity.
''He wasn't very fond of editors ... going on Radio Four and spouting forth about their opinions, he didn't like that.''
She added: ''I made the fatal error of telling him Woman's Own wanted to interview me, and his reaction was very grim.''
Brooks, 45; Coulson, 46; former NotW royal editor Clive Goodman, 56; Brooks's former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, 49, Brooks's racehorse trainer husband Charles Brooks, 50, head of security at News International Mark Hanna, 50, and ex-NotW managing editor Stuart Kuttner, 73, deny all charges.
The case was adjourned until tomorrow.
