Enjoy Life, the simple choice in fresh potatoes
Modern convenience is not only about fast preparation of a meal, but it's also about offering consumers a simple choice. The 'Enjoy Life' concept is the solution.
The Enjoy Life concept is developed from trends in food and research on generation Y.
Why focus on generation Y?
Because it's our new generation consumers! The young people, the students, the young professionals and young families, more or less in the age of 20 till 35. Also known as generation Y or the Millennials. In 2015, the Y-generation represents 15% of the total European population! That's a huge potential of customers for potatoes. Although 91% of them say they love the taste of fresh potatoes, 82% of them eat less than two meals a week with fresh potatoes.

Constantino Papatsoris-The Coanda Ceiling Fan
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Constantino Papatsoris : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Constantino Papatsoris : We are in the era of the "Internet of Things," where smart, connected devices are becoming more and more ubiquitous in the home, with devices such as Internet-enabled baby monitors, lightbulbs, and even thermostats. The Coanda is a smart, learning ceiling fan that connects to the Internet in order to let its owner control temperature settings as well as adapt to changing environmental conditions and weather variations to provide optimal temperature and energy settings. The device is also a redesign of the function of traditional ceiling fans, applying the Coanda effect and the Bernoulli principle, and drawing inspiration from other ventilation systems in the market, such as laptop computer fans and industrial air amplifiers. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Constantino Papatsoris : We wanted to bring innovation into a household appliance whose design seems to have remained largely ignored over the last few decades. Keeping in mind that the amount of energy required to run a ceiling fan is far lower than the energy required to run an HVAC unit, we also wanted to create a device that people would find easy to use, as well as beautiful to have in their homes, in order to help users save money on their energy bills, while also helping the environment in reducing overall energy costs. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Constantino Papatsoris : The device would ideally work best when paired with a smart thermostat. We would like to see it go into production, but as students, we do not possess the means to bring this concept to reality. We are in the process of registering the intellectual property behind this design, and we are open to a partnership with any entity willing to help us bring it to market. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Constantino Papatsoris : The main idea behind this concept came about in June of 2013. All the work that led to the realization of the winning design began in January of 2014, and took three months to complete. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Constantino Papatsoris : We were pursuing an inspiration, motivated by the desire to turn a commonplace household item into something that would provide more utility, savings, and excitement to the average user, while helping reduce the energy drain in the average household. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Constantino Papatsoris : This is a student project, an we have no current plans to produce the product ourselves at this time. We are open to selling or leasing the production rights to this design. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Constantino Papatsoris : We noticed an opportunity in the "Smart Home" trend, where Internet connectivity could help increase the value and utility of the average ceiling fan, while helping to provide a more comprehensive and detailed temperature control system for the home. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Constantino Papatsoris : We looked for inspiration in many places, and we found useful reference in the designs of laptop computer fans, particularly those in the current MacBook models. We also looked at many different designs for industrial air amplifiers, and the aesthetic of the design was inspired by a desire to create something as engaging as the Dyson bladeless fan. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Constantino Papatsoris : Our target customer is a young professional, aged 30-45, who is interested in technology, owns a smartphone, has disposable income, and has recently moved into a new home. He or she is concerned with energy savings, both from a financial and environmental point of view, and is interested in using technology to achieve optimal comfort in his or her life. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Constantino Papatsoris : To our knowledge, there is no other concept for a smart ceiling fan in the market. The nearest thing to a smart temperature control system is the smart thermostat, of which you can find products on the market by companies such as Nest, Tado, Allure Energy and Honeywell. The design of the fan itself is also completely different from the average ceiling fan, where it has no visible blades, a smaller overall diameter, and uses air pressurizing systems based on the Coanda effect and the Bernoulli Principle to distribute air around the room. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Constantino Papatsoris : The Coanda is named after Henri Coanda, the Rumanian scientist that discovered the principle of fluid dynamics that state that air (or liquids) takes the shape and direction of the shape of the object it comes into contact with. Since this principle is pivotal to the function of our design, we decided to name it in his honor. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Constantino Papatsoris : Sketching, rapid prototyping, SolidWorks, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, KeyShot. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Constantino Papatsoris : There are two equally unique aspects to this design: first, the physical design has no visible fan blades and a design that propels air via a pressurizing system as opposed to a rotating blade system. Second, the device is connected to the internet and is controlled primarily via the owner's smartphone, as opposed to clunky chains hanging from the device, switches, or dials. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Constantino Papatsoris : The design was developed by Constantino Papatsoris and Santiago Castillo, with the guidance from professor John McCabe of the Savannah College of Art & Design. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Constantino Papatsoris : Technology helps this device remain connected to the Internet, helping it read the local weather and season, in order to adjust blade speed, as well as direction in order to allow for thermal destratification, where cool air is pushed upwards in cooler rooms in order to propel the warmer air downwards, thus reducing the load of heaters in the winter time. From an industrial point of view, technology used in other industries such as technology and industrial cleaning helped us redesign the look and function of the device and rethink what a ceiling fan could be. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Constantino Papatsoris : We conducted preliminary research in order to gain an understanding of the demand for such a device in current market conditions and trends. We conducted contextual research in order to understand most users' pain points with current ceiling fans in the marker. We also conducted research on the scientific principles regarding air flow, aerodynamics, and air pressure in order to understand.[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with Constantino Papatsoris on The Coanda Ceiling Fan at design-interviews.com ]

NY Police Chief Kelly Taking $1.5 Million Worth Of Publicly-Funded Bodyguards With Him When He Retires
from the famous-bulletproof-golden-parachute dept
New York City Police Chief Ray Kelly has spent years defending the harassment of minorities via the PD's stop-and-frisk program. Kelly (and Mayor Bloomberg) have constantly pointed to the decline in violent crime stats as evidence the program works (and as justification for its unconstitutional aspects).
But the city must not be safe enough. Ray Kelly's retiring, but he won't be doing it unaccompanied. According to police sources, Kelly will be taking a small battalion of personal bodyguards with him wherever he goes, post-employment.
The NYPD's Intelligence Division — with Kelly's input — is recommending that Kelly take with him a 10-officer complement of taxpayer-funded bodyguards, up from the six-officer detail the commissioner had wanted last month.This does seem excessive, especially considering Kelly will be retiring far from the mean streets, not heading to prison. In fact, he doesn't personally put people behind bars, so it's not as though he'd be much more than a symbolic target in the big house.
The detail will now include a lieutenant, three sergeants and six detectives to chauffeur and protect Kelly and his family around-the-clock in the Big Apple and even out of town after he ends his 12-year run atop Police Headquarters — at an estimated cost of more than $1.5 million a year, sources estimate.
On the other hand, spending a decade deploying (and championing) a questionable program that gives NYPD officers the right to stop anyone (almost exclusively minorities) for any reason didn't exactly make Kelly a whole lot of friends. If an investigator was to ask whether anyone had a motive for doing something horrible thing to ex-Chief Kelly, the list of suspects would probably rival the New York City phone book.
But that's also an abstraction. The streets won't be less safe once Kelly steps down. They'll be roughly the same as they are now. Unless Kelly's already traveling with an armed entourage, there's really no reason he'd be less safe once retired. If anything, no longer being the figurehead of the NYPD should make him safer.
Supposedly, the Intelligence Division has some solid reasoning backing up this decision. According to information dug up by Matt Sledge at HuffPo, Ray Kelly has every reason to fear for his life.
[T]his May 17 declaration from Deputy Commissioner David Cohen in one of the NYPD surveillance lawsuits may provide some insight on the perceived threats to Kelly's safety.Frightening, except for the fact that Kelly's stalking death threat came in the form of a person not much suited for stalking/death-dealing. (Nor was he in the position to front the $65,000 needed to send a more able-bodied person to do the job.)
After the officers who shot Sean Bell were acquitted, Cohen wrote, surveillance was ramped up citywide "in response to the possibility of unlawful activity and allowed for informed decision-making on the likelihood of violence or other unlawful activity, as well as resource deployment decisions."
"The shooting and subsequent trial sparked demonstrations across New York City and widespread threats of violence against members of the NYPD, including Police Commissioner Kelly, who was the target of a murder plot motivated by the Sean Bell matter," Cohen wrote.
Sounds pretty serious. Until you learn who was behind the 2007 "plot": a 400-pound, imprisoned, impoverished wheelchair-bound "mentally ill" man with a rap sheet the length of your arm.As it stands now, Kelly will leave office with more bodyguards than any previous police chief since Howard Safir's retirement in 2000. Safir took 12 bodyguards with him, citing "vague threats." (Presumably, the same "vague threats" law enforcement and security agencies have used to weaken policies and expand power over the past decade-plus...) Not only that, but he'll be one of the few allowing the city to pick up the tab for post-career protective services.
True, this $1.5 million will be a drop in the bucket considering the size of NYC's budget, but considering the fact that Ray Kelly seems intent on making himself the sort of example other police chiefs shouldn't follow post-retirement, this should probably be opposed on sheer principle. Or, at the very least, his request should be trimmed down to a more reasonable number of bodyguards.
If Kelly's made an enemy of the people, there's really no one else he can point the finger at. If this means he'll be living in fear for the rest of his retirement, maybe he'll develop a bit of empathy for the thousands of minority citizens who have been harassed repeatedly over the last decade under the color of law.

Fr. Benedict Groeschel, a compelling speaker, talks about four aspects of prayer. Listening to God is a way of praying that hears and responds to the voice of God in the ordinary things and events of life. Praying with Scripture teaches the viewer to find the Word of God a source of spiritual nourishment. Prayer and Worship looks at the highest form of prayer, namely, liturgical prayer – the prayer of the Church. Prayer in Times of Distress shows how God listens to the cry of the person even when "everything seems to be going wrong."

More and more suburbs are cropping up as hubs.
Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday during the Civil War, in an attempt to restore peace and unity to the United States. In today's diverse America, Thanksgiving remains widely celebrated and crosses religious, racial, and ethnic lines (though some Native Americans consider Thanksgiving a Day of Mourning), with Americans from different regions of the U.S. and different countries around the globe bringing their own traditions to the Thanksgiving table.
This Thanksgiving, we wanted to see which neighborhoods best reflect American diversity. To do so, we identified the country's most diverse neighborhoods and metros using Census data on race and ethnicity. We measured diversity as the share of a metro area's or ZIP code's population in its largest racial or ethnic group: the smaller the share of the largest group, the more diverse the neighborhood is. For instance, an area that is 70 percent white (the largest group), 20 percent black, and 10 percent Asian is less diverse than one that is 60 percent Hispanic (the largest group), 30 percent white, and 10 percent black. In this example, the second neighborhood is more diverse because the largest group accounts for 60 percent of the population versus 70 percent in the first neighborhood (see note about Census racial and ethnic definitions at end of post).
America's Most Diverse Metros
Among the 100 largest metros, San Jose is the most diverse. San Jose is 35 percent white (the largest group), 31 percent Asian, 28 percent Hispanic, 3 percent two-or-more races, and 2 percent black. In no other metro does the largest group have a share smaller than 35 percent. New York ranks second, with a population that is 39 percent white, 28 percent Hispanic, 19 percent Black, and 12 percent Asian. Four of the ten most diverse large metros in the U.S. are in California: San Jose, Oakland, Orange County, and San Francisco. Only one – New York – is in the Northeast, and not one is in the Midwest.
|U.S. Metro
|Percent population in the largest group
|1. San Jose, California
|35 percent
|2. New York, New York
|39 percent
|3. Oakland, California
|40 percent
|4. Houston, Texas
|40 percent
|5. Honolulu, Hawaii
|43 percent
|6. Fort Lauderdale, Florida
|44 percent
|7. Orange County, California
|44 percent
|8. Memphis, Tennessee
|46 percent
|9. San Francisco, California
|46 percent
|10. Albuquerque, New Mexico
|47 percent
The map below shows the diversity index for counties across America. Diversity is highest in California and Hawaii, as well as much of the South. The least-diverse parts of the country (those with the highest share in the largest group), in contrast, are in New England and parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Among the 100 largest metros, Pittsburgh is the least diverse: it is 87 percent white, 8 percent black, 2 percent Asian, and 1 percent Hispanic. El Paso also stands out as America's least-diverse large metro that is not majority-White: El Paso is 82 percent Hispanic, 13 percent white, and 3 percent black. Hispanics are the majority in Fresno, San Antonio, and Miami as well. In none of the 100 largest metros are Blacks or Asians a majority. The metro with the highest percentage of blacks is Memphis, at 45 percent, and the metro with the highest percentage of Asians is Honolulu, at 43 percent.
America's Most Diverse Neighborhoods
The diversity people experience day-to-day, though, depends on how diverse their neighborhood is. If members of a racial or ethnic group tend to live near each other in specific neighborhoods, even diverse metros could have mostly segregated neighborhoods. So let's turn to diversity within neighborhoods, which we define as ZIP codes.
The most diverse neighborhood in America is the ZIP code 75038. Located just east of the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, this zip code includes the neighborhoods of Broadmoor Hills and Song in Irving, Texas. That zip code is 26 percent Asian, 25 percent black, 23 percent Hispanic, and 23 percent white. The next-most diverse neighborhoods are Queens Village (11428) in the borough of Queens, New York, and San Francisco's Treasure Island (94130).
|Zip Code
|Percent Population in Largest Group
|25.7 percent
|Queens Village
|New York
|26.4 percent
|Treasure Island
|San Francisco
|27.2 percent
|27.9 percent
|28.5 percent
|28.7 percent
|Rainier View
|28.8 percent
|29.1 percent
|29.2 percent
|South Natomas
|29.2 percent
What do these neighborhoods have in common? Although many, like Queens Village and Dorchester, are within the city limits, they are not the densest, most central, or best-known neighborhoods. None of the top-10 most diverse neighborhoods in the country is a familiar name to out-of-towners. Also, some of the most diverse neighborhoods in America are located in metro areas that aren't especially diverse overall, like Seattle (67 percent white) and Boston (69 percent white).
Expensive neighborhoods aren't very diverse. As blacks and Hispanics have lower incomes, on average, than whites, the neighborhoods with the most expensive housing tend to be largely white: New York's West Village (10014) is 83 percent white, as is Beverly Hills (90210). But so-called "hipster" neighborhoods are somewhat more mixed: Brooklyn's Williamsburg (11211) is 65 percent white and 26 percent Hispanic; Chicago's Wicker Park (60622) is 58 percent white, 29 percent Hispanic, and 7 percent black; San Francisco's Mission District (94110) is 42 percent white, 38 percent Hispanic, and 12 percent Asian; and Los Angeles's Silverlake (90026) is 57 percent Hispanic, 21 percent white, and 17 percent Asian.
Finally, while many non-diverse neighborhoods are almost exclusively white, non-white doesn't necessary mean diverse. Chicago's Englewood (60621) and two of Washington DC's Anacostia neighborhoods (20019 and 20020) are at least 95 percent black; Boyle Heights (90023) in Los Angeles and Miami's Hialeah (33012) are at least 95 percent Hispanic; and Monterey Park (91755) in Los Angeles and Flushing (11355) in Queens are both at least 70 percent Asian.

Choosing the Right Law School / Re: Just a Heads-Up: Law School Isn't Fun School« on: November 02, 2008, 05:38:01 PM »
Before you go to law school, realize that it is not easy. It is not kindergarden; there is no finger painting. In fact, it may be the opposite of easy: it may be hard.
Every night, I have lots of reading to do. Most of this reading is very dense; some would even argue that it's intentionally obfuscating because judges can't write for poo unless they're Kozinski, who's the f-ing man -- and there are a few other good writers on the 9th circuit, actually (see: Christian v. Mattel). Sometimes, I have to read as many as thirty, if not fifty, pages. In one night!
Law school, as you know, is graded on a curve, which means that you're graded against your classmates. They all study really really hard. Some people stay hours in the library. A few memorize a bunch of FRCP rules, which are also not easy.
Anyway, be sure you know what you're getting into.
Thirty to fifty pages in one night is hard? That sounds easy. The Wall Street journal end to end is a similar length.
so you think reading 30 to 50 pages of a casebook in one night would be as easy (or almost as easy) as reading an issue of the wall street journal? if you do, you're assuming that the density of the material in a casebook is similar to that of a periodical. you are very, very wrong (says a 1L stressed about her readings for tomorrow and is annoyed at the suggestion that she's stressing over something as easy as reading a magazine).

How to Keep Your Luxury Fan in Top Shape
If you're buying a top of the shelf item you're going to want to keep it in the best condition you can. We've created a little guide to help you with routine cleaning, dusting and maintenance.
Dusting. You should routinely dust your fan every few months to help keep clean air flowing around your home and to keep your machine working its best. To dust simply use an extremely soft dry cloth and rub down the fan blades. We recommend putting an old sheet or newspaper down on the ground to catch the dust.
Cleaning fan. To clean your fan first make sure the breaker to your fixture is turned off. Create a solution using a mild soap and warm water. Dampen a soft wash cloth in the solution (wring it out so it's not soaked) and thoroughly clean fan blades and fixture. Make sure the fan is completely dry before turning back on. Most ceiling fans should be cleaned once or twice a year.
Cleaning Remote. Dampen (do not soak) soft cloth in rubbing alcohol. Gently rub the remote front to back. This will help keep gross germs from traveling around your remote and family.

"Do you have anything to declare?"
I get asked this question every time I return to Canada, and every time I have to stifle a giggle. This is mostly because I'm terribly immature. But seriously, every time I cross the border, I have to fight from making a silly comment that's sure to send me straight into the loving arms of Canadian or American security personnel.
On our way home from Nashville this past weekend, Emily and I were laughing about the things we could say when asked this question. Here are a few of the answers we thought were pretty funny:
- "We had a wonderful time, thanks for asking!"
- "I'm a little gassy, sorry."
- "Bankruptcy!"
- "Do you know they've got beer in their grocery stores?"
- "A monkey and a jetpack."
- "I forgot my passport, can I just show it to you next time?"
- "I love lamp."
- "The only things we bought were a bunch of Guns… [uncomfortably long pause] and Roses t-shirts."
- "These aren't my kids." (See also, "These aren't my parents.")
- "Not really, do you?"
What about you? What are some ways you've always wanted to answer the declaration question at the border?

White House says Omarosa claim of Trump racism is 'false'
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) - The White House is slamming a new book by ex-staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman, calling her "a disgruntled former White House employee."
The Guardian newspaper reports that in the memoir, Manigault-Newman labels Trump a "racist" and claims she's been told there are tapes of him using the N'-word repeatedly while filming "The Apprentice" reality series on which she appeared.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says in a statement Friday, "Instead of telling the truth about all the good President Trump and his administration are doing to make America safe and prosperous," Manigault-Newman's book is "riddled with lies and false accusations."
Sanders also says, "It's sad that a disgruntled former White House employee is trying to profit off these false attacks." She's criticizing the media for giving her a platform.

Technical Paper
Using a Sweating Manikin, Controlled by a Human Physiological Model, to Evaluate Liquid Cooling Garments
An Advanced Automotive Manikin (ADAM), is used to evaluate liquid cooling garments (LCG) for advanced space suits for extravehicular applications and launch and entry suits. The manikin is controlled by a finite-element physiological model of the human thermoregulatory system. ADAM's thermal response to a baseline LCG was measured.The local effectiveness of the LCG was determined. These new thermal comfort tools permit detailed, repeatable measurements and evaluation of LCGs. Results can extend to other personal protective clothing including HAZMAT suits, nuclear/biological/ chemical protective suits, fire protection suits, etc.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, some low quality grain, controversial filler
This product is a veterinary diet, but is not indicated for the treatment of disease. Our comments relate solely to our opinion of the ingredients used in this product and are made on equal footing with any other product not marketed under a 'veterinary diet' label.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat ingredient in the food.
The main grains in the food are rice, barley, oats and wheat. With so many grain ingredients, this food appears very heavy in grain and light in meat content. Rice, barley and oats are decent quality grains, but the use of wheat is a negative. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allegies in dogs. In gluten form, this ingredient is a low quality filler. It is the dried residue from wheat after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
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. Tomato pomace is further filler.

I threw that out to commenters here. Eseld Sosustow wrote:All Thunderfoot is saying is "we should be able to give safety advice to women without being accused of victim blaming. That's a lot more effective than 'tell men not to rape.'What's wrong with that?
Well, it's patronizing, for one. So nothing else considered, that's one thing that's wrong with "giving advice".Commenting on Thunderfoot's "advice" in general, Gilliel said:
Second, it's ignorant because it underestimates the scope and scale of the average woman's experience when it comes to being bombarded by unwanted sexual attention REGARDLESS of any kinds of "precaution". In that sense, it's also presumptuous, since the vast, vast majority of these givers of "advice" don't really understand it in their position. (I'm speaking of men here, mostly, if that wasn't obvious.)
Third, we've already heard all of the advice any of them could ever give. It's like coincidentally being named Steve Jobs and having to deal with people inevitably making stupid Apple jokes for the rest of your life. We've heard it all before, keep the advice (or jokes) to yourself. So simply being obnoxious is another reason.
Lastly, I would have to turn the question around and ask, "What's wrong with trying to educate men and women about consent, the matter of rape and sexual assault, and with trying to enforce a better cultural standard for the treatment of women and their autonomy? What's wrong with that?" I know that's something of a copout by answering a question with a question, but seriously. If the only answer is some defeatist attitude like "rapists gonna rape, bro", then these people can just stop talking. That's their answer, they are no help to the discourse. End of story.
Well, yes, it's hard to decide whom TF hates more, men (rapists who can't control themselves) or women. But since women are getting the short end of the stick, I'll go with women.
But it's such a nice catch-22: If you take one more precaution than TF deems reasonable you're a paranoid bitch who thinks all men are rapists. If something happens to you, well, you obviously didn't take enough steps to protect yourself, stupid bitch.
And it should also be noted that the steps we take to minimise risk already greatly diminish our joy in life.
Tonight, I'll work at a location quite near. The job will finish somewhere around midnight with a drink. Now, I will not drink. I will not drink because my car will be parked quite near in the light where there are many people and I will drive the mile home. If I were my husband, or if my husband were with me, I'd simly enjoy a glass of free champaign and walk. And I'm fortunate: I have a car I can use.And DEEN wrote:
"For comparison, when I go into the wilderness, I know there are predators there. It's just an inherent risk that I incur when I enter that environment."And Steve M highlighted part of the Predators Redux article linked to in an earlier part.
Of course, entering the wilderness is entirely optional, your risks are minimized by only spending limited amounts of time there, and you can simply leave when you feel like you'd want to let your guard down a bit. None of this applies to the environment that women have to deal with.
He quotes from Lisak's report, one of the most important findings:
Rather than focusing prevention efforts on the rapists, it would seem far more effective to focus those efforts on the far more numerous bystanders – men and women who are part of the social and cultural milieu in which rapes are spawned and who can be mobilized to identify perpetrators and intervene in high-risk situations.The main thing I take away from Thunderf00t's effort (apart from the obvious) is that in discussing rape and consent, analogies are not only useless but actually counter-productive - and it's telling that people like Thunderf00t are so keen to use them so often.
Teach Men Not To Rape--because not only does it target people who don't know about consent but it removes the social license to operate that serial rapists rely on.
Teach Men Not To Rape so bystanders can recognize and call out bad behavior.
Dammitall, that's SUPER IMPORTANT, and the more Thunderf00t complains about it the more important it becomes.
There's no good reason to keep comparing rape to other crimes like burglary and theft. Under the pretence of "simplifying" the issue, all they're really doing is derailing.
Rape and sexual assault are crimes unlike most others. The crime is so tangled up in ideas of male entitlement to sex; the assertion of manhood by way of sexual dominance or conquest; the idea that women exist to provide pleasure to men; fear and subsequent shaming of active female sexuality (and probably a bunch of other ingrained sexist stuff I haven't considered) -
that it bears no relation at all to breaking into a house or taking someone's wallet from them in the street. And it becomes even more ridiculous when predatory animals like mountain lions are brought into the discussion.
EDIT: Check this comment for a good idea of acts you could use as metaphors for rape, if you really really need to. There's also a good video by the1janitor turning Tf00t's Wonka meme thumbnail against him.
But in future, if a person insists on introducing an analogy when this topic comes up, I'm going to take that as a red flag that their real interest is in avoiding productive discourse.
And that concludes this somewhat pompous summing up.
Thunderf00t is aware of this series of posts, but I don't think he'll be answering any of them any time soon.
Rebecca Watson has made a nice video response to Tf00t
And so has the1janitor.

"Instead of attacking folks who work for a living and pay their way, Romney should be respecting their hard work. That's the job of a president. To lift people up, not to tear them down."
—Vice President Biden in Chesterfield, Virginia
Upon hearing this line, the crowd at the Chesterfield County Fairgrounds rose to its feet and applauded. Here's what a few folks in the audience had to say about why they've got President Obama and Vice President Biden's backs this election:
"I go to community college and I benefit from Pell Grants. President Obama's education policies help open up doors of opportunity for young people like me."
—Kyla, a student from Chester
"I know Barack Obama stands with our veterans because of this jobs bill that addresses veterans unemployment specifically. As a veteran, I understand that need."
—Joseph, a veteran from Petersburg
"Because of health care reform, my 24-year-old son is able to stay on my health care plan while he finishes grad school. He can focus on studying, instead of what will happen if he gets sick."
—Cynthia, a mom from Chesterfield
"I show my support for the Obama-Biden ticket because, as a woman, it's only President Obama and Vice President Biden who are looking out for women: equal pay for equal work, more healthcare choices—they've accomplished a lot."
—Eucharia from Henrico
"I signed up to volunteer because we have to get the word about why this election is important. I'm fired up."
—Ruby from Chesterfield
If you're fired up too, sign up to volunteer today.

These are very, very good. Flank steak marinated in chipotle, lime, garlic, and cilantro is used not for fajitas, as one might expect flank steak marinated in chipotle, lime, garlic, and cilantro to be used for…but for fajita nachos, a nice, unexpected twist.
Make these for the Super Bowl! Serve them with plenty of guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
You'll make lots and lots of friends. Promise.
Throw the olive oil and chipotle peppers (about four or so) into a food processor or a blender.
Mix it all together until it's lovely and combined and colorful.
Throw the flank steak into a large Ziploc…
And pour in the marinade. Squish it around and make sure the meat's all coated, then refrigerate it for at least 24 hours. The flavor will be out of this world.
This is more like 36 hours later, and boy oh boy, am I excited.
Oh my goodness gracioius. This is flank steak. See that beautiful grain? I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it!
Remove the meat from the pan, set it on a cutting board, and cover with foil while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
And throw them into a skillet. Cook them over high heat…
Until they're soft with nice, flavorful black bits.
Next, slice up about half of the flank steak. Look at that gorgeous, gorgeous piece of meat!
Then cut the slices into smaller (bite-size) pieces.
Note: you can use the other half of the flank steak to make another batch of nachos, or you can just save it in the fridge and snack on it over the next few days.
Cold flank steak out of the fridge = Heaven.
Next, throw the cooked veggies onto a cutting board and chop them into smaller pieces.
Throw some sturdy tortilla chips onto a large ovenproof platter or cookie sheet.
Sprinkle them generously with grated cheese. If I'd had any Monterey Jack, I would have used some of it, too.
Pop it into a preheated oven just long enough to melt the cheese but not so long that the chips will brown.
Sprinkle on a bunch of the chopped cooked veggies.
Then sprinkle on a bunch of the chopped meat.
Pop this into the oven for a minute or so, but watch it! We only want to warm up the ingredients; we definitely don't want the meat to cook any more. A minute or so in the oven should be fine.
I took the liberty of whipping up some very quick guacamole…
I serve this like it is, but with plenty of sour cream and salsa on the side. The beef is so deliciously flavorful and the guacamole is a cool, creamy complement.
Make these for the Super Bowl this year! You'll absolutely love 'em.
Beef Fajita Nachos
January 31, 2011 364
- Prep Time:
- 24 Hours
- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Cook Time:
- 12 Minutes
- Servings:
- 12 Servings
- Flank Steak
- 1 whole Flank Steak
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 2 whole Limes, Juiced
- 4 whole Canned Chipotle Peppers, With A Little Sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic, Peeled
- 1 whole Handful Of Cilantro
- 2 whole Yellow Onion
- 2 whole Bell Peppers, Cored And Sliced (can Use Different Colors)
- Olive Oil, For Frying
- Sturdy Tortilla Chips
- 8 ounces, weight Cheese, Grated (cheddar, Jack, Pepper Jack, Etc)
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
When ready to make the nachos, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan (or you can use a skillet). Drizzle a little olive oil on the grill and grill the meat over very high heat, about 4 minutes per side. (Turn 45 degrees halfway through on both sides to get nifty grill marks.) Remove steak from grill and set aside to rest.
In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until vegetables are somewhat soft and starting to get black bits. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice half of the flank steak into strips against the grain, then chop slices into smaller bites. Place sauteed veggies on a cutting board and roughly chop to get them into smaller pieces.
Arrange tortilla chips on a large ovenproof platter (or cookie sheet.) Sprinkle plenty of cheese all over the top. Place platter in oven for 3 minutes or so, just long enough to melt the cheese (but not burn the chips.) Remove from oven, then generously sprinkle peppers, onions, and chopped steak all over the top. Return to oven for no more than another minute---just long enough to heat up the meat and peppers (but not cook the meat all the way through.)
Remove from oven and plop guacamole all over the top. Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream.
Use the rest of the meat for more nachos...or make real fajitas!

Simple life is a nice and quite hotel. Rooms ( superior) were spacious and clean. Very nice bathroom and balcony. No warddrobe and bad light in bathroom and for reading in bed. Girls and boys in reception, bar and pick up were very helpfull and kind. Poolarea were Almost exotic and very nice bit with a nasty smell of sewer. Breakfast was ok - nothing fancy but enough to choose from. Easy 300 m to white sandy beach with very shallow water. 7/11, restaurants, bars, small shops onde minut away, but the hotel is still quite situated though. Would stay here again.

This was my second time staying at Simple Life. Location is great for beach access and a variety of nearby restaurants. He staff are great, rooms comfortable and reasonably priced. Family has a fairly long history of going to KT as children did their PADI training there about 20 years ago, daughter got married on KT and the whole family enjoys the snorkelling and laid back style of the island. Samui is too commercial and expensive! Simple Life makes you feel at home! As Arnie says... I ll be back!

booked through search engine. once paid received email that we had to pay extra as hotel did not have this room category after all. so had to pay more for superior room. hotel was going to contact us with details of pick up once we arrived by boat from the mainland. The hotel did not do this, Once arrived at the hotel they were friendly. Room was large but not well equipped. did not have night stands although plenty of room. cleaning ladies were very good and plenty of clean towels. breakfast is awful. tea and coffee from a hotplate and not drinkable. Food the same every morning. even the local fruit is not sweet. just from buffet. they start clearing away 10 min before time. There is plenty of accommodation on the island and this one is definitely expensive for what you get. when we left they refused to call taxi or take us back to the port. their argument was that we must buy boat ticket from them. however they did not sell our type of ticket. hotel is on a very busy road. once they understood we were not buying from them they were not so friendly. there is a swimming pool but we did not use it.
Reservation service:
we booked a room which was accepted and money processed. then we were told we had to pay more money for a different room. not correct. should have suggested to return our money but did not.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Going to HK would be the best bet I reckon, especially if you were loo
A:Going to HK would be the best bet I reckon, especially if you were looking for a church wedding. Chinese weddings are pretty grim IMO - you go to a barren govt dept with souless officials and navigate red tape so some guy can give you a red stamp and a marriage book. You get expensive pictures taken of you both posing in places you'd never go to in everyday life that is somehow supposed to represent your wedding, then a while later it's off to a restaurant where a game show host kind of guy makes sure it's as tacky as possible while the guests eat as fast as they can so they can leave as soon as they finish eating and gave you money. Hell, I'd go to Thailand or the Philippines and get married in Paradise. -- Stiggs

"I need some ladies up here," declared Howlin' Wolf, as channeled through Rick Stone, at Black Ensemble Theatre on Sunday. Such moments of audience participation are not unusual at Black Ensemble, a theater long focused on the provision of a darn good time. And this particular electric bluesman, also known as Chester Arthur Burnett, certainly appealed to the ladies — even if he was a one-woman man, and a heck of a savvy financial planner, himself.
Still, such moments in the theater usually require the performer, or a flunky, to head out into the house and cajole and persuade. Not here. No sir. Stone had barely combined "need" and "ladies" when a plethora of women rushed up to the stage en masse, all for a chance to dance with the man.
That's testament both to the Wolf's appeal (he howled at the night sky long before vampire shows got big) and to Stone's charm. Stone, whom I last saw play this role in 2003, does not quite do what he did back then physically (who could?), but he more than compensates with the increased gravitas of age. If you could imagine a powder-blue suit, tailored for an elongated gentleman, hung on a coat hanger and then animated and made to dance, you have a sense of Stone's thing.
His upper-body stays still. His lower regions jive. But underneath all of that, Stone has a sweet, soft tenor that provides a crucial counterpoint to the howls and that were, overall, more important to that signature Howlin' Wolf sound.
Although Stone is back — no way to do this one without him — the show itself is quite different from that in 2003. Rueben Echoles now directs the piece, as written by Jackie Taylor, and he's added video and a lot more fluidity to the enterprise. It's tighter, too. The shtick here is that this is a memory play (its no "Glass Menagerie," but it works) and that Howlin' Wolf's famous rival at Chess Records, Muddy Waters (the lively Dwight Neal), keeps intruding into the yarn. That allows for lots of good-natured one-upmanship, and a recreation of the famous European tour of these stars allows for lots of concert-style presentations, all of which are a blast.
Technically, the show is called "Ain't No Crying the Blues (In the Memory of Howlin' Wolf)", but what you really are buying is the Howlin' Wolf Show. And the Rick Stone show. Ask for either, and I bet they'll sell you a ticket.
When: Through Aug. 11
Where: Black Ensemble Theatre, 4450 N. Clark St.
Running time: 2 hours

Tina Cassara received a BA in urban studies, emphasis in sociology from Barnard College, Columbia University. Following graduation, she moved to Viques, in the Juan region of Peru, and studied with Francisca Mayer from Black Mountain College, teaching natural dyes derived from indigenous plants to local weavers. Her travels continued through the Collao Altiplano region of Bolivia. While living in New York City, Cassara was co-editor of Sing Out! magazine before attending Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she received an MFA from the fiber department. Cassara has since conducted extensive research into women's labor in the American textile industry, issues of European migration and relocation, and more recently, the assigned value of labor in historically women-dominated textile industries in the South. In the late 1990s, Cassara began exploring the history of textile production. A strong advocate for organized labor, she began conducting interviews in LaGrange, GA, and nearby mill towns, speaking with retired textile workers, factory owners, surviving union organizers, and members of textile heritage societies. In 2008–09, Cassara was awarded a sabbatical to further her research in the network of textile heritage societies, including travel to Cooleemee, NC, working with organizers of the Textile Heritage Initiative and members of the Troop County Historical Society. Cassara's research also continues in Scranton, PA, where she is examining documents and photographs related to the growth of the mining and silk textile industries

Day 9
Fundamentals (pick-offs and run-down plays), batting practice and infield drills were the key parts of Day 9 at Carpenter Field today.
During BP, a group of pitchers practiced sliding under the watchful eyes of Davey Lopes. Sometimes this exercise can bring some humor. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
Catchers ended their day at Bright House Field catching pop ups. Coaches preferred the background of a ballpark as to the open spaces of Carpenter Field.
Two more days of Carpenter Field and then the 34-game spring training schedule begins, Florida portion. First game is Wednesday afternoon at Bradenton (Pirates). As Todd Zolecki reported in The Zo Zone blog yesterday, Jamie Moyer and Joe Blanton will be the first two pitchers against the Pirates. It will be sort of a home game for Jamie who lives in Bradenton and commutes daily to Clearwater. Scott Eyre has the same commute.
First Bright House Field game is Thursday afternoon (Blue Jays). Workers spent the day positioning vinyl advertising billboards on the green outfield walls.
One of the advertisements on the scoreboard is the St. Petersburg Times. Strangely, there hasn't been one word in the Times sports section about the Phillies. Today marks the fifth consecutive shutout. If you want to follow the Phillies, bring your computers to Florida and check out phillies.com. Zolecki will keep you well informed. Scott Palmer will also have some interesting video features.
Camp Notes
A nutritionist will speak to the players at 8:30 tomorrow morning . . . The annual team golf tournament will take place Tuesday afternoon. Best to watch the comedy channel as opposed to the golf channel . . . Jimmy Rollins (Nike and Dick's Sporting Goods), Cole Hamels (New Era) and Mike Schmidt (Turtle Wax) have been involved in commercial shoots . . . Radio stations from the Philadelphia market will be visiting camp and going live from Clearwater. Will keep you posted.

While fog has been a daily hassle in the lowlands, clear skies, sunshine and warm temperatures have been occurring daily on the slopes of Mount Rainier. With the two-week government shutdown behind us, Mount Rainier Superintendent Randy King invites visitors to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the mountain before conditions change. < /p>
Most areas of the park still remain open to public access such as Longmire, Paradise, Carbon River, Ohanapecosh and White River. The Superintendent advises that the White River Road will remain open to vehicles through the coming weekend for visitors to enjoy, but will close at the end of day on October 27 to vehicle access. Bicyclists and hikers may still access the area, including the Sunrise Road, but all facilities are closed. Other closures include the Mowich Lake Road which has snow, and Paradise Inn which closed for the season October 1. The Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center has changed to its winter schedule, operating weekends and holidays only. Some snow is on the ground in the Paradise area from the early October storm, but trails are accessible.< /p>
State Routes 410 and 123 on the east side of the park remain open, as does the Stevens Canyon Road within the park. < /p>
At Longmire, the National Park Inn is open seven days a week and offers lodging, a full restaurant and gift shop. Fall is a great time for a quiet weekend getaway at the mountain.< /p>
Trying to recover from the impact of the two-week government shutdown, businesses surrounding the park are open and anxious to greet park visitors once again, especially with the beautiful fall weather. Soon the winter snows will arrive, and these businesses will prepare for slower times. For information on what's available at businesses on the east and west side of the park visit the following websites: < /p>
visitrainier.com, www.mt-rainier.com< /a>, www.staycrystal.com,
www.destinationpackwood.com, < /u>www.minerallake.com, or www.mtrainierguestservices.com< /a>< /p>
For current information check the park's web page at www.nps.gov /mora< /a>. Webcams showing current conditions at Paradise and Longmire are located at this site along with information for planning your trip. Information can also be obtained through the Mount Rainier Facebook and Twitter sites, or by calling the park directly at 360-569-2211.< /p>

|Phosphotransferase system (PTS) - Pseudomonas stutzeri RCH2
|The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) is a major mechanism used by bacteria for uptake of carbohydrates, particularly hexoses, hexitols, and disaccharides, where the source of energy is from PEP. The PTS consists of two general components, enzyme I (EI) and histidine phosphocarrier protein (HPr), and of membrane-bound sugar specific permeases (enzymes II). Each enzyme II (EII) complex consists of one or two hydrophobic integral membrane domains (domains C and D) and two hydrophilic domains (domains A and B). EII complexes may exist as distinct proteins or as a single multidomain protein. The PTS catalyzes the uptake of carbohydrates and their conversion into their respective phosphoesters during transport. There are four successive phosphoryl transfers in the PTS. Initial autophosphorylation of EI, using PEP as a substrate, is followed by transfer of the phosphoryl group from EI to HPr. EIIA catalyzes the self-phosphoryl transfer from HPr after which the phosphoryl group is transferred to histidine or cysteine residues of EIIB. The sugar is transported through the membrane-bound EIIC and is phosphorylated by the appropriate sugar-specific EIIB.

SOCHI, Russia - Erik Karlsson scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 25 shots, lifting Sweden over Finland 2-1 on Friday and into the gold-medal game at the Sochi Olympics.
The 2006 Olympic champions will face the United States or Canada on Sunday.
The Finns will play the loser of the second semifinal for bronze on Saturday.
All the scoring came in the second period, with Finland going ahead 1-0 on Olli Jokinen's goal from a sharp angle to the left of Lundqvist.
Sweden's Loui Eriksson tied the game by finishing off a sweet sequence of passes midway through the period. Karlsson made it 2-1 with a slap shot from the middle of the ice just inside the blue line with 3:34 left.

Authentic touches, solid cast delightful at North Coast Rep
Sarah, the photojournalist at the center of Donald Margulies' drama "Time Stands Still," is a lot like Sgt. James, the bomb defuser in the Oscar-winning film "The Hurt Locker."
Both of these cool-as-cucumber characters have been traumatized by war violence in the Middle East, but they're adrenaline junkies who find the power, heroism and close-up danger their jobs provide far more fulfilling than a domesticated life in the U.S.
"Time Stands Still" is the latest Margulies play to debut at North Coast Repertory Theatre under the supple hand of director David Ellenstein. His smooth, naturalistic staging of the two-hour play and a solid cast make for an entertaining and thought-provoking evening.
Mhari Sandoval gives a spiky, warts-and-all performance as Sarah, who returns to New York from an unnamed war-torn country after a near-death encounter with a roadside bomb. Covered from head to toe in shrapnel scars (realistically designed by Peter Herman), she struggles to recover her health and her troubled relationship with longtime work and life partner Jamie, a war correspondent (Francis Gercke's perfectly calibrated performance as her passive, forgiving, less-accomplished mate dovetails nicely with Sandoval's brittleness and flashes of rage).
Shellshocked by a grisly bombing, Jamie left the war zone five weeks before Sarah's accident. Back home, he's consumed by guilt and increasingly determined to start a new life. Instead of war horror, he now gets his kicks from fake movie horror as an entertainment writer, and he covets the sweet, uncomplicated life shared by Richard, Sarah's middle-aged editor, and his bubbly young bride, Mandy, a gentle-hearted events planner in her early 20s.
The idealistic, undereducated Mandy is a perfect foil for Sarah, and their faceoff over a photographer's role as passive observer to extreme violence has some real teeth. But what's really rewarding is watching the realistic interplay among the actors as these four very different characters.
Stacey Hardke is adorably fresh as Mandy, the "fixer" in Richard's life. And as Richard, John Nutten is sweetly awed by her positivity and her steady maturation over the six or so months that the play covers.
Gercke's Jamie flits around the apartment like a fussy mother hen, eager to please everyone but himself. And Sandoval finds layer after layer of her flawed, privileged, uncompromising character Sarah, whose preference for the frozen, pristine images she photographs over the messiness of real life gives the play its title.
There are few surprises in "Time Stands Still," but the characters are well drawn and the dialogue is smart and crisp. It's also a well-designed production. Marty Burnett's New York apartment set (dressed by Annie Bornhurst) is exceptionally authentic, right down to the bike rack, mismatched furniture, distressed brick walls and globally influenced décor.
Sonia Elizabeth Lerner's costumes also perfectly accentuate the differences between Sarah and Mandy. Chris Luessman designed sound, Matthew Novotny designed lighting and Jay Mower was assistant director.
