It is one of the first rules of football management that on first taking up a post a new boss must make clear that anything that goes wrong under his watch is the fault of the previous regime. It is a tactic that has allowed Mark Hughes to maintain an elevated reputation in the game despite delivering very little.
No doubt when he stages his first press conference as Ipswich manager, Mick McCarthy will make it known very early that it is not his team he is picking. Not me guv will be the default excuse. Everything that goes wrong is down to the lot before.
But in Brendan Rodgers's case, you have to think he might have a point. This week the Liverpool coach played his second string in the Capital One Cup tie with Swansea. And he found out quite a lot about them. Specifically that, despite banking more each month than the entire Greek state, they were not up to much.
A 3-1 defeat to the club he walked out on must have made Rodgers smart. But the show put on by some of his players will have hurt more. One long-time Anfield observer I spoke to said he had never seen a worse performance in a red shirt than the one Joe Cole gave in the first half. And Stewart Downing's uninterested shuffle on the wing was not far behind.
Rodgers certainly pulled no punches afterwards, giving swingeing analysis of the previous regime's profligacy which has left him with a bunch of over-paid mediocrities instead of a proper squad. These were players on huge income given an opportunity to demonstrate why they should be playing every week singularly failing to do so.
Now, it might be argued that they fact they didn't perform was demonstration of their manager's inability to motivate. Indeed there are those who suggest that the more seasoned players at Anfield have quickly seen through Rodgers's jargon-filled bluster and the only people who are listening to him now are the youngsters, too naïve and too star-struck to recognise that he is talking guff.
Except when you look at how Liverpool played in the derby against Everton three days before Wednesday's embarrassment, there seemed to be no shortage of effort and application from the first choice players. Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger: these are not the sort of characters you would imagine easily fooled. Yet they were all excellent against one of the Premier League's form teams.
And Joe Allen, the one genuine player Rodgers actually has brought in (the jury remains out on Fabio Borini) looked more than comfortable in a red shirt. Meanwhile Jamie Carragher, hardly a starry-eyed beginner, is known to be an enthusiastic supporter of Rodgers's training and preparation.
The truth is the manager is right. He is confronted daily by the legacy of past errors. Consider this: in 2007 Rafa Benitez signed Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano and Skrtel. Now that is what you call a profitable bit of buying. In the five years since, Suarez, Glen Johnson and Allen have also arrived at the club.
The trouble is, so have the following: Robbie Keane, Alberto Aquilani, Cole, Downing, Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll, Charlie Adam and Luis Enrique. Under the stewardship of the now mercifully departed Damien Comolli that surely represents one of the worst buying sprees in football history, a scattergun splurge of incoherence.
Eight hugely expenses purchases (or in the case of Cole a freebie on humungo wages) who should be forming the backbone of the team. Instead none of them are regulars. And on Wednesday we were given ample evidence to appreciate why they remain unpicked.
Realising quite what an inheritance he received (and able only to remove Aquilani and Adam permanently from his payroll) Rodgers has been obliged to play youngsters to plug the gaps in what should — given the investment — be a significant squad.
This weekend Liverpool play Newcastle. What a contrast they represent. In the time Liverpool have been throwing away their cash, Newcastle have been building a proper side. And on the cheap too, brought in after proper research and scouting. While raising his eyes to the heavens at what he has on his books, Rodgers would cheerfully employ at least half a dozen of the players Alan Pardew has at his disposal. Krul, Coloccini, Tiote, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Ba and Cisse: that is what you call a bit of business.
The irony is that the hierarchy who oversaw the Comolli disaster pride themselves on their astuteness in the market. The Fenway Sports Group came to Anfield singing the merits of buying cheap and adding value. Rodgers will be hoping that come January they start practising what they preached. The trouble is, he will already know it is too late to salvage anything this season.

This is no big surprise but giving Campfield this much column space is disgusting. Santorum is much closer to the "I hate women and their civil, medical right to privacy, legal rights" to the disgusting 'religious opinions of Stacey'. And as for Big Oil, it was announced last week in the Business section that Pilot Oil has had the highest profits EVER and that it is now investing in 'fracking equipment" to poison ground water seeking oil and gas here...wonder how much oil subsidies it earns from our tax dollars? just sayin.
The rightwing war on women, war on the poor, continues.. Santorum worrys about what consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes, or dictates womens healthcare, from a bigoted perspective..
The republican talking points wants to blame Obama for high gas prices.. Yet a new law, stopping futures market speculation, by big banks, hedgefunds, and big oil itself, is being blocked by the republicans till after the election..
20 billion dollars a quarter, isnt enough profits for the oil companys, so the republicans rob grandmaw, cut, gut and destroy social security, to preserve tax cuts for millionaires, big oil, WallStreet, CEO's and corporations..
Republicans are destroying the economy to blame Obama, blocking legislation that would help quicken the recovery..

My Kingston - Paul Campbell
Actor, Fine Artist, and Interior Decorator
Sunday, September 22, 2013
What's your first memory of Kingston?
My first distinct memory of Kingston was Christmas morning, waking up early and travelling with my mother downtown to East Queen Street. There were vendors on both sides of the street, and while it was dark, lights were everywhere. I thought it was wonderful.
What's the most memorable meal you have had in Kingston?
Stewed peas and rice from my mother, Beulah, who was an excellent cook.
What places of interest would you suggest to a first-time visitor to Kingston?
I would recommend the National Gallery of Jamaica, and Devon House, to see a little of our past. I worked as a young lad at the National Gallery when it was housed at Devon House, so I am somewhat aware of the history.
What is your beverage of choice?
I like home-grown juices like tamarind or June plum.
What cologne are you splashing?
I use two scents... Patchouli and Dolce and Gabbana Blue.
What was your last major splurge?
I took a trip to Japan three years ago and splurged on Japanese artefacts.
Who's your dream co-star and director?
I have always wanted to work with Denzel Washington as I'm a fan of his work. As far as directors are concerned, I would like to work with Martin Scorsese.
What's next for you?
As a fine artist, I am in a travelling exhibition. I open my next exhibition at the Jamaican consulate in New York City on November 26. As an actor, I am looking forward to a new production called Hot Steppers, which will be shot in Atlanta later this year.
Share the fave places from your black book.
I like South Beach in Miami as I lived in Florida for a while. I love Stockwell in London as I have friends there.
What are your beloved haunts in Jamaica?
When I want to disappear, there's a villa outside Runaway Bay I go to called Surfside, and now I can't go there anymore (laughs). I love Trident in Portland. And I also love Negril very much because it feels separate and apart from everything else. Sometimes you are in Negril and it doesn't feel like you're in Jamaica.
Who is your inspiration?
My mother, who is no longer with us, is my total inspiration, and has always been.
What was the defining moment that set you on the path to becoming a thespian?
There was no epiphany whatsoever. I grew up in a depressed area and in order to escape, I would use the art of acting.
If you had to choose, which of your Jamaican-based films is your favourite?
The Lunatic. There was more preparation into that. I spent some time on the streets living the life of an insane man. I am a method actor so I go through that kind of thing.
How do you rank Daniel Day-Lewis, who is known for his own method style?
Day-Lewis was very good in preparing for his role in My Left Foot, but I prefer Peter O'Toole, who went into the desert to live with the Bedouins for a number of months for Lawrence of Arabia.
You've been off the Jamaican film radar and noted that you "go where the money is". Care to clue us in to where that is?
It's the work that brings the money, and right now most of the work is in the United States of America, and so that is where I am living. After doing The Lunatic, it took seven years for them to give me a call again for Dancehall Queen.
Viscerally, Jamaican films have for the most part perpetuated the violent and depressed side of our country. Should we shift focus to other subjects?
Of course! Look at the brilliance of our country. Why not a story about Usain Bolt? This is why I am so pissed with black America. They are always talking about slavery...yeah, you've been enslaved, you never forget it, but you move on. I think Jamaica has transcended in so many ways in different fields and we are still in the 'Yow, my yute' and stabbings and shootings. There are eloquent lawyers, doctors, and others who have stories to be told.
When last did you have a good laugh?
My youngest son is 14 and being groomed for the National Football League. When I go to pick him up, I watch him practise. He was ribbing me a few days ago about my aging and that Daddy used to be this muscular guy. He said I'm getting soft, so I did something that made him realise I was still very much in charge.
...And a good cry?
On the set of my last film, The Heart Of Summer, which I produced. I play a Christian father to a 17-year-old daughter who has a hole in her heart. It was a scene where she lay dying, so that was my good cry.
What about tears away from the camera?
I do cry, but I haven't for some time. I've been too busy working.
Offer us your proposal to transform the bureaucratic bungling of making films in Jamaica.
First of all, you have to put together incentives, very much like how there are ads to "Come to Jamaica to bathe in the sun, sand and sea". You need to talk about what we have as incentives, what our people are like, and that we are educated in having films shot here. It is critical to educate the local people as to what it means to have all films come here and making them realise what the big picture will be. Also having in place people who understand that after a film is made, what it means to get a good deal as far is distribution is concerned.
Are there plans to return to The Rock to work on home-based projects?
I have approached two different administrations. I really would love to come back to be the actor, but more so to be the teacher. I have been invited by the Northern Caribbean University to do workshops, which I have done. I also do that in the United States; the last time I was at Mount Vernon High School and was given a proclamation from the mayor. I am interested in passing it on and paying it forward.

Excellent service from the Hoodaki agent who was very polite, patient and professional. I rang looking for a last minute booking to the USA for 3 people within a specified budget. He kept in contact with me giving me updates on what was available and finally got me the flights i wanted. He gave very clear instructions on the booking requirements and fulfilled my requests promptly. Keep up the good work. I will certainly be using you again and recommending you to family and friends.

ZURICH Nov 15 (Reuters) - Engineering firm ABB on Thursday appointed veteran employee Eric Elzvik as its new chief financial officer, filling a vacancy left by the outgoing Michel Demare.
Elzvik, 52, is currently in charge of finances at ABB's discrete automation and motion unit. He joined the firm in 1984 and has worked in Sweden, Singapore and Switzerland.
It was announced last month that Michel Demare was leaving to become chairman at agrochemicals company Syngenta.

Simmons (about Kathy's vision): What she had was simply a post-operative impression.
Rhodes: Right down to the exact description of the woman and the place she was murdered?
Rhodes: You know what your trouble is, Woody? You want answers before I've even found the questions.
Kathy: Albert, have I said thank you to you?
Albert: Maybe a hundred times.
Simmons: Give me some proof, doctor.
Rhodes: I can't give you blood smears or test tubes or even X-rays. Proof in psychic phenomena has almost always been after the fact.
Simmons: She has been blind for nearly ten years. I will not jeopardize that.
Rhodes: What good is sight if she's dead?
Simmons: Do you mean you buy this story of his, lieutenant?
Woods: What do I know? I'm a cop. I take help wherever I can get it.
Albert: You drove a long way to but into Kathy's business, Mr. Rhodes.
Rhodes: Mr. Young, I must ask you to let Kathy make her own decisions.
Albert: I'm very sensitive about things that are not in her best interest, Dr. Rhodes. Now the only danger that I can see for Kathy is what you bring her.
Simmons: She agreed to what you tried. I guess that let's you off the hook. Legally, that is.
Rhodes: I'm not trying to get off the hook. I believed her life was in danger. I know that now more than ever. I saw it.
Simmons (to Rhodes): I don't care how altruistic your motives are. The fact is, you brought that girl nothing but pain and grief. Go ask her now if she wants anymore of your help.
Woods (to Rhodes): Hang in there. You still got one strike comin'.
Simmons (to Rhodes): I haven't had much rest since I met you.

Main PlayingWith main index Narrative
This trope covers situations when a person is treated as effectively dead and gone even though their body is still physically alive. This is generally because the "person" has been erased in some way.
This can cover mild examples (like memory loss) or more serious examples (like Loss of Identity or damage to the soul). It can occur accidentally or through happenstance (e.g. illness or injury), maliciously (e.g. being assimilated by The Virus) or punitively (Speculative Fiction settings often use mind-wiping and personality overwriting as a form of capital punishment). This trope and its subtropes are often treated as a Fate Worse Than Death or a means of making someone Deader Than Dead. Yet some of the following methods are reversible; an amnesiac could remember everything, a possessing entity could be given the boot, Fake Memories could be recognized as fake. So treat these as "death" only if no such reversal occurs.
Subtropes (examples of which should go on their relevant page) include:
Examples: open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
Comic Books
Live-Action TV
Tabletop Games
Video Games
Web Comics
Western Animation

Olympics could strain enterprise networks
- 26 July, 2012 20:29
- Comments
The Olympics happen every two years, but according to media watchers and IT professionals, the impact of the Olympics on communications traffic globally from this year's games could be more significant than any in the 116-year history of the modern games.
"Coverage of the Olympics used to be very static, it was just print, broadcast or TV," says Marianne Budnick, CMO of Acme Packet, which specializes in session delivery networks. "But today, because of both improvements to communications technologies and the rise of mobile and social, coverage of the Games and communications related to them are much more interactive and are conducted largely in real-time."
Hence, we have the first app Olympics it seems, with the proliferation of mobile, tablet and web application options for consumers to watch the Olympics on. According to a study from mobile marketing company Velti, 40% of Olympic watchers plan to follow the games on two or more devices, while half of those expect to watch live video streams or replays on their tablets. NBC, the U.S. broadcast network for the games, will live stream all 32 events in real time and is making them available for replay. Acme says all that streaming could add up to a 211% increase in mobile traffic during the two weeks of the games, starting on Friday, July 27.
SLIDESHOW: Olympic gold: 15 free iOS and Android apps
MORE OLYMPICS: Wi-Fi and 3G hubs banned from Olympics
What does all this mean for the enterprise? Be prepared, says Jon Olstik, senior principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. If a dozen or 20 workers in an enterprise are all streaming a U.S. basketball team game or watching Michael Phelps swim at the same time, "that will consume a tremendous amount of bandwidth." The issue could be exacerbated by the prime-time events in London, because of the time-zone change, occurring during the middle of the U.S. work day, he notes.
There are remedies enterprises can take though. Firewall tools, network caching and edge routers each have varying degrees of sophistication for setting network protocols and throttling limits. Basic features allow for a certain protocols, such as Flash video players to be limited, while more sophisticated systems can target specific URLs or locations. Olstik says network admins should be careful to not block all video traffic for legitimate uses. "You still need to get business done," he says.
Perhaps an even bigger issue, he says, is around cyber security. Hackers attempt to use any sort of major event as leverage to launch cybercrimes, including phishing scams or search engine fabrications. In his blog on Network World, Olstik referenced a report from the Department of Homeland Security, which warns of malware and phishing scams that could pop up during the next two weeks. For example, a hacker can manipulate search engine optimization technologies, the report says, to promote malicious sites that may appear to be legitimate Olympic-related coverage. The best defense for this, Olstik says is ongoing education of employees to keep them aware of cyber security threats.
Jennifer McClain, senior product management for Compuware APM, which provides network performance management, says many times enterprises focus efforts on their customer-facing IT, but neglect their own infrastructure. The first step is to get baseline readings of normal network traffic so if issues arise they can be identified quickly. That information helps administrators identify exactly where the issue is occurring and if it's inside the network or an issue with a third-party ISP or within the content delivery network.
McClain says Compuware has already worked with major service providers and media companies, including the BBC, CBS Sports and USA Today, readying their systems to handle the increased traffic using simulated testing. But, there's no way to know how big the Olympics will be until it starts. "It will be really interesting to see just how engaged people are in the event," she says. "We've seen a much more connected world in the past few years. A lot of preparation has gone in and now it will be put to the test."

The temperature may be dropping, but don't let that stop you from savoring the season. This week on Instagram, celebrities went bold and bright to fight off the looming cold; see which snaps were our favorites!
It's December, and somehow between decking the halls and dashing through the snow, you are inevitably going to have a a lot — and we mean a lot — of shopping to do. But aside from all the holiday gift-giving, you still have to pick up a few things for yourself, right?
That's why we've rounded up our favorite pieces, from adorable outerwear options that will get you through the ever-dropping temperatures all the way to Christmas sweaters and New Year's Eve statement necklaces. Sure, every last item could easily be wrapped up and given to the chicest set on your list, but, really . . . What's the fun in that? Shop all our editors' December must-have fashion picks right here.
From braided looks to bright red lips and a royal ponytail, this week was all about easy and flattering looks to inspire your holiday dressing. You don't have to be Selena Gomez or Reese Witherspoon to pull off these easy-to-re-create hair and makeup looks. Just keep clicking to see who had our favorite looks of the week!
For those of us women who grew up in the '90s, nothing beats reminiscing about all the fashion, music, books, games, and toys that made the decade so totally rad. But what happened to those lanyards we made at camp or those Lisa Frank stickers we traded at recess? Sadly, they've long since been lost, thrown out, or sold off at garage sales. So whether you have a girlfriend, sister, or significant other who's missing her '90s girlhood this holiday season, check out our nostalgic stocking stuffer guide — she's sure to be visited by the ghost of Christmas past!
Although 2013 had a lot of design highlights, it's time to play favorites. Starting with the heart of the home, here are the seven kitchens we loved over the last 12 months. From an unbelievable reno to a perfectly styled celebrity space, these rooms hold the recipe to success. Click through to see the best kitchens of 2013 and how they can inspire you heading into the new year!
NBC's much hyped The Sound of Music Live! aired this week, with Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer filling the roles of Maria and Captain von Trapp, respectively. Though many people were underwhelmed by the show, it's undisputed that Underwood sang beautifully. In case you missed the show and want to see how Moyer looks (and sounds!) outside True Blood or how Underwood fares as Maria, we've got a little taste. Take a look at (and a listen to) Underwood and Moyer's duet of "Something Good."
For another classic The Sound of Music tune from this week's special, watch "So Long, Farewell" after the jump.
While we were off eating turkey, Naomi Campbell had quite the chic few days down under. While promoting Australia's The Face, the model made the rounds in everything from crisp casualwear to an ultraelegant burgundy gown.
Not to be outdone, Kate Moss made a strong showing at London's Bookmarc in a sparkling mini and striped furry topper to promote her Playboy cover! And while on the topic of models, there was celebrating to be done for Joan Smalls's January Elle cover. You can see what they all wore here in the gallery.
Christmas has come to Glee, and it's surprisingly raunchy. As soon as Fox advised viewer discretion, citing sexual situations, violence, and suggestive dialogue, I knew this would be an interesting episode. The title, "Previously Unaired Christmas," had me a little confused, and to be honest, Jane Lynch's introduction just made me even more befuddled. For the record, this episode was filmed this year, but as you might recall, this season's timeline is a little wonky. Instead of skipping a holiday episode altogether, they just decided to go back in time. Sure enough, Glee pulls off an episode that's supposed to have happened in the past without screwing with the present plots. You know what that means? Filler.
This isn't to say it's a bad episode. There are some fabulous moments (Santana Claus obviously being the greatest), but it's so scattered. In any case, let's get to spreading the holiday cheer! I'm going over the highlights after the jump.
Pantone has announced its color for 2014, and the winner is Radiant Orchid. We think this is a fabulous choice for a bevy of reasons. We've already seen this hue in its multiple shades on the Spring 2014 runways of Costello Tagliapietra, Naeem Khan, and PPQ (above).
But aside from that, a bunch of celebrities have also been spotted sporting this look. AnnaSophia Robb (above, left) swept the shade across her lids, while color enthusiast Lupita Nyong'o (above, right) wore the exact shade on her lips. The best part, though? We definitely already own it . . . in multiples! The color is superwearable, be it on your nails, on your eyes, or across your lips, and looks good on a lot of different skin tones. But just in case you aren't already stocked, we've got you covered. Shop your new favorite products below!
The trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has arrived! Andrew Garfield is back as the young, masked hero as is Emma Stone as his love interest Gwen Stacy. This time around, Dane DeHaan is playing Harry Osborn, and honestly, he's probably my favorite part of this whole trailer. Jamie Foxx is also here as Max Dillon/Electro, Spider-Man's new nemesis, intent on creating a world "without power, without mercy, without Spider-Man." Not awesome news for Peter Parker, who's discovering more about his father's research and has just found out he's under surveillance by the evil Oscorp. Also in the trailer: a plane falling out of the sky, an epic battle between Spidey and Electro, and some great banter between Peter and Gwen.
Even if Spider-Man isn't your superhero of choice, you have to admit this looks pretty fantastic. Come on, there's a glowing blue guy! DeHaan looks totally calculating! So much web-slinging! The movie opens May 2 of next year, and if you can't stand the long wait, you should watch the trailer after the jump.

"Easy, quick and delivered properly...what else can you say?"
"I don't do reviews but I will make an exception on this. The reason: incredible value, looks great, fits perfectly and I can feel will last as long as the originals. I expect that anyway BUT all for under $5 including free postage.(so impressed I will have to look up on the map where China is -- Joking guys) If you need these just get them I cant see how you can feel you have lost out. Best value purchase ever. Now I have done my one product review,I don't need to do another for a while but this warranted it. I did get this at least 3 weeks ago and if I remember correctly, I could not believe the speed of delivery, it was quick. "
"Shipping took a while but that's exactly what they promised. The item was also priced a lot cheaper than any place else. Overall, great experience!"
"Very fast delivery! I'm satisfied! Exilent!"
"Communication from the company was excellent. Product arrived very quickly and was excellent quality. (I had ordered the same items about a year ago and needed more, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they have even improved the product!)"
"Quick order confirmation and shipping"
"Great items, excellent choice, price & service!"
"Good service, on time delivery, and good pricing. Best to save any product documentation available at the time of order because none comes with some products, and it can be difficult to identify original manufacturers to look up things like pin-outs, voltages and power requirements. "
"It is slow shipping,but otherwise OK. "
"Reliable company. Have used it several times. Good products. Reasonable price."
"Best price and excellent service, received items in 7 days. Very satisfied."
"Shipping took a very long time. And what I received was a piece of garbage. I threw the alleged "headphone pads" away. They were the worst quality"
"I was very happy with my order...since it was packaged very well and I received what I ordered. The best thing I have to say is that you cannot beat the prices on this website. Especially with the free shipping and also coupon codes. My only complaint is the wait time for the product was a little long...but I didn't mind since shipping is free."
"received item as described"
"Smells but still good and the shipping was fine "

Brining a Turkey
I had my first experience with brining last week when I decided to brine a 22# turkey. The brine consisted of 1 cup kosher salt, 1 cup brown sugar, 5# ice, the juice and remains of about four oranges, rosemary, and garlic.
The cooled brine was placed in a 6 gallon insulated water jug, the bird placed in the container breast down, the ice dumped over the bird, and water added until the bird was submerged. Obviously, this wasn't going to fit in the refrigerator, but with the ice and insulated container I was able to leave it out to brine for about 16 hrs. There was some ice left when the bird was removed from the brine.
I was the best turkey I have ever cooked. Normally I don't like the white meat because of dryness, but that wasn't the case here.

There are several glaring contridictions here. First, Harry, where is the lease? The police report says you "rented" the building to them and there is a big difference.
Second, Harry, you personally filed a report that says that you personally rented the space to them, but a corporation - Atlas Electric, Inc. - owns the building. I may be splitting hairs, but if Harry is going to accuse someone of theft he should at least get it right.
Again, where is the lease you said they signed?

Hey readers! What do you think of the article "Why Good Girls Have Become Unicorns?" and the response "from a Unicorn".
Reposted from Elite Daily, take a look:
Why Good Girls Have Become Unicorns
We live in a very strange world, a world where love is cursed by polygamy, sex has lost its value, and women have changed drastically. From once having morals and respect for themselves, girls are running around now with not a bit of dignity.
Sure, you can call it generation YOLO and women seizing the moment and just living life and having fun like they like to call it, but it just leaves me hoping I never end up with a daughter. Don't get me wrong — I'm all about having fun: the quick sex, the quick thrill and the terrible Facebook photos that you get tagged in the next day, but there has to be some sort of a line.
For men, it's great that these women have decided to become just like us. They've taken the male approach to sex and the way we treat the other gender. It is almost like they have become a mirror image of men in our love for a multitude of partners. This is great, because it cuts out a lot of the hard work that men used to have to go through to woo a woman to get what they ultimately want.
Sure, women have become independent, which is a great feat and should constantly be encouraged, but that is the positive side of women rising to power in our society. With every pro there happens to be a con, and the con here is that most of these women have completely lost all respect for themselves, and their morals along the way.
They've become thirsty for attention, from posting half naked photos on Instagram to having their whole lives exposed on the internet, through the course of hashtags. Then you have drugs, uppers being predominant, and many women are addicted to prescription pills to help their "anxiety." In short, women have become easy, but they have also become broken — and eventually become undesirable because no one stays hot forever.
Sure, we men are to blame for this as well, but that is because we are idiots. It all comes down to perception. Women see us drool over that hot girl that is standing half naked in her default picture or see us go wild when we easily get the number to a hot girl we just met on the street. To a man's perception this seems "right" because it's exactly what we want: sex without much effort. But for women from the outside looking in, they think that this is what we want, and it skews their perception.
Good girls gone bad, the city is filled with them to paraphrase the great Jay Z. The problem is that it's not just the city, but society as a whole. Men are to blame for this because we encourage such behavior and give these girls the attention they want when they are dressed up like complete idiots at EDM shows and when they are in their bikinis on Instagram. But women are also to blame in giving this artificial persona of what men call hot or not.
Sure I'm an assh*le who loves to take advantage of women who are willing to bang me without me having to offer too much, but at the same time, I am also a gentleman who knows how to treat a lady with respect and compassion, just like any other true lady should be treated.
The truth of the matter is that you can't change women that are already broken, so those are the ones that men use for exactly what we want: sex with no strings attached. Because it's easy and it's right in front of us. But at some point in time, through the course of our lives, we are going to grow out of chasing someone that has been with everyone. Sure being a bachelor is fun and all, the stories are great, bragging to our friends is epic, but we are eventually going to want more out of a female than just sex.
That is when we want to settle down, but with a lady who has respect for herself, morals — and there isn't one guy out there that can have a bad story to tell about her — like the time she had a threesome in a London hostel while studying abroad.
Because of the double standard that is in place between men and women, finding a girl of this nature wasn't that hard decades ago because women actually held high standards for themselves and demanded men to treat them properly before they gave them what they wanted.
The truth of the matter nowadays is that good girls, as we like to call them, don't really exist. They are unicorns. You are lucky if you come across one that is actually who she says she is. We sometimes even joke that our future wives are currently in Kindergarten because it is comforting to know that she is currently playing with blocks and not swinging from man to man because they sell her a good enough story. And when she's 18, we'll snap her right up and she'll have no exposure to the world of dating.
Men are going to want to settle down with a good girl, a girl that is respectable and not someone that has been with everyone — as that is every man's fear. The older you get, the more you realize that it is a fantasy and that doesn't actually exist. When you actually meet one, you will refuse to admit she's real anyways.
My question is what happened to a girl impressing us with her intellect and being able to hold a conversation past: do you come here often? Why has it become the standard that women have to impress men by flashing their breasts or dressing up half naked? Sure, we may seem dumb when we are chasing smuts, but when we do actually want to settle down with a female, she has to meet the standards that we have for a girl with whom we want to settle down.
Through my experiences, as well as the experiences of many other men, it's hard to come across a good girl or a unicorn. We're not asking for much here, just a girl that respects herself and is smart to the point where she would understand us.
But then there is the other side of the spectrum, that when we do actually find a unicorn and settle down, our ego gets a bit ahead of ourselves and we find them a bit too boring for our liking, so we decide to cheat. It's like a double-edged sword. You realize it wasn't getting the unicorn, but rather attracting something you thought never existed. It always is about the chase and never about the perfection of the woman. And that is the mindset of men in the 21st century.
What we look for is a lady on the street and a freak in the bed, as Ludacris once explained. The problem is that most girls are freaks everywhere, which leaves us with fewer options when trying to settle down. Unicorns are tough to find, and if you do stumble upon one, do everything in your power to hold on to her, as the chase is only fun for so long — and we do have a sense of compassion and companionship we like to share with a partner.
Those are the natural instincts of a man. Ladies, men are not going to respect you if you don't respect yourselves. It's that simple.
Why Good Girls Have Become Unicorns: A Response From A Unicorn
Indeed, it is a very strange world. I have just discovered my life choices have categorized me as a unicorn. I've never tried any illegal substances, had my first drink at 23, feel guilty for forgetting to say thank you to someone holding the door for me for days, and I'm a 24-year-old virgin.
Although I had self-esteem issues with my body when I was younger, I was never without people telling me I was pretty. Now that I'm secure in my identity, I've noticed a sharp uptick in overt male attention.
So why am I a unicorn? And why are there so few like me? I do agree with your assertion that women have changed, Mr. Waters. However, I contest your assertion that it's because we've "lost all respect for [ourselves]."
In the bygone eras in which your only hope of gaining social status was through marriage, holding onto your chastity was not a symptom of holding yourself in high esteem. It was your only option if you didn't want to have to sell your body for food and shelter.
In a time where we can make our own money and have the option to marry for love, we're in the awkward transition phase of discovering our new place in the world. We don't have to be a pious maiden or a disposable whore; we make our own destiny. It takes a while for a new normal to find itself.
In this vein, you have asserted that women have "become broken." Women have always been broken; you're just witnessing our messy attempts to reassemble the pieces. Our struggles were once secret and silent; you've only just noticed because our changing sexual habits are now affecting you and your dick.
I became aware of this article because a former male classmate of mine posted it on his Facebook page. He is, in fact, one of the "idiots" to blame for the lack of women that are "settling down material," so to speak. He would proudly proclaim the amount of easy ladies he's boned, but a few minutes later would complain that he couldn't find a nice girl with substance.
In truth, he could find a nice girl, but what he fails to recognize is that nice girls don't just respect themselves; they also respect other women. I don't care how much casual sex a girl is having, if a man disrespects her and I know about it, he will be relegated to the never category.
So why am I really a unicorn? The truth is, male attention makes me uncomfortable. I'm just as damaged as the girl who sleeps with a different man every night; I just reacted to my trauma differently. When I was a little girl, I witnessed my mother fight off a sexual assault from her partner at the time. Before I knew what sex really even was, my first association was a violent man.
This trauma went dormant in my psyche for a long time because I was too young to process it. Then puberty came. My male counterparts transitioned from boys to men in front of my eyes and our relationships suddenly changed. They started to look at me differently, and they were no longer my friends; they were potential dangers I had to defend myself against.
Now, I'm certainly not a man-hater. I love men. That was part of the problem. The fact I was starting to have this mutual sexual attraction to men made it worse for me. Without being able to articulate my feelings even to myself, I didn't trust myself to pick the right man, so I picked none of them.
When I was 18, I finally took a chance. He was kind, respectful, generous and handsome. He also opened Pandora's box because he touched me. After dating for a while, he gently put his hand over my jeans while kissing me.
I cried for days. He thought I'd been molested as a child. Honestly, maybe I was and don't remember. The night I witnessed my mother's sexual assault, that same man tried to strangle his father to death. I have no memory of that part of the evening.
The reason I'm getting so personal is to try to illustrate the futility of categorizing good girls as unicorns. We aren't magical, ethereal beings. We reacted to all of the same horribly negative sh*t that "bad girls" do. But instead of trying desperately to seek men's approval through sex, we reject them completely.
Praising us as unicorns doesn't help us get over our issues. It just encourages our unhealthy behavior and makes us feel like we have to live up to some perfect ideal. I went to a gynecologist for the first time recently. It was horrible enough to be naked with your feet in stirrups, but she kept praising me for being a virgin, so much so, it made me start to question my healthy advancement in my views towards my sexuality.
I'm ready now. I will have sex when I find a connection with a man worthy of my respect. As it turns out, those are the real unicorns.
Over the years I've come to learn that men are just as damaged as women. They started out sweet and caring, but then someone breaks their hearts. Their parents broke them by telling them they weren't masculine enough, their first loves broke them by cheating on them. These men then become quick pleasure junkies because a one-night stand can't break your heart. It's a never-ending cycle of broken people, creating more broken people.
So men, there's no such thing as a woman who doesn't care about anything. If the girl you're chasing "refuses to give a f*ck," it's because she doesn't give a f*ck about you. If you just want sex, that's fine. Just don't complain that all women are manipulative bitches afterwards. Have some respect for yourself to begin with; you deserve more, too.
People attract people that are like themselves. If you are a mess, you will attract a mess. If you are a shallow sex hound, you will attract shallow sex hounds. If you want a unicorn, you need to be a unicorn. Respect yourself and you will be able to find a woman that you can respect.

The Vatican announced the pope's death in an e-mail which stated "the Holy Father died this evening at 9:37 p.m. in his private apartment.'' The announcement came from papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls.
A Mass is scheduled for St. Peter's Square Sunday morning.
The pope died after suffering heart and kidney failure following
2 hospitalizations in as many months.
John Paul led the Roman Catholic Church for more than a quarter
century and was history's most-traveled Pope.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Taxpayers may still be able to deduct last-minute donations to Chile earthquake relief from their 2009 taxes, if a bipartisan bill introduced in the House on Tuesday is signed into law.
Two representatives from Michigan -- Sander Levin, the Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, and Dave Camp, a Republican on the committee -- introduced the bill, which would allow taxpayers to deduct these charitable donations from their 2009 taxes instead of having to wait until next year.
"Millions of families have given selflessly, even in uncertain economic times, so that those struck by natural disaster may begin rebuilding their lives," Levin said in a statement. "This bill will encourage those who are considering a donation to take action now."
Donations to Chile would have to be made before the April 15 filing deadline to qualify for a 2009 deduction.
As for taxpayers who may have already filed their 2009 returns -- that's not a problem, said Jackie Perlman, a tax analyst with The Tax Institute at H&R Block. If the law passes, taxpayers can still take advantage of the 2009 deduction by filing an amendment through the 1040-X, a form for making changes to a tax return after it's filed.
Or, they can simply wait to file their deduction until next year instead, she said.
Perlman also cautions donors to beware of scammers and make sure they're only donating to qualified, tax-exempt charities. Taxpayers interested in the deduction should note that the bill has merely been introduced -- it's not a law, just yet.
"You're certainly more than welcome to make a donation to Chile earthquake relief but if you're assuming the bill is going to pass, that may not be wise," Perlman said. "You always want to wait until it's a done deal."
In January, Congress unanimously passed a law that makes donations to Haiti tax deductible in the 2009 tax year, if the donations were made between January 11 and March 1. President Obama signed the bill into law on January 22.
The bill introduced today would also extend the deadline for tax-deductible Haiti donations to April 15.
Chilean officials estimate that some 2 million people have been affected in one way or another by the earthquake, while 708 have been reported dead. January's earthquake in Haiti left an estimated 212,000 people dead and more than a million homeless.
