"nice but small."
Room was smaller than I had expected but was clean and well maintained. Its a little surprising that they don't offer a complimentary breakfast of some sort when so many others do.

We chose the hotel for convenience of our event. The rooms were clean, the furnishings were current, and the hotel itself was quiet. Our only complaints were; one person at the front desk was not courteous and friendly. The hotel did accomodate my mother for a check that was 1 1/2 hrs prior to the 3 pm check in. We were up since 2:30 a.m. However, our […] mother's room which was to be a non smoking room definately smelled of smoke. All the other non smoking rooms had a sign just outside the door designating "non smoking". Her's did not, yet the hotel reception persons insisted it was a non smoking room. Other than that the breakfast in the restaraunt was great and you could order a'la carte. A breaker in the hotel kept tripping darkening one side of our room. They however were on it immediately. So we except for the smoky room we rec'd attention immediately. All in all we did enjoy our stay and the traffic from the QEW Hwy 403 did not affect us at all.

The economy in the U.S. expanded more than previously estimated in the third quarter as a narrower trade deficit and gains in inventory overshadowed a smaller gain in consumer spending.
Gross domestic product grew at a 2.7 percent annual rate, up from a 2 percent prior estimate, revised figures from the Commerce Department showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 2.8 percent gain. Household purchases climbed at a 1.4 percent rate, the least in more than a year and down from a previously reported 2 percent rate, and income gains were also cut.
"We're just muddling through," said Brian Jones, a senior U.S. economist at Societe Generale in New York. "The mix between final demand and inventories was far less favorable. The consumer spending numbers are a reflection of the fact that job growth remains sluggish."
The report helps explain why Federal Reserve policy makers have said they'll continue to pump money into the economy to spur growth and reduce joblessness. At the same time, an improvement in housing, employment gains and healthier household finances may help underpin consumer purchases, the biggest part of the economy.
Economists' estimates for GDP, the value of all goods and services produced, ranged from 2 percent to 3 percent. The economy grew 1.3 percent in the second quarter.
Jobless Claims
Fewer Americans filed first-time claims for unemployment insurance payments last week as the labor market disruptions wrought by superstorm Sandy ebbed, a report from the Labor Department also showed today.
Applications for jobless benefits decreased by 23,000 to 393,000 in the week ended Nov. 24. Economists forecast 390,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
Stock-index futures held earlier gains after the reports on optimism lawmakers will reach an agreement in budget talks. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index maturing in December rose 0.4 percent to 1,413.2 at 8:55 a.m. in New York.
The slowdown in consumer spending last quarter reflected fewer purchases of auto fuel and services such as utilities, insurance and financial transactions, the Commerce Department report showed. Household purchases rose at a 1.5 percent rate in the previous three months.
The third-quarter gain in consumer purchases was the smallest since the second quarter of 2011 and fell short of the 1.9 percent median forecast in the Bloomberg survey.
The revisions also showed why households may be cutting back. After-tax income adjusted for inflation rose at a 0.5 percent annual rate, compared with a previously estimated 0.8 percent pace as wages and salaries in the third quarter rose by $30.4 billion, less than the initially reported $43.3 billion.
Wage gains in the prior period were cut as well, with the new data showing a $23.3 billion second-quarter gain that was about half than the previous estimate of $55.2 billion.
Improving sentiment may help put a floor under spending. Consumer confidence climbed to a four-year high in November, a report from the Conference Board showed this week. Household finances and outlooks are benefiting from improving real-estate prices as record-low mortgage rates drive a recovery in housing.
The holiday shopping season got under way last week as Thanksgiving Day openings and midnight deals at chains from Target Corp. to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. drew customers. Spending in stores and online rose 13 percent to $59.1 billion in the four days starting Nov. 22, the National Retail Federation reported. A year ago, sales advanced 16 percent over the holiday weekend.
Fed's View
The economy expanded at a "measured pace" in recent weeks as gains in consumer demand and housing were tempered by a slowdown in manufacturing and the impact of Sandy, the Federal Reserve said in its Beige Book business survey released yesterday. Policy makers are continuing with monthly purchases of $40 billion in housing debt to boost the three-year economic expansion.
Today's Commerce Department report also offered a first look at corporate profits. Earnings climbed 3.5 percent in the third quarter from the previous three months, and rose 8.7 percent from the same period last year.
Trade and inventories were the bright spots in the report. The trade deficit shrank to $403 billion, less than the $413.7 billion previously estimated and down from $407.4 billion in the prior quarter.
Inventories provided a boost to GDP growth rather than being a drag as first estimated. Stockpiles contributed 0.77 percentage points to growth, compared with a prior estimate that showed they subtracted 0.12 percentage point. At the same time, larger inventories mean businesses may limit production in the fourth quarter unless demand accelerates.
The economy faces more hurdles this quarter and next. Sandy, the largest Atlantic storm ever to hit the U.S. may trim as much as 0.5 percentage point from fourth-quarter GDP, according to Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York. Reconstruction work could add as much as 0.75- point point to GDP in the first quarter of 2013, he estimates.
The job market, albeit improving, will reflect a setback from Sandy for some months. Payrolls rose by 100,000 workers in November after climbing 171,000 the prior month, according to the Bloomberg survey median ahead of Labor Department data due Dec. 7. The unemployment rate probably held at 7.9 percent.
Fiscal Policy
Businesses are likely to resume hiring and capital spending next year once lawmakers reach a resolution on fiscal policy. Orders for capital goods excluding defense equipment and aircraft, a proxy for future business investment, climbed 1.7 percent in October, the most in five months, Commerce Department figures showed Nov. 27.
Xerox Corp., the Norwalk, Connecticut-based provider of printers and business services, is among companies waiting for the outlook to become clearer. While the U.S. "got a bit weaker" during the third quarter mainly due to the uncertainty around the fiscal cliff, a "positive conclusion" is expected, according to Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri.
"We may see an improved economic environment in the U.S. going into 2013," Maestri said on a conference call with analysts yesterday. "For the moment, we continue to foresee this level of softness until the issues in Washington have resolved."
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke has said an agreement on reducing long-term federal budget deficits without abrupt tax increases and spending cuts would remove a barrier to growth.
"A plan for resolving the nation's longer-term budgetary issues without harming the recovery could help make the new year a very good one for the American economy," Bernanke said in a Nov. 20 speech.

The 2012 European Championships were heading towards a diplomatic fiasco on Monday after more EU leaders said they would join Germany in a boycott of the event next month unless Ukraine freed the opposition leader, Yulia Tymoshenko.
On Sunday, Angela Merkel said that she and her cabinet would not attend any games played in Ukraine, which is co-hosting the tournament with Poland, unless the human rights situation under President Viktor Yanukovych improved.
On Monday, the president of the European commission, José Manuel Barroso, and Viviane Reding, the commissioner for justice, said they would not be travelling to Ukraine either. The Czech president, Vaclav Klaus, announced he was cancelling a visit to Yalta, while Germany's president, Joachim Gauck, called off a trip to the same central European leaders' summit last week.

It wasn't a troll, it was actually very ironic. Chelsea fluffed the chances that would have made their possession tell on the scoreboard, which let a single opposition goal decide the match, with an emphatic last minute goal to seal it. In sdkelso's world, pointing that out about Barcelona's performance v chelsea is preposterous, and just sour grapes from Barcelona acolytes, but pointing it out about Chelsea losing in a similar fashion requires restatement of the "Barcelona LOOOOOST!

Extra Benefits:
Energy Surge is an ideal supplement for use prior to and during off-season weight training sessions as it provides readily available energy for these explosive-type exercises.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the chemical compound - the "energy currency" of the cell -that provides the overwhelming majority of the energy needed by your body. Under normal conditions (such as at rest) the body can produce all the ATP it needs for a healthy existence. However, during stressful conditions, such as high-intensity exercise, the body's ATP stores are rapidly depleted and cannot be replenished quickly enough by normal means. When you're in a race and you need to step up the effort - be it prior to attacking a climb or dropping the pack - your body must have the cellular goods to deliver the performance. And that's exactly when Energy Surge shines. When you put an Energy Surge tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve, you get a nice boost of energy exactly when you need it. It's perfect for interval sessions, a hard section of a workout or race, or when it's time to put away the competition for good. Try a bottle of this ATP supplement (remember, all our products are 100% guaranteed) and make sure you've got the edge when you need it.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is produced by every mitochondria cell within the human body. It is formed from a long chain of metabolic events in which a variety of substrates are transferred from the foods you eat, especially carbohydrates. Although science is still struggling to fully understand the nature of this unstable compound, Hammer Nutrition has been harnessing its universal power for over 10 years. Thousands of satisfied customers can attest to its effectiveness where it counts -at the races. Hammer Nutrition's proprietary sublingual (under the tongue) formula allows for direct absorption through the mucosa of the mouth and throat, going directly into the bloodstream and avoiding the stomach. The anecdotal data of Energy Surge's effectiveness is somewhat substantiated by the work of Dr. Irshad Chaudry, who showed there is evidence that ATP can cross the cell membrane. Dr. Chaudry suggests that the release and uptake of ATP or its substrates are part of the physiological process of energy metabolism. ATP, Adenosine Triphosphate, is directly or indirectly responsible for 95% of the biological activity in the body, including muscle contractions, circulation, and building new tissue.

NOTE: Wim doesn't properly supported connected realms when you send or get a whisper from another user for first time that is NOT in your guild or contact list. This is caused by a blizzard bug and we are unable to fix it. This bug happens even with stock ui, and even public channels like general/trade. The first time you encounter a user you don't have cached yet, blizzard strips the realm from the connected realm player and bugs out the username. Next time you see that user type, the realm name will be properly shown. More information on bug here http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/10357245790?page=1#4
WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) is a World of Warcraft addon which brings an instant messenger feel to communication in game.
I created WIM over 2 years ago with the curiosity of creating an addon. Since then, WIM has evolved into what it is today, however so many requests from the community were added into the addon which resulted in bulky and inefficient coding practices that took a toll on both CPU and Memory usage. To resolve this, I decided to rewrite WIM from scratch. Each feature is being reintroduced one at a time and being advanced upon. That being said, I welcome you to WIM 3.0.

The original text to change on line 478 is:
if UnitExists("party"..i) then
To prevent overwriting ChatEngine.lua in future versions of WIM, so I recommended to block WIM at r344 version with the changes made. I mean, not to ever upgrade unless WIM authors implement the necessary changes to fix the party chat.
Until next expansion not think (and hope) that requires more updates.
In file <WoW Folder>\Interface\AddOns\WIM\Modules\ChatEngine.lua on line 478 xD
Find this script in your WoW addons folder and open it with an editor or the notepad of windows. Try to go to line 478. If you don't have an editor with line numbers search the text for "Party:PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED". The result should bring you to a function with that very same name.
In that function there is a line of code like this "for i=1, 4 do". Below it there is our problem line, something like "if UnitExists("party"..i)" (forgot how it looks, don't have the old one).
If you replace that line with this "if UnitExists = nil and UnitExists("party"..i) or _G.UnitExists = nil and _G.UnitExists("party"..i) then" then your group chat should be back in WIM.
NOTE: if there is an update this might be overridden and you might have to change it again, if there is no fix for the problem in that update.
I can't tell you that. I am just a programmer/WoW-player who, actually, got a bit annoyed by the bug and found this thread. And after I got an idea where the problem is, I tried to fix it. I have nothing to do with the team of this addon. Maybe krovikania can help you more on that? Not sure if he has anything to do with it. Or try to pm the authors (on the right) and ask if they actually gonna use the fix for the next release or patch.
Being thrown errors anytime I try to change a glyph. The only way to change one is to reload UI and change it before using WIM. Any fix for this? x.x It's really irritating when I'm having to ask the raid to wait for me to reload to change a glyph.
So i seen you say it works no but no new file for download, i have to code this srtring myself or down R344 again to get it to work..
great that it works but i would like to use it aswell ;)

Electro Quarterstaff
Half-a-decade after the release of their debut album, Gretzky, Electro Quarterstaff continues to ply its style of technically thrilling and confidently performed instrumental thrash. Unfortunately, this Canadian quintet also continues to produce a style of music that -- due to a lack of compositional savvy -- doesn't seem to translate well on record.
There's a debate I've kicked around inside my brain re: where metal is supposed to matter most -- on stage or in the studio. For me, the recorded document is the thing because, when it comes to heavy metal, I value compositions a good deal more than performances. Songs are where emotions are conveyed, ideas are forwarded etc. Performance, while important, is where the artist convinces you that those emotions are real, ideas true.
Electro Quarterstaff's performers are top-shelf. From start to finish, Aykroyd sounds live and loose. The band plays on the edge, with pinch harmonics bleating, drums splashing and the new (on this album) bass plunking and rumbling. However, despite the players' ability to perform their shit, I'd be lying if I said I heard a convincing performance on Aykroyd. That's because, for all their ability, I don't think Electro Quarterstaff has much to say as a band.
From the martial gait of "The Wolf Shall Inherit the Moon" to the recursive thrashing of "Japanese Upside Down Cake," most of Aykroyd's songs sound like they were composed for the sole purpose of Electro Quarterstaff proving they have the chops to play them. This isn't to say that Electro Quarterstaff doesn't know how to write good riffs or even coherent transitions to link one riff to another. Instead, the band's problem is that they're ether not sure or not interested in stacking up their parts in a way that guides the listener through the listening experience. Songs like "McNutty" and "Descent By Annihilation Operator" lack any sort of compositional arc, which makes it almost impossible for the listener to follow the tracks without getting unmoored. Unpack and rearrange the riff-sets in these songs and the listener would be still be experiencing six to seven minutes of skronky thrash. It's not that Aykroyd is too weird or complex to be enjoyed, it's that it's myriad weird complexities often feel indistinct from each other due to the lack of care Electro Quarterstaff employs in the songwriting process.
It's not faint praise to point out just how gifted Electro Quarterstaff's players are. Nor is it out of the range of possibility that these songs contain sonic throughlines that I've failed to pick up on. To these ears, though, this remains a frustrating listen. Though impressive on first spin, EQ's performative talents are mostly neutralized by the exhausting effort required to sift through their tech-thrash marathons. This is an album recommended only to those who so value performance that it allows them to overlook glaring composition deficits.

Sandra Avila Beltrán, once known as the "Queen of the Pacific" in the Latin American drug trade, is accusing Miami prosecutors of lying about her role in cocaine shipments to the United States to persuade Mexican authorities to extradite her last year.
For Avila, a dark-haired beauty who stood out in a narco-trafficking world dominated by macho men, the misconduct accusation is a final bid to save her neck as she faces trial — or a possible plea deal — later this month.
Her defense lawyers are seeking to have a 2004 indictment dismissed, but it's a likely long shot. If convicted of two conspiracy charges alleging drug importation and distribution, the 52-year-old Avila could spend the rest of her life in prison.
Her attorneys claim in a court filing that a federal prosecutor and drug agent were aware that signed declarations by codefendants — including Avila's ex-boyfriend — were "riddled with falsehoods and misstatements." Yet Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Morales submitted the evidence to Mexican authorities in 2010 to persuade them to extradite Avila, according to the defense lawyers, Stephen Ralls and Howard Schumacher.
Morales' successor in the case, prosecutor Cynthia Wood, said in court papers that the allegations against him were "false" and "without foundation."
Avila's reputation as the Queen of the Pacific was gained by her dominant role in the powerful Sinaloa cartel, her romantic relationship with a Colombian drug trafficker and her influence over ocean supply routes.
In Public eye
Mexicans, along with the news media, have long been fascinated with Avila, who was arrested in her country in 2007. They constantly followed details of her taste for high fashion, gourmet food and beauty secrets. One rumor that made the rounds: A doctor visited her while she was jailed in Mexico to administer her Botox injections.
Last summer, a Mexican court and foreign secretary granted her extradition on the U.S. narco-trafficking indictment, which has alleged links to a cocaine deal in Chicago and a cocaine seizure in Manzanillo more than a decade ago.
Avila's attorneys claim that Morales, the prosecutor, pressured her ex-boyfriend, Juan Diego Espinosa Ramirez, who was convicted in the same case, to sign a March 2010 declaration implicating her in the Chicago deal — without his defense attorney present. They said his declaration was instrumental in her extradition to the United States.
But according to Espinosa, "his declaration was not freely and voluntarily provided and he was denied the advice of counsel prior to signing the document," Avila's attorneys said in court papers.
Espinosa said in the declaration that Avila participated in a 100-kilo cocaine shipment with a trafficker named Juan Carlos Lopez Correa in 2001. And that after the cocaine was delivered to Chicago, Lopez Correa became responsible for the debt on the drug deal, he said.
On Sept. 14, 2001, federal agents intercepted a telephone call in which Espinosa, Avila and Lopez Correa allegedly discussed his outstanding payment. During the call, Espinosa asked Lopez Correa to pay for the shipment.
The current prosecutor in the case, Wood, pointed out that Espinosa's declaration was similar to the factual statement he and his defense attorney signed in June 2009, when he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.

Success in the field of sexual and domestic violence prevention has always required partnerships. This year we will focus on innovative relationships or "connections" that enhance the reach and impact of sexual and domestic violence prevention efforts. Five types of opportunities will be examined with regard to their distrinct challenges, success and potential for collaborative work.
During the web conference participants will learn and share via candid discussion with peers and national experts. Join us as we explore the connect in PreventConnect. PreventConnect web conferences are free online interactive events for prevention practitioners, researchers and funders to explore how to advance the prevention of sexual violence, domestic violence and teen dating violence. Each session has presenters and practitioner guests (to be announced) along with hundreds of members of the PreventConnect community.

Man injured after police shooting
1:09am Wednesday 21st August 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
A man is in hospital after being shot by police, Scotland Yard said.
Police were called out to Hale End Road in Walthamstow, east London, just after 8.15pm after receiving reports that a man had been seen with a handgun.
The Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Officers, including armed officers, attended and shots were fired at the man by officers.
"Police at the scene provided first aid to the man for gunshot wounds before the arrival of London Ambulance Service shortly afterwards."
The man, whose details have yet to be confirmed, has been taken to hospital for treatment.
A spokesman said the force's directorate of professional standards had been informed and the Independent Police Complaints Commission would also be notified.

On Valley Edition: Incarceration Rate; Bus Rapid Transit; Greek Fest
This week on Valley Edition, we learn more about a new report which shows that on average, Valley counties send more inmates to prison and jail than the rest of the state. What does this mean for county budgets as realignment is moving many of those inmates from state prisons to county jails? We also discuss the merits of public defenders in California, as Fresno County is likely to place a measure before voters this fall which could make it easier to outsource the county's public defender jobs to private attorneys. Michael Males, a senior researcher with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice and Jeff Adachi, San Francisco Public Defender join us for a discussion.
We also talk about a plan to bring mass transit to Fresno with a new system called Bus Rapid Transit or BRT. Last month, the system got a big boost with a $2.4 million grant to fund a new station in downtown Fresno. Will this system, often called "light rail on rubber wheels" be enough for you to give up your car and ride to work? John Downs from the City of Fresno joins us to talk about plans for this new system in Fresno. And in our "around town" segment, we learn more about the 52nd annual Fresno Greek Festival which takes place August 24, 25 and 26, 2012.

Customizing SMF > SMF Coding Discussion
Different custom profile fields for different themes
I have searched for a while, and haven't found any answers yet. :(
I would like to have some profile fields only to show up in spesific themes. While every field is on the profile page and can be edited.
I'm hoping this could be accomplished with a custom theme based Display.template.php, but im still new to php.
Simply put, I want to exclude the fields from here:
--- Code: --- // Any custom fields for standard placement?
if (!empty($message['member']['custom_fields']))
foreach ($message['member']['custom_fields'] as $custom)
if (empty($custom['placement']) || empty($custom['value']))
echo '

', $custom['title'], ': ', $custom['value'], '
';
--- End code ---
And here:
--- Code: --- // Are there any custom profile fields for above the signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['custom_fields']))
$shown = false;
foreach ($message['member']['custom_fields'] as $custom)
if ($custom['placement'] != 2 || empty($custom['value']))
if (empty($shown))
$shown = true;
echo '

';
echo '

', $custom['value'], '
';
if ($shown)
echo '
--- End code ---
Anyone who can help me?
The way the SMF system works, is that any files that don't appear in the custom theme's directory get read from the default theme's directory.
So, if the custom theme has a file in it, it'll use it.
If you make each one different, they will work with just that theme.
So, copy the file from the default theme, put it in the custom theme's directory and edit it the way you want.
It SHOULD be that easy.
Does that help, much?
Yes, I'm aware.. I'm asking for some coding help here, as im a newb to php. :)
Arantor Beeblebrox the First:
I'd love to know why you want different fields in different themes.
Its's a gaming forum, and devided up in sub categories, each category for a different game, and each with a different theme.
On the diablo forum, I only want the custom profile fields related to diablo showing.
And on the WoW forum, I only want WoW info and so on.. I think you got the idea :)

By Jacqueline S. Homan, author: Classism For Dimwits , Eyes of a Monster, and Divine Right: The Truth is a Lie
The assault on women's health is not about cost, or religious freedom, or morality. It's all about getting the women, no matter the cost — and the majority of men are OK with that. Silence is consent. So is indifference.
Men like Pennsylvania's governor Tom Corbett who says that women should lie back and "just close their eyes" while being medically raped with mandatory ultrasounds as punishment for getting a legal medical procedure to end an unwanted medical condition, and the rest of the he-man woman-hating lawmakers' brigade pushing these hate crimes masquerading as laws that amount to gender apartheid against women did not get voted into office by some fairy godmother.
And their supporters are no different than Ted Bundy or Gary Leon Ridgeway in their pathological hatred for women.
Sadly, most average, working class American men are really out to get women, too — they think there's something in it for them. They identify with those who share skin color and gender and religion, even though they really won't get a seat at the table in Alpha Dipshit Land either.
They think if they "get the women", they will have a shot at the wealth and power the rich white guys have, and be able to uplift their miserable asses from white male working class "hell" — they'll get ALL the good jobs and ensure their own seat in a hierarchy of unearned privileges while it's to hell with us women who are nothing but "leeches on society."
They think that by getting the women with "men's rights" groups (and the misguided feminists supporting them), paying child support won't be an issue because they can just grab custody of the babies they force women to bear, while paying NOTHING for their "recreational" sex. And forget about welfare — us women are just "leeches" for getting "their" tax dollars or their child support (which impinges on their "fun" money) for "doing nothing" while they "work hard" (yeah, because they've made sure WE got deprived of any chances, any human rights, any jobs, and any liberty never mind any happiness).
And they think that we're the enemy solely because we're women: we should be happy to starve and go without while we're forced to bear their progeny with no other options in life whether we want to go through pregnancy and childbirth or not. We should smile sweetly and behave demurely while they make us beggars and doormats in our own country, die by age 40 from pregnancy/childbirth, and have no healthcare, no food, no decent housing, no liberty, no human rights, no jobs (how dare we expect the same opportunities and rights men are entitled to, after all!), and no alimony or child support. The idea that we deserve respect, human rights and basic personal dignity makes us "feminazis" and "man-haters."
States like Alabama are already pulling out of TANF. So, what welfare for destitute, vulnerable pregnant women do you think will be paid out to all those forced births due to no access to contraception and abortion? What welfare for the children? The majority of men don't care. This is ALL about "let's get the women" — "how DARE these seductresses tempt us and then reject us, how dare they have sexual freedom, and how dare they get MY money just for having my baby when they should have kept their slutty legs closed." If this is chivalry, you can shove it up your ass; I'd rather have justice.
After the high profile disappearance and murder of 8 months pregnant Laci Rocha Peterson on Christmas Eve in 2002 by her fertilizer salesman husband Scott Peterson — who was leading a double life and cheating on her with a series of unwitting dupes including his thin, blonde mistress (Amber Frey) — former president George W. Bush signed the Laci and Connor Law which ostensibly was to protect vulnerable pregnant women from abuse and murder by their partners and co-conceivers. Instead of protecting society's most vulnerable women (pregnant ones), these laws are being specifically used to deliberately hurt women.
Fetal homicide laws cropped up in nearly every state. But in over 300 cases involving miscarriage, stillbirth as a result of harm against pregnant women, only one or two men were charged with two counts of murder under these laws. Meanwhile, several hundred women who suffered miscarriages or stillbirths were subjected to discriminatory legal and judicial abuse as they were charged and convicted of "feticide." The latest known of these casualties (which are not being reported in our mainstream media and are only being covered by foreign news correspondents) in these anti-woman ideological "culture wars" was 15 yr old Rennie Gibbs of Mississippi who was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in July 2011 for the "crime" of having a stillbirth. Nobody cared whether or not the sex or the resultant pregnancy was consensual. The co-conceiver skated into oblivion, scot-free of any consequences for his actions in impregnating an underage girl without her consent — and thus committing assault through forced gestation against her will in a state with no abortion provider and no access to reliable contraception for vulnerable women on the receiving end of men's orgasms.
As an aside, when Scott Peterson was finally apprehended and arrested for murdering his heavily pregnant wife and dumping her body in the bay, he was in possession of $15,000 in cash, four cell phones, a shitload of Viagra, and Mapquest directions to Amber Frey's workplace. Evidence later produced in court showed that Scott Peterson didn't want to become a father and that he added two pornographic channels to his cable TV service only a few days after Laci's disappearance and murder.
Scott Peterson, like many other men who murder their pregnant partners, murdered Laci because she was pregnant and he wanted to be free to have sex with other women without any consequences. He admittedly resented the financial strain that Laci's pregnancy was putting on his "lifestyle" of recreational sex as a playboy and con artist who peddled more bullshit to get in between women's legs than the fertilizer company he worked for. On December 14th 2002, ten days before his wife's disappearance and murder, Scott Peterson attended a Christmas party with Amber Frey after which he had sex with her without using any protection. Meanwhile, his pregnant wife went to a friend's Christmas party alone because Scott "had to work."
When Laci's disappearance splashed across the major news stations, her "devoted" widower played the heartsick spouse and expectant father. His shambolic performance could have won him an Oscar. What Scott Peterson had not told his mistress, a struggling single mother whose 20 month old daughter he doted on, was that he was already married and that his wife was due to have his son Connor any day. He did tell Amber, however, that he didn't want kids of his own, and that her child would be enough for them as he talked of their wonderful future together. He discussed getting a vasectomy at great length with his mistress. Too bad he didn't do that before he married Laci Rocha while having a string of affairs behind her back while keeping his marriage a secret from all of his other bed victims.
Most men are really delusional narcissists who think that women control them when in their warped minds they feel they have a divine right to control us; that we are oppressing men because they get horny and their brains go to shit at the very sight of a pretty woman — and that's all our fault, too for "making men desire us." They cannot make sense of that desire when they're taught to hate us by every cultural more, every inch of our society's social fabric that was founded on genocide and on a framework of hatred laced with biblical notions centered on gender inferiority, holding all women daring to challenge patriarchy and misogyny as evil.
They really think that their existence as men is meaningless if they can't beat us, rape us, force us to get pregnant against our will, torture and murder us to keep our uppity asses in line, and that they will lose their manhood if women have the same human rights as they do because then they cannot get away with dominating, abusing, exploiting and controlling us. And they think that we women will in turn be lost forever without men as considerate partners instead of as tyrannical "masters" and "lords" because we're violating the natural order of things if we have human rights to our own bodies (our bodies and lives "belong" to men as cheap, disposable possessions, don't ya know?).
Several out-of-the-closet misogynists — Steven Patterson (a rabid woman-hater from America's heartland married to a Philippine woman), Richie Roberts, John Latta (Sales manager at OC Nissan in Irvine, CA), Leland Williams, Jr. (a wealthy Christian author and speaker), Richard Mork (a conservative Mormon from Sacramento, CA), and Jeff Morris, a wealthy executive at Brenau who lives in Greensboro, NC whose profile picture shows him standing next to his Mercedes Benz in front of his McMansion (yeah, he's really oppressed) —signed into USA Today with their Facebook accounts to post venomous anti-woman vitriol.
They were posting anti-woman hate speech under the article on Hillary Clinton speaking out about the oppression of women by extremists across the world. And they all actually said all that shit verbatim about women controlling men, women as evil temptresses, and women getting everything at poor little oppressed men's expense — which justifies depriving women of our human rights. Yeah, because fighting for our basic human rights makes us "feminazis" — which is just like Hitler invading the East Bloc, right?
Only one or two men gave a tepid response in calling out these men's misogyny, and the few women posting were cyberbullied and run off the site by all the anti-woman bigots. What does that say about how men really feel about their wives, girlfriends, mothers, daughters, nieces and sisters? What does that say about how cruel men really are, and how much they hate women while having the moxy to call their victims of oppression "man-haters?" Men have been showing us who they really are all along. Hello, wake up ladies!
For over three decades, Rush Limbaugh spewed misogyny and vitriolic hate speech (calling women "feminazis" and "welfare queens" and other choice pejoratives) over public airwaves. Nobody complained except a tiny handful of women — most women feared being called a "feminist" because that's a bad thing in "free country" AmeriKKKa.
In the voice of "righteousness" Pat Robertson said, "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
Even on progressive sites like Alternet, women cannot tell it like it really is without several "progressive" males jumping in to say, "that's not fair, poor men this and poor men that", trivializing and invalidating the real physical and psychological harm and oppression women are suffering. Everything is always all about the men, and never about the women — even among most Leftist men with a few very rare exceptions.
That male college professors are teaching Women's Studies courses in colleges while paying far more attention and giving much more sympathy and activism support to the rights of misogynistic Muslim men in the Middle East than they do to the real deprivation of women's human rights here and abroad says it all. Hezbollah and the Taliban have far more sympathizers and supporters in the human rights community than women and girls do.
War is immoral, except when it's waged by men against women to preserve unearned male privilege with the deliberate intent to use sex and unwanted pregnancy to crush our spirits, our hopes and our dreams and destroy our bodies and cost us our lives by voting for misogynistic lawmakers committed to using fetuses instead of fists to injure, maim, or even kill women.
AmeriKKKa deserves the Scott Peterson Award for misogyny, and men who trivialize or minimize the deprivation of women's human rights to have a say in what happens to our bodies are NOT women's allies or friends. The only difference between America's homegrown misogynists and the Taliban is 8,000 miles.
So why should women continue to sleep with the enemy, or vote for the enemy, support the "social justice" movements that will only benefit the enemy as they tell us that our human rights are so much less important than the "big picture", or do business with the enemy to further enrich those who hate us, and hate our daughters?
The vast majority of men feel on a very visceral level that they have a divine right to subjugate, abuse, dominate, oppress, control, harm, maim, torture, socially and economically discard us, and even KILL us — by any means necessary.
You see, it's our death-dealing vaginas to blame for their lost shot at immortality. This is what their religious doctrines say. Even the more enlightened and secular "progressive" men benefit from the unearned male privilege that their conservative brethren maintain through oppressing women. And they know it.
When the Occupy movement started, stories of rapes and sexual assaults at various camps leaked out. One survivor wrote in her Daily Kos diary of what she witnessed. The "facilitators" actually pressured the women who were raped into not going to the police, and "counseled" them to keep quiet about what happened — for the "greater good" of the movement and the need to keep "divisive, special interest" issues out of the discussion on social justice. Economic, social, civil and human rights for only half the population at the expense of the other half is no justice at all.
Few, if any, male social justice activists and journalists with access to the microphone and the media like Cenk Uygur, host and co-founder of the Internet and talk radio show Young Turks, and Christopher Hedges, Pulitzer prize winning journalist and author of Death of the Liberal Class, have spoken out in defense of women's human rights, other than to give some brief lip service but that's about it. Women's human rights have always been back-benched in every social justice movement in this country.
From Stokely Carmichael of the Black Panthers who said the only position for black women in the movement was "on their backs", to the male leadership of Native American rights groups who climbed to fame and fortune while Indigenous women suffer in Third World poverty, and suffer the highest rates of murder and domestic violence, rape and unwanted pregnancies without any remedy at peril to their health and lives; to the white working class self-styled "socialists" and Leftists that blame everything on capitalism instead of on the cruel system of unearned male privilege as they deny misogyny, deny that there's a War on Women, and trivialize the real harm to women as a result of being deprived of our basic human rights in a country by a male-dominated government that decided a 15 second old zygote and a religious corporation are "persons" but women are not.
Christopher Hedges, who chained himself to the White House fence in a publicized protest and act of civil disobedience over the war in Iraq and who spoke out about the fascist Christian Right, is noticeably silent in the face of injustice where women are the primary intended target of torture and suffering.
The one or two who timidly spoke out did so only about a quarter as vociferously against the War on Women as they have against the "1%", the economy, and the war — even though they "love" women (they have wives and daughters, after all). Women have very few genuine allies and friends among men. That is fact; not hyperbole.
What many proudly misogynistic, selfish, narcissistic, sexually repressed, emotionally stunted psychos say on talk radio, prime time TV, during political campaign season, and post online in social media sites and in commentaries to news articles about the War on Women with very little opposition from the "good guys" loudly and boldly denouncing this legitimized misogyny reveals a lot.
My grandmother once taught me: When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
