Ricky Ponting : List of all Century/Hundreds in One day Internationals (ODI).Tag
Cricket Records
Who's best number 3 batsman to have played the game? true Don Bradman batted at the same position too, but he didn't display his skills against TV replays and other footages available today to help device your dismissal.
And neither Sir Don played one day cricket.. The greatest one day batsman at position one down is Ricky Ponting. undisputed champion batsmen has so far scored 28 century in his 323 one day career as of today = 2 October 2009.. 27 of those hundreds have come at no.3. 164 = Highest ODI Score :- for Ricky Ponting. he made it against South Africans at their permier ground ~ Johannesburg. sadly, his team lost it. Australians scored 434 in that match, first time above 400 score in ODIs, yet South Africa toppled it with 438 marathan chase. more of that 438 ODI. Needless to say, Ricky doesn't remember too much of his best one day international innings. The one Ricky will remember, is his 140 not out against Indians, at the same Johannesburg venue but on a bigger occasion = World Cup 2003 final. Ricky hit 8 sixes and only 4 fours that day.. Propelling Australia to 364. After that, victory was just a formality. Ricky Ponting is second to Sachin Tendulkar in record for most century in ODI & tests, but recent Ashes loss and successive T20 world cup faliures has put termendos pressure of this right handed batsman. It will be interesting to see how far Ricky goes, and will he ever touch Indian run machine?

Change is Good
The rumors are true. We will no longer be publishing print editions of 52nd City Magazine. Producing the quarterly proved to be more costly and time consuming than we ever expected. It was rewarding, yet exhausting. Over the last three years weve had the support and encouragement of some truly loyal advertisers, contributors, and fans. Thomas, Stefene, and I thank you sincerely. So with nine print editions behind us, we are now moving forwardfocusing more efforts on our new blog, where we will still be publishing poetry, prose, and photos. (New submission details forthcoming.) And we will continue to bring you special events like The Kick Ass Awards. So dont be glum. Change is good. Everybodys saying so.
So this blog will not be seeing any new entries. Go to the new blog.

The Lift (1983)
It's hard to believe that the horror subgenre about "Machines/Technology Gone Wild" actually has a subgenre itself of "Evil Elevator" films, but it does, small as it may be. I suppose it's one of the better targets for machine horror, since many of us have twinges of irrational fears about elevators--we fear that they'll suddenly plummet to the bottom of the shaft, we fear being stuck for indefinite periods of time between floors in a semblance of imprisonment and many of us are claustrophobic to an extent.
Too bad, then, that more often than not, The Lift doesn't meet the potential of the topic. For my money, I much prefer Nightmare on the 13th Floor or Tower of Terror, which probably seem like odd preferences to many of you, beginning with the fact that they were both made-for-television films and one is a Disney flick. They're also not as concentrated on the elevator aspect, although it is a focal point.
The Lift is centered around a misbehaving elevator in the "Icarus" office building. Felix, an elevator repairman for Deta Liften (this is a Dutch flick), is called in to investigate mechanical problems after four guests are almost "suffocated from heat" or something inside the elevator after a drinking binge at the restaurant located inside the Icarus. He finds no apparent problem. More incidents occur, including deaths. Felix is called back to the building. He runs into a reporter who heard about the deaths and is investigating. They dig and discover that there may be something fishy with the computerized electronics that form the brain of the system.
There are many good moments in The Lift, but just as many are straightforward drama as horror. At least one of the horror scenes--the one with the best potential, actually--is poorly executed effects-wise. Many more moments are camp, such as the tap-dancing janitor or the absolutely ridiculous lecture that Felix and the reporter receive from a dubious professor and which leads the film in more of a sci-fi direction. The lecture ends up being true and leads to the campy ending.
The biggest sin, though, is that long segments of The Lift are very boring. I suppose I was a bit tired when I sat down to watch it, but I had to fight off sleep a number of times. There's even a bowling scene. Another serious problem was the performances on the English dubbing--most of the "actors" read their lines with the enthusiasm of 411 operators. On the other hand, there's gratuitous nudity and lots of goofiness to go along with the convoluted deaths (although there's not much gore) and being anti-monogamy, I didn't mind that almost every character was either having an affair or was involved in an orgy.
It's the only Dutch film I've seen so far, and hopefully it isn't a representative example. This is one to rent only when you're ready to scrape towards the bottom fifth of the barrel. Keep plenty of coffee handy for the lulls between the few truly enjoyable parts. If you can find a subtitled version, or if you can find and understand Dutch, it might improve the film a bit, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
There is best B class movie
There is best B class movie what ever made.
I agree with Brandt. I
I agree with Brandt. I rented this back in the 1990s. It was subtitled not dubbed which is great BUT there is a LOT of dialogue. A few times the subtitles disappeared before had a chance to finish reading them. And, like Brandt, I kept dozing off during this...and I was wide awake when I watched it! The "special" effects were terrible and the explanation at the end didn't make ANY sense whatsoever! Also Brandt--this is NOT representative of Dutch films. See if u can find the Dutch film "The 4th Man" (subtitled not dubbed). That's a horror film that really works.

Mitch O'Connell paints on Art Jam, a piece worked on by 15 artists over the course of the event.
The 7th annual Baby Tattooville took place over the weekend at the Historic Mission Inn. This three day, 24 hour, immersive experience featured artists Olivia, Sylvia Ji, Travis Louie, Mitch O'Connell, Alex Pardee, The Sucklord, Chet Zar, Steven Daily, Luke Chueh, Coop, Gris Grimly, Brandi Milne, Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters, Ragnar, KRK Ryden and more.
Limited to just 40 tickets, Baby Tattooville's intimate atmosphere provides an opportunity for a small number of attendees to spend the weekend participating in both scheduled and spontaneous activities with the event's featured artists, creative partners and surprise guests. They also have access to an eclectic assortment of unusual panels and presentations, and access to all of Baby Tattooville's strange goings-on.
Event creator Bob Self says it best "...People who have attended in the past compare it to the parties at Hearst castle, or the parties in Citizen Kane. It's like getting the golden ticket in Willy Wonka. It is a magical weekend that is greater than the sum of its parts. It's a romanticized take on an artist's life, almost like a trip back in time. It's like a trip down the art-rabbit-hole."

text: "On the way to the Galapagos, the 105 put on her own display of unsinkability. We were running through huge seas, which did not faze her as long as I was careful. Sure enough, I got careless on the down slope of a monster wave. The succeeding wave came along while her bow was still sliding down. All I had to do was "quarter" it, turn her bow so she would climb the oncoming wave at a slant, but I was gabbing with Ellis, the radioman. Too late, I watched in stunned silence as the bow disappeared in solid blue water, like a diving submarine. Water surged over the bow deck and rushed through the cockpit, yanking at my legs. Ellis saw it coming and ducked into the charthouse slamming the door behind him. The water rushed onwardto the stern and down the open engine room hatch. For a terrifying instant the 105 was entirely underwater. Then she popped out the other side of the wave. The engines, sitting in half a foot of water continued running with out a cough or sneeze. My fright was nothing compared to the kid in the engine room who sat on his perch above the three Packards and watched as seawater cascaded down in front of him. The 105 forged ahead as if going under, rather than over, the waves was all the same to her."

Facebook shareholders may be happy to learn that the social media giant is taking steps to produce a potentially long-term profit generator — an online gambling app. Effective this morning, UK residents 18 and over are provided the chance to play online bingo for cash prizes. Facebook's bingo game is powered by GameSys, a private technology company licensed in Gibraltar.
In addition to online bingo, there are plans underway to introduce a slots game in the weeks to come.
"Real money gaming is a popular and well-regulated activity in the UK and we are allowing a partner to offer their games to adult users on the Facebook platform in a safe and controlled manner," said Facebook in a written statement.
Facebook makes the majority of its cash from online advertising, but a disappointing second quarter coupled with shareholder concerns that Facebook intentionally overvalued itself in its initial public offering had some investors reeling.

Was that a reference to Prieto, per chance?
"If we want to make the best products, we also have — have to invest in the best ideas," he said. "We're … devising new materials to make batteries 10 times more powerful."
The mention may have struck some as a reference of CSU chemistry Professor Amy Prieto's work with non-toxic materials and citric acid to make a more efficient battery. After all, the White House honored Prieto last year with a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Nominated by the National Science Foundation, Prieto was one of 96 scientists who received the award at a White House ceremony last month. She owns Fort Collins-based Prieto Battery, which aims to commercialize an environmentally friendly battery that lasts longer and charges faster.
Prieto Battery appreciated Obama's remark about batteries in his speech, but there's no way to know exactly what he was referencing, Katie Hoffner, the company's marketing veep, said in an email.
"We were just glad to have advanced battery technology acknowledged in his address," she said.
Flex time or sex time?
Trying to convince your boss to let you work from home? Are you debating whether to ask? Well, FlexJobs Corp. has some surprising information that could influence you or your boss' thinking.
FlexJobs is touting the results of a recent survey it conducted that included more than 1,000 respondents. It found that 99.5 percent of people think a flexible schedule would make them happier, but a substantial number of people think it would make them a better friend, parent — or lover.
According to the Boulder company, 63 percent said workplace flexibility would help them be a better friend, 91 percent said they would have more time for family or friends, and 82 percent said that it would help them be a more attentive spouse, partner or significant other.
The real surprise: 41 percent of respondents said having a flexible job would improve their sex life, and another 34 percent were optimistic that it would.
"Some of the results of this survey really took us by surprise," FlexJobs founder and chief executive Sara Sutton Fell said. "We are well-informed on the many work-life benefits offered by flexible job arrangements such as telecommuting, freelance, part-time and flexible schedule jobs. But we hadn't really considered on a broad scale how having a flexible job could positively affect people's love lives and romantic relationships as well. It's exciting!"
Greeley company debuts product at Global Pet Expo
Tim Petersen was far ahead of the natural pet food craze that has become the norm today.
Petersen first began selling natural pet foods in the 1990s, and was "ribbed about his passion for purity in pet food," according to the website for his company, Wild Calling.
As more consumers became aware of the actual contents of the food sold by major brands, an opportunity developed for Petersen, who launched his company in Greeley last year.
His goal is to produce high-quality pet food made from U.S.-bred meat ranging from rabbit to bison, at prices lower than most pet foods with similar ingredients.
The Global Pet Expo, held in Orlando, Fla. from Feb. 20-22, will be Wild Calling's chance to debut its product.

FARMERVILLE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A teenager from Marion was arrested after he was caught with a gun on the campus of Farmerville High School on Thursday.
Farmerville police say David Michael Bull, 17 was taken into custody around mid-morning without incident. Principal David Gray confirms that Bull is a former Farmerville High School student.
Bull arrived at Farmerville High on a school bus headed for the high school, adds Gray. Once on campus, Bull left and later returned.
"A student reported that the child had a gun. A coach actually walked the child over to the gym and we talked to him. We had already called police and told them that there was a possibility of someone on the campus with a gun," says Gray.
Farmerville police chief Bim Coulberston says officers searched Bull and found an unloaded 38 caliber revolver in his waistband. Coulberston says Bull confessed to stealing the firearm from a local pawn shop.
Bull has been booked on charges of Carrying a Firearm on School Property, Theft of A Firearm, and Entering After Being Forbidden.

Anime Costume
The Perfect Costume Choice, Toy Story Costumes
Halloween is nearing, and so is the time for costume parties. In these parties, we celebrate Halloween by gathering around having fun while wearing different kinds of costumes. While being with your loved ones, you can eat, play, dance, and be merry with such parties. Best of all, you can fulfill your fantasies by being something that you want to be with your costume. So in summary, these parties are really a fun and unique experience.
Halloween costumes are an essential part of Halloween parties. People used to wear costumes during Halloweens to scare evil spirits or disguise oneself from one. Halloween costumes are traditionally costumes of monsters, like a vampire, witch, or zombie. But today, other costumes are already accepted, like a Japanese Anime costume or a Toy Story 3 Costume.
Because of Toy Story 3, the Toy Story movie franchise is very popular again. And because of that fact, a Toy Story 3 Costume are a popular choice for a costume this coming Halloween. And because there are many interesting characters in the movie, it can be hard to decide on a costume for you. You might be decided on a Woody but on the last minute a Buzz costume interests you.
Choosing the most popular character is not always the best idea. If you do so, you might be one of the ten people who wears a Woody Toy Story 3 Costume in the party. Always keep in mind that there are lots of other characters in the movie. Choosing a supporting character costume than a main character costume can sometimes make you stand out more.
Here are some supporting characters in Toy Story that you may want to portray this coming Halloween.
Bo Beep Costume
Bo Beep is the adorable little sheep herder girlfriend of Sheriff Woody and one of the most cutest character in Toy Story. This cute sheep herder is a perfect costume idea for girls and ladies. This can also be a part of a couple costume with a Sheriff Woody costume.
The fearless army leader Sarge is truly respected by his bucket army. Sarge's army is always ready for action, may it be scouting Andy's birthday parties to saving they toy friends. A sarge costume is really easy to do by yourself. And Sarge can be a part of a group costume, which is the bucket army group.
Costume of Hamm the Piggy-bank
If Toy Story could have a richest character, it will be Hamm the piggy-bank. You can, like the Sarge costume, make your own Hamm costume. All you need to do is find a pig costume! This adorable costume is perfect for kids and for adults as well.
The Not-so-scary Dinosaur, Rex
This dinosaur is out to get you... get you to be his friend, that is. Rex is really one friendly carnivore dinosaur. Yes, he wants to be a mean machine like a real dinosaur, but deep inside he really has a soft heart and will do anything for his friends. Rex costumes are aimed for the boys, but girls can also wear one, that is if they want to.

ST. PAUL, MN (AP) - Minnesota has taken the first formal step toward seeking a federal disaster declaration for its ongoing flooding.
State officials on Thursday asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to send preliminary damage assessment teams. The teams will join state and local representatives to begin the process in areas affected by recent storms and flooding statewide, including northeastern and southeastern Minnesota.
The request includes assessment of the damage to public infrastructure in 14 counties and the Fond du Lac reservation.
The damage assessment teams are scheduled to be on the ground in those areas early next week.
The preliminary damage assessment is the first step in seeking a presidential disaster declaration, which would release federal funds for assistance programs for victims and affected communities, as well as state government.

John Ruskin's The Elements of Drawing was published in 1857. In the third chapter, Letter III, On Colour and Composition, he introduces his nine laws of composition. Macnamara refers to these laws as a sort of checklist for what is right in a composition. Still, when painting flocks of birds, she adjusts the compositions to suit her sensibilities. But nothing works as well as when she remains true to the flock's particular choreography. As she finishes each piece Macnamara discovers that each arrangement adheres to one or more of Ruskin's Laws of composition. She knows they flock in certain ways to save energy and insure the success of the species, not to please the viewer. The birds just seem to get it right. Macnamara is the Artist-in-Residence at the Field Museum.

Brookfield Celebrates World Tai Chi and Qigong Day 2009
By Amber Zheng
Strolling by the Senior Center on April 25th, (Saturday), perhaps you have noticed many seniors inside doing specific stretches or exercises, some standing on one leg, while others are mediating, these are the ~150 or so Tai Chi enthusiasts gathered to celebrate World Tai Chi & Qigong Day (WTCQD) 2009, sponsored by International Institute of Holistic Medicine - IIHM (www.iihmed.org), a non-profit organization headquartered in Milwaukee. Most participates were residents of Brookfield, Elm Grove and surrounding communities.
Tai Chi, one of popular forms of Qigong, combines slow, graceful movements with meditation and breathing techniques to treat or prevent chronic illnesses. Suitable for all ages, Tai Chi is especially good for the elderly, as it can improve balance, coordination and memory. WTCQD is an annual event held on the last Saturday of April each year to promote the related disciplines of Tai Chi & Qigong in sixty countries since 1999. In 2006, Brookfield mayor Jeff Speaker officially proclaimed WTCQD on request of Dr. Guan-Yuan Jin, a local acupuncturist/Qigong Master at Ace Acupuncture Clinic of Milwaukee (www.AceAcupuncture.com), one of the Midwest's leading centers of Chinese medicine.
As this year is its 3rd anniversary of WTCQD at Brookfield, IIHM, led by Dr. Jin, decided to sponsor and organize a celebration event. In preparation for this event, an organizing committee composed of seven local doctors, scientists, and business leaders was formed. Many local businesses including banks and schools provided sponsorships. "Simple forms of Qigong are especially welcome during these tough economic times as individuals and families who want to stretch their healthcare dollar." says Dr. Jin, "Practicing Tai Chi and Qigong can cultivate our inner self-healing mechanisms, and in turn help transform our community into a healthier one," In recent years, it is evident that the Greater Milwaukee community has seen a rising interest in Tai Chi & Qigong, resulting in that classes are being offered to various senior homes or care-giving facilities. However, Dr. Jin says, "Qigong is a blend of both science and art, and its theoretical guidance is as deep as the ocean, so it is important to choose a teacher wisely, and help you acquire optimal health benefits."
At 3pm, WTCQD 2009 celebration began at the main room of the senior center. Although the weather is stormy and cold outside, the participants' enthusiasm to Tai Chi & Qigong filled up a room full of warm energy. Dr. Timothy McAvoy, a veteran internist, emceed this event. Two guest speakers: Dr. Shi-Jiang Li, a Professor of Biophysics, and Dr. Allen X. Li, a Professor of Radiation Oncology, both from Medical College of WI, gave spirited addresses on how Qigong therapies enhanced their personal wellbeing as well as providing a platform for medical research using Qigong. Afterwards, the keynote speech by Dr. Jin focused on Chinese ways for ant-aging that attracted attention of all participants. Dr. Jin is one of the pioneers in the research of scientific essence of Qigong, and is an accomplished Tai Chi & Qigong instructor of over 44 years. Many attendants of this event are his current and former students.
When smooth Chinese music hit the floor, several instructors of Qigong from IIHM put on a series of mesmerizing Tai Chi demonstrations, including Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan by Masters Louis and Amber Jin, their sync performance drew oohs and ahhs. Following the expert demonstrations, several former Tai Chi students of Dr. Jin and a few of those who studied the healing art before, stepped onto the stage for a group practice of Simplified Yang-Style Tai Chi Chuan and drew laughter and applauses from the crowd. At the end of the celebration, an introductory workshop of Eight-Section Brocade, another popular form of classical Chinese Qigong was taught to all of attendants, which raised the event to its climax. WTCQD 2009 at Brookfield was concluded around 6pm, when many attendants remained in their seat, not wanting to leave. "How do you beat this magnificent event next year?" the emcee, Dr McAvoy, playfully inquired Dr. Jin.

"It is ... crucial that we understand lesbian/feminism in the deepest, most radical sense: as that love for ourselves and other women, that commitment to the freedom of all of us, which transcends the category of "sexual preference" and the issue of civil rights, to become a politics of asking women's questions, demanding a world in which the integrity of all women—not a chosen few—shall be honored and validated in every respect of culture.'' Adrienne Rich
Lately, I've been seeing a lot of buzz in the atheist community about feminism. I suppose that the overall conversation started around Elevatorgate, but now it's far more pronounced, more polarizing. People seem to be drawing a line in the sand between those who support the feminist ideals and those who don't. The most recent upheaval has been around Thunderf00t's video calling out feminists and those who support the feminist movement, claiming that they are "poisoning" atheism.
For me, it's become even more visible as I've seen quite a few atheist pages on Facebook, some I follow, some I admin for, posting some excellent feminist messages only to incur the vehement lashing of large numbers of atheists on their pages. They make arguments that feminism is horrible, it's anti-male, or it's just unnecessary. I disagree with those sentiments completely.
It's ironic that the treatment of women within religions has been such a vocal criticism that atheists have had, when we're hardly acting better ourselves. Now, a good portion comes from the fact that many people have remained shackled to the many ideologies they were raised with, even after letting go of god. The vast cultural misconceptions about the status of women in society hardly help matters any.
Let's take a look at this particularly interesting anti-feminist video.
Now, she makes a lot of arguments here, but they all tend to boil down to the fact that she believes feminism just isn't necessary in America today. There are laws that protect women, or support them if they're victimized. People are mean sometimes, and we should just get over it.
So, let's unpack a few things.
Yes, people are mean and say hurtful things. For the most part, those people are idiots and should be ignored. What about when they can't be ignored? What if the person making sexual comments towards you is your boss? What if it's your parent? Your spouse? What about when the school has little to no system in place for bullying? When a girl is being harassed, slut shamed or constantly fighting off unwanted advances and the school does nothing? How often does this happen, and when they tell their parent, their parents fall into the culturally ingrained notion that "boys will be boys?"
This is a problem. This is why there NEEDS to be awareness and education about the treatment of women and the need for equality in our society. When parents believe that "boys will be boys," then who teaches them that it's not alright to objectify a female? Who teaches them that, once they've become comfortable objectifying women, that it's not alright to rape them?
An article from The Raw Story really brings this notion home for me. A Republican lawmaker blamed the gang rape of an 11 year old girl on how she was dressed. This alone doesn't overly surprise me, as the concept of rape from the right wing has been pretty messed up in recent years. The thing that gets me, I think, are the comments below the article. Now, I'm aware that article comments are often a cesspool of idiocy, however, I think these really hit home the rape culture that America seems to perpetuate.
Here's a good example:
"This is what is wrong with our country -- nobody wants any accountability......everybody wants to shirk responsibility and blame those who are not wrong.
The sum of it is : the little girl should have never been allowed to leave the house looking like she did. The PARENTS should be held responsible.
This lawmaker is not defending the rapists nor is she blaming the little girl -- she's trying to hold people responsible for the safety and well-being of their children. How hard is that to see? It's because she's a Republican that she is being attacked. If she were a democrat, we'd never have heard a peep about this story."
Ok, let's look at what rape is, in order to better examine this statement. Rape is not about sex. It's not about someone looking sexy. It's about power over another individual. It's about the concept that women are there FOR men, that men can do with them what they wish. That is their place.
Let's blame the rapists, shall we? Let's blame THEIR parents, if you want to hold a parent accountable. Blame their parents for not raising them to respect women.
Now to look at the other main point that this video made that I want to address. She talks a lot about the laws we have that protect women, or give them a way out of situations. She mentions, very specifically, the laws against marital rape.
There's a great article from womens enews that addresses this quite well. One of the first things mentioned is:
"Studies indicate that between 15 and 25 percent of all married women have been victims of spousal rape and some scholars suggest that this type of rape is the most common form in our society."
You see, the marital rape exemption in US laws didn't even begin to change until 1976. At this point, every state has now criminalized spousal rape, however, it has a long way to go yet. In most states, spousal rape is considered separate from stranger rape, with far lesser penalties. Because of the culture in America, it's easy for so many of these to be settled out of court or dismissed. It's not that he's her husband. It's that she's HIS wife. That's the culture in America. That's why this argument doesn't hold water.
Let's take a look at the controversial video from Thunderf00t.
Now, excuse my break from form, but this has to be the foremost bit of excrement that I've ever had the displeasure of watching.
He's attacking people for wanting atheist conventions to be a safe and welcoming atmosphere to women in a movement that, until recent years, predominantly consisted of older white males. He's making many of the claims about feminists that Rush Limbaugh does, without actually using the term "feminazi." How dare those feminists want women to feel safe and be respected.
When I see the posts on atheist pages about feminism and watch the vehemence of atheists about how terrible feminists are, or how dare they want to be equal to men, it shows me how wrong this video is. One of the most common responses I see from atheists is the question of "why isn't there a men's right movement?" Oh, I don't know, probably because, worldwide, men hold privilege over women. They always have.
Now, historically, at least in the modern world, religion has been used to support this culture. A woman must be in her place, after all. Adam was created first and women was created FROM him to serve him. The problem is, even those who have cast aside the notion of god, still hold onto the notion that women are lesser, that they are there to serve man. They don't understand why it's not already to proposition a women in a dark elevator in the middle of the night. They don't understand why continuously making sexual comments or advances towards a woman who has told you not to is harassment. They just don't seem to get it.
I also want to examine why that culture exists to begin with. Worldwide, we have a culture of women as lesser people. We have a culture of rape being her fault. We have a culture of ignorance.
The above video shows the culture in Yemen. Child marriages are commonplace there and children becoming parents is expected. They don't care that it's damaging to the girl, in both mind and body, to be forced into this situation. It's a man's right to marry her and have sex with her, even as young as 11 or 12, so that he may have heirs.
In America, you have someone like Pat Robertson claiming that "awful looking" women are ruining marriages. A lot of us who aren't believers immediately dismiss this, because really, how relevant is he anymore, anyways? His show has an average of 1 million viewers daily. That's a wide reach for spewing that kind of garbage.
We have outrage in the media when someone loses their job because they propositioned an employee. This one always gets me. They claim that it's unreasonable, because after all, the person took no for an answer and left it at that. The problem is that, as an employer, a single advance to someone whose career you hold in your hands is incredibly damaging. You just said to them that it's not their work that matters. You want them for something else. You can have innocent intentions, but you've still overstepped a boundary that an employer never should.
In Saudi Arabia, a 15 year old girl had to barricade herself in the bedroom to avoid the wedding night "tradition" with her 90 year old groom, who paid $17.5k to marry her.
In Delhi, the victim of a gang rape was blamed for her rape because she didn't call on her religion to stop her attackers.
In Maldives, a 15 year old girl raped by her dad may be flogged for having sex with a man.
When is see this and more in the news, every single day, I have to wonder how anyone, especially people in the atheist community who claim to be rational, can even think to ask why we need feminism.
Here are some examples of what I've seen lately coming from atheist pages.
The fiery vag of mount doom? And this page, shortly after, insisted that it doesn't promote sexism in any way.
This is the comment posted with the first video I critiqued above.
I get the joke they're trying to make, about someone believing in god, however, when is saying a girl is gullible a good thing? Is that to imply that it'll be easier to take advantage of her?
This is pretty self explanatory.
I've got the pussy, I make the food? That's archaic and pretty biblical from an atheist page.
I encourage any rational person to cease giving your support to these pages for their blatant sexism and marginalization of women.
Luckily, we have some fantastic groups that are helping change this culture, this mindset.
Skepchick is a fantastic group, promoting women in science and skepticism.
FEMEN is a fatnastic group of activists working for women's causes worldwide.
Eaves has a lot going on as well.
So, in closing, the rape culture and the idea that women are lesser people is alive and well in the world, even in the most "civilized" of cultures. I would love to live in a world where feminism isn't needed, because it has nothing left to fight for. Unfortunately, that world doesn't exist. Until then, this should be a mantra.

This paper presents the results of the research project "The Effectiveness of Judicial Contempt Power in Writ of Protection Cases. A Case Study, Bogotá (2007)". Its purpose is to identify and analyze the variables that influence the effectiveness of contempt requests in terms of the satisfaction of fundamental rights. In order to do so, the research intended to have a quantitative approach with exploratory boundaries. The project examined a total of 431 files in criminal, civil, administrative, labor and family courts in Bogota in 2007. The study shows an overview of ineffectiveness of the legal instrument and the need for its reform, together with the development of new tools to promote compliance based on different theoretical perspectives.

SAVE Dining Room vs. Extra Bathroom
Sale at 120 East 75th Street #3D
What do people think about the trade-offs in the renovation of this apartment? It looks like the owners were able to put in a new bath for the Master Bedroom, which certainly add value. However, they also switched the locations of the bedroom and dining room. By adding closets, they also halved the size of the new dining room and made it look like a hallway.
I personally liked the original floorplan, but the lack of a second bathroom has to be a big issue for any potential buyer. However the new playout looks awkward and creates a sprawling Living Room, though not in a good way. Thoughts? How could it have been done differently and/or better?
a trade-off no doubt ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder
so for a guest to go to the bathroom they need to go into one of the bedrooms. having a room with 2 WIC that is not that large doesn't make too much sense. lastly, why didn't they just put W/D where the shower was in the maid's room and make it a small 1/2 bath for guests to use????
strange to say the least
I like the new layout better except that you need to go through a bedroom to get to either bathroom. Maybe should have made the converted bedroom into the master and left the other bathroom open at end of hall.
What is the makeup of the family living there?
New bath not the issue for me here - that definitely adds value. I much prefer having a separate DR and two smaller BRs over the current arrangement. If clothes storage was a biggie here, I'd much rather do some clever closet builtins in the maid's r.
Love it, a great design as far as maximizing space, if you need to compromise a little to get a 3 bed, 2 proper baths. I see it that you are
- Separate dining room
- Pantry
- Tiny second bathroom
- A larger master bathroom. (plus upgrading the maids to a normal size)
- 2 WIC for the master
- Making the maids room a proper 3rd bedroom.
- If they got rid of that closet at the end of the living room (the only decision I didn't like), it would be a great square combined living and dining, without compromise.
have you seen 4X7 WIC? they are not that Walk-In at all. have 2 regular closets with custom closet systems would yield similar storage.
These were great comments. I think ultimately it would have made more sense to swap the bedroom and dining room, then to install the new bath, but to leave the door at the end of the hall open so that it was a hall bath.
The maid's room seems like a separate issue to me. In it's current configuration, I can't imagine getting much use out of it besides having a laundry room. It would have been better to leave the bath and/or WD separate from the room. Alternatively, an eat-in kitchen could have partially made up for the loss of the dining room.
I'm not sure I understand this at all: what bathroom would the person in the maid's room use? Would s/he walk through someone else's bed room in the middle of the night? Even if it were a family member, that doesn't seem like a good plan--kind of mean's someone couldn't use it as a three-bedroom, but consign the "maid's room" to being a home office.

Dark Waters
- [Temporarily in Hiatus] -
A crime/detective and noir-style story from the somber streets of Canterlot, where there lie many secrets in the shadows of the alleyways. A lone pegasus named Valiant Steed and his brother are left in the care of their passing parent's old friend and practically family member, Seamus Gumhoof. A rouge detective who's the best to come out of Trottingham. While the brothers are living with him, they tend to take care of the house while Gumhoof goes on detective duty. What will happen when Valiant's brother, Noble, gets kidnapped and Gumhoof isn't around? A mad chase and tale linking up with the most dangerous factions in Equestria will test the bravery and courage of the young colt. Will Valiant succeed in finding his brother as well as others he loves? Will he use Gumhoof's wisdom and advice from the years living with him? Only time will tell.
This is a prequel to another fiction of mine, "Son of Eternity", but you DO NOT need to read it in order to understand or enjoy this story. It takes place five years before "SoE" and none of the mane six or the main character of "SoE" will be present in this story. However, familiar faces from the show will be recognized throughout the fiction. The fiction itself will be separated into Five Acts. Each Act will be very long (Over 10k words each) and will be separated by long intermissions of time. It will be updated and completed eventually, but I want this fiction to be soaked in slowly and enjoyed by my readers gradually since each Act will be cram packed full of story.

Here we go again! My love life is unfolding in front of your eyes, and I will say that I will take a big part of the blame for not setting a date for the wedding. I let time go by, because I was so preoccupied with work and traveling. I always tell my friends or people I meet that if you get engaged, make sure to plan the wedding and set a date right away and go for it. Otherwise you get into your everyday life, and when time passes, it doesn't seem to be a priority anymore. The excitement goes away, especially if you are busy with projects and always traveling and basically living out of your luggage.
I always knew in my heart I love Romain and want to be with him, but I feel I always shied away from making the big move, because I wanted to still have my freedom. Maybe at some point in my life I felt once I married I wouldn't have the freedom to do whatever I want or that maybe he will want me to be the typical housewife (which of course would never happen as I am an independent woman, and no one tells me what to do). I was happy being engaged, but now I feel that after so many years I need to put my foot down and finally start planning the wedding or break up and move on. It's not that my career is any less important to me now and that's why I am more ready, but more that I feel after five years you just have to make that commitment. Otherwise another five years will go by and I may have regrets. (Plus I want to look good in my wedding gown and still be youthful!).
I hate to say it, but I think something sexual has happened between Romain and the sister. Why does she get so emotional when he does things, it's not a normal brother/sister-in-law relationship. It seems like she's constantly talking or crying about him.
If it's a good healthy relationship, a piece of paper isn't going to make it any better or any stronger. For some it's completely the opposite. I would never tell anyone to not get married, being divorced makes my opinion questionable, but I can also speak to what I know. I'm always amazed how many people insist the end result of any serious relationship has to be in marriage considering it has a 50% fail rate. If marriage is for you, do it and god bless. If you are happy as you are, god bless as well and don't let anyone define your relationship but you yourself. You sound plenty capable of taking care of yourself ....
I'm already bored with you.
I think your sister needs to move out. If there is tension with she and Romain it's because she is invading his space. Encourage her to get her own place so you can focus on your relationship. You are beautiful but who cares if you're old and alone. When your sister gets a man I'm sure she will put him before you and honestly at a certain age that's what you should do. Other than that, I like you. No sex is a red flag. Focus on your relationship for a bit before rushing into marriage.
I could be jumping the gun, but I don't think you've been too busy with work to plan the wedding. I think you have been too busy with work to recognize the damage you have on your hands with Romain. He clearly does not make you happy. It seems as though you're talking about marriage as a task to check off the list. I don't see him complimenting you at all.
I didn't care for the first set off Miami housewives but Alexia and here we go again. What is wrong with you people? At least the last group didn't lay down and let their men walk all over them. HELLO ladies??? You and Karent blow my mind. The minute you have to start asking your man do you want to marry me- you should had already been out the door. Being in love is simple. When it's right, your man is on his knees with a ring in hand to make sure he has you in his arms every mornig for the rest of his life. You and Karent just make me sad the way you almost beg for these men. I got married at 18 years old- i kid you not. I just celebrated my 21st anniversary and we've been blessed with 3 gorgeous kids and we are still completely in love with each other because we "get" marriage and everything it means. I've never even wanted to be with another man. But most of all- I've never not once had to question his love, his commitment to me and our family, or his devotion to our happiness. You should never be in a posotion to question your mans love or devotion. You should be able to walk around a confident woman in his commitment to you. We make sure we each know the other never has to worry about straying eyes.There's nothing worse than your partner not giving you the respect of his commitment and total heart.
Hi Joanna! You have an amazing beauty and great sense of humor. As wonderful as a close sister is, you're living together, spending all your free time together? You and Marta were joking it up on the couch, while Romain asked a legitimate question about food shopping and meals. Maybe that's how it is in your house, but putting your fiance first may enhance your communication and sex life. And I only mention sex because you told the world that he isn't very interested in pursuing it with you. A little emasculating, yes?
What excuse does Marta have for barging into your bathroom while your fiance is showering, not just once, but a FEW times? Girlfriend, please. Set boundaries.
Girl, u shouldn't feel rushed to get married, it's a piece of paper, some men change think they own u!!?? U need to go to a couples therapy course, u need to see the worst in a mate before you get married!! If not u will be divorced. U r stunning, that being said. No sex?? Red flag! No healthy male goes with out sex girl?? U need to both work on Marriage u have a pretty dress,and 500 guests will not help u both, just put u in debt.. Reconnect before u marry,find what u love about each other.. Do me a favor pLEASE do NOT use fillers ever in that beautiful face, age gracefully, all that crap is tested on ANIMALS!!??
Joanna good job fighting for the animals! That made you my favorite!
Need more time with you and your sister Marta... You both are gorgeous...
Your sister really needs to get her own place. Simple solution. If you and Romain are to get married your husband will come first because he is your family. Your extended family comes second.
He'd be a fool not to marry you
I really liked you on dancing with the starts..
Romain is jealous of Marta because Marta takes a lot of Joanna's attention. That's pretty obvious.
As close as the sisters are, Marta should get her own life, then some of the problems between the 3 of them will disappear.
Aspiring actress/singer but basically following in your sister's shadow isn't really showing ambition Marta. She seems a bit spoiled and aimless.
Joanna, no matter what age you get married, you will ALWAYS be a stunningly beautiful woman! You could have any man you want. Romain is an idiot if he doesn't marry you FAST! Don't waste too much more time with him if he is not willing to give you the committment you want and deserve!
