. Noticed your nice avatar on a buddy profile Congratulations on posting for 2827 consecutive days, also 2.89 MM points, very good. Lets be buddies also. Thanks Shep.
There seems to be a lot of newbies on here lately that have posted nothing but fake prices since they joined and it's very frustrating! One guy named dynasty66 keeps flooding the boards with a couple of dozen Brampton price postings which are always at least ten cents lower than reality. I wish these fake price posters would just go away, but unfortunately when one is gone, two take their place :(
Happy belated birthday!
Congratulations on the new racer and the retiring of the big rig!
Have used Antonovs to move turbine rotors. They are most assuredly large....
You have exactly 200 more consecutive days than I have.
Antonov 225. Awesome!
Wishing you & your family a happy & safe Easter holiday !

When dogs do something – be it digging, exploring, greeting or playing – they do it full on, just like children, and using their entire bodies, not giving a damn how they look in the process. And why would they? These 15 images of gravity-defying dogs playing frisbee are just amazing – and funny too! Almost makes you wish you were a dog (well, maybe just for a day).
Here's what a wet dog catching a frisbee looks like. Wild and frizzy, for sure, but also very determined. The way its hind and fore legs are parallel is just amazing. And we'll be getting to know this aerodynamic pooch, named Trixie, a little better during the course of this post!
This mutt's expression is priceless – and the bared teeth also clearly say, "Don't mess with me and my frisbee." We wouldn't dare!
"Yup, it's mine!" is what Trixie seems to be saying in this dramatic – and hilarious – capture, in which she adds grace and a nifty karate chop to the whole frisbee-playing thing. According to Trixie's proud owner (and photographer) Emery Way, her sole aim seems to be to "wear out as many toys as possible." We can believe it!
This dog playing frisbee on the beach is using its owner as a springboard! Clever! We love the way this mutt has stretched itself out, not to mention its wide-open mouth, eager for the catch. Awesome capture.
What a catch! This dog is so engrossed in the game that only the frisbee seems to exist for it. A great moment captured on camera that manages to morph thing and beast into one airborne frisbee-dog! Brilliant!
Jack Russell terriers are often considered an energetic breed, and it's no coincidence that they feature in many of our images. Not only do these cheerful dogs appreciate a good game of frisbee, they thrive on exercise generally and need a decent amount of stimulation throughout the day to provide an outlet for all that energy. This one has made a spectacular mid-air catch. High five!
This dog's got quite a spring in its step – or jump, we should say! It looks to be just as athletic and driven as any of the other canines featured here. We're wondering how all these dogs would fare as a team.
The Jack Russell terrier shown here is one of our favorites. Its zeal and determination, and the way it's able to twist its body around for the catch, are hard to match. Here it looks like it's on its way down and preparing for landing, judging from the way its teeth are digging into the bright red frisbee. We love it!
Looks like this dog got its knickers in a twist trying to catch this frisbee. Without giving a second thought to its potentially painful landing, it's going all out for the catch. Truly admirable.
This black-and-white Border Collie was a favorite with the crowd that it entertained so effortlessly at a county fair. Who says dogs can't fly?
Here, we can see Trixie, the Jack Russell terrier we met earlier, and Lily, a Collie and Golden Retriever cross, engaged in what looks like something out of the National Football League. Given Trixie's ability to make awesome leaps in even the trickiest of situations, we're guessing she safely made away with the touchdown-scoring pass!
This Border Collie might be called the anti-gravity dog as even the landscape around it has disappeared. With these skills, we reckon it should try its hand at the high jump!
This athletic dog proves that the key to a good catch is a twist in the tail... or should that be body? While the open mouth is just about to snap tightly around the frisbee and the front paws are on their way down, the hind legs are still in mid-jump – and appear to have a life of their own! Spectacular capture.
Here we meet Trixie and Lily again – yes, still engaged in their game of frisbee! While Trixie has caught the frisbee in another gravity-defying jump, Lily seems to be thinking, "Just wait till you come down and the frisbee will be mine..." Gotta love the spirit of both doggies!
Here's fuzzy dog Zeus jumping for a frisbee, not bothered that the wind is ruffling his fur quite a bit. We can't even see the frisbee, but why else would this Greek god of a dog be jumping so high?
This Border Collie is almost giving the term airborne a new meaning. Aerodynamic to the max! A highly impressive pooch, and a brilliant, artistic capture as well.
Here's another angle on the same catch. We just love the outstretched fore and hind legs. Like Jack Russell terriers, Border Collies are a highly energetic breed. As we can see here, they are also acrobatic, athletic and love a good game of any kind.
After seeing Trixie performing back flips like this one, people tend to get worried about the dog having a safe landing. However, as photographer Emery Way assured us, "She made the catch and landed on her feet!" What's amazing is that this wasn't a one-off jump, but seems to be one of Trixie's standard catching moves. Says Emery: "I've seen her do it a hundred times. It's hard to get a sharp pic of it because she jumps backwards toward me and out of focus." We just wonder what exactly these Jack Russell terriers are made of!
Walking on air seems to be no problem for this dog, which may well take the biscuit! According to photographer Trevor Gregg, who took the shot: "This was taken during the frisbee dog exhibition at the annual Bowserfest in Dunedin, Florida. A few of the dogs could jump up to about 6 feet in the air and land on their feet every time like cats!" Frisbee dog exhibition? That sound like our kind of event!
Looking at these incredible images of dogs charging, jumping and flying through the air while catching frisbees makes humans playing frisbee seem positively boring by comparison. It also makes us almost wish we had four legs instead of two!

"I loved the simplicity of this design. The front was not too busy as to take away from the photo. It was modern and clean. I especially was drawn to the card because of the pop of yellow on the back and the option to add a photo. This is perfect if you have a photo you'd like to share that doesn't work with the card design. When the card arrived, I was really impressed by the thickness of the paper and sharpness of the photo."
"Excellent customer service! I was assured that my additional request would be just as I wanted. The product was super cute and I got nothing but compliments from all the people I sent it to! Worth every cent--and I'm still ordering extras, which is really easy, because more and more people want one."
"My daughter was born in January and I thought the hearts tied in nicely with Valentine's Day (around when the cards were received). We have the announcement framed in our living room and I still look at it and love it almost every day. I put my daughter's name in pink and mixed-and-matched fonts.."
"I love this design as it reminds me of my Australian birth certificate. Although mines was with out photos. I was very excited to send this one out to friends and family. They all loved the design and loved how we added photos to the back of the card. The card turned out to be better than I had expected. I will treasure this always."
"I loved the colors used and the modern design. The paper quality was nice--I did get the double thickness which had a very substantive weight, but I think the standard thickness would have been great as well."

Has anybody got any expereince of displaying website KPIs to staff. Thinking of a fun cool way of focusing the company on a small number of KPIs such as # unique visitors, average session time, registered users etc etc.
I have heard of a company called 3D Stats who seem to have a product that might do the job using a LCD TV to show live web stats etc but also thinking of something in visual and attention grabbing in the reception area. Needs to be fun!!!
You might be able to export a report from your existing web stats package and import this into something else. A Flash application could pull in data dynamically and this could be displayed on your intranet and also on a display screen.
However, this might depend upon where your website is located and how frequently/quickly you can export or download the source data. But do make sure that your data is validated before you display it. If you have a security breach, you might not want statistics relating to that appearing.
Similarly avoid displaying "top search terms" in case it encourages staff to spam the system! Like the motorists who want to see their number plate on the speed warning display. Also you might not want some (confidential) data appearing on a display in the reception area if this has public access.

I had a meeting with an online retailer yesterday who have LCD display's on the wall with real time revenue stats displayed. Not sure who provides the software etc but I think it's an absolutely excellent idea, reminds everyone what they are there for and fun to watch the counter going up! I'll PM you a contact.
Thanks - I'll look forward to recieving your email. That company I mentioned was 3DLivestats although they haven't got back to me yet - I'll let you know how I get on.

The workaround is to temporarily copy all of the files to a separate folder, then use that folder as your source to burn the CD.

Cacio e Vino
Online Reservations
Like its sibling, Cacio e Pepe, Cacio e Vino serves excellent pastas in a rustic setting at affordable prices. I strongly recommend their sea urchin ribbon pasta dish, as well as their duck ragu tube pasta dish (I dont recall exactly which noodles they used). I'd also recommend patience; their service can be quite slow, but the pasta is worth the wait.
Food was very enjoyable. Special kudos to oyster shucker; the oysters were pristine.
dinner was very good, service friendly and helpful -- can't ask for much more.
We visited the restaurant for an early dinner so I can't account for the noise level later in the evening. Our waiter was pleasant, chatted about menu selections, made a few suggestions. The food was excellent - our appetizer was especially tasty - calamari, shrime and zucchini, very nicely presented. The pasta was a little different from what we've had before - and our waiter explained that the restaurant featured the sicilian style and we'd probably had mostly roman style. I guess the tables were a little tight, but since it was early that was not a problem. The wine selections were varied - and the pour was not stingy! A very enjoyable meal on all levels. We'll definitely return
Seriously, some of the best food I've had. Didn't know what to expect when we walked into the restaurant, hadn't heard anything about it. What a surprise!! Already recommended it to my daughter. Waiter couldn't have been more accomodating.
loved the food, great service, pasta is made there and prosecco kept coming! we loved our waiter too.
great food and service, location/surroundings mediocre
I had a lunch on mother's day, i just can say Great food, great service..... I really did like the branzino al sale also I liked who cleaned the fish in front of me, very friendly and funny guy
I decided to take myself back to Cacio e Vino's restaurant on Mother's Day. As a treat for myself I wanted to taste my Sicilian roots in the delicate and exotic flavors of Sicilian cooking. The chef's cooking is flawless. The wine as always was delectable and my sea urchin pasta was the best. Our appetizers were a meal in itself: The caponata with chick pea fritters was my daughter's favorite and the timballo with melanzano and buffalo mozzarella is like nothing you have ever tasted in your life. The baked gnocchi was a very subtle dish with mozzarella and basil with tomatoe but the mussels Southern Italian style was the best that I have ever had. The sauce was just a bit spicey but the cherry tomatoes melted in our mouths.
We came here with a Groupon and I was a little worried after reading other reviews from people with Groupons, but that was not our experience at all. Our portions were full sized, as was the wine and we were able to order anything off the regular menu. The food was terrific, we had the Pasta with Peas, served from a huge wedge of cheese and it was amazing. I would go back again, with or without a Groupon.
I tried this restaurant because of a Groupon, and could not have been more delighted with the experience ... there was no problem using the groupon, the service was attentive, considerate, I asked for a recommendation and was certainly pleased with the entree recommended (the fish stew -- better than most equivalent dishes I've had in NY), it was just a very pleasant place to have dinner, really good food, not over-priced, felt like the "real deal" (I've spent time in Sicily, and although I can't swear to the authenticity, it is not your run-of the-mill Italian restaurant that is for sure). I'm looking forward to my next visit, the real test of how I feel about a place!
I'd never heard of the place and somehow felt that because they were right on Second Ave they would be ordinary, a tourist destination. Wrong. The food was exquisite, memorable. The leg of lamb was mind-blowing. I can't imagine how they made it so tender and succulent. Everything was great and the service was attentive and friendly. Wonderful surprise.
Being Sicilian and having been to Sicily many times - my wife and I were curious about Cacio e Vino. Diego, our host and server, was very friendly and helpful with our food and wine selection and made us feel like we were eating in a friend's restaurant. The food was authentic sicilian with dishes like panelle, grilled octopus with fennel and orange, and Anelleti alla Parlemitana - a must try! The Eggplant Timbale was delicious as was our wild arugula salad with shaved primosale. The best way to enjoy this menu is to order a bunch of appetizers so you can enjoy all the flavors this island has to offer! We couldn't think of a better meal to complement our anniversary and will definitely be back to our little slice of "Sicily in America"!
Very enjoyable experience. Fine southern Italian cuisine and friendly service. The open kitchen is fun to watch.
All to often, a waiter is merely a food carrier - they take your order and schlep your food to your table. But every now and again a waiter stands out for trying to help you have a marvelous time at his restaurant: he knows the menu and the wine list, and he listens to you as you ask your first few question, and . . . . he gets you! That was Cacio e Vino. The waiter listened and made great recommendations - he checked back to make sure they worked - he understood what we were asking about and took care of us. And when the stray friend arrived, he was served instantly. It was a great evening and a special restaurant!
The food was tasty and the service was very good. Our waiter was especially helpful in picking a delicous (inexpesive) wine.
Father's Day was a delicious dinner . As always, Diego was warm and welcoming as if I had gone home to my cugini in Palermo. He is a knowledgeable somelier; always right on the money when it comes to wine. His food recommendations are amazing; you savor this absolutely delicious food. The fritti de pesce with calamari, shrimp and zucchini was so tasty and done to perfection; the spicy marinara sauce had a fresh taste of basil, tomatoes and seasonings like my nonna's seafood sauce. My grilled calamari with zucchini, cherry tomatoes was delicate, but sumptuous. I had to use bread to soak up the sauce. The Lamb Shank was the best in the city. My experience was one to remember forever. Service was attentive.. Grazie, Diego e Andrea.
My Sicilian American wife can by quite fussy about Sicilian/Italian food. Cacio e Vino passed her test. Our server, Diego, was great - made excellent suggestions on wines by the glass and steered us towards menu items we enjoyed very much. Memorable were the mussels with in a wonderful spicy sauce, eggplant timbale, and branzino. Good deserts and espresso.
Delicious and authentic Sicilian dishes which were wonderfully presented by waiters who were professional and easy to deal with. The seafood was fresh and grilled to perfection. Great neighborhood trattoria to relax and enjoy a tasteful meal.
We had great time, as usual. Cacio e vino's authentic Italian cuisine is fantastic. The owner and the staff are extremely warm and friendly.
Unpretentious and delicious food. We loved the calamare salad and the steak. Service was very efficient and friendly.
We had an early dinner reservation. We were seated promptly and given our menus. Service was efficient, neither too fast or slow. The food was quite good, especially an appetizer of zucchini, calamari and shrimp. This was not our first visit and I'm sure not our last since we have family in the area. I will say that the music, while not loud, could have been toned down somewhat. It was a little distracting.
Our group of six just returned from Sicily. We had our pre-travel dinner here st Cacio e Vino. It was so good that we returned for our post-travel dinner. Thanks Cacio e Vino.
The best Italian food we have had since we were in Italy. Great ambiance! The service was delightful and very attentive. The food was imaginative and paired well with the wine selection. Our server Diego was from Italy. He had great suggestions and made a fantastic cappuccino to finish off our meal. I wish I lived in NY, we would go once a week! Enjoy, I know you will!
Enjoyed the restaurant....was encouraged to buy more expensive bottle of wine but I declined. Very relaxed and unrushed. Everyone enjoyed their food. Caught off guard when we read on the menu that cash or American Express was only form of payment.
Great authentic Sicilian food. Super Italian waiters. Lots of fun.
I brought my youngest daughter to Cacio e Vino since she's never eaten there and she had the pasta with the sea urchin. She was delighted and said it tasted just like when we were in Agrigento! Our melanzane timballe was like heaven and the wine was perfect. Diego was the perfect host making you feel like you've entered a place of honor and each course is a symphony. Andrea is such an attentive server and just when you think you want something, there he is getting you exactly what you need. The place is indeed magical and always a treat to taste the cibo alla bella Sicilia! Bravissimo, Diego!
So delicious... food prepared so well. nice atmosphere, great service and their special dessert has left me craving it everynight. will be back.
This was perfect for dinner before the NY Theater Workshop! Food was delicious and served swiftly with a smile. Quick walk to the theater
This is the perfect example of a neighborhood Italian gem! Delicious and authentic food, great wines, & outstanding service. Server Massimo was so charming you'll want him to join you for dinner! The manager, Christine, and whole staff were so welcoming that you felt as though you were in their home, not a restaurant. Stand outs: arancina and grilled octopus, both fantastic. Pastas: the PACCHERI ALL'ASTICE - WOW and GNOCCHI ALL'ANATRA - perfect gnocchi. Main course TAGLIATA DI MANZO. Food was so good came back 2 days later with a group to try more! BUSIATE, ANELETTI & RIGATONI. I think I can safely recommend you add this to your fav Italian restaurants in NYC!
Delicious Sicilian recipes with a very homey feeling. Great atmosphere, highly recommended for a date night.
My parents were in town and my fiance and I were looking for some place close for dinner. Our experience was amazing. Portions were perfect and tasted incredible. The restaurant was out of my selection of wine and we were offered a more expensive, older vintage at the lesser price. I would say they might want to consider position numbers at the table because the gentleman who delivered our food auctioned off the plates and we couldnt understand him very well. We didnt save room for dessert which we regretted as their tiramisu looked delicious from afar. We will be back!
As always Cacio e Vino has it all. The atmosphere, the adventure in food and the service is tremendous. IT was our wedding anniversary and we enjoyed ourselves just like we did 31 years ago. We laughed, drank and ate ourselves into blissful celebration. Anna, our server was wonderful. She and I spoke some Sicilian words that made us both laugh. It's always a joy to visit Cacio e Vino. Abbundanza! Bravissimo a Maestro di Cucina!
Great Italian restaurant! I took my husband for his birthday. We really enjoyed the authentic food and the service was excellent! They even have gluten free pasta.
I have now been to Cacio e Vino four or five times and every time it has been superb. You find there dishes that are not Italian standards and that are just what you would have in a Sicilian or Sardenian trattoria--bucatoni with sardines and pine nuts, polipo (octopus) grilled to perfection--not mushy, not rubbery. One of my favorites is a not-so-simple spaghetti with peas, which comes to the table with an enormous cheese, into which the spaghetti is poured and swirled until it takes on a kind of creamy shellac of cheese--out of this world! Occasionally the service is a bit slow, but it is worth waiting for the attentive waiters to get to you. Also, the wait means that your food will be truly freshly cooked.
This restaurant serves consistently good food (I've been there about eight times to date). My parents were from Sicily and they have authentic Sicilian recipes on the menu in addition to some other Italian goodies that most Americans will recognize, e.g. tiramisu. My wife and I have NEVER had a bad meal. The owner is always there keeping on eye on things. He is a gracious man who ensures that his patrons are happy. Bravo!

Without water and food, and distrustful of the military forces outside the building, those who remained inside said they felt like hostages.
"We want to go home in a very polite way," Amin said. "It's a shame for our military persons to deal with our people like this."
A son of Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Mohamed Badie was killed Friday during a protest near the mosque, said the Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice party. Ammar Badie, 38, was shot in his neck and head.
More violence
Elsewhere in Cairo, the military engaged Friday night in battles with roving bands of armed protesters, state media reported.
Helicopters circled overhead, and there were reports that protesters were trying to shoot them down. Smoke wafted through Ramses Square from a fire that engulfed a nearby commercial building. It was unclear what caused the fire.
Death counts continued to rise in the confrontation that began Wednesday when an estimated 580 people were killed and 4,000 wounded as the military forced pro-Morsy protesters out of encampments in Cairo.
There was no apparent progress toward a political resolution to the crisis. An umbrella group for opponents of the military government called for daily demonstrations next week.
The casualties have not been limited to Morsy supporters and security forces. A number of bystanders, residents and journalists have been killed.
In northern Egypt, at least 25 people were killed and 171 wounded in fighting Friday between Morsy supporters and the military in the coastal city of Alexandria, a government spokesman said Saturday.
The Interior Ministry said 1,004 Muslim Brotherhood members were arrested Friday across Egypt. State-run Nile TV reported Brotherhood members were charged with rioting and creating violence. Authorities seized seven hand grenades, five automatic weapons, pistols and 710 rounds of ammunition, state media said.
French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for a meeting next week of European Union foreign ministers to coordinate a response.
U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the crackdown by security forces Thursday and canceled scheduled joint exercises by the U.S. and Egyptian military.
Obama received a briefing on Egypt on Saturday, a senior administration official told CNN.
Obama has declined to label Morsy's ouster by the military a coup, a declaration that would stop U.S. military aid to Egypt.

Serotonin is a chemical produced by nerve cells. The serum serotonin level is a blood test to measure the amount of serotonin in your body.
5-HT level; 5-hydroxytryptamine level; Serotonin test
Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test may be done to diagnose carcinoid syndrome. Many patients with carcinoid syndrome will have high levels of serotonin in blood and urine.
The normal range is 101-283 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Higher-than-normal levels may indicate carcinoid syndrome.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.

Freud's Gynecentric Opposition
Freud's emphasis on the Oedipal period and de-emphasis on women's mothering has been challenged from the very beginning even
from within the psychoanalytic movement itself. Karen Horney argued long ago that Freud's view of women as defective males was patent male bias, and as Nancy Chodorow notes, of all the explanations of penis envy that have ever been put forth, only Freud's is inconceivable.[12] Freud claimed that the instant a girl sees a boy's penis she knows she has been shortchanged. Freud does not even seek an explanation for penis envy because for him the explanation was obvious: any girl in her right mind would want one.
The reason that Mitchell in contrast to so many feminists accepts Freud's attribution of primary penis envy to girls has to do with her Lacanian-influenced view of Freud as a purveyor of cultural symbolism. She would say that the human psyche is phallocentric and is recreated in each generation, in "masculine civilization." As she puts it, "there is nothing neither true nor false but thinking makes it so, and if patriarchal thought is dominant then femininity will reflect that system: 'nature' is not exempt from its representation in mental life."[13] Mitchell contrasts her symbolic approach to the biologism of Horney, Klein, Jones, and others who argued against Freud and the primacy of penis envy (pp. 125–31).
I am not concerned with countering either Mitchell's totally symbolic approach or the biologism of those she criticizes. Neither will I focus on the long-standing battle over penis envy, which now seems well on the way to being won by those who deny its primacy in the development of "femininity." I am concerned instead with the more serious problem that pervades both sides of the phallocentric-gynecentric debate within psychoanalysis. Neither Freud, who epitomizes the phallocentric emphasis, nor the gynecentric theorists who challenge this emphasis have a conception of preoedipal gender that is not closely tied to heterosexuality. Even those psychoanalytic thinkers who have stressed womb and breast envy in boys and who see penis envy in girls as a secondary development maintain in one way or another the connections between femininity, heterosexuality, and passivity. Karen Horney, for example, who was one of the first to argue against Freud's ideas concerning females' initial penis envy, did so only to conclude that penis envy was a secondary development in females, which acted as a defense against girls' innate heterosexual desires for the father![14] Even though Freud's phallocentric conclusions were related to his merger of male dominance, heterosexuality, and masculinity,
those gynecentric theorists who stress women's mothering do not question the assumption that the basic elements of gender are heterosexuality and dominance-passivity. Fully as much as Freud, the gynecentric opposition sees passivity and heterosexuality as being the "normal" developmental result for females even though they posit differing starting points than did Freud and his followers.
Karen Horney, Ernest Jones, Melanie Klein, and more recently Janine Chassequet-Smirgel and Bela Grunberger all explain the girl's turn to the father as being related to an innate heterosexual desire.[15] They claim the girl does not want a penis because she feels shortchanged without one, but rather she wants a man because she is heterosexual. These authors do not see heterosexuality as being created in culture or interaction but as being given in nature. In a way this draws the connections between sexuality and gender even closer by treating them as purely biological. Freud, at least as Juliet Mitchell interprets him, can be seen as assuming women have to learn heterosexuality-femininity and at some cost to themselves at that. These gynecentric analysts, however, break the linkage Freud makes between reproduction and sexuality by treating sexuality, albeit heterosexuality, as intrinsically gratifying to women and not as a means to procreation, which Freud always interpreted it to be. Freud always assumed women wanted "sex" in order to have a baby, which was a penis substitute.
Freud increasingly came to understand that there were other relationships besides the Oedipus complex that established gender difference and lay behind the Oedipus complex. For example, in a paper written in 1921 entitled "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego," he says: "A little boy will exhibit a special interest in his father; he would like to grow like him and be like him, and take his place everywhere. We may say simply that he takes his father as his ideal . . . . It fits very well with the Oedipus complex, for which it helps to prepare the way."[16] Here he suggests that he does have a conception of gender identity that rests on a simple identification with the father as a mentor and ideal. Finally, in the later years of his life Freud began to make statements about the importance of the preoedipal mother attachment in girls and commented to the effect that there were depths to mental life that psychoanalysis had not explored. He compares the early preoedipal period in girls to the discovery in anthropology of the Minoan-
Mycenaean civilization that preceded the civilization of Greece.[17] But even in recognizing the importance of this period, he does not relate it to female gender identification. For him girls are "masculine" until they become feminized by the father.
Even though Chodorow is aware of these connections within psychoanalytic theory, she does not directly challenge them.[18] As we saw earlier, she explicitly states that she assumes the heterosexuality of the mother. Rather, her contribution is to describe the relational context (the girl's experience of self in relationship, the boy's less relational self) in which "heterosexuality and these identifications get constituted" (p. 113). She does discuss how heterosexuality differs for men and women because of the primacy of the mother in the early lives of both genders. In so doing she makes a beginning toward decreasing the importance of heterosexuality to females as she discusses the daughter's emotional tie to her mother and her merely erotic tie to the father. She speaks of the daughter as being at least genitally heterosexual and implies that this erotic tie is not as deep as the female-to-female emotional tie. Chodorow's hedging suggests to me that she recognizes that if one gives up the tie that exists by definition between heterosexuality and gender, one comes dangerously close to giving up psychoanalytic accounts of gender development.
In sum, both phallocentric and gynecentic psychoanalytic conceptualizations conflate dominance and being sexually attracted to females with masculinity, and submissiveness and being sexually attracted to males with femininity. This has the effect of justifying inequality by making it appear that heterosexuality and deference to the male partner are central components of female gender identity. The alternatives open to women within this scheme appear to be to give up dominance and be feminine, to be asexual, which presumably makes one a neuter, or a nonperson, or to be homosexual, which of course Freud associated with being masculine. (This creates problems for those lesbians who attempt to use Freud, since many lesbians do not see themselves as masculine.) Gayle Rubin suggests that if fathers also mothered, primary object choice might be bisexual.[19] The bisexual solution does not challenge the fundamental categories, however; it merely makes an amalgam of them. Thus "bisexual" would be a mixture of masculine and feminine, which in terms of psychoanalytic assumptions would mean
heterosexual and homosexual, dominant and submissive. Just as with the "androgyny" scales, putting two wrongs together does not make a right. Mitchell and Rubin, in accepting Freud uncritically as describing the way things are in the human psyche, can find no way out. For them the only way out would be to somehow do away with gender, which they assume must be defined in terms of sexuality. As noted earlier, both have now repudiated this formulation.
In her more recent work, Mitchell takes a very different tack and argues that by no means do we give up gender, since "human subjectivity cannot ultimately exist outside a division between the sexes—one cannot be no sex." But she then goes on to claim that the castration complex organizes what that difference is. This difference, she says, is not the presence of the penis in males and its absence in females and thus the difference between symbolic power and its absence, but is rather a problem in not being whole for both males and females. Thus she says, "The castration complex is not about women, nor men, but a danger, a horror to both—a gap that has to be filled in differently by each. In the fictional ideal type this will be [filled in] for the boy by the illusion that a future regaining of phallic potency will replace his totality; for the girl this will be achieved by something psychically the same: a baby. Phallic potency and maternity—for men and women—come to stand for wholeness."[20] Here Mitchell appears to have forgotten all about male dominance in the sense of the normativeness of "masculinity." In her earlier reading of Freud she gave full play to his view that it was harder for women to become feminine than it was for men to become masculine because femininity meant accepting phallocentric culture. At the very end of her article she begins to speculate that femininity is not the same as motherhood, because mothers are symbolically about plenitude, fullness, completeness. This may or may not lead her in the direction I have been taking.
Writing in the 1970s, Gayle Rubin declared that to end inequality, gender differentiation and the Oedipus complex must be destroyed. This followed from the assumption that gender was created in the oedipal period. In 1984 she argues we must distinguish between gender and erotic desire and points out that the "semantic merging [of sex and gender] reflects a cultural assumption that sexuality is reducible to sexual intercourse and that it is a function of the relations between women and men."[21] Her "solution" now is
that we need to develop a theory of sexuality less tied to gender. I shall return to this later.
To some extent the French feminists, too, who are attempting to redefine femininity while remaining within the Freud-Lacan tradition have been caught up in a problem that psychoanalytic accounts of gender development have created. In my view these efforts fail to the extent that they fail to critique the conflation I have been discussing. At its best psychoanalysis can be seen as an attempt to describe the social construction of gender in the nuclear family, but at the same time it reinforces a construction that makes sex-object choice and the active-passive distinction the central problematic.
In sum, then, the psychoanalytic conceptualization of masculinity and femininity has conflated dominance and sexual attraction to females with masculinity, and submissiveness and sexual attraction to males with femininity. Then, in a manner somewhat analogous to the way in which androgyny scales were constructed, the assumption is made that biological males and females generally possess a mixture of both masculinity and femininity. Freud envisioned children as being bisexual and at other times both boys and girls as being masculine. In either case, the "normal" outcome was for masculinity to predominate in anatomical males (anatomy becomes destiny) and for femininity to predominate in anatomical females, although this was more difficult. Freud sees this transformation as occurring during the oedipal period with its final solidification taking place at adolescence, after a period of sexual latency.
While this conceptualization is "liberal" in the sense that femininity appears to be not at all a foregone conclusion but instead a defeat for women, the problem lies in the assumptions that Freud makes about the nature of masculinity and femininity in the first place. By tying heterosexuality to gender identity itself, Freud makes it impossible to see that what oppresses women is the way in which heterosexual relationships themselves are structured.

Detroit's Packard Plant Faces Foreclosure For Unpaid Taxes
Occupy LA Offers Aid to Columbine Shooting Survivor Facing a Fight to Save his Home from Foreclosure
Foreclosure Starts Slowed for August
California legislators have proposed a number of bills which would be lumped together to become the "Homeowners Bill of Rights," intended to prevent future foreclosure abuses.
The "Homeowners Bills of Rights," has the support of a number of Democratic legislators and the state's Attorney General Kamala Harris. Some of the key provisions would call for increased documentation from mortgage servicers and would not allow banks to serve a default notice if the borrower has applied for a mortgage modification within an approved time frame.
Homeowners would also be allowed to retain a foreclosure attorney and challenge their default notice in court. Banks would face a $10,000 civil penalty for "robo-signing" documents, meaning they have not been checked for accuracy or mistakes.
The California Bankers Association objects to the "Homeowners Bills or Rights" citing that the provisions would give people the incentive to strategically default on their mortgages and used the added protections to avoid making payments. They also fear that lawsuits could be filed based on technical errors in mortgage documents.
California has been hit hard by the housing crisis and won a sum from the $25 billion national foreclosure settlement. California foreclosure lawyers have fought to keep many people in their homes but the state is still struggling and the foreclosed homes are weighing down on neighborhoods and housing prices.
Recently, legislators passed an anti-blight bill that would require that homeowners who could not stop foreclosure must maintain lawns and repair any broken windows and other signs of vandalism.
Millions of homeowners have been affected by the housing crisis. There are some steps a person can take to prevent foreclosure such as a short sale or mortgage modification, but some borrowers don't qualify for this option. A California foreclosure attorney can outline the troubled homeowner's options and help them determine which course of action they should take.

SYRACUSE -- The 30th annual Syracuse Jazz Festival will feature an impressive, eclectic lineup of acts including jazz legend Kenny G.
The event will be held on in June at Jamesville Beach. This is the first year at that location after a conflict arose with the new SRC Arena on the campus of Onondaga Community College, which hosted the festival for the last ten years. It attracts tens of thousands of fans each year.
This morning, festival founder Frank Malfitano gathered with Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney and leaders of title sponsor M&T Bank to unveil this year's lineup.
Smooth jazz legend Kenny G will perform at this year's event along with Billy Vera and the Beaters' frontman Billy Vera and his 18-piece All-Star Syracuse Big Band, original Allman Brother's percussionist Jaimoe and his Jasssz Band, Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Gregory Porter, and five-time Austin Music Awards and SXSW Music Awards winners, Mingo Fishtrap.
The event will also feature artists from France (Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Jazz Competition-winner Cyrille Aimée), Brazil (Diego Figueiredo) Austria (Harri Stojka's Hot Club of Vienna) and Scotland (the Iconic Folk-Jazz Legend Donovan). Another major international support act will be announced on April 15th.
"Very few festivals nationwide reach their 30th Anniversary, so this year's Jazz Fest is a huge accomplishment for our entire community, and one that would have been impossible without M&T's support," Malfitano said. "As everyone knows, it's a very difficult time right now for nonprofits, and for major music festivals and cultural institutions in particular."
Malfitano also credits Onondaga County lawmakers, saying the festival would not have happened without their support. "Each of Onondaga County's major branches, from the office of the County Executive, to the ranks of the County Legislature, clearly realize that Jazz Fest serves tens of thousands of County residents annually, while offering residents and regional visitors to the area top name talent free of charge," Malfitano said. "And they further realize that the festival serves not only those who live here, but also simultaneously promotes tourism, which generates a significant amount of economic development for the entire Syracuse region each June."
Jazz Fest will be held Friday, June 22 and Saturday, June 23 at Jamesville Beach Park. Admission is free.

Saw this online with good reviews and thought it would be a good value. Unfortunately this hotel doesn't deliver. First of all, the hotel has no amenities.
