dachshunds when spelled looks like it should sound like docks and shunned.
There are many dachshunds on the internet.
Here are a few of my favorites.
~ the breed's name is German and literally means "badger dog"
~Many dachshunds, especially the wire-haired sub type, may exhibit behavior and appearance that are similar to that of the terrier group of dogs.
(ed note: Fans of Chris Guest are already aware that GOD LOVES A TERRIER.)
~the dachshund is the only certifiable breed of dog to hunt both above and below ground.
(like your mom)
~they are featured in many a joke and cartoon, particularly The Far Side by Gary Larson.
~if a dachshund is brindled on a dark coat and has tan points, you will see brindling on the tan points only.
brindle my points
~the ONLY disqualifying Fault in Dachshunds is Knuckling over.
knuckle my trunkle
~Dachshunds can have a blue and a brown eye.
Like Kate Blah-sworth
~Dachshunds are playful.
Like your dad. ;-) ...say hi for me.
~Many dachshunds do not like unfamiliar people, and many will growl or bark at them.
~Some writers and daschund experts have theorized that the early roots of the dachshund go back to ancient Egypt, where engravings were made featuring short-legged hunting dogs.
~Dachshunds are popular pets in the United States, ranking seventh in the 2008 American Kennel Club registration statistics.
Write something using one of the above photos as your prompt. Send your something to firstname.lastname@example.com by next Saturday. My favorite dachshund-derived writing will be posted on the blog, and I will also buy the winner a copy of Best of the Web 2009. If you already have Best of the Web 2009, I will buy you something else instead. Special love will be felt for anyone who uses one of the little-known dachshund facts as a sentence in your dachshund-derived writing.
Happy badger hunting!

Holy Shit!

My grandmother had a dachshund that would eat anything -- even dry Bisquick and the stuffing out of clean disposable diapers. He was so fat that when he sat up and begged, he could literally sit on his butt and his back legs would stick out in front of him about an inch off of the ground. He'd also steal perfume samples out of magazines and roll around on them. When he died, he was about 40 pounds. He was so awesome.
Unfortunately, he also pretty much ruined me for writing about any other dachshund. So I can only hope you get some great entries. - 8:06 PM

This is great. Can't wait to see who wins!

my dachshund peed in my dad's ski cap. the next day we took her to an alligator farm (not sure why) where she slipped out of her harness to chase a pair of emus around a pen. so I was chasing my dog who was chasing emus. I do not care to write about this incident.
- Tim Jones-Yelvington said...
Laura, I think maybe you just did. :-)
- Lauren B. said...
I had a dachshund (Amos) growing up. He lived to be sixteen. He was not the smartest creature alive. Erin mentioned eating habits but not the one favored by Amos -- eating his own excrement.
Despite his hideous breath, I loved him a lot and already have a (terrible) dachshund story I might have to pull out and revise for your contest ... Thanks for bringing back some stinky, yet very happy, memories! - 8:44 PM

Tom Angleberger, a former GeekDad contributor, has a couple of books for middle schoolers that are quite funny and work in a lot of fun geeky references. You may have heard of the first two: The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and its sequel Darth Paper Strikes Back were published in 2010 and 2011. Coming up in May, Angleberger has a new book out that's still set in middle school but goes off in an entirely different direction: Fake Mustache.
My 8-year-old daughter and I have read all three together and had a lot of laughs, so I thought I'd tell you a bit about the books.

A new correspondent -- and apparently the kind of student we'd all like to have -- writes:
As a student, I have gotten a lot more careful over the years with how I fill out student evaluations, because I know more about what they mean for the instructors. I've read a lot of complaints on academic blogs that students do not carefully fill out the evaluations and that their criticism is sometimes unfair. I try hard to be both constructive and fair. I almost always include written comments, unless I've got absolutely nothing to say.

A new correspondent writes:
I am a new department chair. The staff love to decorate for any and all holidays. Recently they have put up the tree, tinsel and various other baubles. One of my faculty members has objected to the "religious" decorating. I am aware that the Supreme Court ruled that the tree is not a religious symbol and the staff haven't put up angels or anything of that sort. However, I am sympathetic to the complaint. What would you do?
It's a great question, and I hate it.

Our top moments of the week:12. Worst Side-Stepping: Who says that Teri Hatcher is estranged from her Desperate Housewives co-stars? Certainly not Eva Longoria, who, during an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman, semi-convincingly reports, "We all get along." Dave isn't buying it, of course, and presses on. "Didn't one get fired?" he asks. (We think he means Nicollette Sheridan.) "Yes, I forgot about that one," Longoria responds. "She didn't get fired. ... She died on the show!" So that's what that pesky multi-million dollar lawsuit was all about! read more
After a season-long feud with Brendon and Rachel, Vanessa and Ralph — who are no longer a couple — were edged out by their foes for the third and final spot on The Amazing Race. But who knows what would've happened had Vanessa not performed the Japanese game show Roadblock on a bum ankle. "We try not to think about it too much," she tells TVGuide.com. "It is what it is, but I can't even describe how painful it was running, jumping and falling down over and over again. ... Of course we wanted to win and beat them, but they beat us fair and square." But how did this verbal warfare all start? Get the duo's side of the story below. read more
For a bit, The Amazing Race finale seemed like a two-team race between eventual winners Rachel and Dave, and Brendon and Rachel. But then the Big Brother duo took a cab instead of going on foot to a helicopter. "That was awful," Rachel tells TVGuide.com. "It was the $1 million mistake that you don't want to make. If it was any other leg, it wouldn't have been that bad because those are about survival; the goal is to win on the final leg." The pair finished in third, but not before having another one of their notorious meltdown fights. Where there more meltdowns that we didn't see? Find out below. Plus: Get their side of their feud with Vanessa and Ralph. read more
When Rachel and Dave accidentally skipped the Roadblock on The Amazing Race finale, first place seemed to be for the taking for Art Velez and JJ Carrell. The border patrol agents were already at the Hawaiian sledding and stone-tossing Roadblock and if Art could complete it, the finish line was next. Instead, they watched helplessly as Dave and Rachel arrived, finished the Roadblock and went on their $1 million-winning way. "Rachel asked me how long I had been there and I said about an hour," Art tells TVGuide.com. "She was like, 'Wow!' and then she completes it on her second try! I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?!'" Adding insult to injury: They lost to their mortal enemies, who backed out on their deal to U-Turn Brendon and Rachel. Get their take on the drama, their confrontation with Nary and Jamie and more. read more

We have stayed there a number of times and always great. Great free breakfast and great location. We have stayed 10 or 15 times on our visits. Always pleased. Nice people and quiet and clean.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Hotel Amenities"
Overall....satisfied. The one thing I didn't care for was the lack of space in the eating area for the free breakfast. It was super small and there were a lot of people attempting to eat. I noticed people were standing outside. Glad there was a restaurant across the street...worked for us!Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
The motel has made many improvements, inside and outside, since our last stay there. Our room, though not large, was clean, comfortable and served us well. They have also added free breakfast.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"A Rude Awakening!!!!"
My stay was fine. However, I am opposed to the growing trend of allowing dogs to stay at hotels and motels across our country. Apparently, there was a dog show in town, and I believe that every dog stayed at the Best Western. There were all shapes and sizes. When did this all begin? I was under the false impression that no dogs were allowed at most […] hotels and motels in the U.S.A.!! Now I know better. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
Everyone was very accomodating and friendly. I do wish I had been told there are no elevators to the second floor, as I would have asked for a bottom floor room. It was very hard on my knees going up and down all those stairs, especially with my suitcase, but I managed. The room was very comfortable, and had everything I would need. I will definitely […] choose your hotel again. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Aug 2013 Stay"
This motel needs an update. It's situated on a noisy street, close to hwy. People smoke in non-smoking rooms and outside of your door. It's disturbing. I was overcharged for the quality of the room. Breakfast was ok. That particular area of town is full of homeless and is sketchy. The DMV next door attracts low life folks that hang around morning to […] evening and harass passers by. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Also note that swimming pool is extremely small is has no shade. It's hot there already by 9 am.

"Okay for a one night stay"
Our usual getaway hotel in Gtrass Valley was booked solid so we opted for the BW Gold Country Inn. The rooms were fine, but ours did smell of cigarette smoke. I don't think people smoked inside our room but there were several people smoking outside which is always unpleasant for non smokers. The room had fine amenities, but the pillows were lumpy and […] the towels truly rough. Ďalšie informácieAutentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia

"Accommodating staff"
Nice lobby, gym, and computer room. When we needed help with the hotel computer, staff immediately came over to assist. The next day when we checked out, the staff stored our laptop for the day as it was hot and we did not want to keep the computer in the car. The room was clean and adequate. We were away from the freeway and the room was quite. We […] had breakfast plans but the breakfast looked nice. They have some outside tables in the shade that is also very nice.

"ok hotel, basic"
Close to safeway and lots of fast food but not in the old town section. (about a mile away) . COnvenient in the sense that it is right off the highway so if this is just a layover on the way to somewhere, it is an easy to find location .

"Gold Country Gold"
Off the main roads, so the room was quiet. We were given a room near the pool, but since we stayed in the wintertime, it was not a problem. Breakfast buffet was as expected, but the coffee was surprisingly good. I'm a connoisseur of coffee, so this was a pleasant surprise for me.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
"Good if u want something cheap"

Nothing fancy. Adequate for our overnight needs. Nearby businesses were convenient.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
"Good, affordable option"
I thought this hotel was a good affordable option to visit Nevada City/Grass Valley. Although you had to commute to either town it was stil close, well maintained and comfortable. The thoughtful presence of an "easy wipe" TV remote during flue season showed that someone was being considerate of the hotel guests.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka spoločnosti Expedia
Beds and pillows were comfortable.Autentické hodnotenie zákazníka Hotels.com
We stay here because it is very close to relatives. There us very bad lighting in the rooms. There is an overhead light in the rooms that gives a very odd glow. The rooms are very clean but dark and dated. But the location is great and access to the freeway is easy. There is a comp. breakfast.....but there is a Starbucks across the street and a bakery.

Rainbow Light Congest-Away™ -- 60 Tablets
Amazing Product
After years of struggling with allergy/sinus medicine and feeling fuzzy - I found Congest Away. This product is amazing. It works quickly and I feel great. Also, my sinus issues last only a few days - rather than dragging on for weeks or months as they did in days past. I have offered these to many sufferers and all consider them gold. For very bad colds or sinus flare ups, you may take 2 every 3 hours. After a few months, I really believe they retrain your immune system. After 3 years of using this product, I need only 2 at the first sign of sinus headache and then I am fine for weeks or for the whole season. I ALWAYS have this in my house.

Pretty good
I've purchased a few bottles of this as it seems to help with clearing up congestion. It's not super-powerful, and not long lasting, but nonetheless it does work. It's great for people who cannot take the OTC stuff or can't mix meds. I will continue to purchase this.

Notice that the $30 million in untraceable prepaid credit cards is not mentioned.
That´ll learn ´em! /s No one in the Dem party nor anyone who voted for him are going to waste their time concerned about whether Obama won playing by the rules or not. Rules are for suckers. Just win baby. The low info voter dosen´t care about this. They vote Dem, then go vote for American Idol and Dancing with the Stars--to them there is no difference.
Only fined $375,000.00 ????? The Dimeocraps can pay that out of their Stimulus Stash.. If it had been on the Rpub side their would have been issued Jail Terms plus Big Fines...The Feds would have had to BUILD a couple more Country Club Prisons.
We are supposed to believe the campaign was audited and one tiny irregularity was found. Some underling transposed a number or two. This small fine will balance the books on this small event and restore our faith in the honesty of the democrat party.
The govn fines the govn. That fixes it. I`m satisfied. Obama`s campaign will pay the fine and then spend it on itself....../s
hahahhaha- so what did they use to pay the fines? Campaign contributions illegally collected! Only in America!
It ONLY TOOK over FOUR YEARS. Just think that the statute of limitations would have run out in a few more months. Manoh man, the fec is really on the ball, just like any thing else run by democRATS.

Log into your Moodle Course
(Scroll down for login tips)
The online course is delivered to the student using the highly interactive Moodle platform. Moodle is the world's largest provider of this type of service, used by over 70,000 different institutions in over 220 countries.
This teaching model allows students to participate in class asynchronously each week of their course(s). This means that students do not need to be online at the same time. This is especially helpful to students who are working full time, raising a family or the campus students who can not fit a specific course into their schedule.
The Moodle model enables users to extend learning beyond the traditional classroom or other types of distance learning models. Collaboration between instructor and students is essential and builds a true learning community.
Moodle online courses are not independent study courses. They are completely interactive using any Internet ready computer with either Internet Explorer or Firefox as preferred browsers. Additionally classes will have the availability of a virtual classroom component where the instructor and students can be interactive in real time.
Both undergraduate and graduate courses may be available to the student online (refer to the University of Great Falls Distance Learning Course Schedule). The Paralegal Studies Bachelor's degree, the Master of Arts, Secondary Teaching degree (initial licensing degree program) and the Master of Education graduate degree programs are available using the Moodle platform.
Online five-minute tutorials:
Part 1--Logging In and Accessing Your Course
Part 2--Weekly Layout and Posting to a Forum
Part 3--Online Quizzes and Grades
Part 4--Uploading an Assignment File
Common questions regarding Moodle courses:
What is my Moodle Username and password? Your Moodle Username and temporary password are provided by our administrative database in order to tie your ArgoExpress enrollments to enrollments in Moodle.
Username: your UGF-assigned Student ID printed on your student ID card and/or any system-issued printouts such as registration confirmations, invoices, grade reports, etc. (Include the @ sign and any leading zeros.) Temporary Password: system-generated, based on your first initial + Student ID + first two letters of your last name (all lower case and including your @ sign).
When does my class meet? Technically, there are no class times. Online courses are conducted asynchronously, which means individuals "take turns" sending messages between students and instructors.
Please note that your upcoming courses will not "appear" on your Moodle Home page until seven (7) calendar days before the start of the new term.
Will hundreds of other students be taking my class at the same time as me? No, UGF limits enrollment. Most classes are rarely larger than 15 students.
What kind of computer do I need? Any Internet-connected PC or Macintosh computer is fine.
Will I need to learn complicated software? Moodle is extremely user friendly, and anyone with basic computer skills will be successful in its use. The bottom of every page on the Moodle site provides links to useful tutorials and help files.
How much time do I get to complete the course? Each course will have a start and end date. In between the schedule of course work, assignments, and due dates are determined by each instructor.
Who will help me if I run into technical problems? Each instructor will help you find assistance with your problems. UGF employs a team assigned to Moodle technical support by phone or email.

Ooey Gooey Goodness: 7 Au Gratin Recipes You'd Never Guess Are Vegan
I'm hosting a dinner party and just found out one of my dear friends will be joining…and she happens to be vegan. I'm pretty traditional when it comes to my dinner spreads - ham, potatoes au gratin, and asparagus. We will still have our ham for the ham lovers and asparagus for all; but it's the potato au gratin recipe that's got me stumped. I don't want to have to make two versions or serve something completely different, so that's when I turned to all the great vegan cooks out there. I found so many amazing recipes, we might have to serve two au gratin recipes after all - just both of them vegan! - By Macki West

Helping producers protect Indiana's animal agriculture industry is a top priority for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH). Premise ID will supply invaluable information resources to help BOAH continue providing service and protection to animal agriculture and the livestock industry. By using Premise ID in an emergency, animal health officials will have access to the information they need to communicate rapidly with producers. Having the physical locations of key species readily available can speed response efforts and contain a disease more quickly. That's why all sites in Indiana associated with the sale, purchase or exhibition of livestock must have a registered premise ID number. Exhibitors applying for a Prem ID must allow at least 10 business days for processing. Ultimately, implementing premise and animal ID and collecting timely animal movement data will allow for 48-hour traceback of livestock, more rapid disease response and more accurate communication in an emergency. For additional questions about Indiana's premise ID program contact BOAH at email@example.com or (317) 544-2381.
One Tag. One System. One Future.
The Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) is NOT CURRENTLY offering free 840 electronic identification (EID) tags to Hoosier cattle producers. Response to the pilot program has been strong, and free tags were available while supplies lasted. Grant monies that allowed the purchase of tags for distribution at no cost have been depleted. Producers may still order tags, at their own expense. More information is available on the RFID Tag webpage.

More triumph of political correctness over reason: Cleveland police must now identify a suspect before they can close a rape case
The despair and decay that is Baltimore has crept west and landed on the shores of Lake Erie. And once again, a mayor, a city's sexual grievance industry, and a major U.S. daily have joined hands to insist that rape victims are being mistreated.
In once-promising Cleveland, a policy change in the way police handle rape claims could have the tragic effect of causing law enforcement to offer up innocent males just to appease the rape goddesses. The rust belt is now officially the "Rape Belt."
Cleveland police are being criticized for supposedly improperly clearing rape cases that should not have been cleared, thus giving the impression they have solved more crimes than they really have. How do police do this dastardly thing? They sometimes clear cases before a suspect is identified, that's how.
Read that again. Let it sink in. And then try to reconcile the policy requiring that there be a suspect before a case can be closed with the news stories we report on every day in this blog -- where there are no legitimate suspects, because the rape claims are lies.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, in order to clear a case without an arrest -- a classification known as "exceptional clearance" -- the police are supposed meet all of the following criteria: (1) Clearly identify at least one of the offenders and know the suspect's whereabouts; (2) Have enough evidence to support an arrest, charges and prosecution; and (3) Be prevented from making an arrest by a reason outside their control.
Cleveland police policy, the Plain Dealer asserts, prohibits detectives from closing cases before suspects are identified.
Cleveland Police Deputy Chief Edward Tomba disagrees, and rightly so. "'We have numerous cases where a suspect never gets identified, and we clean that case up,' he said. 'To me, that category of exceptional clearance, that's just the way we've done it for 30 years.'"
The next paragraph is a sterling example of a law enforcement officer speaking common sense:
"Tomba said that whether a case has been cleared or is considered open is an arbitrary semantic distinction. Cases are cleared when the investigation hits a wall, he said, but any case could be reopened if new information were to emerge within the 20-year statute of limitations."
But common sense, as always, is trumped by political correctness. According to the Plain Dealer: "The [police] policy, however, specifically states that exceptionally cleared cases are considered closed. 'I'd consider those cases cold, not necessarily closed,' Tomba said of the dozens of improperly cleared cases. 'Really, it's just words. So instead of 60 exceptional cleanups, you'd have 60 open cases? OK, but they'd still be sitting in the same place -- not being investigated.'"
So how are rape cases presently cleared in Cleveland? The same way they are cleared everywhere that police are permitted to do their jobs unfettered by policitical correctness run amok. ". . . when it comes to clearing cases, Tomba said detectives take their cues from city prosecutors, who review the results of the investigation and determine whether there is enough evidence to move forward. If not -- and detectives say they have no further investigative leads -- the case typically is closed. One of three supervisors in the unit signs off on the decision, Tomba said. And once it's closed, detectives will revisit the investigation only if a witness comes forward with new information."
This is a recognition of reality. For the vast majority of rape cases, no one -- except the accuser and, where applicable, the accused -- can say what, if anything, happened. The policy of requiring a suspect to be identified is a manifestation of a mindset that women don't lie about rape, and that every claim represents an actual rape. That is simply far from true.
Several months ago, Mayor Frank Jackson appointed a rape panel to track promised changes to the way police investigate sexual assault. Who do you suppose serves on the committee? After all, for every other municipal panel assembled, diversity is critical. Or, because this "rape," does this panel get a pass?
You guessed it. A white woman, Megan O'Bryan, president and chief executive of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, and two black women, serve on the Mayor's panel. Penis-bearing humans, as a class, are unfit, unqualified, and unwanted -- because "diversity" is only important when we are seeking to insure women are represented. There is no such thing as women being "over-represented."
Ms. O'Bryan spouts the usual narraitve: "It is in the public's best interest to create a community where victims are encouraged to report, and where they are believed and supported when they do."
Here we go again. Why can't we just say it's in the community's interest for victims to be encouraged to report, and to insure that all rape accusers are treated respectfully? It is not, however, in the community's interest to automatically "believe" every rape accuser. Such a policy does a grave disservice to the presumptively innocent men and boys they accuse since, by necessity, they must be guilty if their accusers are believed.
If police are dismissing rape claims without investigating, that is wrong, by any measure. Every rape claim needs to be take seriously. We report on case after case after case here where police recount the incredible man-hours they devote to spurious claims. But if some cases are treated cavalierly, is it any wonder? (And I'm not condoning that.) In case after case after case that we report here, judges, law enforcement personnel, and even members of what is aptly called the "sexual grievance industry" bemoan the harm to legitimate rape victims done by rape liars. A cry of "rape" is no longer sacrosanct, and if Ms. O'Bryan wants to combat rape, she would do well to pull her head up out of the sand and attack the people who diminish the integrity of rape claims, the false rape accusers. I will not hold my breath for Ms. O'Bryan to join our fight.
But from now on in Cleveland, to appease the people who dominate the public discourse about rape, in order to close a rape case, police will need to nab a suspect -- any hapless male will do -- arrest him, force him to disrobe to have pubic hairs removed for testing, photograph his genitals, interrogate him on and off for hours and hours, and then let him go. Don't dare apologize to him. Make him feel lucky he's being let go.
It is political correctness run amok. Sadly, this strange and woefully misguided policy -- this games playing with semantics -- could have the tragic effect of leading law enforcement to offer up innocent males just to appease the rape goddesses.

How is it that they can say that "X% (it's never a consistent figure) of rapes are unreported"? If they're not reported, then no statistic would know they occurred and wouldn't count them.

Anon, exactly. Of course, we've written about this innumerable times here, but even for reported rapes, no one can honestly say what percentage were actual rapes. Yet, for unreported rapes, suddenly, feminists can pinpoint a clear and discernible range. These are advocacy statistics, not real statistics.

"to appease the feminist sexual grievance industry that dominates the public discourse about rape, in order to close a rape case, police will need to nab a suspect -- any hapless male will do"
As I see it, police have already been doing exactly this for a long time now, and it a practice that has been wide-spread. There has long been the same perceived need to appease the SGI.
The result has been, as we've seen documented here many times, that police will find some poor sap who matches the description "close enough" and run him through the ringer. As Pierce has noted, the interrogation tactics that have been employed have no doubt resulted in so innocent men "confessing" and taking plea deals just to avoid the possibility of being railroaded into prison.
There are many black-eyes to be borne by LE for their injustices perpetrated for no better reason than to avoid having NOW marching a half dozen women in front of police headquarters, in front of 2-dozen news reports, demanding "justice" for women.
Now, just when it seems that PD's are wising up to both the prevalence of flat-out rape lies, as well as the fact that the SGI doesn't really have as much clout as they had feared, we see a predictable "doubling-down" such as this example in Cleveland.
Requiring a "suspect" be identified (and, presumably named publicly – I doubt the statement, "We have a suspect in mind, but aren't prepared to release his name until we have more evidence" will suffice for those intent on crucifying some man for any and all alleged transgressions against women), is only going to mean that two types of cases will remain open indefinitely – the cases of real rape, wherein the rapist is careful not to leave evidence; and false cases wherein the non-existed perp is claimed as an unknown individual. Both types of cases will now presumably have Cleveland police scrambling to find "some one" to implicate as a suspect.
Which brings up yet another question regarding this proposed policy: what if police identify a potential suspect, but can clear him? If he's no longer a suspect, will the police be required to name yet another "suspect" before they can close the case?
My hope would ultimately be that, if policed were given this onerous directive, that they would simply find the courage to leave cases open, and endure the predictable back-lash from SGI operatives for allegedly failing to pursue those cases. I believe that police simply need to learn to be a bit more "thick skinned" when if comes to such empty criticisms, and perhaps to turn the complaints back on the SGI and demanding to know if they are being asked to arrest "someone" without regard to evidence just to prove that they are "doing something". The (logical) consequences of illogical demands need to be exposed publicly if we are ever to win the public over. - Jan 24, 2011, 11:18:00 AM
The main tool for "Empowerment" of the American gender-raunch community is "Rape hysteria".
We need to "break the Alliance" of American law enforcement and gender-raunch Empowerment feminism.
If American law enforcement were told their "misinformation Alliances" with gender-raunch were unconstitutional, American gender-raunch would lose their "Empowerment rhetoric".
It may well be the conservative states who are not comfortable with an "Empowered gender-raunch", that first starts a legal action against this perversion that has infested our American legal system.
Every false rape accusation that law enforcement labels "unfounded" instead of false...EMPOWERs gender-raunch.
Every time police are called to a domestic and arrest an innocent male...this manufactures a faulty and inflammatory statistic that "Empowers" gender-raunch. - Jan 24, 2011, 12:45:00 PM
- Archivist said...
slw: thanks for your insight. My advice to Cleveland would be, just don't officially ever close a rape case unless it goes to trial. And otherwise, keep doing what you're doing.

S - "We need to "break the Alliance" of American law enforcement and gender-raunch Empowerment feminism."
Q: Now, how did I know you were going to paste your typical rant into this thread?
A: Because it would such a poor fit.
Had you bothered to read the main essay, you might have been aware that police were facing the possibility of being forced to comply with (yet another) dictate from the SGI. Not exactly suggestive of any alliance - in fact, quite the opposite. - Jan 24, 2011, 12:59:00 PM
- Archivist said...
That's right, slw -- the police are routinely criticized by the SGI for not taking rape seriously. It is indisputable proof that there is no such conspiracy.
- Jan 24, 2011, 1:06:00 PM
Maybe law enforcement themselves will tell gender feminism to get out of law enforcement because they are "Perverting the course of justice"!!
Or maybe it will be a civil rights case that says American law enforcement are not constitutionally qualified to manufacture anything but the truth, no semantics games; no protocol perversions; none of that shit that is now serving to "pervert the natural flow of justice". - Jan 24, 2011, 1:28:00 PM
If there were no Alliance between gender feminism and law enforcement, we wouldn't be in this false rape crisis we are now in. Gender feminists told law enforcement that by charging false rape accusers, it somehow deters the real victim (of which this theory has no poof.
But by law enforcements fallowing this "unfounded theory", and not charging false rape accusers...we are now seeing a culture of false rape accusations unfold.
The only way to return integrity to the rape accusation is to start to charge false rape accusers...and in order to start charging false rape accusers..American law enforcement are gonna have to tell their gender-raunch masters to go home. - Jan 24, 2011, 1:36:00 PM

Archivist - "the police are routinely criticized by the SGI for not taking rape seriously. It is indisputable proof that there is no such conspiracy."
The police certainly do carry quite a bit of culpability for the way in which many FRA's have been handled, but I doubt they done so in response to the wishes of some raunch-culture, gender-feminist "handlers".
The most egregious FRA injustice are likely traceable to the most chivalrous "white-knight" types in police work – men who would typically describe themselves as strict anti-feminists. Their problem is not that they are being willing "controlled" by SGI-feminists, but rather that they are (self)deluded into believing that they are actually protecting women from victimization. Nobel, but misguided. The SGI-feminist don't even need to make a effort to control these fools, they just sit back and take advantage of their innate tendencies. [The idiot Jesse Powell, who opined that he believed that wrongfully imprisoning innocent men would protect women from rape, is a self-described "Social Conservative Christian anti-feminist, as an example].
Other FRA injustice are likely the product of sheer police laziness, and looking for the easiest way to "dispose" of a case. And, of course, there are certainly a few rogue cops who would be happy to railroad innocent men to add to their personal glory [such rogues usually go after more high-profile cases, where they can achieve even greater glory, rather than bother with mundane rape cases – but, I'm sure that they have deliberately mishandled many a case, just the same.]
Finally, the largest proportion of injustice associated with FRAs (and false DV claims, as well) fall on those officers who were just doing their jobs – and will "hide" behind the dictates imposed upon them form above. It would be nice to see more of them willing to take a stand, but police jobs represent a significant investment of personal time and effort just to be trained for. It would be unreasonable to expect them to jeopardize their careers over individual cases, even in times where other jobs were plentiful. Their reluctance to "make waves" is understandable, but I believe that they can do their given jobs, and still handle rape claims appropriately. I doubt many of these officers have the least desire to please gender-feminists. What they haven't had is an understanding that by simply doing their job "correctly", by the book, they are effectively thumbing their noses at the feminists of the SGI who would prefer them to handle cases in a strictly biased manner.
I have been getting the impression that more of them are taking that tact. Increasingly, we see accounts of FRA's being uncovered without any innocent victims being arrested at all. There is no way for them to stop women from making false allegations, but they sure can opt to investigate first, before looking to nab some suspect.
That they are now carrying out investigations which cause them to question a woman's veracity, and often "re-interview" her with the result that she confesses, certainly flies in the face of what the SGI would want them doing. I certainly hope it's a trend that will continue to grow.
As for those "statistics", while I can understand S's angst at their misuse, I don't understand why he continues to believe that police are behind the generation of them.
Those stats are more often than not used to demonstrate that police are NOT doing what the SGI expects, and, if police agencies weren't submitting an accounting of the cases they handle, the result that the Susan Brownmiller's of the SGI would then be free to "invent" even more useful (from their POV) statistics. I'd point out to S that real police stats had absolutely nothing to do with the 2% canard, and everything to do with Dr. Kanin's invaluable research. - Jan 24, 2011, 1:48:00 PM

From the "Plain Dealer" article:
"An earlier Plain Dealer analysis revealed that city prosecutors reject more than 70 percent of sexual assault cases that Cleveland detectives present. But cases often are turned over for prosecutors' review before there is a suspect to prosecute. And how much investigative work detectives do on some cases is questionable."
I've previously mentioned the practice of police passing on cases to DA's who can use legal reasoning to "drop" cases. Even though it is often a way for police to dispose of cases in such a way that they can avoid being second-guessed by the SGI and alleging victims, it actually makes a good deal of sense as well.
What happens is that someone qualified to know whether or not a case might have a chance of being "successfully" prosecuted declaring it to not be so, IS a good barometer by which to decide that a case should be "shelved", gather than having yet more time, effort and expense be wasted on it. [As Deputy Chief Tomba notes, "closed" cases aren't really closed. I prefer the term "shelved" for that reason.]
When a case has (any or all of the following) uncooperative alleging witness, lack of evidence, lack of identifiable suspect, etc., the police may well lack the ability to absolutely conclude it to be "unfounded/falsified" (even though they likely suspect it to be), so the "review" by prosecutors is the next best way to avoid having to continue wasting resources on it. - Jan 24, 2011, 3:18:00 PM
So far it's been great for business:
"CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The number of sexual assault victims seeking help from the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center has surged since October, when a victim advocate began working full-time within the police department's Sex Crimes Unit, collaborating with detectives and making sure victims' needs are met.
The Rape Crisis Center reports that 61 clients, whose cases were routed to the agency by way of the embedded advocate, have participated in the center's crisis intervention programs in the past three months."
While I'm sure that helps real victims, it might also provide extra support and encouragement for false accusers.
Btw, based on the caption of the photograph, it looks like there was a man on that panel. - Jan 24, 2011, 6:37:00 PM
The judges encourage this "extra legal" behavior due to political favoritism, and the desire for votes.
The prosecutor cooperates.
The police cooperate.
That is an alliance.
It's easier and more profitable to tag and bag an innocent man than it is to hear the feminists squeal.
When enough innocent men decide to protect their liberty to an extent that the cops on the beat have a disincentive, then things will change.
Already the signs of disrespect for "law enforcement" is evident in the citizenry,for this exact reason.
When the tide does turn, it will be too late for law enforcement for regain the trust of the citizenry,chaos is the result.
Are we seeing chaos in the streets?
The street gangs have learned how to disincentive police oppression, soon the average white man will too.
You guys had a hands off policy of LE, I have no idea why you changed that, but you opened the door to truthful comments. - Jan 24, 2011, 8:15:00 PM
the persecution of innocent men and boys may gain immediate "empowerment" gains for the gender-raunch community; but in the long run will cause chaos.

To me the "Alliance" between American gender feminism and American law enforcement is so omnipresent thats its almost silly to point out just one instance. (but i have numerous times).
- Jan 24, 2011, 10:44:00 PM
I encourage police everywhere to rebel against this SGI crap and help put an end to the war on/against men and boys.

Until you've been deprived of your civil rights and presumed guilty until proven innocent I suggest you quit commenting.

You're thinking yeah: I'd like to go fishing with this old nice old guy.
Then you're in the cage and they send in the militant feminist and the video cameras and one way mirrors and you realize you are being set up for a very bad fall.
The judges are the worst of the bunch: they realize you're being raped and seem to enjoy it.
I highly suggest you do not knock on my door again. - Jan 25, 2011, 2:58:00 PM

Personally, that LOOOOOONG statute of limitations is a problem for me as well.
With all due respect, it allows people who are looking for something to harass a man or even a woman over, to go back and look for a case where there was no DNA evidence and falsely report that X person is a suspect in the case.
We need to pare down on these SoL's. Even for murder, I am thinking that the SoL should be at most, 5 years.
Any longer than that (really, after only a few months) and any information you get becomes unreliable in the extreme. - Jan 26, 2011, 12:35:00 PM

Saturday was a rough day for the Oregon Ducks as they lost a hard-fought battle to the Stanford Cardinal in overtime at Autzen Stadium. Adam Jude, Oregon Ducks beat writer for The Oregonian, joined Chad on Flight 750 Monday to breakdown the game and to preview which Bowl game the Ducks are most likely headed to after the loss.
Jude talked about the controversial decision by Chip Kelly to go for it on fourth down, early in the first quarter, rather than taking the almost automatic points when it seemed pretty clear that the Ducks and Cardinal were going to be in for a dogfight.Jude insists that he wasn't really surprised that they decided to go for it on fourth down.
"Chip Kelly goes for it in situations that most coaches wouldn't…He would rather rip all his hair out most times than try for a field goal in any situation."
Jude also spoke to the Ducks decisions to go for the two field goals at the end of regulation and in the overtime period. He explains that although some blame should be placed on Oregon kicker Alejandro Maldonado for missing the kicks, the blame should probably be equally shared between Maldonado and the coaching staff.
"At some point you've got to know you're going to need a kicker and if you don't build that trust and that confidence in him, you don't know how he's going to respond."
Lastly, Jude talked about where he thinks the Ducks are headed for the post-season.
"If they beat the Beavers, it's most likely that they are headed to the Fiesta Bowl."
Take a listen to the interview and be sure to check out his Ducks analysis everyday in the Oregonian.

Breakfast on the weekends is my husband's territory. Today, however, our waffle king is in LA for a meeting, so the task fell to me.
Lucky for me, the kids were so eager to continue their made-up game of "Store" (in which they sell paper airplanes and origami to each other for a penny), they stayed upstairs until the very late hour of 7:45, giving me a few extra minutes to flip through recipes. By the time they came downstairs, these Cinnamon Buckwheat Waffles were piled high on a plate and the scent of cinnamon was all through the house.
This recipe calls for buckwheat flour, which is earthier than whole-wheat and a nice change if that's what you normally use. It might sound unusual until you remember that buckwheat flour is used in the savory crepes (called galettes) in France and the blinis eaten in Russia. My kids initially balked at the grayish-brown color of the batter, until I reminded them that their favorite Japanese soba noodles are also made out of buckwheat.
These are the kind of waffles that have the flavor baked in, so nothing is necessary on top (although maple syrup is always nice). The batter has 2 cups of oats for extra texture and fiber, plus 2 tablespoons of cinnamon for that irresistible flavor. The recipe makes about 5 waffles, and given how filling they are you'll probably have extras to freeze for a quick breakfast during the week.
Cinnamon Buckwheat Waffles
1 3/4 cups Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat Pancake and Waffle Mix
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon (or more to taste)
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups quick-cooking oats
Preheat the waffle iron. Combine buckwheat flour, baking powder, brown sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk and butter, then add to the flour mixture. Gently stir in the oats. Drop 1 cup of batter on the waffle iron (oiled, if necessary) and cook until crisp. If you like, you can nibble a bit of the first waffle and add more cinnamon to taste. *If you want to substitute whole-wheat flour for the buckwheat blend, use 1 3/4 cups whole-wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Auction Success Rates Spell Good News For London Property
August 29th, 2008 by Karelia | No Comments | Filed in House Prices, London House Prices, Property Market NewsLondon Property Finder
Barnard Marcus had a good auction last week with sales reaching 82pts which is about where sales have been for some years – excluding the 2nd quarter of this year. I.e. auction houses generally sell between 75pts and 85pts of their stock during the good times.
London property was in short supply but in general values also held their own: only four houses didn't sell and of those the margin betwen final offer and reserve was between £5K and 25K.
12 Clitterhouse Road sold for £235K. £20,000 more than number 131 sold for in May of this year but £75K less than 111 and 27 which sold for £310 a piece in April and May respectively. We suspect numbers 12 and 131 needed a little work, but even if they didn't the auction price reflects a 24pts saving, which is roughly where you would expect to see the average auction property.
14 Preston Waye in Harrow sold for £400K, £20K over the reserve price but offering a 20pts discount versus number 9 which sold for £494,950 in March of last year. We didn't view either, so number 9 could be a palace in comparison, in which case this is even better news.
Why? Because the auction market is pretty indicative of the market as a whole and if people are buying at 20pts off 'market value' at auction, then clearly there is hope for the homeowners in general. In a good market, it makes sense for property at auction to be sold for 20-30pts below the neighbouring house sold through an estate agent. It's generally a distress sale. In a slow market – it is fabulous news. It means prices are holding up in general because of the supply problem we have in London in particular. The reason the housing market is a mess is because no-one wants to lend much to first time buyers or anyone else for that matter. And when the credit crunch eases, the buyers market will disappear, because more people want to have property in London than there are properties to go around. To find a house quickly now before it is too late just contact this London Property Finder.
