Race Preference or Race Fetish?
by Racialicious Special Correspondent Latoya Peterson
[Warning: Post contains links to pictures of hot male entertainers in various stages of undress. Click at your own risk.]
Back in April, I read this Kimchi Mamas post and was reminded of an ongoing debate I have with a few friends: is exclusively dating members of your own race being racist or having a preference? Is dating outside of your race exercising a fetish?
I've heard arguments on both sides of the debate, of equal merit. (Check the Kimchi Mamas post for some other ideas on race and dating).
When my friends and I discuss the idea of race and dating (or interracial sex, depending on the day) we tend to take the debate a step or two further and pose the following question: is it a preference or fetish? At what point does admiration of certain characteristics (mocha skin, jet-black hair, a petite stature, a porcelain complexion) become a full-blown fetish?
And further, can you fetishize your own race?
Tackling the first idea, I believe it is difficult to differentiate between a fetish and characteristic. The only rule that sticks seems to be making blanket statements about an entire race of people (i.e. all white women are wild in bed) as an indicator of a fetish. So when I hear a comment like "Asian girls are hot," it does give me some pause. Hearing a statement like that kind of makes me think that the speaker already has a preconceived notion of what "Asian" is – and it probably excludes women from Malaysia, the Philippines, India, or Sri Lanka.
On the other hand, sometimes certain characteristics (which may or may not be common to a certain race or ethnicity) can be highly coveted by individuals. Darker skin is not common to all races. Neither is long, straight, jet black hair or blue eyes. So, it would stand to reason that people who find certain characteristics attractive would start seeking out individuals with those characteristics – which may lead to dating along racial lines.
Hmmm…preference or fetish?
One of my close friends tends to date white women, though he maintains he dates the rainbow. When I ask him about the reasons for his attraction, he goes into different factors of why he is attracted to the women he dates. He lists things like body type, hair, and complexion. I prodded him playfully about one of his recently revealed fetishes – the fact that he, a black male, wants to have a white woman tie him up and treat him like a slave.
He asked one of his former sex partners to do it, and she didn't speak to him for a week.
He acted puzzled.
"I just asked her to beat me a few times and call me Toby."
I asked him if his desire for that particular sex act has caused him in recent years to narrow his focus in dating, pointing out that he has not dated anyone of color since freshman year of college.
He contemplates that for a moment.
"Maybe," he finally answers.
Still, I'm not really one to talk. I've been accused of harboring a fetish myself.
Some of my friends noticed a spark of interest in the hotties populating the videos I watch from South Korea. They were quick to attribute my Otaku-zeal for learning about all things Asian to the desire to snag my very own Asian Boyfriend/Accessory. (Their way of thinking isn't so far fetched. Check out this shirt and this shirt – apparently top sellers over at J-List aka Otaku Depot.)
Still, to me, having a passive crush on a celebrity is a logical thing – pop stars are forged on sex appeal as much as talent. If a small crush on the ever-sexy Rain comes out of all my J-drama and K-drama watching, what am I to do? (Obviously, People Magazine agrees with me.) If I watch Hong Kong action movies and dramas, it is logical that leading men like Aaron Kwok will start looking pretty attractive. And can admiring the talents and *ahem* other strengths of Kim Song-Soo be construed as a bad thing?
Apparently so. According to a couple of my black friends, I have a fetish. My current boyfriend expanded on said hypothetical fetish by saying that due to my interests and eating habits, an Asian boyfriend would only be construed as an item, yet another acquisition in some kind of quest to be more-Otaku-than-thou.
While at Otakon last weekend, I got to indulge myself a bit more in the various cultures of Asia. Late Saturday night, we decided to camp out in the film room, to check out three different movies – a South Korean comedy, a Chinese/HK fight flick, and a South Korean melodrama. In, another friend, decided to join Hae and I during the films, so we were all present for most of the films.
In the last half of an amusing but flat gangster melodrama, a hot guy debuted on the scene.
My head whipped toward Hae in the darkened theater.
"Who is that?" I hissed.
"Eric from Shinhwa," she replied, "He's cute right?"
In swung across us.
"No he isn't," she said, "the main character is much hotter."
"Yeah, but he's old," Hae managed to reply before we started getting dirty looks from other Otaku.
After departing the movies, we spent the rest of the night in our hotel, watching music videos and comparing pictures of Asian stars.
Do I have a fetish?
Are Hae and In fetishizing their own race?
The idea of fetishizing one's own race is another charged idea. Growing up, I was taught that "black is beautiful" and that edict guided most of my ideas about attractiveness and appeal until I became an older teen. Many of my friends still cite same race preferences in dating (though most of us actively dabble other places.)
Why is it that a preference for certain characteristics – like locs, a thicker/thinner body type, skin tone – are more acceptable with your own racial group? Is it fetishizing if a dark-skinned black male only dates light-skinned black women? Is it fetishizing if my Korean friends express a preference for Korean men only? Or Korean men and white men only?
There are no answers in this post, unfortunately – just some things I am thinking about.

About Polo Crest I found out that Polo Modern Reserve is barely different than Polo Crest. The scents were close when I smelled Polo Modern Reserve for the first time at a frangrance stand. It made me remember Polo Crest. So, I bought one bottle of it.

Hi Guys: You can still get this fragrance if you search on-line. I have three bottles and the after shave. The last 2 I got were testers though and the last time I flew on an airline they made me throw away a full bottle totally bummed. I don't know why Polo won't bring this one back. Crest is slightly more mature than regular green bottle Polo. I love this scent and as of right now so few other people have it. It is light though and wears off much quicker than Polo.

I loved this cologne, and I got many compliments about it. The biggest problems with it, though, was that it was a very subtle scent that didn't last for long. I had to spray a lot of it on me, and then the yellow dye stained some of my lighter clothes. I would buy it again in a heart-beat.

Toilet CCTV cameras are not invasion of privacy, says Tiverton High School (From Mid Devon Star)

Toilet CCTV cameras are not invasion of privacy, says Tiverton High School
9:41am Monday 24th September 2012 in Tiverton
PARENTS of children at Tiverton High School have been reassured that CCTV cameras in the toilets are not invading students' privacy.
Alarm bells started ringing last week after civil liberties group Big Brother Watch published a report, based on data which covers 2,000 secondary schools and academies, naming Tiverton High School as one of over 200 schools which use CCTV in their toilets or changing rooms.
In a statement on its website the school said it was "happy to be transparent about all aspects of our school and would like to take this opportunity to clarify the reality of the situation".
It said cameras overlook the wash basin areas only, not the toilet cubicles, and it does not have cameras in its changing rooms.
The website added that cameras "are there to make students feels safe and are in no way an invasion of privacy".
The school continued that "nationally students – Year 7 in particular – often report concern about visiting the toilets", but since the introduction of cameras "incidents of bullying in these areas have dropped to little more than zero".
Big Brother Watch said it investigated the issue of CCTV cameras in schools because it was concerned about children's privacy being invaded.
The group claims its report highlights an issue which has not been subject to any real public debate, and it hopes to spark off such a debate by highlighting how many schools use CCTV in their toilets and changing rooms.

OT: The Spink Cafe
With all the consternation, mock gives the feel good story of the week.
Feel free to move it, this isn't earth shaking news. Customers raise the roof for Spink Cafe By Tim Gallagher Journal staff writer SPINK, S.D. -- Customers are raising money for a new roof and porch at the Spink Cafe in hopes the staff will continue offering the same old food and service. It is the center of activity in this unincorporated Clay County community of eight. "There are four people on that side of the road, four people on this side," says John "Jr." Otten, a former farmer who owns and operates the cafe with his wife Diane. "When the cafe closed before Junior and Diane bought it, we met for morning coffee and played cards in the gas station across the street," says Carol Welch of Spink. The catch? The gas station was closed. Had been for years. "We'd heat the place with a propane heater," she says. "There weren't enough chairs. People would come and stand. We just wanted a place to be together." Welch got her wish nine years ago when the Ottens bought the cafe site, a classic three-story building on the corner of Highway 48 and 473rd Avenue. The place, built in 1925, once housed a general store, a Post Office, a theater, and a locker plant, among others. Ted Waitt filmed a Gateway Computers commercial here once. The locals waited for hours for his arrival, passing the time playing cards. A photo appeared in Time Magazine. Local legend has it Jesse James and his gang may have eaten or stayed here as well. With a place so rich in local lore, it's important to keep it on the map. So, Welch and a committee have taken upon themselves to help raise $10,000 or so to give the structure some attention. Some towns fix up the ball park, others restore a grand old theater. Spink is working for the only hub it still has -- Spink Cafe. "Most people think of it as a community building, even though it's privately owned," says Don Abraham. The Spink Cafe Community Committee hosts a freewill fish fry with broasted chicken from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Oct. 21. Donations will be taken that day to help the Ottens get the place fixed. It means that much, according to Lisa Welch, who notes that send-off and welcome home celebrations for two area soldiers deployed to the Middle East were held here. "The fact the community is coming together for this is a very nice surprise," says Diane Otten, who cooked here years ago before buying the place. "I like the idea that it's a place for the community to come together." There is coffee, breakfast and Spink Rummy (just rummy played by folks in Spink) before noon here. "There's also a lot of bull," says John Otten, looking down. "That's why I wear cowboy boots." John can often be found at the grill, making his famed Spink Burger, a double-patty sandwich featuring the works for $5.95. Diane makes pie and prepares specials for three nights per week, ranging from spaghetti (Wednesday), broasted chicken (Thursday), ribs (Friday), fish (Friday during Lent) and prime rib (Saturday). When the kitchen closes some weekends, locals clear the tables and start dancing or singing. Occasionally, they host a band. Other nights it's karaoke. That fits with an Elvis theme, as the place features 200 or so Elvis items on display, including clocks, swinging figures, giant photos and more. There's even a street sign letting diners know they're eating on Elvis Boulevard. Elvis been here? "Not that I know of," says Diane, smiling. Locals keep working on plans for the fish fry later this month, hoping to secure funds for the roof project before the snow flies. It would be a blessing for motorists who often pass though Spink on their way to nearby Vermillion, Yankton or Sioux City. "We've had a lot of people stop and ask for the nearest gas station, which is eight miles away" Diane says. "One man stopped and I gave him directions. He came back the next day and gave me a dozen roses." The story elicits a laugh from John, who is heading back to the grill. "I still don't know if that's the whole story," he says. Stories are a rich part of this cafe. If the storytellers have their say, the ending of the story is nowhere near. The Spink Cafe in downtown Spink, S.D. (population 8) opens at 8 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday. For information, call (605) 356-2663. |

From notes. Pretty good looker, deep copper amber body with a fairly opaque appearance. A one finger head is presented but is super creamy and laces with lots of ring like lacing. Quite a decent looking beer. What is up with the nose? Hello? hops?? No I am not asking for American hopslam here, but there is no hop presence, if anything it smells sour and fruity yeasty like English bitter. Huge cream notes, and malt thickness, and the sourness goes from a fruity ester quality that makes me think bad lines. Lots of biscuit action too. Palate is more like English bitter, with a touch of sour if possibly green apple skin but it's hard to say if this just because it might be infected instead. Thick super creamy body, with hints of thick cookie and biscuit dough. Chewy dense palate with fruity red fruit ester sensing thickness that gets stuck in the palate. Light faint sour tinges though, and NO hop bitterness or aroma or flavor at all. So where's the hops at least on t his (I don't care if it's English at least I've had a bunch that at least have HOP character). I really hope this is not the epitome of what this beer should taste like.

This is probably the 30th time I've had this beer so I figured it's time to review. A: Hazy orange, strawish color. Some floaties present (I sure as hell don't mind). Head retains a solid lacing around the edge the entire time. S: Pine, spice, a slight bit of citrus followed up by a solid biscuit malt background. Slight touch of caramel at the end.

Bready towards the finish with a bit more of the spicy hops M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation O: A very good take on the style by an American brewery. The goldings hops work extremely well with the maltiness, giving off the distinct spiciness that makes it almost seem like there is rye in the malt bill.

So I've been an atheist for about six years now and it's only in the few weeks or so that I've come to realize how badly Christianity screwed me up in the relationship department. My husband was very polyamorous before we met, but went monogomous for me when we started our relationship. I know that sounds bad, but he's told me that he knew what he was getting into and was ok with it. That was in the last few weeks when I came to a better realization of where I was in the mental health department. Honestly, I never thought I was screwed up until recently. I, on the other hand, didn't know any other way than monogomy and had bought into the brainwashing that if you husband sleeps with other people, he doesn't love you anymore. Hell, I was told if he goes to a strip joint he doesn't love you anymore. Anyway, I had some mental health wrenching experiences regarding sex before I met my husband that made and continued to make my hang ups and insecurities that much worse. I no longer think this is healthy. I no longer think that my husband bringing up polyamory was him just trying to get more tail on the side. But I was so indoctrinated with the idea that sleeping with or having intimate emotional relationships with people other than him (or by him with people other than me) would permanently wreck our relationship, I am having a damnably hard time undoing this mindset. So I have some questions for the actively polyamorous community.
1. If you have a relationship with someone other than your spouse and it fullfills your emotional and physical needs, does that devalue your relationship with your spouse since you don't "need" them now, you can just go over to this other relationship and have needs met.
2. Is there any literature that would help to heal my brain in this department?
I am somewhat curious, and I think this is something I may very well try in the future, but I am scared to death (a red flag in and of itself) that I will have a reaction of overwelming jealousy even though I have no desire to react that way. I am completely ignorant of how to handle the jealousy dimension at this point. Is it based in some realistic need that I perceive as not being met? Is it just fear of losing my husband to a relationship with someone else? That second question doesn't sound right to me. I feel as if by the nature of polyamory, having a relationship with someone else doesn't nullify his relationship with me. So what am I scared of? I'm not even sure at this point. This is all very new to me as far as being a viable option and I don't want to rush into something I'm not ready for and I love my husband to death and don't want to do something I'm going to regret. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm probably not the best person to reply here, but, your photo looks like a Tuscaloosa "A", so I'm going for it:) I've only been on the ethical non-monogamy trail for a couple of years, and it's been a slow and, I would say, spiritual process with many difficult realizations and conversations. I'm having an easier time of it than my wife, however, and realizing that we all have our own ways of dealing with emotions as deeply-seeded within us as jealousy, and one way is often to simply not deal with it (which isn't always bad, though you do eventually have to deal with it at some level).
What I've come to believe (or realize that I probably have always believed) is that love is not a two-way street, it's a complex of interconnecting highways. The more we love, the more we can love, the struggle is always in the logistics. Sometimes we love someone quickly and painlessly, one night, fun, dancing, drunk perhaps and that's it, a nice memory and sometimes we find that we can't live without another person in our lives for a long time. A beautiful day for me was when I realized that I still loved all of my Xes, and that they are important to me, though, I told a few of them and that was a little awkward:)
Monogamy is a false promise at best if taken the way our society tells us to take it, that is, "we enter into a relationship with someone who completes us." I think that we as individuals are the only ones who complete us, and that there are many people in our lives who reflect the beauty of our own completion from themselves back to us, and these are the people that we are drawn. To tell ourselves that there is only one of those people is to deny that we are in love with ourselves first, and that fucks the whole system. And, if you want to mine back into your Christian upbringing, this notion is biblical, as Jesus was the biggest egomaniac to ever live, and with positive result, look at all the people who surrounded him with love:)
Jenny Block's book "Open" is a delightful and quick read, published two years ago. I've read a couple of others and you can surf the web for some. There are some great links to other websites on this website that are helpful too.
Happy surfing! And, as Woody Allen hears in "Manhattan," "relax, the worst that can happen is that you'll learn something about yourself."
I think that much jealousy is insecurity, fear of losing what you have or not getting what you feel is your due. You fear your husband won't need you anymore. But I think The Nerd hit the nail on the head with the replacement of "need" with "want" in the equation.
I think you point with clarity to the major questions involved not only in ethical non-monogamy, but at some point, in life.
monogamy can be a possessive thing, as can almost anything. I've been married 14 years and we are in the midst of trying to figure out how to be there for one another without either being possessive or, perhaps worse, being in one another's way when we need to grow. It's all quite tricky though, b/c we are humans and social creatures and we have a risk/rewards way of approaching life.
And certainly there are times when we need/want one another and the other isn't there. That happens without other partners involved (e.g. the other night, I was in one frame of mind and she the other and we couldn't be together, neither was there for the other. To me, that's as strong a condition as had one of us been out with someone else).
To me, the vulnerability is always worth the return. Putting myself into a situation where I don't know the outcome is something I try to do every day, as a philosophy. Why, then, would I not risk the things most important to me for the potential gain that they may prove all the more rewarding for having been open to what else they can be? Change occurs daily, and you and your husband are not the same people you were 5 years ago and won't be yet 5 days from now. The question, I guess, that one must ask themselves is whether you are more interested in having certain lines of stability that, regardless of other desires, you uphold, or whether you are interested in exploring potential other desires with the understanding that you are committed primarily to someone who will be your confidant through that vulnerability.
Ultimately, though, whatever you choose to engage in, you should feel good about it. Life isn't easy no matter how you slice it, so you may as well feel like you know where a few of your footsteps are going to land.
Good luck!

One River Plaza, Cincinnati Condo Project Heads For Construction
Filed under: Estates
For a while the Cincinnati, Ohio market was hot, with projects by several name architects being created. Then, in 2006 as condo developments faced problems, we heard news of a slowdown. But perhaps things are set to look up with the imminent construction of One River Plaza, a nearly $150 million project. The Enquirer reports that preconstruction sales on the project have been strong with 28 condos of the potential 150 available already having been sold. The condos sell in the $550,000 to $2 million range.
The project will be built in two phases, a 14-story tower with at least 80 condos and a nine or 10-story condo with 70 condos. The first tower was originally only set to be 12 stories but demands for the penthouses with river and city views prompted an expansion. The towers will include two riverview restaurants, a shared outdoor terrace and amenities that include guest suites, a party room, a doorman and a fitness center. Construction will take 18 months and will start once the project meets a pre-sell mark of $35 million to $36 million.

(a) At the Trial. A member of the jury may not testify as a witness before that jury in the trial of the case in which the juror is sitting. If the juror is called so to testify, the opposing party must be afforded an opportunity to object out of the presence of the jury.
(b) Inquiry into Validity of Verdict or Indictment. Upon an inquiry into the validity of a verdict or indictment, a juror may not testify as to any matter or statement occurring during the course of the jury's deliberations or to the effect of anything upon the juror or any other juror's mind or emotions as influencing the juror to assent to or dissent from the verdict or indictment or concerning the juror's mental processes in connection therewith. However, a juror may testify about (1) whether extraneous prejudicial information was improperly brought to the jury's attention, (2) whether any outside influence was improperly brought to bear upon any juror, (3) whether the verdict of the jury was arrived at by chance, or (4) whether there was a mistake in entering the verdict onto the verdict form. A juror's affidavit or evidence of any statement by the juror may not be received on a matter about which the juror would be precluded from testifying.
Rule 606 was amended, effective March 1, 1990, March 1, 2008.
Subdivision (a) prohibits a juror from testifying in a case in which that juror is sitting. Many of the practical and theoretical problems that are present when a judge testifies are also present when a juror does so. The impartiality with which the trier of fact should consider evidence is immeasurably damaged whenever a juror presents evidence for one of the parties to a lawsuit.This rule represents a change from prior law which allowed a juror to testify ( 31-01-10, NDCC), but will likely have little effect on practice, as the process of jury selection has kept out of the jury box those who possess information relative to the determination of a lawsuit.
Subdivision (b) comports with existing North Dakota law by prohibiting a juror from testifying as to the mental processes inherent in arriving at a verdict but allowing jurors to testify as to whether outside influences were brought to bear upon a juror, or whether the verdict was arrived at by chance. Subdivision (b) was amended, effective March 1, 2008, to allow juror testimony about mistakes in entering the verdict on the verdict form.
The rationale of this rule is to further free deliberation in the jury room by protecting from disclosure the manner in which a verdict was reached, and to promote finality of verdicts. At the same time considerations must be given to the arrival of a just result in each particular case. Where a verdict is reached because of extraneous, prejudicial information or outside influence, much of the reason for disallowing a juror to testify disappears, and the balance is weighted in favor of obtaining justice in the individual case. Justice also requires disclosure whenever a verdict is arrived at by chance, including a "quotient" verdict, in which the jurors agree in advance to be bound. Although the view has been criticized, it is felt that reaching a verdict by chance is an extreme irregularity which replaces deliberation rather than being a part of it and, as such, should be disclosed.
Rule 606 was amended, effective March 1, 1990. The amendments are technical in nature and no substantive change is intended.

Hangzhou Travel Guide
Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province in East China, is one of the more modern and prosperous cities in China, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southwest of Shanghai. It sits at the southern end of the Grand Canal and is one of China's seven ancient national capitals.
When Marco Polo came to Hangzhou in the 13th century, he declared it to be "the most beautiful and elegant city in the world". There is a popular saying: "Above there is heaven, below there are Hangzhou and Suzhou." Hangzhou's "heavenly" beauty attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists to its exquisite West Lake (Xi Hu) area each year to enjoy the placid lake, beautiful gardens, reflecting pools, lavish temples and lakeside teahouses.
Hangzhou began to prosper and flourish in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). It was the capital of the Wu and Yue States in the 10th Century during the Five Dynasties Period, and had its political heyday in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), when it served as the capital of China. Hangzhou witnessed a commercial boom in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties, which is continuing at present.
There are many well-known historical and cultural sites in the areas around West Lake. Examples are the Lingyin Temple and Six Harmonies Pagoda. Hangzhou is also well known for its silk and tea. A trip to Hangzhou can be easily combined with a visit to a tea plantation in the hills near the West Lake.
China's number one imperial tea Dragon Well is produced from West Lake's tea plantations. See other top tea culture cities.
The most famous product of Hangzhou is tea, and you have the chance to enter a tea plantation, see its manufacture, and even pick the tender tea leaves in April or May. After the plantation tour, a guide will show you the Chinese way to make and drink tea. Usually it is quite strong, so if you are not used to tea in your daily life we suggest a little taste at first.
86-773-2831999 (Int'l)
Hi Mahendra, we are very happy to arrange it for you. How many people are there in your group, please? Would you like private car or bullet train as transportation between Shanghai and Hangzhou? What is the exact date to take the tour, please?

Banshee 1.6 Integrates with Ubuntu One Music Store
Access and purchase music from within the media player.
Banshee 1.6 proves to be a stable release after the numerous developer releases in the 1.5.x series. In addition to the U1MS plugin created by Jo Shields, the new Banshee includes numerous improvements over 1.4. Among them is a DJ tool called a Play Queue that randomly plays music by artist, album, song rating or score mode. The new Banshee also has an import filter for MP3 songs purchased from eMusic.
Banshee 1.6 supports a number of new devices, among them HTC's Nexus One, Nokia's N900 and the Palm Pre. The Banshee download archives page includes the full list of enhancements.
Ubuntu One Music Store for all?
The Banshee player, programmed in Mono, was originally developed by Novell. However, Novell and the other distros aren't likely to have any interest in delivering the U1MS plugin with the Banshee version, because cloud support is required to access Ubuntu One.
The newest openSUSE version of Banshee doesn't include the U1MS plugin, but the Banshee community extensions (that include the plugin) in the libubuntuone libraries can be compiled into other distros. In a short test, it was relatively easy to install the plugin into openSUSE 11.3. Not unexpectedly, the compiled version of Banshee crashed almost immediately after activating the plugin.

The Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Mobile BayBears have won three Southern League championships since their debut in 1997. The club grinds their cleats at Hank Aaron Stadium, a classic, 6,000-seat venue that serves as a lively monument to Mobile native and Hall of Famer Henry Aaron, Jr., who dedicated his career to raising awareness of improperly mowed outfields.
Rave Motion Pictures screens the summer blockbusters in 20 auditoriums outfitted with stadium seating. The theaters' digital projectors allow projectionists to easily play such gripping tales as Scream 4, a documentary about Sidney Prescott's return to Woodsboro, where Ghostface threatens the townspeople's safety (movies playing subject to change). Stretch out while watching as rows are spaced 48 inches apart from one another, one for each of the states recognized by most public-school systems. Check showtimes online for all the movies screening throughout the summer.
The USS Alabama spent 37 months in active duty during World War II. It earned nine battle stars and never suffered significant damage from enemy fire. Following this illustrious military career, the battleship was set to be scrapped because of the prohibitive cost of maintaining a wartime fleet. But in 1964, Alabama schoolchildren put forth a fierce fundraising campaign and raised $100,000 to save the ship. Their efforts inspired a corporate sponsor to supply the $1 million balance, and the navy donated the ship. And so the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park was born.
Today, the ship rests safe and sound in the harbor—a 680-foot mammoth whose enormous mass displaces more than 44,500 tons of water. More than 13 million visitors have trod its deck, wandered through its passages, and gazed at its 29 16-inch and .38-caliber guns.
Resting alongside the ship, the WWII submarine USS Drum welcomes visitors to explore inside its labyrinthine hull, inviting them to climb through hatches and imagine what life would be like if every doorway were round. The memorial park also houses a cavalcade of military equipment, vehicles, and aircraft on display, including a T-55 Iraqi tank, a Cold War–era Lockheed A-12 Blackbird, and a World War II–era Douglas C-47D Skytrain.
More than four decades ago, Bikram Choudhury founded schools in India devoted to his brand of yoga, and then began branching out across the world. His technique incorporates a series of 26 postures tied together in a heated environment to aid flexibility and boost the body's toxin-fighting prowess. Today, Bikram Hot Yoga Mobile's certified instructors continue Choudhury's tradition, welcoming people of all experience levels into a studio whose vibes are as warm as its temperatures.
Seeking to enrich the world with professional opera and musical presentations, Mobile Opera is launching its 65th season by staging Leonard Bernstein's popular operetta based on Voltaire's 1759 novella Candide, which features such jovial singables as "Glitter and Be Gay" and "Make Our Garden Grow."
World Gym jump-starts fitness routines with cardio machines, free weights, and 35 years of body-sculpting know-how. Instead of eating a spicy burrito or betting a pristine collection of Choose Your Own Adventure books on a poker hand to work up a sweat, guests may watch cliffhangers on a fleet of TVs as they trot on treadmills and pedal stationary bikes. Tanning equipment shades skin during World Gym's staffed hours, and seasoned personal trainers divulge their calorie-slaying wisdom during informative consultations and workouts, available by appointment. After running, jumping, lifting, or curling up in the corner with a good book, patrons may retire to the changing room or pick up their gear in available lockers. Additionally, a key grants patrons access to the facilities 24 hours a day, seven days a weeks.
With a waiting room complete with toys, Chiropractic Works PC looks as much like a pediatric office as a chiropractic one. Doctors of Chiropractic Be Phetsinorath and Link Nguyen do indeed treat adults—but they have a special place in their office for kids. The duo treats patients young and old with chiropractic adjustments to correct chronic back pain or acupuncture for the common cold. They also offer laser therapy, which may relieve pain so patients can enjoy more freedom of movement. And because the staff speaks Laotian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese fluently, even clients who don't speak English will feel at home.

Proud as
MAC Runner-Up
Kent State battled Northern Illinois into two overtimes but saw its hopes of claiming the school's first Mid-American Conference football title in 40 years and an improbable BCS bowl berth fall just short at Detroit's Ford Field.
Huskies quarterback Jordan Lynch ran for 160 yards and three touchdowns to lead Northern Illinois to a 44-37 victory over Kent State in Friday night's Marathon MAC Championship.
Even with Lynch backing up his selection as the conference's offensive player of the year, the Golden Flashes battled their way into overtime with three touchdowns in the final 4:53 of regulation.
The first two of those scores arrived just 15 seconds apart.
"What a great football game," said Kent State head coach Darrell Hazell. "It's a tough one for us to swallow, but that's a great football team we played. I was proud of our football team for keeping battling back … We just needed to make a couple of more plays at the end on both sides of the football.
"I love our guys in the locker room. They are in there hurting. This team will take a couple of days to get over this one."
While there will be no trip to the Orange Bowl or the Sugar Bowl, this week's No. 17 team in the BCS ranking and No. 18 team in the Associated Press Poll can take the heart it showed in its fourth-quarter comeback into its first bowl appearance since 1972.
The announcement of where Kent State will play in December will be made the night of Sunday, Dec. 2.

Macy's has partnered with fashion icon Nicole Richie (daughter of famed singer Lionel Richie) for an exclusive line for the company's Impulse division.
A new infant through tween apparel line from Gwen Stefani called Harajuku Mini for Target is slated to hits stores this fall, according to various media reports of an interview the singer did with Women's Wear Daily. Prices are expected to range from $3.99 to $39.99.
Payless ShoeSource announced that Sierra Kusterbeck, lead singer of alt-rock band VersaEmerge, will be the face and voice of the retailer's new, exclusive teen brand, Brash.
An amazing variety of people shop at Walmart stores, which is understandable given the company's often cited statistic that 140 million people visit its stores weekly. This diversity of customers is one of the things that makes Walmart unique as this video from singer Jessica Frech cleverly illustrates in a light-hearted way. Click here to watch.
Target announced that it is partnering with soprano singer, Jackie Evancho, for the exclusive, deluxe edition of her first full-length studio album, "Dream With Me."
From win-win to lose-lose. Do enough deals with different celebrities and sooner or later one of them is bound to blow up. That's what happened to Target last week when entertainer/singer/gay rights advocate Lady Gaga had a change of heart regarding a prior commitment with Target.

Sony's GC Press Event: PSN cards coming to Europe
During today's Sony GamesCom presser, the console-maker confirmed that PSN cards are coming to Europe. They'll be available in €20 and €50 varieties.
The liveblog contains all knowledge. Worship it with your eyes.
Mon, Jul 27, 2009 | 22:11 BST
Rumor: PSN cards coming to Europe, launching with PSP Go
Belgian site consoleshop.be appears to have cracked open a hidden vein of European prepaid PSN cards, and will share its bounty with everyone else on October 1.
The PSP Go — in all its download-only glory — also launches on October 1, so pairing it with PSN cards makes sense.
The cards will apparently come in two flavors, €20 and €50.
When contacted by Edge, Sony claimed that consoleshop.de's images were actually 'shopped versions of North American PSN cards. However, the console behemoth has yet to confirm or deny the existence of European PSN cards.
Using our speculative crystal balls, however, we've seen the future. There's fire raining down from the heavens, terror-driven riots that signal the coming of a new age, and blood caked all over the boots of a new, hell-borne regime.

Hawaiians can hit the beaches in confidence through liposuction
England's "Human Barbie" Sarah Burge and daughter enter Georgia's pageant circuit
Florida Governor approves tougher liposuction regulations
New York, NY- For the past couple of decades, plastic surgery and liposuction has mostly been a woman thing as they strive to improve their appearance. But men are now becoming more accepting of the idea of changing their appearance through surgical enhancements.
In 2011, 9 percent of all non-surgical and surgical cosmetic procedures were performed on men, while this may not seem like a large amount it represents a 121 percent increase since 1997.
For men liposuction and eyelid surgery ranked among the most popular procedures. In 2011, men had 41,000 liposuction procedures representing a percent increase over 2010. Close to 23,000 eyelid surgeries were also performed on men, a 6 percent increase over last year. Other procedures performed on men included rhinoplasty, eyelifts, facelifts and male breast reduction.
While women gravitated towards non-invasive procedures, which include Botox, laser and microdermabrasion procedures, men have not been shying away from more invasive procedures.
The days when people had liposuction or other cosmetic surgery and hid away for weeks while they recovered are no more. Popular television shows featuring nips and tucks along with open celebrities have helped lift the negative stigma of plastic surgery for men and women.
Not only can liposuction and plastic surgery help a man look better it can also help improve their self-esteem, which is especially important for the professional man. Men considering plastic surgery should speak with a board-certified surgeon to see how they can improve their appearance.

ID Cards & Bearbucks
Please come visit us in our new location at the Office of the Bursar in Signers' Hall
The PolarExpress Card
The PolarExpress card is the permanent University Identification card for students, staff, and faculty of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Ā This card includes your name, photograph, UA identification number, and library number. Ā A central database contains the information needed to identify the buildings and rooms you may access, meal plan type, some account balances, library check-outs, computer lab access, and other activities. This information is electronically stored on the magnetic strip of the PolarExpress card.
The account balances on the card refer to monetary funds which may be added to the card for making copies, printing documents, purchasing food on campus inn dining facilities and vending machines, as well as some off-campus locations. These declining balance funds are called Bear Bucks. Every PolarExpress card includes a Bear Bucks account so you can decide if you want to use that feature or not. Many meal plans include Munch Money, which may be used for food purchases.
All currently registered students and continuing employees should come in to our office located in Signers' Hall to obtain a PolarExpress card. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are closed 8 a.m to 10 a.m on Wednesday due to a staff meeting.Ā To get your first PolarExpress card, come in to our office, fill out an application, bring in your government issued photo ID (driver's license, military ID, or passport,) we will make you a card for free!
The PolarExpress card is a permanent card, valid for two years after the holder's last affiliation with the University. All privileges expire upon departure from the University, with the exceptions of your Bear Bucks and Munch Money accounts. Holders who return to the University system within two years and no longer have their PolarExpress Card must purchase a replacement card.
Notify the PolarExpress office immediately if you lose your card, 474-7384 and select menu option #2. If you call after business hours, the card will be deactivated the following business day. In all cases, your card will be deactivated, until you stop by our office to get a replacement. If you find your card, bring it to the PolarExpress Office to have it reinstated. We cannot reinstate ID cards over the phone.
Come by our office to replace a damaged, lost or stolen card. You will be charged $10 for a replacement. If you are replacing the card due to a name change, be sure to notify the UAF Office of the Registrar of your name change. We cannot print out a card with your new name until the change has been made in the Banner database.
Never surrender your PolarExpress card to anyone as a deposit or collateral for any reason. However, your PolarExpress card remains the property of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and must be presented or surrendered upon demand by any authorized personnel.
The UAF Courtesy Card
Our Courtesy Card is for use by individuals who do not have a direct affiliation with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, who want access to library privileges, use of a Bear Bucks account or the ability to use 10 block meal plans at the Lola Tilly.
Much like the PolarExpress card, a Courtesy Card includes a photo of the card holder, an ID and library card number. The cost for a Courtesy Card is $10.00, and is valid for one year from the date of purchase. For any additional accesses or privileges to be added to the card (as an example access to the Student Recreation Center) a written request from the department authorizing the access is necessary prior to adding to the card.
To obtain a Courtesy Card, come in to our office in Signers' Hall. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are closed 8 a.m to 10 a.m on Wednesday due to a staff meeting. To obtain your first courtesy Card card, come in to our office, fill out an application, bring in your government issued photo ID (driver's license, military ID, or passport,) and $10.00 in cash, check, or credit card. Please note that during peak times of the year, it may take a week or two for the information to be added to our database before our office is able to process a Courtesy Card.
The charge for renewing an expired Courtesy Card is $10.00. Please come by the PolarExpress office to renew your card.

Luxist Visits Ski Dubai, The World's Largest Indoor Ski Area
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Sports, Architecture & Design
Sipping a cup of hot chocolate beneath a heat lamp on the deck of the cozy mountainside Avalanche Café, it's easy to forget that you're in the middle of the desert in Dubai. That is, until you see a pack of bearded men gleefully whizzing down the slope, white tunics billowing like sails behind them.
Any excursion to Ski Dubai, which purports to be the world's largest indoor ski area, is filled with this sort of incongruity. Though the air outside routinely tops 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, the temperature inside the 22,500 square meter facility remains just below freezing all year round. The structure that encloses the ski slope is as tall as a 25-story building; its flagship trail, the first indoor black diamond ever built, is longer than three football fields. There are four other runs of varying difficulty, as well as a chairlift, a freestyle snowboarding zone, and of course, the aforementioned café.

Why I still cannot finish the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign
(It's not a matter of skill)
By Bill Jones
I never bought the original Xbox. I just didn't give a shit. I tried, but I couldn't.
My brother picked it up, and at the time we were still living in the same house, so I had one readily at my disposal if I ever really wanted to play it. I usually didn't, though.
And sometimes I think maybe that's why I never really got into Microsoft's flagship console series (yes, also a PC title), Halo. But I really don't think that's the reason. Again, that original Xbox was always at my disposal, and I distinctly remember the amount of Goldeneye-caliber multiplayer parties going on at our house numbering in the ridiculous.
But as everyone else was enamored with its multiplayer, I was doing what I usually did. I've always been interested in the storytelling aspect of video games, and so generally speaking the story, the single-player campaign, has always come first for me. Maybe that's why years later I actually got reinterested in the series, finishing Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST. Or maybe it's just because I was obligated to review those. (more…)
