This article is part of the Monstergeddon series.
The singer dove off the stage and crowd surfed in a sort of reverse funeral procession where the person being carried is the only one truly alive. Touching him I felt religious ecstasy and started speaking in tongues and requesting songs that didn't exist.
There's no easy way to put this, so I'll tell it like it is. Bouillon is died. He went missing before the weekend and yesterday I found his skeletonized remains at the bottom of the #3 soup vat during one of my swims. I thought the cream of mushroom soup had an especially nourishing taste, and a lot more clumps of fur and skin than usual.

I'm always curious about this.
If you spend a solid (but not abnormally ambitious) day writing on a single project, how many words might you crank out in a day?
I find that I normally write at least 500 words every day, but when I'm really focused on a project, 1,000-2,000 words in a day is, for me, a very good clip. I'm always amazed (and, admittedly, demoralized) by writers who claim to write in a single day what I can, if I'm lucky, write in a week.
What about you?

NBA AM: Is It Time For A 20-Year Rule?
Posted By Steve Kyler On July 28, 2011 @ 9:05 am In All,NBA | No Comments
Is It Time For 20?: In the Collective Bargaining process things are traded; one side gives up a point so the other side gives up their point.
Historically in this process current NBA players tend to sell out the younger NBA players, especially rookies. Notice there is not a single first or second year player on the NBA Players' Association Executive Committee? So you can expect that if selling out the next wave of NBA Players is the key to getting a percentage point swing here or there, the rookies will get traded.
One topic that has not gotten a lot of attention in this process is the NBA's expressed desire to raise the NBA's minimum age limit from 19 years old or one year removed from your graduating class to 20 years old and two years removed from your graduating class.
Now most people thing the NBA's age limit is bad for basketball, which is debatable. Some believe the NBA's age limit is biased, and it very well may be.
The NBA fought for the 19 year age rule, not because they had huge issues with straight from high school players not being able to play, it was more about maturity, coachablity and ultimately marketablitly.
The NBA wanted desperately to get their people out of high school gyms and out of the business of dealing with high school coaches and the seedy underbelly of basketball, not that college basketball is much better, but at least there is a basic layer of accountability, where almost none exists in high school especially among the power teams.
The NBA also wanted to give its teams more of a chance to avoid mistakes. This is a common theme in the Collective Bargaining process that the players hate and the fans hate even more. But the reality is it is the league's responsibility to craft a rule set that helps team's succeed and sometimes that means protecting them from themselves.
There is a common belief that the more time teams have to evaluate players in highly competitive setting the better prepared they will be in making decisions.
The fastest way to the lottery in the NBA is to swing and miss on a draft pick. The NBA Draft is the easiest and fastest way to improve a team, and it also ends up being the cheapest way to add quality talent. The cheapest talent a NBA team will ever get is its first round draft pick, and swinging and missing on those picks can cripple a franchise.
Factor in the number of dollars that NBA teams have sitting on benches because the player they drafted either wasn't ready or was a bust and the need for an age limit become pretty clear on the NBA side.
As a general philosophy NBA owners want to pay players to play, they generally do not want to pay players to learn the game. This is a battle most GMs face on a year to year basis in convincing ownership of the importance of development dollars. Smart owners have bought in for the most part, but that has not changed the overall idea that an age limit only helps teams avoid mistakes and reduce the development expense.
As the labor talks in the NBA are set to resume Monday, the bigger picture topics still have to be reached and agreed upon, but once both sides start in on details, expect one of the bigger details to be an increase in the NBA's age limit and with everything the NBA is pushing for a 20-year age rule seems to be an easy chip for the NBA Players to cash, especially if it gets them a concession from the owners.
You may not like the idea of an age limit, but the truth of the matter is players have employment options other than the NBA and as far as the NBA's concerned playing in the NBA is not a right, and it's something a player has to earn.
Considering how many players opted to return to college, the 2012 NBA draft could still be a solid draft class even if the incoming rookies like Kentucky's Anthony Davis or Baylor's Quincy Miller are blocked from jumping into the NBA after their freshman year, it just means the player your team drafts might actually be ready to play in the NBA in his rookie year rather than spending the bulk of his first season in a suit or worse yet rolling in a bus in the D-League.
Time To Talk Again: ESPN's Chris Sheridan is reporting that both the NBA and the NBA Players' Association are setting up meetings to re-open collective bargaining talks and the first meeting looks to be scheduled for Monday August 1st, a full month after the NBA opted to lockout its players.
Monday's meeting is not expected to feature a full cast of characters, rather basic personalities. NBA Players' Association director Billy Hunter and his lawyers along with NBAPA president Derek Fisher are expected to represent the Players. NBA Commissioner David Stern, Labor committee chairman Peter Holt and deputy commissioner Adam Silver are expected to represent the Owners.
Both side remain miles apart on a framework for a deal with the NBA Players' stance being that the current system works and should only be tweaked on the revenue split side, where the NBA would like to see an entirely new system crafted that would rein in costs and apply some level of parity to the league on the financial side.
Hunter recently explained his views on the situation, suggesting that things were playing out exactly as he predicted they would and the David Stern is following the script he laid out at the start of this labor process.
"He pretty much followed [his original] road map," Hunter said to Jonathan Abrams of Grantland.com. "I was convinced when he told me then that he would do it, so I started to prepare the players."
"They are trying to do the same thing here that they did in the case of the NHL and they're following the same blueprint. I know it, and I preached it time and again to our players from the inception.
"I've said the same thing: They're not negotiating in good faith; they have no desire or intentions of getting a deal without a lockout because if they think they can threaten us or lock us out for a year or whatever, that the players will cave and they'll get everything they want."
The Players' latest offer proposed a reduction of their revenue split from 57% to 54.7%, which would represent a $100 million per season give back from the Players in order to keep the existing system in place.
The NBA owners want to see a 10-year deal that locks in more cost certainty and slow phases out the current soft cap system and replaces it with a harder more restrictive salary system.
The NBAPA's claim that the NBA is strong arming its players into a hard cap like the NHL is a bit misplaced as the NHL's salary cap jumped from $59.4 million to $64 million for this upcoming season, after under expected profits across the league.
The NHL has been able to rein in costs and which has solidified a number of teams on the brink of bankruptcy and enhanced franchise values enough so that troubled owners have been able to sell their teams to owners willing to invest.
Uniformly it's believed that September 15th is the next target date. That would give teams and the league roughly 15 days before the scheduled start of training camp and would allow for enough league business to be completed to insure pre-season is unaffected.
Billy Hunter recently met with the major agents in the NBA, who urged Hunter to explore decertification of the Union so that class action lawsuits could commence as a means to apply pressure on the league.
Hunter is reluctant to take that stance, but if talks on Monday do not prove to be fruitful, that subject may get revisited.

Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignancies of bone, occurring predominantly in the population younger than age 30. They most frequently involve the ends of long bones, particularly the distal femur and proximal tibia.1 Common clinical presentations include pain, pathologic fracture, and soft-tissue mass. Telangiectatic osteosarcomas are an uncommon, yet aggressive, morphologic variant, comprising approximately 2% to 4% of all osteosarcomas.2 Radiographically, they typically appear destructive and radiolucent, often resembling the radiographic appearance of aneurysmal bone cysts.3 Although there is usually only a small amount of osseous matrix within this neoplasm, it is not unusual for there to be a significant associated soft-tissue component. Periosteal reaction in the form of a Codman's triangle may be seen in association with a more rapid-growing tumor. Fluid-fluid levels on computed tomography (CT) and MR imaging, although nonspecific findings,4 can be seen in association with telangiectatic osteosarcomas and are thought to represent areas of hemorrhage into cystic spaces,5 which are characteristically lined by giant cells and tumor cells rather than the endothelial cells more typical of aneurysmal bone cysts. Osteosarcomas, in general, have been known to be metastatic, with the lungs being the most common site of invasion. The treatment generally involves wide local excision and, sometimes, limb amputation, depending on the extent of the disease. Some believe that there may be a role for chemotherapy.6 The prognosis is considered to be similar to that of conventional osteosarcomas.
The telangiectatic osteosarcoma is an uncommon type of osteosarcoma characterized by hemorrhage into dilated cystic spaces, which often results in fluid-fluid levels on CT and MR imaging. These patients typically present with severe pain, and care should be taken to distinguish this neoplastic process from aneurysmal bone cysts and other benign processes that may have a similar imaging appearance.

A 4-Point Plan for Protecting Active Joints
A 4-Point Plan for Protecting Active JointsIf you're overweight, losing some extra pounds is the place to startJoint pain doesn't have to be a natural consequence of growing older. By using a combination of new discoveries and time-tested therapies, you can help keep your joints feeling young so you can continue to enjoy an active lifestyle.1. Lighten Up to Get Moving
If you're overweight, losing some extra pounds is the place to start to help keep your joints performing their best and to prevent arthritis from setting in. Exercise is a key player in preserving healthy joint function by strengthening the muscles around the joints, enhancing local circulation, and raising levels of natural pain killers.
- Be joint-friendly: While high-impact sports are not likely to cause arthritis, they can make cranky joints feel worse. Focus on exercises that minimize impact on the weight-bearing joints, like swimming, cycling, and walking. Remember to warm up with gentle stretches or add yoga to your routine to get the most out of your workout and to reduce the chance of injury.
2. Eat Your Way to Healthier Joints
What you eat affects how your joints feel and function. Certain foods are thought to cause inflammation in the body, increasing pain and interfering with the healing process.
- The brighter, the better when picking produce: Colorful fruits and veggies contain powerful antioxidants that may combat inflammation. Feed your palate with the rich hues of blueberries, mango, kale, red cabbage, sweet potatoes, strawberries, and pomegranate.
- Fit in some fish: Adding fish to your diet at least twice a week is a good idea. Rich in inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, wild-caught salmon and farmed rainbow trout are good picks.
- Think before you eat: Foods in the nightshade family-tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplant, and potatoes-can make joint pain worse for some people with osteoarthritis. If you have this kind of arthritis, try avoiding these foods for a couple of months to see if your symptoms improve. Some doctors have observed that sugar, meat, and dairy may also negatively affect joints. The meat and milk from grass-fed cows are actually high in omega-3 fatty acids (much like fish); grain-fed cows, however, produce meat and milk that is high in a specific type of fatty acid (arachidonic acid) that may be pro-inflammatory. Choose 100% grass-fed meat and dairy products, and opt for unrefined sweeteners like maple syrup, brown rice syrup, and rapadura (dehydrated cane juice).
3. Consider supplements
With so many choices on the market for joint pain, here are some tips for finding the best bets for keeping your joints feeling supple:
- Glucosamine sulfate/Chondroitan sulfate (GS/CS): These supplements can help improve joint function and lessen osteoarthritis pain. GS is the building block for the synthesis and repair of joint cartilage, and supplementation may relieve osteoarthritis symptoms and sometimes halt disease progression. CS is a similar molecule that may actually help heal the joints over time in people with osteoarthritis. It also significantly decreases pain and improves joint mobility. Recommended dosages: 1,500 mg per day of GS; 1,200 mg per day of CS.
- Anatabine: Derived from a plant alkaloid, manufacturers have started marketing this supplement claiming anti-inflammatory effects. Until more is known about the safety and effectiveness of this supplement, people should check with their doctor.
- Capsaicin cream: A cream made from an extract of cayenne pepper containing 0.025 to 0.075% capsaicin can reduce joint pain and tenderness. Apply four times per day to affected joints for two to four weeks; decrease as symptoms improve.
- Herbal aid: Plant-based remedies have been used for centuries to help ease joint pain. Look for products containing some or all of the following: boswellia, cat's claw, ginger, holy basil, and turmeric. These herbs may facilitate the removal of proinflammatory substances from the body and shift the balance to those that promote tissue healing and calm inflammation.
- Seaweed extract: Some seaweed extract products have shown promising results for treating joint discomfort and reducing the need for pain-relieving medications in people with arthritis.
4. Create a Home Spa
At the end of a busy day, take the time to nourish your body from the outside, too.
- Soak away the pain: Epsom salt baths may be helpful for tired, achy bodies. Hot water allows the magnesium-rich salts to penetrate tissues, relaxing sore muscles and bringing relief to stiff joints. Don't go light; add a full quart of Epsom salt to bath water and soak for as long as you like.
- Make the most of marvelous mud: Recent studies have confirmed that mineral-rich mud packs can bring lasting relief to arthritic joints. Mud packs may be sold under the names "peloid" or "peat" packs.
If you have ongoing joint pain that doesn't respond to these simple measures, it may be a sign of a more serious condition. See your doctor to determine a plan that's right for you.

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- With flu season about to kick into full gear soon, the Adair County Health Department wants to remind everyone the importance of getting a flu shot.
So far, the turnout for people getting their flu shot has been pretty good.
Even though the drive-thru clinic held earlier this month had to close early due to bad weather, people have been still stopping by the health department.
The health department did an evening clinic last Wednesday where about 80 people showed up.
Health officials say getting a flu shot is one of the best ways to help from getting sick in the first place.
"It's to help prevent the spread of the flu in the community. Always remember good hand washing and cover your mouth when you cough," said Lori Guffey R.N. at the Adair County Health Department.
The Adair County Health Department still has a good supply of flu shots available. There will be two more evening clinics on Wednesday October 31 and November 7 from 4-6:30 p.m.
You can also come by the Adair County Health Department on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m.-4 p.m to get your flu shot. You can call them for more information at (660) 665-8491.
No appointment is needed and the shot is free to all Adair County residents.

Uhm, no. 19th. [Ion] just cuts the top teams away from the list because it would be unnecessarily long otherwise and because that part is not relevant due to being way out of our league. (or maybe that is all what fits in his screen? who knows?)
I am hoping the 32 hours of crunching I just unloaded this morning, will help us leave the, DREADED, 12th position. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92697&page=307 about half way down, if you even want to know, is where I start to explain 12 (Since this may not be in your personal jokes on me file yet).
Well, then. Um, ION? Can we please not slice the list where we land on 12? I'm hoping you don't take me too seriously but, it would really make me happy, or rather, happier, to not be 12th, ever.
Indeed. Particularly since I do most of this on a 1024x768 display (12" laptop ooh yah) there's only so much that can be shown. I chop off the very top and most of the teams below because it's not very relevant to our daily comparison. I'll see what I can do--how about that? I can't promise I'll remember, but I think I can work out something

Dick Pinney's Guidelines: Getting the right gear to fish for tuna
Trolling with natural or artificial bait is not so complicated and can be done with the minimum of boat equipment but if you want to go all the way with outriggers, downriggers or other trolling gear, expect to take a bit hit in your wallet. The actual fishing gear can be similar to the bait fishing set-ups but that's about all this is similar. Your tackle dealer should be able to set you up with trolling rigs that run from a simple lure to very expensive, multiple lure rigs. You'll still need all the gear for actually landing a fish that bait fishermen need.

Pentagon cutting jobs, maintenance
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has begun laying off many of its 46,000 temporary and contract employees and cutting maintenance on ships and aircraft to slow spending out of fear of new defense budget cuts, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said yesterday.
Carter said he had asked the military services to produce detailed plans by Feb. 1 of how they would reduce short-term spending before roughly $45 billion in cuts go into effect on March 1.
He asked for detailed long-term planning by Feb. 8 on how the services will handle the across-the-board cuts, which will go into effect on March 1 unless Congress agrees on an alternative package of spending reductions.
The Pentagon currently is absorbing $487 billion in cuts to projected defense spending over 10 years that were agreed to in the Budget Control Act of 2011. That law also required additional across-the-board cuts by Jan. 1, 2013, unless Congress agreed to an alternative.
Lawmakers failed to reach a new deal but did agree to postpone the across-the-board cuts until March 1 to give themselves more time. But March 1 is five months into the fiscal year, giving the Pentagon less time to absorb them.
The Pentagon's budget mess has been further complicated by congressional failure to allocate funding for the Pentagon's budget for the 2013 fiscal year, which began October 1. The department is currently operating on a continuing resolution that maintains funding at 2012 levels.

Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.

EU Regulatory Update: Defining R&D in REACH
By: Annelie Struessman, PhD, CONUSBAT
Posted: November 16, 2009
REACH legislation distinguishes between scientific research and development (SR&D) and product and process oriented research and development (PPORD). In Article 3/23, SR&D is defined as, "research carried out under controlled conditions in quantities of less than 1 tonne per year."
Under REACH, substances manufactured or imported in volumes less than 1 tonne per year do not need to be registered. Therefore, substances undergoing SR&D are exempt from registration. Additionally, according to Article 56(3) and Article 67(1), the provisions for authorization and restriction of substances do not apply. However, a notification to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has to be made for substances meeting the criteria for classification as dangerous, per Article 113. This obligation goes into effect on Nov. 30, 2010. For substances placed on the market after that date, it applies as soon as the substance is launched, per Article 116.
In Article 3/22, PPORD is defined as "any scientific development related to product development or the further development of a substance, on its own, in preparations or in articles in the course of which pilot plant or production trials are used to develop the production process and/or to test the fields of application of the substance." As such, any development of a substance through scaling-up or process improvement research in a pilot plant or in a full-scale production, as well as application research, falls under the definition of PPORD.
REACH does not impose a limit on the quantity in PPORD, neither to manufacture or import of the substance as such or in a preparation, nor to the incorporation or import in articles. Obligations for substances in PPORD in quantities below 1 tonne per year are the same as those for SR&D, except that authorization and restriction requirements may apply to PPORD.
Substances in volumes of more than 1 tonne/year undergoing PPORD can be exempt from registration for a period of five years, according to Article 9. In order to benefit from this provision, a company needs to submit a PPORD notification to ECHA. Upon request, the exemption can be extended for another five years. If substances have not launched to the market or if a company is developing medicinal products for human or veterinary use, an extension of up to 10 years can be granted. If a substance is also manufactured or imported for other purposes than PPORD, the quantity outside PPORD has to be registered as any other substance when exceeding the 1 tonne threshold.

A family home at 415 E. Fifth St. in Maryville sustained moderate smoke damage Monday morning during a fire that Maryville Public Safety officials said started in the basement.
Firefighters and utility crews responded at 8:14 a.m. after a smoke alarm reportedly warned members of the Stephen Sybert family that there was a fire somewhere inside their ranch-style house.
MPS fired division supervisor Phil Rickabaugh said four of the five family members were home at the time of the blaze but were able to evacuate the structure along with several pets.
Crews arrived on the scene from the nearby fire station within minutes and had the fire under control by 8:30 a.m., Rickabaugh said.
No sure cause of the fire was determined, but the "point of origin" was a basket filled with clothes in a laundry area. The basket was was sitting on top of an extension cord plugged into both an exercise machine and a wall socket. Rickabaugh speculated the cord may have overheated.
In addition to smoke damage throughout the walk-out basement and street-level garage, Rickabaugh said the fire also caused some damage to the house's electrical system due to the blaze's proximity to a breaker box.

Kernel: New Maintainer for x86 Branch
Back at the Kernel Summit in September Andi Kleen announced that he would no longer be maintaining the i386 and x86_64 branches if they were merged in the new x86 branch. A new patch shows that Kleen has kept his promise.
The patch changes the x86 architecture maintainer, making it obvious that Andi Kleen is no longer in charge.
At the Kernel Summit 2007, Kleen crticized Linus Torvalds who was still officially the maintainer of the i386 branch for not putting enough effort into maintaining the code. Torvalds referred to i386 as obsolete in five years and proposed merging it with the "x86 Architecture" branch. From now on, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar and H. Peter Anvin will be maintaining the code which now includes both the i386 and x86_64 architectures.
The proposal to merge these two kernel branches was made by Thomas Gleixner on the Linux Kernel Mailing List in July. This step is likely to facilitate troubleshooting and debugging in future. At the same time, it will make it easier and faster to implement new features.

Additionally, in campaign mode, during planetary assault a situation could emerge when one of the teams have no chances of winning against the other. In that case, team leader will be better off issuing a retreat order to keep team mechs intact and later regroup with other players of his faction, rather than attacking the enemy, his team has no chance to beat.
Now in full-fledged MMO, such things are done by simply running away. But MWO is match-based so what I want to discuss here is the ways to implement retreat and evacuation from the battlefield in different game modes, specifically in team death match and planetary campaign.
It shouldn't be easy and too forgiving, score-wise but it has to be a viable option to save what's left from your mech. It could cost you some part of match income(but definitely less that the cost of repairing a completely ruined mech), it could also yield less experience per that match. Ideally, I'd like to see it as a mission of it's own, with someone on the team(maybe only commander role players?) calling a dropship to one of a possible landing locations on the outskirts of the map and retreating players rushing there to board the ship with their lancemates providing a covering fire(MW2:Mercs intro comes to mind). Maybe such extraction flights should be limited to 1-2 per match?
Anyway, I really interested to hear what you guys think about all this.

Casting Light on the Virgin/Whore Dichotomy
Him: Delilah was a hoochie mama.
Me: If Delilah was a hoochie mama, Sampson was a manwhore.
Him: I don't appreciate you nitpicking the words I choose to use. I've starting saying "hoochie mama" because it's nicer than the alternative. And this is the only way to teach my girls the consequences of dressing and acting in a certain way.
Me: Silence.
I've been biting my tongue a lot lately when it comes to issues like this because I get so dang tired of arguing with people, but this is what I wanted to say. "Sheesh, for the love of all that's good and decent, find a way to teach your daughter that doesn't require labeling her a virgin or a slut!"
Last weekend I read "Ripper, my love" by Glynis Smy. It was a fiction novel about Jack the Ripper and the woman he loved and cherished—a sweet, caring girl who had no idea the man she cared for was a serial killer. The story was told from several points of view, and I found myself reading chapters from the view point of Jack the Ripper himself.
I admit this was disturbing at first. Who wants to be in the head of a villain? But by the end of the story I was grateful to the author for doing it the way she had because it drove home the danger of viewing all women through the virgin/whore lens.
Jack had no problem murdering disreputable women. He believed that by ridding the world of low class, impoverished prostitutes that he was doing society a favor. These women were dirty and poor and vile. He measured their worth by the company they kept and by their promiscuous sexual behavior. Since he determined their value in this way, he felt justified in murdering them even as he frequented whore houses to satisfy his own sexual needs.
I'd love to say that because this book is fiction that it's not to be taken seriously, but I can't in good conscience do that. It is exactly this kind of thinking that contributes to rape culture and violence against women.
In Smy's fabulous debut novel, we grow fond of Jack the Ripper's love interest, Kitty. She's a strong, independent, compassionate person, and Jack puts her on a pedestal, treating her with reverence and respect for most of the novel. Needless to say, she is the epitome of the "virgin" in the dreaded virgin/whore dichotomy, but even she has the pedestal yanked out from under her when she doesn't behave according to Jack's expectations.

Ugh, that dichotomy frustrates me so much, too! Especially when it's pushed onto young girls. I'll definitely need to read this book!

Being a writer-type, I have to believe that there is power in words. Anything with power should be wielded with care and thought.
Just my take. Good for you for communicating your feelings to your friend. A good friend will listen, even if they don't agree. - May 16, 2012 at 11:21 AM

Angela,your post has made me stop and think. And to use my debut novel in such a way, plus your compliment, has humbled me. Thank you!

virgin/whore dichotomy
I got to say, I'm curious enough now to read this version from Glynis at some point, and I don't read this type of book often.
If I had to read Jack The Ripper, this would be it. I'm holding back for now, as I have an odd misc eighteenth century piece of work among my own files, and I don't want to excite those brain cells within me, as yet, or else I will not finish my present projects. But yes, I will give this a read when the time is right!
It did make me think however, of women in the business in todays era from that part of London, who are probably still haunted by this happening from the past, and how different they might think compared to the same women in the business, say, who operated from a much better area of London.
By the way Glynis, what an interesting and very unusual book to write.
Great post Angela! - May 16, 2012 at 12:23 PM

What an amazing post! You said exactly how I have thought about this sort of thinking. Only I have never been able to put it into words the way you have.

Here I thought you had read the book on Victorian literature about the angel and the serpent dichotomy. If you really want to see through the eyes of a deviant read Lolita by Nabokov.
It is my opinion that if girls are treated with respect and have a good example set for them they will be less likely to behave in ways that feed the myths. - May 16, 2012 at 1:42 PM
- Stephsco said...
This is why I have trouble with Bret Easton Ellis' work (books and film: American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction) because of the madonna/whore view of the women in his works. Some literary critiques say that a dismissal of his work is elementary, like anyone who disagrees is just the unwashed masses who don't get that he intended to create and explore vile characters who do awful things. OK, so... it's still demeaning toward women, whether it's your point to make it that way or not. I don't like seeing a "dark comedy" with the opening shot of a college student being raped.
Anyway - I always appreciate this topic being brought up and discussed. It's important not to lose sight of how we label women and how we teach younger women to see themselves. - May 16, 2012 at 1:59 PM
- Kittie Howard said...
Another great post, Angela. Like Alex said, there are colors between polar opposites. Hiding behind one or the other erodes at creative thinking skills.

Yay I'm in!! I always find it a personal triumph when blogger lets me in you blog! LOL!!
Oh I loved your "manwhore" come back!!
All the best to Glynis and her wonderful book! take care

Makes me think of this pin I pinned:
"If I have don't have sex with you I'm a prude bitch. If I use the pill, I'm a slut. If I get pregnant, I'm an idiot. If I get an abortion, I'm Satan. Yay!" - May 16, 2012 at 4:51 PM
- Karen Lange said...
This is an interesting topic; I agree with you. Seems that there should be some middle ground, terminology wise at least. And where does forgiveness and whatnot lie, when someone who was of the one extreme aims not to be so anymore? We need to equip young (and older too) girls with the right tools and some of the hows and whys so they better understand consequences short and long term.
Thanks for the food for thought, and for the book review. Sounds like an intriguing read.
Have a great weekend! - May 17, 2012 at 9:53 AM

I guess we do still use words that conveniently categorize each other to certain standards. It can be unfair and, many times, wrong. It's probably a way for society to protect itself, but too many times it becomes a means to abuse and shun.
- May 17, 2012 at 5:29 PM
- Clarissa Draper said...
Yeah, I don't think people should make up names for people or judge them based on one characteristic alone. Only a writer can do that... I'm excited to read the book especially with that POV.
- May 17, 2012 at 5:30 PM
- Susan Oloier said...
What a powerful post, and I applaud you for openly discussing this topic on your blog. There is way too much hate language against women as it is, and this dichotomy only contributes to that. This sounds like a must-read book.

I expect a man's daughters sexuality would be a profoundly disturbing prospect. On first seeing her he truly falls in love for the first time.
- May 18, 2012 at 6:48 PM
- Talei said...
Well, this is an interesting POV for a story about Jack the Ripper. I do find myself in a little conflict if I sympathise for a serial killer, that's just me though. You know the old - good v. evil no matter what. But, I have to say, this sounds like a good read! I'm intrigued.
And for your friend, I guess he's just protecting his daughters, I can see that. It's what parents do, in their own way. Kids grow up and use their own language and have their own views. We just try to soften their views sometimes.
Have a fab weekend! x - May 18, 2012 at 7:34 PM
- Roslyn Ross said...
Categorising, labelling or attributing 'blame' to women for the way they dress is merely patriarchal propaganda. If you make a list of all the words which relate to women, invented by patriarchy to subjugate and control them - whore, slut, slattern etc.,- it will take you some time. When you try to do the same for men it will take you no time. There are no words. Manwhore is merely a modern invention to balance but it is not taken seriously.
The reason why women have been abused, oppressed and imprisoned by patriarchy for thousands of years is because men were jealous of the power women had as creaters and birthers and sustainers of life and their vulnerability as sexual beings in their presence. So they projected their own weakness, fear, powerlessness, rage onto women and divided them up into 'virgins' and 'whores.'
Sexuality in women is no different to sexuality in men and is a gift from God (or whatever you believe is at work in the world) to be enjoyed.
We don't need to invent words for men who are passionate about sexual experience - we just need to get rid of the words used against women who are passionate about sexual experience. - May 18, 2012 at 10:53 PM
- Liz Fichera said...
I've seen Glynis's book in various posts and Goodreads. Am now more intrigued than ever to read it. Getting inside the head of a villian? Totally intrigued.
- May 19, 2012 at 6:48 AM
- KO: The Insect Collector said...
This book sounds fascinating, and what a great dichotomy to turn on its head.
This may be a tangent, but one of the weirdest/saddest parts to me of this dichotomy is that it is often women labeling other women as sluts/whores. Not that all women have to get along simply because of shared gender... oh no, I'm getting way off track.
I think we do have to question words and how they're used. I'll stick to that for now. :0) - May 21, 2012 at 12:10 PM
- anthony stemke said...
I enjoyed reading your thought provoking post. Interesting story about the love/hate aspect of the ripper, adds a new dimension to the tale.Everyone I think has some kind of dichotomy in their persona.
- May 21, 2012 at 12:41 PM
- Krispy said...
Great post on a topic that I think needs more discussion! I'm also totally interested in the book now.
Thanks! And also, it's nice to be back here again! :) - May 23, 2012 at 4:01 PM

Charles Skalaski, who was sworn in as a Coral Gables police officer in 1949 and almost four decades later was named the department's chief, died Nov. 8 of Parkinson's disease .
He was 85.
"He was the great spirit of Coral Gables. I remember him for his spirit and enthusiasm," said former Coral Gables Mayor Don Slesnick. "The chief made people feel he was close to the community."
Skalaski was born March 1, 1927 in Bridgeton, N.J. He came to the University of Miami where he played in the 1946 Orange Bowl — which the Canes won against Holy Cross.
For seven years, Officer Skalaski taught driver's education and coached at Gulliver Academy in his spare time.
Sometimes, when he showed up for roll call at the police department, he was still wearing his Gulliver uniform and a whistle around his neck.
"The only thing he didn't have was his clipboard," said James Butler, a former chief with the Coral Gables Police Department.
In 1955, Skalaski was honored by the Coral Gables Junior Chamber of Commerce for coaching kids in Little League football, baseball, basketball and bicycle derby.
"He loved sports and kids, he was that type of guy,'' said Robert Faidley, who was sworn in as an officer the same day as Skalaski. "He wanted to be around what he loved to do."
In the 1960s, he was promoted first to sergeant, and later to lieutenant. He also continued to supervise organized sports at the Coral Gables Youth Center.
In the 1970s, he attended the 92nd session of the FBI National Academy.
In 1983 he was promoted to the rank of major, and on March 1, 1988 — his 61st birthday — Skalaski was sworn in as chief of police.
"He had a coach's mentality about teamwork," said Butler. "He managed the department like a coach on a football field."
After retiring from the police department in 1995, Skalaski ran for mayor, but lost against Raul Valdes-Fauli.
"At that point he was Mr. Coral Gables and never planned on leaving. It was always his dream," said Fay Skalaski, his wife of 25 years. "He just had perseverance and a hard work ethic. He loved the city of Coral Gables. He loved everything about life and lived it the way he wanted to."
In addition to his wife, Skalaski is survived by daughters Donna Marie Schofield and Carolyn Briggs and sons William Skalaski and Charlie Skalaski.
The funeral services will be held at a later date in Vero Beach.
Skalaski was born March 1, 1927 in Bridgeton, N.J. He passed away November 8 in Lighthouse Point.
In 1945, Skalaski moved to Florida when he received a football scholarship to the University of Miami, playing the tight end position.
A game that Skalaski wore as a badge was on New Years Day in 1946. Skalaski helped bring UM to victory when they played against the College of Holy Cross for the Orange Bowl.
His son, Charlie Skalaski, kept football in the family. He played for the University of Florida and is now assistant coaches for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Skalaski continued his love for football well after he joined the Coral Gables Police Department. On October 13, 1949, Skalaski was sworn in as a Coral Gables police officer alongside with Robert Faidley.
With 44 years dedicated to the Coral Gables Police Department, Skalaski constantly contributed to the community through organized sports.

The 2012 Free Fantasy Football Draft Kit is here! Click below to see the entire draft kit.
It will be updated throughout the year so come back!
Updated sleepers and printable cheat sheets are coming as we await training camp and preseason news.
Comments are closed. You will not be able to post a comment in this post.
1. The only way to win at Fantasy Baseball is to PAY ATTENTION. Most champions check their team when ever games are played with rare exception. If you like baseball, you probably check anyway. Five minutes a day will keep the last place far away. This is the only way to keep up to date on Fantasy Baseball injuries, trades and other team moves. Fantasy Baseball Champs are the ones who last till the end and keep scouting, trading, and maximizing their scoring potential. As they say, Fantasy Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.
2. Going hand in hand with paying attention to your Fantasy Baseball team is maximizing your starts. At the end of the season have you used all your innings? Have you used most of your position starts? If you haven't you, have left points on the table. As they say, Fantasy Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. It's the last weeks that determine the winner.
3. The Fantasy Baseball Draft. Most players base their entire season on the Fantasy Baseball Draft. Your team does not live and die with the draft, but of course it is important. When conducting your Fantasy Baseball Draft the best advice is to play it safe. Don't try to out smart yourself, draft a balance of pitching and offense. Look at positions that are thin, like 2B for example, and make sure you get yours. Draft a "sure thing" veteran starting pitcher. Draft a veteran big bat. After that, use player rankings early in the draft to guide you in your Fantasy Baseball Draft. Save gambles for middle and late rounds. Go into the draft with a small draft plan and some sleepers. Then throw away your plan. The most important thing during the draft is to ADAPT! Notice what positions are and are not being drafted. Can you hold off on drafting your first basemen because everyone has already drafted one? Was there a run on starting pitchers? You better get one, even if it is a slightly over-priced player. Go with the flow of the draft and you will do better than sticking to a plan. If you are new to drafting and your league offers an auto-draft option, use it. This will give you a safely drafted team. One last tip for the draft may be the most important. Draft closers. They are finite. In other words, there are 30 closers day one and 30 closers on the last day of the season. In most Fantasy Baseball leagues closers are valuable and can't really be replaced.
4. More important than the draft is the free agent frenzy that occurs during the baseball season. Assuming that your draft was not a throw away, any team can be rebuilt through free agency. Every year major stars arise and who are undrafted free agents in Fantasy Baseball. This goes right with rule one, pay attention. Using a scouting service is a great way to help in this crucial are of Fantasy Baseball. This is the function of Pro Fantasy Baseball.
5. Trading in Fantasy Baseball. Not a must to win, but if you are a successful free agent scout, you need to try to trade. You will be able to replace many drafted starters with free agents. The old two very good players for one great player is the best way to improve your team. You improve a position and open a roster spot for another free agent acquisition. Opening roster spots is one of the most important things you can do to help your Fantasy Baseball scouting. Do your best not to trade any of your "Studs". Trade early when nobody really objects to trades.
6. Check your leagues point system before the draft and occasionally during the season. Obvious, but often ignored. Notice during the season which categories seem to be manufacturing a lot of points. If you see a point strength in the some category make moves for players who excel at that category. You will be surprised how you can stop a weakness on your team and turn it into a strength in the league. Some leagues, like Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, have a STANDINGS scoring summary. Use this to analyze strengths and weakness of categories during the season.
Did you know that there are fully legal websites like Draft Day to play fantasy sports pursuant to the 2006 UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Ac)?

You begin margins for optimism, but the scenarios before we brought pleasant events start to show signs [...]
Read more. Little activity in the gold market yesterday, low turnover and a slight drop in price. Swiss bank UBS has lowered its forecast for gold prices to $ 1,180 for the end of 2013 while the French bank Société Générale expects an average price of 1,050 in 2014. Logically, these gloomy predictions encourage the sale of gold by investors and indeed the ETF funds continue to lose customers.
