to confirm the installation and start the installation process.The install will copy over the necessary files to the system. During the installation process, the installer will also check to ensure that the default administration port is not already in use by another application. If the default port is unavailable, the installer will prompt for a different port to be used for administration of the Membase server.
Once the installation process has been completed, you will be prompted with the completion screen. This indicates that the installation has been completed and your Membase Server is ready to be setup and configured. When you click

West Virginia Adventure Resort Since 1979
So you're still reading? You're probably thinking you can resist the lure of West Virginia's whitewater rafting on the New and Gauley rivers and the way these mountains energize just like the tingling fizz from an ice-cold fountain pop. You're forgetting how much the sights and sounds of the outdoors will stand out in contrast to the hollow echo of office walls, the honking horns of gridlock and that neighbor's yapping dog. You're probably telling yourself you can quit anytime - that you can resist all-inclusive, super-convenient packages and a thousand different activities to please everyone on your roster.
You know what they say about denial.
Wild places and exciting times have a way of sticking with you to the point you just can't shake it. We've seen it happen many times. Some abandon their families — just another "girls' weekend out," they say. Some quit their "real" jobs and move to West Virginia – how do you think we get our guide staff?
No intervention yet has proven successful at getting these adventure addicts to go back to their old ways. If it didn't make them happy and healthy, we'd be really worried.
But, regardless, the Surgeon General still makes us include a word of CAUTION — The repeated use of ACE Adventure Resort for prescribed purposes of outdoor adventure vacations has been shown to be habit-forming. Even proper use of ACE may induce side effects such as uncontrollable laughter, intense happiness, family-togetherness, excited-osis and acute relaxation.
You are now free to leave this page. You've been warned!
"This was our first-time rafting and my son was just old enough for the Lower New River trip. The guides were AWESOME! They scared us just enough that we paid attention and learned what we were supposed to do, but put us very much at ease with their humor and obvious capabilities. We had fun, fun, fun and talked about it for days afterward.
We were really impressed not only with our whitewater rafting experience but with the ACE Resort as a whole. We think it is really well run and a great value. We've already recommended it to friends and family and hope to return ourselves asap."
Jana – 2013
"We just ot back from an amazing trip at ACE where we enjoyed zip lining and rafting with a group of high school freshman. The accommodations were wonderful, but what was more wonderful were the guides that worked with us. I've never been so comfortable with our students being in the hands of these guides. Their patience, knowledge and personalities made for a stress free and enjoyable trip. We will be using ACE for many years in the future!"

Primus Express Lander Liquid Fuel Stove

Excellent stove
Andrew Rogan
Member since
I had a Brunton stove that was really good: lghtweight, small, powerful, and sturdy. Somehow lost the stove but not the bottle. I bought this guy and am blown away. It's smaller and fits into my little kettle perfectly. It weighs nothing, primes quickly and easily, and works flawlessly. I really love it. Boiled 2 liters of water in minutes.
The construction is really good. The legs are a bit flimsy, I bent one but straightened it with no problem. If there isn't something on the stove it is easy for the tension of the fuel line to tip it over.
I can't recomend this stove enough. It's just really really good.
Good lightweight stove
Member since
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought the Express Lander a month ago and I've since taken it on a 7-day trip in Yellowstone plus used it a few times car camping.
It's performed very well so far. Things I like about the stove: (1) It's easy to light and lights reliably, (2) it burns with a hot flame and uses fuel efficiently, (3) it's light, (4) it's easy to start with cold fingers -- pump/fuel line, folding legs, valve, etc are all easy to use, even with gloves.
I had one problem with the stove early on, but it looks like that was user error. The proper way to shut down the stove is to flip over the bottle to let the fuel in the line burn up and the pressure equalize. Then you can unscrew the pump from the bottle. I made the mistake of turning off the valve and taking off the pump a few times, and the pump wasn't holding pressure well. Fortunately, I had bought the pump repair kit and a little fresh silicone grease on the pump head fixed the problem, which hasn't recurred since. That's all to say, when you're giddy to fire up your first pot of tea with a new stove, read the instructions for shut down, not just start up.
20-some uses in, I'd recommend the stove.
Does anybody know where this stove is...
Member since
Does anybody know where this stove is manufactured? Also, what is the weight with and without the pump? This website lists the weight as 6.2 ounces. Does that include the pump? If so, that would make it the lightest liquid-fuel stove out there...
Member since
On my digital scale, the stove is 6.25 ounces. Stove and pump are 9.9 ounces.
The packaging says it's "Made in EU" which I would assume to be Sweden since Primus is a Swedish company.
Exceeded Expectations, Highly Recommend
Member since
I got this stove to be a lightweight liquid fuel stove and figured it would be average given the focus on weight savings. It has been much better than that.
My experience started off poorly with a defective pump that leaked fuel through the pump housing. Packaging indicates manufacture has not been sent to China however, and Primus was responsive. They got me a new pump which worked fine, and I have used it for five trips since.
The stove design is simple with very few extra parts or things that can go wrong. I was able to dismantle and field clean the jet without a schematic because it was simple and solid with no little bits to lose or part to break. The reliability has been excellent.
It seemed like output might be low with the small burner, but I have melted several liters of water from snow on multiple occasions in the Cascades and done group meals without much problem. There are certainly better snow melters and faster boilers, but this stove surprised me with its competence in this area.
Simmer control is middling, but better than most one valve stoves I have used. It is not a gourmet cooker but I was able to turn it down enough to save fuel while simmering and avoid burning food.
Fuel consumption was another surprise - this stove is more efficient than any of my other white gas stoves (coleman, Optimus, MSR, SVEA) in terms of the fuel used for each liter melted or meal cooked. Not by a huge margin, as they all operate on similar principles, but I noticed that I consistently used less than expected with this stove. There is definitely a power trade off, but its not a weak stove.
Pot stability is good, I have had no problems with it using 1L and 2L pots. In addition, I thought the legs might be flimsy given how insubstantial they look, but they actually seem quite solid and fold up smoothly. I trust the overall stability with this stove more than some stoves with much beefier legs because this one just seems to work without any issues despite the lack of overall contact area. I also find the feet very functional.
The weight is simply great. I love being able to have a liquid fuel stove and yet have it only weight half of what a typical white gas stove does and yet get great functionality. I am a big fan of liquid stoves in general, and this one has already started to earn a place next to my SVEA 123's in terms of my satisfaction with the overall design. It goes on almost every trip where I need a stove now.
* one small issue: stove is so light that the priming and vaporization assembly can make it tip to that side without a pot on it if the feet are not planted. Doesn't bug me, but someone else might find it annoying.

Becker muscular dystrophy
Other Names for this Disease
- Becker's muscular dystrophy
- Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy
- Muscular dystrophy pseudohypertrophic progressive, Becker type
- Muscular dystrophy, Becker type
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] It is caused by a mutation in a gene called the DMD gene, which encodes the muscle protein dystrophin.[2] The disorder is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Becker muscular dystrophy is very similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, except that symptoms develop at a later age and progress at a much slower rate.[1][2] In addition to the skeletal muscles used for movement, Becker muscular dystrophy may also affect the muscles of the heart.[2] There is no known cure for this condition. Treatment tries to control symptoms to maximize quality of life.[1]
Becker muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that involves slowly worsening muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis.

Urban Sprawl Modelling: Combining Models to Make Decision
Urban sprawl is frequently associated with the idea of an unsuitable development, leading to increasing economic, social and environmental problems. Moreover, its control is difficult because multiple patterns (concerning numerous traditional urban planning fields) overlap. In order to understand the sprawl process and to manage its consequences, it must be simplified. The construction of a decision making tool appears then interesting. The GIS-based tool presented here is being developed incoll

Computadoras y Arquitectura en la Era Digital (Computers and Architecture in the Digital Era)
It seems that when architects think, and talk about computers, they only reflect on very narrow images of the phenomenon. Architects think that the impact of computers in their profession is only related to how PCs, CAD/CAM, networks, software, peripherals, can improve the way they work today. Architects, by enlarge, are unable to reflect beyond the screen of their computers and the wall of their offices when it comes to recognize the real consequences resulting from the new technological advanc

Places of Mind: Implications of Narrative Space for the Architecture of Information Environments
Virtual reality and cyberspace are extended spaces of the mind different from, yet related to, the spaces of fiction and ancient myth. These earlier spaces reveal how electronic media, too, may come to define our selves and our culture. Indeed, a better understanding of how we use space to think can lead to the design of better information environments. This paper will describe a range of traditional narrative spaces, revealing their varied relationships with the physical world. It will demonstr

Brazil has so many historical cities with important architectural heritage. Some of them are remains of the colonial times and aggregate beautiful buildings such as, palaces, public buildings and churches in baroque style, legacy of the Portuguese colonization. Despite of its cultural value, most of these building sets are under several kinds of threats. This paper discusses about the experience on digital photogrammetric restitution of the building fa?ades of Pelourinho, a neighborhood in the

This case study gives a brief introduction to the subject of corrosion and helps in learning how to navigate and make use of the subsequent case studies. This is an introductory level case study.
ECorr: Pipeline Corrosion
This case study presents an investigation into the corrosion of a steel pipeline submerged in salt water; it covers corrosion rate and possible protective coatings for the pipeline. This is an advanced level case study.
The ?cybrid architecture? has been defined like integration of physical and digital spaces. Based on the capability of electronic media to generate virtual environments (cyberspaces) which could be related to buildings. However, theoretical studies and contemporary works reveal a more complex relationship between media and constructions. Expressed in architectural characteristics that constitutes a new spatial quality, named here projected space. Hence the paper argues that ?cybrid architecture?
Endoscopy as a Tool in Architecture
The European Architectural Endoscopy Association was established in connection with the Association?s first international conference on August 25-28, 1993, which was hosted by the Department of Architecture at the Tampere University of Technology.

The first EAEA conference was attended by 25
Expertise of the Architect
One of the areas where the expertise of the seasoned architect comes out is in the initial structuring of design problems. During problem structuring the parameters and processes used in design are defined. Experienced architects modify these parameters both in global and local levels as a function of the success of their research process. Experienced architects also rely on 'scenarios' acquired through pervious experiences with similar problems to initialize their problem structures or to redef
Development of Computer Systems for Use in Architectural Education
Computers have not been used in education in a way that fosters intellectual development of alternate approaches to design. Sufficient theory exists to use computing devices to support other potentially fruitful approaches to design. A proposal is made for the development of a computer system for architectural education which is built upon a particular model for design, that of rational decision making. Within the framework provided by the model, a series of courseware development projects are p
Material & Space: Synthesis Strategies based on Evolutionary Developmental Biology
A material system can be defined as a set of self-organized materials, defining a certain spatial arrangement. In architecture, this material arrangement acts as a threshold for space, though space often only appears as a by-product of the material organization. Treating space as a resulting, therefore secondary, independent product minimizes the capacity to generate architecture that is astutely aware of concerns of functionality, environment and energy. An effective arrangement of material can
Architecture as Drawing, Perception and Cognition
This work is about realizing that human perception is inherent to architecture. It is an asset and a trait subject to training and development in an empirical way, involving physical and manual action. It cannot be taught literally through convention and logic reasoning. It is a human achievement of great significance built on intellectual and scientific knowledge. It is something, being physical and empirical, that is supported on instrumental procedure. The computer, as a machine and an instru
A CAVE-Interface in CAAD-Education
The so called "CAVE-interface" is a very interesting and thrilling development for architects! It supports a better illusion of space by
exposing almost a 270? view of a computer model than the 60? which can be viewed on an ordinary computer screen. At the Lund
University we have got the possibility to experiment with a CAVE-installation, using it in research and the education of CAAD. The
technique and two experiments are discribed. The possibilities are discussed and some problems and question
Generic Representations - Typical Design without the Use of Types
The building type is a (knowledge) structure that is both recognised as a constitutive cognitive element of human thought and as a constitutive computational element in CAAD systems. Questions that seem unresolved up to now about computational approaches to building types are the relationship between the various instances that are generally recognised as belonging to a particular building type, the way a type can deal with varying briefs (or with mixed functional use), and how a type can accommo

SACKED Richmond footballer Daniel Connors is almost certain to continue his playing days in the Essendon District Football League next year.
The 24-year-old is expected to train with Aberfeldie tonight, with the club hopeful of securing his signature by the end of the week.
Abers coach Mal Michael said the club had been in negotiations with Connors for the past month and indications were he would play with them in 2013.
"We're pretty confident that he'll come and play with us,'' Michael said.
Connors was sacked by Richmond in July after missing a training session, the final straw after a number of incidents in recent years.

THRIVE: What on Earth Will it Take?
June 5, 2012 2 Comments
THRIVE is a full length movie about the agenda of the powerful elite, and what we can do to dismantle them to reclaim our destiny as totally free human beings. The documentary explains in captivating detail where we came from, where we are, and where, as the human species, we are meant to go. The movie was written and produced by a man named Foster Gamble. Gamble is a descendant of one of the founders of the company Procter and Gamble. Foster began at a young age to question the way society was ordered and as a result embarked upon a life-long quest to find answers. The movie is the culmination of his life work, and it invites the viewer to ride along on a journey toward truth. Read more of this post

I decided to go out to a club with some of my friends on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun … I always enjoying having a couple of drinks and dancin' the night away.
I take my nightclub dancing very seriously. I'm not one of those people who needs a few drinks in them to get out there and have fun. I probably look ridiculous but that doesn't matter. I'm there to have a good time We were at a country bar … with a lot of country music, people in cowboy hats and boots … and ample amounts of two stepping.
I left my cowboy boots at home though.
Have you ever two stepped before? It's one of my favorite dances – but that's because I'm a country girl at heart and have serious amounts of love for anything sang by Keith Urban/Tim McGraw/Garth Brooks/Blake Shelton/anyone in a cowboy hat.
I danced with several guys (who were all only mediocre – like I said, I take my dancing seriously), and then another fellow came up to me. He asked if I wanted to dance, and I said yes. It's very rare I'll say no to someone when they ask me.
The poor guy didn't have any idea what he was doing, plus he was leading with the wrong hand. I was trying to adjust to it … he was moving really fast … I was definitely struggling, but was trying to be a good sport about it.
Then, he decided to dip me … and dropped me. On my back. On the dance floor.
I would guess this was around 1 AM by this time – and you know what dance floors are like by that time of the night. Slimy, sticky, sometimes there is broken glass. And there I was laying in it (with a bruised elbow sustained from the fall, I might add).
Good times Oh well, I survived.
Do you like to dance? My friends can't stand me sometimes because I'll drag them right out into the middle of the dance floor against their will. Whoopsie!
Saturday ended up being a spectacularly late night (I think I went to bed around 4? Yikes!). So yesterday I was beyond useless. A complete write-off. I had originally intended on heading to the gym. That got bumped on my schedule for this:
Slipper boots + yoga capri pants (anyone else LOVE hanging out in exercise clothes?!).
I did a yoga workout Saturday afternoon for arms and shoulders, and ended up being quite stiff and sore yesterday. Plus, I consider dancing in high heels for 3 hours a pretty great lower body workout Or at least that's what I told myself.
I'm back on the usual exercise train today! This morning's workout will be a hilly 25 minute bike ride (I don't usually worry about how many miles) and then some arm and shoulder work. I signed up for the Tone It Up! Bikini Series, and that kicked off yesterday. I've decided I'm not going to follow the plan word for word (even though I love those girls and they're geniuses), but use it more as a loose guideline for the next little while. I figured it can't hurt to try to incorporate different routines into my regular workouts … I'm just not going to force myself to follow it everyday.
What is your workout today?

Our highest-quality Akoya cultured pearls mounted on 18k white gold posts with push-back closures for pierced ears.
I got these for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day and she loves them! She's been wearing them since she got them. They are very beautiful earrings. The size is perfect and they are super shiny! Thank you, Blue Nile!
Anonymous, San Francisco, CA – May 2013
Very nice pearls: clear and impeccable. The size is just right. Very good quality for your money. I am very satisfied with this investment.
Natalia, Fountain inn, SC – January 2013
I ordered a matching necklace for the earrings. The pearls were all beautiful and high quality, however the shade of the necklace pearl was slightly less rose-hued than the earrings - I would have preferred a more exact match. That said, my friend was thrilled with the gift and I was happy with the value and ease of ordering.

Microsoft Works on PHP and Open Source
Microsoft Corporation has opened an Open Source Interop Technology Center near Munich, Germany that should promote open source software on Windows and improve the relationship of its products with the free software community.
The first months of activities of the new entity near Munich are dedicated primarily to working on support for the PHP scripting language on Windows. In addition, the center is putting efforts into the Interoperability initiative of the Open Source Business Foundation (OSBF), the European open source network located in Nuremberg that also includes Red Hat and Novell among its members.
Leadership of the Interop Technology Center will be under Andreas Urban, who has the new position at Microsoft of Manager of Open Source Strategy. His boss is Andreas Hartl, Director of Platform Strategy. Responsible for coordinating the PHP work and communicating it to the PHP community is Pierre Joye at Microsoft's Open Source Technology Center in Redmond.

Running/Walking footwear comes in four basic categories; lightweight, neutral, stability, and motion control. The different categories are designed to best match an individual's needs, based on how the foot strikes the ground when walking or running. It's important to match the shoe to your foot so you can give yourself the best chance of running injury free! During our fitting process, we'll scan your foot with our iStep scanner, peform a Video Gait Analysis during which watch you run or walk on the treadmill, and ask you a series of qualitative questions about your running and injury history. At that point we can fit you in several different brands until you find what feels best.
Potomac River Running is also your source for the best seasonal running, walking, triathlon, and lifestyle apparel:
- Lightweight technical shirts, shorts, and tanks for the summer

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- Federal authorities say a former Fort Benning soldier who was caught with child pornography on his computer during a tour of duty in Kuwait has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison.
The Ledger-Enquirer of Columbus reports Michael Allen Ray pleaded guilty to a charge in July and was sentenced last week. Officials say a U.S. District judge in Columbus ordered Ray to serve 25 years of supervised release after his prison term, and the former soldier will have to register as a sex offender.
Authorities say Ray was the target of an undercover sting in 2011 and the Army sent Ray back to the United States after officials found child on his computer. Authorities arrested Ray and confiscated his computer at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

Letter: Hit the gas on speed limit increases
To the Editor:
The recently signed 70 mph speed limit bill begins to undo the damage done by the national 55 mph limit established in 1973.
After reading the recent Illinois speed limit bill and discussing it with sponsor Jim Oberweis, it is clear to me that the bill was intended to cover, and should apply to, metro Chicago.

To make it easier to choose which destination is right for you, we have compiled a state-by-state list of our available locations.
Types Of Locations Terminals and agencies provide the easiest access to frequent schedules and transfers to other bus schedules nationwide.
In major cities, our company-operated terminals provide full-service ticketing and package express service, with extensive hours of operation (many are open 24 hours). In smaller communities, locations may be operated by independent agents, which also provide schedule and package express service.
Bus stops (identified with a [B] in Greyhound Ticket Center) provide limited schedule service for a large number of locations, which do not support a full-service terminal or agency. As a general rule, no ticketing, baggage, or package express service is offered at these locations. Some of these locations may be at a local airport or transit center, while others may simply be a stop along a highway route, without an enclosed waiting area.
Passengers should be aware that no Greyhound ticketing facilities are available at bus stop locations.

Naomi Wolf: Anonymity for rape accusers gives impunity to prosecutors
By Helen Lewis Published 04 September 2012 7:55Last night's Newsnight tackled the topic of rape, and featured Naomi Wolf, whose new book Vagina: A New Biography went on sale yesterday.
It was odd discussion, to say the least.
First, we heard that Wolf had previously argued that Julian Assange's accusers should be denied anonymity. In the very next sentence, however, Jeremy Paxman's voiceover segued into asking "Are there times when No doesn't really mean No?" (I can't see the link myself.)
At 2.30 minutes in, Paxman interviewed Wolf. She said:
I'm not saying that those women should be - quote unquote - unmasked. I'm saying that it serves rapists to have rape cases prosecuted under the cover of anonymity altogether, because it gives impunity to prosecutors.
Paxman points out that the law was changed here to give anonymity.
Wolf says:
It had wonderful motivations, but the upshot here is that in Britain, only 6 per cent of reported rapes, which is a small fraction of all rapes, get convicted. . . I do think, like many feminists, that rape shouldn't be stigmatised unlike any other kind of assault. . . It stigmatises women, and it allows impunity.
... The reason I know there's something very corrupt about the prosecution of the Assange case - I'm not talking about the women right now, we just don't know enough - is that it is so profoundly different from... the way rape is prosecuted for any other victim in Sweden.
This is all very odd. Wolf has consistently expressed the opinion that because other rape complainants are poorly treated, these ones should be too.
She went on to explain that what is alleged in the Assange case was generally dismissed by Swedish police and prosecutors, because the women "weren't innocent enough".
Hmm. Could this be the same woman who wrote this Huffington Post piece?
In that piece, Wolf does EXACTLY what she suggests the Swedish prosecutors have done to others - she dismisses the allegations because there was a previous relationship between Assange and his accusers.
(There's a rare example of an incorrect correction at the bottom of that piece, too:)
Update and correction: The Guardian has, since I wrote this original post based on the Daily Mail, reported that the two women's complaints to Swedish police centered on the alleged misuse of or failure to use condoms, which can be illegal in Sweden.
I'll leave you to enjoy the rest of the interview, in which Wolf talks about the "brain-vagina connection", by yourselves.
16 comments
I tried to post a comment earlier today but got an automated message saying my submission had triggered the profanity filter, but there was no indication what that might be.
The comment I tried to post referred to the issues raised in the article.
It seems crazy that you cant reply to an article using the same terms as the article because the NS filter them decides they are profanity.
So much for promoting discussion!
actually, this is not a rape case! There was consent to sex. These women are not saying they were forced to sexual intercourse.
It is called a case of sexual molestation. Because - after getting started with protected sex, the person they are complaining about did not wear a condom or broke it, according to them. They never gave consent to unprotected sex. They only wanted protected sex. They went to the police because he refused to take an HIV test, to find out if they could force him to take an HIV test.
Incorrect! Both the Magistrates Court and the High Court held that the allegations amounted to rape. Please see point 2 here:
Not odd at all, the current dichotomy in Britain will be challenged at the ECHR, one cannot have anonymity for accusers (remember 10/12% allegations are false, malicious, FOI, 2011) yet men (Assange, Evans) are named with impunity. Either all are anonymous or none are. This will blow sky high soon.
It is how they talk. The case against Julian Assange is one of the most high profile "date rape" case. This is something that is ignored. However, there are many other high profile cases of sexual assault against celebrities and other famous people.
P.S. Wolf's Newsnight remark that "I'm not saying that those women should be - quote unquote - unmasked" is contradicted by her Guardian article where she says that anonymity for them is "bad law and bad policy".

'respected acedemic'(sic)?
She is a pseudo-journalist and political hack who studied English Literature at Yale!!
Her wittering about the brain-vagina conneciton was pseudo-science at its worst.
No wonder the rest of the civilised world outside the freethought/New Statesman/CiF blogosphere puddle chooses to ignore this stuff and get on with the real business of living our lives...
Lets be clear about this: until Helen Lewis provides evidence for:
"Wolf has consistently expressed the opinion that because other rape complainants are poorly treated, these ones should be too."
Then this is verging on slander of a respected acedemic who has 23 years of experience of supporting rape victims. I trust New Stateman will either provide evidence for this assertion or correct this piece.
@ NickFrankfurt
In this piece, Naomi Wolf repeatedly references what she believes are ways in which this case is being treated differently from "normal" rape cases, eg:
"I can say with certainty that this case is not being treated as a normal rape or sexual assault case."
Also, in the Newsnight interview quoted above, she refers to Sweden's high incidence of reported rape (although those statistics are contentious) as another reason why there is something suspicious about this case being pursued.
All the way along, the implication is that because most rape complainants get poor treatment at the hands of the police/judicial system, there is something wrong with what is happening here. She refers repeatedly to her work with rape victims as a way of saying that this case should not be prosecuted.
PS. You might be interested in this rebuttal to the piece I linked to above, which suggests that the pursual of this case is not, after all, suspicious or unusual.
Thanks Helen for taking the time to reply to the post as many columnists dont.
But your point "she refers to Sweden's high incidence of reported rape (although those statistics are contentious) as another reason why there is something suspicious about this case being pursued." no way implies that somehow Assange should be let off because Sweden treats rape victims so poorly. Rather it points out (quite correctly in my opinion) the glaring contrast between the way rape is "normally" treated in Sweden and the Asange case. Such a point is surely worth making whatever ones views on Assange or the Assange case.
Given Ms Wolf's copius writings and 23 years of expereince of supporting Rape victims her implication is obvious: that she would rather rape be treated with the seriousness it deserves in Sweden rather than only in the case where the accussed seems to have caused problems in other areas. Given Ms Wolf's stance on this issue I imagine the hypocrisy or in her words "the pimping of feminism for political ends" really sticks in her throat.
Instead this valid point has (whether one agrees or not) been smothered by people criticising Ms Wolf as somehow trying "to get Assange off" whatever his actions.
Such an argument, while media friendly in the UK at present, is a complete misreading not only of what Ms Wolf has written but also expresses utter disregard to her writings and work over two decades.
Helen, regardless of your above reasoning, your statement that ('Wolf has consistently expressed the opinion that because other rape complainants are poorly treated, these ones should be too') is an outright lie. I believe you should make an apology for it.
I gain more respect for this women every time I see her, she can't be put in a stereotypical feminist box despite the label attached to her which confuses a lot of people. She simultaneously speaks on behalf of the women neglected by the system whilst not depicting the situation in the black and white terms your generic feminist would.
She also highlights the blatant hypocrisy of going to such lengths to prosecute Assange when the average Swedish citizen would not be treated in the same way which totally belittles the plight of more serious sexual assault victims.
The government will turn on their warped idea of justice when it suits their political agenda but not for the lowly plebs.
Ah, like all the Assanginistas, you seem to know exactly how Swedish authorities would be handling this case if this were an "average Swedish citizen", despite that being an utterly ridiculous and evidence-free assertion.
The situation would never have arisen, had the alleged rapist been an "average Swedish citizen". Could an "average Swedish citizen" hole up in the Ecuadoran embassy claiming to be afraid of political persecution at the hands of the US if they were extradited back to Sweden?
Support for Assange is a fascinating, risible bit of tin-foil millinery based on a potent mixture of misogyny and knee-jerk anti-Americanism.
Couldn't agree more with your comments Jim. Helen Lewis states Wolf has consistently expressed the opinion that because other rape complainants are poorly treated, these ones should be too. Wolf has never said anything of the sort. What she has said however is that the idea that those involved in attempting to take Assange to Sweden are on a quest of justice for his alleged victims is clearly laughable.

These events are set during the Cold War in 1964, where a government team, codenamed "Feral Pack", is sent to the jungles of the USSR. Aided over radio by their support team, their mission is to rescue a defecting Soviet scientist who is secretly developing an advanced nuclear-equipped tank called the "Shagohod". However, not all turns out well for the pack... They must fight, survive and grow as the future of war, country and crazy ass bi-ped robots lerks beyond. Will they be able to ahndle what comes, or will they fall pray to what a solider is 'truly' meant to be.
Hello and welcome to my Metal GearRP ^^
There are a few basics that you may like to know before joining given that this is not going to be your normal 'you are awesome from the start' type of metal gear RP. We are a team, much like the cobra unit, and this is a sort of what if story to the fact they could have picked anyone for this mission, they they picked our team instead of Snake and The Boss. This is based in MGS3 and will play off certain aspects of it, but the story will become our own after that mission. Think of it as we were the guys that put the professor into the hands of the Russians to keep him safe from Volgen. I am free for ideas and talking about this but here are some key aspects.
This is apart of the much BIGGER RP, and I expect you to stay and build in it. From this RP we will move onto becoming a PMC in a much bigger RP, and we will be basically the GM's of this RP where our chars have shaped the very world from this one. Think of this as a cool experiment. ^^
There are only 5 spots open.
Write down what type of Char idea you have. Remember, be interesting and MGS like >:3

The Memory Palace (eBook)
The Memory Palace (eBook)
" People have abandoned their loved ones for much less than you've been through," Mira Bartók is told at her mother's memorial service. It is a poignant observation about the relationship between Mira, her sister, and their mentally ill mother. Before she was struck with schizophrenia at the age of nineteen, beautiful piano protégé Norma Herr had been the most vibrant personality in the room. She loved her daughters and did her best to raise them well, but as her mental state deteriorated, Norma spoke less about Chopin and more about Nazis and her fear that her daughters would be kidnapped, murdered, or raped.
When the girls left for college, the harassment escalated—Norma called them obsessively, appeared at their apartments or jobs, threatened to kill herself if they did not return home. After a traumatic encounter, Mira and her sister were left with no choice but to change their names and sever all contact with Norma in order to stay safe. But while Mira pursued her career as an artist—exploring the ancient romance of Florence, the eerie mysticism of northern Norway, and the raw desert of Israel—the haunting memories of her mother were never far away.
Then one day, Mira's life changed forever after a debilitating car accident. As she struggled to recover from a traumatic brain injury, she was confronted with a need to recontextualize her life—she had to relearn how to paint, read, and interact with the outside world. In her search for a way back to her lost self, Mira reached out to the homeless shelter where she believed her mother was living and discovered that Norma was dying.
Mira and her sister traveled to Cleveland, where they shared an extraordinary reconciliation with their mother that none of them had thought possible. At the hospital, Mira discovered a set of keys that opened a storage unit Norma had been keeping for seventeen years. Filled with family photos, childhood toys, and ephemera from Norma's life, the storage unit brought back a flood of previous memories that Mira had thought were lost to her forever.
The Memory Palace is a breathtaking literary memoir about the complex meaning of love, truth, and the capacity for forgiveness among family. Through stunning prose and original art created by the author in tandem with the text, The Memory Palace explores the connections between mother and daughter that cannot be broken no matter how much exists—or is lost—between them.
About the Author
Mira Bartók is a Chicago-born artist and the author of twenty-eight books for children. Her writing has appeared in several literary journals and anthologies and has been noted in The Best American Essays series. She lives in Western Massachusetts, where she runs Mira's List, a blog that helps artists find funding and residencies all over the world. The Memory Palace is Mira's first book for adults. You can find her at TheMemoryPalace.com.
