Getting A Yes (Instead of Avoiding A No) – The Standard of Enthusiastic Consent
The idea of just avoiding a "no" is a distressingly common one. The emphasis on consent is often the idea of "No". "No means no" we are taught, that when a woman says "stop", we stop. That's good. That's incredibly important. But sometimes it's not enough to just not get a no. You need more. It's not just about not getting a "no". It's about getting a definitive "yes".
Guys Actually Do Worry About Sex on the First Date
We assume men just want to have sex as early as possible. But the truth is more complex.
It's certainly more socially acceptable for men to value physical appearance. Case in point—male nudity at the movies. When we see male nudity on film it's often played for laughs. While men (and women) are treated to Halle Berry's breasts, the best we girls can get is "joke dick"—think Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall or Mark Wahlberg at the end of Boogie Nights. If we acknowledge that women are visual creatures then it puts more pressure on men to look good.
When Women Pursue Sex, Even Men Don't Get It
"More and more men are finding it difficult to be as direct, when it comes to dating and sex, as previous generations of men maybe once were," says Chiara Atik, author of Modern Dating: A Field Guide. We all get that the rules of traditional courtship — in which men make every single advance and women demur or acquiesce — are dead, but we haven't replaced them with a new standard operating procedure. "Everyone's being kind of wishy-washy," Atik says. "Women want sex, but they don't want to be seen as forward (or worse, desperate and promiscuous). Men want sex but are intimidated, unconfident, or don't want to be seen as domineering or piggish. We're not sure who should be the sexual instigators, and then no one really steps up to the plate."
Well this would certainly confirm what I've observed and experienced.
Why Women Aren't Crazy
Gaslighting is a term, often used by mental health professionals (I am not one), to describe manipulative behavior used to confuse people into thinking their reactions are so far off base that they're crazy.
Gaslighting can be as simple as someone smiling and saying something like, "You're so sensitive," to somebody else. Such a comment may seem innocuous enough, but in that moment, that person is making a judgment about how someone else should feel.
While dealing with gaslighting isn't a universal truth for women, we all certainly know plenty of women who encounter it at work, home, or in personal relationships.
And the act of gaslighting does not simply affect women who are not quite sure of themselves. Even vocal, confident, assertive women are vulnerable to gaslighting.
Because women bare the brunt of our neurosis. It is much easier for us to place our emotional burdens on the shoulders of our wives, our female friends, our girlfriends, our female employees, our female colleagues, than for us to impose them on the shoulders of men.
It's a whole lot easier to emotionally manipulate someone who has been conditioned by our society to accept it. We continue to burden women because they don't refuse our burdens as easily. It's the ultimate cowardice.
Whether gaslighting is conscious or not, it produces the same result: it renders some women emotionally mute.
These women aren't able to clearly express to their spouses that what is said or done to them is hurtful. They can't tell their boss that his behavior is disrespectful and prevents them from doing their best work. They can't tell their parents that, when they are being critical, they are doing more harm than good.
When these women receive any sort of push back to their reactions, they often brush it off by saying, "Forget it, it's okay."
That "forget it" isn't just about dismissing a thought, it is about self-dismissal. It's heartbreaking.
No wonder some women are unconsciously passive aggressive when expressing anger, sadness, or frustration. For years, they have been subjected to so much gaslighting that they can no longer express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them.
They say, "I'm sorry" before giving their opinion. In an email or text message, they place a smiley face next to a serious question or concern, thereby reducing the impact of having to express their true feelings.
Interestingly, I display similar behavior, and am subsequently seen as feminine for it. Indeed, men and women alike criticize me (and in the former's case, reject me) based on this trait.
What are your thoughts or experiences?
Hannibal Lecter and the subversion of the Male Gaze
Let's talk Hannibal and feminism for a second.
Specifically, let's talk about what makes Lecter's character so appealing to a female audience and why that makes so many people uncomfortable.
(Takes the book & movie canons into account. TW for discussion of murder, cannibalism and violence as well as mentions of sexual violence.)
Very interesting analysis. It makes a lot of sense.

Fascinating Facts About Male Sexuality
It turns out the reasons men fake it are actually pretty similar to the reasons that women fake it. In their minds — and we can argue whether or not it's productive thing to do — but in their minds, it's actually a form of kindness. They're kind of letting the other person know that they've done a good job. In this particular case in the book, this guy had trouble having an orgasm during intercourse, but it had never bothered him before. He's felt like a stud. The problem happened when he fell in love. Once he got his feelings involved, he became concerned that she was feeling bad about her own feminine charms and skills, and so to solve that for her he started to fake it.
I'd also imagine it has something to do with the fact that many men tie their masculinity and self-esteem to their sexual performance, and would feel embarrassed if they failed to deliver. I'd like to read this book for myself to judge the claims and research.
The Orgasm Gap: The Real Reason Women Get Off Less Often Than Men and How to Fix It
Freudian echoes, anatomical mischaracterizations and gender stereotypes are part of the logic naturalizing the orgasm gap, but there is nothing natural about it. We know this because women who sleep with women have many more orgasms than heterosexual women, almost as many as men who sleep with women. Women also have no problem experiencing orgasm through masturbation and the same women who frequently have orgasms during masturbation report many fewer orgasms when they're with a partner. Men are also not faster to climax than women; it takes women the same amount of time to orgasm during masturbation as it takes men, on average, to have an orgasm through intercourse: four minutes.
Instead of being driven by biology, women's rate of orgasm relative to men is a function of social forces. For one, we often bifurcate the sexual experience in line with gender norms: men are sexual (they experience desire) and women are sexy (they inspire desire). The focus on men's internal wants and sensations also draws our attention to his satisfaction. Thus his orgasm, but not necessarily hers, becomes a critical part of what must happen for a sexual encounter to be successful and fulfilling. This is part of why intercourse – a sexual act that is strongly correlated with orgasm for men – is the only act that almost everyone agrees counts as "real sex," whereas activities that are more likely to produce orgasm in women are considered optional foreplay.
Meanwhile, the idea that women's primary goal in sex is to deliver a sexy body can focus her attention on how she looks instead of how she feels. This can lead to spectating, being worried about how she looks from her partner's perspective, which decreases the chance a woman will have an orgasm. It can also lead to active avoidance of orgasm because of worries her face or body might do something unattractive.
In other words, we've created this artificial notion of what counts as "true sex" at the expense of women and, by extension, men (since one sexually unfulfilled partner can lead to a troubled relationship). Instead of obsessing over what "should" be done based on what social norms dictate, we should simply be pragmatic and do what works for both partners.
However, I think a lot more people are more avant garde about their sexual lives than they're willing to admit. The problem is that there is this pressure to conform to a certain social norm that a lot (if not most) people privately know is untrue. It's sad to see relationships suffer because we're trying to appeal to some arbitrary, dated, and sexist (to men and women) notion of sex that shouldn't matter in the bedroom anyway.
Regardless, I've seen men and women alike feel guilty about not being able to orgasm through traditional intercourse, even though they pull it off just fine through other means. Basically, if it's not "real sex" it doesn't matter that it works — it's still upsetting to people's pride or sense of masculinity/femininity.
I am sure every girl can recall, at least once as a child, coming home and telling their parents, uncle, aunt or grandparent about a boy who had pulled her hair, hit her, teased her, pushed her or committed some other playground crime. I will bet money that most of those, if not all, will tell you that they were told "Oh, that just means he likes you". I never really thought much about it before having a daughter of my own. I find it appalling that this line of bullshit is still being fed to young children. Look, if you want to tell your child that being verbally and/or physically abused is an acceptable sign of affection, i urge you to rethink your parenting strategy. If you try and feed MY daughter that crap, you better bring protective gear because I am going to shower you with the brand of "affection" you are endorsing.
When the f*** was it decided that we should start teaching our daughters to accept being belittled, disrespected and abused as endearing treatment? And we have the audacity to wonder why women stay in abusive relationships? How did society become so oblivious to the fact that we were conditioning our daughters to endure abusive treatment, much less view it as romantic overtures? Is this where the phrase "hitting on girls" comes from? Well, here is a tip: Save the "it's so cute when he gets hateful/physical with her because it means he loves her" asshattery for your own kids, not mine. While you're at it, keep them away from my kids until you decide to teach them respect and boundaries.

"You can't have a female character in games"
White heterosexual males are seen as a neutral default for the main protagonist across all media, from books to film to video games. Are men not capable of playing with, connecting to, and enjoying the story of characters that aren't of their same demographic?
Women (who typically constitute a slight majority in most societies) as well as social, ethnic, and religious minorities have had to work with characters that often noting like them. I'd like to think that even a male-dominated audience would be able to enjoy a narrative or interactive experience of a character not like themselves.
One of the major things I resent about the dating scene is how fake it is.
So many people pretend they want something deep in a partner — intelligence, kindness, integrity, and so on. But ultimately, they only ever go for people who are attractive, well-off, "confident" (e.g. jerks), or all of the above.
Everyone is entitled to like whoever they want of course. But in that case, don't waste my time pretending you want something qualitative when you clearly don't. I wish people could just admit what they want and stop getting my hopes up. I wish the dating advice given to me didn't consist of suggestions that I pretend to be something I'm not just to attract someone to me. Why should I have to resort to such disingenuous? Is this really the only way to pair up with someone? Am I really that undesirable that I must lie?
I know that evolution — and thus romantic preferences — favors those who are masculine, well-off, and attractive — all the things I'm not. I've accepted this fact. But it'd be easier to deal with if I wasn't led on by these insincere standards. Then again, I'm sure most people mean well, and simply can't help who they fall for.
Or maybe I'm just being bitter due to my own inadequacies. I'm not even really looking for anyone right now, but reflecting on the system that inevitably awaits me when I do.
Is It True What They Say About Men With Big Feet?
Maybe. Urologists at an English hospital in 2002 measured the length of 104 men's penises and recorded their shoe sizes, finding no statistically significant correlation between the two. The study was an instant hit, and several websites declared the penis length–shoe size myth officially debunked. The Explainer, however, isn't entirely convinced. A 1993 study observed a relationship between shoe size and penis length, albeit a weak one. A couple of other studies documented correlations between penis length and other body measurements. Turkish researchers in 2011 found that height, weight, and body mass index values all correlated with penis size. The same year that the English study claimed to bust the shoe-size myth, Greek urologists observed a relationship between penis length and the length of one's index finger. If the size of other body parts correlates with penis length, it would be surprising if shoe size did not. (Tall people with big hands, after all, are likely to have big feet.) Individual variation is to be expected, but this question may remain unsettled until a series of well-constructed studies reach the same conclusion. That might be a while, given the paucity of federal research dollars earmarked for penis-length studies.
The difficulty in these studies is finding an accurate, reliable method for measuring a penis. Body dimensions, in general, are subject to change. Standing up for long periods, exercise, and sitting through a trans-Atlantic flight can cause your feet to swell. Waist circumference also changes throughout the day, as does height. These variations, however, are insignificant compared with the way a penis shrinks and lengthens in response to temperature changes, physical activity, touch, and mental state. According to the aforementioned Turkish study, simply stretching out a flaccid penis changes its length by more than 30 percent.
Sometimes, it seems that the difference between flirting with someone and being a creep depends on how you look.

Chaz Bono is pissed off at the National Enquirer for running a story that predicts he will DIE in 4 years -- claiming the whole thing's a "smear campaign" that's "blatantly false" ... TMZ has learned.
The "story" is plastered right on the cover of the Nov. 11 issue with a headline that screams, "Chaz Bono -- ONLY 4 YEARS TO LIVE."
The article cites "expert" opinions from a guy named Dr. Patrick Wanis, who claims Chaz's weight combined with the stress and various medications associated with his gender reassignment "increase Chaz's risk of an early death." The Enquirer says Wanis predicts Chaz will likely die by 2015.
But Chaz claims the whole thing is a steaming pile of crap -- and his legal team fired off a letter to the Enquirer demanding they print a retraction and issue a public apology ASAP.
In the letter, Chaz's lawyer calls the story, "blatantly false and defamatory" -- adding, "The salacious and inflammatory headline and article were crafted for the malicious purpose of discriminating against our client's gender and sexual orientation."
"Further, the statements you attribute to Dr. Patrick Wanis and your depiction of him as a medical doctor specializing in transgender health issues are highly misleading and blatantly false."
Chaz's lawyer says if the Enquirer does not retract the story, Chaz will sue.
The reports that you are are a man are greatly exaggerated. Look down, you have a vagina.
If he doesen't croak in 4 years Dr. Patrick owes him a coke.
If "he" gets arrested then which jail would "he" go to? Again though I ask who is this person and why do I care?
Experts opinion: "Chaz Bono --ONLY 4 YEARS TO LIVE."
Prediction #2: Chasity Bono will still be a women in 4 years.
Wow,you guys are really mean. I read his book and he has had life long health problems that were not made public. He had to have a hysterectomy in his twenties. Who knows how much if any truth there is in the story. It's the Enquirer,there may be an element of truth or none at all. He is the child of two great entertainers,that is something you can't change. He may have the need to express himself. If he is ill, I would expect that need would be greater and I would expect he may not want to die in what he feels is the wrong body. It appeared on DWTS that people were more accepting of him as a overweight man than they were ever of him as the lesbian daughter of Sonny and Cher. Guess I was wrong. I feel sorry for him regardless.
What will the coroner say....MALE or FEMALE?
It's sad to read all thi*****red towards Chaz.
The one thing I would suggest is Chaz forming a personality.
She looks overwhelmed and unsure of herself alot of the time---like a whole lot's going on in her mind and she can't quite express it all.
I know people who never really formed a personality.
It's always an awkward encounter when I see them.
But I try to be understanding.No one's perfect,afterall.
This fatass is likely to suicide her way out of the world. Only monumental self-loathing would cause her to act the way she has.
Think about it, you're a lesbian and you don't like it so you have your breasts removed and pretend to be male. Hot flash time... you're still a lesbian.
Its doubtful there could be any good outcome.
WOW I can't believe all the cruel things being written about this. He is a HUMAN BEING people and just because he had the guts to become the person he felt he was inside doesn't mean people have to be cruel. He isn't trying to act like his mother ( I love Cher) he is being who he is and trying to help others deal with the feelings they have about being trapped in a body that they don't feel is right the man has a heart people!!! Yes he went on Dancing with the Stars and I give him alot of credit and actually was upset with the way the judges treated him, they were rude and cruel and unprofessional. I thought it was cool that he went on there and he's just living his life and being happy and so don't put people down for being happy and changing their life so they can be happy. There is just way to much judging of others in this world and people seem to thrieve from being nasty and cruel. You go Chaz!!!!!
this girl is an idiot
I love all the hateful, right-wing, racist, homophobes that sit in their mommies basement and post their retarded comments on TMZ. You are all a bunch of *******rs:)
Chaz is being a bit of a hypocrite about this. In part Chaz did DWTS to promote discussion about transgender individuals in society....well health and wellness should be part of the discussion. Chaz had to undergo surgical procedures and must take hormones to maintain the outward appearance...it seems fair to discuss the ramifications of that choice and the effects it can have on a clearly overweight individual.
The first thing that HER legal team should have told her is that you can't sue someone for printing an OPINION that is estimating what will happen to HER in the future. It's not like they said SHE was going to kill HER cat or something. They just extrapolated where SHE will be in a few years. Un-alive.
I haven't read the article itself, but if it's an opinion, can they really be sued?
Chaz Bono and the National Enquirer...they both seem to belong together and this country will be better off when both are gone.

I just know that I'm not interested in viewing another WWE show and therefor don't care how it does.
I don't disagree that a lot of Raw is bad, but that's obviously not my point either.
Why? There are many reasons and it not being to my taste is very minor compared to that. One reason is the fact that Vince wastes valuable money on worthless crap like Linda's senate run, pointless movies that about 5 people end up buying and all that shit. Another is the way wrestling has become a shadow of its former self. No, not in a "fuk pg bring bak attitood era!!!!11" way, but in that it insults the fan intelligence big time. I would not want anyone to know that I have the slightest display of interest for WWE in recent times. Just imagine someone who grew up on the Attitude Era and then quit watching wrestling around that point coming into your room as you watch AJ skip around or when she was "knocked out" by a simple push from the Big Show. I, for one, would be embarrassed. Or hell, even teenagers that hung around for the Ruthless Aggression period from 2003-2007. I would NOT want them to see me watching while Smackdown shows a backstage segment of Natalya randomly farting, Hornswoggle being revealed as the anonymous GM or the Muppets appearing in unfunny childish segments on Raw.
As for me "knowing the show's quality" despite not watching... no shit. The
I stopped watching in the first place was because the quality was terrible. I have still read the results most of the time except the last two weeks and as far as I'm concerned, this shit
sucks and many people agree on that so I take their word for it. I don't have to see the segments to know that they are shit, curiosity has driven me into watching them and I've regretted that choice 9/10 times. I know better than to constantly make the same mistake over and over again. When something sucks so often, you learn to assume that the automatic conclusion will be the same when you read about it.

May started off on a good note for the Arizona Diamondbacks as they won two of their first three games. More positive news arrived today for the D'backs and their fans when Major League Baseball announced that Chris Owings was named National League Rookie of the Month for April. He is the first Arizona player to win this award since Wade Miley won in April 2102.
The 22-year old Owings led all rookies in hits with 28 and sported a slash line of .313/.367/.398 for the month. He also was first in doubles with five and extra-base hits with six. The shortstop was second in runs scored with seven and stolen bases with four. He has hit in six of the past seven games as the club got their record to .500 on the road winning two of three in San Diego.
The Diamondbacks have never had a Rookie of the Year Award winner. Owings could be the first by the time the 2014 season ends.

Beak Trimming Handbook for Egg Producers
Best Practice for Minimising Cannibalism in Poultry
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe Beak Trimming Handbook for Egg Producers is a straightforward, practical guide to beak trimming of egg-laying hens to minimise cannibalism. It provides comprehensive information on why birds peck and how pecking can lead to problems like cannibalism; the methods available to beak trim birds; why a particular method should be chosen; and at what age birds may be trimmed. The book addresses quality control of beak trimming, enabling egg producers to be confident that equipment is properly set up, that birds are handled and trimmed according to best practice and farm biosecurity is maintained. Management of birds following beak trimming, to protect of the welfare of the birds and to ensure maximum productivity, is covered in detail. Best-practice, current methods of beak trimming, costs of trimming and ways to reduce the use of trimming are examined, along with expected future developments. The advantages and disadvantages of beak trimming are fully explored, covering both public and industry attitudes to the operation. Alternatives to beak trimming are canvassed to understand how the use of fitted devices, enrichment devices, abrasives, low lighting and the choice of low-pecking strains of birds can reduce the need for beak trimming. Finally, the book discusses strategies for minimising cannibalism and how the chosen strategy may be documented and justified. Please note that this book is spiral-bound. less

Eastern river cooters are found in Eastern and South Eastern part of the United States. Their scientific term is 'pseudemys concinna' and they are primarily river turtles. But, they can also be spotted in saltwater areas near the mouths of rivers. The preferred locations are rivers with moderate currents, plenty of aquatic plant life and rocky bottoms. Swamps, deep springs, ponds, lakes are also some of the water bodies where they may be found.
Eastern river cooters can grow in length of up to 12 inches. Males have long toenails on the forelimbs and females are typically bigger and more domed than their male counterparts. The head and neck are marked with thin, yellow stripes and their olive or brown shell is distinguished by lighter markings.
The second costal scute of the shell has a faint 'c' shaped marking which may be difficult to spot when the shell is dry. Concentric rings on the carapace are usually well-developed. These markings may fade with age.
The mating season for eastern river cooters is normally spring. The mating game starts with the male pursuing the female. If the female wants to give in to the male's advances, she will sink to the bottom and allow the male to mount her. If she is not receptive, the female will try to out swim the male or go under any object to displace him.
The usual nesting period is from late May to June but, instances of clutches coming out as late as July are not uncommon. Eastern river cooters like their nests to be not much further than 30 meters from water and they prefer their nests on sandy or loam soils. They dig the nesting cavities by their hind feet. The color of the eggs of these cooters varies from pink to white and the eggs themselves are ellipsoidal in shape. The clutch size is usually about 20 eggs. The color of shells of the hatchlings is green with the markings being more prominent than those on the adults.
Eastern river cooters remain active throughout the year in places like Florida and the lower Gulf Coastal Plain streams. In their other areas, they are active from April to October. This species is primarily herbivorous although animal food is also consumed. Eelgrass and algae are the preferred plant choices and amongst animal foods, crayfish, tadpoles, snails and many small insects are eaten. Turtle grass is largely eaten by the salt water species of the cooters. Cooters mainly like to hunt for food in the early morning or late afternoon. They enjoy basking in the sun in between their forages.
Although not endangered, the number of river cooters has drastically gone down due to nest and hatchling predation and detrimental human activities. River cooters are eaten as food by humans, they are crushed by automobiles and are being driven from their natural habitats by pollution.

Product Details
Publishers Description
UCCDraw is an ActiveX Component that enables you to build Visio-style charts from within your application.
Figure 1:Allows you to create flow charts, vector drawings, raster images and more with the ability to include hyperlinks and various shading and coloring effects. You can group objects together, include images and text, link them together and apply custom drawing effects to create charts similar to Microsoft Visio, Adobe Illustrator, and CorelDRAW.
Figure 2:By purchasing the product you receive the component plus full source code which you are licensed to modify and thus customize according to your needs.
At the developer's discretion, a powerful range of end-user editing capabilities can be enabled.
The full source to UCCDraw will be included in the XD++ MFC graphics product.
Figure 3:In addition to extending the functionality of XD++ MFC Class Library, UCCDraw ActiveX Control also acts as a layer of abstraction for the Windows GDI. This layer shields you from low-level GDI details so you can concentrate on creating an application design. Because the UCCDraw ActiveX Control extend XD++ MFC Class Library, you can seamlessly integrate UCCDraw ActiveX Control into your Visual Basic programs, Visual C++ programs, browsers, and anywhere an ActiveX control is allowed.. However, this does not preclude you from customizing the behavior of any of the UCCDraw ActiveX Control.
Figure 4:UCCDraw ActiveX Control enhance the XD++ MFC classes that thinly encapsulate the Windows GDI API by supporting interactive graphics that support high-level drawing actions such as alignment , copying, or sizing objects.
You can develop any application that includes a drawing surface and interaction with graphical objects quickly and effectively using UCCDraw ActiveX Control.

Readers may also be interested in a similar paper that we published in
2000. It appeared at the DARPA DISCEX conference
<http://schafercorp-ballston.com/discex/> , and again as an invited talk
at the SANS 2000 conference <http://www.sans.org/sans2000/sans2000.htm>
. You can read the paper here <http://immunix.org/StackGuard/discex00.pdf>
The similarities are substantial: we also categorized the attack space
(kinds of buffer overflows), surveyed the defenses, and considered
optimal combinations of defenses to get good coverage at reasonable
cost. Differences:
* Our survey was much broader. We covered:
* Non-executable buffers (i.e. Solar Designer's non-executable
stack patch, and a similar feature in Solaris)
* Array bunds checking (Compaq's ccc compiler, and the bounds
checking GCC built by Jones & Kelly and maintained by Herman
ten Brugge, Purify, and type safe languages such as Java)
* Code pointer integrity checking (StackGuard, and the
hand-coded stack introspection that Snarskii built into
FreeBSD's libc)
* We did not cover:
* libsafe: it did not exist at the time
* grsecurity: it is just a derivative of Solar Designer's work
* PAX: it did not exist at the time
* Prelude: I don't understand how a general purpose host
* Stack Shield: it is just a weak immitation of StackGuard,
with no advantages, and substantial disadvantages
* We came to a somewhat similar conclusion: that a combination of
tools was the ideal defense. However, our preferred combo was
StackGuard + Solar Designer's non-executable stack patch, which is
what we actually ship in Immunix.
* StackGuard offers the best resistance to "stack smashing"
* Non-executable stack segments offer substantial resistance
to code injection (payload)
* The two techniques are transparently compatible, and the
combined performance overhead is nearly zero
* As above, we did not consider PAX, but we would still not recomend
it for most applications: the 10% macrobenchmark performance hit
is pretty high.
* We are mystified why Vincent et al recomend Stack Shield instead
of StackGuard: Stack Shield offers no advantages (it is not more
secure and it is not faster) and is much more problematic to deploy.
* Libsafe vs. StackGuard or Stack Shield is a true decision: Libsafe
is incompatible with compiler techniques that munge the call stack
(and incompatible with -fno-frame-pointer) so you have to choose
one or the other

Bill promotes jointness among national security agencies
Congressmen Skelton and Davis say legislation would apply the lessons learned from Goldwater-Nichols Act to more than 13 agencies to help promote collaboration and understanding of each other's roles. The bill calls for a two-year detail for each senior official to learn how other national security agencies work.

Genre: Erotic Romance, Fantasy
University professor Annie Travis has a keen intellect. Yet imbedded within her is an artist with deep desires and fantasies. Because of her Southern upbringing and Rubenesque figure, Annie self-consciously keeps her passions at bay.
The King of Diamonds, Karn, whisks Annie into his magical world. His dominance and sexual prowess let her act on her fantasies as she's made his submissive queen. But Karn's feelings are locked in the past, and Annie must choose between remaining unloved or returning home.
What a novel! I cheered for Annie and Karn as they battled with wit, words and glorious sex. While I admit I was a little apprehensive with Annie's submissiveness, this disappeared as I was drawn deeper into the well-plotted novel. (dl $5.95)
EDITORS' NOTE: This review is for the original publication of this title, King of Diamonds by Cheyenne McCray, published by Ellora's Cave in March 2004. The novel has since been re-released by St. Martin's.

Registration for the 2013 Coast Guard Remember, a series of events to honor fallen Coast Guard members across the country, is now open. The majority of activities will take place the weekend of May 18 and 19.
A Coast Guard small boat crew from South Padre Island, Texas will be honored for heroism in the line of duty at the Coast Guard Foundation's 20th Annual Tribute to the 8th District on Friday, March 1 in New Orleans.
On the night of October 11, 2012, the crew of the 33-foot special law enforcement boat was patrolling the international maritime border off of South Padre Island, Texas when they spotted a Mexican vessel illegally fishing in U.S. waters. In addition to being harmful to the maritime environment, these vessels are often used for smuggling drugs and other contraband.
The Coast Guard Foundation is hosting an overnight sailboat race on April 27-28. The Coast Guard Foundation Cup, managed by the Annapolis Yacht Club (AYC), will start and finish outside of Annapolis Harbor. All sponsorship proceeds benefit the Foundation and its support of the men and women of the Coast Guard and their families.
At a reception on January 23, 2013 at Coast Guard Headquarters, Coast Guard Foundation staff member Patricia Gross was honored with a Coast Guard Distinguished Public Service Award by Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Bob Papp.
The Coast Guard Foundation is proud to announce that Brian Overcast, of St. Petersburg, Florida, has joined our team to manage fundraising efforts and work with donors and prospects throughout the Southeastern United States. In his role, he will seek to broaden the reach of the Foundation in Florida, and throughout the region, through his engagement with individuals, corporations and foundations.
The Coast Guard Foundation is proud to announce that we have received a $25,000 grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation's Public Safety and Security Institute. A charitable arm of Motorola Solutions Inc., the Motorola Solutions Foundation's Public Safety Grants aim to support safety education and training programs for first responders, their families and the general public in the United States and Canada. Through the grant, we will support our scholarship program that currently helps 80 children of enlisted United States Coast Guard personnel attend college each year.
It's with great sadness we report that Mr. John K. Irish passed away at his home on Tuesday, November 27.
John was a driving force behind the Coast Guard Foundation in its early years and served us well during our transition from the Coast Guard Academy Foundation to the Coast Guard Foundation. He was also a champion of our event recognition program, most notably the annual Coast Guard Foundation Salute to the Coast Guard in New York City.
Former Coast Guard Foundation Chairman Ross E. Roeder is one of six recipients of the 2012 Spirt of Hope Award. Mr. Roeder was nominated by the Coast Guard for his work as leader of the Board of Directors. Each branch of the armed services nominates someone for the award, which recognizes volunteer efforts for military. The Spirit of Hope honor is named after comedian Bob Hope, who dedicated countless hours to the men and women of the armed services through his work with the USO.
The Coast Guard Foundation's 32nd Annual Salute to the United States Coast Guard on Thursday, October 11, 2012 in New York City honored Coast Guard heroes from Air Station Kodiak, Alaska for its participation in two daring rescues on a single night in January. Nine-time Emmy winner Al Roker served as the evening's MC. Additional honored guests for the evening included: the American Bureau of Shipping, The Weather Channel and New York City Police Commissioner and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Ray and Veronica Kelly. Click here to see a photo gallery from the evening.
The Coast Guard Foundation hosted its Inaugural Texas Reception Wednesday, September 19 in Houston, raising important awareness for our mission in the Gulf Coast region, as well as providing support for two Marine Safety Units: a beach volleyball court at Texas City and softball equipment in Port Arthur, Texas.

Memories is a set of three anime episodes adapted from three of Katsuhiro Otomo's manga short stories. Katsuhiro Otomo produced the film, but each of the episodes was directed, scripted, and had music composed by a different team, giving each episode a different style. It was released in Japan on December 23, 1995.The three episodes are:Magnetic Rose, directed by Koji Morimoto, scripted by Satoshi Kon, with music by Yoko Kanno. It's set in space, where a presumably abandoned space station gives out a distress signal. Two men from a spaceship go to investigate, and find much more than they bargained for. It doesn't end well.Stink Bomb, directed by Tensai Okamura, scripted by Katsuhiro Otomo, with music by Jun Miyake. A Black Comedy featuring a worker from a bioresearch facility, a weapon of mass destruction, and a lot of chaos.Cannon Fodder, directed and scripted by Katsuhiro Otomo, with music by Hiroyuki Nagashima. Uses a unique animation style to give the illusion of being filmed in one long take. The story centers on the residents of a city of cannons that is forever at war.Has an upcoming Spiritual Successor in Short Peace, also produced by Otomo.

Bryan Singer talked at great length with Empire Magazine about the new X-Men movie and how he is planning on bringing all of the X Franchises together.
"It's epic. I don't think people realize how big this movie's going to be. We get to bring both casts together. We've cracked it in a way that it makes sense. I had a two-hour conversation with James Cameron about time travel, string theory, multiverses and all that. You have to create your rules and stick wtih them. That's why Terminator and Back To The Future work so well. And there are certain mechanisms in X-Men, certain powers, perceptions and characters, that make this possible."
He also talks about finding a balance between staying faithful to the source material and creating a film of this magnitude.
"It has a lot of aspects of the comic. The actual comic of Days Of Future Past had a whole ton of stuff going on, so it�s like any of these things; you have to distill it. But I think the fans will be pleased that some of the most exciting parts of Days Of Future Past are going to be connected to this movie."
Bryan Singer also answers some of the fans main concern about which films are canon, and which he will dismiss. Spoiler Alert, he is taking into account the events of X-Men The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Both films were deeply criticized by fans and movie critics alike.
"I�m taking into account every movie � I�m not just grabbing my first two movies and First Class and smashing them together. I�m taking into account the entire universe as it�s been laid out so far on the screen, and really respecting it and trying to work with that.
People took things in various directions, so there�s some clean-up. But ultimately I�m not just ignoring them either.
As a die hard fan boy of the Phoenix Saga, I hope that the cleanup he speaks of is in relationship to Ratner's interpretation of it in The Last Stand. And that we can see a true representation of it on the big screen again. After all, they rebooted Spiderman in 5 years!
Anyway, according to the director, if you want to get the latest info, stick to twitter, that's how he has been communicating about the movie and doesn't intend to stop using it. But of course we hope you follow us here or on Facebook to get the latest!
"I�ll be using Twitter as an avenue. I think Twitter is an amazing thing. Very often something gets out there in the rumour-sphere, and people start building up an impression of something that might not be right. So what I want to do is just little by little drop out whatever information is official."
X-Men Days of Future Past is expected to be released on July 18, 2014.

My dad literally just picked a fight with me and refused to own up to it when I pointed it out. He just stuck his goddamn headphones in his ears.
Seriously? Which one of us is the parent here?
So this happened and I have no idea how…. thank goodness my mother is amazing and bought me a little glasses repair kit with extra screws

(ED: I'd forgotten that Creative Tuesday doesn't allow photography as one of it's artistic mediums so I'll just have to participate in their next theme; you can still enjoy my efforts....) I've missed a couple weeks but upon my return the theme is "fall" and that's perfect because I have all these fall color photos I took in Vermont!
Since I haven't had time to get out my collage stuff or paintbrushes, I decided to digitize fall! This is my photo taken outside Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory - yes, even in the midst of ice cream overload I was aware of the beauty around me!. I added two textures from Jerry at Skeletal Mess and also a couple of PSE artistic filters - posterize edges, paint daubs, and fresco. I played with the opacity etc and came up with this interpretation. The original photo below.....
I don't know that it's improved - it's just different. I like the vignetted corners and the painterly quality that the fresco and poster edges give the leaves. You can see those details better by clicking to enlarge the pictures.
Be sure to visit Creative Tuesday to see more fall goodies!

Michael Lohan got a special delivery while he was rotting away in a Tampa jail yesterday -- dude got served with new legal papers from his ex-wife Dina ... who's demanding $11k in unpaid child support.
We thought the kids were all in their 30s by now ... apparently not.
Seems like Dina Lohan is not getting any takers on her so called book. She's been saying the same old crap for 7 years.
Michael Lohan doesn't work, he gets his money from talking about his daughter Lindsay. Dina doesn't work. Michael Jr manages a band but still lives at home, Ali is starting to work and Cody is 15.
At 25 it looks like Lindsay is still supporting this family one way or another.
Dina is such a great mother, she was right there wither daughter when she posed nude for playboy, she collects all the royalties, she makes sure Ali doesn't eat anything but. Tic tac so she can model, and when the work week is done she "allegedly" makes out with her daughter and does a couple of lines and a few shots at the local bar, life must be hard for a momager,
So he's been paying for Ali, who's been living with Lindsay for the last year. I'm sure Dina is not giving Lindsay a cent for Ali...Why should Michael have to pay for Ali, when Dina's just keeping the money herself?
If lindsay didnt get this BS photo shoot,and make some loot..then Dina would have resorted to plan B..throw lindsay under the Bus,with a tell all book...
while lindsay is on vacation at lynwood..and money is tight..Dina is going to sell out on lindsay again...
xmas is coming...wonder if the lohan clan give each other a stocking full of lawsuits and restraining orders?
Does a team of lawyers slide down the chimney baring settlements...I already know what the snow man is built out of.
Dina spends a lot of money to have doors slammed in her face.
Fake photo shoots cost bank...
Dina is hording Money while Lindsay looks and dresses homeless.
This is why Lindsay is an addict. She needs to "work to support her family." Her ******* parents should work to support themselves & their own kids - ESPECIALLY Dina. I can't help but feel bad for Lindsay. It must be stressful to start supporting a family in your early teens...
It doesn't matter how old the kids are NOW. Unpaid child support is unpaid child support. He still owes it!
I dont get or want child support and I could use the extra money. It is just not worth it. That much money would make a huge difference to me, but is just a shopping trip to Dina. I think this is more about getting "press" and power trip than the money. This is like a slap in the face to the rest of us single mom's who actually work hard and take care of our children. Will she even spend the money on Ali and Cody? SMH
With pathetic parents like these is anyone all that surprised that Lindsay has turned out the is way she has? C'mon, really!
For your amusement only and sung to the "Flinstones" theme song.
Lohans! Meet the Lohans!
They're your modern day messed up family.
From the state of New York,
They like to lay down some misery.
Let's ride with the family down the street.
To every (Pick one or all) crackhouse
jewelry store
that they see.
When you're with the Lohans,
you'll have a doo time
a yabadoo time
You'll have a gay ol' time!!!
she will try to get money from everyone . first lindsay now michael. next she will be taking money off ali and any kids that work. the woman is money hungry. michael is no better living off lindsays fame.what a defunctional family. they make the osbournes esp ozzy osbourne seem more normal then they will ever be. that is not saying much.
I see a GREAT reality show concept. We can call it 'Saving the Lohan's', or some cheesy title like that. The entire Lohan family undergoes therapy and and rehabilitation. And WE watch it unfold on...oh wait. It's almost like what we have already, but in the show there is either a happy ending OR we agree to stop talking about them in the media forever!
Somehow I wouldn't assume Dina is a reliable source for the actual amount. She must be getting nervous - before long, she'll be down to just one kid co-produced by Milo under the age of 18 at home. Whatever will she do?

Hands-on with Breguet's Thinnest Ever Tourbillon…
On June 26, 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet patented the Tourbillon, changing watchmaking forever. As a testament to the complexity of his invention, Breguet sold only 35 timepieces in his lifetime. Just recently, Breguet's third ever tourbillon, the No. 1176, sold for almost $1 million (purchased by Breguet, for its archives). Over two centuries later, the Breguet watch brand carries on A.L. Breguet's legacy by producing 32 different tourbillon models, more than any other watch brand.
To mark today's anniversary of the heralded tourbillon, I thought we should take a look at one of Breguet's more recent tourbillon models, the 5377. The 5377 is in fact Breguet's thinnest tourbillon watch ever produced, a mere 7mm thin. The 5377BR in gold case was introduced in 2013; a platinum reference, the 5377PT, debuted this year.
What was until now essentially an unknown dive watch made by Breguet in the 1960s, a rare Breguet Ref 1646, has been discovered. The authenticity of the watch initially unknown, an inquiry directly to Montres Breguet revelaed the No. 1646 was indeed authentic, and furthermore, was just one of 60 pieces made. What a find! In today's highly canvassed vintage watch market, we don't often see stories like this. The remarkable story of this Breguet No. 1646 dive watch, with lots of pictures, can be read at Passion Horloger>>>
source: Passion Horlogere via DiveIntoWatches
The Breguet No. 1176 Regulator Four Minute Tourbillon Pocketwatch — Abraham-Louis Breguet's first four-minute tourbillon — was sold today by Christie's for $929,548 (821,000 Swiss Francs). It was purchased by Mark Hayek (President & CEO of Montres Breguet), which is not surprising — Breguet is known for scooping up pieces of historical importance such as this Four Minute Tourbillon. This is about dab smack in the middle of the forecast price range, so all in all not too bad for the Breguet collection. Please see my original report (April 24) for high-res images of the watch and detailed background information.
(821,000 Swiss Francs)
Purchased by: Mark Hayek (President & CEO of Montres Breguet), which is not surprising — Breguet is known for scooping up pieces of historical importance, this Four Minute Tourbillon being just one such example!
Offered at the upcoming Christie's Important Watches Including Property from an Important European Collection, this Breguet No. 1176 pocketwatch circa 1809 is Abraham-Louis Breguet's very first four minute tourbillon and only his third tourbillon watch ever made. As a Breguet aficionado whose blog was directly inspired by Breguet (his perpetuelles!), I am excited to see this piece — with its well-documented provenance and noble lineage — come to market. It is undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of Breguet's work to appear in public in recent years and will likely fetch more than the high-end estimate of $1,133,694 (it first sold to a Polish nobleman in 1809 for 4,600 Francs).
Below I'll touch upon some of the highlights that I gleaned from Christie's lot notes; I'll also provide the official link for those of you who would care to partake in more of the details of this piece.

Can profit maximization alone be the objective of MNCs to cope up with the backlash against globalization?
Asked by Good Citizen, 10 Jun '10 03:43 pm
Earn 10 points for answering
Answers (2)
Why people of of the world's underdeveloped and developing economies are against globalization, euphemestically called opening up of economy or liberlisation of economy? Once the market is thrown up for invasion by the technologically superior manufacturing houses of the Europe , US and the Asia (japan, south korea ), the local manufcturing industries have just one option, either enter into techinical tie ups with some foreign companies for upgradation of technology or just close down. The globalization of our econmy has seen the closure o a large number of small manufacturing units and the employees left out with out a livelihood. thefarmers already burdened with the high cost of farm imputs have to compete with agriculturl produce imported from countries where the entire agricultural operations are automated.. So far as the MNCs are concerned , they have eye of profit maximization alone. Though they have social obligations to discharge, none cares for it.Answered by thampy chacko, 10 Jun '10 04:02 pm

Kim Kardashian Invites Fan To Sit With Her At Kanye West Concert
Kim Kardashian had been attending her fiancé Kanye West's concert in New Orlean's last Thursday when she invited an enthusiastic fan to come sit with her.
Kim Kardashian Sits With Fan At Kanye Concert
The Kimye fan, Myleeza, had taken to Twitter to get Kardashian's attention, knowing the reality TV star was likely in the venue. Her friends encouraged her to keep trying, and soon enough Kardashian replied, offering to have her brought over to where she was seated.

Myleeza shared on Twitter that backstage with Kimye, she and her friend Sarah fawned over the pair, calling them the "couple of the universe" and declaring that Kardashian should get her star on the Hollwood Walk of Fame.
"We talked for a while longer, and Kim said, 'Bye Myleeza! Thank you guy so much coming!'" wrote Myleeza, adding that she and her new BFF exchanged 'I love yous "BEST MOMENT OF ALL MY 19 YEARS OF LIVING."

A tough Wyoming cowboy who just happens to like blouses
Sissy Goodwin isn't gay; he's been married for 45 years and has two adult children. As a young man, he was a rodeo cowboy who rode bulls bareback, a free spirit who never shied away from a fistfight. The former aircraft mechanic loves to drink beer, play golf, throw steaks on the grill.
What sets him apart, he says, is what he calls gender independence: He just likes to do most things in a dress.
A resilient guy living it out in Wyoming, a state he refers to as "the Mississippi of the West" for its disposition toward him, Goodwin has been beaten, arrested and glared at for years - but he continues his defiant dressing habits to this day.

Genomics moves rapidly. Not long after the first human genome was sequenced in 2003 at a cost of $3 billion, the biotech industry set its sights on the $1,000 genome mark. Realizing this vision has been a primary goal of the sequencing community for nearly a decade, and now it seems that the $1,000 genome Read more…
