Essential for making chocolate

This cacao butter smells divine! I use it to make my own chocolate. The fact that it melts at about body temperature enables you to make your very own raw, organic chocolate using this butter along with the cacao powder from Navitas Naturals, vanilla, and a sweetener, like raw honey or agave. Later I will try to mix a little of this cacao butter into jojoba oil or avocado oil and use it as body butter. I have a cacao butter lip balm, and that's very good on sore, chapped lips.
Wow, great mixed with coconut oil!

I cut off a hunk and grated it with my cheese grater, then mixed that with an equal amount of coconut oil. Stirred it up and it is a gorgeous, smooth, white chocolate smelling lotion. Very silk like, compared to using coconut oil as a lotion alone. I will mix these from now on. Also, kept me soft and without itching for the entire day! Great on my face too, didn't break it out. I'm going to buy some coffee essential oil to add to it so I smell like a Mocha Coffee!

Just the smell of this is amazing; the taste is scrumptious! Perfect for making homemade chocolate. Actually, for homemade chocolate, I usually use this, carob powder, alcohol free vanilla, chocolate flavored stevia, and xylitol. Delicious!
Please, bring back this great cacao butter =)

This cacao butter smell like a huge bar of chocolate, it smells sweet, vanilla kind of, it has all aroma notes for chocolate needed, so you can melt it, adding a bit of some natural sweetener, some agava syrup, coconut sap syrup, mesquite powder. If you want brown chocolate, just add some high quality Navitas cacao powder and here you go. You can add some nuts, seeds, dried fruits , even spices to have more creative taste and look for your own made chocolate.
Great price and great quality:)

"GL1100 Interstate model, the first ever mass produced Japanese motorcycle to roll off the production line fully fitted as a proper touring motorcycle.."
Previously we discussed what is a motorcycle. We then broke them into 7 basic categories which included Touring, Cruiser, Sport, Standard, Dual Sport, Off-Road and Scooters. Today we will focus on the Touring class of motorcycles and the 2012 Honda Goldwing in particular since for decades the Goldwing set the standard for all other touring motorcycles to follow.
In 1980 Honda released their GL1100 Interstate model, the first ever mass produced Japanese motorcycle to roll off the production line fully fitted as a proper touring motorcycle. Even back then the Goldwing was fitted with accessories both standard and after-market that no other brand could compete with. In the decades that followed their commitment to innovation has made it renowned as the ultimate touring motorcycle, a title that the Goldwing has held more or less unchallenged ever since. Every major motorcycle manufacturer has full dress touring bikes to choose from not to mention Harley-Davidson and their near limitless number of available 'baggers' but the Gold Wing has been setting the standard since day one.
"Like all motorcycles touring bikes do more than fill a highly specialized niche."
Touring motorcycles often mean different things to different people. Since their inception people have used them for a variety of purposes. While many riders enjoy taking long distance cross country trips on their touring bikes others never leave the city, preferring to use the the immense storage capacity of the touring motorcycles to make trips to the store or just to carry all of their riding gear.
The large amounts of storage really sets the touring class of motorcycles apart from the rest. Combined with the full front fairings and windshields, hard bags and large displacement motors they truly are the Cadillac of the 2 wheel world. Smooth and powerful, todays selection of touring bikes are so well balanced they can be deceptively nimble and easy to ride despite their size and weight. In addition to the highly advanced level of engineering modern touring bikes have almost all of the comforts of home. Integrated stereo systems, GPS navigation, cruise control, accent lighting and even heated grips and seats. Many riders even incorporate helmet to helmet communication systems so the riders and passengers can talk to each other as they cruise down the highway.
Like all motorcycles touring bikes do more than fill a highly specialized niche. With versatility and power supplemented by endless options and accessories they really have a lot more functionality than just long distance traveling. With all the choices these days you can trust the Honda Gold Wing to lead the pack in innovation, design, and function.
In the coming weeks I will discuss the other categories of motorcycles, giving a brief history, more detailed description and popular examples of each.

TechED 2014 Sessions
I love TechED. The energy from the keynotes and expo simply isn't matched by any of the other conferences I attend on a regular or irregular basis. I also love the diversity of sessions and people I will meet throughout the entire conference. I will be going back this year for the fourth time in five years. I have two sessions at TechED that I'll be presenting on. Like last year, I will be presenting one session on SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse and another focusing on HDInsight. If you are curious about whether or not you want to attend, check out my session on SQL Server 2012 PDW from last years TechED. If you can't attend one of my sessions below, please stop by the Microsoft section of the Expo and we can talk Big Data and SQL Server PDW there.
The final reason I love TechEd is the variety of session and discussion I can have. From Cloud OS, SQL Server, System Center, Virtualization, Windows Server, .NET, Visual Studio…I can hit them all in a week and really round out my understanding of the entire ecosystem. Anyway, below you can get an idea of what my two sessions will be on and I look forward to meeting you there.
DBI-B329 The Role of Polybase in the Modern Data Warehouse
Tuesday, May 13 5:00 PM – 6:15 PM
We have all heard about the Polybase feature of the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Parallel Data Warehouse, but what are the use cases for this technology? In this session we explore and demonstrate specific use cases for implementing Polybase into your Modern Data Warehouse solution. Specifically, we examine how Polybase can help you: streamline your ETL process by using Hadoop as the staging area of the backroom; export to your Hadoop environment your Enterprise Data Warehouse conformed dimensions; use Hadoop as a low cost, online data archive; and enrich your relational data with ambient data resident in Hadoop.
DBI-B328 From Zero to Data Insights Using HDInsight on Windows Azure
Wednesday, May 14 3:15 PM – 4:30 PM
Windows Azure HDInsight enables you to embrace Hadoop with seamless management of any type or size of data. The Microsoft Big Data and BI platforms enable data enrichment through discovery and advanced analytics so all users can easily gain and act on insights from all of their data, structured or unstructured, via familiar tools such as Microsoft Excel and the Power Suite. We walk through an end-to-end story, showcasing an example that includes how to provision a Hadoop cluster on Windows Azure in minutes, load data to the persistent Azure blob store, cleanse data with Pig, add structure with Hive, orchestrate workflows with Oozie, and gain insights via Excel.
Book: Microsoft Big Data Solutions
I was lucky enough to be included as part of the author team for Microsoft Big Data Solutions from Wiley Press. I would like to thank Adam Jorgensen (@AJbigdata) for including me. Other members of the writing team included James Rowland-Jones (@jrowlandjones), John Welch (@john_welch), Dan Clark, and Chris Price (@BluewaterSQL). This was a labor of love for all involved as it explores Big Data through the Microsoft Solution stack specifically either with HDInsight or with their partner Hortenworks distribution of Hadoop known as Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). If you are interested in getting started with Big Data and Hadoop and come from a background of using the Microsoft Data Platform, then this book is a good place to get started.
The Book in Parts:
Part I: What is Big Data
Part II: Setting Up Your First Big Data Environment
Part III: Storing and Managing Big Data
Part IV: Working with Your Big Data
Part V: Big Data and SQL Server Together
You can find more details about Microsoft Big Data Solutions from Wiley here: http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118729080.html

Monitoring HDP with System Center
One of the things I am most proud of was getting System Center Operations Manager set up and configured to monitor an HDP cluster. For those companies that use System Center, being able to monitor your Hadoop solution with SCOM is a game changer when it comes to integrating Hadoop into your existing monitoring and alerting solutions. I know I had to be one of the first to get this configured and provide documentation on the process as I literally picked up the bits the week they were available. I'm looking forward to any feedback anyone has on the process.
Final Thoughts
So my wife asked me once it was complete whether or not I would ever do another book. Halfway through the process, I would have said no. This was the first time I had ever been part of a team writing a book and I was not very good at it at all. I'm sure my editors would agree. But towards the end, I started getting a feel that writing a book is like eating an elephant. You have to do it one bit at a time and do a couple pages a day, about 5 days a week. If you do that, you can keep up and even get ahead depending on your schedule. So yes, if I'm lucky enough to be asked to join another team, I'll happily do it and hopefully do it with much less stress.
PASS Business Analytics Conference 2014
Last year the Professional Association of SQL Server (PASS) tried something new with the Business Analytics Conference. I was lucky enough to attend and I thought it was a hit. There was a diverse set of sessions ranging from traditional Microsoft BI to where open source solutions such as R can fit in an organization. Also, the keynotes where some of the best I've seen in years with Ariel Netz rocking PowerBI presentations and Stephen Levitt absolutely killing it with his take on analytics. I'm expecting the PASS BA Conference of 2014 to be even better. If you haven't registered and would like to spend some time in Northern California in May, register here.
I'm very excited about presenting at the PASS Business Analytics conference with one of my teammates from the Big Data Center of Expertise – Tammy Richter Jones. Our session will focus on The Role of PDW (AU1) & Polybase in the Modern Data Warehouse. If you are interested in PDW and are wondering what Microsoft's story is for integrating it into the larger ecosystem of Big Data and a Modern Data Warehouse, I suggest you attend our session. This session is something we've been working on for a while and we know you will come away from the session not only informed about the technicalities of how SQL Server PDW works but also be better prepared to utilize all of its new features in your environment.
The Abstract:
In this session, we'll introduce and discuss the architecture of SQL Server 2012 Parallel Data Warehouse and the new Appliance Update 1. Specifically, we'll dig into Transparent Data Encryption, Integrated Authentication, the new HDInsight Region, and functionality for adding capacity to an appliance. We'll also discuss Polybase in depth. This session will not only discuss the technical details of the new features, but also the use cases for this technology, by examining how Polybase can help you:
• Streamline your ETL process by using Hadoop as the staging area of the backroom
• Export to your Hadoop environment your Enterprise Data Warehouse conformed dimensions
• Use Hadoop as a low cost, online data archive
• Enrich your relational data with ambient data resident in Hadoop
SQL Server Data Tools Updated for PDW
The January 2014 SQL Server Data Tools update has some specific PDW updates to it to make it SQL Server 2012 PDW Appliance Update 1 (AU1) aware. AU1 is coming in the near future and you should update your tools to be ready for it. You can go ahead and update now as this update will make SSDT PDW version aware and you will get a different experience depending on whether or not you are on AU1 or not. I've updated my SSDT and connected just fine to my previous AU 0.5 appliance and I'm looking forward to checking out the differences once I have access to a AU1 appliance.
Windows Azure HDInsight Thoughts
It's been a bit over a week since the general availability of HDInsight Service. I've been kicking the tires and thought I would share some thoughts. Right off the bat I can tell you that PowerShell integration with HDInsight is going to be a huge hit! The ease of use and the responsiveness of the PowerShell environment is absolutely awesome.
What is HDInsight?
HDInsight is the 100% Apache compatible Hadoop version that runs on Microsoft technology in Windows Azure.
Why use HDInsight Service?
First and foremost, there is a deep integration between the Microsoft BI tools that your users are already used to and HDInsight Service. Second, the PowerShell extensibility makes creating, managing, and shutting down a HDInsight Service cluster so easy a caveman can do it. Third, the development experience with HDInsight means that your developers can reuse their existing .NET skill set in addition to using Java.
Microsoft BI Integration
Need to do some post map-reduce mashing up of your data? Bring it into Microsoft Excel with Power Query (ETL for the BI Masses). In two steps, you'll be choosing the data from HDInsight that you want to bring into excel. This just works.
Here are the instructions on connecting Excel to Windows Azure HDInsight with Power Query.
PowerShell Management
After you install and configure PowerShell for HDInsight, you can manage your Windows Azure HDInsight environment from your desktop. This means that you can configure an HDInsight cluster, submit Hive and Pig queries, and extract the data to your BI environment all from the comfort of your corporate environment. This means that you can use the tools you use today to manage schedules and handle your operations. The PowerShell toolset surprised me with its ease of use. Here is an example of configuring a cluster.
Awesome feedback in PowerShell about the state of your commands:
Richer Development Experience
Want to have more control over your environment and use Visual Studio at the same time? Check out this tutorial Submit Hive Jobs using HDInsight .NET SDK. Below is a snippet of what I have going on in my VS environment with a MapReduce Job being submitted. I'll do some additional posts about some of the pros and cons of the .NET development experience soon.

Final Fantasy XIV has weathered its share of storms, but now Square Enix is offering some new incentives for those who give it a second chance. This week, the studio rolled out patch 1.22, introducing a slew of fresh missions, items, materia, recipes, and gameplay fixes; all of which can be enjoyed for less with the recently revealed Legacy Campaign and Welcome Back Campaign promotions.
Legacy Campaign is being offered to subscribers who have been active
for at least 90 days between January 6, 2012, and the commencement of
the version 2.0 beta testing. Those that fit this criteria will be
able to secure a reduced subscription rate of $9.99 per month. They will also
receive an in-game Chocobo mount designed by FFXIV's art director and
have their name immortalized in version 2.0's
credits when it launches.
"The Legacy Campaign is our little way of saying thanks to those adventurers who have stuck by us even after billing commenced—for standing fast through rain, hail, shine, and the Seventh Umbral Era. Be sure not to miss out on this limited-time opportunity!" wrote Naoki Yoshida in his latest producer's message.
Meanwhile, the Welcome Back Campaign is geared to those who hold inactive accounts. It offers defectors a free, 10-day membership between May 9 and May 20.
There you have it: A new patch and subscription perks. Is this enough to make you interested, or are you over with Square Enix's online fantasy?

WOONSOCKET --- Woonsocket High is back in the Division II playoffs, but before the defending state champions could stamp their return ticket to the postseason on Saturday afternoon, they needed to overcome their worst half of football against a tough opponent in Mount Hope High.
Quarterback Kevin Reyes threw three touchdown passes, including a 43-yarder to Jessie Charette with 2:08 to play in the third quarter that snapped a 14-14 tie, and the NovansŌĆÖ defense ruled the entire second half in a 34-14 triumph before an energetic Homecoming Day crowd at Barry Field.
BURRILLVILLE -- Burrillville HighŌĆÖs high-scoring offense has received plenty of credit for the teamŌĆÖs strong run in the Division III ranks this season, but on Saturday morning, it was the BroncosŌĆÖ defense that led the way to a very impressive Homecoming Day victory over Narragansett High.
The BroncosŌĆÖ ŌĆśDŌĆÖ forced five turnovers and limited the Mariners to 145 yards of offense en route to a 33-0 shutout before a big gathering at Alumni Field that moved Burrillville one win away from its first playoff berth since 2006.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Fourth-seeded Bay View repeated as Division I state champions on Saturday afternoon at Slater Park, defeating third-seeded Mount St. Charles in the finals for the second year in a row.
The Bengals won the match by a 4-1 margin. Mount led in the other two matches at the time Bay View scored its clinching point.
Police in Blackstone and Millville have finished their investigation into allegations that special needs children were physically abused by a teacher and an aide employed by the Blackstone-Millville Regional School District.
The findings in the case have been turned over to the Worcester County District Attorney's Office, which is to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges, said Tim Connolly, spokesman for District Attorney Joseph Early.
ŌĆ£No decision has been made at this point,ŌĆØ Connolly said Thursday.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō North Smithfield completed its rise from a two-win team in 2009 to the Division III state champion on Friday with a 4-3 comeback victory over Rogers.
No. 4 singles player Megan Mandeville scored the decisive team point, rallying to defeat Sydney Harris in three sets, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.
Mandeville trailed 3-0 in the third set before winning the final six games.
NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆō In a grinding, back-and-forth game that produced little offense, North Smithfield came up with just the kind of big plays it needed to make its Division IV Homecoming contest with visiting North Providence a successful one.
And after Friday nightŌĆÖs 14-6 victory over the Cougars, the Northmen are now just a single win away from securing their first playoff berth in the schoolŌĆÖs history.
ThereŌĆÖs no quarterfinals. ThereŌĆÖs no semifinals.
The postseason for the cross-country season begins today when runners statewide congregate at Ponaganset High School for their respective class meets. The following Sunday, Nov. 7, qualifying teams and individuals are back at the ChieftainsŌĆÖ ŌĆ£Covered Bridge TrailŌĆØ for the state championships.
All the league meets. All the invitationals ŌĆö in-state and beyond ŌĆö are all geared for these final two meets.

If there is no God, then all that exists is time and chance acting on matter. If this is true then the difference between your thoughts and mine correspond to the difference between shaking up a bottle of Mountain Dew and a bottle of Dr. Pepper. You simply fizz atheistically and I fizz theistically. This means that you do not hold to atheism because it is true , but rather because of a series of chemical reactions Morality, tragedy, and sorrow are equally evanescent. They are all empty sensations created by the chemical reactions of the brain, in turn created by too much pizza the night before. If there is no God, then all abstractions are chemical epiphenomena, like swamp gas over fetid water. This means that we have no reason for assigning truth and falsity to the chemical fizz we call reasoning or right and wrong to the irrational reaction we call morality. If no God, mankind is a set of bi-pedal carbon units of mostly water. And nothing else.Answered by saranathan Narasimhan, 20 Feb '13 02:44 pm

Sam Allardyce is braced for a double raid on Newcastle strike duo Obafemi Martins and Michael Owen. Manchester United are set to offer £4million plus Alan Smith for Owen, while Arsenal have already lined up a £13m bid for Martins. The pair have buy-out clauses and Toon boss Allardyce said: "Everyone knows the clause situation Oba has. That leaves us in a very poor position. If those clauses are invoked, there is nothing we can do about it. I want to plan for Owen and Martins to start the season. But at some point between now and the end of August, I might lose those types of players. That would be a massive blow." United are on red alert as Owen, 26, has yet to comment on suggestions he could invoke his £9m get-out clause.
Gordon Smart, The Sun
The Daily Mirror claims United's move for Anderson may have to be delayed for a year. The club is appealing a decision to deny the 19-year-old Brazilian a work permit. If that appeal is unsuccessful then rules forbid United from re-applying for another year.
The same paper expects United to rival Liverpool for the signature of Jermain Defoe, following Spurs' signing of Charlton striker Darren Bent.
Various tabloids tip United, Liverpool and Arsenal to renew their interest in West Ham striker Carlos Tevez. The Argentine has rejected a move to Internazionale, with his representative claiming that he wants to stay in England.

Fear about reporting e-crime
Fraud and electronic crime was burgeoning yet was too often swept under the carpet by people and companies who were too ashamed to admit they have been swindled, a report said.
In 2002 Victorians were fleeced of what has been conservatively estimated to be more than $641 million by fraudsters and electronic criminals.
Yet during a two year inquiry into the area the Victorian Parliamentary Drugs and Crime Prevention Committee found a widespread unwillingness to own up to having been a victim.
The committee's final report handed down today was accompanied by 51 recommendations largely aimed at bringing fraud and electronic crime more into the open.

01 product description
Product description
Reduction to essentials – that is the functional principle adopted for LINE. This slim coat rack with fold-out rail and three hooks is a modern classic, even in the single-colour version. Now this minimalist model has acquired fresh inspiration from the fashion world, and features colour-blocking design: the sides and fronts each have a paint finish in a different colour. From the side or as you walk past, the clever use of three colours creates a very special visual effect. There are four possible colour combinations. The coat rail and hooks are chrome plated, with either a matt or a polished finish. Each individual coat rack needs only a very small amount of space, but where a whole row of them can be installed – any length is of course possible – the result is a splendid purist highlight. Each single-colour version is available in 27 matt and 17 high-gloss paint finishes: classic primary tones, restrained, subtle pastel shades, eye-catching colours. But there's also oak with a variety of stained finishes, and walnut. This is a truly classic design that demonstrates its versatility in a once seen, never forgotten way

Thus, the Cologne hodge-podge of the diversity of homes has something for everyone, for a man of the world, a man of the masses, and for kids, too. That said, the high-end design did not live up to expectations.

There are three kinds of breakups: There's the kind where it's all one person's fault and he deserves to be drawn and quartered. There's the kind where it's completely mutual and everyone still really likes each other. And there's the kind where there's no real malice, but everything isn't all roses and sunshine either.
The third type of breakup is probably the most common, and to those of you couples who are thinking of calling it quits, that's the kind that is the biggest pain for your friends. I know, priorities, right?
Several years ago, a good friend of mine ended a relationship with a live-in boyfriend after he informed her he'd gotten involved with another woman. Actually, he ended the relationship with her, but the point is, we knew who the bad guy was. There were no torn loyalties, no confusion, no questions.
Most of the time, though, there's not really one bad guy. Both parties carry a fair amount of the blame. I'll use my last breakup, in 2000, as an example: He treated me badly, and I subsequently took up with another man behind his back. Neither of us behaved admirably. Fortunately, it was a long-distance relationship, so we really didn't have mutual friends.
Oftentimes, however, there are mutual friends, and when both parties carry some of the blame in a breakup, well, it can be hard for the people on the sidelines. An old friend called me recently to ask my advice on how to deal with juggling two friends who are going through a split.
I don't envy her position. In the past, I've been asked to perform some post-breakup mediation, either because the parties involved were members of the same social circle and would inevitably be crossing paths or because one or both of them decided that hatred was unhealthy and they needed closure. Either way, it's not a fun position to be in.
So how to handle things?
"I've been in that situation," said one friend. "I remain friends with both but hang out separately. And I try to avoid talking to one about the other."
That's definitely a viable tactic. If the split is still fresh, trying to take each person's mind off of it while you are in his or her company can be good as well. Of course, if your friend really just needs to vent/scream/cry, be a shoulder or a sounding board. However, if you actually do want to remain friends with both people, you might want to avoid actually joining in on any trashing sessions.
Sometimes, the ex-couple will find a way to avoid each other and still share custody of the mutual friends. You know, Robin gets Monday movie nights, Alex gets Thursday spin class. Eventually one person either moves on entirely, or the sting wears off and they can be in each other's presence in a group situation.
In this situation, there is often some tension, and if approached on the matter, I tend to employ the "cruel to be kind" methodology. You know: "This is why you, Thing One, are an idiot, and this is why you, Thing Two, are an idiot."
In a weird way, I find that people are able to handle things better when they are reminded that they are not blameless.
What about the rest of you? How do you navigate the waters when your friends split up?

I see many invalid points in your post as well and to start off, your solution will not lead to equality.
For starters, we are not to be compared with feminism as if MRA's are the male equivalents of feminists. The MRM is a REACTION to the feminist movement after it has become more and more obvious what the feminist movement has been doing.
We see things as the are. When we state that men are being victimized (e.g. the draft, male genital mutilation, affirmative action, the way false accusations are dealt with and the lack of father's rights) we state facts. What feminists do, is making women victims regardless of the situation (Hilary Clinton managed to call women the greatest victims of war, because 'their men' die and they stay behind). They seek to claim victimhood as much as possible to justify their existance and paychecks. It is a difference of day and night.
Do elaborate, what is the MRM actually perpetrating? It is a hollow claim without appropriate evidence.
Basically, what you get wrong, is that you believe we are one-sided and are basically feminism's male equivalent. We seek to rectify the inequality towards men that feminists have been campaigning for in their misandrous pursuit and to bring parity to men's rights with women's rights. When that happens, our job is basically done unlike what feminists have done: creating more problems so they can 'solve' them and thus justifying their existance.
What we do, is not cause for inequality as you seem to state. Infact, if the MRM's work is finished, women benefit as well and true equality will be much closer within reach. Take for instance in regard to rape, how feminist laws, policies and media basically allow for valse accusation with impunity and in the process, diminishing the credibility or genuine victims... Feminism - 'pro-women' - persecutes men including many innocent men and hurts women which the profess to 'fight for' as well. The MRM however, seeks for this issue to be adressed and that cases are investigated properly, the media can't tar brush over a suspect's name through anonimity untill conviction and for proven false accusers to be punished appropriatly instead of being given a wrist-slap. This would not rectify injustice toward men, but also towards women as well. It's just one example. I could also start about the dwindling marriage numbers, the regression of boy's/men's academic achievments and so on, which all also negatively affect women and is brought and kept in existance by yours truly: feminism.
It is ironic, how the goals of the 'one-sided' MRM actually are more beneficial to the goal of true equality. You should get the point I am trying to convey by now. You can't compare us to feminism like you have been doing untill now. Our goals are fundamentally different. The focus is on men's rights, because those are severely lacking. Asking us to also campaign for women's rights at this time in whatever form (e.g. joining with feminists), is an absurd notion because that would diminish our voice where it is needed most; it would mean dimishing the effectiveness of our work. Women's rights already have many voices, men's rights don't.
You say we brush feminism with tar. From your words, you seem to find this unfair. I argue however, that it is not unfair at all if you consider that the lion's share of the issues that are detrimental to men, are at least in part caused by feminism as a movement. It does not matter if not every single one of you is 'not like that'. What matters is that the havoc that is being wreaked, is being done so under the banner of feminism. The moderate feminist do not, as a sufficiently significant group, oppose the actions of feminism and those are just a few reasons why the moderates do not really matter.
It is very simple. We judge feminism by it's actions and those actions are severely negative. If those who are 'not like that' are bothered so much by being associated with radical, man-hating female-supremacists, then where is that significant counter-voice? Feminist are very large in numbers, so it is not unreasonable to expect a significant counter-voice in such case. Also, why do you folks insist on sticking to a label which has come to stand symbol for bigotry? If you choose to call yourself feminist, then you should not be too surprised to be treated as such. Many people, men in particular, have been hurt enormously by feminism. Can you honestly expect of them to mind the sensitivities of the 'moderate feminists'? The way people, hurt or aware of the injustices feminisms causes, view the feminist movement is not that unfair at all, even to the moderate people. As individuals it might be slightly, but you must not forget that by defending feminism or branching feminism, you provide covers for radicals and people who support the radical actions of feminism because you paint feminism as something positive to a certain degree.
A merged movement will also not work, but rather be detrimental. It has been elaborated upon in your intro thread. Many people can rightfully not get it over their hearts to join with the very people that have antagonized/are antagonizing them directly or indirectly and rightfully so. Also, when feminists get a say in men's matters, it is seen that our message gets twisted to befit feminist interests. If for instance an study is being done to find out the reason why men shy away from marriage, the conclusion would be that the laws are skewed in women's favor at men's detriment. If such a study would include a feminst's say in the matter, then the conclusion would be something like 'men are not manning up: peter pan syndrome'. Something like this has happened/is happening, but I can't recall the exact name of the project. It's something like 'the good men's project' or something like that. It is supported by feminists and it obvious by the typical feminist message that is being conveyed: it's men's fault as ussual.
It is just like a ministry for men being created to 'adress men's issues' and telling men to suck it up and to take responsibility at every turn which goes hands in hand with the rest of the feminist-dominated politics.
Ultimately, there is no need for a merge. A merge is detrimental whilst at the same time, the MRM's work will rectify many problems that will also be beneficial towards females as well and actually works towards and opens a road to a degree of equality where we can speak of treatment towards both sexes that can be considered as 'fair'.
Do realise that this is not an attack for the sake of being hostile, but rather an attempt to provide understanding through limited elaboration (otherwise I'd still be typing much longer) and pointing out flaws in your reasoning. I kindly urge you to take some time and delve into this forum. Read the available material which includes, but is not limited to articles, studies and evidence and to look at other discussions as well, as to develop understanding of our points of view and the factual situation.

WYDOT Outlines Snow Clearing Plan
Wyoming Department of Transportation officials have explained their "game plan" in the event of winter driving conditions this year. In addition to man power and plowing, WYDOT utilizes several different chemical mixtures –both before and after snow storms– and the traditional sand/salt mix to maintain safe road conditions. When snowfall can be predicted, some of these chemicals are applied to roads before the storm to help prevent snowpack from accumulating, and to assist with the removal of snow after the storm. In addition to forestall the accumulation of snow on the roads, District Engineer John Eddins says it helps with the removal of snowpack afterward. Eddins says the department's snow removal plan goes into action, creating a prioritized list of routes based on traffic counts. This plan is divided into four levels. High volume roads are plowed up to 24 hours a day and consist of interstates and principal urban routes. Medium volume routes are plowed to keep them passable and reasonably safe and are a secondary priority to high volume routes. Low volume routes are only serviced after high volume and medium volume roads have been cleared, and then, only during daylight hours. The state's snow plan is available on the WYDOT website.

Kia posts first images of KH concept on Facebook
by Chris Tutor (RSS feed) on Feb 28th, 2012 at 8:57AM
A couple of weeks ago, we shared sketches of the KH concept sedan by Kia (also called the K9 in some circles), but if you're friends with the South Korean automaker on Facebook, you got first access to images of their flagship sedan. As we reported before, Soon-Nam Lee, the company's overseas marketing director, says the car will go on sale in South Korea in the first half of this year and then in most major markets soon thereafter. It's based on the same real-wheel-drive BH platform shared by the Hyundai Genesis and Equus, and should therefore have some 5.0-liter V8 horsepower to back up... Read More

Jul 6, 2012The cool thing about Spelunky is its randomly generated levels so that you have a different experience every time you play. The platforming itself is well done and the controls are very responsive. I have yet to die and blame it on the game. But dying is so easy. One careless mistake and it's game over. You have to be constantly aware of your surroundings and plan your every move. There's also a shop in random levels. I initially liked the idea of how you could rob the shopkeeper and have him hunt you down for all future levels to come, but unfortunately this idea was executed terribly. The shopkeeper acts as though you just slaughtered his whole family and bounces around the place like an idiot firing his shotgun the second he sees you. There's also a time limit on each level, forcing you to act quickly and make hasty decisions. The graphics are very nice and the audio compliments. Lots of replay value. If you have any interest whatsoever, I highly recommend downloading the demo on XBLA, as it offers a very deep experience for a trial.… Expand
Jul 5, 2012You have to know what you're in for with this game to enjoy it. If you do, it's a masterpiece, one of the best examples of a small-but-oh-so-fun arcadey experience which is infinitely replayable and deep. Other reviewers obviously don't know what they're in for. A couple of hints: i) after the tutorial, every level is randomly generated EVERY TIME you play it. You can't learn the levels like other games: you have to be actually good at PLAYING it, it requires skill and practice to get better and learn how to deal with issues. ii) It's goddamn unforgiving. Hand in hand with point i), this game will take you apart repeatedly until you learn to do things like: avoid running under spiders, drop things in front of arrow traps, save ropes and bombs more than money, GET THE CLIMBING GLOVES AS FAST AS YOU CAN, stay the damn hell out of a yeti's armreach... And so on. It's wonderfully deep and infinitely new and fresh. GET IT AND ENJOY IT, FOLKS. (The only issues I've noted are very, very rare bugs and... That's it. It's great stuff, and I haven't even tried 4-player splitscreen co-op, which sounds incredible).… Expand
Jul 13, 2012Rad game, but I really wish you could keep your stuff when you died. The randomness is what sells the game for me. It seems like anything could pop up in the game. Easy deaths are never cheap, but make me feel like a moron.
Jun 9, 2013A 2d platformer the aim of Spelunky is simply to make it to the bottom of each stage. Of course things are not quite that simple and the game will very quickly begin to throw all manner of enemies and challenges your way. Fortunately the controls are excellent meaning deaths always feel like they're your fault rather than the fault of the game.
What will put some people off however is the level of difficulty. Much like platformers from the 8-bit era and earlier every time you die in Spelunky you have to start right from the beginning again. The fact that the levels are randomly generated each time does go some way to mitigating any frustration this may cause, particularly early on in proceedings, but many people will feel the game crosses the line from challenging into downright unfair as it progresses. Still I'd recommend to anyone to give Spelunky a try for themselves.… Expand
Jul 3, 2013The art style is amazing charming, the gameplay is tight and awesome. This is truly the kind of game I'm pretty sure I used to dream about when I was a kid playing the NES. It's different everytime, it rewards patience and caution, and when you start to make it to later levels you really get a sense that your skill has grown. The multiplayer is mayhem, and it's absolutely fun working with your friends to survive the depths!… Expand
Jul 7, 2012Spelunky is a XBLA game costing 1200MS Points, based on an Indie game that was released for PC in 2008, and consists of a 2D platform game with old-style gameplay, as we saw in 8 and 16 bit consoles. The basic game is the prerogative of an explorer, after an Aztec artifact, which has to go through various underground levels and stages, to the exit of them.
The Graphics of the game are simple, but the XBLA version won a updated look, being cleaner and more polished, still maintaining the old-style look, but being attractive, with a more "lively" and colorful. Everything else, like Menus keeps the air retro game. The CG animation of the game use to tell the story and have a simple air, but more refined.
Audio: songs and voices are simple, but with a good audio, and effects, and voiceovers (in animation) are consistent with the actions and what you see, but still keeping the classic look we see in graphics.
Gameplay: here is concentrated the greatest attraction of the game - the game has a series of 14 levels, which should be circulated with controls typical of the old platform games, and using some objects to help walk the galleries and avoid hazards such as spikes, sags and enemies, ranging from the simplest like snakes to advanced ones, like ghosts.
You have objects like a rope (to climb up or down from a session), pumps (used to break the floor or walls) and a whip (to break objects or kill enemies), and other items that are being released with the progression in the game (such as jet packs).
The Levels has the objective to reach the exit using its limited and scarce resources, and in the meantime, picking up treasures and rescuing characters if you want. You can make your way using the items, or try to cross using pre-established paths, but keeping the retro look, nothing is as easy as it sounds.
If you die, you'll be returned to the initial stage of the game, and added to that, we have the fact that the levels are random generated, never a stage will be equal to each other and never the difficulty will be predetermined.
Summary: the game is a very good classic platform game, with a retro air, but it presents a difficulty that may disappoint many people, but to please players who like games more hardcore platform games - the price is a little salty, 800ms points would be better.… Expand
Sep 29, 2012I have put countless hours into this game since release. Each time I play I learn something new, and there is an incredible amount of depth and nuance to the gameplay. While there are some systematic problems with the game (such as the randomized nature resulting in the very occasional cheap death), I have fallen in love with Spelunky. If you are a patient gamer who loves to get personal with every facet of a game (and recieve great rewards for doing so), pick this game up. I did on release day, and haven't stopped playing since.… Expand
Jul 7, 2012People who don't like this game is because they think it's too difficult to them... it's a platform game, like the ones we saw in NES and SNES. Like said before, if you don't like "hard" games you will hate this one, but if you a real gamer, you will like it, or at least apreciate the work in it, if you don't play it to the end. Like FEZ and other retro games, it frustrate the players who like a "modern" and easy game. This game is a masterpiece of retro games, so if you like the style, buy it.… Expand
Aug 10, 2012I exaggerated on my last review of this game. It is a great game, the game play is good, the visual is incredible, the history is simple, the enemies are awesome. But the game has some problems that is hard not to notice, such as: when in multiplayer, only the first player can buy things and the camera is focused on him; when you die, you start all over again; sometimes, 5 lives is not enough, some enemies and traps take more than 1 life of you, and there's nothing on the levels to regenerate a life; when you get hit by something, you stay too much time unconscious and in this little frame of time, someone or something can kill you.… Expand
Jul 12, 2012Though Spelunky's price of 1200points may seem steep for what seems like a re-port of an old classic, but the game speaks for its self. The addition of the co-op mode is worth the 1200 alone. The other user reviews are correct, if you dont like this game it is probably to hard for you, and the frustration factor will turn you off. If you are a gamer like me, however, this is the kind of challenging game you strive for in this world of CoDs and Gears of Wars where with every death there is a close by checkpoint and almost no sense of real danger. There is no mindless killing set to a direct path in Spelunky, a trait that has been all but lost on the new age of gaming and is a breath of fresh air for the XBLA. There was a reason we all spent are allowance every week back in the cartridge days renting these games over and over again never to even come close to beating them. BECAUSE THE CHALLENGE IS THE FUN. After every time you leave a door to a deeper more difficult stage of the caves, you feel you have ACTUALLY accomplished something, very rare in the modern gaming age where everything is determined by achievements or trophies, which could not produce a MORE hollow feeling of accomplishment. I am a big FPS fan and love all graphical advancements in gaming as much as the next guy, but there is something to be said for a game that can port from 16bits and be this good! Give me a giant machine gun and endless enemies to kill and you dont have to be that creative to make the game entertaining. But with a "simple" game like Spelunky, i use quotations because the action and adventure are FAR from simple, you have to create an atmosphere in the game that MAKES it interesting. Trust me your 100th death on stage 1-5 wont cause you to drop the game, and THAT ladies and gentlemen, is a full bodied PERSONAL achievement, not just a ghost of a former accomplishment that xbox has deemed "An Acheivement"! Those hundred deaths actually feel worth it! But i digress...
Controls are smooth as butter. Though it can get extremely frustrating at times, the game was not constructed to be easy. It is definitely aimed at true gamers who have been playing these types of games since the years of nes, snes, genesis, and other similar systems. The frustration is almost what generates the fun aspect of the adventure. What fun is a game with no sense of underlying danger?! In Spelunky you are never more than one or two misplaced jumps away from being sent all the way back to the beginning of the cave to start your adventure again, stripped of everything you may have earned on your way. This sounds like a detrimental aspect of the game, but the beauty of it is that every time you start again you are playing a a totally different game! The levels are all randomly generated every time you enter a door, so there is no grinding repetition of beating the same baddies 50 times over before you finally advance to a new area. This is also where the seemingly overpowering cost of the game fades away. The replay value on spelunky is great, especially since your life is at stake 100% of the time, causing great deal of tension in each stage.
All in all:
Visual: very impressive for a 16 bit port. Colours are nice, bombs look great and the controls really, really complement the graphical style of the game as everything feels as smooth as it looks.
Gameplay: single player and co-op both offer a great experience, have yet to try the deathmatch mode but it looks promising. The tension created by always being seconds from death and a full restart keep the game very exciting and permits a great amount of replay value.
Replay Value: Every time you play it is a different experience as the game generates each stage independently and randomly with continuously more grave amounts of danger and pleasing amounts of treasure!
Sound: Music is great, sound effects fit the game style could use music more to create tension, but the game is difficult enough to give you that feeling on its own
Controls: Easy to learn because the game flows so smoothly, though it will take you time to master your adventurers skills to be a prosperous treasure hunter.
IN CONCLUSION: Don't let the price scare you off, Spelunky may look like a cheesy remake of an old-school adventure platformer, but it is far from that. It is a crisp, fun, challenging and, best yet, never ending romp through the creative caves on your quest for the ultimate treasures!
IF U ARE A *TRUE* GAMER AND CAN DEAL WITH THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL THAT GAMES USED TO BRING US... OR IF YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE OTHER FRIEND TO HELP YOU ON YOUR QUEST FOR RICHES, GET THIS GAME!... ...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, GET IT!… Expand
Jul 4, 2012This is the type of game that will get bad reviews because people don't have the patience to really get what it's all about. Also, if you don't enjoy hard games, you will hate this game. This game is so rewarding because it takes so much planning, concentration and even luck to get through to the end. The controls are great, the items useful and fun, and it has great variety based on the endless iterations of the various levels. If you're up for a challenge and understand that it's going to take you hours to master the gameplay, you're going to love Spelunky, which is undoubtedly the most well-designed and executed game of the year so far.… Expand
I've played this game for a few hours now, which is not nearly enough to do an in-depth review, but these are my first thoughts. The game is a lot of fun. You really have to learn to be careful or you will die by carelessness. You will die, die again, and then die some more, but with each death you learn a little more about the game, and how to survive. As for the controls, they're very responsive, and I've yet to die because of them. And the graphics are really great as well. It's a crisp HD look that suits the game. So all in all, it looks like a fun game that will take a long time to master. But oddly, I think that's ok.… Collapse
Jul 5, 2012Got the game based on reviews. Liked the game itself, but found it a bit too difficult for my tastes. There is a fine line between challenging and frustrating. I'd recommend the game to people who enjoy intense puzzle-solving mechanics. Certainly worth downloading the demo!
Jul 11, 2012risk, reward. these words describe many of the situations that you will encounter in this game. i only have one heart, should i leave safely, or risk trying to save the damsel... or should i try to rob the shopkeeper even though there is a good chance i will die. these situtations occur frequently and they will decide whether you venture far into the journey or be locked in the caves. this game also takes patience... lots of it... also it takes a good amount of skill. sometimes it may take hours of trying to accomplish your goal but that makes the moment of victory all the sweeter. spelunky is not for the feint of heart but if you are determined and patient this game can be a real gem, i highly recommend playing, it truly is another indie victory with the likes of super meat boy and limbo… Expand
Jul 20, 2012I wasn't expecting a lot from this game when I first heard about it. Sure I love retro-gaming and this one looks like a refurbished game from the eigthies (which it actually is). First time I tried it, looks particularly hard, because I kept dying over and over again. Sometimes I could die in less that 15 seconds. Could be frustrating to some, but for me it was challenging. As in Super meat boy you have to retry many times before getting the hang of it, but when you reach a new randomize level, it's very rewarding. I have yet to finish the game but I won't give up until I do. I would recommend this game to everybody who is willing to put some effort in game. As far as I'm concerned, Spelunky is the best XBLA game since Super Meat Boy, hands down !… Expand
Aug 4, 2012Excellent game that rewards and punishes appropriately. All your actions have risk / rewards and the sense of adventure feels so real. The controls may be tricky at the beginning but after awhile you will realise that they are ingenius. I'm not a fan of 2d platformers but this game is one hell of an exception.
Aug 18, 2012Spelunky is a fantastic and fun platformer. Be warn it is hard, and there will be plenty of dying. Old school gamers will feel right at home playing such a difficult game. Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man, Mario etc. were all very hard. But their gameplay revolve around trial and error. Spelunky revolves around learning the game mechanics. There is no trial and error because every stage is randomly generated and each playthrough is unique. You progressively get better and when you complete the game, it is an accomplishment. It is a deep intrinsic game and you are guaranteed to come back even after dying dozens of time. Every death is the player's fault and that is what makes the game so great. It is not "cheap" in the traditional sense. It is very hard but fair.
The controls are very responsive. It might kill you the first few times but after learning the core mechanics, you'll never fight against it. Multiplayer is great fun. Coop is just a mess of fun, with friends killing and sabotaging each other while trying to reach the end of a stage. Deathmatch is chaotic with bombs flying everywhere and plenty of wtf death. It's shallow but great for a quick laugh.
I wish there was online coop play, split screen multiplayer, and an online coop leaderboard. Why omit a leaderboard for cooperative play, I'll never know. Despite these cons, the game is still a blast. 1200 msp seems a bit steep but fans of the platforming genre own it to themselves to check out this game. For everyone else, give it a try before buying. I'm sure many of you will agree this game is a hidden gem among the xbla library.… Expand
Aug 24, 2012Spelunky is singly the most frustrating game I have ever played, yet this somehow only adds to the sense of satisfaction when you finally edge a single level further than the time before. If you go into this game expecting the classic 2D platformer that you can breeze through and complete with ease, then you
Nov 14, 2012Nice clean visuals that may look childish, but it hides a devilish hard game. Addictive and fun in coop with "accidents" of knocking you're friends in to lava.
Mar 6, 2013the best rogue-like on the 360, the dungeon randomizes everytime you play, enemy encounteres are always varied and unique, and so many secrets to be found like going inside of a worm, castle, black market that you'll always find something new. this game is the crowning achievement of "just one more time" syndrom. ive spent 2hrs playing this game, saying "just one more" time after i die.
Mar 20, 2013I loved this game so much when I bought it, I feel it was worth buying. It's frustrating at times but it's addicting just trying to make it further and further, the addition of shortcuts/tunnels in this game were a great idea, sometimes it's hard to make it through levels and it would have sucked having to start from the beginning.
Great game.
Mar 13, 2014This game is the type of games that will get bad reviews from some hasty people. Why? Because it is excruciatingly hard. Completing even the first level may seem like an overwhelming challenge at first, but one you'll overcome with patience and practice.Standing only at sixteen (actually twenty) levels before the ''final'' boss, four for each of the worlds, the game may seem like a pretty short and simple platformer, but here comes the twist. Every single time you die (and it will happen, A LOT), you respawn at the very first level of the Mines (1-1), but it is not the same 1-1 you just went through, it is randomly generated like every other level, meaning that in a thousand successful games you would never encounter the same layout twice. In addition to that, a plethore of different enemies. events and items will keep you hooked until you know the ins and outs of everything Spelunky and you can reliably (or almost) kill Olmec on most runs. The charming art style makes it a pleasure to look at, with every of the 16 characters being unique enough to warrant a little playtime. Couch co-op and deathmatch help extend the already infinite replayability of Spelunky and add a little more chaos and family ruining fun to your spelunking evenings too!
Aside from some minor nitpicks, such as bothering multiplayer bugs and the lack of updates compared to other versions of Spelnuky HD, this game is a brilliant masterpiece, and one proof that gameplay still is at the very core of the enjoyment of a game, even when there is no story involved, at all. Go and try it, you will die at every trap, but I promise, you will soon be riding Olmec into Hell, collecting every diamond the nefarious ghost can grant you.… Expand
Nov 20, 2014Okay,Spelunky is an Action-Platformer,where if you are a casual gamer,you have a high chance to not like this game.The game is cut up into 4 sections,with 4 areas inside of each section.But,if you die,it's back to the beginning. This game is brutal,so brutal it took me over 600 runs to beat it my first time.The game does fell very satisfying to complete though,and it has very good stylized and pretty graphics,and the music is awesome.This game also has co-op,and might be fun to play with a friend for a few laughs,and bursts of rage.The game has even a hidden hard mode,but I won't spoil the "fun" in finding it.Or I guess you could just look it up.The game also has an Arena Mode,but playing with bots is very frantic,and might not interest you for very long.The game is very fun,but only for the people who like losing a bunch before finishing this game.Casuals will get very frustrated with the game's very tight and responsive controls.This game will test you,and if you are not ready,it will annihilate you,but every death feels as though it was your fault. If you like good music,responsive controls and a game that will destroy you,this is for you.… Expand

Sep 2, 2013A good and punishing rogue-like which is just as easy to hate as it is to love. As you explore the random levels this really challenging 2-D platformer will make you cry and laugh at the same time. You'll need high concentration and a big chunk of patience to have fun with this one. Spelunky is just as fun on the PC as it was one year ago on the Xbox 360, and the gaming masochists' very best friend.
Oct 14, 2012A highly addictive and ruthless (in a good way) 2D-platformer with an endless supply of random roquelike-levels. You won't beat this one in a hurry. [Sept 2012]
