What Else Did Kirk Radomski Find Under His TV?
Posted by Blue Menu under Blue Menu's rumination[7] Comments
As reported on ESPN.com yesterday, Kirk Radomski has revealed that he found a shipping receipt for human growth hormone that he sent to Roger Clemens, along with receipts for similar shipments to several other baseball players, under a broken television set in his bedroom.
This revelation is expected to blow Clemens' lawsuit against former trainer Brian McNamee wide open, and adds further credence to allegations that Clemens may have perjured himself in his testimony before House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform earlier this year.

A small thunder of beating wings fell Into it, I threw my hopes and prayers should his light fail and end succeed, the thunder would roll on The fury of his need steals his days, and I cannot breathe for lack of understanding why the good die young, why the good does not last Chaser of fear after a pint of exhilaration drowns my joy in knowing the horizon rises against him, and I cannot change his course - A.

North Carolina—a beautiful place of humble abode, On summer vacations or all the year round. Rife with history, the Wright Brothers showed, Thanks to Kitty Hawk's sand dunes at heights quite profound, Hosting Earth's first manned flight on wings at our coast. Carolina Tarheels—the battle cries loud, Across our green state, Biltmore east, towards Kill Devil Hills. Rolling gently across cotton and tobacco fields plowed, Over civil war lands defended with vigor and skill. Lakes and streams they're a plenty, abundant wildlife to boast, Identified as "Southern" south of Mason-Dixon's own line. North Carolina place of wonder, from mountains to coast, Appalachian Trail hikers by the thousands lovingly opine. So the next time you feel, the need to discover, Visit North Carolina's splendor, with a friend, sister, or brother!
Like a bird Like a bird up in a treetop Singing, tenderly This little bird I know him well This creature it be me I sit here with my pen in hand And sing so crazily With symbols shining out like gold I give my song to thee These words, they be my message I sing them to the sky One day his body will be gone But the words will never die They well up from my very soul Without no help from me I am that bird up in a tree With his lone symphony. And lord, I like to share it I will whisper from the stars And tell the world I am this bird Send vibes out wide and far That sing about the journey The only one I know As I'm sending out my story In words that make it glow. 5 August 2013 @ 1755hrs.
the shipwrecked sailor from the North lands on land between the seas and sees nothing but trees the trees shade him from the sun in the sky the sky provides a medium in which the birds from the trees can fly and the birds nested in the trees on occasion provide the sailor birds to fry unfortunately the shipwrecked sailor after his bird meal and nap still can't fly
Goats They're everywhere These pretty little creatures On the serpent road to Exmouth They be some of the features Along with Emus, Kangaroos And handsome birds of prey These little goats be bountiful They're all along the way. They be domestic goats Who've gone back to the wilds Where they have bred one million fold. As one moves along the miles These little goats be seen so much In their many shades and hues Don't know where they got their water It be tough country too. The weather here be hot and dry As the sun bakes everything And mostly here no rain does fall To drinking water bring. And yet these goats look healthy as Such nimble little beasts You'd see some dead there in the road As the crows do have their feast. That be the price of progress That poor beasts have to die That be the curse of human beings Sometimes it makes me cry Yet still they be so plentiful These handsome little guys Another little part of nature That make love in me rise.
Let me go show me out the door with kind words I want you to Love me .. not punish by Force My Prison, my warden Let me go My choice to be Free Free of suppression, of my own creativity let me decide for myself my destiny Let me go let go of me gracefully I belong to myself , children and God Let me go , let go of me I am free to choose to love and give I am Free from what burdens me now I am Free
Flightless Old Birds I spill ink upon a most sadden page life of youth was once all the rage Good times were to readily be had even a dull day was not all that bad For each new morn brought renewed hope nothing, nothing seem beyond our scope This ink sets in its newborn form tired words seem to be my new norm A whisper and a cry rarely ever call newborn days of hope I can not recall Why does time eat thus at my soul when more livin' was always my goal Looking back I see ink spilt long ago the energy was quick the heart aflow Deep energetic words jumping all about laughter and joy always loudly rang out Love was rampant always in the mix secret night moves our passionate fix O' youth why venture so far astray yes , you just had to have it your way! Robert J. Lindley note: Time we always pray for more . Yet after life abundant we sometimes regret having had too much . For memories of our youth beckon and shout. We then feel old, alone and so left out. Then we ramble and write tired old words. Looking to the skies as flightless old birds! Thanks Peter, your butterfly poem brought this out of me tonight. I saw yours was so upbeat yet mine came out as a cry and a wail.
Young love bird wounded during your flight Worried now where your companion landed You sing a beautiful song, but still no sight Certainly now he must have gotten stranded The magical serenade continues to no avail Some concern now for your own well being This winter flight treacherous you feel frail The singing stops, you are hardly breathing One pilgrimage not completed you feel pain Some guilt overtakes when you start to heal The flying before your partner was it in vain Or is there.a bird needing your singing still Bird of flight your journey is still not done Heal now, continue to fly for the other one Penned by Wayland Bunch 2/12/2013
As I fly, miles high, out across, the deep blue sky, I look for prey, on the forest floor, as I elegantly soar, I can spot a hare, a mile down, and dive at 100, to the ground, I am the acrobat, of the air, and the king of the sky, without a care.
It burns and it stings. It hurts. More than drowning beneath the ice. More than remaining in a kindled flame She hits and I no longer cry. Why mother, why? It burned and it stung. The markings remained, returned, and were relived Looking, loving, and little known loathing were the known ways of living. Never was their pity for the child that cried Never was their relief for the child that tried You were that lovely bird that understood the complications of felicity Nothing looked the same in those dewy browns of yours. My everbeating would cry tears of joy. The others-they were yet to appear. Caring Mother, o' so fair You were that beautiful bird filled with care. The others came and were not alone. Their two suitors sat on the throne. Rampage and rage why did you come? I began to wither and wither slumping along. So very soon I- the child of fines- became a human raceme. The droops of the Lily of the Valley became the slumping of my heart. My lovely bird the enemy had taken you and the person you were is far from near. For that divine nature left its intricate self and you became irretrievable my big bird. All of your fairness died. With that went my pride. Mother, Mother what moved you so? Your intense spirt vanished only to supplement a monster. Mother, Monster and your tar filled lungs. How did I kill that liver that was so, so strong? The lesson of pain was one you came to learn. My darling bird why did you turn? My lovely bird and your big brown eyes I'll tell you once, but never twice. Pain is only a flower for it blooms and dies And a mistake can be killed as quickly as lice. You dear bird hurt me well. Though, haven't you heard? Weakness is a souls greatest strength. You brought me up, then you brought me down. You haved helped, hurt, and hindered my blazing spirit. A hero in my heart-I left you down in your deep black slumber. Escaping those terrible nights To go for the town of delights.
The Craters Of Costa Rica Welcome Moon, Mars and craters, to your cousin Costa Rica Mountain walls rise up in orange display, in gravel and red clay Hug the twisting narrow roads in terror Clinging to the mountains Brilliant birds and lizards compliment the wilds there They scatter at the thunder sound in earthquake orchestration Volcanoes sound the trumpet of the day Deep holes punctuate the asphalt windings People driving straight, inebriated, take no comfort in the hole Craters occupy the roads Like Venus, Moon and Mars There, to be explored, or to avoid, if so inclined Sober souls are also occupied The challenge to survive is cumbersome A friendly reminder of where you are Ending in a ditch or off a cliff You might miss a pot hole here and there They come on subtle like a kiss Sooner or later they will find you in the dark And rock you like the craters that they are Far from home in Costa Rica
Once I Sought But Love Ran Away I sought peace by way of knowledge the well was full but the peace it did so hide I ran races after peaceful horses but the saddles fell of and trampled was my heart I sought love by way of exciting sex with beautiful vixens but satisfied I found love hiding I ran after soft girls with hard sexy bodies only to find sex great but true joy O' so elusive A journey lead me into a wild life looking for clues to peace and love. I found great pleasure no real gain. I sat for years begging for an answer when suddenly a little bird told me- Stop, you are trying to force it! Love flees from force. Settle down, look around and you will see Love seeking you out! A great truth hit me like a ton bricks. I obeyed that little voice and now married ten years to the Love that searched me out! Hallejah and I praise her with a Shout!!!!! Stop, open your heart, look and listen. That same little bird just may speak to you! Robert Lindley. 08-13-2014

NEW YORK -- Supermarkets can anticipate a bright future selling new prescription to over-the-counter drugs, although the Food and Drug Administration may ultimately slow the flow of those products onto retail shelves.

Even as Bharatiya Janata Party is pinning hopes on three to four Lok Sabha seats in Telangana, a senior leader said the party committed a "tactical blunder" by entering into an alliance with Telugu Desam in the region.
BJP functionaries expressed confidence that senior party leader Bandaru Dattatreya would romp home in Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency. They are hopeful that BJP nominees would do well in Mahabubnagar, Nizamabad and Karimnagar Lok Sabha constituencies and a dozen Assembly seats, including Amberpet in city from where Telangana BJP president G. Kishan Reddy is seeking re-election.
They said Musheerabad, Goshamahal, Malkajgiri, Khairatabad, Nizamabad urban, Yella Reddy, Karimnagar, Vemulawada, Yella Reddy, Mahabubnagar and Nagarkurnool Assembly seats were the other places where the party was expected to put up a sterling performance. However, the situation would have been totally different and Congress would have been wiped out had the BJP tied up with TRS instead of TDP, said a senior party leader.
The leader, who did not wish to be identified, said most of the seats allotted to BJP were TRS strongholds. Besides, TDP president N. Chandrabau Naidu did not concentrate much on Telangana and also did not spend enough.
He said by aligning with TDP, the party virtually yielded ground to TRS in claiming to be the sole champion of Telangana. "We depended only on Mr. Narendra Modi's glamour and left Telangana factor to TRS and Congress," he added. He said that a BJP-TRS alliance would have got at least 14 Lok Sabha seats as the combination of Mr. Modi's glamour and Telangana issue would have resulted in huge success.
Another BJP leader said BJP-TDP alliance simply did not work. He said the speeches of Mr. Modi during his tour of Telangana when he criticised the manner of bifurcation of the State also did not go well with the people in the region. This aspect was exploited to the hilt by TRS leader K. Chandrasekhar Rao subsequently.

Textura Corporation
(TXTR) plunged 11% to $28.40 a share after the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC announced that it has started an investigation into the company.
The former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., made the announcement. On Dec. 26, 2013, Citron Research released a report claiming select Textura directors and officers committed fraud, collusion and deception during the company's initial public offering and when it filed documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report listed numerous ways that Textura allegedly misled investors and claimed that the company would have been insolvent if not for the IPO.
KSF's investigation will center on whether or not Textura or its directors and officers violated any federal or state securities laws.

Andrew Bynum's knees were not right all season, he will not play one minute of one game.
So how much are teams willing to gamble that this solved the problem?
First things first, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated and NBC Sports Radio tweets that Bynum's knee surgery to clean up everything following his previous surgery was successful. His knees got scoped out. So that is done.
On to the next question: How much would you offer the NBA free agent? How much do you think an NBA team will offer?
My guess is a 2-3 year deal (maybe the team option for the third) around $12 million to $15 million a year. The deal will include an Exhibit 3 exemption, which lets a team list a number of pre-existing conditions and they can waive him if he doesn't play because of one of those conditions. I know you just rolled your eyes at that number, but Kris Humphries got $12 million a year for two years last summer. Bynum when healthy is a potential game changer at both ends. For a team with cap space and a need for a star, it may be worth the gamble.
To me, Bynum is a great test of how much the new CBA really has changed how GMs and teams approach player acquisition.
But at least wherever he signs his knees will have had that second surgery.
- dirtydavis - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:05 PM
2 yr 12mil with a team option sounds about right
- thebigkahuna23 - Mar 21, 2013 at 2:13 PM
I feel like he'll go for much more than six million a year. Teams will start bidding and I think he's get at lease ten million a year probably for a year or two because of the knee.
- 00maltliquor - Mar 22, 2013 at 2:30 AM
Na, he'll get more then a year or he'll just sit it out until he gets a contract that he likes, kinda like how Kenyon Martin did (except, Andrew will actually get a contract he likes).
- mytthor - Mar 21, 2013 at 11:31 PM
I won't make a judgement on what's fair, but if you think he's making 6 million a year you must be a time traveler from 1991. People making about 6 million a year in the NBA: Amir Johnson, JJ Redick, Wes Matthews, Andres Nocioni, Jerome James, Spencer Hawes, Big Baby Davis, Landry Fields, Francisco Garcia, Channing Frye, Brandon Bass, Luke Walton, Wilson Chandler, etc, etc, etc.
You're talking about guys who are 6th or 7th men on contenders, no more. Bynum is risky, but you insure the contract – if he stays healthy he's an all star starter and a legit 20-12-3 blocks guy. No way you're getting him for the same money Mike Miller is getting.
- tubal22 - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:12 PM
I don't want to speculate, but I think Bynum could have rehabbed a lot better and played this year. He has no heart, and probably never had any intention of suiting up for the 76ers.
Whoever signs him better hope he wants to play, because he has no heart, and no loyalty.
- mydoghasfleez - Mar 21, 2013 at 1:10 PM
He should have started rehab more cautiously – like bowl a few games before running or jumping!
- zerole00 - Mar 21, 2013 at 3:10 PM
Agreed, I'm sure the offers would be higher if he had any kind of drive. Instead, he's just comfortable banking – and it looks like a sucker bet if any team bites.
- hwatt - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:19 PM
His new team will have to pay for Bynum's next knee surgery to clean up everything following his previous surgery to clean up everything following his previous surgery, and then, another surgery to clean up everything following… you know…
- firewolf777 - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:24 PM
It sucks the sixers are forced to offer him a good contract.
They gave away all those pieces they have to.
- dirtydavis - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:38 PM
Q: D. Cousins or Bynum?

Chente= GOAT
- illcomm - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:38 PM
as a sixers fan this is a double edge. if bynum wants to stay we will get him at a reduced rate which is better than the max we would defineyely be giving him. so instead of five years at max. 2-3 at up to 13-15 mil is much better. so at least we can look forward to another rebuild now instead of being stuck in a 5 year max.
- Mr. Wright 212 - Mar 21, 2013 at 12:54 PM
Cuban will sign him. I have said this all season. Watch it happen.
- hoodheisman - Mar 21, 2013 at 1:32 PM
That's an interesting thought. It would make sense considering Nowitzki has a 3-year window and 3 years is likely Bynum's ceiling with those knees. The only way to beat the Heat is with size. A front line of Bynum and Nowitzki would be formidable. Cuban wouldn't have to give up anything to get Bynum. All he would have to do is offer Bynum a little more money to sell him on being the 2nd option. Low risk, high reward situation if the contract is done right.
- malibudave66 - Mar 21, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Too bad for Philadelphia, If I was them I would be really upset, As a Laker fan we all saw his immaturity and how selfish he was, I hope the 76ers do not offer him a contract because their fans deserve better!!! Andrew grow up the world does not revolve around you!!!
- nard100 - Mar 21, 2013 at 1:25 PM
As a Philly fan, I don't know how much of this nonsense we are supposed to take. Once again the ghost of Charles Shackleford/ Jeff Ruland rears his ugly head again. I'm starting to think seriously that it is time to jump ship. 30 years is too long to wait for this organization to get its act together.
- money2long - Mar 21, 2013 at 1:57 PM
he coulda had a max deal on day 1 with philly. he chose to play things out…

The rage in Philly would be immeasurable now if that were the case. I think Philly dodged a bullet.

exactly, houston lucked out with harden, who's looking to be on the verge of super stardom. they made haste to get his name on the dotted line ASAP. philly def dodged a bullet !
- notoriousbri - Mar 21, 2013 at 2:10 PM
people usually get 5-10 years for stealing money like this bum.. whoever signs him will be sorry at his lack of effort and immaturity.
dude got hurt bowling.. do you need to know anything else?
- lakerluver - Mar 21, 2013 at 2:11 PM
Bynum drug his brittle and broken knees up and down the court for my beloved LAKERS and helped them hang two more banners. For that he will always be loved in my book. I hope he gets healthy and leads Philly (or whomever) to multiple Finals appearances (as long as they lose to the LAKERS!). Get well, Big Fella.

He will be on that "Diving" show next year with Charles Barkley.

The Sixers ought to resign him then package him with a bunch of their other bums like Evan Turner and Wilkins for some good players that don't choke when the game is on the line.

Three-Cheese Souffles Recipe
No matter when I've made these soufflés, they have always been a success. Although I've never seen the centers start to fall, it's best to plan on serving them hot from the oven. —Jean Ference, Sherwood Park, Alberta
- 1/3 cup butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Dash hot pepper sauce
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, mustard, salt and pepper sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in cheeses until melted. Transfer to a large bowl.
- 2. Separate eggs. Place egg whites in a medium bowl; stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup hot cheese mixture; return all to remaining cheese mixture, stirring constantly. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- 3. Preheat oven to 325°. Place eight ungreased 8-oz. ramekins in a baking pan.

The Eagle talisman has always been connected to the sun and heaven. It is also associated with lightning storms and thunderbolts. It is the Eagles strength and power that make this talisman a particularly powerful one. This charm allows the wearer to take flight from the mundane, to escape from the boring. If you are tired of your day to day existence, this is the charm for you. Since time began, the Eagle has always been seen as the king of birds.
In Greek and Roman times the Eagle was always referred to as a God or King. In Roman art the Eagle in flight was described as the soul of a person that has died and is ascending to heaven. The Roman and Greek legions carried the eagle on their standards. The Bible identifies the Eagle as the emblem of God's power over the wicked. In the middle ages the Eagle was seen as the symbol of rebirth. It was also believed that when an Eagle died it would be reborn as another Eagle. Eastern mystics and gurus believe that the ascending Eagle is always very close to God. Aristotle said that the Eagle could fly directly into the sun without being blinded.
The Eagle talisman gives the wearer pride and self confidence. Many countries depict the Eagle on their flags and currency. This talisman is suited to the uncommon person. If you have always wanted to march to the beat of a different drummer, this is the charm for you. Much of Western Europe has adopted the Eagle as their sign of sovereignty. After all is said and done this talisman shall survive all others. This charm exudes power. It is generally considered a masculine charm, although many strong willed and adventurous women tend to wear them as well.

First, what did you get for the derivative of y with respect to x?
I know the basic deffinition of the differential, I just don't know how to apply it in the case of a trigonometric function
I tried to solve it, f'(2) = (1/cos^2(4(2)+7))(4) =>
= (1/cos^2(15))(4) = ... and I recognize I have no idea how to deal with the trig expression cos^2(15)), do I have to consider it as cos(225), which gives me -0,707106, and I just have to plug in the values... (sorry, I haven't done any math since 2002, and I revised a bit of basic trigonometry, but I'm still lost in the trig identities and calculations. I hope though, I would manage to improve that by the time of my final exam...)

In a country that gained independence nearly 50 years ago, half of those years by democratic governance, is suppose to be making significant strides in diplomacy, women are still being raped, of their bodies and of their rights. Yes! Nigeria is developing in industry, science and technology, entrepreneurship, banking and finance. Even in the educational and agricultural sectors, though still below expectation, the country has recorded some achievements. When put on a performance scale on issues of security and justice for its people, my beloved country has not only performed below expectations, it has also failed its people seriously. I remember with nostalgia those days when we were in primary school. At every anniversary of Nigerian independence day, we as school children received gifts. We would gather in each local council headquarter to wine and dine and give great ovation to our dear country.Great was our hope, expectations and aspiration for the nation. In those days girls and women could go out at anytime of the day, visit their neighbours and friends, and even spend the night with them without fear of being molested or abused. As a mother you could leave your girl child with your neighbours and travel out of town without fear of the girl being abused. The situation was not too different as we progressed to higher institutions of learning. The youths then enjoyed lots of goodies until mid-1980s when Nigerians experienced a downturn all of a sudden. The experience then was like sleeping in the White House to suddenly wake up in a ghetto. Since then, the situation has not been the same. The rate of poverty has become so high, and people have become so frustrated and conscious of poverty. Violence, bribery and corruption have become the order of the day, and patriotism and brotherhood have been thrown into the dustbin. Since the inception of the current democratic experiment with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as executive president, some degree of normalcy has started to settle into Nigerian society with the exception of sexual violence, which still abounds. The reasons for this are not far fetched. The level of poverty, bribery and corruption are the major reason why rapists are not often brought to arrest, despite the fact that cases of sexual violence against women are reported almost everyday. As a guidance counselor in a secondary school, I listened to a 13 year-old girl declare her intention to end her life because she was fed up. She told me of a cousin living with her family, who had been violating her sexually since she was eight years old. The cousin threatened that she would die if she revealed the secret. While we were admitting a new girl to the secondary school in 2005, she revealed that a neighbour had pretended to send her on an errand, and forced her to have sex with him, which resulted in her pregnancy. The stories go on. When I joined the university, a student visited a friend in the male hostel, who raped her, and then dared her to shout out and carry the stigma around throughout her stay on campus. What do you say to girl, who was coming from class after reading, only to be accosted by some boys on her way to the hostel and raped? Or the one that was coming from town to campus in the night carried by a bike and was raped by the bike rider? There are countless number of house servants who are used as an alternative when the wife of the master of the house is not around; the countless number of girl students being sexually abused by their teachers and are coerced into keeping it a secret. We have to STOP women abusers in this country so that we will not jeopardize the future of our nation, as we all know that women are the heart of every nation. Thank God for organizations like Women Against Rape, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Exploitation (WARSHE). They handle many cases of sexual violence for many victims who are socially, culturally, and economically disadvantaged and may not be able to afford taking up personal cases themselves, even if they desire to, because of poverty and social status. With the educational and enlightenment campaigns embarked upon by these organizations, people are now becoming emboldened to declare cases of sexual abuse. The most challenging aspects of the work of these organizations are the difficulties that are often encountered in securing justice for girls and women who have survived sexual violence and abuse. At WARSHE, the coordinator cited instances of frustrating encounters with persons in the administration of justice, medical doctors, police officers, magistrates, and even judges. To address this issue, a workshop was convened by WARSHE in 2004 on the search for justice with financial support of African Women Development Fund (AWDF). The participants were drawn from various strata of society, including medical practitioners, lawyers, magistrates, prosecutors, police detectives, teachers, social workers, students, media practitioners, NGOs, etc. At the end of the workshop, a report was issued with the defining roles of all the stakeholders in seeking justice clearly stated. The prosecutors, court, legal practitioners and medical personnel. Also a paper was presented by Barrister Olasupo Ojo,president of the Center for Rule of Law at another workshop organized by WARSHE in 2006 for Police Investigators and Prosecutors under Osun State command. He said "For reasons that are undergoing continuous investigation, it is becoming more and more difficult to secure conviction in cases of sexual violence especially rape cases. "Sexual offences under the criminal justice system in Nigeria is administered by public institutions. Each public institution is administered by human beings with their peculiar idiosyncrasies as determined by their background, social orientations and cultural beliefs which ultimately influence the performance of their functions as public officers either positively or negatively depending on individual circumstances." He went further to say that once there is a report of sexual violence, the normal thing is there must be no delay, the investigation must commence immediately because of the peculiar nature of the offence and evidence required to prove it. This can only be achieved when the investigation is handled by policemen that are mature, humane and have overcome societal stereotypes by virtue of formal or informal education. After the workshop, the participants made several appeals to the government, police and others concerned with the matter. When asked why it is difficult to get justice for victims of sexual violence, Barrister Jide Obisakin, Director of the Osun State Ministry of Justice said, "Delay in our judicial system makes it difficult procedurally, to dispatch criminal cases on time. (In addition), the inability of victims to pursue their cases to a logical conclusion because of the stigma is also a contributing factor." Also Dr. Uwemedimbuk Ekanem, a consultant of Community Health in University Of Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State said, "In my experience, most of those accused of sexual violence are intimate with the victims. African women are taught to be subservient to their men. As such, even women similar to her would be blaming her if she is bent on getting justice." "A girl was presented to me at our HIV clinic was raped by her lecturer when she went to submit an assignment. After given her the necessary medical care, I asked if she would want the man to be prosecuted, she said 'NO' that her pastor and his wife have advised her to forgive the 'Idiot' lecturer. I was prepared to testify in court the findings of my physical/clinical examination which would have pinned down the BEAST called lecturer." It will help tremendously if the international community would impress upon the government of Nigeria: to enforce existing laws against sexual harassment and abuse, to educate the police, and to take an active role in sponsoring workshops organized by WARSHE and others. This action could be targeted towards local government offices throughout the nation. A bureau could be established by government that will be backed by appropriate legislations to focus on handling reported cases of sexual violence and getting justice for the victims. Great hope will be engendered by the time attention is focused on the issue, and all are ready to do something positive about it. There is also the need for a place where women can gather to discuss and present a common front to agitate for their rights from government in order to confront the menace of sexual violence. Women Inspiration Center (WIC) will have recreational facilities and cybercafé for women; a place for continuing education for girls who dropped out of school due to poverty or unwanted pregnancy; a place for those who don't want to further their education but want learn a vocation; a place where an abused girl or woman could run to for safety; and a place where we will also have a magazine that will be publishing issues that affect women. By the time, the noise is so loud from all sides, the government will have to stop playing the ostrich and pay attention to enforcing existing laws that make acts of sexual violence against women a criminal act. Meanwhile, before the realization of the Women Inspiration Center, we need your support and backing all over the world to put a stop to the menaces of sexual violence by supporting our crusade OPERATION STOP SEXUAL VIOLENCE and ABUSE. All women are vulnerable to sexual violence and abuse in Nigeria. We will not fold our hands and allow this to continue. We know our destiny lies in our hands, and so a team of women, myself as the coordinator, has decided to embark on Aggressive Campaign on Sexual Violence and Abuse. We will be going from village to village, town to town, and city to city to call upon local governments to take a closer look at the issues of sexual violence; the police to live up to their responsibility to the law; the medical workers to be prompt, thorough and non-judgmental in examining victims and give detail results; educating women on how to protect themselves, educating men on healthy sexual relationships, and educating parents to rise up to their responsibilities in taking care and protecting their children from being abused. Please share the motto of WARSHE: Make sure you are not raped!!!!!!!!!! Make sure SHE is not raped!!!!!!!!!!! ###########

I stand in solidarity with you in asking human kind to stop sexual violence and abuse. In this day and age, it is unfathomable that this kind of abuse and violence continues to happen and what's worse - that a blind eye is turned to the victims and rapists go unpunished. I am so inspired by your courage to assemble the Aggressive Campaign on Sexual Violence and Abuse. I will be marching with you in spirit. I also love the concept of the Women Inspiration Center. Please keep us updated on this incredible organization. Your frontline journal is so powerful and inspiring! Incredible reporting.
Love, Jade
Hi Jade, Thanks for your support, It is being a long time, hope you are fine. Thanks for your solidarity, we are all going to make it happen.I will continue to keep you informed concerning the organization.

When I think of these facts in the world, my heart gets very sad. This is spine chilling. I wish you the best in your endeavor. This must come to an end. Women are here to listen to your voice and help you multiply it all over the world. We will all talk about this in all forums.
The saddest thing is, that this does not happen only in Nigeria. There are lots of places where this is the usual way things go. As someone told me, it is the work of all of us to train our men. We need to do a better job at that. We need to find better ways that are flexible to take men's behavior, and turn it into a better, non violent one.
This is a lot of work, though, and we all need to pitch in.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jackie, I agree with you perfectly that there is a lot of work re shape our men and we are all going to do it. As i train my boys to respect women and have healthy sexual relationship, you train yours and every other mothers train their own as time goes on we will make this world safe for women and a better place to live in.

I want to congratulate you on reporting on a very complex issue in such a thorough manner. I think you did an excellent job of showing us that change needs to happen at all levels in order for it to be successful. The government needs to do its part to enforce the laws it has made, but the communities and schools must do their part too, to educate our youngsters, both men and women, that this "status quo" is just not acceptable. That's why your grassroots campaign of OPERATION STOP SEXUAL VIOLENCE and ABUSE is such a crucial part of this story. If through your "on the ground" efforts more people begin to speak up, the noise will grow loud enough that the government will have to listen. Sometimes change has to happen from the ground up. I will be sharing this story with my friends, family, and colleagues so that they too can speak up and the message can grow louder. Thank you for being at the frontline in your community efforts. You set a fine example for the rest of us!
In peace,
Amy Lombardo www.truenaturewellness.com
Hi Amy, Yes, we need the change very badly and we are all going to make it happen. Please share the story with your friends family and colleagues. I know it may take time but the change will surely come. Thanks dear mentor for all your supports. I really appreciate you.

Busayo, good piece. I'm an editorial midwife skipping around looking at other's pieces and wanted to make a few strictly editorial suggestions that I think would streamline your great reporting.
Get the point up in the lead: It takes a while to get to what the most important point of the story is - RAPE. And important it is. I think you can keep your broad lead while also getting that most crucial point up top as well. A revised lead would read something to the effect that: In a country that gained Democratic governance 50 years ago, is supposed to be making significant strides in diplomacy, women are still being raped, of their bodies, and of their rights. then go from there - wrapping your color from the women's stories you've heard in with your facts. I've brought this up to others as well that it seems we write in chunks - long blocks of fact/long blocks color. But to keep a reader reading, we need to wrap a blanket around them that weaves the both fact and color together. Give them a little fact, give them a little color. Almost like giving a baby medicine in a bottle. Mix the milk with the medicine so it's more digestible. Weave the facts with the personal experiences to it's more enjoyable.
Tighter and shorter: There are instances where information repeats, i.e. lawyer, doctors attented the WARSHE, stated repeatedly in different ways. I think duplicated information can be cut out and give you a much slimmer and sleeker piece. It would stop the reader from wondering why she is being given the same information in a different format.
Lastly, I think you have to get your strongest voice up higher. I know you bring in your memories relatively soon, which is good, but the most impactful part of the piece, I thought, and the point where I heard your voice at its strongest was when you were asking: what do you tell a girl who says this? what do you tell a girl that says that? Those are strong feelings on your part and if you start the piece with that passionate frustration, the reader is more likely to want to know what the rest of your voice has to say.
Thanks. Hope something here makes sense. Leslie
Hi Leslie, I really appreciate your imput and i have done the editing.The whole piece is about getting justice for sexual violence victims that is why i can not erase those those quotations from the lawyers and the medical doctor.
Thanks once againand i really appreciate your effort in reading and making those imputs
Love Busayo

Of course, of course, never leave the quotations out from the laywers and the doctor, I was just referring to not duplicating information about or from them.
Hi Leslie, Thanks very much for your contributions, I will make sure that the quotes are not duplicated.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue New Trends in Gold Catalysts)
A partially reduced TiO2 surface exhibits increasingly complex nature when forming various defects, whose stoichiometry, structure and properties are markedly different from those of bulk TiO2. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory, we investigate different types of surface defects formed by Ti interstitials on TiO2 (110) and their reactivity toward deposited gold atoms. Sub-stoichiometric strands greatly enhance bonding of Au by transferring the excess charges from the reduced Ti3+ onto the strands. Thus the sub-stoichiometric strands behave as strong electron donor sites toward reactants. On the contrary, fully stoichiometric nanoclusters provide increased Au bonding through its 1-coordinated oxygen, which acts as a strong electron acceptor site. Specific interactions between Au and defects as well as the implication of electron donor/acceptor complexes for catalytic reactions are discussed.Keywords:

Released: Mar 25th, 2008
Running Time: 142 Min.
Company: Pink Visual Productions
Dick Nasty, Eric (I), Rod Fontana, Sasha Grey, Marlene, Jassie (I), Valerie (I), Lanny Barby, Celeste Star, Andie Valentino, Charlie Laine
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
The basic premise is that before the featured gals went on to become big shots, they were working for Pink Visual Productions and getting nasty. Most of the scenarios involve talking reluctant girls into sexual acts, and while the way in which they acquiesce to these demands is often quite ridiculous, as usual, it's also part of the fun. Three of the five sessions are girl/girl pairings, and they all feature solid action with a double-ended dildo when the partners grind on it together.
Celeste Star is absolutely gorgeous and gets seduced by brunette Valerie in the best lesbian showcase. Star even allows Valerie to nail her with a strap-on as a grand finale. However, the best scene is the boy/boy/girl three-way with Sasha Grey. She takes on two older gentlemen (Rod Fontana and Dick Nasty), chokes on their cocks and basically gives them the time of their lives.
Retailing: Popular starlets will shine for fans of young girls.

About Wallcliffe:
Wallcliffe is an overhanging limestone sport crag located in the Margaret River region. It is very near Prevelly Park, and about 10/15 minutes from Margaret River. In total there are about 18 routes in the mid-upper range. Most of the climbs are bolted, though some of the bolts may be a bit dodgy. Also watch out for bees! The best place to stay would be either in Margaret River or at Prevelly Park. The two guidebooks to the area are both by Climbwest, they both cover the climbs but West Australian ROCK has a photo topo (though relatively small) For more info see the Climbwest page. |
Nearest town or city: | Margaret River |
Directions: | Go to the River Mouth car park near Prevelly Park. From here it is about a 15 minute walk in. |
Latitude, Longitude: | |
Access Issues: | Climbing was banned for a while, but the ban was over turned due too the hard work of the Climbers Association of Western Australia. Respect other users, the natural wildlife and take your trash with you. |
Camping: | Pay |
When to Climb: | Summer |
Quantity of Climbs: | Week |

Hi Techies,
I Developed one registration page in that page I provided the country list,based on the country it need to load the Company(option list) when user selects the country.

Deborah flanders
Deb Flanders' clear soprano voice has been described as "vibrant" by Seven Days and "gorgeous" by the Times-Argus. She has been performing songs from the remarkable ballad collection of her great-aunt Helen Hartness Flanders for several years. Deb's 1997 CD, Mother Make My Bed, paid tribute to her great-aunt's life-long work and gave Vermonters a taste of the state's extraordinary musical traditions. Deb's latest CD (released in 2012), The Female Highwayman, further expands her research into her great-aunt's collections.
Deb's musical background is wide-ranging - singing rock classics with the Burlington-based a cappella group Mixed Company and classical with the Burlington Choral Society. Deb's focus now is on ballad singing and her goal is to fulfill her great-aunt's wish by performing these songs for today's audience and helping to preserve the rich heritage of Vermont. She has performed in the Champlain Folk Festival, Burlington First Night and in concerts throughout Vermont and New England. In the Fall of 2003 she performed in the "Concerts at One" opening the 35th anniversary season of the series at St. Paul's Chapel in New York City.

LC4 exhaust info
There have been a number of conversations about KTM LC4 exhaust systems and slip-ons, so I did a little research (very little) and came up with a few lesser known brands, at least in the US, to consider besides the factory KTM stuff, the Supertrapp IDS2, Big Gun and the on again off again Pro Circuit T-4.
So far here is a short list of some of the other brands: Sebring, BSM by ABP, Leovince X-3, SP, Doma, Akrapovic. I'm sure there are others out there, but I haven't found them... yet. The first link is the main page for Schnider Cycles in Germany, the second for their english power parts pull down menus. The third is for ABP and is in german. http://www.schneidercycles.de/ http://www.ktmax.de/indexa.htm http://www.abp-racing.de/ My thoughts on this whole pipe thing is that there are lots of styles, materials, price ranges etc, but I doubt any of them, within a given sound db range, offer any dramatic improvement over one another. So go with exclusivity, features, finish, quality, performance, sound, price... what ever your priorities are. I personally went with a Supertrapp IDS2 because of the quality, price, USFS spark arrestor, the ability to fit it ( with a minor modification) to my '03 Adventure and the wide range of tunability, and as I am a friend of a Parts Unlimited dealer... easy to get. Ciao, Creeper |
Thunder Alley
http://www.thunder-alley.net/ Thanks Ram600, Creeper |
I went with the G-Force Titanium exhaust. Check out:
http://www.solidcorporation.com John is the US distributor and importer of G-force. Gave my '03 640 Adventure a big throaty sound, not too noisy but woke up that motor and made it sound as it should. |
I went with an Aussie company because I'm aussie. Excellent fit with no modifications, lighter and better sound (94-95dB). Very Happy.
Check 'em out at: http://www.staintune.com.au/exhausts/ktm/index.htm Gaz |
imho, Supertrapp has had the edge for just about anything for at least the last thirty some years.
consider all the other options who's been around the longest with the best prices and tunability out of any other pipe. Supertrapp. the fact that their also USFS Approved spark arrestors is only a benefit to Enduro/adventure bikes doesn't mean their just for that. Had one on my Z1 years ago and loved it then as now, have one on my Lc4 today. next bike I get will also get a Trapp. can't be beat by a $500-1000 pipes for around $200/250 bucks. . :thumbup again jmho. |

Another angle.
Ah! This is starting to look like a pretty good list of LC4 exhausts!
Mack, your system is VERY nice, but what brand is it? I'm afraid I can't read the emblems. Gaz, thanks very much. Completely forgot about Staintune, had one on my Buell. For others that forgot and are interested, here is the link to the US importer: http://www.cbtimports.com/ DJMARLEY, I see that you have to call for information. Is the G-force something they have to make up, or do they have a standard part number for the LC4? Good looking mufflers! Thanks everyone for the input, keep 'em coming :thumb Creeper |

Creeper, sadly it's not mine, as there are no motards in my garage. Love those pipes though, I had an interest in getting a set for my ADV, but it was hard to get info, (not that I tried that hard) and with my Touratech racks I was concerned over fitment issues, not to mention weight. If it works anything like the 1 into 2 systems on the Duke II and Rallye, it should sound and perform as well as it looks. Cheers, Mack
The Sebring LC4 slip-on mufflers are sold thru both ABP & Schneider Cycles in Gemany (the links are above, on my first post). I tried to locate a vendor in the US, but all I found was what appears to be a auto exhaust distributor in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. They have no web address that I can see so anyone interested will have to call, write or e-mail for information. The Sebring site itself is very interesting! So, this is what we have so far in no paticular order: Factory KTM Supertrapp Sebring BSM by ABP Leovince X-3 Staintune SP Doma Thunder Alley Akrapovic G-Force Big Gun Pro Circuit (maybe) Thanks everyone for your input. I think present and future LC4 owners will benefit from having a fairly current list of what is available to them. In our next episode, we will see what folks are using as a replacement carb for LC4s. From what I've seen and from personal experience, the most recent street legal carb, the Mikuni BST 40, works fine on the street and OK to poor on dirt and is not the most responsive mixer in the world. I recently obtained a Mikuni TM (HSR) 42-6 that I will be screwing around with, when I have more hard data/photos, I will post it. Thanks again to everyone! Anyone reading this, if you have a exhaust not already on the above list, don't hesitate to add your information. Thanks!:thumb Creeper |
(Sebring Austrian market pricing) I think the really sexy one in Mack's pictures is the 1205 Euro unit. It's hell having good taste, isn't it!

Poulsbo fire chief, paramedic attend memorial for Hotshots
PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Poulsbo Fire Chief Jeff Griffin and paramedic/union president Craig Becker flew to Prescott, Ariz. Monday to attend the memorial service for the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots.
The 19 firefighters who died when an out-of-control wildfire overran them were honored Tuesday by thousands of fellow firefighters and law enforcement officers, Gov. Jan Brewer and Vice President Joe Biden called them "men of uncommon valor" and thanked God that one member of the crew survived unhurt, according to Arizona media.
The firefighters — members of the Prescott Fire Department's elite Granite Mountain Hotshots wildfire crew, died June 30.
Flags at Station 71 and 77 were lowered to half staff by direction of the Washington Fire Chiefs. All fire districts and city fire departments lowered their flags to half staff July 9 in honor of the fallen 19.
After the funeral, fire department members from all over the country and Canada stood in the blazing Arizona sun and saluted, as several buses — one bus for each family of a fallen firefighter — drove away, according to Griffin.
Griffin said they were going non-stop since they left Seattle but "every minute was worth the effort. The whole thing was incredible."
At the memorial, Griffin saw empty helmets, fire-worn gear neatly stacked; widows, children, and parents holding neatly folded flags in their laps; and heard pipes playing and beautiful words spoken.
"I am humbled and honored to be part of a profession that includes men like these 19," he said.

Without Kevin Durant, Nick Collison and Derek Fisher, the Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the whole game as they fell 88-76 to the Phoenix Suns. The Thunder fell to 4-2 in the preseason.
Reggie Jackson led the Thunder with 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting, along with four assists and three rebounds. Jackson finished 1-of-6 from three-point range.
Oklahoma City never led, and trailed by as much as 21 points in the second half. However, the Thunder pushed it as close at 67-61 in the fourth quarter, as the Thunder never got any closer.
Steven Adams was another bright spot, scoring 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds. His defense was much better throughout the game.
Oklahoma City returns home to the central time zone tomorrow night as they host the Chicago Bulls in Wichita, Kan. Tip-off is at 8:30 PM at the Intrust Bank Arena. You can catch the game on ESPN if you're unable to make the trip up I-35.
What to watch for
Picking up KD's slack
No one really did this tonight. Some people tried, but unfortunately, he was dearly missed. Oklahoma City could really struggle a lot if he was to miss time without Russell Westbrook in the line up. It's a very scary thought.
Three-Point shooting
Hah, this was laughable. Get it, hah? Anyway, Oklahoma City was an atrocious 2-of-19 from behind the arc. Jackson and Perry Jones were the only good guys to go deep. the rest of the team finished 0-of-11. That includes Jeremy Lamb. He and Thabo Sefolosha finished 0-of-7 combined.
Steven Adams
Choo Choo – hop on the bandwagon! It's leaving the station. He keeps improving each game. He battled with Martin Gortat throughout the game, and for the most part succeeded. I was very happy with how he defended everyone that came in. He only battled fifth overall pick, Alex Len, for a short period, but really dominated him when he was in the game.
Thunder Thoughts:
- All-in-all, without Durant, this team really had zero identity. Half of it was just barreling down the line and trying to score at the rim, which failed a lot of the time.
- The second half was really bad for the Thunder. Turnover after turnover, accounting for 13 of them in the second act. Just was careless taking care of the football.
- I could go on and on about Steven Adams all day, but I won't. I will say I think Hasheem Thabeet is in real big trouble. I fully expect Steven Adams to be the back up center coming opening day, next week. He's been really impressive so far this preseason. What's awesome about this kid is that he's so hungry to learn.
- In the first half, I was really worried about Jeremy Lamb. The kid was really over thinking and it was showing. He missed a technical foul free throw, something that would've been easy money usually. However, coming out of the locker room he really settled down. After starting just 1-of-7, he finished 3-of-4. He was a huge part in the surge to get back in the game early in the fourth quarter.
- Some people were upset on how Sefolosha played, and it wasn't that bad, I guess. Tonight just showed that he's not a number one or two option. When he is expected to do that, he struggles. He did tonight, going just 1-of-9, including 0-of-4 from three-point range. He air balled a three-point attempt to put the icing on the cake. He left the game in the third quarter with cramps, never to return.
- I keep thinking to myself, why is Diante Garrett and Andre Roberson on this team? They both again had poor games, and keep making me think they don't deserve to be on an NBA team. Oklahoma City will most likely keep both players. Garrett, because Oklahoma City needs a third point guard. Roberson, so they don't lose their rights. He'll most likely going to Tulsa.
Next up: Tomorrow, vs. Bulls in Wichita, Kan.

Got to hand it to the father for holding out that much.
I would have sent one in the moment someone grabs my collar and yells needlessly right in front of my face, like that. and I must admit that selection scene took me by surprise. Yes, he was showing signs of addiction, but damn to be able to imagine one right in front of a crisis

isn't it already impossible for Kyousuke to turn back into his normal life after imagining such scene selection on such event.
He wanst normal life but he himself is turning into not your normal person like his childhood friend minami.

I have to say that I'm not agreeing with you, I played eroge since I was 11 and haven't got any 'issues' I have kept it a secret from most of course. They're not really that different from the romance novels that most girls read anyway they can be pretty indecent too you know

A phrase I'm fond of saying about gaming applies to Kirino here: You can take the gamer out of the game, but you can never take the game out of the gamer. These things (games, anime, manga, figures, etc.) are our interest, our passtime, our passion even. They are as much a part of us and our identity as anything that's defined as "normal" by society.
Are we weird for it? Of course we are. We prefer our 2D stories and worlds to ones comprised of real people and places, and like Kyousuke said we get excited about them. Stupid-excited to the point that we sometimes just can't help ourselves. But for all the bad things we're force fed by the media and so-called "experts" about anime and games and their fandom, there is plenty of good in them too, and anything that brings people together like it did for Kirino, Kuroneko and Saori can't be all bad. Epic episode was epic. Kyousuke stole the show for the entire second half and basically said everything I've always believed about "geeky" hobbies like gaming and anime. I'm not sure I would've been quite so gung-ho about his final defense of Kirino's eroge, but sometimes when you know a punch is coming anyway the best thing to do is just clench your teeth and take the shot. Especially if it's so your little sister doesn't have to take it instead. And I wonder how many different names Kirino went through before settling on "Aniki" for Kyousuke. Appropriate enough, in my opinion. He was quite GAR there taking on his father. Kamina would've approved. 10/10 episode for me. I try not to give out 10's too often, but this episode definitely earned it. And I so knew they were going to Comiket at some point in this series. It was a foregone conclusion. I foresee hijinks and hilarity aplenty next week.

Then like I said, you're better man than me and everyone that I know. I personally would have change things back than just to have a more interesting high school life instead a college life that was way over the board in my first two years. Anyway, like you, I simply doubt there are people as pure as you that are out there and they are the majority when all the stats and studies I've ever heard and learned show otherwise. So let's just agree to disagree. Quote:
PS. just found something interesting and relevant for this discussion. The Age of Consent for sex in Japan is 13, though prefectures can have ordinances for regulation up till 18. So technically one can have real sex if he/she desires (dependent to where they live) instead of playing simple eroge. Both are legal, and who is to say those actions are wrong? After all as late as mid-1800s people are allow to merry at incredibly young age in various parts of world including U.S. Ethical norms and standards changes over time and places, it's silly to judge others just because the values one holds is differ from them.

Allow me to second DJ Lowrider's sentiments here and say 10/10 on this episode, for sure. He said pretty much everything I'd say, with one expansion.
When she did call him 'aniki' just at the end? I died. My body was NOT and never shall be prepared.

On further reflection, I do want to say that I find it silly when people judge characters for their mistakes as if that should reduce the value of the story itself. I see various comments suggesting that they feel no sympathy for Kirino or they think Kyousuke should have handled this or that differently...
Sure, no one wants to go through a story where no maturation is had and everyone just continues to bungle around like fools, but if people didn't make some mistakes and act unreasonably at times, there would be no stories worth telling. They'd all be Happy Fuzzy Bunny Time, and boring as all get-out. You may say "How do I sympathize with such people?", sitting there and considering that you (think you) do not make the kinds of mistakes the characters make. The answer is simple: by realizing that when you were their age, you definitely exhibited plenty of bad behavior and made plenty of bad choices of your own, and if you were in their situation, you would be even more prone to it. In this light, this episode felt extra-realistic to me, because Kyousuke's reaction, while coming from an admirable place and being quite GAR in its execution, also had the kinds of failings (physical reaction; brash, off-the-cuff decision about the R-18 stuff) that a guy Kyousuke's age would have been very susceptible to. If you continue to fight relating to characters by judging them against yourself (or against some standard you have of 'adult' behavior), rather than being sensitive to the story as a whole and the fact that average kids are going to act like average kids, you will never be completely satisfied with a character.

The resurrection spell that sufficed to bring me back from Aniki could not have worked if she had gone that far, for you see, my soul would have been annihilated until no shred of my being remained nor could be recalled.

I am glad she used "aniki" because that's what he deserved. You can sorta use the other ones the same way, but it doesn't quite hold the same meaning.
But it was how she said it that did us all in. The voice acting was great, animation top notch and the scene directed perfectly.
