Something I've Always Been Ashamed Of...I've always hid it from people. Took me well over a year before I could even tell my best friend.
Partly because it took me well over a year to admit to myself that what happened was not consensual.
I stayed in such denial, it kills me. It wasn't violent, the situation was more of a if I don't just let this happen, it will get violent.
It was a woman I was friends with and her husband. I'd trusted both of them.
Technically it happened twice. The first I was 17 and I was so drunk and **** all the time I don't even remember what happened all that much. I was having trouble with a boyfriend and they were all let us help you. and I went with it, and I got instantly uncomfortable..... and I said I don't want to do this. and they were like just come on and they kept saying it til I just did it, I think the only reason they stopped is because I started to cry once he was actually in me. I tried going with it and ignoring how ******* gross I felt, but I did it anyway. I wasn't living with my mom,she was even more bat **** insane than this entire situation was, so no running there and I didn't know where to go, had no phone, so I was like, if you want a place to live, you have to. But once it got to me I cried. and He pulled out and they ****** right in front of me. Now It's still a little iffy on whether I say that's rape, I know that I said no too, but this one I still haven't let go of, I guess. Hell I went into the hospital a few months later cause I had a nervous breakdown, not just them, but my life,and I hid it then, I hid it from my counselor, along with the second time. I blamed myself.
But the second time I have no problem referring to it as such. This was my second time living with them Well her, he is a convicted sex offender and isn't allowed around her kids without an adult, thank goodness. But when they finally decided to stop bailing on me and leaving me with her kids for like a week or so straight. They came back and the kiddos were with grandma. They offered to take me out to eat and we got beer and smokes. they had a hotel room (from the night before because they wanted to have alone time) and I went back with them, and **** went down from there. I went to the room with them, smoking and he was drunk, well he was an alcoholic surprise surprise he was drunk. But they kept trying to get me to get on the bed with them, and I don't know how many times I said no. I was freaking scared and nervous and I started laughing, a bad habit I wish I could change, but needless to say I said no too many times to count. I even pushed him off when he came near me, but he thought I was being playful supposedly, and I said no, I don't want to, no no no. He was stronger than I was, and reached to my legs and pulled my pants off some, I kept saying no, a freaking giggly mess, and the ***** wasn't stupid, she knew me well enough to tell I was serious and ******* scared, but did nothing but lay there. Since I was on the other side of town, i kind of gave up. He got my pants off, I tried hanging onto the chair, but I still ended up getting pulled onto the bed by him. Next thing I knew he was in me, and telling me to touch her... I did, cause honestly i don't know what would have happened if I would've tried fighting back. and then he told her to get on my face. I literally stuck my tongue out and closed my eyes til it was over, she moved when she looked down and realized.....it took him forever to just stop...I laid there and stared anywhere else that I could til he pulled out and went for her. Thank god. My next reaction I will still never fully understand, I went and grabbed a few beers instantly chugging one or two down. and took more outside of the room, and stole his cigarettes, drinking smoking and crying, great combo. I called a friend of mine, I was in tears but you'd never know it and i told him what happened, but I kept saying I wanted it. I went straight into it's my fault mode and hid it for the next year and a half. Even to this day I have a hard time talking about it. One because mine wasn't what I think of when I hear the word rape, which is why I couldn't even begin to say it, my best friend and her mother were the ones who were like that's rape. Even then it took me another year before I could talk about it and say the word rape with it. But then reason two, I didn't think anyone would believe me, I was expecting most to laugh in my face or be like well Nikki sweetie it's your fault, you had it coming. I'm just so sick of not talking about it and hiding it. It's something I've hidden from I think all of my friends on EP, and it's because I've been ashamed. I've been scared, and to be honest I'm afraid that I'l have the reactions I feared from some people on here.
I'm ashamed cause I blame myself cause I'm the one who drank to the point where I couldn't defend myself. No matter how drunk I was I did say no, but I couldn't defend myself. When someone says no, it means no. The worst part is there was 4 other guys in the other room knowing what was happening, and they didn't do anything about it. It sickens me. If I was their little sister I'm pretty sure they wouldve helped me. I'm more cautious now on how much I drink
I am sorry you had to experience some of the worst kind of people that have the gall to consider themselves part of the human race. i am a father of three daughters and i have to say as a society we suck big time when it comes to this type of behavior. Rather than wait for our slow wheels of justice to get up to speed when it comes to dealing with people of this nature i think perhaps we can do more and faster by starting at home. I personally informed my daughters that under no circumstances will we ever doubt their story and that there is no excuse for this type of behavior. My wife and i let them know that even if they feel they could of done better on their part to avoid this type of crime it still is a CRIME.I made sure that they have some training in self defense and to not hesitate when they feel it necessary. Example i used is it does not matter if it's a boyfriend that they have been intimate with previously. If they say no then it's no i don't care if they willingly went to a motel or back seat of a car if at any time they change their mind their decision is to be respected. We all know that sometimes us men are easy to turn on and sometimes slow to turn off so take time to find out about them and their character, what kind of background they were brought up in. To enforce my support of them i have told each one individually i would not hesitate going to jail if they felt that was the only way they would feel safe and have some closure of the situation. I am by no means a prude or ultra conservative. They know how i feel about any sexual activities between to consenting adults no matter what the main stream of society may think. What they do and how they do it is still their call
You have nothing to be scared of. It's your story and your truth. No one can tell you how to feel. More than a few women I know have been raped, and I know it is because we live in a rape culture in which men believe that being forceful is akin to being persistent. I'm truly sorry this happened to you. I just don't have the words.
As you commented *right on* I entered your profile and among all ur stories here is 1 without reading felt happened who made me chose my answer...
How you felt is normal process for a raped person, you now aware of that? are you ok now from this?
Honey you are not responsible and you aren't the one who should be ashamed
You were trapped in a room with them with no one to help you. And worrying about maybe becoming physically harmed was a very real threat. You should bear no guilt whatsoever from this horrid experience. We learn from the **** things that happen to us in life and hopefully move on. Surround yourself with good people and draw your strength from them. You have a great life ahead of you. Just don't let your demons get the best of you. Never be afraid to talk about the things that bother you. If there's one thing that EP has taught me, it's that there are usually many people on here who have dealt with and gotten beyond the same problems in their lives. Knowing that you are not alone can help remove the stigma of guilt while providing a support group for changes in your own life. Hit me up anytime if you want to talk about anything.
I meant what I said. You have too much potential for a great life to be saddled with guilt and depression. There are too many stories out there of people just like yourself who changed their lives for the better. For many that change began with a "**** it!" moment. They literally became so overwhelmingly fedup with their life and constant misery that they reached their breaking point. It was at thst moment that they said to themselves, "**** it! I am not going to live like this anymore!" They took charge of their life, stopped letting people and circumstances dominate their feelings, disassociated with negativity and replaced it with positivity. That change begins from within, an exercise of your free-will to change yourself.
****! That is so awful!
well it sounds like you have dealt with it.....put it away and moved on ;-)
So sorry to hear of your horrible horrible experience, and not just once, but twice! No! Means No! But I'm not sure you could've stopped it? I know I have a tendency to make sexual suggestions to and about you. I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable.
you are not the first or the last till the system steps up and deals with it many males and female are raped each year others<br />
while it is reallyhard for a female it is worst for a male to be raped as the names you are called are way worst it you tell of other find out

My daughter decided that she wanted to make something out of electronics for her fourth-grade science fair. For the project, the kids have to come up with a question for which an answer can be hypothesized, and then proven or disproven with an experiment. Elliot, on her own, came up with the question "how does electricity move in a circuit?" This is a rather big question for our limited knowledge of electronics-building in this house, and I wasn't sure whether we could actually answer the question with a few resistors and some stranded wire. ALas, her teacher approved it. Furthermore, the job was made even more complicated when Elliot's answer was "I think it is heat."
I gave Elliot a few books to read, and she took to the Make:Electronics book by Charles Platt. I had bought and/or read a few books before ordering this one and it's by far the best I've found. Apparently, Elliot agrees as she pretty much memorized the first few chapters. I can't tell you how much fun it is to sit there with a ten-year-old girl and have her thumb through a pile of resistors looking for the 220ohm one as she studies the color codes of the resistor's stripes. I showed her how to read a multimeter (something I just learned a few weeks ago), and she was off. She built a few simple circuits using the experiments in the book, trying out different values of resistors, various colored LEDs (it was cool when we burned one out and the room smelled like an electrical fire), and four AA batteries.
It wasn't long before she was working out ways to have a switch to flip between different colored LEDs, and she asked how to add a knob (potentiometer) to dim the LED. For the science fair experiment, she merely recorded the volts and amps of the circuit with various resistors, and deduced the wattage produced with these numbers. I think she realized what I was worried about with her hypothesis, which was that "I think it is heat" isn't really an answer to her initial question. The answer has to do with electrons and conductivity and positive/negative forces, but that's a little deeper than we were able to go with a Radio Shack breadboard.
I wasn't comfortable sending her to her science fair with the breadboard and all these wires and things (fourth grade boys can be jerks you know), so using one of the circuits she'd worked up, we got a small plastic box from Staples and I soldered the circuit together using a bigger battery (9v) and a stronger potentiometer (50k), along with a huge switch.
(This is the circuit before soldering it to a circuit board and putting it the little clear box to the left. The big switch flips the red or green LED on and off, and the knob thing dims the red LED.)
I was pretty excited when I turned it on last night and it worked. So excited, in fact, that I made a little movie with music from the modular synth.
Now I'm really starting to make plans for odd little projects for myself. For instance, I would like to have a small module for my synth with two clock sources, each voltage-controlled, and have a switch which can sync them or let them run free. I found some plans online for one that uses a basic 555 timer chip, so I think that might be my holiday project…

Updated to include information on Gareddu v London Underground Ltd, in which the EAT considered the issue of time off to attend religious festivals.
We discuss a number of recent cases that concern NHS employers but that could also apply more widely.
In Wasteney v East London NHS Foundation Trust [2016] IRLR 388 EAT, the EAT held that disciplinary proceedings against an employee were taken because she had acted inappropriately by imposing her religious views on a junior employee. She had not suffered unlawful religious discrimination, nor had her human right to manifest her religious belief been breached.
The employment tribunal held that a manager's use of bad language that included the words "Jesus Christ" and "God" did not harass a Christian employee.
In Heafield v Times Newspaper Ltd EAT/1305/12, the EAT held that there was no harassment based on religion or belief when an employee took offence at a colleague's comment using an expletive when referring to the Pope. In the context in which the remark was made, it could not reasonably be viewed as sufficiently offensive to amount to harassment.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal has upheld a tribunal decision that the context of a remark is important when assessing whether or not it constituted harassment.
The context in which a potentially discriminatory remark is made can be pivotal in a harassment claim, as this unsuccessful religion or belief discrimination claim brought by a Times sub-editor shows.
The Government consults on proposals to repeal the third-party harassment provisions in the Equality Act 2010 on the basis that there is no evidence that they serve a practical purpose or are proportionate for dealing with harassment by third parties.
In this tribunal decision, an employee who suffered workplace abuse successfully claimed sexual orientation and religion or belief harassment, despite being heterosexual and not declaring his religious beliefs.

What's Hot Today
High school chemistry teacher Walt got into the drugs business in the first place because he wanted to take care of his wife and kids. Last night on 'Breaking Bad' (Sun., 10PM ET on AMC), however, his illegal activities put their lives in danger. Gus has finally had enough of Walt and his brother in law Hank. He drags Walt out into the desert with a bag over his head and fires him. He also says he'll take care of the errant Hank: "You have failed. Now it's left to me to deal with him." When Walt protests, Gus delivers this chilling threat: "If you try to interfere, this becomes a much simpler matter. I will kill your wife. I will kill your son. I will kill your infant daughter." http://www.aoltv.com/2011/09/26/gus-fires-walt-and-threatens-his-family-on-breaking-bad-vide/
BREAKING BAD "Crawl Space" Season 4 Episode 11 airs Sunday September 25 at 10pm on AMC. Synopsis: Walt takes drastic action to protect his secret and Gus. Skyler's efforts to solve Ted's financial problems hit a wall. Show Summary: In Season 4, the game has changed: Walter White has lost his family and is on the verge of being caught; Jesse wants back in the business. Read More... http://www.daemonstv.com/2011/09/25/breaking-bad-crawl-space-season-4-episode-11/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daemonstv+%28Daemon%27s+TV%29&utm_content=Google+Reader
Breaking Bad has the best kind of challenge ahead of it: Next Sunday, the AMC drama must follow what we deemed to be a perfect episode . How will it do so? Via an installment titled "Crawl Space," which will focus on Skyler struggling to straighten out Ted and his financial problems; while Walt will actually come face-to-face once more with Gus. What will go down? We can only imagine. Check out the official preview now: http://www.tvfanatic.com/2011/09/breaking-bad-trailer-crawl-space/
It's just another day at the office for Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) on "Breaking Bad." Except for the part where Walt bums a cigarette, and they talk about killing Gus.In the scene from Sunday's (Sept. 11) episode, "Bug," Walt is unsurprisingly getting impatient that Jesse has not yet taken a chance at bumping off Gus (Giancarlo Esposito). But the way he expresses it to Jesse -- shoehorning it in while trying to feign a friendly conversation between colleagues for Gus' cameras -- is a little bit ha-ha funny and more than a little sad-funny. As close as they are, Walt still doesn't really know Jesse that well.Note to both Walt and Jesse: Any shooting-the-breeze conversation that includes the phrase "Don't you have enough cancer already?" and ends with "We're both dead men anyway" isn't really the best kind of small talk."Breaking Bad" airs at 10 p.m. ET Sunday on AMC.

My Reasons for Reporting This

This past year has been incredibly eventful for actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
From welcoming twin girls, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge via surrogate, to returning to the role of Carrie Bradshaw for the newest Sex and the City installment, Sarah's 2009 was full of excitement.
The 44-year-old fashion icon recently sat down with The Daily Mail's Elaine Lipworth – over 6am coffee near the Greenwich Village home she shares with husband Matthew Broderick, 47, son James Wilkie, 7, and her 6-month-old twins – to chat about life with three children, handling the spotlight, keeping her marriage strong and enjoying the chaos that is her life!
On how thrilling it is to have twin daughters: "It's wonderful, it's a blessing, we feel really privileged. It was a different experience, in obvious ways, from having James Wilkie, but it was very magical. It's brought us unspeakable joy. They are tiny little girls just figuring out who they are, and it is a delight."
On life with twins: "It's crazy all day long, but you adapt very quickly. It is daunting, yeah, but we welcome the chaos. And as they get older there will be more chaos, once they start talking and crawling around and getting into mischief. It will be insane, it will be wonderful – and it is exactly what we wanted."
On how her son is getting on with his new sisters: "Babies are not terribly interesting to a seven-year-old, but he's very proud to be an older brother – he understands how lucky he is. I think your first-born is a special experience: we have a remarkable young boy in our lives and now I feel really grateful that he has siblings to share his good fortune. I belong to a big family, so I know the value of having brothers and sisters."
On whether or not her son is aware of his parents' fame: "When we leave our house and there are photographers outside, he's certainly aware that something's different for him, but so far he's just pretty much interested in the things all seven-year-olds are interested in – primarily himself."
On how she'd feel if her children chose to go into show biz: "With so many siblings, it wasn't as if I missed out on being with other children. I had a great childhood. I don't think I would encourage my children to pursue acting until they had gone to college, but then if that's what they were to choose I would be supportive. James Wilkie doesn't show any interest so far, and the twins are not expressing anything other than a desire to be fed and have a nappy change…"
On keeping a balanced life as a mother and an actress: "I feel like I do it the same way, for better or worse, as any other working mother! At the moment the twins sleep a good six or seven hours, and wake up as late as 7am – they are being incredibly cooperative! Your children are your priority; you do everything you can to make sure they are content. And you get into bed at night thinking of all the things you did wrong, and you hope things will be better the next day. I think women tend to put more pressure on themselves to do everything exceptionally well, which is an impossibility. But most working mothers probably do a lot better than I do, with far less support than I have. So I don't think that I'm any champion. I muddle through the best that I can."
On being a city girl: "The place where I feel least stressed out is Manhattan. I'm comfortable with all the noises of the city and its accompanying humanity. It's my favourite place to be. I can't imagine a time when I would want to leave New York City. You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming. Matthew would never want to. He was born and raised here, our son was born here, and it's my home."
On whether she ever gets a chance to enjoy "ordinary domestic life": "I do, but I'm not going to lie to you, I haven't cooked recently. But when I'm not working I cook and we all eat together every single night. Roast chicken, lamb stew – I'll buy whatever looks good at the butcher's."
On spending alone time with her husband: "We don't really have any quiet time at the moment, but sometimes we'll have Saturday night together after I put the kids to bed. Any time spent alone is great, when everybody else is quiet (ha!) and asleep. That is very rare."
On keeping her marriage strong while she and her husband are both enjoying high-profile acting careers: "We don't live somewhere that shines such a strong spotlight on our marriage [she means LA]. And we live in a city where the engine is not the entertainment industry, it's art and commerce and education and museums. I think we've made choices in our life that protect us from the glare and allow the relationship to be real."

I hosted a dinner party for Eric and some of our friends this weekend. We were celebrating his birthday, and also playing some Texas Hold'em, too. Most dinner parties, I have a foodie theme so everything is paired well. My chosen food theme was Italian, and I knew that my lasagna and chicken spaghetti would be perfect for the crowd. We had about 15 or 16 guests, and both of these meals provided more than enough. We had dinner salad, french rolls, salami & cheese tray for appetizers, and plenty of wine and beer. I usually make a cake for dessert for Eric's birthday, but didn't have enough time nor did Eric want me using the oven all day long. My number one rule for cooking for several people, give yourself plenty of time, and keep it simple. Don't overthink your choices, have plenty of food, and everyone will be happy. By the end of this meal, everyone was in a delightful food coma.
Chicken Spaghetti
Adapted from Pioneer Woman Cookbook
2 cups Cooked Chicken
3 cups Dry Spaghetti, Broken Into Two Inch Pieces
2 cans Cream Of Mushroom Soup
2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
¼ cups Finely Diced Green Pepper
¼ cups Finely Diced Onion
1 jar (4 Ounce) Diced Pimentos, Drained
2 cups Reserved Chicken Broth From Pot
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
⅛ teaspoons (to 1/4 Teaspoon) Cayenne Pepper
Salt And Pepper, to taste
1 cup Additional Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1. Cook 1 cut up fryer and pick out the meat to make two cups. Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook.
2. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar.
3. Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months, cover and refrigerate up to two days, or bake immediately: 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil).
Review: This is a great casserole for entertaining a crowd...and you can always make 2 pans of it, one for now and one for later. It's so gooey and delicious, this is comfort food at home!

Measurement of Pulse Wave Velocity in Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke Patients

- How to Read a Study Record
According to the theory of wave transmission, the speed of wave transmission is dependent on the nature of the transmission medium, which is the vessel wall for pulse wave transmission. Then, the pulse wave velocity is related to the mechanical property of the vessel wall. The mechanical property of the vessel wall is determined by the texture of the vessel wall and the contraction status of the smooth muscle within the vessel wall. Because the texture of the vessel wall could not be changed in a short duration, the sympathetic nerve activity, which controls the contractibility of the smooth muscle, becomes the only determinant factor of pulse wave velocity. So, pulse wave velocity may reflect the status of sympathetic nerve activity. The purpose of this project is to use the pulse wave velocity to measure the sympathetic activity of stroke and spinal cord patients. The present project plans to measure the pulse wave simultaneously at four limbs by pressure receptors, and use the electrocardiogram as the reference to synchronize the recorded pulse wave at different vessels, using the corrected data to calculate the pulse wave velocity. With the pulse wave velocity of different vessels, we, the investigators at National Taiwan University Hospital, can understand the local sympathetic nerve activity in different diseases and different sites.
The first year, we will set up the equipment for measuring the pulse wave velocity, and then apply it to 20 healthy subjects to adjust the measurement error and ascertain the reproducibility of the machine. The second year, we will apply the measurement to 15 complete cervical cord injury individuals and 15 healthy subjects in different erected angles by a tilting table. This procedure will make us understand the response of sympathetic nerve activity to different postures in normal subjects and cervical cord injury patients. The third year, we will apply the measurement to 30 cerebrovascular accident patients to understand the change of sympathetic nerve activity after having a stroke. By comparing the clinical information, we hope to clear up the relationship between sympathetic nerve activity and pulse wave velocity.

Jason Zirinsky, Brunswick man due in court for daughter's murder
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - A Brunswick man charged with murdering his 2-month-old daughter is due in court in Frederick for what prosecutors are calling a status conference.
The hearing in Circuit Judge G. Edward Dwyer's chambers is set for Friday morning.
Lawyers for 26-year-old Jason Zirinsky have filed a motion seeking to block prosecutors from introducing evidence of Zirinsky's conviction in New Jersey for child endangerment. That 2004 case involved another daughter who suffered broken bones from what Zirinsky said was a fall from a bed.
He was charged in November in the beating death of his daughter Lexi at their home in Brunswick.
Zirinsky's trial is set for October.

Copy and paste is almost unusable, text entry fields that outstrip the screen size behave strangely, it's nearly impossible to place the cursor.... these are all very simple things that don't work properly. Storage is hinky at best, and any time I go out of mass storage mode it can take several mount/remount cycles for my gallery contents to update, the boot time is atrocious.... am I the only one noticing this?

5. Of course they do. They're union members,
and they support Obama. We'll see all the major unions lining up to endorse soon. Why would anyone be surprised? What union would endorse a Republican. Now, there may be some individual teachers who don't approve, but so what? Union leadership is elected by the rank and file. That demonstrates that the rank and file support Obama. No surprise there.

6. K&R here is the Press Release
American Federation of Teachers Endorses President Obama
For Re-election
Obama Is Only Candidate Who Will Fight to Preserve and Expand the Middle Class,
Fight for Economic Opportunity for All Americans
Los AngelesDeclaring that President Obama is the only candidate who will fight to preserve and expand the middle class, close the inequality gap and ensure everyone has a "fair shot" at success, the 1.5 million strong American Federation of Teachers announced today its endorsement of President Obama and Vice President Biden for re-election.
Biden spoke to the AFT Executive Council by telephone following the unanimous endorsement vote. While speaking to the Council, Biden reaffirmed the Obama administration's commitment to building a strong economy and a strong public school system.
"This election is a choice, not a referendum," said AFT President Randi Weingarten. "It's a choice between very different economic visions for our country, and at stake is the simple yet powerful notion that everyone deserves a fair chance to achieve the American dream."
Today's announcement kicks off an aggressive grass-roots effort by AFT members to engage their fellow members and their families in broad-based efforts aimed at re-electing Obama. AFT President Weingarten will travel to Colorado on February 9 to meet with members and kick off the AFT's election efforts in the state.
"AFT members work hard every single day to make a difference in our communities and in the lives of the people and children we serve," said Weingarten. "While we have not agreed with every decision President Obama has made, he shares our deep commitment to rebuilding the middle class and ensuring everyone has an opportunity to achieve the American dream."
Kathleen Hofmann, a music teacher in Cincinnati, is one of thousands of members committed to getting her family and co-workers engaged in this election. "I know how much elections matter to our ability to provide a quality education to our students and rebuild the middle class," said Hofmann. "I'm supporting President Obama because he is the only candidate willing to stand up for the rest of us and fight for economic fairness in our country."
The endorsement was voted on by the AFT's Executive Council following months of surveys, meetings, online forums and conversations with thousands of AFT members who made it clear that they support the re-election of Obama.

7. Thanks for posting this, Prosense. As a teacher who...
...went door to door for Kerry in 2004 and Obama in 2008 because of their vision for our country's future, foreign policy and economic policy, I will vote again for President Obama for the same reasons.
However, while I do agree with many of President Obama's goals for improving education, I have significant issues with his administration's implementation of education policy and its ignorance of the impact of such policies on public schools. I will continue to hope President Obama will actually HEAR the many teachers and educators, at all levels, who are speaking out loudly in an effort to guide the implementation of a successful education policy that will strengthen ALL our public schools...from preschool through college and beyond.
I think he deserves another four years to do that.

Sorry, Mom....I just had to do it...
To this Keith replied :" Lobsters are exoskeletal so their gussetts are naturally on the inside. The Lobster is a bottom feeder and does not compare with your Bontrager ."
I found the reply from Keith clever but I also got really angry....at this time Keith was bringing his ugliest warranty work to me as I was willing to fix anything for a bit of cash......that was, until I read his little play on words. I spent the next few weeks exchanging faxes with Keith that were to be published in Bad News , me arguing the point that Keith had many more broken bikes than I so I really doubted that my bikes were inferior. This war of words was something I was never going to win so I ended it and asked the magazine folks to not print anything I had written. I also told Keith that I would no longer work on his bikes for any amount of money.
Did I learn anything after this exchange ? Maybe , maybe not. I did realize that I can get pretty indignant when my work is called into question, unless of course I had done some shitty work.....I usually cop to that right away-it's hard to hide the obvious. I also figured out that this kind of sarcasm goes on all the time and that I should not take it personally when somebody says something in print that might make me look like a loser. Hey, Keith is entitled to his opinion regardless of how I may feel about it. There's no denying that he is a far bigger wheel in the bike business that I'll ever be.
So, you may ask-If I haven't lost you already to boredom with this bunch of drivel-What is the next joke ? -Take a look at the photo-it is my latest personal bike. I took some reject materials out of my scrap bin (stuff I would never use in a customer's bike)and did the unthinkable: I built a custom frame out of whatever didn't make the cut for a client's frame. I christened the frame and fork the "Dumpstervaagen". I'm sure that all you custom bike fans don't need any clue as to the reference in my name. The thing is, I'm not parodying any particular custom bike.....I am making a parody of all custom bikes-that includes mine as well.
The root of this parody is the notion that a certain brand of steel or a particular shape or guage is elemental in creating 'Magic' in the ride of a custom bike. While I do appreciate the fact that folks read up on tubing and get excited about air-hardening this or stainless that, when it comes down to what makes a good bike very little of this actually matters ! The 'Magic' of a custom bike is when one first rides it- and if the job is done right , there's no need to get used to the new bike....it already feels like and old friend ( To quote a rider I know).
So, that is my latest sarcastic jab at the custom bike world-I could choose any tubing from any manufacturer but what did I choose to make my very own big-tire travel bike ? Well, don't look in my garbage can as I already emptied it onto my work bench , cut and welded it together and tomorrow I'll probably ride it !

Published: May 11, 2011 at 11:15 AM"Little green men"? Sounds a bit like Toy Story.
Published: May 11, 2011 at 11:24 AMIm excited for this, but I worry about how busy it will be. Im not into the whole club scene that many are so having something else on city walk to do is a plus for me. Will definitely check this out after it opens. Wonder how expensive it will be and if they will offer AP discounts.
Published: May 11, 2011 at 11:39 AMI have no plans to visit Universal anytime soon, but this holds much appeal for me. I loooove me some putt-putt.
Published: May 11, 2011 at 2:18 PMA bore. Snore. I can't see what the excitment is about. This might be interesting to little kids. I can't see how it will interest most people.
Published: May 11, 2011 at 3:37 PMThis sounds awesome to me. Drive-in movies and haunted houses are just my cup of tea. It seems that elaborately themed mini golf courses are making a big comeback. You'd often find them in cheesy tourist towns years ago, but these new ones are slicker and much more high tech. Monster Mini Golf has a franchise that's really taking off. They started with one location and now have at least a dozen, and they just signed an agreement with KISS to make a KISS Monster Mini Golf in Las Vegas. There must be interest/money in mini golf.
Published: May 11, 2011 at 5:42 PMI can see the need for Mini Golf courses near beaches and such where there is not much entertainment, but most people don't go to Orlando to play Putt-Putt. That being said I am sure they will do a ton of business when they first open. And yes, Disney's courses are pretty sad.
Published: May 11, 2011 at 10:26 PMSurely adding mini-put-puts to the Universal Orlando complex isn't as mind blowing as the addition of Potter World in IOA, but you have to look at the addition as part of a larger overall attempt for Universal to keep people onsite. As it is, Universal Orlando is a great way to spend to days. Three days if you take a day for Citywalk. So maybe you can justify a three day stay onsite. Adding this attraction gives you something extra to do, that sounds like a lot of fun and in tune with the idea of the resorts, and helps to beef up the offerings for that 3rd day when you may not be going into the parks. If they then go ahead and add that onsite water park that has been rumored as of late, your looking at a solid 3-4 day stay, onsite, keeping more of those tourist dollars in Universals pockets. Something like this golf course may seem insignificant to some, but I think it's a very smart move for Universal, and is exactly the kind of thing that Disney does to keep people onsite no matter how innocuous of an idea the attraction may be. Also, from what the announcement is suggesting, this may be a lot of fun to experience. With todays tech, an incredibly themed mini-golf course can be just as much fun as a five minute ride on a brand spanking new darkride, except here you get to go off the rails a bit and you get to enjoy yourself for a good while longer. I'm not the biggest fan of mini-golf, but I do like to play it from time to time just to do something different. Give me a highly themed, cutting edge tech, fun and immersive put-put at one of the greatest theme park resorts in the world, and I'm pretty much making it a point to check it out at least once. Twice if you count both courses.
Published: May 12, 2011 at 7:10 AMI think this is great. Beyond being the place everyone passes through to get to UO's parks, CityWalk is a destination on its own. A great place to go on a date or with bunch of friends. Until now, once you got finished with dinner, there wasn't much to do there if you are not a drinker/club goer. Yes, there is Blue Man Group, Hard Rock Live a great movie theater, but I've never understood the draw to taking a date to a movie and BMG and a concert at HRL can be really expensive. Besides, I'd rather do something with my date that lets me get to know him better. Something that's hard to do during a movie, concert or BMG. Mini-golf is a great date/group activity. I'm just really curious to see how they get people down to the course level.
Published: May 12, 2011 at 7:19 AMI love Putt-Putt and am always disappointed that I don't get to play more of the courses in Central Florida. There are so many great themes. Sounds like these two might set a new standard. Can't wait to see it.
Published: May 12, 2011 at 9:19 AMThank god!! Finally something will help out with those Harry Potter lines!! ;)
Published: May 12, 2011 at 10:10 AMMaybe they should theme it after Harry PUTTER...
Published: May 12, 2011 at 3:41 PMAwesome 8) Putt-putt is amazing
Published: May 13, 2011 at 9:26 AMLove it!
Published: May 14, 2011 at 1:56 PMHonestly? Nothing will make me jump on a plane in California, fly to Florida, check into a hotel and adjust to the jet lag like miniature golf. Please. :-(

Per Bovada, Notre Dame would be underdog to five SEC teams
Notre Dame will only play one SEC team in the BCS national title game. But where do oddsmakers think they'd stack up against the rest of the SEC's best?
|Notre Dame and Brian Kelly would be underdogs to five of six top SEC schools. Does it matter? (US Presswire)
It's all just idle message-board fodder, of course, since Notre Dame is going to play only one SEC team this season -- the winner of Saturday's SEC Championship Game, Alabama or Georgia -- and no amount of "how would they do if they had been an SEC member?" speculation is going to change that.
But this being college football, there has been plenty of speculation on that particular topic all the same. And, if you buy the odds issued from online bookmaker Bovada on hypothetical matchups between the Irish and the six members of the SEC's BCS top-10 club, that speculation is leaning towards "well, they wouldn't be undefeated."
Here are the lines issued by Bovada for each of the top-10 SEC teams, with the assumed "vs. Notre Dame on a neutral field" after each:
Alabama -9.5
Georgia -3
Florida -1.5
Texas A&M -3.5
South Carolina +3.5
So technically, yes, the Gamecocks would be the only one of the six SEC teams to be catching points against the Irish -- a less-than-subtle suggestion on the bookmaker's part that, no, the Irish would not be expected to be undefeated if they played a full SEC schedule.
But we wouldn't advise interpreting this to mean "Notre Dame would be the sixth-best team in the SEC," either. Some points that need making:
1. If the Irish would be underdogs to five of the above teams, they'd only be meaningful underdogs to Alabama and, to a lesser extent, Texas A&M. Once a spread drops to three points or less, predicting a winner based on the spread becomes a substantially trickier proposition.
2. The Irish were just fine as underdogs this season, thank you, winning both games in which they came in as the Vegas 'dog -- at Michigan State and at Oklahoma -- by decisive margins. The two games in which they were less than a touchdown favorite (vs. Michigan and USC) resulted in Irish covers, too.
3. The spread hasn't meant that much when it comes to picking a winner in games involving two of the six SEC teams listed above. Of the nine such games, the underdog has won three, and Florida defeated Texas A&M as a "pick 'em" after spending most of that week as a slim underdog.
Put it all together -- the short lines, the Irish's success, the SEC favorites' occasional struggles -- and there's an argument to be made that if the Irish had Georgia's or Alabama's schedule, in which they played just two games against the remainder of the SEC top six, they'd have finished with just one SEC loss ... and would be right in the BCS championship mix all the same.
After all, those odds suggest that Texas A&M is the second-best team in the league, and the Aggies have that win over Alabama under their belt -- and they're still not the ones playing in the Georgia Dome this Saturday.

Supes should protect access to historic trail
April 30, 2013
One of the greatest of the many treasures in Nevada County is its own history. It's an aspect of the high quality of life we enjoy, making those day trips with the family not only ones of beauty and nature but ones that transport us back to the age that set the groundwork for the lives we live today.
One such historical transportation route is the Emigrant Trail that traverses three neighborhoods in South County. But due to complaints from landowners over public easement agreements, access has been closed to the public as its future use remains in debate.
The 6-mile segment of the Emigrant Trail that crosses through Golden Oaks, Lodestar and Sunshine Valley neighborhoods was first used in 1844 by thousands of people who made their way from the eastern regions of the U.S. to settle California.
A group of property owners argues the trail is merely a series of discontinuous easements, and they would like to have their easement agreements abandoned. This would be a travesty on many levels, especially when trail advocates have proposed addressing the connectivity issues as well as improving the trail to make it accessible to the public — the rightful owners. When these landowners, who now seek to block one of the few trails in South County, decided to purchase their property, they were aware of the existing easements.
If we begin abandoning such public easements because of vocal landowners, where does it stop? How many other trails, historical or not, could be closed to the public because adjacent property owners decide they don't want others walking on trails near their homes?
Property owners have offered a compromise in suggesting the public easement could be replaced by a historic preservation easement, which is essentially a guided tour. But why should the public give up something that is inherently its own in return for a guided tour, which someone would have to regulate or operate? That doesn't seem like much of a compromise.

Littering, fire danger and potential liability issues are other points made by the property owners in seeking to shut off access. But trails that wind throughout other portions of western Nevada County remain open to the public and provide clearly marked paths and trash receptacles.
Jaede Miloslavich, president of the Emigrant Trail Conservatory, said if the easements are upheld, a trail could be built in less than a year.
On Tuesday, the board of supervisors threw the task of compromise back at the public, asking opponents and proponents to fashion an agreement in the next 90 days. If an agreement isn't reached, supervisors say they will then make the decision.
Though compromise is often a good thing, bringing both sides of an issue to the table, it should not come at the cost of public rights.
Nevada County's board of supervisors, which represents the entire county in this debate — and all others that come before it — should also remain at the table, ensuring the community won't lose its right to access an important piece of its rich history.

Uh, did Geoff Johns just spoil the end of DC's Trinity War?
Justice League #22 comes out today, featuring the very beginning of DC's summer mega-event "Trinity War" (not to be confused with all those previously released "Prelude to Trinity War" issues). To celebrate it, DC released this Johns-narrated video which explains what "Trinity War" is... and then how it ends. The hell?

With the sun cracking through morning clouds and hot air balloons overhead, a huge flag draped in front of a handsome home on Rivera Drive was pulled to the side.
The time was 6:59 a.m. Tuesday, the 11th anniversary, to the second, of the collapse of 2 World Trade Center, the Twin Towers' "South Tower," during the attacks of Sept. 11.
The new owners of the home ---- U.S. Marine Cpl. Juan Dominguez , a triple-amputee injured during his service in Afghanistan, and his wife, Alexis ---- were transfixed by the sight.
While a trio of vocalists sang "God Bless America" nearby, the pair kept their eyes on the home.
As the song came to an end ---- with the fitting coda, "God Bless America/My home sweet home" ---- Alexis rubbed her husband's right shoulder.
Their home, a "smart home" with an elevator and computer-controlled cabinets and appliances, was built by the Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation and the Gary Sinise Foundation .
It is one of numerous dwellings the nonprofits have teamed up to build for injured veterans. More than a dozen other homes are in the pipeline, including two that will be dedicated on Veterans Day later this year.
To raise money for the project, Sinise, star of "Forrest Gump" and "CSI: New York," played a benefit rock concert on the steps of Temecula's Civic Center in March.
The foundations also received a $450,000 check from Ned Wallace , president of Wallace Air Cargo Group, and donations from Shubert Design Furniture, Standard Pacific Homes, Southwest County residents and other donors.
Dominguez thanked them all after the ceremony, as well as the Marines who made the trip to Rivera Drive, named after a passenger on United Flight 93.
"It's nice to see so many many good-looking uniforms," he said.
Later during his remarks, Dominguez said he hoped the ceremony served to shed a light on the still vital need to support the troops and the important work of the foundations.
"There are still a lot of brothers who are coming back severely wounded," he said. "Keep continuing to pray for them. ... They're the guys that give us this beautiful day, a chance to choose to be free and the life that I have."
Dominguez closed the ceremony with a song, a somber piece that included a reference to his recovery and the friends he's lost.
"I want 'em back," he sang, his voice trailing away.
At the start of the ceremony, Sinise welcomed everyone and talked about the quick turnaround for the project, which was launched in December, and the tremendous support for the effort shown by Temecula residents.
According to organizers, Sinise's concert, which included a performance by his Lt. Dan Band, raised about $130,000 ---- well above the $100,000 goal. There also was a benefit held at a local winery that raised money for the project.
"No wonder Juan chose this city for his home," Sinise said.
The timing of the unveiling held special importance for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, as its namesake, New York firefighter Stephen Siller, was killed when the South Tower collapsed.
John Hodge, Siller's cousin, told the audience of hundreds the story of Siller's heroism, which included running back into the city with his gear on his back after he was stopped by a traffic jam.
He then discussed the need for continued support of the nation's injured veterans, a group that includes at least 50 triple amputees and five quadruple amputees.
By building the homes, Hodge said, the foundations hope to give Dominguez and the other veterans a sense of normalcy.
"We feel we are returning his life back to him," he said.
The route to Dominguez's home was lined with U.S. flags festooned with yellow ribbons and he was escorted to the ceremony in a motorcade that included a fire engine.

Last week I wrote a post entitled "Know Your VC's Magic Number" in which I said,
"At the heart of the issue is that different VCs are managing different sized funds – so the appetite for how much capital they would like to invest in a company over its lifetime varies accordingly… In determining if a venture firm is a good fit for an entrepreneur (and vis versa), every first meeting should include a brief discussion about fund size, typical initial investment size, and the magic number of how much the VC would ideally like to deploy over the life of a company."
Two interesting related blogs entries surfaced (to me) since then about this subject that I thought are worth highlighting. The first, Jeff Bussgang's piece "Size Matters" adds some additional color and historical perspective to topic,
"…a critical thing for an entrepreneur when fundraising is to find a firm that's going to fit their capital profile. After all, if a VC is trying to force too much money down the entrepreneur's throats, it will mean more dilution than they'd like. And not having deep pockets means there's a risk of getting caught short just at the moment when a few extra million might be needed to get to the next level. Thus, the Goldilocks Rule applies to VCs and fund size: not too big, and not too small, but just right."
In addition, Jeff clarifies that it is the size of the current fund that actually matters in how much capital that a VC would ideally deploy,
"The nature of that sweet spot comes down to the size of their current fund, not their total capital under management, for all the reasons discussed above. Thus, always ask a firm what their current fund size is, not what they have under historical management."
The second related piece was written by Christian Mayaud, in which he argues that not only is there a magic number for VCs, but also a magic number for entrepreneurs. They will act differently in the face of risk depending on their progress to date in achieving an ideal "magic" net worth number,
"If you look at the professional life of a typical successful entrepreneur, their ability to tolerate personal risk varies over time… [It is] something an entrepreneur should become conscious of because his personal risk tolerance profile will color his judgement over the lifetime of his career… Young recent college graduates behave differently from middle-aged first time entrepreneurs, serial entrepreneurs behave differently from first-time entrepreneurs, senior managers behave differently than founders, etc., etc. — in part, due to the existence of their Personal Risk Tolerance Curves and where they are along them."
The question I would raise is if an entrepreneur's (or anyone's for that matter) magic net worth number shifts over time. I agree that an inexperienced entrepreneur may see things differently than one who has a few successes under his or her belt, but don't those successes broaden the view of what is in fact potentially achievable? Moreover, I would also maintain that entrepreneurs specifically are not just driven by extrinsic motivations, but also by intrinsic ones as well. There are often deeper reasons than financial ones why an entrepreneur – especially a serial entrepreneur – is willing to take significant risks with both his/her private wealth and career. To overlook those considerations is simplifying the issue to a certain degree. That being said, Christian is correct in stating that VCs should and do bear in mind an entrepreneur's situation when assessing an investment opportunity.

Lynn Bartels at The Spot digs into reports from Loveland Friday where CD5 GOP delegates heckled Jane Norton when she got up to speak. Bartels talks to former Senate minority leader turned campaign manager (?) Josh Penry, who gives a revealing version of events:
"Jane gets up, waits, then starts speaking over them," Penry said.
"A couple keep shouting, and Jane presses on. Jane goes into her spiel about what she's going to do in Washington. Repeal Obama care. Cut discretionary spending by 20 percent. Drill ANWR. Drill the Roan Plateau. No amnesty. Win the War on Terror.
"And by the end of the speech, the whole crowd was cheering."
What Jane is "going to do" in Washington is almost wholly unrealizable. None of it is a plan and none of it will happen, except maybe "no amnesty," which beyond working as stump talking point addresses the immigration problem how? This is beyond the Party of No; it is the Party of No Ideas. And the whole crowd was cheering. And the band played on.

At a high-level meeting on the Convention on Biological Diversity that ended on Friday, India asked rich countries to double biodiversity aid to poor ones by 2015. To many, this may seem one more instance of its doublespeak on matters such as climate change, biodiversity protection and environmental sustainability.
It isn't. India perhaps has the most powerful environment ministry in the developing world, and the environmental wing of its civil society, too, is very powerful. The charge against India has to do with the country's hard negotiating position in the international arena in the face of rich countries that refuse to do their bit.
The gap between what the country does domestically—decisive interventions in favour of environmental concerns—and what it does globally has to do with its inability to end a polarizing environment versus growth debate, and the battles that accompany it. This debate is mostly sterile: the sooner it ends, the better.

It's Danica Patrick and she's in the buff!
Well, not really, but Patrick appears to have muscled up for the 2014 version of the GoDaddy.com Super Bowl commercial. Or is that just a body suit she's wearing? (Answer: It is.)
Whether you like the look or not, Patrick is getting plenty of attention for it across the social media landscape. And it continues what has been a busy offseason for the driver of the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 10 Chevrolet.
Patrick already hosted the American Country Awards, won USA Today's Best Couple with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and threw an Anchorman 2 party for her team, and it's not even Christmas yet.
Makes one wonder what she'll have up her sleeve next, besides some totally ripped triceps, that is. Would Arnold be jealous of this look? Maybe, take a gander yourself:

Report a noisy vehicle report online.
Report motor vehicle pollution on the go using Report to EPA from your mobile.
Environment Line's experienced staff will take your report by phone (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).
The EPA is working to minimise community exposure to motor vehicle noise. By reporting noisy exhaust, you help ensure vehicle owners are made aware of the disturbance caused by their motor vehicles, understand the noise regulations and know what to do to repair the vehicle.
For a noisy exhaust report to be complete, you will be required to provide the following information:
Reports must be submitted within 14 days of observing a noisy vehicle. The EPA can only take action on reports of noisy vehicles where the source of the noise is the vehicle exhaust. For more information about reporting other types of noisy vehicles, contact Environment Line.
Your health and safety are more important than reporting a noisy vehicle. Never use your mobile phone while driving. Pull over or ask a passenger to record the details. If recording the details affects your concentration or driving, wait until next time to report a noisy vehicle. If a noisy vehicle is on the road, it is only a matter of time before it is observed and reported by another member of the public, the police or an authorised officer.
If the observed vehicle's details are matched with a vehicle registration, the EPA will issue an advisory letter to the owner which suggests that the vehicle be checked and advises of the penalties associated with noisy exhaust. The EPA may take further action, depending on the vehicle's or owner's history.
The Protection of the Environment (Noise Control) Regulation 2017 makes it an offence to use a vehicle on the road that emits excessive exhaust noise.
The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 gives the EPA the authority to take action against vehicles with noisy or defective exhaust.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Santa Barbara, CA, United States, 2010/10/06 - Investec has raised $130 million for acquisition of grocery and drug anchored centers located in the coastal region of California. Investec currently owns and manages over two million square feet and $650 million of shopping centers in California.
Investec, specializing in the acquisition, operation, management and leasing of retail properties in California, is pleased to announce the firm has raised $130 million for acquisition of grocery and drug anchored centers located in the coastal region of California. Investec currently owns and manages over two million square feet and $650 million of shopping centers in California.
According to Ken Slaught, Investecs founder and president, Investec will continue its focus on best-in-class neighborhood shopping centers, anchored by dominant grocers and pharmacies."
Slaught is a strong believer in California retail. We have been investing exclusively in California retail since 1988, so we are not surprised by the recent 'flight to quality' into these very markets on which many of our competitors are now focusing," notes Slaught. "The coastal markets of California are home to some of the most desirable real estate demographics in the country with high barriers to entry. From San Diego to Northern California, our neighborhood shopping centers provide our investors with extremely strong, risk adjusted returns in all economic cycles.
While experts disagree over the current health and prognosis of the commercial real estate market in general, and some segments of the retail sector in particular, Slaught prefers to look at the big picture. Over time, I am convinced these coastal markets of California will continue to thrive as they have for over the past 20+ years. Our properties, and those we seek to acquire, satisfy essential demand in local markets for products and services offered by a mix of national and local retailers. Investec has done very well by sticking to this disciplined approach. Our investors have reaped the rewards," says Slaught.
In February 2010, Investec acquired a 100,000-square-foot Ralphs and CVS/pharmacy anchored center, The Plaza at Sunbow in San Diego, for $21 million. In October 2009, Investec completed the development of Gene Autry Plaza, a new $17.5 million 60,000-square-foot shopping center in Palm Springs, Calif., and celebrated the grand opening of the first ground-up Smart & Final Extra! store in California. The center also includes Staples and 11,500 square feet of shop space.
Investecs Director of Acquisitions Grant Harris reports that Investec is currently negotiating the acquisition of two retail properties and is actively seeking additional opportunities. Our ability to efficiently execute property investigations and close quickly with 'all cash' provides Investec with a significant advantage over most other buyers, while at the same time providing sellers with transaction confidentiality and surety of execution, Harris adds.
For more information about Investecs acquisition criteria, please contact Grant Harris at 805-962-8989 x343.
About Investec
Since its inception in 1983, Investec has handled more than one billion dollars in real estate transactions. Having thrived in one of the nations most competitive real estate markets for more than 27 years, Investec remains ideally positioned for continued growth in this dynamic and challenging industry during turbulent economic times. Investecs current portfolio includes more than three million square feet of commercial properties under management in California including shopping centers, office buildings and self-storage facilities. Investecs acquisition and development strategy is primarily focused on necessity-based, recession-resistant market/drug anchored neighborhood shopping centers.
