One afternoon several of us gathered for a study session where a few of the students brought vegan snacks and refreshments. I was already a vegetarian, so I was excited about exploring vegan food. They served a disturbingly gray mock chicken salad, carrot and celery sticks, some sugar-free fruit juice cookies, and a funky smelling "revitalizing" tea. Never had I more intensely craved a Dunkin' Donuts hazelnut coffee and sesame seed bagel.
I chose the cookie. It looked good, all chunky and nicely browned. I took a bite. It was chalky and dry. I chewed and chewed. I tried to swallow, but I couldn't. It was glued to the roof of my mouth. I grabbed a cup of the revitalizing tea to try to wash it down. Nothing happened. I thought, I'm gonna choke to death at a study group eating a vegan cookie. Damned vegans.
Eventually I managed to swallow it. 16 years later, I've learned that vegan food can be delicious, and while I'm no longer a vegetarian, I still love eating vegetarian and vegan dishes. So I'm happy to add Robin Asbell's colorful new cookbook, Big Vegan (Chronicle Books, September 2011), to my shelf.
Asbell has created 350 meat-free, dairy-free, 100% delicious vegan recipes which she organized into categories including Breakfast, Breads, Salads, Soups, Main Dishes, Desserts, and more.
Though Asbell states the benefits of adopting a vegan diet -- it's healthy, it doesn't harm animals, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint -- she isn't preachy. She advocates veganism more for its health benefits than for its political ideals.
Whether you're a veteran, newbie, or part-time vegan, Asbell's book will suit your needs. She covers all the basics of cooking vegan, including special ingredients to buy such as nutritional yeast, seitan, and soy and tips for successful vegan baking. She also includes a lengthy section on the nutritional components of a vegan diet.
Asbell's recipes are inspired. Who wouldn't want to wake up to an Almond-Apple-Date Breakfast Burrito or a bowl of Fruit-Sweetened Chai-Spiced Granola with Pecans? How about sitting down to a dinner of Harvest Vegetable Stew served in Mini Pumpkins or a dish of Corn and Cauliflower Stir-Fried Noodles with Peanuts?
Asbell pays homage to many global cuisines. From Greek Beet and Orange Salad and Tuscan Potato Gnocchi to Tibetan "Beef" Fried Noodles and Szechuan Eggplant with Peanuts, you'll find bright, tempting worldly flavors. Some ingredient lists are long, but most are short, and all recipe instructions are lucidly written and easy to follow.
The book's design reminds me of a Mollie Katzen book, clean, simple, and inviting. Kate Sears's photographs are beautiful; I only wish there were more of them.
Give-Away Time!
I adore this zesty Mango Jicama Salad with Lime Dressing and Pepitas. It's a symphony of colors, textures, and flavors that leave you refreshed and satisfied.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The 30-year mortgage is a U.S. consumer institution, affording families a path to full homeownership at reasonable monthly payments (although banks and lenders make out like bandits on the high interest payments.) But Approved Mortgage, in Orange City, Fla., says big changes are coming in the form of two congressional reform bills that could put the 30-year mortgage out to pasture for good. Whether that outcome is good for homeowners is debatable, as a company statement calls the two bills a " growing concern " for potential homebuyers. The Housing-Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act of 2013: Also known as the Corker-Warner Pan, this bill proposes to eliminate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and generally kick direct government involvement with mortgage loans to the curb. The bill would give private lenders license to run the nation's mortgage system -- not just as loan originators, but also as issuers of mortgage-backed securities. The Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners Act: Also known as the PATH Act, this mortgage reform bill ends the bailout of Fannie and Freddie, which Congress estimates at $200 billion, and phases out the entities within five years. It also calls for a reduction in the government-sponsored enterprise/Federal Housing Authority loan limits, and gives residential borrowers more mortgage loan options. Here's where the elimination of the 30-year mortgage comes into play. Both bills knock Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac out of the equation and the resulting loss of loan guarantees would change the loan market in a major way. As Approved Mortgage puts it:
Eliminating Fannie and Freddie would mean that conventional loans, like the 30-year mortgage, would no longer be guaranteed. What that means for consumers is that long-term, fixed-rate loans would become too expensive to be an option. And with traditional, fixed-rate mortgages comprising the majority of the market, a loss of guarantee could be disastrous.

Beginning March 4, all visitors to the La Plata County Courthouse, not just those visiting the courtroom, will be subject to a security screening process before they enter the building.
According to new security measures announced Friday, all visitors to the building will be required to enter through the southwest doors near the clock tower, where they will be screened by a metal detector staffed by a Sheriffs Office deputy.
Until now, the metal detector was used only at the entrance to the courtrooms on the second floor of the building.
The secured entrance will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. All other doors to the building will be locked.
All bags, purses and other small items will be screened, as well. Cellphones and other electronic devices will be allowed into the building, but the Sheriffs Office reserves the right to refuse any objects deemed a security hazard, according to a news release. Even those with a concealed-weapon permit may not bring a gun into the building, the release said.
People who must visit the courthouse after 5 p.m. for special meetings or events will be able to enter but will not be screened, said Dan Bender, spokesman for the La Plata County Sheriffs Office.
The new security measures were the result of much discussion among the county, Sheriffs Office and 6th Judicial District Court, sheriffs Capt. Garrett Valencia said in the news release.
The purpose is to provide reasonable safety and security for employees and visitors, he said.
Public comment was not solicited in making the decision because it is a best-practice and security issue from Sheriffs Office perspective, Assistant County Manager Joanne Spina said.
The cost for the new screening process will be about $14,500, Spina said. Additionally, county commissioners approved $51,300 in the 2013 budget to add one deputy, who will be assigned to the courthouse.
La Plata Countys new security measures are tighter than surrounding counties. Archuleta and Montezuma counties have metal detectors only at the entrance to county courtrooms, not the entire courthouse, county officials said.
Across the state, though, more counties are stepping up their security and screening procedures, said Eric Bergman, policy and research supervisor at Colorado Counties Inc.
It is a trend were unfortunately seeing in a lot of counties based on issues in the past couple of years, Bergman said. Of course, there is an inconvenience factor, but at the end of the day, they are trying to keep everybody safe.

Comic 627: Megan, Who's Your Daddy?
71 comments:
The chart includes an "ask for help" option -- what do you think the xkcd reader on the answering end is going to do? Link you to the damn chart!ReplyDelete
This is probably true, and while your criticism is accurate, it still got a smile out of me. I don't have any relatives who are tech-inept enough to need this, which is probably fortunate for both me and them.
I think my main problem with the comic is that the advice is so general and so unhelpful that anyone tech-un-savvy to need this sort of advice is probably too tech-un-savvy to actually derive any sort of benefit from the flowchart (even if they DID manage to get a copy printed).ReplyDelete
Yeah, the Megan thing, anyone else think Randall is fucking with us?ReplyDelete
The advice isn't supposed to be tech-savvy. The whole joke is that we don't actually know what the hell we're doing; we just hit random buttons and hope for the best. Or at least I do.ReplyDelete
That's kind of inconsistent with his recommendation to distribute this comic to everyone who needs tech help, because it's how people actually troubleshoot.ReplyDelete
Besides, I'm not sure I agree that you don't know what the hell you're doing. Just because you haven't memorized the feature list of every program someone might be using doesn't mean your tech support is random guessing. Even just going by the flowchart, it's not random guessing.
I'm also not sure what you mean by "The advice isn't supposed to be tech-savvy."
- AnonymousAugust 23, 2009 at 10:45 PM
Urgh, so much text outside the damn flowchart? Also, while it seems he tries to actually make a useful flowchart, rather than one that is truely funny, this one would never work as it is way too general. Most of the people I know that can't work computers well do this exactly, and it ends up with them inside strange menus or features that they fiddle with in order to fix/do a certain thing, and they always end up having messed up whatever they are working with rather badly. Yet, all the forumites are swooning.ReplyDelete
The alt text is Randy, calling Megan up and pretending to be her dad. And he secretly dreams of them having a relationship where he says stuff like "Who's your daddy?"ReplyDelete
This comic reads like a pale shadow of the old XKCD comics where Randall actually came up with some pretty funny self-reflective insights on computing. This seems like a kind of weak throwback, though... maybe it's just that it's tainted by how crap XKCD has become? Maybe I would've laughed if it was still in the 200's or something.ReplyDelete
Also, what I totally hate about it is that it basically just tells people to print it out and hang it up in the office or next to their family's screens and such. That trend was annoying enough when readers kept doing it endlessly on their own, but just flat out telling them to do it? Christ.
Finally, I agree with Jay. Everytime Megan shows up nowadays I just read it as Randall fucking with our minds. (GOOMH!) If that's true, I actually think that's a pretty funny thing of him to do.

Y'know what?ReplyDelete
This comic was not so bad. I can relate.
And I also wouldn't have minded the alt-text if xkcdsucks hadn't conditioned me to scoff at every mention of the name "Megan".
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 2:39 AM
Thank god I don't consider myself a "computer person." I can manage just fine without any help whatsoever, but I'd rather be a rube than in the same company as Randall. When will nerds learn that nerd hierarchy is lame even at the top?ReplyDelete
I think it's helpful to assume the whole concept of this strip is purely facetious, but then, that might as well be just wishful thinking: most of the "hardcore" fanboys will be taking this very, very serious. Of course, the "tech experts" the comic refers to will relate to the flowchart, but not the un-tech-savvy users! They'll look at it and still not have a clue: it's HEARING the advice that makes the difference. So, yeah, I think it's facetious. It's sort of funny, I guess, but basically a weak throwback to the previous, funnier tech related comics.ReplyDelete
Also sorry for being an asshole yesterday. I don't know what was wrong with me. I guess I just needed some sort of release; stuff you don't need to know about, but that still doesn't justify it. I'm sorry.
Tech Support Cheat currently 9th on trending topic list and either rising or falling or staying where it is.ReplyDelete
This comic sucked. Not funny, not insightful, and no art. The whole flowchart thing is a beaten horse already. Didn't he once made a comic that made a fun of flowcharts (something like "How to read flowcharts (in the form of flowchart)"? Fuck flowcharts.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 4:50 AM
It's the first one I've been able to even vaguely relate to for a long while, so... at least I smiled.ReplyDelete
Not thinking, Jay. Hoping.ReplyDelete
I disagree with the premise, by the way. Just the other day my printer wouldn't print, and my mother asked for help. Turns out the USB cable had gotten unplugged- no amount of random button clicking would have solved it. Two weeks before that my HDD got a bad sector in some critical place so the computer would freeze when booting. This chart doesn't cover getting a Ubuntu LiveCD which you happened to have close by, booting from that, getting the ethernet link and modem to work with Linux, getting on #windows and asking for help (which involves describing the problem -possible/likely hardware failure, which is not an obvious possibility unless you know what hardware failure looks like- and the UBCD), and then being able to follow the instructions.
Hell, the way my scanner works, it's very doubtful you'd figure out how to use it unless you know what you're looking for.
I guess the problem is "button that looks like its relevant". Experience makes an enormous difference in knowing what is relevant, what isn't, what will (reversibly or no) screw up your computer, and what should not screw it up but might anyway due to possible far reaching consequences of your problem, bugs in software, undocumented limitations and such.
And all that aside, your friend/neighbor/relative/loved one has been at this for a while, is frustrated, and really needs to do something much more important than playing with the menu items. Even if it is more efficient in the end, shoving this chart in their face is just mean. It'll probably either take you a minute to fix, or is too difficult for them to figure out on their own anyway.
Lastly, this was the case back in the Win 98 days. Nowadays mainstream software is very user friendly and most people are fairly computer literate, or at least not nearly as liable to panic. Anyone who is confused is probably doing some complicated stuff (IP forwarding, dual boot, FTP upload, monitored network internet access) and should know what they're doing.
When was the last time you ever heard any man address himself as "your father" to his own daughter? Nobody would ever do that.ReplyDelete
My father does, sometimes. But not in English. And I'm not his daughter, for that matter.ReplyDelete
The forum thread for that comic. It's depressing. Urgh, goodness, that place is making me ill.ReplyDelete
I thought flow charts were great when they were overly complicated and full of throw away jokes. Like Stephen Colbert's 'Are you gay?' flow chart in I am America (And so can you!)or some of the flow charts on Yahtzee's website. But both of the xkcd flow charts have been short and unfunny.ReplyDelete
The again, I thought xkcd was a humor comic, so I guess I'm 0/2 today.
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 6:14 AM
I think we all want Randall to tell us one thing: WHO THE HELL IS MEGAN?ReplyDelete
Honestly, it's getting to be the creepiest running gag in mainstream webcomics.
This comic sucked. Not funny, not insightful, and no art. The whole flowchart thing is a beaten horse already. Didn't he once made a comic that made a fun of flowcharts (something like "How to read flowcharts (in the form of flowchart)"? Fuck flowcharts.ReplyDelete
He made a flowchart titled "How to Make Flowcharts" I think, but I don't think it made fun of flowcharts.
Also, I really don't think Randall believes that this is facetious or ironic. I think he just thinks that this is good advice, as evidenced by the utter sincerity exhibited by him and every forumite.
I feel like most of the criticism leveled at this strip is actually directed at the fans.ReplyDelete
I'll be the first to admit that xkcd used to be a thick vein of comedy and insight, while lately finding the precious ore requires a lot of sifting. But this is a little bit of what I've been sifting for over the past month or so.
Megan-ing aside, there was a solid punchline in the title text; don't be a curmudgeon for the sake of it. Instead, save your hate for a strip that deserves it: maybe Wednesday's?
That said, if you're unhappy about the size or nature of the comic's fanbase, well, that's a different, larger issue.

Yep, I'm starting to believe that. But I swear, if I saw a similar joke in ANY other webcomic, I'd be 100% sure it was irony.
Megan-ing aside, there was a solid punchline in the title text; don't be a curmudgeon for the sake of it. Instead, save your hate for a strip that deserves it: maybe Wednesday's?ReplyDelete
That punchline was only "solid" because it's so ancient and well-trod that it's been compressed into a thin, sturdy disc. It also feels more like Randall's cringing, self-abnegating after-the-punchline pun-acknowledgments, where he goes "Yeah, guys, I know it sucks dehh hur hur," than a joke.
I kind of found this a bit condescending and over-simplifying the issue. I mean, most people I know who ask me for computer help know that I just poke around the program, but they're usually terrified of breaking something or trying the wrong thing and not being able to back out of it.ReplyDelete
Word is a great example of where just trying random things can monumentally fuck up your document. Oh shit, what is this table doing here? Oh, I'll just hit delete. WTF, why is it not deleting the table but ALL OF MY TEXT? UHH, ctrl+z. WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TWO TABLES NOW?

I didn't hate today's comic. I thought it was sort of applicable, and if not interesting, at least it sort of made me think "Hah, always happens to me."ReplyDelete
However, I hated the alt text.
Really, Randall? LET MEGAN GO.
My dream is that eventually Megan will be recognized as Randall's style just as much as his shitty art is. "Dude, stop making Megan jokes. She's just part of the comic, like the art or the intelligence."ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 8:53 AM
"art"? "intelligence"? "comic"?ReplyDelete
If you are referring to xkcd, you have defined your terms very loosely.
I think that might have been the joke. Especially since he called the art shitty like a sentence before.ReplyDelete
I'm almost as ironic as Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.ReplyDelete
- DefiantAugust 24, 2009 at 9:08 AM
It wasn't funny and it was a pain in the ass to figure out. The main problem is that he shows the main problem to be "find a menu item or button". Usually that's not what the problem is. The problem is that something's not working right. Maybe I'm just not getting it.ReplyDelete
I've fixed plenty of computers in my lifetime so far, and the googling was never related to a "button". Not only is this unfunny, I think it's stupid.
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 9:12 AM
I'd comment more on the comic, but it's all been said already. While the comic is somewhat true, there is a degree of computer literacy needed before you are capable of making effective educated guesses and taking the right measures to make sure you don't destroy your work in the process of looking for the fix you need.ReplyDelete

god damn it, Lifehacker.ReplyDelete
Never heard about that Lifehacker. Thanks for your introduction, I have a new entry on my list of Websites I WON'T Check Out Further.ReplyDelete
I hate that snob attitude from the "tech-savvy". Hate it, hate it, hate it. Mostly because I am fairly "tech-savvy" and I've been asked for help by relatives, relatives of relatives and relatives of relatives of relatives; and even when I don't feel like doing it, at least I *understand* their problems. Meanwhile, those "passive-aggressive" "help" sites often don't cover up the cases when, for example, I'm having some problem with Linux, I go on Google to search for an answer, and get pages and pages of other problems that are only MARGINALLY related to mine. No matter how I try, I can never be specific enough. How's THAT for the magic of Google, huh? Gonna make me a snarky website about that?
Also, not that I want to go on linguistic picking again, but is anyone else bothered about the use of "Google" as a verb?
"Google" as a verb doesn't bother me at all. The word itself was created as a brand name; why should we get all crotchety about a word that only even came into existence a few years ago?ReplyDelete

Would have been much better without the creepy reference to "Megan" in the alt-text. I sometimes feel like I'm reading what will one day become evidence as a stalker's papertrail when I'm reading XKCD.ReplyDelete
I have it on good authority* that Google are a tad narked about it.ReplyDelete
Eh, this is basically exactly my experience being the 'computer person' at home, except the 'problem' is usually so basic I don't even get to the Google step. There really are plenty of people who don't think to poke around in the menu options for some reason, or are too scared to or something. Past problems have included:ReplyDelete
How to get the text of a Word document into an e-mail(Copy/Paste)
"Everything suddenly disappeared when I was typing"(Edit/Undo)
The screensaver came on
That's right, my mother will scream for me to drop what I'm doing and 'fix the computer' before she even does as much problem-solving as moving the mouse.
Anyways, the "poke around" premise is solid, at least in my experience. The execution could've been better, maybe with boxes like "See if everything's plugged in" or "Look in the Recycle Bin"
Maybe there could've been a step like "Isolate the problem by checking the functionality of component parts" or something like that.ReplyDelete

My thinking was more that nobody would ever say "Hey Megan, it's your father", when they could just say "Hey Megan, it's Dad". Or, more likely, "Hey Megan, it's me".
Chalk "Hey Megan, it's your father" up with "Happy wedding day, sis!!" in terms of bad writing.

I'm sure that people might say it, it just seems unlikely, in the same way that, although somebody might call his younger cousin "little cuz", he almost certainly wouldn't. He'd call him Leroy, or whatever his name is.ReplyDelete

I didn't mean that NOBODY would talk like that, just that it's slightly lazy writing. But hey, maybe I'm just expecting too much from a webcomic.

I agree that Randall has had horribly lazily written "stilted" dialogue before ("stupid uterus", etc.). I just don't think this is one of those times. I don't know for sure what it is that makes you feel that the dialogue is stilted in any way, but here are my points:ReplyDelete
It's possible this is a difference between the way British people talk and the way American people talk (and I'm not saying I know this for sure), although I would say that in both cultures, people tend to do what Russell describes in that video, ie wait for their turn to talk without really listening to the other person.
Furthermore, as someone with a hearing loss, I find it slightly easier to understand "Hey, it's your father" than to understand "Hey, it's dad". More syllables means you have a better chance of distinguishing the words.
But, of course, who gives a shit that there really are people who speak this way, in supremely normal scenarios, without the flow of the conversation feeling stilted or weird at all? It's always gotta be RANDALL'S BEING A FUCKING LAZY JACKASS, even when he's not.

I too felt like the Megan bit was a deliberate shoutout to xkcdsucks--don't we all feel so special?
Also this reminds me a lot of a flow chart that already is hanging around many offices... basically it says the same sort of thing but is more general, like "did it work --> no --> kick it --> how about now" etc.
And fernie, it's okay to be an asshole. You seem to forget often that you are on the Internet.

Hunting Electronics
For the Trek: Shop Hunting Electronics & Hunting GPS Units
Equip yourself with hunting electronics to help improve your success in the field.
Never get lost in the woods again with hunting GPS, and enhance your views with hunting spotlights, hunting flashlights and hunting headlamps.
Do your pre-season scouting with new trail cameras, and capture every second of your adventure with action cameras and GoPro® cameras.
Two-way radios or walkie-talkies with maximum power let you keep in touch across great distances and are especially useful in spots where cell phone service is spotty. If you're hunting for treasure, not animals, shop innovative metal detectors.
Find the hunting accessories that are rough and ready for your outdoor adventure. Look for electronics that are waterproof and shock-proof.
You go to areas with no trails, and must return to locations that are not easy to find. Be prepared with hunting GPS units from top brands like Garmin®, Magellan® or S4 Gear®. Consider a hunting GPS with custom-map compatibility so that you can create maps tailored to your unique needs. GPS units with electronic compass and barometric altimeter features are also extremely beneficial to have while on the hunt.

Some navigation devices and two-way radios have built-in NOAA weather updates that can give you a heads up when unpredictable, hazardous weather is heading your way.
Practice with your hunting electronics before hitting the woods. Once you get the feel of the buttons and the functionality of your electronic, you'll be on your way to thoroughly enjoying and exploring the outdoors.
Capture every second of your journey on land or in water with wearable, mountable and waterproof GoPro® cameras.
Shop hunting spotlights, hunting flashlights and hunting headlamps with features to create a less startling light so you can spot your prey without scaring them away.

In an effort to simplify the pricing structure for golfers, Foothills Park and Recreation District will go to a single fee for both district and non-district patrons.
"The key to this decision is one word," said Tom Woodard, Foothills director of golf. "Efficiency."
Currently there are separate golf costs for juniors, seniors, district seniors, adults and district adults. That can cause confusion for golfers who simply want to enjoy a few holes at either Foothills Golf Course or The Meadows Golf Club.

1) i thought the newest SMBC Theater, "Ultimate Staring Contest" was better than the first four - I was astounded at how much they made the live-action skit feel like a cartoon (it was the labels on everything that made me think this, then, spoiler alert, the exploding head). But I thought it was funny, in cartoony, loony-tunes sort of way.
2) i took a picture for you guys. Specifically, for Amanda. Amanda: I don't know why you want to rebel against me but consider this picture a plea for you to stick around.
update: Hm, Dragon whatever hasn't sent me a post yet. Come on, Dragon whatever! I'm going to assume he is dead, and, rather than rely on the kindness of strangers, like last time, I'm just going to write the damn post myself. I'll add yours if you send it though. if you are even alive.
so what do we have today.
And today is no exception. Testing out possible flight conditions on other planets/moons is awesome. I can see that easily. But like he so often does, the punchline is fucked up quite badly.
The joke, as I see it, is in the similarity between ancient greek guy Icarus trying to fly, and falling and failing, and Our Hero, trying to fly, and failing, and specifically, the physical humor of the modern day Icarus having his work (not to mention himself) come crashing down to earth. That the well read reader makes this connection in his head is the source of laughter, if such laughter occurs.
The issue is that this connection should come after you read the end of the comic. The punchline should not be in the third-to-last panel. For those people who did not get the reference to Icarus, the joke is merely in the "HEAT LAMP" shot, which is also not the last panel. The last panel that we get is the dude falling; which really is just a forgone conclusion after the two previous panels.
A much better - but still not best - variation would be Way Walker's edit that he links to below. I would still add one thing though - the Greek Mythology line (or some reference to Icarus, perhaps Randall's original phrasing was a bit awkward) should be added, by the off-panel woman, in the final frame. Then you get the joke at the end, and it makes sense. I also like the elegant concision of merging the top three panels with the wide white spaces of the big bridge shot.
Oh and come on: Icarus's problem was that he used wax, which melts at a fairly low temperature. Hot glue is hardly the same - sure, it can melt, but if you've ever used a hot glue gun and accidentally touched the hot part you know just god damn fucking hot it has to be, and how at that heat Our Hero has bigger problems than falling a few feet, like having his skin burn off. God knows how Mr. Hat is surviving operating what is essentially a small star. Mr. Hat appears to be less into greek mythology and more into being a giant douche.
Hypothetical question: If the main character had succeeded is flying, what would he have done with that power? Does he have a way to get to Titan and try it out there?
not related to anything update: You know what I just remembered? Back when I started reading webcomics, I could list the ones I read, all four of them, in a nice little rhyming couplet. It was -
Dinosaur Comics and xkcd
Perry Bible Fellowship and Married to the Sea
isn't that INTERESTING?

If you live in Australia, you've probably seen the furore whizzing around social media in the past two days.
The Courier Mail, 16 January 2013 reports:
"A mother of three has been forced to leave a public pool in tears after staff insisted she stop breastfeeding her 11-month-old baby..."A staff member came up to me and told me I wasn't allowed to feed there, that I had to refrain from feeding out in the open,'' Ms Webster said."Can you believe this is still happening? Right here in Australia, in 2013. For crying out loud!
"I said I was sure it was illegal to tell me to do that but she said it was a grey area...and had to insist I didn't feed there.''"Grey area" my ... elbow. What that staff member did? Absolutely illegal in Australia.
Australian law states:
In Australian Federal Law breastfeeding is a right, not a privilege.
Under the federal Sex Discrimination Act 1984 it is illegal in Australia to discriminate against a person either directly or indirectly on the grounds of breastfeeding. Direct discrimination happens when a person treats someone less favourably than another person.
Koch: "I think that's fair enough, to say, hey, can you be a bit discreeter, sorta go up on the grass or something like that..."
Co-presenter Samantha Armytage: "Really? ... I think if you want to breastfeed on the side of the pool you should be allowed."
Koch: "Well, no, not in high traffic areas, I know my daughters are really discreet and things like that, would go to a quieter area, that's a high traffic area on the side of the pool in the middle of summer on a hot day..."
Although he tried to backtrack and cover his words with a half-hearted attempt at safety concerns, clearly, his main point was that a breastfeeding woman should do so out of the public eye."Ladies I wonder whether she should have been more discreet. I totally agree with breastfeeding in public, but I think you've gotta be a bit classy about it, that feet on the edge of the pool, isn't discreet enough.... but I'm concerned for the safety if the baby wriggled and fell in the pool...I think there's a safety issue there... I think, theres, em, like, that's why you have mothers—or move back that's a high traffic area, I can understand how people were uncomfortable with it in such a high profile place."
Social media is aflame with emotions and opinions from all sides of the fence. Overwhelmingly, most commenters are in support of breastfeeding mothers. But there are plenty that have taken Kochie's comments and run with them. And not in a good way for breastfeeding women the world over. There is always the negative minority, clinging to their almost clichéd ignorance in comment threads (for example here and here and here).
Here's the first problem with what Kochie said:Stating that a woman needs to exercise discretion when breastfeeding confirms the misguided belief that breastfeeding is something that needs to be hidden.
Breastfeeding is breastfeeding. Nothing more, nothing less. Breastfeeding is simply a baby taking in nourishment and comfort from his or her mother.
However, to suggest a woman needs to be "discreet" about breastfeeding implies that breastfeeding is, somehow, a naturally exhibitionist act—it isn't. Breastfeeding only becomes explicit when someone else views it that way. And how does someone become offended by breastfeeding? By having an unnatural view of what breasts are actually for.
Despite what they'll tell you, those narrow-minded neanderthals who have a problem with the sight of a woman breastfeeding her baby don't have a problem with a bit of a flash of breast skin. Lets face it—breasts are everywhere.
Here's the second problem with what Kochie said:
It doesn't matter how well-intentioned or benign Kochie's comments were in his own mind. Outwardly, what he said was critical of breastfeeding in public. His suggestions that a woman be "discreet" or "a bit classy" confirm the misguided viewpoint that breastfeeding should be hidden. So, for those with a problem seeing a breastfeeding dyad, it's a very slippery slope from Kochie's personal 'opinion' of: "I totally agree with breastfeeding in public, BUT..." to this:
|Or this:
|Yes, because excreting bodily waste is totally the same as providing life-giving sustenance to a child.
I hope these people don't operate heavy machinery with that mindset.
Implying that a woman needs to be respectful of others when breastfeeding her child is a little bit like victim blaming. The problem with someone's sensitivity to public breastfeeding does not lie with the breastfeeding mother — it lies with the person who finds it offensive. In those instances, that person has a right to exercise that thing that holds their head up, and look away. Or move. And then, get some therapy.
Breastfeeding rates in Australia are depressing enough without having prominent public figures, such as Kochie, adding to a mother's burden. Breastfeeding mothers face enough roadblocks without having to worry about what a few other
Oh okay, Ryan, if you have to.

My best buddy's mama, Mrs. Ellie Pipkins, was a den mother and leader of our neighborhood Cub Scout Pack.
Cub Scouts get to do some stuff, but nothing like the older Boy Scouts of America.
Most us were already experienced campers, but Cubs couldn't go camping overnight. We could have back yard cook-outs and sharpen our knot-tying skills, but that was about it.
I guess you could say, that made us Boy Scouts in training.
First Baptist Church sponsored Boy Scout Troop 70 and a bunch of my Sunday School friends were already members.
Oh well, it's better crate than never
During our recent visit to Maryland, we made regular stop by the Amish open air market between La Plata and Lexington Park.
I like that place. The vegetables aren't in yet, but flower baskets and fresh, cut flowers are in abundance.
It had been as hot as a firecracker all week.
Truck convoys loaded with soldiers were a common sight, with maneuvers in full swing.
The Red and Blue armies invaded Lancaster from opposite directions. Campsites were set up wherever thee was a hint of a shade tree.
The fellas were making the best of it, too, roaming around from one group of GI's to another.
The economy was good. All the mills were running three shifts full tilt, with jobs available to those who showed interest in becoming lint heads.
As a soon-to-be 1951 graduate of Lancaster High School, I was about to achieve a milestone in a textile town; I was about to get my high school diploma.
It's what I had been working hard for and was the one highlight for my years of schooling.
It was a good time; the 1950's were just getting off the ground and great things were ahead, or so we thought.
But last summer, war started in far off Korea.
I've always wondered if Benjamin Franklin got the idea for the postal service after his kite got hit by that lightning bolt.
Whatever the case, it was a good one.
Plenty of us regularly e-mail our friends.
But I wonder, too, how much e-mail has impacted the postal service. If we weren't communicating via e-mail, we might be sending more post cards.
I'm old enough to remember penny post cards, 3-cent stamps and those special six-centers for air mail delivery.
Along Chesterfield Avenue, the mailman came by twice each day.
I never thought the day would come when a boat (not made from a refrigerator box) would be parked in my backyard.
Don't worry; it's not mine; I don't have any use for a fishing boat.
I've always been a creek-bank fisherman.
I don't swim and certainly don't walk on water.
When I just about drowned at the old Lancaster Pool on Gay Street many years ago, that cured any fascination I had with water.
These days, you just don't know what to believe. I've seen plenty on television and picture show screens to make me skeptical.
But there is one thing I do believe in; talking tables.
Now that I have your attention, let me explain.
This isn't your typical flat piece of furniture suspended on four legs. And it isn't an end table, card table, nor coffee table and the like.
It's the family dinner table.
These days, it doesn't take very much to put me in the mood to count sheep.
The labels on a couple of my prescriptions tell me it's not smart to operate farm machinery since these medications "may induce drowsiness."
Guess what? That ain't a big deal to me anymore.
At this stage of my life, I make it a point to stay away from hay combines or anything with John Deere written on the side of it.
In fact, I don't have any intentions of messing with a garden hoe, much less a merry tiller.
I guess it was a Monday when the lady of the cave decided it was time to wash out the family hides.
Years ago, it was called "Blue Monday," not because washing clothes without a washing machine was depressing, but because of a bluing agent used in the rising water.
Blue Monday still lingers in some households, but the advent of modern washers and dryers has made every day a potential wash day.
Well, it wasn't always that way.
When I was a small boy, Mama didn't have a washing machine, not even the old wringer kind.
I'm a big Indiana Jones fan. Old "Indy" is always running across some forgotten treasure that's long been abandoned.
I recall when I did the same thing.
Some men were stringing barbed wire fence along a piece of bottom land next to the creek.
Mama had a lunch for them and I was left alone to wander (and wonder). "Keep out of trouble," she said.
Now this briarpatch I was about to explore had some interesting characteristics.

Massage with a happy end in the queen, a delicious wellness process. Customers who focus on a happy end usually require a gentle massage if the option is given. In fact, you can rent more than one masseuse for a massage with a happy ending. Ellie is a special erotic expert who offers an incomparable erotic massage. Visit Sophia for a luxurious incall in her flat or organize a massage in the centre of London and experiment with a piece of sky with our latest feed Girl.
A happy massage in the local residents, too. Where the extras are offered at a restaurant in china's massages, it is considered to be a regular portion of the massages.Again, there are no hard and quick rules, but in general, the normal advice for a hand at a restaurant in china is about forty dollars.
That's why people on the website about the masseurs are frequently referred to the end as" gentle touches" when writing criticism. Frequent visitors to the happy end of the massage in the us do not normally ask for additional services. Massage assistants for adults with what is known as the content service of the end of the service are a little different. There are a lot of things to do in the home country, but the end of the happy massage is the one you should choose because there is no such as the massage form. But if things changed, I would definitely look for another happy end massage.
You may know that the erotic massages are the keys to luck and if you' re going to escape from all of the stresses of your lives, then there's nothing like a happy end massages. Or you might be lucky and trying to get your lucky end massage into Honolulu at a bad moment. A happy thai end massage is just one more big thing to be added to your to-do list. Forget everything that worries you, and take advantage of the amazing and possibly unknown feelings of sensitivity and joy, and A joyful finish. Usually single male clients visiting a Chinese massage room will receive a poor massage followed by a hand-finished finish. With or without oil, masseuse often asks clients if they wish to have a difficult or gentle massage with their restricted English. Of course, there are massage-based cats with the name of china, employees or landlords who don' t have any other than bodily rubbing.

Had to pull over and snap a few pics of this old theatre in Kansas, which was en route to my latest buying trip. I don't document my travels as much as I should and need to work on that asap. I was gone for 4 days and returned last night,triumphant! Quality over quantity this round. I listed a few of the finds tonight:
1940s? Tropical Hawaiian print? Fishtail peplum? We're so there. You can expect a last minute bidding war on this here.
Rose print 1950s party dress in shocking, bubblegum, and raspberry pink. Shiaparelli would have approved. here

We've given the classic crumb bar a holiday-worthy makeover with the addition of ground cloves. Not only do cloves sport a taste and aroma perfect for the season, they also pair wonderfully with the apricot preserve filling. But feel free to mix it up.
Just about any preserve could be substituted. Cherry, peach or fig would be particularly good.
Apricot Clove Crumb Bars

2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cloves
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
12-ounce jar apricot preserves
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, cloves and pecans. Stir in the melted butter until well moistened.
Spread two-thirds of the mixture into the prepared pan and pat down evenly. Spread the apricot preserves over the mixture, then crumble the remaining oat mixture evenly over the top.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan, then cut into 24 squares. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to a week.

It is strange not that modern people a reference to life wisdom, often refers
to those who return to the natural "lay."
Those who enjoy the vain world of vulgar literati, see through the Red, collected ideas and escape into the mountains. Donglei wine, Dutch hoe and return to the wilderness of the vegetation under the shade, a belt of fluttering complacency of people, constitute the "pastoral music" scene, as if "life wisdom" synonymous. As for the city, as if only the smell of greed and fatigue is full of copper, the sight of wisdom nowhere to be found.
People often mistakenly believe that the enjoyment of natural life wisdom can only be found in the wild, and fled to Linquan directly equivalent. As a result, some people give up hiding into the Nanshan, it was bookstores open to remote villages and fine-sounding name "Bishan plan", and all want to take the scene of the green mountains and rivers of life wisdom to show their public. The city's busy, really do not ask for it? Not so much the city busy, it is better to say people empty. "A person read the night rain, no one told, is lonely; only told a person, is love; made a micro-Bo 'If you are well, is sunny', is hypocritical, but also our time ... ... "We are indulging in the interaction, enjoy other people's attention and praise, the actual is to conceal the inner emptiness, to conceal Liang Wen-dao said" huge and desolate loneliness. " This is under the guise of microblogging seek echo and resonance. If asked why run to the countryside? One is through the use of external force, with the mountain's heavy, clear water to arouse the bottom of the heart, to find the initial understanding of life; the other is to find a place without wireless network, forced abstinence.
