Being in the hair-and-makeup trailer and looking in the mirror and seeing that [prosthetic] hip on me, the way that they did it, it was exactly what I would want as far as an addition to my body, you know? So it was hard, because I got to see my body as I want to see it actually, minus the bruises and scars. ... It even had me, as a person at this late stage in my transition, thinking, "What can I do to get this work done?"
So it's hard, and you've still got people like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and K. Michelle, who all also talk about pumping things into their butts , and it's just interesting to me that what [trans women] did for our survival, they're now doing to try to keep a man .
Survival is one of the major issues that trans women, and especially trans women of color, are forced to contend with—an unfortunate reality as true today as it was in 1987. If it seems that trans women are suddenly trending, it's only because of the continued raising of voices within and outside the trans community calling attention to the fact that when it comes to misogyny, patriarchy, sexual assault and toxic masculinity, the issues and dangers that trans and cis women face are far more alike than different.
Last September, transgender activist and model Munroe Bergdorf made headlines when her straight…Red Suede Wave Sneakers Eytys MklII
Ross acknowledges those similarities as well, pointing out that even on the subject of embracing femininity, both trans and cis women have had their femininity used against them.
Back in the day, putting on makeup for trans people was, again, a survival thing. And so, for many of us back in the day, we had to learn how to do "invisible makeup," where you didn't want to look like a drag queen walking down the street and get clocked or whatever ...
And then we come into a time when cis women are being painted for the back row like it's RuPaul's Drag Race ... and I think it's a great thing that's actually happened, because I feel like misogyny did its number on our culture and on women in a way where [it] had us believing we have to wear Hillary Clinton pantsuits in order to play the game—that we can't perceive our femininity as power.

—who recently told Vogue , "I've always wanted to wear what makes me feel most powerful—her personal style icon. "She's hashtag goals," Ross said. "Just a tall, dark drink of hashtag goals. She's professional, she's doing her job, but she steps into the office in gold lamé or whatever she feels like stepping in the office in, and it's inspiring."

text: bigwophh writes:"Liquid cooling a PC has traditionally been considered an extreme solution, pursued by enthusiasts trying to squeeze every last bit of performance from their systems. In recent years, however, liquid cooling has moved toward the mainstream, as evidenced by the number of manufacturers producing entry-level, all-in-one kits. These kits are usually easy to install and operate, but at the expense of performance. Asetek's aptly named LCLC (Low Cost Liquid Cooling) may resemble other liquid cooling setups, but it offers a number of features that set it apart. For one, the LCLC is a totally sealed system that comes pre-assembled. Secondly, plastic tubing and a non-toxic, non-flammable liquid are used to overcome evaporation issues, eliminating the need to refill the system. And to further simplify the LCLC, its pump and water block are integrated into a single unit. Considering its relative simplicity, silence, and low cost, the Asetek LCLC performs quite well, besting traditional air coolers by a large margin in some tests."

Jesse Winchester, a U.S.-born songwriter who established himself in Montreal after dodging the Vietnam War and went on to write songs covered by the likes of Elvis Costello, Jimmy Buffett, and Joan Baez has died of cancer. He was 69.
His death was announced on his official Facebook page Friday.
"Friends, our sweet Jesse died peacefully in his sleep this morning," the update reads. "Bless his loving heart."
Winchester was born in Louisiana and raised around the U.S. South, but he didn't begin his music career in earnest until moving to Quebec in 1967. There, he began performing solo in coffee houses around Montreal and the Canadian East Coast.
Winchester was a protege of the Band's Robbie Robertson, who produced and played guitar on Winchester's self-titled debut album and brought Band-mate Levon Helm along to play drums and mandolin.
Winchester's second album, 1972's "Third Down, 110 to Go" featured tracks produced by Todd Rundgren. He continued to release material at a steady clip until 1981's "Talk Memphis," after which he took a seven-year break from recording. That album, however, contained Winchester's biggest U.S. hit, "Say What."
Although large-scale mainstream success eluded Winchester, his songs were covered by an array of musicians including Elvis Costello, Anne Murray, Wynona Judd, Emmylou Harris, the Everly Brothers, Jimmy Buffett and Joan Baez.
Some of his best known songs include "Yankee Lady," ''Biloxi," ''The Brand New Tennessee Waltz" and "Mississippi, You're On My Mind."
After living in Canada for decades, Winchester moved back to the U.S. early last decade and was living in Virginia.
Winchester was nominated for three Juno Awards, including country male vocalist of the year in 1990 and, most recently, best roots and traditional album for "Gentleman of Leisure" in 2000.
In September 2012, artists including James Taylor, Lucinda Williams, Vince Gill and Jimmy Buffett performed covers of Winchester's tunes for a tribute album called "Quiet About It."
Winchester reportedly recorded a final album called "A Reasonable Amount of Trouble," due out this summer.

HIGHLAND, Ill. – The Panthers kept their NCAA playoff hopes alive on Thursday night as they split games in the first round double-dip of the 2011 SLIAC tournament. GC was outlasted in game one by Fontbonne 4-3 in an eleven-inning pitchers duel, but bounced back in the nightcap behind David Massengill's complete game 6-2 victory over Westminster.
The Black & Orange rallied late in game one, and behind a game-tying solo homerun by Daniel Covert, pushed the game into extra innings in the bottom of the ninth. However, Fontbonne closed the deal in the eleventh, breaking the 3-3 tie with an RBI single. GC failed to get a runner on base in the bottom of the finale, going 1-2-3 in consecutive outs and was edged 4-3 in gut-wrenching fashion.
In the opener Covert's clutch bat continued to lead the Panthers offensively. Though only going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run, his timely solo-shot tied the game and forced extra play. Third baseman Kenny Trager also aided the efforts at the plate, going 2-for-5 with an RBI.
On the mound sophomore Derek Reckmann went six innings with two earned on four hits before fellow under-classman Scotty Voyles relieved him in the seventh. Voyles was charged the loss, but dealt five innings and only surrendered four hits with two earned.
With their backs against the wall in double-elimination capper, Greenville faced foe Westminster with the game starting at 9:00 pm. Despite the game finishing around midnight Massengill showed why he holds a 6-1 conference record, notching a complete game, five hit win. The senior struck out 10 while walking no batters and surrendering one earned in the 6-2 victory.
The club also produced offensively, capitalizing on opportunities and scoring six runs on only seven hits. Cole Lawson drove in the only GC RBI of the game while going 1-for-4 with a run scored.
Greenville will head back to Highland today to face the loser of Fontbonne and Webster, and will look to stage off elimination at 8:00 pm at Glik Park.

I've just looked at the wonderful (but complicated) star-shaped box. And the patent for it - how interesting. My son has just read this over my shoulder. "It looks as if the inventor's wife has signed the patent," he said. "That must have been right after she said, 'Good grief, Alvin, that's taken you months to invent. It better make us some money after all that.'".ReplyDelete
I think he might be right.

No. 1 Notre Dame (11-0) at USC (7-4), 8 p.m. Saturday (ABC)
Line: Notre Dame by 7.
Series Record: Notre Dame leads 43-35-5.
Notre Dame is on the brink of a trip to the BCS title game, needing only a win in the Coliseum to wrap up the spot. The Irish share one of college football's best intersectional rivalries with USC, which could only gain a measure of solace from a hugely disappointing season by ruining the Irish dream season.
USC WR Marqise Lee vs. Notre Dame CB Bennett Jackson. The Trojans will rely on their gifted skill-position players to take pressure off QB Max Wittek, and no defensive secondary all season has significantly slowed down Lee, who could improve his Biletnikoff Award hopes with one more monster game. Jackson is a converted receiver who will be tested all night.
Notre Dame: LB Manti Te'o. It's only fitting for the imposing middle linebacker to play his final regular-season game at the Coliseum. He came agonizingly close to choosing USC out of high school before flipping to Notre Dame, where he suffered through early disappointments before finally having a season worthy of his faith in the Irish.
USC: Wittek. The redshirt freshman makes his first career start in place of injured Matt Barkley, and his teammates are confident he'll excel. Wittek is bigger and throws harder than Barkley, with zip on his passes that hurts Lee's hands, but he has played only mop-up duty all season long.
Barkley will watch his final regular-season game from the sideline with a sprained shoulder. The Pac-12's career leader in multiple passing statistics will never get to face Notre Dame at the Coliseum, also missing the game two years ago with an injury. ... USC has won nine of the schools' last 10 meetings, losing only in 2010 when Trojans WR Ronald Johnson dropped a sure TD pass in the final minutes of a 20-16 win for Notre Dame, led by QB Tommy Rees. ... Notre Dame has brought the No. 1 ranking to the Coliseum six times, with USC winning two of those matchups. The Irish haven't been No. 1 in this game since 1989. ... USC is 7-11 against all No. 1 opponents. ... Notre Dame has a higher ranking than USC in this matchup for the first time since 2000. ... USC AD Pat Haden spent 12 years as a color analyst on Notre Dame television broadcasts.

Everytime I have to do a fresh-install of Linux (not so frequently, ofcourse), I have to download a bunch of tools which I use regularly. For example, gnuplot, xfig, LaTex compilers, numpy, etc. Say hello to Fedora-Scientific. The idea is to create a Fedora spin based on the default Fedora GNOME Desktop, but having additional tools which most researchers will use.
Benefit to Fedora
Although the motivation for such a spin is purely "scratching my own itch", but I won't be wrong in stating that a significant percentage of Fedora users will be involved in scientific research use a number of numerical libraries, tools and libraries in their daily work. Pulling all those packages everytime a fresh install of Fedora is done is time consuming and redundant.
Moving beyond Fedora users, such a spin will definitely attract new or seasoned Linux users who feels the need to have some the scientific software that he/she uses to be already insalled.
The CLUG folks showed a lot of +1s to the idea (Thread). As was pointed out to me (which I didn't think before!), Fedora Scientific will also be complimentary to the relatively more stable, RHEL based, Scientific Linux, as Fedora will cater to a similar audience, but giving the users more bleeding edge software experience.
Kickstart File
Current version of the Kickstart file (Updated on July 3, 2011)
ISO Name / FS Label
Fedora live desktop spin.
Scope / Testing
This spin will be based on the Fedora destkop spin. In addtion, a number of tools and libraries for scientific research is included. I have decided upon the current set of applications based on my own experience and likings which also determined the mandatory packages in the current "Engineering and Scientific" group: gnuplot, gsl, gsl-devel, maxima, octave, python-matplotlib, R, scipy, speedcrunch, texmaker, transfig, units, wxMaxima, xfig. In addition some other packages for development, typesetting and drawing are included as can be seen from the kickstart file.
Tentative additional software: openmp, MPI, gfortran, version control systems (May be 'svn' and 'git', also a gui for each), bibliography tools, C++ compiler, some facilities for creating clusters, load balancers, netpbm, xv, boost, petsc, hdf5, Anjuta, fftw, LAPACK, Maple?, Inkscape, scribus, Yorick, DDD, valgrind, .. (please add!).
Update: Included a lot of additional development tools, libraries and version control systems based on the above list. (See the current kickstart file) (July 3, 2011)
I should point out here that my idea is to have a generic toolset made available. The number of tools currently available in different domains- Physics, Chemistry, Biology is just too many. Including them all in one big spin may not make a lot of users happy, simply because if I am a engineering researcher, the Biology tools are just useless to me.
I haven't actively looked into applications which may not be available in the repository and is important to a spin such as this. Needless to say, I am going to take upon the responsibility of packaging such software, when I come across one, or its pointed to me.

Offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson, linebacker Kelvin Cain and cornerback Keion Payne have been suspended for the first weekend of spring practice, UM coach Al Golden said Saturday afternoon.
The three violated team policy, though Golden didn't elaborate.
They will be back for the next practice on Tuesday, the coach said, and rejoin the team for Monday meetings.
Golden used the word "disappointing'' more than once to describe the situation.
Kelvin Cain had been slated to practice at first-team outside linebacker because of the absence of injured Ramon Buchanan (knee), and was still listed as the starter ahead of Eddie Johnson and Josh Witt on the depth chart released to reporters Saturday. Cain will be a junior.
Henderson, a 6-8 and 350-pound rising junior, is listed as the second-team right tackle behind Jermaine Johnson.
Payne, who will be a redshirt sophomore and graduated from Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, is listed as a second-team corner behind Thomas Finnie.
Golden was asked how disappointing it was to deal with repeat offenders such as Cain and Henderson, who have been disciplined before.
He compared the problem players to, well, weeds in a garden.
"It think it's disappointing for the team, to be honest with you,'' he said. "You can't just weed all the time. If you weed all the time, if you're just constantly weeding, that's the problem. When you're trying to improve the program and move the program forward, you can't just weed your garden, you've got to water your garden, too.
"And so we're sitting here saying to the guys, 'That is an incredible offseason,' and 'Great job,' and then the next day you've got to weed the garden again. It's like after a while, you know, you stop using the weed whacker and you get a shovel and get the whole root. That's kind of where we're at.
"There are a lot of kids on that team that have given up a lot and that will continue to give up a lot, that love the University of Miami, that are trying to do things the right way. As a group and as a team, we're all disappointed because it's really not that hard. What we're asking them to do is not that hard. Just do what we're asking you to do, what everybody else on the team is doing. And that's it. I'm not going to get into it. It's a team. It's a team rule. That's it. Period.''
Golden seemed very pleased with the initial practice as a whole, saying the players were in much better shape than they were a year ago at this point, and that he doesn't expect them to be in excellent condition yet. That will come in time.
Some of the players he praised: center Shane McDermott, junior-college transfer cornerback Ladarius Gunter, quarterback Ryan Williams, safety Vaughn Telemaque, freshman cornerback Larry Hope. But he especially lauded the talent of Dallas Crawford, who will have a versatile role as a running back, special teams return man and as a slot receiver.
"Dallas Crawford looks like he's really in shape and got his quickness back,'' Golden said, describing his "lateral quickness'' and saying he was a "strong competitor'' and "good with the ball in his hands.. Very versatile. ...Good start for him.''
Quarterback Stephen Morris spoke to reporters but didn't want to talk too much about the reported back injury or give details about his surgery. "I feel fine,'' he said. "Today I was tossing the ball, throwing the ball around.'' Golden said Morris acted as a coach in practice.
Safety Armstrong said he expects to be a leader this season. On his decision to return for his senior season, he said: "I come from a family when you start something you finish it. I started my freshman year so I have to go through the four years and get my degree. If I left last year I couldn't do that... I'm not a finished product yet.''
Armstrong said he tried to get the five underclassmen who left early for the draft "to come back, but they felt that was the best decision...''
The strongest Hurricane pound-for-pound, according to strength and conditioning coach Andreu Swasey? Tailback (and backup fullback) Mike James, who is 5-11, weighs 222 and bench presses 225 pounds for 28 reps with a 400-pound max, back squats 525 pounds and power cleans 308.
Quarterback Williams, who has taken over the first-team responsibilities with Stephen Morris out, said he had a good day. "First practice was good,'' Williams said. "Get out there, get in the flow of things, finally get everything moving with the O-line, the receivers and everything. Just nice to get out on the field and do it for real.''
Don't forget that tomorrow morning's practice on what UM is calling Fan Appreciation Day is open to the public -- as long as you are either a football season-ticket holder or show your ticket for Sunday's UM vs. Gators baseball game at 1 p.m.
The football practice starts at 11 a.m. on Greentree Field and will conclude in time for first pitch at 1 p.m.

The travels of Eleanor Roosevelt, the President's wife, brought the New Deal and the federal government into the lives of ordinary Americans. Far more active than previous "first ladies," her visits to coal mines, factories, farms and work relief projects created a direct link between Washington DC and common people. Photographs of her visits, such as this one in the Greenfield Daily Recorder-Gazette created an image of an active and caring presidential administration.

I've just taken down my Christmas tree. This means that the festive period is officially over. I've eaten turkeys and pigs, and turkeys wrapped in pigs, and pigs wrapped in pigs. I hope there aren't any pigs reading.
What this all means is that I'm sitting here feeling like I should do some exercise. And what better way to exercise than jabbing my fingers at a keyboard while playing some of December's best free games? Here are the five notable ones I've played in the last month.
By Zillix . Play it on Newgrounds .
This is a lovely little exploratory platformer. Or, rather, a lovely big exploratory platformer. While the game initially appears simple and small, it quickly sprawls out across a huge area, interlinking and intertwining with itself, as you follow a request from your deceased father to collect your inheritance from a treasure chest.
It's quaint, and at first feels quite predictable. But as the game expands, it throws quite a few curveballs your way. You gain new abilities as you go along, allowing you access to areas you previously passed but couldn't enter. And the dialogue, while straightforward, really helps to set the tone. A marvellous way to spend a portion of the day.
By Armor Games. Play it on their website .
A story about a robot, K.O.L.M. is one of the most gorgeous, strikingly melancholy and creatively designed Flash games I've played in ages. It's ostensibly a platformer, but like Endeavour it's primarily about exploration. This time, there's also a captivating unfolding story to keep you going as well.
The narration is quietly sinister, while the visual design adapts to its themes. Your robot begins without eyes, so the screen is simply a muddy blur, with vague shapes shifting around as you attempt to guide him to the next area. With each new component re-fitted, you gain new abilities which allow for progress elsewhere. It's Metroid without the action, then, but it's the aesthetic that really sells it: it looks, sounds and feels absolutely wonderful.
Dark Visions
By Tenth Play. Play it on the official website .
This is an interesting one. I pondered for quite a while about whether to include it. The problem is this: it's an impressive game, a fully fledged semi-3D adventure built in Flash and playable in a web browser, all for the handy price of nothing at all. But I'm not entirely sure whether it's any good or not.
It's very traditional. You select whether you want to look at, interact with or move towards an area, then let the actions play out. The puzzles are... traditional adventure game puzzles. Half of me wants to hate them, while the other half totally appreciates what the developers were going for. The setting and story are less easy to defend, throwing in hundred adventure game clichés into - gasp! - a spooky mansion.
But like I said: it's a huge 3D point-and-click adventure that's playable for free in a browser, and it's about a million times better than some of the rubbish that gets released commercially.
One Chance
By Awkward Silence Games . Play it on Newgrounds .
You have one chance to save the world.
The clock ticks down. Humanity will be wiped out in a matter of days. You're a scientist, and if you play your cards right, you might be able to prevent the global apocalypse. But you're also a family man. And if the world is going to end this week, you'd quite like to spend your remaining hours with your wife and daughter. What to do?
That's the question One Chance asks you to make. It's a haunting, gorgeously drawn and genuinely moving experimental game whose mood is occasionally spoiled by some absolutely dreadful writing. Had a script editor looked over this prior to release, it could have been amazing.
Technobabylon - Part II
By Technocrat . Get it from Big Blue Cup .
The first part of Technobabylon was released in October. "Quietly melancholy but always intriguing, it's a fascinating little game," I said back then . Much the same is true of this second part, but there have been some changes made along the way.
For starters, while the first part was a fairly traditional room escape game, Part II has a more typical point-and-click adventure feel to it. There's a more expansive story, too: where the first game was a marvellous piece of scene-setting, Technobabylon - Part II takes that scene and weaves a more satisfying narrative into proceedings. Once again, it's atmospheric and engrossing, and well worth a play.

England posted their highest ever Twenty20 score of 214 for seven as all-rounder Luke Wright and captain Stuart Broad led them to a comprehensive 40-run win over New Zealand here Saturday.
In reply, New Zealand were struggling at 174 for nine at the end of their innings.
England's batting masterclass saw them take advantage of the short Eden Park boundaries as they easily surpassed their previous best total of 202 scored against South Africa in 2009.
The runfest also produced 15 sixes, the third best on record behind the 17 South Africa scored against England in 2009 and the 16 belted by Australia against India a year later.
The England onslaught was assisted by sloppy New Zealand fielding with six catches spilled including two by Ross Taylor back in the side for the first time after pulling out of the recent South African tour when stripped of the captaincy.
After being sent into bat first, Alex Hales led the initial charge racing to 21 before he was stumped by Brendon McCullum off Ronnie Hira and England lost their first wicket at 29 in the fourth over.
Hira later had the satisfaction of claiming the first successful catch in the New Zealand field to dismiss Wright whose 42 consisted of four sixes and three fours and came from just 20 deliveries.
Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow plundered the New Zealand bowling at will as they produced an 81-run partnership in 43 balls for the fourth wicket with Morgan's 46 including three sixes and four fours.
His dismissal allowed New Zealand to fight back in the closing stages of the innings as they conceded only 28 runs from the final 25 deliveries.
Faced with a daunting target of nearly 11 an over, the New Zealand batsmen made a positive start before their chase began to crumble.
After five overs they were up with the run rate but where Wright and Lumb mounted a 21-run onslaught in England's sixth over, Martin Guptill and Ross Taylor only managed eight for New Zealand.
Guptill top scored with 44 before he gave his wicket away when he gifted a catch to Broad at mid wicket off Wright's bowling.
Broad, the most successful of the England bowlers, finished with four for 24 from his four overs while Wright took two for 29.
The second match in the series is in Hamilton on Tuesday.
England beat New Zealand by 40 runs
England posted their highest ever Twenty20 score of 214 for seven as all-rounder Luke Wright and captain Stuart Broad led them to a comprehensive 40-run win over New Zealand here Saturday.

New renderings show design changes to base, spire of 1 WTC
NEW YORK – New renderings of 1 World Trade Center show recent design changes to the base and spire of the building, formerly known as the Freedom Tower.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey owns the World Trade Center site and released the images Tuesday.
Previously the spire was to have been sheathed in a protective covering. The new images show a spire exposed to the elements. Plans still call for the spire to rise to a symbolic 1,776 feet when construction is finished.
The images display a new design for the first 20 stories.
Original plans called for those stories to be angled outward. Now the base will be broader.
Flat, stainless-steel panels also are new design elements for the outside of the building.

By the end, the patience had run thin, razor thin.
The patience with a teammate who wasn't there for 28 games during the regular season.
The patience with a center who at times came up small.
The patience for a coach who ran the same defensive schemes that the San Antonio Spurs burned for open shot after open shot after open shot.
The patience with a front office that made reducing the luxury tax a priority.
Or you could believe the Madison Avenue spin, which assuredly is playing on your television right now.
By the end of his Miami Heat tenure all indications were LeBron James' patience had run out with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Erik Spoelstra and Pat...

Borussia Dortmund general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke has hit out at Bayern Munich following the news that Mario Gotze will leave for Bayern in the summer transfer window.
The newly-crowned Bundesliga champions announced on Tuesday that they have agreed personal terms with the Germany international and will match his €37 million buy-out clause to complete the deal.
Watzke is not impressed with the way Bayern have dealt with the situation, though, and has accused them of deliberately trying to weaken their rivals.
"I believe Bayern have followed the same pattern to achieve success for quite a while and weakening their rivals is part of their strategy," Watzke told Sport Bild.
"We always expect approaches from Munich for our players, regardless of their statements of solidarity.
"We try to fight them with the means we have. It's then up to the players to decide which is the more interesting prospect for them."
Gotze, 20, is a product of the Dortmund youth academy and has made over 100 official appearances for BVB so far.
The attacking midfielder's contract with the Schwarzgelben was due to expire in the summer of 2016.

On my podcast, Let's Eat In, on Heritage Radio Network, every guest who's ever been interviewed gets asked this: "What is the ultimate date meal?" The question has long been a fascination of mine, ever since I took a hiatus from restaurant food and everyone wondered how I intended to "date." The show has surpassed 100 episodes recently, so now I'm armed with at least that many answers to the ultimate date meal at home.
Rather than focusing on the awkward choices of lighting your home or what to talk about, this study is purely about what kind of food is deemed the most date-worthy. I've asked cookbook authors, chefs, artisanal food-makers, and other folks somehow obsessed with food the exact same question. After taking in their wise answers, I've found several trends that are compiled into a top-five list of meal choices below.
Other trends to note might be the types of foods not mentioned by the guests. All told, none of the meals sounded very complicated to make. Nobody had much to say about offal, except for Julie Powell, who thought chicken livers were pretty hard to beat. And no one uttered the word "hamburger" once. It's interesting that many of the women I interviewed blurted out a red meat, while men often leaned toward lighter foods and fresh salads. This is all a highly unscientific model, based on responses from my friends and colleagues in the food world. Should you dare listen to each episode (don't), you might come to the same conclusion about what makes the hottest date as listed here.

BOSTON, April 16 (UPI) -- New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre says he escaped unharmed from explosions that went off minutes after he finished the Boston Marathon.
Three people were killed and more than 100 injured in Monday's blasts. As of Tuesday morning, no one had claimed responsibility for the attacks.
"There was an explosion by the finish line about 5 minutes after I finished," McIntyre, a Needham, Mass., native, posted on Twitter Monday afternoon. "I'm ok but I'm sure there are many hurt."
Before McIntyre tweeted his condition, band mate Donnie Wahlberg took to Twitter to plead for an update on his whereabouts.
"Please reach out if you hear that @joeymcintyre is ok!!!!! Please say a prayer for everyone in Boston!" tweeted Wahlberg, who grew up in the Dorchester section of Boston.
He later wrote: "Just heard that @joeymcintyre is ok! Thanks to everyone for tweeting! Scared for everyone else in Boston. #PrayerForBoston please."

On Christmas Eve 2014, journalists working at the Guardian received the following email from their editor, Alan Rusbridger.
It read:
Phyllis_RobinsonOctober 6, 2015
Last August, Equal Exchangers Meghan, Casey, Jim, Ellen, and Lincoln joined the ranks of hundreds of other activists doing their part to stop Shell Oil from drilling in the Arctic. (If you didn't have a chance to read their gripping stories of the Shell No! Greenpeace action in Portland, click here to do so!)

At Equal Exchange, we believe that "Fair Trade" means "small farmer," and our relationships with tea growers reflect that. Our tea comes from democratically organized small farmer groups, not plantations or estates. We work directly with farmer groups to pay them a fair price for their tea, offer affordable credit and solve problems collaboratively. The traditional tea market favors large plantations and their wealthy owners, and puts workers in poverty, without agency and with little hope for their futures.

During Pope Francis' much heralded visit to the U.S. last week, he gave top priority to the pressing issues of economic disparity and injustice, and the threat that climate change poses to humanity and to the planet. In his speeches before Congress and again at the United Nations, Pope Francis urged world leaders to take the threat of global warming seriously and to act quickly to take steps to reduce the greenhouse gases that contribute to this crisis.

On September 8, the BBC posted a heartbreaking account of the living and working conditions at the Doomur Dullung plantation, in Assam, India. BBC journalists uncovered tea plantation workers and their families living and working in shocking conditions. They found workers living in dilapidated homes with no access to toilets and drinking water contaminated by raw sewage. Child labor violations, dangerous working conditions, and rampant malnutrition and disease were all too-commonly reported and verified.

Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk Confirmed for Upcoming Drama "IRIS 2″
Lee Da Hae and Jang Hyuk have been confirmed as leads in upcoming drama "IRIS 2" by Taewon Entertainment, the production company behind KBS drama "IRIS" and SBS spinoff drama "ATHENA: Goddess of War." The two stars were also ill-fated love interests in the 2010 KBS drama "Chuno" (also known as "The Slave Hunters").
Earlier, it had been reported that Jang Hyuk and Lee Da Hae had been considering roles in the drama. Today, it was confirmed that they will take the leads in "IRIS 2."
Jang Hyuk will be playing the role of Yu Geon who is the TF-A Team leader under South Korea's National Security Service, who while in charge of dealing with the events surrounding Baek San and IRIS, begins a desperate struggle for his life, and gets caught up in events that fatefully change his life. Jang Hyuk, in the role, will go from being warm and humane to cold and dispassionate.
Lee Da Hae will be playing the role of Ji Su Yeon who is a gold medalist in pistol shooting, and becomes a TF-A Team agent under South Korea's National Security Service. Lee Da Hae will be doing her own action scenes for the drama. Lee Da Hae's character is normally off the wall, but shows unusual abilities in carrying out her missions.
In 2009, KBS aired drama "IRIS" was a hit with A-list stars Lee Byeong Hun, Kim Tae Hee, Kim Yeong Cheol, Jung Joon Ho, Kim So Yeon, Kim Seong Woo, and Big Bang's T.O.P., and a thrilling plot centered around South Korea's secret National Security Service team's work in preempting foreign threats, assassination attempts, another secret organization called IRIS, and the politics of reunification.
"IRIS 2″ which is scheduled to be aired in February 2013 will focus on Baek San's arrest and explaining the origins and activities of IRIS.

"IRIS" producer confirms sequel
KBS' 2009 hit TV series "IRIS" producer is gearing up to produce the sequel to the drama aiming to hit the airwaves next year.
Taewon Entertainment, the original series' production company, is in the pre-production stage of the action-packed TV series' second season, a rep from the firm talked to the magazine over the phone Friday. "We are in the process of renewing and refreshing the original story [for the next season], so we have yet to to talk about the casting. We're aiming to air the show next year, but it has not been settled yet," the official said briefly.
Industry watchers predict that producer Chung Tae-won will get his hands on the project after wrapping up filming the fifth installment of "Marrying the Mafia" series, a comedy pic due out this year. "IRIS," which aired back in 2009, stars some of the biggest names in the Korean entertainment industry including Kim Tae-hee, Jung Joon-ho, Kim So-yeon and Big Bang member T.O.P.
The espionage series dominated the primetime lineup during its run, between October 14 and December 17, with its viewership ratings reaching nearly 40 percent, and later turned into a big screen film, dubbed "IRIS: THE MOVIE" in 2010.

The KBS 2TV 2009 drama 'Iris,' had a strong start with its advertisement completely sold and ended with record of 39.9% viewers rating(TNS Media Korea). Top stars, Lee Byun Hun, Kim Tae Hee, Jung Joon Ho, Kim Seung Woo, Kim So Yeon, Big Bang's TOP, all appeared.
As 'Iris' was popular, people wondered if Lee Byun Hun and Kim Tae Hee will appear in the second season. However, they will not be appearing. Lee Byung Hun is planning to work with Bruce Willis in the Hollywood film 'Red 2' in November. Meanwhile, Kim Tae Hee is searching for a drama to appear on after she finished her Japanese drama 'Me and My Star's 99 Days' in 2011.

Jang Hyeok likely to star in "Iris 2"
Jang Hyeok is a likely candidate for "IRIS 2". He's going through the offer made by the "IRIS 2" production company Taewon Entertainment. He hasn't signed officially but it is very likely and what's left is just the decision making.
Jang Hyeok's recent drama "Deep-rooted Tree" and older "The Slave Hunters" showed strong action. Being an actual expert in martial arts, Jang Hyeok is said to be the most suitable person for "IRIS 2". Jang Hyeok is apparently one of the very few that has stardom and acting skills and he is just the right person for the blockbuster scale "IRIS 2".
"IRIS" was aired in 2009 and recorded a rate of almost 40%. "IRIS 2" was mentioned once when it was said director Gwak Kyeong-ta다 was offered to lead it. Tae Won Entertainment claims "IRIS 2" is still in planning.
"IRIS 2" is aimed for February next year.

The verses on this screen were written by twentieth-century poets in the classical style (sijo). They read (translations by Professor Ji-moon Suh, Korea University):
You are aloof but tender, beauteous yet chaste.
Your carriage is lofty, and even your smile is restrained.
Your fragrance, though delicate and shy, permeates.
Plum Blossom, Chong In-bo
Without any rouge or dye your loveliness stands out.
Though the season is cold and harsh,
Your leaves glisten, and your petals are radiant.
Camellia, Yang Dong-gi
Your purity and simplicity mirror the soul of our nation.
Your sweet fragrance and elegant beauty
Are gifts of the angel of Spring upon her beloved maid.
Magnolia, anonymous
You are so pure as to be almost ethereal.
You are purer and more ethereal than a lucid sheet of ice.
With fragrance added to white purity, even the moon must envy you.
Pear Blossom, Chong In-bo
Orbs of loveliness blossoming in my yard,
You seem asleep, buoyed by the gentle breeze
Serenely exhaling fragrance with every breath.
Rose, anonymous
Your buds swell during the moonlit night and burst open in the morning.
You vie with sun during the day and fold up at sunset.
Blossoming one after another, you guard my door from spring to fall.
Hibiscus, Pak Pyong-sun

Just finished this book. I've read many of the books that have come out in the last several years which tackle & debunk religion in general and christianity in particular, but this one stands out as being different than the usual polemic. It is fascinating how the author illustrates how religious belief parallels biological viruses/infections, and how the virus protects itself from attack. So true, it's beyond analogy. It's especially illuminating to read if one has lived in the delusion in their past (as I and the author have); the material really rings true.You can find many reviews on the Amazon.com site. I highly recommend this book. (The author has a Facebook page too).
The author uses the virus metaphor ad nauseum. The premise is very enticing and it would be easy to believe that the virus actually exists. Well maybe it does actually exist. It could explain away a lot of the behaviour that atheists percieve as madness. The book does a pretty good job of planting those thoughts in the readers mind.
