It really annoyed me when the FDA officially labeled raw milk "inherently dangerous."
According to the government website, their reasoning was that raw milk "may contain a whole host of pathogens." For those reading this who like to think clearly, there is a big red flag here.
It really annoyed me when the FDA officially labeled raw milk "inherently dangerous."
According to the government website, their reasoning was that raw milk "may contain a whole host of pathogens." For those reading this who like to think clearly, there is a big red flag here. The word "inherently" means that the characteristic is permanent or innate in the thing being described. If raw milk "may contain" Salmonella, E. coli, or Listeria, then it isn't inherently dangerous: it is "maybe dangerous," and that's all. Calling it inherently dangerous is a lie.
But really that is not the whole story. The reason that milk—the stuff men have been delightfully chugging for thousands of years—is all of a sudden "inherently dangerous" and illegal, is not because cows changed. It is because men changed.
Instead of walking out in the morning to milk the cow and then returning indoors to pour the milk onto a bowl of porridge, the modern man consumes milk that has gone through a very involved process, probably travelling great distances and passing through a host of machines along the way. So of course this type of product is going to be dangerous by the time it hits the shelves. Industrial methods simply cannot handle milk without turning it into a poisonous white liquid.
But does this mean that milk itself is inherently dangerous? Or does it mean that the industrial process is inherently dangerous? Again, clear thinking readers will say that it is obviously the latter. Nonetheless, pasteurization is now a requirement for all milk sold to the public. No one, not even the guy who lives next-door to the dairy farmer, gets to drink it fresh.
The small dairy farmer, of course, cannot afford pasteurization. It's expensive. So he must either close his doors or sell his brand to one of the big guys. He loses his independence and everyone else loses their fresh milk. The only one who wins is the guy who runs the factory—the only winner is the guy who made milk "dangerous" in the first place. That's the great irony of our age. We create our own problems, and instead of fixing the problem—instead of closing the factory—we invent some new and expensive technology to fix the problem we created, and everyone has to adopt it or die. Most small farms die—and it is a completely new form of death—it is death by someone else's disease. The factory system is diseased, and yet it is the only survivor at the end of the day.
This all might seem like petty politics, but there is a more sinister side to the story. What happens when this same bad reasoning gets unconsciously applied, not only to our food, but also to our children? We create an unnatural problem, and then an unnatural solution, and then force everyone to use the unnatural solution, even if they would rather just avoid the problem in the first place.
For example, it is obvious that the modern school system is based on the factory system.
It is designed to manufacture humans according to strict specifications—all uniform with as little deviation from the norm as possible. All with a strict set of procedures in their heads, all of them able to give the right set of answer to a limited set of problems. We want "employers" to have a reliable product, after all.
Now think about all the debate regarding "vaccination" and "herd immunity." Why does it not occur to anyone that maybe the need for "herd immunity" would evaporate on the spot if we didn't send children to live in "herds" in the first place? Is it not reasonable to say that sending children, all day every day, off to mingle in the hoard, is probably the number one cause of "preventable childhood diseases?"
Haven't we all heard people say: "I don't want those unvaccinated children in school with my children." What is the underlying assumption in such statements? It is that school is where diseases are spread. It is that the mass exposure of such environments cannot be endured without medication.
Think back to the milk problem. Milk has been consumed for thousands of years. It did not become dangerous until our methods became dangerous, and rather than fix our methods we created an invasive treatment that helped mass production but was at the same time oppressive to the small farmer.
Children have been around just as long as milk—why is it that all of a sudden the "unvaccinated" ones, which is another way of saying the natural ones, are considered by the public to be "inherently dangerous"—just like milk.
Why is it that a child who has not received the invasive "chemical treatment" is assumed to be unclean? I find this disturbing—no, I find it evil. If we are going to talk of "anti-child" attitudes in our society, I think this needs to be one of them.
Take a deep breath: I haven't said one word against anyone who wants to vaccinate their children. I'm not condemning anyone—I'm defending. I'm defending those who opt-out of the treatment from the condemnation being sent their way. When this attitude toward the natural child as "inherently dangerous" begins to take root in society, something must be said. It can't be tolerated.
Milk is one thing—you can lie about the "inherent dangers" of milk with your bad logic all day long. I will be annoyed, of course, but I will probably leave you alone. But if you want to extend that bad logic to babies and children, then we've moved beyond politeness.
If the process of natural birth and growth has become so dehumanized that normal, healthy babies and children are publicly despised, when a newborn is shunned and "quarantined" as if it were a danger to others until it receives the approved chemical treatment, then we have truly become the anti-child civilization. Raw children, like raw milk, might soon become illegal. We'll only have "pasteurized people" in our midst.

Cards prevail, likely claim BCS bid
Teddy Bridgewater couldn't take a snap from center because of a broken wrist, and had a hitch in his step because of a sore ankle.
The Louisville quarterback was too banged-up to start, but more than well enough to finish off Rutgers and likely send the Cardinals to the Bowl Championship Series. BCS bowl bids will be made official on Sunday night.
Bridgewater came off the bench to throw two-second half touchdown passes, and John Wallace kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:41 left to give Louisville a 20-17 victory against Rutgers on Thursday night in what was essentially the Big East championship game.
In a game between one team headed to the Big Ten and another bound for the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East likely handed out its second-to-last BCS bid to a school that entered the league during its last massive rebuild in 2005 and watched its athletic program blossom.
If the Cardinals win the BCS bid, it will be their second BCS bowl. Either the Orange or Sugar Bowl will likely be the destination.
"We dropped two the last couple weeks. But for us to go on the road and win the championship, it's so special," said third-year coach Charlie Strong, who has quickly gotten Louisville back on track after the Cardinals hit a rough patch following their only other BCS bid in 2006.
"I'm just so happy for us to get a 10-win season, go win the conference title and get us to a BCS bowl."
Louisville (10-2, 5-2) will share this Big East title with Rutgers (9-3, 5-2), Syracuse (7-5, 5-2) and possibly even Cincinnati (8-3, 4-2). The BCS standings will be used to break the tie and there is little doubt Louisville, with the best overall record in the conference, will be on top.
Bridgewater didn't start a week after breaking his left wrist and spraining his right ankle in a loss to Connecticut.
"He's the toughest quarterback in the nation," Louisville linebacker Preston Brown said.
Strong went with senior Will Stein as the starter because Bridgewater could only take snaps from the shotgun. But it quickly became apparent Louisville could not win without their star quarterback.
"Once I saw that we weren't finishing drives, I was just ready," Bridgewater said. "I had a good feeling deep down inside."
He entered for the first time against in the second quarter and finished 20-for-28 for 263 yards and threw a pair of TD passes in the third quarter to wipe out a 14-3 deficit.
"He came up to me midway through the first quarter. I said to warm up," Strong said. "I gave our medical staff a game ball because they were able to get him ready."
Cardinals linebacker James Burgess picked off a pass that bounced off Timmy Wright's hands with 3:53 left in the fourth quarter in Rutgers territory, and Bridgewater hit Andrell Smith on a slant for 30 yards to put Louisville in field-goal range. Wallace booted through the short kick to give Louisville a three-point lead.
"They have a tremendous playmaker at the quarterback position," first-year Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said. "We just weren't able to match him in the end."
Rutgers' last chance ended when Gary Nova threw deep, but his receiver stopped short. Terrell Floyd made an over the shoulder interception with 1:06 left. Nova bent over and grabbed his helmet in disgust.
The Scarlet Knights, the only team that has played in the Big East since it started playing football in 1991, probably will have only one more shot to win the conference for the first time before moving to the Big Ten.
With a probable BCS bowl up next, Louisville can add one of the biggest wins in school history to an already memorable week for the school, which was in Conference USA just eight years ago. On Wednesday, Louisville announced it was joining the ACC after at least one more season in the Big East.
There is some question whether Strong will be around that long. He denied on Wednesday a report that he had interviewed for the Auburn job, and it's been speculated that Arkansas and Tennessee are interested, too.
"(Strong) told us he's not going anywhere, don't listen to the rumors," receiver Damian Copeland said.
Rutgers was up 14-3 at half after Nova hooked up with his big receivers for two long TD passes — an 85-yarder to Brandon Coleman and a 68-yard play by Mark Harrison. Nova finished 13-for-28 for 284 yards.
The Scarlet Knights were poised for another big play in the third quarter when a fake field goal turned into a touchdown pass from holder J.T. Tartacoff to D.C. Jefferson. It would have made the score 21-3, but an illegal man down field penalty wiped out the play and Rutgers punted from the Louisville 31.
Everything changed from there.
Bridgewater and the Cardinals put together a 90-yard drive that took 14 plays and nearly eight minutes and cut the lead to 14-10 when the quarterback flipped a pass to Jeremy Wright, who scooted 14 yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals needed only 16 more seconds to take the lead.
Burgess stuck kick returner Jeremy Deering in the chest, forcing a fumble recovered by Calvin Pryor. Bridgewater went right to work, floating a perfect deep ball to DeVante Parker for a 20-yard touchdown pass.
Just like that, it was 17-14 and Scarlet Knights fans fell silent.
"It's kind of a 21-point swing in a very short amount of time, and we were never able to swing the momentum back, and that's my job," Flood said.
Bridgewater had the Cardinals on the move again in the fourth quarter when a high pass bounced off the hands of Eli Rogers and into the arms of Rutgers' Lorenzo Waters, who returned the interception to the Louisville 42.
The Scarlet Knights turned the turnover into Nick Borgese's tying 38-yard field goal with 7:48 left.
Fans waved white towels, and AC/DC blared from the loud speakers. But that was the last big play Rutgers could muster. The Scarlet Knights are likely headed to the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando, still searching for their first BCS bid.
"I think we have a football team right now that's hurting," Flood said.
Thinking the Orange Bowl is its next game, Louisville ended up tossing oranges in the air when it was over and exchanging high-fives with a small group of its fans in a corner of the stadium.
The Cardinals might end up in New Orleans instead of Miami, depending on how the rest of championship weekend plays out. Surely, they will be fine with either.

Hardy, a 2011 Associated Press All-American, a first team All-Big East selection and the conference's Most Improved Player, signed a professional contract with Pistoia Basket last week.
"Dwight Hardy's performance this past season set him apart as one of the best college basketball players in the country," said St. John's head coach Steve Lavin. "Dwight's scoring, playmaking and leadership served as a catalyst for our team's run to the NCAA Tournament and our program's resurgence.."
Pistoia Basket, located in the Tuscany region of Italy and situated approximately 30 minutes outside of Florence, plays in Italy's Lega Due, or "second division." Hardy will play both point guard and shooting guard for the squad.
The league allows two Americans per squad, and Hardy is the first USA-born player signed, replacing former University of North Carolina standout Joe Forte, who played for Pistoia in 2010-11.
A candidate for the nation's player of the year as a top 20 finalist for the prestigious Wooden Award, Hardy finished the 2010-11 season averaging a team-best 18.3 points, ranking fourth among all Big East players and improving from a 10.5 ppg average in 2009-10.
Hardy was also one of the top 3-point shooters in the conference, making 62 treys to average 1.9 per game and rank 12th in the conference. He was named Big East Player of the Week a league-leading three times and earned weekly honors from the league a total of five times in 2010-11.
After making the move from the team's shooting guard and sixth man to starting point guard and scoring leader, Hardy led the Red Storm on an exciting ride in 2011, culminating in the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance since a 2002 trip that was vacated by the NCAA.
He was at his best in St. John's six wins over ranked opponents, a program-high since 1999-2000, averaging 23.3 points in victories over then-No. 13 Georgetown, then-No. 9 Notre Dame, then-No. 3 Duke, then-No. 10 Connecticut, then-No. 4 Pitt and then-No. 14 Villanova.

"Meditation and water are wedded forever" – Herman Melville
The owners of a forested property wanted a quiet space to observe the surrounding nature. A naturalized understory leads to a visually kinetic approach ramp that contrasts to the subtle interior. Entry to the hut is through an obscured door detailed like the cedar walls. Inside an oversized window opposite the entrance immediately pulls the view back outside to a composed view of mature trees. Adjacent to this is a miniature tea cabinet. A raised platform in the main space supports three tatami mats.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – For the second consecutive season, junior Wade Allen has qualified for the NCAA Men's Championships. In what has been a record-breaking season, Allen will look to continue his torrid swimming against the nation's best.
Allen recently set the school record in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 19.45 at the Pac-12 Championships.
"After a really great dual meet season, with flashes of real brilliance in December at the Texas Invite, we thought he would easily make NCAAs. But the entire country seemed to surge in the sprints and suddenly Wade was tied for 27th in the 50 freestyle, and they only take 29, so we were a little nervous," head coach Gregg Wilson said.
Allen's brilliance was shown at the Texas Invite when he broke the school record in the 100 freestyle. His time of 43.26 edged out Chris Peterson's old record by just one one-hundredth of a second.
"Now he's in, and at this point, two weeks before the meet, he is swimming better than ever. He also knows this meet, he's been there, and he's an outstanding racer in prelim swims, so we're very confident," Wilson said.
In the 2013 championships, Allen finished 33rd overall in the 100 butterfly and 39th overall in the 100 freestyle.
The championships will be held in Austin, Texas at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center from Mar. 27-29.
Allen will be swimming the 50 freestyle on Thursday, Mar. 27, the 100 freestyle on Friday, Mar. 28 and the 100 butterfly on Saturday, Mar. 29.
ESPN3.com will be streaming the finals sessions live on Friday and Saturday in addition to a 90-minute show airing on ESPNU on Wednesday, Apr. 9 at 5 p.m. PST.

The Legend of Sangkuriang
According to local folklore, the formation of the Tangkuban Parahu volcano began with a young man SANGKURIANG who fell in love with his own mother, DAYANG SUMBI.
One day, when he was hunting, Sangkuriang accidentally killed his beautiful black dog (Si TUMANG). This dog is actually Sangkuriang's father who had been condemned to live the life of a dog by his GURU. However, Sangkuriang never knew it.
Sangkuriang had been separated by his mother since childhood. Yet, he was destined to meet his mother again. When on his way home, he stopped at a small village and met and fell in love with a beautiful girl. He didn't realised that the village was his homeland nor that the beautiful girl was his own sacred mother (remain young & pretty).
Their love grew naturally and one day, when they were discussing their wedding plans, Dayang Sumbi suddenly realised that the profile of Sangkuriang's head matched that of her only son's who had left twenty years earlier. How could shee marry her own son?
But she did not wish to dissapoint him by cancelling the wedding. So, although she agreed to marry Sangkuriang, she would do so only on the condition that he provide her with a lake and a boat with which they could sail on the dawn of their wedding day.
Sangkuriang accepted this condition and built a lake by damming the Citarum river. Wiath a dawn just moment away and the boat almost complete, Dayang Sumbi realised that Sangkuriang would fulfill the condition she had set.
With a wave of her supernatural shawl, she lit up the eastern horizon with flashes of light. Deceived by false dawn, the cock crowed and farmers rose for the new day.
With his work not yet complete, Sangkurinag realised that his endeavour were lost. With all his anger, he kicked the boat that he himself had built. The boat fell over and, in so doing become the mountain TANGKUBAN PARAHU (in Sundanese, TANGKUBAN means upturned or upside down, and PARAHU means boat).
Another story to share....
The Legend of Lake Toba
Once upon a time, there was a young man named Toba. He lived alone and had no wife. He decided being single and didn't get married, although his age was mature enough to a family.
He had a narrow farm and a small hut not far from a lake. If the day was getting dark, he would go to the lake for fishing. He liked fishing and he could do this activity until night has come.
One day, after worked on his small farm, he decided to go fishing. He wanted to look for some fish for his dinner. He waited for a long time, but his hook didn't catch any fish. He waited and waited patiently.
Suddenly, his fish bait made some movement. He was sure he would get a fish for his dinner. And that was true, a pretty big fish stuck on his bait. He took the fish and then put it on a fish basket. Then, he went home.
He was so happy to get a fish for his dinner. He imagined that his dinner tonight would be nice because the fish was pretty big and fresh.
Arriving at home, he put his fish basket beside the fire place. And then, he set fire of the fire place. But, he realized that he forgot to look for some woods for his fire place. Without the woods, of course he couldn't cook the fish for his dinner.
He went out to look for some woods. He left the fish in the kitchen. He didn't worry about the fish because he was sure that the fish was safe in the place.
After getting some woods, he went back home, but, he was to surprised as the fish basket was empty. The fish was gone, he just found some scales which in the form of gold pieces. Toba was confused. He convinced himself that the gold pieces he hold was the scales of the fish he caught this afternoon.
He stepped to his room. But, again he was shocked as he saw a beautiful girl with long hair in his room. The girl sat in toba's bed. Toba didn't make any movement. He was so shock and wondered who the girl was.
Suddenly the girl turn her head and looked at toba. Toba was so amazed with the girl's beauty. He looked at the girl and admired her beauty. For some moments, they looked each other. Was that a possibility that this beautiful girl is an angel? toba thought.
Toba was so speechless and couldn't say anything. For breaking the ice, the girl said something. She approached toba and said.
"Hi, toba. It was getting dark, could you turn on the lamp" the girl asked.
"Ooo… hhhiii… Alright, I will turn the lamp on," Toba said, his body was trmebled because of fear.
"Don't be afraid, Toba. I will not hurt you," said the girl.
"But, who are you ? are you kind of genie or something ?"
The girl smiled and said.
"I am the incarnation of the fish you caught this afternoon," the girl answered.
"Really, Oh.. God. Is that true?" toba was so surprised.
"Yes, but you don't have to be afraid. I will help you to do some house hold activity. I will cook for you and prepare your daily meal, " the girl offered.
Toba was so happy to hear that.
"By the way, the gold pieces is my scales," the girl said.
"Ooo.. well.. that's why I didn't found my fish in the basket," toba said.
And then the girl went to the kitchen and cooked dinner for toba.
Everyday toba was accompanied by the girl. Toba was happy for that. Until one day, he asked the girl to get married. But, the girl gave a requiretmen.
"I am agree to be your wife, but don't ever tell my secret, my condition that I was a fish," said the girl.
Toba agreed the girl's requiretmen. And then they got married. Toba was happy to have such a beautiful wife. They lived happily because they loved each other.
Years gone by. Toba's wife was pregnant and then not so long after that she gave birth. Toba was so happy. The baby was a boy. Named Samosir. They took care their only child. They showered the boy with love. It seemed that they were happy family.
7 years later
The mother spoiled the boy too much. No wonder, samosir became spoiled child. He didn't want to help his father to work on farm. He only stayed at home doing nothing. He was a very lazy boy.
One day the mother asked samosir to bring lunch for his father who worked in a farm. Usually the mother did his job. But, because she was very busy, she didn't have time to bring the lunch for his husband.
"Samosir my dear, please take this lunch for your father in the farm. He must be very hungry now. I can't bring it for him, there is something else I want to do!" asked the mother.
"No, I can't!" samosir refused.
"Why, don't you want ho help me?" asked the mother.
"I want to play with my frieds, mother!" said samosir.
Mother was angry to hear this. She was so upset and threatened samosir if he didn't do what she's asked. She wouldn't give samosir lunch.
Because of his mother's anger, he felt forced to do what his mother's request.
"All right, mom. I will bring it to my father," samosir said. Samosir went to his father's farm. But he grumbled continuosly as she wanted to play with his friends.
On the way to his father's farm, he ate the lunch little by little. He felt hungry, too. Because of this, there's just a little lunch left. Meanwhile, the day was getting hot. Toba decided to rest under the tree. He felt thirsty and hungry. He asked himself why his wife didn't bring lunch for him.
Waiting in a hungry was such a terrible thing for Toba. He got angry that time. Finally he saw somebody in a distance. He hoped the somebody was his wife who brought lunch for him.
But, he was surprised to see samosir, his son, who came to the farm.
"What do you do here, my son. Where is your mother? Why she didn't bring my lunch?" Toba said angrily.
"Mother is busy to do other things. So, she asked me to bring this lunch for you" said Samosir while gave the lunch to his father.
Toba took the lunch quickly as he couldn't bear his hunger anymore. But, when he saw the lunch box, he was surprised. The lunch was no more left.
"What? Where is the lunch ? Why this box is empty ?" Toba said angrily.
"I am sorry, father. On the way here, I ate your lunch little by little. I am so hungry." Samosir answered with anxiety.
"You're really a bad boy. Why are you doing this ? I am really hungry, you know ? " Toba snapped at Samosir.
"I am sorry, dad. I am really sorry for that!" Samosir said apologize.
"You are rebellious child. You are lazy, useless!!!" Toba got angry.
He felt really upset whit his son. And, suddenly he said something rude that actually was forbidden.
"Your manner is like a little animal. It is because your mother spoiled you. You are so naughty. Well, it is because your mother is a fish. So you are like her. Go away from here" Toba didn't realize that what he said was so rude. He was forbidden to tell about Samosir's mother's origin.
Samosir was so sad to hear what his father's said. He was badly hurt. He cried continuosly. His mother asked why Samosir cried. Samosir said that his father was angry to him. It's because he ate his father's lunch. Samosir also told what his father had said to him.
"Father said that I was a little animal because I didn't obey his advice and he also said that mother is a fish."
Samosir said this to his mother.
"What ??? How excessive he is! He was not supposed to tell that to you. You are his son. I will tell him." The beautiful girl was so angry.
"Why he's so rude to his own child. He promised that he wouldn't tell my origin. Why he did this to me." The beautiful girl said sadly.
"Calm down, Samosir. Don't cry anymore. Now, all you have to do is climb the highest tree and stay there. There will be a huge flood and this velley will be sink and disappear. There will be great disaster here," the beautiful girl said.
"Really, mother ! How do you know ?" Samosir asked.
"Well, you must obey my advice without complaining " the beautiful girl told his son.
After that, Samosir went away and climbed the highest tree in the village. He stayed there, obeyed his mother's instruction. He still didn't know why his mother told him to do this. He just waited what happened next.
The beautiful girl was really sad. He thought that Toba didn't love her anymore. Toba was changed. He broke his promise to her. So, the girl thought there was no use she lived. She decided to do suicide by jumping to a lake.
Suddenly, the sky was getting dark upon the valley. Not so long after that, the rain poured the earth. It was a huge rain. The thunder and the lightning were so scary.
The rain was so heavy and make a huge flood. The valley was like a sea. Just as the girl said, there was a great disaster in that village.
Meanwhile, Toba, who was still in his farm shocked with this disaster. He couldn't save himself. He was drown by the flood and finally died.
And, the spoiled child, Samosir, although he climbed the highest tree, he still couldn't save himself from this great disaster. He died as his parents. His body was floating. And then baceme small island which now was called Samosir Island.
And, the village was sink and became a huge lake. This lake was named as Toba's name, that is Lake Toba.
Lake toba is located in North Sumatra.

WASHINGTON — Solar, wind and other alternative energy businesses in Arkansas are supporting a plan by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants.
WASHINGTON — Solar, wind and other alternative energy businesses in Arkansas are supporting a plan by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants.
Arkansas Advanced Energy Association Policy Director Ken Smith spoke in favor of the plan at an EPA field hearing held Tuesday in Atlanta. About 400 people were scheduled to testify on EPA's proposed "Clean Power Plan." Thousands of people have signed up to speak at hearings EPA is holding this week in Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Denver and Washington D.C.
The proposed EPA rule is directed squarely at the nation's coal-fired power plants that are the single largest producer of carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. The goal is to reduce annual CO2 emissions by 30 percent by 2030. EPA has set state-specific targets in the 645-page document but is allowing some flexibility in how states will achieve those reductions.
Smith said AAEA supports the plan's flexibility and its approach for achieving carbon emission reductions on a state-by-state basis. But, he said, the plan should give states credit for any improvements that are achieved ahead of the rule being adopted.
AAEA has recommended that renewable energy and energy efficiency programs/projects and other lower carbon emitting technology installed between 2014 and 2020 should be credited for Clean Power Plan compliance.
"Unless the EPA finds a way to count advanced energy measures implemented between 2014 and 2020 toward a state's clean power plan compliance target, it is likely that businesses and power companies will delay further investment in advanced energy technologies until 2020. We can't believe that is EPA's intent," Smith said.
AAEA represents more than 80 Arkansas companies including BioEnergy Systems in Fayetteville, Arkansas Solar in Fort Smith and Rooftop Wind Power in Little Rock.
The Arkansas congressional delegation has expressed serious concern about the rule and the impact it may have on electric rates. Higher utility costs, they said, could discourage manufacturing in the state.
When the proposed rule was announced in June, the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation issued a statement expressing its concern that the move away from coal would end up costing ratepayers.
"We are disappointed that this EPA rule will reduce our use of coal, which is our most economical and reliable fuel to generate electricity," AECC President Duane Highley stated at that time. "Although the proposed rule leaves the precise implementation details to the states to develop, the inevitable result will be the use of more expensive fuels, such as natural gas."

SXSW Film - March 9-10 (US - )
Jonathan stands in the rain, cozies up in The Cabin in the Woods and more...
SXSW was kind enough to let me experience SXSW Film in all of it's glory this year, so I inched along the highway to the Austin Convention Center and then worked my way through a long line to get my first-ever SXSW Film badge. Despite the cold weather and constant rain Friday, my excitement level couldn't be higher. I met up with a friend and we walked to the gorgeous Paramount Theater to stand in the rain again. This time we spent two hours getting soaked to see the long-awaited and mysterious Drew Goddard film, The Cabin in the Woods. And was it worth it? Oh yeah.
When Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon came out to introduce The Cabin in the Woods, they requested that the audience members keep fairly quiet about the details of the plot. I intend to fully honor that request, because most of my enjoyment came from having no idea what to expect. So, I'm sorry, but this review is going to be incredibly vague. Those that have been keeping track of the film's production know that it was made in 2009 and has been struggling to find distribution since. Usually when that happens it's because the studios are afraid that they have a stinker on their hands, but this is definitely not the case here. It is, however, an extremely difficult movie to market. You'd be forgiven for watching the trailer and thinking the movie doesn't look like much more than a schlocky horror throwback with some tongue-in-cheek humour, and on some level that is what it is. But there is a whole extra dimension to the film that the previews intelligently avoid, and I have to give Lionsgate credit for keeping something up their sleeve.
There is one thing that is made abundantly clear from the start of the film, and that's that the universe this story takes place in is completely absurd. You're invited into the absurdity of the movie world very early on, and if you go with it the movie rewards you tenfold. The movie has much more comedy than I expected walking in, and a lot of those huge laughs come in the form of Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. But I can't tell you why they're funny, you just have to take my word for it. A good portion of the humour is derived from genre archetypes that Goddard and Whedon cleverly take aim at, while also paying loving tribute to. It would make an excellent double feature with last year's Tucker and Dale vs Evil. There is an abundance of gut busting laughs and loads of sharp observations about the way we watch horror movies. It's a contagious genre love letter that makes you want to go back and revisit every movie it references.

After the film we were treated to a Q&A from Joss Whedon, Drew Goddard, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Kristen Connolly, and Anna Hutchinson. Many of the audience member's questions related to secrets of the plot, but one spoiler-free question that stood out and was when someone asked Whedon and Goddard where the idea for this movie began. This lead to the two of them explaining that this is the kind of movie they would make if they could just make whatever they wanted, then worry about finding a studio to back it later. And that is exactly what they did. I wish more filmmakers had the tenacity to do that. The Cabin in the Woods is a gift. It will have no problem finding a cult following, but I sincerely hope the general movie-going public embraces it. Everyone at that screening sure seemed to. I strongly urge reader's to avoid spoilers online and go experience it for themselves in April. I'm sitting here with a stupid grin on my face just thinking about seeing it again.
The Cabin in the Woods is scheduled to open April 13, 2012.
Safety Not Guaranteed derives its plot from an old image that circulated around the internet. It was a real personal ad that somebody had published: "WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before." Writer Derek Connolly saw this ad and thought it would be interesting if this guy was completely sincere. In the film, we follow the exploits of Darius (Aubrey Plaza of Parks and Recreation), a depressed young woman working an internship for a magazine. When one of the magazine's writers, Jeff (Jake Johnson of New Girl), decides to cover the story, he takes her and another intern (Koran Soni) along with him to do all the work. When they get there they meet Kenneth (Mark Duplass of The League and Humpday); the paranoid and socially awkward man who wrote the ad. As Darius and Kenneth spend more time together, we learn that some people's intentions are not exactly what they seem, and the validity of Kenneth's mission comes into question.
The main joy of Safety Not Guaranteed for me was getting to see Aubrey Plaza in a leading role. She doesn't stray too far from the dry humour she's known for on Parks and Recreation and some movie roles, but her comedic timing and use of deadpan expressions have never been funnier. She's not alone either. Koran Soni as the concerned prude and Jake Johnson as the mean-spirited boss both get some huge laughs as her coworkers. There's an amazing precision to the delivery of every punchline. Mark Duplass brings a different kind of comedy to the film as Kenneth. It borderlines on the type of comedy that Napoleon Dynamite thrived on, which didn't really work for me, but Duplass still managed to be very charming and sympathetic in the role. Sympathy is important, because this film has some dramatic turns that change the way you look at the characters entirely. Even though the movie didn't seem to be making me laugh as much as other festival goers, I genuinely cared about the characters on screen and was wishing well for them. I don't usually expect that of an indie comedy, and it was a welcome feeling. Director Colin Trevorrow has showed that he has heart and a keen eye for comedy with his first feature film, and I'll be in line to see what he makes next.
Following the movie there was a Q&A session with director Colin Trevorrow, writer Derek Connolly, Karan Soni, Jake Johnson, Mark Duplass and Aubrey Plaza. Connolly shared the origin of the story and Trevorrow talked about how the Duplass brothers got involved as producers on the project. At one point they were all asked to share their favorite time travel movie, and Mark Duplass listed the Christopher Reeve classic Somewhere in Time. Back to the Future, or "Back to the Fewtch" as Jake Johnson put it, was another favorite.
Safety Not Guaranteed is scheduled for a limited release on June 8th, 2012.
A new William Friedkin movie? How could I resist? The man behind classics like The Exorcist, The French Connection, To Live and Die in L.A. and the more recent Bug might be there! Well, he wasn't. But he sent us an awfully sweet video introduction to Killer Joe from Vienna where he was working on a stage production of 'The Tales of Hoffman'. In the introduction he explained that this movie would likely be dividing the audience, with some loving it and others absolutely hating it, but he strongly believed no one would leave indifferent to it. And I bet he was right.
Killer Joe, which screenwriter Tracy Letts originally wrote as a play, is the story of one seriously dysfunctional family. Chris (Emile Hirsch) is in over his head dealing with criminals who are threatening his life if he does not pay them what he owes. After being kicked out by his mother, he visits his father (Thomas Haden Church) to discuss a scheme for getting that money. His father lives with his stepmother (Gina Gershon) and his younger sister Dottie (Juno Temple). The entire family gets involved in a plan to kill Chris's birth mother and collect her large life insurance policy. To do this, the hire the help of Killer Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey); a law enforcer by day, contract killer by night.
This was, without question, the most fun I've had watching Matthew McConaughey perform. This is not your Ghost of Girlfriend's Past McConaughey. Killer Joe Cooper is one sick puppy, and this character is going to follow him in his career from this point on. When the family is unable to pay him in full for the assassination, he decides to accept a retainer in the form of the young and somewhat mentally impaired Dottie. The family is all too willing to let him take advantage of her, as long as he carries out his end of the deal and they get the money. It becomes clear as the film progresses that not only is he taking advantage of Dottie, but he is taking control of this entire family, making them bow to his will as he awaits payment for his services. As you can imagine with plots like this, the situation gets out of control. In that regard, Killer Joe has a very traditional plot formula, and it is a slow burn that I admit to losing patience with around the midsection of the runtime. But the movie's real hook is the final 20 minutes. The story and the characterizations completely derail into insanity, and I didn't know if I should be laughing or feeling complete shock. What I do know is that I could feel a nervous twitching in my face; completely involuntary. I had no idea how the movie had taken me there and where it was going next, and I loved it. It'll change the way you look at the entire film, and uh, the way you look at fried chicken. It will be too much for some, and I bet many will just think it is plain stupid, but those with a taste for dark humour and a craving for mind-melting subversion will leave with a nervous smile on their face.
Harry Knowles came out afterwards and brought Matthew McConaughey, Gina Gershon, Emile Hirsch, writer Tracy Letts and cinematographer Caleb Deschanel. The first half of the Q&A was mostly devoted to the fried chicken scene, so I can't elaborate any further on that. McConaughey answered a couple questions about getting into the character Killer Joe, and how he approached it as a very internalized character that is isolated from everyone around him. About midway, it was revealed that William Friedkin was on a phone line listening to the Q&A, and he joined in the discussion taking questions from audience members. He seemed a little baffled by the MPAA's decision to put an NC-17 rating on the film and asked audience members to raise their hands if they felt like it deserved the notorious rating. About 19 out of 1200 voted yes. It was a fun Q&A and I wish I could reveal more of the humourous input without spoiling the film, but everybody was fixated on that fried chicken scene. Can't say I blame them.
Killer Joe currently has no release schedule that I could find.
That's all for this installment. Keep an eye out for the next article where I take a look at the insane action film The Raid: Redemption, comedy 21 Jump Street, and Don Coscarelli's adaptation of John Dies at the End. Thanks for reading!

There's a big controversy brewing in the UK. BBC Radio 3, which is their classical music channel, will start a weekly Top 20 countdown of the country's top-selling classical releases. The charts will be compiled using both CD sales and downloads, so it will accurately reflect buying trends, but that's not the controversy. The larger question is simply whether or not there's any point to having classical music ape the trappings of popular music in order to attract listeners.
As Rupert Christiansen wrote in his Telegraph article, Radio 3's Classical Top 20 will be very dull indeed,
Why must classical music jump up and down and pretend to be what it isn't?
What depresses me is the way that classical music is constantly chasing after techniques of the pop sector, and ending up, like a paunchy middle-aged man squeezing himself into a pair of tight blue jeans, looking a bit silly and terminally uncool. The interesting kids I know today with open musical minds aren't the slightest bit interested in the charts: they have the confidence to listen to what they like and explore without reference to such crude and naff indicators as "the Top 20."
Why can't [classical music] stand aside from hype and ephemera and the silly business of judging success by numbers, and instead focus on its deepest strength – feeding a deep and serious appetite for art in which quality isn't judged by its place in a weekly sales list?
Well, we agree. And that's why WTJU plays the kind of classical music it does. Granted, for some people it can be tough listening. We don't program our classical music to be an upscale substitute for Muzak — lots of lush, orchestral music with a smattering of pleasing piano renderings for your background listening pleasure..
I doubt most of what we air would show up on a Top 20 chart, but that's OK. Safe to say all of our announcers have "a deep and serious appetite for art" and program their shows accordingly. Do you have the confidence to listen to what you like and explore outside the tried-and-true? (although we do play a fair amount of that as well)
Well then. Turn your radio dial to 91.1fm, or connect to our Internet feed and let's go!

The bridge that collapsed May 23 on Interstate 5 north of Seattle had been struck by a truck hauling an oversize load, authorities said.
"The size of the load he was carrying appeared to create a problem, causing him to strike the bridge," Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste said, according to Reuters.
Just two days before the collapse, the Seattle section of the American Society of Civil Engineers said the state's transportation infrastructure had "significant needs."
"Bridges were awarded a C-, in part due to the nearly 400 structurally deficient bridges in Washington State," it said, adding that "36 percent of Washington's bridges are past their design life of 50 years."
State Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson told reporters the bridge (at left) near Mount Vernon, Wash., was built in 1955. It was not among the more than 150 spans the state Department of Transportation listed as "structurally deficient" in 2011.
That was the year the American Society of Civil Engineers rated the nation's overall infrastructure a "D," with bridges receiving a "C." Of the country's nearly 600,000 bridges, 11.5 percent were rated "structurally deficient," according to Federal Highway Administration figures that year. Despite billions of dollars in annual federal, state and local funds for bridge maintenance, it was estimated that nearly $71 billion was needed to address the backlog of work needed.
Click ahead to see the states with the highest percentage of structurally deficient bridges from that 2011 report card. Washington state was the sixth-best among the 50 states and the District of Columbia that year.

Macro to simulate right clicking an NPC
I'm attempting to farm the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman but another guy is also farming it and has parked himself on a mammoth mount where the Ghostly Pandaren Fisherman spawns. I found a macro that allows me to pick his first option (which gives a rare item) but it requires me to be able to right click on him and open up his dialog options. I'm afraid that if I can't right click him or simulate a right click after targeting the mob, I'll lose out on his rare item and have to keep farming him.
This is what I have so far.
I just need something to simulate a right click where the ???? goes.

As far as I remember there is actually no macro for such action, so it's either use nameplates as Worldie suggests and right click on it, or use a /tar macro and keybind the interaction.

I use the interact with target keybind. After playing Guild Wars 2 for a bit, I got used to using F to interact, so I have it bound now on my WoW toons for that same purpose. It's very useful along with nameplates for selecting targets.

Recommendations for Tdap vaccine change
The recommended administration of a vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, has changed for 2013.
Auglaize County Health Department Nursing Supervisor Cindy Jones said the new recommendations for when Tdap should be administered is a "big change."
The changes include a recommendation that the vaccine be administered to pregnant women during each pregnancy between 27 and 36 weeks gestation, regardless of the number of years it has been since the expectant mother last received the vaccine.
The 2013 Immunization Schedule, approved by Auglaize County Health Board members this week, also recommends Tdap be administered to all adults not previously receiving the vaccine, regardless of the last time they were vaccinated for any of the individual components.
The idea is that the protection could be passed on to infants, more of whom have been contracting pertussis, or whooping cough, Jones said.
"At this time, that first vaccine is not offered until their 2-month visits," Jones said. "It can be devastating to little ones if they get it."
She said through the years, the recommended interval between receiving the vaccine has varied, starting at 10 years, then going to 2 years, and now with no interval recommended.
"Newborns need that protection now," Jones said, noting that the county has seen several cases of whooping cough in infants.
She also is working to educate local medical providers.
"Everything that coughs is not the flu," Jones said. "We have had several cases and I think there is much more out there than is diagnosed."
The nursing supervisor said she isn't blaming the medical community, but asks patients to bring "all the pieces to the puzzle" with them to appointments so they can receive a proper diagnosis.
She advised them to stay with one physician and record symptoms if possible, it is how one mother recently got a diagnosis of whooping cough for her child after multiple visits to a physician.
During January, there were five reported cases of pertussis in Auglaize County — all children, ranging in age from 3 to 15 years old.
Jones said it confirms the reasoning behind the requirement of the Tdap booster vaccine for students entering the seventh grade.
According to the CDC, since the 1980s, there has been an increase in the number of cases of pertussis, especially among preteens and teens and babies younger than 6-months-old. In 2010, there were 27,550 reported cases of pertussis nationally with 26 deaths reported. Several states have reported increases in cases or localized outbreaks of pertussis, including a statewide epidemic in California.
The CDC recommends the Tdap vaccine beginning with preteens and teens, whose original immunization as children has begun to wear off.
Auglaize County Medical Director Dr. Juan Torres said he tries to give the Tdap, rather than just the tetanus, to people who come in with injuries.
"I care less about a little cut and more about prevention in the future for a grandchild," Torres said.

RALEIGH � A gun-rights advocacy group is running radio commercials criticizing University of North Carolina system leaders for opposing a bill that would allow students and staff to bring a concealed pistol on campus.
Grass Roots North Carolina said ads starting Tuesday in three markets urge listeners to call Senate leader Phil Berger to move ahead legislation that passed the House this month. A provision would allow legally concealed weapons to be stored in locked cars on public college campuses.
UNC system President Tom Ross and campus police say the weapons would raise the risk of violence on campus. The ad points to recent sexual assaults on UNC system schools and uses the voice of what sounds like a female student lamenting being unable to bring her legal weapon on campus.

Toyota To Build Highlanders in Mississippi by 2010 and Employ 2,000 - VIDEO ENHANCED
TUPELO, MS - February 28, 2007: Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour joined Toyota officials yesterday to announce that the company has chosen a 1,700-acre site in Blue Springs, Mississippi to build its eighth North American vehicle assembly plant.
The new plant, to be located just outside of Tupelo, will have the capacity to build 150,000 vehicles annually of Toyota's popular Highlander sport utility vehicle. Production is scheduled to begin by 2010.
The new plant represents a $1.3 billion investment by Toyota and is expected to create approximately 2,000 new jobs for the region and indirectly create work for many more. Operations at the plant will include stamping, body weld, plastics, paint, and assembly.
Governor Barbour, speaking at a news conference held in Tupelo, welcomed Toyota's decision to set up operations in Mississippi.
"We in Mississippi and especially North Mississippi are excited to have been chosen by Toyota as its partner," said Governor Barbour. "Toyota is the world's premiere auto manufacturer and our state will be the best partner the company has."
Toyota manufacturing Executive Vice Presidents, Gary Convis and Ray Tanguay, joined Governor Barbour at the announcement to help deliver the good news to local citizens.
Convis addressed Toyota's challenge in balancing rapid growth while maintaining the company's superior quality standards, noting the recent start up of Tundra production in San Antonio and upcoming launch of Camry production at the Subaru plant in Lafayette, Indiana.
"We are excited for the opportunity to do business in Mississippi and are confident the team members here will have a commitment to perform at the highest possible level," he said. "Governor Barbour and the regional economic development team were very convincing and unrelenting in their efforts to showcase the area's advantages," Convis said, while acknowledging that competition among several states for the new plant was tough.
Tanguay also pointed out several factors that led to Toyota's site selection decision. "On my visits to Northern Mississippi, I have talked with area companies and observed their workforce," said Tanguay. "What I observed were people who are educated, ethical and friendly with a strong work ethic – a perfect match for the Toyota Way." He added that the area's existing companies had high praise for the workforce. "They were definitely the best sales people."
Convis and Tanguay both recognized the contributions of the team who worked on bringing Toyota's fifth vehicle assembly plant to the U.S., citing the team effort put forth by state and local officials and the private sector.
"The partnership of all of these groups was instrumental to our decision, including the creation of a new rail district to provide competitive rail access for the plant," said Tanguay.
"We're honored that Toyota has chosen to invest in our state and grow with Mississippians," said Trent Lott, Senator of Mississippi. "This is a partnership between one of the world's best companies, and a state which has already proven itself capable of attracting the world's top defense, automotive and aerospace jobs."
Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran and Congressman Roger Wicker also participated in the announcement.
Site preparation and construction for the plant is scheduled to begin later this spring. A majority of the hiring will take place closer to the start of vehicle production.

gracias por su trabajo
This manga like 17 sai kiss to dilemma. And sometimes like Heroine shikkaku.
The main guy super duper cute. But what a manipulative guy. I hope he has limitless patience to wait for Rizu to realize her feelings.
i think Shota should make Risu to fall in love with him it's easy way than get rid of who will fall in love with hers but this point make this manga different from the others
thanks for translation > <
Why can't I see the manga? There is nothing in this page?!
You have to register to otakumole first. But, it was disable since 2015's.

I love this manga. The male character has a spoiled personality and he becomes dangerous when someone tries to hurt his babysitter. This is so cool. It's still 1 chapter in mamgafox, etc.
How can we read this? I would be really grateful if someone could tell me. Thanks!

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) – State officials are investigating the company that handled the demolition of a Central California power plant where five spectators were injured.
The state's Division of Occupational Safety and Health said Monday that it's looking into whether Alpha Explosives broke any regulations Saturday when pieces of shrapnel flew into a crowd of more than 1,000 spectators during the plant's demolition in Bakersfield.
The Lincoln, Calif.-based company was hired by Pacific Gas and Electric Co. to manage the demolition of the plant's boiler structures. The companies worked with local authorities to set up a safe perimeter 1,000 feet from the site.
Even though spectators stood beyond the safety perimeter, one man's leg was severed by shrapnel and four other observers sustained minor injuries during the demolition.

Jean Kilbourne's work on exposing sexism and racism in American advertising is an excellent example. I remember watching one of her presentations and she said something to the effect of, "The first thing people always tell me is that ads don't have an effect on them." And yet, she adds, the average person is exposed to hundreds of ads a day, each one filled with sexist and racist imagery. Psychologists and sociologists have already established that people internalize what they're exposed to, and it's a predominantly subconscious process. So they can protest and argue all they want, but it won't change the truth about what they are.
Author Benjamin Rich supports the fact that the same goes for white people who think they're immune to racism. A person cannot grow up in a "whitopia" (itself a product of maintained white privilege), hear racist dialogue daily, see the consistent exclusion of all things "Other" and magically not internalize some of that racism. That, in itself, is what I like to call delusional racism; i.e., they don't "think" it's there, so they confidently tell themselves (and proudly, stupidly tell others) that voila--it's not there! Their perceived immunity is nothing more than a denial-based fantasy created to keep them from having to think too deeply about racial reality in America--yet another form of white privilege.
Hollywood, as you should all know by now, is an institution I regularly hold accountable for not only overtly indulging racism, but falling back on delusional racism when confronted. To stay as coherent and as consistent as possible while discussing this, I'm going to stick to one example (and yes, it's a topic near and dear to me): Hollywood's unswerving emasculation of Asian & Asian-American men, and how real-life society mirrors that emasculation. By the way, if you're wondering why Miss Chocolatey Moi keeps scribbling about topics like this, it's because I want to practice what I preach: POC need to support one another, and progress will not be made without that support.
Now...let's move on.
They Just Can't...Seem to...Let It Go....
Pop quiz: list the last major serious film Hollywood released in which the leading man was Asian or Asian-American, not a martial artist, had a love interest, and was shown being undeniably, ahem, intimate with said love interest? Don't worry...I'll wait.
Needless to say, there hasn't been one. Oh, I'm sure if you sift through the made-for-TVs, indie flicks, and internet short films, you'll obviously find a few, but no major, big-name, big-budget, absolutely, positively got-to-go-to-opening-night movies--none. And seeing as we are already officially 10 years into the 21st century, the verdict on Hollywood in this matter is...FAIL.
They can "fix" that. White people are slated to become an American minority by 2042? They can "fix" that. Statistics indicate that POC aren't the biggest criminals in America and not overall pathologically violent? Oh...they're not a backward, savage backward group of folks? They can speak English fluently and have successful, diverse careers? No, problem--they can "fix" that! What's this? An unflinching, unfailing, never-diminishing, ever-increasing interest in Asia? No worries; they've had that fi--oh...you meant the men? Well, now...why, yes...one can see the cause for alarm. But no worries, my boy; they fixed that.
Pop quiz: what do all the following movies have in common?
Romeo Must Die
Kiss of the Dragon
The Tuxedo
The Medallion
The Last Samurai
Ninja Assassin
Quick answers: They're all "big" products of Hollywood from over the past decade (roughly), the leads are all Asian men who don't get laid (yes, Watanabe counts as a lead in Samurai), and even though America is home to approximately 13 million people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent, none of the lead actors are Asian-American. And when American actors of Asian descent do play a leading (and sometimes sexual) character, the film still always has...a sort of "problem". For one, the actors often aren't even playing Asian or Asian-American characters. And two, for some reason, the film often flops or just doesn't get taken seriously among adults.
Examples of Problem #1
Keanu Reeves in anything but Little Buddha
Russell Wong in The Prophecy II*
Mark Dacascos in Double Dragon and Brotherhood of the Wolf
His Royal Gloriousness, May He Forever Rest in Peace, Brandon Lee in The Crow
Examples of Problem #2
Ernie Reyes, Jr. in Surf Ninjas (which, by the way, co-stars Rob Schneider, a Filipino Jew who doesn't play an Asian here)
Mark Dacascos, again, in Double Dragon
Russell Wong, again, in The Prophecy II
John Cho & Kal Penn in the Harold & Kumar films
*By the way, in The Prophecy II, Jennifer Beals and Russell Wong (hint hint) actually demonstrate some very hot Blasian lovin' which apparently doesn't "count" because both actors are playing white-ish people (the video is edited and has low quality, but you get the gist).
Mirror, Mirror, Break and Fall....
Because Hollywood isn't churning out film after film with leading Asian-American males, Asian-American men tend to feel they're either one of two things: viewed by strangers as some linguistically-handicapped foreigner (and they usually are being viewed thusly by the "outside") or altogether invisible. That people hold up some of the aforementioned films to comfort [read: pacify] Asian & Asian-American men is delusional racism. It implies that Hollywood is showing "some" [read: insufficient] appreciation for Asian & Asian-American men and that if women aren't willing to date this these men, it's simply their "preference" (a word which requires a whole other rant).
Obviously, I do not co-sign.
I did a brief piece on the [old] Blasian Narrative about Ninja Assassin fanfiction, and how the white girls writing it tell us soooooo much about how they see (and don't see) Asian men. Now, I honestly am glad that they too recognized the error in keeping Raizo and Mika from getting intimate. It gives me faith in young people that they could point this out and try to remedy it. However...I noticed that more than one author portrayed Raizo as an awkward, clueless virgin. I'll admit I wasn't alarmed when the first author did it (maybe I'm getting old and losing my touch), but by the third fic I was appalled.
I also saw that one writer hadn't noticed Asian men before, and now that she has, she's sort of struggling to reconcile this attraction with previously established ones (notice how she describes Mika's thoughts towards the white character, Maslow). She's also trying very hard not to sound racist (fails), not to sound clueless (fails), and sounds almost desperate to "convince" readers Raizo really is an attractive man. But...what if she's merely trying to convince herself Raizo is attractive and that it's okay to think so? Have a gander:
In repose Raizo looked so young, so vulnerable. How could anyone do anything to hurt him? The very thought was like the idea of dropping baby bunnies into a blender while they were still alive and hitting 'puree'. Raizo certainly wasn't some sexy, older, powerful, worldly man – not like Maslow. There was a time when Ryan had made her stomach flutter, nothing had happened of course, but that hadn't made Mika blind to his appeal. No, Raizo wasn't anything like Maslow. For Mika, Maslow had only been an idea, a thrill of titillation. By comparison Raizo appealed to the protective urges Mika had, and her own need for protection. To feel like there was a big, strong man around who would check under her bed, in her closets and keep all the nasty monsters in there from coming out to get her in the night. And to feel like she was serving and protecting someone who needed it so desperately.
That wasn't everything, but it was enough for a foundation for Mika to be curious. To want to know more, to understand more, to do more. Raizo was annoyingly attractive, and she didn't even like Asian guys, too many horror stories from her Taiwanese dorm mate – what would her mama say? 'Asian men don't like strong women', 'be prepared to clean a lot and feel shame if you don't give birth to tons of boys' or even 'oh dear, that's going to be a small penis'. As open minded as her mom was, she was still a little in the dark about other cultures, even a little racist at times despite having married a half-black, half-Italian. Even if that was almost exactly what Mai had described her brothers like, and the guys her parents wanted her to marry. Smiling at the silliness of that, Mika wished she was better at placing the Asian ethnic groups, but she was a fact finder, not an ethnologist. Which didn't mean she wasn't going to try and shuffle through the built in database that was her brain.
Raizo seemed too big to be from most of the Asian groups found in China, maybe Korean, they got pretty big nowadays. Running the tip of a finger over the fringe of eyelashes that touched the tops of Raizo's cheeks, or maybe he was Japanese. Definitely not Vietnamese, that much Mika could be sure of. Utterly wrong build in the torso, facial structure, and coloring on top of all that. Making it a game, Mika studied Raizo, allowing her thoughts to wander from one topic to another. Maybe she should buy him a teddy bear, or give him her baby blanket to keep him company so he would know what it was like to have something snuggly when bad dreams came?See what I mean?
This is yet another example in a long string of examples of how stereotypes and limited thinking get passed from one generation to the next. Notice the ventriloquism used to justify the "discussion"; it's not the "writer" thinking these things, it's Mika who "doesn't really like Asian guys". It's Mika's black mother and her Taiwanese ex-roommate who have all these negative notions of Asian men. (Also notice the writer's subconscious need to "whiten" Mika somehow, with the gratuitous attraction to her white coworker and unnecessary details about her paternal ancestry--and yes, it's a really annoying trend in fandom. I'm actually half-shocked the writer didn't just go ahead and theorize Raizo was the bastard offspring of a white tourist...you know, to explain his "atypical build" for an Asian).
I initially gave some of these writers some praise and gratitude for trying (and very delicate criticism when I could). One writer skipped all this nonsense and just got to the sex, and I commended her loudly.
But in meantime, I think you get my point. I mean, if you're an Asian or Asian-American guy in America, how on earth do you even begin to deal with all of that? Where the hell are you expected to start? No, seriously--what are you supposed to do?
