Saltatory Conduction
I need help understanding saltatory conduction in nerve fibers. I understand how an action potential functions at a local node, but I don't fully understand how that event directly triggers the action potential at the next node. Are the ion channels at each node triggered (1) directly by electromagnetic fluctuations resulting from a transverse current across the membrane at the previous node, or (2) are they triggered by the longitudinal flow of ions within the axon resulting from voltage differences between nodes (also resulting from flow of ions across membrane)? Can anyone help explain this to me?

Design Analysis
Specification Review
To avoid mistakes in an early stage we check all specification to establish its completeness during the enquiry process. Premature problems in the product life are often an indication that not every requirement was considered, this is often the root cause of a damage or defect.

Design analysis report for expansion joints by DEKOMTE
Reports and Engineering Recommendations
In our work it is our concern to embrace and understand existing site competences and to work as efficiently as possible. Available documentation and drawings are equally important as the experience and observation of operating engineers.
Design Validation by CFD and FEA
FEA is extremely valuable in evaluating failures or tasks in more complex plants or in construction systems with unknown operating conditions. It is very helpful for the plant operator but also for the expansion joint manufacturer to carry out flow calculations (CFD) and thermal analyses (FEA/FEM). This technology allows to analyse the plant construction and to have an effect against the actual physical difficulties in a focused way.

Expansion Joint Integration into Pipe and Ducting Systems
To evaluate a project in total we understand it as our task to consider the constructional situation of each plant from the beginning. The feasibility of an installation and the transport within the plant is strongly influenced by the design and methods of transportation and have to be considered for the sake of a cost saving and logistically realizable procedure. Under consideration of a logical, conclusive and cost-effective solution this coherence must not be neglected.

Honda Power Equipment is launching the official Collegiate Skinit Kit, an innovative accessory available exclusively for the popular Honda EU2000i Super Quiet Series portable generator. The Collegiate Skinit Kit consists of a line of thin, flexible generator covers, each imprinted with official team logos and graphics from one of 26 different college football teams. The kits are produced by Skinit, a leader in on-demand personalization technology, utilizing their proprietary, high quality 3MT vinyl printed with state-of-the-art digital presses for vibrant photo quality graphics. The Skinit Kits are designed to fit all EU2000i models, with the choke, check oil, and on/off label integrated into the design. The skins, which do not interfere with the safety warning or serial number label, are easy to apply and remove, leaving no residue. They are available at Honda dealers nationwide or online at www.honda.skinit.com.
"The Collegiate Skinit Kits allow owners of Honda EU2000i generators to customize their models," said Kathleen Tyndall, manager of Product Planning and Marketing, Honda Power Equipment. "Avid sports fans can show their team colors at tailgate parties, picnics and even on the job - wherever a Honda EU2000i generator provides quiet, clean, portable power."
Because increasing numbers of consumers are turning to fuel-efficient, portable generators for outdoor work and play, Honda generators can be found at job sites, campsites, picnics, tailgating events and marina parties, powering fans, TVs, radios, blenders, coffee pots, small power tools and notebook computers.
Honda was inspired to introduce the Collegiate Skinit Kit for EU2000i models after the successful launch of the company's EU2000iA Camo with the permanent, Natural GearT camo exterior.
Honda's EU2000i Super Quiet Series generator is an inverter-equipped, portable, lightweight model that features a totally enclosed body resulting in noticeably quieter performance. It provides up to 9.6 hours of running time on just 1.1 gallon of gasoline, and with a dry weight of just 46 pounds, it can be easily carried and conveniently stored in small compartments. What's more, it can simultaneously power a computer, TV, coffee pot, and refrigerator.
Honda Super Quiet EU models were the original generators to offer parallel capability: working in tandem, two lightweight Honda EU2000i models can deliver their full, combined power, easily able to start and run an RV air conditioner along with other appliances. In this scenario, each generator could be customized with a different Collegiate Skinit Kit.
The Honda Collegiate Skinit Kits for the EU2000i are available for the following teams:
· Big Ten: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Purdue.
· SEC: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi and Tennessee.
· Pac 10: Oregon, UCLA, USC, Washington and Washington State.
· ACC: Boston College, Florida State, NC State and Miami.
· Big 12: Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M.
· Independent: Notre Dame.
For more than 35 years, Honda generators, powered by Honda four-stroke engines, have set the industry standard for portable generators with the most extensive model selection for a variety of applications. Designed for the ultimate in quality, convenience, portability, quiet operation and fuel efficiency, Honda's recreational generators cover the full range of needs for any trip to the great outdoors.

Dr. Duncan A. Gordon
MD, FRCPC, FACP, MACR, FRCP Edin
After a one year fight with acute myelogenous leukemia, Duncan Alexander Gordon, passed away December 2, 2012, in his 83rd year. Duncan spent the last year of his life in his own home, treated with successful outpatient therapy until the last few days of his life.
Predeceased by his parents, A. Murray and Isabel Gordon of Sturgeon Falls, first wife Dr. Elizabeth Ann (Betsy) Munro, nephew Robert Crombie and beloved son Fraser Gordon. Survived by his sons Alex Gordon (Caitlin) and Campbell Gordon and their mother Dr. Kathy Pritchard; grandson Finlay Gordon; sisters Mary Jane Crombie (Guy), Carol Farnsworth (Donald) and brother Fred Gordon; cousin and best friend Gordon Taylor (Ginger); nieces and nephews Carol Crombie (Stephen Pile), John Crombie (Judith), Jane Gregor (Donald), Susan Farnsworth (Byron Guerron), Michael Farnsworth, Bill Pritchard,Andy Pritchard (Bishnu Sthrestha), and Lis Pritchard Smith; great nieces and nephews, Christopher and Emily Pile, Andrew and Anne Crombie, Keenan, Connor and Kaylee Gregor, Diego and Isabel Guerron and William Smith; brother-in-law Bob Pritchard (Barbara Caldwell), Uncle Bill and Aunt Edith Powles and his beloved housekeeper Margaret Ferran.
Duncan was a devoted father, grandfather, husband, brother and uncle and friend to many. Duncan enjoyed time at Six Mile Lake with his family. He loved golf and skiing and shared these passions with his sons and friends.
Duncan was born in the original Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital in North Bay, June 15, 1930 and remained strongly connected to North Bay and Northern Ontario, throughout his personal life and patient referrals. He was a graduate of Upper Canada College, and the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine. He studied Internal Medicine at the University of Toronto and McGill, and rheumatology and immunology with Dr. John Vaughan at Strong Memorial Hospital at the University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. The Canadian Rheumatology community has held Duncan in great affection as a key figure in the evolution of the specialty. He was a proponent for recognition of Canadian achievement in the international arena.
Duncan was a consultant in the Rheumatic Disease Unit at the Wellesley Hospital from 1964 to 1974, and the Director of Rheumatology at McMaster University from 1974 to 1976. He was a Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Rheumatology at the Toronto Western Hospital from 1976 until 1991, and remained on staff as a Senior Rheumatologist and Professor Emeritus until his retirement earlier this year. Duncan was known internationally as the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Rheumatology since 1979, past President of the Pan-American League of Associations for Rheumatology and Vice President of the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (1990 to 1994). He was a Master of the American College of Rheumatology, received the Award of Merit of the Arthritis Society in Canada, and was named to the Distinguished Rheumatologist Award of the Canadian Rheumatology Association in 1992.
Duncan will be fondly remembered by many young clinicians, whom he encouraged to ''write up your research,'' as both teacher and mentor. A contributor of historical vignettes and articles on the early days of Rheumatology, his love of learning, life and sense of humour will be sadly missed by all who knew him, including his ''other family'' at The Journal of Rheumatology, RDU staff, students, interns, residents, fellows and colleagues.
Thank you to the nursing and medical staff at Toronto General Hospital, and at Princess Margaret Hospital (outpatient and 15B). Special thanks to Dr. Andrzej Lutynski and his friend, colleague and physician, Dr. Mark Minden.
The family will receive friends for a visitation at Morley Bedford Funeral Services, 159 Eglinton Avenue West (2 lights west of Yonge St.) on Thursday December 6, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Memorial Service will be held at Glebe Road United Church, 20 Glebe Road East on Friday December 7 at 1 p.m. Reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Duncan A. Gordon Scholarship Fund, and mailed to The Arthritis Society.

BEIJING -- Chinese leaders Friday ordered soldiers into Beijing to attempt to restore order after a month of massive pro-democracy demonstrations, but residents swarmed to block the army's way.
By 8 a.m. today, more than 10 hours after the army advance began, the soldiers had made little headway into the city. Massive crowds swarmed around the army trucks, deflating tires and driving dump trucks and other heavy equipment into place to prevent them from moving.
Beijing Mayor Chen Xitong declared martial law in the urban areas of Beijing effective at 10 a.m. today. The order bans demonstrations, public petitions, strikes, boycotting of classes, spreading of rumors and distributing leaflets.
Networks Cut Off
The government ordered the Cable News Network to halt TV transmissions, and the American network ended its live coverage this morning. CBS also said its transmissions were stopped.
Authorities in other cities sought to deal locally with similar protests. In Shanghai, about 500 troops moved in early today to try to remove students demonstrating for democracy outside city government offices on the waterfront, Reuters news agency reported.
The troops were ordered into Beijing "to protect the normal functioning of important departments and central organs" because regular police were no longer able to ensure order, President Yang Shangkun said in a speech announcing the order.
During the past week, protests involving hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens as well as students have demanded the resignations of China's senior leader, Deng Xiaoping, 84, and of Premier Li Peng.
Advocate of Reform
Communist Party General Secretary Zhao Ziyang, China's leading advocate of rapid economic and political reform, reportedly opposed the crackdown ordered today and has offered his resignation, according to Chinese sources who spoke with Western reporters.
It appeared that Zhao has been--and may still be--engaged in a power struggle with other leaders.
Zhao has not been severely criticized by the demonstrators, and some expressed growing support for him this morning. Zhao had sought over the past few days to defuse the student demonstrations by calling them patriotic and linking them to a program of accelerated political reforms that he has long favored.
At least 200,000 people were gathered in Tian An Men Square around noon today in a show of defiance just two hours after mar tial law took effect. Workers who rallied in the square beneath a banner reading "Capital Workers Independent Union" praised Zhao for his stand on the student protesters.
"Before, we didn't know Zhao Ziyang's attitude," one worker said. "Now we know, and we support him."
Premier Li and President Yang announced the military action in speeches aired on radio and television shortly after midnight. The speeches were repeatedly rebroadcast in the early morning hours over government-controlled loudspeakers in Tian An Men Square, where about 100,000 pro-democracy protesters, including students and ordinary citizens, had spent the night.
At the center of the protest was a continuing core of about 2,000 hunger strikers in the square, students who have won widespread public support in a fast now entering its eighth day. A total of more than 3,000 students have taken part in the fast. More than 1,000 have been removed to hospitals, but some of them have returned to the square after treatment, according to medical personnel at the square.
"The capital is in a critical situation," Li said in his speech, made to a large meeting of high-ranking Communist Party and government officials. "A situation of anarchy is getting more and more serious. . . . On behalf of the Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council, I now call on the whole party, the whole army and the whole nation to make concerted efforts and act immediately at all posts so as to stop the turmoil and stabilize the situation."
The speeches of Li and Yang, the order for troops to move into Beijing, and the reaction of students and city residents to these decisions escalated the crisis faced by the government.
There were indications that the sentiment of most students and residents--at least those active in the protests--favored Zhao, who had made extremely conciliatory comments in a televised visit to student hunger strikers in Tian An Men Square on Friday morning.
One of the workers standing behind the union banner said it was of a new, independent citywide workers' union organized Friday afternoon.
"Soon the whole country will go on strike to support the students' patriotic movement," this man said.
Several workers said the protest movement is now aimed at supporting Zhao in what is perceived as a struggle with other leaders.
"Zhao Ziyang loves the country," one of these workers said. "He is at one with the students."
It appeared that no more than a few hundred army trucks, each carrying about 40 soldiers, were trying to enter the city overnight and that they were initially trying to avoid using force against those standing in their way.
Late this morning, about 3,000 people blocked three convoy trucks and a half dozen vehicles that appeared to be water cannons. The officer in charge of the group spoke for a few minutes with protesters on the back of a flatbed truck positioned to block the convoy's way. He then borrowed an electric megaphone from the demonstrators and declared to the crowd:
"We were not told the truth. We will leave and we will not be back. We are the people's army."
The crowd cheered wildly, and he saluted several times as the convoy drove aawy.
Elsewhere, though, there were scattered reports of clashes. According to United Press International, an American television crew filmed police near Tian An Men Square beating protesters with billyclubs.
Reuters reported that witnesses told it workers and peasants battled unarmed troops on the main road leading into Beijing 12 miles south of the city. At least one soldier was carried away unconscious after the 20-minute melee, the witnesses said.
Many of the soldiers and officers blocked by residents and students, however, did not appear greatly upset, and many said that they had not known about the scale of demonstrations in Beijing over the past week. Both Wednesday and Thursday, half a million or more people demonstrated in the streets of Beijing and in Tian An Men Square in support of the students' pro-democracy and anti-corruption demands. Some estimates placed the number of support demonstrators as high as 1 million.
Reports were already circulating among Chinese in Beijing on Thursday that the elite 38th Army, which has primary responsibility for protecting the capital, had refused to move against the demonstrators.
Premier Li charged that "a very small number of people" who seek to overthrow communism were behind the past month's protests.
"They spread rumors and smear party and government leaders," Li said. "They concentrate their attack on Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who has made great contributions. . . . Their purpose is to overthrow the people's government . . . and totally negate the people's democratic dictatorship. They stir up trouble everywhere, establish secret ties, set up illegal organizations and force the party and government to recognize them. In doing so they attempted to lay a foundation to set up opposition factions and opposition parties in China. If they succeed, the reform and opening to the outside world, democracy and legality and socialist modernization would all come to nothing."
Large numbers of people in Beijing, however, appeared to be on the side of students who provoked the crisis with their hunger strike and sit-down demonstration in Tian An Men Square. The students have been demanding that a top government leader meet with their leaders in a public, televised dialogue on ways to accelerate democratic reforms. The protests began in mid-May with general demands for press freedom, improved treatment of intellectuals and more effective measures against corruption.
At Shuangjing, on the southeastern side of Beijing, a dozen army trucks carrying a total of about 500 apparently unarmed soldiers were unable to move this morning after workers parked a construction crane and other vehicles to block their way forward and eight earth-moving trucks to block their retreat.
"Support Ziyang," someone in the crowd had chalked on the side of one truck, referring to Zhao, the embattled Communist Party chief, by his given name.
Zhao was not visible in the televised broadcast of Li's and Yang's speeches, nor was Deng, who, as chairman of the Central Military Commission, is commander in chief of the armed forces.
Crowds of people were also seen blocking army trucks on the west side of Beijing. Youths climbed onto the trucks, attached slogans to their sides and deflated their tires.
Workers positioned buses and dump trucks at key intersections around Beijing to block army access to the city.
Several military helicopters flew over the city this morning, apparently on observation flights, and then flew off.
In the Wukesong area in western Beijing, students lectured young soldiers on their cause.
"The top leaders, they have all stolen from the working people. That is why we are fighting them," a student declared to a truckload of soldiers blocked by the crowd.
Tank Column Reported
Several miles south of the city center, a reporter for United Press International reported seeing a column of 20 tanks halted, while civilians climbed over them and soldiers allowed children to stand in the turret hatches.
Elsewhere in the city, workers knelt before big green troop trucks filled with soldiers and slashed the tires, one American said, and students commandeered buses and parked them at a main intersection to stall a convoy.
In one neighborhood, crowds linked arms across a main street to keep a parked convoy of troop trucks from moving. An angry middle-aged woman climbed aboard one truck and demanded of the soldiers, "Where's your conscience?"
Premier Li, in his address, declared that "the situation in Beijing is still worsening, and has already affected many other cities in the country."
"In many places, the number of demonstrators and protesters is increasing," Li said. "In some places, there have occurred many incidents in which people broke into local party and government organs, along with beating, smashing, looting, burnings and other undermining activities that seriously violated the law.
"Recently, even some trains running on major railway lines such as the Beijing-Guangzhou line, a north-south trunk line, were intercepted, causing communications to stop."
In Washington, the State Department said the United States regrets that China ordered the military action restricting the freedom of the student-led protesters.
There have been reports that protesters in the central China city of Wuhan temporarily blocked a main north-south rail line that crosses the Yangtze River at Wuhan.
"All these have shown that this will lead to a nationwide turmoil if no quick action is taken to turn and stabilize the situation," Li said. "The nation's reforms and opening to the outside world, and the fate and future of the People's Republic are facing serious threat."

Hypostatic union (from the Greek: ὑπόστασις, "hypostasis," translated reality or person) [1] is a term in Christian theology used to describe the Incarnation expressing the revealed truth that in Christ one person subsists in two natures, the Divine and the human. [2]

Hi, my name is Barbara. I've trained for many years at the Newport Club, and also previously at Richard's previous club, Moonee Valley Judo Club. I gained my Black Belt (First Dan), in 2012. I really enjoy training at Newport for quite a few reasons, but the main ones are are the relaxed family atmosphere combined with the traditions of Judo itself. Jigaro Kano, the great man who put Judo together, was a progressive and creative man. This is still very evident in Judo today. The general standard of Martial Arts in Australia is very high and safely conducted, but this is particularly true of Judo. Judo has also always welcomed women and children, both overseas and here in Australia. If you train at the Newport Judo, it does not matter if you are training mainly to keep fit or as a serious competitor. You will be catered for. Also, if you are female, there are a number of girls and women training at the moment. Judo also has a long and interesting history and is quite artistic. Come along and find out while getting fit!

Newport Judo Club and the Head teacher Richard Roper are more than just Judo , Self defence and fitness. Judo teaches principles that are life changing. Richard is knows judo and also brings to life priciples of awareness of what is around you, exporing possibilities and options ( for example, using your voice to create safety and avoid phsysical risk) and understanding that one has to make choices and commit - A judo student learns many throws and techniques bringing choice but execution requires commitment and follow through. Newport judo and Richard have given my family a gift not just of judo and fitness but lessons in the 'judo way' that are a gem for life and business.

New to judo & was worried, but Newport Judo Club is great!
01-09-2015 by Shannon
I'm completely new to judo and martial arts in general, and before I started doing judo at Newport Judo Club my physical health was fairly poor, so I was nervous, thinking that after my first session I was going to walk away bruised and never wanting to get on the judo mat ever again! I needn't have worried at all - Richard and the club at Newport are a welcoming, diverse bunch and you soon feel part of the team. There is lots to be learned about Japanese judo and its traditions, but Richard is great at laying it out in a way that isn't too overwhelming, whilst giving you the tools to learn productively and be respectful to the traditions. You might be interested in judo from a self-defense standpoint. I certainly am - particularly as a young woman! - Richard has some great anecdotes and has often come over and shown me useful techniques where it's relevant. There is definitely a lot to learn, and Newport Judo Club has a range of people with different belts and in my experience everyone has something useful to teach me, and it's great that Richard encourages that kind of friendly environment. I'm (obviously) part of the Seniors class but I've shown up early for the Juniors by accident a few times, and the kids look like they're having a blast too so that's great!
What makes Judo so unique?
The first thing you learn in practically all Asian Martial Arts is how to bow - something that is foreign to most other activities in western life. Why is this important? Because it teaches respect. Something that is precious and often all too rare today. As well as all too often too absent from most sports.In most forms of Martial Arts the second things you are taught is how to kick, punch or grapple. But in Judo the second thing you learn is how to fall and how to get up from that fall. Know...Read more

It looks like several companies are learning what happens when you mess with the internet - and they're learning it the hard way. Several major companies have been hit by the collective powers of Anonymous after 4chan launched several distributed denial-of-service attacks. What many have been predicting for a long time now has finally happened: an actual war between the powers that be on one side, and the internet on the other. Update: PayPal has admitted their WikiLeaks snub came after pressure from the US government, and Datacell, which takes care of payments to Wikileaks, is threatening to sue MasterCard over Wikileaks' account suspension. Update II: Visa.com is down due to the attack. Update III: PayPal has caved under the pressure, and will release the funds in the WikiLeaks account.

Here is a short plot summary of The Comedy of Errors:
In Ephesus, ruled by Duke Solinus, Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse, stands trial for landing in a country where Syracusians are banned. Egeon explains how 23 years before he had lost his wife and one of their identical twin sons, with the boy's companion, also an identical twin boy, in a storm at sea. Egeon had brought up the surviving boys but at eighteen they had gone in search of their lost brothers. Not hearing from them Egeon had also left home to seek news and has now arrived at Ephesus. Solinus is softened by the story and allows Egeon until sunset to try to raise 1000 marks ransom, or he must die.
Meanwhile, in a nearby marketplace a merchant has befriended two tourists, Antipholus of Syracuse (Egeon's son) and his servant companion, Dromio. Learning of the ban on Syracusians, they take on local dress before going to explore the town, where, unknown to them, their twin brothers have been living after being saved from the storm by fishermen who brought them up in Corinth.
Antipholus of Syracuse is much surprised to be accosted by Dromio of Ephesus who is angry that his master has not returned home to his wife, Adriana, for dinner. The likeness of the Dromio twins to each other, and also between the sons of Egeon leads to a series of confusions whereby Antipholus of Syracuse dines with his sister-in- law and at the same time falls in love with her sister, Luciana. His servant prevents entry to their own home by Antipholus and Dromio of Ephesus and their merchant friends. This exclusion leads Antipholus to resort to his friend the courtesan.
A chain previously ordered from Angelo, the goldsmith, is delivered to the wrong Antipholus and Angelo's claim for payment leads to the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, while Adriana, fearing for her husband's sanity gets Dr. Pinch, the schoolmaster, to exorcise them. While they are under restraint their Syracusian brothers cause panic in the town but, frightened themselves, they take refuge in a priory.
The sunset hour of Egeon's sentence arrives, and the Duke returns but is stopped by Adriana who appeals for aid as he has befriended her husband in the past. The Ephesian twins, having escaped their bonds, arrive to claim justice and Egeon recognises them, as he thinks, the boys he brought up in Syracuse. Solinus sends for the Abbess who appears, to everyone's surprise, with the second pair of twins. She further amazes everyone by recognising Egeon. She is Aemilia, his long-lost wife, who, surviving the storm and fearing all her family to be dead, had entered a religious order.
When all have told their stories Antipholus of Syracuse renews his suit to Luciana, the Duke pardons Egeon, and everyone goes to celebrate the reunions at the home of Adriana and Antipholus of Ephesus. Dromio of Syracuse happily passes the attentions of Adriana's servant girl, who has pursued him since the dinner at Adriana's house, back to his brother and the two joyfully leave the stage hand in hand.

J-Law reveals her ultimate dinner party guest list
Actor Jennifer Lawrence has always been open about her love of reality TV, so it should come as no surprise that an ultimate dinner party would include reality stars as guests.
During a Hollywood Reporter cover interview with Oprah Winfrey, the 27-year-old spoke about Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein and the 2014 photo hack. She has had dinner with stars including Adele and Emma Stone, but Lawrence still put some serious thought into her top three dinner picks, all of which are stars from shows she binges in her down time.
"Three people you'd like to have at a dinner party, living or dead?" Winfrey asked Lawrence during the interview.
"Scott Disick [from Keeping Up With the Kardashians], Luann [de Lesseps] from Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny Frankel," Lawrence admitted before adding, "And I'm not proud of that, but that's what comes from my heart."
Perhaps the Oscar-winning actress is onto a new spin-off concept, Dinner with the Kardashians, after spilling the beans that she has already shared a drunken dinner with the whole family at Kris Jenner's home while guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
"I drank five martinis and wound up naked in her closet, I'm dead serious," Lawrence said during her opening monologue before she interviewed Kim Kardashian. "It was everything I could've dreamed of."
In 2014, Lawrence also made known her love of the Real Housewives franchise during an interview with Vanity Fair.
"I do love my Real Housewives ??? New York Housewives, and Beverly Hills, New Jersey and Atlanta Housewives," she told the publication. "I mean, I love them all, but Miami - oh, my God! Miami is really special."
She added: "Basically, what I'm saying is all I need in a relationship is somebody to watch TV with me."

A Nashville attorney representing Crosland Southeast, the Charlotte, N.C.-based retail and mixed-use development firm that signed a contract in February to purchase the mostly dormant Oak Ridge Mall property, has drafted a response to an email sent out Thursday by a lone Oak Ridge City Council member to the Anderson County mayor and Anderson County Commission suggesting a change in the wording of a TIF resolution for the Mall redevelopment.
A Nashville attorney representing Crosland Southeast, the Charlotte, N.C.-based retail and mixed-use development firm that signed a contract in February to purchase the mostly dormant Oak Ridge Mall property, has drafted a response to an email sent out Thursday by a lone Oak Ridge City Council member to the Anderson County mayor and Anderson County Commission suggesting a change in the wording of a TIF resolution for the Mall redevelopment.
The original email from Council member Trina Baughn, which was sent out to local and state government officials at 10:57 a.m. Thursday, was also sent to The Oak Ridger at 10:58 a.m. Thursday. The Mall property developers' response — though apparently sent to Anderson County Commission members and Oak Ridge City Council members within three hours after Baughn's original Thursday morning email — wasn't forwarded to The Oak Ridger until late Saturday afternoon. Consequently, Baughn's "guest column" is printed in its entirety in today's Nov. 18 print edition of The Oak Ridger and the Crosland Southeast response will be printed in The Oak Ridger's next print edition on Nov. 19.
In part, Baughn's missive states: "The developer (Crosland Southeast) has indicated an expectation for completion of the build out by December 2016. I encourage the (County) commission to discuss the inclusion of a risk mitigation clause … requiring that at least 65 percent of the planned new retail square footage be completed by December 2018 to avoid nullification of the agreement. Such an allowance would limit the number of years to a more reasonable timeframe should a worst-case scenario unfold while ensuring that some revenue is eventually produced for the benefit of the taxpayers."
In the Crosland Southeast response, Nashville attorney Jim Murphy states, "I would like to respond to Ms. Baughn's suggestion that the tax increment financing (TIF) funding for the redevelopment of the Oak Ridge Mall be nullified if at least 65 percent of the planned new retail square footage is not completed by December 2018. As has been explained by Ray Evans in the meetings of the Operations Committee and the Budget Committee, the proposed redevelopment of the Oak Ridge Mall requires a public-private partnership. After carefully reviewing the project's pro forma, the city officials who have been involved in negotiating the incentives with Crosland were convinced that there was a funding gap of $13 million that could be bridged by the use of the TIF funding. Without that $13 million in TIF funding, the project would not go forward."
Ray Evans of Oak Ridge serves as city consultant on the Crosland Southeast redevelopment project. Murphy continues: "To obtain the $13 million in TIF funds, Crosland will have to find a lender willing to loan the $13 million to the IDB so that the funds will be available at the time that Crosland closes on the acquisition of the Mall. That lender will have to be comfortable that the incremental increase in property tax revenues resulting from the redevelopment of the Mall will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the $13 million TIF loan, since the lender will have no recourse against the county, the city or the IDB other than the amount of incremental property tax revenues received by the IDB.
"Therefore Crosland will not be able to obtain a commitment from a lender to loan the $13 million to the IDB unless Crosland can convince the lender that there will be sufficient new development within the project to generate enough incremental property taxes to pay the principal and interest on the TIF loan. …
"Adding the proposed nullification language also makes the TIF loan impossible to finance as no lender will loan money that is to be paid back out of incremental tax revenues if the availability of those incremental tax revenues can be terminated before the loan is paid off. In addition the potential tenants that Crosland seeks to attract to the redeveloped project want to be assured that the TIF funding needed to make the project possible will be available when Crosland is ready to close on the land. Having the possibility that the TIF funding will not be available due to the fact that no lender will make a loan where the payment stream could be eliminated before the loan is paid off will prevent Crosland from securing the commitments from the tenants who are needed to make the project a success."
Baughn's letter went out just three days after her fellow Oak Ridge City Council members voted 6-0 to approve the Economic Impact Plan for $13 million in tax increment financing. Baughn abstained from that vote, stating concerns about supporting the timeline associated with the TIF.
The Oak Ridge Industrial Development Board recommended the TIF plan following a public hearing in October and the Anderson County Commission's Operations Committee and Budget Committee approved the plan earlier this month.
As alluded to in the Crosland Southeast response, the full Anderson County Commission is scheduled to vote on the TIF recommendation today (Nov. 18) in Room 312 of the Anderson County Courthouse in Clinton — following a presentation on the city of Oak Ridge's tax increment financing project for the Mall property which begins at 6 p.m.
During the City Council's last meeting on Nov. 11, Crosland Southeast's Tim Sittema said the company has been working on the Oak Ridge project for most of the year and stated, "This is not an easy project."
Crosland Southeast has proposed an estimated $85 million in construction costs to redevelop the Mall property and asked for the $13 million TIF plan that is to be recouped over a 20-year period through NEW property taxes in retail, business and residential activity.
"Following the model of the recent Aubrey's/Panera site on South Illinois Avenue, this TIF will not put any public dollars at risk with generating funds for improvements to the site," a September release stated. And, with the success of the South Illinois Avenue project, city consultant Evans has stated: "We are positive about this financing approach that puts no taxpayer money at risk and requires the developer to assume all the financial risk."
During last week's Council meeting, both Crosland Southeast attorney Tom Trent and Sittema reiterated neither the city of Oak Ridge nor Anderson County nor the Industrial Development Board will be liable under the plan — stating the project is "success based." Trent said the expectation is there will be $78 million in sales annually and the project could generate between 900 and 1,000 jobs for future employees who will spend money and possibly buy homes in Anderson County.
"If we demolish (the property) tomorrow and don't build," Sittema explained to Council members, "there'd be no 'increment' generated. The only way it works is with a public investment.
"If you don't approve, there's no deal … period. Safeguards exist; this is a success-based project."
Oak Ridge City Manager Mark Watson — as well as Sittema, Trent and Murphy of Crosland Southeast — are expected to speak during the opening comments period of tonight's Anderson County Commission meeting. In addition to the Oak Ridge project, Crosland Southeast has also developed projects in several other Southeastern communities including the Biltmore Town Square in Asheville, N.C., and the Providence Marketplace in Mt. Juliet, Tenn.
Working with the city of Oak Ridge for the past several months, Crosland Southeast intends to develop and implement a plan that will convert the once-thriving Mall site into a multi-use "work-live-play-shop" destination that will attract shoppers and young people to the center of town.

I got pregnant when I was 38. When that happened, my obstetrician handed me a chart with all the stats that didn't inspire much confidence in my odds of a perfectly healthy baby. I got lucky. Henry arrived with all the required pieces and parts. I tried to have a perfect pregnancy, and I was determined to be a perfect mother. It would've been a huge help if my doctor handed me a chart that showed the odds of that not being in my favor either.
I'm a control freak, an A-type personality, and I adore order. I'm also a rider. This isn't a great combination. It has become apparent, as the mother of a just-turned-3-year-old, that my issues have no place in the riding arena or with my son. I'm learning to let go and trust before the jump, across country, on the playground and during play dates.
My biggest test to date was my three-week-long trip with my son and husband, Darren, to Australia. Darren's family lives outside of the capital city of Adelaide. It's beautiful country; rolling hills, gum trees, stone houses and horse country to the bone, with a healthy dose of sheep and cattle throughout the countryside. And it's flooded with foxes.
The local hunt is the Adelaide Hunt, and Darren has been friends with the huntsman, Andrew Grey, since he was about 14. Needless to say, hunting was on the agenda. Now I've hunted in Australia as a newlywed before (and that's another story for another time) but as a mother, this was a new kettle of fish.
As Henry gets older, and the magnitude of responsibility of motherhood occurs to me, I feel my nerve slip away. I over-think everything, but I'm trying not to so I don't think myself out of everything. I don't want to end up knitting in a corner somewhere with an unhealthy addiction to "Cupcake Wars."
I'm also a bit stubborn. Add that to a control issue, and it can get a bit irksome for those around me at times. As with horses, there's only so much planning you can do and the rest is up to the universe. Stuff happens. I'm learning to let it. Stop fearing the "what if's" and just roll with it. Hunting and riding have always been my outlet. I understand it's important to take time for yourself so you can be a good mother. That's harder than it sounds, but I know how much more balanced I am when I've had my "horse time."
The Journey Begins
I started planning for our trip about two months before we left. Our luggage weighed to the ounce, extra diapers stuffed in each nook and cranny, clothes for four seasons, toys and games to amuse a toddler and (hopefully) a good sense of humor, we were ready to head to the airport. It felt like packing for a horse trials except I forgot the horse, trailer and all of my tack. An hour and a half into the journey, we blew a tire. Fifteen minutes later and an hours' traffic delay, we made it by the skin of our teeth to our flight. Not an ideal start and a great way to unleash the anxiety fairy within me. It would be funny later.
After 30 hours of travel, door-to-door, we arrived in Adelaide on Henry's third birthday, and a party was organized the following night with more aunts, uncles, cousins and family than I'd ever experienced.
We confirmed that night that Darren's cousin, Kylie, would babysit Henry the next day while we hunted. Kylie and her husband have three girls ages 5, 2 and 4 months. I couldn't quite understand why she'd want to add to that, but Darren assured me she wasn't just being polite. On top of her experience with her own kids, Kylie had been a professional nanny.
When I put Henry to bed that night, I told him about our plans for the following day; a routine I did at home to prepare him for potential appointments or babysitters. To him the main point was that he got to see his cousins again and play with their toys—an idea that excited him quite a bit. Having Henry meet the relatives the night before their play date was like being able to school the cross-country course before a horse trials, and I felt like I'd done my homework.
First Hunt Jitters
The next day, Henry lit up like a Christmas tree at the familiar faces and new-to-him toys in Kylie's tidy house, which resembled a piece of daycare heaven. He made a beeline for the play kitchen and, without looking behind him, said goodbye and blew us a kiss. No spooking, bucking or rearing, this kid headed into the arena like a pro.
Darren and I looked at each other, stunned, and almost ran to the car. When we got to the meet however, all my nerves about leaving Henry in a "strange" place with "strangers" morphed into riding nerves with each passing open mile of hunt country… and hunt fences.
The jumps here are in wire fence lines. They have a round rail on top of a wire fence like the airiest jumper vertical in natural wood you can imagine with no ground line and set between 3' and 3'6". Done on grassland on a horse I'd never sat on before. Henry who?
When we got to the meet, Darren plugged in the cell phone to charge and assured me it was best left in the car than to risk losing it out of a coat pocket. That's when the "what if's" raged in my head about falling off, getting hurt, Henry getting hurt, and on it went. I nodded numbly and briefly entertained not going, but then that stubborn streak showed up and powered through the voices in my head.
Andrew pointed out my horse, Bundy, tied to the cattle truck he uses to haul horses and hounds. Bundy was named after an Australian rum drink, Bundaberg, and I wondered if it was because you needed some in order to ride him, or because he was so wonderful, he made you feel giddy like you'd had some.
Bundy was a small bay gelding who looked kind and relaxed on the ground. As soon as I got on him, however, his engine revved, and he minced around like a zippy little rabbit. Great.
Our first fox gave us a nice warm-up across the open lake lands. I tucked in near the joint-master, Richard, who was whipping-in. However our first jump did nothing to settle my nerves. Andrew jumped it following the hounds slightly to the right. Richard followed, but his horse drifted and ended up blasting through the top rail, plucking the wire fence like a guitar string. The twang of the fence and subsequent clambering made Bundy's ears prick, and before I knew it, he had run down the fence line and opted for the pure wire-topped fence to the right of the hunt jump.
I sat in the back seat, slipped the reins and hoped for the best. Not an ideal start, but this horse knew his job. The hounds struck a second fox, and we kept the steady pace of the day. On this approach, I opted to give Richard a good distance. I picked up a steady trot, kept my right leg on and opened my left rein. Two strides out, Bundy cantered and, though a bit deep to the base, jumped straight and over the rail. Huge sigh of relief and a big pat. I was now looking forward to my third fence. The foxes didn't cooperate however, and there were no more jumps that day.
The meet was at 10 a.m., and we were back at the trailers by about 1:30. Once my horse was untacked, I made a beeline for the car to check the cell phone. No missed calls. I called Kylie to let her know we were back. I'm sure I sounded a bit peculiar on the phone, breathless and excited and relieved all at the same time; I'd survived the hunt, and my son was OK. I was starting to enjoy my trip.
After a hunt breakfast at the local pub, we headed to Kylie's to pick up Henry. He was having so much fun that he didn't even notice we were standing in the living room for a few minutes. We climbed into the car, and Henry and I were asleep in about five minutes.
A Close Call
My mount for the next hunt was Danny, A lanky, gray gelding who was in his mid- to late 20s but didn't act like it… and jigged like crazy when hacking home. Super. I didn't really click with him but was happy with his first two jumps—it made up for all his other idiosyncrasies—so I shut off my brain and tried to focus on the hound work. It also helped stop the creeping guilt that showed up at checks about leaving Henry.
Once again we covered miles of open country. As we followed the hounds across a swampy cover, I heard Andrew calling back towards Richard who started yelling too. Over the wind in my ears and the sound of galloping hoof beats, there was a delay in what they were saying. Then Danny stumbled, and I instinctively sat back and took a pull. They were yelling: "Holes!"
Huge, cavernous rabbit warrens and a minefield of them. Danny showed his class, intelligence and experience by pulling himself up and standing like a statue when he stumbled at the first sign of them. Killian, the whipper-in, was going at a flat gallop on a young and inexperienced horse and didn't fare as well. He sliced through the air like a yard dart and went head first into the holey ground. His horse fell and was just short of somersaulting on top of his rider. I could hear Killian groaning and trying to sit up. His horse took twice as long to right himself as they'd both had the wind clean knocked out of them.
Darren was the first to reach the scene. I got off Danny and grabbed Darren's horse. The terrier man zoomed over in his truck, and everyone pulled up. Though no doctors were out that day, a football coach (Aussie Rules football) was car following and was used to tending injured players. He got Killian sorted and back to the meet and later off to the hospital. We found out he'd fractured two vertebrae in his back, but they were stable and just needed rest and some good painkillers.
I spent most of the jigging ride home in tears. The thought that I'd been in those same holes but my horse saved me shook me up as the "what if's" got the better of me. I was more scared now than before I left home. Darren talked me off that ledge, as I was certain I shouldn't hunt anymore. I decided to put it out of my mind until the following week and, without hesitation, ordered a pint of lager to go with my lunch.
Getting My Groove Back
On Wednesday, we headed off to yet another fixture in the Lake District. Darren assured me that this country was a bit different from the other day but that I needed to trust my instincts and keep my eyes and ears open. I knew I needed to push through this. And I did… until the second fence.
Andrew put me on a lanky bay gelding named Gonzalo who had failed in the polo field. Gonzalo was brilliant across country, sure-footed, light and comfortable. He was polite in the bridle, and I felt comfortable helping to whip-in. I kept my ears open and watched where Andrew went like a hawk. Then we jumped the first fence, and it all went to pieces. The ground was boggy, and Gonzalo lurched into a flat canter and got way too long to the fence. I jumped in the back seat, slipped the reins and thought, "You figure it out then, you moron!" He scrambled over it, stretched out, and we landed in a heap on the other side. I was still in the tack, and Gonzalo was upright, so mission accomplished, but I was mad now.
Hounds were working a fox in the reedy cover beside the lakefront, and we watched them work from the raised bank. When they broke cover and we headed back toward the meet, Andrew trotted over this innocuous fence. I followed suit, also at a trot to get my horse's haunches underneath me, but to no avail. All this horse understood was launching himself from two strides out, and my impression of a Victorian foxhunter showed up again. I was in my defensive back seat position, but in the middle of the jump, Gonzalo twisted and popped me out of the tack. By some miracle, I landed in the irons on the other side. The tears came once more, and I headed straight for Darren to tell him I was going in.
He hopped off his horse, Colorado, and grabbed Gonzalo. "Get on my horse," he said.
I was about to protest but he glared at me. This horse was an ex-show jumper, originally bred for dressage, who got sour in the ring and was relegated to the hunt field. He reared for the first six hunts he did, spooked so bad walking home that Andrew's wife, Corri, fell off and fractured her spine. He could only be ridden as a staff horse. But for some reason, I felt completely comfortable on him. Darren reminded me not to "bother" him and just hold him to the fences. I did as I was told, and we caught up to the hunt, two fields away and three jumps later. I was as high as a kite. This horse could JUMP, and all my fears disappeared.
Hunting With A Smile
At the second-to-last hunt I got my big wish on this trip: to ride a horse called Remmington. I'd hunted him on a previous trip and fell completely in love. He reminded me of my Irish horse back home that would jump anything, do anything and was an over-sized puppy dog. He was a horse that anyone could ride (and did), and he was getting up in years so he had a lot of miles on him. However, I suspect after all the "issues" I'd had on the previous horses, Andrew decided I needed a break. I was embarrassed that I wasn't a stronger or braver rider, but that passed as the sheer joy of being on a familiar friend had me grinning like a crazy person the minute my butt hit the saddle.
It was an awesome day, and we jumped some of the biggest fences of the whole trip. I felt very lucky to be on Remmy and probably bruised his neck with all the pats. The hounds worked really well that day, and we ran long and hard. We finally got back to the trailers at 2 p.m., and the last fox of the day ran in a tidy fashion straight back to the meet site and met his demise by a huge stone wall. To top it all off, when we picked Henry up from Kylie's this time, he thanked us for bringing him to "the lady's house" to play. I was over the moon.
The last day of hunting was a brilliant day, and I was so comfortable with Danny now that I truly whipped-in and felt helpful. Danny thrived on a job, and we scooted about here and there, sometimes with other whips, pushing hounds back or bringing them on and essentially HUNTING. We even jumped a road double of fences and to top it off, had all the hounds on hacking home, with me in the front and not a smidgen of jigging from Danny.
Heading Home
The journey home was long and arduous. At one point during the longest leg of the flight, I was sure Darren and I were going to throttle each other. Henry was wide open the whole time and could only be placated by a constant stream of movies, activities and our undivided attention. Both of us just wanted to vegetate.
We were all slightly depressed about leaving. It's home for Darren, but for me, Australia has become a place I know I want to be for various reasons. The sense of family and support was something I'd never known. It's powerful, and I think it's important for Henry's upbringing. The hunting and horse life is also something I find attractive, and every time I've hunted there, I feel like I've improved as a rider and as a person. It toughens you up and teaches you things about not being afraid. My fears can get the best of me and cause me to over-think everything, ignoring my ability to sense and feel and trust. I want more of that, and I want to apply it to my job as a mother, spouse and friend.
I had two goals prior to this trip. One was potty training Henry and the other was to do the hunters with my new, young horse. I've been afraid of both of those things because it's uncharted territory for me. Now I know I don't have to be perfect at it. I just have to try and allow things to take their natural line. I feel braver now, and though I may still fear certain tasks, the upside is that I know I can change that fear into an accomplishment if I just stick to it, get in the backseat when it gets shaky and trust myself.


text: A condom-mobile recently stolen in Mexico City was recovered yesterday, much to the relief of Mexico's federal Health Department. But that relief didn't last long: Once the condom-mobile was ripped open, officials discovered the payload of 5,000 prophylactics had been pulled out. Also missing were 800 HIV tests, some sound equipment and a 23-foot (or so they claim) inflatable condom. The truck, which, try as we might, we couldn't find a photo of, is apparently painted up with images of a peeled banana, the exposed part shaped like a condom, and a shirtless man saying: "I protect myself. Do you?" With a paint job like that, it's not surprising it didn't take long for the police to locate the stolen vehicle. [AP via CNN] (Hat tip to Katherine!)

If a woman lies and says she is on birth control....

If a woman lies and says she is on birth control and a man gets her pregnant (not a teenager), should he have known better and taken precautions anyway? Or is it all the woman's fault for tricking him? What do you think?

Well, if they are engaged in that type of relationship, then the partners should be able to trust each other. If a man can't trust the woman, then he shouldn't be in the relationship. As to fault, unfortunately, while it would be nice to assign blame to the woman, the only person who would really pay for it would be the child (if born & not aborted).
In a purely fictional world without child support, etc. then I'd say it's all the woman's fault. What this hypo woman did was a huge violation of trust and it shows a lack of moral character. Unfortunately, some women are very desperate and think men will only love them or marry them if they get pregnant, so they think it's ok to trick men into impregnating them.
(This opinion comes from a woman.)

I don't disagree, but most men's arguments would be that their strong sex drive disables them from thinking clearly when they are engaged in intercourse. Ok, fine. But, I sort of disgaree a tad about your reasoning why the woman would lie about being on birth control. I think a lot of women do it because they want a baby. I think that a lot of women, not all, if they were forced to choose between having a man or having a baby (they could only pick one) they would pick the latter. So, I think the types of women who do "trick" a man into parenthood are the type that you described and those who instinctually want a baby to the point that they can't think clearly or rationally. I also think that if a man isn't 15-18, he should be prepared for the unexpected if he doesn't want a child. He knows how many of his friends' or friends of friends' girlfriends/wives/one night stands "got pregnant on birth control."

If a man is not prepared for the consequences he simply should not take that chance. Strictly relying on the woman shows a lack of personal responsibility, and makes him entirely to dependent on his partner. He is not only depending on the woman to use the contraceptive, he is also depending on her to use it correctly (take pills at a particular time, not forget to take pills, be aware of all medications that can throw off the effects of contraceptives.) Believe it or not, it is easy to have a busy day and forget to take a pill, or to go on vacation without packing birth control. I know countless women who are not even aware that antibiotics make birth control less effective. Even if a woman tells you that she's on BC, please wrap it up. If you don't you are relying on her to be perfect, and perfection is simply not human nature.

Very true. Stats on birth control use show a lot of problems with it, such as the average woman missing 3 pills a month and it only 85% effective for most women because of how they take it. (kind of scary) It is also much less effective when women are obese. Women need to educate themselves more about birth control and take active steps not to miss any pills (like set your phone to remind you to take it at the same time every day). Being able to take the pill gives women power that they didn't have before, i.e. control over their bodies, and they should take it more seriously. The info is out there--internet, doctors, etc.
I do agree that men should be very careful until they know more about the woman's habits (and always if the woman isn't a responsible birth control taker). I also agree that there is a certain amount of responsibility that men need to take for their actions. Accidents happen and both parties need to be prepared and accountable. My problem is with the woman in the hypo who purposely deceived the man.
As to the comment from the other poster about the woman trying to get prego. Well, there are other ways to get pregnant than through deceit. She could go to a sperm bank or she could tell the man that she wants him to be a live sperm donor. The deceit in the hypo takes the power of choice away from the other person. Having a child is a huge responsibility and commitment, and this type of deceit shows deficient character and just seems flat out wrong. It also gives women a bad name and reinforces bad stereotypes about women.

Unless the guy is in a serious committed relationship with the woman and has been for a while so that the two have really gotten to know each other and built genuine trust between each other, I think the guy would be a major fool to not wrap his rascal even if she says not to worry about it claiming to be on the pill or something.
A guy would be a fool to not play it safe when engaging in sex with a woman he just met or is/has only been casually dating in a non-exclusive relationship no matter what the woman says about herself and birth control. In that type of a situation I think the best reason to put on a jimmy is to protect yourself from getting an STD. A woman that is willing to let a guy she doesn't know that well, is just casually dating or randomly hooking up with have sex with her without a condom, especially if she claims to be on birth control, is likely to be the type that sleeps around with various guys a lot outside of a committed relationship.
If I had recently met and gone out on a few dates with a woman and early into it (let's say the 3rd date) she wanted to have sex and said not to worry about using a condom I would be a bit worried since I don't know her very well at all since it's not like you can really get to know someone well from 3 dates. In that type of situation I would be wondering if she is typically that loose and easy with all her dates (cough cough ::slut:: ) and wondering how many other guys she's had unprotected sex with recently.
Even though I believe the guy should be smart and protect himself for the obvious preggo and STD reasons and would be partially to blame if she gets knocked up, I think the woman would be much more to blame for being deceptive and lying about being on birth control. That is a pretty seriously F'd up lie to tell to get a guy to not use a condom (especially if he has one handy and wanted to use it before being lied to and convinced there is no need) given the risks and possible life altering consequences.
The guy would be a sucker for trusting the womans deceitful claim and letting his 'happy thing' think for his brain, whereas the woman would be a lying deceiver that duped the guy for whatever hidden reasons she has to try to possibly end up preggo. That makes her pretty evil and the bad person in the situation while the guy would just be an irresponsible foolish horny sucker that got duped by her while trying to get laid without being guilty of any evil or deceptive intent. While she would be guilty of deceit, he would be guilty of being an irresponsible reckless idiot. However you want to label and divide the blame between them, they are both to blame and are both ultimately 'on the hook' and responsible for a pregnancy and for the child if one is born from it.

The purpose of sex is to procreate. Yes,it's done for recreation but bottom line that's not what it was created for.I don't think you should sleep with anyone you wouldn't want to have a child with, now or later.

The woman who would hypothetically deceive a man into thinking she was on birth control when she was not- yes, wrong. But what I am trying to say on the line of thinking of Chuck that a "man would let his happy thing do his thinking" for him is just pawning off responsibility of the situation. I am not talking about a long, drawn out plot where the woman makes a six month plan about how to trick this poor guy into getting her pregnant, I'm talking about the heat of the moment. Just like he wants what he wants, she wants what she wants, if you know what I mean. It's instictive. So, in this case both people's "happy things" do their thinking for them.
Just wondering on another note- would any of you guys be willing to take male birth control? I think they make it now and even if they don't, would you be willing to take it? This would be a pill that made you "shoot blanks." I would be interested in that response.

Okay, if it's just a hookup, then yeah, the guy should have been smarter/more responsible and wrapped it up. And yeah, I agree, people do stupid things in the heat of passion. Anyway, if it was a hookup, then I don't really feel so sorry for the guy, though I still think that the hypo woman's actions are morally repugnant. I agree with Chuck, that the STD issue is definitely another reason to use protection.
(The typical birth control "accident" that women hear about tends to be the trap a man into marriage tactic, so I assumed the woman was in a relationship with the man. A hookup is a totally different scenario in terms of blame.)
Note: This discussion is a nice change from the T4s/online LSs suck and T1s rule discussions that predominate this board.

If a woman lies and says she is on birth control....

Hello everybody!
For those who remember i posted a worktest around a year ago and i got the gig. It was for SEGA's new titel called Viking: Battle for Asgard, where i was the character concept artist.
I later on got to do more fun stuff as post-processing for the game as well as painting all the movies in the game. It was loads of fun and i'll see if i can't post them as well!
I guess it's time to show what i was doing all this time (yay)
