I just started an intense relationship with a guy who has a boyfriend. This guy and I love each other. However, he is uncomfortable with me meeting his boyfriend. I've asked if it's OK that we're fucking, and he said they're in an open relationship so it's OK. I asked if it's OK that we're in love, and he said yes. So why the secrecy? My lover's only explanation is that his boyfriend doesn't want to know about the guys he fucks around with. The whole situation is starting to make me uneasy. I can't figure out why I want to know more about his boyfriend. Is it so I can verify that he's not cheating, or that jealousy is an issue for them and that's why I can't meet him? I do know that I wish my lover would be more open with me. Should I just relax?
The Other Person
Monogamous couples have one rule about fucking other people — "don't fuck other people" — but nonmonogamous couples have all sorts of different rules, TOP, and sometimes a particular couple's particular rules make it hard for a third to verify that the partnered person he's sleeping with is, in fact, in an honest and healthy open relationship.
That said, most couples with a "don't want to know about the other people you're fucking" rule — and that's a pretty common rule — also have a rule against getting emotionally involved with the other people they're fucking. So if it's against the rules for the guy you're seeing to introduce his boy-on-the-side to his boyfriend, TOP, odds are good that swapping "I love yous" with his boy-on-the-side is against the rules, too.
Someone is being lied to here. Either this guy is lying to you about being in an open relationship or he's lying to his boyfriend about not getting emotionally involved with the other guys he fucks. Whichever it is, TOP, I don't see a future for you with this guy — or much of a future for him and his boyfriend, frankly.
But to answer your question: No, TOP, don't relax. DTMFA.
I am a 22-year-old female who's only ever achieved orgasm during fellatio, and my boyfriend will not perform fellatio on me! I have tried bringing it up during sex, but he didn't cooperate. He told me that he didn't want to do that to me because a mutual female friend told him that I didn't want him to do that to me. I did tell her that at the beginning of our relationship, but I don't feel that way anymore! I'm way too embarrassed now to ask again, because it would feel like I was begging him for fellatio. Please help me!
Need To Get Mine
Try asking your boyfriend for cunnilingus, NTGM, not fellatio. If that doesn't do the trick — if he doesn't start eating your pussy — then DTMFA.
I'm a straight 32-year-old woman who has been in a monogamous relationship with a guy for two years. Recently, we took the plunge and moved in. Before moving in, we had experimented with some kinky stuff. (I have never come so hard or fast as the first time I fucked him in the ass with a strap-on.) Then he told me, after moving in, that he had given some thought to poly relationships before committing to me. Now I am feeling insecure about the viability of this relationship. Although he claims no desire to be in a poly situation now, I can't help but feel that I alone will ultimately not be able to fulfill him entirely. He is a soul mate who I can see growing with over time. But I worry this relationship is doomed.
Fem Fetish Frosh
This probably isn't what you want to hear, FFF, but here goes: You alone will ultimately never be able to fulfill your boyfriend entirely ... just as he alone will never be able to fulfill you entirely. One person simply can't be all things to another person — sexually or otherwise — and unmet needs, unfulfilled desires, and unexplored possibilities are prices we pay to be in LTRs. Monogamous, polyamorous, Femdom, or whatever: All coupled people walk around feeling a little unfulfilled. (Single people, too.) Because no one gets everything they want.
So, FFF, while some aspects of the polyamorous lifestyle appeal to your boyfriend, he has decided that he prefers the kind of relationship he's in now, with its perks and drawbacks, to the hypothetical polyamorous scenarios he used to contemplate, which would've had their own perks and drawbacks. I'd say your relationship is only doomed if you can't bring yourself to take his "yes" — yes to you, yes to monoamory — for an answer.

Standard and Poor's and Fitch both downgraded New Zealand's sovereign debt a few days ago. The ratings agencies cited increased government spending after the earthquake along with high levels of household and agricultural debt. Fitch also stated that New Zealand's high level of external debt was 'an outlier' among comparable developed nations.
The Standard and Poor's rating was cut from AA+ to AA, however Moody's rating remains unchanged at AAA. New Zealand's debt to GDP ratio has fallen over the past year following government efforts from 86% to 70%, and while most commentators agree that several years ago the country would have escaped attention from the CRAs, the sovereign debt crisis has prompted a more cautious approach.

Thanks a lot for reading and please bare with my poor English.
My 6 yrs old son, had outgrown most of his food allegies. He still gets mild
skin irritation, itchy tongue when he eats eggs, itchy nose. He has mild
asthma and it's still on Seretide Evohaler 25/125 for 6 months. He takes 2
puffs at night before sleep. He takes nasal spray for his itchy nose.
he has been having itchy eyes and white slimy discharge esp in the mornings and evenings(worse when he is sleepy and tired)for over a year now.
His allergy specialist doctor said it happens due to his blocked sai-nesses (sorry cant spell) and has given him Arius (syrup medication) 5 mls every 2nd night for past few months. It helped at first but his condition is bad again.
Doctor also said it's due to allergic reaction to chlorine as he swims in the pool a few times a week, he tries to keep his goggles on all the time but pool water still get into his eyes.
Q: should we give him eye-drop but none of the over the counter ones have seemed to help.
I am very worried and feel helpless since his condition improved for a while but got worse again...
Thanks a lot for listening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This particular player told me repeatedly (and worriedly) that she very rarely sticks to plan. Glyph, if I were you, I would avoid her like the plague! *winks*The point is, I was expecting the story to mutate freely, because she told me it would, and because I am expecting it I am more than willing to role with the changes.
See, that's what I was talking about too - I'm cool with a crazy, off-the-walls unpredictable plotline if I go in knowing that's what I signed up for.
Interesting.It seems that the general consensus is that, as long as we know to expect the unexpected, then random mutations in plot are fun..."Wow, I wasn't expecting there to be a bomb in the hotel... Great idea. So, now all our clothes have been destroyed, we go on a rampage of burglary to steal enough money to get back home!"... Yeah!
You know the main rule of most "story games"? Say yes or roll the dice. The similarities aren't accidental !
Unless you're playing Paranoia. There, rolling the dice is a bad thing, because it means you haven't already decided the outcome in advance.
You know the main rule of Improv theatre? Say yes!You know the main rule of most "story games"? Say yes or roll the dice. The similarities aren't accidental !Either way, the goal is to avoid blocking another person's creative input, so it becomes "our story" instead of "my story to which I let you add details", which I'm sure we've all seen already .
Okay, interesting question:When does "Keeping a story on track" become "Blocking someone else's creative input"?
Lets take a fairly straight forward group RP of the sort that there are probably dozens being played on this site alone right now: A group of adventurers set off to find the legendary Macguffin. I'm pretty sure this has already been discussed elsewhere, but the fact that I can't remember what the answer was probably means there was no satisfactory answer...So, our adventurers leave the tavern and the party leader (played by GM) says "Right guys and gals, the map says the Macguffin is in a cave in that mountain up there."To which the bulk of the party turn around and say "Okay, you have fun, we'll be in this tavern having sex..."Yeah, I know, it's unlikely to happen, because if you wanted a sex-romp, why did you sign up for a Macguffin hunt? Extreme example to make the point.
So, is the GM justified in that circumstance in saying: "Fine, see you when I get back... Oh, by the way, a demon who can only be stopped by the Macguffin has just tunnelled his way from the underworld and blown up the tavern... Now get your acts together and lets go find the damn thing!"
Or would a better approach be to say "Well okay, but I thought you guys wanted a Macguffin hunt. If you don't then fine, we can always do that some other time..." And join them in the tavern!
Mmhmm... That was pretty much what I was expecting.I like to ask these obvious questions, because although to me they may be obvious, to others they may not be, and while I have an idea of what the answer should be, again, others may not.So, just to play devil's advocaat advocate for a moment:Supposing I have the situation described above, I have set up a Macguffin hunt, the players are all game, they all start out and then one character decides to go into a brothel for a quickie before they all go off to die. The others follow suit and, as GM, I role with that, and away we go into the rooms of the house, everyone pairs up except the elf wizard who actually wanted to get on with the adventure but was overruled.Straight away, I've lost a player. Nothing I can do about it, because he was the only one who, in the OOC discussion, said "I think we should get on with the quest", and was voted down by the others. He might stick around and wait, but I doubt it.
So.... we have a variety of sexual encounters, lasting in length from three posts each to twenty posts each. By the end of which, there are two players left in the game!
I'm sure everyone except the elf wizard had fun, but if they'd wanted a romp in a tavern and then bugger off home type RP, why sign up for a macguffin hunt?
And yes, this does happen. I've seen it. Everyone starts off enthusiastic for the quest, they pair up, have sex scenes and drop out. Or they realise that they aren't going to get to pair up and have sex scenes, and they drop out.
To be honest, it's a no-win situation for the GM, and the only real course of action is to go with the flow and try to keep things moving, then when no-one except yourself has posted for a month, create a new interest check thread for your next idea....

When it comes to the summer, there 5 items that you will ALWAYS find in my handbag. People always love a good 'What's in my handbag' post so I thought I'd put together a similar post, sharing with you the 5 essential items that I make sure I have with me on a day to day basis during the summer months.
Obviously we all need a pair of sunnies in our bag! I usually just opt for the cheapy ones from Primark. However Firmoo contacted me and asked if I would like to try some of their shades. As they offer ones with prescription lenses I jumped at the chance – always nice to still be able to see when you are protecting your eyes from the sun! I opted for frames that also come in standard glasses form, I just chose to have the lenses tinted to make them sunglasses! They have a funky pattern on the inside of the arms, which makes them a little different. I went for a sort of wayfarer style as I knew that suited me well. The ordering process was nice and simple and delivery time was very quick. If you choose prescription lenses over standard it does take 1 or 2 days longer, but if it meant I would be able to see while wearing them that didn't bother me!
I tend to switch up the beauty products in my handbag quite often, but one that stays firmly put during the summer months is a translucent powder. I'm not an oily gal, but when the sun is out I do get the odd bit of shine. There's dewy skin and then theres… ugh shiny! I was very loyal to RimmelStay Matte for a while, then switched it up a bit and bought the Soap &Glory pressed powder. I do prefer the packaging to this one, as the lid stays attached and it comes with a nice mirror inside! I don't tend to use the powder puff that comes with it though, opting for a bareminerals face brush instead!
Not very glamourous I know, but I HAVE to have some form of plaster in my bag. Warmer months = New shoes. New Shoes = Rubbing and possible blisters. So you need to be prepared. Thankfully I haven't had to dig out any plasters for my feet as of yet. My New Look teens flip flops are doing me well – Little tip if you have size 5 or below feet, check out the teen range of shoes.. a hell of a lot cheaper! God bless having size 3 feet! I currently just have standard plasters in my bag, however for that extra bit of comfort, or if the injury is particularly bad I often have a little box of compeed blister patches in there!
I've recently got into the habit of drinking a lot of water – which is a good thing obviously as it helps your skin along with other health benefits. So much so that I now make sure that I ALWAYS have a bottle in my handbag. It's really important to stay hydrated throughout the day, especially when it's really hot outside. I'm no water snob, I either get it out of the tap at home or grab whatever is the cheapest in the shop!
Something to keep you entertained
Whether it be a kindle, an ipad, your phone or even a good old fashioned paperback book. I find it's always a good idea to have something in your bag that can keep you entertained! There have been times when I just want a little me time, and potter off along to the canal near to wear I live. Kindle in hand along with my other essentials, find myself a sunny spot to sit down in and just read and read. There have been times when I've been in town with some friends and we've just set up camp in the local park, just chilling out, playing some summer tunes from our phones. It's really nice just to take those moment either by yourself or with friends and chill in the summer sun!
What are your summer handbag essentials? I'd love to know what you carry around with you. Let me know in the comments.
Much Love,


text: Cancer was not in my life plan. I was pretty sure I would never get it. I have believed in the mind/body connection for years and have done a lot of personal growth work, so I thought I was immune. Guess what! Not so! Oh well – that isn't the first thing I was mistaken about and it won't be the last! So now I get to reinvent myself. The person I was before cancer (BC) is gone. Now I have to design who I am during cancer(DC) and even more important, who I will be after cancer (AC). I just threw away my BC daytimer – I have a new one for DC. I am a scholar, so part of my journey through this will be researching treatments, main stream and integrative, so that we can make informed decisions about choices. However, I also know that I can't stay in my head, so part of my journey will be an exploration into areas like the heart and the soul – places I have visited but not resided for any length of time. I am very grateful for all of my loving friends and family and I know that I am not doing this alone and I need all the help I can get, so thank you for being there, and I will keep you posted on my progression toward AC.

Mark Wright signs up for Strictly
- Bang Showbiz
- 26 July 2014
Mark Wright has signed up for the new series of 'Strictly Come Dancing' but his fiancee Michelle Keegan has turned down an offer to join him
Mark Wright has signed up for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star has reportedly been snapped up by BBC bosses to appear on the new series of the celebrity dancing competition, but his glamorous fiancée Michelle Keegan has declined an offer to join him.
Producers had hoped to have both Mark and the former 'Coronation Street' actress compete but Michelle, 27, has opted to focus on her acting career.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Having a couple going head-to-head would have made great TV, but we are delighted to have Mark.
"Bosses are confident he can win over their audience given his success coming second on 'I'm a Celebrity'."
Mark will be in good company on the new series as producers are also eyeing The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford, tennis pro Andy Murray's mum Judy, 'Match of the Day' presenter Alan Hansen and rugby hunk Thom Evans.
One star who won't be trying his hand at salsa, however, is BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James.
The 28-year-old presenter confirmed he's been approached for the new series but has turned it down to focus on his career.
He said: "I was asked to do it but I decided that I didn't want to this year.
"Even though it's a brilliant show, I decided it was best not to. I wasn't quite ready for it yet, I wasn't quite ready for the sequins.
"I said yes as I thought it would be hilarious and great fun. But I just woke up one morning and it didn't feel right."

A bit deep this, but as one becomes more aware of the bottomless nature of desire and the lure of amusement and self picturing oneself into imagined situations or associated desires, of the fear of not doing and its tangible affect upon ones emotions and self image, then life is not all about death and taxes........it is about life, celebration and love...
And the opposites in life, that provide us with out ups and downs, or right and wrongs, define edges and ranges between, are everywhere true but not the whole picture, and like Junior Murvin's Police and Thieves (see video below), show that in this physical state we live in, opposites are needed, reflect what is out-there, but do not touch the reality on another level, that opposites together become one, without each other, they could not exist.
The certainty of life is not Death and Taxes
Two certainties in life,
Death and Society.
Taxing our bodies with their bills and invoices
Painting the pictures of self and other indelibly by
Filling the forming patterns and patting down the casting sand's impression.
Two certainties in life,
Ying and yang.
That both sides only exist in opposition
And in this physical trap and with Time's unravelling they
Hold up our conscious world to what primitive focus we can have.
Two certainties in life,
Me and you.
Oneself and the other really united not separate
Provoking the boundaries of our worlds with this riddle's unravelling
Perceived with the gaps that lie between speech, thought and words.
Two certainties of life,
Flow and stillness.
Like water in a river's stopper-wave or ripple
Forever a moving current with the illusion of non-movement to go
Beyond cognition and provoking our awareness of self and being.
The rub for me,
The difference between
Visioning and demanding.
Allowing something special-different to happen in my life
Which is at the same time everyday ordinary; experienced in the full-present and un-demanded.

The certainty of life is not Death and Taxes
1 comment:
Well, in a sense, neither death nor society exist any more than God exists. They are abstracts. Only dead and live bodies exist...ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm so pedantic !
Seen from another point of view, the only thing that exists is death - for life is all illusion. This is my mature view at 70 (at which age life - or rather, new illusory experience - begins).

TUC win 'Pole tax' reform for Polish workers over-paying tax
The TUC today (Thursday) welcomed a major victory for Polish workers in Britain who have been paying double tax on their earnings. A campaign by the TUC South West region has led to a treaty being signed today between the Polish and UK Governments that will make sure Polish workers do not pay both tax in the UK and high level tax on the same earnings when they return to Poland. Thanks to this treaty, UK tax paid will count against Polish tax.
TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber is visiting the Polish church in Bristol today where the problem was first raised with the TUC by the Polish support group, Polski Bristol. The South West TUC took up the campaign with Dawn Primarolo, Bristol South MP and Paymaster General, highlighting to the Minister the complicated tax rules and the fact that workers in other countries such as Ireland get better tax treatment. The Government has subsequently reached an agreement that will benefit thousands of Polish workers employed in the UK. Dawn Primorolo has signed the treaty today on behalf of the British Government.
Speaking at the Polish church in Bristol this evening, Brendan Barber will say: 'Unions, campaigners and community groups in Bristol have worked together to secure an important victory for thousands of Polish workers across the whole country and end this unjust 'Pole tax'. The Government rightly recognises the value that Polish workers add to the UK economy and has responded quickly to union concerns that they were not being treated fairly.'
Julia Verne , Polski Bristol, said: 'This is great news for Polish workers who have been penalised with unfair tax demands when they go home. The current double tax system doesn't take into account the high cost of living in the UK and is especially punitive to workers on low pay. The system means that workers are left with very little disposable income. When we first raised this issue, the church was packed with workers who wanted to know why they faced double tax.
This treaty is great news and we are indebted to the TUC for helping us tackle this issue.'
Nigel Costley, South West TUC Regional Secretary, said:'Unions are giving on-the-ground support to Polish workers to make sure they are treated properly at work but we've proved we can also tackle bigger problems. I didn't realise that they had to pay double tax and was pleased to help them campaign for reform. Dawn Primarolo has been very quick to respond to this issue and make the system fairer for workers in her own constituency and across the country.'

he fed them first; then he ministered
The point of this post isn't to make us feel guilty for being well off or comfortable; I'm proud of what I've earned and accomplished. I wouldn't have it any other way.
But I'd like us to start realizing what it's like for people on the other side of the street. And if poverty is a complex social issue, which it is, then why are we willing to fob off uncomplicated and superficial remedies (like marriage policies, like bashing immigrants, like trickle down economics and tax breaks for the rich)?
Note: Most of the numbers mentioned in this post are from a report that can be downloaded from here.
What's poverty?
There are actually four kinds of poverty, based on our federal index which is based on what a family would need annually to earn to feed them (no, it's not a perfect measure, but it's the way we measure poverty now. If you want to read more about how the index is measured and critiques of how it's measured, go here:
Here's our federal poverty level index for 2006:
Family size - 2006 poverty guidelines:
1 - $ 9,800
2 - 13,200
3 - 16,600
4 - 20,000
5 - 23,400
6 - 26,800
7 - 30,200
8 - 33,600
You are Income Poor if you fall within the parameters of the FPL
You are in Deep or Extreme Poverty if you live at or below 50% of the FPL
You are Low-Income or Near Poor if you live at or below 200% of FPL and have trouble meeting your basic needs because of rising costs (child care, housing/rent, health insurance - if you have this at all.)
A household is Asset Poor if it doesn't have enough net worth to live at the poverty level for 3 months - if you experience one significant life event (medical crisis, job loss or divorce) you can end up homeless or go straight into Poverty.
(While this index is based on food cost, which probably needs to be changed, here's what the index doesn't include: cost of transportation/commute to work, cost of child care, cost of utilities, or the rising cost of housing. Factor those costs and the number of those who qualify as poor would probably increase rather than decrease.)
Who's poor?
You might be poor if you are old; nearly half of IL seniors would be in poverty if not for Social Security benefits; Social Security benefits are primary source of income for two-thirds of IL seniors; 70% of senior women living alone live near poverty. Senior men had a median income of $20,363 in 2003 and senior women had a median income of $11,845.
(Dude. Who can live on that??)
You might be poor if you are a child; 37.2% of children lived in low-income families in 2004; 15% of children in IL lived in houses where the head of household didn't finish high school (an indicator of poverty); 11% lived in crowded housing.
You might be poor if you are disabled; in IL the monthly SSI payment is $564 (the national average is $617.02); a disabled person would have to spend more than ALL of their SSI income to rent a one-bedroom apartment.
You might be poor if you are a woman; IL women have higher poverty rates than men; 13.3% were living in poverty compared to 11.5% men in 2004; 31.4% lived in near poverty compared to 26.7% of men; compound that with the worst gender wage inequity of the 5 most populous states and you have women working their asses off for not a whole lot in return. Most single heads of households in the state are women.
You might be poor if you are Black or Latino: nearly 30% of the black population in IL lives under the FPL; 16% of the Latino population in IL lives in poverty.
Maybe most of us think of the victims of Hurricane Katrina when we try to envision who's poor – they were visibly destitute, almost sharecropper poor. But that's just one face of poverty; not the only face.
I argue that the more quotidian face of poverty is probably the face of someone you already see: the woman who provides you with childcare; your company's receptionist or assistant; the security guard in the lobby of your building; the woman who checks out your groceries.
You might not be poor if 4 crucial areas of your life's needs are stable:
Economic well-being. Are you earning a living where all your basic needs can be met? Can you live on your wage? Do you have a 'cushion' of some sort?
Health Insurance. Does your employer provide them? Are you relatively confident you won't have to lose your house if your appendix bursts?
Housing Affordability. Can you pay your rent or mortgage easily and without much stress? Can you afford to live where you live? Have you never had to choose between food or rent?
Education. Do you have a college degree? Do you have a professional degree? Have you graduated from high school? Are most of your friends and neighbors literate?
Before indulging in a superficial discussion of poverty ('poor people suck!'/'poor people are saints!') I think it's important to dispel a couple of assumptions:
* poor people are lazy welfare queens who don't work and
* poverty is about bad financial planning
Poverty is about a maelstrom of bad breaks: illiteracy, generational poverty, economic downturns, cuts in social services, no education, rising costs in the standard of living; lowering wage values, no access to health care. Access to work. In Illinois, one quarter of our work force lives below the federally defined 'poverty line.' These are people (most of them single moms) who work full time jobs; they work 40 hours/week just like you and I work. And yet, they're poor. And these are people who, every day, make crucial financial planning decisions – the thing is, they're making these decisions with less money than you or I can even think of using to even live.
I was at a retreat for an organization for whom I sit on the Board and a woman made the point that, for most of us, we think of low wages as entry-level wages; we think "Oh, I made 28k when I was out of school for my first job! That's totally livable!" But for many of the working poor, 28k is not entry level. That's a life wage. That's a wage that won't change. Ever. No bonus. No signing bonus. No relocation bonus. No holiday bonus. Through children, illness, divorce, and death - that wage won't change.
Think $30k goes a long way? I earn a little over that amount in my new non profit gig. But I don't have children, I have health insurance, an education and my rent kicks ass. (And I have a roommate who makes triple what I make and is willing to buy me a beer or a movie once in a while.)
But how far does that $30k go for a family of 4?
Or, maybe it's $25k.
Or, maybe it's $19k.
If you made $19k/year and had to support a family of four (or even three), what kinds of decisions would you make?
Yeah, Jesus said the poor will always be with us.
But that doesn't mean their lives have to suck.

i don't think you're wonky - i think you're pretty much right on the money. and i am glad for the poverty video link - i'm going to incorporate it into our *help the less fortunate* effort at church.
the church (corporate) can and should do much for these people. it is for these needs that church exists (and others, of course).

thanks, jc.
i appreciate that.
I agree with your basic take, poverty IS indeed bad and we should move to care for the porr. But your random rolling off of statistics without more substantive analysis is not helpful. In addition, without tying it to a greater framework regrading God's heart for the poor it does little to illuminate your point.
I also don't think that we (who is we?) are "fobbing" off this problem on other issues. The immigration issue has to due with fiscal sustanability (especially of states) and the best way to form a legally coherent framework for handling the issue. Your quick dismissal of other issues as "superficial" is misleading, immigration strikes at the heart of numerous more complicated debates that are critical to promulgate economic and welfare policies for the poor. Please don't be so quick to engage in a diatribe without thinking about the big picture.
Like I said, I totally support your cause but reeling off infinite statistics without calls for a change in policy or other options is not helpful. In addition, poverty is a global problem not limited to the United States. While I think your aim is to publicize the issue close to home (which I once again support) we as Christians should also maintain a global view. Keep up the good work on your blog.
- ding said...
thanks, Anonymous. really - you bring up good points.
this post is to be part of a series of posts on poverty so context is going to be established slowly. (i had wanted to make it clear that these stats are from an illinois perspective, but i think that got lost when i edited some things.)
however, i don't think my stats are random or without context - for us in illinois, this IS the context. they define who's poor in illinois, what makes them poor and gives a brief look into how we measure poverty. policies like marriage programs or anti-immigration legislation *are* superficial if they don't take in the totality of a poor person's life or situation.
my main point is going to be that things have to change structurally (that means policy) in our society if we really want to address poverty in any meaningful way. literacy, health care, education, job readiness, immigration, and underemployed populations like ex-offenders, the disabled, the immigrant, the single mother, the college graduate - all of these things are part of the conversation around poverty and the poor.
i just haven't gotten there, yet! i got a job, dude! (wink)
but thanks for your input - i appreciate it!
- ding said...
and, to be honest, this current thinking of mine is a product of some work i've been doing so my thoughts are just coalescing about this - bear with me!

Music, hair and fashion weren't the only things treading new ground in the early 1980s.
On the sands of Newport Beach between 52nd and 56th streets, guys and girls in bright-colored wetsuits, head bands and new, sleek surfboards were making a splash in surfing.
They called the area Echo Beach. To the rest of the world, the surfing regulars there would be known for changing the sport and style that can come with it.

Another week has past by and I am here to update you on how my friend making process is going…
That seems to the word of words for this process. I know that it would be long and drawn out before I can meet and make anything resembling a friendship but an impatient person! Why can't I just have a BFF overnight! Let me let the rational side of me take over before I start crying and kicking up a tantrum on the floor.
GirlFriend Social
so DB has not gotten back to me since my last update. She is currently having some personal issues so I understand if she doesn't have time to talk to a stranger. Right now I think this is going to go no where, but I will stay positive that and hope that when she solves these issues we can continue to talk again. HF and I have been texting back and forth trying to get to know each other. We have some things in common, but it worries me that she seems like a huge health nut and I'm over here trying not to spend all my time thinking about nachos… They say opposites attract right?
HEY! Vina
I've ran out of people to match with, which is really disappointing. I also only matched with one person and she hasn't tried to even contact me at all. It does say that 5 people are saying 'Hey!' but I cannot view who they are or know who they are because of how the app works. So disappointing. I keep checking another week before dropping this app.
Girlfriend Circles
I still think this site is a bit weird to use and much more of a networking site rather than a friendship finding site. I haven't used it much, but I won't drop it yet until I have actually tried to use it to find friends.
I have found 2 more apps to try making friends on
Unfortunately this does not have too many people in my area but it is easy to use. How it works is if you want too skip people you swipe them over (yes kinda like tinder) and if you do you like them. This is better than Hey! Vina because you can see who has liked you and if you want you can like back! Woo!
Bumble BFF
Most people know Bumble as a dating site, but you can also use it to find friends. This has been the most successful friendship app I have already been matched and have started conversations with a couple of people. I won't share anything yet, because I want to see who lasts and who gets voted off the island… wait this is not survivor. I don't even watch that show. The one thing I don't like about Bumble is that if your matched you only have 24 hours to start a conversation or respond before it expires. That is a little weird and makes me nervous.

Anal Sex Lubricants
Anal sex doesn't have to hurt! One of the primary reasons people experience discomfort during anal penetration is a lack of quality lubrication. Before engaging in any type of anal play, (whether it be intercourse or sex toys), always apply a liberal amount of anal lubricant beforehand to reduce friction and protect the sensitive lining of the rectum.
Starting with a well-lubricated finger or a slim anal dildo is a great way to relax the anal muscles and warm up for penetration. Using alternate products for lubrication: such as saliva which dries quickly, is not recommended for anal sex, nor are household products like baby oil or Crisco which are difficult to clean and can break down latex condoms and sex toys

Intel executives said at an investor meeting Intel's mobile GPU and CPU performance will dramatically increase, while the company shifts to meet new business challenges.
Brian Krzanich announced an expanded Atom roadmap and a change to Intel's business model at his first analysts' day as CEO of the company on Thursday.
Krzanich and Intel brass told analysts and investors at the meeting that Intel is working hard to expand its mobile offerings in light of fierce competition in the sector. "I was a little embarrassed that we seemed to have lost our way," Intel chairman Andy Bryant said during the meeting. "We're paying a price for that right now."
Intel's goal for the mobile sector is to increase mobile GPU performance by 15 times and CPU performance by a factor of five by the end of 2015, according to Krzanich.
Intel's push to gain some mobile hardware wins in 2015 will be anchored in an upcoming SoC called Broxton, first announced at the meeting, which is the follow-up to Cherry Trail, and runs on the architecture called Goldmont.
Broxton is intended to fill the performance segment of Intel's 2015 mobile lineup. Krzanich said that Broxton will be unique insofar that it has a "chassis" that can be swapped out and upgraded when Intel rolls out new features. Krzanich didn't elaborate how exactly this would work.
In the corresponding value segment, Intel will roll out SoFIA. This chip is unique because it won't be made on the company's own foundries, instead manufacturing will be contracted out in "the interest of speed."
SoFIA will come integrated with a 3G baseband when it initially ships. In 2015 this will be upgraded to LTE.
Though initially Intel planned to use ARM technology for SoFIA, Intel confirmed Thursday that it will be based on x86.
Both Broxton and SoFIA will be manufactured on the 14-nanometer process and will be 64-bit. Krzanich said they are both part of the process to make Atom an equal partner with Core.
"We still expect twice the performance from Core, but we're not going to slow down Core to get there," Krzanich said.
Taking on Taiwan
During the meeting Krzanich announced that Intel is planning on opening its foundries worldwide to other companies to manufacture their chips.
Currently semiconductor companies that don't have fabrication facilities contract the process out to firms like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company or Globalfoundries. As demand for PCs shrink, Intel is looking to keep its manufacturing lines active. Intel already manufactures chips for Altera, but these are customized for Altera's specialized servers and embedded systems — a field where Intel doesn't compete.
Pedal to the metal
Though Intel is leading its competitors with its 14 nm process node, it wants to go even smaller. Krzanich said Intel will "not take our foot off the pedal" as it pushes for 10nm by 2015.
Bill Holt, Intel's boss of semiconductor manufacturing, said that as Intel hits the 10nm mark the cost-per-transistor will go dramatically down. Intel's competitors, according to Holt, won't have the same advantage as Intel because they are not focusing on properly scaling their silicon and lack the research Intel has put in to on-chip interconnects.
Still playing catch up
While new chips, business opportunities in opening up its foundries, and advantages in process node all sound like Intel has a competitive edge, the reality is it's still facing a slumping PC market and OEMs that are not enthusiastic about its mobile chips.
"This market is going ultra fast, and the competition is not standing still while we catch up," Intel Vice President Hermann Eul is quoted as saying at the meeting.
Considering that sentiment, perhaps Krzanich defined Intel's struggle the best when he referred to the new plans for Atom by saying, "Three months ago this wasn't on the road map."

Patent Medicines The Great American Fraud
Cure baldness! Gout, kidney stones, and make monkeys fly!
Patent Medicines are nothing new, around 1900 many contained up to 80% alcohol plus their secret ingredients. Sometimes that meant that cocaine, heroin, morphine, laudanum, etc were added. I'm sure granny felt a lot better with a shot of booze and a line of cocaine but it didn't cure her illness.
google patent medicne or nostrum, there are some pretty good sites with the old cures and machinery, entertaining to say the least.
How bout some bottled water? Did you know Evian spelled backwards was naive? Most of the natural spring water comes from municipal taps and look how much they make from it.
What does immunocal have in it?
This is cut from the site "The product is additive-free; the sole ingredient is undenatured whey protein isolate"
Which you can buy in a health food store at a better price.
Would I consider using undenatured whey protein isolate? maybe, I use a scoop of protein mix in my smoothies, use a green mix sometimes, but what I have found when you do a little research is that there are economical sources to buy supplements.
Is Glutathione needed? apparently so, the effectiveness of taking it orally appears to be in question, the precursor amino acid cysteine might be the supplement to take but you would have to do some research.
Glutathione occurs naturally in many foods, if you are following a low carb diet but high in fresh veggies and fruit you are probably getting enough.
If you are taking a multi vitamin, or supplementing with vitamin E and C you've got some some additional anti oxidant protection.
I am a believer in reducing free radicals, our cells get hit 10,000 times a day by free radicals, and while they do a good job of repairing themselves they do eventually start deteriorating, it was 100% to begin with , but then its 99%, 98% etc.
Got wrinkles? its because your skin cells are not being repaired at 100%, think about the damage that you can't see.
I supplement with about 2 dozen vitamins, spices and herbs so I'm no stranger to trying new things.
The prefabricated potions and pills that are targeted to diabetics I avoid like the plague because while they have a little bit of the things I am taking they don't have enough in potency to have any therapuetic value.
So when someone tries to sell you a bill of goods, research it, and talk to your health care professional. You have to manage your own disease and be in the drivers seat.

I mostly agree. The water comment is not quite true. Purified water (aquafina, dasani, and others) are basically tap water that has been through some sort of process. Spring water is defined legally by the FDA and EPA and has to come from an underground water source that flows naturally to the surface and there are additional regulations about how it can be collected.
If you want a good laugh about purified bottled water (and probably Coke's biggest ever PR screw up), look for the story of the Dasani launch in the United Kingdom.
growning up, we had a natural spring on our property, so I had spring water my whole life. This crap that is marketed today as "natural spring water" I can get from my refrigerator!
I don't follow. Anything sold as spring water legally has to come from an underground source that comes to the surface naturally and has to have that source listed on the bottle. If it's not then the company selling it as such is breaking the law. Aquafina, Dasnani and other are sold and marketed as purified water (and a lifestyle drink) rather than spring water and is municipal water that they put through their purification process which you can also do yourself at home if you want. The spring water is also processed to remove and contaminants but it doesn't come from a local water plant.
It doesn't matter; I was just saying that when I was growing up we had natural springs on our property, so we always had access to spring water. Every body either got water from the spring, or from their wells. Now there are companies selling us water. And, our water was free! LOL. I never dreamed that we would ever have to buy water, ours just came naturally. But then, that was a long time ago…
We are indeed our own advocates…
Products accepted as effective generally come with the approval of the professional organization for that desease or condition…
When someone is trying to sell me something experimental or "new" that is what I look for first…If its a cure all our Doctors and our organizations would be acknowledging it and endorsing it :)
Nice post :)
You can buy Cystiene at the health food store in pill form but it is destroyed in the stomach by acid, you can buy glutathione also and the same thing happens. What is unique about Immunocal is that it provides cysteine that is bonded to proteins that are not destroyed in the stomach thus make it thru to the intestine where it is absorbed sent to the cells taken up and provides the cysteine for the production of glutathione, There are other companys that have tried to jump on the Immunotec wagon of success and claim to have indentical products, unfortuneately most are not the same and none have any proof of their efficacy, only Immunocal does. I have tried several of these other brands because they are much cheaper and everytime my complications come back.It does take reseaerch on ones own part to get to the truth and I encourage it. There is ample evidence out there that support the claims. Dan

Once again upon our "travels"....well a factory in London's East End this time! We've stumbled across yet another great find... this GORGE Louis Feraud Check Silk Oversize Blazer (Available in our ASOS Marketplace boutique)!!
Louis Feraud's (1920-1999) fashion career started when he opened his first boutique in Cannes, France, in 1955. He struck the jackpot when Brigitte Bardot bought one of his dresses.
He held his first runway show in 1960, after which his clothes were carried in retail stores across the
Canada and Europe.
In the 60s Feraud was known for his strikingly graphic mod dresses and suit ensembles. His style softened in the 1970s, encapsulating "The Gypsies" and by the 1980s, his designs were rather mainstream…

Why is this here?
Many people visit historic places because they want to see firsthand where an important event took place or where an often-told narrative was played out. The allure of these legendary sightseeing spots has everything to do with the historical facts that surround them.
But even in the modern age, the origins of a number of sites, both modern and ancient, remain a mystery. Experts and enthusiasts have provided theories about these strange places, but there is nothing concrete to satisfy the innate human desire to know the answer to the question: "Why is this here?"
These odd sites can be attractive because of their lack of historical context. Some tourists come to soak in the atmosphere and relish the sense of mystery that surrounds these places, while others want to concoct their own theories about the site's origin or to create their own fantastical narrative.
Here are some well-known structures that are still shrouded in mystery. (Text: Josh Lew)

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
PHILADELPHIA -- Diabetes patients who responded to glucose-lowering treatment also improved their risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, a Swedish observational study found.
Those who reduced their hemoglobin A1c levels by nearly one percentage point -- from a mean of 7.8% to 7% -- had a significant 45% decreased risk of cardiovascular death (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.49 to 0.63, P<0.001), according to Katarina Eeg-Olofsson, MD, from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, and colleagues.
The absolute risk of a death from a cardiovascular cause was 9.9 events per 1,000 person-years in patients with decreasing HbA1c and and 17.8 per 1,000 in those with stable or increasing HbA1c, the team reported here at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association.
The above results were after the researchers adjusted for covariates such as age, diabetes duration, sex, blood pressure and blood pressure treatment, lipid status and lipid-lowering treatment, HbA1c, albuminuria, and BMI, as well as changes in those risk factors and treatments over time.
The research team said that they undertook the study because of the ongoing debate about the relationship between glycemic control and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
They analyzed data from the Swedish National Diabetes Register and identified 18,035 patients with baseline HbA1c between 7% and 8.9%. They ranged in age from 30 to 75, had a body mass index over 18 kg/m2, and serum creatinine ≤1.7 mg/dL.
Patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, or atrial fibrillation were excluded from the study. The mean duration of diabetes was between 8 and 10 years and the median follow-up was more than 5 years.
Patients were nearly equally divided into those whose HbA1c decreased by 0.1% or more (mean baseline HbA1c 7.8% and final 7.0%) and those whose baseline remained stable or increased (mean baseline HbA1c 7.7% and final 8.3%).
Besides the decrease in total mortality, the researchers found that better glycemic control was significantly associated with risk reductions in fatal and nonfatal coronary heart events of 39% (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.69) and in fatal/nonfatal cardiovascular disease events of 37% (HR 0.63, 85% CI 0.57 to 0.70). The decreases were both significant at P<0.001.
According to the researchers, the absolute risk of a first fatal or nonfatal event caused by coronary disease was 10.3 per 1,000 person-years for those who had better glycemic control versus 17.9 per 1,000 for those without better control.
Those numbers for a first cardiovascular event were 15.1 and 26.1 events per 1,000 person-years, respectively.
Eeg-Olofsson noted that these patients were receiving routine care for type 2 diabetes, which shows that targeting HbA1c to 7% (the treatment target) can help mitigate the higher risk of cardiovascular events generally seen in diabetics.
The researchers did not provide funding information.
They reported they had no conflicts of interest.
