I'm…I'm underwhelmed. And a little sad, maybe. But mostly confused. Is this what Valentino Haute Couture is supposed to look like? Are they serious? I think we've been tricked. Fooled. Bamboozled.
It kind of reminds me of what would happen if Balenciaga and Valentino had a baby (the term 'Valenciaga' has already been coined elsewhere, I can't take credit for it), and a few of the tight minidresses are reminiscent of Herve Leger, particularly with the neon inserts that were also in the previous Leger spring collection. Which is all fine and good, except neither of those designers make couture – they do a dandy job at pret-a-porter, but this is couture week, people.
Some of the signature Valentino ruffles, flowers and bows were present, but their inclusion at time seemed cursory rather than enthusiastic. And there were, of course, a few gowns that will look beautiful against a red carpet and over which I'm sure Rachel Zoe is currently having some sort of conniption.
The rest of it was just…the Balenciaga collection that Nicolas Ghesquiere forgot, and I'd say that I mean that in a good way, but I obviously don't. It was reductive and mostly bland, but with a few truly odd moments – a ruched jumpsuit with a camel toe problem, non sequitur neon inserts, a red leather minidress that came out of NOWHERE.
It would be one thing if this was bad couture, but it's just bad, with no indications of the kind of intricacy, construction, or care that go into forming and finishing a garment by hand. In their second couture season as the heads of Valentino, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli failed to actually make a couture collection. The ideas and realization hardly seem above that of ready-to-wear, and even then, I've seen several brands do these looks better as recently as last season. Chiuri and Piccioli have been quoted saying that they wanted to make couture for the younger generation with this collection – trust me, this is not what we want.

Movie Review-ish - ( An opinion of the movie without giving away too much of the plot)
Ideally, yes. But it's not a perfect world, okay?
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston
Directed by: Jonathan Levine
PLOT: Inspired by a true story, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis in this new comedy directed by Jonathan Levine from a script by Will Reiser. 50/50 is the story of a guy's transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health - drawing its emotional core from Will Reiser's own experience with cancer and reminding us that friendship (credits: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/5050_2011/ )
This movie was released in movie theaters last year but I just found out the movie recently and I got curious because I love Joseph and I think he's really cute haha. Anyway the movie is a mixture of comedy and drama, but not the usual tear jerking films. This film is actually hilarious and heart warming which is a perfect approach to the devastating cure of cancer. As I have said, I like Joseph Levitt so the acting was really great, he acts natural as well as his co-actors. His friendship thing with Seth Rogen is amazing, they both made an impressive on screen buddy team. I really liked each of the supporting characters. What I like about this movie is that they explained about life, death and everything in between, which makes it simple but brilliantly told story.
Above all the things I've just said, I learned something about this movie and that is every people here on earth are experiencing a lot of things, some people are finding a way to hide their true feelings, how can they conquer their fears, or how they will survive or the other way around for some people but we should respect everyone because we don't know what they're going through.

In a previous post I discussed wildly inaccurate reports on a phenomenon called "global dimming" which was being interpreted as a reason, oddly enough, for continuing to pollute the atmosphere in an effort to reduce the effects of global warming. RealClimate says that global dimming is not well understood or documented, certainly not in the way depicted in a recent BBC documentary, and its affects are not likely to be the ones touted in the documentary. The two posts are here and here.

A question I have been asking myself as I have drooled over, delighted in and devoured the many amazing blogs I have followed, dipped into and stumbled upon over the last year or so.
I hesitated, I decided for and then against..always concerned that I would never be able to create something as interesting or in fact that anyone would be interested in….but finally here it is…my very first blog post!
I hope to use this blog as a record of the happenings, highs (and hopefully not too many lows) of life here at Holly Cottage, a home I share with my lovely partner, our two dogs, and six chickens.
I love thrifting, crochet, baking, reading and lately my iPad (on which I am writing this blog) – something that apparently isn't recommended..but then I never have been a fan of doing things the easy way!
I do hope you will stop by from time to time and say hello,

Cell phones and all their trimmings are fast becoming the new wireless tie that binds us all together. Some observers go so far as to call cell phones "social computers." Others believe that cell phones—especially when they break up the quiet of polite company with their often-jarring ringtones—are mostly just plain rude.
The idea of cell phone as social computer was an underlying theme at CTIAs (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association) Wireless IT and Entertainment 2005 conference at the Moscone Center here.
"Well, its hard to call a cell phone a computer in the traditional sense of the word," Jupiter Research analyst Michael Gartenberg told Ziff Davis Internet. "Theyre just wireless telephones; theyre configurable, but they cant compute anything. As for their place in the social perspective, Id say theyre more of a catalyst to extend the reach of people to other people, in terms of location and context."
Scientifically, that much is certainly correct. Cell phone-connected communities of all kinds are springing up, catalyzing people in every imaginable kind of special interest. Many of those special interests were in evidence at the CTIA event.
The common bond: A cell phone
Not only are people joining fantasy sports leagues, dating services and online group-centered competitive games in record numbers, theyre also signing up for "wallpaper" and ringtone clubs, camera-phone photography groups, travel-discussion groups, soft-porn groups—you name it, theres probably a company or special-interest group that will fit your personal interests. The common bond: You guessed it—a cell phone.
FunMail Inc., based in Pleasanton, Calif., is an example. FunMail is a cell phone community that stages different kinds of simple contests. One is "Americas Best Mobile Picture," in which members snap camera-phone photos of pets, babies, "cute" girls and boys, cars, and other things. They then e-mail their best ones into FunMail, vote on which of their peers pictures they like best, and win prizes if theyre lucky.
For $2.99 per month, a subscriber can snap and send as many photos as he or she wants and submit them in for a chance to win prizes. They even get to see a graph showing how their picture ranks in the voting over time. "It a chance to become famous nationwide, or just sit back and be on the panel of deciding judges," a company data sheet said.
"Were aiming at the 16-to-24 demographic," said FunMail executive Jim Campbell, "but were finding a lot of other people outside that range are participating. In October, well be doing a hottest girl and hottest guy photo contest. We expect a pretty high participation level."
Subscribers then have the opportunity to interact with each other, if they choose. "They compare photos, talk about their experiences. A lot of guys are going to want to meet the hottest girl, and vice versa!" Campbell said.
FunMail is certainly the community catalyst there.
AG Interactive, a branch of 99-year-old American Greetings Corp., is currently delivering a lot more than birthday and anniversary e-cards through cell phones.
A membership with AGI can bring customers such varied mobile phone entertainment as Def Jam Mobile Content (music, videos and poetry), streaming jazz music, and Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, who appear on your cell phone screen to announce a phone call or text message.
"Our products also include video ringtones, wallpapers, videos, eGreetings and evites—in addition to instant messaging content, like avatars, emoticons, winks, skins, and backgrounds," AGI Senior Vice President and General Manager Bryan Biniak told Ziff Davis Internet.
Next Page: Its still all about communicating with friends and colleagues.

(Raab Collection) (Newser) – Hidden in the box of heirlooms were four sheets of paper, on which the writer threatened "eternal war" with England, compared the War of 1812 to the American Revolution, and lamented the downfall of Napoleon. Now, the 1815 letter written by Thomas Jefferson to then-US Ambassador to France, William Crawford, could be yours, per Fox News. Crawford's descendants—who found the letter stashed in the attic of their Mississippi home—are selling it for $325,000.

I wanted it to look like Donatella Versace had designed an opium den in Chinatown; I designed it purely for entertaining, says Richard Christiansen of the Grand Street rental he shares with film producer Jonathan Ferrantelli, a cat, two dogs, 21 exotic fish, and a rotating cast of up to 50 party guests a night. When he moved into the 1,000-square-foot space in 2010, Christiansen, the founder of ad agency Chandelier Creative, was used to a round-the-clock-party lifestyle, having resided at the Bowery Hotel for the three years prior. But the now-35-year-old disco-decade obsessive was ready to take on the role of host in a nocturnal lair all his own, and Chinatown felt right. The neighborhood embodied what I love about New York: its lawlessness, its chaos, its microcommunities, its contagious enthusiasm, its creativity, he says. Almost every night of the week colleagues, friends, clients, and neighbors swing by his home for martinis, conversation, and a club-quality sound system, on which Christiansen blasts everything from Vitamin String Quartet to Kylie Minogue. To create the loungelike vibe, Christiansen chose a strict color palette of black, silver, and occasional glints of red and an easy-to-dim lighting scheme. For furnishings, he sleuthed auction catalogues and eBay, reimagining finds as mood-evoking crowd-pleasers: A once-lima-bean-green banana-leaf bed from the eighties, for instance, now sits in dark-lacquered splendor behind an elaborate 1,000-pound fish tank. There's been a lot of Romeo and Juliet action, with people gazing at each other through the glass, around that tank, he says, but I never name names.

Accellerators and incubators:the 2010 European chart
dgiluz | 20 giugno 2011 at 14:51 | Categorie: dal mondo, innovazione, venture capital
| URL: http://wp.me/pEA3-a3
Startup Bootcamp Spain
Startup Bootcamp Denmark
NDCR Lanchpad
Propeller Ventures
Startup Bootcamp Ireland
This is what came up after one year of analysis both on the quantitative side and qualitative side of European incubators and accellerators. The chart is comparable to the US one, that was released a few weeks ago by Techcocktail (here the top 10 US):
Y Combinator
TechStars Boulder
TechStars Boston
TechStars NYC
TechStars Seattle
Excelerate Labs
LaunchBox Digital
DreamIt Ventures
Capital Factory
fbFund REV* / 500 Startups
When we started discussing this project with Aziz Gilani was around one year ago. Incubators and accellerators where popping up in the US and Europe at such a rate, that we were seriously getting 'bubble' feelings. We started to count and found around 200 entities between the US and Europe that were somehow active, most of them just launched. While this is certainly great news for entrepreneurship at large, it looked to us more like a jungle, in which we wanted to provide some kind of guide to startups.
We wanted to build a map and a ranking that could help entrepreneurs while choosing where to apply. The model was built at the Venture Center of the Kellogg School of Management, NorthWestern University, with the precious help of Kelly Quann and with the support of Marco Ciccolini from the European side.
We decided to focus on some specificincubators:
– they had to be for profit
– with closed terms of less than one year
– paid in equity and not in cash (which unfortunately excluded relevant entities such as Plug&Plan in Silicon Valley and Pier38 in San Francisco)
We wanted to look both at quantitative aspects (how many graduates, how many of them raised money with VCs, what stipend value, how much equity taken by the incubator, which terms) and qualitative ones byinterviewing VCs and program partecipants to obtain their perspectives on programs, particularly to assess the quality of mentorship, startups and demo days).
Europe seems to be developing with a couple of years of delay compared to the US, as often happens in technology innovation. However there is a lot of activity right now and the chart really does not make justice of the European accellerators and incubators ecosystem. There are around 40incubators right now active in the old continent, many of them launched in the past twelve months. Europe innovation ecosystem is made of several islands, often loosely connected and is quite different from the US environmnet where venture capital is much more developed and present. Therefore European incubators and accellerators often operate with different variations of the model due to the different environments. Often have a no-profit model (LeCamping in France, AAlto in Finland and Techgarage in Italy are some good examples) others charge startups for their services.
Where will all of this lead? How much will it scale? What will work and how far can all of this be developed?
These are the next questions I intend to address with the further developments of the Accellerators and Incubators study. One thing is sure:YCombinator, Techstars and Seedcampare showing how this is can be a sustainable model and is filling a spot in the innovation food-chain.
Startups like like Dropbox (YCombinator, 2007), DailyBurn (Techstars, 2008), Heroku (Ycombinator, 2008), Reddit (Ycombinator 2005) and Posterous (YCombinator 2008) have also demonstrated that this model can certainly generate significant companies.
Put it in perspective and in a few years these startup factories could easily generate thousands of new startups every year.
More tomorrow @Nesta's Startup Factories.

It struck me this morning how much this FLAG/SEA ME WE cable outage must be hurting our good friends over at Du Towers given that their network is based on Internet Protocol telephony.
Poor old Du. It must be galling for them not to be able to take over the whole market by slashing prices left right and centre and so not realise one of the main upside benefits of an IP network, while at the same time suffering from the down-side of having an IP network - being horribly exposed to service outages when people drop anchors on your international cable infrastructure.
One of the reasons why the whole country didn't flock to Du when it launched was that the regulator blocked any price competition - mad, when you have an IP based operator launching against a ruggedly circuit-switched incumbent. However, in a perverse sort of way, Du is being paid off for being a not terribly interesting competitor, because it's able to charge circuit-switched telephone rates for an IP network - an absolutely enormous profit margin.
That this state of affairs exists because the regulator is so interested in protecting the vested interests represented by former monopoly and still massively dominant telco Etisalat is undoubted. That it is also artificially halting progress in the market is also undoubted.
However, the fact remains that the Du network is utterly reliant on the Internet to carry its international traffic - and that the recent outages have enabled a quietly gleeful Etisalat to announce that it is helping Du out. Du's response is evident in today's newspapers, a faintly ridiculous slice of blablabla press release announcing that there were now 1.5 million Du customers, which Gulf News for some reason carried faithfully in all its Technicolour puke-inducing glory.
So I called my pal who has a Du mobile and asked how his service had been, rather hoping (I must confess) for a horror story to pop on the blog. But he told me that he'd had no problems at all, that service had been completely unaffected by the recent Internet outages.
As he chatted to me, he started to break up until he was completely inaudible in a sea of pops, clicks and gaps. So I'm not really sure if the Du network has been affected by the cable outages or that's just the service quality he's used to. And I don't know anyone else who uses Du to ask - even though there are, apparently, 1.5 million of them out there...

Here's a pretty elaborate way to process sewage waste: Stanford researchers propose using anaerobic bacteria to break it down, producing nitrous oxide or laughing gas. Then, use the nitrous oxide as rocket fuel, of course, which burns leaving only harmless oxygen as a byproduct. Rather than running needless rockets round the globe, the researchers propose that we use rocket-thruster technology to power sewage processing plants, creating a closed loop.
Is there a rocket fuel shortage, you might be wondering? No, but there is an overabundance of sewage in the world (insert world-weary pun here). Conventional processing adds oxygen to sewage sludge, encouraging aerobic bacteria to break it down and leaving nitrogen, which has a host of environmental problems associated with it. That's because nitrous oxide, the byproduct of anaerobic bacteria, is no laughing matter for the climate: it's a far more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Enter rocket science to save the day — at least the laughing-gas version pioneered by Stanford's Brian Cantwell.
Removing oxygen from the poopy mix increases the availability of methane, which can also be used as fuel. As an added benefit, the anaerobic process is cheaper. It's a complicated way to deal with life's simplest problem, but, hey, it's rocket science.

Marijuana is legal in Washington and Colorado for all purposes, and medically legal in many other states. But years of anti-marijuana propaganda still resonate in the American psyche, and nowhere is this more evident than in the trial of George Zimmerman…the police officer wannabe who stalked and gunned down unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012.
Before we look at how reefer madness is alive and well in America as revealed by the ongoing Trayvon Martin case legal battles (George Zimmerman has been charged with second degree murder and is awaiting trial), it's useful to review the Zimmerman-Martin facts as we know them now.
When somebody is following you around and confronts you, better not stand your ground, especially if you're a pot smoker.
Simply put, Zimmerman was armed inside his gated community when he spotted 17-year-old African-American Trayvon Martin. He didn't like the way Martin looked or acted, so he called the Sanford, Florida police department and said Martin looked like he was "on drugs," because Martin was walking around in the rain.
Zimmerman was not a police officer, but has been described as a "neighborhood watch volunteer." Apparently he took his volunteer job a little too seriously: in his vehicle and on the phone with a police dispatcher, Zimmerman started following Martin around.
The police dispatcher told Zimmerman to stay in his vehicle and let law enforcement handle the situation. Instead, Zimmerman got out of his vehicle and confronted Trayvon Martin. Nobody is yet sure about the total details of the altercation but it's likely Martin was scared and angry about being stalked by a pudgy, older, Hispanic-looking guy, so that when Zimmerman verbally accosted Martin (apparently asking him questions that only a police officer would have had the right to ask), the younger man may well have hit Zimmerman.

Arsene Wenger says he is not entirely sure whether Arsenal will enter the transfer market for a defender this January, with Kieran Gibbs still recovering from a setback to his hernia surgery.
Wenger is without a specialist full back entering into the new year, and while he has insisted in the past that a defender is not on the club's wishlist for the new transfer window, it is now looking likely that the Frenchman's hand will be forced.
While Arsenal have admitted that a purchase is possible in January, Wenger says that at the moment, he's still unsure over whether to make a defensive buy just yet.
"Frankly I don't know yet, it depends on what happens to Gibbs," Wenger told the official Arsenal website.
"Vermaelen does quite well at left back, it is not the position where he feels happiest but he does it with a good spirit.
"On the right side tonight I played a midfielder [Francis Coquelin], who I feel has done quite well."
Wenger praised the Arsenal squad for not giving up against Aston Villa last night, after the Gunners snared a last minute goal to win the match 2-1.
And while the manager admitted that they had luck on their side, he insisted that the team spirit is showing through as Arsenal challenge for a top four spot in the Premier League.
"Villa were dangerous but first I must say two things," he explained.
"We had two difficult away games where we had to give absolutely everything just over Christmas, physically.
"In the first half we controlled the game quite well and in the second half when they came back to 1-1 we had quite a difficult period. Then we stabilised the game and in the last 15 minutes you could feel we were on top again.
"Our spirit is exceptional and that's why we came from a bad start to the season to such a strong run.
"You could see that some legs were a bit jaded from Sunday, and some minds in the speed of the decision making. But we still kept going and there is an exceptional attitude and spirit in the side.
"Tonight, very unusually for us we scored from two set-pieces, that is basically historical!"
Arsenal now look forward to face Wolves and QPR before the turn of the new year. The Gunners will be looking to take maximum points fromboth matches as they fight to be counted for Champions League contention next season.

Jewish World Review June 16, 2008 / 13 Sivan 5768
Remembering the kid from Buffalo
By Roger Simon
If you were one of the guest journalists on the panel, you would stay in your seat and talk with him. On or off the set, Tim never acted like a superstar.
"Meet," as it was always called in the business, often had a small audience in the studio, usually just a dozen people or so sitting on folding chairs off to one side. They were usually students and always in awe watching history unfold before them on live TV.
Tim would spend a lot of time with them after the show, answering their questions, signing autographs, posing for pictures. He was a man of small kindnesses. Last year, just before the Iowa caucuses, when I was standing in the lobby of the Des Moines Marriott hotel nervously waiting for a cab that was never going to arrive for an appointment for which I was already late, Tim came up and put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Hey, I've got a car. I'll drive you." And he did. Just like that.
He was not a creature of Washington. He was a kid from Buffalo, and it showed. People in Buffalo treat each other like neighbors, and that's the way Tim treated people.
Having worked for both Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Mario Cuomo, Tim went from politics to journalism at a time when the chasm between the two was vast and not easily bridged. But Tim bridged it, and he did so by dint of sheer talent and a relentless commitment to fairness.
Much was made by politicians of passing the "Russert Test," of showing you could go toe to toe with him on live TV. Some passed, and some failed. But Tim never hit below the belt, was never snide or snarky or sneaky. His specialty was bringing up a politician's own words, own actions, own votes which were often contradictory and asking for an explanation.
It could be devastating. It reminded me of the H.L. Mencken line: "Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice." Tim dispensed justice every Sunday. "If it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press" was not a boast, it was a fact.
He was aided by great researchers and his wonderful executive producer, Betsy Fischer. "Meet" was a relentless search for truth in an era dominated by spin and deception. It was not easy. Live TV is never easy; Tim just made it look that way. He knew, of course, the show was in part about him. He knew the power of personality in both politics and journalism.
A few days after my first appearance on the show, a guy stopped me on the street and said, "Hey, I saw you on the Russert show Sunday." The Russert show. People would say that a lot. "Meet the Press" had a long, proud history, but Russert made the show his.
I was petrified the first time I went on the show I was petrified every time I went on the show but Tim would always be there in the Green Room beforehand to talk to you, and he would always be smiling, energetic, enthusiastic, looking forward to it all.
In a profession in which it is easy to burn out, Tim never did. Tim did his work without fear or favor. That's tougher than it sounds in this town. And he was gracious. He never needed to prove that he was the smartest guy in the room (though he often was). When somebody else on the show did well, Tim was delighted.
After each show, I would take my "Meet the Press" mug home with me. After about the third time, Russert said, "Hey, you're not selling those on eBay, are you?" He was kidding, but I assured him I was not selling them. I put them on my desk. Sure, they were trophies, but they were also memories and reminders: reminders of just how good political journalism could be if you worked at it hard like Tim did.
"Meet the Press" set the agenda and drove the news and made itself indispensable even in the face of formidable competition. Russert brought a sense of joy and a sense of importance to what he was doing, a sense that even though the political process could be small and demeaning, it could also be great and essential to our nation and to our democracy.
Tim Russert will miss the ending of one of the greatest elections in modern U.S. history, but he gave us the tools and insights and good examples to carry on.
But if it's Sunday, we'll miss Tim.

Join the Brooklyn Museum in making space for thoughtful encounters with great art as a catalyst for a more connected, civic, and empathetic world. We are reimagining our long-standing and dynamic Museum Guides program as BkM A.R.T. Outlining the three key features of this volunteer program—Art, Research, and Teaching—BkM A.R.T. unites our commitment to excellence with art and pedagogy.
Volunteers have the opportunity to research and engage with the Museum's encyclopedic collection and special exhibitions through in-depth trainings and lectures with Museum curators, educators, and specialists, while sharing their passion for art with the public through guided tours, conversations, and gallery experiences.
The Brooklyn Museum places excellence in art, education, and scholarship at its core. Volunteers have exclusive access to our distinguished Libraries and Archives, and will be required to conduct research on works in the permanent collection and special exhibitions. Volunteers also participate in weekly, in-depth classes on current issues in art history and museum education.
We are leaders in the field of museum education. Volunteers will join our dedicated and forward-thinking team of educators to further conversations around the cultural and civic function of art and museums. Through in-depth pedagogical training, BkM A.R.T. volunteers will explore the museum as a site of social action and free expression where we can continue to learn and expand the ways we see ourselves, the world, and its possibilities.
What is BkM A.R.T.?
This is an unpaid, volunteer program with a minimum two-year commitment.
During the first three months, new BkM A.R.T. volunteers will develop and research tours using our Libraries and Archives. This will complement a bi-monthly, two-hour workshop on our collections led by Museum curators, specialists, and educators. All BkM A.R.T. volunteers will also participate in weekly two-hour training sessions across our collections and special exhibitions. These sessions are ongoing for all volunteers and include focused art historical study and training on current museum education techniques.
After this initial three-month period, new volunteers will be able to give tours in the Museum on topics of their choice. While topics must engage with our collection and/or special exhibitions, we welcome a wide range of innovative teaching models and gallery experiences. BkM A.R.T. volunteers will be responsible for a minimum of two tours per month, over a ten-month teaching period, with flexible scheduling.
The training schedule is structured like an academic year, taking place during both fall and spring semesters, with breaks during the winter and summer months. We appreciate the outside demands of our volunteers, and weekday trainings are available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to accommodate a variety of schedules.
Trainings include:
As a BkM A.R.T. volunteer guide, you'll also have the opportunity to create your own tours, while developing stronger public speaking and communication skills, serve as an ambassador between the Museum and the public, and become a valued part of our dynamic community.
Other perks include:
We're looking for:
Applications for the BkM A.R.T. program are currently closed. Please check back for updates. Thank you for your interest in our programs!

Eating Peanut Butter/Peanuts at Breakfast Helps Control Hunger and Blood Sugar All Day
New Study - Press ReleaseA new study, released in the current British Journal of Nutrition, showed that consuming peanut butter or peanuts for breakfast can control blood sugar throughout most of the day, even after eating a high carbohydrate lunch. In addition to this "Second Meal Effect", peanuts and peanut butter caused a significant reduction in the desire to eat for up to 12 hours and a significant increase in the secretion of the hormone PYY that promotes satiety and feelings of fullness.

Coca Cola FEMSA teamed up with Foundation Real Madrid and Roxas Foundation, Inc. to open their second Social Sports School program in Negros last October. Their goal, however, isn't to raise the next generation of star athletes, but the country's future leaders
They are not looking for Ronaldo.
Even if there is a child who can promise the speed and skill of Real Madrid's star player, the Foundacion is more interested in a child who can promise a better performance in school, a better dream for his or her family, and a better future for the country.
Fundacion Real Madrid is looking for a president among the underprivileged children of La Carlota, Negros Occidental.
With the help of Coca Cola FEMSA and the Roxas Foundation, the group has been training school teachers over the past year to coach their students in playing football, a new way of integrating their classroom lessons and studies of values. It's the second implementation of the three companies' Social Sports School and an extension of their corporate social responsibility programs, the first being in Batangas last year.
"We are also working very strongly in developing abilities in kids to take the right choices in life. This program is about that," said Juan Dominguez, corporate affairs director of Coca-Cola FEMSA. "Many kids do become better people through something that is very important, which I think is an active and healthy lifestyle. Twenty years ago, we did not have tablets and electronic devices, and even televisions were not widespread. So kids were out on the streets playing." Having grown up in Colombia as a big football fan, the Social Sports School is a program close to his heart.
In the latter half of the year, the coaches began holding soccer clinics on Saturdays, an after-school activity that encouraged some sixty indigent students from seven public schools to engage their weekly learnings in a practical way. Coaches, for instance, would instruct teams to sort themselves according to parts of the Philippines or to continents, enabling the kids' knowledge of grade-school geography. The program has also enabled them to learn values in an engaging way, and by playing in a team, the kids have learned how to engage in team dynamics and community development.
"The program does not only benefit the children but also the people the children interact with. We're talking about their siblings, we're also talking about their parents, and their friends in the different schools. Because these programs are not school-based, but they're out of school, you generally have an impact that is beyond the four walls of the classroom," said Dominguez.
Roxas Foundation President Bea Roxas is pleased by how overwhelmingly positive the results of the program have turned out: "Lately, we've received feedback from the Social Sports School football training program that pupils are more inspired to go to school every day, which improves their scholastic performance." There are plans to take the next step with this program by holding the first La Carlota friendly inter-school competition in 2016.

About To Get Busy
So, Saturday was a waste shopping-wise, as I whined about already. Apparently, I just picked the wrong stores. I was out Monday night and stopped into Beall's, where I found a zillion things I liked. I tried on a bunch but narrowed down my purchases to one print and beaded shell in brown/purple tones, one pumpkin-ish cardigan, and one pair of jeans. The jeans will probably go back because I think they're just a little too low-rise for me to like. But I wanted to look at the finishing touches for more than 15 minutes, for when I do eventually sew my own jeans again. Plus, they are a regular size 16 so I wanted to bask in that for a few days too. Heh heh. I've already worn the shell (no pics, sorry) and have plans to sew a Jalie top to wear with the cardi — I forget the pattern number, but it's the tie-front top.
Last night was a total wash. I laid down to watch TV at 8 PM and woke up at 2 AM, still wearing my (old) jeans. Oops. I changed into a nightgown, brushed my teeth, and then went back to sleep until 6 AM this morning. I'm very well-rested. ;-) But not much in the mood to sew tonight so there won't be anything to show tomorrow either. This is just a boring, photo-less post tonight and it may be tomorrow too.
This weekend is when I have to kick it into high gear. This morning, I had a cammie purse and wallet order come through my email. And yesterday a box arrived from my sister (with a check — yay sis!) with a bunch of shirts for more embroidery for the towing business design. I can do that and watch TV at the same time, so maybe I'll set up for embroidery tomorrow night. I hope I'm motivated because it would be nice to knock all of those out before the weekend.
I will need to find something for a coat, though. I've decided I'm going to Virginia for Thanksgiving, leaving the Wednesday before, with stop in NC to pick up Tyler. Nothing fancy, since it will be jeans all weekend long. But something that fits, and flatters. I haven't bought a real coat in over 20 years. My old coat is so old it's in, so that will be my Plan B. But we do have a Burlington Coat Factory in town and that's my Plan A. Hopefully, I can squeeze in a trip there in the next week. Geez, I 'm so busy lately. This working stuff really cuts into my free time. :-)

Of the many people who have stalls at the MCM Expo in London this May, most will be skilled at one art. The artist at Artists Alley, the plushie makers and the jewellery makers. The list goes on and on. I was recently able to talk to Tab Kimpton, who will not only be bringing his comic series to the event, but also has expertise in cosplaying, prop design, and many other things. In this interview we discussed his comics, his future plans, what we can expect to see from him at MCM this month and his artistic inspirations.
Laura: For those who don't know, could you tell us a little about yourself and what you do?
Tab: My name's Tab Kimpton, I work full time as a comic writer and dealer at anime events around the UK and Europe. I write an LGBT comic called Khaos Komix, a Steampunk book of Silly called the Khaotic Emporium, and sell related merchandise and accessories on a traders table at cons. I used to take on costume commissions but I decided to close those down this year to focus on more comic work.
I'm known by a lot of people because I give talks at events on how to make things and do occasional burlesque/cabaret style performances as part of the Khaotic Emporium, but that's more something I do for fun, not really work!
Laura: How did you first get into cosplaying? How long was it before you knew you could turn it into a career?
Tab: I first encountered cosplay at a tiny little bookstore anime event in Southampton. A guy turned up in an awesome Cloud costume, and seeing him pushed me to have a go. I started attending my first real conventions, performing a lot of skit work which meant making more costumes, then did some competitions.
After college I couldn't decide on a degree, so I looked around for work, landing a trainee accountant job. My intention was to use it to make enough money to continue all my hobbies at the same time (because cosplay is expensive!), but full time work took too much out of me. My boss was particularly horrible, and during the winter my partner's mother died and he lost his job, so I had to stay in work to support him. I had been taking on some commissions for costume work here and there, and Khaos Komix earns me some money in donations, but it didn't make enough money on its own, and the leap to full time had no guarantee to give enough income.
It was around this time I started getting into Steampunk, and noticed that a lot of the things I'd like to buy at cons weren't being sold. I had some money in savings which I used to buy a bulk of pocket watches and goggles, made as many accessories as I could and bought a table at London Expo. In one weekend I earned over three months of my accountant wages. It was risky, but I knew something had to give, so I handed in my notice, bought more stock, and began my life as full time self employed.
Unfortunately for all those hopeful people out there, costume making is the one thing I do that makes the least amount of money. I have to put so much effort into each commission, and while my panel giving skills get me invited to events, it is basically free work.
Laura: What have been your favourite costumes to make and wear?
Tab: Of my own stuff, I loved making my Crystal Siegfried costume. It's the most innovative with materials I've ever been, and is technically impressive. However it's a massive pain to wear and to transport. The sword is pretty light, but it still throws my shoulder out for days afterwards, and the armour bruises my arms if I lift them up too much.
To wear, I love my Billy Strings costume. He's an original character so I designed his costume to be comfortable. He's not particularly impressive to look at, but when I wear him on stage the audience reaction is amazing, and as a performer that's what I'm going for.
When it comes down to it, I just prefer sewing more! The problem is that most 'impressive' male costumes tend to be armour based, so I haven't found anything sewn that catches my eye. And for female costumes, heels are a pain to wear at cons!
Laura: What are your artistic influences when designing your various comics?
Tab: When I first started drawing comics it was with a heavy Manga and Marvel influence to my characters. However as time has gone on I've just tried to aim to draw people as accurately as possible, because I found that I couldn't sit in a style that wasn't my own. From all of that some kind of style has emerged that I'd call my own, though there's always ways that I want to improve it.
Laura: Did your "The Khaotic Emporium" comic or the Steampunk original character costumes come first? Was there a conscious choice to have the characters overlap between the two mediums when designing them?
Tab: I made the costumes first. Most of them started out as terrible jokes – Cogsworth the Clockwork Captain began as a idea about making a Steampunk mecha. Then with people actually wearing them and bringing them to life with silly voices and mannerisms, they took on their own personalities. We jokingly made stories about things they would do, I drew a few doodles, then I decided I'd bring out a comic to give them the back story they deserve. People liked the first book, so I'm now working on a second, hopefully to come out this year.
Laura: KhaosKomix covers a variety of different genders, sexualities and perspectives with amazing insight (many people I've shown it to have applauded it for its accuracy and believability). How much of what you write comes from your own experiences? Do you have to do much research?
Tab: I like to say that Khaos isn't an LGBT comic, but one about gender and sexuality, something that everyone has to deal with, no matter where they realise they are in the end. Some of it comes from personal experience (I have slightly too many stories about falling in love with your best friend…), however a lot of it is completely new for me. Writing Amber and Nay's stories were particularly hard because I didn't want to be another guy writing a lesbian story badly. In the end all I really had to do was to treat each character like a person, not the sum of their respective labels, and it worked from there.
The earlier stories have less research, which I think shows slightly, but as I've gone on a lot more thought has been put into the characters and their lives. The last few chapters have dealt with trans issues, and I felt that it was vital that they be treated in a sensitive and respectful manner. A lot of my work has been done for me through the Khaos Komix forum – lots of people of different experiences gather there, and just by talking and reading what other people have to say I've learnt a lot.
Laura: If you don't mind my asking, how do you personally identify yourself on the gender and sexuality spectrum? How has that effected both your cosplay choices and your comics?
Tab: I don't tend to talk about my own experiences much, partially due to some rather vicious hate mail I got a few years ago that hit a bit too close to home.
I'm male, though rather effeminate in nature and not too fussed on people seeing me as a manly man. I identify as queer because I reserve the right to always change my mind, and other labels are too restrictive! I'm also polyamorous, something not brought up in Khaos, but something I hope to write about one day. I have a couple of romantic partners who all know about each other and are happy with the situation. I've been called a lot of things from greedy to 'perpetuating the stereotype' for that, but I just can't understand how other people can only love one person, in the same way they probably find me just as bizarre.
When it comes to cosplay I have a habit of choosing costumes I can do with my partners because I like performing with them. Me and Matt have been doing couple cosplay for years, though we're not that affectionate and most people think we're just house mates, including good friends of ours who should know better! A lot of the stuff we do are things he likes, and I just make them because I like the challenge.
Laura: Do you have any advice for those looking to crossplay or those working out their place on the gender and sexuality spectrums?
Tab: Horrifically cliché, but "Be yourself". It's one of the hardest things you can do in life, but if you can't live life as You, then what's the point of living someone else's life?
Laura: What can you tell us about your future plans after the end of Khaos Komix?
Tab: I keep getting asked this one! I'm on the last story so that's probably why every interview this year has been about it!
I'm currently toying with the idea of a heavily illustrated novel (about a picture a page), revolving around a polyamorous triad (that's threesome to those not up with lingo). The current working title is Los Tres Pecadores, which is spanish for The Three Sinners. It will probably be a bit more adult than Khaos, but that will be for many reasons, not just because it's raunchy. It will be set in both the past and future, telling the story of Bill, a middle aged roadie who lost the love of his life twice.
Laura: What should we expect to see at your stall in May?
Tab: I'll have my usual fare of gear, with some new pocket watch and jewellery designs as part of the Khaotic Emporium, but this May we'll be bringing out some video game parody shirts to go with our costume and skit section with Khaos Kostumes. The Khaos Komix section now also features ringbows, the rainbow you can wear around your finger! They arrived about a month ago and I've been wearing mine ever since. It's a nice subtle way to imply your queerness. I don't know about other people, but everyone assuming I'm straight (HOW?) gets a bit tiring after a while.
Laura: Lastly, do you have any final words?
Tab: I'm totally done, rambled some preachy things for which I'm sorry.
Laura: No need to say sorry, Thank you very much for your time.

Let's face in: in most situations, it's better out than in! Sometimes the advice that our parents give us is good advice – not because they are particularly talented, but because they have gone through exactly the same thing themselves! It sounds boring, we know, but often Mom and Dad do know best, and much of the advice that they give throughout the years can probably be summed up in these four words: better out than in! You may cringe, but let's be honest, how many times have they said that to you? And how many times were they right? That's what we thought – so we decided to look into whether this was also true for actual health problems such as terrible wisdom tooth pain.
Wisdom teeth hurt so much for two main reasons: because they are forcing their way through a huge amount of gum and tissue in order to break the surface which can be very painful in itself, and because they could be growing at an angle into another tooth or your jaw. This extra pressure that is placed on your jaw or other teeth will have a knock on effect on your whole body, creating extra tension, pain in your mouth, and sometimes sympathy pain in other areas. The longer that you leave your wisdom teeth in this position, the worse it can get, to the point where you almost cannot concentrate on anything else in your life because the pain is just so great.
So if you decide that San Diego wisdom teeth removal is the best choice for you, then how do you go about it? Well, firstly you will need to book a dentist appointment and chat things through with them. In San Diego wisdom teeth removals are very common, so it will not be difficult for you to find a dentist with a lot of experience of this particular dental procedure. They will do a full examination, focussing on your wisdom teeth. They may need to take an x-ray to see how the growth of the wisdom tooth is progressing, and this will help them to decide whether it is better to wait and see whether or not you will definitely need to have a San Diego wisdom teeth removal procedure, or whether there is a chance that the wisdom teeth will grow healthily. Of course, if you are in a substantial amount of pain then they will probably decide that, whether they are growing straight or not, it is time for them to come out.
You should not feel worried about the wisdom tooth removal procedure itself. In many ways, it is exactly the same as any other type of tooth removal – the only difference is that the recovery time is a little longer because it is often a much larger tooth. The removal itself should take less than an hour, and you should ensure that you have someone who can take you home as you may not be safe to drive after experiencing the pain medication that they give you during the treatment. It will take you a few days, perhaps three, to recover, and you should spend the majority of that time resting. Enjoy the sights in San Diego wisdom teeth removal completed, safe in the knowledge that you made the right decision to get those pesky teeth out of your mouth.
Better out than in. Why not have a chat with your dentist about your wisdom teeth. Are they starting to come through yet? Have you got one or two, but not the full set yet? And do you want them to come out?

Ohio State defensive coordinator and former Penn State assistant coach Greg Schiano said that he "never saw any abuse, nor did have reason to suspect any abuse" by former PSU assistant Jerry Sandusky during his time at Penn State from 1990-1995.
ESPN reporter Adam Schefter received those words from Schiano in response to allegations that he saw Sandusky "doing something to a boy in a shower" in the '90s.
According to court records unsealed on Tuesday, the testimony of former assistant coach Mike McQueary said that Schiano came into then-assistant coach Tom Bradley's office "as white as a ghost." Schiano told Bradley that he saw Sandusky "doing something to a boy in a shower," according to McQueary.
McQueary said Bradley told him what Schiano said, but it's unclear where the information went after that.
At that time, Bradley was the team's outside linebackers and special teams coach, making he and Schiano peers. Sandusky was PSU's defensive coordinator at the time Schiano was on staff.
Convicted in 2012, Sandusky is currently serving a 30-to-60-year sentence of 45 counts of sexual abuse on young boys. The documents allege that former PSU coach Joe Paterno knew about the abuse in 1976.
Schiano was a Nittany Lions' graduate assistant in 1990 and its defensive backs coach from 1991 to 1995.
2016 will be Schiano's first season on staff after replacing Chris Ash who left OSU to be the head coach at Rutgers, a job Schiano served in from 2001-2011. He then became the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach from 2012-2013.
First posted by Janet Pickel of Penn Live, the records can be accessed here.
Warning: The records are graphic in nature.
Editor Note: This article was updated upon Schiano's comments in response to allegations.

Over 250 people gathered to participate in the 1st annual Windsor-Detroit Hacking Health event at TechTown Detroit on May 1-3, 2015. The event teamed up health care professionals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and hospital admins with professionals from the IT sector, programmers, and designers to design mobile solutions for the healthcare sector.
At the beginning o the event, it was obvious that the focus was clearly on mobile apps, and wearables. However, with the team of 3D printing designers from MakerOS, and some top notch 3D printers available, it didn't take long before the shift of focus.
In addition to wearable devices being 3D printed, there was one project that really struck a cord. The project involved designing a harness for a mobile phone, to support it while it performed scans of a rapid diagnostic test. A rapid diagnostic test is cartridge or paper based test that typically responds to fluids such as blood, saliva or urine and creates a line if a positive results is present. Common examples include pregnancy, HIV, and malaria tests.
On the global scene, two of the biggest problems with identifying and managing infectious diseases in developing countries are:
1) Unsatisfactory diagnosis and clinical management at the point of care and
2) Inadequate capture and transfer of point-of-care data to health program stakeholders for monitoring and evaluation (M&E), continuous quality improvement, and scarce resource management.
The only feasible clinical testing technology for a low-resource setting is the use of (RDTs); unfortunately, the only practical means to read these types of tests are visual inspection with the naked eye, which leads to field accuracy far below the manufacturer's performance rating. The other problem is that health care workers are too busy delivering essential care to patients, and do not have the time or resources to perform adequate documentation of their activities and the test results. As a result, data from the point of care is basically not available.
This problem is alleviated by a company called iSTOC and its mobile IDA Health platform, which works on certified Android and iOS devices. The IDA Health app is used by health care professionals to digitize tests at the point of care, and then transmit records of patient encounters to the iSTOC cloud web tool. The IDA app transforms the mobile phone into a diagnostic device that interprets commercially available RDTs for infectious diseases, such as malaria, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis, and dengue.
Shaking hand syndrome
The main challenge with using the IDA solution in the clinical setting is shaky hands and dealing with large volumes of tests. The phone must be correctly positioned during the RDT scanning process. Analysis of the data from field trials revealed that, although most scans were performed in less that 8 seconds, there were nurses and healthcare workers who were talking much longer. An evaluation recommended that a phone harness be made available to some locations, especially in developing countries, to automate the scanning of batches and assist people with shaky hands.
Hacking out a solution
Fortunately, this problem was tackled at the Hacking Health event. The most important parameters were to create a 3D printable device that:
- Could hold a typical smartphone in existence now and in the future.
- Change angles between 10 – 35% to accommodate the various strip -scanning angles
- Adjust in height to support the autofocus.
- Have a base that could be adapted to different types of strips.
- Be easily 3D printed and assembled anywhere in the world, from Lagos to Mumbai, with easy-to-follow instructions.
It took one hour to discuss the options, and three hours to design the optimum solution. The solution was printed overnight and showcased at the demo session on the last day of the hackathon. It took 2 years to get to this point, and without the collaboration of the Hacking Health participants and the MakerOS team it would not be a reality.
The most compelling aspect of this solution is the ability to easily deploy the mobile phone harness solution anywhere in the world. With the propagation of 3D printing technology going global, we just send the 3D (STL) files to locations in a given locale. With the availability of software, such as the MakerOS advanced business management platform, it is becoming even easier for global Makers to start 3D printing businesses. MakerOS is a complete turn-key web application to manage clients, projects, financials.

Christmas Cards
I spent most of last night and two DVDs of 30 Rock screenprinting these Christmas cards based on my Angel Scherenschnitt. I'm exhausted! I think they turned out really pretty though. The design is modified slightly from the original papercut to fit on the card better. Not by much though!
Find them for sale at my Etsy shop!
Here are some details from the card - this one is of one of the angel's hands and how it is shooting out stars.
This is a profile of the face. Goccos can get such great detail.
This is my favorite part, how the lettering turned out. It was so detailed in the papercut and I was worried that it wouldn't translate well into the screenprint, but the message is clear!

Ahuva Rogers
Five questions with ... B.C. Cabangbang
An interior designer with Hudson's for many years, B.C. Cabangbang now showcases his personal style at his Royal Oak store, ChoZen by B.C. Opened in 2006, the shop carries an eclectic array of gift items, home accents, and furnishings all personally chosen by B.C. Recently, he took a minute to answer our five questions.
2008 Design Award Judges
The results of our fourth competition prove, once again, that metro Detroit is home to an impressive roster of talented designers, architects, builders, and artisans. The winners showcase presented here is our way of giving a hearty round of applause for their fine collective portfolio.
Children lucky enough to have their own playhouse traditionally have had to make do with the run-of-the-mill, Hansel-and-Gretel style, gingerbread design.
Split-level houses — a multi-story modification of the one-floor ranch — became popular in the 1950s. Retaining the ranch's horizontal lines, low-pitched roof, and overhanging eaves, the split-level added a two-story unit intercepted by a one-story wing.
Paul McCobb
Trained as an artist in Boston before moving to New York in the late 1940s, Paul McCobb made his name designing retail displays and furniture.
Down on the Farm
In July of 1825, John Dix, a retired sea captain from the east, raised the first frame barn built in Ann Arbor Township.

A factory owner said to a store owner, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your patronage. I wish I had twenty customers like you."
"Gosh, it's nice to hear that, but I'm kind of surprised," admitted Smith. "You know that I argue every bill and always pay late."
The factory owner said, "I'd still like twenty customers like you. The problem is, I have two hundred."

According to the newest Finnish basic education curriculum from 2016, every teacher needs to pay attention to certain important general skills and incorporate them into teaching, regardless of the subjects they teach. Let's go through those skills.
1. Learning to care of yourself and everyday skills
This is something schools are often said overlooking. Teachers need to make sure pupils learn for life, not (just) for school. In my opinion, coping with life is one of greatest lessons schools can offer. And one can only wonder the vexed question: Where's the balance between theoretical and practical knowledge?
2. Thinking and learning to learn
It's always pivotal to learn to think for yourself, not just follow others and trends. If a society is to evolve, someone needs to be the pioneer with new ideas. Additionally, with teacher's support one should discover the best way that advances learning.
3. Cultural skills, interaction and learning self-expression
Interaction, group skills and problem-solving are deeply advocated by the newest curriculum. In theory the more there's interaction, the less there's distrust, exclusion and xenophobia.
4. Multiliteracy
Information flow is growing rapidly and pupils are exposed to various interest groups. That's why one should learn to filter it and distinguish 'fact' from 'fiction'. I've been thinking about a course model that revolves around the idea on how to identify false/correct sources. Needless to say though, multiliteracy needs to evolve leaps and bounds from the current level.
5. Information and communication technology
Schools are in the midst of a technology revolution that seems never-ending. Some teachers are uncertain how to use new technology, when and how much. And how much new technology really helps learning? Are old teaching methods abandoned too easily?
6. Working life and entrepreneurship
Closely connected to 'everyday skills', working life shouldn't stay too distant from pupils. Let's not forget creativity: Could pupils start a fictional company? In any case, it's a good lesson of how to think a little bit ahead.
7. Participation and bulding a sustainable future
Pupils should be introduced to various ways of how to influence near and far as well as be encouraged to find suitable ways for them. Not e.g. by creating a bad conscience of events happened in the past, but through real interest. In the end teachers have to ponder, how practical and close to everyday life teaching about participation can be.
Comments welcome 🙂

I'll admit it, I'm a "revolution fetishist". I love the idea of taking part of one. The liberal, reformist and conservative consensus is clear: there will be no more revolutions! We've had enough of those, you know. It seems like such and old fashioned thing to do, like riding on a horse-and-wagon, something that made sense back when we didn't have the unquestionable virtues of representative democracy, universial suffrage, corporate capitalism and a caring nanny state to protect us. Revolutions of past, that got us where we were, are romanticized and held by the regime that it instituted as sacred objects. But of course, revolutions are way out of style now. That was THEN. This is NOW.
The fate of the U.S.S.R, PRC and other revolutionary Marxist projects, as well as the Syndicalists during the Spanish Civil War has sadly turned many people interested in radical social change away from the idea of revolution and in to the silly quagmire of reformist progressivism, or at worst, conservatism. And the revolutionaries themselves haven't been useful, mainly because they're so disconnected from what actual people want. These days, atomism prevails in political debates. Women's rights is a different debate from gay rights which is a different debate about tax-loopholes which is a different debate from war which is a different debate from labor-unions. You can't rail against "The System" or anything like that. People usually have one pet issue, that maybe indicates preference for other issues, but you can't really tell. When people are interested in Politics they are more interested in Specifics rather than the Whole Picture. This is of course, dumb, everything has a context and that context may be as important as the thing itself. But sadly, this is how people think. We could devote our time trying to get them to see the larger picture, but a lot of times, we need to give people a starting point.
They don't wanna hear about Revolution, they have a pet issue that needs a solution. And libertarian socialists don't have any answers. When the issue of austerity comes up, people like the writers for libcom.org usually get riled up against the evil capitalist state selling of public industry to profit-driven industry. But what is the libertarian socialist stance on public service? We know that state owned services isn't ideal, but what is the alternative? The LibSoc's usually answer with lines straight out of the Authoritarian Socialist textbooks, about how Free Markets are the Evilest and These Cool State Programs are going to make it all ok, just with the disclaimer that of course all of that will be gone after the revolution. This is pretty unattractive to any single issue voter looking for a different way of thinking. To be clear, you don't have propose a reform, but you could propose a form, in which these things could take.
The point I'm trying to get at is that revolutionary politics of the day have make sure they are aware of the political environment they're in, and adapt a form of propaganda which does not only dwell in systematic analysis, but also provides an attractive solution to solve the specific issues that people usually worry about. All of this should be done while avoiding reformism and top-down approaches to the issues, and hint at a revolution bringing about these things. There is no dichotomy between contextual and individual concerns, rather, a need to balance the two and integrate them more efficiently into our political analysis.

Hey OP if you're a guy you just need not tense up so bad when you get close to the moment. Learn to relax more. Cus those kinda cramps suck ass. I've gotten those and theyre not fun.
emilyjgraham | 34
14 a lot of people receive cramps just before or during orgasm, just not like the ops describing. something tells me these cramps won't just go if he relaxes. he shouldn't feel embarrassed to go to the doctor, it might not be life threatening but if something is wrong and it's caught quickly enough it can be treated and he can orgasm without pain :)
skitzofunia88 | 8
I realize that 17, it was just a situation Ive had before and I thought I might try to help with advise instead of saying some shitty remark like, sucks to be you OP. You know?
foolycooly910 | 5
yeah this guys right that might be a medical condition that might beed to examined just saying :/
emilyjgraham | 34
I agree it was a much better response than one that doesn't help whatsoever... apologies :)

Speaking of useless comments. How has there not been 1 "doesn't matter, had sex" yet. I'm pretty sure every FML remotely related to sex has one of these.
smelly_turtle | 2
Doesnt matter had sex
ScaughtieHolden | 11
It doesn't say OP had sex. OP could be lonely and just jacking off.
MetalxSoldier | 26
Maybe a different position should be arranged. (;
littlemissgrace | 15
I have the same problem. No position helped, so I just have to make sure my guy climaxes before I do
MetalxSoldier | 26
I'm sorry 82. :( Everyone deserves to be sexually satisfied. (excluding pedos)
NurseHolly | 3
That was my thought 113, unfortunately that's quite possibly the least serious condition she may be suffering from (if she is in fact a she!) Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Ovarian Cysts, Uterine Fibroids, the scary "C" word... Etc. all can present like that. Definitely a good thing to get checked out.

Cum on now, there's no need for doctors..... No pun intended.

Yeah he had sex. With his hand.

You had an orgasm because you read something about an orgasm? That's a bit pathetic...

You should probably go see a doctor.
