Q:
Arduino as switch for external circuit
I am trying to use the Arduino as a switch for an external circuit.
I first thought about using a shift register, but this wont allow me to switch the external circuit. Here is a little sketch of what I want to do :
So basically I got this external circuit with a 3 position switch. And I want to replace this manual switch with an Arduino so it can be controlled by a PC, without influencing the other circuits Voltage or Amps...
Any suggestions ?
A:
Three-position makes it a little more tricky than normal.
The simplest option, though depending on what the circuit is, maybe not the safest option, is to use three relays.
Switch only one relay on and it is the same as having the three-position switch in that same state. Switch that relay off and switch another on and you have changed the switch position.
The danger is that this arrangement can have two or even three relays on at once, something that can't happen with a switch. Also how you do the switching could be critical. Switch one relay off, then add a delay before switching the next one on, so that the previous one has a chance to switch off properly first. That way you avoid having two on at once. Of course, depending on what it is you're switching, that may or may not be an issue.
The safest option, though the hardest to create, would be to physically move the existing switch with, say, a servo motor. Without knowing a little more about the mechanics of your switch I can't really advise more on this option.

We’ve had a number of scenes from our friends at Men.com up lately, so I hesitated posting this one from sub-site DrillMyHole.com, too, but . . .
[flowplayer src=’ https://erawtika.com//gaypanic/video/SergeantsOrder_scene1_trailer_1080p_10000.m4v’ splash=’ https://erawtika.com//gaypanic/video/SergeantsOrder_scene1_trailer_1080p_10000.jpg’]
. . . it’s such a wild, fury-filled fuck scene that I think you’d all like to see it.
In Sergeant’s Orders, the energetic and nasty Damien Crosse is . . . energetic and nasty. Newcomer (at least to me, anyway) Scott Carter, all muscled and hairy and bearded and hung, is a fucking revelation. Though he seems like he’d be a top, he bottom-bitches for the commanding Crosse and Brings. It.
Carter gets a gag shoved in his mouth, gets smash-kicked in the chest and gives a whole new meaning to the word pushup at one point.
In other words, he does what the fuck he’s told.
The result? One hot scene. | {

Colbert
EACH EVE WITH STEVE: An Ode to Stephen Colbert
How do I love him?
Let me count the ways:
Sparkling eyes—not dim,
Piercing as they gaze.
Strong chin, classic nose,
Svelte frame, graceful stride!
I admire the pose
Which can barely hide
Jabs at nasty foes—
Political hacks
Marching us to Hell
Who deserve bold whacks
Or a “punny” yell!
Brave super-hero
Battling grizzly bears!
Never some Nero
Fiddling! Stephen cares!
We all laugh, yet learn—
From a master clown—
We ain’t gonna burn
When the chips are down!
Colbert’s nightly gift
Of mirth and word-play
Provides such a lift
To our… "U.S.A.”!!!!!!!!
If I had my way...
(Taurus to Taurus ;D) --
On my knees, I'd pray
(With fans in chorus):
"Dear Jesus, hear me:
THIS genius deserves
His own damned Emmy
For pitching grand curves!!!!"

"Ester, stand there." "Come on." "I said stay over there, kid." "Is my dad some kind of spy?" "Get down." "That's the kind of question you should ask him." "Do you have a family?" "Yeah." "I got some parents, live in separate states, which is great for the family." "I got a couple of brothers." "They're idiots." "No, I meant of your own." "You ask a lot of questions, huh, kid?" "You got a cigarette?" "Didn't get to the shop today." "Mm-hmm." "Zero, over." "Yeah." "This is Bravo One." "Come in." "What's your position?" "Right now we're stuck between a rock and a hard Scot."

"She's al-Zuhari's wife." "Shit." "Are you fucking kidding me?" "Do you have a location on Dalton yet?" "That's a negative." "If she's broken Abboud, she'll be headed for wherever that woman was going to be taken." "And..." "Yeah." "And Leatherby's the only other person who knows where that's at." "That's a roger." "And, Bravo One, let's get that address from Leatherby." "Out." "Up on the roof." "What are we waiting for?" "Let's kill those bastards, huh?" "Aah!" "All right, boys." "This is where it ends."

"_" "_" "Were you to meet al-Zuhari?" "_" "_" "Shh." "I'll leave you to think about it." "What did you say to her?" "That I'd let her get out of here." "She'll never tell us where al-Zuhari is, but if we let her escape, she will lead us to him." "What do you want?" "A free ride home, hmm?" "Even if I walk away, Hezbollah will still want you dead." "We just need an address from you." "That's it." "Where were you taking Sofia Abboud?" "Ha." "You think I give a shit about him?" "You're here, aren't you?" "Why are you here?" "For Queen and Country, huh?" "The truth is, you're here for the same reason I am... our dirty little secret." "This is great fucking fun, eh?" "Eh?" "Try telling that to the old dear standing next to you in the queue in the supermarket." "You never feel more fucking ALIVE than the moment that you're killing another human being." "You speak for yourself." "Oh, come on." "Come on." "You're a smart lad." "You know you're out here killing for oil, dollars, and dividends." "It's just easier to pretend otherwise." "And then... and then when you've bled out in some fucking shithole like this, and you will, and they don't bother turning up for your funeral, they'll just post your family, if you've got one," "a fucking medal."

"James, don't..." "Don't whine like a girl." "Please." "Be a man." "Make a choice!" "Shut the fuck up!" "You'd better fucking convince him." "James, look at me." "Don't." "Shut the fuck up!"

"Where are you, Rachel?" "We're at Rue Eville." "Sit tight and observe only." "Stay on open channel." "We're on our way." "Dalton's at Rue Eville." "Let's move!" "Move!" "Get the girl back to the Crib." "Get in the car." "Get in the car." "Mike, Scott, you're with me!" "Go, go." "Go, go, go!" "Sofia." "You've come a long way." "Where's my husband?" "He couldn't be here, but he told me to tell you he's truly sorry." "Uh!" "I have a shot inside." "Rachel, get out of that house now." "Get out of that house now, Rachel." "Too late." "Shit." "Goddammit!" "I'm sorry." "Uh!" "Uh!" "You know my face, do you?" "From all those Special Branch files, right?" "What are you, a soldier?" "Well, Brit, this one's for my brother." "Aaah!" "Fuck, did you hear that?" "!" "MacKenna." "So here's how it ends." "I'm famous, and you're done." "Fuck." "Shit." "Going right." "She's gone." "I was too late." "Behind that wall!" "Whatever Sofia was carrying, she took it." "Who?" "Mairead MacKenna." "Real IRA." "What?" "What the fuck is the real IRA doing in the middle of this?" "I don't know, but that was her voice on comms." "She was right." "Hey." "Thank God you're all right!" "I'm fine." "Are you OK?" "Yeah." " Are you sure?" " Uh-huh." "I love you." "I love you, too, Dad." "We're gonna go." "Wait." "Um, you'd, um, make an all right dad, too." "Really?" "You're a pretty good kid." "We're done." "It's all good." "What is this?" "A pebble?" "Oh, fuck, it's not a pebble." "That would be one very expensive pebble." "That is an uncut diamond." "Really?" "Really." "How much?" "It's enough for you to get home, get out of trouble." "Why are you doing this for me?" "I don't know." "Probably because you want to get home and see your family... fix things." "And if I want to say "Thank you"?" "Well... begin with this." "That is not a girl's name." "It's my hotel." "Don't eat that." "Not good for you." "_" "_" "I'm just thinking, what the fuck do we do after all this, you know?"

Let's K12 Better
You can probably imagine the emotions that rushed over me when my 3 year old daughter said, "Sometimes babies are fed milk from penises". There was an intensity that began to build up and was immediately suppressed as I went directly into detective mode.
I am a strong proponent of open, honest dialogue and communication about everything with my daughters. We refresh every couple days our action plan for inappropriate requests or contact from adults or kids. I remain vigilant and take painstaking measures to discuss everything in gory detail. So when I heard this from my 3 year old, my mind then shifted to find moments where something heinous could have happened. I began to blame myself. I never really leave my kids with anyone but it's often family and people you trust who are culprits. So my database searched for a person who would seize such a moment to violate my child and my trust. I talked to her. "Sweetheart, who told you this?". My question was met with laughter. 'Oh my god' I thought, 'Someone must've made this a game to her'. "Lady, I'm not joking this is serious. Who told you this? Did someone touch you inappropriately?" Her sisters gathered around for moral support, putting their hands on her and saying things like "you aren't in trouble" and "it's ok to tell mom nothing bad will happen". She laughed at us all. So I began saying names- Cousins, parents, grandparents, other family members and friends. All my efforts met with joking nos and other playful banter. All of which consumed me with frustration. I was prepared to make phone calls. "Mom, I saw it in TV". What? Someone's showed her porn! I was so angry. "Who showed you this?" I asked wondering how and when a toddler would come across something so inappropriate. "Mom on TV. The animals do it. The baby horse". Still not convinced I continued to probe until finally it clicked. She saw utters or the horse equivalent of cow utters. So instead of going crazy I pulled up pictures on the internet on my phone. "Ok is this what you saw?". "Yeh. A horse penis with milk". Hmm. Ok time to talk. So we talked about how horses and cows and deer have their breasts under whereas ours are up top because we walk upright. She asked where their vagina would be since the utters are there. We looked it up on the internet and talked about that. We talked about how if we were on all fours our breasts are under like a horse, primarily like a gorilla. We looked at pictures of mother animals nursing and I explained that their mammary glands were not penises. (My kids know what a penis is/looks like and they know what a vagina is.) I further explained that nothing comes out of a penis that you drink. That penises are dirty and they do not go in anyone's mouth. I think for a three year old and her sisters this is perfectly fine to say. Frank and to the point. We can have another talk about oral sex as they approach teen years but for now no child should have anyone's privates near their face. With that said I'm not fully satisfied with my findings today but I am glad that I could use this as a moment to talk with my kids again about other people; their own private areas and their use; the inappropriate request that hopefully will not but may come their way; what happens after something inappropriate happens; and how they are empowered in what they can do about it. It's important for parents to be frank. It's important to think worst case scenario, no matter how uncomfortable it may be for you, because it's war out here. People are willing to do horrible things to children. I will continue to listen and probe every day to make sure my children grow up educated, empowered and safe.The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has a Child Abuse Resource Center. Abuse, Molestation and Incest are real issues that should be taken very seriously. If you suspect your own child or another child has been abused, please do not feel ashamed. Report it and help that child get help and support as soon as possible. More resources can be found at the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).

It is so horribly wrong, each day i check if it is still on, only to find out it is still on, i have to play the same freaking maps over and over again, wait ages for the MM CR4P just to be put in 4-10 ppl lobby and wait for others to join, then got steamrolled then say nah i'll wait maybe it will be better, get steamrolled again, ragequit. try to join another game... wait time is nonsense, close the game say to yourself i am not starting this ***** again untill they fix it.
Wake up following day with hopes that maybe someone had a change of heart and they removed this utterly bad MM system just to face another nightmare. good i have a digital version, i would totally burn the cd if i had a physical copy !
and i could just type for ages how i hate this new mm system, how i hate what you are doing to us, but i see anyways nobody cares so i just have to wait until some other company gets Star Wars and do something proper like KOTOR 1 / 2 . I even brought BF 2 from 2005 over the weekend just to have some fun in exchange to frustration that your product is delivering.
Just shut it off. "We are seeing games fuller, which is something we aimed to achieve."
Why is my in-game experience almost always antipodal to your data?

Star Wars Battlefront II EOR Matchmaking Test update. We are seeing games are fuller, which is something we aimed to achieve. We have plans for tweaks with the goal of reducing the time to Matchmake.
More to come, thanks for your feedback and patience.
What?! Are you seriously not listening to people? We don't want it!!!
It's very hard to tell if the devs are measuring this same way as the players. 'games are fuller' - does this mean being matched into a lobby that fills instantly OR being put into a lobby that waits for x players then fills up after a while (and looking to reduce that fill time in future updates)? My experience has consistently been the latter.
Secondly, no mention of matchmaking messing with the map rotation and making players play the same maps over and over.
They made some slight improvements today, but cmon, let this end. I want to be in prime condition right before Grievous. I cant believe that Ben COMPLETELY ignored the main question: How long is this test going to go on for? That's all we want to hear Jesus....
If they want to really test it out, then have the matchmaking go on for all maps out already.
I do not EVER plan to use matchmaking because I am among the best players of this game and matchmaking was made for players that go up against me because they LOSE every-time. I break the balance singlehandedly every game, I cannot be stopped
The greatest sin here is that the quality of matches have not improved noticeably. There doesn't seem to be any reason as to how the new teams are assembled hence all the dumping people into empty servers. It kind of seems that this solution is way overengineered when all we want and need is a team shuffle.
Serious question why does this game allow this happen? The unbearable lag is a huge issue but heroes getting stuck is something I am seeing more since the matchmaking tests started...I got to put you guys on front street because this is embarrassing
So...can we get refunds?? This game is broken and the devs refuse to listen to the community at all. My wife and I no longer play together thanks to the new system and actually getting a decent game now is really hard with all the lobby roulette garbage. I enjoyed the game much more when I searched for a game, started playing and had decent map rotation...you broke it and instead of fixing it you just make it worse every day. Turn it off.

what is his twitter account?
No kidding, is this a joke, feels like more of that genius intern/sidekick that thought fixing regular cargo by giving us JP cargo and strike is what we wanted. Oh, and I can totally understand since that’s what everyone asked for and all, riiiight. Please fire that guy because everyone I’ve okayed with hates the matchmaking and many aren’t playing as much.

This is the 2nd time I've sucked this guy's cock. It's big, fat, and uncut. I love every inch of it. And the skinny latin guy it's attached to is hot AF. I wish he would have panned the camera around once so you could see how out in the open we were. He feeds me a nice load...

(Ind. No. 841-14)
[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
vFelix Troche, appellant.
Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Felice B. Milani of counsel), for appellant.
Timothy Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Thomas C. Costello of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Barbara Kahn, J.), rendered March 10, 2015, convicting him of rape in the first degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree (three counts), sexual abuse in the first degree (two counts), assault in the second degree (two counts), unlawful imprisonment in the first degree, forcible touching (two counts), and assault in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant was tried for rape in the first degree and various related offenses committed against the pregnant complainant at a house frequented by drug abusers. The complainant testified at length and in detail regarding the crimes, and numerous witnesses confirmed the defendant's violent and assaultive behavior toward the complainant on the night of the offenses and described the complainant as distraught, bloodied, and disheveled immediately following her encounter with him. Moreover, the prosecution presented forensic and medical evidence establishing that, despite the defendant's denials to the police that he had sex with the complainant, his semen was found on the complainant's underwear, and the physical injuries the complainant suffered were consistent with her account of the incident. In marked contrast, the defendant's counsel argued at trial that the defendant and the complainant had consensual sex. He supported this defense with the testimony of a friend of the defendant who stated that he had heard from someone that the complainant "was offering herself to other men that night," a second witness who asserted that after the defendant left the scene, she saw a woman outside the house "asking people for, you know, to give blow jobs for a ride," and the defendant's fiancée, who claimed that on the night of the incident, she observed the complainant offering "sexual favors for crack," but that the defendant had no contact with the complainant that night. The fiancée further testified that after his arrest, the defendant repeatedly assured her over a period of several months that he did not have sex with the complainant and that the police did not have his DNA. Nevertheless, the fiancée testified that "[in] the back of my mind I thought different." She additionally testified that the defendant had been out with a friend earlier on the date of the incident, but she did not know and "[was] not exactly sure" where he had been. None of the defense witnesses provided any evidence or explanation regarding how the defendant's semen came to be on the complainant's underwear. The jury returned a verdict [*2]convicting the defendant of all of the charged offenses.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the County Court did not err in discharging a seated juror upon its finding, after a reasonable inquiry, that the juror would be unable to appear within two hours of the time set for trial to continue (see CPL 270.35[2][a]; People v Jeanty, 94 NY2d 507; People v Browne, 144 AD3d 834, 835; People v Walker, 141 AD3d 678, 678-679; People v Barksdale, 130 AD3d 746).
Similarly unavailing is the defendant's contention that the admission of evidence regarding his gang affiliation constituted reversible error. The defendant has failed to preserve for appellate review this challenge to the extent that he currently argues that the trial testimony on that matter exceeded the scope of the County Court's pretrial ruling (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v Brown, 139 AD3d 964, 965). In any event, while the admission of some of the evidence may have been improper, any such error was harmless, as there was overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, and there was no significant probability that the jury would have acquitted the defendant had it not been for the error (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 242; People v Borgella, 144 AD3d 1048; People v Hollman, 98 AD3d 584).
Moreover, the County Court did not err in permitting the complainant's mother to testify with respect to the complainant's physical appearance immediately after the incident (see People v Shepherd, 83 AD3d 1298, 1300; People v Terrence, 205 AD2d 301, 302). In addition, the mother properly testified as to the prompt outcry made by the complainant at that time, and her testimony on that point did not exceed the level of detail permissible under the prompt outcry hearsay exception (see People v Tucker, 117 AD3d 1090; People v Bernardez, 63 AD3d 1174, 1175; People v Salazar, 234 AD2d 322). Furthermore, while the testimony of the mother as to the complainant's conversation with certain police officers was improper (see generally People v McDaniel, 81 NY2d 10, 17), as was the testimony of another witness regarding his conversation with the complainant in the days following the incident (see People v Barnes, 140 AD3d 443, 444), these errors were harmless, as there was overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, and there was no significant probability that, absent the errors, the defendant would have been acquitted (see People v Caban, 126 AD3d 808, 809; People v Tucker, 117 AD3d at 1091). Additionally, the combined effect of all of the foregoing errors did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial. We note that the defendant waived any objection to the testimony of the mother regarding the complainant's statement to the effect that she was sexually assaulted by gang members, since it was the defense that elicited such testimony (see People v Honghirun, 133 AD3d 882, 883, affd 29 NY3d 284).
The defendant's claim that he was denied the effective assistance of trial counsel is without merit. The defendant failed to demonstrate that his trial counsel's decision not to call a certain witness who had already testified for the prosecution lacked a "legitimate," "strategic" basis (People v Rivera, 71 NY2d 705, 709; see People v King, 27 NY3d 147, 159). A review of the record as a whole establishes that the defendant was afforded meaningful representation (see People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708, 712; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137, 147). Furthermore, trial counsel's strategic decision in this regard did not deny the defendant his right to confront an adverse witness (see generally People v Gibson, 106 AD3d 834; People v Rivera, 98 AD3d 529, 529).
The defendant has failed to preserve for appellate review his challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v Hawkins, 11 NY3d 484). In any event, contrary to his contention, there was ample evidence corroborating the accomplice testimony here (see CPL 60.22[1]; People v Reome, 15 NY3d 188, 195) and, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see People v West, 105 AD3d 781). Moreover, in fulfilling our responsibility to conduct an independent review of the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15[5]; People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348), we nevertheless accord great deference to the jury's opportunity to view the witnesses, hear the testimony, and observe demeanor (see People v Mateo, 2 NY3d 383; People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Upon reviewing the record here, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suite, 90 AD2d 80).
MASTRO, J.P., MILLER and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
HALL, J., dissents, and votes to reverse the judgment, on the law, and order a new trial, with the following memorandum:
On June 1, 2012, the complainant visited a house in which Kenneth Neu rented a room in order to smoke crack cocaine with Neu. There were many other people in the house that day. According to the complainant, while she was at the house, the defendant engaged in several sex acts with her by forcible compulsion. After a jury trial, the defendant was convicted of one count of rape in the first degree, three counts of criminal sexual act in the first degree, and lesser charges.
I agree with my colleagues in the majority that the evidence was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt, and that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. However, I believe that a new trial is required based on certain evidentiary errors.
At the outset of the trial, the People sought to introduce evidence of the defendant's alleged gang affiliation, in order to explain: (1) the close relationship between the defendant and some of the People's cooperating witnesses and why those witnesses might have been reluctant to testify against him; (2) why people present in the house would allow the alleged crimes to take place and fail to report them to the police; and (3) why the complainant delayed reporting the alleged crimes to the police for approximately 36 hours. Over defense counsel's objection, the County Court granted the People's application, except that it stated that it would not permit evidence concerning "historical gang issues, hierarchy, etc., [but] merely [would permit evidence] that according to these cooperating witnesses [the defendant] was in . . . a superior position" in the gang. The People then proceeded to present extensive testimony from eight witnesses regarding the defendant's alleged gang affiliation, eliciting, among other things, that one of the witnesses became a member of the gang by performing a drive-by shooting. Only one of the eight witnesses testified that the defendant was in a superior position in the gang; that witness testified that the defendant had referred to himself as "third crown."
While the defendant did not preserve for appellate review his contention that the evidence presented exceeded the scope of the County Court's ruling, by opposing the application made by the People, he preserved his contention that the gang evidence should not have been admitted at all (see CPL 470.05[2]). I submit that under the circumstances of this case, the court erred in granting the People's application. The alleged crimes were not gang-motivated, and the limited probative value of the evidence was outweighed by the possible prejudice to the defendant (see People v Hollman, 98 AD3d 584, 585; People v Sellan, 143 AD2d 690, 691).
In addition, the County Court erroneously allowed testimony by Neu regarding a statement made to him by the complainant approximately a week after the incident, as the statement was insufficiently prompt to qualify under the prompt outcry exception to the hearsay rule and, moreover, the testimony went beyond the mere fact of the outcry (see People v McDaniel, 81 NY2d 10, 17; People v Rice, 75 NY2d 929, 932; People v Barnes, 140 AD3d 443, 444).
Unlike my colleagues in the majority, I cannot conclude that these errors were harmless. The prejudice resulting from the County Court's ruling on the admissibility of the gang evidence was substantial, as the People proceeded to present testimony from eight different witnesses regarding the defendant's alleged gang affiliation, including one witness who testified that he became a member of the gang by performing a drive-by shooting. Further, while semen found on the complainant's underclothing matched the defendant's DNA profile, the defendant asserted a defense of consent. This defense was based on the testimony of three witnesses who stated that, on the day of the alleged crimes, the complainant went around the house offering to perform sexual favors in exchange for crack cocaine or in exchange for a ride home. Although one of these [*3]witnesses, the defendant's fiancée, testified that she did not see the defendant have any contact with the complainant on the night of the alleged crimes, she further testified that she suspected that the defendant had had sex with the complainant earlier in the day, when she was not with the defendant. Moreover, the complainant admitted that she was high on crack cocaine on the date of the alleged crimes. Under these and all of the other circumstances of the case, I submit that the proof of the defendant's guilt was not overwhelming, and even if it were, there is a significant probability that the verdict would have been different if it had not been for the errors (see People v McDaniel, 81 NY2d at 20; People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 241-242).
Accordingly, I vote to reverse and order a new trial.

–
It's no secret that Bashar al-Assad keeps a ruthless check on dissidents in Syria, but his reach apparently extends to the US. The feds yesterday arrested a naturalized US citizen in Leesburg, Va., who allegedly spied on Syrian protesters in this country and sent along the information to Assad's intelligence agency, reports Leesburg Today. Mohamad Anas Haitham Soueid, 47, is accused of making video and audio recording of protesters and providing names and contact information.
"Our national security is threatened when foreign governments use unregistered agents in an attempt to influence and intimidate those who live here lawfully," said an FBI official. "Their alleged acts desecrate the values cherished in our fair and open society." Soueid, who was born in Syria, reportedly met with Assad himself in June during a trip to his native land, notes CNN. Among the charges: conspiring to act and acting as an agent of the Syrian government in the US without notifying the attorney general as required by law. | {

How to Dress to Attract Women
May 12, 2012
Have you ever wondered why women are so attracted to gay men? Among all of their qualities, gay men most often get complimented on their impeccable sense of fashion that leaves women weak at the knees.
Women like a guy who can dress well, and that’s no secret. Knowing what clothes and accessories fit together display two key things about you – first that you are creative and interesting and second that you are confident enough to pull off your outfits. Knowing how to look your best will score you major brownie points with your girl and is something every guy should know. Here are a few tips to attract women with what you wear.
Find your look
Most well-dressed people you’ll see find a style that is unique to them and stick to it for the most part. This gives them a sense of identity through what they wear and also shows a lot about their personality.
If you’re going to dress to impress, make sure to add something that is “you” to your look. What makes you feel attractive and confident? Is it your fedora hat? Your button down shirt with skin-tight jeans? Finding what makes you tick from a fashion perspective will go a long way to find the look that sets you apart.
Use good common sense
When developing a look that attracts women, go with your gut feeling on what should be used and what shouldn’t be. Most women don’t want to see your butt cheeks hanging out of your pants nor do they enjoy running their fingers through beard hair as long as your legs. Find the happy medium between your desired look and what you know is just not right.
Understand your target woman
Every woman is different, and the way you dress will likely have an effect on the type of woman you attract. Therefore, spend some time thinking about who that is for you. Are you interested in the carpe diem adrenaline junky? Or do you lean more towards the quiet type who enjoys a walk in the park and classical music? Often times it’s not that straightforward, but understanding the type of woman you like will help you dress appropriately.
Dress confidently
When attracting the ladies, every outfit should come with an attitude to back it up. We’re not talking here about being a major douche to turn heads, but rather a great outfit should have a confident person behind it to wear it proudly.
No matter what look you intend to go for, displaying confidence will go a long way to make your style work. Keep your chin up and shoulders back as you walk around and feel proud to be yourself. If you pull it off right you could have a few dates lined up in the next week. | {

Fibrillation
Fibrillation is the rapid, irregular, and unsynchronized contraction of muscle fibers. An important occurrence is with regard to the heart.
Cardiology
There are two major classes of cardiac fibrillation: atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of atria. It can be a chronic condition, usually treated with anticoagulation and sometimes with conversion to normal sinus rhythm. In this condition the normal electrical pulses coming from the sinoatrial node are overwhelmed by disorganized electrical impulses usually originating in the roots of the pulmonary veins, leading to irregular conduction of impulses to the ventricles which generate the heartbeat.
Ventricular fibrillation is an irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of ventricles. It is a common cause of cardiac arrest and is usually fatal if not reversed by defibrillation.
Fibrillation may sometimes be used after heart surgery to stop the heart from beating while any minor leaks are stitched up.
Musculoskeletal
Fibrillation also occurs with individual skeletal muscle fibers. This happens when muscle fibers lose contact with their innervating axon producing a spontaneous action potential, "fibrillation potential" that results in the muscle fiber's contraction. These contractions are not visible under the skin and are detectable through needle electromyography (EMG) and ultrasound. Fibrillations can occur in healthy individuals. If the fibrillations have irregular potentials then they don't have pathological significance. In other cases they are a major symptom in acute and severe peripheral nerve disorders, in myopathies in which muscle fibers are split or inflamed, and in lower motor neuron lesions.
They contrast with fasciculations that are visible spontaneous contractions involving small groups of muscle fibers. Fasciculations can be seen in lower motor neuron lesions as well, but they also do not necessarily denote pathology.
Name
The word fibrillation () is related to the word fibril in the sense of muscle fibrils, the proteins that make up each muscle fiber (muscle cell).

Q:
remove name from dynamically created hidden input
I have a div that is being duplicated dynamically. After duping it, I need to remove the name from the hidden input only, but can't seem to be able to select it only. The majority of the file is prototype, but I have jQuery at my disposal (jq).
I have managed to get the name to disappear, but it clears them all out, I only want it cleared on the duplicated div.
Help appreciated.
function dupField(fieldName,container,dupediv){
var container = $(container);
var dupedDiv = $(dupediv).cloneNode(true);
var totalins=jq("#MI_name > div").size();
newNode=document.createElement('div');
newNode.innerHTML=dupedDiv.innerHTML;
newNode.setAttribute('id',dupediv+totalins);
newNode.setAttribute('class','MI_inz');
var inputs_txt = newNode.getElementsByTagName('input');
var x = jq('#MI_label').val();
for(j=0;j<inputs_txt.length;j++){//change text field names
var nameNow = inputs_txt[j].name;
var newName = nameNow+totalins;
inputs_txt[j].name=newName;
inputs_txt[j].value='';
}
container.appendChild(newNode);
var nn=jq('newNode:hidden');//jQuery - this selects all the hidden's in the form-no good-only want to change hidden input in newNode
var hid=jq(nn).attr('name','');
}
It's the part after appendChild.
some of the other things I've tried:
var nn=jq('newNode:input(:hidden)');
-
var nn=jq(newNode).attr('id');
jq(nn+':hidden').attr('name','');
etc...
I'm sure it's simple, but I can't get it...
A:
For an input where attribute type equals hidden:
jq(newNode).find('input[type=hidden]');

The 20th anniversary of the Denver Principles is upon us, and I had hoped to celebrate it here. Have you heard of the Denver Principles? They are worth some study. They marked the official birth of the PWA self-empowerment movement and AIDS activism. Such a glamorous pedigree has given license to myths, but in fact the origins were grass-roots messy, not to mention gay raunchy. In retrospect, they were also miraculous.
In June 1983, 11 gay men from San Francisco and New York City were invited to attend a national conference of gay doctors in Denver. All 11 had the mysterious new disease. Many were in their 20s. Some had the blue Kaposi’s stigmata and the concentration-camp bodies that turned even medical professionals phobic. They also had the desperate courage—and, yes, rage—of prisoners of war facing a firing squad.
In a piece called “The Way We War” (POZ, February 1997), Richard Berkowitz, the group’s sole survivor, recalled how fraught (and funny) their first meeting was: “The two cadres immediately clashed.…The men from San Francisco kept hugging and holding one another—a far cry from our [New York] tendency to complain, yell and curse. But our differences went deeper than style. We argued over treatment approaches, …causes [of the disease] and, most fiercely, the connection between promiscuity [and AIDS] (a theory advocated by New York but denounced as homophobic by San Francisco). One night at dinner, Michael Callen suddenly asked, ‘Who knows how to take two dicks at once?’…a trick question intended to reveal what, other than AIDS, the 11 of us had in common:We were all sluts,” Berkowitz concludes. “By accepting the role of promiscuity…, as personally painful and politically provocative as it was, …we could lead the way in protecting the gay community by promoting safer sex. For 11 men made to feel like lepers while aching more than ever for affection, this was a revelation.” Owning up (and owning their truth), they were inspired to draft a genuine declaration of independence, seize the conference stage, unfurl a “Fighting for Our Lives” banner and raise a defiant voice.
“We condemn attempts to label us as victims, a term that implies defeat, and we are only occasionally patients, a term that implies passivity, helplessness and dependence on the care of others,” the statement began. “We are people with AIDS.” The POWs had turned themselves into PWAs.
They made demands: “Support us in our struggle against those who would fire us from our jobs, evict us from our homes, refuse to touch us or separate us from our loved ones, our community or our peers, since available evidence does not support the view that AIDS can be spread by casual, social contact.”
They claimed rights: “To as full and satisfying sexual and emotional lives as anyone else. To quality medical treatment…privacy, confidentiality of medical records and human respect. To die and to LIVE in dignity.”
They assumed responsibilities:“To choose [our] own representatives, to deal with the media [and our] own agenda…. To be involved at every level of decision-making…on the boards of directors of provider organizations…. To substitute low-risk sexual behaviors for [dangerous ones]…and to inform [our] potential sexual partners of [our] health status.” (For the complete Denver Principles, click on www.poz.com/nd/.)
The words moved people, and more important, they got people moving. “And the rest is history,” it is tempting to add. In fact, last January, 130 Ugandan women with HIV presented the Kampala Declaration at a conference on mother-to-child transmission, stating, “We are the experts in our communities.” While this is only the most recent of many instances of PWA self-empowerment’s wildfire spread, it would be a betrayal of the blood, sweat, tears (and, no doubt, other body fluids) of the 11 founding fathers to celebrate the Denver Principles as a 20-year achievement. The reason barely needs stating: Conditions worldwide for PWAs are worse today than they were in 1983. Science has come far, the PWA movement even further, but politics is still business as usual.
Let’s own up: The weird disease that sprung up in the Castro hills and on tiny Christopher Street now girds the globe in a genocidal embrace. Your own suffering and losses have been multiplied by many millions. Still, our institutions and corporations (does that mean us?) deem saving entire communities—even, God forgive us, actual continents—not worth the cost. Then consider this: The world’s only superpower has other wars on its agenda. So the Denver Principles remain a dream deferred. | {

We at Collider are happy to bring you an exclusive look behind the scenes of Sam Mendes’ Oscar-winning World War I thriller 1917. This clip comes from the home video release of the film, which is currently available on Digital HD and was released on Blu-ray and DVD today!
In this bonus features clip, Mendes and his team talk about building the extensive trenches set for the movie, which was complicated by the fact that the film all played out as if it was one single shot. Which meant that they couldn’t cut and move to different areas, but instead built as much of the trenches in a single go as possible. They constructed a full mile of trenches when all was said and done, to replicate the experience of soldiers who spent months near No Man’s Land. The trenches, of course, play a major role in the opening scene of the film, as we follow two soldiers to receive orders and then make their way out of the trenches to venture into No Man’s Land.
1917 is a truly stunning cinematic achievement, and it came away with three Oscar wins including Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Mixing. You’d be a fool for not giving this one a go, so have at it.
Check out our exclusive 1917 clip below. The film is now available to own on Digital HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. | {

Check out the above ad. Do you see it?
Apparently, it’s racist and singles out CNN’s April D. Ryan for attack, according to Alexis Simendinger and Ryan herself.
That is, of course, farcical, as the ad barely shows her, amongst a spread of mostly white reporters.
Oh, and proving the ad’s point?

AS the rancid truth about Britain’s puppet-masters continues to unravel, a country once sedated by telly and shiny things has become almost vaguely interested.
With planes grounded at Heathrow as the swirling media shit-storm blackens UK skies, last night’s round of Murdoch-centric revelations included the insertion of recording devices into Gordon Brown’s favourite labrador and even alleged attempts to exchange money with police on the misguided basis that they might know what’s going on crimewise.
Formerly-dopey Britons have reacted with very moderate anger after discovering that they were being manipulated by a cabal of nicotine-stained tentacled freaks and smooth-palmed sleazebags who had turned the country into a paranoid dystopia like something out of an Alan Moore comic, but weirder.
Father-of-two Tom Logan, from Swindon, said: “I opened my newspaper this morning and there’s yet more of Murdoch’s dreadful misdeeds. Terrible. Taking up a whole page where there’s usually a picture of a woman’s arse.
“When I’m eating my Oatibix I want to see Cameron Diaz in a bikini bending over a sandcastle, not an elderly Australian who looks like a golem made of curdled milk.
“We’ve got to reclaim the media’s allocated boob-and-arse space somehow, even if it means taking a vague moral stance on something.”
Marketing manager Emma Bradford said: “There’s one single massive question to which we as a people must demand an answer – is this going to break the telly?
“Because if the glass shit-teat stops working, I’m on for some serious destruction of property.”
36-year-old Stephen Malley said: “It seems like there’s corruption at every level of our society. This isn’t what I voted for.
“Or at least it wouldn’t have been had I voted, which I didn’t. But I definitely will next time, because by the time that rolls around you’ll be able to do it on the telly.”
He added: “I like telly.”
Meanwhile, Murdoch was pictured yesterday in his PE kit leaving a place with someone described repeatedly as his ‘blonde personal trainer’.
Media analyst Nikki Hollis said: “If she was described as ‘brown-haired’ then the level of detail would simply be mystifying. However in newspaper language it’s well established that the word ‘blonde’ is a clever euphemism for ‘sex person’.
“In this example the implication is repulsive on two levels.” | {

Blaschkolinear dermatoses--an overview of interesting patterned dermatological disorders.
A large number of congenital/nevoid and acquired skin diseases on the human skin and mucosae assume a characteristic morphological pattern following the Blaschko lines. This pattern recognition is important for dermatologists so as to have an idea about the etiopathogenesis as well as to categorize various such disorders. This article is an attempt to overview and classify a variety of blaschkoid disorders described so far in the literature. | {

"And my friends?" "Released." "Left to live freely." "And my God?" "A better God at your side." "And me?" "You will be who you are." "End the torment, Vanessa." "Kiss me."

LONDON (Reuters) - Police investigating threats made against a British lawmaker have arrested a man in the latest case of alleged abuse targeted at politicians as Britain prepares to leave the European Union.
A 59-year-old was detained in prominent pro-European Labour opposition politician Yvette Cooper’s constituency in northern England on Friday over the alleged threats, police said.
“As a result of information received in relation to alleged threats against a serving MP, officers arrested a 59-year-old Leeds man in Castleford on Friday,” West Yorkshire Police said, adding that the man had been bailed. There were no details about the nature of the threat.
The BBC reported that it was Cooper herself who had been threatened. Police declined to name the victim, and her office was not immediately available for comment.
Cooper gave her name to a proposal that would have given more power to parliament - as opposed to government - in the Brexit process. It had provisions to delay Brexit by 9 months if no deal were agreed ahead of the current exit date of March 29. Lawmakers rejected the Cooper amendment in a vote a week ago.
Politicians have increasingly been targets of online and verbal abuse as Brexit approaches and emotions run high, with Prime Minister Theresa May yet to clinch a deal that is acceptable to both Brussels and British lawmakers.
A video of a group of men calling pro-EU Conservative lawmaker Anna Soubry a fascist and chanting “scum” as she walked near parliament in Westminster last month prompted calls for police to do more to protect politicians, and a man was later arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.
Cooper had also contacted police during the referendum campaign in 2016 after a Twitter user threatened to kill her children.
That came shortly after fellow Labour lawmaker Jo Cox, who represented a neighboring constituency to Cooper, was killed in a frenzied street attack a week before the vote by a man obsessed with Nazis and extreme right-wing ideology. | {

My wife and I never talked about it. I'm really not sure how it became a thing with us either. It's possible she saw porn on my computer. I think years ago she saw some printed out stories and read them.
She never acted on them, nor talked to me about what was in them, but if she read them, she knew what I was reading and jerking off to.
While I don't think that was the sole reason we went down this road, I believe it planted a seed in her mind that percolated over the years. I'm also pretty certain that she already had a latent desire herself and more and more comments and small actions showed that it was becoming something she was having trouble hiding.
Cuckolding me. Cuckolding me with a black man. That's the unspoken thing between us. I jerk off to that kind of porn.
She has always had a thing for black men. Small comments over knowing someone for 30 plus years; she has never openly commented that a white guy is good looking for example. She has commented many times on black men and there have been times where she has disappeared to dance with black men when having too much to drink. There have been other times as well where it looked to me that she was openly teasing me with the possibility of going through with, but at the same time, making it just innocent enough that she wasn't doing anything out of order at all. But when you add up the number of times and the number comments and the increasing frequency of those times, it was becoming apparent to me that she was only a short step away from actually going through with it.
For my part, I didn't even need porn any more. A couple pictures of her photo-shopped onto a similar looking woman with a black man and a couple odd shots we have with her posing with a couple black men starts me off. Then all I have to do is think about her comments and actions and go from there.
I am obsessed with it. It seems she is as well. I knew all that was needed was time and opportunity. We got both in Jamaica.
A long needed vacation to a very mellow island. We avoided the big resorts so we could hang with the locals and selected a small but popular hotel out of the way. Very clean, safe and respectable, there was always a mix of guests, locals and ex-patriots from everywhere. In short the place was just what we needed. People openly smoking weed pretty much everywhere and all the time, the place had a relaxed atmosphere and a very Jamaican feel.
It took a couple days to mellow out; the weed helping a lot on that account and we spent the first few days lounging on the beach. Nothing out of the ordinary, except my wife Denise did take a lot of pictures of the locals. She kept commenting that she needed a shot of a Rasta to bring home.
If you don't know, in this particular place in Jamaica, there is quite a bit of sexual tourism. While white men get hooked up with local women, the more prevalent and less predatory version are middle aged white women taking in a local, called rent-a rasta for their stay. They live with them and pay for everything while there and the renta cock just fucks them. Simple arrangement.
My wife knew about that because I made a point of telling her about it before we left. I couldn't resist prodding her along. For her part, she told her friends about it and even asked me to tell people about it when we were together. It was now on her mind.
Anyway, now for the obligatory description of ourselves. We are in our early 40's. We married right out of college and started our family right away. Denise is a beautiful brunette mom with just a little paunch, but a perfect ass and nice medium sized still firm but not rock solid tits. She is a woman. She has hair between her legs like a woman should. It's not an out of control jungle, or a short landing strip, but a thick bush trimmed to be contained by a bathing suit. She is drop dead sexy to me and while she thinks she is getting old – no one else thinks so. In those rare times she expresses her inner needs, she has hinted about being taken and fucked. Now with the kids out of the house – we have time to get away alone, something we haven't done for years. Like I said; time and opportunity.
Anyway, after a few days, we were totally chilled. We hadn't had sex yet. Actually, we hadn't had sex for a long time. Things just kept getting in the way and the couple times she came to me for it unfortunately coincided with my having just jerked off so I pretty much couldn't do it for her. Frustrated, she actually went off to a guest room mumbling about how she needed to get fucked. I lurked outside the door and was positive I could hear soft moans while she did herself. I wish I could have watched that.
This hotel had a big party on Saturday nights. It was actually pretty well known for it. They had live music, in this case a reggae band followed by an African drumming demonstration.
It was a typical Jamaican night – 75 degrees and humid. Even with the ceiling fans cranked up in the outdoor venue, it was sultry to say the least.
We got there early and got a table right in front. Being a musician myself, I was eager to watch the show. Turns out there were a few shows that night.
The band came on and was very good. Of course the black rasta lead had my wife's complete attention. Her rapt stare accompanied by her standard comment about a black man of "He's awesome" started me wondering how far tonight would go. Would this finally happen or would she stop short as usual.
The African Drummers were next and to say they were fabulous would be an understatement. All black men, rastas all, they wore a sort of short pajama bottom and nothing else. Accompanied by two women dancers also very scantily clad the combined effect was nothing short of primal. The thumping drums and frenzied dancing of the women was like an aphrodisiac. Denise was captivated. Yet there was one of the men that caught her eye. Whenever one of the drummers had a lead part – they would step forward. That's when the camera starting taking video and many still shots. I thought I could actually see her squirming in her seat.
It was very loud, but I was certain that she said to me "He's the one."
I asked her to repeat herself, but she remained silent, but fixated on him. I had my hand on her back, gently caressing her, but also applying gentle pressure hoping to give her my physical permission by pushing her towards him.
For her part, her stare never left him. I think she was trying to get his attention, knowing that if she looked away, he might miss her intent.
At one point she commented that there wasn't anyone in the crowd these guys would be interested in (it was a very middle aged crowd). While continuing my permissive caresses I whispered to her that she was totally hot enough for any of these guys. I don't know what more I could have done short of telling her to fuck him to help this along.
The show actually was quite long. These guys were working hard and their flawless black skin glistened with a sheen of perspiration. It was like they were working towards a massive group orgasm.
I was just sitting there watching this very erotic display, wishing my wife would understand that I would be happy to let her have this experience. I would nuzzle and kiss her neck, all the while caressing her back, letting my hand drift lower towards her soft and fabulous behind. Maybe unconsciously, I was hoping to warm her up, or help in her arousal so that she would either be unable to resist mating with this extremely virile black man or that she would simply take the lead and let him know she could be his tonight. No matter what, I was hard as a rock. It was almost painful I was so hard.
She finally noticed me adjusting my confined erection. She slowly moved her hand into my lap to confirm my excitement then turned her head away to search my face for the answers she needed. I just stared at the object of her desire a moment; feeling her eyes upon me, just long enough too make sure she could see what I was looking at. Then before she would look away, I turned to look into her beautiful eyes and smiled at her as she held my hard penis.
No words were needed. She wanted him and I wanted her to have him.
We both returned our attention to him. Our expressions must have changed, or maybe he watched our brief silent exchange, but he knew as well.
For his next solo, he moved directly in front of us to play. He danced and ground his hips just feet in front of her and her gaze went up and down his body to his face, but stayed for an extended time on his crotch, and for good reason. Apparently the only thing he was wearing was the thin shin length bottoms and bouncing against the cloth – down by his left knee!! – was the head of his cock.
Denise realizing what he had actually gasped. My mouth just hung open. Wow – I guess he really IS the one!
For the balance of the show, he made frequent eye contact with my wife and often with me as well. At first I wasn't sure why, until I realize that he knew I was her husband and he was looking to see what my reaction was. She was not the first white wife that came to the island looking to fuck a black man. I wasn't the first cuckold husband that was here to watch either. He just had to determine if I was as OK with this as my obviously aroused wife was.
Once I realized that he needed a signal, I stroked her shoulder and smiled at him, giving only the slightest now.
My heart was racing and I was physically shaking. This was happening. This wasn't a fantasy. This was reality. It could still go wrong and not happen, but we had never gone this far down the road before. We had the time and opportunity. Unless something changed, this would happen and soon.
Finally the show ended. I saw a lot of couples get up and leave sure that they would be adjourning to their rooms to burn off some of the sexual passion generated by the night.
The emcee thanked the audience and the groups and told the crowd that the players would remain if anyone wanted to talk with them.
Denise looked at me for one last confirmation of my permission to proceed. I kissed her cheek gently and softly pushed her on her back to get out of her chair.
She stood up still looking at me. My hand lowered to her round and perfect ass. I caressed her bottom while she smiled at me somewhat nervously. Once again, I pushed at her bottom and turning her head somewhat reluctantly, she started off in the direction of the band, occasionally looking back over her shoulder at me to see if I was following, maybe to see if I would change my mind. She would later tell me that she was still partly unbelieving that I had in fact given her permission to stray from our vows and that is why she kept looking back – she had to be sure that it would be alright to cuckold her husband, and in a very public way. It was a small establishment and the employees and other guest would almost certainly know that my wife would be fucking this native man.
Just an aside on this topic – this happens pretty frequently in Jamaica. In this part of the island, and where we were staying so closely integrated with the locals, no one would judge what we were doing. The locals and the guests were fine with this as they are fine with many things that happen down there. Sex between people is as natural as breathing so if anything – people were probably happy that we all would be having fun that night.
I watched my wife saunter away from me – a great view by the way. Her ass swaying underneath her light summer dress, I knew that she only had her panties and bra on beneath.
She walked over to where the musicians and dancer were talking with several guests. She didn't go directly to him, rather stood on the periphery for several moments. She wanted to see if he would notice her. She was afraid that he wouldn't be interested in this middle aged with mom so she was hesitant.
She needn't have been concerned because she was there a short few moments when he noticed her and with a broad smile came right to her.
Of course I couldn't hear the conversation, but they were talking and he was smiling. After a bit, he looked over her shoulder at me then back to her. When she looked back over her shoulder at me, I knew that the conversation had turned to what I would be about in all this. My previous non-verbal permission had obviously just been given verbally by my wife. Later on, she told me that he had asked, what about me and her response was that it was my idea and I would be fine with whatever happened. Of course that was true, but was amazed she would make that leap without ever having talked about this.
The two of them peeled off from the crowd and went to the bar for a few drinks. I was only a few tables away from them. Denise was now sitting on a bar stool with her side to me. He was facing her and had his hand on her bare thigh as they talked as her dress had hiked up as she sat.
They were in deep conversation and her was very close to her, now letting his hands roam all over her. I sat and watched with my cock as hard as could be. It wasn't long before some of the employees noticed what was happening. They could see me just sitting there watching my wife with this man and they all knew that another white woman was going to be black fucked tonight. Soon some of the other guests picked upon what was happening as well as they looked from me to my wife and her stud. Most smiled at me knowingly, while a few took off to probably fuck as well.
Denise had a few more drinks to bolster her resolve and simply nodded when he whispered into her ear. He made the move – let's go to your room; her permission in a simple nod. She stood and turned as he had his hand around her waist. They started to walk down the path to our room when she quizzically looked back at me.
The look was, "Are you coming?"
When I got to me feet she had her answer and the look changed to a sly smile. Turning away, they walked down the path to a new future.
Standing there, hesitating for only a moment, I blushed when I realized that people looking at me knew I was going to follow the interracial couple in front of me to witness my own cuckolding. But of more immediate embarrassment was my excitement shown by my obvious erection. Red faced, embarrassed but unbelievably aroused I walked quickly but not with real haste to follow.
Turning down the path, I slowed as they were walking much slower, his hand cupping her ass now as she tucked into his arm. I thought they were just enjoying the moment, but then realize that it was I that had the key to the room.
They were waiting for me. I had to be an active participant. Opening the door was not just a metaphor for allowing him access to my wife, it was participation. Another in a series of decisions and points that could have ended the night without him in our bed; without him inside my wife.
Realizing what they needed from me, I walked up next to them, actually said excuse me, and went up to the room. I unlocked the door, turned on the lights and waited at the door for the couple. She went in first, smiling as she looked me directly in the eyes as she passed. He came in next and did the same but with a "I'm gonna fuck your wife look on his face." It wasn't mean, just kind of matter of fact. He wasn't judging. He was happy to oblige us. He wanted it. She wanted it and he knew I wanted it as well. Win, win, win situation. If I got off on the humiliation of it that was fine with him. He was just going to get laid.
Once in the room, they continued as if I wasn't there. Talking and laughing, Denise did ask me to open a bottle of wine. She offered some weed and they both smoked. They were nice enough to hand me some as well when I offered the wine. She put on some music – slow reggae and they danced closely for a bit.
Things sort of stayed like this for a moment and I realized that Denise was having either second thoughts or was no longer sure she could do this. It had been a very long time since another man had even seen her naked let alone had put their cock inside her body. She was suddenly self-conscious about her age and body.
When her pulled her close and grabbed her ass with both hands and pressed his lips to hers, she pushed away saying, "I'm not sure I can do this. I'm too old for you. You can't really be interested in an old woman like me."
He laughed. Not a mean or sinister laugh, but one of knowing she was wrong.
He went on to explain that she was truly a beautiful woman and that her age had only made her more desirable and that he would rather be with her than the stupid little 20 some-things running around here mostly naked and drunk on spring break. He continued that she was lucky that her husband loved he so much he would give her this experience out of love and respect.
We both saw her hesitation so he backed he up to a chair and offered her to sit. Releasing her hands, he backed away, put his hands into his waste band and dropped his pants to the floor. I was behind him and saw only the reaction on her face to what he had until I looked under his ass and between his legs to see a massive pair of testicles and the end of his fat black cock just about his knees.
Before we could say a thing, he simply asked, "Does this look like a man that is not interested in you?"
This was the final decision point and I knew looking at her what the choice was. He was a beautiful specimen. His cock was massive and pulsing in front of her. All she had to do was reach out and touch it to show she would make love with him.
Slowly, hypnotized by the sight before her, almost like it wasn't her at all, she saw her hand reach out and encircle that black meat hanging so close. It was so hot to the touch. Hard and engorged with blood, ready to penetrate deeply inside her, it was soft to the touch. And it pulsed. She could smell him. He was damp and sweaty from his performance. He was musky. She then realized she could smell herself. She was damp. Her panties were sticky and she squirmed on the chair, the need for her puffy womanhood to be touched. Her body had decided long before her mind that she would let herself be taken. Taken in front of her husband by this incredible black male.
A moment frozen in time, she held him, staring at it. He reached out and stroked her hair in a gentle almost loving manner to get her attention; to break her out of her gaze on his manhood.
She looked up at him, still holding it in her hands. He put his hands on but upper arms to gently guide her to her feet.
She stood still holding him and then he pulled the neck of her dress over her shoulders letting the thin garment fall to the ground leaving her standing before him in only her panties and bra. Her face flushed with embarrassment at being stripped by this man and standing in front of him, vulnerable and more revealed than she had been to any man since before marrying.
She was trembling with excitement and fear, though he was gentle and kind. He simply said, ""You are beautiful Denise." And then he unclasped her bra and it too fell to the floor to lay with her discarded dress.
Her breasts heaving with each breath, her nipples hardened with the flush of blood to her sex organs. Her body was preparing to be mated.
He reached for her waistband to remove the last barrier between them when she spoke in a wavering voice.
"Him too." He must undress too."
He turned to the side and now I had a full view of him and the frontal view of my wife, shaking with nervous excitement of the forbidden. I thought I could see a small damp spot between her legs and shared the scent of both participants. It was a raw animal smell saying mounting and mating will be happening.
Looking from his smiling and encouraging face to my wife's nervous smile I stood facing them. She looked at me her face communicating her desire to share this with her husband. If she would be stripped bare both literally and figuratively, then so I had to as well. I was being stripped bare watching this man with my wife. Now I had to join them in nakedness surrendering my last vestige of control.

Second-generation dimwit and acclaimed hair gel consumer Donald Trump Jr. bolted from an appearance at a California college after he was heckled by MAGA-maniacs who were upset by his refusal to answer questions.
Dotard Trump Jr., scheduled a Sunday appearance at the University of California, Los Angeles to promote his new book, ironically titled: Triggered: How The Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us. Although no one on the left has ever donated a single fuck to silence the Rob Kardashian of the Trump clan, the entire premise of what one could safely assume is the first white supremacist pop-up book was upended when Donny informed the crowd of 450 that he was not mentally equipped to take questions, according to the Guardian.
Sponsored by Turning Point USA—the group that gave us Candace Owens and Kanye’s “ Bl exit” t-shirts— the book signing was scheduled for two hours but only lasted 20 minutes after a raucous crowd turned on the Donny and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle when attendees learned the Fredo Corleone of Trumps wouldn’t take audience questions due to “time constraints.” Apparently inspired by Trump rallies, instead of chanting “Send him back” or Lock him up,” around 450 people decided to give Joffrey Lannister Trump a taste of his daddy’s medicine.
The Guardian reports:
At first, Trump and Guilfoyle tried to ignore the discontent, which originated with a fringe group of America Firsters who believe the Trump administration has been taken captive by a cabal of internationalists, free-traders, and apologists for mass immigration. When the shouting would not subside, Trump Jr tried— and failed— to argue that taking questions from the floor risked creating soundbites that leftwing social media posters would abuse and distort. Nobody was buying that. In minutes, the entire argument put forward by the president’s son – that he was willing to engage in dialogue but that it was the left that refused to tolerate free speech – crumbled. “I’m willing to listen…” Trump began. “Q and A! Q and A!” the audience yelled back.
Guilfoyle unironically told the hecklers that they weren’t making their “parents proud by being rude and disruptive and discourteous,” apparently unaware that the crowd had all earned their undergraduate degrees in Rude and Disruptive Studies at Donald Trump University.
So they ran.
Footage of Donny’s cowardly exit quickly spread on social media:
A small group of protesters also demonstrated outside of the event, according to the L.A. Times. Some attendees called Donald Trump Jr.’s white fragility-induced ghost move an “absolute disaster” while others have speculated that he was showing off his snowflake sprinting ability in hopes to secure a spot on the 2020 Olympic Fuckboy team.
Maybe it was bone spurs.
“I don’t understand it at all,” said Amanda Seales. “Even if they didn’t want me there, I would have stayed.”
“Running scared might just be their family’s thing,” added Kurdish forces. | {

"J'ai toujours dit que le vin américain était meilleur que le vin français !", a aussi écrit le président américain, annonçant "une action décisive" pour bientôt.
Il ne compte pas se laisser faire. Le président américain Donald Trump a dénoncé ce vendredi sur Twitter la "stupidité" d'Emmanuel Macron, alors que la France a mis en place une taxe dite Gafa, acronyme désignant les géants du numérique Google, Amazon, Facebook et Apple.
LIRE AUSSI >> Taxe Gafa : pourquoi la France fait cavalier seul
"La France vient d'imposer une taxe numérique à nos grandes entreprises technologiques américaines. Si quelqu'un les taxe, cela devrait être leur pays d'origine, les États-Unis. Nous annoncerons sous peu une action décisive en réponse à la stupidité de Macron", a ainsi tweeté Donald Trump.
[Offre limitée] Spécial rentrée. 1€ par mois
Je m'abonne
La taxe Gafa crée une imposition des grandes entreprises du secteur non pas sur le bénéfice, souvent consolidé dans des pays à très faible fiscalité comme l'Irlande, mais sur le chiffre d'affaires, en attendant une harmonisation des règles au niveau de l'OCDE.
Une enquête américaine lancée contre la taxe Gafa
"J'ai toujours préféré les vins américains aux vins français même si je ne bois pas de vin. J'aime leur aspect. Les vins américains sont super", a également déclaré vendredi le milliardaire républicain depuis le Bureau ovale.
Le principal conseiller économique de la Maison Blanche, Larry Kudlow, avait estimé plus tôt vendredi que la taxe française était "une très, très grosse erreur". "Nous ne sommes pas contents que la France soit allée de l'avant avec cette sorte d'impôt sur le numérique", avait-il déclaré, ajoutant que des auditions auraient lieu en août dans le cadre de l'enquête lancée par le Représentant au Commerce (USTR) contre cette initiative française.
Des projets de taxation du numérique sont à l'étude dans d'autres pays européens, comme en Italie, en Espagne, en Autriche ou encore au Royaume-Uni.
Emmanuel Macron et Donald Trump se sont appelés
La Maison Blanche a annoncé dans la soirée que les présidents français et américain s'étaient parlé par téléphone pendant la journée, ajoutant qu'ils avaient évoqué la taxe française sur les géants du numérique, mais sans préciser si les vins français étaient au menu des discussions entre les deux dirigeants.
L'Élysée a précisé samedi qu'Emmanuel Macron avait insisté, au cours de cet entretien, sur le fait que la taxation des Gafa était "un sujet d'intérêt commun" et pas seulement français, "sur lequel il faut continuer d'agir en vue d'obtenir un large accord international".
Le sommet du G7, à Biarritz (sud-est de la France) du 24 au 26 août, sera "une occasion importante d'avancer" sur cette question, a ajouté la présidence, en précisant que l'entretien avait également porté sur l'Iran.
Un peu plus tôt, le ministre de l'Economie Bruno Le Maire avait affirmé que "la France mettra[it]oeuvre ses décisions nationales". | {

Written By Brian Beutler
Before the full scope of his disclosures became clear on Wednesday, the first thing we learned about Steve Bannon’s extended dishing to author Michael Wolff was his opinion that the Trump campaign’s collaboration with Moscow was real, “treasonous,” and likely to land the president’s family in serious legal trouble.
“Even if you thought [meeting with Russian spies in Trump Tower] was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately,” Bannon said, adding that Trump and his senior advisers may have sealed their own fates. “Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr., and Jared Kushner…. It goes through Deutsche Bank and all the Kushner shit. The Kushner shit is greasy.”
The media’s interest in Bannon’s comments quickly shifted to President Trump’s decision to publicly excommunicate his former adviser, and eventually to Trump’s lame legal efforts to silence Wolff. But in between, something very revealing happened.
Confronted with the assessment of Trump’s former campaign chairman that the Russia investigation is serious and likely to uncover yet more crimes, the Republican establishment—which is generally thought of as a more staid and institutionalist force than the nihilistic Breitbart impresario—scolded Bannon for not feeding Trump’s most authoritarian impulses.
Mitch McConnell’s former chief of staff Josh Holmes said Bannon had wandered “off the reservation.” Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) blasted Bannon for letting himself be quoted criticizing the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russians. Once Trump lit into Bannon the floodgates of Republican criticism opened.
Bannon made himself the scourge of Republican Party officials, and McConnell in particular, by working to support a bunch of loathsome Republican primary candidates. But the decision to drive a wedge between him and Trump on this particular issue reveals something critical about the GOP’s disposition toward Trump’s misconduct. The Republican establishment is running tighter cover for Trump over historically scandalous and likely criminal actions than the man who stood by Trump, and later Roy Moore, after learning they were sexual predators. Party leaders view allegations of legal wrongdoing against Trump not as a potential problem for their party and the country, but as a kind of betrayal of Trump himself. If and when full documentation of his crimes emerges, they will go to great lengths to make sure he faces no repercussions.
In this and other ways, Wednesday’s bombshells were more clarifying than revolutionary, particularly for discerning news consumers.
Bannon isn’t a reliable narrator of almost anything, including the merits of the Russia scandal itself, but he has shown a revealing consistency on the question of Trump’s handling of that issue. His antipathy to Jared Kushner, and efforts to pin the whole Russia affair on him go back months. When he left the White House he called Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey among the biggest errors in modern political history. When the rest of the right wing was advancing the notion that the Russia investigation was phony and rigged, some anonymous figure “close to the administration” called the investigation “a classic Gambino-style roll-up,” that will “reach everyone in this administration.” It remains a huge mystery who that person was, but by completely fake coincidence, Bannon used the same language when he told Wolff that Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller is “going to roll [Kushner and Donald Trump, Jr.] up and say play me or trade me.”
Perhaps for fear that Bannon is right, Republicans have tried to discredit Mueller and end his probe. Two particularly Bannnonesque Republicans, Mark Meadows, and Jim Jordan, published an op-ed on Thursday putting forth a flimsy pretext for firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, so that he can be replaced with a new Attorney General who will fire Mueller. With Paul Ryan’s blessing, the House Intelligence Committee is now fully dedicated to running counter-ops against Mueller and the FBI, and has breached their investigation.
But there are no Republicans on the other side of the party providing any kind of counterweight. On Thursday, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO)—who did not vote for Trump and who, as chairman of the Senate GOP campaign committee refused to raise money for Roy Moore—rose to the defense of Coloradans, who legalized marijuana several years ago.
I am prepared to take all steps necessary, including holding DOJ nominees, until the Attorney General lives up to the commitment he made to me prior to his confirmation. — Cory Gardner (@SenCoryGardner) January 4, 2018
As right as Gardner was to take this stand, not a single Republican, including himself, has put anything like the same kind of effort into stopping Trump’s unprecedented corruption, or defend the integrity of the Russia investigation. At this point, if any of them tried, they’d stand a good chance of being driven out of the party for venturing “off the reservation” in much the same way Bannon was. | {

So much news passes before our collective eyes every day that we couldn't possibly cover it all. Mostly because much of it isn't worth covering! But here are a some borderline tidbits we passed on, just in case.
Israeli Clubs Installing Panic Buttons
It's the hot new Tel Aviv clubbing trend! Panic buttons that are strategically located around the club "in case of violence, or something." All it does is summon the club's goon squad to the scene of the disruption, which is disappointing for those hoping for a Panic Room Club scenario. Pro tip: not installed in the bathroom. [Reddit]
Barnes and Noble's in the Headphone Business Now
Nook headphones will go great with your Nook tablet, sure, but why stop there? Here's hoping for a Nook ottoman to rest your feet, a Nook scarf for when it's cold, and a Nook dog to fetch you your (digitally downloaded) paper in the morning. [SlashGear]
Water Resistant Coating Could Save Your Phone's Guts
Which is great! Although a long way off from being something you'll ever actually be able to buy, and even when you do there's a better than decent chance you won't realize it's even in there. Better drop your phone in the toilet every few months just to be sure. [Business Insider]
Left Behind is our daily collection of chaff we didn't think was quite good enough to post on its own, and why. | {

122 F.3d 477
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.Muhammed ABDUL, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 96-3419.
United States Court of Appeals,Seventh Circuit.
Submitted March 21, 1997.Decided Aug. 27, 1997.*
Bradley W. Murphy (submitted), Office of the United States Attorney, Peoria, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
George F. Taseff, Office of the Federal Public Defender, Peoria, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.
Before LAY,** CUMMINGS, and DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judges.
LAY, Circuit Judge.
1
Muhammed Abdul pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute cocaine base in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), and using or carrying a firearm related to drug trafficking in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c). Abdul appealed the district court's denial of his motion to withdraw his pleas. This court affirmed the denial of the motion to withdraw the guilty plea as to the drug possession charge; however, we vacated the judgment of conviction as to the armed drug trafficking charge pursuant to Bailey v. United States, --- U.S. ----, 116 S.Ct. 501, 133 L.Ed.2d 472 (1995). See United States v. Abdul, 75 F.3d 327 (7th Cir.1996), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 116 S.Ct. 2569, 135 L.Ed.2d 1085 (1996). We remanded the case for resentencing.
2
On remand, the district court sentenced Abdul to 262 months' imprisonment for possession with the intent to distribute cocaine base.1 At his resentencing, Abdul objected for the first time to being held accountable for 538.2 grams of cocaine base instead of the equivalent amount of cocaine.2 He argued that because the government did not prove the cocaine in question was prepared with sodium bicarbonate, the substance should be treated as cocaine instead of cocaine base in calculating his sentence.
3
The district court rejected Abdul's argument on several grounds. First, it held that Abdul's bare objection to the presentence report was not sufficient to burden the government with proving the report's conclusion that the substance was "crack" cocaine. Second, the district court determined that Abdul's failure to object to this factual conclusion during his original sentencing precluded the court from considering the issue based on the law of the case. Alternatively, the court found that the government had proven that the substance at issue was cocaine base within the meaning of the Guidelines even though the government had not proven that sodium bicarbonate was used to produce the substance.
Discussion
4
The ultimate factual conclusion that the substance at issue was crack cocaine rests on the district court's interpretation of the Guidelines that cocaine need not be processed with sodium bicarbonate to be crack under § 2D1.1. We review the interpretation of a sentencing guideline de novo. United States v. Townsend, 73 F.3d 747, 754 (7th Cir.1996). Abdul's primary argument stands on the notion that unless the resultant drug was manufactured with sodium bicarbonate it is not crack cocaine under § 2D1.1(c).
5
Crack is one of several forms of cocaine base. See United States v. Booker, 70 F.3d 488, 490-91 (7th Cir.1995), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 116 S.Ct. 1334, 134 L.Ed.2d 484 (1996). Prior to 1993, circuit courts were divided over whether "cocaine base" under § 2D1.1 included only "crack," or whether it also broadly encompassed all other substances the scientific community generally considered to be cocaine base. Compare United States v. Wheeler, 972 F.2d 927, 930 (8th Cir.1992) (rejecting assertion that rocklike, smokable cocaine need also contain a hydroxyl radical to be cocaine base under § 2D1.1); and United States v. Shaw, 936 F.2d 412, 415-16 (9th Cir.1991) (defining cocaine base under § 2D1.1 in practical terms as cocaine that is very pure and smokable); with United States v. Brown, 859 F.2d 974, 976 (D.C.Cir.1988) ("The fact that 'cocaine base' may have various interpretations on the street does not make it incapable of objective definition by means of chemical analysis."); United States v. Rodriguez, 980 F.2d 1375, 1377 (11th Cir.1992) (per curiam) (substance that was not in "rock or crack form" nevertheless triggered § 2D1.1 enhancement because the substance fit the scientific meaning of cocaine base); and United States v. Jackson, 968 F.2d 158 (2d Cir.1992) (soft, sticky, oily substance that was less than thirty percent cocaine was cocaine base within the meaning of § 2D1.1 even though the expert doubted it could have been used as crack).
6
To clarify that a § 2D1.1 enhancement should apply only to the crack form of cocaine base, the Sentencing Commission proposed amending § 2D1.1(c). Congress adopted the amendment, which became effective in 1993. The guideline now reads as follows:
7
"Cocaine base," for the purposes of this guideline, means "crack." "Crack" is the street name for a form of cocaine base, usually prepared by processing cocaine hydrochloride and sodium bicarbonate, and usually appearing in a lumpy, rocklike form.
8
U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c), note (D). The Commission expressly indicated that the purpose of the amendment was to address the conflict among the circuits, and explained that "forms of cocaine base other than crack (e.g., coca paste ... ) will be treated as cocaine." U.S.S.G.App. C., amend. 487.
9
The amendment does not attempt to define crack as being manufactured in any particular way. The definition, through the use of the word "usually," serves merely to illustrate a common method of conversion. See United States v. Tolson, 935 F.Supp. 17, 23 (D.D.C.1996) ("[T]he defendant has ignored the word 'usually.' "). If courts were to disregard the qualifying term "usually," crack dealers could avoid the penalties for distribution of crack by merely finding some substitute for baking soda in production, or by crushing the rocks so that the final product resembles powder.
10
Since the amendment, the Third Circuit in United States v. James considered a district court's conclusion that because a substance was cocaine base, it also was crack under § 2D1.1. 78 F.3d 851 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 117 S.Ct. 128, 136 L.Ed.2d 77 (1996). The James court rejected the district court's inclusive definition of "cocaine base." It held that it was error to construe the substance as cocaine base under § 2D1.1 because the government did not prove that the cocaine base was crack. While the Third Circuit did not go so far as to require proof that the cocaine was processed with sodium bicarbonate, the district court did so in United States v. Culpepper, 916 F.Supp. 1257 (N.D.Ga.1995). However, the Eleventh Circuit recently reversed that decision. United States v. Culpepper, No. 96-8053, 116 F.3d 1493 (11th Cir. June 4, 1997) (unpublished table decision).
11
The amendment's background supports our conclusion that the Commission did not intend to require proof of production with sodium bicarbonate. In United States v. Shaw, the Ninth Circuit recognized that the distinction between cocaine base and cocaine under § 2D1.1 was intended to more severely punish dealers of cocaine in its pure, smokable, less expensive and more dangerous form. 936 F.2d at 415-16. In United States v. Booker, this court recognized that "Congress was concerned about the emergence of a new, smokable form of cocaine that was more dangerous than powder cocaine, less expensive, and highly addictive." 70 F.3d at 493. In contrast, the Second Circuit in United States v. Jackson had found even highly impure, unsmokable, soft and oily cocaine to be subject to the more severe penalty merely because it fit the scientific definition of "cocaine base." Jackson, 968 F.2d at 159-60. The Commission explicitly cited Shaw and Jackson as the split the amendment would resolve. U.S.S.G.App. C., amend. 487. The amendment adopts Shaw's approach, which rejected the inclusive scientific definition of "cocaine base" since that definition was inconsistent with the apparent intent of Congress to more severely punish "crack" dealers. See Shaw, 936 F.3d at 415-16.
12
On this basis, we hold that requiring proof that the cocaine has been processed with sodium bicarbonate would impose too rigid a standard to comport with congressional intent. The question does not turn on what particular method is used to fashion crack or on its visual appearance, although it is "usually" made from sodium bicarbonate and "usually" appears in lumpy, rocklike form. The issue is whether the drug is "crack" as the term is generally understood.
13
We hold that while crack might generally be produced using sodium bicarbonate, production with sodium bicarbonate is not the exclusive preparation method recognized for purposes of § 2D1.1(c). Regardless of preparation method, however, the government has the burden of showing that the cocaine base distributed was indeed crack. See James, 78 F.3d at 855-59. In the present case, a veteran narcotics agent and a forensic chemist agreed that Abdul's cocaine base was crack cocaine. While the evidence on this point was not overwhelming, Abdul presented no contradictory evidence; he merely asserted that the government failed to prove the drugs were manufactured using sodium bicarbonate.3 Abdul fails to demonstrate that the district court clearly erred in finding that the cocaine for which he was responsible was "crack."
14
For these reasons, we find no fault with Abdul's 262-month prison sentence.
15
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
*
This Court's earlier opinion and judgment issued June 10, 1997, and reported in 114 F.3d 663 were vacated on July 10, 1997, and replaced with this opinion
**
The Honorable Donald P. Lay, Circuit Judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, sitting by designation
1
The 262-month sentence results from the district court's application of the United States Sentencing Commission, Guidelines Manual, § 2D1.1(b)(1). That section directs sentencing courts to impose a two-level increase to the base offense level if a defendant possessed a firearm in connection with the drug offense. While he objected to the application of § 2D1.1(b)(1) during his resentencing, Abdul abandons that issue on appeal
2
Under § 2D1.1(c), a given quantity of "cocaine base" (crack) results in the same base offense level for sentencing as 100 times that quantity of "cocaine."
3
We note that Abdul apparently admitted the type of drug to the court, under oath, during the plea colloquy. The district judge began discussing the charges by explaining that Abdul had been indicted for possessing with the intent to distribute "more than 50 grams of a substance containing cocaine base, or a controlled substance which is also commonly called crack." Plea Trans. at 6 (emphasis added). When the judge immediately asked Abdul if that was his understanding of the charge, Abdul replied, "Yes, sir." Id
"There can be no question that admissions to the court by a defendant during a guilty plea colloquy can be relied upon by the court at the sentencing stage." James, 78 F.3d at 856. The district court here did not rely on the plea exchange in finding Abdul responsible for possessing crack. While we agree it is not dispositive, we find Abdul's admission supports the district court's later determination that the drug at issue was crack. Cf. United States v. Hall, 109 F.3d 1227, 1236 (7th Cir.1997) ("Witness after witness testified that the substance defendants distributed was 'crack.' This testimony is particularly persuasive given that the Guidelines define 'crack' with reference to how that term is used on the street."), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 118 S.Ct. 153, --- L.Ed.2d ---- (1997).

Houston-based Christian rapper Bizzle has launched a new website to catalog the various social media threats and insulting messages he received after the release of his song response to Macklemore’s “Same Love” track that has become something of a gay-rights anthem.
After my original blog entry about the record was featured on the front page of the Houston Chronicle‘s website it also got linked to and picked up by bloggers on sites like The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed.
The extra attention appears to have provided some readers with “keyboard courage” to send aggressive e-mails, Tweets, and Facebook messages to the rapper.
And in a bit of an ironic twist on the story, the Internet bullying phenomenon is also something Macklemore complains about in his original version of “Same Love” with the lyrics:
“If I was gay I would think hip hop hates me / Have you read the YouTube comments lately?!?” ‘Man, that’s gay’ gets dropped on the daily / We’ve become so numb to what we’re saying.”
Some of the cleaner messages to Bizzle that I can post here include:
“OMG! Please go and kill yourself, seriously. Your God is ashamed of YOU!”
“SOMEONE NEEDS TO BIBLE BASH @MyNameIsBizzle OVER THE HEAD”
“Is there anything more gay that Jesus and the twelve minor prophets???”
In an e-mail sent to his God Over Money record label supporters titled “What Happens When the Tolerant Become Intolerant?” Bizzle wrote:
Over the last couple of years, I have noticed how anyone who disagrees with homosexuality is considered full of HATE and INTOLERANT…….simply for calling it sin. From ESPN announcer Chris Broussard to Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy, it has been become apparent that there are no words nice enough to use when expressing disagreement. Since releasing the “Same Love” response to Macklemore’s record I have had a few dope conversations with people who consider themselves gay or lesbian; some disagreed respectfully, a few agreed and even thanked me. But MOST of the responses I have gotten have shown hate beyond any degree one can claim to have heard in my song. The media seems to paint a picture of one-sided tolerance from the LGBT community. The fact that everyone in the country seems to know about the one small Church in Topeka Kansas screaming “god hates fags” only speaks to the manipulation in effect by the media. I have NEVER met a Christian who liked or agreed with those people, yet they seem to represent the Church’s stance on gay people to the world. But being black, I am not new to seeing the media hand pick the worst representatives of a people group and painting a tainted picture of them for the world to see. Most of my music speaks to the hood, and when I’m telling black people about their actions and lifestyles, no one seems to have a problem with it. In fact, a lot of the people who feel that my song is full of hate, tend to be the same ones who dance to songs about black people killing each other with no problem. But let’s not make this about race. This is about media manipulation and lack of accountability. So I launched this website using screenshots of replies and responses to my record, to show what hate really looks like coming from those who wave the “tolerance” banner so proudly.

Scoreability measures offensive efficiency in terms of what we call Yards Per Point Scored — how effectively teams turn yards into points. Smart teams need only a few yards to score a lot of points; dumb teams, like the Eagles, produce plenty of yards but few points.
Bendability measures defensive efficiency in terms of Yards Per Point Allowed — how effectively opponents turn yards into points. It measures, in other words, the “bend but don’t break” phenomenon. Smart teams might give up a lot of yards but surrender few points; dumb teams, like the Eagles, surrender few yards but a lot of points.
Considering the efficiency of Russell Wilson and the Seahawks’ offense, and the team’s ball-hawking defense, it comes as no surprise that people are taking notice of the brilliance of this team. But it’s always nice to have statistical validation.
Below is a list of the team rankings according to Byrne’s efficiency statistics:
Seattle
New England
Atlanta
Chicago
N.Y. Giants
Denver
Green Bay
San Francisco
Cincinnati
Baltimore
Minnesota
Washington
San Diego
Houston
New Orleans
Miami
Tampa Bay
Indianapolis
Cleveland
Carolina
Arizona
Dallas
Pittsburgh
St. Louis
Tennessee
Buffalo
N.Y. Jets
Jacksonville
Detroit
Oakland
Philadelphia
Kansas City
Also unsurprising is the fact that the Patriots and Falcons are ranked behind atop the list behind the Seahawks, while the lowly Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs rank as the league’s “dumbest” teams. | {

Predictive modelling of growth of Yersinia enterocolitica: the effects of temperature, pH and sodium chloride.
The growth responses of Yersinia enterocolitica as affected by NaCl concentration, pH value and storage temperature were studied in laboratory medium. Growth curves at concentrations of NaCl in the range 0.5-6.5% (w/v), pH values in the range 4.0-7.0 and storage temperatures in the range 5-30 degrees C were fitted using the Gompertz routine and the derived parameters modelled. Growth curves could then be regenerated for any set of conditions within the matrix studied and values for growth rate, generation time, lag time and time to 1000-fold increase predicted. The model was validated against data from the literature and was found to give realistic estimates for generation time in media and a range of foods including meat and meat products, milk, eggs, fish and tofu. All predictions were consistently 'fail-safe'. | {

I'm wondering when I'm going to walk away from an assignment, start my engine and drive away feeling completely satisfied. I'm only satisfied when I'm looking through the viewfinder. Then as soon as I leave I think of all the things I should have done.
The fairy and the princess wanted the lion's attention and giggled at him, but he was in his own world.
I didn't know why I was drawn to this scene, why it was so interesting. When I finally made the connection, it only broke at my heart for a split second. | {

Published in a slightly different form on PsychCentral!
In my experience as a couples therapist, men come into couples therapy with one of the following mindsets:
1- What is her problem all the damn time? Why can’t she just chill out? WE don’t have problems, SHE has problems. I have to get back to work.
2- Why does my wife hate me so much and what did I do to make her so cold toward me? If I figure out how to communicate better, she will love me again, and also then we will have more sex.
3- We are headed for divorce but if I come in here a few times, I will always be able to tell myself I did everything I could.
Let’s focus for this one post on guy #1, whom we shall call Mr. Perfect. This high achieving specimen of masculinity is usually in some field requiring an excess of education or on-the-job training. He is excels at work and receives a lot of positive feedback. When he comes home, the kids look up to him. He can take the kids for an afternoon on his own because he is highly competent in all situations, even those involving toddlers and poop. His friends consider him a good guy. He is attractive and well spoken. In an emergency, he is calm, cool, and collected. What a guy, right? (Don’t swoon just yet.)
The one albatross around his neck is his crazy wife, whom we shall call Crazy Wife. She texts him all the time. She thinks he may be having an affair, or that he is a workaholic. She complains about his lack of emotional involvement and that he doesn’t seem to be very interested in what she thinks or feels. She sometimes gets so “crazy” as to cry or scream, just to get a reaction from him. Of course he doesn’t give her one. He is not into that sort of thing. Emotions to him are messy and silly. Of course he loves his Crazy Wife, he married her, didn’t he? And he’s been the same guy all along, what the hell does she want from him now? Candlelight and roses? This is a marriage, not a musical. A variety of this dynamic is seen in the (great) movie War of the Roses.
How does Mr. Perfect turn out so perfect? Many times men grow up in an atmosphere that condemns emotional expression. Boys are told not to cry and to suck it up when they feel hurt. Many households are fairly devoid of emotional expression, something that the children don’t realize until they see other families, and may never realize if they don’t look closely at their upbringings.Mr. Perfect often makes his Crazy Wife feel gaslighted. She thinks she must in fact be as insane as he thinks she is, because she feels so out of control around him. Her friends think her husband is great. Good provider, handsome, friendly, and great with the kids.
Despite looking good on paper, this man is emotionally absent. He shares no vulnerabilities with his wife, no fears, and no insecurities. He doesn’t even like talking about insecurities or vulnerabilities, and shuts down or problem solves when his wife brings up her vulnerable emotions. She has many of these, because often she is struggling with low self-esteem from experiences in her own upbringing. Her husband’s inability to express emotions or validate her emotions leads to attachment panic in the wife, the same as it does for babies whose mothers look at them without expression. She wonders if there is anyone listening to her at all when she talks to her husband. She feels alone, yet, since he is physically there, he tells her that she is crazy, or at the very least, being overdramatic, by saying she feels lonely.
Men raised this way often gravitate toward women on the highly emotional end of the spectrum, whom they originally, during dating, find fascinating and intense, very unlike themselves. These women, for their part, initially find less emotional men to be stable and impressive. They admire their emotionally restrained partners initially for their confidence and ability to handle themselves well in most situations.
Yet, over time, both partners start to feel misunderstood by each other. They become polarized, where the Crazy Wife acts increasingly crazier in her attempts to get some sort of a “human” reaction out of her husband, and Mr. Perfect acts increasingly perfect, never sharing any weakness or vulnerability of his own, even more so as a defense because he is increasingly scared of and confused by how out of control his wife seems. A good movie example of this dynamic is the start of When a Man Loves a Woman. Meg Ryan is an alcoholic and acts dramatic and “crazy,” and her husband is a definite Mr. Perfect, who admits no weakness of his own.
If this relationship dynamic resonates with you, try and take the first step toward a closer connection, and look for a couples counselor. A helpful therapist can determine what is at the root of Mr. Perfect’s need to appear so perfect. The husband may be narcissistic or he may even tend toward Asperger’s Disorder or alexithymia. You do not need to stay locked in a toxic pattern, and you owe it to yourself to see if your marriage can change for the better. If Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia could do it, so can you.The first step toward a healthier relationship is for Mr. Perfect to admit some of his fears and vulnerabilities, ranging from earlier in childhood to now as an adult. The Crazy Wife will often be astonished and moved to hear her “robotic” husband speak more emotionally and put himself out there with her emotionally. She may be able to stem the tide of her “crazy” behavior, which was really seeking emotional connection, albeit at any cost. And she can try and explore why she is so violently triggered by a perceived lack of connection with her partner, and what this means about her experiences with emotions and relationships in her early life.
By the way, if you’re interested in what a healthy version of this dynamic would look like, check out The Stable Guy And His Sensitive Wife!

Fiend Mr. Whomp Whomp Lyrics
Last updated: 04/03/2001 03:51:41 AM
Guy:
Bitch! Who dat' nigga, who dat' nigga, who dat' nigga
Turn him up on the mic
Verse one:
Who was born to rowdy, be bout my dottie, thinking I'm Lil' Gotti
Tats on my body, catch 'em, shottie, with that red beam dottie
When they call me pop, nigga's call me mister hit 'em get 'em
Or just, bad motherfucker, because I'm quick to spit 'em, dismiss 'em
I beat the total livin', somebody get 'em
Before I put this in 'em and even the doctors won't admit 'em
Look, I won't bullshit 'em, the school, put you wupe you in the jammie
(Soldier put it on something)
Put it on my mama and her mammie
Lay it, thrown out the nanny
Got these niggas hate me ballie
Sending they pussy at me just to see a nigga stab me
Don't have my marbles at all, I'm horrible dog
Don't believe me, watch me, action when I give this call
I'm the dopiest thing since the Rock
Cause the stock about a single jaws block
The only rapper slash nigga with a endorsment from a glock
I'm gain nigga go head and put that in yo' vain nigga
When you bought the Cd, you got it because of my name nigga
The one with the double R, till every track he busted on
Won't give a fuck who else on, look I'm pure competition
Just an example with the expedition
And I'm still making songs for the prisons
Nigga's besta tip, and went when C.B. Jones came about
Can't see a nigga taking me out
From Tennessee to Atlanta, shy town, and back home
What they wanna here when I touch that microphone
Chorus
Verse three:
I use to use to be a drug pusher
Now I'm that dope in your sub-woofer
Only for the coke cookers that ook us
But ain't no affording me
Can't go no where don't act accordingly
The only person that notice me is God and that nigga recording me
You wanted a hero well here I be, capital F-I-e-n-d you peeping me
See frequently fucking over your frequency
Talking 'bout our producers like quantity
Follow me, every since I said the quarter ki
Checking for me in Blockbuster every quarterly
Pardon me, I don't know if I'm the shit, or just another nigga bump
But right now I'm the nigga that's damaging your trunk | {

drop the dark, just, man of steel: shadow of the bat
Yeah, but the whole reason WB is coming up with idiotic titles like Batman vs Superman is to lure in general audiences. General Audiences would know from association with Nolan's Trilogy, that Batman is in the movie with "The Dark Knight" being inserted into the title. Plus it sort of implies that Batman's coming into Superman's world and that Superman gets precedence which is again what we want and what is happening and that's more pro points with me.

well thats not even necessarily true. nightfall is when day turns to night, and knightfall is simply a play on that. its only associated with batman losing because of the original batman knightfall story lol | {

Utility vehicles typically are required to be provided with a number of storage cabinets accessible from the exterior of the vehicle. Such cabinets typically include a single chamber or storage compartment having its walls fabricated by attaching sheet metal to a suitable framework or by molding a suitable plastic material to form the walls as a one piece or integral unit.
Sheet metal cabinets are recognized as being undesirable from the standpoint of their cost of construction and their susceptibility to damage and corrosion. On the other hand, problems are encountered with molded plastic cabinets in regard to warpage and the requirement that their walls be reinforced subsequent to the molding operation when intended for heavy duty use environments. A further problem encountered with molded plastic cabinets is that a separate mold must be constructed each time it is desired to construct a cabinet of a different size or shape.
Moreover, prior cabinet construction techniques of which I am aware do not allow for the construction of modules including two or more cabinets which may be constructed separately from a vehicle and then installed thereon, and further allow individual cabinets damaged during use to be subsequently removed from their module and replaced without requiring removal of the whole of their module from the vehicle.
As a result of the disadvantages of prior cabinet constructions, utility vehicles requiring the provision of numerous cabinets of differing size and/or configuration, such as with the case of fire trucks, are quite expensive to manufacture and maintain when damaged during use. | {

A Day in a Year in a Life / Day 138
18/May/2015, Day 138. Monday.
After our exciting weekend, it was a blah back-to-work Monday for Grump. Sweetie and Lola had their troubles too, as Kuya is now on summer vacation, and out of school until mid-August. Keeping him occupied and out of trouble will challenging,
After all that walking in Savannah Grump, Sweetie, and Lola were tired and sore today, especially Grump. Kuya, on the other hand, acted as if nothing unusual had happened.
Dinner was almost as good as our Savannah dinners. Sweetie cooked up some baked pompano stuffed with green onions. It was served over rice, and was absolutely delicious. Desert was some fresh sliced mangoes.
I feel like in our descripions of our Savannah trip poor Dodong wasn't mentioned as much as the rest of us, so here are some pics of him enjoying the city scenery: | {

Jon Gosselin: Everyone Knows Kate Gosselin Is An A** Hole!
Comments Off on Jon Gosselin: Everyone Knows Kate Gosselin Is An A** Hole!
Why so much angst, Jon Gosselin?!
In a recent interview with Philadelphia Magazine, the former reality star opened up about his true current feelings he has towards his ex wife Kate Gosselin.
Reacting to claims he’s trying to slander his former spouse, Jon says, “Everyone thinks I’m out to get Kate. I don’t give a f–k!”
The father adds, “What would I get out of it? Everyone knows she’s an a–hole, you know what I mean? I don’t have to – she’s proven that!”
“She tweets everything to the world, all about my children,” he told Philadelphia. “I think it’s disgusting and awful. They can’t even have a normal life. She wants to still be on television. She’s now digging into the past, because that’s what sells.” | {

A mass operation by Ukrainian troops has retaken most of the strategic Donetsk airport in eastern Ukraine after it nearly fell to Russia-backed rebels, the country’s military leadership said on Sunday.
The early morning assault marked a further intensification of the fighting that has flared up over the past week, with shelling reported near central Donetsk, which has remained mostly unscathed. Both sides have denied their advances around the airport are in violation of the terms of a September ceasefire.
“The decision was taken for a mass operation … We succeeded in almost completely cleaning the territory of the airport, which belongs to the territory of Ukrainian forces as marked by military separation lines,” Ukraine’s national defence council speaker Andriy Lysenko told journalists on Sunday, adding that Ukrainian forces were only firing at rebel positions that had attacked them. Three soldiers were killed and 31 wounded near the Donetsk airport in the past 24 hours, Lysenko said.
Presidential advisor Yury Biryukov wrote on his Facebook page that Kiev’s troops near Donetsk had received an order at 6am to “open concentrated fire on known separatist positions.” The operation came as thousands rallied around Ukraine to mourn the civilian casualties of an attack last week that Kiev has blamed on the separatists. “Haven’t we observed the ceasefire? Haven’t we shown that we support the peace process? Well okay, today we’ll show that we really know how to hit them in the teeth,” Biryukov said.
But LifeNews, a Russian website known for its access to the Kremlin’s security services, reported on Sunday that Kiev’s forces were shelling airport building and said rebels had repulsed four “mass attacks” by Ukrainian foot soldiers and 15 tanks in the morning. The separatist leaders had claimed in recent days that their forces had taken the airport.
Alexander Zakharchenko, head of the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic, told Russian news agencies on Sunday that rebel-held Donetsk and Luhansk were being shelled by Ukrainian forces and accused Kiev of trying to restart the war. The republic’s defence ministry told Interfax that “almost all districts of Donetsk” were under fire and said shells had fallen near residential buildings in the city centre. Journalists in Donetsk reported incoming and outgoing fire and tweeted photographs of rebel armour on the move and damage from shelling.
The Donetsk airport has remained a main area of contention despite the ceasefire that has been violated by both sides. Fighting resumed near Donetsk and Luhansk following a brief lull before New Year’s and has intensified over the past week. Although the control tower collapsed last week and the terminals and runways have been severely damaged by shelling, the airport holds great symbolic and strategic importance for both sides.
The Russia-backed Donetsk People’s Republic said in a statement on Friday its forces had taken “control over the territory of Donetsk airport and its surroundings” but admitted that “about 10 Ukrainian soldiers” remained in the terminal. Connected to farther back positions by underground utility tunnels, the Ukrainian troops in the airport – popularly known as “cyborgs” for their resilience – have held the bottom floors of the main terminal even as rebel fighters have taken over the top floor and surrounding areas.
Thousands in Kiev and other cities on Sunday afternoon attended a “requiem” march for the 12 bus passengers killed in an apparent separatist attack on a Ukrainian military checkpoint near Volnovakha in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday. President Petro Poroshenko and prime minister Arseny Yatseniuk joined the rally-goers in holding candles, flowers and signs reading “Je suis Volnovakha,” a reference to the “Je suis Charlie Hebdo” signs popular after the recent attack on the Paris newspaper.
“We won’t give up a single shred of Ukrainian land! We will take back Donbass,” Poroshenko, referring to eastern Ukraine, told the marchers on Maidan Square, where protests and clashes with police led to the fall of president Viktor Yanukovich last winter.A small group rallied at the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow in solidarity with the Kiev march, while the “anti-Maidan” protestors who have increasingly come out oppose similar events in recent months gathered nearby.
The Donetsk People’s Republic leadership has denied any role in the Volnovakha attack and argued the casualties were caused by a mine.
But a video shot at the checkpoint shows what are likely Grad rockets striking near the road more than a dozen times, then pans to the damaged bus stopped next to a black crater in the snow, suggesting a separatist rocket attack was responsible for the carnage.
A preliminary report from the scene by Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe found that the 12 dead and 17 wounded passengers had been hit by shrapnel from a nearby rocket impact. | {

Yesterday, I rode the bus around town and made a few stops (library, mall) to distract myself from writing too much as NaNoWriMo approaches. At the downtown library I idly scan the "new books" section and come across one that catches my eye. It's called The Advanced Genius Theory, by one Jason Hartley. Being a genius myself, I picked it up. Turns out the "theory" deals with the decline of great artists (its two primary examples are Bob Dylan and Lou Reed) without actually explaining it as decline. I checked it out from the library, and it became my bus reading for the day.
Hartley's "Advanced Genius Theory" attempts to explain apparent decline. The conventional assumption is that a genius has a hot period, then a high point, and then goes into decline and can be safely ignored in favor of the next hot young thing. Why the apparent decline? asks Hartley. Because the genius has Advanced far beyond the ability of his fans to understand and appreciate what he's doing — and this goes double for the early fans. Chuck Klosterman (whom Amazon.com credits with being the book's coauthor despite having only written the foreword, because he's more famous than Hartley) offers a concise introduction to the theory in his 2004 Esquire article. As Klosterman sums it up (and Hartley himself quotes this): "When a genius does something that appears idiotic, it does not necessarily mean he suddenly sucks. What it might mean is that he's doing something you cannot understand, because he has Advanced beyond you."

After I failed to win AugNoWriMo earlier this year, I spent nearly a month almost completely offline. Or at least avoiding my social media accounts except maybe an occasional visit to Twitter, and not blogging at all about anything. And now NaNoWriMo approaches, and I find myself in a sort of non-WriMo PanicTime. So here I am.
I have an explanation for my absence. Occasionally I find something that really obsesses me. This time around, it was something called the TV Tropes Wiki. I was always the kind of kid who got lost in encyclopedias, and I've gotten lost in Wikipedia numerous times. I got lost in TV Tropes for two full months, not writing any actually story words but merely listing (in a now massive Microsoft Word document) all the tropes (read: memes) that fit Spanner. I've got enough of an understanding of both the tropes and TV Tropes that it'll no longer distract me from writing my book.
About Me
Novelist, blogger, cartoonist (mangaka in training), rocker (singer, guitarist, and keyboardist also in training), tech geek, political junkie, public intellectual, professional slacker, and hacker of memes.
My first novel, Chaos Angel Spanner (originally planned as a manga in 1992), is currently undergoing its fifth and final revision for publication later this year. (WARNING: contains NSFW material, political incorrectness, and live mind viruses, so read at your own risk!) | {

December 5, 2008 — Restructure!
Nice Guy at XKCD:
This XKCD comic is titled “Friends”.
Sadly—but unsurprisingly—many (heterosexual) male geeks at the “Friends” XKCD comic discussion thread see nothing wrong with being a Nice Guy.
(Basically, a Nice Guy (not to be confused with a nice guy) is a guy who is “nice” to a woman for sex. When this does not work, he concludes that women want “jerks”.)

Surface molecular self-assembly strategy for TNT imprinting of polymer nanowire/nanotube arrays.
This paper reports the finding of an investigation of a surface molecular self-assembly strategy for molecular imprinting of polymer nanowires/nanotubes. It has been demonstrated that 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) templates were spontaneously assembled onto aminopropyl group-modified alumina pore walls by a strong charge-transfer complexing interaction between amino groups and electron-deficient nitroaromatics, forming a novel basis of surface molecular imprinting. While an additional amount of TNT templates was further replenished into a precursor mixture, a stepwise progressive polymerization was designed toward the controllable preparation of TNT-imprinted polymer nanowire/nanotube arrays in an alumina membrane. The imprinted nanowires/nanotubes with a high density of surface-imprinted sites and regular interior sites exhibit the high capacity of binding TNT molecules, which is nearly 2.5-3.0-fold that of normal imprinted particles. Moreover, the imprinted nanotubes and nanowires have approximately 6- and 4-fold increase in the rate of binding TNT molecules, respectively. The combination of surface molecular assembly with nanostructures in the imprinting technique can create more effective recognition sites than the only use of porogens in traditional approaches. This novel, facile strategy reported herein can be further expected to fabricate various molecular recognition nanoarrays for sensing or analytic applications. | {

Amanda Marcotte says Stephanie Cutter is getting an unusual amount of flak for a presidential spokesman, and chalks it up to sexism. Republicans, she warns, will hurt themselves with women voters if they keep this up:
Limbaugh tends to be the blunt instrument of the right, but as Seitz-Wald goes on to demonstrate, other conservative hacks press the same buttons in a slightly more subtle manner, simply by paying more attention to Cutter than her rank on Obama's staff really justifies. Sean Hannity has been harping on Cutter for months, and ran a full segment on her recently, giving Cutter an implausible amount of credit for controlling the Obama campaign, characterizing her as, "the one person that can be credited for driving the hateful tone that has been spewing from team Obama."
If conservative pundits don't cut it out, they'll soon find out that the era when pretty unmarried women were considered "girls"—expected to be quiet and let the adults do the talking—is waning rapidly. Over time, people are going to start noticing the correlation between the amount of hate aimed at a woman and her single, attractive status, and begin to piece it together. They may even start to notice the correlation between these misogynist feeding frenzies and support for anti-women policies, from restricting abortion rights to opposing equal pay legislation to watering down domestic violence protections. Considering how much of conservative politics is about establishing plausible deniability of prejudice, inviting the public to make these associations could be a serious problem, if it isn't already.
As it happens, I agree that Stephanie Cutter gets singled out because she's a reasonably attractive woman, and the cause is sexism. But not special Republican sexism. I suppose it's only natural that liberal woman commentators who become the subject of vitriolic attacks from men--attacks that highlight their appearance, marital status, and presumptive stupidity--would assume that this happens because conservatives are sexist. But the sad fact is that conservative and libertarians get this stuff too.
Yes, you heard me right: self described progressive men go out of their way to write me notes in which they sound like sexist jerks. They deploy words that I won't repeat, because this is a family blog, but which center around my reproductive parts, and what I might or might not be doing with them. If I have written something nice about a conservative man they dislike, they'll ask me how it felt to have him come on my face. They tell me that I really ought to have kids, because that'll learn me about the folly of my political views. They not-so-subtly imply that I have gotten my job by sleeping with my bosses, or friends of my bosses, or hell, the entire Washington DC phone book.
Then there's the more garden variety guy stuff, like "mansplaining" a subject upon which I have done extensive reporting, even though the sum of their own knowledge on the topic consists of a 250 word blog-post they read. Not infrequently, when their encyclopedic lack of knowledge is gently pointed out, they go for the reproductive jugular. Or they disappear. So far, not one of them has simply said, "Oh, wow, I guess my operating assumption that you spent eight weeks reporting a feature without learning anything at all about the topic was the kind of tacit sexism that we progressives are trying to fight!"
And don't forget the women! I'm (painfully) reminded of the progressive woman who wrote a long and spiteful note, the upshot of which was that since my husband is younger than me, he'd probably eventually leave me for a younger woman. She detailed the extensive mental suffering that she hoped this would engender--though of course, only because she hoped it would make me a better person, and open my eyes to the terrible error of my political views. It was the sort of speech I would only have previously imagined finding in a particularly lazy bodice-ripper, issuing to a younger married woman from the razor thin lips of an embittered spinster with a bible clutched to the sunken hollow of her chest. But I assume its author would have been drummed right out of the Realist Fiction Writers League.
Even feminist writers seem to react somewhat more harshly to women who disagree with them than to men. The men are sexist doofs. The women are traitors with terrible motives and worse morals.
Since I'm a soft-libertarian squish, the beauty is that I get these things from both sides--many more from progressives, to be sure, but enough from the other side to know that it's very much a bipartisan vice. And I'm hardly alone; name any female op-ed writer or politician, and I guarantee she gets the kind of criticism that will make your eyes bleed. And that's just the overt stuff. The covert stuff is probably more harmful to society.
OF course, as a woman who gets a fair amount of criticism, I would say that, wouldn't I? So let's stipulate that my critics are completely gender blind, reacting only to my many faults. That still leaves all those other women getting the full court press--hell, getting sacked--every time they open their mouths.
(I know, I know: just another woman who knows nothing about sports. Sigh.)
It seems to be some sort of universal that women who make forceful political arguments garner a particular sort of vitriolic reaction. 150 years since the feminist movement really got going, it's still the case that women doing "male things" get seen very differently from men--and not just by men, but also by women, as studies have repeatedly shown. Men who take charge in a business situation are forceful and competent; men who argue passionately for their political views are warriors. Women who do the same thing are . . . well, a word that I try not to use, whether or not I'm writing for a family blog.
A former chess player once told me that when a male chess player lost to a woman, the first thing he would often do was declare that she was a lesbian. There are some arenas where women simply aren't supposed to go out there and win. If she does, she must be betraying her sex--so how dare she wear short skirts and high boots?
Women are allowed to succeed because they worked really hard (I've spent ten years doing research and the result is X . . . ).
We are comfortable when they act as our moral conscience (We are not thinking enough about the poor/unborn babies!)
But we get very uncomfortable when they contest men on skill: when they are arguing, in essence, "I'm smarter than you" or "I've thought this through better" or "My ideas are more compelling" or just "I'm in charge, and we're going to do it my way". It's not just that the women may be wrong--50% of the time, they probably are. There's a real anger that the women are daring to put themselves out there, to declaim in a space where they have no right to be.
Politics seems to me to be very definitely one of those arenas. When Stephanie Cutter does her job right, she wins the news cycle--and the people who have lost take a double blow. They were beaten, and they were beaten by a woman. It's galling.
Which is why Rush Limbaugh garners outrage and fear, while Michelle Malkin garners a sort of hysterical contempt, incredulity mixed with horror mixed with "How dare that uppity [expletive deleted] state her stupid opinions!" And why the reaction to both Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin was somewhat out of proportion to their actual faults.
The worst part is that no one can see themselves doing it. It seems to me objectively true that female commentators and political operatives on both sides of the aisle get disproportionate censure--and moreover, that there is a distinctly sexist undertone to a lot of the criticism. (More than one guy has told me that he couldn't stand Hilary Clinton because she reminded him of his mother. These are academics and top professionals with impeccable cosmopolitan credentials, not members of the Quiverfull movement).
One way I know I'm right is that everyone else can see it--when they're talking about the folks on their side. But if you asked all the people from the other side who are swarming these women, not one in a million would agree that it had anything to do with the target's gender. After all, they support plenty of women on their own side, don't they?
But that's a bit like arguing that you support free speech . . . except for, y'know, fringe, offensive views. It's easy to protect speech that no one wants to ban, and it's easy to support people who agree with us. It's in disagreement that the knives come out--particularly when we're losing. I'm sure that chess players didn't spend much time discussing the sexual preferences of the women who did what they were supposed to, and lost in the first round.
To put it in slightly fancier terms, sexism is most likely to manifest when women are challenging your position in the dominance hierarchy. A woman who agrees with you isn't challenging your position; she's reinforcing it (we're on top!). A woman on the other side who's winning is threatening to bump you down a notch. So it's time for the gorilla roar to let her know who's boss. And of course, the spiteful denigration of her attractiveness and reproductive chances, to let her know that if she doesn't get back in line, she'll end up old and alone and abandoned.
Given how deep-seated all this is, I'm not sure that I have a solution. But I'm pretty sure that if there is one, it will start with recognizing that this is something everyone does, not just those amoral cretins on the other side. | {

Accidental Bitchfest
OK so my last attempt at a blog was wah-wah … and it read as way harsher then I meant. Which in itself is what I was talking about … the not caring what others think … but there I go again … caring. So fuck it. I’m not going to try to define anything. What will be will be.
But Stacy’s comment made me think and she’s right … this blog has helped people and I want to keep that part going.
Alex, you’re right also … I want to start writing books.
Rexie, I know you always have my back.
Guest writers? I’ve totally changed my mind. The only thing is I’m going to screen better from now on! But seriously, all the other writers have been amazing and a huge contribution to the site. I shouldn’t have let the few times I got burned let it color the rest. It was a learning curve and I’m still learning.
In the mean time, have you heard of Abraham-Hicks? There are a ton of cool videos on YouTube but I wanted to share this one, it might speak to someone out there.
One Response to “Accidental Bitchfest”
Aside from the brilliance of your writing talent, Sasha, one of the best things about this blog was the quality of your guest writers. They infused your energy with their own and what resulted was simply spectacular. Not only were their contributed pieces thoughtful and engaging, but then, they went the distance and participated as a member of the thriving online community that was once here. The comments section was a living thing – so many intelligent, sensitive women (and some men) that often I thought myself too lacking to be counted among them. The advice, the support, the drama, the juice, the arguments, the slinging, and even the occasional trolls were what compelled so many of us to obsessively refresh our browsers because we didn’t want to miss a thing. Anyone who might be struggling because the light just went on for them just needs to make their way to your post about “When I First Realized…” That article, in itself, is a great resource to calm any confusion they might be feeling, but then add that rich comments section and by the time they get to the bottom of it (if they make it that far), they will be feeling perfectly normal in their own skin. Talk about public service!
At the expense of creating diatribe, I am not sure if you have it in you to “not care”. You ARE a caring, sensitive soul even when it is at your own expense and suffering. I suppose there is a ceiling on the price someone is willing to pay for caring, and you probably reached it. But I have to wonder if what you mean by “not caring what others think” really means that you no longer are going give a flying flip about judgment. If so, it is a perfectly understandable response and defense to preserve your own opinions and ideas. As a popular public personality, I am sure the voices of dissent can get pretty damn loud if common, general population sees you bucking the status quo. So loud that it is difficult to hear the ones of endorsement. I imagine they whirl together and create quite the cacophony which might make it difficult to remember what it was you were even thinking in the first place. To make it all just stop, I can see where you might completely withdraw or SCREAM so it will quiet down enough for you to think again. Being so loved is a doubled edged sword and so many famous people will tell you. You have to find a way to turn off the negativity that invariably comes with being known. There will always be detractors, people who get their kicks by pissing on parades, who love nothing more than to see someone scorch the whole earth trying to eliminate them. They would gleefully dance in the streets if someone burned their house to the ground just trying to get rid of termites.
This isn’t to say that the only thing you want is the accolades and adoration, but it is to say that those are perhaps the only thing you should open yourself up to. There is nothing wrong with that. You don’t do anything to hurt anyone. You aren’t an ax murderer so negative judgment should be moot. You are simply someone who is trying to live her life the best way she knows how. Trial and error just like the rest of us, but the difference is you’ve bravely lived your life on display for the benefit for the community at large so they might learn from your mistakes and triumphs, victories and defeats. When you were low on energy to spare, your guest writers filled in by offering their own. Sure, not all the guest writers turned out to be sterling, but at least you gave them the chance. Chalk it up to experience and use what you learned to move forward and onward. It might be difficult to screen writers, (just how do you do it?), so if you decide to take CCL into a new direction, it might help to start off with the best intentions and find a way to laugh when things don’t go as well as planned. Public Demand can weigh heavy on a caring woman like you, so I’m totally on board with your approach of doing it for yourself as long as it feels good, and setting fire to it if it ever doesn’t. | {

In this article top dating coaches and experts will be telling you what you father never told you about being nice to women. Lets dive into it now.
Carlos Xuma Shares His Take On Being Nice To Women
Nice guys, unfortunately, are guilty of really just lacking the ability to bring out their masculine confidence. The bad boy is different than a jerk. A jerk is the guy that’s taking things way too far; he’s kind of going over the edge. He has some of the same attraction qualities, some of the things that women enjoy, but unfortunately he attracts some of the women that guys want to avoid, which are the women who have their own issues. So there’s a big difference there. But nice guys can be using the bad boy edge of their personality without having to act like jerks. It’s simply a little bit of social calibration.
The fact is that 99% of all the nice guys I’ve ever coached or counseled they can’t go that way. It’s very difficult to go from a nice guy to a total jerk. It’s so hard because the nice guy is, by his nature, nice. He has a conscience. He has, I should say, the compass that’s pointing him towards being a good guy, and not a jerk. So it’s not something that most guys have to worry about. And if you’re always staying authentic and connected to who you are as a man, it’s even less of a concern. Because again, you’re grounding yourself with your sense of masculinity, and that’s really what women pick up on as being this bad boy edge.
Christian Hudson On Why Women Are Attracted To Bad Boys
Well with nice guys, the reason those guys are nice guys is usually they prioritize other people’s needs above their own. Bad boys prioritize their own needs above those of other people. And the reason that’s often attractive to women is because that appears to be confidence. In some, the line between confidence and arrogance is very thin. Confidence is based on recognition of one’s true value. Arrogance is based on the representation of one’s value even if it’s not based on anything that’s there. And a lot of bad boys are basically arrogant and project that, “Hey, my way or the highway.” And people, especially women, are looking for leaders in their lives or people who are convinced about themselves and about who they are.
You don’t have to be a jerk, but you do have to be assertive, and you have to set your own boundaries. This has come up so many times in my relationships where I’m dating somebody and they cross the boundary. It could be that they say something offensive or do something in public that’s embarrassing to me and I say, “Hey, listen. I’m not putting up with that. That’s not how people in my life treat me, and, you know, you’re in or you’re out.” So it’s really all about establishing what you want, prioritizing that first and foremost, and allowing yourself to go after it. And the final point to this is that what you want is inclusive of wanting to kiss her, wanting to be with her.
But ultimately jerks, the one thing they do that nice guys don’t do is they go after what they want and they’re assertive about it. So I think that’s where it all starts, just going after what you want, being assertive and setting boundaries that are important for you and give you the strength to bring people in and let people go according to your own whims and your own life.
David Wygant On Why You Should Never Be A Bad Guy
You are never going to be a bad boy, so get rid of that thought. You don’t know how to be a jerk. You don’t know how to be an ass. You don’t know how to be that type of person, but what you know how to be is honest. You know how to wear your heart on your sleeve. You know how to communicate with people. You know how to be nice. And what life is about is chemistry. Do you really want that woman who is attracted to the bad boy just because she looks hot? The reason why she is attracted to the guy that treats her like shit is because she feels lousy about herself, so do you want to be around women that you have to abuse mentally and maybe even abuse physically? Do you really want that dynamic in your life? Do you desire that just because she’s hot? That’s your penis talking, OK? That’s all it is.
There are so many women out there who are gorgeous and beautiful who want a real man: a man that’s sensitive. I’m not talking about crying on a date. I’m talking about a man who can wear his heart on his sleeve; a man who is open and honest, a man who goes after what he wants and knows what he wants and doesn’t care what people think. That to me is a nice guy. These so-called player types – all they’re getting is low self-esteemed women because technically, they have low self-esteem themselves.
Dean Cortez On Why Nice Guys Fail To Attract Women
Many times the nice guys are the ones who have the biggest agendas. The reason why they’re being so nice and trying to be a girl’s friend and trying to be the harmless buddy is because they want to fuck the girl the same as any other guy wants to fuck the girl. But the nice guy tries to go about it in sort of a roundabout way. He tries to fool the girl into thinking that he’s just her friend. He doesn’t have any other intentions and he’s hoping that, at some point, she’ll realize this guy is the right guy for her to be dating. It never works out that way. While the nice guy is being the sympathetic listener and being her shoulder to cry on, she’s going on and banging the bad boys. We’ve all been in that situation and it sucks.
None of us want to be a creep. No one in this community teaches guys how to manipulate women or how to abuse them and take advantage of them. But what you want to be is a good guy, a guy with a solid character and integrity, but a guy who has a bit of a bad boy edge. And by a bad boy edge, a guy who is independent, who is opinionated, who makes decisions and who has a full exciting lifestyle going on with or without women.
I have a whole program actually called “The Bad Boy Blueprint” that really breaks this down and shows guys how to integrate this bad boy edge into their whole game. But one thing to remember here is that bad boys also are not afraid to sexualize the conversation. There is no mistaking when a bad boy is talking to a girl that he is attracted to her, he is letting her know, he’s giving off signals and he’s flirting.
It’s important to flirt with women. You can’t always be the harmless buddy. You’ve got to sexualize the conversation, and this is all about knowing how to escalate both physically and verbally. When you see a guy at a bar who is really good with women, a guy who has really strong game, after five or ten minutes of talking to that girl, there is no mistaking the fact that he is trying to sleep with her. And he’s getting her in a playful, fun and flirtatious mood. He is picking her up. And if he is doing his job correctly, then she loves every minute of it, because women go out to be picked up. The problem is that so few guys understand how to flip a woman’s attraction switches and have her stay out of that that silly friend zone and sexualize the interaction and take it towards the result that both of them want, which is sex, fun, good times, and maybe a relationship.
John Alanis On Why You Should Never Be A Nice Guy
I am actually pretty harsh on nice guys because to me they are just as manipulative as the jerks are. More so maybe, because they have a certain expectation of what women should respond to, and they seek to impose that will on them and become frustrated and bitter when women don’t respond to that. So to me, that always is as bad as the manipulative jerk who is good at creating attraction, but in the end we find has no mysteries at all. So what you have to understand with the nice guy is that there are certain sets of behaviors that create attraction with women and a certain set of behaviors that kills attraction in women.
If you look at the bad boy or a jerk, what you can do is you can distill from him those behaviors that create attraction, while removing those dysfunctional behaviors, such as being mean, mistreating women, physical abuse, and all that type of stuff. So the reason that women gravitate to bad boys and jerks is that elusive feeling of chemistry with them. And they’re willing to pay the price of having all the bad stuff happen as opposed to being with the boring, nice guy who they feel as much attraction to as they do a cardboard box. So you have to realize that as a nice guy you have to engage in those behaviors: being naughty, funny, playful, or teasing to make her feel that chemistry that she craves without the dysfunctional behaviors.
But if you look at the traditional nice guy behaviors of being sweet, kind, sensitive, respectful – those won’t make a woman feel anything that she wants. | {

Fremontodendron californicum
Fremontodendron californicum, with the common names California flannelbush, California fremontia, and flannel bush, is a flowering shrub native to diverse habitats in southwestern North America.
Distribution
Fremontodendron californicum is found in numerous habitats across California at elevations of , especially California chaparral and woodlands, Yellow Pine Forests, and Pinyon-juniper woodlands along the eastern San Joaquin Valley. It is found along the eastern San Joaquin Valley in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada in chalky, sandy, nutritionally poor soils; on the east slope Cascade Range foothills of the northwest Sacramento Valley and the Klamath Mountains to the west; the California Coast Ranges throughout the state; the Transverse Ranges, and the Peninsular Ranges.
It is also found in small, isolated populations in the mountains of central and western Arizona, in the Arizona transition zone-Mogollon Rim region, primarily in the Mazatzal Mountains and Superstition Mountains. It is also found from central to northern Baja California state, in isolated chaparral locales in the Peninsular Ranges.
Description
The plant is a flowering evergreen hardwood shrub or small multi-trunked tree, growing from in height and in width.
The leaves are olive to gray−green, fuzzy and flannel-like, palmately to pinnately lobed. The hairs covering the leaves are easily brushed off in human contact, and can be a skin and eye irritant.
The large flowers are in diameter, a rich yellow, sometimes with orange, coppery, or reddish margins. They blossoms are borne in great showy masses, and tend to bloom one at a time. Each petal has an attractive, curved shape that comes to a point.
Taxonomy
Fremontodendron californicum is one of three species in the genus Fremontodendron, the others being Fremontodendron mexicanum and Fremontodendron decumbens.
Former subspecies
Subspecies have formerly included:
Fremontodendron californicum ssp. decumbens — Pine Hill flannelbush: reclassified as Fremontodendron decumbens (R. Lloyd).
A decumbent and low spreading form, in height and in width, has yellow-orange flowers, and is endemic to the Sierra Nevada foothills, nearly all of the individuals of this subspecies are found in the Pine Hill Ecological Reserve in El Dorado County. In nature it only grows in metal-rich gabbro soil, a red weathered soil of volcanic origin. It requires fire for seed germination, but as the nature reserve is near human settlements fire ecology is suppressed. It is a federally listed endangered species.
Fremontodendron californicum ssp. californicum — California fremontia: now reclassified as the species, Fremontodendron californicum.
Fremontodendron californicum ssp. napensis — Napa Fremontia: The current Jepson does not recognize this subspecies, using Fremontodendron californicum, but the form is different enough that it is horticulturally recognized by this name. It is typically smaller and more open in form than the species, with much smaller leaves and flowers. It grows in height and in width.
Uses
Medicinal
As a traditional Native American medicinal plant, the inner bark's sap that was used as a topical remedy for mucous membrane irritation and for gastrointestinal upset, by some of the indigenous peoples of California. The wood was also used by the Californian Yokut and Kawaiisu peoples as a building and furniture material, and the bark for cordage and for nets used in acorn cache holding and snare hunting.
Cultivation
Fremontodendron californicum is cultivated as an ornamental plant by specialty plant nurseries, for planting in native plant, drought tolerant, and wildlife gardens, and in natural landscaping and habitat restoration projects.
Cultivated plants need good drainage, and no supplemental summer water when established. Fremontodendron californicum ssp. decumbens is the most garden tolerant of all Fremontia, and can also be used in large pots and planters.
Hybrids
There are several named hybrids of Fremontodendron californicum and F. mexicanum in the horticultural trade, they include:
Fremontodendron 'California Glory' — lemon-yellow flowers with a reddish tinge, grows in height by in width. It is the winner of the Award of Garden Merit from the California Horticultural Society in 1965, and received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1967.
Fremontodendron 'Ken Taylor' — golden flowers with a darker orange outside petals in the spring and summer, and grows to only in height by in width.
Fremontodendron 'Dara's Gold' — golden flowers over a long period from late winter through early summer, grows in height by in width. A hybrid between Fremontodendron decumbens and Fremontodendron mexicanum.
Fremontodendron 'San Gabriel' — in height by in width, suitable for an espalier.
Etymology
Fremontodendron is named for Major General John Charles Frémont (1813–90), an explorer of western North America. Californicum means 'from California'.

Magdallan
Magdallan (later known as Magdalen), was an American Christian metal supergroup, originally started in 1990, as a studio project and collaboration between Ken Tamplin and Lanny Cordola. The band was active from 1990 to 1995, released 2 albums and an EP, and was signed to Intense Records and Essential Records respectively.
History
The band's original lineup was Ken Tamplin, Lanny Cordola, Brian Bromberg, and Ken Mary. After the first album Ken Tamplin departed and Phillip Bardowell took over vocal duties. Chuck Wright would later replace Bromberg for the Magdalen releases.
Magdallan's lineup led to the group being referred to as a supergroup. Ken Tamplin was well known for his work in Shout. Lanny Cordola, Chuck Wright, Ken Mary were previously well known for being members of the group House of Lords.
Big Bang
The band's first release, Big Bang, was notable as one of the most expensive Christian albums produced by that time, with a budget reported as being $250,000, and the album faced some criticism for being overproduced. Nevertheless, Big Bang was nominated for one GMA Dove Award for Best Metal/Hard Rock Album in 1992, but did not win.
Ken Tamplin's departure
After the first album was released, Tamplin left the band. Tamplin commented that he felt the need for a fresh start after he learned that Intense Records had planned to shelve the Big Bang album after two years of hard work. After Tamplin's departure, the studio project of Magdallan was turned into a full band and thus the name was changed from Magdallan to Magdalen.
Name change
After Ken Tamplin left the band, the name was changed to Magdalen for the second release Revolution Mind and The Dirt EP. In 1999 a compilation album, End of the Age was released under the old name spelling. The significance of the name change is signification of the difference between the studio project and the band. Magdallan is the name of the studio project, and Magdalen is the name of the band that continued after Ken Tamplins departure.

Kodachrome, subtitled “Art.Film.Analog.Culture”, is an 84 page magazine created by Kodak focussing on (largely) analogue creativity.
Opening with an article titled “Seeking Slow”, the new quarterly magazine, Kodachrome, sets the tone of Issue One. Extolling as it does, the virtues of the often slow nature of analogue the article talks about opposing the “all-you-can-eat buffet” of modern consumer culture.
Nevertheless, in doing so, Kodachrome sits outside of the battleground between analogue and digital (thankfully); and instead sets up an arena for those passionate about all things creative to share their passion and their interests.
All of this with a heavy leaning towards analogue forms of media.One surprise I had, (and something I noticed very quickly as I flicked through the contents and pages looking for it) was the minimal amount of articles on still film photography. The only really dedicated photography section is a 10 page advert-article for the Kodak Ektra (read Ektra, not Ektar), Kodak’s relatively new ‘camera-first smartphone’. This in it’s self was another surprise, in a magazine celebrating creativity and all things analogue, it does seem out of place, both in content (photos and details of a digital smart phone camera) and in style (basically an advert).Thankfully, this is the only overt advertisement in the issue. Also, that said it does not really detract from the overall enjoyable magazine.Having been a bit concerned about the lack of film Photography, I reached out on Twitter to Joshua M Coon, editor of Kodachrome to ask him about this. He was more than happy to talk, and this is what he said:“We are definitely planning to do more content around film photography in the future. It will be a prominent part of each issue and there will be more image galleries coming up in future issues as well. We want to cover all the exciting things happening in analogue culture right and film photography is right at the heart of it now”“Issue three will start showcasing work shot by the film photography community so there will be opportunities for images from the global community to have images appear in the magazine.”So, it sounds like from issue three there will be plenty of film photography to enjoy!Regardless of the fact that I had hoped for film photography content, I really enjoyed the magazine. Across a broad range of content, Kodachrome shares detailed personal stories that are alike mainly in the interviewees passion with analog creativity. From motion picture film makers using Super 8, to band poster creators. From a celebration of the increase in independent magazine publishing, to an ode to the colour yellow.Some Articles I particularly enjoyed were:
Max McSimov who dedicates 50 feet of super 8 film to capture folk and country songs around the U.S.
Helen Gilchrist’s exploration of the increasing health of the Independent magazine publishing scene.
Lost in Color, by Clare Howdle
In all, Kodachrome is a very nicely put together, and well thought out magazine. It emphasises print, independent publishing and film. I enjoyed it even though I had purchased it simply for film photography, a topic it doesn’t yet feature.
If you want a magazine focussed on most things analogue, get a copy. If you are looking for film photography only, maybe hold out for now. I look forward to future issues, especially issue three onwards.

ROOOOAR THAT'S IT I NEED TO COME THIS YEAR ANDAND I'MMA' DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GO RAWRAWRAWRHmmm... I should like be N or something. *shot* I couldn't pull of a good N. He's so sexyyyyy. ANYWAY I wanna' be someone from the 5th gen butbut like SERPERIOR<3333 SUCH A HARD COSPLAY TO MAKE. Maybe Snivy instead.
OMG!!!!!!!! I havent seen you in so long! Please say youre going to Fanime this year!!!! D:< If not I'll be upset!
No... At least I don't think so... Our town has it's own convention now and I can only go to that. :/ I really wish I could! I want to flaunt my Time Gear Thief Grovyle cosplay! I'll send you a picture and you can present it at the gathering in my honour. lol!
*siiiiiiiiiiigh* There's no hope for me to go this year. Such a bummer. That weekend is gonna' suck. Ohwell, but everyone else, be sure to have extra fun for me! (LULUU YOU SHOULD CALL ME LIKE ALL DAY ON SATURDAY.)
NOOOOOO!!!! I'm gonna cry D: If you really want to, I can convince my parents to let you stay over my house so you can go at least two days xD I REALLY hope you can come D: It wont be the same >_<
Heh, that'd be awesome. But my mom is like ultra paranoid because she doesn't know you. She freaked out when you sent me my Saturn keychain thing. She needs to calm down. I wanna' go so bad. I've been planning so much. And then POOF.Ah well, let's give it time and see what happens.
I'm upset to say that due to personal events that have occurred within the past few weeks, I'm unable to attend FanimeCon this year. What a bummer. I'll try to beg the 'rents the closer the con gets but for now I won't be able to go. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Don't carry ALL your spending money with you at one time (or don't have it accessible). Split it out to what you think you'll spend during the day and hide the rest (you may surprise yourself at your thriftiness and be able to treat yourself at the end of day/con) either in your room or in your bag (like that secret pocket).
^This is a biggy.Watch your impulse buying too. It could really bum you out. *experience*
Sorry I've been so flakey D: Thank you, Knucker for helping out in my absense. I've been having.... a lot of difficulties right now and my cosplay group is falling apart. So while I get this under control again, I'll need to take things slow. Thank you SO much for your help. I'll start updating as soon as possible.
Thank you again,
Lulu ~~
Don't worry Luluu. Try to keep your group together and I'll keep things updated and in order here as much as I can, since I don't focus on anything else. You get everything squared away. c:
I suppose it is for now. Ha ha. The actual person who's running the gathering has been very busy lately and she can't update. And since I'm second in command I'll try to help to the best of my ability.And the closer Fanime gets, the more lively this thread should get. c: | {

A variety of parallel optical communications modules exist for simultaneously transmitting and/or receiving multiple optical data signals over multiple respective optical data channels. Parallel optical transmitter modules have multiple optical transmit channels for transmitting multiple respective optical data signals simultaneously over multiple respective optical waveguides (e.g., optical fibers). Parallel optical receiver modules have multiple optical receive channels for receiving multiple respective optical data signals simultaneously over multiple respective optical waveguides. Parallel optical transceiver modules have multiple optical transmit and receive channels for transmitting and receiving multiple respective optical transmit and receive data signals simultaneously over multiple respective transmit and receive optical waveguides.
The transmit (Tx) portion of a parallel optical transmitter or transceiver module includes a laser driver circuit and an array of laser diodes. The laser driver circuit outputs an electrical drive signal to each respective laser diode to cause the respective laser diode to be modulated. When the laser diode is modulated, it outputs optical signals that have power levels corresponding to logic 1s and logic 0s. An optics system of the optical transceiver or transmitter module focuses the optical signals produced by each respective laser diode into the end of a respective transmit optical fiber held within an optical connector module that mates with a receptacle of the optical transceiver module.
The receive (Rx) portion of a parallel optical receiver or transceiver module includes at least an array of receive photodiodes that receive incoming optical signals output from the ends of respective receive optical fibers held in an optical connector module that mates with a receptacle of the optical receiver or transceiver module. The optics system of the transceiver or receiver module focuses the light that is output from the end of each receive optical fiber onto the respective receive photodiode. The respective receive photodiode converts the incoming optical signal into an electrical analog signal. An electrical detection circuit, such as a transimpedance amplifier (TIA), receives the electrical signal produced by the receive photodiode and outputs a corresponding amplified electrical signal, which is processed by other circuitry of the RX portion to recover the data.
In most parallel optical communications modules, the receptacle with which the optical connector module mates constitutes an electromagnetic interference (EMI) open aperture that allows EMI to escape from the housing of the parallel optical communications module. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set standards that limit the amount of electromagnetic radiation that may emanate from unintended sources. For this reason, a variety of techniques and designs are used to shield EMI open apertures in module housings in order to limit the amount of EMI that passes through the apertures. Various metal shielding designs and resins that contain metallic material have been used to cover areas from which EMI may escape from the housings. So far, such techniques and designs have had only limited success, especially with respect to parallel optical communications modules that transmit and/or receive data at very high data rates (e.g., 10 gigabits per second (Gbps)).
For example, EMI collars are often used with pluggable optical communications modules to provide EMI shielding. The EMI collars in use today vary in construction, but generally include a band portion that is secured about the exterior of the transceiver module housing and spring fingers having proximal ends that attach to the band portion and distal ends that extend away from the proximal ends. The spring fingers are periodically spaced about the collar. The spring fingers have folds in them near their distal ends that cause the distal ends to be directed inwards toward the transceiver module housing and come into contact with the housing at periodically-spaced points on the housing. At the locations where the folds occur near the distal ends of the spring fingers, the outer surfaces of the spring fingers are in contact with the inner surface of the cage at periodically spaced contact points along the inner surface of the cage. Such EMI collar designs are based on Faraday cage principles.
The amount of EMI that passes through an EMI shielding device is proportional to the largest dimension of the largest EMI open aperture of the EMI shielding device. Therefore, EMI shielding devices such as EMI collars and other devices are designed to ensure that there is no open aperture that has a dimension that exceeds the maximum allowable EMI open aperture dimension associated with the frequency of interest. For example, in the known EMI collars of the type described above, the spacing between the locations at which the distal ends of the spring fingers come into contact with the inner surface of the cage should not exceed one quarter wavelength of the frequency of interest that is being attenuated. Even greater attenuation of the frequency of interest can be achieved by making the maximum EMI open aperture dimension significantly less than one quarter of a wavelength, such as, for example, one eighth or one tenth of a wavelength. However, the ability to decrease this spacing using currently available manufacturing techniques is limited. In addition, as the frequency of optical communications modules increases, this spacing needs to be made smaller in order to effectively shield EMI, which becomes increasingly difficult or impossible to achieve at very high frequencies.
In general, all of the current techniques of providing EMI shielding in optical communications modules attempt to ensure that there are no EMI open apertures that have dimensions that exceed the maximum allowable EMI open aperture dimension. As indicated above, as the frequencies or bit rates of optical communications modules continue to increase (i.e., wavelengths continue to decrease), it becomes extremely difficult or impossible to effectively implement these types of solutions. Accordingly, a need exists for an EMI shielding system and a method that do not rely solely on such techniques and that provide an effective EMI shielding solution in optical communications modules. | {

The Role of Social and Interpersonal Factors in Placebo Analgesia.
Placebo effects are beneficial clinical outcomes that emerge as a result of nonspecific contextual factors, transmitted primarily by the treating physician and the social, physical, and behavioral cues he or she displays. The patient-provider therapeutic alliance is critical for determining placebo effects and health outcomes. In this chapter, we review the recent literature, suggesting that provider social characteristics modulate placebo and clinical outcomes. We highlight the importance of studying not only the provider but also the patient's perception of the provider, which is subject to the influence of the patient's psychosocial orientation, such as their psychosocial motivations and perceptions of their interpersonal relationships broadly. We argue that psychosocial orientation can exaggerate the influence of the patient-provider relationship on placebo effects and can directly affect the likelihood of placebo effects emerging by modulating the underlying biological systems that support them. Here, we examine patient loneliness, or perceived social isolation, as a case example for understanding how patients' psychosocial orientation may affect placebo effects across diseases. We propose psychosocial mechanisms by which loneliness might modulate placebo effects across medical outcomes, and focus in particular on how loneliness might specifically alter behaviorally conditioned immune responses and placebo analgesia. Future studies should directly measure social factors to formally test the effects of social isolation on placebo effects and better elucidate the role of psychosocial and interpersonal factors in placebo effects and clinical outcomes. | {

Ask Son what the MSM would say about the one who did not respond to lies, taunts, jeers?
Ask Son what does he imagine the headlines would say?
OR
Tell Son if he does not know the answer that the one who tells the most lies and makes the most fun of the other wins the election.
Tell him that the crowd (and reporters) will assume that the one who does not respond to the insults and lies is a coward and less of a man. They will not choose the one who does not respond as their leader.
It may be illogical or irrational, but it is the way the world works. It’s called “politics” and appears every time you have a group of males.

How to use Twitter for your business
Repost of Twitter’s Lindsay Logan (@wingersf), Small Business Team
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
There is some fantastic content here. Instead of “wasting time” recreating content, I know that time is of the essence to get valuable information out to those in need – YOU. From small business teams, non-profits and start-ups, we get it. Resources are key. AND you can’t pay guys like us for everything.
One of the best ways to learn about marketing on Twitter is through real examples from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Recently, we spoke with a group of these companies about how they use Twitter as a business tool, the results they’ve seen, and their tips for success.
We partnered with research firm DB5 to survey 1100 SMB owners and employees in the U.S. Those surveyed work on their company’s digital marketing strategy, and are active Twitter users and advertisers. Visual.ly helped us create an infographic to detail the full survey results, which revealed that SMBs see Twitter as an effective marketing tool that enables them to accomplish their advertising goals.

Interestingly, two-thirds (66%) of respondents believe that they have not yet fully maximized their Twitter presence. As a result, we’ve created a number of educational tools to help SMBs best leverage Twitter:
Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of Twitter, you can also use Twitter Ads to better connect with your target audience and amplify your organic strategy. Learn more about how Twitter Ads can help your business here.

Urinary and Rectal Toxicity Profiles After Permanent Iodine-125 Implant Brachytherapy in Japanese Men: Nationwide J-POPS Multi-institutional Prospective Cohort Study.
To assess, in a nationwide multi-institutional cohort study begun in 2005 and in which 6927 subjects were enrolled by 2010, the urinary and rectal toxicity profiles of subjects who enrolled during the first 2 years, and evaluate the toxicity profiles for permanent seed implantation (PI) and a combination therapy with PI and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Baseline data for 2339 subjects out of 2354 patients were available for the analyses. Toxicities were evaluated using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, and the International Prostate Symptom Scores were recorded prospectively until 36 months after radiation therapy. Grade 2+ acute urinary toxicities developed in 7.36% (172 of 2337) and grade 2+ acute rectal toxicities developed in 1.03% (24 of 2336) of the patients. Grade 2+ late urinary and rectal toxicities developed in 5.75% (133 of 2312) and 1.86% (43 of 2312) of the patients, respectively. A higher incidence of grade 2+ acute urinary toxicity occurred in the PI group than in the EBRT group (8.49% vs 3.66%; P<.01). Acute rectal toxicity outcomes were similar between the treatment groups. The 3-year cumulative incidence rates for grade 2+ late urinary toxicities were 6.04% versus 4.82% for the PI and the EBRT groups, respectively, with no significant differences between the treatment groups. The 3-year cumulative incidence rates for grade 2+ late rectal toxicities were 0.90% versus 5.01% (P<.01) for the PI and the EBRT groups, respectively. The mean of the postimplant International Prostate Symptom Score peaked at 3 months, but it decreased to a range that was within 2 points of the baseline score, which was observed in 1625 subjects (69.47%) at the 1-year follow-up assessment. The acute urinary toxicities observed were acceptable given the frequency and retention, and the late rectal toxicities were more favorable than those of other studies. | {

This Band Dedicated the Next Song to Old-School Fans Only So I Guess I’ll Just Go Fuck Myself Then
Holy shit, this show has been great! I’m so happy to be here. Nothing beats a night out and some awesome live music. I’m really feeling the vibe, these guys are ripping! But this band just dedicated the next song to old-school fans only so I guess I’ll just go fuck myself then …
When I got into this band last year, I was thrilled to see they had such a large back catalog. I bought every record and I’ve been listening to them almost exclusively all year. It’s just a shame I wasn’t born 20 years earlier so I could have of discovered them early enough to listen to this next song, but I wasn’t. So, apparently I can go fuck myself.
I guess I could run to the bathroom? I got here three hours early to get a great spot right in front of the stage and I’ve been holding my pee all night. But at the same time, I didn’t get into this band early enough so I clearly have no right to be here. Is that guy looking at me like he knows I’m not an old-school fan? Shit, I feel like people can tell.
Maybe I should just buy some of their merch during this song since it’s clearly not meant for ears as green as mine. I thought this vintage shirt from their 1995 tour that I paid through the nose for on Ebay and got signed by each member of the band might give me some fan credibility, but it seems like if the band had it their way I would be stripped of all my clothes and whipped for my inability to buy albums with parental advisory stickers when I was five.
Damn, I really like this song too. This sucks. Maybe I’ll take this time to get another beer? The bar would probably appreciate it too since I appear to be the only one here old enough to drink. I’m kinda surprised all these other people cheered when the singer said “old-school” fans. It’s so cool their parents played this band’s songs while they were in the womb. I guess my parents can go fuck themselves too.
Wasn’t this song a huge radio hit? Wasn’t it also used in a movie soundtrack and featured on a bunch of video games? Man, I wish I heard it before all that so I could enjoy this moment right now. But it was made clear, this song is not for me to enjoy. I have to abide by the band’s wishes, I don’t want to upset them anymore than I already have. I love these guys and if they need me to fuck off for a few minutes, I guess that’s what I’ll do. | {

The diagnosis and treatment of male infertility in the new millennium.
Treatment of male infertility accomplished far-reaching advances in the past decade. Semen analysis has given rise to sperm function tests. Microsurgery, e.g., reversal of vasectomy, has reached new heights in sperm retrieval directly from the testis/epididymis and in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Furthermore, genetic testing-for an ever-widening range of anomalies-is the norm in modern clinical practice. This review of what is possible, and now even common, in male infertility treatment focuses on sperm function, and then deficits/anomalies and their treatment; and testicular function and dysfunction, with descriptions of hormonal and surgical techniques that now offer fatherhood to men with types of infertility that strongly imply the need for genetic counseling. | {

A Beary Good Time
When her royal Highness, er, Catherine asked me to blogsit for her today, it was all I could do to trip over myself and take her up on her offer before she realized the error of her ways and rescinded the invitation. After all, this is the HBM. I'm just a trashy redneck. This isn't an opportunity that is going to roll around every damn day.
I'm taking the keys she dangled before me and rolling around nekkid in her carpets. Gotta mark my territory you know. It's my only chance. I'll refrain from rifling through her panty drawer though. I'm going to try and conduct myself with a little bit of decorum around here. Class myself up a bit and hope it takes.
But I couldn't resist from temptation completely. I had to take a quick peak into her closets. After getting an eyeful of all the different costumes dangling in there, I quickly realized I was out of my league and tried to wipe the image of Catherine in a nun's habit with a whip and stilettos from my mind.
Life is too short to be carrying that image around all damn day.
My life span was already significantly shortened this past weekend when I had my husband's entire clan camp out on my doorstep for two days. I'm still recovering.
Oh sure, they are nice enough people. Clever, kind and they always bring truck loads of liquor with them. (They are thoughtful guests.) But while they are bending their elbows and pouring their next cocktails, I'm running with around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to keep the oodles of kiddies they brought with them from falling into a dugout or a fire pit.
Four feet wide and three feet deep. It seemed like a good idea BEFORE we had kids. Now it's just a heart attack waiting to happen.
My sister-in-law is none too thrilled that her youngest child has no eyelashes or brows after they were singed off by the heat of the mostrous inferno my husband created. While she and I and a few others were discussing the merits of white wine vs. red, her husband and mine were to be watching the kiddies to make sure no one fell into the fiery pit of flames.
I guess we should have specified to make sure the the kids weren't standing close enough to have their faces melted off. Stupid me.
Boo and his brother figure the kid didn't need eyelashes any ways. He was starting to look too pretty with them. They fixed that for him.
Sigh.
Then there was the lovely moment when my niece came tearing out from the bush screaming like some pedophile with a sharp knife was chasing her. As I was gnawing on my corn, she happened to stumble upon a wasp's nest. Luckily for her, she was only stung twice. But as she raced up the steps I noticed her pants were covered with wasps trying to burrow in. She had three in her crotch area alone. I called for Boo while trying to convince her to quickly take off her pants without drawing attention that her lady parts would soon be under attack if she didn't get those pants. off. right. now.
The nest that was right under our deck, beneath the front door. We never thought to check the bushes for ground nests. Dumb asses.
I shouldn't have mentioned her pants. I should have just whipped them right off of her. As soon as I mentioned her pants she looked down, saw the swarm of wasps covering her legs and freaked right the fuck out.
Good times.
And my dog snitched my corncob while I was dealing with the crisis. Bastard.
Later in the evening, when just about everyone had been maimed by a small stinging demon sent from hell, we started to set up the tent for the kiddies. All of a sudden, Nixon, the World's Greatest Dog, Ever. and the neighbour's Rottweiler started to freak out. I looked down and noticed both dogs' hair was standing on end. Like cats on crack.
Suddenly, this mosied on out of the bush:
HOLY MOTHER OF GAWD...Get the kids!!! NOW!!!
It's one thing to joke about the kids being bear bait; it's quite another to dangle their plump little bodies in front the gaping snouts of hungry beasts.
Turns out the pair were just moving through, on their way to greener pastures, so to speak. But suddenly this meant there would be no tent setting up, no kids sleeping out under the great night sky, and no room to move in my already full house. I had bodies every where, even one sleeping in the bath tub.
I fucking love entertaining.
Oh, it wasn't all bad. The booze was good. We bonded with all the children. We gossiped with the adults and told inappropriate jokes while looking furtively around for any little ears that may be around.
We played a family friendly game of Red Rover, where we took out all of our parental frustrations out on the kiddies. We adults may have got carried away. As demonstrated when my daughter was called over and she chose to try and break through between her daddy and her uncle.
Being the grown, mature men they are, they clothes-lined the poor girl, catching her right under her chin and sending her flying. They somehow managed to catch some of her hair in the process and while my daughter lay gasping for air on the ground, one could see wisps of her long, blonde hair floating through the air.
Thank God the adoption peoples weren't around to witness that.
Ahem.
In the end, we had six kids with wasp bites, one with a bruised windpipe, one slightly singed child, one partly concussed from when she fell down after walking around the slippery edge of the pool and banged her head, eight kids suffering from slight hypothermia from swimming in water 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees for you Yanks) because I had forgotten to turn on the pool heater before hand, one with gravel burns on his hands and knees from a fairly spectacular wipe out on my drive way after demonstrating how NOT to do a wheelie on a bike, all twelve kids psychologically traumatized from thinking they were about to be eaten alive when the bears arrived and one poor child who got a fairly deep sliver only to have a tipsy uncle wield a sewing needle and try and dig it out. I can still hear the poor kid's scream for mercy while the uncle told him to suck it up and quit moving.
Phenomenal weekend story! But where in bee-jeezers name do you live that you have a couple of black bears just passing through?! I guess the city girl in me comes out because I've only seen them at the zoo.
Your first mistake was ever acting competent in the first place. To this day, my mother in law brings a complete dinner for everyone whenever she comes to my house. Family members know they're welcome, but they also realize they're better off fending for themselves when they get here. Friends are a different story. We throw notoriously good parties because I quickly get too drunk to care who sets what on fire or to object when someone creates a riding-lawnmower race track around the perimeter. However, most of those guests wouldn't have much faith in me when it comes to performing good hostess duties like swatting wasps off their privates. And in case you're wondering, we don't allow kids at these parties :)
*about dies laughing* You do realize, after Boo's comment about my family reunion looking like one of yours that the bees you had were really hilarious to me. Sorry.. but so good to know I'm not the only one with that nightmare memory of the winged terrors.. although we had nothing so exciting as bears... unless you count hairy men... we had alot of those.
Dude.. Ug and I are needing a vacation... and Ug's an expert wasp/bee killer... | {

I’m at the airport in Milan, and will be leaving soon for the US. I am beyond ready to see my family, but I dread coming back to the idiotic sh*tstorm that is American public life. This Kavanaugh thing is off the charts.
I have been abroad for the past nine days. What I know about the accusation is from this Washington Post interview with Christine Blasey Ford, the accuser. If it’s true, it’s obviously horrible what drunken teenager Brett Kavanaugh did to her. She believes it was attempted rape.
But how can we know if it really happened? Ford says she told no one until the disclosed it to a therapist in 2012 — 30 years after the alleged incident. Kavanaugh denies it happened. How can we determine the truth of the matter after all these years?
Even if it happened as she says, should that kind of thing — as vile as it was — disqualify Kavanaugh? Maybe so, but this is by no means obvious to me. I am only a couple of years younger than Kavanaugh, and I was part of a heavy teenage drinking culture. I am certain that I never did anything like that — though maybe I did, and was too drunk to recall — but when I think about how much my crowd (boys and girls both) drank, and how stupid we got with sexual behavior under the influence, I am ashamed.
I remember one girl in my social circles who became a different person when she drank. It was Jekyll-Hyde stuff. When drunk, she was incredibly aggressive, sexually — and boys took advantage of that. I remember once being in a movie theater with her. She got very aggressive with a stranger she had just met, and when a couple of us tried to rescue her from herself, she became incredibly angry with us, and made a scene.
She was a really good person, but she could not handle alcohol. Few, if any of us, could. We were learning how to drink, and used alcohol to help us get over our anxieties about social relationships, especially sex. In my own case, my public high school drunkenness did not involve sexual escapades — I tried, but the amount of liquor it took for me to overcome my shyness also knocked me out. When I look back on it, it’s almost a miracle that nothing bad happened. The drinking age back then was 18 in Louisiana, and it was very, very easy to get booze. Unhappy memories of my own high school and college drinking affected the way I raised, and am raising, my own kids to think about alcohol.
I think we should be reluctant to hold teenage behavior against adults 35 years after the fact. I thought yesterday about a time when I was 15 — same age as Ford at the time of her alleged attack — and a group of 17 year old boys held me down in a hotel room on a school beach trip, and tried to take my pants off. Nobody was drunk; they were trying to impress their girlfriends, who were looking on. The two adult chaperones stepped over me, lying on the floor, pinned by the boys, to escape the room. The boys eventually let me up without taking my pants off, and I ran out.
That event lasted maybe one minute, but it affected the rest of my life. I never thought of it as sexual assault, until a few years ago, when, recalling to a friend how much that event affected my outlook on life, she said, “That was sexual assault. It was sexualized. They tried to take your pants off to humiliate you sexually.” Well, I guess so. I can see that, though we can at least say that it was in a murky zone. Anyway, it changed the way I saw the world. It made me very hostile to bullies. It has as much to do with anything else about why the anger in me burned so hot during the 2002-06 Catholic sex abuse scandal that it consumed my Catholic faith. What those boys did was not innocent. They couldn’t even claim alcohol as a contributing factor.
And yet, if one of those boys were nominated for high public office, I wouldn’t say a word about it. They never apologized, but the truth is, they probably remember none of it. Had they raped me, or crossed a line into what would obviously be sexual assault, I would of course feel very differently. Certainly that room was full of witnesses, and I could name six of them right now. Still, I can’t see the justice in using that event when we were all teenagers and using it to destroy a man’s career. If some of you would like to help me see the justice in doing so, I’m all ears. Seriously, help me to see what you see in the Kavanaugh thing. Because I don’t see how a 17-year-old drunken idiot pawing at a teenage girl tells us anything determinative about the character of a 53-year-old man up for a judgeship.
The #MeToo predators did it more than once. Again, I’m not up on all the reporting, but I have not seen that Kavanaugh has had any more reports of this kind of behavior. In fact, a number of women who have known him as an adult for years report that he has behaved as a considerate gentleman. For all we know now, if he did what he is accused of doing, it was a one-off, done in a moment of extreme drunkenness, when he was 17 years old.
Again: maybe that is disqualifying. I don’t see it, but I could be wrong. What ticks me off is that, judging from the social media conversation, to question whether or not it is disqualifying makes you an abetter of rape.
Here in Italy, I’ve had a number of conversations about the priest sex abuse scandal in the US. My position has been that it’s a very, very big deal, and ought to be treated as such. Many (though by no means all) Italians think we Americans are being puritanical about it. It’s not that they approve of clerical sexual misbehavior, it’s that they are not as scandalized by it. I think they ought to be. (Unlike the Kavanaugh case, these events involve unambiguous sexual assault, committed by adult men.) We have had frank but civil exchanges. We can talk about it without either of us assuming the other side is a monster.
I dipped briefly into Twitter and saw that I had become Harvey Himmlerstein for suggesting that the way people behave in high school, especially under the influence of drugs or alcohol, should not be a determinative factor in taking public office decades later. Someone said, “I hope you don’t have a daughter.”
I do have a daughter, and any body who had treated her like that would have had hell to pay from me … if she had told me about it at the time. If Kavanaugh did it, he ought to have had his ass whipped. But Ford did not inform her folks. See, I also have sons, and I shudder to think what a teenage drunken encounter gone bad might do to their lives over three decades later, if somebody dredged it up. Or what a mere uncorroborated allegation of an unwanted sexual encounter might do to them. I had a bad breakup once in college with a girl who was unstable and manipulative. What if she came out today and said oh, by the way, back in the mid-1980s, Rod Dreher tried to rape me? After all this time, how would I prove my innocence?
That said, I find it difficult to imagine why Ford would make all of this up. To me, the more difficult question is to what extent we are fair to hold a 17 year old morally responsible for an act like the one alleged (which was not rape; at worst, it was attempted rape — and this is a distinction with a difference). I think Mona Charen makes sense here:
There is also the question of responsibility. Is 17 too young to be held accountable for such behavior? It’s a close call, but in the end, it’s a question of character. It’s possible to imagine a 17-year-old behaving like a lout and then regretting it deeply and becoming a pillar of society. And it’s possible that a teenaged abuser was just getting started on a career of assault. Kavanaugh issued a blanket denial: “This is a completely false accusation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or anyone.” If he’s innocent, that’s obviously right and necessary. If he were guilty, and reformed, the awful act itself might be forgivable, if he acknowledged guilt. And if, God forbid, he’s lying, his entire reputation as a man of integrity totters. This is why it’s crucial to see whether this accusation is a one-off or part of a pattern. Everything we know about Kavanaugh — from his friends, colleagues, students, and community — suggests that he is not just a good guy, but an extraordinarily generous and upright person. He coaches girls’ basketball. He volunteers at homeless shelters. He’s a good husband. He tutors needy kids. He does minority outreach for law-school students. He attends church. Maybe it’s all a charade, but we should be loath to draw that conclusion without at least one more woman stepping up to recount a similar experience. Absent that, his whole adult life tips the scales far more than one uncorroborated accusation.
Anyway, what I hate is that we can’t talk about this stuff without being called a HATER WHO LOVES RAPEYNESS. Europeans really cannot figure out what they hell is going on in US popular culture. I found myself at a bar the other night with an American academic who was in town. He talked with me and a couple of Italians about American academic culture, and how terrifying it had become because you were just one accusation away — no matter how bizarre — from losing your job. Cultural politics have made professional life unbearable. The stories he told made me loath to consider the possibility that my own children — especially my sons — might go into academic life. You can be utterly destroyed on the basis of an accusation — if, that is, you belong to a despised class, and your accuser belongs to a favored one.
I am glad that Ford will have a chance to speak her mind, and that Kavanaugh will have the opportunity to defend himself. But I think this will only make things worse for all of us. If Kavanaugh gets a Senate vote, and prevails, he will forever be tainted as a Supreme Court justice. If he is forced to withdraw (that is, without further evidence against him emerging), or is voted down, he will become a martyr to many, and will, as the Wall Street Journal editorial page said, legitimize “weaponizing every sexual assault allegation no matter the evidence.”
ON THE OTHER HAND, I think this piece by Caitlin Flanagan, who endured as a teenage girl what Ford says she endured, is provocative and challenging. It ends like this:
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” I kept saying to him. “I forgive you, don’t worry.” It was a weird ambush of intense guilt and apology, and it was the wrong place and time—but the thing was, I really did forgive him. My life had moved on, and things were better. It felt good to get the apology and—as it always does—even better to forgive him. He’d done a terrible thing, but he’d done what he could to make it right. I held nothing against him, and I still don’t. | {

Virtually all of the many antineoplastic drugs that are currently used in the treatment of cancer have very serious and harmful side effects. This is because cancer is generally treated with medications that interfere with the growth of rapidly dividing cells. Such medications can inhibit the growth of the cancer cells, but they almost always also inhibit the growth of normal cells that divide rapidly in the body. Some of the normal tissues that divide very rapidly include bone marrow (which produces blood cells), hair follicles, and intestinal epithelium. The usefulness of virtually all antineoplastic drugs is severely limited by the damage they cause to these normal tissues.
This invention relates to methods for treating neoplasia using both a paclitaxel derivative (a common chemotherapeutic) and a cyclic GMP (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor to reduce the side effects or increase the efficacy of paclitaxel treatment. Paclitaxel derivatives (e.g., taxol) have been used to treat certain cancers, particularly ovarian and breast cancers in patients where at least first-line chemotherapy has failed. Under current practice, taxol therapy is typically used after first-line failure because taxol is so toxic and its side effects are so bad that the risks of the therapy outweigh the benefits until other chemotherapeutic options commonly have been exhausted.
The side effects of taxol include anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity reactions characterized by dyspnea and hypotension, angiodemia, and generalized urticaria. Side effects also include nausea and vomiting. However, the dose-limiting side effect of taxol is bone marrow suppression. Bone marrow produces blood cells. Taxol can lower the number of white blood cells that guard against infections, and lower the number of platelets that prevent bleeding. Still other side effects include neuropathy, joint and muscle pain or weakness, alopecia (or complete hair loss, which almost always occurs with taxol).
Investigators have reported that some of its side effects can be attenuated by the pre-medication of the cancer patient with a medication that eliminates or reduces hypersensitivity. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,670,537, the applicants reported that if a cancer patient is pretreated with a steroid or the like, the dose of taxol between 135 and 175 mg/m2 can be administered in about three hours. However, the Physicians"" Desk Reference warns that even in this mode of administration, taxol still causes side effects severe enough to warrant its discontinuation in some patientsxe2x80x94patients who already failed to respond to first-line therapy, of course. In other words, taxol is not recommended for first stage cancer therapy given its side effects.
Efforts have been made to improve paclitaxel, but those efforts have concentrated mainly in improving its administrability (e.g., developing more water-soluble forms of the medication). However, few, if any, investigators have reported a significantly better way to reduce the side effect of paclitaxel while maintaining its therapeutic effect, or to increase its therapeutic effect while not increasing the side effects.
This invention relates to an improved method of cancer therapy that involves treating a patient with both a paclitaxel derivative (e.g., taxol) and a cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. The specific PDE inhibitors useful for this invention are compounds that inhibit both PDE5 and the new cGMP-specific PDE described below. The novel cGMP-PDE is fully described by Liu, et al., in the copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/173,375, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,200,771, A Novel Cyclic GMP-Specific Phosphodiesterase And Methods For Using Same In Pharmaceutical Screening For Identifying Compounds For Inhibition Of Neoplastic Lesions. (For general PDE background, see, Beavo, J. A. (1995) Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases: functional implications of multiple isoforms. Physiological Reviews 75:725-747; web site less than http://weber.u.washington.edu/xcx9cpde/pde.html greater than (November 1998)).
In this invention, the cGMP-specific PDE inhibitor can be used in combination with paclitaxel in two ways. The first is a lower dosage methodology in which the traditionally recommended dose range of paclitaxel is decreased while its therapeutic effects are maintained and its side effects are attenuated. The second is a higher dosage methodology that utilizes the traditionally recommended dose range for paclitaxel and improves its activity without increasing its side effects.
With either methodology, paclitaxel is administered simultaneously or in succession with a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, preferably an inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases (xe2x80x9cPDExe2x80x9d) found in neoplastic cells, of which there are several. It is even more preferred that such an inhibitor have an inhibiting effect on at least several such PDEs, specifically PDE5 and a new cGMP specific phosphodiesterase found in neoplastic cells, which is described below.
In the low dose regime, paclitaxel is administered at doses less than 135 mg/m2 over a period of less than six hours. In the high dose regime, paclitaxel is administered at doses between about 135 and 175 mg/m2 over a period of less than six hours. | {

While Clinton’s demented reaction to Ghaddafi’s death was revealing, her actual contribution to it was not only immoral and illegal, it was treasonous.
Remember, it was Hillary Clinton, along with her State Department staff such as Susan Rice and Victoria Nuland who were out in front building up the case for war against Libya, a “UN Resolution,” and support for the terrorists attempting to overthrow the Libyan leader.
In fact, in an article entitled “Hillary’s War: How Conviction Replaced Skepticism In Libya Intervention,” the Washington Post’s Joby Warrick describes how Clinton provided yeomen’s service in the effort to build an “international coalition” against Libya and Ghaddafi and how she worked overtime to see to it that the nation with the highest living standards in Africa was reduced to a burning desert of rubble and savagery.[1]
Even the Huffington Post was forced to admit that Hillary Clinton was one of the main forces promoting the war in Libya, while also fairly pointing out that Clinton was one of many in the US State Department and other governing bodies who supported the same.[2]
Clinton would stop at no lengths to push the United States into yet another war. Clinton would even go so far as to give support to the propaganda line that Ghaddafi was using rape and sexual violence to intimidate and oppress Libyan women.[3]
Such a grandiose and idiotic claim – proven inaccurate on the ground – was only eclipsed in its absurdity by other claims coming from the Clinton State Department that Ghaddafi was handing out Viagra for this purpose.
Disgraced US Ambassador Susan Rice was the main purveyor of this myth.[4]
However, the hands of Hillary Clinton are dripping with Libyan blood. If Clinton is ever allowed to become President, those hands will no doubt be drenched with the blood of innocent civilians the world over.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - (Strong language in paragraph 8.)
Grammy-winning R&B singer R. Kelly on Tuesday denied sexual abuse charges against him and broke into tears while saying he was fighting for his life, according to interview excerpts released by CBS CBS.N television.
Kelly, 52, pleaded not guilty in February to charges that he sexually assaulted three teenage girls and a woman in alleged incidents dating back to 1998, weeks after a Lifetime television documentary leveled new accusations against him.
In his first interview since the indictment, “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King asked Kelly about allegations that he had sex with women under 18 and that he was physically and verbally abusive.
“Not true,” the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer responded in a clip of the interview played on the CBS Evening News. CBS also provided a transcript of the excerpts from the interview.
King, who spoke to Kelly in Chicago, his hometown, then asked if he had held anyone against his will. “I don’t need to. Why would I?” he said.
The singer grew angry and emotional as the interview went on, turning to make his argument directly to the camera. “That’s stupid. Use your common sense,” he said.
Slideshow ( 3 images )
“Forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me,” Kelly added. “Hate me if you want to, love me if you want. But just use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past.”
Pounding his chest for emphasis, Kelly shouted, “I didn’t do this stuff!” His voice cracked and he broke into tears, saying: “This is not me! I’m fighting for my f*cking life!” The excerpt broadcast by CBS bleeped out the expletive while the transcript used the asterisk.
Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, could face up to seven years in prison for each of the 10 counts if convicted.
CBS said it will air additional footage from the interview on “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday and Thursday. | {

Lack of association between venous thrombosis and subsequent malignancy in a retrospective cohort study in young patients.
Since the publication of Trousseau in 1865, several studies have documented an increased incidence of cancer in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) especially those with idiopathic or recurrent DVT, but in young patients this association is not clear and is therefore a subject of controversy. We performed a retrospective study in a consecutive cohort of 40 young patients (age <40 years) with a DVT and without a known cancer. All patients were diagnosed in our hospital during the period of 1988-1992. At the time of diagnosis, a routine examination to detect the presence of malignant disease was made. For the follow-up, all patients included in the study were asked to return to our unit and were interviewed for symptoms that could suggest a malignant disease. The mean follow-up was five years (from three to eight years). Twenty-four patients had DVT in the lower limbs and three in the upper extremities, nine had pulmonary embolism (six of them with DVT) and four had DVT in other sites. Sixteen patients (40%) had secondary DVT due to nonbiological causes, abnormalities in hemostasis were found in 14 patients (35%), and biological or environmental triggering factors were not identified in 10 patients (25%). Malignancies were not detected at diagnosis and in the follow-up. In our experience, venous-thrombotic patients under the age of 40 have a low incidence of subsequent cancer. Further studies should be performed to confirm this observation and to ascertain whether extensive screening for cancer is a cost-effective approach. | {

A man spent three days in hospital with an agonising erection after taking viagra designed for bulls.
The man, who has not been identified, bought the stimulant in the Mexican state of Veracruz.
He took it after arranging to meet a 30-year-old woman, and ended up requiring urgent surgery.
A doctor who treated him said: “He was hospitalised in the Specialised Hospital 270 of the city of Reynosa.
“He had taken a sexual stimulant which he had bought in Veracruz, used by farmers in that region to invigorate bulls for insemination.”
(Image: CEN)
His current condition is not known, and the name of the stimulant was not reported.
The hospital shared a picture of the man on a hospital bed prior to treatment.
Last October, a bloke who suffered a month-long erection after taking Viagra revealed he now can’t get one at all .
Electrician Nat Thind, 26, required an operation on his penis after taking the pill last summer.
When surgery failed, doctors spent three days trying to find a solution until he finally went flaccid naturally.
Nat said: “There’s no point in me being depressed about what’s happened.
“I have even got to the point where I can see the funny side of what’s happened. I had a healthy sex life before and obviously that’s impossible for me now.”
Nat, who is single, took the recommended dose of one Viagra pill on June 17 after buying it over the counter.

He had taken it several times before but this time things went seriously wrong.
After rushing to hospital doctors diagnosed him with priapism – a long-lasting painful erection. | {

The purposeful humiliation is also not new, though it constantly takes new forms. Thirty years ago political leaders, including some of the most noted hawks, submitted to Prime Minister Begin a shocking and detailed account of how settlers regularly abuse Palestinians in the most depraved manner and with total impunity. The prominent military-political analyst Yoram Peri wrote with disgust that the army’s task is not to defend the state, but “to demolish the rights of innocent people just because they are Araboushim (“niggers,” “kikes”) living in territories that God promised to us.” | {

Tennis are an indie husband-wife duo hailing from Colorado, America. The pair met in college and proceeded to sail the Eastern seaboard for seventh months, before settling back on land to write and record their first LP, ‘Cape Dory’ which was a loose documentation of their experiences at sea.
With a love for the pop sounds of the 50s, 60s and 70s, the duo has maintained a modern lo-fi feel with glassy guitars and soulful melodies à la Carole King and The Ronettes. After rigorous touring with such notable acts such as HAIM, and establishing their own label ‘Mutually Detrimental’, the duo is set to release their fourth LP, ‘Yours Conditionally’ on March 10th.
Backyard Opera’s Lester Daniels had a chat with singer and keyboardist Alaina Moore about the new album, their evolving sound and the creative processes behind their latest musical efforts.
What can we expect on your forth coming LP, ‘Yours Conditionally’?
Yours Conditionally was written on land and at sea, in equal parts. Lyrically, it is a consideration of my relation to the world as a woman, as an artist whose work is transformed by another’s experience of it, and the conflicting needs that arise from these intersections. How much am I willing to belong to the ones I love? How much am I wiling to belong to an audience that I don’t know but need? I question the limits of my devotion and conclude that I am yours conditionally.
Fifties and sixties pop was your aesthetic aim for your first works. What about this music drew you to it? In accounting for this sounds revival in music scenes today, what do you think are its more timeless elements?
We were first attracted to this style of music for purely aesthetic reasons. We admired the production and felt like contemporary music could benefit from the sounds and recording techniques of that era. Of course we have evolved since then. You can only listen to certain genre for so long before your curiosity takes you elsewhere. We've slowly journeyed forward in time and landed somewhere in the early 70s.
It’s important to keep things fresh, not just for your audience but for yourselves as artists. How did you approach the writing of this record? What tune came first?
Our writing process was long and disjointed since some of it took place at home in Denver and the rest on our sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez. I think the first song we wrote was Ladies Don't Play Guitar. I had written the lyrics while touring a previous record and they were just waiting to be put to music. We completed 5 songs at home before heading off to sea. Our only goal was to write one song at a time. As we worked a unifying theme began to appear, but we didn't construct one in advance.
Your music is quite stylized. Do you meticulously outline how to achieve your sound prior to heading into the studio? How far do you allow yourselves to deviate from your ‘pre-sets’?
We try to do whatever the song wants, even if it's something we've never done before. We don't strictly adhere to anything. Budget constraints, the limitations of certain pieces of gear and our own individual tastes naturally shape our sound in the studio.
Every record has its own achievements, its own identity in terms of what it does best. What do you feel are the achievements of your latest record? In what ways have you refined and/or evolved your sound?
We've finally learned how to please ourselves. That is our greatest achievement.
Was this an easy record to write? What helps you get creative?
There were some obstacles as there always are, but in general this album came easily. It was a joy to create.
Since ‘Cape Dory’ your sound has definitely found more depth in that on subsequent albums it seemed you were seemed to be gearing the sonic qualities of the songs to fill larger spaces. Was the addition of Pat Carney’s drum sound critical to this ‘depth’? Do you write songs keeping in mind the physical spaces they will occupy?
Rhythm and drum tone are the backbone of any song we write. We almost always start with the beat and its sound qualitythen build the song from there. I definitely think Patrick Carney influenced this tendency within us.
As your popularity is growing confidently you’re definitely finding your way into larger venues with larger crowds. Do you prefer more intimate shows? How does change your experience of the performance?
Different sized venues have their own appeal. I enjoy the connection I can have with the crowd in a smaller show, but its easier for me to lose myself in a big venue.
Would Tennis consider some collaborative work down the road? Who’d be the ideal?
As far as songwriting goes I'm not one for collaboration. The appeal of writing is that it's personal and internal. Patrick and I write mostly alone and help complete each other's work in the final stages. We did have the opportunity to play in someone else's band recently and that was incredibly fun. I'd love to do more of that. The experience of playing a show is so different when it's not my own band.
And finally, if you could see TWO gigs from any time period which would you choose?
I would have loved to see Judee Sill play a solo set before she died. She is hugely influential to my songwriting. I'd also love to see Patti Smith live. Fortunately,it's not too late for that. | {

Well, that wasn't supposed to happen!
A pair of hapless burglary suspects in McAlester, Okla., found themselves in hot water last week after authorities say one of the men inadvertently butt-dialed police.
"Never have I seen or heard of anything like this," Pittsburg County Sheriff Joel Kerns told local NBC affiliate KJRH.
On Friday evening, 23-year-old Payton Seth Brewer and an accomplice allegedly broke into a home and made away with money, jewelry and a gun, the station notes.
But the suspects' plan hit a snag when one butt-dialed authorities. As Pittsburg County dispatchers listened with astonishment, the men proceeded to discuss the the incident, according to local station KOTV.
"We're good, I got enough jewelry, we're good," one man said, according to the station.
The dispatchers notified deputies, who said they traced the call and were able to catch Brewer when he tried to sell the jewelry at a pawn shop. Although the second suspect was able to flee the scene, deputies said they are closing in on him, KOTV reports.
Brewer is being held at the Pittsburg County Criminal Justice Center and faces a charge second-degree burglary, according to KJRH.
Surprisingly, this isn't the first time suspects have alerted police to their activities via their butts.
In May, suspects in Fresno, Calif., were picked up after unwittingly calling 911 and discussing drug use and burglary plans, police said. After they were arrested, police told the suspects how they were located, according to ABC News.
“This fool really called 911?” one said, according to ABC. “Damn.” | {

"The police will follow" "We will find Kofei for sure!" "It's all you fault" "You'd better go back to Hong Kong first" "The police might not be able to help this time" " But auntie..." " Just listen to me" "Leave while you still can" "Someone could be setting you up" "I don't think you can defend yourselves!" "THE EYE MASK" "April!" "Don'tt!" "April!" "April, are you okay?" "April!" "Close your eyes, don't open them, not now!" "Close them tight..." "listen to me!" "You'll be in trouble if you open them now!" "We're here for you!" "You'll be okay!" "Hold on for just one more sec" "Okay, now you can open your eyes" "Hey, April!" "April, 'you all right?" "It hurts!" "It was so scary!" "My eyes, they fell out!" "No way" "Your eyes are still there" "Don'tt worry, everything's okay now!" "You guys were only lucky to save her in time!" "She almost slipped into the limbo world!" "If she did, she'd be trapped forever!" "Chongkwai!" "You should know better not to play with fire!" "You're not a child anymore!" "What did auntie say?" "Does she know where Kofei is?" "My mom blamed me for teaching you the usage of graveyard soil" "I nearly caused you trapped in the limbo world" "I'm so sorry" "I never thought things would turn out like this!" "There're too many things that you don't notice" "There are other dimensions in this world!" "Do you understand?" "Apart from our human world there are numerous unknown dimensions" "April was lucky not to slip into the limbo world" "When I was a kid, I saw this young woman" "She entered the limbo world by mistake" "Let me out!" "Let me out!" "Now you know!" "Always stay away from black magic" "When things get out of hand you won't be able to survive the consequences" "But where is Kofei now?" "Who knows?" "Just don't stay here!" "Go back to Hong Kong now!" "No, I won't!" "I won't leave without Kofei!" "Cous" "Wouldn't it be kind of low if we leave?" "If we leave, yes, it is low" "Then we shouldn't do this!" "But then the cab is here already" "Low or not low..." "we can discuss that on the way!" "Scumbags!" "How could they ditch April like this?" "!" "You call them your friends?" "!" "I didn't talk to Ted after we're back to Hong Kong" "He didn't call me either" "Maybe he just wants to forget about what happened" "Me too" "But I know it's not possible" "For the first two weeks, Chongkwai did call" "I didn't dare ask him about April though" "I wonder how she is now..." "I pretend everything's normal..." "I go to school" "I play, I eat, I went out" "Damn right, everything is normal" "So what am I pretending?" "Mister!" "Anyone in?" "'"The Ten Encounters'"..." "A GLASS OF SPIRIT" "That man has gotta have something to do with Kofei!" "He even drew the 5 of us playing the damn game!" "Bonehead!" "It's obvious that he's cast a spell on all of you!" "You guys just can't overcome this on your own!" "Midnight comb" "THE FORBIDDEN shade" "What's wrong with you?" "!" "It's only a ball!" "Peek-a-stoop" "It's disturbing!" "Just answer it!" "Maybe it's urgent!" "Okay!" "Teddy?" "This time I really saw it!" "You saw ghosts again?" "Where is it this time?" "Right outside my front door!" "Have a drink and you won't remember it" "Don'tt play dumb anymore-it's no use!" "There is really a ghost playing ball right outside!" "Just come over now!" "Are...are you sure?" "100 percents!" "I did the Peek-a-stoop bending over and I saw '"him'"!" "I am so very sure!" "Then..." "I...then..." "Cut the crap and come over now!" "Okay, I will" "Well, I must go..." "Where' you going?" "May?" "It's Chongkwai!" "April has vanished!" "What?" "Already 2 people among us have disappeared" "My mom wants you guys to be careful!" "Why is it still so crowded so late at night?" "Unit 12C" "Mister, have you seen my report card?" "You little damn thing!" "Sorry" "I thought you were a ghost!" "Don'tt cry..." "I'm sorry!" "So what if there are ghosts?" "Messing with us?" "What' you doing?" "!" "Where am I?" "!" "It's dangerous here" "Teddy...!" "Thank god you're here!" "Don'tt cry... come sit down first" "We are dead meat" "I see ghosts all the time!" "Our problem has not ended just there in Thailand" "Remember what Chongkwai said?" "Once we've started the game" "We just can't quit playing until it's all over!" "Looks like we must return to Thailand before we can settle everything" "Ai?" "Where's that girl?" "What are you looking for?" "My Friend, the girl who came in with me!" "The one from Thailand!" "We share the same ride together, remember?" "It's okay now!" "Come out!" "I think...." "I only saw you..." "Why are you watching these tapes?" "Don'tt tell me she's here!" "But..." "I can't see her now!" "Wanna try and look between your legs?" "But how?" "BEND" "O" "VER" "We shouldn't be doing this!" "Too risky!" "Our lives are at stake anyway!" "This method could be our last resort!" "Cousin" "Let's think it over!" "You're not in this with me, right?" "Suit yourself!" "Wait!" "That's not what I mean" "I'm in" "The last frontier" "Death" "To advance your death" "You have to play dead wearing a used funeral suit and then you can infiltrate the limbo world" "Your time there is limited and you must leave on time" "Once you hear me ringing a bell enter the stream of white light right away!" "It's your only way out; don't stall" "Or you'd never come back!" "Darn..." "I still can't fall asleep" "What a drag..." "Well then let me help you!" " Where are we?" " Don'tt know" "Darn..." " I'm kind of scared" " I I'm scared too!" "Wait!" "A ghost!" "But he is smiling!" "That's right!" "Chongkwai said..." "If we don't meddle with them, they won't bother us!" "This one is kind of cute!" "Hey, they seem quite friendly too!" "There" "There" "Up there!" "Something's not right!" "It's getting crowded here!" "And they aren't smiling; not so friendly either" "Quick, think of something!" "Cannot!" "Has Chongkwai ever said that ghosts are afraid of the verve in our breath?" "He said that?" "Well..." "Gee, it works!" "Man, you stink!" "Get up!" "Let's go!" "They've stopped hunting us" "How' you doing, Ted?" "I need to rest!" "So do I" "Be careful, cousin!" "You found me, how boring!" "I quit!" "Kofei!" "Thank god you're alright!" "We've finally found you!" "Calm down, girl!" "You didn't see me for only an hour!" "Where were you guys?" "Listen!" "You were gone for a month!" " A month?" "!" "We messed up!" "A ghost has blocked you from our view all these while" "We play dead to come here for you in the limbo world" "Huh?" "This is..." "This is the limbo world?" "Yes!" "It's all over!" "I'm darn pooped" "Same here" "Kofei, you're new here" "Greet them with your breath!" "My breath?" "Yes!" "What... do you mean?" "They're afraid of it" "But how?" "I really can't do this anymore!" "I'm breathless!" "Show them your specialty!" "You can still fart, can't you?" "Kofei!" "Where are you?" "April?" "I've come to stay with you!" "April?" "!" "Kofei!" "It's April!" "April!" "I'm here!" "Kofei?" "Is that you?" "!" "Yes!" "It's April!" "Yes!" "It's April!" "Kofei!" "April!" "Come with me now!" "Hurry!" "Don'tt look back!" "You hear that?" "I do!" "Do you hear that?" "We are safe now!" " It's Chongkwai!" " It is!" "What about him?" "He said, run to the white light once we hear the bell" "And we'd be out of here!" "Really?" "Yes!" "There it is!" "Let's go to the light now!" "What white light?" "What bell?" "How come I don't hear or see any of these?" "How did you come here?" "Kofei" "I thought you were dead" "That's why I..." "Mom!" "We're running out of time!" "Do something!" "Cous, what do we do now?" "Are we leaving or not?" "Hey!" "You guys go ahead!" "I'm staying!" "Just go!" "Auntie!" "Chongkwai!" "Chongkwai!" "Auntie!" "Teddy!" "I told you" "This is a curse you can't overcome!" "The Ten Encounters" "A GLASS OF SPIRIT" "Interested in this book?" "What if I give you a discount?" "You like that?" | {

Honeycrisp Apples
A true, ripe Honeycrisp tastes like an apple with the volume turned up, and it was invented right here in Minnesota. Pick your own at an apple orchard, try it baked into a pie, or drink it by way of a hard cider. | {

Domjolly - yes the London Branches of Bank of Cyprus and Laiki Bank have remained open for the last two weeks as was the subsidiary of The Bank of Cyprus in Moscow. They were allowing withdrawals in any amount apparently.
I guess there will now be very very few deposits over Euro 100k left in these banks. The losses on those remaining depositors over Euro 100k will be around 50% in my view if not higher and most of those will be local Cypriot businesses and modestly wealthy Cypriots.
When the ex Russian minster was pressed about the issue he said that it was theft outragous and that the EU would give the russians there money back
When the interviewer said how he said we have german and french companys in russia we can excat pressure this soundsvery bad to me i think the eu are walking a very dark path and the duch mister has already said this could becoe and i wuote a template for other countires
Thanks Domjolly, I didn't see newsnight (too busy working) I'll see if I can watch it later.
Just had a look at the Reuters link. Many very wealthy people have probably been taking their money out. So what will be left? Looks like those most effected will probably be Cypriot businesses, many won't survive this and the economy is expected to shrink by 15-20%. What a mess.
Interesting interview here about how banks create money and that private debt is actually a bigger problem than public debt.
The Chairman of Bank of Cyprus just resigned and rumours swirling that bank may also be liquidated.
The Cyprus central bank has asked the EU/ECB for an additional Euro 3 bn which it is thought might be the additional amount that was removed last week while banks were closed.
Young people rioting/protesting on the streets of Cyprus. This looks very ugly. No sign of banks opening yet and with potentially the two biggest Cypriot bank being closed for good - who knows when they might.
G4S (the British security firm involved in the Olympics) has been hired to guard the Cypriot banks when they re open on Thursday. But their Managing Director confidently predicts it won't be a big job:
"People have had time to digest the agreement so maybe there won't be that scenario whereby people run to the banks to withdraw"
I agree with MinitheMinx. All these countries were heavily pressured by private banks to issue public debt as a means of financing government programs. Bankers made huge bonuses out of this. To repay these debts whose interest payments have spiralled out of control, they are now being pressured to steal from their own citizens. Which will again yield huge bonuses for those who implement it.. ;) And then they wonder why average Europeans have given up (below dismal birthrates for decades) and they need to import labour , it's just mind-boggling.
Everyone wants to pass the buck. Any subprime borrower who borrowed more than they could afford is at fault. Any bank which loaned silly percentages is at fault. Any nation which spent more money than it had coming in is at fault. Let us have taking of responsibility rather than constant buck passing. Any greedy Briton who wanted 6% interest on savings in Cyprus rather than 1% in the UK took a risk just as they did when they went for the too good to be true Icelandic bank rates in the UK.
Will be interesting to see if £3bn was taken out of Cypriot banks when they were supposedly closed. | {

* Welcome to The Big Jewel, where Saint Nicholas is so real he can even be verified by science...or even by elementary school science students. This week please welcome the unlikely named Boudreau Freret to our pages. When he is not writing for us, Mr. Freret also contributes to Yankee Pot Roast and The Talking Mirror, both of which can be found in our Blogroll to the right. His first piece for us celebrates Christmas in a spirit of pragmatic rationalism. Cheers! Please note: we will be on holiday hiatus until Wednesday, January 6. Until then, merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
My objective is to find out if the light emitted from some reindeers’ noses is caused by the same bioluminescence used by insects like glow worms and fireflies.
Question:
Is the light source for a luminous reindeer’s (Rangifer Tarandus, sometimes called Caribou) nose similar to the light source in glow worms (Arachnocampa flava) and fireflies (Lampyridae)?
Hypothesis:
My hypothesis is that light emitting reindeer noses use the same chemical reaction to produce light that glow worms and fireflies use.
Background Information and Research:
Glow worms (not really worms, but larvae of a type of fly) give off light to attract insects so they can catch and eat them. The light is blueish-greenish, and is a product of a chemical reaction between the enzyme luciferase, adenosine triphosphate (ATP, the energy molecule) oxygen, and luciferin (a waste product). See http://www.wettropics.gov.au/pa/pa_fireflies.html.
Fireflies also produce light by the same chemical reaction. See http://iris.biosci.ohio-state.edu/projects/FFiles/frfact.html. The color of firefly light ranges from “intense green to bright yellow.” http://jgp.rupress.org/cgi/reprint/48/1/95.pdf.
Reindeer noses have specialized bones that increase the surface area inside the nostrils. This helps warm incoming cold air with body heat, before the air reaches their lungs. See Wikipedia, Reindeer, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer. This may explain how reindeer get the extra oxygen needed for the chemical reaction between the luciferin, the luciferase, and the adenosine triphosphate.
The Wikipedia Reindeer entry does not mention light emitting reindeer noses, but we know from other sources that they exist. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Robert L. May, 1939. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, (Song), Johnnie Marks, 1949. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, (Television Broadcast), Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc., 1964. These sources all describe a light that is red in color, not blue-green or yellow.
A Google Image search for “light up reindeer noses” returned photographs of clothing, costumes, and holiday decorations, as well as many drawings, but no actual photos of reindeer with light emitting noses. The results proved only that the reindeer with light up noses exist, but did not explain the source of the light. However, a search for “glow worms” and “fireflies” produced thousands of actual photographs, many taken in low light. Other than the glow, it was difficult to tell what was in many of these pictures.
Actions Taken and Procedure:
I visited two zoos because that’s the number my dad would drive me to.
The first, Jungle Louie’s Petting Zoo, doesn’t have any reindeer but I did talk to the Executive Director, Louie Cognomi. Mr. Cognomi was very nice, but did not answer any of my questions. I had several questions prepared about how reindeer noses might combine luciferin, luciferase, and adenosine triphosphate, but midway though the first page, Mr. Cognomi interrupted and said I could hold one of the zoo’s sugar gliders if I wanted. It crawled across my shoulders for a few minutes (which tickles), then my dad said it was time for us to leave. I never got any answers.
The Belcher County Zoo has two caribou (another name for reindeer) on loan from the Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board. Neither have light emitting noses. Their handler, Maggie Cervidae, gave me a tour that included her office. There was something on the wall that my dad said was a master’s degree, but it must not be in reindeer, because she didn’t know anything about light up noses. In fact, if I understood her correctly, she said that reindeer do not have light up noses. I know that isn’t right, because so many sources describe one in detail. See Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Robert L. May, 1939, Johnnie Marks, 1949, Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc., 1964.
Results:
We know that some reindeer noses light up, but Wikipedia does not explain why. Mr. Cognomi never answered any of my questions, and Ms. Cervidae incorrectly said that reindeer don’t have noses that light up. Mom and dad just change the subject when I try to talk about it. I don’t know what is going on, but I feel like I’m getting the runaround, and I intend to get to the bottom of all of this before next year’s science fair.
Conclusion:
My hypothesis was that light emitting reindeer noses use the same chemical reaction to produce light that glow worms and fireflies use. My results do not fully support my initial hypothesis. I believe that some of the Google Image results for “glow worms” and “fireflies” are actually poor quality pictures of reindeer with light up noses, particularly the really blurry ones that show what looks like a bright yellow light source. Two color examples are attached to this report as an Appendix. More research is needed to figure out why the light in the photos looks yellow, not red, if the light is produced by the same chemical reaction that glow worms and fireflies use, and why nobody wants to talk to me about it.
Acknowledgments:
I would like to thank my father for driving me to the zoos, my mom for giving me an advance on my allowance so I could have the color photos printed for the Appendix, and my sister, Karen, for loaning me her copy of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
* Welcome to The Big Jewel, your online Christmas shopping superstore. We promise not to let any of our employees send you emails like those some nut from Barnes & Noble sent to our good friend Frank Ferri.
Thank you for shopping with us. You’ll receive a follow-up email shortly regarding the status of this order. You can always log into your account at www.bn.com to check on this order and your previous orders.
Guess what? We can’t find the book you ordered. I know we said we had it, but this is a big-ass warehouse and sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything. Still, it’s embarrassing. Will write back ASAP when I have more details.
Randy totally snapped at me. I don’t know why I’m putting this on you, but I guess I needed to talk to someone and you’ve been such a good listener lately. Anyway, all I said was, “Randy can you please try to keep the books organized by the author’s last name? It will make everyone’s job a lot easier when trying to locate books.” Then he completely freaked saying I always single him out. He filed a complaint with HR. Any advice?
Sorry. I was so busy ranting in the last email that I forgot to tell you that your order is packed and ready to ship from our warehouse. I’ll shoot you a tracking number as soon as I get it. Or I can call you with it. Let me know what works for you.
I never heard back from you about how you wanted to receive the tracking number. No worries. I was able to access your account and pull up your phone number. You have a 609 area code! That’s New Jersey. We’re in Jersey too! I’ll give you a ring, maybe we can meet up. Talk books???
Got a bombshell this morning when I came into work! Just letting my closest friends — well, my only friend — know that I’ve been let go by Barnes & Noble. Apparently a customer filed a complaint alleging that my customer service methods “crossed the line from friendly and helpful into the overzealous.” Based on the printed email correspondence provided by this customer, HR said they found my behavior “abnormal and creepy and illustrative of several DSM-IV diagnoses.” Whatever that means. I wish they would just tell me who complained, you know? They’re keeping it all secrety and stuff.
Anyhoo, hit me up on [email protected], since I won’t be at the B&N email address anymore. Oh, I almost forgot! As I was cleaning out my desk and burning a disc of our entire database of customers, I had some extra time, so I looked into your order history. “How to Seek Out Crowds: A Frotteur’s Guide to 24/7 Fun,” “Tax Evasion For Dummies,” “Hanson’s Greatest Hits: Volumes I and II”? Weird stuff. Let me know if you want me to post these and some of your freakier orders on Facebook. I’d love to hear back from you! And for some reason, I think I will this time.
* Welcome to The Big Jewel, where opportunity is always knocking, but we never let it in because it doesn't have a warrant. Say, how would you like to be the spokesperson for a national organic coalition? Because something tells us that Twinkie the Kid will not be getting the job...
Let me start by sayin’ thanks for calling me in for this interview. When I read that ‘cause organic foods have been so popular the last few years that you’d be hiring a national icon, it got me startin’ to thinking. But when I realized that, in particular, you were lookin’ for a symbol that the average American Joe could relate to, I yelled out –- yippee-ki-yay! Then I jumped out of my hot tub, grabbed my cell phone and called ya’ll. Hey, I don’t need to tell you guys that Twinkies are already an American icon. And I clearly had a lot to do with getting it to that level. Look at me! I’m as American as apple pie. I got my cowboy hat. I got my cowboy boots. I’m practically the John Wayne of snack foods!
What? You’ve never eaten a Twinkie? None of you? Get outta here! Did ya’ll grow up in Communist Russia, or what?
Excuse me? Why would I, in particular, be a suitable representative of organic foods? Hmm, well, let me ask you something – what is the one thing that most people think when they hear about organic foods? I’ll tell you –- it rots! That’s right. Organic foods have no preservatives. It rots quickly if you don’t eat or cook it. Well, I don’t think I need to tell you that one thing that people think of when they think of Twinkies is – they last forever. Not a bad association to have: me…Twinkies…lasts forever…organic foods. And on top of that I’m a cowboy. Like I said there ain’t nothing more American than that. This will help dispel the controversy that organic food is part of a terrorist plot to drain us all of our money. That’s right, I read that someplace.
So, okay, I know I’m not made of carob. And I couldn’t tell you the difference between a brussel sprout and a head of lettuce. But I am pretty awesome here with this lasso. I was thinking that you could show my lassoing things out on the range. You know, catching those free-range animals. Probably not a chicken. But, I could ride up on my organic free-range horse, lasso me a free-range cow, drop it to the ground and tie it up in ten seconds flat. You know, it would put a bit of brawn behind that wimpy feeling people get when they think of organic food.
Are you sure not one of you, ever, not even once, had a Twinkie?
Why did I leave my last job? Well, I’ve been involved in the snack food industry since the early 70’s. And a few weeks ago I was sitting around playin’ a weekly game of quarters with Captain Cupcake and Fruitpie the Magician. Fruitpie was yakking it up again about the job stress and his ulcer. And the Captain lost his hearing aid in his beer stein again. I thought to myself — what a pathetic bunch of losers. Then I thought, you know, I ain’t so fluffy and spongy anymore. My frosting’s startin’ to dry up. Do I want to be sitting around a decade from now pining for the good ole’ days of artificial coloring and preservatives with long chemical names? No. I know which side my organic bread is buttered, uh, Earth Balanced on. I can see that organic food is the wave of the future. And, I want to be standing under that wave.
What? That’s it? Oh, come on. I can tell I haven’t sold you, yet. Gimme me just two more minutes and we’ll be good.
Great, thanks. All I ask is that you each take a little taste of my filling. It’s white, right, so it’s got to be pure. Just one taste. Excellent.
See. Not bad, huh? Actually, it’s pretty damn awesome, right?
Maybe, we could emphasize that my corn syrup is from organic corn. Sure, it’s a bit of lie, but no one would know. Hmm, yes, I do have some actual boxes of Twinkies in my saddle-bag. Sure, here, take one. What’s that? Uh, I don’t really know if Dextrose, Cellulose Gum, Polysorbate 60, or Dextrin could be considered organic. But, heck, you guys run this thing. Maybe you could, you know, make it so. Actually, yes, I think there’s an egg in there, too. That’s good isn’t it?
More Twinkies? Wow, you guys tore through that first three boxes pretty quick. Sure, I can call the supplier, but let’s just start with one truckload.
Before I do that, though, I have one last question: so, am I hired, or what? | {

"Her name is Robin Newberry." "Name's not important." "Proceed." "She gave me a cupcake." "Yeah?" "So?" "I think she likes me." "So, what's the problem?" "Now I think she thinks I like her back." "Do you?" "I didn't think I did." "But it was a really good cupcake." "Wow, talk about your perfect metaphor." "No, it was a cupcake." "Okay, blank slate." "Listen up." "I'm gonna tell you something that will serve you well for life." "Like, "When you're peeing outside, always face downwind"?" "Better." "By the way, what the hell were you thinking?" "I was thinking, "Boy, I hope that's really warm rain. "" "Okay, okay." "Let's focus on today's lesson." "Never, ever confuse cupcakes with love." "But I love cupcakes." "We all love cupcakes." "That doesn't mean you have to love the baker." "Her mom baked it." "Missing the point." "Robin just helped with the icing." "Okay." "Okay." "She made a smiley face with Red Hots." "I get it." "I'm just saying that when someone freely gives you her cupcake your only obligation is to enjoy it." "No reason to get emotionally involved." "Why not?" "lf you do, you'll be stuck eating the same damn cupcake for the rest of your life." "But it was a really good cupcake." "I can't stop thinking about it." "Yeah, I've had cupcakes like that." "The thing you gotta remember is there will always be other cupcakes." "And if the day should come when you find yourself in a cupcake drought" "And those days come, don't kid yourself." "well, then you just shell out a couple of bucks for a nice Ho Ho." "Understand?" "I think so." "Thanks, Uncle Charlie." "No problem." "Hey, what are you guys talking about?" "Sex." "Well, how about that?" "The booger eater grasped the symbolism." "You were talking to my son about sex?" "He came to me with a cupcake problem." "I thought it was about sex." "I was using cupcakes as a metaphor." "Jeez, the kid got it." "Okay, walk me through the metaphor." "Some little girl gave him a cupcake" "Okay, stop." ""Gave him a cupcake. " Are we talking baked goods or are we talking some new hip-hop slang?" "Baked goods." "I told him it was okay to enjoy the cupcake without feeling emotionally obligated." "So you told my son it's okay to have sex with a girl without having any feelings towards her?" "Lucky for us he asked me stuff I know about." "There's no "us" here." "There's no "lucky. " That's a terrible lesson." "Hey, I could've done 20 minutes just on licking the icing." "But I took the high road." "Okay, okay, enough." "Here's the deal." "From now on, all cupcake conversations will be referred to me." "Why?" "You don't know the difference between a Ding Dong and your elbow." "Nevertheless, I do not want him learning about relationships from a misogynist." "A misogynist?" "You're saying I'm a misogynist?" "Yes, Charlie." "You are a misogynist." "I'm a misogynist?" "I'm a misogynist?" "That is really low, Alan." "Calling your own brother a misogynist." "G-l-N or G-E-N?" "G-Y-N." "Thanks." "I do not hate women." "Oh, come on, Charlie." "If anything, I am the opposite of a misogynist." "I'm a pro-sogynist." "I love women." "Oh, is that so?" "Even if there's no possibility of having sex with them?" "What?" "Exactly." "And it is precisely that attitude I do not want my son to grow up with." "Okay, okay." "Hold it just a second." "So you'd rather he grow up to be like you?" "Scared of women?" "Manipulated by women?" "Hey, that's not true." "Oh, please." "Look at your ex-wife." "Say what you want about me, but I've never chosen women..." "...who do nothing but mistreat me." "Hey, stud." "I don't know what kind of sick, twisted party you had the last couple days but I sure as hell ain't cleaning it up." "That is different." "Way different." "Hey, Dad, what time is it?" "Twenty after 6." "Why?" "Because I have to call my girlfriend at 6:30." "What girlfriend?" "Robin Newberry." "Cupcake Robin Newberry?" "Charlie, stay out of it." "How can I stay out of it?" "If I saw a bus heading for him, would I not throw myself in front of it?" "Would you?" "I'm just making a point here." "Charlie, if you don't mind, I'll handle it." "Jake, I thought we talked about this." "I shouldn't take a cupcake from a girl if I don't like her." "That's right." "So I decided to like her." "We're exclusive." "Exclusive?" "That means I don't talk to other girls and I get a cupcake every day." "I'd better call now." "If I'm late, she yells at me." "Congratulations, Alan." "Your son is officially pastry whipped." "Marco." "Not now, Rose." "Marco." "Rose, I'm not in the mood." "Marco." "Polo." "Hey, Charlie." "Hey." "Something wrong?" "I'm not sure." "Rose, do you think I'm a misogynist?" "Oh, wow, yeah." "Why?" "Did somebody say you weren't?" "Marco." "How can I be a misogynist?" "My whole life is a testament to my love for women." "It's sweet that you think that but what you call love is really just an obsession to control and dominate based on mistrust and hostility." "Yeah, so?" "You forget I spent the night with you once." "You don't make love to a woman, you overpower her." "You subjugate her." "You ravage her." "Anyhow, it's obvious you're still trying to resolve longstanding Oedipal issues." "Hold on." "O-E-D." "You sure?" "Yeah, I have a Master's in psychology." "And I know how to spell." ""l have a Master's in psychology and I know how to spell. "" "Here it is:" "Oedipus complex." "Okay, that's what I thought." "It's just sick." "Unconscious, unresolved sexual feelings towards my mother?" "I didn't write the dictionary, Charlie." "But it's not true." "I despise my mother." "Consciously, yes." "And that's why you conflate sex and aggression." "It's textbook misogyny." "Conflate?" "Come on." "What is it, fancy word day?" "It means to join together." "Thank you." "So, what are you saying?" "You will never be able to have a trusting and truly loving relationship with any woman until you resolve your feelings about your mother." "Broads have been telling me that for years." "It's a lot of hooey." "It's okay, Charlie." "The world is filled with women who seek out misogynists." "Women who need men to mistreat them and provide them with angry, aggressive sex in order to satisfy their own twisted pathology." "I see." "Well, I guess I'll just have to look for a woman like that." "Marco." "Thanks for giving me another chance." "You were so darling, I couldn't resist." "I know I've got some intimacy issues, but I'm working on them." "And if you could just be patient with me I think you and I could truly conflate." "What's "conflate" mean?" "Look, you don't have to go." "Relax, Charlie." "All men have performance problems occasionally." "No, no, no." "It's not officially a performance problem until we give up." "Right now, it's just unusually long foreplay." "Sorry, but I have to get back to work." "Damn, my carpal tunnel's acting up." "How about if I come with you?" "We can give it a shot in your car." "It's okay." "I still love you." "Thank you." "I mean, I really appreciate your understanding and support during this dark time." "I'll call you." "What?" "Nothing." "Go ahead." "Say it." "I have nothing to say." "Except, you know:" "Oh, my." "Don't tell me I got a rise out of you." "Alan, I am right on the edge." "Be very careful." "Sorry." "I didn't realize it was so impotent." "You forget one thing." "Oh, what's that?" "I can still run." "Yes?" "Mom, it's me, Charlie." "I'm a little busy right now." "What do you want?" "We need to talk." "About what?" "How I'll never be able to have a meaningful relationship because of the way you screwed me up." "Well sorry about that." "Let me in." " There 's more?" "Yes." "Will this having children thing never end?" "Mom." "Look, I' m sorry this is such a major inconvenience for you, but" "Oh, God." "What are you doing?" "Downward-Facing Dog." "What?" "It's yoga, Charlie." "Could your dog possibly face upward while we talk?" "Fine." "Jeez." "What the hell is the mutt doing now?" "Charlie, just say what you came to say." "Okay, well, are you aware that I'm a misogynist?" "Really?" "I raised you Episcopalian." "This isn't funny." "My anger and mistrust towards women starts with you." "Wasn't a problem till it spilled into my sex life." "So you're blaming Mommy because Little Charlie can't come out and play?" "Okay, first of all, we don't call it "Little Charlie. "" "What do we call it, darling?" "We don't call it anything." "Well, when you were a baby we called it Mr. Pinky." "I may never have sex again." "Oh, wait a sec." "Mr. Pinky was the cat." "What did we call your penis?" "lt doesn't matter." "The point is it isn't working anymore." "And somehow it's all tied up in some sick, twisted knot with you." "Mr. Pee-pee." "That's it." "Well, you can see why I confused that with Mr. Pinky." "Mom, I learned about relationships from watching you." "And you know what toxic little lessons I learned?" "Tell me, sweetheart." "Men who get emotionally involved get stepped on." "I learned that men who get married get emasculated." "That the best way to not get your heart broken is to pretend you don't have one." "You learned all that from me?" "Yes." "Darling, I've never been more proud of you than I am at this moment." "You're joking, right?" "Not at all." "For the first time I look at you and I see myself." "Oh, that's just insane." "Save room for dessert." "I bought brownies." "No, thanks." "Brownies just remind me of cupcakes." "His little girlfriend dumped him." "Really?" "She said she needed her space." "I'm sorry, buddy." "Want some advice?" "Yeah." "What do I do, Uncle Charlie?" "I meant from me." "No, thank you." "Well?" "You might as well listen to your dad because I got nothing." "Less than him?" "Fellas, I am the sick puppy of a downward dog." "Only thing I'm good for is drinking out of the toilet and sniffing my own ass." "Which, by the way, I saw our mother do earlier." "Okay, what do you think?" "Marco." "Oh, jeez." "Don't do that." "Sorry." "Are you okay?" "Oh, sure." "Everything I believed in is wrong." "Everything I thought I was I'm not." "And Mr. Pee-pee's on the fritz." "Mr." "Pee-pee?" "Yeah, it's what my mother used to" "Don't make me explain this, Rose." "Okay." "But he's on the fritz, you say." "Yes." "Well, I'm not surprised." "The depth of your pathology coupled with your denial was bound to manifest itself physically sooner or later." "In plain, simple English, Rose." "When your mind gets crazy, Mr. Pee-pee gets lazy." "I'll put it in another way." "When your psyche gets iffy, you can't get a stiffy." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Just tell me how I can fix it." "Oh, there's no quick fix, when it comes to limp" "Rose." "No more rhymes." "You sure?" "I got a beauty with "toner. "" "Okay." "Well, traditional therapy can help but you'll have to commit to a long, arduous process of self-exploration over a period of years." "Years?" "I can't go years without Mr. Pee-pee." "Charlie, isn't your long-term mental and emotional health more important than a few fleeting orgasms?" "It's not even more important than one." "Well, in that case, I suppose we could try a shortcut like hypnotherapy." "You know how to do that?" "I studied it." "But for it to work, you'd have to trust me completely." "You know, Rose, as strange as it may seem out of all the women I know, you're the only one I trust at all." "Personally, I find that very flattering while professionally, it's deeply disturbing." "Oh, well." "So just relax, sit back, close your eyes and listen only to the sound of my voice." "I wanna get my mother out of my head, okay?" "I don't wanna quit drinking, gambling or any good stuff." "Got it." "Okay." "So just relax." "Oh, my." "I see everything's back to normal." "Better than normal." "Did you take one of those pills?" "I don't need any pills." "It's all me." "And nobody else." "Why don't you relax while I introduce you to the new, improved Charlie?" "Who were you calling?" "I was just ordering a little chicken." "What smells so good?" "Your kid's in the kitchen baking." "You're kidding." "Hey, Dad." "Want a cupcake?" "Sure." "Uncle Charlie?" "Thank you." "Have as many as you want." "I've got another batch in the oven." "That's very tasty." "What prompted this?" "I figured out I don't need a girlfriend." "If I want a cupcake, I make it myself." "Taking matters into his own hands." "The metaphor is now complete." "Anybody wanna lick the beater?" "No." "No." "What?" | {

What the city is doing to prevent crappy condo balconies from shattering
(Image: Neil Ta from the Torontolife.com Flickr group)
The city wants to be more proactive about all the glass-falling-from-the-sky mishaps like this,this and those eleven other incidents from the past year, but doing so is trickier than it sounds (actually, Toronto Life’s cover story this month looks into this very issue). Under Ontario’s building code, the city can’t force precautionary inspections of glass balconies—developers don’t have to agree to assessments until after the balconies have shattered. Still, the city is optimistically planning a database of all the condos with glass balconies built in the last five years, and will ask developers to make voluntary inspections. Ontario is also reviewing an unreleased city report that recommends stricter rules about the type of glass that can be used, though the problem with that is, even if those recommendations are adopted, the code doesn’t force developers to upgrade existing buildings to meet new regulations. Meaning the potential revamp could fix up the new towers of the future, but won’t apply to the buildings already up and shedding glass. [Toronto Star] | {

Association Genetics Identifies Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Related to Kernel Oil Content and Quality in Camellia oleifera.
Camellia oleifera, as an important nonwood tree species for seed oil in China, has received enormous attention owing to its high unsaturated fatty acid contents benefited to human health. It is necessary to examine allelic diversity of key genes that are associated with oil production in C. oleifera cultivars with a large variation of fatty acid compositions. In this study, we performed the association analysis between four key genes (two CoSAD and two Cofad2) coding fatty acid desaturases and traits including oil content and fatty acid composition. We identified two single nucleotide insertion-deletion (InDel) and 362 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the four candidate genes by sequencing an association population (216 accessions). Single-marker (or haplotype) and traits association tests were conducted by linkage disequilibrium (LD) approaches to detect significant marker-trait associations. Validation population (279 hybrid individuals from six full-sibs families) studies were performed to validate the function of allelic variations significantly associated. In all, 90 single marker-trait and one haplotype-trait associations were significant in association population, and these loci explained 1.87-17.93% proportion of the corresponding phenotypic variance. Further, six SNP marker-trait associations ( Q < 0.10) from Cofad2-A, CoSAD1, and CoSAD2 were successfully validated in the validation population. The SNP markers identified in this study can potentially be applied for future marker-assisted selection to improve oil content and quality in C. oleifera. | {

Joke 2078
A man had just been laid off from work. He was standing on the railing of a high bridge getting ready to jump off, when he happened to look down and see a little man with no arms dancing all around on the river bank below.
He thought, "Life isn't so bad after all," and got off the railing.
He then walked down to the river bank to thank the little man for saving his life.
"Thank you," he said. "I was going to jump off that bridge and kill myself, but when I saw you dancing even though you have no arms, I changed my mind."
A man went into a library and asked for a book on how to commit suicide.
The librarian said: "Fuck off, you won't bring it back."

"I'm no specialist, I've only read how to do it..." "I haven't been lucky with women." "Married twice, and both times it was a mess..." "What are you so serious about?" "Wash, because you smell of war and death." "A crow flew over the field, Saw a herd of deer." "It began to count - one, two, three..." "Counted until daybreak." "Then it tired and crowed out:" "You're so many, and I'm but one!" "It crowed and went to sleep..." "Let's go." "Don't worry though - I cry out when I like it." "Damn!" "Don't!" "Sorry, it was a bad dream." "I didn't want to scare you." "Feeling bad?" "It's because you ate mushrooms." "I'll make an infusion for you - it will drive the badness out." "I liked you straight away..." "He's younger, but he's still a fascist." "I'll make an infusion from herbs - you'll feel better." "I must work, or I'll be like a fox in winter, eating turds."

"It's a herb infusion." "Drink, Gerlost." "What do you see in that fascist?" "He talks a lot, and you can't understand a word." "The mushroom poison will go out of your body, you'll feel better." "Tastes nice." "Eat, I want to cry out at night again." "Don't give me that look!" "Or I'll be tearing my skirts off!" "Did you drink the infusion?" "Go over there!" "Go away!" "You poisoned me!" "Go away, this isn't the theatre!" "There's a pit over there!" "Didn't you see where I went?" "What're you looking at?" "You're a wild man, Gerlost." "The infusion worked." "Not used to that many mushrooms." "Interesting?" "!" "What're you embarrassing me for?" "Bring everyone to watch then - the dogs, the deer!" "Madness!" "We have to fix the barn." "You're both big" " I have to feed you with meat." "Much better, thanks." "I'll be off..." "You're big and eat a lot." "I can't kill a deer." "Too few as it is." "Goodbye." "Thanks for the bread and salt." "Although you've got no salt." "You have good eyes, Gerlost." "But don't eat lots of mushrooms." "It's good that we've said goodbye." "I can't take anymore." "It's good here, but I'm going mad." "I must be tired of life." "Has Gerlost gone to get mushrooms again?" "Let me help!" "Where're you taking them?" "I just brought them!" "Thank you." "You really are ugly!" "Germans!" "Hide!" "Fascists." "Three of them." "One injured, and a nurse..." "One's an officer." "If I take them prisoner, we'll get the credit!" "There're no bullets."

"If it wasn't for the concussion, I'd take you out!" "The war's over for me." "What do you want?" "I don't need this war!" "To hell with it!" "I'm a man like you!" "I want to live, not to fight!" "I thought you were a cuckoo - a condemned sniper..." "But you're just a coward!" "You were crafty, throwing me in the fire." "Up all night with a bird, but still got some strength left!" "You haven't understood!" "I'm stuck with this idiot." "How can I explain if you don't want to understand?" "I'm not a soldier!" "Aren't you tired of shooting?" "If you want to fight and kill your kind, go on!" "I want a different life." "The world's not perfect, but life's no worse for that." "Perhaps you've never lived, Gerlost?" "Always fighting, and you don't know anything else?" "The world is so beautiful." "Chained to the rock, I felt it." "I wanted to write poems, music..." "even though I don't know how." "I'm off, Gerlost." "You haven't understood me, and I haven't understood you..." "More strength than you know what to do with?" "Then come help me." "She wants help." "I've seen such machines." "They never flew here though." "What's happened?" "It didn't blow up - must have run out of fuel." "Come on." "Stay here." "The infusion helped Gerlost - he's marching along happily now." "Here, read it." "Probably asking you to give yourself up." "Finland's out of the war!" "We're not fighting each other anymore!" "The war's over!" "Hello common sense!" "There's a dead pilot here." "Women shouldn't fight." "It's unnatural, painful to see." "Gerlost, I'm not a soldier and not the enemy." "It's written here that the Finns aren't fighting anymore." "Happy that your lot shot a plane down?" "Hero!" "Against these kids, you're the big hero!" "They were dropping leaflets." "We should bury them." "This is your lots' work." "And yours, Fritz!" "I'm a Finn!" "How can I tell you that I'm not fighting!" "The war's over!" "Look, Gerlost!" "I'm going to break this cursed rifle!" "You idiot, Gerlost." "Finland's signed a truce with Russia." "'This serves as a pass home.' Finland's surrendered?" "Yes, if it helps you understand." "Although I surrendered before." "Come on, lad." "Don't die." "Hold on!" "I'll carry you back in a flash." "Why can't you listen?" "Don't die!" "Don't keep quiet, groan at least, let me know you're there." "Who wounded him?" "I shot by accident." "I thought he wanted to hit me with the gun."

"I can't remember how to keep him from the land of the dead." "My granny knew how." "She'd turn into a dog and bring him back with her bark." "I'll turn my little finger into the dying one." "I'll hold his hand firm, turn you from the path of death!" "I'll stop you on the road to the land of the dead." "Hear the dog howl and come back!" "I'll hold you firm and stop you leaving your body!" "Hear the dog howl!" "It protects your hearth." "It calls you back from the path to the kingdom of the dead!" "Hear my howling!" "I'm catching up, jumping around you." "I'm biting your hands and legs, not letting you go on!" "Return to your body!" "Hear the cry of the dog!" "Turn off the road to the dead!" "I turn your soul into a floating log!" "You're carried by the waves, I'm the wind." "I'm a strong northern wind carrying you to the shore!" "Hear the dog howl on the shore!" "I drive you with my hot breath to your body lying on the shore." "Run into your body!" "Run!" "I blow your log-body to the shore!" "I take you by the roots and pull you out!" "Spirit, return to the body!" "The spirit's returned..." "Gerlost, come here!" "He's alive." "Come to me." "I need warmth and to feel a man next to me." "Anni, you just rest." "You were banging the drum and shrieking all night." "I'm not called Anni." "My parents called me Cuckoo." "People called me Lame." "My husband called me Anni." "But my real name's Cuckoo." "Gerlost, come to me." "Thanks, my dear, for everything." "For the bread and salt." "Don't be angry about anything." "You're a good woman." "Thank you, Anni." "What're you waiting for?" "I've got a lot to do." "Go." "It's not my loss." "I'm going that way." "A long way, but I'll make it!" "Good luck, Gerlost." "My name's Ivan." "Yes, that's what all Russians are called." "Gerlost Ivan." "And you get lost too." "They parted on that hill." "The snow came early that year." "They left." "One that way, the other in that direction, to their homes." "They were strong and brave people." "They'd have made good hunters." "But the war made them do bad things, and they tired of it." "They understood that, and stopped fighting each other." "They became friends, and helped me with the chores." "They always helped each other." "A bad man wounded one of them, and the other brought him to me." "I tended his wound, and didn't let him die." "One day, I realized they wanted to return to where their mothers had born them." "I sewed them warm clothing, got food for the journey." "They went to their farmsteads." "And your fathers were named like you." "Gerlost and Veiko..." | {

The greatest asset of the propagandists is your belief that you haven’t been propagandized.
By Caitlin Johnstone – Jan 11, 2020
~
Hi my name’s Maga McBootlick. I fight the establishment by cheerleading for the US President, I oppose war by supporting the same Middle East agendas as Dick Cheney, John Bolton and Bill Kristol, and I love the Iranian people so much I want to kill them with starvation sanctions.
~
I can’t believe I’ve spent a week and a half arguing with Republicans who insist that assassinating a nation’s top general is perfectly sane and normal and fine. No, idiots. No.
~
Trump supporters keep telling me how upset they are that I’m dedicating so much time and energy to criticizing his Iran warmongering. The mental irritation you experience when I criticize your president is called cognitive dissonance. It’s what being wrong feels like.
~
Note to the US government: you don’t get to murder civilians with starvation sanctions and then have anyone believe you when you tell them you stand with them. Not a thing.
~
When you target civilians with sanctions with the stated goal of making them so miserable and hungry that they rise up against their government, and then openly urge them to rise up against their government, you are trying to start a civil war. That is the thing you are doing. People should really think hard about exactly what that means.
The US Secretary of State has openly admitted that Iran is being sanctioned not so that its government will change its behavior, but so that the Iranian people will force their government out. This cannot happen without coordinated violence against Tehran, i.e. civil war.
RELATED CONTENT: US Strike Targeting Taliban Commander Causes 60 Civilians Killed
We’ve known for years that the CIA has been ramping up covert operations within Iran. Concerns that the CIA is working to foment violence and disorder in Tehran are not idle speculation. It is most definitely happening. Only question is how and to what extent.
~
Anyone who’s ever escaped from a relationship with a sociopath can see these “We stand with the people of Nation X in rising up against their government” scripts for the imperialist manipulations they are. It’s amazing how many of the people with deep understandings of manipulation are survivors of this type of abuse.
~
After Iran admitted that it downed the Ukrainian plane there were a bunch of establishment narrative managers running around online going “Ha! See?? This proves it’s wrong to doubt us on these things!” Doesn’t work that way, sugar tits. The US government has an extensive history of using lies, propaganda and false flags to manufacture consent for military agendas; skepticism until there’s hard proof is the only sane position in a post-Iraq invasion world.
Always, always remain skeptical of such assertions until clear, doubtless proof is provided. Never let them shame you out of doing so. Their giant “See, we didn’t lie this time!” social media parade actually proves the rule.
~
All the justifications you’ve heard for Trump’s Iran warmongering have been premised upon the assumption that it is entirely right and appropriate for the United States to have a military presence on the other side of the planet in nations that don’t want them to be there.
~
When I say the US government’s claims justifying Soleimani’s assassination are unproven, I always get people telling me that’s because the evidence is classified. Secret, invisible, hypothetical evidence is not evidence, guys. Not as far as public scrutiny is concerned. I’ve explained this to Russiagaters as well.
~
If a known compulsive liar who has deceived you many times in the past told you it was very, very important that you go and murder your neighbor, but he couldn’t show you the evidence proving his claim, would you take him at his word and get your gun? No? Then don’t trust the US government when it tells you something happened requiring military action.
~
Anyone who says a war with Iran could be easily won is either (A) making claims on a subject they know nothing about, or (B) advocating the use of nuclear weapons. Either way they’re not someone you should trust with your car keys.
~
Maybe the dumbest thing in all US politics is the way liberals tend to cheer for regime change in Syria while conservatives tend to support regime change in Iran. In reality it’s the same agenda: they’re just arguing over which government to oust first. Amazing propaganda trick.
RELATED CONTENT: ISIS Praises US Assassination of Qassem Soleimani, Calls it “Act of God”
Whenever I’m writing against US regime change in Syria it’s a guarantee I’ll spend the day arguing with liberals. Whenever I’m writing against US regime change in Iran it’s guaranteed I’ll spend it arguing with conservatives. Always. Every single time.
~
When the US was preparing to announce its withdrawal from the JCPOA in May 2018 I tweeted, “Make a note of which Trump supporters who were dutiful skeptics about Russiagate and Syria turn into worthless foam-brained sheep about Iran.” Can’t say the results have been especially surprising. Party loyalism is dementia.
~
When analysts accurately predict US military aggression will unite disparate factions against the US, it’s not some kind of psychic magic trick. They’re using the same common sense which says that if you act like an asshole at the pub, everyone in the pub will think you’re an asshole.
~
Those who advance war propaganda are participating in that war just as much as the people who actually go and fight in it. They’re just playing a much safer and more cowardly role.
~
Trump supporters acting like he’s been vindicated for assassinating Soleimani because it hasn’t started a full-scale war are like an abusive husband telling his wife “See? It was fine! Bet you feel stupid for yelling now!” after downing a 12 pack and taking the kids on the freeway in the back of the pickup truck.
~
USA: Want to stop being a sovereign nation?
Iraq: No. Get the fuck out.
USA: [invades, kills a million Iraqis, kills Saddam, tears apart Ba’ath party, tears apart Iraq’s military, installs puppet regime, declares Iraq and USA “partners”] How about now?
Iraq: No. Get the fuck out.
~
Assassinating a nation’s top general after arbitrarily designating him a “terrorist” is just assassinating a nation’s top general with a thin layer of narrative overlay. Yet such is the power of narrative that Trumpites have been regurgitating this exact justification like it’s a real thing.
~
Every single time Trump does something evil I get drooling QAnon cultists telling me to calm down and trust the plan. Every single time, without a single, solitary exception. And his actions get more and more depraved. This is what a propaganda construct looks like.
~
No analyst can name an appropriately comparable US general whose assassination would enrage the public like Soleimani’s did in Iran. This is because hardly any living American can remember a time when their military could be said to have rescued them from an existential threat.
~
Whenever I criticize the US president his supporters come up babbling about how Hillary would have been worse. So? Believing Trump is good because Hillary Clinton is bad is like believing cancer is good because heart disease is bad.
~
America’s two-party sock puppet show is always fake. Always. Buying into any part of it supports the whole fake show. “But the red puppet acts different from the blue puppet!” Yes. That’s how puppet shows work. Characters act different. Cheering for either is endorsing the lie.
You can absolutely make the case that one of the puppets acts less reprehensibly than the other during the show. But the show always ends the same: everyone in the audience gets a punch in the mouth and has to give all their money to the military.
~
The only real “welfare queen” that’s ever existed is the US military. Not even Reagan’s most dementia-addled fantasies ever dreamed up a welfare moocher this minted.
~
MSM can create false narratives without even speaking them explicitly, just by giving a certain impression. After the Iraq invasion 70% of Americans still believed Saddam was responsible for 9/11, just because reporters and politicians kept mentioning the two in the same breath.
~
Schrodinger’s superpower: America is simultaneously (A) an unstoppable military and economic force that ought to be in charge of the entire world, and (B) the poor widdle victim of a big, mean bully on the other side of the planet.
~
It’s crazy how many so-called anarchists wind up advocating the same regime change agendas as the CIA and the US State Department. Like “Yeah I’m so anti-authoritarian I want the single most powerful authoritarian force on the planet to shore up even more control over the world.”
~
The ideologies of fundamentalist Christianity and Zionism have been used to manufacture consent for the movement of far more military firepower than Islam ever has. All religions are ultimately toxic, but only idiots pretend Islam occupies a uniquely violent position among them.
~
“Trump is fighting the Deep State.”
“Really? Why does fighting the Deep State always look exactly the same as advancing the longstanding objectives of neoconservatives and the CIA?”
“It’s called strategy. You must not play chess.”
~
I started this gig around the same time as a few other lefty indie commentators who later ended up going full MAGA. I understand the motivation: abandoning your principles for more mainstream politics is an easy way to get shares and clicks. But it can’t possibly feel good these days.
~
It’s weird how parents and teachers tell kids that fighting is always wrong no matter who started it when we all know damn well the question of who started it is of immense importance in any real conflict.
~
I dislike strangers who condescendingly tell how to do my job.
Nobody knows how to do what I do better than me.
I do me better than anyone else in history.
I am the Michael Jordan of being Caitlin Johnstone.

Lilypie - Kids Birthday
Lilypie - Fourth Birthday
Monday, February 28, 2011
Collin had the hiccups this morning and we thought it was so funny how they were interrupting his squeals. This video shows his interrupted squeals, but also some of the other sounds he makes. He's a pretty active boy in the mornings! :)
Sunday, February 27, 2011
Collin Cooper is one month old today! :) I love how these pictures show how much he has changed!
He looks less like a tiny baby and more like a little boy already! He is too long for most of his newborn clothes already, so he’s mostly wearing size 0-3 month clothes now.
Collin’s first month has been life-changing for us. It’s been fun and exhausting, exciting and frustrating, and an experience with a very steep learning curve! Most of all, the past month with Collin has been perfect because we love being parents to this little guy!!!
Let’s talk about some of Collin’s favorite things at the age of one month…
He is entranced by brightness – so much so that this morning he couldn’t turn away from the window because the sun was shining in even though the blinds were closed.
He has really intense visual focus. He makes good eye contact and watches things very closely. I have tons of pictures with him looking straight at the camera as proof. :)
He loves to use his hands. He puts them by his face while he’s sleeping, he’s learning to put them in his mouth as a source of comfort, and he moves them like crazy when he’s wide awake and squirming around.
He enjoys interesting noises and pays good attention to the sounds around him. So far his favorite toys have the crinkle paper inside them, and he loves all the sounds his dad makes to get his attention. :)
His very favorite thing at one month old is stretching. After breakfast this morning he yawned at least eight times in the thirty minutes until he fell back asleep. Raising one or both arms over his head to stretch them is a common occurrence, and he pushes his legs way out to stretch them. Remember the bicycle ab workout? Collin even does that when he’s happy and laying flat. :)
We love Collin so much more than we ever thought possible, and we are absolutely thankful for the blessing it is to be his parents. We’re looking forward to what the next month brings! :)
Friday, February 25, 2011
Collin had a well-baby checkup today since he’ll be a month old on Sunday. We got to see his primary physician today, Dr. Bob. He’s great and Collin seemed to like him. I like the way he’s very thorough, but laid-back at the same time.
Collin is in about the 54th percentile for weight and length. I’m not sure about the percentile on his head size.
He got a full physical exam and everything looked great. He also got his second hepatitis B vaccine in the thigh. He only cried for a minute. :)
We’ve mostly just been hanging out this week and trying to get on a routine. Yesterday and today Collin took a 3 hour nap in the morning and then one hour naps in the afternoon. He eats, stays awake for 30-60 minutes, and then naps.
The most refreshing news of today is that Collin slept a 6-hour stretch and then a 3-hour stretch last night!!! :)
We’re having dinner tonight with Collin’s best friend Tanner and his parents Harrison and Janice. :)
I’ll leave you with a few photos from the week…
I said, “Raise your hand if you like helping Mom make dinner.” :)
I think he’s skeptical because he’s only met one chick so far, and a one-year-old is way too old for him! :)
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
I thought it would be interesting to record what Collin does all day, so yesterday I took notes. Here’s a pretty typical day:
6:45 wake up to eat 7:15 hang out in Dad and Mom’s bed until they’re ready to get up 8:15 watch Mom and Dad have breakfast 8:30 sit in the boppy while Mom makes Dad’s lunch (squeal every once in awhile to remind her I’m helping) 8:45 kiss Daddy when he leaves for work 9-10 hang out with Mom and give advice about my favorite birth announcements and resist the urge to sleep 10 eat 10:30 play time 11-1 nap in my crib 1 eat 1:30 watch Mom eat lunch (and wish I was having leftover Chipotle too) 2 take the dogs for a walk 3-4 nap in my crib 4 eat 4:30 show off my charming personality when our neighbor Linda visits 5-6:45 nap in my crib 6:45 eat 7 help make dinner 7:10 take my amoxicillin 7:12 puke up my amoxicillin and all my dinner 7:13 scream while I get cleaned up and changed 7:30 snuggle with Dad during dinner 8 eat 8:15 play with Daddy 8:30 bed time
Tuesday, February 22, 2011
Collin spent a little time yesterday holding onto his own toy for the first time. Until now, I’ve been holding his toys while he watches, but yesterday he held it himself and figured out how to the get the toy to his mouth! He’s growing and changing so quickly!
Wait… you want me to take it? Whoa! I’m holding my own toy! So you can get an idea of what it looks like and sounds like when Collin plays, here’s a video:
Sunday, February 20, 2011
Collin was dedicated to Jesus at this morning's church service! He was so awesome during the entire service. He slept through the rocking music and woke up for just a couple minutes while he was on display for the congregation. :)
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Kristi, the photographer we had over when Collin was one week old, posted a sneak peek of our photo shoot on her blog. She mailed a disc with all the images to us, but here are the shots she posted:These pictures are all amazing, and I'm so excited to see the rest!
Saturday, February 12, 2011
We had an appointment at Dr. Russell's on Thursday, and it was a really sweet opportunity to reflect on the journey that brought Collin into our lives. When we walked in, Dr. Russell's wife Jennifer came running around the reception desk saying, "How is he? How is he?" When I told her that he's perfect, she said, "Of course he is. I knew he would be. We prayed for this guy!" Dr. Russell came out into the hallway and cried when he saw Collin. We talked about the prayers and the faith that were such a huge part of the wait for Collin, and it was just so cool to be reminded again of how great our God is.
To think that we were offered the option of terminating the pregnancy is so scary, because look at this gorgeous guy!!!
On a lighter note, I took some shots of Collin during play time this morning. I sing to him and he dances. You know, it's just your average, every day newborn dance session. :) | {

Prophylactic penicillin versus penicillin taken at the first sign of swelling in cases of asymptomatic pulpal-periapical lesions: a comparative analysis.
In order to ascertain whether the time of administration of an antibiotic affects the occurrence of flare-ups and non-flare-up-associated swelling and pain, an analysis of components of two prospective endodontic studies on patients having asymptomatic teeth with pulpal necrosis and associated periapical radiolucent lesions (PN/PL) was done. In the first study, prophylactic penicillin was used. In the second study, penicillin (or erythromycin for patients allergic to penicillin) was taken by the patient at the first sign of swelling (patient controlled). For the patient-controlled group, as compared to the prophylactic penicillin group, there was statistically significantly more (1) incidence of flare-ups (p less than 0.05); (2) non-flare-up-associated swelling (p less than 0.001); (3) non-flare-up-associated pain (p less than 0.05); (4) combined moderate and severe pain (p less than 0.05); (5) combined incidence of flare-ups and swelling (p less than 0.001); (6) combined incidence of flare-ups and pain (p less than 0.01); and (7) combined incidence of flare-ups and both swelling and pain (p less than 0.001). There were statistically significantly fewer instances of (1) no patient post-treatment problems (p less than 0.001) and (2) combined mild pain and no patient post-treatment problems (p less than 0.001). Hence, for asymptomatic teeth with PN/PL, it appears that prophylactic antibiotics are preferable to antibiotics taken by the patient at the first sign of swelling. | {

Datena é acusado de assédio sexual por repórter Bruna Drews Jornalista disse que a Band foi conivente com o apresentador Por: Redação
José Luiz Datena está sendo processado por Bruna Drews, ex-repórter do “Brasil Urgente”, da Band, por assédio sexual.
A jornalista, de 35 anos de idade, já abriu uma representação protocolada no Ministério Público de São Paulo (SP) afirmando que o veterano teria lhe dito que ela não precisava emagrecer porque já “era muito gostosa”, além de ter lhe contado que teria se masturbado diversas pensando nela e que achava “um desperdício” a profissional “namorar uma mulher”.
Crédito: Reprodução/Band Datena teria dito que se masturbava pensando em Bruna Drews, na frente de outros funcionários da Band
De acordo com o site “Notícias da TV”, no dia 7 de junho de 2018, a equipe do quadro “A Fuga”, do extinto “Agora É Com Datena”, estava comemorando em um bar na região central da capital paulista quando Bruna foi abordada pelo comunicador, que teria dito tais afirmações acima.
Drews teria tomando a decisão de processar o apresentador só agora, pois teve uma grave crise de depressão e pânico, que a fez entrar em licença médica. A profissional também está movendo ação trabalhista contra a Band. Segundo ela, a emissora teria sido conivente com as supostas atitudes de Datena.
O jornalista, por sua vez, negou as acusações e disse que está tomando medidas judiciais sobre o caso. “Na comemoração, repeti a ela que ela era muito bonita e que não precisava emagrecer, porque ela já era competente. Tirando isso, todo o resto é mentira, calúnia e delírio”, disse ele à publicação.

Funcionária do “Brasil Urgente” desde 2014, Bruna Drews demonstrava ter uma boa relação com Datena, porém, na realidade, se sentia constrangida com os comentários que ele fazia sobre o seu corpo durante o programa ao vivo. A repórter chegou a ouvir comentários nas ruas de que era “Lanchinho do Datena” e “Mina do Datena”.
Ainda de acordo com o site, a Band não deu informações sobre o caso. “O processo trabalhista em questão tramita em segredo de Justiça, a pedido, inclusive, da própria autora. A Band está impedida de se manifestar sobre o assunto”.
Com informações do “Notícias da TV“.
ASSÉDIO SEXUAL É CRIME
O assédio contra mulheres envolve uma série de condutas ofensivas à dignidade sexual que desrespeitam sua liberdade e integridade física, moral ou psicológica. Lembre-se: onde não há consentimento, há assédio! Não importa qual roupa você esteja vestindo, de que modo você está dançando ou quantas e quais pessoas você decidiu beijar (ou não beijar): nenhuma dessas circunstâncias autoriza ou justifica o assédio. De acordo com o Código Penal, assédio sexual é aquele que ocorre onde há relações hierárquicas entre a vítima e o assediador (em regra, é aquele que ocorre em relações de trabalho — o assediador é o empregador ou chefe e o funcionário é o assediado). O que popularmente chamamos de “assédio” é o que ocorre em espaços públicos podendo configurar outros tipos de comportamentos ilícitos.
Como denunciar?
Qualquer assédio contra a mulher pode ser denunciada pelo número 180. A denúncia pode ser feita de forma anônima e é importante fornecer a maior quantidade de informações possíveis para que haja material suficiente para uma investigação e possível responsabilização do agressor. | {

EN: In today’s post I want to touch an important topic: make-up bullying. You might have encountered this problem in the past, while wearing a bold and daring make-up or while not wearing make-up at all.
The thing is, some girls love to wear make-up, some don’t, and it’s OK. And in my opinion, as long as it’s well-executed and enhances the beauty of the girl wearing it, it doesn’t matter if that look involves tons of beauty products or not.
I know what you will say, and I agree, make-up mistakes can occur pretty often. I was guilty of committing some in my early adolescence. But now I can say I’ve evolved, because I’ve read more, I watched more tutorials. And most importantly, I’ve experimented on my skin just to understand what works well for my complexion and what doesn’t.
For me, false lashes were always a no-no, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t admire other women who wear them. Same thing applies for bold liquid eye shadows or black lipstick. I would not wear them myself (at least not now), but some girls look amazing with them on, so why all the drama?
I never understood the hate between ladies: just because you don’t like something, it doesn’t mean that no one should ever wear it. Make-up is a way to stand out of the crowd, is a way to express your true self, your personality, just like clothing does.
I noticed a type of comments that keep popping on nearly all YouTube make-up tutorials I’ve ever watched, and it’s usually one of these two:
1. OMG, you look so beautiful without make-up, why do you need to wear all that crap? I mean, you are waay better without it.
2. OMG, what if a guy wakes up next to you, you look nasty without all that make-up on!
Even though they might seem different, both actually mean the same thing, but expressed in different words: BULLYING. Telling a girl she is ugly without make-up and no one will love her is really rude, but trying to stop a person from doing what she loves is also bad.
Some girls have to do it (because of acne, pronounced redness or stains), some don’t, but have a passion for it.
No matter the reason, we shouldn’t judge or make people feel bad about themselves. They are beautiful and should be perceived like this, no matter what trolls have to say.
Of course, there is a seed of truth in everything. Indeed, skin problems should be first properly treated and not hidden through make-up. But that does not mean that I don’t understand girls who do it.
In a society where looks and physical appearance are so important, whether you like it or not, perfection is a goal we all pursue. So we can’t be hypocrites and judge these girls for their choice.
I do blame horrible looks, which look like masks, but this is a different topic. Usually, these girls I’m talking about have amazing make-up skills and have learned how to properly hide their flaws.
And let’s flip the coin for a moment: NOT wearing make-up is also OK. Even if I’m in love with everything make-up related, I have lots of days when all I wear is mascara and day cream. And I know girls who would react to this like “OMG, how can you just let the world see you without any make-up on?”
Luckily for me, I no longer have annoying zips and my face looks pretty decent after I wake up. Not that I have a flawless skin, I’d wish for that, but I’ve learned to accept how I look like and understand that make-up is a choice. It is a beautiful activity and can truly make wonders on the face of any woman, but it’s not a mandatory task.
If I don’t feel like wearing clothes one day, I can’t do it, because, oh well, I work in an open space office! But if I feel like not wearing make-up, this isn’t (or shouldn’t be) a problem.
So, after reading this loong post, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! What do you think about make-up bullying and life choices?
RO: Dragelor, astăzi nu avem un subiect foarte plăcut de dezbătut, dar cred că este totuși important. Prin ”make-up bullying” eu mă refer la reacțiile negative cu care ne confruntăm uneori (fie pe rețelele sociale, fie în viața reală) referitoare la machiajul pe care îl purtăm (sau tocmai în lipsa lui).
Trebuie să stabilim un lucru: unele fete iubesc machiajul, altele nu, și e OK. În viziunea mea, un machiaj perfect e corect executat și scoate în evidență cele mai frumoase trăsături ale fetei care îl poartă. Pentru mine, ca ”spectator”, nu mai contează câte produse a folosit, câtă vreme rezultatul e flawless.
E normal să faci și greșeli în machiaj, îmi aduc aminte de o mulțime de exemple de ”așa nu” pe care le-am făcut în liceu. Dar acum pot spune că am evoluat, am citit mult și am urmărit multe tutoriale, dar cel mai important, am testat diverse stiluri, produse și culori, pentru a-mi da seama ce mi se potrivește și ce nu. Și încă sunt într-un proces continuu de îmbunătățire, pentru că întotdeaua e loc de mai bine.
Spre exemplu, eu niciodată nu m-am simțit atrasă de genele false, dar asta nu înseamnă că nu admir femeile care includ aceste mici ”artificii” destul de des în machiajul lor. Același lucru se aplică și pentru rujul negru sau fardurile cremoase în nuanțe extrem de îndrăznețe (sau glitter).
Dar simplul fapt că eu nu le folosesc nu îmi dă dreptul să critic sau să desconsider fetele care o fac. Dacă o tipă arată absolut genial cu gene false + ruj negru + fard de pleoape verde intens (un look pe care mie probabil nu mi-ar plăcea să îl abordez), nu pot decât să o admir, bravo ei.
Haideți să lăsăm puțin drama la o parte și să apreciem talentul și dedicația pentru un anumit domeniu, chiar dacă noi nu avem înclinație spre acel gen de tehnică sau cromatică.
Niciodată nu am înțeles această ură tacită și mentalitatea de tipul ”dacă mie nu îmi place, înseamnă că e greșit”. Ba chiar deloc, mai ales în domeniul machiajului.
În fond, vorbim despre un mod de a îți exprima personalitatea, creativitatea, și de a te diferenția de cei din jur. Iar asta face și vestimentația pe care o alegem în fiecare zi, nu?
Unul dintre motivele pentru care am scris articolul ăsta este faptul că, după ce am vizionat o mulțime de tutoriale pe YouTube, am observat că există două tipuri de comentarii care apar frecvent:
1. ”Ești atât de frumoasă fără machiaj, de ce ai nevoie de sute de produse ca să îți acoperi fața ? Arăți mult mai bine fără toate porcăriile alea pe ten”
2. ”Arăți groaznic fără machiaj, dacă se trezește un tip lângă tine dimineața și te vede așa, se sperie”
Deși par să fie contradictorii, de fapt ambele tipuri de comentarii sunt exact la fel și ating același scop: de a face tipa respectivă să se simtă prost, fie că o face printr-un compliment mascat sau o jignire directă.
Iar asta nu e OK. Să îi spulberi unei fete complet încrederea în sine printr-un simplu ”ești urâtă fără machiaj” nu te ajută cu nimic. Dar la fel, nu e OK să descurajezi o persoană din a-și urma pasiunea.
Unele fete simt nevoia să se machieze în fiecare zi (pentru a-și acoperi coșurile, roșeața sau petele), iar altele nu o fac din necesitate, ci din simplă plăcere.
Dar indiferent de motiv, nu avem dreptul să judecăm și să jignim oameni doar pentru că așa ni se pare nouă corect. Sfaturi de genul ”machiajul strică tenul/ îmbătrânește” poate da oricine, dar tu, din spatele unui monitor, nu ai de unde să știi nimic despre obiceiurile de îngrijire ale fetei în cauză, nu știi ce ten are, nu îi cunoști complexele sau motivația pentru care o face.
Desigur, este și o scânteie de adevăr în orice. Și eu sunt de acord că problemele tenului ar trebui rezolvate, nu doar ascunse de privirea lumii. Dar totuși le înțeleg pe fetele care sunt nevoite să o facă.
Într-o societate în care aspectul fizic și aparențele contează mai mult decât ne-am dori să recunoaștem, e clar că nu putem să ignorăm modul în care ne prezentăm în fața celorlalți. Nu putem fi ipocriți și să judecăm aceste fete pentru alegerea lor de a se simți confortabil în propria piele, pentru că și noi am face la fel dacă am fi în locul lor.
Din nou, nu îmi plac deloc ”măștile” care doar dezavantajează purtătoarele lor, cu aspect ieftin și mult prea exagerat, dar aici vorbim despre cu totul altceva. De obicei, tipele astea despre care vă vorbesc, așa numitele Beauty Gurus, chiar au talent și abilitățile necesare pentru a își acoperi defectele prin machiaj, iar rezultatul final de obicei te lasă cu gura căscată.
Dar hai să ne gândim puțin și la situația opusă: să nu te machiezi deloc e la fel de OK. Deși sunt puțin (mai mult) obsedată de machiaj și produse cosmetice, deseori ies din casă după ce am aplicat doar mascara și cremă de față (uneori, nici mascara nu intră în calcul). Iar multe fete ar fi foarte surprinse și cumva dezamăgite auzind asta, probabil m-ar întreba speriate ”cum poți să ieși în lume fără machiaj ? chiar îi lași pe ceilalți să te vadă așa?”
Din fericire, după ce am ieșit din adolescență, am avut noroc să scap de coșuri și acum mă simt destul de confortabil cu tenul meu. Asta nu înseamnă că am un ten perfect, nici nu se pune problema, dar am învățat să mă accept așa cum sunt și să înțeleg că machiajul e o alegere. Este o activitate extrem de plăcută, o pasiune frumoasă, și poate să aibă un efect wow asupra noastră și a celor care ne înconjoară, atunci când îl purtăm. Dar nu este o obligație.
Deci dacă nu am chef să mă machiez într-o zi, sau prefer să dorm cu o jumătate de oră în plus, nu ar trebui să fie o problemă.
Mi-aș dori foarte mult să citesc părerile voastre despre acest subiect ! Voi ce credeți despre make-up bullying și alegerile pe care le facem în fiecare zi ?

‘The Babadook’ Is The Scariest Movie You’ll See All Year (And One of the Best)
Halloween has arrived, and it’s a shame that the Babadook likely won’t be haunting your dreams. Yet. Hell, maybe consider yourself lucky The Babadook won’t be released until November 28th stateside. You might not be ready. When it does, the critical darling (a phrase rarely trotted out for horror fare) whose performance at film festivals this year was the cinematic equivalent of Madison Bumgarner in this year’s World Series, will be the next The Ring or Paranormal Activity, a freaky phenomenon. Except it’s much better than either of those movies, and it’s not even close.
The Australian horror film from writer-director Jennifer Kent presents a parent’s worst nightmare, and I don’t mean a blood-curdling monster (though there is that). I’m referring to a son who’s the ultimate pain in the ass, one so troublesome, crazy and annoying that he’s almost impossible to love. The Babadook showcases a realistic mother/son scenario where you can forgive a mother for wanting to give up… ON A SIX YEAR OLD BOY. Even before Mister Babadook starts crawling around the chimney and walls of her drab house, Amelia (Essie Davis) can’t sleep, because Samuel is the nightmare.
Samuel (Noah Wiseman) is obsessed with monsters and magic, but not in a cute, healthy Monster Kid sort of way. He’s aggressive and violent with his peers, “that boy” who gets kicked out of school. He’s just as much a monster as the Babadook, one that has left Amelia an exhausted husk who can hardly stand up right at work, tending for senior citizens with dementia. Is there someone with a sadder existence than Amelia? Nope; Amelia can’t even bear to celebrate Sam’s birthday, because it falls on the anniversary of the death of her husband and Sam’s father, who died driving a pregnant Amelia to the hospital.
While the introduction of the Babadook elicits eye rolling on the surface, it sparks nothing but dread onscreen: Sam finds a blood red pop-up book called “Mister Babadook” on his shelves and forces his mother to read it before bed (“If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of… the Babadook”). Before long, he’s in tears, another night of sleep down the drain, and the book produces a hulking, pitch black beast with a top hat and shiny, dark claws that would make Edward Scissorhands soil his shorts.
As Samuel gets worse, Amelia’s life deteriorates even further (somehow), and the Babadook takes over. Essie Davis (The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions) delivers one of the most fearless, captivating, through-the-ringer-and-then-some performances I’ve seen in a horror movie ever, let alone this year. She’s loving, embarrassed, distraught, exhausted, malevolent, murderous and insane, many times in the same scene. Essie’s work is right there with Alexandra Essoe’s feral performance in Starry Eyes, two carnal creations that would make the immortal Isabelle Adjani proud.
Kent displays stunning and admirable restraint in the amount she shows the Babadook, making it even scarier when we actually do. Plus, I don’t know if I could’ve handled more of the monster. Not since I was a ten year old watching The Exorcist was I more tempted to just close my eyes, knowing it’d be better for my long term health. But I didn’t want to miss a frame of this thrilling freakshow.
I’m struggling to come up with a creepier creature than the Babadook, a testament to the movie’s practical FX and sound wizardry. If Essie Davis is the film’s MVP, its sound is the glue that makes everything around it better. The sound production, whether it’s the beast’s unnerving skittering movements, its unearthly booming voice, or its clinking claws (holy snikt), inspiring greater depths of fear.
While it never should be in doubt, movies like The Babadook prove horror’s legitimacy even while Ouija gives credence to the genre’s unfair scorn and derision (and becomes a box office success anyways). If there’s any justice, The Babadook will be scaring the crap out of a large mainstream audience come Thanksgiving time. Along with Starry Eyes and Housebound, The Babadook towers over the rest of the horror landscape in 2014 and beyond.
GRADE: A
The Babadook arrives On Demand and in limited release on November 28th. | {

Lexus UK sales in 2014 soar to seven-year high
Lexus signed off 2014 with its highest UK sales total since 2007. The 11,572 vehicles sold represented an increase of 28.4 per cent on the previous year’s total.
Central to this success is the phenomenal performance of the new IS sports saloon, which almost doubled its 2013 Lexus UK sales figure. Notably more than 90 per cent of ISleaving Britain’s showrooms have been the hybrid IS 300h, confirming the great customer appeal of its efficient, refined and reliable performance, with significant added tax benefits for business car drivers.
The momentum generated during the past 12 months has the potential to increase further during 2015, not least with the arrival of the new NX, Lexus’s first crossover model. Around 1,000 NX 300h hybrids have already reached the UK’s roads and early next year the range will grow to include the NX 200t, the first model to use Lexus’s new 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
The high-performance V8-powered RC F has enjoyed enthusiastic critical response, providing an excellent platform for the launch of the RC coupe, one of a number of new Lexus model introductions that will take place in the coming year.
Richard Balshaw, Lexus Director, said: “The great results achieved in 2014 reflect how Lexus is becoming a more exciting and distinctive luxury brand, giving customers real choice when it comes to innovative styling, advanced technology and the established benefits of Lexus quality and reliability.
“The immediate success of the NX is one example of how we are taking the brand into important new market areas and giving even more customers the chance to enjoy the special benefits of Lexus ownership.”

Congratulations to Lexus on this strong performance. It’s great to see so many hybrid Lexuses replacing noisy diesels and their particulate outputs on our roads. The new NX is a terrific package, and one morning with it was enough to make me sign up. It would be good, however, to see more of the features on available on the Premier NX grade offered as options more widely across the range. For example, the head-up display is excellent, and a valuable safety aid. I’d certainly pay to specify the HUD on the NX Luxury I’ve ordered if there’s a change of heart before the build date.
Hello Martin
Thanks for your post and for your feedback after driving the new Lexus NX.
We do take on board your comments about the specification between the vehicle grades particularly the HUD, and will pass this back to the Lexus product team. There are no plans to change the grade specification at present however this is an area where we do value feedback as this does enable us to improve this in the future.
Thanks again and if you do have any other questions about your NX please let us know. | {
