No Exposed Breasts, No Peace!
Editor's Note: Work readers beware! Several links in this piece take one to sites with naked breasts. These have been labeled Not Safe For Work!
Feminists, bitterly clinging to their bitterness, are now trying to suck the life out of yet another thing: boobs. Not content to just let us suffer with the painful mental image of the bra burning days of yore, they are now going full-on topless in the name of "gender equality" and "normalizing" of women's breasts -- as if anyone finds them an oddity. It seems to me that people like breasts. Also, equality doesn't mean what they think it means. Neither does "gender" either for that matter.
So these topless rallies, organized by gotopless.org (NSFW!), are striving to take the "stigma" out of the barbaric notion of, you know, wearing clothing. "I am woman hear me roar. And watch me sag!" or "No sagging ta-tas, no peace! Don't oppress us with your fancy pants civilized -- and clothed - society!"
As the pictures sadly indicate (NSFW!), now ruin-all-that-is-good feminists are even attempting to take the "fun" out of funbags. This does not suit. I mean, how can I maintain my Power of the Rack if racks are flopping about openly, all willy nilly? That's the opposite of empowerment! For that alone, they must pay.
And what of the strippers -- excuse me, exotic dancers? Who will think of the strippers?! If all women flit about topless, that devalues strippers and their, um, commodities. It's not very "exotic" if one can see bazongas on every main street in America. That doesn't even make sound economic sense, what with the staggering unemployment and all. By the way, feminists, isn't that more of a pressing issue than the scourge of topless stigmatization? No? Silly me! That must be my "tool of the Patriarchy (TM)" talking.
Shanda Panda (no, really), a rally attendee, trusts men not to be enticed by openly displayed boobs (maybe she is only talking about hers, to be fair). "I have faith in men that they can control their responses to seeing a breast," she said. Really? Yet feminists trust men with absolutely nothing else in the entire world. Ever. In perpetuity. Well, except for when their victimhood sisterhood needs to run to Big Daddy Government for some delusionally perceived wrong, of course. Her absurd statement falls flat (much like the breasts of hippie broads) by the rally itself and the reasons many attended (NSFW!).
The town centre was soon packed with onlookers cheering and taking photos as topless women, accompanied by men wearing bras or bikini tops, danced on the nearby fountain.
Gee, what do you think they were cheering and taking photos of? In New York, attendees were open about why they attended:
"This is unbelievable - and super," said Dalvin Jan, 21, who rents bicycles for a living on Central Park South. "I'm going to tell my wife to join in."
With Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" blaring from speakers and chants of "free your breasts, free your mind," the troupe of bare-breasted women -- and their enthusiastic male supporters -- paraded their way along Central Park South.

Sodium carbonate is a chemical present in a variety of commonly used industrial and household products, such as certain bleaching agents, automatic dishwashing detergents and glass and paper products, MedlinePlus says. This substance, also referred to as soda ash or washing soda, may cause severe side effects if swallowed, inhaled or exposed to the skin. If you develop symptoms of sodium carbonate poisoning, seek emergency medical care.
Difficulty Breathing
Inhaling air-borne sodium carbonate may cause severe respiratory side effects, such as difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. This toxic substance may inflame your throat or respiratory tract and may cause difficulty swallowing, hoarseness or wheezing. Without appropriate medical intervention, breathing difficulties may cause life-threatening medical complications.
Stomach Upset
Accidentally swallowing sodium carbonate may cause significant irritation along your digestive tract or stomach. You may feel nauseous or begin vomiting, Drugs.com says. Diarrhea may also occur and may result in frequent, loose bowel movements. Severe or persistent nausea, vomiting or diarrhea should be discussed with your doctor as soon as possible to ensure you receive appropriate treatment and care.
Skin or Eye Irritation
Skin or eye irritation may occur if these body regions are exposed to sodium carbonate. Your skin or eyes may appear unusually red or inflamed and may begin to itch profusely. Eye irritation may also occur in conjunction with mild to moderate eye pain.
Oral, Chest or Abdominal Pain
This toxic chemical may cause side effects of mild to severe oral, chest or abdominal pain. If you develop sudden or severe pain in any of these body regions, contact a medical professional as soon as possible. Such side effects may also be signs of alternate medical problems, such as a heart attack or appendicitis.
Excessive consumption or exposure to sodium carbonate may cause shock. Shock occurs due to severely low blood pressure and may be life-threatening. Symptoms of shock include dizziness, bluish skin, confusion, weak pulse, shallow breathing, anxiety, chest pain or loss of consciousness, MedlinePlus reports. Emergency medical care is required if you experience symptoms of shock.

This farming year really started way back in December when we began making plans for the farm. We needed to secure land, a whole bunch of tools (some expensive, like the tractor), and seeds. We needed to figure out how we were going to make a living in our inaugural year, knowing full well that first year small farmers don't really make money from the farm.
With a rough plan in place, seeds ordered, and plant starting materials procured, the first seeds were started in my bedroom in February. In March and April we moved everything to the farm and started a whole bunch of plants in a small hoophouse we built from scratch for a few hundred dollars. Things started going in the ground in early April. Our new tractor broke down and needed a clutch early in the season. We fixed it ourselves and continued going. In mid-June, we delivered our first share of produce.
It's been five months since we sent those shares out. Finally, with a little bit of time to breathe we can look back and see how everything went.
We think the season started out a little rough because of a late frost and extreme early heat. Some things died in the frost, and other things went to seed or got stunted early because of the heat and were therefore unusable as food for most people.
We had some early season scares and losses due to a lack of water. Spring carrots and lettuce mix all died in the drought. Tomatoes and lovage almost died, but we were able to give them just enough water to make it, and we actually think they fared better because of the stress. I'm not saying those tomatoes were the best I've ever had. Wait. Yes I am. It was the drought though, not us, who made those things taste so good. A lack of water helps concentrate sugars in the fruits of the tomato plants. But we could have done without the death scare.
A combination of ground squirrels and cucumber beetles did a number on our squash plants. We fought them as best we could (with our bare hands!) and, in the end, we think we were able to harvest the perfect amount of cucumbers and summer squash, but wish we could have gotten a little more winter squash out of the deal. But it is what it is. It was the worst cucumber beetle invasion we've ever seen, so, all in all, we're happy with what we got out of it.
Disease took out our sunflowers (the seed part, not the plant) and dry beans. At least they served the purpose of providing beauty, nectar for insects, and in the case of the beans, fixing nitrogen from the air into the soil.
The weeds went crazy this year when we did get sporadic rain, and tending to their destruction caused us to get some of our fall plants out a little later than we would've liked. And the fall turned out to be colder than normal, which slowed down crop growth. So, we apologize for not having fall broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. We also wish we could've given out more in the way of fall roots. But we were able to figure out the carrot and lettuce mix thing, and we think they turned out great for the last few shares of the season.
Looking back on it, despite some of the failures,we feel like we were able to provide more value than our customers paid for their shares, which is the goal for all good CSA farmers. We want our customers to share in the bounty. A bountiful year is good for everyone involved in the CSA partnership. We feel like the variety we offered is hard to find, and some of the weeks we had a hard time fitting all the produce in the delivery bags.
Right now, the field is mostly put to bed. Winter rye and and mammoth red clover are growing, providing cover to the ground and helping renew the fertility of the soil. We need to find new land for next year, which is what our main focus is right now. After that, we will be moving all our stuff and getting ready for our second year.
We don't get much of a break. Planning for next year will start soon. We will order seeds in January. We'll start our alliums and nightshades in February and March again. And we'll be making veggie deliveries in June.
We think it was a great first year. Thanks to all our members for participating in our farm and making it a successful year. We hope you enjoyed your produce, and we hope you fell in love with a couple new veggies in the process. Next year will be even better, with new veggies and plenty of old favorites. We hope to see you all again in June (or earlier--you can come out and visit the farm as early as April if you want to help out or see how things get started).

Voters of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma went to the polls on Saturday and re-elected Chad Smith to a third term as chief of the second largest tribe in the country. Unofficial results showed Smith with nearly 60 percent of the vote. Challenger Stacy Leeds, a former tribal court justice, received 41 percent in an election that attracted national attention. "I am pleased that we ran such a good race and I have no regrets," Leeds said on her campaign website after she phoned Smith to congratulate him on his victory. During the race, Smith and Leeds squared off on economic development, health care, gaming and other issues facing the tribe. But what attracted scrutiny actually happened months ago, when Cherokee voters revoked the citizenship the Freedmen, the descendants of African slaves, in March. Smith defended the move, calling it an exercise of the tribe's inherent right to define its identity. Leeds also believed such decisions belonged to voters, though she wrote the tribal court decision that said the Freedmen were entitled to membership. Amid controversy, the Freedmen were reinstated in order to participate in Saturday's election but their fate, as well as the fate of the tribe, remains in doubt. Congress, tribal and federal courts and the Bureau of Indian Affairs are all considering the legality of the ouster of an estimated 2,800 African descendants. Just two days before the election, Rep. Diane Watson (D-California) introduced legislation to cut the Cherokee Nation's federal funding and revoke federal approval of the tribe's gaming operations. Only until the Freedmen are fully reinstated would the tribe regain funding and be able to reopen its casinos. Watson was joined by several African-American members of Congress but also by Rep. Eni Faleomavaega (D-American Samoa), a member of the Congressional Native American Caucus. Faleomavaega has been a consistent supporter of Indian issues during his time in the House. Meanwhile, the Freedmen and the tribe are involved in two major court cases. In the first, tribal court system is hearing appeals by the Freedmen against the March 3 election that ousted them from the tribe. In the second, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., is considering the rights of the Freedmen. Judge Henry H. Kennedy has already blasted the tribe for what he said was a history of marginalization against citizens of African descent. The BIA has largely stayed out of the fray and government lawyers have called the dispute an intra-tribal matter that should not be handled in the federal courts. But assistant secretary Carl Artman has urged the tribe to respect an 1866 treaty that recognized the rights of the Freedmen. Last month, Artman reiterated the BIA's role in reviewing any changes that Cherokee voters make to the tribe's constitution. He rejected a 2003 amendment that sought to cut the agency out of the process for two main reasons -- he said the Freedmen didn't vote in that election and that their subsequent removal was an "apparent violation" of the treaty. In response, the tribe added the same amendment to Saturday's ballot. According to the unofficial results of the election, it passed with 63 percent of the vote. The approval sets up another showdown with the BIA over federal oversight. Back in 2003, at least one official -- Janette Hanna, the agency's director for the Eastern Oklahoma region -- planned to reject the amendment because she said it would have disenfranchised the Freedmen. In an interview last month, Artman described the agency's rejection of the 2003 amendment as "administerial" in nature and said it would not alter the flow of federal funding to the Cherokee Nation. That differed from the BIA's treatment of the Seminole Nation, which lost funding when it tried to deny citizenship to the Freedmen. Another letter on Friday reaffirmed the BIA's views. Jerry Gidner, a deputy director in Washington, D.C., said the agency will continue to provide funding to the tribe "unless otherwise directed by a federal court or federal legislation." In addition to re-electing Smith, his running mate Joe Grayson Jr., and approving the constitutional amendment, Cherokee voters elected 14 members of the tribal council. Two more seats will be decided in a run-off scheduled for July 28. Election Results:

Donald Trump has blamed the US constitution for the problems he has encountered during his first 100 days in office.
In an interview with Fox News to mark the milestone, the Republican called the system of checks and balances on power "archaic".
"It's a very rough system," he said. "It's an archaic system … It's really a bad thing for the country."

Trump on if he may start war with North Korea: 'I don't know'
It comes after a torrid few months in which Mr Trump has faced a series of setbacks and embarrassments.
His introduction of a travel ban on immigration from seven mainly Muslim countries was struck down by the courts, forcing him to put forward an amended version.
Weeks later, his healthcare bill was withdrawn after it failed to secure sufficient backing from Republican senators.
For more news videos visit Yahoo View, available now on iOS and Android.
Those mishaps contributed to a sense of chaos that has seen Mr Trump's popularity fall to unprecedented lows for a US president at this stage of their term. Mr Trump's current ratings hover around 40 per cent; at the same point in his presidency, Barack Obama was on nearly 65 per cent.
Speaking to Fox, Mr Trump admitted he was "disappointed" with Republican senators, despite claiming to have "great relationships" with many of them.
The US President also urged Americans to celebrate 1 May as "Loyalty Day" – a recognition of what he said were the US values of loyalty to "individual liberties, to limited government, and to the inherent dignity of every human being".
The tradition dates from the Cold War, when the celebration was established as a way to stop traditional May Day celebrations being used by left-wing organisations.
Despite the setbacks, Mr Trump insisted he had kept his promises to the American people during his first 100 days in office.
"One hundred days ago, I took the oath of office and made a pledge: We are not merely going to transfer political power from one party to another, but instead are going to transfer that power from Washington, DC, and give it back to the people," he wrote in an article for the Washington Post.
"Issue by issue, department by department, we are giving the people their country back. After decades of a shrinking middle class, open borders and the mass offshoring of American jobs and wealth, this government is working for the citizens of our country and no one else.
"In the past 100 days, I have kept that promise — and more."

What a week, eh? Feathers ruffled and flying. Kerfuffle upon kerfuffle that had the cinetrix feeling downright relieved she was not selected to take part in this year's Moving Image Institute in Film Criticism and Feature Writing. Really.
Yeah, that's right. The cinetrix applied and was dinged,** if by dinged you mean not even a "polite" form letter in the mail. [Classy.] Thing is, she's thankful, and not in a Groucho way. Thankful she didn't have to pay out of pocket to schlep to Manhattan and back. Thankful she didn't have to stay in a midtown hotel for days on end. [Related: Siberia open these days?] Thankful she didn't then have to schlep from midtown to Queens and back each day.
Thankful most of all for the reminder of what a venal, striving, grasping little glacier-shit island New York can be. [Seriously, people. Get a life. There's a war on.]
In the application, you were asked to describe what would be a likely/hoped-for outcome of your participation in the institute. The cinetrix said "access." Ha. When she saw the list of participants, well, she's in email contact with most of them already, and the speakers she's either heard speak before [Haskell], has e-mailed with, already counts as an old friend [Peary], or they can't do a whole lot for her [most publicists] living outside a major market. Oh, and Sam Sifton, Lorne Manly, and Ann Kolson. [One degree, she's guessing, is all that would take.]
So, yeah. I don't need the magic feather to fly. Thanks, unwieldily named Institute!
But I do have two questions.
- Who was lucky number 13? As Stu posted back in February, "Twelve applicants will be selected. In order to encourage geographic diversity,*** hotel accommodations in midtown Manhattan will be provided for five nights for fellows living more than 50 miles from New York City." However, when you visit the 2008 Introduction page, it reads, "Thirteen print and on-line journalists from around the country will take part in an intensive program designed to offer an expanded appreciation of the art, business, and history of film, and a global view of the complex and rapidly evolving nature of the film and entertainment industry."
- When, if ever, will the Institute post the participants' Assignments and Conversations, the way it did last year? Again, citing the Introduction, "Each institute is supplemented with a Web site where lectures, materials, and conversations are posted. This online venue creates a place for participants and alumni of repeating institutes to exchange experiences, ideas and sources. The sites also permit journalists who are unable to attend to listen and learn."
Ahem, I resemble that remark. While she's waiting, the cinetrix will keep busy watching films, teaching films, and, yep, reading and writing about films.
*Yes, it's racist. Also not so PETA friendly. And carnies get a bad rap. Tell me something I don't know. Better still, go watch The Three Caballeros and It's All True back to back and then we can talk about something constructive, like the Good Neighbor Policy and the Global South. It's cool. I'll wait.
**The make-up of the selection committee is unknown, but do feel free to make unsupported, wild guesses as to who put the kibosh on the cinetrix's candidacy in the comments.
***Defined, apparently, as having some connection to the great state of Texas or George Mason University, as far I can can reckon.

- Aggressive styling
- Fantastic performance figures
- Ferrari's grand touring heritage
- Very expensive
- Ferrari's reputation for reliability is poor
- Not much space for bringing things with you
Buying tip
features & specs
The 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is an amazingly impressive grand tourer, with stunning looks and ferocious performance.
The F12 Berlinetta captures the best of the classic front-engined Ferraris -- proportion, elegance, performance -- while executing each detail in the most modern means possible.
Sitting at the pinnacle of Ferrari's range (with the exception of the LaFerrari hypercar), the F12 Berlinetta's $330,000 price tag is as massive as the car itself is impressive. In sight, sound, touch, and feedback -- Ferrari hits all its marks in this ferociously powerful yet fantastically refined super-tourer.
The F12's long, low body is wrapped in dramatically swooping lines that rise over the front fender and dive down, then back up along the side. The nose is aggressive and highly detailed, with a clear mix of aerodynamics and aesthetics. Inside, the FF's cabin is wrapped in luxurious leathers and high-tech style, its F1-inspired steering wheel with "manettino" controls giving it a racing-inspired touch.
Under the hood lies a fierce 6.3-liter V-12 rated at 729 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque. Ferrari claims 80 percent of peak torque is available from just 2,500 rpm, aiding the car's rocket-like acceleration: from a stop, 60 mph arrives in just 3.1 seconds. Top speed is somewhere north of 211 mph. The potent V-12 redlines at 8,700 rpm.
Features and equipment are what you want them to be, especially if you engage Ferrari's personalization service, Tailor Made. Colors, materials, options, technology -- you name it, Ferrari will likely do it. For the right price.
Space is ample in the front seat, and while Ferrari isn't known for making the most accommodating seats in the industry, they're generally good for most body types. Cargo space isn't abundant, though; the F12 is best suited to short overnight trips. Ferrari-loving golfers will want to consider the FF instead.
We haven't had a chance to get behind the wheel of the F12 Berlinetta yet, but we'll update this space when we do.

- 2 cups Raw Almonds, soaked 4 hours to overnight, then rinsed and drained
- 2-4 cups Water
- 1 Tbls. Vanilla (not imitation)
- Sea Salt (Optional)
Put nuts in blender and cover with water 1-2 times above the level of the nuts. Less water makes a richer milk: more water makes a skimmer milk. Blend at high speed until the nuts are chopped as fine as possible. This will take less than a minute in a high-speed blender, longer in a regular one.
Get a large colander and line it with piece of clean, plain muslin cloth. Put the colander inside a larger bowl to catch the liquid. Pour the slurry into the cloth a bowl beneath to catch the milk. Gather it up and hold the bag tightly closed, gently "milk" the ground nuts and water until most of the liquid is pressed out.
Add a touch of sea salt if you wish to make it taste more like cow's milk, or other desired flavors. Serve or refrigerate. Use within 4 days.
Makes about 4 cups. (It was still good after 7 days, but I froze the leftovers of the second batch in ice cube trays.)

Are you selfish or immature? Or do you think you are well educated and mature?
It does not matter if you are younger or older when it comes to the degree of maturity you have. Some adults are not really mature in my opinion, whereas some young people are smart and know what to do to deal with their lives. I strongly believe that being mature is really important in our lives . It does not matter if you have a job or career or something, it does not necessarily make you a grown-up man.
I was in a bathroom on a bullet train and did not know how to lock the door, so I asked a guy who seemed to be 50- something randomly,
"Hey, would you mind if I ask you to tell me how to lock this door?"
He gave me a glance without saying anything. What is this? I can not understand what those who do not say anything think in their heads. At least he could have said,
"I don't know or I don't have time to tell you how."
I have been told how to behave respectfully to others since I was just a kid, and I would definitely have said something like that if I had been asked back then.
Those older people who have been living in society for a long time do not even know how to deal with these situations.
Yes, life is not always fair. Life is tough and fun. You do not know what is lurking around the corner, therefore you have to prepare for the unfairness. You have to be strong and mature enough to deal with troublesome situations.
What are the differences between mature and immature people?
- You do not have time to think and care about others because you put yourself first in any situation
If you think you are really modest and thoughtful to others, you do not conduct something that hurts others' feelings. I know human beings are not perfect and never will be, but at least they can try their best to begin with. This is applicable to any situation, not only in the workplace but also relations with your friends and people close to you. I will mention this later, but everything in your life is all about trust with others; if you cannot not build that trust, you are done in this world.
- You do not think about consequences your choice will bring down the road
This is critical as long as you live in this human society where everything you do gives you responsibilities. Some people do things in the spur of the moment and live their lives following their hearts all the time. I am not saying that you have to pretend to be nice and predict what is going to happen to you at any given moment, but I am saying that you have to be aware of the consequences your choice will potentially produce. And please do not lie to people. Be honest always. If you lie and are dishonest to others, you will absolutely have no choice but to put yourself at the corner of the room in the end where you can not move anywhere. If you lie, you will be covered up with lies all over your body and soul which leads you to feeling sorry for yourself later. So be careful with every choice you make from now on. Be cautious.
- You judge people by their age, appearance, ethnicity and background
As I said, it does not matter if you are younger or older. When it comes to the degree of maturity, it is all about how well you can care about others along with yourself at the same time. I never judge people until I talk to them face to face. Only after a long time knowing them is when I start judging them. I have been talking to wide ranges of people in terms of education, ethnicity and age. It is always true that I look up to those who are "NICE and KIND" and don't judge others.
- You don't think ahead and say things unnecessarily in the heat of moment
Everyone has experienced this at least once. You say something you do not really mean, and regret what you have said later on. It happened to me when I was a kid to my friends and parents, but as you get older, you start appreciating what you have now. Of curse it doesn't get easier overnight to control yourself and your emotions in the heat of the moment, but let's just step back and take a look at the big picture and think in the long run before you say something. It takes much effort and time to learn how to deal with these situation.
- You kick yourself all the time and do not take any actions to make it better
Some people who have people skills really do not kick themselves all the time. They know themselves well and know how to get across their points efficiently to others. Everything they say they are sure enough that is exactly what they want to tell to people, plus they are aware of pros and cons of it. They are following their hearts in a different way from those who are pretending to follow their hearts with a little bit of doubt in the back of their minds. They confirm that they can deal with both pros and cons of a stiuation, in other words, they are confidence in themselves. They can quickly answer those questions which might sound challenging and controversial. I am not mature enough yet , but at least I do have a consistent discipline in myself I have to follow, which gives me a clear idea of what to do and how to deal with people. When I kick myself, I always take an action to make it better and learn from it bit by bit.
- You go back on promises unreasonably
Some are really faithful to their words and some are not. Some say "I will do this for you" and then say "I can not" without giving any reasons, leaving you choking in their dust. You will get confused and hurt just a little bit. If they keep doing this, they are done as a person. When you promise something, you have to make suere if it is really possible for you to do that beforehand. If you are not sure, you might want to say, "I can not do that because I am not sure about it" with some explanations of why you are not sure. Be honest always.
- You cannot bear being alone
There is always time you feel lonely if you live on the surface of the earth as a human being. It is inevitable and it is also human nature. I have been feeling lonely as a matter of fact for a year. I always hope I have someone who will listen to me in the time of trouble, sitting side by side, but that does not happen always. Most of time I have to tell myself, "I can do this by myself", " If I do not do it, who else do it for me?" Burdens can just fall onto your shoulders and make it hard to breath when you do not have someone to talk to. However, those who have been through this experiences at least for 3 or 4 years as a total know how difficult it is and can develop sense of toughness. You can always be needy, and that is life.
- You have no consistency in your words
You see people saying something and then later say something different and it makes you confused enough to dislike them. If you are the type of person who does not have consistency in your words, be careful when you interact with others, otherwise you will lose your credibility easily. Imagine yourself having a friend who promised you to hang out at the park next weekend, but he/she then says something like "I am sorry I can not do that next weekend because I have to do my family stuff", but you see him/her hanging out with other friends at the park next weekend. Yeah, it hurts you so badly right? So, do not be like that.
- You do not realize things you do to make you look bad (or do it deliberately)
Some kids say that they did not know what was right and wrong at that time when they had done whatever it was. It is alright and even a little cute, which makes you feel that you want to take care of them and teach them how-to-x, but if they are adults, it turns into a totally different story.
- You do things that destroy your trust with others
I should have put this one on the top of this list since this is the main point of this article. It is okay to do whatever you want, no one is going to stop you from doing it, but it is not professional to easily destroy your trust with others. As long as you live in this society, everything here is working under the trust and bonds between you and people, in a nutshell, you must follow all the lists above. People can be cruel to those who care about them most. Think about your parents. When you are young, what did you say to them? Yeah, when you hit puberty, you sometimes could not control yourself. People always do this to others. We have to be careful about this.
What makes you mature?
I hate to break it to you, but to be mature, you should be able to handle all the things I named above; however, if you ask me to decide on one thing that clearly distinguishes those who are immature and mature, that is:
Those who can forgive others are the ones who are mature.
Of course, it is not really easy. To forgive others means to let everything that has hurt you a lot go for good .
You cannot rub it in anymore.
You cannot even talk about it for the rest of your life to those who did bad to you.
You cannot ask all the details and reasons why they did it to you once you forgive them.
After the vary moment you forgive them, it is going to be the battle against yourself from then.
You have to deal with all the emotions inside of you, trying to let everything go.
Sometimes you have to pretend that you are doing fine and act friendly in the process of rebuilding relations with others even though you are not still sure if you digested everything already.
It is one thing to forgive, but it is another thing to forget.
If you can do both of them at the same time, you are really mature.
It takes times, but at least if you can forgive others no matter what, people can tell that you are mature.
You can forgive because you are strong.
Be strong, boys and girls.

iPhone SDK 3.0; Debug It! in beta
As promised, we're delivering the revised version of iPhone SDK Development, now updated for the very latest 3.0 SDK release from Apple. Apple released the SDK publicly today, so now we're releasing today as well.
Nobody likes to talk about debugging, but everyone needs to do it—even with test-driven development, even with a crystal ball and fantastic programming chops, bugs still happen. But fixing them doesn't have to be a hit-or-miss affair. Read on to see how to supercharge your debugging skills.
iPhone SDK Development, now for 3.0
One of the great advantages of our beta program is that we're able to ship new versions of our books-in-progress as the software they cover evolves. Apple released iPhone 3.0 today and our latest beta of iPhone SDK Development is now available. This latest version of our book is filled with brand-new material on the iPhone 3.0 APIs.
You'll find new chapters on the Game Kit and Map Kit frameworks. Game Kit allows you to write applications that work with other nearby iPhones. Map Kit builds on the location APIs to allow you to take advantage of Google maps from within your application.
The media chapters have been revised and expanded to take advantage of the new APIs. There is a new chapter that shows you how to work with your user's iPod library from within your application. You also can take advantage of new easier AVRecorder and AVAudioSession APIs for working with audio.
You can still use the SQLite database but we think you'll prefer to use Core Data now that it is available on the iPhone. We've added a new chapter that shows you how Core Data can be used in any application that needs to save data to the phone.
You'll also find revisions throughout the book to use the latest templates and APIs. We have completely rewritten the Table View chapter. You'll notice changes in the chapters on View Controllers, the Accelerometer, Fundamentals and Preferences.
This is the first book available that shows you how to use many of the new APIs and frameworks that you'll find in the latest version of the iPhone SDK.
Remember this is a free update if you're already in our beta program, otherwise you can start now by purchasing at pragprog.com/titles/amiphd. Back in March we stopped the presses so we could include this new material for iPhone 3.0 and get you the very latest, most up-to-date material. We'll be sending the book out for one final round of tech review and then it's off to be printed.
Debug It! in Beta
If you develop software, sooner or later you're going to discover that it doesn't always behave as you intended. Working out why it's misbehaving can be hard. Sometimes very hard. Debug It! is here to help!
All bugs are different: there is no silver bullet. You've got to rely upon your intellect, intuition, detective skills and yes, even a little luck. But that doesn't mean that you're completely on your own—there is much you can learn from those who have gone before. This book distills decades of hard-won experience gained in the trenches of professional software development, giving you a head-start and arming you with the tools you need to get to the bottom of the problem, whatever you're faced with.
Whether you're writing Java or assembly language, targeting servers or embedded micro-controllers, using agile or traditional approaches, the same basic bug-fixing principles apply. From constructing software that is easy to debug (and incidentally less likely to contain bugs in the first place), through handling bug reports to rolling out your ultimate fix, we'll cover the entire life-cycle of a bug.
You'll learn about the empirical approach, which leverages your software's unique ability to show you what's really happening, the importance of finding a reliable and convenient means of reproducing a bug, and common pitfalls so you can avoid them. You'll see how to use commonly available tools to automatically detect problems before they're reported by customers and how to construct "transparent software" that provides access to critical information and internal state.
Available now in beta from pragprog.com/titles/pbdp
Coming Soon:
- The RSpec Book in print
- Manage Your Project Portfolio in print
- Core Data in print
- …and more titles to keep you at the top of your game
Recently Released:
Thanks for your continued support,

The family and friends of a body-boarder killed in a shark attack at Ballina on the state's north coast earlier this week have requested that media organisations respect their privacy.
Wollongbar teenager, Peter Edmonds, was body-boarding at Lighthouse Beach about 8.15am on Tuesday (8 April 2008), when he was attacked by a shark.
The 16-year-old was pulled from the surf suffering heavy blood loss from severe lacerations to his upper and lower leg.
Attempts to revive him proved unsuccessful.
Since Peter's tragic death, his family and friends have been inundated with requests from media organisations for interviews and other information about the teenager.
The Edmonds family and Peter's friends initially made themselves available for media interviews and inquiries, however, they are now requesting that their privacy be respected as they grieve the loss of their loved family member and friend.
Peter's funeral will be held at Alstonville next week. The Edmonds family has requested that no media, including pool cameras, be allowed into the service to ensure the solemnity of the funeral is maintained.
Family and friends hope that media organisations will comply with their privacy request, and allow them to prepare for the funeral without any further interruptions.
UPDATED: 10th April
Police will prepare a report for the information of the New South Wales Coroner following a fatal shark attack at Ballina, on the state's North Coast, this morning. A 16-year-old Wollongbar boy was bodyboarding at Lighthouse Beach about 8.15am today, when he was attacked by the shark.
His mate raised the alarm after finding him floating unconscious in the water. The teenager was pulled from the surf suffering heavy blood loss from severe lacerations to his upper and lower leg.
Police from Richmond Local Area Command and NSW Ambulance personnel attended the scene a short time later; however, attempts to revive the teenager were unsuccessful. The boy's body was conveyed by ambulance to Ballina Hospital.
Lifeguards in the Ballina Shire Council area have closed local beaches as a precaution. Police will prepare a brief about the incident for the information of the state coroner.

Airplanes. State aid: EC opens investigation into loan to Alitalia
And if it complies with EU rules
The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to assess whether Italy's bridge loan to Alitalia totalling €900 million constitutes State aid and whether it complies with EU rules for aid to companies in difficulty.
Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: "The Commission has a duty to make sure that loans given to companies by Member States are in line with the EU rules on State aid. We will investigate whether this is the case for Alitalia".
Alitalia is an Italian airline owned by the consortium Compagnia Aerea Italiana-CAI (51% shares) and Etihad Airways (49%). Alitalia has been in financial difficulty for a number of years. On 24 April 2017 Alitalia's staff rejected a cost-cutting plan, which meant that the shareholders decided not to provide additional financing to Alitalia. As a result, Alitalia was placed under extraordinary administration under Italian bankruptcy law on 2 May 2017.
In order to ensure financing of Alitalia during the period of extraordinary administration, the Italian State granted a €600 million bridge loan to Alitalia in May 2017. In October 2017, this loan was increased by an additional €300 million. The extraordinary administrators also started a tender procedure aimed at finding a buyer for Alitalia's assets.
In January 2018, Italy notified the total €900 million State loan granted to Alitalia as rescue aid within the meaning of EU State aid rules, namely the Commission's Rescue and Restructuring Aid Guidelines. This followed a number of complaints received by the Commission in 2017, alleging that the loan constitutes State aid that it is not compatible with the applicable EU rules.
The Commission's current view is that the State loan may constitute State aid. It will now investigate further whether the loan satisfies the conditions under the Guidelines. The Commission has concerns that the duration of the loan, extending from May 2017 until at least December 2018, exceeds the maximum duration of 6 months allowed for a rescue loan under the Guidelines. Furthermore, the Commission has doubts as to whether the aid is limited to the minimum necessary.
The Commission will now investigate further to determine whether or not these initial concerns are confirmed. The opening of an in-depth investigation provides all interested parties with an opportunity to comment on the measure. It does not prejudge in any way the outcome of the investigation.
Under EU State aid rules, public interventions in favour of companies can be considered free of State aid when they are made on terms that a private operator would have accepted under market conditions (the market economy operator principle - MEOP). If this principle is not respected, the public interventions involve State aid within the meaning of Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, because they confer an economic advantage on the beneficiary that its competitors do not have. The assessment criteria for public interventions in companies in difficulty are set out in the Rescue and Restructuring Aid Guidelines.
The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.48171 in the State aid register on the Commission's competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved. New publications of State aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the State Aid Weekly e-News.

Hi everyone, I am Jan and 70yrs.old, Yeah! I am an insecure doing my painting and drawing? I love art and have since I was able to pick up a crayon and make marks on a piece of paper. My Mother inspired me just by being my encouraging on the sidelines.
Please feel free to comment on my work. I give so much away and now I am down to only a few pieces. I have been a caretaker for the passed 6 years and there was no time to be creative and when I did have time I was exhausted.
I am ready to get back in the "Paint Tubes"
Views: 1104
Awesome Jan! And here I am worried about not reaching goals at certain points in my life, I should shut my trap! haha! Encouraging to know that you're still outliving the passion. Really looking forward to seeing your artwork. All the best with it!
Thank you Carmelita (such a wonderful name) I wish I would call it worry but it is just my low self-confidence in my work.
My children and husband are my biggest fans and they are the ones that call me an Artist and I always add Child Artist.
lol! What do you do with art? I would like to see what you do and in what medium.
You're so kind Jan. Thank you! :) The more you work at it the better you get. I would like to see more of what you do. The artworks you have on here are good. Though I always think It's not a bad thing to be critical of one's own work. I am often cricital of my own. Can never be satisfied lol. The positive about that is, we can see where we fall short and then improve upon those areas.
I am currently working in acrylics, not my favourite thing but trying to escape my comfort of pencil and graphite. I cannot live "safe" for the fear of losing control over a medium, so breaking loose. Then, I also enjoy making all sorts of crafts, made jewellery for a while, but that consumed so much time. I studied Fine Arts and photography was one of my majors. Stained Glass was my final major, so have had a taste of various art mediums and I am grateful. Enough about me, when did you start making art? And what mediums do you work with?
The most important thing though is that you're enjoying making art and dont be concerned about sharing it with us! Make lots and share! And enjoy the process!
Hi Jan, Welcome! You do very nice work, be proud! I post my work and I have very low self-confidence, so if I can do it you can too Jan...lol.
Seriously, Jan, don't spend much time worrying about what other people think. As with most art, there will be some who love it, some who hate it, and some who are completely indifferent. I like your Hopi bowl painting especially. There is a market for a piece like that--probably to visitors looking for souvenirs. You just have to find your niche. Why be so hard on yourself? You must be your own choir, my dear.
well if you love making art, just do it! who cares what others think. what i see in your gallery looks pretty darned good to me!
I agree with Carmelita, self criticism is healthy if you are pushing yourself to create a certain type of art, but it is your own path you need to follow. just paint the next painting better than the last in YOUR opinion. that's all that counts.
I am looking forward to seeing the next Jan Heck original! ;o)
Thanks Michael I am not as easily criticized as easily as before six years ago when I was very shy with my art. I am getting ready to prep my canvas and do another still life. I love art and I have been practicing all day getting back in the groove. The Art Colony has given me a lot of get up and get busy attitude. lol
yes, if you're feeling bummed out and frustrated with your art, Art Colony is a good place to turn to. lots of inspiration here! :o)

jan, you may have worries on another site or in some class, but on the art colony, I can't see anyone giving you anything other than positive feedback. 20, 70, 85 yrs. old; it shouldn't matter when you do what you love. just do it and enjoy yourself. my observation is that if folks on the art colony, don't care for your work, you'll never hear from them. on the other hand, the folks who admire what you do will " bouy you up". this is one of the most positive places for those who love art and love doing it whether you or they are formally trained or not. no snobbery or hostile critiques here.
kudos for taking care of your folks in their time of need and welcome back to the world of creativity. i'm just getting back myself, after taking off decades for ed. and to earn a living. I gave myself the right to create again for a birthday and after retirement. the only thing I regret is taking so long to return. and I must say that for the most part, all I've received is encouragement to continue here and outside. do what you love; you deserve to enjoy doing something that indulges you.
you're welcome, jan. , I know you'll enjoy florida. and I can totally relate to being excited about painting and tac. one of most fantastic things to enter my life in years. AND IT'S FREE. I can actually get by w a pencil and paper. toods

Oxygen 16.0 is planned to be released in a couple of months and we already have quite an impressive array of new features which we plan to make available in it.
Here's some of the stuff we are working on right now:
- Editing properties of multiple selected table columns, rows and cells will be a snap using the Table Properties action.You will be able to easily select table cells either by pressing CTRL and clicking them or by selecting cell content which spans multiple cells.
- You will be able to highlight with custom colors and styles elements which have certain profiling attributes with certain values set on them.
- The Oxygen Eclipse Plugin distribution will be updated to have a validation stripe showing all errors found in the visual Author editing mode. The Author visual editing mode will also have a validation status which will show the error closest to the caret position.
- We added API which allows you to programatically import an XML options file in the started application. Used with a plugin deployed as an add-on this API allows you to distribute a fixed set of options as a starting point to all users. Our Plugins SDK will contain such a sample plugin which makes use of the new API to distribute.
So what would be your biggest feature-request wish for the upcoming Oxygen XML Author 16.0?

Have you ever planned an evening at a restaurant with your kids & friends and wonder what the hell you were thinking? We had a gift card for a nice, but supposedly family-friendly restaurant, so we figured we would save some cash & take everyone there, have a good meal together, come back to our house afterwards, get the kids into bed and then throw back a few beers with our friends. Seems like a logical idea, yes?

It's time for another exciting roundup of Game of Thrones-related news to help you trudge through the dog days of the hiatus.
Everyone loves the reliable and strong Hodor, and now the actor who plays him is mixing his professional life with his personal life and bringing some sweet Westerosi jams to lucky Australians with a DJ tour through the country.
If that makes absolutely no sense, you should know that Northern Irish actor Kristian Nairn, who has been hauling Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) around for four seasons now, is also DJ in real life and spent 11 years at the Belfast club Kremlin. The Guardian notes on Tuesday that starting in late August he will embark on a six-night tour of Australian nightclubs for what's being dubbed "Rave of Thrones."
The Thrones-themed event featuring Nairn and "the deepest house [music] from all seven kingdoms" starts in Sydney on August 28th and wraps up in Adelaide on Sept. 7. Guests are being encouraged to dress in their best GoT finery. Australian artist EGO (that's Lord EGO to you) will also be on hand for a "very special visual GOT themed set."
In case you won't happen to be in Australia during the tour, you can listen to some of Nairn's mixes on Soundcloud.
Meanwhile, production on Game of Thrones season five is set to get underway soon and amid all the news of scouting locations and casting announcements, HBO has also nailed down the directors for each episode. Here's who will be stepping behind the camera, along with a couple of their previous directing credits:
Episodes 5×01 and 5×02: Michael Slovis (Breaking Bad, Law & Order: SVU)
Episodes 5×03 and 5×04: Mark Mylod (Shameless, Entourage)
Episodes 5×05 and 5×06: Jeremy Podeswa (Boardwalk Empire, The Tudors)
Episodes 5×07 and 5×08: Miguel Sapochnik (House, Fringe)
Episodes 5×09 and 5×10: David Nutter (four previous Game of Thrones episodes)
The thing that perhaps jumps out the most is the fact that each director will get two consecutive episodes, rather than the show's previous practice of more or less skipping around. Fans will also notice that a couple of familiar faces aren't on the list, namely Alex Graves, who is said to be taking some time off.
Graves took some heat this past season for that controversial scene between Jaime and Cersei, but he was also behind "The Lion and the Rose" (the Purple Wedding), "The Mountain and the Viper," and the season finale. Neil Marshall, who received an Emmy nomination last week for his great work directing "The Watchers on the Wall," will also be absent from directing duties this time around.
Though several of the newbies have directed for HBO in the past, only season five director with previous Thrones experience is David Nutter and boy, were some of his episodes memorable. Nutter was behind "The Rains of Castamere" (the Red Wedding) and the follow-up episode/season finale "Mhysa," in addition to two season two episodes, and he's been tasked with taking on the last two episodes once again.
Nutter is also known as the "pilot whisperer," as evidenced by his excellent track record of directing pilots that get picked up. Some of those pilots include Smallville, Without a Trace, Supernatural, and most recently The Flash.
