I'm fairly sure most (all) of us feel parent/child incest is wrong, and for fairly obvious reasons.
However, if a brother and sister are very careful about pregnancy prevention or, better, one or both of them is unable to conceive, what would be wrong with it?
BTW, I'm NOT trying to decide whether to do it with my sister (LOL). This is just a question that came to mind while in a discussion with another person.

I've read your posts Unseen, I don't see anything trollish, but...the fact that you continue to eliminate the genetic issue in your conjecture already makes your point invalid; you cannot eliminate the genetic issue when it comes to sex. The only possibility of eliminating a genetic issue is if the siblings were homosexuals; this would be the only sure fire way to eliminate the possibility to producing offspring.
As for your limitation to noncoital sex, I am absolutely certain that if a brother and sister are engaged in any sexual activity, eventually coitus will happen. You cannot just automatically eliminate it for the sake of argument because it's inconvenient for your argument. This only demonstrates that you are seeking an approval of your conjecture and not a critical response, and this is evidenced by those who have responded to your post and your follow up with "but what if" reply.
Hormones inducing the feelings of lust, desire, and any form of sexual passion will eventually lead to coitus. Sexual desire in human beings is an extremely strong emotional and biological urge that is difficult to resist. I don't know a single man who will not have the urge, desire, or intent to bed a woman after he has engaged in a form sexual intimacy - absent of coitus.
So, if a brother and sister choose to engage in sexual intimacy with each other, they have to consider the inherent risk of procreation and the impact that creates on a number of levels - whether they are engaged in intimate, loving relationship, or if it's just "sport fucking."
When I talk about the risk of pregnancy eliminated, it can be totally eliminated in two ways: if one party or both voluntarily have themselves rendered infertile surgically or if one or the other or both are already barren. This totally eliminates the genetic risk.
As long as it's a "what if," I can structure it any way I like, even if you don't like it.
I don't know a single man who will not have the urge, desire, or intent to bed a woman after he has engaged in a form sexual intimacy - absent of coitus.
Yes you do. Take me for example. If I've been satisfied by my partner, orally, manually, or anally, what need have I for coitus? Not only that, like most men, once satisfied one of those "other" ways, I'll have neither the desire not, for a while, much ability to engage in coital sex.
As long as it's a "what if," I can structure it any way I like, even if you don't like it.
True. You can, but then you would need to account for all "what if" situation in you initial argument. At least, that's how I would think you would need to structure your argument, otherwise you would run into some of the problems people are raising on here. I guess what I am saying is that the argument appears too general in this way. It also seems to not account for the fact that we are dealing with human beings, and human behavior is not known being consistently perfect or entirely careful.
Oh, and it's not that I don't like it. I just find the argument a little weak is all. You, however, can (and will - I know) carry on any way you like.
Yes you do. Take me for example. If I've been satisfied by my partner, orally, manually, or anally, what need have I for coitus? Not only that, like most men, once satisfied one of those "other" ways, I'll have neither the desire not, for a while, much ability to engage in coital sex.
True, but only in quite possibly in the first few encounters. When it comes to sex, there always seems to be this idea or need of "raising the bar" so to speak to keep things satisfying - which normally ends with coitus. Have I known men who can be satisfied with noncoital sex? No. My point being that once a man "breaks the seal" in a noncoital sexual encounter with a woman, there is always the desire to take it to the next level of coitus. Add to this the fact that women deal with sex in an entirely different way, physically and emotionally because of their biological and psychological differences, and I think the reality is that coitus will eventually happen - especially if the intimacy level is high.
Are we to forbid all behavior that becomes risky if people sometimes don't obey the rules? I don't think so, or we wouldn't be able to do much of anything.
Going from anal sex to coitus is, most men would argue, lowering the bar, not raising it. Going on to anal sex is usually once vaginal sex has become "been there, done that."
Since I wouldn't want to risk making a baby, and knowing condoms can fail, I'll just stay away from vaginal sex. I find that an orgasm is an orgasm is an orgasm.
Are we to forbid all behavior that becomes risky if people sometimes don't obey the rules? I don't think so, or we wouldn't be able to do much of anything.
I was going to say something similar in my last post but in a different context (even though I chose to leave it out in the end). I agree that the moment you place limitations on something, those limitations are bound to be broken, and therein lies my point.
If you are speaking in general terms about the general population of brothers and sisters getting busy, you cannot place a specific limitation regarding one of the dangers of their behavior. Certainly, if you are speaking about a specific couple with the specific biological trait of infertility, then yes, we are go for launch in the argument. But the general population is not infertile, and so I don't see how that specific limitation can fit into a general argument considering all the variables of risk involved. I can certainly stretch my mind to get there, but I am trying to think realistically of the complicated situation you propose in your argument.
Everything has a risk involved, and the level of risk depends on the level of behavior which can yield unfavorable results. It does not matter how careful one is or two people are regarding his or her behavior, there is always a level of risk involved. Taking that risk depends on a person's willingness to deal with the consequences of such behavior, especially if the negative consequences out weigh the positive.
The "if it feels good, do it" mentality does not always yield favorable results. In fact, in the long term, it - in my opinion - produces the opposite effect.
This all said, this is a good conversation. I find no need to dismiss it. You should raise your argument to a fundamentalist Christian just for shits and giggles, and see what they say. If they argue against such a practice, point out to them that Abraham was getting busy with his sister, Sarah, (even though it was his half-sister) and God didn't seem to mind.
But it's like anything else. We can't forbid people from operating heavy machinery under the influence of Benedryl; all we can do is remind them of the risks. They are free individuals and managing the risks is up to them.
Clearly, you are searching for a reason to discourage brother/sister incest with a vigor you probably wouldn't apply to operating heavy machinery while taking Benedryl. Both involve risks not only to themselves but potentially to others.
At the same time, can you say that if the topic was "Operating heavy machinery under the influence of Benedryl, what's wrong with it" you'd be writing such lengthy justifications of your position?
"Let me ask you this Unseen, would we thrive as a species if we all slept with our siblings? If the answer is no then that's all the explanation you really need."
Couldn't you use this argument to say homosexuality is wrong?
Genetic problems. Thy don't arise with greater frequency from any of your stated couplings except close relatives.
These are the things that need to be explored. Given an incestuous relationship's potential for questionable origins, it warrants some scrutiny.
It's easy to understand why parent/child incest is wrong, given the imbalance of power and the genetic problems of inbreeding. Those problems are just about inherent in p/c incest but not in b/s, and especially not in s/s or b/b incest.
Yet, rivalry can exist in normal relations as well, most of them having a dominant member in the relationship. I remember a female sociologist friend telling me that a marriage really can't be a 50/50 thing. Someone needs to break ties.
I'm not buying that sibling rivalry is always or even mostly as bloodthirsty as you seem to assume. To be sure, in my own case, there was and still is sibling rivalry between me and my brother, but my sister and I aren't rivals in any sense of the word and are quite close (no, not in a sexual way).

Journalist Lee Abramovich of Channel 2 News will receive the 2012 B'nai B'rith World Center Award for Journalism Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportaģe in Memory of Wolf and Hilda Matsdorf on June 24 in Jerusalem. Ambassador Stuart E. Eizenstat, former U.S. under secretary of state and deputy secretary of the Treasury will deliver the keynote address entitled "The Future of the Jews: How Global Forces are Impacting the Jewish People, Israel, and its Relationship with the United States."
B'nai B'rith International President Allan J. Jacobs and Executive Vice President Daniel S.

Since its establishment in 1992, the B'nai B'rith World Center Award for Journalism has recognized excellence in reportaģe on contemporary Diaspora Jewish communities and on the state of Israel-Diaspora relations today in the Israeli print, electronic and online media. It is widely acknowledged by the media industry as the most prestigious prize of its kind in Israel.
Members of the distinguished award jury are: Prof. Yehudith Auerbach, head of the Communication and Journalism Studies Division, Bar Ilan University; David Horovitz, founding editor, The Times of Israel; Sara Frenkel, diaspora reporter, Broadcast Authority and Lifetime Achievement Award winner for 2002; Shalom Kital, former general director, News Company, Channel 2; Bambi Sheleg, founder and editor-in-chief, "Eretz Acheret" and award winner for 2011 and Asher Weill, publisher and editor of "Ariel" The Israel Review of Arts and Letters (1981-2003).

Happy Friday! It's a BIG day here at Stamp a Sweet Impression! Taylor is presenting her 100th Sketch for you to play along with over on her blog (head over there for all the info including PRIZES!) and Our Friday Friend is helping us celebrate with a sample for the TESC100 sketch. This week Our Friday Friend probably needs no introduction - certainly not to those of you who participate at Splitcoaststampers - Beate Johns is the Creative Director at SCS and brings us incredible tutorials week after week! In fact when we saw this amazing card created for this week's SCS tutorial we rushed to ask her to join us here at SASI today.
We asked Beate a few questions so you can get to know her better.
--What city/state so you live in?
I currently live on Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio.
--How did you get addicted to papercrafts? How long have you been stamping?
After moving from a Nato bade in Germany to Scott AFB, Illinois, I couldn't find a quilting group on base. Everyone seemed to be talking about stamping. So I went to a Stampin' Up! workshop. I was hooked immediately. It was in January and I got FREE stamps for ordering. How cool is that? I have been stamping ever since.
--How would you describe your style? What are your favorite projects to create?
I love to sponge, distress, and sew and on my cards. It seems I can't create a card without several layers and lately, without using Nestabilities. My favorite projects are still cards. Coming from quilting, I love how fast a card somes together.
--Do you have a favorite TE image?
I can't narrow it down to one image. My favorite three sets are the new Animal Love Sentiments (with all those cute matching animal images), Discover Your Wings (featured here) and Christmas Blessings.
--What is your favorite sweet treat?
My favorite candy bar is Milky Way. My favorite cake is Donauwelle and my favorite cookie is Spritzgebaeck.
Beate's beautfiul card features Discover Your Wings. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this set through the end of February are donated to the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation.
See more of Beate's work at her blog Fresh and Fun.
Thank you Beate for being Our Friday Friend!!!
We hope all of our readers will make some time to stamp this weekend and play in Taylor's 100th Sketch Challenge!

Marcel Siem shot a four under par round of 68 on Moving Day at the BMW International Open and despite a disappointing finish the German is still in contention to claim his second European Tour title on home soil with tomorrow's final round to play.
Siem got his third round off to the perfect start, holing a lob wedge from 82 yards for eagle on the par four first at Gut Lärchenhof, before carding further birdies at the fourth, sixth and ninth holes to reach the turn in 31 blows.
The back nine, however, was a mixed bag for the 31 year old as additional birdies at the tenth, 12th and 13th holes were negated by four dropped shots, despite avoiding a ruling after his putter touched the ball on the 17th green, with Chief Referee John Paramor determining that the contact had no shifted the ball from its original location.
The Mettmann born man was trailed throughout the day by sizeable galleries all eager to urge Siem on as their main home hope after former World Number One Martin Kaymer missed the cut on Friday.
And despite dropping three shots in the last five holes Siem, currently 21st in the 2011 Race to Dubai, was philosophical in his assessment of the day.
"I had a great start and really enjoyed myself out there with the big crowd behind me," said Siem, who has been in impressive form this season with five top 12 finishes already this season. "It was really cool [to hole out for eagle at the first]. I had 75 metres to the flag, downwind, scruffy lie to be honest and I thought, it's going to be tough to get the ball stopping on the hole, and just nipped it nicely in the semi rough and it went in. That was great, the crowd was right there. It was awesome."
Siem blamed a sometimes-cool putter for the majority of his bogeys on Saturday, but believes he is still in with a good chance of ending his eight year title drought, a stretch that goes back to his triumph at the 2004 Alfred Dunhill Championship.
He said: "I mean, I think I had four bad shots today, and every time I hit a bad shot, I got a bogey. And my putter was not really on. I had a chance on the front nine already for birdie which I didn't make but that was a great round of golf. I'm in there, and I'm in contention for tomorrow. I played really good so I should get a smile on my face in the next five minutes.
"It would be a dream for me to win a tournament again, first of all, and then in Cologne, at the BMW would be great. But there are still five hours to go tomorrow and who knows what the guys are doing out there now.
"I'll try to play the same golf I did today, stay patient, not thinking about winning actually, just do what I can and hopefully the putter is going a little bit better than today, then who knows."

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction. It comes on quickly and can be fatal. This type of reaction is a medical emergency and immediate medical attention is important. For anyone experiencing anaphylaxis, epinephrine should be given right away followed by a call to 911 for further treatment and transfer to a hospital.
The main medicine to treat anaphylaxis is epinephrine. This is a medicine given by an injection. The best place to inject it is in the muscles of the outer part of the thigh. If the symptoms do not improve very quickly, the injection should be given again in 5 to 30 minutes.
Children who are old enough can be taught how to give themselves epinephrine if needed. The medicine comes in auto-injector syringes to make this easier. Epinephrine should be prescribed for anyone who has ever had an anaphylactic attack and for children at high risk for anaphylaxis. They are available in 2 different doses based on the weight of the child. You should always have at least 2 doses with you at all times. School-aged children also need one at school with instructions from their doctor about how and when to use it.
Anaphylaxis includes a wide range of symptoms that often happen quickly. The most severe symptoms restrict breathing and blood circulation. Combinations of symptoms may occur.
Anaphylaxis occurs when the immune system overreacts to normally harmless substances called allergens.

i like his shorts
I love him with the shorts and the Lacoste shirt and his beard!!!!!!!!! I wish for summer now!
Very summery (if that's an expresion???) Nice shorts…
i totally agree.
in a way i'm glad menswear doesn't suffer from the 'must have – overtly popular – single accessory' syndrome we often see in women's wear.
good on ya guys.
Having the physique of an 18-year-old gymnast doesn;t hurt the look, either.
i love that cuff… any ideas where i can get one similar? :P
in regards to the men and accessories, i agree with stacy to a degree, but also think that because its rarer to see a guy with considered accessories, its much simpler to make an impact.
i like this guys' casual, masculine, accessorised look.
absolutely love the Lacoste tee. my favorite brand of all time. i think he'll be even betta looking if he's clean shaven, but who am i to judge him? it's his own style. Lacoste rocks!
i would actually wear those shorts, their adorable. http://www.thedailyalygator.blogspot.com
I just love the rolled searsucker shorts. Indeed it's a great twist on a classic.
In spite of the largely feminine perception of accessories like cuffs and these shoes, I think the whole look is shoehow masculine. I love it.
Looks like he has just been teleported from Miami
miami circa spartacus, maybe. he looks like a crazy gladiator-cum-hobo… in expensive (women's) accessories.
then again I think sandals are satanic.
I just adore him. Great sense of style and a great body. Seersucker shorts. Wow! And the belt isn't distracitng either. The cuff is the perfect touch.
Usually I do not like men's bracelets too much… but this one is great: simple, elegant but somehow "manly"! (as opposed to "girly")
It has opened up a completely new perspective! (and a completely new goldmine for boyfriend's presents)
This is "fun with fashion". I love the cuff. It's important to the look, too, that this Lacoste is about two sizes smaller than the average Lacoste wearer would wear it, and yes as someone said above the body in it is important to the look, as well.
I haven't been a fan of the popular nautical belt with most looks- I think it's fine here-everything works here.
The most important thing is that he's taken a set of basic items usually perceived in one way and turned them around to make them "edgy", in much the way the young man in Florence a few weeks back did with a (usually preppy) khaki suit. Fun to see.
i could not agree more and i love the look. preppy/classic gone "bad". i LOVE it. may be my favorite look b/c it allows people to be stylish and not "in style". thank you for him.
This is my favorite look in a while on here. But I think we all have to be honest and admit , like others have said, that a huge credit has to go to this guy's physique.
But yeah, like our sartorialist said, the hair, cuff, and sandals are all cool in their own right.
Seems like we're all in agreement (at least so far) on this one. He looks amazing: casual, summery, stylized without trying too hard. The incredible physique and nice tan don't hurt either! I want to be friends with him, he looks like he would be really interesting to talk so.
dear dude: i love you.
he looks amazing.
and i totally agree with how the accessories have turned this otherwise preppy look into something much more interesting.
(and kinda sexy!)
He looks delicious!! Love the hair, love the sandals, love the shorts and love the pecs!!
Agreed. Having a fantastic body doesn't hurt, either! I doubt the look would be as effective otherwise. *fans self*
even hanging the shades on his shirt gives him the utmost style.
grrr..i love the rolled-up shorts!
Lovely arm adorned by that cuff!
I guess the only thing that would make the look even better would be if the shorts were plain front, but it is a great outfit! I guess they key for men's accessories is that the not look costume-y. Some bracelet you pick up at a street stand, or something like that. I think in his case it works because all of his accessories follow very simple lines. I hang my shades like that for need rather than style(the dont fit on my head!!!) and so I feel reassured that someone as stylish as this gent does it too. Jorge from W Palm Beach
How comes the crocodile is blue? Here in Europe it has to be green (to be original) And very lately it could be silver. But blue??
having an amazing body so that the clothes drape just so doesn't hurt at all either.
very nice. he carries himself well.
He is fantastic. What I love is the mix. If you look at the clothing on it on, it is very preppy. But add the cuff, the sandals, even the hair, and you have this amazing urbane melange, I love it.
wow. he is so attractive. he looks effortless when the look is actually very intricate.
great look, but then I've got seeksucker shorts and a white polo on myself today…
I found those sandals in Greece 20 years ago, but now for the life of me- even online- I can't find them for anything- If anyone sees this and knows a source- please let me know… Canfora in Capri makes a style I like, and have been buying the last couple of years- but they are like 150 Euro, and those were closer to 10 Euro- I'd pay the 150 for the originals…
I love his shoes – perfect sandals. I'm a girl but I want some like that!
In the summer I love starting with a preppy look (simple, originals) and adding an interesting piece of jewelry (chunky, silver looks good on tanned arms) or an ethnic shoe (I'm working the 1960′s made-in-mexico sandals right now). Usually both.
I'm a gal and it is my go-to summer thing.
This guy is taking the same approach but also working the proportions which makes him own the look.
Great example Sart.
Fresh, laid-back chic. I heart him and his style!
Wow he rocks… good style and good body I agree.
Very good body… nice shorts;)
indeed great accessorizing! but whoooooohaa – does the beard just make him way older than he actually is or is he in just incredibly great shape for his age?
either way: meeeega hot bod. his arms make me drool. pretty.
not masculine…
there are better ways for a man to 'accesorize' without wearing jewlery (besides a watch/wedding band)
I like the accessories and the hair style is, well,… it's out there. It's pretty sweet, though.
As far as the outfit goes, though, the considerably mismatched proportions to the shirt and pants make him look relatively silly. The shirt is just way too tight, and that being said, it makes the normal fitting shorts looks huge and baggy and more like a stretched pair of boxers as opposed to an actual, real pair of shorts. If he paired it with some looser, better fitting, then the outfit would've been nearly flawless.
And that's it for my rantings today.
I think he looks a bit feminized, but it works ok for him because he's masculine looking with the beard.
But would this look really work if he weren't so attractive? Is fashion only for those with perfect physiques?
Man looks hot. But I must say, not a fan of the beard and grunge hobo thing going on on his head. But I love those shorts, wanted to get a pair this past weekend but no size. Lacoste t done right, I like.
on of men greatest accessories is his physique…
love those sandals.
Yes I agree he looks good although the top is too tight….XX
Well… it's a look. Despite the amazing body, this guy looks like a tool. Too-small shirt, baggy boxer-like shorts, awful belt, man-jewelry, cave-man hair and girly sandals. No. Just No.
any idea where to get those sandals?
Agree – the accessories make this a very sharp ensemble. They're minimal too, I like that a subtle tweak can have such a big impact.
I have everything this man has in my closet, every bit of it. But, somehow, I don't wear it a fraction as well as he does! Aargh!
Coool beard dude.
This look hits the perfect combination of rebellious and diplomatic that defines individualistic fashion. He's managing to defy TWO contrasting, cliched, dull looks–the prep and the hippie–by combining very well-developed elements of both of them. I love it. What a rebel.
Also, all men should wear seersucker, it really does it for me.
Call me crazy but I find this guy to be amazingly attractive and I'm usually not a fan of full-on beards. A short one, sure, or just some scruff but he looks amazing. And his bod is rockin'…the Lacoste shirt fits him perfectly. He is awesome. Love it!
Scott, you always hit the mark, never miss it. m/
Hercules goes to Florida. This is really great.
Awesome photo, Sart. You really have a sharp eye. This gent's outfit is pretty much my daily uniform (that it when I don't have a client meeting or something) here in Southern California. I can identify with the seersucker shorts, sunglasses, ribbon belt, Lacoste shirt, and flip-flops. I love Lacoste shirts, in particular, because they highlight my large biceps. I don't wear a silver cuff, like this chap, but I am known to wear a colourful ethnic woven bracelet that I recently picked up in Cuzco, Peru. Very well done.
Marry me.
Gorgeous pose
Yogi meets preppy meets Mykonos. The tight lacoste with hemmed (not banded) sleeves was an 80s staple and it's great to see it again. In fact, this bohemian prepster look was very popular when I was an undergrad at Duke 25 years ago. This guy does it with elan.
I like the outfit. The shirt is bordering on being a little too tight. I like my tops snug as well, but with the obvious shape this gentleman is in the shirt cries out "vanity".
Actually, that is not always bad. Let's put it this way – he could get away with it once in a while, but if I saw this guy constantly wearing polos that tight my opinion would change, from fashionable to knucklehead.
"not masculine…"
i wish he would lose the beard. it doesn't add anything.
maybe we need to expand our minds as to what is masculine, feminine or just purely gender neutral. from where i'm seated, he looks beautiful. BEAUTIFUL!
yes, without that amazing physique, he wouldn't look so nice, but then, thank goodness he's choosing to share that beautiful body with a more close fitting shirt. i love the cuffs, the sandals and wild hair.
Everything (except for the beard, hair, and face) are a tad too feminine for me. From his shaven arms, the stance, tightness of the shirt, and those shoes! Sorry but those shoes should only be worn by women. I agree that men should accessorize too, but is should be done in the right way. This picture does not exemplify how it should be done.
oh wow, i LOVE it!
I think what gets categorized as 'fashion' and 'style' really depends on the locus and culture.
Sart, you call the sandals extremely stylish and from what I can make out from the above comments, those must be some expensive shoes. But here in India, you get the same sandals for a dollar a pair in the local flea markets. (They make them for both men and women.) Its one of the staple 'chappal' designs in this hot country. Nobody would give you a second look if you wore them around here and yet these are deemed fashion-forward in the US(?). This is not to disparage the gentleman's style and Sart's putting it up here; just an observation.
the hair is amazing, facial and head. I also love that he is mid-prose.
While I consider myself to be very detail oriented, I most certainly noticed how uncomfortably tight-fitting his shirt looks before how wonderfully chosen his accessories are. Wearing fitted clothing is fine, and certainly a welcome sight for people who have clearly spent some time in the gym, but this example encroaches on the extreme territory. It ends up looking like he is trying to look bigger than he is by compensating with a extremely small sized shirt. Nevertheless, the man is clearly comfortable with the way he looks (so who am I to criticise him), and I have to agree – his accessories are FINE!
aww, i like this shot of the bearded pepaw. from afar, those shorts resemble boxers. *teehee*
would like to know where he bought those sandals.
i love the lil peek of belt that's coming from the seersucker shorts – it's an all around good look for this fellow…it speaks of an individual.
Nice polo. I really don't understand the rolled-up shorts trend. Very homeless-looking.
I think that the photo of him is beautiful, but to me he looks feminized, disheveled and interesting but not in a good way.
I do like the cuff though.
He's like a vacationing god…so well proportioned, so excellently accessorized.
There is definitely a gap in the men's accessory market.
I couldn't agree about the accessories more. As a former sufferer of the "plain jane preppy" look, I'm definitely taking a page from this book.
Very interesting. I like the cuff, I like the sandals – I think the light colors of these look great with his tan. But… the restrictively tight shirt with the poofy shorts feels amusingly Elizabethan. I'd like it better if the shirt was just a little bigger.
I love the wristwear and how the belt peeks out from underneath the shirt. A very eccentric outfit indeed.
I admire the way he turned a classic preppy look into something totally individualistic. I wouldn't pick shorts that fit that way (they look like bloomers!) or a shirt that fit that way (so abercrombie model, especially on his physique), but that doesn't make the look any less inspiring.
i've never seen anyone like this in my life. how wonderful.
I love everything but the excessively-tight Lacoste polo.
And what a body…
Does anyone else think that his belt is too big? I wouldn`t want the end of it flapping about like that. Nevertheless, very well put together.
he looks like a greek god who stumbled onto the streets of modern time
I love how he can pull off that look with such a great body with that beard!
hmm… yeah i think his body made extra impact on his look.
i love the works! simple yet able to catch attention. gr8 bod, gr8 tan, too.
I'm totally confused – i mean what is he trying to say? We all speak through our clothes whether consciously or unconsciously but this look leaves me baffled. i'm not even sure if i like the diverse mix.The shorts look like boxers or even a dhoti. Is he a lawyer who's just spent 6 months in India to chill out or has he come back after years on the hippy trail and is looking for a job? I definitely admire the look because it's so unconventional. How long did he spend thinking about what to wear? women can ages and can also take their accessories straight from the pages of a magazine but if a man did that he would be considered a sheep , he needs to be much more individual to maintain his masculine credibility. It's a really interesting subject, sorry this comment is so long!
This guy is really a spectacular sight
Accessories for men have been heavily pushed by marketing in the last few years. Fortunately, most men stay wise and do not overdo it.
I cannot help thinking that heavy accessorising (call it necklace, cuff, bag, ring, glasses, watches or all together at the same time) usually becomes tacky. I live in Paris and men are reducing accesories as they are being identified with the so called (and very much avoided) 'bling bling' culture.
NOW I know what to do with my shorts. Something has been off about them and now I know what it is.
Gonna go out on a limb here – the silver cuff would work better if he wasn't wearing the other bracelet.
Other than that, love it all, especially the sandals.
For Suzanne nelson
why does he even need "masculine credibility" and why does he have to be clear in what his look is saying?
maybe he is just dressing to make himself happy and that is cool
It's a good look on a very attractive man.
For the Sartorialist from Suzanne Nelson: I completely agree with your comment 'maybe he dressing to make himself happy and that is cool'; in fact as a woman i couldn't agree more , i decided ages ago after working in Paris couture from then on i would only dress to make myself happy, not to impress my boss or peers. The rest of my last comment was very much from a personal perspective – i'm english and oh how we love to classify and decode people and pigeon hole them. A deplorable trait, but i like trying to 'read' people through their clothes or style. That's one of the reason's i slavishly follow your blog: endless fascination. Regarding 'masculine credibility'this man does assert his masculinity (strength, power, independence etc) very much so, he's highly individual, (and i'm not even talking about his very masculine muscular build)but you are right, no-one needs to convey various degrees of masculinity or femininity through how they dress. I was trying in a succinct way to explain why female accessories are such a major fashion story/industry when male accessories aren't. And I failed but i'm re-thinking it…
What on earth is "masculine credibility?" That attitude is why most guys run around looking like unkempt slobs w/ clothing 40 sizes too large.
I think the proportions of this outfit are beautiful, he has a certain rugged beauty that will certainly turn heads, even if it won't win admiration. I think the silver bracelet is perfect…it draws attention to his amazing arms. As for the shorts, I think these are the perfect length for him. Any longer and they would have been wearing him, and any shorter it would have been gross. He obviously has confidence, but who wouldn't with such a great body? If you spend a lot of your time and effort making your body so good why not enjoy it and show it off?
He's a total fox. I love the play on proportions with the tight shirt and voluminous seersucker on bottom. His belt is a nice burst of color, too.
where r the sandals from?
Me too, I really like his roomy shorts and the fact that he cuffed them.
I like to see mature, uber masculine looking man having fun with fashion & still look at ease.
I don't like men's jewelry & footwear that is so conspicuous, but the silver cuff and the sandals are very ethnic inspired & look great on this particular gentleman!
As a 22 year old woman, let me say that this is a damned sexy look for a gent. Love the contrast of the fat horizontal stripes in the orange belt against the vertical skinny stripe in the cuffed shorts. Accessories are ballsy; takes a real man, as they say. Some one get me fan, I'm burning up!
That's a really odd mix, the beard, the shirt, the shorts, the sandals, the tan, the accessories… it's like a touch from all the different american subcultures. It looks real cool though.
actually the preppy look has turned him on his head :)
its romantic, imagine the fabulous day he's abut to have!
i love dressing that imbues a lifestyle and the dreams of potential adventures
He could wear a plastic bag and look good! That body!
Yeah, the head totally doesn't match the body…
Love the clean, breezy yet chic ensemble, though.
amazing body, very stylish, but he looks like a gorgeous man who, while on a pilgrimage to Mecca, got abducted into the nearest Barney's and SUPER STYLED. with the drama of the hair and beard, he could have lost an accessory or two.
love this. shorts: balooning a bit with rollups and in perfect proportion to the shirt and then overall length of the man.I think the accesories might slow the look down a bit. the bracelet adds a bit of classy subversive irony i think, he looks great.
I may be wrong but I think he has had the shirt for a while, you hardly see the blue Lacoste logos anymore…
I see and agree with the SAR, but the object here is to BEEEE….just dare to be your self ..who knows you may even invent a look all by self….those are the BEST anywayssssssssssss
This guy is very sexy. I can look at the individual elements, but the sum of the parts = someone I'll look at again, and again, and again. And learn!
One of my favorites so far.
I think I'm in love.
As a woman I need to rethink how I wear my Izod shirts. Maybe I could make my outfit a little funkier and not so preppy.
The beard is way too much! I think it is far too distracting from his overall look. The beard in the next post works but this one's too chaotic!
I love what he has on…it seems natural and very cool on what I presume was a hot day when this picture was taken. I have been at the gym for 5 months and still can't look like he does. Kudos to him
this is something what my father would wear.
Excellent photo quality, as usual.
Maybe I'm very conservative, but I'm not at all enamored with this look. The man has a great body and I like the sandals, but that's about it. The hair and the beard look messy and not attractive. The shorts suggest underwear, the polo shirt is ridiculously tight and the cuff… it looks totally unnecessary and out of place.
What I value in fashion, for both men and women, is looking effortlessly chic. To me, this look is screaming "I'm trying too hard". His feet are the only part that gives the impression of understated comfort.
Mediterranean Karl Marx
The Jeb Stuart look.
I know I'm supposed to be looking at the cuff, the sandal, etc., but my favorite accessory of his are those GUNS!
He's just beautiful.
The beard is the most essential accessory here. Without it, the look would be just be pumped-up preppy
this is my favorite picture of the summer. great photo. great guy. great style.
The hairstyle and bracelet look like he may be Sikh. Sikh the new chic ~ I rather like that.
Wow. Fit body, fabulous outfit…just…wow.
i've seen this guy on the subway and couldn't tear my eyes off him. if those sunglasses are gold-rimmed, it's for sure the same guy. he's so beautiful and his skin is like, totally smooth.
Oh man…this guy's just cool…could stand there naked and still be dressed right!
I love this. Instead of hemming my shorts I started rolling them …because of this shot! It's like you are performing a public service Sart.
Really stylish! Perfect photo as well /Mikael
I would feel compelled to follow him around the city and ask him who he is and where he is from…
whoa! can i get some tickets to the gun show?
i hate his hair. too messy, i guess. but i like the way he mixed and matched the outfit :)
I first saw this image in the Sartorialist book…I was immediately struck by the uniqueness of the shot. There was something about the juxtaposition of a large beard and wild hair with the preppy-stylish look on a swarthy and handsome subject. A part of me wanted to become this image, wear what he was wearing and so forth..alas..the look has been done why would I imitate it? Rather I found inspiration to rethink my own appearance and what it means to dress oneself as a method of revelation. Using dress to reveal something inner and yet not being attached to the responses of others thus truly setting oneself free to be somewhat of an ethereal image.
Just wanted to say that this one has always been my favourite
I'd never be seen dead in some of this gear. Yet I would love to be able to look like that. Damn good look. My favourite.
The energy in the first photo is contagious!

I like … – - the whole package!
Just perfect !

#rockaintdead. There, I said it, I've been saying it for ages, and now I'm joined in saying it by my very dear friend, Glenn Hughes, as he not only espouses it, but he also proves it every night out on his first ever American tour as a solo artist.
I've never seen Hughes better than on this night at The Ritz in downtown San José, California.
I first laid eyes on Glenn Hughes when he was in Deep Purple, on February 13, 1974 at a big hockey arena in the Midwest of America located at Dayton, Ohio. It's somewhat ironic that they are tearing down my hallowed home of early rock just this week, after an incredible run that began when The Rolling Stones desecrated the site in 1964. As one of the first musicians I saw playing on that stage, Glenn Hughes is still defining not just what rock is, but where it's at. There's nothing retro about what I saw in San Jose, California last night, it was state of the art.
He could have played it safe, and played a set of wall to wall Deep Purple and Black Country Communion, perhaps his most commercially successful products, but no - whether it was when he was deconstructing his reputation with a fall from grace so large he's today able to quip, "I don't remember the eighties," or in choosing a band challenging setlist comprised of selections from every era of his 47 year career, Glenn Hughes has never played it safe. It's go for the throat, or don't go at all.

On drums we have the larger than life Pontus Engborg, and at a towering six foot four the Swedish stickman commands the throne like a king. His exuberance, power, and precision are perfect for the job. Like Anderson, Engborg is as entertaining as he is musical, and he's definitely the man for the job.
We arrived at the gig early enough to catch the band doing their pre-VIP meet and greet soundcheck, and got a preview of what was in store. Hughes was onstage, still critiquing and fine tuning the band a month into the tour, and you can tell that his attention to detail pays off in big dividends, as the band is as powerful as a locomotive, and still sophisticated and precise. We stuck around to witness the meet and greet, and while these are always a point of contention for some purists, it was clear that both the band and the fans were having a great time communing with "The Voice Of Rock," so who's to judge. Check it out when it comes your way, it's more than worth it, and the package the band gives away is most generous.

We didn't get a taste of the new sounds on this evening (one can't let the cat out of the bag on a new project unless one wants it on YouTube months before release), but what we did get was a career retrospective that was mind blowing in it's depth and coherency. It's remarkable that the first song Hughes ever wrote, the Trapeze classic, "Medusa", sits so well with the latest material he's recorded forty years later, but somehow it all works.
Kicking off the show, it's "Way Back To The Bone" from 1972, then it's ten years later with the Hughes/Thrall classic track "Muscle And Blood" from that great one off album from 1982, and Hughes and company are in it to the hilt. In spite of a heart surgery, and double knee replacement since I last was him perform, Glenn Hughes continues to be a force of nature. His vocals grew increasingly powerful as the night progressed, and he stalked the stage with the energy and passion of a man forty years younger.
Then it's into the twenty-first century with "Orion" from 2005's Soul Mover album, and it's to Soren Anderson's great credit that he not only covers the bases of so many great guitarists that came before him in Hughes's various iterations and bands, but he manages to change up everything just enough so that his personality as a player shines through, and this points straight to the fact that this coming up solo album from Hughes will be a treat, as it's the first record with the man for Anderson.

"Medusa" has long been a centerpiece of any Hughes show for years, and tonight was no exception. After Glenn talked the audience through another sermon of peace, love, and happiness, he spoke of a young man in his mother's kitchen writing songs for his first band at the tender age of 17. If you weren't aware of the song's heritage and history, you'd never known it wasn't written last week, and this band manages to make everything sound up to date and born again. The kids have got nothing on this one.
In advance of next years return, Black Country Communion was represented with a raging version of "One Last Soul" from the band's 2010 debut, and it never fails to get the crowd swaying with it's huge groove, and sensual melodies. Then Anderson throws on a flashy white Strat to round out the set with the title track from "Soul Mover."
Before you know it the main set is done, and the band is off the stage. There is never, not for one second any question about encores. Everyone knows they are coming, and everyone plays their part in this vaunted piece of rock ritual. Lighters come out, fists are raised in the air, and the volume of the room goes up accordingly.
Hughes rips into his brand new Yamaha signature bass, and you know you're on your way back to the "Black Country". Again, it's up to Anderson to conjure the sounds and signature riffs of another, and he does Joe Bonamassa proud with a careening solo that raises the whole affair up another notch, and you're left wondering if there is anything this band can't do. They're left with only one place to go, and when Anderson tears off the intro to "Burn", it's all over but the crying. This is one of those shows you just hate to see end, but it's time to go, and the house lights are on.
Since we're now rating gigs in terms of not just performance (this gig report is also running simultaneously at MetalTalk.Net), but also volume and sound, let's take a moment to discuss this. The Ritz in San José is a square box of a room that is long and narrow, and in the hands of a lesser soundman, it could have been tough to contain the sheer horsepower of this power trio, but the stalwart crew was more than up to the task, and it sounded very good. Hughes was raving about the sound of his bass rig in the room at soundcheck, and you could see, feel, and hear it in his performance. He was pumped up by what he heard, and it played straight into his performance, and it's seldom noted, but while the world knows Hughes is as great a singer that has ever walked the planet, he is very underrated as a bassist. All this being said, it was as loud as Gideon's Trumpet, and it rang like a bell. Fantastic stuff, the stuff rock is made of when it's made right.

After a bussy and confusing week i was glad this Amsterdam weekend trip was planned.
I had a quick meeting with Armin Wintasunn we had some coffee at the Spui. I admire the guy as he really creates art on the web. proof
Since i mostly meet new people on the internet and meet them in person later, it's always a funny thing when you sit and wait in a very crowded city waiting not nowing how someone you kinda know good enough looks like. So this meeting started funny when Armin phoned me standing just 1 meter next to me.
After quick decissions made about a project we might do, we seperated paths.
Spend the afternoon in the Vondel Park with my wife and kids. Its a nice place to chill out a bit. An oase of rest in a world city.
Oooh incase you missed it, yesterday the CD version of Sabayon linux got released. Under the codename "Pod" you'll have a nice small and elegant XFCE desktop. check it out

Fāṭimah, also spelled Fatima, also called al-Zahrāʾ (Arabic: "the Radiant One"), (born c. 605, Mecca, Arabia [now in Saudi Arabia]—died 633, Medina), daughter of Muhammad (the founder of Islam) who in later centuries became the object of deep veneration by many Muslims, especially the Shīʿites. Muhammad had other sons and daughters, but they either died young or failed to produce a long line of descendants. Fāṭimah, however, stood at the head of a genealogy that steadily enlarged through the generations.
To the Shīʿites, she is particularly important because she was married to ʿAlī, whom the Shīʿites considered to be the legitimate heir of the authority of the Prophet Muhammad and the first of their imāms. The sons of Fāṭimah and ʿAlī, Ḥasan and Ḥusayn, are thus viewed by the Shīʿites as the rightful inheritors of the tradition of Muhammad, a further ramification of Fāṭimah's significance among Shīʿite believers. Accordingly, many Islamic traditions give a majestic if not miraculous quality to Fāṭimah's life.
Fāṭimah accompanied Muhammad when he emigrated from Mecca to Medina in 622. Soon after her arrival in Medina she married ʿAlī, the Prophet's cousin. Their first years were lived in abject poverty. When in 632 Muhammad was facing his last illness, Fāṭimah was there to nurse him. In general she was devoted to her domestic duties and avoided involvement in political affairs. Yet after Muhammad's death she had a sharp clash with Abū Bakr, who had succeeded Muhammad as leader of the Islamic community, and Fāṭimah supported ʿAlī in his reluctance to submit to Abū Bakr's authority. She came into conflict with the caliph a second time over property that she claimed Muhammad had left her. Abū Bakr refused to sanction her claim, and, according to most accounts, Fāṭimah refused to speak to him until her death from illness six months later.

Woman Sues Google Over Walking Directions That Resulted in Crash
If Google Maps walking directions told you to walk along a major highway, would you comply? If you're Lauren Rosenberg, the answer is yes. Rosenberg is suing Google because it gave her walking directions on a Utah highway, where she subsequently was hit by a car. She also names the driver of the car in her suit.
"Google knew or should have known that Deer Valley Road, a.k.a. State Route 224 is a rural highway exhibiting vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed, and devoid of pedestrian sidewalks, yet defendant Google instructed plaintiff Lauren Rosenberg to use that road for her pedestrian travel," according to court documents.
Rosenberg said the accident caused her severe physical, emotional, and mental injuries and has resulted in medical bills in excess of $100,000. Rosenberg wants Google to pay her lost wages and other damages, as well as attorneys' fees.
Rosenberg used her BlackBerry to get directions from 96 Daly Ave. in Park City, Utah to 1710 Prospector Ave. The walking directions took her up Main Street and onto Deer Valley Road (above), where she was struck by a car owned by Patrick Harwood and driven by Ryan Christenson.
Rosenberg said Google's directions failed to warn her about the possible dangers of walking alongside a highway with no sidewalk, and the company should therefore pay up.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It's a good thing Rosenberg never looked up driving directions from the U.S. to a point across the pond. Back in 2007, Google Maps directions from points in the U.S. to those overseas jokingly included the direction "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean" in order for people to reach their destination. That feature does not appear to still be active.

TORONTO — The Ontario government is warning energy companies it is not ready to allow the controversial practice called fracking to extract natural gas or oil.
Premier Dalton McGuinty says no private companies have approached the province to talk about fracking or hydraulic fracturing, which uses chemically-treated water under extreme pressure in drill holes to fracture shale and release gas or oil.
McGuinty says he's heard concerns the practice can pollute water supplies, and would want to see scientific evidence fracking is safe "before giving it a thumbs up or a thumbs down."
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says she's concerned about negative environmental impacts from fracking, especially on drinking water.
Opponents of fracking, including the Council of Canadians, say companies including Mooncor Oil and Gas and Dundee Energy are buying up land in southern Ontario that could be used for fracking.
Mooncor says only that it has not announced any plans to frack in Ontario.
Quebec has a moratorium on fracking and all oil and gas exploration activities under the Saint Lawrence River, but other provinces, including Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Alberta, allow fracking.
The B.C. Oil and Gas Commission said a spate of small earthquakes in the province's remote northeastern corner were caused by fracking in the Horn River Basin, a gas-rich shale formation that's attracted some of the industry's biggest players

Ancient evidence of violent death? A bronze arrowhead is embedded in this skull dating back 2000 years. It is unknown whether this was caused by accident or warfare, but the Han Dynasty in China, where this fragment originated, was a time of great political unrest. Professional opinion is divided as to whether death was instantaneous. The man may have lived for at least two weeks after the incident because there is evidence of new bone growth. This can only have occurred while he was alive. The green staining around the arrowhead is thought to be evidence of pus from infection. Infection rather than the arrowhead may have been the cause of this person's death.

SX this year was an epic, traffic jammed affair. We stood in lines too long, walked too far, and drank way too much beer. My hair is a tangled beehive of dried out straw and my head is still stuffed full of cotton batting, but I have survived to bring you this year's report. Let's do this. #1. Toro Y Moi is preparing to take over the world. If you don't already have the latest album, go buy it. Now. These kids are a funked up MGMT and they're good. Also, I have no idea what's in his mouth.
#2. Fader sucks balls. I will never stand in a line this long to attend a show where the bar closes before the last act takes the stage ever again. PS: that's not even half of the line.
#3. The Smith Westerns are assholes, but they're cute assholes. Most of this band isn't even old enough to drink, so I'm inclined to give them a pass... for now. Weren't you a jerk when you were 19? Aren't you lovely and refined now? Plus they have really pretty hair and they rock. This song is from their old album, but it brought down the house at the DeVille.
#4. Short shorts really aren't that flattering. The glaring Texas sun is not kind to our thighs, ladies -- not even if you're lucky enough to be super skinny. I don't think we need any pictures to illustrate this point, do we? Let's just agree that we don't and move on.
#5. If you don't have these shoes, you may be the only one left in the world. They look pretty cute with dresses, actually.
#6. This is coming back. I do not approve.
#7. Avoid the big buzz shows like the plague. I'm so glad I didn't brave a crowd 25,000 people strong to see The Strokes' free show. By all accounts, it was a tramplefest of sprained ankles and bruises. Hell no, I won't go.
#8. Wanda Jackson is the Queen of Rockabilly. Most of the bands we saw were fronted by 20 year olds, but age and experience have their place, too. Her new album was produced by Jack White, and it's a bold offering from a lady with gravitas purring from every note of her gravelly voice.
I should probably come up with numbers 9 and 10, but I'm too tired and hungover. If you were there, feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions.
Sleep now, back tomorrow with some interesting new developments in the real estate saga...

Maui's dolphins are the worlds smallest marine dolphin species – and the rarest. This month the Department of Conservation revealed that only around fifty five of these small dolphins exist, a perilously small population. Dolphin specialist Liz Slooten from the University of Otago describes how we've reached this critical situation and what we must urgently do in response to this Maui's dolphin mayday.
Maui's dolphins, or North Island Hector's dolphins, are Critically Endangered. That means "at an extremely high risk of extinction". You might have thought that all avoidable human impacts have already been removed from their habitat – but you'd be wrong.
The 2007 Threat Management Plan, written by the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Ministry of Fisheries (Mfish), shows that dolphin deaths in fishing nets is the number one threat. Gillnets (setnets and driftnets) are the most serious problem, with trawl nets not far behind.
Unfortunately, gillnetting and trawling continue in substantial parts of Maui's dolphin habitat. The most important areas left out of the protection measures are the southern part of their range and the harbours (Kaipara, Manukau, Raglan, Aotea and Kawhia Harbours).
The Threat Management Plan was developed after several years of consultation with the fishing industry, dolphin watching industry, conservation groups, iwi and others. Occasional claims in the media that we're "not sure" if fishing is the most serious impact or that "more research" is needed, come from individuals on the fringe. The fishing industry was consulted exhaustively on this issue, and had many opportunities to state those kinds of views. The consensus, based on decades of scientific research and fisheries monitoring (e.g. placing independent observers on fishing boats) is that fishing nets are the number one threat.
The clearest, recent demonstrations are a Maui's dolphin caught in a commercial gillnet off Cape Egmont on 2 January. Not long after, two dead Hector's dolphins in a net were found on Waikuku Beach in Canterbury. These are the last examples in a long sequence of dead dolphins stranded on our beaches and brought to shore by fishermen. I have personally autopsied more than 120 of these. NIWA estimate that 110-150 Hector's and Maui's dolphins were killed in fishing nets each year between 2000 and 2006
The Minister of Fisheries is proposing to extend the protected area for Maui's dolphins south, to Hawera. This would be a step in the right direction. What's really needed is to protect Hector's and Maui's dolphins throughout their habitat, in waters up to 100 metres deep. In the map below, the red area shows the habitat of Hector's and Maui's dolphins and the green area shows the existing protection for them.
Fortunately, there is no need to stop anyone fishing – anywhere. Plenty of selective, sustainable fishing methods are available, that do not kill dolphins. We are simply asking the fishing industry to use those fishing methods. This will benefit not only dolphins, seabirds and fish, but also the long-term economic bottom line. A change to selective, sustainable fishing methods will increase the long-term profits and sustainability of the New Zealand fishery.
Once the fisheries impact has been solved, there will be a need for research and management of other threats, including pollution, marine mining and tidal energy generation.

Dr Liz Slooten is an Associate Professor in the Zoology Department at Otago University. She teaches ecology, statistics, risk analysis and an MSc course on marine mammals. Her research on Hector's and Maui's dolphins started in 1984 when she and Dr Steve Dawson started their PhD research. Since then they have supervised several more MSc and PhD projects on the species. Their long-term research programme has produced more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications.

Police: Man possibly wearing Darth Vader hoodie robs comic store
Police are investigating a Monday morning robbery at an Omaha comics and game shop.
Authorities were called for a report that a man, possibly wearing a Darth Vader hoodie, displayed a weapon and demanded merchandise from the Dragon's Lair Comics near 83rd and Blondo streets around 9:30 a.m.
Owner Bob Gellner said the robber held a clerk up at knifepoint for box sets of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
-- Watch: Man takes Yu-Gi-Oh cards in morning robbery
"There were a few Yu-Gi-Oh cards taken. Retail value would be around $150," said Gellner.
Gellner and his employees were open for business by early Monday afternoon.
No one was injured during the robbery. Police do not have a suspect at this time.
Anyone with information on the case should call a detective at 402-444-5652. If you want to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward, call Crime Stoppers at 402-444-7867.

A state task force studying gun access laws for people with mental illnesses has proposed authorizing police to seize firearms from individuals deemed a credible threat to themselves or others.
Such seizures, the panel said Wednesday, would take place after law enforcement "substantiated" reports from mental health providers, social workers and other professionals.
The proposal is among nine recommendations by a task force convened months before December's mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that sparked a nationwide debate on gun control and access to mental health services.
The shooting renewed focus on those issues in Maryland, though it was unclear whether the gun-seizure proposal or other recommendations would get attention from state lawmakers already poised to consider an assault weapons ban and limits on the size of magazine clips.
Sen. Brian Frosh, who chairs the state Senate committee that deals with gun legislation, noted that while the concept of keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people may have popular appeal, the details of such a proposal raise thorny legal questions.
"All by itself, it makes total sense, right? We don't want mentally ill people running around with guns," said Frosh, chairman of the Judicial Proceedings Committee. But, he added, "I'm not sure that there's a state in the country that has a process equal to the task."
The 17-member task force, created by the General Assembly, was charged with examining Maryland's laws that prohibit gun purchases by some people who have been hospitalized for mental illnesses. In particular, the panel was asked to look at whether the laws effectively protect the public, safeguard civil rights, and give law enforcement appropriate access to mental health records. And it was asked to recommend whether the access laws should be stricter.
The panel did not answer those questions. Patrick Dooley, task force co-chair and chief of staff at the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said members found insufficient data to suggest that mentally ill people should for that reason alone be denied access to firearms.
"There wasn't that overwhelmingly strong connection," Dooley said. "We chose instead to focus on people who are making credible threats." The panel included law enforcement officials, gun-rights advocates, mental health experts, attorneys and policy experts.
The gun-seizure proposal would depart from existing practices in Maryland that appear to set a higher bar for confiscating firearms, according to the report.
The report offered no detail on what would constitute a credible threat, though the task force suggested that guns be confiscated for up to two weeks until a judge could determine whether a seizure was appropriate. If a judge rules that guns should remain confiscated, the name of the person from whom they were seized would be added to a registry of people prohibited from owning or buying firearms.
Gun-rights advocates bristled at the suggestion that a police investigation was enough to justify confiscating weapons from people who may not have a history of violence or commitment to a mental health facility.
"The only people you affect by going overboard on legislation to restrict Second Amendment rights are the law-abiding citizens," said Sen. Nancy Jacobs, a Harford County Republican on Frosh's committee. "You're never going to know if a criminal has a gun until you catch him with it."
In recent years, other gun-surrender measures faced opposition. A proposal to require judges to order guns to be confiscated in some domestic-violence cases failed in 2008. It passed in 2009 after protections for gun owners were added to the legislation.
Maryland police can already confiscate guns in certain situations that involve drug crimes or domestic violence, Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley said. A 2008 federal court ruling based on a Gaithersburg case gave legal protection to police who seize weapons when a threat seems immediate, Shipley said.
Other suggestions by the task force include:
•Preventing someone without immediate access to guns from purchasing them if he or she is deemed a credible threat.
•Mandatory reporting of threats by mental health professionals and others.
•More mental health training for police officers.
•More education on firearm laws for mental health providers.
•Establishing mental health crisis teams similar to one Montgomery County.
•Using revenue from gun permits and licenses to pay for training.
•Crafting a way for people who lose access to guns to get them back.
•Additional studies to look at the prevalence of mental illness among criminals as well as links among substance abuse, mental health and violence.

Politicians Defer To Time Warner Lobbyists Who Wrote The Bill They're Pushing
from the funny-how-that-works... deptFollowing up on the earlier story of Time Warner Cable going the political route to try to block municipal competition in Wilson, North Carolina, Broadband Reports has a story pointing out two interesting side stories:
- During hearings about the law to ban such municipal competition, the politicians pushing the bill that would ban municipal competition were asked to clarify, and rather than answer themselves, the politicians "turned to a Time Warner staff member and an attorney who represents the industry to speak on their behalf." In other words, they outright admitted they didn't understand their own legislation and that the corporate lawyers from the company that would benefit from the legislation understood it better than they did. It's certainly no surprise that lobbyists write the legislation that politicians pass, but usually they at least try to hide it a little bit. Here they're basically flaunting the fact that Time Warner Cable wrote the bill, and the politicians just shuffled it through the process without understanding it. Isn't it great to be a servant of the people?
- Time Warner Cable is complaining about what a huge cost municipal broadband is to the people of Wilson, but leaves out the fact that Time Warner Cable's CEO's compensation from the past two years is greater than it cost the city of Wilson (via a bond measure, so not taxpayer dollars) to fund the deployment of the fiber network. And you have to wonder if Time Warner Cable will end up spending more trying to block this competition than it would have cost to have built out a competitive quality service as well.

I've driven the Pikes Peak hill climb.
Okay, maybe not the Hill Climb, in capital letters, like the one that took place on the Colorado mountain this weekend, but I've driven up Pikes Peak for an entirely separate occasion. It took me a good 30 minutes to negotiate the switchbacks, curves, dirt sections of road and harrowing vistas of road ending in sky.
That drive gives me a new appreciation for the brave souls who actually compete in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, a flat-out timed race to the summit. Compared to my time of a rather leisurely 30-40 minutes, the competitors make the 12.42-mile 156-turn drive in about 10 minutes.
But at least I didn't fly off a cliff and roll 10 times down the side of the mountain when I made the drive. That, plus falling snow and falling records dominated this year's Hill Climb.

Valuable online dating tips that are specially created for men
Books were written about the fact that men and women are different, not only in their way of thinking but also in the way they are dating, in how they see things and approaches they use in their personal life. Things are no different in the case of online dating as well, so regardless if one is using an online dating service in India or opt for traditional dating, men and women will always do things differently. Because men are not aware of these differences between them and the women they try to date, success may fail to appear. So, do know that not managing to get a woman's attention is not because of the online dating app in India you are using, but of the faulty strategy, you may have adopted. To help you, we composed a set of valuable tips that will turn in odds in their favor, so check and see how they can help.
Why are you present online?
While it may not seem that relevant, it is very important for a man to know why he is present online. Why are you using the best dating app in India? Are you looking just to have fun or you would like to find someone for a long-term relationship? Knowing what you want will help you connect with women that have the same goals and desires. So don't claim to want something you don't because that will never work out. Be honest with yourself and the women you meet and the desired results won't fail to appear.
Never forget about the importance of photos
Believe it or not, your profile photos are more important than the written content. You should provide photos that represent who you are in the best way possible, photos of both who you are and of your favorite activities and hobbies. Take plenty of photos and only choose those that are of good quality and fit your personality. Having your best friends helping with the photo selection may help a lot.
A playful profile can work wonders
The profile used for online dating should be both playful and provide relevant info about you. So, spend some time in writing real facts about yourself, like your values, but don't forget to spice everything with something fun here and there. A funny profile that will make a woman smile will definitely capture her attention.
Your first move would be to like her
You don't have the time or don't know what to say to a woman you consider interesting? Then just pick one of her photos and like it. This way, you will show your interest with diplomacy and will indirectly invite her to check you out as well. It is like allowing things to warm up slightly, making her become familiar with you before actually making contact through messages. You see, women are more likely to react in a positive manner to something that looks familiar to them, so this strategy does exactly this part, so when you decide to send the first message you won't be a complete stranger.
Your first message should send a real message while being playful
So you think that the moment arrived to initiate the first message and connect with the woman that got your attention. Be playful in the message by mentioning something about her photos or profile, like a funny detailed you notice or making a playful remark on her personality. But, at the same time, keep it real, in a balanced and brief message, if you want to get some results out of it.

This is no April Fools' joke. On April 1, Harry Potter fansite Mugglenet announced as a prank that the next book by J.K. Rowling would be titled Lairs of Lady Po. Today, Little, Brown released the actual, less whimsical name — The Casual Vacancy — along with other key details.
Rowling's new novel, which is geared toward adult readers, will be available worldwide on Sept. 27. It begins when the sudden death of a well-liked man rocks the "seemingly idyllic" town of Pagford, England. Beneath its pleasant facade, Pagford is actually a "town at war," roiled by class conflicts — rich people at odds with the poor — and in-fighting within families. The publisher described the tone of the book as "darkly comic."
The details we have so far seem to be in line with our earlier predictions that the new book would center on a crime and deal with social issues. Even though it appears to be a complete departure from Harry Potter, the brief synopsis of The Casual Vacancy is only making me more excited for Rowling's first non-wizarding novel. She's a master at making you adore some characters and despise others, and it sounds as though the premise is rich for a showdown of good, evil, and the gray area in-between.
What do you think of the new title? And the premise? Do you think it has any shot at matching the popularity of Harry Potter?

This code indicates that the PCM has detected a throttle pedal position sensor switch C circuit voltage reading that is abnormal.
Voltage/resistance variations that exceed 10-percent of the manufacturer's specified reference voltage (with the throttle in any given position as compared to engine RPMs) will cause a trouble pedal sensor code to be stored and a service engine soon lamp to be illuminated.
Possible symptoms can include black smoke at startup, poor acceleration, a no start condition, misfire at idle, start and stall, and service engine lamp illumination.
Possible causes of this code include a defective throttle pedal position sensor, loose, corroded, or damaged electrical connector, faulty circuit wiring, faulty or misadjusted TPS pedal position sensor, faulty throttle body, or a faulty PCM. PCM failures are rare.
Often the TPS sensor is replaced in error when the electrical connector face has been contaminated with moisture.
