- Care Details
Just like your sports bra takes care of you, you can return the favour and take good care of it too! It's ideal to wash your sports bra every time you wear it, but this varies on how intense your workout is. boobydoo suggests you avoid tumble drying as it changes the integrity of the bra. If your bra is underwired then hand washing it delicately is more efficient and will extend the lifespan of your bra. We recommend following the manufacturers guidelines for how to wash your sports bra, but for more of our tips, read our blog post: http://www.boobydoo.co.uk/boobydooblog/taking-care-of-your-sports-bra/

- Good support but comes up small
The back size comes up really small on this. My other shock absorbers are a 30 I had to get a 32 and it's still a bit tight.
Fit Price Value Support
- Very odd sizing
used to run in these, had two. Very tight around my 32DD torso, but for running I like them tight.
Went to buy another as the hooks had given up on both, but the sizing was very weird - in my usual 32DD I could barely breathe - I do need to breathe while running. Tried the 34D but that cut into my armpits. Eventually setted for a 34C which passed the bounce test while not grabbling my armpits. Cups seem to come a reasonable way up the chest. However during the first run in mile 2 I felt the band moving around on my ribs, obviously too big, even on the smallest hook.
Pros - does work if you can get the size right. Easy to put on and off - just do up the racer clip before putting over your head, then fasten the hooks when on.
Cons - sizing very odd - I haven't been a "c" cup for more than 20 years! BIG difference between sizes. Current one consigned to gym classes and squash, definitely not up to running spec. Material got hard with washing. Strap length also funny - in the 32DD I was right on the last slot, but in the 34C I wish it would go smaller.
Will try Panache and Moving Comfort Juno next.

- Great bra, wire fastenings bent though
Love this bra and it did a great job-probably my favourite sports bra shape-felt very supported. Unfortunately the metal hook and eye fastening at the back did not last long, breaking after only 2 months. 1 bent very quickly out of shape, the hook came out and it rubbed my back. The increased pressure then caused the other one to rupture and was very uncomfortable . I have had to send it back. This is a shame as its a lovely bra. I am going to order another one-hope it was justa a one off!
Price Value
- Very odd sizing
Used to wear this as my main running bra. My current two have given out with the hooks pulling out of the material. I went to buy another and found the chest band *very* tight. I usually wear a 32DD in Shock Absorber Run, hooks and straps on the longest setting, and same size as my normal bras. I do like my sports bras to be cosy but this was silly tight. Sizing up to a 34 I had to drop to a C cup. Unfortunately the straps are now slightly too long even on the shortest setting. Sizing down to a B cup will reveal an amount of cleavage that indicates insufficient coverage, hence bounce. So I tried the 34C but find on 5K runs that there is some movement in the chest band even with it on the tightest hook, and definitely more bounce than I had in the 32DD. Has the sizing changed since I bought my forst ones a few years ago?
I have no trouble with the top fastening - simply do it up before putting the bra on over your head! Simples! I have never had an issue with the strap adjuster "tube" system - other than there simply isn't enough adjustment in strap length. I don't have any problem with the shape the Run produces for me, looks fine under vests.
I shall have to try the Panache and Moving comfort bras instead.

- Great Running Bra
I have bought three of these - they are so supportive and comfortable. However I am sad to say that after a year I cannot rely on them for outdoor running anymore as one of the hooks on the adjustable straps keeps sliding out of it's tube, and I can't put it back in without taking it off - so no good if you're out road running! I think it's because the hook gets stretched wider with wear and tear so it doesn't hold anymore. If only it was made with the normal strap length adjustment, then this wouldn't happen. I'm hoping this hook/strap info gets back to the designers somehow, as this bra is otherwise hard to beat, and I would recommend it.

Replacing trim where linoleum meets tub
I have a fairly new home. The bathroom trim is all wood and the stuff around the bottom of the tub is ruined. Worse yet none of this was caulked by the builder either. So I've tore off the trim around the tub which was nailed down. Lots of black dirt down there from my gf washing the dogs paws in the tub and mildew. I've been cleaning it the best I could with a putty knife and vinegar but the edge of the sub flooring under the linoleum is stained black. The side of the tub where no one gets in or out looks ok.
The gap looks a bit large to cover with caulk but I was going to try that first and then after that dries use plastic trim and caulk around that. However if the caulk covers the gap I wonder if it would be better not to use any trim at all at the bottom of the tub.
This has been bugging me for a while but I'm not that handy. Any other tips to do this properly?
After you're sure you got all the mold and it's dry, you can apply a small composite molding to the floor. Silicone the tub to the molding and the molding to the floor.
thanks. I have been scrubbing this crack with a tooth brush and also shoving paper towels in there and scrapping with a putty knife. The black dirt that comes out seems to be endless. I'm going to give it another go but the only way to get all of this would be to tear everything apart and replace the wood. I don't see signs of mold anywhere else in the room. Just where water has dripped down the tub to the floor.
Hopefully after its dried and caulked I won't have anymore problems. I know that vinegar is one of the best mold killers but you can never get it all. Still bugs me that its there. Seems almost any house I'm in no matter how expensive always has black gunk in bathroom crevices.
I've read on several sites that household bleach is a poor mold killer. It can actually turn into food for the mold. Commercial products might be different. I've seen other reports that vinegar is a much better mold killer.
The main objective is to remove as much of the mold as possible and control humidity since you can never get all of it as it grows down into the wood. Mold is often embedded into the wood your house is built with and only needs moisture to activate. Often sanding still leaves mold stains and helps to spread to the rest of the house!
A guy that researches this stuff emailed me a while back and said sometimes after doing a good cleanup you can prevent it from spreading with polyurethane sealers. Kiltz can also turn into mold food.
I'm being hopeful that only this small area that was constantly abused by water is where it is.
As mentioned above, there are composite (plastic) trim pieces that can be used. Went to google it for you but this item popped up first and thought it might be more for you and the dogs.
If the women don't find you handsome,
they should at least find you handy.

What's your favorite cell phone app right now?
Have you ever heard the term binge-watching?
A guy watching me?
No! (laughing). It's when you watch a TV show for several hours at a time.
No, I never heard and I don't do it (laughing).

Front door installation - couple q's
I have a solid wood, completely unfinished slab for my front door (6 square patterns, but just raw wood).
Is this the general way to approach this?
1) drill holes for peep hole, door knob, etc; prep/chisel for size, and for hinges
2) primer (is primer necessary if I later top coat with sealer?)
3) paint
4) clear coat (polyurethane I think) my satin finish (using matte red paint, I want it matte most other places so will be using the clear coat to make it satin)
5) install doorknob, peep hole, etc.
6) install into door frame
Is that basically on point? Again, this is just a slab front door, no frame or anything, it'll just be going where the old door was, on the old frame. I guess my main points of confusion are whether or not I need primer if I'm sealing it after the paint, and if my order of paint/drilling/etc is proper.
Your plan sounds good but yes you need primer. Primer seals the wood so paint doesn't soak in. Top coat clear will seal and protect the paint.
Make very sure all holes, hinges are correct. Hang the door, make sure all is good then take it down and prime/paint/finish. Or paint when it is hung.
When finishing exterior doors I always remove all the hardware and lay it out on horses. That way every part is sealed.
And yes, your plan is sound.
PS.. If you have a router, a hinge jig will make setting the hinges a breeze.

In the face of all of those doubters, Starr led the Packers to five championships in a seven-year span and is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Author Keith Dunnavant lends fresh perspective on Starr, and what he meant in NFL history, in "America's Quarterback: Bart Starr and the Rise of the National Football League," which was released this month and is available at all the usual retailers.
"When you're writing sports books, you're always looking for something that hasn't been done or hasn't been done right," Dunnavant told Packer Report in a recent magazine story. "I felt like Starr was a terrific story that had not been told fully or told through the right prism. You're talking about a guy who, on the one hand, is this classic overachiever. He was doubted by his father, he was benched by his college coach, Lombardi at first didn't want him. Media across the league doubted him, dismissed him for so long. Yet, he's the winningest quarterback in the history of the NFL. Even serious students of the NFL, how many of them know that? On a deeper level, I like to write sports books that kind of reflect the culture of who we were and who we are. Starr was a guy who really was a reflection of late-20th century America and what we valued. He was this squeaky-clean embodiment about so many things we believed about ourselves, and yet he was the real deal."
America's Quarterback: Bart Starr and the Rise of The National Football League
By Keith Dunnavant
"Everybody talks about the 1958 championship game, which, of course, was the moment of awakening for the NFL and Johnny U became this huge star and the Colts became this national phenomenon," Dunnavant said. "And then the Packers take it to an entirely different level. The Packers were America's Team long before the Cowboys. All of these things were happening, and also the fact that Pete Rozelle comes along at just the right time. He goes out and sells the national television package for the NFL, and out of that, lifts the NFL and, by the way, that's the best thing that could have possibly happened to the Packers. Who knows what would have happened if that disparity in income with television had continued. It helps the Packers prosper financially. And then you have the competition with the AFL. There's nothing quite like having a rival. So, yeah, it was a perfect storm and the Packers became this gold standard. Of all the great teams that we've seen since then, we haven't seen anybody equal what Lombardi's team accomplished."
The following is the start of Chapter 4. It is printed below, courtesy of St. Martin's Press.
The first clue was sealed in his memory.
When Bart Starr picked up a copy of the Green Bay Press-Gazette on the morning after Vince Lombardi was introduced as the new head coach and general manager of the Green Bay Packers, the name did not immediately register. Like the vast majority of Green Bay fans, Starr knew little about his new boss beyond the most recent line on his resume: offensive coordinator for the New York Giants. But when he saw a photograph of Lombardi in the paper — his piercing eyes smiling through eyeglasses, exposing the gap between his two front teeth — something clicked in his mind.
The memory was still fresh and vivid: After leading the Packers to a touchdown in a preseason game against the Giants at Boston's Fenway Park in 1958, Starr was jogging off the field when he noticed a burly assistant coach with graying hair screaming "at the top of his lungs" toward the New York defense, castigating the unit for allowing the score. The man's intensity was hard to miss — even in a meaningless preseason game eventually won by the struggling Packers — and Starr was struck by the fact that an offensive coach could be so animated about the defense.
The face was unmistakable.
It was him, a realization that landed "like a lightning bolt."
When Starr suddenly realized the same figure who caught his eye in Boston was staring out from the front page of his morning paper, he knew the Green Bay Packers, burdened by the weight of eleven consecutive nonwinning seasons, by the accumulated gloom produced by all those years of futility, poor discipline, and low expectations, were in for a rude awakening.
Several weeks later, the new coach convened his quarterbacks and a few other offensive players for a three-hour meeting inside a classroom on the second floor of the Packers' headquarters, the first session of what amounted to a spring mini-camp.
"Good morning," he said, scanning the room where the athletes sat quietly in folding chairs. "I'm Vince Lombardi."
Nothing about the Packers would ever be the same.
From the first moments, Starr and his teammates could tell the new man was different, which was good because they desperately needed a large dose of different. His demeanor was direct, confident, cerebral, commanding. He never raised his voice. The way he spoke and comported himself reminded Starr of a military officer, and for a young man shaped in such a mold, this seemed like a very good sign.
"Immediately you had a strong feeling about the quality of the man," Starr said.
After Lombardi walked around the room handing out new playbooks and took up a position near the blackboard, chalk in hand, he said, "We're going to take a giant step backward, gentlemen."
The first milestone in the transformation was a dramatic simplification of the offense. As he asked the players to empty their skulls full of Scooter McLean's mush, they noticed that the new playbook was less than half the size of the old one. The point was clear: They were going to do a few things and do them all well.
In contrast to McLean's unnecessarily verbose wording, which often left his quarterbacks overwhelmed, Lombardi introduced a new play-calling terminology boiled down to two digits: one number for the formation, another for the hole. The new system transferred the calling of blocking assignments from the quarterback to the offensive linemen and gave the quarterback much greater latitude to react to the defense.
"This was such a radical change," Starr said. "He threw out all the crap. And you're thinking: Man, does this make sense or what?"
As he diagrammed several plays, Lombardi was able to manipulate the chalk without losing eye contact with his players, a little detail that impressed Starr.
Then, in what amounted to a verbal mission statement, he clarified the purpose of his Green Bay Packers.
"Gentlemen," he said, "we are going to relentlessly chase perfection ... knowing full well that we won't catch it, because nobody is perfect ..."
Starr was on the edge of his seat, soaking up the message like a sponge.
"... but we're going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process, we will catch excellence."
The words tumbled in Starr's mind as Lombardi paused and moved closer, close enough to see the fire in his eyes. Starr would always remember the pause, the perfectly timed theatricality of it, the way it heightened the sense of anticipation pervading the room.
"I'm not remotely interested in being just good."
In a moment pregnant with possibility, gleaming with the sort of ambition the Packers had sorely lacked, the pulsating life force of Vince Lombardi reached deep inside Bart Starr and grabbed him in a way no one had ever grabbed him before. He was so fired up he wanted to stand up and cheer.
"We were all just blown away," he said. "It was so inspiring ... such an exciting moment."
When they took a break for lunch, Starr rushed downstairs to a pay phone and placed a long-distance call to Cherry at their off-season home in Birmingham. "Honey," he said excitedly, "we're going to begin to win."

If you ask us, our Classic Caramel Mocha Frappuccino CoolCart Vapor King Cartomizers are even better than the original café concoction. Layers of robust, dark roasted coffee flavor with the richness of mocha meet the smooth sweetness of caramel in these prefilled e Cig cartomizers. Like our other CoolCart cartomizers, these delicious Vapor King cartomizers are slightly longer in length, allowing them to hold a little more vapor juice than regular premium cartomizers. They also run a little cooler. Vapor4Life is the only place you can find this original, classic e Cigarette flavor formula! Each box includes 5 prefilled cartomizers.

Best flavor evah!!!Slightly sweet with a heavenly aroma! This is my all time favorite!
Very niceI like the new version of CMF more but this version is still very good.
Yummy!I am not a lover of the conglomerate coffee company that has taken over the world. Personally I think there coffee sucks and is roasted to death, but I do like there Caramel Mocha Frappe and by gosh this is a dead ringer for it. I use the 18mg carts and have bought the same mg juice, both are excellent and will order again and again. They go especially well with coffee....go figure;)
Pleasantly SurprisedMy new favorite flavor. I love iced carmel lattes and this really does hit the spot on flavor. Creamy, sweet and mellow. If you like the Cappucino flavor you'll definitely like this one.
These are the best dessert carts I've ever tried!If you like caramel, frappe with a hint of chocolate (just a tad), you LOVE these!
These are hands down my favorite flavor for dessert cartos - not too sweet, not bitter, these are just right, like a great cup of frappe, but without the sugar!
If you like specialty coffees, give this one a try... you won't be disappointed!
Hoping we can get the Classic in eJuice! I could live on these (& the Hiltons for my tobacco flavor.)

Residents are invited to celebrate the release of Middle Tennessee State University: A Centennial Legacy with members of the university community Tuesday at 3 p.m. in the Tom Jackson Building on campus.
The special reception will be held in Cantrell Hall, and professors whose work is featured in the book will be present to discuss their contributions, including Janice M. Leone, a professor of history in the College of Liberal Arts.
Free parking will be available in the Woodfin Lot at the corner of Greenland Drive and Middle Tennessee Boulevard.
In 2008, John Vile, dean of the University Honors College, encouraged the college to participate in MTSU's upcoming Centennial Celebration.
Leone, who also serves as associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, worked with Honors Associate Dean Scott Carnicom to develop the fall 2009 Honors Lecture Series, "Blue Raider Milestones: Approaching the Centennial."
Those nine lectures became original essays, and paired with three new essays, became the 12 chapters of A Centennial Legacy.
Current and retired MTSU history faculty are the essayists included in the book's 302 pages, along with Reuben Kyle, an emeritus professor of economics, and Phil Mathis, former dean of the Honors College.
Jordan Kirkman, a graduate student in the College of Liberal Arts, and John Lodl, director of the Rutherford County Archives, are also among those featured in the book.
Learn more about the book in the current Honors Edition magazine, which is available online at http://bit.ly/MTHonorsEditionFall11 (page 41).
To order the book, call Phillips Bookstore at 615-898-5679. Copies will also be available at the reception. For more information, call 615-494-7628.

Woman Searching For Mystery Man She Kissed During Boston Marathon Contacted By His Wife
A Tennessee woman's search-gone-viral for the man she kissed while running the Boston Marathon ended when she got an unexpected response.
A Tennessee woman's search-gone-viral for the man she kissed while running the Boston Marathon ended when she got an unexpected response.
Between 2:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., a flag-raising ceremony and moment of silence will be held at the marathon finish line, to mark the time and place where the two bombs exploded.
The horror of the Boston Marathon bombings are back in clear detail in a new video that features the city's EMS.
UPDATE 2:25 p.m. EST: The suspects' names are Azamat Tazhayakov, Dias Kadyrbayev and Robel Phillipos. From The Boston Globe:
Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19 and of New Bedford, were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by plotting to dispose of a laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks belonging to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the US attorney's office said in a statement.
Robel Phillipos, 19, of Cambridge was charged with making false statements to law enforcement officials in a terorism investigation, prosecutors said.
12:10 p.m. EST: According to Boston.com, the three suspects went to school at UMass-Dartmouth with Dzhokar Tsarnaev and may have helped him in the days immediately following the bombing, which was on April 15. Two of the suspects have been charged with overstaying their student visas.
The Boston Police Department announced that it has taken into custody three new suspects as a result of its ongoing investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing.
Students at Northeastern University crowded into the streets, clapping and cheering at passing police officers, waving American flags and singing the country's National Anthem.
Special Agent Rick DesLauriers of the FBI, who is leading the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings, just held a press conference in which he revealed that there are two suspects. The FBI released photographs and video of two men believed to be responsible for the attacks.
Maybe you think of comedian and actor Patton Oswalt as the guy who brilliantly nicknamed KFC's Famous Bowls "Sadness Bowls." Maybe to you he is the guy from 'King of Queens' or the voice of 'Ratatouille.' But he is also the person who came up with the uplifting message we all needed to hear after yesterday's tragic bombing during the Boston Marathon.

The University of Essex has 11 Grades and 53 spinal points.
In most cases, our employees will receive annual increments until their scale
maximum is reached. In cases where employees are placed on a fixed salary point,
no increments will be awarded.
Increments are awarded annually at 1 August (for Grades 1-6) or 1 October
(for Grades 7-11) each year, subject to satisfactory service. The award of the
first increment on the scale is subject to 6 months of continuous satisfactory
service in the Grade by the 1 August (Grades 1-6) or 1 October (Grades 7-11).
Those areas shaded in grey on the Pay Structure are discretionary points and are
only awarded to those individuals who have reached the top of their grade and
who have shown continuing and sustained work performance over an extended period
of time. No individual may be awarded a discretionary salary point unless
already at the top of the ordinary scale or currently paid on a range of
discretionary points at the top of a scale.
All our employees normally receive an annual salary increase, negotiated at
national level with the recognised trade unions, and usually effective from 1
August each year.
Along with more than 120 HE institutions we use a job evaluation scheme
called HERA (Higher Education Role Analysis) to grade all posts in the pay
structure – apart from academic and research posts. These posts are graded
via HERA-based national role profiles and the University's own Annual Review procedures
for academic and research staff.

Known as the "First Lady of Country Music," Loretta Lynn has entertained audiences for decades thanks to her songs inspired by life as a coal miner's daughter, and experiences as a wife and mother by the age of 15. Throughout her 50-plus year career, Lynn has released 60 albums, selling 45 million records worldwide. Ten albums have reached No. 1 with 16 No. 1 singles on the country charts. Her many awards and accolades include four Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, eight Country Music Association awards, among many more. To date, she remains the most-awarded woman in all of country music.
With many songs focused on women's issues and feminism, she often took on philandering husbands, mistresses, and a variety of controversial issues in her lyrics that forced many radio stations to ban her music. Nine of her songs were banned from some country stations, but her relatable stories and lyrics hit home with many fans. Her New York Times bestselling 1976 autobiography, "Coal Miner's Daughter," was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones.
After marrying Oliver Vanetta Lynn, Jr., at the age of 15, the couple moved to Custer, Wash., to start their family and escape the coal mining industry of her hometown of Butcher Hollow, KY. By the age of 20, she had four children, with two more to come. Lynn was a grandmother before she hit the ripe old age of 30.
Although the Lynns were married for more than 50 years, up until her husband's death in 1996 it was a rocky relationship chronicled in songs throughout her career.
Throughout the course of her career, she has worked with some of country music's biggest stars, from Conway Twitty and Tammy Wynette to Dolly Parton. But her appeal extended beyond the boundaries of country music alone. Her 2004 album, "Van Lear Rose," was produced by rocker Jack White of the White Stripes, who also performed as a musician and vocalist on certain tracks. "Rolling Stone" named the collaboration the second-best album of the year in 2004. She is reportedly working on a follow-up to "Van Lear Rose" as well as a new CD of re-recorded versions of some of her biggest hits from throughout the decades.
Loretta Lynn plays the Emerald Queen Casino's I-5 Showroom on Oct. 17 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $30-$65, available at http://ticketmaster.com.

Convenient and relatively inexpensive, frozen meals come with the reputation of being an unhealthy, unwholesome option for your dinner. While perhaps not the best thing you could be eating this evening, it is hard to escape the ease of removing the box from your freezer, throwing the tray on a baking sheet in the oven or popping it in the microwave, for a quickly served hot dinner that requires no real thinking. When life gets hectic, the frozen entrée can save you stress in the kitchen and valuable time. That simplicity doesn't necessarily have to come at the cost of your health.
By following a few basic guidelines and carefully reading the packaging, you can navigate your way through frozen entrées with ease, and select the best bet for dinner. To be a savvy shopper, know what you need a frozen meal to have before you go to the grocery store in order to pick the ready-made meal that won't wreck your diet and health.
Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, writing for WebMD, categorized frozen meals into two categories: "light meals" and "regular" dinners. For the first, Zelman says to keep the meal under 300 calories, and with less than 8 grams of fat. The second should not have more than 25 grams of fat, and you'll want around 360 to 400 calories per serving.
Sodium can quickly balloon out of control when frozen meals are involved, and there are two main ways to approach controlling for sodium. The first is to find meals that do not contain more than 800 milligrams of sodium in a serving. If that is even too high for you, you can divide the amount of sodium you aim to have in your diet each day by three, and find meals that fall under that amount.

Feminism | Posted by Lily N on 01/6/2011
Good Girls Don't Go To Jail
I hit him out of frustration, or maybe out of love. I hit him because I was scared and confused and hurting, but none of that mattered. The part that mattered is that I hit him. I found out that jail was exactly what I thought it would be. It was the stale cold from a poorly heated building in a Colorado winter and the pinching of the handcuffs on my outer wrists and heels. It was the pit in my stomach as I held back the tears in my mug shot and the hard cringe as I stripped my clothes off for the female officer. Mostly it was the rush of disappointment and confusion as I removed the pink bow from my hair. It reminded me that good girls don't go to jail.
It was not in the plan to get a domestic violence charge at age seventeen. Unfortunately, sometimes people make plans for us. My boyfriend had devised the perfect one. Nobody wants to be the dumper. The dumper is mean and awful and almost always the bad guy. As the dumper, it's hard to get much sympathy and you end up wasting
valuable time feeling bad for someone else. It requires awkward timing and planning of words and is overall completely undesirable. So rather than deal with all of this, he had decided to cheat. It was the perfect plan. Bill Clinton did it, Tiger Woods did it, even Brad Pitt did it, so why couldn't he? When Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie, girls everywhere professed that Angelina was the worst person in the world for breaking up America's Sweethearts. The two emotions associated with cheating usually include hatred and pity. Hatred for the homewrecker and pity for the scorned woman. The lesson learned? Cheating is an easy way out. My boyfriend could cheat on me because, naturally, we would all blame the "slut" for hooking up with him. For some reason, society is okay with men's promiscuity, while simultaneously scorning women for the same actions. So his plan would work. He could cheat on me, and I might cry, but ultimately I would blame her. He knew I would because that's what society had taught him.
As a woman today, I have to fight for my man. I have to work hard so I am enough for him. Jennifer didn't have the pursed lips and the rippling muscles that Angelina had. Her flawless face and perfectly kept form was not enough to keep Brad happy, so he was justified in moving on to Angelina. Jennifer probably wasn't smart enough or kind enough or maybe she wasn't ready to have his children. I knew that just like Jennifer, I had to be on constant upkeep or my man would leave me. Society has taught me that my appearance is more important than my heart. Behaving like a lady trumps defending my honor. So as a woman, as a humiliated, objectified, and belittled woman, I should have known better. I should have read the evidence of his infidelity and cried myself to sleep knowing that I wasn't enough for him.
Truth is, I am enough. Just as it isn't Jennifer Aniston's fault that Brad wasn't able to respect his promise, it isn't my fault either. It isn't any of our faults, so women, I say, screw society! He cheated and lied. He threw me and pushed me and shoved me. I did what any smart girl would do. I defended myself. It's disgusting that our society today now promotes backing down and blaming ourselves rather than defending what is right. I'm proud to be a strong woman and I'm proud for not allowing his abuse. And the fact that any human being could look at me and say getting arrested is what I deserve is the saddest and most pathetic thing I have ever heard.
The court sentenced me to hours upon hours of counseling, teaching me never to defend myself again. The court taught me that lying, cheating, infidelity, and abuse is okay when it comes from a man and that as a woman I should just deal with it. Stereotypes of women create an unsafe and very unequal environment for the female population. Until society is willing to level out the playing field, our culture will continue to see violence and infidelity amongst men and timidity and helplessness amongst women. After fellow students found out about my visit to the county jail, I was avoided and discriminated against at school. Not once was I asked for a statement to the judge or for my side of the story. Not once was I approached by a school administrator or teacher. Everyone knew I had hit someone, and that was all anybody needed to know. The discrimination toward me, a "violent" female, heavily outweighed the discrimination of a dishonest boy.
I can only pray that other women of society will not travel down the same path I have, but ultimately, the structure of society must change. In one of my last therapy sessions before heading to college, I was asked "If you were placed in a domestic violence situation again, would you defend yourself?" Sadly, the answer is no.

Wow, this was an extremely powerful piece – you are so strong and so amazing. The world needs more people like you out there.
A @ at 6:19 pm, January 6th, 2011
Lily- this is an amazing piece, and I'm assuming that it's true. It's ridiculous that no one even tried to hear your side of the story. I don't, of course, know your full circumstance, and whether your actions were justified… but regardless, everyone's perspective should be heard, particularly in a court of law. Thank you for speaking up!
firefly @ at 8:20 pm, January 6th, 2011
This was so powerful, so amazing. May I use this as inspiration for a story?
David @ at 10:04 am, January 7th, 2011
I'm sorry, but in all the action and characters to this story I got confused. Who was it again that was responsible for you beating on someone?
Society hasn't taught you the negative things you speak about. Society is just society and no one has control of its ebb and flow.
Feminism has taught you the philosophy of weakness. Feminism has taught you that you live in a position of powerless abuse. Feminism has isolated you against men, against the so called patriarchy, social systems, media outlets, your parents, standards within society, other women, and even against you own self worth. They tell you that you can't win, you are a victim, you have no power, no money and little support.
Feminism has also taught you that you will be either, sexually, physically or mentally abused and most likely by your father or other male relatives that you once trusted. You have been told that your roll in life is to be a second class citizen beneath the huge piggish weight of the patriarchy. You have been told that your only friend is another feminist
In truth, women are the faith, heart and soul of a society. Women are not only the basis of power in a society; women literally, are the society. The only way that a society can control the power of women is to completely isolate them like some societies do in other cultures but even then it ends up controlling their culture.The power of woman are not in her fist.
The world needs women, no one needs a feminist.
A @ at 4:25 pm, January 7th, 2011
@David- I utterly disagree. I am a proud feminist, and feminism has NOT taught me those things.
"Feminism has also taught you that you will be either, sexually, physically or mentally abused and most likely by your father or other male relatives that you once trusted. You have been told that your roll in life is to be a second class citizen beneath the huge piggish weight of the patriarchy. You have been told that your only friend is another feminist."
Feminism acknowledges these abuses so those who have suffered them realize that they are not alone. It is thanks to feminism that rape and domestic violence victims have places to go and realization that what has happened to them is not their fault. Feminism does not perpetuate the patriarchy; it merely acknowledges its existence. Feminism just admits the truth that exists for SOME women (not all): that they are inferior because of their gender. Feminists only acknowledge these problems so there is enough awareness to merit the disappearance of them.
David @ at 9:37 pm, January 7th, 2011
If I may quote you, "Feminism acknowledges these abuses so those who have suffered them realize that they are not alone. It is thanks to feminism that rape and domestic violence victims have places to go and realization that what has happened to them is not their fault."
The article is written by someone who committed domestic violence, ….it's called irony.
Katherine C. @ at 12:44 pm, January 8th, 2011
Well, OK, I'll admit that I REALLY didn't get that, Lilly. Beating on someone because they cheated on you does not constitute self-defense. It's not something to be proud of.
At the end, when you used the term "defend myself," I was pretty confused. Had he hit you first? I read over the entire post again to make sure I hadn't missed something, and, no, I hadn't. So, quite frankly, this made me angry. Guess what? People cheat. Men cheat. Women cheat. It's a horrible thing to do, but it does not necessarily make the cheater an intrinsically bad person. How would you react if you read about a man beating his girlfriend up because she had cheated on him?
Basically, I was really disappointed. This is the kind of crap that gives feminism a bad name. NO ONE is culpable for your violence against another person- ESPECIALLY not the victim- but you.
Katherine C. @ at 5:55 pm, January 8th, 2011
If I did miss something after all- because I'm still very confused as to the meaning of this essay- I apologize for the vitrol
Em @ at 4:25 pm, January 9th, 2011
I don't think some of you get the point of this story. It isn't about who started the problem or even about her using violence against her boyfriend. The point is that men can cheat on women and not get in trouble, but if a women were to say, stand up for herself like this girl did, she would get in trouble. It shows society's prejudice against women standing up for themselves against men who've wronged them. Just saying
firefly @ at 5:31 pm, January 9th, 2011
@David: A didn't write this article, you realize?
@Katherine C: I think she said it was self-defense because they both got into a physical fight? And she said that no one would listen to her version of the events.
David @ at 12:33 am, January 10th, 2011
I get it now. It shows society's prejudice against women standing up for themselves against men who've wronged them.
Alex Catgirl @ at 2:33 pm, January 10th, 2011
IDK, given that we have not heard hear all the evidence presented at the trial, it's hard to tell if you had been wronged or not.
I would of left out everything about Brad Pitt, who gives a fuck about what actors/actresses do.
I would never, ever, ever get into a fight over a guy (or a girl either) or cheating, life is WAY to short and there are plenty of other fishes in the sea….which says a lot because I'm rather bloody – I like conflict.
Then again, it could be a Colorado law thing, "Fly Over" country is fly over country for a reason – I'd rather not deal with backwater cowboy/hillbillies who love their country and their gawd, but at 17 you don't get much of a choice about where you are going to live.
Anonymous @ at 8:40 pm, January 11th, 2011
I'm sorry, but I really cannot find a reason to justify your violence against your boyfriend. If your boyfriend had started a physical fight, then yes, it is okay to hit him back as self-defense. But since you haven't stated that, it just makes you look like an asshole crying for pity as a victim.
From your post, it seems clear that your boyfriend did not want to be with you, so why do you have to fight for him? Everyone cheats, and people cannot just be controlled to like the person they're with. It was wrong of your boyfriend for cheating on you, but how does that require physical "self defense"? No one is telling you to blame yourself for his mistake, but hitting him in this situation is completely inappropriate. And I'm sure it would be just as inappropriate if a man did this to a woman.
That being said, I find it hard to believe that your therapist told you not to defend yourself. They might have told you not to hit your boyfriend for cheating (because no one should really commit violence for that sort of thing)which you may have thought constituted self defense. Which it doesn't.
And your statement, "I had to be on constant upkeep or my man would leave me," is complete bullshit (unless it was sarcasm) It embodies the very same sexist ideals that society wants you to believe. As I said before, people are not objects, but society and sexism wants females to believe that their boyfriends will be unfaithful (by their very nature) and that girls have to keep a "leash" on them. What this means is that the act of constantly keeping an eye on your man in fear of him leaving you for another woman is something society has told you to do, not something you should actually do. And I know you realize it's not your fault that he has left you, but this post was such a jumble of ideas that I didn't know what to make of it. I thought, from the first paragraph, that you were being detained for hitting your boyfriend back in actual self defense from an abusive relationship.
Lily N @ at 11:19 am, January 13th, 2011
1. It was physical defense. Readers today need to stop looking for the "juice" and pick up on the subtle hints.
2. It's idea based. It lacks detail for a reason… Because it wasn't written as gossip- it was written to make people think about the entire picture. In the grand scheme of things- my story means nothing. Social norms do. As for the feminist arguments- I'm not trying to be a victim. A victim could easily write some "feel-bad-for-me" account of some sad story and others would cry when they read it. Clearly that's not the point here, as I am sure that had anyone heard that version- they would see me as a victim. There's been no abuse outside of this in my life- my father is the best man in the world. The article is written to make people think about the umbrella effect of the whole story and how it's effecting men and women in society.
3. The entire bit that sounds ridiculous is of course sarcasm. "fighting for your man" is absurd. I was joking.
4. Colorado is not hillbillies…
5. Most importantly- thank you everyone for your encouragement! It took a lot of courage for me to write this and the support is so welcomed.
Lone @ at 10:09 am, January 15th, 2011
It wasn't really that subtle a hint
"He threw me and pushed me and shoved me. I did what any smart girl would do. I defended myself."
Nereida @ at 10:53 am, January 15th, 2011
Hitting someone is illegal. I wish you included more details, your story is a little confusing. Did he hit you first? Was it an abusive relationship or did he cheat on you and that is the reason you hit him (sorry if my English is not good). I am not sure why you went to jail (he called the police I assume?) more details are necessary to make your point, I believe. But this seems like a traumatic experience and I am sorry for any pain you experienced and wish you the best. Also if the judge did not hear your side that is not fair.
Also about the appearance thing…this is a true thing about some men because they are very visual, especially in Spain/Argentina where I am from and have lived…but the really good men can appreciate the little things and miss them when the woman leaves, like the humming she does while making coffee or her laughter.
best wishes to you (I apologize for the very long post.)
Anon (for today) @ at 3:29 am, January 17th, 2011
@David Feminism didn't teach me that women and girls are abused and raped at appalling rates, and usually by people they know, other girls, sharing their stories in whispers at sleepovers or in empty locker rooms, taught me that, and eventually my own experience taught me that. Feminism didn't teach me that my role was that of a second-class citizen, my church enthusiastically taught me that. Feminism didn't teach me that I'd be physically abused, and in fact, I can't remember a time before I was physically abused. Feminism didn't distance me from my parents, but in fact my parents did a spectacular job of distancing me from them all on their own. Feminism didn't teach me that I was weak and powerless and had no support, as my male peers were more than happy to teach me that first. Feminism didn't teach me that I had no support system, but the people to whom I tried to reveal the abuse and depression clearly demonstrated that.
Heck, at the time that I learned all of these lessons, I still only heard of feminism in the context of home-wrecking, baby-killing, abortion-happy lesbians, so whatever feminism might have been trying to tell me, I was NOT listening.
Parents, church leaders, teachers, my friends, classmates, peers – if all of those people do not collectively comprise part of "society", a society that taught me all those harmful ideas that you claim are the fault of feminism, then who is "society"?
People like to use the words "society" and "culture", forgetting that themselves, their friends, family members, and so on are part of those things. But they're not – if you/your sibling/your friend says "the world is like xyz!" then that's one tiny part of society's larger message of "the world is like xyz!".
David @ at 10:37 am, January 18th, 2011
It is obvious that you must have had a very difficult past. Just how common that is I don't know but I won't disrespect you experiences.
However, I would like to point out something to you that I think is pure feminist concept.
You said, "Parents, church leaders, teachers, my friends, classmates, peers – if all of those people do not collectively comprise part of "society", a society that taught me all those harmful ideas that you claim are the fault of feminism, then who is "society"?
"Who is society, -society is your chosen enemy! This is the enemy that feminism has created through antidotal stories and skewed statistics. Feminism says society is men, and men, (and now boys) are evil, untrustworthy, stupid, and laughable; progresseve women are the only people of any value.
david @ at 6:52 pm, January 18th, 2011
Because I'm not a great communicator I think a little more explanation of my feelings is in order.
The flaw is see in feminist dogma is one of its uses of bias. Feminism has vilified a large portion of the population as bad people. Well, not just bad, but evil. In particular, feminism has mainly singled out men, -all men, even friends, even family. But beyond men they have held up religion, existing organizations and government as also suspect. Feminism is basically saying that women should not trust anything that isn't feminist approved.
At the same time, feminism has praised the largest portion of the population, "women" as good, but only feminist women. As well as saying feminist are good they are also saying that feminist are smarter, stronger, and more resourceful than the evil ones. Feminist are winners, -never losers, feminist are superior, not just equals. When a young woman goes out into the world and can't be all these things and isn't as strong as she is supposed to be, feminism is right there with the same rehashed answer about society's prejudice against women. This, "victim" excuse even works if the woman is a complete loser or has committed terrible acts.
Women, weather you believe it or not, are the very core and foundation of a culture. Their expectations set the standards for a society. However, with the simple tools of fear and mistrust, feminism has alienated an entire generation of these women from people whose only interest is to protect them.
As I have said in another post, "God help our young girls. At the same time they are being told a father's love may be suspect, they are being lead up a mountain to a cliff edge and then told they can fly."

The lesson here – stay away from assholes!If anyone treats you in a way that you don't like, then forget about them and move on. There are too many assholes in the world, and life is too precious to waste even thinking about them for 1 second.
First, get to know yourself (ie, your values, beliefs,etc). To do this, you need to spend some time by yourself. Then, slowly and carefully, try to hook up with like-minded people (people with similar interests, values, beliefs, etc). This is so important in life, but most people miss it, and as a result, have dickheads and assholes for friends/partners.

The government has won a crucial vote in Parliament on plans to limit annual increases in working-age benefits to 1% for the next three years.
MPs rejected a Labour bid to block the proposals by 328 votes to 262 after five hours of heated debate.
But four Liberal Democrat MPs joined Labour in voting against the proposals.
Labour argues that millions of low-income families will be worse off but ministers say benefits should not be going up at a faster rate than wages.
Benefits have historically risen in line with inflation and, without any change, would have been due to go up by 2.2% in April.
But the government says that with public sector pay rises capped at 1%, a similar limit should apply to working-age benefits such as jobseeker's allowance, employment and support allowance and income support as well as elements of working tax credits and child tax credit.
In a message on Twitter, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Commons vote to limit benefit rises to 1% while pay is only rising at 1% is fair. Labour have the wrong priorities."
The Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable said the welfare budget could not be "insulated" from spending cuts that were needed to rebalance the public finances.
Benefit recipients, he suggested, had done "relatively well" in recent years in comparison to working people on low incomes, many of whom who have seen their wages frozen and incomes fall in real terms.
"It seemed fair to us to distribute some of this pain in a more equitable way," he told BBC News.
Four Lib Dem MPs – Sarah Teather, David Ward, Julian Huppert and John Leech – voted against the government while Charles Kennedy and Andrew George abstained on the second reading of the legislation needed to implement the three-year cap.

The debate has been portrayed as an argument over "skivers versus strivers". But others might say it was a debate about the nature of the welfare state."

A number of other MPs – including ministers Norman Baker and Lynne Featherstone and former cabinet minister Chris Huhne, did not take part in the vote.
Mr Leech, the MP for Manchester Withington, urged ministers to "take stock" and rethink the cap – saying it was unfair to equate a 1% limit on benefits worth less than £100 a week with a 1% pay rise for someone on a salary of £25,000 a year.
And Mr Kennedy, a former Lib Dem leader, tweeted that he was "looking now to work with like-minded Lib Dems to amend the bill in its later stages".
Legislation needed to implement the cap for 2013-2016 must be approved by the Commons and the Lords.
By approving the proposals at second reading on Tuesday by 324 votes to 268, MPs have ensured they come a step closer to becoming law.
While backing the changes, Mr Cable criticised the language used by some Conservatives in the debate over welfare, in which supporters of the cap have sought to ally themselves with "strivers" against those unwilling to work, describing it as "appalling stuff".
Labour has accused the government of trying to pit unemployed people against the low-paid while former Foreign Secretary David Miliband, speaking in the Commons, called the proposals "rancid".
Shadow work and pensions secretary Liam Byrne said welfare spending had exceeded government forecasts by £14bn and ministers were opting to try and fill the hole by penalising working families rather than asking the wealthiest in society to pay more.
An "impact assessment" of the proposals published by the government suggested single parents would be most affected by the cap – losing £5 a week or about £250 over the three year period.
The majority of working age households in receipt of state support are likely be an average of £3 a week worse off.

Centrex, the common name of the Central Police Training and Development Authority (CPTDA), was established under Part 4 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, and was the primary means of police training in England and Wales. It was based at Bramshill House, formerly known as the Police Staff College, Bramshill. Centrex had the responsibility for many aspects of police training and development. There had been a move away from running Police Training Centres to running police trainee/initial probationer courses in-house under the auspices of Centrex. Centrex was replaced by the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) on 1 April 2007.
Centrex was responsible for overseeing the design and delivery of probationer training, investigators training and other key areas. Centrex was also responsible for evaluating police training to see if it actually works. Centrex also set the national police promotion exams, probationer development tests and advised on the assessment of recruits.
Centrex was staffed by a mixture of non-police officers (civil servants) and seconded police officers. Centrex had five main Foundation Training sites at Ashford, Kent, Bruche, St Dials in Cwmbran, Ryton-on-Dunsmore and Aykley Heads in Durham.
Centrex was formerly known as National Police Training (NPT).
From 1 April 2007, the functions of Centrex and other bodies were merged into the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA). The NPIA works in partnership with forces and policing bodies to improve the way they work across many areas of policing.

Recycling production at a quarry in Eversley will increase by five times.
Waste management company R Collard has been given permission to boost production at Warren Heath Recycling Facility site in The Welsh Drive.
The gravel and mineral plant was given the thumbs up by Hampshire County Council's regulatory committee. MP Sir Gerald Howarth will officially mark the expansion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 7.
The changes will mean that up to 250,000 tonnes of construction, demolition and excavation waste can be processed each year, instead of the previous limit of 50,000 tonnes.
Eversley Parish Council expressed reservations about the expansion and councillors' worries about increased traffic remain.
Philip Todd, chairman of the parish council, said: "All vehicles travelling north into Berkshire will have to come into Eversley, so it will affect residents.
"Whether the vehicles go through The Street or Bramshill, these roads are not suitable for heavy high goods vehicles."
He said that a five-fold increase in heavy goods vehicles associated with this recycling operation would impact on the 'quality of life of residents' due to the noise of traffic, safety of pedestrians and impact on conservation areas and listed buildings.
"The council needs to find suitable sites for recycling. Somebody had to suffer, so unfortunately it is us."
Fellow parish councillor Chris Young echoed Cllr Todd's opinion.
He said: "I am a little bit disappointed as it will bring in more traffic. It is a concern for us and as a result we have approached R Collard to see if they are prepared to support the 30mph speed limit through the village.
"If we can get them on our side, it will hopefully keep speeds down in Eversley."
R Collard, established 17 years ago by Robert Collard, has developed as a multidiscipline business, offering demolition, remediation and waste management solutions for contractors and property developers.
Hampshire needs to provide 30 million tonnes of material by 2030 to meet the sand and gravel requirement of 1.56m tonnes per year.
Any future applications for development is now determined on the basis of the policies within the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan, which was adopted in October last year.
Despite objections, the Warren Heath Recycling Facility was considered by the county council as a suitable site to help meet this target.
In a report by Katherine Snell, on behalf of county council planning, she said: "Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan makes provision for development if the nature of the development requires an isolated location in the countryside.
"As the site requires a large amount of land and the scale and nature of the waste processes would not be appropriate near houses or other sensitive receptors, it is considered that the countryside location is acceptable."
A number of conditions were attached to the approval given last week – no NGVs are allowed to enter or leave the site and no plant or machinery is allowed be operated except between 7.30am and 6pm Monday to Friday and 7.30am and 1pm on Saturday.
No work is allowed to take place on Sundays or recognised public holidays.
A spokesman for R Collard said the firm was 'very pleased' to have got permission, adding: "This enables us to continue our huge investment in the latest and most environmentally friendly plant and helps us to become a market leader in innovative waste recycling of secondary aggregates."

Little-known Graeme Swann put in a superb all-round performance to help England pull off a tense two-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the third one-day international here on Sunday.
The off-spinner grabbed four wickets in a disciplined spell and then made a crucial 25 as England achieved the revised target of 164 in a game reduced to 48 overs a side due to rain to gain a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
England were tottering at 107-7 on a difficult pitch before Swann added 40 for the eighth wicket with Stuart Broad (20 not out) to help his side win with seven balls to spare.
Swann, playing only his fourth one-dayer since making his debut in 2000, was named man of the match.
"Credit goes to all the boys. It was a big challenge batting under lights after losing the toss," said England captain Paul Collingwood.
"Broad has already scored vital runs for us and Swann showed a cool head. But we haven't won the series yet," he added.
Paceman Farveez Maharoof grabbed three early wickets and veteran left-arm spinner Sanath Jayasuriya took two wickets to raise Sri Lanka's hopes of victory, but Swann held his nerve under pressure on a slow pitch.
Maharoof threatened to upstage fine efforts from Swann (4-34) and left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom (3-19) when he wrecked England's top order by removing Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell and Phil Mustard in his lively opening spell.
Jayasuriya then dismissed Collingwood (32) and Owais Shah (19) just when the pair looked like restoring England's fortunes with a 47-run stand for the fifth wicket.
But Swann dashed Sri Lanka's hopes in a vital stand with Broad, who finished the match with a four and a two off fast bowler Lasith Malinga. Broad had earlier taken two wickets.
"We made a lot of mistakes while batting. We did not even bat our full quota of 48 overs. I am disappointed with the way we batted in the last two matches," said Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene.
"I think a total of 200-225 would have been good. Only (Tillakaratne) Dilshan batted really well under pressure. We have to make sure we don't repeat our mistakes in the remaining two games."
Dilshan was the only Sri Lankan to defy the England attack as he top-scored with a gutsy 70, just one day after being dropped from the squad for next month's tour of Australia.
He hit six fours in his 84-ball knock for his first half-century in 15 matches.
Swann earlier built on the efforts of Sidebottom and paceman Broad (2-26) to restrict the hosts to a modest total.
Sidebottom and Broad jolted Sri Lanka with four early wickets before Swann kept pressure in the middle overs.
Sri Lanka struggled to score freely against England's pace-spin combination after electing to bat. They lost openers Upul Tharanga and Jayasuriya in Sidebottom's opening spell before Broad struck in quick succession.
Broad took a wicket with his first delivery when he had Jayawardene (two) caught by Collingwood at point and then had Kumar Sangakkara (nine) caught behind.
Sangakkara "walked" even though wicket-keeper Mustard and the bowler initially had not appealed.
England's lead could prove to be decisive as rain threatens to play spoilsport at Colombo, venue for the next two matches on Wednesday and Saturday.

Britain sour over Kiwi win
Page Tools
Scheduling and refereeing came under fire after New Zealand moved to the top of rugby league's Tri-Nations tournament last night with a comfortable win over Great Britain.
The Kiwis made unnecessarily hard work of their 42-26 victory in front of 15,568 fans at Loftus Road, leading 18-2 after 24 minutes but allowing Britain to come within four points following halftime.
The result means the British will almost certainly have to beat champions Australia twice to make the November 26 final. An all antipodean decider would be a nightmare for promoters.
Great Britain prop Stuart Fielden claimed forcing the home team to go into the tournament 'cold' against opposition with two Tests' practise was unfair, while coach Brian Noble said his team was disadvantaged by the 'dominant tackle' rule in vogue Down Under and enforced by Kiwi ref Glen Black.
"Each year, we keep getting asked to start behind," Bradford's Fielden said.
"It's like getting asked to start behind Michael Johnson by three metres, isn't it?
"The shout has got to go out: we need to be on an even keel to compete in this first game.
"It's not sour grapes, it's not excuses. We need to learn, rather than just think 'let's get some money out of this'. We need to be smart and try and plan better."
Noble said he would be contacting tournament officials this week about the amount of holding down permitted by Black, who refereed his own country because Australia refuse to play under him.
"We played all season over here with far quicker ruck speed than that," he told AAP.
"I don't know if these are the rules of the competition. We'll stick four or five in ourselves if the rucks are going to be that slow.
"I've got to talk to the officials - definitely."
The big Kiwi contingent in the crowd was buoyed by tries to fullback Brent Webb and winger Manu Vatuvei in the opening four minutes with Vatuvei unlucky to be denied another by video referee Bob Connolly four minutes later.
Wing Jake Webster, 22 yesterday, got a share of the spoils in the 24th minute and any score looked possible, before centre-cum-second rower Paul Johnson streaked away for Britain's first touchdown.
Nevertheless, at 24-8 the Kiwis were in control at halftime and their coach, Brian McClennan, sent his team out early for drills during the break in a bizarre ploy intended to offset the affects of their traditional second half jitters.
It didn't work.
Tries to centre Keith Senior and another to Bradford's Johnson made it 24-20 by the 48th minute.
At 30-26 with 12 minutes to go, New Zealand hooker Motu Tony pulled off a thunderous hit on Britain' Lee Gilmour and it seemed to awake the tourists, who finished the Test with a two-try flourish.
The players formed a guard of honour at fulltime for skipper Ruben Wiki, who made a world record 47th Test appearance, and halfback Stacey Jones who was outstanding in what he insists will be his final international appearance.
Jones, whose wife Rachelle is due to give birth to the couple's first son next month, again ruled out playing in the Tri-Nations final at Old Trafford.
"I can quash that rumour right now," he said. "It's not true."
Kiwis second rower David Solomona was reported for a dangerous throw on Britain prop Stuart Fielden in the first minute. The incident will be reviewed by a video committee on Monday.
"I know I did lift him so I'm just going to have to wait and see," Wakefield's Solomona said.

text: I am working on buying a desert car to use for parts for my Caddy restoration. It is a complete rust free car but sunbaked and not worth restoring. Exactly what I have been looking for. My question is, if I pull the frame from this parts car and restore it while I drive my Caddy and come resto time, pull the body, get all the rust fixed and lower it onto the the other, albeit restored frame, is it still the same car? The reason I ask is I hate the vin swapping and rebodying that is going on in the classic car hobby, not to mention this car is a piece of my family's history so I am restoring it, but I want it to be the same car when it is done, not a car that looks like the car that I started with. Does this make sense to you guys?

Hi, Can anyone help. I have a standard wooden summer house to which I have had a walk through extension built (another 3 sided shed) I have just bought a massive air conditioner freestanding in order to cool the place as its red hot. It has been the first day of using it tofday and doesn`t appear to be making much difference at all. Can anyone tell me why?
Way too many variables...
Are you certain it was installed properly?
Is it functioning the way it should?
Is the house insulated?
Where are you located?
What are you trying to cool, the addition?
How big is the room
How big is the AC?
Does the rest of the summer house have AC?

A Montana state lawmaker is asking that he be paid in gold coins because of his lack of faith in the U.S. dollar amid a rising deficit.
Jerry O'Neil, a Republican just reelected in his northern Montana district, says his constituents told him he was not honoring his duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution, which O'Neil and Gold Standard supporters say requires the government to print money backed by gold.
"I believe that if you take a look at the Constitution, that's what it says," he told POLITICO. "I think we've gotten a tremendously long way from it."
So he wrote a letter to the state Legislature asking to be paid his public salary in gold and stating: "It is very likely the bottom will fall out from under the U.S. dollar. Only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value."

Unlike the digital nature of games themselves, the arcade cabinet has weight. It takes up space. It catches the eye from across the room. Not hidden away in basements or nested directories, it protrudes into the real world. Both historical reference and mobile gallery for our nascent art form, a Torontron challenges you to stand up and approach it, to engage with it, to do your best in front of friends and strangers: to play in public.
Inspired by MAME cabinet makers, the first Torontron was released in November 2009. It was cited as inspiration for the Winnitron, released in Winnipeg about a year later, which in turn went on to spawn an international arcade network. There now are active indie arcade cabs in the Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand, Italy, New York, Australia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Shanghai, Austin, and Oakland. If you know of other active cabinets please drop us a line!
There's a world map of the Spread of the Indie Arcade Cabinet.
The Torontron cabinets were engineered by Jph Wacheski (who has written a how-to), and the current deployment officer is Adam Axbey.
The project is produced by Jim Munroe.

Are all Big Block 727's the same? I found a good deal on a 727 that came out of a truck with a 400 (late '70's...) and would be looking to put it into my 1970 Challenger. Will this work? It would be a shame to spend the money and find out I wasted it!
Thanks for the help,
The tail shaft and housing are not the same. The pick up trans doesn't have a slip yoke type shaft and has a shorter housing.
Thanks for the info. I've gotta say that in the couple of months that I've been reading the discussions here, you respond to allmost every one. It really helps out when us MOPAR fans have people like you and Mad Mike to talk to. Thanks again for always having time for the "dumb" questions!!
Steve "challengerguy" Bruce
Wrong, not all trucks have the shortie 727. I have two long shaft 727's that came out of a 77, and 78 dodge 1/2 ton pick up. It measure the same as a b,e,c body 727's. The super cabs have a shortie, my 86 has a shortie. Visually look. Don't assume.
dear challengerguy,
the transmision will work with your challenger as long as you have an 383-440 engine in it. i my self have a 440 and 727 tranny from an 1969 power wagon that im putting in my '72 dodge charger.The difference between my 727 and yours is all mid 70's and up 727's came as a lock up style. so if you get it rebuilt i do believe they can take that feature out(i think it helps with tranny slipage, not really sure.) but if they cant take it out or if you build it yourself make sure the valvebody and torque converter is for a lock up style 727.
