So it finally happened, after over three and a half years of playing WoW. My account got hacked. On Monday morning. I don't how: I keep my password secure; I ran a virus/malware scan on my computer, and it came back clean. None of my other online accounts/logins have been affected.
They stole all my gold on at least two realms, and deleted all my characters off one of the realms including my two level-80 toons. I promptly reset my password and put in a ticket to Blizzard GMs both in-game and out. They reset my password (again), but still (as of Thursday) have not restored my characters, much less their stuff. I'm withholding judgment to see if they restore the characters with their epic, heirloom items, etc. to my satisfaction, but this may be the end of my relationship with Blizzard.

|A piece of my art journal... using list making to explore myself
|Planner Pad got turned into an art journal!
Artists create spreads in their journals beautiful enough to frame. I wasn't sure if that was something I wanted to do; private art making didn't speak to me. I love to share my art. Moreover, I couldn't see myself writing all over a piece of my art.
|List the words that touch your soul, a page for you!
Then I got a Planner Pad this summer. I got the planner as a way to get myself to focus and organize myself. Something us creatives have a hard time doing. The planner has a month view to write appointments as well as week views to make lists. I found myself turning to the pad to write lists but not necessarily in the spaces that were intended for that day. That evolved into putting gesso and paint over old to-do lists and starting from scratch. I even caught myself stamping words like "inventory", "ideas" and "goals." In order to find the month views more quickly, I bordered each month with decorative washi tape. Somehow, without my realizing it, I had created an art journal. The journal may not be like the other artists' journals. You won't see me creating pages that are frame worthy; I still
What words touch your soul?

The campaign includes national press ads and direct mail leaflets to professionals such as Trading Standards officers and police in licensing roles.
Compliance with the Portman Group's Code of Practice on the Naming, Packaging & Promotion of Alcoholic Drinks is compulsory for all UK producers. Over the past decade it has been used to remove 70 drinks from sale.
A further 1,560 products and promotions have been scrutinised before launch with hundreds of them amended.
Portman chief executive David Poley said: "The code's effectiveness was recognised recently by KPMG in its review of industry standards and the code was named among the International Harm Reduction Association's 50 leading global initiatives."
He added: "We want to be certain that all producers are meeting the code's high standards. Consumers can help us achieve our goal by complaining about any irresponsible marketing that has crept under our radar."
Jack Law, chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, added: "It is completely unacceptable for alcohol to be promoted in a way which glamourises drinking, encourages excessive drinking, or appeals to young people. "

A book that you wish more people would have read
Previously: A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven't
Today's choice is not a novel so much but a memoir again. I've read this last year around the same time, maybe it was already December but that's close enough. What I'm referring to is Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi.
First of all, this book was written by Portia herself, not some paid writer she told her story but she wrote it herself and she did a great job which shows she is much more then Ellen's wife and a TV actress. I actually knew her first, before I learnt who Ellen is and even that both of them are married because Portia starred on Ally McBeal which I watched a lot when I was younger and it still was on TV.
This book tells Portia's story of how she became anorexic and got bulimia, nearly killed herself and overcame her disease. I would like to say that it all started with her getting the role on Ally McBeal but that would be a lie since it started a long time before and just hit a high point while she was on that show. Portia was a kid-model and thus had to watch her weight. But she also liked to comfort herself with food and as she got booked more and more, there wasn't enough time to get the weight off fast enough, so she started throwing up and doing extreme dieting.
She struggled with this disease for a LOT of years and after she got cast on Ally it took a turn for the worse. She was really crazy back then, only thinking about how much she ate, what she ate and how much she exercised. A big problem for her was that she was a closeted lesbian, she was terrified that someone in Hollywood found out about her secret and would expose it. We're talking about the late 90s early 2000s here. There were not a lot of openly gay people in the business let alone gay characters on TV. Even Ellen's sitcom got unceremoniously cut from TV after she came out in 'The Puppy Episode'. Ellen lost her career until she made her amazing comeback to where she is now, so coming out was not an option for this australian actress that just got started in America.
Portia writes from her perspective – the one of the sick person and it is disturbing but also extremely moving. Who hasn't thought about their weight, wanted to be thinner, change the way their body looked? I know I did but thankfully I was always too lazy to diet. This book is for every one who has ever been on a diet because it shows you where a harmless diet could lead you which is why this is my pick for a book you wish more people would have read. Everyone should read this, mothers, daughters, fathers and sons. Anorexia and bulimia kill people and it is a vicious disease that is not easy to overcome.
In Portia's case, her love for Ellen overcame her fear of coming out as a lesbian. In a way, love healed her. She had battled most of her disease before they got together but finding the love of her life did certainly help seal the deal.
I cannot advertise this book enough because it is a brave move to put your story out there for everyone to read it like this. I truly admire that. Also, you cannot be a member of the L club and not be a fan of Ellen and Portia because they rock!
Next: A character you can relate to the most

With the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and I was both sobered and renewed by the way the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) remembered the eight people it lost during the attack on the Pentagon in a simple but eloquent ceremony at the National Maritime Intelligence Center (NMIC). What impressed me was the palpable sense of mission at ONI driven by personal loses that is motivating my shipmates at Naval Intelligence to both punish those who attacked us on 9/11 and to protect our nation's flank from a deadly disruptive maritime attack. Given what I know about the rest of the IC I don't believe that ONI is unique in the IC with its sense of mission for protecting our security, but rather emblematic of a community that is doing a difficult job as best it can. Having been a part Naval Intelligence that wore down and wore out the Soviet naval strategic threat to the free world, I drove away from Suitland feeling not just connected to this current generation of intelligence professionals, but confident that that the security of our nation is in good hands.
Picking up on what I encountered at ONI, I agree with Freed Zakaria's early September NEWSWEEK article that as result of America's massive response to 9/11, including a 250% increase in intelligence spending, that we have successfully minimized Al Qaeda's capabilities to organize and deliver a spectacular attack though we have not muted Al Qaeda's pernicious intentions to kill Americans or to destroy our nation. Because of this, reasonable people can now disagree about whether it is necessary it to continue to assert military force in Afghanistan and whether $75 billion is too little or too much for a democracy to spend on intelligence. This is a good place to be, but it comes with costs as new issues and threats have morphed from 9/11, including:
Ø Defining the balance between security and civil liberty
Ø The security of our cyber infra-structure
Ø Pakistan as a failed Moslem state with nuclear weapons
Ø The continuing debt crisis
Since 9/11 the nation has engaged in a yet unresolved debate between civil liberties and security with the elected leadership reflecting the views of their constituents of wanting both in equal measure. But as documented by a 9/11 Commission report released in September, Al Qaeda is now turning to people with some type of US person status to evade detection and surveillance by the US Intelligence Community. In its original 2004 report, the 9/11 Commission warned that "the wall" between intelligence agencies and law enforcement contributed to Al Qaeda's attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon being successful. In theory, the wall has been torn down; however, the lack of crosstalk between the IC (emails to a radical Inman in Yemen) and Army criminal investigators in the case of the Fort Hood shooter makes Governor Kean's point that the US is ill prepared to identify and stop "home grown terrorism." Before proceeding into constitutionally uncharted areas of surveillance on US persons, it is, of course, reasonable for the IC to expect the Congress to express the will of the American people on the balance they want between security and civil liberties. Unfortunately, this important question has become a partisan political issue resulting in debate and posturing, but no effective public policy to enhance the security of the American people.
This leads naturally to a consideration of what is the role of the IC in cyberspace where there is a documented threat to both the individual well being of US citizens as well as to the nation's infrastructure. Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn in his seminal article Defending a New Domain: The Pentagon's Cyberstrategy (http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/66552/william-j-lynn-iii/defending-a-new-domain), which appears in the September/October edition of Foreign Affairs, reminds us that it is difficult to ascertain the nationality let alone the identity of bad actors in cyberspace. He goes on to observe that because of the nature of Information Technology (IT) the barriers to entry for cyberspace are relatively low and offensive capabilities will almost always be ahead of defensive ones. Given these conditions it should be apparent that in order to conduct effective intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) in cyberspace the IC is going to need policy relief from collecting on US persons. To be clear, Cyberspace epitomizes the unaddressed policy and legal issues associated with the convergence of domestic and foreign threats to the security of the United States that manifested itself on 9/11.
Deputy Secretary Lynn goes on to express his concerns about how ineffective traditional means of diplomatic, economic, or military deterrence are in cyberspace, but how effective would they be against Pakistan as a failed state that lost control of its nuclear weapons with its indigenous population of Al Qaeda radicals? The monsoonal floods in Pakistan that are straining the central government's ability to respond to its citizen's basic needs make this more than an academic question. In late September Osama bin Laden posted video chastising Muslim countries for not coming more quickly and generously to the aid of the Pakistani people. David Ignatius reports from Pakistan that flood victims there are more aware of US drone attacks in their country than they are that US helicopters are delivering food in the disaster area. Should Pakistan become a failed state unable to provide basic government services for its citizens, what is disconcerting is that keeping track of nuclear weapons in a failed state is not something the IC is well versed in (recall Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union). Moreover, if we understood Al Qaeda's patterns of operation in Pakistan we would have captured or killed bin Laden by now. Given that we understand that Al Qaeda and its affiliates use the internet as its C4ISR backbone, and that 80 percent of internet traffic travels through servers based in the US, the IC again encounters the convergence of domestic and foreign intelligence issue in protecting America from "loose nukes."
Throughout the response to 9/11, the US has been following an ill conceived economic policy of "guns and butter" by borrowing the money to fight lengthy wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while bulking up the IC and increasing entitlements. The sheer size of the national debt as it approaches a 100% of annual Gross National Product (GNP) means that the neither the President, the Congress, nor the Federal Reserve has any effective options for responding to economic or national security perturbations. In fact, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen is on record saying that the size of the national debt is in fact a matter of national security. Understanding that continued top line growth experienced since FY 2004 is ending, Secretary Gates has told the Department of Defense to find $100 billion dollars (conservatively 15% of its annual budget) in savings over the next five years that can be reinvested for meeting military needs. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Jim Clapper has quietly issued a similar directive to the IC and supports Gates' zero based review of Military Intelligence due on 01 November.
The good news is that since 9/11, despite great expense, the US has severely weakened Al Qaeda and driven its infrastructure into the Federally Administered (no pretense of government!) Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan along the Afghan border. The bad news is that ensconced in the FATA, Al Qaeda can both devise and execute cyber attacks against friendly governments if not the US all while working to turn Pakistan into a failed nuclear state. Ironically it was a long expensive war in Afghanistan coupled with spending to keep pace with US strategic forces that literally broke the bank in Moscow. To deal with this emerging threats discussed here, the United States will need to borrow money it doesn't have, choose to make economic sacrifices, or use the intelligence, military, diplomatic, and economic capabilities it has more efficiently and adroitly.
That's what I; what do think?

I was delighted to join in on the fun of meeting New Hampshire author Suzi Higley and her friend Finnegan at the Dover Public Library on Monday, December 7th, at 7 pm because I can't resist a feel-good story about dogs who find their forever home nor can I resist meeting a dog who "wrote" about his quest to become the mayor of Portsmouth entitled Finnegan for Mayor!
Suzi's companion picture book, The Adventures of Finnegan Begin!, describes her chance meeting with Finnegan while she was volunteering as a dog walker at a shelter. As with most adoption stories, Suzi wasn't sure if she had the room for one more dog because she had two at home so she offered to foster him instead but he bonded with her and the pack so quickly that she couldn't part with him.
If you would like to learn more about the adventures of Suzi and Finnegan these delightful books can be found at Barnes and Noble , Amazon, and Piscataqua Press!

Do Your Hobby at Work
By Marty Nemko
More often than you might think, you can incorporate your hobby into your job. Jan incorporates her photography hobby into her interior design job by hanging before-and-after photos on her office walls. A salesman at the Edelweiss jewelry store in Berkeley, California plays the guitar when business is slow-it passes the time while attracting customers. Way back when I was a teacher, I felt out of place with the mostly-female faculty. In the break room, conversation often centered around such matters as Cuisinarts and redecorating, not high on my interest list. My hobby is breeding roses. One day, I brought a bouquet into the teacher's room to the oohs and ahhs of the faculty. From then on, I brought in a fresh bouquet each week. Before long, I developed a reputation as the school romantic and became a favorite of the teachers and the principal.What can you do today?
Can you think of a way of incorporating a current or previous hobby into your worklife?

|Man Without Qualities
America's most trusted source for news and information.
"The truth is not a crystal that can be slipped into one's pocket, but an endless current into which one falls headlong."
Robert Musil
Tuesday, October 08, 2002
The F.A.Z. reports:
Journalists last week received their first opportunity to inspect the site where an Early Bronze Age disc with gold foil ornaments - perhaps the oldest cosmological picture ever found - was abruptly ripped from the earth three years ago by local looters.
The archaeological sensation was unearthed in a forest near the village of Nebra in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt. The site was located after one of a band of shady treasure hunters confessed where the artifacts had been unearthed. Seven persons are currently involved in a court case surrounding the illegal excavation and selling of treasures that belong to the eastern state.
The disc is around 30 centimeters in diameter and weighs approximately 2 kilograms. It is thought to be around 3,600 years old.
Actually, it's in large part a sad story.

Anton Chekhov's The Duel
Anton Chekhov died in 1904 just as the age of cinema was being born. Had he lived later, I 'm sure he would have embraced the new medium. This provincial doctor, who for much of his life was writing as a hobby, published mostly short stories, and later wrote plays for the Moscow Art Theatre. His plays have never been out of fashion, and, unsurprisingly, there have been hundreds of adaptations for cinema and television.
Chekhov eschewed melodrama, believing that we must see human behaviour as it is.
This gift for close observation is I think the secret of his enduring attraction to filmmakers. I'm no Chekhov expert, but there have been some entrancing screen adaptations. One of my favourites is Vanya on 42nd Street directed by Louis Malle: an artfully filmed play-reading which skips the fuss of costume drama and captures the actors rehearsing in a rundown old theatre. David Mamet worked with Malle on the script: Julieanne Moore plays Yelena, and Wallace Shawn Vanya. There's even an Australian adaptation of Uncle Vanya called Country Life...not bad at all.
Anton Chekhov's The Duel is adapted from one of Chekhov's few novellas. It's the story of a libertarian who runs away to the countryside with his young mistress to start a new life.
Laevsky is a middle grade civil servant chafing for freedom. Nadya leaves an elderly husband to come with him. But instead of the freedom they sought, they have wound up in a seaside town where they have sunk into indolence. The relationship has already turned sour when we meet them: Laevsky is passing the time drinking and gambling with some cronies; Nadya is dependent on one older woman for friendship in a town where many disapprove of them. They owe money, and Laevsky shows no inclination to find work, thinking instead to leave his mistress and go back to St Petersberg.
Into the setting comes a biologist, Von Koren, who is caught up with the ideas of Darwin, or more precisely social Darwinism. He disapproves of them both, and in exasperation proclaims Laevsky a parasite on the social order.
Tempers fray in the sweltering heat, and the town doctor, Samoylenko, is caught in the middle. He's being pressured by Laevsky for a loan to finance his escape: while Von Koren decrees he will never speak to the doctor again if he abets the plan.
This handsome film, with a screenplay by Mary Bing, is directed by Dover Koshashvili, an Israeli of Georgian background. Shot in high summer with the gorgeous Croatian coast doubling for the Black Sea, Paul Sarossy's cinematography gives both the lushness of high summer, and the limitations of a small society in a seaside resort.
And the performances are absolutely faithful to nuance. Fiona Glascott's Nadya, a milky, luminous near-beauty, has the audacity of a spoiled, pretty young woman, while Andrew Scott's Laevsky, petulant and self-lacerating by turns, tries everyone's patience. All that remains between him and Nadya is a game of sexual provocation, a game she plays to divert his growing anger.
Tobias Menzies' Von Koren at first seems the more sympathetic character: there is a time in the film when we are all longing for him to challenge Laevsky and put him out of his misery.
But Chekhov has something far more subtle in mind. There are some striking, quite shocking events before the famous Duel occurs, and our perceptions of Laevsky begin to change, our sympathies swing.
No-one comes out of these events well. The doctor, Samoylenko, is amiable but weak; Nadya's friend censorious; Von Koren rigid and lacking compassion; other men press their advantage on a young woman they see as compromised.
It's a fine screen adaptation this: not for everyone, I admit, but give it patience and it will richly reward you.

East Coast Kinetics Inc. was founded to restore the health, performance, and longevity of individuals through exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.
Our team, and our methods, are guided by 3 fundamental principles: Movement, Nutrition, and Recovery. All are deeply connected to each other, and equal in their contribution.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, interested in becoming more fit, or focused on improving athletic/tactical performance, our qualified team and our approaches can get you there.
Movement: Is essential. Western society has become sedentary, causing a myriad of serious metabolic (i.e., insulin resistance, diabetes) cardiovascular (i.e., high blood pressure, atherosclerosis) and musculoskeletal (i.e., low back pain, and neck pain) conditions. Our team of Kinesiologists will perform thorough and holistic assessments, developing a program specific to your needs, to get you back on your feet.
Nutrition: Plays a central role in our health. Natural and nutrient dense foods (i.e., organic fish, meat, chicken, nuts, oils, fruits, and vegetables) and adequate hydration are essential in promoting higher energy levels, lean body mass, and improved performance. Out of convenience, society has moved away from these staples in favor of processed foods and sugar-based beverages. However, these convenient foods are very inconvenient for your health and longevity. Our Kinesiologists will provide nutritional coaching, helping you make healthier dietary choices.
Recovery: Do you feel tired, sore, and worn out? Most people do. Our team can help you improve your sleeping hygiene, teach relaxation techniques, and provide methods to loosen up sore muscles from work, life, and training sessions. We also have an outside network of trusted and reputable professionals (i.e., physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, registered massage therapists) to help with other stressors that may be hindering your progress and goals. We believe in client-centered care, and we are here to help you, help yourself.
Mission Statement
To restore our clients' health, performance, and longevity through exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.
Our conduct will be governed by the ethics, standards, and guidelines set forth in our field, to uphold and protect our professionalism, credibility, and well being of our clients.

To fill the day Chairman Mao goes on long walks. He buys a gold-tipped cane from a vendor stand, walks leaning heavily on it. He kicks at errant pieces of gravel, imagining the stones are the stars of the universe. He reads The Collected Works of Charles Dickens till he falls asleep in the study each night, head drooping on fleshy chest.
Chairman Mao is diagnosed with the diseases of old age. The doctor says he should take care of himself, informs him that youthful poverty plays havoc on the system. To assuage worries about diabetes and blood pressure and weight gain, Mao begins to take thirty blue pills a day to blot out the memories of having been useful. "Better off dead," he tells his wife. "Better off dead."
When his wife dies, Mao is invited to an office party. "It will cheer him up," the new manager tells the staff. To celebrate Mao's return they prepare his favourite dish–hong shao rou–and decorate the office with banners saying, 'Welcome Back Chairman Mao'. But Mao appears disgruntled, dissatisfied. He castigates the new manager on changes under his tenure. He lectures on bookkeeping techniques, on cost benefit analyses, on labour reconciliation methods. He suggests promotions and censures, then sulks away home in the company car when he is gently rebuffed. "What use are my years of accumulated wisdom?" he asks the chauffeur wistfully, as the car rumbles over the city's potholed roads. The chauffeur smiles indulgently. The elderly are difficult to answer.
Living alone, Chairman Mao begins to cultivate chrysanthemums in a quiet garden set away from the road. He tells his wife about the red flowers, and carefully weeds away the yellow and white ones. When she suggests that it is time he grows soursweet plum, he agrees bitterly.
The morticians arrive to take Mao away. He is aware of their granite faces, their unchanging expressions. But he complains that he is not quite ready, that he is grown thinner from having been forgotten, has stopped eating on the doctor's orders, has much left to offer the world. But the morticians do not listen. They follow their orders, they wheel him away, Chairman Mao, old and forgotten, now soaking in a tub of brine.

Who Gives Me Unclean Thoughts
Does satan and his demons put unclean thoughts in ones head or can unclean thoughts be created by our own subconscence from having a sinful nature?

Does it matter? What matters to me is that I have the Holy Spirit of God living in me, and He is more powerful than Satan, the demons, or my subconscience. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.

Becca, I had the same question as a young Believer. 'How could I have horrible thoughts even in the middle of a Bible study?!' Bruce5656 showed us that it's just our own sinful flesh/worldly influences. Paul himself battled with this (see Romans 7) probably with fewer sinful influences than we have today! Spending more time in the Word than the world trains our minds, just as habitually doing the right thing keeps us from sinning against others. But the war continues unitl we find true rest in heaven.

We all have unclean thoughts---that is our nature as humans. As soon as the thought appears in your mind, you should mentally erase it, as if it were on a chalkboard. The same with thoughts of irrational fear and worry. As Barney always said, "Nip it in the bud!" Then pray and ask God to replace them with spiritual thoughts.
on 9/8/05
Satan can influence your thoughts, but NOT internally (directly in your head).
The primary source of temptation is OUR OWN LUSTS (desires).James 1:14, "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed."
on 9/8/05
The secondary source EXTERNAL, through the eyes, ears etc. When we say "Satan tempts" I do not think it is Satan personally. 1 John 4:4, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." After all, he is one creature and there are many many millions Christians.
on 9/8/05
When Christians express the concept that Satan (personally) has been on their case I wonder how it is that of all the millions of Christians, that THEY rate personal attention from Satan, one on one.
Consider that, during the Millennial Reign of Christ, while Satan is bound in the pit and unable to influence humanity directly, people will still rebel against Christ. Who will they blame it on then?
on 9/8/05
Satan's INFLUENCE, however, is EVERWHERE in this wicked world. Jesus referred to him as the prince of this world on several occasions. After all these millennia of Satans influence on earth (starting in Eden when he tempted Eve face to face EXTERNALY) society is polluted with secularism, humanism, hedonism, and many other isms. In short this is a sinful, wicked world.

No wonder we are instructed: Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise`, think on these things."

Yes I totaly agree, with You who ever You are.
You're so right it's really kind of scary.
on 9/8/05
The human flesh is sinful. The flesh always prefers the easy, and pleasureable things. That is why God in 1 Timothy 2:15 tells to study. Acts 17:11, the people at Berea studied the scriptures daily. Only by constant study of the scriptures, and allowing Christ to come into you and work through you, can you learn to with stand the sinful fleah. God has given us the power to over come, and Christ has given us the freedom.
on 9/8/05
You are in the world, but not of the world.
Most of us have learned things all our lives that are "unclean." We can't really help it that much, were not only surrounded but bombarded by shameless perversion and evil.
Your mind is part of the battle of the flesh.
Do a word search on "mind" in the New Testament, check out all the references.
The Devil may have a bit of influence but ultimately control is ours.

Estancia coach Robert Castellano knew it was going to come down to this.
Coming into the season, he saw the schedule and circled today's date on his calendar.
This afternoon the Estancia boys soccer team will face off against rival Godinez at Centennial Park in Santa Ana, and at stake is more than bragging rights. The game could determine who wins the Orange Coast League title.
"I knew it was going to be Godinez and us," Castellano said.
With two games remaining in the Orange Coast League schedule, there are three teams vying for the league championship.
Godinez sits in first place with a 5-0-3 record while Estancia (5-1-2) is second and Laguna Beach (5-2-1) is third.
All three teams are within a point of each other and each has a legitimate shot at the league championship.
If Godinez wins its remaining games against Estancia and Saddleback, the Grizzlies will win their second consecutive league title.
If Estancia beats Godinez and wins Thursday's match against Calvary Chapel, the Eagles will claim their first title since Castellano took over the program in the 2009-10 season.
And if Godinez or Estancia both fail to win or tie their remaining games after playing each other, Laguna Beach could sneak in to capture the league championship with victories over Calvary Chapel, which hasn't won all season, and one-win Costa Mesa.
With the three teams so close in the standings, no team can afford a loss this week, Castellano said.
"You're either first or third," he said.
Castellano expects Laguna Beach to win out, so a victory against Godinez is imperative.
"This is the biggest regular-season game we've had in the last five years," Castellano said. "We haven't won league since 2009-10. The kids are pumped up. If we win against Godinez and Calvary Chapel and win league, it's a lot smoother ride in the playoffs. We'll probably host a home playoff game."
Godinez and Estancia last met Jan. 22 in a back-and-forth game that ended in a 2-2 tie.
Castellano said his team should have won that game, and for the rematch he plans to prepare a different strategy.
"We're not going to give them too much respect like last time," he said. "We talked them up too much. The kids were kind of timid but after they scored and we scored, we woke up and played with them and should have beaten them. This time around, we'll be more aggressive and put more pressure on the midfield and backs.
"I know it's going to be tough to beat them at their place. But we're hungry for this game."

-Review by Nic Brown-
heard that a new film from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Project
Green Light would be showing as the midnight movie at The Kentucky
Theater in
The film, directed by
John Gulager,
is the story of a mismatched group of people trapped in a honky-tonk
bar. What trapped them? Ravenously hungry maneating monsters with
razor sharp teeth and claws, not exactly what you'd expect in
"Feast" uses many stock horror film building blocks, from stereotype character models to the "besieged group looking to escape" model. Surprisingly this does not detract from the film. In fact, Gulager and writers Marcus Dunstan & Patrick Melton, skillfully play on the character archetypes to help lead viewers one way then hit them with unexpected plot-turns. In addition to the story twists, Gulager uses quick, chaotic action shots to highlight the attacks. These creatures are fast and aggressive and this plays out in the cinematography as Gulager shifts the perspective to make you feel like you are in the middle of the turmoil. There is plenty of blood and gore to keep fans of the genre happy, and the frenzied camera action intensifies it as flashes of grizzly scenes splatter the viewer and then are gone, burned in your mind like a camera flash. Overall this effect works well, but at times it does make following the action difficult when the viewer can't tell who just got their head ripped off!
Project Green Light isn't known for its contributions to the horror film genre, but "Feast" is a worthy entry into the field. From what I've seen in "Feast" I'd say we can expect more gruesomely good things to come from the creative team behind this one. So for a really good blue-plate special of horror, put "Feast" on your menu, but bring the antacid, this one will go down rough! I give "Feast" an eight out of ten.

Ok so here's the verdict the biscuits were dogalicious. That's the verdict from Nellie and Jess who happily 'woofed' down 3 each. They are so easy to make. Give your pooch a treat!!!
Homemade Aniseed Dog Biscuits
- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/2 cup Oatmeal fine or medium ground
- 4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 4 tbsp Love Flavour Aniseed Powder
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl to form a dough.
Roll out on a cool surface and using cutters form shapes
Place on a baking tray and bake on a medium heat for 30 minutes
Remove from tray and leave to cool.
Dogs love the smell of aniseed.
Here at Love Flavour we do love our pets. A recent customer posted a review to say she had bought 'Love Flavour Aniseed Ground'. Her intended use ..... to make homemade dog biscuits for her precious pooch.
Our intrigue got the better of us so this weekend our Love Flavour teams pooches Nellie Jessie and Lola are in for a treat. We are making baked aniseed dog treats.
Apparently aniseed to dogs is like catnip to cats ..... the 'girls' will let you have their verdict on Monday!!!!!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a reposting of our review from the original run of "Something is Rotten" in 2006. The ticket information at the bottom pertains to the current production.
Imagine a kid, 16, sitting in a theater – a live theater – guffawing, thoroughly engaged, leaping up at curtain call. And it's Shakespeare, even. Kind of.
That Laertes is played by a remote-controlled toy bulldozer may have had something to do with it. Or Ophelia as a live goldfish (wait, can a goldfish drown?). Or Polonius as a Teddy Ruxpin doll, his "to thine own self be true" speech recorded on the cassette in his back. Or the gravedigger sampling Justin Timberlake's "I'm Bringing Sexy Back." Or Horatio as a marionette with Irish actor Geoffrey Toone's face taped over his.
OK, maybe the 16-year-old missed that one. I know I did.
That doesn't begin to explain the appeal of Buntport's 16th original creation, "Something is Rotten," featuring "Hamlet" – as a sock puppet.
There have been plenty of stabs at dumbing down the Bard ("The Complete Shakespeare Abridged"). "Rotten" is silly, but hardly dumb. Just the opposite.
"Rotten" is a ripe introduction to Shakespeare. But what that kid won't even realize is that "Rotten" is a pretty accessible introduction to Samuel Beckett as well.
Three inexplicably, inextricably tied pals, only one an actor, have been compelled to perform "Hamlet." By whom? The ghost of one's long-lost sock, of course. No other context or explanation, no sense of time, place or greater purpose. Buntport doesn't play by those rules. It's absurdly Beckett.
Julius (Evan Weissman) enters preening and shy, a hint of an actor begging to break out from within him. Harold (Erik Edborg) is dressed in black, stern but trepidatious. He's a '50s-looking combination of Michael Douglas in "Falling Down" and Dieter ("Vould you like to touch my monkey?"). Sprawled between them is George (Brian Colonna) an intense "thee-a-tah" actor and narcoleptic.
With a trunk, a few cases and a coat rack, they embark on a fearful demonstration of the power and humor in transformative theater.
Harold, for example, portrays Claudius and Gertrude at once. As the foul king, he has an oversized mask over his head. To become Gertrude, he flings the mask back to reveal his wigged face. Simultaneously he unclasps a bowling bag, unfurling the queen's dress before him. Brilliant.
The three oddballs bicker and banter as they go about their existential task, never questioning the necessity of its completion. But only George takes the actual art of the presentation all that seriously. His sleepy bouts allow his pals to skip ahead.
Julius is insistent on just two things: the safety of his beloved fish, and that the famous "play within the play" be a cutting from "Death of a Salesman." As you can imagine, that slightly mucks up eliciting a guilty reaction from the king.
Does "Rotten" mean anything intellectuallly? Who knows. But the writing is absurdly clever, the performances sublime.
The pre-show amusement is an enormous treat; Hannah Duggan performs an endearing new-age folkster's intro to Shakespeare. Duggan is funny from her first word to her final eyebrow twitch – better than anything "SNL" has done in a decade.
It was obvious the grandparents nearby loved "Rotten" as much as that 16 year old.
Imagine again: Buntport fans new and old walking out buzzing. Just another night at Buntport, where the only comfort zone here is entering a creative danger zone.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Sym is a symbolic computation application by
Sym allows the definition of user defined algebraic laws that can be used to transform and solve algebra problems.
Sym compiles with the free Visual Studio 2010 C# Express. It should work with any of the full versions of Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012.
Consider the following transform:
Read this as a times b transforms to b times a. I use the ~ symbol to indicate a transformation.
a and b can be entire functions, e.g:
(2+3)*8 transforms to 8*(2+3) when transformed by the transform above.
Sym can read and use transforms that use the above syntax, e.g:
I've tested over 50 transforms so far. They are used by Sym to simplify and isolate variables.
There is more info on transformations
Calculus and vector transforms are coming soon, both have been tested to a limited extent but I haven't uploaded them yet.
Sym uses c# notation to define mathematical equations, multiplication is symbolized by the '*' sign, etc. The notation is similar to the notation used by many computer programming languages. You have to use a multiplication sign everywhere there
is a multiplication. If you are not familiar with the notation used by C# to write mathematical expressions, you can Google C# for further information.
All of the symbolic computation code is contained in a class library that is distinct from the UI code so that you can integrate it into your projects.
Sym is built on top of Microsoft's
Roslyn. Roslyn is a c# compiler service. This puts the Sym code in a good position to be used to refactor and generate code in addition to performing the usual symbolic computation functions.

Thank You Mr. Yilma Kebede.
Every day and night action's of tplf is satanic. The clique kills and oozes a crocodile tear. It commits crime every day and propagates a misinforming News. Its nature is divisive and only tplf believes in that principle. Who doesn't except satan?
I wish you write an article about the satanism/paganism tplf endorsed and accepted by its followers. Every action of tplf is satanic. Its main symbol is clearly shown on Ethiopian flag. The central emblem of paganism symbol pasted on the natural rainbow Ethiopian Flag proves that tplf is satanic without any question.

text: Home > Medical > Eye Health > News 31 March 2010 Bionic eye in sight A bionic eye that will be implanted into Australia's first recipient of the technology was unveiled recently. 0 A bionic eye that will be implanted into Australia's first recipient of the technology was unveiled recently. The prototype bionic eye, developed by BVA researchers at the University of New South Wales and unveiled today at the BVA consortium's official launch at the University of Melbourne, will deliver improved quality of life for patients suffering from degenerative vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. The device, which is currently undergoing testing, consists of a miniature camera mounted on glasses that captures visual input, transforming it into electrical signals that directly stimulate surviving neurons in the retina. The implant will enable recipients to perceive points of light in the visual field that the brain can then reconstruct into an image. Life-changing device Research Director of Bionic Vision Australia and Professor of Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Professor Anthony Burkitt says the device will deliver life-changing vision for recipients. "We anticipate that this retinal implant will provide users with increased mobility and independence, and that future versions of the implant will eventually allow recipients to recognise faces and read large print," he says. Bionic Vision Australia Chairman, Professor Emeritus David Penington AC says the BVA team's outstanding expertise will be the key to delivering their ambitious goal of providing bionic vision within the next five years. "This is an exciting moment in our venture. The team's success is based on our world class multi-disciplinary approach which uses vision clinicians, retinal surgeons, neuroscientists, biomedical and electrical engineers from across the nation," he says. Restore sense of vision BVA is a partnership of world-leading Australian research institutions collaborating to develop an advanced retinal prosthesis, or bionic eye, to restore the sense of vision to people with degenerative or inherited retinal disease. The partners of Bionic Vision Australia are the University of Melbourne, the University of New South Wales, the Bionic Ear Institute, the Centre for Eye Research Australia and NICTA. In December 2009 Bionic Vision Australia (BVA) was awarded $42 million from the Federal Government. Professor Penington says the grant, provided over four years, will take the team to the point where commercial development of an implant at the back of the eye, responding to wireless transmission of vision, will become a reality. Retinitis Pigmentosa sufferer Leighton Boyd says this exciting development gives him hope that he will once again be able to see the faces of his loved ones. - (EurekAlert!, March 2010) What to Read Next {{item.title}} Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Comments have been closed for this article.

Income Tax department authorities may soon approach the Swiss government to obtain fresh information on the investments and finances of arms dealer Abhishek Verma.
New Delhi: Income Tax department authorities may soon approach the Swiss government to obtain fresh information on the investments and finances of arms dealer Abhishek Verma for its probe against him and his associates for alleged tax evasion.
The IT may approach the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to activate the provisions of the revised Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) with the alpine nation after Verma was recently arrested by CBI for allegedly receiving money from a Swiss arms company to delist them from the companies blacklisted by Indian government.
Under the DTAA, the IT can obtain banking and other tax related details against an individual for launching criminal prosecution under Indian laws.
The tax department is looking to probe a recent complaint filed by Verma in a local court alleging that his US-based business partner C Edmonds Allen, an American attorney, and Delhi-based Arjun Arora had duped him of Rs 55 crore, which was to be paid to him in lieu of his consultancy services to them.
The IT`s criminal investigation directorate has recently participated in the searches on Verma`s premises conducted by the CBI as it feels that this Rs 55 crore could be unaccounted and illegal.
The department feels that it can gather details related to Verma`s sources of income and assets by approaching Switzerland, as it has been probing his financial dealings in the Naval war room leak case, also under the scanner for money laundering charges by the Enforcement Directorate.
The latest probe by the IT is in the same case as that of the CBI--regarding transactions of funds between Ganton India and Ganton USA, which are claimed to be Verma`s front companies and about his business relationships with estranged associate C Edmon Allen who has levelled series of allegations against him with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
If the IT unravels that these incomes have been made and hidden by Verma from authorities, the cases of both the CBI and ED in probing these defence deals would be strengthened, sources privy to the development said.
CBI had booked Verma in a fresh case alleging that he took USD 530,000 from Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (RAD) on the promise that he would use his influence to stall blacklisting proceedings initiated by the government against it after the Ordnance Factory Board scam had surfaced.
Verma and his wife were sent to seven days CBI custody by a local court yesterday.

Kennedy Space Center – On The Road To Florida
Have you ever seen something that caught you by surprise but then realized that you actually did know about it but had just forgotten? Some might consider this a sign of age, but I prefer to think that I just need to have some more personal RAM installed… We arrived in Cocoa Beach on Saturday, found the RV park and got set up. Next was an excursion to Publix, my go-to place in Florida, to pick up a few things. The rest of the afternoon was partially spent lolling (I like that word) in the pool. The park was not at all crowded and we had the pool to ourselves. After nearly an hour, though, we could see approaching young children in the near distance and grabbed our shoes and towels and headed back to the RV. Not a fan of loud kids splashing everything...Read More
Tucson – Pima Air Museum Redux
For those of you who are readers of this site, you may remember when we visited the Pima Air and Space Museum on our last trip to Tucson a year ago. Yes, you know who you are. Ellen was having some leg issues then and I had to push her around in a loaner wheelchair outside. Because the ground wasn't conducive to the narrow wheels, I couldn't see nearly what I wanted of the many aircraft stationed around outside on part of the eighty acres of the facility. We did, however, get to look around at the displays inside the several large hangars there. So I was determined to revisit the museum and stroll the grounds and see some of the many aircraft I missed last time. Ellen's leg is much better this year so it was a go. Actually, I wanted to...Read More
Tucson 2013 – Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show
The normally blue skies in Tucson, Arizona, had turned gray by the time we arrived at our first venue of the annual Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show, a group of tents arranged in a gravelly vacant lot on Oracle Street near downtown. The sign declared everything to be of Moroccan origin and my first thought was, 'How did they lug all this stuff here from Morocco?' We are talking rocks, you know. It was later suggested that their wares stay in this country and travel to various shows in the southwest so it's not like they have to shlep it back and forth from north Africa all the time. We next visited a hotel, the Hotel Tucson City Center, which was entirely taken over by vendors, both inside, and out around the pool. This was a much more...Read More
Still-Life Masterpieces at NC Museum of Art
File this under the heading of things to do when out-of-town company visits in the Raleigh area. You know how you hate to just sit around the house or go shopping? This is an inexpensive (relatively) way to get out and burn a couple of hours and maybe tack on lunch, the way we did recently. The exhibition, on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, features a bunch of artists I've never heard of plus a few that I have. In the interest of full disclosure, I was not an art major in college, although I did take an Art Appreciation class one quarter. That's probably why I've heard of Georgia O'Keefe and so was interested in her painting titled Sunflower from Maggie, painted in 1937. I also am familiar with (well, I've heard of)...Read More
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
I'd been meaning to attend this exhibit since it was announced, and I finally got the chance when out-of-town visitors arrived for a week's stay with us recently. It's ironic how the need to entertain company can provide the impetus to finally do the things you've been meaning to do anyway. Or at least in my world it is. The museum web site describes the exhibition this way: "On April 15, 1912, Titanic, the world's largest ship of its time, sank after colliding with an iceberg, claiming more than 1,500 lives and shaking the world's confidence in the infallibility of modern technology. One hundred years later, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, which showcases 200 artifacts retrieved from the wreck site of Titanic, arrives at the...Read More
Carolinas Aviation Museum Is Worth A Visit
Parked on the ramp as we walked outside the main hangar of the Carolinas Aviation Museum at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport was a rare piece of 1950s aviation history, a restored Douglas Aircraft DC-7B painted in Eastern Airlines livery. Based out of Opa Locka, Florida, the restored four engine aircraft was the last prop airliner developed by Douglas Aircraft before the advent of jet airliners. It had been flown to Charlotte in November 2011 by retired US Airways pilot Sully Sullenberger and his Flight 1549 First Officer Jeff Skiles. But, on takeoff to return to Florida, the aircraft lost oil pressure in one engine and had to return to Charlotte where it still sits, an extra bonus to visiting the museum, waiting for parts and repairs. As you walk...Read More

In anticipation of the highly anticipated event, click through our photo gallery above that highlights all of the new "Game of Thrones" character posters, from Arya Stark to Jon Snow to Tyrion Lannister.
Asked if she'd like Yara to stake a claim on the Iron Throne or overcome the last White Walker, she said, "I've got a frightful feeling that the White Walkers are going to take over in Season 8". Then, a shift in tone, and a swift massacre - without actual violence.
"Game of Thrones" fans aren't the only ones reeling over the show's impending end.
"It's been nearly a high-class soap, with different families, moving around, geographically", said Cunningham, aka Ser Davos Seaworth.
As Cersei told Ned back on season one, "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die", and no one is safe.
The 21-year-old Game of Thrones actress was spotted arriving at LAX Airport on Thursday (July 13) in Los Angeles.
"I think Thrones is a unique concoction in terms of visual value, a vast range of characters, (author) George R.R. Martin's extraordinary imagined universe and (producers) so brilliant at evolving it". Before, she was a victim in many ways. Jon and Sansa dealt with Ramsay in the Battle of the Bastards (who killed his own villainous father earlier in the season).
Sansa's change in wardrobe also speaks of the dim path she takes in the installment. As observed in GOT press interviews that this paper participated in, one question proved to be the most enduring: The possibility of an actor's character being vanquished and not making it - "alive and well" - to the next season. Stark deaths are always the most shocking and it would be frightful to see Sansa die after everything she has gone through. The end of the last season FINALLY saw Sansa get some control back, she's taken back Winterfell and has been reunited with her half brother Jon Snow. There's also the fact that Kit Harington and Turner have been teasing a storyline centering on Sansa taking a more prominent role in the show. "I think they both know what the other is up to".
Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Aidan Gillen) - During the show's six years it is revealed that Peytr Baelish, nicknamed "Littlefinger", has had a hand in many the main plot lines, including rescuing Sansa Stark, framing Tyrion Lannister and the deaths of King Joffery Baratheon and Lord Jon Arryn.
Clapton said that fans will see a different Sansa when Season 7 opens. Obviously I've got no idea, but they seem to be gaining strength and power and tenacity.
Things are getting complicated in Sansa's world.

An Alternative to Heavy Ballasts
Installing a solar rooftop is an investment – in both your roof as well as the property that it protects. To meet safety and integrity standards, rooftop solar panels and racking systems must be securely anchored for wind resistance.
Typically, solar panels and racking systems have been held in place by using heavy ballasts or an affixed anchoring system. However, the National Roofing Contractors Association has reported that over 70% of commercial rooftops in the U.S. cannot support the weight of ballasted solar. Many buildings have suffered irreparable damage due to excessive ballast loads and many arrays have been damaged or destroyed during storm conditions due to miscalculated designs.
The U-Anchor provides a lighter, smarter, and more efficient alternative to heavy ballasted systems. Using our products, many complete solar racking arrays can weigh less than 3 pounds per square foot, reducing engineering requirements, associated fees, and the time required to complete the sales process.
In addition to a ballast-free installation, systems can be installed as a hybrid system. Industry standards commonly allow our attachments to substitute ballasts using a pound-for-pound exchange – meaning that for each U-Anchor used, approximately 1,200 pounds of ballast could be removed.
Solar integrators and EPCs are now able to increase sales opportunities by 300% by offering an installation option that is accepted by all roofing manufacturers, in addition to traditional ballasts, thereby improving the potential for a greater number of projects and generating greater profits.
Make the Safe Choice
U-Anchor attachments protect roofs and investments. To learn more about U-Anchors, visit our about page or view our products. We're happy to answer any questions you have and help you get started on your next project.

Approximately 500 million years ago, a phenomenon known as the Cambrian Explosion was in full swing here on planet Earth. After billions of years of relative stasis in which life consisted of little beyond bacteria, plankton, and algae, the fossil record of the Cambrian period shows a sudden explosion of diversity. In just 40 million tumultuous years—a geologic eye blink—most of the major groups of animals, or <I>phyla</I>, that exist today appeared for the first time.
If you haven't shopped at Costco in a while, you might not know that the giant membership-warehouse chain now accounts for a sizeable chunk of U.S. retail HDTV sales. Most stores prominently display an assortment of HD-capable TVs, ranging from 32-inch direct-view TVs to 70-inch rear-projectors. But pride of place belongs to the sexy (and highly profitable) flat-panel LCD and PDP (plasma) displays, which are mounted up high and carefully positioned to be visible to shoppers from most of the sales floor. (The new industry buzzword for plasma displays, which you'll find in the remainder of this report, is PDP, for plasma display panel.—Ed.)
A month or two ago, I was on my way home from work when my wife called and asked me to swing by Costco to pick up a pound of our favorite Newhall Blend coffee beans. "We're out," she informed me. "And this time, please don't forget to grind 'em before you leave the store!"
If Star Trek's Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott was handed one of today's ultra-thin flat-panel HDTVs and warned, "You have eight minutes to get decent sound quality out this thing or the Enterprise is going to burn up in the atmosphere!," he might take one look at it and once again utter those immortal words: "I canna change the laws of physics!"
One of the great things about the audio business is that it's still possible for new companies to appear seemingly out of nowhere and—thanks to a rare combination of creativity, skill, and luck—manage to carve out a comfortable niche for themselves. The rise of Zvox Audio is a case in point.

We need to talk about Bill Clinton.
As you might recall, on October 9, 2016, the night of the second Presidential debate, Republican nominee Donald Trump held a pre-debate panel including three women accusing former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault, citing Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as a facilitator in this behavior. Immediately following, a slew of articles began popping up online defending the former President and 'debunking' the accusations.
I get it. We have a lot at stake in this election, and this is our former president we're talking about. Our instinct is to protect our own. For those reasons, it's easy to dismiss the allegations against Bill Clinton as a desperate attempt by the Trump camp to distract from the recently released recordings of his incriminating, sexually charged language against women, and from his lack of knowledge on the issues facing our nation in general. In terms of the intentions behind this press conference, I would be inclined to agree. However, Democrats have made a dangerous mistake in responding to these claims; in our attempts to delegitimize Donald Trump, we have risked delegitimizing sexual assault altogether.
I can already hear my peers objecting in my head as I write out this argument. I even had a conversation with one of the said peers the night of the panel and debate.
"They've been proven untrue. Check out the Vox article I shared," He said. Later he would state, "There's a big difference in Bill having consensual sex and Trump talking about and abusing women."
For some of the most die-hard Clinton fans, like my aforementioned peer, it's impossible to believe they could ever do any wrong. Still, the glaring contradiction exists, that in any other circumstance, our party would proudly advocate that alleged victims have the right to be believed, and at the very least, have their claims listened to. We just don't follow the same logic when those allegations hit home, and that ambiguity can have some adverse consequences on the legitimacy of our sexual assault policies moving forward.
For the purpose of putting these claims into perspective, let's walk this back to a national scale. On one hand, the Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that, "On average, an estimated 211,200 rapes and sexual assaults went unreported to police each year between 2006 and 2010." [1] Another source, the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network [RAINN], claims that only 344 of every 1,000 rapes are even reported to the police. [2] Of course, these statistics must be taken with a grain of salt-- the nature of the question is what has gone unreported, so these numbers have the potential to be even larger than what is estimated.
Regardless, these estimates evoke a very poignant concern; why don't women report their assaults? PBS's "No Safe Place" study provides potential reasons for this low report rate, stating, "...most rapes and sexual assaults go unreported, because of shame, fear and deep-seated cultural notions that the woman is somehow to blame." [3] As the society that has created such 'deep-seated cultural notions', we must hold ourselves accountable for the fact that women don't feel safe pursuing justice against violations of their bodily autonomy. And no matter how uncomfortable the process is, we need to re-evaluate our behavior, figure out what we're doing wrong, and readjust to create a more empowering environment for women to speak up.
Don't get me wrong-- there's countless things wrong with the panel that Donald Trump held a few weeks back. To regard this panel as a genuine attempt to empower victims of sexual assault would be a lapse of judgement. The spectacle only occurred after video [4] demonstrating his own shameful rhetoric regarding women, and the actions likely accompanying it, was publicized. Attempting to soften the reputational blow by comparing the severity of accusations does not relieve Mr. Trump of the responsibility for his own words. Moreover, the fact that Trump has reduced sexual assault allegations to a campaign tool is an insult to the experience of victims everywhere.
As an additional clarification, I'm not asking for a witch hunt against Bill Clinton, and I'm not asking for the country to abandon the concept of "innocent until proven guilty". I'm also not purporting to have the answers to how our party should deal with these allegations. But the fact of the matter is that we can't appear genuine in our efforts to fight sexual assault when we sweep allegations against Democrats under the rug-- the other 656 of 1000 victims who didn't report their assault will see us doing so, and will lose confidence in our capacity and commitment towards defending their stories.
