They downvote non black and non indian women for saying they are either...
Attracted to, like and date black or indian men and/or only date black or indian men. When I see women on here who post and say they like those men and/or only date those men , they get bombarded with downvotes from males and females on GaG but If one says that white guys are the best or I'm only attracted to , mostly attracted to white guys they get a massive amount of upvotes and if they do get any downvotes, they never outweigh the upvotes like when its blacks or indians.

I have been blocked and blocked a few racist guys already on here. One of the questions was "Is this man attractive?" and it was a photo of this actor. I said, yes I think he is and the guy down voted and blocked me after leaving a comment. It's one thing to have preferences, but why leave malicious comments and get down voted for an opinion that has no effect on them? I wasn't attacking the individual ffs.00|00|0

it's funny how leigt preference has turned into racism.
Seriously, it's not racist to do so. Racist would be if you said that one race doesn't deserve anyone simply because of their race.
grow up a little, and grow a spine, and stop being so ploitically correct.11|00|1
You misunderstand completely. I'm just pointed out how if your "preference" is white men you're up voted like crazy, but if its like black or Indian men you're down voted like crazy. I wouldn't down vote anyone simply because they like a different race that's stupid and racist as hell. It doesn't have shit to do with trying to be politically correct.
This guy has very poor comprehension skills Asker.

During its restoration of the 168 Benjamin Latrobe designed sandstone cenotaphs, the National Park Service chose D/2 to do the cleaning.
D/2 has been used to clean thousands of monuments across the country, preserving our history for future generations.
More than 4 million people visit hallowed memorial each year. D/2 is used to keep its Yule Marble looking flawless.
D/2 is used by the VA to clean over 3.5 million headstones each year
The Heinrich Heine Memorial, also known as the Lorelei Fountain was designed and fabricated in Germany for erection in Dusseldorf. It ended up on the Grand Concourse in The Bronx in NYC where it was moved several times and heavily vandalized. In 1999 the Municipal Art Society raised funds for its restoration. D/2 Biological Solution was specified for its cleaning. Joan Berkowitz was the conservator and still gives the fountain a light D/2 maintenance spraying every other year.
A six-person preservation team with the National Park Service has been working its way around the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park giving its Civil War monuments a spring cleaning. The crew, which works out of Frederick, Md., and travels the country to clean monuments, will work at the park for about three months. The group uses the environment friendly cleaner D/2 to clean the structures.

Tomorrow is my 63rd birthday. Sixty-three is (in my estimation) a particularly laden birthday because it is seven nines – and seven and nine are important sacred numbers. There are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (there are also nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, if you use a different list), nine noble virtues from the ancient Norse, and seven deadly sins (important to know, if not to emulate). There are seven sacraments (if you are Roman Catholic; only two if you come from a Reformed tradition), the faithful make seven circuits of the Ka'ba in Mecca, and there are seven days of creation. All Baha'i temples have nine entrances, and there are nine basic Hindu beliefs…to name a few sevens and nines.
In the spirit of noting my manna moments, I am looking for the blessings and joys of all these sevens and nines, so that I don't feel over-whelmed by portent. It is working for the most part, I think.
Many years ago – more years ago than I am going to admit – my first husband started a tradition that I kept even after the marriage ended. On our birthdays, we would write a birthday alphabet. We could list as many things as we wanted under each letter before we stored the alphabet away with all those that had gone before. I almost always write mine right into the journal I am using so that I don't lose it between one year and the next…because I have a bad habit of filing precious things away in a safe place – so safe that I can never remember where it is and only stumble over it quite by mistake, often months after I really needed that precious thing.
Looking back over many years of these alphabets brings back special memories, and the tones of specific years. I will start this year's birthday alphabet tomorrow and work on it for a week or so. And I may notice even as I write that something that I barely observed when it happened, has become the first entry for a particular letter. Or that a quality of character I rarely consider in my daily life, is front and center this year, appearing in more than one place. Some years are whimsical and light-hearted, others are fraught with meaning. It is an intriguing exercise and I recommend it to you.
This year, in honor of the importance of 63, and because I mentioned that being accountable can help me grow, I set myself the task of recording and sharing 63 blessings (and one to grow on). You may want to spend an hour thinking of your own list of 32 or 47 or 51 or 28 or whatever number has some meaning for you. Here are mine. I didn't list people because that would cover the 63 many times over. This is not a carefully selected 63, not even (perhaps) the most important 63, just this 63…which is its own blessing because there are 63 x 63 x 63 more that I could mention. Here goes:
My breath, my fingers, my heartbeat, my legs and feet, my flexible spine, my sight, my hearing, my taste buds, my skin.
The courage to try new skills, the ability to understand new concepts, the urge to see new places, the joy of meeting new people, the challenge of hearing new opinions, the amazing possibilities of new knowledge, the delight of tasting new foods, waking up to a new day, learning a new dance.
The stone circles of Ireland and England, Chartres Cathedral, almost any garden anywhere, the Eiffel Tower, Skye, the Isles of Shoals, Moab, the Rockies at dawn, Mont St Michel.
Pie Jesu sung by Sarah Brightman, Con te Partiro sung by Andrea Boccelli and just about anyone he chooses, You Raise Me Up sung by Josh Groban, Unchained Melody sung by The Righteous Brothers, Pilgrim sung by Enya, any hymn at all sung with my daughter, Tree of Life by Audio Machine, any music that makes me want to clap or dance, the sound of my husband singing my daughter to sleep when she was a baby.
Books, antibiotics, refrigeration, anesthesia, telephones, computers, electricity, gravity, indoor plumbing.
The smell of sheets that have blown dry in the sun, the sound of rain on the roof, a cup of cocoa, bread fresh from the oven with unsalted butter, a glass of clean water, my husband's hug, fresh flowers by my bedside, people I love gathered around a table, falling asleep.
Learning to read, brushing my teeth, kneading bread, beginning a fiber art piece, doing yoga, seeing a wild fox, watching moonrise, making love, giving birth…
And just sitting still, breathing, not doing, just being.
May your new year (and Thursday was Rosh Hoshanah, so everyone just began a new year) be filled with blessings.

I've resisted posting about the election until now because I'm not a politician, I'm a novelist. I don't want to burden my readers with my personal opinions, generally, unless they're woven into my books. But this is such an important election, that I can't stay silent. If you don't want to hear my thoughts, feel free to ignore them.
We Christians are not here in a vacuum. We have a God-given responsibility to the world we live in. In America we have the rare privilege of having a say in our government, unlike other nations. That gives us all greater responsibility. If we believe that God judges nations based on their culture and choices–as we've seen over centuries in the past, not to mention in the Old Testament–then we are responsible to elect leaders who will take our country down paths that won't bring more judgment.
Millions of babies are murdered every year on our own soil, and if that won't bring God's judgment on our country, I don't know what will. I fear God and know that when that judgment comes, it's going to effect me and my children and my neighbors. I can choose to elect officials who will push back that line or hold it back as much as possible, or I can elect officials who have voted again and again that it's fine to stick scissors in a baby's head just before it's born, or let it die after it's born alive, for the convenience of the mother. Does this make me a one-issue voter? No, because I'm a news junkie, and there are many issues that matter to me. But a person's stand on abortion says a lot to me about what his judgment and wisdom. I trust our country's nuclear trigger to a person who values the lives of everyone more than a person who only values some.
I hope before we go to the polls, we'll each go down a list of the things we hold dear, the things that make our country great, the things that we believe with all our hearts, and then vote for the person who will fight for those things, or at least hold off the forces that threaten to beat those things down. And that goes for everyone on our ballots, not just the presidential candidates.

(Masterpieces of Fiction, Detective and Mystery Edition)
Eugène Sue was one of the most widely read and praised writers of his day, not only in France but also throughout Europe, England, and the United States. His work is no longer read, except for historical interest, because his lack of attention to style—which he believed was unimportant—and the length of his novels make excessive demands on the reader's patience. Yet his development as a writer traced an interesting course. At first, he wrote because literature was amusing and lucrative; later, he became increasingly serious about the importance of his work as a vehicle of social reform, a means to transform the consciousness of all classes. He believed that "if the rich only knew," they would act to correct the injustice and misery that existed in their society. Sue's early reputation was that of a dandy who wrote each new chapter only after putting on a fresh pair of yellow gloves. Most of his novels were first published in installments in the popular press; he drew a large readership for his early historical romances in the manner of Sir Walter Scott and for novels of maritime adventures that earned for him the title "the French Cooper." Plik et Plok (1831), Atar-Gull (1831; Atar Gull: A Nautical Tale, 1846), La Salamandre (1832; The Salamander, 1844), La Vigie de Koat-Vën (1833; The Temptation; Or, The Watch Tower of Koat-Vën, 1845), and La Courcaratcha (1832-1834) were early successes. These works, although not mystery stories, employed a fantastic realism like that of Charles Dickens, emphasizing the evil and bizarre side of human nature. Sue often investigated the relationship between good and evil, even in a novel of society such as Mathilde: Mémoires d'une jeune femme (1841; Matilda: Or, The Memoirs of a Young Woman, 1843), which explored one of his favorite themes, the ability of the wicked to manipulate the virtuous.
The Mysteries of Paris
There is no doubt that Sue's reputation as a mystery writer rests on his most famous work, The Mysteries of Paris. This novel, published in installments during 1842-1843, took France, Europe, and then the rest of the world by storm. It also makes clear Sue's strengths as a novelist: his ability to create numerous unforgettable characters, to create elaborate but interlocking narratives, and to fashion from so many individual stories a portrait of an entire society. He showed how all lives were interconnected by coincidence, concealed interests, and secrets hidden in the past. The novel was translated as it was being written. The word "mystery" caught the attention of readers; soon, many similarly titled works appeared. Every city had its "mysteries" as writers everywhere capitalized on the appeal of Sue's title.
The Mysteries of Paris was the first novel to use the criminal underworld of a modern urban city as its setting. Sue's dedication to realism turned his novel into an extensive catalog of the crimes and criminals existing in Paris at that time. Sue had read earlier novels presenting brief portrayals of criminal characters, as well as the nonfictional memoirs of François-Eugène Vidocq, former head of the Paris police. Sue, however, was the first writer to present a detailed study of the criminal world in all of its horror, ruthlessness, and poverty. His interest in the criminal class probably stemmed from an interest in poverty as the cause of crime and from the suggestion that he explore social diseases in a manner similar to that of a physician observing physical diseases. Sue was looking for a new subject for a novel, and his attention was drawn to a famous criminal trial of 1839, in which a gang of thieves and prostitutes was tried for the murder of several merchants. Clearly, the accused served as prototypes for Sue's characters, who lived in the same neighborhood, drank in the same taverns, spoke in the same criminal slang, and displayed the same matter-of-fact attitude toward their crimes. Sue warned his readers that they would enter regions as uncivilized and barbaric as the Indian-inhabited forests of North America. The Parisian savages were the former convicts, thieves, and murderers living hidden in the midst of a great city. The reader would "penetrate into horrible and unknown regions"; he would meet "hideous and frightening types, swarming in unclean sewers like reptiles in a swamp." The physical setting of the criminal neighborhood of Paris, "a labyrinth of hidden, narrow, and twisting streets," became a metaphor for the unfathomable secrets of the human soul. Sue used the word "mysteries" in this larger sense of the unknown; he used it in other titles also, but in this novel, the mysteries or secrets often were hidden crimes.
The novel's hero, Prince Rodolphe of Gerolstein, expiates his guilt by attempting to aid worthy individuals whose desperate circumstances might tempt them into crime or make them victims of unscrupulous men and women. He is a secret benefactor who shows how social consciousness and money could improve overall social conditions. To help those in distress, Rodolphe assumes a variety of disguises and gathers information via methods employed by modern operatives.
At the novel's beginning he is disguised as a...

Derry stands to reap £5m in just ten days as a result of its involvement in the Clipper race, the city council has said.
The city's entry in the race cost £1.9m with £1.2m of the bill being footed by Derry City Council out of £3.8m the local authority had committed to fund the City of Culture Programme.
Derry City Council Chief Executive Sharon O'Connor explained that the investment in Clipper 11-12 covered all activities including participation in the race, international marketing programme, community programme and even a ten-day race hosting event which will yield £5m return in investment for the city.
"The rationale for participating in the race and hosting the Clipper fleet was to achieve international profile of the city ahead of UK City of Culture 2013 and secure an international showcase event as part of NI2012," she told the 'Journal'.
She explained that Clipper 9-10 demonstrated a benefit of over $250m media value and the provision of a return on investment of 1:7 for participating partners. She added: "The city has modest legacy target for profile of £1m for city specific stories in local and international markets, a growing ex-pat database for creating reasons to visit the city in 2013 and a return on investment of £5m during the ten-day fleet hosting event."
Ms O'Connor said there is currently "significant interest" in the city as a location for business and tourism because of the 2013 City of Culture tag and NI2012 branding. She added: "Clipper 11-12 is one of the many opportunities to maximize this unique window of opportunity to connect internationally with a global audience for business, tourism and diaspora. With the Clipper event demonstrating a potential reach of 500 million people through media profile alone, it is an investment in sharing the city's new story in partnership with this international sailing event."
A council budget of £80,000 has also been made available for international trade events surrounding the Clipper race.
Ms O'Connor explained: "The city's ambition is to achieve the maximum media value ahead of City of Culture 2013 and make significant international connections. This will be achieved through organizing and participating in trade events in New York and Halifax. These events are supported by Invest Northern Ireland and facilitated in key international locations by Tourism Ireland. They also include opportunities for local companies to participate in the programme."
Last week a Derry delegation led by Ms O'Connor was in San Francisco to promote business and tourism links with the city.
The delegation also included Chair of Development Committee, Colr Martin Reilly and Digital Champion Mark Nagurski.
Colr Martin Reilly said: "This is our time to look for new ideas and initiatives with international partners."

I did a quick Google search and found several game titles with 'Scroll'. Several pre-dating the 1994 release of the first Elder Scrolls.
I suspect Bethesda will have troubles winning this one, but courts can be funny sometimes.
The study had 28 participants... and they were asked to remember species of aliens...
While this may be a sign that it's worth looking into the differences a font makes in learning, I'll wait until a bigger study comes out where participants were asked to read a more likely and involved subject matter like the history of the Ottoman Empire.
I have a feeling many participants will be less likely to read past the first chapter if it was written in Comic Sans.

DJ's reign finally and rightly came to an end last weekend, Paul Wilkinson went with him and Bully stepped up to support Stuart Gray. That brought team changes and a healthy change in attitude for the Leicester game, writes Steve Walmsley.
What we wanted to see above all was a fighting performance and we got it in bucketloads. Despite conceding a poor early goal, the team did not drop their heads and they pushed on to force Leicester back. The rousing reception at half-time was fully deserved.
The second half was mostly a rearguard action but the players worked so hard to hang on to the win. They all played their part but I would particularly pick out Loovens for a fine and calm organising contribution at the back, Coke, Lee and Maghoma worked their socks off in midfield and Wickham was excellent throughout.
It was a win to lift the spirits. The rest of the week has been dominated by the debate on who the new manager might be, with a particular focus on the merits or otherwise of Neil Warnock's candidacy.
We are unlikely to get Holloway so I would prefer Pressley or Rosler rather than someone from the questionable Championship managerial merry-go-ound.
But MM's wider issues with the future of the club may mean that a short-term appointment until May may be his favourite option. That's where Mr Warnock comes in.
My heart says no but my head understands why it might be a logical appointment; I would rather not see it but we need to avoid relegation to League One again.
Of course it could all be a smokescreen behind which MM carries out the real search, and we know that Warnock loves a good wind-up!
In the meantime, a repeat of the Tuesday performance against Forest would be fantastic.

Jimi Hendrix, 'Valleys of Neptune': New Music Preview
News of a new Jimi Hendrix album could be greeted by fans of the rock guitarist with understandable skepticism. Hendrix only released three studio albums during his lifetime, but more than ten have been issued under his name after his death. Fans want to hear his work, but they also want to see his legacy respected by only putting out material from the vaults that's worthy of his talent.
"Valleys of Neptune," the newest new Hendrix album, due out tomorrow, features twelve tracks that have never before been officially commercially available. Some of the songs are covers (such as a version of Elmore James' "Bleeding Heart" and an instrumental rendering of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love"), others are new takes on already-released songs (including alternate versions of "Fire" and "Hear My Train a Comin"). But the new album also features originals, including the title track, "Lullaby for the Summer," and "Ships Passing through the Night."
You can check out the music–and a painting by Hendrix–after the jump.

Ohio State redshirt freshman running back Mike Weber came to Columbus after the Buckeyes won the 2014 national championship. Former OSU running back, and current member of the Dallas Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott emerged as a star, and it was clear that the four-star recruit, Weber, was going to have to wait to become the featured back in coach Urban Meyer's offense.
Just one year later, Weber is quietly showing his potential as OSU's next great running back.
Originally committed to Michigan, then nearly decommitting from Meyer and OSU after former running backs coach Stan Drayton left for the Chicago Bears days after National Signing Day, Weber elected to hang tough and try to win the job in 2016.
Weber progressed over the spring and summer. Redshirt senior center Pat Elflein and redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett talked at length at Big Ten Media Days in July about Weber's maturity compared with a year ago. The two often worked out with Weber over the summer and noticed a new determination in the redshirt freshman.
"(A year) makes a big difference. I lost a lot of weight and I got a lot stronger, faster and smarter," Weber said after his first game as a starter against Bowling Green. "(Elliott) made sure he looked out for me. He saw potential in me and hopefully I make a lot of good plays for the team this year."
Last Saturday against Oklahoma, in Weber's first true road game, he displayed the maturity and the strength coaches and players were raving about.
Weber had his largest load of work against the Sooners, carrying the ball 18 times for 123 yards — good for an average of 6.8 yards-per-carry. Through three games now, Weber has 351 rushing yards and one touchdown. He ranks 13th in the NCAA in rushing yards and first in the Big Ten.
Weber said after the Oklahoma game that he feels comfortable and confident on the field.
"I actually learned a lot today … It was kind of fast. It was faster than what I expected," he said. "It was faster than Bowling Green, faster than Tulsa. I'm pretty used to it. It's just football at the end of the day."
Redshirting in 2015 after suffering a torn meniscus before the season began, Weber stood on the sidelines taking in the reality of his situation. But he decided to make the most of it and learn from Elliott every chance he could.
When Elliott was on the sidelines, Weber was right there learning from the would-be No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. Elliott played in a substantial amount of road and neutral-site games in his career at OSU — Michigan State, Michigan, Alabama and Oregon, just to name a few. So when it was Weber's turn to produce in a hostile, boisterous environment like Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium, Weber used a few mental notes he took from Elliott.
"Just sitting on the bench next to Zeke and him going back to the sideline saying this and that, I kind of learned that and kept it in my back pocket for when I started playing," Weber said. "And now it's working for me."
By comparison, Elliott didn't rush for 100 yards in a game until his fourth career start. The former Buckeye ran for 149 yards and two touchdowns in his first three starts.
Weber still has much to accomplish to be featured in conversation with the likes of Elliott, Eddie George, Archie Griffin and Carlos Hyde, but the redshirt freshman is making his statement early when he has the opportunity. With H-back Curtis Samuel as another player getting double-digit carries per game, Weber is bolstering OSU's offense heading into Big Ten play.

Southern California's weather is beautiful but sometimes it requires very careful wardrobe planning. From April till July, we probably will have chilly, overcast mornings, bright warm afternoons and occasional blistering hot days when we think summer has finally arrived. It's enough to drive a fashionista crazy with eternal question: What to wear?
So as a service to all My Life in Shoes devotees (and not-so-devotees), I offer my list of the five things you should buy, or if you already own them, you ought to wear now:
These burst on the scene a short while ago, skinny jeans with vertical stripes. Appearing mostly in this season's big black-and-white color combo, they are a real world way to channel the undulating striped gowns from Marc Jacobs' spring collection without breaking the bank. Hudson denim makes an adorable pair that runs nearly $200 in black and white and Tory Burch has some in navy and light blue, but I got mine at H&M for $20.
Wear them with: a mixed print tank in similar colors and a cool open-toe bootie; a solid color boxy blouse – red is a hot hue this year – and a pair of pointy pumps or simple drapey white T-shirt and flat sandals for weekends.
Tip: Add a statement necklace for drama (see below).
We said it before and we will say it again: Lower heels rule. The range of to-die-for lower (3 inches or shorter) to flat shoes out there is endless. Depending on what occasion you are dressing for, choose a pointy-toe half D'orsay with pretty details like the "Ivonne" from Ivanka Trump, any one of the pretty menswear-inspired oxfords out there (I am enamored with Cole Haan's "Gramercy" style in my favorite color combo of gray and yellow but the $200 price stops me. I would, however, consider the studded Bass "Benton" version for about half that price) or a classic flat sandal.
The one I like the best right now? Any one that includes an ankle cuff. Rebecca Minkoff's metallic "Bettina" flat (about $132 on Shopbop.com) would go with anything but I plan to pull a pair of Cole Haans – black with an ankle strap and grommets – from the back of my closet and wear them with ankle length pants, a sleeveless blouse and my favorite white tuxedo jacket for work.
Tip: Skip the black and nude and go for a white or colored shoe.
This is an odd choice for me because it isn't something I usually would wear, except the silhouette seems especially fresh right now. There are numerous styles from a work-appropriate black version by Calvin Klein at Macy's on sale for $54 to a khaki Max Mara version at Nordstrom for $375. I also spotted a cute chambray shirt dress at J. Crew for $118 that would look great with a leather belt and some of the aforementioned flat sandals or a pair of low wedges.
Tip: Remember that length on this style is important: too short and you look like you forgot your pants; too long and you look like Meryl Streep's character in "The Bridges of Madison County."
A spring coat is light in color and fabric, and I especially like a swingier, more minimal silhouette with three-quarter length sleeve to show off tan arms and bracelets. Add a cool print and I think they are probably the most ladylike garment out there. I am currently jonesing for one I saw at Zara in a pale yellow checkerboard print that looks like something from Marc Jacobs' spring collection for Louis Vuitton. At $100, it is the best must-have I have seen recently and well worth the investment. Wear it with rolled up jeans (maybe the striped ones?), a cute flat oxford-style shoe and ladylike top-handled bag.
Tip: Add Audrey Hepburn-worthy sunglasses for real impact.
Really, you could forget everything I have blathered on about up until now and just get one of these. A bold, you-must-notice-me necklace adds panache to a simple white shirt or a little black dress. You could put on your maxi dress or palazzo pants from the last few summers and update the look with a brass-and-turquoise Zara necklace for $30 or with one of the statement necklaces at C. Wonder in Newport Beach (my favorite is the Lucite circles bib necklace for $98). If that isn't to your liking, designer Kendra Scott will open a store Monday at Fashion Island. Look for one of her unique pieces in blue that you could wear forever.
Tip: Avoid rhinestone styles and opt for natural stones or fabrics; it looks cooler and more O.C.

Style and Technique
(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
"Miss Cynthie" is a prime example of the stylistic economy that earned for Fisher the admiration of his contemporaries during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's. Its tightly controlled plot, dynamic presentation of character, and deft use of literary devices are all evidence of the consummate artist at work. For example, the reader is intrigued by the way that Fisher develops the mystery surrounding the nature of Dave Tappen's employment. Miss Cynthie's expressed hopes for her grandson, the redcap's suggestive response, Dave's obvious wealth, and Miss Cynthie's distrust of the theater all contribute to the developing notion that Miss Cynthie will not be amused with her grandson's vocation.
Another element of style is the warm, good-natured humor that abounds—from Miss Cynthie's early insistence on carrying her umbrella to ward off snakes, even in the city, to the final scene that shows her tapping her foot and singing to the tune of the song she had taught her grandson as a child. Fisher's tone, while focusing on ways and manners of the folk, is neither condescending nor mean-spirited; rather, it is a tone of wonderment and appreciation—hallmarks of vintage Rudolph Fisher.

I try and I try but the joys of fish still elude me. People ask all the time have you tried fish recently, yes, I have and no, I still don't like it. I have tried it periodically and although it no longer makes me gag at both smell and taste, I can't tolerate much of it. Yes, I do get fresh fish, I just don't like it, what can I say?
I really wish I loved fish for all of its health benefits and its lower calorie profile, but I don't. I have tried Halibut, Cod, Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Tuna and Salmon and nope, I don't like any of them. And I love most shellfish making it even more odd. Lobsters, Crabs, Shrimp, Clams and Mussels all make me happy (oysters, squid and octopus disgust me and will never pass my lips again.)
So given that I like shellfish I figure that I can learn to like fish, or at least tolerate it enough to enjoy a meal of fish once a week, just once a week is the goal at the moment, is that really so hard?
This week Tacos Veracruz are on the menu so I plan to try Opa, if I can get it or halibut or sea bass if I cannot and a marinde my mother suggested. I plan to grill it then flake the fish for the tacos. I'll let you know how it goes.

Students Islamic organisation of India had organised a program "Shiksha Samvad" to discuss on the new education policy to be framed by central government at Srinivas College, Manglore.
Mr. Thouseef Madikeri, National Secretary of SIO India inaugurated the Program.
Speaking on the occasion, resource person Dr.NiranjanAradhya said, new national education policy should be framed based on the constitutional values i.e., Equality and justice rather on any political ideology. He expressed concern that still government has not implemented national curriculum framework properly in the country and also still there is lot of inequality in our education system because of privatization. He also condemned the process of collecting the suggestions for the new education policy from public which is not seriously followed and there is hardly any importance given to quality of education.
Mr. Reeny D'souza child rights activist, Dr.P.S Aithal, Pricipal, Srinivas Institute of Management Studies and were also present at the occasion.

We're always looking for ways to improve the return on investment that you've made in your web site. One of the critical areas is the selection of software to build and run your web site. When we evaluate software to use on your site, we ask, does the software program, package, or system:
- allow you to access your data and information freely, or does it lock you in to a proprietary vendor solution?
- support modification and customization, or is it a proprietary solution that only the vendor may modify, if at all?
- comply with industry-wide accepted standards?
We prefer software that, whenever possible, allows you free and unfettered access to your data, plus extensive customization, all while complying with well-established industry standards.
As it turns out, there's plenty of top-tier software available that meets these criteria. It's called open source software, because the code is open and accessible. Often, these open source software packages are also available at lower cost than their proprietary counterparts.
How low is the cost? Most of the time, it's free.
Here are some of our favorites that we use to build Web Sites That Work:
Web Site Hosting
- Web Server: Apache
- Server side scripting language: PHP
- Database: MySQL
- Content Management System: Joomla & WordPress
Web Site Development Tools
- Writing, Graphics, Spreadsheets (Office Software): OpenOffice and NeoOffice (Mac).
Internet Tools
- Browsers: Firefox

We use these tools all the time, and recommend that you give them a try as well. All of the software listed above is free, so you can download any package you are interested in and try it out on your computer to see if it works for your requirements.

In order to keep local gopher tortoises from being helped to death by well-intentioned but uninformed beach goers, St. Johns County has installed signs around some of its beaches to educate visitors about the animals.
Tara Dodson, the county's environmental supervisor, said the county has posted new signs at nine popular beach access points. The signs — 13 in all — were given to the county by the Florida Wildlife Federation.
The point of the signs is to help people understand what gopher tortoises are and that they live in the dunes. There have been multiple incidences in which people have seen the tortoises in the sand and decided to "save" them by carrying them to the water.
Yet tortoises are terrestrial animals not to be confused with sea turtles that come on land to lay their eggs.
Gopher tortoises are a Florida-protected species. They are known to frequent the beach and sometimes visit the water to regulate their body temperature or remove ticks.
"They (FWF) created the signs because lot of people who visit are not familiar (with tortoises)," Dodson said. "People will often mistake them for sea turtles and put the tortoise in the water."
That's the wrong thing to do since the tortoises don't swim. And it's even the wrong thing to do if beach goers encounter sea turtles on the beach or even marine mammals.
There is usually a reason that an air-breathing sea animal is stranded on land. They could be sick or injured or just exhausted. Forcing a beached animal back into the ocean without first contacting an animal expert could result in the animal's death.
"We run into that problem a lot," Dodson said.
Having the new signs should at least help educate people about the gopher tortoises. Dodson said it's always helpful to update signage at beach access points so that more people notice.
"I really thought the message on this one was a good, positive message," she said.
Sarah Gledhill, the FWF planning director, said in a release that the signs should help alleviate some confusion and keep tortoises safer.
"FWF saw a need to better educate our beach goers about co-exiting with gopher tortoises," Gledhill said. "We wanted to make the process as least burdensome as possible for beach managers. We crowd sourced the funds through our membership to design, produce and deliver the signage. We donated 50 signs along the east coast and have requests for more."

Packaged with adult entertainer Joanna Angel holding the bright pink cock ring that is intended to match her hair, you get to see just what you are purchasing.
The ring is adjustable by a set of sturdy snaps, which add to the punk look. The leather is soft, which is a blessing. The snaps are placed quite well. Each extension offers enough to have the ring secured but not too tight. The bullet is your standard bullet. It does come with a set of batteries, so we give The Stockroom a thumbs up for that.

I need one of those! Since they're no longer in production, I'm wondering if anyone can help on the sizing of them. I'm 5'1" and about 100lbs, so I'm not sure if this bag would look too big on me. I'm looking for a good sized every day bag. If anyone can post pics of them with their Siennas on.. or even direct me to any past links that'll be great!! TIA! BTW..

Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is officially heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 this fall as a retail and digital game. This version of Dead or Alive 5 is so Ultimate because it includes modes from the Vita's Dead or Alive 5 Plus, new stages, new fighters and cameos from Ninja Gaiden – including levels such as Sky City Tokyo and the character Momiji, as was rumored earlier this week.
"The largest lineup in DOA history includes the first ever appearance of Ninja Gaiden's Momiji, who utilizes the Hayabusa-style Aikijutsu taught to her by the master himself, Ryu Hayabusa," the Ultimate press release reads. Said lineup also appears to include the return of Leon, a fighter who debuted in Dead or Alive 2.

A few weeks ago I attended the NACE Conference in Baltimore which was held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront. I didn't stay overnight in this hotel, so I didn't check out the sleeping rooms, but I did get a decent view of the meeting rooms so I thought I'd share a quick site report.
The Marriott really is on the waterfront (you know – sometimes hotels say they are on the water but aren't really). It's only a short walk to the inner harbor attractions like the National Aquarium.
It's a fairly large conference hotel – there are 41 meeting rooms with a total of 80,000 square feet of meeting space, including exhibit space.
The majority of the space is on the 3rd floor, including the Grand Ballroom, which can hold up to 2,400 people theatre style. Some photos:
With fancy lighting:
The foyer has a nice view of the waterfront.
Here is one of the breakout rooms:
There's a built-in registration area:
Glamour shot of the carpet:
The space is typical hotel ballroom-style – nothing special but certainly functional.
My only other comment on this property was the food. So, NACE is a catering conference. I am assuming that the Marriott handled the catering for most if not all the food, since that is usually required for hotels.
I can imagine the conversation between the hotel sales team and the chef when they were booking this conference.
Sales Manager: "It's a great opportunity to showcase our culinary expertise to a room full of catering and event professionals."
[option 1]
Chef: "Absolutely! I can't wait to show off our amazing menus!"
[option 2]
Chef: "Uh… how many of them will there be and can we lower expectations ahead of time?"
Some of the food I had was pretty tasty. But the "Treasures Under the Sea" Baltimore-is-awesome lunch was… so-so. It was definitely an innovative menu. The first course was a mixed greens salad with a fried clam and a corn dressing… pretty tasty. The main course was a chicken breast stuffed with crab meat and some sort of risotto. Everyone at my table just ate the crab meat out of the chicken; the crab was pretty good but the chicken was so dry. The risotto square… well mine still had parchment paper stuck to it. So overall, the meal was just okay.
On the service side, the little bit I interacted with the Marriott staff, they were stellar. Especially during the aforementioned lunch, where the room set was made up of all different size and shaped tables, and it was just a tad too crowded. Not an ideal service experience but the servers I met were excellent.
Have you ever been to the Marriott or held a meeting there? Share in the comments!

B-Speak really helped me improve my spoken and written English during my summer internship in the USA. Since I had to work with colleagues in a real work place (seriously, I am not in a classroom!) and report to my manager during my summer internship, communicating clearly in speaking and writing was critical. Also, I could save time with Skype because I did not need to waste time commuting to a language institute. All in all, I highly recommend B-Speak to international MBA students if you want to increase the possibility of getting a job in an English-speaking country. Thank you, B-Speak!

Baseball: Legion wins three of five games at Gopher Classic
MINNETONKA -- A year ago the Bemidji Legion baseball team went 0-5 at the prestigious Gopher Classic tournament but participating in the event was the shot in the arm the Legion needed.
"Playing against tough teams like those you face at the Gopher Classic, especially late in the regular season, helps prepare you for the postseason," said Bemidji coach Nate Blumhagen. "Even though we didn't win a game at the Gopher Classic last summer we became a better team."
The Legion transferred the lessons learned at the Gopher Classic into a postseason run that saw Bemidji advance to the sub-state title game against Alexandria. Seeded seventh in the eight-team field prior to the sub-state action, the Legion played its best when it counted the most and was one game away from advancing to the state tournament.
Last weekend the Legion fared much better at the 2014 Gopher Classic, winning three of five games and finishing tied for second in its six-team pool.
"We played very well in four of our five games," Blumhagen said. "We came away from the Gopher Classic feeling very good about how we played and what can happen during the rest of the season."
The Gopher Classic is divided into 16 pools of six teams. Bemidji was paired with Excelsior (Minnetonka High School), Plymouth (Ind.), Rochester Redhawks, Huron (S.D.) and Tri-City Blue (St. Anthony area). On Friday the Legion blistered Tri-City 6-1 and on Saturday it thumped Huron 6-2 before falling 2-1 to Excelsior which is ranked No. 1 in the state's Legion baseball poll.
On Sunday Bemidji closed its tourney with a 7-2 loss to Plymouth and a 4-1 victory over Rochester.
The highlight of the weekend was the loss to Excelsior. Both teams rose to the occasion and runs were at a premium.
Ryan Hirt took the mound for Bemidji while David Cushing was his counterpart for Excelsior. Neither team could break into the scoring column until the upper sixth when Bemidji turned a triple by Collin Rutledge and Connor McNallan's ground ball into a run.
Excelsior managed only five hits off Hirt but two of them -- a single and a home run to left -- came in the lower sixth.
The blast, which sailed over the fence at the 320-foot mark, proved to be the difference as Excelsior hung on for the 2-1 win.
"It was a great atmosphere for a game and it was a great game," Blumhagen said. "It was a matchup against the top team in the state and one of the best pitchers in the state. And we were one pitch away from winning the game."
Earlier Saturday the Legion rallied with six runs in the top of the fifth to trim Huron 6-2. The decisive stanza included walks to Lucas Goins, Dan Johnson, Thomas Revering and Hirt, Matt Morgan's sacrifice bunt, an error on a grounder hit by James Hendricks and RBI ground balls off the bats of McNallan and Tony Geerdes.
Rutledge went the distance on the Bemidji mound and allowed only one hit. In Rutledge's last two outings opponents have managed only two singles in 13.1 innings.
In Sunday's action the Legion lost 7-2 to Plymouth in the early-morning round but bounced back with a 4-1 triumph over Rochester in the afternoon session.
"I think we were a little tired against Plymouth," Blumhagen said. "We had to play at 9 a.m. and that was less than 10 hours after we played a very tough Excelsior team. We gave up four runs in the first inning and really couldn't do much against Plymouth's pitcher."
The Legion scored its two runs in the lower sixth when Seth Anderson was hit by a pitch and Revering raced around the bases for an inside-the-park home run when the Plymouth centerfielder missed on a shoestring dive and the ball bounded behind him.
"Tom is pretty fast and he scored standing up," Blumhagen said.
Morgan was the winning pitcher in the finale against Rochester as he allowed one run on four hits. Bemidji took a 2-0 edge in the opening inning and added two in the fourth. Erik Fitzgerald reached on an error in the first stanza and, after being balked to second, scored courtesy of McNallan's single. McNallan eventually scored when Hirt grounded out.
In the fourth inning Hendricks singled, Morgan doubled him to third and Tony Geerdes followed with an RBI single. Fitzgerald's ground ball plated Morgan with the final run.
The Legion improved to 7-9 and will hope to continue its momentum Thursday when it entertains Perham in a doubleheader starting at 5 p.m.

Sugarloaf to open for 2014/15 Season Nov. 9
CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine (November 7, 2014) - Thanks to favorable temperatures, 6 inches of new snow, and an upgraded fleet of energy-efficient snowmaking equipment, Sugarloaf announced today that it will kick off its 64th winter season on Sunday, November 9 at 8:30am.
Snowmaking began last weekend, with as many as 90 snow guns roaring to life between Sunday and Tuesday mornings. Despite above-normal daytime temperatures over the past week, Sugarloaf was able preserve snowpack, and fired the snow guns back up this morning with plans to continue through the overnight hours.
By opening Sunday Sugarloaf will become just one of three resorts in the Northeast to open for the 2014-15 season.
"Temperatures haven't been quite as low as we would have liked over the past two weeks, but our snowmaking team has been able capitalize on cold overnight periods to get this place ready to go," said Rich Wilkinson, Sugarloaf's Vice President of Mountain Operations. "It's always an exciting time when we announce opening plans and we're looking forward to welcoming Sugarloafers back to the mountain this weekend."
Skiing and riding on opening day will be available on Pinch, Tote Road, and Kings Landing, and is recommended for advanced skiers and riders only. Lift tickets can be purchased for just $39 for all ages.
The resort plans to shut down on Monday for the mid-week stretch, before reopening the following weekend (November 15-16). Daily operations will begin on Friday, November 21st.
This year's early opening is thanks in-part to an investment of more than $2 million in new snowmaking technology over the past three years, which has added nearly 600 new low-energy snowguns to the fleet of snowmaking equipment. The new gear has allowed the resort to make more snow than ever before, while simultaneously reducing their associated energy use by 20 percent. These new snowguns now make up 90% of the snowmaking fleet.
The offseason projects are part of the ongoing Sugarloaf 2020 Ten-Year Road Map, which outlines the resort's ten-year vision for development. In the four years since the plan was introduced, the resort has seen numerous upgrades and improvements, including expansion onto more than 500 acres of new terrain, a new quad chairlift, massive upgrades to its snowmaking system, a new irrigation system for the Sugarloaf Golf Club, a custom 30-person outdoor hot tub at the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel, new restaurants and food options, and upgraded facilities throughout the resort.

Offering to Molech (1897)
Today, listen to the voice of the Lord:
"Do not grow stubborn, as your fathers did in the wilderness,
when at Meriba and Massah they challenged me and provoked me,
Although they had seen all of my works.
Forty years I endured that generation.
I said, 'They are a people whose hearts go astray
and they do not know my ways.'
So I swore in my anger,
'They shall not enter into my rest.'"
I've thought about these words frequently in the lead-up to today, January 22, 2013, the fortieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Now, Roe often gets described as the case that legalized abortion in the United States, and that's true, to a certain extent. Actually, abortion was already legal in several states. What Roe did was claim was that there was a constitutional right to abortion, which is about the most radical position possible.
As a nation, we've certainly seen some positive signs in the intervening forty years. For example, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, and the plaintiff in the companion case Doe v. Bolton, have each come out against abortion. That's pretty incredible. In fact, if it were any other high-profile case, it would probably garner a whole lot of media attention if two lead plaintiffs announced such a radical conversion, devoting their lives to overturning their own cases. Nor were these women alone, either. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, one of the co-founders of NARAL (then known as the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, and one of the major forces behind Roe) became pro-life after the advent of ultrasound technology showed him what abortion really was.
That's a sad reality, and reflects poorly on us as a nation. And so we in the pro-life movement press on, harder and more faithfully than before. As the U.S. bishops have asked, we should be treating these next few days as days of penance and fasting. (If you haven't been doing that, start today). And of course, this Friday is the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. (with similar events happening throughout the country). And so this year in particular, we must march.
The pro-life movement can sometimes feel like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a mountain every day, just to watch it roll back down. More than a few pro-lifers have despaired at the lack of success. And the March for Life in particular can seem pointless: gathering hundreds of thousands of people to march, when they're just going to be ignored by the media (who will run shots of a few dozen counter-protesters, instead). It seems that for all the time, money, and effort, nothing changes.
But the truth is, something has changed: us. Just as the "peculiar institution" of slavery degraded our national soul, the same thing is happening here, today. As Mother Teresa said to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1994,
2008 March for Life
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships.
It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts—a child—as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered domination over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters.
And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners.
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign.
This is why we march, even when it seems like nothing changes. If we stop fighting the currents of the culture of death, we won't stay still. We'll get washed downstream, over the rocks.
But there's another reason that we march, too. Whether or not we change the minds or hearts of anyone else, the very least we can do is stand up for the dignity of the unborn children who are being silently slaughtered by the millions.
|Domingo Valdivieso y Henarejos, The Descent (1864)
When you spend time praying outside of abortion clinics, you'll have encouraging moments where you'll see people turn around and leave, and occasionally, your mere prayerful presence may save a life. But there will also be these long, horrible stretches where nobody turns around, where nobody seems to care that you're there, and nobody's heart seems to change. And at these times, I'm reminded of the Virgin Mary at the foot of the Cross (John 19:25).
She's there, even when the men Jesus chose run away (Matthew 26:56). She stays, likely praying and weeping as she watched her Son die. The Gospels record Christ's words to her, but they don't record anything that she says. She's just there as a silent witness to a horrible tragedy, and she's there quietly loving Him even when the world's turned against Him. That's why we pray outside abortion clinics, and it's why we march.
Mother Teresa saw vividly what the pro-life movement in this country was about:
I have no new teaching for America. I seek only to recall you to faithfulness to what you once taught the world. Your nation was founded on the proposition—very old as a moral precept, but startling and innovative as a political insight—that human life is a gift of immeasurable worth, and that it deserves, always and everywhere, to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
In Roe, we made it clear that we'd forgotten not only what we stand for, but who we are as Americans, and as human beings. The March for Life is part of our effort to reawaken the nation, and draw her back to her former greatness.

Dress Trends to Follow This Spring
Dress Trends:
We can dip an obvious picture of the approaching months in fashion, all thanks to the designers of spring'17 runways. Get ready for more frills, bolder prints, and some sober wardrobe interference.
Traditional Crop Tops:
Open midriff was greatly in quiet before sometime, but it looks to be building something of a comeback with virtually ease if we take past seasons into contemplation. This was a colossal trend back in '80s and '90s but then toggled to lengthening the tops.
It shows we will be enjoying cropped greatly bothered denim tops come out with matching skirts at Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and cropped sweaters as observed at Alexander Wang.
Off Shoulders:
Neck is attractive to show off no matter if you append the tops of the arms and shoulders to the blend, though it gets more attractive as we have seen on the spring 17 runways. It's been used expansively throughout paired with other top spring 17 fashion trends continually, including asymmetrical skirts, paneling with Proenza Schouler and extra-lengthy sleeves at Diane Von Furstenberg.
The trend was combined with a short skirt and puffed-up sleeves at David Koma, getting a rationalized Elizabethan theme to brain. Off shoulder baggy sleeved cropped tops undoubtedly trapped our concentration in their blush color on the Milan, Blumarine runway.
Plunged Necklines:
For the past few seasons, plunged necklines have been seen over the runways, building the trend one that appears to have bought a fit for itself on this Spring 17 fashion trends list.
Few designers like Altuzarra worked with longer sleeves and hems, flouncy coated ruffles and guarantee waists to offer the plunged Vs an extra modest look, but when we look at work wear presented by Hood by Air, it takes us on a wholly diverse dimension.
Sweatshirts are often matched with cropped pants or short skirts, but we can see sweatshirts on the runway quiet a lot too. We mostly had seen a lot of crusty white ones on the New York Fashion Week, from Ryan Roch, DKNY, Yeezy, Vera Wang and Baja East.
It is a typical at leisure tack but ought to haves its own class because it comes into view so many times throughout the shows. Some even supplemented it in the lengthened sleeves trend, whole obvious with the miniskirt blend at Vera Wang.

text: As you know he is in a "relationship" with a thirty something woman. He really seems to love her and I am trying very hard to back off a bit so he's free to make his own choices. Right? Right! Two hours ago they came by the house which smelled of fresh baked Christmas cookies. They admired the tree which they bought and decorated for me at Thanksgiving. They noticed that the dining room table is set with china etc. for our Christmas brunch. After picking up presents to take to GFGmom's house I see them quietly talking. easy child/difficult child comes in the kitchen and says "Mama can we spend the night in my old room so we don't miss anything in the morning?" I almost laughed outloud. He surely knows that Santa isn't really coming. OMG! "Of course you can!" Then when they drove away I had to break out laughing. My grownup kid still wants to be with his Mama. husband got a huge grin when I shared the store with him. Guess we'll have another shared Merry Christmas. DDD
