the Paleo Diet Right For You?
The Paleo diet, also known as the caveman diet, is hugely
popular. In a world full of fast food and convenient snacks, we could hardly be
farther from the food our body is designed to use for nutrition. By focusing on
a low fat,
high protein diet, you can start to eliminate many of the high salt
or sugar foods that can create havoc on your body. A diet heavy in processed,
high fat food can be the cause of more than just weight issues. Many people
also suffer headaches, sleep, and digestive issues. An unbalanced diet can
contribute to a number of physical and mental health struggles as well. By
making a positive change in your diet, you can be on the road to a healthier,
more balanced self.
What Is the Paleo Diet?
As mentioned before, this diet is meant to mimic the way our
caveperson ancestors ate, which focuses on a hunter/gatherer concept. It allows
for high protein food including meat, fish, eggs, as well as maintaining low
fat foods such as fruit, vegetables, and nuts. Off-limit foods include
potatoes, sugar, legumes, grains, dairy and salt. By avoiding these off-limit
foods you will be reducing your intake of processed, preservative filled foods
that often carry more sugar or salt than is recommended for daily consumption.
Paleo is a Lifestyle
Although it may have the word "diet" in it, you can better
understand the paleo diet as a lifestyle change. It isn't meant to be a short
term diet, eating like your ancestors means giving up modern food, which comes
with the luxury of convenience. When you can no longer rely on the microwave to
heat up a pre-packaged dinner, this means that extra time and care goes into
your food preparation. It will not only change the way you eat but will change
your relationship with food, especially if you are switching from a heavy fat,
high carb lifestyle. Luckily, paleo also means community building. There is a
community of people online and in your city ready to welcome, encourage, and
share with you.
Things to Keep In Mind
When making a big change to your diet and lifestyle, remember
to be kind to yourself. Reducing your intake of high fat, sugar, and salt foods
is a positive step for your health and wellbeing that can take time. Remember
that it isn't possible to eat exactly like a caveperson but that paleo is a
great way to redirect and rethink your relationship with food. Also, keep in
mind that it is possible to eat too much protein. Although paleo emphasis
protein, be mindful of what your bodies needs are.
Above all else, enjoy yourself. Connect with others who are
prioritizing their health and lifestyle. Learn from your community and discover
what works well for you.

Re: Buckley / Bailey
Judy Artley 3/01/11
Hi Brenda,
When you post a query accurate details are VERY important. Laura Buckley was living in Salem, MO in 1900.
A Laura Buckley, 21, b. abt. 1886
married 3 May 1907, St. Francois County, MO
a Wm Bailey or Barley of Flat River, Missouri, age-23.
Source=Missouri Marriage Records 1805-2002.
In 1910 Laura was living in Carterville Ward 3, Jasper Co., Missouri.
William M. Bailey, b. MO, 25, M1=2 yrs, shoveler loading trucks.
Laura F., b. MO, 26.
R. Dawa, b. MO, 2.
I didn't find any additional information about any of them and I searched for Richard Bailey too.
The Bailey family you found in the 1900 Tulare Co, CA Census can't be your Bailey family.
William was married to Louis and not Laura.
In 1900 Laura Buckley was living in Salem, Dent Co., MO. She married Wm. Bailey in 1907 in St. Francois Co., MO.
If you have Laura's death certificate then you know her death date in Shasta Co. You can request a copy of her obituaryfrom a volunteer at cagenweb.com/shasta/lookups.html . Hopefully that will contain enough information to answer your questions. Successful Searching!

Texas gets short trip, faces Oregon State in Alamo

Texas will make a short postseason trip this year to face No. 15 Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl.
The Longhorns (8-4) will need only to zip down Interstate 35 to San Antonio for the Dec. 29 game. It will be Texas' first appearance in the bowl since 2006, when the Alamo Bowl enjoyed its second-best crowd and second-best television ratings in its 20-year history as the Longhorns beat Iowa 26-24.

Firm of the Year 2016: Best and worst loos
04 March 2016
Rate it
In this year's league table of law firm loos,
joint Firms of the Year
Burges Salmon
Shearman & Sterling
share the sparkling porcelain prize, while Hill Dickinson is revealed to be in possession of a worthy trophy cabinet for the
Golden Turd
, coming last for its poo-spattered stalls.
Burges Salmon and Shearman came top with 86%, but there is a word of warning for BS. It needs to address the "
weak flush
", especially on the ground floor: "
Nobody likes a stray floater
". And a Shearman staffer complains that the bathroom facilities can be "
" because "
we have to share with DRG (another company) who always leave the loos in a mess
Slaughter and May
scored a decent 75%, let down by several complaints about the fourth floor toilets. Apparently they are used by the disputes department and are "
always overflowing with shit. Some real demon shitters in disputes
". Meanwhile
Allen & Overy
(66%) takes toilet security extremely seriously in Singapore, where "
exiting the toilet requires you to swipe your security pass and, past a certain hour, also entering a four digit PIN
John has an important meeting. John mistyped his PIN three times. John is sad.
Norton Rose Fullbright
(66%) staffer says that the firm has sorted out the infamous "
whale calling noises from the toilet flushing system
". Others disagree, claiming that it "
grows louder and deeper as each year passes
". But despite sounding "
like something on which David Attenborough should be narrating
", they're "
clean and reliable
Except in one lawyer's experience, who says the NRF toilets can be "
the stuff of nightmares
", describing how "
I once went to a disabled toilet which was covered in so much blood it looked like there had been a knife fight
Further round the u-bend, canny
King & Wood Mallesons
(60%) has bogs which are "
so cold they drive you back to work
", while a
DAC Beachcroft
(59%) staffer claims that "
in most of the ladies toilets there aren't even any sanitary bins - should we walk round with soiled sanitary items in our handbags?!
There is shock news for the two-time winner of best loos, Browne Jacobson, which has plunged down the rankings and scores 59%. "
After two years of white porcelain dominance
", rues one staffer,
"we have become complacent
". There are regrets, too, at
Chalres Russell Speechlys
(59%). "
Life is too short for the single-ply toilet paper"
, says an associate. "
It gets the job done but it isn't a pleasant experience - a metaphor for the firm in general
". It's more jolly at BLM (58%), where "
we regularly enjoy a game of 'whodunnit'
". Apparently some people who "
are incapable of flushing away even a number one, and trying to work out which lawyer has left a floater provides hours of sport
There's detective work afoot at
Squire Patton Boggs
(58%) as well, as staff attempt to identify "
a bloke who regularly goes off for a tug to the gent's room on the third floor - you can literally hear the fapping and the strained grunts coming out from behind the toilet cubicle
". His days may be numbered, however: "
Judging by the shoes and sock colour, my guess is on someone from the corporate dept
Thanks to John Dugan, there's no need to go into it blind
Women are not happy with the
(56%) bathrooms, which are
"too dark
" for "
effective make up application
". The lighting, says another, "
makes you look like one of the undead. Just awful
". Women are also unimpressed at
Watson Farley & Williams
(53%), where a "
mystery (female) crapper
" leaves the loos "
in a terrible state
Meanwhile, it's all work and no play at
Herbert Smith Freehills
(49%). One lawyer reminisces how "
as a trainee I was given instructions on a matter whilst in the gents. Which proves you can't even go for a dump without being shat on at HSF
Just the loos
" let down
Travers Smith
(44%), which on the first floor "
resemble a third world sewer
". In one of the buildings, a co-tenant's employees engage in "
toilet tourism'",
which leads to
"overcrowding, unavailability of cubicles and, most concerning, wee on the floor
Dispiriting reports from
(43%): "
when rats aren't popping up out of the toilets
", it "
takes weeks to fix a toilet seat
". And from Kennedys (42%), where the gents "
often look like the scene of a war crime
", because "
seemingly no-one has figured out what toilet brushes are for
Never chase a dropped iPhone
In third from last place, a liar at Slater & Gordon (41%) says the firm has
"nice toilets
". Plexus places second last with 38%. A few months ago, says a Plexus staffer, "
the cleaner complained of people missing the toilet completely
". They eventually found the culprit and "
told him off
", but now "
we have signs telling us how to sit properly on a toilet and not squat"
"we don't miss the bowl
". The signs "
are as bad as they sound"
and are even up in client toilets
: "I dread to think what runs through their minds
". The right thoughts, apparently, with a colleague confirming that since the signs went up, "
there has been a lot less shit on the floor
The Golden Turd winner clinches last place, with loos in Manchester which "
are like something out of Trainspotting
" and loos elsewhere which are "
like something out of a 70s porn movie
". So, not all bad.

Hey, guess what! I still run sometimes! And Sunday I ran 10K! The Albany Running Exchange held their second annual Thacher Park Trail Running Festival on Sunday. You may recall that I ran the 10K last year as well! Well, the weather was much nicer this year and the course was a little bit different. The race started at Horseshoe II Pavilion. There was a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and 50K, each of which started at 8:30AM. I got there with maybe 10 minutes to spare and chatted with Christine who was running the half, while we waited for the race to begin.
Race start-it was a small field!
I felt a little tired during the first 3 miles or so, but after running for a while I felt better. The pink tape on course meant it was the 10K loop.
There's a nice view about halfway at the Hanglider Lookout–always a bonus.
And also again at the end going back toward the finish line.
Distance 10K
Time 1:11:53 (faster than last year!)
Average Pace 11:17/mile
Next year I'd like to run the half!

If you want to learn more about crossbows in general, check out our Best Crossbows Guide.
The Arrow Precision Inferno Fury II is a excellent value for money, beginner appropriate recurve crossbow that is solid all-around with only a couple of minor flaws. It's not a perfect crossbow by any means, but we feel its good enough, particularly for people who are relatively inexperienced or completely new to shooting crossbows. The thing we like most about the Fury II is it's pricing – it comes at a very affordable price point that is perfect for anyone who wants to try out crossbow shooting as a hobby but doesn't want to invest a large amount into buying an expensive crossbow from the get go.
Bow Details
Speed: 235 FPS
Crossbow Length: 34.5
Draw Weight: 175lbs
Width: 26.5 (Recurve Crossbows are wider than compound crossbows)
Power Stroke: 10.5
Crossbow Weight: 5.85lbs
Type: Recurve Crossbow
Cocking Mechanism: Rope Cocker
Our Impressions
First things first – the Inferno Fury II is not really suitable for hunting, and in particular is not appropriate (and in many states is not legal) to use for hunting large game. It is very much an entry level crossbow, and it shoots at pretty slow speeds – and because of this, it lacks the power that's needed to maximize the chances of a humane kill. The Fury II is not designed as a hunting crossbow, and we strongly urge you not to hunt large game with it.
If we put aside the slow shot speed, the Inferno Fury II is actually a solid bow in most other respects, particularly if you take into account how affordable it is. One thing that we especially appreciate about the Fury II is how lightweight it is – one of the advantages of a recurve crossbow is that it will typically be lighter than a compound model because it's just a less complicated machine with less parts – but the Fury II is light even for a recurve crossbow. Size-wise, it's also smaller than the other recurve crossbow that we like a lot, the Excalibur Axiom SMF. Because of it's size and weight, the Inferno Fury II may be particularly suitable for beginners, females, and young adults.
The ergonomics of the Fury II are pretty good as well – the grip is comfortable to handle and the bow shoulders and aims nicely and doesn't feel unwieldy in any way. The Fury II also shoots pretty accurate – we got reasonably good groupings at the standard distances. The accuracy level is better than what we would typically expect from such an affordable crossbow. The Fury II feels pretty durable, and while the materials obviously aren't the most high end available, they are still decent quality and feel pretty sturdy. The Fury II has the standard anti dry-fire mechanism.
The sight is decent – nothing to write home about but definitely usable and serviceable for a budget crossbow model. One thing we weren't crazy about was the trigger – it didn't feel firm enough to us, and while it's not at the point where it would be easy to misfire, we'd prefer a somewhat firmer trigger mechanism. The Fury II has 175lbs draw weight, and comes with a rope cocking device which works as expected. One thing to note is that the power stroke is only 10.5″ on the Fury II – this explains the lack of speed on the shot, but on the other hand makes the draw much more palatable for those who might struggle with a lengthier power stroke.
- Recurve crossbows need less looking after
- Pretty accurate
- Compact size and lightweight
- Decent Ergonomics
- Reasonable durability and construction quality
- Great value for money
- Excellent budget crossbow option
- Only shoots 235 FPS
- Not really suitable for hunting
- Trigger lacks firmness
Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a crossbow that you can hunt with, you should probably take a look at some of our other crossbow reviews – there are plenty of excellent crossbows available that are suitable for hunting, and the Fury II is just not one of them. On the other hand, if you're a beginner or an inexperienced shooter looking for a budget crossbow that will still perform admirably, the Fury II may be the right choice for you. It's really affordable, and beginners who try out shooting and decide they don't like it won't have made a huge investment into a failed hobby. We also recommend the Fury to people who primarily like to target shoot as well as people who are on a really tight budget but want a pretty good crossbow. Other than the lack of power, the Fury II is pretty much solid all-around, and we think it's a great choice for beginners, for inexperienced shooters, and for those of you on a strict budget.

The T Report: Look for Credit To Lead the Way
Stay Long Until IG18 Hits 95
I'm not sure what else to say. As I look through the various markets, I remain convinced that CDS is rich and will continue to get squeezed. That strength in credit will filter into other markets.
I find it harder and harder to like U.S. stocks.
I don't believe in Apple and will soon go out on a limb and short it. The attitude difference around Apple vs Europe is amazing. Everything in Europe is dismissed as priced in or won't happen, everything with Apple is new news or will be good.
I think the LIBOR banks are at risk as more LIBOR stories come out. In the end, I don't think the losses will be anywhere near what the WSJ put out today, but we could see some ugly headlines.
The shorts on the other hand sound like a broken record. Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein, nein…. I cannot begin to count how many times I saw Nein in the headline. Yet here we are, with every indication that the ECB is slowly moving towards taking action in spite of the German negativity. There is a real risk that Europe doesn't do anything new or significant, but as I read actual quotations and full articles, it seems many people are too quick to highlight only one or two comments, sometimes out of context.
I doubt we get anything significant out of Jackson Hole, but I'm not convinced we need it.
In the end, too many people are playing for "The Big Short" for it to happen. We rarely get a big sell-off when so many people are calling for it, and people are calling for it and positioned for it. The pain will be low volume, low volatility, grind, forcing people out of their short positions. Until then, I don't see a significant sell-off without some new real news. I think the Bad Bear Tells remain in place.

The Dr said I was a perfect candidate for the in-office ablation. I am elated! It will take a week for the results to return, but we're not anticipaing anything bad, so after that it's just a matter of scheduling it ASAP. Yeah!

Look, I'm Reading! Bible Storybook ~ Review
Happy New Year! We are relaxing this morning because the powers that be say it is a "snow" day! So far we just have a little sprinkling on our deck. We'll see what happens later this afternoon!
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post, but was given a free book to review. I am an affiliate of Amazon, and will receive a small commission if a link on this page is used to make a purchase.
My daughter enjoys her new Look, I'm Reading! Bible Storybook so much it was a little difficult to stop her from reading it for a few moments so I could take some posed pictures. She's read quite a few pages in it, and likes that she can read it without help.
Over the last few years we have read several Bible story books to M, and now she is very proud that she can now read one to us. She also likes the fun rebus format; pictures are substituted for some of the words in the stories. I'm not crazy about the illustrations, but my seven-year-old likes them just fine – she is very excited about this book!
There are 10 main Old Testament and 8 main New Testament Bible Stories. Each main story is broken down into one-page mini-stories. The book is designed so children can read along with you as you read to them (a great way to teach kids to read). Or, older children can read it themselves, with or without help, depending on their reading level. Based on my seven-year-old daughter's response, I highly recommend this storybook!
Click here for an online preview of this book on Scribd.
Purchase Information
Look, I'm Reading! Bible Storybook is recommended for children ages 4 through 8, and is available to order at this link.
Currently priced at $10.40 (at the time of this post), the list price of this gift-quality, hardback book is $12.99.
Tommy Nelson publishers has graciously offered one of my readers a copy of Look, I'm Reading! Bible Storybook. The giveaway is open to U.S. residents and will run through midnight on Friday, January 20, 2017. Must be at least 18 years old to enter.
The winner will be contacted via email and will have two days to claim the prize. If unclaimed, a new winner will be drawn. The winners' entries will be verified. Please enter the contest using the Rafflecopter form below. All entries are optional. Thank you for visiting Cotton Ridge Homeschool!

Kevin O'Leary: "Canada spends $12 billion a year on oil from Saudi Arabia."
Kevin O'Leary: "Canada spends $12 billion a year on oil from Saudi Arabia."
By: Nojan Kamoosi on
Kevin O'Leary, former Conservative Party leadership candidate, in an interview on January 18, 2017
Canada spends on average $2.2 billion a year on Saudi oil, according to Statistics Canada.FactsCan Score: False
In an interview explaining his bid for the Conservative Party leadership, Kevin O'Leary said, "Canada spends $12 billion a year on oil from Saudi Arabia due to lack of pipelines that transport oil from the west coast to the east coast."
O'Leary, who stepped out of the race this week with an endorsement for Maxime Bernier, gave the same figure in another interview in January.
There are two claims here: (1) Canada spends $12 billion a year on Saudi oil and (2) Canada buys Saudi oil because there is no trans-Canada pipeline. We'll check the first part only, and delve into the second just for context.
Does Canada spend $12 billion a year on Saudi oil?
O'Leary is off by $10 billion. Canada spent $1.7 billion on oil from Saudi Arabia in 2016, according to Statistics Canada, and an average of $2.2 billion a year since 2012.
Canada's annual spending on oil from Saudi Arabia
|Spending (billions)
Source: Statistics Canada
The sole Canadian buyer of Saudi oil appears to be Irving Oil, a refinery based in New Brunswick. Natural Resources Canada would not confirm any additional purchasers, and Irving's position can be concluded from the data. According to Statistics Canada, New Brunswick is the destination for 100 per cent of Saudi oil imports since 2012. The National Energy Board confirmed Irving is the only refinery in New Brunswick and the largest refinery in Canada.
The origin of the $12 billion figure is unclear, and O'Leary did not respond to our requests for comment. Every expert we spoke with gathered their data on oil imports from Statistics Canada or the National Energy Board, which uses Statistics Canada data.
Brandon Schaufele, a business professor at the University of Western Ontario, said O'Leary could potentially be referring to Canada's expenditure on oil imports from all countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, including those countries doesn't come close to $12 billion. Canada's 2016 expenditure on oil from all MENA countries was $3.6 billion.
Mr. O'Leary's claim is false. Spending on Saudi oil in 2016 was $1.7 billion, which is nearly six times under O'Leary's $12 billion figure.
Would dependence on Saudi oil decrease with a new trans-Canada pipeline?
For context, we dug into the second part of O'Leary's claim linking an absence of pipelines to the high cost of oil.
Energy independence and pipeline development are commonly linked topics in Canadian politics. In the case of a trans-Canada pipeline, a clear link to energy independence is tricky to make. And politicians, oil companies, and environmental groups have made contradictory claims.
Energy East is the only major Canadian pipeline proposed in recent years that would link the west coast of Canada to the east coast. This project is run by TransCanada Corp. Proponents of the project assert it would increase the global availability of Canadian oil.
Ian Whitcomb, the president of Irving Oil, said in 2016 that the company would continue to buy foreign oil even with an Energy East pipeline. "We will add Western Canadian crude to our portfolio as the economics dictate, but probably not at the expense of our Saudi barrels," he said.
A 2016 report from Environmental Defence, a non-profit that advocates for limiting fossil fuel use, concluded that much of the oil transported by Energy East will be for international export, not for domestic use. The group pointed to a lack of economic incentives for purchasing heavy crude oil from Alberta, along with limited refining capacity among Canadian companies.
TransCanada has refuted the Environmental Defence position. The company acknowledged that some Energy East oil will be for export, but said it plans to meet domestic demand too. On energy independence, TransCanada cited Saudi Arabia as a market that it hopes will be less important to Canada with a new pipeline.

"Wexham Park does not deserve the bad press it gets..."
About: Wexham Park Hospital Wexham Park Hospital Slough SL2 4HL
Posted via NHS Choices
I've been treated at Wexham Park more times than I would care to mention due to an ongoing heart condition. I cannot fault the service and care that I have received at this hospital. All of the staff from the Cleaners, Catering Staff, Nurses, Doctors and up to the Consultants have been and continue to be fantastic. The perception and local reputation of Wexham Park is sometimes negative and I think this is completely unfair and unjust. My only complaint about the hospital is the lack of car parking.
Response from Wexham Park Hospital 3 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your care with the cardiology team. I am pleased to hear that all the staff have been fantastic. I am sorry that car parking is limited and there are some longer term plans to help with this in the pipeline. I will share your comments with all the areas and they will be delighted. Thank you again Kind Regards Claire Marshall Associate Director of Patient Experience and Public Involvement

Let love sparkle.
Early December in Byron Bay was sub-tropically wet. Not maybe what you would visualise as the weather for your wedding day when planning. But does it ever go according to plan? And aren`t the surprises in life, the bits that make it worth living? I think so. And if I had forgotten it, Matt and Amy are exactly the people that you want in your life to help remember, to let go and surrender to the moments happening right now, the only time that`s real. Embrace life. It`s worth living. It`s the place to let love sparkle.
And the sun came out in the afternoon and the reward was an incredible sunset. It`s all about trusting that the day will be amazing.
To Siena and Archer and Phoenix; you are very lucky to have such fantastic parents! Don`t forget to tell them every now and then.

Kumeu River Village Chardonnay 2015 (Rv)
The 2009 vintage provided us with Chardonnay of real purity and finesse across all of our vineyards. The wines are supple, refreshing and beautifully concentrated. The Village wine from 2009 benefited from the decision to leave the hard press portion of our Chardonnays out of the Village wine. As a result the 2009 Village Chardonnay is particularly supple with a very fine texture that makes the wine delicious to drink.
This wine was fermented 1/3 French oak barriques, and 2/3 in stainless steel tanks to allow emphasis on the ripe peach and melon aromas of the Chardonnay fruit. We always think that this is a wine to drink while you wait for the Kumeu River Chardonnay to get more bottle age.
This year's Village Chardonnay features very attractive lifted fruit aromas, along with a touch of nuttiness: the hint of hazelnut that is so typical of Chardonnay. The palate also shows a nice peachy ripeness along with a crisp flinty character that gives the wine a refreshing cleansing quality. This wine is perfect to drink with fish and shellfish.

Just don't expect service
By Argus on
Vehicle2001 Subaru Legacy L AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewDon't expect to get any type of service
from a Subaru dealer. Used synthetic
oil every 5K since new. I've had a
knocking noise in my engine since
70,000km - diagnosed as a "bad bottom
end". I'm now at 86,000km and to this
date no one has been able/willing to
fix it, and it continues to get worse.
They claim the area "rep" has to
inspect all warranty claims over $800
in value, and he is in the nighbourhood
once every 3 months. It's been 5 months
now and 16,000 km later I'm still
waiting to get my car fixed. Fuel
economy is down roughly 40% from new.
I'll be taking Subaru to small claims
court in May and selling my car as soon
after as possible.

Pazienza. A Sicilian mantra.
For one full year, I had the patience of a saint.
My favorite al fresco coffee bar sat at the foot of this scaffolding.
Each morning the sandblasted stone let loose an angry flurry of grit, turning my laptop a dusty gray.
Eyes stung, ears hurt.
Paradiso lost.
But now the church of San Giuseppe has been unveiled. Life is back to normal. Splendor in the morning sun.
Dustless coffee. Noiseless pastry.

Shivaji#2: Sword of the Sahyadris
Releasing 2017!
The Warrior Who Defied A Dynasty
Book Two depicts Shivaji's guerilla campaign against superior enemy forces.
Credited as inventing the art of guerilla warfare in the sub-continent, Shivaji learned at a young age that his nascent Maratha resistance was no match for repeated pitched battles with the superior Sultanate and Moghul armies. While the empire and the sultanate could throw tens of thousands of men, cavalry and formidable cannon assaults at them, the Marathas had to protect their people, their crops, their homes and lands and families, even as they confronted the far greater forces. Despite these disadvantages, he won a crucial victory at the Battle of Pratapgarh, proving his mettle and impressing no less a military master commander than Emperor Aurangzeb himself. One of the first to recognize the threat posed by the young upstart from the Sahyadri hills, Aurangzeb warned everyone not to take the Marathas lightly. But the Sultan of Bijapur refused to put his best forces against the wild 'Mavalis' of the hills and instead sent an army of Afghan mercenaries. Shivaji's victory shocked everyone. The response was swift, with a stronger force of over 10,000 commanded by the renowned Abyssinian general Rustamjaman attacked Shivaji and less than 5,000 Marathas at Kolhapur. Not only did Shivaji win the day after several hours of brutal frontal assaults, but even the famous general was forced to flee for his life. Aurangzeb summoned his allies to court, warning them of this 'mountain rat' of the Sahyadris and deciding to bring the entire weight and power of the Moghul empire to bear on the upstart Maratha warrior. Allying with the Moghuls, the Sultanate then attacked Shivaji's force of barely 10,000 Marathas with an army of over 40,000 which comprised only the vanguard. In a series of brilliant tactics, Shivaji was surrounded and besieged at Panhala fort near Kolhapur. Then began one of the most bitter sieges of the time. Even the English aided the Moghuls, pounding the fort with their long-range cannon and heavy rock-pelting with siege machines. Shivaji then put into motion one of the most daring and brilliant military countermeasures. Sallying out of the fort, his key men infilterated the Sultanate and british camps, sabotaged cannons, assassinated officers. Using misinformation, spies, and daring lightning-strikes Shivaji escaped the fort and led his enemies on a wild chase. Fighting with dandas (sticks) and wits, the Marathas defeated their enemies in a series of exciting battles and skirmishes, culminating with the crucial Battle of Umberkhand.

Jose Maria Olazabal was left cursing his putter after missing out on a million-dollar jackpot in California today.
From three-up after three in his Accenture world match play quarter-final against Brad Faxon at La Costa, Olazabal lost at the second extra hole when the American holed from 20 feet.
As if to make him feel worse, Faxon then missed a two-footer on the last to lose his semi-final to Kevin Sutherland and leave tomorrow's final a match nobody could have predicted - Sutherland, ranked 62nd of the 64 players and with no tournament wins to his name, against 45th seed Scott McCarron.
McCarron, whose week began with a match against Colin Montgomerie which ended with the heckled Scot threatening never to play in America after this season, beat Paul Azinger with a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th in the other semi-final.
Both he and Sutherland were born in the Californian capital Sacramento and played high-school golf against each other. A world event has become a city shoot-out.
Olazabal said: "It just came down to putting in the end. I couldn't make one all day and he made a few important ones at the right time.
"It was simply down to that. Not even when I was three-up did I think it was my day. I was five-up on Retief (Goosen) in the second round and that went to the last.
"If you putt like I did and he putts like he did, he will win."
Olazabal did make a nine-foot downhiller to stay alive on the 18th - his third successive birdie on the hole - but he missed a 15-foot attempt to win at the 19th.
Faxon had come back from his dreadful start to level by the 14th and went ahead two holes later when Olazabal missed from only five feet.
It left the semi-finals as an all-American affair.
Faxon had not been behind until facing Olazabal, but he bogeyed the first and third and in between Olazabal splashed out of a greenside bunker to six feet for a winning birdie.
The pendulum started swinging, however, when Faxon holed from 40 feet on the fifth.
He birdied the eighth as well and they were back level at the short 14th, Olazabal coming out of sand to six feet and seeing the putt, to his clear astonishment, catch the lip and stay out.
Olazabal's compensation was a cheque for #122,000, but the semi-finalists were guaranteed over #250,000 and for tomorrow's winner there was a million dollars - nearly #700,000 - to accompany the trophy.
There was never more than one hole between McCarron and Azinger. Azinger led twice on the front nine, but they were level from the 13th until McCarron's dramatic closing blow.
Faxon led Sutherland by two after eight, but never won another hole and made probably the second-biggest blunder of his career on the last - the worst was losing a crucial Ryder Cup singles match to a closing David Gilford bogey in 1995.
In the other quarter-finals, McCarron had beaten Tom Lehman four and three, Azinger defeated Bob Estes two and one and Sutherland knocked out number six seed and reigning US PGA champion David Toms three and two.
McCarron, conqueror also of Sergio Garcia, remarkably won five holes in a row after turning two down to Lehman.
The turning point was Lehman's second to the 450-yard 10th, which almost did a bouncing bomb trick across the lake short of the green.
With it failing to make it back onto dry land, however, McCarron was able to win the hole with a par four, then birdied the next three holes to go two-up.
That became three when Lehman, his flawless outward 33 now a distant memory, completely duffed a chip on the short 14th and lost that to another par.
McCarron finished his man off clinically, holing a 12-foot putt for another birdie on the next for a four and three success.
Azinger and Estes both had two birdies on the front nine before Azinger took the lead for the first time with another at the long 12th.
Estes answered that one, but Azinger made a downhill 12-footer on the 15th and at the 17th, after Estes had missed from eight, he holed from five to go through.
Sutherland's week began with a victory over world number three David Duval and he immediately took control against Toms with birdies at the second and third.
After turning one-down Toms bogeyed the 10th and could not match Sutherland's two at the next. Toms did win the 13th with a birdie of his own, but Sutherland's birdie at the 16th finished things off.
Garcia, incidentally, had followed his defeat to McCarron by playing tennis with Lehman's caddie Andy Martinez - with "friend" Martina Hingis acting as ball-girl part of the time.
Then this morning it was the real thing, Garcia against Hingis. They kept the result a secret, though.

When I was in the downward spiral of my ever-darkening faith angst and depression, I did what I always do. I read. Not the Bible so much…but memoirs. Lots of memoirs. I was looking for someone to make sense of the voices in my head. I was looking for truth and beauty, beauty and truth, all of it bound together in paperback form.
I found every faith memoir I could, and as I did, I found myself faced with a discouraging fact:
The ones that offered the hope of a beautiful and whole faith (Mary Karr, Anne Lamott, Henri Nouwen) came from such different backgrounds from mine. While they spoke to my soul in important ways, they couldn't help me make sense of my own particular and strange set of evangelical baggage.
The ones that did come from some similar background (Julia Scheeres in Jesus Land and Mark Curtis Anderson in Jesus Sound Explosion) always seemed to be leaving their faith altogether – writing about their childhood religious experiences from the point of view of those who have escaped and are long, long gone.
What I wanted most in those dark days was to know that it was possible to fight through your faith baggage and come out the other side. I needed to see someone who'd done it – who'd made it through and found the Light at the other side. I wanted to hear the story of someone who'd wrestled through their evangelical past and had, in the process, been touched by God.
My book, When We Were on Fire, came out in October, and it's the story of my own particular journey from on fire Christianity to the ashes of Depression and back towards something that looks like hope. I hope that you read it and that it speaks to you and that it makes you feel less alone.
The book that I wrote comes in a wave of new memoirs by people who are working through their faith in honest, careful ways. I love this. I love that publishers are making space for people to tell their stories and to grapple with the questions of faith in their own, unique ways.
This month (inspired by Leigh Kramer's Read-the-books-you-have-instead-of-buying-new-ones project) I worked through six new faith memoirs. Not every single one spoke to me in profound ways, but they all spoke to me in some way. And I want to include them here because maybe one of these is exactly the book you need. Exactly the one you've been looking for. The one that will help you make sense of your own spirituality. The one that will help you know that you're not alone.
Please note that this list is just a subset of many beautiful spiritual memoirs out there. This is not a Best Of list (I don't make those because I hate them). It also should be noted that received these books free of charge because apparently that's what happens when you become a "Faith Blogger."
I'm not going to tell you which were my favorites. I'm not going to critique or review. I'm simply giving them to you here because each one is a gift in its own way.
Maybe you'll find what you're looking for.
Faith and Other Flat Tires: Searching for God on the Rough Road of Doubt
Andrea Palpant Dilley
Short Summary: Andrea Palpant Dilley spent part of her childhood in Kenya – the daughter of Quaker missionaries – and the other part attending a Presbyterian church in Spokane, Washington. She was exposed to deep suffering at an early age as her parents faced the world's poverty and need head-on.
It was doubt of all kinds, but primarily this problem of pain and suffering, that led Andrea away from church and Christianity. She carefully, articulately traces this journey of doubt and questions, never offering pat answers, confessing the ambiguity in beautiful, insightful prose.
"Even now with the advantage of distance and perspective, I can't entirely chart a clean progression of the events leading up to my departure from the church. It happened over a period of about six months. Rather than being driven by conscious, 'doorway of decision' questions – should I stay or should I go? – my departure seemed less decisive and more confused. I stood on the threshold of the church leaning out. Eventually the critical mass of my weight forced me over the edge."
Who should read this: "People who, like me, find themselves driven by doubt and wandering the margins in search of a place to call home."

Found: A Story of Questions, Grace & Everyday Prayer
Micha Boyett
(Releases April 1)
Short Summary: For Micha Boyett, becoming a mother changed her relationship with God in a profoundly difficult way. Where she'd always enjoyed a rich Spirit life, she found herself suddenly estranged from prayer…and like many of us good Christian girls, she responded by blaming herself.
Micha begins this book exploring the quiet practice of liturgy at a Benedictine Monastery, and it becomes the beginning of a new journey toward the prayer in the everyday. Micha's is a beautifully written journey of self-acceptance, of receiving grace, and of being found by God over and over again.
"I wiggle wood chips into place and think, Lord, earth me in truth; earth me in Jesus.
"I am loved by God. Belief is my invitation. I am not my performance. God doesn't love me more when I'm a good mom or when I'm kind to my husband. God doesn't love me more when I take care of a friend's kid or when I say something smart. And God won't love me more when I finally figure out how to pray.
"Then it dawns on me: I am figuring out how to pray."
Who should read this: Anyone who's ever gotten prayer (or other aspects of faith) all tangled up in performance. Anyone who needs permission to take a deep breath and let go.

Thrashing About with God: Finding Faith on the Other Side of Everything
Mandy Steward
Short Summary: In this intimate book, abstract artist Mandy Steward explores the questions the crop up at the intersection of faith and identity. Hailing, like me, from a Christian culture where self-sacrifice was required and applauded, Steward struggles with figuring out the place of the heart in Christianity. Steward chooses to "go dark," and the book is less a traditional "story" than a grappling with the deep questions of faith.
If you're looking for a narrative structure or straight story, Steward's book might not be for you. This book, much like the "Hidden Messages" art that Steward sells in her Etsy shop, is largely a collage of questions, quotations, and word pictures, all surrounding the "hidden message" itself, which is something about the nature of grace.
"Negative emotions need not always alert me of wrongdoing. Sometimes they are just there and must be allowed the opportunity to pass by rather than take up residence. Sometimes they are part of healing. Sometimes they are part of learning. Sometimes they are just part of living this messy life."
Who should read this: The one who feels like her doubts are too big, that her questions are a denial of everything she holds dear, that she doesn't know who she is anymore. That maybe she never really did.

Spiritual Misfit: A Memoir of Uneasy Faith
Michelle DeRusha
(Releases April 15)
Short Summary: Michelle DeRusha's upbringing was different than mine – she grew up in a Catholic Church where God "was not accessible in a everyday kind of way," but was rather "like a foreman or a CEO—distant and important, someone you might approach with a serious concern, but not someone with whom you made small talk." She spent much of her childhood terrified of hell until she decided that she didn't actually believe in God at all.
Spiritual Misfit tells the story of a closet unbeliever and her tenuous, careful journey toward Why Not? With a conversational, relatable tone and quirky, hilarious metaphors, Michelle brings her readers along on her journey of faith and doubt in the cornfields of Lincoln, Nebraska.
"'Let's sing "Jesus Loves Me,"' [the pastor] suggested. Right on cue, twenty brand-new members [of a new-member orientation class] joined him, singing lyrics as familiar and comforting as 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.'
"I stood there, rigid and dumbfounded, silently moving my lips while everyone else around me belted out the lyrics memorized from their earliest days in Sunday school. […] I didn't know the words. I didn't even recognize the tune. I stood there with my fake-singing, a smile plastered on my face. I was certain everyone knew the truth: that I was a fake, a fraud, a lying Lutheran, a pseudo-believer among real Christians."
Who should read this: The one who's not sure if any of this is real. The one who secretly thinks that God probably doesn't exist and all of this is a bunch of baloney. The one who feels like a spiritual outsider…but maybe, in some small way, wants to be able to believe.

And Life Comes Back: A Wife's Story of Love, Loss and Hope Reclaimed
Tricia Lott Williford
Short Summary: While this book is different than others listed here – it's not really about untangling one's faith background – it is a book about grappling with faith and God in the face of loss. When she was only thirty-one, Tricia Williford became a widow when her thirty-five-year-old husband died suddenly in her arms. This book records the first year of the journey through loss, suffering, and heartache.
I appreciated this book for its unflinching honesty and its mix of all that is humorous and hard. I marveled at the way Tricia was able to cling to God in the midst of what felt like a senseless loss. I wonder if I would have reacted the same way – if in the face of actual unspeakable suffering, all of my theological issues with a God who would allow it might melt away and I might hang on, like Tricia did, for dear life. I hope so.
(Warning: this book will annihilate you. I have been crying for days reading it.)
"I have lived one whole year of winter. There were sunny days that peeked through on occasion, but my heart stayed cold, bundled, protected. Still, there are things to enjoy only in winter: good books, shorter days, enveloping blankets, and isolation. I have relished these. In January, when I began speaking to God again, I made a deal with him: if he would get me out of bed and safely to Starbucks, I would visit with him there. I might not talk, but I would listen. My mornings became my sacred hours; Starbucks became my sanctuary. God met me there."
Who should read this: Anyone who has experienced loss. Or anyone who feels debilitated by the fear of loss.

Girl at the End of the World: My Escape from Fundamentalism in Search of Faith with a Future
Elizabeth Esther
Short Summary: This is the intimate and heart-breaking account of one girl's experience in a fundamentalist cult called "The Assembly." Before I began to sort through my own experiences with organizations like Teen Mania, it had never occurred to me that there could be a thing such as a "Christian cult." However, as Elizabeth and I both learned the hard way, a cult has nothing to do with beliefs themselves and everything to do with coercion, manipulation and shame.
This is a fast, engaging read, and Esther is a master storyteller. The stories she tells from her past will break your heart, but the way that she describes her recovery and the small ways she moves forward is inspiring, insightful and beautiful.
"Is it possible that even though I've left The Assembly, that frantic way of living hasn't left me? Have I simply transferred my apocalypse mentality into a new context? The thought haunts and enrages me."
Who should read this: Anyone who has been (intentionally or unintentionally) manipulated by charismatic faith leaders. (Though there are few who will have experienced fundamentalism to the level that Esther did, there are many who will resonate with small pieces of this, barbs still left in our hearts after so many years.)

And of course there's mine. If you haven't read it, this might be just the right moment to check it out. 🙂
What about you? Any faith memoirs you've read lately that moved you?

text: info on 'NBP riot' to terminate drug lords na-receive two months ago 0 JUST IN: info on 'NBP riot' to terminate drug lords na-receive two months ago 4:12 PM A+ A- Print Email The attack on drug convict Jaybee Sebastian could be part of a plan to "terminate" drug lords inside the New Bilibid Prison, a party-list lawmaker said Wednesday, adding the government may have something to do with it. According to Magdalo party-list Rep. Gary Alejano, he heard from an informant that the killing of incarcerated drug lords would be done through a "staged riot." "May na-receive ako na information two months ago. Ang information, iyong mga drug lord will be terminated and liqudated through a staged riot," he said. Alejano declined to identify the source of his information, but claimed the person "has direct information" on the goings-on inside the national penitentiary. He also refused to speculate on who could be behind the "staged riot," but said it would not be hard to see the government's hand in it. ADVERTISEMENT "Iyong suspected drug users sa labas namamatay dahil suspect sila at nanlaban. Eh 'di much more sa kulungan. Hawak ang buhay nila ng mga guwardiya," he said. Alejano said the people behind the staged riot probably think that killing off drug lords in prison is the easiest way to clamp down the illegal drug trade in the country. President Rodrigo Duterte and Justice Vitaliano Aguirre II have repeatedly said drug lords inside the NBP are controlling the drug trade not only inside the penitentiary but even beyond its walls. "Itong drug lords na ito, hindi mo na magalaw at makulong kasi nasa loob na sila ng kulungan. So wala nang ibang way but i-liquidate sila. Iyon ang nakikita ko," said Alejano. Since the start of the Duterte administration, more than 1,000 drug suspects have been killed either during police operations or through vigilante-style attacks. Meanwhile, more than 18,000 drug users have been arrested, and more than 700,000 have surrendered. Alejano said he wants to bring up the issue on "liquidation" plan to the House justice committee, which is currently conducting an inquiry on the proliferation of drugs inside the NBP. However, the lawmaker thinks the panel has already shown its partiality through the two days of hearings it has so far conducted last week. During the inquiry, nine witnesses, mostly NBP inmates, all pointed to Sebastian as the one behind efforts to raise money for the candidacy of Sen. Leila de Lima. The neophyte senator, likewise, has been implicated by the witnesses to have benefited from the drug trade inside the NBP. "The [House panel] has already concluded the hearing. May conclusion na sila kaagad. What we need is an objective investigation. Kasi kung may conclusion ka na kaagad, saan pa pupunta iya?" Alejano said. Alejano said he would be requesting copies of CCTV at Building 14, where the stabbing of Sebastian and three other inmates, including drug convicts Peter and Tony Co, happened on Wednesday morning. SPONSOR There are currently two versions of what transpired during the stabbing incident, with one involving an alleged pot session of the Chinese nationals inside Buildng 14, which Alejado said was highly unlikely. "Paanong nagka-pot session doon eh PNP-SAF na nga ang nagbabantay doon? Tuluy-tuloy ang galugad nila," said Alejano, referring to an elite police unit tasked to maintain security at the national penitentiary. Alejano suspected that the government could be forcing Sebastian to testify against De Lima. "Naiintindihan namin bakit nila sinabi na hindi makaka-attend si Sebastian kasi nasabihan siguro na matigas ang ulo," he said. Alejano, however, stressed the importance of allowing Sebastian to air his side of the story. "Para naman makapagsalita siya ng side niya. We only heard one side," he said.

(CNSNews.com) – President Obama will discuss his administration's apparent end-run around Congress on immigration policy at 1:15 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, straight from the Homeland Security News release:
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today announced that effective immediately, certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria will be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings. Those who demonstrate that they meet the criteria will be eligible to receive deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and will be eligible to apply for work authorization.

"Our nation's immigration laws must be enforced in a firm and sensible manner," said Secretary Napolitano. "But they are not designed to be blindly enforced without consideration given to the individual circumstances of each case. Nor are they designed to remove productive young people to countries where they may not have lived or even speak the language. Discretion, which is used in so many other areas, is especially justified here."
DHS said it will continue to focus its enforcement resources on removing people who pose a national security or public safety risk, including immigrants convicted of crimes, violent criminals, felons, and repeat immigration law offenders. "Today's action further enhances the Department's ability to focus on these priority removals," it said. (Napolitano was discussing the immunity program on a conference call with reporters that began at 10:30 a.m.)

Hello to all Mingalagyis,
It's been a long time I haven't asked any questions on the forum, so here I come again .
I've read about hot air balloon in Bagan that you can use to see the sunrise from up above, and from the pictures I've seen it seems absolutely magnificent, I really would like to do it.
Only problem is the price, it is apparently very expensive for a balloon flight, like 300 USD per person, because there seems to be only one company doing it.
Could anybody please confirm this information about price and the fact that there is only one company doing so. Is there any ways to have a better price than that, other company, tour with negotiated fares, or anything that could bring the prices down?
That would really help if someone had good tips about it.
Thanks a lot

Would you teach your children to tell the truth?
Would you take the high road if you could choose?
—John Mellencamp, "Your Life is Now"
From day one back in the Johnny Cougar days, I have had an affinity for John Mellencamp, a heart-of-America songwriter who uses his entertainment reach to leave the world a bit better, even if he is a bit of an asshole sometimes.
His lyrics beckon in the lexicon of the American psyche that something had gone immeasurably wrong, that we have lost our way.
In "Justice and Independence '85," he says that when justice walked away, a nation cried. In his album cover for "Scarecrow," he references Job from the Old Testament, stating there is nothing new under the sun. And I think he is saying that the social injustices he sings about on that album are not new—just the same pig with different lipstick.
As a regular commentator on political matters who necessarily sees his own transgressions and hypocrisies, I realize that if I am not part of the solution, I am part of the problem. I choose the former. I would hope you would too.
With the tacit understanding that advertisement and subsequent profit is the lifeblood of any organization that purports to bring about the "story," I am fortunate, it seems, to be on board with one that places that second to the more important role we play in maintaining the Fourth Estate.
You see, we have come to a place where some publications publish stories to draw your interest to their advertisers. Kind of like why Hugh Hefner's rag had naked girls in it. (Yes, you should feel just as dirty.)
Whereas the more virtuous thing is to seek advertising dollars in an effort to bring attention to the stories being published.
Soap box aside, you might be asking what my point here is.
Simple: Think nationally and act locally. It is time for some serious effing house cleaning in this little town, and if those who are in the judicial and executive branches here are too enmeshed with the corrupt local monoculture's stranglehold on what every damn one of us knows is right and wrong, then perhaps it is time for some reporters to get off their asses and do some journalism.
Rats in dark corners hate light.
But can I ask a question and aim it at those who know they are abusing their positions? What the hell do you tell your children?
Bastards beware.
See you out there.

Preliminary Land Development Plan
The Preliminary Land Development Plan (PLDP) is the technical document required under the City of Pittsburgh Zoning Code for large development areas. The PLDP establishes a set of requirements for accomplishing the Vision of the project and the conditions outlined in the Special Plan District (SPD) zoning. The PLDP includes sections identified as Regulating Plans which describe the requirements for streets, blocks, buildings and Open Spaces. The PLDP also includes the requirements and goals for the sustainable development of the site and the design standards for private and public right of way improvements. The PLDP includes a section showing an Illustrative Master Plan, this plan is intended to demonstrate the requirements of the Regulating Plans, the goals of the PLDP and is based on a market study which identified the potential scale and mix of the development. The Illustrative Master Plan development program is used to generate estimates of economic impacts, utility loads and parking and traffic impacts.
When a specific project is identified within the SPD district a Final Land Development Plan (FLDP) submission is prepared for public input and approval by the Planning Commission. The FLDP provides specific information about the building or project and identifies materials, uses and related information such as parking and signage. The FLDP must be consistent with and conforming to the SPD and PLDP.
In 2015 the PAR and McCormack Baron Salazar the Lead Residential Developer engage the architecture and planning firm of Bjarke Ingals Group "BIG" based in the Netherlands and New York to provide input and a vision for the site building on the principles outlined in the PLDP and SP Zoning Text. After four months of work including public meetings BIG presented their "New Lower Hill Master Plan and Appendix". The master plan vision is based on enhanced accessibility and improving linkages between Downtown, the site and the greater Hill District through a series of interconnected pathways. The vision plan proposed building typologies for the residential and commercial areas of the site. As development plans are advanced the BIG Lower Hill New Master Plan will be a source of inspiration and reference in addition to the PLDP and SP Text Amendment and elements of the plan may be incorporated in whole or in part.

Earlier today I was concerned that I'd planned to blog once a week, but that week had passed and I really needed to write a post about feminism. Turned out I needn't have worried, because the good old cliché of "it came to me in the shower" just actually really happened in real life. See, tonight there's a huge party (eeeeeeek!), so I shaved my legs, which I onky bother with when people might see them, and I realised I always feel guilty for doing so, because it's an attempt at conforming with one of the ridiculous patriarchal beauty standards for women so I'm probably complicit in all that, right?
Then I realised how fucked up that line of thought is. From a young age, women are taught they have to "fit the mould" or face ridicule and rejection from others; then, when we attempt to fit the mould, we're shamed for that too. Take all the jokes about women taking ages to get ready or that advert (I think it's for Head & Shoulders, please correct me if I'm wrong) that begins with "Girls – why so many beauty products?"; erm, maybe it's because most girls have to use so many beauty products just to look like what the media calls "normal"?! (Incidentally, I really like this song about the whole thing) It should be said that a great deal of this body policing can sometimes come from within feminism too, though; the idea that all women who wear make-up, wear sexually revealing clothing, shave, or do anything else the patriarchy expects us to do with our bodies are, therefore, complicit in these patriarchal expectations. So, if women don't look 100% perfect all the time they are harassed and ridiculed, and if women even try to evade this they're told they're vain and silly and setting back feminism. In other words, women can't win. For a change.
In addition, it's important to consider that, well, women should be able to choose what they do with their own bodies, and some women actively choose to do all this stuff. HJ Street wrote a post about shaming women who wear revealing cosplay costumes a while back, and the same principles apply here. Yes, it should be noted that these choices aren't made in a vacuum, but that's not the fault of these women, it's the fault of the culture surrounding them. That's what should be criticised here.
If a woman chooses these things under her own free will, to shame her for this removes her bodily autonomy. If she only "chooses" these things under the constant pressure of patriarchal beauty standards, to shame her for this is victim-blaming.
Right, now to fix my hair…
11 responses to "On fitting the mould"
The problem with looking perfect is that of course, you will be expected to be like that all the time. And that's a problem since no one has to. Women who dress too well all the time are setting standards that are too high..And not in a good way.
n.Women who like to wear make up and clothes don't ever wonder about the kind of pressure they are putting on others. They are not "looking good" they are just fueling the rat race.
Feminists are spot on.
And you know… Women's magazines are about one third advertising, two third disguised advertising. The funniest thing is that women who work for these magazine get paid to wear and try that stuff. They don't have to pay. Idem for the statrs and celebrities:: eveything they wear has been lent or given. Too bad if some people think it's real.
In fact, I think make up looks much better on men…
[…] infodumping about Doctor Who, either!!) It really made me think. This is far from a new occurrence. That post I wrote the other week in which I mentioned a party that night? As it turned out, I didn't actually even make it there, because everyone had already gone […]
