Lee Camp is: Yet Another American Mistake
A rapid-fire angrily opinionated thought provoking adrenaline rush of verbal fireworks.
Lee Camp Is: Yet Another American Mistake |
American political comic Lee Camp has a late show, but you need to be awake and alert to take it all in. This is a dense, intense essay against all that he sees is wrong in Western culture, largely laid at the door of multinational corporations that on the consumer end are all vacuous cutesy image, driven by marketing, but on the manufacturing end are evil monsters exploiting Third World children and polluting the planet. Along the way he also opines on childhood obsesity, people who believe in UFO landings, the death penalty, bankers, assisted suicides, pro-lifers, so-called Christians who revel in wealth and superiority, Fox News, the medias obsession with the trivial and plenty more betes noire of the American Left. Its broad, but often not as deep as perhaps hed like, with a certain Kevin Turveyesque studenty naivety to some of the arguments that might go roughly along the lines of: You see those looters nicking the tellies.. but I tell you who the real criminals are, the rich, white businessmen in their Armani suits, yeah. That bankers and CEOs are an easy target doesnt mean they arent a worthy one, but at times Camps self-righteousness anger smacks of sloganeering, with only cursory acknowledgement that all of us in the West are, to some degree, compliant in all this. People need to demand better media, is one sample rallying cry, bemoaning the celebrity obsession. But the wealth of evidence is that people dont BUY better media, which is how this all works. So what does that fervent call to demand better media actually mean? Though he rightfully berates the modern generation as a bunch of electronic uberpussies, you suspect his political posturing is just the sort of thing that would appeal to someone who thinks clicking like on a Facebook campaign page is as effective as direct action. But on a comedy level, he is a passionate speaker and an eloquent wordsmith. Electronic uberpussies being just one example of the elegant turns of phrase he liberally drops into his relentless diatribe; mindrape of mediocrity is another. With this subject matter, hes on territory previously covered by the likes of George Carlin and Bill Hicks so no surprise hes not up to the standard of those comedy icons; even if he can sometimes meld the ideology and the comedy together smartly. One example is the slightly hack observation about the bewildering range of toothbrushes, which is seamlessly linked back to his assertions of corporate greed. To break up his super-concentrated monologue, Camp uses some videos of stunts hes done in the streets, which again have mixed results as hes no Michael Moore. Theres nothing particularly funny or telegenic about seeing him hand out bogus literature; although his winding up the Texan government over a death sentence has a savage denouement. Camps dedication to his beliefs is beyond question, and hes clearly an intelligent and fiery campaigner. But for my money, hed be better tackling fewer subjects with more insight and greater scrutiny, rather than trying to attack everything at once, which ultimately ends up as superficial as corporate customer service. |

You have some pretty cool ideas there. I like the idea of making the outside of the stadium to look like a monument.. also like the location idea, but I dont know if there is enough land over there.
A 70k stadium at the RFK grounds or near the new Nationals park would be pretty sweet. I want to say we're near 80k now and I think 10k less would be perfect, espeically if we're ever good again. I was never for a dome, but after going to the Superdome this year and hearing how loud it gets in there, I wouldn't oppose it, but would probably rather a stadium with a retractable roof like AZ.
I thought the lease was up in 2027. is that wrong? 15 more years?
1. Has to be in dc
2. Has to be metro accessible ( big factor for superbowl bid)
3. 65- 70k
4. Natural grass retractable roof
5. Maximize accoustics and have the steepet sloping stands in the league. Build up not out so it feels like ur on top of th field. All should help with noise.
Most importantly the tailgate!!....
Because its in dc parking will be limited, but should promote metro use. Limited parking should be sold priority to season ticket holdrs and not many cash lots. This will make the smaller parking lot almost exclusive to serious regular tailgaters.
Everyone else will be encouraged to go to numerous bars just outside the stadium. Imagine a strip of bars sorrounding the stadium with no cars. Open container is allowed. A french quarter if u will around our stadium. Bands, televisions, food the works. And since its on stadium property this is a a great opportunity for dan to make his money back off lost revenues from smller stadium and less parking cha ching$$$ id also prefer the corporate branding to be done here instead of in the stadium as much is possible. Furthermore fans without tickets would flock there to tailgate and watch the game. I envision the best and most convenient tailgate and post gme party in the league. Hoards of people in packed bars and courtyards just a stones throw away from the game. A home playoff game might have 70k in the stands and an additional 50k in the bars just outside and just as loud.
Thats where i'd start
How much does everybody like paying for PSL's?
If/when theres a new stadium -- I think it will be like 55k plus 15-20k in "premium seats"/club level that cash stays with the Redskins and is not subject to profit sharing.

I'm not a fan of the "Retro-Modern" stadium style you're referring to. It was successful in Baltimore but it fit the context of the city as part of a much larger urban development program. If you want to create an icon for the city it needs to be site and context specific. If anything it would make more sense to build it in a classical style with marble cladding if you want to reference the city's monuments. I however would not suggest that.
I'd personally go the opposite route and build something modern that is conceptually linked to the site. Create a place that residents of D.C. want to visit and utilize on non-game days. Creating an emotional connection with the city is the best way to create a landmark and an icon in my opinion.
Well the majority of stadiums are publicly subsidized so you may not end up paying for it via PSL but local fans will be paying for it one way or another.
I'm currently a graduate Architecture student proposing a thesis on stadium design so I plan on following this thread closely to see what kind of things fans are looking for. Unfortunately my hypothetical stadium is not for the Washington Redskins. =(
Football stadiums are tough because they are so utilitarian and because they all must have the same basic centerpoint. You can a million different things with a baseball stadium, because you can literally change the play dimensions. An NFL stadium must have a 40*120 yard field right smack dab in the middle of it. I'm too lazy to research this, but I would bet money that the NFL dictates how far seats must be from the sidelines and access to tunnels to locker rooms and things like that.
There is little opportunity for whimsy here.
The other issue with a football stadium is scale. Again, a baseball stadium can have less than 45,000 seats and be wildly profitable. A Stadium for the Skins needs at least 65,000 seats to justify its existence and if Danny wants a Super Bowl, it will need to get to 80,000 seats.
Now, you are talking about a rectangle that needs 70K to 80K seats around it. The onyl thing you can really do at that point is a massive cereal bowl or a massive shoebox. All the flourishes have to be on the edges.
The issue specific to DC is location. You simply aren't going to build anything "downtown" and DC simply is not that large a landmass. I guess the RFK stadium location is a good spot in DC, though I don't think you would have much room for parking after building a modern football stadium there.
Reliant Stadium in Houston is in a complex that still houses the decrepit and abandoned Astrodome. What blows me away every time I go there is how tiny the Astrodome is in comparison to Reliant Stadium. The Astrodome was this monstrosity in the 70s and now it looks like a garage next to a modern stadium. I imagine you can't just plop a new stadium in RFK's footprint.
Are there any other feasible locations inside the district?

Yea, the Astrodome was a friggin state when I was a kid, but now its more like an ant hill, comparatively speaking.
Regarding other locations, just don't ask Grimm; we'd be playing along the west coast..
It's so much wrong in this post
First of all, it is much harder getting to FedEx Field than it would be to get to RFK Stadium. The Stadium-Armory Station alone would cut a good chunk of traffic. The fact that it is a two-line station (Orange and Blue) makes it even better.
As far as DC being "rough", the same could be said for Laurel and Columbia (Especially Laurel) But nobody will put a stadium in those "rough areas". Shoot, National's Park is in my neighborhood. I would definitely say that is a "rough" neighborhood, but I rarely hear people complain about it being in that area.
The stadium definitely needs to go where the old RFK stadium is. That is the only place in DC that will be able to handle that. Also, throw me in with the ones who want a lower capicity stadium. A retractable roof and field.....
Speaking of stadium names, I had a dream that Fed Ex Field was renamed to Jack Kent Cooke Stadium at FedEx Field. I like it.
Gone, but not forgotten... RIP RP
An NFL field obviously requires a regulation 100 yard field but so do Soccer Stadiums and there is still quite a variance in design. There is plenty you can do with the design it just becomes a matter of priorities. Maximum capacity or design? What's the budget?
70-80k seats may be necessary for a SB bid. I'm not sure but it seems reasonable. It doesn't necessarily need to be true for the economic feasibility of a stadium however. The ticket sales are a small slice of revenue in comparison to current broadcasting deals. The business model for NFL teams has changed quite a bit and I would not be surprised to see stadiums begin shrinking over the next 20-30 years. Just look at how many stadiums have needed to remove or cover seating to avoid black outs.
A downtown location would likely be more reliant on mass transit such as a metro or even light rail. This could mean major infrastructural adjustments to the city as well. Tailgating is a big part of football culture but it isn't a necessity for stadium design. There are precedents for doing without direct parking.
The architecture firm Populous would be a good place to start for those curious what can be done in stadium design. They do quite a bit of Professional and even National/Olympic stadia around the world.
There is no better site in the DC area than the RFK location. Plenty of land. Two Metro lines within a few blocks and plenty of room for parking.
Id like to have a stadium like Lucas Oil Field with a retractable roof seating around 90,000 with an indoor/outdoor grass field. It would be a multi-stadium as well for Super bowl, Concerts, Olympic events, Motor cross, Wrestling Events, and College Football (Bowl Games). DC is the ideal place but you have to consider not only the land to house the stadium but the parking. I think at one point we wanted to hold the Olympics here in DC but FEDEX field is just too far from the action so the idea was scraped. The location I was looking at was in crime ridden SW Washington were those old abandon warehouses and homes could be knocked down. I would also build a few hotels around the stadium like Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Sheraton...etc. Possibly put a shopping mall there a few years after the Stadium is built.

Nice location in Georgetown. Easy to access public transportation. The first room was not great at the Harbor Suites, but staff changed us to the main building.
The parking garage is horrible. Very small and $30 a day to park.

Close to restaurants, shopping and cinema.
8 blocks to Metro station.
The hotel was okay, but the room, though large, was pretty outdated. Free Internet was a definite plus. The free breakfast was okay though only a cold breakfast was offered. It was conveniently located to restaurants and shopping but a long walk to Metro Station.

Very friendly & helpful staff. Our upgrade at the hotel was FANTASTIC! The hotel didn't even charge us for the upgrade. Our family was very happy!
The AC didn't work very well on the 6th floor but it was 99 degrees outside!
I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to go to Georgetown and wanting a large room or suite at an excellent price. Thank you Priceline.

The Georgia Tech campus is frequently lauded as a friendly place for cyclists, even being named a silver-level Bicycle Friendly University by the League of American Bicyclists last year.
With a growing number of cyclists on campus and May being National Bike Month, now is a good time to be reminded of safety measures all cyclists can take to enhance the safety of themselves, those around them and their equipment.
Last week, the Atlanta City Council approved $2.5 million in funding for bicycle projects during the next two years – many of which will directly border or feed into Georgia Tech's campus.
The Bicycle Infrastructure Improvement Committee, in partnership with Capital Planning and Space Management, released the campus' first Bike Suitability Map this fall.
The map highlights paths of low, medium and high difficulty, as well as campus multi-use paths. It also provides information on Georgia bicycling laws so cyclists can obey the rules of the road. Download or view the map online (pdf).
With the end of another school year and as members move on from Georgia Tech, the Bicycle Infrastructure Improvement Committee (BIIC) seeks new student representatives to contribute their efforts to improving the bicycle climate of campus.

Hello, I have a question regarding the new force commander. I noticed that all space marines have two circles of metal in their heads which I assume must be implants that all space marines have. The old force commander has them, scouts have them, sergeants have them, librarians have them and the sergeant on the original intro movie has them. How come the new Force Commander doesn't have them?
This question is to all you guys who know about Space Marine fluff. Are they all supposed to have these metal implants on their head and is this an oversight or is it actually ok?
Sorry that this is such a minor question, but it's just bugging me.

Viva Las Vegas?
Wendy and her Hot Talk panel, Fox 5′s Dari Alexander, Elle.com's Julia Allison and Micah Jesse debate the biggest headlines of the week.
Is Governor Chris Christie too fat to be president? Is a residency in Las Vegas the right thing for Britney Spears?
Find out what Wendy and her Hot Talk panel think… Do you agree?!
In case you missed me on the Hot Talk panel on "The Wendy Williams Show" a few weeks ago… heeeeeeeere's the clip!
I had sooooo much fun talking Rihanna, Chris Brown, Oprah Winfrey, bisexuality and handfulls more with a FIERY HOT panel of peeps. Now, that's an understatement! Shout out to the amaaaazzzing Wendy Williams Hot Talk panel, including Wendy's niece Alex and television personalities Jeanine Pirro (a former prosecutor/judge) and Chelsea Lately comedienne Loni Love. Shout out to "mai" friend Jeannie Mai who was also in the house for a special shoe segment! Special thanks to Moods of Norway (suit) and Carlo Pazolini (shoes) for styling me (and Urban Outfitters for my "fancy socks").
On her after show, talk show host Wendy Williams dished about her HOT TALK panel, which included myself, Jeanine Pirro, comedian Loni Love, and Wendy's niece Alex.
Then, she dished about meeting me for the first time:
"…and then Micah… I didn't realize that Micah was Micah until I saw a picture of Micah and then I was, like, oh my gosh — do you know how many times I've partied with him? You know, when I go out socially. I didn't know exactly what he did — I'll be honest — because the music is always so loud and the drinks are flowing — but I just knew that he was this cute gay kid, always on the social scene, always dressed very 'Natalie' like he was today. And he wears — I'm surprised he didn't have it on — this diamond tie pin with an "M" and that was the first thing that attracted me to him one day last year or the year before."
I love you, Wendy!
Special style thanks to Moods of Norway and Carlo Pazolini.
Friends, family, celebrities and members of the media joined me in celebrating five years of MicahJesse.com at my big anniversary bash, presented by NIVEA, on Thursday (May 3rd) at Canoe Studios in NYC!
A plethora of stars came out to support, including fellow TV hosts like Carrie Keagan, Rocsi Diaz, and Amanda Seales, reality stars and personalities like "Bachelor" lovebugs Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum, "Mob Wives" star Drita D'Avanzo, "Project Runway" fan favorite Joshua McKinley and stylist-to-the-stars Phillip Bloch, singers like Melanie Fiona and Miguel, and so so so many more!
Red hot female DJs DJ Kiss and DJ Kalkutta kept the energy high all evening long, while guests mixed and mingled, taking photos in the NIVEA kissing photo booth and downing Tic Tac's (in signature MJ colors of course!)
Guests sipped specialty cocktails from Malibu Red and ABSOLUT Vodka and snacked on yummy hor d'oevers and custom cupcakes from Baked By Melissa.

Style éruptif tipique: effusive flank fissure eruptions Eruptions du volcan San Salvador: 1917, 1806 (?), 1671, 1658, 1572 ± 2, ?1200, 640 AD ± 30 years Derniers séismes proches:
Boqueron volcano is truncated by a steep-walled, 500 m deep and 1500 m wide summit crater, which formed during a large eruption about 800 years ago. Before the last eruption in 1917, the crater of Boqueron contained a 400 m wide lake, which was replaced by a small, 30 m high young cinder cone, called Boqueroncito, built during the eruption along with a major lava flow on the north flank. Most historical eruptions from San Salvador originated from flank vents. Introduction:The San Salvador or Quezaltepeque volcanic center formed in the southern part of the main graben of El Salvador and is dominantly andesitic. 3 fracture zones that extend beyond the base of San Salvador volcano have been the locus for numerous flank eruptions, including 2 that formed maars on the WNW and SE sides.Most of the 4 historical eruptions recorded since the 16th century have originated from flank vents, including two eruptions in the 17th century from the NW-flank cone of El Playón, during which explosions and a lava flow damaged inhabited areas. 1999 unrest
A small seismic swarm occurred in August 1999, when volcano-tectonic earthquakes about 5 km from the crater were detected. No other signs of unrest were noted. 1917 eruption
The last eruption of San Salvador volcano began on 6 June 1917 following strong and destructive earthquakes lasting for 2 hours. The eruption consisted of an effusive fissure eruption on the NW flank followed by a moderately explosive summit eruption (similar, but smaller in scale, to the Eyafjallajökull eruption in 2010). The effusive phase produced a large aa lava flow on the NW flank, left a row of cinder cones on the eruptive fissure, and lasted about a week. The second phase started simultaneously with the waning of the waning of the first phase from a fissure vent inside the summit crater. It quickly evaporated a former 400 m wide lake and built the small Boqueroncito cinder cone. ...plus |

Nice layout. Simple and not overloaded.
BTW, what modeling agency did the babes come from? Personally, "beautiful people" clipart annoys me.
I agree with ctcrmcou on the layout. The graphics are fine by me. The only nitpick I have is that the menu colors seem misleading. You have "Members" in gray on the home page. It gave me the impression that I was on the Members page, but as I clicked the other menu links, the perceived "you are here" effect did not change styling on any of the menu links. It took a few clicks for me to realize that you've grayed it out to mean "don't click here". I would remove it from the menu if users can't click it.

This week begins a new session of poi classes at Contradiction Dance in Silver Spring. I have to admit that as a teacher I was spoiled rotten by the kids I taught in Kenya, whose focus and discipline was incredibly inspiring. Fortunately, the first class we had last night was just as inspiring! This session in addition to focusing on plane control and adding to our catalog of tricks like normal, I've added partner poi to the syllabus. Partner poi has seen some huge advances in the past year and presents some unique and interesting challenges for us.

background-repeat property
Specifies whether and how the background image (or images) is tiled.
background-repeat: repeat-x | repeat-y | [ repeat | space | round | no-repeat ] {1,2} [ , repeat-x | repeat-y | [ repeat | space | round | no-repeat ] {1,2} ]*
Property values
Single values have the following meanings:
Image is repeated horizontally. Equivalent to "repeat no-repeat".
Image is repeated vertically. Equivalent to "no-repeat repeat".
Initial value. Image is repeated horizontally and vertically. Equivalent to "repeat repeat".
Equivalent to "space space".
Equivalent to "round round".
Image is not repeated. Equivalent to "no-repeat no-repeat".
Property values
If two keywords are specified, the first one is for the horizontal direction, and the second one is for the vertical direction, as follows:
The image is repeated in this direction as often as needed to cover the background painting area.
The image is repeated as often as will fit within the background positioning area without being clipped, and then the images are spaced out to fill the area. The first and last images touch the edges of the area. If the background painting area is larger than the background positioning area, then the pattern repeats to fill the background painting area. The value of the background-position property for this direction is ignored, unless there is not enough space for two copies of the image in this direction, in which case only one image is placed and background-position determines its position in this direction.
The image is repeated as often as will fit within the background positioning area. If it doesn't fit a whole number of times, it is rescaled so that it does. See the formula in remarks for the background-size property. If the background painting area is larger than the background positioning area, then the pattern repeats to fill the background painting area.
The image is placed once and not repeated in this direction.
CSS information
Applies To | All elements |
Media | visual |
Inherited | no |
Initial Value | repeat |
Standards information
- CSS 2.1, Section 5.3.4
The repeat-x and repeat-y values make the image repeat horizontally and vertically, respectively, creating a single band of images from one end to the other.
This property can be set with other background properties by using the background composite property.
In Windows Internet Explorer 9, the background of a box can have multiple layers. The number of layers is determined by the number of comma-separated values in the background-image property. Each of the images is sized, positioned, and tiled according to the corresponding value in the other background properties (background-attachment, background-clip, background-origin, background-position, background-repeat, and background-size). The first image in the list is the layer closest to the user, the next one is painted behind the first, and so on.
The following example uses the repeat-y keyword to tile an image vertically.
body { background: lightgray url("fencing.png"); background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: center; }
The following example uses the space keyword to tile an image so that it covers the entire body element, with each image equally spaced from one another.
body { background-image: url(greendot.png) lightgray; background-repeat: space }
The following examples use the background-repeat CSS property and the backgroundRepeat scripting property to specify whether the background image is tiled.
This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to tile the image.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/background-repeat.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>   <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title>MyBackgroundRepeat</title>     . . .
This example shows how to use inline scripting to tile the image.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/backgroundRepeat.htm

Currently in her 10th season at Cal, Sara Nevin has led the novice crew to the top of the Pac-10. In 2004, the Golden Bears' novice eight captured the Pac-10 crown for the first time since 1989. Cal's 2008 novice eight capped off an undefeated season with an open-water victory at the Pac-10 Championships. The Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association acknowledged her ability and success by naming her the 2008 CRCA Assistant Coach of the Year as well as the 2008 CRCA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year.
Nevin has shown the ability to cultivate novice rowers into competitive oarswomen. Many of her rowers have moved up the ranks to contribute to the varsity's success. The class of 2005 was Nevin's first crew at Cal, and this group of seniors provided the leadership for the 2005 NCAA Championship team.
Nevin joined the Bears in 2002 after serving as the executive director and head coach at the Lake Lanier Rowing Club in Gainesville, Ga. During her five years in Georgia, Nevin coached all levels of rowers from beginners to U.S. national team members. In addition to her coaching, Nevin acted as the full-time boathouse and rowing club director, as well as Regatta Director for the NCAA Women's Rowing Championships in 1998 and 2001.
Before arriving at Lake Lanier, Nevin spent seven years coaching in Seattle, Wash. Between 1989-92, Nevin coached at the Seattle Training Center, coaching a group of elite and pre-elite rowers. Her stint culminated with all eight women earning spots on the 1992 Olympic team. From 1990-96, Nevin also coached the varsity boys rowing team at the Mount Baker Rowing Club. There, Nevin grew a program of 16 athletes to over 50 and won four USRowing Junior National Championships, including the school-boys' eight in 1991 and 1993.
Nevin earned a B.A. in political science with a minor in pre-medicine from the University of Washington in 1985. During her rowing career at UW, Nevin won three varsity eight national championships between 1983-85 and was undefeated in U.S. collegiate competition. She was a member of the U.S. national team in 1985 and '86.

ZF-11064: logUntranslated cause always write to cache
When setting the config option "logUntranslated" to true, all untranslated are writte to the specified logger like expected.
BUT in Zend_Translate_Adapter, method setOptions (line 331): in the foreach the variable $change is set always true, so a write to the cache is performed.
See attachments for more information (profiler and patch)
The method setOptions() is called only once... by the constructor of the translation adapter. See line 177.
When the method is called multiple times within your environment it would mean that you are creating multiple adapters by calling the constructor multiple times.
The second thing to mention is that the cache is only written when a option has been changed and this option is not 'locale'. See the lines 340 and 342.
Closing as non-reproduceable Feel free to reopen when you have new informations which allow reproduction of the problem
The responsible key is "log" not locale, that the variable $change is set always to true (see my attached patch).
The __construct() is only called only one time.
This seems to be the problem: The option "logUntranslated" is set to true in my options and in this profiler screenshots is a untranslated string. So the log writer will write the untranslated string to the logfile (which is a change...), but for the cache nothing has really changed (but it gets written new for nothing).
The problem is not that __construct() is called only once. Calling it multiple times would mean to create multiple instances of Zend_Translate.
Also your pictures do not show that the cache is written multiple times. It is only written once after __construct() has been called.
With actual informations I can not reproduce that the cache is written every time when an untranslated string has been added to the log.
It seems we missunderstood each other.
The cache is not written multiple times, it's only writte once per request.
the write to the cache is not necessary, because the translation content itself has not changed! Why should the cache get written, only because a log entry is written somewhere else?
Fixed in ZF2 with GH-298

Diesel price for bulk consumers like railways has been hiked by almost a rupee per litre, while the price of cooking gas (LPG) is cut by Rs37.50 a cylinder that consumers buy beyond their quota of subsidised bottles.
Neither the retail prices of diesel sold through petrol pumps nor rates for subsidised LPG cylinders has been changed.
The government had in January allowed state-owned oil firms to sell diesel to all consumers taking supplies from their installations at market price.
Pursuant to the decision, oil companies sold diesel to bulk consumers like Defence, Railways and State Road Transport Corporations at a rate of Rs58.58 per litre as compared to Rs48.16 per litre price of the fuel at petrol pumps in Delhi.
Industry sources said the oil firms yesterday hiked the price of diesel for the bulk consumers by 94 paisa, excluding local sales tax or VAT. The actual increase for consumers will be up to Rs1.25 per litre.
The hike in bulk diesel price was necessitated by the firming up of international oil rates. This has led to loss on diesel sold through petrol pumps rising to Rs11.26 per litre from Rs10.72 last month.
Also, oil companies cut the price of cooking gas (LPG) that consumers will have to buy beyond their quota of 9 subsidised cylinders in a year. The non-subsidised LPG will cost Rs904.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder as against Rs942 a bottle previously.
Just yesterday, the oil companies had raised petrol price by Rs 1.40 a litre, excluding VAT on firming global oil rates. The hike in Delhi translated into Rs 1.68 and petrol now costs Rs 70.74 a litre in the national capital.
Together with Rs 1.50 per litre hike in rates effected from February 16, petrol price have been raised by about Rs3 per litre in two weeks.
Sources said oil firms continue to incur a loss of Rs439 on sale of every 14.2-kg cylinder at subsidised rate of Rs410.50 in Delhi. On kerosene, they lose Rs33.43 per litre and will end the fiscal with a loss of Rs163,500 crore on fuel sales

PORTLAND -- Tribal Elder Kathryn Harrison stood among Oregon's leading "History Makers" on Thursday, Sept. 27, at the Oregon Historical Society on the park blocks in Portland, where she received one of four awards presented to well-known Oregonians.
Former Secretary of State Norma Paulus, Gerry Frank, former chief of staff for Sen. Mark Hatfield, and former Portland Trailblazers President Harry Glickman also were "History Makers" recipients at the society's fourth annual awards banquet and fundraiser.
The society's executive director, Kerry Tymchuk, said that the award winners make up "the Oregon Hall of Fame. They're contributors to Oregon history in their time – living legends."
"Nobody has shown more grit," Tymchuk said in introducing Harrison. "And today, she continues to show consistency and love in the presence of animosity. Kathryn's path was clear early in her life, but it took a long time to fulfill."
"My parents instilled pride in us," Harrison said in accepting the award. "The first 10 years gave me the hope and pride I would need for the rest of my life. And I knew how to pray."
So, when trouble came, Harrison said, "I knew I had to stand up."
Tymchuk described Harrison's visits to Washington, D.C., with family and other Tribal members in the effort to restore the Grand Ronde Tribe in the eyes of the federal government. He praised her persistence over the years.
"I have such respect for Kathryn Harrison," said former Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, who attended with his wife, Mary Oberst. "Kathryn is one of those people who would be a leader in anything she did."
"Kathryn personifies for me the quality of leadership that we see in Tribal women today," said former Oregon Congresswoman Elizabeth Furse. "She is a heroine to me (because she) has done so much for her Tribe."
"It's a great honor for Kathryn to be here," said Tribal Chairman Reyn Leno, who attended with his wife, Liz. "Her being the first Native American honored by the Oregon Historical Society."
"This is a very proud moment for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde," said Tribal Council member Jon A. George, who attended the event with his wife, Lynn. "For such a prestigious organization to recognize a Tribal member … It's an honor to know Kathryn and if I could follow her example, in just a small way … what a great example she is. It's an honor to be part of this special occasion."
Oregon's newest congresswoman, Suzanne Bonamici, also attended and offered congratulations to Harrison and the Tribe. "There are lessons we can learn from people who have overcome adversities. The way (Harrison) has, this is well-deserved recognition."
Harrison joins such other Oregon History Makers as movie director Gus Van Sant (2011). Previous winners David Adelsheim (2010), author Jean Auel (2010) and Dr. Albert Starr (2011) attended the evening's event.
From the Tribal community, Harrison was joined by her daughter, Tribal Elder Patsy Pullin, of Carson City, Nev., who said, "Each time I attend one of these awards, and there have been many, it just makes me very, very proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life."
"All Tribes should take pride in Kathryn receiving this award," said Kulongoski.
"I'm 88 years old," Harrison told the audience of more than 250, "and I'm still trying to make my life pleasing to my parents, my God and my Tribe. I'm so honored."
Also on hand for the award ceremony were Spirit Mountain Community Fund Director Kathleen George and her husband, Rick; Community Fund Board Chair Sho Dozono and his wife, Loen; Community Fund Program Coordinator Louis King; Antoinette Hatfield; former Congresswoman Darlene Hooley; Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler and his wife, Katrina; and Oregon Historian Laureate Tom Vaughan.
The next night, at the Governor Hotel in Portland, Harrison accepted the 2012 Betty Roberts Woman in Leadership Award, the third annual Woman of the Year event hosted by Emerge Oregon, a Portland-based training program for Democratic women. Roberts was the first woman to serve on Oregon's Supreme Court.
At Emerge Oregon, a Tribal drum group including Tribal Elder Dolores Parmenter, Greg Archuleta, Eric Bernando and his mother, Tribal Elder Debi Anderson, and Jordan Mercier performed in Harrison's honor.

The best part of the feminization training is the reward. Mrs Loving always rewards her sissies with a long slow milking session. If it's the sissies first session she will often put her panties over the nose and face of her sissy as an extra special reward. She tells them to sniff her panty warm and wet panty gusset while she enjoys playing with their clitty cocks.
She uses lubricant when she milks her sissies because it feels like the inside of a wet pussy. She strokes and rubs their cocks telling them how pretty and girly they are and hot hot she gets playing with their bodies. She tells them how precious they are while she rubs their cocks faster milking them.
She can feeling when the sissy cream is going to spirt and she strokes faster telling them to breath deeplt into her panty gusset. They begin to pulse and throb. The cream is on the way. She keeps stroking until all the cream has spurted. She cuddles her sissy until she is relaxed.

Oh, also
While seeing The Avengers for the fifth time last night (yes, it still holds up beautifully, and yes, I still get that smile on my face when Banner says "I'm always angry" that doesn't go away until about 20 minutes after the movie ends, and yes, I may have a problem), I noticed something. I'd always been annoyed that Black Widow has her Widow Sting gauntlets but never seemed to use them. Last night, it clicked— that one scene where the Chitauri has her pinned down on the hood of a taxi, I'd always thought that she reached around and pulled something out of the back of its neck to kill it, but I finally noticed that the blue glow was actually her Widow Stinging it unconscious/dead.
This makes me unreasonably happy.

Brazil wants to restrict strikes in public sector
* Rousseff decides to act after crippling stoppages
* Unions vow to fight curbs on their right to strike
* Civil servants seen as lazy, overpaid
By Anthony Boadle and Alonso Soto
BRASILIA, Oct 5 (Reuters) - President Dilma Rousseff wants to regulate strikes by public workers after a series of walkouts by civil servants in recent months paralyzed public services across Brazil.
But the plans, in proposals that could soon be presented to Congress, are drawing fire from unions and labor activists - a constituency that helped put Rousseff into office and that long has formed the bedrock of the ruling Workers' Party.
The strikes that started in May by civil servants, ranging from university professors to customs and health inspectors to Brazil's federal police force, so crippled public services that Rousseff wants to better define who can strike and when, and establish collective-bargaining mechanisms to head off future stoppages.
"The 1988 Constitution guarantees the right to strike, but no law was adopted to implement that right," said Sergio Mendonca, the civil service labor relations secretary, in an interview. "We're not just going to consider strikes but also dialogue, because the government is not shutting out dialogue."
The plan has angered union bosses, who accuse the president of turning her back on the labor movement that helped put the leftist Workers' Party in power in 2003.
"Our agenda is being overlooked in favor of the agenda of the business class," said Vagner Freitas de Moraes, head of CUT, an umbrella group that represents over 7 million union workers, including 770,000 federal government employees.
"President Dilma should watch out for the interests of the working class, especially those sectors of the working class that provided the political support for her to come to office," Moraes told Reuters.
The four-month wave of strikes at universities and gradually crippled other federal offices, including the central bank, the tax-collection office and the national statistics agency. Brazil's already congested airports and ports faced greater delays, medicine imports stalled and fertilizer supplies crucial to grain exports sat for weeks off-shore on ships waiting to dock.
Mendonca said police and other armed forces could have their right to strike restricted by the government's plans, possibly requiring them to hand over their weapons when they walk out.
While details are still being worked out, Mendonca said the new regulations will establish which workers can strike, as well as when and how, so that their stoppages do not hurt the public interest. Health workers, for example, might be required to always have a skeleton staff on duty so urgent care is not disrupted.
In a tense moment during the recent stoppages, striking policemen clashed with military police outside the president's office and were dispersed with tear gas. Protesters erected barricades outside ministry buildings.
Unions are particularly miffed at Rousseff because her predecessor and mentor, former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, built the Workers' Party around his past as a labor leader and icon of the country's massive working class.
Things have changed since Lula was in office, though.
During his eight-year administration, Brazil's economy - buoyed by a global commodities boom - grew by an annual average of more than 4 percent. Soaring tax revenues enabled Lula to grant generous pay hikes, nearly tripling the federal payroll and using up funds that critics said should have been invested instead in Brazil's dilapidated infrastructure and other economic bottlenecks.
But Rousseff, Lula's hand-picked successor, has had to shift course. As the commodities boom eased and Europe's debt crisis led to a global slowdown, Brazil's economy has stagnated.
Rousseff rejected pay rises sought by the unions totaling 98 billion reais ($49 billion).
"The scenario had changed," Mendonca said. "It was unreasonable for the unions to make pay demands as high as they had done 10 years before."
Rousseff made the unions a take-it-or-leave-it offer of 15.8 percent over three years, just enough to keep up with inflation.
With little public sympathy for their cause, most strikers accepted the offer and went back to work, except for tax inspectors and federal police officers, who are holding out for pay hikes of more than 100 percent.
Brazilians are likely to back Rousseff in any effort to regulate strike action by government employees.
Even before the recent protests, civil servants were deemed by most in Brazil to enjoy salaries, pensions, job security and other benefits far superior to many workers in the private sector. Demand for their jobs is such that tens of thousands of applicants exist for every opening.
Several proposals to reform Brazil's decades-old labor laws have been gathering dust in Congress for years, opposed by the unions and blocked by legislators who represent them.
But after the recent disruptions to public services drew widespread condemnation from citizens, the government is confident it now has the political capital to pass a bill regulating labor relations with civil servants.
However much unions protest this time, they are unlikely to win enough public support to derail Rousseff's efforts.
"Brazilians have an image of the civil servant as someone who works little and earns a lot," said André Cesar, a political consultant with Prospectiva, a public policy think tank in Brasília, the capital. "These strikes reinforced that view."

Feb 3, 2010
But when should they utilise utilise? -
Feb 3, 2010
Is actually a fine word, but it tends to vex when my students use it to sound more grandiose -
Oct 10, 2008
Why do you ask, jennarennpicklemistressofthesaltplains? -
Nov 2, 2007
Who says that nicknames have to be short? I'd argue that it can be long with a nice flow. -
use it. Oct 31, 2007
Even if that were to happen, I still wouldn't -
That would, in fact, utilize "utilize." Oct 31, 2007 -
rule of thumb. Oct 31, 2007
Well said. That is a good -
Instead of "use active voice rather than passive", I would suggest "always make the most important noun in the sentence be the subject." This puts the emphasis of the sentence where it belongs. Of course, this often does correlate to using active voice, but not always.
For instance, I would argue that "the document was signed this afternoon" is better than "the managers signed the document this afternoon" in cases where no one really cares *who* signed it nearly as much as they care that the document has finally been signed. On the other hand, if we were wondering whether it was signed by the managers themselves or by some proxy, the latter would probably be a better sentence. The subject is the focus of the sentence, and as such it should involve the noun that the sentence is meant to tell us about.
Oct 31, 2007 -
Oct 31, 2007
Haha, aren't nicknames supposed to be short? Few words are as awkward to type as "uselessness," but well, you found one. I can fully understand people shortening it to just u. ;-) -
One thing that makes me wince is when beginning writers think they have to keep coming up with new synonyms for "said" in order to vary word choice, and aforementioned synonyms don't exactly fit with what is happening in the story. Small and common words like "said" are, in fact, invisible-- no one will notice if you repeat them, but they sure as heck will notice if you have to resort to "expounded" or somesuch. Some words are simply so common that people don't notice their being repeated; what one wants to avoid repeating is unusual words and especially descriptive ones. I.e. don't describe every blue thing in the story as "azure", and, for that matter, don't tack on "big" before every noun in your description (I once tutored a student who did that, and while "big" is fairly common, it was still noticeable that she had to keep telling us of the bigness of every object in the house. It started to feel like a fairy tale about giants after a while.)
Oct 31, 2007 -
implement doesn't belong on cringeworthy corporate buzzwords, though. Oct 31, 2007
I'm not so sure that -
Oct 31, 2007
I've always been glad you didn't choose utilizelessness. :-) -
utilizes to accomplish that is another. The best way to avoid saying use over and over is to structure sentences differently, perhaps with different tenses. "Use" is so generic anyway, which makes for poor writing in the first place.
Ugh. Variation in writing is one thing; throwing around extraneous
It's similar to the "be" verb rule: Always avoid using being, is, was, are, am, and been. Active voice is always preferable. Finally, if you do have to find a synonym for "use," try implement, activate, apply, or some other more descriptive verb.
Hmmm... perhaps I've found a second meaning for my username? Oct 31, 2007 -
Oct 31, 2007
I seem to remember being told to "vary" our language when writing. We were tought that you shouldn't overly use words like "use", and should use synonyms, like "utilize". -
Oct 30, 2007
If it does more than substitute for "use", why can't anyone point out exactly what it is doing? My boyfriend said the same thing, that he found it useful (utilizeful? =P) and yet was not able to pinpoint/explain what he thought the difference was. I'll believe and embrace the distinction when someone explains to me what it is. -
But it is funny. Think I'll give it a shot one day. Oct 17, 2007 -
In that sense I think it has comic potential. For example, if I were to go into the office next door to mine and ask if I could utilize the stapler, I think that would be funny. Most people, though, would probably think I was being a jerk. Oct 17, 2007 -
Oct 17, 2007
True. Although I always have to think for five minutes to remember how to pronounce it. -
inutile Oct 17, 2007
You know what word is nice, though? -
Oct 17, 2007
Nope. It's just too ugly. ;-) -
Oct 17, 2007
"Utilize" could be "to infuse with utility; to increase the utility of something -
Jan 19, 2007
I'm really surprised at how many people hate this word. I think it's so much more than a substitution for "use." -
Dec 24, 2006
I utilize my delete key every time I see this "word." -
Dec 8, 2006
All it simply does is make 'use' sound scientific. Jacques Barzun once wrote about the wretchedness of '-ize' words.

Forums >General Running>New and improved Saturday Penguins!
Danger makes me hungry
The "Penguin" daily threads were originally conceived to emphasize that all members of the community have a place on the boards. Encouragement, motivation, a little love nip (you will love one, give it a try!) or even a little kick in the pants when needed -- it can happen here. Basically, we celebrate just getting out there and moving our tails! What is "slow"? "Slow" is a perception but one of the common benchmarks is the 10:00/mi pace; but there's no firm line. In fact, there are many of us that have slipped past this, and just hope that no one notices and revokes their "igloo privileges." It can be confusing for the forum newbies, but we're not one of the teams in any of the fine games. It's a totally open group, so stop lurking, post an introduction of yourself dive in and join the fun! No application necessary! There might even be a lovely picture for Scotty (we love pics!)
Moving forward one step at a time :-)
Time to enjoy the fast loading, spam free environment!

Thanks for starting us off gus! I hope some RA members join our penguin group.
AFM im resting my right knee as my ITB has flared again. Ive taken 3 days off and will attempt trails tomorrow morning with my trails group. My injury has come at a terrible time as I have eaten my weight in thanksgiving food and really need to run "this" off. Ugh. Ha.

Hey, all! I used to post in the Penguins threads on RWOL a few years ago, then migrated over to the Trail Forum. The trailers are very, very quiet here, so I thought I'd poke my head in and say hi to the penguins.
3 miles today, nothing special either way, although one hip has been bothering me a little. I'm hoping it's shoe-related and will clear up when the shoes I ordered the other day get here.
Thanks for the start, Gustav, and hope your ITB problems clear up soon, tracilynn!
Wouldn't this (social) topic be better off in the "BF and Beyond" user group rather than here in a running topic area?
I see "daily" threads started in Running 101, General Running and in the BF group....just wondering how this is going to play out, and still make it easy and comfortable for people to post running questions and running topics amongst the social ones.
You're just confusing the crap out of me, and my tired old brain can't figure out what's going on...

Thanks for posting this. We have been discussing how to move out of our little corner and fit in without offending anyone. Give us a couple of days to get this figured out.
So I guess the question arises - where should this thread go. I thought putting it here would also open it to new people so we wouldn't be segregated. Any thoughts?
Traclynn - did you see that ITB info I had posted? I can repost it if you need it. My wife and another couple dressed as Kiss for a Halloween party. We even sang Rock and Roll All Night karaoke style!
Hi Pens. I, too, followed the bread crumbs over here. I hope to see many of the others at some point.
Traci: I feel your pain! I have been obsessively stretching and rolling my ITB and only just the other day had my first pain free run in a while. Six miles! It felt great. I hope you get better. I think rest is also important.

Gustav, yes thank you for the article and the stretch. That pigeon stretch is one of my faves and Im pretty sure I have read every single article there is about ITBS. I do my mrtyl hip/ core exercises, foam roll, stretch, ice, rest, shoes, inserts, less than 10% rule, etc etc etc etc and it still flares up. Im starting to think I have some kind of skeletal deformity or something. Ugh. Thanks though.
Hey jack! Glad to hear you were able to run 6! Thats great!
Morning Penguins! Another SRD for me. Still a little sore from my race Thursday, but I'll get back on the wagon tomorrow. Did go for a long, brisk walk with my boyfriend and his dog this morning though. Nice to see some of you over here!

Bad Ass
Hi, Penguins! So many here already. Spam over there sucks monkey balls. Fuck.
I am allowed to say fuck, right? I like this place already!
12 miles with 4 @ MP this morning while watching the sunrise and running on the beach at South Beach. I had not done that in a while. Very nice to get out of my regular routes.
Have a great day!

DW and i ran a quick 5 this morning after 2 RD's. Rationalized that we deserved it after 10 mile PR on Wednesday. Coldest run yet, but no wind. Hoping to stay away from tracks as long as possible.
Have to browse RA sometime and see what's here. Still using daily mile for logging runs.
Have a great weekend Penguins.
