SOURCE: Central Brace & Limb
Provider of orthotics and prosthetics in the Central Indiana area fitted a patient with a Michelangelo myoelectric hand prosthesis in November 2012
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) December 13, 2012
Central Brace & Limb of the Central Indiana area recently fitted a patient with a Michelangelo hand prosthesis. The Michelangelo hand is a myoelectric hand developed by Otto Bock, a German prosthetic company responsible for many extraordinary innovations in prosthetic devices. Myoelectric devices are particularly promising because they use the electrical activity in the patient's skeletal muscles to control the prosthetic device, which produces a more realistic movement that is not controlled with switches or other mechanical devices. Less than 100 people around the world have been fitted with the Michelangelo hand.
The Michelangelo hand has active movement in the thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger. The ring finger and little "pinky" finger are controlled by the movement of the other fingers. The active movement of three fingers provides more options for grip than previous prostheses. Overall, there are seven different positions that can utilize myoelectric control. Additionally, the wrist can be repositioned, offering a more natural and comfortable position.
The appearance of the Michelangelo hand is far more lifelike and natural than some existing prostheses, and multiple skin tones are available. Additionally, the materials were selected to mimic the feel of a real hand.
With innovations like the extraordinary and relatively rare Michelangelo hand, Central Brace & Limb continues to provide extraordinary patient care.

About Central Brace & Limb Co.:

1. | shipping | ||
A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".) It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.
AMshipping AM-shipping AM shipping Ash & Misty shipping Ashistyshipping |
shipping videos | |||
2. | shipping | ||
Fandom uses this word as a verb to denote their interest in the possible (and perhaps more often impossible) romantic relationship between two characters in a piece of fiction belonging to any medium. It's really never used in a platonic way, but if it ever is, people tend to separately emphasize that they are using it platonically. Usually written: Character/Character or CharacterxCharacter. Fanfiction without any shipping, or with little emphasis on ship is usually labeled genfic, which there is a depressing lack of. Person 1: It is a little weird how much I am retroactively shipping DoogiexVinnie.
Person 2: Yeah. That's kinda damaged. And Vinnie's like a little weasel. He's got a weasel face. Person 1: But did you notice how weirdly gay they are for each other??? Person 2: No. Eww. Stop talking. |
3. | shipping | ||
In fanfic, putting characters into a romantic relationship, such as writing Ash + Misty from Pokemon as a couple. Often plays on perceived chemistry between characters in the original series. Abbreviated form of the word relationshipping. These fanfics are just a load of shipping. There's no plot...
4. | Shipping | ||
This is most ofter used on tumblr by fandoms. Fandoms will ship everything and anything. Shipping comes from the word relationSHIP. Basically it is when you want a fictional character, real-life person, or cartoon people to be together. People often write fanfictions about their favorite ship, called their OTP. Person 1: Wow I totally ship michellie!!
Person 2: OH MY GOD NO I SHIP DELLIE!! Person 3: wait how can you ship a person isn't that illegal to send them with UPS or something? Person 2: No i want them as a couple. It's called Shipping. |
5. | shipping | ||
The act of pairing any two characters together. Lonely people do this to try to suppress their own loneliness. It usually leads to making terrible fan art. "Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are friends, they should date!" - a deviantard
"i love shipping narutoXgoku cuz i no they wuld b a gr8 couple and theyr hot" - another deviantard |
6. | shipping | ||
Also, can be made from inanimate objects. Almost anything can be "shipped". Puzzleshipping, Shinigamishipping, Bleachshipping, Breadshipping.

Bunn BX
If I only make one pot of coffee per day, in the morning, will I have an issue with the water not being hot?
Free shipping on orders over $50. No sales tax!
This Package Includes:
Essential Info:
When you find yourself running late in the morning, the Bunn BX Classic Brewer can help ease some of the stress. With an internal thermostat and efficient pourover system that always keeps water at an ideal temperature for brewing, the BX can brew up to 10 cups of coffee in three minutes or less. This coffee maker features classic styling with an attractive black or white exterior and stainless steel accents. Since it is equipped with a stainless steel tank and a sprayhead that is designed for efficiency, the BX Classic will produce hot coffee that pleases your taste buds. This machine is also ideal for dispensing hot water for tea or hot chocolate.
Once you take a little time to set up the Bunn Classic Brewer, it is simple to make great-tasting coffee from then on. Before you brew your first pot of coffee, you need to prepare the coffee maker for future use. Follow the initial set up guide included in the user's manual, which includes filling the machine with cold water and waiting 15 minutes for the water in the tank to heat.
After the BX Classic is prepped for use, it will brew 10 cups of coffee in 3 minutes. This coffee maker is designed to stay on all the time, so the water is always at the ideal brewing temperature of 200° F. However, when you won't be using the machine for more than 3 days, don't forget to use the rocker switch on the left side of the base to shut off all of the electrical components. Remember: when you are ready to use the BX again, it will take another 15 minutes for the water in the tank to be heated to the brewing temperature.
Closing the top lid on the BX Classic gives the machine the signal to start brewing, so just be sure that the brew funnel and 50 oz decanter are in place before you close it. While the coffee is being brewed, hot water that has been stored in the tank is pushed through the filter and the newest water remains in the tank to be heated for the next time you brew. This coffee maker also has a lighted On/Off switch at the top of the front panel which controls the porcelain-coated warming plate.
It only takes 3 minutes to make a pot of coffee with the Bunn BX Classic Brewer, and with its internal thermostat and unique pourover system, this coffee maker always delivers a great-tasting brew. You can also enhance the coffee's flavor even more by grinding fresh beans just before brewing and adjusting the amount of coffee.
The Bunn BX Classic Brewer has a no-nonsense look about it with its sturdy, built-to-last exterior that is available in black or white.Both models have stainless steel accents. The front of the coffee maker is neat and clean with just one lighted On/Off switch, which controls the porcelain-coated warming plate. The machine's sturdy, stainless steel tank and sprayhead ensure that the BX Classic Brewer delivers the best coffee possible.
The 50-oz carafe that accompanies the BX Classic is imprinted with fluid level indicator lines that are easy to read.The carafe's lid reduces coffee evaporation and retains heat. To enjoy the maximum taste from your coffee, it is recommended that it remain in this carafe for no more than 20 to 30 minutes. It is also important to clean this container every day so acids and other organic materials that can ruin the taste of coffee do not accumulate on the walls or bottom of the carafe.
The BX's 800-watt boiler maintains the water you use for brewing at just the right temperature for making high quality coffee.This boiler, equipped with a high-grade internal thermostat, is so effective that you can count on this coffee maker to brew a pot of coffee in just 3 minutes because hot water is always available.
Hot Plate:
The Bunn BX Classic Brewer is equipped with a 46-watt warmer, which keeps your coffee ready to drink.The porcelain-coated warmer is controlled by an On/Off switch, which is located on the front of the coffee maker. The coffee will retain its flavor for about 20 to 30 minutes on the warmer, but it is recommended that you remove the pot from the warmer and transfer the coffee into a thermal carafe if you plan to keep the brewed coffee for a longer period of time.
The BX Brewer's reservoir is located at the top of the coffee maker, so it's easy to fill.To begin the brewing process, just lift the lid that covers the reservoir and pour from 20 to 50 oz of water into the machine. Place the carafe on the base and close the lid, which will start the flow of water into the tank. Also be careful to keep the lid closed when the coffee maker is not being used because if the lid is left open, water could drip from the sprayhead when cold water is poured in.
Water Filtration:
There is no water filtration system on the BX Classic Brewer so it is important to use water that does not contain excessive amounts of sediment and chemicals. If you do not have a water filtration system in your home, you may want to use bottled water or attach a filter to your tap.
Coffee Filter:
The Bunn BX Classic Brewer uses a filter that is made with a special grade of paper and oxygen processed for the best-tasting coffee possible. This filter can be re-ordered through Bunn or on our Accessories page.
The Bunn BX comes with a deliming tool and 20 paper filters. To keep minerals from building up in the Bunn BX Brewer's sprayhead, it is recommended that you use the deliming tool supplied with the machine on a regular basis. This long flexible metal rod is inserted into the sprayhead. The frequency of the deliming process will depend on the mineral content of your water, and a calendar to help you keep track of these cleanings is included with the BX Brewer. Complete instructions on how to disassemble the sprayhead and use the deliming tool are also included with this coffee maker. The Bunn BX also comes with 20 fluted paper filters too.

Simple, Simple Simple. It is great having the ability to brew hot coffee in about 2 1/2 minutes anytime I want. The only thing I need to do is put coffee in the brew basket, lift the lid on top of the brewer, pour water in, close the lid and I am brewing. The tank holds plenty of hot water all the time unless I choose to shut the internal heating element off. I noticed that when I have turned the tank heater back on it takes about 7 to 9 minutes for the tank to heat to brew temperature.
If I only make one pot of coffee per day, in the morning, will I have an issue with the water not being hot?
MikeR I guess I don't totally understand the question. DO you mean the water you add in? Or do you mean once brewed?
The machine does have a warming plate, so the brewed coffee will be kept warm just fine. If you mean what you add to the reservoir, that will be fine, the boiler will get it to the temperature that it needs whether you add warm or cold water to it.

Eibach Dodge Magnum 2WD V8 Inc. SRT-8 self leveling; Exc. AWD 2005 - 2008 R2 Coil-Over Kit (Double Adj & Ride-Height).
For the ultimate in suspension performance, Eibach has developed MULTI-PRO-R1 Coil-overs, specially tuned spring/damper units that allow you to extract the last ounce of cornering power from your vehicle. The Coil-Over design lets you precisely tune the corner weights for optimum handling balance, and the wide range of the damping adjustability lets you tune for the comfort, ultimate grip, or anything in between.
This kit is perfect for the club racers or drivers who demand the high performance handling and optimal ride quality for which Eibach is famous. 100% Designed and Built at Eibach U.S.A.
About Eibach:The chassis of a production vehicle is designed to be built at a minimum cost, and suited for an average driver. We enthusiasts, however, are anything but average. We know what we want from a vehicle. We want immediate response, reduced body roll, increased stability and enhanced cornering ability. And we want the look that comes with those characteristics-a lower, more muscular, more athletic stance.
The special skills of Eibach engineers are in the tuning of the individual components (springs, dampers and stabilizers) to achieve the best possible harmony between the driver, the automobile and the road. As a driver you immediately feel more direct handling and greater predictability. Nose dive under braking is reduced, as well as excessive body roll in hard cornering. In any performance driving situation, tracking stability-and driver confidence-is greatly enhanced.
* Please note FREE Shipping refers to shipping within the contiguous continental US. All other locations extra. If the item is in stock this should ship same day or the next business day. If the part happens to be out of stock we will notify customer.

When we began the 12 Days of LUV, we knew Customers would be really into it and ready to vie for $12,000 worth of southwestgiftcards® (one for each day, compliments of Dr Pepper). Take a look at the winners, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
What we didn't know was the story of full-circle generosity that we'd be able to tell, due to one stranger reaching out to help another through the Facebook comments section of 12 Days of LUV: Day 1.
I won't soon forget the selflessness displayed by Kristy Wilson, the Customer who helped Mike Calandra, the aforementioned stranger who just wanted to see his soldier son before deployment.
You'll witness in this video Kristy's genuine surprise and insistence that we didn't have to reward her generosity.
"This is so not necessary," she softly muttered, holding back tears.
But also unnecessary was her decision to help someone across the United States who she'd previously never interacted with.
The result was an unforgettable experience that led to lots of hugs, tears, and joy, and the reaffirmation that we truly work for the best Company, with the best Employees, and the best Customers on the planet.

Obviously the idea that 18,000 gaymarriages are not prohibited by California's state-constitutional prohibition on gaymarriage because they occurred during a brief window of legality is absurd. Can you imagine some post-bellum South Carolinian arguing that the 13th Amendment didn't apply retroactively? The CA supreme court tried to split the baby and ended up with blood and guts all over its hands. Now a new referendum seeking to repeal with prior referendum will go on the ballot and will probably succeed. This is all to say that no matter how it is constituted and exercised, democracy on a large scale is a sham.

Dude, I love your little pet belief that small scale democracy will work. Yeah, people get less stupid in small groups.
Is it a form of naivety or just narcissism? Do you think no one else has thought of it before? - 11:09 AM

dudetella I think she pulled the football on you again, chump.

The walrus is a narcissist. I guess you're not one, though. Obviously, no narcissist would refuse to engage those who attempt to disagree with him.
- Mr.Fundamental said...
key word there: attempt.

dudetella: first you must remove yourself from the self-imposed straight jacket that is your intellect. then maybe you can start articulating your disagreement here using simple hand gestures and such.

Nute, democracy on a small scale is just common sense, unless you've got no brains at all. And even then, there are few things that good old-fashioned tribal democracy can't deliver even to the wisest would-be philosopher-king. Perspectives are one of democracy's major imports.
In families, like-minded associations of every stripe, warbands, teams, democracy can be demonstrated to work. For empires, though, it's much more debatable and since coercion is inherent to almost all power, the larger the system the easier it is for that power to get out of control. I don't see what wisdom you possess that renders IOZ's observation absurd. - 12:46 PM
- AlanSmithee said...
I think nutie's point is something along the lines of: "You dirty hippie libertardlian greenie anarchist purity pure pure purists are soooo dumb! Wooooo! Obama rules! Woooo!"
- Cüneyt said...
Is Nute a partisan Dem? I must not be reading closely enough.
- BrianM said...
While definitely sympathetic to yoru views (and Ioz) I would also note that small states can be even more tyrranical, (c.f. tribal justice that involves stoning to death the younger sister of a young man convicted of being seen with a girl of "improper" caste). So...even though I still agree with you... - 1:46 PM
- IOZ said...
Brian, lover, "caste" is not a function of tribal society. FAIL.
- Cüneyt said...
Brian, a good point. Even families see murder, after all. But as IOZ notes, most of the pernicious and widespread systems of privilege have spread via those dubious engines--the state and its laws. Sure, we can split hairs--was tyranny in India imposed by the British state, per se, or simply one state's technical superiority over many others? (Will this attract a certain regressive fellow of ours, I wonder?)
But, in general, when you get into middlemen, you get arbitrary, and you get detached, and yes, I prefer a stoning to a bombing, because the stompers have, perhaps only infinitesimally more, a greater relationship with their victims. For that and many other reasons I praise the smaller states, though I am a fan of multiethnic empire in general. As far as violence in one or another, I'm not going to say. Violence is essentially human, I think, and only enhanced in flavor and motive by this or that system. But you see, the smaller system I control more, so that's a factor, too. - 2:19 PM
- Cüneyt said...
Of course, come to think of it, nations are tribes too. And what are castes but tribes made into permanent classes? Perhaps less of a dichotomy than appears at first.
- Justin said...
To recap - here is what we have learned.
Small scale democracy and de-centralized government is distinct and worse than democratic oligarchy and empire because...
1.) In small societies, when a member of the community violates taboo they may be punished violently up to death.
2.) Small societies sometimes grow large enough to develop class discrimination, castes, and governments that may be more oppressive and powerful, but less tyranical than smaller counterparts.
3.) People are just as stupid in small groups as large, therefore the small stupid groups are inferior. - 2:38 PM

I would also note that small states can be even more tyrranical, (c.f. tribal justice that involves stoning to death the younger sister of a young man convicted of being seen with a girl of "improper" caste). After reading this blog for awhile, I seem to remember part of the issue IOZ took was not one of sheer morality (i.e. stoning not entirely unlike carpet bombing civilians) but one of scale. I say that in so much as a small democracy of 200 may indeed come to some horribly unjust and incorrect views, but it would find it difficult to, say, shove 6 million people in ovens.

Now a new referendum seeking to repeal with prior referendum will go on the ballot and will probably succeed. This is all to say that no matter how it is constituted and exercised, democracy on a large scale is a sham.I'm sure those two thoughts must be connected in some way, but I'll be damned if I can see what it is.
- IOZ said...
One branch of the California government, the judiciary, saw in the work of another branch of the California government, the legislature, i.e. in the CA state constitution, an equal protection clause with which they extended marriage to same-sex couples. A few months later, a ballot referendum, through which the general population can circumvent the legislative and constitutional processes of the state, invalidated the court ruling and curtailed the meaning of equal protection in their own constitution, thereby rendering same-sex marriage null and void. Given voter turnout figures and such, one would be hard-pressed to say this expressed the will of a majority; it expressed, instead, a moderately more organized plurality of that percentage of citizens who voted in the general election. Previously married same-sexers sued. The result was a subsequent court decision that affirmed same-sex marriage within the brief window between the initial court ruling and the ballot referendum, while also finding that same-sex marriage is not only illegal but in fact unconstitutional, as the ballot measure in fact amended the state constitution. In the next election, a different plurality of voters will, using another ballot referendum, strip the amendment that bars same-sex marriage from their constitution, which will reset the jurisprudential clock and extend general equal-protection protection to same-sex marriages.
I don't know what else you'd call that, Steve, if not a sham. Whose "will" is served, expressed, and validated here, regardless of the ultimate outcome. - 4:02 PM

would it not be better if gays work to get govt out of marriage business altogether rather than get into this we are just like every one and marriage is so BIG thingie..
just wondering after seeing the usual chest thumping and over the top screaming and ritual CD etc etc here in san francisco last evening - 4:25 PM
- SteveB said...
Public opinion is quickly shifting in favor of gay marriage, and if your prediction is correct California law will reflect that shift in opinion, sooner rather than later.
Compare that with the massive shift in public opinion against the Iraq war, and the complete non-response of our political system to that change.
In other words, it's not hard to find examples that suggest that we don't live in a democracy, but this doesn't seem to be one of them.
Given voter turnout figures and such, one would be hard-pressed to say this expressed the will of a majority; it expressed, instead, a moderately more organized plurality of that percentage of citizens who voted in the general election.
You mean more people voted for Prop 8 than voted against it? - 4:30 PM

SteveB, you are officially the new NutellaOnToast, for taking a blawgpoaste about how horrible is the democracy we live in and turning it into a blawgpoaste about how we don't live in a democracy. Congratulations!
Additional hilarious note on the absurdity of democracy. Because Prop 8 passed in a Presidential election year, whereas the probably anti-prop-8 ballot measure will be in an off-year election, Prop 8 may yet be overturned by numerically fewer voters who will nonetheless compose a larger plurality of the voting population than those voters who passed it in the first place. - 4:41 PM

- SteveB said...
OK, you got me. It's not that we don't live in a democracy, it's just that the democracy we live in is a sham.
And here's the evidence:
1) Elections are determined, not by the will of all of the people, but only by those people who actually turn out to vote.2) The results of one election can be overturned in a subsequent election. Bizarrely, the relative turnout of the two elections seems not to matter at all.Hmmm... I wonder what you'd say if the opposite of #2 was true? What if, for example, you had one election, say an election for president, which did not, in any substantial way, policy-wise, overturn the results of the previous presidential election? Would that also be evidence that our democracy is a sham?
Good work, I think you've got American Sham Democracy coming and going. Now that you've boxed it in, it's time to go in for the kill. - 6:48 PM

Okay, okay. But I was listening to a radio interview with this pastor who helped run the Prop 8 campaign. He says, and I quote, "For five thousand years marriage has been between one man and one woman." Then they had another guy on. And he says, "For thousands of years, the word 'marriage' has meant a man and a woman."
I conclude: the problem isn't necessarily the size of the demos. I mean, yahoos like that would be even MORE fucked up in a smaller scale system. Any form of government that doesn't systematically disenfranchise and possibly enslave people like that is going to be kind of a hassle.
Has the good pastor ever heard of a fella named Abraham? - 8:41 PM

A better example for you might be the European early modern witch-trials, which mostly got really, really bad in some of the minor statelets of the Holy Roman Empire, where there was no effective higher authority to appeal to when the local authorities went crazy.
But the price of having, say, the Parliament of Paris review every witch trial and squash most of the death sentences, was being the subject of a powerful state capable of getting into major wars and of persecuting heretics and so on. That tended to kill a lot more people. - 4:23 AM
- The Promiscuous Reader said...
anon, "would it not be better if gays work to get govt out of marriage business altogether rather than get into this we are just like every one and marriage is so BIG thingie.."
This 'get the govt out of the marriage business' seems to be a popular line in some circles, just as '5000-year-definition of marriage' is in others. I'm all for it, because it would mean that married couples would no longer get any special rights from being married. That seems not to be what the people who use the line mean, though: they talk as though things like legal kinship, inheritance, and such just fall from the sky, and if the government would just get out of the way, they'd land on people who've exchanged vows.
About those alleged "historical Catholic ceremonies for same sex partners during the first 1,000 years of Christianity..." The famous ones are Orthodox, not Catholic, if I recall correctly, and they're not equivalent to marriage or there'd be no need for separate ceremonies. They're rites for sworn brotherhood, which of course predates Christianity by a long time and is found in many cultures. Whether they're much help to us contemporary fags, especially the non-religious ones, I don't know. At best their status and nature remain controversial, so you can't really rag on contemporary Protestant divines for being ignorant of them. Especially since today's gay Christians are just as ignorant about the history of their faith. Let "he" who is without sin, etc.
It's true that it would be hard for a hunter-gatherer society to kill 6 million people, but the rate of violence and murder in such societies seems to be high, even pre-European contact. Marvin Harris cited a study in Our Kind which found, working from the memories of older San, that they had a murder rate roughly equivalent to that of Washington DC or Detroit. You'll be killed just as daid by a stone-tipped arrow in your brain as by a gas chamber. Just sayin'. - 6:30 AM

Now the IOZoids are falling back on metrics? "Uh, we should live in smaller, decentralized communities because less people will get murderized that way, even if there ain't a single god-damn one of us that would want to live in some kind of inbred Amish community or worse..."
Isn't that the logic they love to make fun of when it's applied to voting for lesser-of-two-evilism? "Sure, things will still be fucked, but they'll be less fucked, or at least fucked in a new way!" - 8:00 AM
- Cüneyt said...
Some of us have consistently valued certain metrics.
Personally, I know that democracy can work individually, even if it's also routinely frustrating. Maybe that's because I'm slightly charming and slightly intelligent and I can get benefits out of some votes. Maybe if I was in another field, I'd be swept aside by democratic processes. I don't know. But I do believe there's function in it; as a system grows more complex and more arcane, however, authoritarianism and mechanization becomes inevitable. So it stands to my reason that, somewhere along the way, democracy loses function or, better yet, changes function, from governance to management of crowds. - 10:57 AM

I vote for pre-Renaissance Tuscanny, myself. Plenty of peace, love, and understanding there. (I know...I know, the Popes and the Emperors and the outside powers stirred things up, but still.) Plus...I'll take Renaissance art over Dung Christ...
But...in our romanticism over smaller socieites and their abiliities to wage big war...I guess a lot of small wars kill just as many people??
"Brian, lover, "caste" is not a function of tribal society. FAIL."
I guess it depends on your definition of "tribal society." There is certainly not much of a true, modern State in the Northwest Frontier Provinces. And, the "elders" who laid down the law were working within a "tribal" or at a minimum a traditional village level cultural system. I'll grant you my use of the term "tribal" may be anthopologically incorrect, but the villages do operate on a traditional basis, no? - 10:57 AM
- Dunc said...
I guess a lot of small wars kill just as many people?? I believe that, proportionally, the constant low-level inter-tribal warfare of Bronze Age Europe probably killed more people per annum than WWII. Modern wars kill vast amounts of people in large part simply because there are vast numbers of people to kill. Back in 500BC, a small group of determined men armed with pointed sticks could commit genocide in a couple of days (for certain values of "genocide"). And they frequently did.

This is all to say that no matter how it is constituted and exercised, democracy on a large scale is a sham.I would at least temper that a bit by noting that the egregiousness of the sham does depend on how it is constituted and exercised. California has an especially dysfunctional democratic framework. Paying for state expenditures requires two-thirds of the legislature (as we have seen blow up yet again), but a plurality of the full electorate can strip previously-enumerated rights from their fellow citizens? Yeah, that's fucked up. Activist judges + a multistep amendment process worked in Massachusetts' favor, and now it's an electoral non-issue. So, clearly, the problem is, er... too much democracy. Is it too early in the day to start drinking?

What are we "debating"? Whether it's better to stab a million angels with one pin or one angel a million times? Who gives a flatulent fuck about your moronic hypotheticals? Nobody's going back to live in tiny, xenophobic villages, and morality is not a matter of utilitarian metrics.
"The former seems less inevitable"? Yeah, I guess, if you don't count the godknowshowmany people who actually were stoned, burned or hanged because the rest of the inbred villagers thought they were a witch or some such thing. I mean, sure, it's already happened before, but that doesn't mean it would happen again! What's really important here is which scenario would make Cunteye feel better to contemplate!

I'd venture to guess though that less people were stoned to death as witches in Europe over the period of, say, any given 300 years, than were killed in Burundi in the course of a single civil war about 15 years ago. Mind you, the scale of populations is smaller in the way back machine and all that, but as a betting man, I would gladly take you up on it at even odds. Even at 2-1! - 8:15 AM

Jesus Christ, that was interesting. Yes, Anon, make fun of my name and castigate me for talking nonsense. After all, I'm sure you're out there changing things, constructing wonders, and generally being far more than your presence here would indicate.
Of course anarcho-primitivism (is that where we're going, right?) is a fool's dream. I can't recall who I saw speaking of it--may have been Chomsky--who rejected such "back to hunting-and-gathering, it'll be utopia" thought as plainly built on genocide. I heartily agree. The complexities and troubles of the modern world with billions and billions of people are here. I do not deny them.
But quite frankly, you'd only think that I deny them if you arrived here recently and read only two or three of my comments and deduced that I was the sort to lose myself in dreams of what was and ignore what really is. And the truth is, I do like to muse and consider this or that philosophical ideal. I also talk practicals, too, and fuck you for presuming that you know me based on one fucking conversation. What do you bring to any of this, you jackass? Are you elevating the debate one iota?
And, in any event, I was debating the organization of societies, not their population altogether. I continue to believe that direct democracy is better in effects than populist democracy taking in 300 million or more. In all majoritarian versions of democracy, you have the injustice of the minority spoken over, but I would say that, while any group can fall to authoritarianism and group think, larger ones commit, with more swiftness, actions that marginalize or harm a greater number at once. And if you cannot detect the principle in what I was saying, then how about you ask me next time, instead of throwing schoolboy-level insults at me and making me into some straw man of whatever demon you want to reject. - 2:06 PM

ELIT 2013 - General Theme
On the Limit of Literature
The European Literature Days 2013 put the spotlight on new forms of narrative currently a talking point in literary circles. Genres like the graphic novel or the documentary novel challenge traditional literature. Writers, critics and readers discuss whether and how contemporary literature transgresses its usual limits. How do life crises, or social and technological conflicts affect or change our conception of literature? Is our understanding currently being expanded or even transformed? The new media are fundamentally changing the general conditions for literary production. In a new century, literature is to some extent advancing to the next level. Writers' (auto)biographical schemes are undergoing change, as are relationships between writers and readers. Literature is self-transforming – of its own accord: how does this affect the concept of authorship? And do the newly developed products still qualify as literature?

Eating Disorders: Stopping Negative Thoughts
Topic Overview
People who have an eating disorder often become preoccupied with negative thoughts about themselves. It is often hard for them to think positive thoughts. Although it is impossible to stop all negative thoughts, you can reduce these thoughts with a few simple techniques.
- Remember that your goal is to feel better with each passing day. Ask someone you trust to remind you of that when you are feeling hopeless.
- Every day make one positive statement to yourself. For example, say to yourself, "Every day, I am taking better care of myself and my body."
- Remind yourself that you can do this. Say to yourself, "I am a capable person.
- Daydream about the fun things you are going to do. Daydream about your pet, someone you care about, or a favorite place.
- Spend time with other people. Get to know them. Do not spend time repeating negative things to yourself.
- Make a list of your accomplishments, such as things you have recently learned, things you have recently done that were hard for you, or things you have changed about yourself.
- Make plans to do something you have been wanting to do, such as visit a new store or see a certain movie.

Officer Kenneth Moreno is accused of raping a drunk 27-year-old woman in her East Village apartment in December of 2008, while his partner, Officer Franklin Mata, acted as a lookout.
While in court, the judge told the panel not to rush and to deliberate as long as necessary.
The judge also told jurors to look at both officers separately, and not be swayed by the fact that they are members of the police force.
In her closing arguments Tuesday, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Coleen Balbert said Moreno may not have believed that having sex with the drunk woman was rape.
However, she said it was a crime of opportunity because the woman was physically helpless.
Balbert said Officer Mata should have intervened and that he acted like a lookout in a robbery.
The defense argues Moreno did not have sex with the woman.
They say she is motivated by a $57 million lawsuit against the officers and the city.
Defense lawyers admit the two men returned to the woman's apartment several times, but they say it was only to check on her.
The two officers each face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Urine specific gravity is a laboratory test that measures the concentration of all chemical particles in the urine.
See also:
Urine density
The test requires a clean-catch urine sample. For information on how to collect this urine sample, see: Clean-catch urine culture
Your health care provider will instruct you, if necessary, to discontinue drugs that may interfere with the test. Drugs that can increase specific gravity measurements include dextran and sucrose. Receiving intravenous dye (contrast medium) for an x-ray exam up to 3 days before the test can also interfere with results.
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
This test helps evaluate your body's water balance and urine concentration.
Normal values are between 1.000 to 1.030.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Increased urine specific gravity may be due to:
Decreased urine specific gravity may be due to:
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
Osmolality is a more specific test for urine concentration. However, the specific gravity measurement is easier and more convenient and usually part of a routine urinalysis. It frequently makes the osmolality measurement unnecessary.

Chicago Bulls run over Cleveland Cavaliers
CLEVELAND — There was no other way to describe it.
"It was a good, old fashioned butt-whippin'," Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said after the Chicago Bulls prevailed, 115-86, before 20,562 at Quicken Loans Arena.
"We still have a lot to learn. You have to come ready to play. Chicago is a great basketball team, especially on the defensive end. We didn't match their intensity."
The Bulls (2-0) were playing without All-Star point guard Derrick Rose, who is recovering from a torn ACL. It made no difference whatsoever.
Chicago has beaten the Cavs nine times in a row. In the last four outings vs. the Bulls, the Cavs have been outscored by a combined 121 points. Rose didn't play in three of those four games.
The Cavs (1-1) haven't beaten their Central Division opponent since March 19, 2010.
The Bulls, who had the best record in the NBA last season, were led by guard Richard Hamilton, who had 14 of his 19 points in the third quarter. Power forward Carlos Boozer, a second-round pick of the Cavs in 2002, finished with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Guard Nate Robinson came off the bench to score 16 points and dish out a game-high 12 assists for Chicago. He started the second half, as starter Kirk Hinrich was in foul trouble. Chicago shot a blistering 63.8 percent from the field.
Coach Tom Thibodeau is all about rugged, aggressive defense, and his Bulls were on top of their game on Friday. They held the Cavs to 40.5 percent shooting, and the Cavs had trouble running their offensive sets. Every time they'd run a play, one of the Bulls were in the passing lanes or impeding their path to the basket.
Cavs coach Byron Scott benched all his starters in crunch time and went deep into his bench. Continued...
The starters did nothing but get totally outplayed by the Bulls.
Guard Kyrie Irving paced the Cavs with 15 points and four assists. But he shot 6 of 15 from the field and turned the ball over four times.
"We just started too late," Irving said. "We didn't match their (intensity). We make no excuses in this locker room."
He said it was difficult to execute their offense against the Bulls.
"Every time I touched the ball, they loaded up on me," Irving said.
Center Anderson Varejao, fresh off his 23-rebound performance against Washington on Tuesday, finished with 12 points and five rebounds. Forward Alonzo Gee added 12 points for the Cavs.
Rookie guard Dion Waiters was held to seven points.
"I didn't try to force anything," he said. "You have to let the game come to you and not try to do too much. (If you do), it hurts you."
The first half was 24 minutes of futility for the Cavs. They were blown out of their own gym by the Bulls 60-35.
"It's a good wake-up call. We walked through everything: no hard cuts, we didn't set good screens. We were going through the motions. You can't play the Bulls and go through the motions. Continued...
"We have to bounce back (Saturday in Milwaukee). Losing to me is frustrating. It's going to be interesting to see how we bounce back. We have to bring the effort every night."
Scott said the Bulls' defense is good enough. There's no need for the Cavs to help their cause.
"Their defense has always been good," he said. "Our offense was bad, too. If we hold the ball, their defense is great. We helped out their defense."

During Tuesdays meeting, the Easttown Board of Supervisors decided to extend the life of the refurbished early-1800s barn at 222 Waterloo Road in Devon, at least temporarily.
In ruling on Bentley Homes demolition permit request that included saving part of the original structure as a ruin, the board approved the issuance, pending a 120-day delay for the barn to be put on the market for sale.
The barn has not been guaranteed survival, Easttown Township Manager Mike Brown said. All it has been guaranteed is a chance to survive, based upon what can or cant be done as far as selling it.
Bentley Homes CEO Tom Bentley said at previous meetings that a feasibility study found that the likelihood of selling the barn as a residential project was slim, due to the cost involved. Bentley said that including lot purchase requirements, the total could be around $3.8 million. Still, on Tuesday, Bentley agreed with the boards decision and will soon list the property.
Attorney Joseph Kohn appeared at the meeting on behalf of multiple residents, to state their case for the barns preservation. Kohns presentation included evaluations from historic preservationists and architects in support of maintaining its integrity.
One of the barns most outspoken defenders, Donald F. Clarke, said the boards decision was the second-best possible outcome.
The demolition permit was not withdrawn, and that was the optimum thing we were seeking, Clarke said. This was sort of a fallback position, but it is good that there will be a good-faith effort to find a buyer.
The board also had to rule on Bentleys subdivision plan for his planned development on the 10-acre property. Because of the barns yet-to-be-determined fate, the plan was approved, based on conditions including the eventual demolition of the barn. If the structure is kept as is, the plan would have to be revised, because the barn would be too close to one of the lots to meet township ordinance requirements.

UNION — Seven months after his first trial ended in a hung jury, a local minister is again being tried for allegedly having sex with an underage girl in 2010.
Stephen Douglas Berry, 38, 848 Bob Little Road, Jonesville, was arrested in 2011 and charged by the Union County Sheriff's Office with criminal sexual conduct with a minor second-degree. Berry, the former associate pastor of New Life Baptist Church, is accused of repeatedly having sex with the victim, who was 15 at the time, between May 2010 and November 2010.
Berry was first tried on the charge in July but after three days of testimony and hours of deliberation resulted in a hung jury and a mistrial being declared.
Union County Clerk of Court Freddie Gault said Thursday that Berry's second trial on the charge of criminal sexual conduct with a minor second-degree began Tuesday with jury selection throughout the day and testimony starting late that afternoon. He said testimony was heard throughout Wednesday and was continuing Thursday.
Berry's case is being tried before Judge John C. Hayes of York. He is represented by Eric Delaney of the York County Public Defenders Office. The state's case is being presented by Sixteenth Circuit Deputy Solicitor John Anthony.
Since being arrested for criminal sexual conduct with a minor second-degree, Berry was arrested in April 2011 by the sheriff's office for sex/lewd act upon a child under 16 for allegedly inappropriately touching a 13-year-old girl on numerous occasions during the summer of 2008. A few months later he was arrested by the Union Public Safety Department for criminal sexual conduct third-degree for allegedly engaging in sexual battery of the victim between February 1 and July 8 of 2011. Unlike the two previous cases, the victim was not a minor but was described in the incident report as being mentally defective.
The sex/lewd act upon a child under 16 charge is still pending, but the criminal sexual conduct third-degree charge was dismissed in August 2012 after the victim died.

West Hollywood Employment
Amidst the chaos of my life currently, I have neglected blogging. I love blogging.
So here's what's new: I got a killer job and was in training for a week. They offered to pay me exactly what I asked for. It was a restaurant. I immediately was happy there. I learned so much, including almost the entire menu. I did a tea tasting with the owner and his wife, ancient Chinese style, being intrigued by the art and balancing of tea. I loved my job. Except I did notice the extremely nice manager that hired me was being incredibly rude to me, strict, and almost threatening my job there at every chance he had! Another manager, never smiled at me but once or twice. She was sloppy, came to work as if she'd rolled out of bed and done nothing with herself. Of course I am the opposite. I care very much about my appearance. I do my hair daily, wear a decent amount of cosmetics, never too heavy, and try to dress my best despite my lack of funds. She literally seemed to loathe me for no reason but the obvious, I am not lazy and (not to be vain at all) jealous, because no matter where I am, I am complimented most times on my appearance.
Keep in mind, I worked as hard as I could, one owner and his wife, another owner, the restaurants famous chef, my co-workers and regular customers liked me very much. I could tell! I was never late. Right on time once and 15-30 minutes early all the other days. I do not have a car and was walking to work as well. So the other day, I am dressed in black Gap 'extra skinny' pants (so comfortable for work), my gorgeous little white collared shirt from Tokyo made by She Loves Suits (the only business shirt I own actually :/) and my shoes, and the two owners that had seemed to be against me for no reason at all and that I could sense the negative from them daily, were waiting outside for me. It's summer okay? It's hot. They gave me no warning call. I could have been wearing my jean shorts and Jessica Simpson sandals (LOVE), but NO. I am fully prepared to work, 15 minutes early. They're waiting outside and just before I am about to enter the restaurant they call me over. The sloppy woman manager says nothing the entire time. She finally forces a smile and just stares at me. The fake asshole, gives me no explanation at all, has my check in hand for the ONE week that I put full hard effort into, and tells me they're 'going to HAVE to let me go' as if I was some HUGE burden. Busing tables, running food, seating, refilling drinks, perfect to-go orders, no mistakes called in…
So I recall reading the "Basic Policy", the "Dismissal" policy and so on, and simply ask one question: "So you're not even going to follow a warning procedure?"
"Excuse me?" he says with a fake smile.
I then have to repeat myself, and he again with the fake smile, and a "No. It's just not the right fit." with a look in his eyes as if he himself has no idea what the policy entails. The shithead never even read the employee handbook, how the hell is he a manager? This comes as no surprise to me. I take my check and my dignity out of the chair, excusing myself with a "Have a nice day." As I walk away, I am clenching my clock-in card (which was a threat to be sent home the day before and $10.00 fine to replace it, despite having no money at all, and had just accidentally left it at home). I wait for the right moment to throw that card gently into the street while my back is still in their sight. I hope they choke on some stupid sandwich that only can be made with the one type of mayo they use, some ridiculous pepper vegenaise. That's right folks. There is no real mayonnaise to be found in the facility. Don't know why I threw that in there but I did. Regardless, I didn't deserve that and the one last female hostess they just hired after me, will be a choppy-hair, no make-up type of girl, with absolutely no taste in clothing, representing the 'face' of the restaurant. I think sloppy liked her better because she didn't feel threatened.
No matter how broke I am,I will always reach for a successful, fashionable, and smart wardrobe. My summer 'just let go and be cool' outfits will accompany my hair neatly done, light make-up and sunscreen!
With my new free time, I can write music with my lovey, paint on a couple new canvas', and try to find a better place where I 'fit', or how about a place where people appreciate the dedication and time I spend to learn and promote their product. I'm full of hope and believe in us.
