Ever feel like there's a mass market for wrong information about homosexuality and bisexuality? Do you leave a conversation with a friend or finish reading an article or website and wonder if what you've learned is the truth or one of those nasty myths? Just about any subject you'd hear about has them … and homosexuality and bisexuality is no different. Now Scarleteen's taking the time to debunk some of the most common misconceptions.
We believe that all people have the right to choose what's right for them about sex and sexual orientation without fear of discrimination. In order to assist in breaking down the barriers, it is vitally important to be able to distinguish between the facts and the myths. All of us, at one time or another, has firmly believed that something was real or true when it very much wasn't. Here we look at some of the myths surrounding sexual orientation and the truths that lie behind them.
FACT: Nope: all sorts of people like anal sex play. It's a matter of personal preference. In fact, not all homosexual men like anal play – there is no connection between someone's sexual orientation and whether or not they like anal sex.
The anus is full of sensitive nerve endings, and this can be very stimulating for people of any gender or sexual orientation. Some men find that they like anal sex because it stimulates their prostate gland.
Check the research: Go Ask Alice: Anal Stimulation Ain't Just for Gay Men, Scarleteen.com: Meet your Prostate, Wikipedia.org: Prostate.
FACT: Lesbians are just like all other women. Which means: they wear whatever they feel most comfortable with on any given day. And that can be anything from high heels and miniskirt to jeans and a t-shirt to button-down shirts and boots. Lesbians don't have a dress code, and you cannot tell if someone's a lesbian from the way they dress (unless they're wearing a shirt that says "I'm a lesbian", that is).
Check the research: The Secret Power of Lesbian Style
FACT: Ever heard the saying that it takes a village to raise a child? Well, it pretty much does. Children learn from all sorts of different experiences and role models. But what qualifies people to be good parents, or surrogate parents, isn't their gender or their sexuality. It's their compassion, respect, patience and dedication to raising a child.
What children need is love, caring and understanding, and anyone of any gender or orientation can provide that. So, a homosexual couple can do just as good a job of parenting as a heterosexual couple.
Check the research: The Province: Same-Sex Couples Just as Good, if Not Better, At Parenting, Wikipedia: LGBT Parenting, WebMD: Same-Sex Parents Raise Well-Adjusted Kids
FACT: You know, for this, we'd have to first come up with a definition of a 'girly guy' or a 'tomboy'. How does a guy have to behave to be considered 'girly'? In the same way, how would a girl have to behave to be considered a 'tomboy'?
Is not wearing skirts enough to be considered boyish? But that just brings us back to the lesbian dress-code, doesn't it? Ultimately, we're all individuals with our own tastes and likes and dislikes, and those aren't necessarily an expression of our sexual orientation. How someone dresses, what games they like to play or what movies they like to watch isn't hardwired together with their sexual orientation. Those things aren't connected, and thus someone's tastes or behavior is never a good way to gauge their sexual orientation.
Check the research: Scarleteen: She's a Tomboy, so she likes girls, right?, Wikipedia: Tomboy
FACT: I've often thought that it'd be great if this was true. At times when I felt isolated because of my sexuality, it would've been neat to pick other homosexuals out of the crowd and connect with them. Or if there's a girl I like and I'm not sure how she'd react if I brought that up.
All in all, it'd be a great super-power to have. But that's just what this infamous "gaydar" would be: a super-power. Homosexuals aren't inherently different from heterosexuals (and the boundaries there tend to be pretty fluid, anyway) and thus there's no way to know if someone's gay unless you ask them.
Check the research: Scarleteen: Silly Ways to Tell, Gender Public Advocacy Coalition, National Youth Advocacy Coalition
FACT: This misconception likely comes from the way in which heterosexual relationships seem to have roles that are clearly divided according to gender. The girl is weak and passive where-as the male is strong and active; however, this is hardly true for most hetero relationships. It is also untrue for homosexual relationships where the ideas of gender and gender roles are often pretty hard to define in the first place.
Some people may be naturally more active or more passive, but this is a personality trait, and not something that's connected to one's gender. And in a healthy, balanced relationship, there would be an interplay of activity and passiveness, rather than one person always charging ahead and the other following along.
Check the research: Answers.com: Gender Role, New York Times: Gay Unions Shed Light on Gender in Marriage Scarleteen: Genderpalooza: A Sex & Gender Primer
FACT: There's still a lot of contention over what does and does not 'lead to' homosexuality. Most scientists seem to be in agreement by now that it's an interplay of nature and nurture. That is - it's a combination of one's genetic make-up and the influences of one's environment growing up.
This is much more complex than simply saying "lack of factor x will lead to homosexuality". Science aside, a simple look around in your group of friends and acquaintances should help you to prove this myth wrong. How many friends do you have who grew up with a single parent, or who had one parent who was away from the home a lot due to work? Did they all become homosexual?
Check the research: All Psych Online: Homosexuality: Nature or Nurture?, Wikipedia: LGBT Parenting
FACT: Sexuality isn't as rigid and constant as popular opinion would have you believe. In fact, sexual orientation tends to be very fluid and shift back and forth over the course of one's lifetime. Someone who has always considered themselves homosexual may fall in love with someone of the opposite gender. Another person who's been identifying as bisexual may come to realize they are exclusively attracted to one gender. In the same, someone who's been heterosexual all their lives may find themselves feeling attracted to a particular person of the same gender.
Attraction has so many more factors than just our own gender or the gender of the person we feel drawn to, and thus it's no surprise that we may not always limit ourselves to one gender for all our lives. Most recently studies believe that only a very small group of people is exclusively homosexual and heterosexual, everyone else lies on a spectrum between.
Check the research: Avert: Why are people called homosexual or gay, and what does it mean?, Health Hype: Female Sexuality is Relatively Fluid, Sexual Health: Sexual Orientation: Identity, Fantasy and Behavior
FACT: If someone is bisexual, it does not mean that they will automatically always be attracted to every single person. It just means that their attraction is not limited to one gender. It doesn't mean that they're attracted to more people – there'll still be other factors that determine who they feel attracted to.
Similarly, being bisexual certainly doesn't mean having no impulse-control and no respect for one's partner. Just like anyone else, a bisexual person who's interested in a committed, monogamous relationship will dedicate themselves to making that work. Their sexuality isn't an indication that someone is more likely to cheat or choose not to enter monogamous relationships in the first place.
Check the research: After Ellen: Bisexuals Found to be More Monogamous, LGBT Community Cener: Bisexual, MSU: Bisexual FAQ
FACT: If you spend most of your life around people with blond hair, you'll wake up one morning with naturally blond hair. When looking through this idea with another topic for discussion it's easy to see how strange the theory really is.
Homosexuality isn't a disease, and thus it cannot be contagious. So nope, you cannot catch 'the gay' like you would the cold. Sexual orientation also is not a conscious choice; you do not wake up one day and decide to be gay, or straight, or bisexual. Spending time with someone of a different orientation from you may make you curious about that and may broaden your horizons, but it cannot alter your sexual orientation.

Sinister Circus™
I am truly aghast! My crystal ball must have been malfunctioning in 2012 - I believe it was dropped on it's head while still just a wee marble. The Fortune Teller's booth has now caught my eye! As I sit with her, she speaks of fascinating characters joining the Sinister Circus Collection - along with a most harrowing expansion of the story line in 2013!
Welcome to a carnival most macabre; introducing a traveling band of oddities in the Sinister Circus. Something wicked this way comes as the Overseer opens the show to a host of sideshow headliners, dastardly thrilling performers and ghastly clowns. Enter the show…if you dare!

Hello everyone. I've been setting up a super hero campaign using the Mutants and Masterminds 2nd edition system. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I read a review of this system, and loved what I heard. Bought the PDF and am still trying to get everything in my head so I can be a good little Watcher for my group.
The thing is, 3 of my four players have built their characters for Mutants and Masterminds already. None of the players have bought the book or PDF yet, so I thought I'd make a mock up of their characters for them so they can look up those parts to get an idea of their characters and see what fits.
So, I'd like to ask for help finding the rules that apply where I am weak on my knowledge, and if the rules don't say specifically, then opinions and options on how to make it work.
1. One of the players has this mystically powered golem creature. He is immune to fire. In fact, fire damage heals him. I haven't figured out how to do that in this system.
2. I was thinking of suggesting to him that instead of having it always heal him, how about it doesn't cause him physical stress, but rather it causes his body to heat up, causing the counterattack SFX. My question is, can you have it to where fire can do both? Like if he spends a PP it heals him like on the Wolverine datafile, and if he doesn't, it boosts his counterattack?
I've got more questions, but I need sleep.

(2) That he or she may not, during the period of his or her parole, leave the state without the consent of the division;
(3) That he or she shall comply with the rules prescribed by the division for his or her supervision by the parole officer;
(4) That in every case in which the parolee for a conviction is seeking parole from an offense against a child, defined in section twelve, article eight, chapter sixty-one of this code; or article eight-b or eight-d of said chapter, or similar convictions from other jurisdictions where the parolee is returning or attempting to return to this state pursuant to the provisions of article six, chapter twenty-eight of this code, the parolee may not live in the same residence as any minor child nor exercise visitation with any minor child nor may he or she have any contact with the victim of the offense; and
(5) That the parolee, and all federal or foreign state probationers and parolees whose supervision may have been undertaken by this state, is required to pay a fee, based on his or her ability to pay, not to exceed forty dollars per month to defray costs of supervision.
(b) The commissioner shall keep a record of all actions taken and account for moneys received. No provision of this section prohibits the division from collecting the fees and conducting the checks upon the effective date of this section. All moneys shall be deposited in a special account in the state treasury to be known as the "Parolee's Supervision Fee Fund". Expenditures from the fund shall be for the purposes of providing parole supervision required by the provisions of this code and are not authorized from collections but are to be made only in accordance with appropriation by the Legislature and in accordance with the provisions of article three, chapter twelve of this code and upon the fulfillment of the provisions set forth in article two, chapter five-a of this code. Amounts collected which are found, from time to time, to exceed the funds needed for purposes set forth in this article may be transferred to other accounts or funds and redesignated for other purposes by appropriation of the Legislature.
(c) The division shall consider the following factors in determining whether a parolee or probationer is financially able to pay the fee:
(1) Current income prospects for the parolee or probationer, taking into account seasonal variations in income;
(2) Liquid assets of the parolee or probationer, assets of the parolee or probationer that may provide collateral to obtain funds and assets of the parolee or probationer that may be liquidated to provide funds to pay the fee;
(3) Fixed debts and obligations of the parolee or probationer, including federal, state and local taxes and medical expenses;
(4) Child care, transportation and other reasonably necessary expenses of the parolee or probationer related to employment; and
(5) The reasonably foreseeable consequences for the parolee or probationer if a waiver of, or reduction in, the fee is denied.
(d) In addition, the division may impose, subject to modification at any time, any other conditions which the division considers advisable.

I figured that flatting UTG repped a lot of strength as I would be flatting here with AA,KK,AK etc, to let the fish in the middle come along.
On the flop I felt that he would be c-bet giving up a lot of his range, but that he also would be pressed to fold KJ and possibly KQ here when I raise because of how strong my line looks.
Im not strong with bet sizing, but the reason I made it $140 basically because I wanted to make it look like I was pot committed and less like a steal by min raising.

How can I set up a Windows wallpaper feed using my SmugMug account?

Hunting is too dangerous for kids
The story in the newspapers about the 7-year-old child who got lost in the woods after hunting with family is both appalling and terrible parenting. Taking a 7-year-old, or for that matter any child, hunting is risky and inappropriate. In this case the child wasnt shot by accident, as is usually the case in these accidents while hunting, but got lost overnight in freezing cold weather. I wonder where the parents were? Deer hunting is dangerous enough already without exposing your kids to the bullets buzzing by your head from other hunters shooting at everything that moves. Thats not including your own rifle going off by accident and killing your best friend or kids. Just ask Dick Cheney, who shot his buddy while quail hunting. The 78-year-old victim had a heart attack after getting shot by Cheney.
So, leave the kids at home and go hunting yourself if you have to. If people are in the woods with children they better stay close to them.

Munday Moguls Don't Let The Talk Get To Them
By: Alyssa Orange
Updated: December 6, 2012
"Coaches game plan us well so we know what we are going in to do. People keep talking, but we try to block that out so we know what to do and do it well." Says Senior Jake Myers.
"Last year, everyone though we were a good team, but Windthorst was there and they had been in the State Championship the year before so everyone kind of expected them to be there. Now we are kind of in that role this year, and lots of people make their opinions known and have expectations. These young men have been though this enough to know you have to take this one week at a time." adds Head Coach Patrick Corcoran.
" It's all fun, listening to it. It gets you excited, but you kind of need to block it out, keep it out of your head so it doesn't get you real high above where you are. Keeps the team nice and level." says Senior Logan Groves.
"It's the 4th year these boys have been in the playoffs, and so from the get go when they are Freshman, they hear the same thing. We are playing this one week at a time, because if you don't take care of this one the season's over with." continues Corcoran.
More of that hype surrounds this game against Albany as the Lions and Moguls meet for the second time this season on Friday at Clyde.

Geri Halliwell and the 2013 Ivor Novello Awards London. Departure Photos
The 2013 Ivor Novello Awards were held yesterday afternoon at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane in London an event which traditionally honours hit writers from the world of rock and pop. Thought I'd take a look and see what was going down……if anything.
Emeli Sande and Calvin Harris seemed to dominate the headlines for this event which had a guest list including Alt-J, Ben Howard, Beverley Knight, Calvin Harris, Cerys Matthews, Gavin Rossdale, Geri Halliwell, Jake Bugg, Katy B, Liam Gallagher, Lianne La Havas, Lily Allen, Michelle Gayle, Natasha Khan, Noel Gallagher, Peter Gabriel, Randy Newman, Richard Jones, Sarah McDonald, Shaznay Lewis and not forgetting The Maccabees.
Passed on the arrivals for this event and thought why not try Departures for a change and see whats cooking. Wrong move! Turned out that some paps thought "Yesssss this is the place to be" as well and it turned into be a bit of rugby match free for all. What fun? Maybe I should have gone to the slightly more civilised arrivals after all…… or maybe one of the other 3 events on that night far away somewhere else. Hmmmm?
Geri Halliwell seemed to cause absolute chaos when she left the event and she dominates the photo gallery.
Results of this photographic wrestling extravaganza below.? (more…)

Despite my recent "ocean phobia", your whole gallery reeks of peacefulness and calm. I just love it. Like a plan of some sort between two worlds, sometimes it's just a stanby with no expectations and sometimes it's more dynamic, more like the great inspiration you take before diving.... Oh my what nonsense I am saying again. I've better take my leave.... WOW! This is a fantastic gallery. Your photographs are amazing. You have a wonderful artistic talent! Thank you for sharing your art.
Oh my god your photos are incredible! you have a real talent with this! I absoloutely love underwater photography, and I can honsetly say that you have some worthy, beautiful, and completely gorgeous art here! You should be proud of your very gifted talent!

The Colorado Rockies reportedly are outrighting third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and will be in the market this offseason for a new glove at the hot corner.
There's plenty of speculation about which players the Rockies might pursue, with the New York Mets' David Wright at the top of the list. Other potential targets, according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post, include Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox, the San Diego Padres' Chase Headley and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Pedro Alvarez.
But Jason Churchill of ESPN Rumor Central (subscription) and Prospect Insider, suggests the Rockies could go a cheaper route – trade for Mariners outcast Chone Figgins.

Another West Nile case reported in DuPage County
Dr. Hans Diehl
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:12AM
A second DuPage County resident has the West Nile virus.
The DuPage County Health Department Aug. 16 reported that a Villa Park man in his 50s is the second human case of West Nile virus in the county this year. There have been 12 cases reported overall in the Chicago area.
Health Department officials said that the presence of West Nile virus is widespread in DuPage County, so the risk of getting the virus is elevated and may remain so until the arrival of cooler temperatures. The department is warning residents to concentrate on personal protection and urged them to be cautious, but not curtail outdoor activities.
The number of human cases is expected to increase, since the Health Department said additional reports have been received and confirmation is anticipated in the coming days.
West Nile virus is transmitted to people by infected mosquitoes. The best way to prevent West Nile virus disease is to avoid mosquito bites, Health Department officials said.
There are no medications to treat, or vaccines to prevent, West Nile virus infection. People with milder illnesses typically recover on their own, although symptoms may last for several weeks.
In more severe cases, patients often need to be hospitalized to receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication, and nursing care.
Anyone who has symptoms that cause concern should
contact a health care provider.

Self Titled
Thrash metal has a lot of things going for it, but room for creative maneuver generally ain't one of them. The thrash revival of the last few years has proved this point ad nauseum—when was the last time you heard a young crew of thrashers who had more to offer than homage to their forbearers?
Once in a while, though, a young(ish) band steps up and does something a little different with thrash. Meet Walken, a bizarrely-named San Francisco act featuring two thirds of renowned progsters Grayceon. Though this band has technically been together since 1999 and self-released a debut album in 2004, they continue to be virtual unknowns—this self-titled sophomore effort is just as DIY as its predecessor.
Given Walken's membership, it's unsurprising that their style is a little tough to pin down. Their sound is unquestionably rooted in thrash metal first and foremost, but it's peppered with outside elements. Axemen Sean Kohler and Max Doyle (Grayceon) favor a comparatively low-gain, vintage guitar sound to thrash's typically steely tones. Along with Grayceon drummer Zack Farwell's 100% non-digital drumming, their tonal approach gives Walken an organic, almost classic-rock feel. This atmosphere is heightened by Doyle and Kohler's gift for baroque, soaring guitar interplay akin to fellow Bay Area denizens Hammers of Misfortune (particularly the thrashier August Engine material). On top of it all, bassist/vocalist Shane Bergman calls hardcore punk to mind with his scrappy howl and equally ragged clean singing.
But in the end, Walken are a thrash band, and they prove it with the album's first three tracks. All three are hard chargers. "Nadir" tosses a stately march into the mix, and "Running Out of Time" has a touch of Mustaine-style blues influence, but the accretions are woven into the band's terse thrash rhythms with remarkable deftness.
As impressively as it begins, Walken really peaks with its next three cuts. The dourly majestic instrumental "Thunder Paws" hearkens heavily to Doyle and Farwell's other band, but with a hell of a lot more guitar crunch. Follow-up "Bitter Red" is built around pulse-pounding doubletime and an anthemic shout-along vocal line from Bergman. By the time the nearly-melodeath blastbeats of "The City With No Seasons" kick in, most listeners will be marvelling at Walken's ability to bring so many approaches into a cohesive, distinct sound.
Afterwards, Walken falls off somewhat; the album concludes with a series of instrumentals and lengthy, plodding numbers that could easily have been trimmed. But the first six songs alone are more than enough evidence of this band's remarkable gifts. It's no secret around these parts that I'm a sucker for bands who spit in the face of convention, so there's a chance that I look more kindly on this disc than the next guy would. That said, I genuinely believe that Walken have hit upon a blend of ideas that will appeal just as easily to staunch traditionalists as to experimentation nerds such as myself. Check these guys out—they're more than worthy of the support.

In Lollapalooza Lineup Love!!
Calvin Harris…Red Hot Chili Peppers…Passion Pit…Avicii…Black Sabbath, just to name a few. This lineup is an impressive assortment of some of my favorites (old and new) and has me anxiously awaiting August.

Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board:
The City of Arvada has reviewed the proposed guidelines offered by the
Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) for
the Design of Accessible Rights-of-Way. After careful review and discussion by
City staff we offer the following comments and suggestions:
1. Section 1102.2.2 Alterations. We look forward to the future release of
guidelines for alteration projects and would encourage the Access Board to
carefully consider its impacts to items that many municipalities consider
routine maintenance. An example of this would be in the replacement of short
stretches of existing sidewalk (i.e. 5-15 feet) that are not currently 48 inches
wide. Given existing constraints (such as right-of-way limits) it may be best to
continue with existing 36 inch wide sidewalks, but keep them in good repair
through replacement of cracked, broken, and/or raised sections of the pedestrian
2. Section 1102.3 Alternate Circulation Path. The suggested requirement that
alternate circulation paths must be parallel and on the same side of the street
as the disrupted access route will be infeasible for many projects that are
under construction or maintenance. In many cases adequate right-of-way is not
available to build such a path, and in these cases obtaining additional
right-of-way would be cost prohibitive, disruptive to private property owners
and users, and impractical. We would suggest that instead the requirement
include provisions that safe and accessible pedestrian crossings be required for
access to alternate paths, and that these paths may be located on either side of
the street as per the requirements of the MUTCD. The impacts to projects that
require only brief (up to one day) impacts to the pedestrian route also need to
be considered in these requirements.
3. Section 1104.3.2 Detectable Warnings. The City considers these to be a major
concern for maintenance and especially snow and ice removal. These devices will
be impossible to completely remove snow and ice from and will create additional
safety issues with a slippery surface for all users of the pedestrian path. If
it is not possible to remove these requirement then we would urge the Access
Board to consider the suggestion that detectable warnings should not be required
on curb ramps and blended transitions that are detectable by a slope of at least
1:15. This would help to minimize the concerns that we have by limiting their
use and overall numbers.
4. Section 1104.3.4 and 1104.3.5 Grade Breaks and Changes in Level. Grade breaks
or vertical changes between ramps and the gutter I flowline assist in the
drainage of storm water and the prevention of ice build up on ramps. These
breaks also help vehicles to better determine the traveled way versus ramps and
pedestrian routes and helps prevent vehicles from traveling over these areas
when making turns at intersections. The strict language as proposed does not
take these situations into consideration and we believe this will have an
adverse impact on pedestrians of all abilities.
5. Section 1104.3.6 Counter Slopes. Current industry practice and drainage
design assumes a counter slope on gutters to be 1: 12. The requirement of 1 :20
as a maximum will create drainage problems by reducing the capacity of the
gutter. Since the 1: 12 is a current standard and does not appear to present an
undue burden on pedestrians we would recommend that this section be modified to
read as such.
6. Section 1105.2.1 Crosswalk Width. The minimum width of cross walks should be
as stated in the MUTCD (72 inches) except as local conditions may warrant. The
universal requirement for 96 inches is too large for the relative size of many
intersections, as it will require vehicles to stop at a distance farther from
the intersection. This will cause vehicles to commonly encroach into crosswalks
when stopping at intersections so that drivers will have adequate sight distance
at the intersection. Also, in many areas the number of pedestrians using a
crosswalk at one time is small and the need for people of any ability to pass
each other is minimal, thus a universal requirement of 96 inches is not needed.
This would also equate to an unfounded mandate that would increase the cost of
crosswalks by nearly 33% for the additional material, time and maintenance for
the additional width. This additional cost will cause municipalities to
re-consider the placement of marked crosswalks and reduce the number of them.
7. Section 1105.2.2 Crosswalk Cross Slave. The proposal of limiting crosswalk
cross slope to 1 :48 (2%) will be difficult if not impossible to meet at many
locations, particularly those regions like Colorado that present many
topographic challenges (i.e. hills and mountains). The current industry standard
for intersection is up to 6%, which is necessary in area with steep grades. In
order to achieve the 2% it would be necessary to create a steeper grade leading
up to the intersection, and would thus also increase the grade of the sidewalks
adjoining the street leading to the intersection, or may require the acquisition
and expense of additional right-of-way and disruption to private property users.
8. Section 1105.3 Pedestrian Signal Phase Timing. It is our belief that this is
an issue to be addressed at specific locations and signals and should not be a
uniform requirement. The increase in the time required by the change from
current practice of 4 fps to 3 fps will cause many issues with the progression
of traffic signals and will create additional delay to the traveling public, the
consumption of additional fuel, and the creating of additional air pollution
from this increased delay. The additional pedestrian crossing time is not needed
in most cases and will cause additional red signal time that will frustrate
motorists and will led to an increase in the occurrence of red light running,
thus endangering more pedestrians and motorists. This issue should be addressed
as needed and requested in specific areas and/or communities.
9. Section 1105.5 Pedestrian Overpasses and Underpasses. The guidelines
requirement of an elevator for rises over 60 inches is unrealistic and causes
other safety concerns with the use of unsupervised elevators that may be placed
in remote or unmonitored locations. Many times we grade separate pedestrian
paths from roadways to increase t11e safety for the pedestrians by eliminating
the need to cross the path of vehicles. This requirement would make the building
of these separations considerably more expensive and would likely led to many of
them never being constructed. The on-going maintenance of elevators placed in
weather and environmental elements and in remote locations and along busy
corridors will create a large burden for municipalities. We are also concerned
about the safety of people using elevators in unmonitored areas where help would
not be readily available in the event of mechanical malfunction or in the event
of criminal action. We recommend that this requirement be removed and other
options be considered.
10. Section 1105.6 Roundabouts. The requirement to install traffic si~a1s on
each leg of a roundabout eliminates all advantages to this type of intersection.
Placement of traffic signals at each leg would be in violation of the
requirements for signals in the MUTCD and will generate confusion for drivers as
to what actions they should take at a roundabout. The confusion that would be
created by signals placed at roundabouts would cause safety concerns for all
users. Recent studies have indicated that roundabouts provide an overall safer
intersection for a1l users, and when crashes occur they are usually at lower
speeds resulting in less serious injuries and damages. We recommend that this
requirement be removed and additional options researched and considered.
11. Section 1105.7 Turn Lanes at Intersections. The requirement that free right
of left turn lanes be signalized will add confusion to the operations of these
lanes at a signalized intersection, including confusion on who has the right of
way for turns versus the through movements given the different signal
indications that will be present. The additional delay the elimination of these
lanes will cause will generate additional air pollution, burn more fuels, and
decrease the operating efficiency of the road network. This would also defeat
the purpose of these improvements by eliminating much of the additional capacity
this type of lane gives an intersection. The problems and costs generated by
this requirement will probably led to the elimination of the use of these types
of turn lanes and will thus impeded a high number of users. We believe that it
is possible for pedestrians of all abilities to safely cross at these devices
when they are properly engineered. This requirement maybe acceptable at areas of
high pedestrian volume but should not be a blanket requirement.
12. Section 1106.2 Pedestrian Signal Devices. The requirement of audible and
vibrotactile indications of the walk interval should not be required at all
intersections. We currently install audible indications of the walk interval
when requested and have had complaints from other disabled users that this is
not necessary and causes them more difficulty. The volume requirement is also
difficult, as with current equipment the volume would have to be set for the
noisiest time of the day. Even at current settings we receive complaints from
people who live or work near these signals about the noise. Increasing the
volume is likely to increase the complaints and present new problems for all
involved, including visually impaired individuals who have complained that these
devices make it more difficult for them to discern the sounds of vehicular
traffic. The need and use of these devices should be a location specific
determination and upon request of the users.
13. Section 1106.3 Pedestrian Pushbuttons. The requirement of locator tones for
pedestrian pushbuttons will led to additional noise pollution and confusion for
pedestrians given the number of different audible noises mixing with and
changing the background sound. This tone will also mix with the audible walk
indicator for other phases of the signal and will create a mixture of different
sounds. The need and use of these devices should be a location specific
determination and upon request of users of the facility.
14. Section 1102.4 On-Street Parking!. Since block lengths can vary greatly
depending on the layout of the roadway network this requirement is extremely
problematic and may cause more parking areas to be designated than intended. We
suggest that this requirement be eliminated and that guidelines could be offered
for the use of on-street parking and the creation of accessible spaces. The
guidelines should take into consideration the type of area and the size of
blocks that are present.
15. Section 1109.2 Parallel Parking Spaces. The requirement for a 60 inch wide
access aisle will be a problem in winter conditions. These areas will not be
accessible to plows and thus will not be cleared of snow and ice. Drainage
around this spots will also be difficult leading to accumulations of water,
debris and ice. Since most van and car lifts do not need an area that is flush
with the street this requirement may not be necessary .Instead we would suggest
that the requirement be that the sidewalk be of adequate width to allow for the
lift access. It is also unlikely that a driver will be able to pull all the way
into the access aisle since it would be a difficult maneuver for anybody
para11el parking.
As the stewards of public money (taxes ) we are required to consider the costs
and benefits of what we do. Many of the items discussed in this letter would
cause additional cost burdens to the taxpayers, and in some instances would
create hann or lessen the benefits to the general public of facilities in the
right-of-way. These issues must be considered in anything that we endeavor to
complete and should be considered in any final rules that are made. Action on
these guidelines and future proposed rules should be delayed and additional
input from all members of our society and communities should be considered and
used in crafting the final requirements.
The City also voices its support and strong encouragement for the Access Board
to consider the comments and recommendations
adopted on October 14,2002 by the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Their review and comments provide a good
summary of concerns from officials throughout t11e transportation profession.
We appreciate the opportunity to offer these comments and trust that they will
be of use
in drafting the final guidelines and ultimately in any rulemaking that may occur
on this issue. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact the
city Public Works Department at [...].

Traditionally, a witch bottle was a jug or flask. They were made of stoneware or green, amber or blue glass depending on the available ingredients of the witch. The stoneware was glazed with salt with evil looking bearded men to ward off evil. A replica of any earlier time, of a tyrant who killed witches.
Historically, the witch's bottle was filled with the maker's urine, hair or nail clippings and red thread from sprite traps. In more recent years, witch's have filled their bottles with protection herbs like rosemary, nails, needles and pins, and red wine.
The bottle has always been buried at the farthest corner of the maker's property, beneath the hearth, or placed in a secret spot in the house, like inside the walls. After being buried or hidden, the bottle captures evil by impaling it with the sharp objects, drowning the negative energy with the wine, and sending the evil packing from the rosemary.
Seawater or earth may be used if you know what kind of evil is looking for you. Other types of Witch bottles contain sand, stones, knotted threads, feathers, shells, herbs, flowers, salt, vinegar, oil, coins, or ashes. A similar magickal talisman to protect yourself when you travel is the "lemon and pins" charm.
When you've captured an evil within the confines of the witch's bottle, cast it into a fire and when it explodes, the spell is broken and the evil dies.
Bottled spells date back hundreds of years to Elizabethan England, when witches were in vast numbers and not always conjuring "white magick". In ancient buildings, people find witch bottles buried under the stones of the fireplace, under the floorboards, and plastered inside walls.
As long as the witch bottle remains buried, hidden and unbroken, the spell is strong. The tradition has it's origins in the 16th century. In very ancient times witch bottles were made of stone and were filled with rusty nails, urine, thorns, hair, menstrual blood, and pieces of glass, wood, and bone.
To make a witch bottle today, choose ingredients that will benefit you the most. Seal the bottle with wax to make sure the contents stay within and bury or hide your witch bottle.

And then there is the Indian Mystic, Osho. He spoke for thirty five years on many spiritual masters and enlightened ones, sharing deep insights into their teachings.

People interested in listening to classical and folk music from Asia - India, China, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand. Anyone can suggest a theme, artist or tradition and facilitate an evening where we play that music at sound system of a bar, club or other suitable venue.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
I thought a meetup group would be a great way for IITians in the Seattle area to meet each other and network (mostly) socially and (also) professionally. I plan to propose meetups around hiking & camping, board games, shows & plays, movies, eating out and good old bulla sessions. I invite group members to organize meetups, too. So if you or your significant other identifies him/herself as from an IIT, join the group and forward this to your IIT friends. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi Guys,
I ran into a problem on Sunday and was wondering if you could help. I recently built myself a new computer. Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra Mobo, Pentium 2.0 GHz processor, 512 MB 2700 DDR RAM, 80GB HDD, DVD-ROM, CD-RW and a Gigabyte 128MB Radeon 9000 Pro 2 graphics card. It was running fine until sunday morning when my mains power tripped off. When i put the power back on and turned on the computer again everything seemed to start up except my graphics card, my monitor just went straight into standby mode. I switched it off and turned it back on again and the same thing happened. I was wondering if it might by my power supply (300Watts) isn't supplying enough power to the computer so it's 'skipping' my graphics card. I got it working now (took it all apart and put it all back together, didn't change anything) but want to prevent this happening again. Any ideas what could be causign this?
Thanks In Advance
