Running for BOD against a group ticket?
As a candidate for the KCBS BOD I wanted some input on running. This morning as I went through Facebook updates of what all happened at the Jack and other weekend contests I noticed that a group of four individuals have decided to run as a group ticket. This is what I read, "Regrettably wired bbq had some technical issues this weekend so we were not able to make our live announcement. Four of us have decided to run as a ticket for the KCBS board of directors. We all share the goal of making the actions of the BOD more transparent and more accessible to the general membership. Please use your 4 votes to elect Steve Farrin, Jeff Stith, George Mullins and Dave Compton."
I thought that it was an interesting concept but to me and a couple other small team competitors like myself thought that this strategy to run as a group was very similar to what the KCBS BOD looks like now.
I only know Dave Compton personally and I have spoken to him recently about his ideas for the board and I believe he can lend a great deal to the BOD. I don't personally know the others but I believe they are outstanding people and wouldn't do anything to diminish the KCBS as it currently stands.
I just wonder if the campaigning on message boards,paid advertising in the Bull Sheet, and swaying from my reasoning for running for the board is actually worth it when put up against a group.
I feel like a political candidate that has all the right answers with support from like minded people, but without:the finances, the right forum handle, wrong last name, not enough GC's, not owning a bbq establishment, or one of many other socioeconomic variables that I seem to be short of. This seems to be similar to modern politics and what people don't want.
It appears that the only things I have going for me is my love of bbq, the fact I want my son and future generations to enjoy the art of bbq, consistency in bbq education, and a more open and transparent KCBS.
I wonder what the opinions of others relating to this are. Go it alone until the election results are read, or withdraw and spend the time with my family?
Name recognition by CBJs is how you get elected
I should have known it was like that. Sounds like it is similar to needing to be a Kennedy, Bush, or Clinton.
I guess ignorance on my part is bliss for others...:crazy:
I have known 3 of the 4 for several years. They are outstanding folks who tell you the way it is, no need to cover up anything. They tell you the fark the way it is, no bullchit.
Jeff ive met at the A. Royal, George was an administrator here on this forum. He is also a good friend of mine. Mr. Dave Compton is as honest as the day is long. Actually I offered to throw his name into the KCBS election.....He is another no bullchit/nonsense man in my opinion.
The 4 th man, don't recall ever meeting him in person but he is endorsed very highly from the other 3 folks who are running, good enough for me.
I renewed my membership last Friday so I could vote, got busy at the A. Royal a few weeks ago and didn't do it then....grrrr.
I believe these 4 folks can make a huge change, as I know them pretty damned well. Good luck to them.
Do not beat yourself up Mr. Leatherhead, you have a young family. My best advice to you is enjoy your time with them.
I was a former union president at a IAFF local. I took away way too much time from my children. Working 24, 48 and sometime working 144 hr shifts in a row w/o being at home really hurt our family.
The BOD needs people like Jeff, Steve, Dave, and George, but they could use someone lime me too. Adding four people that are like minded made add some transparency to the BOD but you are in the same situation you are in now, a group of buddies that play together and stay together.
I think you are way off on your overall assessment of them and what they can bring.
Ok, tell ya what, make arrangements to chat w/the 4 candidates on the phone if you have time.
I am only speaking as a member.....and....not a moderator of this forum on this issue.
I you wish please go ahead and run as a candidate. I would love to hear your complete platform.
I wish you the best of luck in this issue.
We just need some changes that will help out the members of the KCBS.

Visit the
Advanced Manufacturing Systems - MSc
page on the Brunel University London website for more details!
I studied Advance Manufacturing Systems MSc.The thing that attracted me the most to Brunel was the wonderful mix of subjects on the Advance Manufacturing Systems course. After eight years of working in the industry as a manufacturing engineer, the courses appealed to me, and seemed to have the highest potential to enrich my professional career. With a full heart, I would say that my study experience was simply excellent. Each one of the eight modules was delivered by top professionals and experienced teachers. This made every lesson both interesting and challenging and I hardly missed a class. On top of the modules I had a remarkable experience when working on the dissertation. My supervisor, who is a true professional in his field, was extraordinary both as a tutor and as a professional guide, and I learned greatly from him. My dissertation project highly contributed to my engineering experience and equipped me with some very powerful tools. The dissertation thesis was "Developing Algorithms for Automatic Dimensioning and Tolerancing of Mechanical Parts". The goal of the project was to find an automatic algorithm that defines manufacturing dimensions and tolerances to parts (i.e. cylinder, block, etc) in the most sustainable and cost effective way. I chose this subject because being a mechanical engineer I had to design and develop parts, then to assign dimensions that can be used later for production. My dissertation research had helped me to explore ways for finding more effective ways to assign these dimensions, so that a design will be more economical and costly. In addition, my other goal was to turn this logic into automated system that will save precious engineering developing time. I am currently working as a Product Engineer at and international leading company, Objet Geometrics LTD. I get to practice and bring into use many of the theoretical things I learned at Brunel, and this gives me a great feeling of satisfaction. I also feel that the MSc in Advance Manufacturing Systems was a significant contributor to being accepted to Objet. Finally, I can whole heartedly recommend applicants to come and study at Brunel. It has a wonderful administration team with a good customer service approach, excellent student facilities including a Computer Centre, labs etc. Most importantly, I felt that the teaching staff were highly professional, trained and experienced. All of this creates a wonderful environment for studying and learning, and it certainly was the case for me.

When people think about organic produce, they assume that they are going to cost a fortune, but the truth is that the cost of buying organic has come down drastically in recent years, making it an affordable option for most families across India. So now you can eat food that has been produced ethically and naturally, without paying over the odds. Plus, as an added bonus, you can make even more of a saving by going through vouchercloud and using one of our coupons.
Organic farming follows a mantra of conservation and ecological balance, seeking to remove artificial enhancers, such as pesticides and inorganic fertilisers, from the food supply chain. It may surprise you to learn that up until the 20th century all food was what we now consider organic because it was only then that artificial chemicals were first introduced into farming. Many people believe that this increase in efficiency and productivity of food supply caused a deficiency in the quality and nutritional value of the foods being grown, which is the main argument for eating only organic produce in the modern age. Whatever your beliefs might be, you can save when you buy organic by going through vouchercloud.

TSX gains as gold miners shine, Barrick jumps
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index eked out a small gain on Tuesday, helped by a surge in major gold miners as the price of bullion hit a three-week high, while bank stocks wilted in the aftermath of an uninspiring earnings season.
Barrick Gold Corp (ABX.TO: Quote) jumped 5.3 percent to C$17.91, outpacing gains in shares of its rivals, indicating that investor sentiment around the miner has improved on the back of its recent moves to address corporate governance concerns and strengthen its balance sheet.
"You've already seen some action by the new management at Barrick which has been viewed favorably by the market," said Gavin Graham, chief strategy officer at Integris Pension Management Corp.
"Looking at this stock, it's probably as cheap as it's been in relation to the price of gold in the last 20 years."
Several other gold miners joined in the rise, with Goldcorp Inc (G.TO: Quote) adding 3.3 percent to C$23.08 and Kinross Gold Corp (K.TO: Quote) gaining 5.4 percent to C$5.12, as investors scrambled to cover earlier bets that the price of gold would fall.
"It's encouraging to see gold and gold stocks are up quite nicely," said Elvis Picardo, strategist and vice president of research at Global Securities in Vancouver.
"With a number of sections of the market looking fairly valued or overvalued, it's logical to look at sectors that have not moved," he said. "It's quite likely that gold stocks are getting a second look at these levels."
Gold miners are heavily represented on the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE, which closed the session up 11.23 points, or 0.08 percent, at 13,324.01. Continued...

There may be no more underrated superhero film than Sam Raimi's Darkman. Unable to secure the rights to Batman or The Shadow as he wanted, Raimi instead crafted a new hero that nonetheless paid homage to the mystery men and horror franchises of the 1930s. Raimi created Peyton Westlake (played by Liam Neeson), a brilliant scientist working on synthetic skin to help burn victims. Unfortunately, Westlake becomes involved in an underworld plot headed by gangster Robert Durant (Larry Drake). An explosion at his lab leaves Westlake horribly disfigured but superhumanly strong and utterly unable to feel pain. He uses his synthetic skin to craft uncanny likenesses of mob figures in order to infiltrate criminal gangs in the name of justice and vengeance. The skin dissolves if exposed to light for more than 99 minutes, hence his need for shadows and the name Darkman. Neeson turns in a fantastic performance as the tortured, Phantom-esque figure, while Drake serves as the perfectly smooth yet rotten foil. Darkman remains a truly original and innovative superhero film.

2001 Pontiac Montana Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2001 Pontiac Montana at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
What cause van to not start. Acts like has no battery. When turn key does nothing.
The other day, while driving, my van went into serious overheat mode. We had just checked the fluids and they were fine. I checked the antifreeze reservoir, it was completely empty so I filled with what I had left in the jug. The heat gauge went down and all seemed to be ok. The reservoir needed filling a couple of times, but I thought that if it had actually leaked out, that would be normal. 2 days after, when I started driving, the motor started squealing like mad, van could barely be accelerated, seemed like very little power. We decided it was the water pump and changed that. That reduced the squealing but didn't stop it. The van did run better. However, during the trip, I ended up with no interior heat at all and the van did start to overheat slightly. I thought that maybe we hadn't filled the rad enough and planned to fill when I got back home. After driving for about 45 minutes, I started to get some heat but then seen vapour pouring out of the engine compartment and really overheating again. A lot of engine knocking/rattling also - before and after water pump change. Checked the oil, it wasn't really milky but there was a tiny, tiny bit of white residue on the dip stick. The dipstick indicated overflowing oil... wayyy up on the dipstick but the crankcase seems empty. Are these all related issues or do I have a ton of problems on my hands? Thanks in advance for any and all help.
My 2001 pontiac montana buck jumps sometimes and stalls. I can start the van and drive around with no problems. when i stop and go shopping the car will buck jump and will quit running. when i get it started it stays running while in park.. but as soon as you put it in drive it will quit running. someone told me its the sesor in the transmission. to me sounds like a fuel filter or fuel pump. i dont have the money to keep adding parts to it and the mechanic said it was sesor in transmision or the clutch in the transmission., hope someone could tell me whjat really is wrong
If I put the van in gear it clicks really bad then I put it back into park and it gets even worse, I turned off the car and relised I can push it when its in park? whats wrong?
2001 Pontiac Montana. recently have had issues with it not wanting to go into drive or reverse. Once we get going, it's fine.
Replaced the radiator, water pump, and tstat. Didnt overheat for about an 30 min drive then on the way back home started to overheat. The thing acts like there is a restriction in the water flow also had it flushed.
I have searched the line between tan and firewall of motor and didn't see it
My van has been over revving in park, it also runs a little hot and seems to have more momentum than normal. it also makes a thud noise right before I come to a complete stop, but not right when I apply the brakes. I was out of coolant in the reservoir a few days ago, so it has been filled and I am keeping an eye on it, I also use the air conditioning a lot. Im just worried that it is not safe to drive....i work out of town so I drive 30-45 minutes each way. Does anyone know what this could be?
will not open from any switch, and gives warning buzzer as if van is not in park.
i have tried disconnecting the battery in hopes to reset the computer. but it hasnt helped at all.
we tried ti clear the code many times and the check light comes back on after 20 miles what should i do? and the power is unstable

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
As the general public became fascinated with the Trayvon Martin/ George Zimmerman case in Florida, we at Juarez and Schaeffer couldn't help but monitor closely the goings on from a legal perspective. Now that the jury has handed down its verdict, we would like to analyze the case and provide students and others in the field with some helpful tips. Of course, we analyze everything as though it the events took place in the Southern District of California and, while, we believe that the prosecution made many mistakes in its presentation of the case, we pass no judgment on the validity of the jury's decision.
1) Presenting the Facts
When presenting their version of the facts of the case in opening argument, a litigator must lay a clear groundwork including a plausible theory of how the events transpired the way that they did and why the jury should accept this version. In the Trayvon Martin case, the prosecution, after a blistering opening sentence, failed to adequately paint a picture of their version of events. It needed to be clear, concise and, most importantly, allow the jury to see the facts through the prosecution's prism.
Since the jury was made up entirely of women, it should not have been difficult to paint a picture where George Zimmerman is the lurking and dangerous stalker that all women are wary of. This picture should have allowed the women of the jury to put themselves in Trayvon's shoes as an armed man followed him home. Instead, the prosecution decided to focus on race which, while stimulating the media, muddled the overall picture of the initial confrontation and forced the jury to ask whether or not Zimmerman was a racist. By forcing the jury to decide whether or not Zimmerman was a racist, the prosecution forced the jury to take their eye off the crucial facts surrounding the initial confrontation.
2) Know your Role
A good attorney needs to know the rules of law and evidence in order to hold the opposing party in check. If the attorney does not know a problem when they hear one, then there exists an opportunity to make huge mistakes simply by inaction. For example, during final argument, the Zimmerman defense team told the jury that the charges against Zimmerman could not be proven because the prosecution could not prove that Zimmerman was not afraid for his life. In California, this is called burden shifting and is not permissible so long as an objection is made.
The Zimmerman defense team's entire theory was that Zimmerman had used his weapon in self defense because he feared for his life. Self defense is an affirmative defense and the burden of proving the facts are on the defense and not the prosecution. This should have caused an immediate objection and a correction from the judge in front of the jury. Since Zimmerman did not testify, and all statements heard by the jury from Zimmerman were not given under oath, it would be impossible for the Defense team to prove their affirmative defense. Allowing the other side to shift this burden forced the prosecution into an impossible position of proving Zimmerman's internal feelings at the moment lethal force was used.
3) Work with the Evidence and Pick your Battles
Every case has a different set of facts that a lawyer must work with to convince a jury that their version of events is the right version. Because cases like this are so complex with many different moving parts, it is important to work with the evidence, as opposed to against it, and highlight the good facts while minimizing the negative ones.
In the Zimmerman case, the prosecution argued against what seemed like strong evidence that Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman at the moment the shot was fired. Witness testimony from neighbors as well as the physical evidence corroborated Zimmerman's story that he was taking a beating prior to shooting Trayvon. By arguing this point the prosecution did two things: 1) they forced the jury to see this aspect of Zimmerman's story as truthful, lending credibility to his overall story and 2) they allowed this potentially insignificant point to overshadow the crucial element to the charges, i.e. the fact that Zimmerman was the initial aggressor, following Trayvon through the complex until a confrontation erupted.
The charges against Zimmerman hinged upon proving he was the initial aggressor. In California, self defense cannot be claimed by an initial aggressor unless they unequivocally retreat. By his own statements, Zimmerman was the initial aggressor and it would have been impossible to show a retreat unless Zimmerman took the stand.
In the end, I believe the prosecution made some pretty big errors in judgment, potentially affecting the outcome.

Actor/Storyteller Tim Hartman will be joining us live on today's BlazeCast with Editor-in-Chief Scott Baker (@bakerlink) beginning at 1:00 pm ET: -- Tim Hartman is a man of many talents.
Scooped by
José Carlos
onto Digital Storytelling
Here is a blog post with tips along with several videos where Tim Hartman shares his insights and tips on better storytelling.
I've poked around and so far so good. So I think you will benefit from these pieces. Especially if you are looking for online help with your business stories.
Let me know if you like these and if they are of value to you!
And thanks to fellow curator and his curation Digital Storytelling for finding and sharing this.
This was written by Karen Dietz for her curated content on business storytelling atwww.scoop.it/t/just-story-it
Pitching your ideas to investors is telling a story. You need to get the attention and turn some heads. Hartman's tips are very useful, take a lookk and see what's in it for you. Standing up in front of a panel of investors, or a sitting at a boardroom table with a number of decision makers can be intimidatiing.

问题描述 :
This time you are close to the end of a game where, coincidentally, both gorillas were located at the same height (equal to 0). So, to be more precise, your gorilla is a point located at coordinates (0,0) and the opponent's gorilla is located at the coordinates (d,0). Between the two gorillas there are N buildings (vertical line segments), having different heights. You want to finish the game as soon as possible so you want this shot to be the last one. Therefore, the banana (which is also a point) should be thrown in such a way that it should hit the opponent's gorilla, but not the buildings (although it may touch the top of any building). Furthermore, in order to prove your superior skills to your opponent, you want to choose the minimum speed v for throwing the banana (but you may choose any angle u between 0 and π/2).
When solving this problem, you should make use of the value of the gravitational acceleration g (given as part of the input) and the following laws of motion:
2 1 9.8 0 1000 1 1 500 10000
3.130 141.466
#include <iostream> using namespace std; //计算a^bmodn int modexp(int a,int b,int n) { int ret=1; int tmp=a; while(b) { //基数存在 if(b&0x1) ret=ret*tmp%n; tmp=tmp*tmp%n; b>>=1; } return ret; } int main() { int Z,M,H,a,b,ans; cin >> Z; while(Z--) { ans=0; cin >> M >> H; while(H--) { cin >> a >> b; ans+=modexp(a%M,b,M);//我表示不懂这儿,是看别人写的,我觉得是(a1^b1+.....)%M=(a1^b1)%M+...为什么是((a%M)^b)%M+....?求解释! //(a+b)%c=(a%c+b%c)%c } cout << ans%M << endl; } return 0; }
a1 = m1*c + n1 => a1%c = n1
a2 = m2*c + n2 => a2%c = n2
an = mn*c + nn => an%c = nn
= [(m1+m2+...mn)*c + (n1+n2+...nn)]%c
= (n1+n2+…nn)%c
= (a1%c + a2%c + … +an%c)%c

Ex-Morgan Stanley broker pleads guilty in insider trading case
By Jonathan Stempel
(Reuters) - A former Morgan Stanley (MS.N: Quote) financial adviser pleaded guilty to an insider trading charge for tipping a childhood friend to Gilead Sciences Inc's (GILD.O: Quote) plan in 2011 to buy Pharmasset Inc, three days before the $11.2 billion takeover was announced, court and regulatory records show.
Kevin Dowd, 38, on Monday pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud before U.S. District Judge Anne Thompson in Trenton, New Jersey.
The Boca Raton, Florida resident faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced on January 15, 2014.
Dowd's plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman in New Jersey.
Peter Willis, a lawyer for Dowd, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to court papers, Dowd learned about the pending merger from a Pharmasset director, who had been the largest customer of the Aventura, Florida branch where Dowd had worked.
Prosecutors said Dowd on November 18, 2011 told his friend about the merger, prompting the friend to buy $196,000 of Pharmasset stock and pass on the tip to another investor who bought Pharmasset call options, also betting the stock would rise.
Those bets paid off after the merger of the two makers of antiviral drugs was announced on November 21, 2011, valuing Princeton, New Jersey-based Pharmasset at a roughly 89 percent premium over its share price at the time. Continued...

GUTIERREZ -- Gerald. The Board and Staff of Lincoln Center Theater are deeply saddened and mourn the death of our beloved colleague and esteemed Associate Director. Gerry performed theatrical miracles of direction on the Beaumont stage, most recently with his acclaimed production of ''Dinner at Eight''. His productions of ''Ivanov'' and ''Abe Lincoln in Illinois'' also revealed his mastery of the thrust stage configuration that had proved so challenging in earlier times. Gerry's other distinguished and prizewinning productions for our theater included ''The Most Happy Fella'', ''The Heiress'', ''A Delicate Balance'' and ''Ring 'round the Moon''. Gerry was smart, funny, irascible, visionary and oh, so talented. His sudden departure rents the delicate fabric of our theater and we are profoundly grieved. Wake on January 1, 2-5, 7-9pm, Marine Park Funeral Home, 3024 Quentin Rd, Brooklyn. Funeral Service St. Ann's Episcopal Church, 157 Montague St, Brooklyn, 10:30am Friday January 2. John B. Beinecke, Chairman Andre Bishop, Artistic Director Bernard Gersten Executive Producer
GUTIERREZ -- Gerald. The Staff and Board of Playwrights Horizons joins the entire theatrical community in mourning the sudden, devastating loss of our esteemed colleague and beloved friend, Gerry Gutierrez. For three decades Gerry brought his exhilarating wit, piercing intelligence and passionate idealism to new work on our stages with a creative vision as epic as his craft was exacting. Gerry's love of theater was matched in intensity by his love of politics, music, baseball and dish. His generosity of spirit enlarged and inspired all of us who had the privilege to know and work with him.Continue reading the main story

But that's Rostropovich for you, and at last night's London Symphony Orchestra Pushkin Memorial Concert, at the Barbican, there were hugs all round when the brilliant young Russian violinist Maxim Vengerov dispatched the final flourish of Rodion Shchedrin's Concerto Cantabile for violin and strings. Shchedrin is head of the Russian Federation of the Union of Composers and has an opera, Lolita, to his name. His concerto, which Vengerov played by heart with the utmost intensity, shares its material between the soloist and the strings, echoing, arguing or blending in an ecstatic monologue. Vengerov indulged every imaginable violinistic trick; his tone was ravishing, his fevered expression evidence of total involvement.
Shchedrin was there to share the accolades. It must have been like a dream come true, hearing one of his latest works played with such staggering virtuosity. And there was more. After the concerto, Vengerov reappeared, stole a chair from the second violins, sat himself down, held his violin like a guitar and proceeded to dazzle us with a plucked show piece called Balalaika, also by Shchedrin. His playing beggared description.
The concert had opened with Tchaikovsky's imperious Polanaise from Eugene Onegin. Next came a couple of Pushkin waltzes by Prokofiev, like cameo flashbacks to the great ballets Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella.
The evening ended with that most emotive of Tchaikovsky symphonies, the fifth.Tchaikovsky suggests that this music should be played with plenty of freedom and Rostropovich took him at his word. The tempo increased with the heat; the terrible moments where the brass cries a fateful return of the symphony's opening theme were high in shock value. This was big, brazen Tchaikovsky, unstinting in its commitment and lovably over the top. The LSO held the plot with obvious dedication.

|Lahmejun - Armenian Pizza
"Ugh" was my first thought as I swallowed more pizza. This was not the scenario I had signed up for. I wanted babies in China! Now I was going to a place I couldn't even locate on a map to work with older kids with special needs?! We were we were told we could opt out of the trip if we weren't comfortable with this new plan. Honestly, I was not comfortable. I had never been at ease around kids who were "different". We weren't supposed to be, right? They were kept away from us in school and when I was growing up some of my friends parents threatened to move when they found out a group home for disabled adults was moving into their neighborhood. But I couldn't back out based on prejudice. At the very least, I was developed enough to know that was not the type of person I wanted to be. So, I planned on going even though ever fiber of my being was not looking forward to it on any level.

|Rosie Pope and Margaret Cho on WWHL
Who LOVES Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen? I do! I do! It's just silly fun and not too serious. Andy has on all the "Bravolebities" (Bravo's reality show cast members) and his personal friends like Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Dan Rather. Normally, nothing of substance comes out of the half hour program. It is meant to be a time waster; a wind down before bed. However, last night, Margaret Cho and Rosie Pope were on and something very uncomfortable to say the least, and rage inducing to say the most occurred.
Pope is a maternity concierge in NYC and has a show on Bravo that follows her business as they help expecting couples learn how to become parents and take care of their babies. So natch (naturally for the breve (abbreviation) challenged) there was talk about motherhood and pregnancy. When Cho was asked about her own aspirations to become a parent, she joked about her age, 43, and how her fertile days were numbered. To quote her…
"My eggs are jumping ship. Seriously, they're like, 'last one out is a retard.'"Oof. Pope and Cohen cringed as the audience uncomfortably laughed at her. She sort of paused and looked puzzled about the controversy. She continued on and tried to explain herself a bit more...
"I get worried about that. As an older woman, I don't necessarily want to have a retard."This time, Andy just looked straight up annoyed. When she asked if she can't say that, he said, no, you can't say that. The show continued on.*
Personally, I've been trying really hard to eliminate the "R-word" from my vocabulary. "Retard" has become the derogatory slang word du jour. It is widely considered to be highly insensitive. I'm doing better but have had an embarrassing slip up here and there. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand why we shouldn't use certain words if we don't mean to be offensive to the particular group they label. In my world, "retard" could have been interchanged with "dumb" or "stupid"; hollow fillers used to express irritation with a situation. Much like the way I used to use to the word "gay" until I realized how insensitive it is to use a word reserved for a specific community as a frivolous insult. As I have become more enlightened, I have eliminated using hurtful language regardless of my intent which is why you'll never hear me describe something annoying or negative as "gay" and/or "retarded". For me, this is growth.
|Popularized PC
"Being anti-PC is not sticking it to the Man. It's sticking it to all the people whom the Man routinely stomps on."There is no harm in removing archaic insults when the result leads to sensitivity and understanding. And, BONUS!, you will sound a bit more intelligent when thoughtfully selecting your words.
Cho's word choice goes beyond slang and into the actual problem with the way we view those with intellectual disabilities, however. She is saying she doesn't want to have a child who needs extra care. While her personal fears could be validated, or at least better understood with thoughtful conversation, she eliminates this possibility by using a harmful label that describes special needs children as undesirable. She is falling in line with an abusive precedent which is disappointing given her outspoken history against misogyny, homophobia, and gender roles. This incident certainly doesn't erase her credibility as an activist, but her words do highlight why "kyriarchy" as an all encompassing oppressive concept needs to be embraced by progressives.
Feminists cannot simply be anti-patriarchy because women themselves experience many facets of privilege leading to different forms of oppression when left unacknowledged. Choosing to be anti-kyriarchy evolves traditional feminism beyond sexism to include any type of institutionalized discrimination or favoritism oppressing one group over another. In order to be truly forward thinking, we must take responsibility for our own role in the subordination of others especially when these groups call for change and action against our own behavior.Read this portion of this entry on HelloGiggles!!!

|Crownsville Hospital Center
It seems many are guilty of this "out of sight, out of mind" attitude regarding those with differences we don't know how to fix or understand. This is why I was so fearful before my Armenia trip. A "home" for hundreds of kids with mental disorders!!? My able bodied, able minded privilege had led me to assume it would be an awful, miserable place; better left unvisited. Luckily, I went to Armenia anyway and was proven wrong.
|Teen's playing Super Nintendo!
The Children's Home of Kharberd was housed in an old Soviet concrete block, and while not the most pleasant physical dwelling, the inhabitants seemed to be happy. The friendly and excited staff (Americans don't visit often) showed us all around the facility and introduced us to all of the kids. Ignorance does not always equal bliss because I know this experience has opened my eyes to the goodness and happiness I didn't allow myself to consider before. Most of the children were not orphans in the sense that their parents had died, but were abandoned due to the immense stigma a disabled child stains a family with in their culture. All had mental or physical disabilities and many were afflicted with both. Most were bilingual and some multilingual, communicating with English, Russian, and Armenia. There were not enough resources for all of the kids to attend school, but the ones who were able to were being given the skills to not only learn reading and writing but to become more independent. This was a vibrant, lively place.
|Therapy with staff
Most of the employees were women who were providing physical therapy, craft time, music lessons, and most importantly love and attention to all of the kids. We didn't spend all of our time in Armenia at the orphanage because we weren't qualified with the skills or education needed for the specialized care the kids required. But the time that we did get to spend there was very precious. Our project for the trip was to redo a community room for story time. We scrubbed off the powder paint (typical for Soviet buildings) and repainted the walls peach with one dedicated to a Mount Ararat/Noah's Ark mural. The Bible says that Mount Ararat is where Noah's Ark rests and you can see it's peaks from the children's home so the story has special meaning to Armenians. I was really proud of the finished results and hopefully it remains a cheerful room for the kids to read.
|Noah's Ark Mural
|Our team with the staff who took us to see the sites of Armenia
|The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
is a beautiful account of a woman who would have
otherwise been forgotten.
This is certainly not a simple problem to solve but maybe seeing it as a problem that needs solving is a giant first step. We have made improvements by closing such places as Crownsville Hospital Center and have a better understanding about the different abilities existing in those who are afflicted with intellectual challenges. But we can do more. As we break down barriers of discrimination regarding sexuality and gender, let's not forget oppression exists in varied and pervasive ways. We have a responsibility not only to recognize our own roll as oppressors but substantially contribute to resolve the burden we impose on those we oppress.
* Just so everyone is aware, Cho has apologized profusely for what she said. She explains herself more on her own website!!!

A great first cruise for my family
Sail Date: December 14, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Room Type: Balcony
We experienced excellent service and had a lot of fun on this cruise with friends and family. sea days were very relaxing and we had several excellent shore excursions. The ones through were especially good: We went to the Mayan site Altun Ha in Belize and went snorkeling on the Barrier reef in Roatan.
The reason for 4 stars is that the ship did mess up on tendering when they did not get passengers off even though several tenders were waiting. we lost at least an hour ashore at Belize - luckily our tour waited for us but it was stressful and seemed unnecessary since the gang plank was down and boats were waiting for passengers but our tender numbers were called an hour late (no numbers were called for almost an hour). No idea what was happening. A staff member tried to tell us that there were no boats but we were sitting by a window and 4 tenders were waiting the whole time.
However our other service was excellent with great waiters in the dining room and room service was perfect. Our room was very clean. We also enjoyed the show, especially the piano bar and 88 keys. The family comedy shows were also good with hilarious kids on the front rows that the comedians played right into. We did not stay up for the adult shows but heard they were standing room only. Food was too good - we both gained weight. The young people with us (20s-30s) also had a great time.

|Belize City, Belize
|Great shoe excursion but nightmare tendering. Get an early number if you have a shore excursion
|Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
|our favorite port - really beautiful little island - problems with short time there (ship left at 3) and Mahogany Bay is at the wrong end of the island for diving.
|George Town, Grand Cayman
|We did not go in early - just went on shore about noon and walked around. Would snorkel if I visited again. Liked the people (hilarious taxi driver) and the beaches are gorgeous. ate at Cactus Jacks at the public beach and walked a lot. Lots of iguanas including adoable green babies and a school of tarpon that are fed by local fishermen at one of the piers.
We loved our balconies. We had connecting rooms and had them open the balconies up so we could use both sides and it was great for entertaining.

Shares in private-equity giant 3i hit the skids for the second day in a row, tumbling to their lowest since floating 14 years ago.
The firm's debts are growing as the portfolio of companies it is invested in struggle to find an exit, leaving 3i's share price to taking a battering. It fell a further 26p to 252½p today, but only two million shares changed hands in what is known to be a notoriously thin market. As recently as August, the shares were changing hands at 956½p.
The sums 3i has invested in these companies is dropping and, at some stage, provisions will have to be made in order to reflect their lower value.
Arbuthnot Securities says 3i's gearing is around 50%, which is by far the highest of any company in the sector and will continue to grow as portfolio assets are marked down.
"Other cash-rich private equity companies are trading at a very large discounts compared to 3i, whose share price is falling to reflect this", adds Arbuthnot.
There was not a lot else to cheer in the financial sector, either. Man Group, the UK's largest hedge-fund manager, fell 13½p to 240¼p, reeling from the Bernard Madoff fall-out. One of Wall Street's best-known names, Madoff has been accused of a £33 billion "Ponzi fraud", using funds from new investors to finance payouts for existing clients.
HSBC, which may have lost up to a billion dollars with Madoff, fell 16¼p to 707¾p. Inter-dealer broker Icap was another weak market, losing 17½p at 277¼p. The price has collapsed from a peak of 728p since the start of the year, reflecting a slump in business levels.
Schroders firmed 5p to 850p, after touching 808p in a thin market. Credit Suisse has downgraded shares in the asset manager from outperform to neutral because it reckons they are fully valued.
Any further strong showing by the shares will be driven by merger and acquisition activity. The outlook for sales in mutual funds remain uncertain.
According to the number-crunchers, turnover yesterday on the London stock market slumped to its lowest in two years, with a total of fewer than 1.8 billion shares traded. The London Stock Exchange has altered the way it accounts for trades these days, which makes it difficult to compare like with like. I suspect there have been days this year, at the height of the banking crisis, when turnover failed to match yesterday's number.
Even so, it is difficult to remember when turnover levels last traded at such consistently low levels as they have in recent weeks.
Reflecting this, shares in the London Stock Exchange fell 29p to 569½p. They have come back from almost 2000p this year. Roll on the next takeover approach.
Shares generally were squeezed higher after a slow start as the official inflation rate lurched downwards to 4.1%, while staying way above the Government's 2% target. It seems investors are either taking the opportunity to start their Christmas festivities early or squaring up book positions ahead of the year end. The lacklustre conditions were reflected in the FTSE 100 index, which rose 34.7 to 4312.2.
Mining shares ran into another bout of selling. Platinum producer Lonmin fell 23p to 682½p, still reflecting on Deutsche Bank's move to slash its target from 1290p to 1011p after downgrading its platinum-price forecast. Rio Tinto was also down 75p at 1466p, Antofagasta 20p lower at 424¼p, and BHP Billiton off 47p at 1213p.
Cadbury Schweppes fell 13p to 544p following its latest trading update. Numis Securities has slashed its target from 770p to 550p to reflect the slowdown in North America — a higher margin business that has been growing market share in recent years.
Heritage Oil was among the best performers in second-liners, with the price adding 20p at 240¼p. It is a partner with Tullow Oil, up 45p at 616½p, in the Buffalo-1 project in Block-1, Uganda, which has just struck it rich. Heritage says the well has the potential to be the biggest field in Uganda.

Brazilian oil fields a hard sell after crude price plunge
* Bidding round for 269 blocks scheduled for Oct. 7
* Lower oil prices force Brazil to "adjust calculations"
* Country seeks to double output and exports by 2025
By Vladimir Soldatkin
LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - Brazil said on Tuesday that lower crude prices had presented a major challenge to its plans to sell dozens of oil and gas fields and that it had been forced to "adjust all calculations".
The Brazilian oil industry has been struggling with erratic production levels, tough regulation and a major corruption scandal involving the state-run oil company Petrobras .
The bidding round, scheduled for Oct. 7, will offer 269 blocks in 22 sectors of 10 sedimentary basins. But Brazilian authorities, who aim to double national oil production and exports by 2025, acknowledged the auction may not go as smoothly as they had envisaged a year ago.
"Companies are telling us that they are conservative because of the current level of oil prices ... From August to February oil prices fell from $110 per barrel to $48. And this is the real difference for all the petroleum industry," said Magda Chambriard, director of Brazil's state oil agency ANP.
"This is something that made us adjust all calculations related to this bidding round that were ready in 2014," she told reporters after the bidding round presentation in London. Continuación...

by CaluluI have to admit. I too, just like Sierra, have a problem with Michelle Duggar and her recent comments on the beach and clothing that doesn't fall into the realm of her idea of modesty.These are the only Duggar-approved swimwear available. You might as well be wearing a burkini, at least the burkini is more attractive and modest than these things.Doesn't everyone want to look like a school cafeteria lady at the beach?Here's my rant about it. I never made it to the intellectual depths that Sierra did on the long term repercussions for the Duggar children.

Baptist Taliban: Part 3
by Cindy FosterTHE CHURCH WE WEREThe Preacher and his wife graduated from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. At the time he attended there, the college was quite conservative. There were strict rules about dress, dating, curfews, entertainment, music and much more.The Preacher actually grew up in Springfield and was a member of a church that was not nearly as rigid in its standards as the college was, so in the beginning of his ministry as pastor, he did not have the extreme beliefs that he eventually embraced later in his ministry.It was several years after the church had started and was established with its own building that the more relaxed climate began … [Read more...]
Millipede: Part 9
by MillipedeThat what was forgotten....All this time though a dark wave was cresting over our existence.Through the years as my husband gained weight until he was morbidly obese, health problems cropped up, some requiring hospitalization. As you can guess the bills started coming in. While he was able to pay some of them, the larger one's were never fully paid off. Then there was the truck driving school lone. For a while, my husband was able to make the minimum payment. Then he got behind and was never able to get caught up. He would pay, but always be a month or to behind. All it would take was some other financial need to crop up and we would miss a payment. This made the … [Read more...]
Millipede: Part 8
by MillipedeThe next couple of years were what I would call the "golden years" of Patriarchy. By this I mean that we were living the Patriarchal dream, with the husband "leading" and providing and the wife keeping the home and being submissive. It was the apex of our journey; we were finally living the lifestyle.As i wrote earlier it was during this time that I experienced the joys of having the time to pursue varied interests. My husband drove overland the first year or so and then the latter part, he had a regional route. This meant that he was gone for weeks at a time when he was going across country. Later, with a regional route, he was home every weekend. In retrospect, I think … [Read more...]
Just Pray for Him: How the Christian Church Refuses to Hold Abusive Men Accountable
By Lisa Kroulik © Cross posted with permission from Hub Pages - http://nybride710.hubpages.com/hub/How-the-Christian-Church-is-Failing-Abused-Women One of the more difficult things to recover from during the process of divorce from my narcissistic ex-husband was the treatment I received from other Christians. To be fair, none of it was intentionally mean-spirited and all of these people truly believed they were encouraging me from God's word. Unfortunately, the "advice" I received kept me trapped in an abusive marriage three years longer than I should have been.The thing is, all of the responsibility for keeping my marriage together was placed squarely on … [Read more...]

Millipede: Part 6
by MillipedeI hated the the underlying spirit which had crept into our marriage; it was a peevish, disapproving air that my husband had taken on. In our "heathen" days my husband had a happy go lucky air. This was endearing and made up for the fact that he could be irresponsible.Under Christian patriarchy this changed. Not only was he now "head of the household", but he was responsible for making sure that we lived a "Godly life". This permeated every bit of our life as we didn't want to be "Sunday Only" Christians; God was not someone that we turned our back on for the other six days of the week.This affected how I dressed, what we ate, what entertainment we watched or listened … [Read more...]

I don't want to do it but it's a little slow that spring in my job so I grit my teeth, bite my tongue and start going into his office for four hours every morning.

The wives would gripe very rarely about their husbands and the work and if they did they were sure to say that they weren't in disagreement with the system, ,merely letting off a little steam.The women were just as much true believers. This isn't as I first thought/hoped in that Patriarchy can be a humane system for women. Instead I realized that there will always be those who for varying reasons, become ardent followers of movements which harm them. There are women who will accept or even come to love degradation if it comes approval and "love". Look at people in … [Read more...]

A reference needs to be made for a quick policy review on coal bed methane -CBM, so that, when the coal blocks are allotted, it is imperative for the allottees to plan work on simultaneous extraction of CBM, when they start the mining operation
In line with the Supreme Court directives, the coal blocks will now be auctioned and the tender documents are expected to be announced on 22nd December. The actual auction process is expected to commence on 11th February and close by 15th March so that this matter can be set to rest. Earnest work on the blocks will start later, once other matters relating to environment and forest clearances are obtained.
In the meantime, the Coal Ministry has proposed a minimum floor price of Rs100 as reserve price for State and Central government enterprises and Rs150 for the rest, when these coal blocks are put up for auction. A Cabinet note, circulated by the Ministry is likely to be taken up on Wednesday, 10 December 2014. Depending upon the grade of coal, which varies from block to block, the final floor price will be determined.
The lowest grade of coal with a rating of 2,200/2,500 Kcal/Kg is available at about Rs550 per tonne and the highest grade at 6,200/7,000 Kcal/kg is priced at Rs5,000 per tonne.
These are based on the Coal India notified price for different types/grades of fuel.
Generally, the power sector uses 5,900 Kcal/kg (gross caloric value) and it is sold around Rs2,590/2,800.
Earlier, 74 blocks were earmarked for auction, but now, 18 more have been added to make a total of 92, as per Coal Secretary, Anil Swarup. The mining plan for these 18 blocks has been approved and they have the potential to produce 100 million tonnes per year. However, environment clearance is not there yet.
The tender document is likely to be released on 22nd December and the auctions are scheduled to start on 11th February and be completed by 15th March 2015. Mines would be allotted on a priority basis to specified end users; out of 92 blocks in the first phase, 57 would be given to power sector. Of these 34 may be earmarked for Central and State power sector undertakings.
While attending a workshop organized by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce of India (FICCI), Anil Swarup was speaking to the press when he is reported to have made these statements. He conveyed that the Ministry was also working on setting up an electronic platform where, he said, "we will house all the problems and then take it up with the stakeholders". This platform is likely to be operative in the next ten days.
This electronic platform is expected to include all matters relating to land, delays in obtaining forestry and environmental clearances, among others. Expeditious handling and clearances, or even waivers, to these blocks would enable the stakeholders to get on with the job of mining operations with least delay.
It is in this connection, a reference need to be made for a quick policy review on Coal Bed Methane (CBM), so that, when these coal blocks are allotted, it is imperative for the allottees to plan work on SIMULTANEOUS extraction of CBM, when they start the mining operation.
Several countries like the US, Australia have the expertise in this area, and it may be worthwhile for the successful bidder to invite qualified consultants/partners to assist them to tap CBM which will go waste, otherwise!
