Emerge's INK! Print Rally Coming in September
Steamroller Art, Live Music and More at Second Annual Event
Local community arts organization Emerge is hosting its Second Annual INK! Print Rally in the parking lot of its downtown Coeur d'Alene gallery on Saturday, September 8th, from 3 to 9 pm. This unique event features a steamroller and hand-carved wood panels to create one-of-a-kind prints on large pieces of fabric. Each panel is hand-carved and inked by a local artist, then rolled and revealed at the event for all to see.
"INK! truly is a one-of-a-kind event for the community," says Emerge Executive Director Jeni Hegsted. "This year, we've partnered with some of our higher education institutes, like Lewis-Clark State College and the University of Idaho, to make this an educational experience as well as an entertaining one. Emerging print artists get to work right alongside more experienced artists to create art right before everyone's eyes on a huge scale."
Event participants include six regional colleges and universities, local businesses, and community-based organizations. There will also be interactive printmaking booths with activities for all ages, local artisans and makers, food trucks, and a beer garden. All of this is set to live music from local bands Hobo Hangout, the Bitch Fits, and the Newman Band. Attendance is free and open to the public.
This year's theme is "Resilience": how individuals, communities, and environments adjust to challenging events, adversity, and natural processes. The showcased prints will reflect processes of adaptation and how resilient knowledge can be used to support well-being.
"The theme coincides with the process of steamrolling panels of carved wood," says Hegsted. "We put a huge amount of weight and physical stress upon the fabric, ink, and wood to create a piece of art that speaks of the artist, and hopefully speaks to the viewer."
It is the mission of Emerge to provide free and affordable arts education to youth and adults in our community. The funds raised during the INK! Print Rally will be used to maintain printmaking equipment for the Emerge classroom, offer scholarships, and provide the needed resources to underwrite diverse art education for our community. All event proceeds benefit the Emerge community arts program.
For more information about the INK! Print Rally or Emerge, visit www.emergecda.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's always nice to see when a cosplayer wanders off the well-trodden path and dresses up as a character you don't exactly see every day.
Like this The World Ends With You outfit. Of all the Square Enix games people cosplay from, it's criminally under-represented, so it's nice to see it get its due here.

Lincoln: A Photobiography
Freedman's biography of Abraham Lincoln transcends the typical juvenile biography by incorporating features typically associated with adult biography. He quotes from primary sources and portrays Lincoln in a fair and balanced approach, discussing Lincoln's faults as well as his contributions. He begins by contrasting legends about Lincoln with the facts themselves. Especially helpful are the sections at the end of the book that include excerpts from Lin...

Wieters lifts Orioles over Royals
Baltimore, MD – Matt Wieters' RBI double in the eighth inning lifted the Baltimore Orioles over the Kansas City Royals, 4-3, in the opener of a three-game series.
Wieters ended with a pair of doubles and three runs batted in for the Orioles, who have won three in a row. Adam Jones had an RBI and two runs scored.
Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen allowed two runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings. Tommy Hunter (2-1) tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win.
"When you don't walk people and you catch the baseball the way we did tonight, you give yourself a chance to win those types of games," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer for the Royals, who have dropped two straight since winning four in a row. Alcides Escobar added an RBI.
Ervin Santana got the start for Kansas City and gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings. Tim Collins (1-1) allowed one unearned run over 1 1/3 innings of relief to take the loss.
Trailing 3-1, Kansas City scored twice in the seventh to tie the game. After Miguel Tejada hit a one-out single, the game was delayed by 48 minutes due to rain. Once play resumed, Gordon cleared the wall in right for his fourth of the season.
The Orioles took the lead back in the eighth after Jones walked, moved to second on Luke Hochevar's throwing error and raced home on Wieters' double down the left-field line.
"The leadoff walk is something that is going to get you in trouble just about every time," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Especially in a late game, and especially when you're facing hitters as productive as the Baltimore hitters."
Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth to pick up his 12th save of the season.
Baltimore scored three times in the first inning. Manny Machado, Nick Markakis and Jones hit three straight singles to plate a run. Wieters followed with a two-run double to right-center field two batters later.
The Royals got on the board in the third. Tejada and Elliot Johnson hit back- to-back singles with one out. Escobar drove in Tejada with a two-out single to right.
Kansas City put men on first and third with one out in the fifth, but Escobar grounded into a double play to end the threat.
Game Notes
The Orioles went 5-4 against Kansas City in 2012 ... The Royals went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded five, while Baltimore went 3- for-11 with RISP and left seven men on.

did they find Noah's ark and where was it
|Answer by Fr. John Echert on 11/6/2012:
Some speculate that it is on a mountain in Turkey--Ararat--but we are not certain. I was stationed at a military site in Turkey in the 1970's and a couple of us sought permission to go up the mountain but the Turkish government would not allow access. The actual ark may or may not have survived these many thousands of years; or I think it very possible that divine Providence has preserved it but its location is unknown to us.

For blessings of the day."

COALINGA, Calif. (AP) — Scientists say two small earthquakes have hit the Central Valley close to the San Andreas Fault.
A magnitude-3.6 quake struck about 15 miles southwest of the farming city of Coalinga Tuesday morning. It was followed by a magnitude-3.3 less than a minute later.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the quakes appeared to have occurred on the San Andreas Fault system. The quakes are too small to cause any visible rupture on the surface.
The San Andreas is nearly 800 miles long and runs from a peninsula just north of San Francisco to the Salton Sea near the Mexico border. It's responsible for some of the most devastating quakes in the state's history.

Introduction to Volume 38
Blaise Cronin
Despite the best-laid plans of mice and men, ARIST never quite turns out as initially conceived. That is not necessarily a bad thing. In the eighteen or so months that elapse from our initial contact with potential contributors to your reading the just-published volume, much will have changed—not, of course, that you will notice, unless you happen to have been monitoring the ARIST Web page (http://www.asis.org/Publications/ARIST/index.html) to track shifts in announced content. We may begin with a clear sense of the shape and scope of the volume, fairly quickly identify some key authors (along with a bench of substitutes), and even receive formal letters of acceptance from our first choices; but for all the usual reasons, what is promised and what is expected is not always what is delivered. In the case of a scholarly journal with a backlog of publishable papers, this kind of last minute shortfall can usually be accommodated (and I write as a sometime journal editor); not so with ARIST. As you may know, ARIST invites contributions for each annual volume; it does not accept unsolicited manuscripts. When, as sometimes happens, we are informed by an author a week before the due date that not a word of the promised chapter has been written, we are, not to put too fine a point on it, up a gum tree. In anticipation of such an eventuality we tend to commission more chapters than we actually want or need, secure in the knowledge that some will not materialize (this year we had a record four "no-shows"). Contingency planning of this kind is all very well, but it means that the end product sometimes differs markedly from the original blueprint. And it is also the case that, as authors embark on their planned chapters, the work sometimes moves in quite unexpected directions, occasionally resulting in a wholesale topic change.
This is merely a roundabout way of saying that, to some degree, we have become accustomed to crafting ARIST on the fly. It is also a fact of life that in many instances the draft chapters we receive are very different indeed from the considerably more polished versions you eventually read. The typical ARIST chapter undergoes major reworking before it sees the light of day, both in terms of content and structure, based on feedback from three reviewers and also the editor and associate editor. The revised chapters are then read and massaged intensively by the editors (this entails considerable interaction with the authors) before being copy-edited by both in-house and outside editorial staff. It is a simple statement of fact—neither parochial bombast nor self-congratulation—to say that the review and editorial activities add considerable value to the original manuscripts; in some cases the final product bears little or no resemblance, stylistically or substantively, with the original submission, as our archival files will testify. This rendition of particulars in some senses foreshadows points Rob Kling makes in his chapter on scholarly publishing, in this volume. I hasten to add, this is not to say that ARIST chapters are flawless in any or all senses; far from it. But they are the results of an extended and painstaking midwifery process, and it is this investment of collective effort, as much as anything else, that contributes to ARIST's continuing credibility in the field.
I have grouped the twelve chapters that make up volume 38 into three broad sections: theory, technology, and policy. That is not to suggest that technology is developed in a theoretical vacuum, that policy does not shape (and is not in turn shaped by) technological developments, or that social theory does not, or cannot, inform public policy. Far from it, as a reading of the chapters by Rob Kling, Yvonne Rogers, and Nancy Van House, in particular, will soon make clear. This grouping is for reader convenience and is, I concede, somewhat arbitrary. For example, Susan Dumais's lucid exposition of Latent Semantic Analysis could, conceivably, be classified under theory. If, for instance, you are interested in current developments (theoretical and applied) in accessing and retrieving information, the quintet of chapters in the technology section will give you a rich sense of the challenges faced by the information retrieval research community, ranging from data mining and knowledge discovery in medical databases (Peter Bath) through Web mining (Hsinchun Chen and Michael Chau) and digital image retrieval (Alan Smeaton) to the evaluation of search engine performance (Judit Bar-Ilan). On re-reading this section I was struck by the fact that all the authors commented on the lack of consistency in definitions. These chapters should provide a useful roadmap for navigating the thicket of terminological confusion and inexactitude that characterizes so much of the relevant literature. You may also note that there is some content echo across these chapters, but we have taken a conscious editorial decision to retain this overlap. A little redundancy can go a long way, communicatively speaking.
Editors, like parents, are not supposed to have a favorite child, but the reality is that one is always wondering which of one's textual progeny may become the next ARIST citation classic. If I had to wager, I'd put money on Nancy Van House's dexterous dissection and elucidation of the sprawling literature of science and technology studies, a domain from which our own field, information science, has at once tentatively and belatedly begun to source models, frameworks, and insights. Truth be told, I'd also place a bet on Yvonne Rogers, whose systematic critique of the eclectic theory base of human-computer interaction will likely be of interest to a wide audience, both inside and outside traditional information science. The third chapter in the theory section, by David Ellis and colleagues, is also important because it addresses persistent and pervasive confusion in the literature relating to notions of community, and the (mis)appropriation of concepts of community by some of those conducting research into online networks, electronic fora, and virtual communities. Once again, the criticality of conceptual clarity and definitional consistency is underscored.
In the realm of information policy, punditry and advocacy co-exist with the results of empirical research. Much has been written (and spoken) about the role and potential contributions of ICTs (information and communication technologies) to political life, but as Alice Robbin and her co-authors make clear, much of that has more in common with hot air than cold logic. This contribution is valuable not only for its filleting of a large literature corpus, but for its elegant explication of different notions of democracy; the introduction sections of this chapter are a useful mini tutorial in civics. Free speech is an important component of democratic order, and the chapter by Alexandre López Burell and Charles Oppenheim demonstrates the legal complexity of notions of free speech in the context of the Internet and World Wide Web. Once more, we find that terminological imprecision and ambiguity are rife, although here the situation is compounded by issues of vicarious liability and transjurisdictional incompatibilities. Fuzzy terminology is also an issue addressed by Patricia Galloway in her review of digital preservation, as she walks us through the differences between emulation, serial conversion, and migration, before introducing us to notions of integrity and preservation metadata standards. Rob Kling might object to having his chapter branded as a policy contribution, but I have placed it here because his examination of heterogeneous publishing practices, norms, and policies may, in fact, help shape emergent practices in the scholarly communication ecosystem. Kling's point of departure is the semantic confusion that surrounds the seemingly simple term "preprint," from which unfolds an analysis that takes issue with some of the popular assumptions about current developments and desiderata in electronic publishing and posting.
Several of our contributors (e.g., Chen, Galloway, Rogers), are first-time ARIST authors, others like Kling and Robbin have graced our pages previously. Several contributors are academic researchers from fields other than information science; Chen is in management information systems, Smeaton in computer science, and Rogers in cognitive science, whereas Dumais uses her background in cognitive science with Microsoft's research group. As information science broadens its horizons (Cronin, 2002), ARIST will continue to recruit authors from both the heartland and the periphery to appropriately reflect the domain's inherently interdisciplinary character.

Good news for theater goers in Westchester.
The Larchmont Playhouse, which closed in September after an 86-year run has been bought by Charles Cohen of New York-based Cohen Media Group and Cohen Brothers Realty Corp.
After much debate about its future -- and a grassroots effort by area residents to save it -- Cohen will keep it as a movie theater, focusing on foreign, independent and art-house films.
Cohen purchased the three-screen theater from IP UTP Larchmont LLC after potential deals with a number of suitors fell through.
The theater, at 1975 Palmer Avenue, was owned at one point by Regal Cinemas but was put up for sale in April with a $1.5 million asking price.
Cohen, who has had experience revitalizing other theaters -- he was behind the revitalization of the Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village and oversaw the renovation of New York's Academy Theatre at Lighthouse International, among other projects -- plans an 18-month renovation and redesign of the playhouse by early 2018.
The billionaire real estate developer and noted film buff said he plans to transform the Larchmont Playhouse into one of the finest art house/repertory theaters in the Northeast, featuring classic, foreign and independent films.
"The audiences for independent and classic films are underserved here in New York and largely throughout the country due to the steady decline in the number of screens as well as the aging infrastructure of the theaters that serve serious cinema lovers," he said.
"I'm hopeful that my efforts to buy and upgrade movie houses of historical importance will have a positive impact in helping to begin to reverse that downward trend."
No financial details on the acquisition were released. Barry Synnott of Coldwell Banker Moves represented the seller in the transaction.
In an email, Betsy Bradley and Ellen Zuckert, the co-chairs of the group that had worked on saving the theater, said that they "are thrilled that Charles Cohen has purchased the theater and will bring movies back to the community."

I once had an encounter with Bill Clinton while he was president.
I remember I liked Clinton right from the very start. He talked about uniting the country while others were busy dividing it, and that was important to me. Plus there was just something about his friendly, open way and his hope for the future that I liked.
Earlier in the year, my wife and I went to Washington as tourists. We saw the White House and the surrounding grounds, but I was always secretly hoping to meet President Clinton. It never happened.
All that year Clinton was subject to really hateful and vindictive attacks, which made my support for him grow all the stronger.
One day I heard he was coming to Providence.
I remember that morning as I went off to work, I told my wife, I might pay a visit to the airport in Warwick where he was expected to land. But I wasn't sure. The main thing that concerned me was the crowds. I just didn't feel like standing in a mob to see a tiny figure in the distance for just a second, and then spend an hour and a half fighting traffic to get home.
At that time, I worked at WPRO radio, which is located on the Wampanoag Trail in East Providence.
The ride home involves heading west on Route 195. At a certain point 195 comes to an end, and you must decide to go either right on Route 95 North or left on 95 South. North would take me home; south to the airport. I was just about to turn right and go north, but something told me to take a left and go south.
I went south and got off at Green State Airport in Warwick.
When I got to the airport, I ran into a massive congestion of cars. I was forced to drive slowly looking for a place to park. The airport was on one side and a Hooters restaurant on the other. The restaurant had a big sign "Mr. President. Hooters Welcomes you!"
Miraculously, I found a place to park about a half-mile away and I ran to an entrance where a long line of people were being searched. I waited and eventually got through and joined the crowd near the runway. The expression "packed like sardines" certainly applied!
Suddenly, I heard a roar! I looked up and there was President Clinton standing on the steps of Air Force One. He is a very good-looking man, even better in person than on TV, and when I saw him, I thought, "No wonder all the women are chasing him!"
He soon disappeared from view, but a short while later there was another roar from the crowd! People were putting up their hands to touch his as he walked along the line! I put up mine and, sure enough, we touched! I ran further down the line, put up my hand again and again touched his! It was incredible to touch the hand of the man I so admired. Not once, but twice!
He worked his way down the crowd, eventually going to a limousine parked on the runway.
In a little while, the crowd thinned out and most of the people left. But not me. I noticed there were two velvet ropes extending from a point near his limousine down the ramp into the airport terminal. I figured if he was going to leave the limousine and walk to the terminal, this would be his route.
So I waited, and sure enough. He got out of the limousine and started to walk into the airport terminal.
The remaining crowd came alive again, and I was right on the rope line where I could easily speak to him as he walked by. About 10 feet from me, he stopped for a woman and her daughter. The woman took out a camera, and her daughter stood beside the president as the woman snapped a picture. He was only a few feet from me at the time and I was hoping to speak with him but at the very last second, as he continued toward the terminal, he turned and looked at the people on the other side of the rope, and he passed me by.
I was determined. I shouted out, "Mr. President. Can you speak with the Vietnam Era veteran?"
He turned around and walked back toward me. Considering all the trouble he had been getting from veterans, especially those from the Vietnam era, I thought it was an amazing display of courage. I could have said or done something really nasty and it would have been all over the news.
Now the path that leads from the runway into the terminal slopes down, while the area I was standing on did not. Which meant he was really standing about four inches below me as he stood directly in front of me. Even so, he stood taller. He faced me directly, and I started to speak.
I had on my sunglasses at the time and there were two tall men on each side of him. One of them interrupted me and said, "Take off your sunglasses!"
I took them off, and I put them in my pocket. It was a warm day and there was dry air blowing from in back of him directly into my eyes. It helped hide my emotions.
I took his hand and his arm. At first, I did not know what to say, so I said what was in my heart. I looked him in the eyes and said, "Mr. President, I am a Vietnam Era veteran, and I just want you to know we love you!"
As I said this, he put his arm around me and started to hug me!
The whole episode seemed unreal. As he hugged, I could feel a very heavy vest that he was wearing, and I said to myself, "Whatever you do, keep your hands visible and don't reach into your pocket for a pen! It will be the last thing you ever do!"
The hug actually lasted for a few seconds, after which he gave me a pat, the signal to break, and I did.
I was in a total state of shock and could hardly believe what happened. When I came out of it, there he was standing facing a TV camera, and there I was standing beside him ... with my arm still around him!
After a few seconds, it ended, and he left. As he was walking away I shouted, "Good luck Mr. President and God bless you!"
I drove home that night hardly believing what had happened. As I entered the door, there was my wife. She smiled and she asked, "Well, did you get to see the president?"
I said to her, "Sit down, honey! Do I have a story for you!"

Murray explores how far local characteristics affected the operation of a criminal justice system transplanted from England; his analysis includes how legal processes affected Upper Canadian morality, the treatment of the insane, welfare cases, crimes committed in the district, and an examination of the roles of the Niagara magistrates, constables, and juries. Murray concludes by arguing that while the principles and culture of British justice were firmly implanted in the Niagara district, this did not prevent justice from being unequal, especially for women and visible minorities. Integrating the stories of the individuals caught up in the legal system, Murray explores law from a local perspective, and illuminates how the Niagara region's criminal justice system operated under hybrid influences from both Britain and the United States.

Over twenty years later, as the Ontario NDP government's minister responsible for all birth, death, and adoption records, including those of her own child, Churley found herself in a surprising and powerful position – fully engaged in the long and difficult battle to reform adoption disclosure laws and find her son.
Both a personal and political story, Shameless is a powerful memoir about a mother's struggle with loss, love, secrets, and lies – and an adoption system shrouded in shame.
In Hope Springs Eternal in the Priestly Breast, Fr. James Valladares shows how justice and charity have been violated by some bishops in dealing with accused priests. He examines the pertinent canons that guide the Churchs judicial system and finds that these are often ignored or wrongly applied. He provides true cases that highlight the injustice of the process and the agony of priests who have been subjected to the charters draconian mandates.
The Church has incurred tremendous financial losses because of settlements rising from both legitimate and false claims. Her image has been marred by the secular media, which has taken advantage of the crisis. Even so, we often fail to understand how trivial these are in comparison to the damage done to the priesthood by the enactment of the charters policies. This is the most pressing issue that the bishops need to address.

"We're glad to have Zixi as part of the Telestream partner network." -Barbara DeHart, VP desktop products at Telestream
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) April 16, 2014
Telestream®, the leading provider of digital media tools and workflow solutions, today announced integration with the Zixi video delivery platform, enabling users to send Zixi transport streams to any Zixi on-premise platform or cloud-based service, including Zixi Ramp. Zixi's cloud-based video delivery system is available as a drop-down destination within Wirecast live streaming production software.

my so-called computer scarf
I'll explain what this odd looking button monster is in a moment. First: some context. There's been a lot of fuss about London's academic libraries over the last few weeks. I'm a bit of a connoisseur of such places so have been following the debates with equal measures of glee and distaste (my take on the subject is posted here). One of my favourites is a specialist library at the Wellcome Trust. Its a lovely place to study for those of us lucky enough to need to consult great tomes on the history of medicine. The interior is gorgeous; it's like you're walking into a George Bernard Shaw play (but with wifi).
Except, last week I got told off by the librarian. I can't bring my laptop case into the reading room. After all, I could be using it to steal books (or smuggling in illegal objects). This is fair enough, the British Library actually check the inside of everyone's laptop when they leave. However I need the case - the little magnetic bit that keeps my computer shut is broken. Without the case, the computer flaps open. And because the shutting mechanism is linked to sleep mode, this means the computer turns itself on and off, on and off, on and off, and crashes. Solution: a super-snug computer scarf (ravelry posting).
Hence why I asked for a stitch with very little stretch. After trying a few slipped-stitch options, I settled on the so-called scarf pattern, because I like the texture. I bought the yarn in Japan and have no idea what it's made of. I think it might be a mix of bamboo, silk and possibly something plastic. Its strong anyway, and a light worsted which I worked on a reasonably tight gauge (3.25mm needles). I made enough to go around the computer and some. I added some buttons up each side (20p each, John Lewis, because no doubt someone will ask), made a few icord fasteners. Viola: a safe computer, without risking the suspicion of those fine librarians at Wellcome.
I'll finish with a screen-shot of the computer in action, as people seemed to enjoy nosing last time (from my introduction, which I forced myself to write this week). After all, it is my largest WIP at present.

i absolutely love the wellcome trust! i went there last summer and spent the whole day drinking in the display of henry wellcome's collection, and joined the library on impulse after the camp secretary with pink hair made me laugh. i still haven't been there (i'd been planning to do an art project on anatomy drawings, but it morphed into storytelling - !) but as you say, not being allowed to bring in bags is a little bit hindersome. i can't wait to see the exhibition on science's influence on textiles. Anyway, your little laptop snap is very cunning indeed.

I love the Wellcome, too! I did dissertation research there. And while I can't say I ever *slept* there, I do remember getting distinctly sleepy while reading nineteenth-century childcare books in the afternoons. . .
Cute solution to your laptop problem! I had the same problem once, and I had to send my laptop off to be fixed. I waited two weeks to get it back, meanwhile writing all my research notes by hand. The agony! Too bad I wasn't a knitter then.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I found getting access to all of the London libraries and archives that I needed to use for research to be almost absurdly difficult compared to comparable institutions in the United States. I don't think that access is the issue -- the issue is how people are allowed to behave once they're in the library or archive.

Ha, my other half had the same laptop, with the same problem with the catch. So he gave it to me and got himself a new one. If I hadn't replaced it, your solution would be very nifty.
The one time I've been to the BL, they were checking everyone's bags. I'd just been being material in Libertys, I think they found it an odd thing to have in one's bag.

As someone who is suffering with finals at Imperial I am v.jealous you get to use the Wellcome library as all I have at the moment is the horrible central library with all the nasty drilling (I get in at 6am but then you have the cleaners come in at 7am and then the drilling begins at 8am. Civil Eng doesn't open until 9.30am). And it's hot and sweaty. Radiators on in the summer? Really?
The laptop scarf is genius - making things you can't buy is what knitting is all about!
Think might have to renew my British Library pass soon as my project is going to need some serious locking-away in a decent library-type of action!
Also - I doubt you would ever need to go there but the Institution of Civil Engineers has a really nice library which feels like an old boys' club smoking room.

I've been aware of this Alpha Mummy blog for a while but it's generally too stupid to even comment on; a woman who titles her blog to indicate she's the best mother in the world, primarily on the basis that she doesn't look after her kids because she would rather write shitty man-bashing articles and call it a career.
This post, Heather Mills didn't get enough money is too dumb to comment on too, but the comments are revealing, particularly several by women demanding to know why men are commenting on the post; how dare men have an opinion on something, how dare we wander in to women's domain of misandry and self-important.
Check out this comment though:
But who am I kidding? Men are like slobbering robots, too dumb and guillible for their own good, and flap around like helpless fish out of water around these 'sharks'.
Just don't blame the rest of us [women] for your selfish mistakes, because the rest of us are lovely, honest, kind and deserve to be treated ... like princesses?- actually Queens!
Posted by: tulip
Nothing personifies modern women's arrogance than this dumb cunt; in the same breath, she condemns, slanders, insults and abuses men, and yet also insists - nay, demands - men worship women because they're so 'lovely.'
If condemning men as 'slobbering robots' and 'dumb' is 'lovely' and 'kind', fuck knows what a complete bitch is like in this twat's opinion. Even her handle, 'tulip', is indicative of the Princess Mentality'; 'Look at me, I'm a beautiful floweeeer!'
Stupid fuck.
It's heartening to see plenty of comments on articles about marriage and relations between the sexes on mainstream blogs and newspaper increasingly dominated by men calling women out on their bullshit. It's also enlightening - but not really surprising - to see that women invariably respond with shock and awe, stunned at men's hostility to them.
Only modern women could be so stupid and arrogant to think that bashing men endlessly would always be met with slavish devotion and pussy-worship on behalf of men. Bollocks. It doesn't work like that, not after the point of no return, which was reached some time in the past. Women better throw their expectations of being treated like Princess/Queens out the fucking window; they're going to be treated with the same contempt they've treated us. I already notice younger guys - those who've grown up in a solid Matriarchy, who've gone through an education system that makes no attempt to disguise it's worship of girls and disgust at boys - display an attitude towards women that makes Marc Lepine look like a mangina.
(Honary mention to this comment too.)

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghanistan's reputation as the world's leading narcotics supplier is well-known, but in a squalid ruin in Kabul, the country hides a darker secret -- a huge home grown drug addiction problem now on the brink of fueling an HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Junkies smoking heroin can get high for $4.
Here junkies lie in their own filth, wasted limbs poking out of blood-spattered clothing as they blank out the abject misery of their surroundings. In one room, a veritable narcotics bazaar offers pills and drug paraphernalia -- with hits retailing at less than $4.
One user claims he has been an addict for 22 years, although it is difficult to talk to any of the dazed and ragged occupants of the drug rooms. The atmosphere is edgy and -- as thick clouds of burning opium fill the air -- dizzyingly toxic.
The Kabul den is just the tip of the iceberg in a country awash with narcotics. The government estimates the number of addicts in Afghanistan could be as many as five percent of its 25 million people. Watch Nic Robertson's report from the 'house of hopelessness' »
And though nascent efforts are being made to tackle the problem, chronic funding shortfalls have prompted the United Nations to warn that drug use will escalate, potentially driving an HIV/AIDS crisis as junkies move from smoking to high risk needle-sharing.
Afghanistan has always been a major narcotics supplier -- responsible for 95 percent of the world's heroin -- although this was scaled back under the rule of the Taliban, which outlawed poppy cultivation and imposed strict penalties for drug users.
Since 2001, when the extremist regime was ousted by a U.S.-led invasion that installed President Hamid Karzai, production has doubled. And for many in the country still mired in poverty and conflict, these cheap drugs offer a tempting escape.
The last United Nations survey of Afghanistan's drug problem four years ago estimated the country's addicts to number about 200,000. According to Afghan Counter Narcotics Minister Khodaidad, the figure is now far greater.
"More than 1.2 million people in Afghanistan are addicts. It's a very huge number and every year it increases," he told CNN.
Khodaidad says the Afghan government is largely powerless to control the production of opium while Taliban extremists, who now control and draw funding from drug crops, control cultivation areas despite major international military efforts to push them back.
"We did very little due to weakness of governors, due to insurgents, due to pressure of terrorism in the area," he added. "We don't have sufficient law enforcement agencies -- the police, the border security force, and other special forces to control this area -- so it will take time."
But, says Jean-Luc Lemahieu, head of the UN's Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Kabul, time is something Afghanistan does not have. As intravenous drug use takes hold, raising the prospect of needle sharing, he says HIV/AIDS will follow quickly.
"The little data we have at the moment are very alarming," he told CNN. "They tell us that we should not wait longer and if not, this country will be saddled with another burden it just can not afford.
"I think it is already happening today. We have seen, now, a few HIV/AIDS cases. Hopefully we can contain the problem, although it is unlikely given the problems with the health structures."
The U.N. has begun a program to detox users willing to get off drugs in Afghanistan. A renovated warehouse in Kabul offers hope to 100 addicts in the biggest facility of its kind in the country. Watch Robertson go inside the detox clinic »
In the center's clean, bare rooms, shaven-headed junkies tremble under blankets as they go through the agonizing cold turkey of weaning their ravaged bodies off drug dependency. Therapy sessions also help motivate them to kick their deadly habit.
"Here we deal with the problem from a humanitarian perspective, not from an addiction perspective, to save lives," says Jehan Zeb Khan, UNODC program manager.
But says Khan, with what little funding there is now dwindling fast, the salvation offered to these lucky few may be short lived -- they will be forced back out on the streets, where more opium dens will flourish, bringing yet more misery for Afghanistan.

Ether Saga is a Chinese F2P MMO based on The Journey to the West with a lot of neat little pet features: Pet taming (you can go out into the wilds and capture various monsters), Pet Fusion (where you combine with a pet to gain stat bonuses), and Pet Melding (mixing two pets to create a new pet with improved stats). Plus, there are special items you can get that can allow you to become a monster yourself for a time and benefit from special attributes. Sounds fun!
Character creation is very sparse, but the designs are pretty, so I didn't mind too much. There are three races: humans (Ren), demigods (Shenzu), and animals that were given humanity by the gods (Yaoh). The three are basically identical except for appearance options and starting pets. Based on your character's race/birthday, you get unique skills every 10 levels. I chose a Yaoh as my first character, because of their nifty fox pet.
Upon appearing in the starter zone, the first NPC I met gifted me with a large package of free potions, food, and a present that I can open at level 5. Nice! Plus, the NPCs speak Chinese when you click on them, which I love (the Russian emotes were something I really liked about Allods Online too).
The newbie zone quests are really friendly: I got a (pretty!) free armor set, various potions and +XP items, a second pet as a quest reward, and one timed kill quest even gave my 5 levels worth of xp in a single turn-in. One downside for some people may be that the countryside is literally swarming with mobs that repop almost instantly (an attempt to minimize the impact of farmers, perhaps?) -- I actually turned off monster nameplates just so they weren't such an eyesore because really, the game is beautiful to look at. The visuals remind me of The Secret of Mana's artstyle, which I like a lot. Quests are pretty much basic 'kill stuff' types, which I personally don't mind at all (I have a pretty high grind tolerance, especially when the mobs only take like 2 seconds to die). Translation is another thing that's a bit clunky in places, and the storyline is a bit hard to follow, but I doubt there's an epic novel going on here, even in the original language.
Once I hit level 15 (levels have come quickly in the first few hours I've played), I can begin taming wild monsters as pets, which is the main gameplay aspect I want to try out. I'll be focusing on that in part two.

Chemex bonded coffee filters are 20-30% heavier than competitive brands and remove even the finest sediment particles as well as undesirable oils and fats. The formulation of the filter permits the proper infusion time by regulating the filtration rate - not too slow, not too fast. Good infusion of the coffee grounds (as in brewing and steeping tea) gives coffee a richer and more full flavor while at the same time making possible precise fractional extraction filtering out the undesirable components which make coffee bitter by allowing only the desirable flavor elements of the coffee bean to pass through.
For all Chemex coffee makers except the Pint (CM-1, CM-1C, CM-1GH).
- 100 filters
- Oxygen cleansed
- Pre-folded circle
- For all Chemex coffee makers except the Pint CM-1
- Fits most conical filter coffeemakers
The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented in 1941 by Dr. Peter Schlumbohm PhD, he used his knowledge of chemistry to create a one-piece drip coffeemaker made of heat proof, laboratory grade, borosilicate glass. This iconic Chemex coffeemaker has remained unchanged for 70 years. It has a place in the permanent collection of New York's Corning Museum of Glass and MOMA NY, and was also selected by the Illinois Institute of Technology as one of the 100 best designed products of modern times.

BioMASS First Year Camping Trip
Hello Incoming Biosciences PhD Students!
Each year, BioMASS organizes a camping trip the weekend before classes start for incoming PhD students to get away from campus and get to know each other and some current students. The School of Medicine and the Medical Center Alumni Association are partially sponsoring our trip this year from Friday, September 18 through Sunday, September 20 at Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The camping is very simple car camping and we can provide all the necessary supplies (if you prefer to bring your own camping supplies, you may). We will even work out carpooling to make sure that everyone who is interested will be able to come.
In order to register for this wonderful event, you will need to go to the following website http://www.stanford.edu/~mmogri/biomass2009.html and fill out the web form BEFORE Tuesday, September 1. We are asking everyone to send in a $20 check to reserve a spot on the trip and to help pay for food/equipment for the weekend (the address and information for submitting the check will be emailed to you after registering, and the check must be received by Monday, September 14). The size of the campsite limits the number of people that we can take, and so we recommend that you sign up/send in your deposit early in order to ensure that you get a spot. This weekend is really a great chance to get to know people outside of your program, and a number of students say that they met their core group of friends during this orientation event. Some pictures from last year's camping trip are available here.
In short…
What?: camping with your peers
When?: September 18-20
Where?: Big Basin Redwoods State Park
Why?: meet new people and have fun!
How?: register at http://www.stanford.edu/~mmogri/biomass2009.html by September 1 & send in a $20 check

He adds payments can be made in person or deposited and must be paid by today. Starting tomorrow, penalties and interest are attached the first of the month each month until they are paid. Statement coupons must also be submitted with payment.
