Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa Vanderpump Talks Dancing With the Stars on Extra
Lisa Vanderpump, scared of something? Why, we never! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star stopped by Extra and spoke to Mario Lopez about her newest role as a cast member of Dancing With The Stars.
"Clearly, it's the most glamorous, gorgeous show on television," Lisa said, even though she admits that running her businesses doesn't leave much time for TV.
So are her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates supportive of her new role?
"Some of them are," Lisa said. "Say 50/50, let's put it that way. Some I haven't heard from, some are really supportive."
At least Lisa can always count on support from two very important people: Her DWTS partner, Gleb Savchenko, and husband Ken Todd.
And how is Lisa's dancing is coming along?
"I'm looking for my rhythm," she admitted. "How can I not have rhythm with him? If I don't have it, I'm bloody well going to find it."
Gleb is happy to help. "She laughs all the time, so I need to be very strict with her!" he said of their rehearsal time. The pair's first number will be a ballroom routine, and from the looks of Lisa's form, which she happily demonstrated with Mario, she's going to be juuuust fine.
And what is husband Ken's reaction to all this? "Oh, he's thrilled for me, getting up close and personal with a young, hunky guy," Lisa joked. "I've got Gleb, he's got Giggy."
Sounds like everyone's a winner!

Preparing for Medical School Admission
Your preparation for medical school admission begins during your first week at Bryn Mawr. Our step-by-step workshops explain the medical school admissions process, including the various requirements and expectations of different medical schools, and help you with the process of self-assessment that will lead to selecting schools to which you will apply. We offer practical workshops on preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) as well as an in-house study course, which teaches you study and review strategies for the MCAT.
Jodi Domsky, the director of the postbac program, will personally advise you, as often as needed, in all phases and aspects of the medical school admissions process. These aspects may include how to prepare your medical school applications, how to write your personal statements, how to select schools, and interview preparation. The director also writes a comprehensive and personal premedical committee letter for each student. Our staff will assemble your completed letters of recommendation for electronic transmittal to your selected medical school(s).
Learning About Particular Medical Schools
Bryn Mawr offers the largest selection of conditional early-admission agreements with medical schools, and we were the first program to provide structured opportunities for students to visit these schools during the fall semester.
At each school, you will attend a group orientation meeting with the dean or director of admissions, talk with current students, including graduates of our program, tour the medical school and its affiliated hospital(s), and perhaps even observe a class. We provide contact information for our alumni at each school so you can follow up with any questions you may have after your visit.
Making the Most of Your Glide Year
If you are not going to medical school through the consortial process, we will assist you in your search for a medically related job in the "glide year" between the time you complete our program and enroll at medical school, provide letters of recommendation, and support your applications. Because our program is so well respected in the medical community, we regularly receive job leads and postings, including positions created with our students in mind. Recent graduates of our program also provide us with information and contacts about where they are working during their glide year, and even pass their jobs on as they enter medical school. These jobs are posted online. We can also help you create your own ideal job through networking with medical school faculty whose research or clinical specialization matches your specific interests.
For example, our students have recently worked as:

Are you interesting, intelligent and enjoy great conversation? Then let's converse over coffee, tea or wine!
I am cosmopolitan, well traveled and enjoy great conversation, laughter, romance and good company. I enjoy life and value the things that are most important - love, family, spirituality and Joie de vivre! Working hard at the appropriate times is important to me. My goal is to work hard to live well and not live to work hard. I strive to spend quality time with people I enjoy and I always take the time to enjoy friends and family. I am goal oriented, creative and love rip roaring laughter! Travel is a passion of mine - I have been on 4 out of the 7 continents (in Europe we were taught there are only 6, but I am in America now) and would like to visit the other 3 some day, although I am not completely sold on Antarctica. I enjoy being outdoors: boating (preference for sailing), hiking, biking, playing tennis, swim in the ocean (as long as the sharks are far, far away) snorkeling and hitting golf balls. Although not outdoors, I also love playing squash and racquetball. I do enjoy the occasional adrenaline rush, especially if it doesn't involve being chased by the cops down a freeway, but I have been known to go scuba diving in the ocean without prior lessons, skiing on the advanced slopes in Tahoe…although it was my first time, hiking an active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii…. etc. etc. etc. (those who think this may be stupid... we probably wouldn't be a good match.) I would love to meet someone who is educated, intelligent and confident (not to be confused with arrogant); who is well travelled and has views and opinions on world and local issues. My ideal match is intelligent, kind, compassionate, motivated/ambitious, as well as generous with his time and affection; and definitely a great conversationalist, who is also comfortable with the subtleties of silence. He should also enjoy spontaneity, adventure and making things happen! If any of this sounds like you - I look forward to meeting you at hello!

Not into snakes or birds.
My favorite travel destinations are anywhere in the Caribbean, Europe and Punta Mita, Mexico. However, I love discovering new and interesting places so I look forward to visiting places like South America, Southern Africa etc.
International travel, white sand beaches, reality TV, good conversation, most genres of music (except some country and heavy metal) good movies, meeting new people, adventure, good food, a good book and great conversation.
I enjoy the outdoors, so weather permitting I like to go to the ocean, hiking, walking and cycling. During my indoor moments I love curling up and watching a good movie and riveting reality shows. I enjoy the Spontaneity esp. with travel.
My last reads were: WSJ, Financial Times, US weekly, People Magazine and a book called an Accidental Affair by Eric Jerome Dickey.

Hurrah! No more needles. Norwegian company OptiNose claims to have devised a new and more efficient way to deliver vaccines and drugs through the nose (GB 2378393 and WO 03/000310).
The trick is a mask that fits over the nose and which contains a thin nozzle that can be poked up inside one nostril. An inflatable cuff that surrounds the nozzle expands to seal the nostril closed, and a small pump inside the mask puffs the drug through the nozzle into the nasal cavity. From there the drug can enter the bloodstream and brain. OptiNose says its nasal delivery system is ideal for treating neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and can also deliver the exact doses needed to treat diabetes.

Eastern Arizona ready for tourism boom after Wallow Fire
PHOENIX -- It was over Memorial Day weekend two years ago that the Wallow Fire was ignited by a pair of careless campers.
It became the largest wildfire in state history, burning more than 500,000 acres. The fire threatened several communities and forced the evacuation of thousands of people.
Two years later, and eastern Arizona is expecting huge holiday weekend crowds.
Becky Christiansen heads up the Springerville/Eagar Chamber of Commerce and has watched a rebirth of tourism in towns like Alpine, Eagar and Greer, among other communities.
"The fishing and hunting is very much alive," she said. "The weather is cool and we have a lot of events going on this weekend."
Christiansen didn't downplay the significance of the Wallow Fire but points out that it burned in patches and only 10 percent of the area was severely burned.
"They're places where you can't see any burned areas. This forest is millions of acres and it is still beautiful."
Christiansen expects packed hotels and restaurants all weekend long as people look to escape the Valley heat in the high country.

were found to be more "rootless" and have withdrawn socially compared to case-controls (Appleby et al., 1999; see also Trout, 1980, on the general role of social isolation on suicide). Bille-Brahe (1987) attributes the differences between Norway and Denmark's suicide rates to be due to difference in social integration; and in Norway, where the level of integration among young men was reported to be in decline, suicide rates among this groups are increasing. Over time, the doubling of the Irish suicide rate since 1945 appears to be directly related to lower levels of regulation and integration (Swanwick and Clare, 1997).
However, social and cultural groups can also be repressive, stifling, and conducive to suicide. In circumstances where the social group demands 100 percent loyalty and commitment, individuals lose their capacity to decide on options to crises. In these "greedy groups" as Coser and Coser (1979) called them, individuals are called on to demonstrate their commitment to the group and its causes by handing over the power of life and death to the group's needs (See Box 6-1; see right and back side of the social safety net). Under these circumstances, the social network ties of
BOX 6-1 Cases of "Altruistic" or "Fatalistic" Suicide: September 11, 2001, Jonestown, and the Branch Davidians
There have been a number of recorded instances of apparently ideologically motivated suicides best explained by understanding the power of the group beliefs over individuals. The terrorists who willingly gave their lives to promote the anti-American cause of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization; the over 700 individuals in Jonestown, Guyana, who drank cyanide-laced Kool-Aid; and the members of David Koresh's religious group who allegedly set fire to their compound in the face of the federal government's attempt to enter, all represent cases where individuals were expected to give up their lives for the group and its cause. In some cases, there is debate whether these are situations where the attachment to the group was so strong that individuals had handed over their lives willingly (over-integration) or whether there was coercion (over-regulation) involved. Nevertheless, there is no evidence, for example, that the religious extremists who become "martyrs" have a mental illness. Palestinian and Israeli psychiatrists and psychologists who have interviewed "suicide bombers" (recruited or foiled) are impressed with their acceptance of suicide as a highly positive status, a moral status that is elevated by their commitment to a radical religious goal. These are all seen as suicides explained not by individual level decisions or problems but by the power of the social and cultural groups to which individuals belonged (Black, 1990; Maris, 1997; Pescosolido, 1994).

Report: Arizona homeowner charged $20K by fire department
PHOENIX -- A Valley couple is in shock after reportedly receiving a nearly $20,000 bill from Rural Metro Fire Department after their home burned to the ground.
According to the Huffington Post, Justin and Kasia Purcell received the bill about two weeks after the Aug. 12 fire destroyed their Surprise home near 163rd Avenue and Dixileta.
"I couldn't believe it," Justin Purcell told The Huffington Post. "We lost our home, we just had a baby and now we're going through this. It's crazy. We don't know how we are going to come up with the money."
Justin said they were charged because Rural Metro is a private fire department and its services are not covered by a fire district assistance tax he paid. That tax only covers volunteer fire services.
The Purcells' insurance company said it would not cover the bill.
"I was told by our insurance company that they don't cover fire departments in county areas," Justin Purcell said. "I asked our insurance [representative] what the typical city fire department charges them and he said he had never seen a bill for anything over five or six thousand dollars."
Rural Metro spokesman Colin Williams said the Purcells' bill was justified, as they did not pay a subscription fee that would have covered the $1,500 per fire truck and $150 per hour for each firefighter.
"Of course they knew they had an obligation/option to pay our annual subscription. ... They, along with others across Arizona, in areas we serve, elected to ... roll the dice that they would not have a fire -- they lost," he said. "We provided service to them and now they are mad. This is not new. We bill for unsubscribed fires all of the time. ... Why should these people ride the coat tails [SIC] of their neighbors who elect [to] have a fire service contract with us?"
However, the Purcells claim they had no idea a subscription existed.
"We would have paid it in a heartbeat," Kasia Purcell said. "We never received a letter from them."
Other neighbors told Fox 10 they had no idea the subscription existed.
Fox 10 also reported that the Surprise Fire Department was the first on the scene. Rural Metro showed up about 10 minutes later. Williams said the Purcells' bill includes costs for the Surprise firefighters.
Rural Metro has recently filed for bankruptcy and some residents questioned if that's the reason for the large bill. Williams denied that claim.
"I can categorically reject that as it being somebody's concern, however it's in no way a means for us trying to generate revenue," said Williams.
The cause of the fire has not been determined.

Rene Auberjonois shared his thoughts recently on playing Odo, including what he thought the character would be, how Odo evolved, and Odo's relationship with Quark and with Kira Nerys.
One of the aspects that Auberjonois liked about Odo was knowing next to nothing about the character and watching him evolve. "So, where I thought in the beginning that I didn't want to know where he was from and loved that it was a mystery, I also loved the fact that when we got a script – one that focused on Odo and his world – I'd learn something new that I didn't know about the character," said Auberjonois. "I would have to ingest it and incorporate it into this character that was being built over seven years.

Monkey Bread: Vegan and Gluten FreePosted by ♦***Admin--Dia***♦ on May 31st, 2009. Filed under: Casein Free, Dairy Free and Vegan, Vegetarian, Wheat and Gluten Free.
I remember the first time I experienced Monkey Bread–I was eight years old and at a very wealthy girl's tenth birthday party. I expected an extravagant cake, so when this lumpy pile of balls approached the table with 1 measly little candle on it, I was taken aback. I asked, "What the hell is that?" "We don't say hell in this house Miss Dia," my friend's mother whispered, "It's Monkey Bread!" "WHAT?!?!" I screamed, "There are monkeys in this bread?" "Ha ha ha ha, no dear, it's just called Monkey Bread," the mother explained. "Why????" "Time to blow out the candles!!!" Needless to say I was ignored. My point is, I don't know why it is called Monkey Bread–even Wikipedia doesn't know:
The origin of the term monkey bread is uncertain. Possible etymologies include that the bread resembles the monkey puzzle tree, [2] or the act of several people pulling at the bread is reminiscent of monkey behavior.
Regardless of where this cakey treat got its name, the sloppy sticky bread balls are fantastic! I have been meaning to bake this for a while now, and finally got around to it early this morning. Making Monkey Bread from scratch is not exactly quick, but if you have the patience and the energy, you will love the outcome.
I decided to do a Gluten Free/Vegan version–I'm vegan and am on a gluten free diet.
For the Dough
2 tablespoons vegan spread , softened, plus 2 tablespoons melted
1 cup warm rice milk
1/3 cup warm water
1/4 cup caster sugar
3 tsp instant yeast
3 1/4 cups Gluten Free flour
2 teaspoons table salt
For the Brown Sugar Coating
2 cups soft dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons vegan spread, melted
Preheat oven to 95° Celsius(check out the new converter on the right)
Once the oven is heated, turn off again.
Grease a bundt pan with the 2 tablespoons of softened vegan spread
For the Dough:
In a bowl, mix together the yeast, water, milk, caster sugar and melted vegan spread. Set aside.
In a large bowl pour in the gluten free flour and salt.
Mix together and then form a well.
Slowly pour in the milk/yeast/sugar mixture into the well, while stirring with a wooden spoon.
Stir until dough becomes firm and difficult to move.
Take dough and place on a lightly gluten free floured surface.
Kneed with hands for approximately 15 minutes. The more air you get into the dough, the better.
Shape into a nice big dough ball.
Take the big dough ball and place it in an oven friendly dish, and cover with tin foil.
Place this dish in the preheated, but turned off oven, and let it sit inside for 1 hour.
This will help the dough to rise more quickly.
While the dough is rising start making the brown sugar mix.
For the Sugar Coating:
Take out two bowls. In one put the soft dark brown sugar and cinnamon.
In the other put the melted butter.
Set both aside.
To Form the Bread:
After the hour is up, remove the giant dough ball from the oven ready dish.
Replace this dough back onto the lightly gluten free floured surface.
Roll out the dough to an 8 inch square.
Slice the square into four sections.
Take each of the four sections and slice them into tiny squares.
For my Monkey Bread, I made around 45 tiny squares.
Roll each tiny square into a little dough ball.
When all the balls are rolled, dip them into the melted vegan spread, and then into the brown sugar bowl.
Ball by ball, layer inside bundt pan. Stagger seams in new rows.
Cover the bundt pan with tin foil.
Preheat oven to 175° Celsius
Place bundt pan inside oven for 35 minutes.
When finished baking, remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Please do not forget to let bundt pan cool, we don't want your Monkey Bread to fall apart.
After the pan has cooled, turn over the Monkey Bread onto a plate.
You can either drizzle fondate icing over the top, or dust the Monkey Bread with icing sugar.
I decided to do both. I know, sugar overload!!

Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring

Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring is a 3D fighting game released as an arcade game in 1998 and later ported for the PlayStation in 1999. It was developed by Seiichi Ishii for Dream Factory and published by Squaresoft.
For the PlayStation, it received the subtitle God Bless the Ring. The word "Ehrgeiz" means "ambition" in German, and also happens to be the name of Zell's most powerful weapon in Final Fantasy VIII.
Ehrgeiz met with mixed reviews in the United States and was never released as a Greatest Hits game, thus defining it as a rarity to some.
Ehrgeiz differs from the traditional 3D fighting game because it allows the players to roam freely in the battle arenas. This means that characters do not always have to be facing each other during a match. This restricts the camera to a more or less fixed position, zooming in and out with the action, but not tracking around the arena as would be common in most other 2D and 3D fighting games. The fast-paced battle system features arenas with platforms to jump on and backgrounds to interact with.
The PlayStation version features some minigames based on track and field events and one based on the board game Othello. It also features a quest mode in which the player fights through dungeons finding items such as armor, weapons, and spells.
Original CharactersEdit
- Ken "Godhand" Mishima
- Han Daehan
- Prince Doza
- Yoko "Yoyo Yoko" Kishibojin
- Lee Shuwen
- Sasuke
- Dasher Inoba
- "Wolf Girl" Jo
- Koji Masuda (PlayStation version only)
- Clair Andrews (PlayStation version only)
- Django/Red Scorpion
Final Fantasy VII charactersEdit
- "Guardian" Cloud Strife
- "Summoner" Tifa Lockhart
- Sephiroth (PlayStation version only)
- Vincent Valentine (PlayStation version only)
- Yuffie Kisaragi (PlayStation version only)
- Zack Fair (PlayStation version only)
References to the Final Fantasy seriesEdit
Ehrgeiz's main tie to the Final Fantasy series is the ability to play as a number of characters from Final Fantasy VII. All of them have a Limit Break ability, where they turn red and their power increases. Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth are playable immediately, while it is necessary to unlock the rest by beating the game with different characters. The Buster Sword and Masamune can be drawn and wielded in combos, and Yuffie and Vincent have their trademark ranged weapons, but the game relies more on brawling in hand-to-hand (punches and kicks) combat.
Though Red XIII is not in the game, the boss character Django bears resemblance to him in his alternate coloration, while his default coloration resembles Seto's stone form. Django's moveset also references Titan, Hades, Leviathan, Chocobo, Bahamut, Ifrit, Shiva, Phoenix, Bahamut ZERO, Mega Flare, Giga Flare, Knights of the Round, Seto and Nanaki. Ehrgeiz also features music from Final Fantasy VII (arranged by Takayuki Nakamura, composer of all other music in the game). The titular sword Ehrgeiz is said to contain Materia, as well.

Florists love Valentine's Day
Of all the wholesale traders and retailers of Valentine's Day related products, florists made the most sales on this Valentine's Day. The sale of flowers has reportedly been high this year and the seasonal vendors of flowers enjoyed the increased demand and rates of flowers and bouquets. Flowers make a universal gift, which fits for all occasion and leaves the recipients with traces of fading fragrance. Although red is the color of Valentine's Day but it has been observed that overall sales of different kinds of flowers in varying shades remained on higher in demand this time. There are various reasons behind such impressive statistics of flower sales on Valentine's Day 2012, including better advertisements and people's increasing desire to cherish every happy moment they get.
Undoubtedly, internet has played a major role in increasing youngsters' craving for celebrating Valentine's Day more jubilantly and social media is that particular platform used for this purpose. To exploit this medium, different florists have set their profile pages on websites such as Google+ and Facebook as well as used their business websites effectively to take and process online orders for flower bouquets. Folks struck with cupid's arrow were seen active on such portals looking for the right flowers for their sweethearts. The delivery truck drivers started their day early to make sure that all orders are met in time. The florists were overwhelmed with the increasing orders and remained busy all day taking more from the last minute customers.
The interesting thing observed on this Valentine's Day is that sales of other gift items remained low. According to the economists, the slow economy worldwide is the reason why the average spending on Valentine's Day this year has reduced by 15%. The flowers, however, are an exception. Rather the fall in sales of other items increased the sales of flowers to quite a noticeable extent. Because of recession and inflation, those who would have bought some expensive jewelry or perfumes for their lovers, were forced to buy candies and flowers. The sales statistics of flower on Feb 14th, 2012 clearly tells that florists loved the Valentine's Day this year.

Softball Closes Regular Season With Critical Series At UC Santa Barbara
May 6, 2014
Long Beach, Calif. -
Complete Long Beach State Game Notes (UCSB)
Complicating matters is Cal Poly, who remains one game back of both teams - a sweep of UC Riverside for the Mustangs and a split between the 49ers and the Gauchos also throws the third-place team into the mix.
Long Beach State leads the all-time series with UCSB 77-37-1, and won last year's series, but dropped the last series on the road in UC Santa Barbara in 2012.
Long Beach State leads the Big West in nearly every offensive category in 2014. Through May 5, The Beach is first in batting average (.308), OBP (.385), runs (288), hits (432), RBI (260), and doubles (66).
Shayna Kimbrough was named the Big West Player of the Year in 2013, and is topping her numbers in 2014. The junior shortstop is hitting .395 in 2014, and has 64 hits and seven stolen bases on the year while leading the 49ers in on-base percentage at .464. Her numbers are even better in Big West competition, where she's is hitting .400 and reaching base at a .471 pace.
Cya Neal is also sharing the offensive load at the top of the order. The senior is hitting .373 in Big West conference play, and is hitting .354 on the season, third on the team. Neal also 62 hits, has hit a team-high four triples, and leads the 49ers with 10 stolen bases. Neal also has just seven strikeouts in a team-high 175 at-bats, which ranks among the nation's best.
Senior Ashlynn Booker has been an important part of Long Beach State's recent surge. Booker is leading the team with a .421 batting average in Big West play, and is slugging .791 on the year, with 10 home runs in 91 at-bats. Booker also set a major school record with a 7 RBI in one game against Cal State Northridge on April 27.
Long Beach State reached 20 wins for the 31st straight season. The 49ers have never had fewer than 24 wins under either Pete Manarino or Kim Sowder, and have never finished under .500 under Sowder in her seven seasons at the helm.
Against Hawai'i, LBSU also passed 30 wins. Under Sowder, Long Beach State has hit 30 wins now in five of her eight seasons, and now 25 times in the program's 34 years.
Long Beach State had nine games on ESPN networks this season, as ESPNU showed the first game of Long Beach State's doubleheader with Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, April 16, and then ESPN3 carried the conclusion of that series. Additionally, Long Beach State's home series with UC Riverside on April 5-6 and Hawai'i on April 12-13 were previously shown on ESPN3.
After last week's losses, LBSU fell to No. 45 in the RPI, but can still make up ground with a good showing against UC Santa Barbara, second in the Big West with an RPI of 59.

Lindsay Lohan asked for $500k to promote Mr Pink's Ginseng Energy Drink in Dubai according to RadarOnline reports. A source told Radar, "Mr. Pink is prepared to offer the actress $200,000, and would pay for all of her travel expenses."
"However, the trip might not happen at all because of Lindsay's criminal past and current pending criminal charges."
"Dubai has very strict laws about convicted criminals entering the country, and Lindsay is still on probation for a necklace theft case."

opinionBy Sokari Ekine
The spoken word poet and performance activist explains her work and her experiences of being a 'butch lesbian' in South Africa.
Andiswa Dlamini is a spoken word poet and performance activist from Durban, presently living in Cape Town.
After spending some seven years writing and performing her own poetry, Andiswa felt she needed to expand her work by becoming more creative. Recently she began experimenting with drama as a way of exploring her own identity as a woman and as a 'butch lesbian' and how both of these are triggers for homophobic violence.
Much of Andiswa's work deals with gendered and homophobic spaces, and the physical circumstances in which lesbians are threatened whilst young men are unimpeded in carrying out their acts of violence.
Her latest work is a monologue called 'A Part of Me'. Originally she had set out to write a play in which she tries to embody the mindset of a man who thinks corrective rape is right.
However she found the challenge too difficult particularly as she herself had not lived in the township. It would therefore be dishonest to attempt to portray her sisters who walk within the shadows of rape and murder. Instead she chose to write a play in which she interrogates herself and asks what it means to be a woman and a 'butch lesbian'.
"There is a belief by young men that we ['butch lesbians'] want to be men", she explains. "The poem 'I resent you' was written to challenge this myth. I am not a guy and no matter how 'butch' a 'butch lesbian' is, they will always have a feminine side. Guys seem to think that we want to be guys - we don't.
So what is the point of trying to correct that which is not real. When I sit alone I have my own thoughts. I know I am a woman. I have feminine qualities and no matter how hard they think I am trying to be a man, I have so much of the female factor so no guy should walk around thinking I want to be a man."
Corrective language
I asked Andiswa whether she thought that the use of the word 'corrective' hyphened with rape had in itself begun to be problematic. My thoughts, not wholly convincing even to myself were, that by creating a category of rape in the context of specific kinds of homophobic expressions, and applying it to a specific sexual orientation and or gender identity had somehow made that form of rape acceptable to some degree. Indeed, rapists sometimes use the word to justify rape.
In other words while it is not acceptable to rape a woman, it is seen to be acceptable to rape a lesbian, particularly a 'butch lesbian', because they are not seen as having the same rights of citizenship or community belonging as other women.
Her response was that the word itself made her angry and many factors need closer examination, including who makes the decision to use certain words.
"Just knowing that the word exists raises questions in my head", she says. "Like whoever decided we are going to name this 'corrective' rape and make it known? I feel like it's been made okay. It's been put in a category of its own as if it's normal. Now guys go around as if they can excuse themselves. I don't feel like that's how they should be framing it."
'I resent you'
Much of how Andiswa feels about her own identities and the responses of both her family and men in general is expressed through her poem 'I resent you'.
She explains, "The poem came out of the research for my monologue. I had to ask my family about the reality of me coming out seven years ago. How did they feel then and how do they feel now? What did they accept then and what don't they accept now?
"My sister said something interesting. She knew that's who I was so it wasn't such a shock to her. But she asked, 'why do you have to act so tough like a man, like a protective brother?' If you want to show off your legs, why don't you wear a skirt or dress?
"Then she asked why I resented guys so much. I wanted to find out why she thought this because she kept repeating it. This made me think about how I socialise with guys. I realised that no, I don't resent all guys, only those who try to convince me that I made a bad decision as if my sexual orientation was a choice.
I feel it is hard to sit down with some guys because you don't know when they are going to start attacking you. How do you engage with such people? So basically it was an explanation to my sister.
"There are elements of the poem I really like such as the line 'You are weak and she is stronger than you and that can never change, because she never once questioned her inadequacy in this life'. It's my favourite line because I don't walk around thinking there is something inadequate about me. I think I am a human being. I feel that in order for someone to rape me they must be feeling inadequate about themselves. So I feel that line is very powerful."

Today, April 22, is Earth Day 2009. The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when about 20 million people participated across the USA. Earth Day has grown into a world-wide phenomenon, with more than one billion predicted to take part in Earth Day 2009.
So why April 22?
Rumor has it that Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 because that's the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union.
"Lenin's goal was to destroy private property and this goal is obviously shared by environmentalists," the Capitalism Magazine Web site stated in a 2004 story perpetuating the theory.
Kathleen Rogers, president of Washington, D.C.-based Earth Day Network, laughs at this communist-laden theory.
In fact, she says that April 22, 1970, was chosen for the first Earth Day simply because it fell on a Wednesday, the best day to encourage a huge turnout for the environmental rallies held nationwide.
"It worked out perfectly, because everybody was at work and they all left," she said.
In fact, the April 22nd celebration of Earth Day began as an environmental "teach-in" that first occurred in 1970 and was founded by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson.
Other influential people in the early days of the ecology movement of the 1960s and early 1970s that led to Earth Day include Rachel Carson, author of the bestseller "Silent Spring," and consumer advocate Ralph Nader.
Today, with much more intense focus on issues like climate change and toxic pollutants, Earth Day and Earth Week festivities are growing like wildfire and take place in numerous communities and countries around the world.

The University of Northern Iowa softball team wrapped up its regular season three-game series vs. the Bradley Braves by scoring a 4-1 victory at Robinson Dresser Field. UNI took two of three games from the Braves this season.
UNI (34-12, 18-2 MVC) sent sophomore pitcher Jamie Fisher to the circle to improve on her 17-2 record. Fisher was outstanding tossing a complete game by allowing two hits and one earned run while recording seven strikeouts.
At the plate the Panthers got out to a quick start collecting two runs early in the first. Senior shortstop Mackenzie Daigh lead off in the first with a double followed by a Laura Turner walk. With a Gina Brown RBI single and a Samantha Reimer sacrifice fly the Panthers scored two first-inning runs. The Panthers matched their two-run first inning again in the third after a Gina Brown two-run home run that scored Turner for the second time. The four runs collected were enough to hold off the Braves as the Panthers went on to win, 4-1.
The Panthers will take the field tomorrow afternoon heading to Iowa City, Iowa, for a double-header with the intra-state rival Iowa Hawkeyes at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Following the matchup against the Hawks, the Panthers will continue the busy week traveling south to Carbondale, Ill., Friday afternoon for a three game series with Southern Illinois with doubleheader games scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. on Saturday followed by game three of the series on Sunday at noon.
UNI holds a four-game lead in the Missouri Valley Conference standings following Wednesday night's action. UNI is in first place at 18-2, while Southern Illinois and Creighton are tied for second at 14-6. Illinois State is 4.5 games behind the Panthers in fourth place with a league mark of 14-7. UNI swept its two games vs. Creighton in the regular season and would hold the tiebreaker vs. the Jays. UNI will play at SIU this weekend and the Panthers will close the regular season by hosting Illinois State on May 5-6 in a three-game set.
UNI is looking to clinch its second MVC regular season title. The Panthers' only previous MVC regular season title came in 2000 when the Panthers shared the regular season crown with Evansville and Creighton. All three teams tied at 11-7 in the 2000 MVC regular season standings.

IT'S a solar double whammy. Not only does sunlight melt Arctic ice, but it also speeds up the conversion of frozen organic matter into carbon dioxide.
The amount of carbon in dead vegetation preserved in the far northern permafrost is estimated to be twice what the atmosphere holds as CO2. Global warming could allow this plant matter to decompose, releasing either CO2 or methane – both greenhouse gases. The extent of the risk remains uncertain because the release mechanisms are not clear.
Rose Cory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her colleagues analysed water from ponds forming on melting permafrost at 27 sites across the Arctic. They found that the amount of CO2 released was 40 per cent higher when the water was exposed to ultraviolet light than when kept dark. This is because UV light, a component of sunlight, raises the respiration rate of soil bacteria and fungi, amplifying the amount of organic matter they break down and the amount of CO2 released.
The thawing Arctic is emerging as a potentially major source of positive feedback that could accelerate global warming beyond existing projections. "Our task now is to quantify how fast this previously frozen carbon may be converted to CO2, so that models can include the process," Cory says.

APP OF THE DAY: EggDrop review (Android & iOS)
Christmas may be the time for buying presents but grabbing yourself a bargain is an all-year-round activity. As ever, sometimes you have to reach a little further than the shops to get what you're looking for and today's App of the Day on Pocket-lint is here to help you with just that.
Today, it's all about the second hand, brand new in box and slightly grey market that is, effectively, the digital classifieds. Thought you already had enough places to trawl for bargains? Think again.
There are already some pretty hefty internet market websites out there in the shape of Gumtree, eBay and Craigslist but somehow EggDrop has just about found enough of an angle to justify its existence. The focus here is that it's not so much about what's for sale but what's for sale near you.
The sad truth is that the answer is 'not quite enough' but, fortunately, what is there seems uncannily like the kinds of things those of the tech persuation would be interested in - games consoles, games, Xbox points, TVs, cables, home cinema systems - as well as second hand cars and all manner of nonsense and bric-a-brac.
What's nice is that you still get the feeling that there are bargains to be had. The seller posts their item along with its location, a picture, description and a price tag, and it's up to you then to make an offer if you see fit. The offers stay good until the seller decides to accept one and the deal is done. Pretty straight forward stuff.
What it has over eBay is that it feels a lot more instant with everything a Buy It Now type scenario and no one sitting around until the last minute waiting for lots to expire. It also, of course, gives you an opportunity to shop according to what's nearby and EggDrop really hammers this home by allowing you to search for items on a map view.
EggDrop is well worth a download. You might not ever actually buy or sell anything using it but it certainly feels like the digital age version of walking round with a folded up copy of Exchange & Mart in your back pocket. Nice motor, that. Not really what I'm in the market for.

StyleOnTheCouch Loves: Iris Van Herpenfeatured
Sometimes, Blog Reader, I play the 'if-I-were-a-supermodel-game' of choosing which designers I should like to wear should I have my pick of the catwalks. In this fantasy I am usually dressed in Iris Van Herpen, designer of haute couture, an astonishing combination of fine handwork techniques and futuristic technology. Vogue said of Van Herpen, 'If Lady Gaga and Alexander McQueen ever had a love child it would probably produce someone like Iris van Herpen. The 27 year old designer from the Netherlands has a flare for the dramatic and a sculpture's eye for design'. Often collaborating with artists and scientists in the creation of her garments, this 2011 collection 'Capriole' (Van Herpen's debut in Paris as a member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture) is one of my favourites.
From her website:
"Iris van Herpen made her debut in Paris as member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture with this collection. Besides being a compilation of highlights from previous collections, this new collection also presented five striking outfits that evoke the feeling just before and during a free-fall parachute jump. A 'leap in the air' (the meaning of the French word Capriole) that Van Herpen once in a while takes to reset her body and mind. The five outfits are a reflection of the extreme feelings experienced during that jump. For instance, the dress consisting of serpentine forms made of black acrylic sheets, nicknamed the 'snake dress', evokes the mental state at the moment before the jump when, as Van Herpen explains, 'all my energy is in my head and I feel as though my mind is snaking through thousands of bends For me fashion is an expression of art that is very closely related to me and to my body. I see it as my expression of identity combined with desire, moods and cultural setting'."
Like another designer I admire, Liz Black, Van Herpen focusses on the theme of the female body. Her pieces express the character and emotions of a woman and extend the shape of the feminine body in detail.
"In all my work I try to make clear that fashion is an artistic expression, showing and wearing art, and not just a functional and devoid of content or commercial tool. With my work I intend to show that fashion can certainly have an added value to the world, that it is timeless and that its consumption can be less important than its beginning. Wearing clothing creates an exciting and imperative form of self-expression. 'Form follows function' is not a slogan with which I concur. On the contrary, I find that forms complement and change the body and thus the emotion. Movement, so essential to and in the body, is just as important in my work. By bringing form, structure and materials together in a new manner, I try to suggest and realize optimal tension and movement."
Of course there is the question of how Van Herpen's designers translate into functional pieces for the modern woman's wardrobe. But as fantasy and inspiration goes, my supermodel status dreams have me on the Van Herpen catwalk.

Feb 25, 2011A miserable game that I hope you do not have the misfortune to play.
Mar 10, 2011The problem stems from the fact that you can be knocked off of the platform, and if that happens it's instant death, which means restarting the entire boss fight.
Mar 17, 2011For the most part, Knights Contract is a monumental disappointment mainly because there are occasional glimpses at the fact that it could have been so much better. The frustrating combat, dull graphics, uneven acting, and insipid A.I. make it ultimately impossible to recommend even as a rental.
Feb 26, 2011Given the state of Knights Contract, the famously hellish result of Dr Faust's own little deal seems comparatively sweet. [Mar 2011, p.101]
Mar 7, 2011A monument to not only everything that is wrong with escort missions but with bad action game design in general.
Mar 23, 2011Knights Contract is far too rough around the edges to be worth its asking price. The needlessly frequent cutscenes interrupt the game's flow, combat against the majority of enemies requires little thought, and you'll be constantly fighting either the camera or the level design. The finishing blow is Gretchen's AI, which makes the boss fights annoying instead of exciting.
Mar 4, 2011Hack n' Slash games are abundant and I wouldn't have any problems with Knights Contract if Game Republic took the time to design something clever and entertaining.
Mar 16, 2011Knights Contract can be enjoyable at times, but once players get into the thick of play, the questionable AI, level design, combat mechanics, and even visuals will make it more difficult to feel comfortable with.
Mar 7, 2011Technical excellence does not a great game make. By the same token, a game can be great in spite of mechanical and thematic problems. Games with broken parts can still succeed. Knights Contract does not.
Mar 21, 2011An engrossing quest sadly dumped on from great heights by a few unforgivable mistakes. [May 2011, p.100]
Mar 1, 2011From the awful AI to the jittery camera to the hazardous-to-controllers difficulty spikes, right down to the grammatically-challenged title, Knights Contract feels unfinished at best and lazy at worst.
Apr 25, 2011Knights Contract has a cool premise by design but an abysmal AI completely defeats the purpose and chance at having any fun within.

Mar 13, 2011Before I begin, full disclosure: There is a boss fight, Chapter 7, which is the cheapest fight I have ever encountered. I have not finishedBefore I begin, full disclosure: There is a boss fight, Chapter 7, which is the cheapest fight I have ever encountered. I have not finished the game, nor will I, as this boss is absurd. The basic idea of this game is actually not bad, and the story is unique at least. You play as Heinrich, an immortal executioner looking to be mortal, and protecting a witch named Gretchen. Heinrich is basically the ultimate warrior, heavy armor, uses a giant scythe. Gretchen is your typical caster, squishy, yet capable of screen filling attacks that simply shred enemies. While playing, you mix and match these abilities to decimate enemies. And when you are doing that, the game is quite fun. The difficulty is a little uneven, as some monsters are absolute pushovers while other (non-boss) monsters are actually tougher than bosses. The game's take on life and death is pretty unique as well. As stated above, Heinrich is an immortal and thus cannot die. He can, however, be horrifically dismembered. This then prompts the player to mash the A button to regenerate him. Alone, its a rather neat idea, but the problem comes in the form of Gretchen and her terrible AI. Yes, she can destroy enemies with ease... As long as Heinrich is alive and the player is babysitting her. As soon as Heinrich is down, Gretchen shuts down, her brain turns off and she becomes a damage sponge. So you better mash that A button as fast as humanly possible, because she'll just stand there, taking a beating. It also seems like she takes more damage when Heinrich is down. The healing mechanic is unique as well, as to heal Gretchen quickly, you must scoop her up and carry her. It works rather well, though it can be irritating to try to get her when the screen is filled with death.
And here we come to the major issue this game faces: cheap, ridiculous difficulty and cheap deaths. I say this having played Bayonetta on the hardest setting, wearing out two controllers in the process. I've beaten Ninja Gaiden Black on Hard, and all the God of Wars on their hardest settings, and this is easily the second most cheaply frustrating game i have ever played. If you get hacked apart as Heinrich, expect Gretchen to die, which means you reload the checkpoint and have to face the same enemies, loosing any experience you may have gained so you can't power up your spells. So you die again... and again... and again. Or Gretchen, being the moron she is, stands in lava, or gets knocked off a cliff, or you get knocked off a cliff, ad nauseum. The entire game is filled with cheap deaths like these, highlighted by that boss fight i mentioned at the very beginning. You get surrounded by lava, the boss likes to charge across the arena, and likes to jump and create shockwaves that knock you over..And Gretchen into the lava where she is content to burn to death. After two hours of playing this one boss battle, I have thrown in the towel. Which is unfortunate, as the story had potential and the gameplay could be fun, the game just didn't receive the proper tuning.
I can't honestly recommend this game unless you either like frustration or breezed through Ninja Gaiden 2 (which is the number one cheapest game) on the hardest setting. And I wish i could recommend the game, because does have those unique elements that made it worth looking into. Its just sad the developers couldn't make the unique aspects shine, instead contenting themselves with creating an unforgiving gauntlet of frustration.… Full Review »

Jan 24, 2012This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. In general, I think this game gets a bit of a bad rap. Is it a great game? Not really, but it's certainly not terrible. It's biggest problem is probably the swingy difficulty combined with some poorly implemented Quick Time Events. The combat system is actually pretty good and the magic system is downright fun. The story is good and keeps you interested. The graphics are hit or miss. Some of the cutscenes look pretty rough but the gameplay looks fine. I would like to respond to the reviewer names razil. He mentions the boss at the end of level 7 and he's right. It's really really REALLY hard and pretty cheap to boot. You're fighting this giant fiery sword carrying witch. You're standing on a large square platform. When you run around, the platform tilts. The fiery witch will occasionally jump away and then shoot arrows at you. If you get hit by an arrow it can throw you off the platform.Instakill. You MUST stay in the center of the platform when she shoots. Also, when she glows and is about to stab the ground, do NOT attack her or you will be thrown back and may fall off the platform, same for gretchen. Hold her in your arms when she is about to stab the ground. The burning craters always appear in a T formation under her body so you know where to stand. You have to attack the witch immediately and do as much damage as possible before she starts glowing. Then just avoid her attacks and stay near the middle when she shoots. Also, there is a quick time event after you kill her. If you fail, you'll have to kill her AGAIN! Every time you fail the QTE, its starts over, OMG its frustrating. I finally beat her. The game tells you how many restarts you have on a level. I had 44. Thats right it took me 44 tries to beat her. If you don't want to fight the same boss 44 times, I would not play this game. Otherwise, give it a try. It will challenge you!… Full Review »

To develop a new process for the production of 99Mo using low-enriched uranium targets, uranium dissolution in alkaline hydrogen peroxide was studied. Molybdenum-99 is a parent of the widely used medical isotope 99mTc.The rates of uranium dissolution in alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution were measured in an open, batch-type reactor and were found to be a 0.25th order reaction with respect to equilibrium hydrogen peroxide concentration. In general, uranium dissolution can be classified as a low-base (<0.2 M hydroxide) and a high-base (>0.2 M hydroxide) process. In the low-base process, both the equilibrium hydrogen peroxide and the hydroxide concentrations affect the rate of uranium dissolution. In the high-base process, uranium dissolution is independent of alkali concentration! the presence of base affects only the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen peroxide. An empirical kinetics model is proposed and discussed.
