There's a double standard in the world of stand-up, according to Sarah Silverman.
In a series of tweets Monday night, Silverman explained why she chose a career over children. "As a comic always working & on the road I have had to decide between motherhood & living my fullest life & I chose the latter. Men don't have to do that. I'd so love to be a fun dad, coming home from the road & being my best fun dad self," she told her 10.1 million followers. "So this is just a lil f--k all y'all bc u can't be a woman w/out sacrifice & that's the fact jack."
Lest anyone misunderstand her point (as has happened in the past), Silverman tweeted that she loves her "comedian brothers" who "acknowledge this truth" on behalf of female comics. "They're my family," Silverman wrote, "& for a lot of us women comic sisters, our only family."
Columnist and mother of two Ada Slivinski retweeted Silverman, adding, "Becoming a mother has filled my life more than I could have ever imagined. Filled it in ways a career alone never could have." Silverman understood her point, but tweeted in response, "That's beautiful, Ada! Living my fullest life is different than u living urs is all. I'm jus talkin bout me & people like me."
Though Silverman has often said she doesn't want to get married, she has expressed a desire to start a family of her own. In fact, in a 2015 interview with E! News' Marc Malkin, she said, "You know how some guys have a rubber neck about like hot girls' butts or whatever? "That's me with babies and toddlers and even like children and young teens. They fortify me. I love them."
Even then, Silverman knew motherhood might not be in her future. "I just don't have a life conducive to this. I could be a fun dad. I could do that. I could go on the road and come home and 'Daddy's home!' and give them everything I have and just love them to pieces when I'm home and have a career and a life...I live in a little apartment. Sometimes I sit and [think], 'So my guest room would be the baby's room and then I'd just buy it clothes and food?' I don't how people do it. It's so huge. It's so much and there's no going back. It's a big decision," she said. "I don't know how people make it so cavalierly. They're human lives you're responsible for."
Silverman echoed her comments when she appeared on Marc Maron's WTF podcast nearly a year later. "It's a sadness for me because I love kids. I ache for kids," the 46-year-old star of I Smile Back explained at the time. "But I love my life more. You can't have it all; you really can't."

Here's a gander at my latest story, Sex Letter from a Horny Wife. Extremely horny and missing her husband, a gorgeous woman relates her wildest sexual moments in a letter to him, encouraging him to masturbate while she does the same. It's equal parts sexual memoir and jerk-off instructions.
It was our first night as husband and wife and we came together. My juices squirted around the dildo and you shot your hot load down my throat. We moved against one another as we rode the wave, knowing deep in our hearts it was only the beginning of our married life.
Baby, I'm so wet thinking about that video. My fingers are spreading my lips open right now. I'm so hot down there, so moist. I can smell my arousal climbing up my body. Mmmmm, so sexy!
Are you hard now? Are these stories turning on as much as me? It's okay if you want to touch yourself. In fact, that's what I want you to do right now. It doesn't matter if you're in your room or if you're in a vehicle, I want you to reach down into your pants and take hold of that huge cock of yours.
Does your flesh feel warm against your fingers? Can you feel your cock growing in your hand? I bet you're feeling light-headed as all your blood is rushing down to your shaft. Stroke it, baby. Don't mind anything around you, just focus on me. Yes, that's it! Wrap your fingers around your length and make yourself feel good.

TAMPA – As Chien-Ming Wang limped toward home plate on June 15 in Houston, the Yankees' dugout delivered a collective groan that told you how much the right-hander meant to the remainder of the season.
"Everyone in the dugout went, "Oh, (shoot)," Jorge Posada recalled yesterday. "Not having your No. 1 pitcher, it was tough to recover."
The next day, Wang was ruled out for the rest of the season with a sprain of the Lisfranc ligament and a partial tear of a tendon in his right foot. He watched the Yankees fail to make the playoffs.
Now, the foot is fine but Wang is no longer the Yankees' ace. That title has been inhaled by CC Sabathia and the Yankees didn't give A.J. Burnett $82.5 million to be a No. 3 starter.
So, Wang, who is 46-14 in his last three seasons, likely will drop to No. 3 in the rotation. It's the latest illustration of a pitcher who manages to glide far below the radar. Sabathia (seven years; $161 million) and Burnett are the sexy investments while Wang will earn $5 million this coming season.
With a 54-20 career record, a spotless image, a fierce desire to compete and a low-maintenance personality, Wang is the 14th highest paid Yankee. Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano and Xavier Nady each makes more than Wang.
"We all appreciate what he does for us," Mariano Rivera said. "I don't know the business side."
What the Yankees want out of Wang is 200-plus innings and no more health issues.
His running is being limited to indoors to save the pounding, but he is cleared to do everything else. The tinge of tightness he felt running at the minor league complex has vanished and he hopes to be cleared to run outdoors in a month or two.
Andy Pettitte threw in the bullpen yesterday and looked a lot more comfortable than a year ago when he was behind the other pitchers due to his involvement in the Congressional hearings into performance-enhancing drugs. . . . Alfredo Aceves informed the Yankees he doesn't want to pitch for Mexico in the upcoming WBC. Aceves is in the mix for a long relief spot or the No. 5 starter if Joba Chamberlain lands in the bullpen.
Right-hander Andrew Brackman, the club's No. 1 pick in 2007 draft, threw in the bullpen and impressed manager Joe Girardi, who caught him in a bullpen session late last season in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"I saw a big difference. He was impressive, throwing downhill and strikes," Girardi said. "He was only throwing fastballs and split change-ups."
Brackman underwent Tommy John surgery after signing out of North Carolina State.

Maddening Wine
o many Biblical prophetic texts are thought to be simple figures of speech, but the years of studying the Scriptures are now indicating something far deeper is found in such verses. The title phrase, Maddening Wine, is just such a text.
Spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, the "Maddening Wine" was the "fruit" of the wicked ways of yet another metaphor – the nation, people, and religion of Babylon:
"Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad" (Jeremiah 51:7).
Rich in texture, this verse is positively filled with Spiritual depth, doctrine, and even designates future events. Obviously, the last book of the Bible characterizes Babylon in a religious context – leading many to see the decadence of a religion which has become thoroughly corrupt, and Spiritually desolate.
However, in looking at the use of Babylon and the Maddening Wine in Jeremiah, the first thing we note is the "Babylon" in the verse is the instrument of the LORD. In effect, the proper nounBabylon – which we've long known can mean far more than a literal, historic city – is a vessel (a "golden cup" in the present instance) which the LORD utilizes to achieve an objective.
Incidentally, this sequence in Jeremiah's 51st chapter is yet another great example of why the literalists – the "believing" morons who tell us every verse in the Bible is literal – are obviously devoid of Spiritual discernment. That is, unless you think this verse proves that God wants us all to get drunk.
Actually, the Spirit of the age which seeks to confuse and obfuscate the truth, will consistently point us in any directionexcept the right one, for that is the role of the deceiving Spirits whose time for judgment is just around the corner. The fact is, this verse doctrinally states that God is the one who is sovereign, and even an unrighteous vessel (labeled here as "Babylon") is under the sovereign control of the LORD on high.
In any event, the instrument used by God was imaged as a winewhich is so potent that is drives the nations mad. Like so many other prophetic similitudes, the Spirit of the LORD uses universal images which are widely recognized. In the present instance, just about everyone knows if you drink enough wine, it will accumulate to the degree that you begin to lose touch with your faculties, and become drunken.
It is also widely known that the first thing that flees when one is under the influence is good judgment. Thus, at some point, the drinker judges it appropriate to consume more of the very compound which diminishes their judgment. Most anyone who has ever had too much to drink can relate to this, but few in our time recognize the application that errors in judgment are in view.
The New Testament tells those in the end times that God will send "strong delusion" to a party or parties who have not received the love of the truth, but few would connect that oft cited passage with the Maddening Wine of Babylon.
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth…" (II Thessalonians 2:11,12).
The problem with connecting the two streams of identification, regarding the picture of Maddening Wine and strong delusion, is one of assuming things – and I trust the reader knows the maxim concerning what happens when you assume things. Since the "nations" are deceived via the vehicle of the "wine," those that consider themselves believers assume they themselves are not in view.
Further, since those experiencing the Spiritual paralysis of thestrong delusion in II Thessalonians are plainly stated to beunsaved, virtually all "believers" instantly relegate the application to some other person, or some other belief structure. In short, we can't see the forest for the trees, as these passages speak of an all consuming, universal deception which comes upon all the world – and that "world" includes the so called "church" of the last generation.
"For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21:35).
This "snare" – a term which is indicative of a trap – will come on all that dwell on the earth, so even though many believers would aver that their citizenship is in heaven, Jesus is clearly telling us there is a massive pitfall about to snap shut on all mankind.
Perhaps an example is in order. Just in the last 10 minutes, as I was writing this very essay, I received an email from one who obviously considers himself to be a believer in Jesus Christ. This person has apparently heard of our ministry work, and his jaundiced request for more information said the following, and I am quoting from his email precisely:
"I am dogmatic….post-trib pre-wrath last-trumpet pre-millenial [sic] catching away day of the Lord
So, send me anything that supports the truth of the Scriptures in that regard" [name withheld]
It wouldn't really make any difference if he had said he was Pre-Trib, Sabbatarian, or a Methodist (which has been whimsically characterized as a Baptist who can read); the point is, the nature of the communication assumes that he is not deceived, and is happy to receive any material that agrees with his present position.
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (II Timothy 4:3,4).
Most Christians have been taught the previous verse applies to those who have abandoned the faith altogether, and has no application among the multitude of theological variants which comprise the plethora of denominational and systemic approaches to the Gospel. However, the Apostle Paul said thatthe Gospel is very specific, and that anyone who presentsanother Gospel, or another version of how JESUS CHRIST saves those whom He has chosen, is accursed:
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8).
The very fact that Paul references the error as another version of the Gospel – as opposed to a straightforward repudiation of the Gospel – should give pause to all who believe they have all the facts, if they have not thoroughly examined every adjacent theological position.
It's also worth noting the errors found in "other" Gospels are subtly address in the strong delusion as well, for the very Greek word rendered delusion in II Thessalonians, is translated aserror elsewhere in the New Testament. Thus, we could reference the Maddening Wine of Babylon, as a deluding error which is destined to come upon all the world at the time of the end.
-- James Lloyd
A further look at The Snare is found in the ProFile book from the present author entitled THE SNARE.

Throughout most of our lives, medical decisions are quite easy. If we get sick, we go to the doctor and get treated. We listen to the doctor and do what he suggests because it can only make us better. As one gets older, however, these decisions become less cut and dry. People are living longer and often with several long-term illnesses. Treatments begin to offer only limited benefits and often come with painful or burdensome side effects. Now the benefits and burdens of treatments have to be weighed and decisions made based personal goals.

Adding to the difficulty of these decisions is the advancement of medical care. Ventilators, CPR, and feeding tubes have all helped people survive serious accidents and illnesses that wouldn't have had a chance years ago. Because people with chronic disease or life-threatening illnesses have much less chance of benefiting from this technology, it is important for them to discuss life-prolonging treatments with their families and their doctor.

Goals of Care

The place to begin when considering life-prolonging treatments is to identify the intended goals of care. There are three possible goals for medical care:

Cure. This is the standard we are all used to. Nearly all health care is directed towards this goal. We get sick, we go to the doctor for treatment, and hopefully, we are cured.

Stabilization. Sometimes we can't be cured. Many diseases are incurable but can be stabilized with proper medical treatment. Diabetes is a good example of this. There is no known cure for diabetes but a diabetic patient can monitor blood sugars and take insulin injections and function very well. Someone with chronic lung disease may be on continuous oxygen therapy and take several medications to help them breathe but still maintain a level of functioning that is acceptable to him.

Comfort Only. This is the palliative care or hospice approach to care. This is usually the goal of care when a patient or their designated health care decision maker decides that aggressive treatment no longer has any lasting benefit. The quality of life trumps quantity and the focus becomes comfort rather than cure. This is the beginning of preparing for a comfortable and dignified death.

Sometimes these goals of care can coexist. The life-limiting illness may be incurable but another illness can arise which can be easily treated. A person who is on hospice care for incurable cancer may still be treated to cure a urinary tract infection or pneumonia, for example.

What Does Quality of Life Mean to You?

The quality of life means something different for everyone. It is a very personal decision to make when treatments no longer contribute to the quality of life but actually take away from it. Some people are willing to sacrifice their comfort and enjoyment for the chance to live a few more months, even if that time is spent in the hospital. Others may decide to spend their final months at home with their loved ones, even if it means they may die a bit sooner. There is no "right answer" for everyone, only a "right" answer for you.

Plan Ahead -- But Be Flexible

Establishing a goal of care early on and making your choices known is important. You can use an Advance Directive and appoint a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care to make decisions for you if you become unable to. Equally important is reassessing that goal as things change. Early on in a serious illness, your goal may be to do everything possible to find a cure. As your illness progresses, that goal may change and you may want to modify any legal documents to reflect those changes.

Unfortunately, even with a clear goal in mind, decisions are rarely cut and dry. Difficult health care decisions are not made only with our logical minds. Our emotional and spiritual sides have a great impact on making difficult decisions as well, which can sometimes muddle an otherwise clear choice. Difficult decisions are so called because that is exactly what they are -- difficult.

This heavily depends on what you expect. A lot of people thinks about "comfort features", they expect when installing a software to get all extras, too. Others expect just the pure basics. I think, to those who expect just the basics - no comfort features etc., we can expect to read the included documentation, so I like (and prefer) Greg's solution. I know - sometimes it's hard, especially because pkgsrc has so many comfort that I incline to forget proving the documentation before installing a package. These moments help me to remember :) /Jens

Both the Times Union and Glens Falls Post-Star have parsed some of the political advertisements flooding television air waves as a result of competitive races for Congress.
Here are the ads, and some analysis:
"One of the Crowd," by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
Analysis: The ad is slightly misleading. It fails to provide context about Ryan's budget, simply quoting The Wall Street Journal that it would "end" Medicare. The $6,400 estimate is based on Congressional Budget Office data, but Republicans note that it compares Ryan's plan to a projection of the current plan that is unlikely to actually exist.
"Focus," by Crossroads GPS
Analysis: The ad is misleading. Future spending was constrained, but no funding was actually "cut" from Medicare. Further, while the new panel can recommend changes to reduce Medicare spending, it is prohibited by law from making coverage decisions that will lead to care denial and its recommendations can be rejected by Congress, according to a Kaiser Foundation analysis.
"Trust," by Rep. Chris Gibson
Analysis: The ad is not misleading. But it is an unspecific promise from a candidate.
"Real Seniors," by Julian Schreibman
Analysis: The ad is misleading because it implies that the Ryan budget would do harm to the "real seniors" it features, who are easily assumed to be Medicare patients.
"Adirondacks," by Rep. Bill Owens
The Owens campaign is responding to a Doheny campaign ad that links Owens with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. To say that argument dates back to prehistoric times is using poetic license, but it is an old argument which area Republican candidates have used in every local congressional race since 2006.
Owens has said he supports discussing changes to the health care reform act, rather than repealing it.
The Owens campaign said in a press release the commercial refers to Owens' support for repealing a 2.3 percent federal excise tax on medical device companies an repealing the requirement that businesses, no matter what size, file 1099 forms with the Internal Revenue Service for every purchase of goods and services more than $600.
Owens co-sponsored legislation to repeal the medical device tax in May. Doheny has criticized Owens for not co-sponsoring the legislation sooner.
Doheny, earlier this year, did say Rep. Paul Ryan's budget proposal did not go far enough, but he was referring to proposed spending cuts, not specifically to Medicare. Doheny does support offering Medicare recipients a choice of using private plans, with the federal government paying the premiums directly, a concept similar, but not identical, to what Ryan has proposed.
"Hurting Seniors," by Matt Doheny
Here's Maury Thompson's analysis.

David Fahey wins NOAA communication award
ESRL physicist wins Daniel L. Albritton communicators awardDecember 8, 2009
Dr. David Fahey
David Fahey (Chemical Sciences Division) was honored with the 2009 Daniel L. Albritton Outstanding Science Communication award on December 3, for his extraordinary work communicating scientific information about the ozone layer to decision makers, educators, and the global public.
In presenting the award, ESRL Director Alexander MacDonald said Fahey's efforts, particularly on the depletion of Earth's protective ozone layer, exemplify those of Albritton, who was Fahey's first NOAA supervisor 30 years ago.
"Dr. Fahey clearly lays out the science, from the big picture down to the details, in a way that reminds me of Dan's ability to convey importance," MacDonald said. "This award is so important, because communication is so important."
Fahey has worked on many scientific problems during his decades at NOAA, from ozone depletion to climate change, and has won many awards for his contributions. In 2007, he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with other authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change climate science assessment.
Fahey received the Daniel L. Albritton prize for his ongoing work to communicate the importance of ozone layer depletion. Nearly a decade ago, Albritton himself asked Fahey to help with the 2002 Ozone Assessment (a quadrennial state-of-the-science assessment in support of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer). Albritton asked Fahey to redesign and rewrite the "Questions and Answers" section, a feature of the assessments that was pioneered in 1994 and 1998 by ESRL's Susan Solomon (also Chemical Sciences) and the late French scientist Gérard Mégie. Fahey's effort resulted in the Twenty Questions and Answers about the Ozone Layer, an illustration-rich booklet published in 2002 (and updated in 2006) in many languages and distributed around the world. Fahey is working with Canadian scientist Michaela Hegglin on the Twenty Questions update for the 2010 assessment, currently in preparation.
The document's accessibility to those without scientific expertise, and its impeccable scientific accuracy propelled its global reach, said A.R. Ravishankara, director of the ESRL's Chemical Sciences Division.
Fahey said he was humbled to receive the award, having witnessed the communications acumen of Albritton himself. He said he also felt like his role was as a "transcriber, not the one source," given the contributions of many colleagues.
When accepting the award, Fahey said that in his research and communications work, he often reminds himself of a quote by Victor Hugo, conveyed to him by Albritton. "'Science has the first word on everything and the last word on nothing,'" Fahey said. "So let's make the first word as clear and complete and accessible as possible, so the people who make the decisions can make the most reasonable ones."

wow! i think i have finally awoken from my fog. the fog you are in when a new baby is brought into your life. yeah, THAT kind of fog. our sweet L is now closing in on seven months old. seven months! what just happened? i would have to say the first four months were just spent in shock and trying to figure out what to do, when to get sleep, when to get laundry done, yadda yadda. so yeah, not much blogging from me. not to mention our sweetie seemed to be a bit colicky, so half of each day was spent bouncing, rocking, swaying, and trying to figure out how to console her. just as suddenly, it seemed the crying and fussing pretty much stopped somewhere around four months. then we just had to figure out WHAT to do with our new baby, how to know what she needed, how to keep her entertained, etc.
we've been in ECFE classes, which are awesome! i quit my job, did i mention that? hehe. and then there has been the two of us spending as much time with L as possible and watching her grow. wow, does that go fast! she started as a cute little blob that quietly moved at a snail's pace, and is now a bouncing, squealing, babbling little girl. her feet are her best friends. she's rolling in both directions, and loves to stand most of all. (!!!) she just figured out jumping, both in her jumperoo and on my lap! she chats and babbles a ton, and talks to herself after she wakes up until we come in and get her. she's so.dang.cute. and we are so in love! we lovelovelove her so much! we truly feel so lucky. she is our little miracle baby.
and i just want to shout it out here: i am so happy with my life! i can honestly say i don't think it's ever been more awesome than it is right now. i am truly grateful for my bountiful, joyous life! i LOVE that i get to spend each day, all day, at home with my hubby and our sweet little baby (and our adorable little kitties too!) mike works at home and has a really flexible easy-going schedule, sometimes having work to do, and other times not, so we both get to spend a lot of time together with our little sweetie, or plan outings together or with friends, etc. i just feel so lucky, like all my dreams have converged into this point in time where they are all happening at once!
don't get me wrong, we still have other dreams we wish for some day. one long-term goal is to be able to travel to and live about three months each year in a different location (preferably over winter, although we'll have to see if that's possible with L's schoolwork). or even if we can just all travel together, there are many other places we would love to see, and love for L to see as well. egypt and morocco come to mind. or another trip to australia. or argentina. well, there really is a neverending list there, hm?
and then there's my career dream. yes, i know i left my long-time job and can honestly say i hope to never have a full-time desk job again for as long as i live. i realized the other day that i am at exactly the half-way point in my career (we have been planning and banking on retiring early.) so yeah, the entire first half of my career was spent in ONE place. w o w. so i hope i am done with that kind of thing, and want to move on to something new. especially when little miss L finally gets into school, i realize that i will need something more. so my big new goal is to be a professional photographer! i am so excited it makes me giddy. i went to college for photography, and have been doing it in some fashion since middle school. but i never really thought i could "make it" as a career, so went into design instead. now i realize i can totally make it as a photographer, so now is the time to go for it! i have been spending tons of time reading and brushing up, buying and playing with new equipment, experimenting and shooting, etc. our good friend ken (long-time photo pro) happily joined me as my mentor. things are moving and changing as fast as i can make them (which isn't saying much when i have a seven month old to care for all day.) but i'm loving it and that's all that matters!
so yay! i am so grateful for the way my life has unfolded. it's definitely had its bumps along the way. but i have learned and grown so much, and for that, and for everything I have, i am truly thankful.

An interesting article for the Manila Skyway project and its effects.
This just occurred to me, yeah they should build all these skyways around and within the city, this way whenever we get Ondoy type of situations, at least people can walk up the skyway and use it as a bridge or at least a place to take refuge from flooding! Cars can also try to go up the skyways to avoid getting damaged by the flood too!
Wait, kuya the topic title is incorrect, but anyways my post is OT anyway!

Hi John!
This is an interesting piece of information. May I know the source? That would be a nice reading for me, especially so that my family is from this place. BTW, the traffic in the old provincial road during summer is terrible to say the least! Looking forward to your post. Thank you.
Hello Job,
I got this from a website listing and this I believe comes originally from the government dept, which advises the public on new proposed road works.
Sorry cannot be more helpful, but bear in mind, this is not confirmed, and the route can be changed before and during construction. Date of completion will be decided by the politicians.
Thanks John. I just hope that in doing this project they (the politicians) would consider the common good of all stakeholders.

Tony: you are apparently angry that we dared to notice your offensive, and i would say abusive, behavior. This is common when people act like a total jackass without realizing/caring that what they are doing is ridiculously offensive. Allow me to break it down for you.Ā

First off let me reiterate that what you did was terribly offensive at best, and outright abusive and demeaning to the victim at worst. You literally used a textbook example of how not to respond to sexual assault victims. The first thing you did was trivialize her experience, by insinuating that in any context it would be a desired experience. This indicates that she should just shrug it off, because being sexually assaulted against your will is desirable in some other context. Regardless of your intent (which i assume was to make light of what is a horrible and demeaning experience that will probably leave the person with a lifetime of guilt, questions, trauma, and other assorted feelings that they will be unable to ever escape. This is not really a situation to make light of. It's like going up to a Bosnian victim in 1991 who lost their entire family in the Serbian Aggression and making a bunch of genocide jokes. It is not going to go over well, and you are an asshole if you do that.) this was a fucked up thing to do. And that is the important part: regardless of your intent. Because intent is not magical to get you out of the fucked up thing you said. Even tho you probably did not intend it to be offensive and abusive, it was and you now need to deal with that. The proper response at this point would be to accept that you said something dickish and apologize for it. Not a backhanded apology like "well i am sorry you are so offended then!" but a real apology that looks something like "i am sorry that my words hurt you." no qualifiers for your intent, no qualifiers for what you meant, no attempt to put the blame in the situation on us for "just misunderstanding what you are trying to do!" but instead taking full responsibility for saying hurtful things in a very serious environment.Ā

Next you attempted to place all of the blame on the people who noticed your shitty behavior, as if your shitty behavior is our fault, and if we didn't call you out on it you would have been in the right. This is not true. This is a free country where people are allowed to say what they want. You are allowed to talk like a total asshole if that is the kind of person you want to be. However other people are also entitled to call you out on your shitty behavior, and call you a shitbag if they believe that is how you are behaving. You will notice that everyone was relatively polite about it, not even calling you an out and out shitbag even though you were behaving as one. This is obvious proof that we are not reacting out of "anger" or a "lack of a sense of humor". There is nothing funny about telling a sexual assault victim that their sexual assault should be trivialized and they should just get a sense of humor about it. FYI you should probably tune your sense of humor so that it is actually funny and not stupid and pathetic. This might have more of a positive gain for you in the future.Ā

Other people on this list chose to immediately side with the aggressor in questioning the victim. This is also a really shitty thing to do. It implies that the victim is just a silly woman and doesn't really understand or recognize abuse. It implies that there is some other situation in which a stranger grabbing a woman's breast is somehow ok, or acceptable. FYI: doing this means you are a shitty person, full stop. Instead of immediately jumping to the aggressors defense (and remember, if it gets to the point of pressing charges, etc, we have this whole system of paid advocates which can also be provided for free to stand up for and defend the aggressors perspective against these charges. Unless you are a close personal friend of the aggressor, this is probably not the right time to jump wholeheartedly to their defense and ignore the victimization of the aggressee.)Ā

Since this list apparently needs a refresher on what to do in cases where someone is speaking up about their sexual assault, I will go ahead and drop a few links here.Ā

http://meloukhia.net/2010/06/what_to_do_when_someone_approaches_to_tell_you_about_sexual_assault_or_abuse.html

http://www.gradientlair.com/post/26371065297/silencing-tactics

http://persephonemagazine.com/2012/07/27/savannah-dietrich-and-silencing-survivors/

And as an aside: I am not sure how you Tony could mistake this situation as incredibly serious and hurtful for the victim. From her first post it was obvious that this incident was really damaging and hurtful to her. So I am not sure why you would think it was at all appropriate to bring on the jokes "before you knew the severity of this issue", but I eagerly await your explanation of how some sexual assault cases are totally the right time for happy fun jokey time, but others are not.Ā

The PS50C6900 suffers far less from crosstalk noise than any of Samsung's LCD/LED 3D sets.
The Golden Gate Bridge sequence on the Monsters Vs Aliens 3D Blu-ray seems tailor-made to highlight this problem but the usually distracting degree of double ghosting around problematic objects like the bridge support cables is hugely reduced.
So much so, in fact, that on the rare occasions where it's visible at all, it comes as quite a shock, despite the fact that even when it appears, it's generally on a much more subtle level than with the LCD TVs.
Three-dimensional pictures are so much more believable, engaging and crisp where there's precious little crosstalk to worry about and, despite one or two perhaps inevitable flaws, the PS50C6900's 3D pictures are the most watchable ones Samsung has yet achieved. Which is mildly ironic, given the brand's emphasis on its far more expensive LED 3D models.
The sharpness of 3D images is another pleasant surprise, despite levels of brightness and colour vividness reducing markedly more in 3D mode than you get with the ultra-bright LED 3D screens.
In fact, the PS50C6900's 3D pictures are slightly punchier than those of Panasonic's 3D plasmas, as well as retaining slightly more shadow detail during dark scenes.
Panasonic's 3D dark scenes are a little, well, darker, though and its screens still have the edge when it comes to crosstalk, suffering even less from it than the PS50C6900 (result, perhaps, of Panasonic's 3D-focussed 'fast decay' plasma cell technology).
While this extra immunity to crosstalk keeps Panasonic at the top of the 3D performance pile, however, it's worth stressing just how watchable the PS50C6900's 3D pictures are and the fact that the Samsung model is many hundreds of pounds cheaper than Panasonic's P50VT20 50in 3D plasma model.
What this all adds up to is that in many respects the PS50C6900 is already precisely that 3D bargain it always promised to be.
The PS50C6900 saves most of its compromises for 2D playback. For instance, it's immediately clear that the screen can't deliver blacks nearly as profound as Panasonic's VT20 models. It gets closer in this respect to the Japanese brand's new smaller and more affordable GT20 sets, but still doesn't quite match up.
There's a little less vibrancy and naturalism to the Samsung's portrayal of rich reds and deep greens than you get with Panasonic's latest NeoPDP TVs too and a slightly patchier, stripier appearance to colour blends.
There is a little more short-term image retention than is ideal, but this doesn't last long, is only seen for the most part over very dark shots and is considerably reduced if you're sensible with the Cell light level and brightness settings. Plus – in theory at least – it should disappear over time.
Finally in the negative column, the PS50C6900 can suffer from a little judder and softness when watching standard-def, 50Hz sources. The motion processing reduces the judder problem, of course, but can cause artefacts if set any higher than its lowest operating level.
As is often the case with plasma TVs, the PS50C6900 is much more at home with HD material. The picture suddenly kicks up a whole bunch of sharpness and clarity gears, and colours look both subtler and more natural. Motion looks better too, and even the set's contrast range looks slightly better.
One little area in which the PS50C6900 noticeably improves on Panasonic's plasmas (the cheaper ones, at least) is in the eradication of dotting noise over skin tones during horizontal camera pans.
Black levels still look a little less profound with HD than you might prefer, which is something the extra Real Black Filter on the C7000 plasma models might fix. But black levels are pretty respectable overall, especially in the context of a 3D-capable 50in TV costing less than £1,300.
One final point is that, as with all plasma TVs, the PS50C6900 can be watched from a much wider angle than any LCD screen without losing contrast or colour.

Claudio Ranieri insists Sunday's Derby d'Italia is "more important for Juventus than Inter, so they have more to lose."
Going into the weekend there are 15 points separating them in the Serie A standings, as the Nerazzurri are increasingly unlikely to qualify for Europe.
"In this situation, the game is more important for Juventus than Inter, so they have more to lose," said the Coach.
"With a defeat, Juve would see Milan break even further away at the top of the table. They are also afraid that Inter can be the first team to beat them this season. It's a derby, I know, having been on the other side and realising full well what this game means."
Ranieri finished in second place at Juve, then was fired two weeks before the end of the next campaign.
"I took over a side that was coming up from Serie B and lacked many champions. In the last four or five years everything has changed, as they are building a new project, the philosophy and above all the budget have been totally transformed.
"Am I disappointed at not continuing in Turin? We all have our karma, our story, and I always reconstructed wherever I went, but never bowed to compromises.
"The reason I left was there were three of us choosing players. At the moment I was excluded from decisions, then I walked away."
Ranieri took over from Gian Piero Gasperini just a few weeks into the campaign. The run of two points from nine official games has been ended and he sees improvements.
"In recent outings we've seemed less weighed down, managing to win or draw. Now we are ready to face this Juventus, a side that are doing very well.
"It's not true that we have nothing to lose, though. You always want to win a big game and, although Juve run the biggest risks, I would've preferred to be in their shoes. As President Massimo Moratti said, we hope tomorrow's game can be the spark for us to do well for the rest of the season."

This workaround has only just been enabled on my board since I updated my BIOS from the 1.6 to 1.7 revision. Clearly the workaround's "detection" isn't sufficiently vigorous.

Giggly little Soren
Shay's first word
Shay is getting more interested in talking. This video was taken a couple of days ago and he has also said "water" and "diaper." He seems more interested in signing and we have developed a sign for "eat" because he couldn't do the "milk" sign, for whatever reason (he would pat my hand when he wanted it, but never produce the sign himself, now he pats his mouth and makes a noise and loves that we understand that).
The cuteness is on overload around here these days.

Soren and Shay felt crummy and angry. After trying everything short of taking them outside, I took this picture. Outside was the winner. They were asleep within 5 minutes of starting the car.

Osha demonstrating his mad skills.
We opened a coconut to make a bra for Ari's costume and the meat came out whole. It turned out to be fermented so Osha was terribly disappointed when he bit into it.
Ari hunted up this log to be her walking stick.
Holy bad sizing, Batman! The tie dye outfit on Shay is size 12 months. And it is supposed to be long pants. He wasn't feeling very well and got very mad when I snapped his clothes.

I'm not a robot, says Serena Williams on Australian Open loss
World No 1 plays down Australian Open defeat to Kerber, says it's not possible to win every single match
Melbourne: Serena Williams on Saturday said she wasn't a "robot" and couldn't win every match she played after slumping to a shock defeat in the Australian Open final against Germany's Angelique Kerber.
Also read: Angelique Kerber dethrones Serena to lift maiden Australian Open title

The World No 1 and top seed was overwhelming favourite to win her 22nd Grand Slam title at Melbourne Park, but an error-strewn performance handed the German a stunning 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory.
It stopped Williams matching Steffi Graf's Open-era record of 22 Grand Slam titles, which will now have to wait at least until the French Open in June.
Germany's Angelique Kerber is over the moon after beating Serena Williams to win her maiden Australian Open title
The 34-year-old, who had won all six of her previous Melbourne Park finals, was the defending champion and won three Grand Slam titles last year. But she said she was not infallible. "It's interesting. I mean, every time I walk in this room, everyone expects me to win every single match, every single day of my life," she said at her post-match press conference.
"As much as I would like to be a robot, I'm not. I try to. But, you know, I do the best that I can.
"I try to win every single time I step out there, every single point, but realistically I can't do it. Maybe someone else can, but I wasn't able to do it."
Williams' tilt at another title was ultimately undone by 46 unforced errors to Kerber's 13. Twenty-three of them came in the opening set as she uncharacteristically sprayed balls wide and long, while missing almost half of her shots from the net.
Wrong shots
"I was missing a lot off the ground, coming to the net. She kept hitting some great shots actually every time I came in," Williams said.
"I think I kept picking the wrong shots coming into it. But, honestly, it's something to learn from, just to try to get better."
hile her mistakes helped Kerber, the German also played some scintillating tennis off the baseline and Williams paid tribute to her never-say-die attitude in pressing so hard for her first ever Grand Slam title at the age of 28.
"I was actually really happy for her. She's been around a really long time. We've had a number of matches. I've beaten her a lot," said Williams, who had a 5-1 record against Kerber before the Melbourne final.

Any news if Bradley is alright (has any concussions) ?
Any news if Bradley is alright (has any concussions) ?
I watched a replay of the fight on HBO Sunday. It was pretty much the first thing I did in the morning after watching UFC 158. Even though the GSP/Diaz fight was boring it still left me with the same reaction I always have now when I compare a boxing match to MMA.....Meh.
It was okay. One guy with a hard as **** head who hits pretty hard. And another guy who punches like a very fast girl and manages not to collapse for twelve rounds. It was okay. My reaction to the decision was a resounding, "Who gives a ****? It's just boxing."
And if this fight with it's sea of empty seats is the future of boxing, then boxing is fucked.
Translation = It was excellent.Quote:

If you search in kat.ph for "timothy bradley ruslan provodnikov", you may or may not get something of high quality.
pm me if you need to set it up.
I was prepared for another snoozer, but this fight was badass! And I had never even heard of Provodnikox. If Bradley was trying to cherry-pick a sure thing, his agent done fucked up.
It's great to see a fight where both the winner and the loser enhance their cred.
Dude, because I watch literally dozens of fights each weekend, I can tell you full well what the best fights are. I'm tempted to create a big megathread just devoted to good boxing fights, but I think it will conflict with Bullshido's videos section.
A megathread might be useful, though, since it will at least give people context on what's happened before and after a fight.
When boxing is boring, it could put you to sleep. But when it's great, it's explosive!

User Home Pages: The Rhodes Family Page
The Rhodes Family PageUpdated September 6, 2000
| Rhodes family of Henderson County, NC.
We have traced our family back to Eli Rhodes and Katherine Roberts.We know that the Roberts family was concentrated in the Edneyville area when it connected with Eli Rhodes.We also know that Louisa Roberts was Katherine's sister and she married into the Wilson family which moved to Indiana around 1869.
One of the mysteries we are trying to solve is who is the father of Thomas Clingman Rhodes,who was the illegitimate child of Mary Rhodes,Eli and Katherine's daughter.Thomas was born in 1869,about the time the Wilson family left the area.
Rhodes family stories mention the name Sinclair as possibly being the father.
Wilson family stories tell of a murder around this time which caused them to flee to Indiana.
We would be very happy to exchange information with others interested in this branch of the Rhodes or Roberts families.

text: I am evaluating a lot of RTOS options for a 200 Mhz StrongARM embedded single board custom system. I'd like to use BSD, as it's elegant, and I could build a multi-threaded multi-process system with full MMU Support (memory protection). I have evaluated eCOS but it comes without MMU support, and they're still working on porting the beautiful BSD TCP/IP code to eCOS. The hitch is my real-time requirement. Not all threads, or even most threads, have realtime consequences, but I have one tricky feature. I need a kernel-space interrupt service routine, and the ability to have the ISR activate a thread/process that is non-interruptable until it completes its work. Also, the high-priority thread/process must be activated less than 8 uSec from when the IRQ comes in. I would like to have both user-space and kernel threads as well as be able to run a few "non-realtime" processes as separate Executables, and the Real Time component would be kernel-space (an interrupte service routine, and a kernel-space thread). So far, I haven't found anything to indicate that people have done anything like this before on NetBSD on StrongARM. Can anyone tell me if they've managed to build a realtime system in embedded NetBSD on a fast StrongARM core? Warren Postma

Ballooning over Busanga Plains
Ballooning over Busanga Plains
By 27 September 2013
Article Categories
Kafue News
A delicate early morning mist hung gently above the plains as we approached the launch site where Eric was already in the basket and firing up the gas burners to fill the huge multi-coloured balloon. Eric and his wife Nancy run the balloon experience in the Busanga Plains, Kafue, for Wilderness Safaris.
After a safety briefing that basically covers the two possible options for landing (one is a landing and the other is a 'sports' landing!) we lifted gently off the ground. It is such a gentle feeling that you do not realise that you are actually up in the air. The stillness is only interrupted with the blasts of the gas burner that Eric opened from time to time to manage the hot air which drives the balloon.
Ballooning is not an exact science, owing to the fact that you are dependent on the strength and direction of the winds. At one stage we were high and the wind speed was 50km per hour, so Eric brought the balloon down lower and our speed dropped. He can bring the basket down so low that you can actually feel the grass tickle the wicker. There are some flights where they just skim above hippo in the water and are also able to follow buffalo, lechwe and even lion closely and quietly.
We were treated to wonderful sights: we flew with birds, we floated over water, we watched two huge herds of elephant cross the plains to get to the woodland, and we spied an impressive herd of buffalo in the distance. The tree line approached much quicker than we realised and very soon we were preparing for our landing.
We had a 'semi-sports' landing. That is to say that the basket did not fall over completely and drag along the ground. We just floated gently down and then there was one bump and we lifted up again and then another bump and a tilt over slightly and then we regained our upright position safely touched down. All very gentle, but so spectacular.
If you are planning to be in Busanga Plains, and you get all the way there, make sure you have at least one balloon ride. Take your binoculars, camera and video because you are going to need them all. Just make sure too though that you also take a moment to take it all in – and not just from behind a lens.

LA Galaxy are keen to sign Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne.
The Irish Independent says Dunne is yet to play a game this season after a number of setbacks in his recovery from a groin problem, and his club future is up in the air with his contract at the Birmingham club due to expire this summer.
New York Red Bulls want to bring the Dubliner Stateside and it's understood that MLS Cup champions Galaxy are now also monitoring his progress.
Dunne's fellow Ireland international and pal Robbie Keane signed a new two-year deal with the LA club last week, and the central defender has admitted in the past that a US move would appeal.

|Reviews for Most Perfect Servant
| D.H. L'Orange chapter 23 . 10/13/2010
this was great and you really need to do the sequel
| Ekanos chapter 22 . 6/24/2010
this story was amazing I must say!
For a long while i didn't like Mal but you got me hooked on the whole Jay and Mal pairing!
I know that your trying to publish books and I wish you the best of luck! If any of your stories/novels came out over here I'd buy them for sure!
| Starlette420 chapter 23 . 4/18/2010
I loved this story SO much
you are amazing
and im very much looking forward to reading the happiest slave
| What Should Never Hurt You chapter 23 . 3/28/2010
It's over!T_T
How bittersweet.
I'm so happy to see Adam and Jay together! (*is hoping for that smutty scene* XD)
Whoa, Jezebel came out of nowhere! But she's certainly interesting. When she first appeared, I really had thought that Japheth turned into a girl, for the oddest reason. I had the same reaction as Adam, lol! Then I realized that there was no way Jay could've grown out his hair in that time span (Sad that that's the only reason why I figured it couldn't be Japheth, lol). Adam dressing nice is a huge shock, too bad it didn't last long. XD I don't think Jezebel is getting too ahead of herself with the wedding portraits;D That would be fun!XD It was so cute when Jezebel said that Japheth was so eager to see Adam, shouting "master?" I can totally see that, little Japheth in bed and bolting up to see Adam:) Oh, Mal, I'm so glad to see he's okay, and that Drake stabbing him didn't cause him too much damage Kind of sucks for Ethan, but at least he and Adam realized how they REALLY feel about each other!
Most Perfect Servant was absolutely amazing. Incredible job, and really the best thing I've read in a long, long time.
I CAN'T WAIT for the sequel, if you decide to write it. Already it sounds very intriguing, and I'll keep checking for any news about the sequel, or any other works you're doing!:D
Thanks so much for writing and continuing to write such great fics!
| kawaii-kitsune-thief chapter 23 . 3/24/2010
Okay. Took me two days to read this. I have to say, I was pleased. Clearly you put a lot of thought and planning into this. I hope you continue to write. I'll probably check out your other stuff next.
| cocorolla chapter 22 . 3/23/2010
WO! That was an awesometacular story. :D It's so sad that it's ending now, but it's lovely all is well with everyone.
...well. Ahem. Actually, you wouldn't happen to be doing any...
...MalxEthan Malthan...Would you? *wink wink nudge nudge* ;D Yeuuh?
ANYWAYS! I'm going to sincerely miss this story, can't' wait for your future writings. :)
| piriperi chapter 22 . 3/22/2010
A great ending to an amazing story! I'd love to see the sequel, but I'd also love to see any upcoming stories from you. You have great skill and I bet your future works will just keep getting better.
| Catherine Julia Jefferson chapter 22 . 3/22/2010
ACK IT'S OVER. Which makes me indescribably sad.
However, that's just me moping.
If I haven't mentioned this frequently enough, I have really enjoyed this story. Your characters always felt so *real*. I'm glad that Adam finally made sense of everything, and the last scene was so dramatically adorable. Yay for Adam and Jay! (And unintentional rhymes!)
However, as much as I liked this chapter, you should still write and post the smut scene.
So. To conclude, fantastic job. Keep it up.
(I vote pro sequel, btw.)
| What Should Never Hurt You chapter 21 . 3/21/2010
Oh my god. Urgh. WOw. That whole last half of the chapter while they were fighting was INTENSE. You're wrote it so perfectly, and just... wow. I was sitting on edge the entire time, biting my lip and just unable to look away. XD Oh wow. Zacharias Drake is dead. And Adam Lanning is alive.
Somehow, I knew they weren't going to go to court. XD It would only make sense that they would fight, but I certainly didn't expect that everyone was going to be there watching him. At one point I was so terrified; I thought Japheth was gonna die, but gosh I'm so glad he didn't! I only hope Mal is okay:S It seems like everyone hates Mr. Drake, except for his fiancee. Lol.
urgh, I still can't get over how wonderful that whole chapter was. Really really incredible. All the emotions and tension in the last scene especially was so strong.
I loved the line when Adam starts thinking of Ethan and then was like wtf am I thinking of my love life for now? Lmao! And also when Adam tells Japheth to use his name. I was like, "aw:)"
bump for next chapter. Lol. I can't wait to see what happens next:)
| piriperi chapter 21 . 3/20/2010
Now that was an amazing chapter! The way you write is great, it paints a vivid picture in my head of what's going on that some stories fail to do. Can't wait to see how this ends :)
| Catherine Julia Jefferson chapter 21 . 3/20/2010
I... am... nearly... speechless. This chapter was so great, from the beginning to the end. I really can't wait for the next one. Though, I am sad that this story is coming to a close.
| What Should Never Hurt You chapter 20 . 3/20/2010
I didn't expect that Drake and Adam's parents would have been friends. But, I really didn't have any sort of clue as to how they betrayed him anyways. XD That last chapter made me feel a teensy bit bad for Zacharias, but only a TEENSY BIT. He's still a douchebag. XD
I KNEW IT. I KNEW Wisteria created that plant, but of course I didn't know why. I thought Wisteria made it, but one of her sisters like altered it, and then it resulted in raepin Jay: It's always the quiet ones_ XD
I didn't think Wisteria would be able to bring him back, but I'm glad she did. Adam, you finally have a good idea for once. XD KILL MR DRAKE. DO IT.
NEED MOAR:) And I won't be late this time. Lol:D
| Catherine Julia Jefferson chapter 20 . 3/19/2010
EEK. Cliffhanger. More soon, please?
| Verseprose chapter 19 . 3/18/2010
This story is so good, it's always getting better and better. I found Japheth's letter was incredible and as much as I'm happy to learn that we'll know the end of the story soon, it's still sad to know it's ending.
| Verseprose chapter 18 . 3/14/2010
The last flashback might not seem right to you but, as to me, I did like it. Can't wait to see Adam's reaction. :)

ISIS has its eyes set on Canada
- Persecuted
- Published Date
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government may be less concerned about the threat posed to Canada by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria than the previous Conservative government, but it's clear the terrorists haven't forgotten about us.
Indeed, as Stewart Bell of the National Post reported Monday, Canadian authorities believe ISIS has formed a terrorist cell in Syria devoted to reaching out to potential English-speaking terrorists through social media, with a specific desk officer assigned to Canada.
The advantage to ISIS of recruiting allies among natural born Canadians is obvious.

I soon discovered that three items had been stolen (or "missing"), including a new vacuum cleaner and a new ladder. I then went through the lengthy process of filing a claim with all of the documentation, but of course Relo had me over a barrel because I signed the forms that MBM had delivered my items. Eventually, I received a form letter informing me that I relinquished any claims once I had signed the forms on the day of delivery. In retrospect, I would gladly have paid the $1,300 and worked with a company that does not sell off its contracts to unknown movers.

When you have a child with special needs, in our case it is Sensory Processing Disorder or SPD, and dyspraxia… there is always the hope that you will find the support you need in the form of family, friends, therapists and even support groups filled with those on similar journeys.
What is hard is when you have a child who has disorders that, although you are told are prevalent in the population, appear to be evident in your child only. No matter how hard you look or scan crowds of children, no matter how many towns you go into, no one quite shows the signs of the disorders quite the way your child does.
No one but you it seems is coercing your screaming child into a shopping cart, into shoes, into a high chair. Continue reading

Saracens are within touching distance of the Heineken Cup quarter-finals after Owen Farrell kicked them to a superb 37-28 comeback victory over Racing Metro in Nantes.
The England fly-half finished with 32 points as he landed 11 successful kicks from 11 attempts, including ten penalties, in a win full of character and commitment.
The Londoners trailed 19-6 after Racing flew out of the traps with winger Juan Imhoff scoring two fine tries and prop Luc Ducalcon also toucing down inside the first quarter which also saw David Strettle carried from the pitch on a stretcher after being flattened by what appeared a swinging arm from Fabrice Estebanez.
But Saracens held their nerve with Farrell's accuracy from the kicking tee keeping them in touch as the hosts infringed time and again and, allied to a second-half try from full-back Chris Wyles, eventually ground down their opponents to emerge triumphant.
Victory at home over Pool 1 whipping boys Edinburgh next weekend will confirm Saracens' progress to the last eight as group winners.
Yet a Saracens victory looked a distant prospect after they shipped three early tries, Ducalcon got the ball rolling as he rumbled over in the left corner in the seventh minute and, after Farrell had slotted his first penalty, Imhoff extended the lead after he burst on to the ball on halfway and surged away following a fumble from Chris Ashton.
Double for Imhoff
Farrell kept the visitors ticking over, but Imhoff added his second after being sent clear by a well-timed pass from Juan Martin Hernandez - Sebastien converting as he had done for Ducalcon's opener.
Farrell kicked a third penalty but Saracens looked in trouble when Will Fraser was ordered to the sin bin for striking Hernandez in the face with his elbow in a late challenge - Descons kicked the penalty to open a 22-9 lead.
Farrell and Descons traded further penalties before Farrell kicked two more before the break, the second after suffering a shoulder barge that saw second-row Jone Quvo Nailiko binned.
That fuelled Saracens' belief and when Fraser supplied possession from a lineout, Farrell and Tomkins combined to send Wyles flying over before the conversion tied the scores at 25-25 after 48 minutes.
Farrell's seventh penalty handed Saracens the lead for the first time after 53 minutes, although Ashton then put his side under pressure as he was shown a yellow card for striking the Racing centre Estebanez off the ball - Descons kicking the subsequent penalty to level matters again.
Yet Saracens dug in and survived the 10 minute spell with a penalty apiece before their impressive defence pinned back their hosts time and again.
Farrell then added two more penalties including a last-minute strike from distance that crucially denied Racing even the consolation of a losing bonus-point and effectively knocked the French giants out of the cup.
Who will win this season's RBS 6 Nations Championship?

Jennifer, if I don't have the miso, what can I put in instead besides salt? I'm trying this out for a non-raw foodie.
Hi Shifra,
To give a salty flavor, either miso or salt are going to taste best. But if you are avoiding both of those, just leave it out. You may want to add a little more lemon and herbs.
Made this for lunch today. It is soooo good. I didn't have any dill so I used cilantro instead and it was delicious!!!!
Thank you
So glad you liked it Laura! Yes, you can play with the fresh herbs and create lots of different variations!
I was wondering if I can use frozen zucchini bought from Farmer's Market.
I'm going to try the Zucchini Soup chilled! I love chilled soups and this sounds great! Thanks!
Can I make this in a food processor?
yes you can! It'll just be a bit chunkier, instead of smooth.
I'm a big calorie counter and you indicated that this was only 140 calories . That is incorrect, the real true calories is 284.

ANOTHER week, another Scottish departure from the stock market. On Friday, Angel Biotechnology fell into the hands of administrators, triggering the suspension of its shares, while yesterday the directors at I-Design backed an £8.5 million cash offer from American customer Cardtronics.
The circumstances may be very different, but the two expected de-listings leave Scotland with a dwindling number of companies on the public markets. So should we be worried that we keep losing our Scottish stocks?
Digital Globe Services (DGS), an American online advertising firm run by Scots-born finance director Bruce Casely, summed up the case for becoming a listed company, ahead of its shares starting to trade today.
As well as raising £13 million to fund its expansion, DGS is joining the Alternative Investment Market to take advantage of the number of technology investors in London and raise its profile as it tries to break into Europe.
Raising cash – especially when interest rates on bank loans are so high – will always be the primary reason for a flotation, whether it's to fund expansion or to trigger a change in ownership, letting a founder or private equity investors achieve their "exit".
Yet raising your company's profile shouldn't be overlooked – after all, few customers will want to do business with an unknown supplier.
Then how can more companies be encouraged to use the stock market to promote themselves and grow? One of the answers could be the launch yesterday of the London Stock Exchange's (LSE's) "high-growth segment", which aims to make it easier for fast-growing firms to float.
The CBI believes the initiative will be a big boost for medium-sized businesses, while roadshows such as those run around the country by the LSE can also shine light on what otherwise can be a mystifying process.
Trade bodies are getting in on the act too, with the Scottish Lifesciences Association and others running events on the pros and cons of flotations.
Yet possibly the best advert for the stock market is success stories like I-Design. The rewards that founder Ana Stewart and her husband, Ralph Hasselgren, will enjoy for selling their cash machine advertising firm may well inspire the next wave of Scottish entrepreneurs.
The company is the latest in a string of Scottish stocks to be swallowed up by overseas suitors. Fellow Dundee-based company Axis-Shield's medical testing kits caught the eye of New York-listed Alere, while drugs being developed at Galashiels' ProStrakan triggered a takeover by Japan's KHK.
News yesterday of donations from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, which uses cash from Wellcome's sale to Glaxo, to Dundee University's £6.5m drug discovery unit remind us of the good that can come from floats and sales.
Changing of the guard at the Bank of England
OUTGOING Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King yesterday appeared to tip his hat in support of his replacement, Mark Carney.
King admitted the Bank would not try to bring inflation down to its 2 per cent target for fear of derailing Britain's economy recovery, in effect lending support to Carney, who wants to see the target scrapped. With even the Bank ignoring the target, Carney's argument is gathering weight.
