Regal Entertainment Group today announced that actor Liam Hemsworth and director Francis Lawrence are scheduled to attend an exclusive benefit screening for the new Lionsgate film, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." Regal Cinemas Pinnacle Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX in Knoxville, will host the event on Tuesday, Nov. 19, to raise money for Variety — The Children's Charity of Eastern Tennessee.
A limited number of tickets will be available for sale to the public for this charity event. Members of Regal Crown Club in Knoxville will receive full details by email. Anyone using their Regal Crown Club card at a Knoxville theatre from Oct. 22 through Nov. 1 will be eligible to win one of two opportunities to attend:
• GRAND PRIZE VIP EXPERIENCE — One winner will be awarded four FREE tickets to the event with limo transportation, access to the VIP tent and the red carpet arrival of Liam Hemsworth.
• Fifty first-place winners will be given the opportunity to purchase two tickets to the screening for $50 each to benefit Variety — The Children's Charity.
"Regal is rolling out the red carpet in Knoxville to honor Liam Hemsworth and Francis Lawrence who are scheduled to attend this fundraiser for special needs children in the region. I'm certain that East Tennesseans will turn out in force to support this special screening before the film debuts in theatres," Greg Dunn president and chief operating officer of Regal Entertainment Group, stated in a press release. "We extend our sincerest gratitude to our friends at Lionsgate Entertainment for making this possible. The fact that this screening is benefiting Variety — The Children's Charity shows the level of cooperation between our two companies."
Variety — The Children's Charity is a multi-million dollar philanthropic organization that spans the globe with 43 chapters in 13 countries, improving the lives of children through creative fundraising efforts, well-placed donations with exceptional children's charities, and through its own charitable programs. With the help of volunteers and sponsors, Variety — The Children's Charity continues its mission to provide lifesaving and life-enriching assistance to children in need on the local and international level. The local chapter of Variety was founded in Knoxville by Regal Cinemas in 2001 and since then has generated more than $5 million to assist children in East Tennessee.
"To me, this film franchise is a celebration of individuals who are able to overcome great odds without sacrificing their humanity. Holding a benefit screening to help children is a great way for this movie and these stars to assist others," said Ted Cooper, senior vice president of film at Regal Entertainment Group and president of the East Tennessee Variety chapter. "After the success of the first movie and the books, we know there is an enormous fan base that is more than eager to see the new film premiere."
Guests of the event will enjoy a catered reception in the Pinnacle lobby before the stars walk the red carpet to greet the crowd. After the red carpet reception, attendees will have the honor of being some of the first moviegoers to view the new film.
In "Catching Fire," Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence,("Silver Linings Playbook," "The Hunger Games," and"Winter's Bone") has returned home safe after winning the 74th annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark, played by Josh Hutcherson ("The Hunger Games," "The Kids Are All Right," and "Bridge to Terabithia"). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) — a competition that could change Panem forever.

Yes I think this a philosophical disagreement that will be hard to resolve. I don't believe that there are objective rights; you believe there are. I cannot think of an argument to counter your belief other than that which I raised above, i.e. that rights are non-existent until they are recognised, and when their recognition disappears so does the right. I expect we will continue to disagree on this point.ioel wrote: I disagree with your understanding of rights. I think it is far more objective than you think. For example, the reason why you don't have a right to a million dollars is because wealth must be earned--this is a fact of reality; someone must pay the cost to produce that wealth. So it can't coherently be considered a right (to have it provided to you).
As far as the right to bear arms is concerned, I would insist that there is no such natural right, although it may be culturally recognised. With culturally recognised I mean a majority vote in favour of the right.
The point is then that to insist on a right to bear arms must be dependent on majority vote. It would follow that an insistence on a right to bear arms cannot be maintained where 51% of people deny it.
As an aside, I don't think your position that wealth must be earned before one has an entitlement to it is correct however. Lotteries and legacies for example seem to oppose it. I do agree that when one exerts effort he ought to receive the benefit of his effort, and as such should have a right to the wealth it creates. Nevertheless, I do not see this as an inherent right but as a right that may (I think should) or may not be culturally recognised.
Okay, so we are talking about freedom within one's rights, and have agreed that one's rights are limited by those of another. This we shall call 'liberty'.You are mixing terms here. No one has a right to do absolutely whatever they want. When I speak of "freedom" as a positive good, I tend to mean "freedom to do as you will within your rights." To use one's abilities outside of one's rights is a wrong.
The point is that rights are the legitimate (and only) criterion by which to limit someone's actions. Yes, such limits are a restriction of freedom in an absolute sense, but not a restriction of freedom as a good. Maybe we can use the term "liberty" to refer to the latter meaning, as opposed to the former.
Inspiring cries and fights for freedom are not about gaining the freedom to commit theft with impunity. That's not what those people mean by freedom. Rather they mean what I have suggested we call "liberty."
In this respect it is interesting that you refer to theft. Clearly, to unlawfully take property from another person infringes another person's right to property. So too does any form of assault, whether by gun, knife or car, interfere with another person's right to his physical integrity. [I expect you will agree that one has the right to physical integrity, taking into the account the exclusions provided by law (e.g. police powers).]
We must not confuse the right to bear arms, however, with the right to assault at another person. Although bearing arms may not directly infringe upon another's rights, shooting at another person does – his right to physical integrity.
Referring to one of your posts before I entered the discussion, I think this questions any argument based on the correlation between self-defence (a form of assault) and the right to bear arms. My right to self-defence is, at law, a limited defence (e.g. proportionality between the threat and the response) and certainly not a licence-to-kill anyone who I feel infringes my rights. My liberty (as we have agreed to use the term) to use force is restricted by another's right to physical integrity. To say that I have the right to bear arms because I have the right to defend myself is therefore a non-sequitur. They are separate rights that are not dependent on each other.
As such, I would argue that 1) the right to bear arms at all is wholly dependent on majority support of such right, as expressed by legislation; and 2) the right to self-defence is irrelevant to the right to bear arms.
I don't mean to say however that there should be no right to bear arms. It may be necessary and simply too late in the day to deny the right in the US. I do object however to any assertion that the right to bear arms is some sort of natural or inherent human right.
Yes. Well… liberty, prosperity, security, etc.Interesting. I suspect you may be using the negative sense of "freedom" here. Because as far as I can see, order is useful only insofar as it promotes liberty.
Sorry, what is the relevant principle here?I don't know; it is possible to do a lot of damage with a car. But still, I don't see this as a matter of degrees. It is the principle of the thing.

Watch Episodes
Again comic book characters out of costume guess thats going to be a think Constantine the only one really in his, ok atom for a second or so. Still the best out the bunch right now.
He started off as such a good guy. I hate watching what turned him into the pos lawyer he became but I can't pull myself away.
I love the Ray character.
Just because you greatly respect someone doesn't mean you can't hate some of their attributes at the same time.
@nah its a good show. My opinion is less based on the source material and more about the actual content / story / atmosphere etc. Following the source material too literally is not a good thing especially when it has been so long and this is no longer a toon. I think this is a great transition to a live action story so far. As for starfire we haven't even really seen "acting" yet, so I'm not even sure how you are already making a judgement. Me personally I liked teen titans and the characters but it was a toon show, and a kids show at that. The characters ARE going to be different in a live action show because they have to be. To me you seem to have an extremely black and white; not to mention it being completely arrogant, view of people to make that statement about Robin. Also it's completely debatable to whether the source material is purely Teen Titans. The characters seem to be pulled from that show, but as a whole it's pulled from multiple iterations of Titans.

3 points: (1) I'm treating Titans as another alternate earth with a new continuity (and see point 3);(2) Wiki history of (Teen) Titans is incomplete--I counted >20 titles for the team(s), across >8 continuities (counting 'toons). Not all of it is worth respecting; the earliest years are embarassingly camp. The versions with Jericho and later Connor (who is coming back soon in yet another continuity) and recent super-sons are high points, but each rewrote the characters. (And with each change, fans debated hotly.) (3) Warner does care very much about DC Universe, since next year's post-Detective 1000/Doomsday Clock comics RE-RE-RE...BOOT will (probably) incorporate it and the Arrowverse. Merchandising and movies/tv shows bring in big profits; comics barely break even. And when many movie/tv fans look to continue that experience in a comic, they've been confused or turned off, as Marvel learned the hard way (think Hemsworth vs. a WTF female Thor...)
Anyway not even the owner of dc comics give a shit about tv show or movie respecting the way that the character act or look.. If they actually cared about this kind things they wouln't let tv shows or movie use their character XD
You said it in way less words than i could @Darkface indeed agreed
Film and TV are judged by a different criterion, so all your crying about canonical accuracies means jack shit. They are doing creative things with the manifestation of Raven's powers that alludes the horror genre, which is dope.
Oh lol that punch
I agree with you Steven and Matoyoshi Grayson didn't always respect batman : http://www.reddit.com/r/TitansTV/comments/9140ne/to_anyone_having_a_bitch_fit_over_robin_saying/
@Matohoyoshi you really arent reading what people say are you. dude i dont give two shits how the characters act i dont. i never even gonna watch this shitshow im just saying your WRONG about there not being anything just called titans again someone else said it a few comments back you clearly cant accept retcons or characters changes the creators of these things can do what they want. literally your first instinct everytime someone proves you wrong is to insult them for no reason if i might add i wasnt being rude to you or anything well smart guy whats the defintion of amazing it is causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing someone can watch something complete shit and it still causes great surprise and wonder bro if you dont like the fucking characters go back to your 50 year old comic books things change not to mention dc tv shows dont even matter in the run of comic canon anything might as well complain abou the flash oh why is he friends with killer frost oh lord she is a villain oh this show is shit becuase they did not adapt the character properly dude reread all these comment on this and understand you are wrong period and now im done because i know you wrong and everyone else reading these knows your wrong lol you lose bye
@stevenlhargrove You are full of shit. That is all there is to say. The fact that you think he knows the source material better than someone that has been reading the source material and other comics for over 30 years is just laughable. Fact, Dick Grayson would never say what he said about Batman in the premiere episode. That is not even debatable. Dick Grayson and Batman have had arguments in the past but he has ALWAYS respected Batman. Fact, Starfire is not now, nor has she EVER been a cold blooded killer like we were shown in the premiere episode. Fact, Raven is not some scared little girl, nor has she ever been in any source material. Fact, the show is based off the Teen Titans and he claimed it wasn't. Fact, if they wanted a Robin that acts the way that Dick Grayson acts in the two episodes I have seen so far, they could have gone with Damian Wayne and used that iteration of the Teen Titans, but they didn't and are ruining Dick Grayson's character. You can like the show if you want, but outright lying to justify it is just ridiculous and I won't entertain it anymore. Say whatever you want, this will be my last reply. But, maybe you should actually read the comics before replying on it.
I kind of dropped out of this thinking it would die surprised its still happening will just say @Kruciphix is right @Matoyoshi there were three iterations of the teen titans just called Titans one in 1999-2002 (main team was Nightwing, Troia, Arsenal, Tempest, Flash, Starfire, Cyborg, Changeling) vol 2 in 2008 (main team was Nightwing, Starfire, Donna Troy, Beast Boy and Raven) this is the one the show is most likely based around FYI and another in 2016 (team featuring Damian Wayne as Robin, Wally West II as Kid Flash, Jackson Hyde as Aqualad, Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven) so when it comes to knowing the source material @Kruciphix has you there
There are dc comics books only called Titans.. You just said '' You ruined any chance of me taking anything you say seriously.... You have only proven yourself to have no intelligence with every comment'' YOU CAN'T be taking seriously yourself you contradict yourself in every comment you make you aren't even smart enough to see that..... Learn how to not contradict yourself first and comeback later bye and hace a nice day lol
@Kruciphix You ruined any chance of me taking anything you say seriously when you tried to claim that Teen Titans is not the source material. You can't say something like that and then call someone else stupid. You have only proven yourself to have no intelligence with every comment. You can believe whatever you want, but you are factually incorrect. You can have whatever opinion you want but facts do not care about opinion. Just get over it.
<script>alert("Session expired, please login!")</script>
@Kruciphix This dude is hilariously ignorant. I doubt he's even aware of the irony of the accusation of flat-earth logic applied to himself, which in itself is a comparison that's out of place considering the forum. At least he types with his heart, though. lol
LOL you contradict yourself... You are saying that you agree with me about the fact that we can all have different opinion but yet you are telling us that we can't say that the show is amazing (witch is an opinion) if we care about the source material... so stop talking before you look even more stupid
@Kruciphix That's hilarious, you telling someone to go back to school when you can't even understand source material. Your opinion means nothing when you outright lie like that. Simple fact, the show is not amazing, period. You like it, that doesn't make it amazing in any way. @DarkFace You have the right to disagree with whatever you want, doesn't change the facts. The show is mediocre at best and changes just about everything about the characters it represents. That is simple fact and doesn't matter if you believe it or not. It's like people not believing that the earth is round, facts don't care if you believe in them or not.
Hellfist. Don't forget science fiction and fantasy have created just about every scientific step forward BEFORE we could physically do it. But one thing your right about, no inventors will be watching this season for ideas….too bad! And Star Trek introduced the flip movie phone 30 yrs before they could make it! (give or take a decade) Enjoy the escapism, i'm an actor/director so i have other reasons to watch what and how episodes i watch. But yes, first, escapism! Radi
s17 e04 -- http://openload.co/f/GxXDMIPICso
Goddam i hate Karen Page. as Soon as i saw this season would have Bullseye i hoped she would die like in the comics but NOOOOO had to kill awesome Father from the church love this show but everytime i see or hear Karen Page she is whining and being an annoying bitchy hypocrite damn why arent you dead.
Some of this show can be accepted in part of the message, but laws are laws and breaking them you are a criminal. This is yet another show forcing the message of pride in a nation and hate of illegals is wrong, in part hate because of nationality is wrong. But coming here breaking the laws of the land is wrong too, this has become slandered in tv and movies i guess now.
what was this a history lesson bringing up old wounds to relive past issue and trying to superimpose them on to what is going on today. Rossa parks is a great historical figure and king as well and if alive today would be shaming all those so called rights people who everyday blame another for their own faults. This show is going to far down the fact it is a sci fi show and the bit about aliens seems to get lost in this one. Was one of the all time worst episodes yet, very bad writing like shoehorning the politics and world issues into my escape from reality. Sorry but i watch sci fi and fantasy because they are a way to distance my self from life not to have it force fed to me.
I disagree with everything you've said except the part when you say it's mediocre. You seem to have a problem with retcons that occur in film and TV. That's a problem you and other opinionated shitheads have that I don't. As for it being mediocre, that's debatable.
And no one give a shit about what you think .IF YOU DON'T GET THAT EVERYONE CAN HAVE AN OPINION STOP ARGUING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW THEN YOU DON'T LIKE LIKE BUT DON'T TRY TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT LOVE IT. YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW SAY IT AND THAT'S IT DON'T JUDGE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY LOVES THE SHOW EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT EVERYTHING AND WE ALSO HAVE DIFFRENT TASTE DON'T DON'T GET TO CHOOSE FOR OTHERS MEN SO SHUT THE HELL UP AND KEEP YOUR OPINION ABOUT US (PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS SHOW) TO YOURSELF THAT IS SIMPLE . EVERONE IS DIFFERENT IF YOU DON'T GET THAT THEN GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!
@DarkFace You are right, to a point. The difference is, the good shows actually DO "give a shit" about source material. The ones that don't, often fail miserably. It's happened time and time and time again. Sorry, but the show is, again, at best, mediocre.
Hollywood doesn't give a shit about your source material; it hold little weight in being a measurement of how successful a show is. Remember that most people who're tuning aren't angry nerds overly concerned with accuracy to comic book canon. What you consider canon might as well be a retcon. It's happened before and it'll happen again. Only this time it's on TV instead of paper. It's a decent enough show, IMO. That's what really matters; whether you like or not. Pretty simple.
@Kruciphix You have no clue what you are talking about. There is no Titans, Teen Titans IS the source material, period. It doesn't matter what you say when you cannot even get that very simple fact straight. And again, as I have said at least twice now, if you want to say you enjoy the show, that's perfectly fine, but the fact still remains that calling it Amazing is BS. Get over it.
Titans is the source material not teen titans and you say whatever you want but we can say that the show is amazing even if it doesn't respect the source material.. IT IS AN OPINION if you can't accept that's too bad for you And one more thing MAYBE at the end of the season or in season 2 the character will look and act more like in the comics It's just the 2nd episde after all
@Kruciphix Of course there isn't a comic book show or movie that perfectly reflects the source material. I quite clearly said that a little change is fine. But this ISN'T a little change. This show is NOTHING like the Teen Titans, which IS the source material, period. You can like the show all you want, but as I said before, when it changes that much from the source material calling it amazing is just being dishonest. There is no defending that much of a change if you are a fan of the source material. You can say whatever you like, but calling it amazing is just BS.
And it's not because we don't respect the source material that we say it's amazing it's because we like the show, the action, the story, etc. Plus Starfire is a killer because she just don't remember who she is and she didn't remember that she had power... Btw Teen titans and titans not quit the same thing
Matoyoshi Their is no comics books show that respected perfectly the ''source material''
He is daredevil becuase he is the man without fear not because he wears a devil costume
@Hellfist costumes do not make the hero
What the fuck, should called this season blind man in black he never even once put the fucking suit on. What is the deal with not wearing the fucking costumes, i mean it is a comic book character and the costume is part of that whole thing. Like shooting a show about space but no one ever goes there they just stay on the planet.
Trust me @Matoyoshi im with you tbh havent even watched this due to how shit it looks but for all we know codexhound hasnt read any comics so who knows lol
@stevenlhargrove I agree that they could be amazing, but in this case they aren't. To be honest, I found the actress playing Starfire's acting to be atrocious. And it's one thing, like I said before, if they changed small things in the lore. That isn't the case here. They changed the very basis of the characters, that isn't a small thing. They made Raven into a scared little girl, they made Dick Grayson into an ungrateful prick that has become a bully. They made Starfire into a ruthless killer. None of that is even close to being accurate to the characters. The ONLY way a person could say the show is amazing is if they have never once read any of the comics or watched any of the cartoons or animated movies. It's one thing to say you enjoy the show. I wouldn't say a word about that, but to say the show is amazing when it doesn't resemble the Teen Titans at all, is just being dishonest.
@Matoyoshi while i disagree with @codexhound about it being the best DC show on right now (i think arrow tbh) @Kruciphix is right dude he can say the show is amazing. However i will say i agree with you in the context of teen titans lore not entirely on point but when it comes to A. the acting, B.The plot and C.the characters and settings those can be amazing even if the lore canonicity is not
@Kruciphix You can say whatever you want. That doesn't change the simple fact that by calling something amazing that has so many problems and resembles the source material in nothing more than name shows that you don't care about the source material at all. It would be fine if i was a few small changes, but it isn't. This is changing the very basis of the characters and it is far from amazing. Call it whatever you want, doesn't make it true.
Its been true for a couple of months now, all Liar links go to rellik shows. Can anyone put the real Liar episodes up? Thanks Radi
We have the right to call something amazing if we think it is.... And other tv show or movie has character who doesn't look or act at all like in the comics this happen a lot
May I get a refesh please? Going to check the bottom, but I would like all episodes and last links was really like 2 months ago and most are dead now. Thank you!
@Kruciphix I agree that everyone has a different opinion, but to call a show amazing when it has so many problems and doesn't resemble the source material in anything but name is not a good opinion to have. All that shows is that you don't care about the source material.

Sony is a bit behind the curve when it comes to the online side of the PlayStation 3. Yes, Sony fans, it is still a great online experience, and the people are fantastic, and the console is better, etc., etc., but the sad fact is that Sony is playing catch-up with Microsoft. The Xbox 360 has been airing video clips for years, has a full selection of music and videos to rent and buy, has begun to broadcast ESPN on Xbox Live (and also just announced that it will even be airing most of the Bowl games, including the national championship), and it is even discussing bringing a premium channel online. The PS3 hardware may be better, but the Xbox currently owns the online side. Search your feelings, PlayStation fan, you know it to be true.
But while Sony can sometimes take time to get to a conclusion, it eventually figures it out. Earlier this year, Sony began investing heavily in the future of the PlayStation Network. A yearly fee was initiated for an upgraded service, more video content—including exclusive programs like the Tester—became available, and much more was promised in the future. So far the results have not borne fruit in terms of cash for Sony, but that seems to be changing, and by next year the PSN could be turning a profit. By 2012, that profit margin could be in the billions.
In an interview with Reuters Japan (which was then translated and recounted by 1up.com), Sony Computer Entertainment President Kaz Hirai said that PSN sales in 2009 were approximately $434.3 million, and in 2010, that number nearly doubled. Next year that number is expected to nearly double again, putting the total sales into the billion dollar range, and by 2012, Sony expects the PSN to pull in around $3.6 billion in total sales.
Now, these numbers are coming from Sony itself, so the projections might be putting a heavy emphasis on internal confidence as much as anything, but there are figures to back up their optimism. Last month, the total number of PSN accounts topped 60 million. With December typically being one of the busiest sales months, that number could see a significant boost. There is also the fact that many analysts have predicted that thanks to the price cuts, the greater acceptance of blu-ray, and the growing list of exclusive titles, the PlayStation 3 could overtake the Xbox 360 as the second best selling console behind the Wii– so the projections are themselves based on projections.
For now PSN is still in the red, but it seems like Sony is finally catching up to its video game competitors. But playing catch up is something that Sony is used to by now. From the first day of its launch, the PlayStation 3 has been a hardware behemoth. It is by far the most powerful of the three major consoles, it has a blu-ray player built in, and of the three, Sony has the biggest global reach. And yet the PS3 continued to see lower than expected sales, lost money on each unit sold until recently, and still remains in third place.
The reasons are up for debate. Some might argue that the Xbox 360 used its year head start very effectively while Nintendo attacked a new market of casual gamers, leaving the PS3 out in the cold. Others might argue that the price tag, coupled with Sony's bewildering approach of "if you want it, work harder and save your money" to the price turned others away. Whatever the cause, the first few years of life have been rocky for the system.
But then in 2010 things began to click. Sony seemed to have learned its lessons, and the price of the PS3 began to drop. More units were sold, and that created more manufacturing which lowered the cost of the parts, which in turn finally dropped the PS3 to a position where each unit sold was netting a profit after three and a half years.
Patience was part of it, but so was finding the right ways to appeal to gamers. As the PSN begins to show a profit, expect Sony to continue to expand the services it offers. The hardware battle will rage on, but the next battlefield is shaping up to be the online services offered to gamers.
Whatever console you own, the success of the PSN is good news. Competition breeds innovation, so as Sony's profits soar, Microsoft and Nintendo will almost certainly continue to push their online services as well. Regardless of your console of choice, 2011 is already shaping up to be a very interesting one for gamers.
[Updated: As one of our more charming commenters pointed out, the number of 60 million PSN accounts includes both the PS3 and PSP. The article has been updated and the sentence in question removed.]

round bar
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got these to outfit my truck cap, perfect for throwing literally whatever up there, i dabble between the RTT and bikes. sturdy and works with most add ones you really cant go wrong.
Cross Bar Standard
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We have gotten many years of use out of our Yakima racks and accessories. I've yet to have any problems with any of the Yakima products we have throughly used. From the Cross Bars, Q Towers, Rail Riders, Bike mounts and trays, Cargo Boxes, Locks and the list goes on...Durable, quality and functional products. Love them all!
Great Bars!!
The round bars are a classic choice that you can't go wrong with. If you aren't wanting to fork out the extra cash to get the streamline look of the whispbar, then this is the cross bar for you. The only down fall of the round bars is they do create a little more noise from the wind and they are a little heavier then the whispbar. You can accommodate the noise problem by picking up the fairing. That will eliminate most of the whistling as you are cruising down the road. If you have anymore question feel free to hit me up on chat or email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. I would love to help you out with any question you may have.
Great roof rack bars
These roof rack bars and the associated load stops make strapping stuff to the roof rack very easy with ratchet straps or bungee cords. After many years moisture does get past the end caps and the bar will rust on the inside, especially if you like to pull a plug and stick a pipe in the bar to support a shower curtain when camping. If you don't want any internal rust in the long term, clean the machining oil out of the bar by pulling a solvent dampened rag through it a few times and then spray cold galvanize into the bar and work it through from both ends. It won't ever rust internally if you do that.
66 inches worth of goods
While I could have squeezed a few more miles out of my rusted old 48 inches bars despite transferring them to three different trucks over the last 12 years, the time finally came when my gear demanded more space on top of the 02 X-terra. So I boned up for the 66inchers. Now, with careful planning, I can fit on two bikes, a wide-arce kayak, and a space box with just enough room to open the box. Saved my road trips from monotonous boredom.
Doubles as ???
The crossbar works well; is plenty sturdy, doesn't make the wind-noise that my rectangular bar makes, and is a thrill for my 10 year old to grab ahold and swing into and out-of the truck. I'd say Yakima makes a better product.
yakima 60" bar
This 60" bar length is excellent in carrying my 2 sea touring kayaks (17' & 16 plus, and my 2 mountain bikes with wheels forks. The Yakima racks were plenty strong at high speeds. My car, a 1995 Subaru wagon. This rack system was also perfect for my 1999 Saab 9-5 (with different clips). Bottom line, if you need interior cargo space, get yourself a pair of 60" bars. They work great.

A development environment for new Lispers.

Seems to work well, LTK seems to misbehave
Lispbox is a great answer for a Non-GUI one-stop LISP distribution.
It seems that the biggest problem with LISP today is that there is 'Too much Choice'... meaning that its really hard for a new user to get an acceptable programming environment because of the multitude of incompatible releases and add-ons. Many distributions of LISP work fine until you try to add something to them, then you get sucked into a LISP-hole, acting as an evaluator of software, which is a huge time-killer. Lispbox helps to smooth this transition, by giving you most of what you need to be able to program in LISP. However, there is no built-in GUI support.
This leads the newbie into a LISP-hole... like an ebay-hole, it is an undefined period of time, where everything else appears to stop for many hours on end, while you are wrapped up in evaluting scores of potential answers that may or may not provide the answer that you were seeking in the first place.
This can be especially cumbersome for someone new to modern LISPs & Emacs versions, and Slime and other glue necessary to make the development environment work right under Windows. If a UNIX sys admin/software engineer with 25 years of advanced computer science experience has to spend 16 hours fiddling with something, as a LISP newbie, how long does it take for a high school kid that's a LISP newbie?
Gut reaction-don't even bother... unless you are dead-set on getting the programming environment you want, without having to resort to a commercial distribution (which most people won't, hence LISP is not as big as perl with programmers of all ages, no matter how powerful it is).
Anyway, Lispbox with CLISP almost gets it right for the user looking to
to 'download and learn' it just needs to iron out an acceptable GUI facility.
LTK provides a free GUI for CLISP that uses TK, but it has some proplems in the 0.7 Lispbox.
The hitch that I have run into is that LTK, the GUI patch add-on for CLISP does not work as expected all of the time in Lispbox. Some example code from the LTK manual works right (canvastest), but examples such as (hello-world1) and 2 require the user to interrupt the LISP process before they will display. Aside from that, when it does work, windowing appears very slow compared to native TCL/TK.
I would like to see LTK integrated into Lispbox, so that it works correctly, and have some attention paid to overall performance issues. When things run slowly on a dual Xeon, something's wrong!
Thanks for a CLI great distribution, I hope that it gets an LTK GUI, to make it useful in the real world.

Less than 48 hours ago, Charlie Manuel didn't sound like a man with a plan to overhaul his coaching staff.
"I'm comfortable with the coaches," Manuel said before Tuesday's game in Washington. "I'm definitely not sending them a message that they didn't do their job. I'm just saying that, what I see, we've got to improve."
But less than 24 hours after the Philies season ended, the staff has been given a facelift, including adding a Hall of Famer to the bench.
Ryne Sandberg was named the Phillies third base coach and infield instructor on Thursday morning, a day after the season ended with the team dismissing three coaches: first base coach Sam Perlozzo, bench coach Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross.
Sandberg has spent the last two seasons managing at Triple A Lehigh Valley. But after being interiewed for the St. Louis Cardinals manager's job last winter, the Phils obviously felt it was imperative to add Sandberg to the major league staff this year to keep him in the organization.
Other coaching moves announced Thursday:
- Juan Samuel, who has acted as the third base coach in the last two seasons, has been offered the first base coaching job, which has been vacated by Perlozzo.
- Steve Henderson and Rod Nichols have been promoted from within the organization to hitting coach and bullpen coach. Mick Billmeyer, who had been the bullpen coach, has been promoted to catching coach.
-The Phillies will not have a bench coach in 2013. But with pitching coach Rich Dubee back for his ninth season as pitching coach, and 12th in the Philies organization, he is Manuel's de facto right-hand man.
But the biggest news is Sandberg joining the staff. The 53-year-old had spent the last six seasons in the minor leagues, being groomed as a major league managing candidate.
He has been widely rumored to be the heir to Manuel, who is entering the final season of a three-year contract extension he signed in March of 2010.

Tamils need native movements to confront Colombo-centric environmental exploitations
[Thu, 05 Jul 2018, 23:49 GMT]
Many recent reports from the eastern coast of the North-East indicate a widespread pattern of various corporate and state-centric exploitations targeting the natural resources of the territorial sea and the coast of the North-East. Colombo-based corporates and traders are exploiting export-related businesses, be it sea cucumber export to China, fake mangroves and minerals to the USA and Japan, or mining sand for shipping to the neighbouring state of Maldives. On top of this, Colombo-centric State-to-State relationships originating from geopolitics-driven 慸evelopment?narrative, as well as military to military 慹xchanges? are challenging the sovereignty of Eezham Tamils in a big-scale along the territorial sea and the strategic cost.

Geneva-based human rights regime is big disappointment: Tamil political prisoners
[Wed, 04 Jul 2018, 20:29 GMT]
Tamil political prisoners languishing in Anuradhapura prison have questioned the role of the international community, particularly the UN human rights regime based in Geneva, in defending their rights. The successive High Commissioners of Human Rights, as well as the council mechanism of the UNHRC, have failed to exert pressure on the unitary state of genocidal Sri Lanka to release the prisoners of the times of war. The comment comes from the Tamil prisoners, who learned on Monday that the so-called Special High Court in Anuradhapura, which was set up to address their cases, transferred their cases back to Anuradhapura High Court, after dragging the cases for five more years.

Macro-level approach needed to confront genocidal land grab in Mullaiththeevu
[Mon, 02 Jul 2018, 22:55 GMT]
The occupying military of genocidal Sri Lanka is deploying the ethnic chauvinist Archaeology Department of the unitary State with a motive to permanently Sinhalicise a private property, which is of religious significance to the native Tamils at Oddu-chuddaan in Mullaiththeevu, after being repeatedly confronted by the family of the 62-year-old landowner, V. Kanagasundaram. The SL military invited the family at the presence of the Divisional Secretary on 25 June to a meeting in which their 5-acre land was supposed to be handed back to the rightful owner. J. Indrakumar, an official at the Divisional Secretariat also confirmed that the SL military had invited the family to release the lands. However, the meeting turned out to be a different one, the family told TamilNet.

Colombo accelerates delinking of Tamil-speaking demographic contiguity in North-East
[Sat, 30 Jun 2018, 22:08 GMT]
SL Governor to East Rohitha Bogollagama, conspiring with the Sinhala-Buddhist establishment and the administrative officials of the unitary state, has instructed the Divisional Secretary of Kuchchave'li to survey 400 acres of lands at Arisimalai, which is located 50 km north of Trincomalee city. The Sinhala colonial governor was arguing in favour of the extremist Sinhala Buddhist monks stating that the lands belong to the Buddhist vihara. The move, which has long been objected by the Tamil-speaking Muslims, is surfacing again at the absence of an elected Provincial Council in the East. Tamil-speaking activists in Pulmoaddai say that the Sinhala Buddhist establishment is trying to survey at least 1,300 acres of lands from Arisimalai to Thiriyaay in the division of Kuchchave'li.

Sinhalas have come in big way, as opening of Kandyan Kingdom: Rt Rev Jebanesan
[Thu, 28 Jun 2018, 23:38 GMT]
Tamils had been the first inhabitants and an original people of this island. Although some historians accept that fact, the present Sinhala historians do not take it. Back in the old days, when H.C. Ray was the professor of history at the University of Ceylon, he used to refute the claim that Tamils were interlopers. The interlopers were the Sinhalas and not the Tamils, he used to say. However, one is unable to resonate that fact anymore, says Rt Rev Dr S Jebanesan, the former Bishop of the Jaffna Diocese of the Church of South India, in an exclusive interview to TamilNet. The tyranny of the 憁ajority?is dominating the post-colonial political discourses and the case of 慡ri Lanka?is a classic example of this trend, the scholar of philosophy, theology as well as the Tamil and English languages, said.

2ND LEAD (Correction)
Two Tamil girls brutally raped by occupying Sinhala soldiers of genocidal Sri Lanka
[Tue, 26 Jun 2018, 23:26 GMT]
Sinhala-speaking soldiers of the 18th Sri Lanka National Guard have brutally raped two Tamil school girls in Batticaloa on 18 June. The victims are at the age of thirteen and fifteen. The two girls, and a 6-year-old boy, who is the brother of one of the victims, were being chased by the occupying soldiers sometime after 8:00 a.m. Then, the soldiers stuffed clothes into the mouth of the girls, bound their hands and took them away. The rapists were from the 18th SLNG stationed at Panichchang-kea'ni junction, according to the available information.

Sand mining, backed by Colombo's authority and monk, destroys ecology of verukal river
[Sun, 24 Jun 2018, 22:32 GMT]
A Sinhala trader from Kantha'laay in Trincomalee district, Ms Ramani Herath, is operating a sand mining business exploiting Verukal river basin at Aaladi in Koa'ra'laip-pattu North (Vaakarai) division, north of Batticaloa. The sand extraction is going on disregarding the concerns of the native people of erosion and other mining-induced consequences disrupting the channel and the habitat. At least 24 truckloads of sands are being transported to Colombo on a daily basis, deploying the vehicles of a Tamil businessman from Chengkaladi, local government sources in Vaakarai told TamilNet. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam were protecting Vaakarai from structural genocide and exploitation during the times of peace and war until 2007 when the entire area faced an all-out genocidal war by the SL State.

Colombo's TID wants to interrogate Tamil journalist from Batticaloa
[Fri, 22 Jun 2018, 13:20 GMT]
The 慣errorist Investigation Division?of the police of the unitary State of genocidal Sri Lanka has instructed the chairperson of the Batticaloa District Tamil Journalists Association, Valasingam Krishnakumar, to attend a TID questioning in Colombo on Friday. The TID wants to record a written statement from Mr Krsihnakumar. The latest harassment involving a journalist in the East is reported amidst a series of similar interrogation 慽nvitations?being served to Tamil activists, including a provincial minister in the North, especially after Eezham Tamils marking the Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day on 18 May.

Wigneswaran's secretary accuses SL Presidential Secretariat of dodging land release in North
[Wed, 20 Jun 2018, 11:52 GMT]
The Secretary of the NPC Chief Minister's Ministry Ms Vijeyaluckshmi Ketheeswaran has publicly criticised SL President's Secretariat in Colombo for evading the process of stock-taking the extent of militarised lands in Mullaiththeevu and coming with a proposal for phased release of private lands back to the people. Mullaiththeevu is one of the heavily militarised districts of the Northern Province. Two months have elapsed since she attended a meeting convened in Colombo at the SL Presidential Secretariat on 11th April, Ms Vijayaluckshmi told journalists in Jaffna on Tuesday, a day after the SL President Maithiripala Sirisena, who was visiting Ki'linochchi handed over a document to the Government Agent of Mullaiththeevu of releasing just 52 acres of lands in the district.

Occupying SL Police in Jaffna again blamed for dodging action on criminal policemen
[Mon, 18 Jun 2018, 23:05 GMT]
Post-mortem examinations have revealed that the 32-year-old Tamil victim, who died after SL Police fired on him within the premises of a Catholic church at Mallaakam in Jaffna on Sunday evening, was caused by a gunshot that pierced his lungs. The bullet entered from backside below the shoulder. Besides, there were also wounds indicating that he had been beaten, medical sources said. In the meantime, the SL police Senior DIG in Jaffna Roshan Fernando went on record stating that the policeman was involved in the firing was being detained. But, no such police officer was produced to the courts, legal sources in Jaffna told TamilNet Monday night.

US naval, seismic partnerships with genocidal Sri Lanka bring miseries to Eezham Tamils in Trincomalee
[Sat, 16 Jun 2018, 20:31 GMT]
New police posts have been put up, and security patrols beefed up in Moothoor East of Trincomalee district following increased joint naval exercises between the U.S. Pacific Command and the naval forces of genocidal Sri Lanka in the seas off Trincomalee, the occupied and Sinhalicised capital of Eezham Tamils. Two weeks ago, on 30 May, Colombo also signed a trade deal with the subsidiary of the American firm Schlumberger for seismic study off the east coast of the occupied country of Eezham Tamils. Now, commando units of the notorious Special Task Force (STF) have been deployed to carry out days long clearing operations in Moothoor East where SLNS Vidura naval base is located.

Only an international investigation would establish truth on enforced disappeared
[Thu, 14 Jun 2018, 20:03 GMT]
The Tamil families in the eight districts across the North-East have thoroughly denounced the Office of the Missing Persons (OMP) as just another false move by the SL State. The families have democratically rejected it with majority Tamils opposing it than those attending its sittings. Further, the OMP is unable to stand the two tests placed by the district organisations of the families of enforced disappeared, Eeswary Mariyathas, the head of Mullaiththeevu district organisation for enforced disappeared, told TamilNet on Thursday. Her opinion comes as the uprooted people in Trincomalee followed the trend in Mannaar, Vavuniyaa and Mullaiththeevu in staging protests against the deceptive OMP.

Mannaar mass grave could be from early 1990s, shocking details emerge
[Tue, 12 Jun 2018, 19:49 GMT]
Field archaeologists from the South, deployed to excavate the alleged site of mass graves in the former SL military held high-security zone in Mannaar island, are trying to project the massacre site as an ancient burial site, families of enforced disappeared Tamils, who witnessed their attitude on Tuesday told TamilNet. The excavators have found two old rings, which they claim as non-customary to contemporary times. However, on the 4th day of excavations, a Maliban biscuit packaging material was discovered very close to a human skeleton giving an indication when the killings could have occurred. Careful inspection of the rotten package has established the fact that it dates from a stock sold between the years of 1989 and 1990, legal sources told TamilNet.

Tamil families caught in dilemma of transferring lands in Seruvila, Trincomalee
[Sun, 10 Jun 2018, 19:14 GMT]
The rulers of genocidal Sri Lanka, who launched a Sinhala colonisation scheme and created the division of Seruvila in the district of Trincomalee, also gave some lands to Tamil families in the past to avoid the criticism of Sinhala Only policy in settlement schemes. The division, sandwiched between Moothoor and Eachchilam-pattai divisions, was carved out of the traditional Tamil homeland. It is a dominant Sinhala division today. However, some settlements continue to be Tamil areas along the southern border of Moothoor division. The older generation of Eelam Tamil landowners who want to transfer their lands to their children are facing the dilemma of spending more money to retain their lands or leaving the fate of their properties at the hands of the Sinhala land officials in Seruvila, Tamil civil officials in Moothoor said.

Source files from one of digital cameras witnessing 2009 genocide released to public domain
[Tue, 03 Jul 2018, 23:39 GMT]
A surviving staff reporter of the Eezha-naatham daily, one of the few media to directly witness the last phase of the genocidal war in Vanni, released this week a set of photos and video clips from one of the digital cameras used by an Eezham Tamil humanitarian worker during the final days of the onslaught in 2009. Apart from serving the purpose of documenting the genocide, the material would also be useful to the kith and kin of the victims who perished in the onslaught and to those who are searching for their loved ones, says Suren Karthikesu, the journalist who is exiled in Vancouver, Canada. TamilNet brings the material to the public domain with the warning that some of the photos would be too upsetting to the viewers.

Champoor Tamils experience trauma as Colombo trains marine forces in occupied Moothoor East
[Sun, 01 Jul 2018, 10:20 GMT]
The occupying navy of genocidal Sri Lanka deployed its marine commandos in a convoy of 45 vehicles, including 15 armoured cars, in one of the biggest training exercises to be traumatically experienced by the resettled Eezham Tamils in Moothoor East of Trincomalee district on Friday. The war-affected families, especially the elder-generation among them, were caught in trauma due to the roaming vehicles and the live firing, which reminded them of the times of genocidal onslaught in 2007. The political observers in the East ask the question for whom the marine force is getting prepared at the physical and psychological expense of war-affected Eezham Tamils of Moothoor East.

Sinhala colonisation chokes off territorial contiguity of Tamil homeland at Thennai-maravadi
[Fri, 29 Jun 2018, 23:05 GMT]
The occupying Sinhala colonists have stepped the land grab of Pa'nikkar-vayal in Thennai-maravadi, an ancient Tamil village situated in the north of Kuchcha-ve'li division of Trincomalee district. The encroachment targets the strategic border between the Northern and Eastern provinces choking off the territorial contiguity of the Tamil homeland. The move is also seen as an attempt to annex Thennai-maravadi with the Sinhala division of Padavi Sri Pura in the west to create a sea-access corridor to that division. Besides, the move also threatens the neighbouring Tamil-speaking Muslim village of Pulmoaddai, Tamil and Muslim grassroots activists in Kuchchave'li told TamilNet this week.

Occupying Colombo steps up sting operations to justify continuation of draconian PTA
[Wed, 27 Jun 2018, 22:31 GMT]
The so-called Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) of occupying Colombo has detained six Tamil men in the Ki'linochchi district during the last four days. Most of the arrested are believed to be ex-LTTE members. The recent arrests by the SL TID come following an incident on 22 June at former LTTE stronghold of Puthukkudiyiruppu (PTK) in Mullaiththeevu district. The entire episode seems to be a sting operation initiated by the SL military intelligence to project a false impression that there were ex-LTTE members, still interested in reviving an armed struggle, informed sources in Ki'linochchi told TamilNet on Wednesday. The operation seems to combine counter-insurgency experiments along with an intention to justify the continuation of the draconian and abusive 慞revention of Terrorism Act?(PTA), the sources further said.

SL authorities dilly-dally over covering costs of excavating mass grave in Mannaar
[Mon, 25 Jun 2018, 07:27 GMT]
The excavation of the mass grave, discovered last month at the premises of the Cooperative Wholesale Establishment (CWE) in Mannaar, face the danger of cancellation or postponement as the SL authorities have started to dilly-dally over the coverage of the expenses associated with the process, legal sources in Mannaar said. In the meantime, the social activists and the relatives of the people subjected to enforced disappearance in Mannaar believe that the occupying military of genocidal Sri Lanka, which was stationed at the locality during the times of war, had dumped the abducted Tamils at the site. The representatives of the enforced families believe that the victims were killed sometime between 1982 and 1992.

Continuing military excavations in Vanni imply existence of secret detention of ex-LTTE members
[Sat, 23 Jun 2018, 23:46 GMT]
The head of Mullaiththeevu district organisation of the families of enforced disappeared, Ms Easwary Mariyathas, told TamilNet on Saturday that the recent upsurge of 憈reasure hunting?operations by the occupying military of genocidal Sri Lanka, was an indicator that the SL military was still detaining ex-LTTE members in secret detentions. There have been many recent incidents in which SL military or SL military associated groups from the South, engaging in targeted treasure hunting operations in the Vanni mainland. The squads seem to be particularly interested in finding gold reserves from the LTTE times.

Jaffna Tamil fishers mobilise against southern poaching, expose conduct of SL police
[Thu, 21 Jun 2018, 16:24 GMT]
Eezham Tamil fishers in Vadamaraadchi East, Jaffna, took to the seas Wednesday night encircling and detaining eight sea cucumber poachers from the South. The mobilised action response from the native Tamil fishers came as the intruding divers from the South had sneaked into the seas off Kaddaik-kaadu in Vadamaraadchi East with lighting and diving equipment in three boats. The native fishers, who spotted the massive lighting, wanted to hand over the detained poachers with evidence to the fisheries authorities. But, the SL police of occupying Colombo intervened and freed the intruding southern poachers. It also turned against the Tamil fishers. The discriminatory conduct spontaneously triggered off strong reactions from the people, who demanded the SL Police to revert its position.

SL military stationed in 6,275 acres of public and private lands in Vaakarai, Batticaloa
[Tue, 19 Jun 2018, 18:33 GMT]
All the three armed forces and the police of the unitary State of genocidal Sri Lanka are still occupying 6,275 acres of lands in Koa'ra'laip-pattu North (Vaakarai), one of the 14 administrative divisions in Batticaloa district. Although eleven years have elapsed since the SL military seized the division from the control of the LTTE, Colombo is refusing to de-militarise the division, which is home to 7,517 Tamil families, who are mostly poverty-stricken. The people who are dependent on agriculture, fishing and forest-based activities as their livelihood are one of the most poverty-stricken sections in the entire district.

Swiss ruling, a precedent-setting victory for Right of Self-Determination oriented freedom fighters
[Fri, 15 Jun 2018, 21:07 GMT]
Zurich-based legal experts, who represented the former LTTE-associated activists in Switzerland involved in the fundraising to the struggle of Eezham Tamil independence, have praised the recent verdict in the Swiss Federal Criminal Court as a precedent-setting victory. The decision is a victory for the Right of Self-determination oriented national liberation armed struggles that get wrongly classified as terrorism due to international politics, Marcel Bosonnet, one of the legal experts who defended the Tamil activists told TamilNet in an interview on Friday. The judges felt that there were not enough concrete proofs to consider the LTTE as a criminal organisation. This ruling is outstanding and is much better-placed than the EU ruling as it challenges the international politics based terrorism classification with a principled legal question, Tamil legal activists in Switzerland said.

Colombo schemes Sinhala military-led industrialisation of KKS exploiting geopolitics
[Wed, 13 Jun 2018, 22:37 GMT]
The occupying military of genocidal Sri Lanka was re-constructing the KKS Harbour with the assistance from New Delhi after 2009. The Indian Central Government has been claiming that assistance was meant for the development of the war-affected North. But, the native people or their Provincial Council, which was introduced following the Indo-Lanka Accord, have no say or access to KKS Harbour, Cement Factory and the people are not resettled. The entire area is still a Sinhala Military Zone. Now, plans are afoot to set up an IT industry through deploying occupying Sinhala military personnel with foreign assistance. In the meantime, SL military commander in Jaffna is also aiming to put up an export-oriented garments industry in KKS and is consulting with major garments industrial owners in the South.

These services are all based on the federal Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), which ensure that all children with disabilities have the opportunity to receive a free and appropriate education (FAPE) to support their unique development and learning needs. The evidence has shown that one of the most effective ways to achieve this mandate is to reach children with developmental delays and disabilities when they are very young. Early intervention and education helps to open the window of opportunity for young children with disabilities and their families.

Fans in attendance at the Linc Sunday afternoon found a way to voice their frustration with head coach Andy Reid, chanting "Fire Andy" in the third quarter.
The Eagles had a 3rd-and-1 from the Patriots' 2 yard line, but LeSean McCoy got stuffed on a run to the right side. Down 31-13, the Eagles decided to go for it on fourth down. Vince Young faked a handoff and rolled to his right, before throwing incomplete to Brent Celek in the corner of the end zone.
That's when the chants broke out. They did not last long, as the Patriots' offense took over, but they were certainly audible, both at the Linc and on the CBS broadcast.
After the game, Reid said he didn't hear the chants, but allowed that he could understand them, given the way the Eagles played.
The 38-20 loss puts the Eagles at 4-7, three games behind the Cowboys in the NFC East with just five games to go.

If they are married, I don't know. I think I would be on the fence. But not married: her decision.-Nam
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
i took his opinions into consideration when we got pregnant, but ultimately it was my decision, because if he decided to leave, he could...i'm still left with our child. when men can say they'll be there 110% of the childs life as long as the child needs, then they can have a say, but when so many women are left with the children, and it's the woman's body this takes place in, men should just keep quiet about it lol
Obviously, while pregnant a woman doesn't have the option of simply running away from her situation, but once the child is born a woman has just as much opportunity to abandon her family as a man does. It may not happen as frequently (no idea on the men vs. women family abandonment statistics), but it certainly does happen.
Ditto with vasectomy. I think its insane that a spouse has to sign the permission slip. Of course the man should discuss it, assuming a loving relationship, but there might be reasons not to tell her.
<sniption>Child support is where it gets complicated for me. Personally, if I got pregnant against the will of my partner, and I chose to keep it, I'd be inclined to let him off the hook. But if he had money and I didn't, I don't know. If we both wanted to have children, he should definitely help care for the child.<sniption>
... nowhere am I suggesting that child support shouldnt be provided, let me get that straight, but I am saying that it can be debilitating...
Is there an egg bank for men?
My opinion of mens abortion rights... CONDOMS CONDOMS CONDOMS And for the people who think abortion should be illegal... bullcrap - it should be obsolete. There should be RESEARCH for effective birth control; EDUCATION so young kids have something better to do than screw; TREATMENT so mentally ill assholes don't rape; and GENETIC TESTING to detect and eliminate life threatening birth defects. If all the effort that goes in to waving signs and picketing clinics went in to these things maybe we would be closer to abortion being a choice no one had to make.

New Jersey business owners are feeling increasingly optimistic, according to a new survey from the New Jersey Business and Industry Association.
The organization today released its 54th annual Business Outlook Survey, based on responses from 1,470 companies across the state, most with fewer than 50 employees.
"Business is picking up, business confidence is rising and growing numbers of businesses believe New Jersey is on the right track," said Philip Kirschner, the association's president.
Seventeen percent of responding companies said they added staff in 2012. Twenty-two percent reported downsizing, but those numbers are improved from last year, when 15 percent of employers hired and 27 percent cut back — and much better than 2009, when 48 percent of companies reported staffing reductions and just 8 percent said they were hiring.
Going forward, 19 percent of companies said they plan to hire in 2013, while 11 percent expect to shrink their work forces.
The survey found current sales activity reached its highest point in five years, and 45 percent of companies said they expected profits to increase next year. Another 34 percent said profits will likely stay the same.
The survey was conducted in September, raising questions about whether optimism — and hiring — could be diminished in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and with the current uncertainty in Washington surrounding health care reform implementation and the so-called "fiscal cliff."
"There are a lot of uncertainties all coming together," Kirschner said. "What encourages me, though — the fiscal cliff and the health care (law) were known when this survey was done, and still the numbers are really relatively high compared to previous years."
The survey also showed the state's business climate and reputation appear to be improving. Twenty-two percent of respondents said New Jersey is a "good" or "very good" place to expand their business. That's up from 18 percent last year.
Most of the credit appears to be going to Gov. Chris Christie, whom 73 percent of respondents rated "good to excellent." Twenty-six percent of respondents said the state Legislature is doing a "good-to-excellent" job, while 50 percent said the Legislature was doing a "fair" job.
Tracye McDaniel, president and CEO of the business recruitment nonprofit Choose New Jersey, greeted the hiring and expansion numbers as a sign the state is headed in the right direction.
"Both of these survey findings arm Choose New Jersey with positive statistics and a clear message that New Jersey is good for business as we work to attract more companies, jobs and capital investment to our state," she said in a written statement.

Sepang, 14 May 2014 – Over the last 48 hours and the Wesak holidays, klia2 saw a peak in its traffic movements recording close to 160,000 passengers on more than 900 flights.

The aerobridges docking were all on time with 98% of the aerobridges docked within 2 minutes of aircraft being parked at gate. The bays and gates allocation have also improved significantly to being just 9 bay changes on 13 May and no bay changes up till noon today.
The commercial offerings at the klia2 terminal continue to be improved with 105 commercial outlets opened now for public's enjoyment. Out of these, 35 are F&B outlets spread out through the terminal in both the domestic and international boarding piers. There are 12 F&B outlets at the departure hall, 9 at the domestic piers and 14 at the international piers. In additional there are 60 F&B outlets at Gateway@klia2. There are 4 banks operating at klia2 namely AmBank and Maybank at Gateway@klia2 whilst CIMB Bank and Hong Leong Bank are in the terminal proper, and a total of 6 Bureau de change services for the convenience of passengers.
The holidays and the varied klia2 promotions by the airlines led to an exceptionally high number of passengers and visitors at klia2. Over the last 2 days more than 200,000 people were at klia2 and gateway@klia2. The facilities were heavily used and the airport operations team and the service contractors were working extra hard to ensure that the facilities were in good order especially on overall cleanliness and trolley management. There are a total of 140 cleaners working per shift, to maintain the total 830 toilet cubicles at 70 different locations provided at klia2. In addition there are 120 workers to manage the trolleys. Malaysia Airports seeks the public's patience and support in helping it keep the facilities clean and in good working order with proper usage. We are looking at new initiatives such as to install the Customer Realtime Feedback System in the toilets for the public to report issues pertaining to cleanliness and breakdowns – to help us to respond more quickly. We have also been able to receive and respond to public feedback via social media on such issues – which we have found useful.
Malaysia Airports would like to thank the public for its support on klia2 and hopes that together with all stakeholders, it will be able to make KLIA/klia2 a more competitive hub in the region. Malaysia has come a long way in overall aviation leadership whereby we were able to open klia2 smoothly with all airport systems working efficiently with an average traffic flow of over 60,000 passengers daily. In comparison when KLIA was opened in 1998, it's daily average was around 30,000 passengers.

It's already been out for iOS for a while, but today, Android users can join in on this piece of gaming history as well. Chrono Trigger, arguably one of the best - if not the best - games ever made has just been released for Android. Whether you ascribe to that position or not, this 1995 SNES classic from Square was revolutionary in many ways (oh the music...), and you owe it to yourself to give it a go. It's EUR 7.99, which isn't cheap, but trust me: it's worth it. My Nexus 7 just became even more useful.
