World's biggest gay magazine: no compassion and tolerance for a former lesbian and her daughter
By Julio Severo
The Advocate, the biggest gay magazine in America and, in its own words, "The World's Leading News Source for LGBT", has just put its sights on LifeSiteNews and me in its defense of lesbian activist Janet Jenkins.
|The Advocate: Mockery of Christ
What would make a lesbian pursue the custody of a child at the expense of her biological mother? Of course, gay readers of The Advocate agree with any gay mission, as long as the gay agenda is ultimately exalted. But one lesbian commentator, who sided with Jenkins, asked the tough question:
"The child was about a year old when they split up and Miller has been the sole parent of the child for all this time. So any question of whether she is a fit or unfit mother is moot… I understand the heartache Jenkins must feel for her loss but what kind of relationship could she possibly have at this point if Miller is uncooperative and hostile?"
In fact, Jenkins was able to have some time with Isabella, in court-ordered visits that left the girl traumatized.
Yet, who else is asking tough questions? The US government, which is actively promoting the gay agenda around the world, wants nothing to do with tough questions detrimental to the homosexualist interests. And the FBI, to its own shame, is after a girl and her natural mother, because an unrelated lesbian wants her, at all costs.
The cost has been high, indeed. So far, two ministers have been arrested, because they helped Lisa Miller and her daughter Isabella flee the United States. Rev. Timothy Miller was arrested by FBI when he arrived at the US from his missionary work in Nicaragua. He was arrested at the airport in the presence of his wife and four children. To show PC compassion to the interests and ambitions of a lesbian activist, the FBI had to show cruelty to a Christian family.
In its investigations, the FBI decoded the Pennsylvania German language used by the ministers in their efforts to transfer Lisa Miller and her daughter from the United States to Canada, then to Mexico, then to Nicaragua and then to Ecuador — as alleged by The Advocate. (If the FBI had been this effective in decoding the "language" of Islamic terrorists before 2001, 9/11 would have never happened!) Subsequently, another minister was arrested. It is implacable persecution solely to serve the gay agenda.
The Advocate, satisfied with the FBI engagement, implied that LifeSiteNews may be involved. Hey, publish any article defending a former lesbian and her daughter, and the Gaystapo will say that you have committed a crime against the gay agenda. And perhaps many Christians have begun accepting the wrong-headed idea that it is a crime to defend this helpless mother and her daughter, because while the secular and gay media have been vocal about the "rights" of Janet Jenkins, the Christian media are largely silent.
By the way, The Advocate has also mentioned me, calling me and other Christians "antigay", just because we do not accept the gay agenda, and just because we oppose the wickedness that the gay agenda has been committing against Lisa Miller and her daughter.
The Advocate said,
"In a December 1 Life Site News op-ed titled 'Cowardice: The State and Homosexualist Powers Against a Former Lesbian and Her Daughter,' Brazilian antigay activist Julio Severo characterized Lisa Miller and her daughter as victims in a perceived war against religious freedom. Jenkins, meanwhile, was cast as a predator and cynical 'lesbian activist.'"
If Miller and her biological daughter are not victims, what are they? Oppressors of Jenkins? Poor Jenkins: the FBI and the liberal mass press have been smearing her, because Miller refuses to return her biological daughter! How cynical Miller is to defend her daughter!
The homosexual desires of Jenkins are more important than Miller's biological motherhood, more important than Jesus Christ (to whom Lisa and her daughter have dedicated their lives) and more important than the moral, spiritual and physical well-being of Isabella herself.
Another The Advocate commentator noted,
"The issue here is simple. Isabella does not belong to Jenkins because she is not her biological mother or father. No court or government has the right to force custody like this. The sooner Jenkins understands this the better."
In spite of all the facts, the blind militancy of The Advocate and its supporters keep them from accepting basic realities, biological and otherwise. Instead, people are forced to accept their unnatural realities. And the US government and the FBI side with them, not with Miller, me or LifeSiteNews, to make sure the unnatural takes precedence over the natural, for the sake of homosexuality and its agenda.
So what now? Should LifeSiteNews be targeted for FBI surveillance? Should I also be targeted for FBI surveillance, because of my article defending the oppressed, not the oppressor? "Oh, sure!" The Advocate and its gay chorus would shout. Other radicals would say, "Arrest him!" "Crucify him" — this last wish came from a Brazilian gay in a homosexual website. The Advocate could reply, "Oh, we are not that mean! FBI and imprisonment is enough".
And, actually, the FBI is making arrests. Kenneth Miller, the second minister arrested, was under FBI surveillance for other religious contacts that helped Lisa Miller and her daughter. The FBI is determined to arrest any other evangelical minister involved in their defense. If such FBI surveillance had targeted Islamic contacts, it would have been labeled a hate crime. Apparently, only gays and Muslims are entitled to protest government interference in PC America.
With such FBI policies, how can America be safe? Yet, what does it matter to the liberal US government and liberal media? The important thing is to make the gay agenda safe, regardless how unsafe the innocent will be.
Evangelical ministers, a biological mother and her daughter: everybody may be left on the lurch, except for Jenkins and other homosexualists, who are granted government and media favors and privileges.
Meanwhile, those who supported Lisa Miller and her daughter, in the face of threats and imprisonments, are not receiving any media support and have no powerful friend like the FBI to help them. Instead, their meager support comes from a few churches.
Mennonite churches affiliated with Rev. Kenneth Miller have created a website expressing "solidarity with Ken as he faces charges for choices and actions we believe were correct. By God's grace we would want to make the same choices he did. Our involvement with Lisa and Isabella Miller has stemmed from a desire to obey our Lord Jesus — both His commands and example".
This was the proper Christian response in the times of Nazi and Communist tyranny.
This is the proper Christian response in these times of PC, gay tyranny.

Cynthia Lee Wong, a Ph.D. student in composition, was selected to participate in "New Voices," an innovative collaborative project for emerging composers launched in 2012.
The panel of judges included conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and American composers John Adams, Steven Mackey, and Mason Bates. The year-long program provides one composer of the Americas the experience of the orchestral commissioning process. The three partners in "New Voices"— Boosey & Hawkes, the largest specialist classical music publishing company in the world, the New World Symphony (NWS), and the San Francisco Symphony (SFS)—will guide Wong through the process of being commissioned, composing, and having her new works performed, while providing resources and support from the publishing as well as the presenting sides.
The NWS has already scheduled performances of Wong's commissioned chamber work (Sunday, November 3, 2013) and symphony (Saturday, April 26, 2014). Both performances will take place at the New World Center in Miami Beach. The SFS performance dates have yet to be announced.
Wong, who has already enjoyed major international success, has studied with doctoral faculty members David Olan and David Del Tredici. "They are both fabulous!" she said, adding, "I look forward to a fantastically busy and creative year ahead."

Wittnauer Chronograph
Out of stock
One of the purest examples of American watchmaking from the 1950s, this Wittnauer Chronograph packs quite the punch. From its crisp, 35mm steel case to its pristine silver dial, the watch feels every bit the time capsule that it is. Its red and blue telemeter scale outboard the main dial adds a nice contrast and pop of color, which helps to give the watch a sportier edge that makes it far more versatile than it might otherwise be. Its pump pushers and oversized crown help the watch to wear even bigger than its nominal size might first suggest, making it a stellar option for those looking for a sporty, classic chronograph, but who might be concerned about the way a vintage watch will fit them. In the case of this Wittnauer, the answer is almost definitely "like a glove."
And of course, it comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and appraisal, 1 year warranty, and is shipped carefully and fully insured via UPS expedited service.
Maker: Wittnauer
Era: 1950's
Case Diameter: 35 millimeters
Lug Width: 18 millimeters
Case Material: Stainless steel
Case Condition: Great condition, unpolished. Crown is service replacement
Dial Condition: Great condition, small blemishes between the 7th and 8th hour markers
Movement: Manual Winding

Coronavirus (COVID-19) updates for UC San Diego Health patients and visitors. Learn More
Phase II is the maintenance phase of the UC San Diego Health Weight Management Program. As hard as it is to lose weight, it is even harder to keep it off. At our program, our primary focus and philosophy is not only long-term weight maintenance, but permanent health management. From day one, we emphasize the skills you will need to keep weight off, reduce your risk of chronic illness, improve your quality of life and of course, look your best. Even though you are likely to lose weight rapidly and safely during the first phase, our highly trained staff will continue to work with you during the more important second phase, where you will practice the skills and behaviors needed for long-term successful self management.
The analogy we like to use is that of learning to play a new sport or musical instrument. It doesn't happen overnight. You also need a good coach and most importantly, you need to practice your skills over and over for the behaviors to become second nature. You can lose significant weight with many weight-loss programs, but through the UC San Diego Weight Management Program we not only help you with your journey, we give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to continue successfully on your own.
During phase II, patients utilize the skills learned during their weight-loss period to plan and manage their eating and exercising. You will attend weekly classes that provide diet and exercise support and emphasize healthy lifestyle changes that lead to success in maintaining weight loss long-term. Weekly classes cover portion sizes, label reading, grocery shopping, eating out and more. In the Phase II program, we also offer individualized coaching and midweek support and encouragement through phone follow-up.

Despite violence, Pakistan vote shows democracy at work
- There have been some allegations of vote-rigging in Saturday%27s election
- Early returns show Sharif%27s party has taken lead in election marred by violence
- 29 people were killed Saturday in election-related attacks
KARACHI, Pakistan — Despite protests over vote-rigging Sunday, many heralded Pakistan's election as a historic democratic exercise in a country known for its military takeovers.
"It would be stupidity to have expected a 100% free and fair (election), but we are leaps and bounds ahead of what came before," said 30-year-old Hareem Sumbul, who worked at a Karachi polling station.
Although counting was still taking place, early returns Sunday showed that former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) had taken an overwhelming lead in a landmark election marred by violence Saturday, including a string of attacks that killed dozens.
Defying earlier estimates that he may have to form a coalition with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI), led by the charismatic former cricket star Imran Khan, Sharif — who declared victory Saturday evening — appears to have eked out enough of the vote to win outright.
Sharif, 63, has twice served as the country's leader but was toppled in a military coup in 1999. He spent years in exile before returning to the country in 2007.
While Sharif has tried to bill himself as the candidate of experience, Khan appealed to voters' desire for change and many praised the former sportsman for bringing out young voters and producing a 60% turnout, topping the 44% turnout of the previous election in 2008.
"As far as the elections are concerned, the good bit was the turnout and the PTI gets credit for that," Sumbul said.
With the PML-N and the PTI taking much of the vote, the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) looked set to suffer a huge defeat coming in third. Politicians in the party, which came to power in 2007 on a wave of sympathy after the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, have widely been accused of corruption.
Hasan Amir, the 49-year-old vice chancellor of the Khadim Ali Shah Bukhari Institute of Technology, said that despite some allegations of election irregularities, he did not think the vote had been rigged.
"It's the margins that he's won by that make that clear," he said. "Nawaz Sharif has worked hard in the last five years to deliver to the poor people. Imran has lost because he has not been able to connect to the average person."
At least 29 people were killed Saturday in attacks that included a bombing at the Awami National Party (ANP) in the port city of Karachi and an attack outside a polling station in the town of Sorab in the southwestern province of Baluchistan.
Despite more than 150 people being killed in the run-up to the election, people turned out to vote in droves in an effort to push for a democratic transition to a new government — the first in the country's 66-year history.
Simbal Khan, a Pakistan scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., and director of the Afghanistan and Central Asia at the Institute of Strategic Studies in Islamabad, said she's not surprised by the enthusiasm of young voters in the face of violent acts of terrorism.
"There is this whole energy that wasn't there before," Khan said. "What I am getting from a lot of young people is: 'We're here. We're not going to be intimidated by this.' "
Hasna Cheema, who works for a women's shelter in Lahore, said the election shifted voting dynamics in the country.
"Usually how people vote is, if your husband is voting for one party then I will vote for that party. Then you vote the clan you belong to, the tribe, your ethnicity," she said.
This time, though, she said people voted based on the issues.
While voters said they hoped for change, analysts said the violence and serious problems facing the country were unlikely to come to an end after the election.
"It is fantastic that Pakistan has managed for the first time (to) have achieved a democratic transition," said Siegried Wolf, a political scientist at the University of Heidelberg. "But if the fight against the Taliban is to be fought effectively, the government may not be able to focus on other important social and economic problems. There are many, including constant power cuts and unemployment, which could lead to violent protests over the long term."
While campaigning, Sharif said he planned to end Pakistan's involvement in the U.S.-led war on terror — leaving some with fears that it could allow militants a greater grip on parts of the troubled country.
However, Athar Hussain, director of the Asia Research Center at the London School of Economics, said Sharif would still be limited in his power in spite of the win.
"The Sharif government may have some problems with the army," he said. "The army will still remain one of the most powerful forces in Pakistan, so I think there are limits in how far the government can go against the wishes of the army. They just don't have the power to do so."
The prime minister will face other challenges apart from those related to terrorism, Hussain said, including youth unemployment and a downturn in the economy — something that could create uprisings and protests down the road.
"There is a problem of growing inequality, and I think that a combination of youth unemployment and growing inequality is potentially an explosive one," Hussain said.
Still, despite the issues ahead for Pakistan's new government and the violence surrounding the elections, voters said it was important they turned out to vote.
"If we didn't come out, this could've been the last elections (to be held)," said Danish Bhatti, 28, a banker in Karachi.

A Prepping Manual: Preparing for the Worst
*With the horrible tragedy transpiring this week along the East Coast in the wake of Storm of the Century Sandy, and reports of massive shortages of food, gasoline, and basic necessities, we thought it apropos to bring back AGXIIK's exhaustive prepping manual. Are you prepared for a collapse of the grid and the banking system, along with the just-in-time delivery system?
Prepping is partly buying a grocery list of items you need to stock, as well as a mind set that moves beyond the physical act of getting supplies in the cupboard. Stocking up is a great place to start. Stocking also buys you invaluable time to assess situations as they crop up while keeping you safe.
Preppers have a situational awareness of what might affect them in unexpected ways and unpredictable directions. Every plan comes unglued when it encounters the real world so having backups to your plan will smooth your way to safety.
Some of those are in this short guide. Without these plans the alternatives are always less than optimal.
Proceed gradually as you build in this mind set. It takes time, resources and commitment. It does not come naturally because to acknowledge that you are a prepper confronts the reality that things can go from comfortable to the opposite very quickly.

In her TLC show Sarah Palin's Alaska, the former GOP vice presidential nominee is seen opening cupboards in search of chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers, asking "Where are the s'mores ingredients?"Mike Huckabee, famously once quite fat and actually pretty fat again, opined:
"This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert," Palin said.
"With all due respect to my colleague and friend Sarah Palin, I think she's misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do... Michelle Obama's not trying to tell people what to eat or not trying to force the government's desires on people... She's stating the obvious, that we do have an obesity problem in this country."Well, he's not running for President against Michelle Obama. He's running (potentially) against Sarah Palin. Ironically, Sarah Palin is the one who's thin.
Now... is it true that Michelle Obama isn't "trying to tell people what to eat" and "not trying to force the government's desires on people"? Is it true that she's only "stating the obvious, that we do have an obesity problem in this country"? I don't know why Michelle Obama looks better if she's simply "stating the obvious" fact that there are a lot of fat people in this country. If it's so obvious, why point it out? And it's rude to do nothing more that point out that people are fat.
Here's Michelle Obama looming over some little boy as Barack Obama signs the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Looming large. You decide what's obvious. Or ask Huck, the arbiter of obvious. I just want to note that this bill seems to be about telling people what to eat and forcing the government's desires on people. (Forcing the government's desires on people? That sounds weirdly rape-y.)
But as the school-nutrition bill evolved, the first lady became involved in the sometimes messy world of legislative sausage-making to help push it through.This government that forces its desires on us pushes through with a messy sausage. Yikes. The imagery. Avert your eyes.
Anyway, what's in that bill? It's not about telling us what to eat? The linked article says it "will set national nutritional standards for public schools, boost funding for low-income meal programs and advance [Barack Obama's] wife's campaign against childhood obesity." And in those "national nutritional standards," do the kids get s'mores or not? I don't know, but I see that as Obama signed the bill, he said:
"Not only am I very proud of the bill... but had I not been able to get this passed, I would be sleeping on the couch."Is it cool for the President to pose as pussy-whipped?

Cuban said before Dallas' game against the Lakers Sunday he made it clear during a radio interview Friday that he was speaking hypothetically, and he was just trying to use an example to explain new restrictions in the labour agreement.
The Lakers called the remark inappropriate but didn't plan to pursue a complaint.
Cuban has cited the labour deal as a main reason for not bringing back key pieces of Dallas' 2011 championship team, most notably New York Knicks centre Tyson Chandler. He said the labour contract is difficult to explain and "it's not like we're getting any help from the league."
During a radio interview a day after the trading deadline last week, Cuban told a Dallas-area station that the Lakers and other teams over the salary cap were going to face some difficult roster decisions.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, will be looking for help for Dirk Nowitzki and are a primed for a run at a free-agent class that is likely to include Lakers centre Dwight Howard. He had Dallas on a short list of destinations when his future in Orlando got murky last year.
"If you look at their payroll, even if Dwight comes back, you've got to ask the question: Should they amnesty Kobe?" Cuban said in the radio interview. "You just don't know, right? It's the same reason I wouldn't get rid of Dirk, I'll take a hit for a season rather than get rid of Dirk.
"So I'm just saying that hypothetically. When I say amnesty Kobe, I don't think they'd do it, but they've got some choices to make. Now, they're in a big market, but they're still limited. The Knicks, the same thing. Boston, same thing."
Cuban said Sunday he wasn't alone in citing specific players.
"Whenever the commissioner or any other team talks about the CBA, they talk about Dallas and Tyson Chandler, or Dallas and Dirk and what's going to happen," Cuban said. "You've got to use examples. I was clear in saying it was hypothetical and I expected him to be in LA, but he was a good example because they have the highest payroll in the league."

Many professionals will be happy to know that Lightroom 3 finally comes with a powerful arbitrary-point curve adjustment. The previous region-based Highlights/Lights/Darks/Shadows curve is still the default, but click the point curve widget at the bottom right and you'll have a fully customizable curve:
Presets can be saved under the popup menu at the bottom right.
You'll notice that the familiar image sampler widget appears at the top left. This is the really nice thing about Lightroom 3's curves: you can mouse over areas in the image and see where the sampled point is on the curve and histogram underneath:
Click on the image and drag, and a new point will be created on the curve—very handy. Unfortunately, you will need that clicker since the curve box is really small and the grab widget is big for the space:
Aperture 3's solution to this problem was to create a zoomable curve, but only for the shadows. This zoom ability is badly needed in Lightroom, since the curve box is even smaller than it is in Aperture. This may sound like overkill, but the point of dealing with floating-point images is increased accuracy, so the tools need to change to access this added information. Otherwise, if you use the sampler points and your edit zone isn't really tight, the Lightroom 3 curves are a big improvement.
As another overdue feature for many professionals, tethering is finally built into Lightroom 3. Select Tethered Capture from the File menu and set up your shooting session parameters, and then you'll be set to snap some shots from the computer:
Shots taken appear in the window behind the floating display. I did some basic testing and it worked fine with my 40D, but only snapping shots is supported. As you can see in the pic above, camera settings are displayed but not editable from the interface. Tethering support is one of those things that varies heavily between cameras with all programs that support it, so I'm not very surprised by the limited functionality. The 40D isn't really a popular product photography/studio camera, and Aperture 3 doesn't even support capture for it. Capture One Pro 5.1.1 did fare a little better—I could change ISO as well as shoot, but there was no live preview support. If you plan on buying Lightroom 3 for the tethering features, be sure to check the compatibility notes, since there are some significant gotchas in there. A few that jumped out at me:
- 1D Mark II, 1Ds Mark II must be connected via Firewire for tethered support.
- 20D is not supported on Windows.
- Images do not save to the CF card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
- D200 is not supported on Windows.
- Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 are not officially supported for the D3x, D90, and D5000, but they still may work.
But like I said, this is par for the course with tethering. It's rare that support is awesome for anything but the most popular cameras, since it takes so much work to get working right on a per-camera basis.
Post Grain
Photographic imagery is not immune to trends, and over the last few years, things have been getting grittier and more organic in all facets of visual media. As the former art director for Vice Magazine and other fashion-oriented magazines, I've always preferred the grainy look of Terry Richardson or Juergen Teller's photography over the crispy-clean look of digital backs and flawless photography. Lightroom 3/Adobe Camera RAW 6 is responding to this desire for added grit and has added a Grain filter to the Effects panel:
Used with a vignette, with added contrast and hue shifts, it can add nice retro or film feel to an image:
As you can see from the three sliders, it's not loaded with options so it can't compete with popular Photoshop plug-ins like Alien Skin Exposure. The grain is strictly a luminance noise—better grain filters add subtle chroma noise to really make it feel like film. Lightroom 3's luma noise looks a bit murky up close:
True film-emulating filters can be slow, so this was probably a conscious decision to keep processing fast. I want to like this, but it's just too basic to get much love from me. If performance is the problem, maybe a GPU-based solution like the awesome Magic Bullet Photolooks could be considered:
Apple's solution for 3rd-party filters like this is to flatten images to 16-bit for plug-ins, and I've complained about this before—it's not a good solution since it's lossy. Anyway, I'm probably giving this too much attention for most people, but pretty much everything I do for print goes through one of these film filters. I know a lot of photographers who do the same, and Bibble Pro now includes a set of film-emulation color filters in version 5.1. This is one for the Adobe "needs work" pile.
Export additions
Aside from the added watermarking options, Lightroom 3 adds multi-image print layouts, slideshows with music, and official support for Flickr export. The lack of Facebook support makes me think that it's an exclusive deal between Adobe and Yahoo! It makes sense though—Flickr is much better for showing off high-quality imagery than Facebook is. Either way, you can still grab the Facebook exporter here.

I recently had a conversation with a friend (who may or may not be a blog colleague), and he mentioned how much he appreciated "If you liked…" recommendations when it comes to albums. This got me thinking. I've already run down the Top 10 College Basketball Games of the Aughts, and I didn't want to repeat myself in talking about them again. So why not use that list as a springboard for this one—ten games that are like the Top 10 but not quite the Top 10.
And if you like this list, we recommend reading the rest of the College Basketball Preview Palooza.

Oil rose, diverging from most other riskier assets, as Israel launched a major offensive on Gaza
Brent crude held steady above $109 a barrel on Thursday as Israeli strikes against the Gaza Strip renewed worries about supply disruption, while a weak global economic outlook kept gains in check.
Oil rose, diverging from most other riskier assets, as Israel launched a major offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza and also announced there was more to come. But gains were capped as the United States and Europe grappled with their financial woes, pushing Asian shares and base metals lower.
"The overall economy is weak, but prices are biased to rise because geopolitical risks are going up," said Tony Nunan, a risk manager at Mitsubishi Corp. "That's going to be the story for the rest of the year - a weak economic outlook, but higher prices because of supply worries."
Brent crude gained 15 cents to $109.76 a barrel by 0514 GMT after settling $1.35 higher on Wednesday. US oil edged up 2 cents to $86.34, after ending 94 cents up.
"The threat of escalating Middle East tensions boosted the geopolitical risk premium in the market, supporting both crude markets," analysts at ANZ said in a note.
"Given the contrasting influences of weak demand prospects versus potential supply disruption concerns we think Brent and WTI could trend sideways for the rest of the week in volatile trading, unless we see more attacks in the Middle East."
The market is also keeping an eye on the negotiations in the United States over tax increases.
Investors are worried that a package of tax increases and spending cuts mandated to come into force next year if a deal is not agreed - the so-called "fiscal cliff" - will pitch the world's biggest economy and top oil consumer back into recession.
In Europe, policymakers are still trying to tackle the region's debt crisis. The euro zone likely slipped into its second recession since 2009 in the July-September period, as the three-year debt crisis slowed economic growth in Germany to a crawl.
"The economic news is not going to be good for now," Nunan said. "The US fiscal cliff and Europe are two main issues. And till the time there is more clarity, we will see risk assets under pressure."
Supply fears, coming as the oil market enters a peak seasonal demand period, and a weak consumption outlook will keep Brent swinging between $108 and $112 a barrel till the end of the year, Mitsubishi's Nunan said.
Carl Larry at Atlas Commodities brokerage in Houston expects oil prices to trade around $92 into the end of the year and Brent at $113.
Commenting on the overnight Israeli offensive, he said while the action has raised some fears in the market, "it is not enough to say we are headed back to $100".
According to 24-hour technical charts, Brent is expected to rise more to $111.65 per barrel, while a rebound target at $87.91 per barrel remains unchanged for US oil, Reuters market analyst Wang Tao said.
Data due later in the day from the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA) on US crude and product stockpiles will provide more direction to prices.
US crude oil inventories rose last week, while fuel stockpiles on the East Coast dropped sharply as the region struggled to restore operations battered by Superstorm Sandy, data from the American Petroleum Institute showed.
Total US crude oil stockpiles showed a build of 1.3 million barrels in the week to Nov. 9, short of forecasts for a 1.9 million barrel build, the API data showed. East Coast distillate stockpiles fell by more than 2 million barrels, while gasoline inventories declined by more than 1.2 million barrels.

Discipline Checklist: Refusals
When students refuse to attempt an assignment, successful teachers usually begin by offering several forms of assistance, continue by offering various forms of reinforcement, and, if necessary, end up reviewing expectations and consequences
If the student refuses to accept any consequences, you should consider the situation extremely serious. Contact the parents and or principal for their support in dealing with the child's defiance. Consider using some of the strategies from the following range of suggestions:
Start by offering to help the student. Try these options:
- Sit with the student, show a caring attitude, and do a few problems together.
- Remind the student of a previous similar assignment that he or she completed successfully.
- Talk with the student about the assignment to help him or her find some motivation or inspiration.
- Ask if the student understands the assignment.
- Suggest that the student skip the first problem and pick another for getting started.
Look for possible reasons the student might be having trouble, and respond appropriately.
- If the work refusal problem is recent, call the parents to ask if they know what could be upsetting their child at school.
- In the case of a possible learning disability, modify the assignment.
Offer encouragement and positive reinforcement for efforts made.
- Express verbal approval for any sign of beginning the assignment, even if the student just picks up the pencil.
- Communicate high expectations of work effort. Say something like, "Rule #1 in this classroom is that everyone must participate. That's 100 percent. Can't or won't is a bad word we just don't use. At least try first, and if you need help, I'll be there.'
Give the student several choices, letting him or her know that there will be consequences for not participating in the activity.
- "You can work now during class time, or work during lunchtime or after school, or go to the detention room and do the work."
- If the problem persists, ask the student if you should make a "hot call" to the parents asking them to, for example, take away weekend privileges and activities.
When students refuse to work, initiate a sequence of responses that move from positive reinforcement to warning about consequences. Be sure to follow through.

OVERLAND PARK, KS — A typical club gets about 350 visitors a day, according to industry statistics. That's as many as 700 hands touching the front desk, lockers, equipment, the drinking fountain, handrails and both sides of the front door. That's a lot of places for germs to land and spread.
Forty percent of 600 health club members polled in 2007 said they were concerned about the spread of germs at their health club, according to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association's (IHRSA) "Guide to Health Club Cleanliness." Fifty-six percent of those polled expected their club to be germ free.
Germ free may be hard to live up to, but with recent publicity about the H1N1 virus, more club operators are focusing on offering clean facilities.
Nic DeCaire, owner of Fusion Fitness Center, Newark, DE, has made cleanliness a priority at his club since he opened five years ago. He posts signs about wiping down equipment and provides bottles of hand sanitizers and paper towel dispensers with bottles of cleaners. His staff also wipes down equipment every few hours.
Mike Gardner, sales manager at Naperville, IL-based 2XL Corp., which makes GymWipes products, says that club owners should take H1N1 seriously because they must be concerned about liability if an outbreak is traced back to them. In addition, staying ahead of the virus and keeping a healthy membership base can offer marketing opportunities.
"Members tell their friends that their club is the neat and clean one rather than the alternative around the corner that is bare bones and doesn't invest in club cleanliness," Gardner says. "A clean club retains members, period."
Mike Hanes, marketing director at Gojo Industries Inc., Akron, OH, also says interest in cleaning products is high. Gojo makes Purell hand sanitizer along with shampoos, shower products, hand washing soaps and hand wipes. He wouldn't share specifics on sales, but he says that the company has never seen a sales period like it has had since April 2009.
"Anytime headlines are being grabbed by this kind of a microbe, germ or infection, there's going to be an immediate question in the mind of operators about how to respond," Hanes says.
Club operators can decide to ignore it, or they can get out in front of it, he says.
Members' expectations of their club are higher now than 10 years ago, Hanes says.
"Health clubs are centers of wellness," he says. "They have a role to play in arming members with information and tools to be able to fight against those things."
Bruce Sherman, president of GymValet, Beachwood, OH, says interest has increased in his company's products, which include the GymValet system, towels, sanitizing solution, spray bottles, trigger sprayers, dilution containers for mixing cleaning solutions and complete Purell systems. However, the recession has made operators hesitant to invest in more cleaning products.
"I just don't think it's reached critical mass where people are seeing their members get sick," he says. "I don't think it's sent people over the edge."
Despite that, Sherman says that his sales in 2009 were "nicely above" 2008 sales.
Gardner agrees that the recession has affected business.
"The recession is still hitting all of us, and the club owners, like any business owners, are watching their pennies," Gardner says. "H1N1 has helped offset the recession-caused decline rather than cause a major increase."
Club owners spend about 2.9 percent of their revenue on housekeeping, according to the IHRSA report, which also found that the more money club operators spend on cleaning, the higher their retention and revenue growth becomes.
Sherman says that he wishes club operators would do more to protect their members.
"What I find is that members are generally more interested in and longing for better cleaning solutions than many club operators are willing to put out," he says. Some club operators won't put out sprays or wipes for members because they say it implies the club is not clean, Sherman says, but a club's cleaning staff can't clean each piece of equipment after each use, so that can lead to questions about how clean the equipment is.
Some equipment manufacturers are getting into the clean act. Life Fitness now offers two products, Pure Green 24 and GymWipes, that it recommends to clean its products, according to Samantha Wade, brand manager.
"In the era of H1N1, the gym members are more concerned about spread of virus and bacteria, and we wanted to be able to offer this to gym operators to offer that clean and safe environment to gym members," Wade says.
Testing by the engineering department at Life Fitness showed that these two products did not damage Life Fitness equipment as neither have bleach or alcohol in them, two chemicals that can take off finishes, affect colors and make plastic brittle, Wade says.
Life Fitness recommends that a club's cleaning crew use the Pure Green 24 product and that clubs set out the GymWipes for members to wipe equipment.
"There's a psychological benefit to offering an opportunity to members to wipe down," Wade says. "They just feel like the gym and the equipment are cleaner. That goes a long way."

St Brides Haven is a pretty little rocky cove flanked on its northern side by a low building known as Cliff Cottages, a dwelling so close to the sea that it seems in imminent danger of being swept away by stormy waves. Indeed, there was an ancient fishermen's chapel right on the cliff edge which was said to have been swept away and early 6th-10th century stone coffins have emerged from the crumbling cliffs, exposed by continuing erosion.
The narrow road from the west peters out by the beach and there is just about enough space for a few cars by the church gate, a few yards from the shore.
The beach is a pleasant place to swim and for the children to paddle and explore the rock pools, but it is small and is more a launching place for small boats. Local people used to go out from here on summer evenings to fish for mackerel off Stack Rock and Nab Head. When they returned there was usually a small crowd of visitors ready to help take samples of their catch home for supper.
Presiding over the scene is the noble pile of Kensington Castle, once a family seat of the Barons Kensington, whose name is perpetuated in several streets in London where they owned a large slice of prime property.
Kensington Court, Edwardes Square, Philbeach Gardens, Pembroke Mews and other names with Pembrokeshire connections are to be found in the labyrinth of interwoven streets in their domain in fashionable Kensington.
The Edwardes family left Pembrokeshire in the 1920s and Kensington Castle was turned into an isolation hospital for TB patients in 1923. The buildings later became a hospital for geriatric patients and in 1990-92 were converted into a smart and beautifully located time-share holiday apartment complex with a magnificent panoramic view north and west across St Brides Bay.
The castle was built in 1833 by Charles Philipps of Picton Castle, near Haverfordwest, and was enlarged between 1905 and 1913 when the Kensington family lived there.
Alongside the long entrance drive is the ruined shell of a much older mansion known as The Abbey, but with no known monastic connection. It is believed to have possibly been the home of John de St Bride, a powerful supporter of Henry V11, and part of it seems to suggest it was a medieval first-floor hall house. It has the remains of two walled gardens, the walls with ornate, corbelled and embattled parapets.
The church of St Bridget by the shore was restored in 1869 and contains some interesting architectural features including 18th and 19th century memorials to members of the Philipps family and, in the walled churchyard, a set of Celtic memorials to Kensington family members.
Less than a mile west on Nab Head is an Iron Age promontory fort, which, when excavated in 1971, revealed a circular stone hut with a single entrance and hearth, and nearby signs of a Mesolithic flint-knapping floor.

Sources tell NBC News that state prosecutors have prepared charges against Graham Spanier, Penn State's former longtime president, as well as more charges for two ex-school officials who have already been indicted. They are accused of lying to a grand jury and trying to cover up the sex-abuse scandal involving convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky. NBC's Michael Isikoff reports.
Updated at 2:20 p.m. ET: Pennsylvania state prosecutors, citing what they called "a conspiracy of silence," on Thursday charged Graham Spanier, the former president of Penn State University, with perjury, obstruction of justice and endangering the welfare of children abused by the school's former defensive coordinator, convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky.
The prosecutors also brought new felony charges against two former top Penn State officials -- Tim Curley, the ex-athletic director, and Gary Schultz, an ex-Penn State vice president who oversaw the campus police. Both men had been previously charged in the case and they, along with Spanier, have publicly insisted on their innocence.
"This case is about three powerful men who held high positions -- three men who used their positions to conceal and cover up for years the activities of a known child predator," state Attorney General Linda Kelly said at a news conference in Harrisburg. "This was not a mistake, an oversight or a misjudgment.
"This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials at Penn State, working to actively conceal the truth, with total disregard to the suffering of children," Kelly said.
"Graham Spanier has commited no crime and looks forward to the opportunity to clear his good name and well earned national reputation for integrity," Spanier's lawyers said in a statement. "This presentment is a politically motivated frame-up of an innocent man. And if these charges ever come to trial, we will prove it."
"To be clear, Tim Curley is innocent of all charges.
We are carefully reviewing the presentment and will reserve a more comprehensive comment for a later time," Curley's lawyer said in a statement.
They also blamed the charges against their client on Pennsylvania's Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, saying that Kelly – whom he appointed – had brought the case against Spanier to divert attention from the fact that when Corbett was attorney general, he had failed to bring criminal charges against Sandusky in 2009 – an issue that Democrats have criticized him for. Kelly on Thursday adamantly denied that politics played any role in the case.
The new charges come nearly one year after Sandusky was arrested and charged with repeatedly abusing young boys dating back to 1998, setting off one of the biggest scandals in the history of college sports. Sandusky, the longtime deputy to the school's late legendary football coach, Joe Paterno, was convicted on 45 counts of child sex abuse last June and was sentenced last month to 30 to 60 years in state prison.
Full coverage of the Sandusky trial
Spanier, 64, a professional sociologist and family therapist, served for 16 years as president of Penn State, one of the largest public universities in the country, where he was a popular figure on campus and an active booster of the school's football program. He was fired last year, after Sandusky's arrest, and is now facing eight criminal charges, including five felonies, each of which carry a potential prison term of seven years.
The charges laid out in a new 39-page grand jury presentment are based in part on evidence uncovered in a report last summer by former FBI director Louis Freeh. But the grand jury report also provide new details-- in part culled from previously undisclosed grand jury testimony and documents -- of how Spanier, Schultz and Curley allegedly deceived investigators and hid key information from other university officials, including the chief of the campus police and, in Spanier's case, from the Penn State Board of Trustees.
The grand jury report also provides new details about the trail of an incriminating "Sandusky file" that was kept in a file drawer in Schultz's office -- documenting a 1998 police investigation of Sandusky "with very detailed information" about Sandusky's contact with a young boy in the Penn State shower and a later 2001 allegation about Sandusky abusing another young boy in the Penn State shower.
This and other material was not turned over to prosecutors despite grand jury subpoenas for all documents relating to the defensive coordinator between 2010 and April 2012. In all, 22 boxes of Sandusky documents, photographs and other materials were not initially turned over in response to the subpoeanas and, as a result, the investigation into Sandusky was "signficantly thwarted and frustrated," the grand jury report states.
According to the new grand jury report, the Sandusky file was removed from Schultz's office by his administrative assistant last year and delivered to his home on Nov. 5, 2011, the same day the then-Penn State vice president was first charged in the case. A previous assistant testified she was given an "unusual request" by Schultz to never "look in" the Sandusky file and that the request was delivered in a "tone of voice" she had never heard him use before.
The new grand jury report states that the emails and other documents show that Spanier, Curley and Schultz at first agreed to report to child welfare authorities a 2001 allegation by former graduate assistant Mike McQueary that he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a young boy in the Penn State shower. One indication of how serious they took it was found in documents showing that Schultz sought legal advice from Penn State's outside lawyer, Wendell Courtney, who billed the school for a "Conference with G Schultz re reporting of suspected child abuse."
But Curley later changed his mind "after talking it over with Joe" -- a reference to the late coach Joe Paterno. (At the news conference, Kelly declined to speculate on whether Paterno would have been charged in the case had he been alive.) They then developed a new plan to encourage Sandusky to seek professional help. "This approach is acceptable to me," Spanier wrote in a Feb. 27, 2001, email to Curley and Schultz.
Spanier added: "The only downside for us if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it. But that can be assessed down the road. The approach you outline and a reasonable way to proceed."
According to the new grand jury report, Spanier initially told investigators in March 2011 that he knew nothing about the 1998 police probe of Sandusky (despite emails showing he was briefed on the investigation) and was given only sketchy information about the 2001 allegation, believing that involved only a contention of Sandusky "horse playing around" with a child. And he later made similar comments before a grand jury, including testifying that there was "no discussion" about reporting the 2001 incident to child welfare or police -- part of the basis for the perjury charge against him.
The report says that Spanier never told the Penn State trustees about either the 1998 or 2001 allegations. When he did brief the board in May 2011 -- after a newspaper story first disclosed the investigation into Sandusky -- Spanier directed the university's chief lawyer, Cynthia Baldwin, to leave the room and then "specifically informed the Board that the investigation had nothing to do with Penn State and that the investigation was regarding a child in Clinton County [Pennsylvania] without affiliation with Penn State," the grand jury report states.

Not to say that I'm jaded by all things military but having grown up on Air Force Bases around the country (and a few outside the country) and hearing an F-4 fighter jet coming to a screeching halt on the air field a mile or so away just meant that Dad would be home for dinner to me. So I've seen a lot of impressive military sights in my time. But I was pretty darn impressed today when I had just dropped Lexie off at her pre-school and I was heading to an appointment when I saw this....
a Trident nuclear powered submarine heading out of town.
And no they didn't turn around and head back to City Hall.
I got caught up in the excitement of it's leave taking and followed it a little ways. Here it is going right towards an apartment building I sold a year ago - cool!
Then all of a sudden one of the follow boats started to catch up to the sub so I knew something was up.
Sure enough a Washington State Ferry was heading right towards them.
I mean really. No one at the base thought to check the Ferry schedule?
I'll bet the morning commuters where surprised to look out and see the sub so incredibly close.
Blessings to the crew who are heading out to parts unknown and specially prayers to the families that will be waiting & hoping to see this sub come back home safe and sound.
Then after Lexie's piano lessons I pulled out of the teacher's drive way to this sight....
a family of deer quietly munching on dinner. Then I turned a couple of corners and this was the view out my window. Simply breathtaking.
Lexie and I are so blessed to live in such a beautiful, special part of the world.
(Aren't you amazed - I think this is the first time I've posted without a picture of Lexie:-)

It is often an exciting event when it comes to purchasing a new home. First off you will need to decide on what suburb/area you would like to live in. Consider how important locality to schools, transport and general amenities are. How much accommodation would you like your property to offer. Do you require a large yard for children to play or desire vehicles of street.
With investment properties it more comes down to purchasing a in an area with the best capital growth and a steady rental return as the earnings will make holding the property more affordable.
Different types of residential property can outperform each other over time. For example vacant land purchased in an area of limited supply may appreciate quickly however doesn't offer any income in the mean while. Or investing in an apartment may offer a fantastic rental yield and mean less maintenance costs in comparison to a free standing home. It is important to note that properties in some young areas which are still being established offer great rental returns however may take longer for the investor to benefit from great capital growth opportunities.

Jason approached the sale of my house with 100% confidence and professionalism. I appreciated he took the time at the beginning of the process to explain his selling philosophy and he communicated well throughout the period of sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Jason and Empire to anyone wanting to sell a house in Perth.
Talks a big game and can back it up. Linton did a beyond amazing job!
So we have been looking for a while and kept bumping into Linton at various home opens. He was always straight forward, honest and completely in tune with us. Linton recommended the house - not overly but saying I think this is the kind of thing you're looking for. House was exactly what we were after. Service brilliant during sale and after sale. So much so he turned up yesterday to help us figure something out in the house. Brilliant - totally recommend Linton. Great guy, straight forward and honest.
Harley's market knowledge of competitive homes in the area was beneficial to myself. He was willing to have Home Opens on a weekly basis and open to private viewings, if a customer could not make home opens. Harley communicated regularly and we discussed all home opens and how he perceived things were going regarding interest in the sale of my home.
Great guy personally and professionally. Knows the market inside and out and is a bulldog that works very hard day and night to find that buyer. Would highly recommend Linton as your agent..
A seamless and professional property management service! Dealing with a relocation, we did not have to worry about the stress that comes with leasing our property. Empire Property took ownership of the entire process from the start, leaving us to worry about more important matters like moving! We would totally recommend Empire Property Solutions for your property management needs. 5 -star service!
Linton provided outstanding service, backed by a fantastic energetic enthusiasm, which proved key in generating an above market price cash offer on the first weekend of home open! Absolutely Brilliant.
I found Empire Property Solutions to be professional and easy to deal with. They found tenants for our property in a matter of days, even though there were many other properties for rent in the area. I would highly recommend the property management team from Empire Property Solutions.
Thank you Harley for your efficient & professional manner during this sale. After every inspection, Harley would ring & give me a detailed report on who had visited the property & the level of interest that it had. He would follow-up with potential buyers & extra private viewings.I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to sell your property.
We use the Empire Property Management team for two of our investment properties and have always been very impressed with their professional service, pro-active thinking and attention to detail. I'd have no hesitation using them for more investment properties in the future or recommending them to family and friends.
Thanks for the excellent efforts!
I would highly recommend Linton for his real estate services. Linton made the purchase of our new home simple and transparent. This has been by far the easiest transaction I have executed to date. Furthermore his vast knowledge of the area and market helped us immensely. Thanks Linton.
I recently dealt with Linton Allen from Empire as the purchaser for a property in Fremantle. He was very professional to deal with and most importantly as an agent he did everything that a seller would want. He agreed to show me through the property at short notice, rather than usher to the weekend home open. He answered my calls and returned my messages promptly. He kept me updated at all stages through the negotiation phase and he was honest and straight forward through all of this process. Linton is a professional agent and was a pleasure to deal with.
We use the property management team at Empire for all of our rentals. They are brilliant at getting applicants, performing regular inspections and dealing promptly with any repairs. I'm always kept informed of what's happening and never have to get involved too heavily as the team take care of everything. I would highly recommend Empire Property Solutions property management team.

Selling a house , wether it is your own or for your parents ( which is our case) can be a very stressful , exciting even daunting time. There is a lot to consider: The right Price , The right Real estate agent , the right time. Of course we are always told to get two appraisals. We found Linton Allens flyer in Mums letterbox. So Linton was my first one. The family had chosen the second one .We made appointments and listened to both. Linton was first. I would have signed on the day ! BUT had to at least hear what the other agents had to say. My family told me to go with who I was the most comfortable with and I knew in my heart it was Linton Allen. His Professional approach, his down to earth attitude, this friendliness, his knowledge of the area, his realistic prices. I felt so comfortable with Linton I knew I had made the right decision for my family . I explained to Linton that mum had just been accepted into a nursing home and we were on a time limit to sell. Linton got straight on the phone and started organising Photographers , lawn mowing contacts etc etc .. We had it up to scratch in a week and first home open 11 couples through ! Linton went over and above to contact anyone that may be interested. Lintons feed back and communication was excellent. Second home open 6 couples through .... 3 rd weekend home open SOLD !!!! We were over the moon. 3 weeks we couldn't believe it ! We feel so blessed that Linton was there every step of the way making everything easy for us. His calming influence was great when we were stressing ( for no reason ) Linton , on behalf of my mum Betty , my dad Lomi ( who was watching down on us every step of the way ) my Brother , Sister and myself I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this happen so quickly. You really did give 100% and we will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone selling a property that wants GREAT service. You truly are the BEST ! Thank you Linton for everything Gwenda Townsend
I was so happy with Linton and the wonderful job he did with the quickest sale of a house I've ever seen.. Selling my house was a big put off to me because I thought it would take months to sell. Linton had one home open for 45 min on a Sunday and it was sold. I couldn't believe it. Linton was very helpful with telling me the things I needed to do and prepare for the selling of my house, he always stayed in contact with me about everything. I would recommend Linton to everyone. He is a true champ and I am a very happy client. Thanks once again Linton on the awesome work you did selling my house.
Linton recently sold the family home of 45 years for Mum, she moved into a retirement village. He was extremely sensitive to her emotional attachment to the home, was patient and took the time to make sure she understood the sale process. A successful outcome, we do not hesitate to recommend Linton's services, a kind and considerate professional. Thanks again Linton, Kim Parsons
Linton was extremely patient and reliable in making sure we got maximum benefits in the current market. He also made sure were well looked after and would always recommend him.
Linton has extensive market knowledge, is a hard worker, very professional and best of all in this game - is a straight shooter!
Linton ensured the process was efficient, easy and successful for us. His professionalism and knowledge of the market was second to none and his passion to assist shines through his work. It was great to have Linton in our corner, an agent who personally checks on and is aware of every aspect of your sale. Linton also is a very genuine person and surprisingly for a Real Estate Agent has a great sense of humour! It comes as no shock why Linton is one of the most sought after and trusted agents in the wider Fremantle region. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again.
Linton from the start made us feel confident we would sell our house and he did not let us down. It was a real pleasure working for him and his knowledge of the industry was second to none. Would happily refer him on to potential sellers.
Thank you so much for coming to our assistance when our previous real estate agent was not getting the results that we desired. Again, you guzzumped him, got us $70k more than had been previously offered, and truly represented the property in its proper light, and emphasized it's appeal. Your expertise, youthful vigor, and results-oriented efforts managed to get us a price that we could live with, and we were happy to sell the property and move on.
Linton also looked after us with buying and selling. Couldn't speak highly enough of him. Very professional and achieved an excellent price for my Mum's property.
A big shout out and thank you to Linton Allen our real estate agent who is a very talented, professional and reliable agent who has managed to sell our house extremely quickly. Also a big thanks to Harley Van Der Wielen who is also an awesome real estate agent. Great work boys. I highly recommend Linton and Harley if you need your hosue sold. Sad to say goodbye to our lovely house but excited for what the future holds.

Your guest bedroom ought to be the absolute most neutral space in your residence.

For a very long time I didn't know Brade's log in information. It's not because he didn't trust me, or thought that I'd delete his characters out of spite if I got angry with him, it was because Brade felt that his characters were an extention of him. They are characters that he created and developed and that have his personality. In essence, they are a pixelated form of who Brade is on the other side of the screen and he wanted to maintain that.
Even today I do not "play" Brade. I may assist with the guild bank and managing the auctions, but I don't actively play any of his characters. Of course, there will be times when he is AFK and I might reply to someone via him…and that someone might get a screenie of "Brade" declaring that he's going to go and get wasted on Peachbellinis *ahem*, but generally speaking I don't communicate via Brade. Brade is Brade. Brade is not Beru.
This is something that I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. I frequently find myself wondering who the people that I play with on a regular basis are. Are they the same in game as they are out of game? Are they the same? Are they different? Are the braver? More shy?
Well, what about me? I try very hard to be the same person that I am out of game in game. My morals are very much still in tact and I try very hard to be "myself". However, I think that I tend to be a little bit braver in game than I am out of game. I am assertive both in and out of game, but I think I'm a little more quietly assertive outside of game. In game I frequently take the lead when I see that nobody else has, and I'm not entirely certain that is a behaviour that I would exhibit outside. It's not that I couldn't, it's more that I'm happy to let someone else. That being said, I do step up when it's required of me.
In life I tend to keep mostly to myself. I mean, I'm chatty and I can glad hand with the best of them, but I don't always feel like "me". I'm quirky, odd, different. And while I'm OK with that, not everyone else is. So I tend to sort of shell myself outside to be more the person people expect me to be, while still retaining who I am…just not quite as loud. However when it's just Brade and myself, I am completely comfortable. I will wear my pink tennies if I want. I wear pigtails, even at my age, because I like them. And if I coordinate both of us in our matching "for the horde" shirts, I giggle and think it's good fun. Why? Because I like pink tennies and pigtails and quirky Tees. It's who I am.
I hate social settings. I don't do parties. I don't do night clubs or bars. I'd much rather spend a night curled up with a good book, a glass of wine, and a snuggling puppy than go out and chat with people that have absolutely nothing in common with me. Even when I do go out I have a meter for how long I can keep up my social graces before my "are we done yet" whine starts to kick in. I like being able to do what I want, when I want. I have no problems entering a sit down restraunt with a good book, boldly looking the hostess in the eye and saying "just one" and daring her to give me a look of pity. I just think I much prefer solitude to fake companionship.
And a little bit, I see this in how I play the game. I perfer to solo quest than to group. If I want to play and just be left alone, I do just that. Sometimes I just observe guild chat and never contribute. I think this is a little bit akin to people watching (another of my favourite past times). Sometimes I'm feeling silly and bold and you can't shut me up…although some people might wish they could! Sometimes people get me fired up and I'll openly give my opinion. Sometimes my mouth to brain filter malfunctions and I say things that I shouldn't say outloud.
But, whatever I am, it is truly me. I don't pretend to be someone else when I'm in game. My emotions in game are very real. They are the same emotions that I feel outside of it. I may feel emboldend and do say things that I may not have the courage to say and do outside of game…until you know me well, but I am still very much myself. If you met me outside of the game, I'd probably be very shy at first, but once you got me out of my shell you wouldn't be able to shut me up. Just ask my guildmates from Blizzcon!
But I don't think that anyone would be surprised about how I behaved once they met me, I would be the same Beru that they've known for years…just with less fur. Much like Brade, I feel that my characters are an extension of who I am. Sure they are simply pixelated images on my screen, but they are controlled by the very real person behind them. And when I want people to think about me, either the flesh and blood version or the pixelated version, I want them to think about the same person.
So who am I? I'm the same voice that you hear when I blog. I'm the same person that you've been playing WoW with for five years. I'm the same person that you've meet or who has helped you or hollered at you or become frustrated with you. I am me. Regardless of the medium that you've met me, I am the same. And I like that.
What about you? Who are you? Do you find yourself being someone different in game than you are out of game? Do you see many of your characteristics transfer mediums?

Samuel Anderson has no problem being called Mr. Pink. The Doctor Who newbie debuts in the Aug. 30 episode as Coal Hill School math teacher Danny Pink — a nice guy with a possibly not-so-nice background whom Clara (Jenna Coleman) starts dating. But he's much more than just the companion's companion.
After Clara is no longer able to keep her extracurricular activities with the Doctor a secret from Danny, he ends up traversing space and time with the TARDIS crew, joining the illustrious ranks of the Doctor's male companions, which include Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill).
Not that the Doctor is thrilled. "He wants to make sure Clara is always taken care of," star Peter Capaldi says. "And he's not really sure that Danny's the right person to be doing that because of his past."
But how often does Clara listen to the Doctor? "Danny's so lovable," says Coleman. "He's so laid-back. He's a good counterpart to her uptight, control-freak nature. He brings her back to earth, literally and theoretically."
The 32-year-old Anderson, who starred on Broadway and in London in the Tony-winning play History Boys, had no idea the part extended beyond a single episode. "I thought, 'That's great; that's easy money for me,'" he says. "I'm the specialist at one-off roles."
Anderson found out the truth from Coleman. The pair had already starred together on the U.K. soap Emmerdale (he played a cop, and she was the woman accused of killing one of his colleagues). "I texted Jenna when I got the job, and she texted back, 'A-A-A-A-A-ugh, this is big,'" the actor says. "And I didn't really know what she meant. Then she wrote, 'I'll call you in five minutes.' And when she called, I heard just a big scream and 'You're in the whole story!'"
Doctor Who airs Saturdays at 9/8c on BBC America.
