*Rant, sorry.
I hate it when people say tie downs are garbage in the horse world.
Fuck, anything is garbage if you use it the wrong way! Go tell Sherry Cervi she doesn't know what she's doing because she uses a tie down on her horse. I mean, the woman only has two fucking world championships under her belt!!! So she obviously doesn't know what she's doing.
My last barrel horse and my current barrel horse wear tie downs, but I know how to put them on a horse. I'm not that big of a fucking idiot. They work better with a tie down, and don't go bashing barrel racers when english people use standing martingails (sp?) which is the exact same thing.
And my buddie, wait no. A shit load of my buddies who train barrel horses for a living use tie downs, but then again what would Lance know he's only an AQHA world champion barrel racer. Silly me.
Sorry everyone, just have to put my feelings out there.

Doggie-Dependence Debate
Are people crazy to admit they need their dogs?

You will get no argument from me about the theraputic effects of dog and how they can help unstable people. But there absolutely has to be some behavioral standards that all "service dogs" need to meet. At a bare bones minimum, something like the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test is needed. We have boarded "service dogs" at our kennel that we could not get near.

Travel can be a lonely business. New sights, new sounds, new tastes, even new language and cultural norms– you can be surrounded by it all, yet feel extremely isolated at the same time. Even if you have a friend along for the ride, being in a strange new place can make you feel all sorts of alone. Subtract that friend from the equation, and you've got lonely to the second power.
When I decided to go down to Central America alone, a majority of the responses was "Why?" Some thought I was crazy, some thought I was a silly girl who couldn't take care of herself, some were worried I'd have trouble making friends. I was most apt to agree with the latter sentiment.
I've always considered myself a relatively social person…in preexisting conditions. That is, when I'm around old friends I can be a social butterfly– making bad jokes and laughing the loudest at myself. But in new places, filled with new people, it's like the first day of kindergarten all over again. I get shy and nervous and oddly sweaty. I'm six-years-old again, and it's no fun.
Those who thought I was traveling by myself to prove a point, they were right too. I wanted to grow up. I didn't want to turn into a six-year-old in new social situations. I wanted to learn how to talk to people, to learn their stories. After all, how else could I become a good journalist.
So when my fellow travelers and I parted ways a month in, I found myself nervous but also excited. Excited at the prospect of making it, just me, myself and I. Because the first step to curing loneliness on the wanderlust trail is to be OK with being alone.
It started with a day hike in the Monteverde cloud forest in Costa Rica. I walked the hills from Santa Elena town to the Biological Reserve at Monteverde. For several hours, I was alone in the world. Just some rambling passersby, my thoughts and the occasional cow to keep me company.
In day to day life, we can pass hours by ourselves– surfing the web, zoning out in front of the television, even exiling ourselves to the three snug walls of our cubicles. But none of those hours bring us closer to ourselves. There are distractions at every turn, especially when a little human contact is only a text or tweet away. But when you travel by yourself, those banal distractions vanish. There is no longer a cell phone to check every five minutes for the latest Facebook status update or Twitter feed or Pinterest pingback or whatever other technological jargon is passing for human speak these days. All you have for entertainment is time and how you choose to spend it.
For me that meant actually seeing the land– observing rather than passing by, hurried and distracted. Being by myself meant I saw things I normally might have ignored.
That first day, I began the process of getting to know myself. Not the self I project when nervous, or sleepy in the grocery store, or trying to impress a group of new people. Just me. Because if I could become friends with that girl, I could make friends with anyone.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Sept. 2 (HealthDay News) -- A boy's relationship with
his mother changes as he grows up and the way it changes can affect
his behavior when he's a teen, a new study says.
It included 265 mother-son pairs from low-income families in
Pittsburgh who were followed from when the son was 5 years old
through adolescence. The researchers assessed the level of conflict
and warmth between the mothers and sons and other aspects of their
lives, including the son's temperament and behavior, the mother's
relationship with her romantic partner, and the quality of the
mother's parenting.
Mothers of sons who had a difficult temperament as toddlers said
their relationship with their son included a lot of conflict and
lower levels of closeness over time. The study also found that
mothers who had good relationships with their romantic partner
tended to form closer bonds with their sons that endured throughout
childhood and adolescence.
Boy who had lots of conflict with their mothers were more likely
to engage in delinquent behavior as teens, while boys who had a
close relationship with their mothers were more likely to have a
good relationship with their best friends when they became
The study appears in the journal
Child Development.
"These results suggest that successfully adapting to the transitions of childhood and adolescence may require parents and children to maintain relatively high levels of closeness and minimize conflict in their relationships," lead author Christopher Trentacosta, an assistant professor of psychology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich., said in a journal news release.
"The findings also have implications for prevention and intervention," he added. "Family-focused programs should address conflict in the parent-child relationship if the goal is to reduce delinquent behavior, and should foster greater closeness between parents and children if improving peer relationships is the goal."

emotions and behavior.

I bought this 6-drawer dresser one month ago, and I was very pleased with the assembly, delivery, and appearance...BUT...the inside of the drawers have stained all of my clothes! I had white and light colored clothing in the drawers for only this short time, and I noticed a couple of days ago that there is yellow stain from the bottom and sides of drawers rubbing off on all of my clothes! I have to wash all of my clothing now, and just hope that the furniture stain comes out...if not, then I guess this dresser was not worth the sacrifice of my entire wardrobe.Please be warned to use drawer liners before putting anything into these drawers!!!! Please do not make the same mistake that I did! If you are not willing to line the entire set of drawers (sides and bottom) then I would not recommend this dresser for you. I can only assume that the whole set of this Aristo furniture would be the same way.
My girlfriend and I saw this set of furniture on Overstock at separate times, independent of each other. When I sent her the link to ask her opinion she had already seen it and was already thinking of buying. I took the plunge first ordering the 6-drawer chest, 5 drawer lingerie and a nightstand (limited room for two night stands). The reviews were all very good so I was pretty confident that I would like it when it arrived. i was not disappointed. The items came in a total of 5 boxes, about a week after I ordered them. I knew I did good when I saw how heavy the boxes were. I opened the first box (the nightstand) and was impressed with what I saw. The pieces were very well packed to minimize movement, and individually wrapped in soft foam to protect the finishes. The finish and feel was fantastic, having a nice dark, warm tone to it. My girlfriend and I put it together, and the first thing I wanna say is powertools ;-). With all the screws using a drill or power screwdriver will make things go much faster, unless of course you want your wrist/arm to get a work out. The instructions were pretty clear , and once we had all the parts laid out it was simple to follow. Didn't run into any problems with screw holes not matching, as everything fit together well. As someone who has put together my fair share of furniture I was pretty impressed with that. It did take us close to three hours to put together, but thats cause we were taking our time (and did make one mistake). Once we had it put together we were both impressed with the finished product. Very stable and solid feeling, with good weight behind it. We were both very happy with the look, and were looking forward to assembling the other two pieces. Those two went faster (about 2 hours each) since we already had some practice in with the nightstand. Same good quality as the first piece, and they look great. In these larger pieces we noticed some areas where edges didn't quite line up or fit exactly, but very minor and hard to notice unless you know its there. One of the drawer fronts had a small scratch, but Overstock is already working on sending the replacement, so it all good. So, to conclude, we both like the set very much, to the point that she has ordered 4 pieces for her place and I ordered another night stand and 4 drawer chest. It's great quality and you can't go wrong with the price. Don't be put off with the assembly - once you put together one piece you'll the other pieces will go much faster, as the layout and technique is the same for all. A couple of items to note for assembly: 1) use power tools if available, 2) layout and organize the pieces (there will be lots of them), 3) checkout the position and layout of the drawer rails (that was our first mistake) 4) easy with the screws, as the heads do strip, especially if using a power tool.
Bought this chest, the 4 drawer dresser and the night stand after looking around town for something less expensive. My concern was putting it together after reading the other reviews. It took a couple of hours each for the two big pieces. It was simple if you follow the instructions. I love it!. I painted my walls a deep tangerine and this furniture looks wonderful in the room.Heavy REAL WOOD. All the drilled holes were percise making all the drawers line up perfectly. I wish I had room for another piece. With the shipping price as low as it was, it was well worth putting it together. I sit back looking at it all and can hardly believe I did it myself! I will take the tips about lining the drawers. Thanks!
Great piece of furniture. Came in 2 large boxes. Instructions were easy to follow, yet could have been more clear in a few areas. However, if you take your time, this piece is easy to put together. I did it by myself and it took about 3.5 to 4 hours. Well worth it. It's sturdy and looks great. Everything fit together perfectly. The drawers are all lined up well, etc. Sometimes this doesn't occur with mailed furniture that requires home assembly. I would definitely recommend this dresser, especially at this price point. Great value. It really looks great.
This chest of drawers is heavy after it is put together. All pieces were there and no damaged pieces. I chose it because of the space under the top to put a dvd player. Just under the flat screen tv on the wall right over the chest. I also ordered the matching night stands that are a great size to fit in a smaller room with a king bed.
I love this! I even purchased the matching night stands. Well built made of real wood.
We own four other Aristo pieces and are very satisfied with the bedroom suite of products. Lengthy install but absolutely worth it!
This chest is extra heavy and great quality for the price. It comes very well packed and in many pieces but instructions are well written and parts well labeled, we bought two.
It arrived on time in two separate boxes both in good shape from shipping no damage pieces my wife and I pulled out all parts separated everything and started assembly we are not pros s I it took us 4 hours but instructions were clear and all pieces were marked clearly I would also recommend a cordless screw driver while assembling it will help once together we were both impressed on how beautiful it looked and would recommend this dresser to others..
I love the idea of this dresser/cabinet and my daughter (teenager) fell in love with it as soon as I showed it to her. She needed one and the bonus of being able to put her TV and DVD player on it saved space. We just moved and her room is smaller than the one before. I was excited about getting it, then it arrived. I had to get my husband to carry it inside, both boxes were heavy. It took part of a day to make sure everything was in good shape and then put together. I did it by myself and didn't have any issues. Just took awhile but I wasn't in a massive hurry. I read one of the other reviews and added contact paper to the inside of the drawer so no clothes were harmed (thank you for that comment, btw). It looks wonderful in place and only time will tell who it'll hold up. It's very sturdy though and I don't see any issues� only when we move and have to carry the thing out of the house. I just won't focus on that part yet.

San Buenaventura State Beach
Buenaventura Trail
From Marina Park to the Ventura Pier is 4 miles round trip
When you walk San Buenaventura State Beach, you realize that this park didn't simply happen, it was designed—obviously during the state park system's pre-poverty era. Instead of the grungy tables stuck in the sand found at many beaches, San Buenaventura features wide, green picnic areas. It boasts volleyball nets, a fitness trail and even a pier.
The state beach offers plenty of room for all the popular beach activities: swimming, surfing, cycling, fishing and picnicking. It's one of Ventura County's safest spots for a swim because the sand slopes very gradually into the ocean.
Although San Buenaventura's sands are easily accessible (Harbor Boulevard extends along its inland border), the low sand dunes fringing the state beach give it a feeling of isolation from freeway traffic and sounds of the nearby city.
This San Buenaventura stroll begins at Marina Park, a family-friendly enclave perched just up-coast of Ventura Harbor's west channel. A little sandy beach, grassy hillocks and wooden windbreaks encourage spreading out the beach blanket and relaxing awhile. Children enjoy playing on the sand-locked, two-masted San Salvador, a boat load of fun, with plenty of places to climb.
Directions to trailhead: From Highway 101 in Ventura, exit on Seaward Avenue. Head briefly coastward and turn left (south) on Pierpoint Boulevard. Drive 0.7 mile to the boulevard's end and Marina Park.
The hike: From Marina Park, walk out to the end of the jetty, observe the many boats entering and leaving Ventura Harbor, then head up-coast. You can look across the harbor channel at an inviting sand strand, the southernmost segment of San Buenaventura State Beach.
The first mile of beach is fairly narrow and stabilized by a series of rock groins extending offshore. Houses line this length of shore. The second mile of beach, which sweeps toward Pierpont Bay and the Ventura Pier, is wider.
Stairs lead from the sand up to the Ventura Pier. The original pier was built way back in 1872. Today's recreational pier has a restaurant and a gift shop. Stroll past the anglers and enjoy great views of the coast and islands, as well Ventura and its mountain backdrop.
If you want to extend your outing, promenade Promenade Park, which begins near the foot of the pier. You can continue to the Ventura County Fairgrounds or even the Ventura River.

Below is a guest/reader review of Revlon Age Defying Botafirm Foundation for dry skin.
The best foundation I have found for dry skin and for my mature skin is Revlon Age Defying Foundation with Botafirm for dry skin. As a bonus, it also has a 15 SPF sunscreen to help to keep skin from looking aged. This is the only foundation I have found that I can use all year even in the extremely dry desert conditions that I am now living in.
I've found that this foundation does exactly what it claims it will do. It appears to help diminish fine lines and the beginning of wrinkles. I'm not sure exactly what Botafirm is but it does work really well for me. I have light to medium skin tone so I like to use the Natural Beige color, number 06, for most of the year. In summer however, I choose just a shade or so darker and switch to number 09 which is called Cool Beige. Once my arms and neck tan, I don't want to be using a foundation that is too much lighter than any bit of color I've gotten from the sun because I feel that it wouldn't look right.
With this foundation it isn't necessary to switch the way I do, but I like switching shades according to how tan I've become during the summer. I use sunscreen, but naturally from living in the desert I do get some color even with the use of sunscreen. Changing foundation colors makes sense when you live in a climate that is very hot and sunny. When I lived in the Midwest I used just one color foundation all year.
After using a very good moisturizer on my face I apply Revlon Age Defying Foundation by putting dots on my cheeks, forehead, chin and nose and blend it using my fingertips. I'm sure a sponge or applicator could also be used, but this is the way I do it and it works well for me. I've used this foundation for years now and absolutely love it.
My skin tends to be on the sensitive side most of the time but I have never had any problems using this foundation. It seems to be gentle enough to use even on somewhat sensitive skin. I have never experienced any kind of burning, redness or any other signs of sensitivity.
I think Revlon Age Defying Foundation makes my face look younger and I get compliments all the time on how I couldn't possibly be the age I am. I feel like I owe some of that to choosing a great foundation. Foundation is so important in makeup application that I would never go without it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSAU) - A federal elected official has weighed in on the state's conflict with a Stevens Point business. 3rd District Congressman Ron Kind has made it clear he is concerned about Wisconsin's award of a single source student information software contract to Minnesota based Infinite Campus over Stevens Point based Skyward. "I've wanted to weigh in. I've had conversations with (State Superintendent) Tony Evers as well as DOA (Department of Administration) to make sure that as they go through this appeal process, that it's on the level, that it is factualy and objectively based, and that they also take into consideration something I think they may have missed in the first go-around, and that is the implementation cost of switching to a new outside vendor."
Skyward filed an official appeal and protest February 15th, claiming the scoring process did not evaluate the vendors properly.
Kind is one of the elected officials that questions why Wisconsin would choose a single vendor for such a costly and long term contract. "Why are we not exploring a multi-vendor situation in Wisconsin, and allow the school districts to make the determination? They're the ones that are facing spending cuts. They're the ones that have to stretch the dollars. They can make logical decisions working with the board and the community leaders to determine what is in their best interest."
Wisconsin passed Act 32 two years ago which removed language allowing government procurement agents to give preference to Wisconsin-based suppliers. Kind believes it's a mistake to not have the option of supporting state and local businesses when the cost difference is less than the damage to the Wisconsin economy. "When we're trying to think creatively of how we can attract and retain good businesses that can create jobs, and good paying jobs on top of that, there should be certain advantages for those companies that were either grown in Wisconsin or located in Wisconsin so that there's an incentive to bring even more business to our state."
The state legislation urging Wisconsin to get away from single vendor contracts was authored by State Senator Julie Lassa, and has support from Republicans and Democrats.
The Department of Administration and the Department of Public Instruction have not yet ruled on Skyward's appeal and protest.

When you have anxiety or depression, exercise often seems like the last thing you want to do. But once you get motivated, exercise can make a big difference.
Exercise helps prevent and improve a number of health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. Research on anxiety, depression and exercise shows that the psychological and physical benefits of exercise can also help reduce anxiety and improve mood.
The links between anxiety, depression and exercise aren't entirely clear — but working out can definitely help you relax and make you feel better. Exercise may also help keep anxiety and depression from coming back once you're feeling better.
Exercise probably helps ease depression in a number of ways, which may include:
Exercise has many psychological and emotional benefits too. It can help you:
The word "exercise" may make you think of running laps around the gym. But exercise includes a wide range of activities that boost your activity level to help you feel better. Certainly running, lifting weights, playing basketball and other fitness activities that get your heart pumping can help. But so can gardening, washing your car, or strolling around the block and other less intense activities. Anything that gets you off the couch and moving is exercise that can help improve your mood.
You don't have to do all your exercise at once either. Broaden how you think of exercise and find ways to fit activity into your routine. Add small amounts of physical activity throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park a little farther away from your work to fit in a short walk. Or, if you live close to your job, consider biking to work.

Traditional with Modern Color Twist
We kept the cream and white background of these invitations, but had deep plum text, and plum and fuschia swirls. It was fun that it had our wedding colors, and yet practical enough that everyone could read it. We received lots of compliments from guests both young and old.Reviewed by CaFe

Perfect, excellent quality, they thought of everything
After picking out the design and personalizing everything, I ordered 225 invitations. The next day, I got a call saying that their team had reviewed it and that they thought the background of the RSVP card would be too dark for guests' names to show. I hadn't even thought of that! After switching some colors and reviewing the new proof, everything came in quickly and beautifully packaged. They even included a small booklet to help me get started on programs.Reviewed by Kate09

Beautiful, easy invites!
These invites are beautiful and so easy! The customization turned out exactly as I'd hoped. Replaced the white on the front and the light blue on the inside with Navy blue. Switched the lace pattern to champagne and ivory and made the small light blue stripe on the front ivory. All the beauty of a pocket invite without the hours of assembly. The paper was high quality and we have received a ton of compliments on how nice they are.Reviewed by Christie141

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - Wausau is preparing to enact a public intoxication ordinance to help address some problems in city parks and other public places. Last week, City Council members discussed how extreme drunkenness has brought some bad behavior into Wausau's public places that should be family friendly.
The Public Health and Safety Committee is forwarding an ordinance recommending fines for people who are visibly intoxicated or incapacitated and also creating a public nuisance to be fined $150 dollars plus court fees. Those fines jump to $300 for subsequent offenses.
The City Council already gave police officers the authority to ban repeat offenders from public parks. Judges can also now set bond conditions for offenders to further prevent repeat problems.
The ordinance will be voted on by the full Wausau City Council next month.

Shafir has proved that anyone faced with adverse conditions will consistently make bad economic decisions. An experiment he conducted with Mullainathan and Zhao placed financially-savvy Princeton students from prominent families under the stressful and rushed conditions that poor people face every day. They were given questions to answer in a series of timed rounds, but were permitted to "borrow" time from a subsequent round.
"My students at Princeton are well-to-do and intelligent," Shafir says. "They are the sons and daughters of senators and other highly successful people. And yet these brilliant students took precisely 10 minutes to start borrowing too much; they were tending to the present without any thought to leaving something for the future.
"Given enough time, a person will consider the future cautiously. He won't engage in nonsense and won't borrow at high interest he can't afford. But if you put him under strict deadlines and pressure him, he'll start behaving foolishly. We all put off for tomorrow things that need to be done today, and pay high interest because we didn't pay on time. All the mistakes poor people make with money we make with time - but for them the price is too high. A person probably doesn't seem intelligent when he doesn't have enough time to consider the future, but if he did have enough time he would start acting intelligently. Poverty is an emotional state."
The symbol of American success often involves having the biggest house possible, but our outsized fantasies seem to be shifting. According to a new survey, more than three quarters of us consider having sidewalks and places to take a walk one of our top priorities when deciding where to live. Six in 10 people also said they would sacrifice a bigger house to live in a neighborhood that featured a mix of houses, stores, and businesses within an easy walk.
I consider the "Tea Party Movement" to be one of the most brilliant sociological ploys. Perhaps unmatched since a million poor white southern farmers were talked into eagerly and courageously fighting to the death, in order to protect the feudal privileges of a tiny, slave-holding aristocracy. Yes, it is that impressive. Get them to think they are fighting for one thing, while dying for something else. Likewise, by holding up and waving an obsolete and irrelevant old "left-right political-axis," today's feudal lords have managed to stir Red America into a frenzy of unparalleled rancor toward every single group or profession that has both knowledge and professional skill — from scientists to teachers, civil servants, academics, medical doctors, attorneys, diplomats, skilled labor… amounting to a "war on smartypants." David Brin ☀
There is a vast body of literature drawn from sociology and psychology that debunks the rational, self-interest theory of human behaviour. Economists ignore this research because they rather think they know more about the human mind than any of branch of the social sciences. Government deficits are the norm ☀
Between one-third and one-half of all American marriages are interfaith;
Roughly one-third of Americans have switched religions at some point in their lives;
Young people are more opposed to abortion than their parents but more accepting of gay marriage;
Even fervently religious Americans believe that people in other faiths can get to heaven;
Religious Americans are better neighbors than secular Americans—more generous with their time and treasure, even for secular causes—but the explanation has less to do with faith than with communities of faith;
Jews are the most broadly popular religious group in America today.
The idea that young people take a decade to grow up, in the meantime inhabiting a space called "young adulthood," is rather new in American culture. A bit older is the idea of "adolescence," the idea that there is a stage between childhood and (young) adulthood that is characterized by immaturity and capriciousness: the teenage years. Before these ideas were invented, children were expected to take on adult roles as soon as they were able, apprenticing their parents and transitioning to adulthood with puberty. Shifts in ideas about life stages is a wonderful example of the social constructedness of age.

Knoppix 7.0 Released
Knoppix v7.0, 32- and 64-bit versions, with ADRIANE v1.4 and cellphone support.
Klaus Knopper has released version 7.0 of Knoppix. According to the website, this release is based on "the usual picks from Debian stable (Squeeze) and testing (Wheezy), with newer package versions especially for desktop applications." It uses kernel 3.2.4 and xorg 7.6 (core 184.108.40.2061). The new version also includes experimental free Nouveau graphics modules supporting NVidia cards, accelerated graphics via kernel mode settings (KMS); LibreOffice 3.4.5; Chromium 16.0.912.77 and Firefox/Iceweasel 10.0; and an optional 64-bit kernel via boot option "knoppix64," supporting systems with more than 4GB of RAM.
Version 7.0 also includes ADRIANE version 1.4 of the audio desktop framework, which now uses CuneiForm as the engine for text recognition of scanned texts and includes enhanced support for several cellphone models via Gammu (SMS function). ADRIANE (Audio Desktop Reference Implementation And Networking Environment) is a talking menu system, which, according to the website, can make Internet access easier for computer beginners, even if they have no sight contact to the computer's monitor. A graphical environment with talking programs and arbitrary magnification using compiz-fusion is another option.

You pyonged "The Notorious B.I.G. – What You Want"Publish Note No Thanks

I'm sticking ice picks on the tip of your dick
Give your testicles a swift kick, ain't that some shit
I'm hard, hardcore
Harder than the Plymouth
It ain't no myth, it's a nigga with a spliff
And a chrome four-fifth, pressed on your back
So what you want, nigga
How you wanna act
I hope civilized, cause I love to see niggas die
Brains all leaking out on the street
And the pastors preaching, he was a good man
Played the bad man when the burner was in his hand
Now he singing sad songs with Elvis
Three to the head, about six cross the pelvis
You fuck with the high guy you die
Yeah the same motherfucker thinking look up in the sky
I'm on some Old Neck shit, Suplex shit, hardcore sex shit and Tec shit
What you want nigga
What you want nigga
[Verse 2]
A repetitive loop, all I need destroy soloist or group
I put it to you, boy, oh you got the scoop
Biggie Smalls the rap genius
I keep the Glock by the penis
The cleanest cut
Fuck sluts with the big humongous butts
I use a rubber but my style is gushy
Like a hooker's pussy
And it don't take a lot of backtalk to push me
Into flaming them like that little nigga Damien
Glock 19 to my motherfucking cranium
Game tight gun toting motherfucker
Niggas in the grave thought Biggie was a sucker
I tricked them, I gave them work then I sticked them
I stripped them because niggas don't watch the friction
Told you before how I bring the drama
Slam Larry Johnson and his grandma-ma, what you want nigga
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Lucky Lefty and the Commission
Bow down by now you fuckers

Uptown bullies, Brooklyn Biggie

Behold the flyest, Bentley drivers
Louis Vuitton buyers, jet fuel abusers
Sipping Petrus, once-upon-a-time-in-America music
You based on us, you fiction
Your eights don't bust
You're a constant contradiction
Ladies, please use contraception
Deception is at an all time high
When sexing, use protection
You fuckers should've never been born
Should've never been signed
How the fuck you got on
How the fuck you got Shawn
I'm too advanced, the Lance Armstrong of the dance
Rubber band man before TI was
King of New York like BI- was
BK all day, it's in my blood
You wanna see my mask and gloves

Reds 34 Lions 20
On the rampage ... James Slipper. Photo: AFP
QUADE COOPER made a triumphant return at Suncorp Stadium last night by helping the Queensland Reds to an impressive victory against the Lions.
The Reds opened up a 13-6 half-time lead and went on with the job in the second stanza to record a 14-point victory, keeping them within striking distance of the Australian conference-leading Brumbies, who they face next Saturday at Canberra Stadium in what is likely to be a season-defining encounter for both sides.

''We are definitely confident in our ability and the way that we have been tracking, and the Brumbies have been going well all season so it's going to be a red-hot game,'' Cooper said. His reconstructed right knee gave him no problems and he was quickly able to show the razzle-dazzle which the Reds fed off for last year's title.
The Lions defied their last-place status to start the better of the two sides – controlling possession for the first quarter-hour and jumping out to a 6-0 lead through two Elton Jantjies penalty goals.
But five-eighth Cooper sparked the Queensland engine with a jinking run which laid the platform for the only try of the half to boom breakaway Liam Gill.

Goal-kicking centre Mike Harris then slotted two penalties for a seven-point half-time advantage.
Queensland could have been further in front at the break but Harris botched a try when he spilt a Cooper pass only five metres from the line, and then James Horwill was held up on the stroke of half-time.
While Cooper created most excitement and halves partner Will Genia was again a standout, gun 18-year-old three-quarter Chris F'Sautia enjoyed a debut to remember off the bench. Playing on the wing, F'Sautia made a line break with his second touch, off-loaded to Genia and then backed up to score.
It was the second Reds' try in five minutes as the 14-man Lions were punished for second-rower Franco van der Merwe's yellow card for a cynical foul on the goal-line when they trailed 13-6. Queensland immediately took advantage with hooker Saia Faingaa diving over from a clinical driving maul off Rob Simmons's lineout win. Genia scored the Reds' fourth try in the 55th minute when he sprinted 60 metres from a turnover which Jake Schatz quickly pounced on but, from there, the Lions showed heart with two late tries.
The Reds finished the match with an injury cloud hovering over utility back Ben Lucas, who was replaced with a groin injury only three minutes after he took over at five-eighth from Cooper.
Reds coach Ewen McKenzie said the rash of second-half changes – with Gill, Faingaa and skipper Horwill all replaced – contributed to a limp finish after they acquired the attacking bonus point. ''We're not going to pretend we're happy with the last 20 minutes,'' McKenzie said. ''It was a frustrating experience. I'll guarantee that we'll be on song next week.''
Despite a 10th successive loss, Lions coach John Mitchell admired the intensity his side brought to the match.
QUEENSLAND REDS 34 (Saia Faingaa, Chris Feauai-Sautia, Will Genia, Liam Gill tries Michael Harris 4 cons 2 pens) bt LIONS 20 (Martin Bezuidenhout, Jaco Kriel tries Elton Jantjies 2 cons 2 pens) at Suncorp Stadium. Referee: Keith Brown. Crowd: 31,118.

Task Force commemorates World AIDS Day
Inga Sarda-Sorensen
Director of Communications
(Office) 646.358.1463
(Cell) 202.641.5592
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force commemorates World AIDS Day with a call for greater focus — including resources and public attention — toward combating the continuing epidemic of HIV/AIDS.
Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"We mark yet another World AIDS Day with a call for greater focus on combating this bitter epidemic, now in its third decade. We do this because it matters — the lives of all those affected matter, including the hardest hit among us: our gay and bisexual brothers, our transgender sisters, our young people, and communities of color, particularly black men and women. We do it because we still have no cure, and our nation still awaits more resources and less ignorance. We do it because today is not just a day to commemorate; it is a call to action — a call for resources to fund prevention, treatment, research and ancillary services. Our political leaders, faith communities — each of us — must recommit to working to end this disease once and for all. We thank and honor those who have dedicated their lives to this effort. We mourn those we have lost to this epidemic. We vow to keep pushing until HIV/AIDS is no more."
The Task Force urges Congress and Obama administration to act now
The Task Force is urging Congress and the Obama administration to address current needs for HIV/AIDS treatment and services. This includes increased funding for the Ryan White CARE Act, including the AIDS Drug Assistance Program; greater support for screening and prevention efforts, including routine HIV screening as part of the Affordable Care Act Essential Benefits Package; passage of the "Repeal Existing Policies that Encourage and Allow Legal HIV Discrimination Act"; and the defunding of medically inaccurate and discriminatory abstinence-only-until-marriage programs to be replaced with funding for comprehensive, age-appropriate sex-education programs.
National survey shows transgender people at alarming risk of HIV infection
Earlier this year, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality released the groundbreaking study, Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey. It is the first large-scale national study of discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people, and paints a more complete picture than any prior research to date.
The study showed that transgender people are four times more likely than the general population to be HIV-positive. Respondents reporting even higher rates included the unemployed and those who had been compelled to do sex work for income.
One in four black transgender people reported being HIV-positive, along with one in 10 Latino/as, 7 percent of American Indians and 4 percent of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.
These numbers are startling but not surprising given data collected around rates of discrimination in medical care, sexual assault and employment discrimination: one in five transgender people have been refused medical treatment simply because of their gender identity/expression, and one in four have faced harassment or violence in a medical setting.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Action Fund builds the grassroots political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The Task Force Action Fund does this through direct and grassroots lobbying to defeat anti-LGBT ballot initiatives and legislation, and works to pass pro-LGBT legislation and other progressive initiatives. The Task Force Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation incorporated in New York. Contributions to the Task Force Action Fund are not tax-deductible.
