"Dear Doormat:posted by zarq at 8:47 AM on August 15, 2012 [45 favorites]
Please take the following steps, in order:
1. Stop being a doormat.
2. Get a lawyer."
1610s, from L. hystericus "of the womb," from Gk. hysterikos "of the womb, suffering in the womb," from hystera "womb" (see uterus). Originally defined as a neurotic condition peculiar to women and thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus. Meaning "very funny" (by 1939) is from the notion of uncontrollable fits of laughter. Related: Hysterically. citeposted by cjorgensen at 11:52 AM on August 15, 2012
Lexica:I made the mistake of telling a frightened sixteen year old "Sorry. You probably didn't see me coming," in order to let her know I wasn't mad at her for turning in front of me and causing a collision. Her mother arrived and tried to turn that into a confession of guilt - without telling us. I had assumed we were all on the same page - it was pretty much physically impossible for this to have been my fault - bet as soon as the police arrived an hour later her first words were, "It's his fault!" and then accused me of changing the story when I protested.
"The first part is changing, in some jurisdictions — saying "I'm sorry" is not considered a confession of guilt (unless the person goes on to say something like "I totally didn't see you" or "it was all my fault")."
No. That would be unreasonable.posted by Drastic at 3:40 PM on August 15, 2012 [9 favorites]
schmod: There have been a few threads where, in my opinion, a pile-on ends up adding an unfair/unnecessary male-negative tone to the discussion.This. I completely agree with OP's premise that this place does seem to have a strong anti-male stance- or to put it another way, a fierce wind blowing against even hinting that somewhere, any man might actually suffer or not have a perfect "privileged" life because of his testicles. If you were foolish enough to suggest that, you'd be shouted down by a cadre of MeFites accusing you of "making it all about men", "mansplaining", etc, and whose script clearly states that all women suffer impossibly, and all men are triumphant and living high on the hog because patriarchy, oh and also, poverty, and income inequality, and also enforced gender roles in third world countries that none of us have ever even visited.
Unless there are some very glaring comments that were deleted, this was not one of those threads, and I don't think that it's an overwhelming problem on Metafilter. I've only seen it happen once or twice here.
Green with you: Honest disagreement is not gaslighting.I completely agree. Not agreeing: most everyone who uses the term "gaslighting", as if any honest disagreement or attempt at nuancing is a conspiracy to silence women's voices.
the young rope-rider: To see you throw that back in their face like you're being persecuted is so classically you. Always the victim, no matter what. Shine on, dude. Shine on.So you're saying I wear the mantle of victimhood? Teapot, kettle.
Sidhedevil: I want to know where men are living that they see that "the pendulum has swung too far" because as a woman, I'd love to spend some time there.Honestly? Seattle, the Capitol Hill neighborhood (historically gay-friendly and youthful), and working at companies like Microsoft that take sexual harassment very seriously and are populated by people far less likely to engage in bro-ish behavior, and who avoided the testosterone-steeped upbringing that apparently affected these unnamed men perpetrating evils on the world.
Underscoring this point is the fact that there is something that calls itself a Men's Rights Movement, but it consists of nothing but knee-jerk anti-feminism. It is made up primarily of angry, alienated men who have fully bought into the myths of hegemonic masculinity and gender roles, and not found the success and happiness that the myths implicitly promised. Since feminism is the only movement around that is attempting to dismantle those myths, they conclude that feminism is the cause of their unhappiness. If not for those meddling feminists, things would be okay. They would argue that this is a mischaracterization, but a thorough examination of their arguments reveals that this is, in fact, their sole intellectual basis. Any analysis of any issue that does not begin and end by blaming feminists, or preferably all women, is immediately discarded. Thus, lacking the social analysis tools feminists pioneered, they can accomplish nothing but surly misogyny and occasional outbreaks of violence. The authors of this book spent quite some time attempting to find MRAs who could be engaged in a constructive manner, but eventually gave up. If men's rights are to be addressed on any kind of serious level, it will have to be by feminism.posted by Forktine at 8:53 PM on August 15, 2012 [20 favorites]
KathrynT: My husband and I, between us, have a combined twenty-plus years at Microsoft, and I have witnessed appallingly, appallingly sexist behavior there. From the interviewer who asked if I was getting married soon, because (as he told me straight up to my face) he didn't want to have someone who was going to leave to have children, to the GPM who kept (yes, more than once) hiring strippers for the ship parties, it just really is laughable to me that this is the example of the place where the pendulum has swung too far.Huh, see I haven't seen that stuff there. At tech companies I've been at, they have "How to interview" training, where they explicitly tell you not to ask things about age, or family life, or children, etc which could be troublesome if you say "no hire". Keep it professional and focused on demonstrable skills and past work related to the job, etc. Isn't... that a good thing? Which divisions where you in that these things were being done- and what did you say or do to stop it or call it out? I have never seen a place at Microsoft where someone would hire strippers for a ship party- jesus, everyone knows that'd get you fucking fired. Honestly, you're basically telling me something that sounds like science fiction!
grouse: I have to wonder what the makeup of Microsoft would be like in a world hincandenza would think was fair? Maybe split the meager gains women have made there in half—drop from one-quarter to one-eighth female employees, and maybe make the sole female senior executive work part-time?Yeah, really scary, because that's totally what I said! Jesus christ, why can't you be more like Kattullus and try to engage someone in good faith? I appreciated and liked that comment, because for starters it assumed I was a human being, who isn't a sociopath or a monster, and is probably not anti-woman. I know, crazy huh?
Scary indeed.
The (500) Days of Summer attitude of "He wants you so bad" seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she'll give his life meaning because he doesn't care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That's not healthy. That's falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person.And in the thread, currently the top response is a guy reacting to that and saying he's been acting that way, and he now gets that he should stop. So normally, that would be a great thing to link to, right. The Problem is male behavior - here is a guy explaining male behavior in a way that clearly has had an effect on guys who are exhibiting what is basically a form of creepy behavior. And it is propelled by the media. I was alluding to things like that in the thread, linking videos and scripts, which is standard Metafilter behavior, but it was not well received at all. My thought process is the same thing - the problem is male behavior, I recognize some of the influences that lead people to have these warped and creepy conceptions of how to be, I can point that out and then I or anyone else who reads it can essentially see right through a creepy person's personality and call it what it is, hopefully reaching current creeps and creeps in the making/choosing. I never shouted down any women, I never said women's experiences were invalid or that it was their fault or anything like that at all. But in some of these threads this pretty typically fine metafilter behavior is causing a problem.
But I have seen moderators make decisions (mostly involving comment deletions) based on their own personal values and perceived values of the community. I dunno, maybe y'all need to make decisions like that to keep the piece. It's your job, not mine, I ain't gonna tell you how to do it.How else is any mod, not just here, going to make decisions other than on "their own personal values and perceived values of the community"? Other than banning straight up spammers, there will always be a subjective element involved.
Another thing that strikes me as weird is how the mods here will weigh in on topical/opinionated discussions. I don't think it's weird or bad or unkosher or anything, but if I ran a site like this, I'd probably try to avoid it. Whether you like it or not, when a mod says something, it always carries extra weight. Especially when the mods are as visible as they are here.It strikes me as one of the things that make this place great, that the mods in general behave just like other users and carry their modness lightly, so to speak. I never get the impression that a cortex or a taz or whoever speak as mods in any discussion, except when they're acting within their remit. For me, the difference between when they're speaking in their official capacity and when they're just shooting the breeze like the rest of us has always been clear.
Men are more conservative in facial movement and body contact. However, they do tend to be unreserved in sitting styles: sprawling, stretching and spreading out. The intensity level for women drops for the sitting position -- they tend to draw in, keeping arms and legs close to their bodies....The goal for men, however, depends upon the task. Want to appear in charge? Use the body to control the discussion space.
Men take up space, lots of space. They're taught to spread arms and legs all over the place, make wide gestures, power through crowds. They're taught to expect everyone to get out of their way and be affronted when that doesn't happen.
One way to indicate acceptance of one's place and deference to those of superior status is to follow the rules of "personal space." Sommer has observed that dominant animals and human beings have a larger envelope of inviolability surrounding them -- i.e., they are approached less closely -- than those of lower status.18 Various authors have subsequently shown that this rule applies between men and women, with women both having smaller personal space than men and tending to yield space to men when the two sexes come into proximity.19 And women's time, like their space, can be invaded readily.I don't have time to search up more links, but gendered communication also takes in the use of the body in space and the messages it tends to send. There's also an underlying confidence, which might arise from the widely mutually supported sense of group dominance we call "privilege," that the person taking up excess space is entitled to take up that space.
Oh I "close up" as soon as anyone needs or is near the space I'm in. I never recline my chair on a flight, because I know how annoying and painful it is for the person (like me) behind you. It never even gets to the "be polite" point because I just withstand the pain and "close up" almost immediately.You are not the problem. Your behavior does not match the behavior that's being criticized. You are, if anything, being so considerate of the people around you that it's causing problems for you.
Awkwardly-large (in whatever dimension) people who are aware of others around them are obviously aware of others around them. There's an enormous difference between a dude who's taking up a seat and a half because he thinks he's entitled to it, and a dude who's taking up a seat and a half because his knees can't go forward-facing in the space between rows. Your body language makes it obvious.Similarly with people who have physical issues that affect how they sit. Somebody who's taking up two seats but who's holding a cane or looks like they're dealing with pain is pretty clearly not doing it to be a jerk.
I don't think it's even necessary to introduce the question "Is he a rapist" into the dynamic. If I am on the bus reading a book (and I am always reading a book. I take the bus because I can read on it, which buys me an extra hour of study time every class day over other transit methods), then it would be courteous of a stranger not to assume that his or her desire to chat with me, or flirt with me, or pick me up supercedes my desire to read my book.And here:
To a great many people, an unsolicited and blatantly sexual sexual message is threatening. Let me break down some reasons why: the person issuing the "invitation" is loudly breaking several boundaries of widespread social interaction, e.g., we don't usually yell at strangers, we don't usually trumpet sexual interest, we don't usually try to jump from strangerhood into sexual relationships. A person who disregards these pretty basic social boundaries may not respect other social contracts, including the prohibitions against touching strangers, beating up strangers, and raping strangers.And here:
It's the cheerful willingness of intrusive strangers to disregard these cues and clues that puts me on my guard. If a stranger disregards or misses a whole series of socially accepted clues, I start wondering what other clues and social boundaries they will disregard or miss. I get wary --- not so much of their intent as of their ability to gauge another person's boundaries.And here:
[this Kate Harding thread on the subject] points out that the male-privilege of expecting female attention in public is not solely expressed in lurid catcalling or other sexual attention, but also in the more innocuous guise of, for example, the little old man who thinks you should chat with him and let him pat your hand rather than reading your book or listening to your iPod.And here:
As I pointed out above, my perception of risk goes up sharply when the person trying to get my attention has already ignored my strong social cues indicating that I don't want to engage with him. (These cues are the focus of the linked article, too.) If a stranger is willing to ignore widely respected social guidelines simply because he desires the pleasure of my attention, I am very wary of him. If he is oblivious to or disrespectful of these socially agreed upon boundaries, I wonder what other boundaries he will ignore.It seemed to me that that was the overwhelming sentiment women expressed in that thread: A) that strangers --- mostly men --- frequently ignore the common social or conversational cues that we wish to avoid engaging with them and insist upon receiving some attention; B) it's reasonable to wonder if someone who so insistently or unknowingly blows past those socially agreed-upon boundaries will also ignore other, more crucial boundaries and cause us harm.
Durn Bronzefist: How about we listen to each other? No? No good? Alright then. Laters.
No. No good. Not about this. I'm deadly serious. This is a one of the main problems of the conversation we're having here, and of any conversation between (some) men and (most) women about rape and rape culture.
We don't have to listen to you; you have to listen to us. Nothing you have to say has any bearing on how we have no choice but to live our lives in a world you don't live in. You might be the best guy ever--a saint of a human being--but nothing you say to us on this topic makes any kind of difference in our experiences in a culture in which misogyny is so unbelievably ingrained that men (and some women) don't know or see about 90% of it until they bother to look really, really closely. Again, I recommend this discussion.
Men don't get a pass on feeling uncomfortable in this conversation. You should feel uncomfortable. When confronted with an involved and complex discussion of racism, I learned very quickly that I did not have the right to counter what POCs were saying with "but but but" and "I'm not like that" and "well, but you should also listen to me--shouldn't we listen to each other, after all?" That's the classic derail in which I try to make their discussion about their lives into a discussion about me, which is what you and several others here are trying to do. What I had the right to do was shut up and listen to them, and ask questions about what I didn't understand, so that I could learn about their world--a world that I don't live in. You can bet your ass that I was uncomfortable. But I also became so much more aware of the pervasiveness of racism in our society--so much more than I could possibly have imagined. Beyond anything I might have thought I'd known. So yeah, I don't have to listen to you about your thoughts about where I live, because You Don't Live Here.
You don't want to face the fact that you quite probably don't understand what we're talking about, and would rather be glib or smug? Nothing we can do about that, but that makes you a great big part of the problem. You clearly have no desire to do the work required to gain serious understanding, because then you'd have to admit that you're wrong.
But it is obvious that you would rather not entertain the notion that you might learn things that will make you uncomfortable--that, or you truly believe that women should have to listen to what men have to say about women's lives in a discussion of something only women can, and do, experience. If that's the case, as you say, laters.

My issue with the concept of "rudeness" as it relates to conversations like these is that I find many, many sexist* statments, no matter how "politely" expressed, to be inherently insulting and hurtful. There's no polite way to say that women aren't good at taking care of children**, for example. It's just never going to be polite. I find it understandable to respond to statements like those with rudeness. That's life in a social setting--insult a bunch of people, and they're going to be pissed off and act like they're pissed off, and that includes the occasional snarky comment.And I wish we, as a community, could start thinking about what tolerating sexist microaggression from certain community members does for whole other populations of community members, no matter how "politely" those microaggressions are phrased. Particularly when addressing those microaggressions leads to the justifiably hurt members of those sub-populations to be labeled as "bullies," as happened in this thread and has happened in the past.
if there was a thread about racism and a bunch of white people jumped in and started problematizing racist white people's behavior and trying to figure out why they thought the way they did and what was the best way to combat that and end racism, well I'd turn a darn cartwheel.and
I'm saying if people think that black folk want to talk about the problems but would react adversely to a bunch of white people coming into a thread and talking about how racist white people think, in an attempt to attack and end racism, I believe those people would be wrong. It doesn't happen to work the same way.I agree that those sound like valuable conversations to have. They are not the only conversations to have.

Can Two iPads Replace the Turntable? [VIDEO]
Do DJs still need expensive solutions like Serato and a truckload of equipment to get their game on, or can they please a crowd using only two Apple iPads and off-the-shelf App Store apps? That's what Rana June Sobhany is exploring to great effect with her Destroy the Silence project. We caught up with Rana on Skype recently to find out more about the mission, what makes the iPad a viable new creative platform and what's coming next for the live performance.

About Prada
History and background of Prada. The Prada label was begun in 1913 by Mario Prada when he began selling shoes, leather handbags and trunks. He opened two boutiques in Milan after experience in Europe and U.S.A. The classic Prada suitcase was made of heavy walrus skin but as plane travel made heavy suitcases impractical, the company started to make lighter bags and high quality items made of crystals, tortoise shell and wood.

Comments about Prada L'eau Ambree Perfume:
I had an old bottle of Prada "Amber" that I bought some years ago and I remembered how much I loved it, but whilst moving it leaked almost completely out of the bottle. I noticed on FragranceX that there were several Prada "Ambre" fragrances and decided to chose this one. It is even better than my original one and instead of costing over $120.00 in a department store I got it for about half as much on FragranceX. It is a bit overpowering at first which would make you think it would last longer, but maybe it is because it smells so strong at first I don't put much on and it wears off quicker? I have started using my many bottles of perfumes more for different occasions or according to what I am wearing so this one is used for the evening when going out - it just seems like a sexy night-time fragrance. I have ordered a wide array of fragrances varying from designer to scent to type of occasion and this is a great addition to my little "collection" I have going on. [...] I like to keep "discovering" new fragrances so I am not sure if I'll re-order right away, but Prada's "Ambre" is definitely on my list of fragrances that are high quality, smell great, and are of good value at their price on FragranceX. Thank you so much for another wonderful purchase!

A total of 147.5 million persons worked at some point during 1999, of which 65.9 percent were employed year round and full time. This percentage was up slightly from the 65.6 percent figure recorded in 1998.
The proportion of workers employed year round, full time in 1999 was the highest in the 50 years since the series began. Year-round workers are employed for 50 to 52 weeks a year and full-time workers usually work 35 or more hours a week.
While the share of total workers working full time, year round increased between 1998 and 1999, the percentage of men working full time and year round dipped from 73.9 to 73.4 percent. This was more than offset by the percentage of women working full time and year round, however, which grew from 56.5 percent to 57.6 percent.
These data are from the March Supplement to the Current Population Survey. Learn more in "Work Experience of the Population in 1999," news release USDL 00-333.

Last year I went to visit some friends who live in a neighborhood down under the Brooklyn Bridge. It's one of my favorite areas of New York and home to one of the best chocolate shops in the country, Jacques Torres. We visited the shop on a cool autumn morning. It was extremely busy, so we moved through the line and quickly but carefully selected our chocolates which we ate while strolling around Brooklyn. Today's recipe reminds me of that fun day.
Martha Stewart likes this recipe and her version is here. Below is a halved version. I recommend making the half batch first since a half batch makes plenty and you'll be able to afford the very best chocolate!
What makes this recipe special, aside from the expensive chocolate, is the combination of bread flour and pastry flour. The cookies are large and sturdy with a thick crunchy shell and tender centers. You might have to make a special trip to the store for the flours, but it will be worth it.
Note: The recipe doesn't say to mix the dry ingredients ahead of time, but I went ahead and did that so I could add them all at once. Also, you can bake these all at once, or chill the dough overnight. The texture improves a bit if you chill the dough overnight.
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon pastry flour
- 1 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 pound good quality dark chocolate, chopped coarsely
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats; set aside. Don't grease the baking sheets because this might cause extra spreading.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add vanilla, then add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate; mix until well combined.
- Using a 4-ounce scoop for larger cookies or a 1-ounce scoop for smaller cookies, (I used a very generously rounded tablespoon) scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned, but still soft, about 20 minutes for larger cookies and about 15 minutes for smaller cookies. If you use a rounded tablespoon, check your cookies at 12 minutes. Cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you use a very generously rounded tablespoon or a 1 scoop, you'll get about 4 dozen cookies.

Ninety percent of Afghans cannot access dental care in their area and often die due to chronic infections. The AFGHANISTAN DENTAL RELIEF PROJECT transforms underprivileged young Afghans into highly trained technicians, dental hygienists and assistants who then provide dental services to the poor at its facility in Kabul. The facility, which includes a seven-chair clinic, treats over 20,000 Afghans a year for free.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Early in the new season of "Homeland," which premieres Sunday on Showtime, Saul Berenson sits with a tumbler of whiskey in his hand and a defeated look on his face.
"I'm not temperamentally suited to the job," says the veteran intelligence officer played by Mandy Patinkin, who finds himself ill at ease in his new role as acting director of the CIA.
Alex Gansa, "Homeland's" creator, show runner and — in the wake of a Season 2 backlash that saw critics reject the Emmy-winning terrorism drama as emphatically as they'd once embraced it — most public defender, knows the feeling all too well.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
"I so relate to Saul," he says at D.C.'s tony Hay-Adams Hotel.
Unlike some other TV creators of his caliber, Gansa, formerly a producer on "Entourage" and "24," does not summarily dismiss the criticisms leveled at his show. Instead, he speaks with a disarming level of candor about the challenges of overseeing such an intensely scrutinized program.
Co-created by Howard Gordon and loosely based on the Israeli drama "Hatufim," "Homeland" was anointed TV's Next Great Show when it premiered in 2011. Viewers and critics alike were captivated by the strange romance between brilliant but bipolar CIA agent Carrie Mathison and Marine-turned-terrorist Nicholas Brody. "Homeland" swept last year's Emmys, where it was named outstanding drama series and leads Damian Lewis and Claire Danes won their respective categories.
As Showtime's highest-rated freshman series, "Homeland" represented a thorough creative and commercial triumph for the network, one which finally enabled it to chip away at HBO's decades-old dominance in the prestige-TV game.
PHOTOS: Leading ladies of the fall TV season
Then came the second season.
In its sophomore outing, "Homeland" essentially reversed the narrative trajectory of the first season. Brody, a freshly elected congressman, rejects his jihadist beliefs and aligns with the CIA, only to be framed as the mastermind of a surprise attack on agency headquarters. The pole shift required some extravagant plot twists — including, perhaps most infamously, an assassination carried out via a hacked pacemaker.
Critics hammered the "Homeland" writing staff over the supposed lapses in plausibility. Buzzfeed's Kate Aurthur called the season "meandering, maddening, and unintentionally funny," while Salon's Willa Paskin settled on "crazy, bananas, bonkers, idiotic, insane, stupid, contrived, deranged."
Yet as the backlash grew to a fever pitch, so did the ratings. An average of 6.2 million viewers tuned in across various platforms last year, representing a 43% increase over Season 1. Surely not all of them were hate-watching.
Danes, who took her second Emmy for the role Sept. 22, is unfazed by the uproar. "A second effort is always going to be held to task much more rigorously," she says via telephone from Charlotte, N.C., where the series is filmed. "I think people's expectations were incredibly high."
But Gansa is not so blithe. "I feel exactly the same way about the acclaim of Season 1 that I feel about the backlash of Season 2 and that is some of it was deserved and some of it wasn't," he says, having just returned from a private tour of the (still very much intact) CIA headquarters in Langley, Va.
Later that evening, he'll attend a splashy premiere party at the Corcoran Gallery of Art attended by, among others, Rep. Henry Waxman of Los Angeles, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd and "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer. Even on a day when the nation teeters on the brink of intervention in Syria, Washington's elite are eager to bask in the "Homeland" limelight — evidence, perhaps, that the show has yet to truly jump the shark.
Although Gansa is willing to concede that Season 2 had its "wobbly moments" (for the record, he thinks the season's weakest episode was "A Gettysburg Address"), he remains wary of recap culture. "It's hard to take every episode and analyze it on its own merits, because it's a chapter in an ongoing story," he says. "The way these shows are picked apart and analyzed now is so crazy."
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
What some of the naysayers also seem to have forgotten — or conveniently ignored — is that from the outset, the show required viewers to suspend a generous amount of disbelief, as Gansa readily admits: "Start with the premise: a bipolar CIA agent and a Marine who's been turned in captivity. I mean those are fairly implausible ideas to begin with, but they're dramatic."
The backlash was also in a perverse way hugely flattering; after all, it meant viewers were passionate about the material. "It's a bit like soccer fans at home," says Lewis, a Brit. "If your manager makes a bad call during a match or a player leaves, they feel betrayal keenly, and TV fans are the same way."

Shared web hosting is one of the most popular web hosting server. But it is better to select the web hosting server according to your needs and requirements. Before choosing any kind of Web hosting server it is important that you must be aware all positive and negative aspects of web hosting servers.
No doubt that Shared web hosting is very popular but it too has few advantages and disadvantages. Here is the list of advantages and disadvantages of Shared web hosting, which you must consider while planning to have one.
3 Pros of Shared Web hosting
Easy and Fast Setup:
Shared web hosting is easy to setup, whereas dedicated hosting needs time to setup and do need lots of technical knowledge. Shared web hosting is generally gets setup in almost in 24 hours from the time of purchase.
Low Price:
As shared web hosting is shared between lots of websites so the price of shared web hosting is very low as compared with other web hosting servers. There is also no maintenance cost for it, all is included in purchase price so you don't need to worry about maintenance and don't even have to pay for it.
Best option for small websites:
Shared web hosting is shared between lots of other websites thus all the resources are also shared between those websites. Small websites or new websites don't have many resources that are why shared web hosting is good choice for them.
3 Cons of Shared web hosting
Not worth for big websites:
As shared web hosting provides limited resources, there might be problem with websites having affiliates or huge resources. Even if one website crash, it might impact other websites also. Thus, if you have a website with more resources than it its better that you must go for dedicated server.
Dynamic IP:
Many web hosting companies don't provide static IP for your website, thus it might create a problem when you need a static IP for your E-commerce website. You can get dynamic IP from few companies but you need to pay them extra for same.
Security can be another factor which adds to Shared web hosting disadvantages. As shared web hosting have many websites on same server the chances of hacking increases. And because of thousands of websites, maintenance and security can be at risk.
- Learn: What is dedicated webhosting
I hope now you will find easy to decide that Shared Web hosting is good for your website or not. Don't forget to share your views about Shared web hosting.

The characters we met a little more than a decade ago return for their high school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's Mom. And Stifler remains the same as he ever was. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about- and get inspired by-the hormonal teens they were.
Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, language, brief drug use and teen drinking.

In response to a ranter
Upon reading the rant of non-educated people, which actually appeared to be two posts, as the content is almost word for word. This is concerning opportunity. According to the writer the true color shines through that he actually is professing that voters for Obama were uneducated and we should go to the library to get educated.
I believe the right to vote applies to all and just not the privileged educated. Education status has no bearing on the fact. In a truthful outlook over the past the position of being educated has not even had a bearing on our politicians who run the government.
You mentioned prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance and here I have to agree, but yet we also must remember that prayer was never forced upon anyone. If the pledge bothers someone then there is the door.
We are so quick to blame the economic woes upon the present president but this shortfall has been passed down and coming for a while.
Our government wastes more money than anyone could ever imagine. Both parties spend countless hours building up and trying to tear down the Obama administration yet the fact that an audit by Ron Paul of the Federal Reserve showed that $16 trillion has been loaned to U.S. and foreign banks interest free and not one dime was paid back since 2007 to the present. Why is there not an outcry for this, or is it because it's just big banking?
It seems if someone voted for Obama they are just looking for a handout. What I would like to ask is who is responsible for the loss of our jobs to China, who created the housing bust, who took money from Social Security to pay off other debts or help balance budgets? You don't need to go to the library for this one just look to Washington.
It seems like every year you hear the same old tale that we must get out of this hole and pull up our bootstraps and pitch in. This is why the marketplace and local governments are having problems with unions as the American people are not pulling up their bootstraps anymore. We are tired of bailing out the government and large corporations while these people line their pockets with gold and it will end up being just on a continuous cycle. The people don't want it anymore and since you caused my good-paying job to leave you now want me to accept a big-box job receiving minimum wage and fewer benefits and being treated like cattle.
This is what you want the American people to do? You do it first! You support a family and pay your mortgage on a house that is not even worth what you paid for it, and you put gas that has doubled or tripled over the past few years all on minimum wage. Just so I can say I have a job. It's not economically sound. The government made their bed and now the time has come for them to sleep in it. The government could fade away tomorrow and I would survive fine. It is the folks who are so far up the governments' behind that they won't know what to do without them.
Your final assumption was that these so-called parasites of society should not be allowed to reproduce. Your way of thinking reminds me of a few books I read on a man and if you go to the library. you profess that you do. I would suggest you read about him while you are there. Look in the card catalog under Hitler because he professed the same thing about the Jews. That statement took away any educated credibility you might have had.
Editor's note: A bill to audit the Federal Reserve, sponsored by former presidential candidate Ron Paul, passed the House in July. The bill was then blocked in the Senate and never came to a vote.
A thank you and an opinion
I want to thank Hometown News for checking the rants for accuracy and citing the deviations from fact. Too many rants are presented as gospel. Keep up the good work.
As for the recent rant, "Fire the CEO, the USA is not a for-profit corporation." The old saying, "the business of America is business," might pass for wisdom at a Rotary Club lunch, but America is far more than just a marketplace.
Not only can business flourish here (hopefully, all private enterprise, not just corporate monopolies), but also science, the arts, education and small-d democracy.
According to Gov. Christie, president Obama has been on the phone with him every day since Sandy struck New Jersey and the northeast. He said the president has gone out of his way to see that material and services have been fast-tracked to his state. The president visited New York and New Jersey for a first-hand look at the situation on the ground.
As for one of our drones being fired upon by Iran; what should we expect? The drone was flying over Iranian airspace, not Fort Pierce. Iran does have the right to protect its own air space. American exceptionalism does not give us the right to intrude on another country, nor does it give us the right to ignore history.
During the latter days of the Eisenhower administration, Francis Gary Powers, pilot of a U2 spy plane, was shot down over the Soviet Union. He was captured, much to our embarrassment, but not to our surprise.
A military flight over enemy territory will not be greeted with a bouquet of flowers, although Donald Rumsfeld assured us we could expect as much when we invaded Iraq to relieve them of their dictator and all their weapons of mass destruction. Of course they had them, intelligence agencies told him so. Well, Don was right about the dictator; he was there.
Republicans of the Tea Party are determined to undo all social progress made since the New Deal. That will not happen.
Successful air show
The Stuart Air Show Nov. 9, 10 and 11 was a huge success. I would like to encourage all of Stuart and the surrounding areas to attend the Stuart Air Show in 2013.
The show was full of talented aerial acts along with rides for the children and numerous displays of local businesses and fun treats to eat. We enjoyed facilitating the WWII battle reenactments for the air show.
Many area nonprofits benefit from the air show, too numerous to mention. Please see the Stuart Air show website for the list of benefactors.
I represent the Road to Victory Museum at 319 Stypmann Ave., in Stuart, behind Veteran's Memorial Park. The museum is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. every Saturday and by appointment for private showings. The volunteers at the museum would be honored to have the community view the artifacts and historical vehicles from their collection. Please consider a visit to our museum.
Be skeptical of predictions
Our federal government has spent $25 billion studying global warming. The rate of spending has increased each and every year. Environmental alarmists claim America is dying under a sea of pollution and the cities will soon be under water.
Doomsday prophecies have grabbed headlines but computer models are frequently faulty. In the mid-1970s, computer models told us we should prepare for global cooling. Today's predictions should be greeted with a great deal of skepticism.
Congratulations to the Democrats. You have given your president the OK to finish the job of making the United States of America into a European socialist state. If you want to see what we will be like in the future, look at Greece and Spain and reflect on the riots, stagnant economies, massive unemployment and complete social unrest!
And also be ready to accept Euros instead of U.S dollars when Obama introduces them to our lame economy.

And Balmer not being there might have a touch more to do with his political views than the location of microsoft me thinks.
I guess he is doing better...
Advancements in tech will create more jobs, this is true. But it's also going to destroy them. We are beginning to move away from human interaction all over the place. At the airport, the average passenger doesn't even end up talking to anyone before they go through security. It is virtually impossible to buy your ticket in any way other than online. You are either required to check in and print your boarding pass from home, or at a kiosk. Grocery stores now have self check out, with more and more stores moving towards this. Hell, even one of the local oil change places has you tell a computer what you want, pay via credit card, drive your car into a garage, where it is serviced. This is all in the name of convenience, yet in all cases there are far fewer or even no workers, meaning this tech advancement has eliminated these jobs.
I wonder if they had freebies given out after dinner. And a drawing for a billion dollars.
Good idea for meeting we need more jobs.
Yes, it was pretty easy because he had the entire main stream media building him up everyday to be some type of messiah. They did and they still are covering for Obama everyday. If the media reported the truth about him and what he really believes his approval ratings would be in the teens. You need to wake up and start voting for people based on their track record and beliefs and NOT because they would be the first at something. If you still support Obama after what he's done over the past two years then you must be one of the 47% of Americans that don't pay taxes. Pretty sad!
The stock market is up 85% since it's post-collapse low in March 2009.
That's why I'll be voting to re-elect President Obama next year. I want 4 more years of that!
LOL, at Steve Jobs still wearing his black turtle neck...
This sounds more like meet the press than modmyi... Can't believe how people give the prez so much grief for 3 years of recovering, albeit slowly, and gave George Bush & co 8 years of digging us into this. Fact is when Obama leaves office it'll look better than when Bush left.... Anyways what's up with the black turtle neck thing? Lol I feel like I'm watching cartoons when I see Steve Jobs, he only has one outfit?
Way too many people falsely put ALL blame bush for the market collapse, and an equally large amount of people give Obama way too much credit for being it's saving grace.

The sun keeps rising, the world keeps turning, and the San Antonio Spurs keep quietly winning games.
They may not get the hype and attention that other dynasties have, but if the Spurs make the finals this year they have to be considered in the conversation as one of the best teams ever.
The numbers alone stand for themselves. Since drafting Tim Duncan 16 years ago, when the dynasty began, the Spurs have won more games than any other team in the league, four championships and advanced deep into the playoffs almost every year.
Unlike other great dynasties, the Spurs have adopted the personality of their star player. Duncan is humble almost to a fault, never doing anything to draw attention to himself. He thrives in anonymity, choosing to compete with dignity and poise rarely seen in professional sports these days. But what that personality lacks in headline generation, it makes up for in sustained greatness.
The thing is, there are two types of greatness. One is short term greatness, athletes who have historically great talent, show it for a short period of time, but for whatever reason (usually injury), we don't get to know whether or not they would have been able to stay at an elite level for a long time. Think guys like Bo Jackson or even Marcus Dupree.
But what those two have in common is their greatness was on a football field, a place where the wear and tear of the game makes it exceedingly difficult to stay on top for years and years at a time. Basketball is different. If you take care of yourself and continue to evolve your game as your physical skills diminish, you can maintain your greatness for long stretches.
There have been plenty of teams to dominate for short periods of time, and even that's worthy of great praise, but to be dominant for over a decade is downright amazing. Really, only the Boston Celtics of the 1960s and early 70s can match the current era Spurs in the longevity of their stay at the top of the NBA world. And that was in a much different era, one in which there were less competitive teams in the league and far less player movement.
The Spurs have retooled their roles players over and over again, consistently finding a way to make the new guys work in the framework that Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich has created. Where once it was Robert Horry and Bruce Bowen hitting threes and playing good defense, now it's Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green filling those roles. But in the last few years it didn't look like the Spurs were going to find a way to make it work again.

The blueprint might address workforce development, for example. "It's hard to find professionals willing to go out to remote reservation communities," said
Captain Hunt. "The number of Indian mental health professionals is very small." The blueprint might also address the lack of coordination among mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, and other systems. Or the blueprint might identify ways to incorporate traditional healers or ceremonies into a youth's care.
As a way of increasing their community's sense of relatedness to the process, grantees may develop their own definitions of "serious emotional disturbance." Doing so helps communities reduce the stigma of behavioral health services and incorporate indigenous beliefs about illness and wellness, explained Candace Fleming, Ph.D., Associate Director of the Circles of Care Evaluation Technical Assistance Center at the University of Colorado Denver.
"There's one grantee that uses a phrase meaning 'a strong suffering of the mind and heart,' " she said. "You can see there's a different emphasis here compared to the English phrase 'serious emotional disturbance.' "
The Circles of Care approach is working well, added Dr. Fleming.
Of the 23 grantees that "graduated" from Circles of Care since the program's inception, 9 have obtained direct funding from SAMHSA's Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program—also known as the Child Mental Health Initiative (CMHI). This funding helped put their plans, developed during their Circles of Care grant, into practice. Four others obtained additional funding by partnering with other CMHI grantees. Others used alternative strategies to activate their models developed through Circles of Care.
What's more, said Dr. Fleming, the Circles of Care approach appears to be spreading throughout Indian Country. "With each cohort applying to Circles of Care, there are greater levels of community engagement," she said. "Indian communities are embracing this concept."
For more information about the Circles of Care grantee program, please contact Captain Andrew Hunt at SAMHSA at email@example.com.

text: I went almost all in on this. I made everything but the desserts. The hubs grilled the chicken and slider patties for me but I did all of the rest. We actually did this for Father's Day instead of Memorial. I chose it because it had so many fresh vegetables between all the dishes. The gazpacho and the pasta salad were huge hits. The sliders and cheese dip came in a close second. The BBQ chicken was great but nothing new. The carrot salad was alright. I made key lime pie and mango sorbet instead of the banana splits and punch (we had craft beers) and they went fantastically with this summertime meal.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Idaho State Police want drivers to remember troopers are keeping a close eye on the roads this holiday season.
Extra DUI emphasis patrols are currently in effect, and additional officers are specifically looking for anyone driving under the influence of alcohol or any other intoxicating substance.
Troopers say prescription medication can even be considered an intoxicating substance, even if it does not directly affect a person's driving ability.
Idaho's patrols run through Jan. 2.
Those emphasis patrols cross the state line into Washington, especially as New Year's Eve approaches.
Triple A calls that night the deadliest day on U.S. roads, and alcohol-related wrecks are a large factor.
WSP says more people get out on the road after drinking at this time of year. Troopers have been out heavily because of this since Dec. 21.
In the last ten years, WSP in Eastern Washington says there have been three fatal crashes on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day on interstates, highways and state routes. While that number might sound small, it still makes the agency want to work hard to continue to protect drivers.
"Every DUI we take off the road is potentially one less death notification we have to make, and that's important to us," Troy Briggs with WSP says.
Drinking while driving is a problem the agency faces all year.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, one-third of highway deaths nationwide have involved an alcohol-impaired driver. In 2011, more than 14 percent of drivers admitted to driving when they though they were close to, or perhaps even over the legal limit.
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission says nearly half of the fatal crashes in Spokane Co. involved an impaired driver.
WSP's emphasis will end Jan. 2.

Comments about Dri-Eaz HEPA 500 Air Scrubber:
I purchased the product to help cleanse our home from fiberglass contamination. There was nothing written out there on how to remedy a fiberglass air contamination. My father-in-law recommended this product. The air has definitely cleared up. We are giving it a rest at the moment. It is loud, but it is effective. I have been able to go into places where I couldn't before without coughing. It's worth the money to have clean air in our home. Don't take that privilege lightly.
Comments about Dri-Eaz HEPA 500 Air Scrubber:
My friend bought one of this for his business. He's a carpenter. With this thing in operation, I have no problem breathing in his garage work area--I have severe allegy and am very sensitive to airborne particulates. He told me how much he loved this machine. The best thing about it is that it has the cover which when not in operation, can be put on to seal the contaminants inside; will not leak out everywhere like many other air scrubber. I am actually thinking about getting one of theseand use it as an air purifier at home. But the look and size make it kind of awkward sitting in house....I will have to think about it: for efficiency I am sure it's better than those designed for home use because this type of industrial machine is also intended to remove hazardous airborne asbestos and lead, it CAN'T fail and must work. For those designed for home use only, you have to turn it on 24 hours a day because when it stops, the trapped airborne particles will fly out and contaminate the surrounding again. But this machine is quite ugly for home use for sure: look how elegant the Rabbit Air Purifier is!; but it works perfectly well--here is a dilemma.

Job openings in June 2011
August 12, 2011
The number of job openings in June was 3.1 million, essentially unchanged from May.
Although the number of job openings in June was 997,000 higher than in July 2009 (the series trough), it has been relatively flat since February 2011 and remains well below the 4.4 million openings when the recession began in December 2007.
From June 2010 to June 2011, the number of job openings (not seasonally adjusted) increased for total nonfarm and total private. The number of job openings also increased in mining and logging, retail trade, professional and business services, and health care and social assistance. Job openings decreased over the year for federal government. Over the year comparisons for federal government are impacted by last year's elevated numbers of job openings, hires, and separations of temporary workers needed to conduct the 2010 Census.
These data are from the BLS Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, and are seasonally adjusted. More information can be found in "Job Openings and Labor Turnover — June 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-1187.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Editor's Desk, Job openings in June 2011 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2011/ted_20110812.htm (visited September 21, 2014).

Celebrate American freedom and say "Thanks" to our men and women in uniform at the Veterans Day Appreciation Fair.
The Fair will be held at the Capitol Hill Library, 334 S.W. 26th Street, on Friday, November 11 from 10:00a.m. to 2:00p.m. The event is being co-sponsored with Community Partners, and is free and open to the public. There will be refreshments and information for veterans.
"We're all honored," said librarian Jennifer Hill, to be able to take this opportunity to celebrate our veterans' service to America, and we hope that many of them come to the library so we can thank them in person."
