Maybe Marissa Mayer Is Onto Something
Not every working mom is up in arms over Yahoo's new policy against telecommuting
Yahoo's new stance against working from home has sparked intense backlash from working parents who argue that telecommuting is essential for juggling a career with the demands of raising kids. And taking the most heat in the uproar is Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who famously took a two-week maternity leave after having her first child, and who is now having a nursery built next to her office.
Many are saying that Mayer just doesn't get it.
Or does she?
Vanessa Vancour, an account manager for Noble Studies, a digital agency in Nevada, is a mom of two young children under four years old. After working from home for several months, Vancour was all too happy to head back to the office.
As she puts it, "I didn't like it [telecommuting] as much as I thought I would. I missed being with a team with whom I could trade ideas and collaborate creatively. It was hard for my partner to ignore the fact that I was home… and it was even harder for me to see my family playing outside and finding, deep inside, the will power to stay glued to my desk instead of joining them. This was especially hard on my daughter. It's hard for a child to grasp that mommy 'isn't really there'."
Idaho mom Jen Matthewson freely admits there's no way to combine the long hours of a career journalist with juggling kids. From her perspective, "At home, you only get in half the hours and your production level drops drastically because of the interruptions. When I work from home, I get about 4-5 hours of work in the 9-hour time frame."
With increasingly women delaying having kids until their 30s and 40s, some moms have spent decades advancing at the office—and simply don't want to stay home to work.
"I had 20 years of building my identity through my job before having my daughter at 40 years old," says Monique Littlejohn, development director for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara, California. "Working helps to build emotional self-sufficiency," she adds. "It helps to keep social relationships strong. Most of my friendships were developed 'on the job.'"
But what about children? Isn't staying at home with a loving, attentive parent all day the ideal? When it comes to work-at-home parents, the reality of juggling kids and job tasks is often anything but. Parents may rely excessively on television and other "screen time" to keep children occupied as they work. They might be on a conference call when it's time for playtime at the park, or need to cancel that long-awaited playdate because a deadline got moved.
While these might sound like typical #firstworldproblems, for the estimated 24 percent of employed Americans who've reported that they work at least some hours at home each week, this is reality. And given the intense criticism aimed at Mayer, a mom who you know takes her work home with at night, it just seems like the current black and white conversation about telecommuting and parenting needs more shades of gray, so to speak. After all, not every mom dreams of working all day in her pajamas.
And having a work life and a home life that are distinct has its benefits, too. "When I'm home, I'm home," says Vancour. "I'm making dinner, changing diapers, reading bed time stories and not checking email or taking phone calls. It's important for me to draw a very strict line between work and home to maintain my sanity and healthy balance for my family."

Sheeze! Has the Thrashers schedule early on been aggravating or what?
Five days in between the first game and the second game…then our patience was rewarded with a pair of games toward the end of last week…but now we are dealing with six days in between the 4-2 loss in Ottawa and the next game scheduled for this Friday in New Jersey.
Thrasherville won't host another home game until the 22nd when the Caps come to town.
However, I do have my NHL Center Ice…and for that, I am truly thankful. Without this wonderful gift from the hockey gods, I might just have gone stir-crazy by now.
Which west coast team are you looking to "adopt" this season?
Total Voters: 124
Because of the Center Ice package, one of the things I'm able to do is follow the teams out west that we don't get to see very often play in Atlanta. And, as I normally do, I tend to focus in on one particular team and "adopt" them as my second team. Naturally, the Flames are one that I, as well as many others, keep an eye on given their roots. But I also like to choose another squad as well… one that is poised to make a run for the Cup or a team that is making great strides to get back into contention after a re-building period.
For the past few years, the team I have chosen to take on has been the San Jose Sharks. They've been stacked with quality players and have been positioned to contend for the championship over the course of the last couple of years. Their fans are super, supporting them the way they do, and all of the ones I've ever met are classy people…so that helps.
But their recent playoff shortcomings have me considering a different team in which to give my attention.
Possible selections are…
Chicago Blackhawks: Great run in last spring's playoffs and exciting to watch. Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp are all entertaining players as well. But they seem to be the chic team that many people are bandwagon-ing.
Edmonton Oilers: Could be a very interesting team to follow as they look to make a return trip to the postseason for the first time since 2006. Mike Comrie, Shawn Horcoff and Dustin Penner have gotten the Oilers off to a 3-1-1 start.
Minnesota Wild: They fell just shy of that 8th and final spot last April…and I gotta tell ya, I love Minnesota hockey fans…Oh Yeah, you betcha! I'd pull for them for that reason alone.
Colorado Avalanche: Here's an interesting story in the making…69 points last season and rock bottom in the Western Conference standings. However, are off to a 4-1-1 and seem to have found the answer to the question between the pipes. Craig Anderson now possesses a 1.98 GAA and .940 SV% after the Avs' 4-1 win in Toronto Tuesday night.
Phoenix Coyotes: Certainly some could argue that they get the sympathy vote given what they've been through lately.
Detroit Red Wings: While there are many who'd take in the Winged Wheels…given their hometown loyalties and all…I just can't seem to bring myself to root regularly for the Big Red Borg. Besides, if you saw their recent loss to Buffalo, they just look old and slow right now. Could the past several years being catching up with them?
Regardless, if you have a team you've decided to adopt this season, let me know. I'm still trying to decide myself.
Big Blow Out Thrashers Viewing Party At TJ's Saturday
The Thrashers play in Buffalo on Saturday night, but its not being aired on local TV….again. If you don't have Center Ice, it's yet another night of not being able to watch our team play.
You get your lazy carcass up off the couch after an afternoon of watching college football and make your way over TJ's Bar and Grill for what promises to be an exciting, fun-packed evening of Thrashers hockey.
The Thrashers Fan Club will be there along with a DJ to play the music we're accustomed to hearing at Philips Arena…and they'll even be bringing a goal horn as well.
I'll probably get stuck at the table right next to that.
I was chatting with Sean Grace the other day and he told me that Fan Club members will receive a 15% discount on food and drinks that night as well as be eligible for prizes, (tickets, equipment, signed stuff), that they will have to raffle off. Anyone signing up to become a member of the club will be able to enjoy all benefits that very night!
The Thrashers have armed me with some tickets to upcoming games for a couple of lucky attendees to go home with as well. I'll also have information available for anyone still interested in getting aboard the Party Bus next Saturday to the game against the Sharks…there are just a few seats left for that gala-extravaganza!
So come join us to watch the Thrashers take on the Sabres in an environment that's just as rowdy and raucous as if we were there in person!

Five_hole – wasn't there a riot in Montreal during one of the Canadiens' playoff years over the fact the Rocket Richard was penalized a play-off game (maybe 2) for a bad penalty?
Unfortunately, I, too remember the great Jack Benny. Some of his jokes are still timeless!
Thanks for the info on the streaming through nhl.com. I'm gonna try it in just a few since I'm done with work for the day. I need a hockey fix!!!

Never watched a hockey game in my life (except "Do you believe in miracles") until the Thrashers came to town. Growing up in Chicago we were into the Cubs and Da Bears but did not follow hockey until a friend moved here from Pittsburgh (I know, I know) and introduced me to the game. If she wears her Lemieux (sp?) jersey on the bus she will be sitting alone!

Dandylions How could you grow up in Chicago & not be a Blackhawks fan? I grew up in St. Louis when the Blues franchise started and I remember listening (on the radio) about Stan Mikita and Tony Esposito in goal? Later, going to the games, Stl & Chi were huge rivalries and those were always the biggest games to see.
Mrs. DWTOO and World Be Free that was before my time. Sorry couldn't resist. I don't remember the Rocket being suspended for a playoff game, but I bet that would have caused a riot.
October 15th, 2009
12:40 pm
I cannot pickup Comedy Central at work, so I turn the Toronto newspapers on line for my comedy entertainment. Brian Burke is in the papers today saying "it's no time to panic" after 6 games.
The Leafs won't panic until they hear Gary Bettman say- "With the 1st overall pick in the 2010 NHL entry draft, the Boston Bruins select……"
October 15th, 2009
12:44 pm
Yup, Rocket was suspended for punching an official in the 55 playoffs.
Wonder if that riot was as damaging to the city as the one Axl Rose set off after playing a short set…just after James Hetfield of Metallic was taken off on a stretcher having been burned badly after a flash pot blew underneath him.
October 15th, 2009
12:50 pm
Another rumor just crossed my desk concerning the sale of the Maple Leafs. Certain business leaders in Nevada are discussing purchasing the Maple Leafs and renaming them the Mustang Ranchers because they get scored on so often.

Comcast doesn't do CenterIce here (ATL region) because the lack of people 10K> who order CenterIce is miniscule when compared to the 100s of thousands of people who order the SEC football pkg, and the NBA league-pass pkg. The bandwidth is dedicated to the most-demanded product-consequently, Comcast Detroit does offer CenterIce in full HD as CenterIce is usually either the #1 or #2 most ordered sports pkg. in that region.
I am fixing to order the NHL GameCenter-I'll have a review for yall by the end of the month.
Oh I'm adopting the BlueJackets as I like their team make-up and it's been nice to watch the maturation of Nash. Also Mason is a treat to watch as well.

Tony C,
Maybe you are referring to only HD broadcasts, but I am currently watching daily free CenterIce on Comcast (Channels in the 700s) until end of October – unless my wife has killed me by then – only one TV goes to more than 99 Channels . I live in Decatur.

Just a quick heads-up. Someone had posted a blog or so ago about Dick's Sporting goods having some Thrashers jerseys on clearance. I needed to stop by there today (the NorthPoint location) for something else, and lo and behold that had about 7 XL and XXL Kovy Reebok replicas ~ $35 after the 75% discount (from the $129 marked price)
October 15th, 2009
5:23 pm
poor Goalie, so, does the 9 year old get credit for the goal, was that a shot out? Or an all_star game? Or did they just want to scar the poor goalie for life?
October 15th, 2009
6:15 pm
Heads up ya'll! Just got my jersey from Dicks in Buckhead. They still had about 3 or 4 large and several XL and XXL. BE WARNED! only the blue jersey is for sale at %75 off. They have 3rd jerseys there too but they are NOT on sale ($129 plus tax)
Girl friend was not as excited about my purchase as I thought she'd be. Go figure.

They play out of Loftus Versfeld, one of the 2010 FIFA World Cup venues. I haven't been to Jo-Burg yet. I'm working on the South Africa HIV/AIDS country operational plan for 2010 and the 2009 PEPFAR annual report to Congress, and have been pretty busy with these but I really do want to go see Johannesburg before returning to the States.

I'd like to make a case for the Phoenix Coyotes…after growing up in the northeast and spending 5 wonderful years in the Atlanta area, I have been a die-hard fan since '99. Phoenix is now my hometown, and if you have the Center Ice package i'd definitely say they're worth a look. Even if they don't last here in the desert beyond this season, they have some great young talent. (Never mind a goalie in Ilya Bryzgalov who has been standing on his head so far this season). Don't be quick to criticize the lack of fan-base considering all we heard all summer from Balsillie was that he'd move them ASAP. I'll be taking advantage of Center Ice in a few hours, sitting here in the sun watching the Thrash in NJ. I'll predict that Kovy keeps pace with that other Russian up in Washington and knocks two past Marty Brodeur tonight. Lets go Thrashers!!

Favorite Find Friday: GoSmile Double Action Whitening System
Written on December 14, 2012 at 10:00 am , by Christie Griffin
Thanks to three of my favorite things — red wine, beer, and coffee — my teeth haven't been as pearly white as usual. But I don't have the patience for whitening strips, so I opted for GoSmile…their little ampoules are about the size of a pencil eraser and I loved pretending I was "erasing" the stains from my teeth!
Within just a few days (seriously, like, three days) I already felt more prepared to face the photographer at a wedding I was attending. Even better: GoSmile has toothpaste to keep my teeth white and "touch-up" ampoules that I can use for immediately after I indulge in a glass of Malbec.
Cheers to a brighter, whiter holiday season!

Ever since Napster was taken down more than a decade ago, file-sharing websites had come and unfortunately disappeared. However, it is said that file-sharing can't be truly stopped, and people have turned to VPNs in order to share files.
A study from Lund University in Sweden shows that there has been a 40% increase in the young sector (15 to 25-year olds) using these services starting with 2009.
VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are secured networks that put to good use the public telecommunication infrastructure, including the internet, to provide access to a central organizational network. These private networks offer firewalls and encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. As such, they've become quite popular, and are now used to share files and digital data anonymously.
The study, carried out by the Cybernorms research group at Lund University, shows that more than 700.000 Swedes use anonymous VPN services, such as Pirate Pay's iPredator – an increase since 2009 when only 500.000 of Sweden's citizens were using this type of service.
In 2011 New Zealand enacted copyright legislation to block illegal file-sharing, and VPNs could become a safe alternative for sharing both illegal and legal digital content.
Purevpn said in a statement:
"For those you who want to use P2P file sharing for legal and personal purposes (and not for any illegal activities), we recommend using VPN service to change your IP location. Choosing a secure VPN connection would enable people to share files in a more secured way. The problem is, and always will be when it comes to holding an alternate IP address, it will be even more difficult to trace down the offender who uses the internet secretly. In the end, the onus lies with the netizens to use the available internet services for legal purposes only and avoid illegal file sharing using VPN as well."
Despite these measures of keeping you safe while online, it's likely that the music industry will increase their efforts to stop piracy. They've already shifted their focus from going after individual file-sharers to scoping the services that facilitate copyright infringement.
"VPNs could become the next front in the battle against piracy," independent music analyst Mark Mulligan told BBC News.
Besides Sweden, the UK, Spain, Austria, Finland, Belgium, Denmark and Italy have joined the war against piracy and The Pirate Bay.

Majestic Connection Save the Date Magnets Very pleased with the ability to customize and create our cards. With plenty of options and fast shipping. We recieved exactly what we wanted. Great product!
Very Nice!
Majestic Connection Save the Date Magnets Everyone absolutely loved the magnets and the presentation was great!
Nice design, fast delivery.
Majestic Connection Save the Date Cards I love the design and the fast delivery. However, I was a little shocked at how small the cards were. Maybe it's me but I was assuming they would be regular 5x7. But overall, I was pleased with my save-the-date cards.
Beautiful Save the Dates!
Majestic Connection Save the Date Magnets Placing the order through magnet street was AMAZING! The design process was so easy! I tend to be very skeptical when I place orders online because I'm always afraid that what I designed would look different in person. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the colors I chose and approved online were the EXACT colors in person. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the magnet as well as the photos. All of our guests loved our save the dates. I also loved the case they came in. It was a very nice gift! I am looking forward to order our wedding invitations with Magnet Street.
Exactly what I was looking for!
Lace Country Save the Date Magnets I am very satisfied with my save the date magnets! They are the perfect size and match our theme perfectly! I searched a lot of websites before I found these, as I just couldn't find anything that fit my style for my budget. I was also extremely impressed with how quickly they responded to my custom changes to the design (1 business day). They arrived in a beautiful box that I will definitely be using even after my wedding. The magnets themselves were even prettier than I thought they were going to be!

Apple brings Beatles to iTunes
The Fab Four's 13 studio albums and several compilations are now available for downloading.
The company announced Tuesday that its iTunes Store now carries music by the Beatles.
music retailer.
Apple shares were off 1% to $303 in morning trading. The shares are up nearly 46% this year and hit an all-time high of $331.30 on Nov. 9.
The Beatles deal resulted from talks that were taking place as recently as last week among executives of Apple, representatives of the Beatles and their record label, EMI Group, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
The agreement represents a watershed in a fraught, decades-long relationship between two of the biggest icons in their respective fields.
The two sides have traded lawsuits since 1978, when the Beatles alleged that the computer maker, then known as Apple Computer, infringed on the band's trademark.
That's because the Beatles in 1968 created a wholly owned entity called Apple Corps Ltd., which acted as an arts-promotion company and owned Apple Records. Though EMI retained ownership of the Beatles recordings, the Apple logo was printed on their albums.
Terms of the deal that brought the Beatles music to iTunes could not be learned.
The Journal wasn't sure how much the addition of the Beatles' library might mean to iTunes' sales. The iTunes store saw sales of $4.1 billion in the 2009-10 fiscal year, up roughly 23% from a year ago. The business represents about 8% of total revenue and is roughly 70% the size of Barnes & Noble (BKS).
The Beatles' arrival in the digital age comes late compared with that of most other major acts. The group was also a latecomer to the CD era, waiting until 1987 to issue their main body of work on CDs. Most other groups had moved to CDs earlier in the 1980s, the Journal noted.
Their music was held back again until 2009 before remastered CDs were issued with improved sound quality.
While recorded-music sales have plummeted, the Beatles have remained very good business. In 2009, 39 years after breaking up, they sold the third-highest number of albums of any act in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, with 3.3 million copies.
In the past decade, the Beatles sold the second-highest number of albums of any artist, trailing Eminem by 2 million units. Since Soundscan was founded in 1991, the Fab Four have sold the second-highest number of albums. Only Garth Brooks has sold more.

The costs of medical health care are increasing all the time. Governments are finding it difficult to balance the health care budget.
Should citizens be totally responsible for their own health costs and take out
private health insurance, or is it better to have a comprehensive health care
system which provides free health services for all? Discuss.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
A much debated issue these days is whether government should take responsibility on providing free health services for all citizens or for individuals to take out their own private health insurance premium, as the advancement of medical equipment and new treatments come along with the increasing cost for newer treatments options. In this essay, I will discuss about who should take the main responsibility for medical service.
Firstly, those who can afford to pay for health insurance premiums should at their own expenses protect themselves from unforeseen circumstances such as accidents or illnesses. By paying for their private health insurance, they are insured to paying lesser or even nothing at all when incident occurs. In addition, the health insurance they pay usually entitles them to choosing their own doctors or preferred hospitals.
On the other hand, subsidy from the government should be provided to those who earn lesser and those suffering from chronic illnesses as a form of relief from the high expenses of treatments. For example, a lung cancer treatment usually stretches over a long period of time and costs a lot.
In conclusion, those who can afford paying for health insurance should take responsibility to insure themselves from the high cost of medical services when needed. Subsidy should be provided to citizens who earn lesser so that they can receive equal quality of treatment in order for them to get back to the workforce.
Some points:
- 236 words only. 14 words short of the required
- equipment never has an –s-.
- Modifiers SHOULD be placed nearest the word/words they modify. Thus:
On the other hand, subsidy from the government should be provided to those who earn lesser and those suffering from chronic illnesses as a form of relief from the high expenses of treatments.

Pakistan may have a starring role in Kathryn Bigelow\'s \"Zero Dark Thirty\", which dramatises the 10-year CIA hunt for the 9/11 mastermind, but local cinemas are steering clear of a film they say could make people feel humiliated.
Similarly, a local cable distributor is blocking transmission of the smash hit dramas \"Homeland\", starring
Claire Danes, and \"Last Resort\" on the grounds they are against the national interest.
The boycotts are the latest form of unofficial censorship in the conservative country, where YouTube has been blocked for four months over a trailer for an American film considered offensive to Muslims.
\"Zero Dark Thirty\" has topped the box office charts in the US and earned five Oscar nods. But in Pakistan, the raid to kill bin Laden is considered one of the blacker incidents in the country\'s history.
A US Navy SEAL team killed the Al-Qaeda chief in his hideout less than a mile from Pakistan\'s premier military academy on May 2, 2011, embarrassing Pakistani leaders who insisted bin Laden was dead and exposing its military to accusations of incompetence or collusion with Al-Qaeda.
\"We have not and neither has anyone else bought Zero Dark Thirty,\" said Mohsin Yaseen, a representative for film distribution company Cinepax.
He described the film as \"pro-American\", despite controversy in the United States over its depictions of so-called \"enhanced interrogation techniques,\" widely seen as torture.
\"It has several scenes which could make us feel humiliated. It is against the interests of Pakistani nation,\" said Yaseen.
The chairman of the Film Censors Board told AFP it had not reviewed \"Zero Dark Thirty\" because there had been no request to do so.

Fusarium head blight (FHB) or head scab of wheat can cause significant yield loss, and damaged grain is often contaminated with the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON), commonly known as vomitoxin. The disease is best managed through a combination of variety resistance and timely applications of fungicides when weather conditions elevate the risk of disease development. In recent years, there has been considerable effort to predict the risk of FHB and the need for fungicide applications in wheat.

solarmetronome replied to your post: Remind me later to rant about the lack of faith-free alcoholics' support groups in my city
I wish there were faith-free cities. That'd be nice.
Well, that runs into all sorts of problems, the same as having a city mandated as all-catholic or all-jewish.
Just the same, I wish that "surrendering yourself to a higher power" wasn't the core tenet of basically every support for alcoholics. I mean, I am pretty sure that if your life and your addictions are spiraling out of control, giving up even more of that control to anything is completely counter productive and can easily lead to exchanging a chemical addiction for a psychological one.
How about taking steps to seize control? For finding ways to deal with your stress and frustrations that don't include letting go of any sense that your actions are what lead to your consequences and not the influence of any outside forces.
I don't know exactly what happens in these programs but that a magical bearded dude is directly involved is the center of them is so many kinds of bullshit that I just can't even deal with it.
Edit: apologies to my friends who do have faith. You have your beliefs and I have mine and sometimes I just can't keep them to myself.
There are some secular alternatives to AA, they just aren't nearly as popularized; in part due to efforts by AA to disavow organizations that try to provide secular alternatives. They often aren't even based on the arbitrary, baseless 12-step system at all, which even beyond the unnecessary spiritual aspect is simply horrible with how it stigmatizes the addiction. It puts the person in the mindset that the slightest backslide will destroy every bit of their progress; that the person is ruled not just by a higher power, but by their addiction itself too even after they've overcome it.
Secular Organizations for Sobriety
(Also it turns out that recovery programs without a spiritual component are actually more effective at staving off depression and anxiety than programs with a spiritual component, according to a 2009 study.)
Edit: You know, I should have checked your post that that was a reply to first, I didn't notice that it was about the lack of such in your city specifically. Sorry :/

Tumblr I would like to introduce you to a good friend of mine.
I understand that many people want to help their followers out with valuable information. Sometimes this information is overblown, over-exaggerated, or simply false. A few might say, so? Might as well repost it just in case!
This isn't really a good way to think, because the false reports and information will clutter and overshadow the things we really need to be cautious of.
False stories that have been spread around on Tumblr (that I've seen):
Amber Alert ("IF SHE WAS YOUR LITTLE GIRL…")
Baby Car Seat Lure
112 as a magical dispatch connect number
Eggs thrown at cars by robbers to get them to stop
A minute of cynicism, time taken to look up the alert that apparently so desperately needs a signal boost, can prevent false information from being spread.
Basically: just look it up on Snopes, especially if it doesn't link to a news story.
To the Order,
Today, we have reached the Spire.
It is odd, the more that I am with these people, the more I can consider them as less as friends and more as a family. We have spent a vast amount of time journeying together, learning, and seeking our goal. To be quite honest, I do not know how such a mismatched group of adventurers came together.
A near-blind lizard woman who has more insight than any other.
A rouge who has taken to stealing a fellow adventurer's heart.
A fighter and warrior who is the most innocent and carefree of us all,
A gnoll alchemist who often seems sidetracked more by bones than potions.
A paladin who remains silent, leaving matters to settle themselves.
And myself, an Inquisitor, completely out of his element.
These people are quite something else.
We have fought giants, guided caravans, hunted the worst scourge imaginable, defeated monstrous acidic slimes, traveled into the depths of the earth, and fought with beasts most unnatural.
This quest seems to be taking its toll, though. I am not quite sure if we can succeed, or what we might do after we succeed. The Fates are often mysterious, and I wonder at what I may have to do before this is done.
A gnoll who wishes to bring back a fallen God.
Two lovers who may fight the future itself to ensure each other's safety.
An oracle who may try to change the path we walk upon.
A paladin, her own order and cause a mystery.
Any may attempt to change what is Fated, and I fear that I may have to strike one of my companions down, if worst comes to worst. I know their goals, I know their purposes, and I know they cannot be easily dissuaded. No, such passionate people will not rest until success is within their grasps. Admirable, but also frightening. Would it be better to fall upon my own blade rather than live with having hurt a member of my own group.
Not that we have much of a chance to even get that far.
This quest, this redemption seems like more of a suicide mission every passing moment. No one else seems as tense and worried about it as I. Perhaps they hide it well, perhaps they are trying to ignore it. All I know is that if I must live the remaining a hundred and twenty years of my life, having watched each of them cut down in battle, I will bear their oaths and stories of valor myself. If my memory of these brave individuals are all that remains of them in the end, so be it.
Our journey will resume shortly, and I shall attempt to provide more details in my next report. Many apologizes, but these thoughts are something which plagued me, which the Order mentioned such thoughts as Vital for one such as me.
May Order and Peace forever find you,
Not at the moment, no. In the future, maybe.
Time travel is already possible. In fact, it exists.
We do a great job of moving forward, just as we are doing now.
But think about this: If time travel could be accomplished one day in the future, then it will have always been possible. And those future travelers' ability to arrive in the moment we call today means that time travel could exist here, just not in the direction that you meant.
You're forgetting that many examples of time travel involve systems that only allow travel back to the instant the time machine was brought online.
(Also anyway either you can't change anything by going into the past or you need to do some sort of trickery with quasiprobability distributions to preserve unitarity)
Drew Carey on Pop My Culture #67. Fuck Ted, fuck Terry, fuck Golden-Road.net and their majority mouth-breathing congregation. Get out of your house, hands off of mouse/dicks, and live a little. (via fuckyeahgameshows)
If thinking that all necessities in life that a person requires to be a functional, well-feeling member of society (i.e. school, health-care and security through police and fire-fighters) should be free and run by the government without profit interest makes me a socialist.
I'd wear that banner proudly any day.
Total agreement.
Ok I started season 4 of Breaking Bad today. I'd heard that there was going to be more violence from here on out, but I figured it wouldn't be anything I couldn't handle.
One episode in and a certain scene left me legit traumatized. D=
Still gonna keep watching though, cause the show is awesome and all. I might ask Roger if there's anything I should watch out for in future episodes (he's also a big fan of the show =3), but I still don't want any spoilers!
I also started watching Twin Peaks today and it's really good so far! Also I had no idea until recently that it was by David Lynch. I'd been meaning to check out his work as well as this show, so I guess that worked out pretty well, lol.
I know exactly the scene you mean, and I know what you mean about it. Offhand, without going into spoilers, I can only offhand think of one other scene that has the same level of violence, but it's in the finale. I could be forgetting something, though.
Also, Twin Peaks is also awesome, but it does go somewhat downhill not far into the second season, after Lynch left the show. Stick with it, though, because it recovers immensely by the end of the season.
So we were talking about the gay rights debate. Yay, prop 8, gone! But nayway, they were talking about it going to the Supreme Court, but if it did, then the whole "you can't deny any group right for no good reason things" might not apply if they do not define the LGBT community as a group. Because some LGBT people date both genders, and it is not black and white.
I found this very disturbing. Not just because I think that you should be able to do what ever you want as long as you are not infringing on other people's rights, I think discriminating against people based on sexual orientation, and I have strong feelings about this, because being told by his family he was going to hell for being gay contributed to my friend's suicide and I want to live in a world where that is not acceptable.
But if are not defined as part of a group, then the 14th amendment does not protect your rights. And our government, which is pretty corrupt decides who is considered a group.
That scares me.
The 14th amendment doesn't say anything about groups, though. The relevant section:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
It refers only to citizens here, not protected groups. Any argument that "LGBT isn't actually a group, and so it doesn't need to receive equal protection" has no legal standing.
This is obviously photoshopped but still too darn epic not to share :P
I do not own nor did I translate this.
what if there are people who think hurricanes are sexist/transphobic because they're destructive and they're given female names
What about Andrew and Ivan
yeah they alternate it
one year it'll be a female name and then a male name and then another female name
and the next year it'll be a male name then a female name then another male name and so on
they have a big list of names every year too
they go according to the alphabet
i am looking too much into this
The yearly lists run in repeated cycles, too, since most named tropical storms never amount to much. When a given storm does major destruction its name is retired and replaced on that list with a new one. So there'll never be another Katrina but other storms from Katrina's year that didn't do anything will have their names repeated eventually. IDK why I didn't know that until recently; I thought they had to come up with new names every year and wondered why they still had relatively traditional ones to use.
I can't wait until we run out of traditional names and then have to start using weird names like celebrities do.
I want to be there for Hurricane Kal-el (that is what Nick Cage's son's name is, no lie.)
I think maybe you misread something, Bailey. We won't run out of traditional names because they only retire one when it's associated with a major or significant storm; otherwise there's a repeated cycle they do every few years.
Beyond that, there's separate names for each region of the ocean as well, not all with names from the US. Other countries contribute names too, which are then used in alphabetical order.
guys guys guys guys 'Watching The Clock' is fucking AMAZING
and let's face it you have no idea what it's about
OKAY so if you've seen the Star Trek DS9 episode 'Trials and Tribble-ations' it's about those two killjoys who interrogate Sisko about the events of the episode
and it turns out they're actually really fucking awesome
and so is everyone they work with
and the book itself has a lot to do with time travel without being totally confusing and full of plot holes
in fact everything works out as far as I can tell, which is impressive seeing as the guy who wrote it factored in pretty much EVERY TIME TRAVEL INCIDENT IN STAR TREK

and every character is treated with respect and basically I adore all of them so you're lucky this post isn't just 'aksjbdAKLSBFajanflkjdbaBABIES'
I mean seriously
do you know how wonderful it is to have a female character be rejected by the male character she's in love with and ACCEPT IT and MOVE ON and continue to work with him without being all Nice Guy about it? And then they're adorable friends and <333333333333333333

Also BCC means "blind carbon copy" :O
Don't forget, my stream of Umineko EP5 will resume today no earlier than 12:30 PM EST/5:30 PM GMT!
Every single time someone makes a post about how all m/m is fetishizing and anyone who writes it is a cesspool of internalized misogyny I just have to laugh. There are definitely some problematic aspects of m/m slash and definitely some people who do (some admittedly) fetishize m/m relationships. If you do the stuff on this list, you should probably check yourself. Hard.
- Do you tell everyone that you hope your children are gay men so you can ship them with their friends?
- Do you ignore and/or vilify the lady characters?
- Do you ignore the men of color because you think only white men are attractive and interesting?
- Do you ship two attractive white dudes, and only two attractive white dudes, in everything?
- Have you ever asked who the woman is in a relationship between two men? Do you designate a male character the "woman" in the relationship? This is not okay because the whole like, point of a relationship between two gay dudes is that we are, you know, dudes.
- Do you call gay men in relationships that are not part of the yaoi subgenre "seme" and "uke"? On that note, do you make a huge deal out of stuff like "Who tops?" This is a really silly thing to do! Some gay men who have anal have a preference one way or another, some don't. Sexual preferences are not always dictated by personality traits, either! Some men who paint their nails prefer to top, and some lumberjacks prefer to bottom.
- Do you put anal sex on a pedestal as the only kind of "real" sex two men can have? A lot of gay men don't even have anal sex.
- Do you think that "true love" is between two men because ladies are gross?
- If there is a feminine male character who shows canon interest in women, have you decided that he has to be gay?
- Do you say that you are a "gay man in a woman's body"? Please stop saying that. Queer trans* men are, you know, literally gay men in bodies perceived to be female, and they have to face a pretty fair amount of adversity for that! Claiming to be a gay man in a woman's body because you like to read and write about gay men is trivializing that. Please don't do it.
- Do you see a picture of two gay men walking down the street and freak out about it? I mean, like, we do that. We do stuff! We're people. We do things like walk down the street and eat food. There's no reason to make a huge deal out of that!
If you answered no to these questions, then I am pretty sure you don't need to check yourself. I don't think anyone with a lick of sense is going to argue that there is a lot of misogyny in fandom, internalized or otherwise. But occasionally enjoying m/m is not an infallible indicator of internalized misogyny.
A lot of people who enjoy m/m and f/f are, you know, queer people. Queer men, queer women, queer non-binary folks. It is not fetishizing for queer folks to want to read and write about queer people. Whenever this argument comes up, we are always the ones left out. It is always a strongly worded letter to the Evil Fangirls.
It is entirely possible for a lady, queer or otherwise, to write respectful fanfiction about gay men that normalizes gay relationships. This actually like, happens a lot. While I don't think there's anything wrong with being shallow as long as your version of shallow doesn't exclude marginalized groups, I am pretty sick of seeing ladies who like m/m in any aspect being repeatedly dismissed as a bunch of screaming and woman hating fangirls unable to think critically about material. What was that about misogyny again?
Distant memories that breach at the most unexpected times, like an ancient whale coming up for air after a hundred-year meditation. Suddenly I remember. It all comes back to me in a single instant:
It started with the sickness.
Gray clouds blanket the sky, the smell of the ocean on the wind, carrying salt. I am no older than six or seven. I've been sick for almost two weeks, wracked nightly with nightmares of a man with a blurred face. I can't stop coughing, mucus coming from my lungs black as tar. My eyes are bloodshot and there's a constant, hollow din in my ears. I've been to the doctor—multiple doctors—but no one knows what's wrong with me. Probably just a bug. Lots of rest, lots of fluid. But I throw up half of everything I eat and I'm growing thinner and thinner, my ribs protruding from my chest like the teeth in a grin.
The next time this happens, hit the HTML button in the edit window, and remove the <p> tags from around the <!— more —>. That's the reason for that problem every time I've had it, and it always seems to fix it. Not sure what causes it exactly; something about cursor positioning, I think. Especially if you're sticking one into a post you've already written up.
With the default 'faceless' I go "Oh hey, I didn't know Idran was into this"
Idran's avatar should be the 'information point' icon. ._.
LOL omg same! I'm always like that idran, he's everywhere
How weird is it that I do this too
"Wait when did I post th- oh."
Anti-femme culture (and feminists aren't immune to this) thinks the effort put into femme presentation is a waste of time and energy – or, at the very least, time and energy that could have been spent doing something more important. Anti-femme culture thinks 'pretty' probably means 'dumb' even when struggling against a culture obsessed with an impossibly narrow beauty standard. Anti-femme culture thinks you can't do math AND do your nails.
We are humans! We contain multitudes! I do not think it is a problem that teenaged girls are interested in experimenting with presentation via fashion; I think it's ridiculous and misogynist that they are ONLY encouraged to do that – and that boys don't have the same freedom of expression."—
The Rotund by Marianne Kirby (via ellielamothe)
This! Fashion is a very female-centered art form, but it is still an art form. It boils down to misogyny that it's considered shallow by so many.
(via sanityscraps)
This pattern — women can dress like men, but men don't dress like women — suggests that there is, in fact, something demeaning, ridiculous, or subordinating about presenting oneself to the male gaze. Most men feel stupid, gross, or vulnerable when they do it. This isn't just about conformity to different gendered expectations. If it were just about difference women would feel equally weird dressing in men's clothes. Instead, when women adopt masculine ways of dressing and moving, they often feel empowered.
So, when men do femininity they feel ridiculous and when women do masculinity they feel awesome. This is what gender inequality looks like."—via Sociological Images (via aminamithri)

This is the first book in a wonderful series! I read the second and third first but they all stand alone well. It's a Regency period mystery and I admit, I didn't know there was a regent appointed during the reign of mad King George III. Very interesting historical info, believable characters and well written.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Martin Perez won his sixth straight start and the Texas Rangers moved back into first place in the AL West with a 5-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.
The A's won the opener of this three-game series on Labor Day to pull even atop the division, but Oakland's four-game winning straight came to an end as Perez (9-3) gave up just one run on eight hits over seven effective frames.
"Everytime he goes out there, it's another experience," said Texas manager Ron Washington about Perez. "I just think we need to let him continue to grow and whatever expectations come up on him, let him put it on himself."
Jurickson Profar went 2-for-3 with a run scored and another drive in, while Alex Rios and Mitch Moreland both added solo homers for the Rangers, who will turn to Yu Darvish in Wednesday's key rubber match opposite Jarrod Parker.
A's starter Bartolo Colon (14-6) lasted just five innings after allowing eight hits and four runs, though only one was earned.
"It's not like they knocked him around," said Oakland manager Bob Melvin. "Quite a few bloop hits, hit the one home run."
The only run Oakland managed came in the first inning when Coco Crisp led off with a double and eventually scored on Jed Lowrie's sacrifice fly.
Moreland's blast in the fourth -- his 22nd of the year -- evened things, and Colon's error with one out in the fifth opened the door for Texas' three-run frame.
Craig Gentry reached first on the miscue and came around on a Profar double. Profar moved to third on Ian Kinsler's base hit, and a run-scoring groundout from Adrian Beltre followed by a flare into short center from A.J. Pierzynski gave the Rangers a 4-1 cushion.
Oakland's Josh Donaldson made a highlight-reel catch in foul territory in the sixth as he drove near the stands and caught David Murphy's fly ball while falling between the tarp and the front row.
The cheers stopped when Rios took Jesse Chavez deep in the eighth, and Joe Nathan followed up Tanner Scheppers' scoreless inning of relief with one of his own in the ninth.
Texas assured itself a winning road record for a third consecutive seasons, a
team first ... The Rangers have allowed five runs or less in 30 consecutive
games, the AL's best streak in the designated hitter era ... The last Texas
pitcher to win six consecutive starts was Kenny Rogers, who won eight in a row
from April 27-June 5, 2005 ... Pierzynski tied the MLB record for most
consecutive seasons with 100 or more games caught at 13, joining Bill Dickey,
Johnny Bench and Brad Ausmus ... Colon has lasted five innings or less in
each of his last four outings ... Oakland had its streak of 15 straight games
with a home run come to an end.

A well-known valley restaurant was gutted by an early morning fire. Now everyone from employees to long-time customers is mourning the loss of this Pete's Fish and Chips location.
It's been called the best little greasy spoon in town and a beloved little fish and chips joint, which makes last night's fire so tough to deal with for people who call Pete's home.
By the looks of the building on the outside, it seemed like business as usual for Pete's Fish and Chips. This fixture on Van Buren east of 27th Avenue has fed the masses for a quarter century, but an overnight fire gutted the Phoenix restaurant leaving little behind on the inside.
The regulars were almost moved to tears. One woman told us she eats there every morning after dropping off her daughter.
"I've been delivering bread here for nine years so I've seen it, I was coming to eat today actually," said Augie Munoz, Pete's vendor.
Marisol Meneses said in Spanish, "It's part of the community, it's a place people go to all the time. Truly sad."
We talked to loyal customers who told us just what it was that kept people coming back for decades and it's a secret.
"It's the sauce," said Jesus Islas.
With seven other valley locations, it isn't the end of Pete's by any means. The level of popularity is 65 years in the making.
Phoenix Fire is investigating the blaze but for now -- boarded up doors and windows remind the neighbors their Pete's is gone.
"It's crazy I was really shocked as I pulled in. I love the people here they're always nice and the food's great. I'm honestly shocked I'm going to have to go find another one," said Islas.
No word on the cause of the fire and we don't know if Pete's will rebuild at that specific location or not.
Pete's Fish and Chips was started by the Grant family. They're devastated by the loss and did not want to talk on camera.

Many party boats prefer to fish very heavy lead weights instead of diving planers like the Deep Six when fishing lines very close together in a tight spread. Sometimes running up to 32- or 48-ounces of lead (2 or 3 pounds!) to stay in the strike zone, the last thing an angler wants to do is fight both the lead weight and the fish. Luhr-Jensen Sinker Releases are spring loaded. When a fish strikes, the force they place on the line releases the weight, and the angler is free to fight the fish unencumbered. Available in three sizes- 001 (1-2 lb. tension release), 002 (3-4 lb. tension release) and 003 (5-7 lb. tension release).

TOWN OF BERGEN, Wis (WSAU) A home in the Town of Bergen was heavily damaged by fire on Sunday afternoon. When Mosinee firefighters arrived on the scene around 3:30 the home on Lakehurst Road already had smoke and flames coming through the windows and roof. Firefighters from Kronenwetter and Dewey were called to assist. It took several hours to put it out.
No one was home at the time, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
A detached garage and a truck parked in the driveway were also damaged.

Sara Bareilles ' song "Brave" got an unexpected boost when Katy Perry 's "Roar" came out a few months later and people felt they sounded similar. Now, the songs are competing in the same category -- Best Pop Solo Vocal Performance -- at this weekend's Grammy Awards. Sara reveals that her reaction to the controversy wasn't one of anger, but disappointment.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times , Sara says, "To be totally honest, I was really disappointed. If anyone knows me at all, my platform and my messaging is positive. It was all really misguided, especially on social media."
She adds, "It really bothers me. It feels like especially among women, there's this idea that there's supposed to be competition. I'm supposed to hate what Katy has and vice versa, when I really believe there is room enough for everybody."
"What she does is so different from what I do. Why can't we both sing songs that make people feel good and still be friends at the end of the day?" says Sara. In fact, the two singers are friends, and there was no animosity between them over the "Brave"/"Roar" controversy. Sara also acknowledges the impact it had on "Brave's" profile.
"All of that…felt like a gift. It was only good for my song. It made people listen to it or rediscover it. It's only a good thing as an artist who is in contemporary culture to be in the same sentence with Katy Perry. It's all helpful," she says.
Ultimately, both Sara and Katy ended up with two Grammy nominations apiece, though Sara received one in the prestigious category of Album of the Year, for her current disc The Blessed Unrest . The inclusion of her album in the category surprised many, and Sara tells the Times , "I think my ego-self might feel slightly offended by how shocked everyone was. But if I'm going to be really real about it, I was just as surprised."
"I'm not going to diminish the experience by telling myself in some way I don't deserve it," she says. "It's an incredible thing, and I'm going to celebrate it."
In addition to being a nominee, Sara will also perform at the Grammy Awards this Sunday with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carole King. Tune in this Sunday night on CBS, starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Community emerging as theme after Newtown shootingBy PAT EATON-ROBB
The Associated Press | February 18,2013AP PHOTO
Monsignor Robert Weiss, who officiated at the funerals of eight children following the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, stands in front of a makeshift memorial at St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Newtown, Conn. Rev. Weiss says hes seen estranged families reconciling, strangers hugging on the street and neighbors meeting neighbors for the first time.NEWTOWN, Conn. Ian and Nicole Hockley lived across the street from Adam Lanza, but they never got to know him or his family before the 20-year-old gunman killed their young son and 25 other people inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
In the weeks since the Dec. 14 shooting in Newtown, the couple said they have wondered whether more community involvement in Lanzas life might have prevented the bloodshed.
If I had reached out to them, would things have been different? I dont know, Nicole Hockley said. I do have a regret there, without a doubt. But would it have made a difference? I will never know.
Coming together has been a popular theme at vigils and concerts held in tribute to the 26 people killed inside the schoolhouse. For some of the families who lost loved ones, a renewed focus on community would be a silver lining to the tragedy.
The Hockleys are among the families working with Sandy Hook Promise, a local grass-roots group dedicated to the idea that community members could support each other and turn tragedy into a moment of transformation.
Tim Makris, a co-founder of the group, said it has been facilitating community meetings, meetings with other communities that have been involved in gun violence, and meetings with groups on different sides of the political debates on such issues as gun control. He said everyone agrees the bloodshed should not have happened, and that is a starting point.
We are creating a dialogue and different thinking, and therefore common ground, he said.
The parents of another shooting victim, Chase Kowalski, have started a foundation in the hope of building community centers in his honor, first in Newtown, and then in other communities.
We would like to see families get back to core family values, Rebecca Kowalski told WTIC-AM. Its not about dropping your kid off at some place to play. Its about going with your child and playing with that child and being an intricate part of their lives.
Lanza has been described as a loner who lived with his divorced mother and enjoyed playing violent video games. He killed Nancy Lanza inside their home, shot his way into the school on Dec. 14, gunned down 20 first-graders and six educators, according to investigators.
The Hockleys, whose 6-year-old son, Dylan, was killed, have since moved to another neighborhood in Newtown.
They said they and others are now more focused on getting to know the people around them.
This community has pulled tighter together and responded in helping not only the 26 families, but the survivors and the first responders, and just neighbors, Nicole Hockley said. The way they are all reacting to each other, that isnt a short-term change. Its one horrible, tragic event, but its not destroying this place. Its showing how perhaps we could have been more before, but also how we should continue to be going forward.
Monsignor Robert Weiss of the St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church said hes seen estranged families reconciling, strangers hugging on the street and neighbors meeting neighbors for the first time. Weiss, who officiated at the funerals of eight children killed in the shooting, said he hopes that can be a legacy of the tragedy.
The civility of this society is really disappearing, he said. I would like to go back to a gentler time. Life is hard; its harsh. If in our everyday activities we are just so cruel and harsh to each other, how is that going to take us anywhere?
The Hockleys said they also feel it is important, especially as people begin debating issues such as gun control, for people to put aside personal agendas and try to find common ground.
There hasnt always been a lot of respectful conversations taking place, and Im disappointed by that, Nicole Hockley said. Wed like people to honor the Sandy Hook promise by listening more before jumping in.
Ian Hockley said he believes the world is watching to see how Newtown rises from the shooting.
We want to be a part of that, he said. I want people to come back in a years time and see what weve become. Because, they were here at our very worst and to see the town in a years time, what will change in terms of community and what we will build.

Hierarchical Alignment of Timelines part of Cutting Edge:Rates and Time:Teaching Activities
In the hierarchical alignment activity students progressively and hierarchically align scale information to a spatial linear representation. The progressive alignment of scales may alleviate the conceptual dissimilarity between human scales and extreme scales by providing greater structural alignment across changes of scale. The hierarchical organization highlights how each temporal scale is related to the others, helping to populate each scale with boundary information by providing internal structure of magnitude relations within event boundaries.
