He should sue the Royals for compensation
from the bbc's report on a fainted pageboy (no rude suggestions please – however helpful) during mrs queen's speech:
'The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, who were sat nearest to the boy, showed concern as help was called to assist him and he was carried out of the chamber.'
gosh – that was big of them – and they allowed the rest of us to know it?
What would you want them to do? Release a charity single?
Pull out magnums and start capping motherfuckers so that "this kind of thing will never happen again"?
Notice from the Palace:
Their Royal Highnessess will be releasing a Charity single and starting a 'Justgiving' twitter account, besides staging a Live Aid concert, to assist in the payments to assorted psychiatrists and homeopathic loons, that need to be made regarding their Royal Highnessess trauma at seeing the page boy topple.

Trademark clip got him going
Swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag slammed Sachin's record of highest ODI individual score (200*) with his masterly 219 on December 8, 2011. In case you missed it, here is a quick recap of the best ODI knock of all time. Sehwag was at his imperious best and there was no stopping him at Indore. It started off with a boundary off the first ball of the second over and it never really ended. Take a bow Viru. Today, a year after the historic knock, we at MSN India have picked some of the big moments from the wonderful knock that came about at Indore and packaged it in a way you can savour it for a lifetime. Here we go
It all started in the first ball of the second over when Sehwag clipped Ravi Rampaul to the boundary. The lightening fast outfield just added to the glorious timing of the Sehwag willow.

Tortilla Española (egg and potato omelet) is a classic comfort food in every Spanish home. Simple and delicious, it can be served hot from the pan, or later as a cold snack or tapa.
The only challenge in making a tortilla is during the last stage when you need to flip over the tortilla in the frying pan and slide it back into the pan while keeping it intact.
This beautiful ceramic plate is designed to make the process very easy. When the tortilla is slightly browned on the bottom, slide it from the pan onto the ceramic turner (which is easily held by its pedestal), place the empty pan directly over it and flip the contents back into the pan, with the uncooked part on the bottom.
Finally, when it is the right time, just flip the tortilla from the frying pan onto the tortilla platter, which now becomes a festive hand painted serving plate, which you can place directly on your table -- the pedestal bottom displays your golden treat. Slice your creation into pie shaped wedges and serve. (Food safe, lead free, hand wash.)
As each piece is hand painted in El Puente del Arzobispo, a small town made famous for its ceramics. The designs and colors of each platter will vary slightly, as with any hand painted piece.
This piece is lead free and safe for food. Hand wash.

Basildon /ˈbæzɪldən/ is the largest town in the borough of Basildon in the county of Essex, England.[2]
It lies 25 miles (40 km) east of Central London[3] and 11 miles (18 km) south of the city of Chelmsford. Nearby smaller towns include Billericay to the north, Wickford northeast and South Benfleet to the east. It was created as a new town after World War II in 1948 to accommodate the London population overspill,[4] from the conglomeration of four small villages, namely Pitsea, Laindon, Basildon and Vange. The new town took the name Basildon as it was the most central of the four.
The local government district of Basildon, which was formed in 1974 and received borough status in 2010, encapsulates a larger area than the town itself; the two neighbouring towns of Billericay and Wickford, as well as rural villages and smaller settlements set among the surrounding countryside, fall within its borders. Basildon Town is one of the most densely populated areas in the county.
Some of Basildon's residents work in Central London due to the town being well connected in the county to the City of London and the Docklands financial and corporate headquarters districts, with a 36-58 minute journey from the three Basildon stations to London Fenchurch Street.[5] Basildon also has access to the City via road, on the A127, and A13.

The first historical reference to Basildon is in records from 1086. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as 'Belesduna'.[6] The name 'Basildon' may be derived from the Anglo-Saxon personal name 'Boerthal' and the Anglo-Saxon word 'dun', meaning hill.[7] In historical documents, this name had various forms over the centuries, including Berdlesdon, Batlesdon and Belesduna.[7]
Railway service started in the 19th century to Pitsea (1856) and Laindon (1888) but it was only later that proposals to provide service to the new town of Basildon, shelved for many years because of concerns that it would simply become a commuter suburb of London, were eventually forced through. A significant number of modern day residents do commute to London[citation needed].
By the beginning of the 1900s, Basildon had evolved with much of the land having been sold in small plots during a period of land speculation and development taking placed haphazardly with building by plot owners ranging from shelters created from recycled materials to brick-built homes and with amenities such as water, gas, electricity and hard-surfaced roads lacking.[8]
In the 1940s, Billericay Urban District Council and Essex County Council, concerned by lack of amenities in the area and by its development, petitioned the Government to create a New Town.[8] Basildon was one of eight 'New Towns' created in the South East of England after the passing of the New Towns Act.[9] On 4 January 1949 Lewis Silkin, Minister of Town and Country Planning, officially designated Basildon as a 'New Town'. Basildon Development Corporation was formed in February 1949 to transform the designated area into a modern new town. The New Town incorporated Laindon and Pitsea[9] and was laid out around small neighbourhoods with the first house being completed in June 1951.[8] The first tenants moved into homes in Redgrave Road in Vange.[10] An large, illuminated town sign "Basildon Town Centre Site" at 3.5 feet (1.1 m) was erected in 1956 by the railway and stood until early construction was completed.[11]
The first leader elected for the local government district in 1974 was Ryan O'Rourke.[citation needed] Unusually, since March 2010 Basildon has a miniature famous white Hollywood sign, reading "Basildon": at five feet tall, the new sign is one-ninth of the height of the Hollywood original. This was aimed "to bring the town into the 21st century and to attract more visitors"[12] by Basildon Enterprise Park, its full landscaping and infrastructure improvements funded by £400,000 from the Prescott-spearheaded Thames Gateway. Opponents from all parties believe spending could have been directed toward social problems.[11][13]
The constituency of Basildon was considered a barometer of public opinion in general elections.[14] The results of the constituency elections have been the same as the overall result of general elections since 1983.[15] Basildon was said to epitomise the working class conversion to Thatcherism during the 1980s, though the town did not vote Conservative in 1979. Nor did the Conservative Party ever hold an absolute majority in the town - its success was due to the split between the SDP and the Labour Party. "Basildon Man" or "Essex Man" was coined to describe an aspirational working class voter.[16] The current MP is Tory politician John Baron. Due to boundary changes, in the 2010 General Election the Basildon and Billericay constituency elected 1 MP and South Basildon and East Thurrock elected another MP. In terms of local politics Basildon District elects five Councillors to Essex County Council.[17] Following the 2009 Local Elections all five of these representatives are Conservative.[17] Noak Bridge has a parish council.[18]
The two main roads from London to Southend, the A13 and A127, pass to the south and north of the town respectively. Both are important commuter trunk roads, and also allow easy access to the M25 and the rest of the motorway network. Locally, the A13 gives access to Pitsea and Vange, and the A127 gives access to the town centre and Laindon.
Within the town are six main roads which link to and from the A13 and A127; all of them include 'mayne' in their names.
- Nether Mayne runs from the town centre to the A13 at Five Bells junction, just west of Vange.
- Upper Mayne runs from the town centre to the A127 in the northeast corner of Laindon. Both this road and Nether Mayne form part of the A176, which continues north to Billericay.
- South Mayne runs from Northlands Park to the A13 at Pitsea.
- East Mayne runs from Northlands Park to the A127 near Noke Wood. Both this road and South Mayne form part of the A132, which continues north to Wickford.
- Broadmayne runs from the town centre to Northlands Park, connecting the four aforementioned roads. It forms the A1321.
- West Mayne runs from the centre of Laindon to the A13 at Dunton Wayletts. It forms part of the B148, which continues east from Laindon to Upper Mayne.
The town has three stations on the London, Tilbury & Southend Line: Pitsea, Basildon and Laindon. All are served by c2c trains running between Fenchurch Street and Southend/Shoeburyness; trains serving Basildon and Laindon stations run via Upminster.

Most bus services are provided by First Essex, connecting the town to Billericay, Wickford, and other nearby towns.
Future transport plans[edit]
A127, Basildon Enterprise Corridor[edit]
As part of Basildon's redevelopment Essex County Council have proposed that the A127 undergo significant development at a cost of £15 million and is expected to be finished by March 2011[citation needed]. It is funded via the Community Infrastructure Fund (CIF). The majority of the work will take place at Noak Bridge, Fairglen and East Mayne.[19]
The town centre has many high street stores. As well as shops and coffee houses in East Walk, there is the Eastgate Shopping Centre which is also situated in the Town Centre, home to over 100 retailers[citation needed].
When Eastgate opened in 1985, it was the largest shopping centre in Essex, and one of the largest in the UK. According to the District Council, at this time Basildon town centre "had the most advanced indoor shopping centre anywhere". It was a novelty as there were no other malls nearby and as a result it became very busy. Eastgate comprises two giant anchor stores, a Debenham's (formerly Allders) and Asda's (formerly Sainsburys Savacentre). Eastgate has undergone a number of facelifts since 1985. Its most recent substantial refurbishment was in 2007, at a cost of more than £10m.
Further shopping facilities in the town can be found at Westgate Shopping Park, and there is also a pavement market selling fresh fruit and vegetables, and household goods.
There are several secondary schools in the Basildon district:
- Basildon Academies[20]
- Beauchamps School[20]
- Billericay School[20]
- Bromfords School[20]
- De La Salle School[20]
- James Hornsby School[20]
- Mayflower High School[20]
- New Campus Basildon Studio School[21]
- Woodlands School[20]
Basildon also has three FE colleges:
South Essex College which is currently based on Nethermayne by Basildon Hospital (planned to move to Town Centre 2016). New Campus Basildon - part of SEEVIC and based in Northgate House & Church Walk. Procat - formerly Prospects College based at Pipps Hills
Basildon's twin towns include:
Regeneration plans[edit]
Throughout Basildon there are major developments planned estimated to total nearly £2 billion.[24] These include:
- The regeneration of Basildon, Pitsea and Laindon town centres.
- A new "Sporting Village" and improvements to playing pitches and sports facilities throughout the District.
- The creation of a health and education research centre near Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital.
- Investment in the Basildon Enterprise Corridor, a large business area.
- The creation of a new wetland nature reserve in the Thames Marshes by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Land Restoration Trust, Basildon District Council and Veolia.
- A review of the district's housing, with investment in housing estates such as Craylands, Five Links and Felmores which will be re-designed to allow for less trouble and having more streets with roads, rather than a street with just pavement.
Society, leisure and popular culture[edit]
Festival Leisure Park is a trading leisure park located in the north of Basildon and owned by Aviva.[25] The Festival Leisure Park, includes several restaurants, a bowling and arcade centre, two hotels, an eighteen screen Empire cinema and two health clubs as well as the third largest nightclub complex in the UK. The Festival Leisure Park is colloquially known as "Bas Vegas", and is a well-known trouble spot, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, usually fuelled by alcohol.[citation needed]This name which was adopted by the organisation in charge of the new casino development, who used the slogan on signs welcoming people into Basildon by road.
A Wakeboarding complex recently opened in the town, attracting both professionals and amateurs alike[26]
In 1989 the culture and history of the town was documented by the newly re-opened Towngate Theatre, when it commissioned a community play from Arnold Wesker for the town's 40th anniversary. The potted history that Wesker called "Boerthal's Hill" was acted out by a 100 or so members of the community and portrayed a welcoming haven for visitors. Although it was generally positive in its view of the town, controversy arose where the play touched on the apparent racism of politicians throughout the 1970s.[citation needed]
The Borough has a number of leisure centres, including the Basildon Sporting Village, a multi-million pound project that opened in April 2011. It has a fifty metre swimming pool, fitness suite, athletics track and is home to the South Essex Gymnastics Club, a well regarded club where Olympian Max Whitlock trains. The centre attracted over one million visits in its first year of opening. It was also revealed in January 2014 that more people swim in Basildon than anywhere else in the county.
Basildon was indirectly referred to in a long-lasting hoax on Wikipedia. The article was about a nonexistent novel entitled The Fax Machine Monster of Basildon, which (according to the article) was just the first book of a (completely fake) series of horror novels about killer office equipment.
Modern architectural buildings[edit]
The town of Basildon currently has many modern architectural structures due to the town's economic growth.[citation needed] Basildon has many 'tall' structures and buildings in comparison to other New Towns that were constructed in the 1950s-1960s. One of Basildon's first tall buildings was 'Brooke House', a tall block of flats situated in the Basildon town centre. However, since the decline of trade in the town centre, many great business buildings have been constructed in central Basildon.[citation needed]
St. Martin's Church in Basildon Town Centre is a modern structure. The church was consecrated in 1962 by the Bishop of Chelmsford. A freestanding Bell Tower built in 1999 was opened by Her Majesty the Queen.[27]
Although there are a number of tall buildings in central Basildon, there are also many newly constructed buildings closer to the 'Basildon Enterprise Corridor' situated in North Basildon.[28]
Basildon has its own community radio station which is aimed towards the residents of Basildon, East Thurrock, and its surrounding areas called Gateway 97.8 which broadcasts from the Eastgate Shopping Centre.
Although Basildon is situated within the Essex Region, the Town generally receives the London television channels, such as BBC London, and ITV London. This is mostly due to the strong economic links between the Town and the City, and also with the Town being geographically close. ITV London & BBC London are the local television regions received in the town.

Even though Basildon is a new town there are still traces of its historical past viewable. Old roads that once connected the villages have been incorporated into the new town - Clay Hill Road, Timberlog Lane, Rectory Road, Pound Lane, Church ROad.
Other than St Martin's church, the historical parish churches still exist. St Nicholas sits proudly over Laindon and Basildon and can be seen clearly, however St Peter's at Nevendon is hidden behind Sainsburys and is little known by its residents.
Other buildings of note are the Barge Inn at Vange, and the Broadway at Pitsea with its mock tudor architecture.

Brian Werstak's 1994 Mercedes E500 Limited
Limited. the word can mean many things and unfortunately its usage in automotive nomenclature has been widely and pathetically abused. Used in an automotive context, the earliest association I muster goes back to the 1950s and the Ford Crown Victoria LTD.
The mind then races through many forgettable decades of regrettable products. Exactly what was "limited" there? Limited ability? Certainly. Limited availability? In most cases bountifully available, too much so even.
Then we were graced with the Limited Brougham. Argh! And what is a "Bro Ham" anyway?
A little known glimmer of hope for the use of "Limited" in autodom existed in 1994. While most any gearhead enthusi-nut gamer is versed with at least some proficiency in the Mercedes-Benz language of the W124 500E/E500 (or better be), adding the suffix "Limited" escalated its otherwise übersedan wundercar into an even higher echelon of awesomeness. Produced for the Swiss market beginning late 1993, Mercedes set aside 500 of its crown jewel E500s for further enhancement. The effort resulted in a W124 swan song-the E500 Limited. Of the 500 produced, Mercedes bestowed 12 examples with an E60 designation coupled with a 381-hp 6.0-liter, making them the most limited of the Limiteds. None were exported to North America.
Subtle distinctive touches defined the Limited; it was available in two exterior colors, Sapphire Black or Diamond Silver. A rather avant-garde Roser leather interior that would have made Andy Warhol proud was utilized. An almost airbrushed appearance, the Recaro seat centers and door cards offered a striking refraction-of-light motif with matching steering wheel sections, gearshift lever, and vehicle documentation wallet.
Love it or hate it, there was no denying the panache that suits the Limited-its effect was something to behold. Black cars received either gray or green (!) interiors, and silver cars either gray or red. The gray featured navy blue outer sections complimenting the centers and was rather appealing with a smart eu de cool about it. Further distinguishing the Limited experience, burr walnut or black bird's eye maple interior trim exuded exclusivity, while the exterior was complemented with 17-inch Evo II six-spoke polished wheels.
The Limited was a regal tribute to a masterful symbiotic creation-Porsche has yet to corroborate with another manufacturer to this extent since. Mercedes trucked W124-series bodies-in-white from its Sindelfingen factory to Zuffenhausen, where Porsche minions bestowed their chassis/suspension/motor/gearbox Zen upon them. They punched out the transmission tunnel to accommodate a 928-sourced four-speed, fitted massively flared front fenders, and boxed out the rear quarters and doors to match. The front seats sit a couple inches further apart to straddle the monster box even. The Limiteds returned to Mercedes for paint, then again to Zuff for Porsche's dastardly hands to massage and install the SL500-sourced M119 engine and tune the suspension. With more than 4,500 unique parts, each car took 18 days to birth, versus three for the pedestrian W124. From 1991 to '94, about 10,500 examples resulted from this veritable ping pong amongst giants, with 1,505 or so finding homes in the United States from '92 to '94. The net result for model year '92 was a 322 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque 'bahnstormer with 50/50 weight distribution. Though the aluminum 5.0-liter threatened to burst the engine bay seams, it was a mere 18 pounds heavier than the iron straight-six it replaced. Horses and torques dropped slightly for U.S. cars in '93 and '94 due to emissions controls, but still hammered out an impressive 315 hp and 347 lb-ft.

Caroline Wozniacki, Queen Of New Haven
Published August 27, 2011 12:00
NEW HAVEN, CT, USA - Either it was her finding her groove again or her opponent running out of steam, or a combination of the two - but in the end it didn't matter, as Caroline Wozniacki broke away from 4-all in the first set and cruised past Petra Cetkovska to claim her fourth straight title in New Haven.
Watch match highlights courtesy of WTA LIve powered by TennisTV!
Having lost opening matches in Toronto and Cincinnati, Wozniacki, the No.1 player in the world, came to New Haven in search of match play, and it was a welcome return too - she had won here the last three years in a row and has always had a very special rapport with the public. Seeded No.1, she made it into her fourth straight final at the Premier-level event without losing a set.
Meanwhile, the bottom half of the draw was being turned upside down. Having completely dominated her three qualifying rounds and subsequently her first round match against Ayumi Morita, 26-year-old Czech Cetkovska began her assault on seeded players, first No.5 seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the second round then No.4 seed Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals, and in Friday's semifinals saving match point to beat No.2 seed Li Na, 62 57 76(9).
Cetkovska's dream week now saw her reaching her first career WTA final.
"If somebody told me that before this tournament, I don't think I would believe it," she jubilated. "But I'm still not done. There's one more match to play."
In Saturday's final, Cetkovska seemed to pick up right where she had left off against Li, going up a break twice early in the first set - but Wozniacki broke back both times, and from 4-all she was just too solid for an increasingly error-prone Cetkovska, winning eight of the next nine games for a 64 61 victory. She closed fast too - she won 11 of the last 12 points of the match.
"It was important for me to start well in the second set," Wozniacki said. "I just wanted to get a bit of a lead. Then I kept my focus and didn't let her back in."
Wozniacki is the first player in nine years to win the same WTA title four years running, the last player to do so being Venus Williams at this same event from 1999 to 2002. Wozniacki is now 17-0 lifetime at the New Haven Open at Yale.
"It's a great tournament for me. I love being back here, I said it before. I still can't really believe I've been here four times already," Wozniacki said. "I definitely feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I'm on a good roll. I'm looking forward to the Open.
"Venus is a great champion. And Navratilova has done this before, and Steffi Graf, from what I've heard. To be in that company is an amazing feeling. I haven't texted Venus yet. I'm sure I'll get a pep talk from her at the US Open."
The 21-year-old Dane is also the 21st player in WTA history to cross $10 million in career prize money. Serena Williams is the leader with $33,372,829.
Cetkovska, who was already at a career-high No.40 this past week, is projected to move into the Top 35 now. "I'm really happy to be here, to have gone so far in the tournament. Obviously I wanted to win, to do even better - but today it was just a little bit too much. Caroline is playing great - but I had a great week."
Earlier, No.3 seeds Chuang Chia-Jung and Olga Govortsova won the doubles title with a 75 62 win over Italians Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci. It was their first title together; Chuang now has 17 WTA doubles titles, Govortsova seven.
"I had my birthday here this week too so I guess it's a good present for me," said Govortsova, who turned 23 on Tuesday. "It seems CJ and I only play well at the end of the season, maybe we should just start at this time every year!"
"It has been a very good week and I hope we can continue this form at the US Open," said the 26-year-old Chuang, of Chinese Taipei.

- Being a Stormtrooper does have a downside: Helmet hair. It definitely explains their brutish behavior. This Star Wars t-shirt shows a way to alleviate some of their psychological suffering. The Stormtroopers have invited the Wookies of Kashyyyk to the Death Star barber shop, where the Stormtroopers will cut just a little bit of Wookie hair and then purposely nip their ear...offering an insincere apology. The Stormtroopers apparently never thought that while the Wookies were faced away from them, it might just be easier to shoot them in the back of the head.

PS G4: Flames at Oilers
Kirill Tulupov is fun and scary at the same time. It's like he's a cross between Darius Kasparitus and King Kong. Big, strong, possibly one brick short of a full load. Wow.
The Oilers have plenty of time to look at all of these kids, but the fact that Tulupov is getting a start this late in TC suggests that a contract is being considered by the organization. It's hard to know where he is on the current depth chart but the Oilers will play 12 defensemen this weekend and they have (by my count) 14 or 15 blue still in camp.
Here are the lines and pairings:
- RNH-Hall-Hartikainen
- Gagner-Jones-Keller
- Belanger-Green-Pitlick
- Lander-Tyrvainen-Martindale
- Barker-Tulupov
- Sutton-Gilbert
- Peckham-Petry
- Khabibulin-Danis
We shouldn't read too much into this, but Hartikainen and Tulupov seem to be getting a nice chance here and Gagner is perhaps being tested to see if he can create with lesser mates. It's all good and a chance to test the collective mettle of the group, doubly welcome after the yawner that took place the other night against Vancouver.
I'll check nhl.com after the game and post the TOI for D in the comments section.

Historically. Women have served their country in many ways.
Beginning with the American Revolution and continuing to the present, women have always volunteered in defense of our nation. Many of their contributions have been forgotten and are not recorded in today's history books. The Women's Memorial at Arlington Cemetery is changing this omission through a massive oral history and research project. Foundation Office of History & Collections collect official and personal records, oral histories, photographs, and other memorabilia to help portray women's record of service and citizenship. Growing collections include a library of nearly 1,000 books by and about military women, photograph and document archives, personal and military-issue artifacts, memoirs and oral histories. These considerable resources serve as a leading educational resource on Women in US Military History.
Over 24,000 women served in World War I half of whom were nurses in the Navy, Army, and Red Cross. An American Nurse at War DVD

This is 4 times the number of women sent to Desert Storm in 1991- and more than 430 have been wounded and over 70 killed. This is almost twice the number of U.S. military women killed in action in Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm combined.

Julian Assange Served With Extradition Notice By British Police
samzenpus posted more than 2 years ago | from the pack-your-bags dept.612
An anonymous reader writes "London's Metropolitan Police have delivered an 'Extradition Notice' to Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder, who sought refuge and political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London last week. Scotland Yard have said in a brief statement that 'the notice requires Julian Assange to attend a police station of our choosing at a set time.' SY also said, 'This is standard procedure in extradition cases and is the first step in the removal process. He remains in breach of his bail conditions and failure to surrender would be a further breach of those conditions and he is liable to arrest.' However, under international diplomatic arrangements, the British Metropolitan Police cannot actually go into the Ecuadorian embassy to arrest Mr Assange. Assange would have to leave the embassy to be lawfully arrested. This raises the following question of course: Is this the 'endgame' for Julian Assange as far as extradition is concerned? If the Ecuadorians fail to grant Assange political asylum, which is a possibility, will he be arrested by Metropolitan Police, and sent to Sweden to stand trial for two alleged counts of 'rape?' Will Sweden then hand Assange over to the United States, where many well known and quite senior politicians have publicly stated that they think 'Assange should be punished severely' for publishing confidential U.S. diplomatic cables on Wikileaks?"

Twenty-three years ago today, December 6, 1989, Marc Lépine murdered fourteen women and wounded ten women. He entered École Polytechnique de Montréal with a Ruger Mini-14 and a hunting knife for the purpose of "fighting feminism" by murdering the female engineering students there. He began his violence in a classroom where first he ordered the students to separate into men and women. He asked the female students in French if they knew why he had singled them out. One student answered no, and Lépine explained, "I am fighting feminism." Nathalie Provost attempted to defuse the situation: "Look, we are just women studying engineering, not necessarily feminists ready to march on the streets to shout we are against men, just students intent on leading a normal life." Lépine replied, "You're women, you're going to be engineers. You're all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists." He opened fire and killed six women. Lépine continued through the school, committing more murders and assaults (gun and knife). Finally he killed himself. Contained in his suicide note was a hit list of nineteen more Quebec women whom he considered feminist figures.
On December 6, we remember the women whom Marc Lépine killed:
Geneviève Bergeron (born 1968), civil engineering student
Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Barbara Daigneault (born 1967), mechanical engineering student
Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student
Maud Haviernick (born 1960), materials engineering student
Maryse Laganière (born 1964), budget clerk in the École Polytechnique's finance department
Maryse Leclair (born 1966), materials engineering student
Anne-Marie Lemay (born 1967), mechanical engineering student
Sonia Pelletier (born 1961), mechanical engineering student
Michèle Richard (born 1968), materials engineering student
Annie St-Arneault (born 1966), mechanical engineering student
Annie Turcotte (born 1969), materials engineering student
Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz (born 1958), nursing student
and the women who lived who suffered from his violence.
In response to the École Polytechnique massacre, Canada designated December 6 National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. On this day we also remember all violence against women: we call attention to partner abuse and violence against women which is especially overlooked, like the violence so many Aboriginal women face.
- Aboriginal women are almost three times more likely than non-Aboriginal women to report being the victim of a violent crime, including spousal violence.
- In 2009, close to two-thirds of Aboriginal female victims were aged 15 to 34. This age group accounted for just under half of the total female Aboriginal population over age 15 living in the 10 provinces.
- Among victims of spousal violence, six in 10 Aboriginal women reported being injured in the five years preceding the survey; the proportion was four in 10 among non-Aboriginal women.
- Over three-quarters of non-spousal incidents of violence against Aboriginal women are not reported to police.
National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
funny that men mock women going everywhere in groups
but we're not supposed to go out alone otherwise we might be blamed for our own rape, our own murder.
I left a big point out in my previous post, mostly because I was blogging from work ( shhh! don't tell. ).
When MRAs starting talking about father's rights, family law reform, etc. I want you to pay special attention to the things they say. You will notice a theme.
The theme is: controlling women. MRAs don't really want improved parental rights. What they want is another way to control and victimize women. I have seen these discussions over and over again.
Every time some bro whines because "What if I want to be a dad and she wants an abortion? I should be able to have a say!" What this translates to is, "I don't care what she wants. I don't care about her body, health, or life. I care about being able to force my wants on her."
Then there are those that will say, "Well, I'll take her to court if she won't let me X, Y, Z when it comes to my kid!" What this translates to is, "I can't be a mature adult and suggest we try to settle this dispute amicably. Instead, I will threaten her with expensive legal action that will take time away from her job and life."
All of this talk about how it's so unfair that a woman ( sorry that this is ciscentric. Not only women can have children. ) can decide to abort or that a woman is receiving child support payments. All of it is really buttfrustrated sexist, misogynistic little assholes upset over the fact that they can't control a woman's choices. So they use threats, emotional blackmail, unnecessary legal action, and other means to desperately try and control these women who DARE to try have some control over their own lives and the lives of their children.
Rarely do I see MRAs talking about the kids in these situations. It's ALWAYS about how unfair things are for men and what horrible, trickster, lying bitches women are.
That's how you can tell that MRAs don't really care about this shit. Because they don't even address the real issue: Being a parent means making the best decision for your child, even if it's something that you don't want to do. And threatening to use your children to hurt the other parent is always shitty and always the sign of someone who doesn't really give a shit about their children's quality of life.

Cryotherapy for Warts
Surgery Overview
Cryotherapy involves freezing a wart using a very cold substance (usually liquid nitrogen). Cryotherapy is a standard treatment for warts and can be done in a doctor's office. The liquid nitrogen application usually takes less than a minute.
Most warts require 1 to 4 treatments, with 1 to 3 weeks between each treatment.
What To Expect After Surgery
Pain from cryotherapy can last up to 3 days. Healing is generally quick (7 to 14 days) with little or no scarring.
Within hours after treatment, a blister may form.
Multiple treatments may be needed to get rid of the wart.
Why It Is Done
Cryotherapy is usually used if salicylic acid treatment has not eliminated a wart or if quick treatment is desired.
How Well It Works
Cryotherapy can destroy warts. Research shows that cryotherapy is no more effective than salicylic acid.1, 2
If done carefully, cryotherapy poses little risk of scarring.
If a wart is thick and requires extensive or repeated freezing, nerves around the wart can be damaged, scarring may occur, and the skin may take a long time to recover.
There is a small chance of infection associated with cryotherapy. Some signs of infection include:
What To Think About
If you can tolerate moderate, short-term pain, cryotherapy may be a reasonable treatment option for you.

In doing research on the longest continuous active rivalries, GHSF Daily unearthed some trivia. If you missed it from Thursday, the oldest active unbroken rivalry is Trion vs. Gordon Lee, which has been played each year since 1946.
Edit: Here is the list from Thursday:
1946 – Trion-Gordon Lee
1950 – Valdosta-Colquitt Co.*
1951 – Commerce-Jefferson
1951 – Ringgold-Lakeview Ft. Oglethorpe
1952 – Seminole Co.-Terrell Co.
1954 – Bowdon-Bremen
1954 – Fitzgerald-Irwin County
1958 – Miller Co.-Seminole Co.
1958 – Lincoln County-Washington Wilkes**
The longest would've been the series between Columbus and Jordan, schools that had played each season since 1938 until last year. The schools moved to different regions in the change to six classifications. Not only was the rivalry interrupted, but both teams also finished 0-10, making it a double shame.
Atkinson County and Clinch County had played each season since 1956 until last season. The football gods apparently don't like this sort of break in tradition because Atkinson County finished 0-10, and Clinch County had its first losing record since 1985.
Mary Persons and Jackson missed playing in 1970-71 or their streak would go back to 1945.
Metter and ECI have played 75 times, with the series at 37-37-1, according to GHSFHA. They first played in 1926. They did not play each other in 1998 or 1999 or their streak would extend to 1947.
Berrien and Cook missed playing in 1972 and 1973 in a rivalry that is otherwise continuous since 1954.
Gilmer and Pickens have played each season since 1957 – except for 1972, when they were in different subregions. The subregions were redrawn in 1973, and they resumed hostilities.
Metro Atlanta's most-played rivalry
The most commonly played game between metro Atlanta opponents has been Roswell vs. Milton. They'll meet for the 59th time on Sept. 20. They started playing each other in 1950 but took a couple of breaks (1964-69, 1998-99).
The six-year hiatus in the 1960s was not voluntary, according to Roswell athletics director John Coen.
"After a bench-clearing fight involving fans from both sides in the 1963 game at Milton, the GHSA suspended both schools from playing each other for those six years," Coen said.
They played again in 1970, with Roswell winning 41-6 and later claiming the Class A championship with quarterback Jeff Bower (later head coach of Southern Miss).
Metro Atlanta's oldest unbroken series
The oldest unbroken active rivalry in metro Atlanta is Duluth vs. Norcross. They've played each season since 1970. Central Gwinnett and South Gwinnett have played each season since 1957 – except for 1998-99. Marist and St. Pius played each season from 1962 to 2009, but not since. Forest Park and Jonesboro have played each other 56 times starting in 1952, but they've not scheduled each other several times, including this season.
Carver's Jones, Hubbard now NFL teammates
LB Jarvis Jones (Georgia) and OL Chris Hubbard (UAB) played on the same state championship Georgia football team at Carver of Columbus in 2007. Now, they are rookie teammates with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who open their season this weekend. The Steelers also had former Georgia teammates (and state champions) on last year's roster in DL Cameron Heyward and P Drew Butler, but Butler was released earlier this week. Heyward and Butler played on Peachtree Ridge's 2006 state championship team.
Brother vs. brother in Walnut Grove-Loganville
Walnut Grove is a 4-year-old school in Walton County that considers tonight's opponent, Loganville, almost like a big brother. In fact, opposing quarterbacks Josh Laughlin (Loganville) and Tucker Laughlin (Walnut Grove) are brothers. Tucker, a junior, started in the Loganville district but moved to Walnut Grove partly to avoid comparisons with Josh. Tucker lives with his father, Steve. Josh lives with his mother, Jennifer. "All the grandparents are coming in; it's going to be interesting," said Daniel Laughlin, an uncle to the boys. "We're going to have one happy kid and one upset kid." Daniel Laughlin said that Tucker attended Loganville for a year but moved partly to strike his own path outside his older brother's shadow.
Brother-to-brother TD pass
Warner Robins QB Caden Johnston threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to his brother, TE Conner Johnston, in a 21-10 victory over Veterans last week. Their father is Skip Johnston, the strength and conditioning and offensive line coach. He is a Sprayberry graduate who played on the Yellow Jackets' region championship team of 1982.
Warner Robins was part of 1976 rankings upheaval
Until 2006, it had happened only once in AJC rankings history (dating to 1952) that the No. 1-ranked team in the highest classification had lost in consecutive weeks. It has happened three times since (2006, 2007, 2013). What's odd about the 1976 season is that the eventual state champion that year, Warner Robins, is considered by many to be the best team in state history. It featured James Brooks (NFL) and Ron Simmons (WWE). But that didn't dawn on the Atlanta Constitution until after Oct. 5, when defending champion Thomasville and then Valdosta lost their No. 1 rankings in consecutive weeks. Valdosta beat Thomasville 29-9 to claim the top spot (Buck Belue was Valdosta's quarterback), but Valdosta lost 28-26 the next week to Dougherty (Luther Welsh was Dougherty's coach). Warner Robins, underrated perhaps because it had never won a state title, finally got the No. 1 spot and went on to win its three playoff games by an average score of 43-2.
Propst: Kirkland better than Custis
Colquitt County coach Rush Propst says that Lovejoy running back Jeremiah Kirkland is better than last year's 2,000-yard rusher, Travis Custis, now at Georgia Tech. Kirkland rushed for 2,000 yards last season too, but for Landmark Christian. He rushed for 100 yards on 13 carries in a victory over Mundy's Mill last week. The leading rusher was DeRico Tilley with 117 yards on seven carries, one a 75-yard run. Lovejoy travels to Colquitt County today.
41-year radio voice DeLoach nears retirement
Tony DeLoach, the play-by-play radio voice of Jeff Davis football, is in his 41st and final season of broadcasting high school sports on the radio. DeLoach began his career in Claxton in 1973 and has covered Tattnall County, Toombs County, Vidalia, Pinewood Christian, Bleckley County and now Jeff Davis. DeLoach says he'll continue to contribute to Tommy Palmer's Friday night scoreboard radio show and be part of the radio crew on WGNN for the state championship games at the Georgia Dome.
On a corner in Sierra Vista, Ariz.
Add Alexander's Matthew Combs to the list of Georgia head coaches who are not from the South. He's a graduate of Buena High in Sierra Vista, Ariz., and the University of Arizona. He joins Steve Horton of Tucson as Georgia's reps from Arizona. That list was published last week. GHSF Daily is down to only 48 coaches for whom we don't know their high school alma maters. We're getting ready to name names.
Briefly …
Bill Ballard of White County got his 100th victory last week. Ballard has coached at Tucker, Peachtree Ridge and now White County, leading each to the playoffs. His record is 100-33. … Tim McFarlin of Blessed Trinity can get his 100th victory tonight at Hart County. McFarlin's record is 99-43-1. … Wayne County, the No. 8 team in Class AAAA, is ranked for the first time since 1994 under fourth-year coach Jody Grooms. In 2009, Grooms helped Lakeside of Evans to a state ranking for the first time in school history. … Lincoln County coach Larry Campbell had a birthday on Thursday. He's 65.

LaGrange and Newnan started playing back in 1908 per ghsfha, and have played 65 times since. I know that's not continuous, but it's still pretty dang impressive, especially since the schools aren't the same size

I believe that the longest and continuous high school rivalry in Georgia is Columbus High School vs. Jordan Vocational High School. Jordan's name was changed from Secondary Industrial School to J. V. H. S. after the new school building was constructed in 1937 on land donated by industrialist G. Gunby Jordan. The rivalry between C. H. S. (my mother's and other relatives' alma mater) and J. V. H. S. (my father's, my siblings', and my alma mater) goes back to 1905. I believe the two teams played each other last night…perhaps for the 108th year in a row.

Benedictine vs. Savannah High
This is Georgia's oldest high school football rivalry, and it may be the oddest, too. One of the traditions surrounding this game was the burning of the loser's coffin by the winning team.
According to author Maurice "Mutt" Sheppard, who wrote Savannah's Thanks-giving Day Football Classic: Benedictine Vs. Savannah High, students would build coffins representing each school.
Following the game, the winners would parade through town, snake dancing between the stalled cars, and burn the losers' coffin – sometimes with an effigy of a player inside – at the intersection of Bull and Broughton streets while students from both schools watched.
The game was "the biggest event in Savannah until Georgia high school rule changes resulted in the game being played before Thanksgiving," says Sheppard, a 1959 Benedictine grad.
For years this was the sporting event of the year, bringing 15,000 fans to Grayson Stadium (now a minor league ballpark) or Memorial Stadium, and everybody dressed for the occasion, men in coats and ties, girls wearing corsages.
"You got involved in that game from the time you were a youngster in grammar school," says Albert "Whitey" Moore, a Savannah High grad. "Kids around town would ask one another which team you were for and you'd better get the answer right, depending on who was talking."
Sometimes it was hard to get the answer right even within the confines of your own family. Whitey Moore played for Savannah, but his three brothers went to Benedictine.
"We weren't Catholic, but it was a good school and my brothers wanted to go to Benedictine. I just had an inclination to continue in the public schools," he says.
He actually played in the 1952 game against his younger brother, Charlie Moore. Whitey was a senior on the offensive line, and Charlie was Benedictine's sophomore quarterback.
"They beat us 6-0 that year and Charlie scored the winning touchdown," Whitey says. "I was disappointed that we lost, but brotherly love won out and I was proud that he scored the game's only touchdown."
Integration, busing and redistricting have changed the dynamic and demographics of the game, but the two schools – with rare exceptions – still have an appointment on the football field every fall.
It was always a regional game, with bragging rights and league trophies on the line. But as Benedictine keeps its student body to around 315, Savannah High's numbers have shifted around. So, for many years it became a non-region affair, but still the big money game. This year (because schools may move up in Georgia High School Association classification) Benedictine is playing in Region 3-AAAAA with Savannah.
"The game lost a lot of its luster due to re-classification over the years, but it was great in the mid-'80s when I was playing. Now that we're in the same region, perhaps there is more meaning to the game again," says Benedictine head coach Mark Stroud.
Even in the 1980s, says Savannah head coach David Jackson, "You knew it was gonna be a fight in the trenches the minute you hit the field until the end of the game. It was intense. We played little league with those guys across the field. They were our teammates in other circumstances. But on that football field, the competitive nature of human beings came out in a big way."

DELTON (WKZO) -- A Barry County man is back home recovering from a gunshot wound that police believe may have been fired by the random gunman who has been terrorizing the I-96 Corridor for the past two weeks. He remains at large.
Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte says they got two reports of cars being hit by gunfire on Saturday. A teen lost his back window to a bullet.
A half hour later, a bullet ripped through the door of a car and hit a man in the backside. At first Scott Arnold of Delton thought he lost a tire. He pulled into a gas station and realized he had been shot.
It's the first time the gunman has actually hit anyone and they are pretty sure he will do it again.
Twelve thousand dollars in reward money is available for information that leads to his capture.They believe the gunman is driving a 1988 Chevy Cavalier and using a 9mm or a .40 caliber weapon.
Arnold initially refused the trip to the hospital, saying he just wanted to be patched up so he would use his World Series Ticket. He never made it to the game. He is reported in good, if disappointed condition.
They couldn't remove the slug it was buried too deep in his posterior.

The Holiday Swirl
Bruce Weber and Francisco Costa joined Donna Karan at her Urban Zen Center last night for the 18th annual ACRIA dinner, an event that many New Yorkers count as a highlight of the holiday season. This year's festivities were made even more special by the presence of four-time Grammy winner Jessye Norman, who brought the crowd to their feet with her touching speech for the late socialite and philanthropist Judy Peabody. "Boy, I sure wish Jessye Norman was reading my speech," said Darren Star, creator of Sex and the City and Melrose Place, who was honoring former In Style editor in chief, Martha Nelson.
"Never in my history of going to ACRIA events have I seen the room get as silent as they did when Jessye spoke," reported artist Ross Bleckner. But not to worry, the noise levels went up quickly as dessert and more wine arrived at the tables. While some guests went off to check on the status of their Paddle8 auction bids (works by Bleckner, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Ed Ruscha were just some of the gems up for grabs), Karan remained seated with her tablemates Calvin Klein and daughter Gabby Karan DeFelice. "I'm telling you, art has the answer," she said, referring to ACRIA's impressive fundraising efforts to fight AIDS. "Art, AIDS, and answer. I'm creating a new version of AA!"
Uptown, Estée Lauder group president John Demsey turned his walls into a gallery for a colorful installation of Donald Robertson (a.k.a. @DonaldDrawbertson)'s fashion drawings before heading over to Mr. Chow, where MAC Cosmetics celebrated Zac Posen's Pre-Fall collection and what the designer called his "short, but maybe a little bit long, time in fashion." The beauty giant has been working Posen's backstage for more than a decade. "I've been so happy to be part of his journey from child star to star. He always had a persona that was bigger than the beginning," said Demsey. Despite presenting Pre-Fall just last week, Posen said he began draping Fall on Tuesday and plans to continue through Christmas. "It's actually my quiet, magical elf time. To drape and be in quiet on those few days, I love it. I have my dress form, my fabric, my music, and my muses that come visit me." Many of those muses—Uma Thurman, Crystal Renn, Pat Cleveland, and Dita Von Teese included—were on hand, and all were wearing his gowns, of course. "Everything is made for curves, everything is made for glamour," said Von Teese of Posen's aesthetic as she puffed on a Swarovski Crystal-covered e-cigarette. After tables were shoved aside, Cleveland and her daughter, Anna, started the dance party—disappearing in a dramatic swirl of ruby- and teal-colored fabric as the designer spun them right round.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so start their school days off right with these quick-and-healthy breakfast ideas. And while you're at it, don't forget to pack them a healthy lunch-to-go.
Any of these tasty muffins will perk up your student for the day of learning ahead.
This easy breakfast snack is delicious, and gets extra points for presentation.
This recipe has all the bases covered. Filled with sweet banana and topped with crunchy granola, these are hearty breakfast muffins. Add chocolate chips, and you've got a satisfying dessert.
From homemade granola to the perfect quiche, these recipes are sure to wake your kids up and keep them fueled all morning.
This egg roll-up may look difficult to make, but it's actually quite simple. The baked egg "sponge" is malleable and rolls up easily into an elegant dish.
This fall favorite has a smooth, cakelike texture that nicely complements the chewiness of the fruit.
Marbled with a buttery cinnamon ripple, this muffin is much like an individual serving of coffee cake. Need we say more?
With a spoonful of jam hidden in the middle and a dusting of confectioners' sugar on top, these muffins are reminiscent of good old-fashioned jelly doughnuts.
These scrumptious make-ahead muffins are a terrific idea for a quick breakfast.
Really busy families need real food, fast! Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Squares are easy to make ahead of time and are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast, no spoon required.
This recipe is based on one in the "Cooks' Illustrated Best Recipe" cookbook, and it's excellent: moist and flavorful, crisp-edged but tender, and with just the right balance of banana flavor and a wholesome graininess.
Okay, this is indeed from Fannie Farmer (I just checked), and the original recipe is called "Raised Waffles" and calls for a full stick of melted butter. Believe me, they are good that way, but I promise they are good this way too.
This simple egg scramble -- made with salsa, beans, and cheese -- is wrapped in a corn tortilla and ready to take on the go.
A heartier grain, a hint of orange flavor, and a rich golden hue really set this blueberry muffin apart from the rest.
It'd be a shame to let blueberry season pass without serving up at least one delectable fruit-filled breakfast, so here's our favorite recipe for blueberry pancakes.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sporadic problems are being reported today at polling places around the country. One voting machine in Pennsylvania lit up for Mitt Romney when a voter pressed the button for President Barack Obama. The machine was recalibrated. In Philadelphia, dozens of Republican inspectors were blocked from polling places, prompting party officials to obtain a court order providing them access in the heavily Democratic city. Ohio also saw a court battle -- this one involving a lawsuit claiming the state-installed voting software could allow people unconnected to official election boards to manipulate ballots. A judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to stop the software's use. In Florida, a robocall glitch recycled calls intended for yesterday -- telling voters they had until "7 p.m. tomorrow" to vote.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

A.Ron Webber, a veteran
plastering contractor in Orange, Calif.,
responds: I do not recommend using plastic
stucco cement — actually a blend of
portland cement, silica sand, lime, and fillers to
increase plasticity — for patching. It has
a high water content and develops a lot of very
small shrinkage cracks as it dries, which can cause
a patch to break apart prematurely. A better
approach is to repair dead hairline cracks
— where the stucco is stable and the
cracks don't change size or reappear
— by dusting them with premixed, pigmented
stucco. I pour dry stucco powder into a cup, then
use a dry 1-inch brush to dab the powder into the
cracks. Immediately after dusting, I brush any
excess off the edges (to prevent buildup) and blend
in the patch. Moisture from the night air will help
the cement set up overnight.
This technique is quick and easy and gives me a
better color match than a wet-mortar repair.
Dusting allows me to blend the patch in with the
existing texture; simply filling in the cracks
tends to leave a telltale "snail
trail" of different stucco textures.
If the cracks are live and reappearing, you will
have to take more extreme measures. For larger
cracks, I mix up a stucco fog coat (pigmented
stucco without the sand) and inject it into the
crack with a large syringe. (I moisten the area
around the crack with water beforehand.) I use a
small chip brush as needed to brush away the excess
buildup and mist the patch as it dries; this helps
harden the cement and makes the mineral pigment
more stable.
If the cracks are too small, though, the fog
coat won't penetrate them very well and
the patch won't be as strong. To avoid
this, you can dig out the cracks, moisten the area
around them, and then squeeze the wet stucco into
the cracks. It helps to brush some diluted acrylic
admix into the cracks to help with adhesion. You
might need to scrape back some of the finish coat
and retexture the stucco, but matching an existing
texture is a repair that requires good hands.
Again, misting water onto the patch as it dries
helps a lot.
While I've seen other plasterers fill
cracks with urethane caulking, it's not a
method I use. Pigmented acrylics and urethanes
might closely match the stucco when they are dry,
but when it rains and the walls are wet, every
patch will show up. This is because portland cement
stucco absorbs water and darkens, while acrylics
and urethanes don't. Of course, if the
walls are painted, then the color difference
won't be as obvious when it rains.
