Regarding the Pain of Others
by Susan Sontag
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Much in the way AIDS and its metaphors is an update of Illness as metaphor, likewise Regarding the pain of others (2004) is an update of On Photography (1977). Unfortunately, the follow-up books are not as original and well-written as the first-conceived editions. Perhaps avoiding a repetition of earlier ideas or arguments, the follow-up books, they are not as sparkling, a mere shadow of the original works.
The title of Regarding the pain of others is ambiguous, based on the possible double meaning of the word "regarding". The essay is therefore as much, but not solely about "pain", but much more about "viewing suffering," i.e. the pain of others.
The essay deals with various types of images, starting with Sixteenth century etchings by Goltzius, and moves on to discuss the graphic work of Hans Ulrich Frank of soldiers killing peasants, dated to 1652 or the end of the Thirty Years' War, and Francisco Goya's early Nineteenth century work, a series of 83 etchings under the title Los Desastres de la Guerra. However, Sontag's essay does not convincingly bear out that these etchings are works of art, and cannot be regarded as the equivalent of journalistic photography. The essay is largely concerned with journalistic and war photography and filmography.
Regarding the pain of others does touch upon the satisfaction derived from watching the suffering of others, or at least images thereof. But the work is far more focused on describing the medium of photography than exploring man's fascination with the images of suffering. This is regrettable, as the ambiguous title gave an outlook on a broad spectrum of interest, which in this essay is only interpreted in the narrow sense of photography.
There were times when Ms. Sontag made excellent points and had me thinking about things from a new point of view, and times when she seemed to write in circles and never really made a point. I liked the book, and I think it says things we need to hear, but even this short book had a lot of extra fluff that seemed to hide the ideas and thoughts that were most important.
An interesting and intelligent meditation on the role of photojournalism in depicting human suffering – focussing especially on the atrocities of war – and the public's reaction to such images. Regarding the Pain of Others presents an intriguing collection of thoughts on the subject marshalled with an extraordinary degree of finesse. This is undoubtedly an important essay in an age when the average citizen is becoming remarkably desensitised to what would once have been considered – not too long ago – quite shocking images. The question that remains, however, is 'what do we do about it?'.
A very interesting long essay about how evil is made visual through photography. I liked this a lot, very thoghtful writing
Academic discussion about the history of documenting war, conflict and death through art/paintings/drawings and then, in more modern times, photography. Contains interesting facts about the evolution of using the camera on battlefields and during the aftermath of massacres, bombings, etc, as well as the ethics involved with of broadcasting and/or censoring the images captured.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312422199, Paperback)
Twenty-five years after her classic On Photography, Susan Sontag returns to the subject of visual representations of war and violence in our culture today.
How does the spectacle of the sufferings of others (via television or newsprint) affect us? Are viewers inured--or incited--to violence by the depiction of cruelty? In Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag takes a fresh look at the representation of atrocity--from Goya's The Disasters of War to photographs of the American Civil War, lynchings of blacks in the South, and the Nazi death camps, to contemporary horrific images of Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Israel and Palestine, and New York City on September 11, 2001.
In Regarding the Pain of Others Susan Sontag once again changes the way we think about the uses and meanings of images in our world, and offers an important reflection about how war itself is waged (and understood) in our time.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:46:49 -0400)
"One of the distinguishing features of modern life is that it supplies countless opportunities for regarding (at a distance, through the medium of photography) horrors taking place throughout the world. Images of atrocities have become, via the little screens of the television and the computer, something of a commonplace. But are viewers inured - or incited - to violence by the depiction of cruelty? Is the viewer's perception of reality eroded by the daily barrage of such images? What does it mean to care about the sufferings of people in faraway zones of conflict?" "Susan Sontag's now classic book On Photography defined the terms of this debate twenty-five years ago. Her new book is a profound rethinking of the intersection of "news," art, and understanding in the contemporary depiction of war and disaster. She makes a fresh appraisal of the arguments about how pictures can inspire dissent, foster violence, or create apathy, evoking a long history of the representation of the pain of others - from Goya's The Disasters of War to photographic documents of the American Civil War, lynchings of blacks in the South, the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, the Nazi death camps, and contemporary images from Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Israel and Palestine, and New York City on September 11, 2001." "This is also a book about how war itself is waged (and understood) in our time, replete with vivid historical examples and a variety of arguments advanced from some unexpected literary sources. Plato, Leonardo da Vinci, Edmund Burke, Wordsworth, Baudelaire, and Virginia Woolf all figure in this passionate reflection on the modern understanding of violence and atrocity. It includes as well a stinging attack on the provincialism of media pundits who denigrate the reality of war, and a political understanding of conflict, with glib talk about a new, worldwide "society of spectacle." Just as On Photography challenged how we understand the very condition of being modern, Regarding the Pain of Others will alter our thinking not only about the uses and meanings of images, but about the nature of war, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Ah, Coachella, a time for (particularly) clueless rich people to dress up like their idea of a '60s bohemian and enjoy the latest major label chart-topping tunes from the comfort of cushy VIP pens.
Normally, we have a hard line about not making fun of off-duty (non red carpet) famous people, but most of these press-hungry jackasses relish Coachella as an opportunity to wear their cool poor person costume: a floppy hat, short shorts, shitloads of fringe, a leather headband, a $2000 handbag and–the best accessory–a big, dumb peace sign.

The rules require that you leave them at home.
Take another look at the LSAT test day tips for more on what you can and can't bring.
I'm just guessing here, but I think the cell phone ban might stem from a 12-year-old LSAT cheating scandal - back when people actually used pagers:
The Law School Admission Council, the official administrator of the Law School Admission Test, or LSAT, became intimately aware of the threat in 1997, when a University of Southern California test taker ran out of the exam room with his test book. A proctor chased him, but couldn't stop him from hopping into a getaway car.I hope that LSAC learned its lesson and hires more physically-fit proctors these days.
Hours later, the thief sent the LSAT answers to two test takers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa -- where the test was just commencing -- via electronic pager. The proctor became suspicious when she noticed the test takers frequently looking at their pagers. She let them finish their exams, then contacted the LSAC, which turned the case over to the Los Angeles Police Department.
All three students were prosecuted in California Superior Court on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery. They were sentenced to a year in jail each and forced to pay $97,000 in restitution to the LSAC.
The LSAC retains experts in electronic surveillance equipment from Securitas Security Services USA Inc. to provide staff to administer tests, carry out security investigations and alert testing companies of the latest cheating gadgetry and trends.
But, for now, it doesn't use electronic detection devices. Jim Vaseleck, executive assistant to the president of the LSAC, notes that astute proctors, not gadgets, foiled the USC plot.
"We instruct test takers and train proctors that folks are not allowed to bring electronic devices into testing centers," he says.
Plus, he believes that low-tech cheating schemes, which can be combated only with astute proctors, remain a bigger problem. He notes incidents where test takers carved exam answers into No. 2 pencils, selling them on the black market for close to $1,000, or lined up different-colored M&Ms on a desk to correspond to answers of multiple- choice questions. "Electronic devices present more of a nuisance than a security problem," Mr. Vaseleck says.
(article from Wisconsin School of Journalism's website - link down- http://www.journalism.wisc.edu/crediteducation/WSJ%20art.htm):
Either way, the bottom line: don't cheat.

5 Reasons You Didn't Get A Call Back
Saturday, June 18th, 2011
Wondering why your new lover is leaving you hanging ladies? Well I found this nifty article listing five reasons why girls don't get a call back from a new dating partner. It is written by relationship guru Christian Carter and you can view the full article here.
5. He lost your number and forgot to call.
4. He lost interest.
3. He was just being polite.
2. He's just looking for a fling.
1. He's having trouble being honest.
I've gotta say I think I've only used #4. But I also wouldn't admit if I were one of "THOSE" guys… WHICH I'M NOT! :p

He pulled out his phone and texted for a moment before looking back up at his brother, he didn't like seeing the guy so sad — and if he was in his position and Eli knew someone to hook up Aaron with he'd want him to do the same. "—I sent Andy your number" he smirked. "He's a good guy— and a close friend so don't mess things up for me" he teased
Eli's head sprung up and he jumped off his stool practically almost tackling his brother. He wasn't the mushy type when it comes to his brothers, but times like these just made his body move by itself. "I won't mess things up. I promise!" He finally let go of Aaron and grinned in front of him. "You're the best brother ever!" Eli hugged him again and froze before he let go of Aaron. "Don't tell Puck that.." He shook his head and began to laugh.
Basically the island… right?
No guy on guy? Lame.
She's not a patient little girl but I'm sure we'll raise her well.
You'll definitely raise her well. Don't worry. And if you need a babysitter, I'm here. I've got two strong arms that can cradle and carry them both :)
I wouldn't be worried about Logan but Anna. Logan is the calmest one. Anna? Not so much.
Ahh. I see. Maybe she's irritable? I really don't know. :/
They are, especially if they are two. And right now they are totally calm, being so young. So I don't really want to imagine what it will be like when they start fighting with each other.
Well wether you like it or not, they'll grow up and soon fighting with each other. But as long as you're there to guide them, you'll be lucky if Logan ends up being sweet to his sister.
Why don't I believe you, dude? No. Just means that I don't have so fucking many responsibilities.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? It was nothing, big brother. Hmm. Let me see, what are your responsibilities here on the island?
Andy smirked and took Eli's full length into his throat as he bobbed up and down on his cock, cupping his balls as he sucked the tan boy off. He licked him slowly but kept working his tongue in circles around his cock as he sucked on the hardened flesh. Humming around it softly as he cupped his balls once more and took the rest of the length into his mouth.
"Fuck!" Eli groaned out loudly when Andy hummed around his cock, feeling the tingling vibrations. He bucked his hips a little more, loving how Andy handled his balls and sucked on his cock. "Aaandy.." Eli slightly whined as he tugged on Andy's blond hair tighter, feeling so much pleasure. He wanted to make the other boy feel good too so as much as he wanted Andy's mouth and lips around his cock, he pulled his cock out of Andy's mouth and grabbed the blond boy by his shirt, throwing him on the bed with Eli on top. Eli took off Andy's shirt a little too furiously and tossed his shirt on the floor. He licked his lips at the sight beneath him as his hands roamed on the blond boy's abs, inching its way down to his cock that was so hard it was laying on his stomach. "Let me take care of that for you." He quirked his eyebrows at Andy before dipping his head to kiss Andy's abs then down to his cock.
He looked at him and shook his head "Dude, I'm telling you there HAS to be a guy here that wants you. First of all, Us puckerman boys we're like GOLD. We're stallions, but there is also that whole we're kinda dicks thing… work on that. It's how I got Charlie" he told him before biting into his hamburger. "You have to care, it can't be about sex. I mean — even noah's changed on this island" he admitted. "He's not as big of a player, he's like sticking around for Rachel.. it's weird."
Eli shrugged. "I dunno.. I don't think anyone would. AND, you guys are the only dicks. Not me." He grinned and laughed at his brother before taking a bite from his hamburger as well. Eli chewed and nodded. "I do care.. But I'm just fucking horny all the time! Of course it's gonna be about the sex." He sighed. "Well good for him. Rachel's a great girl. He should really change for her." Eli looked down at his plate, thinking he'll be die alone.
What's that supposed to mean, dude? No, not really. I think.
Nooooooooooothing. Ohh. Well, that's too bad.
For some reason they like to sleep in the bed more than their own cribs.. shh - daddy can't see this.
Aww. So adorable. What's its name?
That's Anna but she has a twin brother, Logan. They are cute but they are also baby monsters. It's a miracle they are sleeping.
Aww. Anna's so adorable. Hahaha. Well baby's are cute but are hard to take care of because they're fully dependent to you.

TUESDAY, Oct. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the federal government shutdown that began Tuesday morning, U.S. officials said Medicare and Medicaid recipients and veterans will continue to receive health-care benefits.
The shutdown also won't stop Tuesday's introduction of the health insurance exchanges that are a foundation of the Affordable Care Act. The health-reform law, also known as Obamacare, is ground zero in the budget stalemate on Capitol Hill between Republicans and Democrats that led to the shutdown.
However, a number of programs important to public health will probably be disrupted. They include infectious disease surveillance, inspections of food and drug manufacturers, and monitoring of imported foods and drugs, government officials said Monday afternoon.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) expected to furlough 52 percent of its staff in the shutdown, sending home approximately 40,500 employees, according to a contingency plan released by the agency. An estimated 38,000 staffers will remain on the job for the short term.
The disruption in government services won't affect people receiving health care through Medicare or Medicaid, officials said.
"In the short term, the Medicare Program will continue largely without disruption during a lapse in appropriations," the contingency plan said, adding that money already has been set aside to continue funding to states for Medicaid services and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
The shutdown also won't affect any medical programs provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, officials added.
"All VA medical facilities and clinics will remain fully operational," the agency said in a shutdown guide sent to its field offices. "The Veterans Health Administration has received an advance appropriation to continue its services without disruption."
In a somewhat ironic twist, the shutdown also won't halt the rollout of the health exchanges, or marketplaces, a cornerstone of the health-care law. The program that many Republicans are intent on defunding -- in exchange for keeping the government operating -- will proceed even as other services falter.
"Many of the core parts of the health-care law are funded through mandatory appropriations and wouldn't be affected," HHS official Gary Cohen told the Associated Press. Cohen is director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.
President Barack Obama has echoed those remarks.
"On Tuesday, about 40 million more Americans will be able to finally buy quality, affordable health care, just like anybody else," Obama said. He added that the new health insurance marketplaces "will be open for business on Tuesday no matter what -- even if there's a government shutdown. That's a done deal."
People will be able to go to their state health exchange online or over the phone and begin registering for 2014 coverage, even if they live in one of the 34 states in which the federal government either wholly or partially operates the health insurance exchange.
The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) will continue coordination between Medicaid and state marketplaces, guiding eligible people with low incomes into the program. CMS said it will also continue to perform such health-care industry assessments as insurance rate reviews, which are mandated by the Affordable Care Act.
But, a number of important government-run health-care functions will be disrupted during the shutdown, the HHS contingency plan said. Some of these include:
The seasonal influenza program operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tracks flu outbreaks across state lines using genetic and molecular analysis. The CDC also will be hampered in its efforts to monitor and combat other infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis and sexually transmitted diseases.
Routine inspections of food and drug manufacturers and monitoring of imports by the Food and Drug Administration.
Senior nutrition and elder abuse programs operated by the Administration for Community Living.
Admission of new patients at the National Institutes of Health's Clinical Center.
Action on any grants related to medical research, improvement of the health-care system, and monitoring of substance abuse programs.
Funding for activities related to medical countermeasures against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and emerging threats.
Medical disaster relief to Colorado in response to the recent flooding.

Phyllo-Wrapped Apple Dumplings with Apple Cider Sauce
From EatingWell: November/December 2013
In this apple dumpling dessert recipe, apples are sprinkled with raisins, brown sugar and spice then wrapped in lightly buttered phyllo dough before being baked into a gorgeous parcel. For the sauce, apple cider is reduced to create a sensational accompaniment for these crispy apple dumplings.
Makes: 12 servings, 1 dumpling & 2 Tbsp. sauce each

Cider Sauce
- 8 cups apple cider or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Apple Dumplings
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice (see Tip)
- 6 sweet crisp apples, such as Honeycrisp, Macoun or Braeburn
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 24 sheets phyllo dough (9-by-14-inch), thawed per package directions
- To prepare sauce: Bring cider (or juice) to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil, watching carefully and stirring occasionally to keep bubbles down, until reduced to about 2 cups, 30 to 40 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth; whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling syrup. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking frequently, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- To prepare dumplings: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine raisins, brown sugar and apple pie spice in a medium bowl. Peel, halve and core apples. Place cut-side up on a clean work surface; spoon a little of the raisin mixture into the center of each apple half. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mix over the apples.
- Combine butter and oil in a small bowl; set aside 2 tablespoons in another small bowl. Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a third small bowl. Unroll phyllo sheets onto a clean, dry surface, keeping them in a stack. Cover with a piece of wax paper and then a barely damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
- Lay out one sheet of phyllo on a clean, dry surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the sheet with butter mixture from the first bowl, then lightly sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Repeat, layering on 3 more sheets of phyllo; coat and sprinkle the top sheet too. Cut the phyllo stack in half crosswise. Place a stuffed apple half in the middle of each stack. Gather the sides of the phyllo together, pinching the corners, to enclose the apple. Transfer the dumplings to a large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and apples to make 12 dumplings al together. Brush them with the reserved 2 tablespoons of butter mixture.
- Bake the dumplings until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Reheat the sauce, if desired. Serve the dumplings with the sauce.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare sauce (Step 1) and assemble dumplings (Steps 3-5). Cover and refrigerate separately for up to 1 day; bake the dumplings and reheat the sauce before serving.

March 11, 2012
Michael Leighton and Rob Bordson led the way as
the Adirondack Phantoms recent road success continued
with a 4-1 victory at the Worcester Sharks on
Sunday afternoon. Adirondack had previously had
a stretch in which they struggle away from the
confines from the Glens Falls Civic Center but
that seems in the distant past now as the team
has found their away-game stride with four straight
road victories as well as five in their last six.
Bordson racked up three very nice assists and
Leighton turned in an impressive 40-save performance
for the victory. Shane Harper (13th), Matt Ford
(10th), Mike Testwuide (10th) and Tye McGinn (10th)
all scored for Adirondack.
The streaking Phantoms finished off another successful
three-game weekend stretch winning two out of
the three. It it was fourth straight 2-for-3 weekend
for Adirondack.
The 30th win of the season for the Phantoms pulls
the team to within just one point of the Albany
Devils for the eighth place spot in the Eastern
Conference playoff chase. And Adirondack is just
two points behind seventh place Manchester while
moving into a ninth place tie with Worcester.
Both Albany and Manchester lost their Sunday games
allowing the Phantoms to close the gap with the
valuable two points on the road while giving them
the opportunity to vault into one of the playoff
positions if the winning ways continue with upcoming
games Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
The Phantoms with 63 points are now in a ninth
place tie with the Worcester Sharks with 15 games
remaining in the regular season. Pretty impressive
for a team that found themselves eight points
out just a few weeks ago.
But going 6-2 in their last eight games as well
as 8-4-1 in their last 13 has allowed Joe Paterson's
club to get right in there in the heart of the
jammed group of teams in a battle seemingly certain
to be contested right up until the end of the
regular season.
The Phantoms did not show any letdown following
the emotion and intensity of the playoff-atmosphere
4-3 win over Albany in front of the Standing Room
Only crowd the night before. The 4-1 victory at
Worcester however was not an easy one and the
final margin belies the true closeness and competitiveness
of the contest
Adirondack took a 1-0 lead in the first period
when Rob Bordson would loft a puck up high in
the air from the Phantoms' zone perfectly arcing
it right over the shoulder of Shane Harper cutting
in past the Sharks' defense. Harper was able to
bat the puck in mid-air and then control it after
a couple of bounces to eventually put it home
on a breakaway for his 13th goal of the season.
Harper had two goals on the weekend and now has
four goals in the last five games going back to
last Saturday when he had a two-goal game at Albany.
The Phantoms extended the lead to 2-0 in the opening
minute of the middle period when Bordson jumped
on a giveaway in the Worcester zone and curled
to the right-circle slamming a shot off the pads
on goalie Harri Satari. The long rebound in the
high slot was scooped up by Ford who deposited
his low wrister past the left-skate of Satari
for his 10th with the Phantoms in 16 games since
joining the club in early February.
Ford came over from the Hershey Bears in a trade
for Kevin Marshall and already had 10 goals on
the season with his former club. The 27-year-old
from West Hills, California has matched that output
in a much quicker stretch with Adirondack.
After the Phantoms made it 2-0, Worcester would
charge into the Adirondack zone time-and-time
again getting shot after shot on Michael Leighton.
The veteran goalie from Petrolia, Ont. made several
fine stops among his 21 total saves in the second
period which ended with a right-leg pad save on
a Brandon Mashinter breakaway to keep the Phantoms
in front by two.
Worcester would finally get on the board in the
middle of the third period off a face-off win
that they quickly worked out to Jack Combs in
the slot for his 13th goal of the season.
But just two minutes later Adirondack would get
that goal back with Rob Bordson's slapper from
the left-point finding the stick of Testwuide
in front of the net for a deflection upstairs
for his 10th goal of the season.
Tye McGinn blasted a drive from behind the Worcester
line for an empty-net goal with 45 seconds remaining
for his 10th of the season to seal the victory.
Leighton's 21st win of the year came on a fine
40-save effort. Rob Bordson earned #2 Star of
the Game honors with his three primary assists,
all of differing styles.
The game was the first of the year between the
Phantoms and Sharks. The lone rematch comes in
the second to last game of the regular season
on Saturday, April 14 at the Glens Falls Civic
Center in a game that could have significant playoff
implications for both squads.
The game was a relatively clean contest with very
few penalties called. Adirondack went 0-for-2
on the power play while Worcester was 0-for-1.
The Sharks outshot the Phantoms 41-35 as both
Leighton and Sateri saw plenty of rubber throughout
the afternoon.
Adirondack was without Harry Zolnierczyk who was
recalled by the Philadelphia Flyers following
Saturday night's game. Andrew Rowe, Marc-Andre
Bourdon and Oskars Bartulis were the other scratches
for the Phantoms.
Adirondack returns home on Wednesday night to
take on the Syracuse Crunch on a $1 hot dog night
as the team has a fun time celebrating National
Potato Chip Day including a potato chip giveaway
courtesy of Fitzgerald's.
The Phantoms then travel to Hershey and Syracuse
for more back-to-back road games next Friday and
Saturday as they will look to extend their four-game
road winning streak even further.

Advocates for showering with cold water say that it's a good anti-aging technique. It also has a lot of health advantages! One of the things that it does is force the body to generate its own heat, in a process called thermogenesis.
When you go right into a cold shower, you experience cold shock. It actually makes your heart pump blood faster, and you also increase your breathing rate. This is what generates Thermogenesis. It activates the body's adaptive repair system. That can strengthen immunity, enhance your pain and stress tolerance and ward off depression.

|Survivors of the '80s
The age of acid-washed jeans and feathered hair didn't kill these guys' careers
By Kim Morgan
Sometimes you have to love time. Sure, it ages us, it can make us uselessly bitter or ridiculously nostalgic, but sometimes it works an almost magical power. Time heals all wounds, the saying goes, but it also unfastens time-locked personas, giving us the perspective to rethink a person, place, thing or, in the case of this gallery, acting careers of certain stars. The time here? The 1980s, which, if a star isn't careful enough, can stick to his or her shoes like cement glue (Bubblicious), which often isn't fair. If you told us, for instance, in 1989 that Andrew Dice Clay would not only be starring in a Woody Allen movie, but receiving great reviews for his sensitive performance, we'd be more than surprised. And yet, there he is in "Blue Jasmine" holding his own opposite Cate Blanchett, giving his character vulnerability and pathos. And then there's Tony Danza, who, this month, plays Joseph Gordon-Levitt's father in Gordon-Levitt's eagerly anticipated directorial debut, "Don Jon." With that, we're taking a look at 10 actors who were stars in the 1980s and who through time, steady work and an interesting splash, have come to redefine themselves in the 2010s.

Good offensive play in the NFL starts and ends with how well the offensive line performs. The center snaps the ball starting the play, and from there one of two things is going to happen.
In the simplest of terms if it's a pass play the line must form a pocket and stop any potential pass rush from getting to the quarterback, which in turn gives him enough time to setup, scan the field, and complete a pass to an open target.
Conversely if it's run play the line must push defenders out of the way to create running lanes for the back to rush through. No blocking, no lanes, and no lanes typically means the running back will be caught up in the backfield for little to no gain.
The Saints have always had one of the better offensive lines in the NFL, pass protection has never been an issue under Sean Payton, and for that matter neither has run blocking.

"We hope that every one would treat each that way no matter which side of this issue they were on," said Elder L. Whitney Clayton, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Presidency of the Seventy.
Proposition 8 amends California's constitution to define marriage as legal only between one man and one woman. It overturns a ruling made this summer by the California Supreme Court, which struck down a 2000 ban on such unions. In the months that followed, an estimated 18,000 gay and lesbian couples were married in California.
"We pick ourselves up and trudge on," said Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and a former Utahn.
She predicted that the movement for gay equality would continue to move forward. "If it's not today or it's not tomorrow, it will be soon," Kendall said.
The LDS Church's campaign to pass Proposition 8 was its most vigorous since the 1970s, when it joined the effort to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment.
Clayton said the church never considered Proposition 8 to be a political issue.
"We consider this to be a moral issue," he said, adding that "We're not anti-gay, we're pro marriage between a man and a woman."
In a statement released today, the LDS Church hailed decisions in Arizona and Florida that also ensure marriage will be between a man and a woman.
Asked whether the LDS Church would engage in similar activism in the future, Clayton said, "I really don't know. It depends on the issue, and the time and what is going on."
In its statement, the LDS Church said it does not object to domestic partnership or civil union legislation "as long as these do not infringe on the integrity of the traditional family or the constitutional rights of churches." --

The Big Picture – The biggest group picture of the world
The popping of flashbulbs was tremendous on the evening of September 1, 2012. Tens of thousands of spectators pulled out simultaneously their digital camera or their smartphone during the voestalpine Klangwolke in the Danube Park, shot at the same time a picture of their surroundings and sent them to Ars Electronica. The result is the largest snapshot that ever existed, and which is now available inside the Deep Space as a high-resolution mosaic to interested visitors. Ask an infotrainer if you want to zoom into this unique collection of photos or just want to see the whole big picture.Read More

"This new path represents the identification of an opportunity that incorporates the current clinical, scientific, and regulatory perspectives on the development of heart failure therapeutics," said James Young, MD, Professor and Executive Dean, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. "Preclinical and clinical data have shown that the natriuretic peptide class can act on multiple disease processes that play a role in the negative outcomes associated with heart failure. The unique properties of cenderitide provide a sound rationale to support this innovative strategy and could lead to the development of a differentiated product with clinically meaningful benefits."

What's the difference between the "routed" and "rout-less" wood blinds when you put them up and close the slats? The two wood blinds WITH rout holes in the next picture give you a visual.

Cosmetic & Wellness Medical Center
18 Endeavor, Ste 200, Irvine, CA 92618 |Amoderm on Google+ | Facebook |
Nobody likes the appearance of unsightly spider and varicose veins on legs, but fortunately, when they occur, there are solutions. Laser Vein Removal can be an effective treatment to remove these unhealthy veins using bursts of energy. However, the most effective treatment for spider veins is sclerotherapy. At Amoderm, we offer both treatment options individually or combined to better address veins with different sizes and conditions.
In sclerotherapy, the doctor uses a special form of light to visualize the superficial veins of the affected areas and locate the unhealthy veins that should be treated. Then, the doctor uses a fine needle to inject a special solution into the affected veins which will cause them to collapse and stop the flow of blood through them. Then the doctor withdraws the needle and applies mild compression on the treated area to keep the blood from returning to the vessels. Typically in the few weeks following the treatment, most of the collapsed vessels are absorbed by the body and fade away for good.
The treatment can usually be done in less than an hour at the clinic, depending on the number and size of the veins treated. Call us today to schedule your free consultation to chose the best treatment options for skin vein removal!

I thought that I would never like a business class until I entered your class and had the opportunity to use Marketplace.
I felt that for once I actually understood business.
Melissa Martin, Student, Bryant College, Smithfield, RI
Marketplace Live Wins Silver Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Technology Award
The Venture Strategy simulation
Target courses:
New ventures, business policy, entrepreneurship and capstone business courses. Venture Strategy exposes the participant to all the aspects of business.
Marketing, product development, traditional and web sales channel, human resources management as well as the fundamentals of finance, accounting and operations.
Time frame:
6 decision rounds, with each round taking 1½ to 2 hours to complete.
More details:
In the Venture Strategy simulation, students start a new company that enters the microcomputer industry. They deal with Marketing, Product Development, Accounting, Finance and Manufacturing Fundamentals, Financial Analysis, Business Partner Negotiations, Human Resource Management and e-Commerce.
As the executive team, students are provided the seed capital (investment money) to start their business. They can use this money to build a factory, open sales offices and/or a web site, and design brands. They invest 2 million in the first quarter and another 1 million in each of the next two quarters. An additional 4 million becomes available in quarter 4 from venture capitalists, for a total of 8 million.
The executive team has a year and a half (6 quarters or decision periods) to get their company off the ground. Within this time frame, they should become a self-sufficient firm, earning substantial profits from their operations.
The students can play against their peers or against computer-generated competitors. The "play against computer" version allows everyone to work at his or her own pace and there is no need to coordinate the play of all of the students.
Available languages
"Play Against Peers" version: English, Brazilian-Portuguese, Korean, Polish, Chinese(simplified)
"Play against Computer" version: English, Brazilian-Portuguese, Polish, Chinese(simplified)
Grading is based on the balanced scorecard that measures profitability, customer satisfaction, market share in the targeted market segments, human resource management, asset management, financial risk, preparedness for the future and wealth.

I am a black woman. I am also a writer. Because I don't see enough of myself in the stuff I read, I've been trying to come up with ways to describe black people that don't refer to food, and that encompass the variety of our skin tones and hair textures.
I had an epiphany today. What words would I use to describe us if I weren't comparing us to white people? What words would I use to compare us to each other?
This is a call for binding resources, especially any resources that are specifically useful for
- fat and large-chested folks who bind
- people with back problems who bind
- people who may be binding long-term
This was prompted by a message I got, but I would also just love to have these resources compiled (for myself and others).
Reblog and add your resources!
I have none. But I'll keep an eye on this because I am and will continue to be binding long-term and it's actually causing me a significant amount of back and chest pain these days. Any of you guys got anything?
If any of you are considering changing your name then please check out my 'How to change your name for free' Youtube video here.
If anyone chooses to do a free change of name and needs parchment paper and/or legal seals then I am happy to send you some free of charge.
Please leave a message in my Ask box if you are interested.

Jeff Guyer on Buying Used Lenses
Even though it should go without saying, I'm going to say it. Do your homework! It's not enough to know everything about WHAT you want. You may have read all about the sweet spot on the Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8, or the minimum focus distance of the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L-Series, but when you're getting ready to drop a significant chunk of your hard-earned money on a lens, you need to find out everything you can about the person selling it.
If you're contemplating a face-to-face transaction, ask around. Get references or referrals if you can. In this day and age of Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, chances are good that buyer and seller each know someone in common. If you're buying on ebay, carefully check the seller's feedback and ratings, particularly the comments. Also take a few minutes to compare the price against other auction sites and even that of a new lens.
Read the original article, An Introduction to Buying Used Lenses, at the Digital Photography School blog.

PLAYERS: Tim Tebow
TEAMS: New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals
TEAMS: New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals
The New York Jets have officially listed Tim Tebow as a game time decision for their Week 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Recovering from two fractured ribs, it appears highly doubtful that Tebow will play this week. Considering the nature and extent of his injury, it is completely understandable. What is far more difficult to understand is why this is even a story. Tebow has thrown seven passes for the Jets in 2012. He has run the ball 29 times. When you add what he has thrown and rushed for this season, Tebow has accounted for a grand total of 126 yards. This should be a non-story. Any other player who has accounted for such little yards and has had relatively no impact on his team would not even get a blurb. But because it is Tebow, it is national headlines. Who cares if Tebow plays or not on Sunday? The Jets certainly don't. The Cardinals definitely don't. I know I clearly don't. It is like the old adage asks. If a tree falls in the woods, but nobody hears it, does it mak...
