If your fat content is such that it is taking a toll on your body, that is a bad thing. We should strive to be healthy. Rolls of fat are no healthier than being a walking skeleton. Why are women who way more than their knees and backs can support defended while anorexics are looked down upon? Both are in bad shape.
Fatema? African American? Looks like an alternate spelling for the Arab name Fatima…as in the name half of the women in Mohamed's family had.
What if you have mammary glands, internal sex organs, and XY chromosomes? You know, androgyn insensitivy syndrome? Then, are you a man or a woman?
By the way, there are plenty of no-op transgender people…in case no one explained that to you yet. Usually transmen are no-op because SRS is a waste of money. Can't create a decent penis.
NO its transphobic! Have we not discussed this enough? Go educate yourself!!
That's kind of dismissive and insulting to trans men who have chosen to have that surgery.
When looking at male models with erections, do people care if he is a firefighter or librarian, or that his hobby is collecting baseball cards?
Remaining a virgin until marriage is punishable by a sentence of indeterminate length.
Indeed, teaching is important, but an individual teacher usually isn't. (You'll die without water, but one glass of water isn't very valuable.) Teaching scales very poorly; a teacher can handle at most, what, thirty students at a time? You can reach far more people per hour of work by writing a textbook or making a YouTube video than you can by giving a classroom lecture.
This certainly doesn't excuse ridiculous CEO pay, though.
This is reminiscent of any discussion of race as an empowering discussion = racist. Femininity and masculinity are thereby sexist concepts, resulting in any discussion of preference or distinction as sexist. I do not buy this line of reasoning.
I find the idea of entirely dismissing gender as merely a social construct we can do without repugnant because it tells me there is something wrong with considering myself a woman or a man. Why, is there something wrong with one or the other? Society and culture do not work like that. Culture makes us as much as we make it. It gives us context in our lives and thoughts and actions. I do not find it sexist to celebrate or be attracted to or acknowledge gender. Doing so in a spiteful, competitive way that tramples one side yes, but not the simple fact that gender exists. Regulating gender down to items such as wearing make-up or pants is not really what makes up being a different gender. Woman (or man) is an identity that goes so far beyond that, and I do not believe that biological characteristics determine that either, it is additionally inconsequential to me whether they have biologically male parts or female parts or whether they are surgical enhancements designed to resemble them. What would be the benefit of being a "feminine" man (your words) over a woman in this cultural context of re-defined gender? Nothing, because they would still be utilizing traits of a gender, femininity. So then what do they become? A, er… person! Just a person with some traits! An undefined gray space. That is not a world I want to live in. I like my femininity, I like exploring exactly what it means to be a woman, where exactly the biological and cultural meet, and I am happy to share it with whomever wants to. I am also happy to share space with those who do not, and prefer to define themselves differently in terms of their gender. Thus the idea of having a female mind does not offend because I take in the spirit of identifying, entirely, with the concept of femininity.
Besides which, in your "why do they need surgery?" question, the answer in this case would lie in wanting to be in a prison where your gender doesn't make you fear for your life repeatedly.
I don't even know where to start with this comment. I would suggest reading some Trans 101 to educate yourself a bit on trans-issues. I identify as a ciswoman, so I'm not in the position to speak for Ms.Johnson as to why she's talking about transitioning from being a male to a female.
From my perspective, our genders inform our conceptualisations of biological categories of sex. And our markers of what is biologically determined as sex are sometimes conflictual–ie. genetic determinants of sex can conflict with physiological determinants of sex. Have you ever read anything by Emily Martin? She has a great article titled "The Egg and the Sperm" where she discusses the social constitution of the biological processes of reproduction. Might be worthwhile for you to read it.
I'd suggest reading some of Monica Roberts' writings at transgriot (http://transgriot.blogspot.com/). It might help you recognise some of your cisprivilege.
"If you'd read my post you'd have noticed that I said people who ducked challenges should be considered forfeits/losers."
I did read that. That's why it sounded like you meant they should be compelled to actually play the match. She's essentially suing to change the rule back so that people who duck her challenges get hit with a loss. Right now they don't.
"Why are women who way more than their knees and backs can support defended while anorexics are looked down upon?"
Because overweight women have been shit on for several decades based on nothing besides their weight while anorexics were, for a time, held up as the literal model standard.
Actually, I see very little backlash towards anorexics today and never really have witnessed much at all; attention paid to them tends to be of the "they have a disorder and need help" type.
Actually, high school teachers can have 120-150 students or more (25-40 each period, varying numbers of periods, different class sizes depending on district), and that's per year. Assuming the classes are all one grade level (which depends on the size of the school) or at the very least, no repeats, that's 10 years to reaching 1,000 people. Slower than a Youtube video, but I can say I remember teachers for far longer than the vast majority of Youtube videos, even politically important ones.
As for writing a textbook, yeah, you could reach more… IF schools adopted your textbook… if someone published it in the first place.
As of now, textbooks AREN'T doing anything other than being blandly pro-America… in such a way they aren't even good at THAT, at least in history. Read "Lies My Teacher Told Me" (I don't have the author right now, the book is being loaned out) for evidence that textbooks are bad, and that it's really difficult to get a textbook that's not bad published and sold.
(I admit, I'm biased. I'm training to be a teacher right now… in a program VERY oriented towards social justice)
Ok, she is not suing to have them dragged to the court in chains and forced to play against her or spend decades at Robbin Island. She is suing to have them penalized to a much lesser extent than exile to a frontier continent, or burning at the stake. If by "compelled" I'd meant physically forced to play her, or face extreme loss of life or freedom, I'd have been wrong. I'm not sure why that possibility needed addressing, but now it has been. No one will be shot in the head for refusing to play her.
Regardless, she is not suing to be allowed to play against men. She is suing to encourage recalcitrant men from refusing to play against her, or be punished. I hope she wins.
Ugh, Robben Island.
"Penises are only erect when being used for sex, generally speaking."
Um, that's the point. Erotic magazines are supposed to make you think of sex. Erect Penis = visualisation of male sex.
Can you honestly not see how this would be pleasing to straight/bi women and gay/bi men?
This goes to Gretchen below as well: He did serve his time, and I don't want him languishing in prison forever. Fair enough. And yes, he deserves to work. But the man didn't just run dog fights, he tortured animals to death. Why does he get a pass back into a life of extreme privilege? Why does he get to get a life of leisure?
To address your other questions-animal shelters kill animals because they can't place them. The motive is not cruelty, and most shelters try to euthanize animals in a manner to cause them as little pain as possible. As for the meat industry in general-I agree, disgusting, I'm a vegetarian for that reason-but that, at least, is for a purpose. People eat chickens. I think there's a huge difference between what those organizations do, and what Vick did. And no, I don't want the man crucified, but why bring him back to the NFL? Why shouldn't he just go back to a normal life? The fans feel betrayed.
I'm glad that he is doing some animal rights activism, but I have no way to know what's in his heart, and what he did is pretty f-ed up. And I think this counts as a pass.
Look harder. For one thing, anyone skinny is automatically called anorexic. Hey guess what, you can't diagnose mental illness just by looking. You know what else? Some women are naturally skinny. At age 38, I have finally crested 115. My ribs show. My hip bones stick out. My knees are knobby, as are my elbows, wrists, and ankles. My metatarsals are clearly visible. I neither diet nor exercise, and I am not anorexic. I do get very tired of hearing terms like "walking skeleton" though. That's hatred.
Of course! It gives background material for wank fantasies:
"I threw him down on the firehouse table, scattering the baseball cards which had been carefully arranged…"
Big difference between killing animals and torturing animals. Dog fighting is torture.
Maco, I hear you. I'm 34-28-38 and jeans are a nightmare.
However, you and I are still pretty small, and even if I go into a store and can't find clothes that I like or jeans that fit my hips and ass properly, I am STILL SKINNY. Bigger girls don't have the problem of not finding clothes that fit just right; they often can't find clothes that fit at all. So yes, it sucks to have a tiny waist and wide hips in a smaller sense, but not really, because at least we can shop in most stores. Imagine going to a mall and having 3 clothing stores to shop in instead of 30.
But if it's a mag for women…..why would men be looking at it in the first place?
The mag is awknowledging female desire that's not dependent on a real live man. The writer hit it spot on…..society subconscienously believes that sex is something done to a woman by a man….and anything that takes that out of the equation is threating.
No kidding. For as long as I've been conscious of these kinds of things, it's been the feminist norm to express "concern" for the well-being of slender women by calling them anorexic (and implying that eating disorders come from being too dumb to resist patriarchal brainwashing), "theorizing" about eating disorders without trying to learn about them in order to advance an existing point. Meanwhile, any disagreement or critique of anything related to fat acceptance anything is called "concern trolling" or fatphobic.
"Why are women who way more than their knees and backs can support defended while anorexics are looked down upon?"
Because overweight women have been shit on for several decades based on nothing besides their weight while anorexics were, for a time, held up as the literal model standard.
That sounds way too close to "two wrongs make a right" for my comfort. Looking down on someone who's suffering from a mental illness does not pass muster.
Sorry, the second paragraph should have been italicized as quoted as well.
Yeah, I mean, when was the last time you saw an erotic picture of a girl without erect nipples? Looking pale and unexcited? We like our erotic images to show people in states of arousal, duh!
Yeah, I wonder if that's part of the issue…..like women don't necessarily look different when their aroused vs not aroused.
That's how I was growing up. I was a picky eater and only liked vegetables. Candy, cookies, and soda were not allowed in the house. Consequently, I ate a rather low-fat, low-sugar diet. All the other girls on the cheerleading squad accused me of being anorexic because I didn't feel the need gorge myself like they did or share their taste for fried chicken.
My mom was the same way as a child. Her mother force-fed her to try to make people stop saying my grandmother must be starving her. She simply would not gain weight.
I've gained weight since candy, cookies, and soda were allowed into the house when I was 13. My dad getting an ice cream store sealed the deal, and I gained a lot of weight. I was very out of shape.
I'm in better shape now since I eat mostly vegan (I'm lactose intolerant, dislike eggs, and dislike meat), walk a few miles a day (cheaper than taking the bus), drink fruit juice or water instead of soda most of the time. I eat a chocolate bar every week or two and usually one vegan cupcake each week. Vegan cupcakes (dairy-free icing) used to involve walking 3 miles each way to the vegan bakery, but I just moved into an apartment that's only a few blocks from it Occasionally I splurge and eat a half a box of Oreos in one sitting, but that's not daily anymore.
For the first time ever, I'm really happy with my body. It could be better, sure. I could be strong enough to defend myself or have the endurance to run away when men on the street threaten me, but as far as being in a spot where things feel balanced: I'm there.
"Gender" as a social construction is someone's theory. Gender roles and expression are certainly socially constructed, but gender identity (that is, what makes trans people trans) likely isn't. Also, there are butch trans women and femme trans men, which ought to make the distinction between gender expression and gender identity even more clear.
Even if we lived in some genderless utopia, there would still be trans people who felt their body was wrong and would pursue treatment/surgery. But even if there wouldn't be, there are trans people now, and they need to be able to pursue whatever treatments are necessary for them now, even if it runs counter to some perceived ideal society you have. Because, for many trans people, such treatments really are necessary – the other option is often depression, self-harm or suicide.
How is "female mind" sexist? Her mind says she's female, wouldn't that make it a female mind?
But do you know how an anorexic is treated on a day to day basis, among other human beings? I mean – the only example it seems like you can go by is like a talk show. I'm a very skinny – non-anorexic. I'm constantly being accused of being anorexic, people go "eeeeeew you are so skinny" "You have no ass" "your legs are as skinny as my arms!!!" "You need to eat more" "you should grow more curves" "guys don't like women without breasts" etc etc. The really messed up part about it – most of these comments come from other women. I always suspected people picked me apart out of jealousy (because I'm one of those annoying people that doesn't have to exercise or count calories to stay thin).
You wouldn't believe the list of degrading shit people have said to me.
The one thing I WILL point out though, anorexics certainly don't have to deal with OTHER sizest issues that fat people have to deal with – like they can fit into every chair made, can get through any small spaces, can fit in airplane seats etc. I agree that this is a way that fat people are shit on by society that anorexics don't have to deal with.
So one man not wanting to look at another mans penis is homophobia? That's a lot more than just a stretch of logic.
THANK YOU. I am ALSO skinny as hell and definitely NOT anorexic. I got my dads genes – he was 6ft tall at 110 LBS at my age. He's filled out more now – along his waste line but he's still just as skinny everywhere else.
"walking skeleton" IS VERY offensive. I've had to deal with a lot of people putting down and picking apart my body. I know what people are implying when they say I need to eat more, I know that they are trying to be hurtful when they say, "eeeew you are soooo skinny"
I've been compared to rakes, pencils, ironing boards, – basically, all kinds of objects. It seems like it's only tolerated because "models are skinny" – even though most of us who are skinny, don't look like models either.
The weird thing is that almost every guy I know watches hardcore porn – which has lots of hard penis in it… But every single time, I'm with the same guy friends and a limp penis is flashed in a movie – they are all like "eeeeew". I'm always like WTF? You'll jerk off watching other mens dicks – but it freaks you out in a regular film?!?!
I honestly don't get that contradiction.
I think that if women are forced to feel uncomfortable during EVERY SINGLE movie by having to be forced to watch naked women – then men should have to deal with that same experience – see their girlfriends eyes glued to that. I hate watching most movies these days – because it seems like a lot of them are so poorly made – they have to throw some T&A (of women mostly) in them, just to boost sales (ex: harold and kumar excape… – There were like 100 naked women in that movie and the only time they showed a penis, it was totally fake).
When I'm watching a movie with my boyfriend and some naked women appear – if I go to the remote to FF through that section – I'm automatically called "jealous" – when, in fact, I really just don't feel like watching naked women – especially ones with fake boobs (very few movies these days show female breasts that are actually real) because I think they look hideous and I'm just not into it (seeing real breasts doesn't bother me as much). It never occurs to men that maybe some women don't like watching other naked women. Not to mention – in like every single movie that shows naked women – their sexualities are shown the same, exact, generic way (which is another reason I don't like watching sex scenes or movies that show strip joints).
But men have it so fucking easy… If they say "ewe" when a penis is flashed for a fraction of a second in a movie – no one questions it, no one says, "Oh, you are just jealous." It's a pretty bad double standard.
This discussion reminds me of that joke Ron White told.
I agree 100% – look at popular mainstream porn for example… Hardly any of the sex being had looks like it stimulates the woman and were positions that are painful for most women (I've noticed in most porn – women RARELY have hard clits). Most of the oral sex scenes are men getting blow jobs. When there is two men and one woman in a porn – she's expected to pleasure both of them at the same time but if there are two women – with one man – both of those women are focusing on him and usually he ain't doin' a damn thing.
I'm not sure if porn causes men to think this way about sex (though I suspect it plays a part) or if porn is more of a symptom of attitudes in general. Every freaking guy I dated, had to be told to return the favor. It's the most humiliating thing to have to tell your partner that you are angry and hurt because they didn't give a shit about getting you off or pleasuring you. It wasn't just one guy I had to tell this too – it's been all of them. All of which viewed porn fairly regularly.
So now, men are controlling porn mags for women…. UGH.
I agree. I'm one of those women that would rather not see other naked women (unless I'm at a nude beach or something – in THOSE kinds of cases, nudity is not an issue for me). I HATE having to constantly see naked women in every single movie that is rated R. It's not that I think women are ugly or that I am afraid I'll turn into a lesbian – I just prefer not to look at naked women. I'm attracted to naked men… It's definitely not homophobic.
I think the penis thing though, is more about penis envy. If a man catches his wife/gf with one of these mags full of boners – he's going to start feeling like just about every woman in the US feels when their bf's are gauking at women with bigger boobs or flatter abs etc. I think guys are afraid of feeling like they might have to compete with paper and plastic the same way that women do.
yeah but what is a female mind? Explain that. What mind traits do you have that men in this world don't? Or what mind traits do men have that women don't?
I think when we try to break down "minds" using gender – we really run into a lot of trouble.
"I threw him down on the firehouse table, scattering the baseball cards which had been carefully arranged…"
WOW! You're getting me hot with that one!
You should write more! GRRRRRRR!
I think the problem with that "female mind" is that it can come of like, "Females think like this" and "males think like that." – it's probably not what she meant but that is how it can be misinterpreted.
but that doesn't explain why a mag for women can't have erect penis. How long does it take to take a picture??? I hope it doesn't take four hours, or they should get a new photographer.
The point is, a lot of women are arroused by an erect penis. And if a magazine is made to arouse women – then erect penis should be in it!
The basic point is that almost every porn caters to what men want, what turns men on and even when they do attempt to make porn made for women – it can't meet ONE demand.
I mean – obviously this magazine is going to flop anyway (no pun) – no girls are going to buy porn mags with men and limp dicks – for the same reason men don't buy porns with men trying to have sex with limp dicks.
I honestly think that most farms are just as cruel as Micheal Vick. I don't think there is a "reason" to eat meat – other then for taste and human desire to eat meat, dairy and eggs. Even small farms treat animals horribly – in my opinion. Wouldn't people get outraged if I killed off some kittens because they were born the wrong sex? And then when being questioned about it, I'm like, "But male kittens don't sell as well and it cost money for me to feed them – so I kill them in order to make profits." – this is basically how animal farms work. Male chicks – who needs em? Male calves? They are better off dead… Not to mention – cows are basically raped by human beings to make them pregnant. They are FORCED to have babies and then those babies are ripped away for "profit".
The only reason Michael Vick gets all this attention is because most people think dogs deserve rights but cows and chickens don't.
Factory farms don't torture animals? vivisection labs don't torture animals????!?!
I'm sorry but people don't simply kill animals for food – they are kept in tight small places where they can't move. Many injustices are placed on animals in factory farms… cows are raped by human beings to impregnate them for milk, male calves are slaughtered off for veal (who knows how the cows feel about this), chickens STUFFED into battercages – and have their beaks cut off. people think that if they are paying someone else to do the torture and they aren't doing it directly themselves – somehow they aren't responsible. But it takes people purchasing things from these markets, for the market to exist in the first place.
There's an overlap in the U.S. between Arabic or Arabic inspired names and "black" names. A lot of the African origin names given to black women in the U.S. are from areas of Africa with an Arabic/Islamic influence, and black women are also more likely than white women to give their children names from other ethnic groups. And of course, there are black Muslims in the U.S. who take on Arabic names either at birth or after conversion.
"Latifah" is a good example. I thought of Latifah as a black name growing up because I had known or heard of only African American women and girls named Latifah (most famously Queen Latifah) and learned later when I began studying Arabic that it was an Arabic word/name. Same with "Aaliyah."
To everyone that's replied to me: I appreciate the enlightenment. Where I grew up… let's just say anorexia was not an issue. Ever. I was not aware people are routinely called that when it's not the case.
For example, below is a list of "whitest" and "blackest" childrens' names in the U.S., based on likelihood of a child of either race having that name. Several of the black names, including number one, are Arabic origin.
I'm just repeating what I've been told by transmen. There's not enough tissue to make a penis more than a couple inches long. They can graft skin on to make it longer, but it won't be able to get hard. Surgeons just haven't figured out a way to do it *well* yet, like they have for transwomen.
The Store Normally Known As Wanamakers (a Philly fixture) was first a Lord and Taylor's and is now a Macy's. Macy's is taking over the world. I can't afford a damn thing in that place.
Or that they really want to study the craft of acting!
I've gone shopping in the past 10 years, during which I've gained about 50 pounds. It is much, much easier to find clothes when you're skinny. I'm built like you, just bigger, (and in fact had very similar measurements when I was slimmer – if I recall correctly, I was about 35-26-37/38), and the hip/waist ratio thing is a major pain, but you CAN find some clothes that fit your hips and get them tailored to fit your waist.
I literally cannot buy pants in H&M because they don't go above a 16 (which is about the size of a 14 in most American stores). They don't come close to fitting my hips, so there's no way I can even buy a pair and get them tailored. Then when I find clothes that do fit my hips in a 'special' store or department, I STILL have the same hip/waist problem, I just have far fewer stores to find clothes I need to get tailored. I can't shop at the majority of mall or chain stores, and forget boutiques.

Seems fairly easy to modify the IDE for -Wall if I have the IDE on linux/Mac, but not so easy on Windows - any simple trick or do I have to change compiler.java myself and rebuild? Think its time to use a proper IDE...

Use your felted sweater to make a sleeve for a hot to-go drink, or create one of our cozy bags. For the tightest and strongest felt, use a sweater that's at least 90 percent wool. Wash it in hot water (along with a few pairs of jeans or towels for extra friction) and dry it on high heat.

My 9-year-old daughter wets the bed sometimes. She's afraid to go to sleepover parties in case it happens there.
– Darleen
Your daughter's not alone — lots of older kids (and even some adults) wet the bed. The medical term for this is enuresis, and it often runs in families. There are many possible causes for enuresis, and it's not something your daughter can help. But it is something she can get help for — your doctor can look into why it's occurring and help solve the problem.
In the meantime, when she goes to sleepovers your daughter should try not to drink a lot of fluids close to bedtime and should use the bathroom right before going to sleep. Luckily, most people with enuresis eventually outgrow it.

Clearly we are seeing the collapse of an old paradigm no longer sustainable within our rapidly evolving reality. From this point on, we can expect big and spectacular changes to become the norm.
Unfortunately, it appears as if the sheer scope and scale of the Global Currency Reset and all its many components was a far grander and more complex undertaking than any had anticipated. The numerous technical issues which have cropped up recently with NASDAQ, Eurex and the co-ordination with other financial systems such as Forex as well as the newly created International Currency Exchange (ICX) have proven it to be so.
Many, many reports have suggested numerous attempts of the GCR have been done without success thus far. We must now conclude there may still be several important pieces to this puzzle which must align themselves for the Reset to be finally launched. Yet we must appreciate the many steps which have already been accomplished and thus we can confidently determine we are very, very close to completion.
With all of this extraordinary amount of activity, it should be abundantly clear by now we are dealing with much, much bigger undertaking than revaluing one or two currencies. We are deep within the process of a total global phenomenon unprecedented in human history. As we sit now, humanity is at a critical stage of evolution. We have reached the point of no return.
Besides the upcoming date of September 1st, other significant dates to look towards include September 30th which is the end of the Fed fiscal year andOctober 8th when the new symbolic $100 bills will be released, ideally by the newly revitalized US Treasury, and not the Federal Reserve.
It is interesting to note the numerology for the date of August 31, 2013, the ending date before a new paradigm kicks in on September 1st 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 18. Then if broken down to single integer 1 + 8 = 9. Nine is the symbolic number for completion.
If you have been following this story for some time, you have also likely noticed a great deal of conflicting and confusing information has peaked to an all time high. Understandably, you may have reached a point where you are ready to throw your hands in the air in a state of exasperation.
As events accelerate towards a crescendo, we may well be in the midst of what scientists have often referred to as the Chaos Theory. In this instance, reality begins to accelerate into an increasing state of chaos. Eventually, it reaches what appears to be an out-of-control stage. At this point, a dramatic shift occurs taking reality to a much higher level, or a more evolved state of being.
Do not be surprised if the world appears to get even stranger as we venture from an old paradigm into a new. From an old, outdated way of being to an entirely, expanded new one.
One of the greatest detriments to change is fear. As we have discussed in many previous news articles, fear can be a extremely debilitating condition which robs us of our innate power. We must resist the temptation to fall into a state of fear as we come to this critical stage in the future of the Earthly experience, despite the threats which seem to emerge from everywhere.
Ultimately, realize these are tests for us to overcome and all are merely an illusion. They are not real. In the process of overcoming our fears, we will accelerate our evolution that much more quickly.
We have outlined a great deal of very profound changes coming into our reality at this present time. These changes are directly the result of an awakening of consciousness within the human experience.
We must understand, all changes start from within. The world is not happening to us, we are directly affecting the experience we are having by our own thoughts and beliefs. All the conditions on the Earth, whether negative or positive, are the makings of the human mind.
Realize how magnificent a time we are living in as we are now witnessing the world transforming right before us. A long, sordid chapter of slavery, subjugation, fraud and fear is thankfully coming to a close. Directly in front of us lies a much more spectacular and enhanced human experience. And it is here now for the taking.
This time period which was long ago prophesied has been referred to in many different ways such as the great shift of consciousness, Heaven on Earth, or the Golden Age. Whatever label it goes by is of least importance, rather it is the feeling it engenders within which makes all the difference.
For sure, many, many challenges lie ahead us. Yet, ten times as many blessings will become accessible to you and your family like never before as we move forward.
Indeed, the time has come to begin to reap the harvest. And what a bountiful one it will be.

Siouxsie, Blondie, Adam Ant, Mclaren, Patti Smith…
Some years before she found international fame with rock group Blondie, a young Debbie Harry was searching for a taxi to take her to a party in the early hours.
"It was two or three in the morning and I was trying to get across town", she recalled many years later. "I was staggering around on these platform shoes - it was early in the 1970's".
A "little white car", kept driving by and slowing down near her, the driver offering her a lift. And, although she turned him down at first, no taxi materialized. And so, eventually, she climbed in.
Straight away, she regretted her decision. "I knew there was something wrong," she said. "The hairs on the back of my neck stood up."
The man, she said, smelt bad. Also, although it was Summer, the cars windows were up. The future pop star looked for a door - only to realize there were no handles on the door.
Alarmed, she managed to squeeze her hand through a small gap in the door and pulled the door open from the outside. When she did so, the driver spun the wheel and she was flung out into the road.
It was only around the time of Ted Bundy's execution - almost two decades later - that Debbie, by then a household name, would recognize the face of the condemned rapist and murderer as the man who'd given her a lift that night.
Without doubt, she had an exceptionally lucky escape from one of Americas most notorious killers.

Cannes Film Festival Review: 'Blue Ruin'
Jeremy Saulnier's follow-up to 'Murder Party' is a tense, twisty triumph
By William Goss May 21, 2013 9:43AM
Rating: 4.5/5 stars
Jeremy Saulnier's 2007 directorial debut, "Murder Party," was a scrappy, clever horror-comedy about a loner who unwittingly makes himself the target of a high-minded, kill-happy get-together on Halloween. His long-awaited follow-up, "Blue Ruin," ostensibly posits a similar scenario -- a loner inadvertently makes himself the target of a close-knit, gun-toting clan -- but it strikes out with a straight-faced tone, a heartbreaking lead performance and the apparent evolution of Saulnier's talents behind the camera. "Blue Ruin" isn't just a much stronger film than "Murder Party" was; it easily ranks among the best films playing at Cannes so far this year.
Often marginalized in supporting roles, Macon Blair finally lands the lead as Dwight, a homeless man in Maryland who keeps to himself, collecting cans where he finds them, breaking into empty homes for a much-needed bath, forced to dumpster-dive for his meals. His car is his home, a blue Pontiac, rusty and riddled with bullet holes, and when the police come knocking, he isn't surprised. They're not here about the breaking-and-entering, though. The man who killed his parents twenty years before has just been released on a plea bargain, and with wide-eyed panic, Dwight hits the road with revenge in mind.
It isn't long before Dwight finds the man he's looking for, though, and in the wake of an especially sloppy hit, the thrust of the film comes from watching our hero -- a man more clever than he is smart -- attempt to outwit his victim's equally volatile family members and protect what remains of his own kin. (As Dwight's sister, actress Amy Hargreaves has but a few scenes to effectively convey the toll of her brother's absence and their parents' passing.) Writer-director Saulnier lays out Dwight's process with remarkable efficiency, and as each shot informs, every scene holds the tension of plans, however well- or ill-considered, bound to soon go awry.
The violence is unfailingly nasty, the humor suitably dark (with a crossbow wound hitting the sweet spot between those tonal tendencies) and -- most critically -- the human center holds due to Dwight's endearingly short-sighted, continually fallible, yet understandably just mission against those who squandered his own happiness decades before. Initially scraggly in appearance and seemingly more gaunt than ever before, Blair expertly communicates the fear and resourcefulness of his character's daily trials along with the deep-seated sadness, rather than hot-headed righteousness, that keeps him on the warpath in spite of all conventional wisdom that having a gun in hand won't necessarily guarantee that his safety's on.
The result is as misguided a revenge story as any ever told, unburdened by the need to dress up its genre trappings as a heavy-handed parable for more irresponsible real-world retaliations. When Dwight's friend from high school (Devin Ratray) hands Dwight a gun with no questions asked, he makes clear that his help shouldn't be mistaken for support: "This isn't right. This is ugly." "Blue Ruin" is ugly, as much as it's also deliberate, thrilling, spare and sad.

Making the Transition from Imitation to Innovation: An Enquiry into China's Evolving Institutions and Firm Capabilities
AbstractHow is the Chinese economy making the transition from imitation to innovation as the source of sustained long term growth? We address this question using the evolutionary approach to growth in which institutions support technical advance and enterprises develop capabilities to learn and innovate. Growth is seen as a series of disequilibria in which obstacles to innovation such as outdated institutions and weak incentive systems can cause growth to slow. We review existing literatures on institutions and firm behavior in China and compare these findings with those of our survey of Chinese firms in 2006. Industry and firm studies in the literature show how productivity is rising because of firm entry and exit rather than the adoption of new technologies. A striking feature both of the studies in the literature and our survey is the increasing competitive pressures on firms that encourage learning. Our survey of privately owned small and medium enterprises in five high tech industries in Zhejiang province found a market-based innovation system and evidence of much process and some product innovations. These enterprises respond to growing product competition and demanding customers with intensive internal learning, investment in R&D and a variety of international and research linkages.

I don't really know what possessed me to do this. This is a food blog – one that I have neglected for months now – and we are blessedly unharmed after the unspeakable events of this afternoon. But in times when my brain is jumbled and I can't make heads or tails of what's going on, it helps to write it down to sort it out. And I've decided to publish those thoughts because today's events happened in my backyard, in the city this food blog is about.
Maybe it's irrational, but I feel so helpless as I sit holed up in my apartment for the ninth hour. In seeing coverage of similar tragic events in the past (how awful is it that the phrase similar events – plural – rolls off the tongue so easily?), I've always tried to keep the focus on those afflicted.
"I feel so terrible for them." "We should say a prayer for those people." "I can't believe this happened, I wish I could do something to help the families"
Because nothing irks me more than seeing someone make another person's personal hell about them. Feel bad, feel sad, feel scared and disenchanted with the world we live in. Fine. But the pain we all feel from the outside-looking-in cannot even compare to the all-encompassing pain of losing a loved one or having their life forever changed from the despicable ill-intent of others.
But today is different. Today I learned it's not black and white. My prayers and thoughts are, first and foremost, with the victims of the Boston Marathon attack. But unlike "similar events" of the past, today I'm not an outsider looking in, and every replay of the footage threatens to unleash everything I've been too numb to acknowledge.
This morning was wonderful – I had Patriots Day off, so some girlfriends and I decided to start the day with mimosas, fruit, and a delicious assortment of pastries from Deluca's and Wired Puppy. Around 1pm, we went to Globe on Boylston Street, where we split nachos, ordered salads (to reconcile the gluttony), and planned to mosey on over to the finish line to cheer on our friend who was running the Boston Marathon. We would probably elbow our way in front of Forum – it has the best view, and it's where I watched the finishers last year, anyway. Unfortunately, our timing was a bit off. We started a little on the early side, and by around 2:30 we were feeling the effects of morning drinking and a sugar crash, and our friend was still about an hour away, so we decided to head home and nap. After saying our goodbyes, I went upstairs to the apartment I love so much. The one with the charming bay windows, in the heart of Back Bay, on the best block of Newbury Street (in our opinion), and right by the Boston Marathon finish line.
I walked in and barely had the chance to even flirt with the idea of sweatpants before I heard a huge blast. I ran to the window and saw people standing around, a little confused. Some people were running, but it's Newbury Street and there were so many people. I barely had a chance to register the first blast before I heard the second one and felt the whole building shake. It felt and sounded like it was next door, and immediately following were screams of abject terror and a huge crowd of people running. It is exactly like what you see in the movies.
I've never heard a bomb. I knew these were bombs. I knew it in every way a person can know that kind of thing, but the reality that there were bombs going off was unthinkable. Did the stands collapse? Or the stage? Did someone set a record? But panic was already setting in because I knew.
Ryan was working, so I called him because that's what I do when I have no idea what's going on. We had about thirty seconds of frantic –
"People are running, I feel like I need to run away, what if there's another one!"
And then we got disconnected. I frantically started texting and emailing, doing whatever I could to confirm that he was ok. Refusing to leave until I knew where he was, I opened the window and called down to people in the streets, who confirmed it was a bomb. A passing police officer told me to stay put. Ten minutes passed with no word from Ryan, while I watched streets full of people crying, screaming, and running. At one point I thought I saw some officials drag someone to the middle of the street. Looking back, I'm assuming the person was an injured bystander.
Finally Ryan threw the door open and I pretty much collapsed into his arms a sobbing mess, so thankful that he had not been affected by the blast (I still didn't know at this point where the bombs were detonated, and he works in a high profile building). When our call dropped, he didn't know that I wasn't on the street and had the same fear as me, so he ran home to make sure I was safe. We turned on the news, and saw reports and rumors of bombs found in the JFK Library, Apple Store on Boylston (where I bought my iPhone), the glass tunnel connecting the Prudential building and Copley Mall (which Ryan ran across to get to me just moments before), and a nearby hotel facing our cross-street. We realized the second, deadliest blast went off at Forum, the restaurant directly behind our building and one of our favorite neighborhood go-to places. Everyone was telling us to stay put, and that staying home was safest – but what happens when your home is next to the most dangerous place in the city?
Ryan told me to take Maverick and lock myself in the bathroom, away from the windows. He put cushions up against the windows to guard us from a potential blast at the street level. After running downstairs to talk to a police officer about whether it would be possible to get our car and get the hell out (it wasn't), he came and sat in there with us.
For the next two-and-a-half hours, we sat in our tiny, hideously decorated bathroom, responding to the influx of frantic check-ins from our families and friends. Thinking about their genuine concern brings a tear to my eye and humbles me to my very core. The phones were down, but Ryan and I were both texting and Facebooking throughout the entire ordeal with people who, after awhile, were clearly still talking to us because they wanted to know we were ok – for our sake and theirs. We are so thankful to have that kind of love and support in our lives, and there is no way to express that gratitude in a way that doesn't cheapen the sentiment – but to all those people, please know how deeply and meaningfully we appreciated your care and concern. And that it continued even after you knew we were fine.
Finally, we emerged from our cave to watch the press conference (and to ease our aching backs). We remained seated behind the couch for good measure, and slowly settled back in. We returned the cushions to the couch and have spent the rest of the night in semi-darkness, lost in thought, breaking the silence to share musings with each other.
So that's where I am now. This time last year, I was so excited to be living in such a great apartment in a prime location where I could watch the Boston Marathon finishers by simply walking downstairs and taking a left. When the race was over and Ryan came home from work, we sat in our bay window and watched the crazy drunks mingle with the willowy athletes proudly wearing their medals. While the sun went down, we made pizza together and caught up on Marathon footage.
This year, the only people on our streets are wearing vests and army suits. No one is celebrating.
I am not a victim of this senseless act of violence, but that doesn't mean it hasn't affected me in a way others haven't. I think about how close Ryan was to a bomb, and how easily the girls and I could have been standing in that area (especially if a friend hadn't been parked on Dartmouth). I see pictures of the first bomb – on the block I walk down every single day to go to and from work. The Charlesmark Hotel, where we went with my sister and her family last summer. They have monthly wine nights and cocktail nights that I haven't made it to, yet. Sugar Heaven with the funny plastic M&M guy outside, who had holes on the side they had to cover up with signs that said "This is not a trash can!" Every night around 8:30pm, the store employees would drag him back in by his little arms. The Marathon Sports, where I went to buy new tennis shoes when I got serious about running. The Lenscrafters where I bought the glasses I wear as I type this. Forum – great for drinks and a casual dinner, Starbucks – big, by Boston standards, Max Brenner – had great cocktails with friends there…the list goes on.
(Ryan sitting on the patio at Forum during one of our weeknight dinners out. He was eating deconstructed beef wellington and drinking a glass of red wine. As always, it was delicious and relaxing.)
I'm not a victim, but my home is a victim, and all these places that mark my happy memories are now marred with the blood of the injured and memories of the day that changed their lives for the worse. It's personal, and it makes me sick to my stomach every time they replay that God-awful footage.
I've spent the day shaking, intermittently crying, and barricaded in my bathroom with my boyfriend and my cat (who we both agreed would NEVER be left behind). I'm absolutely terrified to take the T to work, and even more terrified to walk to that T stop, past the blown-out windows and stained pavement. Back Bay has always been the Barbie of Boston – cosmetic perfection, materialistic, a little superficial but nice enough that you overlook it, filthy rich, and always, above all, fun. I wonder how this area of the Back Bay will return to its former glory, full of tourists, ladies who lunch, shoppers, and Boston's elite. Can it? And if it does, does that mean we've forgotten what happened here? How can an area like this one memorialize something so tragic and painful and still be that oasis of superficiality people need when they just want to have a good time?
I don't know the answers. The rest of the world is moving on, and the country began returning to normal about three hours after the bombing. But don't let that happen. Go hug your loved ones – for ten minutes, I faced the possibility I could have lost one of mine, and so many more people were not as fortunate. If you pray, say a prayer for the victims and their families. If you don't pray, please send loving thoughts their way.
But if you made it this far, thank you for listening. I needed to get this off my chest.
If you or someone you know were personally affected by today's senseless act of violence, please let us know how we can help.
Also, feel free to vent or share your own story below.

1984 by the American Psychiatric Association
The author examines three studies of the major monetary costs and benefits of psychosocial rehabilitation of the mentally ill; he focuses on hospitalization costs, costs of community treatment, and earnings from competitive employment. In the first study, which compared the effects of psychosocial rehabilitation with those of a support group over a nine-month period, an estimated savings of $1,880 per client was found among the clients receiving psychosocial rehabilitation. In the second study of treatment costs for 40 chronic psychiatric recidivists who were involved in an aggressive home outreach program, an estimated annual savings of $5,000 per client was found. In the third study 101 clients were interviewed six months after they had left a psycbosocial rehabilitation program. Their earnings from competitive employment were linearly related to their length of participation in the program. The author concludes that these studies offer substantial evidence for the economic advantages of psychosocial rehabilitation.

Roller Coaster Ride of Weather
Posted by Tony Ricci on 04/30 at 09:33 AM
Last week brought with it a roller coaster ride of weather events – one day sweating into the black plastic as we lay out the onion crop; the next day freezing in an arctic wind as we try to tack down row covers to protect tender seedlings from impending frost.
And, of course, there was the freak snow storm that came and went like a gaff from presidential candidate. It was horrible at the time, but we were over it by the next day, having forgotten what all the fuss was about as we went on with the daily task of surviving in an uncertain world.
Candidates, mercurial weather, flat tires, mutant stray barn cats that have developed the talent for opening the grain bin to pillage the cat food … These are all just distractions from our true purpose which is to get to the end of the day, to have a decent meal and a couple beers, and to complain about candidates, the weather, and the futility of trying to get cats to change their behavior.
The list is spare again this week. Yes, the cold weather has everything to do with it. But summer is definitely on the way. There are rumors of hothouse tomatoes on the horizon.
Rhubarb and asparagus are still holding out, but we should see them soon.

- "I rescued you!"
"No you didn't. Rocky was loading the water tower on my flatbed, and now it's smashed!"
- — Thomas and Duck
|Saved You!
Michael Angelis
|Air date
September 12th,
|Previous episode
|Next episode
Saved You! is the tenth episode of the twelfth season.
Thomas has to take a fireman to Maithwaite for a medal ceremony and decides to try and help the engines on the way. But all of his attempts end in failure when Rocky drops a watertower, Harvey goes down the wrong line, and Gordon cannot find Toby. Thomas asks Percy to collect the fireman, then goes to sort out the messes he's made. However, he gets to prove his heroism by taking some children to the medal ceremony after Bertie gets stuck in the mud.
- Thomas
- Toby
- Duck
- Donald and Douglas
- Bertie
- Sir Topham Hatt
- Lady Hatt
- Alice
- Gordon (does not speak)
- Percy (does not speak)
- Harvey (does not speak)
- Rocky (does not speak)
- The Fireman (does not speak)
- Emily (cameo)
- Annie and Clarabel (cameo)
- Two of the Percival Twins (cameo)
- Stock footage from Thomas and the Storyteller, Thomas and the Lighthouse, and Thomas in Trouble is used.
- Two pictures from a magazine story show Harvey with CGI faces; but throughout this episode, he had a model face for unknown reasons.
- This episode marks Alice's first speaking role.
- This episode marks Donald and Douglas' last appearances to date, and Harvey's last appearance until the seventeenth season episode Gone Fishing.
- This marks the last appearance to date of the breakdown train, aside from the Works Unit Coach.
- When the water tower breaks, some pieces land on Thomas' line. But in the next shot, his line is clear.
- Thomas should have easily seen Rocky, especially if he had seen Duck.
- Duck has a correctly proportioned face unlike in Excellent Emily, but is still missing his cheekbones.
- When Toby breaks down, he makes "diesel noises".
- When Thomas pulls Toby off the mainline, Toby derails.
- A fireman would not get a medal just for saving a cat from a tree.
- When Thomas reverses back to the points before rescuing Toby, in an aerial shot, a steam platform is visible.
- Thomas can't go through the line after the water tower fell onto the rails.
- How can the engineer fix Toby with Toby's side-plates still attached to his main frame?
- In the close up shot of Douglas, his tender is derailed.
- Harvey has a different whistle sound.
- In a photo of Thomas and Duck, some of Thomas' mechanism is seen.
- In many scenes, the character's CGI faces are not positioned correctly.
- Brakevans should have been added to Emily and Duck's trains.
- Rocky should have known not to drop the water tower if Duck's flatbed was not in position.
- When Bertie is stuck in the mud, his driver and his passengers are not CGI.
- Bertie has Caroline's horn sound.
- There is no mention of a signalman switching Thomas to and from tracks when he is shunting Toby.

We have just got a few laptops here for SLT.
When they are using them at home using a cached account they can't get their home wifi working, looking at the event logs it seems its trying to connect to the domain, and no dns servers are configured (don't even think its picking up an address from DHCP).
Aside from anything PEBCAK related - is there anything I should be aware of?
*edit* is it proxy?
I've just logged onto a laptop here with wifi switched off and the proxy settings are still in the registry
yeah ignore, think its the proxy, just have no way of testing here - created local account instead

Tyson Alualu said he prayed to God over his contract. God answered saying "Didn't I already answer your prayer when you were selected #10? I advise you sign". God had to run saying CJ Spiller was on line 2.
Alualu signed for 5 years and $17 million guaranteed, $28 million overall. The Jaguars need to win to get out of the top ten area of the draft, the quality isn't that much better for the money. Tyson, welcome aboard, now get to work, Joe Cullen wants to see you.
This is the last I will write about contracts (I hear you applauding), now it is on to football.

Homeschool Quotes Series: Day 6
Don't forget to check out the other bloggers participating in the Quotable Wisdom link up with iHomeschool Network. Today's quote is meant to share a little laugh, but there is definitely some truth to it. Homeschooling is full of the unexpected. We have two choices. We can get excited and stressed out, or we can turn whatever has come up into a learning experience. I've been on both sides of this coin. Too often, I choose the stressed out option and no one wins. I'm learning to embrace … [Read more...]

FAIRBANKS, AK-Tthe CCHA, it is no more. The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame won the last CCHA title with a 3-1 win over the Michigan Wolverines over the weekend.
All the CCHA hockey members will be in different conferences next year. The CCHA has been around for 42 years. The conference has produced 8 NCAA champions, 179 All-Americans, seven Hobey Baker award winners, and over 650 NHL draft picks.
The big reason for this was the formation of the Big Ten hockey conference with Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State playing in the Big Ten next year.
UAF will be in the WCHA next year and the National Collegiate Hockey Conference will be in its inaugural season featuring teams like Miami Ohio and Western Michigan. UAF got to the Joe for the first time 2002 and went to the NCAA tournament in the 2009-2010 season for the first time in program history as members of the CCHA.
As mentioned the Nanooks will be moving over to the WCHA which recently revealed their championship sites and a snazzy new logo. The Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs will be called the Final Five and will be in Van Andel arena in Grand Rapids Michigan in 2014 and 2016. In the odd years 2013 and 2015 the Final Five will be in Saint Paul Minnesota at the Xcel Energy Center.
Out of the ten team conference the top eight get into the postseason. The top four seeds will have home ice in a best of three series. The Final Five will be a single elimination playoff.
WCHA teams: UAF, UAA, Bemidji (Buh-Midgee) State, Bowling Green, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State, Northern Michigan and Alabama-Huntsville a division 1 independent program.

Artist: TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos
Title: After Dark, My Sweet Remixes by Joash
Cat No: CPT 378-3
Format: Downlaod
Quotes: Joash Remix is superb, some images come to my head, excellent! Really like the "Something Happened"' instrumental Fabrice Lig / i love the album. the instrumentals now are also good. Karotte / Really like the Joash Remix Robert Luis / thanks alot for sending this. that joash remix is a brave remix take! – never heard anything like that on compost in the past 14 years… besides that, the "birthday" instrumental is nice. Iron Curtis / Great remix by Joash ! Great instrumentals guys dis is dope Simbad / great The album was one of my favourite of 2010, so I'm happy to have these new versions will review! Rambaud Ludovic /
Info:In an ocean of formulaic techno, preset house music and festival one hit wonders TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos eleven track debut album "After Dark, My Sweet" (with remarkable artwork by Amsterdam graffiti hero Delta) indeed is a flashing bright red beacon to hold on to. Upon demand we finally present the instrumental versions of some of the most respected album tracks, plus a superb remix by Joash !
Music made without any stress or time pressure, which captures all the emotions the duo experienced, be it joy, loss or love. London based Joash proves again his musical sensitivity with a cinematic broken jazzy rework of "The Deep End". Since his debut track 'Salome' was selected for Compost Record's highly acclaimed 'Future Sound Of Jazz' compilation, ("Salome" was played by Gilles Peterson more than one time at his Worldwide show), Joash has been working hard to create his brand new debut album "Don't Fear It, Fight It". (Remixes by TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos an others coming soon!)
