The problem with the welfare epics idea is that it crosses a time = reward boundry. Someone made a very good post about 2-3 months back (that i am now going to slaughter). Basically it was along the lines that in PvE its about the quality of the gear, and in PvP its about the quantity. If that makes any sesnse. Good PvP is based around a fact that everyone is equal. So you make gear relatively acessable to all and put alot of gear outthere so that the best can get it quickly. In PvE you want to have a edge gear wise on an opponent (boss). So you put progressively better loot as you get deeper into progression.
When PvErs talk about welfare epics, they see people getting raid quality loot eazier than they are getting it, by not putting forth as much time and effort. The problem is they are looking at it from a time/effort = quality scenario, whcih doesn't apply in PvP.
They are two very separate things, and wehn you try to cross the boundries it gets sticky.

I disagree. PVE takes more time investement than PVP, but PVP takes more effort. I've done both, and PVE is more about placement, a couple of button sequences, and trying not to die. PVP is more about outsmarting your opponent, having intimate knowledge of how your class works, and using terrain to your best advantage. PVP is all about repitition, PVE is never the same thing twice. The only class this theory doesn't effect are healers, who have to work their ass off regardless if its PVP or PVE...

Darn it, that line should read: PVE is all about repitition, PVP is never the same thing twice.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. - The trial of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West on weapons charges has been postponed until July 21.
Authorities say West was carrying two loaded handguns, a loaded shotgun and a Bowie knife while riding a three-wheel motorcycle on the Capital Beltway in Maryland in September. Police say he was pulled over after cutting off an officer.
West's trial already had been postponed from February until April 26. On Tuesday, a judge granted a request by West's lawyer for another postponement.
West is charged with carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a handgun, transporting a handgun, reckless driving and negligent driving.
The charges are misdemeanours. Each weapons count carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.

Food adventure @ Hero
In the mood for something different from the usual foods that can be purchased at uni, YHL, RM and I decided to make a short trip up Royal Parade/Elizabeth St to grab a bite from Hero one Friday lunch time. Having heard that it can get quite busy, we made sure to leave uni just before the peak lunch hour began.
It's a good thing we had decided on takeaway because the extremely cosy venue only had a few seats anyway. Touted as a revolution of the sandwich kind, Hero is essentially the gourmet answer to sub sandwiches - think refined version of Subway! With six different subs to choose from, each sounding as delicious as the next, alongside a selection of sides and donuts, we had some tough decisions to make! Funnily enough, we ended up ordering the same thing…
Catcher - panko crumb shrimp tossed in Hero's secret seasoning, and slaw, finished with homemade thousand island dressing.
The panko batter was delicately textured and possessed much crunch. Their secret seasoning was slightly sweet and had a touch of spiciness, while the dill brought an aromatic kick. Underneath this golden layer of tastiness was a fresh, tender prawn. The slathering of thousand island sauce gave rise to a sweet creaminess, and the lemony slaw added a zesty freshness that balanced out with the heavier components perfectly. The bread itself tasted fresh and its texture somewhat similar to a Vietnamese bread roll - soft on the inside, with a slightly crunchy exterior.
Shoestring fries, with Hero secret spice.
The fries were super crunchy; you could hear the crunchhhhhh as you chewed! Its seasoning was very similar to a cross between instant noodle flavouring and that used on BBQ-flavoured chips.
Hot ball donuts, with chocolate or jam filling.
Unfortunately feeling too full from the sub and the fries, I had to leave aside the donuts until much later in the day. Served warm, the donut shell would have no doubt been crispy if eaten immediately, and the hot filling would have been a wonderful companion. By the time I had gotten around to it, the donut tasted similar to packaged donuts from the supermarket, but a tad fresher.
YHL on her decision to go with chocolate over the jam: "If I'm going to be sinful, I might as well go all the way!"
While slightly more expensive than Subway, you easily get bang for your buck with the sensational quality of the ingredients used and the tasty combination of flavours. If it was just a little closer to uni, I could easily visit Hero on a frequent basis for lunch. Shame.

Victims' Stories
Breaking the silence
She felt so embarrassed about what had happened to her that she never told anyone in her new town a single thing about herself. She pretended to be a cheerful person, but only she knew the emotional turmoil she faced daily, awakening every morning to images of her perpetrator harming her. After being raped repeatedly for almost a decade in her own home, she somehow gathered the strength to run away and lodge a report. Now, two years later, she must finally face her perpetrator in court.
On the day of her court hearing, her tears fell down without her noticing it. Her hand suddenly became icy cold, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. She was so nervous she could practically hear her heart beating out of her chest.
Even though she had WCC staff, Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP), and two police officers by her side, she was still so terrified at the thought of seeing the accused's friends or family that she wore her 'purdah'. As we were walking to the side door of the assigned meeting room, we saw from afar a large group of people whom we later found out was associated with the accused. We recognised the intimidation factor immediately, and were glad the DPP had requested a closed court hearing, to ensure the victim's privacy. The DPP told us that even she felt intimidated by the crowd when they confronted her previously.
In this first pre-trial briefing with the DPP, the victim was able to tell her story to the DPP clearly despite her initial discomfort. Her concerns and queries were addressed by the DPP, including a request for a screen to be placed in front of her during the upcoming trial, so she would not have to face the man who caused her so much harm. The feeling of speaking out for herself, of telling the world how much she's suffered, helped her relate the painful details of the abuse, details she had previously repressed, to the DPP. Despite the disappointment of the trial being postponed without her giving evidence, the victim later said that our assistance helped alleviate some of her stress and fears she had been holding inside.
WCC Rape Support In Court Trial
This particular client is an incest victim and she represents one of the two victims the WCC supported in trial during the months of January-March. We supported her throughout the process, ensuring her right to a private trial, calming her nerves during the pre-trial briefing, and making her feel safer by requesting the two officers by her side. We also assisted her in other issues of her trial, discussing with her the awkward necessity of explaining her case to her colleagues and taking leave at work, as well as informing her of her right regarding witness' travel claim for attending court.
We can only imagine how unbearable the legal process is for her as a vulnerable victim of a sexual crime. Many women in this same predicament have no knowledge of what they may face. Due to their perception of the horrors to come, many decide to simply not go to court at all, leaving their perpetrator free to harm others. The WCC provides victim support to ensure justice in court, to ensure the victim's rights are taken into consideration, and to minimize the emotional trauma these court cases can cause.
Victim advocacy for rape victims in court is clearly crucial, not only to the woman involved, but to the greater community. WCC knows the importance of this advocacy, and continues to push for more assistance and guidance for the victims in need. To this end we are currently working on a user-friendly court booklet especially for victims in which the crucial needs of victims in this position will be addressed.
I still lived in fear
I am 17 year old. I come from a family of 5 children. My father is the bread winner of the family and my mother is a home-maker. Since young I have been close to my father even though he is a very strict person. He always has the final say in all decision-making in the family.
My father first started raping me when I was 7 years old. I did know that what my father was doing was considered rape. Initially, it started by my father asking me to watch pornographic movies with him and he asked me to do exactly what we had viewed in these movies. Many times he would force me to have oral sex with him. During this time he told me that what he was doing was in fact "an act of love" from a father. Hearing this, I allowed myself to believe that my father dearly loved me.
When I entered my teens I started feeling really uncomfortable about what he was doing. I began protesting whenever he wanted to have sex with me but he always managed to force himself on me. He usually raped me when my mother was not at home. After each incident of rape he threatened that he would marry another woman as second wife if I talked about the incident to others. I afraid that I would lose my family if this happened, I felt helpless and "trapped" in this situation for I felt I was responsible in ensuring that nothing bad happened to my family. Whenever my father picked me up after my extra-curriculum activities in school, he used to take to certain places where he had anal sex with me. This often took place whenever my mother was at home. He used to rape me at least 10 times a month.
As time passed I decided to put a stop to my father's advances. I ignored his threats and told some of my friends about it. They advised me to inform my mother but to my surprise, when I did, my mother refused to believe me. Later, I felt I had no choice but to leave home. Eventually with the help of my boyfriend, I left home and sought shelter from a women's NGO. At last I felt safe. Then, with the help of a counselor from the NGO I made a police report. My father was arrested that very day and I was "removed" by the Welfare department (since I was still underaged) and placed in the Children's Home.
During this time I was unable to attend school. It was also the year when I was about to sit for an important exam. After a month, through the juvenile court, my aunty was given temporary custody over me. I stayed with her and completed the exams. But I still lived in fear since my father was out on bail at that time. However, my uncle assured me that he would not allow my father to "hurt" me again. I was quite angry with my mother since she continued to take the side of my father in that he was innocent. Later, my mother contacted me in order to ask me to withdraw the case. She said that my father had "turned over a new leaf". At the same time my uncle subtly advised me to drop all charges against my father. Worse still, they accused me of having had sex with my boyfriend and placing the blame on my father. After thinking about this, I felt I had no choice but to drop the charges as I was afraid I would lose the family environment. At the moment I am staying with my family. My father is also staying with us.

Located in Southern Africa, an enclave of South Africa. Basutoland was renamed the Kingdom of Lesotho upon independence from the UK in 1966. The Basuto National Party ruled for the first two decades. King MOSHOESHOE was exiled in 1990, but returned to Lesotho in 1992 and reinstated in 1995. Constitutional government was restored in 1993 after 7 years of military rule. In 1998, violent protests and a military mutiny following a contentious election prompted a brief but bloody intervention by South African and Botswanan military forces under the aegis of the Southern African Development Community. Constitutional reforms have since restored political stability; peaceful parliamentary elections were held in 2002.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I need your help Tumblr!
Okay guys, so I'm thinking of making this video for UKM, and I need your help!
The video is in two parts.
Part 1 will be people from different parts of the world (or from as many different countries/ethical groups as possible) explaining what they think love is. This can be in a poetical way, in a few simple words, you can quote famous people (for example: "as Shakespeare would say.." or "in the words of Oscar Wilde.."), you can scream, sing, roar… Note: it doesn't have to be in English! As long as you add English subtitles (Google translate language fine, we just need to know what you mean!), you can speak in whatever language and dialect you please. And there is no "wrong" answer. I would like if all the videos are positive about love, but if you feel like saying for example "Love is the hardest, most excruciating thing you have to go through in life", I'll accept that just as much as I'll accept "Love is the best thing in the world". Part 1 is open for anybody, you do not need to have a boyfriend/girlfriend for this part. You can also talk about love not just in a kissy-kissy-goo-goo-eyes way, but also in an I-love-my-family or I-love-my-best-friend or hell, I-love-my-dog type of way.
Part 2 is going to be people with their other halves doing whatever they feel like. The only rule here is no violence or sex (clothes on please people). Any sexual orientation is welcome, as is any age (yes, I mean any age).
There will be no quality control on videos. Also, it's not mandatory that you show your face in part 1, in which case there will be pictures showing while you talk (submit as many as you want of anything that you think goes under the category "love"). And remember: I want a lot of people and a lot of footage, so you most likely won't be on camera for very long (let's say clips will be max 20 seconds long), so get what you want to say into as few a words as possible, and kiss the hell outta your girl/boyfriend!
I already have a music track picked out, so you guys don't have to think about that!
To submit you can either send me a link to the video(s) (upload it to a place of your choosing online) via message on tumblr (to my url please: moomintrollporn.tumblr.com) OR send your video/link to this email: sweetemotion.hotmail.com (this is not my personal email address..) Remember in emails to add your tumblr/youtube name if you want it shown on the video (the finished result will be public on youtube as well as being shown at UKM). Also, any requests or changes you would like done, or parts of the videos you would especially like to be shown must be written in the message/email.
So just to sum things up:
Have I forgotten anything? Send me a message with questions etc.!
Deadline: 10th January
And one last thing: TELL PEOPLE! Like I said, I need a lot of footage, so if you know someone who would be interested, send 'em a message (and reblog this even if you don't want to be in it yourself, so other people can see!)
when your straight friend who doesn't know that you're gay asks which boy in the restaurant you think is hot while you are checking out the waitress.

CoreLogic® March Home Price Index Shows Slight Year-Over-Year Decrease of Less Than One Percent
SANTA ANA, Calif., May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of information, analytics and business services, today released its March Home Price Index (HPI®) report which shows that nationally home prices, including distressed sales, declined on a year-over-year basis by 0.6 percent in March 2012 compared to March 2011. On a month-over-month basis, home prices, including distressed sales, increased by 0.6 percent in March 2012 compared to February 2012, the first month-over-month increase since July 2011.
Excluding distressed sales, month-over-month prices increased for the third month in a row. The CoreLogic HPI also shows that year-over-year prices, excluding distressed sales, rose by 0.9 percent in March 2012 compared to March 2011. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.
"This spring the housing market is responding to an improving balance between real estate supply and demand which is causing stabilization in house prices," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "Although this has been the case in each of the last two years, the difference this year is that stabilization is occurring without the support of tax credits and in spite of a declining share of REO sales."
"While housing prices remain flat nationally, in many markets tighter inventories are beginning to lift home prices," said Anand Nallathambi, president and chief executive officer of CoreLogic. "This is true in Phoenix, New York and Washington, for example, which all reflect higher home price values than a year ago. A continuation of this trend will be good for our industry across U.S. markets."
Highlights as of March 2012
- Including distressed sales, the five states with the highest appreciation were: Wyoming (+5.9 percent), West Virginia (+5.3 percent), Arizona (+5.1 percent), North Dakota (+4.7 percent) and Florida (+4.5 percent).
- Including distressed sales, the five states with the greatest depreciation were: Delaware (-10.6 percent), Illinois (-8.3 percent), Alabama (-8.0 percent), Georgia (-7.3 percent) and Nevada (-5.8 percent).
- Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the highest appreciation were: Idaho (+5.4 percent), North Dakota (+5.1 percent), South Carolina (+4.7 percent), Montana (+3.5 percent) and Kansas (+3.4 percent).
- Excluding distressed sales, the five states with the greatest depreciation were: Delaware (-7.6 percent), Alabama (-4.1 percent), Nevada (-3.9 percent), Vermont (-3.9 percent) and Rhode Island (-2.9 percent).
- Including distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the national HPI (from April 2006 to March 2012) was -33.7 percent. Excluding distressed transactions, the peak-to-current change in the HPI for the same period was -24.5 percent.
- The five states with the largest peak-to-current declines including distressed transactions are Nevada (-59.9 percent), Arizona (-48.6 percent), Florida (-48.1 percent), Michigan (-45.1 percent) and California (-42.7 percent).
- Of the top 100 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) measured by population, 57 are showing year-over-year declines in March, eight fewer than in February.
*February data was revised. Revisions with public records data are standard, and to ensure accuracy, CoreLogic incorporates the newly released public data to provide updated results.

The CoreLogic HPI incorporates more than 30 years' worth of repeat sales transactions, representing more than 65 million observations sourced from CoreLogic industry-leading property information and its securities and servicing databases. The CoreLogic HPI provides a multi-tier market evaluation based on price, time between sales, property type, loan type (conforming vs. nonconforming) and distressed sales. The CoreLogic HPI is a repeat-sales index that tracks increases and decreases in sales prices for the same homes over time, including single-family attached and single-family detached homes, which provides a more accurate "constant-quality" view of pricing trends than basing analysis on all home sales. The CoreLogic HPI provides the most comprehensive set of monthly home price indices and median sales prices available covering 6,688 ZIP codes (58 percent of total U.S. population), 617 Core Based Statistical Areas (86 percent of total U.S. population) and 1,166 counties (84 percent of total U.S. population) located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

In pretty much every realistic scenario for a warlock in 3.3.3, spellpower will be the largest DPS gain for the itembudget, so alternatives aren't worth gemming (at some points haste will be equal 1 to 1, but 1 haste is more itembudget than 1 spellpower). There is sufficient readily available hit gear (such as the otherwise maligned triumph trinkets) that this will rarely be a significant gain. Due to the prevalence of yellow sockets on gear, you're better off gemming hit in those and using prismatic sockets for spellpower, which translates the optimal gain of BS into 46sp. However if you really are a very fresh 80, then your point holds and the hit setup may be more valuable.
Flexibility is only worth something if there is a need to go in that direction, and often there is not.

Rafa took on his friend and compatriot David Ferrer in the first men's semifinal match in Rome. You know, I'm not sure I actually like watching matches between these two. They are my two favorite players and I always feel torn. Yes, my main allegiance is to Rafa, but my heart breaks for Daveeed with every loss. I often get the feeling they don't like playing each other either - both feeling stuck in their assigned rolls (dream crusher/second fiddle). Even with the shaky start Rafa had today, the outcome just about always feels pre-scripted. Any way, Rafa is through to the final: 7-6(6), 6-0.

I actually made it to the tournament in time to see Rafa practice today. Yea! I watched him for about an hour and 45 minutes with fully charged batteries in my camera. Again, yea! You can see some of the best pictures here. Here's one:
I love Rafa in this red. I hope it is the French Open Red. I forgot to mention another minus for this tournament is no Nike shop. I was hoping to pick up the French Open shirt for myself.
He hit with Alejandro Falla today, the man who holds the distinction of having one of my 2 favorite names in tennis, the other being Fernando Verdasco. I'm sure he's honored.
Once again I took a position at court level on the other side of another practice court. This seemed a better option than standing over top of Rafa's court, as this establishing shot illustrates. It was packed up there, but I got to stand by the railing where I was with no one in front of me.
Practice was pretty unremarkable. I couldn't really tell how well he was doing, because as you can see, I couldn't see the court. He acted subdued, seeming neither contented, nor disturbed by his play, so no clues there either. He played a good long while in his practice set with Alejandro. Maybe they got in 2 sets.
One funny thing did happen toward the end, Rafa saw something with the court or on the court (I don't know, I couldn't see it.) Then everybody had to look at it while Rafa walked away and laughed, but they were still looking.
As Rafa was finishing up, David came in carrying a racquet in a Babolat plastic bag. My first thought was it had something to do with Prince's financial problems, but then I realized that it's just what the stringer put it in. I did not see any ill effects from David's fall yesterday. That's a relief. Anyway, David says "hi."
After practice I watched a bunch of Spaniard's play matches. First I saw Dolgopolov beat Andujar in straight sets even though Pablo could have served out the first-set tie breaker.
Next I watched Feli and Jurgen Melzer in center court. It was sad the Feli lost, but I have always liked Jurgen as well so I'm happy for him. It was a good close match.
Then I saw the end of Fernando's doubles match. He played with David Marrero against Tsonga and Dolgopolov. When I came, Jo/Sasha were serving for the match, but Fer/David managed to break and go on to win the second set 7-5. The Super Tie Break was close and exciting with the Spaniards pulling it out 12-10.
Next was Marc and Marcel against Raonic and Troicki. The strategy was clear for this match: hold your serve, forget about the games Milos is serving and break Viktor. It worked perfectly as they broke the Serb once in each set to win 6-4, 6-4. Marc had blue clay on his knee from kneeling at the net. You know how he likes to pour water on his thighs during change over? Well, he was working hard not to wash off the blue on his knee. Hope you saw my tweet about the bag he brought onto the court.
Here's an arty picture of Marc serving out the match as the sun went down.
I know there are some of you out there that want to know about getting my hands on the blue clay. I did manage to pick some up today — it was just lying on the sidewalk. But I had nothing to put it in so I put it back on the ground. And drum roll please… it felt like dirt. And it stained my hand. Okay I am getting a zip-lock bag now so I can be prepared if I have the chance again. You know who you are!
Rafa plays his first match tomorrow! Or actually today, during the part of the day that I'm sleepy as opposed to now even though it's 3 AM. The good news is I'll be over this jet lag in time for the Rome tournament when I get home.
[Note from miri - I'm going to pretend that all the mentions of Marc! in this article are properly followed by an exclamation point. My brain cannot comprehend any other option.]
So the good news is I found out how to get information on the practice schedule. A guy sitting next to me at David Ferrer's practice handed me a print out that you can get at the information desk. The bad news is that it said that Rafa had already practiced from 10-12. Rats, I was sure he wouldn't practice before his event for AlmaNadal. But what do I know? So I didn't get to see Rafa at all today, but I guess a few of you did on TV.
Well, I can share about David's practice. He was hitting with the always entertaining Alexandr Dogopolov. They were playing a practice set after the warm-up, like the players usually do. Ferru was up 4-1. He was playing pretty well and doing the fun sliding that is a hall-mark of the clay game that has been missing this week. While they were taking a rest on a change-over, Federer and Wawrinka showed up as they were scheduled for the next time slot on the court. As they went out to finish their set, Sasha joked with David, "Whoever wins the next game wins the set." I think it was 30-30 when one of David's slides didn't turn out so well. He fell, twisting an ankle. He was slow to get up, covered in blue and done for the session. I hope he's okay. He was scheduled to practice again at 5 PM, but I didn't make it back in time to see if he did.
Here are some other things I found amusing this week:

Looks like, maybe, just maybe, a new official Rafa website is on the way. There's a contest on the home page now to win a signed t-shirt and be the first to know about the new site. Enter now.

Asthma Health Center
Types of Asthma
Do you know the different types of asthma? Advances in our understanding of asthma have helped experts define specific types of asthma, such as exercise-induced asthma (asthma that occurs with physical exertion) and nighttime asthma (asthma that makes sleeping miserable and is quite serious). Understanding the type of asthma you have can help you seek the most effective treatment when you have an asthma attack.
Allergies and Asthma
Allergies and asthma often go hand-in-hand. Allergic rhinitis (also called hay fever) is inflammation of the inside lining of the nose and is the single most common chronic allergic disease. In those with allergic rhinitis, increased sensitivity (allergy) to a substance causes your body's immune cells to release histamines in response to contact with the allergens. Histamines, along with other chemicals, lead to allergy symptoms. The most common allergens enter the body through the airway.
With allergic rhinitis, you may feel a constant runny nose, ongoing sneezing, swollen nasal passages, excess mucus, weepy eyes, and a scratchy throat. A cough may result from the constant postnasal drip. Many times asthma symptoms are triggered by allergic rhinitis. Your doctor may prescribe medications to control the allergies and, in doing so, the cough and other asthma symptoms may subside.
For more detail, see WebMD's Allergic Asthma.
Exercise-Induced Asthma
Exercise-induced asthma is a type of asthma triggered by exercise or physical exertion. Many people with asthma experience some degree of symptoms with exercise. However, there are many people without asthma, including Olympic athletes, who develop symptoms only during exercise.
With exercise-induced asthma, airway narrowing peaks five to 20 minutes after exercise begins, making it difficult to catch your breath. You may have symptoms of an asthma attack with wheezing and coughing. Your doctor can tell you if you need use an asthma inhaler (bronchodilator) before exercise to prevent these uncomfortable asthma symptoms.
For more detail, see WebMD's article Exercise-Induced Asthma.
Cough-Variant Asthma
In the type of asthma called cough-variant asthma, severe coughing is the predominant symptom. There can be other causes of cough such as postnasal drip, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD or heartburn). Coughing because of sinusitis with asthma is common.
Cough-variant asthma is vastly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Asthma triggers for cough-variant asthma are usually respiratory infections and exercise.
For any persistent cough, contact your doctor. Your doctor may order specific asthma tests, such as lung function tests, to show how well your lungs work. You might need to see a lung specialist for further tests before an asthma diagnosis is made.
For more in-depth information, see WebMD's Cough-Variant Asthma.

Of Course Larry Clark's Art Show is Full of Bare Teenage...
By Jennifer Krasinski
The daughter of a Lutheran pastor and a distant relative of one of the founders of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Darcey Steinke has an intimate relationship with "Pentecostal hysteria," as she puts it. In her fourth novel, Milk, she creates her own brand of Christianity, obsessively physical: Sex becomes a florid, religious event. For the un-virginal heroine, Mary, the orgasm is a "little God," involving butterflies, baby lambs, and "icy teaspoons" of dirt.
A postpartum-crazed "spooky chick," Mary is so consumed by her newborn son that milk ("the Great Beyond") perpetually drips from her nipples. Wavering between spiritual enlightenment and total lunacy, she prays in random coat closets, her voice muffled by cashmere, her knees pressed against extra rolls of toilet paper. When her hipster husband gets fed up with the "God stuff," she starts sleeping with a former monk, having wild sex (in a nursing bra) while thinking about whether or not the baby is hungry.
Bristling with references to the Virgin Mary as "porn star," Milk reads like a perverse Bible fable, unified by the idea that the church holds "the same cozy qualities as your bedroom." In her afterword to Joyful Noise, a collection of essays about religion, Steinke writes that "our physical connection to our mothers . . . raises the hair on our collective necks." In this jarring wisp of a novel, she probes the possibilities of that first bond, both erotic and otherworldly.

Hey everyone ... I need a hand here please :)
I'm using the column wrapping trick taught in the css sitepoint book by Dan schafer. I'm having a few problems, all heeding different results in different browsers ... the notable one being the footer. This is supposed to be pushed down by the content as you'd expect, its not doing that if you look through the pages.
The other problems are:
2) Section headers (like "Dentists concerned with impact of pop on kids teeth" and "Test Your Dental IQ" are not showing right, they are supposed to be vertically centered over the images they are on top of now.
3) There are white spaces in the login box on the left ... shouldn't be, should be all that light orange colour in the BG.
4) Also the search box at top right, the text input is off ... iit and the 2 images on other side are supposed to be vertically centered together ...
What am I doing wrong here? The link is:

Thanks so much! :)

October 26, 2011
Head Coach Joe Paterson announced before the season
opener that his team's leader in 2011-12 would
be the youngest captain in Phantoms history. 24-year-old
Ben Holmstrom was given the honor of the "C"
on his jersey.
"He does all the little things. He wins faceoffs
and blocks shots. He's not as much of a vocal
leader, but he really leads by example," said
Head Coach Joe Paterson on the decision to name
Holmstrom Adirondack's captain.
The Phantoms' "new" captain in
the 2011-12 season is Ben Holmstrom, who assumed
the title from Dan Jancevski, with the latter now
serving as an assistant captain along with fellow
700-game AHL veteran Denis Hamel.
"We have a good group here. Lots of guys
who were here last year who provide us with good
leadership," Paterson said.
Although for Holmstrom, a second-year pro who was
the Phantoms team MVP last season, this isn't
the first time he's led his team. Holmstrom
was a three-year captain of his college team (UMass-Lowell)
and also captained his junior team, the Sioux Falls
Stampede (USHL).
out this vintage interview with "Captain"
Holmstrom from college.
The team is bestowing the responsibility on the
hard-working Flyers prospect who has garnered the
respect of his teammates. He now becomes the Phantoms'
all-time youngest captain previously held by Boyd
Kane who assumed the captaincy at 25 with the Philadelphia
"During the offseason, (Flyers General Manager)
Paul Holmgren, (Flyers Assistant General Manager)
John Paddock and I got together and decided Ben
had to be the guy," said Paterson.
"It's really flattering," commented
Holmstrom on his new title. "Leading a team
is a group effort and we have lots of guys who lead
on this team, who don't necessarily wear letters
on their sweaters. But still, it's a huge
While the 6-foot-1, 180-pound center out of Colorado
Springs, CO may not be the most-vocal leader in
the league, he does all the things that help teams
win games, beyond making plays and scoring goals.
He's a key player on face-offs, the power-play,
the penalty-kill, and on both ends of the ice.
In his senior year in college at UMass-Lowell,
he was named Hockey East's top defensive forward,
becoming the first UMass-Lowell player to receive
that honor in 11 years.
Along with the 38 points (16g, 22a) he produced
last season and his responsible defensive play,
Holmstrom isn't afraid to mix it up either
if his team needs a spark.
Although not known as a fighter, here's Holmstrom
taking on legendary Ottawa Senators tough guy Chris
Neil, long considered one of the most-feared NHL
the video here.
On March 5, "Benny" was called up to
the Philadelphia Flyers and made his NHL debut against
the Toronto Maple Leafs. He came close to being
the only Phantom to play in every game in 2010-11.
But he was called up to the Flyers for a second
time in April and thus missed an Adirondack game
on April 6. He ended up playing 81 total games last
year including 79 with the Phantoms and two with
the Flyers.
With his enhanced leadership responsibilities in
Glens Falls, the Flyers are hoping they are grooming
their hard-working prospect for longer and more
regular stays in the NHL in the years to come.

They arrived at the NHL holiday break having played two of their best games in recent memory and now the Rangers (18-18-2, 38 pts) look to carry that momentum forward as they skate against the Washington Capitals (19-14-4, 42 pts) Friday night at the Verizon Center. The Rangers beat the Minnesota Wild 4-1 on Sunday and the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in the shootout prior to the break bringing an end to their nine-game homestand, finishing with a disappointing record of 3-4-2 record, but at least on a high note.
What the Rangers can feel best about---above and beyond the four points they earned in the final two games before the break--is that they played two of their best matches in quite some time Sunday and Monday, often dominating the opposition by controlling large swaths of play with superior puck posession, prime scoring chances, and stout defesnive play. While that had not been their calling card for much of their nine-game homestand, the final two games---and much of the final half of the homestand where they finished up 3-1-1 the final five games---were much more to the liking of head coach Alain Vigneault.
Of course Vigneault has a pretty major decision to make when the Rangers open up a five-game road trip in Washington on Friday: who will be his starting goaltender? The team's No. 1 goalie Henrik Lundqvist really struggled in the month of December, in particular on the just-completed homestand where he allowed three goals or more in seven straight starts while posting a 1-4-2 mark. Meanwhile back up Cam Talbot started both of the wins against the Wild and the Maple Leafs, lowering his goals against average to an incredible 1.60 in the process while raising his record to 8-2-0 in ten starts and 12 appearances this season.
Vigneault knows he must get Lundqvist back on top of his game, while at the same being aware that the Rangers need as many points as they can get right now, having squandered more than a few this month already. So does he go back with his No. 1, the recent Vezina Trophy winner, or does he ride the hot hand and come back with Talbot? It will be a decision not made known to reporters or fans until the morning skate on Friday.
The head coach was extremely pleased with all facets of his team's game the last two contests, though he would like to see some of his top guns break out offensively, for sure. The scoring chances have been there for the likes of Rick Nash---who had a game high six shots on Monday--and Brad Richards, but the goals have not been flowing like they were earlier in the season. Nash has one goal in his last nine games, while Richards has gone eight straight games without scoring a goal.
Others have stepped up, however, as evidenced by J.T. Miller's clutch score on Monday, Derek Dorsett with two points (including a goal) in his last three games, Derick Brassard with four points (1-3-4) in his last four outings, and Benoit Pouliot stepping up with a five-game point-scoring streak.
The lineup should remain the same as the Rangers play their first road game since a 3-1 win up in Buffalo on December 5th. Marc Staal (concussion) has resumed skating, but he is mot yet ready to rejoin the lineup. The Rangers enter play having won eight of their last ten road games, and are 10-8-0 this season away from Madison Square Garden.
The Capitals come into play winless in their last two games, and with just one victory in their last four (1-2-1). They sit in second place in the Metropolitan Division, just four points up on both the Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers. Their 12 home wins (12-8-1 at the Verizon Center) are tied for fourth most in the Eastern Conference.
Washington is power by Alex Ovechkin, who already has scored a league-best 30 goals in 37 games this season after leading the NHL with 32 goals in 48 games a year ago. Ovechkin had his four-game goal-scoring streak snapped two nights before Christmas, and he recently had a four-goal outburst against the Tampa Bay Lightning, his sixth multiple-goal effort this season. However in two games against the Rangers this season Ovechkin does not have a goal nor an assist.
After Friday's contest the Rangers will face the Lightning, the Panthers, the Penguins, and the Maple Leafs on this five-game trek. The road trip ends in Toronto on January 4th.

This and that.
Plot twist: A fat protagonist has a compelling arc and stays fat the whole time, because using weightloss to signify personal growth is fucked up and also lazy writing.

LADY GAGA has announced that she will be offering free counseling services for her fans on her "Born This Way" tour, entertainment news reports.
She really cares for her fans, doesn't she?
Following her public stands against eating disorders and her battle against bullying, Lady Gaga continues to reach out and help her fans by offering counseling services before each of her next few "Born This Way" concerts starting January 11…
…free of charge!
Gaga, who's had her own fare share of personal troubles in the past, announced on her Twitter on Friday:
"For those wondering about the 'counseling' at the BTWBall BornBrave pre-show, it will be a fun tailgating experience for monsters to unite."
She continued:
"At the #BornBraveBus you have access to professional private or group chats about mental health, depression, bullying, school & friends. There will also be food and games, DJ White Shadow and Lady Starlight will DJ with host #BREEDLOVENYC to keep the experience fun."
As for why she chose to have it, she explained:
"#BornBraveBus Is a place where mental health + depression are taken seriously w/ no judgement, FREE real help available to all. I feel like most kids don't look for help because they feel embarrassed so mom + I wanted to break the stigmas around 'help' and make it fun."
She does have a point.
But do you think this gesture would be greatly appreciated or do you think her fans will be offended that she thinks they need counseling?

Arrogant Boy [12] Alex GaskarthJay-Z's new album = amazing. I don't really like that type of music generally, but it's way good. I ate pizza for breakfast this morning. Why am I so healthy? Rate & Message. xx.
"I'm going to miss you, so much." Alex said into my hair.
We were in the airport and my flight was boarding. I had said goodbye to the rest of the guys and the various other people I had met over the last month before coming to the airport. Now, it was just Alex and I.
"It's going to be weird without you." I mumbled, turning my face and kissing his neck lightly.
"I know baby, but I'll see you soon." He mentioned, in an attempt to cheer us both up. "And we do have phones so if you're ever lonely I'm just a phone call away."
"Yeah, I guess." I said sadly. I pulled out of our embrace and kissed his lips for the final time. "Bye Alex." I whispered against his lips. He pressed his back to mine a few more times before kissing my cheek and allowing me to go.
As soon as my ticket had been checked, I turned around and waved at a forlorn looking Alex. He waved back and shoved his hands in his pockets. My heart thumped heavily in my chest as I turned and made my way toward the plane.
New York City. How I had missed this place, my home. It was loud and obnoxious but beautiful and serene at the same time.
Except, I couldn't help but feel a little empty here, something was missing. I knew it was him, and I snuck a glance at the ring on my finger which brought both a smile and a frown to my face – if that's even possible. What kind of situation had I landed myself in?
Alex's Mom had called him the morning I left and interrogated him about our status. He told her that we were engaged but wanted it to be a long engagement. She bought it, thankfully.
I was placing a tray of the most delicious looking cupcakes I think I had ever made under the shop counter and as soon as I looked up I came face to face with none other than my father.
"Dad?" I asked sceptically, wiping my hands on my black apron.
"How dare you not come Sunday evening." He spoke sharply.
"I was in Maryland Dad." I said exasperatedly.
"I told you to come back." He growled.
"When have I ever listened to you?"
He scoffed. "I suppose that's true. We rescheduled anyway, dinner is tonight, at our loft."
"Good for you." I said sarcastically, cleaning the counter a little.
"You are expected to come."
"Again, when have I ever listened to you? What gives you the right to order me around? I'm twenty years old!"
"I am your father, I have given you everything!" he yelled angrily.
"I've been completely independent since I was seventeen Dad."
"And who bought you your apartment? Who gave you this shop? Who payed for everything?"
"What do you want from me?"
"I want you to come to dinner tonight at six. Dress nicely." He looked me up and down and frowned before walking out of the bakery.
I rolled my eyes and looked at my watch. 11:00am.
The day went on and went by far too quickly for my liking. I stole a cupcake from one of the emptier trays and placed it in a bag for myself before putting the rest of the left over goods into boxes and bags ready to be picked up by Marty. Marty worked for an organisation that went around to various food places, picking up the leftover food and distributed it out to the homeless people around the City.
I left the food at the door before locking up and walking – as slowly as possible – back to my apartment, picking at my cupcake along the way.
Once I got to the apartment – it didn't feel like home anymore, so I didn't refer to it as that – I stripped off my clothes and jumped into the shower. After drying myself and blow-drying my hair, I applied a little makeup and threw on a dress. My phone began to ring and I put it on speaker as I put on all my accessories.
(Outfit = http://www.polyvore.com/untitled/set?id=12199333)
"Hello?" I answered, putting my earrings in.
"Hey baby! Missing me?" Alex's smooth, melodic voice instantly brought a smile to my face.
"No, never." I said seriously.
"Don't lie."
"You love me."
"I'm having dinner with my parents tonight. My Dad yelled at me for not going last time." I told him, sitting down on my bed and playing with the engagement ring.
"Maybe they miss you El, they are your parents."
"Yeah but they haven't missed me for three years why are they starting now?"
"They probably realised that they have an amazing daughter and they want her to be a part of their lives."
"That was sweet. What're you doing?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Packing for tour, the house feels weird without you; I have to cuddle Bas at night." I giggled.
"I'm sure he loves that. It feels weird to be back here, I don't even like my apartment anymore." I grabbed my clutch and chucked in a chapstick, some cash and my keys.
"Oh well, maybe we can make your move to Maryland permanent someday." Alex said. A smile spread across my face as I pulled my shoes on and walked out into the front of the apartment.
"Maybe." I teased. "I have to get going Alex, I'll talk to you soon."
"Alright, later babe." He paused before adding, "I love you." I heard the boys in the background laugh and make whipping noises. I laughed.
"I love you too, have fun on tour."
He made kissy noises and I hung up, laughing at his antics.
I walked out of the apartment, locked the door and waved down a cab. I told the driver my parents' address and sat back, preparing myself for the hell that was likely to ensue.
"Ella! Honey, you look beautiful!" my mother gushed as she ushered me in from the elevator.
"Thank you mother." I said politely. I had promised myself that I would be civil tonight, for my sake; I wasn't in the mood to argue.
"Ella." My Dad, nodded at me as I entered the living room where my father sat with an older a couple a guy around my age.
"Dad." I smiled.
"Sheryl, Joe, this is our daughter Ella."
"Oh isn't she stunning, Margie!" the blonde woman exclaimed.
"Yes, she is." My mother said proudly. "And Ella, this is Christian DeMarco, Sheryl and Joe's son, he's twenty-two."
I turned my attention to the handsome guy sitting on the loveseat by himself.
"Hi, I'm Ella." I held out my right hand, but instead he lightly took hold of my left.
"Beautiful ring." He admired, I shut my eyes quickly. I had meant to take the ring of before I came.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Ella! What is this?" my mother said, roughly taking my hand from Christian's hold and looking at the ring before dropping my hand all together. Her eyes were narrowed and I looked at my father to see his were much the same.
"I, um, I'm engaged." I stuttered.
"You're what?" my mother asked menacingly.
"To whom?" my father boomed at the same time.
"Um, his name's Alex." I said nervously. Every pair of eyes in the room were on me and I felt my face heat up under their stares.
"Congratulations sweetheart." The woman, Sheryl, said, kissing me on the cheek.
"Yes, congratulations." Her husband said, smiling at me.
"He's a very lucky guy." Christian said.
"Thank you." I said softly to them.
"Could I speak with you for a moment Ella." My mother said acidicly, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the kitchen.
"What the hell are you playing at?"
"What do you mean? I'm not allowed to get engaged?"
"No! You are not!" she screeched.
"Why the hell not?" I seethed.
"Because your father and I – "
"It makes no difference what you and Dad want or have planned. It's my life." I yelled at her.
"What did we do to deserve you?" my mother whispered.
"Nothing Mom, you did nothing. Luck just wasn't on your side."

Location to Metro
Lobby smells like the bilge of a ship.
The room was very comfortable and the location was great.
The hotel needs updating, although it looks like that is scheduled. The register by the pool wasn't working so we weren't able to get drinks or food by the pool, so we didn't enjoy the pool at all and it was a lovely weekend. That was very disappointing.
Great location, very safe area and close to public transport. Surrounded by cafes and restaurants.
Undergoing some renovation while I was there. I'd love to see it when it's finished as what I saw was promising. AC was *extremely* loud.
Price was low, probably because of the renovations. Location was excellent.1/2 a block from the metro station. Very friendly staff.
location close to metro and restaurants, rooftop pool and bar, room and staff helpfulness.
It is being refurbished so I expect that was why it was such good value, though the works did not really impact on us. Both rooms did not have a safe and there was no alternative facility. Bathroom a bit cramped but adequate.
Location was good. The bell service staff was very helpful.
Rooms were old and outdated and didn't get cleaned well. There was construction going on in the hotel that was loud and disturbing... Furthermore the hotel did not tell me prior to my trip about the ongoing renovation and the noise it would cause.
Although I understand the hotel is undergoing renovation, the room I stayed was poor with stains on the ceiling and the bathroom. The carpeting of the room was unacceptable. If you are not prepared to close the hotel, at least reduce your rate.
Great location
Renovation all over the hotel.
The room and the situation
The staff and the breakfast (low level products)
Don't stay here unless you enjoy the "crack-house" vibe, worst hotel I've ever stayed in.
not far to Sightseeing, Food, Shopping. Subway very close
The whole Hotel was a building place, smelling from paint. Workers blocked the elevators Staff did not find the booking.com Reservation, so check in lasted 30 minutes. enyoing that you automatically have to pay "Service" of 10 Dollar per day (they say it is for internet etc., but actually is is Independent on the use of Internet).
The roof top pool and bar. Did not feel like you were in DC.
They were doing construction at the hotel so it could be a lot of noise.
The location and proximity to the metro were great. The roof top pool was nice as well.
The hotel is under going renovations. As a result the hallways are torn up and you may have to step over or around debris to get to your room. The elevators were also not consistently working throughout my stay. Finally, the restaurant is closed for the duration of the renovation so other than a very sad continental breakfast, the hotel offered no food or drink options outside of their vending machines after 10am.
The location was excellent. We were a stones throw from the Dupont Circle metro. The included breakfast was better than expected. Considering the location and included breakfast it was a great value.
We booked this hotel mainly for the location, but also for the highly advertised unique roof deck pool. It was indeed a lovely view, but there was supposed to be a bar with drinks and food operating pool side. This bar, however, was completely closed down both nights we were there. Also according to the posted pool rules, no children were allowed after 5pm, but when we got there at 8pm the pool was being used soley by children, 3 of them. So much for a romantic night-time swim. We also had to use our own room towels at the pool because we couldn't find any located poolside. Aside from the pool, our other major issue was the elevator. Only two of the three were operational and these two were not functioning properly. To add to the frustration, next to the signs apologizing for the elevator problems were posters advertising their planned renovations for next year, teasing images of a delightfully luxurious looking Embassy Row Hotel. Of course the fact that the hotel was in need of renovation was note mentioned while booking the room. So we felt a wee bit conned. It was still a good hotel for the price and I would recommend to others, but just give them the heads up that we didn't get about elevators, and the pool.
Breakfast is also good.
Aisle stairs dirty very wet and smells bad and I booked a large suite, than the photo, a small room a lot and no refrigerator, no free parking, parking for at least $ 45 a day, Check also took a long time.
Located just a few steps from Metro. Clean, comfortable, quiet room. Very nice neighbourhood. Shops, restaurants & bars nearby. Breakfast included. Good value for money.
There had been a flood so clean up work was happening on my floor.
hotel is a little old and that makes it a little crampt and out dated. Having said that, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is just okay and location is super. Would stay there again just for the location.
Location was exceptional. I liked the rooftop pool.
The hotel was very understaffed. One person checked everyone in so it took a while. The hotel needs to be renovated which it will be this fall. The part of the hotel that I was in flooded and no one gave the guests any instructions about what to do. We packed and ran out just as the water rolled into the room. It was fend for yourself. After a lot of angry guests appeared, the manager finally showed up and helped locate guests in other hotels.
The roof top was really nice had a lovely a swimming pool and bar area. The breakfast was good lots to choose from.
We booked for 3 adults and when we got there we had one bed. They charged us extra for a camp bed. They added lots of extras on to the price we where told when booking.
Liked how easy it was to find and it's proximity to dupont circle. The rooftop pool and bar are a nice touch. The staff was friendly and breakfast was pretty good. The stay paid for itself! Area was quiet but close to all the action. Check out the bartender Rich for a great drink!
Bathroom didn't have a fan so theroom got humid when we showere. Check out was slow, either more staff or a quick check out box would help. A few plug outlets in the room didn't work.
I like the breakfast
TV screen is so small
Very accomodating
The pool, the breakfast, the people on the front desk were lovely. The beds are comfortable.
Great location, centrally located and close to the subway. great for sightseeing. The hotel itself was very clean and comfortable. The roof top pool was amazing!
Noisy guests are my only complaint
The quality of this hotel was on par with a motel 6, Ramada inn, and other 2-3 star hotels. Curtains were ripped, ceiling had water stains and was drooping, wall paint was chipped, windows were dirty, etc. The "complimentary breakfast" was worse than the standard one at a place like Ramada inn. If it weren't for the fantastic location this hotel would be a run far and fast kind of bookings.

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Julius Brown tallied 23 points and eight assists to help Toledo stay unbeaten on the young season with a 103-99 victory over Stony Brook in a 2K Sports Classic Subregional hosted by the University of Detroit Mercy.
All five starters scored in double figures for the Rockets (4-0), with Rian Pearson and Nathan Boone each collecting 15 points and J.D. Weatherspoon recording 12 along with seven rebounds.
Toledo also got a strong overall effort from the foul line, knocking down 34- of-42 attempts at the stripe compared to an 18-of-25 success rate for the Seawolves. Brown finished a perfect 10-for-10 on free throws, while Weatherspoon went 8-for-12.
Stony Brook (3-2) fell despite a brilliant performance from Anthony Jackson, who poured in 36 points and made good on 7-of-9 shots from 3-point range. Jameel Warney ended 8-of-11 overall from the field while totaling 17 points and four assists.
The Rockets will take on host Detroit as this round-robin event resumes Saturday, with Stony Brook facing Florida Atlantic.
