MANILA, Philippines – Conversations with faceless strangers from different parts of the world. Instant celebrity status through viral video and memes. This very article you're reading right now. What do these 3 have in common? All of them are powered by new media.
With developments in software and hardware technology, the period referred to as the "advent" of digital communication has perhaps reached its peak. New media has found its way into the daily lives of the people who consume it.
So much so that new media has descended on, arguably, the "oldest" form of media known to man – journalism. Not only are people now reading news websites instead of the daily paper, even media practitioners themselves are publishing their articles online.
"New media, especially social media, makes journalism more participative and democratic," said blogger and journalist Tonyo Cruz, one of the organizers of Social Media Day Philippines. "There are no more captive audiences. We get instant reactions right ahead."
Cruz added that the digital environment empowers the ordinary citizen to share his or her own version of the news. According to him, the Internet makes it possible for anyone to be a journalist, or a columnist even, thus breaking the "monopoly of information" that was once prevalent.

Former UFC heavyweight titleholder Tim Sylvia takes on Tony Johnson on May 31 at ONE FC: Rise to Power in Pasay City, Philippines, and hopes to re-energize his career with a win.
Sylvia (31-8-1) has held the UFC heavyweight title. He's fought on the biggest stages in mixed martial arts. But at 37 years old he finds himself at a crossroad. He's either going to be a nice addition to Johnson's resume or recapture some of his previous glory.
"Well, he's going to have it, it's just going to be, 'I was knocked out by Tim Sylvia.' He can have it all he wants, I just don't know if he wants those words after it, but that's what's going to happen," Sylvia recently told MMAWeekly.com content partner Knockout Radio.
Sylvia knows the door is closing on his career and would like to make another run in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he is tied for the most title defenses in the heavyweight division.
"Well I'm 37, so my ultimate goal was to be done around 40, 41 at the very latest," said Sylvia.
"No one has beat my record, yet. Randy (Couture) and I have tied it. I don't know what is going to happen in the future of the UFC heavyweight division. Ideally I would like to finish out my career where it started and that is in the UFC. There's great fights out there for me and I'd like to put on a great show for the fans on the biggest stage there is, and that's obviously the UFC," he said.
Sylvia departed the UFC in 2008 after requesting to be released following his UFC 81 loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira with one fight remaining on his contract.
"Randy will never be back in the UFC, but there's a chance I probably won't either, so what do you know? It almost happened, but we'll keep our fingers crossed and hopefully there's still an opportunity for me to go back," he said.
Sylvia feels he has unfinished business in the UFC, particularly with Frank Mir.
Asked who he'd like to fight in the Octagon, Sylvia answered without hesitation. "Frank Mir, first and foremost," he responded. "You know, unfinished business man. He broke my arm and I wanted to keep fighting and they wouldn't let me, so I'm irritated."
More MMA
Sylvia threw out another name, Pat Barry, even though the two are actually friends.
"I'd like to fight a striker so that we could put on a good show. I have a good friend, Pat Barry, who is in the UFC. I think if him and I fought it would be Fight of the Night or Knockout of the Night. Someone would go to sleep and it would be Fight of the Night," said Sylvia. "We might be able to score both of them. One of us gets Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night. We'd put on a good show. We've had some good sparring sessions so it would be a good fight for the fans.
"I know he brings it and so do I, so something bad is going to happen to one of us," he added.
Before Sylvia has any hope of returning to the UFC, he has to get past Johnson at ONE FC: Rise to Power on May 31.

I doubt Dana will let him back in the UFC, but if big Tim wins his fight,and maybe one more fight, I think it would be more then fair to let him back in the UFC, Sign him for one fight, see how he does, at least give him a chance, he put on some damn good fights for us real mma fans.
I can think of a few fights in the UFC that would be fun with Tim, I would like to see him fight Mir, or mitrione,or even Duffee. There are for sure some great fights for him. I hope someday he gets back in the UFC.
The problem is, of course, Timmay is not willing to get paid like Duffee, Barry, or Mitrione.
He will ask at least 150k per fight, and this is a steep discount from what he was getting immediately prior to his exit from the UFC.
That is where things don't make sense for the UFC. Why pay a guy $150k to make him fight Pat Barry or Mitrione????????
That is also the issue with Barnett and Arlovski as well. Dana doesn't hate them to a point where he would refuse to sign them out of personal hate.
Barnett and Arlovski will easily ask for $200k ~300k, which is what is being paid out to top HWs.
If he does win he would make a decent "field filler" in the HW division, but he will never have another title run.
There are a good few match ups he could have in the UFC before he can call it a career.
he is too expensive. And he is getting KOed by nobodies in minor leagues.
Paying him $200k to see a close decision win/loss to Matt Mitrione doesn't sound like a good deal for Zuffa.
Affliction paid him something like $400k for his loss to Fedor. If Tim is serious about going back to the UFC, he needs to realize he will need to take a serious pay cut. He's not even worth mid card salary, IMHO, but there are some fights that would be interesting to see before he retires.
It was 800k
Ouch, no wonder Affliction is history as a promoter
Sylvia is not going to cut down to $80k just for the sake of fighting in the UFC buddy.
If One FC offers $90k, he would go fight there instead of the UFC for $80k.
I guess we'll find out how badly he wants to be in the UFC when he gets a low ball offer
What he wants is a way back to UFC with a pay raise. he wants to do well at his current place, build up hype, and then get a decent contract with the UFC.
I highly doubt he wants to go back just for the sake of going back.
i was hoping arlovski won his last fight which i think he did, the only round i had johnson wining is the first and he spent the 2nd and 3rd getting stuffed and stuff but whatever. i was disappointed though with that cuz i want to see arlovski get back and to be honest i wouldnt mind seeing sylvia come back even though he is just an average heavyweight at best. but dang dude isnt it about time to stop hoping and start putting on good enough performances where it shouldnt even be a question? ill see an article of tim talking about getting back to the ufc and all this but he ends up losing his upcoming fight or the one right after that. but if he is asking for cain or jds money i wouldnt bring him back, hell i wouldnt even bring em back for kongo money. not trying to strait bash him cuz by all accounts he is a good dude but thats not enough to get into the big show.
Too expensive, a bit over the hill, and Satoshi Ishii is far better than him …
Over the hill …..hope I don't ever see him or Arlovski in the UFC!
I doubt Tim would ask for that kind of money he knows his stock has gone down significantly which gives UFC the ultimate bargaining power (if they were to make an offer). Tim has always put on good fights & yes win or lose there's alot of interesting match ups for him regardless of who's put in front of him. He's alot more humble now don't assume he will be too expensive if he's desperate to Finnish his career in UFC
Why does anyone really care how much Dana is willing to pay him or how much Tim will fight for? The real question is who really wants to see him fight? If you think Mir vs Cormier was boring ( and you should) then Mir vs Sylvia will be a snoozefest for the ages.
he is fat, slow and irrelevant, no way coming back to the UFC
While we're at it lets bring back that fat sumo wrestler from UFC 1…and I bet Dan Sevren will be up for it too. Tim Sylvia is never going to step foot in the octagon again. He is soooo far below the level of the current UFC HW's that it would be dangerous to put him in the cage with them…

Hands-on Activity: Solving Energy Problems
Winner - 2009 Premier Curriculum Award for K-12 Engineering
Educational Standards :
Learning Objectives (Return to Contents)
After this activity, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the technological method of problem solving, and be able to apply the method to a real-life problem.
Materials List (Return to Contents)
No materials for this activity except the attached Energy Project Worksheet.
Introduction/Motivation (Return to Contents)
The first step in solving a problem is to understand what you want to accomplish. It is critical that you identify what you already know about the problem, as well as what you need to learn.
In this activity we will apply the Technological Method of Problem Solving to get started on the energy project. The energy "problem" discussed thus far includes issues related to a limited supply of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions and other air pollutants. Engineers have been developing solutions to this problem. Some of the solutions help to make devices such as cars use fuel more efficiently. Other solutions focus on identifying new energy resources that we can extract for useful work or power.The development of renewable energy resources should help to make our energy systems more sustainable for the future.
Individuals can also make decisions and choices that help to address our energy challenges. People can choose to use less energy (conservation), buy products that use energy more efficiently (efficiency), or install new energy systems for their homes (new sources). Individuals are solely responsible for decisions related to conservation. Both engineers and consumers are responsible for making and purchasing energy-efficient products or equipment to utilize renewable energy sources (for example, solar panels). In the energy project introduced today, solutions that conserve energy, use energy more efficiently or introduce new energy sources could be appropriate.

China releases censorship rules for console games, and there are a lot of them
We've known China was getting game consoles for some time now, but as we get closer to foreign consoles actually going on sale on Chinese shores, we're starting to get additional info. The latest information comes from recent a Shanghai government release detailing the rules for foreign consoles aiming to be sold in China. It's a lengthy document, but here are the highlights:
Foreign companies can produce and sell game consoles in China, although they do have to work with a local partner and operate out of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
All games will have to be approved by the "culture department in charge". Happily, this refers to the local Shanghai government culture department, not the probably-more-strict national Ministry of Culture.
(See: Microsoft's Xbox plans in China: cheap games, less censorship?)
The approval process for games will take no longer than 20 days. That's a happy surprise, as getting approval for cultural products can sometimes take much longer.
Games that are not approved will be returned with the reason for their rejection clearly stated. That certainly suggests that rejected games may be easy to fix and resubmit. Content that won't be allowed in games includes:
- Gambling-related content or game features
- Anything that violates China's constitution
- Anything that threatens China's national unity, sovereignty, or territorial integrity.
- Anything that harms the nation's reputation, security, or interests.
- Anything that instigates racial/ethnic hatred, or harms ethnic traditions and cultures.
- Anything that violates China's policy on religion by promoting cults or superstitions.
- Anything that promotes or incites obscenity, drug use, violence, or gambling.
- Anything that harms public ethics or China's culture and traditions.
- Anything that insults, slanders, or violates the rights of others.
- Other content that violates the law
Obviously, many of these can be interpreted broadly or very selectively, but there's reason to hope that the Shanghai local government will take a less broad approach than the Ministry of Culture might have. However, it seems highly unlikely that some of the West's more controversial games (think Grand Theft Auto) have any chance of making the cut.
Game updates must also be submitted for the approval process. This probably will not apply to minor patches, but anything with new in-game content (DLC, for example) will need to be submitted and go through the same approval process, even if the game itself was already previously approved.
Console games must have a simplified Chinese version. This means that companies can't simply re-sell Hong Kong and Taiwan versions, which use traditional Chinese characters.
It's hard to know whether to be hopeful or pessimistic after reading through this release, as it will really depend on how the Shanghai government chooses to enforce these rules. But in a post about the new rules on Netease games included a reader poll that asked for readers' opinions. More than half of the respondents so far selected "As soon as I saw the rules, I lost hope." But as of this writing only a hundred or so have responded, so those results may not indicate anything.
(via Netease Games)
Microsoft's Xbox One plans in China: cheap games, less censorship?
A recent BesTV earnings call has revealed new information about Microsoft's Xbox joint venture in China and its plans for the country.
The law is meant to be broad enough to censor whatever they want when they want, so they keep the right to shutdown the whole thing at any moment they wish. Did you expect otherwise? haha.
Probably still better than OFLC Australia.
One thing for sure though, China won't ban GTA, it's one of the top selling games of the world ! China wouldn't want to miss that chance.
@Leon, not every politician can be bought and sold.
The PS4 and XB1 will sell millions of consoles in China now, great for the Chinese games industry – Think of those millions millions of Chinese mobile gamers who fed up with rubbish cheap sahllow 'free to play' rubbish touch control mobiles games who are hungry for proper next gen console gaming with amazing graphics on a big screen TV and a proper controller!
No violence : 50% of games: fps games
No drugs, sex: mgs4 snake can't smoke, watch his porn magazine
No offenses: Nathan drake enemies can no longer say 'fuck you'
Etc etc
Basically, only angry birds games will have a chance to be approved. but hey, that's violence against animals, birds: forbidden
Uncharted 2… in the Tibet level…the game has no chinese flags: forbidden
What about a game where we control a Tibetan man, and we must fight against chinese rapists, killers, etc, to try to live freely in peace. Forbidden ?
Or a game where a guy must avoid being smashed by communist tanks? Forbidden?
Or a game where the chinese government support, promote and send packs of 100 chinese people and a few tons of cheap shit ,and they send all that to different countries,so they invade markets with cheap clothes, cheap shitty things they sell 1$ per kilo, and they open dirty restaurants where they prepare nems and shrimp raviolis on the floor, where the 20 workers are all 'cousins', 'brothers and sisters', ' oncles', dad and mom', and 10 people sleep in the same tiny bedroom, and then the chinese government send them another pack of 20 'cousins and brothers' to work there, for free, and they must give their passports to their 'owners', or 'master chief', to avoid running away.
And in these game, you play a fed agent that must stop the slavery and human traffic to export the Chinese 'culture' to 100% of the world.
Will this game be forbidden or accepted?
This makes me ANGRY!
Gamers WORLDWIDE should stand up for gamers rights in China!
Is there any way to help Chinese gamers,"and gamers in any nation?" I won't grab my proverbial pitchfork and torch yet, because we need to figure out peaceful, level headed solutions to this.
This is downright depressing, and wrong.
This means shit all. You can still buy any game you want, any console you want at any computer mall in Shanghai. From any region.

Saturday, May 31st
I wanted to try to post one more time for the month of May, but I really didnt want to post more City and Colour photos just yet since I posted so many in the past few weeks. I went through all the stuff I have shot recently and I decided I really liked these two photos from my trip to Vancouver.
The Skate 4 Cancer tour was in Vancouver the night before so Vanessa and I met up with Rob and some other really good friends and we headed down to the beach to drink wine. We ended the night by sitting around a bonfire listening to our friends Ben and Dave sing the most incredible songs on an acoustic guitar, and then Rob fell asleep. It was such an amazing way to end our trip to Vancouver.
Here is a photo of Ben and Dave starting the fire, and one of us listening to Ben play a song.

4x5 Portrait | Zadi Diaz
A few weeks ago had the pleasure of taking a few shots of Zadi on my 4x5. This is the second time I've used this camera on someone other than people who live with me, and I'm really excited about how these came out.
I'm lucky, and had use of the sound stage at the Disney Interactive lot. The perks of having a husband with an awesome job ;) I went in the night before and Mike and I set up the lights and took a few test shots. I wanted to be all set up so our little shoot wouldn't take up to much time. The camera is a beast as it is, I didn't want people waiting around while I figured out where to put the lights.
Zadi was awesome in front of the camera. Even though she had a hard time hearing me with the giant fan going and my annoyingly quiet voice, it didn't matter, she did her thing and it was perfect :)
I wish I had positioned Zadi a bit different in the full body shot. I think the hot light behind her distracts from her face. I do love the over lapping shadows the lights created, even on her face in the head shot. It just works, somehow.

To provide adequate Signal support, remote radio-access unit and remote-relay teams must survive!
At the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif., mobile-subscriber-equipment Signal companies are challenged with providing reliable MSE support to brigade combat teams. One of the companies� critical tasks is to provide mobile-subscriber radiotelephone terminal coverage for the width and depth of the battlefield. Remote teams must be able to execute plans, coordinate and rehearse their movements on the battlefield to survive and provide adequate Signal support.
Trends at NTC indicate that tactical deployment of remote teams needs more emphasis. Remote teams often deploy without being integrated into the brigade�s maneuver scheme. Teams have minimal situation awareness, and they haven�t conducted critical coordination and rehearsals.
|Remote teams set up their mobile-subscriber equipment at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif.
This article�s goal is to provide leaders and soldiers techniques, tactics and procedures taken from lessons-learned at NTC. Readers should gain insights on how to fight MSE and ensure MSE coverage is provided for the battlefield�s full width and depth throughout every mission.
My focus is troop-leading procedures. I include references to the military decision-making process as it applies to remote team-deployment planning. I use references to brigade units or operations throughout this article, but TTP apply to any tactical mission.
I also focus on remote RAU team deployments, but the tactical steps in TLP apply to remote-relay teams. Successful deployments follow the fundamental TLP I list here. (Bulleted paragraphs are the procedures; non-bulleted paragraphs are my notes and discussion about the situation.)
|Network planners must have the division plan, including operational graphics, and use bottom-up refinement from BCTs on where and when MSRT coverage is required for each phase of the mission.
|Network planners use MDMP to develop an MSRT coverage plan.
|Planners have available tools to analyze current MSRT coverage and plans for coverage. This includes automated terrain-analysis systems (network-planning tool, integrated-system control, Terrabase, etc.)
|Planners develop a planning timeline based on time available that meets the 1/3 planning, 2/3 preparation rule.
|Issue a warning order to the RAU team that contains as much information as possible before any movement.
|Include movement orders, open-/close-link orders and special instructions.
|Technical data for the radio links and a grid coordinate isn�t enough. The warning order must contain enough information for the RAU team to begin precombat checks/precombat inspections and develop a timeline for movement.
|Follow the warning-order format as closely as possible.
|Develop an MSRT coverage plan that supports double RAU coverage in forward areas if possible.
To achieve double RAU coverage, each RAU is located so that the radius of one coverage zone intersects the center (RAU location) of the adjacent coverage zone. After the first RAU is located on the overlay and the coverage circle is drawn, locate adjacent RAUs on the circumference of the first circle and, using the new RAU location as the center, draw the adjacent coverage circle.
|If double RAU coverage isn�t possible due to limited assets, develop a single RAU coverage plan.
Single RAU coverage requires locating RAUs to ensure a 10-percent overlap in coverage by an adjacent RAU. For more information, see Training Manual 11-5800-216-10-2, the system manual for MSE.
|Remote RAU team deployments need to be integrated into the brigade�s maneuver scheme by synchronizing RAU team movements for each phase of the operation.
Too often RAU team movements aren�t coordinated with other units; teams just go directly to the next planned position and become subject to both friendly and enemy fire. By maneuvering with a tactical unit, the RAU team has increased force protection and can move with that combat unit. RAU teams won�t always be able to move with another unit, but even if teams are moving independently, they should have clearly defined triggers for each operation phase and designated routes.
The following figure is taken from an attack mission during an NTC rotation. It shows a remote RAU team that follows the brigade�s tactical command post or tactical-operations center.
|This illustration, taken from an attack mission during an NTC rotation, shows a remote RAU team that follows the brigade's tactical command post or tactical-operations center.
The operation phases are:
A note here: H-hour is the line-of-departure time.
|Develop detailed triggers for each movement.
|Develop alternate courses of action for each operation phase to eliminate single points of failure.
|Analyze enemy-situation templates, including enemy artillery ranges, engagement areas, key enemy avenues of approach and other factors.
|The RAU team may need to begin movement while planning is taking place.
|Conduct any link-up operations if moving with other units.
|The extension-switch supervisor or other platoon leadership should be prepared to deliver the final operations order and graphics overlays if the team deploys before they are complete.
|When a RAU team moves with a unit, the team chief coordinates with that unit to attend any opord briefings and rehearsals.
|Conduct reconnaissance of routes, staging areas and the actual RAU location if the tactical scenario permits. If conducting an attack, request brigade assets to conduct reconnaissance of forward locations.
|Don�t forget about reconnaissance of alternate locations and contingency plans.
|Signal planners should coordinate with the division G-3 to request subordinate combat units for reconnaissance if the risk of contact with the enemy is high.
One of the keys to successful site selection and setup is relying upon the "eyes on the ground" for bottom-up refinement. The team chief who can see the terrain while conducting a dismounted reconnaissance conducts the best reconnaissance. Network planners use digitized maps to select grid coordinates that provide desired MSRT coverage and line-of-sight connectivity, but they�re limited by the data they have available because they�re not on the ground.
When the team chief conducts reconnaissance, he gathers more information, including accessibility, weather conditions, force protection with adjacent units and cover and concealment. The team chief must have knowledge of where MSRT coverage is needed and the direction of the radio link to the node center, as well as enemy situation and friendly situation.
Once the team finds a location, it may or may not match the original grid coordinate. Network planners should be prepared to use this bottom-up refinement to receive changes, reprofile the radio link, analyze RAU MSRT coverage and, finally, approve or disapprove a different grid coordinate.
The following figure depicts what can happen when all the preceding actions don�t happen. The inset picture is taken from the RAU location looking towards the area it�s supposed to cover.
|This illustration depicts gaps in radio coverage that happen when all necessary actions do not happen. The inset photo is taken from the RAU location looking toward the area it's supposed to cover.
|By this time, network planners should have complete information (division and brigade opords, operational graphics, enemy-situation templates, etc.), including all information brigade/battalion S-6s have provided to the division G-6.
|A final course of action is decided on based on any reconnaissance conducted.
|Final coordination is made for the RAU team movement with another unit.
|Coordination is made with all units in sectors the RAU team will be moving through and occupying (fratricide prevention).
|Coordinate combat-service-support operations, including casualty evacuation, supply and maintenance operations.
|The complete opord is issued to the RAU team, either in written form or orally based on mission, enemy, troops and time available.
|The extension supervisor ensures teams receive situation updates as well as receive and understand opords, and supervises execution. Other duties include supervising and executing logistical support to remote teams.
Priority is based on how critical remote teams are to the current mission, and on the support relationships remote teams have with units in their operations area.
|The RAU team chief issues the opord to the team following the five-paragraph format.
|The opord contains detailed triggers for all operation phases, including alternate courses of action, alternate sites, displacement plans, actions on contact.
|The RAU team conducts rehearsals of all movements, link-ups and site defense tasks.
|Integrate the RAU team into all supporting unit rehearsals.
|Conduct final PCIs.
|Ensure the team has complete situation awareness. Updates to friendly and enemy situations may come from the platoon/S-3 section/S-2 section, according to the unit�s standing operating procedures.
|Battle-track throughout the mission to ensure key triggers are executed according to plans and force-protection measures are taken.
|The battalion/brigade S-6s, division G-6 and systems control/battalion control must continuously assess the effectiveness of RAU coverage throughout the missions to ensure MSRT coverage is maintained throughout the operations area.
Once a remote site is established, force protection must be implemented. According to Field Manual 11-43, Signal Leaders Guide, "Remote RAU teams deploy alone; consequently, the team must be well briefed on both the friendly maneuver and the enemy situation. RAU teams must understand routes, rally points, casualty evacuation procedures, decontamination data and early-warning (air) procedures. The team chief must maximize use of terrain, vegetation or buildings for concealment and must maintain constant security. RAU teams require constant threat updates and must be quickly moved if necessary. Movement should be planned in detail to prevent fratricide. These same considerations apply to an LOS Version 3 radio when being used as a relay."
The opord should have specific triggers for displacement operations. For example, if the enemy has penetrated past a certain phase line, that�s the trigger for the RAU to pack its equipment and prepare for displacement. A closer phase triggers the actual movement, and further criteria would include a trigger for the team to destroy equipment in place and evacuate personnel.
Refer to the example of specific triggers during a defense-in-sector mission that could be included in Paragraph 5 of an opord.
Offensive operations might require the RAU team to jump to more than one location and displace during the mission based on battlefield triggers. Another key to success, as I�ve mentioned, is using terrain to "hide with pride." In the following figures, the left one demonstrates how a RAU team can effectively use terrain to provide concealment, while the one on the right shows a team not using terrain well and so exposing itself to enemy observation.
|Left, how a RAU team can effectively use terrain to provide concealment. Right, a team that's not using terrain well and is exposing itself to enemy observation.
Fighting MSE with remote teams is a challenge that is met by detailed planning and by following TLPs. Ensuring all TLPs are accomplished ensures team success. Network planners must integrate remote-team deployments into the brigade�s maneuver scheme. Planners must use MDMP and plan courses of action that not only provide adequate MSRT coverage but also include force protection.
Accurate reconnaissance and site selection by team chiefs on the ground are key to achieving the commander�s intent. Force protection of Signal sites will ensure survival of remote teams so they can provide reliable communications to the warfighter.
By applying the TTP I outline here and by conducting realistic training, remote teams will better prepare themselves to fight MSE throughout the full width and depth of the battlefield.

Something Greg Schiano said yesterday about the Bucs using Josh Freeman's athletic ability was extremely ironic.
Something Greg Schiano said yesterday about the Bucs using Josh Freeman's athletic ability was extremely ironic.
Early last season, myself and others talked repeatedly about the notion that Freeman seemed restricted staying in the pocket, per coaches' instructions. I wrote the following in a story in September: "(Freeman) had one of the poorest games of his career in Dallas, going 10-of-28. But the Bucs might consider playing more to his strengths, including throwing on the run. 'I think there's definitely merit to having him on the perimeter and changing the launch point,' offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan said." Fast forward to Wednesday, when Schiano reflected on Freeman's season, and pay particular attention to this quote: "As the year went on, it became very clear to us that he's an incredibly accurate passer on the run, so we started moving the pocket more, and I thought he was very effective with that." By then the Bucs were off to a 1-3 start with their offense sputtering. A reasonable conclusion: that the Bucs will tailor their offense and playcalling more to Freeman's strengths from the start this year, rather than doing so on the fly. That can only help as Freeman embarks on his most important season in 2013. The stories referenced are here: http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/tampa-bay-buccaneers-quarterback-josh-freeman-coordinator-mike-sullivan/1253790 http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/bucs-schiano-not-necessarily-wedded-to-qb-freeman-beyond-2013/2110207

TEAMS: Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints
A person familiar with the situation says the Chicago Bears have hired New Orleans Saints offensive line coach Aaron Kromer as their offensive coordinator. The person spoke Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced. Kromer will work under new coach Marc Trestman, who was hired to replace the fired Lovie Smith on Wednesday. The Bears are trying to get more out of quarterback Jay Cutler and become regular playoff participants after missing the postseason for the fifth time in six years. Kromer served as the Saints' head coach for six games this season while interim head coach Joe Vitt was suspended for his role in the bounty scandal. Saints coach Sean Payton had to sit out the year.

MCH Group, a Swiss-listed trade fair and exhibition services company, published strong financial results last week. The company, which was included in Skate's Art Stocks Index because it owns and operates Art Basel fairs, reported six month revenues totaling 242.1 million Swiss Francs. This represents a more than 20% increase over the same period in 2009 and the successful rebound of MCH Group's top line to exceed pre-crisis 2007 numbers.
The only visible damage caused by the economic downturn came in the form of reduced profitability and a less favorable product mix. Based on the first half of 2010, the group's net profit margin stands at 16% (19% in the same period of 2007, but a strong recovery from 8% in 2009), and the EBITDA margin is 28% (versus 33% in 2007 and 23% in 2009). The group's attempts to diversify away from exhibition business took the opposite direction – in 2007 the MCH Exhibitions segment contributed 69% of Group revenue; in 2010 this contribution grew to 76%. The MCH Infrastructure segment no longer registers as material for the group: its revenue share of MCH's top line went from 8% to 4% between 2007 and 2010.
Nevertheless, MCH Group performance so far this year was sufficiently exciting to please capital markets – the company's stock is among the best-performing constituents of the Skate's Art Stocks Index, scoring 18% year-to-date capital gains and strongly outperforming the S&P 500.

FRIDAY, Nov. 12 (HealthDay News) -- A growing number of
Americans know about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),
but too many remain unaware of the deadly lung disease, a new
survey has found.
According to the results, 69 percent of 4,184 respondents to a
mailed survey knew about COPD, a 4 percent increase from 2008.
Awareness increased among nonsmokers, smokers and former
The survey results were released this week by the U.S. National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which has launched a new public
education campaign called Learn More Breathe Better. The campaign
highlights common COPD signs and symptoms such as shortness of
breath, chronic cough, wheezing and excessive phlegm
"COPD kills more than 120,000 adults each year. That's one death every four minutes -- more than breast cancer and diabetes combined. Yet people go undiagnosed and untreated because they don't recognize the symptoms," James P. Kiley, director of the NHLBI's Division of Lung Diseases, said in an agency news release.
Many people with COPD symptoms mistakenly believe they're just
caused by being out of shape or getting older, so they don't bother
to visit a doctor.
"For those who may be experiencing a recurrent cough or shortness of breath, particularly those who may have a history of smoking, awareness of the symptoms is not enough. They need to have their lungs tested," Kiley said.
"There is no cure for COPD -- but the good news is that we have come a long way in terms of improving how a person with COPD lives, and it only takes a few minutes in the doctor's office to get tested," he added.
COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.
More than 12 million Americans are currently diagnosed with COPD
and another 12 million may have the disease but not know it.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our children have been attending GCS for two years now. We have been so disappointed in just about everything. The religious non-sense that has nothing to do with real life. The bullying that goes on is horrible. The dress code, that again, is not real life. We came here hoping our children would receive a good education while also, building a strong biblical foundation. It has been a bunch of religious rules. People caught up in ideas that have nothing to do with having a relationship with Christ, let alone a solid education. They actually try to tell you what you are and are not allowed to listen to in your own vehicle while on school grounds. My oldest daughter was pulled out of class so many times for not dressing to code. Absurd things, like too much of her shoulder was showing, or too much of her back was exposed through the crocheted design on the back of her shirt. This is NOT Christian education. This is a sad and twisted representation of who Jesus is. Where is the joy and love of Christ? Sadly, I could not recommend this school to anyone. John the Baptist wouldn't have passed their religious rules and regulations and would have been turned away.
My son is a new student this year. I cannot say enough wonder things about the staff and administration at this school. The homework and classes are very intense and there are high expectations of all students in their learning and walk of faith. If a solid Christ centered education is what you are looking for, I highly recommend Genesee Christian.
Genesee Christian was a terrible experience, far from pleasant . I came to the US with my family from Mexico and attended 2nd grade through 7th. I experienced many humiliations while attending this school. I was different from everyone, and NO ONE in the school system reached out to make me feel comfortable. I was shy and reserved compared to the other kids. It seemed everyone was stuck in this weird persona of being outgoing, into sports, and "perfect". or else you were an outcast. No one knew how to deal with different personalities, absolutely no cultural competence. It literally felt like being trapped in a box full of clones.Thank God my parent's pulled me out after I had literally no friends or faculty I could rely on and fully developed social anxiety. I began attending Grand Blanc public schools and was exposed to different personalities, thoughts, experiences, and beliefs that helped me compare myself and find who I am. I made friends and had people I could relate to that helped me cope with my anxiety, I was accepted for being me. The public school system prepared me far better for the real world than this school.
We've had our son enrolled for the past two years and have loved the school!
I am trying to remember the name of my first grade teacher I had. My friends and I were talking about stories from elementary and I could not remember the name of my first grade teacher. I graduated in '09, so I guess I was in first grade during 1998. Can someone please help me?! Thank you so much in advance, this is really bothering me that I cannot remember.
My son has attended GCS for three years (since Kindergarten) and will be returning next year. The academic programs here are outstanding, and the teaching staff is very engaged. As a result, my son is farther ahead than his public school counterparts. I am thrilled that we chose this school, which has been instrumental in helping me develop a child who is bright, inquisitive, and compassionate. It was important to me to have my child attend a christian school to support the morals and integrity we try to instill in him, and to have like-minded people (both other families and the staff) to support those efforts.
My son started this year as a Junior. He is very happy and so are we. Great education staff and friendships.
I attended GCS K-12th grade. I truly enjoyed my school years. I was more than prepared for college. I was able to test out of several classes and was even given an athletic scholarship. I truly believe I am a better person for attending this school.
We have three children attending GCS. I can only speak for the elementary, as that is where our children are in attendance, but I must say, every teacher we have had so far is superior. They are selfless in their giving to our children. It is most definately a ministry and that is evident as they are constantly in service to their students. The new administrator is wonderful and I believe he will take the school leaps and bounds above where it has been in the past. I am grateful to have my children there.
I have 3 children in GCS and i am extremely happy with this institution. There has been a change in leadership which needed to take place. The new administrator/principal is an outstanding leader, communicator and educator. This is a Christrian school. They have a high biblical and moral standard which is why I chose to pay for schooling and not use public schools. The education is certainly advanced over most public schools and they have excellent extra curricular programs. I highly recommend this school to those who are looking for a Christian school environment for their children.
I attended GCS from sixth grade until graduation. GCS is a fine institution and definitely prepares students for life after high school as well as, and in most instances better than, public school systems. I was very well prepared for college after my time at GCS. In fact, I did well enough on my standardized exams that I was offered more than a dozen complete four year academic scholarships to major state universities. The teaching staff is excellent and the school leadership is of extraordinary character. This school is a superb environment for children of all ages, and I highly recommend it. I have no regrets at all about my education at GCS.
We have an amazing sports programs. Our academics are very good compared to what the others say. I love this school.
I have attended Genesee Christian since kindergarten. I am involved with varsity basketball, volleyball, and soccer. I am on student council, honor society, and have been in almost every play at GCS. At the end of every year all students going into 9-12 grade are given a sheet regarding what classes that they want to take the next year. This list includes 5 advanced placement classes which are history, literature, biology, calculus, and psychology. Students are also allowed to go to Skill Center to take classes throughout the year. Every year students take a school issued Standard Achievement Test to see what teachers need to work on for the rest of the year. The school also provides tests like, PLAN, PSAT, and information for the SAT/ACT.
This school provides superb education, and good opportunities in sports, especially for a small school. The teachers are, for the most part, friendly and caring, but there are certain exceptions who seem to make a point of being judgmental and harsh. While a certain amount of discipline is biblical, some of what is going on at GCS is going to far, it will turn kids into bitter adults, it already has. While some of the rules are strict beyond belief, many of the teachers allow a more sensible atmosphere in the classroom. If it weren't for some of the great teachers, I would not recommend this school. Make sure you don't raise your kids inside a holy huddle, they will hit the ground hard when they go into the real world.
We have loved Genesee Christian school for our children. The teachers go above and beyond in caring for students and generally, classroom environements are very challenging. If you want a safe, personal environment that integrates Christian principles into all areas, this may be the school for you. Sure, the public school does have more to offer if you care about quantity of extracurricular options, a way to attain an 'easy A', or prefer a more lenient environment with less rules. But here the students are typically accepting and kind, classroom size is small, and teachers have a lot of interaction with the kids. The one weakness is the administration, but teachers are usually very receptive to our concerns. For a small school, there are many opportunities such as drama, journalism, student council, honor society, a variety of sports, as well as opportunities for outreach and service.
I am a parent at this school and we think this school is an excellent choice for education. We moved to be closer to the school. It is worth the financial cost! There are some very good teachers and a good environment for learning. Most of the sports teams do very well. The elementary school is starting a band. There is many opportunities for parental involvement.
This school doesnt have what it takes to prepare you for the real world. The school cant even offer you a selection of courses but just hands you your schedule for the year. That is not true that the education at Genesee Christian is better than a public school after I pulled my student out of there they thrived at the public school. Public schools offer so much more in the academic field with all the teachers being state certified and the access to computer technology. Also the opportunities in extracurricular activities at a public school are very numerous. So, I would have to not recommend this school to any one and recommend putting your child into a public school.
My child has attended this school for the past three years. Although their rule system is archaic, as the other reviews suggest, it has been worth putting up with them to know that my child is getting an excellent education. The present administration is totalitarian in their decision making, but the teachers are wonderful, and compared to the education the kids are receiving in any of the public school systems in the area, the children will be well prepared for the future. However, the one reviewer that implies that the school does not prepare these children for the MEAP or higher education is dead wrong. I am a graduate of this school myself. I received one of the highest possible scores on my ACT, passed the MEAP with no problems, and received a full-ride scholraship to the UM Ann Arbor Campus and am now a biochemist for the state.
I believe that Genesee Christian School is one of the worst private schools in the state of Michigan. I pulled my child out of this school for several different reasons. One reason is how terrible parent involvement with the school board was, they never let any one go to a school board meeting and voice ones opinion on school related issues. I also felt that the schools administrator would hide behind other people when he would make a decision or a rule change (which this frequently happened). Another issue is with the lack of a good education for my child, lack of preparation for the state MEAP test, and also the lack of several tools needed to make it in a college or university. I could not or will not recommend this school to any one.
I have been mostly dissatisfied with Genesee Christian, however because of the lack of better alternative schools, I am keeping my children here. The administration and board members seriously lack in communication skills. Parents and teachers are not informed of who board members are or where and when they meet. In fact, parents are not allowed at board meetings. My main dissatisfaction lies in the fact that they are extremely narrow-minded and seek absolutely no parental input.

Julie has been busy presenting her research findings at conferences in Canberra and Spain, and she is currently based in Vancouver where she has begun her Canadian fieldwork component. She has also just had a book chapter on trafficking and gender published.
Julie organised a panel titled "Korean sex workers in Australia" for the 8th biennial Korean Studies Association of Australasia conference in Canberra, 27-28 June 2013. Julie presented her paper "Reconciling sex workers rights within immigrant narratives". Jules Kim from the Scarlet Alliance Australian Sex Workers Association presented "Peer-based research with Korean sex workers in Australia".
In July, she presented "Justifying gender violence: Demand-based approaches in anti-trafficking" at theInternational Congress on Gender Violence: Intersectionalities, 10-12 July 2013, organised by the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law, in Spain. Julie's presentation drew on her reports for our NGO partner, GAATW, "Beyond borders: Exploring links between trafficking and gender" and "Moving beyond 'supply and demand' catchphrases".
Julie's book chapter on trafficking and gender is presented in the "Handbook of research on gender and economic life", edited by Deborah M Figart and Tonia L Warnecke and published by Edward Elgar.

i am long overdue in writing this post about my favorite brooklyn plant resource, the gowanus nursery. i have been a client at this nursery for quite a few years, following them to their new location on van brunt street. their opening each spring puts me in such a great mood as it marks the start of the outdoor season. the plant selection is extraordinary - black pansies anyone? - and i am always bound to find things that i've never seen before. given that i have a black thumb and a challenging outdoor space, that's a very good thing.

the design library
ever wonder where marc jacobs, miucca prada, or the creative team for old navy go when they need a jolt of inspiration? they go to the design library, one of the best kept secrets in the creative world. the design library is located in wappingers falls and, while it may sound like you need to take the hogwarts express to get there, it's really only an hour and a half from the city on metro north, in the gorgeous hudson valley. what will you find there: the world's largest and best organized collections of documentary fabrics, original artwork, wallpapers, embroideries, yarn dyes, numbering over 7 million designs (!). the collections date from the 1750s to the late 20th century and are sorted into 900 categories. the design library regularly acquires entire archives from designers and fabric houses, ensuring these invaluable collections stay together and are available for perusal. because that is the business of the library: the sale and licensing of antique, vintage, modern and contemporary textile designs for inspiration to the fashion, home furnishings, textile, wall covering, graphic arts, and paper product industries. in a nutshell, this place is textile heaven, nirvana for the fabric-obsessed and awe-inspiring.

shoe clips made with t-shirt yarn
dainty and ladylike, shoe clips are a fun but somewhat old-fashioned accessory that needs to be taken our of the bridal realm, and back to the forefront of fashion. the shoe clips below are a witty take on preppy tasseled loafers.
1. per clip: cut four 6" long pieces of t-shirt yarn.
2. fold this bundle of yarns over and tie together with another piece of t-shirt yarn, using a double knot. cut off the ends.
3. thread a hex nut onto each tassel end and make a knot underneath.
4. hand sew the shoe clip to the back of each tassel. done!
after making the tassels, I decided to try my hand at t-shirt yarn bows: cut twelve 3" long pieces of yarn and tie this bundle in the center together with a 10" length of T-shirt yarn, then wrap it over six times, and finally tuck under the end. hand sew the shoe clip to the back of the bow.

i attended the opening night of the collective design fair last night, at moynihan station in manhattan. twice as large as last year's edition, the show features an exceptionally curated group of galleries and dealers, all with an extremely unique point of view on design innovation. highlights include the new designs by india mahdavi and the quirky scandinavian antiques showcased at dienst + dotter. but in the end, what really caught my eye were the amazing jewelry designs, such as the deer antler collars by jennifer trask, and the insect necklaces by marta mattson. unbelievably gorgeous! the show is open through may 11, don't miss it...

t-shirt hats - the easiest diy!
t-shirts are probably among the most widespread item in our closet today: we buy them on vacation, we get them free as promotional swag, we end up with siblings' cast-offs. there are expensive designer shirts, work-out and sports shirts, shirts proclaiming anything from your political affiliations to your chosen brand of cat food (i had one of those). the pile can easily grow out of control. here's a fun project for the shirts you're ready to part with. step-by-step instructions are below the image.
tassel hat:
1. turn t-shirt inside out, iron and place flat on work surface.
2. cut in a straight line from armpit to armpit, so that you are left with a tubular piece of fabric. the height of your tube should be 17" high; if it is longer, cut tube down to a 17" height (so basically, any t-shirt that measure 17" or more from hem to armpit will work for this project).
3. measure 8" across from the left side seam and draw a vertical line with pencil or tailor's chalk. pin both layers of t-shirt together and cut vertically to the right of this line, leaving about a half inch seam allowance.
4. machine stitch on this line, so that you now have a tube that is 17" high and 16" diameter.
5. from the rest of the T-shirt, cut a strip that is 8" long and a quarter inch wide.
6. turn tube good side out, gather and double-knot firmly together with this strip at 10" height.
7. cut the rest of the tube that sticks out above the knot into quarter inch vertical strips.
cat hat:
1. turn t-shirt inside out, iron and place flat on work surface.
2. cut in a straight line from armpit to arm pit, so that you are left with a tubular piece of fabric. the height of your tube should be 17" high, if it is longer, cut tube down to a 17" height (so basically, any t-shirt that measure 17" or more from hem to armpit will work for this project).
3. measure 16" across from left side seam and draw a vertical line with pencil or tailor's chalk. pin both layers of t-shirt together and cut vertically to the right of this line, leaving about a half inch seam allowance.
4. machine stitch on this line, so that you now have a tube that is 17" high and 32" diameter.
5. fold over your inside-out tube vertically, and make a mark on the fabric fold at 8.5" high. from there, using pencil or tailor's chalk, draw a curved convex line to the top corner. flip over and repeat the process on the other side.
6. unfold and cut to the right of this curved u-shaped line (though both layers), leaving about a half inch seam allowance.
7. machine stitch on this line and cut off seam allowance diagonally at both ears, making sure not to cut into the stitching.
8. turn hat good side out.
9. fold over existing bottom hem by one inch to the inside of the hat. pin in place and machine stitch, leaving a 2" opening.
10. cut an 18" long piece of flat elastic, attach a safety pin to one end, and use that to feed it through the opening. make sure to hold onto the other end of the elastic. once elastic has been fed all the way through, machine stitch both ends of elastic together and hand sew 2" opening shut.
11. last step: make a single knot in each "ear". done!

tulum mexico
over spring break, we took an amazing trip to tulum in the yucatan region of mexico. it was amazing! we visited the mayan ruins in tulum and chichen itza and toured the sia ka'an biosphere reserve. we swam in cenotes; sinkholes resulting from the collapse of the limestone bedrock that exposes the groundwater underneath. we even explored an underground - and underwater - cave. the town of tulum itself is quaint and picturesque. i am working up various reasons for returning asap.

march - housewares store in san francisco
last month i visited the march housewares store on sacramento street in san francisco. i'm not much of a cook, so housewares are usually not on top of my shopping list, but this store is amazing. it's artfully merchandized, and meticulously curated. from the green splatterware to the handwoven bungee rugs, from the braided denim bags to the delicate porcelain spoons, there is so much to covet, yet the store did not overwhelm. my favorite picks were the vincent van duysen canisters in a cool new blue color palette (sadly i forgot to take a picture) and the art by carrie mae smith, which brought a smile to my face. a must-visit!

Phentermine reviews
A tiny bit about dosing and organization of the item called phentermine.
Generally, it is inferred by the U.s. Support and Drug Administration (FDA) that phentermine should be used just for short-term (ordinarily deciphered as 'up to 12 weeks'), while copying nonpharmacological procedures to weight diminishment, for instance strong expending less calories and practice.
In 1959, phentermine at first acknowledged underwriting from the FDA as a yearning covering pill. Phentermine hydrochloride then got approachable in the early 1970s. It was around then sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for Smithkline Beecham, however in 1998, it was cleared from the business. Medeva Pharmaceuticals offers the name characteristic of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals offers it as Adipex-P. Phentermine is in like manner at present sold as an insipid. Since the pill was approval, practically no clinical studies have been performed.
Phentermine was promoted with fenfluramine as a mixing yearning suppressant and fat seething specialist under the well known name Fen-Phen. In 1997, after 24 occasions of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen customers, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the business area at the requesting of the Fda. Studies later showed just about 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had strange revelations.
Phentermine is still open without any other person introduce in usually countries, joining the US. In any case, in light of the way that it is similar to amphetamines, it is masterminded as a controlled substance in various countries. All around, phentermine is a logbook IV tranquilize under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. In the United States, it is bunched as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Interestingly, amphetamine courses of action are amassed as Schedule II directed substances.
Phentermine appears to be inspected in amalgamation with diverse medicates for heaviness. The fundamental such merging is the aching suppressant phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia once in the past Qnexa). In 2012, the FDA supported its arrangement in the United States.

The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board recommends that men should consume approximately 38 grams of dietary fiber each day and that women should have 25 grams. However, the average American adult only consumes about 15 grams of fiber daily, reports registered dietitian Sharon Palmer in "Today's Dietitian." Palmer advises that the best way for you to reach your required intake of fiber is to center your diet on whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits, including pomegranates, which are an excellent source of fiber.
Total Dietary Fiber
A 1-cup serving of pomegranate seeds -- also known as arils -- contains 7 grams of total dietary fiber. This amount fulfills 18 percent of the recommended daily allowance of fiber for a man and 28 percent of the RDA for a woman. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for labeling the nutrient content of foods, pomegranates are a superior source of fiber for women since they provide at least 20 percent of the RDA in one serving. A diet rich in fiber may help prevent obesity, stroke and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Soluble Fiber
A portion of the total fiber contained in pomegranates is soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is made up of the mucilage, gum and pectin compounds located on the inside of plant cells. In the digestive tract, soluble fiber absorbs water and creates a thick, viscous mass that slows the rate at which food is broken down and absorbed. The ability of soluble fiber to slow digestion may be why a diet that regularly includes high soluble fiber intake is linked to a decreased risk of high blood cholesterol and diabetes, says the Cleveland Clinic.
Insoluble Fiber
Pomegranates are also a good source of insoluble fiber, the type of fiber that consists of the lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose in the rigid walls of plant cells. Insoluble fiber is richest in the peels or edible seeds of fruits like pomegranate arils. Unlike soluble fiber, insoluble fiber does not form a jelly-like mass in the digestive system. Instead, it adds bulk to stool as it moves through the intestines and can help regulate bowel movements. Eating plenty of insoluble fiber may also decrease your risk of digestive disorders like hemorrhoids, diverticular disease or colon cancer.
If you're trying to increase your dietary fiber intake by including pomegranates and other fiber-rich foods in your diet, be careful not to add in too much fiber, too soon. Rapidly switching from low-fiber to high-fiber eating habits can cause abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea and flatulence. You can lessen these side effects by slowly increasing your consumption of fiber over a period of several weeks and by drinking at least 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. Talk to your doctor if digestive symptoms continue.

Oakland Raiders' quarterback Terrelle Pryor grew up in Jeanette, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
According to a report from the San Jose Mercury News, via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Pryor turned down an opportunity to be selected by his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin in the 2011 NFL supplemental draft.
"(Tomlin) said, 'Hey, I'll draft you if you want to play here,'" Pryor said. "But he gave me a story about when he was down in Tampa Bay, about a quarterback (Shaun King) that was there, and he ended up being in the same hometown. It was just hard for him; he ended up cutting out because of all the distractions.
"I had to say no because, at a young age, I didn't want to be near home and have distractions around me."
It sounds like it was an amicable decision, brought forth by some good advice by coach Tomlin. Pittsburgh has long-time starter Ben Roethlisberger as well, so it may have been difficult for Pryor to break into the lineup anytime soon.
Pryor starred in high school in his home state, but ended up leaving to Ohio State. He was drafted by the Raiders in the third round of the 2011 draft.
Pittsburgh travels to Oakland to take on Pryor and the Raiders this Sunday.

ManSpeak Translator
Momlogic's Jayne: Let's face it ladies ... men and women just don't speak the same language. Time and time again I have been angered, annoyed and bewildered by something my husband has said to me. That is until recently when I FINALLY realized that my sweet husband wasn't really saying what I thought he was saying - he was using "ManSpeak" - a completely different language that only men use.
Luckily for all of you, after years of misunderstandings, I have managed to decipher ManSpeak and I am willing to share my discoveries. So fret no more, below are some of the most common instances of ManSpeak and their translations.
ManSpeak: "Honey, is there anything to eat?" or the infamous "Are YOU hungry?"
Translation: "Honey, I am sitting here doing nothing but can you please stop everything that you're doing and go into the kitchen right now and use some of that 'woman magic that only women have to turn the $300 worth of food you bought for me this weekend into something I can eat? I know I'm a grown man, but I am too lazy and too unwilling to figure out how to put two pieces of bread and turkey together to make a sandwich."
ManSpeak: "Honey, have you seen my (fill in the blank)?"
Translation: "I am no longer even bothering to remember where I put things, because I can't do more than one thing at a time and let's face it, I'm breathing so isn't that enough for me to be doing? Besides, you're so much better at that kind of stuff and half the time I can't find things because YOU moved them so you should help me find them."
ManSpeak: "I'll get to it."
Translation: "Woman, will you please get off my back? You should know by now that there is no way in hell that I am going to do that unless it gets to such a critical point that you threaten to hire someone to do it. Then, and only then, because I am so cheap I will actually get off my ass and do it. Oh, don't forget, if I do actually do it, I will not let you (or anyone else for that matter) forget how much I do around the house."
ManSpeak: "Sure I'll pick that up on the way home from work."
Translation: "Don't tell me that you fell for that line again. There is no way that I am going to pick that up. Even though I might actually remember what you asked me to do, I'm going to pretend I forgot about it because I too lazy to pull my car over and in the end I know you will do it, so why should I bother myself."
ManSpeak: "What are YOU doing today?"
Translation: "I am watching football/playing golf/hanging out with the guys (doing absolutely nothing useful) from 9 AM to 9 PM so you better find something to amuse yourself. And by the way if, before you leave, you could make a 'snack' for me and my buddies (who I know you can't stand) that would be great."
ManSpeak: While you're both lying in bed, man says, "Are you getting up to go to the kitchen."
Translation: "I know that we're both comfortable lying here in bed, and you don't really look like you're getting up to go to the kitchen but I'm really thirsty (and lazy) and I don't want to get my feet cold on the floor - so will you please get up and get me a drink."
ManSpeak: "Honey, come and cuddle with me."
Translation: "I want to f***. Please come here and let me grope you a bit before I roll on top of you and then it's over in 10 seconds."
Well ladies, there you have some examples of the most commonly used ManSpeak terms. Now that you know what your man is REALLY saying you can respond with the appropriate answer. Here are some of my favorite ManSpeak responses and their translations.
Woman's response to ManSpeak: "Sure hon."
Translation: "F*** off and do it yourself"
Woman's response to ManSpeak: "I'll get right on it."
Translation: "Hell will freeze over before I do that"
Woman's response to ManSpeak: "No problem honey!"
Translation: "Jesus Christ, you can't really be as dumb as you seem, can you?"
Now go forth and conquer!
Sorry, but this tired and shallow type of humor isn't even funny anymore.
I'm surprised that toilet sets and asking for directions didn't make the article.
i'm sorry anonymous, i happened to think it was pretty funny! my husband is awesome, but is guilty of a couple of these! i too am suprised that the toilet seat and directions topics didn't make the list either. but thanks jayne for the laugh :)
This is really funny hehe. Thanks!
I agree with anonymous.
agree with anonymous. Strawdoll stereotype humour does not need to be added to stumble
Regardless of what the names say, I'm willing to bet money that the ones who like this are female, and the ones who don't care for it much are male. Same thing happens in articles that poke fun at women…
Well you're right about if we ask "Is there anything to eat around here?" in that we want you to make us a sandwich. But not because we're lazy. Because it's your job.
Well i guess these would be true if you lived in a loveless marriage where both people where too scared to move on with their life in fear of being alone.
