Writing off the word "bisexual" as exclusionary means cutting ties with bisexuals who were romantically and sexually involved with people of more than two genders decades before we were even born, and whom were forced to struggle and fight for recognition, only to now be othered as oppressors who aren't "queer enough" for young gays, lesbians, and pansexuals.
Part of a Very Long History of hetero (& homo) normative cisgender monosexuals ignoring anything actual bisexual people had to say for and about themselves, inventing amazingly screwy definitions and creating new terms (i.e. ambisexual in 1912, omnisexual in 1959, pansexual in 1917, etc., etc., etc.) that they then imposed on bisexual people no matter what we said.
The question is, do they think that by slicing, dicing and redefining us, bisexuals will actually go away forever?
Or are we just supposed to get confused & discouraged and go away long enough for them to use our statistics and numbers while they scoop up all the grant funding, jobs, tenured teaching positions, groups and programs and other goodies?

So, let's say you want to ship two dudes together because 'omg they have so much unresolved sexual tension' or 'did you see the way they looked at each other in that scene' or 'they are two dudes that i find hot that exist nominally in the same universe.'
But one or both of them has shown some interest in a female character! Canonically!
Now, I know what you are thinking, about how they are probably just in denial or how canon only does that because they aren't allowed to show the true gay selves of these characters.
BUT. I have a product that is about to blow your mind. It will allow you to respect the characters actions and attraction in canon, not relegate female love interests to a characters misplaced sexual delusions, AND allow you to write hot, hot man love.
I call it BISEXUALITY. Similar products such as pansexuality, polysexuality, and 'not a perfect 0 or 6 on the Kinsey Scale' (among others) will have similar effects on your fanfiction.
This fantastic product has somehow remained hidden from the fanfiction community for years, but I am here to spread the word.
Available for 3 payments of not being a biphobic and/or misogynistic butthead, this amazing writing tool can be yours to use and share as many times as you like.

I said, "What if they say they're gay?" He was gay, by the way.
He said, "Oh, in that case, we just talk about whatever they came to me for." Amy Andre in "Nothing About Us Without Us" from her speech on problems of Physical Health in the Bisexual Community, at a bisexual roundtable on 23 September 2013 in Washington DC USA
[HuffPo Gay Voices]: Nothing About Us Without Us
said Amy Andre —One thing I said during the meeting was, "Nothing about us without us." This was in reference to the fact that, the week prior, the White House had convened a meeting of 200 LGBT leaders for a health summit related to the Affordable Care Act.
With bisexuals having the poorest health among the sexual orientation groups, and with us making up half of the LGB population, I was shocked to find out that not a single bisexual organization was represented, and, to my knowledge, not a single bisexual person was invited.
"Gay" or "Lesbian" labels are definitions that rely on a gender binary, but bi youth are the ones being targeted for being transphobic.
When I ask someone why they don't call themselves bisexual, it's rarely because of their own internal preferences. We're being forced to identify as something else, ostensibly because our orientation is "offensive" to our oldest allies. The trans and bi women who rioted at Stonewall and were the "Mothers" of Pride", must scream in their graves at the notion we B and T be used against each other." Faith Cheltenham, President of BiNet USA (After Ellen - Pop Theory: On Bisexuality)

I'm From Seattle, WA
1.) I am a woman. 2.) I am married to a man. 3.) I work to defend queer youth rights and fight victimization. 4.) I am queer. 5.) I am bisexual. Most people hear the first two and assume that I am straight. They hear the third and wonder why a straight woman is working for the queer community. They hear the fourth and are confused. And when they hear the fifth, it all comes together in an eye roll. Bi-ignorance and bi-phobia are issues that I deal with every day of my life.
When I say that I am a woman, I mean female biologically and in my gender expression. On the continuum of gender expression, I mostly reside on the feminine side. I like to wear dresses with high heals, make-up and jewelry, carry a purse, shop at Victoria's Secret, and get my nails done. There are of course the days that I am in men's basketball shorts and wear my hair up to where it is shaved on the underside, but most people take one look at me and think that I am very feminine. When I first began working with queer youth, one of the questions I was asked was, "You don't identify do you?" These kinds of assumptions followed me all the way to a date with a woman who actually asked me on the date if I were gay. I grew so tired of this that I decided I would change my appearance so that people could take one look at me and know that I was queer. I cut and buzzed my hair. I then had my nails taken off and I stopped wearing the dresses and carrying a purse. I completely altered how I looked, and it worked. I could walk into a room of queer people and no longer felt like an imposter. I was no longer asked questions of why I chose the line of work that I did. I felt completely accepted into the gay community. Only one problem, I hated to look in the mirror. I was feeling forced to express my gender in a way that was contrary to who I was, just to feel accepted. But even all that change to my gender expression was still not enough.
I could only get so far in the queer community based on my altered gender expression because it would all change the moment I said that I was bisexual. Once those words escaped by mouth, the bi-phobia from within the community would emerge. I had women not want to date me because I was tainted having been with a man. I was told that bisexuality did not exist; you were either one way or another. I stopped identifying as bisexual and started calling myself queer. I avoided ever talking about an ex-boyfriend and stopped seeing a lot of my straight friends. I felt like some sort of mutt, trying to hide my straight side and displaying only my gay pedigree. I couldn't escape the bi-phobia. I would try to watch the L Word, hoping to see a bisexual character that I could identify with, but instead would watch her being asked to "make up her mind." Several seasons later, she started identifying as a lesbian. I gave up the losing battle against other's bi-phobia and realized the only thing left to do was fully embrace within myself being bisexual.
Embracing who I was felt good, and I started to date a wonderful woman who was supportive of my identity and encouraged me to put back on the dresses and high heals. I began to call myself bisexual again, this time with pride. I stopped thinking of myself in terms of my gay side and my straight side and realized that I was letting other's perceptions cause me to divide myself. I came to realize that I wasn't one-half gay, one-half straight, that I was all bisexual.
That relationship came to an end and the next person that I met was a man. Falling in love with and being in a serious relationship with a man brought back all of my insecurities. How could I bring him now into my queer world? He was fully accepting and wanted to go with me to my usual places, but I felt ashamed. I imagined eyes glaring at me, questioning me. It only got worse when he asked me to marry him.
Marriage was a hard decision for me. On one hand, it was a "no-brainer," he was and is the love of my life. On the other hand, I felt like a hypocrite marrying when if by chance I had fallen in love with a woman, then marriage would not have even been an option. It was a long process to come to a place where I felt comfortable accepting the proposal. I discussed this at length with my queer family and friends. They told me that denying myself marriage, although a noble gesture, really did them no good. In fact, they said that they would rather see me happy and were glad that I had this opportunity. The general consensus was, why have one more suffering queer person out there if they don't have to be? One optimistic friend told me that her time would be coming soon. A lesbian friend performed the marriage ceremony, and I felt as though I had the queer community's blessing. All of my family and friends, both straight and gay, were there to help me celebrate.
Being married only added to my feelings of queer invisibility. When I talk about my husband, everyone assumes that I am straight. Add that to my feminine gender expression, and there is no doubt in anyone's mind. I actually had a queer coworker complain to me that she was the only queer person at our work. I find myself wanting to scream out in meetings or in circles of new friends, "I'm queer!" It is funny because one of the criticisms I have heard of bisexuals is how easy we can blend into heterosexual society. If only those who made such statements knew how desperate I am to not fit in, to be noticed and recognized for who I am.
And who I am is bisexual. When I was with girlfriends, I was bisexual. Currently married to my husband, I am still bisexual. From my morning shower to brushing my teeth at bedtime, I am bisexual. It was never a phase, never a thing I did in college, never something for fun. It isn't an identity that I tried on like a party hat. It was and is who I am. I don't need to make up my mind. My mind, heart, body, and soul have been made up for a long time. I am bisexual.
I recently said to a young girl who proudly exclaimed that she is bisexual to be prepared, that it is a hard road. I hope that when she reaches my age, the bi-ignorance and bi-phobia will have dissipated. In the meantime, I will strive to educate all those whom I come in contact with that a person can be 1.) A woman. 2.) Married to a man. 3.) Work to defend queer youth rights and fight victimization. 4.) Queer. 5.) Bisexual.
Gaelick: On being a bisexual with a boyfriend
Ms. Gay Limerick is bisexual and has been blogging about it in the Irish lesbian blog Gaelick —"I have been dating my best friend for the last month. My best friend is a boy. Before anyone starts throwing stones of "passing", "straight privilege", "heteronormativity," or "attention seeking skank", hear me out.
There is little point in trying to deny that parts of the queer community are rife with biphobia. I dealt with it a lot with Ms Gay Limerick and even more with Ms Gay Ireland. For the year and a half I have been out, I am very careful what I say to certain people. Sometimes it feels like the more political and vocal I get about bisexual identity, the more backlash I seem to get.
Previous to dating the current boy, I was very hush hush about my romantic life to anyone outside my best friends and my mom. I didn't want the LGBTQ circle to find out I was flirting with boys, I didn't want my straight friends to know I was shifting girls. I became overly conscious of avoiding gender pronouns and did all I could to avert the inevitable slut shaming that tends to follow bisexuals around. I even censored myself when writing Gaelick articles so I could be sure there would be no flaming.
Finally, there came a point when I realised that I was acting like I was still in the closet. In the same way I used to hide that I loved the ladies, I was now ashamed of not being gay enough."

Bisexuality: 'Everybody is curious sometimes' and other dangerous Tropes
When I was questioning my sexual orientation, I sometimes got a message from my environment that everybody is curious sometimes. At the time, I interpreted this as a pleasant, 'accepting' message. It treated things as not a big deal; nothing to worry about. That was good, I thought.
But it set me back.
It set me back on my journey to realise that I wasn't straight. It told me that my homosexual interests were negligible. It erases sparks that could result in key realisations, as aberrations from my otherwise hetero sexuality. When I discussed this on twitter, a person responded that she was set back 32 years by this and others experienced this to differing degrees as well. It is harmful, when somebody would benefit from coming out to themselves.
It's also related to the untrue 'everybody is bisexual' stereotype, which erases the experiences of others and can degrade bisexuals (sometimes in spite of the intentions of people who say it, to show they are accepting).
This is exactly what happened to me. At 13, after my first sexual experience with a girl, I had read that same sex attraction at this age was often just a phase. It took me until I was in my twenties to actually realise that I wasn't just interested in guys, and that that was a legitimate attraction.

Recife and Olinda Restaurants
2 Readers' Suggestions
November 5th, 2009
9:28 am
É is the best restaurant in Recife by far and would easily compete with any 2 Star Michelin restaurant in the world. Other top end options are Mingus, Leite, Pomodoro Cafe. Actually there are so many choices. A reason why Recife is considered the third most important gastronomic centre in brazil these days. In Olinda the best are Maison Bom Fim, Due and Oficina do Sabor. For details of all restaurants, bars and cafes in Recife and Olinda see http://recife.pearltravelguides.com

At abt 67 km from Recife lies the small beach town of Porto de Galinhas. Drive 5 more kilometers to Maracaipe, a wide bay good for surfing and kite surfing. Coolest and elegant place to eat is Bar Cafe´Maleleo, right on the beach, comfortable chairs, surf view, delicious sea food and super friendly and helpful english speaking owners.

Classic. I love old school dungeons. Now I want to go grab some graph paper..
Here's another small 'old school' dungeon...
I'm on a roll. Here's a small crypt/tomb. I had fun creating the skull compass. ;)
Another dungeon... The left side passage is labeled 7a to 7i. The cave area has stalactites hanging from the ceiling. The secret temple (Room 32) is submerged.
You've got some really nice work in here!
I like this piece quite a bit :D
Thanks guys. I was thinking that the last map would make a great Kuo-Toa base with the water in Room 6 (and perhaps Room 31) leading to an underground ocean/sea.
Turgs - I don't believe that I've commented in this thread yet, but I really like your work. And the fact that you can pump them out as fast as you can is pretty impressive. Keep it up!
that underground ocean idea sounds really cool!

Working on the rendering pipeline. Refactored the old pipeline to support multiple techniques in two main pipes: deferred and forward. Refactored the shader system to compile shader "snippets" to facilitate modular design. That way I can re-use pieces of shaders where I need them to better support different user quality settings.
Forward renderer:
Implemented ambient light, the easiest of them all! Next, implemented a two mode directional light that supports normal maps and specular power/intensity maps. By two mode, I mean in high quality, the system uses per-pixel lighting with the maps, and in low quality it uses per-vertex lighting with no maps.
Also implemented a downsampling and gaussian blur technique to use with shadow maps, SSAO, bloom and various quality levels.
All in all, really happy to be back at it.

Mathematics - Colloquium
Wednesday, April 23, 2014
ABSTRACT: In the classic approach to option pricing one models the dynamics of the underlying and then calibrates the model to today's option prices. However, option prices derived from the model are often inconsistent with the observed prices in the market. To overcome this problem we model the dynamics of both the underlying and liquidly traded options together using forward characteristic processes. We develop theory and applications of forward characteristic processes in discrete time. In particular we provide a no-arbitrage characterization of our model and a rich class of examples. Finally we show how to implement our model. This is joint work with Josef Teichmann (ETH Zurich).

Post Shattering - Pilgrim's Peril Tips Article???
You might want to put up a last minute article on how to complete Pilgrim's Peril if you are a horde-- thanks to the Shattering, it is extremely difficult to get around to alliance cities. You cannot solo Ironforge because there is nowhere you can sit without aggroing the new level 85 guards unless you bring a friend along to distract them, or if you get lucky and someone has killed one of the guards before you arrive. If you die after you take the boat to Darnassus but before you get inside, you end up at the graveyard in DARKSHORE... and the only way to get back is to ghost run back to Teldrassil -but if you don't do it correctly you die of fatigue--you have to strategize. All in all, it is really difficult.

The festival has been running since 1952, making it one of the oldest in Britain. It is the largest single such event in London, dubbed "The capital's richest annual banquet of writers and ideas" by The Independent.
No other Jewish cultural gathering has the pedigree of Jewish Book Week, or its track record of welcoming a galaxy of international talent to engage with Jewish ideas. In recent years we have welcomed speakers including Jacques Derrida, Niall Ferguson, Gary Shteyngart, Nicole Krauss, Steven Pinker, Albie Sachs, Hélène Cixous, Zadie Smith, Sari Nusseibeh, Adam Phillips, Cynthia Ozick, Daniel Mendelsohn, Julia Kristeva, Nora Ephron, Christopher Hitchens and Martin Amis.
For many, Jewish Book Week is a treasure trove of new ways to explore the latest and best thinking on a vast range of topics published in the last 12 months. The festival attracts audiences Jewish and non-Jewish, and visitors both religious and secular. Visitors come not just from all over the UK but also from Europe and further afield.
Increasingly too the festival attracts younger, more eclectic and diverse audiences from among the UK's many communities.
Jewish Book Week is presented by the Jewish Book Council, a registered charity dedicated to the promotion of reading of books on every aspect of Jewish life and literature.The festival is its major annual initiative and is organised and curated by a small professional staff with the help of volunteers and in partnership with many other organisations.
Jewish Book Week takes place in late February and early March every year and celebrated its Diamond Anniversary in 2012.
Since 2012 Jewish Book Week has been presented at Kings Place, a new arts venue in the London regeneration area of London's King's Cross, in collaboration with the Kings Place Music Foundation. Tickets for the festival can be bought from the Kings Place website.
Lin Morris, a visitor in 2012: "I loved the polished, professional venue. It puts Jewish Book Week on a par with all the other book fairs in the country. Can't wait for next year."

Navy spokesman Jose Luis Vergara said Salvador Alfonso Martinez Escobedo was arrested Saturday in Nuevo Laredo, across from Laredo, Texas. The official said Martinez is believed to have masterminded the massacre of 72 migrants in the northern state of Tamaulipas in 2010.
The man known as "Squirrel" also has been linked to the escape of 151 prisoners in 2010 from a jail in the city of Nuevo Laredo, the recent flight of 131 prisoners in the city of Piedras Negras and the killing of U.S. citizen David Hartley in 2010 on Falcon Lake, which straddles the U.S.-Mexico border.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The death of Hartley drew wide attention as it appeared Hartley and his wife, Tiffany, were on a personal trip when he was shot by Mexican criminals on Sept. 30, 2010. The Hartleys were using personal watercraft on Falcon Lake when David Hartley was shot in the head and fell into the water.
The navy is also blaming Martinez for the killing of the Tamaulipas state police commander and chief investigator on the case, an attack that hampered the investigation.
The navy said Martinez is also a suspect in dozens of killings of people who were buried in mass graves at the same site of the 2010 massacre of migrants. Nearly 200 bodies were discovered in April 2011 in the town of San Fernando, close to the U.S. border. Those two crimes have been the most fatalities since Mexico's federal government launched an armed offensive against drug traffickers in December 2006.

Olympic Stars: Then and Now
Shannon Miller: Then and Now
Who can forget Keri Strug's historic vault performance at the 1996 Olympics, landing on one foot after suffering an ankle injury and helping the U.S. team win? Oksana Baiul, Debi Thomas, Nancy Kerrigan, Shannon Miller...the list of inspiring Olympic women goes on. What are they up to now? We couldn't believe the dramatic physical transformation Shannon Miller made when we saw her in a national television commercial, so we dug up some other women we loved then. You won't be able to recognize some of them now.
wow she looks rough
tonya harding looks horrible! karma's a b*tch, tonya.
Nadia was on celebrity apprentice this year. Tonya Harding got fat and looks terrible.
Ahem. Kerri Strug's injured ankle winning US the gold was in 1996, not 1992.
Katarina Witt looks like a man. Nancy Kerrigan is gorgeous.
Haha Tonya Harding - she got punished by the ugly stick!
Don't trust this Web site because there are so many errors. Nadia scored the first 10 in 1976. Dominique Moceanu was the youngest member of the 1996 team while Kerri Strug was the youngest member of the 1992 team. Kim Zmeskel only competed in the 1992 Olympics. And that's not a picture of Debi Thomas.

Throughout the primary campaign, Faith in Public Life has noted that exit polls have failed to ask Democratic voters if they are Evangelicals, while consistently asking the question of Republicans. On Feb. 5, the group took action into its own hands, commissioning exit polls in Tennessee and Missouri, which found that "one in three white evangelical voters in Missouri and Tennessee participated in Democratic primaries." The group's exit polls also found that "evangelical voters want a broader agenda that goes beyond abortion and same-sex marriage."
Exit polls show political diversity of Evangelicals.

Motor skills
Hobbies: Other than working under the hood with my son, I go to some of my daughter's competitions. Dannielle twirls the baton, and she has about five or six competitions a year.
Prettiest place you've been: West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Northern California.
Strangest place you've been: Military bases – the places you aren't supposed to be in. They would lead me in and lead me out.
Worst thing about trucking: As far as safety goes: politicians. They don't know what's going on, and they are the ones making the rules, and the rules they're proposing aren't doing anything. Also, the way people drive.
What would you change about trucking: Drivers would not have to load or unload. It's one of the biggest safety problems. A driver may have to wait three hours, and he can't get any sleep, and then he has to do his regular job to make a living. There is no reason we should have to unload.
Worst place to deliver to: Grocery warehouses, especially if it's not a drop.
Best thing about your truck: It's paid for.
How I keep track of expenses: I still depend on pen and paper. I use Ziploc bags to keep things organized and in their proper places.
Greatest challenge facing owner-operators today: Stagnant pay, but sooner or later, shippers will understand that a service must be paid for.
How I got into trucking: It's what I've always wanted to do. I worked for a farmer in southern Indiana, and I talked him into buying a truck.
Plans after retirement: I want to travel and go back to where I drove for work but didn't get a chance to explore.
Do you know an exemplary owner-operator with 15 years of trucking experience and an excellent safety record? Write to Laura Crackel, Overdrive, P.O. Box 3187, Tuscaloosa, AL 35403, or at email@example.com.

Rated 4 / 5 stars November 22, 2011
A platformer that actually has an interesting and challenging dynamic without being ridiculously derivative or hair-pullingly difficult. The challenge comes from thinking outside the box and considering what you can do with your odd removable limbs rather than "Can I make this precise jump, can I make this line up exactly, can I come up with the exact same ridiculously exact way the game-maker did to solve this level."
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars November 22, 2011
Really entertaining
The graphics are nice, the mechanics work, the puzzles are clever... quite short, though. Anyway, well done!
Rated 5 / 5 stars November 22, 2011
Genuinely impressed
This is one of the best flash games I've played this year, and one of the best flash puzzle games I've ever played. The mechanics are brilliantly unique and are used to great effect in the puzzles, e.g. in one level you have to remember that you can't use limbs without having your main body. It's used in a subtle way that makes the game very enjoyable.
The level design was excellent, most levels brought something new to the table, and didn't just descend into boring complexity (as most other puzzle games do). The levels were short, but very engaging, which is a terrific achievement.
Usually I'd put criticisms or suggestions at the end, but I can't think of any. The game is well designed, the mechanics well explained and the graphics are pretty. Perfect.

Krishna had told Karna secretly , before the war ,that he was the eldest of the Pandavas.
Parasurama gave the ashtra but not the power to use it for the second time.
Lord Indra took away his Kavacha and Kundala.
King Salya , as his charioteer , left him at the crucial moment.
Krishna had pressed his chariot , the wheels of which got stuck in soft mud which could not be retrieved.
The above were some of the facts which resulted in the death of great Karna.
This story is extracted from the Web Site.Hope it may be of interest.
it is a wrong god surya give boon to sahastrakavacha and 1000 years not 100
Thanks for your elaborate comment which is of great value.
Yes,Karna was indeed killed by Nara Narayana in a dubious manner.
As he was on the wrong side of Dharma , he met his death in the hands of virtuous because of his noble deeds.
Veda Vyasa has portrayed different characters with their attributes only to project the value of noble virtues.
Karna has become immortal as a a Dana Veer Karna.
Please read also my comment to Vijays Desk.
Vijays Desk,
Thanks for your revisit with some thoughts on the tastes of present generation.
I agree fully with your views.
Whenever , I tried to convince my children about the need to spend time with our epics ,chanting of slokas ,sahasranamams my wife used to say that at the appropriate time they will get the inspiration and learn.
There were no TVs , no mobile phones in our days and not many side attractions .
The present day generation has to compete with outside world.
Probably this is the reason for the youngsters to broaden their horizon in other fields.
However, I find them learning through TV serials like Ramayana, Mahabharat , Bhaghavatam etc apart from Hanuman , Chota Bheem, etc etc.
Let us know that the spiritual learning will come at the right age
Dear Swarajya sir,
A very insightful article on the great character Karna.
The natural corrollory being Karna although as a character was endowed with tremendous invincible powers yet he was defeated, through dubious methods though,as he was the rebirth of the Asura.
If the same philosophy were to be extended to present day generation then is the reasoning correct that some people despite having the best of talents do not make it to higher level, because they are being the rebirths of some one else,like the Asura in Karna s case ?
There is absolutely no second thoughts on the fact that an individuals company/surroundings matters as much as the talents for his/her success.
However the fact of the matter is in today's world read India,for success of any individual what matters is whom you know rather than what you know.
Kind regards
There is a reason for me appreciating your blog.
Mythology is a priceless heritage of ours. Sadly with each successive generation these ancient priceless treasures are seeing diminishing interests, especially for the younger generation.
Ask any youngster today and he will rattle off who the hero and heroines are in the latest Bollywood movies. Every latest Salman Khan dance and song will be on his fingertips. Ask them who karna was and other stories from our mythological past and the response will not have the same enthusiasm
Yes one has to move with the ages but what is required is a balance between the old priceless values and the new generation crazes.
That's why efforts like yours to present us with old mythological stories, and they can be so fascinating too, need to be given the recognition and also appreciation.
Just thought I should share my views on this
Vijay Desks,
Thanks for your appreciative comment.
I am no better than you.
After seeing the serial of Mahabharata in Tamil ( Sun TV), my interest for knowing the missing links of the stories got kindled.
Hope to oblige you with more , if I find something interesting and worth posting.
Shailaja S Bhat,
Thanks for an elaborate comment.
Yes, Badarikashram is an important shrine of Nara Narayana- Maha Vishnu.
I may like you to enlighten me with the story, if you have.
Thanks for your comment.
I may like to read your blog.
Please give the link or the year when it was posted.
I am in the process of refreshing my knowledge about the great epic.
Dear Raghava Gongidiji,
Thanks for your valuable comment.
I am no better than you.
My desire is to study the unknown side of Mahabharata.
Thanks for your comment.
There are many stories of the epic which are not known to me even now.
I have started going to the unknown side and try to enrich my knowledge at this age.
A poet , Vyasa has composed Mahabharata with 30,000 verses and very few know the complete as there are some difficult verses too which are not easy to understand even by the great saints and sages.

It's been more than 12 years since I had my first miscarriage. There was another one after that. I'll never forget going into the doctor's office with all the hope and excitement in the world, only to have the doctor's wand circle my stomach looking for a heartbeat and finding none.
It's still something that makes me ache sometimes. I think of the life that began growing inside my body that never made it into my arms. The pain has dulled over the years as I've had two healthy children since, but it has hit me hard at various times since they happened, especially when people say the wrong things. Most people mean well, but sometimes their words sting. Here are eight things no one should say to a woman who has had a miscarriage.
1. "It wasn't meant to be."
Then why did I get pregnant in the first place? Why was it meant to be that I endure this pain?
2. "At least it happened really early."
I don't care how far along you are in a pregnancy; once you get the positive test result, you start planning, dreaming, and loving that little being growing inside you.
3. "Did you eat lunch meat/smoke/drink/go horseback riding/exercise too much?"
Please. My doctor and I will try and figure out what happened, but in most cases, nothing a woman did causes a miscarriage.
4. "Once you get pregnant again, you'll feel better."
Maybe, but it doesn't mean the loss of this pregnancy won't be something I mourn.
5. "Next time you should try ..."
Anything that implies there was something I could have done or not done to make this happen just induces feelings of guilt.
6. "It was probably for the best."
Yes, some miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities, but pointing that out isn't helpful. There's no "best" in this situation.
7. "At least you know you can get pregnant."
Yes, but I also know that my body can lose a pregnancy. It's not that easy to just move onto the next one.
8. Nothing.
Avoiding the subject or not acknowledging that a miscarriage happened can be as painful as hurtful words. A simple, "I'm sorry, let me know if you would like to talk" goes a long way.
Have you had a miscarriage? If so, what hurtful things have people said to you?

Ya I've had 2, the second one at 10 weeks. That was rough. The other was so early on that it didn't affect me as much.
See, I had no interest in hearing condolences. I didn't want to talk about it, think about it, or get sympathy for it. So for me, "nothing" was the very best thing to say.
Ive heard all of those but the worst one had to be from a girl that my ex husband worked with who said well maybe its for the best financially since the economy is so bad plus I wish I would have been an only child I would have probably gotten more if I wouldnt have had a sibling....I wanted to smack the shit out of her & she said this after knowing that I was possibly not ever gonna be able to have children again because of me having endometriosis....luckily I am now 33 weeks pregnant with a baby girl I do know this is gonna be my last one but Im okay with that but I will never forget my 3 angel babies
I was 12 weeks when I miscarried the day before my birthday this year- I was so effin miserable- and the constant question of soooo when u gonna get pregnant again... like really??? IM STILL NOT OVER IT!! Im not emotionally prepared to get pregnant again - I still cry whe its even brought up- one person at work was like oh Bibi why hasnt your belly gotten bigger- I wanted to slap her cuz everyone at work knew- I just cried and walked away =(
The worst thing anyone can say in any difficult situation is Everything Happens for a Reason, or don't worry it was not meant to be. Uggghhhh

Welcome to the blog of Arel English. Relax and enjoy!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
These pictures are from Flushing Meadows, the home of Robert Moses' fake World's Fair from 1964 to 1965. This World's Fair wasn't sanctioned by BIE (Bureau of International Expositions), and is a testament to the insane ego of Robert Moses. The fair wasn't as successful as hoped, and was followed by Expo '67 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The Unisphere is surrounded by huge dry fountains that are now empty and slowly falling apart and filling with plant life.
The tall structures and the large oval structure are the ruins of the New York State Pavilion, and the globe is the 'Unisphere,' the centerpiece of the park. The New York State Pavilion was one of a few structures left in the park after the end of the World's Fair, with the intention of it being used for something. As you can see, the structure was never used, and continues to decay.
The tall structures are observation towers that used to have elevators that took people up to the top. It really is amazing that the structures have been left completely abandoned since the 60's, and haven't been demolished or turned into something.
Check out these amazing photos of the New York State Pavilion during the World's Fair.

7 Tips To Keep Your Home Clean (And Your Spirit Lifted)
Okay, we're a month into the New Year — how are your goals coming along? Like the one where you weren't going to have any more of those marathon cleaning sessions right before company came over (you know the ones I'm talking about. They usually have you throwing all your papers into a bag and throwing the bag into a closet. It's not until you've turned the entire house upside down looking for that business card you desperately need that you remember where you put them.) To stave them off, here are the tips I've found most useful.
Put it back after you use it: This is the simplest tip and the one that, if it's the only tip you take away, will render your house clean enough. It's also the one I'm most guilty of not following. I realized that the number one reason I feel grumpy about putting stuff away is that most of the time, it's not easy to put it away — the shelf it goes on is too high, the closet it goes in is too crowded, the drawer is too full. Recognize yourself? Then it's time to rethink the homes of the things you hate putting away the most. For me, it was the vacuum cleaner. Once I moved it from the coat closet (seemingly convenient but I had to move a lot of stuff to get it out) to the scary closet (a few steps further away but all I have to do is shove it inside), not only did I vacuum more often but after I did, the vacuum didn't sit out for days while I got up the "courage" to put it away.
Keep it where you use it: A sharpie in the freezer to mark those bagged leftovers, pens by where I plug in my iPhone, laundry detergent with my clothes, dishes stashed near my sink, the extra set of sheets stored underneath the mattress. The less effort I need to make to put something away (or find it), the more often it will actually get put away (see above). Even if the place you put it seems crazy (jewelry in the kitchen, vitamins by the front door) if it works for you and it gets put back, work it. It's your house.
Chuck the stuff you don't use: As Laure pointed out in her post about decluttering, some stuff, as much as you love it and think it's ridiculously beautiful and useful (the usual criteria for keeping something), is just not working for your life. As hard as it is to admit that there isn't a place in my life for that fully-equipped wicker picnic hamper, that I will never be a person who wears Mary Jane flats and that teacups are made for people who actually drink tea from teacups not mugs, getting rid of these things can have an enormous affect on your cleaning routine. Donate them to someplace that gives a receipt so I can take them off my taxes or gift them to a friend that will love and use them. I can even photograph the things that are sentimental to me or that I find particularly beautiful. Now my home has more room to house the things I actually use and I feel a lot less guilty.
Have an outbox: I started using an outbox during my first Cure and I haven't looked back. Most of us have a problem detaching from our stuff even if it's stuff we don't use or want. Of course there's the junk. That's easy to get rid of but man do I feel guilty when I'm getting rid of something I paid good money for, that was gifted to me by a good friend or that I inherited. That's where the outbox comes in. I use a bag but you can use a box, a spot in the closet or a little-used corner of a room. I put stuff here while I live without it (and subconsciously work through the anxiety of getting rid of it). After about a month or so, it's easier to make a rational decision about what to do with it.
Quality over quantity: My life got a lot simpler when I started to cut down on how much of any one thing I bought. For example, I have two sets of sheets. One for the wash, one for the bed. It feels good knowing that I have less to store and I don't feel guilty about buying stuff that's a little better quality because I know I'm definitely going to using it.
Make one thing in every room a priority item: I learned this from Flylady whose famous directive is to keep your kitchen sink clean. There's a "sink" in every room. Concentrate on keeping that one thing clean and the rest of the room will feel clean and eventually the clean will spread to the surrounding areas. For me, that means keeping the bed made, the coffee table clear, my desk free of papers and the bathroom sink wiped.
Use a landing strip: It's not only a place to put down the mail and the keys, it's also a launch pad where I put stuff that I'm planning to take with me for the next day. While this may seem to be more of an organizing tip rather than a cleaning tip, once I started using it, I found that it was much less likely that I was going to rip apart the house looking for my dry cleaning receipt. I started out my day on the right foot, came home to a calm home and I felt relaxed. Home clean home is home sweet home.
Do you have a go to cleaning tip or organizing routine?

I have hardwood floors and two dogs. Seeing clumps of dirt, masses of dog hair and other random dust bunnies on the floor, in the corners, under the furniture drives me KRAZEE. Having a cordless vacuum is my lifesaver, because lugging the big thing (or even a more lightweight thing) out and having to plug in in and re-plug it in, etc., is too much of a pain in the butt. My new hand held Shark is my BFF.
I like the landing strip idea! It would be great to set everything out the night before, since I forget everything in the morning haha
So many of these ideas are ones I've used under different names. My favorites are put it back when you're done and keep it where you use it. Among my friends I'm the only one who never loses her house/car/work keys, my mail ACTUALLY makes it to the mail box and when I need something, I know where it is!
In a small place like mine, you have to follow these rules or you'll end up living in chaos!
I love having an outbox. I have a basement box labeled 'donate' where I toss everything I'm not sure about keeping... and I get regular calls from a local charity about pickups.
The day before they are coming, I double-check the box to make sure I'm ok with everything leaving, then do a quick sweep through the house to add any other items I can pass on.
Works great and keeps me moving clutter on regularly - very helpful with young children who are beginning to acquire a lot of things! I also like it that it gives a frequent opportunity to talk to kids about passing along things that aren't needed, but that could help others. Because I get the regular calls, I remember to talk with them about it.
Ahh! I love the mantra 'a place for everything, and everything in it's place.
I happen to find cleaning therapeutic, but things are so much more easily done when you dont have to rip the house apart!
My best tip would be to do it when you think of it. Many times have I sat in the nice warm bed thinking about the dishes in the sink. So, instead I have been trying to suck it up and 'just do it.'
Need a better reason than a clean home? It's exercise! Sometimes that motivates me up off my seat to shovel the snow, vacuum, and fold the clothes, andpick up all the cat toys.
My main strategy is to clean as I go - wash dishes when waiting for food to finish cooking on the stove, grab stray clothing as you're on the way to the hamper in the bathroom or bedroom, wipe down the sink and counter when you're done washing the dishes, etc.
Barring that, I also make sure to set aside at least 10-30 min everyday to clean -but that's prob not for everyone (I get more anal about having a spotless place as I get older!)
I also make pick a specific day (usually Saturday) to get the bigger cleaning/household chores done, like vacuuming, watering the plants, cleaning the bathtub, etc.
The key is not to do it all at once, because it'll get overwhelming and too time-consuming. 10-30 min here and there and spacing everything out makes it much more manageable.
The chore I have always struggled the most with is laundry. I recently got a hamper with three compartments and it has changed my life, seriously. Just do a load when one compartment fills up, and you're done until the next time!
These are great suggestions, and I'm working towards following most of them. I'm not perfect, though!
Something my husband and I have been making a point to do is simplify our life, especially when it comes to gadgets. We're reducing our possessions and buying what we actually do need instead of what we *think* we *should* need. (I.e. if you never ever eat potatoes, there is no reason to own a potato peeler. If you don't have carpet, why have a vacuum? Etc. etc.)
We do need coffee. It's kind of our lifeblood. I recently saw a sign that said "my blood type is caffeinated" and had to laugh because, um, YEAH. That's us. Especially my hubby!
So ... because we love a great cup of joe and because we're trying to go a little greener AND cleaner (read: clear off our countertops) we opted to buy a french press and donate our electric brewer to Goodwill. The french press is easier to clean and store. Hallelujah!
Others might find other options, but it really is easier to keep a neat and tidy life if you don't overwhelm yourself with all those objects you think you should have to be a grown-up.
My landing strip has been redesigned in the past few weeks - with our rental we don't really have a hall closet, and instead had a cabinet. I nixed the cabinet in favor of wall hooks, a shelf, and a coffee table that I set some seat cushions on for a bench. Add a few baskets for storage, and Voila! We have an awesome landing strip.
I'm definitely adopting the "outbox" idea... at this point that's pretty much my office. It's been invaded by all of our random clutter, and I clean it out every now and then. This will make that room WAY more useful!
From waiting tables, I learned "full hands in, full hands out"... If I'm going to the kitchen, I automatically look around the room for any dirty cups that need to go with me. If I'm passing by the laundry room, I'll look for dirty laundry to take with me, or I'll stop and pull the dry stuff out on my way to the bedroom.
it really is easier to keep a neat and tidy life if you don't overwhelm yourself with all those objects you think you should have to be a grown-up.
Andrea! Brilliant!
Yes, Andrea! What a great line - I'm definitely going to remember that!
I got into the habit of making up my bed and keeping my house organized in 2009 -- now my house is a mess because my bedroom has been gutted and reno'd and my bdrm stuff is literally all over the house. Headbd/ftbd in the living room, along with my leather chair & ottoman ... mattress in my home office ... cedar chest with linens in the kitchen .... tv armoire in the master bathroom. Thankfully, though, I'll be moving in this weekend -- unpainted drywall and no molding or trim, but I don't care -- the room is warm and dry, and the drywall has that funky industrial look! I'm SO looking forward to having everything in its proper place -- i can wait for paint.
it might seem out of place to most people, but I don't put my vaccuum away. It 'lives' in it's own little spot near a cabinet and is always plugged in. Our apartment is relatively small (and the cord is long) so anytime a part of the house needs a going-over, i can walk in, grab the vac, do my thing, and then carry it back to it's spot.
Otherwise, I would never bother...
I agree that many of these tips are ones we've all heard before, but I do think they are particularly well put in this article.
And I have found that the "Keep it where you use it" idea is the best thing ever, all the others just seem to happen naturally if you have that one sorted.
For actual cleaning, the best idea I've had is to listen to tunes on headphones. Then I can get down while I vacuum. :-)
So true about being grown up is not overwhelming yourself with what we think we need.
It really takes a restraint and self reflection to be content with less. But makes life so much easier and cleaner.
I definitely agree about "keep it where you use it." I have scissors, pens, and chapstick in every room of my house. I also have multiple nail clippers/files and multiple lint rollers. Those are the things I'm always hunting for and whenever I need them it's always inconvenient to find them.
To NWatrous -
I thought I was crazy with the clippers everywhere! Now I know I'm not alone!
I live by my landing strip, which is a corner of my desk, next to the gadget charging tray. One enhancement that has vastly improved my transfer of stuff between home and work is David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) System* plastic file folders https://secure.davidco.com/store/catalog/GTD-SYSTEM-FILE-FOLDERS-p-16211.php. I bought these along with his zippered pouch to hold them and keep them in my bike pannier/briefcase. Several of the file folders come pre-labled, as in "To Office" and "To Home"--I used to have a hard time keeping track of stuff I was taking to work and home, and now I just dump all sundry bits of paper, snacks and such in the appropriate folder and unpack it and sort it when I get to the destination. It seems really simple but it has vastly improved this aspect of my life.
I keep an outbox in my closet (goes to an annual clothing swap), one in my son's closet for when he outgrows stuff, and one in the closet by the landing strip for items I need to give to friends and family when I see them (check it each time I go to a friend/family function). I also put a bag by the front door to collect things going back to the library (we go once a week), that way there is less of a mad scramble on library day.
The kitchen is the "sink" in my house; if it gets out of control then I can hardly do anything practical in the whole house.
*I highly recommend his book Getting Things Done…kinda like AT for the brain.
I've noticed that when something around my home breaks, often there's no need to replace it. Not automatically replacing things saves time, space, and money.
Having a kitten has actually helped me keep my house *much* cleaner than before. If I don't put something away right after I use it, Moxie will find it, play with it, chew on it, and/or hide it somewhere. Now my coffee table, landing strip, bathroom sink top, and kitchen counters are 99% more clean than before. Now if only we could get Moxie to stop jumping on those counters...
love last-two tips =)
The landing strip is amazing however I call mine a launch pad. Another way of putting is that everything should have a proper home. If you care for it, then it should have a proper place and be taken care of. For example, my keys either live on my purse strap or on the back of the door. Such a relief to know where the keys are!

Menstrual Cramps
By Terry Grossman, md
I've suffered from debilitating menstrual cramps ever since I went through puberty. Can you tell me how I can end this monthly cycle of agony?
Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are most commonly the result of high levels of prostaglandins, a type of inflammatory chemical created in the uterus. Of the many different types of prostaglandins, three relate to dysmenorrhea: PGE1 and PGE3, which decrease inflammation, and PGE2, which increases it. Your goal in controlling menstrual cramps is to decrease PGE2 while increasing PGE1 and PGE3.
Conventional medical therapy for dysmenorrhea relies on the use of a group of anti-inflammatory drugs known as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen). But NSAIDs have a major shortcoming because they are nonspecific, meaning they block production of all three dysmenorrhea prostaglandins, both pro- and anti-inflammatory. By blocking production of the proinflammatory PGE2, they help reduce discomfort. But since they block production of the anti-inflammatory PGE1 and PGE3 as well, they increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhage. NSAIDs, in fact, cause 100,000 hospitalizations and 16,500 deaths in the US each year. By using nutritional methods, however, you can easily help the body get its chemistry right.
Prostaglandins are made from fatty acids. By modifying the types of fat you consume in your diet, you can manipulate your prostaglandin levels in favor of more PGE1 and PGE 3 and less PGE2. The latter comes from omega-6 fatty acids, while PGE1 and PGE 3 derive from the omega-3 fats. The precursor to PGE 2 is an omega-6 fat known as arachidonic acid (AA). The body produces AA naturally, but it also comes from dietary sources. To reduce menstrual cramps you need to cut off the supply of AA. You should begin by eliminating or sharply reducing rich dietary sources of AA such as egg yolks, beef, lamb, and high-fat dairy products. The natural production of AA in the body increases whenever you consume sugar or other high-glycemic foods such as white potatoes, white flour, and bananas. You want to minimize these foods during the second half of your cycle and during the menses as well. Eating fresh vegetables, whole grains, fruit, and moderate amounts of protein foods such as seafood and soy, will reduce AA production as well.
The anti-inflammatory/pain-reducing prostaglandins PGE1 and PGE3 come directly from the beneficial fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Consuming cold water fish or fish and krill oils will increase EPA levels. Vegetarians can produce EPA indirectly from the omega-3 fats found in flax and walnuts. The two main omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are EPA and DHA. For general health, adult women should take a daily dose of 1,100 mg of combined EPA/DHA (1,600 mg for men). To treat menstrual cramps, you will often need to take larger doses. A teaspoon of cod liver oil contains about 1,000 mg of EPA/ DHA...

Bounding the Effects of R&D: An Investigation Using Matched Establishment-Firm Data
AbstractStudies of firm-level data have shown that a firm's R&D and the R&D of other firms increase conventional factor productivity. We investigate these phenomena further by examining the relationship between plant-level productivity and firm-level R&D. We find that (1) the productivity-enhancing effects of parent firm R&D are diminished by geographic distance from the research lab and `technological' distance between the product-field focus of the R&D and the plants; (2) productivity appears to depend on the intensity of parent firm R&D (R&D per plant), not on the total amount; and (3) spillovers of research effects from technologically related firms are significant but also depend on R&D intensity rather than total industry R&D. These results suggest that, despite the externalities created by spillovers of R&D, the `dilution' of R&D across multiple target plants reduces its potency sufficiently that spillovers may not be a source of industry-wide or economy-wide increasing returns.

I've actually been preparing for this for awhile now, having a Prot pally currently, my decision to level him came from the very nature of duel specs. I've been saving healing gear and when 3.1 drops, you better believe that day I will be prot and holy. Combine that with my Rogue and I cover every end of the raid spectrum!
