2. Netregistry General Terms & Conditions
The following terms and conditions apply to all reseller and ISP contracts and provision of all Services, including the registration of .au.com sub-domains the special terms for which are set out below. By utilising Netegistry's services you are deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions and are bound by them.

Book Description:
Ervin has brought together 16 reviews and 26 essays that chronicle the literary reception of Ann Petry and her three novels in America from 1946 to the present. Collectively and individually, all of the reviews and essays gauge the historical, cultural, social, political, literary aesthetic, and theoretical depths of Petry's novels. While specific essays will offer overviews of Petry's life and works, others will name literary influences, explore and evaluate her style and structure, identify her aesthetic positions as a writer and novelist, and define her positions in larger discussions of the male and female in general and the African American female in particular.Teachers, students, critics, and others will appreciate this volume. Select reviews and essays provide an overview of Petry's life and works, style, and literary position as a novelist, while other reviews and essays present her as a writer of community, cultural traditions, literary traditions, and characters. As a social critic, she speaks for the voiceless and the maligned; her criticism is sympathic, yet frank and honest. She speaks to and for men and women, rich and poor, young and old.

Blue Wish Resurrection is a doujin freeware Vertical Scrolling Shooter developed by x.x. Game Room and released in 2006. It is the sequel to Blue Wish.The gameplay is your typical bread-and-butter Bullet Hell game, with three levels of difficulty (Heaven, Original, and Hell) and two different ships, Blue Wish and Blue Hope. An additional ship, Blue Peace, can be unlocked by completing Heaven difficulty or higher on one credit.However, BWR is a bit on the Nintendo Hard side, being a Bullet Hell shooter with no slowdown whatsoever, meaning that you have to dodge everything at full speed even if there are more bullets on screen than there is empty space.A second version of the game, Blue Wish Resurrection Plus, was released in 2008 and features all ships available to play as well as the Eden's Edge, a new soundtrack, and Palette Swaps of the five stages. It also has a number of adjustments that make it easier for new players, such as more extends and deliberate slowdown when there are excessive bullets on screen. As such, some players have taken to calling it a good beginner's shmup.You can download BWR and BWR+ at x.x.'s website here.
Blue Wish Resurrection contains exampes of the following:

(shah-too-NUHF due Pahp) Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s - it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the new papal home, referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome. Notable Facts...Read More About Chateauneuf-du-Pape
The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red. Most of these varieties are used as secondary blending partners, often comprising less than 10% of the blend. The primary red players of Rhone blends are Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.

5-Year-Old Sent to Traffic School
When a mom was ticketed because her son wasn't wearing a seatbelt, she begged the judge to punish her child, too.
When a mom named "Jessica" (who doesn't want to divulge her last name) in New Mexico was pulled over because her 5-year-old wasn't wearing a seatbelt, she got a ticket, reports KRQE.
When she went to court, she begged the judge to discipline her son. He continually took off his seatbelt while his mom was driving, despite her pleas.
Judge John "Buddy" Sanchez says, "She didn't want to plead guilty to it because it was her son that was actually not obeying her."
The judge ordered the mother to take her young son to a seat-belt safety class, which starts next month.
"I think it's a very good idea," said Jessica. "He took his seatbelt off all the time until Judge Buddy Sanchez talked to him."
Do you think this is a good idea ... or should the MOM be the one doing the disciplining, not the judge?
This is great! Of course mom should be the one disciplining but I still think it's great for a child to see what can happen when rules are broken and that even us adults have to pay consequences. If anything, it'll be a good experience.
I think it's a good idea. There are some things children will do no matter how many times they are told not to and disciplined by their parents. Sometimes when a different authority figure tells them, they'll start listening.
It's not that the mom isn't disciplining the child, it's that the child continues to disobey. It's great that the judge stepped up to her request. But the bigger issue is that this child doesn't respect his mother enough to listen to her and I'd bet there's other reasons that are behind it.
I think it's awesome!! I got pulled over on the first day of school this past year and I was freaking out because it was aschool zone but I knew I wasn't speeding. Turns out my 6 year old son had taken off his seatbelt. I talked to the cop and told him I didn't realize he took it off. The cop went around and asked my son if he had an allowance, my son said yes and had about $40.00 in his bank. The officer said "Well, if you're mom gets a ticket then you need to pay for it." He then went on the explain why it was so important to wear a seatbelt. Ididn't get a ticket and my son ALWAYS wears a seatbelt without being told!!
As the mother of five children and a van with two rows behind me, it is more than likely that someone might take off their belt without my knowledge. One thing I have that I used and am not afraid to remind them is that my dad was killed before he put his seat belt on in a car. His hand was across his chest with buckle in hand when he was hit and killed. It serves as a reminder to my children that they need seat belts on at all times. My children have learned the consequences the hard way by witnessing the results first hand and it was a lesson that they will never forget. My youngest was only 22 months at the time but he still fears the warning. Remind your children that even in parked cars or slow moving cars a seat belt can and most likely will save their lives!
WTF??? No, NO, NO, are you kidding me? That's like me saying, Oh I want my son to go on a diet with me because it is his fault I'm fat,after all, I did get fat from carring him for 9 months!!! That is stupid.
I think it's a great Idea. The thing is western culture and Laws was very lenient in child discipline. I beleived that a little spanking wouldn't kill your child.
I opine that to receive the loan from creditors you must present a good motivation. However, once I have got a secured loan, because I wanted to buy a bike.
Nice article! Good to read. I've just got a opinion to make about funny t-shirts.

As a public service, Projectophile is alerting its readers to the dangers posed by key elements of mid-century modern residential design. Read on for their full alert.
I've often thought that mid-century modern homes were not exactly designed with safety in mind. In fact, many would not meet today's building codes. Dangers include open ledges, fire pits, and floating stairs. Seeing it all laid out — in parody — over at Projectophile nearly had me in stitches. It's a must read for design-loving parents!
Here are a few of their blog captions:
This stylish modern mother is too absorbed in her reading to notice that all her children have fallen into the living room garden.
Children are told to wear flotation devices at all times when inside the home.
Have you ever thought the same thing about mid-century homes?
Read the full P.S.A. over at Projectophile.

I love when that is shown in the movies, too! Peter Sellers in "The Party" and "Auntie Mame" come to mind...
I agree. Lets keep our kids in a plastic bubble attached to a leash!
Those houses look very scary even for me...
Two words......CHILL OUT!!
Haha, exactly what my day needed!
Fine way to go!
On a sad note, I believe the house in the top photo - with the kids about to fall off the wall and die, has been destroyed. Several in the NC triangle have been demolished, but there's a group that tries to save them.
My parents kept my sister and I on a leash and we turned out fine. I mean, you know, we have an affinity for leather and restraints now, but I'm sure it's unrelated. Besides, the restraints go on the men…
People with cool houses don't have children. We send them to Switzerland.
oh my lawd. this is hilarious.
qnssekr, that is hilarious.
Yes, the house in the photo is the Catalano House in Raleigh, NC. It was demolished. It has a very interesting history. You can read more here. http://www.trianglemodernisthouses.com/catalano.htm
It isn't limited to MCM designs. Most modern homes I see in the glossy magazines don't have railings. I might have even seen them grace the pages of this site...
Yes, keep the kids in a plastic bubble! Think of a house with no dirty fingerprints, no toys to trip over and quiet when they are having a fit (if you get the deluxe plastic bubble, it'll be totally sound proof). Don't want them rolling around too much? Shorten the leash!
All those MCM homes were never like the ones I saw in my neighborhood (all the ones I remember looked like boxes). The design is way cool, but one has to wonder about what happened to the adults? Every MCM had a bar which was always the first thing the man of the house would go to when coming home (according to an old movie I saw on the internet and everything on the internet is true). Have one too many and *thumpidy-thumpidy-thumpidy-Splash!
I've always suspected that the author of 50 Shades was kept on a short leash at home.
Don't have children. Problem solved. x
OMG, oceanstar9 is the winner of the best comment contest!
Um, my calendar says April 12, not the 1st. I mean you are kidding, right?
This is hysterical AND a sad comentary on current society. Just a few weeks ago when Adam Levine hosted SNL, there was a Lonely Island short about "YOLO" or "You Only Live Once" which could have been renamed "watch out, we're all gonna die."
Great post. This is not a place for sleep walkers!
I think this PSA should extend to drunk friends as well.
Well if you are a parent, and you had a house like that &/or let your children go unattended in such an environment, that speaks more to bad parenting than bad design.
We can't rid the world of all potential dangers, nor should we. Education and parental guidance kept me, most of you, and many others alive.
Personally, I think the design is interesting and fun. Not everything should be a McMansion (like the two houses that are now on the plot of land where the Catalano House was).
The comments on the blog post make for a fascinating read!
This is most hilarious and it strangely made me think of Ptoo.
My parent always let the five us us climb on the roofs and jump off or scale up the interior hallway like Spider Man. My Mom thought we knew our physical limits and didn't want us to be fearful. The only height accident happened when my brother fell out of dad's leather gloves and broke his tibia while on the zip line we set between the first branches of some 100 year old oaks. Other accidents all involved my older brother wanting to try out a new idea - shooting bottles in the air with a bb gun, lighting his initials with gasoline, having the glove brother hold a small twig so he could chop it with an ax. But, many years later, we're all alive and well.
Enlightened parents love modern and daring design...and believe in natural selection.
My sister posted this to my facebook, knowing that I love Mid-Century Modern design (and having no idea what that means). My response: well, since mid-century modern architecture coincided with the baby-boom and a lot of them survived living in these houses (much to social securities dismay), I think that there is a strong possibility it is possible to have both. If anything, they will just have to be smarter to survive! (Or, I will wrap them in bubble wrap.)
This is great, and also totally echo the comments - a majority of those MCM children seemed to survive, no?
We have a 1920s house and I'm always kind of taken aback when people comment about the steepness of the stairs - "You'd better watch out for those when you have kids!" or even as bold as "I could never have those stairs with my children!" Really? I mean, yes, when/if we decide to procreate, I will put a gate up when necessary and, you know, watch my children. But seriously, children have learned how to navigate stairs throughout history, right?
Psst: pretty sure the blog post was intended to be humorous, folks.
What's the problem ? Is there a better place for children to learn skills they need to survive in the cold cruel world than in the heart of their family home?
I do believe all of these dangers could apply to drunk people too. Love this post - too cute!
Hehehe. Back in the day we didn't have guardrails or wear helmets. Seat belts were optional, and so was standing on the back seat to hang out the sunroof. Parents would push the kids outside, lock the doors and start pouring cocktails. Kids where I lived had minibikes (motorcycles) that we rode 3 to a bike up into the woods on dirt roads, no adults in sight. And we liked it.
The title is a tad sensational.
That said, people used to drive without seat belts on too. There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect your children. I'm not advocating bubbles but stats might help prevent a few tragedies. Should we give up modern developments in medicine as well? Yep, thumb your nose at progress.
And wait a second, isn't this the same AT where floating staircases inspired comments of fear and more than a few pages of building code volumes started rustling?
It seems the trend lately is to somehow discredit the intent of the post. Had the title read the opposite I'd predict more than a few posts pointing out the risks of large water features, lack of railings, pinch points of hydraulic operated bars retracting back into the floor...
Hilarious post! It reminds me of the "unhappy hipsters" website, http://unhappyhipsters.com
In the 1970's my family lived in MCM house with full-on grotto/fish pond in our living room...no casualties, neither klutzy child nor tipsy adult! It was a major source of entertainment and creative inspiration to me and all of my childhood posse. My parents were very much of the 'I am sure you can figure it out...' school of child-rearing.
Dear Apartment Therapy,
As a public service, I would like to reassure you and your readers that mid-century modern houses do not kill children. I am the little dark- haired girl in the photo (second right); I and all the other children are alive and well. The house was designed by my father, Eduardo Catalano, while he was teaching architecture at the University of North Carolina in Raleigh in the early 1950s. It was a fabulous house. And great fun to live in as a child.
And today's high-rise condos are even more dangerous for families. The world's population is in danger of abrupt decline. Yeah, right.
Cool, @A Catalano! The definitive answer! ;^)
Growing up in the '50s and '60s was great. So much freedom to play and explore and learn. There was nothing to do after school but meet the other kids outside and play games we organized ourselves without any parents around to enforce rules. We'd wake up in summer, Mom would say "get dressed and go outside!" and that is the last time I saw her before dinner (we looked for pop bottles in the bushes to buy candy and ate endlessly from fruit trees in neighbor's yards for lunch). Wonderful way to grow up!
Ha ha ha....since I live in an Eichler home and I'm expecting my first kid some friends posted this on my Facebook page. Cracked me up! Funny part is that Joseph Eichler had families with children in mind when he developed his homes. The central atrium is a great place for kids to play and the walls of glass allow parents to easily keep an eye on things. Plus, the hallway bathroom has a door to the outside so it doubles as a mudroom/cleanup room after a day in the pool.
I grew up in a quite traditional row home in Baltimore. I still managed to fall, get my head stuck in things, burn myself, cut myself, etc. Instead of looking around for someone to sue, my parents would just yell at me for doing something stupid. I have to laugh at some of the parenting worries these days; over-protect their little bodies but let them learn their values from realty shows and play hours of murderous video games. In fact, I'd love it if some of these evil little buggers lived in these houses. It might give the rest of us a chance ... ;)
I always wondered about the floating stairs with no rails . . . . we used to use cardboard to slide down them. The open side made it more exciting!
Grew up in such a home, though not so high end, and none of the 3 of us was ever injured. Kids today are just impossibly dumb.
and from the title I thought u were talking about asbestos, lead paint and lead pipes LOL. I always laugh at the hgtv house hunters who say oh no i cant have stairs in my house, the children may be hurt or the children need to be right next to my bedroom or oh no not a fireplace, what else...i guess mine survived to their late twenties because I watched them and told them what to touch or not to touch LOL
Goodness, some people need to grow a sense of humor. The "PSA" is meant to be satirical.
I always love the "but we survived" comments. Well, I didn't exactly expect the kids who didn't survive to weigh in with their thoughts on mid-century-safety issues. ;-)
Some people survive without seat-belts. I'd rather not test my chances because someone else beat the odds.
@Mark - ROFL!!! And why wouldn't you expect those non-survivors to respond? This whole post, with all the comments is a riot! The extremes always crack me up, because I just don't have the inclination (much less the energy to spare) to keep up with the extremes. Did my kids wear elbow & keypads & helmets? You bet, they did. At least until I got tired of replacing them because the kids 'lost' them.
Stairs? Yup. With gates even, at least until they were able to maneuver them. Interestingly, they were all able, in their own way, before their 2nd birthdays, after which, I was more likely to fall on them, than the kids, & sober, at that.
Knee pads*
@Maybe Someday, you might want to actually read the article before you start bashing AT. The writer specifically points out that the post was written as a parody. I am guessing this writer knows not to leave anything up for interpretation. Sadly, too many "readers" are just reading titles and captions before adding their two cents.
Hilarious post, BTW. Thanks for the link AT.
In the animal kingdom, it's called 'thinning out the herd'...and based upon how some children are today, it might not be a bad idea. (Parents: I said SOME children not all...)
Besides, as has been said MANY times before, a lot of us grew up in MCM homes and strangely are not dead, so I guess they're not too deadly.
Any safety concerns also apply to elderly parents. These houses are not friendly to people with limited mobility!
But I think that people should chill out about kids' safety at home. If your kid slips and falls on the stairs, of falls in the fishpond in the living room, they will learn to be more careful and won't do it again!
Me, too, MonicaK!
I grew up in Florida. Every month or so there's a story on the evening news about a dead kid in a swimming pool (even now). Sometimes it's as quick as the time it takes to sing happy birthday and blow out the candles on the cake. I've also been an au pair, and I know how much three year olds like to play with water and how much they dont foresee consequences.
This post is great, but those are not homes for small children.
OceanStar9, .... Hahahahaha! Yes.
Honestly, I'm too clumsy for some of those spaces, and I have a few friends who would not be allowed to have cocktails if they came over. But, oh, so gorgeous.
On a serious note - water features in a home with small kids? I couldn't. No bannisters? Fine. Water? uhhh-uh. I get heart palpitations just thinking of what could happen. Fortunately my son and I don't have to worry too much about that - our little apartment doesn't even have a bathtub. But it does have a giant backyard next to a park, and he's encouraged to roam like a kid should (with many sly check-ins by me, of course).
I have sharp corners and open stairs in my MCM house. When asked about safety issues for kids (I don't have any), I said I'll have an amusement park-style ruler sign that reads:
"You must be this tall to enter"
thanks for sharing that blog--My New Favorite Thing!

Fall Short in Third Period Comeback
December 15, 2010
Glens Falls, NY-Ben Holmstrom's sixth goal of the season with 3:15 remaining
pulled the Phantoms to within a goal and gave Connecticut
one Whale of a scare but the visitors were able
to hang on and hand Adirondack a 6-4 defeat Wednesday
night at the Glens Falls Civic Center. The contest
was the opener of a three game homestand for Adirondack.
Adirondack trailed 5-2 in the 3rd period with 12
minutes remaining before the Phantoms would surge
back late on tallies by Erik Gustafsson (4th) and
Holmstrom (6th). Denis Hamel (8th) and Danny Syvret
(5th) had the other goals for the Phantoms who fell
in both ends of their home-and-home series to the
Connecticut Whale. Adirondack had a couple of chances
with their pulled goalie in the closing minute but
were unable to convert and the Whale fired in an
empty netter for the 6-4 victory stopping the Phantoms'
dramatic comeback efforts in their tracks.
Gustafsson led the way for Adirondack with three
points on a goal and two assists. The rookie blueliner
out of Northern Michigan University is the team's
leading scorer with 24 points.
Hamel's goal was his team leading 8th of the season.
He is two goals shy of becoming just the 19th AHL'er
ever to reach the exclusive 300 goal club. Hamel
is currently tied for 20th on the all-time goal
scoring list with Larry Wilson (1951-68) with 298
lamplighters. He moved into 55th place all-time
in total points with his two point effort giving
him 568 for his career leapfrogging him past Joe
Szura's 567 (1962-72).
The game was Brian Stewart's first since November
28th when he picked up a win for Greenville (ECHL).
He had not played for the Phantoms since November
13 and had not started for Adirondack since November
In the opening period, the Phantoms and Whale each
went 0-for-1 on the power play while both netminders
turned aside all eight shots they faced
The Whale opened the scoring 5:04 into the second
period on Kris Newbury's fourth goal of the season
on a 5-on-3 power play.
NHL Veteran Wade Redden scored his third goal of
the season on the power play to give the Whale a
2-0 lead. His shot from the point snuck underneath
Phantoms goaltender Brian Stewart's pad. Off the
ensuing center faceoff the Phantoms committed a
turnover allowing Tim Kennedy to pick up the puck
and move around Brian Stewart poke-check for his
fourth goal of the season. The back-to-back goals
11 seconds apart gave the Whale a 3-0 lead.
At the 14:35 mark of the 2nd, Danny Syvret got
the Phantoms on the board on a power play blast
from the right point for his fifth goal of the season.
The tally was assisted by Ben Holmstrom and Erik
But with less than a minute remaining in the second
period, Whale forward Kelsey Tessier converted on
a 3-on-1 after Stewart made the initial save as
Connecticut carried a 4-1 advantage into the second
Adirondack's Denis Hamel blasted home a shot from
the left win past Whale goaltender Cameron Talbot
short side to score his 298th career goal and eighth
of the season to cut the Whale lead back to two.
The goal was set up by a Mike Testwuide steal in
the Whale zone. A minute later, Connecticut's Dale
Weise scored his third goal in the home-and-home
series between the Phantoms and Whale to give the
Whale the three goal cushion again at 5-2 lead.
Ben Holmstrom jumped on a rebound of a Denis Hamel
shot with 3:15 remaining to make it a 5-4 game and
the Phantoms pushed into the zone a couple of times
in the closing minute with an empty netter including
a couple attempts to jam it in by Michael Ryan which
Talbot denied. Mats Zuccarello found open space
up the left wing and sealed the win with 26 seconds
left for the 6-4 final.
Connecticut outshot the Phantoms 28-20 on the game.
Both teams lit it up on the power play as the Whale
went 3-for-6 and the Phantoms were 3-for-7 which
included a 2-for-4 performance in their comeback
efforts of the third period.
Notes: Andrew Rowe returned to the lineup after
missing the previous three games with injury. Johan
Backlund remains sidelines with an injury. Danny
Syvret has a two game goal scoring streak. Luke
Pither had his two game goal scoring streak snapped.
Matt Clackson of the Phantoms dropped the gloves
with Justin Soryal for the second time in the home-and-home

Strong third period lifts Hurricanes over Coyotes
Glendale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeff Skinner scored the game-winner three minutes into the final period to lift the Carolina Hurricanes past the Phoenix Coyotes, 3-1, on Saturday.
Nathan Gerbe also scored and Eric Staal added a goal and a pair of assists for the Hurricanes, who had dropped three straight entering the contest. Justin Peters made 37 saves in the triumph.
Paul Bissonnette notched his first goal of the season for the Coyotes, who had won two straight. Mike Smith allowed two goals on 32 shots.
Phoenix opened up the scoring 6:14 in when Bissonnette tipped in a Connor Murphy shot from the slot.
Gerbe tied the game at 8:50 of the middle session. Gerbe skated in along the left boards, cut back to the middle and then beat Smith with a wrister.
Skinner potted the game-winner three minutes into the final session. After Staal one the faceoff, he dropped the disc back to Skinner, who skated through the circle and blasted a wrist shot into the back of the net.
Staal added an empty-netter with six seconds remaining to account for the final difference.
Game Notes
Carolina was 0-for-4 on the power play and Phoenix finished 0-for-3 on power play chances ... The Hurricanes will host the Washington Capitals on Friday ... Phoenix opens a four-game road trip in Montreal on Tuesday.

reid's mystery woman
i think reid and maeve make a very cute couple, that they would be adorable together, but i'm not going to let myself get emotionally-attached to a character that's probably going to be used to metaphorically rip the beating heart right out of reid's chest. she'll more than likely end up dead, and he'll end up being even more emotionally-crippled than he already is. let's be real here— given the track record of how reid has been treated on the show the last two seasons, there's no way in hades that this storyline (woman with a stalker who is more than likely the season unsub) is going to turn out well for reid or maeve either one.

Action Direct The late Wolfgang Gullich was truly a visionary climber. Repeats of his route, Action Direct, the world's first 9a sport route, are still newsworthy 15 years after Gullich's first ascent and still have not reached double figures.
The latest victory was by the Austrian Kilian Fischhuber who in an interview at Freakclimbing.com about his ascent gave aspirant ascensionists the following beta when asked "Which skills are more important on Action Direct?" Answer: " Sticking pockets, being able to jump, power-endurance and mental strength!"

Remember, if you're in SeaWorld and choose to get the free park visits to BGT or Aquatica, then you forfeit the "second day free to SeaWorld" that has been going on all year. And you forfeit their other offer "pay for a day and come back all year"
This is great for non-Florida visitors. AND it drives up traffic to the other Busch parks. I hope it works out for A-B or else these new offers could be real killers for the company.

Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy Speaks
Hear what this dad-to-be has to say.
The Palin kids might be off-limits for the press, but that isn't stopping their boyfriends from talking to the media. Levi Johnston, the soon-to-be-son-in-law of the Sarah Palin sideshow, sat down with the Associated Press to set the record straight.
First order of business: there's no shotgun wedding in the works. He's happy he's getting hitched to his 17-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Bristol. As for that infamous MySpace page where he described himself as a "redneck" and pledged "I don't want kids" -- he says it was a joke his friends hashed up.
"I'm looking forward to having him [the baby]," he said. "I'm going to take him hunting and fishing. He'll be everywhere with me." Him? Now we know!
It's true, Bristol's pregnancy was a surprise, but it didn't phase the Wasilla hockey star. "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid," he said. Last July, he went hunting and lost a promise ring Bristol gave him. Rather than replace it, he tattooed her name on his finger so he wouldn't have to bother with rings anymore. The details of their summer wedding are still sketchy, but some of his hockey teammates will be in the wedding party.
While his future mother-in-law is feverishly working the campaign trail in an attempt to keep John McCain's failing election bid from imploding entirely, Johnston has dropped out of school to take a job in the North Slope oil fields. "I'm still the same old boy," he said. "I'm just a workin' man."
Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.
If one talks the talk they should walk the walk.
For all of you fools out there who think teenagers don't know jack about getting married, I have you know that I was 19 when I got married, was with my husband 3 years before that and we have now been married for 32 years. Age has no bounderies when it comes to love and marriage. Just because your a teen doesn't mean you don't know what your doing. Look at all the "adults" who get married and divorced over and over and can't get it right. Give the kids a break, they are doing what they think is right and it's their business anyway
Hey Clara, you can't rape a willing soul! In other words, let me break it down for ya,…..HE asked, SHE consented, THEY did it, and IT wasn't rape,….get over it!
Geez Pam!
She is 17 years old. She should be shopping for prom dresses. Stop glorifying it.
I got married at 19 too and have been married 31 years. It was different times then. I communicated abstinance to my kids, also for the disease factor as well. We talked about self respect and the importance of college and making the right decision.
Sounds like he is going off to work in the oil fields. That means 17 year old raising baby without Daddy around too. I certainly hope the best for those two, but these kids still need guidance.
Hey Janice, How do you know they don't have guidance? You can't always believe what you read or hear on the news or paper. Those kids are damned if they do and damned if they don't. People would be giving them crap if he didn't marry her, or if she had an abortion. THEY are not running for President, or VP, they are just 2 teenagers who happen to be related to someone who is, and it only goes to show you they are human and it can happen to anyone at any time. They are doing what they think best, it's their business. Just because I along with some others are ok with it doesn't mean we don't have good morals and judgment, we think its ok they didn't finish school and hey, it's great they made a baby. It all boils down to IT HAPPENED and now THEY have to do what they think best, not what the American people feel they should. I'm sure if they would have been thinking clearly when they got caught in the heat of the moment they would have done things different but there is no use crying over spilled milk, they have to live with it, we don't!
I say it shows a lack of parenting on both sides. Parents who are preaching "family values and morals" and the I am better than you attitude. If this was a non-celebrity status, say a lower class family, I think all you people who support Palin would be in different judgement. It totally bothers me with people like Sarah Palin. They wear there Christianity on their sleeve, going around spreading hate and not walking the walk. Supporters tout her abilities as she raised 5 children and been governor. Well it looks like she sure wasnt at home supervising her childs whereabouts. "Caught in the heat of the moment". Betcha it was more than once, along with alcohol which was in pictures posted. My kids knew I was at the door when they came in to get real close and give them a hug. They also knew if I ever smelt alcohol…cars gone. They are both thriving in college…doing things in the right order.
Ya, and I bet if you look at your kids facebook or myspace you'll see pics of them partying and drinking it up right along with the rest of the kids! NEVER think your above the same thing happening to one of your kids. I have 3 daughters but they never got in trouble with drugs, drinking, or pregnant, but I would have accepted it and delt with it if it did. Kids are kids and they all do things behind parents backs, I bet you did too!
I love how everyone seems to think that "encouraging" or "managing" or "parenting" done by the parents is going to influence the decision of age 16+ kids. I don't know about the rest of you, but I knew about three kids in high school that actually did what their parents asked of them, I was not included with that number, and I bet a number of you weren't either. Stop being delusional and expecting a parent to all of a sudden know exactly how to STOP their child from having sex, dropping out of school, or throwing their life away. Let's also remember that they are very young, the mistakes they make now can always be remedied. Give everyone a break - stop putting Sarah Palin on a pedestal of a better mom than the rest of us. If you think your teenager listens to you and obeys you, they (and I) are laughing at you behind your back…
Levi is doing the right thing…that's all we need to know. The rest is up to them and nobody else.
Why is it ok for Bristol but the country bashed Jamie Lynn Spears. I think we have double standards depending if you believe in organized religion. As far as I'm concerned the whole Palin family appears to be have standards straight out of the trailer park.
There are good people who live in trailers! I get so sick of hearing and blaming things on people who live in trailers. Until you walk in other peoples shoes you should not judge people by where they live. In today's economy most people are 1 paycheck away from wishing they had a trailer to live in so don't knock it! AND have you every heard it doesn't matter how religious you are, what color your skin is, how much money you have, or how good of a parent you think you are,….KIDS WILL BE KIDS and no matter what, they do things that parents don't like.
No one said it was "ok" for Bristol and not Jamie Lynn, everyone needs to keep their nasty comments to themselves and take care of their own because you never know when it will happen to one of your kids! I said it's already happened so why dwell on it and let the family deal with it because it's their business
Hey Pam… What makes you think that every
teenager has sex and does drugs and alcohol??? I know plenty who kept on track and didnt make stupid decisions and are in college.
I've had a girl and a boy go through high school. The kids that got into trouble were usually:
A) From parents that seemed to like them to be "popular" and allowed them to run wild.
B) From parents who were so busy with their own lives, the kids were unsupervised with too much time on their hands and not much to answer too.
Again, I wish for the best, but I get tired of the oh well attitude. Especially when Palin fans list one of her credentials as a mom of 5. I think both her teenagers ran wild and both of them ended up in trouble because she is selfish. Anyone can have a baby. Its the teenage years especially now that parents really need to pay attention!! Shes governing and now campaigning…he was off fishing and snowmobiling and now campaigning. No wonder.
Justine You are very judgmental and your assumptions are very wrong. Apparently, you are prejudice against Christian moral values. Let me guess, you are not a Christian. You are a liberal and anything goes in your world. It's so easy to judge when you have no moral values, isn't it? I feel sorry for you.
Well Lori, what makes you any better because YOU just judged me and made assumptions about me!
I get tired of people like you who hide behind the "Christian moral values". You cant just say you are Christian. Anyone can do that. You have to lead the life. I am a Christian, but I am not your kind of extreme Christian.
My moral values are just fine and I have passed them on to my kids who have managed to stay out of trouble and not been pregnant!
I kind of have a problem with you too. You spread some hateful things about Obama on these boards and they arent true. Where are YOUR moral values?
I tried to post a comment about my opinion on this issue along with some information on the type of job that Levi Johnston supposedly has and what he could possibly earn. And it has not shown up? I hope it shows up soon… but if not I'll try again.
Basically people in the a career that Johnston has chosen make on average $50,000k annually … That's pretty darn good. They work 84 hour work weeks for SIX weeks, then get two weeks off. It's not as if this young man took a job that requires minimal amount of work and pays minimum wage. He took a job where in tough climate, where hard work is expected , and in which he can get training to move up in a respectable career.
He's a young man in tough situation who is making good decisions.
I have you to know JANICE, I don't think EVERY kid is doing drugs, having sex and drinking, I DIDN'T SAY THAT! I said, NEVER think your above it, or your kids will never do it. It happens in the best of families. Thank God it didn't happen to any of my girls because I think I raised them well, If it had I would have delt with it and not blame myself, EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN MIND!, BUT KIDS DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO PARENTS! YOU think you have perfect kids, CHECK THEIR MYSPACE OR FACEBOOK, maybe you'll see different. At least I don't have my head in the sand thinking everything is perfect in my perfect world, because I did the BEST of the rest job!
Pam It is hard to get through a tough shell like Janice's. I am guessing she lives in a glass house…perhaps she shouldn't be throwing stones. I raised my children in a loving, Christian based home, too. My daughter was sexually assaulted at the age of 15 and became pregnant. She was judged harshly by people like Janice who just ASSUME things. They didn't know what had happened to my daughter and frankly it was none of their business. My daughter was tormented and teased by her peers, other parents, and her teachers. She was stared at and CALLED UGLY NAMES. Despite the horror she managed to live through she is now a strong, independent woman who is raising her beautiful son. She lives on her own and works in the Intensive Care Unit at a hospital. She hopes to work in labor and delivery one day. She wants to be able to help young girls just like her through a difficult time in their lives. I am proud of my daughter. She is an inspiration to me. Her peers, who once judged her, now look to her for advice. Amazing how things can turn around.
I am sure Levi and Bristol will do just fine. They are fortunate to have such a great support system. They are blessed because they have each other. And soon they will be blessed with a beautiful young son.
Pretty intense emotions out there, reality is teenagers will be teenagers. They follow the same bell curve we as adults do, some will very good, some not so good and the vast majority will fall in the middle. I have 3 adult children, they all knew they could come to me with any question, or problem. Sometimes they did, somethings not, I couldn't make them talk to me, just needed to available to them, and I was. 2 things I really pushed hard on; I wasn't born at 40, meaning I remember what it was like,although it was a long time ago some things never change; 2nd, if your are going to engage in adult behavior be prepared to accept the responsibility of the consequence. I had more trouble with my son than my daughters, and it took lots of conversions. I made it very clear that he was in control of the choices he made and that I would not give him any free ride or bail him out. He didn't take me serious, until he crossed a line and it hurt me to watch him deal, but I let it happen. The situation was not major, but the lesson learned was huge. He was not a saint, just a 'normal' kid, as are his sisters. Being a parent is the hardest job I have every held, and there is a lot I could do to help them along, but the bottom line is, children are not an extension of who we are, but independent persons with their own mind and will make their own choices, just like we did as children and continue to do as adults. There is not right or wrong there are only choices.
the responses on this website continue to make me sad.. so much hatred and judgment towards others.. not to mention, the obsession with knocking Sarah Palin in general is just disturbing, making it about her children is not fair.. The thing I admire about Bristol Palin and JamieLynn Spears is HOW they've handled it. I can't begin to imagine being their age and pregnant, then add the media attention, and everything else and it's got to be terrifying. I am impressed with their ability to take responsibility for their actions, when it would have been alot easier to go another route.. I am not going to bash Bristol, or her family because my family has our own issues.. I encourage everyone else to do the same because in today's culture it could very well be YOUR child.

Sony A850: new reviews, inside the stabilization, and firmware rumors
Don't you forget about me sings the Sony Alpha A850! It may not be the fastest or sexiest DSLR/iLC out there, but it is the lowest priced 35mmFF digital camera out of the box and it has plenty of megapixels for those who need them. So time to recap some of the action.
We start with two reviews, one at Digital Camera Review with Thenao Nikitas and another a very short one at Kamera & Bild. As usual, we won't spoil their findings here.
Next up, the Pop Photo Flash blog shows and briefly explains the image stabilization mechanism of the A850 and A900. As you may recall, once upon a time some people insisted that sensor-shift stabilization was near impossible with a 35mm full frame chip. Sony perhaps deserves more credit for coming up with this. Currently they are the only ones to offer sensor-shift stabilization at 35mmFF.
And we close with firmware update rumors coming from Sony Alpha Rumors. No specifics yet, but the rumors say "major" update. Stay tuned for more!
For more on the camera, be sure to check its list of reviews. Pricewise, the camera remains steady at $2000, however, Adorama is offering a free 8gb Extreme IV CF card and camera bag with it.

Mayor Richards ends re-election campaign
Posted at: 09/17/2013 12:26 PM | Updated at: 09/17/2013 6:09 PM
|Print Story
It's near the end of the road for Mayor Tom Richards at Rochester City Hall. One week after his democratic primary loss, the mayor has ended his campaign for re-election.
Richards says his decision was driven by an illness in his family and that he'll support City Council President Lovely Warren in the mayor's race.
Mayor Tom Richards said, "I think that Lovely is going to be the next mayor and that she should be, and that I'm going to work to make that successful. Now what role I would play in that, I don't know."
Richards says he will be Rochester's mayor until the end of the year. If Lovely Warren wins in November, she would be the first African-American woman and first female overall to lead the city.
Lovely Warren statement: "I want to send my deepest appreciation to Mayor Richards for his words of support. For the last three years, we have shared a passion for serving this city which we both love and are proud to call home. While in the course of the primary election we may have differed about paths and priorities, we have never differed about our feelings of mutual respect. Along with people from across the City, my husband Tim and I send our prayers to the Richards family."
Alex White statement: "I want to thank Tom Richards for his years of service to the city of Rochester and I look forward to returning to the issues as I continue my campaign for mayor."

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Missed this one originally, so thought I would reply to it now.sounds interesting , although the topic doesn't really make sense to me, sounds kinda like something that would result from bad team work where everyone wants to be the character designer, of course you haven't fully announced the topic yet so this is just a thought I had. Personally I think it would be amazing if the mission was to create a unit that consisted of a vehicle, weapon designs, characters, and beast/pet so your all working on something slightly different but still consistent throughout the unit. Anyway, like a said just a thought, sounds like a very cool idea Daestwen
We did something like this (though it was an individual project) with DEEP.
Since this is the Character of the Week contest, we do characters.
Maybe at a later point we'll join up with COW, IDW, EOW and POW, but to keep things simple right now (and since I'm running it, and it's a weekly character contest) we're sticking to characters.
this sounds upmostly awesome i'm up for this if anyone is up 4 carryin the burden of my shoddyness!

((And no, that name has nothing to do with us in any way. it relates to a 2 man team))
I would like to be in team with Radost, thanks >
Daestwen: Me and alice_ are in a team together with Clochette and fedezz. We haven't decided on a name yet but I'll let you know later Thanks!
I'm in if anyone wants to work with a stupid cranky old man with no talent that likes vector... Sense of humor will be required...

Just teasing, don't pee on the rug.
I'm sorry, I'm retarded...
hola, sign me up! this will be fun.
i'm lookin for teammate(s).
la la la thanks daestwen for setting this up! :]
count me in! If anyone wants me in there team you can pm me or else I'd like to be randomly assigned to a team.
I haven't had two seconds to participate in -anything- CHOW. I think I've done a picture every week for the last month and just not had time to finish. So. I'm throwing in the gauntlet. I need to finish somethin' or I'll go crazy.
Anyone want me? -puppy dog eyes- Or feel free to assign me as-you-please, DaesSpice.
I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way...
I'd like to sign up Bugmeyer and me as "Team Mohrbacher"

Okay, the list is updated on the first page! If you should be up there and you aren't, please let me know.
Could you put me up for random pickings? Please and thank you!
daes', I may have missed it in my pass through the entire thread, but isn't this going to be kind of difficult for people whose work is so radically different from most others? I'm thinking of people like cookie', me, Gax (if he's in), Clochette and so on. Would it be up to us to work out the sharing methodology, if that's even possible?

Oh, I was only wondering one thing Dae... is there anyway the random picks can be done by timezone? :o
I'm in CST and I think it might be tough to group up with, of course not impossible though, people out of the states... I dunno, just a thought?
Ilaekae: This is just me thinking out loud, but would it be possible for one of two things, either they form a group themselves or they be in charge of certain aspects of characters? I dunno... I could be overstepping the topic brief here. I'm just saying like one person could be in charge of coloring or line work or something? I dunno... might have to break it up into sort of a fully-functional art team with a chain of tasks or something?
Just thinking out loud really...

You're right Matte'. I didn't think far enough. It would be relatively easy for someone to do the penciling/characters whose strengths are in that area, another to "ink" those images in vector, and one or more to handle the paint and backgrounds.

Hey Dae our team has a name now: Grogro Zoo Thanks!
I'll be in a team w/ dwinbotp (and maybe more? o-O).
We don't have all the info yet, but we'll post it when it's all sorted
Ilaekae: I had this discussion with Cookie, actually. It'll be up to you guys to work it out, but I think it's doable. :] Clochette and entdroid teamed up and they have styles that could work really well together. But yes, splitting up what each person is responsible for is a good idea too.
Matte Art: It's a little hard for me logistically to figure out everyone's timezones, but if you're randomly assigned and it doesn't work out time-zone wise, I'll just switch you into a different group.

Okay the new list is up.
For those of you already in groups with less than four people, let me know if you're willing to take 1-2 of the randoms. Not necessary, but might be fun!

Mary (Mary Tyler Moore) could turn the world on with a smile. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) stunned onlookers in a new pair of sky-high stilettos everywhere she went, and Hannah (Lena Dunham), a true Gen Y-er, is generally too consumed with her own melodrama to notice anyone around her. Three very distinct women in different stages of their lives, navigating the perils of big-city life (the Twin Cities did make for one very large single place in Mary's day), successful careers and dating.
Despite escalating sexual explicitness on television in general over the years, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is actually the most progressive of the three. Mary and her girlfriends, particularly Rhoda, discuss dating and men freely but are never preoccupied by their male counterparts the way Hannah and Carrie are. For Mary, being single is more circumstantial than it is tragic. She's got promotions and dinner parties on the brain, not weddings and babies. And that's okay. (Incidentally, per our calculations, she's the most romantically adventurous of the three—having been on more than 2,000 dates.) On the other end of the spectrum is Hannah, who at just six years Mary's junior is seemingly light-years behind her, too self-absorbed to maintain a relationship and too entitled to keep a real job. Carrie is somewhere in between the two women—driven, ambitious but still defined by her love interests.
Mary was, as her no-nonsense boss, Lou Grant, put it, "a woman's libber," making it on her own. Her (modest) unconformity to traditional female roles carved out a place for women on television. And here is what followed.

Agreed, I don't see a single element of this "Shroud" system which hasn't been a common element of some guilds' DKP systems for years. And of course it suffers all the attendant problems: e.g. no variance in price between items = players passing on minor upgrades in order to maintain their position and wait for major upgrades. Guaranteed.

Same here. I'm glad you enjoyed reading my reviews. Of course, I will absolutely stay in touch either way. There are so few people I know interested in sci-fi and fantasy.

Noticed you liked The Bluest Eye, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

No I haven't read it. I'm putting it into my "to read que" you're right on the money with my book leanings. I love sci-fi that really delves into the "what ifs" of the world. Thanks!

I'm currently trying to get through "Vellum" and am relieved to see another avid fantasy/sci-fi reader to be unimpressed. I've been thinking that maybe my attention span is getting poor because the word-craft is good but the story telling isn't.
posted by electric at 5:34 am (EST) on Apr 9, 2008
Hey again - you're very welcome. :)
I know what you mean about having a lot to read - I have about 200 on my to-read list, and it just keeps growing. If you ever want more recommendations let me know, or if you get round to reading some of those authors, I'd love to know what you think of them.
Cheers, K

Heya. :)
Our poor spouses hehe. My hubby gets stuck with me reading rudely when we're out for lunch; fortunately he's lovely and patient and pretends to understand my addiction. (I make exceptions for romantic dinners ~rolling eyes at self~).
Hm, as for fantasy, well I notice you're missing a few from your collection that you might like. If you like George R.R. Martin you may like Steven Erikson - they're as different as night as day in respect of their story-telling, and world-building etc, but the quality of each is great. Erikson world-builds on a fantastic scale; the scope of his series is huge (First book is Gardens of the Moon). A note/hint/tip - if you choose to read him, don't worry if you're utterly confused. You're meant to be - the guy's a social anthropologist - he shoves you into his world with no explanation about what's going on, and his world is huge with many cultures. You might also like R. Scott Bakker, a recent hero on the stage of fantasy - his world and characters are quite dark, and his story-telling is reasonably complex. His character's aren't precisely likeable, but for me personally that's why I like them. I get tired sometimes of the cliched fantasy hero. (First book is The Darkness That Comes Before). I see you have Tigana by GG Kay...that guy is a genius, so if you liked that I recommend all of his novels (other than his Fionavar trilogy which is tripe, and might as well have been written by a different author).
More authors:
Carol Berg and her Rai-Kirah trilogy. One of my favourites..
Sarah Zettel and her Isavalta trilogy. Sadly underrated, but so fantastic...
Greg Keyes and the Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone - a four book series that is traditional high fantasy
Patricia McKillip - she just writes beautifully...she writes a lot of Young Adult fiction, her adult fantasy 'The Riddlemaster' trilogy (available in an omnibus) is sooo lovely. Her style of writing is different from anything I've read before.
Ok, I'm sure that's enough for now!
Cheers, K

I sometimes wonder the same thing about my library. And yes, I've enjoyed Tigana; almost finished with it, but reading has been interrupted by an impending move, so I'm stuck about 100 pages before the end.

Thanks for getting me hooked on this site. I should be doing a lot of other things this very minute, but instead, I am here. I think Lynn is even more addicted though, as she has a somewhat "disturbingly" close relationship with her books (to use your favorite word).

Announcing MORE World Alliances!
We told you that there would be more server merges a few weeks ago and here it is!
On Friday, July 6, 2012, we will be implementing two new World Alliances. The first World Alliance is between Demethos, Galicia, El Nido, Zenith and Arcania. The second World Alliance is between Bellocan and Nova. These Alliances will be in effect after the scheduled server maintenance is complete that day.
We will be holding a 2X EXP & Drop Event for the new allied worlds only from 2-6pm Pacific/5-9pm Eastern on July 6 through July 11.
We will also be giving a few gifts to the players of these worlds. Please log in from July 6 to July 11 to receive a 7-Day Hired Merchant Coupon, a 1-Day Hyper Teleport Rock, and a 7-Day Pendant of the Spirit. You can only claim these gifts ONCE per account.
We hope that these changes will allow players on the new allied worlds to participate in more community activities than they previously could. We know you probably have lots of questions, so feel free to post them in our forums thread here. We'll try to answer as many as we can.
Although I'm not around in any of the worlds that will/have been merge/d, I think it was a pretty great idea to do a few more merges.
Let me jump in and clarify- since people seem to have different ideas about the actual location of El Nido's server. The El Nido server used to actually be located on the East Coast (yes, the actual Eastern Coast of the United States) at the beginning, and was set up to better serve our East Coast players. After observing how things were going for a while, we decided to move the server back to the west coast simply because we weren't seeing the kinds of benefits for our players which we were looking for. We have, however, maintained the "East Coast" identity of El Nido because the players comprise of mainly East Coasters.
So to put an end to everyone's speculation about El Nido's location (drum roll please!)- yes, El Nido server is located on the West Coast. Merging El Nido with other West Coast worlds is our way of helping to bring people from across the country together. We know lots of Maplers make friends from around the world through gMS and we hope some of our West Coasters and East Coasters get to mingle and make new friends with this World Alliance!
We shall update you on any changes, anyone excited?

They should name the alliance servers. I don't mean combine the names (it would sound stupid) but give it a new name that represents them all.

Georgia investigators are probing the Morris Brown College (Ga.) Police Department, after it was discovered that the college employs officers who often lack proper credentials and training, reports WSBTV.
The college employs 27 officers for a campus of 63 students. The school only requires the officers to work 16 hours a month to remain on the campus police force, making them eligible for lucrative security jobs elsewhere.
Of those 27 officers, 17 have been placed on probation, investigated or publicly reprimanded by the Georgia's Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council. Several fake identification cards claiming that their holders were "duly sworn police officers" were seized during the investigation.
