I was skeptical about this game at first, but now that the gameplay is focused more on combat things seem a little more "actiony" rather than frantic "try to escape!"
(50 stars)
A nice looking game with good mechanics. Addictive and fun! If you are remotely interested in TD games, give this a go.

Topic » Contraceptives and Condoms
Around the world, 222 million women want to prevent pregnancy but need contraception. Meeting women's needs for family planning and maternal and child health care would prevent 53 million unintended pregnancies each year, resulting in 14.5 million fewer abortions and 250,000 fewer women dying in pregnancy or childbirth annually. In addition, improving access to male and female condoms can significantly reduce the number of infections transmitted through sexual intercourse, including HIV.
PAI demonstrates that reproductive health services should be comprehensive and include a variety of contraceptive methods to meet the needs of women, men and young people. Meeting the demand for contraceptives would improve the health of women and the stability of their families and communities.

The Ghost Of You1 Reviews
Hazel and Frank hang with Gerard and wander to band class.
How the hell did I just do that?
What did I grow a new pair of magic balls?
Well she's coming over later hopefully this confidence stays with me.
They both look like shit. Poor Hazel, her first fucking day and already a Motherfucking black eye. I got to find out what happened.
"So uh guys, if you don't mind me asking what happened to you?"
"Josh fucking Bristol. That's what."
"Say no more Frankie. Hazel what did he do to you?"
Hazel's POV
I was scared he was going to ask that.
"He uh grabbed me, started touching me and I smacked him so punched me in the face and knocked me down and threatened me."
I wanted to run. I wanted to run far away back to little old Connecticut so James could protect me in my room with Wizard of Oz on the tv with coffee and cookies.
"Come here Hazel."
I snapped back into reality, I realized I was shaking, I wasn't sure who called my name.
"I said come here."
It was Frank.
I walked over to his open arms. I sat down with him and cried into his shoulder.
Frank's POV
God she was shaking like she was trapped in an ice storm in the middle of Antarctica. One little incident like that I know for a fact didn't cause this. She definitely has a past and I want to learn it.
I looked over at Gerard who looked as worried as me.
"Hazel, calm down. It's okay we're here. It's only me and Gerard."
After a few minutes she calmed down. She didn't say much. She only took out her phone texted someone really fast and continued to look at the grass.
"Gee, why aren't you in band? Join it."
"I told you meese shit, that I'm not good at any sort of instrument. I've tried."
"Speaking of band Frankie, we should head down."
She spoke. Her voice is soft and broken. But she spoke.
"Before we go what instrument do you play?"
"You'll have to find out."
"I want to know though!"
"Gerard, I'm sure you'll find out later."
"C'mon Frankie, bye Gee!"
"Bye Hazel."
We headed down to the band room.
"Hey Frankie? What do you play?"
"Well Hazel, you'll just have to find out, we are going to the same class after all."
"Oh, you jerk."
Hazel's POV
The band room was huge. Tons of instruments. I saw mine all set up in the back. When my Grandmother called the school they said I could bring my own instrument or used the school's. So I brought mine in.
I talked to the band teacher.
"Thanks, Mr. Right."
I walked over to Frank.
"So Hazel, ready to see my baby?"
He pulled out a beautiful white Epiphone guitar. It had the lettering across the bottom spelling out 'Pansy'.
"Wow, beautiful guitar Frank. Like it's amazing."
"Thanks, she's really a beauty."
"So what do you play?"
"Well I play the piano, but I got really good at it and became skilled enough to play the synthesizer. Come here, I'll show ya."
"Woah fucking awesome dude! Play shit!"
I messed around with it to make it sound like some sort of dub stepped techno shit. Not going to lie it sounded pretty cool.
"Woah, wait how do you even do that. I mean just the whole top board looks confusing."
"I learned a long time ago. Maybe I'll teach you sometime."
"Now it's your turn pretty guitar. Play me something."
He plugged 'Pansy' into the amp and started strumming. I swear it was really beautiful what ever he was playing. The concentration in his face and the way he was strumming was just captivating.
"Wow, Frank that was beautiful. What was that?"
"It's a song Gerard, Mikey, Ray and I wrote."
"What's it called?"
"It's called The Ghost Of You."
"It's awesome."
I need to hear them play together later.
I want to hear them and I don't care what it takes to make that happen.

I was so pleased to have received your little home "Stars". The weather in Cape Town has been miserable of late so had to hold onto the home until things cleared up.
This weekend I officially released the home at one of my favorite places in Cape Town called Signal Hill. Its a stunning view point to see the whole of Cape Town and I felt it would be fitting as its so high you can almost touch the stars Its a magnificent area as you can see out onto the ocean as well as perfect views of the iconic Table Mountain, Lion's Head and the Cape Town city bowl.
Attached as some pictures of the surrounding area as well as the home in its new spot waiting to be discovered!
I do hope that whoever finds it will come to your blog and let you know!

These veggie burgers draw their flavor from vegetables, and that's the way it should be.
The most foolproof here are the grilled portabella mushrooms, so it's no wonder Robin Donovan serves them up in "Campfire Cuisine." They're sturdy and so easy to prepare. Spray the caps with olive oil, shake on a little salt and pepper, and grill. They're ready in about 15 minutes.
The rest of the recipes will require stovetop cooking, because the delicate patties won't fare well on the grill. Flip them carefully, or they're liable to fall apart.
While fragile in structure, they're big on flavor and plenty accommodating when it comes to swapping ingredients.
Make them with any vegetable or beans on hand that can be mashed: black, white or red beans, chickpeas, lentils or potatoes. Swap the vegetables: beets for carrots, or try parsnips, sweet potatoes. Change up the binders: Use quick cook oats, bread crumbs, unseasoned cornmeal stuffing. Add some texture: Cooked brown rice, red rice and quinoa are perfect standbys. Alter the spices by using a prepackaged blend or adding in cumin or coriander. Above all, enjoy.

REMAINS TO BE SEEN: "Our Body" as ideology
Katie (who gets credit for this title), Samantha, and I got sucked into the "OUR BODY" exhibit at UT's Stark Center, which houses a "museum" dedicated to the instillation of norms of human "fitness." Named after fitness gurus Joe and Betty Weider, its galleries include a huge, rotating plaster cast of a statue of Hercules, a reading room featuring sports history and periodicals; its walls are graced by posters of athletes and groups of men and women working out.
The call to fitness contextualizes the experience of the OUR BODY exhibit. Only during our making our way through the exhibit did its other investments become apparent. Of course, like all exhibits, it is rhetorical, guiding spectators teleologically through its scenes. Lighting, technology, and walls of quotations from philosophers, artists, and anatomists all give dignifying credence to the display.
But there are numerous problems with this series of representations. Numerous scholars and journalists have attended to how the plastinicization of corpses as a way of preserving them for display, the selection of "fit" bodies posed in athletic endeavors, and the pedagogical revelation of "diseased" bodies all may be aligned aesthetically and ideologically with Nazism. They are bodies made to work in the name of freedom from superstition and romance. (See https://sites.google.com/site/stopbodyworlds/media-coverage/body-worlds-body-aesthetics, and the excellent rhetorical/anthropological analysis at http://blog.lib.umn.edu/sphpod/sphpod/schulte-sasse.mp3).
In addition, the gender politics of the exhibit are alarming. Almost all of the "plastinates" as critics call them are male; penises and testes dangle matter-of-factly from most, with signs identifying the penis at every one. The female body is reserved for and sequestered in the "prenatal" area, marked off with warnings about the material within being sensitive and commanding reverence from viewers. Parents are exhorted to escort their children or protect them from this content. Inside this small display, one gets a look at the female reproductive system, with strange emphasis on the vulva, labia, and even pubic hair.
Then there are fetuses suspended in plastic at various stages of development. A wall sign describes the changes in fetal development week-by-week; except for the title of the display outside, the fetus is referred to as "the baby" after the blastocyst stage. The reservation of femininity for reproduction and the reverence dictated toward gestation have clear ideological import. (At the same time, the display of fetuses–shrimplike even at 8-12 weeks–would give pause to any abortion opponent looking for ammunition.)
In other cities around the world, the exhibit has gone under a number of names and has included varying numbers of plastinates. In some exhibits, the donors of corpses and their release forms are put into the foreground. In Austin, however, there is no mention of where the bodies came from. One is struck by the fact that they are overwhelmingly male and Asian in their features and coloration. (There is something seriously disturbing about seeing a corpse holding its own removed skin draped over one extended arm.)
A little digging reveals that it is likely that the bodies in the Austin exhibit (with the exception of the fetuses, of course) are those of Chinese convicts, numbers of whom could have been political prisoners, who were executed or died in prison. There is no way that these once-persons gave their "consent" to participate in this ostensibly educational, scientific project.
According to Boston Herald journalist Darren Garnick, German scientist "Gunther von Hagens' factory in Dalian, China's third largest port,
reportedly employs 260 medical school grads to work the "Body Worlds" assembly line. Factory workers get $200-$400 a month to peel skin,
scrape fat off muscle and replace bodily fluids with soft plastic. Based on a presumed 40-hour work week, that comes to $1.25 to $2.50 an hour for what has to be the grossest job in the Eastern Hemisphere" (https://sites.google.com/site/stopbodyworlds/media-coverage/the-working-stiff; see also http://www.postgazette.com/pg/07175/796418-109.stm).
This fact more than any other reveals the exhibit as a for-profit enterprise mounted by the self-aggrandizing inventor of the plastinicization process. (Not incidentally, visiting the exhibit is not cheap.)
Finally, the exhibit cultivates pornographic voyeurism, which, one could argue, all such representations do. I am not embracing a scopophobic stance, however. Numbers of groups have protested this exhibit where it has appeared (notable among them are religious groups for the unavoidable materialism of the display). Given the heinous provenance of these bodies, the employment of sweatshop labor in the tranformation of them into objects, and the posing of the dead as physically fit Barbie dolls, protest is a reasonable response.
At the very least, we should encourage spectators to recognize the rhetoricity of the display and to question the conditions of its production and the social relations of its consumption.
At UT, the exhibit is called: "OUR BODY: The Universe Within." Marketed as a display of "actual human bodies," the display will, according to promotional material, make it so that "You will never look at your body in the same way again!" It is, according to the brochure, a "blockbuster exhibit!"
The exhortations to regard these molded, arranged bodies as "our bodies" and to learn a new way of seeing ourselves through these viscerally exposed models may cultivate identification with these anonymous others. However, it seems to me that the import of the title "OUR BODIES" is the claim to ownership, wherein property and propriety intersect.
My Harvey Milk Day Speech . . . how I wanted it to come out.
We Must Unite and Fight:
Speech at Harvey Milk Day Rally 5/22/2010, Austin Texas
Conclusion of Equality Across America statewide conference
(which didn't exactly come out this way)
Today, I am wearing the "queermadillo" t-shirt that many of you present signed at the 300,000 strong National Equality March in Washington D.C. That march demanded full equality at the federal level for LGBTQ persons in all matters governed by civil law. The march was a powerful statement that we are here, we are on the move, and we are not waiting for our rights.
As I put on this shirt, I was reminded of the incredible diversity of our communities as reflected in the ways we name ourselves: Lesbian. Gay. Bisexual. Transgender. Transsex. Intersexed. Allied. Questioning. Queer. Moreover, many of us experience the multiple oppressions of living at the intersections of race, gender, sex, class, nation, and so on. We belong to multiple political organizations and ascribe to diverse political beliefs.
But we share in common the way that we challenge or mess up the segregated categories that our rulers depend upon to divide us—gay/straight, black/white, immigrant/native, male/female: legal/illegal. When we demand equality, even in the seemingly conservative domain of marriage and family, we mess up the categories that warrant the dehumanization of so many of us to the profit of the few. The backlash against us shows how we share enemies in common. We share on a deep level our demand for recognition of our core humanity.
For these reasons, we must UNITE and fight.
Every day, we undergo the insults of oppression and we face the limitations of our movement and its leaders in responding to our needs. Emmanuel Winston today told us today about being bashed, how he represents thousands of other instances of everyday violence against gay and especially transgender persons. In 30 states it is legal to fire a person just for being gay. Transgender workers face the added burden of not having documentation that matches their gender identity and expression, which leads to incredible unemployment and hardship.
Many of you here represent members of the military and veterans persecuted under the Don't Ask Don't Tell law. Like many immigrants, we are decreed "illegal," and with immigrants, we demand the breakdown of the borders between us. Out4Immigration founder Amos Lim today told us how deeply the immigration issue matters to LGBTQ people. If we are in bi-national families, we have no legal right to unite them.
And then we are denied the rights and dignities of recognized families and marriage. I know many of you recognize, as I do, that the nuclear family idealized by the Right is a problem. But our demand for marriage equality is not a bid to replicate the politics of normal. When we enter these relationships and win recognition for them, we are transforming society at its base. We transform these institutions by our entry into them. Marriage and family rights are, like immigration rights, a class issue as well. Being able to provide one's partner health care; the right to share and inherit property and pensions; these and many other benefits are desperately needed by many of us.
We MUST unite and fight!
But the leading organizations of our movement—including the Human Rights Campaign and the National Lesbian and Gay Rights Lobby—have failed to prevent or stop these harms. They have counseled patience, compromise, and working through the "official" channels of elections and lobbying. They embrace Democratic politicians and forgive them when they betray us. For 40 years, basically since Stonewall, these organizations have not moved us forward. The old strategies are not working any more and we are tired of waiting.
It will take a new generation, this generation here, to refuse to compromise or to wait when it comes to our basic rights. Harvey Milk, whose life and work we honor here today, once said, "It takes no compromise to give people their rights." In other words, our rights are not subject to compromise! Dismissing our urgency and militance, Congressman Barney Frank told organizers for the National Equality March last year that the only thing that would feel the pressure of the movement was the grass. But we will not wait and we will not be silent.
We must unite and FIGHT.
Harvey Milk was a politician yes, but an organizer, a rabble-rouser, and an agitator first and foremost. He refused to settle, to wait, or to give up what was unique about himself even while uniting with others across ideology, race, gender, sexual orientation, and class. Infamously, he told every group he spoke to that his aim was to recruit them. His memory continues to recruit us to this fight.
He said, "I have tasted freedom. I will not give up that which I have tasted. I have a lot more to drink."
We have tasted freedom in recent years in several states, only to have the cup ripped from our hands. But we will not give up that which we have tasted. We have a lot more to drink. Harvey Milk struggled until his death to win his freedom.
If we are rightly to honor his legacy, WE must unite and fight!
Harvey Milk was right.
We must UNITE and fight.
We MUST unite and fight.
We must unite and FIGHT!

The Alabama Crimson beat the Texas A&M Aggies 9 days ago, and the Alabama fans are still riding high. Most fans like to seek out fans of the other team and talk trash directly to them on social media. Sometimes they'll go directly to the athletes or teams via their social media accounts.
One fan took it old school and opted to go with snail mail with a bonus newspaper clipping.
This was delivered to 12th Man Foundation office TODAY from Montgomery, Alabama. Definitely @finebaum listener pic.twitter.com/8wxLf1Hop3
— Rusty Burson (@12thManRusty) September 19, 2013
The letter reads:
"You will not ever beat us again. We've had two weeks to prepare for you and you have no defense that can stop us."
The letter has no return address best I can tell, way to go. That is the snail mail version of sub-tweeting and pretty cowardly. The postage stamp indicates that it comes from Montgomery, Alabama.
Interestingly this bit of confidence came before the game. This wasn't a post game celebratory in your face letter, this was a before hand smack talk letter. The stamp indicates that it was mailed on September 10th, the two squared off on the 14th.

A character does something courageous, traumatic, monumental or suicidal to have sex.
Simon: I mean to say...
Kaylee: (cocks her gun) Hell with this. I'm gonna live!A character knows that they need to get laid. And they want to. Desperately, in fact. The thing is, getting it (or at least, with the person they want) is an ordeal. They need to move mountains, walk on hot coals, drag carts through the desert, and single-handedly defeat The Empire. Or, they think they do anyway. This motivation is all they need. Tends to overlap with Love Makes You Evil, Love Makes You Crazy, and Love Makes You Stupid. May invoke My Biological Clock Is Ticking, I Want Grandkids, or good old-fashioned Deus Sex Machina. Note: This trope does not apply for obscure instances. Not every Save the Princess trope is this plot (not even when it involves a Standard Hero Reward). Also, there is a difference between doing these things for love and doing them for sex. Examples must be the latter. Also: incidentally, this is the◊ Trope Namer.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Autopsies are planned Monday on a Kalamazoo couple found dead in their home by police about 2:30 Sunday morning.
Friends, neighbors and relatives have no idea why Nawfal Rachdi would murder his wife, Andrea, and then kill himself. They say everything appeared to be fine with the couple and their 3-small children. There were no previous reports of domestic trouble at their small single story home at 2203 Lakeway Ave. in the Milwood neighborhood, where they had lived for a year and a half.
Police did get a report of a problem early Sunday morning from a friend of the female victim. When officers arrived at the home it was quiet, but they could see a person lying on the floor from the outside, and forced their way in.
They found the body of the 29-year-old woman and a 25-year old man, and evidence leading them to suspect it was a murder suicide.
The children were not home at the time. Police have not released how they died.
They would like to hear from anyone who might have helpful information.

Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0) InformationFiled under Belle Plaine, Blog, Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska, Communities, Eden Prairie, Elko New Market, Featured News, Jordan, Lakeville, Lonsdale, New Prague, Northfield, Prior Lake, Savage, Shakopee No Comments
With the downturn of the MN real estate market, many homeowners have found themselves underwater on their mortgages. The majority of these homes were purchased at 5-7% interest rates common during the boom years through 2006/2007. Current interest rates are often below 4%, making refinancing a MN home attractive to take advantage of these substantially lower interest rates. Trouble is, values are such that many homes will not appraise at a value sufficient to enable refinancing. No longer is this an issue….HARP 2.0 has arrived. While details are still coming about about the new HARP 2.0 program, here is what we have so far:
HARP allows homeowners facing difficultiesrefinancing their mortgage through conventional methods to apply for a refinance of their mortgage. A homeowner that is current with their monthly payments but unable to refinance due to a drop in the value is the typical prime candidate for the HARP program. The ultimate goal is to allow a homeowner to do a mortgage refinance for a lower interest rate and overall monthly payment. Here are the general eligibility guidelines for HARP:
- There is no loan-to-value cap in the new HARP, for fixed-rate loans. This is the most significant change of HARP 2.0. Under previous versions of HARP, the LTV could not exceed 125%.
- The loan on your property is owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Determine if you have a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan by going online (check Fannie; and check Freddie) or by calling 800-7FANNIE or 800-FREDDIE (8 am to 8 pm ET).
- At the time you apply, you are current on your mortgage payments. You can have one 30-day late payment in the past 12 months, but none within the past 6 months.
- The refinance improves the long-term affordability or stability of your loan.
HARP Changes for Lenders and Effects on Borrowers
The following is a summary of key changes found in HARP 2.0. Some key underwriting details are not yet announced, and are expected to be released before March 2012.
- Limited Liability
- What's new: A key provision of the new HARP is that it limits lenders' liability in cases of loan default. Essentially, Fannie and Freddie will not force the lender to buy back a non-performing loan.
Effect on you: This change should greatly expand HARP's reach. Lenders will be much more eager to offer HARP loans, where they were previously reluctant. With more lenders participating, you will have an easier time getting a HARP mortgage.
- Lender Fees Dropped
- What's new: Fees that Fannie and Freddie charge lenders for high LTV loans are being cut.
Effect on you: The reduced fees are passed on to you, making your loan cheaper. If you are financing to a 15-year or 20-year loan, the fees are cut even further.
- Credit Score and Income Requirements Relaxed
- What's new: As long as your new HARP monthly payment is not more than 20% greater than your current payment, specific credit and income guidelines do not apply. The lender will have to determine that the borrower is an "acceptable credit risk" (and what that means is yet to be determined).
Effect on you: A low credit score or high DTI is not enough to automatically disqualify a borrower. Also, if your family is now a one-income family when it was a two-income family on the original loan, you only have to show proof of one income, as opposed to conventional loans where all borrowers listed on the application must document income.
- Underwriting Requirements Relaxed
- What's new No. 1: Mortgage Payment History: A HARP lender can approve a loan that has one late mortgage payment in past 12 months, as long as it did not take place in the last six months.
Effect on you: You won't be counted out for a mortgage late, when that could normally eliminate your ability to get refinanced at the lowest rates available. If you have a recent mortgage late, you can still apply for HARP, once you meet the relaxed mortgage late requirements.
What's new No. 2: Relaxed Foreclosure & Bankruptcy rules: Your HARP loan could be approved, regardless of how recently a borrower filed bankruptcy or experienced a foreclosure.
Effect on you: Normally, if you filed for bankruptcy or experienced a foreclosure you would have to wait years before you could successfully refinance.
- Occupancy Requirements Relaxed
- What's new: Owner Occupancy: HARP loans are no longer restricted only to owner-occupants.
- Effect on you: You can now use HARP to refinance your second home or investment property.
- Lenders Must Show that a Borrower Benefits
- What's new: Lenders must show that the HARP mortgage borrower derives one or more of the following four benefits in the new loan:
- Reduce the size of the monthly payment
- Change to a more stable loan product, such as moving from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage
- Reduce the interest rate
- Reduce the loan amortization term (moving to a shorter-term loan)
- Relaxed Condominium Requirements
- What's new: HARP eligibility used to require that no more than 10% of units in the complex be owned by one person and that no more than 20% of owners in the complex be behind on their HOA dues. These requirements are now removed.
Effect on you: More condo owners will now qualify for HARP. If you own a condo, your qualifying for the HARP program is no longer dependent on your neighbors' finances.
"Condominium owners have perhaps the best reason to be optimistic; lenders are being relieved of the responsibility (for HARP refinance loans only) to ensure that condo projects meet the often strict project approval requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," Citera said. "Borrowers living in condominium projects that have seen a sharp increase in the number of renters, or those that have experienced some level of budgetary stress, will be much more likely to find relief under HARP 2.0 than they have under existing programs (as long as their loans are owned by Fannie or Freddie)."
Hold Your Horses
The majority of HARP 2.0 files will not be approved until sometime after March 1st. Both Fannie and Freddie must update their automated loan underwriting/approval software by March, 2012. Until then, while lenders may approve HARP mortgages by manually underwriting the loans, loans that are manually underwritten expose the lender to greater risk. If a manually underwritten loan defaults, the lender will be required to buy back the loan.
Given the protections that the lender will have once the automated underwriting programs are updated and ready in March, 2012, it seems very likely that most loan originators will wait until March, 2012. Be ready to move forward with an application, once lenders start taking them, but be prepared for a very long process before your loan closes.
Before refinancing, borrowers should know whether their current loan is a recourse or non-recourse loan and also be familiar with their state's anti deficiency laws. Refinancing a non-recourse loan could expose the borrower to responsibility for a potentially huge financial obligation where no such obligation currently exists.
Basic HARP Requirements
Not every upside-down home qualifies for HARP 2.0. Here is a summary of the basic requirements:
- The loan must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
- The loan was sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009.
- The loan was not refinanced under HARP previously, unless it is a Fannie Mae loan that was refinanced under HARP from March through May, 2009.
- The loan's current loan-to-value (LTV) is greater than 80%.

At first South Korea and coffee don't seem to have much in common… Until you go to Seoul. The city thrives with a strong coffee culture with literally thousands of coffee shops! From all the different chains (Tom N Toms, Caffe Bene, Holly's Coffee…) to the huge number of independent coffee shops all rivalling with incredible atmospheres.
The diversity in both the beverages and the decor is quite amazing. Compared to Western countries there is so much more creativity, attention to detail and presentation. Themed coffee shops are popular, with cat cafes or character cafes (Charlie Brown, Hello Kitty…) and cute is big thing here.
At the heart of a 10 million inhabitants city like Seoul, who would expect to find a great hiking spot like Ansan mountain? When you need a break from the noise and the crowd climb one of the many slopes for a mini retreat.
Hidden among the trees are several exercise areas, Korean style picnic tables and even a natural spring. Koreans are really fond of hiking, especially ajummas and ajhussis (middle aged Koreans) who sport colorful hiking gear and walk-up with their friends.
It feels good to be back in Seoul and enjoy the summer weather in one of the liveliest neighborhoods… Hongdae, home of Korean indie musicians and artists!

Why do we need violence to transfer power?
Revolutions are some very effective types of mass manipulation through which power changes and shifts. Why do we, humas, hold on to our positions or ideas even if we know we are wrong?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Bruno CarreJan 28 2012: because, sadly, violence is a huge part of human nature, which dictates behavior too often. We are still animals, after all, with a "superior" brain. But this human brain is often underused or bypassed by the urge to use force.
Also this:
Put the history of violence on a timeline: It's been used and accepted since the dawn of the human race, for thousands and thousands of years. The concepts of peaceful settlements are relatively "new". The UN was created less than a hundred years ago. What's that compared to thousands of years during which violence was a part of everyday life?
The peaceful homo sapiens is just a toddler...
Fortunately, there are examples that show peaceful resolutions of conflicts work: Gandhi, the revolution in Portugal, Czechoslovakia, etc.
This shows us the 20th and 21st century human is capable of evolving and has found a new way to solve conflicts.
Be patient, tell your children to tell their children there are many ways other than violence to make a dent in the universe.

It's good to sit down with old friends around the holidays, even if one is a trouble magnet. In fact, that's a lot of the allure of Cornwell's best-known character. Dr. Kay Scarpetta has evolved again, as have her retinue of family, friends and co-workers, and the week before Christmas brings enough drama to tie a pretzel in knots. The shifting viewpoints won't matter to Cornwell fans, who are getting a thrilling, page-turning mystery.
Married -- perhaps not always comfortably -- to former FBI profiler Benton Wesley, Kay has been working pro bono for New York's Chief Medical Examiner's office. The season of goodwill has Kay investigating the disappearance of high-profile financial adviser Hannah Starr and the murder of waitress and dedicated runner Toni Darien -- and that doesn't even count her stint as senior forensic analyst for CNN, or that a producer is thinking of giving her her own show, The Scarpetta Factor.
Wesley, meanwhile, is caught in his own tangled web. There's a patient who may be trying to hurt Kay and a mob figure from his past that might still want him dead. (PUTNAM, Nov., 512 pp., $27.95)

This is how you lose her.
You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger's voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely.
You must remember when she forgets.
You lose her when you don't notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you're about to ask a question but you think anything you're about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don't even know about yourself, because she pays attention.
She remembers when you forget.
You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.
You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And, this is how you keep her.
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
It's important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
I think this just changed my life.
Then he touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith will it be done to you (Matthew 9:29, NIV.)
A recent study showed that 90% of people believe in the power of prayer. People typically pray over their food, their kids, or they ask God for wisdom, strength and health. But oftentimes, people pray what I call "get by" prayers. They pray, "God, help me get by this year. God, help me endure this sickness. God, keep my child out of trouble." There's nothing wrong with that, but don't limit what God can do. If you ask small, you're going to receive small. But when you learn the Word, your faith grows, your confidence grows, and you'll learn to pray bold prayers that honor God!
Instead of praying, "God, help me pay my bills," pray, "God, help me pay my bills and have plenty left over so I can be a blessing to someone else." Instead of praying, "God, keep my child out of trouble," pray, "God, let my child become a leader and fulfill his destiny." Instead of praying, "God, help me endure this sickness," pray a bold prayer, "Father, I want to thank You that I'm coming through this sickness better off than I was before!" As you continue studying His Word, your faith will grow. You will know Him more, and you'll be empowered by your union with Him to pray bold prayers and see those prayers come to pass!
You will fall in love with someone who annoys you, whose orgasm face looks and feels pathetic. Despite all of this, there's something keeping you drawn to them, something that makes you want to protect them from the harsh world. What you fail to realize, however, is that you are the harsh world. You aren't their noble protector — you are someone to be protected from but it takes a lot of dates, a lot of nights where you question whether or not you are actually a good person, for this to ever resonate with you. When it's over and whatever love is left is put back in the fridge like a sad plate of leftovers, you will finally understand that you have the power to hurt someone. You can either hurt them or love them and it's up to you to decide what kind of role you would like to take on in future relationships. What feels more comfortable — being the one who loves more or being the one who's loved less?
You will fall in love with someone who's cold and always seemingly pushing you away. When all is said and done, they will be forever known as the one person you couldn't get to love you. Unfortunately, it will hurt and sting worse than the good ones, the ones that chopped up your meat for you and picked out an eyelash from your eye and were nice to your mother, because love often feels like a game we need to win. And when we lose, when we realize we couldn't get what we ultimately desired from a person, it makes us feel like a failure and erases all the memories of those who loved us in the past. It's a permanent smudge on your love resume.You will fall in love with someone for one night and one night only. They'll come to you when you need them and be gone in the morning when you don't. At first, this will make you feel empty and you'll try to convince yourself that you could've loved this person for longer than a night, but you can't. Some people are just meant to make cameo appearances, some are destined to be a pithy footnote. That's okay though. Not every person we love has to stick around. Sometimes it's better to leave while you're still ahead. Sometimes it's better to leave before you get unloved.
You will fall in love with the old couple down the street because to you they represent the impossible: a stable, long-lasting love. You're trying to get someone to like you for more than ten minutes. A monogamous "never get sick of ya" love seems unfathomable. "What's your secret, sir? Do you just say yes a lot?"You will fall in love with smells, the good and the bad kind. You will want to wear your lovers shirt because it makes you feel close to them and you're okay with being that PSYCHO who is legitimately sniffing their shirt in public. You will fall in love with sweat, certain perfumes, the smell of the season in which you fell in love. This particular love smells like fall. It smells like Halloween and a roaring fire and leaves and fog and mist and candy and food and family and whiskey and sex and the lint that collects on sweaters. When it ends, if it ends, you will never experience another fall without thinking of him, her, it. The memories will stick to the ground like a mound of leaves and will only dissipate when the weather drops.
You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes you feel less vulnerable. Sometimes our families can't love us all the time. Sometimes we're born into families who don't know how to love us properly. They do as much as they can but the rest is up to our friends. They can love you all the time, without judgement. At least the good ones can.This is where I'm supposed to tell you that you will fall in love with The One, a person who isn't too cold or too nice. Their "O" face is perfectly fine and they're not afraid to show how much they love you. This person is supposed to wait for us at the end of the twentysomething road as some kind of reward for all the heartache and loneliness. We deserve them. We've earned this kind of love.
So fine. You're going to fall in love with The One. You're going to fall in love with someone who will make sense beyond college or a job or a particular season. They'll make sense forever and won't ever want to leave you behind. I'm telling you this not because it's true but because it NEEDS to be true. Everyone is entitled to this kind of love, so why not? Have it. It's yours. Blow out the candles on your 30th birthday, holding their hand, and let out an exhale that's been waiting for ten years. Do it. Now

We all go through disappointments, setbacks and things we don't understand. Maybe you prayed for a loved one, but they didn't get well. Or maybe you worked hard for a promotion, but you didn't get it. You stood in faith for a relationship, but it didn't work out. One of the best things you can do is release it and let it go. If you go around dwelling on it, wondering why this didn't work out, why my loved one didn't get healed, why I didn't get that promotion, all that's going to do is lead to bitterness, resentment and self-pity. Before long you'll be blaming others, yourself, and maybe even God.
You may not have understood it. It may not have been fair. But when you release it, it's an act of your faith. You're saying, "God, I trust You; I know You're in control. And even though it didn't work out my way, You said that all things are going to work together for my good. So I believe You still have something good in my future." Proverbs 20:24 says, "Since the Lord is directing our steps, why do we try to figure out everything that happens along the way?" God has you in the palm of His hand. He is directing you every step of the way. That disappointment may not have been fair, but it's all a part of your divine destiny. If you will let it go and move forward, then you're going to come into something awesome that God is about to do; not ordinary like you had planned, but extraordinary like God has planned.
because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.

- Some fruits and veggies produce a gas called ethylene as they ripen. This gas can prematurely ripen foods that are sensitive to it, so keep ethylene-producing foods away from ethylene-sensitive foods. Avocados, bananas, cantaloupes, kiwis, mangoes, nectarines, pears, plums, and tomatoes, for example, should be stored in a different place than your apples, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, and watermelon. Get a longer list of fruits to store separately here.
- Keep potatoes, onions, and tomatoes in a cool, dry place, but not in the fridge. The cold will ruin their flavor.
- Store unripe fruits and veggies like pears, peaches, plums, kiwis, mangoes, apricots, avocados, melons, and bananas on the counter. Once they're ripe, move them to the fridge. Banana peels will turn dark brown, but it won't affect the flesh.
- Store salad greens and fresh herbs in bags filled with a little air and sealed tightly.
- Citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes, will do fine for up to a week in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, but you can lengthen their lives by storing them in the fridge in a mesh or perforated plastic bag.
Keep reading for more tips and tricks for keeping produce fresh.
- Wrap celery in aluminum foil and store it in the veggie bin in the fridge.
- Other types of produce such as carrots, lettuce, and broccoli start to spoil as soon as they're picked, so place these in separate plastic baggies in the crisper in your fridgeASAP (make sure they're dry since moisture speeds up spoiling).
- Cut the leafy tops of your pineapple off and store your pineapple upside down. This helps redistribute sugars that sink to the bottom during shipping and also helps it keep longer.
- Avoid washing berries until right before you're ready to eat them. Wetness encourages mold growth.
- If you like to wash, dry, and cut your fruits and veggies all at once, store them in covered glass containers lined in paper towels. You'll not only be able to see them — which reminds you to eat them — but you'll also be keeping moisture out.
- If you normally forget to use up fruits and veggies if you put them in the crisper, store your veggies in plain sight in Evert-Fresh or reusable produce bags that mimic your crisper's function.
- Buy only what you need. Go to the market more frequently, or if that's not possible, plan out your meals ahead of time so you only buy what you know you'll use.
- If you notice any rotten produce, compost it immediately before it starts to spoil the rest of the produce.
Almonds: a study show that people who ate one serving of almonds per day eliminated more pounds than those who consumed heavy carbs
Oats: it's high in fiber, so it helps keep the feeling of satiety throughout the day. Just half a cup of oatmeal has 4.6 grams of resistant starch healthy carbohydrate that stimulates metabolism and burns fat
Chickpeas: 1/2 cup has 2 grams of resistant starch. It's is also a great source of fiber, protein and healthy fats
Blueberries: famous for its anti-aging effects, a cup of blueberries (blueberry) has only 80 calories. The fruit also help keep the body satiated for a longer time with the intake of 4 g of fiber
Broccoli: cooked or raw, this vegetable is known to prevent cancer. A serving of broccoli has only 30 calories and even help combat excess weight
Brown Rice: a half-cup portion contains 1.7 g of resistant starch, carbohydrate that stimulates healthy metabolism to burn fat. Moreover, it has low density and provides enough energy, ie it satisfies even with fewer calories
Pear: a portion of this fruit can provide up to 15% of the recommended daily amount of fiber. One study found that women who ate three pears a day consumed fewer calories and lost more weight. Do not peel the fruit as it is the shell that contains lots of fiber
Lentil: it is a great source of protein and fiber. Therefore, helps provide satiety. Half a cup of lentils gives 3.4 g resistant starch, carbohydrate healthy, which stimulates fat metabolism
Grapefruit: even if don't chang anything in your diet, eat half a grapefruit before each meal can help you lose up to a pound a week! The fruit contains a substance that can decrease insulin, a hormone that helps store fat. It is also a good source of protein, as has about 90% water in its composition

Diet Treatments Questionable for Autism
Approximately 20 percent of autistic children are on a gluten- and/or casein-free diet to treat a digestive problem referred to as "leaky gut" or "autistic enterocolitis," in hopes it will lessen their pain and abate their symptoms.
Vivian Manning-Schaffel: But, according to a recent Pediatrics report discovered by the Orlando Sentinel's Moms at Work blog, an expert panel has found: "There's no rigorous evidence that digestive problems are more common in children with autism compared to other children, or that special diets work, contrary to claims by celebrities and vaccine naysayers." The study goes on to say, after 25 medical expert panelists gathered in Boston to review research, the existence of leaky gut "has not been established."
The article says: "Painful digestive problems can trigger problem behavior in children with autism and should be treated medically." It says more research is required to establish an autistic predisposition toward digestive problems, and confirm if these diets really work on some kids.
The post provides a response from Lee Grossman, president of the Autism Society: "I think we still have a lot to learn about the gut and how it contributes to behavioral symptoms."
It would be so amazing if something as simple as a modified diet could help children with autism. Actress Jenny McCarthy is a huge advocate of this modified diet. She wrote Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism, about her autistic son Evan and how this modified diet helped him. She also established Generation Rescue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a biomedical treatment for autism.
What about you guys? Have any of you seen or heard of these diets working?
We'd love to hear your story!
|Vivian Manning-Schaffel has written for Babble, Parenting, The Advocate, The New York Post, Business Week and a variety of other publications and lives and works in the heart of breeder Brooklyn with her husband and two kids. She authors two pop culture blogs: The Mad Mom and A Hag Supreme, and is on the web at vivianmanningschaffel.com.
Let me help you fine-tune so then again, here is my effortless solution to that conundrum.
Hey, I've been visiting your web site for weeks now and I always find a gem in your new posts. Thanks for the share. Thank You For This Post, put it in my favorites. Thanks again for taking the time to put this online. I definitely loved every bit of it.

Each week, TSN.ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Mitch Ward and Ben Fisher discuss three hot fantasy football topics.
1) Who is the better fantasy quarterback, Michael Vick or Nick Foles?
Cullen: Right now, it sure seems like it's Nick Foles. Vick provides too much of a roller coaster ride, from a 400-yard passing game in Week Two, to completing fewer than 50% of his passes over the next three weeks. Foles doesn't present the same kind of running threat, and it's why he doesn't have a ceiling as high as Vick, but Foles' floor ought to be better and when it comes to fantasy, the last thing a team can afford is to get a dud week from the quarterback.
Ward: Tough call. It all depends on who is going to play. Foles is getting the start this week but who knows once Michael Vick is 100 percent recovered from his hamstring injury. There are arguments to be made for both as a starter, but personally if Vick is healthy I think he is the starter. His running ability fits in with Chip Kelly's style and allows the Eagles to use their whole offensive playbook. A healthy Vick's versatility give him the edge in my eyes because there is always the threat of a monster fantasy day. If he isn't healthy enough to run though, the edge goes to Foles.
Fisher: This is a tough one to answer because Vick and Foles each have red flag. Vick's is that he's injury prone while Foles' is inexperience, you don't know if Week 6 was an aberration or a sign of things to come. When Vick is healthy, his average fantasy stats put him in the Top 3 among quarterbacks. Despite his stellar debut, that is something I think Foles is unlikely to maintain. I would pick Vick and roll the dice with a waiver wire pickup on weeks he's injured. The real answer of course comes in who the Eagles go with as starter in real football.
2) With a number of rookie receivers breaking out lately, which one will finish the year with the most fantasy points?
Cullen: Four rookie receivers -- DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Kenbrell Thompkins and Terrance Williams -- have more than 300 yards receiving, so those are the leading contenders (Robert Woods at 274 yards could be in the mix, too) and, from that group, I like Allen the best. He has a prolific quarterback, Philip Rivers, whose game appears to have been resurrected this season and Allen is the best wide receiver option on his team, thanks to Malcom Floyd and Danario Alexander suffering season-ending injuries.
Hopkins might be the most gifted of the group, but he's still behind Andre Johnson in the Texans' pecking order and the quarterback play in Houston has been shaky to say the least. Thompkins is turning into a big-play threat for Tom Brady, but is competing with Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman and fellow rookie Aaron Dobson for targets. Williams has been a big-play threat for the Cowboys, particularly when Miles Austin was out of the lineup, but it remains to be seen how much he will get the ball now that Austin is healthy. For a team that already has Dez Bryant and Jason Witten commanding a lot of attention in the passing game, Williams may need another Austin injury if he's going to finish among the rookie leaders.
Ward: Keenan Allen in San Diego. Philip Rivers is playing very well and has developed some really good chemistry with the 76th overall pick out of Cal. With Malcolm Floyd on IR, the door is open for Allen to seize the Charger's No. 1 receiver job and he's doing just that. Allen has a real chance to make plays and put up good numbers week in and week out. He's your best rookie receiver for fantasy purposes going forward this season ahead of first rounders like Tavon Austin and DeAndre Hopkins.
Fisher: Keenan Allen wouldn't have been the answer a couple of weeks ago, but he might be now. The guy has had a monstrous past two weeks, averaging 7.5 catches, more than 100 yards, and a touchdown. The third-rounder started the year slow, but now that he appears a fixture in the surprising solid San Diego offence, he's a must-own. He might not be able to keep up the 100-yards receiving pace, but should continue to see double-digit targets the rest of the way. Kenbrell Thompkins is still leads all rookie wideouts in points, but Allen is catching up fast.
3) Is Joseph Fauria a one-week wonder, or worth a flyer moving forward?
Cullen: Until Fauria starts getting more targets, he has to be considered a one-week wonder. There are reasons that he scored three touchdowns against Cleveland, not least of which is his size mismatch with Browns defensive backs around the goalline, but Fauria has a total of seven catches in six games, five of which have gone for touchdowns. Until the Lions make him part of the offence somewhere other than the goalline or red zone, Fauria isn't worth owning in fantasy leagues. Now, if that three touchdown game sparks some ideas for the Lions brass and suddenly Fauria is a more significant part of the offence, sure, then he's worth the upside play.
Ward: He's probably worth a flyer in deep leagues because he has proven himself to be a legitimate red zone target for Matthew Stafford. He is the definition of a boom or bust play though with his numbers being so heavily dependent on touchdowns. He either scores a touchdown or puts up a bagel. If you're looking for any kind of consistency, Fauria is not your guy.
Fisher: Fauria has played in three games and caught at least one touchdown pass in all of them on his just nine targets and seven catches. But even after his incredible three target, three TD performance last week the undrafted rookie still isn't a viable option in fantasy. He's strictly a red zone specialist so if he doesn't score you'll get next to no points out of him. And the healthier Calvin Johnson gets, the less opportunity Fauria will have in the end zone, not to mention defences keying on him after his big day. With Fauria doing so much damage with so little opportunity, I'd love to see the Lions bust him out a little more often moving forward.

"Federal prosecutors announced on Tuesday that they have filed the first criminal charges related to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, accusing a former company engineer of destroying evidence by deleting text messages documenting the amount of oil that was leaking from the stricken well."
This is all well and good, but obstruction of justice isn't enough. Let's consider that Schlumberger evacuated their team off the Deepwater rig about 12 hours before it exploded. Schlumberger is sort of the gold standard in oil services, and though they didn't say so publicly, I have it on good authority that they deemed the well to be unsafe and took their crew out of harm's way when BP wouldn't shut it down. So where are the charges for criminal negligence? I'm sure a subpoena would uncover some kind of documentation from Schlumberger about the stability of the well. Certainly they wanted to cover their asses, and certainly BP ignored their concerns and instead hired the slash and burn services of Halliburton. Let's not forget that people died out there.

"BP said Friday that Cameron International, one of its contractors in the oil well that burst last year in the Gulf of Mexico, had agreed to pay $250 million to settle claims related to the ensuing spill…BP had already agreed to similar settlements with Anadarko Petroleum and a unit of Mitsui Oil Exploration, MOEX, which had stakes in the well, and Weatherford International, which made a part of the well. Those settlements totaled about $5.1 billion…The company had set aside about $41 billion to cover all costs related to the oil spill, including a $20 billion compensation fund. It said Friday it had already paid out about $7.5 billion to local businesses and individuals."
Hey remember that oil spill that spewed into the Gulf for a solid 5 months last year? Don't worry, BP is settling up damage claims with their contractors. As for paying the damages they owe…moving a bit more slowly.

Skullcandy's Mick Fanning was on hand to encourage the groms and sign a few autographs, too. "The kids these days are next level," said Fanning. "I remember I was stoked if I could do a cutback, back in the day. Now they're doing air reverses and all kinds of stuff. So it's great to see, and it definitely keeps everyone on their toes.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Jackson man has been indicted on charges that he allegedly stole more than $9 million from his bankrupt business.
William "Butch" Dickson faces charges in U.S. District Court.
Authorities allege that after Community Home Financial Services filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Dickson wired nearly $9.1 million from the mortgage company's accounts, mostly to a bank in Panama.
Court papers say the bankruptcy trustee in charge of protecting funds for the mortgage company's creditors demanded the 58-year-old Dickson return the money but he didn't comply.
It's unclear whether Dickson has a lawyer.
The U.S. attorney's office says he was expelled from Panama on March 12 and arrested on his return to the United States.
Dickson is jailed in Mississippi without bond. A court date hasn't been set.
