Category:Communications Grid
From Networked Advocacy
Definition: Networks survive on the strength of one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many conversations and exchanges. Tools like the website, profiles, listserv, email, online meetings, phone conferences, one-on-one, focus groups, conferences and cultural processes cement ties between the group.
Conversations in progress: 1. How can gauge the strength of network communications? 2. How can we strengthen communications? 3. What does this look like in the 'real world'? Share stories and examples by adding 'articles' below. add your thoughts and reflections below...
Feeling out network communications: what to explore and ask
- What listservs do the members use? Who's on what listserv? Do people send and receive relevant and useful information?
- How frequently do network members meet in person? How? How useful are these meetings?
- Do network members use Skype or other instant messaging?
- How often do network members call eachother?
- What other kinds of communication do members use? Phone calls, IM, broadcast emails, radio, etc.?
- How many people have adopted critical communications tools? Both internally and externally. How many conversations happen online vs. offline?
- Do network members knows which forms of communication are favored by others in the network?
- Can network members find IDs/contact info for others in the network?
- Which media sources do network members read? most popular? Do they listen to the same sources? Can everyone equally access the same sources?
- Do network members have the political or functional ability to contact everyone else within the network? For example, can an intern email a mid- or senior-level staffperson?
- How often do individuals talk with others, get information from others, offer help to others, discuss new ideas with others? (Cross 147)
- How many NGO partners or coalitions belong to the network?
- Are the 'right' people involved in the network and/or communicating?
Building your network communications: what you can do
- Find out which listservs are used by network members. Orchestrate existing or create new listservs to more effectively and efficiently serve the community.
- Articulate any communications norms or expectations, for example around listservs and meetings. This includes building communications systems that don't overwhelm network members (for example, explain the 'digest' feature of listservs). Create rules about how to categorize or send/not send information through shared communications channels. Consider if/who should moderate these channels.
- Feel out who network members need to communicate with to do their work more efficiently. Feel out any related obstacles. Is a key network member consistently slow on email, or resistant to instant messaging? What strategies or interventions can overcome those challenges?
- Review which media sources are favored by network members. Are their gaps?
- Consider establishing an Intranet to facilitate intra-office communication and sharing. Or tools like Google Docs.
- Collect and share/post contact information - email, Skype, etc.
- Devise places or systems for informing new network members on how to tap into network members - accomplished in part through communications protocol and contact information lists.
- Remember, successful communications are based on strong social relationships. Foster social ties between network members.
- Video conferencing
- Consider systems for helping network members in different time zones or with different access to resources to stay connected.
- Leaders model effective communications, including adoption of web-based tools.
- Blogging field trip: A group of four to six colleagues from diverse backgrounds would be selected to participate in a trip that would be organized around fact-finding or documenting a current foreign policy issue. A group blog with built-in photo galleries and other multimedia tools would be set-up for them to document the trip. Each day the participants would post at least one story about their experiences and at least * Infuse money into ramping up network member websites. Many websites of smaller advocacy groups in particular contain only partial information about the organization, are out of date, don't include current reports and other content, and don't allow supporters to engage, support, or get involved. Work with selected organizations to develop new structure and approach to their web sites. Modern web-publishing platforms will allow easy updating of content for organization staff as well as the flexibility to add new resources and tools over time. More interactive web sites will help to energize and engage current and potential supporters.
- Providing tailored support to a defined network of groups collaboratively and providing a common set of tools
- conferences, retreats

Construction Task Force
Mazda Motor Manufacturing de Mexico S.A. de C.V.(MMMdM) is a joint venture production company that has recently begun operations in Mexico. As a good corporate citizen, MMMdM has been actively working to protect nature, in cooperation with local governments and environmental protection agencies.
To proactively protect the precious tree, mesquite
MMMdM works to proactively protect the mesquite, which is slow-growing plant and has been designated by Mexico, as a precious tree.
Prior to constructing a plant in Mexico, MMMdM conducted surveys regarding the locations and number of mesquite trees growing within the premises, to keep these trees as they were to the greatest possible extent. Of these trees, old trees recommended to be replanted were moved to appropriate areas (at the front of the main gate, for example) for protection.
To protect water resources nearby MMMdM
Since, in manufacturing process, MMMdM will use subsurface water, which is managed by the national government as an important resource, the company creates rainwater keeping pits to make effective use of rainwater, as one of the subsurface water supply sources in the natural environmental conservation. This system helps not only to keep water resource by assisting rainwater circulation, but also to regenerate the wastelands and to promote natural conservation (greening). In addition, this pit making results in social contribution by creating jobs.
Rainwater keeping pits were formulated in 30,000 locations in a mountainous region of 100 ha in the natural environmental conservation region as a river-head area.
To protect the natural environment through appropriate management of earth and sand
In line with the soil management scheme called "Material Bank," MMMdM excavates and relocates earth and sand in an appropriate manner, thereby contributing to the protection of the natural environment.
To construct its factory in Mexico, MMMdM developed farmland to prepare the factory site, under the concept "soil should not be brought in and out of the site." The excavated soil was used to build the foundations of the factory building, and fertile soil was relocated to the area around the boundary of the site, to create a hill displaying the bounty of nature.
Seita Kanai, Mazda's Representative Director and Executive Vice President (current Vice Chairman), has been appointed the Honorary Consul of the United Mexican States in Hiroshima. At the inauguration ceremony held in September 2012 in Hiroshima City, Mr. Claude Heller, the Ambassador of the United Mexican States to Japan, representing the Government of Mexico, presented Kanai with a letter of appointment. Upon Kanai's appointment to the role, the Honorary Consulate of the United Mexican States in Hiroshima was established at Mazda headquarters (Fuchu-cho, Aki-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture).
The Consulate works to support activities of cultural and economic exchange between Mexico and the Consulate's area of jurisdiction, which encompasses the Hiroshima, Yamaguchi and Shimane prefectures of Japan.

Bison Ribeye Kebabs
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Cindy Barr
The ribeye cut of bison is surprisingly lean, and it yields tender results when grilled. Bison has a deeper, richer flavor than beef, and it stands up well to the piney rosemary. You can serve these kebabs with whole-wheat pita bread and a romaine salad to round out your meal.

Retail investors often flock to two very different asset classes to reach their retirement goals. Two common investments seem to be real estate and publicly-traded stocks. Let's look at these two different asset classes to compare their pros and cons.
Investing in Real Estate
Real estate has a few advantages that makes it attractive for individual investors:
- Leverage – Real estate is an investment that performs best when leveraged. As an individual investor, real estate can be levered 5:1 with a traditional loan with 20% down. Enterprising investors who can make use of FHA lending programs can borrow with only 3.5% down to purchase a live-in four-plex, offering far more leverage to the investor.
- Cash flow – Real estate is all about cash flow. Unlike dividend stocks, which might yield 3-4% at the most, real estate brings impressive cash-on-cash returns to the investor. Depreciation tax benefits are most beneficial to investors in a high tax bracket, seeing as property is depreciated over 27.5 years, which creates a tax shield for high-income individuals.
- Control – Real estate investors have much more control over their investment than an investor in a public company. Whereas you have full control to set rental prices, make new investments, and select tenants, minority owners of public companies have very little control over the day to day decisions to be made in publicly-traded companies.
Real estate also has disadvantages:
- Time – You can't passively invest in real estate like you might stocks. Real estate investing requires time and energy to find good properties and tenants. Investing in real estate is much more like running a business than investing in stocks.
- Operating leverage – The effects of real estate spill directly into your personal finances. Each dollar you borrow to buy real estate is a dollar of debt for which you, as an individual, are 100% responsible to repay. Furthermore, if rental units go without tenants, you have to cover the cost of debt service and maintenance out of your own pocket.
Investing in the Stock Market
The stock market has its own upsides, as well:
- Less active – It is significantly easier to be a passive stock investor as the day to day operations of the businesses you invest in are handled by someone else.
- More liquid – It's much easier to sell $100,000 in stock than it is to sell a $100,000 home. The stock market is far more liquid of a market, making it a better investment for people who will need to make principle withdrawals in the future to cover living costs or immediate cash needs.
- No credit needed – There are plenty of companies on the stock market that are just as leveraged as your average real estate investor. However, these companies borrow on their own balance sheets, meaning that the investor isn't required to carry debt themselves. When you buy into a public company you are not liable for losses should it go bankrupt. The same can't be said of an individual investment in real estate.
Of course, the stock market isn't perfect, either:
- It's all correlated – In the short-term, stocks move up and down with each other. The real estate market moves very differently, and home prices do not follow the ups and downs of the stock market on a day-to-day basis.
- You have no control – Unless you own 51% of a public company, or can persuade 51% of stockholders to agree with you, you have little to no impact on how a company performs or what it does going forward. This is very different from real estate, where the cash goes directly to the individual for reinvestment or deployment elsewhere. Shareholders are at the mercy of executives to make decisions that favor shareholder interests. No one stands in the way of a real estate investor who owns his or her own properties.
Real Estate vs. Stocks: The Biggest Factor
All in all, the biggest difference between real estate and stocks isn't in the returns, the leverage, or even the correlation. I think the biggest difference is the amount of time you'll need to invest in either one.
As a real estate investor, you are a business owner who has to set prices, deal with customers, and hire employees (contractors when necessary) to take care of your inventory (homes.) As an investor in the public stock markets, your only requirement is capital – you won't have to listen to customers, hire workers, or manage your own business. You're just a partner in a much bigger entity when you own stock in a company.
Are there any investors out there who invest in stocks and real estate? What's the biggest difference between the two that you see?

The Vanishing Hand: the Changing Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism
AbstractAlfred Chandler's portrayal of the managerial revolution of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries does not extend well into the late twentieth century, when widespread vertical disintegration began replacing the classical multi-unit managerial enterprise. This paper attempts to explain the new economy in a manner consistent with Chandler by providing an enlarged theoretical account of industrial evolution. In this account, clusters of Chandlerian firms appeared as a temporary episode within a larger Smithian process of the division of labor. Copyright 2003, Oxford University Press.

The Opel brand has been fairly big in Europe, despite its financial troubles. That being said, the nameplate isn't that well known outside of continental Europe. That might soon change.
General Motors hopes to use the brand's brilliant product lineup to attack consumers in China, South America, and Australia, according to Deutsche Welle in Germany. GM hopes to establish Opel as a premium brand.
Last year, the automaker sold 4,000 vehicles in China, as part of its preparation efforts for expansion into the country. The brand will be marketed as a European premium brand, as there are more and more people who can afford such a vehicle in China.
It should be interesting to see what becomes of Buick in China, as they were usually just Opels with a new badge. As we all know, Buick is very popular there, so GM needs to be careful not to hurt that market.

Ryan McRae Hickman, 38, of 917 22nd 1/2 Ave., Rock Island, remained in the Rock Island County Jail on Thursday night on a $100,000 bond. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled on Jan. 2. According to police, Rock Island County Sheriff's deputies stopped a vehicle driven by Mr. Hickman shortly before 1 a.m. Thursday in the 2200 block of 9th Street in Rock Island. He was issued tickets for driving without using the required lights and driving on a suspended or revoked license. Charges indicate he allegedly also was found to have drugs and eight rounds of .38 caliber ammunition, which was illegal because of his prior felony conviction in 2010 for promoting a dog fight in Rock Island County. Mr. Hickman was arrested shortly after the traffic stop.If convicted of the cocaine possession, a Class 1 felony, he faces a mandatory sentence of four to 15 years in prison.

This is THICK and spreadable and delicious! No added sugar or pectin or nasties - couldn't be better! and it keeps for ages in the fridge (I've had mine open for a month and it's still fresh!)
Taste is amazing! Sweet thick and buttery!

I love this! It's been years since I tried apple butter and found this by chance. I had the Montmorency cherry butter and it was very tart, sour and hard to eat. But this is the perfect combination, it's heavenly. I love it. My only problem is I have no idea how to eat this. I have no crackers that are worthy of this rich sweetness, so I just eat it a tip of a teaspoon at a time.

I've not tasted Apple Butter for many years. This is our first purchase of this tasty and delicious fruit in a jar. That is exactly what it is, fruit in a jar, nothing more. The great apple butter, plus tart cherry is a delight to say the least. I plan to use it for toast, over desserts and even by the spoonful. Glad we tried this fantastic fruit in a jar. And it is even better, because it is Organic!
Perfection absolute

This spread is just the greatest. It has a very soft, slightly sour taste. I don't like sweet jams very much and this is just right, Plus it is organic! Great value!
I'm not a jam/jelly person overall....

Sevcik v. Sandoval
What's Happening:
On September 8, 2014, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in this Nevada case seeking the freedom to marry. The case is fully briefed.
On February 10, Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto filed a motion requesting to withdraw her brief, in which she had argued in favor of banning same-sex couples from marrying, but in her withdrawal, she explained, "After thorough analysis and review, the arguments grounded upon equal protection and due process are no longer sustainable." The decision was sparked by a January 21 ruling in a separate case in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals finding that gay people could not be excluded from juries because of their sexuality. Essentially, the case found that sexual orientation is a class protected by heightened scrutiny - and legal prognosticators had explained immediately following the ruling that it could dramatically alter the Sevcik v. Sandoval case.
Case Background:
On April 10, 2012, the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund filed a federal lawsuit seeking the freedom to marry for eight same-sex couples in Nevada who had been denied marriage licenses. Shortly after, a U.S. District Court judge for the District of Nevada agreed to hear the case, permitting the so-called Coalition for the Protection of Marriage to intervene as a defendant.
On November 29, 2012, Judge Robert C. Jones ruled against Nevada's same-sex couples, saying that the state's current laws do not violate the Equal Protection Clause. Just days later, on December 3, 2012, Lambda Legal appealed the case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

the touch of your lips
it warms my heart, body, and soul
leaves me craving more
Shall I compare thee
to a summer day? Thou art
as great as the sun.
Where should I go now?
cold lonely desolate blind
I'm lost without you.
The days of which passes by -
Those without you by my side
makes me feel very lonely.
acid minds
acid dreams
clouded thoughts
darkened themes
murky water
in between
none could run
or could have seen
what was to come
what could have been
a fire burns from within
what was a small flame
catches energy with time
it erupts until it overwhelmes
its crispness beckons your response
it's been too long.
feel the warmth spreading from its embers,
sweeping through your body as if it was a porous sponge
a great force filling every crevice, every void
back and forth, in and out, back and forth
over and over and over
spreading through the expanses, to the very tips of your fingers and toes
and even then it's not enough
it seeks out the parts of you that exists only in your deepest thoughts
illuminating your darkest secrets
your most forbidden desires
with your help, it unlocks the doors that you keep even from yourself
exposing you to yourself. and it.
when you've had your fill
it whispers in your ear its goodbye
and promises to meet again
that slippery, sinking feeling,
when those around you and all that encompasses your life begins to feel out of reach, out of your control
you feel like a minute, insignificant existence to the world
you think, if I were to cease to exist, the world will still continue to go on as it does.
I am but one lonely human standing here on the side of the road, amidst the clattering of women's heels as they walk by, amidst the vibrations of the gutters filled with residual rain from last night's storm, amidst the whispering of the artificial urban winds created by the cars as they speed by, driven by individuals too busy with their social agendas and occupational reputations to notice anything worth living for in life
how has life come to be as it is now?
how have I come to be as I am now?
how do I not be like THEM?

An hour of sometimes emotional public testimony was the order of Tuesday's night's meeting of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School Board.
Many of those who attended the meeting are being directly affected by possible cuts aimed at balancing the much publicized and tenuous school budget.
School Superintendent Pete Lewis says "no stone is being left unturned," and that includes increasing class size, something he calls a definite possibility.
On a number of occasions, school board and staff argued about what could be done to make changes.
The school board has until May 22 to approve and adopt the 2013–2014 school budget.
Two more meetings, including one on May 6th are scheduled to continue working on possible options.
During the meeting, Lewis said "As President (Kristina) Brophy mentioned, we face difficult decisions. And based on that number that we received Saturday night, late, we put together a budget proposal to try to bring the budget into balance so that you would have time for consideration for that. As you know, we are scheduled to adopt the budget on May 22nd. But we still have much work to do between now and then, in terms of what will ultimately be the local contribution, and also what will our budget be, and what will we decide to include or not include in the budget."

For all those who think that lifting weights and doing crossfit can make you look like a man. Camille Leblanc-Bazinet just won the title of fittest woman on earth at the 2014 CrossFit Games and she so darn cute I can't stand it.
This badass lady has been added to my heroes list!

Top 20 Things Men Should Know About Female Powerlifters
"As a person who didn't feel confident before I started lifting, the stronger I got outside, the stronger and more confident I felt inside in everything I did as a mom, wife, and employer. We lift and continue to lift for ourselves. Even though we compete with each other, we love to help other women feel empowered as well. We love to be intense when we lift, but we may celebrate like a girl when we dominate the weight. Contrary to what some people think, we love being women and we aren't lifting to be a guy."
This particular quote resonates with me greatly. I have gained such confidence since lifting weight both through CrossFit and through powerlifting.
What I particularly like about this article, however, is the framework around it. It is written by a guy who is flabbergasted by the way that women are treated in the powerlifting world, but who is intelligent enough to know that his flabbergastitude merely scratches the surface of understanding the problem. So, what does he do? Interviews a bunch of female powerlifters (like Julia Ladewski above) and gets the answers right from the badass' mouth. Slow genuine clap for this guy.

Barbell Apparel is a company that "believes that jeans should meet your performance needs. Barbell Jeans are made to move with you not against you. It's denim that moves how you move."
I can totally get on board with this. Jeans I can squat in? Jeans that fit? Sign me up!
They have a Kickstarter where you can donate to the cause (and learn more about their product) that I recommend checking out. I'm not a sales person for them, just a girl with meaty thighs and booty that'd like to be comfortable in jeans more often.
If they get enough support, they're also looking into creating "making functional, classy, and comfortable dress shirts, slacks, blazers, socks, and chinos."
Can I get a hellz yeah?

I wrote this blog 26 months ago at the beginning of my adventures in CrossFit. Then I Tumbler'd about it 12 months ago. I am 2 and a half years into a life adventure that I hope continues for many many more years.
As mentioned in my original blog, I was painfully skinny as a teenager. I was a dancer taking 2-3 classes a week. Acting/dancing/singing in plays multiple times a year and singing in a show choir. I also played field hockey but was terrible at it. I repeat: TERRIBLE. I've never had an easy time with sports with bats/sticks and balls/pucks that also involve running/skating. I was able to be graceful when dancing, but add all those elements together and I was a mess. So I kind of gave up on sports. I also ate my weight in food and was hungry all of the time. And in all of the pictures of me (including the top left above), I appeared to be disappearing. And my smallness translated into my personality. I was a bit of a chameleon, shifting personas depending on the company, saying what I thought people wanted to hear instead of what I actually thought. I was often pretty shy and truly think that that shyness was perceived as aloofness a lot of the time. It wasn't, though. I just didn't think I was interesting enough to be an outgoing person. The only time I was truly outgoing was when I was on stage playing someone else.
When I got to college, I met a solid group of people that were a lot more my speed. I opened up a lot more and made some friends that I still cherish today. I was still small, but my personality bloomed a little, so I didn't mind as much. I decided that I could be "cute" and that I was okay with that. I began defining myself by my cuteness. I never felt sexy or womanly, just cute. I figured it wasn't possible for me to be those things because I was a smaller person.
My move into true adulthood and, coincidentally, to Chicago taught me a lot about myself. I became more solidified in who I was. I starting eating the cooking of my fabulous boyfriend (now husband) and gained weight. And it freaked me out. I don't think I was aware of it, but I battled to get back to previous weights so that I looked smaller. I didn't think I could still be cute and be curvier. I was confused and unhappy and honestly really ridiculous about it. Looking back I wish I had just rejoiced in my ability to gain weight and be a more substantial presence physically. Instead, I whiled away my time on elliptical machines and lifted tiny pink weights trying to get back to what I thought was an acceptable weight.
When I wrote that blog 2+ years ago, I was incredibly excited about my new adventure in CrossFit. I had found a sport/lifestyle that I wasn't terrible at. And in the time since then, I've become excited about gaining weight and muscle. I've learned that I can still be cute and weigh more. I have decided that I like my body better when it is muscular. There's a lot of rubbish out there about how lifting weights making you look like a dude or unwomanly. For me, that is total horseshit. I feel sexy now. I feel womanly. And the fact that I can almost deadlift 250 lbs? Just icing on cake. I also know that it has made me much more confident. I know who I am and what I want. I don't define myself by the people around me, but strive to find people who appreciate me for me. I'm strong, sexy, cute, womanly and, finally, myself. CrossFit and weightlifting have brought me that.
More of this adventure, please.
Something amazing is happening around the world! The eyes of women (and men) are being opened to the elephant in the room when it comes to women and their body shape, ability and strength…
A yup! Thanks for finding this, Mariah!

I have read more articles than I can count about the benefits of weightlifting for women and almost every single one has some iteration of the following phrase:
Lifting heavy weights will not make you bulky.
And you know what? They're kind of lying to you. I know….*GASP*!
The seemingly hard truth is that lifting weights will change your body. You will not be the "delicate" flower you once were. You will not look like your other, non-lifting lady friends or the models in the magazines. But I wouldn't say "bulky."
Let's take a look at the word bulky, shall we? Here's the definition I found:
1. taking up much space, typically inconveniently; large and unwieldy.
"a bulky piece of luggage"synonyms:large, big, huge, sizable, substantial, massive;king-size, outsize, oversized, considerable,voluminous;cumbersome, unmanageable, unwieldy, ponderous,heavy, weighty;hefty, burly, blocky, sturdy, heavily built;informaljumbo, whopping, hulking, humongous, ginormous"bulky items"
The word bulky is obviously a negative one. I mean, just look at some of those synonyms: unmanagable, unwieldy. Can we stop using this word please? Because being bigger, stronger, more physically capable is NOT A BAD THING. It's different to be those things as a woman, sure. But it's also transcending what we've always been told we have to be. And that's okay! In fact, that's great!
So here are some words we should be using instead:
These things are the truth. "Bulky" is for luggage, for objects. "Strong," "mighty," "athletic," "unyielding," and "beautiful" are for kick ass ladies.
CrossFit women don't look like toothpicks because this workout isn't about how we look. Itâ's about who we are, and that looks different.
"For me, [CrossFit is] a place where I don't have to hide that I want to be powerful, strong, a superhero. It's also a place where I don't have to hide the generous circumference of my thighs."
Source: Fit Nation Magazine.
I couldn't have articulated this better myself. I 100% deal with the same struggle except I have, luckily, never had to deal with an eating disorder. I can't even imagine how that would compound this duplicity of being a strong, meaty lady but still expecting/hoping to see the petite one of yore. And, yes barbellsandsuch, I believe that more of us need to be talking about this. Let us all talk about this.
I've been struggling the past month with feeling "bulky". It goes along with my history of eating disorders. So I did what I do. I stopped eating and I started running. Long slow runs. I stepped on the scale the other day and in a month I'm 6 lbs down. During a strength/hypertrofi cycle.I don't even know what to say other then that I'm not feeling too great about all of this. I don't care about the weight, I care about that I had this reaction. And I'm sorta stunned that I didn't realize what I was doing.
This whole "lifting wont make you bigger" thing is crap. If you're a small girl, It does, it changes your body composition. If you start a lifting/cf regime because you're overweight it's probably different. But if you're a skinnyass yoga girl you'll get bigger. You'll also get stronger and faster but yeah bigger.
Why are we not talking about what it's like to go from 115lbs to 127lbs in just a few months? How all of a sudden where there used to be a thigh gap theres now muscle. How all that lifting will make you crave foods you haven't eaten for years. How you'll be hungry all the freaking time. As in getting up to eat during the night hungry. And what about those obliques and lats who are all of a sudden sticking out at awkward angles. Why are we not talking about what this does to you emotionally in a society where the normative female body is extremely slim?
Don't get me wrong. Most days I love these changes. I look like I workout, which I do and that makes sense. I know that every single muscle is a testament to my dedication to live a long and happy life. But then there's those days when I'm off balance for some reason. And someone makes a comment. And I can't brush it off. Like when I bend over in my bikini and my girlfriends go "DAMN what have you done to your back" or when my dude friends jokingly tell me "I really need to stop lifting" because I'm getting big/make them look bad or when I see pictures of my pre CrossFit self in cute dresses and skinny jeans. Which honestly just don't look as good on me anymore since it's clothes made for stick thin. And I look better in other stuff and yes my back is muscular and no I shouldn't lift less you should lift more. But some days those comments just stick.
And they make me sad, and they make me want to stop doing something I love and go back to training that made me miserable but kept me thin. I don't think it's just me who struggle with this. But some times I feel so alone. I feel like there's no natural forum for airing these thoughts. Outside of the fitness community we have the slim norm and inside it a hypertrofi one. What about the inbetween people? What about those of us who love lifting but still struggle with the norms of the "outside world"? The fitness community needs to start recognising that there is a difficult cultural crash happening between the box and the outside world when it comes to female body image. And all of us; we need to start talking about this. Because even tho I feel alone I'm very sure I'm not.
Elisabeth Akinwale, CrossFit extraordinaire, on the subject of beautiful, muscular thighs and how they make "thigh gaps" silly silly things.
But, even if you're not fat, if you're a woman, you're probably still so caught up with your toxic weight shit that you can't even see straight. During my working life I can't tell you how many times I've been part of these ridiculous workplace group diets. Almost all of the participants have been women. Sometimes they even try to bribe one another with money. They all put in ten dollars on the first week and whoever loses the most wins the pool at the end of 4 months, or whatever it is. Look, I'm like you. I've done it too. And at a perfectly normal, healthy weight I've done it. All because of a sick, shitful, ugly little voice in the back of my head that tells me I ought to be smaller.
And that's the rub, right there. Exactly why do we want to be smaller? What exactly is the appeal of being smaller? How does it benefit us? Does it make us better mothers? Better students? Better lovers? Better artists? Scientists? Friends? Does it make us more badass badasses?
No, no, no, no, no. You must see that it doesn't. It doesn't do anything but make us smaller.
Babies and puppies are small. So are dimes and Skittles. You're a fucking woman. A woman! You are entitled to occupy as much fucking space as you like with your awesomeness, and you better be suspicious as fuck of anybody who tells you differently.
Why, ladies? Why must we continue to whittle ourselves down? Who is it for? What is it for? You can walk through a certain aisle at the pharmacy or at the grocery store and see the language of diminishment all over the packaging for weight loss aids of all kinds. "Shrink your waist." "Lose inches off your thighs." "Slim down." "Get skinny."
How about "Grow your mind." "Increase your confidence and productivity." "Beef up your knowledge." "Enlarge your scope of asskicking."
That's a valid message for women and girls: grow, expand, branch out, open up, get bigger, wider, faster, stronger, better, smarter. Go up not down. Get strong, not skinny.
You are not here to get smaller. You are not here to have a thin waist and thighs. You are not here to disappear. You're here to change the world! Change the fucking world, then! Forget about "losing a few pounds." Think about what you could be gaining instead.

Prepare for the clean deliciousness that is this blog by Vanessa Barajas from San Diego, CA. She's a CrossFitter and says "You gotta eat clean if you wanna train dirty." I couldn't agree more.
I, personally, have trouble eating strict paleo, but I do try to eat cleanly whenever possible. That said, humans need delicious comfort food and desserts now and again. This is a great place to find some recipes!

Finding Inspiration in Everyday Life
We are told that we are in this world for a purpose, yet it often doesn't feel that way. Days are filled with a certain amount of boring and trivial work assignments, homework, chores, obligations. It is out of these that inspiration comes that helps us get through the rest of the day. The key is finding those moments of inspiration that come from ordinary, everyday things.
Just around the corner, .the next exhilarating inspiration is about to happen, and it can arise from the simplest of circumstances. It could be the exciting news that arrived in the mail that a high school senior has been accepted to the college of his choice, a new grandchild has been born, a neighbor's son has arrived home after being away at war.
These happenings are not just inspiration but are the keys by which we unlock our storehouse of past experiences, our hopes, our fears, and our beliefs. One by one let's examine how each of the above brings forth inspiration:
A high school senior gets accepted to the college of his choice. He is on cloud nine for a few minutes, and then reaches for the telephone to tell his friends. This awakening from the usual humdrum of school life inspires him to write an exceptional speech for the school's graduation ceremony.
A first grandchild is born. The grandmother is inspired is inspired to fight her fear of flying and calls right away for reservations. She is so excited she absolutely cannot wait to hold her grandson in her arms. On the plane she whiles away her time knitting him a pair of bootees and before she knows it, she has landed and without even one thought of fear.
The next door neighbor who has arrived back home after being away for several years is good news indeed. After listening to him tell of the good that he and fellow soldiers did despite one bitter disappointment after another, his enthusiasm for his past efforts at bringing forth world peace inspires his neighbor to get involved in putting together a welcoming committee for those arriving home from such fearful situations.
These daily inspirations do not have to involve us personally, but they can be affidavits of the spirit that alert you to the goodness of life. These are necessary to keep us plodding along doing the routine. They cement our beliefs in the goodness of life, that it definitely does have purpose and there is reason for hope despite fears of the unknown.
Try something new today. Try looking at each and every item you touch differently. Notice the colors. Are they dark or light? Does it affect your mood by making you happy, sad, angry, or comforted? Think about the texture of everything you touch. Is it smooth, rough, hard, or soft? How does that affect your mood? What adjective can you give the things you touch? Afraid to try something new? Why not make the first step? Then another, and another. Writ down goals and celebrate each one that you achieve.
Look at a sunrise, enjoy the smell and taste of breakfast. Allow yourself to feel…really feel. I know it sounds a little hokey, but we have become so calloused going through life that we have forgotten how to appreciate the small things that we surround ourselves with every day. Once you allow yourself to let the wall down, take a deep breath, and feel the things that are around you life will seem to blossom before your very eyes as a flower in the spring.
Listen to music and just think. Sometimes music has a way of getting to your deepest emotions and makes opening up to new experiences easier. Perhaps a lyric strikes a chord with you or a certain beat gives you confidence. Music works in mysterious ways, so listen to whatever makes you escape, helps you get to the heart of a matter, or basically just relaxes you. Inspiration may be just around the corner from that melody.
If you look at things differently if only for a few moments, by the end of the day you will have a new appreciation for the things around you. The things you live around will begin to inspire you. You will begin to see the miracle of this world.
For another example, when was the last time you really looked at someone. I'm not talking about giving them a quick glance and walking on. I am talking about really looking at them. Who are they under the skin and bone, fingernails and hair? What makes them tick? What do their eyes say about them? Are they a happy person or someone who always complains? If they are a complainer, what is it in their life that makes them so unhappy? Make a mental note of it and work to be a source of inspiration to everyone you meet in some small way.
These are all things that are supposed to inspire us. This is the world around us. We have taken so many things for granted that life just seems to come automatically and go just as quickly. Take a closer look with a deeper vision of the things around you.
Let them inspire you to be kind to the people around you, be appreciative of the miracles that both God and man have created. Life is so precious and we are here for such a short time that we can't afford to waste a minute of it. We need to all step back as humanity and let these things give us inspiration for our own lives and to also inspire others.

Hallstead Sanitary Service and owners charged with illegally disposing septic waste at local farm, business property
Jennings Birtch
David Birtch
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today announced two Susquehanna County men have been arrested and charged with the illegal dumping and storage of sewage sludge on a farm property in Lenox Township and at their business property in Hallstead.
Attorney General Kane identified the defendants as David Alan Birtch, 52, 22878 State Route 11, Hallstead and Jennings B. Birtch III, 54, 20338 State Route 11, New Milford. Criminal charges also were filed against Hallstead Sanitary Services Inc, 22878 State Route 11, Hallstead.
According to criminal complaints, David Birtch and Jennings Birtch illegally dumped or deposited sewage sludge into an onsite manure pit at Fallon Farm in Lenox Township. DNA testing of a sample from the manure pit determined the presence of human waste.
In addition, septic waste was allegedly stored and disposed of illegally at the Hallstead business property. Agents executing a search warrant at that location on Sept. 18, 2013 encountered an underground impoundment for the illegal storage of septic waste. Agents observed seepage from the impoundment into Salt Lick Creek, which borders the Hallstead property. A sample of the creek water near the seepage indicated elevated levels of E. coli.
Agents also observed a lagoon known as "Black Lake," which was full of septic waste and also tested positive for human DNA.
David Birtch, Jennings Birtch and Hallstead Sanitary Service are charged with : two counts of unlawful conduct for illegal dumping; two counts of unlawful conduct for illegal disposal; one count of prohibition against discharge of sewage; one count of sewage discharge; one count of unlawful conduct for the illegal storage/processing/disposal of sewage; and one count of pollution of waters.
David Birtch and Jennings Birtch were preliminarily arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Jodi Cordner and released on their own recognizance.
The Office of Attorney General's Environmental Crimes Section conducted a criminal investigation based on a referral by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The case will be prosecuted in Susquehanna County by Senior Deputy Attorney General Brian Coffey of the Attorney General's Environmental Crimes Section.
Attorney General Kane thanked the DEP for their assistance with the investigation.
(A person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.)

Zinc Climbs to Highest in Almost 16 Months as Stockpiles Shrink
June 19 (Bloomberg) -- Zinc rose to the highest in almost 16 months in London on concern that production will fail to keep up with demand amid supply curbs and shrinking inventories.
Stockpiles tracked by the London Metal Exchange have dropped 28 percent this year to the lowest since December 2010. Tokyo-based Toho Zinc Co. said last month it will cut output of semi-processed ore at its Australian mines. Supply of the refined metal trailed demand in the first four months of 2014, the International Lead and Zinc Study Group said this week.
"We've had commodity funds starting to take interest in the metal," Bart Melek, the head of commodity strategy at TD Securities in Toronto, said in a telephone interview. "People are looking at above-ground inventories and they're looking at exchange inventories and concluding that we could be seeing significantly higher prices."
Zinc for delivery in three months climbed 0.8 percent to settle at $2,153 a metric ton at 5:50 p.m. on the LME, and touched $2,161, the highest since Feb. 20, 2013. The commodity gained for a fifth session, the longest rally since Feb. 28.
Prices also rose after the Federal Reserve said yesterday it expects to keep interest rates close to zero for a "considerable time." In China, the world's largest consumer of industrial metals, Premier Li Keqiang pledged in a London speech to meet the nation's target for economic expansion.
"The view from Fed, and positive statements from Li Keqiang in London, have steadied markets," RBC Capital Markets LLC said in a note.
Stocks of zinc contracted for a ninth session, to 674,375 tons, according to daily LME data. Inventories have climbed only once since April 2.
Copper for delivery in three months added 0.2 percent to $6,725 a ton ($3.05 a pound) on the LME. In New York, copper futures for delivery in September rose 0.5 percent to $3.0755 a pound on the Comex.
Aluminum and lead rose on the LME. Nickel declined while tin was unchanged.

The Indonesian outreach visit continues; photos from our third day there.
See more pictures here: day 1 and day 2.
Aloha President Greenwood,
I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am to have attained my University of Hawai'i at Mānoa degree with Honors in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution from such a highly acclaimed hands on university! I was involved as an APEC intern under Dr. Konan's guidance and learned more during that experience than I would have going to Harvard or Yale!
My company Ease Collection sent over a donation of close to 200 masks for the Asia Pacific Disaster Risk Reduction & Resiliency (APDR3) conference in Indonesia. It is because of my ongoing relationships with Dr. Konan, Dr. Soetoro-Ng and APDR3 member Chris Chiesa that Ease Collection and Dr. Denyse Ray were compelled to make this donation. Maya shared with me that the masks were well received.
Please visit my BlogSpot entry regarding this gift and other areas of philanthropy that Ease Collection is committed to at:
I am very fortunate and humbled to bring together my motto "Seeking Worldwide Peace Through Giving" and fashion in a career as a Global Fashion Ambassador…all because of my UH-Mānoa experiences!

CLARKSVILLE, IN (WAVE) - Clarksville and St. Matthews police are teaming to capture a couple they believe is behind nearly 50 car break-ins since late January in southern Indiana and Louisville.
Detective Darrell Rayborn said they are looking for Jose Garcia and Robin Anderson, from Scottsburg, Indiana.
The couple is believed to be driving a red Neon and breaking into people's cars.
"We had a break in of a car at the fitness center here in Clarksville. It happened to be an off duty LMPD police officer, his wife's car." That fitness center was LAC in Clarksville.
Detective Rayborn said the couple broke into the victim's car, took her wallet and used her credit cards at the Home Depot located across the street.
The Jeffersonville police department already had surveillance photos of the couple.
Police believe they may be in the Scottsburg area. If you have any information about their whereabouts you're asked to call police.

Their accomplished careers are unique but, in many ways, not all that different.
Vince Parnell and Joe Russo, both involved in the high school athletic scene for the greater part of the last 40 years, have each followed a career arc that has taken them from coaching to athletic administration — leaving an imprint on their respective schools and sports programs every step of the way.
So, as they retire from their positions as athletics and activities managers following the school year, it seems only fitting that the two of them are going out together.
The timing simply felt right.
"There's never a perfect time … I think at the end of the day it's just a feeling more than anything else," said Parnell, who has been the AAM at Wilde Lake since the position was created in 2006. "Naturally, when you do something for such a long period of time, there becomes a feeling of been there and done that … eventually it becomes someone else's turn."
And, as Russo adds with a chuckle, there are other areas that need tending to.
"As Vince can probably attest, it's time to give the golf game a little extra attention," said Russo, who has been at Hammond in a coaching or athletic administrator capacity since the school opened in 1976. "I can say after 43 years that I think it's time to move on to something else."
Both Parnell and Russo are among the county's original crop of AAMs.
The position, developed to allow athletic directors to be full-time administrators instead of having to also split time in the classroom, was a big step forward for the county, according to Parnell.
"It finally gave you the time to be able to do the job the way it was supposed to be done," he said. "Before that, they gave athletic directors one planning period and that was it. It was just too much … you were always cramped for time."
Parnell speaks from experience, having juggled teaching, coaching and athletic director duties at Howard High School for more than 20 years prior to his move into full-time administration at Wilde Lake with the creation of the new position.
Getting the chance to be around athletics — Parnell's passion from a very young age — was always worth the sacrifices, though.
Growing up, Parnell was a football standout at his high school in Pennsylvania before going on to play at Williamsburg College. Shortly after graduation, in 1974, he took a job at South Carroll and served as freshman basketball and JV football coach for the next four years.
After that, he made the move to Howard High School and took over the Lions' girls varsity basketball and JV football coaching positions. Shortly after, he moved up to varsity football.
"Football was always where the heart was," Parnell said.
In the fall of 1981, Parnell was presented with the chance to become Howard's athletic director with the departure of Ned Sparks to work on the state level. "I was never looking to become an AD … it wasn't on my bucket list or anything. But at the same time it was an opportunity I didn't feel like I could pass up," he said.
Parnell grew into the leadership position and continued coaching, primarily football but also helping out here and there with the wrestling program, as a track assistant and later as a golf coach.
Leading Howard's football team in 1999, helping that squad make it all the way to the state semifinals, and those early years coaching girls basketball for the Lions are among his top memories. But overall Parnell says it's the people, citing specifically a great professional relationship with Howard principal Mary Day, who will stick with him.
He had great leaders growing up and he tried to emulate that.
"I basically tried to do what was done for me in high school," Parnell said. "Without my coaches and my teachers, I wouldn't be who am I today … I tried to live up to that."

Had the apartment to myself tonight, so decided to do a little hookup marathon, one guy after the other :3
4 in all.
Just a few clips with a guy. Enjoy :)
Ask me anything pt 21
Tell us the story behind that picture …
It was many years ago in Sweden. There was this one guy who used to boss me around, and the thing he was most into was public exposure. He would make me do things like flash my ass for him in public or be naked when I was in his car. He even made me upload naughty photos to my QX profile (Swedish dating site) for a while, making me give him my login information so he could control what photos were on there. It was all very exciting :p It's always a turn on for me when guys don't really care about what I want or don't want, and this guy was really without mercy hehe. The photo is from one time when we were walking near a beach. He pulled me into the bushes and made me suck him off there.
Do you consider yourself grown up?
I'm terrible at being a grown up.
Do you Skype or Kik?
I have Skype, but my old rabbit cut the cord so my webcam isn't working (i got a new one, but it was worthless). I deleted kick because I never used it, and I kept getting spam.
Do you still get a lot of questions?
Sure. And I love it ;) It's pretty much the only feedback I get on here, so it's very much appreciated.
so how can i meet you? not for sex or anything, just because you seem cool :)
Send me an email I guess. No promises though ;) firstname.lastname@example.com
I saw your clone in brussels yesterday :-D
Maybe it was me! (no it wasn't)
Are u off xtube I can't find ur vids…
Search for "ludicolo"
Will you ever re-upload the gangbang videos? Or is there some other way to view them? You have the nicest ass I've ever seen btw .
They are back up now. X-tube replied to my email and everything is fine. I don't know what they were reported for.
do you like kissing?
For sure, if you're a good kisser. I love making out with a hot guy.
Do you have any sexy pics on a guy Cumming on your ass or on your sexy hole 😏😏😏😋😋
Enjoy! http://malemotion.com/video/cum-on-ass.15k0
Why do you often jerk off while getting fucked? Can't you just relax and focus on your hole?
Because it feels so good!
Do you remember being fucked by rogerkint on xtube? How was it?
It was great! That week in London was insane…
sprichst du deutsch?
Nein :)
Why no updates? :(
That's just the way it is around here. Sometimes I'm more active, sometimes less ;)
My mouth waters every time I see your hole on that first picture of your dudesnude profile and I'm short of licking the screen …
Good! ;)
Would you consider yourself a slut?
Yes! lol That's not the only side of me though.
After reading your Tumblr, I decided to try shaving underwater. I have reeeaaaally sensitive skin, and it worked great! No razor burn at all! Thanks, and I love the way you give head!
I just wanted to say the first gay video I ever saw was one if yours on your old channel and I've been a fan ever since. Keep doing what your doing 😘
heyy, i have been always have a thing for you!!! you are the type of boy that i would fuck without thinking it twice ps: i have you on fb, but i'm too shy to message you on there jajaja x)
Do it! No use adding my Facebook unless I know you fairly well though. I prefer to keep it more private there.
Depending on your sexual experience what race fuck better ? Also can tell us what the top 3 nationalities you think they are good fuckers.
Uh, I don't know. I don't think I've noticed any patterns with nationalities.
have you ever been to the burning man event?
Do you get turned on watching yourself get fucked, or is it more the exhibitionist side of being filmed for others to watch you? Do you ever fuck in public? Would be hot to watch a vid of you getting slammed in a public place.
I don't get turned on by watching myself, but I get horny remembering how hot that fuck was. And yes, I agree!
Pule deg i rompa?
Jaaaa :) Hehe.
do you mind fucked by sereral big dicks in a public place and watched by somebody else?
That's exciting! Only if the watchers are into it though. I don't get off on exposing myself to people who have no desire to see that.
Do you have a personal limit to how big you'll take dicks? Like, do you prefer to stay pretty tight?
Na ;) I stay away from fisting though, for that reason.
Hey, I know you prefer being a bottom but I want you to fuck me. I have a tight Parisian asian hole for you ;)
Prove it! firstname.lastname@example.com
What is your favourite song at the moment? Do you have any music suggestions :>
Röyksopp feat. Robyn - Do It Again
Here's something for all you butts who have been antsy for a new video. It's me and a French guy I see from time to time.
If you can't get it to work, go look it up on xtube. I'm ludicolo there :)
hey look, it's me :)
(via skinnyfaggots)
Anonymous asked: hey, what happened to your gangbang videos on xtube?
They were all reported for violation of Terms of Service. I sent an email to xtube asking what that's about, but I don't really expect them to reply. It's just a porn site after all.
An old clip with a fuckbuddy in Stockholm
It's my birthday today, so here you have a video of me and a big black cock :3
Here you are, the final part of my little gang bang. Enjoy ;P
Wooo weee here's part 2 of me getting passed around by a bunch of guys :)
Ask me anything pt. 20 - Gangbang edition
Great video! Did the camera man take turns as well?
Thanks! The camera man is the one you see in the beginning ;)
were those guys asians?
Nope! There were a couple, but they canceled.
Howdy, do you remember for long you and your friend from the "Cum in my bum" video fucked for? It's pretty amazing <3
Thanks <3 I'm not sure. A couple of hours maybe?
Imagine a dominant guy would force you to wear a pair of the same socks instead of two different ones … in public …
Haha. Now you go too far…
This isn't really a question, just a compliment really. I'm mostly a bottom but watching your vids makes me want to top you so hard. So very hot! :) If only you lived in the United States.
We can't all live in America ;)
did the 8 guys fuck you bare?
No. We went through a lot of condoms :p
Aww, I love you're Instagram pics. I'd love to wake up next to you ;-)
Hehe thanks ;)
was it a gang bang? did they all fuck you or did they fuck whith each other as well?
I was the only bottom. It's been a fantasy of mine forever, so that's how it was set up.
What is there hidden behind your private password at dudesnude? Is there anything worth seeing that you don't already show somewhere else?
I think everything is on this tumblr.
Any plans to travel?
No plans currently.
Do you understand the whole fuss bout 50 shades? Is there a sex book you like to praise?
I haven't read it, but from what I hear I don't think I would like it much. I don't know any sex books. I'm a (hardcore!) Song of Ice and Fire fan, but that's not all that erotic I suppose.
i love how you always answer my questions! that shows you're a pretty open and awesome guy besides being sexy. thanks! :)
Any chance of more photos in a thong?
I'm not really a huge fan of those. Too girly looking, I think.
What's your favourite colour?
Would you like to have a dominant guy as your boyfriend?
I don't know! It's certainly not a requirement. Sex can be great without the power play too.
Can you be fucked without lube (just spit or even nothing)?
Yeah. It's usually fine in the moment, but then I tend to get a bit sore in the aftermath, which I don't like ;)
That guy with the tiger balm and the ice cubes - did he tell you in advance what he was going to do or did it come as a surprise for you?
I had no idea!
