Trigger warning: this post talks about rape. If you have been raped or have experienced anything with this, I am so sorry. Know that you are valuable and whole and loved. Consider finding others to talk to about this and experience healing. –Michael
I'm glad that I have two sisters, and not three or four. If I had four sisters, one of them would be raped, and I don't know how I would live with that. Statistically speaking, 1 in 4 women either are raped or experience a rape attempt in their lifetime. How can we live with this?
I'm terrified of the fact that I might have a daughter, and one day she might be raped. I could tell her all the right things: I could teach her to be ashamed of her body and to hide it under layers of clothing in the vain hope that someone might not rape her. But that doesn't change the fact that if she walked down the street in a burka she might be raped, because it is not the clothes the victim wears that makes them be raped.
I am petrified when I consider having a son, because he might be raped and no one would believe him. We live in a culture that says men are sex machines: they are creatures always wanting sex, and if a woman gives that to them, it is an ever welcome gift. A man "can't be raped"—they can only have a good time.
I'm afraid of having a son because statistically, he might grow up to be a rapist. I could teach him to treat women right, and I could teach him to be respectful and nice and to be a decent human being, but those very attributes could contribute to him raping someone, because our culture teaches that being a nice guy means that women owe you something. The friend-zone exists because we've come to expect a relationship or sex as a repayment for being a good person. We do all the right things. We hold the door for her, pay for her meals, and drive her around. We invest into her, and then she doesn't return the investment. She doesn't understand that when I'm nice to you, you go out with me. I listen to you and help support you when you go through a break up, and because I was such a nice guy, you are magically obligated to have sex with me. If you don't, you were just using me, even though the exact opposite is the truth.
Welcome to the rape culture. Our society tells women to cover up or they're a slut; watch how you dress and maybe you won't be raped. Politicians drop lines about how you won't get pregnant from a rape because your body shuts it down, and if you get pregnant, you must have wanted it. For every Luke Skywalker who saves the galaxy and is rewarded with a wink, a kiss, and a medal, there is a princess Leia in a bikini chained up to the fat slug that is our society using her to fulfill their sexual desires. One of the most popular songs of the summer could have been written by a rapist, as it describes getting a girl high (which "always works for me") then smacking the girl and pulling her hair while having sex and constantly telling her that "I know you want it".
One of my coworkers had men hitting on her and staring at her while she was working—when she got off work, they were waiting for her in the parking deck. Thankfully she had another person with her, so they ran off. A friend went on a date with someone who tried to physically force her into having sex with him in a parking lot—thank God someone saw what was happening and stopped it. If you talk to them about what happened, it usually gets glossed over because it is an expected part of life. Start talking about rape or assault and if you'll listen, you will hear countless stories like these.
The distressing thing about all of this is if my genitalia went in instead of out, this outpouring of words would be ignored and I would be marginalized. I would be called "emotionally unstable" or a "crazy feminist" for speaking up about the fear that I would have lived with for my entire life and the systems that perpetuate it.
Rape has to be talked about, but we shame those most qualified to speak about it into silence.
Don't speak up. This is the message that we send. We tell wives to talk through these problems this with the husband that rapes them every night because he thinks that when she said "I do" at the altar she was signing her body over to him. He has his "husbandly rights", and they can't be denied.
Girls, you should talk about this with your boyfriend–he could help protect you from a rapist. He'll provide the muscle that will keep other men at bay as you walk down the street in the middle of the night and be the voice of reason reminding you "don't go down the alleyway", forgetting that it is ingrained in you from the time you were a child to avoid those alleyways because you might be raped if you go down them. We'll ignore the fact that the same muscle that holds other men at bay gives him the strength to hold you down as he violates you.
He's such a nice boy—you kind of have to go on at least one date with him… He puts so many little deposits into that favor bank. When you've had a little too much to drink and he offers to take you home—he makes another deposit. When you, inhibited by the alcohol coursing through your veins, are unable to verbalize or resist his advances—he cashes in his 'IOUs' and has sex.
Go home to your fathers and ask them to explain sex to you some more; except maybe he didn't give you a sex talk, he just had sex with you.
'She didn't say no', so it wasn't rape. No! She wasn't in control of herself and didn't say yes, so it was rape.
Men, stop complaining about the free sex already—are you gay or something? Every guy wants sex. So stop being a wimp and get some!
I'm glad I have two sisters and not anymore, because that's one less set of ears that has to hear this filth being spewed in every aspect of our culture.
I wish that I could say I've never been part of this system, but I have. I've looked down on the girls who dated around while not thinking twice about my friend who dated more girls than the "easy" girls ever kissed. I've advocated for the patriarchal ways of blaming the girl for the man lusting: I "couldn't help it" when I saw those girls dressed like they were and acting like they did, so I lusted after them and used them to fulfill my sexual fantasies. A rapist is one who used another sexually without their consent…what does that say about me?
Please don't take this as someone talking down to you: this is a guilty soul screaming NO MORE!
Did you know that you are more likely to be raped by someone you know than a stranger? What do you do when it's your family or a family friend raping you? Who do you turn to–who will listen? This is one of the reasons most rape victims talk about how they were ignored by those who claimed to love them when they named who raped them. The men and women who are raped are often blamed for the atrocities done to them instead of comforted.
This has to change. We cannot continue to go on like this. Women have to live their lives with the constant threat of being sexually assaulted in the back of their heads. It dictates where they go, when they go there, and how they dress. Victims who overcome the social shame of being raped and speak up about it are marginalized and gagged. I have the luxury of being able to ignore these facts and the privilege of being able to live without this fear, but they don't. I can't—no, I refuse—to ignore the rape culture we live in anymore. Can you?
Keep it civil in the comments. If you disagree with some of the specifics I've talked about, that's fine–I'd like to talk about that with you. However, if anyone speaks against those who have been hurt or attempts to marginalize them, that is not acceptable. Speak to build up, support, and love—not tear down and wound. If you'd like to talk about any of this in private, my email (firstname.lastname@example.com) is open to you; I'd love to listen and talk. –Michael Subscribe to get my weekly posts sent to you.

Fusing the motoring style of Alpinestars with Fatlace's street sense, the Shibuya adopts the best from both worlds to create an inaugural sneaker release from the Apex Initiative campaign.

One of the main features Intel was promoting at the launch of Haswell was TSX – Transactional Synchronization eXtensions. In our analysis, Johan explains that TSX enables the CPU to process a series of traditionally locked instructions on a dataset in a multithreaded environment without locks, allowing each core to potentially violate each other's shared data. If the series of instructions is computed without this violation, the code passes through at a quicker rate – if an invalid overwrite happens, the code is aborted and takes the locked route instead. All a developer has to do is link in a TSX library and mark the start and end parts of the code. News coming from Intel's briefings in Portland last week boil down to an...

The Nebraska Department of Labor announced Friday the preliminary unemployment rate for July was 4.2 percent, slightly higher than the June rate of 4.0 and 0.2 percentage points above July 2012.
"There continues to be a high number of new entrants in the labor force looking for work, which has outpaced the July demand for workers," says Commissioner of Labor Catherine D. Lang.
The national rate dropped two-tenths of a point last month to 7.4 percent from 7.6 percent in June.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012 annual average rankings places Lincoln as the metropolitan area with the second lowest unemployment rate (3.5 percent) and Omaha with the 11th lowest rate (4.4 percent) among 372 metro areas.

WASHINGTON – Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) CEO Dan Glickman and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) CEO Mitch Bainwol today joined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Assistant Secretary John Morton, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer and other federal officials from the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center to announce the recent results from a nationwide federal law enforcement crackdown on counterfeit products.
The enforcement action, codenamed Operation Holiday Hoax, focused on illegal vendors throughout several major U.S. cities and netted seven arrests and 79,796 counterfeit CDs and 79,610 DVDs.
The operation was hosted by the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, an ICE-managed task force serving as the federal government's central point of contact in the fight against counterfeiters and trademark violators. The IPR Center is comprised of officials from various federal agencies such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Departments of Justice and Commerce, Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The tremendous amount of illegal material seized served as a reminder to consumers to be on the lookout for substandard products during the holiday shopping season. Industry officials offered the following tips to help holiday shoppers avoid illegal goods and get the real thing:
• Remember the Adage "You Get What You Pay For": Even if you are hoping to get your favorite movies or albums at a discount, new or used, extremely low prices might indicate illegal product.
• Watch for Titles that are "Too New to be True": Movies that have yet to be released in theatres, or which are still out in theatres, should/will not be available in the DVD format. If very recent titles are being sold on the streets or through an auction or other online retail sites, they are most likely illegal.
• Watch for Compilations that are "Too Good to Be True": Many counterfeiters make "dream compilation" CDs, comprised of songs by numerous artists on different record labels who would not likely appear on the same legitimate album together.
• Read the Label: If the true name and address of the manufacturer is not shown, it is most likely not legitimate product. These products often do not contain a bar code. In addition, if anywhere on the package it reads that the disc is an "All-Region," "0-Region," or "No Region" product, it's highly likely that the CD or DVD is illegal. Furthermore, if the record label or movie studio listed is a company you've never heard of, that should be another warning sign.
• Look for Suspicious Packaging: Carefully look over the packaging and beware of products that do not look genuine. Packages with misspelled words, blurry graphics, weak or bad color should all raise red flags. Inferior quality print work on the disc surface or slip sleeve cover, as well as the lack of original artwork and/or missing studio or label, publisher, and distributor logos on discs and packaging, are usually clear indicators that the product is pirated. CDs and DVDs with loose or no shrink wrap or cheaply made insert cards, often without liner notes or multiple folds, are probably not legitimate product.
• Watch for Product Being Sold in Unusual Places: CDs and DVDs sold in non-traditional venues, like flea markets or on the street are probably not legitimate.
In addition to tips to avoid being duped by counterfeit product, the RIAA and MPAA offer a wide array of legal, hassle-free services where fans can purchase their favorite movies and music at affordable prices. For a list of these services, please visit www.mpaa.org or www.riaa.com.
"Working together with ICE and the IPR Center, key federal law enforcement agencies and the entertainment industry have struck a real blow to the illegal trafficking of pirated and counterfeit goods during the important holiday season," said Mitch Bainwol, CEO, RIAA. "It's unfortunately an often lucrative 'business' that is the breeding ground for other dangerous criminal activity and it undermines our ability to invest in the new bands of tomorrow. It also takes money directly out of the pocket of working musicians, songwriters and many others who work countless hours to create great music and bring it to the public. We're grateful for the hard work and dedication of ICE agents we worked closely with on this important initiative."
"More than 2.4 million American jobs are supported by the movie and television industry alone. Each of the pirated DVDs shown here today – represents a theft, not just from the motion picture studios, but from the hard earned wages of these men and women working in all 50 states of our union. In these difficult economic times, that is a price our workers, our industry, and indeed, our nation cannot afford. So we applaud the law enforcement agencies here today for their commitment and dedication to our common struggle," said Dan Glickman, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America.
According to a report by the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI), counterfeiting and copyright theft cost the U.S. copyright industries – including the motion picture and sound recording industries – more than $25 billion a year. This translates into nearly 375,000 lost jobs and more than $16 billion in lost annual earnings for American workers.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the trade organization that supports and promotes the creative and financial vitality of the major music companies. Its members comprise the most vibrant record industry in the world. RIAA® members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 85% of all legitimate recorded music produced and sold in the United States.
In support of this mission, the RIAA works to protect the intellectual property and First Amendment rights of artists and music labels; conduct consumer, industry and technical research; and monitor and review state and federal laws, regulations and policies. The RIAA® also certifies Gold®, Platinum®, Multi-Platinum™ and Diamond sales awards as well as Los Premios De Oro y Platino™, an award celebrating Latin music sales.

On November 18, 2010, representatives of the Cincinnati Transgender community and its allies came together at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC) to commemorate Transgender Day of Remembrance. Transgender Day of Remembrance is a global event held in honor of self-identified transgender individuals who lost their lives because of hatred, intolerance and indifference. The event was co-sponsored by the Cincinnati chapter of Human Rights Campaign, a non-profit organization that advocates for equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals, and representation from Greater Cincinnati Comittment, an initiative of the Cincinnatus Association that seeks to make Cincinnati a more tolerant, welcoming community. Cincinnati Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, the keynote speaker for the evening, also brought messages of support from the office of Mayor Mark Mallory.
Rabbi Kenneth E. Ehrlich, Dean of HUC, provided opening remarks that set the tone for the evening, expressing pride that Jewish tradition places great importance on "making room at the table for everybody." Following his remarks, Vice Mayor Qualls offered a message of hope and strength for the LGBT community and its allies, reflecting on the journey that Cincinnati has taken towards embracing diversity and becoming more welcoming to all people. Prayerful meditations, commemorations and silent reflection followed, read aloud by Human Rights Campaign representatives and allies of the transgender community. During the candle-lighting ceremony that followed, in which the memory of those transgender individuals who lost their lives over the previous year was acknowledged, the candlelight's solemn glow was a moving reminder of why Transgender Day of Remembrance is so important to commemorate.
I spoke with a member of Cincinnati's transgender community who provided me with poignant insight into what being transgender means on a day-to-day basis. For those who don't know, a transgender person is someone whose gender self-identification is not the same as the physical sex and the gender assigned to them at birth. Some transgender people choose to express their gender identity through dressing as the opposite gender, whereas some individuals choose to undergo a complete sex-change operation so that their physical sex matches their gender self-identification, with hundreds of variations in between. He suggested imagining the following scenario: "Pick out the ugliest, worst-fitting, most awful outfit you can imagine, including hair and makeup. Wear it for a full day, out in public. At the end of the day," he told me, "take off these clothes and dress in a way that truly expresses who you are, in a way that you love. This ability to feel completely like your true self is a feeling a transgender person rarely has until surgery and other treatments allow that person to feel more and more like who they truly are inside."
The realization that your gender identity and your biological sex do not match can be the beginning of a long and often challenging journey towards becoming who you were meant to be. For those who undergo a sex-change, the resulting physical and emotional stressors can be overwhelming. Many transgender individuals attempt to or successfully commit suicide, or turn to substance abuse at various points throughout the process because of the seemingly insurmountable legal, economic and social hurdles they face. Once the medical and surgical hurdles have been tackled, the legal rights of a transgender person who has a sex-change are still not always guaranteed. In Ohio, for example, a person who changes their sex cannot have their birth certificate changed to reflect it, which will impact his or her ability to marry, raise children and enjoy the same rights and privileges of other Americans. For the individual I spoke with, the ways in which he feels his community has been mistreated by our country's medical and legal systems are only a few of the "1,001 reasons there are to just give up" on going through the process altogether.
The hurdles continue after surgery is over. Losing the right to privacy and the control over how one's identity is perceived by others can be traumatic at best and fatal at worst. Gender identity-based hate-crimes committed against transgender people have often resulted in death but have been under-reported in the media. According to Transgender Day of Remembrance International, "more than one person per month has died due to Transgender-based hate or prejudice, regardless of any other factors in their lives [in the past decade.]"
Transgender Day of Remembrance sought to raise awareness in Cincinnati of all the challenges facing this community today. For those of you out there who may be struggling with the same feelings as many transgender individuals today, my contact who so bravely shared with me his own story of self-realization has some words of encouragement: "Relish every moment of the journey that brings you to yourself, learn to love the person you once hated, be able to honor that person that brought you to your true self, have hope for the future and try and forgive the ignorance, prejudice and bigotry that exists in a world in need of repair." For those out there who may have never met a transgender person, he says, "it is important to educate yourself and get to know members of our community who are human beings just like you." Only by being able to appreciate each other as human beings can we fight the intolerance that transgender men and women face every day and make room for them at our collective table.
Andrea Nadel is a native of Cincinnati who has returned to the Queen City after a four-year hiatus. An alumna of The Ohio State University, Andrea confesses that she has absolutely no enthusiasm for football despite the Buckeyes' best efforts, but she does enjoy travelling, learning foreign languages, following Israeli politics and music, and growing vegetables in her backyard.


text: Exactly most security is about making the risk not worth the reward to people. Commercial fire code creates a weakness for example. There's no reason to create the same weakness if you don't have too though an inswing door isn't that much better. I guess you could install door bolts on the opposite sides as the hinges that go into the floor/ceiling so when someone tries to kick the door open it's solid. Eventually they'll get in but it might add enough trouble to get them to stop and pick another place.--IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES IN MY WORK...Please consider that they are there for a purpose. I try to please everyone and there is always someone looking for mistakes!

Is India ready to tackle swine flu?
With the number of swine flu fatalities in India touching double figures on Tuesday, panic is slowly setting in.Schools, malls and cinema halls in Pune are already shut and nearly a thousand people across India have tested positive for the virus.The H1N1 flu outbreak, declared a pandemic on June 11, has spread around the world since emerging in April and could eventually affect 2 billion people, according to WHO estimates.But is India ready to tackle the outbreak?More supplies of flu drug Tamiflu and testing kits are being imported and private hospitals are being asked to help state-run hospitals cope with a surge in people rushing to get tested.Some also feel that the media hype over swine flu is causing needless fear.On Tuesday, the Hindustan Times said the common flu could be killing an estimated 572 Indians every day, much more than H1N1 flu — in most cases, infection has been mild and patients have fully recovered.So is there really cause for panic?
Writing a novel? Just tweet it
When Matt Stewart's agent submitted his debut novel to publishing houses, he didn't quite get the response he wanted."Many of them loved it, but none were willing to buy what they viewed as a 'risky' novel — vivid language, elements of fantasy and farce, raunchy humor," the San Francisco resident wrote on his website.But Stewart didn't lose heart. On July 14, he started posting "The French Revolution" on Twitter.The novel, about a San Francisco family forging its place in history, is one of the few full-length works of fiction to be released one tweet at a time.Micro-blogging service Twitter and its now famous 140-character tweet limit is being put to uses more profound than just describing what you had for breakfast.Like tweeting a novel.Stewart says it will take him approximately 3,700 tweets to transmit all of the 480,000 characters in his novel."I can get instant feedback from readers, and we can discuss the intricacies of the characters and plot twists as they develop," he says.Stewart is not the only one writing Twiction (or Twitter fiction). There's Jim McCormick who tweeted a novel written by his late wife, Nick Belardes' 'Small Places' and even a Twitter novel in French.And tech writer Rakesh Raman's humanoid protagonist Robojit is leading a mission to the Sand Planet – at the rate of 10 tweets a day.There are also some who tell the entire story in a single tweet.Geoff Meeker, for instance, writes Twisters, or short stories written in 140 characters or less. So do William Brazill and Arjun Basu.If you need help, there are even web pages offering tips on writing a novel on Twitter.And if you are suffering from writer's block, you could always turn to literary classics for inspiration.Videogame designer Ian Bogost and friend Ian McCarthy came up with idea of recreating a chapter from James Joyce's 1922 novel "Ulysses" on Twitter.And Chindu Sreedharan, who teaches journalism at Bournemouth University, is retelling the Hindu epic Mahabharata on Twitter.Of course, Twiction is not perfect.This month, a reader of the Mahabharata Twitter narrative alerted the author after reading a tweet that seemed out of place."I accidentally posted something meant for another Twitter account — and since it had some reference to 'beach' and 'bikini-clad', I had some answering to do," Sreedharan said.But the big question is — will Twiction remain some sort of social media experiment? Will it ever have literary merit?
Is the Chandrayaan project too ambitious?
The Indian Space Research Organisation has said that Chandrayaan-1, the country's first unmanned moon probe, has malfunctioned and its two-year mission may need to be curtailed.The Chandrayaan-1, which cost $79 million, was launched in 2008 to map the moon's surface and look for precious metals.The moon probe's successful launch in October enthused the media and distracted India from an economic slowdown, collapsing stock prices and outbreaks of ethnic and religious violence.In a recent interview, Delhi Metro chief Elattuvalapil Sreedharan told Reuters that the government should concentrate more on building basic infrastructure."The pressure should be more on that rather than going to the moon," Sreedharan said.Do you think the moon probe project was a mistake in a country where millions still survive on less than $2 a day?
Was Michael Jackson greatest entertainer ever?
The music world, the Jackson family and thousands of fans bade farewell to Michael Jackson at a public memorial on Tuesday."The more I think about Michael, and talk about Michael, the more I think that 'King of Pop' is not good enough," said Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, who signed The Jackson 5 in 1968."I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived."Here's your chance to pay your final tributes to Michael Jackson.
Will court ruling on gay sex change perceptions?
The Delhi High Court's ruling that homosexual sex among consenting adults is not a crime is expected to boost an increasingly vocal pro-gay lobby in India that says a British-era law banning gay sex is a violation of human rights.The current law bans "sex against the order of nature", and is widely interpreted to mean homosexual sex in India.The High Court ruling applies to all of India, but can be appealed at the Supreme Court.In a country where gay sex has been a taboo, will the court ruling have any bearing on how conservative Indians view homosexuality?
Partition: A not-so-epic love story
It's unusual for Indian cinemas to screen a 2007 film that has already had its television premiere.
But the stand-off between Bollywood producers and multiplexes has resulted in a slew of otherwise straight-to-DVD films getting a chance at the box-office.
Should Rahul Gandhi join the cabinet?
Prime Minister-elect Manmohan Singh has said he will try and persuade Rahul Gandhi, heir apparent to the Congress party, to take on a cabinet position in the new government.
Gandhi, whose father, grandmother and great grandfather were all prime ministers, had become the most visible campaigner of Congress in the month-long election to win over Indian youth as well as millions of poor villagers.
Is this the end of the road for Advani?
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lal Krishna Advani's prime ministerial ambitions were crushed when the ruling Congress-led coalition defied predictions to sweep the 2009 general election.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's coalition was only about 11 seats short of an outright majority from the 543 seats at stake, according to election commission data.
Jana Gana Mana 'Rann': new-age anthem?
Nearly 60 years after Rabindranath Tagore's composition was adopted as India's national anthem, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma's interpretation of it is raising conservative eyebrows.
Varma uses the tune of 'Jana Gana Mana' and adds to the lyrics, making it a full-fledged song for his film about India's media industry — "Rann".
Congress or BJP – who will win?
With just hours to go before the counting of votes, several exit polls have shown that India's ruling Congress-led coalition is slightly ahead of the BJP-led alliance.
The probable lack of a clear winner has stoked concerns that the coalition that emerges after a month of elections may be unstable.

As people have said it is still closed for renovations (like the rest of Doha!) but its still work a walk to see the camels who live next door and also its right next to the Souq and within a short distance from the Corniche.
construction around the fort, and. The interesting part, was a camel pen beside the fort. About 12 camels being fed and watched by the camel tender. That made our journey to the fort not a complete waste of time.
I've been there and the scene was astonishing we watched baby turtles have a go a swimming for the first time,played in the water, discovered bones of eagles and fish,we went inside the fort and we were told that they were having thoughts on making it cafe, took long walks enjoying the scene it was beautiful.
~11 year old
I love the Port! Serene and calm.. real nice to sit and just be there. The breeze adds to the beauty of it.. and you feel refreshed by just there.
well, Doha and Qatar don't have many historical buildings to offer, so you might want to visit Doha Fort. It's not earth shattering, but it's just next to Souq Waqif (which you MUST visit), actually next to the Souq's parking lot. So just have a look. When we were there, some camels were walking in front of it, which gave...
You can't miss it because of its location, but 2 minutes looking and one photo is enough to put a check mark for this one...
Built during the Turkish occupation in the 19th century, the Doha Fort has been used as a prison and an ethnographic museum. During restoration in the late 1970s, however, many of the original features of the fort were lost. The fort is now being returned to its former glory, as part of the neighbouring Souq Waqif project, and is closed...
Yes when you go visit there is a coral of Camels so the tourists can see the animal up close. It is quite good for the more timid who don't want to go out to the desert.
Unfortunately this was closed for renovations. Was unable to gain access but part of Souq Waqif so not total waste of time.
and it's good to see a bit of the historical monuments they have available. Doha is trying to provide more to do for expats and one of the things is making their (even though few) monuments accessible.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it's pretty clear that a solid majority of fans think that the Colts should have gone for a perfect season, instead of throwing the game against the Jets. Especially Colts fans in Indiana, where 75% voted for a perfect season over resting their players.
I'm not sure why Alaska felt differently, but they're the only state who voted for resting the starters. A Super Bowl win might ease the pain of Colts fans, but I have a feeling they'll always be left with the thought of what could have been. This seems like a no-win for the Colts, at this point.
Sports fans everywhere believe the Colts should try to go for a perfect season

Source Notes: Source: Attributed to President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, by a member or members of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, meeting in executive session at the White House, January 31, 1939.Whitney H. Shepardson and William O. Scroggs, The United States in World Affairs, p. 104 .Reports of this remark caused an outcry by American isolationists and in the German press, while they gave courage to the British and French. Roosevelt vehemently denied the remark, calling it a deliberate lie at his press conference on February 3.The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1939, p. 113 .Representative John A. Martin referred to this in remarks in the House during a discussion of building military airplanes: A controversy has been raging over an alleged private remark of the President that the frontier of America is on the Rhine. Whether he said it or not, the frontier of America has been on the Rhine, and beyond. An American Army has trod the soil of Germany. The American frontier has been on the coasts of Europe, of Africa, and of Asia, when those coasts were vastly more distant from ours than they are today.Congressional Record, February 14, 1939, vol. 84, p. 1394.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 April 12, 1945), 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945), is best known for his leading the U.S. through the Great Depression via his New Deal, his building a powerful political coalition, the New Deal Coalition, that dominated American politics for decades, and for playing a significant role in a grand coalition that defeated Nazi Germany, Italy and the Empire of Japan in World War II and created the United Nations. Born to wealth and privilege, he overcame a crippling illness to place himself at the head of the forces of reform. Universally called FDR, he was both loved and hated in his day, and now is considered by many to be in the top tier of American presidents.

Staff,internet,location near Union Station .
Old furniture,bugs in the room,not the greatest neighborhood
Poor condition property
I enjoyed my time at this hotel and look forward to returning.the staff is nice and the location is great especailly at night.
My shower was cut short due to a problem with the pipes and when i turned it back on a hour or two later brown water ran for a min or two.also the room was neat and clean except for random names scratched into the mirror and headboard.
, room was smelling really bad.i could not sleep. if you dont have to stay that hotel, dont stay. try to find another one. this hotel was disgusting.and at night somebody knocked my door. it was thrilling.
service and affordable price
There is old man Chinese at the reception disk very rude and yeiling at people when asking him and very anxious all the time The other 2 young workers at reception young man and young woman are very nice and helpful
the title says it all
I loved that the rooms were really clean they had a nice tv with cable and a mini fridge that worked and a bathroom that was really clean
Neat, clean, free parking, location
Close to dodger stadium day front desk was good. Rest of staff and property was awful
Location (middle of chinatown, walking distance to downtown and metro). Good value for mony. Good setvice. Free parking.
The rooms are bit crowded. The walls are thin so lots noise from parking lot.
The hotel was nicely appointed nice Chinese style decor. Very basic. Very friendly old man checked me in. Cheerful young man checked me out. Great central location and excellent value. Good internet.
The bathroom could have been cleaned and freshened more thoroughly. Found a hair in the sink. The room itself was clean.
Front desk was impolite. He didn't speak much English and we couldn't understand him. Had a bad experience.
Smelly, poor equipment. Except that everything is okay.
Great value for money motel in downtown LA. Nice tpuch to the motel. Free parking.
Loud airconditioning
coffee was good
the room was small, no carpet, the motel has a bit weird atmosphere (we're Chinese, I've no idea if Americans like it or not)
The price is very cheap but the place is quite clean and comfortable. If you are on backpacking travel or want to save money, this is the right choice.
Location, price, privacy, day manager very polite and cool. Nite manager so/so.
Night manager demanding,and rude, at least to me.
My son was sick and requested late check-out, but was refused.
the old man at the front desk was a little ill mannered
This was in a perfect location for my specific needs, and it was a good location as a base for sightseeing all over LA. The free parking was very convenient. The room was clean and spacious and met my needs very well - really liked having a refrigerator in the room! I also very much appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee. Most of all, the staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. One young man even helped me plot a course for sightseeing and made recommendations for places to eat and things to see and do. I would definitely stay at Royal Pagoda again, and would recommend it to others looking for a well-kept facility, convenient location, and good value for the price.
I didn't find anything objectionable about this motel at all. It met all of my needs, especially for the price, and the location was very convenient for me.
Location, big rooms and clean
There was a group of people in their early twenties having a party in a room. They were going outside the rooms, yelling, slamming the doors, drinking alcohol in the hallway and with the music very loud and the motel management was unable to do anything. I had to face five guys twice to tell them to shut up at almost 3 am. I couldn't sleep at all. The following day I asked for a complaint form and they didn't give any.
Just location
Olny front desk lady was nice to us, asked us need ice and hot water,
First of all, if you book this place,I will say there's too noisy in the night, you can't sleep. Second, there's too hot in the room, even you turn on the air condition. And also the room has a lot of peculiar smell! The last one is the biggest problem! There has bedbugs, my parents and I had been bitten! Terrible !
The morning staff were fantastic. Friendly, helpful directed ne to THE bakery I was looking for out the many and great suggestions for food.
The night gentleman was a bit loud, rude, in a hurry and disrespectful to someone on the phone with two guests (I was one) standing at the counter. And not helpful with my questions. Total Night and Day difference.

Feminist Icons Admit to Prank
Posted by The Curator on Wed Jan 04, 2006
Status: Confession of a prank Back in 1970 a picture was taken showing four young women waving placards with messages such as "Ban the Man" and "Down with Men and Marriage." The picture became a symbol of feminism. But thirty-five years later, the women have confessed that their anti-man protest was just a prank. Margot Ducat explains: "One day my colleagues - Jo Vincent, Sue James and Shirley Francis - found a wedding dress stuffed in one of the cupboards. Quite why someone left it there we never did find out. Anyway, Shirley tried it on and it was a perfect fit, so we just decided to do something to liven up Surbiton…

Plymouth Rock Pieces on eBay
Posted by The Curator on Mon Nov 28, 2005
Status: Scam According to legend, Plymouth Rock was the first thing the pilgrims set foot upon when they landed in Massachusetts. I think that the rock itself is now on display in Plymouth. But United Press International reports that pieces of the Rock are popping up on eBay where they're fetching as much as $900. The catch is that there's absolutely no way to verify that these really are pieces of the original Plymouth Rock. A lot of people did carve off chunks of Plymouth Rock during the 18th and 19th centuries, but there's no way to differentiate a real piece of Plymouth Rock from a fake piece.

Black League Basketball
Posted by The Curator on Wed Nov 16, 2005
Status: Never Existed Remember the Black Basketball League? Its teams (including favorites such as the Newark Eagles, Harlem Knights, Baltimore Crabs, West Philly Dancers and Cleveland Ebonies) competed from 1920-40, when they were shut out of the all-white league. Consumers can now honor the memory of this league by buying sportswear emblazoned with the team logos. Of course, if you don't remember this league, it might be because historians insist that it never existed. But Eric Williams, the guy who's selling the black league sportswear, isn't letting that minor fact bother him. He explains that: "These logos had to come…
Fake Family Software
Posted by The Curator on Sun Nov 13, 2005
Status: Hoax-facilitating software Genealogists are in an uproar about new software that allows people to create fake (but real looking) online family trees. The program is called Fake Family. (Because of the controversy, the website of the software maker is now given over to an Open Letter to Genealogists.) Genealogists argue that the fake information created by this program could easily find its way into real family history databases. They also charge that the only purpose of the software is to create webpages that will lure people with false information, and then profit from advertising links. The maker of the software, Don Harrold, defends his creation by insisting it's…

The Bear on the California Flag Should Have Been a Pear
Posted by The Curator on Sun Nov 13, 2005
Status: Hoax A reporter for Inside Bay Area (I don't know his name... it's not given with the article) recently recounted how his granddaughter told him that the bear on the California flag was originally supposed to be a pear. Back in 1846, Capt. Jedediah Bartlett, leader of a band of rebels fighting against the Mexican authorities in California, supposedly drew up a flag for the future state. He thought a pear, as a symbol of the region's agriculture, would be a fitting symbol. But his instructions were misread and the flagmaker inserted a bear on the flag instead of a pear. The error…

Lincoln Death Photo
Posted by The Curator on Tue Sep 20, 2005
Status: Authentic In my hoax photo gallery I display a picture of the body of Abraham Lincoln lying in a casket and explain that the photo is fake because the army didn't allow any photos of Lincoln's body to be taken. But I just received an email from Rich noting that there is one authentic picture of Lincoln's corpse, and he's right. A photographer did manage to snap a shot of the dead Lincoln as he was lying in state in Manhattan's City Hall. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton had the photograph confiscated, and it was supposed to be destroyed. But…

Michelangelo's Laocoon
Posted by The Curator on Wed Apr 06, 2005
It's already well known that Michelangelo dabbled in art forgery. That's not disputed. For instance, there's his famous forgery of the Sleeping Cupid. However, Lynn Catterson of Columbia University thinks that a much more high-profile forgery should be attributed to him. She believes that Michelangelo forged The Laocoon, which has long been regarded as one of the most important pieces of ancient Greek sculpture in existence. She points out that Michelangelo was present when The Laocoon was unearthed in 1506. She has promised to provide further proof to back up her allegation at a lecture today, as well as in a…
Mickey's Gala Premiere
Posted by The Curator on Wed Apr 06, 2005
In September 1939 the fledgling BBC television service was shut down because of the start of World War II. According to legend, transmission was ended in the middle of a broadcast of a Disney cartoon called "Mickey's Gala Premiere." When transmission resumed six years later an announcer came on the air and said, "Well now, where were we?" The Disney cartoon then began to play from the exact spot in which it had left off all those years ago. Is this story true? Almost, but not quite. According to imdb.com, "Mickey's Gala Premiere" was the last thing shown on the BBC in 1939 and the first thing it aired when it started back up in 1946. However the…

Wageningen Liberation Monument
Posted by The Curator on Fri Apr 01, 2005
Here's a strange story. I'm not sure whether or not it's a joke. Supposedly the Dutch village of Wageningen commissioned the construction of a war memorial shaped like "a giant copper obelisk that rises and falls depending on the level of sunlight, and spurts flames out of the top during important festivals." Only after they built it did they realize it looked exactly like a giant penis and hastily decided to scrap it. There are two reasons I'm skeptical about this. First, the source is listed as Ananova. Second, there already is a National Liberation Monument war memorial in Wageningen that's been there since the 1950s.

Easter Legend is a Hoax
Posted by The Curator on Sun Mar 27, 2005
It's long been thought that the word Easter and the traditions we associate with it (the Easter Bunny and hiding eggs) stem from an old Germanic Saxon belief about the goddess Ostara. The Saxons believed that Ostara was sent by the Sun King during the spring to bring an end to winter. She bore a basket of colored eggs, and with the help of a magical rabbit would hide these eggs under plants and flowers to bring them new life. The name Ostara evolved into Oestre, or Easter. Turns out this legend is a hoax, at least according to University of Tasmania researcher Elizabeth Freeman. Her research indicates that the Saxons never worshipped a goddess named Ostara. Ostara…
The Old Negro Space Program
Posted by The Curator on Thu Mar 24, 2005
Conspiracy theorists say that man never landed on the moon, but the truth is even more shocking. As this short documentary film about the Old Negro Space Program reveals, the Blackstronauts of Black 'NASSA' landed on the moon a full three years before White NASA managed to get there. However, this achievement has been covered up by an elaborate 'Black Blackout' in the media. The film manages to capture exactly the right 'Ken Burnsesque' tone. Watch for how they keep repeating 'It was a different time back then, 1957 or 58', and how a fiddle starts playing whenever the narration shifts to a more reflective…

Pony Express Hoax
Posted by The Curator on Wed Mar 23, 2005
According to legend, the Pony Express mail service (which operated from 1860 to 1861) advertised for riders as follows: "Wanted. Young, skinny, wiry fellows. Not over 18. Must be expert riders. Willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred." But historian Joseph Nardone has determined that the ad is a hoax. It never ran. Or rather, it never ran during the operation of the Pony Express. He scoured hundreds of papers, but couldn't find it listed anywhere. The first time he found it mentioned was in 1902. A real ad for the Pony Express, from 1860, read as follows: "Men Wanted! The undersigned wishes to hire ten or a dozen…
Sky Disc of Nebra
Posted by The Curator on Wed Mar 02, 2005
Yet another German archaeological fraud has possibly been uncovered. The Guardian reports that controversy has erupted over the authenticity of the 'Sky Disc of Nebra'. The disc, which shows the sun, moon and stars, was found in 1999 by two amateur metal detectors near the town of Nebra in Germany. It was believed to be 3600 years old. Now some experts, including Peter Schauer of Regensburg University, are claiming that it's a fake. This issue has arisen because the two guys who found it were charged with handling stolen goods after they tried to sell the disc to a museum. I don't really understand what the basis…
The Bat Creek Stone
Posted by The Curator on Wed Dec 15, 2004
In 1889 a curiously engraved stone was found in an Indian mound near Bat Creek, Ohio. The discoverer of the stone was John Emmert, who was working for the Smithsonian's Mound Survey Project. Emmert thought (or said he thought) that the inscription was written in Cherokee and sent the 'Bat Creek Stone' off to the Smithsonian, which accepted the stone as authentic. The Smithsonian then included a reference to the stone in its final report on the Mounds--the report in which it concluded that the mounds had been built by ancient American Indians, not by an ancient tribe of world-wandering Europeans or Israelites (the origin of the Indian mounds was a huge…
Atlantis Found
Posted by The Curator on Fri Dec 10, 2004
A lot of people lately seem to be finding the lost city of Atlantis. Back in June a researcher said he located it off the southern coast of Spain by studying satellite images. Then last month US researchers said they found the city off the coast of Cyprus by using sonar technology. But my favorite is the discovery of Atlantis announced yesterday by the Hawaiian Phonics tutor Dennis Brooks. He's studied the issue deeply and has concluded that Atlantis is, in fact, Tampa, Florida. He points out that the dimensions of Atlantis as described by Plato pretty much match up with the dimensions of Tampa and Harbor Island (in Tampa Bay). So…

Wiltshire Council
I bring traffic for digital agencies like Rooster Digital and We Make Awesome Sh, and help make things like this.
I love digital audio and web development, especially when they collide.
Before that, I was a freelance journalist for Wired, Gizmodo, CNET, The Guardian, Ultimate Guitar, AOL Music and others.
In a short previous life, my audio engineering history includes several sessions for the BBC at Maida Vale for Radio 1 and 2 and a stint as a producer at Xfm, Heart and Capital FM when they were part of Gcap Media.
Right after university, I raised over £25,000 to start the Shak Studio, a free community recording studio on behalf of Wiltshire Council, to encourage young people to take part in their community with music. It was awesome, yet ticking off my life goal of running a studio felt kind of premature.
I enjoy finding ways to be creative with the internet. As David Thorne says, the internet is a playground.
You should definitely email me and follow me on Twitter.

TAMPA, Fla. - We're digging deeper into what one local soldier's stepfather calls "deplorable conditions" at the James A. Haley Veteran's Administration Hospital in Tampa.
WINK News has nearly a dozen published reports by V.A. Investigators. One, done in 2003, found things very similar to the concerns raised by PFC Corey Kent's family. But we're told, conditions there should be improving very soon.
"Those weren't made up pictures. They were too dirty to be made up," Kent's stepfather Dan Ashby said, describing the pictures he took of his stepson's room.
Kent is now back at Walter Reed after his health took a turn for the worse while at James A Haley V.A. Hospital.
Ashby blames the condition of the hospital. "It's not just about Corey. It's about all men and women. Anybody who served in the armed forces deserves better," Ashby said.
Past inspections show issues with cleanliness have been raised for years.
A 2003 facility review uncovered:
-dirty and dusty equipment in unoccupied rooms
-discolored floor tiles and grout
-holes in walls
-and thick black dust on kitchen ceiling tiles
A 2006 review found the center to be appropriately maintained... but problems like a refrigerator dripping water onto medicine.
A 2008 review found:
-dusty air vents
-floors in need of deep cleaning
-dirty and clean endoscopes in the same room
Plus, a sample of 25 patients' PRN pain medication found 42% had little to no effectiveness.
We found seven investigations into quality of care:
-one following the death of a marine whose condition suddenly deteriorated once he arrived at James A. Haley
-another from a patient who complained his room was littered with trash and used urinals
V.A. Spokeswoman Carolyn Clark wouldn't comment on what she called "old and irrelevant" investigations. But says they are making state-of-the-art renovations. "We have a painting project, we also have on 5 west, we have just rehabbed that unit, and we should have that finished in 60-90 days," Clark said. "And what that is, is we have rehabbed that unit with single rooms, flat screen TVs, overhead lift system where we are able to lift them to a wheelchair or to the commode or restroom."
We've gotten quite a bit of feedback on this issue. Some have similar stories, others have had very positive experiences. Thursday night, we got an email from a man who said when he had surgery there 3 months ago, the conditions were clean and he was treated like royalty.
We've put links to all of the inspections and investigations on our website. Click under the Call for Action section.
