So I decided to experiment with making a chocolate (candybar) powered rocket engine. A quick googling showed me that I was remembering right that people do make Sugar and Potassium Nitrate rockets. (And even pixi stick rockets), so I decided to see if i could do it too but using a candybar! (you know how many calories there are in them Right?
Figuring sticking with a space theme, and avoiding complex compounds such as peanuts. That a Milkyway candybar was just the ticket. (turns out that was a lucky decision, more on that later)
Step 1: Materials,
- A small scale
- A hammer
- A grinder (mortar and pestle like i show here, or a coffee grinder you don't plan to use for food again)
- An anvil or chunk of steel or other hard object to pound on
- A Domed head carriage bolt (I believe the head size of mine was 3/4" and it was about 4" long)
- A drill, with, 7mm drill bit. and a counter sink drill bit, (or a larger 1/2" bit will do too.
- A permanent marker.
You Will need the following materials.
- Some clay kitty litter (a few ounces of clean clay based kitty litter will do) this will make the fire proof plugs at both ends of the engine
- A MilkyWay Candybar, this will provide the fuel
- Some Potassium Nitrate (salt peter) (as pure as you can get) Oxidizer,
- some thin wall PVC pipe (about the same internal diameter as the carriage bolt head), cut it into 2.5" lengths
- some cannon fuse, or model rocket engine igniter.
& part2
seriously melting sugar adding nitrates is a recipe for death or disfigurment or mangling and blindness. Adding water to the mix at any point is counterproductive. Look up old alt.fireworks and see their files. you buy tubes and clays and insert mold bore s. (all the wrong words, but they will make sense when you see how you make them. The mix is put in tubes you mold in nozzles, then you put in the part that makes the bore and it is on a platform that you "tamp down" (can you feel th esurgeons knife yet as she slices out the damaged eyesockets/), then you add parachute charge or flashover to next stage.
As a person with many many scars, you do this at your own risk, and from experience it is not worth the risk. I was almost killed and do not suggets you even try this.
Just pay the price and buy Estes. Safer ,Faster, most cost effective. (considering investment learning curve, medical costs legal fees etc.
If you live in the larger open places with next to NO NEIGHBORS, you can do high altitude rocketry. You will get visits from ATF and who know what other alphabet organization. Could get you a work offer or free trip to Gitmo.
buy the freaking things
Keep in mind that doing this wrong can produce a potential bomb. Overheating and casting with a crack are both dangerous failure modes.
More 'bang for your buck'
We made a bunch of these back in the day :)
Agree with the 'smoke was white when the mixture was right' from Krayfishkc !
Nice engine ! +++
PS. Don't try buying saltpeter, sulphur and carbon from your local chemists ! They don't like it ! lol

Goals: NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers - Spirit and its twin Opportunity - were designed to study the history of climate and water at sites on Mars where conditions may once have been favorable to life. Each rover is equipped with a suite of science instruments to read the geologic record at each site, to investigate what role water played there and to determine how suitable the conditions would have been for life.
Accomplishments: Both rovers far exceeded their design specifications and returned science results that transformed our understanding of Mars.
Spirit: Described as a "wonderful workhorse," Spirit explored for years beyond its original 92 day mission. The rover revealed an ancient Mars that was very different from the Mars we see today. Spirit uncovered strong evidence that Mars was much wetter than it is now in a silica patch apparently produced by hot springs or steam vents. The rover captured movies of dust devils in motion, leading to a better understanding of Martian wind. Spirit continued to make discoveries even as it was stuck in deep sand at a spot dubbed Troy at Gusev Crater on Mars. On 25 May 2011, NASA ended efforts to contact the marooned rover and declared its mission complete. The rover had been silent since March 2010.
Opportunity: The second rover to land on Mars has returned dramatic evidence that its area of Mars stayed wet for an extended period of time long ago, with conditions that could have been suitable for sustaining microbial life. Scientists believe that Opportunity's Meridiani Planum landing site "was once the shoreline of a salty sea on Mars." Opportunity also has analyzed exposed rock layers recording how environmental conditions changed over time. Opportunity holds a Martian driving record: more than 20 km as of March 2010.

December 19, 2011
Event Location: Rapid Competition Raceway, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Event Date(s): December 10, 2011 to December 11, 2011
Keven Hébert provided the following report:
Rapid Competition Raceway in Grand Rapids, Michigan was the site of the second leg of the 2011/2012 Midwest Grand Slam Series. A slightly different race format than the previous round meant that the entire program would run on Saturday and Sunday. Practice early Saturday morning was followed by three rounds of qualifying. A final round of qualifying and the main events were scheduled for Sunday.
Some of the best names from the Midwest were in attendance in both TC and 1/12. The largest class was Stock 17.5 TC and after a few practice rounds I already felt comfortable with my Reedy-powered TC6.1. Only a few small changes from my US Indoor Champs setup were needed to lock her down.
Modified 1/12 was a little bit more challenging. I lost traction early in the run for the first few runs but this situation continued to improve and by the second round of qualifying the problem was resolved. At the end of qualifying on Saturday I held the TQ position in both Mod 1/12 and Stock 17.5 TC.
On Sunday, I was able to improve my TQ times in both classes to secure the advantageous pole position. In the TC 17.5 main event, I was able to take advantage of the number one start and lead wire-to-wire ahead of Dave Johnson in second and Brad Johnson in third.
Things were a bit more difficult in 1/12 Modified. Andrew Knapp challenged me for the first half of the race, but thanks to a small mistake on his part, I was able open up a comfortable lead and take my second win of the weekend.
Thanks to Rapid Competition Raceway for a great event and first-class facility!

/ Wetland Reserve Program (WRP)
Loading Tree...
The Wetlands Reserve Program is a voluntary program offering landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance wetlands on their property. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides technical and financial support to help landowners with their wetland restoration efforts. The NRCS goal is to achieve the greatest wetland functions and values, along with optimum wildlife habitat, on every acre enrolled in the program. This program offers landowners an opportunity to establish long-term conservation and wildlife practices and protection.
Landowners who choose to participate in WRP may sell a conservation easement to or enter into a cost-share restoration agreement with USDA to restore and protect wetlands. The program offers landowners three options: permanent easements, 30-year easements, and restoration cost-share agreements of a minimum 10-year duration. Landowners and NRCS develop a plan for the restoration and maintenance of the wetland.
As a requirement of the program, landowners voluntarily limit future use of the land, yet retain private ownership. Landowners continue to control access to the land--and may lease the land--for hunting, fishing, and other undeveloped recreational activities. At any time, landowners may request that additional activities be evaluated to determine if they are a compatible use for the site. This request may include such items as permission to cut hay, graze livestock or harvest wood products. Compatible Use Authorizations are allowed if they are fully consistent with the protection and enhancement of the wetland.
Applications for the Wetland Reserve Program may be submitted year round. Applications completed at a local USDA Service Center by February 15, 2013, will be considered for funding in fiscal year 2013.
After completing a Conservation Program Application at your local USDA Service Center, a Wetland Emphasis Team Office employee will work with you to determine eligibility and complete a scoring worksheet for your application.

Friday, April 30, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Apr. 30, 2004) - ETSU freshman left fielder Stephen Douglas (Kennesaw, Ga.) hit an RBI single, scoring senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) with the game-winning run to break a 9-9 tie in the bottom of the ninth as the Bucs defeated The Citadel, 10-9, Friday night from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. With the win, East Tennessee State goes to 23-22, 12-13 in Southern Conference play while the Bulldogs fall to 26-16, 15-4 in SoCon games. Things looked promising for The Citadel early, as they took a 4-0 lead after scoring two runs in the first and single runs in the second and third. Josh Stackley reached on a fielder's choice with two outs in the top of the first, stole second then scored on a single by Chip Cannon. After Jon Aughey was hit by a pitch, Andy Phillips singled to center to bring home Cannon. The Bulldogs scored another two-out run in the second, as Matt Covington singled with two down and scored on a single by Stackley later in the inning. Aughey drove in The Citadel's fourth run with a leadoff homer to left in the top of the third. Bulldog starter Jonathan Ellis was superb early, not allowing a hit through the first three innings. But the Bucs got to him in the fourth. ETSU struck for four runs in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game. Junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single to center, then scored on a double to left-center by sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.). Howdeshell then followed with his eighth homer of the season, a towering two-run shot over the left field wall. The next batter, sophomore designated hitter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) hammered a solo home run over the right-center field wall. The Citadel took the lead right back with four more runs in the top of the fifth. Stackley led off the frame with a homer over the left-center field wall. After a walk by Cannon and a single by Mark Egleton, Will Coker laced a two-out two-run double to score both runners. Matt Matulia capped the inning's scoring with an RBI single to center, scoring Coker from second. Down 8-4, East Tennessee State would score at least one run in each of the four remaining innings, putting six crucial runs on the board. The Bucs loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the sixth on a walk by Howdeshell, an infield single by Calicutt and a single to left by sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.). But ETSU could only get one run in the frame, as Douglas drove in Howdeshell on a fielder's choice. ETSU tied the game yet again, scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh. Sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) led off the inning with a walk then scored as Moore singled and advanced to second on an error. Howdeshell then stepped to the plate and hit an RBI double to right and later scored on an infield single by Glafenhein. The Bulldogs took a 9-8 lead with a run in the top of the eighth. Covington hit a one-out double to left-center then moved to third on an infield single by Chris Ard. Covington crossed the plate on a two-out error by Buccaneer third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.). Roberts made up for his mistake in the field as he led off the bottom of the eighth. He hit a leadoff homer to left-center on the second pitch he saw, tying the game at nine. ETSU senior lefty Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) saved the game for the Bucs, pitching out of a major jam in the top of the ninth. After Aughey and Andy Phillips reached base with consecutive perfect bunt singles to lead off the inning, pinch-hitter Tripp Cappellmann moved the runners to second and third with a sacrifice bunt. Coker then walked to load the bases with one out. Kite then got Matulia to ground into a fielder's choice, as Glafenhein was able to fire the ball to Moore to get the out at home. The next batter, Covington, also hit into a fielder's choice, grounding to Kite who flipped the ball to Moore for the force just before Phillips crossed the plate. After a thrilling top of the ninth, the Bucs put the game away in the bottom of the inning. After being down in the count 0-2, Howdeshell reached on a leadoff walk. Glafenhein would walk with one out then Douglas lined the game-winning single to center to score Howdeshell from second. Kite (2-2) earned the win after two innings of stellar relief, allowing one run (none earned) on four hits while walking one and striking out one. Bulldog reliever Shannon Sprouse was charged with the loss (3-4) after allowing a run on one hit and two walks in one-third of an inning. Moore, Howdeshell, Calicutt and Glafenhein all led the Bucs with two hits on the evening. Howdeshell also scored four runs and drove in three others. Aughey had a game-high three hits for The Citadel while four players recorded four hits on the night. Three Bulldogs scored two runs while Stackley and Coker drove in two. "We had a lot of great individual performances tonight, but this was a team win" said ETSU head coach Tony Skole following the game. "We had a lot of guys step up tonight and that is what you need to win." The Bucs and Bulldogs return to the diamond tomorrow afternoon for game two of their three-game series from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m.

In 1989, just before famously controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe died too young of AIDS complications at age 42, he made his very best friend promise to tell their story. Patti Smith took many years to do it, but the incredible result, Just Kids has proven well worth the wait. Winner of the National Book Award, Smith's delicate tribute to her relationship with Mapplethorpe and their love affair with New York City is read by Patti Smith herself.
No one else could narrate this, and no one else could have written this. After Smith ditched college to move to New York in 1967, a chance encounter in which Mapplethorpe saved her from an expectant date by pretending to be her angry boyfriend touched off one of the most historic artistic partnerships the city had ever seen. Embarking at first as lovers, they clung to their art and each other through poverty and misfortune in the late-60s, moving steadily closer to the center of cultural influence in the 70s. Mapplethorpe struggled with coming out of the closet and Smith struggled to find an artistic medium that suited her best. Together, they swam through everything that made New York great and terrible, each eventually emerging as a pioneering independent spirit that to this day knows no equal.
Smith's voice as both the writer and the narrator is simply unimpeachable. Reflective and soft-spoken, she humbly attempts to capture two decades of this inspirational partnership. Listeners can tell she is thinking through every image she has written here, pausing occasionally to let it sink in for herself or to let the dialogue get caught in her throat. By turns haunted and poetic, by turns silly and sarcastic, Smith trips along these enchanting bits of history in a way that is utterly endearing. It's not at all like inviting somebody famous to entertain you with gossip at dinner. Real respect must be paid. Listeners will be in awe of the fact that Patti Smith comes across as a totally normal person who stumbled into an extraordinary life. Even if you've already passed totally engrossed through the hard copy of this book, to hear it from Patti Smith's own mouth is simply an otherworldly experience. This audiobook is an essential companion to the text that will not only bear repeated listening, but will beg for it. Megan Volpert
National Book Award, Nonfiction, 2010
It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation.
Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to 42nd Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous - the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years.
Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late 60s and 70s and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame.
©2010 Patti Smith (P)2011 Patti Smith
"Smith's beautifully crafted love letter to her friend Robert Mapplethorpe functions as a memento mori of a relationship fueled by passion for art and writing. Her elegant eulogy lays bare the chaos and the creativity so embedded in that earlier time and in Mapplethorpe's life and work." (Publishers Weekly, Top Ten Books of the Year)
"The most enchantingly evocative memoir of funky-but-chic New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s that any alumnus has yet committed to print." (Janet Maslin's top 10 books of 2010, New York Times)
"Reading rocker Smith's account of her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, it's hard not to believe in fate. How else to explain the chance encounter that threw them together, allowing both to blossom? Quirky and spellbinding." (People, Top 10 Books of 2010)
"Exceptional. Deeply honest and thoughtful."
Patti Smith as both author and narrator delivers depth, truth, insight, a most impressive study of the life and times of two true artists. I was captivated by Patti Smith's interview with Terry Gross on the "Fresh Air" podcast and was so pleased to find this available on Audible. This compelling narrative exceeded my high expectations. Authors are rarely the best narrators but such is not the case here. I cannot now imagine this being read by other than Ms. Smith. It is as if you are following her around, looking over her shoulder as her life unfolds before her. This is just SO good. I am very pleased with the story, the narration and the high quality of the audio production. Highly recommended.
"the memoir of an innocent time, a love letter"
I was a freshman at the Corcoran in 1978, Patti Smith was cool. Ten years later, I was a widow working as a lab technician in an AIDS lab, and a year later Robert Maplethorpe died. By that time, I was shell-shocked by death, homophobia and the terror of becoming single in a world of AIDS. It took me over a decade to pay off the enormous medical bills my husband left me and finding my way back to painting and writing.
At 2:30am this morning, New Year's Day 2012, in bed with my iPod, I downloaded this book and entered a time machine. Everything I assumed I knew about these two people via their mythology was wrong.
This book had a profound effect on me and yet, I wonder how it will be received by those outside the solar systems of art and AIDS in that timeframe, hopefully with an open mind. These two people whose lives in the rearview mirror are legendary. It may come as a surprise that most people in those days were so so naive and innocent. We were not drowning in the world wide web of data... growing up Catholic and confused by a world outside our limited view, all the while living on the edge...
I love this book and it will find a permanent home on my iPod. A reminder of a place and time that formed many who are now graying and even more confused.
An astounding tribute to Smith, Mapplethorpe, their astonishing life journey and their work. I lived it, loved it, now I had the chance to read about it. And I'll do so again.
"Beautiful, moving"
I thought I knew so much about these two, and this era. It was interesting to bring more clarity to the times they lived in. But the greater gift here is Patti Smiths' clear, poetic telling of this deep intimate, artistic relationship. It's wonderful to hear it in her voice. It's just beautiful.
I'd heard many kudos for this book and am adding mine to the long list. An eloquent, hypnotic and insightful read into a unique relationship between artists who knew their gifts long before they were discovered. A loving tribute by Ms. Smith to her lover, friend and co-conspirator, Mr. Mapplethorpe. Her voice, while calm and somewhat droll, enhances the poetry of her words.
"Fantastic, great narration!"
Incredibly touching, wonderfully written, beautiful imagery. I loved this book. I had a little bit of a hard time for the first few sentences to get used to the poetic language. But once you listen to Patti's voice and see what she saw... It is a beautiful book, and I really want to share the audio version with others. I could not have loved this book as much without this narration.
"She is the best."
Patti Smith sheds a non-judgemental light on an era of New York City when the art and music scenes seemed to be exploding. She crosses the paths of many luminaries (Harry Smith, Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol) while slowly finding her own way and becoming the admired singer, poet and artist many adore. This book is very humble, it is not about name-dropping, she is not trying to make her or her friends seem like rock/art royalty. This book is the tale of her often beautiful and enduring friendship with Robert Mapplethorpe and their respective urges to create.
"Smith's reading adds another dimension"
I couldn't decide whether to buy the book or listen to the audio version. When I saw Patti Smith read her book, herself, I opted for the Audible edition. I'm very glad I did. This is a powerful and inspiring work. Smith puts a lot of emotion into her reading, which would come as no surprise to anyone interested to read the book in the first place. Patti Smith brings the same intensity to her reading and writing as she does to her music and poetry.
Any artist who believes they are held back by family connections, wealth or education, should read this book even if you've never heard of Patti Smith or Robert Mapplethorpe. Not everything they had to do to survive in 1970s New York was pretty, but they did it with style and courage, and they achieved what they planned to achieve. This book is a candid and beautiful memoir.
"And to think I almost took a pass on this one..."
I love the honesty and mispronunciations of Patti's reading. Here she is -a brilliant, insightful intellect with the Jersey vernacular keeping her human. The book begins slow, almost ho-hum like light snowflakes that swirl around until it becomes ground cover, then the whole snowball effect takes place and by the end of the book you'll feel like you just rode an avalanche. It's an artistic, culturally penetrating, honest and most importantly- heartfelt love story.
"Smith has a gift"
This book is part personal memoir, part first-person-omniscient narrative. I loved everything about this piece, including Smith' New Jersey styled pronunciations. I hope she writes more.

2013 NBA Playoffs
Spurs Back In NBA Finals After Sweep Of Grizzlies
It may seem as if the San Antonio Spurs are playing for an NBA title every year. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker know only too well how very long it's been since their last chance.
Why No Rose Could Be A Blessing For The Bulls
But I also happen to think this: Playing without Derrick Rose in the playoffs could actually be a very good thing for the Bulls in the long run.

A break at the beginning of the second set was enough for Stosur to seal her second victory over Ana in Moscow in 12 months, following her three set win here in the semi-finals last year.
"You can't drop a ball short to Ana," said Stosur. "Because she gets around it and hits that big forehand and puts you in lots of trouble.
"You've got to make sure you're starting the points off positively. I think I served very well, which allowed me to get on top of the points in my service games and control the games."
Ana's next and final tournament of the season is the Tournament Of Champions Sofia, which begins on Tuesday 29 October.

I believe this a kind of word-game, but cannot find a reference to it...
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
ひとこと欄 is not the name of a game. It means "a place for a short message." It is often found at the end of various forms. For example, an application form of a fitness center may have ひとこと欄 at the end with a sentence such as "If you have any suggestions or concerns, please write them here."
I do not know its English equivalent, but I post this as an answer because japanese.stackexchange.com is a website for questions about Japanese, not for questions about English.

Rapes: Conduct a media campaign in India to ask women to get a promise from the men in their lives to respect women they come across daily.
Background: Women are unsafe in India. Recently there was a shocking gang rape of a young student on a bus (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20753075). update: the girl has since died. Sexual harassment under the guise of 'eve teasing' is widespread. (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20765364)
*Idea:* Advertising agencies and the media should donate space and broadcast time to conduct an unusual campaign: Urge sisters, mothers, wives, to talk to their brothers, fathers, husbands, friends to treat women they encounter with respect. To get a commitment from the men in their lives that they will not harass nor allow to be mistreated, the women they come across in their daily life. If you show an advertising video clip of a girl asking her brother if he has 'eve teased' (harassed), and if he has, she scolds him. Then the advt should ask sisters to do the same.
Again an advertising video clip of a mother telling her son to keep his hands to himself when he passes a girl on the street. Then the advt should ask mothers to do the same.... you get the idea.
It is a lot more effective than changing laws or adding new police patrols or other measures that will fade.
There is a culture of sexual harassment prevalent in India. Women commuting, going for a walk, traveling by bus, are unsafe. I have personally witnessed plenty of harassment in India. If women influence the men in their lives to treat female strangers they come across with respect, then there will be a general atmosphere that is safe for women.
Dec 26 2012: This is a good idea; companies should not see the issue of safety and security as a cross that should only be carried by the government. The media should use its influence to affect social perception because this is about the way women are percieved.
It should be clear that rape is unacceptable.
In this case 60 seconds PSAs would go a long way.Jan 9 2013: No one here has pointed out that this is an issue for men to address, not women. Men rape other men's mothers, wives, and sister and daughters.
in India, a rape is reported on average every 20 minutes.
A global poll of experts last year by TrustLaw, a legal news service run by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, showed India to be the worst place among G20 countries to be a woman.
Activists say most sex crimes in India go unreported, and official data show that almost all go unpunished. Reported rape cases rose nearly 17 percent between 2007 and 2011.
"Guilt is not one-sided," the guru, Asaram Bapu, told followers this week, adding that if the student had pleaded with her six attackers in God's name, and told them she was of the "weaker sex", they would have relented.
Such views have caused outrage among India's growing urban middle class.
Protesters burned effigies of the yoga guru near his headquarters in western India, media reported, and Twitter exploded with posts calling him "medieval" and a "misogynist".
But he is not alone.
Before last month's gang rape caused shockwaves, it was common for police to point the finger of blame in sex crime cases at women's clothing, or the fact that they worked alongside men.
Blaming women is something men do to excuse their behaviors.
I might recommend this TEDTalk http://www.ted.com/talks/tony_porter_a_call_to_men.html
"The Centers for Disease Control says that men's violence against women is at epidemic proportions. — Tony Porter (at 09:55)"
"At TEDWomen, Tony Porter makes a call to men everywhere: Don't "act like a man." Telling powerful stories from his own life, he shows how this mentality, drummed into so many men and boys, can lead men to disrespect, mistreat and abuse women and each other. His solution: Break free of the "man box."
But instead I will ask you to listen to the eloquent words powerful women.
http://www.ted.com/talks/suheir_hammad_poems_of_war_peace_women_power.htmlDec 30 2012: I am not sure that will work. You cannot just 'ask' someone to treat women with respect when the culture, market, media and law-makers are hardly sincere about that respect. We should rather think deeply about why rapes happen and how it should stop.
When will the rapes stop? Taslima Nasrin says : When men stop raping. I find that answer more of jest and less of sense. It's a circular argument that creates the question : When will men stop raping?
Rape is a crime that is power-centric. It has hardly anything to do with sex - either on a procreative angle or pleasure. It's only incidental that it involves sexual violation of a human body. Rape is a phallic statement of power over weak, a cruel destruction of human dignity. Rape will only stop when sexual integrity is decoupled from modesty, when women are as strong as men physically, socially and financially, when a raped woman is viewed as a survivor of a crime not a victim. In short when the primary drive of the power statement behind rape is denied.
Rape will stop when both masculine aggression and feminine fragility cease to exist as valid memes. Yes, we will lose some poetry and romantic innuendos with societies of masculine women and feminine men, but that will be better than living with the shame and insecurity of the present time.
Dec 30 2012: If you show an advertising video clip of a girl asking her brother if he has 'eve teased' (harassed), and if he has, she scolds him. Then the advt should ask sisters to do the same.

Dec 29 2012: Just allow unmarried young people to have relationships and sex and start treating boys and girls equally, that will solve many problems whether society is hindu, christian, muslim (yeah, that's right, they don't deserve to be capitalized) or some other sex-obsessed hypocritical religion that turn a blind eye when boys break the rules but kick girls when they're down.

Rape does not happen because men have not promised not to ... this is thought is just bizarre!
Rape is an act of plain and conscious violence, as any man has what it takes to control his urge of sexual excitement, just by himself, which is called masturbation...
The fact that a man chooses not to 'take hands' on himself, yet to rape a child, girl or woman (also boys) instead, is a criminal act only and no lack of a single promise.
Forced sex against the will of any individual is a crime and should be put to justice. The reasons why men are committing this crime are probably manifold, yet in either case, a lack of respect against other beings is mandatory in any... and something what a simple promise would not be able to cure...
We have seen 'even' priests raping, so lip-service from the side of the offender is nothing we could rely on, ever.
So we got to strengthen the voice of the victims! Unfortunately a lot of raping happens in close family circles, and the victims are to often ashamed and frightened to talk about the crime which was done to them by their parents or relatives. If at all a media campaign would be able to help at least those victims to raise their voice to be heard, this new cast 'light' may stop some men who think to 'get away' with rape easily and 'in the dark'.
As the sex-drive is one of the strongest we have as humans, I don't know if there is a general and helpful way to teach and to learn how to deal with it. As for any emotion, this is highly individual, and probably subjected to abnormalities and excessive deformations. So prevention and elucidation should have an important part in our societies, and with no more silence from the victims side, we would then get to see the whole scope of rape and abuse and if this was 'just' exceptional or epidemic in our human and masculine nature ...
Dec 29 2012: I agree with many of your points, but this gang rape was just the tip of the iceberg. There is a culture of sexual harassment prevalent in India. Women commuting, going for a walk, traveling by bus, are unsafe. I have personally witnessed plenty of harassment in India. If women influence the men in their lives to treat women they come across with respect, then there will be a general atmosphere that is safe for women.

Dec 26 2012: For starters, the way media portraits women and 'role models' which are established to young minds are poisonous. Media needs to stop glorifying violence. Our media needs a change within. It is key to a bright future.Jan 6 2013: Curious, Anil, why have you posed the question? If you find that people generally agree this would be a good campaign, are you then going to write to ad agencies and ask them to create these ads? Or is this more of an intellectual exercise?

Although your campaign sounds good, it's a little hard for me here in california to know what will work in India. I don't know why I don't see so much harassment in California. I'm pretty sure if I fondled a woman on the street here, she'd get on her phone and call the police to come help her. So the police are important, no? Are there any women working on the police force in India? Maybe they need more female police workers there.Jan 6 2013: similar cases in just the past day: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/news/Woman-found-stripped-dead-in-Noida/videoshow/17903705.cmsDec 29 2012: update: the woman has since died from the trauma http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20863860Dec 26 2012: It might be a good idea, but are you sure the media is telling you accurately what life is like in India? Sometimes the media sensationalizes things to sell newspapers. For example, I remember a major flood here in the United States. The first day after the flood, the headlines said three thousand dead. But as the days went by, it became clear that about eight hundred had died, a significant number but not as many as three thousand.
Dec 26 2012: @greg, I was born and raised in India and spent most of my life there. The media is being truthful here.Dec 29 2012: update: the woman has since died http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20863860Jan 6 2013: similar cases in just the past day: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/news/Woman-found-stripped-dead-in-Noida/videoshow/17903705.cmsDec 26 2012: The most effective message would be mother and father to sons, early and often.
Rape is far too common in the USA also.
