Boats Capsize During Race
The 3rd Annual Dragon Boat race in Oriental kicked off as planned, but strong winds and a heavy down pour brought the much anticipated event to an early end.
More than 400 paddlers took turns conquering the water while 200 plus fans cheered them on.
"It was good there were a lot of people everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves," said Pamela Wager.
That is until the weather suddenly shifted during the 6th round.
"We thought it was going to be a little drizzle and pass over but the wind picked up it got a little heavier waves were crashing," said Taylor Gregg. "Some of the boaters were getting ready to go and load up to go out again and the person in charge said we can't do this 2 boats flipped over. I was pretty freaked out."
Nick Van Norman owner of Taste of Creole had a front row seat to all of the action. "Everybody was like oh," Van Norman said. "It got quite interesting a couple of the skiffs were trying come in a make sure people were safe."
No one was seriously injured. The water was shallow enough for participants to walk out of the water
The 18 round race was quickly cut short. Eventually the sun made its way back out, just in time to award those who braved out the storm
Everyone who braved the storm received an award.

Hanlin issues statement
January 6, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin issued a statement Saturday night regarding her involvement in the investigation into an alleged August rape incident involving a 16 year old......
You, Stupidvilleman, like the trolling with trivial information. Actually, the "protest" here is not a protest, it is a "rally" in support of a rape victim. It is the detractors that try to "blurr" the lines. check your sources and try again please.

^ United States of America v. City of Steubenville, Steubenville Police Department, Steubenville City Manager, in his capacity as director of Public Safety, and Steubenville Civil Service Commission, Civil No. C2 97-966, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, August 28, 1997
So before you speak about this "fine city's officials" be sure to check the *** at the door

Corruption by city officials is rampant in stupidville. Has been for years. Did you know.... Steubenville is only the SECOND city EVER in the USA to sign a decree --->Over a period of 20 years the city lost, or settled out of court, 48 civil rights lawsuits involving its police force. The city paid out more than $800,000, $400,000 of which was between 1990 and 1996. As a result, the city's police force became the second city in the United States to sign a consent decree with the federal government due to an excessive number of civil rights lawsuits. The decree was signed on September 4, 1997 under the "pattern or practice" provision-- Quoted from wikipedia, which was cited as follows

Greetings stupidvilleman, glad to know that those supporting a rape victim in Steubenville makes then a terrorist. We should have more terrorism if that is the case. Stupid is putting heads in the sand when something happens. Being a fool is quite common among those that "don't want to get involved".

Greetings masked terrorists. What facts have you actually uncovered during your smear campaign? Oh sorry I forgot that facts are not at all important. The kind people of Steubenville will let you continue to prove what fools you really are.

There is no Statute of Limitation on rape.
These animals will all eventually get theirs, it's just the innocent that will have to pay.
It is time for those who were witnesses to step up & if they ask the FBI for a deal & witness protection (relocation) they will probably get it.
Better to start a new life somewhere else than to live with this hanging over their heads for eternity.

I'm curious if we should be expecting the "Honorable" Jane Hanlin to be testifying on behalf of the accused rapists? Seems it would be consistent with her history as a prosecutor, which would make absolutely no sense in any other courtroom in America but oddly makes total sense here.

Not every athlete that attends Big Red is a criminal. Making the assertion that NO Big Red high school students should be allowed to enter college on the basis of 4-8 individuals would be a crime in itself. As for those involved whom haven't been charged, carma is a b1tch. Somehow, somewhere, they will be bitten by the same or worse as they committed.
This thread is supposed to be about Hanlins' bogus statements and how she is trying to distance herself from any culpability.

It doesn't sound like the kids who were present and didn't do anything will be prosecuted as accessories to a crime. These kids were apparently raised in a culture of rape and they will never change. The only way to protect our communities is to not allow any of them to attend colleges where our daughters and granddaughters may become their next victims. I urge everyone to join me in writing to the universities that have football teams and ask that none of the boys from Steubenville High be recruited to their college football teams. If they are recruited, the universities are knowingly recruiting kids who have lived in a culture of rape and therefore will be targets for massive lawsuits by any students or locals who are raped by these boys.

Forensic tweets suggest juveniles not happy for taking the fall. Perhaps State prosecutors can offer a deal & relocation for testimony.... Tweets included 1 which asked what the big deal is, they train (gang) rape (at least) 1 girl EVERY year. ... There is good evidence that the 16 yr old girl was raped by a minimum of 4 young males & none of her sons wrestling team has been charged. The ex boyfriend & the girl who allegedly set her up to be drugged (as vengence for daring to break up with him) have not been charged with conspiracy? This is a can of worms that has not even started to be opened up. I can promise you this though, Steubenville will see no rest until ALL of the rapists are behind bars. The silence is only going to drag this on longer than necessary. If it drags on too long then the good kids are going to leave town after graduating & all Steubenville will have remaining is this trash. Is that a town you want in your future?

I have contacted the attorney generals office in Ohio. I will not stop either until ALL of the adults who provided alcohol for these parties are brought to justice! That includes prosecution to the full extent of the law! I am not going to stand by and allow the State of Ohio to lower the legal drinking age to 16 either. My next call is to the federal government to pursue federal racketeering charges for the jurisdictions that refuse to protect children by not prosecuting criminal adults corrupting minors! The State of Ohio did not create laws for local law enforcement to turn their backs and decide not to prosecute the criminals. DO YOUR JOB!

Prosecutor Jane Hanlin was a character witness for Branko Busick (former all-state football player for Steubenville High School.)
"I was asked to testify as a parent of a son who was starting to wrestle and looked to Branko as a mentor."
Morgantown police said they had connected Busick to two robberies in the city. Police said Busick attacked a man then stole the victim's iPhone and wallet. During the second robbery, police said Busick pointed a gun at a group of people inside an apartment, demanded money and beat one man with a gun.

Consider the following statement.
Suppose $X$, $Y$ are finite CW-complexes with free involution and $\mu:X\to Y$ is an equivariant map. If $\mu^*:H^i(Y;\mathbb{Z})\to H^i(X;\mathbb{Z})$ is an isomorphism for $i>i_0$ and is onto for $i=i_0$, then $\mu^{\sharp}:\pi_{\mathrm{eq}}^i(Y)\to\pi_{\mathrm{eq}}^i(X)$ is a 1-1 correspondence for $i>i_0$ and is onto for $i=i_0$.
Moreover, the preimage of each element of $\pi_{\mathrm{eq}}^{i_0}(X)$ is in 1-1 correspondence with the elements of the kernel of $\mu^*:H^{i_0}(Y;\mathbb{Z})\to H^{i_0}(X;\mathbb{Z})$.
Here $\pi_{\mathrm{eq}}^i(Y)$ denotes the set of all equivariant maps $Y\to S^i$ up to equivariant homotopy. This statement, without the 'moreover' part, appears to be known. Becker and Glover in Note on the embedding of manifolds in euclidean space (1971) state it (without the 'moreover' part) and claim that it is well known from obstruction theory. But what about the `moreover' part: is it true? if yes, can you give a reference?

Small Objects
Keep your floors and tables free of small objects such as coins, rings, buttons, batteries, tacks, and deflated balloons. Small foods such as popcorn, raisins, nuts, and peas also have the potential to lodge in your child's throat, especially if he is under the age of one. Do not let your child eat or suck on anything, such as hard candy, especially when lying down. If you are in doubt about a certain food, do not give it to him.

BOSTON —A fiery crash on the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge has shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 93 and caused a huge traffic tie-up in Boston.
A car and a tractor-trailer were involved in a crash at about 5:30 a.m. in a northbound lane, and the truck caught fire. The Massachusetts State Police confirm one person has died.
The northbound side of Interstate 93 is closed, and traffic was backed up to Exit 23.
One southbound lane and the ramp from the Sumner Tunnel to the bridge were also shut down.
As of 8 a.m. the Zakim Bridge remains closed northbound and all traffic is being detoured at Exit 23 toward Government Center.

Dealing with Being Pregnant While Working
Daycare; self-care
Choosing a Daycare Provider
Choosing a daycare provider when you go back to work can be a nightmare. Take time with this decision and decide in advance what type of facility you want. An ideal situation is to have someone come to your home (i.e., a nanny), but good, qualified people are often difficult to find and can be extremely expensive. If you decide to go this route, make sure you use a reputable agency (if you use one) and do extensive cross-checking of the nanny's references. Most nannies are perfectly safe, but there have been enough cases of child abuse in the news lately to know that there are plenty of deviants out there.
The best alternative might be for a family member or friend to care for your child. But this decision also has positive and negative aspects to it. First, it's difficult to tell someone who is close to you how you want your baby handled. Feelings might get pricked or ruffled, particularly if that person thinks they know all there is to know about babysitting. And it could damage a long-standing friendship if you disagree about how the person handles your child or you are too critical of them. So, be sensitive and informed of the pitfalls before you take this route. And remember that your way is not always the right way, but simply your way.
Perhaps the most common daycare provider is a certified daycare provider, either in a home or in a stand-alone facility. These facilities should be monitored by the state, which can mean something or nothing, depending on your state and how proactive or overburdened they are. Here are some questions you might ask a potential sitter for your child:
- What is your philosophy of child rearing?
- Do you punish children? How?
- Do you separate infants from toddler and preschoolers?
- How long have you been in business?
- Could I see a copy of your state license? (It should be displayed in the open.)
- What kind of stimulation do you provide for the children?
- What is your schedule?
- For infants how often are they held?
- Who are the people you hire to take care of the children? How are they selected?
- What safety precautions do you have or plans for evacuation in case of an emergency or fire.
- May I visit anytime or drop in unexpectedly?
- Do you teach the children, for example, the alphabet or songs?
- Do the children go on field trips?
Your Mental Health and Guilt
Every parent who works feels guilty at one time or another. Here's my best advice: You'll just have to deal with it. Leaving a baby who is crying or ill is one of the hardest things in the world to do. Sometimes, you can take off work and use sick-time to stay home, but more often than not, you have to leave your baby and hope for the best.
The only way to get rid of guilt is to just give it up. It's not worth the time you waste on it.
The Absolute Minimum
As a working parent, you face obstacles and challenges galore when making your personal life and your job mesh two areas that are normally at odds with one another. Everyone will seem to want your time, from your boss to your baby to your husband. In the beginning, it's an extremely cumbersome juggling act, but have faith that everything will settle down as you adapt to your new baby, a new way of life, and a new schedule. Impose on your family and friends as much as possible for help and don't be hesitant about taking it. Your baby will be richer for it in the long run.
- Figure out your maternity leave in advance of the birth so that you are not surprised by unexpected glitches in pay or benefits or time off.
- If your husband can get paternity leave, great. If not, ask him to take off as much vacation time or personal time as he feels comfortable with in order to help you adjust to the baby and to give him some bonding time.
- You may be surprised to find that you don't want to return to work in the same way as before, meaning you might prefer part-time work. Investigate your options ahead of time, just in case.
- Shop around for a daycare center or babysitting options as early as possible. Drop in unexpectedly so you get a real sense of how the place is run and how they handle children.
- Take care of yourself mentally and emotionally by scheduling some time off. You are the baby's most important caretaker. Make sure you don't burn out with the pressure of working fulltime and being a new mother.

On Friday at approximately 3:15 p.m. EDT, Kentucky State Police Trooper Casey Wethington was on patrol in the Speck Ridge Road area of Taylor County when he was flagged down by a female.
She advised that her 7-year-old daughter was in the car, had just had a seizure and was not breathing.
Trooper Wethington immediately radioed to dispatch and called for an ambulance.
He then pulled the child from the car and began CPR, continuing until EMS arrived and took over the child's care.
The juvenile is currently in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Kosair's Hospital in Louisville.

Suppose I am using RSA for my security system. Now someone discovers find a polynomial time algorithm for RSA. Then what measure should one that such that RSA never breaks. Maybe large number of used bits or something else.
If it is proven that P=NP then this means that a polynomial time algorithm for breaking RSA exists. Finding that algorithm might be challenging, though. On the other hand, P could be distinct from NP and yet factoring could accept a polynomial-time algorithm. Integer factorization is not proven to be a NP-complete problem.
Moreover, "polynomial" is an asymptotic behaviour, which describes how the running time of an algorithm behaves on sufficiently large inputs. Nothing says that common RSA key sizes are "sufficiently large" for the asymptotic behaviour to be a reasonably accurate estimate of performance on these key sizes. Finally, "polynomial" does not necessarily mean "fast"; an algorithm with cost O(n12) (for a RSA modulus of n bits) would have cost 2120 for a 1024-bit RSA key, i.e. totally unachievable in practice.
That's the problem with reasoning on poorly-defined hypothetical scenarios: anything can happen, really. So the question cannot be answered, except by gut feelings. My own guts tell me that if a polynomial factorization algorithm is found, then it will probably be quite expensive for "normal" integer sizes, and use sufficiently advanced mathematics that we will have a few months or years before practical implementations appear, which should give use enough time to switch to something else (e.g. elliptic curves). But, of course, my guts are just digestive organs, good at breaking down food into nutriments; what do they really know about cryptography ?

The 6 Worst Games Ever Farted Out by Beloved Franchises
Producing sequels to classic game video games is one helluva balancing act. If you deprive gamers of sequels, you risk irrelevancy (hello, EarthBound). If you flood the market with shoddy crap, you'll ruin the brand (hello, Sonic the Hedgehog).
That balancing act means even the most beloved gaming franchises have farted out a trainwreck of a game once or twice in their lives. The results range from simply unplayable to laughably insane.
#6. Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game (1995)
The Classic Game
In Street Fighter 2, a motley gang of martial artists travel to exotic locales to vie for the title of The World Warrior. These fighters are far from conventional--they range from "man in white pajamas who shoots fireballs" to "man in red pajamas who shoots fireballs" to "Chinese woman with Warren Sapp's thighs."
The Crappy Sequel
In the early 1990s, Street Fighter 2 was such a mammoth success that it warranted the creation of five more games also surnamed Street Fighter 2. In 1994, Hollywood jumped on board and gave us Street Fighter, the movie, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and a "we can't believe he once won awards for his acting" Raul Julia as the main characters from Street Fighter 2, the game.
A definite step down for the visionary who soulfully portrayed Gomez in "The Addams Family" movie.
This all culminated in a game based on that movie called Street Fighter: The Movie. Yes, the game was called Street Fighter: The Movie where the movie was simply called Street Fighter. Which remember was based on the Street Fighter games. It was at this exact point that the Street Fighter phenomenon promptly looped around and blew itself.
Street Fighter: The Game of The Movie of The Game was released at a time when digitized graphics--a la Mortal Kombat--were all the rage, so it made sense to use real footage of the film's stars. The game's designers were savvy. Who wouldn't want a game in which you could repeatedly punch Jean-Claude van Damme in the grill?
If he's American, why's he have a Belgian accent - oh, fuck it. None of his movies explain this.
In theory, digitized graphics required programmers to film the actors on a green screen and then fluidly reanimate them into gameplay. In practice, digitizing made the street fighters look like alcoholic marionettes pooped out by MS Paint
Thus you wound up controlling actors playing the parts of the characters you controlled in the previous games. And the game played like the pasted-on imitation it was--the fighters were spasmodic shadows of their formers selves, as if you really were trying to with a fight with a remote-controlled Raul Julia.
It also didn't help that Blanka looked not like a bioelectrical jungle warrior, but rather that kid from Mask.
#5. Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (1994)
The Classic Game
An engimatic half-moon crescent consumes oblate spheroids until the heat death of the universe.
The Crappy Sequel
We expect certain things of our video game heroes. For example, when we play a Donkey Kong game, we've signed on for the big galoot throwing barrels, not pontificating on the finer points of Rimbaud and cunnilingus.
Similarly, when we play a Pac-Man game, we anticipate endless, godless labyrinths, implacably angry poltergeists, and a deluge of non-prescription pills the likes of which this planet has not seen since the Electric Ladyland world tour.
It's no coincidence that the most of the Xanax generation grew up playing Pac-Man.
And when you pop Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures into your Super Nintendo, well, you've volunteered to baby-sit a manic-depressive family man with limbs. Liiiiiiiiimbs.
Seriously, you don't even get the joy of playing as Pac-Man. You are instead an omniscient slingshot that must guide the Pacster through his banal daily tasks, whether it be milking cows or checking his mail. Unluckily for the player, Pac-Man is a moody little prick and it's your job to put up with his frequent spells of middle-class melancholia.
This is why we hate character development in video games. We dug Pac-Man in the 1980s. Sure, he was just a faceless pill-head, but he was our faceless pill-head. After witnessing the poor guy's psychological meltdowns in Pac-Man 2, we're willing to bet that those Power Pellets were Zoloft.
This looks vaguely familiar.
Also, why's he a harried husband? Going-through-the-motions marriage sex with Ms. Pac-Man doesn't make for an exciting game. This game would've been way radder had our hero been a model-bedding commodities broker or, hell, ex-NFL superdouche Adam "Pacman" Jones.
#4. Mega Man Soccer (1994)
The Classic Game
A good blue robot must kill nine evil robots. He then fights the same damn mad scientist. Spikes always kill him, and the futuristic soundtrack always sounds like it was composed in 1987. The games' cover art also used to be uber-prog rock.
Mega Man is the golden mean of video game franchises. The game's formula has remained essentially unchanged--and perfect--for the last 20+ years...
The Crappy Sequel
...other than 1994, that is, when Mega Man developers Capcom used robot-on-robot warfare as window dressing for a soccer match. Was this game a metaphor for mid-1990s futbol violence? Who cares? This game was violence against the human soul.
The game's premise is simple. Dr. Wily, the Mega Man series' perennial villain, has given up his goal of world domination. He is now seemingly content to dominate a single soccer stadium:
Instead of prancing about a small square room until Mega Man shows up, Dr. Wily's evil robots resign themselves to kicking a ball around a field until Mega Man shows up.
And instead of shooting Dr. Wily between the eyes and saving society the trouble of having to put up with him ever again, Mega Man opts to challenge each of his robot minions to tedious, crudely animated soccer match.
We suspect soccer hooligans invaded Capcom's HQ one weekend, designed this game, and choked to death on their own vomit. When Capcom's designers came back on Monday, they discovered some bloated, booze-soaked corpses and Mega Man Soccer. Capcom--not willing to look a gift horse in the mouth--released the game, only taking time to edit out the tits.

Complex interview
Little Dragon's lead singer talks Prince, her bad temper, and baby-making music.
This feature appears in Complex's June/July 2011 issue.
Swedish band Little Dragon is reportedly named after its petite Swedish-Japanese lead singer Yukimi Nagano's temper, and all of her fire-breathing moods are on full display with their third record, Ritual Union, out in July. Think '80s vintage Prince at his horniest, fronted by Björk, and you'll get an idea of the band's funked-up and odd sound. Sticking to their all-synths, no-guitar policy, the record is sure to be your sultry summer soundtrack. Or at least it'll be the shit your girl plays to explain why she's breaking up with you.
Do you even have ugly people in Sweden?
[Laughs.] I think everyone here is beautiful.
You've talked before about how Prince was a big influence. What do you make of him censoring all of his old dirty songs?
I have not really listened that much to his recent stuff. I didn't know that he stopped singing those songs, actually.
He's gone Jehovah, so he's not allowed to talk about sex anymore.
I think that's a shame.
What's your favorite dirty Prince song?
I don't know which songs are classified as really dirty ones, but I like "If I Was Your Girlfriend."
So does the name of your band really come from your bad temper?
It's a funny way to put it, but it sort of came out that way. It was something that the guys called me once in Sweden, and we liked it as a band name. I have definitely had my fits in the studio.
Little Dragon's music touches on a lot of different
emotions. What music would you put on in the bedroom when you're trying
to set the mood?
Not Al Green, that's too much of a cliché, but I'll probably put on something strong and weird. Some Brian Eno.
Has anyone confessed to conceiving a baby to your music?
Not necessarily confessed to that, but I have heard people say that their girlfriend called them up and broke up with them and played "Twice." I have heard more of that, actually, than people making love.
You have blood on your hands!

I was curious if anyone has a reference for a formula giving the values of n and k so that $\binom{n}{k}<\binom{n+j}{k-1}$ for a fixed $j$.
Clearly this will be true if $k>\frac{n}{2}$ because then one will have that $\binom{n}{k}\le\binom{n}{k-1}<\binom{n+j}{k-1}$. One can improve on this result, and in the case where $j=1$ I have found precise conditions on $k$ in terms of $n$, but my approach is rather blunt and it seems like the general case will be quite tedious using my methods, even though this seems like a question that likely has an elegant combinatorial solution. I was wondering if anyone knows where a solution appears.

John Hubbard recently told me that he has been asking people if there are compact surfaces of negative curvature in $\mathbb{R}^4$ without getting any definite answers. I had assumed it was possible, but couldn't come up with an easy example off the top of my head.
In $\mathbb{R}^3$ it is easy to show that surfaces of negative curvature can't be compact: throw planes at your surface from very far away. At the point of first contact, your plane and the surface are tangent. But the surface is everywhere saddle-shaped, so it cannot be tangent to your plane without actually piercing it, contradicting first contact.
This easy argument fails in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Can the failure of the easy argument be used to construct an example? Is there a simple source of compact negative curvature surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$?

You know why I pulled you over, don't you? That seat cover of yours is way over the posted Awesome Limit around here.
35 Comments add a comment
The 1980s called. It said to pick up some cheap gas while you're there.
Rock N' Ride just sounds like a baby seat for some reason... maybe its just me (for the record, I don't have kids!)
@iamjakex: I thought the same thing before I clicked it and then still asked the same question.
Why would I want two?
These will look bitchin' in my AMC Gremlin.
They took er job!
No car is complete without Li'l Wayne seat covers. I'm just sayin'. Especially at the awesome price of $24.35 each. Boom!
(WOOT DEAL POLICE OFFICER) "You know why I pulled you over, don't you? That seat cover of yours is way over the posted Awesome Limit around here."
("REAL" POLICE OFFICER) "I pulled you over for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs 'cause anyone driving with seat covers like those in 2011 is obviously impaired or needs a 72 hour psychiatric evaluation!"
GOOD NEWS! You CAN use the 'woot25' coupon code on any item. I tried it on some lighting accessories, and the shopping cart honored the 25% off. It's not buy 1 - get one 50% off... but it does give you a great 25% off.
@basileverstar: The 80's called? What an amazing opportunity to do some good. I certainly hope while you had them on the phone you remembered to warn them about the Japan and Indian Ocean Tsunamis, 9/11, Deep Water Horizon, the Haiti earthquake, and whatever other disasters you could think of. You will be a hero!
What? You just made fun of their seat covers? Eh, good enough.
@wootcompare: thanks! used it on a tire inflator. knocked the price down enough to make shipping $0.06
@rustybender: I was tempted to downvote you almost. But the Eh, Good enough made me chuckle. Enjoy it, I'm pretty sure you won't get many.
Ok, now I'm feeling a little embarrassed. When I saw this deal, I was like "OMG, this is AWESOME! It would be so cool to ride around with these in my Vibe". Then I read the comments so far, and I realize that I'm getting old. :-\ (But I am still considering a set...lol...just can't figure out which one to get!)
@myfester good news, the deal is for 2 sets so you don't need to settle for just one hair band seat cover set.
Those KISS Love Gun seats would be bad ass in my smart car!
You would need exactly the right vehicle for these to be ironic instead of sad.
WHAT???? No RUSH!!!
@m261152: I would NEVER even place Rush and KISS in the same hemisphere, let alone the same graphic. In fact, I feel dirty for having them in the same sentence. Thanks.
Musical Talent > Makeup
These aren't that bad, assuming you own a late 70's/mid 80's Camaro or Firebird that's been "Almost done" for the last 7 years.
@miketay89: Oh. wow! I though it was buy 1 seat cover, get the other 1/2 price. Didn't realize it was for 2 sets....Oh, and I felt better when my 17 y.o. said he wouldn't be embarrassed if I had these in my car (well, as long as it's AC/DC, Motley Crue, Skynyrd, or Priest)! I done raised that boy right! :o)
It's not for "2" sets, the deal is Buy 1 Seat Cover, Get 1 Seat Cover for 50% Off. Also, you receive an additional 25% your entire cart with the WOOT25 code.
@zackschumann - You got the "Hemisphere" part right.
@rustybender: best reply..ever
@wootcompare: I dont mean to get all mathematical on you, but 'buy one, get one 1/2 off' is the same as 25% off, isn't it?
Well, at least if you buy two it is.
Yes, especially if the car has the custom unfinished body work and primer spots with the rust showing through...SWEET! Maybe even throw in the Roadrunner cigar sticker on the left rear quarter panel.
@viciousspike: The reason places do buy 1 get 1 50% off is so that you HAVE to buy two items. Silly right?
These seat covers are very comfortable and contour my spandex almost perfectly!
These would go perfectly with a mullet.
These will make a great gift for the rock band collector - shout out to my Uncle Sean in Wichita...proud member of the KISS army! :P
@zackschumann They were on the same tour at one point. Rock n Roll makes strange bedfellows. :)
My friends would die laughing at me. It's almost worth it for a gag.
Do they have a Buddy Holly for my rat rod?
This is just what I need to set off my van!....this and a beanbag in the back.
Maybe some chloroform for the chicks
(was that out loud?)
"Diary of a Madman" was the greatest album ever made!!
Why the hell would I want it on my car seat though?
Free Bird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So these will fit my 93 Taurus right?

If yes, is it slower than regular questing?
Yes you can - it's perfectly possible to level from PvP. You will get experience from many activities from getting kills to capturing flags but the main source of experience will be from winning. This is especially the case when you're doing a 'Call to Arms' battleground as the experience bonus from winning a call to arms battleground will normally result in a full level or more at low level, and a large portion of a level at high level. This does mean however that queuing for specific battlegrounds will not result in the experience bonuses.
Regarding the speed of experience gain, yes - it is overall slower than questing, since you spend a period of time waiting for the queues and you're not guaranteed a win but if you end up with multiple wins in a row you will gain more experience than any other method of levelling during that period.
Your best bet is to do a mixture of questing while queuing for battlegrounds, although replacing dungeons with battlegrounds is generally more consistent in terms of experience gained.

For all those still running BizTalk Server 2004, they should be aware that the Microsoft Mainstream support will end this year (http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=2004&Filter=FilterNO).
One other point to remember about with the release later this year of BizTalk Server 2009 and according to all the existing documentation there is not a direct upgrade path from BizTalk Server 2004 to BizTalk Server 2009, you must first upgrade to either 2006 or 2006 R2.
Also for those still on BizTalk Server 2000 or BizTalk Server 2002 the migration to BizTalk Server 2009 is not supported, so you will also need to migrate to 2004, 2006 or 2006 R2 and then upgrade to 2009.
I will be presenting at the Melbourne BizTalk User group this Thursday night (5th Feb 2009) on Windows Azure and a 1st Look at Dublin.

I do 5 sets of 10-15 reps of pull ups using a 20lb weight vest. I'm looking to focus on strength and just ordered a dip/pull up belt to add plates. What's a good progression to add strength? Should I aim for 5x5 and increase weight until I can just about complete?
Physical Fitness Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for physical fitness professionals, athletes, trainers, and those providing health-related needs. Join them; it only takes a minute:
Sign up
Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The standard progression I've seen is to add weight once you can do fifteen or twenty unweighted. One then does three or more sets with added weight. One should be able to do at least five and no more than twelve reps--as long as the weight is within those bounds, it's the right weight. This keeps both volume and strength up. If you can't do five, reduce the weight. If you can do ten or twelve each set, add five pounds.
All numbers assume dead-hang, full range of motion, no kip, chin over the bar and hopefully chest touching the bar.

As a part of one assignment, I need to create of a character who is petty. His pettiness causes him (or her) conflicts with other characters around him (or her).
I am not quite familiar with this personal trait. I know petty people usually care too much about details, worry themselves with trivial things, but not much more. In my head I have an image of an old grumpy man, who doesn't have much sympathy for others and follows strictly his daily routine. I am not sure if I am on the right track. How to make a convincing petty character? What other characteristics are usually connected with pettiness?
As a part of one assignment, I need to create of a character who is petty. His pettiness causes him (or her) conflicts with other characters around him (or her).
"Petty" is making emotional mountains out of molehills. It's a way of being self-centered and having no larger perspective, and no empathy for others.
It's not being difficult for the sake of being difficult, but rather being difficult because one can't move beyond one's own concerns to see things from someone else's point of view, and doing this over every issue, no matter how small. It has no lock on age or gender.
Your character should be thinking, "No, I'm more important. My thing is more important. What I want to do is more important," in a whiny, childish kind of tone. The person should never say this aloud, but that's what's going on subconsciously.
I think that the image you have is only one aspect of pettiness. I would express that person as Grumpy Old Man, one of whose characteristics is pettiness.
I tend to associate pettiness more with younger women, being unnecessarily bitchy, pedantic, and for the purpose of being difficult and unhelpful.
To build this pettiness, it might work to have them connive and spend time doing something that is intended purely to hurt someone else. The reason is because the person was slightly rude to them. You might want to look at Gregory House, who can be petty in the extreme - although he is also a GOM.
Hello I can be petty at times but not in an intentionally spiteful way. More like I am not going to do something (normally of value) if I don't personally feel that the person asking has or will do the same favor requested for me.

It seems a lot of people say to smash or crush a clove of garlic before they cut it up. Why is this?
I've cut up garlic both ways, and I could see crushed being potentially a little easier to handle since it's flatter and doesn't roll as much.

I've cut up garlic both ways, and I could see crushed being potentially a little easier to handle since it's flatter and doesn't roll as much.
Contrary to what several folks have said, garlic is not crushed primarily to help peel the skin. For example, garlic can be peeled easily with the clove intact, by cutting the small hard circular bottom of the clove (the part that's attached to the base, opposite to the pointy end). This will help loosen the skin, which should then come off very easily or will separate if you gently slide the blade of your knife in and loosen it.
While it certainly is true that crushing helps separate the skin, making it easier to peel (perhaps some folks might do it for that reason at home), that isn't the reason why professional cooks do it or the reason why recipes suggest it.
Why crush garlic?
Garlic is primarily crushed to release its oils, which in turn infuses subtly different flavours to the dish than if you didn't crush. Joe's comment above explains the chemical reaction:
You might also find this article from the Washington Post, where the author talks about the art of cooking with crushed garlic in Italian restaurants, a really good read. Specifically, the author addresses some of these key points which are very relevant here.
1. Crushed vs. Minced
From basic physics, something that is broken up into several tiny bits has a much larger total surface area than the whole intact piece. Since the oils extrude from the cut surface, it stands to reason that minced garlic will release them sooner and readily, often leading to a more pungent taste than desired.
In addition, minced garlic can be quite temperamental and you might often end up over cooking/burning. As the author notes:
On the other hand, slightly crushed garlic is more versatile and heat tolerant.
2. Usage in dishes
Crushed garlic is pretty standard in several Italian dishes. The advantage of having one or two large crushed pieces (in addition to those mentioned above) is that you can easily remove them from the dish once you're satisfied with the aroma/taste of the dish. This can be extremely annoying to do with minced garlic.
Some of the dishes that are enhanced by using crushed garlic are:
What happens when you crush?
To answer why crushing garlic works, let me quote a bit from a good answer to the very popular question on chopping onions (since we all understand onions better):
Garlic, along with onions, shallots and leeks belong to the group of plants (genus) called Allium and being very closely related, the above is more or less true.
Indeed, it makes sense that if you want large volumes of oils/enzymes, you'd do exactly the opposite of the above advice, which is to crush it and break all the cell walls! This also aids in the mixing of the chemicals per Joe's comment above. Note that although a large volume is "released" or ready to be released due to the crushed cell walls, they make their way to the dish slowly because of the smaller surface area.
I smash it first to loosen up the papery skin, which makes it much easier to peel.
If the garlic is raw I find smashing to be the fastest way to "chopped", hit it with your meat tenderizer and then a few seconds with the knife and it is ready for whatever you want to do with 'chopped' garlic.
If the garlic is roasted, then smashing it turns it to a mush that is easy to spread.
For me it's more of a texture issue.
When I want the garlic to be crunchier, I chop it. When I really want it to melt into a dish, I smash it.
In either case, I tend to use so much garlic that there's plenty of flavor. :)
There are two reasons to smash garlic.
If you are using fresh garlic, it makes peeling really simple. Merely separate out a clove and smash it with your knife. The skin pulls away easily.
The other reason is it does make it easier to chop. If you going for finely chopped garlic. Smash it, and using a chefs knife you can now easily rock back and forth of the garlic to make it fine.
This is probably going to repeat what many others have said but:
Garlic comes in a papery outside cover that you need to remove before cooking (unless you're going to roast it). Otherwise you need to get the garlic free from this, which is best done by cutting off each end and slightly crushing the clove, so that you can remove the skin. Remove the skin, lay the clove flat,put the flat of a knife on top, and smash down with your hand to spread the fibres. It is then flat and you can chop it sideways across the clove to produce finely chopped garlic.
Garlic is a very complex ingredient, but its other ways of use are, I think, outside the scope of this question. Its effects depend on how it is chopped/sliced/crushed, where it is added and how and how long it is cooked - pretty well a text book in inself.

Dakota Wesleyan University has offered online courses for several years and has now created a digital learning initiative which will be led by Dr. Derek Driedger.
Driedger, associate professor of English and English department chairman, has been named associate dean of digital learning at DWU and will lead the university through its new online initiative.
"Dr. Driedger has a commanding sense of the evolving nature of higher education," said Amy Novak, DWU provost and executive vice president. "He immerses himself in the technology and examines strategies for using digital technologies to enhance classroom learning. Derek's goal-oriented leadership style, scholarly engagement and excellent integration of digital learning into his classes, has prepared him to assume this important role for Dakota Wesleyan."
Driedger has taught at DWU since 2007 in English, journalism and Core classes, designing and redesigning course curriculums, experiential learning exercises and service-learning projects.
"As DWU steps further into the world of digital learning with online courses and degrees, my role will be to oversee online curriculum, help departments design online-friendly courses and maintain university-wide consistency," Driedger said.
DWU already offers an online degree completion program for nurses who have earned an associate's degree in nursing and want to complete a Bachelor of Science in nursing, and a variety of other courses have been offered online as well. This fall, the university will roll out its Master of Business Administration – Strategic Leadership degree offered entirely online. In another year, DWU hopes to add a degree-completion program for adult learners, geared for nontraditional students who have some college education and are interested in completing a bachelor's degree.
About 35.3 percent of South Dakotans and 36.5 percent of Mitchell residents have begun but not completed a college degree, according to a 2013 Mitchell Area Development Corporation report.
"One of my main roles will be to set up general education courses for this degree-completion program to help them finish those degrees," Driedger said. "This is an exciting opportunity for Dakota Wesleyan to expand its learning opportunities."

Spring Fling!
Laguna Art Museum marked the opening of its spring exhibitions with a party attended by 600 art enthusiasts who mingled with the creative talent (Tony DeLap, Laddie John Dill, DeWain Valentine and Macha Suzuki, among them) and browsed the featured showcases (George Hurrell's Laguna to Hollywood, Allison Schulnik's ex.pose and John Mason's Blue Wall) while music from Laguna's own 93.5FM radio station set the mood. And, of course, the museum's permanent collection was there for all to enjoy, as well. Altogether, the soirée made for an artful salute to spring. Photos by Eric Stoner

BEREA - Phil Dawson's locker looked ready to host a Hawaiian luau.
Following practice, Dawson returned to his dressing area and found it decorated with a poster of two pink flamingos, inflatable parrots, flowered leis and the word "Aloha" draped across the front. After 14 seasons, the Browns' kicker made his first Pro Bowl.
Time to celebrate.

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE — Decorations adorn the dressing area of Cleveland kicker Phil Dawson Thursday in Cleveland. After 14 seasons, Dawson was selected to his first Pro Bowl, giving he and teammates a chance to celebrate during a time of certain change.
-- Associated Press
Might as well. There won't be much else to enjoy. Change awaits.
Following Sunday's finale in Pittsburgh, the Browns (5-10) are expected to undergo another radical makeover. That might begin with coach Pat Shurmur's firing after two seasons and could include general manager Tom Heckert being replaced. Although his fate seems sealed, Shurmur is doing all he can to keep his team focused on beating the Steelers (7-8).
Shurmur understands he hasn't won enough.
"Listen, I get this," he said Thursday, addressing the uncertainty ahead. "My concerns are for my team and making sure that we do all the right things during the game to give our guys the best chance to win. That's where I'm at. At some point after that, I'll begin to think about what goes on from there. I'm not worried about it."
It's more of the same for the Browns, who just two weeks ago were still in the playoff hunt. But a pair of lopsided losses to Washington and Denver and a slew of injuries pushed them to a familiar place - the brink of change.
During what may have been his final formal news conference, Shurmur reflected on what he and his staff accomplished with one of the NFL's youngest teams that includes 17 rookies.
"I think we've made improvements," he said. "Some may say not fast enough, but I think we've made improvements. I think we came into a less than ideal situation when we got here. Every situation is different and I'm proud of that. I'm proud of the work that the guys that I hired did in terms of inspiring the players to improve.
"We have not won enough football games and I know that's the way this things works, but in our situation I see improvement and I'll leave it at that. The rest of it, going in depth to all that, I think that's a discussion for after we play Pittsburgh."
New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner may have already decided to dismiss Shurmur, who is 9-22 with one game left. If he's fired, Shurmur will join Eric Mangini, Romeo Crennel, Butch Davis and Chris Palmer as coaches unable to build sustained success in Cleveland.
Browns return specialist Josh Cribbs can't take any more turnover.
"I hate that we rebuild every year," said Cribbs, who has been with the Browns since 2005. "It's not a good recipe for successful football."
Cribbs' contract expires after this season. He believes it would be a shame if Shurmur and Heckert aren't retained.
"A lot of people don't get a fair shake in this business, whether it be the quarterbacks or the regime," Cribbs said. "They came in during the lockout, now the owner decided to sell the team. It's just so unfortunate the way the nature of the business is.
"But I'll tell you one thing, we're geared up to win this last game, to give it our best shot because this win, a sweep of Pittsburgh would do a lot for this city and might do a lot for the coaching staff as well.
"Finishing strong is the biggest thing at this point."
The Browns haven't swept the Steelers in a season since 1988. A win Sunday would make the Browns 3-3 in the AFC North after going just 3-21 inside their division the previous four seasons combined.
Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson had hoped this would be the season where change wasn't necessary. However, he understands it may be unavoidable.
"With a new owner comes new changes and new obstacles, new challenges," he said. "I hope it's for the better, I hope so. Mr. Haslam, he seems like a passionate guy. He enjoys what he's doing and he wouldn't have bought this team if he didn't think about being successful doing it. Just because it's change doesn't mean it can't be a good change."

Armistice Day--the 95th anniversary
Two minutes of silence are observed in the UK at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month: November 11 when the guns of the Great War fell silent in 1918. The U.S. has renamed this "Veteran's Day," in honor of the fallen from all of our 20th and 21st century wars, but in the UK, World War I is still is considered the Great War. Here is the BBC story of today's observances.
Today is the 95th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the slaughter of the Great War. Very soon, 2014, we will be observing the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. Several books have appeared retelling the story of the events leading to the outbreak of hositilies in August 1914. I am currently reading Margaret MacMillan's The War that Ended Peace, and during the summer finished Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europse Went to War in 1914.
How did the war break out? It depends on when the authors think incipient hostilities began.
MacMillan plays up the Morocco crisis of Spring 1905; Clark begins quite precisely at 2 AM on June 11, 1903 when Serbian military officers carried out their plan to murder their monarchs, King Alexander and Queen Draga.
MacMillan is focused on English-German rivalty. Clark points to the impact of Serbia and the leverage that Balkan tensions played in forcing Russia, Germany, France and England to firm up what were loose alliances at the end of the 19th century.

Canada also observes Remembrance Day on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (today). And as children we all memorized the famous Canadian poem, "In Flanders Fielf" and wear poppies.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
The poppies seem to have disappeared from the U.S. observance. When I was a kid (in the last century), my mother and father always bought them from veterans to pin on their coats.
Same in Kansas City. Downtown. People sold poppies for Armistice Day. No more.
(And no more sellers of bittersweet, carmel corn, chances on punch boards, or tamales.)
Imho, the book to start with in remembering WWI, is Paul Fussell's The Great War and Modern Memory.
And the book to keep at hand during the five years of the centennial of the war is The Penguin Book of First World War Poetry.
Ms. Steinfels - taking a step back from precise or specific actions as the kindling to start WWI, would suggest that the context was the end of *monarchies* - some died a painful death; some were overthrown in revolution; some crashed of their own weight, corruption; etc. and the beginning of national democracies in the western world. Thus, you can find specific events that are attached to various western nations but the common theme is the end of each nation's monarchies.
This same context or *dynamic* is playing out now in the Middle East & Africa (Arab Spring) - some shifts such that we now have both monarchies and dictatorships struggling with national democratic movements (and these movements are much more cognizant of full rights for all religions, genders, etc.)
At some point, this same dynamic will impact the Far East e.g. China, N. Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, etc.
End of monarchies: How does England fit in? Not that I dispute your larger point about a shift in governance.
England was then, and had been for some long while, a parliamentary monarchy, with the monarch an important ceremonial and inspirational leader. The monarchies that fell durring (Russia) and after WWI were the ones that still had significant vestiges of absolute monarchism, and specifically those that tied the monarch to the military power structure.
Yes but...Germany had a parliament.
Bill de Haas: Is the underlying idea here that democracies don't go to war, but monarchies do?
When I go camping upstate on Memorial Day and other holidays, the VFW is at intersections collecting donations; they give you a little artificial poppy if you donate.
We all memorized In Flanders Field in 5th grade. And we had to read All Quiet on the Western Front in high school. I wonder if that's still recommended reading for high school?
My daughter in 8th grade is prcticing "Abraham Lincoln walks At Midnight" for Forensics; I think that is about WWI.
On Monarchs: From 1905 Serbia had a king, Peter I, who seems to have been under the sway of a more or less democratic government led by Nikola Pasic.
This one is rarely remembered, but should be:
ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH (Wilred Owen)
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells,
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,—
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
Source: The Complete Poems and Fragments of Wilfred Owen (1984)
Ms. Steinfels - no; point is that governance develops. Absolute monarchies led to WWI; led to nationalism (unfortunately, nationalist movements can wind up as republics, democracies, dictatorships, religious movements and too often continued colonialism). WWII led to the introduction of self-determination by peoples/cultures/nationalities and a questionning of dictatorships/colonialism. The impact of religion also plays a significant part in this development e.g. Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia in which religion is a tool to be used by dictators, even kings (Saudi Arabia). This last process is still being developed e.g. colonialism created governmental gaps in the 3rd world (those peoples have had to go through the same stages of developement but in the late 20th and early 21st centuries). So, in the Middle East, Africa, Central/South America - what the west experienced in the first half of the 20th century, is now being played out - nationalism struggles to find a stable government and swings from dictatorships (some using religion to justify their power); others wind up with different religious groups fighting for power.
It appears that the *charter* of FDR marked by self-determination, rights of human freedom, religious freedom, human dignity, etc. is still being worked out. Thus, you can roughly see a cycle in which nations seek to reach a democratic level in which a nation's governance is not identified with one religion; one ruler; one race or culture but allows a balance that is built upon the *freedoms* of FDR and the early UN.(that is why you see folks such as Clinton push for education as a part of foreign policy - until people are educated, there is a risk that power can be manipulated and used to dominate).
Not sure I buy your whole schema on what led to WWI. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia could be said to be absolutish, kind of, but England, France, Italy, Serbia were not. Yet in both MacMillan and Clark, Serbia emerges as a provacteur in the Balkan wars and obviously in the immediate lead up to the war--the assassination of the Archduke. France is keen for a return of Alsace and England is busy trying to maintain a balance of power among the continentals. Nationalism seems to be an incitement, sometimes provoked by leaders, sometimes spontaneous in response to perceived slights or losses.
It is interesting in MacMillan telling how many threats to go to war were in play a decade before 1914. But solutions were found and war did not break out. Did leaders expect the same outcome in the summer of 1914, or did the assassination turn out to be the last straw?
Could one parse that the negotiated settlements and compromises prior to 1914 and their breakdowns leading to more and other crises, finally led the major powers via contrived and overlapping alliances (that were used earleir as part of various negotiations to avoid war) with a spark (assassination) that at last pushed the whole complex into WWI.
If nothing else, the various books last spring/summer and the two works you cite along with the groundbreaking Tuchman Guns of August lays out how the public and secret alliances/promises eventually pushed each great power to the wall; left no wiggle room; and the *system* collapsed into war. Guess one can continue to drill down and try to identify the one *spark* but even then it is more complex than that.
Some years ago, I read Robert Graves' "Goodbye to All That," his memoir of World War I. He talked about how corrosive the practice of multiple deployments were, something that has been common in our current Middle Eastern conflicts with similar results.
My grandfather and two great uncles fought in WWI, though only Uncle Martin fought in the trenches. It wasn't until I read Graves' book that I understood why he could not talk about it. My God.

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo is ranked third for out-of-state students and 11th for in-state students in Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine's 2012 list of best values among the nation's public four-year colleges. The rankings cite four-year schools that combine outstanding education with economic value.
The annual list of the top 100 schools are available in Kiplinger's February 2012 issue and online.
"In tough economic times, Geneseo remains committed to providing the highest quality undergraduate learning experience possible, and our strong showing in the Kiplinger rankings validates that," said Bill Caren, associate vice president for enrollment services. "We continue to attract strong students and faculty to our campus who excel in many ways, and we are pleased that independent parties recognize the value of a Geneseo education."
Geneseo's current in-state tuition is $5,270 per year with total costs of about $17,200. For out-of-state students, the figures rise to $14,320 and $26,250, respectively.
"As states cut funding for higher education and tuition continues to climb, the word 'value' is more significant than ever," said Jane Bennett Clark, senior editor at Kiplinger's Personal Finance. "This year's top 100 public schools deliver strong academics at reasonable prices. We applaud these institutions for tightening their belts without compromising quality."
Student quality indicators abound at Geneseo. Four seniors received Chancellor's Awards for Student Excellence last May. This year's entering class had a mean SAT score of 1330 and a mean high school GPA of 94. More than half ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school classes.
Geneseo's faculty continue to receive accolades for their work. In the past three years, for example, 17 faculty members have received a Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Forty-two faculty members have received SUNY distinguished professorships since 1973.

Reforming divorce: Changing laws to preserve families
States consider divorce reform in attempt to preserve families
Associated Press
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of two articles.
Beverly Willett never wanted a divorce.
Even when her husband packed his bags and stomped out of the house, vowing to marry the woman he was having an affair with, she stood her ground.
For five years, she clung to the vows they had made nearly 20 years and two daughters before in the Madison Avenue Baptist Church in downtown Manhattan as her grandfather officiated.
Willett had hope because she lived in New York, which in 2003 didn't offer no-fault divorce — the last state to require that an individual prove abandonment, cruelty or adultery.
Willett had done none of those things, so her husband's suit for divorce was baseless. He later moved to New Jersey to file under no-fault divorce laws there.
Hounded weekly by lawyers, dangerously thin from stress and ultimately, deeply in debt, Willett finally gave in. By then they had been married for more than 25 years. "I learned that the legal system didn't really care," she told the Deseret News. "There was this whole system that had grown to effectuate family disintegration, not to try and hold families together. I was completely blown away by that."
The system began in 1969 when California passed the first unilateral divorce law that said one person could leave a marriage without the spouse's consent and without a specific violation. Within 15 years, similar laws had been passed nationwide.
Initially hailed as a progressive step toward greater individual rights and increased freedom for women, many scholars and marriage advocates now argue that unilateral no-fault divorce has made ending marriages too easy and too one-sided, with children most affected.
These advocates now hope to lower divorce rates through laws that slow the process — with some exceptions — and encourage couples who are waiting to use opportunities to improve communication and relational skills and hopefully reconsider.
Divorce-reform advocates are battling a cultural bias created by 40 years of legal precedent, concerns about increasing governmental involvement in private lives and the cost of seeking help. But they say this needs to be discussed to avoid more unnecessary pain.
"The divorce rate in this country is far too high," says David Bakke, a divorced dad from Georgia. "Many people jump into marriage hastily, realize they've made a mistake and look to divorce as an easy way out. The concept of marriage should be taken far more seriously — and anyone who has been through a divorce would likely agree. Whether or not kids are involved, divorce stinks. The toll it takes on you professionally and emotionally can destroy you if you allow it to. I seriously doubt people fully grasp this fact before getting married. I certainly did not."
The effect of divorce
When Pastor Jeff Meyers counsels troubled couples in his office at Christ Lutheran Church in Overland Park, Kan., he asks, "Do you want to be happier, more secure within a year, or even five years, or do you want to be miserable and regretful and destroy your kids' lives?"
The couple looks startled and responds, "Of course we want to be happy, secure and have a strong family."
"Then stay together," Meyers says. "Find a way. Marriage is not an illness; it's not something you need to be cured from."
A Lutheran minister with clinical counseling credentials, Meyers has devoted his life to countering the high U.S. divorce rate. In 1960, the U.S. Census said 1.8 percent of men and 2.6 percent of women were divorced. By 2011, it had jumped to 9 percent of men and 11 percent of women.
The divorce rate has slowed, but only because more young couples live together without marrying. In 1980, more than 1.5 million young adults cohabited; by 2010 it was 7.5 million.
