The loss was Fulham's seventh in 11 league matches and leaves them only two places above the relegation zone.
Their performance was described as "gutless", "embarrassing" and "woeful" by their own fans on social media sites and, including the final eight matches of last season, Fulham have won only four of their last 19 league games since April.
Jol's position under the club's new owner Shahid Khan, who did not appoint the Dutchman, is looking increasingly tenuous especially as Saturday's match was virtually all over as a contest well before halftime.
Liverpool scored twice in three minutes midway through the first half with a Fernando Amorebieta own goal preceding Martin Skrtel's header from a Steven Gerrard free-kick.
Luis Suarez continued his blistering from by making it 3-0 in the 36th minute and adding the fourth in the 54th, and there was never a hint that Fulham, who have only won once at Anfield in 32 league and cup matches dating back to 1934, were going to salvage anything from the game.
"It was a difficult afternoon. After conceding the first two goals it was almost impossible to get back in the game," Jol told reporters.
"We were not good off the ball - they played around us and we needed more toughness and aggression, which is what we did in the second half.
"The second half was not enough - you can't start like that and concede goals like that. But we are still up for the fight."
Jol also bemoaned his side's inability to transfer what they do in training to the pitch.
"We do everything in training and then we make the same mistakes. It was very frustrating, not only for the fans but for me and the team. I've got ambition and a mentality to win."
The victory, which lifted Liverpool to within two points of leaders Arsenal, who play at Manchester United on Sunday, left manager Brendan Rodgers purring about his side's performance.
He reserved special praise for Suarez, who has scored eight goals in six league games since returning from suspension.
"Our appetite for the game was outstanding. Luis Suarez is a star talent but his core ingredient is his workrate, which is something we're trying to have throughout the team," said Rodgers..
"He covers and presses and is a good talisman. Our quality was very good."
One man especially pleased by Liverpool's win was Hollywood actor Mike Myers, a die-hard Liverpool fan who said he was "speechless" for once before entertaining the Anfield crowd.
Canadian Myers, Dr Evil in the Austin Powers comedy film series, was guest of honour and added: "I think Liverpool have every chance of getting into that top four this year.
"When (Daniel) Sturridge and (Luis) Suarez get the ball you just don't know what's going to happen. It's old-school Liverpool," he said.

By Scott Burnside, Special to ESPN.com
Give Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs and GM Mike O'Connell credit (and we understand that's a hard thing for long-suffering Bruins fans to swallow), but they promised a new economic landscape would coincide with a push to bring the Stanley Cup back to Boston for the first time since 1972, and they've been true to their word. O'Connell originally thought he'd landed Mike Modano before setting his sights on Alexei Zhamnov but may be much happier in the end for the outcome.
Offense: Most important, O'Connell signed captain Joe Thornton to a three-year deal and made him a part of the rebuilding process. Last seen taking more than his fair share of lumps following a first-round flameout against Montreal in the spring of '04, Thornton appears ready to take that difficult step from teenage prodigy to elite leader. Certainly Thornton has the strongest supporting cast he's ever had in Boston, both in terms of skill (Zhamnov, Glen Murray, Sergei Samsonov, Patrice Bergeron) and grit (Brad Isbister, Dave Scatchard who is out week to week with a groin in jury, Travis Green).
This team will be able to play it any way you want -- rough and tumble and fast and furious. The key for Thornton is to continue to produce at a high level offensively, as well as develop the strong two-way game that has defined proven leaders like Steve Yzerman, Mats Sundin and Joe Sakic.
Defense: If there are questions about the Bruins' place among the elite in the East, they surround the blue line. Does Brian Leetch still have the mobility to enjoy the new open game? How long will it take to bring defensive anchor Nick Boynton under contract? O'Connell shot down rumors that he'd deal Hal Gill to make room under the cap for Boynton but something will have to give.
Goaltending: O'Connell managed to get defending rookie of the year Andrew Raycroft under contract before too much of training camp had passed. It set up an interesting battle for the backup position between Tim Thomas, who excelled in Europe last year, and Finnish prospect (aren't all goaltending prospects Finnish?) Hannu Toivonen, who played well for Providence in the AHL last year.
YES If Raycroft doesn't take a step back and Samsonov isn't hobbled, the Bruins will challenge the Flyers for supremacy in the East. Patrice Bergeron is wiser and adds to an already impressive offensive arsenal.
If Raycroft sputters, there's little NHL experience behind him in Toivonen and Thomas. If the defense starts to spring leaks, the pressure mounts on Thornton & Co. to outgun opponents (and on O'Connell to sign Boynton).
Sergei Samsonov. Plagued by headaches during his lockout season in Russia, the talented Samsonov reported to camp only to be laid low by a back problem. A possible unrestricted free agent next summer, his health will be an ongoing issue.
The challenge for coach Mike Sullivan isn't necessarily producing points, but instilling a winning attitude. The Bruins have topped the 100-point mark twice in the last three years, but have been dismissed in the first round each of the past three seasons.
Ending up with Alexei Zhamnov instead of Mike Modano. Modano has the pedigree, but Zhamnov is going to bring more to the table. He gives the Bruins great depth down the middle and will be able to supplement the scoring if Thornton hits a dry spell.
Not being able to lock up Raycroft and Boynton early in camp. What the long-term ramifications of this will be aren't yet known, but certainly the Bruins will need Raycroft to be sharp from the outset and missing camp time is never a good way to start. And Boynton's absence will have an unsettling ripple effect the longer it goes.
Joe Thornton, C
Thornton led the team with 23 goals and 50 assists in 77 games.
Andrew Raycroft, G
Raycroft, the rookie of the year in 2003-04, posted a 29-18-9 record and 2.05 goals-against average in that season.
"We think we're being very fair with respect to what we've offered and that's it."
— O'Connell on Boynton's holdout

It happened to the record industry first. While popular music had long been available on radio, it could be argued that a true music industry as we know it today didn't arise until the 50's and 60's when distributable media and players became widely available. To summarize – you bought your music on record, then on 8-track, then on cassette, and then on CD once again. Sounds very much like a 'cartel', or "association of suppliers with the purpose of maintaining prices at a high level and restricting competition". Record companies (not artists generally) held the content and the means of distributing it to us the passive consumer.
But that's where technology turned. CD drives in computers plus early sharing software like Napster meant that instead of getting good at mashing the pause button on your stereo so recording to cassette stopped before the adds kicked in, you could rip a whole CD to MP3 in minutes and upload it for anyone who was also connected to the net. You could also bypass the record stores entirely by downloading songs, for free. It meant you didn't have to buy your music a fourth time in some other format – you now controlled the file. No it wasn't legal, but it was what the people wanted.

suzanne is right. When I worked in Family Planning our Dr and Midwife used to have women wait for 6 months after discontinuing hormonal contraceptives before attempting to get pregnant. She would have them use a barrier method like condoms for that first 6 months to allow the hormone levels to return to normal and allow all the contraceptive to be eliminated from the body before a woman begins to try to get pregnant.

Development History
Though originally Windows-only, SecureCRT was ported to Mac OS X in 2010 with version 6.6, and subsequently ported to Linux in 2011 with version 6.7.
SecureCRT is a follow-on to a program called CRT which originally spoke only Telnet and rlogin. CRT first shipped in 1995 for Windows 95 and Windows NT. The modem and serial communication features came in later versions of CRT. SecureCRT was a premium variant of CRT, adding support for the SSH and Telnet over SSL protocols. The two programs were offered in parallel for many years, but eventually CRT was dropped from the product line.
SecureCRT is made by Vandyke Software in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Two St. Petersburg roommates are in the hospital after a late night fight ended with one grabbing a bat, the other a gun. The fight happened just before 4 a.m. at 8201 36th Avenue. According to St. Pete Police, the whole fight started when one roommate, an unidentified male in his 20s, brought home a female guest. The man then went to bed, leaving her unattended in the home. His roommate, an unidentified man in his 40s, became upset. "They got into an argument over that situation, which escalated into one subject being battered with a bat and the other being shot," said St. Pete Police Lt. Nathaly Patterson. The older man hit his younger roommate with a bat several times. At some point the argument spilled into the street and the younger roommate fired a hand gun at the man eight times. It is unclear how many shots struck the older man, but St. Pete Police say he was shot several times in the upper torso. Neighbors, awoken by the sound of gun fire, say the three people appeared strangely calm as they called 911 and waited for help to arrive. "While waiting for police there was no arguing or heated discussion between the men and the female," said a neighbor, who did not wish to be identified. "He sounded very calm." Both roommates were taken to the hospital for treatment. The shooting victim underwent surgery at Bayfront Health. Both are expected to recover from their injuries. No arrests have been made but St. Petersburg Police say charges are pending an investigation.

If you have a breathing problem because of the shape of your nose, or you simply hate the way your nose looks, you may be considering going to a Rhinoplasty surgeon. Going to a Rhinoplasty surgeon may turn out to be among the best decisions that you have ever made. However, one of the most important things that you have to do when you are considering Rhinoplasty in London is ensure that you are dealing with a surgeon who is fully qualified for the job. When you find the right surgeon, there is a very high likelihood that you are going to get the quality services you are looking for. When you land into the hands of someone who is not qualified for the job on the other hand, it's not only your nose that will be at risk, but your health in general. Fortunately, the are a few things that you should do that will help you find the right person for the job.
Search online
Start by searching online for the most reputable Rhinoplasty surgeons. When you start your search, you will definitely come across many surgeons. However, not all the surgeon that you are going to find online are capable of providing you with the services you are looking for. You should try to find as much information as possible about each of the surgeons that you find when you search online. You are more likely to make a good choice when you have adequate information about the Rhinoplasty surgeons that you find when you decide to search online.
Talk to family members and friends who have sought the service of Rhinoplasty surgeons before
Do you know anyone who has sought the services of a Rhinoplasty surgeon before? This can be your relatives or friends. You should not hesitate to talk to them so that they can tell you about their experiences and the surgeon they went to. If they loved the services they received, they will definitely want to refer you to the Rhinoplasty experts that they dealt with. You should also ask them for their before photos so that you can judge for yourself whether a quality job was done. Talking to family members and friends is one of easiest ways that you can use to find a reliable Rhinoplasty surgeon.
Read reviews from people who sought the services of a given Rhinoplasty surgeon before
What do other people who sought the services of a given surgeon when they needed Rhinoplasty in London say about the services they received? If there is a lot of positive feedback, it is obvious that a given surgeon provides high quality services. You should raise your red flag when there are a lot of negative reviews. If most people who went to a given surgeon before are dissatisfied by the services they received, there is a high likelihood that you will not be satisfied as well. Stay away from a Rhinoplasty surgeon who did not satisfy most of the people who came to him/her before.

Coming Soon: TIA Discount Shipping Program
The Tennis Industry Association announces a new member benefit program with PartnerShip®, the company that developed and manages the TIA Discount Shipping Program. The TIA Discount Shipping Program will save TIA members substantial dollars on all their shipping needs—inbound, outbound, small, large, and tradeshow.
"Retailers routinely receive shipments of equipment and apparel that include shipping and handling charges from their suppliers," according to Harry Centa, Program Manager for PartnerShip. "Now, instead of suppliers adding shipping costs on their invoices, owners and operators can be billed at their TIA negotiated rates through the TIA Discount Shipping Program."
The TIA Discount Shipping Program will allow you to save on select FedEx® services for all your express packages, ground packages, and small-package residential delivery service. TIA members with an existing FedEx account will also benefit by enrolling in the TIA Discount Shipping Program. PartnerShip will ensure you're receiving the optimum shipping discounts available.
Members will save at least 70% through PartnerShip on the freight shipments you send and receive with several leading national and regional carriers.
"We are excited to be able to deliver the TIA Discount Shipping Program to our members," says TIA Executive Director Jolyn de Boer. "This discount program will help facilities, retailers, court contractors and manufacturers all save a substantial amount of money on their shipping costs."
Remember, use your association services first; the TIA Discount Shipping Program will help support TIA tennis growth initiatives.
Complete TIA Discount Shipping Program information and enrollment details will be available in mid-November 2010.

Start at the beginning (Book 1) otherwise it has no continuity. I like the fact there are so many linking descendants in these books and the history that is attached to every one of them.
Charlotte is brought up in poverty. When her father dies she discovers that he was the Earl of Chelmsford living in hiding because of disgrace in his past. Charlotte is the heiress to his title and one of the richest women in the country.
Charlotte soon becomes disillusioned with the vacuity of Victorian high society and devotes herself instead to working among the poor. Meanwhile she is torn between her love for two very different men, the Duke of Southport and the missionary Dr Anthony who assists her in her charitable work. Who will capture Charlotte's heart?
After reading the two preceeding books, The Poison Tree and The Abyss, which are very dark and foreboding, I was pleased and surprised to discover the very hopeful tone of this book. The main character, Charlotte, comes from such a very narrow life with her father and develops in a totally believable way into a strong woman who believes in making a difference - and the author has managed to still keep Charlotte totally understandable as a woman of the early Victorian era. I really dislike period fiction that has the female character thinking in too-twenty-first-century terms, because it's jarring and unrealistic. Charlotte's transformation is highly personal, and very realistic. I've read a lot of novels written in the mid-1800's, when this book is set, written by authors who were contemporary to that time, and this, I believe, is one of Ms Harrod-Eagles's strengths - she is able to get into the mindset of the people of those days. I love all the characters, all the turns that the story takes. Each book in the series seems to become better and better. I do highly recommend the entire series. Although some of the older books can be difficult to find, I've been able to get them all through Amazon - some on Kindle, some in paperback or hardback form. I very much look forward to reading the next book.

Well, this is gonna be a pointless review now that the whole series has improved so much. The skillage of animation was much better in ep. 2 so you guys really got your act together, it's just a good thing I watched that one first. I hope ep. 3 turns out to be PWNinating. And, I sorta just randomized the score, don't really take any thought about that.
MikeRat awaaaaay!!!!
Where are you going?
It was nice. It kept me watching until the actual end of the episode, which is something in its own. I gave you an 8 for sound because of the better-than-Newgrounds voice acting, and for that porn riff from Clerks. The animation was adequate. The main problem was that it just wasn't that funny, which is bad if you meant it to be. I don't really like incessant swearing in cartoons unless it's used for a reason, which it wasn't in this case. And is it just me, or did those two characters seem drab, latently homoerotic, and ultimately generic? Come on, if you're serious about this, then do it right. Give us characters with redeemable qualities. And for our sake, don't do half assed voice overs next time; put some feeling into it.
You may be wondering why I'm writing such a long review. Well, it's because you need it, and because this will most likely get responded to. That is all. Have fun touching yourself at night, I know I will.
Nice catch on the Clerks riff. Ya, the swearing served the purpose of a lame pun... I personally don't swear that much so look forward to not much from me. I drew the characters from us... so I guess we are generic people? I don't know i have two different colored eyes.. heh. you should like the other ones better though, checkm out. New one by the end of this week probably.

More Information
Chapter 1: Industry titan Joe L. Davis Sr.
Published: Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 12:18 a.m.
America's lean 1930s taught a young Joe L. Davis a valuable lesson, one that would chart the course of his long and prosperous life. Disastrous to so many, that decade was a bright spot for Florida citrus. It was a time when the last of the true citrus barons, Ben Hill Griffin Jr., started amassing his fortune. It was a time before Mickey Mouse, when thinking about Florida meant dreams of Indian River oranges, not of Walt Disney World. Back then, a citrus grower, even one with only 40 acres, could raise a family of four and still afford to send the kids to college. "When I was growing up during the Depression, I noticed the people who had those little groves had a new car," said Davis, a feisty, pleasantly sailor-mouthed octogenarian. "That's what made me want to get into citrus: The people who had groves always had money."
Photo Galleries
For 200 years, oranges defined Florida.
Oranges are the state fruit, orange blossoms the state flower, orange juice its official beverage. Few cities in the state are without a street named "Lime" or "Grove" or "Valencia." Florida law even prohibits disparagement of oranges.
But at the beginning of the 21st century, Florida citrus is under assault in ways once unimaginable.
Brazil, with cheap labor and abundant land, surpassed Florida years ago as the world's top grower and provider of concentrated orange juice. Now the Sunshine State is No. 2.
Development has eaten up hundreds of thousands of acres of groves, especially during a real estate boom that drove up land values 80 percent. Though prices have come back down by a third, today's lousy economy has even made its way into the groves: Box prices have fallen more than 50 percent this season, putting them at the break-even point -- or below.
Disease might be the foremost threat today. Citrus greening is a tree-killing disease for which there is no cure. Greening is chewing through nearly all of the counties that produce citrus for the commercial market, including Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte.
Davis has lost 40,000 trees -- or a little over 300 acres -- to another disease, canker, which took 13 percent of his crop. The stormy onslaught that began with 2004's Hurricane Charley toppled thousands more.
He replanted every one. Davis will always replant as others give up, sell out, move away.
At age 85, Joe L. Davis is the embodiment of Florida citrus, one of the closest things to a citrus baron left in the industry.
For years he has farmed the state's flatwoods, the Lake Wales Ridge, or anywhere else he could get oranges to grow. He served three times as the chairman of the Florida Citrus Commission. He helped name the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando. He hunted turkeys in his groves with late Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles, a lifelong friend.
Old Florida oozes from Davis whenever you talk to him -- his Cracker take on the English language, his sun-worn skin, his warm and welcoming manner, treating a newcomer like a dear old friend.
"Florida and citrus: When you put the two together it excites people," Davis says, standing in one of his largest groves on a fine November afternoon.
A light breeze blows the trees, loaded with huge Valencias, the sweetest and most profitable juice orange.
A child's gleam sparkles in his bright-blue eyes. Despite decades of hardship, Davis says, quite convincingly, "You are looking at the luckiest person in the world."
But Davis knows that the citrus industry is in the fight of his lifetime.
Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon brought Florida its first citrus in 1513 while he was looking for the Fountain of Youth. He planted orange trees around St. Augustine.
The first bonafide groves were created in the 1820s, one in St. Augustine and another near Tampa.
Freezes in 1835 and again in 1895 were the catalysts for the first of many industry shifts to the south, with its warmer, more tropical weather.
In the late 1800s it was not juice that ruled the citrus industry, but fresh fruit sent out of state.
Oranges and grapefruit were traditionally wrapped in paper and packed in old boxes or flour barrels for shipping. A Palatka businessman designed and built the first custom-made boxes for oranges and grapefruit. Other packers followed.
Packing houses were built with abandon, most along the 300-mile Lake Wales Ridge -- Florida's spine -- where the higher elevations and sandy soils are prime for growing.
Orange juice, made from the uglier fruit that would not sell, was merely a by-product.
Some growers did not even bother squashing the unsightly fruit, preferring to feed it to their cows. Farmers kept a greased broom handle handy for when oranges got stuck in cows' throats.
It took more than 400 years from when the first orange arrived in Florida to figure out how to freeze the fruit's essence so it could be remade.
In the early 1940s, the National Research Corp. of Boston set out to create an orange juice powder. The Army had placed an order for 500,000 pounds to help keep troops healthy.
The Army later canceled the order, but NRC scientists nonetheless made a breakthrough. In the middle of their powdering process, when heat was used to dissipate water, an orange goo was formed. Heated to 200 degrees then quickly chilled to 32 -- this was the birth of frozen concentrated orange juice.
Consumers nationwide went nuts for the cylindrical 6-ounce tins of Florida sunshine.
It was called "Minute Maid" to reflect its ease of use. A new company was born, and eventually an entire industry.
Oranges are remarkable.
Medical researchers have identified compounds in a citrus peel called flavonoids and limonoids that are being manipulated to fight diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, allergies and viruses.
Mom, of course, always knew lemon juice eases the pain of bee stings.
Orange oil, produced in the tiny glands of the peel, is composed mostly of a magical compound called d-Limonene. It can be used to strip paint, preserve wood, clean grease from machinery, remove stains, dissolve waxes and plastics, make things stick together, repel dry wood termites and even replace Freon.
Because of its distinctive citrus smell -- more lemony than orangey -- d-Limonene is also used in hand cleaners and perfumes. But be careful: The aerosol form of the compound can burst into a ball of flame.
Food-grade d-Limonene, a kosher-certified flavoring, is used to help create molasses and the pectin used in jams, jellies and sore-throat lozenges. Other peel compounds go into candles, aromatherapy, antiseptics and fragrances.
What is left after those oils have been extracted -- peels, seeds, membranes and leaves -- is often bought as cattle feed. Sometimes the goop is dried and made into pellets. Other times the wet and smelly remains are trucked wholesale to pastures and dumped in piles to slowly dry as the cows munch away.
It is juice, however, that is the backbone of today's huge industry: orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, tangerine.
More than 95 percent of the oranges grown in Florida go to juicing plants, and even though frozen concentrate has fallen out of favor with American consumers who prefer the fresh stuff, global demand remains gigantic.
Davis' start was not in oranges, but rather in strawberries, the ones his parents grew on their 20-acre homestead during the Depression. He and his siblings sold them door to door, even bartering them away.
When he turned 30, Davis bought his first grove. He did so well that he bought another and another, always keeping the Cracker tradition of naming them after the person he purchased them from -- the Henderson grove in Hardee County, the Smoak grove in Highlands, the Coca-Cola grove in Polk.
Today the Davis family owns more than 364,000 citrus trees in 40 blocks of groves in Hardee, DeSoto, Highlands and Polk counties. They are some of the most productive in the region, with the best trees producing 1,000 oranges, or five 90-pound boxes of fruit, every season.
The "box" is the standard unit of measurement for oranges. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's crop predictions every year are in the odd unit: the 2007-08 orange crop finished at 170.2 million boxes, up 32 percent from the prior season. The 2003-04 season was the big daddy, at 291.8 million boxes.
In October, the USDA predicted Florida would produce 166 million boxes of oranges during the 2008-09 harvest that has just begun -- a 2.5 percent decrease from last season's bounty.
During his long life, Davis has spent as little as $500 and as much as $20,000 an acre for groves.
A good grove is high and dry, near a main road and close to town. In other words, a location a home builder might want someday.
That is some day after Davis is done with it. A day when his grandchildren or great-grandchildren might want to, or even have to, sell.
If Davis were to part with his holdings now, he would pocket at least $25 million.
But that is not going to happen anytime soon.
He loves growing, riding the land alongside his son, Joe L. Davis Jr., watching the wild turkeys forage for bugs, the birds loop and dive over the tree tops.
Back when the government still ripped out a 3,800-foot-circle of citrus trees around a single one infected with citrus canker, Davis lost a fortune.
That seemingly insignificant circle encompasses about 300 acres. With 140 trees per acre, just the lost annual fruit costs Davis tens of thousands of dollars. Then there is the expense of replanting all those trees. They will take years to bring a return on investment.
Davis takes it in stride.
"The citrus business revolves around one disease or the other," he says, standing smack in the middle of one of the replanted areas, which is reminiscent of a crop circle in some English cornfield.
The void seems a lot bigger in person than from the air.
"I can't imagine us having any kind of disease we can't work with. It may alter the way we farm, but I can't imagine it putting us out of business."
Joe Jr. is now running the groves day to day.
"He loves it just as much as I do," Davis says. His son -- a 57-year-old lawyer and former president of Florida's Natural Growers and former chairman of the Southwest Florida Water Management District -- nods in agreement. "We want to grow as long as we can."
Disease, freezes, hurricanes and pests have left their mark, but they have yet to make a dent in the Davis family's passion.
"It seems we go from crises to crises," the elder Davis says. "That's the way it is about farming. You just never know what you are going to get."
With a wink and a smile, he adds, "At the end of the day, you still have the land."

On Monday morning, I was on BBC Radio Wales to talk about the Labour Party leadership contest and the travails of the party in general. In brief: Corbyn will win, the party is sexist, and can we all stop pretending that being "opposed to austerity" is a meaningful thing please.
The Spectator | In the Darkroom by Susan Faludi
In 2004, after a 25-year estrangement, Susan Faludi's father reappeared in her life via email. 'I have had enough of impersonating a macho aggressive man I have never been inside,' it read, and was signed, 'Love from your parent, Stefánie.' The 77-year-old had embarked on a new life as a woman, both a dramatic abruption and the continuation of a biography full of reinvention. He was born as a Hungarian Jew called István Friedman, survived the Holocaust thanks to a talent for imitating Nazis, adopted the name Faludi to show he was '100 per cent Hungarian', and later settled in the US, where he became Stephen Faludi, archetypal 'American Dad' and, as a photographer, a master manipulator of images.
In 2014, Stefánie Faludi died, and In the Darkroom is a memoir of the fraught reacquaintance between father and daughter. It's also a record of Stefánie Faludi's extraordinary life, and an unsettling interrogation of that modern obsession, identity. 'Who is the person you "were meant to be"?' asks Faludi. 'Is who you are what you make of yourself, the self you fashion into being, or is it determined by your inheritance and all its fateful forces, genetic, familial, ethnic, religious, cultural, historical?' Primo Levi asked If This Is a Man. Faludi looks at her father Stefánie and wonders, is this a woman? Is this a Jew? Is this a Hungarian? How much of the thing we call a self is truly negotiable?
New Statesman | Is Labour ready to elect a woman as leader? The evidence suggests not
There's going to be a lot of argument over the next few months about who can win Labour's leadership election. Bit it's also worth talking about who loses. In 1994, it was Margaret Beckett. In 2010, it was Diane Abbott. In 2015, it was Liz Kendall; second last was Yvette Cooper. The 2015 deputy leadership election was lost by a man, Ben Bradshaw; however, Angela Eagle, Caroline Flint and Stella Creasy were all steamrollered by Tom Watson in the end. In 2007, Harriet Harman narrowly won the vote for deputy leader – but she lost anyway, because Gordon Brown decided not to appoint her deputy prime minister. As Angela Eagle launches her bid for the Labour leadership, one of her lines is: "Labour is ready for a woman leader". It's certainly time that Labour had a woman leader. But looking at Labour's track record, it's difficult to find any reason to believe that the party is ready.

New Statesman | Jeremy Corbyn is a risk the middle-class can afford to take
I know I'm middle class, because the day I needed to claim benefits and burst into tears because the queue was too long and I knew I would be going home without the money to pay the overdue electricity bill, the security guard took me aside and told me that if I came back early the next day, someone would be able to see me. I know the family in front of me were not middle class because the buggy they were pushing was a lesser brand than the one I was pushing, and because they were smoking, and because they had strong Sheffield accents, which I heard when they started to remonstrate with the security guard about the special treatment they (rightly) suspected I was getting. I hurried away, their threats to give me a good slapping echoing behind me.
Short story | The Boy Who Cried Fire
In 2013, I took part in Den of Eek – Den of Geek's annual horror storytelling night in support of cancer charities. The theme was urban legends, and my contribution was heavily inspired by just having moved house (the creepy teddies are still in my real-life basement now).
I moved house a few months ago. Of course, it was exhausting – they say it's more stressful than losing your job or being bereaved, and it's even worse if the idiots you buy the house off decide to leave you with all their crap to sort through. There were skiploads of it. I don't think the cellar had been touched in decades. There were all sorts of things down there: mouldy chintz curtains, chests of drawers with broken legs, and these creepy looking teddy bears tumbled in the dirt, like someone had been playing with them. They were so horrible, I couldn't even touch them. I think they're still there.

Literary Review | The Bed Moved by Rebecca Schiff
The last story in Rebecca Schiff's The Bed Moved has a hint of defensiveness about it. It's called 'Write What You Know' and it begins, 'I only know about parent death and sluttiness.' Is that really all she knows? Seventeen of the twenty-three stories are written from the point of view of young, American, middle-class, female writer-types. Two are written third-person, one of which is archly called 'Third Person' and concerns a protagonist named Rebecca who has a lot of casual sex. Several have a teenage girl as narrator: one can readily imagine each of them growing up to be a young, American, middle-class, female writer-type. Rangy is not quite the word here.
This all suggests that Schiff is lacking in imagination. She isn't. The best story here is 'Rate Me', a five-page dystopian tale where the narrator's body parts are sent to a company for 'rating' and sent back, improved. 'My vagina couldn't break five', she says balefully. 'When I got my vagina back from them, rated, irradiated, they'd put it in a satin box with a note telling me that I was now eligible to dine with other top-rated members.' Like Janet Frame at her bizarre best in 'Solutions' or 'The Mythmaker's Office', an everyday truth – here, that women are objectified, alienated from their bodies and then convinced to pay for their own mutilation – is refracted into visible form. It's disturbing, knife-sharp and, most of all, funny.

Under the terms C.R. England will pay $3 million to settle all claims raised in a lawsuit against federal "truth in leasing" regulations, including attorneys' fees and costs. The settlement was agreed to in June and its approval was only recently announced by the group through the website of its publication Landline magazine.
The settlement covers all owner-operators who leased equipment and services to carrier from June 2, 1998, through May 15, 2006, which includes approximately 7,000 drivers.
The case was filed in 2002 by the association and three members.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Police are investigating after a Sears
employee was nearly cut with a box cutter when a man tried to
escape the store with merchandise.
Police spokesman Officer Ron Wallace tells the Press-Register in
a Friday story that 19-year-old Brandon Lambert was charged with
first-degree robbery.
He said Lambert walked through Sears around 5:30 p.m. Thursday
collecting merchandise in his pocket.
He then headed toward the door with his pockets brimming and a
43-year-old employee tried to stop him. Wallace said Lambert then
pulled out a box cutter and slashed the employee's shirt but
neither was hurt in the scuffle.
Lambert was arrested at the store and the merchandise was
returned. Wallace said he did not know what was taken.

He felt mighty dexed while looking out of his broken out hotel room window, gazing at the microwave and desk lamp in the lawn in which he had just thrown out.

|we just went to this route the first of september and this crack is completely filled with bats and the foot high pile of guano at the base. Not disgusting, kinda cool, but enough to keep you off the climb. are bats in this crack a yearly thing or just seasonal cause I was really looking forward to this climb?

|I'm not sure if the bats are seasonal, but we climbed it on 1/24/15 and there were no signs of bats.

Had a group climbing 4/10/2016. No bats that we could see.
Great crack lead climb, working the overhang takes a bit, but worth the work.
