Hi everybody. Swiss Army Librarian has been out of commission for a couple a months, but now is almost back to normal. I should be able to start with new posts again next week, but if you're interested in the details of what's happened since The Crash, read on.
In the middle of April, the server that hosts swissarmylibrarian.net crashed. It also turned out that the server had not been performing successful backups since August 2013. We had hoped that some of the August-April data would be recoverable, but it wasn't. Too bad.
My friend Chris, who runs the server, rebuilt with all new hardware, and now has gotten WordPress reinstalled along with all my posts from before August 2013. And happily, he found an alternate source for the posts since the last backup (his RSS reader's archive), but it was text only - no images. I'll work on adding those in as I can find them.
In the meantime, WordPress needs all the recent updates installed, and then I'll be back. I (really) enjoyed my two-month vacation from blogging, but I'm happy to be back too. Thanks to all the well-wishes and offers of support - I truly appreciate it.
And the moral of the story: just having a back-up service isn't enough - you need to make sure it's really backing everything up.

Gwen Stefani in Paige Paloma Leggings
The insanely amazing Gwen Stefani was caught on her way into the studio in Santa Monica, California. She wore a pair of Paige Paloma Leather Leggings and was carrying a denim jacket. I wonder if that is also Paige?
I already knew what these were when I saw them. They are not my favorite pair of leathers (not too keen on two-tone piecing/fabric), but I still think they are cool, especially on Gwen. She can wear anything and still look amazing. If you can pull off a pocketless pant with a shorter length shirt without problems, I think you can pull off a lot. You can click here to purchase these pants from the Paige website for $299.
Gwen Stefani in Paige Polka Dot
Gwen Stefani got snapped by the paps as she was attending the Coldplay concert which was held at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California a couple of days ago.
Gwen wore a pair of Paige Denim Polka Dot Verdugo jeggings in Faded Black with a beautiful Kelly Wearstler Rio Obsidium jacket in Magenta. I adore the new Polka Dot washes from Paige, I think they are so fun, yet girly at the same time! What do you think of polka dot jeans? Buy these online at Black Label Boutique for $189.

Gwen Stefani in J Brand
Gwen Stefani was spotted out to breakfast with son Zuma in Studio City, California. She wore a pair of the J Brand 801 jeans in Twisted Plum. Gwen seems to be a fan of the tie-dye jeans with knee-high boots. She was spotted wearing it a couple of times before recently.
I really like the dying on these jeans. They look very celestial, especially this wash. I hope to see her (or someone for that matter) in the Twisted Tiger Eye pair. Those would have to be my favorite of the three Twisted jeans. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the J Brand website for $198.
Gwen Stefani in J Brand
Gwen Stefani was spotted on her way into the studio in Santa Monica, California. She wore a pair of J Brand Jodhpur pants in Vintage Stallion. This is such a great outfit.
I just love Gwen's style. She has one of those bodies (and persona) that just looks great in everything and I mean everything. I don't think there is anyone that would be able to pull off those Jean Paul Gaultier denim harem pants like she can, I don't even think Rihanna would be able too and she wore the overalls version. Click here to purchase J Brand jeans from their website.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Beginning today, new chapters of Hajime Isayama's blockbuster manga Attack on Titan will be available in English on comiXology and the Amazon Kindle Store the same day they're released in print in Japan.
Chapter 80 went on sale this morning on the digital platforms, along with all previous chapters of the dark fantasy series.
Retailing | After opening its first physical store in November in Seattle, online retail giant Amazon is reportedly planning hundreds more. The news came from Sandeep Mathrani, CEO of real-estate investment company General Growth Properties, who revealed Tuesday in an earnings call that, "You've got Amazon opening brick-and-mortar bookstores and their goal is to open, as I understand, 300 to 400." An Amazon spokesperson told Gizmodo the company doesn't comment on "rumors and speculation." The retailer's Seattle store, called simply Amazon Books, stocks between 5,000 and 6,000 titles. [The Wall Street Journal]
Best of the year | Amazon lists its Top 20 graphic novels of 2015 in order of sales, but the editors chose The Sandman: Overture Deluxe Edition by Neil Gaiman and J.H. Williams III as the best graphic novel of the year. Other notable titles include Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine DeLandro's Bitch Planet, Scott Snyder and Jock's Wytches, Noelle Stevenson's Nimona, and Kate Beaton's Step Aside, Pops. Amazon also included Victoria Jamieson's Roller Girl, and Marika McCoola and Emily Carroll's Baba Yaga's Assistant in its lists of the best children's books of the year. [Amazon]
Comics | Wayne Bell says his new comic book ISIS: A Culture of Evil, is a valuable tool to tell stories of atrocities the media won't cover: "It's factual, it's accurate, it's the real deal, and unlike a TV program it absolutely goes to the bone quick." Some veterans who were shown the book weren't so sure, though, especially as it looks like a coloring book; they felt the medium wasn't appropriate for the message. [CBS St. Louis]
Retailing | Online retail giant Amazon will open its first brick-and-mortar store this morning in Seattle's upscale shopping center University Village. Called simply Amazon Books, the store features between 5,000 and 6,000 books, from bestsellers to Amazon.com customer favorites. "Amazon Books is a physical extension of Amazon.com," Jennifer Cast, vice president of Amazon Books, said in a statement. "We've applied 20 years of online bookselling experience to build a store that integrates the benefits of offline and online book shopping." As The Seattle Times notes, the opening arrives with a dose of irony: For years Amazon has been able to undercut most other retailers largely because it didn't have any physical locations. [The Seattle Times]
Awards | Noelle Stevenson's Nimona has made the shortlist for the National Book Awards, only the third graphic novel to make it that far. At 23, Stevenson is apparently the youngest NBA finalist ever. Nimona is based on an idea Stevenson began toying with in high school and developed into her senior thesis at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She started posting the comic online, and a literary agent spotted it and signed her on. "I don't know if I actually expected anything to come from signing with an agent — I assumed I'd self-publish, like most webcomic creators did," she said. "Then my agent called me when I was in the middle of a class critique to tell me that he had sold it to HarperCollins, and that was that." [Comic Riffs]
Nearly 10,000 people have signed an online petition demanding Amazon remove a bootleg T-shirt with the slogan "Keep Calm and Kill Your Teacher," inspired by Yūsei Matsui's popular manga Assassination Classroom.
Debuting in 2012 in Weekly Shonen Jump, the supernatural comedy-adventure centers on a class of misfits devoted to killing their new teacher, an alien octopus with incredible powers who has just destroyed most of the moon and is threatening to do the same to Earth.
Manga | Is former manga powerhouse Tokyopop coming back? Once the largest publisher of manga in North America, the company stopped publishing new manga in 2011, but didn't go bankrupt and never really went away. Tokyopop is selling many of its "global manga" titles digitally and in print, on demand, and it 's planning panels at both Anime Expo in Los Angeles and Comic-Con International in San Diego. On his blog, CEO Stu Levy drops a few hints, saying he's "rebuilding" Tokyopop. [Tokyopop]
Digital comics | Rob Salkowitz analyzes the latest news from Amazon and comiXology and suggests there's more to the story than meets the eye. While fans may view the renewal of Marvel's deal with comiXology as a story about a digital comics service, Salkowitz says it's really about bringing comics to the mass market through Amazon: "Kindle isn't Amazon's platform for reaching comic book readers. It's Amazon's platform for reaching all readers. comiXology counts its revenues in millions. Amazon counts its revenues in billions. Moving these titles from a superior specialty app to an inferior mainstream app isn't a big deal for existing fans but it's a huge potential expansion of the market." [ICv2]
Graphic novels | The National Arts Council of Singapore has withdrawn a $8,000 publication grant for Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, a biography of the Singaporean comics pioneer that depicts some tumultuous events in the nation's history. "We had to withdraw the grant when the book The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye came out because its sensitive content, depicted in visuals and text, did not meet our funding conditions," said Khor Kok Wah, senior director of the literary arts sector of the NAC. He did not specify what the "sensitive content" was, but the book makes satirical references to Singaporean politics and history. The publisher, Epigram, will return the $6,400 that was disbursed already and will cover the NAC's logo on the book cover with a sticker. The book will be published next year in the United States by Pantheon. [Straits Times]
Amazon and Hachette Book Group announced today they've brought their bitter, months-long dispute to an end with a new multi-year contract that will allow the publisher to set its own ebook prices.
"This is great news for writers," Hachette CEO Michael Pietsch said in a statement. "The new agreement will benefit Hachette authors for years to come. It gives Hachette enormous marketing capability with one of our most important bookselling partners."
Although details of the agreement weren't revealed, the new ebook terms will take effect early next year; however, the companies said they'll immediately resume "normal trading." Amazon similarly reached a new contract last month with Simon & Schuster.
Reminding us that the holiday-shopping season is closer than we think, the editors of Amazon.com have announced their Best Books of 2014, which naturally includes comics and graphic novels.
Roz Chast's graphic memoir Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, a National Book Award finalist and winner of the inaugural Kirkus Prize for nonfiction, we selected best in the category; the list is organized in best-selling order.
Amazon's long-rumored plans for a brick-and-mortar store appear to be materializing in Midtown Manhattan — possibly in time for the holiday-shopping season. Or maybe they're not.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the online giant is set to open a location at 7 W. 34th St., across from the Empire State Building, that will serve as a mini-warehouse, with limited inventory for same-day delivery, product exchanges and online-order pickups, as well as a distribution center for couriers. The newspaper's sources cautioned those plans could change.
However, The New York Times questions whether we'll see an Amazon store "any time soon" at that location, noting the retailer is taking over the entire 12-story building for what construction and real estate executives contend will be offices and a distribution center.
Publishing | The latest BookScan numbers reveal June was a good month for manga in bookstores, with eight volumes of Attack on Titan making the top 20 — a new record. The first volume topped the list, which means new readers are still discovering Hajime Isayama's dark fantasy. Overall, manga had a slight edge, with 11 titles, and all three volumes of Saga were on the list, but only one volume of The Walking Dead. And despite the Amazon-Hachette battle, the Yen Press title Sword Art Online: Aincrad made the chart. [ICv2]
Publishing | ICv2 and Comichron's John Jackson Miller joined forces to calculate the size of the entire comics market, including the direct market, bookstore and digital channels, and both single issues and graphic novels. Inevitably some things get left out, such as subscription services, sales to libraries and the juggernaut that is the Scholastic Book Fair, but it's a good snapshot. The bottom line: $850 million in 2013. [Comichron]
If you're searching for some summer reading, Amazon's Best Books of the Year So Far For 2014 is a pretty good place to start.
Led by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla's Afterlife With Archie: Escape From Riverdale, the Comics & Graphic Novels division is as diverse as you'd probably expect, with entries ranging from Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta's East of West to Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki's This One Summer to Roz Chast's Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?
Retailing | A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order halting the $21.4 million purchase of retail chain Hastings Entertainment by Joel Weinshanker, president and sole shareholder of Wizkids parent National Entertainment Collectibles Association. The order was granted at the request of two Hastings shareholders who sued to stop the sale, insisting the price paid for the retailer is too low; it will remain in effect until a hearing can be held on June 12. Hastings issued a statement Monday pledging to "vigorously dispute these claims." Hastings operates a chain of 149 stores that sells books, comics, video games and more. [Amarillo Globe-News, via ICv2]
Retailing | Amazon may be charging full price for Hachette's graphic novels as part of its continuing contract dispute with the publisher, but Barnes & Noble has leaped into the breach with big discounts and a buy-two-get-one-free promotion on Hachette's Yen Press manga and Little, Brown's Tintin books. [ICv2]
Nearly two months after Amazon announced the purchase of comiXology, the first title from the retail giant's Jet City Comics imprint has debuted on the digital comics platform.
Wool: The Graphic Novel, an adaptation of the bestselling sci-fi novel by Hugh Howey, will be serialized in six biweekly issues beginning today on comiXology for $2.99 each. The full run is also available for $4.99 on Amazon.com as a Kindle Serial, with new issues arriving on the same schedule; comiXology will offer a $4.99 bundle once all six installments have been released.
A dark, dystopian story set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, Wool was published in 2011 by Howey as a novelette through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing system. As it attracted a following, he wrote more installments, which became the bestselling Silo Series. The graphic novel is written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray and illustrated by Jimmy Broxton; a print edition will be released in August.
Amazon launched its Jet City imprint in July 2013, intending to serialize its titles for the Kindle, and then offer bundled digital editions and print collections. Naturally with the acquisition of comiXology in April, the distribution channels expanded.

Ex-San Diego mayor faces money laundering charge
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A former San Diego mayor is facing charges of laundering at least $10,000.
Details of the charges against Maureen O'Connor are not publicly available ahead of a hearing today in San Diego federal court.
O'Connor was the Democratic leader of California's second-largest city from 1986 to 1992. The two-term mayor was elected San Diego's first female leader after eight years on the City Council. She was married to Robert O. Peterson, founder of the Jack-In-The-Box restaurant chain.
Lead prosecutor Philip Halpern has declined to comment. He is the chief of the major frauds and special prosecutions section for the U.S. attorney's office in San Diego.
O'Connor's attorney Eugene Iredale didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment.
Oh no ! Another Demoncrat who feels entitled. Who would have guess that? I'll bet she only gets a slap on the wrist for this offense too.
Wow, corrupt politicians not just in Y'town, amazing it happens everywhere. Bet that shocks a few of you.
This happens in just about every big city run by democrats. They just can't keep their hands off the peoples' money. But they always need more. Mostly for the children of course!!

Notes to correspondents
Note to correspondents concerning questions about the 2012 Human Security Report
New York, 11 October 2012
The report highlights the need for deeper, evidence-based research and rigorous analysis on the serious scourge of conflict-related sexual violence. Because of the shame and hidden nature of this crime, data collection on conflict-related sexual violence remains a challenge. There are ongoing efforts, however, to improve consistent and comprehensive reporting.
What we do know is that there is overwhelming evidence that rape has been and continues to be used as a weapon of war – Rwanda during the genocide was a case in point, and so was Bosnia and Herzegovina, where rape camps were established. More recently, there have been incidents of mass rape in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
We welcome research on sexual violence in conflict, because we do not yet know enough about this phenomenon. And we cannot effectively prevent what we do not adequately understand.

My husband I decided very, very last minute to go to the courthouse and get married. I had only a few hours to find a dress, flowers, shoes and a room (huge suprise for my husband) so we could celebrate. When I called the AmericInn I was surprised to hear the hotel manager (Tiki) answer! Tiki was very helpful and courteous. She even gave us a discount on our room to congradulate us on our marriage, which was very surprising for any hotel and for the fact we made a same day reservation.
I arrived to check in before I met my husband at the courthouse and was welcomed with warm smiles and greetings. Again to my surprise, there was Tiki . When the reservation was looked up, Tiki became almost as excited as I was about suprising my husband. She even helped me tie the ribbons on the champane glasses I brought and got a bucket of ice to chill the champane. I proceeded to the room which was a TWO room suite! With so many extras-whirlpool in room, fridge, microwave and hair dryer (just to name a few) I changed into my dress and received oohh's and aahh's when coming down the stairs. (Which made me feel like a princess!) I rushed off to the courthouse.
When my husband and I returned to the hotel, we were greeted with applause and congradulations galore! (If they had rice, they would've been throwing it, I'm sure!) We went up to as blushing newlyweds.
Thank you so much for exceeding my wildest expectations from any hotel. You definately raised the bar and then hurdled a million miles over it! A very special thank you to Tiki, you really saved the day!
Heidi and Joshua Weyker
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Just 3 miles from the heart of Stillwater, we have a historic downtown area filled to the brim with exciting shopping and one-of-a-kind dining including several award winning restaurants. The St. Croix River has opportunities for a Paddle wheel boat dinner cruise, boat and jet ski rentals, canoeing and also scenic walk along the banks on our system of hiking and biking trails.

I felt dirty, ashamed and too scared to look at the jury... But this was my one shot at justice: The day I testified against the stepfather who raped me from the age of six
- Tina Renton was sexually abused by her stepfather from the age of six
- Brought her tormentor to justice after doing law degree 17 years later
- David Moore was sentenced to 14 years in jail after she testified against him
As the trial approached, the nightmares I had suffered for years became more traumatic.
They were always the same: that I was trapped and no matter how loud I screamed, no one would help me.
The worst was the cave. It was dark and wet with lots of under-water tunnels teasing me as escape routes, yet I'd always run out of air and have to turn back.
What were my dreams telling me? To turn back from the looming court case? I'm not bloody giving up now, I thought.
Brave: Tina Renton, pictured aged 27, finally got justice after she plucked up the courage to testify against her abusive stepfather
It had been a long struggle. But, despite my lack of formal qualifications and the exhaustion of bringing up two boys, I had hauled myself through a law degree at the University of Essex – and pressed charges against my stepdad.
Finally, in June 2011, David Moore was facing as many as 17 counts of rape and sexual assault.
I knew what a courtroom looked like, I knew where the jury sat and, most importantly, I knew where I would stand to give my evidence. It didn't stop me being nervous.
On the first day, my friends Mark and Jemma acted as my bodyguards, flanking me as we walked up the steps to the dingy-looking Crown Court in Southend and I got my first butterflies as I was led to a room at the back.
My barrister, Mr Shroff, told me he would walk me through my statement so the jury would get the full picture of what I had suffered at the hands of my stepfather. He said Mum and my brothers would all be giving evidence.
'And David?'
'Yes, David Moore will also take the stand,' he explained.
I felt sick.
'Have you claimed for criminal compensation for what happened to you as a child?' Mr Shroff continued.
'No, I haven't. I have no intention to, I'm not going to and I don't want to,' I fired back. My goal was never to make money, I wanted my stepdad to pay.
'Tina Renton to court number two,' the loudspeaker blared.
I could feel my heart in my mouth.
A hushed silence fell over the courtroom as I walked in. I had a special screen to protect me from the gaze of Moore.
Long journey: Tina Renton who was repeatedly raped by her stepfather, David Moore when she was a child and finally brought him to justice last year
Only the judge, the jury and the legal team could see me, but I still felt like someone had stuck my face on a billboard in the centre of London. I was too frightened to look at the jury.
My legs turned to jelly and I grabbed hold of the 5in-wide shelf that ran around the inside of the witness box. Beads of sweat were running down my back.
Thank God none of my family was in the gallery; they weren't allowed to watch until they had given evidence. And thank God for the screen, which meant I couldn't see my stepdad's face. I could feel him in the room, though. I could almost smell his Old Spice aftershave.
Mr Shroff cleared his throat. 'Can you just give the court your full name, please?'
Paedophile: David Moore sexually abused Tina from the age of six
'Tina Janet Renton.'
'How old are you, Miss Renton?'
'Thirty-six,' I said, lifting my head so the jury could see me.
It had been 30 years since he first laid a hand on me.
Mr Shroff then asked me how the abuse first started and I suddenly felt hit by a landslide of pressure. I had one shot, one chance to get justice, and I couldn't let my nerves get the better of me.
He probed for my early memories: how I
had been touched, where, what with.
I'd only ever spoken about the detail of what my step-father did to me with Julia Godfrey [the child-protection officer who brought the prosecution] and now there I was, telling a room full of strangers.
A single tear as hot as acid rolled down my face. I felt dirty. Ashamed. Humiliated.
'What conversation was there between you and your mother after you told her what had been happening?'
It was 12.40pm when Mr Shroff asked me that question. The time is imprinted on my mind. 'She told me she believed me,' I said.
'But she was also concerned that we would lose the house, that without him we wouldn't be able to pay the mortgage.'
'How did you feel about being told this?' Mr Shroff looked concerned.
For a moment I couldn't speak. I'd been dripping with sweat.
'I was upset because I didn't want to be responsible for putting everyone on the streets,' I said, forcing the words out. 'Because I felt it was my fault.'
Sadness exploded in my chest like a grenade.
'But she told me the decision was mine.' I burst into tears.
'And what was your decision?' Mr Shroff dug even deeper.
'To let him come back,' I sobbed. I just wanted to hide.
I was so distressed, I couldn't breathe. David needed help, he was a sick man. But what my mum did was in many ways worse and it's the hardest thing I have had to cope with in my life.
'Lunchtime, Mr Shroff.' The judge had come to my rescue. The usher opened the witness-box door and I nearly collapsed.
Things were different in the afternoon. David Moore's defence lawyer, Mr Brown, walked on to the floor like a cockerel before a fight: his chest puffed out and feathers splayed. I was terrified.
Haunted by her past: Tina Renton at the age of 15 in 1990, when she was sleeping under lock and key so her stepfather wouldn't be able to get into her bedroom at night
He went straight for the jugular: 'Can I just make the position clear to you that I do not accept that you ever spoke to your mother about your stepfather sexually abusing you,' he said. He stated that my stepfather never abused me sexually or physically at any time.
I felt much braver the second day, and kept my cool. I could have gone home and rested, but there were some people I wanted to see – and thank. My schoolfriend Sam, the first person I'd told about the abuse, was going to be taking the stand. As was Mrs Walsh, the first teacher I'd told.
Sam came to see me in the witness
room. We chatted about our schooldays. There was a knock on the door.
'I've got someone here who wants to see you,' said the usher, smiling. Sam and I looked at each other like the naughty schoolkids we used to be.
It had been 20 years, so I was
expecting a weathered 60-year-old lady to appear. Mrs Walsh didn't look a
day older than when I had known her.
Her hair was still neatly parted like a curtain and flicked up at the ends. Her eyelashes still looked like spiders' legs because they were glued together with thick black mascara. It felt surreal, as she walked over and greeted me with a warm hug.
Fresh start: Tina on her graduation day at Essex University where she gained a 2:1 in law
'Thank you so much for coming down to give evidence. I really appreciate it,' I said. Her bottom lip quivered. 'I'm really sorry I failed you,' she said.
I'd promised myself I wouldn't cry again but I couldn't help it.
'You didn't fail me, the school failed me. So don't blame yourself,' I said through my tears. 'Why did the school never do anything?'
'I don't know,' she said, and shook her head. 'I followed the procedure, which was to tell the next senior member of staff. I told the deputy head.'
'And she didn't do anything?'
She lowered her eyes to the floor. I smiled because I didn't have the energy to tell her what I was really thinking.
The following Monday, Mum and David Moore would be taking the stand.
Behind the smile: Tina Renton, pictured in her home in Rainham, Essex in 1998
I imagined him, with his bald head and
sideburns, with a thin film of sweat glistening above his upper lip.
Julia had asked if I was going to be there, but I wasn't strong enough, knowing everything that was coming out of their mouths would be lies.
Instead, I waited for Julia Godfrey to tell me how it went.
'David Moore has given evidence and so has your mother,' she told me on the phone.
'Did my mum get upset?' I had to know.
'No, she came across as quite cold.'
I knew it. She never loved me.
'How about David?'
'David didn't show an ounce of emotion,' she said.
'What nothing? Anger? Sadness?' I gasped.
'Nothing. He hasn't shown any emotion through the whole thing. Not when he was arrested, not when he was interviewed, not when he was charged.'
I couldn't get my head around the fact that he didn't show a flicker of guilt for taking away my childhood.
The jury went out for deliberation on the Wednesday night.
'Try to prepare yourself that he might be found not guilty,' said my aunt Gayna – who by now was the only family I had left.
Gayna was right to warn me because the jury didn't come back with a verdict the following day. Or on Friday morning.
He's getting 'not guilty', I thought. They wouldn't be taking so long if they thought he was guilty. I was with Gayna and watching my mobile as if it were a bomb about to go off. Then, at 2.30pm, an unidentified number flashed up.
'Are you on your own?' Julia asked.
Oh God, bad news, I thought.
'No, I'm with Gayna.'
'We've got a verdict.'
Tears of relief exploded out of me.
Final justice: How Tina's ordeal and triumph after she was able to put her childhood tormentor behind bars
'There's more,' said Julia.
'What do you mean?' My heart stopped.
'He's also been sentenced today.'
'Already?' I gasped.
'The judge said after watching you go through the trauma of giving evidence he didn't feel there would be any justification for pre-sentencing reports.'
'So how long?' I was expecting one, two, maybe three years. All I wanted was for him to pay for what he did.
'Fourteen years.'
The air was whipped out of my lungs. 'Fourteen years,' I whispered to Gayna, shaking in disbelief. She grabbed my arm before my legs buckled.
Fourteen years was longer than some murderers get these days. It was amazing. It was justice.

Although inundated with numerous arseholes, every now and again along comes an arsehole who distinguishes himself to such a level that he actually raises the bar for arseholes everywhere. It's a tough gig indeed, but someone's got to do it, and when it's done to heights of this magnificently impressive magnitude it does not deserve to go unnoticed. Step forth Floyed Thursby – new-crowned King of the Arseholes.
In the series of messages below, you will see how self-confessed sex addict Floyed becomes increasingly irate as he reads his way through my blog and finds his habitual paid access to females' vagina's challenged.
Now let's not be too tough on poor Floyed – there is the recognition of a skill to be observed here. It is not easy to raise the bar of arseholery given the proliferation of that particular talent in this world. To you Floyed – thank you for the entertainment – and to everyone else: Welcome to THE FLOYED THURSBY DIARIES!!!

"I think it's ridiculous to claim all prostitutes are victims. Plenty of women would rather have sex for an hour than work 20 or 30 hours making lattes and sandwiches and change and mopping. You get a whole two free days. Or you pay for college, 8% of women born to the bottom 20% in the US end up with a degree compared to 73% of the top 20%, so some want to sacrifice to move up a class and have more income, some want time for art, some choose, yes choose, to do drugs. You will always have some women who like sex and some women are offering this to men they know and find reasonably attractive others will see anyone. Some women offer it to an ex boyfriend or boss or rich guy they know as an arrangement. Now if women are paid horribly, many will do it for little, but even in a society with no drugs, good education, universal health care, people like easy money. If it gets to a certain price, women will choose it. Women in California make 200-300 if attractive for an hour, vs. $10 at minimum wage. At 500, many more would step in. At 1000, over 25% and an economist showed at $4000, half of women would do it. If the world is starving it would be $50. So let's be realistic. Men enjoy sex and can't get it and everyone enjoys money. You chose to do this, and being bitter is silly. You can work minimum wage and go to night school and take 10 years to get a degree or just live at a lower income. You chose to do this. Maybe you were trafficked, if so pimps and those forcing you should go to prison, but consenting adults, women and men, should be free. Prostitution will always be with us. Women go out and have casual sex with the small number of guys who are misogynistic flashy assholes. If the rest want sex, they often have to pay or go long periods without which is unhealthy. These are the facts, and they are undisputed."
Floyed Thursby
I will be choosing a particular favourite line from each post. The winning line here is:
"These are the facts, and they are undisputed!" (Floyed forgot to add an exclamation mark, so I helped him out with that)
Received on April 25th, 2015:
This whole thought process is an outgrowth of the religious idea of sex being an act of men victimizing women by sex, not enjoyment. Women charge for sex because they can and because it's better than homelessness and you can make in one hour what you could make in 20, 30 or more. Men pay because only about 10% of men can consistently get one night stands and some men who have hard jobs or want to hang out with friends or have hobbies find girlfriends overly controlling and appeasing them to keep their sex life alive depresses them and makes their life less enjoyable. Sex is economic, in relationships women use it to control men. Men don't hate wome; women consider 86% of men on dating sites "below average" and men see hot women on TV having sex all the time but in reality the average woman sleeps with 8 guys in a lifetime and they are mostly reserved for men all women want. Simply put men are told to fantasize about sex with a hot woman constantly, on TV radio, billboards books, even in public where women dress provocatively for attention, movies, the Internet, etc., but most can never enjoy that unless they pay. Men need sex, simply put. If women need it, the average woman can just go out to a bar and get sex any time, any place. If they couldn't, some women would sometimes pay men, but they don't have to. Some lesbians pay women because they have to. Women claimed in the '60s they'd be like men about sex but they aren't, they put men through a lot to get it and don't even consider the vast majority of men at all. Eventually those men marry and get pussy whipped to the point where you don't recognize them. Some men would rather pay 200-300 for a model than go on 3 dates with an average woman for a maybe, and believe me 3 dates is not a guarantee, more like 50/50. Women make excuses to avoid sex and don't seek it out as an exciting thing. A high percentage of women would rather make 200-300 in an hour and study, do art or relax all day, I've come across lethargic prostitutes who are hot but like to sit around all day and do it with a guy all day. Sure, no one wants strange penises, but no one WANTS to make lattes, mop, make change and make sandwiches for money they can barely survive on. If you don't want to do it, don't, men don't have this option, but more men become homeless and commit crimes and go to prison. If you don't want to do it don't, and if you're trafficked tell the police, but don't try to make all men feel guilty becuse YOU chose to sacrifice sex so you could live comfortably and have a lot of money. Many women want to do this and so do many men. Dating is qute frankly nearly harassment these days, and futile, and I'm a good looking guy with a good job. I get sex with 2-3 women a year by dating and they are average and I try to get in relationships and they put me through hell. I'm not going to have a horrible girlfriend for sex, if they try to control me I dump them and if I'm desperate, I spend 200-300, and I can tell you, most of these women choose to do this for the money and some enjoy it. Some are very low volume. I see a woman from the bar who does it with one guy a day after work to save money, saves 50k a year in an offshore account to one day buy a house because her main job, the money comes and goes. She enjoys it and only chooses decent guys. Your myth that no woman would do this by choice is idiotic. It shows a limited intelligence in that you are unable to imagine anyone making a different decision than you make and you speak in broad generalities.

The diamond line:
"Women claimed in the '60s they'd be like men about sex but they aren't, they put men through a lot to get it and don't even consider the vast majority of men at all."
Received on 26th April 2015:
The argument isn't that they are different, the argument is sex should always be available at a certain price to men in a situation where women choose to accept that price, in a free market, like in Australia and Europe and Japan, nations ahead of us in having 1/10th the crime and imprisonment rates no death penalty (except Japan) and universal healthcare, as well as better education. If a man really needs it, he can work and get it, no man should every feel it is a hopeless dream to ever have sex with an attractive woman and rape occurs when it is a mysterious unattainable experience. No one should be trafficked and no one should be forced, but the market will set a price at which society can say to a rapist you idiot, you should have just spent money if you needed that, you are guilty of a crime of violence and hate and you are going away, if you just want sex it is available. No man wants to live without sex with someone they are attracted to. Women would pay if they had to but have a lower drive, but women can go out and get it any time so they don't understand.

Best line:
"..no man should every feel it is a hopeless dream to ever have sex with an attractive woman and rape occurs when it is a mysterious unattainable experience."

"If you regret it, stop, don't prevent women who would rather accept 2-400 for an hour instead of 80 for 8 hours in a cafe mopping from doing so. For some sex is no different than other things, but you fetishize it and find it traumatizing because you are biased by coming from the Judeo-Christian-Islanmic one God tradition making sex shameful. Monkeys left alone started prostitution for food. It is in our nature. If you had a bad experience, move on, no different from people who did a job for 5 years they hated then did another. You didn't have to let men have sex with you for money. You chose to. Stop trying to shame everyone. This is why boys are doing so much worse than girls in school. When girls thrive they are heroes fighting sexism and boys are constantly told if they make jokes or hit on girls or stand up for themselves that they are bullies or perverts or violent, and lectured by females to act more like females all the while men who do so are generally treated as unworthy of sex by females who occasionally do have sex with guys who stand up to them, if they have looks or money. This whole thread is ridiculous. Stop lecturing people. Let every individual be free to make their own decisions whether or not you approve. I'll say this, without prostitution there would be a lot more women in prison for violent offenses and a lot more homeless women and a lot fewer women graduating college or saving. If a woman is dumb enough to give the money to a pimp she should wise up, but many women spend the money on themselves and rightfully so. You are an anachronism. You are obsessed with controlling other people and this whole post is Orwellian to assume no one would rather have sex for a lot than work hard for a little, not that sex can't be hard work, but you can choose it. I am a man and when I was in my early '20s I was paid for sex by women 6 times, 3 women. It is rare because most women can get it on their own. 2 saw me once and 1 4 times. I don't feel traumatized, I enjoyed some of it, and I made 1200 dollars instead of maybe 60 for the same amount of time. I have no resentment towards these women, zero. I chose it, they chose it. They were in their late '40s and early '50s. Your whole assumption is based on thinking sex is more than it is."

"So work has to be enjoyable? I have sure enjoyed thousands of hours making pizza, washing dishes, carrying things, mopping, and making sales calls. I think you choose to do work based on many factors. Enjoyment is one, pay is another, risk is another, along with doing good for others, a job being interesting, and other factors. If a job is harder, it is better paid. Police take some risk and deal with crap, so they get more than a similarly skilled job with no risk. Sex workers deal with something very personal. For one, only very attractive women have the opportunity to be well paid as sex workers, so the supply is limited. Most are sexually conventional and couldn't comfortably make love to many men, though some sex workers just see maybe 5 a week, which at 200 per, would give you a good lifestyle through college. Many see 1 a week for a little extra, and some really go for volume, and some charge 300 or more. Some charge 400 and see one a day. That's 100k a year with 2 days a week off.
Work isn't defined by being enjoyable. Some jobs involve getting yelled at by the public, some involve filth. Your definitions are based on your accepting the Puritan view that sex is different than other things, that massaging a man's back with your hands or making a car with your hands or making a sale with your mouth are acceptable, but massaging a penis with a mouth or vagina is somehow unnatural and sex should only be associated with biblical religiously acceptable love. With one night stands, some women have sex for attention, to spend time with a celebrity for a few minutes, for a trip, for a work advantage, and some are well off, plenty of 6 figure real estate saleswomen routinely will sleep with a man to get an exclusive. The thought that some would consider sex just an act which could be sold is beyond you. True, if all men decided they would only sleep with women after 3 dates or usually more, and only with 8 in a lifetime or 25 if they are hot, and 2-4 if they are below average, or 0 in some cases, it would stop. Yet if all women decided they'd never sell sex, it would too. Why do you think sex is such a big deal? It's odd, you fetishize it. Some women wish to sell sex to earn more. Without sex, women would be homeless more and would also commit violent crimes more once desperate, or deal drugs. It's odd that you view a transaction in which a man gives up significant cash as somehow a man exploiting or damaging or hurting a woman who chooses it.
A woman doesn't enjoy working for $10 an hour making lattes and sandwiches and change and mopping and washing dishes. Is her boss exploiting her? Damaging her?
You have to ask why you view sex this way. For many young people sex is just a thing."

"So should it only be legal to be a prostitute if you never did it before 18? How about drinking? Most people who drink started before 18. How about illegal drugs? Your line of reasoning is so clearly a result of misandry. Consenting adults can do what they want. And customers don't feel entitled to a woman's body. They pay a lot of money and a woman can make far more than for doing something else. Every woman is free to do another job. If men are lazy in school and quit jobs or get into expensive drugs, they end up homeless or in prison for risky/violent offenses. Women mostly turn to prostitution because it is better than trying to mug someone or being homeless. Some women can pay for college (sugardaddy.com is hugely popular, or seekingarrangements.com), save money, or live better, or have more free time as an artist.
Your language and reasoning are ridiculous and you clearly discriminate against those who don't share your insane misandrist views, leaving posts as "awaiting moderation" indefinitely because you are afraid to debate anyone who disagrees with you and hide behind your power as blog moderator to censor opponents and create a false impression everyone agrees with you.
No one is entitled. Men who pay adults for sex are clearly desperate because women have not taken equal responsibility for seeking out sex. Men have to hit on women to have any chance because women don't walk up to 95% of men and offer casual sex. I'm well above average looking and it's happened to me a few times in a lifetime, but sex is a need. I get most sex by hitting on women, putting myself out there, something women never have to do. Women never have to pay because they can get sex any time. Some have even lobbied against female viagra and more women criticize other women for being promiscuous than men do by far, wanting to use sex to control men. Female viagra or equal treatment of both sexes, i.e. not calling a woman a slut and a man a stud, and women taking equal responsibility for seeking sex would undermine women's ability to control men and whip men in marriages and relationships. Men are lectured for calling women sluts but women do it far more, most men wish women had our open sexual attitude.
Consenting adults should be able to do what they wish. Nearly the entire first world allows this. Women will never understand what it is like to desperately want or need sex and not be able to get it and have society treat you like a failure for not getting it.
If you are an adult and choose to sell sex you are not a victim and a man who chooses to pay an adult is not a predator. It is a victimless crime or if there is a victim, she chose it. Men are often victims, charged great deals of money for an act most species exchange freely and openly due to social control and religion. In the '70s women claimed they would start being equal in seeking men, but 86% of men are judged by women to be below average on dating sites (vs. 63% of women so judged by men), so you have a vast majority of men who have an urge for 100 sexual partners and will be lucky to have 10 in a lifetime, and entertainment showing every male as having a lot of sex or uncool, and women far more open to it than they actually are.
Stop playing victim. You should have saved your money then you'd still be collecting dividends and benefitting. You are blaming others for your own choices and assuming because you regret it, all women must think like you and must be stopped or one day they'll regret it. A lot of women don't share your Puritan, anti-sex, anti-casual sex/sex for pleasure, misndrist philosophy. Thankfully so.
We need some age cutoff. Yes, it's arbitrary, most 18 year olds are pretty immature. But some nations say 16, 17, 18, or 21. If you made it 21, prices would go up but there'd be a black market and some prostitutes who wish to save a million or two to have an easier life after prostitution, who actually have the discipline to save money so they don't have a mortgage when they're married with kids and have a degree, would lose 3 prime earning years. It'd be like making all NBA players be 21, you lose prime years.
And remember all the suffering males go through because we don't have Fort Knox between our legs. 9 x the prison rate, violent and risky crimes, death committing robberies, 10 x the homeless rate, and remember men are the only ones who need sex and can't get it. Men don't feel entitled, but men who are treated as undatable by most women need a way to have it sometimes for life to feel worth living. The market decides that but currently, prostitutes with no education in most Cities make about as much as successful lawyers, and remember over half who pass the BAR never practice law and many others aren't successful."

Our Floyed really came into his own with this post. There are three remarks nominated here because I just couldn't choose between them:
"Men who pay adults for sex are clearly desperate because women have not taken equal responsibility for seeking out sex. Men have to hit on women to have any chance because women don't walk up to 95% of men and offer casual sex."
"And remember all the suffering males go through because we don't have Fort Knox between our legs."

"What is going unsaid is this is a blog based on the simple idea of men bad, women good. Maybe men who let themselves be controlled by women and are momogamous and drop everything when she's in a bad mood asking for advice she won't follow, but for the most part any man who stands up for himself, particularly a white man, is bad.
It may not go up, as this board is very censored, sometimes I have a post which claims to be awaiting moderation for months then disappears. However this is the truth if you have the nerve to let me speak.
These women are extremely irresponsible with their money. Any woman with discipline, business sense and savvy could save a million within 5 years if she ran an hour a day and any woman willing to just be with one guy a day she chooses can at the very least pay for a full college education.
However many women end up with a client like this because they get a good client and then turn him down a second time, someone who is clean, well paying and respectful of them as human beings. Many act very rude towards men who have just given them $200 who then won't repeat with them. I always pay $200 but often get one who is very bad at it and doesn't try and then I don't repeat with them. When I've found one who is good, I see the same one for a year or two twice a month and we get comfortable.
Many waste money on drugs, don't take good clients because they don't feel like it and blow money on stupid things, then they have to take a bad date. They bring it on themselves."

"In America anyone can start at a Community College and transfer to a 4 year college with decent grades, even just passing. Prostitution provides many a chance to get college degree and that doubles your income. At least it ends in one generation and your kids have a college educated parent. Being lazy keeps you poor. It's a chance for those who really want it to avoid truly debasing minimum wage work and while this may be tough work, it gives them freedom and an education. You can be enslaved, and you can be a lazy prostitute, but if you see a few guys a week even you can pay for a degree if you run an hour a day and stay hot. Men have less chance which is why far fewer poor men are going to college."

"Why does moderation take so long?
Here's the thing. I'm nearly 45. I'm a lifelong sex addict who loves sex more than anything. In addition to paying probably 100 women, I've had sex with 49 women without paying. It's getting harder but I will probably surpass 50, a feat that fewer than 1 in 20 American men achieve. I will not talk about the paid as I know you all assume the worst, but when you talk about enjoyment, here is my response.
I've had a few women at the right time and place jump into bed with me or waited several dates like 3-4 before trying a move because I hate being rejected so I wait for it to be nearly risk free, though you'd be surprised it's never a sure thing even on a 3d or 4th date when they seem to like you. Some women love to reject guys and tell a story more than they love actual sex.
Sex is a naturally enjoyable act we are programmed to enjoy.
Now many times a woman makes you really talk her into it but finally agrees. All kinds of issues come up. Are you clean (no diseases), do you love me (I don't believe in love and never lie about this), will you respect me (of course I judge no one based on sexuality and admire sex workers who actually save instead of end up broke for irresponsible reasons), are you good at it (very), etc. They put you through an hour or more of uncomfortable conversation and say they don't always like one night stands, etc.
I am very hard working as a lover and dedicated. I am very good at oral and last a long time. I give a full body massage and over half an hour minimum of oral. I also do whatever they want how they want and explain this beforehand. They always end up enjoying it and having orgasms. They always call me again and want to get together even though it's purely casual. They never ever complain.
So once you have sex, you enjoy it. I'm not talking about rape, no one would enjoy that. I'm talking about consensual sex.
The pay rate for prostitution is so high now many only see a client a day and would pick up a guy in a bar every day. It's so common in the Bay Area it's made it drastically harder for men to get a free one night stand as many women have the same amount of sex but charge for it. On the low end, you could sleep with 3 guys a week and charge 200, get regulars, and not be put out. You could hold a normal job and in 15 years make 450k, which if you can live off your main job, allows you to save and it would compound to 650-700k if put into stocks. You can pay off a college loan which drags on for life for many men, and chaste women, even into social security. You can buy a house which is almost impossible for many with a big down payment so your mortgage is smaller in a better neighborhood. That's low end, most who do low volume can charge 250-400 and tips exist. Some could see 5 a week. Some go all out and see 30-40, but their rate goes down and their skill declines. But many have very low volume and are having the sex they would for free for money. Some are very picky on looks even when charging. Some pay for college this way.
So to say no women enjoy it you have to be all women. Many women enjoy it. Just because you take money, which is smart in my view, it doesn't mean the ability to orgasm or neurons in your clitoris shut down."
Floyed Thursby
And here is where Floyed finally reveals the source of his angst with us sex trade surviving bloggers:
"I'm a lifelong sex addict who loves sex more than anything."
Before impressing us all with the sheer "feat" of his sexual prowess:
"In addition to paying probably 100 women, I've had sex with 49 women without paying. It's getting harder but I will probably surpass 50, a feat that fewer than 1 in 20 American men achieve."
Before wrapping up by giving us women a biology lesson about our own bodies:
"Just because you take money, which is smart in my view, it doesn't mean the ability to orgasm or neurons in your clitoris shut down."
You see, Floyed, that is exactly the problem. Your having used our social vulnerabilities to buy access to our bodies doesn't make our physical responses shut down. The intimate parts of our bodies, which you are paying to lick, suck, finger and fuck are just as sensitive as they ever were, and so because it is not possible to completely shut down the experiences of the body, we numb them with drugs and alcohol, and we dissociate ourselves psychologically, so that the traumatic experience of physical violation is not felt fully with the emotions or processed by the mind.
This, of course, leads to lifelong problems, for those of us lucky enough to have lives, because not all of us do Floyed. But then the astronomical suicide and drug overdose rates in prostitution really don't matter, do they? I mean, at the end of the day, what on this planet could be more important than the rights of some men to pay to blow their load?

|Bizarre side-effect of increasing read concurrency
|Sat, 02 Apr 2011 03:21:05 GMT
After increasing read concurrency from 8 to 64, GC mark-and-sweep was suddenly able to reclaim much more memory than it previously did. Previously, mark-and-sweep would run around 5.5GB, and would cut heap usage to 4GB. Now, it still runs at 5.5GB, but it shrinks all the way down to 2GB used. This behavior was consistent in every machine I increased read-concurrent on. Any thoughts on why this behavior changed? No other diagnostics appeared to correlate to the concurrency change, besides thread count.

Kim Kardashians Baby Bump Swarmed By The Paparazzi: Is This Safe? (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
A pregnant Kim Kardashian was spotted with her baby bump trying to make her way through a swarm of paparazzi while at LAX airport in Los Angeles, Calif. on Tuesday evening.
The reality television star was trying to make her way home after spending Easter Weekend in Paris with her baby daddy Kanye West but it looks like she could barely make it through the front door! Clearly this doesn't look like a safe environment for someone who is about to enter their last stage of their pregnancy.
Take a look at our photo gallery below and let us know your thoughts.

Hot Rod Build - In The Works At Ionia Hot Rod ShopWritten by on May 26, 2006 Garage Seen
We had to turn around at the light and go back because we drove right past the place the first time. Denny Lesky, owner of Ionia Hot Rod Shop in Ionia, Michigan, gave us good directions, but, with the building set back from the road and with no signs announcing anything, it's hard to tell that this plain-looking pole barn is any kind of business, and even harder to imagine the serious hot rodding taking place on the other side of those weather-beaten walls.
After retiring from a career at the Olds plant, Denny decided to turn his hot rod hobby into a business and started building cars out of his low-key shop in central Michigan, with help from his son, Matt, and Jeff Higel. He specializes in traditional-looking frames with modern materials and a lot of innovative techniques, which have earned him some loyal customers and a niche in hot rodding. We got our first look at Ionia Hot Rod Shop via photographs when we met Denny at the Goodguys Nats in Columbus. After talking to him for an hour and flipping through the photos in his album, we decided to arrange to see this place in person a month later.
The Deuce sedan in the driveway has a story all its own that goes back way beyond 50 years. Today we'll tell you about the work-in-progress inside the shop. This '32 roadster pickup is not a customer car, but Denny's own ride, and the test mule car for a lot of the chassis modifications he develops. The steel body was completely disassembled and reassembled with a steel inner structure. The '32 chassis has been drilled with more than 100 doweled holes to reduce weight.
You probably won't have to go to Ionia Hot Rod Shop in person to see Denny's roadster pickup. He's planning on finishing it soon and showing it off on the hot rod event circuit. Until then, these photos will give you a better idea of Denny's talent.

Underneath the car, Denny beefed up the boxed and drilled 'rails with crossmembers made from 1 1/4-inch DOM tubing.The 5-inch-dropped axle holds Chevy van spindles. Steering arms are also Chevy van parts, modified by Denny.When it's done, this balanced, 0.060-over Pontiac mill will be electronically injected and backed up with a 200-4R automatic overdrive.Unfortunately, not too many people will get a look at the rear control arm bushings with finned aluminum covers used with the motor mounts.
One of our favorite views is looking up at the Winters quick-change rearend assembly with an early Ford banjo housing.

John Arthur Love (November 29, 1916 – January 21, 2002) was a United States attorney and Republican politician who served as the 36th Governor of the State of Colorado from 1963 to 1973.
Early life and education[edit]
John Arthur Love was born on a farm near Gibson City, Illinois, on November 29, 1916.[1] At age five, John Love moved with his family to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Love received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Denver in 1938 and a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Denver School of Law in 1941.
Love served as a U.S. Navy pilot in World War II for which he was twice awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Love started a law practice in Colorado Springs after the war.
John Love married Ann Daniels in 1942 and the couple had three children, Dan, Andrew and Rebecca. Rebecca grew up to serve as a justice of the Colorado Supreme Court from 1995 to 2006. Andrew Love served 37 years in the US AirForce and retired in 2004 as a Major General.
Political career[edit]
In 1962, Love defeated incumbent Colorado Governor Stephen L.R. McNichols.
In 1973, John Love resigned the governorship to become the nation's first Director of the Office of Energy Policy (nicknamed the "Energy Czar") in the administration of U.S. President Richard M. Nixon. Lieutenant Governor John David Vanderhoof assumed the office of Governor upon Governor Love's resignation. Love resigned as Director after five months due to the political turmoil in the final days of the Nixon Administration.
Love died in Colorado on January 21, 2002, at the age of 85.
