I used LinkEx before and it is an easy to use- and complete software package. It checkes your reciprocal links, and for a permanent link you can skip the check.
Now I was looking for a WP integration and found two!
However it hasn't been updated for over two years. So I figure it's not save to use.
Any chance this plugin gets updated in the near future?

Unusual Cancers of Childhood Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Other Rare Childhood Cancers
Table 7. Characteristics of Paraganglioma (PGL) and Pheochromocytoma (PCC) Associated with Susceptibility Genesa continued...
These findings suggest that younger patients with extra-adrenal nonsyndromic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are at high risk for harboring SDHB mutations and that this phenotype is associated with an earlier age of onset and a high rate of metastatic disease. Early identification of young patients with SDHB mutations using radiographic, serologic, and immunohistochemical markers could potentially decrease mortality and identify other family members who carry a germline SDHB mutation. In addition, approximately 12% of pediatric GIST patients have germline SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD mutations in the context of Carney-Stratakis syndrome.
Diagnostic evaluation
The diagnosis of paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma relies on the biochemical documentation of excess catecholamine secretion coupled with imaging studies for localization and staging.
Biochemical testing
Measurement of plasma-free fractionated metanephrines (metanephrine and normetanephrine) is usually the diagnostic tool of choice when the diagnosis of a secreting paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma is suspected. A 24-hour urine collection for catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine) and fractionated metanephrines can also be performed for confirmation.[51,52]
Catecholamine metabolic and secretory profiles are impacted by hereditary background; both hereditary and sporadic paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma differ markedly in tumor contents of catecholamines and corresponding plasma and urinary hormonal profiles. About 50% of secreting tumors produce and contain a mixture of norepinephrine and epinephrine, while most of the rest produce norepinephrine almost exclusively, with occasional rare tumors producing mainly dopamine. Patients with epinephrine-producing tumors are diagnosed later (median age, 50 years) than those with tumors lacking appreciable epinephrine production (median age, 40 years). Patients with MEN2 and NF1 syndromes, all with epinephrine-producing tumors, are typically diagnosed at a later age (median age, 40 years) than patients with tumors that lack appreciable epinephrine production secondary to mutations of VHL and SDH (median age, 30 years). These variations in ages at diagnosis associated with different tumor catecholamine phenotypes and locations suggest origins of paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma for different progenitor cells with variable susceptibility to disease-causing mutations.[53,54]
Imaging modalities available for the localization of paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma include CT, magnetic resonance imaging, iodine I-123 or iodine I-131-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (123/131 I-mIBG) scintigraphy, and fluorine F-18 6-fluorodopamine (6-[18 F]FDA) positron emission tomography (PET). For tumor localization, 6-[18 F]FDA PET and 123/131 I-mIBG scintigraphy perform equally well in patients with nonmetastatic paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma, but metastases are better detected by 6-[18 F]FDA PET than by 123/131 I-mIBG.[55] Other functional imaging alternatives include indium In-111 octreotide scintigraphy and fluorodeoxyglucose F-18 PET, both of which can be coupled with CT imaging for improved anatomic detail.

Packing for business travel is very different than leisure. With leisure, you are forewarned, have plenty of time, and have a good idea on what you'll be doing. Business is much harder because you have minimal time to prepare, may have surprise occasions come up, and the clothes in general are harder to pack. Here' we've divided your packing into 3 bags and included some essentials to include in each.
The Garment Bag
Perhaps the most important, this makes sure your suits and other formal garments won't be wrinkled.
Put in at least one good suit, maybe more if you are going to be there for a good length of time. Brown for day and black for night is a good option. If you are not skilled with the iron, it is best to also put any dress shirts in this bag. Bring a simple white, one you can wear alone with a nice pair of pants, and perhaps one with some color.
Any pantsuit, formal dress, or pencil skirt should go in this bag off the bat. Feel free to throw blouses in as well, depending on your ironing skills and the materials of the shirts.
The Suitcase
Besides the basics, there's a few items everyone should keep in their suitcase to stay prepared.
The Steamer: Many hotels have irons, but a safer option is a steaming machine that is small, portable, and keeps everything looking fresh.
Shoe Bags: To keep your shoes from scratching each other, pack them in fabric shoes bags. This will keep everything more organized and safe.
Accessory Holder: For women, a jewelry holder is key to make sure nothing gets tangled. For men, there are travel tie holders, but if you are in a pinch, rolling the ties like a store will prevent and kinks.
The Carry On
In all instances, your carry on will be the vital bag that keeps all your essentials. If something goes wrong, you want to have items that are necessities with you. Also, if you are heading to a meeting right after landing, you may want to freshen up.
Wallet: To hold all your money, cards, and documentation, make sure to have your leather wallet on hand. This is a no brainer, but is often times forgotten in a rush.
Passport Holder: Traveling leads to bringing a passport, and protecting this vital document is key. A passport holder is a great way to keep your passport stored safe and express yourself.
Phone Case: Traveling is hard on your devices, that's why you should make sure your phone is in a protective case that is personalized to you and will make sure everything stays flawless.
Phone Charger: Boredom leads to phone use, and phone use leads to phone battery drainage. Fix that with a portable charger handy in your carry on bag.
Toothbrush: If you have a big meeting after you land, have a toothbrush on board so you can brush up and be fresh before meeting everyone.
Motion Sickness Pills: It happens to the best of us, motion sickness. Make sure you have the pills along just in case you have a bumpy flight. It is better to be over prepared than sick for the vital first greetings.

PAFM: No-Frills Web-Based File Manager
Productivity Sauce
PHP Ajax File Manager (PAFM) is decidedly bare-bones, but this simple application can come in handy when you need to set up a web-based file manager on your server in a pinch. Indeed, deploying PAFM requires only a few simple steps and can be done in a matter of minutes. Grab the latest version of PAFM from the project's GitHub repository, and unpack the downloaded archive. Open the pafm.php file in a text editor and edit the following two lines:
define('PASSWORD', 'auth'); define('ROOT', '.');
In the first line, replace auth with the password you want, and in the second line specify the path to the directory PAFM should use as its root. Upload the entire pafm to your server, and you are done. Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1/pafm (replace 127.0.0.1 with the actual IP address or domain name of your server), and log in using the specified password to access PAFM.
PAFM's interface won't win any prizes for its looks, but it does the job pretty well. Using the available buttons, you can quickly upload multiple files as well as create files and directories. Next to each file and directory, there are shortcut buttons that let you copy, rename, move, and delete a specific file or directory. PAFM also features a built-in text editor where you can modify text-based files directly on the server. Better yet, using the CodeMirror button, you can easily install the CodeMirror editor designed specifically for working with popular languages like PHP, JavaScript, Python, etc.comments powered by Disqus

We derive an approximate analytic model for the eigenfunctions of underspread LTV channels which plays a fundamental role in the analysis/synthesis of the optimal precoding that maximizes the information rate in transmissions over linear time-varying (LTV) channels. We assume that channel status information is available to both receiver and transmitter and that the channel impulse response can be predicted exactly, within a finite duration interval, from its past evolution. More specifically, we use our analytic model to prove that the optimal precoding is equivalent to applying the water-filling principle in the time-frequency domain and to simplify the computation of the optimal precoder. We include numerical results to support the validity of our model.

Hi xalexas,
Thanks for checking out Audiobar. There isn't a standard way to automatically stop (or pause) the music, but if you feel comfortable inserting some code, I can talk to the programmer to see if he can whip something up for you! I'll reply here when he gets back to me about it.
I will also make note of this feature to include it in future versions.
OK. Thank you. Meanwhile maybe I can set default silence on other pages? It would be usefull if I could autoplay silence? I have tried to autoplay with adding audiobar-bar.php to my theme folder with following code:
<?php $autoplay=1; include ABSPATH."wp-content/plugins/audiobar/templates/audiobar-bar.php";?> but it doesn't autoplay file.
Autoplay works only on home page even without that code, everywhere else there is a play button.
Also is there any option to stop music? There is only play button. I would like to have option for visitors to turn off the music.
I have found solution with some JavaScript for hHTML audio but still no luck with flash player. Here is the code for HTML player:
Put this into header.php:
<script type="text/javascript">
var iframe = parent.document.getElementById('iframe_play');
var innerDoc = (iframe.contentDocument) ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;
var song = innerDoc.getElementById('audio');
<?php if($post->ID == 384): ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Does anyone knows how to control flash player with JavaScript?

DeLeSalle student, during anti-gay school assembly, holds up sign: "I love my moms"
Archbishop John Nienstedt's representatives were received less than enthusiastically by DeLaSalle seniors.
In today's Strib, Jon Tevlin details a recent anti-gay marriage presentation made by representatives of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to DeLaSalle seniors.
While making the case that homosexuality is wrong, a priest and Catholic volunteer couple suggested that kids who are adopted or live with single parents are "less than" kids with two parents of the opposite sex. Presenters also compared homosexuality to beastiality, according to Tevlin.
Located in Minneapolis, DeLaSalle High School is "a Catholic High school in the Lasallian tradition." But if school officials thought DeLaSalle's Catholic identity would prevent students from responding indignantly to the presenters' comments, they had another thing coming.
Said DeLaSalle senior Matt Bliss: "When they finally got to gay marriage, [students] were really upset." One student held up a sign reading, "I love my moms."
"You could look around the room and feel the anger," Bliss said. "My friend who is a lesbian started crying, and people were crying in the bathroom."
After presenters made the homosexuality-beastiality comparison, a student interjected, "you didn't just compare people to animals, did you?" Another student said many of her fellow seniors recognized the political impetus behind the presentation, noting that younger students weren't required to attend the assembly because they won't be able to vote this fall.
Jim Benson, DeLaSalle vice principal, said "90 percent" of the presentation "was well received." But his observation is contradicted by the way the presentation concluded -- with the priest and school officials abruptly ending the assembly as tough questions from the students rained down.
Almost all the comments on Tevlin's column applaud the students for taking the Catholics to task. Here's a taste:
DeLaSalle seniors and Star Tribune commenters aside, polling indicates Minnesotans are split evenly on the marriage amendment. In late January, Public Policy Polling found that the amendment is "headed for a close vote," with 48 percent of voters in favor of banning same-sex marriage and 44 percent opposed.

Both coming-of-age story and cautionary tale. In her mother's absence, Jean is torn between the adult world and her surreal fantasies of escape as she and Fender build a fort to survey the rumors of their town.
"A bold word-drunk novel by a wonderful new writer." – Ben Marcus
"White Nights in Split Town City is a ferocious tumble of a book, told from the wild edge of the 90s. Follow the sharp wonder of Jean's voice through the electrifying night of this novel and you will emerge breathless, exhilerated, changed. Annie DeWitt is a daring and spectacular new talent." – Laura van den Berg
David and Camilla go on a trip to every Supreme store in the world. Supreme is a skateboarding-inspired men's clothing brand based in Manhattan. The trip is the subject of this book. David and Camilla are the protagonist and antagonist, respectively, of the book. Most of Supreme's stores are in Japan, so most of the book takes place in Japan.
David goes on the trip to understand the meaning of Supreme, although he is aware that Supreme may not have meaning other than as a vehicle through which to sell clothing, which is not the kind of meaning he is looking for. He has other motivations for going on the trip, some of which are detailed in the book. David is not preoccupied with how Supreme's clothing fits or how much it costs.
On page 117, David and Camilla ride the fastest train in the world, and on page 208, she brings him to the hospital in an ambulance. That happens right before the end of the book. The rest is less dramatic. For example, on page 109, Camilla gives David a haircut in the bathroom, which he likes. The characters don't fall in love with each other, but things happen.
The book is very brief and has 45 pictures in it. You might read it in one afternoon. It's fictional. It has nothing to do with white supremacy. If you aren't sure that you will like it, buy it anyway, but be careful not to crease the pages as you read it and then you can return it when you're done.

"I drink, I hurt myself and the people around me, and then I write." Brett is in Central America, away from her husband, when she begins a love affair with his friend, Eduard. Tragedy and comedy are properly joined at the hip in this loosely autobiographical book about infidelity, drinking, and the postponing of repercussions under the sun. Though coming undone is something we all try to avoid, Martin reminds us that going off the rails is sometimes a part of the ride.
"Bad Sex is like a diamond, cut clean, dangerously sharp, brutally hard and yet paradoxically beautiful, ruthlessly honing in on the plight of a woman caught in the throes of alcoholism, desire, marriage and adultery. Like Camus in The Stranger, Martin digs into the philosophical through precise narrative, exposing the big questions for the reader to answer."

From the author of "Preparation for the Next Life"
Tyrant Books, Holler Presents and Fat Possum have teamed up to bring you this limited edition book and 7" package. Scott McClanahan's writing has drawn comparisons to the absurdist humor of National Book Award finalist George Saunders and the southern home-spun melancholy of Larry Brown and Breece D'J Pancake. We present his latest book, Hill William, based on Scott's childhood in rural West Virginia, along with a 7" from his band, Holler Boys. Scott and Holler Presents co-founder Chris Oxley play folk filtered through an Appalachian fever dream. Sometimes that sound is a gentle prayer; sometimes a shrill, isolated scream. Additionally, Scott has narrated an audiobook of Hill William, automatically downloaded upon purchase of book and 7" package, or available separately. Books are signed and numbered by author. Cover art for 7" generously provided by photographer Stacy Kranitz. Limited edition of 300.
"McClanahan's prose is miasmic, dizzying, repetitive. A rushing river of words that reflects the chaos and humanity of the place from which he hails. [McClanahan] aims to lasso the moon… He is not a writer of half-measures. The man has purpose. This is his symphony, every note designed to resonate, to linger."
-New York Times Book Review
"Every sentence of Solip is a brazen little puzzle of heavy mystery, which when welded together as an object form the most compact and mask-faced take on the encyclopedic novel I can think of. In the ballroom with Sukenick and Lispector, it's one that continues to unfold, query, conflate, revealing slick black floors where you thought walls were."
-Blake Butler
"I have never read a book like this before. It's painful, shocking, and compellingly written, composed with great sensitivity to which details should be revealed and which must stay concealed. Its genre-muddle and formal complexity make for a completely unforgettable, profoundly contemporary, and plainly great work of courage and art. Here's a terrifying proposal: could this be The Great American Novel for the twilight of "Great" America?"
-Sheila Heti (author of "How Should a Person Be?")
"Sam Michel is such a smart, manic, virtuosic stylist . . . the kind of deep insights that make you suddenly and newly appreciative of the world around you."
-George Saunders
In an interview published in the winter 2010 issue of the Paris Review, Jonathan Franzen said to Stephen Burn, "I've never felt less self-consciously preoccupied with language than I did when I was writing Freedom. Over and over again, as I was producing chapters, I said to myself, 'This feels nothing like the writing I did for twenty years; this just feels transparent.'" Franzen added that this struck him as "a good sign" - an indication that he was "pressing language more completely into the service of providing transparent access to the stories I was telling and to the characters in those stories."
Blake Butler is the opposite of that.
"Be warned: this book has the power to make even the most hard-hearted of readers shed a tear. Kimball has broken into new territory: Us is one of the most graphic depictions of illness and loss I have ever read."
-The Glasgow Herald
Jelonnek is a blue collar Midwesterner trapped in a life he is almost sure he wants to escape. Driven by a dim yearning to transcend, he makes the first real choice of his life when a simple errand to a convenience store escalates into a terrifying encounter. He soon finds himself on a cross-country odyssey with a woman he barely knows and her young daughter, in search of escape and new beginnings. They find shelter in an isolated existence at the edge of the country, only to be besieged by threats from outside and, finally, from within. A descent into paranoia, nascent violence and sexuality follows, culminating in a one-man Armageddon and an aftermath as hopeful as it is horrifying.
Firework is the story of a man who, though ill-equipped to help himself, attempts to help someone else, and the beautifully rendered, perhaps necessary catastrophe that results. Unequaled in intensity, it is also an exhilarating expression of the noble, all-too human impulse to become more than what we seem to be.
Imagine having recurring nightmares of a woman who has one normal leg and one baby leg, and then waking up to wonder if today will be the day when they, whoever "they" are, find you and kill you. Unless you're missing the point. Maybe "they" already have "you" and the world is a great deal more grotesque than you could ever imagine. Film noir collides with virtual worlds in this dark and strange novella that only Brian Evenson could have written. Illustrated by Eric Hanson.

Life in Ohio, a Continuing Series
The state's preeminent intellectual figure also turns out to be a moron.
You may think I am cherry-picking stories for this series featuring the dumbest people in the state of Ohio. Okay, how about a story about the president of the state's flagship university?
The president of Ohio State University said Notre Dame was never invited to join the Big Ten because the university's priests are not good partners, joking that "those damn Catholics" can't be trusted, according to a recording of a meeting he attended late last year.
These meeting transcripts are always subject to FOIA. You can't insult entire religions in them.

A Novel Transient Handling Scheme for Time Stretching Algorithms
Changing either speed or pitch of audio signals without affecting the respective other is often used for music production and creative reproduction, such as remixing. It is also utilized for other purposes such as bandwidth extension and speech enhancement. While stationary signals can be stretched without harming the quality, transients are often not well maintained after time stretching. The present paper demonstrates a novel approach for transient handling in time stretching algorithms. Transient regions are replaced by stationary signals. The thereby removed transients are saved and re-inserted to the time dilated stationary audio signal after time stretching.

Comments about 'Defending the Faith: The fall of the early Christian church was almost inevitable'

Very interesting article. It is somewhat of a miracle to recount what happened after the apostasy i.e.scriptures were gathered together undoubtedly with some interpolations. As the centuries unwound, many efforts were made to translate the old and new testament into usable everyday languages. Eventually, these efforts were crowned with success. The book of Judah carried forth to America and many other countries became a bastion of faith and a great defender of faith (as is stated of King James in the preface). Indeed, were it not for the Bible and its commonality of use, the verses which led Joseph Smith to reflect, ponder and pray would not have existed at all. The accomplishments of the first quorum of the twelve '... to go into all the world and..... preach the gospel to every creature ...' has to be one of the greatest success stories of all time.

Except that Jesus' church did survive, as He said it would (And I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Mt 16:18). On this, all orthodox Christianinity agrees. It is one of the basic truths about Christianity. Mormon theology denies this basic truth, one of the many deviations of Mormonism from Biblical Christianity. Yet LDS folks are offended when we (Biblical Christians) point out that this is one of the many reasons we cite when concluding that Mormonism can not be "Christian".

I think this article needs to be more clearly identified as LDS apology for a predominately LDS audience. As someone who is LDS myself, but who has read widely on the evolution of Christiainity, and as someone with Christian friends from other denominations, I would no more presume to publically discuss the "inevitable fall" of their early Christian churches anymore than I would appreciate them publically discussing the "inevitable fall" of Joseph Smith. I don't blame Dr. Peterson, but the website editors should be more careful to identify this as a faith-based LDS discussion of our own doctrine of apostasy and not a scholarly or even public opinion commentary on early Christianity. President Monson and others are constantly being recognized for their work to build bridges of understanding between ourselves and those of other faiths, but the presentation of this article does not help those noble aims.

Dr. Peterson seems to contradict himself right out of the gate when he says (in
the 1st sentence) "the Church founded by… Christ" but then
goes on to suggest that what makes the Christian Church a church is its
scriptures (i.e., instructional doctrines). Since Christ did not write the
scriptures, how could he have founded a church?
Also, his entire premise (festering heresies, false apostles, etc…) suggests that in the decades it took to get the complete New Testament, errors would inevitably been included. If that is so, why is the NT still considered canonical?

To savedsinner: The Bible was not compiled until about 300 AD. So the Christians
before that time could not be called Biblical Christians. But I think they were
true Christians, don't you?
The Christians described in Bible times had living prophets and apostles. They had the priesthood, which could only be received by ordination by one holding it. They added to existing scripture. They had a lay ministry, and their leaders did not attend divinity school. All the branches of the early church were part of one organization. These things are all apparent when you carefully read the Bible. My point is that Latter-day Saints, who also have living prophets and apostles, profess an open cannon, have a lay ministry, and have a similar priesthood structure and general leadership which is at the head of local congregations are today's real "Biblical Christians." Although they have done a lot of good for a lot of people, today's Protestant churches are quite different from the church, described in the Bible, that Jesus organized.

Thank you for addressing one of the most fascinating aspects in all of history.
What is truly remarkable is the fact that Christianity survived at all. Examine
these crazy facts:
1. Christianity spread far, wide and deep despite all the logistical problems pointed out in the article.
2. There was the equivalent of the "extermination order" against Christians throughout the Roman Empire yet people remained committed.
3. Constantin's "Vision", in this sign you will conquer. Was it really a vision?
The more one looks at early Christianity, the more one is amazed.

Non-Catholic historians admit, it can be demonstrated easily that early Church
writers, such as Ignatius of Antioch, Eusebius, Clement of Rome, and Polycarp,
had no conception of Mormon doctrine, and they knew nothing of a "great
apostasy." Nowhere in their writings can one find references to Christians
embracing any of the peculiarly Mormon doctrines, such as polytheism, polygamy,
celestial marriage, and temple ceremonies.
If the Church of the apostolic age was the prototype of today's Mormon church, it must have had all these beliefs and practices. But why is there no evidence of them in the early centuries, before the alleged apostasy began? Catholic Answers

Early creed Used at Baptisms; "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is LORD(YHWH)," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." ( Romans 10:9)(cf. 1Cor 12:3. Paul is ascribing deity to Jesus.

"The church founded anciently by Christ not only didn't survive intact
but probably couldn't have. Ancient means of communication weren't
up to the task...."
Jesus announced the arrival of the Kingdom of God. The church came instead. I agree with Daniel Peterson that communication was not up to the task of preserving the original thrust of what Jesus tried to bring forth. That's partly why disunity tore at the movement right from the outset.
I say partly because the larger cause of internal conflict was the Hellenistic world into which the movement spread very rapidly led by a maverick self-proclaimed apostle, Saul of Tarsus.
Joseph Smith used the term apostasy to describe what happened. Martin Luther spoke of a paganized church of Rome. I find neither of those terms helpful to modern understanding that we today might more accurately call cultural assimilation.

Sneaky Jimmy,
"....What is truly remarkable is the fact that Christianity survived at all...."
Indeed. Had Christianity remained a localized group of dissident Jews in Judea, it might have died out by the end of the first century. That it survived and flourished is due in large measure to the radical efforts of Saul of Tarsus.
Taking interpretive liberties, Saul (or Paul) forged an advocacy of Jesus that was adaptable and appealing to the larger Mediterranean world. The result was a rising Gentile church that came to eclipse its Judean forerunner. But it also made Christianity incompatible with its Jewish roots and made the schism with Judaism inevitable.

Once again you comment without reading ALL the scriptures, especially the Bible. Look up the word, "perfect". Also, try helping us understand the historical use of temples. Even Jesus himself frequently taught in the temple.
Also, you conclude that if one uses only a subset of scripture and history, it mandates the conclusion that Mormon doctrines didn't exist. Every time I read your posts, I see how limited your resources are. And for sure, the Holy Ghost is not part of your life. But I invite you to read John 16 to learn of the importance the Holy Ghost is, even to Jesus.

They also knew nothing of the Protestant Reformation. That doesn't stop Lutherans, Calvinists, Wesleyans and the many denominational spinoffs from selectively using the Bible to support their respective theologies and doctrines. Are you sure it matters to God?

If you define "fall" in the way the LDS Church does which equals changing doctrine, ending certain rituals and ordinances, eliminating other key principles of the Church, then doesn't that mean too that the LDS Church itself has also, "fallen."

No religion is as static as it makes out to be. If it were, it would soon die out.
The trick to making change is to spin it as continuity with eternal truths. I know that sounds cynical but for 2,000 years Christianity has held that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever even though we all know that human understanding is perpetually in a state of development.

RE: Cinci Man,, "perfect". "be ye therefore perfect( teleios),
even as your Father in Heaven is perfect' (Mt5:48) Christs' high
ideal of perfect love(see vv 43-47). Love is an communicable moral attribute
like, grace, mercy; holiness, righteousness.
RE: ,historical use of temples, *Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy Temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.(Eph 2:20-22) *past tense.
The Temple for Christians is Jesus, "destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (John 2:19). After Christ's resurrection the meaning of these words became plain, when Jesus spoke of the destruction of the temple, he was speaking of his own body (John 2:22).
@ John 16 to learn of the importance the Holy Ghost . John 16:7," comforter" =(G 3875 G paraklētos) ="advocate" In 1John 2:1. Like ( Holy Spirit/Ghost=(pneuma) same Greek Word.

Katrina Video Refuels Debate Over Bush's Response
Posted on Mar 3, 2006
The video that made a liar out of Bush on Katrina has reignited the controversy over his administration's incompetent response to the hurricane.
Democrats are calling for an independent probe into the catastrophe, and the video has even taken enough of the heat off ex-FEMA Director Michael "Heckuva Job" Brown so that he's now calling for the firing of Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff.
Washington Post:
Three days after Hurricane Katrina wiped out most of New Orleans, President Bush appeared on television and said, "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." His staff has spent the past six months trying to take back, modify or explain away those 10 words.
The release of a pre-storm video showing officials warning Bush during a conference call that the hurricane approaching the Gulf Coast posed a dire threat to the city and its levees has revived a dispute the White House had hoped to put behind it: Was the president misinformed, misspoken or misleading?

How can I copy my video from my Mac and send it to my iPhone via a cable or wireless?
Depends on how you plan to play it on the iPhone. Both following ways require iTunes and an iPhone connected to it by cable or wireless.
Alternately, you can share/stream your movie to your iPhone over wireless connection if you don't want to take it with you.
Dropbox is always an answer when transferring/syncing files to your iPhone. It's easy; just drop a file in your Dropbox folder and it will show up on your iPhone after a bit. No plugging or syncing required.
TransPhone is always an answer when transferring/syncing files from computer to your iPhone. It's easy and compatible with Mac system; just add a video file in your finder folder and it will show up on your iPhone after a few steps.
You could use the command line as well. Install homebrew from https://brew.sh and then simply:
The documentation for the project is quite good - on par or better than Apple's manual pages and the community is quite active on fixes and updates.

Where does the "duck" come from?
God, I couldn't figure out WHAT they were. The nearest I could guess was a bucket full of elephant parts.
thanks for the material for tonight's nightmares...or erotic dreams.... whatever. i can't help thinking of some guys i know when i see that picture. Next week: oysters!
and i don't mean clams.
We need a half case of Redhook, a 5 lb bag of flour, some salt, pepper, baking soda, three pounds of lemons, and about five gallons of hot oil - STAT!
Oh, and tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce - ON THE SIDE!
THAT'S what I'm talking about, Comte! The perfect setting would be at Golden Gardens, on a cold, blustery, drizzly Sunday morning in December, underneath a tarp tied up between two trees.
That's gayer than a bowl of penises.
I'm with you, COMTE. I like to fry 'em up specifically in peanut oil.
As for recipes, they substitute well in any other clam recipe - chowder, dip, what have you. Geoducks' flavor is a bit more pronounced than other clams and should be allowed to show through rather than throwing too many other strong flavors on top.
#12, #13
Having been a vegetarian since before moving to Seattle, I have never tried geoducks, and frankly, see no reason why I'd want to.
Then again, I come from quahog country; another clam which has an oddly pronounced prefix and a suffix of a completely unrelated animal.
"The unusual name of the clam is derived from a Lushootseed (Nisqually) word gʷídəq[2] meaning "dig deep", and its phonemically counterintuitive spelling is likely the result of poor transcription. Alternate spellings include gweduc, gweduck and goiduck." -- Wikipedia
Geoduck is also the name of a cheeky, anthropomorphic Anatidaen who teaches children the joy of learning all 50 state capitals.
Lushootseed: Helping Seattle elitists feel superior since 1853.
This photo was actually taken at my parent's place on Bainbridge Island. I think we dug up about 15 ducks that day. It is real, real hard work, but it is a lot of fun for people who have never done it before. The look on their muddied face after pulling their first duck out of the sand is pricelss: part elation and part horror.
Is just me or do geoducks look like Jabba the Hut's penis?
I didn't recognize those either. Been in California too long.
So... what's the street value of that bowl then?
It's late in this thread's life, but there's still times make some Geoduck Clam Dip!
You can be the one to start your and your fellow revelers' food comas before the Turkey's even done on Thanksgiving.
Fresh Geoduck preparation - (recapped from WA Fish and Wildlife page)
Quickly blanch whole clam in rapidly boiling water. Ten seconds is enough - Geoducks will toughen if blanched tor too long. Shuck the clam. You will pare away the gut*, reserving the siphon and the "breast", which continues down from the base of the siphon and along both sides of the shell. Remove the tough outer skin from the siphon. It should slip off easily after blanching. Split the siphon along its length to expose the interior. Wash thoroughly to remove sand. Chop the siphon and breast meat finely.
*You can return the gut of the Geoduck to the blanching water, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to make broth. Strain carefully to remove all sand. Place broth uncovered in refrigerator to cool.
Clam Dip -
1 8oz package of Cream Cheese
1 cup Geoduck (substitute one to two 6.5oz cans chopped clams, drained, liquid reserved)
1/3 cup chopped onion.
1 Tsp. Worcestershire Sauce.
1/3 to 1/2 cup Clam Broth.
Squeeze or two of lemon.
Salt and Pepper.
Leave cream cheese out prior, allowing it to come up to room temperature. Put cream cheese in mixing bowl with onion. Mash into a rough paste with a potato masher. With a whisk or fork, work the broth slowly into cream cheese to thin. Eyeball the consistency; you don't want the dip to be too thin. Dip should have a smooth, thick texture. Add clams, Worcestershire, lemon and stir in. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Give it a try and adjust ingredients as needed. When satisfied with your dip, drink the rest of the broth and chase with a shot of vodka. It's fun!
The dip can be eaten right away, but is better chilled overnight.
Serve with potato chips. Lays are delightful.
Recipe serves 4-5 happy people, or one sad one. Double recipe for parties.
Oh, um... Does it comee in "HARD" or just "limp"?

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Out here in the shadows of the ersatz Matterhorn, and with the delight of screaming kids on spring break within earshot of late, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim quietly have pulled off one of the season's biggest recoveries.
And to think that because of alleged fan preferences in the wake of the sale of the franchise, the team is on the verge of shedding the adjective in the offseason and becoming, simply, the Anaheim Ducks.
(Has Emilio Estevez been consulted? And did they consider becoming the Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim, since they don't have a proven first baseman, either?)
The Ducks lost eight straight in November, though the streak wasn't completely pointless because of two losses in overtime and one in a shootout. Even before missing seven games with a strained hamstring, goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere was so ordinary (or worse), his remarkable 2003 playoff performance seemed even more aberrational. The Nov. 15 unloading of the still-enigmatic Sergei Fedorov to Columbus at least raised the question of whether the Ducks were beginning to write off the season, as much as hoping for addition by subtraction in the process. Scott Niedermayer, the reigning Norris Trophy winner wearing the "C" after his offseason signing for four years and $27 million, could have been excused for wondering whether he had walked into a mess, and not just a reunion with brother Rob Niedermayer.
Yet since, the Ducks have been one of the best teams in the league, and after their 6-3 victory over Nashville on Friday night, they had won five in a row. Anaheim moved into fifth place in the Western Conference and seemingly is in good position to secure a postseason spot as seven teams fight for five spots. (Detroit and Dallas are locked into the top two spots, and Nashville is a given as No. 4. The rest are up for grabs.)
"We had a little bit of a tough stretch, and we always believed we were a better team than that," said Scott Niedermayer. "We just kind of stuck with it and continued to work and build as a team. It paid off. It's a long season and you're going to go through different stretches for sure. We managed to shorten it as quick as we could and turn it around as soon as we could. We've got ourselves into a fun place right now, playing for a playoff spot.''
Giguere is having a great March and seems on track to secure his reputation as a goalie who gets better as the season progresses.
"With all the changes that happened here in the offseason with the new management, we knew it was going to be a slow start and stuff like that," Giguere said Wednesday morning. "It's hard to all be on the same page. But once we all got on the same page, and started working in the same direction, we ended up being a very good team."
Giguere said he didn't pay much attention to the rumors that he might be on the trading block, as well. "It's in the back of your mind, I won't lie to you," Giguere said. "But we're in position here to make the playoffs, and I thought they could get good use out of me, so I wasn't too nervous."
General manager Brian Burke, hired to run the franchise by new owners Henry and Susan Samueli prior to the lockout, was facing not so much a reconstruction project as a refocusing and tweaking plan. Especially in the wake of Fedorov's departure, it has helped that center Andy McDonald, the former Colgate Raider, is having a breakout season with 27 goals. Also, Teemu Selanne, who was troubled by a bad knee and wasn't given much of a chance at significant ice time in his one season at Colorado, has been the NHL's comeback player of the year with 31 goals at age 35.
Selanne's incredible 1992-93 rookie season at Winnipeg came when the Jets had a one-time Norris Trophy winner on the back line, winding up his career. "I saw him score 76 in his rookie year," said that one-time defenseman, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle.
Carlyle read Selanne the same riot act, in effect, that he heard at Colorado. The Ducks' first-year coach, who previously had been coaching the AHL's Manitoba Moose for Burke and the Canucks, said the staff told Selanne "that when it was his turn to be first in the forecheck, he'd be first. When it was his turn to be first on the backcheck, he'd better be first or he wasn't going to see the minutes with offensive opportunities. He's fulfilled his end of the bargain, and hopefully we have given him the opportunity to have success.
"I think the year off in getting his knee reconstructed and then rehabbing was a difficult one and probably the hardest he's worked at it,"
Carlyle said of Selanne. "His conditioning level was at the highest level I've ever seen it, ever. He was light and he had that jump back. And he hasn't lost that.''
For his part, Selanne deflects talk of the past, saying he wants to move forward, but emphasizes he is healthy again and a major part of the Ducks' recovery in his second stint with the franchise.
The Ducks missed the playoffs and were 12th in the conference in 2004, but this wasn't a complete disaster. What Burke has done in the wake of the New NHL's redrawn financial parameters is working, and it's a stark contrast to the Kings' collapse -- panic and potential playoff-spot ouster up the freeways in downtown Los Angeles.
The Ducks' party lines are all-in-this-together, knew-it-all-along predictability. But it's not disingenuous, because the early-season struggles led to more head-scratching, involving an underlying recognition that there was sufficient talent on this roster and potential for a turnaround rather than panic.
"If you have a team that works this hard, and any credit goes to anyone besides the players and the coaches, there's something wrong," Burke said. "Right now, the coaches have done a good job and the players have worked their tails off. That's what's happened."
Say what you will about Fedorov -- and what you certainly can say is that he is more of an enigma than ever. His departure arguably was a step in the right direction for the Ducks. When his mind is in the arena, he still can take over games, but that isn't often enough. And that kind of is-he-here-tonight (or this week, or this month) questioning in the long run is a detriment.
In deadline-week deals, the (Mighty) Ducks sent defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh, the wandering Latvian who had been getting his act together in a long-overdue visit to the NHL's substance-abuse program, to the Rangers; shipped defenseman Keith Carney to Vancouver; picked up center Jeff Friesen from Washington; and acquired defenseman Sean O'Donnell from the Coyotes.
The sum of the parts is a potential playoff threat, and that's where the been-there, done-that leadership of Scott Niedermayer will be even more valuable.
"It's a little different here," he said of his leadership and center-stage role. "But I think it had gradually progressed in New Jersey, though, especially when Scotty Stevens got hurt and it was, 'Here's the C, see what you can do with it and what you've learned from Scotty after 12 years.' I'm still learning about that, and it's a bigger job maybe than you think when you don't have it on. I've been trying to do my best with that. But there are great guys in this room and I'm enjoying it."
The other thing that has happened is that even his teammates have realized that sometimes you have to see a player night in and night out to come to grips with how good he really is. Niedermayer has been terrific, especially of late, and has done nothing to diminish his chances of becoming a coast-to-coast, repeat Norris winner.
"He's just so smart out there," McDonald said. "When you're on the ice with him, he makes everything easy for you. He continues to amaze everybody on this team with the plays he makes."
Giguere called Niedermayer "the best hockey player I've ever played with. He's our leader. He's the guy we look to when we need direction, and he's always showing us the right direction."
And right now, that direction is up.

Antarctic global warming expeditionists trapped in ice may have to be rescued by helicopter; Updated
**Written by Doug Powers
Australian climate change professor Chris Turney, passengers and media hoping to get pictures penguins windsurfing where ice should be set out on an expedition to demonstrate the effects of global warming on Antarctica. The ship and all on board have now been trapped in ice for almost a week and counting:
After nearly a week trapped by deep Antarctic ice, the 74 passengers aboard an expedition vessel could soon be freed.
An Australian icebreaker ship Aurora Australis is 28 nautical miles away from the Russian-flagged Akademik Shokalskiy and is waiting for snow showers to pass, according to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
The Aurora Australis needs better visibility before trying to break through the ice and reach the stranded vessel.
This attempt follows the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, which was just six nautical miles away from the trapped vessel when it couldn't get any closer due to unusually thick ice.
The plan is to see whether the Aurora Australis can break through the ice further than the Chinese ship could. If not passengers will have to get ready for an evacuation by helicopter.
The place where the ship is trapped in unusually thick ice is in an area where Mawson was able to move by ship 100 years ago.
So, what's the carbon output of all these rescue ship and helicopters? I'm guessing they're not solar powered.
Turney runs a company called Carbonscape that aims to "fix carbon from the atmosphere and make a host of green bi-products, helping reduce greenhouse gas levels." Well, he's given himself a new carbon harnessing project to work on:
Check out this statement: Even as they sit trapped in sea ice, the expedition continues to point out that climate change is causing a disappearance of sea ice.
Anthony Watts has video of Mawson landing in 1912 in ice free Commonwealth Bay — the same area the current "global warming" expedition sits helplessly trapped in ice. Lots of other interesting stuff at the link as well.

As I said yesterday "ellie is such a flake".
Smoking can't be good for his lungs and it takes a lot of lung power to play the trumpet.
Naw. She's just a sister. Believe me, with two talented musician brothers, I can relate.
Am surprised Ellie's brother even wanted to part with one of his trumpets. This may be just the think Michael needed to feel more important in his own eyes….and, he may be able to develop a future source of income from it when he's older.
@kiccanada: Michael's gonna be a writer not a trumpet player when he's older.
Ellie's not a flake; she just doesn't want to listen to her kid making loud annoying noises every day.
My second ex plays the paino. Often, the piano wins.
"Piano" or "paino?"
Maybe the latter is closer to the truth?
Silence is golden Phil!
Lynn's Notes:
We didn't have a garage, so my brother's bands practiced in our basement. For as long as I can remember, the sound of their practicing was ambient noise, and when he wasn't rehearsing with his buddies, Al practiced his horn for hours. The scales, the trills and the tricks of the tongue had to be repeated endlessly, and there were times I just had to escape from it. No amount of teasing or pleading kept him from practicing – which is why he was, in later years, such an excellent musician!
For what it's worth, neither my brother nor I chose trumpet – I picked flute, he keyboards – but practice time was sacred. We were lousy at first, but we all knew it would sound better in time. Well, at least it worked in his case – I gave up torturing our eardrums when it became abundantly obvious that both the familial music gene and the sort of talent that appears after hard work had skipped me. He went on to score for several movies ;-)
… and a good trumpet player does not smoke …
I notice people tend to be a lot more tolerant of Ellie's jabs at her brother than they are of Jon's Jabs at Ellie.
I told you good old Uncle Phil was creepy.

But second base umpire and crew chief Angel Hernandez ruled the hit?which struck a railing behind the wall in left field before bouncing back onto the field?a double. The video replay seemed to show it was indeed a homer, but when Hernandez reviewed the play, he upheld his original ruling, to the shock of Rosales, A's manager Bob Melvin (who was thrown out of the game for arguing the call), and the media. 1|13 Tim Sharp/Reuters Ron Kulpa In the top of the fourth inning, Matt Holliday hit into an apparent 6-4-3 double play, but Elvis Andrus' throw from second pulled Mike Napoli off the bag. Replays clearly showed that Napoli tagged Holliday on the shoulder before he reached first, but Ron Kulpa's call stood. The Cardinals would go on to score four runs in the inning. 2|13 Daniel Shirey/US Presswire Jerry Meals Julio Lugo scored from third base on a contested play at the plate, giving the Atlanta Braves a 4-3 win in 19 innings over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The game, which took 6 hours 39 minutes and ended at 1:50 a.m., was the longest in Turner Field history. Lugo took off on Scott Proctor's grounder to third baseman Pedro Alvarez, whose throw to catcher Michael McKenry easily beat Lugo to the plate. Lugo tried to avoid McKenry's tag with a pop-up slide. Replays indicated McKenry made the tag, but home plate umpire Jerry Meals called Lugo safe. "I saw the tag, but he looked like he oled him and I called him safe for that," Meals said. "I looked at the replays and it appeared he might have got him on the shin area. I'm guessing he might have got him, but when I was out there when it happened I didn't see a tag. I just saw the glove sweep up. I didn't see the glove hit his leg." 3|13 Bill Eisner/Detroit Tigers/Getty Images Jim Joyce With two outs in the top of the ninth in Detroit, young Tigers right-hander Armando Galarraga stood one out away from clinching the game's 21st perfect game. A slow roller toward first base off the bat of Cleveland's Jason Donald looked like a sure out, and when Galarraga covered the bag and caught the throw from first baseman Miguel Cabrera, the celebration was on. Except that first base umpire Jim Joyce inexplicably called the runner safe, ruining the perfect game bid on a blown call. The Tigers won, but Galarraga lost his perfect game and his no-hitter, and his teammates voiced their their displeasure with Joyce on the field after the game. 4|13 Doug Pensinger/Getty Images Sam Holbrook In the heat of a late September playoff run, the Rockies needed every win they could muster down the stretch. With Colorado leading St. Louis by a run in the top of the ninth inning, St. Louis' Ryan Ludwick hit a blooper to right field, where Rockies second baseman Clint Barmes appeared to make an amazing over-the-shoulder catch, then doubled up Albert Pujols from first to end the game. The win propelled the Rockies to a five-game winning streak that vaulted them into the postseason. Replays revealed, though, that Barmes never made the catch, even though first base umpire Sam Holbrook called it an out. 5|13 Matthew Staver/Bloomberg News/Getty Images Tim McClelland In 2007, the Padres and Rockies finished with identical records after 162 games, necessitating a one-game tiebreaker for the NL Wild Card. The game went to extra innings, and in the top of the 13th, San Diego knocked in two runs to take the lead. But in the bottom half of the inning, the Rockies rallied against all-time saves leader Trevor Hoffman. The Rockies scored the winning run when Matt Holliday tagged up from third and barreled into Padres' catcher Michael Barrett. Home plate umpire Tim McClelland called Holliday safe, but replays suggested the runner never actually touched the plate. 6|13 Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images Doug Eddings In Game 2 of the 2005 AL Championship Series between the Angels and White Sox, the score was tied 1-1 in the bottom of the ninth in Chicago. After White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski swung through strike three, he darted toward first base, as if there were a dropped third strike. Home plate umpire Doug Eddings made no signal of an out, despite what looked like a clear swing, miss and catch by Angels catcher Josh Paul. The call ended up costing the Angels the game, as pinch-runner Pablo Ozuna stole second before being knocked in by Chicago's Joe Crede. The White Sox went on to win the series. 7|13 John Biever/SI Tim Tschida Known to Red Sox fans as "The Phantom Tag," umpire Tim Tschida blew a crucial call in the eighth inning of Game 4 of the 1999 ALCS. The Yankees led 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth but the Red Sox had a runner at first and one out when John Valentin hit a groundball to second. The Yankees' Chuck Knoblauch fielded the ball but completely whiffed on Boston baserunner Jose Offerman (who was heading to second) before throwing to first to get Valentin. This should have brought All-Star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to the plate with a man in scoring position and two outs. Instead, Tschida called Offerman out, resulting in an inning-ending double play. The Yankees won the game to take a 3-games-to-1 series lead and finished off the Red Sox in Game 5. 8|13 Chuck Solomon/SI Richie Garcia With the Orioles leading the Yankees 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS at Yankee Stadium, Derek Jeter hit a long fly ball to right field. As O's right fielder Tony Tarasco settled under the ball on the warning track and reached to make the catch at the wall, a young Yankees fan named Jeffery Maier reached over the fence and grabbed the ball out of the air, just above Tarasco's reach. Baltimore cried for obvious fan interference, but right field umpire Rich Garcia ruled the play a home run, and the call was held up by the rest of the crew. The homer sent the game to extra innings, where the Yankees eventually won the game and eventually, the series. 9|13 Ronald C. Modra/SI Drew Coble Controversy struck with two outs in the top of the second inning of Game 2 of the 1991 World Series. Atlanta's Ron Gant drilled a single to left field, but after rounding first base too wide, he had to hustle back to the bag to beat the throw. In doing so, Gant appeared to be pulled off the bag by Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek, who looked to have wrapped his arms around Gant's leg and lifted him off the base. Hrbek then tagged Gant, and first base ump Drew Coble signaled the inning-ending out. Gant argued the call in Coble's face, to the point of having to be held back by teammates. Coble maintained that Gant's momentum, not Hrbek, caused him to come off the base. 10|13 Richard Mackson/SI Don Denkinger First base umpire Don Denkinger's ruling in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series is known simply as "The Call." With the Cardinals leading the Royals 3-2 in the series, St. Louis took a 1-0 advantage into the bottom of the ninth inning. Cardinals reliever Todd Worrell induced a slow roller to first base from the Royals' Jorge Orta leading off in the ninth, and an underhand toss from first baseman Jack Clark to Worrell, who was covering the bag, looked like a sure out. Denkinger called Orta safe, though replays clearly showed he was out. The dubious single ignited a two-run Royals rally that won the game. Kansas City rolled to an 11-0 win the next night in Game 7 to win its first World Series title. 11|13 Heinz Kluetmeier/SI Larry Barnett In the 1975 World Series between the Red Sox and Reds, Cincinnati's Ed Armbrister laid down a sacrifice bunt in a tie game with a runner on first in the bottom of the 10th inning. But as Sox catcher Carlton Fisk attempted to make a play on the ball and throw to second to get the lead runner, Armbrister lingered near home plate, causing a collision with Fisk and forcing an errant throw into center field. Home plate umpire Larry Barnett refused to call interference on Armbrister, despite the seemingly obvious attempt to block Fisk from making the play. The non-call eventually helped the Reds score the winning run. They took a 2-1 lead in the Series, which they won in seven games. 12|13 Diamond Images/Getty Images Bruce Froemming The difference in baseball lore between a perfect game and a no-hitter is significant, which is probably why Cubs pitcher Milt Pappas is still upset more than 35 years later about a call that cost him baseball immortality. Just one batter away from a perfect game against the San Diego Padres, Pappas walked pinch-hitter Larry Stahl. Pappas erupted at home plate umpire Bruce Froemming, who called two straight balls to end the at-bat. Froemming was in his second year of umpiring at the time. 13|13 Next up Swim Daily Riccardo Tinelli/SI 15 Hilary Rhoda discusses the Met Gala May 9, 2013 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries MLB Hank Aaron rounds third base after hitting a home run in the Milwaukee Braves game against the Brooklyn Dodgers on July 30, 1956 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, N.Y. 44 SI's Best Photos of Hank Aaron 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More MLB Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden watch from the dugout steps as the New York Mets season comes to an end, circa 1984. 15 Classic Photos of Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More MLB The No. 7 pick in the 2008 draft, the 29-year-old Alonso has been a disappointment for most of his major league career, but he has never been this bad.

Can you be arrested for pretending to be seventeen years old? The fourteen year old girl certainly must have known what was going on and duped her parents into believing this preposterous situation. At any rate, this is bizarre.
Did you see this story yet today? Fifth graders having sex in the class in front of the class with the teacher out of the room.
What an inexplicably fucked up story.
Also, I was watching KOMO news while eating at a restaurant and was surprised at how many terrible stories today came out of Marysville, from 3 people getting plowed by a runaway van at a bus stop, to some murder or rather, to something else (sorry, mind's in a variety of places). Not a good day to be in Marysville (but then again, is ANY day a good day to be in Marysville?).
every child deserved a mother and a mother?
Yet another 30 year old lesbian pretending to be a teenage boy to get into the pants of a 14 year old girl? Ho hum.
*But mama-san (or whatever the politically incorect sterotyped vietnamese is) we spend whole hour - his face never leave between my thighs - he perfect boyfriend - all kind orgasm - no baby*
perhaps mother and daughter simply agreed she had found the ultimate boyfriend
The best day Marysville will have is when it burns to the fucking ground.
Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. I was fucking an older woman when I was 15. Most statutory rape cases involving teens are bullshit to me.
It seems like it was consensual for the girl, and while I don't agree with the older woman's choice of sexual partners, I hardly see it as any type of rape. If consent was given, it's not rape. Distasteful, but not really that big of a deal.....
Better that all the freaks stay clustered together in Marysville than migrate southward toward my neighborhood.
The hell with the rest of that story... I'm impressed that a 30yr old could even pass for a 17yr old!
The girl also said that her boyfriend was abusive she was bitten on the back twice and struck weekly.
Yeah, that sounds real consensual.
about the parents allowing the "boyfriend" to move in: we have to consider that in their cultural standards, 14 years old might very well be "bride material", able to live with a man, and it might be usual for young coulples to live under their parent's roof. I live in latin america and god knows I've helped deliver enough babies from 15 year old mothers who were properly "married" even if they lived in their childhood bedroom with "husband" and baby.
From the article, it sounds like "he" moved in with the family, not necessarily with the girl. I've heard of tons of families allowing their teenagers sig. others to live with them for whatever reason. And it seems like "he" made it sound like "he'd" been orphaned and had no where to go, and that's why they allowed it.
