Uncertainty about kids a good reason to stay unmarried?
We have a great relationship. For lots of reasons, it would make sense for us to get married in the near future. But she wants kids, and I'm not sure I do, or ever will. Would getting married be a bad idea, particularly if the likely alternative is to break up? [more inside]

Desperately want a family...but not with husband
Going on three years of marriage after a tumultuous two years of dating and an even more tumultuous engagement. I got married because at the time I was 33 and I thought my time was running out. I wanted to get married and start a family right away. Then I realized I don't love or even like my husband very much at all. [more inside]
Why won't my kid wipe his butt?
I am the father of a five-year-old who was a bit late in being potty trained (he was nearly four). Everything seemed fine until recently when I started noticing he would forget to flush the toilet after pooping and there would be poop in there but no toilet paper. When confronted he hems and haws and absolutely REFUSES to go back in and wipe himself unless threatened with loss of privileges (video time, etc.). What do I do? [more inside]

Best practices for talking to a child about separation
I need help figuring out the best ways to explain separation/divorce to my extremely precocious 6 year old. I'm hoping that this process can be as compassionate as possible all around, but the idea that I'm "ruining her life" by considering ending our marriage is plaguing me.

marriage on the rocks. need advice.
Never has been a blissful marriage but is it time to throw in the towel and move on? Twenty four years in the chute, one kid in college out of the house, the other living at home in high school. Especially caustic relationship since summer. No sex in months. She works all the time, I'm out of work. Growing further and further apart. But I will want to make it work yet she doesn't seem interested in putting in the effort. Emptiness in the pit of my stomach but I will do what I have to do. Interested in anyone's experiences in situations such as this. Is it worth fighting to keep things together? What about the kids? Is it better on the other side of relationships like this? I'm at a crossroads and need to figure this out. Thanks. [more inside]

Wandering Kids at a Exhibition
A recent AskMe thread and this answer in particular has me re-examining an experience I had a while back, when exhibiting at a show. One of the other exhibitors had her four-year-old child along. I'm sure that if she had any other choice she would have left her child at home. But I kept feeling like her attitude about her child and their impact on the rest of the show and the other exhibitors was....lax? And I'm trying to figure out if I'm being an unfair childless jerk. In part because I hope to have my own kids someday, and if I do, I may very well be in her same position. [more inside]
Giving my kid a positive and realistic message about her body
My daughter is 10 and in the midst of puberty. She has noticeable armpit hair. She's also fairly naive/unaware of standard social stuff - not clued in to what's "cool" etc. She also gets teased about being weird pretty regularly. She's also going to sleepaway camp for the first time this summer, and will be wearing a bathing suit a lot... [more inside]

When to start kindergarten for a late-November-birthday?
My four-year-old son's birthday is in late November. In our state, that means we can choose whether he starts (all-day) kindergarten this coming fall, when he's 4-going-on-5, or next year, when he'll be 5-going-on-6.

Where are the best places in LA to live with a family?
You're considering a move to Los Angeles for a job in Irvine. You and your (stay-at-home) wife are both in your early 30s, and have two young (under two years old) children. You were raised in the midwest, and prefer the suburbs. You want to live in an area that has lots of other young families and easy access to eating and shopping and preschools and other things like that. You don't want to spend more than 30 minutes or so commuting. You want to spend about $3,000 per month on rent for a 3+ bedroom single-family-home (or condo, you suppose). What areas of Los Angeles do you focus on?

U.S. Now One Step Closer To Being Net Natural Gas Exporter
Exporting natural gas just got easier.
This afternoon, the Department of Energy approved the second application for a facility to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) worldwide. Today's approval to export up to 1.4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day goes to Freeport LNG Expansion, on Quintana Island in Texas, for 25 years. The approval process now moves to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commissions (FERC), so the company is not in the clear yet.
Several companies have received nearly two dozen permits from DoE to export LNG to countries with which the U.S. has a free trade agreement (FTA), but the approval process has been much slower for permits to export to non-FTA countries. 19 facilities that want to export LNG to non-FTA countries are still under review by the Energy Department — including a joint project between ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum.
The natural gas industry is booming in the United States, largely due to the practice of fracking, which opened up large parts of the country to extraction previously thought uneconomical to drill. Natural gas can be transported via pipeline across land, but when companies want to export the fuel overseas, they have to use ships. Since natural gas (mostly methane) in gas form would require a large ship to transport, it must be cooled and liquefied before it can be exported across an ocean.
In the last decade, companies built facilities to import natural gas because the U.S. expected lower production than what fracking actually allowed. Once the shale gas boom sharply increased domestic production, they have tried to turn those import terminals into export terminals. Cheniere Energy's Sabine Pass terminal, the first facility to receive DoE approval to export to non-FTA countries, is one example of this.
The reason for the delay of such applications is due to opposition largely from the chemical industry, which fears that exports will lead to an increase in the price of natural gas (which it uses for industrial purposes), and those who care about carbon emissions and the environment, who point out that the U.S. still does not know the consequences that exports will have on carbon emissions.
Congressman Ed Markey, running for John Kerry's old senate seat in Massachusetts, said today that "The Department of Energy still doesn't even know what the impact of natural gas exports will be on domestic businesses and consumers, but they are approving more exports anyway."
If the U.S. is increasing exports, it becomes even more critical to ensure that the natural gas obtained through hydraulic fracturing is as safe as possible, with zero fugitive emissions. Yesterday the Interior Department released draft fracking rules, and there are some easy ways (5 in fact) to make the rules adequately protect Americans and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is one thing to argue for weak safeguards to give Americans access to "cheap energy" — it is another to argue for weak rules that poison the air and water to export the energy to other countries.
The net climate effects of LNG exports depend largely on the energy currently used by the importing country — what the gas will replace. Coal-heavy economies that replace their coal with natural gas should see lower emissions, but this transition could threaten more valuable transitions to renewable energy.
The Energy Department said in today's approval that "the exports proposed in this Application are likely to yield net economic benefits to the United States." Left unsaid is the fact that the more fossil fuels left in the ground, the easier it is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which would benefit the economy in myriad ways.
18 Responses to U.S. Now One Step Closer To Being Net Natural Gas Exporter
From Fox News 2004
AP: LNG Tanker Attack Would Be Devastating
Published December 20, 2004
Associated Press
WASHINGTON – A terror attack on a tanker delivering liquefied natural gas (search) at a U.S. port could set off a fire so hot it would burn skin and damage buildings nearly a mile away, government scientists say in a report expected to influence where new multibillion-dollar terminals will be built.
That applies to LNG ships departing for foreign lands, too.
"Coal heavy countries that replace their coal with natural gas should see their emissions decline".
Wrong. Maybe, maybe not.
Ryan, you need to do your homework. Have you read the Howarth study, or looked at NOAA data? Gas is likely to be just as bad as coal when it comes to GHG's. Stories to the contrary originate from Koch Industries and Exxon, and have no place here.
To anyone who invested in a methane "natural" gas furnace or hot water system, you should have seen this coming. Billionaires want as much money as possible and China for one can outbid the U.S. for "American" methane gas.
If it will assuage any ostriches, the "American" natural gas can be shipped to a third country and the third country's former supplier can ship to China.
Oh, and we get to keep the toxic ground water because, after all, we're the third world country.
This is 'happy-clappy', the 'USA is Number One and Don't You Forget it' agit-prop, so typical of 'progressive' Democratic verbiage. As Plan Obama has swung dramatically into 'lame duck' mode, to ensure 'progressive' surrender to the Mad Hatters over the next three years, certainly throttling any hope of environmental decency, the babies to be thrown out with the bathwater are plain enough to see, the Keystone Kid certain to feature prominently.
It's known as 'disaster capitalism'.
Indeed. It is surprising that a report in ClimateProgress gets this wrong. Our our host (JR) would tell you in his sleep, at the actual concentrations of CO₂ and CH₄ in the atmosphere, the (marginal) climate forcing effect of CH₄ is about 30 times as large as the (marginal) forcing caused by CO₂. Consequently, if only a few percent of the natural gas produced escapes into the atmosphere instead of being combusted, all the greenhouse advantages of methane are lost for at least a couple of decades (the atmospheric ½-life of CH₄ is about 11 years).
This has been discussed extensively here on CP, Ryan. As Mike Roddy says, do your homework.
Time to act people. Stop the planetary genocide.
One other point , the Earth has never seen a rise from 280 to 400 in 160 years. . Period . Ever .
I looked up "fracking" , that gas was buried 430 million ago . We are burning gas that was buried before life crawled on land.
This is very really c "Old Carbon" .
Natural Gas is a lose, lose, lose product. First, it screws up the climate. Even if there were zero methane leaks, we are already over the limit of CO2 pollution and natural gas adds about 1/2 as much CO2 to the environment as does coal. It's like telling a guy who smokes that his lungs are showing effects and asking him to cut down from two packs a day to one. Too late.
Second, there's fracking. We'll wreck the water supply, as well as a lot of surface features with all this new fossil fuel extraction.
Third, as the article notes, because it's temporarily cheap, natural gas squeezes renewables out of the market along with coal.
Lose, lose, lose — and pretty much everybody in Washington thinks it's wonderful…but isn't this the same bunch of clowns that voted for the corn ethanol subsidies and backing up nuclear power plant insurance and renewing the oil tax breaks?
Lose, lose, lose.
We've been burning every carbon atom that ever came our way.
Now we pay the bill.
Does this mean there are better ways to export the gas leaking off the coast of Alaska than to just let it drift?
Could it be that the price and production of natural gas isn't quite what is suggested in the article?
In April 2012 the wellhead price of natural gas was $1.89/mmBtu. In April 2013 it got up to approximately $4.40/mmBtu. It appears likely that the price will rise to $8/mmBtu, or higher, in the next few years for obvious reasons.
When the price of natural gas rose to >$10/mmBtu, in 2008, the natural gas industry went on a drilling frenzy, mainly drilling fracking wells. That led to an oversupply of natural gas which led to the price of natural gas falling below $2/mmBtu.
The problem with <$2/mmBtu natural gas is that for fracking wells, it costs approximately $8/mmBtu to produce the gas. Natural gas producers have been losing a substantial amount of money producing natural gas in the last few years.
In the last year or so, natural gas producers have significantly cut back on drilling. The number of rigs drilling for natural gas slipped to near a 14-year low last month and the current gas rig count is about a fourth of what it was at its September 2008 peak.
Because fracked natural gas wells decline so rapidly, a continuously high rate of well drilling is required just to maintain production. As an example, fracking wells in the Haynesville and Barnett shale plays declined at 68% and 61% respectively in their first year of operation according to a report by the geologist David Hughes.
Because the rate of drilling has declined, year-on-year production of natural gas in the U.S. has been declining. I expect that to continue over the next few years.
There are several issues that will limit U.S. natural gas production in the future even if the price of natural gas rises above $8/mmBtu.
First, with the industry's financial problems associated with the drilling boom of recent years, I expect natural gas producers to be wary of going overboard on drilling in the future.
Second, several of the most productive shale gas plays are in decline including Haynesville and Fayetteville. Barnett appears to be at peak production. Those are 3 or the 4 most productive shale plays for fracking.
You may make the argument that there are 30 shale gas plays in the U.S. and the plays mentioned in the last paragraph are only 3 of the 30. The problem with the argument is that 88% of all shale gas production in the U.S. comes from just 6 shale gas plays.
Not all shale gas plays are equivalent. Some are highly productive, some will not be productive. The industry is producing the most productive plays first.
Petroleum geologist Art Berman made the case several years ago that there is 20-25 years worth of natural gas in the U.S. at the then rates of production, not the +100 years that is often stated by media sources.
It would seem a different approach for a company to just take investors money and use it to capture the fugitive emissions from the sea floor of the gulf of pollution or the methane that just bubbles up from Alas-can waters.
The point being that the gas would be captured and as of now it is just allowed to bubble up on its own to mingle as it will. An example would be the beyond pollution incident in the gulf of pollution when beyond pollution captured methane leaking up to the surface. There doesn't seem to be much said about the methane just bubbling up from the sea floor adjacent to the well head as of late so it may be that they abandoned their efforts to use investor monies to protect the environment in that example.
Hear, hear. These well-known facts make one wonder about the financial case for building LNG infrastructure, which is very expensive and assumes a long-term business. The ships alone cost $220 million a pop.
It's a pretty safe bet that few of these export terminals will ever be built.
Absolutely! It is the rate at which the atmosphere is being polluted and the climate destabilised that is unprecedented and calamitous.
Roger, how dare you introduce facts, damned facts, into the cornutopian fantasy of the fracking fanatics? Have you no sense of propriety? After all there are still lots of patsies out there requiring fleecing in the fracking boondoggle. If they saw your damned 'facts' they might be scared off before being 'entrepreneurised', thoroughly. And there is an entire coterie of 'Empire Loyalists' on the Right in Australia, who predicate their declarations of eternal fealty to the never-ending US Empire on the USA becoming the 'new Saudi Arabia'. How dare you interfere with their delusions.
I'm sorry Mulga. The devil made me do it.
Yes-he's been pestering me a good deal lately, too. Fortunately I have no self-restraint, so we get on famously.

For creating a video thumbnail with
ffmpeg I'm using this command:
ffmpeg -itsoffset -4 -i video.mp4 -vframes 1 thumb.jpg
This gives me a thumbnail with the same size of the video (which has an unknown size, e.g. 960x540). But what I need is a square (cropped) thumbnail with a given size (e.g. 200x200). The result must not be resized, but cropped from the center, and the aspect ratio should not change.
How can this be accomplished?

Which Recent Commercial Is Most Demeaning to the Founding Fathers?
It's a tight race between Bud Light, Kraft, and tea partier Rick Barber.
Between the popularity of the tea party movement and the recent Independence Day celebrations, you've probably been hearing a lot about America's Founding Fathers lately. And with good reason! They were pretty awesome guys. Which is probably why everyone — from Dodge and Bud Light to a Republican running for Congress in Alabama — has been featuring them in their commercials in the past month. But, sacrilegiously, these ads don't always portray men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson with the unflinching reverence you might expect. In fact, some of them are downright unflattering. But which is the most unflattering, and probably deserving of nationwide condemnation? Let's take a look.

Short story:
I'm getting an open_basedir restriction in my php script - a simple "test writing a new file to disk" script. It SEEMS to me that I've got the open_basedir settings correct and the file is in the right location - but no luck, just the same error every time. I've searched for similar open_basedir problems on this site, but I've not seen any with this problem - where the directory looks right but it still throws errors.
My guesses as to what the problem is:
1) open_basedir doesn't work the way I think it does
2) My settings are wrong and I'm just not seeing it
3) It's actually something else, like IIS read/write permissions, etc
4) ???
Long story:
I'm working on an IIS server with PHP and I'm trying to get the following code snippet to work (a simple write file test):
$myFile = 'testfile.txt';
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "Some Text\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "Some More Text\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
This php script is located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WEBDIRECTORY\test_write.php on my server
Here is my php.ini setting for open_basedir:
open_basedir = c:\inetpub\wwwroot;c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WEBDIRECTORY
Whenever I open the script's page, I am expecting to see no output, and then there should be a new file written on the server when I check back. This is what I get instead:
Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(testfile.txt) is not within the allowed path(s): (c:\inetpub\wwwroot) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WEBDIRECTORY\test_write.php on line 5 Warning: fopen(testfile.txt): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WEBDIRECTORY\test_write.php on line 5 can't open file
I've tried a lot of permutations: originally the open_basedir line was just
open_basedir = c:\inetpub\wwwroot
...but that didn't work, either.
I've also tried entering an absolute path for testfile.txt (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WEBDIRECTORY\testfile.txt, etc) instead of just the name of the file itself, and I keep getting the same error message.
Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help.

Some time ago i purchased a paid Plugin called "RA Simple Sites" Version 0.1 from Ron Rennick to use Domain Mapping for a WPMU Installation. At that time the plugin seemed to me as a good choice because it had support and a very good documentation. It worked up to WP 3.0. Now after I upgraded to WP 3.2.1 the mapping still works, but the option to create new mappings doesn't show up.
I searched a litte bit, but it seems that the further support of this plugin (RA Simple Sites) is only possible with a paid membership. Or if I understand it right there are follow up paid plugins that are called "Networks+" and "Professional Domain Mapping". Because my sites are a litte private project the membership is too expensive for my needs and I'm a little bit confused about the Networks+ or Professional Domain Mapping plugin and wich one I should/could use. Beside of this these two new plugins seems to do more than I need!?
Now I wonder if there is a way to move over to the "normal" WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin to administer my sites. I already tried to install this plugin and it seems to work, but I don't now how I can import the already existing mappings from the old "RA Simple Sites" Plugin.
Has anybody some ideas?

on arrival we were shown to our rooms via the rabbit warren.
didnt realise until later that we were given the wrong room. to tired to to argue the toss after getting stuck in a 5 hr traffic jam on the m4. the room was ( as the tittle suggests ", ice cold " ) we even had to ask for the heating to be put on because it was so cold. The english breakfast was adiquate in size but for some reason the mushroom was smothered with freshly ground pepper so much so that it was over powering and spoilt the experience.
Quaint little village with some nice looking buildings, the square is not the place for large vehicles. if you get a single decker bus and a delivery truck in the square the village is gridlocked. If you find yourself needing a Mini cab make sure you have plenty of cash as it is quite expensive.

We believe this hotel is under new ownership and our view is that it is in need of refurbishment.
The hotel is quaint and situated in a very pretty village.
However, the bedroom we occupied faced the main square which was very noisy - refuse collection bins at a very early hour and waggons unloading. Parking is an issue - there is a one hour maximum stay outside the hotel during the daytime. The décor within the hotel was looking rather shabby and the en-suite shower room felt as though it had been fitted into a cupboard. The staff however, were very friendly and helpful.

Loved the look of the dining area. Breakfast was excellent, both English and continental options. The customer service was really kind and answered to all my needs.

Days away from Dream Cruise, Royal Oak aims to clear flood damaged items left on curbs by residents
BERKLEY, ROYAL OAK (WXYZ) - "It's contaminated and it looks like heck," said Berkley resident Pete Resetz about the piles of contaminated furniture, carpeting, and other debris from area basements that now sits curbside.
As a result of this week's heavy rainfall that left streets and basements flooded, Dream Cruise organizers are planning an additional round of garbage collection on blocks closest to Woodward Avenue.
Gregory Rassel, Public Works Director for Royal Oak, tells Action News, "We are trying to get everyone back on schedule. And, unfortunately, Saturday is probably going to be a catch up day for our garbage company, and they just don't want to be working in areas where there is excess traffic, a lot of extra vehicles parked on the street, that kind of thing."
City officials in Berkley say they are working on an additional garbage pickup.
It's also important to use caution when buying second-hand items that might have been contaminated by recent flood water and not properly cleaned, if those items can even be salvaged.
Bill Sebra of Du-All Contracting says beware of flea markets. "People are coming down the street, they're picking up this stuff, they're going to wipe it down, take it to the flea market, sell it to someone.. They don't know what they're buying, they don't know where it came from."

Disputed Deposit On Condo Shared
Scarlett Johansson's mother won back part of a disputed deposit she put down on a high-rise Manhattan apartment in a court settlement signed on Wednesday. The case focused on the falling income of Ms. Johansson's mother as the former agent of her famous actress daughter.
The case in Manhattan state Supreme Court also was testing the validity of a standard contract clause allowing a would-be buyer who can't get a mortgage to back out of a purchase agreement.
But after a dispute over claims of confidential details appearing in the media, the parties agreed to each share part of the $130,000 deposit on a two-bedroom apartment at the 41-story Strand on West 43rd Street.
Exact details weren't disclosed, but lawyers for both sides said their clients were satisfied with the settlement.
Ms. Johansson's mother, Melanie Sloan, backed out of the $1.395 million purchase in November. She indicated she couldn't obtain a mortgage because of "loss of her largest client" after she signed the purchase contract, according to her court papers.
But the lawyers for the couple selling the apartment said Ms. Johansson, who wasn't a party in the case, had dropped her mother as her agent in October, 2009, and that Ms. Sloan had long known her income would be declining.
Adam Leitman Bailey, an attorney for the sellers, said his clients "are very happy with the amount they were able to keep."
Morrell I. Berkowitz, who represented Ms. Sloan. said the dispute "was amicably settled." "It was a garden variety dispute over the contract deposit," he said.
After the deal with Ms. Sloan fell through, the sellers, Christina Castelli and Grant Moffett, put it back on the market and a week ago it was listed in contract.

WASHINGTON (January 24, 2014) Flushmate, the maker of a high-pressure flushing system sold at Home Depot and Lowe's, is expanding its recall of the parts, because they can burst near a welded seam with force enough to shatter toilet tanks.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the company is recalling 351,000 units in the U.S. and about 9,400 units in Canada of the Series 503 Flushmate 111 Pressure Assist flushing systems, which were installed inside toilet tanks made from March 2008 through June 2009.
The move follows a recall in June 2009 of the same systems made from October 1997 through February 2008.
No injuries have been reported.

TOKYO China's seizure of a ship owned by Japanese shipping firm Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (9104.T) for allegedly failing to pay compensation stemming from a wartime contractual obligation is "extremely regrettable" and could hurt Japanese business there, Japan's top government spokesman said on Monday.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga also told a regular news conference that Japan was asking the Chinese government to provide information on the ship seizure and expected Beijing to take appropriate action.
Suga declined direct comment on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ritual offering to Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, seen as a symbol of past Japanese militarism, but said the episode would have no impact on Abe's summit with U.S. President Barack Obama, who arrives in Japan on Wednesday for a state visit.

I used to be able to save to the same folder as the folder to which I saved a webpage to last time, just by default.
But since a few months ago, this has been changed. When saving, the directory opened by default is often not the one that I saved to last time.
I wonder why? Is it on purpose, or a bug? Thanks!

Pittsburgh is the city of the Deerslayer, and the American flag, and always the highest casualty rates in American wars … This is the city where they make steel, the first and the best on any continent. They make steel with white-hot heat, and fire, and rolling mills, in open spaces where men sometimes fell into molten steel, or molten steel spilled on them, and the smell (my old, now dead uncle once told me) was one you never forgot…This is Tough Town U.S.A., tough and vulgar and often mean … and where people have heart, and don't quit. They don't ask for a break, and don't expect one, because they haven't experienced many. Last quarter, seven minutes to play, and down fourteen points? That's life! … All of us here are used to it, so lower your head, plow straight on, and be determined not to be stopped, until you win. I love the Pittsburgh spirit. ' Against Adversity' is its middle name. Here they pronounce it 'grit.'
It's bad enough that all the media can talk about leading up to the game is Pittsburgh, acting like Seattle doesn't belong there, but now our Hawks are being compared to Hamas?

Which came first the condensing units or the buildings.
I use the Supco and seem to work fairly well.
I use the clear Nucalgon IM cleaner only on Hoshizakis and the green nickel-safe on everything else. If you use the clear stuff on nickel plated evaporators you just wrecked the evaporator.
I have the M12 drill and inspection scope and are very happy with them. Next on the list is an impact driver.
What about the ")" for the cap 0s and the "(" for the cap 9. The actual numbers would be better. When it comes to refrigeration you can't take anything for granted.
The "$" in place of the actual numbers doesn't help. The actual numbers are important.
Is the round block the pad for the cond. unit or is it access to some sort of man hole?

Sales rep from JB was at a counter day thing today. He had one of them there. It's warrantied for 2 years and that's it. They don't even warranty the sensor for more than that.

I never said the beer would freeze.
The beer should be 37*. The flim flam rod is frozen. It's right next to the dead condenser fan motor in the first pic.
What's up with the inverted p-trap/saddle?
All the beer distributors tell me they want 37*F. I think that the temp is too low thus causing a freezup some where.
I tried sarcasm while posting on another thread and it was not well received. I will try harder.

Skip to comments.Love Boaters Should be Benched..(Reaction to the Vikings recent boating incident)
Posted on 10/13/2005 3:15:15 PM PDT by GeorgiaDawg32
Any Viking involved in what supposedly happened on that boat, and any Viking who wasn't involved but didn't try to stop what was happening, should be booted from the active roster.
Still pay them, if that's what is needed to satisfy union requirements. But under no circumstances allow them on the field to represent the Minnesota Vikings.
(Excerpt) Read more at sports.yahoo.com ...
"I have to until I'm notified by somebody," he said."
In other words, IF GUILTY, highly paid athletes get away with what us great unwashed would already be in jail for, as long as they get on the field and win..
Does anybody else find it ironic that a Viking would be having trouble with a boating incident?
What the heck supposedly happened on what boat when? I didn't even see a link in the article referring back to whatever alleged incident the author was talking about.
A supposed outdoor orgy on the boats involving strippers, sex for pay and crew members who were supposedly propositioned..the cruise was supposed to last 3 hours, they were back in port within 1 hour..
I'm sick of these overpaid jackasses.
this is just more of the same...
yup..above the law and all that..
No, they just thought that they were in New Orleans.
No, they just thought that they were in New Orleans.
I stand corrected..intimidated is what was reported..
"I'll stick with baseball and hockey...."
And I think I'll give up on Baseball after watching the NY Yankers
sleep their way thru the playoffs -I am convinced that they actually preferred to end theseason short so they could hit the beach and spend the too-much money they have.
Love example those professional athletes set. It does seem that pro athletes live by a different standard than the "rest of us". Part may be because of the power and influence that comes with success on the football field (baseball field, court, etc.) as well as with the money.
But maybe I'm expecting too much for those who are in the limelight to at least ATTEMPT to act like the roll model that they are - regardless of if they want that title or not. Kids DO look to the pros as an example - which really scares me. Children raised in a good Christian home are less likely to be influenced - but not every child has that benefit (and that alone isn't enough to prevent all problems).
Cha-Ching! A payoff(settlement) might be in order that the wife or gf won't hear ALL the details.
I'm sure if it had been your daughter that was trapped behind a bar by five large football players while they performed oral sex ON the bar on a "stripper" and then asked the daughter if she was going to dance for them too you'd have the same attitude.
It's just sex after all.
I think I heard several Clinton apologists make the same point.
Guys and Gals having sex...Ohhh, what a terrible thing to do.
Well said
Try zero.
One lawyer hired by the restaraunt after the media got ahold of this story and were parked in droves in their parking lot.
The only reason the crew is talking to the attorney at this point is to answer questions for the investigators.
But if these thugs keep calling them liars and slanderers I'd guess all bets are off. If the Vikings organization had any brains they'd tell the players to shut up and issue an apology to the crew for anything they might have experienced and state that they're investigating.
Instead they act like the thugs they are.
Ummmm, is your name Tom Powers? Just wondering...JFK
I don't think it's about money. Tiger Woods has more $ than all these Viking morons put together. He doesn't go around
acting like a thug. Then again, comparing football and golf
players is probably apples and oranges.
See #17 and then tell me how horrified you'd be if it was your daughter.
These guys believe they have no rules. No laws. No common decency in front of people in a public place where there are people that aren't participating or expecting this behavior.
I guess the crew could have just walked away. In the middle of the lake.
< /sarcasm >
Thank you very much.
You've got that right. I'll take Randy Moss and his volunteer work at the Children's Cancer Center at the Mayo Clinic every day of the week over these pompous asses.
You've got that right. Oh I'm sure every sport has their rotton apples, but it sure seems like the NFL got more than their share.
And the coaches and other players that make excuses for them are no better than the thugs.
yeah and for all his faults, Randy would NEVER do this kinda stuff. I mean he was living in retirement communities so people would leave him alone.
I highly doubt they were peforming oral sex on the strippers. They aren't called the Viqueens for nothing.
Its not just about the sex...
This was a public boat in a public place with a crew of young adults that we exposed to this behavior... Professional football players doing this in public is a morally reprehensible act...It would be a different story if it were on a private craft of one of the players on a private lake.
What would you suggest we tolerate next watching them rape the cheerleaders on the sideline...
That is where the kind of logic that you have displayed leads... (unless of course you were being sarcastic in which case you should include a sarcasm tag at that end of the line.)
The whole thing was depraved and disgusting. And on top of it all, the poor boat employees who found themselves in a horrific situation. I think the players should be cut. They are animals. No, worse than animals. At least animals don't rent a boat and subject innocent bystanders to despicable things.
Yes, these are public boats that are rented by companies for employee parties, or by people who are having a wedding reception, that type of thing. Public boats. Public lake. Public employees on the boats.
Vikings fans, are ya?
Yes it was....
it was not a private boat. The players PAID to be on it.
Funny...but believe it.
Randy loved his bad boy image. Was he the smartest kid on the block? Probably not, but he also wasn't the worst behavior on the team. He just got noticed most because he was actually a good player.
Stupid but good.
You tell them, terilyn. People who don't "get it" are either hopelessly stupid, or just hopelessly sick.
yeah but now he is in Oakland, has easily the highest selling jersey in YEARS and maybe ever, and he is able to be the focal point of an offense that tends to put up points in bunches.
But...it wasn't my daughter, she wouldn't be involved in this scenario---willing participants were.
definitely! funny
No, the young teenaged female employees on the boat were NOT willing participants. If I was one of them, I would be traumatized. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing people perform sex acts in public.
Just because you are an employee of a company does not make you a willing participant in this kind of activity.
A horrible situation that they couldn't walk away from.
Fortunately the players and their toys were too busy to notice the boats were headed back to the dock.
At that point their handlers/babysitters/chauffers hauled them off the boats and told them to get in the cars...the party's over dude.

Mental health problems worsen after cosmetic surgery
These are tricky questions. There's actually evidence of increased mental health problems among people who've undergone cosmetic surgery. But whether that's a harmful side-effect of the surgery, or a hangover from pre-operative problems, it's difficult to say.
Randomly controlled trials would help, but of course that's not possible in this situation for ethical reasons. What's needed is a large-scale prospective study that follows thousands of people up over many years. Hopefully a sub-set will opt for cosmetic surgery during that time and then it should be possible to look for any psychological vulnerabilities preceding the surgery and any changes post-surgery.
That's exactly what a team of Norwegian researchers have done. Tilmann von Soest and his colleagues began in 1992 with a sample of over 12,000 school students aged 12 to 19 years, and then surveyed them periodically for several years. Attrition of the sample left 2,890 participants at the final survey in 2005 (many participants were lost early in the study, in 1994, because they changed schools). By 2005, 106 of the participants had had at least one cosmetic surgery procedure. This included 78 women - that's 4.9 per cent of women in the sample; and 28 men - 2.2 per cent of the men in the sample.
Because of the lack of men, the researchers focused only on the women. The majority of their operations were for breast augmentation (26.8 per cent) or reduction (19.5 per cent), with other procedures including liposuctions, ear and nose modifications.
There was strong evidence that women with psychological problems were more likely to opt for surgery. The female participants who went on to have cosmetic surgery were more likely to have a history of poorer mental health, including more depression and anxiety, more illicit drug use, self-harm and suicide attempts. Unsurprisingly, the women who had breast surgery more often had a history of less satisfaction with that part of their body (although general appearance satisfaction wasn't related to undertaking surgery). By contrast, sociodemographic factors were not related to who had surgery and who didn't.
Did the surgeon's scalpel benefit the psychological health of these women? With one specific exception, it seems the answer is a categorical "no". Breast surgery was associated with increased satisfaction with that part of the body, but having cosmetic surgery of any kind was associated with increases in anxiety and depression, eating disorders, more alcohol use and more suicide attempts. Surgery didn't boost general appearance satisfaction.
The study isn't without its shortcomings, as the authors acknowledge. For instance, the apparent adverse effects of cosmetic surgery may not be specific to cosmetic procedures but could apply to having surgery of any kind. The study also relied on participants reporting their own mental health.
This study provides "no evidence that cosmetic surgery should be used to alleviate mental health problems in women dissatisfied with their appearance," the researchers concluded. "Nor do the results support the notion that cosmetic operations in exceptional cases should be covered by the public health-care system due to a potential psychotherapeutic effect for the patient."
von Soest, T., Kvalem, I., and Wichstrøm, L. (2012). Predictors of cosmetic surgery and its effects on psychological factors and mental health: a population-based follow-up study among Norwegian females. Psychological Medicine, 42 (03), 617-626 DOI: 10.1017/S0033291711001267

Interesting study design, but that's what, 80% attrition? I think that just makes it hard to trust these findings.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Neuroskeptic - the details behind the recruitment are quite complicated and I didn't feel it was appropriate to get into them in the blog post. This study uses data from the Young in Norway Study, which began with 12,287 students. At T2 in 1994 a large proportion of the students had changed schools and the study only continued with those who remained at the same school. So there were 3844 participants left in 1994. By 2005 this has reduced further to 2840. The researchers compared the female participants who left the study early with those who didn't. Participants who smoked at T1, who had conduct problems, who had parents with low educational background and/or who were from a low population density area were more likely to drop out of the study.Delete
PS, I'm going to add in something into the post about the early loss of participants. Thanks for raising this issue.ReplyDelete
The lack of men available for such studies is truly worrying. Anecdotally in our practice in Sydney - Australia, we are seing evidence of an increase in symptoms clusters similar to Body Dismorphic Disorder where men seek to rectify issues like hair loss, acne, body hair, or more radical true surgeries and then develop greater anxiety once this does not relieve their original concenrn.ReplyDelete
In essence, I would guess that the person who opts for surgery does not see his or her way open to achieving any other solution. My guess would be a common denominator of a low self esteem and a lack of confidence...
Which is breeding ground for emotional issues anyway.
just my 0.02c
It would have been interesting if the study and in depth "emotional health" testing before, as well as at consistant intervals of the study. I realize that funding was most likely an issue, but its hard to make up a decision with such a small sample size of data and participants.ReplyDelete
This finding seems impossible but believing this won't hurt us. Anyway, I really don't see the relation between the two. I'm hoping to read further about this study.ReplyDelete
If surgery went wrong its natural the mental problems could be increased in people because of the wrong effects of surgery.I think proper knowledge should be gained before doing such procedure.ReplyDelete
Scott Loessin
I agree with Scott. Any surgical procedure is not without risk. If a surgery goes wrong then it is possible that it can affect the patients mental health. It is a must therefore to choose a board certified and experienced surgeon. Also, you need to discuss every detail regarding what result you wish to have to hopefully have a good result.ReplyDelete
Now this is scary! And good thing I was able to read the disclaimer first before I post this comment. I see this post as another version of how women release emotions through getting a hair cut or a tattoo or anything that may look at them as if they changed. Sort of diversion thing.ReplyDelete
Undergoing plastic surgery really needs preparation and careful consideration. It would greatly help if there's a good communication between the patient and the doctor so post-surgery anxieties could lessen. Hopefully, further studies about this would produce more successful results. =)ReplyDelete
Hmm... interesting, but now depends a lot from person to person if they are satisfied with their results. I also underwent a liposuction procedure by Dr. Jerome Edelstein and everything went smoothly without problems and I love my results.ReplyDelete
I had liposuction when I was 21 years old to my hips, thighs, and abdomen. The reason was low self-esteem and poor body image as a result of reading fashion and fitness magazines in my youth. Now 38, I have a daughter who has the exact same body as me, and she is beautiful and perfect, and now I realize that I was beautiful and perfect too. I was only 150 lbs, which is not obese. I did not need the surgery, but the plastic surgeon did it anyhow. I am filled with so much grief about this. I will never share the same body as my daughter because of the surgery.ReplyDelete
It's interesting to see the psychological effects of cosmetic surgery. It isn't surprising to me that people who opt for cosmetic surgery are more likely to suffer from mental health issues afterwards. They have drastically changed their bodies and that can take its toll.ReplyDelete

Talisman Energy: Troubled Oil And Gas Play Offering Over 50% Upside With Plenty Of Catalysts

- In a low-yield world, the newly launched iBillionaire High Dividend Index - which tracks the trading moves of 25 investing-savvy billionaire investors such as Stanley Druckenmiller, James Dinan and Nelson Peltz - actually lives up to its name with a dividend yield of 5.34%.
- At 24%, the index has a high allocation of energy shares, including OXY, TRP, CNP, COP, BP, ATLS, CVI, WMB, APL, RIG and ARP.
- Also worth noting is that the index contains some high-yielding mortgage REITs, an area most investors hate right now but where billionaires seem to find value; examples are NRF, AGNC and CIM.
- No mutual fund or ETF tracks this index, but it offers a fishing pond of income investment ideas to research further.
- The top 20 holdings: TLM, CVC, GM, TIME, AEE, D, STAY, KMI, TROX, EXC, STNG, PPL, IRM, PFE, KKR, KAR, F, MIC, LO, ABBV.
Dec. 19, 2014, 10:37 AM
- Even some of Wall Street's big boys are taking a beating in the oil sector: Carl Icahn's holdings of Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM) have tumbled $230M since late August, and John Paulson's firm had one of its largest losses of the year on a bet that big oil companies would buy smaller ones.
- Before TLM agreed to be bought by Repsol, which boosted TLM shares, Icahn's losses stood at more than $540M as recently as Dec. 11, and he still will have lost ~$290M at the deal price; Icahn also holds stakes in hard-hit Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) and Transocean (NYSE:RIG).
- Paulson was the biggest shareholder in Whiting Petroleum (NYSE:WLL) and Oasis Petroleum (NYSE:OAS) at the end of Q3, but his strategy could yet pay off, as many analysts expect consolidation in the energy sector as lower oil prices pressure smaller firms.
- Also caught flat-footed by the oil price pullback was Prosperity Capital's Mattias Westman, a longtime investor in Russia whose firm has lost more than $1B this year, in part on stakes in Russian energy companies Gazprom (OTCPK:OGZPY) and Lukoil (OTCPK:LUKOY, OTC:LUKOF).
Dec. 17, 2014, 2:20 PM
- New York Gov. Cuomo's administration says it will ban fracking statewide, citing health concerns and what it considers as limited economic benefits to drilling.
- NY's acting health commissioner said at a cabinet meeting in Albany today that studies on fracking's effects on water, air and soil are inconsistent, incomplete and raise too many "red flags" for the state to allow it; the state Department of Environmental Conservation will now issue a legally-binding recommendation prohibiting fracking.
- The state has had a de facto moratorium on fracking for more than six years, so nothing really changes with today's decision.
- Parts of New York sit atop the gas-rich Marcellus shale formation, whose top producers include CHK, RRC, RDS.A, RDS.B, TLM, APC, ATLS, COG, CVX, CNX, EQT, EOG, XOM, WPX, XCO, CRZO, SWN, AR.

- Talisman Energy (TLM +47.2%) explodes higher at the open after Repsol's (OTCQX:REPYY -2.3%) $13B deal to buy the company, but investors in the Spanish company aren't so enamored, sending shares lower.
- The purchase price of $8/share reflects a 75% premium to the seven-day volume weighted average share price - a hefty price that analysts say could force Repsol to consider a sale of its 30% stake in Gas Natural; Repsol chairman Antonio Brufau says his company is not considering such a sale.
- Barclays believes Repsol is getting a business that is free cash flow negative with a problematic North Sea business of questionable value, and that it should have waited longer for what could be a prolonged oil price downturn to make an acquisition.
- But considering that TLM's share price topped $11 last June before plunging to ~$4 last week, 24/7's Paul Ausick says Repsol got a bargain; TLM's main assets are high quality - in the Marcellus shale play in Pennsylvania and the Eagle Ford shale play in south Texas, as well as off the coasts of Indonesia and Malaysia - and the two companies' combined production capacity will total ~680K boe/day with refining capacity of ~1M bbl/day, vaulting it into the ranks of the 20 largest oil companies in the world.

- Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM) has confirmed that Repsol (OTCQX:REPYY, OTCPK:REPYF) plans to purchase it for $8.3B, or $8 per share in cash.
- Repsol said it would also take on $4.7B of Talisman debt as part of the deal, putting TLM's enterprise value at $13B.
- Talisman Energy's board has approved the offer and recommends that shareholders accept it.
- TLM +20% After hours
Dec. 15, 2014, 12:52 PM
Dec. 15, 2014, 9:51 AM
- Talisman Energy (TLM +21.2%) explodes higher at the open as Repsol (OTCQX:REPYY, OTCPK:REPYF) closes in on a deal and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board reportedly weighs a bid for the Canadian oil and gas explorer.
- Bloomberg reports that Canada Pension is considering making a bid for the whole company after initially considered buying parts of it, perhaps emboldened by a 59% YTD plunge in TLM.
- Expansion is reporting that Repsol's board is meeting today to approve a TLM bid.

- Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM) +17.2% premarket after confirming it is engaged in discussions with Repsol (OTCQX:REPYY, OTCPK:REPYF) about a potential transaction, and has been approached by other parties.
- TLM closed 16% higher on Friday as details of Reposl's interest leaked out; senior execs reportedly traveled to Calgary to discuss a deal that could be completed before Christmas.
Dec. 12, 2014, 12:46 PM

- The perception takes hold that a takeover offer for Talisman Energy (TLM +34.5%) is imminent, as Financial Times reports that Repsol (OTCQX:REPYY, OTCPK:REPYF) executives have traveled to Calgary and hope to seal a deal by Christmas.
- The price being negotiated is in a range of $6-$8/share, which would represent a premium of up to 117% to TLM's C$4.26 closing price yesterday; including debt, the deal would give TLM an enterprise value of $10B-$12B.

- Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM) +10.8% premarket after a report suggests Repsol (OTCPK:REPYF, OTCQX:REPYY) is finalizing a €4B for the company.
- Citing financial sources, the newspaper Expansion says a bid could come in at ~C$6/share.
- Repsol had recently revived takeover talks with TLM after dropping a plan earlier this year to buy the company, according to reports.

- Talisman Energy's (TLM +5.4%) stock has plunged 65% this year and is worth just a quarter of its value from 2011, and a Bloomberg report says a company sale at depressed prices may be more worthwhile than waiting out the rout in oil.
- Repsol looked at TLM earlier this year and is sniffing around again after plunging crude prices drove shares below C$5 for the first time in 14 years, and TLM says it has also talked with other parties; Bloomberg speculates suitors could offer C$8/share.
- "We're getting to a level where a transaction makes more sense from a valuation perspective, from a buyer's standpoint," Macquarie's Chris Feltin says.
- Not all shareholders are likely to support a sale with oil at a five-year low: In particular, Carl Icahn - who disclosed a stake in TLM when shares traded at ~C$13 - may argue for holding out for a better price.
