Going through RuPaul's Drag Race withdrawal? Fear not. MTV is here to fulfill your shady needs.
It's that time of year when high schools across the land prepare to hand out their annual yearbooks. Remember those 'Most Likely' awards featured in them? Well, MTV does and decided to interview a handful of Drag Race alums to participate in a fun game.
They asked the likes of Adore Delano, Katya, Courtney Act, Sharon Needles, Jinkx Monsoon, Violet Chachki and even judge Michelle Visage to hand out some shady 'Most Likely' honors. Watch below to see who ended up receiving the most nods.
RuPaul isn't the only queen releasing a Christmas album this holiday season. Alums from her Logo show are also dropping a festive LP. The students have become the master 😉
Competing with Ru's Slay Belles for your money is Christmas Queens featuring fan favorites from RuPaul's Drag Race including Manila Luzon, Detox, Sharon Needles, Violet Chacki, Willam to name a few. The compilation album features covers of classics as well as original tunes.
Surprisingly, one of the show's most talented vocalists, Adore Delano, isn't involved. Perhaps some wig-snatching behind-the-scenes drama? Where's an episode of Untucked when you need one 😉
Christmas Queens drops on November 13. Check out one of the tracks below, "Christmas Sweater" by Alaska, Courtney Act and Willam. Weigh in afterward if you hope to find Ru's Slay Belles or this album in your stocking come Christmas Day.
You gotta hand it to Manila Luzon, she is hustlin harder than any other bitch in the game. Today she gave us a delicious holiday treat, her new music ft. our current reigning Next Drag Superstar Jinkx Monsoon.
If you've heard the song (available on iTunes) it's all about self empowerment and living ever day to it's fullest. It's also very special because it features the story of a young Sahara Davenport and we even get a cameo from our dearly departed queen.
I want to talk about the outfits in this video. In true Manila form we have got some GREAT looks, but my personal fave is the Spongebob dress and Jinkx and the starfish with the dreads. That's a REALLY good look for Jinkx, she should totally wear that when she comes to Vancouver for Battle of the Seasons (Tickets online HERE!)
It's Manila Luzon overload today at the Homorazzi offices!
In true Manila fashion she has released two new delicious morsels of fun for us. The first is a segment of World of Wonder's hit web series Ring My Bell. There is also a really amazing caller on this segment, he sounds extremely attractive and super cool!
The second is the long awaited release of her next single, this one titled "Bring It" featuring season 5 winner Jinkx Monsoon. I of course bought it at 2:30 am last night after stumbling home from Liberace Thursday, listened to it and loved it. It's got a great dance beat, a fun hook and unless I"m mistaken an homage to the dearly departed Sahara Davenport. With a really fun rap by Jinkx Monsoon, how can you go wrong for 99 cents!
If you want to get the single you CLICK HERE and get it from iTunes (she's also got it on amazon!)
Check out the episode of RING MY BELL below!
If drag queens and shirtless boys hanging poolside are two of your favorite things, then you simply have to watch the following videos. Being that it's Sunday, I like to give a little behind the scenes insight on our writers every now and then.
Our very own Tommy D holds some of the most kick-ass parties during Vancouver Pride. You're bound to bump into a few alums from RuPaul's Drag Race at his TFD Presents functions. All the crazy shenanigans were captured on film at his Heatwave pool party featuring Jinkx Monsoon and Morgan McMichaels along with his Wizard of Oz-themed Rapture Vancouver Pride closing event. Check out both clips below.
Continuing with our Vancouver Pride 2013 coverage, I'm sharing our very own Tommy's Pride lineup. If pool parties, wicked music and RuPaul's Drag Race are your thing, his TFD Presents events are a must. Shangela, Morgan McMichaels, Manila Luzon and reigning winner Jinkx Monsoon will be serving MAH-JOR FIERCENESS at their respective performances.
Speaking for myself, I can't wait. You'll definitely spot me there, not only to support, but to have a kick-ass time. Check out details for each party below. Just in case you missed it, I also embedded the sexy video promo for RAPTURE: VICTORY featuring Mackenzie Green. See you at YVR Pride.
I'm surprised RuPaul didn't think of this sooner. The grand dame of RuPaul's Drag Race is heading out on the road. Correction. Ru herself isn't going, but she's sending her trusty hag Michelle Visage to oversee and host the Battle of the Seasons tour. Tickets go on sale today Friday, July 19. No stalling and be sure to act quickly just in case the show in your city sells out.
"I am honored to be the hostess (a.k.a drag mother) to these talented queens, and we are overjoyed to be working with the legendary Live Nation to bring the art of drag to yet another level: theater," Michelle Visage said. "RuPaul's Drag Race has given the art form a voice, and we cannot wait to use it at a theater near you!"
Yes, I'm aware what date it is. Yes I know when TO Pride was. But after waking up in a wheelbarrow in Tijuana it took me a while to find my way home. But actually Toronto Pride was a little like that this year.
I was thinking of calling this "Toronto Pride 2013: Sea of Tears" after Willam didn't show for the weekend, but then it really did feel like the Pride that "Never Ended" because he did in fact show up the weekend after. Okay, let's back track.
Pride Thursday I didn't get a chance to go to the Green Space at the 519 and see Jinkx Monsoon perform. The crowd apparently was unreal, the show great, but being a little disappointed I bucked up and moved on because it was Pride, and this was the Pride when everything just worked out for me as you'll see. I had a great time at Fly later that Thursday for Prism's College party, and if you're not a circuit queen, this is the Prism party to go to next year. Every age and shape shows and has a great time, the music is dece, it's a Thursday and there's still a great party, so there's that. And the great thing is Shangela killed it on stage. Went to meet a friend for a cocktail upstairs though, and lo-and-behold there was Jinkx sittin' pretty anyways, so got to have a bevvy with her after missing the show and she was an absolute dream and a truly lovely person. Nic – 1. Highlight of the night was having Shangela throw, literally throw me her phone in a panic and yell the password at me, and then tell me to bolt for the balcony to film her on stage because no one had been assigned to. I've never been so panicked! She may be 4 feet tall, but she gets what she wants with that voice! The footage was gotten.

Page 71 - To be exalted thus :" — " Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
Page 112 - NO more, my God — I boast no more Of all the duties I have done ; I quit the hopes I held before, To trust the merits of thy Son. 2 Now, for the love I bear his name, What was my gain. I count my loss ; My former pride I call my shame, And nail my glory to his cross. 3 Yes — and I must and will esteem All things but loss for Jesus' sake ; Oh ! may my soul be found in him, And of his righteousness partake.
Page 64 - Tis his almighty love, His counsel and his care, Preserves us safe from sin and death, And every hurtful snare. 3 He will present our souls, Unblemished and complete, Before the glory of his face, With joys divinely great. 4 Then all the chosen seed Shall meet around the throne, Shall bless the conduct of his grace, And make his wonders known.
Page 112 - Not with our mortal eyes Have we beheld the Lord, Yet we rejoice to hear his Name, And love him in his word. 2 On earth we want the sight Of our Redeemer's face, Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight To dwell upon thy grace. 3 And when we taste thy love, Our joys divinely grow Unspeakable, like those above, And heaven begins below.
Page 165 - Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my. God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.
Page 131 - While like a penitent I stand And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burdens thou didst bear When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there.

Boston's traffic is still shit.
Fascinating. And what did you do after that?
What were you wearing? Where did you stay?
that sounds like fun!
I'm sure McCain and his mother are old enough to remember the Boston Massacre taking place.
I miss Boston
I loved all that stuff growing up.
Henry Knox bringing the cannons through terrible weather from Fort Ticonderoga (from where the defeated Lobsterbacks had withdrawn to Canada in the very early stages of the Revolution), then George Washington hurriedly had them set up on Dorchester Heights -- overlooking Boston Harbor -- forcing the astonished British to evacuate forces, loyalists and fleet or face possible slaughter. I saw that one when I was a kid. March 17th. Evacuation Day. It's coming right up.
All that shit. Bunker Hill, Paul Revere. Lexington and Concord. Love that stuff.
Afterward, high on tea and cookies, I took the T across town.
And then you came back to Seattle and realized, "Holy Fuck, our transit sucks ass!"
(not that it's the only thing better about Boston that this post indicates -- cf. Dan's earlier bitch today about rusted signs passing for history.)
@7: Ah, for a world where no one could possibly confuse the town of Concord with a French supersonic plane.
@7: me, too. You can rent a canoe and paddle under "The rude bridge that arched the flood...where once the embattled farmers stood." Also, don't forget Old Ironsides.
Ah, I'm in good Revolution-era company!
Not a re-enactment, but the Granite Railway was the first chartered railroad in the country...
So the colonists thrown rocks and ice ("snowballs") and the soldiers return fire? This is just the sort of propaganda that will pop up in Iraq if we withdraw. It certainly mirrors what we see in Palestine, with children goading soldiers into making them martyrs.
Effin' American Terrorists.
Afterward, high on cocaine and Jack Daniels, I misled the country into war.
Was this the place and time that Crispus Attickus got shot? Yes - I could check it on Google or Wicky - but maybe one you history buffs will oblige with edifying enlightenment.
@14, yes.
It always surprised me when I lived in Boston that there was no monument or easily visible marker at the site.
@14 and 15: Crispus Attucks, one of the first casualties of the American Revolution, was African-American. But you probably already knew that.
Here's a photo of the Boston Massacre tombstone...

Remember that time where you could breakup with your boyfriend and that was it? You had a cry, your friends consoled you and, although it was hard to forget him, he was out of sight and therefore out of mind quicker that you could say "check out that cute guy".
Breaking up with a boyfriend now is a totally different ball game. Even if you delete him on social media, pictures of him can still pop up on your friends' newsfeeds. Even that guy you had a one-night-stand with "likes" your pics and can check out your musical taste on Spotify. Yep, thanks to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram (the list goes on), there's no way we can fully avoid our exes, so here's how to manage it.
Forget me not
When the love of your life becomes the ex-love of your life, it can be pretty hard to forget about him. Being connected with him on social media, but not IRL, is seriously tricky territory. "It's hard to cut all social media ties with someone you've dated. When you're with someone they become part of your circle of friends so even if you've deleted him, your friends might not," says Isiah McKimmie, relationship expert. "The 'unfriend' has become uncommon because we like to play it cool and act like we don't actually care and can totally cope with seeing our ex on social media." But beware, this is opening yourself up to daily updates about how well he is doing without you. And don't even get us started on seeing pics of him with a new chick. Ouch.
Online relations
So even if you dated a guy twice or slept with him once, you still build up a strange quasi-relationship with him when you're linked via social media. "Even casual dates have expansive biographies to plow through and life narratives you can follow for years. You hear about their hangovers when you check Twitter for the morning news. They can jump into your pants whenever they want by sending text messages that land in your pocket," says Maureen O'Conner who wrote about social media relationships for the The Cut.
So even though you barely, ahem, spoke when you spent the night with this guy, thanks to communication 2.0 it feels like you really know him when you actually don't, which makes it harder to let go of the non-relationship. So think very hard about befriending a new guy on FB ladies because it could be only a matter of days before you regret having the constant reminder of your drunken night.
We can't shut the door
Having our exes on social media can mean that we can never fully shut the door on them. As Maureen says, this can be pure torture. "I have a friendwho tried to erase an ex-boyfriend. They dated for two months, until he dumped her using a technique known as 'the fadeaway'—'just blowing me off repeatedly after all of this intensity,' Celia said. His online presence became salt in her wound, 'Tormenting me by tweeting every five seconds.' Even when she stopped following him, she could not escape the retweets."
Is your ex care-factor pretty high? "It's time to really think about why you care so much when you see him on social media or feel the need to Facebook stalk him every now and then," says Isiah. If it's because there's still some hope there or you still have feelings for him, you need to detox your ex out of your life. Say hello to a social media detox.
Log off
OK, so we've established that it's kind of impossible to fully control alt delete an ex from your life but there are ways you can deal if you're finding constant updates on his life unbearable. "You need to make a really conscious decision to move on, it's so easy to let what they're doing on social media affect you - even when you think it doesn't. If you didn't have social media you'd restrain yourself from going around to his house to stalk him or call up his friends and find out who he's dating, right? So try to exercise the same restraint online," says Isiah.
Practise self-control by not clicking through if you see an update or pic of him posted online. Make your main focus on making you happy and also, being happy for him that he's moving on with his life.
The reactions shocked me.

I think DKS is positioned for a significant decrease in its stock price due to the following reasons; 1) stock is near all-time high and looks like it is rolling over from a technical perspective; 2) the stock seems significantly overvalued on virtually every metric valued at a P/E of about 28x; 3) the company is facing significant compedative pressure from the likes of Walmart and Target & I would not want to face off against those two companies; and 4) there is significant commodity cost inflation that could dramatically lower the company's margins and cause EPS estimates to move down significantly.
Topa - If you're a short seller, then I can't give you any advice cuz I don't know anything about shorting. But if you do any long term investing you should listen to what Lyons and Mawchek said.DKS appears to one of those growth stories that can be very profitable over a 3-10+ year period. I know that buying and holding doesn't get much press nowadays, but take it from some of us oldtimers - that strategy can be very lucrative.Good luck whatever way you trade. I will admit that traders and shorts can make money with DKS. But 5-10 years from now I expect my DKS holdings to be a great investment.PS: Buy and hold doesn't always mean buy and forget. I stay on top of each investment as best I can. Some I sell [or slowly sell out of] and some I average in more or just hold.
I agree DKS is richly priced on a P/E and PPE basis. It's gotten there through outstanding operational performance. Also, management has commented input prices may have some detrimental effect on margins longer term. Note they have also said suppliers are expected to work with them on this issue.Your comment on competition from WalMart and Target shows me you know little about Dick's and its competition. Your tired assertion has been discredited many times over the years and is little more than a canned assumption. WalMart and Target serve very different customers, carry far smaller assortments and offer much lower price-point merchandise than Dick's. Dick's, as they say, is an authentic sporting goods retailer.Mawchek

Janelda Minor, RN, MA, watched her mothers sedentary lifestyle limit her ability to do simple activities, such as walking to the mailbox. "I decided that I didnt want to end up like that," said Minor, manager of continuing medical education at Orlando Health.
That motivation helped Minor lose nearly 30 pounds with the weight lifting and cardio exercises she learned from Orlando Healths Wellness Center. "They really helped me tackle my goals," she said.
Orlando Health Wellness Centers personal training helped Minor design her exercise program and change her lifestyle to include healthy eating. But not all hospital wellness programs offer such specialized attention. A survey of 876 hospitals showed that "more intensive one-on-one activities such as personal health coaching and a 24-hour nursing hotline are rare," according to the January 2011 American Hospital Association report, A Call to Action: Creating a Culture of Health.
The American Hospital Association used that report to call on leaders to create cultures of health, including wellness centers that could improve employee health and reduce costs.
Seeing the savings
At Baptist Health South Florida, the Wellness Advantage program prevented about $17 million in costs in 2011, said Leah Holzwarth, MS, ACSM, CWPM, the programs corporate director.
With the 12-year program, the health system watched its rate of diabetes among employees drop from 12% to 5% in the past 10 years. And smoking rates, improved through a tobacco-free campus initiative, dropped from 15% in 2008 to the current 4% rate, Holzwarth said. Wellness Advantage also pays half of the fees for employees to participate in Weight Watchers, and about 900 have taken advantage, she said.
At Orlando Health, two people lost 37 pounds each during a weight loss challenge from January to April. Participating team members at the winning hospital lost 3.4% of their body weight in pounds, said Lee ODonnell, BSE, corporate manager of Prevention and Wellness at Orlando Health.
Employees also can see personal financial savings through wellness programs. About 35% of the team members who have Orlando Healths insurance earned a $5 discount every pay period for participating in BMI, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings, ODonnell said.
Baptist Health South Florida employees can earn a $150 premium credit each on their medical plan by completing an online health assessment, having screenings done and participating in two Wellness Advantage programs, such as a recent pedometer challenge.
More than assessments
Wellness programs extend beyond just health screenings at many hospitals. Baptist Health South Florida, whose Wellness Advantage program has the goal of creating the healthiest workforce in America, has nine 24-hour fitness centers at its hospitals and corporate offices, Holzwarth said. It also provides subsidized, prepackaged meals that are healthy and cost employees $3 plus tax and include a bottle of water. About 180,000 meals were sold in 2011.
Orlando Health has a similar program in which a $4, portion-controlled meal includes a protein, vegetable, fruit and bottle of water, ODonnell said. The organization also color-coded its salad bar, ranging from green for vegetables and healthy choices to red for items such as bacon bits.
Orlando Health also started free nutritional counseling for employees that includes three face-to-face sessions with a registered dietitian within eight weeks. Employees call for appointments, and "within 24 hours, we were booked three months out," ODonnell said.
Programs for high-risk employees
The My Unlimited Potential program at Baptist Health South Florida focuses on employees with chronic diseases or the risk of those illnesses based on health assessments completed online, Holzwarth said. The 12-week program includes exercise for three hours each week with an exercise physiologist, meetings with ARNPs and nurses, and home visits. Employees receive fruits and vegetables, as well as guidance on how to cook them from a dietitian. "We try to make the healthy choice the easy choice," she said.
Patients who have been in the My Unlimited Potential program have decreased A1c levels, eliminated need for some medicines and stabilized chronic illnesses, Holzwarth said.
Minors personalized exercise program also has helped her husband. "He adopted the same dietary restrictions I have," she said.
She has stuck with the program for six years. "I just love it," she said. "They really made a believer out of me. I feel less stressed and happier."

Did you know you were going to have a preemie?
I had no idea. I did think she was going to be an Easter baby though. She was due 4/14 and Easter was 4/4. I kept telling everyone that I wasn't going anywhere. Little did I know she would be here a lot before Easter. The night/morning she was born I thought she was dead. I started gushing blood and I couldn't feel her moving. I wasn't really sure what to think until I got to the hospital and they did an ultrasound. Even then I wasn't sure she was going to be born. I guess I was in denial or shock until we were in the OR.
Claire: Mom to Afton. Born @32w due to complete placental abruption. 21 day NICU stay. 3lb 11oz @ birth. 15 months and 19lbs 4oz!
I knew that I would be having DD a LITTLE early, like 37 weeks because at 24 weeks I was diagnosed with PIH and told that they wouldn't let me go past 37 weeks. Lo and behold, went for a doctor appt and u/s at 29 weeks and was 4 cm dilated and having contractions. I was immediately admitted. Everyone thought I'd be having the baby that weekend. Luckily, I held off and didn't have her until 33 &6. After I got admitted, I was almsot positive she'd be early, I just wanted to make it to at least 32 weeks!
Me (32) & DH (37)
DD #1 born 8-14-10 33 w, 6 days ( 3 lbs, 7 oz)
DD #2 (cerclage baby) born 10-5-15 39 w, 5 days (7 lbs, 10 oz)
I figured I'd go early, but not this early. My OBGYN kept telling me that her last couple sets of twins were around 35 weeks and that 35-37 was pretty normal with twins. She told me she'd be giving me the steroid shots for the boys' lungs at 32 weeks no matter what. What I didn't expect was that a routine u/s at 28 weeks would land me an overnight stay in the hospital with the doc and nurses working to stop contractions. I went home on trebutaline, but continued to have infrequent contractions. At that point, we knew it was just a matter of time. Still shocked when my water broke at 33w3d, though.
Mama to 33 weeker di/di identicals N and M (March 2010) and tiny termie T (September 2012) ... math geek ... married to a math geek.
my c-section was scheduled for 32 weeks but I kept going into labor on my own and had them at 31
-often imitated, never duplicated-
I never got over the *just in case something happens* feeling. I never relaxed.
^^^ This exactly. It's so interesting how many of us just had a bad feeling..
After experiencing a miscarriage, I had loss dreams every single night for all 25 weeks, even before I hemorrhaged at 14 weeks. It was brutal. We never set up the room, never bought anything. Meanwhile, they refused to give me the steroid shots when I asked, after having 5 minute contractions for 2 days at 25 weeks. They really didn't think anything was going to happen. I even got cleared to fly to a wedding if I wanted, that week!
I guess I just decided along the way that I couldn't believe a baby was coming until I hit 28 weeks. So when I wound up on the delivery bed at 25, I just thought it was over. Then 25 weeks in the NICU... there are still days I can't believe we have a baby home with us. It's pretty incredible. I'm still getting my mind around it.

H, arrived 40w3d April 1, 2014. 8lb 12 oz. Hearty boy.
Something crazy to add, when I was 12 weeks and just found out it was twins, I was telling a family friend twins usually deliver early. I was due June 6th, and I meant to say, "that means they might deliver them May 18, the anniversary of the day Mount St. Helens blew" But I actually had a brain slip and said March 18 instead of May 18. They were delivered March 18, at 28 weeks.
Identical twin boys born at 28 weeks 4days.� Ronald� and Alexander. Very little but very healthy.
I never got over that feeling either. From my first appointment they kept asking if I was having a vbac or c-section. I said I didn't know a lot could happen before that date. They said I needed to decide at 36 weeks.
I didn't fully realise how much could and did happen.
When it came to delivery at 33 weeks I still had the choice of delivery and was having hard time deciding. Went c-section to avoid risk of cord compression but couldn't believe I had to choose.

I did not know that I was going to have preemies, but I knew it was more of a possibility since I was carrying twins. I did have a nagging feeling that I had pre-eclampsia though. I was having very mild symptoms like swelling and borderline high blood pressure and some pain in my upper right stomach, but that is all very normal within a regular pregnancy so my gut feelings were dismissed and only when I kept bringing it up did my dr finally do a 24 hr urine culture and found out my proteins were through the roof. So I was ordered to hospital bedrest and it was a matter of how long we could keep them in (I was 34w 2d) and we were hoping for a few weeks but I stopped producing urine and had a c-section the next day.

So this time I was terrified that we would lose him. I had some spotting in the first trimester, which didn't happen my first two pregnancies and that got my anxiety going. I calmed down a bit and then all of a sudden I started bleeding, well hemmoraging at 23 weeks. Doctor told me we were going to lose baby but transferred me by air ambulance to a hospital with a level 3 nicu anyways. I stayed there, on hospital bed rest until 28 weeks and then came home as our hospital can handle 28 weekers. Was on bed rest at home until the bleeding got worse and was hospitalized again. My water broke at 31 weeks and I became terrified that the same thing was happening. I felt like my body was going to kill my baby, I just kept bleeding and baby was moving less and less. I begged them to take baby and after 48 hours doctor said baby was no longer thriving and it was time to listen to me and take baby.
I too was thrilled to have a preemie. It was definitely my best case scenario.
With my DS, from about 20wks on I "knew" something wasn't right. At 24wks I was diagnosed with IUGR, but at the time really didn't understand the full meaning of that, other than DS was small. I kept telling my mom and my DH at the time that something wasn't right. DS NEVER moved. I only remember feeling him kick once. Other than that, he would have the hic ups daily, and other than that NOTHING. I never got that reassuring "kick" or "tumble" daily to let me know he was still in there. I brought it up to my OB and he said it had to do with the position of my placenta. I still didn't feel right. I bugged EXH, my mom, and my DR for the next few weeks. Then sure enough at my check up on Dec 21st, I was spilling protein in my urine, blood pressure was 190/115. Our town doesn't have a NICU, so I was sent home on bedrest while my OB called around to the hosp. in Dallas (an hour to hour and half away) to find an perinatologist to see me. It was Dec of 99, so 2 of the hosp were unable to schedule me for a couple of days due to running checks on the "computer systems" in prep. for Y2K. Once I heard my laid back, mild mannered OB screaming on the phone that "next week" will be to late, I knew that things were going downhill fast, just as I feared. I went home on bedrest, he called at 6 that night to give me the name and address of the peri that would see me the following morning at Medical City of Dallas. We went and saw Dr. Anderson at 9am the following morning. Was admitted to the hosp right after the Level II u/s and was started on steroid shots. The plan was to get both shots in me over the next 24-48hrs, then plan on delivery in approx 5-7days. However the following afternoon, DS started decels that they couldn't control and my BP spiked even higher. I was rushed to the OR as they didn't feel that DS could tolerate labor so induction was out of the question. This all started at 6pm that evening on the 23rd, and DS was born at 6:42. I remember the Dr and anesthesiologist having a heated discussion about the baby being able to handle waiting the 20min that it would approx take for the epidural to take effect, or if putting my under general was the best idea. In the end we had time for the epi to take effect and DS came into this world at 3lbs 4ozs.
With DD (8yrs later) I had severe spotting at week 6-7-8. I was in the ER once it got so bad, and truly thought I was having a miscarriage. I feel bad now, but I refused to get attached to the idea of being pregnant, because I honestly didn't think I would stay pregnant. I really had a feeling that I was going to miscarry. It wasn't until I had my first BFP U/S at 18weeks that I relaxed a little and accepted that there was a baby ALIVE in me. I was so so sick with her morning noon and night until week 14-15, the spotting stopped around 8-9 for good, and then the pregnancy was smooth sailing. I really thought that I was going to carry to term this time. She kicked and moved constantly, something that DS never did. I felt so reassured that this time, everything was going to be different. Then at 31weeks 4days, her moving decreased, I was having regular contractions, she had "dropped", I was losing my mucus plug, and my BP was high. I was placed on modified bedrest and terbutalin (sp). This was on Tuesday. I went home, took my meds round the clock every 3 hours and did my kick counts. Wednesday and Thursday the contractions slowed to no more than a couple an hour and she was moving and kicking pretty regular. I got up Friday and had to get my DS ready for school. I noticed while I was up and getting stuff ready for him that I was having "cramping" but didn't start timing them as they seemed fairly mild. Took him to school and came home to get a bath. DD always seemed to move a ton when I took a bath. She didn't move at all.. Got out, drank OJ and laid down for kick counts. Waited an hour, nothing. Called the OB and told him I couldn't remember really feeling her move since the night before, and that I was having cramping that was getting stronger and more frequent. He sent me to L&D for a NST and to be monitored. They hooked me up, and almost instantly DD began moving. I thought, man I over re-acted, they are going to send me straight home. That was 10am that morning. The nurse said DD was moving up a storm, so that wasn't a concern, but I was contracting every 2-3min and my BP was high again. The plan then was to get me stable enough for transport to Medical City of Dallas once again for delivery in a hosp with a NICU. I was still on tributalin, and they added in magnesium sulfate. This all started at 11. Nothing was helping. Then DD started decels and showing signs of distress. My OB walked in and sat down on the bed. He said that they could not transfer me in active labor and with such elevated BP. The only option was for me to be delivered at my hosp. and then DD to be transferred out after birth.. DD was born at 1:52 and care flighted out at approx 4.
DH and I had talked about having 1 more so that DD would have a sibling close in age, but we decided that with my body not handling pregnancy well, and the fact that my babies seem to be earlier and smaller, it just wasn't a good idea.

One of the best-known of the abandoned constellations, because it has given its name to the annual meteor shower known as the Quadrantids that radiates from this area every January. Quadrans Muralis occupied what is now the northern part of Boötes, near the end of the Plough's handle (or, alternatively, the tip of the Great Bear's tail).
The constellation was invented in the 1790s by the French astronomer Joseph Jérôme de Lalande (1732–1807) to commemorate the wall-mounted quadrant that he and his nephew Michel Lefrançois de Lalande (1766–1839) used for measuring star positions; 'muralis' is Latin for 'wall'. Lalande took his cue from his countryman Nicolas Louis de Lacaille who, forty years earlier, had populated the southern sky with new constellations representing scientific instruments. Lalande followed suit by putting a quadrant in the northern sky.
Quadrans Muralis first made its appearance under the name Le Mural in the 1795 edition of the Atlas Céleste of Jean Fortin, another Frenchman; this revised edition was edited by Lalande and his colleague Pierre Méchain. The new constellation appeared on only one plate of the atlas (Plate 2) and was not mentioned in the accompanying star tables, which remained unchanged from the first printing. However, in a table of circumpolar stars published in 1796 in the Connaissance des Temps, Lalande listed ten stars of 5th to 7th magnitude as belonging to the constellation, although more than this were shown on the atlas.
Its name was Latinized from Le Mural to Quadrans Muralis by Johann Bode in 1801 on his Uranographia star atlas. Bode shrank the constellation slightly by comparison with Lalande's original to avoid overlap with its established neighbours. It was evidently considered sufficiently well established in the 1830s when the Quadrantid meteor shower was first recognized and named, but even this was not enough to save it from extinction by the end of the 19th century.
Quadrans Muralis lay just above the outstretched arm of Boötes, with the body of Draco further north. It is depicted here on Chart VII of the Uranographia of Johann Bode (1801).

The Acura RL's Bluetooth setup for hands-free calling is straightforward, but oddly, you can perform the setup via voice command only. As with all Bluetooth-equipped cars, we recommend you talk to the dealership service department to check compatibility with your specific wireless phone before buying the car. Once paired to the car, your phone will show various status messages on a minidisplay embedded below the speedometer, rather than interrupting the main LCD information. This is a smart interface choice by Acura. In fact, that same ergonomic idea is seen in the small helper display above the main LCD, which shows useful information such as the time, the radio frequency, and the thermostat setting, all without having to interrupt the main LCD, which is probably busy with navigation information.
The 2005 Acura RL's audio system embraces the new DVD-Audio trend in car audio. Incorporating Bose CenterPoint technology, the system lets you play 5.1 DVD surround sound with excellent spatial positioning. There are 10 speakers onboard, driven by a 280-watt, six-channel amp.
In the invisible tech department, Acura's active noise-cancellation system is particularly intriguing. The RL samples road noise via two headliner-mounted microphones, then uses the sound system to cancel the same frequencies. This system works the same way noise-canceling headphones do, and Acura says that the system allowed it to the cut back on the amount of heavy, bulky sound deadening material the company had to stuff into the doors and the body panels of the RL.
Acura has taken a high-tech approach to maintenance and customer support via a system called AcuraLink. Using the same XM satellites that deliver audio and traffic data, your RL can receive diagnostic support, intelligent maintenance reminders, and on-demand tutorials to help you learn the car's various systems. Since AcuraLink is integrated with the car's Bluetooth hands-free system, the driver can respond to service prompts and messages with one-touch dialing either to reach an Acura dealer to schedule service or to get Acura roadside assistance--providing they've set up a Bluetooth phone with the car.
On top of AcuraLink, the RL also comes standard with OnStar telematics and a one-year complementary subscription to its Safe & Sound service, which includes remote door unlocking, air bag deployment notification, stolen vehicle locator assistance, and emergency roadside assistance. The RL's bumper-to-bumper and power train warranties both cover four years/50,000 miles--somewhat skimpy coverage compared to the power train warranties on competing Lexus and Infiniti vehicles.

There have been many experiences during my relatively long life where someone has "borrowed" money and failed to pay it back. My advice to anyone having this experience would be to call this "loan" a gift. You will feel better about the whole transaction and be able to truly get past it and forgive and forget. Otherwise you may lose a good friend, and have anger in your heart which will canker your soul. The Savior has love and mercy for me when I fail to do as I promised. Can I do any less?

This article is freaking brilliant! I'm saving this! I've seen family relations (Not directly with me) canker and die due to petty little issues that if people cared more about family instead of themselves so much happier would everyone be and so many memories that could have been cherished never happen.

Early in my marriage my parents financed a used car purchase for me. I know they would have treated the loan like a gift, if needed, but they still held an expectation that I repay. I worked my hardest to get that amount paid off and ended up paying it back very quickly, much more quickly than if I had financed with a bank. While it's great for the sake of the lender to have an attitude of gift it's equally as important for the lendee to feel a responsibility to repay the amount.

Be wary if you are loaning money that you need to get back, ... to anyone you are unwilling to sue. Instead invite them to eat at your table.

ATM, A2P and A2A is what defines this series as packed full o' cocks sliding from between the holes of multiple young-looking girls.
This sometimes oddly retro looking, but strangely attractive, assortment of chicks share everything between them, including double dongs, vibrators and dicks. In order to make things easier, they're sometimes stacked on one another.
Tina gets a bit overly enthusiastic while stroking and sucking her boy toy's cock and has to be slowed down. Things get extremely intimate when cum is spooned from Vika's ass into Nikki's mouth before the video ends in a Sapphic kiss.
The DVD release includes two disks, one of which includes fetish menus and an appealing assortment of still images for each girl.

Nice shot.

Beautiful contrast and a lovely angle! Completely stunning.
Beauty red...
great shot
So beautiful.
Wow, dramatic and beautiful. Great image!
fantastic colour of hair nice photo
A photograph is, at its simplest, the capturing of light. Light is everything and it doesn't come easily. This deviation is a superb blend of technical and artistic talent from both the photographer and the model, with a maybe even some help from a make up artist (which is not to be overlooked).
Woow! Amazing

After growing up in the small state of Delaware, Scarlett proudly made her first career move across the country to Lubbock, Texas ready to call the Lone Star State home. Her first job was as weekend anchor and reporter for KAMC-TV (ABC, Lubbock).
The most memorable story she covered in the South Plains was one of the worst dust storms the town has seen since the late 70's. She was live outside for over five hours with a 23 car pile up behind her and a stomach full of dirt. Scarlett also did a story on the reactions of families in Lubbock who have adopted Russian children. This story came days after the controversial ban on Americans adopting children from that country took effect. It was a story very close to her heart, because her younger brother was adopted from Russia.
Scarlett graduated from Elon University in North Carolina with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. During her time there, she won an award for her feature reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists. While at Elon, Scarlett also had the opportunity to intern at NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams in New York, FOX News in Greensboro, North Carolina, and ABC News in Houston. She began her journalism career writing for her high school newspaper in 9th grade, and she never switched paths. Scarlett says it's a story's ability to make people laugh, cry, and feel that has kept her passionate about the news industry.
She was a Division I Soccer Scholarship athlete at Elon and still finds time to play. When she's not working, you'll either find her out on the soccer field, at a live music venue, enjoying the outdoors or trying to cook a meal (not her strong suit). You can see Scarlett on FOX 7's Good Day Austin Saturdays & Sundays 6-8am.

This paper describes a video coding system based on motion-compensated three-dimensional (3-D) subband/wavelet coding (MC-3DSBC), which can overcome the limits of both 3-D SBC and MC prediction-based coding. In this new system, spatio-temporal subbands are generated by MC temporal analysis and a spatial wavelet transform, and then encoded by 3-D subband-finite state scalar quantization (3DSB-FSSQ). The rate allocation from the GOP level to each class of subbands is optimized by utilizing the structural property of MC-3DSBC that additive superposition approximately holds for both rate and distortion. The proposed video coding system is applied to several test video clips. Its performance exceeds that of both a known MPEG-1 implementation and a similar subband MC predictive coder while maintaining modest computational complexity and memory size

I use the human condition template for my site -- http://www.themattrix.com. I'm a newbie and would appreciate a little help. I need to know a couple of things...
1. How do I get rid of the Link Category displaying in the sidebar. I don't categorize my links and would just like the links posted. You'll notice that I added "Links:" to be uniform with the rest of the items in the sidebar. Any ideas on how to get rid of the extra category header.
2. My calendar starts with Monday. Any easy way to make switch that to Sunday? Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

WTTC urges French Government to reconsider anti-competitive tourist taxation plans.
Sunday, 17th August 2014
Source : World Travel & Tourism Council
Plans by the French Government to increase tourism taxes on hotel guests in France will have a detrimental effect on the long-term economic growth of Frances Travel & Tourism industry and MUST be scrapped, according to the WTTC.
WTTCs research shows that direct increases in taxes on tourists have the effect of deterring travel and reducing overall taxation income explains David Scowsill, CEO & President of WTTC. Taxes must stimulate growth, rather than thwart it. The French Governments plans to increase the tourism tax by up to433% will inevitably prove counter-productive to the French economy.
Travel & Tourism is a major pillar of the French economy, which contributes to economic growth and job creation, Mr Scowsill continues; The industry contributes 9.5% of Frances total GDP and supports over 2.8 million jobs or 10.5% of total employment. It needs to be protected and encouraged. This punitive proposal will do the opposite ".
The World Economic Forums Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2013 ranks France 140 out of 147 countries in terms of price competitiveness. The taxation proposal comes on the back of a rise in hotel VAT in France from 7% to 10% at the beginning of the year.
Mr Scowsill argues that the French Government is getting its priorities completely wrong; Austerity measures in G20 countries including France took their toll on Travel & Tourism last year. With recovery in the Eurozone now underway, more Europeans should be travelling domestically and regionally this year. But the 3% VAT rise and these additional hotel taxes will only further erode Frances price competitiveness. It is completely the wrong way of going about stimulating demand. We urge the French Government to reconsider and urgently reverse the recent rise in hotel VAT and drop this latest proposal.
According to WTTCs Annual Economic Impact Report 2014 for France, Travel & Tourisms direct contribution to the French economy declined by 0.2% last year but is expected to grow by 2.3% this year, outpacing overall economic growth at 0.7%. International visitor spending in France was relatively flat last year, whilst domestic expenditure fell by 0.4%.
Mr Scowsill argues that the Government should be concentrating its efforts on other policy areas such as visa facilitation, where it can increase arrivals, tourist receipts and jobs; The private and public sector need to work together in France to ensure that the business environment is conducive to the growth of the industry. France needs to co-ordinate its policy making and implement measures, which develop higher spending and longer stays. We applaud the Governments decision at the beginning of the year to introduce fast-track visa applications for the Chinese, so that permits are now processed within two days, rather than the previous 3-5 days but we would encourage France to go even further. WTTC's research* shows that visa facilitation is central to stimulating economic growth and job creation and can increase international tourist arrivals by 5-25%. WTTC would encourage France to introduce this policy for more emerging economies such as Thailand, Indonesia and India, where there is a burgeoning middle class, who are keen to travel. It is policies such as this which will help the industry, rather than taxing tourists and putting them off travelling. The French Government needs to stop viewing tourists as a revenue source and see them as a revenue generator.

wonderful mp experience
after playing on numerous ffs servers, i finally found one i really enjoyed playing on. i won't say which, since i don't want everyone flooding it.
almost all the servers i've played on annoy me to some extent. i prefer to use the lightsaber exclusively, so i get tired pretty quick with servers that have all weapons enabled. i don't whine though. i usually just try to find a saber-only server. even so, many of the ffs saber servers have their own share of problems. mostly it's a mob of people swinging their sabers around trying to hit something. boring. i try to challenge people to duels, but a lot of times they're uninterested or too dumb to realize what's going on.
anyway, i found this 8-person server with the admin actively playing on it. when your saber is off, no one is allowed to attack you. likewise, you can't attack anyone (force counts as attacking, obviously). even though it was ffs, it was a lot like a duel server, with everyone else having their sabers off and watching the duelers. but we were free to fight on our own if we wished. a lot of courteous people on there as well. after every duel, we'd complement each other.
playing on this server has been the most satisfying mp experience i've had yet, and i hope it stays open.

Just thought it would be interesting to know if we are experiencing similar symptoms, since we would have the same or about the same due date..I'm getting soo anxious especially because our gender is a surprise!!
Is your due date on or around Sept. 22nd?
My original due date is the 25th, but because I'm a scheduled CS (this will be my 3rd), I'm going in on the 17th. Hoping he holds out until then. I really don't want to have him on/near Labor Day weekend and hoping to avoid 9/11 as much as possible, such a sad time! I think we'll be ok. Having lots of pressure and was thinking he may have dropped a little, but had my first internal exam on Mon and Dr said he was still high. Back next Thurs, we'll see. Also extremely swollen, trying to keep the feet up and drink lots of fluids but that's kinda hard with a 7 and 4 yr old who are still home on summer vaca!! :) I cannot wait to meet this little guy!!
Jake Dillon (7*14*05) Melina Ashley (4*18*08)
Nico Anthony - Scheduled C-Section (9*17*12)
I'm technically due the 21st but have a scheduled c-sec on the 13th. If I make it that long; I'm contracting every time I move.
LPN, currently SAHM to Toddler KM & Toddler KD.
Married DH 7/08; DD 9/11 (Craniostenosis); DD 9/12; expecting a boy in May 14!
Due 9/25, scheduled C-section 9/20. lots and lots of pressure and crampiness. achey and unable to sleep. I am so ready to meet my little man!
DD - Alexandra 7/7/02
DS Vaughn 9/20/12
Jared (16) Jada (13) and Marina (2)
due the 23rd but she is already been giving me contractions for 5 days and dialted to 3cm as of tuesday in the hospital
Wow a lot of c-sections scheduled! I also have one scheduled in case my baby is big. (Sept. 16th) My first one was 9 lbs 7 oz and did a lot of damage so I don't want to go through that again! So I'm hoping the baby is either smaller or decides to come sooner than my c-section because i'm also nervous about the c-section! I started to dilate but I'm only at 1 cm as of last week, I hope i don't get stuck at 1 for weeks!
I'm due the 23rd. No scheduled C-Section.....doc is letting me just hang out until I go into labor for now! lol. I'm dialated to a 1 and not very thinned out as of my last week appointment. I have another one today so hopefully I will have made more progress.
Blessed 6 weeks early with Alison Faith 3/22/08.
Blessed 3 days late with Abigayle Grace 9/26/12.
My due date is exactly 9/22 but we scheduled the c-section on 9/15! I am so so so ready.

United States stocks lower, setting up third consecutive day of declines
Richard Drew, Associated Press
Lower stock prices on Thursday set up investors for what would be their third day in a row of declines.
Stocks have risen sharply this year, and some analysts have been wondering if buyers will begin to get more choosy. Also, some investors are worried that a recovering U.S. economy suggests that the Federal Reserve may wind down its stimulus, which has helped to lift stock prices.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 75 points, or 0.5 percent, at 15,768 as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down three points, or 0.2 percent, at 1,777. The Nasdaq composite edged up a point to 4,005.
Stocks posted their biggest declines in five weeks on Wednesday, but the Dow is still up more than 20 percent for the year, and the S&P 500 is up almost 25 percent.
In economic news, the number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose to about where it was before the Great Recession.
Also, U.S. shoppers spent more money on appliances, furniture and cars in November. Spending had been muted for months heading into the crucial holiday shopping period, a worrisome sign for investors. Retail sales rose 0.7 percent, the biggest gain in five months. October sales were also revised higher.
Facebook jumped $1.96, or 4 percent, to $51.32 after the stock was added to the S&P 500 index.
Lululemon Athletica plunged $7.57, or 11 percent, to $60.70 after the upscale yoga clothing maker issued a poor sales outlook. Lululemon said a key sales figure will be flat in the next quarter, and revenue for the year will be less than it had predicted. The drop comes two days after the company shook up its top management ranks.
Hilton Worldwide, the world's largest hotel company, jumped $1.61, or 8 percent, to $21.61 on its first day of trading. The company raised $2.35 billion in its initial public offering, more than the $2.1 billion generated by Twitter's IPO last month.
Stocks were lower in Europe, too, including a 1.1 percent decline in Britain's FTSE.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.88 percent, from 2.85 percent on Wednesday.

I have a background in Analysis, specifically with Baby Rudin. However, as many people note, Rudin does not do a very good job discussing differential forms. Could someone please refer me to an online resource which will help me best understand differential forms with the background I already have?
There are similar questions on this site, you should search and find more materials referenced there, besides those I give here. For example there are good free online notes by Sjamaar - "Manifolds and Differential Forms" which require almost only advanced vector calculus and linear algebra to be studied. Another nice elementary summary of the concepts and uses of differential forms are the notes by Arapura - "Introduction to differential forms". Finally, there is a draft old version available online of the popular book Bachman - A Geometric Approach to Differential Forms.
I recommend From Calculus to Cohomology by Madsen and Tornehave. It covers differential forms in detail, both in Euclidean space and on manifolds, and gives an introduction to de Rham cohomology, the main tool for studying them. You can also use it as a first exposure to algebraic topology.
I was recently in your situation and encountered this book
It is written at a beginner level and is very easy to read for some with your background. Plus, it combines all of the relevant linear algebra and vector calculus into one book leading up to differential forms.
Another book that is extremely well written which covers the topic is Loring Tu's "An Introduction to Manifolds."

It delivers what it promised: a highly interactive Law & Order detective game in which you make the choices while you're trying to solve a case. The game looks and feels like you're in the Law & Order world and you'll find yourself interrogating many people, searching clues, intimidating (with the typical 'smart ass' talking) and making deals (if you want) with the suspect and of course you'll defend your case in the courtroom. After finishing a part of the episode you'll get a detective score to see how well you did and get a chance to re-do it all for the perfect score and when you finish the courtroom part the episode is done just as the Law & Order series would end. Are there no flaws? Well, I can think of two but they are not game breaking. First would be the voice acting. While not bad, the quality could have been better. Its like they used cheap microphones and thats not good. Other thing is that an episode will be difficult to complete if you don't do it in one sitting. Each part in the episode gives you clues you have to remember for the next parts until the episode is finished and stopping in the middle of it will make it hard to go on. Besides those minor flaws this is a very decent game that won't disappoint fans (like myself) of the series.… Full Review »

The "game" is entirelyLet's start by setting the record straight: this isn't so much a game as it is an interactive episode of Law & Order. The "game" is entirely on rails. Where you go, when, and to whom you talk are entirely scripted. Your only interactions with the game are multiple choice selections for dialogs or objections in court, and object-finding in a crime scene. The main "challenge", and I use the term loosely, is to remember details that you saw or heard earlier because they will be needed to justify your decisions. If I were rating this purely for the game aspects, I couldn't honestly give it more than a 2.However, as I said, this is really an interactive episode of Law & Order and as an episode (7 episodes, actually), it really works. Telltale managed to recapture the mood of the TV show very well and fans of the show will find themselves unconsciously filling in any gaps because everything else fits so well. The result, as a fan of the show, is a very enjoyable experience. A big plus is that Telltale did not make use of their usual irritating and immersion-killing timed actions. One thing to consider is that "Law & Order: Legacies" is approachable even by people who aren't usually gamers and who may not enjoy more frenetic computer games, so you could finally draw in your grandmother to play computer games with you.… Full Review »

These spurs have rivets that put 4 holes in my boots. I have to keep duct tape over the rivets in order to stop this from going completely through my boots.. The rivets are what holds the metal button on which you attach your spur strap to. I do not recommend these if you like your boots! I used them before I noticed what was happening or I would have returned them and now my boots are ruined anyway.

Skip to comments.North Korea's undercover journalists revealmisery of life in dictatorship
Posted on 11/27/2010 9:51:39 PM PST by Nachum
With its ruthless dictator, network of forced labour camps and iron grip of its ruling party, North Korea is the last country one might expect to see a middle-aged woman berating a policeman for demanding a bribe.
But extraordinary video images smuggled out of North Korea, combined with reports of graffiti and posters critical of the regime, indicate a growing willingness among a previously cowed public to speak out and demand change.
Such dissent would once have been unthinkable in the reclusive state, but now hunger and plummeting living standards are now triggering demands for freedom - something that no North Korean has ever experienced.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
I cry reading this.
There is a video of a poor girl in the article. She sleeps in the open. Has no food. Starving to death. That makes me cry.
The North Korean version of the Soviet samizdat. NK has lasted as long as it has because its people have no way of comparing their situation with life in China, Russia and South Korea. But change is coming and no society can remain in the grip of a totalitarian ideology forever.
Very sad.
Thanks for that. I just put a hold on it at the library.
That girl gathering grass made me want to weep, it's just pure evil.
Things are slowly changing in NK. More knowledge of the outside world is creeping in, and Westerners are visiting in larger numbers. This stands in comparison to the Cold War era, when it was very difficult for people from non-communist nations to visit. Slowly, the populace is starting to realize how much better life is in the outside world, and so we begin seeing acts of protest here and there.
This process is being helped by the overall breakdown of NK's infrastructure. Back in the '70s, it would have been all-but-impossible for undercover reporters to operate there.
Iran's Ahmadinejad auctioning his '77 Peugeot 504 for charity
Don't forget that China has starving population also. They are constantly dealing with violent unrest and probably do not want another flood of hungry people streaming to their country for bowls of rice.
We forget that America is generally a land of plenty, even for the poorest among us. China probably does not want to invest one soldiers life in anything going on in NK as long as the problems stay there. They are looking at this latest escalation and imagining the conflict dragging them into it and costing them more than they can afford.
Just my 2 cents.
"They do honestly fear the wave of refugees, but they can go to hell for enabling it."
There are several reasons why China continues to prop NK up:
1. They dislike the idea of a unified, US-backed Korea on their border.
2. Ideological reasons. North Korea is one of the few remaining communist states.
3. China doesn't want a million refugees pouring across its border.
4. North Korea is useful to keep around for annoying the US whenever we complain about China's trade practices.
Netflix currently has on their streaming video a National Geographic about North Korea. It's well worth the watching to see how propaganda and utter fear have affected the population alone. We watched it today.
Thank you for the link to the "Vice Guide to NK". OMG. They are 'Crazyland'! Huge army, no electricity, little food, no cars. They are certifiably insane.
The average "citizen" of most countries would love the lifestyle and opportunities of America's "Poor."
"I agree with all of your points. I would add that the one child policy has created a schizophrenia in China. They claim that they cannot support 1.5 billion people yet are terrified at what the demographics of the one child policy will do now in one generation."
On the surface, China looks like a fat, happy, rich, growing superpower. But they have a lot more problems than you might think. The demographic issues you mentioned, horrendous pollution and environmental damage, imbalanced distribution of wealth between the cities and rural region, endemic corruption, widespread discontent among farmers, and finally a relatively impotent government that lacks the imagination or ability to solve these problems.
We might have problems and we might be unhappy with the current president, but America's troubles don't really seem all that bad compared to the ticking time bomb in Asia.
The irony is that, in terms of natural resources, North Korea is even richer than South Korea. If it were not so horribly mismanaged...
bump for later
My favorite part was when they're at the huge, empty restaurant, obviously a Potemkin, and all they can rustle up for a main dish is some ox knuckle.
I would love to condemn all communists in this country, including liberal democrats, college professors, hollywood stars, and news reporters to live in places like North Korea or Cuba for 2 years. That they would live like the peasants, not the few chosen elite. Then, I would bring them back and see if they had their reality check.
I like that. It also has deeper aspects to it then the obvious.
We need Takerholics Anonymous
My name is poorer then dirt and I am a takeaholic.
The more I take the more I want. I am never sastified.
I am caged in by the givers who steal stuff from honest hard working productive members of the society.
If the givers would stop stealing from its subjects and allowing other more special subjects to take the stolen stuff, I could break free from my chains.
"China probably does not want to invest one soldiers life in anything going on in NK"
They would happily invest one soldier's life. But not $20.
They do not think like we do.
And this is the system that's supposed to care for the little man, or so we're told.
Unfortunately, totalitarianism is almost as self-sustaining as democracy, and democracies are fragile. Look at the whole of human history and tell me that totalitarianism doesn't last "forever". Maybe it doesn't per se, but neither do men and women.
In North Korea, the Living envy the Dead!
all they need is the right people running things there and communist would work.. rinse, repeat..
Coming soon to a nation near you.
Just keep voting Democrat. :)
Such dissent would once have been unthinkable in the reclusive state, but now hunger and plummeting living standards are now triggering demands for freedom -- something that no North Korean has ever experienced.Thanks Nachum.
***no cars***
Take a visit to the streets of Pyongyang by way of Google satellite. It is amazing.
The traffic girls are pretty cute. Of course there's no traffic.
Thanks for mentioning that, I am watching it right now. Sad and frightening.
You're welcome. It was quite a revealing video IMHO. Our jaws dropped when we saw the recipients of the eye surgeries overwhelmingly and repeatedly thanking their dear leader instead of the people who donated their time and hard work to help get their eyesight back for them.

A 47 year-old Kirkland woman is in stable condition at Overlake Medical Center after a wayward tire smashed through her windshield and landed in the passenger seat of her car on Tuesday morning.
Anita Manueltiqui of Kirkland was driving westbound on SR-520 near the 92nd AVE N.E. exit when a tire, with part of the rim still attached, broke loose from a trailer being towed by a pickup truck and ended up inside her vehicle.
The pickup was headed eastbound at the time and the driver stopped at the scene. Washington State Troopers are investigating whether to pursue charges against the 39 year-old Tacoma man driving the pickup, which was towing a flatbed trailer loaded with some 2000 pounds of equipment.
