By Brian Winter, USA TODAY
Communities as far north as North Carolina are preparing to deal with potential oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill as it drifts into an ocean current that could take it around Florida and up the Atlantic coast.
Thicker oil has begun washing up on Louisiana's coast, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Wednesday. "The oil is no longer just a projection or miles from our shore. The oil is here. It is on our shores and in our marsh," Jindal said. Charlie Henry, a science coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said that some "light sheen" has entered the Loop Current. He downplayed the risk the oil posed to the Florida shore, saying some of the oil would dissipate while at sea and what doesn't might not reach shore for 10 days. LIVE VIDEO: Oil spews into the Gulf
HURRICANE FACTOR: Storm season may make spill worse
SCIENCE FAIR: In the Loop Current
SEAFOOD TESTING: Likely necessary for decades
"We have a lot of time to watch it," Henry said. The thickest oil from the former site of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which exploded off the Louisiana coast a month ago today, was still well northwest of the current and "not an immediate threat," he said. The Coast Guard said tests showed that tar balls washing ashore on the Florida Keys were not caused by the Deepwater Horizon, easing fears that effects from the spill were already being felt hundreds of miles away. Even so, state and city agencies were taking no chances. In South Carolina, a previously scheduled meeting of state agencies Monday on hurricane response plans will also include preparations for oil coming onshore, said Ben Fox, a governor's spokesman. "State agencies are maintaining a heightened state of readiness," he said in an e-mail. IN THE GULF: Tube siphons some gushing oil
GREEN HOUSE: How toxic are dispersants being used in Gulf spill
FULL COVERAGE: The latest on the oil spill
Joe Farmer, a spokesman for the state's Emergency Management Division, said some inflatable barriers had been "held back" in South Carolina instead of being sent to the Gulf Coast. North Carolina officials are working with the Coast Guard to develop contingency plans, said Julie Jarema, a spokeswoman for the state's Division of Emergency Management. She said Coast Guard scientists told state officials Monday there is a 1% chance that oil would hit North Carolina's coast. Harvey Seim, a marine sciences professor at the University of North Carolina, said federal officials may be underestimating the risk. He said a recent scientific study showed that water from the mouth of the Mississippi River often reaches South Carolina waters "in reasonably undiluted form" because of the Loop Current. "That shows that water from that area gets to our region," Seim said. Also Wednesday, BP, the energy company that operated the rig, said it hopes to begin shooting a mixture known as drilling mud into the well by Sunday to stop the flow of oil.

This pretty snowflake is crocheted in the round from the center out. It's a beginner-friendly crochet project that works up quickly and has many possible uses.
Skill Level: advanced beginner / very easy. You'll need to have learned (and practiced) these basic stitches: the chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitch.
Supply List:
- Yarn or Crochet Thread: You can use just about any size fiber to make this project. I used Cascade 220, which is a medium-weight yarn, to crochet my sample snowflake.
- Crochet Hook Size: To crochet the sample snowflake, I used a size I crochet hook. However, this hook size is not set in stone; you'll need to choose a hook that's compatible with the yarn or crochet thread you'll use for crocheting your snowflake.
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Finished Size:
My sample snowflake measures about 5". The size of yours will vary based on several factors including the materials you choose and your individual way of crocheting.
Crochet Abbreviations Used in This Pattern:
- beg = beginning
- ch = chain
- ch-3 sp = chain-3 space, the space formed when you worked 3 chain stitches in the previous round
- dc = double crochet
- sc = single crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- st = stitch
Snowflake Instructions:
Ch 5. Insert your hook into the 1st ch worked (the 5th ch from your hook) and work a sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Work 12 sc sts in ring. Join the work to the beg of the round with a sl st.
Round 2: Work 2 sc into each sc all the way around. You'll end up with a total of 24 sc sts. Sl st to join the work to the 1st sc worked in the round.
Round 3: [sl st in next sc, 1 sc in ea of next 2 sc, sl st in next sc] Work sequence in brackets 5 more times. You'll end up with a total of 12 sc sts in the round.
Join with a sl st to first st in the round.
Round 4: [sl st in next sl st, sl st in next sc, ch 3, 2 dc in next sc, ch 3, sl st in next sl st.] Work sequence in brackets 5 more times for a total of 6.
Round 5: [skip all sl sts. Work 3 sc sts into the space formed underneath of the ch-3 in the previous round. ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next dc, ch 3, 3 sc in next ch-3 sp.] Repeat sequence in brackets 5 more times, for a total of 6 times. At end of round, sl st to join the work to the 1st sc st worked at the beg of the round.
Finishing the Snowflake
End off. Weave in loose ends. If you crocheted your snowflake using thread or yarn that responds well to blocking, i.e. cotton or wool, block the snowflake. If you used synthetic yarn such as acrylic, there is no need for blocking. My sample snowflake has not been blocked, but it should be.
Use the snowflake as you wish; it makes a fantastic embellishment or applique. Enjoy!

Tallulah Gorge State Park
One of the most spectacular canyons in the eastern U.S., Tallulah Gorge is two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep. Visitors can hike rim trails to several overlooks, or they can obtain a permit to hike to the gorge floor (100 per day, not available during water releases). A suspension bridge sways 80 feet above the rocky bottom, providing spectacular views of the river and waterfalls. Tightrope walkers have twice crossed the gorge, and visitors can still see towers used by Karl Wallenda. A paved path follows an on old railroad bed, perfect for strollers and bicycles, while mountain bikers can test their skills on a challenging 10-mile trail. Exhibits in the park's Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center highlight the rich history of this Victorian resort town, as well as the rugged terrain and fragile ecosystem of the area. An award-winning film takes viewers on a dramatic journey through the gorge, including footage of rock climbers and kayakers.

New Mexico Stream Access Coalition - 2016
For the past 50 years, New Mexicans have slowly been shut out of some sections of the streams and rivers that are rightfully theirs to recreate on. Prior law stated that the streams and rivers of New Mexico were open for fishing and boating. But with the signing of the Steam Access Bill into law, the governor officially closed some sections of the public waters open for recreation. The ACA supports the New Mexico Stream Access Coalition and their petition to Governor Martinez to repeal the Stream Access Bill.
Reconsider bills that would limit access to New Mexican rivers and streams
2015 New Mexico Senate Bill 226 proposes amending section 17-4-7 New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978, which would redefine the ownership of New Mexico stream beds and restrict public access to these resources. ACA contacted New Mexico Senators to express our opposition to this bill.

Here is another fun way to use those Easter Eggs laying around your house from last week. In about 30 seconds you can turn them into tools to help your kids learn. All you need is a sharpie…. Write the time on one half and a clock showing that time on the other half. To make it a little more difficult you can match eggs that are NOT the same color. You can hide the eggs around the room before they start to get a little exercise in as well.

You have very good taste ;}
me too...LOVE it.
Chinese take-out
SUSHI!!!!!!!!!! Always and forever :D
me too!!! craving some from Trader Joes' TODAY...vegetable teriyaki with brown rice.
Someone just told me about a new place that delivers...DANGER!
I think that either pizza or sushi would be a good choice as it can lead to a variety. I would MISS fruits though unless I could make fruited pizza or sushi!!!
eating only one food would be unhealthy. I'd choose bread though. Fresh bread is absolutely delicious to me. I used to live off bread and peanut butter, literally.

If I had to do only one meal though I'd probably say potatoes, corn, bread and cheese, applesauce, with a decent piece of some kind of pork. Hits all the ba<x>ses and is satisfying while ensuring I don't live to wear diapers again.
steak n kidney pie !! .... mmmmmmmmmmmm ..lovely!
Chocolate ice cream...
Macaroni and cheese
it would be extremely depressing and i just can't even imagine that , for the rest of my life , kfc , nooooooo
kfc forever? I would dread using your bathroom if I was your friend.
so whats yours forever ?
Your life would not be very long, only eating one food, but I would choose a combo of bulgur, tuna fish, canola oil, and vegetables...and I would need my hot sauce and soy sauce to top it off. I know that is more than one food, but it's a meal, so I'll count it as one.
You cheater he said one food not one of each food group. Also tuna fish bleech, hot sauce yum.
hahaha...I know, but I had to try. I mean I would not live very long, eating only one of those. That meal is something I eat just about every day. I love it! ;)
I can't decide between cheeseburgers, pizza, or bacon :(
god, you're gonna die an early death.
at least he'll die happy. Fat bloated and constipated but happy.
hehehe this is true
idli and sambar.
bread stuffed with chicken and cheese and rice.
Call me crazy but I think this actually sounds like it could be good. If you could switch up the cheese and kind of chicken every now and then.

While this dish excels in reliability, it lags a bit in sexy department.... It's kind of the Honda Civic of the culinary world. It's sacred to millions, but if you want some excitement for dinner, I recommend you make another Indian or Nepalese recipe and serve this as a side dish. Much like Steve Buscemi, dal bhat is always best in a supporting role.
Prep time: 1 cocktail
1 cup brown lentils
2 tsp ground coriander
½-inch piece ginger
2 tsp ground turmeric
½ pound fresh spinach or beet greens, chopped (optional)
2 TBSP ghee, butter, or oil
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon juice
A dash of cayenne
Prepared rice (I like Forbidden Black)
In medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add lentils, coriander, ginger, and turmeric. Stirring occasionally, bring to boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer, peeking in occasionally to stir. Continue stirring occasionally until the lentils begin to soften, about 30 minutes.
Remove lid and add spinach or beet greens, if using.
After adding the greens, in a medium frying pan or wok, heat the ghee over medium-high heat. When it's up to temperature, add the cumin and fry until seeds turn a nice golden-brown. Immediately transfer the ghee and seeds to the lentils being careful not to splatter. Also add the salt, lemon juice and cayenne. Stir well and cook another couple minutes before serving over rice.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Beauforest Early OriginsThe surname Beauforest was first found in Norfolk and Suffolk. The name literally means "fair faith" and claims descent from "a locality now called Beau-Fai, in the arrondissement of Mortagne, in Normandy. Ralph de Bella Faago, or Beaufoy, accompanied the Conqueror, and became a tenant in chief in Norfolk and Suffolk. He was a near relative of William be Beaufoe, the Conqueror's chancellor and chaplain." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States Of America. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1975. Print. (ISBN 0-8063-0636-X) Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Swanton Moreley, where Robert de Belfou was Lord of that manor and held many other lordships in that county. Beauforest Spelling VariationsBeauforest Spelling VariationsBefore the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Beauforest family name include Beaufoy, Beauford, Beauford, Beaufort, Beauforest, Beauforth, Bewfort, Bewford, Bufoy, Ballafay, Belfou, Beaufow and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationTo escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Beauforest family to immigrate North America: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..

Went fishing on September 23, 2015
Capt Bob is a class act that knows the local waters like the back of his hand. I've taken a couple trips with him now for tuna and yellows and it was great! I've fished from Baja to Florida and everywhere in between and the biggest let down on a charter is low end gear and a burnt out crew that doesn't care anymore, that is not the case here! Hi quality reels from shimano, avet, and accurate and a captain that has a fire for what he does! Do yourself a favor if you want to catch fish and enjoy a top notch experience give Bob a call you won't be dissapointed!

Conspiracy theorists vandalize Great Pyramid at Giza
Published on February 23rd, 2014 | by Admin
0The men were allowed to enter the inner chambers of the Great Pyramid at Giza normally off-limits to the public and restricted to authorized archaeologists and Egyptologists. The group reportedly took several items from the pyramids, including taking samples of a cartouche (identifying inscription) of the pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops. Goerlitz and Erdmann, who are not archaeologists but have instead been described as "hobbyists," allegedly smuggled the artifacts out of the country in violation of strict antiquities laws, according to news reports.

"Langley High School was established in 1965. The name 'Langley' came from Thomas Lee in honor of Langley Manor, which was part of the home estate in Shropshire, England. Langley means 'long open meadow'. Thomas Lee was one of the first to envision the Thirteen Colonies as a separate nation whose capital should be on the Potomac between Great Falls and Little Falls. Keeping these things in mind (including the Anglo Saxon background) the school steering committee chose the nickname 'Saxons' and the schools colors of forest green and old gold with white as a trim color in keeping with the traditional theme.[3]"
The student body was 69.50% White, 20.87% Asian, 4.59% Hispanic, 1.18% Black, and 3.86% Other during the 2012–13 academic school year.[4] In the 2011–12 school year, Langley High School's student body was 71.15% White, 19.20% Asian, 4.60% Hispanic, 1.70% Black and 3.35% Other.[5]
Langley's boundaries extend west of State Route 123 (Dolley Madison Boulevard) and north of both State Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) and State Route 267 (Dulles Toll Road) from McLean to Great Falls, ending at the Loudoun County line. Small parts of Vienna, Reston, and Herndon along the south side of Route 7 are also within the school's attendance area.[6]
Until 1994, areas west of Springvale Road in Great Falls were within the Herndon High School boundaries. After leaving Forestville Elementary School, students attended Herndon Middle and Herndon High School.[7] When Buzz Aldrin Elementary School was preparing to open, Langley High School was then under-enrolled, and some residents from the Forestville attendance area requested reassignment of their neighborhoods from the Herndon High to the Langley High School pyramid.[8] As a result, school officials shifted Langley's boundary line west from Springvale Road to the Loudoun County border.[8]
During the Fairfax County School Board elections in 2011, then School Board Chairman, Janie Strauss, took credit for having "prevented changes to the Langley High School boundaries" for 18 years and for having "fought off" attempts to redistrict "current neighborhoods out of Langley".[9]
The LHS academic program follows standard Virginia guidelines, requiring 24 credits for graduation.[10] Additionally provided at Langley is the Advanced Placement (AP) program.[10] Langley offers one of the most comprehensive AP programs available, featuring more than 20 AP level classes in every discipline.[10] Significant courses include the school's Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra classes, as well as the only Russian courses offered in a Fairfax County Public High School outside of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Langley also used to contain a unique humanities department for the high school level. Students would enroll in paired English and History classes, where the curriculum paralleled one another. The humanities department was split for the 2012–2013 school year in favor of optional tied classes.
Langley High School is ranked as one of the top high schools in the United States and in the state of Virginia. In 2015, U.S. News and World Report listed LHS as the second best high school in Virginia, with Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology ranked as the first.[11] Langley was ranked 98 in the United States in 2015.[12]

Relay For Life of Langley-McLean[edit]
Since 2013, Langley High School has been host to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Langley-McLean,[13] an overnight fundraising event that has raised over $170,000 for the ACS since its 2013 Inaugural Event held on Saturday, April 27, 2013. The event is one of only two student-led Relay For Life fundraisers held in Virginia and received the American Cancer Society's "Youth Event of the Year" Award in the South Atlantic Region for their 2013 event. In 2014 & 2015, Relay For Life of Langley-McLean partnered with McLean High School, in hopes of expanding and increasing the event's reach in the local community. Relay For Life of Langley-McLean is planned and operated by a 50-member Executive Planning Committee consisting of students from both Langley and McLean High Schools, a representative from the local American Cancer Society (Mrs. Shari True in 2013, Mrs. Debi Hardy in 2014, and Ms. Katie Sue Van Valkenburg in 2015), and Langley High School's College and Career Advisor Mrs. Hannah Wolff. A mirror committee at McLean High School assists with the partnership between the two schools.
The Executive Planning Committee is headed up by two Event Co-Chairmen. The Inaugural Chairmen in 2013 were Zackary Dailey and Rosie Mahoney (both LHS Class of 2013) and the 2014 Event was chaired by Harris LaTeef (LHS Class of 2015) and Ava Shomaker (LHS Class of 2014). The 2014 Relay For Life of Langley-McLean was held on Saturday, April 26 at 6:00 PM to Sunday, April 27 at 6:00 AM and succeeded in raising $110,366.78 for the American Cancer Society. Over 630 teachers, students, and administrators attended the 12-hour event and was the largest fundraiser by financial success between the two schools.[14] Representatives from the 2014 Committee attended the American Cancer Society's Annual Campus Relay For Life Training in Atlanta, Georgia in August 2014 due to the 2014 event's success. The 2015 Relay For Life of Langley-McLean is set to be held on May 16, 2015 at James Fenimore Cooper Middle School due to the upcoming renovation of Langley High School. The 2015 Committee was chaired by Harris LaTeef (LHS Class of 2015) and Allie Eames (LHS Class of 2015). The 2015 event was held on May 16, 2015 and raised over $112,000.
Model United Nations[edit]
Langley High School's Model United Nations (MUN) program is the most successful club of its kind in the history of Virginia, as the team was nationally ranked as a Top-15 high school MUN team by the Model UN consulting organization Best Delegate in the 2013-2014 school year. The Model UN team is the largest completely student-run organization at Langley High School, with membership numbering over 120 students.
Since then, Langley High School has excelled, winning Best Large at national conferences hosted across the East Coast. In 2017 Langley's MUN team won Best Large Delegation at the circuit's premier conference, ILMUNC XXXIII--defeating many power schools such as Horace Mann, Mira Costa, J.P. Stevens, West Windsor-Plainsboro North, the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Mclean, and Princeton Day.
Langley also attends a multitude of local conferences including TECHMUN (TJHSST), CHMUN (Chantilly), PWMUN (C.D. Hylton), OPMUN (Osbourn Park), and GFMUNC (Gar-Field). Club membership is open to LHS students of all ages, who annually elect the club's five officers. In 2014, the club hosted its own inaugural high school Model UN conference, the Virginia Invitational Model United Nations Conference I (VIMUNC), attracting over 700 delegates.[15][16]

Langley High School's South Asian Student Association (SASA) is one of the most active cultural clubs of its kind in Northern Virginia. The club annually hosts Langley's renown, "International Night," providing students with the opportunity to experience various cultures from all around the world without traveling overseas to do so.

During March 2014 the club brought together six schools across Northern Virginia to celebrate Holi, a popular festival in India. In June 2014, Langley SASA hosted its first District-Wide charity event "Bollywood Bash," integrating dozens of South Asian clubs across counties in Northern Virginia and kindled a boom of cultural awareness and respect, empowering the hidden minorities and giving them an identity.[18] The club met their fundraising goal of $1,500 that night assuming its image and prestigious reputation as the first high school cultural club in Virginia to accomplish such a feat.[19] CORD, the organization the association is raising money for, is to help redevelop rural India by promoting literacy and strengthening local government.[20] SASA, as one of the most active clubs at Langley, holds monthly club events ranging from Bollywood movies, charities, dinners, dances, and more.
Langley has over 50 clubs of varying interests, including Model United Nations, South Asian Student Association (SASA), Debate and Forensics, Key Club, UNICEF Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Academic Team, Economics Club, Relay For Life of Langley-McLean and several sports and cultural appreciation clubs, including one for the performing art poi.

Langley plays in the AAA Liberty District of the Northern Region. The Langley sports teams are all referred to as the "Saxons" (or "Lady Saxons" for some women-only sports), and their primary sports rival is McLean High School. The Girls' Swim and Dive Team won districts in 05-06. The football team won the Northern Region and went to the state finals in 1993. The boys' wrestling team won the Liberty District Tournament the last 11 years straight (2001–2011). In addition, they were Northern Region champions in 2007.

To the editor:
I have been appalled recently by the selfish, hardhearted and downright mean sentiments expressed by people who don't want to be bothered to shovel their sidewalks.
Don't you realize that many people have to walk to get where they are going?
The recent snows have resulted in much hardship for me and many like me. I have been exhausted walking through snow. Many times, I have had to endanger myself by walking in the street because the sidewalks were totally impassable. Many times, I have had to stay home because going about was so difficult.
But it would have been so much more difficult without the new snow ordinance. God bless you, city commissioners!

4. My brother did that twice...
Once the victim wasn't a woman she was 6. The perp was our cousin. Before that some lady was getting assaulted in a parking lot and my brother pulled the guy off of her and beat him into a pulp he needed hospital care. He spent the night in jail the perp didn't press charges and the DA also declined.

13. I know a guy that lived by that rule in the late '80's
He, his wife, and their 2 kids are the mentally healthiest ppl I know. He beat the SH*T out of 4 guys (that I know of) in college. He was always the guy you could talk to...... He had older sisters - maybe that was it?

32. Seems like we women need to bear this in mind as well.
I have ZERO qualms about beating the shit outta any man that lays hands on me without my approval. While I realize that a lot of people have this idea that women are at some kind of disadvantage when it comes to personal defense, it ain't always so. I am not a brawler/bare knuckles person. I am, however, somebody that made the decision to resist along with the accompanying preparations a long time ago. I am willing to fight and I'm sure that I can make it hurt if somebody takes a notion to mess with me when I don't want it.
Sadly, I have to say that the best strategy is prevention. Avoid getting into that situation in the first place. That's a horrible comment on our society and the culture of rape that we live with, but it is the reality we face right now. Thing is, I have to wonder, if some of these guys got worried they might get the shit kicked outta them by the intended victim would they be quite so willing to rape? Can't say for sure, but a lot of our current attitudes don't seem to be working, maybe we women need to re-think our views. I've worked to teach my daughter personal defense. It isn't just about how to break a hold or throw a punch, it isn't just about where to hit somebody to maximize the damage and pain. It is about the mindset that you DO have a say, and you DO have the ability to react. It is also about giving her a visible role model of what it means to own your own body. THAT attitude is what I think is missing for far too many of us. YMMV. Laura |

8. I don't mean to nitpick, but #2 and #10 seem kind of redundant.
Also, using a website with the "co.uk" domain is kind of in bad taste.

.co.uk is the standard TLD for UK websites? (Perhaps you're confused and mean .co.ck? which does in fact exist, it's the Cook Islands.) |

17. This was posted recently, and it creates interesting discussion.
As long as it is not used in place of alertness, preparation for defense, etc for anyone who may be over-powered by another.
Some people are vile, disgusting human beings, and I will make sure that when I have a child they will know that. They won't live in a bubble, or believe that they are in any more danger than I was growing up, but they will know reality very young. I would say the only criticism I have about this message is that it ignores the stark reality about the percentage of rapes that are committed by "trusted" individuals. One of the taboos in this world besides being raped is being raped by a family member or someone in a position of power in the community. This OP mostly deals with the stereotype of a woman walking alone at night or getting date-raped, (which believe me if I am coming off as marginalizing please punch me through your screen), I just think there needs to be more education all around about this subject. In a perfect world, #10 is the only tip that should apply. |

That's the point I think. If that were the case none of the others would be necessary.

22. I'm female...
Grew up in the 50's and learned from a very young age that bad men want to 'get me'. I think that will be true for most women. Children need to learn about "strangers" at a young age. But they don't need to be terrified with information they are too immature to handle. On the other extreme, I was told to "lock your car doors" even at age 21. I resented that. Like I don't know?
THIS is the most important thing to correct. The attitude is still more prevalent than one might think. 1950s Brooklyn Men All Agree: Women Need To Be Spanked |

29. Targeting the PERPETRATORS of crime with this kind of campaign is a GREAT idea.
We need to do this not just for rape but for other crimes too.
TEN TIPS TO END MURDER 1. When you go into a convenience store, simply choose what you want to buy and pay for it. Under NO circumstances take out a gun and blow away the clerk. 2. Don't be tempted to kill your parents to get your inheritance sooner. Instead, learn to be patient. They will eventually die of old age. 3. Is your spouse annoying you, or cheating on you? Divorce is a MUCH better solution than murder. 4. When you see someone withdrawing a large amount of cash from an ATM, do NOT follow them, murder them and then steal their money. 5. If you are really, really angry at someone, and happen to have access to a weapon, count to 10 slowly until your anger subsides. Do not get out your weapon and murder the person you are angry at. 6. If you are a drugs dealer who has been stiffed on a large payment by a customer, report them to Experian or one of the other credit reporting firms. Don't murder them. 7. Angry at the President of the United States? Don't assassinate him. Simply vote against him in the next election! 8. Do you have an unhealthy obsession with a well-known celebrity? Don't stalk and murder them. Join their fan club instead. They may even send you an autographed photo. 9. Refrain from joining any kind of fanatical organization that advocates terrorist attacks and suicide bombings. Because that's murder. Join a more civilized club instead. How about an amateur dramatics group, or a chess club? 10. DON'T murder. |

36. I think the idea is to direct attention
to the fact that women and girls are held responsible for preventing rapes, whereas the vast majority of men who rape are never held responsible at all, not by their peers, not by their communities. (See Steubenville, rape gang; Penn State; Catholic Church; etc. etc. etc.).
It's also a clever takedown of all those "don't wear revealing clothing, don't talk to strange men on the subway, don't drink with strange men (and also, don't drink with men you know)" types of lists of "safety tips" that women have seen pretty much all their lives. But then, all that's been explained to you before, on other threads, so I doubt it'll sink in now. |

30. Problem is, graphics like this won't *actually* deter the *actual* rapists.
Although, it may help raise the consciousness of some teens and young men who haven't been deprogrammed of the rape culture (usu. result of bad/negligent parenting, of course a topic for another thread)

31. It might not
deter rapists. But it SHOULD educate the apologists, of which there are plenty. They reveal the deep seated notion that certain women are "asking for it". They excuse rape on the grounds of how a woman dresses, acts, and where she goes. That needs to be strongly discouraged. Forbidden, even. Their view is still one of men being powerless to control themselves when they are in the company of certain women. It is a sexist mindset. Feminism isn't a dirty word; and men who claim to be 'progressive' should have no part in demonizing feminists. But look around DU. They DO!
