i'm planning to come for the meet & greet but will be late as it starts at 6.30pm based on the schedule..

Hey soni,
You may know the answer to this – My luggage is slightly out on the dimensions – 31″ × 16″ × 15″ instead of the 29″ × 20″ × 10″ do you think this will be an issue or not? Nothing like leaving it to the last minute :) We head out of here tomorrow!

Hey guys,
For those that asked earlier where the Minus 5 bar is in Sydney, it use to be in East Circular Quay. Micheal and I went in 2007 so I'm only assuming it is still open :o)

The Battle of Water Pump Hill
Scene 1: It was an Autumnal evening in Cragdale. On water pump hill and Anthanus and Mr Fungus was taking tea. Mr Mungo and Basil Coilspring were taking Steinbot monster through his battle plan. Augustus blood pump was sleeping in his brass coffin. It was late Victorian era. And evening tea was the height …of sophistication. Which was odd for gangsters but these weren't you're everyday gangsters. They were gentlemen gangsters. Though somewhat clumsy. Which is why they had a robot and a steampunk vampire fighting for them. Whoever monster won they got control of the water pumping station. To the dismay of professor Hicks. Who's pumping station it was but lost Ht in a game of black jack at the gangster's casino? And the Coilspring brothers not to be left out wanted it too. Being useless at fighting for themselves hired the services of Steinbot and Augustus.

Chronicles of Rilim
Home Page
Welcome to Rilim!
harsh land recovering from the devastation wrought by an immense disaster some 850 years ago. A land where strength and guile are not just advantages, but necessary traits just to stay alive. A land sparsely populated by a hardened people who have not only survived, but have reclaimed much of what was lost to them.
Two cities have been established, and both are prosperous with a healthy trade established between them. But outside the cities the land is still wild and inhospitable, with ferocious creatures and bandits attacking the unwary and unprepared.
Adventure and opportunities abound for those brave or foolish enough to seek it.

The NHRA Gatornationals has always been one of the most exciting events of the year for me. As, a matter of fact I have been attending the event for over 25 years. My childhood, high school and even college years are filled with many fun memories of this event. Since, joining the industry this year will mark my 17th year of attending the NHRA Gatornationals. The golf tournament has added a new level of fun to this already exciting event. The golf tournament takes place on Wednesday, prior to the national event allowing sportsman racers, media, manufacturers reps and midway workers to participate in the event.
On Wednesday prior to the AC Delco Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida racers, fans and manufacturers representatives experienced a fun filled day of golf at Ironwood golf course. Fortunately, the golf course is located just a few miles from Gainesville Raceway. During the outing a mother alligator and her two babies were spotted in the golf course pond. This provided some insight into the naming of this popular NHRA national event. D.R.A.W. members and board members were present to help coordinate the golf tournament including Vicky Aswege, Beth Hyatt, (current President), John and Diane Cole, Rosalee and Terry Noble.
The NITRO FISH longest drive was presented to: Kip Rhoton; The NITRO FISH Closest to the Pin was presented to: Scott Vandenburg. The LUCAS OIL/LUNATI first place awards were presented to Flight A and Flight B teams. Members of the flight "A" team were: Jeff Atkinson, Steve Cohen, Jeff Strickland and Mickey Whaley. Members of flight "B" team were: Tom Jenkins, Karen Miner, Mark Miner and Wayne Ulmer. The golfers enjoyed beverages courtesy of LUCAS OIL and food courtesy of SUNCOAST PERFORMANCE. The annual D.R.A.W. Florida Golf tournament is one of the most enjoyable events of the year for sportsman racers and manufactures.
One of the more popular events for fans and professional drivers is the annual D.R.A.W. auction held each year at the NHRA event in Joliet, Illinois. This year it will be held at the United Association Route 66 Nationals on Saturday, June 6th. The auction includes a small silent auction and a live auction hosted by NHRA Announcer, Bob Frey. The live auction includes items such as autographed uniforms by drivers, artwork of various professional drivers and memorabilia items from some of the most popular NHRA Professional drivers.
So come out and join D.R.A.W. for this fun filled auction on June 6th in Chicago, Illinois. Next month we will find out the results of the fun filled D.R.A.W. auction. On a separate note the month of May pays tribute to Mothers.
I was reading a quote the other day from Sophia Loren, " When you are a Mother you are never alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."
Being a Mother is the most rewarding job ever. Your children are always in your thoughts and their well-being is always a concern no matter how old they are. So, remember to think of those special mothers on MOTHER'S DAY on Sunday, May 10th.

'Suicide Squad' TV Spots: Will Smith Isn't a Fan of Public Displays of Affection
Posted on Saturday, June 11th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton
The release of Suicide Squad is still a couple months away, but Warner Bros. Pictures has already begun the onslaught of marketing on television with a batch of TV spots that debuted earlier this week during the NBA Finals. There's a lot riding on the next film from the DC Comics cinematic universe after the studio was not happy with the box office performance and reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice earlier this year. Thankfully, everything we've seen so far paints this as the DC Comics movie that will make fans and general audiences alike very happy.

Marinated Mozzarella Balls
Gail Herbest
These are so easy to make and so good you can add any spice you prefer or leave the ones out you don't care for, After marinating I pour the marinade over the balls for dipping crusty bread. Great snack! I use the Boccaccio (small mouthfuls)size but you can use the smaller bite size one's or buy the cheese in log form and slice to the thickness you prefer. You can also half the recipe if you want. The 3- 8 oz size I use yields about 20 cheese balls
- 3 pkg
- of mozzerella balls packed in liquid (8 oz) drained
- 3/4 c
- olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 1/2 tsp
- thyme, dried
- 1 1/2 tsp

- 1/4-1/2 tsp
- red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp
- rosemary, dried
- 1/2 tsp
- garlic salt or powder if you prefer
1Mix oil and seasoning together in a zip lock bag.
2add Mozzarella balls and turn bag several times to coat.

WXYZ Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next (WXYZ) - If your teen is going to prom for the first time this year, you may be surprised how much that one special night is costing parents. According to a new study conducted by Visa, the average family is planning to spend $1,139 for prom in 2013, an increase of 5% from last year. That total includes all aspects of prom, including the dress or tuxedo rental, hair, makeup, nails and transportation. Families in the midwest plan to spend the least in the country, an average of $722. Northeastern families will spend the most, an average of $1,528. Southern families are expected to spend an average of $1,203, and Western families will spend an average of $1,079. The study also found that families making less than $50,000 per year plan to spend more than the national average. Single parents plan to spend twice as much as married couples on their teen, according to the study. If you're looking for ways to save, Visa has provided the following tips: Shop for formal wear at consignment stores or online. As with tuxedos, many outlets rent formal dresses and accessories for one-time use Have make-up done at a department store's cosmetics department or find a talented friend to help out Split the cost of a limo with other couples, or drive yourselves Take pre-prom photos yourself and have the kids use cell phones or digital cameras for candid shots at various events. Work out a separate prom budget with your child well in advance to determine what you can afford. Set a limit of what you will contribute and stick to it. If teens want to spend more than that, encourage them to earn the money to pay for it or decide which items they can live without. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

In Defence of MIA's 'Bad Girl' Arab-Bashing
Pop-artist Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam (AKA M.I.A), has made sand-ripples of protest through her latest music video stunt, an ethnically-posturing rich desert recording. Laden with crass stereotypes, (Arabian horses, big Jeeps and Arab men watching women misbehaving) the politically correct watch-dogs have raised the alarm lest her latest musical offering makes an offensive ethnic commentary. Others have sprung to the defense of the sassy British-Sri-Lankan star as show-casing some Arab home-truths to make a statement about gender inequality, as per the Saudi driving ban.
The 'terrorist' (self-appropriated label by the pop rebel, in reference to being refused visa entry into the US in the past) 'refugee' icon, rapper of Tamil, Sri-lankan origin has made a desert storm with this video in the same week as she offended NBC viewers with her obscene finger gesture at the Super Bowl.
Better known by her stage name, M.I.A, which chimes in with her given names, is no stranger to controversy and media sh**-stirring making some noise or having pop videos banned, visa applications rejected or her whole persona put-down (as per New York Times profile by Lynn Hirschberg). In fact this has been the story of her fame-game so far. This time she has been accused of propogating Arab stereotypes by her latest release Bad Girls that shows scenes of Arabian desert (courtesy of a Moroccan filmed backdrop) with war-clad woman and Arab-garbed men. She is also no newbie to treating ethnic profiling in her music videos. Her past hit Paper Planes tackled immigrant stereotypes ("All I wanna do... bang bang, Cha-Ching.. is take your mon-ey") and scored acclaim as the supporting song for the hit block-buster movie Slumdog Millionaire. Forget any upset caused by Bad Girls, her most 'bad' offering yet is Born Free (banned from video-viewing site Youtube) that shows an American army rounding up 'gingers' (red-heads) and killing them in an ethnic cleansing-esque, graphic assault. MIA has proven herself, if nothing else, not censory shy.
This video is no more shocking than many a rap video show-casing their hyper worlds of gangsta culture. At least, M.I.A switches the setting to Arabia, adding something original and fresh to the storyboard (even if visited before by fellow rap-artist Busta Rhymes - also abrasive and in your face - and already having tested his tricks on crude Arab stereotypes – as per "Arab Money").
For one thing, the lady MIA has certainly done her research. The drifting (or Arabic tash-feet, see videos shown to the left) subculture has long existed in Saudi Arabia's sleepiest of desert spots, with reports of such perilous activity dating back to the 1970s. Reckless driving and even the curious phenomenon of 'sandal skating' (see video to the left) is a pursuit that Arab male youth in the Arabian peninsula are known to partake in, in a country where social restrictions, or 'boredom' breed entertainment and invention in play.
Set to her bland, crude cool lyrics featuring themes of living fast, dying young, hitting, banging, tied hands and bling, M.I.A's video if anything sidelines its bad, oriental girls for the typical sand warriors – the men and their recreational pursuits - at home in their Kingdom.
So first off, she presents an accurate picture of male customs in, supposedly, the KSA. Secondly, if she's being accused of stereotyping, then she's turning the oriental fantasy on its head when she has Arabian women dressed in khaki styled, though still Arabian, dress or gear, toting guns and strutting their stuff with a swagger unknown to the conservative female society that has women closed off or 'haremed' from the male gaze. M.I.A's girls are a far-cry from the harem-veiled subversive mysterious women of the oriental fantasy in their floaty feminine veils, if we're accusing her of feeding stereotypes. She's toying with the militarized West infiltrating Arabia. Sexing it up a notch to have her 'bad girls' owning male guns and aggro. And rap-artists have the prerogative to sexualise and play with stereotypes, do they not?
Her crime then? A minimalistic lyrical music video exploring recreational (but not totally fictional) Arab desert activity oft' witnessed among Arabian male-thobe-dressed types.
"Bad Girls" is surely not something new in pop-world with Madonna and many before singing vacuous lyrics on 'material' feisty or just 'naughty' girl types. If 'bad girls' on this occasion signifies gun-toting or even, in being strewn over, and in, cars, rebel girls in a country that prohibits them from driving (while filmed in Morocco it is meant to represent Saudi Arabia), then the video presents a distinct challenge to the stereotype of Arab subjugated women. All this in the same week as her superbowl lewd gesture to the camera that showed she couldn't care less for causing offence in any sector. She is not afraid to trash social graces as well as smash gender or racial stereotypes. She's used her song videos to launch statements on racial profiling, immigrant stereogtyping, prejuidice, racial persecution and indiscriminate killing in her rude girl past.
If anything, this music video's cardinal sin might be to have undermined the campaign for Saudi's women to be trusted behind the wheels, given their male role-models' blatant disregard for road-safety.

Then after they have done that, they should wait and hide in a safe place and wait for further orders. Meanwhile, Orochimaru begins his battle with his former sensei, The Third Hokage. They both display powerful techniques in what the observing Anbu describes as a "Kage-level battle".

Team Grades: Seahawks Get Kick Out Of 10-9 Win Over VikesSeattle (11-6) still found a way to leave a bitterly cold Minnesota with a 10-9 NFC Wild Card victory, thereby punching their ticket to the second round of the playoffs, meaning a date next Sunday on the road yet again with the top-seeded Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Football: Top 10 NFL Kickers To DraftLet's not kid ourselves: a kicker is not going to win you a fantasy title. But in a tight match-up, you'll take all the points you can get. All of these players are last-round selections, but you might as well have a strategy for crafting your kicker rankings.
The Many Highs, Few Lows Of 2013 Seattle SeahawksWhen you win the Super Bowl, there isn't much to complain about as far as overall team performance is concerned. But here is a look back at what the Seahawks excelled at and aspects of their game that they will need to tighten up next season.
In Year Of Kicker, Best 2 Meet In Super BowlIf the Super Bowl comes down a last-second field goal, might as well head for the fridge. If your team has the ball, the question is not whether it's going to be good - it will - but whether to pop the cork on that bottle of champagne you've been saving for some big occasion.
Practice Squad Players Ignored But Vital At Super BowlThey don't get much attention, this week or any other. Yet they're a vital part of a team's preparation. They are the practice squad.

As you said no one wants them. Stapleton and Hartings were let go because they were nothing more than mediocre and really started the mediocre interior line play that troubled us for the past several years. They were cut and the rest of the NFL wasn't interested that is why they retired. Kemo never developed into what he was capable of and had to be cut.
Hopefully with DeCastro and Colon at Guard teaming with Pouncey we can once again see dominant interior line play similar to when we had Faneca, Hartings and Simmons (pre-diabetes). We have had mediocre players in there for way to many years to the point we actually thought they were OK.

You're welcome.
I have a bridge that spans a creek in my backyard . Normaly there is just a trickle of water flowing . During periods of hard rain , the water can rise well over the bridge with a VERY strong current . The bridge supports are sunk deep in the ground
to prevent it being washed away . Something to consider .
what type of bridge did you build? are the bridge supports concreted into the ground? any chance you could snap and attach a pic?
I was thinking about maybe making a bridge like you would see over a river, two supports on either side, cable high and low, treads supported on the bottom cable (even though i am not sure how to actually afix the treads to the bottom support) -
any ideas on where to look?
found this website with links to several sets of plans for different bridges - http://www.backyardspaces.com/bridge.html
will figure it out.
Check out the Lava Canyon Suspension Bridge. Might give you some ideas.

With the low ratings, WWE officials want to put out a product that's a little different than what we've seen over the past year or so. We can also expect to see more wrestling-heavy WWE programming.

20 Career Lessons from Celebrities
Tania Khadder and Zac Frank
#5: Kim Kardashian
Lesson: It is who you know.
Long before she was known for her "assets," Kim Kardashian came into the spotlight as the BFF of celebutante and tabloid favorite, Paris Hilton.
She now has her own reality show (Keeping Up With the Kardashians), a workout DVD and of course, a sex tape. In addition to being friends with Paris, Kardashian is the daughter of late OJ Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian and the stepdaughter of Olympian Bruce Jenner.
Is it fair that she rakes in millions for no other reason than who she knows? Of course not. But life rarely is. And nepotism is not exclusive to the entertainment industry.
Most people get jobs through someone they know. Who you know may not make you millions or snag you your very own TV show, but he or she can help you get a foot in the door and set you on your path to career success.

If you already have a larger tube of ointment, you can make your own single-use packets with a drinking straw, a lighter, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. Advertisement Whenever someone has a cut or scrape it's helpful to have Neosporin or other antibiotic ointments on hand to prevent infection before sealing the wound with a bandage. Brian's Backpacking Blog came up with this simple method of making single-use packets: Squeeze some of the ointment into a clean (unused) drinking straw then pinch off the straw end with needlenose pliers and seal the end with the flame from your lighter. Turn the straw around, cut off your section from the rest of the straw and seal the other end the same way as the first.Now you have a cheap, lightweight, and strong way to carry antibiotic ointment. The author of the original article has used this method many times and has never had a packet burst open. I'm sure there are many other substances you could seal in packets using the same method. You'll find step-by-step photos and more detailed information at the link below. Advertisement Single Use Antibiotic Packs | Brian's Backpacking BlogReply38 repliesLeave a reply

Thanks falko, we'll do. There truly is 2GB recognized by the bios. You can see in my first post for this thread, the lswh result for bank 0 and bank 1 have 1GB chips in them. Cheers! Ken
I personally believe it has to be a configuration or kernel issue. We took another PE1750 (identical) down to the data center with 4 gigs in it and pull the hard drives from the original server and put them in the other server. It is now reading 2GB. This is certainly better than 256meg, but doesn't explain why the O/S doesn't see all the memory... regardless of whether it can use it. Thanks, Ken
MYSTERY SOLVED!!!! Hi all, Been a while since I'd worked on this, but I decided to rebuild the original server that was brought back from the data center (the one reporting the 256megs) and figured out what was causing it. Someone flipped the "OS Install Mode" to "ON" in the BIOS. This limited the memory to 256megs. What a PITA! Anyway, toggling that off and rebooting caused the OS to see all the memory. Hope this helps someone else. Cheers! Ken

Marxism functionalism and feminism theories on crime
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
For this sociology essay I shall be researching and comparing three social perspective theories on crime, Marxism, Functionalism, and Feminism. I will be attempting to write how the three theories compare and conflict with each other.
Marxist perspective on crime
Karl Heinrich Marx was born the 5th of May 1818 Trier Germany to a comfortable middle class family. A historian, social scientist, revolutionary and philosopher, Karl Marx, was and still is considered the most important socialist thinker that emerged from the 19th century. Karl Marx during his lifetime was for the most part ignored by scholars. But since his death in 1883, Marx's political, social and economic ideas quickly gained acceptance in the socialist movement.
Although Karl Marx never wrote at length about crime, he did argue the laws made by the ruling class were mostly put in place to keep the working class under control. Karl Marx had the idea that most people were not even aware they were being exploited. Marxism recognises for a society to function properly, social order is necessary. They state that in all societies apart from communist societies the ruling class always gains far more than any other class.
Haralambos & Holborn (2004) in discussing Marxist perspectives on deviance states that: the ruling class passes laws that benefits ruling-class interests. Therefore making sure the power stays in ruling class hands so they have a constant control over lower classes. (P353).
Marxists have the idea that Capitalist societies emphasise individual gain and the need to win at all costs. They feel greed explains crimes for financial gain. Marxists think the frustrations felt by dehumanising the lower classes can explain the crimes against the individual persons. They think crime in part is the creation of unequal power and inequality, and that it is a natural response to living in poverty. They feel crime is often the result of the ruling class offering the lower classes of society, demeaning work that gives little or no sense of creativity.
Although Marxists agree that crime is widespread within all social classes they argue deprived criminals are given harsher sentences than wealthy criminals. Marxists are more likely to emphasise corporate and white collar crime, they note that crimes by the upper classes cost more, and have a greater economic toll on society than lower class crimes. Marxists believe laws are approved to benefit the desires of the ruling class, they say people have unequal access to the law. Powerful people with money can hire a good lawyer this can change the odds of being found guilty or not guilty. Therefore for a Marxist, punishment for a crime could depend and vary with the social status of the criminal.
A man named William Chambliss was concerned in the fact of why certain things are made illegal and others are not, he also wondered who decided what issues are made law, and why the unequal distribution of wealth wasn't illegal, William Chambliss also thought the ruling class controlled this power, and it was the ruling class who prevented certain issues from ever being discussed.
Dutchman Willem Adriaan Bonger 1876-1940: The 1st Marxist Criminologist wrote that all individuals in capitalist societies are infected by egoism because they are alienated from authentic social relationships with their fellow human beings, and all are thus prone to crime. He thought the root cause of crime was the capitalist mode of production and poverty was the major cause of crime, but the effects of poverty can be traced to the family structure and on parental inability to properly supervise their children. Willem Bonger supported the view that the roots of crime lay in the exploitative and alienating conditions of capitalism. The social sentiments that concerned him were altruism (an active concern for the well being of others) and egoism (a concern only for one's own selfish interests). Willem Adriaan Bonger took his own life in 1940 rather than summiting to the Nazis. Willem Bonger (1969) Criminality and Economic Conditions.
In general Marxists believe the law is created by the ruling class, and only acts that grow out of working class life are defined as criminal. They state everyone breaks the law, but biased law enforcement means it is mainly the working class who get caught. "Marxism is the only theory that examines the crimes of the powerful".
Haralambos & Holborn (2004): Marxists have been criticized in the past for thinking that a Communist system maybe the answer to eradicating crime, when in fact Switzerland, a capitalist society has a very low rate of crime. Feminists argue Marxists ignore the role of patriarchy whilst putting far too much emphasis on class inequality. (p355).
Functionalism perspective on crime
Haralambos & Holborn (2004): Functionalists believe that deviance and crime starts with society as a whole. Functionalism looks into society for the source of crime and deviance rather than looking to the individual itself. Functionalism is frequently thought of as the exact opposite to Marxism. Functionalists give emphasis to the positive way crime can affect a social system. Functionalism stems from Emile Durkheim. He believed that crime was to be expected in all societies. (p253).
Emile Durkheim was born on April the 15th, 1858 at Epinal, Vosges, in Lorraine, France. Durkheim is considered by most the father of sociology. He is credited for making sociology a science. During Durkheim's lifetime he published a number of sociological studies on subjects like suicide, religion and other aspects of society as well as giving a number of lectures. Emile Durkheim (2002).
Haralambos & Holborn (2004): All Functionalists have the opinion that control mechanisms like courts and police are a necessity to keep crime and deviance in control and protect social order. However many functionalists argue a certain amount of deviance can have positive functions in society, they feel crime can even provide maintenance and the well being of a society. In Emile Durkheim's book "The Rules of Sociological Method" (1938) crime is argued to be inevitable, and a normal part of social life. Emile Durkheim had the notion that crime was present throughout all types of society. He also felt the crime rate would be higher in more highly developed industrialized countries. Durkheim believed that if there was a perfect society of saints, occupied by perfect individuals, a society where no murder or robbery occurred, deviance would still be present because behaviour standards would be set that high the smallest slip would be considered a serious offence. Durkheim felt society would stagnate without deviance. (253).
A man named Robert Merton produced a detailed functionalist theory to explain criminal behaviour. Merton stated that all societies set goals to attain, Merton believed that if there was a sensible chance you could reach these goals then society would function, but he felt that if these goals were unobtainable then a situation of anomie occurs (anything goes). Robert Merton stated that there are five anomic responses where individuals cannot achieve Societies goals.
1, Conformity: where individuals struggle for success through accepted channels.
2, Innovation: people will accept society has goals but will reject the socially accepted means, for example organized crime.
3, Ritualism: where people accept the socially approved way, but no longer believe they can achieve success, for example people who stick to the rules no matter what.
4, Retreatism: people who have lost sight of societies goals for example drug users.
5, Rebellion: people who have adopted new goals, and different ways to achieve them, for example revolutionaries, cults. Sociology in Focus: Paul Taylor (1997)
In general Functionalist's believe crime can play a positive role in society, they feel societies need to produce crime to set the limits of behaviour to show society what will, and won't be tolerated. Functionalist's state the working class are more criminal because they have fewer bonds with social institutions and therefore have less to lose. They think of society as a living organism with each function like institutions, organizations, and other mechanisms working together. J.Tattersall: (2010).
Functionalist theory has been criticized for ignoring the crimes of the higher social classes, for seeing crime and deviance as a product of society and social background (deterministic), and for ignoring the fact that many young people often choose to be deviant and they often grow out of this behaviour.
"Functionalism is the only theory that sees crime as having a positive function".
Feminist perspective on crime
Feminist criminology thinks that crime must be viewed from all perspectives in order to understand and obtain the most complete picture of crime. Feminists see society as male-dominated (patriarchal). Feminists see men benefiting at the women's expense. Feminists also argue that most social institutions, including the state and its policies, help to maintain women's subordinate position and the unequal gender division of labour in the family.
According to the Feminist school of criminology, major theories in crime have been developed by male subjects, and they focus on male victimization. They feel that facts about crime tend to be focused on the gender of the criminal and not the crime itself. "Feminism is the only theory that examines gender differences when explaining crime".
Professor Frances Heidenson (1989) criticises the male dominance of sociology she feels that most academics are male, and therefore criminology reflects male views and interests, she also stated that that most traditional theorists are gender blind, and therefore fail to explain how their theories can be applied to females. J. Tattersall (2010)
Haralambos and Holborn (2004): Otto Pollack (1950) claimed to have recognized certain crimes are usually committed by woman, he thought nearly all shoplifting and criminal abortions were carried out by woman, he also argued that many unreported crimes were committed by female servants. He noted many police, magistrates, and other law officials tended to be men. This could therefore make them chivalrous and lenient towards female offender's, he thought because of this woman appear in statistics less. Pollack also stated that females are particularly good at hiding their crimes because of their genetic makeup. He stated that woman learn to mislead men during sex and can use this to fake interest and sexual pleasure. (pp. 382-383).
Haralambos and Holborn (2004): Pollack has been brutally criticized for some of these statements, Steven Jones (2001) points out that Pollack gives no real support that servants commit many crimes against employers, or that woman are better at hiding crimes then men. Heidensohn points out that Pollack has an unsubstantiated stereo typical image of woman and he is unwilling to point male crime to a biological predisposition to aggression and violence. (p384).
Heidensohn believed that there was double standards in the justice system and that the justice system was loaded against women and not for them, she thought that the justice system is more likely to punish women when they deviate from the norms of female sexuality. It has been suggested that women are being sentenced in terms of being mothers, wives, and daughters rather than examining the seriousness of their crime. It seems that lighter sentences are given to females who meet the traditional roles, whilst women who don't fit these roles are given stronger punishments. J Tattersall (2010): (p5).
Feminists can be criticised for being ideological and prejudiced, by focussing on patriarchy they ignore the fact that men are also used for domestic labour. They fail to notice women are becoming increasingly independent, and focus on gender ignoring other important social factors such as class and race.
Conclusion- All three theories are structural theories they look at groups in societies rather than the individual. Marxism and Feminism are both conflict theories they see some groups as being less equal than others, functionalist theory is the only theory that see's crime in a positive nature.

We have a total of 1300 square ft. of grass, run Peetee run.
We can't go on the grass for about 2 weeks, after that I plan on spending a lot of time right in the middle of that patch!
These next three shots are the sides of the house.
I am very pleased with myself and the yard, I even had time to do my nails, and finish a necklace:)


text:
The title is pretty self-explanatory. What do you personally believe is a good life? Does it involve being with a certain someone, having a certain job, or just living in the place of your dreams? Any details really, I'm just curious!
Hmm... for me the question implies some of Descartes "dualism" i.e that there is some sort of "bad life".I remember a conversation between Hitch and Fry where they talked about tree-frogs not waking up thinking "Was i a good tree-frog yesterday?". So for me its just part the human condition as other animals don't appear to ask this question about their lives they just get on with it.And whose to say what's good or bad?
I don't look for a "good" life. I don't look for "happiness". I get involved in projects that I think are important. Frankly, I stay rather depressed seeing man's inhumanity to man and animal. I am physically active, do a lot of e-politics and am an animal-activist.
Life is full of its little pains and pleasures but if I can do these things on a regular bases my life is good:
Sleep a solid 6 hours strait, Wake up to morning sex, pinch off a clean turd, go on a long run, relax in the sauna, have a Fallbrook Omelet(Bacon, Cheese, and Avocado), fix something broken, or reengineer something flawed, have an intellectually stimulating conversation with family and or friends, read a great book, go on a bike run, listen to some great music, and get a little intoxicated.
I'm a HUGE Modest Mouse fan, what song is that from?
For me i think a good life is a fulfilling life, which differs from person to person. I think it is important to have day to day indulgences as well as regular activities that produce long term satisfaction. My work as a therapist brings me long term satisfaction in that i know that i help people. For short term indulgences, i read an hour everyday, cook my own meals (i am a huge foodie), fishing, home-brewing, sex, 7-8 hours sleep a night, and having an active project going (right now i am building a chicken coop).
Goodness without gods
To find western concepts of a good life totally untainted by xian thought, you have to go back to ancient Rome and Greece -- once custom (social mores) no longer function, questions arise about what sort of life can an individual live. Stoics, epicureans, cynics, skeptics -- are labels useful for doing searches.
Among moderns, who cannot escape being formed by a xian culture in decay, Nietzsche belongs to us more than ever. Following both the ancient epicureans and Nietzsche is the French philosopher and historian Michel Onfray. His Atheist Manifesto (2006) will repay reading. Unfortunately, his 'counter-history of philosophy' is not available in English. If you read French or Italian then do take a look at the four volumes available thus far.
• Here's an idea of the basic views of Epicurus about how to achieve a good life:
Over 2,300 years ago Epicurus (340-270 BCE) devised a philosophy of nature based on atomism and a philosophy of life (an ethic) based on a rational pleasure principle.
Xianity has hated Epicurus ever since Paul (fl 50-60 CE) was laughed at when he tried to "convert" Stoic and Epicurean philosophers to his new god (Acts17:18 NIV). Whatever xians hate deserves a closer look as something likely to be good.
...live like a god among ordinary people. - Epicurus
Epicurus' philosophy drawn from his atomism and hedonism are distilled into four statements. Tetrapharmakos = 4-fold cure for anxiety: what's the best life to lead?; what about gods, suffering, death?
Don`t fear god,
Don`t worry about death;
What is good is easy to get, and
What is terrible is easy to endure. -- Philodemus (100 BCE)
Epicurus' own advice to a follower:
Think about these things...yourself, and with a companion like yourself, and you will never be disturbed while awake or asleep. But you will live like a god among ordinary people. For those who live among immortal blessings are not like mortal beings.
the anti-supernaturalist
In my opinion, a "good" life is one that is endlessly creative. Without creativity, it seems to me that life is meaningless. That's why I'm sitting her commenting. I'm creating exposition regarding my opinion, and doing so in the most efficacious prose I can compose. It's a small thing, but it is creative and satisfying.
Having fun.

Help finding ammonia
I've been looking all over, and no one has the right combo.
I've found 100% ammonia, but with surfactants. and I've found 10% ammonia with nothing else on the label showing ingredients. It said janitorial strength on it.
Does anyone have a clue as to where I can get some 100% pure, with out all the crap in it ammonia. I don't think you can order it online, because its a marked item as far as bomb making goes.
I just got a 75gal tank, and I'd like to cycle it the right way.
0do you have an ACE hardware in your area? They have the stuff.
It's ACE brand janitorial strength ammonia.30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails

0I would not worry too much about the concentration of the ammonia in the bottle. I have a bottle of ammonia which is only 10 or 15% ammonia without any additional addatives and it has worked fine for cycling a few tanks already.
A lot of members here get there ammonia from Ace Hardware as fishmommie has already recommendedIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

0Dilluted but pure is fine, and 10% solution makes for easily calculating.
Funny this, over here every supermarket and most DIY stores sell it. I think I pay 69 cents a liter. I understand it's also difficult to come by in the UK. I think next time I'm over there I'm going to bring a case or two and flog it to aquarists.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
0It's readily available in the states but can prove near impossible to find elsewhere. I ended up buying mine off amazon for $8.00. Overpriced yeah, but I cycled my tank without any problems and worries.
0The one that had janitorial strength on the label is the one you want. You will not find actual 100% ammonia available to the general public because it is lethal unless diluted. The bottle that said 100% just meant it didn't have fragrance or soaps, etc.. in it, but it was diluted with water. If you don't have an Ace Hardware near you, look for a cleaning supply company that sells to businesses, they will have the ammonia you need and often sell to individuals.
When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

0I went last night and picked up the 10%, and started a cycle on my 10gal tank.
See how this works out....

Ball Python World started as a Hamilton Family based project having some fun and learning about reptiles, Nita Hamilton's love for Ball Pythons captured the whole families interest and we started to all pitch in and help, each doing their part adopting pets as their own, and working to care and nurture the animals. After a time we began breeding and reselling animals to friends and fellow breeders. As time progressed we began building a reputation among fellow breeders, and with the public. We have since became a Canadian Name in Ball Python Breeding, each year growing, in reputation and size of our projects. We have even begun to expand and adopt Ball Python Apprentices, to share or knowledge and the business of Ball Python Breeding. Our latest Partner Sean Fuller is joining us in coming years as a branch of Ball Python World, thereby increasing our projects, and our animal availability again.
We love the ball pythons we work with and enjoy the great variety of morphs, personality, and general temperament of these wonderful animals and hope to share this with many people for years to come!

The Demand for Money in Cote d'Ivoire: Evidence from the Cointegration Test
This paper demonstrates that there is a long run equilibrium relationship between money supply 〖(M〗_1) and its main determinants, real income (GDP) and interest rate in Cote d'Ivoire. In order to investigate long-term relationship among these variables, we use Juselius and Johansen cointegration test with time series data covering the period of 1980-2007. The results show that there is long-term relationship among these variables as well as the linkage between them. Base from this result we found that only real money balances 〖(M〗_1) has significant long -run economic impact of variations in monetary policy in Cote d'Ivoire. However, the study also revealed that the effect of aggregate 〖(M〗_2) is not so stable linking with it determinants.

FEATURED Custom Homes
Custom homes give the homeowner total control over the quality and function of his new residence. These custom homes are unique; they are designed especially for the piece of land on which you want to build. Those desiring a custom home frequently purchase a piece of custom land on which they plan to build, and then they employ an architect or a professional home designer to design a home that is customized to meet personal specifications. Because of their originality, custom housing require you to make many choices, and large amounts of time will be spent exploring products and visiting stores that sell these products.
The custom home builder may use plans developed by an architect or by a professional home designer. Custom property affords customers the opportunity to regulate layout, lot size, and accessibility.
In most cases, custom home builders build on land the custom home buyer already owns. Some developers sell fully serviced lots particularly for the construction of custom homes. This makes it easy to construct custom condos since the lots are construction-ready and builders can concentrate purely on the design of the homes.
Choosing a new custom property is one of the biggest and most personal decisions any individual or family can make. And for some, a custom home is the solution to their dream. Inexperienced buyers may shy away from constructing custom townhomes due to the hassles and costs of such an undertaking. Today, however, there are options of custom housing for sale that skirt some of the drawbacks of managing the build oneself.
Building custom condos gives you the independence to build the home you want, where you want, on the land you want.
More buyers are adopting custom housing opportunities for a variety of reasons. People want out of crowded city areas. At the same time, they want a home with character and options for designing exactly what they want.
Fortunately, choices for building a custom home exist today that give buyers the best of both worlds: the flexibility, independence and options of a custom townhome in a setting that works more like buying a home in a master-planned community.
Through a custom builder, purchasers can choose from a wide selection of floor plans to develop a signature home matching their wants, needs and dreams.
Individuals considering custom real estate should select the appropriate contractor. Key factors to contemplate are the builder's reputation, the services the builder provides, their ability to educate and offer support and their ability to deliver the buyer's vision.
The benefits of building custom condos include less traffic, more privacy, and more room for freedom and flexibility.
Opting for a custom home is really about lifestyle. Constructing on larger parcels gives homeowners the option to make modifications to their home to fit their needs in the future.
Custom home property owners were able to include space to accommodate elderly parents and others managed to do truly special additions.
Personalization also allows custom housing owners to more affordably pursue other elements such as options for solar power and private wells.

Rihanna, Chris Brown In Twitter War Over Alleged Infidelities
Comes after months of engagement rumors.
And the toxic cycle continues: the world's most exhausting on-again, off-again couple, Rihanna and Chris Brown, are waging a Twitter war of words over alleged infidelities, after both were spotted partying with exes in the past week. On Thursday, Rihanna uploaded an Instragram that read: "If I drop all of my hoes for you and we still don't work out you owe me some hoes." Brown responded on Friday by tweeting "She's not mine if she's everybody elses." The spat comes after months of engagement rumors, sparked by the (former?) couple's appearance at the Grammy's, where the 25-year-old songstresses sported bling on her ring finger.

Poonam welcomes PM with Bikni
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has joined popular microblogging site Twitter late Monday with an intention to inform people about the work done by his office.
"The Prime Minister's Office is now on Twitter @PMOIndia. Thank you for your support," Manmohan Singh's newly-appointed communications advisor Pankaj Pachauri said on his own Twitter account.
The bare-all-girl Poonam Pandey, who is always looking for opportunities to grab eyeballs, is making the most of PM's twitter debut. Poonam posted her new bikini pic on the twitter welcoming the Prime Minister. The picture was followed by a tweet that said,"#iHeard @PMOIndia is on Twitter, does he Knows that @iPoonampandey is on Twitter too …so a Welcoming Pic."
PMO sources confirmed that Manmohan Singh would send out tweets personally in future. The sources close to the PMO have opined that the work done by his office was not being "reflected properly". So, the Twitter account will help in sending out the proper information to the people.

Add a child. Add some chores. Add some rewards. Give your child a thumbs up or thumbs down for their behavior. Bank your child's rewards and redeem them for activities/rewards of your choosing.
Reward My Chore Android app is a free app that provides you with the tools to teach your children the value of good behavior.
RMC allows you to add as many children as you want, manage chores/activities that children should be completing, and manage the rewards that each child can cash in.
RMC uses a very simple "thumbs up" "thumbs down" system. Each day your child has tasks that they must complete (homework, daily chore, brush teeth, be nice to siblings, whatever activity you define). As your child exhibits positive results they begin to accumulate points that can be banked into their rewards account and spent on any number of user-defined activities such as watching tv, date with mom/dad, skip a day of chores, or cash. There is no limit to the behaviors you may want to monitor and no limit to the types of rewards you would like to provide for your childrens' positive behavior

Update on State Statutes and Administrative Complaint Data on Employment Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
GAO-13-700R: Jul 31, 2013
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Twenty-two states currently have statutes that explicitly prohibit sexual orientation-based employment discrimination. Included in this group are eighteen states which, in addition, explicitly prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of gender identity, five more than when we previously reported on this issue in 2009. GAO surveyed these states to verify information about state statutes and to collect data on the total number of administrative employment discrimination complaints filed, as well as the number of complaints that identified sexual orientation or gender identity as one of the claimed bases for employment discrimination, and reported this data for the years 2007 through 2012. These data showed that there were relatively few employment discrimination complaints based on sexual orientation and gender identity filed in these states during this time period.

Inspired by Temple's collection in last year's Filmi Secret Santas, I put together a little Manmohan Desai-specific treat for my giftee, Raja Sen. Click on the picture to go to a zoomable pdf on google docs, and be sure to read from the bottom up.
Or, for those who want to get new lyrics lodged in their head right away (and please sing it Muppet style):
Twelve fun disguises,
Eleven baddies scheming,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight helpful critters,
Seven pairs of fab boots,
Six modes of transport,
Fiiiiiiiiive Kapoooooooooors,
Four sad Nirupas,
Three long-lost brothers,
Two healed eyeballs,
and Aaaaaamitabh in a booootttle!
Wishing you everything merry and bright, my Bolly loves!

Difference between revisions of "Toronto/Deer Park"
Latest revision as of 21:05, 15 October 2011Deer Park is in Toronto. The boundaries of this neighbourhood are roughly defined as: the CP railway tracks in the south, the Belt Line trail in the north, Avenue Road and Oriole Parkway in the west and the Rosedale Ravine in the east. The neighbourhood in centred around the intersection of Yonge Street and St Clair Avenue, both of which have a variety of large office buildings and restaurants. Get in[edit]The St Clair Station on the Yonge subway line serves the centre of the neighbourhood. The 512 Streetcar runs along St Clair Avenue from St Clair station to Weston Road. It operates in its own right-of-way with a raised curb between the streetcar tracks and regular traffic and a limited number of stops compared to regular services. As a result, the 512 Streetcar is an excellent way to see St Clair Avenue. See[edit][add listing]

What a D.C. Vote in Congress Means for the Electoral College
Legislation to give the District of Columbia a voting representative in the U.S. House cleared a procedural hurdle in the Senate today, bringing D....
Legislation to give the District of Columbia a voting representative in the U.S. House cleared a procedural hurdle in the Senate today, bringing D.C. voting rights closer to reality. This occurred even though critics of the bill said that it would violate the U.S. Constitution.
Since the constitutional criticism didn't work, the foes of this legislation should turn to a different argument: It would make presidential elections a little bit less fun.
The compromise in the D.C. House Voting Rights Act is that the District gets a seat in the House and Utah (which narrowly missed a 4th seat in the 2002 reapportionment) gets a seat too. That means the House will have 437 members, instead of 435. The District will elect a Democrat. Utah will probably vote for a Republican.
After 2012, when reapportionment happens again, the District keeps its vote. Utah loses its special privilege (although it probably will get a fourth House seat based on population growth), but the House stays at 437 members.
That's important for presidential elections because the Constitution says that each state gets the same number of electoral votes as it has seats in Congress (in both the House and the Senate). So, you'd think that two more members of Congress would mean two more electoral votes, increasing the Electoral College from 538 members to 540.
However, the 23th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which granted the District voting rights in presidential elections, stipulates that the District only gets as many electoral votes as the state with the fewest. Even if this legislation is enacted (and upheld by the courts), Washington, D.C. will still only have three electoral votes.
As a result, the Electoral College will only increase by one vote, not two. That means that the Electoral College's members would add up to 539, which, tragically, is an odd number. When you have an odd number of voters, it's always tricky to end up with a tie vote. Unless a third-party candidate took some electoral votes, one candidate would have a majority.
Now, some people might say that's a good thing. In fact, some people have. Here's what FairVote had to say:
By virtually eliminating the chance of a future Electoral College tie, however, the DC VRA meets a clear public interest value, given the potential instability coming with such a controversial U.S. House vote and the highly questionable process of each state casting one vote regardless of population.
Ok, so a tie in the Electoral College might result in political instability, as the country waits not knowing who will be president. I'll concede that it might even be a "nightmare scenario." On the other hand, it would sure be exciting.

Q: The phrase "Lock and Load!" means what to you?
Meaning, if you were to hear the phrase "lock and load" called out to you, what do you think it is you're supposed to do?
(Don't look it up on the internet or elsewhere.)
I realize there are some prior discussions, some time ago. But it's interesting how many different definitions seem to exist, when asked off the cuff like this. There are certainly many discussions posted here and there, depending where you look.

For years, Nature's Sunshine has helped share wellness and transform lives around the world through both their business and philanthropic efforts. As a founding sponsor, Nature's Sunshine has aided Sunshine Heroes in the renovation of baby hospitals in Russia, the construction of schools in Mali, Africa, the distribution of health supplements throughout Ghana and the building of children's centers around the globe. Though our partnership, Nature's Sunshine and the Sunshine Heroes Foundation have impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands of children in 19 different countries.
A Sunshine Children's Center is a meeting place for communities in rural areas all around the world. Within a Sunshine Children's center, children will become educated, improve their health, and most importantly have a safe haven to learn and grow. To date we have completed seven Sunshine Children's Centers throughout the world.
Often, we take for granted being able to receive healthcare when we need it. In many countries, children and their parents have to walk for several hours to receive health care. Within our health clinics children will receive healthcare that will allow them to live a happy, healthy life.
The majority of our daily requirement of vitamins and minerals comes from the food we eat, which is why our centers often include kitchens. In these kitchens, kids will learn the importance of a balanced diet and proper nutrition to fuel their growing bodies.
Our Sunshine Centers often include a library because we believe that education opens the door for opportunities. Within our libraries, kids will become more educated and have a greater chance of achieving their goals.
In addition, we distribute Sunshine Heroes vitamins to the children in each of the communities we are serving.
Thanks to Nature's Sunshine Corporate, all of our administration costs are covered, which means 100% of every cent of every dollar YOU donate is used to improve the lives children around the world.
We verify every project by physically sending one or more Sunshine Heroes team members to the site of our projects. We take pictures and video, and usually get our hands dirty helping complete construction.
We have some amazing people who love and support Sunshine Heroes. These ambassadors are athletes, influencers, and Nature's Sunshine Distributors, and employees. We are so thankful for their support.
