How to Prepare Quaker Oatmeal
Rich in nutrients such as fiber and protein, oatmeal is a healthy and tasty way to start your day. One of the most recognizable and widely available brands is Quaker Oats, which produces both a quick oats version and an old-fashioned one. As quick oats only save a few minutes of time and lack the flavor and texture of regular oatmeal, stick with the old-fashioned version, also known as rolled oats.

Fragmented VI
Handcut Collage & Photography on Fabriano Paper 300gr
42cm x 48cm | 2016
By taking the visual experiences and awareness when visiting a new place, this series of collages represents an interpretation of memory 'flashes' - fragmented and seemingly separate moments that create a fusion between harmony and discomfort. Using contemporary imagery from magazines as well as my own photography, the focus is on aspects of architectural detail (shape, colour and form), with no human presence, allowing space for the viewer to 'enter' and interpret their own scenario.
Fragmented VI represents areas of Lisbon, Portugal, and is created from original reprinted photography.

Ani contributes 10 million to displace the tuin
Kathmandu, Nepal
July 19 2018
Kathmandu, Nepal: Singer of most popular song "Phoolko Aankhama Phoolai Sansara……" Ani Choying Drolma has contributed Rs 10 million to displace the tuin, rope bridges from the country.
Ani, who is also the renowned Buddhist nun, handed over the amount to the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli at a program entitled "Prime Minister with the People" launched by the Nepal Television on Wednesday night.
Prime Minister Oli had announced to displace all the rope bridges by suspension bridges during his first term as the Prime Minister on October 11, 2015. But, no tangible progress is made yet though Prime Minister Oli had made commitment to accomplish the task within a year.
During the function Ani not only announced the amount to handover the government but also extended her best wishes to the government to live up the commitments made before the people.
While accepting the amount, Prime Minister Oli announced to contribute his one month's salary while program presenter Manoj Pandey also announced to contribute Rs 50,000 to the fund established to displace the tuin from the country.

Encircled by pristine forest, the tiny suburb of Kanonkop is a short distance from Knysna town centre along the Garden Route in South Africa. Kanonkop is reached via a single road off the main highway and the area is a mix of both farmland and upmarket residential properties.
Kanonkop experiences a moderate climate, the highest rainfall period being late spring, and this section of the Indian Ocean coastline is warm enough to swim throughout the year.
The Garden Route is considered one of South Africa's premier tourist destinations and Kanonkop is at the centre of this utopian part of the country blessed with a richness of warm seas, sandy beaches, virgin forests, rivers and lakes. The area's residents understand the importance of tourism and make an extra effort to ensure a stay in Kanonkop will surpass your expectations.
Top 5 reasons to visit Kanonkop
1. Water activities surround Kanonkop; swim at Brenton on Sea beach, hire a canoe to travel along the Knysna River and into the estuary, book a seat on a catamaran for a sunset cruise, fish for white mussel-cracker (catch and release) or venture out into the sea for deep sea fishing.
2. Visit the Knysna Elephant Park to walk with – or ride on – the gentle African elephants in the park. The park offers personalised safaris that include a quality meal.
3. Spend a day in Knysna to enjoy the town's retail shopping, architecture and museums. The waterfront is popular too for the first-rate restaurants and cafés overlooking the water.
4. Hike the 20km Elephant Walk Trail through the dense Knysna forest passing ancient gigantic trees, vast birdlife and a chance to see the many elusive forest mammals. The trail has three loop routes for those unwilling to hike the entire trail. A permit is required to enter the forest.
5. Travel to Noetzie to enjoy the secluded beach and view the castles overlooking the small bay. While in the area, visit the nearby Brackenhill Falls that tumble down into a forested gorge.
The nearest airport is George Airport, located 70km from Kanonkop. Several car rental agencies are based in Knysna and at George airport to hire a vehicle, or you could order a rental online. There are a number of metered taxi companies in Knysna. Shuttle service operators transport visitors between George Airport and Kanonkop.
Did you know?
In the Knysna estuary, approximately 90% of the water mass is replaced with each incoming tide. Over 300 marine creatures thrive here, particularly filter feeders such as the oyster, barnacle and mussel.
Building of the Noetzie castles began in the 1930s when a property owner was constructing his stone house and a neighbour jokingly suggested that a few turrets be added for it to become a castle. The suggestion was duly carried out and others followed suit by building their holiday homes into small castles.
Many of the fish species found in the Knysna Estuary are on the red (endangered) list, including the white mussel-cracker, cob, garrick and white steenbras. If caught, please return them to the water.

Just because of the flexibility of WordPress, you can leverage it to start any kind of online platforms and websites. For instance, you can run the photo galleries, personal blogs, product listing sites and many more. This time, we'd like to tell you that this script is also a great tool for starting your workout diary for tracking your daily life and working.
It is true that you now can make use of some third-party devices and applications to handle the daily tracking. With these tools such as Lifesum and Fitbit, you can have the easy tracking of how many pounds you have lost monthly. However, if you are looking for the real and personalized platform to record and track these things, you can check the following contents to learn how to create your workout diary with WordPress.
Finish the Basic Preparations
To start the workout diary, you firstly should set up a WordPress site and host it using the truly trustworthy WordPress hosting provider. Here, we need to mention that if you do not want some others to track your daily life, you'd better make this workout diary site a private one. Or, you can just install WordPress locally.
In addition, you need to plan this diary. For instance, if you want to track your lifestyle to figure out whether it is a healthy one, you can consider the below planning. Here, we'd like to split the contents of this site into three main categories – workout, sleep and diet.
- Workout – This part includes some sub-categories. They are the workout type, distance, duration and calories.
- Diet – This part includes the aspects of breakfast, lunch and dinner mainly. Also, you can choose to categorize this part into the points of fat, calories, protein and cholesterol.
- Sleep – As for this point, you only need to pay attention to the starting time and the ending time.
Make Use of the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin
Actually, in order to run a workout diary using WordPress, the easiest method is to utilize the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. This plugin is the perfect solution for you to add much more flexible data to your site. Actually, the feature of custom fields is native to the script of WordPress. However, this tool ensures the more advanced and user-friendly customer field interface than the default one.
As for how to use this tool to transfer your common WordPress site into a workout diary, you can follow these simple steps.
Step 1 – Create the Field Groups
Here, the field groups are the main content categories of your workout diary. Again, we use our previously mentioned group examples, which include workout, sleep and diet.
For this, you need to click the Custom Fields button, and then, hit the Add New option. In the next screen, you should enter the title of the field group.
Step 2 – Add the Fields In Detail
After that, you should create the detailed fields. For instance, if this group is for the workout, the detailed fields need to include the workout type, duration, distance and calories. Here, you need to click the Add Field button.
Now, you should enter a long list of required information for your newly added field.
- Field label – This is the name for this field that can be displayed on the editing page. With it, you can enter the correct value into the right field.
- Field name – This part saves the data at your WordPress database. You can make it the same as the field label. Note that it must be the single word without any spaces, dashes and underscores allowed.
- Field type – This part decides which kind of values can be entered into this field. By default, this plugin allows 6 main types, and you should choose the right one. For instance, if this field is for workout type, you should choose the type of Text or Select. If this field is for the distance or calories, you should choose the Number type.
- Required – If you want to be forced to enter all the required values before showing the contents, you can tick the Yes checkbox.
- Choices & Default values – If you choose the Select field type, you are required to enter all the listed choices for selection, along with the default value.
After entering all the required parts, you can click the Close Field button to have the information of this field saved. Note that you can repeat this step to create all your needed fields just like the following example.
Here, you need to know that you have the freedom to drag and to drop these added fields to achieve the reorder purpose.
Step 3 – Decide the Location Rules
In this step, you should create and decide a set of rules that determine where and when to add these custom fields into the editing screen or the post object. In the common occasion, you can show this field group when the post type is equal to Post and Page. If you want, you can also add some other rules for the aspects of post categories, page types, page templates and many more.
Note that all the location rules can be grouped altogether using the "and" and "or" statements.
Step 4 – Set Up the Additional Options
In fact, for each of your created field groups, there are some minor options available to help you customize the editing screen where the custom fields will display.
For instance, if you decide to showcase different field groups on a single page, you should set the order number to determine which of them can be showcased in the first place. Note that the value for the first one should be the number of 0.
In addition, it is possible that the page that you are looking to display the field groups have some textual contents in advance. If so, you should choose the display position among the options of sidebar, after the contents and after the post title.
Even, you can choose the style of these custom fields between the options of standard one that has the WordPress metabox and the seamless one that does not allow the default metabox.
Now, as all the settings for this new field group are added and determined properly, you can click the Publish button already.
It is possible that you want to edit different kinds of activities for your workout diary. If so, you can repeat these steps to create as many field groups as you want.
Step 5 – Showcase the Contents of Your Workout Diary
Now, you can start posting the contents for your workout diary. Again, we use the example of the daily workout or the weekly exercise.
For this, you simply need to edit a new page or a new post. If you want, you can enter some textual contents for this diary in the editing screen. After that, you can check a list of custom fields for your workout values, which are showcased under your post editor. Now, you should enter the exact values based on your real situations.
It's done. Now, you just need to publish the content and check the front-end result. Note that you can use this method to record anything and any activity of your daily life. This way, you can have a better understanding of yourself via your workout diary online.

Curated by Jay Belioli, former director of the gallery programs at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, the theme of the 2015 Hanna S. Barsam Photography Invitational is "urban California." Mr. Belioli has selected eleven photographers from Southern California, Central California, and the San Francisco Bay Area to take part in this exhibition. Each selected photographer explores the urban experience and the human reaction to the man-made environment as captured through a lens. Just as Mr. Barsam was known for his innovative and often avant-garde approach to photography, this invitational showcases photographers that push the envelope with regards to technique and subject matter.
The photographers in the exhibition: Jim Curnyn (Fresno); Janet Delaney, (San Francisco); J. Bennett Fitts (Pasadena); Christina Fernandez (L.A.); Robbert Flick (Claremont); Anthony Hernandez (L.A.); Michael Light (San Francisco); Doug McCulloh (Riverside); Doug Rickard (near Sacramento); Connie Samaras (L.A.); Mark Swope (Santa Monica).

May 5, 2014
With the success of Clash of Clans over the last year, it's no surprise that other companies have decided to get into the mobile freemium strategy genre. Battle Islands is just another one of those games that takes a popular concept, and attempts to put its own twist on it all.
The game is set in the World War II era of 1942. Players are required to build up units of soldiers in order to attack, and take over, various islands in the South Pacific. The theme is a fresh take on the genre, but the gameplay is just all too familiar. And unfortunately, the team at 505 Games fail at delivering anything more than a briefly entertaining re-skin of what Clash of Clans is.
The game throws you right into a nice tutorial session upon launch that shows you the basics of how to place and build buildings, train soldiers and make sure you have enough equipment necessary to defend against attacks later on in your game. After the tutorial, players can complete a variety of challenges to earn the gold bricks.
The gold bricks are the essential currency of this game that can either be earned or purchased. Purchasing the bricks allow the game to progress much faster whereas earning them becomes a long, tedious process over time. Players do start out with a few gold bricks, but they quickly run out, leaving you empty handed when you need them the most.
Then comes the waiting. More often than not, your time playing this game will be more of waiting for troops to train and buildings to finish constructing than it is actually fighting. The game's slow progression takes away from the briefly fun aspect of fighting with opposing players.
The World War II theme keeps the game somewhat fresh at the beginning, but that charm only lasts so long before you realize you are playing the same type of game you are used to. And it's not like the game does anything truly terrible, it's just the same package in a new wrapper.
At the end of the day, it all depends on how much you love the genre that will determine your enjoyment. If you don't mind the repetitive place buildings, train troops, attack enemies and block off attacks gameplay, then Battle Islands may be the game for you. If you are tired of the new dog, old tricks gameplay, then your best bet is to move on to something else.

Singer John Legend's model fiancee Chrissy Teigen has warned a photographer who took suggestive photos of her early on in her career never to publish the images - because he will find himself slapped with a hefty lawsuit.
The leggy beauty admits she was a naive young girl when she started out in the fashion industry and was lured to attend a dodgy casting call in the unnamed snapper's hotel suite.
She explains, "I was 18 years old and went to meet a photographer. I guess I should've known when he said to meet him at his hotel room. That should've been a warning sign. At 18, Chrissy was like 'OK!'"
She only realized that wasn't the norm a year later and Teigen is adamant there would be trouble if anyone suggested such a stunt now: "I'd call some dudes and there'd be a problem."
But the model is confident the inappropriately sexy pictures will never see the light of day - because she will be ready and waiting to take legal action.
She tells the New York Daily News, "That'd be a nice lawsuit. If they come out, it is on! I dare you, mystery man."

Son of a Butcher Could Land $115 mln Severence
It comes as no surprise that Mozilo seemed pretty upbeat about Bank of America's $4 billion dollar acquisition of Countrywide.
It comes as no surprise that Mozilo seemed pretty upbeat about Bank of America's (BAC) $4 billion dollar acquisition of Countrywide. Mozilo said that "we believe this is the right decision for our shareholders, customers and employees." Indeed, it seems that it's also the right decision for Mozilo. Should he decide to step down, the son of a butcher is now entitled to $115 million in severance-related pay. Not to mention free rides on the company jet. Oh, and his country club bills will be paid for until 2011.
So while the past year has been one of the darkest for Countrywide's shareholders and customers, times really couldn't be sunnier for Mozilo. And that's exactly what Hoofy and Boo would like to talk to you about, Angelo...

Learning the Energy Healing Arts
Since 2006 ÉCOLE SAN ESPRIT has been able to offer the teaching and practice of energy healing methods, legalized in Germany since 2004. Energy Healing has the potential to have a preventative effect, complement conventional medicine, and even progress where traditional treatment may fall short.
Everyone has inner healing powers and subconsciously carries these potential skills. They only need the proper teaching to be realized and developed. The teaching includes various energy initiations and instruction on healing techniques of different origins.
By the end of this education the healers will have found their own unique way of healing, independent of any one school or technique.
Along with the training and experience offered at ÉCOLE SAN ESPRIT, a change of awareness occurs. Having experienced the miracles that can be achieved through amazinGRACE®, the healers will undergo an expansion of consciousness. They will gain the understanding that the illness itself is what led to this realization, leaving them with the knowledge that ailments are constructive to their learning, and not something entirely terrible.
The final objective is to enable the healers to cure even the most severe illnesses in their clients by making use of the healer's new connection to the highest powers of healing.

The Commission further determines that it would not have found material injury but for the suspension of liquidation.
The Commission instituted this investigation effective November 13, 2003, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by Gleason Industrial Products, Inc., Los Angeles, CA. The final phase of the investigation was scheduled by the Commission following notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of hand trucks and certain parts thereof from China were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigation and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of June 8, 2004 (69 FR 32042).

By RODNEY HO/ firstname.lastname@example.com, originally filed February 9, 2011
Rush Limbaugh, for the fifth year in the row, topped the annual Talkers magazine's "Heavy Hundred" talk show host rankings.
He has drawn the biggest audiences of any radio talk show host in history, estimated to be more than 15 million listeners a week, far greater than any individual cable news show. He is the strongest performer in Atlanta on 640/WGST-AM, though his ratings slipped as 2010 went along.
And he's still very much loved and hated, depending on your point of view. (Haters will love an upcoming new book called "The Most Dangerous Man in America: Rush Limbaugh's Assault on Reason.")
Five Georgia-based talk-show hosts made the cut: Neal Boortz, Clark Howard, Allen Hunt, Martha Zoller and new Atlanta-based syndicated host Rusty Humphries. Syndicated sports duo The 2 Live Stews on 790/the Zone and Atlanta-based talk host Mike Malloy were included in a secondary list of 150 other notable shows.
Despite huge audiences, syndicated morning hosts Tom Joyner (Kiss 104.1) and Steve Harvey (Majic) weren't included, though Bob & Tom were. (Rickey Smiley, on Hot, is on the secondary 150 list.) Syndicated talkers Rev. Al Sharpton and Gayle King on WAOK-AM get no love either.
The rankings are not scientific or based on any poll. Rather, it's the magazine's editors who decide how the top 100 works, based in no particular order: courage, effort, impact, longevity, potential, ratings, recognition, revenue, service, talent and uniqueness. The magazine said it's as much "art as science and that the results are arguable."
Here's the rest of the top 10, followed by hosts I know of that are heard in Atlanta though many have live net streams.
- Sean Hannity (heard on AM750 and now 95.5 FM News/Talk WSB) holds again at No.2 behind Limbaugh, with fellow Fox News talker Glenn Beck at No. 3. Michael Savage, who just moved from WSB to WGST from 9 p.m. to midnight, remains at No. 4. Laura Ingraham, heard on 1160/WCFO-AM from 10 to 2 p.m., moves up from No. 5.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger, lost her No. 5 spot since she gave up her syndicated show heard on hundreds of stations nationwide in favor of Sirius/XM. She tumbles to No. 20.
Her departure also helps consumer talker Dave Ramsey, who recently moved from afternoons on WGST to nights on WSB, move from No. 7 to No.6.
Mark Levin, heard locally from 6 to 9 p.m. on WGST, moves up to No. 7 from 8. Thom Hartmann, a progressive talk show host, jumps from 10 to 8. He is not heard locally except on a tiny station in Decatur called Green 1640 AM which only reaches Decatur.
Ed Schultz, another liberal talk show host, moves into the top 10, landing at No.9 from 11. He is not on locally on AM/FM but is available on Sirius/XM.
Another new entry is another progressive talker Joe Madison, heard on Sirius XM but not on AM/FM in metro Atlanta. He is at No. 10, up from 12.
Neal Boortz, heard on WSB from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., has been in the top 10 in the past. He almost made it back this year, at No. 11. His rankings since 2007: 9, 10, 14, 13, 11.
Howard Stern, once No. 1 in the rankings before he went to Sirius, moves up to 12 from 32. There's no particular reason why Talkers moved him up so much, but Sirius/XM does now have a subscription phone app, making his show mobile.
At 13 is conservative talker Mike Gallagher, heard on 920/WGKA-AM, reversed a downward trend (8 in 2007, 9 in 2008, 15 in 2009, 19 in 2010).
Jerry Doyle, heard on 1160/WCFO-AM, ranks at No. 16, up from 17. Lou Dobbs, also on WCFO, falls out of the top 10, tumbling to No. 17 from 9.
Bill Handel, heard on weekends on WSB, holds at 18. Mancow, on WCFO, falls again to 19, from14 last year and 9 the year before. Michael Medved, on WGKA, slips to 24 from23. For the fifth year in a row, Bill Bennett (mornings on WGKA) is at No. 25.
Don Imus, mornings on WCFO, slips again to 26 from 21, 20 and 7 the past three years respectively.
Atlanta's own consumer guru Clark Howard has been holding in the same vicinity, falling to 29 this year after four years of bouncing from 27 in 2007, 30 in 2008, 27 in 2009 and 28 in 2010. His HLN show has not given the rankers a reason to move him up.
Dennis Miller, on WCFO, is at No. 33, up from34. Rusty Humphries, who does a national show as well as a new local one on WGST from 3 to 6 p.m., ranks at No. 35, up from 38.
Atlanta talk show host Allen Hunt, heard on weekends on WSB but expanding nationally during the week, holds at No. 37 after debuting on the chart in 2009 at No. 41.
Kim Komando, on weekends on WSB, holds at No. 39. Dennis Prager, on WGKA, holds at 40. Randi Rhodes, about to debut on WCFO, is at No. 41. Hugh Hewitt, on WGKA, is at 66, up from 67.
"Fresh Air" host Terry Gross, heard locally on WABE-FM, is at No. 76, down from 70.
Martha Zoller, on WXKT in the Athens and a regular on cable news shows, holds at No. 89.
Former WSB host Chris Krok, now in Dallas, is at No. 94.
So far, talkers.com has not posted this new list yet. The 2010 list is here.

WELCOME to another NFL season of having complete nonsense disseminated with complete conviction.
Perhaps the one thing that stat-afflicted football broadcasters don't and will never understand is that there are no "averages" worth citing. When 22 men interact at once under wildly varying circumstances and conditions, there is no average play; "average" only can create a misleading impression or butcher reality.
For example, in the third quarter of Thursday's Skins-Giants game, NBC posted a bunch of stats, including those attached to Brandon Jacobs – 14 carries, 93 yards, 6.6 yards per carry. Al Michaels was impressed with the last one. "Jacobs is averaging a stellar 6.6," he said.
But hadn't he watched the game? Jacobs, at that point, had runs of 25, 17 and 16 yards; 58 of his 93 yards came on three of those 14 carries, meaning he had a total of 35 yards on his other nine carries. There was no "average" worth mentioning.
Jacobs finished with 116 yards on 21 carries, an average of 5.5 per carry. This week some paid football expert (or 10) surely will take these stats, note that Jacobs averaged 5.5 yards per then firmly state that if the Giants hand the ball to Jacobs 20 or more times they'll win. It's that simple.
Patient: "Doc, you gotta help me. One second I have a temperature of 103, the next second it's 93!"
Doctor: "What are you worried about? That's an average of 98."
CBS's Gary Danielson and Phil Simms remain among the very few TV analysts who ignore or debunk – as opposed to parrot – misleading or irrelevant stats. Both rely on their eyes to tell them the story, not a stat sheet.
On QB passing ratings, the kind TV presents as telling (despite the fact Marc Bulger and Trent Green are listed as top 10 career passers, 100 places ahead of Joe Namath and Terry Bradshaw), Danielson, the ex-Lions' and Browns' QB, says, "When I'm asked how good a quarterback is, I say, 'Just watch 'em play, you'll know.' "
Danielson, by the way, is ranked 65th, ahead of 10 Hall of Famers.
There was a frightening incident before Aug. 26's Mets-Phils game. A child, about 10-12 years old, fell head-first from the lower right field deck after reaching for a ball hit in batting practice. Naturally, the kid landed hard. Stunned, he rose, then, clearly in pain, he leaned and nearly collapsed against Mike Pelfrey who had been shagging flies.
The child, though bruised, eventually was OK.
Video of the episode appeared on the Web site of ESPN's Philadelphia radio station. It appeared under the heading "950 ESPN Fun Stuff."
Speaking of sports radio and the desensitization process . . .
Though NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has called upon both players and fans to observe new codes of conduct to restore some civility to the "NFL Experience," Wednesday he went on WFAN with Craig Carton, professional social vandal.
Of course, Carton was on his best behavior, very respectful. Carton, the first-class phony, even congratulated Goodell for attempting to curb anti-social behavior among players.
Thursday night's Yanks-Rays 81/2-inning game ran 3 hours, 20 minutes, which is the kind of game that Michael Kay for years condemned for having been too slowly played, as "unmanageable." But suddenly Kay not only endorses such games, he claims that those who can't devote 3:30 to a game have something wrong with them.
Gordon Damer has left ESPN 1050 to provide sports reports for WCBS-AM. . . . WFAN's Ed Randall, prostate cancer survivor and co-founder of Bat For The Cure, last week led a drive before the Jays-Rays game for free PSA testing. More than 400 men were tested.
CBS, today, has Jim Nantz and Simms on Jets-Dolphins. Also at 1 p.m., Fox has Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston and on-field intruder Tony Siragusa on Rams-Eagles. At 4:15 Joe Buck and Troy Aikman work Fox's Browns-Cowboys.
Thus far, SNY, Rutgers Football's new channel, has done a good job avoiding talk of the hidden-from-taxpayers payments and perks to head coach Greg Schiano, not to mention other ugly revelations about RU's football finances that made very big news in New Jersey newspapers.
John McCain's acceptance speech, Thursday night – "I don't work for a party. I don't work for a special interest. I don't work for myself" – sounded as if it had been lifted from that Giuseppe Franco commercial.

Scarlet Heart's Cecilia Liu and Nicky Wu reveal when they really fell in love with each other
Fans of the historical romance Scarlet Heart have long thought Cecilia Liu and Nicky Wu fell in love during filming. Their dazzling chemistry kept viewers glued to the screen, and they gave fans a real-life happy ending when they confirmed their true romance. However, the stars recently revealed that they fell in love after the drama ended. Are fans wrong in noticing the undeniable chemistry between them? How and when did true love ignite between Nicky and Cecilia then?
When Nicky Wu accepted the role of Prince #4 in the now legendary Scarlet Heart in 2011. He did not know that the spectacular romance drama would lead to a new summit in his acting career and that he would meet the love of his life, actress Cecilia Liu (Liu Shishi). After announcing their romance in 2013, the two lovebirds registered their marriage in January 2015, and held their fabulous wedding in Bali in March 2016.
A surprise revelation was made by the couple during an interview right before their wedding.
According to Cecilia, they were both deeply immersed in their characters and the tangled love story, but they were sensible enough to tell themselves that they needed time to think it over. Nicky added, "We rarely contacted each other for about 2 years after the drama. When you get too involved with your character and the story, sometimes you don't realize if you are attractive to someone for real or because of the drama. So I preferred to keep our distance, to really understand the feelings."
That is definitely sense winning over sensibilities from the two glittering stars.
Nicky was being particularly cautious because of his own experience. He was married once before, to Chinese actress Ma Yashu, from 2006 to 2009, after a long relationship. The split reportedly came about because of Ma's affairs. Ma remarried soon after the divorce, and Nicky has never publicly said anything negative about his ex-wife. At the time of the divorce, Nicky said it was time to let go and that he needed to find his own life.
The wait was worth it, because Nicky and Cecilia started dating eventually, and confirmed their romance in November 2013 with photo posted to Weibo from Nicky, saying, "We really cherish our hard-won feelings."

What is the secret to their happy relationship?
They both agreed that it's to respect each other's work and whatever they have agreed to. If one person is busy with work, the other person will not interfere or interrupt. They give each other space and flexibility.
On a casual note, it turns out that Nicky is the one who cooks. He used to eat simple things, even instant ramen. But, Cecilia loves whatever Nicky cooks, so he has taken charge of the kitchen. Cecilia said that Nicky really is a great cook. No matter how late she has to work, she would come home to join NIcky to eat together.
The charming couple sound like they've been married forever. Beyond the tumultuous love affairs on the screen, a lasting true love is actually about how the two will adjust and tolerate each other in forging a new life together. Ultimately, a peaceful life is probably the best happy ending to a dramatic romance.
May you live happily ever after, Cecilia and Nicky!

Before health coaching...
After way too many years analyzing myself in the mirror, looking for my value through the number on the scale, and relying on people, objects or circumstance to make me feel whole, my body said "enough", something had to change. Chronic illness, infections and prescription drugs were part of daily life. Food allergies began to appear.
After sheer exhaustion, several rounds of antibiotics and steroids yet still no resolve, the nurse practitioner convinced me to have allergy testing done. I did choose to test for allergies, but also took the diagnosis into my own hands and started researching what the root cause of all this was. I learned the low-fat, calorie counting, protein obsessing, over exercising, perfectionism lifestyle I lived, slowly took it's toll. All of this, plus lack of self-care, was icing on my sugar-addiction cake. A conversation can change everything.
While it's true, my husband, children, family and friends would benefit if I wasn't all-consumed by illness and fear, I was the one who needed to choose different; for me. My lifestyle had to change so my body would heal.
Slowly habits and priorities started to rearrange, because change=results and balance=health. Little by little, over the course of a few years, I committed to add-in more real and life-giving food, time for self-care, and different expectations for daily life. Blown away by the power of nature and this one intricately designed body, I found a message that had to be shared. My allergies cleared up, immune system restored and I lost the need to weigh myself with a new passion for food which was powerful, pleasurable and fun!
With a BA in Physical Education and English from Hope College, teaching and volunteering experience as well as a certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I have mastered what it takes to educate and connect with people. However, it's because of my unique gift and passion as a woman who has learned from life experience, that I am able to help others find true health and lasting wellness for themselves.

Arguably the most importance facet of the growth of social media and increasing personalisation of the web has been the resultant growth of the online audience.
Thanks to the increasing sophistication of both technology and user interfaces, it is significantly changing the nature of how audiences react online, not just in the younger generation, but also older users.
For those born before internet and mobile communication, the increasing simplicity of communicating (through mobile, blogs, social networks etc.) has meant increasing expertise and expectation from the 35+ users.
This sort of familiarisation is vitally important because there are many people out there who either think computers and the internet are too complicated for them to use or simply can't see why they are of any interest.
Traditionally the industry has looked at the older generation as 'silver surfers'. While important, interest has been eclipsed by the young, the iLifers, for whom interactive media is ubiquitous.
Yet the increasing sophistication of today's platforms allows for a level playing field across the ages. Understanding programming and platforms is no longer necessary – it may be faster for a small child to learn to engage with the Penguin Club than it is for a 60 year old to get comfortable on Facebook, but the reality is that the same drivers are in place.
Children joining a new school judge their success by the number of friend requests they get, while grandparents can now see video of grandchildren on the other side of the world, or get connected to interest groups from shared hobbies to lobbying.
These changes mean that instead of a universally tech sophisticated audience with similar online demographics, the last decade has seen a transformation of the audience to one using the same tools, just with different levels of sophistication and differing needs.
The last few years have seen another significant change take place, especially within e-commerce: the only important thing for the consumer is the end goal. And that brings a series of challenges: the more seamless the service, the higher the expectation from the user.
This can be fulfilled to a degree by personalisation of service, but the real key lies in understanding that facilitating user goals is the best way to support transactions. And the needs and wants of varying age groups still differ, even when their use of services is made easy.
We live in a society that is ageing, and disposable income is likely to be higher in those above the age of 40. It's certainly true that older users have a higher propensity to transact.
The latest report from the British Population Survey earlier in 2011 found that there are three people aged 55 or older shopping online for every two aged under 25. That means talking to older consumers in their language is critical.
The survey found that access to the internet grew faster in 2010, with 2.75m new users, than in 2009. Over-65s are the fastest growing group of new internet users and now account for one in 10 British users.
In all, eight out of 10 Britons now use the internet, while five out of 10 shop online and four out of 10 use online banking. One of the most interesting findings was that the younger generation is predominantly using the internet for entertainment and communication, while it's the older generation who are using it for practical and economic reasons.
The most important aspect of brand marketing may well be the emotional connection made with the consumer but the key to a transaction is to provide the consumer with a seamless, effective, efficient means of achieving those goals.
Familiarisation is the first step to bringing the older generation online, but to a great extent the needs of that consumer are subsumed beneath the expectations of iLifers.
Easing the passage of a transaction, with targeted information ensuring that the consumer is guided through the site is important, as is ensuring that they can be retargeted if, for any reason, they lose their way.
While the young may be changing the face of mobile and online communications, we ignore the older generation at our peril.
Comments (1)
While I agree that ease of use and personalisation are important with regard to transactions that take place online, I would argue that e-marketers must look beyond simply the transactions, to improve the overall customer experience.
For e-commerce to be successful, how you communicate with customers before and after a transaction - (for example, sending a receipt for the right amount/product, keeping track of refunds etc) is just as important as their experience on the site.
Knowing the context around each customer's interaction with a company enables service providers to personalise their customer communications and that's what I believe results in a positive experience for the customer and can lead to improved loyalty.
We actually did our own research into this, which showed 61% of consumers agreed that their perception of their provider would be likely to improve if it showed a personal touch in its correspondence. 31% also agreed they would recommend a service provider if they were treated as an individual.

The GroupMembershipTracker.bat script uses two tricks that you'll want to add to your scripting toolbelt. The For command is a powerful tool to use in shell scripting, but it has a limitation: It can't parse files that have spaces in their path. My first trick is a way to work around that limitation.
Just for review, the For /f command is useful in many ways, but it has three primary uses in my scripts. First, I use it to parse a string and break it into tokens or pieces (then to reverse them, so you can see how the tokens can be manipulated):
For /f "tokens=1,2" %%i in ("Hello Fred") Do Echo %%j %%i
Second, I use it to run the Dir command and break the command's output into tokens. In the Echo command that follows, I use only the first token (%%i). Note that when you run a command inside a For loop, you must encapsulate it within single quotes.
For /f "tokens=1,2,3,4" %%i in ('Dir /b C:\windows') Do Echo %%i
Third, I use it to parse a file line by line and break each line into tokens:
For /f "tokens=1,2,3,4" %%i in (C:\spreadsheet.txt) Do Echo %%i
A limitation of using For to parse files is that spaces in the file path (e.g., C:\My Files\spreadsheet A.txt) will cause For to fail. The technique of enclosing the file path in double quotes doesn't work because it causes For to interpret the filename as a string. You've probably lived with this limitation by avoiding spaces in your paths. I've recently discovered a couple of workarounds.
Using the Findstr or Sort command in your script reinstates the ability to use double quotes to handle path spaces—without causing a For failure. I've used this technique in the GroupMembershipTracker.bat script. In some circumstances, the Sort command can change output. For example, if you're working on a list of numbers or dates, Sort might change the order in undesirable ways. The Findstr command doesn't reorder the output. This sample command shows how to use Sort to overcome the problem with spaces in the path:
For /f "tokens=1,2,3,4" %%i in ('Sort ^< "C:\My Files\spreadsheet A.txt"') Do Echo %%i
And this sample command shows how to use Findstr to overcome the problem:
For /f "tokens=1,2,3,4" %%i in ('Findstr /I "\[A-Z0-9\]" "C:\My Files\spreadsheet A.txt"') Do Echo %%i
If you use Windows XP or Windows 2000, you can use the new usebackq option with the For command to conquer the space problem in filenames. Although spaces typically aren't a problem when you use the For command to parse literal strings and command output, let's look at how to use the usebackq option in these instances as well. When you use the usebackq option, you must enclose the string that has spaces in either single quotes (if the string is a literal string); grave accents, or back ticks (if the string is a command); or double quotes (if the string is a filename).
Literal strings. If the literal string you want to parse has spaces, you can include the usebackq option in your command and enclose the string in single quotes ('). For example, here's how to use the usebackq option when you want to break the string Hello Fred into tokens:
For /f "usebackq tokens= 1,2" %%i in ('Hello Fred') Do @Echo %%j %%i
Because this usage of the usebackq option causes some trailing error output, I don't recommend this technique. I'm discussing this usage only because the For command's online Help file covers it. To cleanly break up literal strings, you should not use the usebackq option; instead, use double quotes.
Command output. If the command you want to execute has spaces, you can include the usebackq option and enclose the command in back ticks. For example, here's how to use the usebackq option when you want to parse the output of the Dir command:
For /f "usebackq tokens= 1" %%i in (`Dir /b C:\windows`) Do @Echo %%i
Using the usebackq option with back ticks is the equivalent of enclosing the command in single quotes without the usebackq option.
Filenames. If the filename you want to use has spaces, you can include the usebackq option and enclose the filename in double quotes. For example, here's how to use the usebackq option when you want to parse a file and break each line into tokens:
For /f "usebackq" %%i in ("C:\:My Files\spreadsheet A.txt") Do @Echo %%i
My second trick provides a way for a script to automatically locate the folder in which it resides. Typically, I put each of my scripts in a separate folder, along with any input files, output files, and utilities that the script uses. At the top of each script, I indicate where these various files reside. Alternatively, you can use a Call command to determine the script's directory path, as Web Listing A shows.
After you include such Call code in your script, you can point to all the files the script depends on or creates, without needing to hard-code those files into the script. If you change the script's path location to a different folder, the script will detect the change and alter the path it uses for the input and output files. This approach is particularly useful when Task Scheduler will be launching the script.

One of the greatest domaines in Chablis founded by William Fevre in 1957 and its vineyard holdings include 12 hectares of premier cru and 16 hectares of grand Cru vines. The domaines fruit is harvested by hand, a rarity in Chablis, and rigorously sorted at the winery to ensure the highest quality. In recent times the amount of new oak used has been cut back and today the average age of the barrels in the cellar is five years. From the Petit Chablis to the domaines six Grand Cru wines, the quality is superb and the range from Domaine William Fevre is a benchmark for the wines of the region.
From two parcels of vines that total 2.55 ha, or 22% of the entire appellation. This is arguably the most elegant wine in the range with its ultra-pure aromas of quinine, oyster shell, mineral reduction and floral elements. There is a caressing, even seductive mouth feel to the beautifully well-delineated and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess an almost delicate quality before culminating in an almost startlingly explosive finish that just goes on and on. This bone dry effort is an exercise in harmony and grace, or otherwise expressed, a classic Preuses. Don't Miss! Rating: (93-96)/2022+ Allen Meadows; Burghound

Verizon LG Revolution Review
According to Verizon's site, and we quote, the LG Revolution "is a major wow-machine. Superior speed is found when the 1GHz Snapdragon Processor and LG's 4G LTE modem are combined with Verizon's 4G LTE Network. This power-trio makes it possible to download movies and games in seconds, shoot HD videos and share them instantly, seamlessly multitask and browse the web. Honestly, after one day with this device, you'll see mobile technology in a whole new way." A pretty bold statement, if you don't mind us saying so. Does the phone live up to the hype? Read on for the full review!
In the box is nothing out of the ordinary. Just the device, a microUSB cable, a wall charger for the same cable, and a 16GB microSD card.
Powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 768MB of RAM (this is difficult to confirm), 16GB of built-in memory (plus another included 16GB microSD), and a 1500mAh battery, the Verizon LG Revolution certainly seems, at least on the surface, to be an outstanding device.
Also included are the standard complement of accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc, which one would expect from a device such as this.
In hand, the LG Revolution is heavy, sharp-edged, and generally uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. In fact, as the video mentions, the edges are so sharp it is difficult to hold this phone up to your ear for more than a few minutes at a time.
The build seemed fairly solid when we first started using the device, but multiple lock-ups requiring a battery pull began to cause the back cover to squeak and pop.
Not mentioned in the video is the Qi port hiding under two covers: the back and another rubber bung. Unfortunately, while the capability exists, Verizon doesn't seem to offer the necessary back with the device by default, nor do they seem to sell the accessory online.
While the touch menu buttons at the bottom of the device are plenty bright, the 4.3″ TFT screen is a terrible disappointment, especially compared to other offerings on the market.
Also on the front of the device is a multi-colored LED (hooray), and a 1.3MP front-facing camera.
The back of the device features a 5MP camera (see more about this later in the review), LED flash, rear microphone, and speaker.
The back cover is soft-touch plastic, so you won't feel like the device is going to accidentally fall out of your hands. But as mentioned above, repeated replacement of this cover has caused squeaking and popping, especially near the volume buttons.
Underneath the battery cover is the 1500mAh battery, the 4G LTE SIM, and the 16GB Class 4 microSD card. If you look closely on the left side of the device, near the LG logo on the battery, you can see the rubber cover for the Qi port.
Moving to the top of the device, we see the tiny power button and headphone jack. When I plugged a wired phone headset into the LG Revolution, I did get complaints from callers about not being able to hear me very clearly. Audio coming from the same jack was clear with respect to alarms, notifications, and music, but you could hear crackles and pops during calls.
On the right side of the device are the chrome volume keys, both of which were responsive and without problem. Also on this side is the dedicated HDMI port – unfortunately hidden behind a door you have to pick loose with your fingernail.
To the opposite left side is another door hiding the micro USB slot. In our opinion, it's simply a matter of time before these doors are damaged or tweaked enough to require removal (if they don't pop out on their own). While the aesthetic is nice, it would probably have been better to leave the charging port exposed.
Oh Verizon and LG, what have you wrought? Rather than rant about Bing, the bloatware, the interface lockups, and the missing standard applications, let us provide this story as an example of the entire software experience.
While in California recently I was using the Revolution to navigate, specifically with the Verizon Navigator app. Normally, I would stick with Google Navigation, but since it wasn't included by default, it was only fair to give Verizon's application a chance.
The drive out caused no problems. I was able to create detours around traffic areas, and generally thought, "Perhaps this isn't too bad!". Woe to me for trusting things to be so simple, for when I went to make my return trip, the app would pop up an error, and then close. No amount of rebooting, cache deleting, or force stopping would make it work, either. Thankfully, I had already loaded Google Maps on the device, and was able to find my way back to the hotel without further incident. The software never loaded again until I returned back home, at which point I was able to connect.
Just one example which perfectly demonstrates the frustration the software presented. Even setting aside the fact that the phone was released with Froyo versus Gingerbread, the software configuration, on the whole, was disappointing.
The camera, however, was a slight bright spot in an otherwise bleak world. At least with regard to the still images. Colors were bright and accurate, and even without a dedicated camera key, it was easy to take photos. Corner detail was a little fuzzy, and the focus routine was a bit slow, but still, the pictures were actually decent.
The audio quality of the video was actually quite good, since it is bolstered by a rear facing microphone. The 720p video recording suffered from inaccurate white balance issues, tearing in fast moving, high detail areas (note the grass in the background near the end of the sample). Perfectly serviceable for uploading cute videos of your kids or cats to Facebook, but not high quality content by any means.
Sadly, with all the bloat and extras, the LG Revolution, while looking somewhat good in the numbers game, doesn't perform very well at all. The screen is often unresponsive, even to the point of locking up where the battery had to be removed a few times. Then, without reason, the device would hum along with seemingly no issues at all. The most noticeable performance issue was revealed consistently with the Netflix app. Sound would play smoothly and without interruption, but the video as far from smooth. This compared to another device playing the same movie at the exact same time and demonstring no issues.
Quadrant: 1707
Smartbench 2011: Productivity 1196, 1241 Games
LinPack: 37.678 MFLOP, 2.22 Seconds
Call quality was fair across the board. For the most part the calls were clear, but recently, the conversation would be filled with cracks and pops. It is interesting to note that the LG Revolution also gives off a bit of interference from its charging port which you can pick up through your speakers if data is being passed — likely due to the GSM-based LTE modem. The speakerphone is loud, but with complaints about not being heard, it was back to Bluetooth for 99% of the calls.
Data speeds, especially LTE (averaging 10,000+ kbps down / 2200 kbps up), were fantastic, when you could find it. Thankfully, Verizon is pushing these rollouts at a furious pace. In the meantime, make sure to check your area before paying a premium for LTE. 3G speeds averaged 800-900kbps up and down – on par with Sprint in the same area.
Battery life on the Verizon LG Revolution is sub-par as well. Fully charged it could barely make it through the night, let alone muster 3 hours of phone calls during the day. If you don't let the device do anything at all out of the box, the "Android System" (this can be read as bloatware) occupies 84% of the battery use. Using the GPS and the navigation software burned through so much juice my car charger couldn't keep up, finally turning off mid-way through my aforementioned return trip.
Charging the LG Revolution also seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
A perk of the device would be its Qi wireless charging technology, where this battery muncher could be fed a constant stream of electrons. But alas, the cover does not seem to be available from Verizon online at this time.
The LG Revolution can be purchased, with a two-year contract, for $250 from Verizon.
+ Large screen
+ LTE speeds (if available in your area)
+ 32GB of included memory
– TFT display
– LTE speeds (if not available in your area)
– Poor battery life
– No way to remove bloatware
– Unresponsive device at times
– Bing
When you get down to it, the Verizon LG Revolution is an average device with a premium device price tag. Perhaps if the price was $100 with a 2-year contract, then one might be willing to look past the flaws and inadequacies of the the Revolution. But even then, you would be forced to accept Bing and a lot of extra Verizon bloatware which would further dilute the experience. Our recommendation? Don't expect this device to change the way you look at mobile technology — if it does, the future will seem pretty grim.
We rate the LG Revolution a 2.5/5.
Note: at the time of finalizing this review, Amazon was selling the LG Revolution on a new two-year contract for $.01. At that price, this device would rank a solid 3-3.5. Still an average device, but much more appealing (especially if the community is able to come up with a better custom ROM).

- What are we doing?
Right now we're keeping it close to Richmond to write and record the next album. It's been fun playing with more less-organic sounds* and allowing that to become incorporated. Sometimes you can hear when a band has gotten all new gear and their sound changes drastically from one album to the next, though that's not the case for us. We're just getting more comfortable experimenting with knobs without feeling techno-tied.
More Prophet sounds and less thump-thump.
After last year, it feels great to be in one place for a bit to have time to focus on creating instead of van-riding. Van-riding is great too, but we're excited to have a new product!
*(semi non sequitur: Riding on metro in New York last week I was sitting next to a guy who listened to that "Gasolina" song on repeat. It's a catchy song, but on repeat? He looked very hip & boho, like he should have had some Arvo Pärt streaming through that iPod).
Everybody, Gasolina!
- Post Holidays, Yo!
The Holidays are over and a bit of writing's been done between the cinnamon tea and cookies! I finally got my record player fixed and buzzed down to some Moody Blues, Stereolab, Mikis Theodorakis & some sort of Hebrew children's vinyl I picked up at Stereo Jack's in Cambridge, Mass.
Aside from writing in the woods in Virginia, trying to find the shoe my dog's always moved and enjoying some downtime, there's a new OvD website in the making!
It's a bit of an upgrade from this one, sturdy as it has been. So~ keep your eyes peeled!
2013 = shiney!
Here's a link to "Last Year" recorded with members of OvD & Richmond's Marionette:

Aside from a Cirque du soleil stage show (true story) and a theme park that's not opened yet... no fandom, no conventions, no comics, no convention panels, no spin-off games. There's just, no yearning for it is there? -
Then again, any anime with WALTER FRICKIN' WHITE in the dub has to be worth a look, right?

Authentic community is an essential aspect of the "Heart to Heart" spirituality inspired by John Henry Newman. We all look for true love and long-lasting friendship. Far from being a mere club or group of people with common interests, the Newman Community strives to be an example, a shining light on Penn's campus, of the true communion and inter-personal unity which has its foundation not in us, but in God himself.
It is in community that our love finds its unique and proper expression.
"Thus community becomes "Schola Amoris," a School of Love, for young people and for adults -- a school in which all learn to love God, to love the brothers and sisters with whom they live, and to love humanity, which is in great need of God's mercy and of fraternal solidarity." **
If you are looking for opportunities to meet young men and women who form part of this community, we have a number of activities for you to attend!
Newman Dinners
Newman Dinners are held each Thursday night at 6pm in the lower level of Newman. A $5 all you can eat meal fills the house.
Newman Nights
Several times throughout the semester, immediately following Newman Dinner, we have a variety of faith-based discussions upstairs, ranging from Lord of the Rings, Dating/Relationships, Mental Health, and more.
After Mass Socials
After every Sunday Mass at St. Agatha - St. James, we have delicious coffee and doughnuts in the Newman Center!
And more...
We dine together, study together, pray together, celebrate together, and are in this together. We loft our couches for our Souper-bowl Party Blow Out, we're open 24-7 during Finals Week, we throw BBQ Picnics, water balloon fights, indoor laser tag, paintball outings, and beach days. Join our Listserv for updates on all special activities.

Diving Preview
At the last FINA World Championships in Kazan 2015, China won 10 out of 13 gold medals in diving, reaching a record achieved at the 2011 FINA World Championships.
China did set a new record for most total medals in diving at one FINA World Championships in 2015 (15, G10-S3-B2), surpassing their own tally of 14 from 2007, 2009 and 2011.
In total China has won a record 75 gold medals in diving in the FINA World Championships History, while the U.S. are next with 13. China's total medal count of 143 (G75-S45-B23) are 102 more than the next most decorated countries (USA and Russia both 41).
China won 29 of the 33 diving gold medals available at the last three FINA World Championships. Both Shi Tingmao (CHN) and Qiu Bo (CHN) have won at least one gold medal at each of the last three FINA World Championships. The only divers who have won a gold medal at four consecutive world championships are Chen Ruolin (CHN, 5 in a row), Qin Kai (CHN, 5), Wu Minxia (CHN, 5), Guo Jingjing (CHN, 5) and Dmitriy Sautin (RUS, 4).
Qiu Bo could become the first ever diver to win the men's 10m platform event four times in a row.
Qiu and Greg Louganis (USA, 1978-1982-1986) are the only divers who won it three times in a row.
Shi Tingmao and He Zi (CHN) have each won four gold medals in women's diving events at the FINA World Championships. Only Guo Jingjing (10), Wu Minxia (8) and Chen Ruolin (6) have won more.
The only non-Chinese gold medal winners in diving events at the World Championships in 2015 were Kim Kuk Hyang (PRK, women's 10m platform), Tania Cagnotto (ITA, women's 1m springboard) and Thomas Daley (GBR)/Rebecca Gallantree (GBR) in the mixed team event.
For DPR Korea it was its first world title in diving, while Great Britain and Italy claimed their second and third World title respectively.
The U.S. have won the second-most World titles in diving events (13), but they have won only one gold medal in the last 25 years when Laura Wilkinson (USA) won the women's 10m platform in Montreal in 2005.
Host Hungary has never claimed a medal in diving at the FINA World Championships. In 2015 the best result for Hungary was a 13th place for Villo Kormos (HUN) and Zsofia Reisinger (HUN) in the women's 10m platform synchro.

Pro-Feminist men's website needs submissions
Catherine Redfern // 17 September 2009
Long standing pro-feminist, anti-sexist men's website www.xyonline.net has recently been relaunched and is seeking volunteers and submissions.
XY is a pro-feminist website. It is guided above all by a commitment to feminism. XY is intended to advance feminist goals of gender equality and gender justice. XY is intended therefore to encourage men to involve themselves in personal and social change towards gender equality. It inspires men to develop respectful, trusting, and egalitarian relations with women, to promote equitable and liberatory ways of living and being, and to join with women in projects of gender equality and social justice.
I've been aware of this site for a long time and it has some great stuff on there. For example, with five minutes of browsing I found this great zine by pro-feminist Paul Brown called Don't Be a Dick! on issues such as rape culture, consent, and pornography.
Off you go, feminist/pro-feminist guys!
Comments From You
Amy Clare // Posted 20 September 2009 at 4:56 pm
Thanks for the heads up about this site…
One thing though: can anyone tell me why these men are not described (and do not describe themselves) as 'feminist' but as 'pro-feminist'? Is that not suggesting that feminism is a movement purely for females? If feminism is essentially the belief that the genders should be treated equally, then why can men who ascribe to this belief not describe themselves simply as 'feminists'… ?
It's not a trick question, I genuinely want to know!
Catherine Redfern // Posted 20 September 2009 at 7:07 pm
Hi Amy Clare
No problem!
Basically whilst quite a lot of female feminists do think that men can also be feminists, others think that only women can be feminists because they argue that only women can understand what it is to be oppressed as a woman and also feminism must be led by women. So, generally, out of respect for female feminists, pro-feminist men tend to call themselves pro- rather than simply feminist.
If you look at their website they explain why they use pro-feminist and I've copied that bit below so you can see what they say.
• Why do you call yourselves "pro-feminist" and not just "feminist"?
Feminism is a movement and a body of ideas developed primarily by, for and about women. Men can never fully know what it is like to be a woman. If we call ourselves "feminists", we run the risk of colonising feminism or looking like we're saying we've got all the answers.
Some feminist women argue that men CAN call themselves feminists, as long as they live up to the same standards as women who are feminists — to support the equality of women and men. Nevertheless, most pro-feminist men use the label "pro-feminist" rather than "feminist". We believe that there is plenty men can and should do to support feminism, and we don't need to call ourselves "feminists" to do it.
CMK // Posted 20 September 2009 at 10:47 pm
It is a rather interesting that so many feminists think men cannot be feminists whilst arguing equality in every/many other regards.
Perhaps it comes from most people have very different ideas as to what feminism means to them. Personally I think it is a missed opportunity not to fully engage men as feminist issues are to my mind as much about men as they are about women.
Catherine Redfern // Posted 21 September 2009 at 10:21 am
"Perhaps it comes from most people have very different ideas as to what feminism means to them."
I think this is true but I don't think they are *very* different ideas, just different priorities within feminism, and both are understandable. Many feminists think feminism is a movement for and about women (which may have benefits for men too, but that isn't it's primary focus). Others think that it is a movement about ending sexism generally, albeit stemming from women's oppression. That's basically where the difference lies in this approach.
Personally I tend towards thinking that men can be feminists as I feel it is a matter of what you believe and whether you act to support equality, rather than having direct experience as a woman, of men's oppression. However, I tend to use the word pro-feminist out of respect and recognition for this difference of opinion, as do many male pro-feminists.
But I don't think calling men pro-feminists is a form of sexism or hyposcrisy as (I think?) you seem to suggest in your first line? It's not a question of equality in naming, it's about what you believe the feminist movement is primarily about and being respectful to both women and feminists.
Anyway, this page has more info, which might be of interest:
CMK // Posted 21 September 2009 at 7:11 pm
I think for me feminism is more of an idea or concept and as such can be taught and understood objectively. I suppose it could be comparable to the difference between understanding a religion and following a religion?
Hypocrisy would be far, far too strong a word, it really is just interesting to me. I really do not think either term is especially important, generally I dislike labels, and am far more interested in what people do.
I try to be respectful of people, especially those I disagree with (which is not always so easy).
