How You Can Get Confident With Women, Enjoy Alpha Male Seduction Skills, And Become The Man They All Want To Date (And Have Sex With….)
Tao Of Badass Reviewed
I hate the term Alpha Male, but I will admit that some guys have really "got it" when it comes to dating and seducing women.
The thing is, though, these guys are no more "alpha males" than you or me.
The truth is – if you use the techniques that these guys employ to seduce women, or get a date, or keep a relationship going, then you can be just as successful with women as any so-called alpha male.
You see, success with women isn't about money, intelligence, charm, or having a big dick. It's about confidence, openness, and respect. And did I mention being comfortable in your own masculinity?
I've studied the antics of the so-called "pickup artists", the "seduction community", call them what you will, for years now, to see if I could incorporate anything that they teach in my websites (such as this one. And www.the-penis.com for another).
I discovered that these guys are actually quite ordinary; there's nothing special about them, they just happen to know some stuff that you don't. Stuff they got from the Tao Of Badass eBook, or a free download, most likely.
The problem is, all the other guys who want to be successful with women see the dates they get, the sex they get, and their ability to walk into a bar and pick up a woman, and then think "Wow, those guys are really special."
What would you say if I told you it's just as easy for you to do all that stuff as it is for the pickup artists?
Well, it is. And The Tao of Badass will reveal how.
For a while now, these guys have kept their techniques secret, so they can play at being Alpha males, at being special, at giving the impression they know something we don't.
But now the truth is out!
Joshua Pellicer, one of the original pickup artists, has revealed all the techniques and secrets that can make every man (you included) successful with women in his exciting new program "Tao of Badass".
In this review, I'm going to reveal all the things in Badass which will make you just as successful with women as any other guy on this planet.
Just think about that: you – yes, YOU – can be as successful with women as any other guy on this planet.
A big claim? Maybe, maybe not. Truth is, Badass is a program that can make you successful with women, whether it's a date you want, a relationship you want, sex you want, or some combination of all three. Here's how.
Tao of Badass Review
Most reviews on the Internet, as you've probably seen, are just sales pitches. I do things differently. I tell you what's in the program, give you some guidance, and then leave you to decide whether you want to buy it or not.
I mean, if you're wise enough to know that you need some guidance in getting the girls, then you're wise enough to decide for yourself whether The Tao is what will help you.
So the question is: What's In Badass?
Well first of all, let's get this "Badass" thing out of the way. I don't know what the author, Joshua Pellicer, means by Badass, but when I looked the word up in the dictionary, I discovered it says "A male who does things perceived by the world as cool or awesome. 'Badass' can also be used as an adjective".
So you wanna be a guy with attitude, who can do things skillfully with women? Yes, I guess most guys would think that was awesome, especially if they happen to be sitting on the sidelines in a bar watching YOU pick up all the girls!
Before you try this, though, you might want to read The Tao Of Badass eBook. Packed with techniques that will allow you to approach any woman with confidence, "secret" techniques that will make a woman really interested in you, and essential skills of rapport-building, to make a woman feel immediately attracted to you, Badass is the difference between success and failure. No joke.
You're going to discover techniques to build rapport with women. To do this, of course you'll need to know what women want, and you'll need to know how to talk to them in a way that gets them and keeps them interested, and perhaps even turns them on.
Whoa there boy! That sounds like a heck of a learning program….. have no fear, though. My review is based on two things: first, I bought the program to read it, so I could see what's in it; second, I tried the techniques out for myself. So I know what I'm talking about.
You see, the thing is, most guys don't have much confidence around women, because they never learned how to "be" around women.
How to talk around women. How to behave around women. I mean, we all know men and women are different, right? So a guy has to do things differently with women to the way he does them with his male buddies.
(Treating a woman like she was your male buddy really would be a bit of Badass thing to do… that's a joke. I hope you realized that. otherwise you might need to buy this program immediately!)
And you never learned anything about dealing with women from your father, I am 100% sure of that. Well, he didn't know anything about being a Badass either.
As I once read on the Internet (memorable quote time): you can't go back to the beginning and make a brand-new start… but you can start from here and make a brand-new ending.
And the Tao of Badass is one of the things can show you how to make a new start with women, by showing you all the things you need to know.
Let's just recap what those are:
The importance of gender roles, in other words, knowing how to be a man. And that doesn't mean some stupid John Wayne macho thing. If you know who he was, great. If not, think of a swaggering, aggressive buffoon of a man who knows nothing about what women really want. That's to be treated with respect, by a real man.
How to establish rapport with a woman
How to make a woman feel safe so she can trust you (and you know where that goes, don't you?)
How to be extremely confident about yourself
How not be fazed by a woman's emotionality
How to be emotionally strong
How to have great rapport and be strong, both emotionally and spiritually, around women
How to be tolerant but assertive and set firm, clear boundaries
None of this is this that "new man" crap. In fact, women tend not to like "new men" because they see them as wimps.
And the reason they see them as wimps, apart from the fact that they are wimps, is because "new men" are so busy trying to please a woman that they lose their own sense of self.
Confused yet? Excited? Ready to go? I guess you might just need the eBook from the Tao of Badass.
If you understand what I'm saying, then you might be wondering where you get these techniques and skills from. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the answer is you read my review, and then you buy the Tao of Badass.
That's because Badass breaks all these skills down into tiny little steps; you can pick these up in no time at all, one by one. And every time you do something different, women will look at you with new interest.
Two key factors here are body language and communication.
The Tao will show you all you need to know about the right body language around women, and the right way to talk. It's not difficult: it just has to be a certain way.
The interesting thing is that no matter what you want, whether it's a date, a relationship or lots of screwing around, it's basically the same techniques that will get you there.
That's because once you've attracted a woman and penetrated her mind, when you've made her think you're a good guy, that it's worth spending time with you, she's pretty much willing to do just what you want.
Overwhelmed yet? Well, don't be. The Tao doesn't just increase your confidence by giving you the skills to approach women, talk to them and be natural with them. It does a whole lot more besides:
- it shows you what women want from a man, and how to give her those things
- it tells you how to behave around women so that they find you attractive
- it reveals how to read the stages of a relationship and what you should do in each of the stages
- it explains how to read the clues that woman is giving out about how she feels, and what to do if you think her interest level is dropping, to take it right back up to 100%
- it tells you how to get out of the "friend zone" ("Why don't we just be friends?") and into the sex zone
- it reveals how to deepen a relationship
- it shows you how to give a woman what she wants, even if it looks like she doesn't know what that is
- it reveals how to deal with the ways she'll "test" you, revealing what those "tests" look like, and what you need to do in response
- it reveals the secrets of body language, both hers and yours
- it explains what her body language means and how you can change her feelings using secret communication
- it teaches you how to communicate on every level in a relaxed, natural way.
And when you know all of that, then you really are living a life according to the Tao of Badass.
I've written a much more detailed review which you can find right here. But if this page has said enough, go look at The Tao of Badass sales page immediately.
Bearing in mind you can get your money back 60 days if you don't like the program, you really haven't got a single thing to lose….. but you might just have a whole load of sex, fun, intimacy and love with a woman to gain.

Part Three
Nikki broke contact first, looking away....trying to hide her emotions. Helen stared at the glass in her hand then took a large sip.
Neither one of them seemed to know what to say or how to approach regular conversation. Like anything about their relationship was regular, far from it.
Idle chit-chat was something they never did. It was always bare-boned talk, emotions high and truths forced out. They could see the what the other was thinking....always. Nikki looked back at Helen, smiling.
"How have you been?" She asked quietly, the real questions still too shy to be asked.
Helen smiled back softly. "Good, real good..and I can guess how you feel these days?"
Nikki shrugged. "Life on the outside, never thought I would see it again. And that's..." Nikki stopped herself, not wanting to say too much. Helen watched the feelings play across Nikki's face. Always so expressive, so easy to read...if you are looking that is.
"Please finish what you were going to say." Helen said, noting the sound of her own voice. It sounded like a plea...but for what? Nikki cleared her throat.
"Did you see my release? It was on television." Nikki asked. Helen shook her head no. Though she wanted to watch it, wanted to see Nikki's face that day...but Thomas was there. And Helen couldn't do it.
"I made some boring little speech about a woman and how she stood by me, made me try to appeal my sentence...how I owed her my life." Nikki said, the deep mixture of joy and pain that she felt that day happening all over again. Helen felt her heart pound harder as if it might beat right out of her chest.
She felt tears well up and didn't know how to stop them from falling. They felt hot as they rolled down her face.
"I don't know why I'm crying..." Helen whispered, trying to wipe them away. Nikki stood there, feeling helpless somehow. All she wanted, in her heart or hearts, was to take Helen into her arms and erase the past, to be with her forever. She took the glass from Helen's hand and handed it to a waiter.
"Can we go somewhere quiet and talk Helen?" Nikki asked.
Helen looked at Nikki. She knew Thomas was here...she knew, dammit! But all she could see was Nikki.
Nikki's eyes, Nikki's voice, just...Nikki.
"Outside." Helen said, already walking. Nikki watched her navigate through the crowd, the nagging voices inside her...warning her as to what she was about to do.
But it didn't matter. All that mattered was Helen.
The air was starting to get chilly. Nikki even thought she felt a raindrop or two. Helen stood just outside of the entrance..she was nervous. What the hell am I doing? Helen repeatedly asked herself. But she couldn't handle the answers. They stood in silence, both of them looking out into the surrounding night. Nikki put her hands in her pant pockets. Helen had her arms crossed but not rigidly, more like she was holding herself.
"I've...." Nikki started but was almost afraid to finish her thought. What if that just set Helen off and I would never see her again? Not that I'll see her anyway, not after tonight Nikki lamented. She had hoped it wouldn't fill her with such sadness.
Helen looked over and studied Nikki's face, the once familiar contours. A part of her wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, to reclaim that brief connection they had. But Helen refrained, like her muscles were stone....instead, she continued to watch Nikki, willing the other woman to speak. Nikki felt the gaze on her and turned to meet it, seeing in Helen what Nikki knew already. These things had to be said, now.
"I've missed you." Nikki said, her eyes fixed on Helen. The shyness was gone from Nikki's body. It was slowly being replaced by futile longing, desperation for Helen to return the same feelings.
Helen heard the words and, without a second thought, moved toward Nikki. She gently wrapped her arms about Nikki's waist..it was like coming home somehow. Helen let out a content sigh when she felt Nikki's arms go around her.
"I've missed you too Nikki...." Helen said quietly, into Nikki's shirt. Nikki held her tightly, not wanting to let go. It was like the past months almost had not happened...they could be together, as they once planned. Nikki also knew this wasn't real, this was emotions going at full steam. But she didn't want to stop it. This could be the last time Nikki saw Helen...ever. She wasn't going to throw it all away. She kissed the top of Helen's head and sighed. This felt so right....
Helen pulled back, but not away, looking into Nikki's eyes...searching for what to do next.

EcoBuns & Jabber Log Present: The Share A Story Giveaway!
Hello folks and welcome to the second collaboration between EcoBuns and Jabber Log. It's been some time since the first but we're back with another giveaway! So what's up for grabs this time? Well as you can see from the image here, it's a brand new GroVia print and the best part is that it's not even in stores yet. Yep, that's right, you will have a chance to win this superb looking print and be the envy of the cloth world before it hits stores in mid April. So, you're probably asking yourself, "Well what do I have to do?"
Well folks, the contest is titled, "The Share A Story Giveaway". Why share a story? Well, recently I wrote a post on Diaper Wars that followed my cloth adventure to the state of Florida. After writing this post I decided to share it with EcoBuns. From there it was shared with fans and then I was amazed and honored when I found out that GroVia had also shared my post. This caused a frenzy of views on my blog and none of it would have been possible without a "share" from everyone. So sticking with the same formula, we have decided to base this contest around sharing stories. Ok, so now that I have explained the concept let's get to the specifics.
--- How to enter The Share A Story Giveaway ---
1. Like Jabber Log on Facebook and post "complete" on the wall or something to that effect.
2. Like EcoBuns on Facebook and post "complete" on the wall or something to that effect, however, if you are already a fan then please subscribe to Jabber Log on WordPress. (There is a sign up button on the left side of the main page.)
3. Last but not least, you will comment to this post and share a funny story.
Now, you're probably wondering if the funny story can be about anything but what we're looking for is a funny story that involves a unique diaper change. For example, the story about my wife and I changing our daughters diaper at Legoland, in public, and while she was feeding. The contest will begin at the time of this posting and will go until midnight of 03/28/12. As for a limit, there is no limit to how many stories you can post as long as they are in by the deadline. On Wednesday the 28th we will go through all the stories and narrow them down to four finalists. After those have been chosen we will post them on Jabber Log where everyone can vote on the best one. This will hopefully be done by the end of Wednesday so that everyone can get in on the voting. On Saturday the 31st the polls will be closed and a winner will be chosen by the highest number of votes it received. This is meant to be fun so dig deep into your memory banks and bust out some funny diaper change stories. We look forward to reading them and may the cloth be with you.
Disclaimer: In no way, shape, or form is Facebook or GroVia directly affiliated with this contest. Also, if your story is chosen as winner and you live in Canada you will be required to pay shipping costs.

Khichdi and Kadhi: The Soul food of India
Every house hold has several recipes of Khichdi, using different daals (lentils) with rice, from very plain and bland version to spicy version. I am going to give you my recipe of spicy version of Khichdi. This is entirely different than that of what my mom and my granny used to make. That used to very plain, and I feel that often time people like my sister learn to hate the Khichdi due to is plainness and because they have never tried my spicy version. Now if you are going to serve the Khichdi to a baby or an ill person, you may want to avoid all the spices and just use rice, moong dal, salt and turmeric powder, and serve with a touch of butter or Ghee.
Khichdi differs in consistency, spice level and texture, depending on the occasion and who it is being served to. It's likely to be mushy and bland for someone who's ill, or as a starter solid for a baby.
I am going to give you two recipes in this post. One for Khichdi and another one for Kadhi, which is a common accompaniment with Khichadi where I came from.
Here is what Wikipedia has to say about this soul food of India.
The word khichrī is derived from Sanskrit khichā, a dish of rice and pulses (lentils). Khichdi is described in the writings of Afanasiy Nikitin, a Russian adventurer who traveled to the Indian subcontinent in the 15th century. Khichri was very popular with the Mughals, especially Jahangir. Ain-i-Akbari, a 16th century document, written by Mughal Emperor, Akbar's vizier, Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak, mentions the recipe for khichdi, which gives seven variations. There is an anecdotal story featuring Akbar, Birbal and khichri.
Khichdi is commonly served with another Indian dish called kadhi. Other common accompaniments are papadam, raw onions, beguni (deep fried eggplants in a besan batter), ghee (clarified butter), achar (oil based pickle), and yogurt.
Khichri is a very popular dish across Pakistan, northern India, eastern India and Bangladesh. The dish is widely prepared in many Indian states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Bengal (where it is called Bengali: khichuri). Vegetables such as cauliflower, potato, and green peas are commonly added. In Bengali tradition it is customary to cook khichuri on rainy days. It is also traditional in Bengal to cook khichuri for lunch at the Saraswati Puja during the month of February—the invocation of the goddess of learning—and for other popular pujas such as Durga Puja.
Khitchuri is traditional diet and daily meal of Kutchi people and they can make several variety of dishes using Kitchari.
While khichuri is cooked as a rather rich gourmet delicacy in Bengal, it is cooked very differently in northern and western India, where it is considered a very plain bland dish usually served to people who are ill. Khichdi is also the first solid that babies are introduced to. Rice and lentils are simmered till mushy, seasoned with turmeric and salt, and fed to infants to introduce them to "adult" food. Khichri is also popular in Pakistan where it is considered a light dish that can be served to sick people. It is especially cooked for children and people with stomach problems as it is easily digestible compared to other Pakistani dishes which usually have meat and are also spicy. Although it has a similar name, khichra is actually a variation of haleem and is not to be confused with khichdi.
Khichri is also a favorite campfire food, owing to the convenience of being able to cook the dish in a single simmering pot.
Khichdi, when well cooked with a little oil, is considered a light and nutritious dish, and is especially popular amongst many who follow an ayurvedic diet or nature cure.
Khechidi is very popular in Odisha. There are varieties of khechidi in Odisha like adahengu khechidi (garlic-asafoetida khichdi), moong dal khichdi, etc. Adahengu khechidi is a popular dish in the Jagannath Temple as well. At home, moong dal khechidi and other khechidis are served with pampad, pickle, curd, aaloo bharta, or baigan bharta and chutney.
Khichri is also very popular in Bihar. It is made with rice, dal, and garam masala, cooked into a semi-paste like consistency and eaten with lots of ghee, baigan ka bharta, aaloo ka bharta (mashed potato with onions, green chilli, salt and mustard oil), tomato chutney (blanched tomato, onion, green chilli, grated ginger and mustard oil), pāpaṛ, tilori (a fried snack), and mango pickle. It is customary to eat khichdi every Saturday in Bihar, and also at dinner during Makar Sankranti.
Bisi Bele Bath or "Hot Lentil Rice" is famous variant of Kichdi from Karnataka, a state in Southern India. Pongal, a dish similar to khichri, is popular in Southern India, primarily in Tamilnadu. It is primarily made of rice and lentils, and seasoned with black pepper, cumin, and cashews.
These recipes yields about 4-6 servings.
Ingredients For Khichdi:
1 cup rice
2 cups Toor daal (Split pigeon Peas) You can use Moong daal if you prefer its easily digestive quality)
2 small onions
5-6 pods garlic chopped

* While you are cooking the Khichdi in pressure cooker. You can prepare the Kadhi as follows:
Ingredients for Kadhi:
2 cups of plain yogurt
5 cups of water
1/4 cup of gram flour

* Heat above liquid mixture on stove on medium heat initially then to medium -low heat with stirring intermittently for 20 min or until the fenugreek seeds are soft. (need to watch this, because can boil over if left unattended and unstirred).
* Once everything is well incorporated in this liquid mixture with light yellow color, add sugar and turn the heat off.
Method to prepare Tadka:
* Take a small frying pan, or Tadka container (these are cute small container for tadka for this purpose only that you can buy from Indian store)
* Heat this on low heat (since it is small it does not take long to heat this)
* Add oil.
* When oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cloves, chili pods, curry leaves and when these crackle add asafetida, turn the heat off.
* Carefully remove this from stove and pour it over the Kadhi liquid.
* Mix well.
* Garnish with Chopped cilantro leaves.
* Kadhi is ready to be served with Khichdi along with accompaniment of chopped raw onions, spicy garlic paste (recipe on this blog), desired Indian pickles and roasted papadum (just buy the ready made papadam from Indian store and roast it at home believe me you don't want to know the recipe for papadam).
Enjoy :)
Hint: Over all and all this is a very nutritious item, and very versatile recipe. You may want to cut down of amount of oil and butter, it want to make it low fat and add or delete the spices per your taste.

Tonight I watched Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom entitled, "Return to Penguin City." In this episode they talked of the scientists' research of the Adelies' annual migration to their breeding grounds, the incubation of the eggs, the raising of the chicks, and their lives in their colonies on the Antarctic peninsula. It was a very interesting show. I mostly found their behaviors particularly fascinating.
When the juveniles left their creches, they were like tourists going to the big city of the first time, in awe with their mouthes gaped open. Also along with unfamiliar surroundings, these penguins needed to learn the local lingo and proper gestures. Once they've laid their claim to some real estate, they must use their new behaviors to keep it theirs, sometimes by being aggressive – growling & snipping at each other and picking fights. Even though it should be common sense, it's amazing to see animals exhibit the same behaviors as humans.
The episode also talked of the links between the amount of pack ice and Adelie populations. When the amount of pack ice increased, the populations thrived. The penguin population decreased when large amounts of their coastal ice habitat melted and fell into the sea. It does seem most obvious, though, when you eliminate habitat that the population of a species will shrink as well. I don't believe they were trying to push any sort of opinion on the global climate changes but more of their scientific observations as they should be.
There's more to the episode and it definitely is a good episode to watch. If you missed it tonight, it will be on again on March 26th at 8pm & 11pm and March 30th at 2pm, all times Eastern.
From the Animal Planet listing:
Millions of Adelie penguins storm the beaches of Antarctica every October, as they undertake an annual migration to their breeding grounds. For over half a century, researchers have been coming here, hoping to unlock the secrets of these penguins' lives. Braving fierce storms, outsmarting predators, and scaling rogue icebergs — these birds are extraordinary survivors. But they may now face the ultimate challenge. In Return to Penguin City, scientists Grant Ballard and Viola Toniolo discover that rapid climate changes may not only affect the penguins in Antarctica, but could also have major repercussions well beyond this remote corner of the world.

« "Violence will rise as climate changes, scientists predict" | Main | Condemned Ohio inmate takes care of his own execution a few days early »
August 3, 2013
With seven executions scheduled, Texas running out of needed drugsAs this AP story reports, Texas is on the verge of having problems already facing other states with expired or expiring execution drugs. Here are the details:
The nation's most active death penalty state is running out of its execution drug. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said Thursday that its remaining supply of pentobarbital expires in September and that no alternatives have been found. It wasn't immediately clear whether two executions scheduled for next month would be delayed. The state has already executed 11 death-row inmates this year, and at least seven more have execution dates in coming months.
"We will be unable to use our current supply of pentobarbital after it expires," agency spokesman Jason Clark said. "We are exploring all options at this time."
Texas switched to the lethal, single-dose sedative last year after one of the drugs used in its three-drug execution process became difficult to obtain and the state's supply expired. Other death-penalty states have encountered similar problems after some drug suppliers barred the drugs' use for executions or have refused, under pressure from death-penalty opponents, to sell or manufacture drugs for use in executions....
"When Texas raises a flag that's it having a problem, obviously numerically it's significant around in the country because like they're doing half the executions in the country right now," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center, an anti-death penalty organization, said Thursday....
Some death penalty states, most recently Georgia, have announced they're turning to compounding pharmacies, which make customized drugs that are not scrutinized by the Federal Drug Administration, to obtain a lethal drug for execution use.
Missouri wants to use propofol, the anesthetic blamed for pop star Michael Jackson's 2009 death - even though the drug hasn't been used to execute prisoners in the U.S. Its potential for lethal injection is under scrutiny by the courts and its first use isn't likely anytime soon. The Missouri Supreme Court has declined to allow execution dates to be set in that state until the legal issues are resolved.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster recently suggested that if a suitable execution drug can't be found, the state should consider the gas chamber. State law still allows for execution by lethal gas, though Missouri no longer even has a gas chamber....
Texas has by far executed more inmates than any other state in the U.S. since the Supreme Court allowed executions to resume. Since 1982, six years after the high court's order, Texas has executed 503 inmates. Virginia is a distant second at 110.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference With seven executions scheduled, Texas running out of needed drugs:
We are assured that the death penalty is so very supported by the general population, so why is such pressure so problematic? Can't they get the stuff domestically somehow? There should be a means to avoid this sort of thing. I still continue to think that long term, a solution will be found.
Use of the gas chamber seems likely to cause problems, even if I thought the courts would ultimately uphold its use under the 8A. Have they thought about the firing squad? One thing we will never in the immediate future have a shortage of in this country will be bullets.

There exist methods that are better than shooting or injecting , albeit some squirm over the ick or aesthetic factor .

Propofol is a great drug in the hands of anesthesiologists, with almost no side effects. It could easily replace pentobarbital. Small problem. The vile lawyer traitor has driven it off the market in the United States.
Isn't it time to strike back at these horrible traitors?

As a toast to a modest proposal, why not outsource the job? Beheading probably works well on occasion and the Mexican cartels have a lot of practice. If that isn't modest enough, they can probably get any killer drug anyone wants.

Lib: This is a secular nation. Peddle your cheap religious propaganda to Venezuela. While the Ten Commandments may be shown in a courtroom lobby for traditional, it is impermissible as a policy guide. That would be as offensive to the Establishment Clause as the Sharia. I have read the Sharia, and 90% of it is pretty good. But screams would go up if I suggested it as guidance.

Poor right-winger, pro-death penalty folks on this blog. S.C., you must be really upset. Defense lawyers actually doing their jobs--fighting zealously every day for their clients lives, raising every conceivable issue. Hey, they're even stopping the Texas death train. Kudos to the defense bar. If Jesus had had one of these guys or gals defending him, the world would be a different place.

Anti: Only prayer remains, because the legal system is hopelessly biased against the victim.
I pray you get attacked by a client, fully immunized by the lawyer with LWOP. They will suspend his cafeteria privileges, as a guard supervisor said after one of your clients killed a female prison guard.
I pray the death penalty is ended in your state so you lose your worthless government make work job.
I pray you try to say the V word, and choke, and an ambulance has to be called.
I pray the families of murder victims form direct action groups, and give pro lawyer rent seeking judges 20 lashes, tie them to trees outside the court for all employees to see arriving to work. To deter.

"Kudos to the defense bar. If Jesus had had one of these guys or gals defending him, the world would be a different place."
Just so. Under Christian doctrine, Jesus's death was the sacrifice that redeemed mankind from Original Sin. Without it, the human race would remain unredeemed, and would be even worse off than it is now.
Glad you thought that one through.
P.S. Do people actually say "gals" anymore?
Posted by: Bill Otis | Aug 5, 2013 8:19:47 AM
Bill Otis, you write that "Under Christian doctrine, Jesus's death was the sacrifice that redeemed mankind from Original Sin. Without it, the human race would remain unredeemed, and would be even worse off than it is now. Glad you thought that one through."
Christian (and Jewish and Muslim) doctrine is nonsense and make believe--just like the gods in the Odyssey and the Iliad. In any event, hard do believe that without the death of Jesus, mankind would better off than now. Had Jesus been acquitted, there would have been no Christianity, no Crusades, no Inquisition, no hundreds of thousands of deaths from Christian-Muslim slaughters, no hundreds of thousands of deaths from the 100 years war, the various protestant-Catholic slaughters through the centuries, no catholic slaughters of native South-Americans, and no relentless expulsion,persecution and slaughter of the Jews, culminating in the Holocaust.
Bill, glad you thought that one through.

lapsed Catholic --
1. I notice that you do not dispute my statement of what Christian doctrine teaches.
2. Kindly point to the passage in which I said that I accept Christian doctrine, or that I follow any religion. You're not about to do so, since I have never said on this blog what religion, if any, I follow.
3. I would tell you to think it through, but you're not ready for that, since you need to learn how to read first.
4. I will tell you, however, that, unlike you, I am not an anti-Catholic bigot.
Posted by: Bill Otis | Aug 5, 2013 7:09:41 PM
I would add to Bill Otis' last comment (leaving out 3/4) that even if you don't believe Jesus is Christ and so forth, it is probable some form of religion would have developed akin to the Roman Catholic Church. And, Nazis didn't need Jesus being Savior to justify genocide. They would have found a way, probably.
As to a [clearly open to dispute] commentary of the death penalty thru the lens of Christian doctrine, I again recommend the volume written by friend of Prof. Berman, Mark Osler.

Childhood Memories on MV (Lunch & Dinner 7.16.10)
I spent the day with Mike and Will on Martha's Vineyard - a little island off of Cape Cod which is where I grew up. As kids we went over to MV weekly but it's been years since I have been there. Iit was so nice to see how much has stayed the same and to see how much changed!
The things I remember always doing when we went to Oak Bluffs were (1) go to the candy shop, (2) get ice cream or frozen lemonade (3) see gingerbread houses and (4) ride the flying horses. We did #1, #3 and #4 and trust me I wanted to do #3 but we ate a late lunch and I was too stuffed for ice cream (from Mad Marthas of course). It was Mike and Will's first trip to MV. It was neat to see them experience it for the first time and for me to be remembering it all from when I was younger. A lot has changed but enough was the same for me to really enjoy the day with my family.
](http://blog.self.com/fooddiet/blogs/eatlikeme/assets_c/2010/07/IMG_4840-66141.html)For dinner we just grilled some steak at my parents and had it with a bunch of sides - corn, beets & goat cheese, asparagus and mashed sweet potato. I really enjoyed my bonus vacation day - and now it's the weekend!

Welcome to a terrific Tuesday! Google has confirmed that it will announce new phones on October 4. Based on the latest leaks of the purported Pixel and Pixel XL, it looks like we'll be treated to great designs (once again) from HTC.
Speaking of HTC, the company has launched the Desire 10 Lifestyle and Desire 10 Pro. The mid-tier phones are still made out of plastic, but now come with a more upmarket design. With HTC unable to make a dent in the high-end segment, the brand is relying on the Desire series to turn things around, especially in emerging markets.
Samsung is all set to roll out replacement units of the Note 7 to Australian customers starting tomorrow. The South Korean company is also testing Nougat on the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, although we don't know when it'll be available on retail units. Here's what's making the rounds today.
Google Oct. 4 event is official as Pixel phones leaks out
Google late last night confirmed it'll hold a phone-themed event in San Francisco on October 4, as widely rumored. We're expecting to see Android 7.1 and a new Google system UI atop it, running on a pair of HTC-built, Google-branded phones.
And we're already starting to see the rumored Pixel and Pixel XL leak out in places. Pics of both models in silver/white cropped up on Android Police last night, while a Nest commercial in the Netherlands also shows a brief glimpse of the Pixel in the same color combo.
UK bank TSB now supports Android Pay
TSB was the one remaining holdout among the major UK high street banks. To sweeten the deal, the bank is offering customers (with Classic Plus accounts or MasterCard credit cards) the chance to earn 5% cashback on the first £100 of contactless payments with Android Pay each month.
Note 7 replacement units arriving in Australia tomorrow
Samsung is kicking off its Note 7 replacement program in Australia from tomorrow, September 21. The manufacturer will also roll out a software update tomorrow to all Note 7 units in the country that will limit the battery's charge to 60% (much like what it did in Korea). The new units will also receive a software update that will turn the battery icon green, indicating that the phone is safe to use.
HTC Desire 10 is official!
HTC's latest mid-range phones are the Desire 10 Lifestyle and Desire 10 Pro. The handsets offer bold colors encased in a polycarbonate chassis, with gold accents running around the edges. The Desire 10 Lifestyle will retail for £249 in the UK, and the Pro variant will be in the £300-£400 mark. More
WhatsApp lets you tag people in group chats
You can now tag people in WhatsApp group chats. Just use the @ symbol followed by the contact's name. The feature will definitely come in handy when trying to have a productive conversation, and it can also be used to annoy people.
Samsung testing Nougat on S7, S7 edge
PhoneArena came across a Geekbench test score of the S7 and S7 edge running Nougat. It should come as no surprise that Samsung is testing Nougat on this year's flagships, but at this stage there's no indication as to when we'll see the update make its way to consumer devices.
Twitter shuts down engineering office in India
Twitter has shut down its engineering center in Bengaluru, India. The company has laid off its staff of 20, which joined Twitter following ZipDial's acquisition last year. Twitter's Gurgaon and Mumbai offices will continue to serve sales support, media partnerships, marketing, and business development roles.

Whether it's a traditional blue jeans or colored denim jacket, the denim jacket is an essential piece for every wardrobe.
For today' outfit I combined red denim jacket with light neutral tone colored. The red denim jacket added the pop of color I was looking for and kept me warm on those fall days.
I love the way the red jacket brings out emotions of happiness (red is cheerful and known as a celebratory color) but since red is such a dominant color it easily brings the focus on the jacket, so pairing it with light tones works best (gray or beige would have worked just as well)

Our guiding principle while designing ActiveForms was: forms change. You no longer create forms once and for all. If your form is supposed to sell something, it needs some work—correcting, optimising and testing. Just as websites or Facebook fanpages change, so do your forms.
There may be lots of reasons for changes:
Those reasons come one after the other or all at once. Consequently, your form changes all the time.
We have done some research and checked how often you modify your forms (or more specifically, how often new releases appear). The chart below shows the number of changes to your various forms over 3 months:
What can we see here?
With a medium-sized implementation with, say, 40 forms, you need to introduce 120 changes a month or 6 changes per working day!
Can you be so flexible coding forms the old-fashioned way? No chance!

At Gametee, our mission is clear. We aim to provide the gaming community with the finest, high quality video-gaming merchandise and apparel. At Gametee, we are inspired by every game we have played and loved. Our designs have been informed by the best loved games of the past and present. We are committed to gaming, and to excellence, and we are the world's first luxury brand for gamers.
Gametee is a project by two sisters, A.J. and Lucy-Anna Hateley. We have created eight exceptional, community influenced, inspired-by gaming T-shirt designs that we want to make a reality.
As life long gamers and professional designers, we have worked closely with the gaming community to bring you luxurious, fashionable apparel. Gametee t-shirts are specially designed for gamers that want something more from their gaming clothing. Some designs are vintage in feel, some bold....all are incredible......
In this Kickstarter campaign, with your support, we can fund and produce the first production runs for each of these inspired designs.
We believe that videogames are a meaningful art form and our designs reflect this fundamental, founding principle.
Check them out below!!!
Our tshirts are superior and pure luxury in every way. They are lightweight, ultra soft and ultra comfortable. Our prints sit within the fabric and move with the wearer, giving the ultimate soft feel. They will never degrade, crack or peel. Our oversized print area makes us unique in the industry.
T-shirts will be available in all sizes from S-2XL in Mens/Unisex and also Ladies tailored fit from S-2XL, using 100% cotton or a poly/cotton blend for your ultimate comfort and an incredible fit.
A.J. Hateley is a British illustrator and designer and winner of the Penguin Design Award. She is a concept artist for the videogame company Camouflaj and works alongside the teams responsible for Halo 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Her work has appeared internationally and to great acclaim, being featured in Kotaku and Game informer.
"Video-games have been my life long passion. I am extremely humbled by the consistent support that the gaming community has shown me. I'm so grateful to the developers, journalists, and individuals that have enabled me to fulfill my dreams. They are the people I work for. I have put my heart and soul into creating a portfolio of designs for Gametee and it is with great pleasure that I will be showcasing the very best of my art work here on Kickstarter."
Our tees are quality. Lightweight and tailored; our t-shirts will be manufactured to the highest standards. All our t-shirts will be produced in an ethically sound, sweat-shop free environment.
Dress them up, or down, they are completely versatile and totally wearable.......
Ceramics at Gametee are dishwasher safe, and as with our tees, designs are permanent and manufactured to the highest standard. Each of our coffee mugs comes packaged in its own individually hand-stamped gift box.
Our print range features some of the most popular pieces of A.J. Hateley's portfolio. These special editions of the prints ship rolled, signed and numbered. They are giclee printed on high-quality archival high gsm card stock with a matte finish.
If we, with your support, are able to attain our £5000 funding goal, our next step is to produce hoodies of the same exceptional quality as our t shirts.
Alternate t-shirt colours for each design will also be unlocked!!
Throughout the campaign we will be unlocking extra bonuses and surprises for our backers on a regular basis, this is just the beginning!!! Backers watch this space!!!
As a special incentive, we have developed two secret designs which will unlock if the funding goal is surpassed, they are incredible and we so hope to reveal them and make them available in this campaign!!!
Our videogaming journey began in the early eighties, when Lucy would pedal her pushbike to the local arcade to play Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. "My first console was a ZX Spectrum, and every week I'd buy a new cassette with my pocket money. A.J. was born in '87, the same year that the first ever Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy was released. We loved playing together, but the game that really changed our perspectives on the craft was probably Abe's Oddysee."
A.J. began her first steps toward professional illustration drawing the characters from the games of her childhood. "I would pause the screen and draw everything on it. My favourite subjects were the characters and monsters of Final Fantasy. It gave me a respect and admiration for the artists that I carry with me to this day."
Lucy's favourite developer is Valve. "I've spent a huge amount of time on the Left 4 Dead series. Online competitive gaming is a big part of my life. But recently, I'm devoted to Bethesda and Skyrim; I'm trying to get my character to level 81."
A.J. is very supportive of independents. "I've been playing The Binding of Isaac non-stop. Danny Baranowsky's music is remarkable. My favourite game of all time must be Minecraft, though, I love the infinite capacity it has for creativity. The modding community around the game is exceptional."
"We're both anticipating Tomb Raider, Republique, and GTA V."
A.J. Hateley is a professionally qualified illustrator, and graduated from the University of Derby in 2012 with a Masters degree with distinction in Visual Communication - Illustration. She was a finalist in the British Northern Design competition and winner of the Penguin Design Competition. Her client list includes Penguin, Barnes and Noble, Camouflaj and Authorhouse. A.J. is the artist responsible for the ongoing series 30 Days of Videogames and the Gaming Luggage Label Collection.
Lucy-Anna Hateley is one of Britain's most sought after interior designers and an independent buisnesswoman previously responsible for the overseeing of large scale commercial projects. Lucy studied at the KLC School of Design in Chelsea, London and has over ten years experience working as a lead designer for Britain's premier interior design company. For five years she was financial director and lead designer at a promotional merchandise and marketing company.
Both sisters are committed, life long gamers.

This is a nice, clean, soft and well made tee, with a Dr Who design on it, but there are hundreds of other geeky and clever designs over at the website that there is something for everyone!
My son, the Dr Who fan (aren't we all, really?), LOVES the t-shirt and when he loves something he definitely lets me know - he's 19 and so when he doesn't want to wear it, he won't put it on, but here he is, enjoying the new T-shirt in all its glory!
Add one to your gift list, this year, I am sure there is someone you know that would LOVE a particular design on their shirt that you might not be able to find elsewhere, so why not take a look and see what you discover!
You can find Five Finger Tees at their website or on Twitter and Facebook, respectively!
Follow #MGBHGG on Twitter for this years Holiday Gift Guide!

"Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity," said a psychiatrist. The Women's Movement was energized during the 1960s. But history reminds us that it started many years before the 1960s.
In the 1960s, we met Betty Friedan. She was a founder of NOW, the National Organization for Women.
There is some progress to report:
And today at San Francisco State University there is a Women's Center

Noah Zacharin and Scott Cook
Band Description [+]
Noah Zacharin
Noah Zacharin is an acknowledged guitar master and writer of literate, deeply-felt songs. Decades of listening and learning enable him to move easily and authentically across the genres of "Americana." Folk, blues, ragtime, country, bluegrass, and jazz—all are called upon as vehicles for his songs. Combining the linguistic skills of a published, award-winning poet and translator, with a singular accompaniment style, Zacharin's songs are each unique diamonds.
Over the course of his career, Noah Zacharin has recorded 8 CD's of mostly original music, collaborated on several others (including one with renowned Canadian writer Ken Norris), and produced and/or performed on some 60 recordings by other artists throughout North America. His eighth CD has just been released, and a re-issue of 2007's much-lauded "Waiting on Your Love" will be ready later in the year. This latter will include unreleased material from the original sessions and a DVD of beautiful ASL interpretation by David McCloskey.
In performance, Noah Zacharin firmly believes his job is to "dance on the tightrope." Avoiding the safety of fixed arrangements, always reaching for new guitar and vocal moves (with a voice none other than Leonard Cohen has called 'very compelling'), Zacharin takes his listeners on a complex and enriching emotional journey. Often cited as a leader in his community, Noah Zacharin's performances are not to be missed.
Scott Cook
A roots balladeer with a rare personal warmth, Alberta's Scott Cook has distilled the stories collected over a decade touring across Canada, the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia into straight-talking, keenly observant verse. His fourth DIY release, One More Time Around, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award, and its opening track "Pass It Along" won the Folk and Acoustic category in the 2013 UK Songwriting Contest, with UK magazine Maverick Country naming him "one of Canada's most inspiring and imaginative storytellers". In 2015 he assembled a seven-piece honky-tonk band for his fifth studio album, Scott Cook and the Long Weekends Go Long, and in 2017 he released his sixth studio album, Further Down the Line, earning his second Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, for English Songwriter of the Year.
The album comes packaged in a 132-page book containing a look back, in words and pictures, on his last decade of near-incessant travel. Cook is one of the hardest-working troubadours on the road today, averaging over 150 shows and a dozen festivals every year since 2007. All the hard miles notwithstanding, he still believes that songs can change your life, and your life can change the world.
"As good a modern folkie as we have these days. A voice perfect for the genre. An understanding beyond the norm." -No Depression
"He sings his heart and soul, and in doing so lets light flood into your own… A good eye for imagery, a gentle human touch, a wry sense of humour, a whole lot of integrity, a warm, rugged voice and a bunch of memorable lines… Truly one of Woody Guthrie's children." -RnR Magazine

This past weekend my BMLC teammate Stephen Magee broke 18:00 for the first time as a masters runner with a stellar 17:59 at the Dogfish Head Dash in Delaware, capturing First Place in the Masters Division. Stephen is the world's biggest fan of Dogfish Head Beer so it's appropriate that he won their race! Here's his race report, followed by a report of the weekend festivities:
It was a tough day strong wind from the North 15 mph. I was so geeked up for the race. I ran too hard the first mile 5:34 wind clocking around the back. Then the 2nd mile dead into the wind. I was 5th at the mile. A pack of 11 or so came up on me including my pal Brooks. He said it too nice a pack to let go, so he drafted up to me. By the time they reached me it had shredded to 4 people. Brooks passed me at the turn-around and I quickly came back on him. The rest of the pack dropped like bricks. I increased pace and was closing on the kids in-front of me but they had too big a lead. I was 5th over-all and first masters. Brooks won the 40-49 age group in 18:36. If I had better control and less beer in me I would have been about 10 seconds faster, but I was pleased. After a weekend of drinking and playing it was a great result. Another note Jennifer won the women's over-all (top 25 over-all I think). Her first ever over-all win! clocking 19:55 respectable for her, but not a PR like myself. All the fans were cheering for the first Women. We even got a picture with Sam after the race! He was so excited for us! This year the 5k and 10K had some real runners I think the 10k winner was 36:03! I think I would have been 3rd if I ran the 10K, but I was in no shape http://www.dogfish.com/news/2007_Dogfish_Dash_Winners!/962/index.htm If you look in the picture at the start I am right under the starters arm with my orange hat and BMLC singlet! The picture is of me at the finish!
Weekend Report:
I had no idea that I was a celebrity at Dogfish Head. They rolled out the royal welcome for me! We got treated to meals, excellent beer, behind the scene tour of the brewery, I was interviewed for a local paper! The manager of the brewpub comped us a $100.00 bottle of 2004 World Wide Stout! Clause treated us to dinner and so much great beer, even had us over to his house! Even the Chocolate infused Vodka they make. It was a super weekend. They gave me so much swag! and a few collectors only bottles of beer. I was even given a 6 pak of IPA 90 that they can't sell because it came in too high on ABV! I have that for special occasions only (but I am dying to taste it)! I will have pictures to follow and the newspaper article in a week or so. It was a great weekend. I hope some fellow BMCL's can make the trip next year! I will be trying to get more people out there. The ocean Kayak tour was a great hit. Next year they are going to comp me the Kayak trip! It was amazing! The weekend was too good. Next year I will take off Friday and Monday so I can party after the race. It was so hard to leave!

Facebook less like a college dorm than you'd think
One imagines Facebook as a geek utopia, where hackers who dropped out of college play Rock Band all day, then stay up all night coding. The reality: It's as depressingly Dilbertian as any other company — and COO Sheryl "No-Fun" Sandberg is making sure it keeps getting more boring every day. Take the latest tiff we happened to hear about — in the social network's business-development department, the home of glad-handing charmers who negotiate deals. You'd think they'd be experts at sucking up to each other. Tim Kendall (shown left), the company's director of monetization — Valleyspeak for "guy who comes up with ideas to make money" — was left fuming after his boss, VP Dan Rose, instructed him in the art of time management."Every day, you need to create a to-do list," Rose told Kendall. "You put the items you need to do on the list, and you need to review the list with me every day. As you do them, you need to cross them off." Kendall's retort, which he delivered not to Rose but to friends within and without Facebook: "No shit Sherlock, I didn't get to where I am today without knowing how to manage a to-do list!" What's odd about this rumor: Rose doesn't have a reputation as a micromanager, and the two both worked at Amazon.com before joining Facebook. They put on a convincing buddy act for the New York Times recently, too. Anyone care to play Encyclopedia Brown and help piece together this puzzle? My only conclusion: The best algorithms can't predict what will break a friendship. (Photo by Chris Pan)
