For nearly 20 years, HBO's Real Sex franchise made audiences squirm by graphically exploring middle-aged American couples' sexual crises (among other issues relating to human sexuality). By comparison, Lifetime's attempt at a bold therapeutic experiment with 7 Days Of Sex feels almost cute— and conservative. So it's only fitting that one of tonight's couples, Marilyn and Galen Tipps, struggles with overcoming prudish attitudes about intimacy.
Poor Galen. He's just a mild-mannered Christian divorcé, remarried and raising a blended household with feisty, uninhibited Marilyn, who was also previously married. The Tipps illustrate that, in general, opposites attract during courtship, but can wreak havoc in the bedroom, especially when there's baggage from previous relationships, well-defined personal values, and even more stubbornly entrenched roles as familial caretakers.
That latter bugaboo represents the primary rift between Derek and Chantal James, who are far more entertaining and relatable, and have genuine romantic spark. As Derek so delicately puts it, "We get in where we fit in." They've just gotten stuck in a bit of a Mad Men-circa-season-one rut: Chantal struggles for respect as a housewife and mother of three young children, while Derek wants to come home from work, deliver the bacon and then service his sausage—if you get the incredibly tasteless, adolescent double-meaning.
If only the ensuing hour were anywhere near that indulgent. Or, alternatively, insightful. Rather than introduce a professional mediator—be it a coach, couples counselor, what have you—7 Days Of Sex (tantalizingly produced by the folks behind All-American Muslim) lays down its titular gauntlet and essentially leaves the duos to their own devices. One of those devices being the ol' night-vision booty camera, long a pop-culture staple thanks to The Real World and 1 Night In Paris. In this case, Marilyn uses it to humiliate Galen rather than titillate viewers, a running theme in the footage that was cut together. Throughout, she is portrayed as the belittling, unsympathetic, selfish diva, while Galen is mostly captured floundering outside his comfort zone at lingerie stores or meekly suggesting his wife initiate sex one of the seven nights.
And since every story needs a hero as well as a villain, and no two stories should be alike, Derek is depicted as the insensitive male chauvinist, incapable of putting his childish needs aside in deference to supporting Chantal's difficult adjustment to Mrs. Mom. There's also a bit more room for producers to have fun with the relatively free-spirited James' by sending Chantal for a lap-dance class, which is also the episode's lone truly sexy moment. Their actual self-recorded, post-coitus diary reflections, all of which curiously seem to be lifted from one confessional, fail to seize on that heat. Then again, it's pretty hard to feel steamy after Derek gloats to Chantal, "I even shaved down here for you."
In fairness, this show is called 7 Days Of Sex, not Hotel Erotica. Any married couple understands how difficult it becomes to compartmentalize sex from the rest of a shared life together, and how easily confused pleasure can get with the stresses and politics of relationships. We are still individuals, and we long to connect with that as we get deeper into commitment, yet sex requires being totally in sync and unselfish. It's a conversation that's long overdue on mainstream, primetime television, but 7 Days Of Sex is a bit too content relying on the conventions of reality storytelling.
Stray observations:
- A good example of what happens (i.e. flat TV) when noncompelling reality characters are expected to carry the dramatic heft: Galen, describing his marital dynamic, observes, "I'm a little modest, and Marilyn's kind of the opposite of that."
- Seriously though, Marilyn, we know you're having fun busting his chops, but you're making it too easy for them to posit you as being really, really mean and vapid.
- Likewise, Marilyn, cool it on the pie jokes. We get it, you're comfortable with sex.
- "I'm not the guy you're supposed to tear down. I'm not the guy you're supposed to mock." You go, Galen!
- Is Galen not a dead ringer for D.W. Moffett, a.k.a. Friday Night Lights villain Joe McCoy?
- Why bring in your nosy, needling friends as mediators? How is that objective or constructive?
- Speaking of which, Marilyn's friends were quite Designing Women-chic.
- Really, Derek, no ring, no wedding? Nothing?
- Derek: "The meat wasn't tough was it?" Chantal: "No, it was tender." Um, that's what she said?
- Chantal, the man asked you to stop pinching his nipples!

Clearwire's Tortured Four Year Existence
Clearwire's background to its sale to Sprint has to start all the way at the beginning. And it reads like a tragic story.
Typically in a proxy filing for a shareholder vote on the merger, the "background" section includes some cursory relevant events and then a blow-by-blow on the discussions that happened after the board agreed to talk about a deal.
For Clearwire, it starts at the very founding of the company in November 2008. And it doesn't take long for things to sour.
It was September 2010 when the company's board decided to start exploring strategic alternatives, the filing says, and Clearwire spends practically the entire next two years working on any deal combination it could dream up. An awful lot of potential partners walk away. Often.
That includes Sprint, a relationship that seems a bit tortured in the filing. The two engaged in talks in the early fall of 2010 but Sprint backed away, the filing says.

OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler Review
Being a car guy, one of the first things that happens when getting a car is putting your "mark" on it by personalizing it in some way. Not one to go for "all show and no go," performance was usually top on the list. Top of the list is to get the engine breathing better to free up some ponies, so IHE (Intake, Header, and Exhaust) was usually the most practical bang for your buck. Sure it may have some primer spots on it, but it'll smoke your blingin', neon lit, speaker on wheels at the quarter mile. The easiest way to put your "mark" on your PC and increase performance is swapping out the stock cooler for an aftermarket one to get your CPU breathing better and free up some extra MHz. Just as with automotive aftermarket, the PC cooling aftermarket is flooded with cooling solutions ranging from mild to wild depending on your tastes and budget. Finding the best performance to price ratio is key.
The OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler is one of the many, many CPU coolers out there vying for your hard earned cash. With heat pipes being the "new black" these days due to excellent performance returns, OCZ uses a new twist on a heat pipe and fin design by Xigmatek and tries to increase performance. Most heat pipe coolers use a solid base, while the heat pipes on the OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler come in direct contact with the CPU.
Closer Look:
The OCZ Vendetta CPU Cooler comes packaged in a rather large silver and blue box with a window on the front showing the 92mm fan. The sides detail the Key Features as well as Specifications and Features. The back has a shot of the Vendetta in all its aluminum finned and heat pipe glory.

Skakel a step closer to freedom
VERNON -- Michael Skakel is one step closer to freedom while he awaits a new trial in the 1975 Greenwich murder of Martha Moxley.
On Wednesday, state Superior Court Judge Thomas Bishop lifted a stay he had imposed on Skakel, nephew of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy, after overturning his conviction in Moxley's murder.
The judge's decision allows Skakel to seek bail in the Stamford-Norwalk Superior Court. Under court rules, the prosecution has 10 days to challenge Bishop's ruling on grounds that he abused his authority.
Deputy Chief State's Attorney Leonard Boyle said no decision on the appeal has been made yet. As a result, Skakel will remain behind bars for the time being.
Skakel appeared in court ruddy faced and wearing a gray suit and white shirt opened at the collar. He only spoke when the judge asked him if he was willing to waive his speedy-trial rights.
Under state law, a defendant has the right to be tried within a year of the charges being lodged. Bishop said he would only lift the stay if Skakel waived that right.
The judge questioned him under oath and asked if Skakel had sufficient time to discuss this with his lawyers, Hubert Santos and his daughter, Jessica.
"I have," Skakel replied.
The judge did a quick calculation and cited eight cases in which an appeal of a habeas ruling like the one here took an average of four years before a higher court rendered a decision.
Bishop then determined that it would not be in the public's interest to keep Skakel, who has spent 11 years behind bars, incarcerated further.
Based on his previous finding that Skakel was not given effective assistance by his defense lawyer, Bishop determined that the likelihood of the prosecution being successful on that appeal was slim.
"This was not a close case for this court," the judge said. "My sense is it will not be a very strong appeal."
The state is also appealing Bishop's ruling that overturned Skakel's conviction on the grounds that he had ineffective assistance of his defense lawyer, Michael "Mickey" Sherman, during the 2002 murder trial.
Skakel, 53, has been incarcerated since 2002. He is serving 20 years to life in prison after being accused of beating Moxley to death with a golf club in their Belle Haven neighborhood the night before Halloween. Both were 15 at the time.
Denied parole last fall, Skakel sued the state Department of Correction for unlawful imprisonment. He blamed his 2002 conviction on Sherman, petitioning for a new trial on the grounds that his lawyer was so distracted by fame and back taxes he owed the government that he left many stones unturned.
Bishop sided with Skakel in a 136-page ruling on Oct. 23, the timing of which has been difficult for Moxley's mother, Dorothy.
"(Wednesday) is the anniversary," Moxley said from her home in Summit, N.J. "It just makes it hurt all the more."
Characterizing Skakel as representing a low risk of flight who is not a threat to the Moxley family, lawyers for the Kennedy kin contend that bond should be no greater than $500,000 for their client.
Bishop also stated concern for the Moxley family, noting that they have lived through this situation since 1978.
"But the proceedings will go on whether I lift the stay or not," he said.
By lifting the stay and overturning the conviction, Bishop has made Skakel just a man accused of murder. If the state prosecutors do not challenge the lifting, or convince a higher court that Bishop abused his authority, Skakel's case will be returned to the Stamford-Norwalk Superior Court. There, Santos can ask a judge to set a reasonable bail.
Assistant State's Attorney Susann Gill unsuccessfully urged the judge to keep the stay in place.
She maintained that until a decision is rendered by a higher court on the state's appeal of Bishop's ruling that Skakel did not receive effective assistance by his lawyer, the defendant is still a convicted murderer. State law prohibits any bond for a convicted murderer.

Politics isn't so simple these days. We've got the Greens and the Libertarians and even the tea party. Here are 10 facts about third parties, independents, write-ins and other challenges to the two-party system:
1 Nevada is the only state that includes "none of the above" as a ballot option. But if "none" finishes No. 1, the second-highest vote-getter wins.
2 A high point for third parties was 1912, when Teddy Roosevelt tried to win a third term in the White House because he was disgruntled with his successor, William Howard Taft. Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party beat Taft but lost to Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt won 27 percent of the popular vote and got 88 electoral votes.
3 In 1967, the citizens of Picoaza, Ecuador, were treated to a series of advertisements with slogans such as "For Mayor: Honorable Pulvapies" and "Vote for any candidate, but if you want well-being and hygiene, vote for Pulvapies." The honorable Pulvapies was elected mayor by write-in votes, but could not take office. Why? Because Pulvapies was a foot powder.
4 For nearly seven years, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, was a registered member of the Alaskan Independence Party, which advocates that state residents be allowed to vote on seceding from the United States.
5 Socialist Party presidential candidate Eugene Debs finished third in 1920 with 913,664 votes — about 3.5 percent of those cast — even though he couldn't go on the campaign trail or even vote for himself. Debs had been thrown in prison because he protested against American involvement in World War I.
6 When President Richard Nixon visited communist China in 1972, right-wing California politician John G. Schmitz quipped: "I have no objection to President Nixon going to China. I just object to his coming back." Schmitz was the American Independent Party's 1972 presidential candidate, winning more than 1 million votes. Many more millions have heard of Schmitz's daughter, whom he nicknamed "Cake." She is Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher who was imprisoned for having sex with an underage pupil and married him upon her release.
7 By definition, the third-party route is an uphill battle. But for the crusading Victoria Claflin Woodhull, it was particularly daunting. Running as the Equal Rights Party presidential candidate in 1872, her most likely supporters — women — couldn't even vote.
8 Jesse Ventura, a former professional wrestler who shocked the political establishment in 1998 when he won the Minnesota gubernatorial race, may have been the first political candidate to launch his own action figure. One of his campaign ads featured two boys playing with custom-made Ventura action figures dressed in a suit. It didn't take long before the dolls were available for sale.
9 A third-party presidential candidate has never won a general election in Illinois — not even Rockford native Rep. John B. Anderson, who ran as an independent in 1980 against President Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Anderson, who won just 7 percent of the vote in his home state, had become considerably more liberal since first being elected to the U.S. House in 1960. Early in his career, he repeatedly pushed a constitutional amendment that would have recognized "the law and authority of Jesus Christ."
10 When H. Ross Perot announced on "Larry King Live" in February 1992 that he would run for president if supporters got him on the ballot in all 50 states, the most surprised person may have been his wife, Margot.

Paul Ostapuk thought a band of dark air extending across the western horizon looked a bit odd as his plane descended into Page, Ariz., but he had no way of knowing then just how odd it would turn out to be.
That's one of the few areas left in the country where the air is normally so clear you can see for 100 miles, and there had been no suggestion of an approaching storm in the weather report, so Ostapuk grew increasingly curious about the enormous cloud.
"It was pretty dramatic," says Ostapuk, a meteorologist and air quality specialist with Arizona's Salt River Project, the second largest producer of electricity in the state. The cloud, which he saw for the first time at around 4:30 p.m. on April 12, appeared to undulate, and within a couple of hours had spread across the entire sky.
Traveling Storm
The air was so thick with tiny particulates that it seemed as though the sun was setting prematurely, and astronomers at the Lowell Observatory in nearby Flagstaff would later report seeing rings around the sun, a clear indication that this was no ordinary cloud.
"My first impression was that there had been a volcanic eruption," says Ostapuk, but a quick review of news reports and other resources ruled that out.
And there were no wildfires or other possible sources in the area, so this was clearly a very strange beast.
Ostapuk turned to a NASA Web site with rich data available from a satellite launched less than five years ago. The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) provides continuous mapping of ozone and other aerosols, such as sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions, around the world.
He then backtracked the cloud, checking where it had been on each previous day.
And finally it hit him. It was clear that the dust he saw descending on Page had come from a massive storm so far away that it seems unthinkable it would have had such a dramatic impact in the small Arizona town.
The storm had occurred in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China. That's right folks — the Gobi Desert.
Six-Day Journey
The dust had been carried to high altitude by winds so fierce that airports had to be closed, and then transported 7,000 miles across the Gulf of Alaska, down through British Columbia and over the vast expanse of open land in this country known as the Colorado Plateau.
A high pressure system trapped it in the area, causing some of the particulates to drop down to the ground and turning the sky yellow.
It had taken six days for the gunk to move from Mongolia to Arizona, and it came from what Chinese officials were already calling the worst sand storm of the spring season. Winds had swept across lands that had been laid bare by overgrazing, kicking up enough dust to reduce visibility to near zero and making even ground transportation nearly impossible.
It is a problem that China has been struggling with for several years now. A similar storm in 1998 was blamed for 12 deaths, and the storms appear to be increasing in frequency.
Clouds of dust from storms in China frequently blanket Korea and Japan, adding new fuel to centuries-old disputes between those three countries. A Korean research report described the fallout from the most recent storm as "yellow dust," and said it contained 16 times more "metallic substances" than your ordinary dust storm, contributing to respiratory illnesses.
Ostapuk didn't find that conclusion too far-fetched.
"It has the potential to cause respiratory problems, if you're sensitive to fine particulates," he says. "It effected me a little bit."
Choking on Sand
Long range transport of dust is not a new problem. Occasionally, dust storms in Africa's Sahara Desert reach Florida, and it's not altogether a bad thing. Dust from those storms transport many nutrients, including iron, enriching soils in one area of the Earth at the expense of another.
And of course we all know these days about what dust did to the dinosaurs. Most scientists now believe that dust from the impact of the Earth with a giant meteor or asteroid blackened the sky so intensely and for so long that food resources around the globe died out, killing off the dinos.
No one is suggesting that the dust storms in Mongolia pose any such threat. At this point it is more a matter of intense scientific interest than anything else. NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration are all intensifying their research in the area.
It turns out the timing is ideal. A team of American researchers is already in Asia studying aerosol particles and their effect on Earth's climate, and a second dust storm has kicked up enough stuff to give them much to ponder.
On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported the second storm was already looming over Colorado. If it holds together, the dusty system is expected to reach the East Coast by Saturday.
As for the cloud that darkened the normally pristine skies of northern Arizona, it eventually moved on, according to NOAA.
By April 19, it had reached the East Coast, stretching from Hudson Bay to Northern Florida, and then it moved on out to sea.
What did it leave behind? Some dust, and some marveling over the complexity of a planet that just seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

Awhile back I did a drawing of possible idea for the Camaros.org and thought I would share it. I like the look of the font chevrolet used.The .ORG seemed to stand out more in a different font. George

TAMPA | HIV infections are rising more rapidly among young gay and bisexual males than any other group, the latest figures show. Now University of South Florida researchers are joining a national study to learn how well a new daily pill may protect this high-risk population.
TAMPA | HIV infections are rising more rapidly among young gay and bisexual males than any other group, the latest figures show. Now University of South Florida researchers are joining a national study to learn how well a new daily pill may protect this high-risk population.
From Tampa to San Francisco, 14 communities are involved in the youth trial of Truvada, which received federal approval in July as an HIV preventive drug. But earlier trials on its effectiveness and safety didn't include sufficient numbers of younger males who have gay sex.
This month , the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that new HIV infections rose 22 percent among 13- to 24-year-old males who have sex with other males. That's the only group to show a significant increase between 2008 and 2010, the most recent data available. Young black males are particularly affected.
Reversing this trend is critical to addressing the nation's rate of newly acquired HIV infections, which has remained stubbornly steady even as treatment advances have helped many with the disease to live far longer. According to the CDC, about 50,000 new cases have been reported annually for the past decade.
"If we could curb HIV in this population, we could really get a handle on the epidemic," said Dr. Diane Straub, chief of the division of adolescent medicine at USF, the principal local investigator for the trial. " We would love to get rid of HIV, but we are not going to be able to do that unless we have multiple weapons to attack it," she added.
But using Truvada as a preventive measure for healthy people remains controversial — and expensive, with a daily dose costing as much as $14,000 per year.
The drug contains two antiretroviral medications that have been used for years in people infected with HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus that without treatment almost always develops into AIDS.
Truvada helps prevent HIV from establishing itself and multiplying in the body. This summer, federal regulators approved Truvada for preventive use — in combination with condoms and safer sex measures — after studies showed it significantly reduced the risk of new HIV infection.
A trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, involving 2,500 healthy gay and bisexual men, showed that daily use of Truvada helped reduce the risk of HIV infection by more than 40 percent. The pill was even more effective among people who consistently took it every day, as proved by blood tests.
In another study, Truvada reduced the risk of HIV infection by 75 percent among 4,800 heterosexual couples in which one partner was HIV positive and the other was not.
The drug's power is encouraging, but the protection it offers is not perfect — particularly if not taken daily — which is why people who take the drug still must practice safe sex.
Many within the HIV-AIDS community thought the approval of Truvada for prevention was premature, said William Harper, executive director of the AIDS Service Association of Pinellas Inc., or ASAP, an affiliate of Suncoast Hospice.
"What we're afraid of at this point is people will have unprotected sex," he said. "They will think that they can pop a pill and they will think it's all good."
Harper is pleased that more research is being conducted, especially among younger males. In this population, he is especially concerned about maturity issues — whether young people will take the drug regularly, and how a prevention pill may change their sexual behavior.
These are among the questions that researchers hope to answer with a national study involving hundreds of young men who have sex with other men. These 18- to 22-year-old study participants could identify themselves as homosexual and bisexual, or even consider themselves primarily heterosexual, but also engage in gay sex.
USF will begin recruiting 25 participants in January at its new Ybor Youth Clinic, which serves at-risk young people.
"We need to prove the science," Straub said. "We are looking to see if it's feasible for a young person to take a medication as (prevention), if it's safe, and if it changes their behavior."
Truvada's rare but serious side effects include kidney problems and loss of bone density, which could be especially concerning in healthy youths.
The study, called Project PrEPare (which stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), will examine the use of Truvada within a broad HIV-prevention strategy. Participants will also receive free condoms, safe-sex counseling and monthly HIV testing.
Researchers will monitor the blood work of participants for evidence of side effects and will administer two bone-density scans over the yearlong study. The young men involved will be paid for their time.
If any become HIV-infected, or develop health issues that may be related to Truvada, they may be monitored for a second year.
Straub noted that the at-risk youth targeted often lack emotional and financial support at home and in the community.
"This is such a marginalized group of people. I'm really excited to be able to provide something that actually helps them," Straub said.
"For many years, (HIV prevention efforts) just tried to decrease behavioral risk, and that has not shown to be sufficient."

Maple Street Commerce, the developer that owns the Hoover District, has obtained the $5 million state historic preservation tax credit it sought to help pay for it to develop much of the shuttered Hoover Co. plant.
The developers of the Hoover District will get a $5 million Ohio Historic Preservation tax credit to develop about 130 apartments, offices, retail space and covered parking at the former Hoover Co. plant.
The Ohio Development Services Agency announced Friday that it had chosen Maple Street Commerce as one of the 31 recipients in 10 communities to receive $33 million in tax credits. Maple Street Commerce got the maximum allowed by law, which is equal to nearly 10 percent of the expected total renovation costs of $51.62 million.
"I can't begin to tell you about how positive that is," said Eric Bowles, the North Canton economic development director. "What it does is lower the developer's costs to redevelop the property and it makes it more economically viable."
Peter Goffstein, an executive who works for one of Maple Street Commerce's developers, Stuart Lichter, said last month that construction will start this spring and is expected to be completed by 2015.
The National Register of Historic Places in July officially listed the Hoover District as a historic location, agreeing that it is "associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history."
The listing allowed Maple Street to compete for the state tax credit. It may also allow Maple Street to get a federal tax credit equal to 20 percent of the rehabilitation costs, a preservation consultant working on behalf of Maple Street said in March.
Since 2008, Maple Street Commerce also has received about $4 million from a $5 million state Job Ready Sites grant obtained by North Canton to renovate Hoover's Building 16 on E. Maple Street and fund parking lot upgrades.
After the renovations were completed, The Schroer Group moved its headquarters and at least 240 employees into the building's first floor in 2010. The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation has signed a lease for 35,000 square feet on the second floor and plans to move 110 employees to that space from its current Canton office around June.
The Ohio Development Services Agency spokeswoman Stephanie Gostomski said the agency accepts applications for the tax credits twice a year and distributes about $60 million in credits a year for historic preservation that sparks economic development. The program has existed since 2007.
Gostomski said once Maple Street incurs all the qualified costs for the project and the agency verifies they're valid, it will issue the company tax credits that it can use to offset its state taxes.
She said of the $33 million in tax credits announced Friday, applicants sought $90 million. An agency committee chose the recipients after considering factors like economic impact of the rehabilitation. The agency requires that applicants have their properties listed with The National Register of Historic Places.

Ron Guth:
The 1883-CC $1 is one of the most common dates issued by the Carson City Mint. Large quantities of full bags of $1,000 face value appeared in the 1960s in U.S. Treasury vaults, accounting for most of the known population. These were distribued in the late 1970s and early 1980s by the General Services Administration, which sold individual coins to dealers and collectors. Today, they are extremely common and can be found with ease in all Mint State grades up to MS67+. The most frequently-seen grade is MS64, where PCGS alone has certified over 15,000 examples (as of July 2015). In general, coins of this date show strong strikes and deep, frosty luster.
Prooflike and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are scarce and represent about one-seventh of the total population. Both appear to be of similar rarity. Gems are readily available in these formats, too, but they are usually more expensive because of their distinctive appearance.

Do your kids love pancakes? My entire family loves pancakes and they especially get a kick out of some surprise shapes when I serve them. These little star pancakes were a hit and they are fun and easy to make. You can choose one of two methods to make the stars. Either pour pancake batter into plastic squeeze bottles with a tip and pour out your shapes as you make them. Or first make the pancakes and cut out with a star cookie cutter.
We served out star pancakes with strawberries that we also cut into stars. For a real red, white and blue breakfast, add a few blueberries. Perfect for the 4th of July, especially if you have guests for the holiday.

text: Hello everyone Today I tried setting up a MX backup server running ISPConfig. I just created a regular "ISPConfig mailserver" and configured the mail transport according to posts found in the forums here, as well as relay access. However I don't get the point on how to configure the DNS. I have MX 1 with Prio. 10 and MX 2 with Prio. 20 as well as a CNAME mail.domain.tld pointing to MX 1. Sending mails through MX 1 FQDN or CNAME works well. Sending through domain.tld (without mail CNAME) doesn't work (no SMTP server found). So MX 2 doesn't work at all. Is their something I have to do with the DNS? Normally, it should work sending mails "to" domain.tld as it's suposed to lookup the MX records, or do I miss understand this? Thanks for your help!

Topic: My Seven-Year Landmark, a couple weeks later
Member # 394
October 11, 2006
I know I said in
this thread
that I'd post a landmark-type commemoration that weekend, because I was too busy to do so at that moment. As it turns out, I was busy for a little bit longer than that.
I figure the best way to approach this landmark post is to fill y'all in on what I've been doing that's kept me so busy, which will quickly devolve into story-time (I've been thinking about this for quite a while, in case you couldn't tell...).
I think I mentioned that I was studying for my comprehensive exams (hereafter "comps") when I posted on the 26th - which is a completely true statement. No, wait. Let me back up a bit. I am currently in a Masters' program in Classical Philology at the University of Arizona, and I think this is the terminal MA program with the most hurdles for a graduate student to jump. Most programs only require exams or a thesis - we have to do both. And lots of exams. I passed my Modern and Ancient language qualifiers last year, and so evidently I was then "qualified" to take my comps. The comps cover pretty much everything - Greek lit, Roman lit and a thousand years of Greek and Roman history (three exams). These exams normally take place during the sixth week of the semester - or the 27-29 of September. Because of these exams, I was essentially living at the library, reading old dusty tomes which no one had touched for ages. I do mean that literally, as the amount of dust I had to brush off the tops of some of those books was ridiculous. I started hauling my computer everywhere so I'd have access to my articles and outlines while I was not at home, and I essentially avoided human contact for the three weeks immediately before the exams. Oh, and I had to perform in my regularly-scheduled classes as well.
It was during this stressful time that I often asked myself why, exactly, I was doing the whole grad school thing. I came up with a couple reasons, the first of which being my first high school guidance counselor. I think I told this story before, but it bears repeating in this context. I took the PSATs as a sophomore (as a sophomore, they don't count for National Merit Scholarships; it's more like a practice), and scored a 198. The results had to be picked up from the guidance counselors, so that they could "keep watch" and "guide" their students, and so that the students would actually have to meet with their guidance counselors. Mine (I forget his name) was an older man, probably late 50s (though I've put him far out of my memory), and very old-fashioned. He took a look at my score and said, "This is a pretty good score. I don't know what you plan on
with it, since women have no place in higher education, but good job anyway." This is stuck in my craw for the longest time - all through the rest of high school, my undergrad and up through to now. I've wanted to prove this beast of a man wrong, even if he'll never know my accomplishments. I'm more afraid that this mindset is common to older guidance counselors, and I really want to demonstrate that they're
The other reason I'm here is my paternal grandfather. He passed away some years ago, well before I started my college, IIRC. I was the eldest grandchild on that side (eldest daughter of the eldest son), so Grandpa and I bonded quite well. While it wasn't him who got me interested in the Classics (I rest the blame solely on my maternal grandmother), it was Grandpa who gave me the drive - and the plan. Grandpa was a yearly contributor to the US Olympic team, something like $20 a year, and they would send pins and bumper stickers and all sorts of random (cheap) paraphernalia. Grandpa had no use for such things, and gave them to me (my favourite item is still the "Support the 1980 US Summer Olympic Team" bumper sticker). When we discovered that the 2004 Olympics would be in Athens, we counted the years and figured that that would be my junior year of college and the perfect time to study abroad - in Athens, of course. It was later that year that he gave me my own stamp collecting kit, so as to serve as a foil for his own. He was instrumental in my college decision, mostly because he helped my parents brainwash me into the Wisconsin cult. It was, however, in the post-undergrad decision that he left the most lasting effect. He encouraged me to dream. He was the one who (finally) convinced me that the world is, in fact, my oyster and I can do whatever I want. He encouraged me to think outside the borders of the US, to consider world travel and study - primarily through the souvenirs he and Grandma brought back from their many travels, but also in several heart-to-heart conversations over a game of dominoes. He gave me the desire to live in and learn from the world.
I think those two men, different though they may have been, are the primary reasons why I'm even bothering to attempt this whole "graduate school" thing. Why I chose this subject matter is a different story altogether, but those comps made me question my base motivations for why I wanted to keep going with school at all and not just get a job or pursue a path that would actually earn money, such as law or drug trafficking. Now that I think about it, perhaps that is the purpose of these ridiculous comps - not to make sure that the student knows everything about everything, but to make the student question their motivations and actually conclude that s/he
to be studying Classics and
to be in a rigorous program and can handle it. Even if that's not any sort of purpose for the exams, that's what I got out of the experience.
The mention of law as a possible career choice brings me to my next aetiology (to use a word with which I have become
familiar...): why I'm doing Classics, of all things. I pondered this while agonizing over the return of my exam scores - and realizing that my checkbook balance was approaching a very low number way too fast. Why was I not doing something that would actually earn money? Obviously, I love everything ancient Greek, but I had to wonder if that couldn't be an affectation, or if it could be applied somewhere else. I had to confront this question a few years ago, when I was in the process of giving up a Math major to become a Classics major in my undergrad. My father thought that I should maintain the math as a "marketable skill," and that nothing could ever come from an undergrad degree in Classics, except a very narrow road that very few people can walk. I suppose I can blame my father, then, for my obstinate clinging to Classics as my career path. Fitting, really, as it was his father who convinced me to
to grad school in the first place.
Why did I love Classics so much that I gave up something more "marketable"? As I mentioned above, it was my maternal grandmother. When I was eight, she sent along one of those Reader's Digest books - those fancy ones with the semi-accurate and over-stylized information and pretty, glossy pictures. This one was
Greece and Rome
, and it caught my attention immediately. I stole the book and pored over it for days on end. I tried to learn everything in it, from the Greek alphabet to the dramatized details of Alexander's campaign in Egypt to the life and times of Caesar Augustus. I kept that book for years, opening it up and entering a whole other world, long dead, but rich in ideas and imagination. I think I most appreciated how gosh darn
those ancient guys were. I never got to learn any sort of mythology in school, excepting the one failed attempt to read a paraphrased prose translation of a selection of the
in ninth grade. When I got to college and suddenly had the opportunity to explore the worlds that had for so long been only in that one book, I had to take the chance. When I realized I really loved these worlds, I became part of their tradition and permanently left behind all my other options. I joke around these days and say that if this whole "Classics thing" doesn't work out, I'll fall back on either being a sportswriter or a lawyer - but the truth of the matter is, I can't imagine being anything else but a Classicist. As much as I love football, there's a finite limit to it. Classics is, quite literally, infinite.
The past week and half, the time between taking the comps and receiving the results, was one of clarification for me - and, well, of midterms, but we'll leave that aside (stupid Lucretius!). I realized that I really love where I am right now (inasmuch as education and planning for the future - I
living in a desert!) - and that I wouldn't trade it for the world. When I got my results last night, it was validation. While I only high passed (got over a 90%) on one of my three exams, I passed all of them and became the only philology student in the department to be ready to write a thesis. In one of the greatest of all ironies, the exam I high-passed was my Roman literature one. The irony is that I only started doing Latin two years ago.
Oh, and I really dislike the language. I blame Menander for my not high-passing my Greek one.
So that's where I am right now: ready to write my thesis next semester... and ready to apply to PhD programs within the next month. I suppose that'll be a nerve-wracking time for me as well, but I already know what my writing sample is going to be and I've got my (sparse) CV mostly worked-out and ready to go, and I can get professors to write letters of recommendation for me, so the actual process won't be that difficult. I hope. To be perfectly honest, I'm just glad to have moved out of the library and to have started interacting with other people - and friends! - again. Oh, and I'm really glad I now have time to watch football and do homework and watch "Battlestar Galactica" again.
Thanks for listening.

That was a fascinating read, Carrie. I think you are right about the purpose of comps.
Loved to read about your grandfather. And the thought of you clutching the book as a young'un --
-- congrats!

Amen to that.
It's awesome to read this. I'm starting my MA now, and it's very encouraging to hear someone's success story. I honestly can't imagine being anything but a medievalist. And so I shall be.

I'm a fan of Reggie Yates a BBC1 and Radio 1 presenter and have seen him challenge many stereotypes...if you can get bbc iplayer then it will be there for 7 days and it was called.... Reggie Yates' Extreme UK: Gay and Under Attack
Tonight it was about being gay in the U.K. and being coloured
In many Black communities there seemed to be two main groups. Those who are largely Afro Caribbean and the other being mostly of African origins
The African side seemed largely to be religious based and staunch by the book being gay is against god with the afro caribbean stance being mostly men are men and should be men and gays should be abused
In the largely asian communities most were muslim and strict enough to view largely to adopt the same stance as the Africans. It seemed through out the whole programme that being gay and coloured is quite a dangerous thing
Hardly any coloured gay men and women wanted to appear on camera because the consequences from and for their families. Their was a young asian gay man who said his mother had told him, if you had killed someone I could forgive you but you being gay I cannot forgive you,,,he felt he needed to leave home and did . The programme approached 200 mosques and asked for an iman to talk about islam and being gay...only 1 agreed and his view was pretty much as expected. The young man himself said he was brought up to view all white men as the enemy and gays should be thrown off a tall building and stoned. When asked how that view now sat with him being a gay muslim, he said that is what he was brought upto think.
In another part reggie met a gay afro caribbean at a "secret" dance hall that was for gay blacks and asians but most scattered like ants when they saw the camera coming through fear of being identified. He did actually chat to a black lesbian and was quite surprised by her views.
She said she has been raised in a way that said being gay was a white mans disease and gays should be trampled on and even though she herself was a lesbian, she found gay men together wrong, she explained being a lesbian she did see the irony but it is just how she was
towards the end there was a gay pride event in derbyshire, in total intially there was about 50-60 people there and only 3 people of colour and towards the end the young asian gay guy turned up and was asked by reggie...who is black by the way.... asked how he felt at his first pride and public event and he said he felt out of place among so many white people.
The longer he was there you could see he was integrating more and towards the end he said I've made some good friends and will keep in touch and was asked how he felt now at which point he said yeah okay ...it was pointed out again about so few coloured people openly identifying as gay and he said, I think white people are just more open minded and understanding about being gay
Anyway if it is something your interested in and can get uk tv on catch up on the bbc, then you might want to watch it
I knew it was tough for coloured people to come out as gay but I had never really seen the communities show their dislike of gay men and women before or so many hide being gay
It seems there is a long way for the coloured communities to go to be accepting of their own children when they are gay.
Gay and coloured in the U.K.?

Regarding the article on the zipper trucks and the HOV lane ("Inside the Southeast Expressway's yellow zipper truck," Jan. 11), when the HOV lane was introduced, a newspaper article indicated that the annual cost would be around $25 million. One can't imagine what the annual budget is today.
Now these special trucks have been replaced, and probably for good reason. However, there is a way to provide better service to the commuters and reduce costs.
First, make the HOV lane barriers permanent on both sides of the center strip. Then install gates at each end to direct traffic into and out of the lanes. This concept would require one person and one car to travel each HOV lane two times a day to move the gates.
In addition, the time to make the switch would be reduced. Also, if there was an abnormal increase in traffic in either direction, an additional trip to change the gates could be made on a moment's notice. Costs would be reduced as well.

Debate: Obama's First 100 Days (13 of 13)
Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of "The Nation," and Rich Lowry, editor of "National Review," debated the first 100 days of the Obama presidency at an event hosted by Grand Valley State University's Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies.There's no question that President Barack Obama's is a historic presidency at a critical moment. On the bicentennial year of the Great Emancipator's birth, the first African-American president took the oath of office with his hand on Lincoln's bible. President Obama came to the White House in the midst of the worst economic crisis in sixty years, with two ongoing wars and urgent pressure to restructure enormous federal social programs, significantly reform health care and education, and combat global climate change. If a president needs to face great challenges and crises to be counted among America's pantheon of political heroes, Barack Obama has an opportunity to earn his place.But is President Obama up to the challenge? To this point, has he handled well the economic downturn? Has he been a successful commander-in-chief? Has he kept his promises to change politics in Washington, and to meet—head on—the many needed reforms that presidents have only talked about for decades? These are among the questions vanden Heuvel and Lowry will debate on April 2, seventy days into the 44th president's term.Katrina vanden Heuvel (Read full bio) one of the nation's leading liberal commentators today, is editor, publisher, and part-owner of The Nation—a weekly magazine and flagship of the Left. She is editor of a half-dozen books, and author of Meltdown: How Greed and Corruption Shattered Our Financial System and How We Can Recover (2009). She is a frequent commentator on MSNBC, CNN, and PBS, and her award-winning articles have appeared in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Boston Globe. Vanden Heuvel is a member of The Council on Foreign Relations, and she also serves on the board of The Institute for Women's Policy Research, The Institute for Policy Studies, and The Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute.Richard Lowry (read full bio) has been called today's "edgy voice of fresh-faced conservatism." He is editor of National Review—America's most widely read and influential conservative magazine. Lowry is author of the New York Times bestseller, Legacy: Paying the Price for the Clinton Years (2003). He has written for the New York Times, Reader's Digest, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Wall Street Journal. An outspoken conservative, he is a syndicated columnist and he serves as guest commentator on CNN, MSNBC, The McLaughlin Group, and Fox News—where he has guest-hosted "Hannity and Colmes" and "Fox & Friends."

The insight and knowledge I gained through my internship continues to be extremely beneficial working now at Make-A-Wish Arizona as the external events coordinator."

"Interning at Make-A-Wish was a dream come true. To align myself with an organization with such a powerful, clear mission while gaining real work experience, it's something many people struggle their whole careers to find. Real work. Real passion."
- Jamie Sandys, Marketing Intern (Spring 2012)
"As senior at the University of Arizona, I was able to expand my experience in two fields that I had lots of interest. As a team member of both the Marketing and Creative Services teams I was able to immerse myself into two very diverse and evolving departments. I think that my time as an intern at the National Headquarters helped build the foundation on which I have built my career. I now have the privilege of working at one of the best b2b integrated-marketing agencies in Chicago. With the background experience working on lots of moving projects, tapping my creative juices, activating campaigns and working with two highly integrated teams, I was able to begin my job search with confidence, landing my dream job after graduation. Not to mention, the connections I made during my internship are still people that I keep in touch with today. It is more than an internship; it is an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself."

In the hours after David Petraeus' cheating scandal broke on Friday afternoon, a Jan. 25th appearance made by his biographer and alleged mistress Paula Broadwell on "The Daily Show" quickly began making the rounds online. Viewed with the benefit of hindsight, Broadwell's gushing interview is full of inneuendo: She praises the retired general's energy, talks about his speedy recovery after a pelvis injury and even suggests that he can "turn water into bottled water."
But no, in case you were wondering, Jon Stewart had no idea anything was up. In fact, he was mostly just distracted by Broadwell's toned physique. "The whole time I was just thinking how defined her arms were and trying to think of another version one of my classic I'm-an-asthmatic-old-Jew joke," he said. "I'm the worst journalist in the world. For God's sake the title of her book was 'All In.'"
After scrutinizing himself, Stewart turned his critical gaze to pundits who've rushed to find a link – any link – between the Petraeus scandal and the Obama administration. As for the suggestion that the administration held back the news about the affair in order to boost Obama's re-election chances, Stewart pointed to the fact that Rep. Eric Cantor, the Republican House Majority Leader, reportedly knew about the relationship in October -- weeks before the president.
