Our Silly Girl
So, I found these pics of Addie today and I thought they were cute and that I should share them. There's a couple of her with a swimsuit I saw and had to buy for her. She tried it on and was prancing all over the house. The other pictures Laura took one day of Addie making her usual faces.

Crappy Days in Paradise
So, I don't know how we made it to dinner that night but we managed. Our server must have thought we were crazy that first night. The food was phenomenal. We really enjoyed the dining room. My mom was smart, having cruised before, and she planned our rooms very carefully. She wanted us all in deck rooms so she took a look at the floor plan and put me and Derek next to her, but in the middle of us were the elevators and the service area so our decks were huge and we spent a lot of time on them. There was a wall in between our decks but we had them opened and then locked open so we could use both decks. Our rooms and the decks were just perfect. On the way down to Mexico we had the sun in the morning and then on the way back when we were just relaxing and hanging out on the deck a lot it was sunny on our side in the afternoon. So we got to hang out on the deck at sunset which was just amazing.
On our second night at sea they had a formal night. There was always a dress code for the dining room but this night everyone was supposed to dress up. Since we very rarely have the opportunity to dress up it was a lot of fun to get all gussied up for dinner.ACAPULCO
So, our cruise stopped in Acapulco, Zihuatenejo/Ixtapa and in Manzanillo. So, I'll start with Acapulco. My mom had done some research for a previous cruise and found that the easiest way to see thw city was in a van, so we hired ourselves a tour guide for the day. Our tour guide's name was Michael. He drove us all over Acapulco, starting with the cliff divers. The dive show was not at all like I was expecting. The divers throw themselves off the side of a cliff into this tiny little inlet. It was crazy. Then we were off to explore Acapulco. The driver was very excited to show us how to vacation in Acapulco. He showed us many hotels and shopping areas. He also took us to the Flamingo Hotel where the guy who played Tarzan used to spend a lot of time and eventually even died there of old age I think. Then after some exploring and a little bit of overpriced shopping we headed off to Senor Frogs. We had a blast at Senor Frogs. We drank too many margaritas and the waiters brought shots to my parents for their anniversary. We sat eating drinking and watched the sun set over the city. It was beautiful. After the day was over our driver took us back to the ship but we still had a couple of hours left. Everyone was ready to call it a night but Derek, Kaleah and I still wanted to do a little adventuring and shopping so we didn't go right back to the ship. We walked on the beach, did some shopping and found a little bar to drink some margaritas at. It was great being grownups and being able to just wander around on our own. When we got back on the ship they had a midnight buffet for those of us that had too much to drink and needed some food in our bellies. It was a great day.
Zihuatanejo was our only port that did not have a dock for us. So, we had to tender...basically the ship parked in the middle of this little bay and they used some of the life boats to take us back and forth to a smaller dock. It was kinda fun.
Zihuatanejo was the total picturesque little Mexican village. We could just walk down the little streets, which we did and did not feel like you were going to get run over by anything. We went on a fiesta tour. Well, all of us but Derek. I'll get to him in a minute. The fiesta tour is basically an entertaining 1/2 mile walk. It started with everyone receiving a clay shot glass to put around their neck with the instruction to just raise your hand anytime you wanted it filled. So, at about 10AM we started raising our hands for shots of mezcal. It was cheap mezcal but it was all good. First they put on a little show with a paper mache bull (see the pictures so that I don't have to explain it) and I got to be one of those bull people that hold up a flag to get the bull's attention. It was sill and fun. Then we walked a little bit until we came to a guy who did a lasso show. After the show we walked through the village to a little restaurant for great food and some great entertainment. They had a 15 types of tamales. They had to be the best tamales I have ever had. The show was great. It was traditional dancing from different areas of Mexico and a lot of drinking. At the end they asked for volunteers. Kaleah's elbow was on the table, so being the nice cousin that I am I grabbed her elbow and raised her hand in the air. They called on her. Haha!! So they made her do a shot of tequila and yell. It was hilarious. Then they proceded to give her lots of kisses. It was great. After the tour we went shopping for a bit and the sat on the waterfront to eat Guacamole and drink margaritas. Alisha, Kaleah and I walked down to the beach and got our feet wet. Since the bottoms of my pants got wet I decided to just say screw it and started playing in the water. It was awesome. Derek finally found us soon after that. He had gone on a scubadiving trip. It sounds like it was a great couple of dives and he had a really good time, although he was jealous that he didn't get any tamales.
We were told that Manzanillo was not a town to see without a tour. None of us were really feeling an actual tour so instead we went on an ATV adventure. It was me, Derek, Alisha, Kaleah and my dad. It was called a jungle beach adventure. So we were picked up in a bus and taken to the ATV place. I'd never really ridden on an ATV so this was a new experience for me. We had to drive ourselves over a mountain to get to the beach with a little jungle detour. It was a lot of fun and we all got dirty and hot. When we got to port in Manzanillo we understood why we needed a tour to see the town. We docked in an industrial area and not in the middle of a town. Not some place you just go wandering around. My parents had already been so they knew where to go after the ATV excursion. So we all went into town to do some final shopping for vanilla and tequila. This town was not like the other towns. It was not really set up for tourists. So we did some shopping and then headed back to the ship. Once we got back to the ship I looked at Manzanillo from the other side of the boat and saw that it was actually a pretty little town in some areas. There was a beautiful sunset as we set back off to sea.
On one of our days at sea they had a walk for breast cancer. It was a mile long on the top deck. To make the walk great that was the only time that anyone saw whatels on the ship. Kaleah saw some tails while the rest of us saw some spouts and whale humps. We saw some a little later from our deck. I happened to be talking to Ethan at the time so he got all excited too.
Overall our trip was wonderful. We had a wonderful time and were sad to come back to Washington. If we could have stayed in California or Mexico longer so that we could soak up more sun I think we would have. It is amazing how great the sunshine makes you feel. I hope all of you get a chance to go on a cruise. I hope you enjoy all of our pictures.

text: I had a good chuckle in reading People StyleWatch's latest interview with Thandie where she talks about welcoming foot blisters that come from wearing new shoes. She reasons that the callus from her blisters harden the skin, allowing her to wear the shoes again more comfortably the next time. As she puts it, "I always welcome the blister — it's like the labor for birth." She goes on to say that she usually holds two pairs of shoes for her husband to choose and he always goes with the ones that are least likely to cause blisters. Then, she cheekily always goes for the opposite pair. You can read the full article at People StyleWatch

Read Reviews of Todd's Services
"We started with an idea...
and the whole Todd's team (sales and install) bought in and helped make it happen!"
★★★★★ - Gary, Plymouth
"From sales to completion this was handled with care and professionalism...
The salesman arranged without being asked for mulch to match existing landscaping. The manager who selected the trees found us top of the line. The installation crew was particularly skilled and placed extra focus on such detail so as not to disturb any surrounding lawn making it look as though the trees have been in place for years. Some written care instructions at the time of planting would have been more helpful. Good to have a company that will answer any questions, follow-up and tweak if it becomes necessary."
★★★★★ - Dave, Pinckney
"Fast and professional service....
Fast and professional service."
★★★★★ - Steven, Ann Arbor
"Todd's performed the landscape services on time and completed all items on my list...
I'll have to wait and see about how the "restored" lawn looks once the growth has been established. If the restoration is noticeably significant, then I can say that I am very happy with the service."
★★★★★ - Jeremiah and Clare, Ann Arbor
"Your crew did a great job...
on my landscape cleanup and mulching. Everything looks great!"
★★★★★ - Econoprint, Pinckney
"Very pleased with the replacement of portions of our landscape and the installation of the sprinklers...
The crew did an excellent job of minimizing damage to the lawn and thoroughly cleaned up at the end of the day. There appears that one line of the sprinklers into the back garden bed was not installed as I read the diagram; however, I'll contact Tom regarding this to determine whether or not I'm reading his diagram correctly."
★★★★★ - Michael , Ann Arbor

The strange surge of celebrity-dictator friendships isn't going unremarked. From athletes to pop artists, American icons are playing nice with controversial world leaders. Celebrities, such as Dennis Rodman, who claim they intend to mend ties between troubled countries and the US may have a needed role in our foreign affairs – but it's fairly improbable. More often than not, it turns out these celebrities are just accepting gigs for cash – and exposing their own naivety.
And that's the point: A-list celebrities who have made names for themselves within the human rights arena should be careful who they're spending time with when attempting freelance diplomacy. Americans are watching them.
1. Kanye West
The American hip-hop artist pocketed an estimated $3m last weekend for his performance at the wedding reception of Aisultan Nazarbayev, grandson of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Over Nazarbayev's 23-year reign, the dictator has been accused by human rights organisations of violent attacks on demonstrators and crackdowns on independent media outlets, torture and violation of worker's rights, among other offences. West has been rightly criticised by human rights groups for his recent association with Nazarbayev. Garry Kasparov, chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, said:
The millions of dollars paid to West came from the loot stolen from the Kazakhstan treasury. West has supported numerous charities throughout his career, including a few specifically focused on international human rights work. Kanye has entertained a brutal killer and his entourage … It's up to the public to hold [him] accountable.
2. Jennifer Lopez
The A-list celebrity accepted a paid gig from the China National Petroleum Corp earlier this summer, at which she sang "Happy Birthday, Mister President" to 56-year-old dictator Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, the president of Turkmenistan. Lopez later apologised for the performance, claiming she didn't know of Berdymukhamedov's human rights abuses.
Business decisions aside, shame on Lopez – and her team – for failing to educate herself on the history of a country in which she was planning to perform. Human Rights Watch has called Turkmenistan (and Uzbekistan) one of "the most repressive [countries] in the world".
3. Dennis Rodman
The NBA star has famously befriended North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Rodman met Kim during his basketball diplomacy trip for HBO's Vice news program this year. He embarked on his second trip to North Korea this week in what is speculated to be an attempt to negotiate the release of jailed US citizen Kenneth Bae. Rodman said via CNN.com:
I will definitely ask for Kenneth Bae's release. I will say, 'Marshal, why is this guy held hostage?' I could try and soften it up in that way … If the Marshal says, 'Dennis, you know, do you want me to let him loose?' and then if I actually got him loose – and I'm just saying this out the blue – I'd be the most powerful guy in the world.
However, rather than seeing his relationship with Kim as a human rights problem in itself, the athlete told Sports Illustrated magazine that he should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. He'd be on firmer ground if he'd got Bae released first.
But these three aren't the first to associate with foreign dictators. Remember Nelly Furtado and the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi; Beyonce and Gaddafi; Mariah Carey and Gaddafi. Then, there was Hilary Swank and Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov. Some celebrities have apologised. Some have donated their dictator-provided fee to charity.
Whatever the reason for forging relationships with notorious autocrats, notables like West, Lopez and Rodman should be under no illusion that their affiliations with these dictators will patch up whatever tensions there are between these countries' leaders and the United States. Not even Michael Jackson was successful at that. Despite his freshly-forged friendship with Bahrain's Prince Abdullah al-Khalifa, Abdullah sued Jackson in a London high court for $7m, claiming the King of Pop had promised to record two albums.
For those who have been victimised by these leaders, celebrities' dealings with dictators comes as a slap in the face. West should be aware that Kazakhstan police fired on striking oil workers in 2011, killing 12 and injuring dozens. Lopez should note that two Turkish singers Murad Ovezov and Maksat Kakabaev were imprisoned that same year – almost certainly as retribution for their music. And Rodman should know that he is buddying up with a country where more than 200,000 people, including children, are imprisoned and tortured in camps.
The only upside of the recent relations is that celebrities have inadvertently shed light on these leaders' human rights abuses. But that's a lame excuse. Maybe, next time their agents book them for an overseas gig, they should think to ask not just how big the fee is, but who's paying it.

When duty called, men from Limestone County, Alabama responded. The Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor, that's all they needed to know. Most of them farm boys and some of them sons of merchants, kissed pretty wives and sweethearts goodbye and boarded ships, turned green with the rolling seas and sailed for places with exotic-sounding names. Not a single one knew if he'd make the return trip….
These remembrances of World War II are excerpts from When Duty Called. They were a natural outgrowth of the reverence Barksdale held as a child for his Uncle James Burch, a WWII veteran:
"At my insistence, he would climb the ladder into the attic, open his dusty Army footlocker, and bring down his war relics for me to see. I remember a German Luger, bayonet, Hitler Youth dagger, a large Nazi banner and various medals. Uncle James used the dagger each fall when he butchered hogs. Of course I understood nothing of the cause, nor immensity of the war that consumed 50 million lives worldwide. I only knew that Uncle James was my hero. He still is today.
"He finally told me his story on the 50th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion. He told me he had served four years in the Navy, most of the time aboard the battleship U.S.S. Oklahoma, which later went down at Pearl Harbor. He was discharged from the Navy in 1940 and then drafted into the Army. He served in the Third Army under Gen. George S. Patton, who pinned him with the Bronze Star. I was hooked. I wrote his story and it was published in our local newspaper.

Rangers beat Caps 4-1 and the Two-Minutes Ovechkin Hate
Photo credit: Patrick McDermott
After a misstep on Long Island, the Washington Capitals hoped to regain their footing while hosting the New York Rangers on Sunday. After a quick start, the Caps lost control of the game. A snazzy goal by Steve Oleksy in the first period gave the Caps the lead, but the Rangers retaliated with four goals– two of them scored after penalties by Alex Ovechkin. Holtby was chased from the net, and the Caps never really mounted a palpable comeback.

cut nose off to spite face
cut (one's) nose off to spite (one's) face
To use self-destructive means in an attempt to solve a problem or fix a situation. I know you're mad at your dad, but don't cut your nose off to spite your face—running away is only going to make your life harder.
cut one's nose off to spite one's face
Prov. to hurt yourself in an attempt to hurt someone else. (Often in the form, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.") Isaac dropped out of school because he wanted to make his father angry; years later, he realized that he had cut off his nose to spite his face.

It was seven hours into a heated mediation between two businessmen, each of whom were prepared to engage in a self-destructive dissolution of their construction company. "I just don't get it!" the majority partner said. "The federal tax returns and audited financials clearly show the proposed buyout of your 35 percent share is more than equitable. And, after seven hours of negotiation, we are willing to pay a premium for your minority interest."
"What will make this deal work?" I asked.
The minority partner responded, "I will accept a cash settlement, but it must be based on the set of books he uses for himself and kept in his private safe, and not the set of books he uses to show his wife or his accountant."
This is a story I related to a seminar for the 2005 ABA Dispute Resolution Conference in Los Angeles, titled "Putting Some Good in Goodbyes."
Before I finished the story, my friend Rufus von thulen Rhoades, co-editor of the "Practitioner's Handbook on International Arbitration and Mediation," said, "It wouldn't be very smart of the majority partner or his attorney to acknowledge a second, or third, set of books. State confidentiality privileges do not stop one from reporting federal income tax fraud."
"Something about the Supremacy Clause," I muttered defensively. Louise LaMothe, a co-presenter and former chair of the ABA's Litigation Section agreed.
On Aug. 16, 2007, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Babasa v LensCrafters, 2007 DJDAR 12453, affirmed the 30- year-old precedent of Breed v U.S. Dist. Ct. for the N. Dist. Of Cal., 542 F. 2d 1114 (9th Cir. 1976), that when a question of federal law is at issue, "[s]tate law [as to privileges] may provide a useful referent, but it is not controlling."
This federal policy is not inconsistent with the rulings of the California Supreme Court, even though it has emphasized consistently the public-policy importance of maintaining a strong statutory protection for mediation confidentiality, as in Rojas v Superior Court, 33 Cal.4th 407 (2004): "[Confidentiality is essential to effective mediation because it promote[s] a candid and informal exchange regarding events in the past. …This frank exchange is achieved only if participants know that what is said in the mediation will not be used to their detriment through later court proceedings and other adjudicatory process [citing Foxgate Homeowners Assn. v Bramalea, 26 Cal.4th 1 (2001)]."
However, the California Supreme Court notes expressly created statutory and judicially created exceptions to confidentiality. Foxgate. One statutory exception is that a mediator may testify as to acts that may "constitute a crime." Evidence Code Section 703.5(b).
Moreover, the Foxgate court cites with approval the judicially created exception of Rinaker v Superior Court, 62 Cal.App.4th 155 (1998). In Rinaker, the court held that, when constitutional due process rights to confront, cross-examine and impeach a witness are involved, the prior inconsistent statements made by a witness at a mediation may be introduced at a subsequent delinquency matter that is a quasi-criminal proceeding. Foxgate.
Thus, federal rights may simply trump state confidentiality privileges when the federal rights are deemed sufficiently important. In mediation, participants not uncommonly acknowledge conduct that, if true, may have adverse consequences when brought to the attention of a federal agency.
Employment cases, as well as partnership and business dissolutions, provide good examples. In a sexual harassment case, an employee or counsel brings up three or four additional employees who have allegedly been similarly harassed by a supervisor. Sometimes, the employee or counsel call on a case or two of employees who left with confidential settlements involving the same otherwise highly productive supervisor (or perhaps a not-so-productive co-owner).
These cases settle at the same high rates (or higher) than other civil litigation because of the sensitive nature of the information being alleged.
Most often, these settlements include broad confidentiality terms and may include an agreement not to file or encourage any filing of any claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the IRS concerning conduct that may have arisen before the written settlement negotiated at the mediation.
Imagine a situation in which a former employee becomes a whistle-blower after settlement. She reports the company's cover-up of repeated sexual harassment of young women. Would the EEOC refuse to consider the claim between an alleged wrongdoer and a whistle-blower victim simply because of a financial settlement, a portion of which is implicitly negotiated as hush money?
Would the IRS refuse to investigate a former business associate's claim of tax fraud because of a confidential agreement? Of course not.
The lesson learned is that mediation confidentiality in California is good public policy for settling civil litigation by encouraging an open exchange of information and protecting the privacy of individuals. Nevertheless, the public policy shield of Rojas and Foxgate is far from impenetrable for the exercise of federally protected rights or concealing a crime.
This is an area rife with danger for the attorney who is not aware of the limitations to California's statutory mediation privilege. Expressly or implicitly acknowledging a possible violation of federal laws to get everything on the table privately is potentially risky, even if the case settles.
A broad confidentiality clause and hold back of settlement dollars or a liquidated damages clause may not be sufficient to silence a vengeful litigant. It also may not be sufficient to protect the privacy rights of one's client against unproved, potentially unfounded, allegations.
Legal counsel have alternatives besides introducing their client to an experienced counsel who defends clients in federal regulatory investigations.
First, when practical, a serious charge of wrongdoing should be restated as a hypothetical assumption, with a denial, throughout negotiations (for example, "for purposes of argument"). Avoiding offending the charging party by this tactic is a good idea. Thus, you should focus this part of the negotiation outside of the presence of the alleged victim and explain to opposing counsel that this is mediation in which you want to focus on resolution, not on mea culpa.
Second, when a party must have a sincere apology as part of a complete resolution, ensure that the apology takes place in a private discussion between the two parties. This is a safer, more effective approach than an apology in front of legal counsel and insurance representatives. Moreover, the private discussion creates the opportunity for an emotional peace that does not happen with the attorneys as observers.
Three, when settling, remember your basics: Include a clear denial of wrongdoing, and state that consideration is paid in exchange for avoiding the cost of continuing or further litigation and in order to protect the privacy of the client.
Finally, when a public apology is necessary to effect a resolution, temper apologies if at all practical. Ambiguity and euphemisms have a place in dialogue.

Pearl Harbor is an active harbor rich in history, and steeped in cultural significance. The site of the Japanese attack on the day that will "live in infamy," December 7, 1941, the harbor is known for its role in involving the United States in World War II. The harbor is also the site of several sunken battleships from the attack, including the USS Utah and USS Arizona, the latter which is open to the public and whose gun turrets protrude from the water at the memorial.
The USS Utah Memorial
Despite the harbor's rich cultural significance, it is not known for it's biological diversity. The harbor's silty and brackish water prevent significant coral growth, but how much coral lives in the harbor is, as yet, a mystery. Recently The Hydrous, in collaboration with the National Park Service, began some of the first research in the harbor to monitor coral settlement and growth. The team placed the first coral settlement tiles around the park, which will be retrieved, analyzed and replace over the course of a year to monitor coral recruitment, the rate at which various coral species settle on different substrates.
The project began from park divers noticing an unusual amount of corals and sponges growing on the USS Utah and Arizona, prompting questions about coral growth in the park. The amount of coral came as a surprise to divers due to the conditions surrounding the battleships: heavy metals and oil constantly leak from the wreckage, but as yet, do not seem to affect the corals. The results of this research will give scientists an insight into the relationship between the wrecks and the coral in the park, and a glimpse of the future where both are understood and protected.

The mystery of Jewdar
As readers may remember, I have done a couple of columns over the past two weeks on gaydar, that mysterious or perhaps scientifically verified sixth sense that allows people to identify who is gay and who is not gay.
The most obvious use of this ability is in the dating arena, but it's really more than that. At many times, including this time right here, homosexuals have been discriminated against. At some times, including this time right here, they have been jailed, tortured and killed. Being who you are is a crime.
So naturally, gays would develop ways of identifying friends - with the assumption that not-friends are in fact enemies, or at least potential enemies. There were, over history, all sorts of secret signals - bandannas and handshakes and little eyebrow events - but all those can be faked by people with bad intentions. Intuition is the best protection, but can you trust your intuition?
Of course you think you can, but it's risky. Be right 10 times and wrong once - well, you've got a great batting average, but you're still in jail on a sodomy charge. Still, the development of gaydar is clearly related to things more serious than hooking up on a Friday night. (Although, it must be said that, at times there is nothing more serious than hooking up on a Friday night.)
So these thoughts were running around my brain - which was also telling me that three columns on gaydar might be just a bit much - when my editor, the fabulous Andrea Behr, said casually, "Then there's Jewdar."
Now, it should be said that, for an Irish lad, I'm pretty darned Jewish. Both my daughters are Jewish, and so of course both their daughters are Jewish. I have sung at a bat mitzvah, and I was not nearly as bad as some would have expected. Also, it turns out, most of my best friends are Jewish. (I would have said "some of my best friends," but that's now a cliche meaning "I met a Jewish guy once on the golf course," which is not at all what I mean. English is so hard.) But I had never heard of Jewdar.
Jewdar is, I would think, self-explanatory. I have known people who had an overexcited Jewdar sense, and they were always willing to share. "Meryl Streep? Jewish. Of course. Clint Eastwood? Jewish. Flipper? Jewish dolphin. Everyone knows that." They want the world to be Jewish, or at least everyone in the world who can boast of any skills, awards or surgical competence.
And of course it has dating implications. Not, it was explained to me, that Jewish young adults necessarily want to date other Jewish young adults, but wouldn't it be great if the person were attractive and funny and a little goofy in a charming way - and Jewish? Think of family conversations and how smoothly they would go.
None of that rabbi standing next to the minister thing, either. No darn 1 Corinthians 13, even though there's nothing wrong with that. No doxology. Such a relief.
The question, of course, as yet unresolved by science: Is Jewdar effective? Can it accurately predict who is and who isn't? Even with some people who would seem to be obvious choices, you - just let me whisper the word "Lebanese." All of a sudden there's a cousin who's a Druze militiaman, and what price family contentment now?
But - to return to the serious theme at the beginning of the column - there's a larger and more compelling reason for the development of Jewdar. There was a time in Europe - and there still is a time in other places right now - when being able to know friend from foe was literally a matter of life and death. It was hard, because Jews come from many places on the globe and look many different ways, speak many different languages, and sorting it all out takes an almost supernatural instinct.
Get it wrong, go to jail. It's like Monopoly, only with real people and the Gestapo.
It is not known how much of a role Jewdar played in the survival of those who did survive. Sometimes it might even be counterproductive: Oscar Schindler is an obvious example, but there were many others. Compassion is not limited by ethnic and cultural boundaries. But still, underneath all the joking, there's the reality of friend versus foe, and what to do in the absence of shibboleths.
Think on it.
Warning: This column contains cultural stereotyping that may offend people with lots of time on their hands. My apologies to all.

This new offering of old songs, recorded on the old instruments, is like a ship setting sail for the past,
the future, and lands of hidden treasure. Each note of music, the steps we dance to it, and every glance
the dancers exchange, are sparks from the embers of an ancient hearth. Woven patterns of words,
melodies and movements convey forgotten values, which we hope to rekindle in a new way.
Songs of separation and exile give voice to the sorrow of parting and the longing for return. Wedding
songs, like mystical poems, celebrate joyful communion between body and soul, heaven and earth.
They exhort us to remember: our days on earth are counted, so live them to the fullest, with joy.

Women have been oppressed throughout history for various reasons and are now being shamed into suppressing their sexual desires, wants and needs and sexual expression.
Women are labeled numerous derogatory names like "slut" or "whore" when they are sexually expressive and verbal about their sexuality. Yet men are praised for doing the same thing. Men are rewarded by our society for sleeping with numerous amounts of women yet if a woman wants to act on her sexual desires she is shot down by our society.
Do not get me wrong, I understand that society labels men "man whores" when they can easily get women or brag about it but it is not necessarily a bad thing. Being a "man whore" is almost like receiving an award for having sexual intercourse with various individuals and having "game" with the ladies. I find it surprising that men typically are not labeled into feeling shameful for being sexually expressive yet women are.
"Men do all the labeling," Bradley Mayo, 26, an undecided major said. Which could be a good reason why women are labeled so harshly while men are just teased about being sexual-beings. The terms "slut" and "whore" are both referred to as "a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money" by Dictionary.com. Even the definition only states that a "slut" or a "whore" can be a woman. There is no mention of a promiscuous male. Yet most women are having sex because they simply just enjoy it, not for money. So why are we labeling women such horrible names when it does not pertain to them whatsoever.
A lot of people have a notion that men can have a unknown number of sexual partners yet women should have a predestined number that should never be exceeded. In a poll I took the average number of sexual partners in a lifetime that was deemed okay for a man was about 27 while the average number for women was eight. Why are these numbers not the same? Don't we as a country want equality for all?
"It is not fair to say that a man can have sex with whomever he wants but a woman can't because we do live in a world of equal opportunity," Taryn Orlando, 21, a psychology major said.
"If a woman has the confidence then she definitely has the free will to be as sexually expressive as she wants," Orlando said. Women should feel safe being sexually verbal and expressive and without fear of being ridiculed, Society should not focus on the number of sexual partners a certain person has, because that does not define that person. Who cares if they enjoy sex? Why does that even matter? A person is not defined by being sexually verbal, yet we still continue to do it.
We live in a highly sexualized society yet we are oppressing women and shaming them into not wanting to be sexually expressive. It is easy to see for yourself that women are sexually degraded, just turn on your radio and listen to the lyrics of many mainstream songs. It is perfectly okay to play songs on the radio saying things like "I want a lady in the street but a freak in the sheets", "bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks", and the list goes on and on. Yet women cannot be verbal about their sexuality without fear of tainting their reputation, which is extremely unfair, and a blatant double standard.
I challenge all students to stop the sex shaming and labeling. We are sexual-being and should be able to express ourselves sexually and verbally if we want. I mean, who doesn't like sex. I love it.
