So here I sit in Windsor, Ontario recovering from major knee surgery. I have tried four times over the last three weeks to write this column, and it seemed to have been cursed. Each time I tried I would finish the column and something would go wrong with whichever computer I was on. Now as I sit at Coach D'Amore's palatial abode recovering from possibly a career ending (hrumph yeah right!) injury I am comforted by the knowledge that this column will work damnit!
I had planned on basing this column around the X division style and its pros and cons leading up to Destination X, but since it's over and I'm laid up I think I'll cover injuries in wrestling.
Definitely one of the hardest things in life to deal with is any injury. They are physically taxing. Emotionally draining. And psychologically destructive. And when you are a wrestler this can be doubly so.
When you are an athlete in any sport injury is always one of the prime concerns. In wrestling though, it's a little more complicated than most other professional sports. Why you ask? Because usually in wrestling there is no medical coverage whatsoever.
If you are an up and comer indy star and you get hurt. You're basically screwed.
Let's take the perfect example of Tyson Dux. Last year Tyson was on a roll. Heavily being scouted by the WWE, Tyson was gearing up for the Super 8 tournament when in a freak accident during a dark match for the WWE, Tyson blew his knee out. Now for weeks Tyson had been told that the WWE was going to have a spot for him and that his contract was "on the way." But almost immediately after being injured he was informed that there was no way to sign him while he was injured. As well he had to miss out on the Super 8, which is THE indy card that has made and catapulted indy careers for 10 years.
Now this might have destroyed a lot of guys, crushed their spirits. But thankfully for us with Tyson this is not the case! After recently speaking with Tyson I am happy to say that he is back in action. He is competing in this year's Super 8 and is on his way back to being one of the best performers in wrestling. But that was a year off his life unpaid and unnoticed. Go get 'em Tyson, show 'em what Canadians are made of.
Take a look at the rash of major injuries in wrestling in the last few years. Angle, Benoit, Edge, Lita, Matt Hardy, Triple H and even Vince, to name a few, have suffered some pretty bad injuries. Hell, Vince is in a wheelchair thanks to two quad tears.
Now these guys aren't so bad off because they have the mega money machine of the WWE behind them. But think of all the young and crazy workers that you have seen do ridiculous things to try to get themselves over who have injured themselves horribly. What about these guys? How do they survive? It's a hard road. Some have insurance that they can call upon to help pay for medical bills, but some don't. Others have good day jobs that have medical coverage that can help, but most don't.
It's a very tough spot to be injured as a pro wrestler, mostly because of the worry. What worry you ask? No, not the financial worry. Nor is it the physical worry of will I be all right.
No, the truth is that most of the worry guys will feel is the "what about my spot" worry.
Most pro wrestlers -- at least the ones that I know -- care more about their place in the company and whether they will be on TV than if they will be injured for a long period of time. It's part of the sickness that Roddy Piper talks about in his book. It was my worry when I got hurt until I found out that TNA had already named a replacement for me. This is the reality of it. My spot may not be there when I get better. But such is life. There are no guarantees in this business. That is one of the realities that young up and comers had better realize before they get too far in.
Now, if you love wrestling like I do then you take stuff like being injured with a grain of salt. As its been said "this ain't ballroom dancing." And injuries come with the territory.
I don't mean for this to sound like a bitch session or a complaint. I only want to point out to any aspiring wrestlers that it's not all sunshine and lollypops -- we could use a couple more lollypops though!;} -- and there are some real hard life lessons to be learned in this biz.
My spirits are back up. Yeah, I was down a little for a few days but anyone who knows me knows I have ADD and can't stay down for long. I'm too friggin' stubborn.
Hope that gives a few of you a heads up and doesn't completely turn you off wrestling but some things need to be said.
Next week, I'll touch on some of the more enticing sides of wrestling. As well as will do a rundown analysis of the upcoming Wrestlemania card. Till then Stay Hot kiddies.

Hulu Finally Announces Subscription Plans: $10/Month To Still Get Advertisements
from the well-that's-comforting dept
That appears to be it. I'm trying to figure out who thought this was compelling. Basically, for $10/month, Hulu will be slightly less annoying to the average user by not deleting content during the season and maybe kinda sorta letting you access Hulu on your TV if you happen to use the "approved" equipment. Of course, you could also use a system that gets around Hulu's bizarre and pointless TV blocks just as easily, but we'll skip over that for now.
Looks like another lost opportunity. Hulu could have come up with real reasons to buy by actually adding value. Instead, it just focused on being slightly less annoying. Some might not see these as being all that different (doesn't it add value to be less annoying?). That's true, but there is a fundamental difference: anyone can be less annoying without getting people to pay for it. Any business should be striving to be less annoying all the time in their core product. When you set up your subscription service around "we'll be less annoying," you've now given yourself a perverse and dangerous set of incentives. You now have the incentive to be more annoying in your core product in a push to get people to sign up for the less annoying product. Effectively, it's nagware, which may work for some segment of the market, but is not about providing more positive value, but about minimizing negative value. That's not a growth strategy.

Stonewall Uprising: American Experience
Stonewall Uprising: American Experience Previous Broadcasts
Episode #2309H
KQED World: Tue, Jun 4, 2013 -- 6:30 AM
This program explores the dramatic event that launched a worldwide rights movement. Told by those who took part, from drag queens and street hustlers to police detectives, journalists and a former mayor of New York, and featuring a rich trove of archival footage, it revisits a time when homosexual acts were illegal throughout America, and homosexuality itself was seen as a form of mental illness. Hunted and often entrapped by undercover police in their hometowns, gays from around the US began fleeing to New York in search of a sanctuary. Hounded there still by an aggressive police force, they found refuge in a Mafia-run gay bar in Greenwich Village, the Stonewall Inn. When police raided Stonewall on June 28, 1969, gay men and women did something they had not done before: they fought back. As the streets of New York erupted into violent protests and street demonstrations, the collective anger announced that the gay rights movement had arrived.

Very cool. I'm working on a Champagne-style Saison for my friend's wedding, and I know exactly what you mean about the nightmares and stress. Hopefully it'll be worth it!
I did a pilot batch for a friend who wanted an imperial stout. Had a taste of the sample batches on Wednesday - one was 'plain' and the other had been aged for a week (and is still aging) on 10 grams of bourbon-soaked toasted oak chips. I preferred the bourbon one, he prefers the plain, which is good because he's having the 'real' batch contract brewed and those guys can't do oak. I will be looking forward to seeing the differences between my beer and the contract brewer's beer.
They saved a couple of bottles for their 1st anniversary and let us know that the beer was still pretty tasty a year later.
I'm doing it as a surprise present. They're both fans of my Belgian beers, and I thought a Champagne-type beer would be perfect.
My friend that got me into homebrewing made a batch for my wedding, and it was the best present we got. He gave us a copy of his design and process notes, which was pretty fun.
I can relate. We did our house amber ale for a friends wedding two years ago. The groom came over and helped brew and they both came over and helped bottle the 10 gallon batch.
Haha this is great! Love the labels and anecdotes. People are always brewing for friends weddings and their own. Excellent to hear that everyone was pleased!
Cool stories. I will relate mine from my wedding 4.5 years ago. Since my wife and I were both older (well, at least I was) and I already had a house and everything I needed for it we just asked our good friends (who a lot of them are homebrewers) to brew us their best beer for a wedding gift. My wife's task was to find a reception hall that would let us bring our own beer and not charge us. She did a wondeful job of finding a place and we had a wonderful reception/party.The final results were that we served 12 different homebrewed beers on tap (I brewed 2 of them) from CAP to Impy IPA to Old Ale (with cool names like Old Ball and Chain, Hen Pecked Hefe, Pre-Nup Pilsner, etc), our toast was with champagne-style carbonated mead (a bottle on each table), and most of the guests received a bottle of Wedding Wee Heavy that I brewed as favors. I also had glasses made (brandy snifter type) with my brewery logo on one side and the wedding date and info on the other and gave those as groomsmen's gifts so they could drink out of them at the party.It was a wonderful evening that I remember fondly. Oh, and several of the beers went on to win medals for their brewers, including 1 best of show and 1 medal at the NHC.

Storage rules for an editing rig. Some basics.Harm Millaard May 3, 2009 12:19 PM
How do you set up your editing machine in terms of disks for maximum performance and reliability? (SSD's are left out here.)
This is a question that often arises and all too often one sees that initial settings are really suboptimal. These rules are intended to help you decide how to setup your disks to get the best response times. Of course the only disks in an editing machine must be 7200 RPM types or faster. No GREEN disks at all.
Rule 1: NEVER partition a disk. You may ask why? First of all, it does not increase disk space, it just allocates the space differently. However, the major drawback is that for a partitioned disk the OS must first access a partition table at the beginning of the disk for all accesses to the disk, thus requiring the heads to move to the beginning of the disk, then when it has gotten the partition info move to the designated area on the disk and perform the requested action. This means much more wear-and-tear on the mechanics of the disk, slower speeds and more overhead for the OS, all reducing efficiency.
Rule 2: Avoid using USB drives, since they are the slowest on the market. Do not be tricked by the alleged bandwidth of USB 2.0 advertisements, because is just is not true and remember that the alleged bandwidth is shared by all USB devices, so if you have a USB mouse, keyboard, printer, card reader or whatever, they all share the bandwidth. Stick to SCSI or SATA disks or e-SATA. If needed, you can use Firewire-800 or even Firewire-400 disks, but they are really more suited for backups than for editing.
Rule 3: Use at least 3 different physical disks on an editing machine, one for OS/programs, one for media and one for pagefile/scratch/renders. Even on a notebook with one internal drive it is easy to accomplish this by using a dual e-SATA to Express card connector. That gives you an additional two e-SATA connections for external disks.
Rule 4: Spread disk access across as many disks as you have. If you have OS & programs on disk C:, set your pagefile on another disk. Also set your pagefile to a fixed size, preferably somewhere around 1.5 times your physical memory.
Rule 5: Turn off index search and compression. Both will cause severe performance hits if you leave them on.
Rule 6: If the fill rate on any of your SATA disks goes over 60-70% it is time to get a larger or an additional disk.
Rule 7: Perform regular defrags on all of your disks. For instance, you can schedule this daily during your lunch break.
Rule 8: Keep your disks cool by using adequate airflow by means of additional fans if needed. You can use SMART to monitor disk temperatures, which should be under 35 degrees C at all times and normally hover around 20-24 C, at least in a properly cooled system.
Rule 9: If people want raid, the cheapest way is to use the on-board IHCR or Marvell chip, but it places a relatively high burden on the CPU. The best way is a hardware controller card, preferably based on the IOP348 chip. Areca ARC and ADAPTEC come to mind. 3Ware uses it's own chipset and though not bad, they are not in the same league as the other two. Promise and the like in the budget range are no good and a complete waste of money. Expect to spend around $ 800 plus for a good controller with 12 connectors internally and 4 e-SATA connectors. Important to consider in a purchasing decision is whether the on-board cache memory can be expanded from the regular 256/512 MB to 2 or even 4 GB. Be aware that 2 GB cache can be relatively cheap, but the 4 GB version extremely costly ($ 30 versus $ 300). For safety reasons it is advisable to include a battery backup module (BBM).
Rule 10: If you can easily replace the data in case of disk failure (like rendered files), go ahead and use raid0, but if you want any protection against data loss, use raid 3/5/6/10/30/50. For further protection you can use hot spares, diminishing downtime and performance degradation.
In general when you get a new disk, pay close attention to any rattling noise, do perform regular disk checks, and in case of doubt about reliability, exchange the disk under guarantee. Often a new disk will fail in the first three months. If they survive that period, most of the disks will survive for the next couple of years. If you use a lot of internal disks like I do (17), set staggered spin-up to around 1 second to lessen the burden on the PSU and improve stability.
Hope this helps to answer some basic questions. If not, let me know. Further enhancements and suggestions are welcome.

Dried Date Pieces From Barry Farm Foods
here if you would like to purchase this item or look at other items from
the same category listing.
Current pricing and bulk discounts are shown on the category page.
List of IngredientsDates,
driedOat Flour (anti-clumping agent)
Barry Farm gets it's dried fruit from
multiple sources all over the country. We search out the best
possible product meeting our specifications for the best price. We
search for dried fruits that are unsulphured and "low or
no sugar added" where possible.
Following are a few things about dried
fruit that you need to know.
Natural air dried fruit without sulphur
dioxide is going to be darker, drier and possibly not as pretty as that
found in a bag at the grocery store but the flavor is still there.
So don't let the dark brown color of the fruit fool you. Sulphur
dioxide inhibits discoloration and mold growth during the drying process,
but some people are very allergic to it.
Some fruits MUST have some sugar or
glycerin infused when going through the drying process because of the low
natural sugar content of the fruit. This keeps the pieces soft
enough to chew when dried.
One reason that many naturally dried
fruits are drier or tougher is that without a preservative, they MUST have
a lower moisture content to prevent spoilage. This means that, in
some cases, you are getting Mother Nature's naturally shaped fruit
Several of our more unusual dried fruits
MUST be processed with sulphur dioxide; there's just no other way.
We have tried to be sure to list this fact on ANY fruit that is treated in
this way.

Whitney Houston's Sister I 'Don't Know How' Whitney Got in the Tub
Whitney Houston's Sister -- I 'Don't Know How' Whitney Got in the Tub
Whitney Houston's sister-in-law Pat is throwing more fuel on the fire for those people who think Whitney may have been murdered ... saying she does not know how Whitney ended up in the bathtub of her hotel room on the night she died.
As TMZ first reported, the L.A. County Coroner's Office has received phone calls and emails from people claiming to be relatives of Houston ... who say they believe Whitney was murdered.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired tonight on OWN, Pat described the scene that night, saying, "Don't know how she got [in the tub] ... I just know they had to pull her out of [the tub]."
The Coroner has already said there was no sign of foul play or trauma, but the official cause of death won't be determined until toxicology results are in.

An excerpt from John Main OSB, "Letting Go," JOHN MAIN: ESSENTIAL WRITINGS, Modern Spiritual Masters Series (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis, 2002), p. 127.
One of the most difficult things for Westerners to understand is that meditation is not about trying to make anything happen.
But all of us are so tied into the mentality of techniques and production that we inevitably first think that we are trying to engineer an event, a happening. According to our imagination or predispositions, we may have different ideas of what would happen. For some it is visions, voices, or flashes of light. For others, deep insights and understanding. For others again, better control over their daily lives and problems. The first thing to understand, however, is that meditation has nothing to do with making anything happen. The basic aim of meditation is indeed quite the contrary, simply to learn to become fully aware of what is. The great challenge of meditation is to learn directly from the reality that sustains us.
The first step toward this—and we are invited to take it—is to come into contact with our own spirit. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of all is that we should complete our life without ever having made full contact with our own spirit. This contact means discovering the harmony of our being, our potential for growth, our wholeness—everything that the New Testament and Jesus himself, called "fullness of life."
So often we live our life at five percent of our full potential. But of course there is no measure to our potential; the Christian tradition tells us it is infinite. If only we will turn from self to other, our expansion of spirit becomes boundless. It is all-turning; what the New Testament calls conversion. We are invited to unlock the shackles of limitation, to be freed from being prisoners within our self-limiting egos. Conversion is just this liberation and expansion arising when we turn from ourselves to the infinite God. It is also learning to love God, just as in turning to God we learn to love one another. In loving we are enriched beyond measure. We learn to live out of the infinite riches of God. (WMF, 19-20)
After meditation: "Finding a Teacher," W. S. Merwin, MIGRATION: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS (Port Townsend, WA: Copper Canyon Press, 2005), pp. 206-207
In the woods I came on an old friend fishing
and I asked him a question
and he said Wait
fish were rising in the deep stream
but his line was not stirring
but I waited
it was a question about the sun
about my two eyes
my ears my mouth
my heart the earth with its four seasons
my feet where I was standing
where I was going
it slipped through my hands
as though it were water
into the river
it flowed under the trees
it sank under hulls far away
and was gone without me
then where I stood night fell
I no longer knew what to ask
I could tell that his line had no hook
I understood that I was to stay and eat with him.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to pseudoephedrine/triprolidine: oral liquid, oral suspension extended release, oral syrup, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release
Pseudoephedrine causes vasoconstriction which generally does not produce hypertension, but may be problematic for patients with preexisting hypertension. Arrhythmias may be produced in predisposed patients. Rarely, pseudoephedrine has been reported to cause coronary artery spasm and chest pain.
One report evaluated the effect with 60 mg of pseudoephedrine on individuals in a hyperbaric chamber at 1 atmosphere (simulated scuba dive to 66 feet of sea water). Pseudoephedrine and depth (stimulated) were found to have significant but opposite effects on heart rate, although these effects were unlikely to be clinically significant during diving.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects of pseudoephedrine have included tachycardia. Some patients have developed hypertension and/or arrhythmias.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects of pseudoephedrine have included insomnia in up to 30% of patients. Tremor, anxiety, nervousness, and headache have also been reported with the use of pseudoephedrine. Antihistamines such as triprolidine have been reported to cause drowsiness.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects of pseudoephedrine have included anorexia and gastric irritation in approximately 5% of patients. Dry mouth, nose, or throat have occurred in up to 15% of patients receiving pseudoephedrine. Antihistamines such as triprolidine have also been reported to cause dry mouth. Pseudoephedrine-triprolidine may cause diarrhea.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects with the use of pseudoephedrine have included fixed drug eruptions.[Ref]

Leroy, Volnay,'Clos des Chênes', 1998
Color a light, faded cherryskin red. Spicy cherry wood nose, along with some menthol, there's cherrybark in the mouth with spicy cloves, wood hints, and a tannic little spine, but not enough to interfere with enjoyment. Decent drinking, without any pretensions towards greatness. B+
Dorado, Sub-regiào de Monção, Alvarinho, 2003
A bright white gold color. Crystalline mineral nose. Minerals and fresh lime zest with a short finish. Lip smacking acid finish, with a slight bitter dimension and pear eau-de-vie there. For those who like cutting fresh lemons and sucking on them. Good, but for $20, not the best QPR. B+
Elena Walch, Alto Adige, Lagrein, 2001 Dark purplish red. Like sticking your nose in a basket of fresh-picked plums. Fresh plum and black cherry milkshake stirred with a candy licorice stick, dusty tannins on the finish. Refreshing as Black Cherry Koolaid® without the added sugar. This has 'drink me' written all over it. B+
Charles Joguet, Chinon, 'Cuvee de la cure', 2002
Light electric red colored. A simple black raspberry-cherry bark wine, not something to ponder over, but to enjoy. Lively and refreshing, but not one for the cellar (maybe 3 years out, max?). B+

Over the next five years the Royal Navy must ensure that the Ministry of Defence delivers its formidable maritime acquisition program, articulated in the Defence Review of October 2010. Preserving that program is vital if the country is to have precisely the new capabilities it needs in the years ahead.
Notwithstanding that, the ministry also has a responsibility to help address the nation's difficult financial position. Thus it is imperative that we maintain our intellectual capital so we can adapt to new technologies when we are able to acquire them. That means recruiting and retaining high-quality people who, well paid and well trained, are confident operating in the maritime environment and able to think outside the box.
Preserving that intellectual capital is also imperative as the Royal Navy, with the U.S. Navy's assistance, generates its carrier strike capability. Achieving this will fulfill my 10-year strategic objective, by returning the Royal Navy to a truly full-spectrum maritime force, one that continues to own the seams of power projection—from the sea, to the land, and in the air—able to meet the likely wide-ranging nature of future threats.
As we look further out, to the 20-year horizon, we must ensure that we retain the ability to think strategically. Despite the current global economic climate of cutbacks, we should resist paring our level of long-term maritime ambition. For it is ambition that fuels change, fuels progress, and—in the business of defense—fuels military advantage.
Common to all these strategic objectives is the overriding need to be adaptable. After all, given the nature of the uncertain world in which we live, it is imperative that the Royal Navy, along with other navies, retains the capacity to evolve with it.

Spotlight for Recruiting Professionals
Edward Deci and Richard Ryan's Self-Determination Theory is a study of motivation proposing that humans have a basic need for three things: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are fulfilled among your employees, your company will see the greatest forms of motivation, performance, persistence, and creativity. On the other hand, when any of these needs are hindered or blocked, your company will experience the opposite effect.
This theory is supported by many research studies over the past 20 years, including work by Martin Seligman, former president of the American Psychological Association who founded the positive psychology movement. Seligman's study found that there are three components of happiness: pleasure, engagement (in-depth involvement with work, romance, or hobbies), and meaning (using one's personal strengths to serve some larger end).
The least consequential of these three things is pleasure, which is interesting since corporate rewards are built around "pleasure" when, in fact, engagement and meaning has much more importance.
Daniel Pink has done a tremendous job of applying this new understanding to the workplace in his book, Drive. He explains how the old model of rewards and punishment no longer work, and how companies that nurture the human need for autonomy, mastery, and purpose have seen remarkable results.
I encourage you to use this information to influence how your company designs compensation and benefits for the new wave of talent. If you want a seat at the executive table, then bring value to leadership. New thinking, new strategies, and new ways of attracting and retaining talent are of utmost importance to the success of your company. Don't sit back. Reach out and educate leadership.
In the meantime, make certain that you address each of the three needs identified by Pink as you present your company's offerings to students:

and thanks for pimping one of my cards on our front page jesse
Takes traffic to make traffic... Customs here, customs there, it's all good but the point of the FFURG FForums Customizing Community is to bring all customizers together at a site maintained and moderated by customizers with separate sections for separate areas of customizing...Do other sites have that? The problem is, the other site you're hinting at mainly I think CHEWIE, is that the people there want more eyes on their stuff rather than to hear honest criticism... They don't want to hear a critique, but just to get a "Very Nice!" with every reply...The only way the community and customizing will grow is if customizers try to be a tighter-knit group. It doesn't mean a site's forums like here at Jedi Defender aren't good for discussion or showing off one's wares, but it doesn't help customizing any if everyone flocks to one forum at a collecting site just to "show off" their stuff...Hell, half the time anyone makes a criticism "over yonder", it degenerates into a fight between people, or it simply goes unnoticed and never responded to because half the people there don't want to be told they're not perfect.Sad, but true state of the hobby that FFURG is/was trying to remedy.
I think the Clone casting call is a great idea. First because there's just been so many Clone customs as of late, but secondly because the Clone repaints are something I equate to the "astromechs customs of today". Clone color variants are a great way to get into the hobby...I'm glad a lot of new faces are trying customizing out by getting into repaints. Some are simpler straight color markings applied, others I've seen have really elaborate markings with lots of realistic battledamage... It's good seeing lots of new people try customizing out though, either way you slice it.
Hey Jason, did you get my e-mail? My internet was really wierd the other day, I tried to send a couple of my ROTS Clones but I don't know if it went through.

Maori Angry About Mike Tyson's Tattoo Artist Claiming To Own Maori-Inspired Design
from the ownership-society dept
Professor Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, author of Mau Moko: The World of Maori Tattoo, described Mr Whitmill's claims of ownership as insufferable arrogance. "It is astounding that a Pakeha tattooist who inscribes an African American's flesh with what he considers to be a Maori design has the gall to claim that design as his intellectual property," she said.That article notes that a local Parliament member said that it was a "bit rich" for Whitmill to be "moaning about the breach of copyright copied off Maori." Seems like bringing in a Maori tattoo expert would make for an interesting witness if this ever actually goes to trial...
"The tattooist has never consulted with Maori, has never had experience of Maori and originally and obviously stole the design that he put on Tyson.
"The tattooist has an incredible arrogance to assume he has the intellectual right to claim the design form of an indigenous culture that is not his."

Andrew Sullivan doubles down on what was already a stupid reaction to Sally Ride's lesbianism, with a quote from David Link:
The injustice of gay inequality, and particularly the injustice of the closet did not bother Ride. Or, maybe more accurately, it did not bother her enough to do anything with the public side of her life to try and change it. She simply accepted the closet, and took advantage of the work that others were doing on that front in order to live in a not-very-public-but-not-entirely-private lesbian relationship.
She shares this approach to the gay rights revolution with Mary Cheney. They are among the free-riders of this struggle, letting others do the fighting.
Sullivan adds:
But Mary Cheney was publicly out at least – which is more than be said for Ride.
As I pointed out in my previous post, Sally Ride came to prominence in 1983, which to anyone with an iota of knowledge about that decade will realise was not the most gay-friendly decade. Mary Cheney's sexuality became a public issue in 2000, when gay marriage and the fight for gays in the military had only just begun to gather a real head of steam. Sally Ride's father didn't work for a superior who proposed an anti-gay amendment to the Constitution that would have banned her and all other gay people from marrying their partners. So the comparison Sullivan and Link make here is not only invalid, but to compare Sally Ride unfavourably to a woman who was prominently associated with a political party actively seeking to deny gays civil rights, is nothing short of disgraceful.
I'd also like to address Link's offensive description of both Mary Cheney and Sally Ride as 'free riders of this struggle, letting others do the fighting'. By this logic, everyone who never put on a uniform for their country is 'free riding' on the freedom the military has, over the years, bought for them. Do they think every single black person in the country alive during the civil rights era was involved in the civil rights battle? Or that those who were unwilling to face the risk of violence and death were 'free riding on the struggles' of those who were wounded and killed? Not everyone is made to be a footsoldier. There is no moral draft where if you happen to be drawn into public life, you now have to serve your minority's cause.
And the most important thing Sullivan and Link are conveniently failing to address here is that while Sally Ride was a public figure, her partner wasn't. By slamming Ride and saying she should have outed herself for the greater good, they're forgetting, or worse choosing to ignore, that Tam O'Shaughnessy also had a right to privacy. It was her decision too. The decision to be an activist for a cause carries burdens and responsibilities which rest not only on the shoulders of the person in question, but their families and even friends. They were perfectly within their rights to decide to spare their loved ones the shitstorm that would inevitably have ensued had they chosen to take a stand.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was first published on thegrio.com
Before gymnast Gabby Douglas' feet could touch the floor in a historic performance at the 2012 Olympics, her precious prize had already been tarnished by black folk getting all in her hair, literally. These black folk were upset that Gabby's hair wasn't properly done.
Never mind the wunderkind was sweating while flying to unimaginable heights to snag an honor no black person had ever achieved: an all around individual Gold medal in gymnastics. I was angered over the rowdy twitter chatter of the hair police and so glad the young heroine wouldn't be distracted by the "hairsterical" taunts of this malicious pep squad.
I mean if they wanted to get metaphorical about "hair" then all they had to do was look. Were they oblivious to her tiny frame coiling like "Kitt Curls" on the balancing beam? Did they miss her "locked" body "twist" itself up in the air? Did they ignore her graceful "waves" and her "split (second) endings" in breath-taking floor exercises? You want hair? We got hair! But please, none of the madness that she wasn't cosmetologically correct!
When I saw Gabby's innocent smile and beautiful face, she bore striking resemblance to another young girl who had fiercely pursued her dream decades before: Oprah Winfrey. I immediately tweeted a photo of Oprah holding a microphone when she was about Gabby's age. Ironically, the day after Gabby was crowned, Oprah faced stern rebukes for appearing with her natural hair on the upcoming September cover of her O Magazine. Oprah said she likes to "let loose" in her spare time.
But why do we recoil at black women's choices about how they wear their hair? As if some hair is better than other hair, as if some hair is preferable to other hair. Well, sisters, let me let you in on a public secret: There ain't no such thing as "good hair."
Hair politics are pretty ancient. A multi-billion dollar industry grew from the urge, first expressed thousands of years ago, to flick insects or mud from mangled locks by taking a fish bone or carved whale rib to remove the debris.
So many of us – perhaps too many of us – have set off like Christopher Columbus in search of "good hair," and like that confused pioneer, we've ended up lost on foreign shores claiming something as ours that really doesn't belong to us. Plus we've got to resist seeing ourselves through the eyes of those who didn't love us to begin with, who sought to subdue us by making us believe we were inferior in every sense.
Some brave black women have fought such colonizing ideas about hair. Think of Grace Jones with her legendary gleaming skull, Susan Taylor with her elegant and flowing braids, and Whoopi Goldberg with her lovely locks featured daily on national television.
And it's not just a black thing. Some Asian women are warned against wearing pigtails because they'll look like peasants. Scarf squads trail some Middle-Eastern sisters lest a lock of hair slip into view. Some married orthodox Jewish women shave their heads only to buy wigs (sheitel) sanctioned by the Talmud. And Christian women have been set up by the Bible (1 Corinthians 11:15) for Hairanonia –the fear of not having a "crowning glory."
Gabby's critics forced me to reflect on my "hairstory," and to recall my critics. When I was one of a few blacks girls in grade school, a white girl named Blondie teased me about my kinky hair as her braids slapped my face when she spun around to play with other classmates. In the late sixties, I cut my ties with "colonizing" styles by clipping away my perm to wear an Afro. I was shocked and saddened when some of my Afrocentirc sisters told me that my natural was too nappy!
So, after blow-outs and hot picks didn't spare my Angela Davis-lke 'fro, I lightly permed my natural hair to be at one with my Kente cloth sisterhood. I grew so tired of their relentless gaze that I took to wearing African hair-wraps called Geles.
Over the years, I've changed my hairstyle to reflect my evolving belief that my hair should please me regardless of what others think. When I turned 50 I had my hair twisted; by 55 I was back to perms and sometimes weaves. I suffer from a mild case of Alopecia and wear blended and occasionally full wigs. At 60, I claim full follicular freedom: I don't give a damn what anyone thinks of my hair.
I pray the same for Gabby. I hope the uplifting words of Serena, Beyoncé, Gabrielle Union, Michael Eric Dyson and Oprah echo in her ears as she goes for more gold at the Olympics. And as the torch of the 2012 games is eventually extinguished, I hope the flames of our self-hatred and our hairanoia will likewise die out.
7 thoughts on "Hairanoia"
African hair is as distinctive as our hips and breasts. We love our hips and breast… why not our hair? We have been brainwashed to believe that Caucasians represent the epitome of beauty. We have lost self-adulation. The Afro was the answer in the 60s and remains so.We can't just love part of ourselves.
Gabby, I could care less what your hair look like – CONGRATULATIONS!
The brass nerves of some to dare talk about Gabby's hair 1) as if it was a priority over her routine, 2) as if it wouldn't sweat out even if it were coiffed, 3) as though she wanted 101 fake (or real) braids swinging around in her face while competing. Did anyone say that she was focused on what really mattered and why she was at the Olympics (and the answer is/was not her hair)? Moreover, did some of you forget that your hair used to look the same as Gabby's (or worse) before you started investing a small fortune in the weave/wig industry. An overwhelming majority of black women don't even expose their real hair (let alone what condition it's in). Gabby's hair looks better than most who sport rusty looking/unrefreshed weaves. Gabby's "live" looks better than most with "memorex". Check the Ella Fitzgerald commercial.
well with her hair she now has enough money to do with what ever she wants to do with it, now what ya hater going to say to that!!!! Maybe ya should ask her to borrow some to go get ur hair fix. Ya black folk (the compliner, haters, jealouser) need to get a life. GOD DONT LIKE UGLY. Gabby I woldnt change a thing to your hair. We are so proud of you.
AMEN! I pray everyday for those who lack self respect and love for themselves, it's so embarrassing for the world to see black americans act this way. Shame on all of you and I will continue to pray for your deliverance from ignorance
Its sad we treat adults like this but when you have a child doing what 99.1% of americans cant do… what does it say about us as a people on how we treat our children.This childs mother did something most of us would never do SHE WENT INTO DEBT TO MAKE HER childs dream come true, AND HER DAD IS FIGHTING IN THE MILITARY COME ON MAN……….As A over 50 black man its truly acts like this that make me wish I was not black…FOR EVERYONE OF YOU THAT SAW HER HAIR AND NOT HER SKILLS SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,,,,SHE IS A STAR,,ITS CLEAR YOU ARE NOT AND THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS CHECK HER HAIR….YOU AND EVERYONE OF YOU COULD HOLD HER DOWN THATS WHY SHE HAS GOLD AND YOU DONT…SHAME ON YOU,,,,MOST OF YOU BLACK WOMEN GOT HORSE HAIR ANYWAY,,,YEA i SAID IT,,GO SWIN THEN CHECK YOUR DO….HATERS
WOW……you are so right it hurt my feelings and to hear the white people talking about it I just had to leave the room….praying the conversation was over when I returned its not laughing matter…

BRISTOL, Tenn. – King University pitcher Hannah Light started off her senior season on high note last weekend, and was selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Softball Pitcher of the Week. Light tossed a pair of shutouts at the Cougar Classic, including a season-opening win over #25 Columbus State University.
The reigning Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year nearly threw a no hitter in her first start of the year against #25 Columbus State University. Light carried the no-hit bid through six and one-thirds innings when the Cougars got their only hit of the game. Light struck out seven in the 2-0 win. The senior was nearly as dominant in her next start, a 4-0 win over Tusculum College. She allowed four hits and struck out seven in the complete game shutout of the Pioneers.
The Tornado are scheduled to play their home opener on Wednesday against Carson-Newman University with first pitch slated for 1:00 p.m. King is also scheduled to play at home on Saturday against UVa-Wise with first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Hyderabad: In an open act of defiance, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy indirectly warned his own Congress party`s leaders that the organisation would have to face the consequences of bifurcating the state.
The Chief Minister said whenever the government or party take wrong decisions, people send them home.
"There are many instances both in the states and at the centre, when governments and parties were sent home by people for not taking correct decisions," he said while addressing `Telugu language day` celebrations here on Thursday evening.
"In a democracy, government and party can`t take decisions. Only people take decision. It will be wrong to think that the government or party can take decisions," he said.
The Chief Minister`s remarks came amid the continuing public protests in Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions over the Congress Working Committee`s decision to carve out a separate Telangana state.
This is the second time that Kiran Reddy, who hails from Rayalaseema, has questioned the July 30 decision. He had earlier asked the party not to take any further step without addressing key issues arising out of bifurcation, including the status of Hyderabad.
The Chief Minister`s remarks came a day after Congress leaders from Telangana urged the leaders to either rein in the chief minister or impose the President`s rule. They even accused him of financing the agitation in Rayalaseema and Andhra and making police look the other way to scuttle the process of bifurcation.

PORTSMOUTH — After Tuesday night's impressive win over Manchester West, junior Hannah Stevens listed offense as one of the things her Portsmouth High School girls basketball team needs to work on.
That may be bad news for the rest of Division II.
The Clippers broke the 70-point mark for the second straight game and 11 players worked their way into the scorebook in a 73-18 victory at Stone Gymnasium.
Stevens scored 11 points to lead the Portsmouth charge, while Allison Dennehy and Gina Ferrari contributed 10 apiece.
"We came in knowing there were things we needed to work on," said Stevens. "We all know we have the tough part of our schedule coming up, so we really wanted to focus on our offense and our defense coming into this stretch."
The Clippers (6-1) have won six straight Division II games after an opening-night loss to Pelham.
"We really didn't get off to a good start," said Stevens. "We've built up every game since then and now we're starting to gain confidence."
After netting 23 points in a 73-61 win over Coe-Brown last Friday, Alicia Brown got the Clippers going in the first quarter. She scored six of Portsmouth's first 14 points as it rolled out to a 16-4 lead after one.
After Annan Broulillet's jumper closed the West (0-6) deficit to 10 points, it was Dennehy's turn to take the baton. She tallied six of her 10 points in the second quarter as Portsmouth built a 28-6 lead with 4:08 left in the half.
"Before the game, we talked about getting everyone involved," said Portsmouth coach Dan Parr. "We wanted to get a bunch of different combinations involved and it worked out well for us tonight."
Portsmouth will kick off the most grueling part of its schedule on Friday with a trip to Dover to face rival St. Thomas. The Clippers will then travel to Milford (4-1) and Hollis-Brookline (5-1) before hosting Goffstown (6-0).
The Clippers defeated St. Thomas, 53-45, in last month's Oyster River holiday tournament.
"We beat them in the tournament," said Parr, "but we know they're capable of winning any game at any time, especially there."
Portsmouth shot 58 percent from the field on Tuesday, including a 5-for-5 start in the third quarter in taking a 55-15 lead after three.
"Our offense is really starting to come together," said Parr. "We put a lot of things in to start the season, and now we've stripped out the things that really weren't working. We've simplified things a bit and now you can see the offense starting to gain confidence."
More bad news for the rest of Division II.

CASTLETON, Vt. – The Gallaudet University offense pounded out 532 yards on the ground, and the Bison defense forced three key turnovers to earn a 59-40 win over Castleton State College in Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) action Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium.
Bison starting quarterback Quentin Williams (Chesapeake, Va.) led the way with 234 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns, while Michael Hantge (Hutchinson, Minn.) added 164 yards on a game-high 26 carries and a score. Nick Elstad (Colorado Springs, Colo.) added 56 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and Ryan Bonheyo (Frederick, Md.) rounded out the Bison runners with 50 yards and a touchdown on 4 carries. Anthony Palmer (Unadilla, N.Y.) relieved Williams in the second half, and finished 5-for-6 with 142 yards and two touchdowns. Ryne Worsham (Chicago, Ill.) caught four balls for 142 yards and two scores.
Shane Brozowski (Rensselaer, N.Y.) led the Spartan offense, completing 30-of-42 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns. Brandon Boyle (Springfield, Vt.) proved to be his go-to receiver, hauling in 13 catches for 129 yards. Michael Patterson (Jackson, N.J.) caught six balls, including two that went for touchdowns, finishing with 90 yards. Tyler Carpenter (Fort Edward, N.Y.) led the Castleton ground game with 50 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.
Castleton took the opening drive down to the Gallaudet 19 yard line, with Brozowski orchestrating a series of passing plays, including a 31-yard strike to Patterson. On second-down-and-one, Brozowski once again looked in Patterson's direction, but AJ McCrea (Decatur, Ga.) jumped the rout and came up with an interception at the seven-yard line.
On the ensuing drive, Castleton appeared to have the Bison boxed in on a third-and-three, but Williams broke free for an 86-yard touchdown run.
A Spartan three-and-out gave The Bison the ball back at their own 27, and 14 plays later Jeremy Cormier (Mehuen, Mass.) booted a 21-yard field goal to make it 10-0. Castleton's Dustin Young (Dunnellon, Fla.) and Josh Osborne (Island Heights, N.J.) combined to make three huge stops with the Bison threatening for a touchdown inside the Castleton five.
Castleton got on the board on its ensuing drive, going seven plays and 60 yards, capped by a Borzowski-to-Patterson six-yard touchdown.
The teams went back-and-forth in the second quarter, trading touchdowns over five-straight drives. A blocked extra point by Gallaudet's Adham Tallaat (Springfield, Va.) gave the Bison a 24-20 edge before pushing it to 31-20 on a Palmer-to-Worsham touchdown pass. Castleton appeared destined to score before halftime, but Tony Tatum (Gardendale, Ala.) came up with an interception in the end zone and Gallaudet entered halftime with the 11-point margin.
Palmer and Worhsam hooked up once again to open the scoring in the second half, and Castleton answered with a Carpenter plunge from two yards out to make it 28-27. Hantge pushed the lead to 45-27 with a 12-yard rush, and after a Spartan punt, Palmer capped a 10-play 70-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown run with one second left in the third period.
Another Carpenter touchdown run and a Brozowski-to-Zack Waitkus (Stafford Springs, Conn.) touchdown pass sandwiched am 18-yard Bonheyo touchdown to wrap up the fourth quarter scoring.
Tom Pangia (Hammontown, N.J.) led the Bison defense with 14 tackles and a forced fumble, while Shelby Bean (Arvada, Colo.) added 11. Matt Harris (Lynchburg, Va.) spent plenty of time in the Spartan backfield, harassing Brozowski with three sacks, four hurries and a huge forced fumble that Gallaudet recovered at midfield.
Osborne ended the day with 13 tackles and a half sack, while Ethan Macura (Granville, N.Y.) added 11 and Josh Sparveri (Coventry, Conn.) chipped in with a career-high 10.
With the loss Castleton falls to 3-5 overall and 2-3 in ECFC play. The Spartans will wrap up their home slate next Saturday when they play host to Husson at 12 noon. The win ups Gallaudet's marks to 5-3, 4-1.

Northumberland is a county in Northumbria, on the England-Scotland border.
Other destinations
Northumberland is England's most northerly and sparesly populated county. Northumberland means "land north of the Humber" and once covered an area stretching from Dumfries to South Yorkshire.
The area has a very long and bloody history, due to its proximity to Scotland and has fallen under Scottish hands at least once as the border shifted over time. The more populous towns are either market towns (Amble, Hexham, Alston) and others are mining communities (Prudhoe, Ashington) before the collapse of the industry.
Northumberland is the only county with a particular kilt style and dance (due to the Scottish roots?) and has its own dialect, different from the famous Geordie of Newcastle.
Get in
Get around
You generally need a car to get about in Northumberland as it is a rural county. There are some regular bus services on the main routes mainly served by Arriva Northumbria. Bus timetables can be found at http://www.ukbuses.co.uk/ and clicking on Nexus icon at the bottom of the page.
There is a cross-county train service from Newcastle-Carlisle, stopping at towns in the Tyne Valley, including Prudhoe, Corbridge, Hexham and Haltwhistle.

Hurt by sharply lower demand in its recycling business and softer across-the-board segment earnings, Commercial Metals (NYSE:CMC) halved its first-quarter earnings on Monday and fell short of expectations.
The Irving, Texas-based manufacturer of steel and other metal products reported net earnings of $49.7 million, or 42 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier $107.7 million, or 93 cents.
Continue Reading Below
"We remained profitable for the third quarter in a row," Commercial Metals CEO Joe Alvarado said in a statement.
Excluding a one-time gain related to the sell of its 11% interest in a Czech Republic joint venture, however, Commercial Metals earned just 13 cents a share, below average analyst estimates of 17 cents in a Thomson Reuters poll.
The results were largely impacted by a sharp profit decline in its Americas Recycling segment to $4.5 million from $20.8 million last year, attributable to soft demand that impacted both pricing and volumes.
The only business unit to partially offset the results was the International Marketing and Distribution group, which recorded an adjusted profit of $40.2 million compared with a loss of $4.1 million last year. Alvarado, however, said the segment is expected to exhibit softness until there is more clarity regarding the global economic turnaround.
Revenue for the three months ended Nov. 30 was $1.8 billion, down from $2 billion a year ago, narrowly missing the Street's view of $1.89 billion.
Looking ahead, Alvarado said there is "growing evidence of an emerging recovery" in domestic construction markets, though customers are expected to remain cautious.

Tips for Planning a Safe and Fun Halloween for Your Child With Food Allergies
Just because your child has a food allergy, it doesn't mean that your child can't have a safe and fun-filled Halloween. With advanced planning and some creative thinking, celebrating Halloween with your child can still be a blast.
Reading labels, staying vigilant and being mindful of alternatives to traditional Halloween revelry (and treats!), are critical for a safe and healthy Halloween for children with food allergies.
When it comes to reading labels, at Halloween it can be a challenge because the mini-sized treats don't usually have the ingredients listed, rather the ingredients are listed in the large bag that the mini-candies come in. Also, with miniature candy, often times the ingredients are slightly off from their larger non-Halloween packaged counter parts.
Knowing that the majority of child food allergies stem from peanuts, milk, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, wheat, soy and strawberries, have a look at the most popular candy and chocolate on the market. A vast majority of Halloween candy contains one or more of the ingredients that cause children's food allergies.
Always stay away from any treats that contain the following:
- Chocolates (milk, eggs)
- Candy or chocolate with caramel (contains milk)
- Candy & chocolate with nuts
- Candy bars with cookie centers, like Twix and Kit-Kats (wheat)
- Licorice, Twizzlers and Tootsie Rolls (wheat)
- Any candy or chocolate that contain strawberries
Safe candy actually does exist at Halloween. Look for:
- Dots Life Savers
- Gummies
- Dum Dum Suckers
- Skittles
- Starburst
- Jelly Beans, Mike & Ikes
- Nerd's and most types of gums
If you're ultimately not up for the ensuing battle of taking candy away from your child after an evening of trick-or-treating, but don't want to take the Halloween experience away from your child, many experts suggest that you take the time to deliver non-candy "goodie-bags" to your neighbors so they can give then to your child when she gets to their home.
Items to consider including in the goodie-bags can be simple yet totally enjoyable for your child: glow sticks, temporary tattoos, small toys, puzzles, practical joke toys, stickers etc.
While all the emphasis may be focused on keeping your child safe from dangerous treats, its important to remember that part of keeping them safe at Halloween, is to focus their attention away from the candy-filled side of this holiday. Here are some great "distractions" and alternative fun during the Halloween season:
- Focus the emphasis of the holiday on planning and creating their unique Halloween costumes
- Go all out and involve them in great Halloween decorations for the house
- Design a Halloween themed scavenger hunt -- Your child and their friends can go door-to-door in search of the scavenger hunt items instead of candy
- Throw an over-the-top hunted house party on Halloween night and invite all of your children's friends over.
- Have your child "run" the hunted house to provide her an exciting responsibility
Regardless of how you end up spending your Halloween, for your own peace of mind always remember to carry antihistamine and epinephrine (be sure to have it at your child's school too, especially during Halloween), and if your child doesn't already wear one, a medical ID bracelet is mandatory for proper care in the event of an emergency.

YEOVIL Town chairman John Fry has confirmed that the club will submit their planning application for the development of Huish Park to South Somerset District Council later this week.
The long awaited application is scheduled for determination by the Area South Planning Committee in March.
Mr Fry said: "I am pleased to confirm that following numerous discussions with the District Council and our Joint Venture Partner, CDS International Ltd, the Club will be submitting to the Council planning proposals for the development for the north end of the Huish Park site.
"In the last 20 years this football club has made massive strides in its development, as has the town of Yeovil, but my directors and I have to move on with time.
"We are a Championship club now, something that probably could never have been envisaged when we moved to Huish Park back in 1990, and for the sake of the club and all around us we must move on.
"We are desperate to stay on the Huish Park site, however, the stadium needs massive investment to bring it up to modern Championship standards as does the infrastructure around it and the development will bring some 300 new jobs to the area."
"Only last October a new development of some 800 houses was started a stone's throw away from Huish Park, and those houses residents' will need a food store and having one close by would relieve still further traffic problems from the town centre.
"I would therefore implore the Council to work with us as partners to bring our long standing negotiations to an end to benefit the community of Yeovil and our supporters.
"Yeovil Town Football Club has already put the Town of Yeovil on the International map besides bringing much needed revenue and jobs to the area.
"It cannot afford to be held back and it would be a disaster for the town of Yeovil, if the club was forced to look elsewhere to move forward."
Club manager Gary Johnson said: "Any progression off the pitch for the Football Club has got to be great news for our progression on the pitch.
"It is a pity it has taken so long to get this far. This club has over the last ten years made massive strides in the Football pyramid and as we speak we find ourselves competing in the second tier of English Football and the fourth highest in World football.
"The development would provide the capital to generate new income streams to attract better players and training resources which will obviously enhance our position in the SkyBet Championship."

Spanish or Castilian is an Iberian Romance language, and the second (perhaps third or fourth) most spoken language in the world.
Spanish is spoken by more than 500 million people worldwide and is official language in 21 countries, with over 330 million native speakers. In USA alone there are more than 30 million native Spanish speakers and it is the number is still increasing.
Spanish is an official language in many international organizations (i.e. United Nations, GATT, etc.) and is widely used in the world of art and tourism.
If you can learn Spanish, you'll have a head start in learning the other Latin-based languages such as French and Italian. And it will even help you learn Russian and German, since they too have Indo-European roots and have some characteristics (such as gender and extensive conjugation) that are present in Spanish but not English.
Whether you enjoy talking, reading, or mastering challenges, you'll find all of them in learning Spanish. For many people, there's something inherently enjoyable about successfully speaking in another tongue. Although learning a language can be work, the efforts pay off quickly when you finally get to use your skills.

OKANOGAN Winter road closures start today in the Methow Valley and Tonasket ranger districts of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
Several of the closed roads are part of the districts' snowmobile trail system. Other closures to wheeled vehicles help provide protection for deer winter range and lynx habitat, the U.S. Forest Service said.
Food resources can be scarce for deer in the winter, and their energy reserves are low. The closures limit the disturbance of deer during that critical period.
Likewise, disturbance during the winter has been identified as a risk factor for lynx.
The Okanogan National Forest Travel Plan map shows seasonal road closures. It is free and available at Forest Service offices in Okanogan, Tonasket and Winthrop, and is online under the "maps" tab on the forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/okawen.

Even though he could take care of her for the rest of his life by simply marrying her, that would be a different form of love and he probably has doubts as to if her feelings would change if she knew the truth. Clearly he doesn't want to ruin what he has right now. Or maybe the bastard really plans on making a harem with the rest of the girls

Well, after finishing the series, I can say I definitely enjoyed this one. The Harem aspect of it was pretty meh, and I've seen better. But luckily, this series had me in tears from all the laughing I did overall, so it easily makes up for it.
Didn't really have a favorite girl, none of em really appealed to me highly, but I'd say its a tie between Akiko and Ana of overall entertainment, both had be dying from their crazy jokes.
I'd give this a solid 8 out of 10, and would watch a second season if it ever came to light.

Last episode still had some nice stuff. I especially liked Ana kissing Akiko
I'd say that's proof that Ana also swings both ways, just like Arashi, and that she's attracted to Akiko. She doesn't call Akiko "bishoujo" (beautiful girl) for nothing.
After she kissed Akiko, she stopped holding her skirt down, and as expected, the wind flaps it up, and Akiko gets to see below it. I think that was fully intentional by Ana, to say to Akiko: "Look what I have to offer. This could be yours!"
If she knew they're not blood related, she'd most likely hit on him much more aggressively
The main reason because he doesn't want this is because he's gay. He never showed any interest in any girls, and there's really a broad range to choose from: age-wise, from the loli to the older women, blone, brunette, black-haired, small breasts, medium breasts, big breasts...
So he doesn't want her to hit on him more aggressively because being hit on by girls makes him uncomfortable. He talks about protecting her from all factors, including him, because if she hit on him more aggressively, he would have to repulse her more aggressiley, and he might even lose it and actually hurt her in doing so, and he doesn't want to risk that. He still likes her like a little sister, even if they're not related.
About the writer avoiding taboos - I see it quite the opposite. This series not only has one, but even two girls who are at the very least bi, but I think they're even lesbians.
Arashi seems to think that if she pretends to aggressively pounce on males, no one will think that she's actually a lesbian. However, she's all talk, but never actually acts on it. When she gets to be alone with him, with the others outside, she doesn't try anything, but does that tea ceremony instead.
Ana has never shown any attraction to Akito in the first place. She seems to think of him as a nice plaything, or someone that is fun to have around, but never tried to hit on him or anything.
Her kissing Akiko in the last episode and intentionally letting the wind expose her lower parts to her but not holding her skirt down were a clear sign as well.
Akito finally is the first gay main character in such a series I can think of, and being gay is even a much bigger taboo than being lesbian. As said above, he isn't attracted in the least to any of the girls. He's ok with simple friendship, but that's all there is.
That makes three homosexuals, in a single show. That's quite a lot.
Finally, I really do hope that there's a second season!
I need more Ana!

At least that's true for a good number of this series' episodes. Hopefully the rest of the specials will be just as good, if not better.

You are to much into gay/lesbian thing.
No one is total gay/lesbian in this show, Arashi may be swinging both ways, Ana is just doing *high class girl play*.
Akito is straigth.
But whatever swings your boat if you want the whole cast can be gay for you.
However untill you post true proof (novel spoilers where characters such as Akito say themselves they are gay) you are just shooting fireworks at birds.

Just finished the series.
Storytelling was very ordinary - it was the characters that carried the weight. Who would think that a 15 minute conversation between Akito and Anastasia could be so entertaining?
Looking at it all, the anime would've been a lot better if it just followed the LN faithfully...
Spoiler for LN comparision:

I doubt she is a lesbian nor ojou-sama's.. This is fan service anime and such "events" should never be taken literally. She has only one interest and that is Akito and the other's just for play....

Bizarre but interesting series. And I must say, as if it's not bad enough that she's a sleep-stripper who likes to sneak into the hero's bed at night, just look where she's got her hands hooked... All I can say is AriShiteru.
Also, does anyone really believe that Akiko's good morning flash was unintentional? Considering her character, she made sure her bra was showing before she said a word.

This was the show that made me laugh the most this past season (shame on the shows that were supposed to but didn't).
Things I liked: 1) Self Producer, 2) Life ru is Love ru, 3) Anastasia, 4) Akiko (I hear her seiyuu is a rookie. Good job!)
Otherwise, some things I had a problem with: 1) very belated OPs, 2) some episodes ended very abruptly, 3) besides the late arrival Arisa, Arashi unlike the other girls got next to no backstory, 4) I think a bit of the story should be straightened out rather than having super long flashbacks that straddle episode splits, 5) Ginbei needs more presence, because right now she has very little contribution.
8/10. Considering how the show left with "We're not really blood related," I guess I'll follow if a sequel ever shows up. I really wish Silver Link would go back to doing shows with their semi-Shaft art style though.

I'm still amazed as to what they do with Arisa. Strangely, she gets more action with the girls than with Akito... Well, it's most likely for moral and double standard reasons.
Now all that's left is waiting for the specials, they already look tempting.

Bacon-Wrapped Chicken, Cheddar, and Jalapeno Parcels With Fingerling Potatoes Recipe
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.
Note: If you have leftover rice—and you probably will—tuck it into a breakfast burrito the next day.
Read more: Sunday Supper: Bacon-Wrapped Chicken, Cheddar, and Jalapeno Parcels With Fingerling Potatoes
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:1 1/2 hours
- For the Stuffing:
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 3/4 cups low sodium canned or homemade chicken stock
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
- 1 1/4 pounds fingerling potatoes, sliced into 1/4" coins
- 1 medium shallot, minced (about 3 tablespoons)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
- 2 whole pickled jalapenos, minced (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup prepared tomatillo salsa
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 6 to 8 ounces each
- 8 thick slices bacon
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. In a large saucepan, combine rice, chicken stock, 1 teaspoon oil, and about 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest, covered, for five minutes.
Meanwhile, place potatoes, remaining 2 teaspoons oil, and shallots in an oven-safe baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Place in oven and roast, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nearly cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Fluff cooked rice with fork. Add cheese, jalapenos, salsa, and sour cream. Toss to combine.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally almost all the way through and open like a book. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Fill with a generous amount of jalapeno-studded rice. Close chicken around filling and wrap each parcel with two slices of bacon. Remove potatoes from the oven and nestle chicken into baking dish. Return to oven and cook until chicken registers 155 to 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
