Alleged Pic Of Tom Daley's Naked Butt Debuts On Instagram
Guess we'd better keep those bathroom doors locked! An alleged photo of Tom Daley and his wet naked bum made its way onto Instagram allegedly courtesy of his friend Sophie Lee.
The pic was quickly deleted, but, ya know, the internet.
Here it is for posterity:
We'll need to see more evidence!

Lintah Papua Oil GO INTERNATIONAL yang beda dangan yang lain telah di kenal di seluruh Nusantara, dan sudah dipasarkan di Eropa dan Asia yang telah di pakai ratusan tahun oleh manusia untuk kebutuhan sexual demi mencapai keharmonisan keluarga. ijin sedot gan buat proxy singapuranya from fatma farma
Regarding the previous comment, the issue had little to do with nudity or shame regarding nudity. Tom Daley did not leak the picture, and it was taken down almost as soon as it was posted, so he may not be laughing, and while it is true that Europeans do not get as hung up about sex as Americans do, that's true for certain continental countries, England is not as live and let live as let's say France, so it's not a hung up American issue.
What the FK are people so concerned whether someone famous goes nude or not. I personally look forward to the times when if a famous person is nude or was caught having sex, people will enjoy it - at least most people - as opposed to the stupid approach of seeing sex as something shameful. Famous people like normal people should have their right to enjoy themselves without being judged wrongly for it. Everyone was born nude, perceiving nudity as shameful is not only stupid but also unnecessary. The same goes for sex, regardless of sexual orientation someone fucking should not be bad at all, after all they are just enjoying themselves. Many countries in Europe don't have that useless guilt sexual approach to sex as some North Americans do.
I don't think this is the first time we've seen Tom's bum-bum.
Tom and his friends seem to love posting selfies and all kinds of snapshots, often playing games with the media, perhaps the best example being the shots with Tom and DLB where they are out on the town but mum on their relationship. It's great for notoriety, but does it make us think of serious minded Olympic athlete? He probably needs better PR folks.
Career booster or harmful, he does have a cute butt covered and not.

THR Writer's Roundtable....
The Writer Roundtable:
Hollywood Reporter Roundtables Typically Draw Diverse groups of talented people. But the six men who gathered Oct. 2 at the W Hotel in Hollywood might be among the most eclectic bunch we've ever assembled:
-Journalist and Oscar-winning screenwriter Mark Boal, 39, chronicles the manhunt for Osama bin Laden in his still-unfinished Zero Dark Thirty
-Comedy kingpin Judd Apatow, 44, takes funny aim at his own family life in This Is 40
-German auteur Michael Haneke, 70, brought along a translator to help him discuss his Palme d'Or-winning Amour
-Sitcom star-turned-scribe John Krasinski, 33, who wrote the anti-fracking drama Promised Land with Matt Damon
-Veteran British writer David Magee, 50, shared stories about his fantasy spectacle Life of Pi
-Chris Terrio, 35, whose Argo marks his first feature screenwriting credit.
So, their most 'eclectic bunch' include exactly zero women? But interesting group of guys...the moderator kind of sucks the life out of it though.

Hi Matthew,
I am very near the LAVC courts as well, are you still looking for a playing partner. I also have not played in a while, let me know.
I live near LAVC and have a flexible schedule. I'm a beginner and have hit a little bit with friends. I have no idea my rating. I was a college athlete (long time ago - not tennis) so I'm not completely retarded. Let me know if you want to give it a try. Thanks.
I"m near valley college too....can play on weekends....
I'd love to play. I'm in Studio City and just bought myself a racquet for Christmas. I'm a beginner, too. Don't know the rules yet I really just want to get out and hit the ball!

Madrid After DarkA Nocturnal ExplorationBen Stubbs
published 2017 5.5" x 8.25" • 152 pages • b&w photosISBN 9781566560474 • paperback • $15.00 •
This guidebook is subtitled A Nocturnal Exploration and it takes readers on a tour of the Spanish capital many visitors may never see. Though the city is known for nightlife and late dinners, author Ben Stubbs reveals the hidden side of Madrids nighttime world, from all-night taxi drivers and party-goers to stories of religious observances and the lives of the poor. The Associated Press
In 1762 the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau observed that we are blind half our lives because of what we miss during the night. Yet there have long been literary walkers, flâneurs, who wander the dark streets of their cities to uncover the secrets of the night: from Restif de la Bretonne, in his 1789 Les Nuits de Paris, labeled both eccentric and pornographic—to Charles Dickens, who in his Night Walks (1861) evoked the sleeplessness of "a man who defied the night, with all its sorrowful thoughts." Writer Ben Stubbs was drawn like the flâneurs of the past to explore the Spanish capital famed for its late hours and exuberant nightlife. He sets out when the sun goes down, and as each hour of the night unfolds, Stubbs uncovers cultural quirks, clandestine stories, and more in a side of Madrid that visitors may not see if they stick to well-trodden guidebook itineraries: Cross-dressing migrants, people who live at the airport, Muslims celebrating Ramadan, hotel workers hidden in the bowels of the Ritz, all-night taxi drivers, party-goers enjoying their nightly marcha from bar to bar, poodle-blessing priests and locals in the poorer barrios who walk the streets with him to share the experience of a trasnochador—one who lives during the hours of the night.Mixing personal observation with literary and historical references, Stubbs introduces us to a hitherto unknown and fascinating dimension of Madrid. Madrid After Dark reveals a multifaceted city, full of surprises and possibilities, and very much awake and alive between dusk and dawn.Ben Stubbs is a travel writer and academic based in Adelaide, Australia. He is a regular contributor to literary journals and newspapers in Australia and overseas.

The University of South Carolina Upstate could have its budget cut again for another gay-themed program on the Spartanburg campus.
The school is hosting a symposium on gay topics that at one point included a lecture titled, "How to be a lesbian in 10 days or less." The event comes a month after the House of Representatives cut $17,142 from USC Upstate's budget for assigning freshmen to read an essay book on coming out gay in the South.
At least three state senators said Friday they are upset about USC Upstate's gay-themed programming. They vow to not only keep the House's cut but also slash more from the school's budget next year.
"If they've got extra money sitting around to promote perversion, obviously they've got more money than they really need," said S.C. Sen. Kevin Bryant, an Anderson Republican who sits on the Senate budget-writing committee.

The symposium was planned a year ago – long before lawmakers took aim at the 5,400-student school, said Clif Flynn, associate vice chancellor academic affairs for the university.
The conference cost about $11,500, said Reid Toth, the school's department chairwoman of sociology, criminal justice, and women's studies. About $5,000 was paid by the school and $6,500 was covered by private grants, she said.
The House funding cut, approved last month, was based on the cost of the reading program that assigned "Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio" in the fall. The House also trimmed $52,000 from the College of Charleston for assigning freshmen another gay-themed book "Fun Home."
Senators are weighing the state's $24 billion budget now.
"I think it's time that these institutions be held accountable," Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg, said.
Bright, who is running for the U.S. senate, said many people in Spartanburg are upset about the activities on the USC Upstate campus.
"Higher education is becoming more about indoctrination and less about education," he said.
Bryant and Bright were among 21 Senate and House members who voted against USC board members running unopposed during trustees elections this week because the Columbia flagship campus oversees Upstate.
Sen. State Mike Fair, who also sits on the Senate's finance committee, said he voted against the trustees "to protest questionable campus activities at USC Upstate and the main campus."
The Greenville Republican said he felt uncomfortable raising the issue because he loves the university, his alma mater where he was a starting quarterback and a trustee.
"It's an absolute insult to the moms and dads who are paying for their children's education at USC Upstate," Fair said.
USC Upstate's Bodies of Knowledge Symposium, slated for next Thursday and Friday, focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other sexual orientation issues and has stirred a typically conservative section of the state.
The college – which hosts a national conference on child abuse and an undergraduate research symposium highlighting students' work – did not intend to stir controversy with the symposium, school officials said.
The theme is "an optional opportunity (for students) to explore some of these topics which they probably would not get to in a class or in another type of organized workshop," Toth said.
Much of the outcry was over the planned performance by Leigh Hendrix of "How to be a lesbian in 10 days or less," a comical story about coming out as gay.
But some people took it as an instructive performance, instead of a comedy, USC Upstate spokeswoman Tammy Whaley said.
The event was cut after community and political uproar.
Sen. John Courson, chairman of the higher education senate finance subcommittee, said his panel has not discussed cutting funds to schools because of gay-themed programs. The Richland Republican said he had a problem with censorship on campuses.
"I don't think we should as a legislature micromanage exactly what is being taught and discussed in college," he said.
If legislators start picking on one group, they could move onto others, said Ryan Wilson, director of S.C. Equality, which advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender South Carolinians.
"These legislators say they are concerned about taxpayer dollars," Wilson said. "What about my taxpayer dollars?"

Body Procedures
Body Procedures also called "Body contouring" or "Body Sculpting" are terms that apply to a number of surgery options that can reshape and improve nearly any part of the body. Body sculpting or contouring procedures can help improve definition and create a more proportionate body for individuals who are anxious about loose skin, excess fat, or other concerns.
The most common and popular body procedure is liposuction. (Also known as "lipoplasty" or "suction lipectomy ") This procedure sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen, chin, cheeks, neck and upper arms. Liposuction can help patients achieve dramatic results all over the body. The procedure normally lasts one to two hours and patients are usually able to return to work within two weeks. Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but the procedure can eliminate areas of fat that are unresponsive to typical weight-loss methods.
Lower Body Lift is a body procedure that generally targets a person`s thighs and lower abdomen to improve the appearance of the lower body with little scarring. After extreme weight loss or pregnancy, many people are left with excess skin that can be embarrassing and unattractive. During the lower body lift procedure, a plastic surgeon trims away excess skin to reveal a more toned, attractive figure.
The thighs are a problem area for many men and women because they are so difficult to tone. During the thigh lift procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and tissue from the upper and inner thighs to produce a thinner, more attractive leg. This body procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Depending on the area of the thigh to be lifted, an incision is made around the thigh in the buttock crease and near the groin, to minimize appearance of scarring.
A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) performed by an experienced plastic surgeon can help a patient attain a firm, toned midsection by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. Women, with stretched abdominal areas due to previous pregnancies, can benefit considerably from Abdominoplasty, although they should have completed their childbearing. Older individuals, whose skin has lost some of its elasticity and are slightly obese, can experience an improvement in their abdominal area. This body procedure generally takes between two and five hours to complete and patients can usually return to work within two to four weeks. The results are dramatic and last for years.
Upper Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) is performed on those individuals with excess hanging skin on the upper arm area. This is due to aging and dramatic weight loss. If you have drooping skin on your upper arms, consider having an arm lift performed. This body procedure can also be combined with liposuction for optimal results.
A Buttock Lift is a body procedure designed to tighten the skin of the buttock area. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other operations, such as a thigh lift and abdominoplasty. The combination of these three operations is often called a body lift. Like the face, the remainder of the body suffers the consequences of time, gravity and in some cases significant weight loss. While some areas are affected more than others, skin wrinkling and loss of tone occur throughout the body. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. An incision is made on the lower back from waist to waist. Fat and excess skin are removed giving a more contoured, tightened look.
Breast augmentation is a body procedure that enlarges small breasts, or re-balances breasts of different size or proportion. Implants add fullness to breasts that have decreased in size or begun to sag due to age or pregnancy. New implant technologies create a more natural look than ever before.
Breast reduction is a body procedure that corrects unusually large or sagging breasts, which often interfere with a woman`s normal function and physical activity. Unusually large breasts can cause chronic back pain, postural problems, deformities of the back and shoulders, and more. Generally viewed as a reconstructive procedure, breast reduction can also aesthetically improve the shape of the breasts and nipple areas.
The breast lift procedure (mastoplexy) is a body procedure that raises and re-contours loose, sagging breasts. Women often elect this surgery after losing a considerable amount of weight, or after losing volume and tone in their breasts after having children.

Joab,You are quite right about the irrationality of Ryan wanting for his team to surpass David and Rachel from AR20. With only 2 wins in hand and 7 legs to go, Ryan can at best tie David/Rachel is Ryan and Abbie win EVERY remaining leg. Not gonna happen even though I do like this team!
It would have been a great leg, if there had not been a Fast Forward the previous leg.. leading to James and Abba's victory again as they had a 2 hrs and 2 mins lead from the pit-start.
I'm sorry I have to mention this, but I hope no one is going to comment on how The Amazing Race are making the racers strip so as to drive ratings.
I'm sorry, but I'm already over the period where Amazing Race put Mactors/semi-famous people on the show to draw more viewers. They need the Amazing Race just like TAR needs them to boost popularity, more viewership or even sponsorship for the show.And TAR has even things out by casting plain Jane teams like superfans Gary and Will and monster truckers Rob and Kelley this season... by saying some teams are there based on looks is as good as saying some teams are there because they are so common and normal (David and Mary... Linda and Steve, Anita and Authur... so many examples -_-)And yes, if I may remind you we did see Trey and Lexi finish the Roadblock, in 5th place, with Lexi cheering in whoops of joy.
Well either it was missing from my download or I somehow missed it despite checking twice.Anyway I know less attractive people are put on too, though I find even these pretty unlikeable this season.
Last leg, James got his knee in sewage, so Abba is doing the roadblock. Abba thinks his scale is built correctly, but it didn't get approved. His ropes are wrong. He can't find the right rope.Abbie & Ryan and Natalie & Nadiya both get taxis. Natalie & Nadiya tell their taxi driver that they have to beat the"goras" (aka Abbie & Ryan). Apparently goras means white people but it isn't derogatory. Why can't they just say Abbie & Ryan...Abba finds the right ropes. *I can't tell which is which. Apologies. Natalie & Nadiya and Abbie & Ryan both arrive at the market. They both get the clue from the eggplant vender.Josh & Brent depart 4th at 10:53 AM. Brent works on the farm the entire time, and Josh works in the city 5 days a week.Rob & Kelley depart at 10:59 AM.Chips depart at 11:10 AM.Abba's scale gets approved, so he starts to try to balance it. He finishes the roadblock. Detour!Detour: Straw Dogs or Bamboo Jungle.Straw Dogs: Help manufacture eco-friendly jute bag.Bamboo Jungle: Grab 40 bamboo poles of various lengths and put them on a rickshaw. Then deliver it to a construction site.

Derrick Rodgers.....
Rodgers glad to be back in N.O.
By SHELDON MICKLES
Advocate sportswriter
METAIRIE -- It would be easy for Derrick Rodgers to show at least some bitterness toward the Miami Dolphins for his exile from that team after six seasons as its starting weakside linebacker.
Having your job taken away by Junior Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowl selection and a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is one thing. Being traded for a measly seventh-round draft pick is something else entirely.
Some of the sting is alleviated, however, when the trade brings you back to your hometown. Which explains why Rodgers, a graduate of St. Augustine High School, is so happy and content to be in training camp with the New Orleans Saints this summer.
"I'm not bitter about it,'' Rodgers said of the relatively light price the Saints had to pay to acquire him. "I don't think it was anything that came from the coaching staff, but there were a lot of things that had to happen for me to leave. Looking back, it was weird the way it all went down.''
The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Rodgers said he wouldn't have been opposed to staying with the Dolphins and fighting for his job, but eventually figured it was best to move on after starting 89 of 93 games since joining them as a third-round draft pick in 1997.
"I didn't actually know if I was going to compete for the job or whatever, and I asked my agent about what was going on,'' Rodgers said. "I would have taken it either way because I'm a competitive athlete and he told me several teams were interested in trading for me.''
When Rodgers learned the Saints were one of the teams that inquired, he quickly changed his mind about staying put. The opportunity to play in New Orleans in front of family and friends was appealing to the 31-year-old, who brings more speed and quickness to their new-look defense.
The Saints had penciled second-year player James Allen into the lineup during the offseason, but the chance to pick up an experienced starter with Rodgers' speed and skills were too great to pass on.
"Derrick brings us speed and a lot of competitiveness, and he has a Ray Lewis-type motor,'' said linebackers coach Winston Moss. "He shows it when we run conditioning drills, he's out there running with his pads and helmet on. That type of mentality is outstanding.''
When players run sprints after practice, like they did in the midday sun on Thursday, Rodgers chooses to keep his gear on while others around him shed their shoulder pads and helmets.
It's a custom Rodgers started when he earned a scholarship to Arizona State after playing only two years of football at the junior college level. In high school, Rodgers shunned football to play trumpet in St. Augustine's nationally renowned band.
"At that time, I wasn't really sure what it took to be a football player at that level,'' Rodgers said. "So I tried to make it as hard as I could on myself and decided to run with the pads on.
"Besides,'' he said with a laugh, "it takes too much energy to take them off -- especially when you're tired.''
While dedication and leadership are big, the Saints coveted Rodgers for the speed he brings to the perimeter of their defense. He recorded 378 tackles, nine sacks, four forced fumbles and three interceptions in his pro career, closing out his stay with the Dolphins last year with 74 tackles and two interceptions.
"We wanted another linebacker that can run and has been in the league for a number of years,'' Saints coach Jim Haslett said. "Derrick has a knack for being around the football. He can fly to the ball and close gaps.''
With his new team, Rodgers is being asked to play a different style of defense. But he and Moss say it suits his speed better, which can only be a plus for a defense that ranked 26th out of 32 teams in points allowed and 27th in total yards given up in 2002.
"I'm going to get a chance to see what's going on as the play develops,'' Rodgers said. "At Miami, I was running with my back to the quarterback. I'm going to see the quarterback, the play and everything that happens in front of me.''
"When he gets comfortable being here, he's going to be a playmaker for this defense,'' Moss said. "He's going to be looking at the quarterback and he's going to have an opportunity to make plays

The Colorado Economic Development Commission approved $94,270 in state incentives Thursday for a full-length documentary on daredevil Evel Knievel.
The state had only $59,270 left to fund film incentives, but film commissioner Donald Zuckerman expressed confidence that the state's pledge, like the famed motorcycle jumper, wouldn't come up short.
Zuckerman, who has seen interest in state film incentives outstrip the available funds, told the commission that some previously awarded projects may come in under budget.
The governor's budget proposal also contains a $5 million allotment for state film incentives, a substantial boost from the $1.6 million Zuckerman had to work with last year.
While making his pitch to the commission, Daniel Junge, the director of "Being Evel," pulled out the Oscar statue he received for his short documentary "Saving Face," which detailed efforts to help women attacked with acid in Pakistan.
"Along with Muhammad Ali, he was one of the great icons of the 1970s," said Junge of Knievel, who had a darker side the film will explore.
Although some of the footage was shot elsewhere, about $471,350 will be spent in Colorado for the remaining interviews and post-production work, Junge said.
Daredevil Johnny Knoxville, known for the "Jackass" series on MTV, is also involved in the film, which is scheduled to air next year.
Junge, who lives in Denver, is scouting for a vintage theater where he can roll archival footage of Knievel's jumps that will run behind the various people being interviewed.
The commission on Thursday also approved a job-growth incentive tax request from Osprey Packs, a Cortez-based maker of outdoor gear.
Osprey could receive $163,845 in incentives if it adds 34 net new jobs in southwest Colorado rather than California, where it has a design studio.
The commission also voted to provide $351,000 to the state's enterprise-zone administrators to help them with marketing and approved $50,000 for the Colorado Advanced Manufacturing Alliance.

Featuring T Lee of la Zuu
Dj Pooh. Zuu Tribe 97. T Lee feels gold drastic. Yeah get the cash.
T Lee:
Since money rules the world I'm a stay on the grind
Sky high feelin' fine in this west sunshine
I'm a rhyme all about my chips I ain't lyin'
I got my foot on the floor in the fast lane flyin'
Drape the double are L in an Accura or a M
Thoroughbreds chasin' me and they bad as hell
Mr. Lee, Zuu Tribe it ain't hard to tell
Hug the brakes get the number that's a player right there
See a chick goin' spin just like a nigga spin
Make sure you spin more so you always win
This a petty game but who's to blame for the shame
It ain't the same talkin' bout bein' they thang
I motivate graduate that's the plan for the (money)
But ain't broke, stressed and trippin' (actin' funny)
Dummy, get equipped, you're tryin' to playerhate
Stay off the next man you better go on and graduate
When the situations dollars it's time to smash
Two thousand zero zero party's over get the cash (oooh)
When it's all said and done we get the last laugh
Fuck what you heard bad newz travels fast
You got much grande beats that bang
We got saucy ass lyrics that swang
And a whole other zone
And three of 'em straight gone
We'll fade that ass on wax or off the dome
We strive to be the tightest top notch on the scene
Be like a fiend stay down with my team
It's a pity
Huh, situation gettin' shitty
When Lee come through will Zuu Tribe take the city?
These niggas ain't Ballers these niggas ain't phillies
But these niggas don't the most these niggas kill me
You wouldn't understand this path we done chose
Rise for much more than chips, cars coast to hoes
Throwin' bolos at fake ass ballers with fake clothes
Lead ya to the left straight killin' your soul
Let it be told
Everything that glitters is not gold
Got platinum recipes so our unit is sold
"Is it the future"
Verse 3:
Stop the sleepin' game not free
You flip? H. O. E. The 9-7 the B. Is a B.
I want the millions most defiantly
So me, giving you mine is something I can't see
I guess the real team hard make ya wanna freak freak
Cause I hand with major players that got nothing but heat
Me myself I'm a hustla
Money is what I'm after
Catch me on the next page on the next chapter
Only half of these rides get my respect
The other perpetrating' 50 need they weave check
I can't trip though cause niggas trick for these chicks
Blow up they hair buy' em thangs ain't even hip
It sound sick don't it?

Cause when you're actin' like that how you gonna handle your biz?

MLB Claims That Finance Company's 'W' Logo Violates 2 MLB Teams' Trademarks
from the 2-too-many dept
Well, this isn't a thought experiment, it's actually happening, and it is maddeningly silly. The top left image is a registered logo for the Washington Nationals baseball team, the bottom left is the registered "W" flag the Chicago Cubs fly on the rare occassion they win anything, and the logo on the right is that of Evolution Finance's website, WalletHub, through which users can compare credit card prices and get financial advice. So what's the problem, you ask?
Evolution Finance has been locked in a trademark dispute with lawyers representing the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs for two years after Major League Baseball, on behalf of the teams, opposed their attempt to trademark the white-and-green logo. The league asserts that the WalletHub logo bears a strong resemblance to Ws trademarked by the two teams, and that granting Evolution Finance rights to use the mark without restrictions could create confusion for customers and complications for both businesses.So many issues here, one struggles to know where to begin. Let's start with the fact that Evolution Finance is as much in the baseball business as it is in the puppy-murdering business, which is to say not at freaking all. "I came here to buy baseball tickets and I ended up transitioning my 401k into a personal Roth IRA on the basis of better returns in the bonds market" is a phrase that is nearly impossible to even have imagined, thus showing the extreme and dangerous power of dumb ass trademark claims. Add to it that half the problem appears to be that a trademark was granted on what barely amounts to more than a letter and we've already got issues with MLB's claims.
But to really make this a head-scratcher, I'm trying to figure out why the two teams, who actually are in the same market, are being allowed to make this claim when they haven't bothered to go after each other over their respective marks. I mean, the obvious answer is that the league likely wants the two teams to play nice over the Ws each as trademarked, but that shouldn't make anyone more comfortable with a specious move attacking a company that isn't in their market.
"It is common for trademark owners to sometimes overreach in protecting their marks," said S. Lloyd Smith, an attorney at Buchanan, Ingersoll and Rooney who represents Evolution Finance. "They're always concerned or cautious that if they don't enforce their marks they might lose their rights. The real question is why does MLB care?" Smith said. "They don't own the letter W. There's lots of other Ws out there. They're just plainly overreaching in this case."Overreaching and fanning on a curve ball for strike three, more like it.

My name is Jennifer Hight, and this is my first blog post before I head to Argentina. I am a student at Western Oregon University, and by the time I go abroad I will be a junior. I am a history major, and a literature minor. I am required for my B.A. to complete two years of Spanish, and decided to go abroad for my second year over the summer.
Quite honestly, I haven't put a lot of thought into what I am feeling before I go. Mostly I am just trying to get everything taken care of, like tonight I get to pay my tuition to the program. Good news is I have my flight booked and everything else taken care of, so my stress is mostly gone.
Below there is a picture from Buenos Aires, and I must say when looking at the city it was not what Iw as expecting. Every picture I've seen from Argentina has been the ranch hands at the ranchos or the cowboys riding out in the desert. There are never any pictures of cities of urban centers so to find out I was going to be living in and urban center was a big adjustment to my view of the country.
I don't know a lot about Argentinean culture, just that they like soccer and are catholic. I have the catholic part down, so now I get to work on the soccer part. Honestly, I decided to go to Rosario because I don't know anything about the culture there. I thought it would be amazing to learn a lot about an outside culture that I had never really encountered so I can come in open and ready to learn.
Next week I plan on writing about my life here at Western and back home in California before I head out. I look forward to posting again so soon!

European Offense Aligns For Top Competition At Largest Ever Melges 32 World Championship
13 September 2012
Newport, RI - USA - On September 20-29, the International Melges 32 Class Association (IM32CA) will hold its fourth and largest World Championship ever, hosted by the New York Yacht Club (NYYC). Thirty-four Melges 32s representing eight countries have registered to compete for the class' most coveted title. As expected, the final field of competitors is one of the strongest and most talented laden including twenty-one teams from the United States, six from Japan, four from Italy and one each from Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Turkey, Switzerland and Sweden.
One team in particular that has great aspirations of victory in Newport is Mascalzone Latino owned by Italy's Vincenzo Onorato, current leader of the 2012 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series and European Champion.
"We have sailed in Newport many times and have won two major international titles here." says Onorato. "Now, I am really proud to come back with my Melges 32 team. I am satisfied with the first part of the 2012 season, and the Mascalzone Latino team is ready for the most important appointment of all - the World Championship, organized by the New York Yacht Club. We have been sailing a lot this year in the U.S. and we have participated in every Audi Sailing Series event completed thus far."
With 2008 470 Olympic Gold Medalist Nathan Wilmot as tactician, and the additional likes of Alberto Bolzan and Andrea Ballico, Onorato is clearly prepared to position himself to win.
Onorato's next greatest rival from Europe is fellow Italian owner Lanfranco Cirillo aboard Fantastica. Cirillo, endearingly referred to by everyone in the fleet as 'Momo', packs a real punch of consistency with Michele Paoletti as tactician, Niccolo Bianchi and Claudio Celon forming the core of this very successful Melges 32 team.
Winner of the 2011 Audi Sailing Series, Cirillo knows what it will take to be victorious. "We have been sailing a lot this year, but in Newport, we go to have fun."
Italian standout boats Bombarda, owned by Andrea Pozzi with tactician Gabriele Benussi and Torpyone, owned by Edoardo Lupi with Branko Brcin on tactics are making a first-time, North American appearance.
The Japanese will also be well represented at Worlds with an impressive six teams. "The Melges brand is fairly new to Japan and becoming more and more popular everyday." says Melges Japan representative Kan Yamada. "The Melges 32 is great fun and offers up the very best one design racing competition in the world. It is just incredible to have Japan represented in this arena."
From Keisuke Suzuki aboard Swing with tactician Jesper Radich, to Roberto Tomasini Grinover's Robertissima locked and loaded with the legendary Vasco Vascotto on tactics, the European and Australasian offense looks promising.
The 2012 Melges 32 World Championship will present five days of competition and a fantastic social events schedule. Onsite registration will begin on September 20th, Pre-Worlds warm-up competition will be held on September 22nd and 23rd, and five days of full on World Championship racing starts on September 25th running through September 29th. Worlds never fails to be an event of epic proportions with excellent, competitive racing.
Post Worlds, the final chapter of the 2012 Audi Sailing Series concludes in Naples on October 19-21.

The New York Yacht Club was formed in 1844 onboard the yacht Gimcrack anchored off the Battery in New York Harbor. The Club's first Cruise was held later that summer bound for Newport, Rhode Island. A year later, the Annual Regatta was begun and the 158th edition was held in 2012. In 1901, the Club's burgee was hoisted over the spectacular beaux-arts style building, designed by Whitney Warren and known for its Model Room and Library, which serves as the Club's home in the heart of Manhattan. Harbour Court, the Club's first permanent waterfront facility commissioned in 1988, overlooks Brenton Cove and Newport Harbor and has become the focal point of many premier regional, national and world sailing championships. The original clubhouse, a small gingerbread trimmed house constructed in 1845 in Hoboken, NJ, now sits on the sloping lawn at Harbour Court. The history and tradition of New York Yacht Club is rich and storied, from winning and defending the America's Cup from 1851 to 1983, to running transatlantic races, cruising, racing, teaching, leading... all distinguished by an enduring passion for yachting.

Not at all. The reason being is simple scriptures like, "
"And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also I must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd."
—John 10:16 "
They will be like, "well the other flock were these aliens." If the aliens do not have religious belief then it will be pushed of as they are actually demons. This is an example of the many excuses theist will use to defend their faith.
It's definitely possible to disprove Christianity today. But the problem is.... the brainwashed Christians are programmed to ignore logic. Sigh...... :/

As party rebuilds, Democrats seek a new DNC leader
As party rebuilds, Democrats seek a new DNC leader
Democrats are beginning the process of rebuilding their party by choosing a new national chairman charged with turning widespread opposition to President Donald Trump into more election victories.
With the outcome of Saturday's vote uncertain, former Labor Secretary Tom Perez and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison are making a final push to cajole support from the hundreds of state party leaders, donors and activists who make up the Democratic National Committee.
Perez supporters say he's on the cusp of the required majority. Ellison maintains that he is still a viable candidate. A handful of other candidates are holding out hope that neither Ellison nor Perez can command a majority, opening up the race for an upset in later rounds of voting.

Promoting women in leadership positions in science and technology fields—while bridging the gap between science and business—is a cause Rochester Institute of Technology professor Jie Qiao stands behind.
The Optical Society of America invited Qiao, associate professor in RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, to discuss her efforts to advance women's influence in science and business. She will present "WiSTEE: Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Entrepreneurship" at the Minorities and Women in OSA Networking Reception at the society's annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., on Oct. 7.
Prior to joining RIT this fall, Qiao founded WiSTEE: Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Entrepreneurship at the University of Rochester as a professional network for collaboration and mentorship.
During the past decade, Qiao has worked at start-up companies, corporations and a national laboratory-setting research lab within academia, developing technology in optical metrology, optical instrumentation, short-pulse laser systems and applications, and photonics for optical communications.
"Along my career path, I came to recognize that there were few women in STEM field advancing to high levels in either academics or private industry," Qiao says. "I founded WiSTEE Connect to help women gain regional connections across universities and industries, and make a global impact."
Qiao envisions the organization reaching beyond the region. She presented WiSTEE Connect to close to 100 international attendees at the Optical Society of America-Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics Summer Session on Optical Engineering, Design and Manufacturing in Changchun, Jilin, China, on Aug. 6.
Qiao's research interests focus on optical metrology, optical instrumentations, adaptive optics, optical system design and performance evaluation, and ultrafast laser systems and applications. She was the principal investigator and project leader for developing an automatic interferometric technique, and for ultimately realizing the world's first 1.5-meter tiled-grating pulse compressor for the world's only kilojoule, petawatt OMEGA EP short-pulse laser user facility in Rochester.
Qiao holds two patents and has published and presented numerous scientific papers.
She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from the UR Simon School of Business.

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) travel through the bloodstream and stimulate the ovary into producing a ripe egg ready for fertilization by sperm during a normal ovulation cycle.
Release of estrogen
During a normal menstrual cycle, hormones stimulate the ovary, causing an egg to ripen. The uterine lining thickens, preparing itself for implantation of a fertilized egg, and the cervical mucus thins to help sperm reach the egg.
Release of LH
Changing levels of estrogen in the body causes the pituitary gland to release LH and FSH, stimulating the ovary to produce a ripe egg.
Birth control pill
The steady low levels of estrogen in birth control pills suppress FSH and LH, "fooling" the pituitary gland into thinking a woman is pregnant. Ovulation will then not occur, therefore preventing pregnancy.
Progestin in pill
The progesterone in birth control pills also creates a thick cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. It also impedes an egg from attaching itself to the uterine lining (endometrium) because of changes in the cellular structure of the lining.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the first time in three years MIT defeated national-power St. John's University, 14-13, in dual competition on Sunday at Brandeis University. The Engineers also picked up wins over Vassar College (19-8) and Boston College (17-10) before dropping a tough loss to Yale University (14-13). Tech's record now improves to 7-1 on the year.
The foil team was a force to be reckoned with as it won in every match, which resulted in a 28-8 ledger. A 9-0 win against St. John's was pivotal in MIT's slim win over the Red Storm. Spencer Sugimoto led the way with an 11-1 mark while Jason Chen and Benjamin Switala finished with records of 10-2 and 7-5.
With a total of 7-5, William Walsh helped led the sabre squad to a 19-17 ledger. Brian Quattrochi and Igor Kopylov both finished at 6-6 on the day. In epee competition, Michael Beregovsky and Trevor Chang each tallied marks of 7-5 en route to a team record of 16-20.

Before Miley Twerked: Get to Know History's 12 Most Scandalous Women
Allow us to make the introductions. From Mae West to Madonna, we've rounded up the best and baddest of the bunch. Buckle your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

The bawdy blonde actress was known as much for her busty sex appeal as her ribald one-liners ("I've been on more laps than a napkin!"). Undeterred after her first Broadway play, Sex (1926), landed her in jail on obscenity charges, she went on to become one of the major theater and film stars of the first half of the 20th century. West was also an early supporter of civil rights. When management prohibited her African-American lover from entering her apartment, she simply bought the whole building.

Although a talented stage actress, Bankhead is perhaps best remembered for her flamboyant personality and libertine lifestyle. Always the life of the party, she was a member of the famed Algonquin Round Table and a popular Hollywood hostess. Outspoken about her lax approach to both drugs and sex, she could always be counted on for a titillating sound bite ("Cocaine isn't habit forming. I should know—I've been using it for years.")

Onscreen, Monroe may have played the naïve bombshell, but off screen, she was wise to the currency of her curves. To wit, she posed nude in Playboy as the first Playmate of the Month and —rumor has it—went commando during the famous subway grate scene in The Seven Year Itch. Then, there was President Kennedy's 45th birthday gala, where Monroe's breathy performance of "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" turned a wholesome children's song into an oversexed siren call to Kennedy (with whom she was reportedly having an affair). Well played, Marilyn.

As the author of the groundbreaking 1962 advice book, Sex and the Single Girl, Gurley Brown paved the way for an army of Carrie Bradshaws, encouraging women to be financially independent and engage in, nay, enjoy sex before marriage. She subsequently took the helm of Cosmopolitan as the Editor-in-Chief and spent the next 32 years spreading the gospel of fab fashion and better orgasms.

Born James Lawrence Slattery, Darling's transformation into a glamorous Old Hollywood-style blonde caught the attention of Andy Warhol, who added her to his constellation of Superstars. Openly transsexual during an era when homosexuality was considered taboo, Darling was a pioneer whose life was tragically cut short at 29 by leukemia. Yet even during her final days, she never lost her wicked sense of humor. "I am just so bored by everything," she wrote in a goodbye letter to friends. "You might say bored to death."

Before Joplin, rock 'n'roll was primarily a boy's club where women were either installed as the pretty face of the band (see: Michelle Phillips) or relegated to backup singer. Joplin could go toe to toe with any of her male peers, thanks to her powerful yet husky pipes and unladylike stage presence (she was prone to swearing and swilling from a bottle of Jim Beam).

At 16, Styrene (a.k.a. Marianne Joan Elliot-Said) saw the Sex Pistols perform and thought she could do better. So she formed a band, X-Ray Spex, and, with her garish outfits and mouthful of braces, became one of punk rock's more outrageous personas. Styrene later joined the Hare Krishnas but not before she stuck it to the man with rebellious anthems like "Oh Bondage Up Yours!"

And so we arrive at the agent provocateur par excellence, Her Madgesty. From her pornographic coffee table tome to her lip-lock with Britney Spears, Madonna has spent the better part of her career courting controversy and making bad girl behavior marketable. She set the pace for virtually every pop princess that came after her, a fact which —no surprises here— she's always happy to mention.
How could we not include the woman who said of former flame, Trent Reznor, "Don't call your band Nine Inch Nails if you have a three-inch one"? Brash, loud, and always inappropriate, Love emerged in the spotlight as the lead singer of grunge band, Hole, and has somehow managed to remain there ever since. Never one to shy away from a juicy celebrity feud, she most recently went on record to say that Miley Cyrus had "a cr*p stylist." Meow.

In her 20s, Jolie was a wild child to say the least. In interviews, she spoke openly about her fondness for knife-play, drugs, and bisexuality. And then there was that lingering kiss with her brother at the 2000 Oscars that raised as many eyebrows as questions. Former husband Billy Bob Thornton didn't prove to be a good influence either; the couple reportedly wore vials of each other's blood. Of course, all that is behind Jolie now that she has Brad and their brood. So if you happen to cross paths, it's probably not wise to bring it up.

Rapper Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam (a.k.a. M.I.A.) is a lighting rod for controversy. Her politics, specifically her support of Sri Lankan militant group, Tamil, landed her on the U.S. Homeland Security risk list in 2006 while her 2010 "Born Free" video was pulled from YouTube due to its footage of U.S. soldiers beating people with their guns. She's also no friend to the mainstream media and famously tweeted The New York Times journalist Lynn Hirschberg's phone number after she penned an unfavorable profile. Oof. That's harsh.
A classic case of a good girl gone bad, Rihanna evolved from a cheerful pop star who would let you stand under her "umbrella" to a black leather-clad vamp who claimed that "whips and chains" excited her. These days, she chronicles her naughty exploits on her Instagram account, which is filled with images of the singer puffing marijuana and posing provocatively like this, and this, and oh, also this.

Craig Alexander Wears His Heart on His Helmet
Pro ambassador Craig Alexander is a three-time IRONMAN and two-time 70.3 world champion, but he's just as proud of being a dedicated dad.
By Kevin Mackinnon
The helmet says it all. Craig "Crowie" Alexander is one of the most successful athletes our sport has ever seen – a three-time IRONMAN world champion, two-time 70.3 world champ and second on the all-time triathlon prize money list (to Greg Bennett) thanks to his numerous wins across the globe.
But what comes first for Alexander is family, which is why there's always been a reference to his wife, Neri, along with children Lucy and Austin on each custom-painted helmet his sponsor Road ID delivers to him just days before each championship. Since the Alexanders were expecting their third child just days before the IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Championship Melbourne last month, his latest depicted a crow delivering a baby in a pink blanket.
The Melbourne race also served as the first event the 39-year-old Alexander was racing as an official IRONMAN pro ambassador.
"It was a huge honor to be asked," Alexander says. "It's also nice to be invited to sit on the athlete advisory board to speak on behalf of athletes. IRONMAN is showing that they're looking to take input from athletes – hopefully I can provide that."
Alexander hopes to be able to use his new position to provide mentorship and support for younger athletes as they "work their way through the ranks." Which doesn't mean he's any less focused on his own career: He's as determined as ever to return to both Henderson, Nevada and Kailua-Kona to reclaim the world titles he held in 2011.
"I'm the kind of ambassador who is going to try and beat all the athletes on the head," he says. "When I race, I race to win."
While he didn't defend his title in Melbourne last month, the fact that Alexander even made it to the start line was impressive. At 3:05 a.m. on the Tuesday morning before the race, Neri gave birth to their third child, Lani May. Two days after his pre-race all-nighter, he was on a plane to Melbourne for sponsor appearances and to prepare for one of the biggest races of the year.
"The challenge is that I am on such an emotional high, it's hard to channel that into the race," he said two days before the championship. "We knew the timing of this race and the timing of the birth. There's a lot of races to do … the major priority was the arrival of bub number three. It worked out perfectly."
We'll be seeing lots of Alexander in the IRONMAN world this summer. He'll be part of our coverage team for IRONMAN 70.3 St. George, which will serve as the US Pro Championship, and he'll be racing at IRONMAN 70.3 Kansas in June. Then, of course, we'll see him back in Las Vegas and Kona, where he hopes to add two more world titles to his resume.
We're excited to announce four IRONMAN pro ambassadors for 2013, and will introduce them over the coming weeks. Meet ambassador Jordan Rapp and read his thoughts on the 2013 season.

Well the wait is finally over. The puck has dropped and the season is under way. I think I've been looking forward to this ever since the doctors cleared me to play after the concussion. The thought of not being able to play really re-ignited my love for the game again and definitely made me work hard during the summer.
As most of the hockey world knows, this off season has been really dark for the hockey community. With the deaths of Wade Belak, Rick Rypien and Derek Boogard over the summer and of course the devastating loss of the entire Yaroslav Lokomotiv team. It wasn't an easy wake up this morning, after receiving a news alert to say that the surviving player Alex Galimov had passed away due to the injuries he sustained in the crash. I had held out hope that Galimov would pull through, despite the grave injuries he received. Never the less he put up one hell of a fight.
No matter what level you play this game at, losses like the ones mentioned above are terrible. Even if we don't know the players on a personal level, we've all watched them play and admired their skills they've displayed on the ice and the moments of jubilation they have provided to the fans of the game. I don't even want to begin to imagine what the players' families and friends are going through, but looking at the pictures and videos from the memorial services around the globe, the loss is visibly heart breaking.I've read stories that have reduced me to tears and seen fans remember the players in a way that has brought a smile to my face, not because the stories were funny, but because they were so touching and you could tell how much the game and the guys meant to people all around the world.
As we started our season, we respected those who lost their lives and remembered their families in the Yaroslav plane crash and the 9/11 disaster by a minutes silence. Personally I was touched by the rink falling totally silent for a minute as we paid our respects to the lives lost. To me, it doesn't matter what level of the game we play the game, we are all part of the same hockey community and regardless of skills or ability, the reasons why we play the game are much the same.
In closing, my thoughts go out to the victims' families and friends at this difficult time.
Our first game was something that we wanted to skate away with a W under our belts and that we did. We played an amazing first period in the game took command early on. We were hungry to win this game since it was our first game of the year and given that our last season's games ended in us losing both of them.
There are lots of positives we can all take away from the game, though we did take our foot off the gas in the third. Hockey is a 60 minute game (or 65 if you're lucky enough to play overtimes) so the work ethic must be there throughout the game. But after all it was the first game of the year. Yet we can't use that as an excuse as teams we will be facing from now on will have games under their belts and will probably get the wind of our success. I'm not taking anything away from the team, but we have to work hard moving forwards. The win was awesome no bones about it!
Personally I enjoyed playing, up until midway through the second when my skates started chewing my feet to bits. As I write I've got blisters on both my feet and they feel puffy. The skates have been on their way out. Looking at prices for new skates, they cost more than our fridge freezer! Seriously!!! For the money some of these skates retail at I'm hoping they cook me my breakfast and serve it in my bed.
There's some exciting stuff coming up on this blog so keep your eyes peeled. I'm looking to do some video blogging, which will probably scare off the readers as they'll have to look at my ugly mug.

Calling it the "last chance for real farm bill reform," 71 conservation, environmental and anti-poverty groups sent a letter to members of the U.S. Senate, urging them to vote for the Dorgan-Grassley payment limit amendment when the farm bill comes to the floor.
Both the Food and Energy Security Act reported out by the Senate Agriculture Committee and the House-passed farm bill have different payment limits than current law, but the groups say neither does enough to reduce farm payments to commercial-sized farming operations.
The Dorgan-Grassley amendment, which its authors, Sens. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, have said they will introduce when the farm bill comes up for debate the week of Nov. 5, would put a "hard cap" of $250,000 on payments to individual farmers and their spouses.
"The time has come for real reform that closes loopholes and caps mega-farm subsidies," the letter said. "The Agriculture Committee bill is not reform. It would impose no reduction in payments on the vast majority of the nation's mega-farms."
The letter also said the committee bill's phased-in adjusted gross income limit of $750,000 for persons who receive less than two-thirds of their income from farming would have "little effect."
"It prohibits high-income non-farmers from directly receiving farm payments," the letter notes. "But most of these non-farmers are landlords, who, given the opportunity, will switch to cash rents. Doing so will enable their tenants to receive the payments, which will then be returned to the landlord in the form of cash rent payments."
In a press release accompanying the letter, the organizations said the Dorgan-Grassley amendment would limit all payments to $250,000, close loopholes in current rules and shift the savings to beginning and minority farmers, conservation, rural development, and nutrition and anti-hunger programs.
The Dorgan-Grassley payment limitation reform amendment, the press release said, would address "public and taxpayer concerns that a small percentage of producers receive the lion's share of payments and that these payments contribute to farm consolidation and the demise of family farms.
"The House and Senate agriculture committees unfortunately failed to change the status quo of mega payments to mega farms," said Ferd Hoefner, policy director for the Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. "It's now up to the full Senate to show responsible leadership by re-affirming its support for reasonable commodity payment limits and passing the Dorgan-Grassley amendment."
Its authors estimate Congress would save $1.15 billion over 10 years by passing the Dorgan-Grassley amendment. The savings would provide funding for a number of social and environmental programs.
"The Dorgan-Grassley amendment is good for rural communities who have seen large farms get larger and mid-sized farms get squeezed out," said Hoefner. "It is high time the taxpayer was not forced to subsidize this destruction. We cannot wait for the next farm bill to come along to make these simple changes that are good for family farmers, rural communities, and taxpayers."
Signers of the letter include Agricultural Missions, Inc., American Agriculture Movement, Bread for the World, Center for Rural Affairs, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, Environmental Working Group, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Family Farm Defenders, Izaak Walton League of America, Oxfam America.
California Food and Justice Coalition, Catholic Charities of Louisville Parish Social Ministry Department, Cornucopia Institute, Georgia Organics, Iowa Farmers Union, Maine Food Security Group, Soil Born Farm, Urban Agriculture Project, Sacramento, The Minnesota Project, Western Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (WSAWG).

Buck is being tested for disease.
The way Mark Christianson tells it, in his lilting Old Country accent, the deer started the fight.
"I was going out to finish spraying the soybeans," he said. "I stepped out a side door, and we saw each other, and he started coming closer.
"He was pummeling me, standing on his hind legs and hitting me with the front ones. He hammered me good, rapid fire, and I thought, 'Well, this isn't good.' I wasn't winning, so I grabbed him and tackled him and we both went down on the ground."
We don't have the deer's account because, after losing the kick-boxing and wrestling portions of this North Woods triathlon, Christianson shot the eight-point whitetail buck, which had brought antlers and attitude and a strong left hoof to the fight but nothing to match Christianson's 30-06 rifle.
The confrontation, which left Christianson, 66, with black eyes and pink-to-purple bruises over his arms, shoulders and chest, occurred last Thursday as he stepped outside his farm home about 10 miles southeast of Fertile.
Mark and his wife, Judy, 65, had seen the deer days before, brazenly hanging out in their yard, sampling Judy's potted impatiens and ignoring all attempts to shoo it away.
"We sometimes have 17 or 18 deer in the yard here, but we have a hard time getting a picture," she said. "You open the door a little and — phfft — they're gone. They're usually so sensitive.
"But this one, I would stomp my feet and it wouldn't go away."
Two days before the fight, Mark came upon the deer near a shed. "He was 8 feet away, and instead of being scared he came right up to me. I went inside, and he stuck his nose right up against the window. Then he banged his antlers against the wall."
As he left the shed and ran toward the house, the deer followed, and Christianson ducked into the back seat of a 1992 Bonneville that had been retired to a side yard.
Later that day, Judy stepped out to hang clothes on a line and turned around to find the deer facing her. The next day, they watched as the buck feasted on a flaming crabapple tree.
On the third day, last Thursday, Judy had been napping when she was startled to hear her husband hollering.
"He got me!" he cried. "He got me!"
"Mark was dripping blood all over, and his ear looked like it had been tore off," she said. "He was shaking and trying to load bullets into his gun. I didn't know what to think."
The buck was still standing its ground.
"I gut-shot him where he was, then saw he went down at the edge of the hill over there," he said, gesturing through a thick stand of old oaks. "I got him a couple more times there."
The deer had sounded "wheezy" and sick, Christianson said, so he had contacted the Norman County Sheriff's Office and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources even before the animal picked a fight.
Blane Klemek, wildlife supervisor for the DNR's Detroit Lakes area, said the deer carcass was sent to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in St. Paul. Disease specialists there have ruled out rabies but continue to check for other diseases, such as chronic wasting disease or Lyme disease.
He said the deer had no tags or other indications that it was a domestically raised deer.
"It did have a fair number of liver flukes (parasites) in its liver," he said, but it's unclear whether that would explain the animal's unusual behavior.
"It is an odd one," Klemek said. "Deer normally are afraid of people. We don't know why this one would attack this guy. But it's always a concern when we get calls from the public about an animal acting strangely."
Friends "have given me some grief about it all," Christianson said Wednesday. "They said they don't believe my story. They say, 'It's the wife.'"
An Amish family lives close by with three small children who often play outside, and Judy had gone over to sound a warning about the deer. After Mark's bout with the buck, the family brought over a lemon pie, Mark's favorite, and a card. The children — Magdalena, 4, Sylvia, 2½, and Perry, 11 months — signed the card with hand prints.
"So sorry you got hurt," the card read.
Christianson said he was too sore to sleep the first two nights after the attack. Blows near his eyes caused blackening about the sockets and bent his glasses, but he said he's grateful the deer didn't damage his eyesight.
The sorest bruise was to his right shoulder, probably due to his sudden take-down move, and couldn't raise his right arm for days. "Friday morning, he had a bowl of Cheerios in front of him," Judy said. "He just sat there, holding the spoon. I said, 'You'd better use your left hand.'"
And how would Mark respond if another bellicose buck showed up and tried to pick a fight?
"I wouldn't wait three days to get my rifle."
