BUCS Division Two South Playoff Predictions
Playoffs are upon us, and with the postseason getting underway we shift the format of our predictions to consult our entire Uniball team on who they think will be progressing to the second round!
Remember, conference champions have already been locked in as promotees, so all that's at stake in the Division Two Playoffs now is a handful of BUCS points… And a whole lot of pride!
Canterbury Chargers (#1) vs UCL Emperors (#8)
The Emperors put in an impressive rookie season, finishing out with a 4-2 record. However, they took heavy defeats when facing off against the stronger programmes in their home conference, so there's likely some concerns about how far they can go in playoffs.
The Chargers meanwhile put up their first undefeated season despite their small roster. It was far from comfy however, with a couple of come-from-behind victories necessary to lock up a conference that was plagued by withdrawals and postponements this season.
Brunel Burners (#2) vs Bristol Barracuda (#7)
The Burners fell short when it mattered most last season, so it's fair to say they came into this year with very clear goals, and perhaps a bit of a chip on their shoulders. Still, this year there were no stumbles and they've performed well in every outing, including finding ways to rack up points despite their clock-consuming offence, and consistently making big plays on D.
The 'Cuda meanwhile will likely once again be frustrated by another 'not quite' season. They opened and closed the year with losses to Plymouth and Gloucestershire, and blew everyone out of the water entirely in-between! They appeared to be the on-form team in the conference heading into the mid-season break, but finished the year with two disappointingly pedestrian performances on offence – a single score win over Bournemouth, followed by a shut out against the Gladiators.
Plymouth Blitz (#3) vs Southampton Stags (#6)
The Blitz's 16/17 season has actually been unerringly similar to their 15/16 one – strong performances when their roster's healthy, huge slumps in form when they're missing key personnel.
Luckily for the Blitz however, the timing's different this time around and while they saw a slump in form ahead of the Christmas break – seeing them suffer a shock defeat to the Bobcats – they're hitting the postseason at the healthiest they've been all year and after racking up their second straight conference crown will be eager to get the playoff monkey off their backs – the Plymouth side have been one and done the last two times they entered the postseason!
They Stags meanwhile will have been disappointed to not have achieved their goal of promotion this season, however the programme's clearly one that's on the mend after a few years of struggles. They've got a big roster and one of the most experienced and successful Head Coaches in Uniball history so don't be surprised to see them overcome their single-loss season and make a big splash in the postseason. A powerful ground attack could yet punish the Blitz who had no answer to Portsmouth's devastating ground game last season.
Gloucester Gladiators (#4) vs QMBL Vipers (#5)
The Gladiators were likely 40-odd seconds of disarray away from their first every conference crown this year… However, mistakes in their final seconds of their first half against Plymouth cost the Gladiators BIG, and another year in the bottom tier lies ahead of them. However, they proved this year they can win big – with a #50Burger over Bath Spa in a half of running clock football – and win tough – grinding out a 3-0 win over Bristol to close out the season and lock up the #2 spot in the conference.
QMBL meanwhile have had a very impressive rookie season. While many other London University clubs have struggled to sustain numbers or had problems with finding venues, the Vipers hit the ground FAST in 16/17 – despite only recruiting their head coach with a few weeks to go before the season kicked off! They've got a big roster, and some experienced ballers heading things up.
Even were there postseason to end here, the Vipers and fellow Rookies, UCL, have already lined themselves up a charity game – inspired by being tied together in our Power Rankings early in the season!
There we have it 'Nation – but who are YOUR picks to make it through the first round of playoffs in the southern half of Division Two?

If former Amherst County Supervisor Rufus Scott is still around, he is probably in his 80s and crankier than hell watching all the insanity that is transforming his great nation into culture of complainers and dependents.
Thirty years ago almost to the week, when I was still a young man chasing dreams and time was still a friend, I had the occasion, as a reporter in Virginia, to interview an Amherst County Supervisor named Rufus Scott.
Scott was one of those throwbacks of a man not enamored by modernity or the popular trends of his day. Scott had been a pilot in World War II, an engineer and professional manager for a time, but gradually he found his way back to the land and spent many days in overalls and boots working his own land. He was probably in his 50s when I traveled to his farm in December 1982 to explore his world and his thought.
He was an impressive guy for a number of reasons. He looked and spoke like a rural Clark Gable of the Gone with the Wind era. Full of self confidence and always outspoken, he was a man comfortable in his world but deeply concerned with the trends he saw unfolding in those days.
I had decided to profile him in the Lynchburg paper where I worked after watching him defy the prevailing winds on the Board of Supervisors and speak his mind with old fashioned common sense. I suppose he was a conservative by today's standards, but labels did not confine his thought. As he put it, he disappointed conservatives who opposed thoughtful local government expenditure even as he resisted liberals who sought to legislate as if money fell to the ground like Autumn leaves .
Scott was a Jeffersonian, a phrase still understood 30 years ago when politicians paid lip service to notions of limited government. He resisted the use of federal dollars, even those that would have flowed to his own farm, and demanded accountability for local dollars spend to enhance growth and prosperity. A dollar taken from a tax payer was treated with serious respect, as if that dollar had been earned by the sweat of another's brow.
Trying to tame the appetites of government was the dominant issue around which the Reagan revolution revolved and Scott was clearly an independent thinker who gravitated toward the Reagan movement. There was in Scott's philosophy of government an understanding of three basic principles, all held deeply and passionately.
1. Men are not angels. Consequently, their appetites, if whetted and unleashed from the constraints of tradition, will spiral out of control. For that reason, it was absolutely essential that we not lose the language of individual moral responsibility.
2. His love of the land was both spiritual and practical. Human beings, to live truly free, must have the capacity for self reliance. They must be able to protect themselves and their family, raise at least some of their own food, and feel an obligation to their neighbors that was not mandated by governmental edict.
3. Generosity should spring from the heart. Need should be met, but personal pride should also be cultivated and nurtured. In the world of Rufus Scott, dignity was there for every person to grasp — provided they were committed to work and to contribute to the community as a free and independent citizen.
As we stood by his pick-up truck in a foot of snow, more falling angelic like fromt the sky, he said bluntly that human beings were shaped and formed in nature. Without a healthy connection to tradition and nature, he suggested, human beings gradually lose their way. Children raised without pride and a sense of self reliance are far more likely to become adults who are dependent on others for their own well being. Love of man and nature were rooted in a spiritual place that Scott did not seek to define, but somehow acknowledged in his long silences as he lifted his eyes to the surrounding mountains and the gray winter sky.
Today, of course, we live in an increasingly urban world. The amount of land destroyed in Virginia to make way for malls and developments has rendered my old stomping grounds virtually unrecognizable in barely a generation. Similar trends can be found in many other areas of the country — in Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee, places I know or have visited during the past couple of decades.
The Rufus Scotts in the world, vastly outnumbered, have not been able to turn back the developers, the expanding state or the maddening addiction to technology. We live closer together and work and travel like animals on tread mills, but our interest in one another and in our communities is increasingly a vehicle of self promotion — every one must be a star, apparently, even if it comes at the cost of our dignity and humanity.
I would suggest, nevertheless, that there is a connection between the destructive, rapacious, money centered developer and the Obama approach to government: the unencumbered appetite for more. The problem is that more is less. More shopping means less open land and fewer trees. More government shrinks rather than expands the economic possibilities for all. The expanding state is puts all of us in enormous debt and forces more and more of us to turn to government for those things we ought to provide to ourselves. As for the self reliant man and women, they are disappearing breed.
If Rufus Scott is still around, he is probably in his 80s and crankier than hell watching all the insanity that is transforming his great nation into culture of complainers and dependents. One thing I do feel certain of — there are fewer and fewer people like him haunting the halls of government these days, and that is bad news for our nation.

The Alien prequel. Script details were recently leaked then removed, by according to ShadowLocked.com, the film includes some tough lesbian crew members. Does this mean they found a way to clone Private Vasquez?
Perfect Family. The new film stars Emily Deschanel and Angelique Cabral as her hot girlfriend. We're wondering which Deschanel sister's lesbian film will be best — Perfect Family or Zooey Deschanel's ceMay the most convincing gayschenel prevail!
Carol Leifer. Instead of pitching her half-hour spec script for Have a Great Day in the traditional manner, the out comic and writer is taking an entrepreneurial approach and hosting a star-studded table read for network and studio buyers and producers in LA. We suspect that Suze Orman would approve.
Revel & Riot. Founder Emy Storey, the artistic director behind Tegan and Sara's merchandise and album art, has created a company for and about the LGBT community. The merch is fun, political, gay-positive and fashionable, just like you.
Israel's Dancing with the Stars. Lesbian TV journalist Gili Shem Tov will be paired with a female dancer in the upcoming season of the competition. May we nominate Rachel Maddow, Wanda Sykes and Portia Lee James DeGeneres for the U.S. version when producers are eventually (and inevitably) shamed into following suit?
The Lip Service DVD. Universal will release the Season One DVD on November 15. Can Universal also say "region-free"? We sure hope so!
Las Aparicio. The first season of the Mexican TV show wrapped this week with Julia and Mariana getting hitched. Their domestic lives may turn out to be more filled with drama than bliss, but we still give them our blessing.
Skins America. The first promo for the US version of the beloved UK series was released this week. Sex, drugs, friendship, heartache and a teen lesbian named Tea. The countdown to the Jan 2011 premiere begins!
Spirit Day. The idea (from teenager Brittany McMillan) to wear purple on Oct. 20 to honor the teenagers who have taken their own lives in recent weeks and show support for LGBT youth who still face pressure and bullying was embraced by high-profile folks like Jewel, Dixie Chicks, Ellen DeGeneres, Kathy Griffin, Jane Velez-Mitchell, Jenna Ushkowitz and the cast of Glee.
The It Gets Better Project. The project, launched by writer Dan Savage and his partner, has amassed over 2000 videos and 10 million video views. Among those 2000 videos are one by President Obama and another by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The Talk. Sara Gilbert and company debuted their new View-style talk show this week. It was a bit light on substance (save for the Spirit Day discussion) and a bit heavy on "cupcake." (Ask co-host Leah Remini, she'll explain … and she'll try not to be "disgusting" when she does it.)
Michael Ausiello (aka "The Messenger"). The EW.com writer had some bad news for those fans who want to know if Quinn and Rachel will be hooking up on Glee. He says, "Sorry, no. If it's any consolation, it looks like the frenemies get fairly close to first base in the new GQ."
Piranha 3 DD. Dimension Films is rushing to get Piranha 3D in theaters by August 2011. We need more ridiculous faux lesbian eroticism, and we need it as quickly as possible!
The Young and the Restless. According to Soap Opera Digest, the CBS soap canned out actress Clementine Ford, whose last appearance will be Nov. 5. So much for the lesbian demographic!
French eBay. The company is hosting a contest in which the winners could live rent-free for a year in an apartment in Paris. The contest is open only to couples composed of "a male adult and a female adult." Whatever happened to gay Paris?
Byron Davis. The New Jersey metal band God Forbid member made offensive remarks about Lady Gaga ("I'm still not sure if she's a woman or not"), Lindsay Lohan ("I'd like to bang her cause she's a lesbian. It'd be fun; she can bring her friend with her") and Lil' Kim ("She's a dirty ho"). We'd like to open up a can of Otep Shamaya whupass on him. Jerk.
Homophobic security guards. A lesbian couple was asked to leave a Raleigh, NC mall by a security guard offended by their (tame) display of physical affection. Fortunately, one of the women, Caitlin Breedlove, is an experienced gay rights activist. She's already told her story on CNN and the mall property owners have apologized and are planning sensitivity training for security staff.
The Boy Scouts of America. The father of a 9-year-old Cub Scout was forced out of a leadership role with the Scouts and ordered not to wear its uniform because of his sexual orientation. But they'll still let him fund raise for them. Scout's "honor"?
Maggie Gallagher. In an editorial for The New York Post, the anti-gay bigot and president of the National Organization for Marriage argues that marriage equality wouldn't reduce LGBT teen suicides.
Ugandan Rolling Stone. The weekly newspaper published a list of 100 gay men and lesbians along with their photos and addresses, accusing them of "recruiting" children to homosexuality and calling for them to be hanged. Managing editor Giles Muhame said it was his duty as a journalist to "expose the evil in our society." And that he did.

Is Max Headroom now a reality? This was up for discussion in the panel on Racing With Machines at the 2017 NYC Media Lab's Machines + Media event in New York City last week.
Zorroa CEO Beth Loughney participated in the panel along with several veteran journalists and another technologist to discuss this topic. They all agreed that AI and machine learning will be great for automating processes, gathering data, and providing analytics, but those simply create more room for real reporting and journalism.
Visual search engines, facial recognition systems, and tag generators will be useful, especially as they serve up pertinent information to the journalists reporting the stories.
Real Journalism
The Washington Post and the New York Times have both seen significant increases in their online subscriptions, and much of it can be traced to the real journalism they have been engaging in. However, at least some of it is due to their willingness to adopt new technologies to aid the storytelling and engage readers in different media and points of interest.
The New York Times' Story(X) is dedicated to ensuring that the newest technologies are put into play—augmented reality, bots that work with Alexa and Echo, and AI-driven messaging apps.
The Washington Post is doing similar work—targeted tweets for the Twitter focused, digests to offer breadth to the busy, and, of course, award-winning long-form for those who still read in bed on a Sunday morning.
Bots & Blurbs
Even if bots are writing the blurbs, though, for the foreseeable future it's the editorial perspective of our most valuable outlets that will keep us coming back.
In an era when Cambridge Analytics can have a provable impact on public opinion and even elections, what do you think is the future of media? Have we lost the race with the machines?

Great article! I have a particular appreciate for item #1 - competitors are worth looking at, but there is also the risk that just becuase everyone else does something, that doesn't mean it's a good idea. I've witnessed that in testing and applying a concept to a business that, well, doesn't work really for that particular business (for whatever reason).
Design is about coming to the best solution that inspires everyone. Compromise may happen during this process - but the final result is not a compromise.

Benita Peiffer was keeping her expectations tempered entering the L.L. Bean U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships in Utah this week.
But even if they were higher, she'd likely have met or exceeded them.
Battling through some challenging conditions in Soldier Hollow, the 16-year-old won her under-18 class in the 7.5-kilometre classic mass start on Jan. 10 to cap off her week of racing.
"I was trying to put myself in a mindset of not comparing myself to anyone, because if I do that going into a race, I psych myself out. Especially going into this big of a group of girls, I don't know any of them, so it was easier for me to go in without expectations. I don't know how good any of them are," she said. "I just go and race how I usually race and hope it goes OK."
Classic is admittedly one of Peiffer's weaker disciplines and because of her biathlon commitments, a style of racing she's barely even had a chance to practice so far this season.
"I'm very weak in my classic skiing and that's something that I need to work on, so the fact that I had good results today means a lot to me and I was happiest with that," she said.
However, Peiffer also took a ninth-place finish in her division in the 10-km skate race. That was a big result as well given it was her first-ever competition of that distance.
"I was kind of scared about how I was going to pace myself, that I was going to go out too hard and then crash, but I reminded myself how I normally race," she said.
Her other race of the competition was the classic sprint, an event she wasn't even expecting to qualify for. Peiffer ultimately was third among the under-18s.
She pulled off the results in some less-than-stellar, not to mention less-than-familiar, conditions. Peiffer sought to minimize the effects of elements she couldn't control and went ahead slicing through them.
"It's been cloudy, snowy, rainy — not what I'm used to at all. Whistler is usually sunny," she said. "There are so many racers going through that the conditions are just so slushy. There were no tracks to ski in whatsoever (on Jan. 10). I'm definitely not used to not skiing in any tracks. The visibility's not great, either.
"I try not to think about it too much. I get super nervous before races, so if I think about anything else, it's going to make me extra nervous and not going to help me. I just try to think about positives and what I can do in the race."
Peiffer will return home for the Haywood NorAm Western Canadian Cross-Country Ski Championships at Whistler Olympic Park later this month before heading to Slovenia and Czech Republic for International Biathlon Union Junior Cup races.
"I'll be racing at a very high level over there. I'm not expecting to do great over there, but it's an experience that I'll never be able to get (otherwise)," she said.
While Peiffer was in Utah, other members of Whistler Nordics attended the Teck B.C. Cup #1 in Salmon Arm.
In the juvenile girls five-km classic race, Mila Wittenberg took the win, while Michael Murdoch topped the junior boys 7.5-km classic, edging teammate Mads Groeholdt. Joe Davies, meanwhile, placed third in the juvenile boys 7.5-km classic race.
Murdoch was the lone Whistlerite to medal in the sprints, taking second in the one-km free. Davies was third in his age group and sixth overall, while Wittenberg was fifth overall. Groeholdt, meanwhile, took 11th.
Complete results are available online at zone4.ca.
Deadline for Westerns, Teck Coast Cup approaching
Those looking to compete in the upcoming Haywood NorAm Western Canadian Cross-Country Ski Championships and Teck Coast Cup events must register quickly.
The deadline to sign up for the races, which will take place at Whistler Olympic Park from Jan. 20 to 22, is on Monday, Jan. 16.
Racing options, in order, will be: free technique sprints, classic interval starts and team relays.
There are also volunteer opportunities that still need to be filled.

In the Absence of Cable
Part of being a starving artist has included giving up cable television in the last few months. I have never been all that attached to TV but I have been surprised by what I find myself missing. The shows winning Emmys are not on my list.
Admittedly, I always liked the show "Hoarders." Give me the A&E version or even it's TLC rival and I am set. I love watching the family dynamics unfold as the hoarders defend their material belongings.
"A Hoarder's going to hoard," was a popular refrain in my living room during the times in which the show was on. While I took a detached joy in watching what was often clearly a tragic situation, it wasn't due to a lack of empathy on my part. I know that my cluttered shelves hardly qualify me but the tendency is there. How liable am I to collect the plastic cartons that previously held feta in theory to use again? That's the tricky part, the theorectically green mentality of recycling and reuse becomes insanity when taken too far. I'd like to think Hoarding is in reaction to the abundance our culture has afforded us. A vestigial instinct perhaps…
Hoarders seem to come in two varieties. The Poor and the Traumatized. The first group hoards stuff because they feel insecure having once had to go without. My Mom fits this "Hoarder" mold in the sense that she grew up in abject poverty and is therefore unwilling to part with what other people would consider "trash." she has in recent years furnished a vacation home entirely with materials she already had- she literally had a second house worth of stuff waiting in the wings.
Mom thought she was pretty much genius for not having to buy a thing. "That's the point of keeping everything," she has proudly said. It's perfectly reasonable in that sense but also in direct conflict with our consumerist culture's binge and purge cycle. Hoarders do great on the acquistion side of the cycle, but less well on the letting go part. Although, hoarding makes some sense on a bioevolutionary level. One might think Hoarders may be better off were an apocalyptic scenario to unfold. They'd have more stuff at least, assuming it's not one of those really filthy situations in which most of the stuff is totally unusuable anymore.
I admit to a lingering paranoia of my own, in which right after i've cleaned out my car of things like empty water bottles and fast food silverware I think, what if I now get stuck in some sort of disaster (an avalanche? an earthquake? lost in the desert?) and the supplies I am restricted to are the items from my car? Bear Grylls has traumatized me. Wouldn't I be sad to have tossed that silverware then?
Speaking of trauma,the other half of the Hoarders start collecting stuff to fill some emotional hole left after someone dies or leaves or robs them at gun point. I think those are the sadder situations but the "Hoard" usually looks identical. Did that noun always exist btw? Or did reality TV create it- "the Hoard!" I question the shows' propensity for forcing these "trauma-driven Hoarders" to confront whatever ails them. I saw one episode in which the camera followed one lady back to where her life had been threatened. As she looked visibly shaken and began to weep, I thought, hmm, if her current coping skills consist of rabid retail therapy are we sure this is safe for her? Not retraumatizing perhaps?
I felt similarly overprotective watching an episode in which a mother whose baby died in infancy was encouraged to let go of her now molding baby clothes. I thought if I had a baby who died, good luck prying those onesies out of my hands. Why shouldn't she get to keep at least one? The therapist argued that tattered clothing wasn't a great representation of her daughter's memory. In the confines of my living room I argued that sometimes that's the best you've got. Material belongings are a poor subsitute but they're something. Maybe i'm a Hoarder in training, one trauma away, look I'm already attached to my television.
Queer TV
I was watching television. Nothing special, whatever was on when the power button got pressed. In this case it was an episode of Law and Order:SVU- the one with Ice-T in it. The episode was about a cop who'd shown up dead- and in the twists and turns of the show it turns out despite having dated Mariska Hargitay's character, he was gay and HIV positive. His end came in relation to a circle of black men who were on "the down low." When he fell in love with and threatened to "out" one of them, he got killed in response. Ice-T got the dubious honor of explaining the concept of "the down low" to the TV audience.He framed it like being out and gay in the black community was neigh impossible and so gay black men are undercover as a result. Then when he confronted one of them he threatened to "out" them blackmail style in order to get his cooperation and in the process, says something like- "you have sex with other dudes- that makes you gay- period." And at home in the comfort of my living room, I thought well- that's not entirely true though. I mean, I'm sure there are black men living a lie due to cultural pressure and all, but some of those brothers are Bi too, and that complex possibility wasn't mentioned.
Hence perpetuating the misassumption that any man who has sex with men is gay and that bisexual men don't exist. LAME.
I actually saw a headline on Nerve.com that claimed, "Bisexuality exists," and was attached to some new scientific study. You don't say….So I was a little sad to realize that something so obvious could be still up for debate but then again in some places we're still arguing over evolution, when we share 98% of our DNA with a chimpanzee, so I don't know why I'm surprised at all on another level.
Anyhow, my day was saved by the commercial that came on afterwards.
It was a Tide commercial, featuring a mother who's got a child she can't seem to keep clean. The outstanding part comes in that the child is a "tomboy" and the mom comments as to her acceptance of her child's lack of gender normativity. It was something like, "She's never going to be the kind of girl who plays with dolls and keeps her clothes clean and I love her the way she is." That was the message if not the exact wording. It's the closest I've ever come to being brought to tears by a detergent commercial. I might even forgive myself and switch from my hippie version back to Tide and finally have laundry soap that works. The point is- when did TV get so Gay?
I'm in the audience of a game show called "Baggage." A show which features a sexy bachelor or bachelorette who chooses between three suitors, each of whom have three suitcases set in front of them. Those cases hold secrets that might make them less attractive mates. Stuff like sexual proclivities and past addictions, obssesions, quirks. I collect my nail filings. I used to be real fat. One guy's secret was that he lived communally- what horror!
As the show goes on they have to open those suitcases and admit to being the freaks they really are. Okay my choice of words not theirs… and We as an audience get to encourage the contestants to harshly judge their prospective mates. The camera pans to reveal shock and disgust in our faces. We have a guy showing us the appropriate faces to make. Jerry Springer the host then asks them to explain why this particular piece of information was a deal breaker-" So why can't you stand the idea that he collects Barbie Dolls? Tell me about that…"
I am wearing a cute summer dress as advised by the same casting service that has promised to pay me in cash at the end of the day. It's always fun to check out what people choose to wear to these things, their interpretation of the dress code. A lot of personal taste can come through "Business Casual".
Between takes I turn and scan the rows behind me, looking at the people who have come here to be paid in cash like me. I settle my gaze repeatedly on a handsome blond man, hair spiked with gel, sitting next to an aging bottle blond girlfriend.
There is something about him that makes me think "maybe you were once a woman" Something in his rocker/surf presentation, something in the cheekbones or the eyes. Gender is of course a reading of a set of culturally determined cues and as I steal glances I think- His hands aren't so big- He is big but no larger than the bigget and butchest of my moms-I imagine the face before the hormones, what that might look like.
I think to myself that it is all so subtle that only someone well-versed in the possibilities of gender queering like me would notice. You were passing and then I caught you. Then I wonder why I care at all. This person is living, passing as the gender of their choice so what do I care?
I love trans people- why am I staring at this one? Maybe because it was so close, I just couldnt be sure how to categorize them, not even cultured ol' me. That would be the ultimate suitcase secret for a show like this-but then it would most likely end with the person being rejected for being too different to accept and what fun really is that? Not my kind.
Don't get me wrong I love judging strangers just as much as the next guy- when one lady's secret was "I only do it on my sex towel", I was quick to think- No way, what freak that person is- how neurotic and bizarre.But right after that thought was the consideration of what could have possibly convinced these people to offer up themselves for judgment? That was the real freakiness of the whole thing for me. Did they need the cash worse than I (Hardly Possible)? Did they think they stood a chance at finding love through this hell (implausible)? Did they just want the attention? And what did that mean?
My godmother Helen gave me David Foster Wallace's "This is Water" this last weekend. It's the one commencement speech he gave before he died. The book had bits of wisdom on each page, small bites of it so it was perfect for the environment of reading during filming breaks.
It seemed to me it was saying that it was worthwhile to consider the experiences of others, to question
ones own natural self centeredness. That you aren't the only person who matters, there are others and they count too. That you get to choose to remove yourself from the position of judge and jury of the world around you and the needless suffering of ego. I think about how from a very young age I have known that thanks to my many mothers I am different, that there are others with different perspectives than mine. I have always known that people think they are right often when they don't know any better. This perspective has made me less self-righteous in my own pronouncements.
I think that being queer teaches you not to take for granted a lot of things that others don't think about.
I read an affecting article about a young trans child and her parents and their attempts to navigate the world. It isn't easy to be different but it is an education.
Back to Baggage- I spent the day mulling over what might be in my suitcases and how I felt about Secrets in general (Anti! Definitively so!). I checked out everyone else in the room and made uneducated guesses about what could be "wrong" with them. I felt blessed that this wasn't the only forum in life for getting laid.
Gay folks on TVI want my own talkshow on the Logo network and if I got it I would call it , " Lesbians, Lesbians, Lesbians…" and have it be about lesbians and the stuff they like. We could cover a lot of funny stuff I think. Maybe have it be like VH1's I love the 80's and have lots of fun graphics and comics commenting. Plus mainstream culture is headed in the gay direction anyways, on television, at least. Witness the two hit shows with gay dads, "Glee", in which the main character, (Lea Michele) has two fathers and in the TV show "Modern Family" the two gay dads are easily the most likeable characters. I'm glad of this as I doubt America is ready for any sort of a nuanced view of gay parenting. They aren't ready for flawed gay parents as they can barely treat the good ones right…and so Lesbians don't feel left out, this summer the movie, " The kids are all right" is coming out. Starring Anette Bening and Julianne Moore, it's about a girl with lesbian parents figuring out who her donor dad is- I couldn't help my first reaction being blind panic that that which is most precious to me will be misappropriated and exploited in mass culture. Still if it's happening I want in on it-So " Lesbians, Lesbians, Lesbians!" all the way….I already got the poster ready.

Trailer Park: 300 vs. Revenge of the Nerds or: How To Embrace Your Inner Geek
Article Date: March 16, 2007 | Publication: Quick Stop Entertainment | Author: Christopher Stipp
Source: http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/?p=3749
I ask only because there have been moments in the last week that seem to perfectly illustrate the idea of gripping that lingua franca of oddballs and about how some push it away as far as possible.
When you opened your newspaper, or clicked your way through Digg, on Monday morning the one piece of information which should be old news by now is 300's triumphant take at the box office over the weekend. It's success was never in doubt, just how much it was going to pull in was up to debate. I believe even the most aggressive pundits were short a few million in thinking how many people were going to show up to watch a bunch of dudes get all homosocial with one another and then go out to slaughter other humans. The story behind the story here is not so much its financial take but the way in which this movie moved from obscurity to full-on hype by the film's release.
It honestly started back in July of last year when Gerard Butler, Zack Snyder and the rest of the 300 crew showed up to try and create some momentum for the movie. What should have been a Meet-N-Greet turned into a love fest and it was all thanks to the bright lad at WB who thought, "Let's create the kind of preview that will leave people talking."
That was all that had to be thought up in order for this movie to have snowballed into the juggernaut it is today.
Where a lot of people, and by people I mean media hacks who want to lump every marketing campaign that uses the Internet as a means, not as an end, see viral marketing as a failed experiment that ended with the SNAKES ON A PLANE fiasco I can categorically state that the reason why SOAP failed was because it depended on GODZILLA-like ambiguity of its product.
There wasn't any way that those behind 300 did a little shuffle with their feet as the leached out just enough money shots, had those behind the film come out to embrace it and then followed-up with just small bursts of awareness campaigns that kept the movie in front of you, just not in front of every website and blog that would accept the marketing funds of a studio just hoping for a #1 bow.
So, what does this all have to do with REVENGE OF THE NERDS. Apart from the seemingly disparate time in which they were created and the kind of subject matter inherent in them, these movies show the power of support, support of the public variety.
I can understand that there are some actors that believe that participating isn't their bag and that the movie should be all that's important when it comes to the finished product but the funny thing about the Special Panty Raid Edition of NERDS has Curtis Armstrong, Robert Carradine, Timothy Busfield and the movie's director all providing a commentary track for the new DVD. Noticeably absent is ER's Anthony Edwards who, depending on what really happened, passed on the chance to put his personal stamp on a film that has really defined the nerd experience in the early 80's for a lot of people who grew up on this film. I can understand that Anthony just wants to forget this movie was what helped establish what would eventually become his empire but it's just disconcerting that Edwards would eschew this, being the one real hold-out from a cast that involves dudes who have went on to star in an Academy Award winning movie, a successful syndicated television show, an acclaimed television series that will forever provide a sweet royalty check and a director who, well, he made that one movie with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas that I didn't think completely sucked.
A movie of this comedic resonance deserved a Special Edition if for the only reason that as long as you thought something was funny about it years ago the movie still holds up as something that shouldn't be ashamed of, but embraced for what it is. It's great, real great, to see there were some of the pivotal people for NERDS that thought that, as puerile as it may be, it is what it is and so toss the geeks what they really want.
oint is, you have to admire guys who put on capes, acted in front of blue screens, brought a comic book to life and have no compunction about being proud for a movie that speaks to a large segment of the male population. You don't have to shout from the mountain about every piece of work you do but it's petty in a Sean Penn "I never want to talk about FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH" sort of way that's just glaring to witness. Whenever you take a check from someone you have to internalize it somehow, you obviously thought that trading your time for money was OK, and it was just plain great to see the men of this film just ignore the trappings that go along with what some think makes acceptable work of an actor and what does not.

This means that the pad that your motorbike helmet is constructed of needs to be the initial thing you peer at an internet to acquire one. Nowadays there are helmets that happen to be made from plastics that are crack resistant and so are extremely strong while still being lightweight enough to get comfortable when you ride. Generally, apple iphone 4 decoration of a helmet can give you a good suggestion of methods resistant it's going to be to affect.

Natalie threw a wrench into my crusade for the sanctity of the clitoris; "But Zac, aren't you Jewish?"
"Yeah, so? What's that have to do with anything?"
She looked down in the direction under the table and cleared her throat.
At that moment I realized the hypocrisy of my zeal. I was so humbled and dressed down that I concluded that when speaking of subjects as delicate as a culture's practices pertaining to the sexual organs – especially those of cultures that are not one's one – perhaps one should generally abstain from casting matters in sweeping judgments of "right" and "wrong". I'm not saying that one shouldn't criticize the genital practices of foreign cultures; sometimes one must. But perhaps we should limit our analysis to those things that we can prove at least somewhat scientifically and avoid subjective critiques of metaphysics and postmodern gender theory.
My friend Natalie isn't the only one who thinks that my righteous indignation against genital mutilation should apply to both genders. There is in fact a growing faction of feminists, human rights activists and lovers of the natural male form want to broaden the definition of assault to include those who circumcise the foreskin. The self-proclaimed "Intactivists" advocate for the preservation of "genital integrity" and an end to the practice of male circumcision – or "male genital mutilation" as they prefer to call it.
One such group known as the Bay Area Intactivists values the foreskin as a nerve-rich portion of the male genital organ. From their perspective, male circumcision is means of denying to a male and his future partner(s) the potential for maximum sexual satisfaction.
Other groups such as Intact America are organizing the opposition to male circumcision from comparatively more scientific, rationally more compelling grounds. If you read their literature, you get the sense that they represent a faction within the American medical community who oppose the practice under the logic that 1. the act of circumcision can be painful; 2. it can lead to infections and other harmful complications, and 3. removing the foreskin is not medically necessary.
Now the combined Intactivists of San Francisco have garnered enough signatures to put a referendum on the ballot which extend the definition of assault to those who circumcise males under the age of 18. If the proposition passes, the circumcising of a male's foreskin would be a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or up to one year in jail. The consent of the underage male in question would be irrelevant; a male could only consent to having his foreskin removed if he is a legal adult. There would be no religious exemptions.
The movement to utilize the compelling force of criminal law to prohibit male circumcision is not without foundation. After all, since federal legislation was passed in 1996, Section 116 of the U.S. Code has defined whomever "circumcises, excises, or infibulates the whole or any part of the labia majora or labia minora or clitoris of another person who has not attained the age of 18 years" as a perpetrator of assault. The Intactivists make a reverse-sexist argument that by creating a set of legal protections for women – but not extending those same protections to men – the continued legality of male circumcision is a violation of the Equal Protection Clause.
As much as this blogger disagrees with the claims of the Intactivists, I am equally critical of the campaign by the Anti-Defamation League and the American Civil Liberties Union who are arguing against the San Francisco ballot measure in terms of religious freedom. If a federal judge were to strike down a municipal ordinance banning male circumcision because it is a violation of the Jewish people's freedom to exercise our religion, then that same judge would have to uphold the right of West African Muslims to practice female genital mutilation on the same grounds. This would be an argument of cultural relativism; e.g. "Yes, it is a barbaric practice, but we live in a barbaric society in which cruelty and torture are woven into the fabric of our culture." This is not the argument that the defenders of male circumcision ought to take.
If defenders of circumcision are going to make a valid argument based on moral logic and reason, one must contend why the practice itself is not just a tolerable tradition with religious significance but actually a positive good with secular and tangible benefits. And moreoever, it doesn't hurt to deconstruct the logic for the argument against circumcision.
From what I gather after a comprehensive reading of their literature, the moral logic of the Intactivist movement runs as following:
1. Female circumcision is a cruel, inhumane practice which can cause disease and pain over the course of the victim's lifetime. (Given)
2. The only reason why cultures practice female circumcision is to make the act of sexual intercourse excruciatingly painful and undesirable. (Given)
3. Therefore, female circumcision is a form of assault (1, 2)
4. Gender is only a social construct, there is no substantive difference between men and women, in fact, the binary characterization of human beings as either men or women is a form of gendered chauvinism. (Given)
5. Therefore, male circumcision is also a cruel, inhumane practice (1, 4)
6. Therefore, the only reason why Western culture practices male circumcision is to make the act of sexual intercourse excruciatingly painful and undesirable (2, 4)
7. Therefore, male circumcision is a form of assault (5, 6) Q.E.D.
The crucial fallacy in this logical argument is postulate number 4. Though traditional gender roles and identities might be a mere social construction, it is more than fair to say that there is, in fact, at least one significant difference between the vast majority of individuals born as males or female; generally speaking, males are endowed with penises and females are endowed with vaginas. In light of this fundamental distinction, the removal of the clitoris and/or the labia should be banned while the removal of the foreskin should remain legal because there is in fact a very compelling case to be made that male circumcision and female "circumcision" are two very different operations performed on two very different organs which ought to be distinguished as such under law.
Intactivists' Sophistry #1: "Surgically removing part of a baby boy's penis causes pain."
If one were to practice circumcision with the same crude instruments and techniques as say, the Dogon tribe of Mali, then it is indeed an unnecessary painful procedure. The Dogons gather all of the uncircumcised boys 12 years old and up and to have the village blacksmith remove the boys' foreskins with a homemade blade which is not very sharp by Western standards – and they perform the operation without any sort of anesthetic. Perhaps this argument over pain might be valid if Jews in America were to practice circumcision in a way similar to the Dogons; if that were the case, maybe circumcision should be prohibited under law.
The modern Diasporic Jews of America, however, have developed a method of circumcising our boys at the age of eight days when the nerves of the appendage are not as sensitive as a pubescent boy and we utilize various means of anesthesia which all but eliminate pain. The most effective of these is nerve-block applied locally with a shot to the penis – a remarkably effective anesthetic which renders the applied area completely numb. Rabbinical student Josh Stanton and Dr. Anne Epstein write: "While the idea of an injection to the penis sets teeth on end, it is as close to pain-free as we can get in this sort of minor surgery… It hardly hurts."
Just about any operation involving the cutting of flesh – even an operation as minor as a tonsillectomy or the removal of an ingrown toenail – would be painful without anesthesia. But if the prick of a needle was reason to ban a medical procedure on the basis of pain, then banning circumcision would make no more sense than banning tetanus or polio vaccinations. In this day and age of modern anesthetics, the contention that circumcision should be banned because the procedure causes pain holds little ground.
Intactivists' Sophistry #2: "Male circumcision creates immediate health risks and can lead to serious complications."
Indeed, a botched circumcision could lead to an infection of the penis or worse. In cultures that perform this operation with crude tools and unsanitary conditions – such as the Dogon blacksmiths with their homemade iron blades – yes, the removal of a boy's foreskin does sometimes lead to more serious complications including not only local infections but hemorrhage, scarring, difficulty urinating, loss of part or all of the penis, and even death. According to the Center for Disease Control, between 2% and 8% of all circumcisions performed in African cultures lead to an infection or more serious complications.
However, such fears are essentially unwarranted in the developed West because we utilize modern medical practices, the doctors and mohels who perform circumcisions are rigorously trained, and we perform the operation in a sanitary environment. Even if the most basic aspect of male circumcision remains the same, the cleanliness of our foreskin-cutting arenas, our medical instruments and our practices make a world of a difference. Local infection is still nevertheless possible – but then again, even having your bellybutton pierced can lead to an infection if it is not done by the right person in the right place the right way.
Whether an adequately trained, certified mohel conducts a circumcision in a synagogue or if a bona fide doctor circumcises a baby boy in a hospital, the risk of immediate health risks with serious complications is extremely small. According to the CDC, the rate of complications due to male circumcision in the United States is around 0.2% of all cases – in other words, just about negligible.
Indeed, the medical Intactivists are correct when they argue that male circumcision can cause infections – there is that 1 case in 500 in which the circumcision does lead to a complication – but that fact cannot be adequately evaluated in isolation. In a study of circumcised boys in Washington State conducted over the course of a decade, it was found that for every circumcision complication there were 6 urinary tract infections prevented. Circumcision also reduces the chance of contracting human papillomavirus (and thereby penile cancer), genital herpes and HIV.
Intactivists' Sophistry #3: "Male circumcision is unnecessary" because "Claims that circumcision prevents HIV have repeatedly been proven to be exaggerated or false. Only abstinence or safe sex, including the use of condoms, can prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS."
At this point in the evolution of homo sapiens, the continued possession of a foreskin actually poses a risk to the health of males and those who have sex with them. The main reason why not circumcising a boy creates a health risk is that this vestigial structure creates a cavity which can retain smegma which can sit and fester, inviting bacterial and viral infection. Uncircumcised males are more likely to contract and transmit HIV than those who are circumcised, largely because the smegma which can be retained in the foreskin allows for the transmission of the virus to and from vaginal fluids. In addition, the foreskin has considerable surface area which renders the penis more susceptible to minor trauma and ulcerative disease – thus increasing the chance of transmitting the HIV virus.
A 2000 study of the relationship between male circumcision and heterosexual transmission of HIV in Africa noted "a substantial protective effect of male circumcision on risk for HIV infection"; finding that the risk of HIV infection in circumcised men was 44% lower than those who were uncircumcised. The strongest association between circumcision or lack thereof and HIV infection rates was found in high risk populations (e.g. patients at STD clinics) for whom the adjusted relative risk was 71% lower for those who had been circumcised. Another study conducted in 2003 found that the risk of HIV infection in circumcised men was 42% lower than their uncircumcised counterparts.
More macro-level epidemiological studies indicate that the practice of circumcision is not limited to the individual men but also the population as a whole; after all, if a man has contracted HIV due to his smegma-retaining foreskin, he is then liable to transmit the virus to his sexual partner(s), who are then liable to transmit the virus to their sexual partners, etc. African and Asian countries in which less than 20% of the male population has been circumcised have HIV infection rates several times greater than comparable African and Asian countries in which more than 80% of the male population has been circumcised. Of course, there are many other variable including religious mores and sexual norms which also vary among these countries, but the link between relatively high rates of circumcision and relatively low rates of HIV infection is so strong that the value of the practice as a significant factor in reducing disease transmission cannot be ignored.
I have heard a number of objections to this kind of analysis; namely that such studies have only been performed in underdeveloped Third World nations and not the developed West. These skeptics contend that since Americans and Europeans have better hygiene than the typical African, since we generally practice monogamy, wear condoms and bathe regularly we do not need to bother with circumcision.
Such First World-centrics are faulty in their reasoning, particularly because the studies linking the lack of circumcision to higher rates of HIV infection found the greatest correlation in the most at risk populations – precisely those persons in the United States who are the most likely to have sex with multiple or even concurrent partners, those who do not wear condoms, and those who have the worst hygiene. The mere fact that one might reside in the Global North does not separate that person from the basic facts of virology which tend to be associated with the Global South. Likewise, if circumcision has been found to be an effective method of minimizing the HIV epidemic amongst homo sapiens in sub-Saharan Africa, absent any fundamental anatomical or physiological distinction between Americans and Africans, there is only reason to conclude that that practice remains effective amongst homo sapiens in the United States.
I have also heard the argument made that circumcision is unnecessary for homosexual men, because the studies cited above have only demonstrated a link between circumcision and reduced prevalence of HIV amongst heterosexual men. This Intactivist argument maintains that for a parent to decide that they will circumcise their boy to protect him from HIV and AIDS is to make a heteronormative assumption that their child is in fact straight, and that if their boy turns out to be gay then they will be deprived of sexual satisfaction due to a societal bias towards heterosexuality.
This Intactivist sophistry is not only spurious in its logic but quite dangerous in its potential for giving homosexuals a false sense of security. Though the possession of a foreskin is most likely to transmit disease via the mixing of smegma and vaginal fluids – which is exclusive to heterosexual intercourse, that is not the only reason why possession of the foreskin increases the chance of disease transmission. Disease can also be transmitted because the foreskin is more easily susceptible to tearing. One must also take bisexuality into consideration; an uncircumcised man could very easily receive the HIV virus by trading fluids with an HIV+ woman and later on transmit the virus to a male sexual partner (or the other way around) explicitly due to his possession of his original foreskin.
Read Intact America's sophistry again: "Only abstinence or safe sex, including the use of condoms, can prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS." This is more or less the logic of abstinence-only sex education; "if you don't have sex, then you can't get a sexually-transmitted disease; therefore don't wear a condom"; "if you always wear a condom, then you can't get a sexually-transmitted disease; therefore you don't need to be circumcised." The problem with this logic is that uncircumcised men do have sex, sometimes they use condoms, sometimes they don't, sometimes they have sex with a condom but the condom breaks, etc. Even the highest-quality prophylactics can fail - that is why instead of relying on the effectiveness of one or two disease prevention methods, it is best to employ as many as possible.
Intact America is telling the truth when its literature states that circumcision is not the only way to prevent the transmission of HIV, that abstaining from sex or practicing safe sex are alternative ways of preventing disease transmission. But they're not telling the whole truth. "Male circumcision is unnecessary"; indeed, for a practitioner of celibacy there might not be much of a benefit, but for everyone else it remains a very sound, particularly effective means of reducing the transmission of disease. There is no silver bullet which can by itself inoculate an individual from HIV/AIDS, no one is claiming that circumcision can by itself rid the world of this deadly epidemic. Rather, medical proponents of circumcision are contending that it is but one of many practices which ought to be maintained – along with fidelity to one's partner, safe sex, regular testing – in order to defend oneself from STD transmission.
Likewise, the Intactivist movement is making a grave mistake in trying to ban male circumcision under the guise of public health; their pseudo-scientific case to ban the practice is so full of misleading language, cherry-picked half-truths and outright falsehoods that it cannot be taken seriously. Perhaps there are other reasons why a parent might reasonably decide to opt to not circumcise their male child – religious, sexual, aesthetic or otherwise – but the health of the child is not one of them. Male circumcision is not genital mutilation; it is a sound medical procedure which is safe, which does not cause undue pain, and it is still a very effective component of our society's efforts to maintain men's health and curb the spread of disease in America and throughout the world.

The diesel emissions scandal is still far from resolved for Bentley's owner Volkswagen and the automaker continues to be in the news about how it will fund the growing legal costs. As was reported over a year ago, the unknown cost of the scandal could force VW to sell assets to raise cash for legal costs. Initial discussions included Bentley, Lamborghini and Ducati as VW brands that could be put up for sale. Later VW executives maintained that they wanted to keep Bentley and Lamborghini.
Now a year later, Porsche's head, Oliver Blume, spoke to Reuters about the possibility of a Bentley sale, saying "There are no considerations to sell anything…"
"There are no considerations to sell anything," said Oliver Blume, who is also the head of VW's sportscar maker Porsche. He added that cooperation between Porsche and Bentley has reaped more than the originally targeted 100 million euros in annual synergies.
Bentley's parent company has realigned its brands into four channels with Bentley and Bugatti rolling up to Porsche's Board of Directors. The Bentley and Porsche brands will be collaborating on several new models in an effort to save €100 million. The first such vehicle was the 2016 Bentayga, which shared much of its body shell and chassis with the Porsche Cayenne, which itself is a derivative of the VW Toureq. The upcoming all new Continental GT is being co-developed with Porsche, who will be using their version of the chases in the new Porsche Panamera.

CBRE acquires new industrial warehouse in Doncaster
Jointly acting on behalf of Cartonplast UK Limited, the building consultancy and industrial teams at CBRE Leeds have acquired and negotiated a deal on a new warehouse unit for the company at Watervole Way in Doncaster.
Cartonplast has relocated from its previous premises at Shaw Lane Industrial Estate in Doncaster.
CBRE's Industrial Agency team was appointed to acquire a new warehouse to meet future business expansion plans by Cartonplast, which specialises in the supply of layer pad pool systems for the container industries.
Working closely with the building consultancy, the team was able to identify a suitable property in the Doncaster area and ultimately negotiate a deal on a 44,564 sq ft unit at Watervole Way.
Mike Baugh, senior director for the industrial agency team at CBRE Leeds, said: "We enjoyed working with Cartonplast and securing new premises for them at Watervole Way.
"We have worked closely with the Building Consultancy team through every step of the deal to ensure the very best outcome for our client.
"We feel that the excellent location and facilities at Watervole Way offer Cartonplast the perfect environment in which to build on its existing success."
In addition, the CBRE Building Consultancy team provided a building survey report and assisted the client and their legal advisors on the deal agreement.
Watervole Way comprises a new-build industrial unit which will be sub-divided to allow Cartonplast to take occupation of part of the building. The property is a purpose built, modern business centre located just off of the M18, close to the A1(M) and M1.
Jonathan Gobie, senior surveyor for the building consultancy team at CBRE Leeds, concluded: "This instruction is a good example of how multi-service collaboration between CBRE teams, coupled with our commercial and pragmatic advice continue to support our client's objectives."

EU: Right-Wing Populists on the Rise
EU - Rechtspopulisten auf dem Vormarsch
Never before has the European Union been put to the test to this year's extent, in which a country, Great Britain, is leaving the Union and in which anti-EU forces will prospectively be strengthened in the upcoming EU elections. From Hungary to Italy, from France to Poland, from Germany to Sweden, right-wing populist movements are gaining ground. Nationalistic and racist tendencies are rising. In times of corruption, economic slowdown and refugee crisis, the European Union is under great pressure like never before.
