Saif al Islam Gaddafi said that Megrahi's return was a "victory" for all Libyans.
He made the claims in a television interview for Libyan television recorded as he accompanied Megrahi on the flight back from Scotland to Libya on Thursday.
The claims were vehemently denied by the UK government.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "There is no deal. All decisions relating to Megrahi's case have been exclusively for Scottish ministers, the Crown Office in Scotland and the Scottish judicial authorities.
"No deal has been made between the UK government and Libya in relation to Megrahi and any commercial interests in the country."
The claims came as Megrahi said he would produce evidence proving his innocence before he dies.
In an interview with The Times, Megrahi said: My message to the British and Scottish communities is that I will put out the evidence and ask them to be the jury." He refused to elaborate, or speculate about who was responisble for the deaths.
The comments came after President Obama condemned the welcome Megrahi received in Libya as 'highly objectionable'.
Mr Obama's chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, earlier denounced the scenes in the Libyan capital Tripoli when returned home as "outrageous and disgusting".
Speaking before he left the White House to spend the weekend at Camp David, Mr Obama led US condemnation of the bomber's return.
"It was highly objectionable," he said in reference to the release and arrival at Tripoli's airport of Megrahi, where he was greeted by hundreds of people on Thursday night.
Mr Gibbs said: "The images that we saw in Libya yesterday were outrageous and disgusting.
"We communicated with the Libyan goverment, we continue to watch what they do in the days going forward about this individual, and understand that the video that you saw yesterday was tremendously offensive to the survivors that lost a loved one in 1988."
Relatives of the Americans killed in the 1998 atrocity, when a Pan Am jet was blown up over Lockerbie in Scotland, said they planned to converge on New York to mount a protest at the presence of the Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi when he attends the United Nations Genral Assembly on Sept 23.
The families discussed their protest in a conference call on Friday.
Susan Cohen, whose 20-year-old daughter, Theodora, died in the attack, called Megrahi's release "a triumph for terrorism".
"Look what we've come to be - a man [Megrahi] blows up an American plane and now here he [Gaddafi] is rolling into New York in triumph. That's wonderful. Makes the world safer, doesn't it?" she said.
There is also growing anger in Britain at the reception granted to Megrahi on his return to Libya after eight years in a Scottish jail.
Downing Street has also said that Gordon Brown had appealed to the Libyans not to give Megrahi a hero's welcome on his return.
Megrahi, the biggest mass murderer in British legal history, flew home to Tripoli on Thursday after being freed from jail on compassionate grounds by Scotland's devolved adminstration.
A large crowd gathered to greet his return, and he has been feted as a national hero.
David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, said that the reception Libya gave Megrahi was "deeply distressing".
The Foreign Office is now understood to be reviewing a plan for Prince Andrew to represent Britian at celebrations marking 40 years of Col Gaddafi's rule.
The prince, a British trade envoy, has made several previous trips to Libya, where several large British energy firms hold oil and gas contracts.
A Foreign Office source said that the level of Britain's representation at the event is now being reconsidered.
The Scottish decision has triggered a backlash. The Foreign Secretary's comments came amid furious reactions to the decision by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill to free on compassionate grounds the biggest mass murderer in British legal history.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Miliband condemned the scenes of celebration and flag-waving in Libya as Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the only man convicted of the 1988 atrocity, flew home to Tripoli.
"Obviously the sight of a mass murderer getting a hero's welcome in Tripoli is deeply upsetting, deeply distressing," he said.
"Above all for the 270 families who grieve every day for the loss of their loved ones 21 years ago and also for anyone who has an ounce of humanity in them. I think that that is the overriding emotion that people will be feeling today."
Megrahi, 57, a former intelligence agent who has terminal prostate cancer, was greeted in Tripoli by a crowd of thousands along with relatives and the Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's son, Saif al Islam Gaddafi.
After he left Scottish soil, Megrahi, who has served eight years of a 27-year sentence, released a statement protesting his innocence and expressing his "sympathy" for the families of the 270 people he was convicted of killing.

Marshall 31, Hightower 25
Alontai Brewer scored on a 2-yard run in overtime as Marshall beat Hightower 31-25 last Friday night at Hall Stadium.
Marshall jumped out to a 12-0 lead as Devon Achane ran back the opening kickoff 90 yards and Dominick Houston Shepard caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Kacey Barnett. Hightower responded with a 54-yard touchdown run by Brandon Smith and a 29-yard field goal by Alexander Martinez to make the score 12-10 at halftime.
The Hurricanes took the lead in the third quarter on a 26-yard touchdown run by Smith, but the kick failed. Achane then put the Buffaloes on top with a 3-yard touchdown run, and a 54-yard touchdown run. Behind 25-16, the Hurricanes Isaiah Essissima caught a 39-yard touchdown pass from Smith and Martinez kicked a 29-yard field goal to tie the game at 25.
In overtime, Hightower fumbled on their first play and Marshall won the game on Brewer's 2-yard run.
"Those guys (Hightower) competed very hard. They gave us everything we could handle. I am proud of our guys for finishing it. We kind of put ourselves in that position. We turned the ball over five times. We take pride in taking care of the ball, but tonight we didn't do that. It's good at the end to win. You want to win and see your team fight for it," Marshall head coach James Marshall said. "There were two really good defenses out here tonight. They have a lot of guys that swarm around and play really good defense. We just had to stay focused, and eventually something would pop. We had a couple of big plays happen. We just had to stay with it."
The Buffaloes were led by Achane who rushed 13 times for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Brewer carried three times for 55 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Houston Shepard had three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown. Barnett completed nine of 21 passes for 109 yards and one touchdown. The Hurricanes defense pressured Barnett into three interceptions.
"They were giving me a lot of blitzes and a lot of pressure. We just need to work on it. Practice makes perfect. That's all it is, is practice," Barnett said.
For Hightower, Smith rushed 16 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns and completed six of 22 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown.
Marshall begins District 10-5A play against Milby on Thursday at Hall Stadium.
Hightower will play Dulles on Saturday at Mercer Stadium.
Bush 23, Langham Creek 20

"It didn't feel real," Morris said. "I was expecting to get hit, but once I got my eyes down field, I saw a crease and took it. It was also funny because I had never returned a punt before, so I caught everyone by surprise. It was fun!"
Donte Jones completed seven of 18 passes for 172 yards, and Demetrice Jones caught two passes for 104 yards.
Bush will play Alief Taylor on Thursday at Alief.
Clements 42, Springwoods 0
The Rangers scored 42 points in the first half and coasted to their first win of the season, last Friday at Tully Stadium.

Pierre Djunga then scored on runs of 1 and 2 yards, Daniel Amante caught a 24-yard scoring pass from Perry, Junior Onipede ran for an 11-yard touchdown and Patrick Smith closed out the scoring with a 21-yard run.
"Offensively, our rushing attack was led by junior Pierre Djunga who had 76 yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns. Our offensive line of Zack Sharaf, Jack Danklef, Findlay Mason, Josh Gonzales, and Vehbi Karabag played a great first half, opening the way to get some backups in for the entire second half. Junior quarterback John Perry went 6-for-16 for 103 yards and two touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Chris Vann led the receiving corps with three catches for 33 yards and one touchdown, as six different wide receivers had catches. Both freshman Junior Onipede and Patrick Smith contributed with touchdown runs and played on defense as well," Clements head coach Bobby Darnell said. "Defensively, the Rangers held Spring Woods to 72 total yards, mostly in the second half. Jose Falcon and Trey De Los Santos had outstanding games. And our special teams recovered the ball twice on kick offs."
Clements will play Paetow on Friday at Mercer Stadium.
Kempner 39, Alvin 35
The Cougars beat Alvin 39-35 at Mercer Stadium last Thursday night.
"The kids had a total team effort and were very excited about the victory over a talented Alvin team," Kempner head coach Darrin Andrus said. "Jordan Shelton had 225 yards rushing on 22 carries with four touchdowns and a long run of 53 yards. Jalen Bates had 74 yards on 14 carries, Jaden Hannah had 77 yards on six carries and a touchdown with a long run of 45 yards, and Joseph Trim had 77 yards on nine carries with a long run of 26 yards. The offense had a total of 462 yards rushing on 53 attempts and 11 yards passing by Bates for a total of 473 yards for the night."
Alvin could only generate 152 yards rushing and 74 yards passing against the Kempner defense.
"The defense played a great game. They were led by the defensive line of Nick James, Tito Chikere, Joel Hernandez and Marcos Suazo," Andrus said. "On special teams, Chris Ponce punted the ball well and had a field goal and two extra-point kicks."
Middle linebacker Brandon Roach did not play due to an injury, but he was excited about the play of the defensive unit.
"We have worked as a defense really hard from spring ball up to this point. Coming to this season, it has taken a lot of teamwork and family bonding. But last night especially I saw a lot more communication and teamwork. Being out, I was really able to observe, and I feel we really have a great season ahead. Lots of things coming from us this year so I'm excited for sure," Roach said.
Kempner will play Hastings on Friday at Hall Stadium.
Willowridge 41, Westbury 9
Willowridge grabbed a 20-3 halftime lead and rolled to a 41-9 win over Westbury last Thursday night at Dyer Stadium. Vaughnte Frederick opened the scoring for the Eagles with a 1-yard touchdown run. Latrelle Neville added a 12-yard touchdown run and Chris Carter caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Frederick to close out the first half scoring.
In the third quarter, Jhamarkus Harris scored on an 8-yard run, Frederick added another 7-yard scoring run, and Neville scored on a 43-yard pass from Frederick. The Eagles added a safety in the fourth quarter to make the final score 41-9.
The Eagles had some pregame excitement at Dyer Stadium.
"The coaches and players really held it together when we had some distractions early on. We got to the game and there was an electrical fire in the locker room, so we had to sit outside and relive our middle school coaching days to start out," Willowridge head coach Richard Lazarou said. "When the game started, we had had a couple of touchdowns called back early, and we ended up with 22 penalties to their three, so we had plenty of distractions to deal with on the way to putting together a very solid victory. The defense played a great game led by the defensive line. London Bennett was dominant, and Douglass Grobman played the best game of his high school career."
The Eagles were led by Frederick who rushed 16 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns and completed 11 of 16 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Neville caught four passes for 90 yards and one touchdown.
Lazarou was happy with the win, but thought the Eagles have some areas to improve.
"We had far too many special teams' errors. We missed a couple of extra points, and we had some very short punts. We have two very good kickers and we will have a plan in place to be ready to get after it in two weeks. The 22 penalties scream discipline, but when you watch the film the players actually were doing what they are coached to do. We are going to lay out a plan to stay focused on the little things that make big things happen this week," Lazarou said. "We got to the stadium and there were a ton of distractions, then right out of the gate we had two touchdowns called back on mistakes by the officials and we let that get to us. That is on me and we are going to put together a plan to deal with it today."
Willowridge has a bye this week before beginning district play against Waltrip.
Dulles 41, Terry 27
Behind 27-20 after Terry's De'Rondre Moore returned the second half kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, Dulles outscored Terry 21-0 for the remainder of the game to beat Terry 41-27 last Saturday at Traylor Stadium.
The Vikings' Ainias Smith started the scoring run with a 1-yard scoring run with7:39 to go in the third quarter. Myles Heard then put the game away with an 8-yard run with 3:19 to go in the third quarter and a 5-yard run with 5:54 to go in the fourth quarter.
Heard rushed 23 times for 162 yards.
"This was a really good team win for us. When adversity hit us, we bounced right back. The offensive line was executing and opening holes for the backs, and the defense made the key stops when we needed them," Heard said.
Cameron Peters completed 10 of 19 passes for 180 yards and 3 touchdowns. Smith had six receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown, and he had an interception on defense.
"We knew we were going to have to put them in uncomfortable situations, which is third and long or second and long, so they won't run their veer offense," Smith said. "On offense we knew we were going to score points, but we wanted to take a lot of time off the clock, so they wouldn't have much time on offense."
Dulles will play Hightower on Saturday at Mercer Stadium.
Foster 52, Travis 38
Foster shut down the Travis offense in the second half and came from behind to beat the Tigers 52-38 last Saturday at Mercer Stadium. Travis led at halftime 38-35, but the Tigers could not score in the second half as Foster scored 17 points for the win.
In the first quarter, Travis' Parker Washington scored on a 35-yard pass from Eric Rodriguez, then Kaelen Shankle scored on a 2-yard run, and Sergio Rubio kicked a 22-yard field goal.
In the second quarter, Rodriguez ran 35 yards for a touchdown, Washington scored on a 1-yard run, and Arjei Henderson caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Rodriguez.
After that, all of the offense was provided by Foster.
For the game, Travis quarterback Rodriguez completed 21 of 34 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns, and he rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown. Henderson caught eight passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.
Travis will play Spring on Friday night at Leonard Stadium.

My spreadsheet is called empowerment and it has all the things I need to do. Sometimes it is hard to start things. For instance my sister signed up for some fake cable and somehow got me stuck for 2K. I figured this would be a big stress issue and put off calling. Finally I did it. The people asked for the last four digits of my SSN and it did not match what they had on file. Case closed. Issue resolved. Wish they all went that easy. Peace.
Oh and why is it always after you have worked a 14hr day, wake up at 5AM the next morning, and are exhausted, that someone gets hit on your train stop and your train gets delayed by 2 hours!?!?! I mean I have some compassion for the injured/dead person but could they have waited an hour or so to get hit? Jeeez.

No matter what we call it – the Divine, Source, God, the Ultimate, and no matter whether we believe in the presence of the Divine or only in Science and what it can proof that immense power that emanates from the very thought of how vast our Universe is…from the tiniest virus to the massive galaxies, from the invisible air that we breathe to the deepest and darkest corners of the oceans…I honestly believe our fragile human minds are yet to begin to fathom its greatness.

Ministry Mindset
Today's reading: 2 Kings 6:1-7
The character and approach to life displayed by the sons of the prophets, a group of young men whose lives were committed to fulltime ministry, caught my attention. So I wrote down some of the things I noticed about these young men that would be wise to implement and follow. Here's my list:
- Eager to learn more about God and His ways;
- No attitude of entitlement or expectation of receiving charity;
- Willing to work for what they need;
- Don't want to move ahead without confirmation from their leader;
- Desire the company and help of their spiritual teacher;
- Not concerned with having possessions; and
- Took care with, and were concerned about, the items of others.
As a follower of Christ, we are all in ministry. So how would you describe your mindset with regard to serving and representing God? What from the young prophets examples, stood out to you most, and why? Tami

James Von Brunn, accused Holocaust Museum shooter and vile bigot, appeared in court this morning for a preliminary hearing. US District Judge Reggie B. Walton ordered that Von Brunn be examined for competency to stand trial at the agreement of his attorney but over his personal objections, and another hearing has been scheduled for October 14th. The arraignment has been delayed to allow the examination to take place, and this hearing had been delayed due to injuries Von Brunn sustained during the shooting.

It looks good, but reading the comments is kind of a confusing experience at the moment. There's a bit too much crufty stuff at the end and they all run together.
Maybe throw a margin-bottom:40px on the comment output CSS to give them some breathing room? Maybe also cut the title font down a tad?

OK, so the film may have been a bit dodgy, but what's a duff movie between fans eh? Spawn: Armageddon is the second videogame outing for the comic book anti-hero, and followers of the undead one's adventures will be relieved to hear that it's an altogether more successful interpretation than the big screen adaptation.
Playing as the iconic character with the sort of scarf-toting action that'd have Shinobi's accessorising über-ninja Hotsuma pouting with envy, you'll embark on an earth-bound mission to repel hell's minions who, as ever, are intent on global domination.
Armed with an unholy arsenal of devastating weaponry, you'll go on a one-man crusade to send the devil's front-line packing in a variety of effective yet entertaining methods. Wreak havoc with Spawn's obligatory axe, handy for close-quarters attacks, or unleash hellpower attacks for more stylish, spectacular killings. There's also a chain on offer, and a selection of your more traditional hot-lead spurting fodder, for run-and-gun antics.

Let's go to the library. You can go with me to mine or I can go with you to yours. The important thing is we go and support them.
Since I live in Covington, Kentucky now, I go to the Kenton County Public Library—Covington Branch. With all the remodeling that's now completed, it's looking pretty good these days, inside and out.
We're lucky to have a nice public library here, but it's not one of the world's greatest libraries, at least according to these guys. James W.P. Campbell and Will Pryce think they have found some pretty cool libraries. You can click here to take a look.
My library here in Covington didn't make the cut. In my view all libraries are cool as they promote reading and education. Going to the library is a trip I always look forward to. You're certainly welcome to come with me.

Syma X4 4 Channel 2.4GHz RC Pioneer Quadcopter Review
Product Description
Model: X4
Frequency: 2.4 GHz
Channel: 4CH
Gyro: 3-axis
Flying Time: 6 to 8 minutes
Flying Distance: Approx. 30 Meters
Where To Buy: Check Price On Amazon
This beautiful looking drone is perfect for beginners. This drone is not as big as the Syma X5 and can be considered to be more lightweight. Despite this, the Syma X4 is great for those looking for a drone that can fly both indoors and outdoors, whereas the Syma X5 can only be used outdoors.
One of the features that stands out in this drone, as well as most of today's Syma models is its durability.
In contrast to other drones I have used and reviewed, the Syma X4 can be crashed over and over, and you will never need to worry about a part malfunctioning. Even so, the Syma X4 comes with extra propellors just in case!
Dimensions & Specifications
The Syma X4 isn't exactly a miniature drone, but it's not too big either. It's about 10 inches long and 9 inches wide. But despite being larger than most nano's on the market, the Syma X4 is very light.
Weighing in at only 4 ounces, the Syma X4 still remains to resist windy conditions and its 360 eversion function will definitely surprise you. In short, the Syma X4 was made for speed and durability.
>> Read The Reviews On Amazon.com <<
Flight, Controls, & Durability
People love the Syma X4 due to a variety of features. But where it really stands out is being easy to control and sustain crashes over and over again.
I personally believe that Syma somehow makes some of the most durable drones on the market today. Even despite how light weight the Syma X4 is, it still happens to be one of the most durable for its size.
And this just adds to how easy it is to fly, which is beneficial to beginners looking to upgrade to more advanced drones down the line!
The other benefit of the Syma X4 is being able to fly both indoors and outdoors. In fact, its size is perfect for this multi-use ability. It even includes 4 LED lights underneath the propellors so you can better adjust its position and see it in the dark. This is a must-have for any drone especially when you're able to control it from over 100 feet away!
Syma X4 Features
- 360 Eversion Roll Feature – Flips Forward, Backwards, and Side to Side!
- 3-Axis Gyro System for More Stable and Flexible Flight.
- Flies Both Indoors/Outdoors
- Great For Beginners
- Comes With Transmitter, Propellors, and USB Charger
Syma X4 Quadcopter Overview
When it comes to the Syma X4 drone, there is really not a lot of bad things to say about it. It really excels in most areas. Though some people are not the biggest fan of its lightweight nature and may see it as more flimsy. On the contrary though the Syma X4 can be debated to be more durable than most drones.
The Syma X4 is small, simple, and compact and is mainly a drone I recommend for people looking for a drone that can fly both indoors and outdoors. If you're looking for a drone with a camera, than definitely check out the Syma X5. But if you're looking for something simple and easy, the Syma X4 is definitely worth the small price tag for all the enjoyment it offers!

The placebo effect can trick athletes into upping their game by creating an illusion they have taken a performance-enhancing drug, an international expert has warned.
The cheating potential of placebos is so powerful their use must be regulated, Professor Fabrizio Benedetti told a gathering of anaesthetists in Melbourne on Saturday.
The professor of neurophysiology at the University of Turin in Italy says placebos can be so potent their use to boost performance poses an important dilemma for competitive sport.
A placebo is a simulated medical treatment with no physiological effect.
Studies in a broad range of settings and sports have shown significantly improved results in athletes who thought they were taking a performance-enhancing substance, Prof Benedetti told the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) annual scientific meeting.
He says the response to drugs is twofold: the physiological effect of the drug itself and the psychological effect.
"There is compelling evidence that if we eliminate the psychological therapeutic ritual, the overall effect of the drug is reduced."
The internationally recognised pioneer of the science of placebo says the psychological effect is so powerful it is open to exploitation and cheating.
Explaining the theory, he told the conference that if a patient is given morphine several days in a row and then the drug is replaced with a placebo, the patient still feels the effect of the morphine.
It is therefore possible to give an athlete a performance enhancing drug and then replace it with a placebo to avoid anti-doping tests, he says.
"Is this procedure ethical? Is it legal?"

Gayle Kolassa, center, human resource generalist at BorgWarner gives advices to Western Michigan University students Dustin Cook, of Battle Creek, left, and David Hopwood, of Kalamazoo, during WMU's 36th Annual Career Fair, held Feb. 13, at WMU's Bernhard Center.
(Junfu Han | MLive/Gazette)
– "Why won't they hire me?" and "Whaddaya have to do to get a job there?" are two classic questions asked by people struggling to find work at a good company.
An important segment of area employers has answered those questions with information they have provided over the past few years to Michigan Works!, the state of Michigan's job advocacy agency.
The top 10 reasons people don't get hired -- as well as the reasons they get fired -- according to the Advanced Manufacturing Career Consortium, are:
• Drug use.
• Poor attendance – and not showing up.
• Lack of basic math and basic reading skills.
• Felony conviction for a violent crime. ("It's more prevalent than you would think," one employer said. Job applicants who admit to having a felony record, are sometimes not totally honest about what the conviction was for or how long ago it was.)
• Lack of attention to safety and rules. (It includes everything from refusing to stop texting and chit-chatting on a cell phone while running machinery, to failing to properly lock out or shut down production lines and machinery that could harm you or others as you approach it.)
• Not being a team player.
• Having a poor work ethic.
• No sense of urgency (Further explained to mean: not understanding the urgency of the manufacturing environment and the need to meet customer requests).
• Lack of general intelligence (Further explained to mean: common sense. It shows up quite often with safety matters,
one employer said – workers who will walk through trash on a factory floor rather
than pick it. Or who take a break before they finish the trailing parts of a job that needs to be expedited.
• Lack of solid communication skills (Further explained to mean: inability to communicate effectively with peers and supervisory staff)
Those were identified as "deal breakers" that make individuals ineligible for successful employment. They were identified in early 2011 by the Advanced Manufacturing Career Consortium, a group of 26 area manufacturers and seven support service organizations.
"The same reasons hold true for many other industries as well," Kathy Olsen, marketing and community information coordinator for Michigan Works, said of reasons people are not hired. "For some jobs such as those in healthcare and education, where the population served is vulnerable (such as children, disabled and the elderly), individuals with a criminal background may encounter additional barriers to being hired.
The consortiuum members had determined there was a lack of qualified candidates to fill a total of 722 entry-level and technician-level manufacturing jobs that needed to be filled from the spring of 2011 through the spring of 2012. During the same period, they estimated that there were not eligible candidates to fill about 100 engineering and professional positions that were to come open.
"The overwhelming reason people don't end up getting hired by us is they don't come to work," said Jan Opalewski, human resources manager for Fabri-Kal Corp. "That's the biggest reason."
Fabri-Kal makes thermo-formed cups and containers, primarily for the food industry. It hires entry level and general-level positions from the temporary workers that are supplied by a temp service.
"It's more within the first couple of weeks," Opalewski said of losing workers. "We have a fair amount of turnover through our temp service.
She said. "People just don't seem to understand that we need somebody here every day."
Among individuals the company wants to hire directly for more skilled positions, she and Kelly Presta, vice president of Sturgis Molded Products, said those who don't get hired are those who lack related work experience, lack the ability to present themselves well to potential customers, or lack a college degree (for engineering posts).
Considering entry-level and general positions, "The only thing that is a deal-buster coming in is violent felony crimes," Presta said. That company's 230 workers make injection plastic molded parts, primarily for the automotive industry.
Once a person goes from being a temporary worker to being one the company wants to hire, Presta said, "There are three main reasons people don't get hired" (Poor) attendance is the No. 1 reason; drug use is second; and failure to follow safety procedures is third."
She said that although temporary employment services usually have a drug screening, another one is done when a worker is being considered for a permanent jobs.
The Advanced Manufacturing Career Consortium has been trying to find ways to recruit more workers to fill what it says is an ongoing lack of candidates for advanced manufacturing positions -- from maintenance people and process engineers to people who are good with electronics and experienced engineers.
"Advanced manufacturing is a career path that – if we can get some excitement behind it – (is a good career path)," Opalewski said. "These kids growing up can make a lot of money in manufacturing, plus they're learning stuff every day and a lot of people in business can't say that."
She said people who have not earned a degree can make $60,000 to $70,000 annually once they get into the field and work hard.
"People, I don't think, realize there's that much money they can make in manufacturing," she said.
Businesses involved in the Advanced Manufacturing Consortium include Fabri-Kal, Kaiser Aluminum, Mann + Hummel, Parker Hannifin, Perrigo, Pfizer, Schupans & Sons and Stryker Corp.'s Medical and Instruments divisions. The service support organizations include Glen Oaks Community College, HRM Innovations, the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Sturgis EDC and Southwest Michigan First.

text: So far, two UN chiefs have come from Africa, including Annan Asian candidates for the post of top world diplomat, which Annan will leave on 31 December after two five-year terms, have started making the rounds in Washington, which has made it clear it is not committed to the regional rotation tradition. Since 1946, three secretaries-general have been Europeans, two have come from Africa and one from Latin America. The sole Asian was U Thant of Burma, now called Myanmar, who served from 1961 to 1971 and Asia argues it now its turn. "We ourselves are not asking for affirmative action for Asia," said candidate Jayantha Dhanapala, adviser to the president of Sri Lanka and a former UN undersecretary-general for disarmament. "But there has been a tradition of rotation - this is why there is a widespread consensus internationally that the next secretary-general should come from Asia," he said in Washington last week. Asian probables Other Asians who have expressed interest in the job are Ban Ki-moon, the South Korean foreign minister, who will visit New York and Washington next week, and Surakiart Sathirathai, the deputy prime minister of Thailand. A Thai newspaper reported last month that Bangkok's outgoing ambassador to the US had sent home a cable in September urging the government to drop its campaign for Surakiart because it lacked support from Washington. Bolton says the next UN chiefcould belong to any regionAt the UN, US Ambassador John Bolton said: "We don't believe that the next secretary-general belongs to any particular region. Emyr Jones Parry, Britain's UN ambassador, agreed, saying: "We are looking for the best person capable of meeting the demands of the job." In a description echoed by US allies Britain and Japan, a US official said in a recent interview that Washington sought a "strong manager who's comfortable making tough decisions" after the mismanagement of the oil-for-food programme for Iraq. Support for democracy and human rights were also key attributes, the US diplomat said. If past elections are any guide, the 15-nation Security Council, which recommends a candidate to the 191-member General Assembly, will wait as long as it can to make a decision. Final choice Bolton would like one by July, although this is highly unlikely. In practice, the five permanent council members - the US, Britain, France, Russia and China - have veto power and thereby make the final choice. But they often blackball one another's candidate and see who is left standing. Africa has supported the idea ofan Asian UN secretary-general On Thursday, Kong Quan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, confirmed Beijing's support for an Asian candidate. At a meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, in April, foreign ministers from Asia and Africa supported the candidacy of a Asian UN secretary-general. Indonesian analyst Hariyadi Wirawan said that while the regional rotation idea has no constitutional basis, Asia had a strong claim as the world's most populous region with many dynamic, fast-growing economies. "The US is doing this alone and has emboldened Asia to fight this move," he said. "The US will become more unpopular and this move will eventually be ineffective." SOURCE: Reuters

Michael Carnuccio, of E Foundation for Oklahoma ; John Tillman, of Illinois Policy Institute; Jon Caldera, of Independence Institute; and Robert Alt, of The Buckeye Institute stand on the symbolic bridge to democracy which represents the complicated history of Hungary's march toward freedom.
One of the improvised strongholds during Hungary's anti-Soviet revolution in October 1956 was the Corvin cinema in central Budapest. Here, ordinary citizens joined hometown soldiers in a spontaneous attempt to take back their government. More recently, the site served as a memorable stop and cause for reflection for a gathering of think tank CEOs from the United States and Europe in Atlas Network's annual CEO Summit.
Lessons from that poignant time in history informed this year's Transatlantic CEO Summit where think tank leaders convened in Budapest prior to Europe Liberty Forum to workshop their bold new plans for increasing liberty on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean next year.
"We prioritize this event precisely because we have learned that talented think tank leaders draw so much inspiration and motivation primarily from equally talented peers," explained Brad Lips, Atlas Network's CEO, at the conclusion of the Summit. "We know that when we push each other innovation is often the result."
Think Tank CEOs visit Corvin cinema – a historic site of Hungarian resistance to the Soviet Union during the revolution of 1956 – to reflect ahead of Europe Liberty Forum.
"I am now energized and even more motivated to go back to my office to try some of the new ideas I came up with during the invaluable workshop discussions," explained Svetla Kostadinova, CEO of Institute of Market Economics in Bulgaria.
Pictured left to right: Martin Agerup, CEPOS, Denmark; Terry Kibbe, Free the People, United States; Brad Lips, Atlas Network, United States; Joe Lehman, Mackinac Center for Public Policy, United States.
"The impact of this year's Transatlantic CEO summit will pay off for years to come, both in Europe and the US," said John Tillman, CEO of Illinois Policy Institute. "Rather than esoteric policy discussions, we dug into the nuts and bolts of leadership, management, strategy, innovation and fundraising. The Atlas Network team changed the format this year to ensure that every CEO participated by presenting, by critiquing, by creating, and by mutual mentorship. We all had the joy of seeing, right before our eyes, the growth we each had experienced over the past couple of years – growth in thinking big, growth in resources, and most importantly, growth in impact. Sacrificing a week is a real cost, but the ROI has been enormous."

1- Muslims do not bury dead bodies in caskets
2- Muslims do not tattoo crescent "or anything at all" on their right hands as a matter of fact, tattoos are prohibited in Islam
Thanks to those early signs, I didn't bother Neesons' wrong distance calculations from the grenade sound, I've switched to "Act like stupid and enjoy the show" mode earlier. 😀

Uxbridge Family Photographer
Uxbridge Fall Photos
As an Uxbridge Family Photographer, I have to say that this was one of my favourite fall sessions; the kids were an absolute dream to work with (their mom did an AMAZING job styling their outfits) and the lighting was absolutely PERFECT on this crisp fall day. What more can a photographer ask for? I will tell you, nothing.
Uxbridge is a beautiful area just north of the Durham region, full of sprawling farmland and stunning vistas. Here is a bit of history on Uxbridge, taken from Wikipedia:
"It was named for Uxbridge, England, a name which was originally derived from "Wixan's Bridge".[3] The Wixan were a 7th-century Saxon tribe from Lincolnshirewho also began to settle in what became Middlesex.[4] Anglo-Saxons began to settle and farm in the area of Uxbridge, England in the 5th century, clearing the dense woodland and remaining there for around 500 years.[4] Uxbridge, UK became part of the Elthorne Hundred with other villages in the area. The town later appears in records from 1107 as "Woxbrigge".[5]
The first settlers in the area were Quakers who started arriving in 1806 from the Catawissa area of Pennsylvania. The community's oldest building, the Uxbridge Friends Meeting House, was built in 1820 and overlooks the town from Quaker Hill, a kilometre to the west.
The township was incorporated as a municipality in 1850 and became part of the newly formed Ontario County two years later.
The first passenger-carrying narrow-gauge railway in North America, the Toronto and Nipissing Railway arrived in Uxbridge in June 1871, and for over a decade Uxbridge was the headquarters of the railway. In 1872, the Village of Uxbridge was separated from the Township and incorporated as a separate entity.
With the creation of the Regional Municipality of Durham in 1974, Uxbridge Township was amalgamated with the Town of Uxbridge and Scott Township to create an expanded Township of Uxbridge."

So, at Ellen's suggestion I saw Heat Wave the play last night. It was really great on various levels and I give it 2 thumbs up. If you are in Chicago, go see it.
So it is interesting because it is an adaption of a sociological monograph. You don't see that very often. The book, by Eric Klinenberg was great, but how would it fare as a play?
Turns out, it was great. The cool thing was how the play and the production (like the book) make it clear that there were/are various ways to think about what happened in the Chicago Heat Wave of 1995 (in which almost a thousand people died). It can be seen as a failing of individuals and a "natural" disaster versus a failure of social services with a profoundly disparate impact on older people of color living in poverty. By the end of the play (or if you cannot get to it, the book), you feel pretty darn sure which interpretation seems more true to the events.
So – playwrites out there: street harassment. think about it as a stage production. I envision actors posing as audience members, sitting int he audience, harassing actresses on the stage.

Increasing integrated circuit (IC) power density can result in high temperature, reducing reliability, reducing performance performance, increasing leakage power consumption, and increasing the cost of economical cooling. The use of thermal analysis during early stages of the IC design can enable temperature optimization techniques that would be impractical if thermal analysis were deferred until packaging design. Many methods of integrated circuit thermal analysis do not have sufficient performance and accuracy for use in architectural design.
ISAC2(FATA/ThermalScope) is built on ISAC, a static and dynamic thermal analysis software package. The initial version of ISAC was described here.
ISAC2 improved the time-domain solver in ISAC to achieve higher performance for dynamic thermal analysis while maintaining similar accuracy. ISAC2 replaced the original temperature update function in ISAC with a trapezoidal method based temperature update function. The step size adaptation method in ISAC2 is based on third-order finite divided temperature difference. ISAC2 also adds quiescence detection for shorter simulation time.
ISAC2 consists of a device temperature solver, as well as a chip-package analysis tool. Together, the thermal profile of a chip can be computed down to the device-level, taking into account the nanoscale thermal effects, such as the ballistic phonon effect. In the following, the device solver, and the chip-package analysis tool will be described.
ISAC2 needs the AMD Core Math Library (ACML) to be available. ACML can be downloaded from here.

For the love of god, what will it be next? This is not Burger King's first rodeo, in terms of terrible, sexist advertising, but it might be the raunchiest and therefore the most abhor-able. There is no reading between the lines here, no smoke and mirrors as far as the imagery and message are concerned. So who the hell keeps getting this smut on their desk and signing off on it? In past blogs, we've tackled this b.s. once or twice before, and you'd think they'd eventually get over the tired, easy, douchebag messaging. "Fill your desire for something long, juicy and flame-grilled"? For the love of... Please, please, this is so grade school immature and straight-up offensive.
Burger King, women don't like giving sandwiches fellatio. Shockingly enough. Based on past ad campaigns, Burger King thinks women think hamburgers are babies and now, penises, and that we'll stuff our pants to emulate Spongebob so we can drop it like it's hot in some weird, washed-up '80s hip-hop star's quasi-music video. A big shut up, please, to Burger King for their latest jaunt down Douchebag Avenue. BK execs, why don't you take your own advice and suck it (metaphorically speaking).

I think you may have been looking for some OTHER Bitch Magazine.
Jesse Dangerously replied on
They don't even know what they're doing. They're not even SAVVILY offensive. They're not selling the burger, they're selling the chick. They've got her objectified so hard that she's actually groomed and posed to resemble a blow-up sex doll, and when they say "IT'LL BLOW YOU," they can only mean her and not the sandwich. In this analogy, YOU are the sandwich. SHE will blow you. The association/transference doesn't even happen.
Because of course it's not like we think they're trying to sell sandwiches to women, even fellatio-lovin' ones. Their audience is dudes (and women who submit to dude-privileged worldviews I guess, but not women who might identify with the human in the picture), and they've made the CONSUMER into the cocksucker.
I am now picturing a version of this ad with a guy in the lady position, but I can't decide whether it's one of those critiques of implicit homophobia that is, itself, homophobic by accident.
but for christ's sake, BK, you want the customer to posit his or herself as the EATER of the sandwich, not the sandwich itself. You are so stupid and gross and argh.
Of course they are not
Eisley_Rose replied on
Of course they are not selling to women. We don't eat large meaty sandwiches, ever. We are the 'it' in this scenario, and apparently the message, Men, is that if you don't have seven inches of your own go buy this sandwich and it will make brainless sex-toy women (which is apparently what we are) want to blow you.
I'm boycotting BK.
It doesn't stop there

One of my good friends who studies sexism and the meat industry, showed me this website the other day. It's a site called the Subservient Chicken, created by Burger King, where you find a person dressed up in a chicken suit wearing a garter belt, in what looks like a seedy hotel. The chicken is deemed the Subservient Chicken because the user gets to type in actions for the chicken to perform. I find this site more creepy than blatantly sexist, but I do believe the main premise rests on the feminization and sexualization of meat where meat consumption is solely a male activity. Not to mention the implications behind the word subservient. Check it out for yourself: http://www.subservientchicken.com/
Make sure to type in "go vegan;" the chicken definitely doesn't like that.
Not that I support Burger King's business anyway, but none of this is acceptable.
That Website

I couldn't believe that site you posted. They have no excuse. I don't see how they could ever attempt to defend themselves. I wish there was some way someone could take them to court, but it's morally wrong not legally wrong.

Sam Clifford replied on
Could they not choose between "It'll blow your mind" and "It'll blow you away"? Maybe they should've reserved the campaign for a chicken burger and sold it with "It'll blow your cock".

Well, another ad trying to keep women in the position men want. Hmmm....Hasn't this been going on since the beginning of time? We can do something about this, though. We can refuse to give BK our hard earned dollars. Let's boycott Burger King and show them the real power of women!
Sexual Violence
Jacquelyn Weinb... replied on
There's something reminiscent of sexual violence against women here. Unfortunately, that's all too common. But her shocked scared facial expression combined with the phrasing including "blow your mind" in this context don't seem to give the feeling that this is an experience that is exciting and wonderful. Especially considering the male-centric perspective, what it really seems to say is that she will be used to satisfy the man without consideration of her pain, pleasure, or opinion. And blowing her mind away makes me really uncomfortable here; reminiscent of "skull f&*c&ing" which is violence. This is sad, it really makes me sad. I second your question; how is it that this was signed off as acceptable by who ever is in charge? And why isn't there a bigger outcry?
bk, no way!
Brenna replied on
This seems to be a trend in advertising and bk is the worst example of it (or maybe that creepy chocolate guy Axe advert is...jury still out). It's like they target the man-boy-child demographic in an attempt to 'funny' and glorify immature imbecility. But I don't want them rockin' my demographic either because then we'd all be subjected to commercials equating their nasty food with faux 'girl power' or shoes or shopping or dieting or some such shit. Blech. Add this to my list 'Why I'm Moving to Mongolia'.

Ads like this simply lack thought - did they really think it would appeal to women? Incredible! And it makes me throw up in my mouth a little to think of any guy who'd actually be influenced by this lowest-common-denominator marketing tactic. It's insulting to the reader all around, and I don't consider it clever or fun at all - it's a cheap joke.

As a man, I'm getting really tired of this crap being flung in my direction in hopes that my overcharged libido and supposed "absence of critical though"t will allow it to stick. Society as a whole is damaged with garbage like this. I haven't eaten at Burger King in nearly a year since I noticed their commercials. I've also taken a stand to stop frequenting a product/chain that insults women like my two young daughters, as well as myself. Not all men are instantly turned into mindless consumers when we see an oversexualized woman. I'm looking at you Axe, Tag, Burger King, CK, and every Fast and Furious movie.
how refreshing ...
Anonymous replied on
... to hear words such as the aforementioned coming from a man who, I am assuming, does not seem to display the over-sexed, over-macho, eternal frat-boy stereotype I see/hear too much of in in my conservative, "red-leaning" community - in and out of the office. You very much sound like a good, concerned parent of daughters.
Tell me, how do you feel about PETA? While PETA would be among the first to tell folks to stay away from Burger King (Because they serve beef, fish, dairy, and poultry products), they would do so by having naked women protesting outside of BK establishments. This intrigued mind is very much wondering because their consistent hypocrisy offends me probably even more than over-sexed, over-macho, eternal frat-boys.
PETA...I'm not a fan at all.
Anonymous replied on
PETA...I'm not a fan at all. Their sexualization of women to draw attention to their cause, invalidates their message when they have to resort to such a low common denominator, because I guarantee the "target audience" isn't hearing it when they see half/fully naked women. I also find their tactics of exaggerating the problem or omitting information that conflicts with their assertions to be harmful to their cause. I am a believer in both cruelty free products and protecting the environment (McDonalds being such an egregious offender that I haven't given them a dime in nearly 7 years), but hate when the data gets skewed for both causes, because it leaves a valid opening for detractors to question all the evidence, even the valid pieces. Not every chicken farmer supplying KFC actively abuses their animals by beating them, and spitting tobacco juice in their eyes, as it is financially unsound to damage their product intentionally. Things like this invalidate the truly horrific conditions of certain California dairy "farms" and other such mass production facilities, in the minds of people that could be useful allies to the cause. I visited one once, and couldnt touch a related product for nearly a month without feeling nautious. I still do eat meat, but work hard to use products that are approved by the humane farm animal care program.
Apologies for the digression, that just happens to be one of my hot buttons, because its essentially shooting yourself in the foot because you were swinging the gun and shouting to attract attention.
I too find the sacrificing of their decency and the hypocrisy to be more offensive than other transgression often times because they know better, and should be better than that. Some of the neanderthal-esque frat boy behavior upheld in our society is so ingrained in some that its difficult to penetrate, as they see normalcy in their patterns.

Beautiful rant! And you can bet this mouth and set of tits isn't going anywhere near a BK Lounge anytime soon. They "aim" at dudes, but any advertising text will tell you it's the woman who decides on expenditures not the man.
What to do with that saved money...

Take all the money you're saving by not eating at burger king, because of that ad, and put it in a jar. In time most of you may have enough money to buy a sense of humor. Please do so, life will be so much better for you. Really people, does a BK print ad matter that much? Worry less about nonsense like that and put that energy towards helping homeless people, feeding the hungry, taking care of the sick and the dying. You want to be angry about something, be angry that there are people in the world who survive off the garbage of others. Let that get you pissed off enough to try and make a difference. Maybe..just maybe...there are more important issues to take care of before protesting a 'tasteless' ad.

A male "friends" response to this criticism.
"Bitch is being hypocritical by calling out all these fast food companies for sexualizing females to sell food while they're using an anti-feminine slur perpetuating the "dirtiness" of the feminine sexual parts.
If they wanna nitpick, then let's look at the complete picture here. Expectations about female sexuality are so deep in our society that I think it's unfair to call out ads using comedic stereotyping such as they did in their past posts. I know a lot of girls that I suspect wouldn't even think to be offended by that.
And the last thing girls need to preach a case to men about desexualization is a magazine of angry "bitch"es "bitch"ing about any reference to gender. Most men just stop listening."

Father of 2 Dau... replied on
Firstly what slur is being used that perpetuates the dirtiness of female sexual parts is your "friend" referring to? Just because something is socially ingrained doesn't mean its safe from criticism. Without that we wouldn't have had the Renaissance, the Enlightenment period, integration, the civil rights movements, all of which were criticisms against and attempts to change the status quo. I'm sorry, but a blow up doll like woman getting ready to swallow a seven incher isn't comedic, it's lazy and base at its best. Key word for the remainder, you know "girls" that wouldn't be offended; this is either your inability to recognize your friends as mature women young or old, or simply that they're too young to grasp the rediculousness of this ad. Not everyone needs to take offense at this, but its not excused completely either. If your "friend" bothered reading this magazine at all he'd know its "angry bitches preaching to men about desexualization." is so far from what its about it's laughable. It's about social issues, empowerment, debating feminism in general, and an outlet for women to simply express themselves (as well as some men, as this website has often engaged me in serious exchange and debate). Your friend sounds like a stunted teenage boy angry that women would dare criticize something he finds funny like poor attempts at sex jokes. Nothing in a free and enlightened society is ever unfair to be criticized, because you can always counter intelligently why you disagree.
dirty slur
OntheVerge replied on
The slur he was referencing was the use of "douchebags" to decry the BK advertisers.

Jordan Butler replied on
It's always an interesting choice: how to respond to people who are as defensive and mean as your "friend." However, we do all run into self righteous a-holes from time to time. Why do they think that they are the victims in a world where racism, sexism or other things are pointed out? I was watching an episode of Bill Maher the other day, and one of the guests said "calling someone a racist is the worst thing you can do." I thought to myself, "sure, INCORRECTLY calling someone a racist is kind of problematic, but isn't actually being a racist the worst thing?"
Next time, point out to your "friend" that his use of hypocritical is wrong. As pointed out in the wikipedia entry for hypocrisy: "Hypocrisy is the act of pretending that one has beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities or standards that they do not actually have; this is usually done in order to mask their actual motives or feelings; falseness...Self-contradiction is not necessarily synonymous with hypocrisy." So, at best this is a situation of self-contradiction not hypocrisy, although with a clearer understanding of the way both "douchebag" and "bitch" are used within the blog, he's definitely wrong given context.
That's how I like to approach these situations, because I've found defensive sexism denying a-holes love grammar lessons :)
More rants from my "friend"
OnTheVerge replied on
"I wholeheartedly agree that this recent ad is just ridiculous, but the previous commercials are another ballgame. They're not as mysogynistic, and simply play on basic female stereotypes, the way you'd make a joke about guys watching football and drinking beer. I'm not that kind of guy, but I hardly take offense to a comedic bit suggesting all guys are like that."
"Now, I'm not suggesting women roll with whatever dismissive and dominating attitudes get thrown their way, I'm just suggesting that at this point a different tact than the old "angry, uncompromising feminist" stereotype would probably do more to unite a greater variety of people and compel them to action. For instance, if they had simply come out with this commercial and said "It's mysoginistic, it's offensive, and BK should apologize for it" I'd be like "Yeah, absolutely! Where do I sign the petition?" But instead, I see this chain of articles where they take offense to seemingly any commercial referencing gender, and that just makes me tune out. I've no desire to support their viewpoint. I'll wait for a group that I can wholly agree with."
"I'm sure I have attitudes about the differences between the sexes that not all women (such as yourself) would agree with. And a lot of the sexism in the world is so ingrained that even many women wouldn't see the harm in ads like these. But I honestly don't think much is accomplished by raging with indignation against them. I'm someone who actually does see/believe in the subtle psychology of the kind of pervasive message some ads can send. But to convince those IN the status quo or otherwise blind to that, you're going to need insightful arguments, calmly and eloquently stated, expert witnesses, tests, etc. Because otherwise those people have no reason to sit around and be yelled at for happening to be on top or oblivious. In short, you get more flies with honey than vinegar."
Burger Kind Ad
Fran Luck replied on
In terms of the positive changes that have come about for women in the last century, you're quite wrong about "honey catching more flies than vinegar".
EVERY CHANGE FOR WOMEN (women getting the vote, getting the right to equal pay, getting the right to wear pants to school/work, the right to a legal abortion, the right to equal sports facilities, etc. etc. etc.) came about only because of vigorous AND ANGRY grass roots movements in which women openly expressed their OUTRAGE at living in unequal conditions. Later on, when the women had been vociferous enough to "threaten the system", the politicians came along and "made nice" to get legislation passed (the place for the "honey", as opposed to "vinegar"). If you study the actual history of the advances of women, you'll see that it's actually our ANGER that gets things going. Of course, good arguments (which we've always put forth also), help, but they definitely don't work without the "noise in the street" to get attention onto the injustice in the first place. Check it out.
How is this supposed to appeal to a wide market?

As a heterosexual male, what am I supposed to get out of this advertising? Basically, what they're saying is: "Burger King... It's a Penis." They took something I would enjoy (a delicious steak sandwich) and turned it into something only a fraction of the public is interested in (performing oral sex). Who is the marketing genius behind this?

LOL. Feminism. Randomly stumbled onto this site...and what a blast from the 90's. If you have noticed the trend lately in many forms of media is to move away from the PC tip-toeing of the last decade. Why? Because it pisses people the fuck off. I would rather associate myself with black friends who can take stereotype jokes and a woman who can take a joke that might be considered gender insensitive. And I happily take it in return. Its called having fun and enjoying your life, not shitting yourself over every possible negative interpretation you can think of in a message. People who make themselves miserable like this aren't large enough a demographic to worry about. Get in touch.
Burger King Ad
pirate jenny replied on
LOL, do youi really find that laughing at jokes that put you--and your entire gender (assuming you are a woman) down to be "fun"? I have found, in a lifetime of being in those situations, that the "fun" means you have to suppress your natural anger responses in order to join the crowd and laugh. In the end, repressing part of yourself catches up with you--in a subtle and not-so-subtle eating away at your self esteem. I understand that there's alot of pressure to "play along to get along". But there's also being true to yourself. Living your true life is actually the most "fun."
About Burger King and its lack of caring about its female customers--or its assuming we're so brain dead that we don't know when we're being insulted, WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED (HERE) WITH DISGUST ABOUT THE AD, SEND THEIR MESSAGE TO BURGER KING??? Otherwise we're kind of wasting our outrage. We have to threaten them where it hurts--in the pocketbook. And I've heard that companies ARE "sensitized" when they get a strong response. Can anyone post the "customer response email address" or the equivalent, for Burger King? (or just google it and forward your response).

Free Sowing. It's a gardening term that my therapist taught me as she gifted me some parsley, basil, and chia seeds. It means seeds that do not require much tending to grow.
The last year and a half, I have required so much tending and care, that I am happy to be at my free sown phase. I have happy days. I have real moments when the dark foggy abyss abates, and I feel the sunlight on my face. Those moments are longer and longer. Words cannot adequately give gratitude to how that feels.
The pivotal moment for me occurred when I saw my friend on the street and presented with the opportunity to tell him forgave him. I reiterated I knew his daddy caused him to do the things he did to me. Something happened that day, he told me that he was wrong, relating also, his father often told him to do things he should not have done. I was no longer the only one saying these things happened. I no longer doubted my memories. A tender mercy that I prayed for, answered very directly. My husband witnessed his confession as he sat silently in the car beside me.
Since our conversation, surprisingly, days passed without a thought of the abuse or my abusers. The long-awaited mental reprieve granted. Not to spread all sunshine and roses, some days are still hard, but many more happy days of light than before.
What of my alters?
They still remain vigilent. I am learning to live with them and they me.
Gidget fulfills her job as protector, and gets quite upset if I do not let her do her job. She speaks up in situations that I should speak up and don't or won't. She also loves to laugh and play jokes. A few weeks back my husband and I went on a date. Gidget came out. I had shrimp on my plate. When she allowed me to come back there were green beans in a smiley face with one shrimp as a nose staring at me. Apparently she had told Mother she was not going to let me eat all the food at the restaurant. She really likes Ole Times, and shrimp.
Squirt, or Little Shanna, her feelings are so tender. She has been happier. She watched Curious George a couple of times. Mother said she gave her a play- by-play of what George was doing. She still has some of her fears, but she is feeling safer.
Adrian. I do not know what to say about Adrian. Mother can talk to her and get through to her. She does not like me, AT ALL. She is very angry. Though relatively quiet the last few weeks, she still makes part our "family".
I suppose the dream of being "normal" – alter free- when I started to feel better, isn't going to happen. They are my normal. Learning to live with them and accepting this part of my life is key.

Pink Petals
2017年 05月 12日
So spring has finally come. The floating snowflakes have turned to pink petals of cherry blossoms which have started to scatter across the city footpaths.
To me it was a little sad to see the snow slowly melt away, yet I am glad that the days stretch longer into the evenings now and the sun shines a little longer. But accepting spring did not come easy. I think I had a little bit of seasonal sadness as the snow turned to rain and I no longer had to skate to school on the soles of my boots.
Last month I finally became a first year student at my university. I went to my entrance ceremony along with my classmates. My classmates and I were some of the very few international students in attendance. We walked through the glass doors among our fellow first years all dressed in black suits. I think we must have looked like a hoard of penguins.
In Australia we do not have university entrance ceremonies. We don't celebrate the entry, we only celebrate the leaving – graduating from university. The ceremony was long and I still don't know why they introduced every member of staff that sat on the stage. As soon as the names were spoken I am sure most of us students forgot the names soon after.
In Hokkaido we have our entrance ceremonies in the April winds and the melting dirtied snow. I am jealous of those in Honshu who can celebrate their new schooling life under the cherry blossom trees.
But here in Sapporo we can enjoy the cherry blossoms in golden week instead. I rode my bicycle by Maruyama Park a few days ago, the smell of cooking meat drifting up my nose. I can't wait to sit under the cherry blossoms myself tomorrow, a picnic in the shade of the trees and sipping beer in the sun with my friends.
I love the Japanese culture of appreciating the coming of spring by enjoying flower viewing. Or maybe it isn't so much appreciating flowers as it is an excuse to get drunk, eat too much and laugh alongside your friends? Although there is nothing wrong with that either.
I'm looking forward to experiencing my first Hokkaido summer after the spring has passed. I can't wait to see fireworks and wear a yukata with my friends.
But I will still always be counting down to my favourite winter days and a Sapporo blanketed in white.

The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion ThreadP. 5451 - West Coast Racers Front Seat POV!
Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 23 guests
Discuss theme parks, roller coasters, and mules!
Everyone will probably end up missing psyclone in 2 or so years. Remember how lots of people said "good riddance arrow death machine!" to orient express at WOF? Now people are saying "i miss orient express.. i want 1 more ride on it.."
I don't see CP removing any of their coasters. Unlike Six Flags, Cedar Fair knows how to keep their rides in working order and dosen't let them sit in their parks and rot for about 5 years.
Flashback had some ugly trains! They looked like box's riding on a box track. For anyone who rode it: Was it hard to get any good views infront of you?
This sounds like good news for them. I could imagine a few more coasters going from that park too, in the next few years.
Quite a few people. On a WOF forum i used to go to, everyone threw a fit. Would you rather have an awesome arrow death machine with interlocking loops, or a crappy spinning coaster?
