Man oh man, this site is funny as hell. File the link under recommended reading. Do it. Now.
I've only gotten through a few posts, but it's so good I had to share the link immediately. If you don't make it to any other posts, well, you should be ashamed of yourself and severely made fun of, but still, make sure you check out "Is Jesus Coming or What?" The man has a fucking quality perspective, and I totally jam it.
To quote my good buddy, Kid-something-or-other:
"I've torn through two of his rants. He's angry funny. That's a new type of funny for me. I'm placing it right in between ha-ha funny and sheesh funny."
Besides, how can you not respect someone who owns the domain ninjapirate.com? I'd love to run across a ninja pirate. Some mix of Captain Jack Sparrow and Bruce Lee. I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Ooh.

KSCB News - December 3, 2010 12:00 am
A Texhoma coach has been arrested on charges of rape stemming from an incident that occurred while he was a coach in Hennessy, Okla.
Ben Davis Forsythe, 32, was arrested after allegedly having sex with a student from his previous employer, Hennessy High School. Forsythe is charged with second degree rape. He is currently Texhoma High School's Head Women's Basketball Coach and Health teacher. Since his arrest, he has been placed on administrative leave.
According to a court affidavit, a student said that she had a relationship with Forsythe from November 2009 until May 2010. Forsythe would allegedly text the student to meet with him and the affidavit states that on one occasion, the student and Forsythe drank beer and ended up kissing.
Police checked cell phone records and discovered more than 2000 text messages between the coach and student between December 2009 and May 2010.
The student told Forsythe that what they were doing was wrong, mostly because she knew Forsythe was married, the documents stated. According to police, the girl attempted to break off the relationship multiple times and as a result basketball practice would be made hard and Forsythe would be coarse with her at school. The student told police that her senior year was "hell" because of Forsythe.
The affidavit also states that that the student had sex with her basketball coach, Forsythe, two times and that he would kiss her and playfully slap her on the buttocks while at school. Forsythe and the student were questioned by school officials about the kissing and both lied about the relationship.
Forsythe resigned from the Hennessey School System last Spring for unknown reasons, Joe McCulley, the superintendent told police. The superintendent told police that he was aware of the rumors about Forsythe and the student kissing but he told Forsythe to not tell anyone but to find a job elsewhere.
That's when Forsythe applied for a position at Texhoma High School. According to affidavit, McCulley told police that she recommended Forsythe for the job but had informed the school that he had been caught up in a "buzzsaw" rumor.
"We were shocked. He's an outstanding guy," Texhoma Schools Superintendent Eric Smith said to Oklahoma City TV Station KOCO. "There was never any indication this would not be a good hire.

- Befriending Your Inner Critic

- Tools for Meeting Facilitation workshop at PCC on April 29th
Know somebody who would benefit from reading this eNewsletter? Please fs send them a link! Thanks.
. . . . .
Befriending Your Inner Critic
Most of us experience our inner critic as a strong, hyper-critical voice in our heads. It can sound like lots of different things:
"Well, that was stupid."
"Why did you do it that way?!"
"Now he'll never like you."
"You're not X enough (good, smart, pretty, brave, etc.) to Y (succeed at or get something); it's not worth trying." Or "What makes you think you are X enough to get/deserve Y?"
"How could you do that!"
"That's too hard for you."
"You are just being lazy (playing it safe, not being disciplined, etc.); you'll never get any anywhere like that."
"You aren't good enough."
"You don't deserve to be X (happy, safe, at ease, etc.)." (This is usually followed by a list of your own failings, or – in the case of my inner critic – a reminder of all the unhappiness in the world, all the people who aren't whatever it is I'm reaching for.)
"That doesn't make any sense."
… and so on.
These messages are painful to hear. Sometimes we believe them, or at least live in them as if they were real or true. Sometimes we resist or reject them. But they are still there, either way; still holding us back from being who we want to be.
Many disciplines describe the inner critic as a "saboteur" – a piece of ourselves that dislikes us, that wants to tear us down, make us smaller. Indeed, that framing was part of my co-active coach training.
Inside that story, we need to reject the inner critic, to destroy it. We look for ways to "disprove" what it says about us, to discard its messages, to make it go away.
This sets up a huge internal power struggle. It also asks us to use the inner critic's tools – criticism, rejection, disparaging, dismissing – against it; thus practicing using those tools against ourselves.
But what if the inner critic is not our enemy?
My own framing for the inner critic comes from voice dialogue. Just as bullies are generally people who have been bullied, our inner critic comes into being when we are criticized – when we first discover both that it is possible to be wrong and that being wrong can be scary/unsafe. In this way of seeing, the inner critic is a defensive response to external threats. It's job is to keep us safe by making every criticism it thinks could be made about us before somebody else gets a chance to, thus preventing us from ever making a mistake.
It is a piece of us that is afraid…
all the time.
So what would happen if instead of either believing that voice when it shows up, or fighting/rejecting it, we got curious?
What if we asked:
• What does my inner critic see here?
• What is it afraid of?
• What does it want for me?
• What does it want from me?
I invite you to try it.
First, practice actually noticing what your inner critic is saying, and, instead of just reacting to the criticism, recognize the fear underneath.
Then, practice responding with compassion for that fearfulness and with curiosity, using the four questions above. See what happens.
I'd love to hear about your experience with this. You can comment, or ask questions, in the comments box below.
If you want more tools for transforming your relationship with your inner critic, I am teaching a six-week class starting May 3rd. The details are below.
Taming Your Inner Critic Workshop Starts in May
Self-judgment can paralyze us, hold us in fear, keep us from growing into our strengths and taking action. Self-judgment – and the judgment of others – are the job of our inner critic. Would you like to change your relationship with your inner critic and learn to move with ease through fear into action?
Whether self-judgment is coming up for you around work, family, love, creativity, wellness, or some other arena, this six-week workshop will help you hear in a different way the internal voices that react defensively and critically when you are facing challenges, and hold you back from becoming the person you want to be. The work is about shifting your relationship with those voices, so you can find in yourself the resources you need to step more deeply into being the person you are becoming – who you are when you are at your best. You will come away not just with a new, experience-based framing, but also with many concrete tools for staying on the path of being more of you-at-your-best, naturally and with more ease.
Dates and Location: Meets six consecutive Wednesdays, May 3rd through June 7th, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at my place in outer SE Portland (roughly SE 92nd and Johnson Creek Blvd.).
Cost: $225. It can be paid in a single payment, or in three installments. Group participants also get a special rate of $45/hour for individual coaching sessions done between May 1st and June 15th. (The normal rate is $65/hour.)
Registration: To reserve your spot, please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com to let me know you are interested. I will send you the address where you can send a check.
Public Transportation: The house is roughly 1/3rd of a mile from the Flavel Street Max station (Green line), but the walk from there includes a long, steep hill.
Allergy Alert: We have cats. They will be excluded from the space we meet in during our meetings, but if you have a severe cat allergy, this is probably not the group for you. Sorry.
If you have questions, please give me a call email me. I would love to talk with you about the workshop.

What People Say About My Groups and Workshops
"Emotional, rewarding and life changing"
"The group was inspiring, stimulating, helped me shift out of negativity toward optimistic ideas. I love your style – welcoming, supportive."
"This workshop has changed how I think about my life"
"I now have LOTS of tools to help me make shifts in my life that I've wanted."
. . . . .
If you are feeling stuck and want to do more in-depth work to move through your stuck spots and begin creating the life you want to be living, I invite you to do three months of coaching.
We will focus in on what is most alive for you, most stuck, most confusing, and discover ways for you to access your own deep wisdom and to release old patterns that have stopped serving you and are preventing you from making the changes you want to make. Coaching is practical – learning and action are integrated, so you are actually taking the steps you want to be taking while getting more clarity about what makes these changes challenging and how to make it easy. The cost for three months of facilitation is $525.
You will find information about my coaching work on the Coaching page.

Has anyone successfully gotten Dansguardian running under TomatoUSB? I've done a bunch of searching and get some allusions to success but never enough details to reproduce it. I've successfully flashed the latest VPN version on an RT-N16, gotten the bare minimum optware installed, but every attempt to install one of the dansguardian ipkgs ends with issues.
I'm reasonably Linux savvy, but this is my first real foray into the tweaking routers as I usually just use a PC running IPCop/m0n0wall/pfSense/etc.

I've heard about black bean brownies. I've heard about them a lot. There are a million recipes for them out there. I chose to make the simplist one I could find. Why? I'm not a huge fan of brownies unless they are moist and chewy.
I had pretty much decided that these brownies were going to be a flop even before I made them. How could black beans and brownies possibly go together?
Dump one can of black beans in your food processor. Blend until smooth, liquid and all. In a nice sized bowl, dump in the powder from one box mix of brownies. I bought the store brand, dar chocolate variety. Omit the egg and oil, but add in the recommended amount of water. Next, pour in pureed black beans. Stir until combined. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake according to directions.
These made some of the most moist and chewy brownies I have ever eaten. There wasn't even a hint of black bean. Brian was blown away and thought I was playing a trick on him when I told him there were black beans in them. I cut up half the pan and put them in the freezer so we wouldn't be tempted to eat them all…that's how good they are.

But when they were told that she belongs to no one, charmed men lost their minds. In order to prevent others from reaching her, those men were branded as Fomors and burned at the stake.

Battle Skills & Attacks[edit | edit source]
- Leaps and spins around, twirling her scythe numerous times.
- Rushes at the player 3 times, and finish with a slash, this attack will track the player.
- Rushes forwards to slash upward with her scythe.
- Fires a bolt at a ranged distance. She will spam this move if player is far from her.
- Casts a spell which causes slow motion except on herself. She then runs in a circle while placing numerous bolts. After finishing the spell, her slow motion will wear off and all of the bolts will launch towards the center of the circle.
- Casts a charm on the player, forcing them to collapse. She then mounts her prey and caresses their body, dealing damage while placing Drained Energy on her opponent.
- Snap her fingers and disappears, then reappears behind the player. She can use any other attack as soon as she reappears.
Tips & Advice[edit | edit source]
- In Hero Mode, the seductive charm attack lets the Succubus finish her attack and attack again before you are able to react. If she uses the charm attack again, she can continuously loop it so that you can never stand up. Try to stay out of charm distance when the Succubus is about to attack, so that she uses her scythe attacks instead.
Kai[edit | edit source]
- Continuously strafe and shoot, keeping distance from the Succubus. Use Ricochet Shot after the Succubus finishes an attack. Use Eagle Eye Assault after she uses the charm attack and misses, or after flinching her with other attacks.
Evie[edit | edit source]
- Place a Mana Pistol to draw the Succubus's aggro and to slow her down.
- As Staff, hopping once backwards or to the side can dodge a scythe charge. Use Mercury Traps and Mana Pistols to freeze/distract her and you can use the focus spells then but otherwise it takes too much time. Alternatively you can Cast Save(CS) before the battle and save your top 3 spells (Ice Blow, Fire Shock and Guided Lightning) and use Continual Focus and you can cast Ice Spear and Lightning Wave and then use your CS Spells to inflict massive damage starting out but after the battle has progressed revert to using pistols and traps along with MAGIC ARROW and low focus spells.
Vella[edit | edit source]
- Backlash can be devastating against the Succubus. The single and multiple missile attacks can be backlashed.
Additional Notes[edit | edit source]
- A Succubus is a demon who seduces male humans into their lust, only to have their soul absorbed.
- According to Shayla in A Naughty Woman, she was once a beautiful mortal who men wanted to seduce or be seduced by her. Eventually fed up, she became Fomorian by drinking a potion mixed with Bloody Shade and killed human males in revenge.
- Trivia: Interestingly enough, the Succubus resembles Evie
- Style: A Succubus is a dark demon like character who wears black clothing. She wears a black police-like hat and a bandanna to match her outfit. She is also accompanied with a black button jacket and a short skirt. She also has distinct, black thigh high boots in which she seduces male humans.

Nicki Minaj has once again shifted the Internet with a new release. And again, she fires some harsh warning shots at any potential competitors in the video for 'Lookin Ass N----.'
You may recall Minaj posting a few photos on Instagram showing off her natural hair and curves. It turns out she was shooting the video for this new song. The NABIL-directed visual focuses on the Queens, N.Y., native as a fierce, gun-toting goddess. A man only helplessly watches from afar.
As for the song, Minaj raps her ass off as she on her recent collaborations including the 'Danny Glover' remix and 'My Hitta.' It's possible that her deviation from rap on her sophomore album was an act of mercy against her competitors.
Also, "Rise of an Empire/The Pink Print" is written where the album title usually goes on the credit line at the start of the clip. 'Rise of an Empire' is the upcoming Young Money collaboration, but is 'The Pink Print' the title of Minaj's third album? The more Minaj satisfies, the more questions are raised.

Suggested Review – :001, :002
Welcome to day seven of 1:5:10:365 toward becoming a better steward for our home and planet.
1:5:10:007 Tip: Today's the day to really look for dripping faucets and plumbing leaks. I don't have any sophisticated methods. Just look everywhere. If you find something dripping, put a container under it and collect the drips too see how much is being lost. There are 748 gallons to a unit of water, so by totaling your loss you can see how much is being wasted. The collected water can then be used to water plants or flush toilets until the plumber can fix it, or you may be able to turn off the shut off valve to stop the leak until it is fixed.
Tomorrow we will look at how to read your water meter.
Additional Information
To calculate how much water a drip or leak is wasting, time how many seconds it takes to collect 1 cup of water. Divide 2635 by the number of seconds to determine the number of units of water that would leak in a year. You can multiply this by the dollar amount you recorded in your journal for day :002 to see how much that leak would cost each year.
As an example if it takes 1 minute to fill a measuring cup:
2635 ÷ 6o seconds = 44 units (32,000 gallons each year – enough to fill a swimming pool). At $1.15 that's about $50 a year being wasted.
Journal Entry: Record the 1:5:10 time you spent, how much water is leaking per year and the cost of that water. Also record how much you paid to have the leak fixed. We will be determning cost/benefits later.

Gypsies smash £5million police helicopter with axes in revenge for 'spy' flights, says the Mail. Gipsy axemen chop up cops' £5million chopper, reveals The Sun. Gypsies trash £5million police helicopter, adds the Telegraph.
Compare those headlines with those from the BBC (Vandals attack police helicopter) and the Get Surrey site Surrey Police helicopter grounded by vandals.
Notice the difference - and the interest from the right-wing papers in using race to identify the perpetrators?
The Mail claims the vandals caused 'tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage' although the BBC report - written two hours - later says: 'A force spokesman said...it was not yet known how much the damage would cost to repair.'
But there is something else that the Mail, Sun and Telegraph claim to know but which appears to be in some doubt. Three lines from the end of the story, the Mail writes: 'A Surrey Police spokesman said the identity of the mob members was 'unknown''.
'Unknown'? So how can the papers claim with such certainty in their headlines that those involved were Gypsies?

State officials seek cause of slow benefit processing under outsourced system.
Indiana's automated welfare eligibility pilot is having growing pains, according to officials at the state's Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) recommended that Indiana delay further deployment of the $1.16 billion project because it kept welfare recipients waiting too long for benefits.
Mitchell Roob, secretary of the Indiana FSSA, said rollout of the automation project already was halted in June due to flooding in the Midwest. Roob said FSSA officials are working to determine why benefits-processing timeliness has deteriorated since the pilot launched in October, but he said Indiana's current wait times are still within the maximum time allowed by the the FNS.
Roob cautioned that glitches are typical at the outset of large outsourcing projects, adding that the FSSA had planned to delay further deployment even before the FNS recommendation. The state will proceed cautiously, he said. "We're in no hurry. It's a 10-year contract. It's a brittle population. We want to make sure we're effective at it."
Indiana's project aims to accelerate food stamp eligibility by eliminating individually assigned caseworkers and empowering anyone answering the phone to help customers. The system also automates back-end processes and was outsourced to a private-sector team led by IBM under a long-term contract.
The letter sent to Roob last week from FNS Regional Administrator Ollice Holden cited deteriorating performance of benefits processing under the new system. "Indiana's most recent monthly reports indicate a decline in the timeliness of application processing that has occurred in the pilot region since the transition to the modernized service delivery model," Holden's letter said.
The automation program is deployed in 59 of the state's 92 counties. Before the rollout, participating counties approved 85 percent of benefits applications within 30 days of receiving them. Since changing to the new system, those counties approve less than 50 percent of benefits applications within 30 days, according to the FNS. Most of those applications were approved within 60 days, however, which Roob said is Indiana's maximum acceptable limit with the FNS.
The difficulties aren't uniform across all benefit programs managed by the new system, according to Roob. For instance, counties showing the sharpest drops in food stamp disbursals report the highest participation in the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), the state's low-income health-care program. Citizens access both programs through the new system.
"I'm honestly befuddled as to why Madison County, where we had a drop of about 6 percent in food stamps, had the highest per capita involvement in HIP, and the involvement in HIP far exceeds the drop in food stamps. Why is that? It doesn't make sense to me," Roob said.
Indiana's initiative is the latest welfare system outsourcing project to encounter problems. Texas cancelled a similar contract last year with Accenture which would have privatized the state's welfare eligibility process.
Zach Main, director of the Indiana FSSA's Division of Family Resources, criticized Texas' use of inexperienced call-center workers in an April interview with Government Technology. "Texas modernized and thought they could replace seasoned caseworkers with $8-per-hour people off the street," Main said. "We had an incredibly educated work force -- a lot of them with master's degrees and bachelor's degrees. The average tenure was more than 10 years, especially as you got into more rural areas. ... We said, 'These people are too valuable to let them go off to other places.'"
The FSSA turned 1,500 of its 2,200-person work force into IBM employees. The agency required IBM to offer all 1,500 employees jobs for at least two years at the same pay and benefits they received from the state.
In his April interview, Main said citizens were satisfied with Indiana's call-center operations, even though callers were waiting longer than planned to speak to eligibility workers. The FSSA planned for phone hold times of only 90 seconds. Instead, callers waited an average of five minutes, Main said.
He added that many callers were understanding when call-center operators apologized for those delays. "[Clients] say, 'Are you kidding me? Five minutes on the phone? I waited 10 minutes at the bus stop just to catch the first of two buses I needed to take to the county welfare office. This is incredibly convenient for us.'"

"Want to hear a realization?" I said.
My wife Marty and I were driving to New Haven from Philadelphia and the traffic had come to a dead stop on I-95. She was trying to read a thick Power Point presentation in the front seat.
"I have had an insight."
"Jay. Not again. I thought you were giving up insights."
"I am serious."
"I am in the middle of this presentation…"
"Give it a rest for a minute. This could change your life."
"I doubt it." Marty sighed and put down the papers, "What is it?"
"Boys are fractions."
"Oh God."
"Seriously. They are fractions from the time they are 8 until they get to be 18 or so. Depends on the kid, but they are all fractions. Some are ¾'s, others ½, some are 7/8ths. All fractions, though."
"Where are you going with this?"
"So when there is a task that needs doing, a boy brings his fraction to the task and either the fraction is a large enough fraction to get the task accomplished or it isn't."
"Powerful insight, Jay. Riveting."
"Stay with me."
"I am a bit of a captive audience."
"Excellent. I love a captive audience."
"Just carry on."
"So when two boys get together they are now two fractions."
"Could you stop with the mockery?"
"Just keep up the pace."
"I would go a lot faster if you weren't already japing at my theory."
"Japing? Is that what I am doing?"
"You are japing at my hypothesis."
"So that is what it is now, a hypothesis. I had it more as…."
"Quiet, or you'll miss the insight…"
"… a rambling rumination."
"So when two boys get together and they have a task to confront you'd imagine that what I would say is…"
"…actually I can't imagine what you are going to say…"
"…that you'd take each of their factions and add them together and then the combination would either be bigger than the task or not. That's what you thought I would say, but that would be wrong."
"On so many levels."
"That would be how it would be if it was two girls, assuming girls were fractions at all."
"But you are going to say that with boys, its not."
"Correcto. Muy bien, mi esposa bonita. It is multiplication. That's the mathematics of it.
"Not addition."
"Cause when you add things you get more, but with boys you get less."
"And I am sure you are going to explain that…"
"So it's just like if you are multiplying fractions, you always get less than you start with. Like a ½ times a ¼ is an 1/8th. It's always less. And what's so beautiful about the math is that it works with any number of boys. It just keeps getting less as you get more of them. You take a ½ and a ¼ and then a third boy shows up and he could be a ¾'s on his own, but when you multiply him into a full three boy equation, you no longer even have an 1/8th – you have got yourself ¾'s of an 1/8th which is … which is … less than an 1/8th."
"Did you actually say 'a full three boy equation'."
"I did indeed."
"It takes the breath away. It is flat out amazing, Jay, how you can take a modest insight and turn it into, well, a really small insight."
"Jealousy doesn't become you, my dear. I believe I nailed that one."
"I will erect a statue."
"That would be fine. Just don't get boys to build it."

In The Caravan: a parallel review of the memoirs of two of Indian cinema's most interesting actors, Dilip Kumar and Naseeruddin Shah:
1929, an American publisher offered Sigmund Freud a five-thousand-dollar advance to write his life story. He had already published An Autobiographical Study, outlining his professional career. But as for a tell-all memoir, Freud's response was outright dismissal.
A psychologically complete and honest confession of life ... would require so much indiscretion (on my part as well as on that of others) about family, friends, and enemies, most of them still alive, that it is out of the question. What makes all autobiographies worthless, after all, is their mendacity.
Whatever one thinks of the more far-fetched applications of his theories, most people would concede that Freud knew something about the inner life. Yet, in the near-century since Freud levelled his charges against autobiography, our appetite for the genre has only grown, spilling far beyond the boundaries of the book, into the everyday flows of the virtual world. The unreliable narrator is no longer the preserve of fiction. Accusations of narcissism and opportunism may dog its footsteps, as Daniel Mendelsohn argued some years ago in the New Yorker, but the confessional memoir feels like the genre of our times.
Add this to the Indian reader's inexhaustible interest in the film world, and you have a winning combination. It is no surprise that an increasing number of volumes in the Indian cinema section of bookstores are biographies and memoirs. In just the last three years, there has been Khagesh Dev Burman's book on SD Burman (originally in Bengali), Yasmin Khalid Rafi's book on her father-in-law Mohammed Rafi (originally in Hindi),Anirudha Bhattacharjee and Vittal Balaji's RD Burman—The Man, the Music, Akshay Manwani's biography of the lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi, two books on Rajesh Khanna, and a re-issue of Vinod Mehta's Meena Kumari biography from 1972. Among autobiographies, a distinctly popular new subgenre is the interview-based book, often titled "Conversations with ...". Gulzar, AR Rahman and Waheeda Rehman have recently been thus enshrined by the prolific British film writer Nasreen Munni Kabir, and Mani Ratnam by the film critic Baradwaj Rangan. But the full-fledged autobiography still has an advantage: it may be an inherently self-indulgent form, but witnessing the narrator going off on tangents, uninterrupted by a questioner trying to keep them on track, is what makes it so pleasurable.
Dilip Kumar and Naseeruddin Shah's have been the most-talked about film autobiographies of 2014. Both are illustrious actors, known for their deep commitment to their craft. Yet there, it would seem, any similarity ends. Dilip Kumar, 91, made his debut in the 1944 Bombay Talkies film Jwar Bhata, and went on to become one of popular Hindi cinema's best-loved heroes for three decades. Even more striking was his return, after five fallow years in the 1970s, for a memorable second innings, with meaty roles appropriate to his age in films such as Kranti (1981), Shakti (1982), Vidhaata (1982), Mashaal (1984) and Saudagar (1991). Naseeruddin Shah (who is either 64 or 65, depending on whether you trust his school certificate or the slightly muddled parental memory), made his debut in Shyam Benegal's second feature Nishant (1975) and swiftly gained a reputation for his stellar performances in the cinema of what came to be called the Indian New Wave. He also did several popular Hindi films, most of them (he says) for the money, thus making no bones about his distaste for that world and its demand for a larger-than-life persona...

The Central Terminal building of the O.R Tambo international airport in Johannesburg after its inauguration by South African President Jacob Zuma on April 20, 2010.
By Sara M Moniuszko, USA TODAY
A five-year-old boy's stuffed animal snake was allegedly confiscated at the airport, leaving him "heartbroken," according to Fox News and South African newspaper The Times.
The plush snake, which was a recent birthday from his grandmother, was taken at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport Friday.
In a series of tweets, the boy's mother, Nicole Fritz, showed an image of the toy in question and explained what happened as they were going through security.
"This is the soft toy python taken from my son by @Airports_ZA . He is heartbroken," she wrote. "It was his fifth birthday present, given only last week, from his grandmother."
She continued, "The justification from @Airports_ZA is that it is a replica but as you can tell only a half-wit would mistake it for the real thing. It looks only like what it is – a child's plush toy."
She further explained to the Times that her son was wearing the plush toy around his neck as they were approaching security, which is where officials told them it would not be allowed on the flight.
"We were just so taken aback. We couldn't believe it," she said. "It's not a rubber snake. It's a soft toy. People were kind of laughing around him. Nobody thought for an instant it was real. Nobody could think it was a lifelike representation."
The airport gave her the option of throwing the snake away or checking it, but she says there was no time.
"We had been waiting in the queue for a long time. We had very little time to make it to the gate," she said.
USA TODAY has reached out to the airport for comment.

You know how hard is it to keep your makeup spotless during the rainy season? The toll is pretty harsh on face, hair and body in general. In order to be able to flash our best side it is essential to bunch up the most vital tips to keep our makeup dazzling. Apply these tips and bring out the best of your look in this season. This time of year promises quick and surprise showers that can ruin our look in the blink of an eye. Though there's no need to quit using makeup, it is still wise to acquire all the helpful professional tricks and face the rainy days with confidence and style. As the seasons change, it is recommended to learn the new way of applying cosmetics and using the right products our skin really requires.
Besides the vital skin care rituals there are other practices that must be applied for the best results.
The keywords when it comes to rainy season makeup are water-proof and light makeup. These are two qualities that are essential to surviving this period with a flawless look. If you manage to adopt the tendencies of the season you'll see the beneficial results pretty soon. Smudging and other makeup disasters can be easily prevented if you approach the problem from the right angle. Let's see the most important makeup tips for rainy season.
Makeup base
Beginning at the base it is worth mentioning that often the main cause of smudging is the excessive foundation use. Those who find it indispensable might still use a thin coat of it. However, it should be preferably water resistant.
Eye makeup
Rain immediately means waterproof mascara. Since normal mascara would quickly smudge when in contact with humidity it is recommended to use a special formula that will resist the extreme weather conditions.
It is a well-known fact that these products can't be washed off so easily.
However, with the use of the proper makeup removers this problem will be also ruled out.
Makeup artists also recommend switching the dark eye shadows with the more natural and sheer colors preferably also with a waterproof quality. The colours of the season offer endless options to look great even if the weather outside is gloomy.
It is a common mistake that ladies commit each rainy season. They use a blush with an inappropriate texture. The rainy days scream for complex compositions, that's why it is a golden rule that when sporting a water-proof makeup we should choose a mousse or cream blush that can resist the impact of humidity.
Makeup gurus often neglect the use of blush and instead practice a smashing trick. They use a bit of lipstick you can spread with your fingernails and the effect is just as gorgeous as with the use of blush.
Lip makeup
Lip gloss is the top notch no-no beauty product of the season. It might get in contact with humidity which can result in smudging and an unflattering look.
That's why you should rather rely on high quality lipstick that will fabulously top your makeup. There are several formulas and brands on the market that guarantee a long-lasting effect.
Make sure you test it beforehand in order to avoid any lip makeup accidents. You can either go for the blood red lips effect or for the classy and natural makeup trends. Choose the one you can pull off with great style in order to perfect your look

The tug of war between Republicans and Democrats over the Clean Dream Act continues as nearly 28,000 Arizona Dreamers shout from the sidelines.
As the December 8 deadline nears, their voices are getting louder, their protests are getting larger and their actions may be getting riskier.
Advocates and Dreamers are asking Congress to pass a bipartisan Dream Act that would allow undocumented immigrants who entered the country before they were 18 and have lived in the U.S. for four years to apply for permanent legal status.
The catch is, Democrats and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) allies insist that this act cannot be muddled with spending for increased border control or funding to build Trump's infamous wall.
Conservatives have warned the Republican leaders to not lump immigration issues into the tax reform bill that's currently being discussed. But as the clock ticks down, Democrats have threatened a government shutdown if the DACA program isn't addressed before Congress takes recess in December.
For Arizona State University senior and DACA recipient Belén Sisa, the movement has come to a boiling point.
"I feel like they don't feel the urgency that we feel because they're not in the position we're in," she said.
On November 9, Sisa took on the role of a political martyr. She volunteered to be one of 14 protesters arrested for obstruction and crowding while sitting on the floor of the Hart Senate building in Washington, D.C.
As the zip ties closed in around her wrists, she became a symbol larger than herself.
She thought of the families of DACA recipients who have been left waiting on pins and needles since President Donald Trump ended the program in September.
She thought of the college students who, like her, were excited to enter the workforce even though their permits may expire before they can launch their careers.
She thought of all the undocumented immigrants who were still too scared to be vocal or attend protests.
"I felt like my heart just led me to say you need to do this," Sisa said. "You need to put everything on the line for something bigger than yourself."
This is a feeling Aliento founder Reyna Montoya knows well.
Montoya has been a leader in the undocumented community since 2013, when she organized a movement to help stop a bus full of undocumented immigrants being deported from Phoenix. Her leadership expanded as she founded the group Aliento, which aims to humanize undocumented immigrants.
Montoya's activism, which recently landed her in Forbes's 30 Under 30 club, has moved from dramatic to diplomatic.
Over the holiday weekend, Montoya and fellow Dreamer Antonio Valdovinos were on a nonstop, cross-country road trip to Washington, D.C., to meet with members of Congress, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
"I think it's important that people feel empowered to take those risks," Montoya said. "At the same time it's not only about getting the attention, it's about getting the votes."
But attention is exactly what the nearly 30 Arizona Dreamers got when they traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this month.
Their November 9 action was one of the largest peaceful protests to happen in the Hart Senate building, where senators have their offices. It also prompted walkouts across the nation from New York City to San Diego.
Members of Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA) and Arizona State University's Undocumented Students for Education Equity (USEE) chanted through the halls in the Senate building before dropping banners calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to move forward on the Clean Dream Act.
While the 1,300 participants marched past senators' offices and around the Capitol, Sisa and the other arrested protesters sat in a holding cell for nearly three hours.
Those arrested were released after paying a fine and will not have a criminal charge on their record. The organization United We Dream, which orchestrated the action and trained the volunteers on how to respond to police, paid the $50 to $60 fines.
United We Dream Field Director Eli Cuna said the organization gave officers a heads-up that a massive action was happening and that participants in white shirts were willing to be arrested for the cause.
Cuna said that members of the organization were willing to put it all on the line and suggested being arrested to heightened the importance of the Clean Dream Act.
"It's not just about a piece of legislation," Cuna said. "We have been fighting for over a decade simply for the families and their existence in this country."
Cuna said none of the 14 undocumented members who were arrested were charged or fingerprinted — information that could be used by immigration officers to later deport them. This was part of the cooperation from law enforcement that Cuna and United We Dream organizers set up prior to the action.
The night before, 350 members went through role-playing scenarios to train how to react without escalating the situation. If they reacted with violence, they could have potentially jeopardized their DACA status.
The DACA program requires that recipients have a clean background, which means no federal felonies, no "significant" misdemeanors which include violent crimes, burglaries, and DUIs, and no more than two "non-significant" misdemeanors.
"It felt like a duty to me — to risk my livelihood, to risk my ability to stay in this country," Sisa said. "I didn't know what was going to happen, but I felt like I needed to use my voice to defend undocumented youth."
Immigration lawyer Phil Ortega said that as it stands now, there aren't protest-related charges, like civil disobedience, that would prompt immediate deportation. However, with an administration that is constantly in flux and especially hard on immigration, Ortega warns that this could be subject to change.
Ortega said that any risk is too great and he would not advise a client to put themselves in harm's way, much less volunteer to be arrested. He worries that by fighting to stay in this country, Dreamers may risk being kicked out of it.
"I just wish those individuals would fight the long fight instead of these emotional ones, but I do get it," he said.
Immigration lawyer Ray Ybarra Maldonado said it's more about playing it smart than playing it safe.

"There's a lot of questions to be asked, but it is a powerful message of social justice," he said.
Ybarra Maldonado said he has had clients who were charged with civil disobedience during political protests but were still able to renew their DACA status. However, he noted that DACA is a discretionary program and status could be revoked at any time.
He suggests those who want to protest consult an immigration and criminal lawyer beforehand and to ask if immigration officers will be present at the scene of the protest.
"I definitely think it's worth the calculated risk," Ybarra Maldonado said. "What's happening right now, not just to young people but to families, is a human-rights tragedy."

ATC stands for artist trading cards. They're basically mini works of art. The only rules are their size (they should measure 2.5 by 3.5 inches) and that they're meant to be traded, not sold. Which just means that people who want to sell theirs call 'em by a different name: ACEOs, or art card editions and originals. XD

Once upon a time, the elemental planes of air, fire, water, and earth orbited the Material Plane around Rothea. But then, in 510 NA, the experiments of the Atalan Empire opened a gateway to the Qlippoth, shattering those planes planes in the process and creating the Eternal Storm in the process. The formerly pure elements ended up hopelessly mixed, and the four planes became one - the Maelstrom.
In the Maelstrom, chunks of air, fire, water, and earth, as well as normally "impossible" mixtures of these elements, rotate around the "eye" of the storm - the gateway to the first sphere of the Qlippoth. Far away from the eye, the chunks are large and move slowly, but the speed of their rotation increases the closer they get to the center. There a steady stream of elemental matter crosses the planar boundary and is either deposited in the Material Plane, or devoured by the Qlippoth to build its demonic hordes.
Some speculate that the Maelstrom may one day run out of matter, but it makes no sign of doing so any time soon. What would happen at such a point is anyone's guess. In the meantime, the Maelstrom is still populated by a vast number of elemental - many of them driven insane by the cataclysm, and prone to attack anyone who approaches them.

Designer's Notes & Resources
Since D&D 4E wrote the "pure" elemental planes out of existence, I also wrote them out of existence - by moving them into the past of the setting.

Inhalants: Personal and social consequences
Last modified: Sunday, 31. May 2009 - 4:37 pm
Because many abusers begin using inhalants when they are young, they do not engage in the normal process of social, personal, and physical development during adolescence. This handicaps their physical and emotional maturity.
Moreover, the side effects of inhalants are a bad match for driving a vehicle, operating machinery, absorbing information in a classroom, offering stable friendship, participating positively in a family, or tackling any task with energy, focus, and efficiency.
Regular inhalant abusers perform poorly in school. In general, they earn low grades, score poorly on intelligence tests, experience problems with short-term memory, and have a weak ability to form abstract thoughts and exercise sound judgment. They also have a greater likelihood of developing attention deficit disorder. They tend to be absent from school a great deal, and drop out of school more often than nonusers do.
Psychological studies have shown that inhalant abusers are generally apathetic and have a negative view of the future. They have a greater likelihood of developing emotional problems, particularly anxiety, depression, and anger. They are more likely to break the law, particularly by engaging in theft and burglary, than do users of other drugs. They also tend to be disruptive, deviant, or delinquent.
Some of these problems may spring from the inhalant abuse; others may have developed before the abuse began, inclining the users to seek an escape from reality or their problems.
Incoming search terms:
- social consequences of inhalants
- social effects of inhalants
- inhalants social effects
- inhalants social consequences
- social consequences of using inhalants

We're hosting our first fund-raising event "¡Kirby-Zone!" this Friday night smack dab on New York City's Lower East Side at 103 Allen Street. You know, the neighborhood Jack Kirby worked so hard to move his family OUT of. Nevertheless, we'll have some wine, appetizers, a small silent auction, and a screening of Kirby's 1984 appearance on "The Zone Show".
The recently uncovered video interview was a hit at San Diego this past July, with Kirby's comments juxtaposing hilariously with 1980s video SFX. The video will be projected at 8:30.
"I finally got the Kirby "thing." I love his art but didn't understand the devotion until I saw this fascinating recently discovered interview" – NIcky Wheeler-Nicholson
The Kirby Museum will share our plans for our next Pop-Up on the Lower East Side that opens on Veterans' Day, and some activities planned to celebrate Kirby's 100th biirthday in 2017.
The silent auction will contain some items (not original art, nor anything signed by Kirby) we've obtained in recent years.
Along with the show, free booze! We will be joined by author and winemaker Birk O'Halloran, the owner of Iconic Wine. In addition to the wines being poured at some of the top restaurants in the country, the labels feature art by such great comic artists as Ming Doyle and Cliff Chiang. Birk will be featuring a line of his wines that retail from $18 to $60 a bottle! Guess which ones will go first? So get here early!
Advance tickets are $15, $20 at the door.
Thanks to Johnny Zone and Eric Kurland. The video was digitized and provided to the Kirby Museum by 3-D Space: The Center For Stereoscopic Photography, Art, Cinema, and Education in Los Angeles, and on the web at www.3-DSPACE.org
Are you attending NYCC, but can't come to ¡Kirby-Zone!? Be sure to stop by our booth #1040 and say hi. We'll be offering our prints and even some new t-shirts for sale,

SJ-M series
Suitable for pinpoint, high-pressure air purging static elimination
Since the SJ-M Series provides a direct static elimination structure that locates the ion generation point at the tip of the head, it enables high-speed and high-precision static elimination, where it is needed most.
[Standard probe type SJ-M021]
With its ultra-fine nozzle of ø10 mm (ø0.39"), a 0.5 MPa high-pressure air purge is possible.
[C.A.B. (Clean Air Barrier) probe type SJ-M021G]
Five times less maintenance than conventional models
[C.A.B. (Clean Air Barrier) probe type SJ-M031G/M071G]
Innovative design significantly reduces the need for cleaning/maintenance.
[Silicon probe type SJ-M031C/M071C]
Suitable for environments in which metal contamination must be avoided.
The SJ Series has adopted the pulse AC method that applies alternating high voltage to the electrode probe, producing ions of both polarities. Compared to the conventional AC method, the amount of ions generated is higher and the oscillating frequency can be changed. Therefore, the pulse AC method can be used in all conditions, from high-speed moving applications to static elimination of a work area.
The I.C.C. method conducts high-precision sensing of electrostatic charges on the target object and automatically controls ion generation quantities for the optimum level.
Since the static elimination head can be mounted close to or embedded within a metal object, it is suitable for installation into small equipment, regardless of mechanical restrictions.
The SJ-M Series provides heat resistance of up to 80°C (176°F), enabling use for applications in high-temperature environments.
Measuring conditions for comparative test conducted by
Charged voltage: +1 kV
Plate monitor: 150 mm x 150 mm 5.91" × 5.91" (20 pF)
Installation distance: 50 mm 1.97"
Measuring conditions for comparative test conducted by KEYENCE
Charged voltage: +/-1kV
Plate monitor: 150mm x 150mm 5.91" x 5.91" (20pF)
The increase in elimination time indicates how much maintenance is required.

A weight-loss supplement made by a Dallas company is the subject of government investigations and a recall in Hawaii.
Two dozen people in Hawaii suffered acute hepatitis and liver failure after using OxyElitePro.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a statement:
The latest news from around North Texas.
"The FDA advises consumers to stop using any dietary supplement products labeled as OxyElite Pro while the investigation continues."
USP Labs makes the product. Company spokesman Michael Petruzzello issued this statement:
"The company stands by the safety of all of its products. The company is cooperating with FDA on reports coming out of Hawaii. The cluster of liver issues in Hawaii is a complete mystery and nothing like this has ever been associated with OxyELITE Pro in all of the years our products have been in the market. We know of no credible evidence linking OxyELITE Pro to liver issues. The ingredients have been studied for safety, are consumed in the food supply and widely used in dietary supplements. The studies and consumption history show no negative liver issues."
The product is sold online and at retailers. Despite the government warning, it was featured at the check out counter Thursday at the GNC store on Lovers Lane in Dallas.
GNC spokesperson Laura Brophy provided an e-mail:
- OxyELITE Pro is a third party product, distributed by USP Labs, that is widely sold through numerous retailers and internet sites across the country.
- USP Labs has warranted to GNC that the product is safe for consumption and compliant with all applicable laws.
- GNC is not aware of any scientific or medical evidence that establishes that the OxyElite Pro product is unsafe.
- The FDA has not asked USP Labs to recall the OxyElite Pro product.
- Nonetheless, GNC will voluntarily remove the OxyElite Pro product from sale in its Hawaii stores during this investigation.
Employees of the FDA have been furloughed in the current government shutdown. But FDA spokesman Steven Immergut said in an e-mail:
"Regarding the shutdown, FDA is doing what it can under this difficult situation to protect public health. As is the case with this investigation, the agency is conducting "for cause" inspections where we believe an imminent threat to health exists."
The Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas specializes in weight loss.
Dietitian Meridan Zerner said Cooper recommends changes in diet and exercise before any supplements because supplements can have health consequences.
"You just don't know what you're getting in a lot of these supplements," she said.
"If the FDA is recommending that people be cautious and not take the supplement while they have a chance to review it, then absolutely nobody should be taking that."

Would we want to create a different product category for products that a purchased through subscriptions?Would it be an ongoing discount for subscriptions?

WhatiLearned.com - What I Learned
Get ready to laugh until you cry at a pint-sized Superbad that's not pulling any punches.
In the latest (ahem, extremely) red band trailer for Good Boys, we're introduced to a world of raunchy jokes that'll have you howling with laughter. Middle school was never this crazy, was it?
The movie stars Jacob Tremblay (Max), Brady Noon (Thor), and Keith L. Williams (Lucas) as three sixth graders who do their absolute best to impress girls and fellow students by going to parties they have no business being at, and getting into adult situations that will have you roaring with laughter – up to and including playing with a sex swing and sweet-talking a sex doll and stroking its face. Big yikes, but also absolutely hilarious.
When Max finds himself invited to a "kissing party," he panics because he has no idea what it's like to kiss a girl. Cue insane amounts of frenzied preparation and attempts at becoming cooler and more experienced in time for the party. Obviously, the boys go about accomplishing this in all the wrong ways…with plenty of drug and sex-related jokes peppered throughout.
Seth Rogen himself even makes a quick appearance at the beginning of the trailer to advise the movie's three pre-teen stars that they can't watch the trailer for their own movie because it's filled with so much adult content. Cue Rogen scrambling to hide his bongs, telling the kids they're just "vases." Obviously, this doesn't track with the boys, and they quickly remind him that they've seen his other movies, thank you very much, like Superbad and Sausage Party.
The movie's slated for release this summer, though there isn't a release date just yet. Luckily, you can get some of the same vibes by watching the brilliant Booksmart, which is well worth seeing. Man, we sure wish school had been at least a fraction as exciting as these movies make it seem these days.

Just share the news of her release to enter! Check out the Rafflecopter page below.
All about CAN'T GO HOME:
Everyone has secrets; secrets meant to be kept—hidden away where nobody can discover the truth. Adrian O'Donnell (aka: Dre Donley) is no exception. Dre spins tales and half-truths like it's his job, keeping the reality of his past buried deep within each lie he fabricates. On the other hand, Kathryn Howell is the exception to the rule. She's a straight-shooter, a tell-it-like-it-is, no filter kind of girl.
Kathryn's honesty and straightforwardness is the ultimate turn on for a guy like Dre. He's never met someone so sincere, so full of truth and innocence. Their chemistry is unavoidable, their connection, magnetic. When Dre sets out to make Kathryn fall for him, he doesn't realize the grave mistake he's making. Kathryn's strength and convictions do not falter, even for an irresistible man like Dre. When his past resurfaces, and the lies come tumbling forth, Kathryn must decide if his deceit and betrayal can be forgiven or if the damage is irreparable. Will the truth ultimately destroy the relationship that neither one of them could deny or even attempt to resist?
