Song Parodies -> "The Longest Film"
"The Longest Time"
"The Longest Film"
I don't know what the longest feature film ever is, or the longest "classic" film. But the following is based on personal experience.
Oh, oh, oh, yuck!
(It's the longest)
It's the longest film!
Oh, oh, yuck!
It's the longest...
If you go out to the flicks tonight (whoo-oo-oo)
be aware of reviews they would write. (ah-ah-ah)
"Titanic" made me so blue!
That f---ing movie is the longest film!
Once I thought that great big ship was gone. (whoo-oo-oo)
Now I know its legend still goes on. (ah-ah-ah)
That's where you found me
and its plot, it still confounds me.
I'm that voice that's retching in the hall (whoo-oo-oo)
and the greatest miracle of all (ah-ah-ah)
is how they're coming
in this theater they're slumming
they've all come in here for the longest film!
Maybe this film won't be so long
but you love it so, where'd I go wrong?
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
but Leo's no star, Kate's nude less than I hoped for.
Who knows how much further this film's run? (whoo-oo-oo)
Maybe "Lusitania" will be done! (ah-ah-ah)
I'll take my chances
"Hindenburg" won't have romances!
Another sequel for the longest film!
I had second thoughts at the start.
Celine Dion sings, "Go on with my heart."
Now I know my mind will have a scar.
It's horrible so far, not a bore did I hope for.
I told those girls, "You know that boat sinks!" (whoo-oo-oo)
They said, "Really?" What a bunch of dinks! (ah-ah-ah)
This film is so bad!
Yet Oscar voters gave the trophy
for Best Picture to the longest film!
(repeat 'til fade, or until the movie ends, whichever comes first)

I think my hubby and I may be the last two surviiving Titanic hold-outs. Haven't seen it, have never had any desire to see it. I do know it was hard to escape the constant hype, for the longest time. Anyway, great job, Michael.

I haven't seen it either, and I still liked your song, especially the Lusitania and Hindenburg references. Way to go, Pach-Man! d;:^)

Did you happen to see the film "Tess"? It was like watching a mini series, with two intermissions.

Not that Titanic humor is all that timely, but a great job nonetheless.

"I'm that voice that's retching in the hall." Nice.
But not only have I not seen "Titanic," I've never heard of it. What's it about?
Peregrin - December 03, 2003 - Report this comment
V Good Mike, I especially liked "Hindenburg" won't have romances!"
Rice Cube - December 03, 2003 - Report this comment
Titanic is the highest grossing chick flick of all time. It's basically about two people who meet on a ship and fall in love right before it sinks. The amazing thing is how many people went to see it anyway, knowing that the ship would go down.
Duffy - December 04, 2003 - Report this comment
All 5s, Michael! BTW, what's a "dink?" :)
Michael Pacholek - December 04, 2003 - Report this comment
Thanks, everyone. Spaff: "Titanic" ain't about "The Erection of Edmund Fitzgerald," though it might have saved a few people! Duffy: A dink is a stupid or silly person, and I needed something to rhyme with "sink." Either that, or "Spoiled the ending, got punched out by Pink."
We got a "Thank You" from MP... Why, I'm quite impressed. Keep thinking those civilized thoughts going, Michael. I know it's difficult, but It gets easier the more you say it...

The fate of the world is once more on the line, and only Wonder Woman can save it. This new chapter in the Wonder Woman story finds Diana Prince living quietly among mortals in the vibrant, sleek 1980s—an era of excess driven by the pursuit of having it all. Though she’s come into her full powers, she maintains a low profile, curating ancient artifacts and only performing her superheroic acts incognito. But now, Diana will have to step directly into the spotlight and muster all her wisdom, strength and courage in order to save mankind from a world of its own making.
Are There Any Extras During The Credits? Yes
We see a woman from the back walking through and outside market when a pole starts to fall twords a baby carriage. The myserious woman reaches out and stops the pole from falling, saving the child. We learn that this woman is Asteria (played by Lynda Carter).

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
The Flash and Superman compete race each other to see who will reach the Pacific Ocean first.
If Superman wins, Barry has to buy brunch. But if Barry wins, then he gets to tell everyone that he beat Superman.
Are There Any Extras After The Credits? Yes
We see a prison guard calling Lex Luthor to get out of his cell. When Lex doesn’t move, the guard goes into the cell to get him, but he finds it’s not Lex. We then see Deathstroke meeting Lex on a yacht. Lex says that maybe it’s time for them to form a league of their own.

Now Here’s Something You Don’t Hear Every Day: Tumblr Expects to Be Profitable This Year
March 5, 2013 at 2:37 pm PT
Say what? A social media company thinks it has figured out how to bring in more money than it spends in a year? Surely you want to brag about all those eyeballs again, right?
But profitability is what Tumblr expects to achieve in 2013, according to Bloomberg.
“We expect that the monetization will lead us to profitability this year,” were the words of head of sales Lee Brown, who joined the company last fall.
In particular, Tumblr said that the addition of paid post promotion on its mobile apps will be a big new revenue driver. Tumblr has the 50th most-used iPhone app in the U.S., according to Onavo, which doesn’t yet publish Android ranks.
So could profitability actually be within the realm of possibility? Maybe so, since Tumblr seems relatively cheap to run.
The New York City-based company has raised $125 million in venture funding and has 162 employees. Tumblr previously told Forbes it had $13 million in revenue in 2012 — with an estimated $25 million in operational costs — and it hoped for $100 million worth of revenue in 2013. That would be a year-over-year gain of 769 percent.

Young Guv Delivers 'GUV I' Track "Patterns Prevail" via New Video
Ben Cook has spent the last few years fronting No Warning, playing guitar in Fucked Up and collaborating with Terror, but he's ready to reclaim his pop status with a new album from Young Guv. Before GUV I arrives next month, he's shared the new Guv music video for "Patterns Prevail."
Of the song, Cook shared the following statement:
The track is a love letter written by my collaborator Aurora Shields, but dissolved into a song. As long as the patterns in the colours of a rainy summer sky mash together with a glowing streetlight continue to prevail in a bittersweet tangerine tone, so do the patterns in the musical notes of yearning and infatuation, of tenderness and chaos, rapture and combustion. Complimentary patterns of the night and day will always prevail. We are all experiencing sadness and happiness through love, and that's the balance of it. That's life, I suppose.
It's another sun-kissed power pop banger, to be sure, and it arrives via a new video that sees Cook perform in an empty room while puppets dance across a TV screen. The video was directed by Danielle Aphrodite Nemet and features puppetry from Nico Negron.
GUV I arrives on August 2 via Run for Cover. It marks the first of a two-part album series, with the second instalment due out this fall.

“My latest concern is that my baby is breech, meaning he’s in the wrong position for childbirth. His head is still up and it’s supposed to be down. He was supposed to turn by 32 weeks. So now, I will have to get a C-section. Or so I thought! As I lay awake late at night, researching, I’ve learned that you actually can deliver a breech baby and I feel fortunate that my doctor Paul Crane is one of the few doctors that still does this. They just don’t even teach it anymore. I have been doing everything I can to try to turn the baby.

Show moreThis archive contains 1300 photographs made by Porter C. Thayer,scanned from silver gelatin prints, held in the collection of the Brooks Memorial Library. The prints were made in 1980 from the 5x7 glass plates negatives created by Porter Thayer. These images are also available on microfilm at the Brattleboro library.
Porter Thayer was born Porter Charlie Thayer on January 6, 1882 on Main Street in Williamsville, Vermont. He grew up in the red house called the Tillotson Place in the Parish section of Newfane, Vermont.
He photographed Windham County, Vermont, beginning in 1906 through around 1920. Like most Vermont men of his generation he was a farmer, specifically an apple orchardist, managing his 50 acre apple orchard on Baker Brook Farm in Newfane. He turned to his apple business after ending his photographic career.
The postcard craze that most likely reached Vermont by about 1905, was perhaps the impetus for Porter Thayer starting up a photographic business. His diaries tell that he sold 1,197 postal cards during a six-month period at the height of his career. The cards were for sale as souvenirs to summer tourists at small general stores, local inns, boarding houses and hotels. Local folks purchased his photographs as well, especially around the Christmas season, to send to distant relatives. A Brattleboro, Vermont directory of 1909 lists Porter as advertising that he would come to anyone’s home and make images for a reasonable fee. Around 1911 he recorded that he had 720 customers. Eventually he photographed in all the towns within a 25 mile radius of his home in Newfane.
Porter Thayer perfectly fits the archetype of the town photographer. He traveled the narrow dirt roads in his buggy, behind his faithful mare Lady, who accompanied him daily. He could apparently take extended naps while Lady brought him safely home, as she always knew the way. He used two cameras: a 5 x 7 and a 6.5 x 8.5 view camera and made glass dry-plate negatives. He traveled with stacks of postcards to be delivered at stores along the way to his days work.
Working continually through seasons and years, Porter Thayer left an archive that is a cultural treasure for southeastern Vermont. The quality of his work shows that he was able to combine business needs with aesthetic ones. During the time period Porter worked, Vermont was extremely poor and rural, yet held a close-knit population that shared the labors of life. Farmers helped one another to survive in a subsistence and barter economy. For women, men, and children, life meant constant work. Thayer’s images describe the work and the tools involved. His landscape images reveal this working landscape, which today is mostly hidden by trees. The fruits of his labor as a photographer have grown in importance, as both the landscape and culture of Vermont has shifted into modern spheres of living.

Victory for State Sen. Dan Salomon in 2020 Election
Students for Life Action Congratulates State Sen. Dan Salomon on 2020 Election Victory
“The Pro-Life Generation devoted hundreds of hours of time and talent to educating Montana voters on State Sen. Dan Salomon’s pro-life record,” said SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins. “We are so excited to see him headed back to Helena to defend the preborn for another term.”
FREDERICKSBURG, V.A. and HELENA, M.T. (11-04-2020) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) congratulated State Senator Dan Salomon on his victory on Tuesday evening, against pro-choice Democrat Chase Porter Gay.
SFLAction collectively knocked 7,000 doors, made 80,000 phone calls, and sent over personal 6,000 text messages to Montana voters on behalf of State Sen. Saloman this cycle.
“There is bipartisan agreement that this election cycle was one of the most important of our lifetimes, with the potential to impact millions upon millions of present and future lives,” said SFLAction President Kristan Hawkins. “It is clear that the work SFLAction did this cycle contributed immensely to the most critical victories in the country. State Sen. Salomon’s victory tonight is one example of that. The Pro-Life Generation went on the front lines in this election, to have a voice and a vote for life.”
In months leading up to the election, SFLAction led major student activism weekends in Montana to make voters aware of S State Sen. Salomon consistently pro-life record and urge them to #VoteProLifeFirst this election cycle.
In addition to Montana, SFLAction also had a heavy presence in Arizona, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, Washington, Florida, Texas, and North Carolina.
MORE ON SFLA/SFLAction IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE: Students for Life and Students for Life Action engaged in multiple states through in-person door knocking, calls, texts, and mobilizations on campuses, calling on voters to #VotePro-LifeFirst as well reminding people of the importance of who gets to pick Supreme Court Justices, given the way in which the human rights issue of our day was hijacked by the high court 50 years ago.
In the final stretch, SFLA/SFLAction launched a new, 6-figure campaign buy in a 48-hour GOTV blitz this Monday and Tuesday designed to rally voters aged 18 to 35 to #VoteProLifeFirst. To accomplish this 48-hour GOTV blitz, SFLAction made more than 1.5 million personal text messages to cell phones, sent nearly 900,000 voicemail messages to land lines as well as launched a five-digit ad buy on social media. Among those contacted in this blitz were 273,000 new voters who were considered swing voters on the life issue as well as more than 1 million pro-life, yet low propensity voters who hadn’t voted early this fall in the following 9 states: Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Florida, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Students for Life’s GOTV blitz follows up extensive fall grassroots campaign in which SFLA/SFLAction team members and volunteers…
Made more than 523,022 phone calls
Contacted more than 1.6 million, primarily youth, voters
Sent more than 2.18 million personal text messages
Knocked on more than 150,000 doors
The #VoteProLifeFirst digital media campaign included 85 different image ads and multiple videos reaching voters whose views on abortion vary and were seen more than 8 million times. More than 2.28 million voters engaged with the efforts this fall, including the 107,000 young voters who pledged to vote pro-life first as a result.
Students for Life of America’s “Sock the Vote” campus tours also went to 46 states, calling on new voters to prioritize abortion which ends 2,362 lives each day. Students used baby socks as part of the display. This followed a very successful earlier campaign, “Sock it to Planned Parenthood,” during which SFLA held events and traveled across the country with a truck carrying 328,348 baby socks, representing the number of abortions Planned Parenthood commits each year.
In October, SFLA/SFLAction went from Alaska to Florida in a 10-state #Justice4Life tour on behalf of now Justice Amy Coney Barrett, an extension of the SFLAction Activism Weekends that included more than 731,000 voters contacted. SFLAction conducted similar student trips over the summer, knocking on more than 50,000 doors and making more than 200,000 phone calls to educate voters in Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Kansas before key Republican and Democratic primaries.

CFNMCOLLEGE
SEX LESSONS
CFNMCollege is an adult entertainment site that gives its members access to exclusive, difficult to find porn photos and videos. The scenes found in the site are all about sexual scenes meted on amateur lanky and heavy British guys. The site has all the guys naked while the girls are all clothed, which is a nice deviation from the more popular girl based porn. If you are one who is into crazy sexual scenes, where the girls spank the boys, fuck them in the assholes with toys and strap-ons, jerk them off and laugh when they come, just to mention a few, then this is the right site for you.
The site’s homepage looks good and horny well arranged with the site having nice color descriptions. The site is so unique, moving around it has been made simple by avoiding putting a lot of stuff at the homepage which in most cases creates a congested and unattractive picture. All you see are 5 pics all are well organized and placed. Then background colour of the sites blends well with all the colours wish have to be used in writing the amazing descriptions. I love the thought of the webmaster designing the short skirt uniform of the pretty girls. The skirts expose the adorable juicy thighs of the girls, I have no doubt that the holes in between these thighs are ripe juicy and tight wish I could have a real taste of this. The site has embraced modernity and as such, it can be accessed over smartphones and android.
The girls in the videos made my day, they are still fresh but to me, they are professionals in all the scenes, they made me finger as I enjoyed seeing them screwing the guys. The videos in the site are not in HD format but they can be downloaded in WMV format of 640×480. Alternatively, one could go lower and get the videos in a 320×180 WMV file. At least, the videos still look good and the download speeds are pretty amazing. However, the collection is pretty insufficient with about two dozens episodes although they can be split into clip videos for the enjoyment of the user. The length of these clips varies but is usually just a few minutes. A let down is that there are no full downloads for these scenes. Each video comes with a photo gallery but there are 19 episodes that are all in picture form. These hold a number of images per set at 1100×620 in size. All in all, the site has a good enough collection of pictures.
One thing that the people on CFNMCollege got right was the content. The content has some originality and creativity that cannot be found in other sites. I would recommend the webmaster to provide full downloads for all the scenes, so that one can have it in files. Other than that, it is a good site with actors who give it all. If you are into girls being mean to guys, then I would recommend this site for you.

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type
Disease Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a heterogeneous group of aggressive neoplasm in adults. Among these are: peripheral T cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma, extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (nasal type), enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma, hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma.
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL), or nasal NK/T cell lymphoma (angiocentric lymphoma), is an aggressive pathology, with predilection for Asian and South American populations (Barrionuevo C et al., 2007; Liang R et al., 2009). Neoplastic cells are surface CD3-, cytoplasmic CD3ε+, CD56+, cytotoxic-molecule positive, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive, with germline T-cell receptor gene (Chan JK et al., 2008). This lymphoma is almost exclusively extranodal (Kwong YL et al., 2005). Occur commonly in the nasal and upper aerodigestive region. Occasional cases present in the skin, salivary gland, testis, and gastrointestinal tract. Quantification of circulating EBV DNA is an accurate biomarker of tumor load (Au WY et al., 2005). Concomitant sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy is standard treatment. Diagnosis: The diagnosis of ENKL is made based upon the evaluation of a biopsy specimen from the site of involvement, usually in the facial area. Because the morphology of the tumor cells is so variable, it is important to consider this diagnosis in all cases of aggressive extranodal lymphoma associated with vascular invasion and necrosis.
The key diagnostic features are the demonstration of NK/T cell markers and Epstein Barr virus (EBV). Although CD56 is typically expressed, tumors that do not express CD56 may still be classified as ENKL if both cytotoxic molecules and EBV are positive (Chan JK et al., 2008).
Immunophenotype in this case can be useful; these tumors express CD2, cytoplasmic CD3, CD56, and cytotoxic granule proteins (Chan JK et al., 2008).
Etiology Etiology is poorly understood, but is related in part to infection of the tumor cells with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Expression of EBV latent membrane protein-1 by immunohistochemistry has also been described (Kanavaros P et al., 1993).
Epidemiology NK/T-cell lymphomas occur worldwide, with a strong geographic predilection for Asian population (China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia) and for Central and South American population (Mexico, Peru, Argentina and Brazil) (Kwong YL et al., 2005). Constituting 5-15% of lymphomas in these countries (Swerdlow SH et al., 2016).
The median age at presentation is 52 years (Au WY et al., 2009); however, rare cases have been reported in childhood. There is a male predominance with an approximately 2:1 male to female ratio. (Chim SC et al., 2004; Li XY et al., 2009).
Clinics The large majority of patients present with localized disease resulting in symptoms of nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and/or a destructive mass involving the nose, sinuses, or palate (Liu QF et al., 2014). Other extranodal sites may be involved either primarily (extranasal NK/T cell lymphoma) or as a direct extension of the primary tumor. These sites include the upper airway, Waldeyer's ring, gastrointestinal tract, skin, testis, lung, eye, or soft tissue (Tse E et al., 2013). Lymph nodes may be involved secondarily, but are only rarely the primary site of involvement. Bone marrow involvement and B symptoms are seen in approximately 10 and 35 percent of patients, respectively (Li YX et al., 2009).
Cytology Immunephenotype is similar to that of a NK cell. The atypical cells in most cases express CD2, CD56, and cytoplasmic CD3, but do not express surface CD3. Most cases express cytotoxic granule protein such as granzyme B, TIA-1, and perforin, and lack surface T cell receptor (TCR). Uncommon cases may express CD4, CD8, and/or CD7. (Lei KI et al., 2002).
Pathology The tumors cells can be of any size, but most commonly are either medium-sized or a mixture of small and large cells. They have a moderate amount of pale/clear cytoplasm with irregularly folded nuclei typically containing granular chromatin and inconspicuous or small nucleoli. Azurophilic granules may be seen on touch preps stained with giemsa (Swerdlow SH et al., 2008).
Treatment Therapy and prognosis are based upon the stage of the disease. In localized stages, combined modality therapy is the frequent treatment option (i.e., radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy) (Tse E et al., 2012). Radiation dose of 50 GY and concurrent therapy with reduced dose 2/3DeVIC (dexamethasone, etoposide, ifosfamide, carboplatin) or VIDL (etoposide, ifosfamide, dexamethasone, L-asparaginase).
CHOP-based regimen (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) is not recommended for NK/T-cell lymphoma (Kim SJ et al., 2010).
Other chemotherapy regimens like LVP (L-asparaginase, vincristine and prednisolone) or GELOX (gemcitabine, E. coli L-asparaginase, oxaplatin) are been used in this pathology with high rates of remissions.
In disseminated disease cases, SMILE regimen (dexamethasone, methotrexate, ifosfomide, L-asparaginase) achieves best results, but neutropenia occurred in most of the patients with high rates of serious infections (Kwong YL et al., 2012).
The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been explored in NK/T-cell lymphomas, however most studies contained small number of patients so the results are difficult to interpret.
Prognosis ENKL is an aggressive lymphoma. Without treatment survival is measured in months. The prognosis with treatment is largely related to the location and stage of disease at diagnosis.
Age over 60 years, stage III/IV disease, distant lymph node involvement, non-nasal type and detectable Epstein-Barr virus viral DNA titer are consider the most important patient information for the prognosis determination.
A high percentage of these tumors overexpress the p53 tumor suppressor protein, with about one-quarter showing evidence of p53 mutation (Quintanilla-Martinez L et al., 2001). In most other tumor types, p21 overexpression is linked to wild-type p53 expression, but in this tumor it has been found even with mutant p53 or low p53 expression.
Other tumor suppressor genes that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ENKL include PRDM1 and FOXO3 (Karube et al., 2011). The gene PRDM1 (alias BLIMP1) is particularly interesting because it regulates the amduration, homeostasis and proliferation of NK cells (Kallies A et al., 2011). Several oncogenic pathways are activated, including Notch-1, Wnt, JAK/STAT, AKT, and nuclear factor kB. Recently, hole-exome sequencing has identified somatic-activating mutations of the JAK3 gene in 35% of NK/T-cell lymphomas (Koo GC et al., 2012) resulting in cytokine-independent constitutive JAK-STAT activation.
Cytogenetics Morphological The TCR and immunoglobulin (Ig) genes are usually germline, but a small fraction of cases demonstrate clonal rearrangement of TCR genes, suggesting derivation from a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (Lipford et al., 1988). Clonal EBV genomes are virtually always present. In situ hybridization for EVB encoded small nuclear RNAs is the preferred method of demonstrating the presence of EBV (Lei KL et al, 2002).

The Astros Newest Collin Card!
August 19, 2014 99 Reclass - Blitz Weekly Archives
Jose Altuve is on pace to break the Houston Astros single season hit record. Photo Courtesy: Darryl Briggs
By Will Martin
It wasn’t until September 13, 2013 that the Houston Astros reached the 51 win mark in their inaugural season in the American League amidst a sea of youth, new management, and a slew of playoff bound teams to finish out September.
A losing streak that reached 15 games when the year ended. The 2013 Astros finished 51-111. Forgettable but yet a start.
August 15, 2014 the Astros had to go extras to finally secure a win at Fenway Park-their first-by a score of 5-3. Tony Sipp getting the win one after Scott Feldman had a hard luck loss on Thursday after being staked to a 4-0 lead in Boston only to get pummeled 9-4.
Old time Ranger fans will remember a similar fate when Feldman had a start in Boston 08/08/08 and the Beantowners put up a ten spot in one inning of an absolute blowout.
In case you wonder the Astros are now (including Sunday’s game) 6-17 lifetime against the BoSox. Last month Boston took two of three in a visit to Minute Maid Park. Boston was the last ballpark the Houston franchise known as the Astros/Colt 45s had not won a game.
Saturday night at Fenway Park was your typical slugfest as Jose Altuve, Chris Carter, Dexter Fowler, Marwin Gonzalez, and Jason Castro each had multi-hit games. What was a 6-3 lead after five innings became reduced to a 10-7 juggernaut won by Boston.
After Sunday’s finale in Boston, Houston enjoyed having Monday off before continuing a ten game road trip in the Bronx with the Yankees followed by a visit to Lake Erie and the Cleveland Indians for three. Their longest road trip of the season.
Collin McHugh (5-9) got the starting nod Sunday at Fenway. As this goes to print McHugh has been absolute money in the month of August with an ERA of 1.40. That’s fifth best in the American League. McHugh also ranks seventh in the month for strikeouts per game (9.57 per 9 innings) and currently ranking fifth for opponents batting average when he takes the mound (.205). Ahead of Collin for that distinction are Danny Duffy (.202), Chris Sale (.199), Garrett Richards and Felix Hernandez (.195).
Backed by another strong start by Collin McHugh (six innings 1-run 7 hits 4 walks 6 strikeouts) homers by Jose Altuve (6), Dexter Fowler (7), and Jon Singleton (11) the Astros rolled to an 8-1 victory over the Red Sox and a split of their four game set.
Having now exceeded 2013 with the magical mark of 52 wins. Houston has avoided the cellar since July 9, 2014.
With his four hits (one a grand slam) August 17, Jose Altuve now sits at 173 for the season. His numbers continue to amaze and create eye rolls. Altuve all alone with the hits lead, stolen bases (46), multiple hit games (53) and batting average (.340). In chasing a hits record for the Astros, Jose just needs to surpass 210 hits to shatter the standard set forth by Craig Biggio in 1998. Currently Altuve is on pace to reach 223 hits.
The grand slam hit by Altuve made possible after an overturned call/challenge on a double play call in the second inning.
Chris Carter continues to swing a hot bat. Since July 1 his 16 homers and 39 RBI’s leads the AL. Currently at 29 dingers his next will make him the first Astro to crank out 30 since Carlos Lee (32) and Lance Berkman (34) in 2007. Carter also sits first in Slugging Percentage (.713) and OPS (On base plus slugging pct-1.083).
Dallas Keuchel recently recorded his 15th quality start of 2014. In addition he became the first hurler since Randy Johnson (1998) to record four complete games.
With 38 games left to go in 2014 if this team just goes 19-19 its a 70 win season, an 18 game improvement, they’ll avoid 100 losses for the first time since 2010. 2015 this ballclub will still be one of the younger groups in all of baseball-currently at 26.9 years of age.
In closing, don’t adjust your TV sets if you saw something weird on NESN Sunday. A longtime coach and scout within the Houston organization passed away on August 12. Gordy Mackenzie joined the Houston family as a minor league instructor from 1999-2001. He took up scouting from 2004-2008 before getting involved with the Gulf Coast League.
On August 15 all of the Astros minor league affiliates also wore their socks high to honor Mackenzie’s memory.
Looking ahead to September there is a possibility we could see a return to the mound for Matt Albers and Jesse Crain. This would be beneficial as Jeff Luhnow gets to ponder whether their options are picked up or if they can get value for them via a trade in the offseason.
“He (Albers) was great at the beginning of the year, and we just haven’t seen anything since then,” Luhnow said. “It’s important for him to have a big month of September, not only for our option, but also in case we decline it and he can prove he’s healthy for other teams.”
Might we see a minor league assignment for Matt or Jesse before they play for Coach Porter?
“We’re running into a little bit of a time constraint,” Luhnow said. “I would like to get him out in front of hitters, whether we’ll do that in a simulated game at Minute Maid Park or on the road with a Minor League affiliate. It’s important he faces live action fairly soon, and I’m hopeful that’s coming.”
Crain appears to be closer by comparison.
“I had a conversation with him (Jesse) right before we left to come on this road trip and he said he had one of his best throwing sessions so far this year, and that’s a good sign,” Luhnow said. “He’s got to get over the last hump, and hopefully it will happen. It would be nice to have those two guys in the bullpen in September to help us win some games. I’m sure they want to do that as well so they can establish something going into next year.”

HomeSportsBasketballNBAMavericks skid finally ends, sign Derek Fisher
Mavericks skid finally ends, sign Derek Fisher
December 5, 2012 NBA, Sports
By Geoff Case
Starting Point Guard still undecided.
The loss of Jason Kidd has arguably been the toughest the Mavericks’ roster transitions in recent history. They could always depend on Kidd to run the offense efficiently and limit costly turnovers. These are things that ultimately lost Darren Collision his starting role in the first quarter of the young season. In fact, the newly signed veteran Derek Fisher got the start a day after the 16-year veteran’s first practice with the Mavs. While Fisher’s stat line was modest – two points on 1-of-8 shooting and three assists – in his first action since helping Oklahoma City reach the NBA Finals last year. To Rick Carlisle and Collison’s credit, he has looked much better coming off the bench. Collison, who missed a game with a sprained finger said he wasn’t thrilled to be coming off the bench after starting the first 14 games. Collison however seems to be taking his benching with professionalism for the most part. He repeatedly says that he’ll do whatever the team need him to do. The Mavs are likely going to keep their eye on other options at the position but they can’t expect the 38 year-old Derek Fisher to realistically play a major role. He did seem to calm the seas a bit in crunch time that is something the Mavericks desperately needed after basically giving away a few games in the fourth quarter this season with unforced turnovers. Right now, Darren Collison has the sheer talent and ability to be a better player than Derek Fisher. It’s almost like Collison is trying so hard to live up to that potential he’s been forcing shots and passes. The Mavericks need a steady hand guiding this roster and someone that can help with the rebounding. If the Fisher promotion remains permanent and Collison’s struggles continue, it’s hard to see the Mavericks making much noise this season.
Upcoming schedule:
12/6 @Phoenix Suns:
The Suns are in a complete rebuild mode following the departure of Steve Nash to the Lakers but that won’t stop them from offer elite customer service. The Suns organization is offering a money back refund for any fans that purchase tickets to a game and are unsatisfied. This is a game the Mavericks need to win.
12/8 @Houston Rockets
The Rockets finally got their superstar in James Harden and will be looking to build a roster around him. They are an exciting team to watch because a backcourt featuring Jeremy Lin and James Harden is absolutely electric and anything can happen. The Mavericks couldn’t stop Harden in the playoffs last year so don’t expect them to figure it out now. However, Dauntay Jones might have something to say about that.
12/10 Sacramento Kings
Demarcus Cousins might have 20+ rebounds this game with the way the Mavericks have been hitting the glass. On paper the Mavericks should have a chance to steal this one sans Nowitzki but if Cousins is motivated, watch out.
12/12 @ Boston Celtics
Jason Terry’s new home is treating him nicely but the absence of Ray Allen is something that Terry can’t even replace. They are a salty veteran team that should take care of the Mavs. I will be watching to see if the new Mavs respond to the evitable intimidation tactics the Celtics will throw their way. It should tell us a lot about how these young guys will respond to a pressure intense playoff atmostphere.

WORLD OF DARRENF
shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES
I blog when I go abroad, and occasionally when I do stuff in the UK too. There's a nicer interface over here.
Sleep is right
One of the things I do when on proper holiday, not manic holiday, is recreationally sleep. So even having fixed my jet lag a bit, and in a house full of activity with two young kids off to daycare and school, I slept in til 1100 on Tuesday. It were bliss. And actually this happened most days. There's really not much in my plans for Sydney to be honest - it's my 7th visit, to my family, I'm staying in a suburban house, and it doesn't feel foreign at all. This is not least because they drive on the left, as they had in Bali and Malaysia. I hadn't realised before this trip just how much familiarity and sovereignty I attach to left driving countries. If you drive on the queen's side of the road, you ain't foreign. You're easy to navigate on foot and that means I am home.
Started off listening to a couple of Steve Austin podcasts, he interviews current WWE stars without staying in character or storyline and it's super interesting. And then I went shopping. I needed to buy some running shoes because there wasn't enough space in my bags for mine, and I was due to do parkrun on Saturday. Naturally this meant I had to wear my RUNNING SUCKS nike t-shirt. Bought a pair, failed to buy a hat, and went down to neutral bay wharf for a boat to the city.
From there I was actually going to do something new and touristy - a trip to Cockatoo Island. You get there by public transport, but it's an old historic island full of convict stories and shipbuilding works and etc. It's great, a self guided non-audio tour around quarries and old shipyards and prison cells and officers' quarters, the lot. One of the convict stories is about an escape in 1863 about a guy who had been sentenced to 7 years in 1856. Are they sure he wasn't just y'know, let free?
Cockatoo island also has Sydney's only pub/bar on an island, which did not publish its opening hours on the pamphlet nor at the venue itself, but only on the website. Which told me it wasn't open on Mondays and Tuesdays. Fail. And the boat had a replacement bus service schedule poster. It's an island. Bus?
A GIANT cruise ship had come in overnight. Took a few photos for Chris.
More shopping. It's all very well buying a new ipad but when it's a different size to your last one, you need a case. The girl behind the till asked me where I'd bought my shirt, and was about the 5th person to comment on it after the old woman who refused to run after her blown-away coke can, the school kids who'd said "running doesn't suck!" and the chugger who was so distraught that I wasn't local and fleeceable.
Back home after an ice cream, for more tea time and bedtime chaos followed by an argument about whether natural talent exists. It does. Kevin is wrong.
Another lazy day on Wednesday, another midday start. Kept racking up the boat rides with a trip to Watsons Bay, essentially an OAP day out just for fish and chips at Doyle's. Oh my god, they were so worth it. Had to wait 45 minutes for the return ferry as they seem to take a lunch break, and on the way back there was a pretty decent Red Arrows style display over the harbour. Popped round to Darling Harbour for the microbrewery which served a very decent stout, and realised I've never had a Guinness in Sydney, or at least not one I could recall.
Got the Manly Ferry back, and the free wifi forced you to fill out a poll before it activated. Did I support their application for a licence to serve booze? Would I be a likely purchaser of booze? Quickly checked that the pope still shits in the woods and bears are catholic, failed to find the OF FUCKING COURSE option.
Thursday, also not overly busy. The UK weather had kicked in now, so that when I left the house to walk to Manly the rain was hotter than the shower I'd just had. The wind was grim too, so my original plan to meet Kevin for external pie at Harry's Cafe de Wheels suddenly turned into a solo jaunt to The Australian for kangaroo pizza and a beer made by a brewery younger than 12 months old, which was called Wayward Charmer and was DELICIOUS. This would, presumably, be my last day on the sauce, since I had a 6am start for a 5km run scheduled for Saturday, and flying on Sunday without wanting to be hungover. That probably explains why I had 2 gins and 2 whiskeys back at the house.

Thomas Crow of Wilmington, Delaware. John Erwin cabinetmaker. Tall clock. LL115.
This is a very fine clock made by Thomas Crow of Wilmington, Delaware. The case is attributed to John Erwin. This fine example was made circa 1790.
This case was made in the shop of the Erwin Family. This is according to Charles Gilpin Dorman, author of “Delaware Cabinet Makers” written in 1960. The use of a recessed door panel and base panel are trademarks of cased clocks made in this shop. John Erwin, worked from the 1750’s until the early 1790’s. His son James worked with him as early as the 1770’s. James took over the family business after John Erwin retired. The Erwin’s were often called upon to case many of Thomas Crow’s clocks. They always chose outstanding pieces of figured wood for the fronts of their clock cases. A similar case is illustrated in DELAWARE CLOCKS written by Philip D. Zimmerman. It is illustrated on page 49. That clock was also advertised by David Stockwell in Antiques 128, no. 4 (October 1985). 555.
This well proportioned example stands on boldly formed ogee bracket feet. The front panel used in the construction of the base is recessed and is nicely figured. The waist section is quite long which accentuates the proportions. It is fitted with a nicely shaped waist door. This waist door also features a recessed panel. The wood selected for this use is quite good having a crotch grain pattern. The bonnet features a swan’s neck design that terminate in two wonderfully carved wooden rosettes. Three turned wooden finials surmount this case. Four fully turned bonnet columns are fitted on the four corners of this hood. The hood door is arched and fitted with glass. It is hinged and opens to access the painted iron dial.
This painted dial is fitted to the movement with a false plate. This dial is signed by the clockmaker in an unusual location. It is signed just above the hour twelve on the time track. It reads, “Thomas Crow – Wilmington.” The spandrel areas are decorated with gilt design that features urns that are oriented in a vertical fashion. Much of design is raised off the surface of the dial with applied gesso. The dial displays the hours with Roman numerals. The five minute markers are an Arabic form. A subsidiary seconds dial and the calendar date are displayed inside the time ring.
This fine movement is constructed in brass and is good quality. Four turned pillars support the two brass plates. Hardened steel shafts support the polished steel pinions and brass gearing. The winding drums are grooved. The escapement is designed as a recoil format. The movement is weight driven and designed to run eight days on a full wind. It is a two train or a time and strike design having a rack and snail striking system. As a result, it will strike each hour on the hour. This is done on a cast iron bell which is mounted above the movement. Thomas Crow was in the habit of carefully inscribing his heavily constructed movements, especially those having the newly introduced white enameled iron dials with the words “ MADE BY THOMAS CROW.” This was often followed by “WILMINGTON” and then less commonly the date of manufacture. This particular clock bears the inscription on the front plate: “Made by Thomas Crow / January 1790.”
This clock stands and impressive 8 feet 4 inches tall. It is inventory number LL-115.
About Thomas Crow of Wilmington, Delaware.
Thomas Crow was the son of George Crow who was also a Wilmington, Delaware clockmaker. Thomas appears to have been involved in clockmaking as early as 1770. He becomes one of Delaware’s most prolific and best known clockmakers. He is recorded to have served the public in several local government positions. In 1805, he moves through Philadelphia and later to West Chester, Pennsylvania during the period 1808 to 1810. One can find examples of his work in the collections of Winterthur Museum and the Briggs Museum of Art.

Main > Fairy tale > All authors > Astrid Lindgren > Fairy tale " Karlsson on the Roof"
“It’s my horrid little brother,” said Betty. “I’ll teach him a lesson …”
Eric could not stop laughing.
“Of course she likes you,” he shouted. “And why shouldn’t she? Betty likes all boys, and that’s a fact.”
Then, in the silence that followed, there was a thud and still more laughter.
“Calm, be calm!” whispered Karlsson when the tent collapsed in their wild flight for the door.
Eric was as calm as he could be in the circumstances, although he was still bubbling with laughter, and Karlsson had fallen right across him so that he did not quite know which legs were his own and which were Karlsson’s, and he knew that Betty would catch up with them at any moment.
They scrambled to their feet as fast as they could and rushed toward Eric’s room in wild panic, because Betty was close behind.
“Calm, be calm!” whispered Karlsson, and his fat little legs beat like drumsticks under the blanket as he ran. “The World’s Best Speed Runner, that’s Karlsson-on-the Roof!” he whispered, but he sounded breathless.
Eric was not bad at running either. And they certainly were in a hurry. Only in the nick of time did they reach the safety of Eric’s room. Karlsson hastily turned the key in the lock and stood there, laughing quietly, pleased and satisfied, while Betty hammered at the door.
“You wait, Eric, till I get hold of you!” shouted Betty angrily.
“But I didn’t show myself,” Eric shouted back, and there were giggles behind the door again.
There were two of them giggling, and Betty would probably have noticed it if she had not been so angry.
Chapter 4 - Karlsson Bets
Eric came home from school one day looking angry and with a big lump on his forehead. Mommy was in the kitchen, and she was just as upset about the lump as Eric had hoped she would be.
“Oh, darling Eric, whatever’s happened?” she exclaimed, putting her arms around him.
“Christopher threw a stone at me,” replied Eric crossly. !
“My goodness!” said Mommy. “What a horrid boy! Why didn’t you come and tell me?”
Eric shrugged his shoulders.

In a village there lived two men who had the self-same name. Both were named Claus. But one of them owned four horses, and the other owned only one horse; so to distinguish between them people called the man who had four horses Big Claus, and the man who had only one horse Little Claus. Now I'll tell you what happened to these two, for this is a true story.

EU to launch investigation into Apple/Shazam merger
EU-Policies | April 24, 2018 | Digital Economy, Economy, News | No Comments
After requests from several European countries, including France, Italy, Spain and Sweden, the EU has announced it will be launching an investigation into Apple’s acquisition of Shazam. Shazam is the world’s leading music recognition system. It has a total of 1 billion downloads and is used 20 million times a day on average. Apple’s deal to buy the app, which allows users to identify songs via their smartphone and link them to music subscription services, is worth $400 million and was confirmed in December last year.
What are the concerns?
In the last three years, Apple Music has become the second largest music streaming service provider in Europe. Shazam is the leading music recognition app, both in the EU and worldwide. The EU plans to launch an in depth investigation under the EU Merger Regulation over the following concerns:
The strong market position of both Apple and Shazam could mean a merger could harm consumer choice
The merger could give Apple an unfair advantage over its competitors through access to user data
This could help Apple to unfairly gain customers over other sites
Shazam could hold commercially sensitive data on Apple’s competitors and consumers
How will the commission respond?
The commission has noted that Apple Music has now become the second biggest music streaming service in the whole of Europe. In a statement, they said: “Access to such data could allow Apple to directly target its competitors’ customers and encourage them to switch to Apple Music. As a result, competing music streaming services could be put at a competitive disadvantage.” They added that the investigation will need to look at the effect the merger could have on competition; for example, whether Apple would be discontinuing referrals from Shazam to other sites like Spotify or Deezer.
Competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager said: “The way people listen to music has changed significantly in recent years, with more and more Europeans using music streaming services. Our investigation aims to ensure that music fans will continue to enjoy attractive music streaming offers and won’t face less choice as a result of this proposed merger.”

From the crummy and rude glory hole bandits of Newark's Penn Station to the cherry blossom lovers found just north of the city, there's a thread that stitches these disparate elements. Kids run across the boulevard as the soundtrack wafts over the streets. The few bucks forked over to the pregnant lady down on her luck could be the same notes used to cop a flavorful bouquet for a romantic conquest. The triggerman's itchy index is used both to spill rivals and thrill lovers. The Jack Moves are what this sounds like on wax.
Painted by a sound reflective of the city’s seaside soul and the Newark Jack Swing played from transistor radios and boom boxes placed on competing window sills, The Jack Moves (Zee Desmondes, Teddy Powell) narrative is artfully carried out on the band's sophomore offering and Everloving debut, Free Money.
As with most art created in earnest, the band's music has the ability to occupy spaces beyond its origin city. A vehicle spanning coasts and subcultures, perhaps unintended. Out west, it wouldn't be surprising to hear some Jack Moves ballad billowing from a lowrider during a backseat make-out session. Meanwhile in Japan, their hit song was hawking Big Macs™ at Mickey Deeznuts. The band’s self-titled Wax Poetics debut drew comparisons to "Off the Wall" era Michael Jackson, The Escorts and the Whatnauts. The Jack Moves then hit the road playing supporting dates, traveling the world. From Brixton Academy and Red Rocks Amphitheater, to the strange familiarity of the cherry blossomed avenues of Osaka and Tokyo.
And so it should come as something of a surprise that The Jack Moves would record most of their latest material on the fringe of Los Angeles, placing their intrinsically east coast essence into the hands of idiot-shaman and occasional platinum record producer, JP Plunier. But way out west the music was unshackled and this new sound was soul, untethered from the chains of the past.
Free Money twists and grooves, chugs and grinds, and sways - a modern, smashed-up hybrid devoid of nostalgic put-ons. Strangely enough this album could be the bastard child of The Stones “Some Girls” and Drake’s “More Life”. Underneath Powell’s sepia toned soul rhythms, Desmondes' honeyed vocals sing incantations and love letters to unbelievers ("Penn Station"), lovers ("Sunshine," "Red Lights"), ancient beings ("Three The Hard Way") and addicts — both digital and pharmaceutical ("Wantin' You,” "Money Clouds”) — all searching for something: a fix, a fuck, a dollar, a safe place, a friend, a home. Swipe left. Swipe right. Into a tangled void of fear and longing.
These are the songs young beat-choppers will be sampling in the post-millennial era.

Rep. Debra Lekanoff Earns Fuse Legislator of the Week Award
Freshman representative is already leading on voting access and protecting Puget Sound
Fuse Washington named Rep. Debra Lekanoff (D-Bow) as the “Legislator of the Week” for her work to expand voting access, protect Puget Sound, and help keep seniors and people with disabilities in their homes.
“Rep. Debra Lekanoff has hit the ground running in Olympia putting people first, both in her district and across the state,” said Fuse Campaign Director Jamielyn Wheeler. “She’s already making an impact in just her first few weeks on the job.”
Lekanoff is the prime sponsor of legislation to protect orcas by improving the safety of oil transportation in Puget Sound. In addition, Lekanoff is sponsoring a bill to reduce some property taxes for seniors, people with disabilities, and disabled veterans as well as the Working Families Tax Credit. As if that weren’t enough for a freshman representative, Lekanoff is the prime sponsor of the Native American Voting Rights Act of Washington in the House, HB 1339. This would protect tribal members in Washington and prevent the type of discrimination Native Americans faced in North Dakota this last year.
“Lekanoff is using her office to advocate for those who are often left out of the political process,” Wheeler said. “We can’t wait to see what she accomplishes for the people of Northwest Washington in the months and years to come.”
Previous winners of the “Legislator of the Week” award include Rep. Christine Kilduff (D-University Place) for her work supporting veterans and Rep. Tana Senn (D-Mercer Island) for her work to ensure equal pay for women.

Trump And Biden Clash In Chaotic Debate
Both candidates repeatedly interrupted each other on the topics of Coronavirus, Supreme Court nominations, the economy and even each other’s personal lives. Photo by Getty Images.
By Alexis McCowan, Howard University News Service
On Tuesday evening, Americans tuned in to watch President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden challenge each other face to face in their first presidential debate.
The debate in Cleveland, Ohio was full of talk, but serious policy was not addressed. Both candidates repeatedly interrupted each other on the topics of Coronavirus, Supreme Court nominations, the economy and even each other’s personal lives. Here are a few highlights from what people are calling a bitter debate.
Vacancy in the Supreme Court
The first question to both men was why their position is correct on selecting a Supreme Court nominee in an election year.
Trump recently nominated conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the seat left vacant by the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“We won the election,” Trump said. “Elections have consequences.”
Biden countered this remark by saying that citizens have a right to have a say and that “we should wait” until after the presidential election to select the next justice.
Biden was not able to talk for long before being interrupted by Trump, quickly leading to a quarrel.
Wallace made several failed attempts to pacify Trump.
After a few exchanges between the two candidates, Wallace jumped in with the aim of ending the bickering, but he soon started to bicker with Trump himself.
“Please let the vice president talk,” said Wallace.
This would be the first of many interruptions throughout the night.
Trump fails to condemn white supremacists
In another segment, Trump failed to explicitly condemn white supremacists. Wallace asked if Trump would publicly “condemn White supremacists and militia groups and say they need to stand down and not add to the violence.” He immediately directed his attention to Antifa.
“I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing,” Trump said, referring to violence at demonstrations.
Trump said, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left.”
“The commander in chief refused to condemn White supremacy on the global stage in front of my children, in front of everybody’s families, and he was given the opportunity multiple times to condemn White supremacy and he gave a wink and a nod to a racist, Nazi, murderous organization,” said Van Jones, the CNN political commentator.
Trump defends himself by bullying Biden
With more 200,000 Americans deaths from COVID-19 and a spike in cases in some parts of the country, Trump was asked about his handling of the Coronavirus thus far. He took the opportunity to insult Biden’s intelligence instead of addressing the question.
Biden said, “He panicked or just looked at the stock market, one of the two, because guess what?” he continued, “A lot of people died and a lot more are going to die unless he gets a lot smarter a lot quicker.”
In response, Trump said, “Did you use the word smart?” adding, “You graduated either the lowest or almost the lowest in your class. Don’t ever use the word ‘smart’ with me.”
He continued with a hypothetical.
If Biden was in office, “Two million would be dead now,” he said.
After the disjointed first meeting between Trump and Joe Biden, the presidential debate commission says it will soon adopt changes to its format to avoid a repeat of the
The commission said Wednesday that the debate “made clear that additional structure should be added to the format of the remaining debates to ensure a more orderly discussion of the issues.”

Forget Doing This with your Russian Girls, Do This
The Russian Girl Game
The spine of the Realist custom was nonetheless the escape plot.121 There was additionally a transparent emphasis on socio-political themes. The most revolutionary factor in women’s novels from the center of the century is the revision of ladies characters. Female characters refuse to be solely ’silent bearers of ideology’95 and begin to talk. To permit girls to speak presupposes that they’re given roles as narrators, as major characters and that they appear as actors in a cultural and historical context; they converse in home spheres, and with different girls. Among the foremost prose-writers who rewrite girls characters and give voices to ladies of their domestic lives are Evgeniia Tur (Elizaveta Vasil’evna Salias de Turnemir, 1815–ninety two), Nadezhda Stepanovna Sokhanskaia and Iuliia Valerianovna Zhadovskaia (1824–83), who wrote from the 1850s to the 1870s.
A few women, corresponding to Ella Pamfilova of the Republican Party, Socialist Workers‘ Party chief Lyudmila Vartazarova, and Valeriya Novodvorskaya, chief of the Democratic Union, have established themselves as influential political figures. Pamfilova has gained specific stature as an advocate on behalf of women and aged individuals. The regulation lists one hundred occupations that are forbidden to ladies, as they are considered too dangerous to their health, particularly reproductive health (till 2019 the figure was 456 ). The quickly expanding private sector has provided girls new employment opportunities, but most of the Soviet stereotypes remain. The most incessantly offered job in new companies is that of sekretarsha (secretary/receptionist), and commercials for such positions in private-sector companies often specify bodily attractiveness as a main requirement . Russian law offers for as a lot as three years‘ imprisonment for sexual harassment, but the law rarely is enforced.
“We were outraged by the truth that they decided they’ll really management our sex life — who we kiss or go on dates with,” mentioned Gribatskaya, who led the drive. In the primary week of the global soccer tournament, Russian lawmaker Tamara Pletnyova warned Russian women towards turning into romantically involved with foreigners, lest they need to find yourself raising their kids alone. She added it was much more of a problem if the men had been from a unique race. Still, the reaction in opposition to Russian girls’s World Cup dalliances has been so robust that some feminists in Russia think it might truly advance their cause by surprising even conservative girls who wouldn’t identify themselves as feminists. The widespread, vehement criticism has shown the dominance of patriarchal and sexist views in Russia, the place the idea of gender equality is a era behind that of the West’s. Russian women who’ve dated the soccer followers have been shamed by some Russian commentators, denounced for allegedly undermining the country’s morals and gene pool. Another newspaper – Kremlin-pleasant Komsomolskaya Pravda – advised ladies the way to “hook up with a foreigner”.
When gang-raped girls in Königsberg begged their attackers afterwards to put them out of their distress, the Red Army men seem to have felt insulted. „Only German soldiers do that.“ The Red Army had managed to persuade itself that as a result of it had assumed the moral mission to liberate Europe from fascism it may behave totally as it liked, both personally and politically. Drink of every selection, together with harmful chemicals seized from laboratories and workshops, was a significant component within the violence. It appears as if Soviet troopers wanted alcoholic braveness to assault a lady. But then, all too usually, they drank an excessive amount of and, unable to finish the act, used the bottle as a substitute with appalling impact.
Yet inside a few days, a pattern emerged of soldiers flashing torches within the faces of girls huddled within the bunkers to decide on their victims. This process of selection, versus the indiscriminate violence proven earlier, indicates a definite change.
However, state-affiliated opinion pollsters are forecasting higher figures. Not all women of all ages will be the actual appear, and so the neatest selection is all the time to concentrate to what she has to specific. Also, it is advisable to speak with individuals who all know the scale of the star of the occasion really.
The Hidden Treasure Of Russian Girls
A entire hour remained earlier than the start of the exams, however the foyer and corridors of the Krasnodar Institute of Food Industry had been crammed with would-be college students. Like many of the different ladies from the provinces, Tania, Lida, and I couldn’t stand still. We knew there were 4 instances as many candidates as there were openings— a great purpose to be nervous! Only a couple of individuals strolled calmly back and forth, as though they have been there to give, rather than take, the exams. I cannot miss the chance that has been given me; one is not twice provided the chance of leaving Soviet Russia unmolested. When the information of Nicholas II’s abdication and the formation of the Provisional Government reached us, it caught us utterly unawares. For the primary time ever I regretted the truth that I was in the middle of nowhere, removed from Moscow, at this historic moment.
A floundering ruble isn’t prone to be enough to change that development, advised courting coach Ponomaryova. Indeed, in her view, the financial crisis has made Moscow women want to stick to the acquainted. During the pace relationship session, most girls advised the Moscow Times reporter that relationship a Russian man would be easier and cause less friction. Tolstykh mentioned that more journey expertise meant the younger era of Russian ladies not seen foreigners via „rose-colored glasses.“
Akhmatova’s most notable work and tribute to her struggling underneath Stalin’s regime, Rekviem , was solely revealed after her death in 1989. The collective made global headlines for his or her protest music inside Moscow’s Church of Christ Our Saviour, and subsequent arrest and detention. Originally an activist group protesting the therapy of Russia’s marginalised LGBTQ+ community, the members expanded their activism to protest against Putin’s authorities. Now international pop-tradition icons, the balaclava-clad girls uncovered Putin’s intolerance to dissidence, and other https://bestasianwomen.com/russian-woman/ people around the globe rallied behind them throughout their incarceration.

She doesn’t see her stalker-like surveillance of your social network accounts as a violation of your personal house or proper to privateness. She is simply keeping tabs on issues to be able to prevent them from spinning uncontrolled.
Newer forms of activism are more adaptable and make full use of social media, whereas a few of the long-standing organizations are disappearing because of the country’s conservative flip and lack of international funding. More than 70 people, about 60 % based in Russia, attended the convention, and every of the six virtual roundtables introduced together between 35 and forty five participants.
The following part focuses on the tumultuous transition interval and temporary second of sexual revolution and liberation within the Nineteen Nineties, when discourse about intercourse, sexuality and gender was opened. Because of time constraints, the convention discussions needed to omit a wide range of problems present within feminism and activism, however did touch on the difficult relationship between the 2. It is not any secret that regardless of a current resurgence of curiosity in feminism, the word itself has negative connotations in Russia, and female activists usually draw back from that label, even if their sensible work reflects feminist ideas. Still, as lots of the conference individuals emphasised, the important thing to success lies in solidarity, including solidarity across gender divides and ideological strains. One can argue that it is time for feminine activists to embrace feminism, for men to turn out to be true allies in pursuit of women’s rights, and for feminists to affix the fight for wider social change.

Much of Russian politics and economic system is casual, and necessary choices typically are made outdoors formal establishments, in spaces that exclude women—corresponding to in males’s restrooms and saunas or on hunting and fishing journeys. In reflecting on the post-Soviet experience of activism, individuals known as for the solidarity of Russian women and the solidarity of Russian civil society organizations that may transcend a ladies’s or feminist movement. The coercive orientation of Russia’s political regime and efforts by conservative forces create a context by which such solidarity is completely important. In right now’s Russia, feminist activism varies relying on organization kind and how the different organizations deploy technology to realize their targets.

Articles > Reviews > Brave: A Tale of Bears, Conflict and Needlework
by Chartreuse 15/8/2012 9.31
Brave opened at my local mutliplex in one of the two big screens to an audience of some two dozen, mostly occupying the premium seats so clearly with expectations of the extra outlay being worth the comfort and optimum viewing position.
The engagement with the story by the boys in auditorium indicated that, although there is clear evidence of girl power, they did not regard it as a chickflick. Regardless of the medieval setting, the heroine is a modern, bow-and-arrow wielding, hard-riding, spirited, teen red-head whose wild mane is a tribute to CGI.
Brave clan chieftain Fergus loses a leg to fearsome bear Mor'du while protecting his queen, Elinor, and little daughter, Princess Merida. Fergus dines off the story thereafter, living in expectation of revenge one way or the other. The years pass in a collage of princess diaries of days spent being groomed by the queen for a royal wife-time of decorum, tapestry, and diplomacy, interspersed with solo gallops into freedom across the picturesque Scottish highlands, archery, climbing and lapses into ladetteishness.
The uneasy truce between Merida's desire for liberty and the obligations imposed by her birth is tested when princes from the three allied clans arrive to sue for her hand. At the moment of truth, conflict violently erupts between Merida and her mother and the clan alliance is under threat. The princess flees into the unknown depths of the forest and stumbles upon a circle of standing stones. From there, supernatural guides lead her to a witch and a spell to change her mother and her fate.
The charm takes unexpected effect. Her mother is now a bear in a fortress with an army trained for ursine extermination and with a 48-hour sell by date on her chance of returning to humanity. The princess must call on all the of the skills she has learned to save her mother and the alliance. With the return of Mor'du, the queen learns there is a place for decorum and a time to liberate the animal within.
The story gives examples of what it means to be brave. The king has physical courage; each of the chieftains is a brave, a warrior; the queen has the courage of her convictions; Merida is fearless and reckless but only under test does she learn moral courage demonstrated in her maiden speech to the clan alliance, amusingly part-teleprompted by her mother. From the pen of writer/animator Brenda Chapman this is fairytale with a difference: no prince, no hero, no man of the moment to save the day; no helpful comic side-kick. A far more emotionally truthful story emerges than the usual Disney fare.
My movie buddy was reminded of Bend It Like Beckham, where a daughter's aspirations are supported by her father and challenged by her mother. Both films depict the classic conflict of a parent attempting to impose on their offspring the same expectations they themselves experienced growing up and meeting with rebellion.
Comic highlights include urchinous, ginger, curly-mopped, cake-obsessed, triplet mini prince brothers to Merida, table manners and fishing for bears, and the witch's voicemail message with menu options.

Kelly Macdonald (heroine Evangeline in (Nannie Macphee) gives a passionate and lively performance as Merida, Emma Thomson brings a mystified love and tried patience to the voice of the queen, Julie Walters is the wily witch and only Billy Connolly could supply the bluff, exuberant Fergus. Patrick Doyle offers an enchanting score as well as his vocal role.
The film is dedicated to Steve Jobs who bought Pixar and gave it the mission statement of excellence, visible in water and mountains so realistic at first they seem like real footage and in a team rising to the challenge of depicting the fall and movement of fabric. Pixar's efforts on this occasion were well received. The audience rose happy and refreshed and left in an emotional buzz of satisfaction. Do sit through the credits. You will be rewarded.

10 Worlds Most Bizarre Creatures
By Ben What on Earth? 15 Comments
Check out our top 10 most bizarre creatures from around the world. Forget cats, dogs, lions and bears, mother nature must have really indulged in her creative side when it came to these weird and wonderful beasties!
Hairy Crab
Wouldn’t it be great if you could detoxify the air around you, removing pollution and poisons? That’s exactly what the ‘hairs’ that this crab is named for do. The ‘hair’ which is actually setae acts as i filter and removes damaging poisons and chemicals from the water surrounding the Hairy Crab. This ability is especially important to the blind Hairy Crab as it is known to make its home in some of the most inhospitable environments.
The Olm is a fascinating example of an amphibian that makes its home in the waters of Europe. This bizarre creature can only be found in the deepest, darkest waters and relies on none of the traditional senses we humans are used to such as sight or hearing. The Olm feeds on small invertebrates and it receptive to chemical and electrical signals which it uses to find and identify prey. The Olm is sometimes known as the ‘human fish’ because of its coloration and was sometimes referred to as a ‘baby dragon’ in years past.
Assassin Spider
Is it a spider? Or is it a giraffe? Look at its neck! The Assassin Spider (above) is indeed a truly bizarre specimen. The Assassin Spider sports a long neck which is needed to provide leverage due to its massive jaws which is uses to expertly catch and assassinate its prey.
Blanket Octopus
The Blanket Octopus is a truly remarkable sight. This unique octopus is able to open its tentacles to reveal a thin colorful membrane which spreads out like a ‘blanket’, this is done to make the Blanket Octopus look bigger and ward away predators. The being said, only the female of the species has this ability compared to the male which is tiny ( max 3cm). The female of the species is certainly the more spectacular and can grow up to 2 meters in length.
Leafy Sea Dragon
The Leafy Sea Dragon is a master of camouflage and spends its days drifting through the water perfectly emulating a floating piece of seaweed. The Leafy Sea Dragon gos to great lengths to stay camouflaged such as traveling extremely slow as to not give itself away. Like its closest relatives the sea horses, the male Leafy Sea Dragon carries fertilized eggs until they are ready to hatch.
Blobfish
Although the enigmatic Blobfish is rarely seen above water alive its still one of our favorite creatures and definitely a prime candidate for the worlds most bizarre creatures. The Blobfish doesn’t really do much… content to float in place and wait for food to stumble upon it, the Blobfish is a true opportunist. This type of lifestyle works well for the Blobfish as it means the Blobfish is able to survive on small amounts of food due to the lack of exertion in its life.
Hatchetfish
This small fish spends its entire life in the darkest parts of the worlds oceans hidden from prying eyes. The Hatchetfish may not seem spectacular at first sight however the Hatchetfish is actually a light source in the deep, dark oceans it calls home. The Hatchetfish has organs in its sides called photophores which can be ‘turned on’ to give out a glow similar to that of an led light. The Hatchetfish uses this ability to attract unsuspecting prey and will do the opposite to evade predators.
Hemeroplanes Caterpillar
I know the picture looks like a snake but i assure you this is 100% a caterpillar. Infact that is the entire point of the Hemeroplanes Caterpillar, this master of camouflage has a very uniwue defense mechanism in that it can do a very good impression of a pit viper. If the Hemeroplanes Caterpillar feels threatened it will raise the top half of its body from the surface and inflate to resemble a pit viper – this crafty caterpillar even emulates a lunging motion giving the impression its about to strike!
Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko
So far we’ve had numerous masters of camouflage in this list but the Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko really deserves the number one spot for being bizarre – just look at it! Could there ever be a more accurate representation of a crusty dead leaf? I don’t think so. Like so many wonderful and bizarre creatures the Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko is a product of Madagascar and can not be found anywhere else… you probably wouldn’t notice it anyway!
So there we have it, our top 10 worlds most bizarre animals! granted it seems most of the worlds bizarre creatures reside in the worlds oceans. Let us know if you’re lucky enough to have a first hand experience with any of these masterpieces of nature!
