1. What would you rather adopt/be?
This is a super random question, but since it's out of the blue and it's never really asked in everyday conversations, I figured I'd ask you guys. Sometimes, it's interesting to hear how people respond, since it's not really something everybody thinks about a lot. If you were a cat or a dog, what breed would you be and what would you do? How would you act towards humans? Towards your owner? Would you live in a home or run free in the outdoors? What do you think your story would be if you were one of the two?
If you prefer the other question, would you rather adopt a cat or a dog and why? If you already own either one of the two or both, what made you choose your pet(s)?
Cats are awesome too...I have one, and may get a second, haven't decided yet. Black shorthairs cats are my preferred "breed"..
I'd get a dog if I didn't live in an apartment and didn't have a crazy schedule.
I grew up with cats, so I really love their independence - but I would not trade my dog for anything. I was thinking a while back about how dogs and humans evolved together. It is rather funny that we think that we got the good end of that deal.
I'm sure I'd be the angry loner stray dog that bit anyone that got close to me. That's the type I would choose at shelters too. I would take home the ones that I know have had a hard life like me.
Don't get me wrong, I love doggies (especially shepherds) and bond well with them. But it was an ex-boyfriend from over 30 years ago who got me into cats, and I haven't looked back. I'd certainly be one in the next life. They're independent, but once you've earned their trust - make no mistake, it's earned - you know just what a gift it is.
I think I like them, too, for their tenacity. They set the rules and those rules must be respected. If you do, they're as faithful as any dog.
That's true cats are tough. I've seen cats beat up dogs before. I do like their attitude. They are very nice but you better not mess with me at the same time.
I'm a dog person maybe because I grew up with dogs instead of cats.
I would be a cat that doesn't have to be groomed. Because I would be scared of the trimmer and my hair not growing back to keep me warm.
I would live indoors because my meal times would be on time all the time and very tasty occasionally. Also I would have many soft surfaces to sleep or lounge on. I would love to be with my owner when I need lots of snuggles.
I would also like another friend to chill with (aggravate) so we dont get sad when mommies gone.
I would be nice to all visitors that come over as long as their nice to mommy. Otherwise watch out.
I like the advertisements that show up when I click on this post. They even make tents for cats.
Personally I would like to be a Mastiff breed that works, where I would work not so much of an issue. A farm would be nice i think, would like it to be Cattle farm.
I'd rather be a cat but adopt a dog. I love dogs so much and really wish I could have one but my living situation won't permit it. I feel like I'd be doing much better with a dog around, tbh.
I'll probably adopt a cat (once I'm out of my current quagmire at work and able to move somewhere suitable). Cats are super simple to take care of -- you really just need two things, namely the food/water bowl and the litter box, and you can largely leave them alone. On the other hand, dogs need to be taken for walks and generally are more demanding. At least these are my experiences with the family cats growing up long ago, as well as with friends' dogs when they were out of town and asked me to take care of them.

Many needle-stick injuries unreported
A survey of nearly 700 surgical residents in 17 U.S. medical centers finds that more than half failed to report needle-stick injuries involving patients whose blood could be a source of HIV, hepatitis and other infections.
Authors of the report appearing in the June 28 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine say most residents in the survey falsely believe that reporting and getting timely medical attention wont prevent infection. Residents also say reporting takes too much time and interrupts their work.
The fact that we have so many residents who fail to understand the importance of timely reporting of needle-stick exposures in order to protect themselves from serious medical consequences clearly illustrates the breadth of this problem and the need for hospitals to develop systems to address it, says contributing author Mark S. Sulkowski, M.D., of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins.
Lead author Martin Makary, M.D., M.P.H., a surgeon at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, says that while residents must take more responsibility, it's also up to hospitals to take immediate steps to improve safety and care for health care workers to reduce the spread of HIV and hepatitis infection.
Makary says injuries could be greatly reduced by hospitals increasing the use of nurse practitioners and physicians assistants to reduce surgical workloads and adopting sharpless surgical techniques such as electric scalpels, clips and glues.
Twenty percent of all general surgery operations could be done without using any sharp instruments, he says. Furthermore, Makary says, residents would more likely report exposures if hospitals used timely reporting mechanisms (e.g., internal hotlines and response teams), routine prompts (e.g., postoperative checklists that monitor exposures), and peer-to-peer education to create a local culture that encourages speaking up.
SARS-CoV-2 RNA in blood serum could predict COVID-19 mortality
ADC histogram analysis can predict tumor proliferation, survival in immunocompetent patients with PCNSL
Medicaid expansion helps detect more numbers of undiagnosed HIV infections
We know also that many residents resist reporting because the training culture suggests that needle sticks go with the territory and reporting them may lower peer esteem, Makary notes.
The survey, which took place in 2003, revealed that 99 percent of surgeons-in-training suffered an average of eight needle-stick injuries in their first five years. Of these surgeons, only 49 percent reported injuries to an employee health service. Of those who reported, 53 percent had experienced an injury involving a patient with a history of intravenous drug use and/or infected with HIV, hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV).
We did not realize the extent to which health care workers are at risk a risk that is preventable, says Makary, a surgeon who studies medical errors and health care quality. Makary says improved techniques that reduce the number of needle sticks and timely treatment for those who are injured could all but eliminate the risk of getting infected with disease.
Makary says 57 percent of surgical residents reported a feeling of being rushed as the primary cause of the injury. He adds that 42 percent said they did not report the injury because it took too much time and 28 percent said there was no utility in reporting.
In fact, says Sulkowski, early reporting and treatment with antivirals can prevent the establishment of infection in people exposed to HIV and HBV and can eradicate evidence of virus in more than 90 percent of people with acute HCV infection.
Previous studies suggest that an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 needle-stick injuries are reported each year by U.S. health care workers. Furthermore, a recent study of a general surgical service in an urban academic hospital revealed that 20 percent to 38 percent of all procedures involved patients with bloodborne pathogens.

French stiletto king takes red soles to dance at Crazy Horse
today Mar 1, 2012
PARIS - Christian Louboutin, the French designer whose red soles and teetering high heels make female fashionistas swoon, has taken his shoes to dance at the Crazy Horse, the Paris cabaret that insists its strip show is art.
He has helped choreograph four routines in the upmarket club's new show which include a penitent naked nun number, a lesbian romp and an erotic dance to music composed by film director David Lynch.
Asked by AFP if the show was more an exercise in marketing his expensive products than an artistic creation, Louboutin replied that he was merely "returning to my roots" as he had started his working life in cabaret.
He said it was the sight of dancers he regarded as "exotic birds" that inspired him to start designing the footwear with 12-centimetre heels and red soles that are now worn by the stars and sell for hundreds of euros (dollars).
The Crazy Horse, which has seen stars like Madonna, U2 and Gerard Depardieu sip champagne in its red velvet seats as they watched women undress, previously invited big names like Dita Von Teese, the global superstar of strip, and "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson for guest performances.
It is billing Louboutin as its first "guest creator".
On Wednesday he gave media a preview of the numbers that will feature in the show -- titled "Feu" (Fire) -- that runs from next Monday until May 31 and which, according to the designer, "concentrates on the lower part of the body".
"All the sentiments can be expressed in the language of the legs, the thighs and the buttocks," he explained in a press note.
In one number, the audience is faced with the rear ends of seven women who lie on stools and shake their stilettoed feet in the air without ever showing their upper bodies.
Another, titled "La Penitente", features a woman dressed in a monk's habit who plays with a large black skull before, predictably, removing the cloak and revealing a body wearing little but the trademark Crazy Horse G-string.
"It's a tableau about duality and the acceptance of sexuality. The Crazy Horse was already subversive and didn't need me for that," said Louboutin, adding that the number was inspired by a painting by 17th-century Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbaran.
Punters will have to pay 85 euros for the cheapest ticket to the show, which will also get them a half bottle of champagne.
Many Louboutin fans are expected to turn up as much to see his coveted shoes as to ogle the near-naked dancers.
His glam footwear was featured on the consumer-worshipping television series "Sex and the City" and he sells about 240,000 pairs each year in the United States alone.
Louboutin is currently in a legal tussle with Yves Saint-Laurent fashion house in which he claims that red soles are a trademark for his shoes and should not be used by competitors like YSL.
A New York judge hearing that case last August summed up the appeal of Louboutin's shoes.
"When Hollywood starlets cross red carpets and high fashion models strut runways and heads turn and eyes drop to the celebrities' feet, lacquered red outsoles on high-heeled, black shoes flaunt a glamorous statement that pops out at once," said judge Victor Marrero.
The Crazy Horse was opened in 1951 by Alain Bernardin and he always insisted the dancers be indistinguishable on stage in height, breast size and body shape.
Bernardin shot himself dead in his backstage office in 1994 but the rule on same-size dancers holds today in the club, which is still owned by his family and which now has an offshoot in Las Vegas.
The Crazy Horse prides itself on being the most sophisticated of the Parisian topless cabarets, and boasts that it is "avant garde" and intimate compared to the large-scale adult revues at the Moulin Rouge or the Lido.
It insists its shows present a celebration of female beauty and are not tacky titillation dressed up as art for a mostly male audience.
"We are both (Crazy Horse and Louboutin) at the service of women," Andree Deissenberg, the cabaret's manager, told reporters Wednesday.

Why We Write Memoir: A Reading List
Posted by Jacqueline Alnes
No matter how many years pass, no matter how much I work in therapy, no matter how far I remove myself geographically from the site of trauma, whenever I open the YouTube video on a channel I cannot forget the name of, I start to drown. It is not a quick plunge underwater. When first the browser loads, I tell myself, as is my natural response to any inkling of pain, that I am fine.
The first sound is my laughter — a strained version. In the video, I hold my hands to my belly, as if emulating a kind of joy, before gripping the door frame to my college dormitory. My laugh reaches almost a shriek in pitch. Behind the camera, one of my former Division I college teammates cajoles, "Talk to us, talk to us, Jackie."
I pause the video. I remind myself that I am here, in a new-to-me town in Pennsylvania, years and miles from this day, but my body tightens like a fist. I want to leave my apartment, to run beneath a sky tinged the soothing, sugar-spun pink of cotton candy. I want to weep. But instead, though I feel some kind of water rising around me, I press play again. I have to, I tell myself. I'm writing.
The thing about the video is that I do not remember it being recorded. In it, though I appear "normal" with my black Nike shorts, purple-framed glasses, dirty blond hair sleek to my shoulders, I am experiencing one of many mysterious neurological episodes that would plague me that semester. With the episodes came what doctors would later term aphasia and a transient alteration of awareness. In layman's terms, this meant I would repeat a few words ("Sky News, Sky News, Sky News," "Aurora, Aurora, Aurora") for minutes at a time. I wouldn't remember the episodes when I later woke up. A few of my teammates, gathered behind the lens of the camera, knew this. I don't know what prompted them to film that day, if it was a gesture of care that turned cruel, or just a means of entertaining themselves from the beginning.
When I do speak in the footage, I first say, "I, um." I glance down at the floor. Hoping to confuse me, the boys filming ask where I'm going tomorrow and where I'm going yesterday. I respond, "I, I, I" and look at my watch. As they continue to prod with their questions, my voice reaches a higher pitch. I shriek "No! Noo! I-no! I-no! I, I." This is the part where I feel the water rising around me at my desk, where I know I'll spend the rest of the day in what feels like a bottomless ocean, suspended by a grief I cannot name or easily swim out of.
I have been writing about this video for six years, as part of a memoir that I am still wrestling into being. After watching this video, when I am in the watery deep, I ask myself questions: How can I write ethically about my teammates, who both cared for me and inflicted deep pain in turns? What happens if they read this someday? Why, in a world where there is far more horrific news being reported daily, am I trying to add my voice? Why, if I don't consciously remember this moment, can't I let the video rot in oblivion where it belongs?
I have reported this footage to YouTube dozens of times. Each time, I select the option "Hateful or abusive content" and pick "Abusing vulnerable individuals." I shrink away from the word "abusive," telling myself it's really not that bad, but then I remember that within the video, one of the girls observing — someone I considered a friend at the time — says, "You guys are so mean" and a boy from the team says, "she's gonna cry" before they continue. Even while coherent, while completely within themselves, my teammates knew that their actions were harmful. And for me, though I don't consciously remember this video being taken, my body holds a history of its own. The trauma lives in the way I isolated myself for years because I feared other people more than I feared my symptoms. The trauma lives in the way I used to scream when a tender former partner tried to care for me during episodes. The trauma lives in the fact that the video is a testimony I cannot ignore, a memory I cannot blur out of being like so many other incidents that happened that semester between the soft of my body and those teammates.
At times, these six years of writing have felt like living within a dense fog: I cannot see where I'm going or where I've been. The drafts seem to become both more refined and completely opaque as I press forward. But recently, my life has shifted in fundamental ways: I broke up with a partner who knew the contours of my history as well as he could and moved halfway across the country. Here, in this new place, alone, I have been working on a proposal version of the book. In some ways, the tectonic shifts in my personal life and geography have allowed me to see the story in a whole new way, as if I'm finally far enough away to make meaning. During this process, I have been practicing tenderness toward myself. I do leave my desk to chase cotton candy clouds each morning, all the while reminding myself to breathe. I email terrible drafts of my overview to writer friends who nurture me while I probe old wounds. And I have spent innumerable afternoon hours with the essays below, each writer's words a lifeline pulling me from the deep.
1. Against Catharsis: Writing is Not Therapy (T Kira Madden, March 22, 2019, Lit Hub)
I may have believed that to write The Thing down is to take one more step away from The Thing itself, one more step removed, one more page and another and another until there is a thick stack of proof, of growth, of Tada!—the restorative salvation.
After writing Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls, T Kira Madden reckons with the idea that writing memoir is inherently cathartic. By closely examining her reaction to seeing a boy pounding his fists against the closed windows of his mother's car, Madden considers the differences between life itself and life reexamined, and discusses the importance of allowing readers to enter a work.
2. But What Will Your Parents Think? (Morgan Jerkins, May 2018, Longreads)
This past February, during the book tour for my essay collection, This Will Be My Undoing: Living at the Intersection of Black, Female and Feminist in (White) America, one of the recurring questions I received most frequently from readers was about how I pushed past the fear to write about the most intimate aspects of my life?
Rather than providing her audience with a list of coping mechanisms, Morgan Jerkins told the truth: she never overcame fear, particularly the fear of sharing her work with her parents, but learned to acknowledge — and write within — its presence instead.
3. Amy Tan on Writing and the Secrets of Her Past (Nicole Chung, October 16, 2017, Shondaland)
Amy Tan discusses unexpected sites of discovery, reconciling her memory of loved ones with alternative realities, cultivating empathy while writing, and the importance of community in this riveting interview about her new memoir Where the Past Begins: Memory and Imagination with Nicole Chung.
Who we become has so much to do with the experiences we had, and how we survived. The book is not about happy situations — it's about trauma, and the times when characters have to question who they are. It's about my questions, and who I am.
4. Annie Dillard and the Writing Life (Alexander Chee, October 16, 2009, The Morning News)
Wanting to be a visual artist, Alexander Chee originally didn't conceive of himself as a writer. One day, however, before a friend borrowed his typewriter, he wrote a story that "came out as I now know very few stories do: quickly and with confidence."
Lorrie Moore calls the feeling I felt that day 'the consolations of the mask,' where you make a place that doesn't exist in your own life for the life your life has no room for, the exiles of your memory. But I didn't know this then.
Chee, who most recently published How to Write an Autobiographical Novel, reflects on the significant impact Annie Dillard had on his beginnings as a writer.
5. A Reckoning is Different than a Tell-All: An Interview with Kiese Laymon (Kiese Laymon, interviewed by Abigail Bereola, October 18, 2018, The Paris Review)
What's the difference between a tell-all and a reckoning? How does audience change how a book is both written and read? What effect can memoir have on the level of personal relationships as well as within the realm of larger cultural conversation? Kiese Laymon addresses these questions and more in a brilliant interview by Abigail Bereola, as they discuss his groundbreaking memoir, Heavy.
I think people conflate memoir with autobiography a lot, but memoir is the artful rendering of an experience. For me, to get to the artfulness of it, I had to think of a person who could help me keep the good fat and cut out the bad fat.
6. Writing truthfully about my father: An act of resistance, an act of love (Allie Rowbottom, July 27, 2018, Salon)
Allie Rowbottom's father, after reading a draft of her memoir, JELL-O Girls, says he feels suicidal. In this ruminative piece, Rowbottom provides a window into her writing process as pertains to the ethics of representing others, as well as conveys how important it was for her to stay true to her own story, even if it revealed wounds that others had not yet reckoned with.
I'm doing it right now, as I did when I sent my dad my book, as I did when I wrote it, chronicling my experience on the page, saving myself through writing, despite the painful fear of what the work I produce might lead my father to threaten or create. Facing this fear is the most challenging work I have ever done.
7. The World's on Fire. Can We Still Talk About Books? (Rebecca Makkai, December 6, 2018, Electric Lit)
She might just as easily, as many have done before her and many continue to do, ask how one could post about books on a day when there'd been a mass shooting, a day when babies were in cages, a day when toddlers were gassed, a day when… well, any other day, really.
How — and should we? — write or celebrate art with so many atrocities in the world around us? By examining historical instances of people writing in the midst of unimaginable horrors and considering the context within her recent novel, The Great Believers, Rebecca Makkai asserts that art, now, as much as ever, can serve as a vital form of resistance.
Jacqueline Alnes is working on a memoir about running and neurological illness. Her essays have been published in The New York Times, Guernica, Tin House, and elsewhere. You can find her on Instagram and Twitter @jacquelinealnes.

Q: How to sync contacts and the calendar on Ubuntu Touch with OwnCloud How do I synchronize contacts and calendars from OwnCloud with the Ubuntu phone?

A: The Ubuntu phone uses the evolution data server and the data can be synchronized using syncevolution.

*

*Open an ssh-connection to your Ubuntu Phone (I'm using the Ubuntu-SDK for this purpose)

*Then execute
syncevolution --configure --keyring=no --template webdav username=- password='OCPASSWORD' syncurl="YOURSERVER.COM/owncloud" target-config@owncloud

*

*everything that's written in capitals needs to be replaced with your custom owncloud parameters.

*if you are using a self-signed certificate you would download it from the server, save it locally and tell syncevolution where to find it SSLServerCertificates="/home/phablet/YOURCERTIFICATE.crt". You can place this command just after the URL parameter.

*if the above doesn't work, you could use this unsecure alternative SSLVerifyServer="0"

*Now tell syncevolution the information about the phone
syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client sync=none syncURL=local://@owncloud username= password= owncloud

*and the specific parameters for the calendar
syncevolution --configure --template webdav database=https://YOURSERVER.COM/owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/OCUSER/personal backend=caldav target-config@owncloud calendar

The database path, can be found in the owncloud web frontend by clicking the chain symbol.

*now
syncevolution --configure sync=two-way backend=calendar database=personal owncloud calendar

*and finally start the synchronization
syncevolution --sync slow owncloud calendar

For synchronizing the contacts you would just need to add this steps:

*syncevolution --configure --template webdav database=https://YOURSERVER.COM/owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/OCUSER/contacts backend=carddav target-config@owncloud contacts

you can again get the right path from the web frontend

*syncevolution --configure sync=two-way backend=contacts database=personal owncloud contacts

database is the name of the address book on your device

*now run
syncevolution --sync slow owncloud contacts

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine in the US found that bonnethead sharks happily graze upon seagrass, in addition to eating bony fish, crabs, snails and shrimp. Omnivores feed on a variety of food of both plant and animal origin.
Though small by shark standards, adult females — the larger of the sexes —can still reach an impressive five feet long. The researchers analysed the sharks' dietary habits after reading reports of the fish chomping on seagrass, the flowering marine plant that forms subsea meadows in some coastal waters. They retrieved sea grass from Florida Bay and hauled it back to the lab where they re-planted it.
As the seagrass took root, the researchers added sodium bicarbonate powder made with a specific carbon isotope to the water. This was taken up by the seagrass, giving it a distinctive chemical signature. The researchers, including those from Florida International University in the US, next caught five bonnethead sharks and brought them to the lab.
They were fed on a three week diet of the seagrass and squid. The scientists ran a series of tests on the sharks.
These showed that they successfully digested the seagrass with enzymes that broke down components of the plants, such as starch and cellulose.

Billy Graham says that he "never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage."
Billy Graham backs North Carolina amendment to ban gay marriage
By Eric Marrapodi, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor
(CNN)– The Rev. Billy Graham, the world's best-known evangelist, has endorsed a ballot initiative to constitutionally ban gay marriage in his home state of North Carolina, a rare move for a preacher who has typically avoided political fights.
North Carolinians will vote on the state's Marriage Amendment Act before North Carolina voters next Tuesday.
Voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to say that "Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State."
North Carolina already bans same-sex marriages. The amendment would effectively ban civil unions and domestic partnerships, too.
Graham is taking out full-page ads in 14 North Carolina newspapers touting his support for the measure. His website he encourages churches to download a poster that bears his image and the message "Vote for Marriage May 8th."
"Watching the moral decline of our country causes me great concern," the 93-year-old pastor, who has prayed with every president since Dwight Eisenhower, said in a statement on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website. "I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected."
The statement continued to say that Graham "never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage."
Graham's newspaper ad will say: "The Bible is clear—God's definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. I want to urge my fellow North Carolinians to vote for the marriage amendment on Tuesday, May 8. God bless you as you vote."
The bill proposing the amendment says only a simple majority of votes is needed for the amendment to pass.
Supporters of the amendment hailed Graham's endorsement.
"Reverend Graham understands that we as North Carolinians have a duty to preserve God's first institution–marriage," said Tami Fitzgerald, Chairwoman of Vote FOR Marriage NC, a group supporting the measure, in a statement. "We cannot be silent as activists work to radically redefine marriage—an institution that has been fundamental to our civilization for thousands of years."
Opponents of the amendment lamented the move.
"While we were disappointed to see his endorsement it doesn't change much," said Paul Guequierre a spokesman for the Coalition to Protect North Carolina Families. The coalition, which includes pastors from across the theological spectrum, opposes the amendment. "We have respect for (Graham) but we will continue to work with our clergy on this."
"People across the country support LGBT equality," Guequierre said, adding his group was cautiously optimistic about the vote on Tuesday.
While Graham may be an internationally known figure, his influence in North Carolina may be even larger. Charlotte is home to the Billy Graham Parkway. When the Billy Graham Library opened in Charlotte in 2007, Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush and Jimmy Carter came for the opening ceremony.
Graham's son Franklin Graham and daughter Anne Graham Lotz have both voiced support for the amendment and both have taken political stands in the past, in contrast to their father.

Graham was once a force, but that was in different times. The "big issues" for real Christians today have nothing to do with marriage, abortion, or praying in schools – they don't concern most of the younger generation or this oldster. But, will Graham speak out on us changing the climate for the worse, on militarism, on racism (epidemic in NC), on the ugly ethics of some big businesses, and of the need for the underclasses to get serious about education and social morality? No. He's no prophet – he's an anachronism.
johnfrichardson
This guy's a total bozo and his son is worse.
I hope his support is for the true Biblical definition of marriage. A union between one man and one woman which does not preclude the man from entering as many additional such arrangements as he can afford....
I consider myself a good Christian but I wish he had not done this. If the Bible takes a stance on it, that means it is a personal matter of faith and morality. And the government has no business legislating faith and morality.
It IS the government's business to set rules for interactions between people. It is not the government's business to control how you feel about gays, but it is its business to control what you do about that.
Connie Steele
Well put!
Jim, The government would have no basis to prevent civil unions or gay marriage if it wasn't for the religious issue. If you take that away, why can't two committed people join together? If God has an issue with it, they can try to explain that at the appropriate time. But that is their choice. It sounds like simple discrimination under the guise of moral concerns.
Surprise! Surprise! The minister of hate comes out in support of an amendment that does just that! My only question is how is this old windbag still breathing?
paul cos
Go away old man your not relevant anymore,we no longer burn people at the stake or rip them apart using horses.wish we could ban old ,fascist,theocrats .

Good for Billy. At least he has the courage of his convictions to take a stand based on his beliefs and faiths. That it flies in the face of the LBGT politically correct juggernaut is something they will have to deal with. Funny thing about so-called tolerant progressives–they are the most intolerant group of folks possible. If you agree with them on gay marriage, that's just fine. If you disagree with gay marriage, our society has now devolved to the point where one is labeled a bigot and a "hater". What an unusual shift. The truth is now defined as hate, when in reality, the opposite is true...especially at CNN.
Madtown
The truth is now defined as hate
Sure, but you say that only because it's your "truth".
I disagree with Christian marriages. They shouldn't be legal. Hope I'm not a bigot for saying so.
The problem is that its not truth! Its about as truthful as a man putting every living creature in pairs on a boat while the Earth was flooded.... and then lo and behold, the Earth was repopulated. Just plain ignorance. And HURLCO I will always call a bigot and a hater exactly as they are.
I suppose you are another one of those "freedom-loving" republicans who wants to define (and restrict) everyone else's freedom. You can believe and practice whatever you want, but you cross the line when you want to legislate the personal lives of others. Doesn't the Bible say something about leaving the judging up to God? Or have you been given a special dispensation that nobody else knows about?
HURLCO: It is about equal rights. Those who oppose them are bigots, no matter how much they wrap themselves in the bible
"At least he has the courage of his convictions to take a stand based on his beliefs and faiths"
So did David Duke
YeahRight
"That it flies in the face of the LBGT politically correct juggernaut is something they will have to deal with.

Now substitute African American in for LBGT and see if you still agree with your statement. Oh...that's right your group has always dragged it's feet on equal civil rights.
I will never bow down to the Jesus God.And I mean never.No one is going to force their Religion on me.Go to Church and leave the rest of us alone.You do not have the right to intrude on my life.
What a shame. And here I thought he knew that Mankind was created in God's image...straight, gay whatever. Well, you have to tell your followers what they want to hear otherwise the money won't trickle in.
People, please try to understand that Rev Billy Graham is not 'stating his opinion' regarding gay marriages..he's only stating what the Bible is saying about the matter. If you choose not to follow what the Bible says, then...well..... I truely feel sorry for you. God didn't create Adam and Evan in the garden...it was Adam and Eve !!
@connie
Do you actually believe that genesis is a factual account of events at the beginning of the universe?
momoya
Please try to understand that just because you have "faith" in a particular fairy tale doesn't mean other people don't believe differently.. Why do you want to restrict what other people do with their bodies?? We don't want heteros to not marry, we just want the same rights for all adults–not just rights for adults who happen to think the way you do.
I feel sorry for people who take the bible literally and know nothing about how it was compiled and by whom nor the historical context of why certain 'stories' where put into and others left out even though they were written in the same time period.
god didn't create anyone in any garden. that's silly.
"People, please try to understand that Rev Billy Graham is not 'stating his opinion' regarding gay marriages..he's only stating what the Bible"
He is using the bible as a reason to block other peoples civil rights, that is what the vote is about. The experts around the world have shown that what was written about gays and lesbians in the past were done by bias and prejudice people, that includes your bible! . It's why the word homosexual was added later.
Robert Muniz
Those stating that the Rev Graham is just stating what the Bible says on marriage need to be reminded that the Bible also contains statements supporting human slavery, the subservience of wives to their husbands, and some regulations concerning eating shellfish. Will the illustrious Rev make statements in support of those views as well?
Rbnlegnd101
My name is not adam, or eve. In fact, I know very few people with either of those names. Perhaps we should pass a law to ensure that everyone is named either adam, or eve.
Please try and understand that your bible is a fairy tale and this silly old man believes in them. Who cares what silly things he wants to believe in as long as he doesn't try to impose that on thinking humans.
bill davis
can you say "simpleton?"
Another poor soul with a fig leaf for a brain. Adam, Evan, Paul, and Sam were all running around in that garden Connie....AND they were LOVING it!
Don't feel sorry for me! I'm not the one whose life is hobbled by believing fairy tales penned by 2000-years-dead desert lunatics.
why do you feel sorry for those who do not accept the bible?
mabear87
What part of the new testament talks about gays or the union of marriage? And did not Jesus accept everyone. Why cannot Graham and all these evangelical zealots practice their own religion? Talk about candidates for HELl. Graham and thes people lead the list.
HeavenSent
True Christians know that satan seeks to nullify the Bible, and to make folks doubt it's authenticity and authority? From the first book (Genesis) telling satan's fate through the last chapter (Revelation) which narrates satan's final end.
So much for a person who believes in God to give us the freedom of choice. It's up to God to make decisions and punish those he deems have sinned against him. Not man to make those decisions for him.
bayliee
Like father, like son! I guess he decided he needed media attention like his son, Franklin had, not very long ago!! Life is a mystery!! In reality, how do we really know who is going to be in heaven when we walk through those Peary Gates!! Perhaps a "gay activist" might be there!! If so, will you turn around and walk away?? In my opinion it is far past time that "God" deal with the gay community. And I don't mean all of the "little God"s, like the Pope and Billy Graham either!
in-der-pendant
Religious zealots always try to impose their beliefs on others..... that's all they have going for them. If people were logical, they could not accept the stories of the bible or most other religious so called holy books.
secular humanist zealots impose their beliefs on everyone else
@luch
What beliefs are being imposed upon you?
Hey Luch without secular laws protecting religious freedoms you'd be forced to follow the beliefs of whoever is in charge of the government. I'd think twice before I condemned the secular world. Far from opposing your right to belive as you wish they fight to protect it. What they and I want is the same consideration. If not they it is you who is forcing things on others.
Aren't those secular humanists terrible for imposing their beliefs on themselves? They should fall to their knees and pray like civilized people. They should raise up their voices in praise, and hopefully they will be heard by him most holy, who will touch them, with his noodly appendage.
Wait. You aren't thinking about that other god, who commands us to love our brother, but not like that, are you? He's a little odd.
For the first time, I am sorry that the revered Billy Graham is a North Carolinian because he will now undoubtedly have an impact on this vote. Then again, you never know. Maybe enough citizens will not follow his lead in the way some did years ago when he endorsed Richard Nixen.
Why would any person want to live in North Carolina? Well it appears to be a good place for bigots and some really really stupid people. I would hope that the large companies that the state of North Carolina is trying to bring to their state would think twice about doing so...many of them have anti discrimination language in their company policies...why would they move their companies there? The real problem is their is no cure for stupid...a lot of stupid going on in America right now...hope disappointing...I had actually thought things were getting better, but it appears not.
This OLD racist has been should just die and leave this world while he is ahead. He is the reason people no longer see religion as a truth and holy way of living. These false prophets (including his son Franklin) have made a mockery of those that follow Jesus Christ. Billy's involvement in politics shows that he is not a true Christian. They spew hate, I would not be surprised if he used the Bible to justify slavery also. When people start using the Bible to justify hate, they become UN-credible beings.
more tolerant words from the very tolerant and liberal minded left wing liberal secularists...all hail the culture of relativism
He just telling the truth...my guess is that you can't handle the truth. He has courage to stand up for what he belives which is THE Truth. We will ALL Face our Maker soon enough. We love you too but Jesus loves you more.
Last day people will say what's bad is good and waht's good is bed. Sun rise's from east to west that hasn't changed it not matter of opion it's matter of truth. People opions will change as the time goes by but the Truth will never change. God is same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Your opion is not base on the truth but base on your opions. God bless you.. with His truth.
What a relic. This world is no longer in the 1950s. The definition of marriage has not changed. It is still two people who love each other.
"Watching the moral decline of our country causes me great concern," How right you are Billy. When people think they have the moral right to vote on other peoples marriages I'd say morality has hit a record low. Bigotry is the cause of said moral declined and it can be cured.

There's always a mythical "golden age" of peace and harmony that was about 50-100 years prior to the current generation.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that dig holes and those that build mountains.
The hole-diggers focus their energy on removing ground. They push other people into the holes they dig, believing themselves superior because they're now "above" said person in the hole. In reality they haven't moved an inch.
The mountain-builders focus their energy on accumulating ground. They pile it up and climb to the top, legitimately reaching greater heights. From this new vantage point they enjoy a clearer view.
Both expend lots of energy in the process; one positively and one negatively.


Here's a tip for eating at one of Danny Meyer's restaurants -- don't leave one.
The restaurateur said Wednesday that all 13 of his New York City eateries will eliminate tipping and raise prices to create a fair wage system for employees. Restaurants in Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group include the Modern, where the change will start first in late November, as well as Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern and Blue Smoke. The other restaurants will follow suit over the next year.
Meyer, who also founded the popular restaurant chain Shake Shack, said a tipping system isn't fair to all restaurant workers, since regulations don't allow for all employees to share in gratuities.
"We believe hospitality is a team sport, and that it takes an entire team to provide you with the experiences you have come to expect from us," he said in his announcement. "Unfortunately, many of our colleagues — our cooks, reservationists, and dishwashers to name a few — aren't able to share in our guests' generosity, even though their contributions are just as vital to the outcome of your experience at one of our restaurants."
The issue of wages for those in the food service and restaurant industries has been gaining attention. New York recently approved phasing in a $15 an hour minimum wage for workers at fast-food chains in the state, and several cities around the country have set the same minimum for all workers.
But it is still rare to find a restaurant that doesn't have tipping.
At the Black Star Co-op Pub and Brewery in Austin, Texas, gratuities have never been accepted, and business team leader Dana Curtis was happy to hear of Meyer's move.
"I think it's great," she said. "I think it raises public awareness about economic inequality, it starts a public conversation about fair wages."
Melissa Fleischut, president and CEO of the New York State Restaurant Association, said other restaurants could be inspired to follow Meyer's lead.
"I think that because it is Danny Meyer and he is considered a leader in the restaurant industry, that a lot of people are going to look at this move," she said.
Christin Fernandez of the National Restaurant Association said restaurants should have the freedom to choose what works best for their business.
"The move towards a non-tipped environment is a new and somewhat small concept with only a handful of restaurants testing it nationwide," Fernandez said. "As the industry of hospitality, we've found the practice of tipping has traditionally attracted millions of employees to our industry and still has strong support from American diners."


EUR/USD: Neutral (since 29 May 17, 1.1180): Increasing risk of a break below 1.1105/10.
We indicated yesterday that a shift to a bearish phase would not surprising unless EUR can "move and stay above 1.1175 within these few days". The overnight high has been 1.1169 and we continue to hold the view that the immediate risk is greater on the downside. Only a NY closing above 1.1175 would indicate that the immediate downside pressure has eased. In the meanwhile, 1.1120 is expected to offer solid support ahead of the critical 1.1105/10 level.
GBP/USD: Bearish (since 13 Jun 17, 1.2670): Approaching strong support level, shorts to take half profit at 1.2580/85. There is not much to add from yesterday update (reproduced below).
AUD/USD; Neutral (since 21 Jun 17, 0.7580): In a 0.7525/0.7630 range.
We shifted from a bullish to neutral stance yesterday and were of the view that AUD has moved into a consolidation phase. There is no change to the view but as highlighted, "the immediate bias is on the downside and the odds for a move to 0.7525 first are markedly higher than for a move to 0.7630". From here, an intraday dip below 0.7525 is not ruled but based on the current momentum, a sustained move below this level is not expected. On the upside, 0.7600 is a strong resistance ahead of 0.7630.
NZD/USD: Neutral (since 16 Jun 17, 0.7205): In a 0.7170/0.7275 range.
NZD spiked above the top of the expected 0.7170/0.7275 consolidation range earlier this morning with a high of 0.7280. The choppy swing post-RBNZ announcement reinforces our current neutral view for NZD (we have been neutral since last Friday) and we continue to expect this pair trade between 0.7170 and 0.7275 for now.
USD/JPY: Bullish (since 20 Jun 17, 111.65): Anticipating a break of 112.10 for a move to 112.80.
USD traded mostly sideways yesterday and the consolidation is not unexpected in view of the overbought short-term conditions. As long as 110.80 is not taken out, we continue to anticipate a break of 112.10 for a move to 112.80.

Strict Curfew After Dusk Makes Life Very Difficult In Kashmir
ItimesUpdated on Aug 26, 2016, 18:07 IST
"Bhago yahan se" (go away from here)--a voice suddenly booms from a dark corner of a street in curfew-bound Srinagar as dusk falls.
This is the voice of a para-military personnel behind a concertina wire who tries to prevent movement of people on the main road here and is unwilling to listen to anyone even if one is carrying a curfew pass or has some emergency.
Srinagar like any other part of Kashmir is witnessing the longest spell of curfew since July 8 when unrest broke out in the Valley.
"This has become a daily routine. To walk just across the chowk, which is only 500 metres away, I have to take a detour of nearly two kilometres through narrow lanes and by-lanes to reach my aunt's place," says Mushtaq Mir, a resident of Rainawari locality in downtown city.
Mir is carrying some medicines for his aunt who has been suffering from age-related ailments.
Changing his path, Mir, accompanied by his wife, finally chose another route to reach his destination but not before a group of young boys try to block his way as he was sneaking from by-lanes.
Armed with 'lathis', stones and bottles filled with petrol and kerosene, youngsters will soon inquire every single detail from you and verify everything before letting you go, he said.
"The security forces at least give you a chance to retreat while with youngsters that option is also not available and you are allowed to cross only after every detail has been verified," says his wife.
This broadly is the experience of an average Kashmiri in the Valley today who is caught between security forces and agitating youths with no end to this misery in sight.
Many such harrowing experiences of anguished residents were shared with a PTI correspondent on a quick round of the city.
"We are not inhuman but we have to act tough as a preventive measure. In the case of a medical emergency, we take care and ensure that the patient reaches the hospital," says a middle-rung paramilitary officer deployed at Rainawari chowk, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' is Fun, Exciting, and Full of Multiverse Madness – Our Review
Despite countless leaks and spoilers, No Way Home is still full of surprises.
FINAL SCORE OUT OF 10
Multiversal Madness
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a movie that suffered greatly in the wake of leaks and spoilers that flooded the internet before its theatrical debut. Rest assured, we aren't going to mention any of those here so you can enjoy it yourself when you hit the theater this weekend, which you most certainly should do. Spider-Man's third solo film is awesome, to say the least, and a spectacle that demands a theatrical viewing in order to take it all in.
Just like we saw in the trailers, Spider-Man is facing a version of the Sinister Six that comes from across the Multiverse after a spell has gone wrong. The villains, of which there are five (Green Goblin [Raimi-Verse], Electro [Amazing-Verse], Doc Ock [Raimi-Verse], Lizard [Amazing-Verse], and Sandman [Raimi Verse]) sees all the original actors who played them returning to wreak havoc in the MCU. This all happens after Mysterio revealed Spider-Man's secret identity as Peter Parker at the end of the last film, leaving young Peter no choice but to seek out help from the Sorceror Supreme. Unfortunately for him, Wang was busy so Peter had to settle for Strange's assistance. And, after a twist on the spell caused by Peter's meddling, the Multiverse fractures and villains of all kinds fall into their universe.
That is all we are saying about the plot since the trailers covered all that pretty well. Really, you just want to know whether the movie is good and to that, we say, hell yes. This movie is awesome.
No Way Home is everything you want to see in a Spider-Man film and is easily the best of this trilogy and not just because of all the twists and surprises. Spider-Man: No Way Home is bigger and better in every way and director Jon Watts is at his best this time around, which is impressive considering he was behind the whole trilogy.
Sure, No Way Home follows the typical formula that all MCU films follow and it doesn't really take any risks in trying anything new to break away from that. But honestly, you shouldn't mind because it works very well here. To clarify, the multiversal adventure is a new concept with this film but it isn't something that deviates away from the mold. Instead, it takes the Raimi and Amazing universes and blends them in seamlessly to Marvel Studios' MCU. It just works.
Supporting cast members Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are also noteworthy of their delightfully charming performances.
Visually, the film is super impressive but it is hard to elaborate without spoiling too much so just trust us on that. If you liked what went on in the first two Spider-Man films, you will love what No Way Home has in store because there is more of it, a lot more.
Something really has to be said about Jon Watts and writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers taking on three separate film franchises spanning almost twenty years and making them work so flawlessly together. The villains do not seem out of place from a cinematic perspective which is impressive considering they are literally out of place from a franchise perspective.
One unique thing that Spider-Man: No Way Home does more of is that it embraces the emotional side of Peter's struggles. Yes, we see that constantly as an element in superhero films and Peter has experienced his fair share in the first two films, most definitely, but No Way Home takes this to a whole new level that will likely bring the audience to tears at least once. We are kind of teetering on spoiler territory there so we can't elaborate beyond that. You will just have to see for yourself.
The cast is filled with MCU vets and newcomers from the Sony universes but everyone brings their a-game. Performance-wise, the heroes and the villains all deliver and find their spot with individual moments to shine that will make you laugh and get you thinking about things like what it means to actually be a villain. What is evil exactly and can it be something that is overcome?
Overall, Spider-Man: No Way Home is a brilliant way to wrap up Watts' trilogy and increases the stakes in every category that matters. It is fun, emotional, thought-provoking, and action-packed while merging together not two but three different Spider-Man film franchises. That in and of itself is a mind-blowing accomplishment that the writers and director Jon Watts did to perfection. And one thing is for certain, Tom Holland's performance proves that despite nearly twenty years of Spider-Men swinging across the silver screen, he is Spider-Man, even if he isn't the one and only.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is bigger and better than anything we have seen since Tom Holland thwipped his way onto our screens in Civil War. Full of emotion, action, and non-stop fun, No Way Home was everything we wanted while delivering so much more. The writing and cast performance are all top-notch and and it would be hard to expect more from anyone involved in making this movie.
Spider-Man: No Way Home may not swing too far out of the formula we are used to with MCU films but it definitely steps it up in every category that matters. We laughed, we cried, we cheered, and that is exactly what you want in a movie-going theatrical expereince.

Stüssy History
Stüssy Profile
Shawn Stussy is born in Southern California.
Stussy begins to shape his own surfboards at the age of 13. Two years later, he will get his first job shaping boards.
Shawn starts his own surfboard business in Laguna Beach. To make the boards more distinguishable, he scrawls his surname signature on the boards, stylized as "Stüssy."
To help spur sales at the Action Sports Retailer trade show, Stussy screen-prints his new logo in white across black T-shirts. By the end of the trade show, he had sold 24 boards and a thousand T-shirts.
Stussy officially starts a clothing brand with his friend and business partner, Frank Sinatra Jr. (no relation to the singer).
Stussy moves the brand into a 4,000-square-foot office in Irvine, California.
The brand makes its way to Europe and is embraced by the hip-hop community. By the end of the decade, Stüssy (the brand) will have stockists throughout the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Japan.
Stüssy opens a flagship New York store with the help of James Jebbia, who will go on to create the streetwear brand Supreme while working at Stüssy. This is also the first year of the International Stüssy Tribe meeting, which takes place in Tokyo.
Stüssy signs a licensing agreement with Australian designers, Felicity Rulikowski and Bernadette Wier, to start a 25-piece collection for women called Stüssy Sista Gear.
Shawn Stussy decides to resign as president of the company to spend more time in Hawaii with his wife and son.
The brand's first collab, a G-SHOCK DW-6900 watch, is released.
Stüssy reinvents itself with help from U.S. photographer Robbie Jeffers. Jeffers suggested starting a skateboarding team and by 2000, the brand had a roster of skaters that included Richard Mulder, Danny Montoya, Scott Johnson, Keith Hufnagel (who would go on to found HUF), and Chad Timtim.
Shawn Stussy opens a new Japanese brand called S/Double — a nickname his wife gave him. The shop sells a mix of surf apparel and derby shoes.
The 30th anniversary collection of Stussy features limited-edition collaborative T-shirts with Supreme, Bounty Hunter, NEIGHBORHOOD, The HideOut, and PAM.
Stüssy releases a capsule collection of custom varsity jackets for 40 new members of the Stüssy Tribe, including A$AP Rocky, Pigalle founder Stephane Ashpool, and artist Brent Rollins.
Stüssy opens a new flagship in Toronto and released clothing collabs with Vans, Bedwin & the Heartbreakers, and Hypnotize Hearts. They also put out a short film with Jared Sherbert and a photo editorial with Tyrone Lebon.
Stüssy opens a new store in Tokyo's high-traffic Shibuya district.
The third CDG x Stüssy collaboration is finally here.
Shawn Stussy & Dior drop a collaborative collection — Stüssy the brand is not involved.
Our Legacy & Stüssy are back in the Workshop for SS22.
What is Stüssy?
Now one of the most famous streetwear brands of all time, Stüssy is a Californian skate/surf brand with an origin story in keeping with the brand's laidback, free-spirited identity.
Growing up near California's Laguna Beach, a famous spot popular amongst surfers and counter-culture communities, Shawn Stüssy stumbled into his business when he started out placing his distinctive signature onto his handmade surf boards in the early 1980s.
Over the next few years he began placing the Stüssy logo onto T-shirts, caps and other simple pieces, and a small local brand began to build. In 1984 he partnered up with his friend Frank Sinatra Jr. (no relation to the legendary singer), and the two began selling Stüssy as a proper brand. By the 1990s, the brand had grown to considerable size with a flagship store in New York and business expansions into Europe.
One thing that set Stüssy apart in the early days was the fact that it was one of the first brands to produce goods like caps and varsity jackets that weren't explicitly designed for sports teams. Combined with the brand's playful repurposing of logos such as Chanel's double C insignia (transformed into a double S; Shawn Stüssy), Stüssy's groundbreaking reconfiguring of traditional style rules and boundaries laid the foundation for virtually every streetwear brand that followed it.
Stüssy's rapid global expansion influenced a number of young designers to follow in his footsteps; Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design has cited Shawn Stüssy as the person who inspired him to create his first brand, GOODENOUGH. The brand also has connections to James Jebbia of Supreme, who started out as manager of Stüssy's NYC store, and Russell Simmons, who it is claimed was inspired to start Phat Farm by Stüssy. It is also claimed that numerous streetwear brands such as X-Large, SSUR and Freshjive were heavily influenced by the style legacy that Stüssy carved out in its early years.
One of the most famous elements of Stüssy is the famous Stüssy Tribe – collectives of like minded individuals with close connections to the brand. Funnily enough, this was first started in London by a collective of individuals that included Michael Kopelman of Gimme 5, Mick Jones of The Clash, and 'Barnzley' Armitage. Members of city chapters of the Stüssy Tribe were each given custom embroidered jackets with their names on. The movement spread to numerous cities including Paris, Tokyo and New York.
In 1996, Shawn Stüssy left the brand in order to focus on his family, and the brand continued to grow and expand. These days, it continues to be one of the most prominent youth labels, stocked in high street stores, streetwear boutiques and department stores. The brand's Stüssy Deluxe sub-label produces premium, higher-priced versions of its products, as well as premium collaborations with other brands. Since leaving the brand, Shawn Stüssy has continued to make surf boards, and in recent years started a new brand, S/Double, which operates on a small scale, mainly selling in Japan.

Shawn Stüssy
What did Shawn Stüssy do after leaving the company?
It's been over two decades since the namesake founder left Stüssy to spend more time with his wife and son in Hawaii. Since leaving the brand, he's continued to make surfboards and even began a new brand, S/Double, in 2008. The moniker is a nickname given to him by his wife and the brand itself is more mature, with a mix of derby shoes and hand-made surf attire on deck.
Which brands began because of Stüssy's streetwear influence?
Many streetwear brands owe their origins to the rise of Stüssy. One of the most famous links to the surf and skate label happened in New York with Supreme founder James Jebbia. As he launched what would become one of streetwear's most iconic brands, Jebbia was working at Stüssy's New York headquarters, which he helped open with Shawn Stüssy himself. Besides the Supreme link, Stüssy has also inspired the creation of Hiroshi Fujiwara's first brand GOODENOUGH, Russell Simmons' label Phat Farm, and influenced the style of brands like X-Large, SSUR, and Freshjive.
What is the Stüssy Tribe and how did it start?
One of the most visible elements of the streetwear brand is the so-called "International Stüssy Tribe"—a collective of like-minded individuals with close connections to the brand. Ironically, the first Tribe began not in the label's sunny California home, but in the dreary streets of London with Michael Kopelman of Gimme 5, Mick Jones of The Clash, and 'Barnzley' Armitage. Members of the city chapters were given custom embroidered jackets with their names on it and eventually, the movement spread to cities around the world including New York, Paris, and Tokyo.
What does Stüssy stand for?
While the meaning behind the name Stüssy is no deeper than the obvious family surname, it is Shawn Stüssy's famous signature that has become the John Hancock of streetwear. After getting a job shaping surfboards at the age of 15, Shawn spent years perfecting the craft before he began to handmake boards at 24. For these, he would scrawl his surname on the end with a broad-tipped marker. Later, he silkscreened his signature on T-shirts to help promote the boards and officially began the brand in 1984 with friend Frank Sinatra Jr. (no relation to the singer).

Dar El Tahrir for Printing and...
Dar El Tahrir for Printing and Publishing
Dar Al Tahrir for Printing and Publishing is a State-owned media organization. As such, it is managed by the National Press Authority.
Dar Al Tahrir for Printing and Publishing was founded in 1953, after Gamal Abdel Nasser submitted a request to issue a daily newspaper. Gamal Abdel Nasser was then one of the members of the Revolutionary Command Council - a movement of military officers that seized power and ended the monarchy in 1952. Since then, Dar Al Tahrir has become the voice of the leaders of the Free Officers' Movement. Former President Anwar Al-Sadat took over as General Manager of Dar Al Tahrir between 1953 and 1956. He was its chairman from 1956 to 1959.
Dar Al Tahrir for printing and publishing owns 4 companies: Dar Al-Gumhuriya for Press, Eastern Advertising Company, Egyptian Advertising Company and United Distribution Company.
Dar Al Tahrir for Printing and Publishing currently publishes a large number of newspapers and magazines: Al Gomhuria newspaper, Al Masa newspaper, Al Egyptian Gazette (in English), Al Egyptian Mail (in English), La Bourse Egyptienne (in French), Le Progrès Egyptien (in French), Aqeedaty (My doctrine), Horyaty (My freedom), Al Raay (Opinion), Al Koura wa el mlaaeb (Football and Stadiums), Al Alem Magazine (Science magazine), and Ketab Al Gomhuria . The publications of Dar Al Tahrir vary between daily, weekly and monthly.
Saad Selim is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dar Al Tahrir for Printing and Publishing
There is no information on the size of the funding provided by the state to Dar Al Tahrir and other state-owned press organizations. But statements by the head of the National Press Authority, Karam Gabr, indicate a crisis in the accumulated debts of state-owned press organizations.

Reinvented
Though at times daunting, change more often leads to great opportunities and even better ones to come. Upon arriving at 715 Ladera Lane in Montecito, California, the current owner of the estate saw its incredible potential and chose to make several additions and remodel core spaces of the home.
This custom Mediterranean country home, now listed for sale at $8.65 million, is situated on 4.5 private gated acres within Montecito, near Santa Barbara, with ocean views to the west and south. According to the property's listing agent, Randy Solakian with Coldwell Banker Realty, the owner saw possibilities within the home from the very beginning, noting that they wanted to create opportunities for the spaces they felt were important in order to "fulfill some of the upside potential of the property." These drastic changes included reconfiguring the main home's floor plan, expanding the living area, developing a new wing on the west side of the property, and more. Once finished, the interior space of the home was outfitted to spark invitation with its open landscape, displaying a beautiful design fit to impress.
Through renovations, the main living area became a big combination space with a great room, living room and dining room all open to the outdoor kitchen, fireplace and courtyard. An incredible indoor-outdoor lifestyle is possible (and encouraged) in this home, as the interior opens easily to the pool, barbecue, and terraces, all of which beckon a fusion with the private garden paradise. Adding to the property's versatility are two large three-car garages as well as a detached two-bedroom guest apartment above. At first these changes were made to accommodate the lifestyle of the owners, but the eventual additions and updates ended up benefitting the vitality of the property itself.
There is a plethora of unique features that reflect the property's character and attention to detail. For instance, Solakian says, the large outdoor firepit on the exterior was carved out of a sandstone boulder found on the property. From the all-glass art studio to the hen house and vegetable gardens kept within the completely re-landscaped grounds, it is details like these that make this property unique. One of its best features is its location, particularly within Montecito, which Solakian notes is prime Californian real estate for those looking for the best of both worlds: the city and the coast. Unbeknownst to many are the unique qualities of Montecito, a region that possesses both the "depth of culture of a sophisticated metropolitan area, and the magical wonderful ambiance and low-key vibe of a small, sleepy beachy town," Solakian says. With great weather year-round and proximity to luxury amenities such as rich art museums, concert venues, and great restaurants, the home offers a broad appeal through its location and overall design. "[It's] everything the people love in one geographical area," he notes.

According to NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) more than 10 million people have bipolar disorder.
If you're like most people, you probably assume that you have a basic idea of what the disease is about. You've seen or read about celebrities who have acknowledged their illness.
Some of you may know that Demi Lovato learned in 2010 that she is bipolar. Ms. Lovato also has struggled with an eating disorder, depression, and addiction; disorders that often go hand in hand with bipolar disorder. Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the original Star Wars, struggled with drugs and alcohol for years before she learned that she is bipolar. Jean-Claude Van Damme has revealed that he has bipolar disease and noted that it is under control because of medication. Catherine Zeta-Jones revealed in 2011 that she has bipolar II.
For all the publicity surrounding the disorder, there are many facts that are simply not known. Here are the top six that I've noticed as a therapist.
1. FICTION: When people with bipolar disease are manic, they are always happy and energetic.FACT: Mania can often come out looking like anger and rage, or being irritated and edgy. I've had clients describe their mania as "painful," "feeling out of control," or "reeling with emotion." Mania can ruin relationships. It's like a runaway train that threatens a person's work, family, and livelihood.
2. FICTION: Bipolar disorder consists of two states: manic and depressed, and people go between these two states without a break. FACT: With both bipolar I and bipolar II, there is a middle space where a person is not manic/hypomanic and not depressed. Some people will switch rapidly from manic to depressed and back to manic, while others can go from one extreme to a more middle, healthier state.
3. FICTION: Bipolar disease causes everyone's moods to switch dramatically throughout the day.FACT: The reality is that some people stay depressed or manic/hypomanic for months, if not a year or more. This is one reason that bipolar disease is often missed for years and people are misdiagnosed as having major depressive disorder.
5. FICTION: It's impossible to live a happy, normal life with bipolar disease. FACT: People who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder can have wonderful relationships and a happy, fulfilling life. What is crucial is identifying that a person has the disease and finding a treatment or treatments that work. Treatment could involve mood stabilizers, examining lifestyle components such as building or rebuilding relationships, diet, exercise, and stress reduction.
6. FICTION: Bipolar disorder consists of two moods – depressed and manic. FACT: Bipolar disorder comes in two categories: Bipolar I and Bipolar II. Bipolar I is what most people think of when they hear the word bipolar. Bipolar I has mania as one of its criteria. This mania is severe enough to cause serious problems in the life of the person who has it. When someone is manic, they may do things that end up being harmful, such as risky sexual behavior, repeatedly spending much too much money on items that are not needed or cost more than the person can afford. Bipolar II consists of hypomania and depression. Hypomania is the state where a person's mood fluctuates greatly, but it is not severe enough that their lives are drastically disrupted.
There is a great deal that we don't know about bipolar disorder, but there are some very effective treatments, and research continues to find newer medications and treatments to help. There is hope out there.


From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, time spent, or costs involved for "Just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have been about "Just a dog."
Many hours have passed with my only company being "Just a dog," and not once have I felt slighted. Some of my saddest moments were brought about by "Just a dog." In those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "Just a dog" provided comfort and purpose to overcome the day.
If, you, too, think its "Just a dog," you will probably understand phrases like "Just a friend," "Just a sunrise," or "Just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person. Because of "Just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.

Q: Printing with Brother SDK to Brother Network Shared Printer I am developing with vb.net to print barcode label using Brother Printer PT 98OOPCN. I am using Network Shared, not Peer to Peer.
There is my code
Dim objDoc As bpac.Document
objDoc = CreateObject("bpac.Document")
Dim PrinterName As String = "\\hostprinterserver\printer1"

If (objDoc.Open("Label_Barcode\Label_Ex.lbx")) Then
   objDoc.GetObject("dateObject").Text = "10/23/2012"
   objDoc.GetObject("barcodeObject").Text = "100123239734"

   objDoc.SetPrinter(PrinterName, True)
   objDoc.StartPrint("", PrintOptionConstants.bpoDefault)
   objDoc.PrintOut(1, PrintOptionConstants.bpoDefault)
   objDoc.EndPrint()
   objDoc.Close()
End If

Is it possible to print with Brother SDK to Network Shared Printer?
if it is possible how to do that think?

A: Dim PrinterName As String = "printer1 on hostprinterserver'sIP"
For instance:
Dim PrinterName As String = "Brother PT-9600 on 192.168.1.45"

It worked for me!


As mountain bikers, the supposed nuances of petroleum-paved surfaces suitable for riding frail, narrow-tired bicycles on do not concern us. Alternately, every mountain biker eventually morphs into an amateur geologist, taking note of the changing matrix we find our joy upon, joy which is directly dependent upon the qualities of the surface our rubber knobbies dig into, roll across, and slide off of.
As a result, Nature has nurtured your typical SLO mountain biker to become comfortable with a lack of traction, along with a need to maintain excellent wheel-truing skills. "Straight shots" take on a new meaning here, with the only thing maintaining a straight line being your helmet, as underneath you, your bike dances and flicks from side to side in an attempt to find a way through the rocks or a non-sliding surface to grip. In the dark days before suspension, and even after hardtails became the norm, a ride on any of our West Ridge trails would leave your hands and arms vibrating for days afterward. A pleasant consequence of this is that when we get to ride trails with actual dirt—what you might call loam—like in Santa Cruz, we start slobbering like a dog with two tails. If you followed us down the Soquel Demonstration Forest's Sawpit Trail you'd hear phrases like "So that's what a hooked-up turn is!" or "Wow, tire tread actually does influence the bike's trajectory!" ringing out like spokes popping on a 2007 Mavic Crossmax.
One benefit of our lack of traction for you, the Art's customer, is that we get pretty good at figuring out which tires work and which tires don't. Tread patterns have to be responsive and reliable to work here, and a tire's construction has got to be top notch or else its shredded carcass is quickly tossed on the scrap heap of ineffectiveness. If the same tire ends up on several of our bikes, that's the one to bet on.
So to our friends who live in and ride such locales as Santa Cruz, the Pacific Northwest, the Appalachians, and other mountainous regions where the trails consist of soil, we extend our congratulations and mildly conceal our jealousy. Have fun in your berms and eternally grippy cake-batter substrate, while we skitter and slide across our sandstone and clay. But you know what? We wouldn't have it any other way.
*Lately, however, there has been an alarming trend of building new trails to provide as little challenge as possible. Even more disturbing are mis-guided efforts to tun our legacy rock-strewn trails into golf-cart paths.
