Savage Love Aug 7, 2013
I'm a 25-year-old male. After a tragic set of circumstances, I am now the legal guardian of my 15-year-old brother. He's gay. Fortunately, our parents took care of "the talk" and taught him how to use condoms. Unfortunately, he has started dating a senior at his school who is about to turn 18 and is a fucking sleazeball. You know the type: entitled, narcissistic LA type, drives a BMW paid for by his rich parents. This asshole has no respect for my brother. He grabs my brother's ass or says disgusting things like "You really look fuckable in those jeans." I told him to stop that behavior, and he just replied, "Sorry, I can't keep my hands off such a hottie." A keeper for sure, right?
My parents would probably know what to do, but they're dead. I don't think he's mature enough to be in a sexual relationship, but I'm fairly sure he is already sexually active. I laid down the law and told him that he couldn't see his boyfriend anymore, but he has continued to see him behind my back and now doesn't tell me anything that is going on with his life. I don't know what he's doing with a guy like that. My brother is smart, plays lots of sports, and is really involved at school. I'm afraid this loser is going to destroy all that.
I'm new to all of this parenting stuff, but I know that he can't continue to see this person. I know that my issue isn't what you usually deal with, but as a parent yourself, what would you do?
New Parent Needs Help
I'm so sorry about the tragedy that befell your family, NPNH, and the loss of both your parents. You deserve nothing but praise for taking your brother in and taking him on.
That said...
You don't need to round your brother's boyfriend up to 18—you don't need to round him up to "statutory rapist"—to make him sound like an asshole. He sounds like a big enough asshole at age 17. And there's nothing inappropriate about a 17-year-old kid dating a 15-year-old kid, NPNH. You may be tempted to alert the authorities after your brother's asshole boyfriend (BAB) turns 18, but BAB is protected by your state's age-of- consent laws, which treat sex between a minor and an adult differently if the adult is within three years of the minor's age, which this asshole is.
It's also entirely appropriate for a 17-year-old gay boy to grab his 15-year-old boyfriend's ass. And it's entirely appropriate for a 17-year-old to tell his 15-year-old boyfriend that he looks fuckable in his jeans. But it is insanely inappropriate for a 17-year-old kid to do and say those things in front of his 15-year-old boyfriend's parent or legal guardian. Still, NPNH, instead of forbidding your brother from dating this asshole or refusing to let BAB visit your house, speak up when BAB behaves like an asshole in front of you. ("Now is not the time, guys." "Knock that shit off, please." "I don't want to hear about my brother's sex life any more than he wants to hear about my sex life.")
If the asshole doesn't listen—if BAB keeps grabbing your brother's ass—ask him to leave. It's your house and you make the rules. But you should resist the urge to make unenforceable rules like "You may not see this guy," as that will only undermine your authority while driving them into each other's arms. Worse yet, if your brother isn't supposed to be seeing this guy at all, NPNH, he won't feel comfortable turning to you for advice if BAB is pressuring him to do anything dangerous. Your brother needs to be able to talk about his relationship with you, and he can't do that if he's not supposed to be in that relationship.
And take comfort: If BAB is as shallow and materialistic as your letter makes him sound, odds are good that he'll tire of your brother soon enough and move on to the next hot piece of ass who's impressed by his BMW. This is a problem that is likely to solve itself.
My dad just died. He was a pedophile. A lot of stuff is coming up for both my brother and me now. There are many things he did that we know about, but some things happened when we were so young that we're not sure about. My bro just said he's had dreams throughout his life—many more of them lately—about a cock being in his mouth. He's hetero and has been married for more than 20 years. He wonders if any other straight men have dreams like this or if it is some manifestation of the abuse. He is too afraid to ask any of his straight male friends. So I ask you: Do straight men ever have dreams of a cock in their mouth? Or is it odd? Gay? What?
The Brothers Grim
"I am very sorry for TBG's loss, as complicated as it is," said Dr. James Cantor, a psychologist, associate professor at the University of Toronto, and editor in chief of Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment. "The quick answer to his question: no. Although it is unusual, having dreams like that does not, by itself, mean a man is gay or otherwise into penises. (Okay, technically, it's 'penes.') Although there haven't been any formal surveys, gay men usually dream (and fantasize while masturbating) about men in general: muscles and faces, celebrities and crushes, the range of their favorite sex acts, etc. I haven't heard a gay man—friend or client—describe dreams restricted lifelong to just penis-in-mouth."
Dr. Cantor offers a caveat for other readers: "For a long time, many folks believed that such dreams were repressed memories trying to surface. But there was never any good evidence for it. In fact, a great deal of harm has been done by well-meaning 'therapists' who, instead of helping clients to recover lost memories, wound up creating false memories of abuse and destroying whole families." So very clearly and for the record: "Having such dreams, by itself, does not mean a person was abused."
What is odd, however, is the long-standing, repetitive nature of the dreams.
"Although dreams do not tell us anything specific (again, these are not memories-in-waiting or great symbolic themes), they can suggest that there is something on his mind," said Dr. Cantor. "If life is going generally well, and this is just a harmless eccentricity, so be it. If, however, your brother is experiencing more general distress, then that distress—whether fallout from childhood abuse, from the death of your father, or from something else—could be targeted with a bona fide, licensed therapist. Complicated situations like yours almost always involve multiple strong and conflicting emotions. Because you say lots of stuff (other than these dreams) is coming up for you both, an objective outsider/listener can indeed be of great help in sorting it out."
What do you say to a college-age brother who tells you more about his sex life than you want to hear? I love my bro, but I don't need to know how much pussy he's getting. I used to tell him about my "triumphs," but we were in high school then, and I've matured since. He was a late bloomer, he's kind of insecure, and I think he's excited to be doing well socially and sexually. But I don't want to hear about it anymore.
Brotherly Boundaries
"There are two kinds of guys in the world, bro. Guys who can't stop talking about all the pussy they're getting, and guys who're actually getting all sorts of pussy."

Alice J. Galloway
July 03, 1926 ‒ July 14, 2020
Marion, Ohio
In Alice's Memory
Service Details:
Marion Palace Theatre, May Pavilion, 276 W. Center St., Marion
Thursday, Jul 30, 2020 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Alice J. Galloway, age 94, Marion resident since 1954, died Tuesday July 14 at Kingston Residence of Marion. She was born in Jackson, Ohio July 3, 1926 to the late Harold F. and Anna (Driver) Remington.
The family moved to the Hilltop area of Columbus in the early 1930's. While in high school in Columbus, she was active in youth fellowship at their Methodist Church, where she met her future husband Joseph Galloway. She graduated from Columbus West High School in 1944. While Joe was serving in France during WW II, she continued her studies at Ohio State University. She received her B.A. in communications in 1947 and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honors society.
During her studies at OSU, Joe returned from WWII and began taking classes as well. They reacquainted, began dating, and were married May 28, 1948. After short stays in Columbus and Springfield, they moved to Marion in 1954, which became their permanent home.
After the move to Marion and starting a family, she obtained her teaching certificate and taught in the Marion City Schools for 19 years. Her focus was on English, speech, and drama. Known as a teacher who instilled great confidence, she would often use non-traditional methods to better engage her students in the learning process.
While teaching, she became deeply involved with the Marion Palace Theater, taking part in both high school and community productions. She directed the high school musicals for years and participated in many shows done by Marion Community Theater, including performing the role of Aunt Eller in "Oklahoma" twice: once in 1978 and again in 2003.
As a lifelong humanitarian for her community, she and Joe worked tirelessly to help the development of the Ohio State University Marion campus, resulting in the outstanding facility it is today. As a member of the Buckeye Backers, she continued this work throughout her life, and was presented the Ralph Howard Service Award in 2001 for her efforts. Later in 2008 she received two additional awards, the first being the OSU Distinguished Service Award presented by then president Gordon Gee at the 2008 commencement ceremonies. The second was the Josephine Sitterle Failer Award from the OSU Alumni Association for volunteer service to students, which was presented by Archie Griffin.
A lifelong member of Epworth United Methodist Church, she enjoyed participating in the Chancel Choir, frequently performing solos, and served the church in various other capacities. Other activities included: Marion Civic Chorus, the DT chapter of the P.E.O. sisterhood, and being a doting grandmother.
Her grandchildren remember her playing "The Skater's Waltz" on the piano as they danced; bedtime stories (and long backrubs) in which the grandchild played a central part; candy bars secretly hidden in the freezer; peanut and bacon on toast(!); and most importantly – the advice to serve others and don't take yourself too seriously. They all remember her constant presence at countless music and sporting events.
She is survived by son, Curt (Mary) Galloway; granddaughter, Kara (Art) Matthies; granddaughter, Erica (Dean) Gardner; grandson, Ben (Bobbi) Galloway; great grandchildren: Maya Austin, Noah Gardner, Samuel Galloway, Ruby Gardner, Joseph Galloway, and Abigail Galloway; niece, Connie (Herb) Johnson; nephew, Bill (Anita) Remington; nephew, David Galloway; nephew, Steven (Carol) Bowman; and nephew, Gary (Addi) Rice.
Preceded in death by Husband, Joe Galloway; daughter, Susan Swavel; brother, Jim Remington, and brother, Jack Remington.
Her family will greet friends from 3–5 pm on Thursday, July 30, 2020, at the Marion Palace Theatre, May Pavilion, 276 W. Center St., Marion. Services honoring her life will follow there at 5 pm, with Rev. David Hoffman officiating. For those unable to attend, you can watch her services via live stream on the Snyder Funeral Homes, Denzer Chapel, Facebook page, (https://www.facebook.com/DenzerChapelSFH/). Burial will take place at a later date in Marion Cemetery.
Memorial contributions can be sent to the Susan L. Swavel Memorial Scholarship Fund at OSUM, Epworth United Methodist Church, Heartland Hospice of Marion, or the charity of your choosing.
Snyder Funeral Homes, Denzer Chapel, are honored to serve Alice's family and your condolences may be expressed to them by visiting www.SnyderFuneralHomes.com.
Regan R. Elsasser says:
I loved this woman dearly. I was her student in Drama in high school , and she helped me get through a very difficult personal trauma my senior year. I have never forgotten or ever will forget the life lessons she taught me. How fortunate we all who came in contact with her are…An embodiment of Christ's teachings she was…Heaven has gained an extraordinary Angel and our poor Earth is a bit more dim because of her exit….She can now be with her Susan and her Joe…Love you Alice….
Rev Dan Kiger says:
It was an honor to be one of the many pastors who got to care for Alice at Epworth and also it was a kick to be her friend and cohort at the Palace. Marion has lost a fine woman who touched many lives.
Alice Sisson says:
Remember her singing many Sundays at Epworth Methodist. She and my parents, Albert and Alice "Becky" Mascari were friendly and both active in various organizations. She was a wonderful person with many talents.
Sincere sympathy to all her family and friends.
Sue Hachten says:
Heaven has indeed welcomed dear, kind Alice. What a wonderful person, drama teacher, and fellow (Epworth UMC) Chancel Choir soprano! May her family know she touched many, many lives. RIP
Jackie Taylor says:
What a dear friend Alice was. She was a delight to be around and her unfailing sense of humor was a blessing to enjoy. It was my pleasure to have her lead me through the study of the Bible class, and I looked forward to sitting with her in church after she left the choir.
May her family realize what a gem of a Christian she was and a welcoming light to all who met her.
Blessings to the family now and celebration in heaven to all who went before her.
Vaughn Williams says:
Alice was a wonderful teacher and also a neighbor of ours. She had a quiet way of reaching students
In a kind approach. Students loved her. Never once did she complain or bring a student to me. She loved drama, taught it, and acted it. She will be missed.

Dave Shuster, HHS class of 1973 says:
Mrs. Galloway was a great teacher and particularly good at motivating students. I don't think they make teachers of her calibre in large numbers today. My condolences to her family.
Norm and Mary Ann Dickman says:
Working all those years with Alice was a great pleasure. What a lovely lady and true professional. Alice was a credit to the teaching profession. Our children loved her as a teacher and for Amy, a fellow actress. Curt and family, you can be so proud of Alice and Joe's legacy.
Andy Harper says:
What a wonderful; smart, talented, kind and loving lady. And, such a joy to be around. Curt and family; my deepest sympathy.
Barbara Hetrick says:
Alice was a wonderful person, from every point of view! She made our world so much better. She inspired our children in school and theater and life!! We will miss her, but she is surely singing in the Heavens while hugging Susan and Joe! Rest in Peace, dear friend. Barb Hetrick and family
Ed and Vicki Bell says:
The world needs more Alice Galloways! Her spirit, her talents, her sense of humor, her kindness, and her deep faith are examples for all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Undoubtedly, she would tell us that her 94 years were filled with blessings, but for 94 years she blessed US – a legacy that each of us can only hope to leave behind. Our sympathy to Curt and Mary, as well as the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that Alice loved so dearly. May many wonderful memories surround you as you celebrate the life of this wonderful lady.
Kara Matthies says:
Vicki, Thank you! The world needs at least 20 more Alice Galloways.
Vicki Bell says:
Gary and Addi Rice says:
As a nephew to Aunt Alice (Joe Galloway and my mother, Laura, were brother and sister), I and my wife Addi would most certainly agree with the previous thoughts and condolences. Aunt Alice was indeed all those things–sweet, kind, understanding and engagingly humorous. But there was one glaring omission we noticed. She absolutely loved Ohio State football and basketball, along with her unending work in more serious areas for O.S.U. Many were the times over the years when, in one way or another, would get together and root for The Buckeyes. And, boy did she root. It was during times like these and others that her undeniably positive and fun side was so enjoyable to share. So to my dear Aunt Alice, who I know will be reading this, I would shout out one more "GO BUCKS!" She'll be watching.
Health problems have kept Addi and I from traveling for many years, so we sadly regret that we were unable to visit her. Email helped for awhile. But the memories will always be there of the wonderful times and of her heartfelt advice over the years, for along with all her other aforementioned traits–there is one that stands above them all. She was a FRIEND!
And to Curt and Mary, our prayers and condolences, as you stand by us–keeping that word "friend" alive. We love and will miss Aunt Alice tremendously, but she is in a better place and at peace, as I'm sure you know. May God be with you and your entire family.
chuck chesnut says:
Curt. Please accept my condolences of your mothers passing.
Bob Bendet says:
Alice was a beacon of light, happiness and love. It was a pleasure seeing her onstage, in church choir, and at Harding High. My sense of loss is outweighed by my gratitude for her shared talents and warmth. My condolences to Curt, Mary, and family. Thanks for sharing Alice with Marion!
Robert Hinklin says:
To know Alice Galloway was to have a great friend, at any time, and in any situation. Alice was forever a most interesting person as well as a interested person, as all of the other comments shown here have well expressed. I fully agree with Rev Dan's sentiments….it was a kick to be her friend. Two stories……Alice was a beloved sub teacher at Harding, where we enjoyed her most in physics class. As a musician herself, one would think that teaching as a sub in science class would be a stretch. Not in the least. She prepared for teaching any class the way she prepared for a solo gig…thoroughly. Our class was eighth period, end of day. There was this huge glass beaker atop a shelf as you entered the classroom lab, and since this class was after lunch, the students dunked pocket change into this thing all school year. Come the end of the senior year, and we had enough money to rent the yard for an evening at the Marion Country Club, so we did! We did not invite our regular class teacher who lived in Upper Sandusky anyway, but insisted on inviting Alice. Of course she attended gleefully, cementing a long relationship with HHS Class of 63 which endures to this very day. Second story….Alice was truly a gifted vocalist and a long time ago, George Lane was commissioned to write a musical commercial for the L-K Restaurants. Several of the Harding Stardusters were on that band recording, including moi. It was a corny commercial which required several takes, but Alice was patient and dutifully professional, even when my beat up saxophone threw a clam at the wrong times, requiring a retake upon retake. For years, decades in fact, when I would meet up with Alice, I would begin by singing the opening line to the commercial, which caused a full body shake and shudder from Alice in response. She always looked around to see if anyone else remembered what line I was singing, and no one did. Yet, that became our schtick and just one of the friendly ways we recalled each other as friends. Alice, in all respect, i will no longer, and not here, requote any of the lines from that long ago L-K spot that we worked together. Mentioning Alice's name or just recalling her presence will send a warm smile all over my face. Thanks for being so special, Alice, and I assume that you and George and Betty are singing and playing tunes all over the Heavens. I;m booked for a few weeks this fall (!!), but I hope to rejoin you and make some more great music together…and no commercials! Bob Hinklin Cincinnati
Thank you, Bob. I loved hearing that story. I am Alice's grandchild.
Angela Parks says:
My sincere sympathy to the family—
Alice was a dear friend and truly a wonderful lady with whom I always enjoyed working. I will miss her—the puns, OSU conversations, advice—mostly her spirit. She has left me with special memories of the many lives she touched.
Jo Ann Radwin-Zimmerman says:
to Curt and Mary and Family of Alice Galloway
I want to extend my sympathy to you on Alice's passing and hope that you take great comfort in the long and very meaningful life of pleasant relationships she maintained along with her many accomplishments.
I enjoyed her pleasant manner, humor and warmth.
My condolences to family and friends.
Jann Poling Olynyk says:
My sympathy to the family,
Alice was an amazing and talented woman. She directed me in three Marion Harding High School Musicals. She was a very respected teacher and vocalist. I mostly remember her from Epworth when I was growing up. I would love the Sundays she was singing and had a solo. So wonderful to listen to. She was a good friend of my mom's, Lynne Poling. Know that she had a positive effect on everyone and I have many special memories of her.
carolyn moore says:
The Remington's were close friends of my parents, and although Alice was older than me I knew her family well. Her brothers were boy scouts in my Dad's troop. We were all West High alum. Sympathy is extended to her family. Carolyn Stickel Moore
Evelyn Fletcher says:
My prayers and loving thoughts are with you, Curt and Mary, for the loss of your dear mother, such a talented vocalist and an all-around wonderful lady. We met at Epworth church- as choir members- she an alto and me a soprano. Music was an important part of both of our lives and we enjoyed singing solos and duets together for many years . Keep up the solos, Alice – the heavens need a strong alto voice. Bless you, Evelyn Fletcher.
Dorance Hornsby says:
I met Alice when attending some OSU Captains' Club games that her brother, Jim, graciously invited us to. I always enjoyed talking with her about her days at West High. Jim was always so proud of his sister, saying she was the sibling who should be in the West Alumni Hall of Fame and not him! He told me several times of various things she had done. As far as I know, the Alumni Association was not aware that her brother Jim was no longer living. I will let them know about Alice and Jim. My condolences to Alice's family. She was definitely a wonderful person that I am glad I was privileged to know.
Dave Galloway says:
To Curt and Mary and your immediate family:
What a great inspiration your mother was to our family. She was so intelligent, imparting her knowledge ever so quietly. She was a natural teacher with her exquisite use of the English language both verbally and written. She accented our world with her musical talent. Alas, she was a bright light in every room and a friend to all that knew her. She will remain in our hearts forever. I hope that I can describe my Aunt Alice to my children and grandchildren (and great grandchild ) in a way that will give them a model to mold their own lives.
Our most sincere sympathy from my family to yours.
Lynette Burris says:
Heaven gained a beautiful, talented, caring, witty, intelligent lady – our sweet Alice. I so enjoyed sharing the stage with her, sharing teacher stories and singing with her for various events. After watching any of my musical groups perform, Alice was always first to express appreciation and encouragement. Alice was a terrific advocate for education and the arts. Her positive spirit will live on. I'll always remember her fondly. ♥
Kathy Rogers says:
Miss all the times at ballgames with your MOM AND Dad those were the good days, sorry for your lost she was a High Class Lady. Our best to you and Mary and the Kids and the grandkids. Our best to all of you, Beautiful memories Love Dan and Kathy Rogers and family

On February 27th, you tube disabled my possibility to upload videos on my YouTube channel AGAINST THE GRAIN. Also YouTube disabled my possibility to go live on you tube as LIVE EVENT for three months. All my future uploads and live events I will do on my second YouTube channel IGOR KOSTELAC CHANNEL. You can recognize my channel by it's content and visual design. Please be sure to follow me on my TWITTER profile to be sure to get last notice about my live events and new videos. Channel AGAINST THE GRAIN get over thousand subscribers in only two days and video TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND WATCH THIS over 65000 views. So YouTube recognize my work as danger and they find out to shut down upload and live events possibilities. Not to mention that in videos which they take down from my channel got noting to do neither with bullying neither with harassment because both videos are about the airplanes who was forced to land after they lift from the starting airport. Both videos are more than month old and uploaded even year ago. Usually after I post anything what they think that is unappropriated I get warning for less than 30 minutes. This is my Twitter profile. You can follow mwe on my Twiter profile and get notice about last uploaded video and future live events.
And this is my second channel – PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!


The Red Ant is one of the commonest and there are eight species of them here in the UK.
Their sting is the piercing type and can be painful.
Colonies of 100 to 300 can be found under stones and paving or sometimes rotting tree trunks, in most gardens, which is where I was, doing some weeding by hand, when I uncovered a nest of red ants, and dropped the weeds, and retired from the area - too late though! As you can see by the picture above, of the bite I received, the incision and poison still in my leg, after about 6 weeks of being bitten!
"I felt nothing at the time, but later when I went to work, it felt hot, and I noticed a small swelling, that grew in severity of pain as time went by, and I began to feel bilious and unwell.
When I got home, I had stomach pains and was sick.
The swelling got bigger and more painful, and the poison spread widely, eventually I went to the medical centre, ans discovered it was due to a Red Ant bite.


The Home Builder's Association of Greater Siouxland would like to invite you to our 62nd Annual Siouxland Home Show. This event will be held at the Sioux City Convention Center on February 28-March 3, 2019. Our show hours will be Noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m to 8 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 am to 4 p.m. on Sunday.


Conscious uncoupling: Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow ignited that term when it was used to describe their separation earlier this year, but it can be applied just as much to Martin's band. The playful pop sounds of their last two albums are nothing more than a breakup to write about, replaced with the more atmospheric and contemplative themes of Ghost Stories, released on Parlophone/Atlantic this Monday. Finding itself somewhere between a breakup album and an effort with a hint of opportunity, this nine song collection (twelve on the Target deluxe) goes for the personal, but personally, isn't even close to what I was looking for out of their latest material. This isn't to say what the group has written and recorded is subpar, but enduring classics they are not.
The final three tracks in the set, if not the best of the bunch, certainly provide an interesting experience for the listener. It advances with the acoustic-based "Oceans": think of it as the "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face" of Ghost Stories. Perhaps the most intriguing part about is the coda which leads into a full outro, a chaotic assembly of crashing waves, bells ringing in reverse and more. It transitions nicely into the second radio single and obvious hit of the bunch, "A Sky Full Of Stars", co-produced by Avicii. Even more dance-oriented than 2011's "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall", the song is uplifting and the only real hyper positive moment on here. That, of course, means we end on a downer: "O", the piano-heavy ballad that delicately unwinds to the calls of Martin to "fly on" as "a flock of birds". It has single potential down the line.
If the days of Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head are more up your alley, then the finely crafted tunes of Ghost Stories, subtleties and all, will probably appeal more to you than the casual fan of "Viva La Vida". It's certainly not lacking in terms of inspiration, but given the jump from the pop-driven Mylo Xyloto to this, the experience isn't wholly satisfying. Then again, one could argue that the concept of adoration isn't either. Love on the rocks ain't no big surprise, and neither are the sales that come along with the hype of an act like Coldplay. Though this album's start will likely be slower and not as impressive in the long run, there are a few songs on here that could drive numbers up.
There's unfinished business to be had, but I'm sure it'll be years before anything new is ready for our consumption. Until then, get a good bookmark. You may find yourself coming back to these Stories when you least expect it.

'The Expanse' is the sci-fi show you're looking for
Geek Girl Diva 11.23.15 4 years ago
I'm going to start off by saying I not only liked "The Expanse", I loved it. Loved. It. So much so that I watched all four screener episodes I was sent one after the other with the passion I normally reserve for Red Vines at the movie theater (don't get mad at me, Twizzlers fans. You know RV are usually the only movie option.) So, yeah, I wanted that out of the way so I could skip past any idea of a critical review (there are people who do those so much better than I do) and go right for the fangirling.
I came into "The Expanse" pretty much cold. In fact, my husband was the one who started talking about it when Syfy first announced the series. He was the one who piqued my interest. I've never read the book. It was only through promo videos for the show I learned James S.A. Corey was two people. That meant that I didn't have any expectations, but it also meant that I didn't have anything to bias me as far as any past information.
Much like I enjoyed how "Killjoys" drops you into a world that's already built and eschews a lot of exposition, "The Expanse" hits the ground running. Yeah, you get a quick rundown: Earth has now colonized Mars and Mars is very much about its own independence. Meanwhile a space station called Ceres sits in the middle and gathers water for both planets and themselves.
Guess who gets the short end of the stick in that arrangement?
But it's Ceres that intrigued me most. Not just the characters surviving the daily life of just being on Ceres, but there are all the socio-political issues that come with living there. And they are plentiful. It can feel a little bit like being tossed into the deep end of the pool and being forced to learn to swim, but I love being challenged to immerse myself in a story without much handholding. I like having to rewind to make sure I heard something right, or pausing to think about something that just happened. To quote a phrase from "Dune", 'I see plans within plans," which had me gleefully rubbing my hands trying to figure out everything I could.
From the outside, I'm sure people could consider some of the character's trope-y, but I prefer to think of them as archetypes. Much like "Battlestar Galactica" had archetypes: The Diplomat, the Pilot who Doubts Themselves, the Person with Ulterior Motives.
Thomas Jane's plays Detective Miller, a man who's seen too much, but still manages to see beauty in small things. Not a "Heart of Gold" sort of dude, but more someone who's trying to just muddle through life, do his job, and try and find something good in a place that feels like it's slowly dying. He also has the best haircut on the planet, as far as I'm concerned. Very Zorg from "The Fifth Element," but freed from restraint, save for a cool fedora.
Shohreh Aghdashloo is nothing short of exquisite as Chrisjen Avasarala, Deputy Undersecretary for the United Nations. Honestly, if this show was strictly about her, I'd be happy. There are moments where I was physically slack-jawed at some of the things she does and says because she really is mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time.
Standouts for me were Dominique Tipper as Naomi Nagata and Cas Anvar's Alex Kamal, but the entire cast feels pretty good and no one feels out of place. Four episodes in, you know more about everyone than you did when you started, but that doesn't mean you know the truth. I like that. Make me guess.
The sets, the look and feel of the show, the environments –– those are what I truly loved best. Just like "BSG" built a world within a ship, "The Expanse" builds multiple worlds between planets, a space station, and ships –– and each of those worlds feels unique. One of these days, I'll figure out a better word for "gritty" when I mean "real/worn down/scarred/lived in" but you get the drift. How you live is directly related to your circumstances and some have it better than others. Certain things you would have never accepted become commonplace and, before you know it, it's the new normal.
One running gag that made me grin is Stephen Strait's character Holden, and his ongoing mission to find a decent cup of coffee in space. It really is the little things that can make life livable. Me? I'm like one of the Belters who just wants something green.
You'll likely hear positive, negative, and neutral reviews on this series. My guess is that it's going to fall into different camps for people because of how it's made and the feel of the show. But, I have a suggestion. Don't decide based on the reviews alone. Syfy's airing the first episode digitally on the 23rd and the first episode premieres on Syfy on December 14th.
Watch the first episode. See what you think. If you hate it, hey, you checked it out. Feel free to come back and tell me I'm wrong and why. If you love it, come back and tell me that, too. I just feel like this is really something…special. It feels like BSG to my sci-fi loving heart and, as I recall, there was a lot of magic in that old ship.
Finally, Syfy itself has been putting out a lot of information via Twitter and their website to get people as up to speed as possible. Check it out if you're so inclined.
"The Expanse" is streaming now on SyFy.

Genetic Testing Coming To a Drugstore Near You
Posted by kdawson on Wednesday May 12, @08:05AM
from the your-privacy-is-assured dept.
Hugh Pickens writes"The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Walgreens is slated to begin selling genetic-testing kits priced from $20 to $30 apiece that can tell people whether they're likely to get breast cancer, Alzheimer's disease, become obese, or suffer from a range of other maladies. However, to get the results of various tests, shoppers will have to fork over an additional $79 for drug-response results, $179 for 'pre-pregnancy planning' results, $179 for health condition results, or $249 for a combination of the three. Pathway Genomics and other companies already offer such tests online, but Walgreens will be the first brick-and-mortar retailer to sell them. FDA spokeswoman Karen Riley says Pathway overstepped its bounds when it announced its plans to market the tests directly to the consumer at 6,000 of Walgreen's 7,500 stores and wants Pathway Genomics to submit data showing that its tests give accurate results.'The claims have limitations based on existing science,' says Riley, 'and consumers should not be making important medical and lifestyle decisions based on these tests without first consulting a health-care professional.' Walgreen responded that FDA clearance is not required to sell the kit in its stores; and anyway, the drugstore chain already sells other diagnostic and testing products such as pregnancy tests, paternity tests, and drug tests."

The Home Depot takes LED lighting mainstream with $20 bulbs
By Sean Hollister posted May 11th 2010 3:57AM
Slowly but surely, LED light bulbs have been getting brighter and more efficient, but price has always been a major factor staying their adoption. Back in 2007, a single 308 lumen bulb cost $65, and the more things changed, the more they've stayed the same. Now, out of the blue, The Home Depot has stepped forward with a cost-effective alternative. For $20, the new EcoSmart LED bulb promises a 429 lumen, 40W equivalent with a 50,000 hour expected lifetime, making it cheaper and nearly as powerful as the450 lumen, $40-50 design industry heavyweight GE unveiled last month. Best of all, it's already available for purchase (though backordered) at our source link. Honestly, we're starting to wonder what the catch is. PR after the break.
New HDD writing methods could boost platter densities by 5x or more
By Tim Stevens posted May 10th 2010 7:35AM
Just when we think that platter-based storage is on its way out it keeps on coming back with a vengeance. A few years ago it was perpendicular recording boosting storage densities by a few orders of magnitude, now it's a pair of new techniques that could push things much further. Your average disk today can manage a couple-hundred GB per square inch while still delivering reliable writes, but if all goes to plan the write methods called bit-patterned recording (BPR) and thermally-assisted recording (TAR) could raise that to 1TB per inch initially and upwards of 10TB per inch down the road. BPR relies on segregating the disk sectors with lithographed "islands" while TAR relies on heating and cooling techniques that preserve the data in nearby sectors. When these Wonder Twins combine, disk sectors can be as small as 15nm in diameter and write speeds can hit 250mb/sec. Yes, that's megabits, so while you'll be able to store a lot more data than on conventional platters, you won't be able to do so any more quickly than now.

Sixers' shortcomings on defense are a significant worry for the looming stretch run | David Murphy
Updated: February 15, 2019 - 5:00 AM
David Murphy | @ByDavidMurphy | dmurphy@inquirer.com
Sixers Head Coach Brett Brown talks to guard Ben Simmons and forward Tobias Harris during the fourth-quarter against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, February 8, 2019 in Philadelphia.
YONG KIM / Staff Photographer
Before we bite into the meat of the discussion, let's start with a few important pieces of context. It has been nearly two decades since the Sixers entered the All-Star break in as positive a position as the one they currently enjoy. Their 37 wins are the most through 58 games since 2000-01, which also happens to be the last time they advanced to the NBA Finals. They are five games ahead of where they were at this point last year.
The Sixers are a good basketball team, one of maybe six teams with a legitimate shot at competing in this year's NBA Finals. Every question that currently confronts this team concerns its ability to eventually emerge from that pack. As Elton Brand and Brett Brown have said on numerous occasions, the timeline has shifted for this team. The goals have changed. No longer are expectations limited to a playoff berth. The hope is that these Sixers are championship worthy.

After All-Star break, Brett Brown and the Sixers will go back to basics
So that's the context that surrounds the question of whether or not this Sixers team will be able to find itself defensively between now and the playoffs.
Even in Wednesday night's 126-111 win over the Knicks, there were some concerning moments. Throughout the game, the Knicks' rag-tag collection of perimeter players put far too much pressure on the Sixers for a team that entered the night 10-47. Rookie guard Alonzo Trier finished with 19 points on 5-of-9 shooting at a +9 in 27 minutes off the bench, while reserve point guard Kadeem Allen scored 13 on 5-of-11 shooting.
Therein lies the biggest problem that Brett Brown needs to solve. With JJ Redick, T.J. McConnell, and Furkan Korkmaz, he has a trio of backcourt options that all have significant limitations on defense. The addition of James Ennis and Jonathon Simmons gives the Sixers a couple of more options, but the overarching reality is that they simply do not have the sort of portfolio two-way guards and wings that might allow Brown to mix-and-match the way Boston does with Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown and Gordon Heyward.
It's a problem even when Joel Embiid is on the court, as Boston showed on Tuesday, when it routinely used Smart to attack Redick. When Embiid is on the bench, that problem is only magnified.
Early indications are that gargantuan Serbian Boban Marjonovic will enjoy the same cult-hero status in Philadelphia as he has in previous stops. Against the Celtics on Tuesday, he received a standing ovation after making a one-handed, flat-footed rebound over Daniel Theis on the defensive end of the court and then drawing a foul at the opposite rim. That night, in a three-point loss, the Sixers were only outscored by two points when Marjonovic was on the court. On Wednesday, against the Knicks, he finished at +6 in nearly 14 minutes. On the flip side, he was -9 in a combined 28 minutes against the Nuggets and Lakers, games that the Sixers won by a combined 30.
From a pragmatic standpoint, the inclusion of Marjonovic in the trade that brought Tobias Harris to the Sixers can't help but make them better. In their first two losses to the Celtics this season, the Sixers were outscored by 19 points in the 19 minutes that Embiid was not on the court. Conversely, they were -6 in the 77 minutes that he was protecting the rim, while Mike Muscala and Amir Johnson were a combined -21.
But while the Sixers might be better positioned to survive Embiid's stints on the bench, what remains to be seen is if they are good enough.
Whenever Marjonovic checked into the game against the Celtics, Boston coach Brad Stevens responded by pulling Theis off the bench. The Sixers were largely able to weather those small lineups. But, keep in mind, Boston was playing without back-up five man Aron Baynes, whose 7-of-16 shooting performance from behind the arc was a significant factor in the Sixers' loss last postseason.
STEVEN M. FALK / Staff Photographer

The liabilities created by Marjonovic's lumbering speed, have been evident on plenty of occasions during his first four games with the team. This has prompted some calls from fans for Brown make use of rookie Jonah Bolden, who has not gotten into a game since last week's trade after averaging 15.6 minutes per night in 19 games between Dec. 22 and Feb. 5.
But those calls ignore the fact that the results have not been great with Bolden at the five this season. In 61 minutes as the primary big, opponents have posted a 115.5 offensive rating with a .550 effective field-goal percentage. Neither of those marks are ideal. Conversely, when Bolden has been paired with either Embiid or recently-traded big man Mike Muscala, the Sixers have posted a defensive rating of 88.1 while limiting opponents to an effective field goal percentage of .427.
"I feel that I need to learn — we need to learn," Brown said. "We want the regular season to do that. With Boban, I want to give him the chance more than go away from him, than not."
No team in franchise history has scored more points through 58 games than 6,723 that the Sixers have scored this season. That's nearly 500 more points than they'd scored through the same number of games last season. But along with that improvement has come some regression on the defensive end. It's a balance the Sixers will need to better strike if they hope to finally be able to consistently beat a team like Boston or Toronto.
They have a couple of months to figure it out.

Q: Comparing two tables and deleting stale data I'm trying to delete stale records in a table based on another table.  Our issue is that courses were given to students in two different buildings in Table_A.  We need to compare Table_A to Table_B, based on Student_ID and Building.  If the student's Table_B Building does not match Table_A, delete record that do not have the same building, but keep the ones that are in the same building.
Table_A contains student schedules:

*

*SCHOOL_YEAR

*STUDENT_ID

*BUILDING

*COURSE

Table_B contains the students registration:

*

*STUDENT_ID

*BUILDING

Here is what I've come up with:
DELETE FROM Table_A
WHERE exists
(SELECT Table_B.STUDENT_ID, Table_B.BUILDING, TABLE_A.BUILDING
FROM TABLE_B
INNER JOIN TABLE_A ON Table_B.STUDENT_ID = Table_A.STUDENT_ID
AND Table_B.BUILDING <> Table_A.BUILDING
AND Table_A.SCHOOL_YEAR = 2015)

A: You can do it like this:
DELETE FROM Table_A
WHERE STUDENT_ID IN (SELECT a.STUDENT_ID
                     FROM TABLE_B b
                     JOIN TABLE_A a ON (a.STUDENT_ID = b.STUDENT_ID)
                     WHERE a.BUILDING <> b.BUILDING
                       AND a.SCHOOL_YEAR = 2015)

Researchers at IRB Barcelona, a BIST centre, publish in the journal Nature the mechanism by which dietary palmitic acid (and not oleic or linoleic acid) favours tumour expansion.
Ninety per cent of cancer deaths are caused by metastasis, that is to say, the spread of the primary tumour to other organs. Scientists led by ICREA researcher Dr. Salvador Aznar-Benitah at IRB Barcelona have described the mechanism by which a diet rich in palmitic acid makes tumour cells more aggressive, conferring them a greater capacity to metastasize.
The authors have identified several "memory" markers left in tumour cells after exposure to palmitic acid: a change that causes cells to conserve greater metastatic capacity, even months after exposure to the fatty acid and that it could be related to a greater capacity of these tumor cells to promote innervation.
"In 2017, we published a study indicating that palmitic acid correlates with increased risk of metastasis, but we didn't know the mechanism responsible for this. In this study, we detail the process and reveal the involvement of a metastatic capacity "memory" factor and we point to a therapeutic approach to reverse it. This is promising," says Dr. Aznar-Benitah.
The metastatic "memory" of palmitic acid
In this work, oral tumour cells and melanomas from patients were exposed to a diet rich in palmitic acid. When transplanted into mice, it was observed that they showed a greater capacity to metastasize, even when this diet was administered for a short period prior to the transfer. The alterations of the genome (known as epigenetic modifications) of metastatic cells caused by the fatty acid are permanent and, consequently, the cells maintain the most "aggressive" properties in a stable manner. The authors describe this behaviour as a "stable memory".
Our results indicate that a diet rich in palm oil would favour the development of cancer, even if exposure to this fatty acid occurs in a very early stage of the disease in which the primary tumour may still not have been detected. The scientists have observed that this expansive and colonising capacity is acquired as a result of the consumption of palmitic acid (predominant in palm oil), but not of oleic acid (abundant in olive oil) or linoleic acid (characteristic of flaxseed). These results suggest that aggressiveness is linked not only to fat metabolism but also to epigenetic modifications that occur in tumour cells in response to exposure to palmitic acid.
Tumour innervation: key to its spread
For a tumour cell to metastasize, first it must detach from the tumour of origin, enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system, reach another organ, and survive and grow there. In this study, the authors have identified that a diet rich in palmitic acid allows tumour cells to form a neural network around the tumour.
The tumour cells with the most metastatic capacity (i.e. with memory) get the capacity to attract the nervous system, and the neural network that forms around the tumour produces a regenerative environment, which the cells use to their advantage to grow and spread.
Slowing down metastasis by blocking Schwann cells
One of the key elements in the formation of the neural network that favours metastasis are the so-called Schwann cells, which surround and protect neurons. The study published in the journal Nature demonstrates that various approaches to block Schwann cells inhibit the development of this neural network, thereby preventing metastasis.
"This discovery paves the way for research into and the development of therapies that specifically block cancer metastasis, a process that is almost always the cause of death by cancer," concludes Dr. Gloria Pascual, associate researcher in the Stem Cells and Cancer lab at IRB Barcelona and co-first author of the paper together with Dr. Diana Domínguez.

A majority of developers plan to move at least a portion of their IT resources to the public cloud this year, according to a recent study by Evans Data Corp., a Santa Cruz, CA-based researcher.
Data from the researcher's Cloud Development Survey conducted at the close of 2009 revealed that 87 percent of the 400 participating developers will move up to half of their IT resources to the public cloud within the next 12 months.
The results, which signal developers' belief and hesitation with the public cloud, show that the "hybrid cloud is set to dominate the coming IT landscape," the researcher said.
Janet Garvin, Evans chief executive, said that the hybrid cloud, which retains elements of public and private cloud environments, addresses security and government compliance issues that act as impediments to public cloud adoption.
"The hybrid cloud presents a very reasonable model, which is easy to assimilate and provides a gateway to cloud computing without the need to commit all resources or surrender all control and security to an outside vendor," Garvin said.
The survey also revealed that most developers (55 percent) prefer MySQL as the database for use in the public cloud, and that 64 percent expect their cloud applications to extend to mobile devices.
The survey examined a variety of issues surrounding cloud development, including time lines for public and private cloud adoption, obstacles and perceived benefits of cloud computing, collaborating and developing in the cloud, tools and architectures for cloud development, and virtualization in the private data center.

Cyprus Airways trademarks up for grabs
The Cyprus Airways logos and trademarks are on the market, with the government seeking expressions of interest.
An official announcement regarding the trademarks stated: "The purpose of this Expression of Interest process is to determine interest of prospective parties for the exclusive license to use/exploit the Logos and Trademarks for the operation of a flights schedule out of the Republic of Cyprus."
The airline, which once dominated air travel in Cyprus died earlier this year; broke and too weak to attempt a comeback after the European Commission ruled that €102 million in government support it received in 2012 and 2013 constituted illegal state aid.


An International Congress on Biomaterials, Biomat 2014, will take place soon in Cuba to update criteria and concepts related to global progress of this science, said the organizing committee of the meeting.
The event will serve students, researchers, technologists, teachers, doctors, dentists and experts to establish the basis for future collaboration and joint development programs, and to enhance cooperation and exchange among colleagues in this scientific field.
In its sixth year, Biomat 2014 will be held at the Havana School San Geronimo, November from 19 to 21. The opening ceremony will happen in the Aula Magna of the University of Havana.
Different seminars that combine Biomaterials Science and its applications will be developed within a scientific program designed to plenary lectures, oral presentations, seminars and posters.
Among the various international events to be held simultaneously are the First Seminar of Innovation for Biomaterials, the First Seminar of Cuban-Catalan Implantology, the Second Meeting of the Latin American Group for Clinical Applications and Research in Biomaterials (Glaicb) and I Clinical Seminar on Biomaterials Regulations.
Biomat 2014 is organized by the Centre for Biomaterials, the UNESCO Chair of Biomaterials of the University of Havana and Biomaterials Laboratory Institute of Polymer Science and Technology, Spain.
The meeting is sponsored by the University of Havana, the Ministries of Higher Education and Public Health, Cuban Chemical Society, Health Scientific Societies and the Center for Dental Specialties and Advanced Studies in Veracruz, Mexico, the College of Implantology and Microdent Company, both from Barcelona, Spain.

Ceiling fans can not only keep the air circulating your home, but they can also add to your home's décor, making your home more attractive, functional and energy efficient. Ceiling fans come in a variety of sizes and designs and have a number of different features.
Most of the house fans include also light, which makes them highly functional and stylish looking while some of them can be used both during cold and warm weather.
So, here is a look at some of the best rated ceiling fans we have selected.
This Hunter 53091 Ceiling Fan is styled, well constructed and very easy to install. This is a fan that should look good in any room of your home while providing those cooling breezes that makes surviving the warm weather more comfortable.
The motor is actually extremely quiet for a fan of this size and the light that comes with it takes candelabra bulbs rather than standard light bulbs. The wood fan blades are attractive and extremely easy to keep dust free with just a feather duster.
Since this product can be controlled manually and does not come with a remote control, you might want to buy one if you think that you need it.

Designed for rooms up to 400 square feet.
Piped Toffee glass light bowl.
Simple installation with position mounting.
Comes in cherry, mahogany and white finish.
Limited lifetime motor guarantee and 1 year limited on some parts of the fan.
Comes with a balance kit to prevent wobbling.
Moves air extremely well without being loud.
Fantastic fan for the price.
This Westinghouse 7861400 fan is designed for industrial and commercial places since it operates at higher speeds than common ceiling fans and it needs to be hung 10 feet above the floor at least.
It is very utilitarian looking, and therefore may have limited appeal for home use, however it would be perfect for that garage workroom or even that exercise room in the basement.
It can circulate air in spaces up to 360 square feet and comes with a retro and rather clunky wall switch that is used to turn it on or off.
Brushed nickel finish and also available in white finish.456" fan with 3 blades.
78" lead wire ½" X 12" down rod, ball hanger installation system.

Its blades are 13 inches from the ceiling allowing for good drawing and movement of air. The fan itself is easy to clean and has a clean minimalist look about it but potential customers should note that it cannot be installed on sloping ceilings unless you buy a sloped ceiling adaptor.
6" down rod for mounting installation.
Fits smaller areas than many ceiling fans.
The Westinghouse Harmony ceiling fan is a refined and contemporary looking fan which can balance nicely with almost any decoration.
Despite only having two blades, it circulates a reasonable amount of air. This is a well built fan for a reasonable price and the opal frosted glass light covering is actually very attractive.
Since the light seems to be a bit dim for some users who prefer a better room coverage, you can replace the bulbs that are included with higher wattage bulbs.
The blades are made from maple plywood and it does have a reversible switch which is great for pushing warm air down during the colder months. While this fan does not come with a remote control, it is possible to purchase a compatible remote to connect the fan to.

Reversible switch to be used during both cooler and warmer weather conditions.
Lifetime warranty on motor with 2 years on all other parts.
Reviews for the Westinghouse ceiling fan and light are very positive with the vast majority of users who have purchased it being extremely glad they did so. Few users felt that the lights are little dim, but this could be due to the opal frosted glass cover.
Pull chains work well and are clearly marked as to the one for the light and the one for the fan.
The Minka-Air Wave Ceiling Fan is an extremely attractive quiet operation fan with 3 blades that is perfect for rustic and country style homes as well as more modern homes. Its unique look is sure to make it a conversation piece as well as a functional way to circulate air in your home or office.
The fan does not come with a down rod, but this is not completely true. While it does not come with the long down rod (pictured on Amazon) it does come with a short 6" down rod.
The wave cannot be reversed from Summer to Winter and vice versa with the remote control but it has to be done manually since the switch is under the motor cover.
Reviews are very good with most users choosing this fan due to its unique looks and sophisticated style.
Provides for good air circulation.
In conclusion, if you are looking to buy a functional, well built and attractive ceiling fan to meet your needs, then the above best rated ceiling fans will be ideal.
