Hollywood taps North Korea as its new go-to bad guy
March 9, 2013
Hollywood has been embracing a villain as nightmarish as Freddy Krueger, as darkly mysterious as Darth Vader and more politically correct than the Russians and Mideast terrorists who had been the favored bad guys.
When the "Red Dawn" remake was released in November (it came out on DVD Tuesday), with North Korea in the invading enemy role that the Soviet Union filled in the 1984 original, it became the latest of a half-dozen Western-made feature films that have portrayed the provocative communist country as the heavy over the past decade.
The list of titles where North Koreans — or the country itself — play varying forms of movie miscreants includes "Die Another Day" (2002), "Team America: World Police" (2004), "Stealth" (2005), "Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil" (2006) and "Salt" (2010). That doesn't include about a dozen South Korean-made movies and a slew of documentaries.
There were apparently only three mainstream movies with the North as the bad guy that were made in the previous 30-plus years, dating back to the 1970s Korean War comedy-drama "M*A*S*H."
Experts on film and the cloistered country say its characterization is the result of several factors.
First and foremost, they say, is that North Korea has for decades proven itself to be an unpredictable, dangerous country full of venom and bluster.
"North Korea is a bad guy in the real world, since the country is always making trouble on a global level through its development of nuclear weapons, its exporting of weapons of mass destruction to the Middle East, its being involved in illegal drug trafficking and so on," said Lee Woo Young, a professor of North Korean films at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.
Johannes Schonherr, author of "North Korean Cinema — A History," agreed: "North Korea sets itself up as an ideal target: strange propaganda abounding, weird military-focused leader, blustering about their invincibility all the time, always trying to provoke international headlines with threats or actually small-scale military attacks on U.S.- ally South Korea.
"Which moviemaker wouldn't love an enemy like that?" he said. "It offers everything a movie bad guy needs to be convincing."
In addition, the other traditional bad guys have become less attractive to Hollywood. The Cold War is over, so the Russians' dark star has faded. While 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would seem to make Middle Eastern countries an easy target for a screenwriter, cultural sensitivities and political correctness serve as a strong counterbalance.
"The Soviet Union has dissolved and there's no more communist bloc in Eastern Europe, so Hollywood needed to look for another bad guy," said Jay Soh, a film professor at the Seoul Institute of the Arts in Ansan.
Although American filmmakers featured Middle Eastern terrorists a number of times in the 1990s, he said, a backlash from and on behalf of Muslims made featuring them problematic.
"Hollywood was looking for a new enemy that was not going to inflame people … so they chose North Korea as the enemy of the U.S.," Soh said.
"(The movies) show North Korea as the last stronghold of 'The Iron Curtain,' and the sort of 'totalitarian evil' that existed before, in the movies of the 1980s."
While China might seem to be an obvious choice, the bottom line is a factor, since Beijing controls what films make it to theaters in the world's most populous country.
For example, when the "Red Dawn" remake was filmed, the invading army originally was Chinese. However, in postproduction, elaborate editing was reportedly done to change the invaders into North Koreans because the film's backers feared China would not allow it to be shown there otherwise.
"I believe that China has replaced the Soviet Union as the enemy," Schonherr said. "However, the economic ties between the U.S. and China are very strong. Therefore, Hollywood can't portray China as the enemy. North Korea is the weird little dictatorship that has to stand in for China."
Simon Fowler, a British film critic who specializes in Asian cinema and runs a website devoted to North-made movies (northkoreanfilms.com), said North Korea is an easier choice.
"You're unlikely to upset anybody's feelings, like China (which is) now contributing to the production of a lot of Western movies," he said.
Jung Jae Hyung, a professor in the Department of Film and Digital Media at Dongguk University in Seoul, said potential profits aside, "North Korea is being stereotyped, but the North has given good reasons for that."
Fresh off a satellite launch that many believe was cover for a test of long-range missile capabilities, and with young leader Kim Jong Un apparently following the same provocative path of his late father, Kim Jong Il, North Korea could be a popular movie villain for years to come.
"I do believe that this image of North Korea being the bad guy will continue … because hard-liners there want to continue the same sort of policies of Kim Jong Il with his son," Soh said.
"I think that as long as they continue being hard-liners against Americans and the rest of the world, North Korea will definitely be seen as an evil symbol in all of Hollywood cinema," he said.
If anyone feels guilty about making tiny North Korea the new Hollywood heavy, Schonherr said turnabout is fair play.
"North Koreans are trained by North Korean movies to see the U.S. as their enemy," he said. "North Korea wants to be the enemy, and Hollywood is happy to assign that role to them."

The London Life Sciences Prospective Population Study (abbreviated to the "LOLIPOP study" or "LOLIPOP") is a major UK research study investigating the mechanisms underlying heart disease stroke, diabetes, obesity and other major medical problems.
The LOLIPOP study has been running since 2002 and comprises detailed health assessments on more than 30,000 people living in West London. These volunteers will be followed for many years – by observing who remains well over the long-term, we can identify new causes for ill-health. In the future this may in turn enable researchers in the UK and elsewhere to develop new ways to preserve good health.
The LOLIPOP study is based at Ealing Hospital in West London, and at Imperial College London. We work in close collaboration with a number of major UK and overseas institutions, including Oxford, Cambridge, University College and Harvard Universities, deCODE Genetics and the Beijing Genomics Institute.
LOLIPOP has established itself as a unique scientific resource and has already been responsible for a number of major discoveries. Our unique study design holds the promise for making further scientific advances in years to come. LOLIPOP is thus a study of national and international importance.
The University of Surrey joined the LOLIPOP team in 2011, with the aim of providing a follow-up of the cohort. This will be done by collecting routine health care data (primary and secondary) for all of the patients that have agreed to participate in this study. All of the data will be held in an anonymised format at the University of Surrey's secure servers.
The purpose of this follow-up is to find any cases of cardiovascular disease in the cohort, after 10 years, which will help the team better understand the underlying mechanisms of these conditions. In order to receive health information, including hospital admissions and cause of death data, participants identifiable data is supplied to the Health and Social Care Information Centre and the Office for National Statistics. For more information regarding the University of Surrey's involvement in this project, please contact Professor Simon de Lusignan (firstname.lastname@example.com) or your doctor. If you are a member of the LOLIPOP cohort, and would like to opt out of your data being collected, please visit the Withdrawal section of this website.

IceHogs lose lead, game in overtime
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After outshooting the Charlotte Checkers 19-2 in the second period on Thursday night and failing to build on their 2-1 first-period lead, the Rockford IceHogs had to dig in the third frame.
Unfortunately, the 'Hogs penalty kill couldn't hold down the Checkers after Rockford went scoreless on four second-period chances, eventually falling 3-2 in overtime at the Time Warner Cable Arena.
For the second straight game, winger Kyle Beach scored on his first shift of the contest. Beach picked off a Checkers pass at the Rockford blueline, led a transition rush and beat John Muse in the Charlotte zone from the right faceoff circle for his fourth tally of the season, 1:41 into the game.
Brad Winchester later picked off a Checkers pass behind the Charlotte goal and found Mark McNeill in front of Muse where he potted his team-leading eighth goal of the season at 9:42 to make it 2-0.
Charlotte got one back at 14:05 of the opening frame when Zach Boychuk followed his own rebound and shelved his eighth tally of the campaign over Kent Simpson.
A Rockford penalty carried over into the third period and the Checkers would use their first advantage to tie the game. Boychuk picked up a loose puck in front of Simpson and fired home his second goal of the game at 1:04 of the final frame. Including a 1-2 effort on Thursday, Charlotte is 9-25 on the power play against Rockford in five games this season.
In the overtime, Brody Sutter cleaned up a Rasmus Rissanen rebound on the doorstep at 2:31 of the extra session to win it for the Checkers.
These two teams will meet again Saturday in Charlotte.

Sweet Potato Sourdough with Walnuts
Sending this to Yeastspotting.
We live in downtown Seattle with lots of good restaurants, however very few of them have good bread. The other day, I went to a pretty upscale bistro nearby for lunch, great food but the "baked on site sourdough bread" was below average. The baguette was tight crumbed and hard to chew, the walnut sourdough was also tough with little flavor. It's a shame that a place with such fresh and imaginitive menu doesn't pay more attention to their bread offering.
Came home and made this walnut soudough to satisfy my bread craving. Threw in some sweet potato puree, ww flour, and maple syrup for more flavor.
Bread Flour, 228g
WW Flour, 70g
Sweet Potato Puree, 105g
Starter(100%), 105g
Water, 152g
Salt, 5g
Maple Syrup, 18g
Walnuts, 77g, toasted
1. Mix everything but walnuts, autolyse for 20 to 60min,mix @ medium speed for 3-4 min until gluten starts to develope, mix in walnuts.
2. Bulk rise at room temp (~75F) for about 2.5hrs. S&F at 30, 60, 90min.
4. Shape, put in basketes smooth side down, put in fridge over night.
5. Next morning take the dough out to finish proofing, about 70min for me. Score.
6. Bake at 450F with steam for 15min, lower to 420, bake for another 25min.
Sutle sweetness from sweet potato works great with sourdough, maple syrup, and ww flour. Walnuts adds fragrance and crunch.
Cheese, red wine, good sourdough bread - my idea of a perfect meal.
I found a very good cheese shop nearby, this German limburger cheese is deliciously stinky (it was compared to "body odor", and I still bought it!).
Using the same batch of sweet potato puree, I made some muffins
With topping and some cream cheese filling so they are extra yummy. Forgot exactly which recipe I used, but I do remember it's a good basic pumpkin muffin recipe I based these on.

Lettuce greens are so easy to grow, so nutritious, and so delicious picked fresh from the garden, that everyone should grow them. Grow lettuce in the vegetable garden, tuck it into flowerbeds, or cultivate it in raised beds or containers. With regular watering, shade from hot sun, and succession planting, you can enjoy homegrown lettuce almost year-round in much of the country.
Types Of Lettuce
Home gardeners can choose from dozens of different cultivars, each with its own special taste, appearance, and texture.
Cabbagelike crisphead, or iceberg, lettuce stands up to hot weather and ships well; it is the old standby in stores. It also has the thickest, crunchiest leaves of any lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is the least nutritious type, but like all lettuce, it is a good source of dietary fiber. After years of being dismissed as worthless, iceberg lettuce has undergone a renaissance among chefs, so you're as likely to encounter an iceberg wedge with house-made blue cheese dressing in a restaurant as a salad of spring greens or mesclun mix.
(Whether you're starting your first garden or switching to organic, Rodale's Basic Organic Gardening has all the answers and advice you need—get your copy today!)
The crunchy, spoon-shaped leaves of romaine, or cos, lettuce are much more nutritious. In addition to being heat tolerant and easy to grow, the big-leaved types also produce crisp, white hearts that can substitute for celery. Romaine is the traditional choice for Caesar salads. Red-leaved and red-speckled romaine lettuces are especially beautiful in salads. Because romaine lettuce is both crunchy and nutritious, it's also a great choice for sandwiches.

Butterhead, or Boston, lettuce has soft, tender, rich green outer leaves and white to yellowish hearts. It is also high in nutrition, and its taste and texture are excellent. Many butter-heads, particularly the quick-maturing cultivars, require cool weather and an excellent soil to produce well.
Fast-growing, nutritious leaf lettuce tolerates much warmer temperatures than head lettuce. Most cultivars have loose, open growth habits and leaves that range from smooth to frilly. Harvest the outer leaves of leaf lettuces, and the plants will grow new ones for later picking, or pull entire heads at once.
Lettuces sold as spring mix or mesclun mix are typically blends of several loose-leaf cultivars that are harvested when they're just a few inches tall. You can find many different combinations available from seed companies, or mix your own favorites for a signature blend. Mesclun also typically features a few spicier greens like radicchio and mustard.

Planting Lettuce
Lettuce needs a humus-rich, moisture-retentive, but well-drained soil with plenty of nitrogen.
Broadcast the seeds and rake lightly to cover them, or sow seeds ¼ inch apart and as thinly as possible in rows 1½ feet apart. A small seed packet will plant a 100-foot row and produce some 80 heads, or about 50 pounds of leaf lettuce. Germination rate is over 80 percent.
Although lettuce is primarily considered a cool-season crop, it is possible to extend the harvest with some careful planning. If you're a real lettuce lover, try the following schedule:
1. Start romaine, iceberg, or other head lettuces indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost date, making three small sowings at weekly intervals. Set out the seedlings successively as soon as the ground is workable. At the same time, direct-seed leaf lettuce outdoors at 2-week intervals. If the soil temperature is at least 35°F, germination should take place in 6 to 12 days. If you plan to harvest only outer leaves as the plants grow, or harvest the crop for spring mix or mesclun, you can sow the entire loose-leaf crop at once. Choose cold-tolerant cultivars for spring planting (you can find them individually or as a "cool-season mix" or "winter mix" of cultivars from many seed companies).

2. As the weather warms, plant heat-resistant cultivars (you can find them individually or as a "warm-season mix" of cultivars from many seed companies). If you place them in shady areas and give them adequate water, they are less likely to bolt and go to seed during hot spells. You can also cover the lettuce bed with floating row cover to shade it, but leave the ends (and, preferably, the sides) open for air circulation. If the earth is very warm, try presprouting the seeds to get better germination. Place the seeds on wet blotting paper or mix them with a little damp peat moss and perlite; store in the refrigerator for 5 days before sowing.
3. In midsummer, switch back to head or romaine types, making successive sowings—again, in shady areas—for a fall harvest that can last until frost. In milder climates, cover immature heads with cloches to prolong the harvest; in cold-winter areas, transplant a few heads into pots and let them continue growing in a greenhouse or sunny window. You can also sow cold-tolerant loose-leaf lettuces as you did in spring, keeping the bed evenly moist and shaded until outdoor temperatures cool down. If you have a cold frame or a greenhouse with an in-ground bed, you can continue sowing lettuce, extending the season even further.

Lettuce Growing Guidelines
When the seedlings have four leaves, thin head or romaine lettuce to 12 to 16 inches apart. Do the same for leaf lettuce unless you plan to harvest entire plants instead of leaves; in that case, 4-inch spacing is adequate. Thin butterheads to 3 to 5 inches apart.
Lettuce is 90 percent water and has very shallow roots, so keep the soil surface moist but not soggy. Make sure the crop gets at least 1 inch of water a week from rain or irrigation; otherwise, leaves can be thin and bitter, and the plants might bolt to seed. To help prevent disease, try to water on sunny mornings, so the leaves can dry by evening. After a good rain or watering, apply a thick layer of mulch to conserve moisture, suffocate weeds around the easily damaged roots, and keep lettuce leaves free of dirt. To promote quick growth, side-dress with compost or fish emulsion once or twice during the growing season.
Just before bolting, lettuce plants start to elongate and form a bitter sap. To keep this from happening, pinch off the top center of the plant. Pull up and discard any plant that goes to seed. If you are a seed saver, wait and save seeds from the last plants to bolt, since quickness to bolt is a bad trait. Seed savers should also be aware that different lettuce cultivars can cross with each other and with wild lettuce, so next year's plants may not come true from your saved seed.

Lettuce Growing Problems
The most likely pests are aphids, cutworms, and slugs.
Soggy soil and crowded plants can encourage bottom rot, a disease that turns lettuce plants black and foul-smelling. There are only a few varieties that are resistant to this disease, which has spores that can persist for years in the soil. If you've had problems with bottom rot, choose varieties with an upright form rather than a spreading form, and try planting your lettuce plants on 4-inch-tall ridges of soil. Be careful to avoid wetting the leaves when you water.
Gray mold makes grayish green or dark brown spots on lower leaves and is usually brought on by damp, overcast weather. Injured seedlings are particularly vulnerable. Pull up any infected plant and dispose of it far from the garden.

Harvesting Lettuce
Pick lettuce in the morning to preserve the crispness it acquires overnight. Watch your crop closely, as mature plants deteriorate quickly. To test the firmness of heading types, press down gently on lettuce hearts with the back of your hand; don't pinch them, as this can bruise the hearts. Use a sharp knife to cut heads below the lowest leaves, or pull plants out by the roots. Harvest leaf types as needed. Lettuce tastes best when eaten fresh but will keep up to 2 weeks when refrigerated.

Computational Biology is the theory, application and development of computing tools to solve problems and create hypotheses in all areas of biological sciences. Biology in the post-genome world has been and continues to be transformed from a largely laboratory-based science to one that integrates experimental and information science. Computational Biology has contributed to advances in biology by providing tools that handle datasets too large and/or complex for manual analysis. Examples of some of these tools include assembling the DNA sequence of entire genomes, gene finding algorithms, microarray expression analysis, molecular systems modeling, and biomarker discovery from mass spectra. Computational tools are central to the organization, analysis and harvesting of biological data at the level of macromolecules, cells and systems. Consequently, there is a growing need for trained professionals who understand the languages of biology and computer science. Biologists trained in more traditional programs may not have a working knowledge of statistics and algorithms, whereas computer scientists trained in more traditional programs may not have a working knowledge of the chemistry and biology required in the field.
The Bachelors of Science in Computational Biology Degree at the University of Pittsburgh, which is operated jointly by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Computer Science, offers training that builds a solid foundation in chemistry, biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics. This training will enable students to communicate fluently with experts across these disciplines, and to have the skills necessary to apply computing tools to address contemporary problems in biology and medicine. The training will enhance the professional opportunities for undergraduates to pursue careers in pure or applied research in academia, government, pharmaceutical, medical, or biotechnology sectors

There are lots of terms in the real estate world. Some of the terms are often confused with one another and it becomes difficult for the common people to distinguish one term from the other. Foreclosures, bank owned properties, short sales etc are some of those terms which need to be cleared for the common public. There is a confusion regarding bank owned properties and foreclosures. Some people think they are the same, but in reality there is a difference between them. A major distinction among them is the way in which these properties are sold.
Individuals who take loan of a certain amount of money and keep their homes as mortgages are subject to this type of real estate terms. Whenever an individual is unable to pay their loan, the lenders take up the property of the borrower and foreclose it. An auction is held for people to bid and win that property. If any person buys the property then it gets sold to him/her. If nobody buys that property then the mortgage ceases and the property becomes a bank owned property.
In case of negotiations, bank owned properties are always on the lookout for selling the properties in the same condition as they were from the time of auction. In case of foreclosures this is not the case. Thus while buying a bank owned property it is essential to keep a watch on the price as well as to get the repair work within the said price. In case of bidding for the foreclosures, a minimum bid which covers all the interest, principal amount as well as the extra expenses is to be made by the bidder. The bidder with the highest amount gets to buy the property.
When the question of legal matters arises, it is essential to get the property checked thoroughly by experienced real estate attorney. The role of the attorney is to check the documents related to the foreclosure. Bank owned properties are targeted to be sold quickly as the banks are already over laden with inventory. Generally purchases of foreclosures are more risky than the bank owned properties. In case of bank owned properties the buyer gets to sign an agreement and have eventualities but in case of foreclosures, there are no such eventualities. Foreclosures are more fruitful for investors rather than home buyers. Thus in case of buyers, it is better to get all the information before getting into the bidding.
In Bidnownwin.com, one can register in the online site and get the chance to bid for foreclosures as well as for bank owned properties. Registering in Bidnownwin.com gives the members a chance to get free bids. It is a great site to catch up the entire online auction.

Heavy F…. Metal.
In 2018, it will be 50 years from when Steppenwolf, screamed the words, "Heavy Metal Thunder" in their iconic "Born To Be Wild" song. And while the reference to "heavy metal thunder" was the loud sound of the motorbike, it seemed to stick for a style of music that was just around the corner.
But heavy metal goes back a bit further than that. You see, in the 1930's there was a guitarist called Django Reinhardt.
He was a jazz shredder who passed away in 1953, well before heavy metal became a tour de force. But to become a shredder, wasn't easy for Django. You see, a fire in the late 20's extensively burned his left hand and other areas of his body. His right leg was paralysed and his fourth and fifth fingers on his left hand were badly burned. The Doctors told him that he will never play guitar again and they wanted to cut his leg off. Django refused the surgery and within a year, learned to how walk again with the help of a cane. But his two fingers remained paralysed. So Django had to relearn how to play the guitar by using his thumb and two fingers.
Fast forward to the 60's and an unknown Birmingham guitarist tore off the tips off his middle fingers in a freak factory accident. A visit from the company foreman, alerted Tony Iommi to Reinhardt.
"It really inspired me to really get on with it, and start trying to play."
Tony Iommi VH1 in 2015.
Although Iommi's problems weren't as severe as Django, he still had to do things a bit differently. While Django had to relearn how to play the guitar from scratch using less fingers, Iommi just needed to innovate. The first innovation was the creation of the plastic finger tips. The second was the down tuning of the guitar from standard pitch to accommodate the plastic finger tips.
And while Sabbath are seen as the forefathers of heavy metal, metal in general was more than just Sabbath. It was the attitude, the rebellion, the free-spirited nature, the community and gang-like mentality. And this attitude goes back to the early 60's. In 1964, Beatles records accounted for 60% of all music sales in the U.S. according to Billboard magazine. Rock became a commercial force, priming the U.S kids for the more abrasive, distorted version of rock would enter in a few years' time.
But to understand the Beatles, you need to go back to Chuck Berry, the father of rock and roll. The Beatles covered "Rock And Roll Music" and "Roll Over Beethoven". John Lennon ripped off Chuck Berry for "Come Together".
Hell, the Beach Boys ripped "Sweet Little Sixteen" from Chuck Berry and called it "Surfin' U.S.A.".
ELO's career was jump-started when they covered "Roll Over Beethoven".
Let's not forget "Johnny B. Goode", a hit when it came out, and in 1977 the song was launched into space with the Voyager I and II spacecraft to await discovery. Chuck Berry was a metal head before metal was even around. He sang about fast cars, women and teenage rebellion. In other songs, he questioned the status quo. And since those days, metal has grown worldwide. It's the new world music. As an article in the Wall Street Journal states;
"Today's "world music" isn't Peruvian pan flutes or African talking drums. It's loud guitars, growling vocals and ultrafast "blast" beats."
The internet and mp3 sharing has spread heavy metal music to all corners of the world. Music in general was locked up, behind gates, but now we can hear every song ever recorded online, even the songs from "out of print" albums. People from oppressive countries who wouldn't normally have access to metal music suddenly had access via their fingertips. Metal music is a lifestyle. You live the way you look and look the way you live. There are no pretensions. And you can't get more metal and no bullshit than Ginger Baker, a person who inspired future metal drummers going on record detesting the style. That's exactly the free-spirit of a metaller.
"I've seen where Cream is sort of held responsible for the birth of heavy metal. Well, I would definitely go for aborting. I loathe and detest heavy metal. I think it is an abortion."
Ginger Baker – Cream

Rep. Joaquin Castro headed back to Texas on Thursday still undecided on Syria, but said he was still open to a military strike if the evidence warrants U.S. action.
Castro, a freshman Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, asked Secretary of State John Kerry this week what precedent the United States would set if it strikes Syria to punish President Bashar al-Assad for chemical gas attacks on civilians.
"We will be upholding a precedent," Kerry said. "We will be upholding the unbelievably committed global reaction to the horror of World War I, to the use of gas rampantly, and to the world's condemnation of that."
President Barack Obama has asked Congress to endorse his decision to strike Syria.
But the president faces reluctance in his own Democratic Party from members who are torn over the difficult choice.
Castro told constituents last week in San Antonio that he was open to a military strike, but said he wants to see evidence and hear out administration and Pentagon officials in classified briefings.
"That's where I stand today," Castro said during the hearing.
Castro said he understood the moral imperative to act and to prevent repeat behavior. But he said he was equally concerned with the deaths of innocents by U.S. military action and that strikes could lead to more war.
Castro said he has heard from over 1,500 people through emails, telephone calls and social media posts on a military strike on Syria.
The correspondence is running roughly 60-40 against U.S. military action.
Castro, on his Twitter account, urged others to send him their views.
"I'd like to hear your thoughts about military action against Syria for the use of chemical weapons against its people," Castro tweeted at @JoaquinCastrotx.
Castro was traveling to New Mexico for an immigrant health summit Friday and will be in San Antonio over the weekend as he weighs his decision and his future congressional vote on the issue.

Exactly what are the benefits associated with giving a child to a traditional summertime camp? Should you really decide on a summertime daytime camp or an immediate summertime camping?
Optimistic summertime time camping or right away summertime camp activities might be of tremendous advantage to your child's advancement. Whilst at the conventional summer time camp out, possibly a summer working day camp or immediately summer season camping, kids learn about themselves, figure out how to become more impartial, are required to live up to anticipations, and assist more youthful travelers.
An effective classic summertime campout plan may help raise a child's self-esteem, train them to regard some individuals, enable them to learn personal respect and also find out the patience of others. Surviving in an organizational situation, like an overnight summertime camping, travelers learn how to agree to distinctions such as race, spiritual beliefs, and social distinctions. Both forms of conventional summer season camps supply positive aspects that will help your youngsters develop and fully developed and broaden their perspectives.
Once you obtain a classic summer camp brochure, you may invariably have concerns for your camp out director concerning the camping approach as well as those of the director. From that initial telephone call and/or a trip to the world wide website, you begin building an impact of the things a particular standard summertime camp is a lot like and exactly how it's run.
A normal summer season camping can be explained in practically nothing under glowing phrases in their pamphlets. The establishment can be absolutely breathtaking.

Typically, the ratios at overnight summertime camps range from one staff member for every six hikers ages 7 and 8 one personnel for every eight outdoorsmen aged ranges 9 to 14 and one staff for every 10 travelers aged ranges 15 to 17. At time camps the proportions cover anything from one staff for each eight campers age groups 6 to 8 one employees for each and every 10 campers age groups 9 to 14 and another staff for every 12 outdoorsmen age groups 15 to 17.

When you have a story that starts out with this…
The uproar and controversy of Urban Meyer's stunning recruiting coup at Ohio State settled in and Stefon Diggs, still on the Buckeyes' wish list, was debating his future.
Diggs, the second-highest rated wide receiver in the country, had narrowed his list of potential schools to Maryland, Florida and Ohio State. For more than a week following National Signing Day on Feb. 1, and before Diggs eventually signed with Maryland, Meyer relentlessly pursued Diggs.
Multiple sources told Sporting News that Meyer—who won two national championships in six years at Florida and cemented his legacy as one of the game's greatest coaches—told the Diggs family that he wouldn't let his son go to Florida because of significant character issues in the locker room. [Emphasis added.]
… and goes downhill from there:
But multiple former players and others close to the program say the timing of his departure was also tied to the roster he left behind. Remember it was Meyer who hinted the program that won 13 games in 2006, 2008 and 2009—and lost only 10 games from 2005-09—was flawed beyond the unsuspecting eye.
Now those issues have surfaced for all to see. Left in the wake of Meyer's resignation were problems that can destroy a coaching career: drug use among players, a philosophy of preferential treatment for certain players, a sense of entitlement among all players and roster management by scholarship manipulation.
The coach who holds himself above the seedy underbelly of the game; who as an ESPN television analyst in 2011 publicly berated the ills of college football; left a program mired in the very things he has criticized.
"The program," former Florida safety Bryan Thomas said, "was out of control."
… all you can say is wow. (Meyer is probably saying something much stronger.)
I don't know what the Ohio State equivalent of Seat 37F is, but this piece is so damaging that I think Matt Hayes should consider himself extremely fortunate if that's as far as Corch banishes him. In the meantime, I expect to hear that this article is being handed out to parents on the recruiting trail like candy. It's brutal.

While I'm writing the next real blog entry, here's an update on what I'm doing, along with a little list of principles I've been trying to live by.
First – I recently appeared on one of my very favorite podcasts,The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, hosted by comedian and deep thinker Duncan Trussell. It feel amazing to have joined the ranks of Joe Rogan, Tim Heidecker, Natasha Leggero and others as a guest. Duncan and I discuss Christianity, gloryholes, the nature of time, porn, and more. It's funny and deep all at once.
I also completed a new movie – After the Heist – for Joe Gage(NSFW). I don't usually mention movies I've made on this blog, but Joe is an amazing director and writer, and has directed many mainstream films in addition to his huge porn catalogue. I shot three scenes in the movie and have tons of dialogue. I also have a moustache in the movie that makes me look like a
real sleazeball. Hurray! In related news, the last movie I shot for Joe, Dad Goes to College won me the 2012 Grabby Award for Best Supporting Actor. Which actually means something about acting skills, since the other awards are for specific sexual acts.
My essay on shooting porn with straight guys (Girth Brooks and Berke Banks, to be specific), "Gay for Pay" was selected for publication in the upcoming Best Gay Stories 2012 from Lethe Press. The second half of that essay (which I like as much or maybe even better than the first) is available on my blog.
My essay on the Occupy movement has been anthologized in a great ebook – which you can download for free – called Occupy Consciousness: Essays on the Global Insurrection. Other contributors include Russel Brand (!!!), Daniel Pinchbeck, and Doug Rushkoff.
I've got my regular gig over on Logo TV's website, NewNowNext, where I hand out sex and relationship advice as best I can – generally from a cultural or philosophical standpoint. If you have any questions for me, send me an email at connerhabibsocial at g mail dot com. In fact, feel free to contact me in general.
A new website is in the works, and lots of ideas are bouncing around. I'll keep you updated.
Finally, I've recently become way too interested in tumblr, where I started my own little image-and-quote-and-GIF-depository. It's called Conner Loves Everyone, although on the page it says "YouWillFuckConner," so I'm still having trouble with whether or not I want to fall in love with you or just get laid. Either way, the tumblr is NSFW, so proceed with caution or abandon, whichever you prefer.
The list below originally appeared on my tumblr. Of course, there are a million other things that should be on it. But the point is to start today, and fill in the rest on your own. Thanks for the love and more essays up here soon.
If you want to make the world a better place,turn yourself into someone who assholes and politicians look ridiculous next to. When you're awesome, they're exposed as absurd, stupid, outdated, and manipulative. Here's how:
1. Eat real food.
2. Read books.
3. Talk about big things instead of making small talk.
4. Don't ingest poison in the form of alcohol or drugs.
5. Dedicate your time to things you care about instead of money.
6. Meditate.
7. Meet your neighbors and be kind to them.
10. Whenever there's a fuck up, pick yourself and others up and get back to it.

Iran: No reason to stop uranium
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's nuclear chief said Sunday there are no reasons at the moment for his country to halt production of uranium enriched to 20 percent, a key demand of world powers, and Iran is planning two new reactors.
The West is concerned that the 20 percent enrichment could quickly be turned into nuclear weapons-grade material. Iran insists its nuclear development program is for peaceful purposes.
The nuclear chief, Fereidoun Abbasi, was quoted by the semiofficial Iranian Students' News Agency as saying that Iran will continue the higher enrichment level for a medical research reactor that produces isotopes for treatment of about 1 million cancer patients in Iran.
"There is no reason for us to back down on 20 percent-level enrichment, because we produce only as much 20 percent material as we need," Abbasi said. "Not more, not less."
Abbasi said Iran is planning to build at least two new nuclear power plants next to an existing facility that became operational with Russia's help last year.
Abbasi was quoted by state TV as saying Sunday that Iran is in the very early stages of planning the new 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plants and that it may begin construction within a year or two.
He also said Iran has not yet been convinced to allow the U.N. nuclear agency access to a military complex to probe suspicions that in 2003, Tehran secretly tested explosives needed to set off a nuclear bomb. The suspected blasts would have taken place inside a pressure chamber.
Abbasi's statement about enrichment echoed Iran's objections last week at a meeting with world powers in Baghdad to a proposal to suspend 20 percent enrichment in exchange for a U.S.-supported package that would include supplying Iran with radioactive material and civilian plane spare parts.
Iran seeks to have Western oil embargo and banking sanctions eased before considering suspension of 20 percent enrichment.
The six powers — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — fear the higher-enriched uranium could be quickly boosted to weapons-grade material of 95 percent.
U.S. officials have said Washington will not ease its insistence that Iran must fully halt uranium enrichment, but speculation is increasing that the priorities have shifted to block the 20 percent enrichment level while possibly allowing Iran to maintain lower-level nuclear fuel production, at least for now.
Abbasi said a visit by the International Atomic Energy Agency to Parchin military site, southeast of Tehran, will not come any time soon.
"We haven't been convinced yet [to allow an IAEA visit to Parchin]. No reasons and documents have been presented to enable us to arrange a visit to Parchin, which is a military site," he was quoted by ISNA as saying.
Iran has never said whether the alleged chamber existed, describing Parchin as a conventional military site, not a nuclear facility.
Iran previously said IAEA inspectors would be allowed to visit Parchin but that first there would have to be agreement between the two sides on guidelines for the inspection.

I received a forwarded email yesterday from someone who called herself, Dr. Something-or-other, Ph.D. I have known some people with Ph.D.'s and rarely do the credible ones have to mention it twice in their name, but I digress. I don't know the person who allegedly originated the email, but it urged a vote for Don Wagner for the vacant Third District Supervisorial seat in the upcoming special election. It alleged that the reason for voting for Don Wagner, was because he is "Pro Life".
Here is what the email doesn't mention.
The entire Republican platform says that it is "Pro Life". In spite of this, the OCGOP endorsed THREE candidates for local office last election that were adamantly Pro Choice, NOT in any way Pro-Life. I wrote about that here, and I spoke to two of the candidates. Both of them nice women, who won those local elections, but decidedly contrary to anything the Republican party purports to stand for. If this is your issue, at a minimum, the time has come to do a gut check level evaluation of what that really means, to you, to your party and to the candidates that we all vote in lock step with, because the party "endorsed" them, or because some Dr.-Ph.D. told us to.
And, while, we continue to stew in our outrage about the fact that 44 Democrats voted AGAINST Senator Ben Sase's Bill to require medical aid be given to infants born alive after a botched abortion…..why don't we ask our selves WHY it took until 2019, for such a bill to actually make it to the Senate floor. Many botched abortions have occurred in the past 46 years, NOW we realize that? Have we just learned this, or have the Republicans been asleep at the switch? While Obama was president, several times the Republican controlled congress managed to get a bill to Defund Planned Parenthood to the President's desk, only to have it vetoed. The outrage was measured and predictable. Doesn't anyone find it odd that no such bill was forwarded to the desk of President Trump, who promised to sign it?
Don Wagner, is the GOP endorsed candidate for the Supervisorial seat vacated by Todd Spitzer. Incumbent Irvine mayor, Don Wagner was just re-elected to that position on November 6, 2018. He was easily endorsed by the OCGOP, at the February meeting of the GOP, even before he was qualified as a candidate for the Third District Supervisor seat. No one seems concerned or bothered by the fact that he vacates the seat he just ran for, and will leave his city in a special election lurch, a process that can cost a city hundreds of thousands of dollars, but yay for fiscal responsibility.
Prior to being elected Mayor, Don Wagner was in the State Assembly from 2010 to 2016. While every Republican in Sacramento portends to be "Pro Life", they have managed to return to their districts every year and with the same shrug of the shoulders, declare that it is really tough in Sacramento and they just can't get anything done. What we must ask ourselves then, is what good are they, and why do we even need them. Taking up space and collecting salaries and benefits while they lament about their own ineffectiveness.
The actual votes of the Assemblymember, are irrelevant. Just as legislators do in Washington D.C., they can feign outrage and do nothing, as long as they are in the minority. They pick their issues, and negotiate on them. They can choose which "hill they will die on", so to speak. The bottom line in Sacramento, is that all of the Republicans, (save one lone woman from middle of the state) are utterly unwilling to put their limited bargaining power on the line for the unborn. If the unborn were constituents that Don Wagner and his colleagues had to face, it is easy to imagine they would make the curtailing of abortion in California a higher priority. As it stands, it is a free for all for the abortion cartel in Sacramento, because there is no incentive for anyone to make a real stand for Life.
Here are some of the victories for the abortion cartel that occurred on Don Wagner's watch while he was in Sacramento (2010 – 2016):
- AB777 – Required Pro Life medical clinics and Pregnancy Resource centers to promote and provide referrals to Abortion providers. (This legislation was so reprehensible that the Supreme Court struck it down last year, see the analysis of Nifla V. Becerra at Political Vanguard)
- AB154 – Nurse Practitioners, Midwives and Physicians Assistants can perform abortions. The purpose of this is obvious, to employ more professionals who will perform abortions because, more and more doctors are unwilling to participate in the procedure. This decline in the number of abortionists is making it difficult for the abortion cartel to expand their business, so they expand it in the way they always have, by endangering women and offering sub-par care.
- AB980 – Cloaked as a building codes revision, this law makes it easier for buildings to be converted into surgical abortion facilities by reducing the standards for plumbing and patient treatment rooms. Because abortion is a surgical procedure that produces medical waste (i.e. dead babies) and because it potentially involves a life threatening complications, there should be safety, health considerations and ability to transport a patient or for emergency personnel to obtain access to a patient. These parameters however, can become expensive for a clinic to bring a facility up to those standards. The way the California legislature responded the the Planned Parenthood sponsored bill, was the lower, rather than raise, those standards for abortion clinics. Plumbing. This bill was promoted and sponsored by Planned Parenthood as a plumbing standards legislation. Ask yourself why they are concerned about plumbing.
- SB128 Assisted Suicide – this appears to have survived it's court battle. It was passed in a "special session" in 2015 that was supposed to be dealing with budgetary issues only, this euthanasia law was pushed forward anyways. The stories that have come out about this, place the responsibility for pushing this at this inappropriate time, upon Governor Brown. It passed, was signed by the governor, and faced legal challenges shortly after. The law designed to shorten the life of people with diagnosed illnesses, seems to have survived the court process, as of 2018. Euthanasia. California is working to become a leader in killing.
For Don Wagner or any Republican legislator to call themselves "Pro Life" while they served in a State Assembly that fast tracked abortion and other anti-Life legislation in California, is disingenuous at best. The representation that he is the only "Pro Life" Third District candidate is not only untrue, because there are two other "Pro Life" Republicans in the race, but it is an unfair representation of his do nothing approach to life and abortion issues while he was in Sacramento. Having had an opportunity to stand for Life, Don Wagner chose to have a seat and not make any difference at all.
Here is a list of Assemblyman Wagner's accomplishments. The question that should be asked, is, what really, is the difference between Wagner and Loretta Sanchez?

A Statistics Canada study says gay, lesbian, bisexual and other sexual minority people are nearly three times more likely than heterosexuals to experience sexual or physical assault.
The findings published today are from a 2018 survey of based on safety in public and private places.
The survey found that nearly one million Canadians aged 15 or older identified as part of a sexual minority group, including 75,000 Canadians who identify as transgender.
Eleven per cent of LGBTQ Canadians said they had been sexually or physically assaulted in the previous 12 months, compared with four per cent of heterosexual Canadians.
The study also found that sexual minorities are much more likely than heterosexuals to report having been victimized at some point since the age of 15.
The research shows sexual minority Canadians are also more than twice as likely as heterosexuals to endure inappropriate sexual behaviour in public, at work or online.
Nearly 60 per cent said they had such an experience in the previous 12 months, compared with 22 per cent reported by heterosexuals.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Minimum-wage workers in eight states could see their paychecks grow by hundreds of dollars next year, thanks to automatic annual increases in the rates.
Colorado, Montana, Ohio, Washington and Oregon recently announced their 2012 minimum wages, which contain bumps ranging from 28 cents to 37 cents per hour. This translates into annual raises of between $582 and $770 for full-time workers at that end of the pay scale depending on where they live.
Washington workers enjoy the highest minimum wage, which will rise to $9.04, a boost of 37 cents per hour and $770 per year.
Arizona, Florida and Vermont are expected to announce the increases in their rates in coming weeks.
These states are taking action because their laws require that their minimum wages adjust annually to keep pace with inflation.
The rate increases come at a time when many Americans are seeing their incomes stagnate. For those in the middle of the pay scale, income fell to $49,445 last year, when adjusted for inflation, a level not seen since 1996, according to census figures. And over the 10-year period, their income is down 7%.
The federal minimum wage stands at $7.25, which is just over $15,000 a year for a full-time worker. That's less than the poverty rate for a family of four.
The federal rate, which is not indexed for inflation, was last increased in 2009, when it rose by 70 cents. Some 18 states, plus the District of Columbia, have higher minimum wage rates.
The automatic state increases are among the few points of upward pressure on wages, said Jen Kern, minimum wage coordinator at the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group.
"We can't afford to have workers' buying power erode when, in fact, we need spending to get the economy going," she said.
The minimum wage is taking on increased importance in this economic downturn because the jobs that are being created these days skew toward the lower end of the pay scale. Some three-quarters of minimum-wage workers are at least 20 years old and 60% are women, according to NELP, citing federal statistics.
An analysis from NELP earlier this year showed that 76% of jobs created in the first seven months of 2010 were in low- to mid-wage industries -- those earning between $8.92 to $15 an hour, well below the national average hourly wage of $22.60.
Some experts say that an important first step to getting the economy out of its slump is to boost the federal minimum wage to the $10 range. However, business groups say that could force companies to further cut back on hiring.
Lawmakers in several other states, including California, Maryland, Illinois and Massachusetts, introduced legislation this year to raise their minimum wages and add an annual cost of living adjustment, according to NELP.
An effort to increase the federal minimum wage may be launched next year, Kern said.

(CNN) – At least one Staten Island resident doesn't agree with Anthony Weiner's assertion his mayoral bid is representative of the middle class in spite of the new sexting revelations.
Weiner was confronted by the voter right after telling reporters he would likely soon stop answering questions about his previous online relationships.
Identifying herself as a Democrat and retired New York City Department of Education employee, Peg Brunda told Weiner she spent 21 years as a teacher and then nine as an assistant principal. As a city employee, "had I conducted myself in the manner in which you conducted yours, my job would have been gone," Brunda said.
Brunda continued, "I don't quite understand how you would feel you have the moral authority as the head administrator in the city to oversee employees when your standard of conduct is so much lower than the standard of conduct that's expected of us."
For his part, Weiner asked Brunda whether she would be voting for him, to which she answered with a definitive no.
Weiner did not respond directly to Brunda's assertions. "I want to let your neighbors make the decision for themselves based on all of the information that they have," he told her.
Brunda in turn told Weiner that while he is trying to get the middle class vote, the middle class "cannot conduct themselves in this manner," she said.
Polls that had put Weiner close to or even leading Democratic front-runner Christine Quinn, the City Council speaker, have not been kind since it was revealed this week that he continued sending lewd messages and photos to women he met online even after his 2011 resignation from Congress.
The latest NBC 4 New York/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey shows Weiner down 9% points from the 25%-20% lead he had over Quinn in late June. Quinn now leads Weiner 25%-16%.
To Brunda, Weiner defended his refusal to bow out of the mayor's race, saying that politicians frequently encounter individuals who don't like them or something in their background. "That's the way the process works. But that does not mean I stop running because I run into a person who respectfully asked me a question and they disagree with me," he said.
"I don't stop running. I keep plowing ahead. Because the things I care about, I care about these communities."
Most people in NY will see nothing wrong with his behavior and still vote for him anyways. I feel sorry for his friends and family. How humiliating to even know this guy. And for all the women who wanted to cash in on exposing this guy, you should all be humiliated by their family, friends, and coworkers. They want to cash in and stay anonymous? Get real.
LOL Krista Cole – I assume your referring to Mark Sanford. He was the former Governor of South Carolina, not North Carolina. It's good to know how much smarter you New Yorkers are.
Weiner is a jerk and a fool. He seems to have an addiction to sexting and he has no business running for office. I say this as a lifelong Democrat, I wouldn't vote for him for dogcatcher or town janitor, no way nohow.
Maybe he needs treatment, I don't know, but he really has a problem.
That woman is such a liar. Teacher's keep their jobs after they are caught doing practically anything. It's called the teacher's union. Just try firing a bad teacher....NEVER HAPPEN. Go Weiner !
It's time to pull out, Weiner. See if you can get your job back at CNN.
Pot, meet kettle. Democrats scream at everyone else about how "what they do is no one else's concern". I want to gay? It doesn't affect you. I want to get an abortion? It doesn't affect you. I want to be a man dressed as a woman and use the womens restroom? It doesn't concern you. I want to send messages to another person via text message? SWEET HOLY NOBODY! (because we're Democrats and God is fictional) ITS THE RIGHT AND BUSINESS OF EVERY HUMAN BEING TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THOSE TEXTS SAY!!!
Mr. Weiner would be better suited as a used car salesman or a ticket taker at a movie theater.
If Weiner were running for office in SC this would benefit his campaign.
Like most democrat politicians, he just does not get it.
This woman has some cojones! I truly respect her opinion and she makes some great points. She actually made me smile! For me...I really do not care if he is sending pics of his cojones to whomever he has, how many ever times. Bottom line, NYC voters will decide. I would still vote for him, but I do not live in NYC. Thus, all of these comments (mine included and those other than New Yorkers) are just drivel...plain and simple.
He's a creepy exhibitionist who lies about it and is so stupid that he keeps getting caught in his lies about it. Given all of that, I'm not sure how New Yorkers can take this guy seriously. I wouldn't really care about any of it if he were a private citizen. Then it would be between him and his wife and the various other women with whom he is involved. However, he is not a private citizen. He's a politician, thus his every word or deed since birth is subject to review and criticism. Plus, the mayor is the chief executive of the city. A city whose other employees could be fired for doing what he has done. I can't see voting for someone whose offenses would get him fired from other city jobs.
"I don't stop running. I keep plowing ahead. Because the things I care about, I care about these communities."
If he actually cared, he would never have run in the first place or would pull out right now. His entire conduct indicates that the thing he cares about most in the world is himself.
What an incredible arrogant liar. His wife should've left him.

Self control is the ability to say no, in the face of temptation, and to take sustained action, despite the difficulty of a given challenge. At its heart, self-control requires the ability to delay gratification. More commonly, it's called discipline, or will. Without self-control, we can't accomplish almost anything of enduring value. And we rarely pay much attention to it.
Over the past decade, I've built a company, The Energy Project, which is devoted to helping people and organizations improve sustainable performance, in large part by more systematically exercising self-control.
Over the years, we've learned that nearly everything people tend to believe about self-control is wrong. Most of us assume the only way to resist our impulses, or persevere under pressure, is to grit our teeth, furrow our brows, steel our nerves, and tough it out. Precisely the opposite is true.
Energy is the fuel for self-control. We each have one reservoir of energy to get things done. Each act that requires self-control progressively depletes this energy reservoir, whether it's when you use it to resist a piece of cake, or focus single-mindedly on a difficult problem, or stay calm when you feel provoked.
Roy Baumeister has been studying self-control for more than two decades and he has just published a terrific new book, Willpower, written with John Tierney, which summarizes his conclusions. "Self-regulation failure," Baumeister argues, "is the major social pathology of our time."
Conversely, we've found in our work that skill at self-regulation creates huge competitive advantage. There are three ways to influence it — each by better managing our energy. We can intentionally increase the energy available to us, use the energy we have more efficiently, and more regularly and intentionally renew our energy.
Eating strategically is the most fundamental way to increase the energy we have available for self-control. Eating more frequently — five to six times a day — provides us with regular doses of glucose, which is the body's primary source of energy. It serves us best to eat low-glycemic foods, such as lean proteins and complex carbohydrates, which provide a more sustaining source of energy than sugars and simple carbohydrates.
Aerobic exercise is a second way to increase energy. It which builds cardiovascular capacity and helps us to keep our core level of energy — physical — even in the face of high demand.
We can also increase our capacity for self-control by using our energy more efficiently, and spending down our reservoir less quickly.
If you use your energy at the right times, in the right ways, you spend less of it, which leaves more in your reservoir to exercise self-control. For example, it serves us best to do our most challenging work in the mornings, when our energy reserves are highest and the number of potential distractions we face are fewer.
Finally, the most undervalued way to increase self-control — and effectiveness — is to renew our energy reservoir more frequently. For example, the researcher Anders Ericcson has shown that great performers sleep as much as two hours a night more than the rest of us — at least eight hours a night on average, compared to just over six hours a night for the average American.
I nearly always get at least eight hours a night myself, but last week I attended an evening session at the US Open that ran very late, and only got five and a half hours of sleep that night. The cost was huge. It dramatically reduced my ability to focus, and left me feeling more irritable and reactive over the next two days.
Even a 20 to 30-minute nap during the midafternoon can dramatically refuel your energy reservoir, and increase both your capacity for focus and for managing your emotions during the subsequent several hours.
The irony is that the more conscious effort you expend to build new behaviors — the more you use will and discipline — the quicker you burn down your reservoir, and the more likely you are to revert to your old behaviors.
That's why the ultimate secret to self-control is to build something we call "rituals" — meaning highly precise behaviors, done at specific times, until they become automatic so they no longer drain your reservoir and undermine your capacity for self-control.
Our clients have built powerful rituals around everything from when they do their most important work, to how they respond when they feel triggered, to when they work out, to what time they turn out the light at night.
"Civilization advances," said the mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, "by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them."

Can I remark again how absolutely infuriating I find it, that the surgeons' lounge here is inside of the men's locker room? Infuriating, and humiliating by how completely everyone overlooks the fact. This is why you -me, actually; the guys don't have this problem – can never find most of the attendings, or senior residents, between cases: but the two women attendings, and the female residents, will always be found standing by the OR desk (or wandering the ICUs), because we have nowhere else particular to go.
(And please, now is not the time to discuss my theoretical inconsistencies. I might throw something. . .)

People who will not have a high credit rating typically find it's tough for them to be able to obtain extra cash whenever they will have to have it. If they have a crisis and they will have to have a little bit of more money, they'll want to make contact with a place just like BlueTrustLoans for assistance. They are able to acquire a pay day loan that lets them receive the money they will require fast and will allow them to repay it rapidly despite the fact that their credit standing is reduced.

When they may be approved, they're able to get the money quickly and pay it off with their following paycheck.

Uruk o͞o´ro͝ok [key] or Erechē´rĕk [key], ancient Sumerian city of Mesopotamia, on the Euphrates and NW of Ur (in present-day S Iraq). It is the modern Tall al Warka. Uruk, dating from the 5th millennium BC, was the largest city in S Mesopotamia and an important religious center. The sanctuaries of the goddess Inanna (who corresponds to the Babylonian Ishtar and is also called Nana or Eanna) and Anu, the sky god, date from the early 4th millennium BC The temple of Anu, known as the white temple, stood on a terrace and seems to have been a primitive form of ziggurat. Uruk was the home of Gilgamesh and is mentioned in the Bible (Gen. 10.10). There have been excavations at the site since 1912.
