What are men's rights activists so fired up about? Here are the results of our MRA goal poll.
The editors at the Good Men Project Magazine asked if I could write a piece on the top 10 issues for men's rights activists (MRAs). As I am only one man, I felt I could not speak for the rest of the community on how we prioritize issues. So I came up with 17 things we consider problems men face and set up a poll. (I would like to thank everyone who voted, especially from Men's Rights Reddit.)
It is important to note that the poll is far from perfect. It has a small sample size, and the ability to pick a single issue did not go over well with many MRAs—in their mind, the goals of the movement aren't so easily prioritized—they're all important and interconnected. That said, while this poll isn't perfect, it does, to some degree, reflect the distribution of priorities among those MRAs who participated.

This Valentine's Day falls on a weekday so a special breakfast for your family might seem impossible, but not if you follow these quick and easy tips. Armed with my heart shaped cookie cutters of varying sizes I can show my heartfelt sentiments with morning canapes which are some of the easiest and fastest things you can possibly make.
These ideas can also be easily adapted into sandwiches for the lunch boxes (children LOVE them) or appetizers for your romantic dinner for two or even include all your children to celebrate your family's love.
Here's just a sampling of the variations you can make in little more time than it takes for your toaster to pop up.
Cut your favorite brand of store-bought waffles, English muffins or sliced bread with your heart-shaped cookie cutters. Toast, and add your favorite savory or sweet toppings. If your topping is not spreadable, use your cookie cutters again!
- Sweet:
- Jelly/Jam especially red ones to keep with the Valentine theme such as strawberry, cherry, or plum;
- Sugar and cinnamon;
- Lemon curd;
- Peanut butter or peanut butter and jelly;
- Butter;
- Apple sauce or apple butter;
- Cream cheese;
- Whipped cream and red sugar sprinkles;
- Nuttela (chocolate and hazelnut spread);
- Or to be totally decadent, an ice cream Sunday with a heart waffle or two on the side.
- Savory:
- Pate or braunschweiger;
- Canadian bacon;
- Ham;
- Shredded or sliced cheese; (shredded will melt faster in your toaster over)
- Minced sun-dried tomatoes;
- Turkey;
- Pastrami or any other deli meats;
- Egg (such as scrambled or over easy, etc.)
- Roasted bell peppers (they come right out of a jar these days);
- Herb cheese spread such as Rondele or Alouette;
- Lox (smoked salmon);
- Marinated mushrooms;
- Marinated artichoke hearts.
I'm sure I missed lots of great toppings, so let us know your great ideas too.
And for the scraps left over from those heart cutouts, some very lucky dogs will love you, or you can save them for your next turkey stuffing.

{{#set:Type=Plane}}{{#set:Summary=An endless plane of floating islands of sand, modeled in the style of the elemental planes from the Book of Elements}}
Elemental Plane of Sand[edit | edit source]
The Elemental Plane of Sand resembles a Material desert on the surface. There are dunes and little-to-no rain. However, the resemblance ends there. The ground is hardly stable enough to support great amounts of plant life, and unlike Material deserts, there really isn't a nearby water source. The Plane has all kinds of sand, from microscopic grains that turn into something resembling a giant ocean of stone to areas where the sand is the size of gravel. The sand is clumped together in "islands" anywhere from a few yards to hundreds of miles wide. These float haphazardly across the skies.
Light Gravity[edit | edit source]
The Plane of Sand has light gravity; everything weighs half as much, falling damage dice are d4s, weapon ranges are doubled, unacclimated characters take -2 to Balance and Tumble checks and attack rolls, and acclimated characters gain +2 to Jump checks. The gravity is pointed downwards always and has no definable source.
Lighting[edit | edit source]
The plane is lit by a strong "sun" that forms on the underside of the desert "continents." This light is strong, hot, and dehydrating; any exposed creature takes 1d6 heat damage every minute and must drink 3x the normal amount of water. This can differ if one or more islands are As a side effect, water evaporates very quickly: it takes a gallon of water a day to evaporate. This leads to the effect of an extremely thick fog around any oasis that counters the plane's heat and dehydration effects The lighting usually goes through roughly 24-hour cycles of lightenings and darkenings, but the lights of some islands may vary, staying dark for weeks or rotating in matters of seconds. These "suns," while very bright, have little effect on the island above them, except for the curious effect it has on water that flows down through the sand; said water vaporizes and forms "fog vents" that spring up on an irregular basis near oases. These "suns" are not actually fire, and aren't hot enough to turn sand to glass.
Environment[edit | edit source]
The Plane of Sand is, in general, a sad place to be. It is only slightly less deadly than the Plane of Fire, with all the same problems excluding everything being on fire. Instead, on the Plane of Sand, everything is dry and crumbling. The rare areas that have water are closely guarded by their owners, who are usually unsure about whether their water source is infinite and want to err on the side of safety. The few permanent, infinite water sources are usually controlled by a creature or organization that doles it out in exchange for favors and vast treasures. These owners become very rich because they usually control all the wealth on their island and usually those nearby, and the Plane of Sand actually has deserts of diamonds or mithral grains or gold dust or what have you. The material of the plane also includes all sorts of Wish-economy-level currency, like vaguely defined magic dust or ground soul powder. The deserts can also be deadly, and there were more than one incident of an island desert of gunpowder blowing up.
The sands move quickly, and unlike a material desert, the ground is very unstable because of a lack of solid surface. This makes settlements look like nothing on the Material; tents with vast, wide bottoms made of strong cloth or wood (things tend to rot very quickly in the oases due to the constant fog, so must be replaced frequently). These tents are usually chained together, because without a connection the movement of the sand can pull things on top of it away from each other. These must be able to be folded and packed, because even long-term settlements will run out of water or have the island give way under them. Actual nomads are uncommon, and settlers tend to stay in one place for a while, due to the increased likelihood of a fatal accident while traveling.
Leachings and bubbles have obvious effects. A leaching to the Plane of Fire will glassify sand if it is normal sand, meld any metal sands into a huge block, and have little effect on others. A leaching to the Plane of Earth will be ground away in a matter of hours, or days if it is a particularly strong material. Connections to the Plane of Air will either form sandstorms or do nothing noticeable, while connections to the Plane of Water are the basis of many oases. Leachings from the Positive Energy Plane are bright and nourish a variety of microscopic life, while those from the Negative will usually be almost unnoticeable, except from the accelerated rot, rust, and grinding of items, along with the appearance of undead.

The Complex Properties of Advanced High-Strength SteelsMay 1, 2013
Mechanical properties of steel grades have been used for decades to determine their capacity for forming, structural utilization, in-service performance and part life. The most common properties, obtained from a tensile test, are yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), uniform elongation (UE) and total elongation (TE). Previous research has been focused on improving the consistency of these properties through improved steelmaking and processing.
During the late 1930s, researchers discovered that the rate of work hardening (n-value) contributed significantly to the stretching capacity of steel. During the '50s and '60s, research documented the broad impact of work hardening on metalforming. Many in the metalforming industry now consider n-value as a very important tensile-test property.
The n-value affects stretchability in two s. First, a high n-value restrains the onset of a localized strain gradient (Fig. 1a). The area first contacted by the punch (character lines, embossments, bends) generates high local stresses that initiate local deformation, causing the steel to work-harden and thin. If the amount of work hardening is small for each increment of deformation, the local gradient continues to grow to high levels of strain and potential failure. For each incremental increase in n-value, the amount of work hardening of deformation increases, slowing the growth of the gradients. Sufficiently high n-values can prevent the initiation of the strain gradient.
Fig. 2—A DP steel (solid line) only has a burst of early n-values, while a TRIP steel (dotted line) shows a continuously high n-value over the entire deformation range.
Second, the forming limit curve (FLC) predicts the maximum allowable strains. The height of this curve is directly proportional to the n-value (Fig. 1a). For most low-carbon steels, the decrease in n-value with increasing yield strength causes a decrease in the allowable stretch. As seen in Fig. 1a, this double response to lower n-values can rapidly cause failure at the gradient site.
Most traditional low-carbon higher-strength steels are an alloy of iron and carbon with a single-phase microstructure of ferrite. In contrast, advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) have a microstructure with phases other than ferrite. Examples include dual-phase (DP) and transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. Their design goal is increased stretchability, total elongation and energy absorption for a fixed yield or tensile strength, making them more formable.
About 10 percent of the microstructure of DP steels comprises small islands of very hard martensite that locally increase the n-value. When deformation begins, n-value is not constant; it increases and then decreases during initial straining (Fig. 2). The DP steel (solid line) has a higher n-value than the traditional high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel (dashed line) over a strain range from 2 to 7 percent. The traditional n-value measurement range (10 percent to load maximum) would not detect this early increase in n-value. The DP and HSLA steels have the same n-values.
To measure n-value for AHSS steels, the instantaneous n-values must be measured and plotted for analysis. The FLC depends on the terminal or high-strain n-value. Again, the terminal n-values (far right) are the same and laboratory testing has shown that the FLCs of the 350-MPa HSLA and 350-MPa DP steel are identical. Therefore, DP steels only have the advantage of restraining the formation of localized strain gradients (Fig. 1b). However, even this can be an important advantage for parts where severe gradients cause failure or undesirable matching thickness reductions (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3—Case study on a steel front bumper (1977) shows how a DP steel prevents the formation of two localized strain gradients.
Metallurgists have decided that if one set of martensite islands proved beneficial, creating more islands as deformation continues could be even better. Enter TRIP steels, which have a microstructure with numerous different phases. One phase, called retained austenite, provides a continuous source of martensite islands. While the initial n-value of a TRIP steel is slightly lower than that for DP steel, the TRIP steel soon creates n-values much higher than HSLA and DP steels (Fig. 2). The n-values reach nearly 0.25, which is the low side for vacuum-degassed interstitial-free (VDIF) steels, which provide more stretchability than common aluminum-killed draw-quality (AKDQ) steels. TRIP steels also provide a higher FLC (Fig. 1c) and increased total elongation.
An analogy for DP- and TRIP-steel n-values is a paycheck. DP steel is comparable to a one-time bonus check (initial higher n-value) used to pay for crushing holiday bills (strain gradients). Thereafter, each month the paycheck remains the same as it was the previous year—no extra money (higher n-values). TRIP steel is analogous to a pay raise (higher n-values) that provides extra income every month of the year, to be used for a wide range of expenses (deformation).
Therefore, one must choose the correct steel grade to help solve existing problems. MF

World News - Cameron tells Blair to go now as police investigation takes it toll
David Cameron called on Tony Blair yesterday to quit office now because of his waning authority. At the same time Labour MPs urged the police to end the cash-for-peerages inquiry & Whitehall voiced concern over the smearing of individual reputations. The behind-the-scenes anger over the leaking of details of the police investigation, including arrests, surfaced as Downing Street spoke of the unfairness suffered by those who were subjected to allegations & could not answer back. Labour MPs believe that the investigation, which is almost a year old, is causing immense damage to the party & blighting Mr Blairs last months in office. The rearrest of Lord Levy on Tue, with resulting banner headlines, prompted frustration at No 10 over the leaking of details of the investigation. An insider said: People are being smeared. We dont know who is doing it. Mr Cameron, without mentioning the inquiry, seized on Mr Blairs predicament during Prime Ministers Questions ...

National Security in the Age of Terrorism: Remarks to the Congressional Research Service Seminar for New Members
This is not a happy time for national security policy. There is the strategic ambush of Iraq to manage before it explodes into a wider war. North Korea is back to trying to get our attention, and this time it's got missiles and the bomb with which to do so. Iran is well along in replacing us as the dominant influence in the Middle East and is widely believed to be working on a nuclear deterrent to the air raids on it by Israel or us that leaders there and here are threatening. Hamas, which has never run an operation against Americans, and Hezbollah, which hasn't done so for decades, seem to be psyching themselves up to respond in kind to our violent efforts to crush them. The Taliban are making a comeback in Afghanistan, which just brought in the largest poppy harvest in history. The Venezuelans are replacing the Cubans as our adversaries in this hemisphere, and, unlike the Cubans, they've got oil and money to buy allies for their endeavor. China is rising and the dollar is declining. ...

Soldiers 'tried frantically to stop US fire'
Frantic attempts were made to call off American aircraft as they targeted a convoy of British tanks in Iraq, an inquest was told yesterday. Smoke identifying the tanks as friendly forces was sent up & tank commanders radioed air controllers, but they were told that the aircraft were being flown by rogue pilots who could not be contacted. Instead, they swooped over the convoy once more, setting tanks on fire & killing Lance Corporal of Horse Matty Hull, 25, from Windsor, Berkshire. Corporal Ashley Bell told Lance Corporal Hulls inquest, in Oxford, of his shock when the aircraft continued to bomb the tanks as they conducted a reconnaissance mission near Basra in southern Iraq, in March 2003. We started to realise this was a friendly-on-friendly & I got on to the radio, said Corporal Bell. I asked for a Stop stop stop, check fire, at which everyone in our forces is supposed to stop firing. But he said that he got no response & the aircraft attacked again...

Powerful yet weak - a US dilemma Thinktank reports on messy 'nonpolar' world and urges new psychological warfare
The United States is still powerful enough to shape an agenda for international activity but too weak to implement it globally as it faces uncertain prospects in Iraq, an escalating confrontation over Iran's nuclear ambitions and a robust challenge to its military hegemony from an increasingly assertive China, argues a new report by a leading UK thinktank. An annual survey of the international military scene produces a picture of a messy "nonpolar" world rather than the "unipolar" or "multipolar" world often described as having emerged since the late 1980s, said John Chipman, director-general of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Others, whether rival states or key "non-state actors", such as Lebanon's Hizbullah, are now "strong enough to resist an American agenda but too weak to shape an internationally attractive alternative or to implement an enduring local agenda free of outside influence", he suggested. ...

Mexicans protest as tortilla crisis hurts Calderon
Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched through Mexico's capital on Wednesday night to protest at a surge in tortilla prices that has put new President Felipe Calderon under intense pressure.Soaring U.S. demand for ethanol has sent corn prices to their highest level in a decade, pulling up prices of Mexico's national food staple. Protesters held up ears of corn and complained that Calderon, a conservative accused by his leftist rival of stealing last July's presidential election, was failing to protect them against foreign market forces. "Calderon isn't just a thief, he's a murderer because he wants us to die of hunger," Elvira Acevedo, 62, said at the march. ...

Senator Wants VA to Explain Events Before Ex-Marine's Suicide
An Iraq war veteran committed suicide after his family said he was turned away from two VA hospitals, and now a U.S. senator has asked for a probe into the hospitals' actions. U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, a Hawaii Democrat and chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, also wants to know what the Department of Veterans Affairs is doing to prevent tragedies similar to Jonathan Schulze's. "I am concerned that reports of VA's failure to respond to Mr. Schulze's request for help may indicate systemic problems in VA's capacity to identify, monitor, and treat veterans who are suicidal," Akaka wrote in a Jan. 29 letter to Dr. Michael J. Kussman, the acting undersecretary for health with the VA. Schulze, 25, of New Prague, Minn., told a staff member at a VA hospital in St. Cloud two weeks ago that he was thinking of killing himself and asked to be admitted, Jim and Marianne Schulze, his father and stepmother, have said....

Apple-Azing Race: "The Complete idiots guide to working out with a partner" by Aimee Labrecque Challenge
We are now going to move on from the 'Animal Farm' Challenge to "The Complete Idiots Guide to Working Out with a Partner" Challenge.
All photo's on this blog post were taken by Michelle Cross Photography. Michelle did a fantastic job shooting each event so I'll be able 'illustrate' each challenge for you! If you want to order any photo's from the race follow these instructions:

Each challenge was named after a book to follow along with the fact that we were raising money for the Poynette Area Public Library. I'm going to blog about each challenge – the clue to find the challenge, the challenge itself and exactly what each team had to do at each challenge.
When teams finished up at Creek Bed Country Farmacy they were given their next clue:
"The Complete idiots guide to working out with a partner" by Aimee Labrecque Challenge Clue
Tires, blueberry bushes and monkey bars – find your way to your next obstacle of a challenge.
Decide on 2 team members that will participate in this challenge.
This clue was given to them with a little apple key chain attached which hopefully made the teams realize the needed to come back to the apple orchard – specifically the playground area at the orchard.
Once they arrived back to the orchard, they headed to the tractor tire playground where they received their challenge:

***Penalties will be given out for mistakes made, obstacles missed, or incomplete tasks per the discretion of the challenge judge.
Two members of your team will complete the obstacle course. We will average the two times to give you your overall time for the event.
1st – Make your way through EVERY upright tire in the tractor tire playground
2nd – Go heel to toe the entire length of the balance beam – both directions
3rd – Step in the middle of each tire along the path.
4th – Time to monkey around – do the monkey bars without your feet touching the ground.
5th – Climb up the climbing wall on the jungle gym and down the yellow bars on the other side. (60 second penalty if you don't do it)
6th – run back to where you started the race balancing the wooden egg on a spoon.
Blow your whistle to indicate you are finished with your leg of the Obstacle Course. Partner repeats the tasks listed above. Your times will be averaged.
I'm going to share with you the top 10 teams through this challenge – times were determined with penalties included and then averaged between the two team members that participated.
First: 2 Bad Apples
Second: Can U Dig It?
Third: Beauties and the Beasts
Fourth: The Apples
Fifth: Apple-Azing Pie and Ice Cream Team
Sixth: The Girls Next Door
Seventh: Poodle Puppies
Eighth: Sassy Pants
Ninth: 2 Chicks & A Compass
Tenth: Galloping Gimps
This was a 'Subway Challenge' so Team '2 Bad Apples' needs to come in and claim their free 6" sub courtesy of our local Subway!

On a conscious level, the Mercedes–Benz SLS AMG is a cynical marketing ploy designed to milk the memory of Mercedes's 1950s motorsport achievements. But listen to one at full throttle in a tunnel and all is forgiven. The SLS AMG makes the most viscerally wonderful supercar noise since Ferrari invented Ferraris.
I walk to work. My 30-minute commute takes me across the 1150-ft tunnel below Budapest's Castle Hill, designed in 1853 by the Scottish engineer Adam Clark. It's not a bad place to listen to cars, but while I may have heards Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and NSX's in there over the years, the first time I was literally stopped dead in my tracks was when an SLS AMG entered the tunnel.
The big deal about its noise is that it's the first modern supercar I'm aware of whose noise is not an homage to Ferraris. Take the Audi R8. It's a stylistic and mechanical marvel too good for this world, and it's magical in every way, but the noise has no truly original character: it's a well-executed vespid Ferrari scream.
On the other hand, the SLS is, for lack of a better word, a monster. What makes the noise hard to appreciate online, and what's taken me two years to write this post after Lewis Hamilton and Dr. Z first showed the car at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, is that the noise is mostly an interplay of deep registers, which doesn't reproduce very well on the earphones and laptop speakers where 99% of non-real noise reaches us these days. It's a guttural, complex, frightening growl with a hint of Corvette C6.R at Le Mans. The first thing that came to mind, standing slack-jawed in the tunnel, was that this is what AMG's famous Red Pig must have sounded like at Spa in 1971. Downshifts come with proper booms more at home with open-piped race cars. The proper term, I believe, would be cracklesnortpopboom.
A few days later, I heard another one, this time without the acoustic aid of Clark's tunnel. It was puttering along at 20 mph in second gear, and it sounded no less vicious.
What we've got here is an entirely original take on what a supercar should sound like. It must be a bit ridiculous to feel a deep, sad longing for a Mercedes under the age of 60, but I'm afraid that's just what I felt when I waved goodbye to both Benz and tunnel. Go find one and ask the owner to make it cracklesnortpopboom. You will never listen to a Ferrari the same way again.

Economy Will Implode-Jim Willie…"I believe, instead, we're going to get large widespread cut-off of supply chains"
By Greg Hunter
Dr. Jim Willie of GoldenJackass.com says powerful forces around the globe are working to do away with trading in U.S. dollars because of massive money printing by the Fed. Dr. Willie says, "The world makes a reaction, and what they have done is create, slowly but surely, a U.S. dollar alternative for trade." Dr. Willie's sources say precious metals will be used to back a new currency and predicts, "The gold price will be $7,500 to $8,000, and silver will be between $150 and $250 per ounce." This will be a disaster for U.S. Treasuries, and Jim Willie says, "All these Treasury Bonds will be sent back to the United States where they can choke U.S. bankers . . . they cannot refuse them." Dr. Willie predicts "the economy will implode," and he says, "I don't believe we're going to see garden variety powerful inflation. I believe, instead, we're going to get large widespread cut-off of supply chains" as foreigners simply stop accepting the dollar. As far as dollar assets inside the U.S., expect widespread confiscation. Dr. Willie contends, "When the losses from the debt write-downs come, I see tremendous national wealth lost because private accounts are really just bank assets." Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Jim Willie, Editor of the Hat Trick Letter.

Today's IT leaders have to balance the often-competing demands of delivering greater flexibility, availability and responsiveness to change, with the need to manage costs. To that end, trends and technologies such as cloud computing and understanding the value of big data are becoming more prevalent.
Although the cloud continues to be a major buzzword in the IT industry, big data is closely followed behind. The prospect of accumulating, mining and using vast quantities of information to make better decisions, improve customer service and gain an advantage over rival firms is a big driver for businesses, of all sizes, to implement a big data strategy. With IDC forecasting the big data market to expand at a compound annual growth rate of more than 31 per cent by 2016, it is important that businesses understand that to unlock the true potential of big data, they need to implement a cloud strategy first.
So how does a cloud strategy and big data work together? First of all, new computing models are increasingly being seen as the key to big data infrastructure. Cloud computing can provide organisations with new platforms to manage the rapidly growing sets of data and support the compute power to process it all into tangible and insightful information. The cloud has the ability to add great value to how we store data, with Gartner predicting a third of all content to be in the cloud in just four years.
Without access to cloud computing, analysis of data would only be a dream for most organisations, as the high computing power systems are extremely expensive to run. Cloud computing together with big data creates powerful value and insight that helps businesses innovate. This symbiotic approach to big data and the cloud is one recipe that will ensure companies can build momentum in their space and stay ahead of their competitors.
Big data has become a major driver of IT spending and pushing organisations to realise the business benefits of cloud. Companies that harness the intelligence of big data and act on it accordingly can expect to gain a significant competitive edge. It is also provides organisations with the information that could potentially drive innovation and better ways of working. Similarly failing to act on this information can lead to missed opportunities.
