In the First Age of RuneScape, the Gods created the world. They created life and land, and they brought in sentient beings from another world to populate their own. When the world was finished, the Gods fell into a deep slumber.
In the Second Age, other gods appeared, and these deities interacted with the prehistoric peoples of Gielinor, raising them up and assisting in the creation of civilization. This age lasted for two thousand years.
The Third Age saw dispute and conflict between the gods, old and new. For four thousand years, great gods and beings fought across the land. Humans and the other civilized races could do nothing but cling to survival. Finally, the three great old Gods formed a pact to step away from the world, maintaining influence only through their followers.
The Fourth Age was one of rebuilding and conflict, as the sentient races fought for resources and control. Humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, gnomes and other races vie for the land and the resources necessary to survive. This would have continued to this very day if not for the discovery of rune essence. Rune essence allowed normal humans to learn magic, and thus began the age of man.
The Fifth Age is the modern day. Humanity has grown dominant and expands throughout the world, building great cities and sprawling civilizations. The greatest of wizards were betrayed and destroyed, and humanity recoiled to their cities to stabilize. The year is now 169 of the Fifth Age. Threats assail humanity from all sides. What will you do to ensure the continuation of the great human civilization?
RuneScape is a free to play MMO with a wide range of features available to paying members. It is, at its heart, a massive online role-playing game, and it takes the genre literally. You are free to play as the typical warrior, questing to defeat monsters and earn treasures. You're just as free to spend your time as a humble trader, mining for ore and playing the market for a profit.
RuneScape is one of the oldest games in the genre to still be massively popular. Before even World of Warcraft, RuneScape was enthralling millions. Part of the secret to its success is the complete lack of installation. The game runs entirely in the web browser, with all relevant data stored on remote servers. You are free to log in anywhere, at any time, and your data will be waiting for you.
RuneScape isn't an action game. Combat involves clicking a player or monster to attack and letting your comparative stats and equipment fight it out. There is an element of strategy, more than action, with the combat system. Everything else in the game is equally slow paced, making it a game you invest significant time into. You truly work for your progress, in a satisfying way.
The character creation screen is almost entirely cosmetic. You select a gender and appearance, with a wide range of customization options available. Once you've created the look of your avatar, you select a name. That's it! Your character is ready to go. There are no classes or character archetypes to choose from. Instead, there are 25 different skills to use and level up. There are no restrictions on which skills you can level up at any given time, save for the fact that some of them are for paying members only. Any paying member can rank all 25 skills up to level 99, if the invest the time.
Free Skills - These skills are available to any player.
Attack. This skill is required for many weapons, and grants your weapons a higher accuracy. This means your melee attacks hit more often, resulting in a higher damage per minute.
Strength. This skill is also required for many weapons, and it makes each of your attacks hit harder. More damage per attack is essential for melee focused characters.
Defense. This skill is required for many armors. IT decreases the chance of being hit, but does not decrease damage from attacks. Stronger armor, however, decreases damage more. Being hit less often is essential to survival.
Ranged. This is the necessary skill for using projectile weapons for ranged combat, such as bows, throwing knives and other weapons. Melee, ranged and magic form a combat triangle of effectiveness.
Prayer. This skill allows the player to pray for certain buffs in combat, such as stat boosts or temporary sanctuary from attacks. It also has a number of tertiary side effects, including the ability to wear priestly robes.
Magic. This is the essential skill for magical combat, as well as other useful spells like teleportation and enchantments. It functions as a combination of Attack, Strength and Defense for magical attacks.
Constitution. This skill is leveled up as combat skills level, and it grants more hit points to your player. Absolutely necessary to survive higher level encounters.
Crafting. This general all-purpose skill allows you to create everything from armor to pottery to jewelry. Many players focus their characters around crafting and the related skills.
Mining. You are able to mine ores and gemstones from certain rocks, which are useful for crafting and smithing. One of the essential money-making skills.
Smithing. This skill allows you to turn ores into bars, and turn bars into weapons, armor and other items you might be able to use or sell.
Fishing. This skill allows you to fish. You can sell fish, or cook and eat them for healing.
Cooking. This skill requires a cookfire and food to cook, but you are able to create food to heal yourself.
Firemaking. A self-explanatory skill, you are able to start fires, light lanterns and perform other such actions.
Woodcutting. You can cut down trees to obtain logs for use or sale, as well as create canoes with this skill.
Runecrafting. Runes are essential for magic use and for using special altars around the world. They are also essential for magical talismans or staffs. Runecrafting is a general magic skill that is essential to many characters.
Dungeoneering. This unique skill allows players to delve the depths of various dungeons around the world, which gets you special weapons and treasures. In free play, it only considers free skills, while paid players take advantage of all skills in the dungeons.
Paid Skills - These skills are only available to paying members.
Agility. This skill increases energy regeneration, and allows various movement shortcuts to be used. Some special items require agility, and the skill enhances other skills. For example, fishermen can pull in more than one fish per line with agility.
Herblore. This skill allows you to create potions with various useful effects, from skill boosts to protection from dragonfire.
Thieving. This skill allows the player to open locked doors, steal from chests and raid market stalls. It cannot be used on other players.
Fletching. This skill is a crafting skill, allowing you to make arrows, darts and other ranged ammunition.
Slayer. This skill enables certain useful combat tricks, allowing you to kill monsters in unique ways. Sometimes this allows rare drops to appear. It also has an effect in minigames.
Farming. Farming is the source of many of the herbs necessary for herblore.
Construction. This skill allows a player to construct a house and furnishings, which gives them their own special instanced area. Houses have a variety of useful features for any player.
Hunter. This skill allows you to set traps, track animals and skin them for hides and treasures. Some animals can even be used as weapons.
Summoning. This kill lets you summon pets and familiars to hold items and fight for you.
What to Do in RuneScape?
The main goals in RuneScape are to level up your skills and to put those skills to use. You can set your own goals. If you want to become one of the best players in potion-making or crafting, you can do so. If you want to raid high level dungeons with maxed combat skills, you can do that as well. You can spend your days making money from your crafting to become the richest person around. You can also attack other players for fun and profit. The choice is entirely yours.
You are perfectly capable of playing the game solo -- in fact, many people log on only for a few minutes at a time and never do anything that involves other players. The meat of the game, however, comes from social interaction.
The heart of the crafting systems, for example, requires other players to purchase your items from you. Whether you're mining and selling the raw materials, or you're fishing and selling the fish, you need buyers who will pay more than the vendors will. Some players can even play the market entirely without ever investing in a crafting skill themselves.
For raiding dungeons, a party of powerful warriors with different combat specializations are necessary. If you focus entirely on magic and come up against a boss that resists spells, you would be well advised to have a physical fighter on your side. These sorts of fights are common occurrences in high-level areas.
Player versus player combat is available as well, and for some low level areas, it is a deathtrap to step outside the city walls. Duels can be created and sanctioned, or players can prey upon those weaker than themselves. RuneScape took a lot of heat for their PvP system in the early days, but it has improved a great deal since then.
Why is RuneScape so Popular?
Many players like RuneScape for two main reasons. First, there is an immense wealth of things to do in the game. Players can spend months or years working on their skills, building their characters just how they want to. It can be incredibly immersive, not to mention rewarding when you accomplish your goals.
The second major factor is how easy the game is to play. There is no download, no installation and very little in the way of system requirements. You simply register, log in and play.
RuneScape is in a constant state of improvement, as well. Players of World of Warcraft have to wait for expansions, and buy them before they get significant new content. RuneScape players see constant content updates for free. This has been going on for over a decade, and the early game looks nothing like the game currently available.
In 2013, Jagex launched a huge update to the game called Runescape 3. The graphics, sound, and user interface were all improved in a significant way all the while still playable in a web browser.
RuneScape is a browser based MMO. Much like a Facebook game, it can be played anywhere a computer can access the Internet. While a machine from 1991 with MS-DOS might not be able to play it, no modern machine -- PC or Mac -- will have any trouble.
RuneScape is a sorely limited game for free users, but it is still playable. As seen above, the core skills are available to every player. Many of the pay skills are enhancements to the game. Likewise, paid players gain other enhancements.
RuneScape is one of the oldest MMOs still running today, and it is immensely popular for a reason. It is very addicting and offers a lot to do, even though it tends to withhold much of that for paid members. Millions of active players after over a decade means the game must be doing something right.

Once a sleepy second fiddle to Southern culinary powerhouses like Charleston and Nashville, Greenville is stepping into the limelight with hot new restaurants. The town will soon be home to an outpost of Sean Brock's heirloom-crop-focused Husk and a food-centric market hall called the Commons. Other recent additions include modern Italian spot Jianna from Michael Kramer (the opening executive chef of McCrady's in Charleston, pre-Brock) and the moody speakeasy lounge Vault & Vator. It's an impressive collection of quality restaurants for a city of just over 67,000.
It's one of the world's great wine capitals, and like any great vintage, Mendoza is only getting better with age. Start your tasting tour in the Uco Valley, where Casa de Uco's vineyard-view eco-villas will debut this year. Head down the road to to Vines of Mendoza's Winemakers' Village for small-production wines from the likes of Corazón del Sol and SuperUco, and to dine at winery Bodega Monteviejo, where renowned Spanish chef Nadia Harón cooks up Mediterranean-tinged fare inspired by the wines. In Maipú, wineries like Club Tapiz and Trapiche are giving visitors a true taste of the local terroir, using produce grown on the vineyard grounds in their restaurants. Back in town, plot your return trip over a pie at Francis Mallman's year-old pizzeria, Orégano. With new direct flights from Lima, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and low-cost carrier Norwegian Air plotting dozens of new routes, tacking a Mendoza stop on to your next South American itinerary will be a breeze. —Sorrel Moseley-Williams
Vincent Ingram (Traveler 001) recounts his arrival in the 21st century to his therapist, Dr. Perrow. Vincent's arrival was meant to be the first test of projecting human consciousness through time and he was intended to die in the fall of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, so as not to affect the timeline – but soon after arrival, he went off-mission and into hiding from the Director. Meanwhile, Mac and his team are being interrogated by the FBI about the Quantum Frame and its purpose, while David deals with the aftermath of the assassination attempt on his life.
Oceanic islands are islands that do not sit on continental shelves. The vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean.[11] The few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface. Examples are Saint Peter and Paul Rocks in the Atlantic Ocean and Macquarie Island in the Pacific.
Three high-ranking Travelers are sent back by the Director to put Grace on trial for violating protocols, overwriting a person who was not assigned to be her host, and sabotaging the Grand Plan. Mac and the team must give testimony at the trial that will determine if she should be overwritten or not. Meanwhile, the Faction is trying to replenish its numbers by overwriting people with the stored minds in the Quantum Frame. It transpires the trial was staged by the Director to flush out a Faction member from within the three Travelers judging Grace, which it successfully does, this leading to Mac's team securing the Quantum Frame.

Yes, I've said it. I'm already prepping for Christmas.
I've decided that this year, instead of knitting gifts, I'll be giving the majority of recipients edibles. It's nice to change things up a bit.
So, what you see above, is the orange peel getting a nice syrup bath. The recipe says not to let the mixture burn, so I kind of obsessively hovered over it. And in the process gave myself an orange-scented steam facial.
The peel bits are now drying out before I dip them in sugar. If they taste as nice as they smell, they'll definitely be a gift option.
So, Krisi and I have decided that now that we both live in London, we should try to meet up more often than once every 2-3 months. Which is still more than what it used to be (once every six years or so!). With that in mind, she is also on a mission to find the best raspberry tart. We've agreed to meet up once a month to try new patisseries. It's a win-win; I get to see one of my longest known friends and I get to eat cake. We also think that eating cake more than once month, while tasty, won't be thanked by our waistlines and we seem to have fairly busy social calendars (how did that happen?! I'm a homebody, I'm used to staying in all the time…), so once a month is perfect.
The baked cheesecake was nice. Nothing special, but nice. Not heavy, had a hint of citrus in it.
The tart, according to Krisi, was decent. She liked having fresh raspberries on top, but the crust was a bit dry and hard. She was also sensible and got a small mochaccino. No sleeping issues for her!
And these two tarts were from the Patisserie Valerie on Old Compton St. Really big, so you felt like you were getting your money's worth. And this time I made sure to have a decaf latte since I had to be up early the next morning!
I liked the strawberry tart I had, but it got to be really sweet fairly quickly. I think it probably would've been better without the glaze on top. Krisi felt the same about her raspberry tart. Crust was decent, filling was okay. A mix of the two tarts so far would be ideal.
And dance! Which I did on my walk home on Friday night.
I love going to the theatre. And now that I live in London? I actually get to go!
My friend Krisi and I went to see Top Hat to celebrate her birthday. She'd found a deal through LastMinute.com (I think that's what she said) where we could get a 2 course meal and a ticket to Top Hat for just £24.
Sure, our seats were up in the nosebleed section because come on, at that price, we weren't going to get great seats. But that didn't stop us from thoroughly enjoying the show. The dancing, the songs, the actual story… all of it was fabulous.
I highly recommend seeing it if you ever get the chance. The show is leaving London to go on tour in 2014-2015, so you've got until this Saturday to go see it if you want to see at Aldwych Theatre.
Can you tell I like horror?
I went to the library today. I specifically went to get Let The Right One In since it's the book club pick for November, but when I saw The Woman in Black, I grabbed that too. I've seen the play, but haven't read it. Nor seen the movie. The play was fabulous, so I'm really hoping that the book's good too.
The only thing that's dampening my enjoyment of it so far (yes, I already started it, couldn't help myself!) is that a previous patron has obviously used it in an assignment of sorts. There are tons of bits underlined in pencil (at least it's not in pen?) and little notes in the margins. I'm trying not to be distracted by them all, but it's not easy. I'm nosy and want to see what this person has to say about the story. But I want to read the story without outside influences first. And they've folded down the corners of the pages too! Someone clearly doesn't respect library books.
Since my current projects (socks and a blanket) aren't inspiring me too much, I decided to cast on another cowl. It's the stranded version of one of my designs (a double-knit cowl) that hasn't been released yet. I really should get to work on writing up the pattern and getting it tested, huh? I procrastinate way too much.
Anyway, when I picked out the colours for this, I had the recipient in mind. She looks fabulous in orange. But it wasn't until I actually cast on and started knitting that it occurred to me: the dark grey and orange? Totally Halloween-ish. At least it's not black! And they do look really nice together, so hopefully she won't mind.
In an attempt to blog more often, I'm trying a different approach. I'm going to think of my posts as mini-postcards of my life.
So! I went to Belgium last weekend to visit my sister. She took me to the market on Sunday morning where we had breakfast before doing her weekly grocery shop. The mint tea was deliciously sweet; the galettes had smooth goat's cheese and honey inside. Since they were spread onto the freshly cooked dough, the melted goodness dribbled down our hands as we finished them off. Definitely worth a visit. So jealous she gets to do it every week!
I have the best friends. Look at what was waiting for me in the mail box!

Q: My coworker and I were trying to solve a problem -- we both tried two different things at once that only worked because of the other's attempt Each solution to the problem we were trying to solve would have independently failed. We were each trying many different solutions at the same time. We each happened to try a solution that worked, but only because the other had tried a complimentary solution.
Is there a word, phrase, idiom, or analogy that describes such a solution?
An example: It's like if we had a whole bunch of light switches and were flipping each of them on and off to see if it controlled the light we were trying to turn on. Unbeknownst to us, the light needed two specific switches to be turned on. Had we been trying independently, we'd have flipped one on, seen no reaction, then flipped it off. However, we happened to each flip one of the two correct switches at the same time, causing the light to turn on. We then each thought we had found the correct one switch, but in further experimentation we realized that the light had needed both of us to switch on the two switches at the same time.
It was an interesting (and probably very lucky) event. I've been trying to come up with a word or phrase to describe it, but I am only getting generalizations like it was 'serendipitous' or it was like we had built two halves of a bridge.

A: Synergistic inadvertent catalytic relationship.
synergy, noun:

the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

inadvertent, adjective:

not resulting from or achieved through deliberate planning.

catalyst, noun

a person or thing that precipitates an event.

All sources are from Google and the phrase appears verbatim in a book (note however, therein Synergistic is a column header).

A: You could broadly call this teamwork:

cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons
  acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause.

but a word that you used in the question (albeit misspelled)
provides a more specific description of what happened:
the other person's actions complemented yours:

complement:
noun
  1. something that completes or makes perfect
verb (transitive)
  12. to complete; form a complement to

or your actions and the other person's were complementary:

1.  Forming or serving as a complement; completing
  2.  Offsetting mutual deficiencies or enhancing mutual strengths

A: "Many hands make light work." may be used to mean that doing a task is easier if more people do it together (e.g. you and your coworker) than if one person does it alone.
"Two heads are better than one." may be used to mean that, if there's a task to be done, having two people work on it together is better than one person working on it alone. (The saying has more scope -- e.g. it may be used to advise someone to get advice or an opinion from a second person.)

The Rotary Centennial Park was constructed by the Rotary Club of Barstow in recognition of Barstow's Centennial year, 1986. 2005 was Rotary International's 100th anniversary. As part of its centennial celebration, Rotary International challenged each club to accomplish a centennial project during that landmark year. The Barstow Club constructed a community gateway sign at its Centennial Park, to welcome visitors to Barstow.
This is an ex-Italian M47, and the Italian flag and other markings can be seen through the paint. Its rebuild plate is missing from the hull rear but its mounting plate remains. There is a triangular US Armor style insignia visible on one of the hull rear access plates. (Source: C_Sherman). The insignia is that of the National Training Center at Fort Irwin (source: J. Daneri) which is located about fifty miles north-east of Barstow. This is one of three M47 tanks that Fort Irwin previously had on display, the others had serial numbers 1022 and 1560 (source: J.

Home Arts and Entertainment Former Fireman Creates Art For Cancer Patients
Former Fireman Creates Art For Cancer Patients
Kathy Collins
By Kathy L. Collins
For 25 years, Rodney Brammer, Jr. saved lives as a fireman using his strength, intelligence and experience. Now retired, he is still saving lives but in a much different way. Brammer creates art on napkins. He calls his enterprise "Rodney's Napkin Art For Causes."
Brammer creates fun and intricate images of tropical fish on napkins. He takes the creations and makes coloring books for children. Brammer said, "Even though I had been a firefighter working with kids and adults for over 25 years, it was not until I saw a scene in the burn ward from the movie Shallow Hal that the idea came to me clear as a bell. With the help of some friends, and Lou at FNBR printing I was able to get the first coloring book printed."
"It was early 2006 when I started drawing fish in and out of restaurants. My first fish was on a brown paper table cloth in a restaurant. Our dinner guest asked if she could keep it. At that point I did not know why I was drawing them; I just love to draw and this was an outlet," Brammer said.
Brammer has distributed his coloring books to children at the Children's Cancer Center through the One Voice Foundation, at the VA's Wounded Warrior's Clinic and is in talks to distribute them at the Shriner's Hospital.
"My goal is to put the coloring books in the hands of as many children in recovery as I can to help them escape, if only for a short while," said Brammer.
Brammer puts his fish on T-shirts to help fund his project. The shirts are available at etsy.com/shop/Rodneysnapkinart.
By visiting the Facebook page: Rodney's Napkin Art For Causes, individuals can see all of the fish drawings that are in the current Fantasy Fish coloring book as well as those in volume II. Both of these books are available for children in recovery, and Brammer is working on a coloring book to sell.

King Records now a city landmark
Council vote deters plan to demolish portion of building that fostered the careers of James Brown, other musicians.
King Records now a city landmark Council vote deters plan to demolish portion of building that fostered the careers of James Brown, other musicians. Check out this story on cincinnati.com: http://cin.ci/1RsP0Vp

Already considered a treasure in the eyes of musicians around the world, the former King Records complex is now a historic landmark in Cincinnati.
City Council unanimously voted Wednesday to change the zoning at 1532-1540 Brewster Ave. in Evanston, making it more difficult to obtain permission to demolish the structure. The buildings served as the record studio's headquarters between 1943 and 1971.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unveiled a city-funded historic marker in 2008 to honor the work of King Records.
Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation and the Bootsy Collins Foundation applied for the historic designation. Supporters see an opportunity to connect the King Records studio redevelopment to a larger initiative to create a new museum and memorial space for King Records, a recording studio and visual arts studio.
Located just west of Montgomery Road and north of Interstate 71, King Records now has two different land owners. One property is vacant and a second serves as a warehouse. Dynamic Industries owns the vacant property and it sought a demolition permit June 25 as part of its expansion plans.
City officials say the proposed parks levy, which Cincinnati voters will consider on the November ballot, could support the acquisition and stabilization of property for King Records' renewal. The levy could bring an estimated $2 million to the project and $125,000 of annual operating support, according to estimates released by levy supporters in June.
Mayor John Cranley said Wednesday his administration is working to acquire the King Records property in good faith. Cranley, recalling his days on City Council, said King Records preservation efforts date back to 2008 after council approved a motion to work toward designating the properties as historic. The motion, he said, was approved prior to the owner purchasing the property and the buyer should have known the designation could eventually happen.
"We're only following through on a commitment made prior to the current ownership," Cranley said during the council meeting.
CINCINNATI.COM
Supporters: King Records deserves landmark status
King Records, which was founded by Syd Nathan, became one of the nation's most influential independent labels in the 1940s and 1950s. At its peak, the racially integrated label employed more than 400 people and was the nation's sixth-largest record company. King Records had a diverse catalog of artists including James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Ike Turner, Hank Ballard, Otis Redding, John Lee Hooker and LaVern Baker.
During the meeting, Councilman Wendell Young said he grew up near King Records and listened to some of the artists who found a home at the studio. He recalled finding old vinyl records, "45s" and "78s," in the trash and believes the community would regret losing a piece of its history if the property were demolished.
"Very often as a kid, I saw many of these artists and I took them for granted," Young said. "If you live around it, you don't often appreciate it until something drastic happens."

What's Your Number? is een Amerikaanse romantische komedie uit 2011 geregisseerd door Mark Mylod en met Anna Faris in de hoofdrol. De film is gebaseerd op het boek 20 Times a Lady van Karin Bosnak. What's Your Number? werd opgenomen in de stad Boston met een budget van rond de vijftien miljoen euro. De film haalde in een periode van twee maanden zo'n tien miljoen euro op aan de Amerikaanse bioscoopkassa's. Wereldwijd bracht hij zo'n 22 miljoen euro op; ondanks de negatieve kritieken. Rotten Tomatoes beoordeelt de film met 23%, Metacritic met 35% en IMDB met 58%.

Verhaal

Dertiger Ally leest in een tijdschrift dat vrouwen die meer dan twintig sekspartners hebben waarschijnlijk nooit de ware vinden en komt tot de constatatie dat ze er zelf al negentien had — haar nummer. Dan loopt ze een van haar ex-vriendjes tegen het lijf, die inmiddels vermagerde en een goede baan heeft. Ze bedenkt dat al haar exen intussen verbeterd kunnen zijn en besluit ze op te zoeken om te zien of een van hen toch niet de ware is voor haar. De nacht nadien gaat ze echter naar bed met de man die haar net had ontslagen en komt zo aan twintig. Wanhopig schuimt ze het internet af, maar ze slaagt er niet in haar exen terug te vinden.

Ondertussen slijt haar buurman Colin het ene meisje na het andere en verbergt zich 's ochtends in haar appartement tot ze vertrekken. Ally vraagt hem in ruil haar exen op te sporen waarop zij hen opzoekt. Ze blijken echter allen een gezin te hebben, homoseksueel te zijn of nog dezelfde nietsnut als vroeger te zijn. Ally's oog is gevallen op de steenrijke Jake, maar Colin kan zijn adres niet vinden.

Colin is inmiddels zelf verliefd geworden op Ally en houdt Jake's adres daarom achter. Als ze daarbij uitkomt zet ze hem buiten, zoekt Jake op en neemt hem mee naar het huwelijk van haar zus. Daar realiseert ze zich dat Jake helemaal niet bij haar past en dat ze eigenlijk ook verliefd is op Colin. Ze gaat naar hem toe, maakt het goed met hem en aanvaardt dat hij nummer eenentwintig is. Ze krijgt een telefoontje van een ex-liefje die zegt dat ze helemaal niet met elkaar geslapen hebben omdat ze te dronken was, en dus is Colin toch nog nummer twintig.

smart thinking about sex, intimacy, and life in a body

DID YOU SEE: "When Did Porn Become Sex Ed?" in the New York Times
Peggy Orenstein has written very well for many years about the issues confronting young women in American culture. An excerpt from her new book, Girls and Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape, was published in the Sunday New York Times today that directly addresses the question "When Did Porn Become Sex Ed?" While much has been written and discussed about the impact of pornography on how young men learn about and practice sex, not so much has been said about the same subject as it applies to young women.
A passage that stood out for me:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fewer than half of high schools and only a fifth of middle schools teach all 16 components the agency recommends as essential to sex education. Only 23 states mandate sex ed at all; 13 require it to be medically accurate.
Even the most comprehensive classes generally stick with a woman's internal parts: uteruses, fallopian tubes, ovaries. Those classic diagrams of a woman's reproductive system, the ones shaped like the head of a steer, blur into a gray Y between the legs, as if the vulva and the labia, let alone the clitoris, don't exist. And whereas males' puberty is often characterized in terms of erections, ejaculation and the emergence of a near-unstoppable sex drive, females' is defined by periods. And the possibility of unwanted pregnancy. When do we explain the miraculous nuances of their anatomy? When do we address exploration, self-knowledge?
No wonder that according to the largest survey on American sexual behavior conducted in decades, published in 2010 in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers at Indiana University found only about a third of girls between 14 and 17 reported masturbating regularly and fewer than half have even tried once. When I asked about the subject, girls would tell me, "I have a boyfriend to do that," though, in addition to placing their pleasure in someone else's hands, few had ever climaxed with a partner.
Boys, meanwhile, used masturbating on their own as a reason girls should perform oral sex, which was typically not reciprocated. As one of a group of college sophomores informed me, "Guys will say, 'A hand job is a man job, a blow job is yo' job.' " The other women nodded their heads in agreement.
I love that Orenstein is calling attention to the discrepancy between the sex education that schools offer kids and what porn teaches them. And I love that enlightened sex educators like Carol Queen, who co-founded the women's sex-toy emporium Good Vibrations in San Francisco, take it as their mission to teach people not just about sex but about pleasure. Her newly published The Sex and Pleasure Book, co-written with Shar Rednour, is a valuable resource for anyone's sexual health bookshelf alongside Erika Moen's web comic (collected into two book-length volumes so far) Oh Joy, Sex Toy.

MEDIA: Presidential penis size
I'm as amused as anyone else by College Humor's new video, "Donald Trump: Show Us Your Penis." But I'd like to shift the conversation a little bit, out of compassion for my small-dick bros, who die inside a little bit every time they hear jokes about little dicks.
For the record, Trump never said, "I have a big dick." He said, "I guarantee you, there's no problem." You can read that any number of ways. Perhaps he would like you to read it as, "I have a big dick." He could also be saying, "No one's ever made any complaints. My junk works."
In any case, I'd like to go easy about equating "small dick" with "problem." Mostly because "small dick" is entirely relative, and the ubiquity of porn (in which no one has a dick that is not big and hard) has oppressed legions of men into fearing that they are somehow inadequate because they don't have a porn-star dick.
Not that Madonna speaks for all women or all connoisseurs of cock, but when I interviewed her for The Advocate in 1991 at the time of Truth or Dare, we had a playful conversation about her sex partners, in which she modeled the proper attitude for any sensible sex-positive person who has sex with men:
How do you feel about dildos?
I'm not really interested in dildos.
How about sex toys of any kind?
No. I like the human body. I like flesh. I like things that are living and breathing. And a finger will do just fine. I've never owned a vibrator, if that's what you want to know.
Tell me about your boyfriend Tony Ward. Is it true he has an ass you can serve drinks off of?
Well, I've never been served a drink off his ass. But he does have a great ass.
How big is his dick?
I don't know. I haven't measured it, but it's big enough for me.
Does size matter to you?
Do you used a strap-on with Tony?
No. I don't know where that story came from….
Tell me about Warren Beatty. How big is his dick?
Once again, I haven't measured it, but it's a perfectly wonderful size.
As for Donald Trump, I don't care about his penis. Nobody cares about his penis. The problem with him is that he's a racist demagogue and a pathological egomaniac who isn't qualified to lead anything other than his own demented reality TV show. If you need concrete documentation of any of that, here's the video you need to watch.

Giants Set to Battle Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football
Scott Rogust
Eli Manning (Giants.com)
The New York Giants face a tough challenge as they walk into Minnesota to play the undefeated Vikings on Monday Night Football.
Coming off a tough divisional loss to the Washington Redskins, the Giants have to focus on playing one of the best teams in football after three weeks of the season. Even with the loss of star players Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson due to injury, the Vikings don't seem to be having issues. The offense is clicking with newly acquired quarterback Sam Bradford and wide receiver Stefon Diggs is etching his name as one of the best wide receivers of the game statistically. Bradford was traded to the Vikings from the Eagles at the end of the preseason due to losing Bridgewater to a torn ACL and dislocated knee. Bradford is putting up decent numbers, throwing for 457 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions through two games with the Vikings. Diggs has 20 receptions for 325 yards and one touchdown through the first three games of the season.
"Tremendous player, up and coming player…," said Giants Head Coach Ben McAdoo of Diggs. "…he's playing with a lot of confidence right now. We're going to have to be aware of where he is on the field at all times. It's a nice combination with him and [Kyle] Rudolph."
The Giants secondary has been banged up coming out of last week's game against the Redskins. Corners Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Eli Apple are both out of Monday night's game. The "next man up" mantra is going strong in practice this entire week.
"When you can trust and rely on guys on the edge there, that can get things done that you need in this league, it gives you a lot of versatility inside and makes everyone else better, so we will miss them," said Giants Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo of Rodgers-Cromartie and Apple. "We need to get somebody else to step up in there and hopefully they can get healthy quick."
However, while the Vikings offense is good, their defense is even better. Minnesota's defense has been stifling against their opponents this season. Opponents against the Vikings defense have only score three touchdowns through the first three games of the season, also forcing five interceptions.
"They have a good defense," said Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon. "They've been taking the ball away a lot these past few games. We have to step our game up and try and match them."
The Giants offense needs to step up their game against the tough Vikings defense. The offensive statistics show that each core player are putting up the numbers necessary to win games. However, they failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities.
"I think, obviously, we're getting down there, we just have to find a way…" said Giants QB Eli Manning. "…the turnovers hurt, the penalties hurt. So we have to find ways to stay in a good rhythm and good down distance and not have negative plays."
"We have to come out and execute our game plan," said Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. "I don't think we have to do anything out of the ordinary. I think we have to do the ordinary things extraordinarily well. We just have to come out, everything that we practice right now we have to do it above and beyond."
The Giants skilled trio of wide receivers are showing that they can be a force to be reckoned with. The yardage is there, but the scoring has not showed up to its full potential.
"We haven't had that game where we all click and everyone is playing and everyone is looking and everything looks good on all cylinders," said wide receiver Victor Cruz. "I don't think we have had that game just yet, but I think we are close, I think we are getting there…"
One of the key storylines out of last week's matchup with the Redskins was the outburst that Beckham had on the sidelines. McAdoo has gone on record to say that Beckham needs to keep his emotions in check and "avoid being a distraction."
"I'm in a great place right now mentally, physically and spiritually," said Beckham. "There's not really much that bothers me at all, to be honest. I'm going to go out and play football the only way I know how to play. Try my best to be the best teammate that I possivly can be."
With Beckham's emotions coming under scrutiny, an interesting Instagram post was made by Beckham. A video was posted with a side by side of Giants great Lawrence Taylor and Beckham himself showing their emotions on the sidelines and on the field. Regardless, the concentration this week is on Minnesota.
Not only are there key injuries on the defensive side of the ball, but also on the offensive side. Running back Rashad Jennings is a game time decision with an injured thumb. Jennings has shown the ability to burst through the trenches and sprint downfield. They have also lost Shane Vereen to a torn triceps and has been placed on injured reserve. Orleans Darkwa and Bobby Rainey are each expected to see a significant increase in snaps. Darkwa made his presence felt last week, running for 53 yards on ten attempts and a touchdown. Rainey caught one reception for 24 yards last week. Needless to say, the number of snaps between them will be effected by whether Jennings will even play this Monday.
Monday night will be crucial for the Giants. After losing last week, they fall to a tie for second place in the division with the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams are behind the surprising Philadelphia Eagles, with rookie quarterback Carson Wentz leading the team to victories with his impressive performance. Vikings are a tough challenge for the Giants, but the Giants have the offensive skill to put up dangerous stats on every defense in the league. With more game experience, the Giants high potential offense should be in full effect soon, possibly on Monday. Stay tuned, Giants fans.

Left to right: Randall Newell and Sean Garcia. Harwich Police Dept. booking photos.
HARWICH - Harwich police officers were called to a duplex on Guilford Drive in Harwich Center early Tuesday morning for a reported breaking and entering in progress. Upon arrival at the home around midnight, officers found the door to the upper level apartment of a duplex kicked in.
According to police and court reports, the officers heard a loud conversation between two males at a nearby apartment. There they located two men suspected in the breaking and entering of the first apartment, Sean Garcia, 31, of Harwich, and Randall Newell, 24, of Yarmouth.
Garcia was arrested and taken into custody on four outstanding warrants. Newell, who is no stranger to local law enforcement, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a large capacity firearm without a permit, defacing a serial number on a firearm, breaking and entering, possession of ammunition without a permit and malicious destruction of property.
The two were transported to the Harwich Police Station, booked and held until their arraignment on Tuesday, police said.
Randall Newell is currently being held pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for March 2. Newell has been convicted in the past on both illegal firearms and drug trafficking charges, according to police.
A Barnstable County Sheriff's Office K9 Unit assisted with the arrest, police said.

On 6-29-16 at about 0330 hours an Officer on patrol in the area of Riverbank Park observed a large snake on the riverbank in the area of Speirs Street. The snake was eating a large mammal, possibly a beaver (not joking). A second officer arrived and they both watched it swim across the river to the Brown Street side of the Presumpscot River where it disappeared in the thick underbrush. They estimated its length to be at least 10 feet. WPD contacted the Maine Warden Service and they expect that the snake will remain dormant for a few days because it just ate a substantial meal. The snake has been dubbed "Wessie" or the "Presumpscot Python" by locals. We ask the public to be mindful of the snake's presence in the area and immediately report any sightings so we can remove the animal from the river.
No northern US snake gets that big. Snakes that size are native to tropical areas. The news of a possible escaped Burmese python set the town abuzz. This article noted that local businesses hoped it would be a draw, a clear case of crypto-tourism. After a week with no additional sightings confirmed, the Mayor said she called in an "expert" but declined to elaborate. Many local people were already looking for it. The article mentioned that "a local cryptozoologist and herpetologist group" had volunteered to help.
It was news to me that back in 1985, the US Army commissioned an analysis of certain techniques that were proposed to enhance human performance. The Army Research Institute asked the National Academies to form a committee to examine these questionable strategies. The report is available here where you can read it for free.
The following is my takeaway from this curious report.
The committee looked at the relevant scientific literature and unpublished documents; each sub committee reported on their findings. Personal experiences and testimonials were not regarded as an acceptable alternative to scientific evidence, even though, as they note, people may hold them with a high level of conviction.
The study was prompted by military people who may have been well respected and felt these phenomena had military potential, as learning and communication tools, or as threats or aids to defense. For example, random number generators (RNGs) were used to test for the ability of micro PK (psychokinesis). Those with this ability were said to be able to mentally bias the machine to produce non-random numbers. Ideally such power could be used to affect enemy equipment.
Some types of enhancements examined are not that well-known to me or in my realm of interest: learning during sleep (concluded no evidence but a second look is warranted), accelerated learning (found little scientific evidence, but more investigation is needed), guided imagery, biofeedback, split brain effects, stress management, cohesion, influence, and parapsychology. ("The committee finds no scientific justification from research conducted over a period of 130 for the existence of parapsychological phenomena." Therefore, the Army should drop it.) It was this last section, a subcommittee chaired by Ray Hyman, that was my focus.
I found the entire report to be readable and rather interesting and wondered why I hadn't come across it before. If anything, the appendix of key terms at the end is extraordinarily useful.
The parapsychology section included examination of extraordinary mental abilities – remote viewing, micro PK, and the Ganzfeld technique for enhancing telepathy. I was familiar with the claims for remote viewing and Hyman's critique of the Ganzfeld. I was interested in the state of parapsychology, having examined it through the Hyman/Honorton exchanges, therefore, this report added to my knowledge. I also knew of the academically-framed lab work of Jahn. Here in one place is a science-based committee fairly assessing ALL the evidence of these alleged paranormal powers. They concluded that none of it had merit and the military gave up on efforts to incorporate these techniques.
The committee concluded that after 15 years of research, the case for remote viewing was very weak, virtually nonexistent. There were certainly claims by some researcher of a clear effect but these claims were exaggerated. Two research programs – Helmut Schmidt and Robert Jahn (PEAR) made up 60% of the experiments that had been conducted. Their results revealed a small departure from chance. A tiny effect is enhanced by the volume of studies that were incorporated. The report notes Jahn did 78 million trials! The more studies that show a tiny effect end up looking statistically significant when grouped together. But regardless, the effects were extremely weak. The parapsychology committee argues that most influential positive effect in Jahn's massive database is the result of testing one person. This is not a robust set of data.
In science, anomalies have a definition – they are a precise and specifiable departure from a well-defined expectation. In parapsychology, however, anomalies mean everything. They are vague and undefined – anything that looks odd is considered. With this wiggly definition, any one anomaly can have an infinite variety of possible causes, not all the same. That's not particularly useful.
Because parapsychologists do not have a theory to explain the anomalies, there is no way to show that the anomaly of one experiment is the same as the anomaly in another. Without a theory to hang the data on, we do not have a coherent class of phenomena. Arguments are made that "There's something there." Perhaps there is. Odds are, it's not something paranormal, it's an artifact of the testing.
Then there is Cleve Backster who experimented on plants, testing them with a polygraph. His astonishing work on plant responses was popular in the press and appeared to be influential. People believed his study was scientifically solid. But it wasn't. It was not repeatable with controls. The questionableness of his work never got out to the wider audiences. The idea of "bioenergetic fields" as discovered by Backster, was put forth as part of the explanation for dowsing, energy healing and remote viewing. The idea of plant telepathy and special perception is still supported by New Age purveyors. The Backster idea was something certain people WANTED to believe in.
The dirty test tube critique was used by Hyman to criticize the Ganzfeld results. (And also the basis of Jim Alcock's critique regarding remote viewing).
Honorton eventually agreed with Hyman that the Ganzfeld experiments were not of optimal design, but insisted that didn't affect results. If the scientific methods are not appropriate, error creeps in, the results are unreliable. In the conclusions of the parapsychology section, the committee determined that what they found, the research methods and results, were too weak to establish the existence of paranormal phenomena. Thus, it was recommended that such techniques were not worthy of investment.
Yet, you will regularly encounter those who INSIST remote viewing works and has been successfully used. And there are those who insist parapsychology is/was successfully used by the military, and will eventually breakthrough and show all of us naysayers. I doubt it. It's been a very long time, there's been plenty of opportunity, but they've produced nothing convincing. If the military discarded the idea that the mind can be used as any sort of extrasensory tool or weapon, that clearly signals it's not worth academic efforts to pursue either.
The highly anticipated paper from B. Skyes regarding DNA testing of anomalous primates has been published and is, thankfully, freely accessible.
In 2012, the team from University of Oxford and the Museum of Zoology, Lausanne, put out a call for samples of suspected anomalous primates – Yeti, Bigfoot/Sasquatch, Almasty, orang pendek. The samples, if accepted, would be genetically tested using a cleaning method previously vetted in the Journal of Forensic Science that removes all traces of surface contaminants (most likely human) to get to the original DNA sequence. A specific portion of the DNA was used – the ribosomal mitochondrial DNA 12S fragment – for comparison to sequences in the worldwide genetic database GenBank.
A total of 57 samples were received. Two samples were actually not animal hair: one was plant material, the other was glass fiber. Those not trained in biology/zoology cannot always tell the difference between organic and inorganic matter or plant vs animal fibers, as we'd also seen from hunters collecting samples on the Spike TV show Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty.
37 of the sample were selected for genetic analysis. 18 were from 8 U.S. states, including pairs from AZ, CA, MN, OR, TX. The rest were from WA, what is believed to be the prime habitat of Bigfoot/Sasquatch. 8 samples were anticipated to be the almasty from Russia. Three samples were collected in the Himalayan region of Asia and one came from Sumatra supposedly representing the orang pendek.
Let's see what the results were.
Unfortunately, there were no anomalous primates in the lot. The sequences all matched 100%, there were no "unknowns".
One was found to be human – from Texas. That only one matched with humans is a testament to the rigorous cleaning method that removed contamination. Sykes revealed his thinking about Melba Ketchum's paper by noting that human contamination often "confounds the analysis of old material and may lead to misinterpretation of a sample as human or even as an unlikely and unknown human x mammalian hybrid" (Ketchum, et al.). Therefore, her claim of rigorous forensic procedures is shot down, again. Incidentally, Sykes et al. does not consider Ketchum's paper as a "scientific publication" likely because it was self-published. The Sykes et al. study is regarded as the FIRST serious study regarding anomalous primate DNA – he cites two others that were joke papers. Recall that Ketchum cited these in her paper as genuine, revealing her professional ineptness. While the Sykes, et al. paper lists Ketchum as a reference, it is only to cite it as a poor study, not within the valid body of scientific literature, with misinterpreted results. [Burn.] The quality difference between the two papers is remarkable. The Sykes paper is readable and understandable with minimal jargon and a clear presentation of the data and conclusions. Ketchum's paper was gobbledygook and, with this new commentary on it, albeit subtle, is another death-blow to any further serious scientific consideration.
All the U.S. samples turned out to be extant (already existing in that area) animals such as cow, horse, black bear, dog/wolf, sheep, raccoon, porcupine, or deer. There very clearly was nothing anomalous at all.
All the Russian samples, at least some of which were collected by Ketchum associate Igor Burtsev, also were disappointing. There were two anomalies, however. Samples of raccoon and American black bear were among the Russian samples indicating either a mistake in the location of the samples or individuals of these animals were imported to Russia at some point and their samples left behind.
Sadly, the orang pendek sample from Sumatra turned out to be from a Malaysian Tapir. This is not the first time tapirs have faked evidence for a Bigfoot creature. But I suspect this sample was very disappointing since the orang pendek is considered to be a plausible cryptid – likely a new species of primate. However, this test failed to provide support for that idea.
The Nepal sample turned out to be a native goat, a serow. However, the other two Himalayan samples were the most interesting of all.
Not one but two samples, those from Ladakh, India and Bhutan, matched a fossilized genetic sample of Ursus martimus, a polar bear of the Pleistocene era, 40,000 years old. Note: TWO samples! There was not a match with the modern species of polar bear. Thus, the study has discovered a new anomaly! This result is a boon to bear studies. Future research will continue to look for more evidence of the representative animal, hopefully a living one. The paper is clear, as was the documentary on this discovered which aired months ago, this previously unknown hybrid bear may contribute to the yeti legend. The look and behavior are reportedly different from the other native bears. Is the Yeti a bear? Well, the yeti is a very general term and its description varies across the huge expanse of the world where it is reported to exist. Even the orang pendek, more akin to an orang utan, is sometimes referred to as a "yeti". Therefore, the "yeti" is likely not just one animal. It is feasible that this new bear constitutes one version of the yeti. Sykes has been open in stating that it does not mean a primate Yeti is not out there. It just means this result was not supportive of that idea.
The main thrust of this paper hits the gut of cryptozoology. As it is practiced today by amateur Bigfoot hunters and monster trackers, it is not science. This paper represents science. It's a high bar. I've said as much before. To do science requires very specific training. One result of the Ketchum fiasco and the Sykes "success" has been to educate cryptid hunters about genetics and reliable tests that can give them the results they desire. This project was an excellent example of amateurs working with professionals – exactly what needs to be done to make real discoveries and come up with better answers than "It's a squatch".
Now, the modern field of cryptozoology has been put on notice. You need to raise the standards; you need to stop wasting effort. Blurry pictures or another FLIR recording of a warm blob is not going to constitute worthwhile evidence. We best learn about nature through a scientific process. That means amateurs must work WITH the experts, not rail against them.
I was very pleased with the results of the Sykes, et al. study. I look forward to his book release on this topic as well.
Here is something to keep in mind when listening to EVERY PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR EVER (it seems) who is telling you his favorite "It happened to me" story. They will insert the phrase "I used to be a skeptic" in order to elevate the believability of their story. It's a ploy they use without even knowing, in order to make themselves appear more credible.
This may seem obvious but a new study has come out to demonstrate this in quantitative terms with experimental evidence.
"Avowal of prior skepticism (APS)" – a narrative device designed to enhance the credibility of the narrator and meant to increase the likelihood that the listener will attribute the event to a paranormal cause. The technique "At first I was skeptical" is followed by a description of a potentially paranormal occurrence and then admission of conversion to belief.
People will use this technique in conversation in order to show he is a normally rational person, not prone to silly ideas. It bolsters the source credibility which is really important if you are trying to influence the listener. It also is a way to be more potentially dramatic in a story. It's a clue that something rather unbelievable is coming up and you should pay attention.
"Stake inoculation" – a way that the narrator addresses in advance an expected counter argument.
APS is a form of state inoculation since one of the obvious arguments against a person providing a questionable claim regards their believability and credibility. They don't want you to think they are a gullible fool.
Sheep-goat – the divide between "believers" (sheep, suggesting followers) and "skeptics"(goats, suggesting stubborn rejection). I prefer to use advocates versus counter-advocates. It's less inflammatory. Also, I didn't know that was a real thing people understood but I must have heard it a dozen times the past few months with regards to psychical research.
The study showed that if you admitted you were a sheep before telling your amazing story, it wasn't very convincing. People possibly saw you as overly-credulous. But if you preface the claim by saying you are a goat, people are more impressed and more likely to buy your amazing claim. UNLESS… they know you are doing this on purpose. When people knew of the strategy, they were likely to notice and see it as an attempt at manipulation. Being aware of this APS ploy is at least a little guard against how the narrative attempts to sway you. You may be more likely to focus on the evidence, not the flowery details designed to pull you in. When someone says "I was skeptical," YOU should be more skeptical.
Narratives are more persuasive than dry statistics or scientific messages because they carry value and emotion in the social act of communication. But narratives, we also call them anecdotes, are one person's interpretation. They are unreliable for accuracy. Yet, it's how we get most of our knowledge every day. We rely on what people tell us. HOW they tell affects what we believe.
A few other tidbits were notable in this study.
– Anna Stone coauthored An Anomalistic Psychology with Professor Chris French. I love the concept of this branch of psychology – to examine people's strange experiences without presuming a paranormal cause. It's a (big) step above parapsychology and I think the way this field is going. It certainly has the promise of progress, there is no house of cards being supported.
– Women are still seen to be more gullible and less credible than men. Is this an old stereotype still hanging on? It's worrisome to see that. I suggest skeptical woman provide more examples of why that's not true.
– It may not be education level that is a predictor of belief in the paranormal but cognitive performance. The author notes that students who are more analytical in their thinking are more prone to skepticism and thus a lower level of belief. Are we born with skeptical minds? Or are they made? I argue they CAN be made if guided early.
– Finally, there was mention of peer pressure. You are less likely to express doubt if everyone else is on board. But, your expression of doubt can trigger the same in others! So stand up after that talk and express your doubts and ask the tough questions. The appearance of consensus can be influential to the person still sitting on the metaphorical fence. Once a belief is established, it's REALLY hard to dislodge. So, it's far better to prevent it from taking root.
The world is a noisy place these days. Strange sounds abound.
The paranormal/Fortean media outlets were abuzz about the strange sounds from the sky starting in the summer of 2011. These "sky noises" are anomalous sounds that appear to be emanating from above, and do not sound like your everyday planes, trains or automobiles (so people say). Things quieted down for a while but now, they are back. Yes, it's summer and that means that strange stories flood the local news. Yet, people really are hearing these noises.
Is it thunder, fireworks, earthquake sounds? Could it be HAARP, the magnetic poles shifting, the earth moaning cause, you know, it's old and stuff…? Obviously, it's horns from heaven, heralding the Apocalypse… Or alien spacecraft. Or Bigfoot. Or, maybe it's just the normal noises around here.
Thanks to the media coverage (which is typically terrible), mystery-mongering websites and forums, and people who believe the world may really be coming to end, some people are freaking out over these events. You shouldn't freak out. I'll show you why. But first, some background.
I follow a lot of sources for news stories for Doubtful News including some more paranormally-minded or, should I say, unskeptical sources. I'm always interested to see what kinds of stories are circulating in that community and they are often the first to spot the bizarre ones.
I use information from those stories to promote critical thinking about them. I think it's harmful to spread inaccuracies so I wish to provide the skeptical, rational view.
Every day, I scour the Internet for news. Not just any news. Weird news. What bizarre thing was seen, heard, or found today?
This interest in the unexplained, mysterious, and Fortean is a perpetual thing for me. The first books I ever recall picking out as favorites were about ghosts, monsters, and UFOs. But the qualification for my interest was that I cared about them only because I thought they might be real.
I began a website to highlight these paranormal and anomalous news stories. While there are a lot of strange news feeds and news aggregators that do this, mine is different. I didn't just want to share these stories so you can pass them along your virtual circles. I wanted to discuss these stories. What about them was true? What was missing? Why did people latch onto certain ones and enthusiastically share them with everyone they knew, even if they were almost certainly hoaxes or exaggerations? One of my goals was for my website to show up in online searches for these topics so perhaps interested readers would stumble upon a more thoughtful analysis than what was found in comment sections after the news stories or on Internet forums.

NASA Unveiling Instruments for 2020 Mars Rover Thursday: How to Watch Live
A sketch of the design for NASA's 2020 Mars rover, which will be based heavily on the agency's Curiosity rover. Agency officials will announce the 2020 rover's science instruments on July 31, 2014.

NASA will reveal the science instruments that will be aboard its next Mars rover on Thursday (July 31), and you can follow along live online.
Space agency officials will unveil the science gear they've chosen for the rover, which will launch toward the Red Planet in 2020, on Thursday at 12 p.m. EDT (1600 GMT). You can watch the announcement live here at Space.com, courtesy of NASA TV.
Participating in Thursday's press conference are:
— John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the NASA Science Mission Directorate (and a former astronaut)
— Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for the NASA Human Exploration and Operations Directorate
— Michael Meyer, lead scientist, NASA's Mars Exploration Program
— Ellen Stofan, NASA chief scientist
The body of the 2020 Mars rover will be based heavily on NASA's Curiosity rover, which has been exploring the Red Planet since August 2012. Curiosity has already determined that an area near its landing site was capable of supporting microbial life billions of years ago.
NASA officials have said they want the 2020 rover to search for signs of past Mars life and collect soil and rock samples for eventual return to Earth, where scientists can study them in detail. The six-wheeled robot should also advance the agency's goal of putting boots on the Red Planet someday, by assessing resources that could support a manned outpost as well as look into the risks future Mars explorers may face.
The space agency received 58 instrument proposals for the 2020 rover during its call for submissions, which opened in September and ran through Jan. 15. For reference, Curiosity is outfitted with 10 different science instruments.

So, you all know that I am a domain name collector. And I always have big plans for each one! Well, this time I actually did it! I used the domain name that I purchased! Now, let me tell you why.
When I started blogging, it was as a mommy blogger just before my son was born. The tagline for my blog was 'a working mom, learning how to be a working mom' and the it was all about my new life as a working mom. I stopped blogging for about three years, when I took on a new and challenging job, and then when I started again, I went back to my old ways with a blog called Momma Bear Life. After struggling to write my first post, and then even after publishing a few, I didn't really feel like I was writing what I wanted to write.
So I changed domain names from Momma Bear Life to Ani Kay. And this was an amazing change. It was super liberating, and honestly helped me establish my blogging identity in a way that I was really comfortable with.
But recently, I've been wanting to write things that I didn't actually think fit into what I set out to write on Ani Kay. I realized I had stuck myself in this box again, and it was curbing my creativity. So, I changed my name once again, and now it feels like I took off those size six pants, that I no longer fit into, and traded them up for a size ten, which is slightly bigger than I need but comfortable enough to wear out.
I'm working through all of the technical stuff now. So far, I've had to create a new Facebook page because Facebook wouldn't allow me to change my page name. Which is crazy because people do it all the time. And I even did it once before on that exact account. But, oh well. So if you liked my page before, and would like to keep liking it, you can check it out here: All That Life Stuff. I've also updated my Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter! but those platforms were way nicer and let me just change my name as opposed to starting a whole new page.
And as always, thank you so much for reading and following my crazy adventures! Writing is fun and fulfilling, but having readers and meaningful conversation, is the best thing there is! I hope you will continue to read on, and I promise I'll only change the name of this blog about three or four more times 🙂 That being said, if you follow me on Bloglovin' or Feedly, you'll need to update the feed. Did I tell you that I love you?
So when this came up in my Bloglovin' feed, I was like, UMMM WHO IS THIS AND WHY DID I FOLLOW. Then I clicked and saw it was you and was like, PRETTY SNEAKY SIS!
Oh, and I love you too.
Yeah, I just learned that I could do that! I had a site before AK and didn't know how to transfer folks over and then it was like, oh wow there is a super simple way to do that! Technology sometimes, amiright?!
NICE! I know you've wanted to write more than you have and I'm so happy you found one that fit. Can't wait to read more!
Thank you!! It already feels better. Now it's just a matter of making the time to get it done!
