Dear Mother - and the other chief mourners,
From the first Sunday of Advent is an extra mawkish bisexual blog where I try to overcome the lack of loved ones near by to share with you my Christmas preparations. Anyone who wants is welcome, but I warn that there could be some über-spirited sometimes.

Funny Things To Write About Wedding Night
Dream of HIV vaccine.
A study has shown a small but statistically significant, effect of a combined vaccine against HIV, reports CNN.
In a study of 16,000 participants, which are assessed to be at high risk of coming into contact with HIV, the group receiving the vaccine proved to have a slightly less risk of contracting the virus. 9 of 1000 in the placebo group received HIV during the study period, compared with 6.5 in 1000 in the vaccine group. Such small differences is surely nothing to get excited over? Well, actually:
dream of a vaccine against HIV have more or less written off as just a dream: the virus's ability to change his appearance so that the antibodies do not recognize it nah Is it pops up (damn simplified) have done that research on HIV almost given up the idea to develop a vaccine. Therefore, they are - very modest - the numbers on this study are still interesting. They show that the concept is not impossible. The principle is plausible. That it may be worth the money to continue along that path.
If we take the numbers on the so-called face value - outright, as well - so it suggests a possible third more likely to refuse HIV for vaccinated. Now let no man deceive you by the words "third" - it sounds a lot, but remember the actual figures. Of the 16.000 has only 125 people had HIV during the study making it difficult to know how many people are exposed to HIV during the time period and of course it is impossible to know how many people "would" have had HIV during that time. We can be cautiously optimistic but not to write it too much importance.
But let us play with the idea. If the numbers corresponded to reality? About one third respond to the vaccine? In countries like Botswana and South Africa was third make a big difference, both in the acute situation and for the future. The third part in turn would _not_ infect others. A third would make a big, big difference.
That study is now given a cautiously optimistic result is funnily enough a problem for further study. From now on it is unethical to compare the vaccine to placebo IOM that we thought he saw an advantage in being vaccinated. (I say vaccine, to put it simply, it is in fact a combination of multiple vaccines given as a series.) So what do you say maybe - what does it matter? Well, people who ingåri a study tend to change their behavior, to be more aware of protecting themselves and their health, thus showing placebo if the difference is even when everyone believes he has a chance to have received the vaccine.
So - a cautious "maybe Hooray" for the combo vaccine. I hope that the next stage - so far it has been safely and without dangerous side effects - will be to test it in high-risk areas. With high vaccination rate was also a small effect make a big difference. We cross our fingers and hope.
Keep the dream alive.

How To Connect A Car Stereo In A Garage
No, I am of course not. But my latest strategy to fend off stress and anxiety can be summed up Photoshop. Anyone who found me on Facebook can look at my decks with some friends fejor and St. Trinian's-uniforms. I have created a small group of "Alumni" where people who have accepted that I may Larva me with an of their profile pictures are pasted in different St. Trinian's context. Pretty fun. However, I will - with reference to the PDA does not show the pictures here. It is still their own Faces like.
But I have my full permission to post pictures of me, so here is the latest:
It's the girl in the picture who has written message.
Yes, so much fun you can have. A Photoshopbuff snorts understand about my little games, but I do not care, because I have fun.

Blood In Spit From Brushing
science journalist Simon Singh is sued for defamation, in Britain downright ridiculous slander laws, the British Chiropractic Association. In an article in the British Guardian, com ; rra years, he warned of the chiropractor the useless and potentially dangerous treatments, which led to a chiropractor are sued him. They have not yet fallen, but it would at all have been no cases unless the well-known doubtful Judge Eady - well known to always take the side of the plaintiffs in defamation cases - determined that a single word: "bogus" had the meaning "deliberately deceptive" instead of "worthless" as the word in context obviously meant. In this single word hangs chiropractor's downfall.
Association of Sense about Science - with the main characters such as Stephen Fry, Richard Dawkins and Ricky Gervais - has taken great interest in the issue because the atmosphere has the potential side effect of making it impossible to journalistic science reporting. It would potentially give quack ability to sue anyone who criticizes the fact that they treat people without knowing what they were doing. In other words, putting an effective gag on any challenge.
Today, July 29, 2009, Sense about Science has given permission to re-press article - minus the PhD sentence - in print and electronic media, including blogs. This is for the public to have a chance to share the information and form their own opinion - is simply: do not let the chiropractor the disgusting practice silence critical voices.
who perchance go to a chiropractor, and now feel singled out as stupid and gullible: do not do that. Chiropractors are good at making it appear that their treatments - which rests on zero science - is accepted by the medical community. They call themselves doctor often and welcome you in a white coat or medical-like getup. As Scientologists, they speak quietly about what they actually believe - and what the questionnaire is that all about. (Convince yourself that you need their treatment)
In my opinion, chiropractors are the same fucking shit that homeopsykopater, crystal-Mongon, Sesame Street who want to pour candle wax in the ear of you - you wonder why I invite you to read article.
Society for Research and Popular Education has made a Swedish translation for those who find it difficult to read in English.
idea is that in a short, sharp shock to make knowledge accessible to as many people as possible.
Since I'm not sure about the call for re-pressing also the translation and private blogs, I choose posting links to be sure.
One concern is that chiropractors are in principle think _samtliga_ body's disease originates in the spine is nonfunctional. Therefore, they claim they can "cure" (in print and advertising) and cure (when it's just you and the chiropractor in the room), things like deadly allergies and asthma in children by burner pocket to the spine.
addition to those in the worst case fooling people not to seek sensible treatment for potentially life-threatening condition, there are also a handful of documented cases where chiropractic treatment led to a lifetime of pain, paralysis - yes, even death.
The only thing they possibly had any success with a certain type of back pain - the problem is that an osteopath or a physiotherapist do it better, cheaper and performances rallt safer.
Dare refuse chiropractor - sit at least into what these pajsarna actually think first. And _aldrig_ treat a child with a chiropractor. Play around with your own health if you must, but give your children scientifically proven treatment.
Hint: if doctors can not cure, but just treat the child have the answer is not to go to a homeopath or chiropractor. Please take a second doctor. Read on and for new treatments. But do not take on the Muppet with the diluted water or the idiot with the vertebrae. The reason that they can promise to succeed where the doctor fails, that they are not held to as strict burden of proof by your doctor.
But they promise to cure, open, breaking the law against quackery in Sweden - note how they almost never say openly that they can heal, they always talk about that "cure" and lo ; seems you fill in the gaps. Then they rely on the placebo effect or the body's ability to heal.
I'll tell you one thing - I can also treat your illness. All I Act gory and meaning to improve it is to treat it. Although I do not work. Although I _vet_ that I do not work. Even if my "treatment" consists of having you sit with a poop hat on his head and whistling Colonel Bogey so Ä , R is a treat. More is not needed to get to take people's money.
Daniel David Palmer - chiropractic ancestor - meant, when he began developing his theories in the 1860s, in all seriousness that 99% of the human body, diseases could be cured by the correction of the spine. Despite this, he never heal either his own violent disposition, or their sons remarkable tendency to develop blåögon and criminal damage all the time.

How To Hook Up Dish Network 322 Receiver Diagrams
Kunbjörntjänst - thank you for calling.
Yesterday there was a small letter on the mat from my retirement savings. It was (roughly): "Thank you for let us know your new address. This letter is sent to both your new and your old address. This will be the last letter we sent to this address. IMPORTANT: zomg IF YOU HAVE NOT CHANGED ADDRESS, YOU MUST CALL U.S. IMMEDIATELY ON THIS ISSUE xxxx xxxxxx! 1! Your reference number is XXX / YYYYY "
Stressed and deeply paranoid, I start googling. On the envelope is common "company The company" - but my savings is of course of "Company Bank "and almost pathologically paranoid as I am, I refuse to use web addresses that follow the message. I may be one step closer to compression stockings, but phishing has heard of. Google can be trusted. The Company The Company and Company Bank is one place that has just been renamed. Pooh. For safety would I check if their help number is the same as the message. It is. I call this number.
Tanya: Thank you for calling Company The company, talking to Tanya.
- Wait .. This will I break in and explain something. I write out Tanja's name, which she introduced herself with, because I know that it is not her real. "Why?" You ask, of course. Why she lied about her name? It is company policy. Not Tanja's own devising.
Brits do EVERYTHING on the phone. They are born with the phones down fished in the face and let them not ever. Doing things on the web, you can actually die from. British firms and government websites is so bad and difficult to navigate to eg do better in that googling "Paying council tax municipal-name" than going to their website and try to navigate to the payment function. It is impossible. It is like trying to play a nonfunctional solo adventure game master Forgot to make an exit from the labyrinth. When over a thousand clicks again find themselves at home begins to cry hysterically. (UK council tax paid by a fixed amount depending on where you live, not what you earn. You pay them with pre-tax dollars. For many, the communal tax one-fifth of their disposable income. usually close to the cone on the people who whine on the tax burden in Sweden.)
What does this have to Tanja's alter ego to do? Well, because the Brits are completely incapable of either construct or use the web tool will call the masses and it requires lots of servicing phones. These in turn are almost without exception located in countries where both the employer does not pay, and where high education and poverty often go hand in hand. Such as India. The giant call center is over-qualified Indians and lie about their names and try to answer questions and complaints from people frustrated to the limit of madness to try to to know things.
You still do not understand? Britons in general - and Engelsmäni particular - is a xenophobic and small-deck analogy. They do not believe that someone who speaks fluent English, but with an accent, can help them. They hang up if they take their calling to India. Therefore presents itself with the operators Anglo-Saxon-sounding names. Nobody goes in there, but it seems to give Britons a feeling of satisfaction to see people at least _försöka_ give way to their "Superiority". So you call customer service and speak with "Steve" or "Annie" and constantly struggling down the operation of self-destructive part of himself. You know the part that thinks "Now! Now I throw husnycklarna over the parapet, into the river "and" Damn, they're Germans. Do not scream Anschluss! Do not scream Anschluss! "And Tanja's and Steve's case:" _Får_ do not scream 'Birdie Num Num'! "
But it's not stretch wrong that I have obsessive thoughts, so I sharpen me all that I can and explain my case.
Tanja: Do you have your policy number?
Me: I have a reference number.
Tanja: I must have the policy number.
I: So the reference number of the letter have no function?
Tanya: No, it's just that we can keep track of the message. (Emphasis added)
I: [realizes that the policy number is buried in hemarkivet] Okay, then I call back in a moment.
Tanja: Yes it is going well, thanks for your call.
Hemarkivspaus.
Annie: Thank you for calling company company, my name is Annie. How can I help?
I: I received a letter stating that I have changed my address with you though I do not. I've only been your customer for two months and has not moved since.
Annie: Can I have your policynymmer.
I: [reciting the policy number, and try not to think about Gunga Din]
Annie: Thank you. [Short pause] we can not handle addresses here. Here is the number of the department who can. They are open between nine and five.
Several questions are piling up in my head. One is: why would I call this number immediately if I changed address: none at this number can help me. Another is: why have a department that handles things that must be dealt with IMMEDIATELY only open when all people with a pension is on the job. Another question is: Why does she need my policy number to tell you that she could not handle URLs?
Do not they know how traumatic it is for retirement? It waives a lot of good money today for later use when they are not worth a farthing? Funnily enough, my reaction on seeing my business to put aside several thousand a month for my future for the elderly only a sense of stress and impending poverty. "Just thirty years on me to save the "Do I think. "How can that be?" I see for myself how I and Eric share a Mariekex a day while we wonder why the dog never rings. We will be accommodated in a box at R80. For you must not imagine that there is any public pension when I pull on my slippers senile.
Then they force me to spend lots of time to think about it also, through losing my address and force me to make calls. I as _hatar_ phones.
I was so stressed about the whole thing to me last week was for me to hit on an ugly house in Lingbo. "Only 11.500 GBP" I tried to enthuse Erik. "Ripe fruit trees and installed heat pump! - That we pay by a few years ago and we own our house then when we get old. "So I was afraid to be left without a roof Island over my head and old that I was actually considering to move to an ugly suburb of Lingbo. Lingbo!
Whom the Bell Tolls. It tolls for me.

How To Get Rid Of Dry Mouth Caused By Adderall
Retirement is the new. Everyone knows that.
I first thought it to say that adult scores just hailing up, but then I reflected - a bit tired - that I plo ; tsligt not felt comfortable with the adult points to count anymore. When you have enough disappear, as the point of them to happily flirt with the O-grown man, after all, still is. It's fun to _exakt_ years to complete thirty-five and signing a pension agreement with their employer and realize that you probably intend to stay on the job until they go bankrupt or kick one, or until you actually gari pension.
In my policy it says what year I will go retire. It was too much information, I think. They could well be a bit more mysterious - hinta the approximate decade. Not just say straight out like that: in 2039, go into retirement sörru. Not that I will be able to afford to retire then, but still.
Whom the Bell Tolls.
If I cared about adult points they would like not to be so many, but suddenly it's more depressing, than something to giggle at while you snore unbending ( Once and for all: it is much sweeter than wine) and watching signed for adults. (Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy). Maybe, maybe, maybe it's not a big deal to get a nosebleed. Maybe the world does not revolve around Foam Mushrooms.
Here, speed is not a license, mortgage, biljävel or kids. Not even a little hamster is dependent on me for survival - Erik is in all cases the potted plants. Bamboo is a tough rascal, but Angel Trumpet hisses angrily and aggro-droops if I try to take care of it: it accepts only Erik. I stare mournfully at it. "You are betraying sisterhood" I growl at it and throw it to a piece of limestone. Calcareous soil is certainly not good for ... so what the cat is a änglatrumpet?
Wiki Pause.
"Brugmansia suaveolens. Belonging to the family Solanaceae " . Yeah. That was what I knew. We have a potato plant in the living room. Fucking pikeys we are.

Milena Velba Fake Milena Velba?
Four wolves had been too many. Two for a bit. It is always full moon.
When someone recently mentioned joker did a review of the above shirt at Amazon occurred for a short while a so-called "viral" around dress ; desplagget. In a short time was over six hundred reviews on the jersey from different users at Amazon, which led to the ironists worldwide for a time did the kitschy sweater for one of Amazon's best sellers.
Anyone who wants to can go and watch yourself. Do not forget that in addition to reviews take a look at the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed '- there is entertainment in itself. Or how about: books "How to Live With a Huge Penis", "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", "Why Cats Paint - an Insight in to Feline Aesthetics," a Country Cruiser/Tank- combo that someone put up for sale, The Very Best of David Hasselhof and a can of uranium.

Krusteaz Vs. Bisquick
I've married me to this name, but it's like that all the L's are related, via blood or marriage, in one way or another. There is only one ancestor of the block. This means that if you give a Lbäbis an unusual first name is very likely that they are the only man in the world with the name. There are dividers on every continent in the world and they are All Relatives of Ani forty-fifth part.
Are you seventy baby boom 'Jessica is not an uncommon name. Are you eighty 'baby boom, even less. Nevertheless, there seems to be, at least on the net, a single Jessica L to, and she is - irony of all ironies - settled on: * drum roll * Feng Shui.
Yep, irony meter hit the base and blew up. Your own beloved family skeptics share the name with a woman who takes 500 bucks an hour to tell you not to have lime green curtains in the living room if you want help getting pregnant, and that you should not have toilet facilities in the southeastern part of the house because it blocks your money-chi and will make you poor - but you can counteract this by always ensuring that the lid is cit ; slightly, to hang up expensive octagonal mirrors here and there and decorate with gold fish motif.
toilet in the picture is Feng Shui
(I happen to accommodate an aesthetic delight for goldfish and decorate happy with them, but it has to do with that I think that orange is a nice color and nothing else.) Yep - cash flow is entirely dependent on where in the house the toilet is. Just so you know.
It is also clear that Fångshwi-Jessica a (watch where did you get the pronunciation free of me) have a stronger web presence than I do. Perhaps it might be because I was more active on the Internet during my many maiden name, who knows. Anyway, the one googling Jessica L primarily to encounter Bunkum-Jessica and it makes me sad.
I think, therefore, to start a business with a strong web presence as the five hundred bucks an hour comes to your home and clean up your superstition. By force if necessary.
I like the idea of a programmer who works on the avprogrammerare.
On the other hand, googling my first maiden name - your mother's surname - so you can find in the first place some eighty 'baby boom' blonde who blogs about the nutter is being a mom and how her kid is special. (Hint: it is Nor me.) There is the usual "OMG - Thindra * has found his toes! LoLguvasöthoneLoL Gull Kids! One! "And other misspelled name is brain dead.
Anyone looking at the name I wore between 1981 and 1992 - when I learned to defend myself and called the registry office - find my stay friends-page. It's typical that I hated the name is the only thing that links directly to me. (And a bunch of people who have the same first name and used an adjective that indicates the completion of something)
I have taken no responsibility for what either Jessica or Jessica A. L is doing online. They are bimbos everybody and I will officially distance from them.
* To protect the child I have not used their real names. But I promise that it is just as intelligence liberated and an equally serious problem with an White Trash-fashion names Tindra, Thindra, Thinzdraz and what other "creative" spellings one can think of giving their children to na ra the "unique".
Hint: good genes, nutritious food, good education and a portion of luck is much more effective than finding a name hoptotat of letters from the alphabet ass. "Special" - yes. Unique - no.

Nadine Jensen Breastfeeding
You see, this is why reviews are so good. On reminded me in a comment, on your gullible Next door, on Measles.
I was so angry when I wrote that post that I did not for my life could remember measles. I knew it was a disease I was particularly upset, but I remembered the hell not what it was. With Ridge comments fell into place.
On the commentary says, and I forwards it simply because I trust Oh, that some kindergartens in the Stockholm area, children's groups where the group immunity is as low as 70%. She also addresses the important issue of those parents with unvaccinated children probably do not have any problem with taking their children with them on holidays abroad to countries where tra ; sslingen still kills children, and then bring their kids back to children's groups for team immunity collapsed. Thanks for that.
the unvaccinated population is not separated from the rest of us - they're out there every day. Coughing, sneezing and touching doorknobs with sticky hands. At best, they give us a cold or the FLU ...
The first scapegoat in Autism Vs. Vaccination was MMR-syringe. MMR stands for Mumps, Measles, Rubella: Mumps, measles and rubella for us mortals. And it is also MMR syringe worst affected. It is particularly Mumps, measles and rubella as Your Neighbor gullible think that your kid can take.
Your Neighbor gullible believe that autism has "exploded" during nållnålltalet. Let's look at it: 1998 was the criteria for autism, so that the state previously covered under other diagnoses / syndromes / conditions som tex. Mental retardering och vissa inlärningssvårigheter numera går under autismspektrat.
Efter detta ökade, inte förvånande, antalet autism-diagnoser. Det hade kanske varit signifikant om inte antalet barn som diagnosticerades med de numera kriterie-minskade diagnoserna minskade i exakt samma omfattning. Antivaxxarna som älskar att se kausalitet där det finns korrelationer (med samma logik kan man konstatera att en oproportionerligt stor del av patientgruppen som får cellgiftsbehandling avlider) har for some reason not bitten itself in this piece of statistics.
Those who get their children diagnosed in the autism spectrum often respond to sit down and learn everything they can about it. Some notes on which this apparently statistically significant increase in autism incidence, which of course is perceived as disturbing. Being this öknig must have a cause - or? The reason could be: "more is included in the spectrum now" is not enough dramatically, for those who are so INCLINE. And who might have difficulty accepting their children like it is.
One of my pet subjects of late is that we often refuse to meet people where they are, but persist in wanting to face them where we think they should be. Peer pressure plays a specific function to prevent us from committing stupid acts, but its back is that it often allows the craziest to define reality. It is by Tage Danielsson said: "That certainly is not wise." Therefore, it is easily done to those who doubt their own convictions, often set the agenda. For the rest of us are reasonable. It is not ideal, but what do you do?
It is therefore doctors do not have to print the placebo - which drives desperate people to seek help from homeopaths - who have no scruples against selling water and sugar for 6000sek quart for people with severe asthma. That is why we as a society can not force our gullible neighbors to immunize their children. If your gullible neighbor was in your situation, he or she would undoubtedly require that the police took your child and forced vaccinated it. Be sure of that. It is precisely because we can not. For that we are not like them. And it makes use of the to place your child in danger.
2002, the New England Journal of Medicine a study on 500 000 (https: / / content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/347/19 / 1477) Danish children born between 1991 and 1998. The information came from the Psychiatric Central Register, where information on all children who received no diagnosis is and all children born in Denmark between 1991 and 1998 were studied.
study is a bit more complicated than what I am going to make it sound, but in brief, was that they compared the portion of the population who had not received any vaccinations to those who have been vaccinated, specifically with MMR. The unvaccinated children were obviously reduced in number since the unvaccinated people in Denmark: thankfully, is less than number vaccinated so far. However, the study showed that in the population with a diagnosis of autism spectrum represented the unvaccinated children and the vaccinated children exactly equal shares of their respective populations. In percentage terms there was no difference.
To explain: 500,000 is a large population. In clinical studies included a population of 1000 patients with a fairly large study. It is because we in Scandinavia are central registers for this way that it is possible to do this kind of investigations. A similar study in the United States, for example, föreställerjag me, if not impossible, then at least infinitely more complicated to do. (And expensive. Did I say expensive?)
2007, enlightening WHO, killed 197 000 people - mostly children under five years of ; lders - of measles. Measles is still one of the most common causes of death for children. The majority of these children have not had access to Measles Vaccine due to poverty, or because they live in countries where it is difficult to reach out to people with medical on ; Measures. While WHO is struggling to get the vaccination rate in the third world, Jenny McCarthy is fighting to get them down in the western world. She has to and even said openly that she hopes that there will be a measles outbreak that Onda big pharma have to develop a safer vaccine. (A catch-22 because it is not possible to develop a vaccine that causes less autism, because the vaccine in question are causing autism zero.) What she actually says which is that she wishes to break user group immunity so that other children will die (her son's vaccinations - that's why she is - which makes it less likely that he would just emphasize with. For that's not what she hopes for? Imagine what books and Oprah-visit it would be.) That compel commercial firms to change the substance, which is not present in their vaccines, against one another as does not cause autism, thus giving her a sense of self-righteousness and satisfaction. When I feel the need for self-righteousness and satisfaction, I usually pick up trash after the second and drinking coffee. Everyone's needs are different. I blame it on Norma Rae. Americans always want to be the Norma Rae. Fucking Sally Field.
I take it again: Jenny McCarthy want your, or your gullible neighbor, children should die to support her cause. With only a measles epidemic would prove would be that people still die from measles? When the only factor we know increases the risk of autism is that the mother suffer from measles during pregnancy? Irony-arc: a vaccinated mother had in that particular case made a difference. Nothing else we know makes a difference. We could spend money on looking for better treatments and better explanatory models, but no - we will chase a ghost in the bottle instead. For Mom is on a quest!
Mumps after puberty may make young men sterile. Red Dog after puberty can do young women sterile. Measles can kill anyone, but especially children and the elderly.
Antivaxxarna are not even agree on what the vaccines as "causing" problems. First it was MMR until they discovered that no one had an MMR injection with the (microscopic and harmless amount) of mercury since about 2000th Where did those woo-wooiter always do: they moved the goalposts. Changed the subject in a double sense - in this case that Thimerosal also contained the ethyl mercury - up to 2002. When it became apparent that Thimerosal could not have caused their child's autism just moved the goalposts again, and now is the order in which the vaccination is given which has been targeted ... Anything rather than admit that there is not any reliable support for an incorrect hypothesis.
It is Therefore, overconfidence is one of those horrible hydra. Man chops off a head, with a sword forged from rigorous logic, correct execution of studies and facts in order to immediately see a new head to grow up and attack the paint on the sword. You get tired. You get migraines. You start over.
Mom - now I speak in particular to you - I have been to me that you have told if a school friend who had polio, but I can mix up the stories.
Salk vaccine was announced to the world in April 1955, so then you must have already been to school. I can imagine it took a while to get it out to people too.
point is that there are plenty of people who are not much older than sixty, who remembers and can tell you about Poliomyelitis. How to save their mothers were. The invention of the piles of leaves flourished to create a sense of security. How school friends disappeared from the classrooms and sometimes returned on crutches or in wheelchairs, and sometimes not returning at all. I think we need to hear Polio-stories. I think it's important.
In the case of autism so we do not know yet what is happening there, but most of the time - as in: most reliable studies - suggests that autism is either congenital, or upstår in vitro by a hitherto unknown cause. The most likely scenario is that it is in the package well before the person in question draws its first breath. Long before he or she is vaccinated. I can vividly imagine how frustrating it is to have an explanation - just a "Here's the deal with this. We do not know why and we can not do. Good luck. "I understand that. But I do not understand why you want to kill other people's children to justify their child's existence. The piece I just do not understand.
Nor I understand how to use the argument that has emerged from a man who believes that Obama won the presidential election because he "hypnotized people to reed , first at him "... Yes, I know: attack the argument and not the foliemössade paranoiac who argue, but what the hell? Someone moderation may it be?

Purposely Rude Restaurant Chicago
We have had visits by the world's most unsuccessful thief. As we stayed at B Rd, there has been trouble-prone and trouble-prone outside our window. The reason is probably that we are located midway between Rgates all pubs and a bit larigt area on the other side of us. Quite often begins the hysterical fracas between full fjårtis-girls and their twenty something boyfriends somewhere around Thursday afternoon and continues at least on Sunday night.
Monday morning I go to work and notes on the way to Eric's bike cover is gone.
WTF?
Who steals a bike cover? Seriously? It is an inexpensive coated nylon. It is a bit broken since I tried to pull it over the bike in trouble and accidentally pull one of kardborreremarna. At least two seagulls have defecated on the local and cats tend to fight revistrider means drawing on the accession. (Thus, it is _mycket_ cat pee on the lower parts of this coating. Very.)
Yet someone felt it worthwhile to steal it.
Perhaps it was someone drunk and locked out past the man. Ignored my second hand bike that was without protection, with a worse lock, and went straight at Erik's Bike trapped in an iron fence with both head and motorcycle chain. Realizing that it was too hard locked to provide transportation to a mate and instead stole the cover to protect themselves against the rain. Maybe living the time of writing a new life as impromptu tent in the dog park. The protection may be sufficient for the bikes, but nylon is more frequent than that, like a cheap tent, permeable to moisture which are firmly reach ; something.
I see before me how the thief wakes up in the bushes in the dog park, hung over, wet and stinking of cat pee. An evocative picture of how crime does not pay.
Besides, I have long thought that Erik's bike should have a new cover because the loose band allows the flaps in the enervating oupphö ANNUAL wind that comes with living on the coast (not to mention that it is kattkissigt), so what the thief actually did was to save myself the job to do of it.
Perhaps the most pointless crime in criminal history.
And a very typical picture of living in Rgate. - Especially on our street. People steal and in passing under the motto: "Hey, that was not nailed down!" When we moved in there were two massive terracotta pot with well-tended geraniums on stairs. We noted that they were attached to the railing with wire and padlocks. And it stopped the theft of the pots. Instead had someone, a drunken night when we stayed there a couple of months, torn up geranium from the pot and thrown them into the neighbor's basement stairs. As you do.
We are split on this. Since we live one floor up, it is not as likely to me we personally affected by all this vandalism (other than missing bike cover). We love the apartment, but getting tired of the area. While we are sick sick of moving. What do you do?

Stuff Covering My Clitorius
Your gullible neighbor believes that vaccinations can make children autistic. (Some gullible neighbors believe that God does not want them to vaccinate their children - for whatever reason, they are equally stupid in the head and deserves no children) Your gullible neighbor think the fact that autism is usually detected at about the same age as you get vaccinations means that vaccinations cause autism. Your gullible neighbor is too stupid to understand that autism was there all along, but had not noticed until you are two or three of the , r old. Your gullible neighbor decides not to vaccinate. For your gullible neighbor has heard that mercury is used as bevaringsmedel of the vaccine, and is no mercury so it is another heavy metal or toxin. Your gullible neighbor could easily ask their doctors what is in the vaccine, and be told that no mercury is present, but where's the fun in that?
Your gullible neighbor is stupid, and puts _ditt_ children in mortal danger. "Why?" You ask. "My neighbor might is stupid, but my child is vaccinated so what difference does it make if my neighbor's unvaccinated kid dragging home TB, polio and whooping cough? "
It matters to why the vaccine works is something called group-immunity. Every individual is responsible not to the vaccine and are not protected by it and it is impossible to know in advance who do not respond to it. There are also people who for various reasons not _kan_ vaccinated, and the reasons are not with their parents' low IQ to do but with autoimmune diseases, the ones we have not been vaccinated against. That we almost extinct scarlet fever, for example, because a sufficient number of vaccinated themselves, so they are not protected by vaccine protected by all the others are protected by the vaccine. The virus has nowhere to go: it killed mercilessly in nine out of ten the immune system and can not spread to the next individual.
Vaccine is, very simply put, disarmed viruses that teaches your immune system to kick the shit out more of the same. All immune system can not handle this. They rely on group-immunity. It is your neighbor's stupidity potentially deadly for your child. If your child is one of those children whose immune systems politely look at the vaccine viruses are and say "Welcome sir, I hope you'll like" so it is important to crap your neighbor's children have not gullible parents.
remember somebody Jenny McCarthy? Seventy chord and remember her as "some chick who drove videos in MTV's infancy" - some are aware that she is going out with Jim Carrey. But what she is above all, is stupid. When her son showed up odd behavior she decided immediately that she was an Indigo Mom and that he was a Crystal Child. They were, like, the next step in human evolution. A kind of New Age Über People in the fine old woo-woo-Nazi spirit. She did what any self-respecting Hollywood Mom does when she discovers she has a special child: she wrote several books about it, started a group for the future of people went to see Oprah and told us about their wonderful children. When therefore he was diagnosed with autism (a diagnosis that has been questioned since his symptoms are very similar to a disease who misdiagnosed as autism more often than the right is diagnosed, and which is treatable) can be understood that she was disappointed.
We know that autism mothers are perhaps a bit difficult to understand McCarthy's breaking over this - no one autism mom I know can afford to namely breaking down. No one autism mom I know has a need to justify their child's existence in the eyes of others. But Jenny McCarthy decided that the vaccine was the culprit and big pharma would be hunted to the last drop of blood. So she did what any self-respecting Hollywood Mom does when she suspects that her special child was special than she thought because big nasty corporation: she wrote several books about it, formed an association for parents whose children have been autistic from vaccinations to visit Oprah and talked about it.
But she has already lost interest in that too. The next step in her mother-crusade is that a "cure" her son. Yep, autism moms out there. If you just dried bother you, you would know that autism is possible to train away. Yes sir, for it has made Jenny McCarthy with her son, who by now is so special that there is no stopping it: imagine themselves to be born as next step in evolution, development of autism and then be healed from the - is it a phenomenon, or is it?
Jenny McCarthy's son has made tremendous progress. Funnily enough with a "new" treatment that is awfully similar to the old treatment for the disease that so often misdiagnosed as autism. Funny coincidence that.
So, Jenny McCarthy did what any self-respecting Hollywood Mom does when she cured her former crystal-son from autism: she is - all together now: wrote several books about it, started an association for parents who want to cure their children ques n autism and greeted Oprah and talked about it. (And still stubbornly claims that he became ill due to vaccine and operating an anti-vaccine lobby in the U.S.)
And the best thing for Jenny McCarthy, if not com r her son, is that there is at least one book, compound and an Oprah appearance last one milking from it all. I am convinced that within a few years will see Jenny McCarthy to write several books about having a child misdiagnosed with autism in the disqualification of the book have a treatable disease, start a club for people who had their children misdiagnosed as autistic and health on Oprah and talk about it.
But not until "Her" treatment has fallen off the bestseller list probably. You have to pay rent too.
Idiots like Jenny McCarthy convince your gullible neighbor not to vaccinate their children, and then flutter to the next excuse, while your neighbor is there with their unvaccinated children and exposes not only his own children, but also your, life and limb.
Vaccineringssifrorna in Sweden falls annually. We are approaching the limits of immunity when the group no longer holds. This UK we have already had the death of 'extinct' diseases such as Rubella, Polio, Measles and Mumps. In some areas of London are vaccination rates less than 40% (Group Immunity reach around 90%).
vaccination as a preventive measure has worked for all of us who may have been vaccinated in Sweden, our group immunity is strong.
This UK offered surgery to remove vaccinationsärr. Never in hell that I would take away my: I wear it with pride on the beach (and on the right shoulder blade).
It's proof that I am not sired by idiots.

How Can I Tell If My Shoulder Is Fractured
Hon. Is back. It is not really that ominous (it is even a Swedish word?) As it sounds. She is not dangerous. Not even particularly annoying for me personally. But she should not be here and it is she.
She started at the same time as me. She was a bit annoying in that way that you do not really want to admit that you are experiencing. One wants to be a gorgeous girl. Someone who takes on the misfits and so. Anyone who remembers what it was like to be misfit. Someone actually made a lifestyle of always being the one that looks at the current misfits feel welcome in any case. Someone who is willing to take the risk yourself being bullied for the man stands up for the bullied. You want it.
It is not the nasty toys in the picture who has written the letter.
But the risk of that behavior is that there are fifty-fifty between becoming lifelong friends with a grateful misfit who thrives in a single person showed appreciation and that immediately ceases to be a misfit - or at least channel their inability to fit in any socially acceptable nörderi or, more often, get a notice that: it was not me who gave a misfit a chance this time, but it was a happy, funny nerd who took a gamble on the scatter their pearls for me and see if I oink - and to put on a professional victim. A kind of reverse bully who uses his weakness for messing with others and get what they want. I say fifty-fifty, but so far it is four-square between Prof. victims and happy geek surprise of my life. But I see it like this: geek happy surprises do not need me, so they do not seek me out. I must find them. And since I myself am a happy nerd surprise, it's more tentatively how it will work in practice. Withdrawn Withdrawn + = tentative acquaintance. But Prof victims ... They are a different story.
Prof victims, however. They can smell me from a hundred miles away. I'm not saying that the direct booking a ticket and Ryan follows her nose from continent to continent, but if we are in the same context so they attach to me like barnacles (or is it sjöanemoner?) and is stuck until I "make them disappointed." (This has made me deeply suspicious of anyone who actively seek my company. I always have to have a serious conversation with myself about not being afraid to fully normal people who just happen to think that we click.)
Need I say that She followed the archetype and welded themselves onto me from day one? I got on the bus. She was there. Wanted to talk. I did not want to talk. (1.I is a bad conversationalist and it gives me the anxiety of having to carry a conversation. Second I am not a morning person and want to be left alone on the road to work. 3rd I take every chance to read a book, Tomorrow the bus is very suitable for - if I really concentrated on the bus rampage, I would never be able to sleep again. Honestly, what is it with British bus drivers? They all behave like they are the last bus out of Pompeii. Maybe they are trying to run the time so they can have long conversations with people at each stop before they run on?) But you want to be a gorgeous girl. She who takes on those who are a bit anxious.
So, I plutt coated on. As you may remember, Mom, so it was good. I learned at the right pace and receiving encouragement and more difficult tasks of J. I found myself to inform the team discovered that my colleagues were fun (generally) and thrived.
Just as well, it was not for her. One of the problems was that she ... How do I say that? She was not so ... Her intellect was not so suitable for this particular kind of information ... Thus, I would not say that she is sluggish. So I do not think so. But it's her. Sluggish So. Or: her talent profile includes not just the fields necessary for this type of work. What do I know - maybe she is cruel on ukulele or can juggle toilet rolls like a pro? Her home is perhaps a miracle of tasteful furnishings, almost straight out of Wallpaper? Maybe she can dance like Kevin Bacon or write stanzinetter in Sanskrit? I do not know. I just know that she can not be programmed. At all. She has severe problems in understanding even the simplest concepts. She does not remember from one time to a another how she, with great difficulty and very helpful, solved a problem last time. (For about thirty seconds ago).
No, not her either. She read of course, you see well?
But you want to be that girl. So I helped her. I explained. Again. And again. I showed my solutions. I gave her my copy, carefully annotated, programs for self fiddling with them and see. And I'll give her this: she _ville_ understand. She _ville_ do it yourself. She never left the slightly modified versions of my programs as solutions to the data. She did not steal response. But she did not understand why my solution worked and not her. Fast. I. Explained. I was completely cracked at not being able to find a way to explain that went forward. It did not.
probation ended - there was no question about it. She could not continue. She cost the company money. It is supposed to generate them. We are a company - not a sheltered workshop. J was feeling bad. He had worked so hard to get her fit for purpose and provided her with how many extra hours tutoring at any time, at the expense of time he should be spent on projects that lead projects (such as drug money for the com company) - he did his job in the evenings and was her caregiver days. (Nej. She is _verkligen_ not nice, so, yes, it was of his goodness.) The rest of us helped out as best we could. D, C and I. P called in - as homemakers and senior, she was only supposed to clean the project. Just, just programming. But she is so cruel clever and so good at conveying his knowledge to J begged it as a favor to her and she stood up. She also wanted to be that girl. J arranged an extension of the probationary period to give her a chance to catch up. Right against management's wishes. He fought tooth and nail to give her a chance. He justified it by saying that she missed a couple of productive days at the beginning of her IT had tangled. (Everyone's IT struggled incessantly at the beginning. The office was new and the system under-dimensioned) He got what he wanted. She got one last chance to prove that she could understand the most rudimentary features of our work.
She did not, and it was not because of lack of commitment. The whole office was involved in getting her up to scratch. But it did not. The woman has a master's in math but do not understand how to calculate minutes of an hour. She did not SAS-time. What is not working as usual measure of time, but still not difficult to understand: to simplify the kind of arithmetic that the reporting of time requires time is expressed in the SAS as the number of days elapsed since 1 / 1 1960th 2 / 1 in 1960 is therefore 1, 3/1 är dag 2 etc. Dagar som infallit före 1/1 1960 uttrycks som negativa tal. Detta gör det lätt att tex räkna ut hur många dagar som gått sen man tog första dosen av en medicin man testar utan att behöva dividera med 24/60 etc. Det är faktiskt enklare än att jobba med ”normala” tidsangivelser. Så icke för Henne. Det krångliga med det var att Hon inte förstod att även om underliggande data för en viss dag inte såg ut som detta långa tal eftersom någon along the way applied a style to it. Ie, told the system to show it on one of the human brain is easy to understand manner. This SAS is one hundred and first Most people can take this with a little encouragement, even if they have never been close to the statistical programming. Yes, even if they failed math in elementary school completely, so the concept is still understandable. Maybe not for my fuzzy description above, but definitely after that I found and let them try again. I feel _ingen_ who could not understand this (if they only have the stomach concentrate long enough)
Hon. Understood. Not.
But she wanted to work as a programmer. So much in fact that when J with a heavy heart had to give her the news that she would not be permanent, so he could not even begin to say what he would before she interrupted him with "If this does not go as I want, I will notify the bullying has been going on here."
Gobsmacked?
It was we.
Here, however, I shoot in, I should have seen it coming. During one of torture bus trips when we failed by expressing ourselves in English as the second did (let's put it like this: I often get credit for my English is better than the spoken on the BBC. Soooo ... it was not my English was the problem. I think.) so she told me - as if it were completely normal - she cit mt its neighbor. And his landlord. For the landlord had actually beaten her. (I do not think of any more) She was deeply upset that the court did not give her the right.
Whatever is going on in the department, this was not the bullying - more pampering. Rather, affirmative action. Rather sick much support and help. But - a woman of her word, she received the news that the management has decided not to offer her a permanent contract. Went home without saying goodbye and filed official complaints on bullying.
She implied D and C - tried to imply to me, but there was J documentation that she repeatedly expressed how happy and grateful she was for my help so it crapped itself, and asserted in place of HR that the reason it went so well for me with the introductory course was that I had genius for me a record of all data before it began. Why is she not attracted to it on the boys, I have no idea. (Perhaps she did, but I did get of course only know what I was accused of). Since J himself had removed the record-section from the Compendium before he distributed it and had it locked in his desk drawer, he could easily refute that kind of allegations. (When I was at the interview I had to make a technical test on my SAS skills, so it had probably gone to loose anyway, but J suggested as a gladiator for me. Yes: I was a teacher's favorite. Do you have a problem with that?)
process has since gone out for a whole year. Bullying is usually difficult to prove if you really are bullied. But if not, it has been time and energy to obtain a medical certificate that you feel bad - even if the cause can not be proven. In a normal company would have gone like this: HR conduct an investigation. Concludes that the allegations can be substantiated. Insertion that they are would be in trouble if they kick someone after a bullying allegation and buy him out. Probably what she expected. In our business they have instead chosen to keep her (as a probationer) - but it took a year to reach such a point. My theory is: they follow all the rules and laws that are and would rather the major economic blow to have her in Payroll than to "negotiate with terrorists," which probably would be less costly. Counter-claim is that she actually comes in and works, which is the last thing she wants. She has prokrastinerat in one year. Sick Wrote itself. Absent from meetings. Erupted during the negotiations. Everything for them to give up and kick her. Throughout the year, the course has not paid wages, but she has probably been living on the equivalent of the sickness fund (hint: not much stålars) until it became unbearable to live on so little money and she Insa , g that they would not cough up. A common avgångsverderlag usually three months at frivillit redundancy. A Worker's comp can be up to one year's salary. Probably they thought that it is better to give her a chance to become productive, pay a part-time (She's working now only Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) for three months and then kick her, secure in the knowledge that they are squeaky clean. To amuse himself a bit, they have given her G as immediate superior. G hate her. G is a first-class narcissist, classic bully - perhaps they hope to take two birds with one stone - Maybe they just wanted to mess with G which is now forced to paw at the toe of her, well aware that it could cost him his job to speak up against her. It is wonderful to see. She, had to work with something she can not handle, and he had to suck up to someone who disgusts him - and be accountable for that she learns her job. At first I thought HR was stupid that not only said, "Hey, we have proof that you are lying. Unpack you out of here and forget References: "Now I wonder if there is a nasty streak in our HR department that I, on the one hand not to be left in the firing line for, but on the other hand, currently enjoying the a spectator. I think they have handled this just right. (In my view, that is)
Recommended reading.
Okay. She has lied about me, and if people I like. She has been underestimated my innate intelligence by not being able to think I can understand the things she can not (the only thing she knows about my background is that I am a humanist, and my longest job before this was in kindergarten) - if she, Matt schoolmaster, not fix it - how can the Swede who does not even have math c (that's Number Two high school math for us old-timers.) understand that? No, ruffel and arc must exist. (In a weak moment, she revealed to me - on the bus of course - that it took her five years to meet the three-year training behind her msc, and that her supervisor in practice did the information for her to get rid of her. No, she did not take a sabbatical. She was studying full time for all five years. It is two years of only omtentor. )
Then came the next shocker: she is 45. (She dresses from New Look and TopShop - ie, as a thirteen). She is 45. This is the longest job she ever had and she has spent a total of four months a year here. She has put in systems to fail on things and either get others to do them for her, or meeting people. This is what I mean by typical of a bully who uses his weakness (and other people's kindness) as weapons. One prof victims.
Now she's back. She is doing its best to act victims. She stresses along the walls and staring, staring, staring at people, and not necessarily that she's talking to (she has iofs always done, it was one of the things that immediately PinPoint her as a misfit). She jumps to if someone talks to her. She stopped short as a deer in the truck cease when I say good morning. It's disgusting actually and both insulting and annoying. She knows, as well as I, that I have not bullied her - but on the contrary - so why is she so? Why löjlar she?
Well - well, she must properly maintain the illusion, and partly so: if I had lied about someone, in the belief that a : they would not hear it, and b: I would never see them again, I would have thought it was damn hard to meet them again, given that HR had interview with them and put forward - and been disproved - Every lie. Partly as hell better jump when they kindly say good morning.
I with my fucking mood? Why have I not riveted to her? Well - she has no advantage over me, so why should I care about. She can play their little game if she wants - her lies were toothless and her acting is obvious to all. On the contrary, she gets me to see the damn professional and grown up each time I kindly greet her good morning - and I have the satisfaction of an ever so well-aimed BIFF would never make her less stressed out by her anticipation of the , and the creepy friendliness of a man trying to do really bad. Revenge not only taste better cold, the more protracted it is, the harder it takes.
And whatever how little I want - I'm still that girl. No matter how badly she has behaved, so it gave her no real advantage. She did not achieve what she wanted. She burned the major bridges, and alienated their sole defender, in his wild facts after straw and she is probably sincerely apprehensive about the reaction from them she lied about . She is expected to do a job she can not handle and she knows that she would not have the pay, severance pay or sick leave in a few months. No one in her office like her. They are polite and friendly, but they do not like her and no one wants her there. Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday she goes to a job she does not want, and do not want her, trying to do things she just can not handle, along with people who have good reason to be angry at her and no reason to extend a hand as she struggles. She is several thousand mil from her family, she is 45 and too stupid passing a qualifying job, but the snobby to take an unqualified. There is no one like her.
How can I _not_ feel sorry for such a man?

Thank You Letter To Hairstylists
Weight: 62kg
BMI: 24.8
Unlike last weighing:-4kg
difference from day one: ;-6kg
Unlike maxnotering this Christmas:-13kg (or almost exactly two least as they say here)
It goes slowly, but it is still present. Today's weigh-promised me that I weigh 62 kg, which with just 24.8 putts me in overweight and sits me down - albeit loosely - in Bmin dreamland: ideal / normal weight com is my height. Now we know what I think of BMI. If the BMI, I think not. The fact that it was developed in the nineteenth century when the average length was 10 cm less than today - which means that very short people and very tall people may be difficult to stay within "permissible" gap - and that it is completely calculated in a sedentary existence - which means that the muscles get in the same category as obese because they weigh more - making it a more than blunt tool .
SAPIENCE people usually say that the only people engaged in active body building would be placed in the category sneaky little-fat-but-many-pounds, but they are full of shit. Right now I _har_ much fat, I know with me, but it is also a fact that I only need to look at a dumbbell to get BICC as medium-sized Easter eggs - the biceps my time at the theater gave me is still there - as the yoga-hard abs. Fluffet exterior conceals just how they look, not that I can easily squeeze three time thirty with 25kg on magmaskinen in a gym without getting sweaty. Calves, we will not talk about: is there anyone who remembers Super-Mac in Buster? There somewhere around. Did I say I work in an office?
This is echoed in the family, a certain my aunt related bulk muscles Hoa Hoa on to write "weight training" on a post-it and put it in a secret place in her neighborhood - we clearly does rise any editions Swedish landrace per generation in our family. We ought to get EU subsidies and put on display at Skansen.
But I do not give up there. I feel so good without carbohydrate bombs that drew my mood up and down and aggravated hormone fluctuations and do not I get my forty minutes activity per day I'll become grumpy. One night a week I did not with my time, because when I was done with the house and the kitchen was at bedtime. (Erik and I put us in principle, always at the same time. So bedtime is controlled by those who have entered first.)
I am, that is - just barely - below the arbitrary threshold for being overweight, which was my goal. To reach targets up must come to have. According to the county council (which is now Eric's employer) I have a couple of pound just escaped cancer, diabetes, myocardial infarction, spontaneous ignition and poltergeistinfestationer. But I will continue. The next milestone is to get under 60, which I have not been since 2003. Or more specifically, to 58kg which is my ultimate comfort weight. It may take the time it takes, I do not hurry. Then I reconsider and see if I can squeeze it down to 55 which is my comfort weight, and during which I get a weird shape on his face that I do not like.
course it is not Wii Fit is behind all the pounds - and I eat carbohydrate-reduced (though so many calories I want) and I am more active than before even when I'm not standing in front Wiin. Mostly in the form of walking. But I can be active is the Wii Fitens merit so by extension, it is because the.
I am now looking forward to friends and relatives come to visit on and play We Cheer! and Shaun White with me this summer.

Wearing Womens Undies
Well, the name is actually so and not Wii Cheer. In my growing arsenal of active Wii games to not be tired of activities is now in this relatively newly released game from Bandai for the Nintendo Wii platform.
The first impression of the game is that it's Super-Kawaii *. I chose the avatar with the two tufts, for it shall be Kawaii way it should. To my disappointment, I did not baptize her to Jessica, but the only place Where I can write my name becomes the name of my save-file. My avatar name is Ai, whether I like it or not. (A brief search on youtube where people put out their gameplay shows that in principle _EVERYONE_ playing We Cheer choose Ai - I'm so mainstream)
You play as the captain of the new admissions a hejaklacklag. One can make their character a little bit - choose a new skin color and hair color, etc. All figures are not available to all hair colors, but has a selection of about ten . One can only be a girl, which of course is a limitation.
You can play one or more players, up to six. But because each player should preferably have two Wii controls were, and most living rooms do not allow cheerleaders you will realize that it has its limits though.
We start with a heel of six girls, the game is to follow the markings on the screen, which shows how to waving his arms, to the beat. A small megaphone in the lower right corner slowly filled with rainbow colors to highlight how exhilarated the audience gets from your wagging. (Hint: they will be pleased if you spots in your movements and Dropper loop if you miss too much) As one manages data align themselves more girls and to win new uniforms.
There are no guys to choose, unlike the All-Star Cheer Squad, which I have not tried, but as I understand the reviews have a lot of what We Cheer lacks.
The interface is awkward, there are long laddsekvenser and between each routine has the same damn conversation over and over with his coach and a rival / love is not gone / participants in the sport to cheer for. Luckily you can skip them, but it is still a lot of waiting for it to load. Very frustrating when you have to cope with a lousy level to move forward and really do not like Hillary Duff and has to run it again and again.
graphics left much to be desired, but to some extent, it is understandable because Nintendo put brown to when they released Wiin and let the visuals take a back seat to keep the cost down and hoped that the concept would help to sell the machine. It was the pretty in.
routines and movements to be expected to do is sometimes incomprehensible. One can get a routine by waving the right way, but you never get time to, for example, practicing a routine with his squad, you go straight from practice standard movements, alone in the gymnastics hall to go to championships. I really miss a proper fitness function. When the team turns or jumps, I stand there like a Muppet, waving his arms. Arm movements are tight and fast and 96% of them I have never seen before. You get some clues by looking at his avatar, but it's rarely time to time. No training is, therefore, without standing directly on the stage and do a routine one never seen before.
A perfect allegory of life: you stand there as a fan and everyone else seems to have been given a script, except you. Definitely a game for those who want to train yourself to live with your existential angst.
On eBay has a resourceful person put up for sale pom-Pomer to put on his Wiimote to increase the authenticity of feeling. Kawaii? Jovars.
The game is set up over a number of arenas, which in turn has a number of tracks over five levels of difficulty. However, as you can handle songs are locked up new arenas, etc. Unlocked songs accompany you to any new stadium, so you must not stay in the same arena until everything is clear - you can jump a bit, which is fortunate because you quickly run out of "easy" procedures.
First the bad:
There is a training course, but you can only train the same fifteen movements - which also do not appear particularly often in the very competitive element, so it fills really no further function.
controls are poorly calibrated, so if you listen to music and rhythm, you are doomed to failure - it just pure luck if one spots. It makes the learning curve is steep and severity are very arbitrary. Since many of the easiest routines is slow I end up quickly in the bizarre situation that it takes up to twenty attempts to pass a enstjärning routine, but I can on the other hand, an advanced, femtstjärnig, hip-hopinspirerad routine at a high pace on the first attempt. The fast routines are simply easier to follow.
User's Guide is short and meaningless. None of it helps me get along better. Everything is trial and error.
So I do not like it at all then? Well, I love it - and hate it. I swear like a BRUSHMAKER when I fail with the same - as the interface - Simple routine for the fortieth time and must listen on the This Perfect Day again (When you fail, you get booed off the stage and throwing paper wads at one) and cheering as the five-star Come On N'Ride the Train sits like a cap on the first attempt. I love my cheer quad that is so kawaii * so I almost died. All the girls look like Bratz dolls and Ai is so cute, so I will beep.
Training torque is a menu where your cheerleader safari mission to help a DULL athletes to regain form by leading him into an aerobics routine. Again, it is out of the dot arm movements, but unlike the cheer routines you can follow the whole routine. Once you have trained down the player you get a reward, usually in the form of a new uniform. This moment is really tiring, even if some procedures, even the long routine, is too short to constitute a real workout.
We forgive you for that game is sweet, but it is badly done - it has in my opinion, botched off a brilliant idea. Plus, because I get sweaty and puff to play it and for two hours of activity is lost without me guess where they have gone.
game is held entirely against girls, who are not already gejmers - the audience are the girls that buy the Bratz and who does not play much video games. It would be a bit more elegant to completely fill the feature, but it's fun and it is possible to do as a group activity - I see, for example for me how to hire a local neighborhood, borrow up all the checks you can come over and have a girl party for his ten year old. I have not tried multiplayer, but suspect that skilled players can not compensate for the weaker players in the squad. I guess everyone must be successful for routine to be successful. It makes me suspect that the multiplayer can be quite frustrating.
big plus for the track list: it is not my tune, but it is the first cheer-game for the Wii, which coughed up money for school drop tracks and club classics instead for homegrown midi mupperier - it makes the game is enjoyable and makes it especially equipped to meet their specific audience. It IS fun to wiggle butt to Star with Erasure and Body Rock by Moby, I Want Candy and Whoomp! There It Is! than to home-cheers. As can be seen here where people with better coordination than I have put their efforts into public view:
Anyone who is interested in cheerleading do probably better to buy All Star Cheer Squad - learn routines will be developed by the choreographer who made arrangements to bring it on - but if you want to have fun, look at the cute manga characters and sweating as it gets well with We Cheer.
* Kawaii - Japanese word used for to emphasize that something is so cute, so you die. Things that are kawaii is also often "chibi" - eg. "Small", but in a figurative meaning referred to something that is childishly cute proportions: small cells, big eyes and big, round heads. An example of a figure who is both kawaii and chibi is Chiyo-chan in manganese Azumanga Dai-Oh:
girl in the picture has not written the letter, but when she grows up she will become a cheerleader.

The regularity of the writing is not so great. Stupidly enough, not a LiveJournal calculator so you do not know if anyone is reading. Please write a comment to let me know. It is more fun that way, although I mostly write for myself.
So I have been to the movies. Men Who Hate Women, a film by Stieg Larsson's novel of the same name. It was a decent movie. It was so faithful to the book as a movie can be. The book contains enormous amount of detail and a lot of internal monologues, so as to make it fully faithful is of course not. It was basically just a simplification that bothered me: Mikael Blomkvist incentive to finally take the job disappeared and so did perhaps his willingness to resolve the case a bit "out of character". Other things in the film that did not fit with my image, was more because I had imagined Mid different, but the parts were ok.
Actor effort was solid, although I was a bit difficult for both Sven-Bertil Taube and Mikael Nykvist. Nykvist most of the roles he had in recent times and giving stupid associations in certain situations. Those feel-good movies for middle-aged women are a bit creepy. Naomi Rapace effort Lisbeth Salander was very good, especially where there's a physical similarity with the book's description that was striking and a bit sulky, almost Asbergers-like, she did good.
Already in the book bothered me that I Lisbeth using Macintosh computers. Of course it is not film the couple's fault, but it feels not right. No self-respecting hacker would use these admittedly great-looking machines with polished user interface.
Definitely worth seeing, but when you have to pay 110 bucks to go to the movies, you get download will at least two films for compensate for the sugar price. SF, like his claim in advance for that.
