Michael Kimmel notes: Typically, each nation constructs a model of masculinity against which each man measures himself. This hegemonic image of manhood is constructed often through articulation of differences with a variety of "others"-- racial or sexual minorities, and, of course, women. The hegemonic definition of masculinity is "constructed in relation to various subordinated masculinities as well as in relation to women," writes sociologist R. W. Connell (1987, p. 183). http://bradley.chattablogs.com/archives/2011/05/do-we-need-to-l.html

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bar%20golf A fun, challenging, often vomit-inducing college sport. The rules are simple. Players travel to 18 bars (the front and back 9 may be played on separate nights), and an hour (or half-hour if you want to make it intense) is allotted for each bar. Teams of 1 lady and 1 gentlemen are set up and score cards are distributed.

(Cross-posted on the Code and Chrome Blogs) A little less than two years ago we set out to make computers much better . Today, we’re announcing the first Chromebooks from our partners, Samsung and Acer. These are not typical notebooks. With a Chromebook you won’t wait minutes for your computer to boot and browser to start. You’ll be reading your email in seconds. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-kind-of-computer-chromebook.html

Swords for Crosses

http://www.jesusradicals.com/swords-for-crosses/ The relationship between the church and the nation state is no new discussion. Certainly it is something that is engrained within the very fabric of our society. Whether it is on the news, at the water cooler, or via bumper-stickers, we don’t have to search very hard to listen in on discourse concerning church and state. Phrases like, “God Bless America”, “One nation under God”, and others have many people convinced that we live in a Christian nation.
I 've had a number of conversations lately where, not surprisingly, the topic shifts to Rob Bell's Love Wins . That's when a strange dynamic creeps into some conversations. If the person with whom I'm talking has read my review of the book, or knows I had some critical things to say, he's naturally hesitant to openly praise the book. The usual first move at that point is to say, "I don't agree with everything in the book, but …" And what follows is hardly unalloyed enthusiasm. It's usually a qualified, almost worried appreciation for this part or that. It's as if some people feel guilty for liking the book.

Of all the dangerous ideas that health officials could have embraced while trying to understand why we get fat, they would have been hard-pressed to find one ultimately more damaging than calories-in/calories-out. That it reinforces what appears to be so obvious—obesity as the penalty for gluttony and sloth—is what makes it so alluring. But it’s misleading and misconceived on so many levels that it’s hard to imagine how it survived unscathed and virtually unchallenged for the last fifty years. http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/low-carb-library/why-we-get-fat/

Training the Obese Beginner

Ok, as promised, I want to continue writing from a comment I made last Friday in Fasted Cardio and Fat Loss – Q&A and attempted to bridge with Tuesday’s Biggest Loser Feedback where an actual show contestant was kind enough to detail some of what they go through to get the amazing results. I’d note that comments or questions regarding the training of the extremely obese beginner often come up on the support forum so my hopes are that this article will cover those as well. As usual, I’m going to be a bit long-winded so I’m going to divide this up into two parts. Today I want to focus mainly on some of the underlying physiology that occurs in the obese (and make no mistake, what I want to cover won’t be anywhere close to comprehensive; I’ll focus on issues relevant to fat loss); next Tuesday I want to look at some practical issues that I find many forget when they give advice and/or train the obese hands-on.

I think it was last year some time that Time magazine ran an article to the effect of “Exercise will make you fit but it won’t make you thin.” I remember someone asking me about this (it might have been my mom) and I wasn’t really sure what the issue was; I had written back in my first book The Ketogenic Diet about some of the realities of exercise and fat loss. Most of my other books have at least dealt with the issue to some degree. I suppose the issue isn’t really one of the realities of exercise and fat/weight loss but rather how the message was misinterpreted. Many have held up exercise as some sort of panacea for all things, health, fitness and of course what everyone is really interested in: losing weight/fat and I suspect the message got a bit garbled as it so often does: people figured that they could do a bit of easy exercise and the pounds would just melt right off.

Exercise and Weight/Fat Loss: Part 1

Since the inception of cinema, movie posters have been used to promote films and create buzz. Just as the style of cinema has evolved, the design style of these promotional posters has changed. Poster printing was also a hard thing to get over in the early 1900s, the prices for the promotion images were high and not always easily printed. However things have changed int he modern day and age and as you’re about to see, the movie posters of the early 20th century are a far cry from what we see at the cinema today. The 1920s

How Big Is Your Limbal Ring?

Of all the qualities that give an attractive person an edge, here's one you've likely overlooked: the limbal ring, the dark circle around iris. The limbal ring is the line that separates the colored part of the eye from the white (the sclera). It's completely unconscious , the way we all judge others' limbal rings. In the 20 milliseconds or so it takes to assess a person's attractiveness, you're factoring in the size and shade of the limbal rings.
