So, I’m making a mix cd for my 9 year old daughter of some music I think she should know. Over the years she has heard my music and I have filled an MP3 player for her with stuff she wanted but I feel this will be her grrrl band education, so to speak. This is what I have:

A few good pubs (with or without bands) all within walking distance.

Well, fuck.
There are entire religions that don’t believe in ‘modern medicine’. Yet we don’t go to great lengths to bar everyone in the country from access to medicine & healthcare just because certain people are religiously opposed to it.
I think “well, fuck” sums it up nicely.
Where did all of these cars come from?
So I’ve had this growing pet peeve @ work I want to vent. I work in a small shopping plaza located along a busy street. In our plaza we have a Starbucks, a tanning salon, a cell phone store, and a couple other businesses.
We have a super crowded and super busy parking lot. We get a bit of foot traffic, and of course the Starbucks and tanning place have a lot of people in & out all day...

This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing “wealth gap” in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Johnson, who cut his film teeth at NYU and made the Emmy®-nominated 2003 HBO documentary Born Rich, here sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale...
rivertrash-deactivated20130211 asked: Agreed!!! Sometimes you gotta just feed your kids and shit, and put in that position, I can't guarantee what I would do.
I for the most part give my zine away, because I don't want to make money off it. So I sort of consider myself a "working artist" too. I guess. Getting used to that idea, now that I am actually producing media.

Public Schools Charge Kids for Basics & Frills →
I don’t like charging kids/parents extra for any school-related activities as it just widens the gap between the rich & poor.
I also think that the ‘extras’ have as much value as the regular education. I’m confused about requiring parents to pay for their kid to take Spanish I, as I’m pretty sure you’re required to take 3 years of foreign language in HS in...

As a male therapist myself, I’m especially interested in hearing responses to this recent piece in the New York Times about the dwindling number of male therapists in the field (according to this piece, it’s down to about 10% of all therapists in practice).

rivertrash answered your question: I hate when products on amazon only have 2 or 3 reviews, and one of them is 1-star and the other is 5-stars how much do you want to spend? the USB ones are pretty decent. direct-drive is better than belt-drive, but more expensive.
Not a lot - a quick search through amazon this morning makes me think that I’m probably looking at $75-$100 minimum for...

Does it mean the product is awesome and the 1-star person either can’t figure it out or got a lemon, or does it mean the product generally sucks, and the 5-star person just got lucky?
That said, I’m trying to research turntables - although I’m hoping to stumble across one at a thrift store or yard sale or something - so for those of you who know about these things, do you have...
