Teach Women Not To Rape
A former middle school teacher in Florida pleaded guilty to having sex with a 14-year-student in her car and in a barn — and is now facing up to 10 years in prison.
Stephanie Peterson, 27, who previously taught at New Smyrna Beach Middle School, pleaded guilty Tuesday as part of a plea deal to lewd or lascivious battery sex act with a child and transmission of harmful material to minors by electronic means, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports.
Peterson, of New Smyrna Beach, was arrested by deputies in Volusia County in February after she allegedly picked up the eighth-grade student at his home before having sex in her home and her car. They also had sex in a barn behind the student’s house between November 2017 and January, court documents show.
Grown women having sex with 14 year old boys is just another reason to repeal the 19th.
Kale vs. Grass Clippings – You Decide
It makes sense that Kale would be dangerous given it evolved in an evolutionary war against those that dare to eat its leaves from aurochs to insects. One powerful weapon it possesses is lectins, which many of you recognize as a serious danger to human health, implicated in manyautoimmune illnesses and other inflammatory disorders. The lectins in kale and other related species are very similar to the equally dangerous wheat germ agglutinin lectin.
Some people think that kale and other related vegetables prevent cancer, but large-scale epidemiological studies have shown no such effect and their phytochemicals may even cause cancer. For example, indole and its derivatives have been shown to promote many types of cancer, possibly by causing hormone imbalances or by stimulating the cyt-P450 pathway that produces genotoxic metabolites. If you already have cancer, it can promote further growth and the so-called “antioxidants” which people think are so healthy can prevent your body from fighting the cancer effectively.
Up the Academies! Get the Ladies on the Gridiron

Beside, we know from the movies, that a 40- or 50-pound weight advantage in any physical conflict is cancelled out, if the lighter combatant is female. This should work as well on the football field as it does in hand-to-hand combat.
Pretty good stuff and really it’s just an agree and amplify of the current nonsense of women in combat roles. If women can be placed in life and death situations like infantry combat, to deny them their rightful places on the football field would be the height of misogyny!
Help To “Get ‘R Done” In Half The Time?
So not only did sleep lead to a higher level of performance after the same amount of practice, but when participants returned to the same material, it helped them reach the desired level of performance in half the time?
This would imply a huge time and effort savings. Because if we can hop into the practice room in the morning, and work a piece back up to a higher level than it was the day before in half the time it would normally take, we could use that extra time and energy to do so much more detail work, or spend time on other repertoire.
And with regards to memory, it gets even better.

Been trying off and on to learn guitar (and a couple other things) for the last couple of years. Gonna give this a try and see if it helps any.

Taylor “Nut-So” Swift Is Proof That The Wall Is There For All Women
h/t Heartiste
A chunky-style Taylor Swift attended some awards thingy tonight. She’s packed quite a few pounds on below the neck while also shedding most of her brain cells re: her recent political swipes at conservatives and backing socialist candidates in Tennessee.
At almost 29, T-Swaddles is nearing impact with the wall and cat-lady-dom. All the more sad when you can recall how insanely hot she was in her younger days.
Wondrous Woman — Splendid Isolation
Longtime Readers of this website will know that despite its several formats, there has been one constant, to whit the statement that Lynda Carter is one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. So without further preamble: No need to thank me; it’s all part of the service.
via Wondrous Woman — Splendid Isolation
Oh, hells yeah! Lynda Carter FTW. There’s a chicken place close to work that has a near full size poster of her as WW on the wall. I sit across from it every time I eat there.
Sunday Morning Saturday Wrap-Up
Good stuff.
Unranked Florida beats #5 LSU. We beat Florida.
Unranked Miss St. beats #8 Auburn. We beat Miss St.
Unranked Texas A&M beats #13 Kentucky.
Kentucky has scored 7 points on offence in the last 6 quarters and didn’t give the ball to Bennie Snell in OT against A&M? Coaches forgot to bring their brains to College Station. Sad.
