Erotica is porn in black and white. Possibly with a story. - Andy Bold

You mean erotica isn't just porn in written form? Interesting. - CAJ, somewhere else

Course it isn't just written. Erotic photogaphy, for example, doesn't HAVE to be pornographic. - Nine

Talking photography here. The black and white distinction came up. - Admiral Anika

In that case, not overtly explicit, but still sexual. - Nine

I have a friend who is an erotic photographer. Mostly lesbians, always full penetration, yet her photographs are tasteful and always in b/w. Others are calling that porn, yet there's nothing really crass about her photos. There's a lot of emotion to them and it's not just sexual. - Admiral Anika

Here in Norway we use a legal distinction as only erotica and not porn are allowed on tv/dvd/etc. (why did you think we have such high broadband internet coverage?:)). Apparently, erected penises and/or moving genitalia is porn. - Thomas Bøhm from BuddyFeed

Moving genitalia in sexual conduct that is. Most lesbian porn is ok though so it's fair to say the lawmakers were pretty clueless. - Thomas Bøhm from BuddyFeed

Wait, you guys don't have porn on DVD in Norway? - Admiral Anika

Of course we do, it's sold just off the border in Sweden;) To be fair I don't think the Police are actually enacting it anymore, because it doesn't make sense, but it's still the law. - Thomas Bøhm from BuddyFeed

Why? lol - nakachi

I think it's an old law from the seventies when porn was mostly for straight men and demeaning to women. - Thomas Bøhm from BuddyFeed

@Durukan Duru "straight" in what sense? ;D - enza (aka iVenus)

Erotica is what you tell people you look at. Porn is what you look at. - Iain Baker

Yes, I mean, they do it in porn, directly, but in erotica, they make you do it in your head. You are more impressed by things you don't see so directly. - Durukan Duru

@Iain...that was awesome. - Admiral Anika

Iain +rep btw - Durukan Duru

porn seems so... crass and icky. if it doesn't leave you feeling like a dirty perv, it's not porn. - tiffany

I think, if two women come by, one naked and one dressed in an erotic way, after a few seconds you'll be more interested with the dressed one, because you'll wonder.. - Durukan Duru

Abso-smurfly not. - Roger Benningfield

I think they should handle this with the current "disability" access system (however they handle the parking permits, etc.) because most private business are total crap at implementing something like this on their own. I don't mind walking a little extra distance at the super market, but I'm not sure why the local one needs both 20 disabled spaces an an extra 10 expectant mother spots. I think those women should get to use the disabled slots as they are rarely all used, and they're closer. - Jennifer Dittrich

Let me rephrase. Of those who say "no", have you been pregnant? - Rochelle

I don't think so. - Roger Benningfield

I can get behind Jennifer's solution of letting them just get temp disabled tags. - Matthew DeVries

Jennifer, I'm not sure about other states, but WA state does allow pregnant women to use disabled parking spots, as long as they get a temporary disability parking permit. - Rochelle

yes, especially on public transport or public parking - Steve C

K, we got that fixed. Next issue? We should have the world fixed by tuesday. - Matthew DeVries

why should they not get special priviledges eh ? after all , if somethings happens to the women, the law generally tends to smack you for injury's of 2 people.. correct ? - Peter Dawson

No. The extra discomfort is good practice for what's to come. - Mark H

Mark, what do you mean? When I was pregnant, I had my pubic bone separate. It's not an uncommon complication. However, I'm not sure how a broken pubic bone prepared me for having a child. - Rochelle

I think they should get to drive in the carpool lane. :) - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I'm going with "no" . Only because I see too many pregnant women in public places who expect *everything* to be handed over to them, and expect to be waited on hand and foot. Yeah, I get allowing them to park close to a facility because walking is tough for them, and I understand other small things too. Special treatment? No. You're pregnant, not handicapped. - Candace

Candace, this post is about allowing them to park close to a facility, not about "special treatment". Am I missing something? - Rochelle

I skimmed the article and it basically said people should be courteous (duh), and the expectant should not take advantage of it (duh)... so what's the issue? - LogEx

I don't mind the courtesy. The sign that gives priveledges to parents of young children, I do not. It's enough to endure them in the store, in the theater, in a resturant. No breaks for you! - Mike Lewis

As with anything, special privileges should be a case by case basis. Some women are so high risk that they'll miscarry if they sneeze wrong. - Jess

Rochelle, by forcing pregnant women to park far away it helps them both to get extra exercise and to build up more of a tolerance towards the pain and anguish of childbirth. I realise it's not a popular viewpoint so I won't be suggesting it should I ever run for political office. - Mark H

I'm not even as open-minded as Candace. "Pregnant" is no more a disability than "fat ass", a "disability" with which I am intimately familiar. - Roger Benningfield

Jess: In those cases, I'd have no problem giving someone a temp disability sticker or something. - Roger Benningfield

@Mark I can see where you are going, but like Rochelle said, pregnancy can cause major discomforts to a woman that really has nothing to do with exercise. - Shevonne

Mark, that's sweet and all, but uninformed. My experience with childbirth, for example, was pain-free. No anguish involved. And like Shevonne said, exercise has nothing to do with any of it. - Rochelle

@Rochelle, I understand courtesy and think they do deserve that. Parking close to a facility is fine, or allowing them to rest somewhere, etc. etc. However, the article mentioned a woman in a restaurant and what happened with her. To me, that's what I see as pregnant women who expect special treatment. My cousin felt like the world owed her a favor when she had a baby. She wanted to be... more... - Candace

Somewhat related: Older generations were smart to tell men to give up seats to women. Today you're expected to give up your seat only if she's pregnant or elderly. That puts you in the position of judging who's pregnant and who's elderly, and you insult her if you get it wrong. Men 50 years ago only had to judge who's female, and we're adequately good at that. - Bruce Lewis

the only special privilege would be to stop the tenure/promotion clock. you cannot be expected to publish or perish while expecting - enza (aka iVenus)

Honestly, no. To me, mothering is a choice, not a right. However, I'd go with Jennifer D.'s suggestion of allowing them to use handicapped parking spaces. Everything else should be set as common courtesy.

I also remember when those "reserved for expectant mothers" signs first popped at this shopping center I worked near in La Jolla. I was a little annoyed. - Helen Sventitsky

actaully on second thought, that is plain wrong.. .. how does an establishment figure out a painfull child bearing vs a normal child mother mother who has no ill effects ? "Pregnant" does NOT equal "disablity" !~! - Peter Dawson

@Helen There are also the "Parent with small children" parking spots. Do those bother you as well? Just wondering @Bruce I feel sorry for men nowadays. - Shevonne

Is there no common sense don't be a dick issue we can't deconstruct and mental masturbate ourselves into overanalyzing ecstasy? Come the fuck on. It's a pregnant chick. She just wants a parking spot. Just say yes and go on with your day? - Matthew DeVries

@Shevonne, they wouldn't bother me as much, other than the necessity for them being there in the first place. Would small children pertain to two or three year olds? Carrying small kids in carriages? That I could probably understand. - Helen Sventitsky

My wife is pregnant, I'm going to go with no on this one if we're talking a bulk "You're pregnant, you can park here" type of rule. IF you're in your later stages of pregnancy, I'd be ok with the parking pass, but not for the full 9 months. - Brandon Mendelson

Matthew, IMO, it's not a "don't be a dick" issue. It's just that there are some here who wonder why certain privileges would be given to a segment of our population who chose to be pregnant. Personally, I would put pregnant women in the "temporarily handicapped" area and treat it accordingly, which, according to Rochelle, is already being done in WA. I don't think anyone's here is... more... - Helen Sventitsky

@Rochelle - that's one of the things I like about WA; I figure that puts it in the category of any other health-related issue: if it is really difficult, due to a medical condition, to do certain things, then we have an OK system in place to help handle that :) - Jennifer Dittrich

I'm ambivalent. I had to be on "modified bedrest" so on the rare occassion that I could go out and about I think a disabled permit would have been appropriate. I would rather see more family friendly parking spaces (like at IKEA) then spaces specifically designed for pregnant women though. - adf

Matthew: Why does it matter that she's a pregnant chick? What if she's just a 250lb chick? Or a 300lb dude? Or a dude with really bad allergies, who needs to get inside the store as quickly as possible? Or a chick whose "office dress" policy requires her to wear heels, even on a slippery, rain-soaked day? There are lots of people who have issues, and I'm not sure why we would single out one specific group for special attention. - Roger Benningfield

And that notsuredness is why stupid courtesy laws are needed. - Matthew DeVries

Matthew: Not everyone worships the womb. - Roger Benningfield

Thus: The need for the laws, cause people won't do the right thing out of common sense any more. - Matthew DeVries

Yes - Janet

Hey, I don't drive, and I don't think I've ever gone through a public door without holding it for a woman, an elderly person, a disabled person, or even a smaller guy. Courtesy is cool. It's the whole "I breed, therefore I am" ethos to which I object. You can be a dick to virtually anyone in this society, no matter what their situation, and most people will just shrug and go on. But if there's a kid involved, people lose their frakkin' minds. - Roger Benningfield

Welcome to social contract of the country in which you chose to live. Sorry you had the wire-mother. Have a fruit roll-up. - Matthew DeVries

Y'mean the same social contract that also demands that the icky homos stick to the closet, and expects Muslims to just man up and accept that this is a Christian nation? There are plenty of flaws in that unsigned deal, and telling people to shut up and accept it never got us anywhere. - Roger Benningfield

Nope, not that one. - Matthew DeVries

See, there's yer problem... you haven't read the fine print! :) - Roger Benningfield

Roger think you're making yourself sound harsh, but above you commented that in cases where the woman is at a health risk, you would make certain allowances. So it's up to the doctors to decide who those women are. Which makes it easier for men to chose old fashioned chivalry to all pregnant women and/or kindness to a person (pregnant or not) in need. - Jess

I am oh-so-amused at how this went from "be nice to pregnant ladies" to "icky homos stick to the closet". - Rochelle

ABSOLUTELY - Tamar Weinberg

Rochelle: No, it went from "should pregnant women get special privileges" to "that's the social contract, shut up". - Roger Benningfield

And Roger in a fit of trueness decided to attach a bunch of effed up riders to the social contract, hoping the executive would sign it with them in there. Now the shit's gotta go back to committee. Oh bother. - Matthew DeVries

Matthew: I didn't add 'em... they've been there all along. - Roger Benningfield

Yes. I think so. In Australia we have 'Parents With Prams' spaces close to the door, often next to the disabled spots. While they are not enforceable by fines like that of disabled spots, they are governed by the public law of "Really mate? You're in a sports car and you couldn't park 8 spots down. You're a fuckwit". This is not so much a 'privilege' so much as a safety issue. Having... more... - Johnny Worthington

Jess: I probably am coming off more harshly than intended. Because I'm cool with helping anyone in need. Pregnant, broken leg, heat sensitivity, trying to carry too many packages... you name it. But here's the ugly reality...

Absolutely YES! I have also seen spots designated for moms with babies only. - Elena

When I was 28 weeks pregnant, I flew from EWR to FLL on Continental Airlines. I was uncomfortable and wanted to get on the plane early to avoid being bonked by some suitcase. The agent at the gate yelled at me and said I couldn't board early because "pregnancy is not a disability." One of the mothers nearby muttered, "um, yeah it is." I, too, was appalled. I filed a complaint against the agent and corporate told me they put the agent back in training. - Tamar Weinberg

"However, I'm not sure how a broken pubic bone prepared me for having a child." Exactly, Rochelle. I'm in super pain where I walk right now and I'm not sure how this is going to prepare me for motherhood. I'm certain with all the discomfort I'm going through (33 weeks now) that life will be *easier* when the kid is born. I even expect to actually sleep. Yes, I'll *definitely* get more sleep with a kid to breastfeed given the circumstances at the present. I don't think that some people get it. - Tamar Weinberg

I wasn't going to say anything else and just let it go rather than explain to Shevonne and Rochelle but, since Tamar brought up the broken pubic bone again I suppose I should just clarify: I was not being serious when I was suggesting women should walk to get them in shape for childbirth. When it comes to some people not getting it ... well, there, I've said it. Sarcasm, I know, doesn't always come across in written form. I'm very, very sorry. That wasn't sarcasm, by the way. - Mark H

Usually I don't bitch about things, but I have to say this. People, we are on the Internet and many of us don't know one another. How can someone possibly know if someone is serious or not? Can we see your body language or tone of voice? No, so you shouldn't get pissy because we didn't pick up on your sarcasm. - Shevonne

I wasn't being pissy. I was trying to stop others from assuming I'd been serious. But thank you for telling me not to be pissy without being pissy. - Mark H

All women deserve special privelages. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) from fftogo

I think so yes, it just makes things a little bit easier for those who might be uncomfortable at the late stages and such. I remember my friend being really emotional at about 6/7 months gone and just needing to get things done without hassle. Sometimes it was easier for everyone else too ;) - Charlotte M

Just in case anyone misunderstood me, I'm with Mark. I KNOW women are allowed to drive and I don't have a problem with it. That was also sarcasm. Though no one seems to have been either amused or offended. Nevermind. - Nathan Rein

Sorry Mark -- I made a general statement not really directed at any particular individual. In fact, I moused over your name and figured you were being sarcastic after reading your bio, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem that Roger was. I'm fairly certain that if I was a non-pregnant "fat-ass," I still wouldn't be as uncomfortable as I am right now. - Tamar Weinberg

just blogged about a miserable conference on the weekend (not mentioning the association name or participants) and just moments later, one of the session organizers follows me on Twitter. Hopefully, she won't read my post? What do you think the chances of that are? :(

Was the experience bad because the conference was poorly run? She needs to hear that if they plan on doing more conferences. - Admiral Anika

@Anika, it's more a political thing...the conference organizer has way too much clout and the power to make life difficult for people in the field. Think I'll just need to boycott this conference :( - enza (aka iVenus)

Ah, I see...that is touchy. Boycotting the conference is a good idea unless you need the networking opportunity. - Admiral Anika

"It would appear that Twitter has launched a brand new format for their new follower E-mails that they send out to users opting to be notified of new followers. The e-mails are now in a pretty HTML format, include the new follower's name, Twitter username, and picture. They also include the number of updates, number of people they follow, and number of followers they have. While users aren't given the option to follow straight from the e-mail, you can block the user by clicking on a link in the e-mail." - from Louis Gray: http://friendfeed.com/louisgr... - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

I don't see the issue with the current question. For certain users, it's still applicable. They should perhaps consider adding a second question though, with answers to each aggregated into separate streams. That way, you know what you're getting. - TheLovableRogue

"What are you thinking?" is being push by @jayrosen from NYU. He has dubbed it "mindcasting". - Meryn Stol

For your consideration: - Denise Aday

I like Robert's response. Rather than simply talking about "I'm brushing my teeth", it should be about "what would you like to talk about?". It's all about conversation. - Kenneth

Why is it all about conversation? My mom likes my status updates. - Daniel J. Pritchett from IM

What are you thinking? seems to be the obvious one. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

The keyword is share. It needs be something like 'What would you like to share?' Ideally, though, I think Twitter should randomize 5-10 different questions (share/say/discuss/something about photos, etc), or run them sequentially each time the user logs in, so they get the full idea of what you can do on the service. And one of them should still be 'What are you doing?', as not every tweet can be a Pulitzer prize-winner. - Shéa Bennett

twitter is different things for different users..I dont think we need guidelines for it. - Samuel Lewis from twhirl

Daniel - I personally think it should be about conversation because I think that it would be great to have more dialog rather than one-sided conversation. Your mom may like that your status updates but that's for Facebook, not for Twitter. - Kenneth

For proper conversation we need one-click access to threaded tweets. I blogged about this essential feature, and some others I'd like to see, earlier today. http://twittercism.com/five-fe... - Shéa Bennett

what's wrong w. someone using Twitter to say what they are doing? I mean I see where you are coming from that if everyone always did this type of tweet it would get old really reaaally quick-LOL. but don't you think the democracy, if you will, of being able to say whatever u want-in 140 char. is what makes Twitter so beautiful? - Benin Brown from fftogo

Yes, there's always a place for the inane, and of course the definition of what that means is a very relative observation. Believe me, lots of folk think tech is inane. *Lots*. :) - Shéa Bennett

"What's on your mind?". It fits if you are posting a link or trying to have a conversation. *edit* of course, since I haven't used facebook on anything other than my blackberry in a long time, I completely forgot that was what they asked. oops :) - Matt Thompson from fftogo

'What have you done for others' might be cool? - Nicholas Chase

Cracked up on Shéamus saying inane is very relative... you know my family??? - Jim Espinoza

I just commented on this earlier today: "Instead of answering Twitter's 'What are you doing?', you should answer 'What am I good at?'" - Erik K Veland

What about not asking a question, but instead put an instruction - 'Post Your Update Here'? I've had dozens of folks new to Twitter tell me that the reason it took them so long to send their first tweet, was because they weren't clear on how to do it. - Sharon McPherson

"Post Something" - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

I think the question, although it may be an initial prompt for tweeps, becomes quickly ignored for other tweets. The earliest study on Twitter (a Master's thesis at the London School of Economics and Political Science in late 2007) indicated that less than half the tweets were actually answering that over-arching question. Here is the link to the thesis, if you are interested. http://www.lse.ac.uk/collect... - enza (aka iVenus)

Some amazing stuff here! Thanks for your thoughts everyone! - Brian Solis

Let's answer questions that force us to think about the updates we wish to galvanize action, response, connections, learning, et al, such as "what inspires you," "what did you learn today," “who should we pay attention to and why,” "what are we better off for knowing now because we follow you," etc. We need to stop tweeting "at" followers and start listening to the things that help us... more... - Brian Solis

Brian, I think that you have some great Ideas there about the Social Web, but getting folks to realize it's a privilege is going to be a tough one to get across. They don't even grasp that concept with Drivers License in California, and you have many, many police folk and a much over used court system reinforcing that idea on a regular basis. - Brent Smorgen Bleg

i punti che mi colpiscono di più sono la negazione della vecchiaia e dell'espressione e il fatto che oggi donne che mettono in gioco - e a poco prezzo - il loro corpo in questo modo vengano ritenute libere e realizzate.

When do I know it's time for new running shoes? How long til I have to get new ones? Thanks!

Your shoes get about 75 - 100 miles. Most runners I know replace every 4 months. It depends on how often you run. I have a pair here that are about a year old because according to my logs, I've only run about 65 miles in them and walked about 30. I'll be getting a new pair soon. - Admiral Anika

Thanks Anika. Can you feel it though when they are run down? I have these sneakers I've had for almost a year, but they seem ok. - Shevonne

I've found that you become accustomed to them feeling "ok" until you get a new pair and realize when you wear them the first few times that the previous ones were worn out. - enza (aka iVenus)

Thanks eac! Anika and you have convinced me to get new running shoes. =D - Shevonne

Check your treads especially if you're an overpronater like I am. EAC is right, sometimes it takes getting new shoes to make you realized how worn down your old ones are. - Admiral Anika

Though I'm a walker, not a runner, I believe in every 6 months (I'm walking 25km a week) - Rosie Peters

I've heard to get a few pairs and sort of rotate them, but not so they all wear down evenly... more like, you want to have a mix of new-to-old in your rotation so that you aren't grossly thrown off like you would be if you just switched from a single old pair to a single brand new paid. - Andrew C

Thanks Anika for the information and Shevonne for asking. My running shoes probably have about 300 miles between treadmill and work. - Janet

Anika, that doesn't seem to add up to me. I wouldn't consider someone a "runner" who goes less than a mile on foot every day.... I replace shoes when the heel starts to separate or develops a hole too large to ignore, basically. - Karl Knechtel

about.com says 350-550 miles. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od... ... by the time sneakers get that beat up karl, all shock absorption is gone and you're increasing your risk for injury. - tiffany

Yeah. To be fair, I really don't do much running. But I do a hell of a lot of walking. :) And I like to wear thick socks. :) - Karl Knechtel

also depends on the surface you run on etc. Good rule is about 300-500 miles for a decent pair of running shoes. Use them ( only to run in until they are older - than use them for general use. ( then use them to paint or garden in and then recycle them :) - Tracy Benham
