I have Trichotillomania. And I can't bring myself to see a doctor about this..It started when I was 29..just out of the blue I started pulling my hair. Now ..it's really bad. I can't seem to find any help with this that doesn't involve medication. I'm hoping and praying there is some way to stop this... a way without meds. I don't know anyone else with this condition.. so any help and support would mean alot to me. I can't explain the loneliness and the hatred I feel toward myself for doing this.
Is there a way to stop pulling hair without meds? Please help?

Hi PureGrace,
I just recently read about trichotillomania. Please, see a doctor! Medication and therapy seem to be a good solution for your problem.
From what I gather tis an OCD type of thing, am I correct?
I hate to think of you going through your life not loving yourself! We must love ourselves to be truly able to love others, right?
May I ask you why you don't want to see a doctor? Have you tried meds and had a bad experience? If so, please try again? There is hope, but you must resign yourself to being a wee guinea pig for a while, to get any medication to work for you, and to try different meds as well. I know you don't want meds!! I don't want to take meds for my fibromyalgia and anxiety, yet I do, and my life is much better with the meds.
Loneliness also has a solution, you've just got to get your self loathing and 'habit' under control first, then things will all fall into place. Easier said than done, I know. But you must try!! Fight with everything in you to find a doc that can help you PureGrace. There is a great big lovely world awaiting you.
Best wishes,
sweet lemon

Puregrace, i used to have that from about 5 years old till mid thirties! It was my shame habit. Long story short i didnt eveb know it had a name till i was quite older. I have tons of thick hair so i only did it where it couldnt be seen. I stopped when i straightened out why i did it. It was a way to deal with stress and anxiety (was abused by brother but was unaware of it till much older) it has psycholical basis so no meds necessary, just soul searching and self knowledge with good therapist. Ask yourself why would you want to hurt yourself instead of dealing with whatever hurt you are trying to avoid? Make me friend and we can talk if u like, minda

Fiscotaurus by HyrotrioskjanWatch
©2013-2016 Hyrotrioskjan
This time male and female of one species.
Fiscotaurus is a small and harmless cuspipodid, but it's a good organism to describe the reproduction strategy of this clade.
In the case of Cuspipoda only the males produce reproductive cells (which are similar to sperm). They produce them in the Exouterus and conduct them into a special bag near the eyes where they are packed to spermatophores. These packets are handed over to the female by an stiff cannula. Some species can knock off these structures after the mating so that the female can be only copulated by one male. Other species don't posses this alien penis/vagina and transfer the spermatophores orally (there are evidences that females can have a tastegasm).
The spermatophores are slide through an channel into the Exouterus of the female. Here they enter into an organ which looks a bit like a lung. The shell around the spermatophres mold away and the reproductive cells are spread within the Exouterus. That's the moment when the female slaugh this organ. This have a simple reason.
The productive cells of male cuspipodids are working much more like viruses than it's earthly counterpart do it. The sperm not only attack reproductive cells but all cells of the female it can find.
When a spermatozoon has found a cell which it can enter... it enter, and the two cell cores fuse. from this moment on the real run of survival beginns, the newborn cuspipodid is very predatory and feed on all other cells around it, even it's brothers and sisters. The gender of the new liveform is decided by the epigenetic programm of the cell the spermatozoon enter.
When the embryo is six times bigger than it's original form it stops to eat its siblings. Now it use its new, microscopic radula like organs to feed on the material around it. Before the mating the female moved some extra nutrients into the Exouterus to provide a good start for its offspring. After a few days/weeks the up to 800 embryos have absorbed everything but the shell of it's incubator. Now they pupating and form themselves into something which looks like an miniature form of an adult (but mostly without the often characteristic horns and crests). After hatching they leave the Exouterus and begin to search for food.
The famale used its after calws to give its children the best position for their first days out of the shell. Some species hang their Exouterus at the underside of an branch, others dig a hole with them and a few use their claws to sting into roots so that the small Cuspipoda can feed on the juice when they hatch.

This is what kids think how babies are made in humans lol
Aww! Lovers! <3
Haven't check your gallery for a while, this is what i got...
incredible, reminds me a Marrella splendens.
Ein Hoch auf Alien-Sex Gefällt mir wie detailliert du alles beschreibst
Really awesome work, such a unique and intersting breeding strategy!
The viral sperm is an interesting idea. One would think give the spike some of the Cuspipoda that a few of the species might be parasitic and lay/eject embryos into other species.
That's indeed a idea which is on my to-do list
er ...the spike that of the Cuspipoda HAVE, that a few...
Interesting breeding strategy but most importantly - Cool shape one of my favourites in alien animals I've seen. Also I can't elp to think it's head looks like an axe blade. and if some tiny intelligent race emerges on the planet one day it's gonna use them as such XD
well, I love axe-like shapes
No, they wouldn't use them as axes, they would domesticate them and ride them, because their horns are a bit formed like motor cycle handlebars
Very interesting.
You always have brilliant ideas my friend

'SNL' Star Kenan Thompson Improvs His Way Out of a Potty Predicament
'SNL' star Kenan Thompson is charged with careless driving, while his passenger pal gets nailed for marijuana possession. Could the two possibly be related?
Saturday Night Live cast member Kenan Thompson was charged with "careless driving" in his Cadillac Escalade Wednesday night in Jersey, says the Smoking Gun. (Can anyone drive a Cadillac Escalade in a manner that's other than careless, really? Barring long-term training in tank maneuvers? Anyway.) When the cops pulled the comedian over, they discovered that his passenger, Kyle Mosley, was harboring marijuana on his person, which is not only selfish, but also illegal. Mosley is facing possession and paraphernalia charges, but Thompson skated off with a tender slap on the wrist, leading us to considerably up our faith in his improv skills.

"St. Lucie County, Florida" Port Saint Lucie by HSC123
Port Saint Lucie Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 10 photos
St. Lucie County is one of the the most populous parts of Florida?s Treasure Coast. The county seat, Fort Pierce, is the gateway to the county?s Hutchinson Island beaches. Perched along the Intracoastal Waterway and part of the Atlantic, Ft. Pierce offers a lot in the way of water views and recreation with its downtown waterfront, marina, jetties, and beaches. I have not had the opportunity to explore much of the city, but I did drive there once with my wife after a day trip in Vero Beach just to basically say that we went there. Driving along A1A, we crossed one of Ft. Pierce's two main causeway bridges from the north barrier island to the mainland, and then took US 1 back. We could see a few condo towers along the beach, sailboats from the bridge, and well, the typical commercial fare found on U.S. 1. On previous trips, we also skirted Ft. Pierce's western fringe along both Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike.
While Ft. Pierce was once the county's largest city, it has actually been well surpassed in population by the surging inland boomtown of Port St. Lucie. The past few decades have seen the city of Port St. Lucie grow from a little-known backwater to a metropolis of over 100,000 residents. Despite its apparent residential appeal, the city is a swath of suburbia that seems to lack a clear focus. Port St. Lucie actually has no port; in fact, it is several miles from the coast, and I don't think it even has a "downtown." It is basically a giant bedroom community lacking a major city to affix itself to (unless you count the older but much smaller Ft. Pierce, which is 16 miles away). I've passed through this city on both Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike, and all I can say is that it looks like a collection of housing communities.

Good analogy?
If so, I thank you. It's fish like you who allow for even fundamentally poor poker players like myself to remain profitable.
You may fault yourself for not folding earlier (dumping last year contracts for 2006 players), or raising and giving yourself a chance to drive someone else out of the pot. But instead you played weak passive, limping and calling. And what do you hold? Nothing but a gutshot straight draw with one to go. Not to mention that there's already 3 clubs and a pair on the board. And yes that is STL representing the boat and HOU representing the flush. So you called off your chips with a draw for the third best hand.
But what's worse is now that you're already all-in (past the trade deadline) you're going to fold when it's free to see a showdown?
High quality. Are there any casinos on the North Side?
Oh and go Braves. Hopefully we can get in and out of town before Dusty's vibes rub off on the youngsters.

It's all well and good to
It's all well and good to look at what someone like Dontrelle Willis is doing now and say "the Cubs should have kept him," but he was a throw-in in a trade that netted the Cubs a solid three-year run of Matt Clement in the rotation. Look back at the coverage of the trade -- Willis was lumped in with the other two minor leaguers (Jose Cueto and Ryan Jorgensen) that the Cubs sent along with Tavarez to Florida. I would bet that very few people, even those in the Florida organization, expected him to be the key to that trade.
Nice to know some people
Nice to know some people noticed.
I've been working on a kinder, and gentler version of samclyatt in order to help me deal with the insanity of . . . . oops, I almost blew it right from the start. Silly me.
I also have figured out that there is more action on the blogsites than on the field from most of the players these days.
I know there is more passion on the blogsites than the whole collective Cub team has displayed since about two weeks after the second half started.
I expressed my doubts about this team early on, but in deference to those who were holding out some hope that it might possibly be the Chinese Year of the Magician, and that these guys would be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat, I postponed my annual playing of TAPS until now.
Enough is enough.
IMO anyone who still believes the Cubs will win the wild card has the faith of Abraham, the Old Testament patriarch, of whom the Bible says, "against hope, he believed in hope, and it was credited to him for righteousness." God Bless them. I'm not that strong in my faith in this team.
I hope Hendry makes liberal use of the few opportunities he has to pick up some bargains. Rusch, Williams, Walker, Burnitz, Perez, Macias, maybe Dempster are the 'usual' candidates if I were in his place, but most of you know that I have always said I would trade virtually anybody; so, if an opportunity did come along, I would not hesitate to unload virtually anybody. It just depends on what is available in return.
For next year, we have to get stronger up the middle. That might be a shopworn and tired mantra, but it is the tried and true method of building a team. When your catcher doesn't know what to do in a rundown, and your pitchers are either unable to or just refuse to cover first base, and your shortstop can't play because he is hurt, and your backup shortstop cannot hit for a sustained period of time, and your second baseman is hurt, and your backup second baseman is also your backup shortstop, and your centerfielder is Corey Patterson, then I rest my case about needing more strength up the middle.
When you couple that with the absolutely horrendous performance of the bullpen in critical situations throughout the season, the blowing of TAPS was, as suggested by Mr. Whipple a few weeks overdue. But, again, I'm trying to be Mr. Sensitivity now.
re: perez being resigned
re: perez being resigned next year and not nomar
i would assume that neifi would be used as the utility guy though...right? seriously though, there's no way they can have him come in as the starting shortstop. i have no problem with neifi on my team, as long as he's getting 200 ABs or less. he can play the 3 infield positions relatively well and isn't a terrible bench bat.
if he's back though, several things have to happen:
- another starting, you know, good shortstop has to be here (be it nomar, furcal or someone via trade)
- jose macias has to be gone. can't afford both of them on a 13 man hitting staff.
- this means that fontenot/cedeno or both are probably here to save money on your bench to hire you know, outfielders who can hit. as opposed to this year's crew.
I am surprised no one is
I am surprised no one is talking about Baker's post game comments about why Barrett was sent home. Basically saying we had to send Barrett because Corey was up to bat next.
Those comments by Baker go back to the heart of the matter of why he is a poor manager. If you have no confidence in Patterson then why do you continue to put him in the starting lineup? How about pinch hitting for him so you dont have to send the runner, ever thought of that? Naw, screw it, send the runner, blame it on Patterson. Its brilliant leadership.
"Sometimes you've got to send him even though you know the chance of him being out is good," Baker said.
You send a runner when the chances of him being safe are good. Examples of what Baker is saying is that you sometimes send a runner on shallow popflys to the SS, where the chance of him being out at home is good. Or running on Jim Edmonds or Wily Taveras on shallow singles to CF where the chance of the runner being out is good.
No runner should ever be thrown out by 40 feet. That is not taking chances. That is stupidity.
Also, just a question where
Also, just a question where I can I find the status of contracts with current players?
Hardball Dollars
Cot's Baseball Contracts
I will give the Cubs
I will give the Cubs franchise - when they crumble, they do it with style and flair.
It is Shakespearean tragic to see how badly this season is winding down.
I am almost speechless and stunned into silence.
At this point, I grow concerned about the mental scaring that is being left on the impressionable youth (notice I didn't mention good and youth in the same sentence about the Cubs, that would be blog suicide). Of course, I except Carlos from the scaring exercise - that boy is a madman.
So I will leave it to one of the great songwriters from my youth:
Meet the new boss, same as old boss.
I say fire em all and start completely from scratch. It sure as hell would be more interesting that what Hendry will sell us in 2006.
I personally thought it was
I personally thought it was a horrible decision by Speier, but Brenly backed it up. Surprised me. I'm not surprised to hear Dusty defend Speier, though. That's really what it is. In some quarters, backing up your staff is considered good leadership.
I'm surprised no one is
I'm surprised no one is talking about the comments, too, only because every single sentence Dusty utters is picked apart for weakness, paranoia, conspiracies, etc., by this crowd.
No good reason to pick apart
No good reason to pick apart Dusty's comments.
His actions are enough fodder to keep us busy until spring training.
The real problem is how Hendry approaches the offseason and what he sees as the solution to righting the ship for 2006 & out.
Again, I am no longer bullish on this franchises apptitude and ability to build a consistent winner.
Again, I say fire em all, gut the strcuture, throw away the debris and start over.

If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.

Richard Stoltzman: Phoenix in Flight
Clarinet virtuoso aside, the most intriguing thing about this album for classical music lovers is where it comes from. Phoenix in Flight is one of the debut releases from Navona records, the label imprint of the brand spanking new PARMA Recordings in Hampton, NH. It's not every day that someone puts up venture capital to jump into the lukewarm classical music business — especially in the shadow of established heavy weight MMC — but never say never on the ever creative New Hampshire seacoast. Founded by Bob Lord, the more-eclectic-than-thou bassist and composer for prog-rock trio Dreadnaught, Navona is trying to apply the grassroots philosophies of the indie music scene to classical recording. It's far too soon to tell how that will turn out or what it will mean for classical music lovers, but the fact that they were able to come out swinging with a heavyweight like Stoltzman makes me hopeful for more great recordings in the future. As far as coups go in the classical recording industry, this is a fairly big one.
Albums available at Amazon.com. Check out what's next for Navona at PARMA Recordings.

Original Message
Hi everyone.
I am new here, but I decided to join after a saw a reference to something I posted on YouTube.
One of the other thread here had a tiny excerpt of my notes from the Wilcock/Drake interview - where I referred to the Anti-Cabal Action Plan (ACAP).
This small excerpt was originally posted in the YouTube Comments section here:
link to www.youtube.com
I thought that it might be useful to post all the Notes in one place, so that people could find the whole Action Plan more easily. So here it is:
+ Collect evidence of bad behavior in high places (done, over decades)
+ Get international legal clearance for an action where US Federal Marshals would make arrests, supported by "white hats" from the US Military, but without the direct action of the military (done)
+ Prior to action being taken, there will be a Warning flashed 24 hours ahead (imminent?)
+ The "bad guys" will be arrested and put into the Fema Camps. Ironically, they had built these to house ordinary people during a planned NWO takeover, but now they may find themselves on extending "camping holidays" in the very place. (Planned)
+ Use the media to educate people about what is happening and why, using the web, AM radio, and other mainstream media where possible. (Planned. CD's which could pre-empt 5 days of normal programming have been prepared, and are ready for use. It is planned to have a single channel whose only programming is new information, to reveal the actual history of the Dark Cabal's attempts to run the world.)
+ If there is resistance, or non-acceptance, then a "show of power" will be done. This might be something like Switching Off Power across the country for 15 minutes, which was shown in the film, The Day the Earth Stood Still. (Planned, but without specifics or specific dates.)
+ Make an announcement from the White House of what is happening and why (Possible, but requires the support of President Obama, or a replacement.)
+ Much of the current mainstream media, and its figureheads will be replaced with new sources reporting real news, not celebrity porn, and programming.
+ Put in plan new leadership, and new institutions to replace those previously under control of the Cabal. (Planned)
+ There may be some sort of "truth and reconcilation" effort (ala Nelson Mandela's program in South Africa) where those who were involved, but reluctant participants rather than leaders, will be allowed to tell their stories about what was really going on, and gain some measure of redemption. (Planned)
+ Any executions (and there may be some) will happen in the context of evidence presented through the Truth and Reconciliation movement. (Planned)
Beyond these steps, the plan is sketchy.

text: We spent two nights at Casa Frati at the end of October 2012. The agriturismo is set in a beautiful hill overlooking Pienza and the surroundings. Our stay was a pure bliss from the beginning until the end. We were looking for an escape to the hectic everyday life and we found the perfect spot to relax! We stayed in a small apartment fully equipped close to the main house of the owners. Monica, the daughter of the owners, warmly welcomed us at their place. Breakfast was simple but very nice: home-made cakes and marmelades. We also chose to have dinner there one evening and that was one of the best meals we had...starter, first and second dish, dessert, wine, water, coffee for 20 euros each...all made with organic products of their farm! I would defenitely come back to Casa Frati and highly recommend this place if you are looking for a simple but friendly vacation in Tuscany :)

Trade in tasks represents the latest turn in a virtuous cycle of deepening specialisation of labour, expansion of the market and productivity growth. This paper analyses the task content of goods and services and sheds light on structural changes that take place following trade liberalisation.
Trade liberalisation in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, a major contributor to innovation and productivity growth, can help foster competition and reduce prices for consumers, according to this study.
Offshoring by OECD-based multinationals is mainly carried out in other OECD economies and often in high-cost countries, for high-value, knowledge-intensive activities. Developing economies must try to attract these types of activities and not be confined to low-value activities.
Emerging economies are increasingly important in the pharmaceutical sector as markets and as research and development (R&D) participants. Further involvement by these economies in international trade facilitating measures will help trade, innovation and globalisation of R&D.
Technology, lower transport costs and trade in intermediate inputs and tasks have given countries access to additional labour and capital than what is just available within their borders. Policy makers should focus on these changing dynamics in resource bases.
Access to international trade in intermediate inputs boosts innovation and productivity for domestic firms, according to this study. However, these dynamic gains from trade depend on complementary policies such as access to finance, access to skilled labour and macroeconomic stability.
A 50% reduction of trade barriers by G20 economies, complemented by active labour and adjustment policies, could generate more jobs, higher real wages and increased exports, according to new OECD analysis. (OECD Trade Policy Working Paper no. 107)

Open markets, complemented by properly designed employment and social policies, are essential to growth and job creation, says this joint report by the OECD, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Bank and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The chemicals sector has a long history of innovation and is a large trading item. This paper analyses and compares different trade and innovation linkages in basic industrial chemicals, specialty and fine chemicals and consumer chemicals.

Flyleaf Send a Message to Fans About Upcoming Texas Shows
Flyleaf make their return to Abilene on November 18th and they were kind enough to record a quick little video message about their upcoming shows in Texas.
Flyleaf make their return to Abilene on November 18th and they were kind enough to record a quick little video message about their upcoming shows in Texas.
It's been 4 years since Flyleaf have rocked out the masses here in Abilene. The rock gods have listened and Flyleaf will make their triumphant return on November 18th in support of their new EP "Who We Are".
The Lucky Mule will definitely be a packed house that night, so make sure you get your tickets early.
Two rock bands will put their newly chosen singers vocalists on display when they team up for a 2013 tour. Earlier this year, Flyleaf announced that Kristen May would front the band, taking over for Lacey Sturm who left after recording of the group's 'New Horizons' album. Meanwhile, Drowning Pool are touring in support of their first album with new frontman Jasen Moreno. The as-yet-untitled disc just yielded the single 'Saturday Night.'
As you're grabbing that sixer to kickstart your weekend, we're serving up a sixer of our own. The Sixer at 6 features 6 songs in a row from the band of your choice every Friday afternoon at 6pm.
Recently, Texas rockers Flyleaf announced that singer Lacey Sturum was no longer in the band. The scramble began to replace one of the best female singers in the rock genre. Well, it didn't take long for the band to find another singer and play a secret show in their home state of Texas.
Big news out of the Flyleaf camp today, as longtime lead singer Lacey Sturm has announced her departure from the band. The news comes right before the group's final album with Sturm, 'New Horizons,' will arrive in stores and online on Oct. 30 via A&M/Octone Records.
After debuting the title track several weeks ago right here on Loudwire, Flyleaf have announced that release date for their latest album 'New Horizons' will be Oct. 30 via A&M/Octone Records. The second single 'Call You Out' is now available, as well (listen below).
Flyleaf are gearing up to release their third studio album, 'New Horizons.' The Texas-based outfit first got together in 2000, and their sincere music has taken the rock world by storm since releasing their debut album in 2005. On the new disc, expect a well-rounded collection of hard-edged songs about rebirth and renewal.
Flyleaf, 'New Horizons'

Movies and shakers in Boston
- From: Escape
- December 25, 2011
GLEAMING glass towers from Boston Legal and boardrooms from Ally McBeal might be the Boston that jumps to mind. But you need only lightly scratch the Hollywood veneer to discover that Boston is a high-achieving city of historical, political and intellectual substance.
I'm slurping a bowl of Boston clam chowder in the Union Oyster House, America's oldest restaurant, when Joseph A. Milano, the restaurant's owner, approaches my table. I recognise Milano from the framed newspaper cutting on the wall of him shaking hands with US President Barack Obama.
My clam chowder is followed by half-a-dozen oysters, the catch of the day and a history lesson from Milano (who was previously a brigadier general in the MA State Guard).
Years before becoming a restaurant, the building was the stage for a cast of interesting characters. The future King of France, Louis Philippe, lived on the second floor while exiled in 1796 and earned his living by teaching French to the young ladies of Boston.
The restaurant first opened as the Atwood and Bacon Oyster House in 1826.
John F. Kennedy was a regular customer, who came in on the weekends for lobster stew. You can dine in the "The Kennedy Booth" but be prepared to be photographed by tourists.
Long after the restaurant became a hot spot for bivalve epicurean delights, the old building continues to hide secrets.
Who would guess that a small part of the Kingdom of Thailand is located in the rooms above? Milano is also the consul general of Thailand and has set up the Thai consulate behind an unmarked door along a narrow passageway and up a creaky staircase.
Here, among the Thai statues and elaborately carved timber furniture hangs the Massachusetts birth certificate of Bhumibal Aduldej, King of Thailand, born in Cambridge in 1927 when his father was studying at Harvard's medical school.
Established in 1636, Harvard University has long attracted the best minds from around the world. The university is the US's oldest higher education institution and getting accepted into Harvard is almost as difficult as winning lotto. But fortunately, there are more than 100 other schools in the Boston area.
About 6 per cent of applicants are admitted to Harvard and they say that anyone who graduates is likely to become a millionaire by the age of 30.
Mark Zuckerberg blew that statistic out of the water when he invented Facebook. His fortune is estimated to be about $17.5 billion.
I catch the Red Line subway to Harvard, where a tour of the campus is led by engaging economics student Lucas Swisher, who entertains with funny stories about Harvard's culture, architecture and its rivalry with Cambridge.
We walk past the Johnston Gate and beneath the trees of Harvard Yard to the Memorial Hall, Widener Library and the John Harvard Statue.
I'm impressed by Swisher's enthusiasm and his mastery of the art of walking backwards while talking. A future Zuckerberg, perhaps? I have his autograph, just in case.
Boston is known for its role in the American Revolution and the harbour was the scene of the 1773 Boston Tea Party, which was a trigger for the Revolution.
The British retaliated by invading the harbour, prompting silversmith Paul Revere's "midnight ride" to warn American Revolution leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the invasion.
To brush up on the American Revolution, I take a tour of Quincy, which is a small city 15km from Boston and the birthplaces of two US presidents: John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams.
There, I visit the saltbox house where John Adams was born in 1735, and Peacefield, the stately Adams mansion that was the summer White House of both Adams presidents.
Back in Boston's town centre, inspired by tales of the fight to form a new nation, I take myself on a walk along the Freedom Trail, which is a red line on the pavement leading to 16 historic sites.
Unlike cities in Europe, where the old towns are usually preserved within a distinct boundary, Boston is an eclectic fusion of gleaming skyscrapers and stately historical architecture.
The Boston Common is the US's oldest public park and the social hub of the city. The lawns are packed with people walking, cycling and picnicking, as well as wedding parties posing for photographs around the lovely lake.
It's hard to imagine that this was once a rallying ground for soldiers and where the British army set up camp during the American Revolution.
I'm staying at The Langham Boston, a few blocks from Faneuil Hall, where America's first town meeting was held.
The hotel itself is part of Boston's history it was once the Federal Reserve Bank's headquarters for New England and while it preserves the ambience of yesteryear, there are plenty of contemporary trappings, such as the Chuan Body + Soul spa, which has a full-service health club, and the Saturday afternoon Chocolate Bar, which is a substantial buffet of wicked chocolate desserts.
The chandeliered BOND lounge is a hot spot for Boston's beautiful people. The room is jiving as I sip a cocktail of Belvedere vodka, Domaine de Canton, fresh blueberries, cucumber and champagne while scouring the crowd for Leonardo DiCaprio or Ben Affleck. Someone points out a famous basketball player grooving at the bar.
Looking for movie stars in Boston is not silly at all, as there is a constant supply of Hollywood faces in town. About 400 movies and TV shows have been filmed in the city, including The Social Network, Knight & Day, Shutter Island and The Proposal.
Sarah Jessica Parker had a room in The Langham for three weeks while filming I Don't Know How She Does It and tongues are wagging about Affleck holding up traffic while photographing Boston's streets on his iPhone.
A tour of Boston's movie locations gives me a break from history to sit on the park bench from Good Will Hunting, peek in the original bar from Cheers and explore Jack Nicholson's mob hangouts in The Departed.
I also happen to be visiting during the filming of a fantasy crime thriller, R.I.P.D., and the movie's villain, Kevin Bacon, has been spotted in town.
Near my hotel, an entire city block is shut off for filming and there are trucks, trailers and men with walkie-talkies everywhere. I scan the crowd for Bacon and I'm sure I catch a glimpse.
The writer was a guest of The Langham Boston.

The Department of Near Eastern Antiquities is devoted to the ancient civilizations of the Near East and encompasses a period that extends from the first settlements, which appeared more than ten thousand years ago, to the advent of Islam. The Department of Egyptian Antiquities presents vestiges from the civilizations that developed in the Nile Valley from the late prehistoric era (c. 4000 BC) to the Christian period (4th century AD). The department of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman civilizations illustrates the art of a vast area that encompasses Greece, Italy, and the whole of the Mediterranean basin, spanning a period that stretches from Neolithic times (4th millennium BC) to the 6th century AD. The Department of Islamic Art displays over a thousand works, most of which were intended for the court or a wealthy elite. They span thirteen hundred years of history and three continents, reflecting the creativity and diversity of inspiration in Islamic countries. The rooms devoted to "modern" sculpture, opened in 1824, gradually became the Department of Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern Sculpture. Separate collections were founded in 1848 for antiquities and in 1893 for objets d'art. The Department of Decorative Arts presents a highly varied range of objects, including jewelry, tapestries, ivories, bronzes, ceramics, and furniture. The collection extends from the Middle Ages to the first half of the 19th century. The Department of Paintings reflects the encyclopedic scope of the Louvre, encompassing every European school from the 13th century to 1848. The collection is overseen by twelve curators, who are among the most renowned experts in their field. One of the Louvre's eight departments is devoted to the museum's extraordinary collection of works on paper, which include prints, drawings, pastels, and miniatures. These fragile works feature in temporary exhibitions and can also be viewed privately by arrangement. < back to Museum's profile Saatchi Gallery About Hours & Directions Become a Member Contact Us Terms & Conditions Social Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Google+ Follow us on Pinterest Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Pictify Follow us on Instagram Review on TripAdvisor © 2016 Saatchi Gallery.

Tax Battle Will Be Tough for Democrats to Lose: Albert R. Hunt
Democrats have a good hand, politically and substantively, in the big tax-cut fight; they could screw it up.
The two parties have staked out hard positions in a battle that may help define the U.S. elections this autumn. Democrats want to extend the tax cuts for the middle class; Republicans insist that's not possible unless tax cuts for the highest earners are extended, too.
"Public-opinion polling shows strong support across the electorate for making permanent the middle-class tax cuts that otherwise would expire at the end of this year," Geoff Garin, a leading Democratic polltaker, advised congressional leaders in a memo last week. Voters, he added, would direct "anger and agitation" against anyone "who stood in the way" of these middle-class cuts.
Moreover, if necessary, Democrats have a viable backup: extend the upper-income tax cuts for one year -- countering Republican charges that you can't raise any taxes with the unemployment rate at 9.6 percent -- while making the middle-class tax cuts permanent. Decoupling the tax cuts would ultimately require the upper-income provisions to stand on their own.
Nevertheless, lacking a skilled legislator on this issue or a well-considered White House strategy, the Democrats, who desperately need a legislative victory, may blow it. A number of senators, including Nebraska's Ben Nelson and Connecticut's Joseph I. Lieberman, who often side with upper-income taxpayers, have insisted all the tax cuts be extended.
Blue Dog Democrats
And in the House, 31 Democrats wrote Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California a letter calling for some extension of all the Bush-era tax cuts, which are slated to expire at the end of the year because of sleight-of-hand budgetary gimmicks the Republican-controlled Congress put in place when passing them. Ironically, 23 of those Democrats are so-called Blue Dogs, members of a coalition dedicated to reducing deficits. Extending the upper-income tax cuts would add more than $700 billion to the federal budget deficit over the next decade.
And Peter Orszag, President Barack Obama's former budget director, handed the Republicans a gift when he recently called for extending all the tax cuts for two years, then letting them expire. Orszag says the long-term fiscal situation is so dire that the nation can't afford the middle-class tax cuts, either. Thus, he argues for a "34-vote strategy" that would extend all tax cuts for two years and then count on the president to veto any subsequent extension.
Election-Year Tax Rise
That assumes that in 2012, a presidential election year, Obama would veto a bill that would prevent a tax increase for all Americans, breaking a pledge he made in his first campaign. There's a better chance he'll tap Sarah Palin to be Treasury secretary.
The other huge miscalculation would be if timid Democrats, or those who think the tax debate is a good campaign issue, decided to postpone any action to a lame-duck session after Election Day, Nov. 2. Republicans are certain to make major gains this year. Some of their candidates will likely win seats of appointed senators and take office immediately, thus enabling them to participate in a lame-duck session.
The political climate will be far less conducive; Texas Representative Pete Sessions, who heads the House Republicans' campaign committee, says he relishes the prospect of dealing with the tax cuts in a lame-duck session. This, he predicts, would assure passage of the measures for the wealthier.
Least Stimulus Effect
On the substance, the Democrats have the better of the arguments, according to many detached analyses. The Congressional Budget Office, for example, determined that of all the measures Congress could adopt, the upper-income tax cuts would be among those that would provide the least stimulus for the economy.
In addressing the budgetary costs of the upper-income tax cuts, Republicans say instead they will focus on spending reductions. House Minority Leader John Boehner proposes to freeze all discretionary spending, other than for defense, homeland security and veterans, at 2008 levels.
That would amount to a 21 percent cutback in these programs, the liberal Center for Budget and Policy Priorities has calculated, and would represent "the deepest cut" in such funding ever. One example: The Boehner proposal would slash spending for the National Institutes of Health to conduct research on cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes and other diseases by $6.5 billion in the 2011 fiscal year.
'Excessive Government Spending'
The Ohio Republican says this is necessary because "excessive government spending is crowding out the private economy." If that were the case, it would be reflected in the financial markets; instead, interest rates remain near historic lows.
Further, the claim that these upper-income cuts, which affect less than 3 percent of all taxpayers, would cripple small businesses is a Trojan Horse, most tax experts say. The higher rates are those that were in effect during the 1990s, when more than 22 million jobs were created, or tenfold more than under the lower top rates during President George W. Bush's administration.
Also involved are taxes on dividends, capital gains and estates, all of which would go to exceptionally high levels without some kind of action by Congress this year. The White House has proposed a moderate course that would avoid that; many congressional Republicans are demanding more.
Budget Rules
A problem for the Republicans, however, is that under the budget rules, they have to offset any of these more generous tax provisions that disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans with tax increases or spending cuts. Those would almost surely disproportionately hit working-class Americans. Or, they could vote to waive all the budgetary rules -- after making the deficit a centerpiece of this year's campaign.
If a fallback is necessitated -- a scenario the Obama White House hasn't adequately considered -- passing only a short-term extension of tax cuts for the wealthy is feasible. For instance, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, has been depicted as belonging to the Nelson-Lieberman camp favoring extending all tax cuts. In an interview, he said that he wants only a short-term continuation of upper-income tax cuts, that no extension on these is preferable to a permanent one, and that if a bill only includes a middle-class tax cut, he would vote for it.
A victory for the Democrats -- forcing the Republicans to back down or fashioning a reasonable bill in which the opposition is seen as stymieing middle-class tax cuts -- would provide a much-needed boost. Conversely, if they botch this, their already dismal November prospects may get worse.

An orchid which only flowers once every three years is in
bloom at the Kiwi Birdlife Park.
Wildlife keeper Ali McDonald said she and another staff
member noticed the orchid a couple of weeks ago and set out
to discover the plant's name.
She said the orchid was native, although not threatened, and
bore the common name of potato orchid, the scientific name of
Gastrodia ''long column'' and the Maori name of Huperei.
The orchid is symbiotic, which means it lives with a close
association to another species, the fungus Armillaria mellea,
which is a tree-root parasite.
Light is not required for the orchid's survival and it does
not have leaves.

BBC Review
Pipedream get's a deserved re-release 10 years after the Lindisfarne man died.
Rob Webb 2005
With half of Lindisfarne having scampered off to form Jack The Lad, Alan Hull's first solo venture, recorded with cohorts Ray Jackson and Kenny Craddock, was first released in 1973. Reissued to mark the tenth anniversary of Hull's death, Pipedream is by far his most self-assured work: the playing and production beingless folk-driven than on Lindisfarne's classic early albums.
Most of the tracks deal with real-life situations, around themes that permeated much of Hull's writing over the years -booze, relationships, politics - and this gives them an earthy colour. "Breakfast", a morning-after tale of waking up with your mistress, kicks off the album with an energetic humour. The similarly comic "Country Gentleman's Wife" was inspired by the posh housewives he met back in the 60s, as he cleaned windows in one of Newcastle's richer quarters. The story, he once explained, is one that could have happened, but didn't.
Hull was a conscious voice for the underdog and the working man and woman. "Money Game" and "Song For A Windmill" are paradigmatic of his peculiarly northern English take on the protest song: caustic fables of mill owners and brass in pocket. "Drug Song", which became a staple in Hull's live set until his death in 1995, was one of his personal favourites and one he considered (rightly) to be among his best. Although Hull admitted that it was written under the influence, it's neither pro nor anti drugs.
The beautifully cracked and broken "I Hate To See You Cry", which closed the original album, is now followed by some B-sides and tracks from a 1974 BBC session. "Dan The Plan" and "One More Bottle Of Wine" both surfaced on Hull's second solo set, Squire. After Pipedream, Hull never again articulated such pathos and passion.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's governor has changed his mind, and decided to extend early voting hours amid record turnout.
Charlie Crist had said earlier Tuesday he didn't think the law allowed him to extend early voting.
Crist said it specified that polling sites be open eight hours each weekday and a total of eight hours on the weekends.
Later Tuesday, the Republican governor issued an executive order extending the hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and a total of 12 hours this weekend.
Early voting ends on Sunday.
About 2 million Floridians have cast ballots ahead of the Nov. 4 election - amounting to 20 percent of the total eligible voter pool.
More than half of the early voters have been registered Democrats.

I do find it interesting that Downey Jr was willing to voice Stark in this game. A very rare time where the MCU actor voices the character in a video game based off the movie. Not only that, but his fellow actors voiced the characters in video games based off the movie's as well. Sameul L Jackson, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston & Chris Hemsworth to name a few examples. Tatasciore showcases his great Jeff Bridges impersonation in this game.Reply

Brandi Cantrell's tenure as Tascosa's head volleyball coach got off to a rocky start Tuesday.
Well, for the first five minutes, at least.
Rebounding from an early 5-0 deficit in the first game, the Lady Rebels surged back for a 15-10, 15-3 victory against Dumas in front of an opening-night crowd of 500 at Tascosa Activity Center.
Georgia Moore, Jenny McClain and Molly Shelton combined for 19 kills as the Lady Rebels (1-0) controlled the net for much of the match and took advantage of several Demonettes miscues.
All after falling behind after an initial bout of first-game jitters.
"We came out a little nervous, a little timid," Cantrell said. "They're still getting used to each other, still getting used to me. But we were able to get back our composure."
Much of that occurred after Cantrell called a timeout to settle her players down moments into the game. From there, Tascosa won 13 of the next 14 points to take a commanding 13-6 lead.
"I just tried to calm them down, but I also wanted to break their momentum," Cantrell said.
Dumas (0-1) fought back behind the serve of Veronica Medrano, winning four straight points - including two off Holly Ratliff kills - to cut the deficit to 13-10. The Lady Rebels, though, continued to use their advantage at the net to take the first game.
The momentum carried into the second as the Demonettes rarely challenged through the rest of the match.
"We did really well for a while," Dumas coach Jack Wilson said. "Blocking at the net, we did a decent job there in the first game, played really well. I thought the second game looked like a circus. We were out of place a couple of times, but it's the first game."
The Lady Rebels' quick start in the second was thanks largely to positioning mistakes by Dumas that awarded Tascosa three early points. Moore and Shelton continued to control the action at the net as the Lady Rebels won the final seven points to give Cantrell her first victory at Tascosa.
"I'm glad it's over," Cantrell said. "I wanted to get that first one out of the way."
Both Megan Moore and McClain helped lead a strong Lady Rebel defense, accounting for nine and eight digs, respectively. McClain also had a team-high 24 assists.
Tascosa and Dumas will play tournaments on the road this weekend, with the Lady Rebels traveling to the Duncanville Invitational and the Demonettes taking part in the Pampa Invitational.
Tascosa def. Dumas
Records: Tascosa 1-0; Dumas 0-1.
Impact: The Lady Rebels give coach Brandi Cantrell her first victory with the team.
Key stat: Tascosa rebounded from an early 5-0 deficit to control the Demonettes for the rest of the match.

Is it possible to set up a failover system such that when a website (external to our organisation) goes down (can't be reached) that the DNS redirects to an internal site?
DNS isn't the tool to use to solve this. You can do this with an active/passive load balancer, but if you were going to do this, you might as well just make them both public facing and active/active.
What is the business case for having an internal redirect instead of using a real HA solution?
DNS is a perfectly fine tool to do this.
There are several vendors for this. They periodically poll your service and point your domain name to a backup server address when it fails. Search for "DNS failover", and pick carefully: they will have to run your DNS too.

Aphrodisiacs Through the Ages
You may have heard that oysters are an aphrodisiac -- but what about potatoes, skink flesh, and sparrow brains? These things were once considered aphrodisiacs, too. Almost everything edible was, at one time or another.
Aphrodisiac recipes have been cooked up throughout the world for millennia. In Europe, up to the eighteenth century, many recipes were based on the theories of the Roman physician Galen, who wrote that foods worked as aphrodisiacs if they were "warm and moist" and also "windy," meaning they produced flatulence. Spices, mainly pepper, were important in aphrodisiac recipes. And because they were reckoned to have these qualities, carrots, asparagus, anise, mustard, nettles, and sweet peas were commonly considered aphrodisiacs.

Read the Six Surprise Sexy Spots article > >
An aphrodisiac, as we use the term today, is something that inspires lust. It usually isn't meant to cure impotence or infertility, problems that are now handled by separate fields of medicine. But until recently there was little distinction between sexual desire and function. Any lack of lust, potency, or fertility would have a common cure in an aphrodisiac. Galen thought that a "wind" -- or as one 16th-century writer put it, an "insensible pollution" -- inflated the penis to cause an erection, so anything that made you gassy would also make you erect.
Galen's theories were not the only basis for concocting aphrodisiacs. Mandrake root was eaten as an aphrodisiac and as a cure for female infertility because the forked root was supposed to resemble a woman's thighs. This was based on an arcane philosophy called the "doctrine of signatures." Oysters may have come to be known as an aphrodisiac only by their resemblance to female genitals. Few old medical texts listed oysters as an aphrodisiac, although literary allusions to that use are plentiful.
Parts of the skink, a kind of lizard, were thought to be an aphrodisiac for centuries. It's hard to say why exactly, but three different ancient authors make the claim. Potatoes, both sweet and white, were once known as an aphrodisiac in Europe, probably because they were a rare delicacy when they were first transplanted from the Americas.

Lifeguards are praising the behaviour of swimmers as the
city's beaches prove popular on hot summer days.
Hundreds of people again made their way to St Clair and St
Kilda Beaches over the weekend, as temperatures topped 26degC
on Saturday and yesterday. St Clair Surf Life Saving Club
lifeguard Niam Chronican said St Clair was ''pretty crazy''
by mid-afternoon on Saturday, as up to 300 people hit the
beach and 50 swam in the water.
Despite that, swimmers were well behaved, following
instructions and swimming between the flags, and no rescues
had been recorded in recent days.
There had been only ''a few'' minor preventive actions -
lifeguards checking on swimmers or telling people to move -
in that time, he said.
St Kilda staff reported a similar trend, as between 200 and
300 people visited the beach to enjoy the sunshine and a
small, safe swell.
About 150 people visited St Clair yesterday. A southerly wind
and rain cleared the beach at 3pm, lifeguard Steph Laughton
