When the floor coating system at a private airplane hangar began peeling off the concrete in chunks after just over two years of service last spring, its owner sought both a solution and an explanation.
He found both in the combination of HGS Protective Coatings, LLC, a General Polymers-certified coating and flooring contractor from McFarland,Wis., and the new AquArmor flooring product from Sherwin-Williams.
According to Chad Grote, the owner's problem stemmed from the fact that the 5,700-square-foot hangar and the entire airport had been built on former wetlands.
"It has a very high water table," says Grote."As a result, the moisture vapor transmission rates were measuring between 8 and 12 pounds per thousand square feet."
In such an environment, the initial coating system had little chance for success, according to Grote.
"You could take a razor scraper and peel the initial coating system off the concrete,"he says."And a large portion of it had already flaked off."
Since a conventional epoxy system would have been doomed to the same fate as the previous system, Grote specified the AquArmor system. After removing the remainder of the existing coating by diamond grinding, the contractor applied one coat of 3460 AquArmor primer at 160 square feet per gallon (sfpg) and one coat of 3462 AquArmor at 200 sfpg.
"The workability of the AquArmor is really nice and its performed very well," he says."There's been no delamination and no reaction to the high presence of moisture."
Grote reports that the owner was so satisfied with the application that he plans to install an AquArmor system for the upcoming new addition to the hangar.
"We've had more success with it," says Grote. "When we'd get high vapor transmission on past jobs you'd always have to put an additional primer down as a vapor barrier, but that takes time and money.
"With AquArmor, it's not really an issue. Just specify the system and you're not going to have too many worries."

Gregg Allman's current health issues, which date back to last August when he went into the Mayo Clinic with "serious health issues", appears to continue to be a problem as he has cancelled the rest of his 2017 dates.
A message on his website confirmed the cancellations:
It has been determined that Gregg will not be touring in 2017. For those of you who purchased tickets for shows in June, contact the ticket outlet from where you purchased the tickets for a refund.
In early August 2016, Allman entered the hospital and cancelled all shows through the middle of October. The next month he revealed that he had pneumonia and would be returning to the stage in late September.
After just two shows, at the Laid Back Festival, he announced that he was cancelling the rest of his 2016 and early 2017 appearances for "some real time to heal":
This is the hardest thing I've had to do in a long, long, time. I've been on the road for 45 years because I live to play music with my friends for my fans. As much as I hate it, it's time for me to take some real time off to heal.
Not making a show is a really hard decision for me because I want to play so bad, but it's also hard on my partners and fans who make plans to be with me. I never want to put anybody in a bad spot. I'm so grateful for the people that I work with and for the fans that come to my shows and I want to be at my best for all of them. That means I'm going to have to wait until I'm feeling really good, not just good enough like I have been. Good enough isn't working for us all.
Word is that, beyond the pneumonia, Allman is suffering from a serious vocal injury.
There is no word on how the cancellations will change the release of his new album, Southern Blood.

It is so hot to watch David play with himself, then add in a few fingers, then a black Fun Factory dildo. There is some hot ass play going on here. David had to slow down a few times while getting off otherwise he would have blown his load when he first worked the Fun Factory toy in his tight hole. He almost came several times. I guess when you have the perfect toy and it hits the spot, you shoot big loads.
Check out Fierce Dog and watch David getting off with his big dildo in the full length video.

We've had three weeks (give or take) with our team, Spirit, Charlie, Ned and Stevie and each day has been a success and right rollicking fun! Our team have met the vet and farrier and they've won bravery rewards when they conquered the creeks. Noel and I have changed saddles and horses daily and each horse is accepting and forgiving, and is now working as one together with each of us; we are all beginning to meld as one powerful unit. We still have a long way to go but the partnerships are blooming.
Overwhelming success . . . so far!

Alex Nowrasteh, the immigration policy analyst at the Cato Institute, recently authored a paper entitled "Terrorism and Immigration: A Risk Analysis." It is not an analysis of risk in the traditional sense; it has little interest in causes and none in mitigation strategy. A risk-reward study, it argues from observed frequencies of terrorism incidents in the US that restricting immigration is a poor means of reducing terrorism and that the huge economic benefits of immigration outweigh the small costs of terrorism.
That may be true – even if we adjust for the gross logical errors and abuse of statistics in the paper.
Nowrasteh admits that in the developing world, heavy refugee flows are correlated with increased terrorism. He also observes that, since 2001, "only three years were marred by successful foreign-born attacks." Given his focus on what he calls the chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack (based solely on historical frequencies since 1975), the fact that successful terrorism occurred in only three years seems oddly polemical. What follows? By his lights, the probability of terrorist death stems only from historical frequencies. While honest people disagree about Bayesian probability theory, surely we owe the Bayesians more than blinding ourselves to all but brute averages over a 40-year interval. I.e., having noted that heavy refugee flows correlate with terrorism elsewhere, he doesn't update his prior at all. Further, unsuccessful terrorist attempts have no influence.
Nowrasteh writes, "government officials frequently remind the public that we live in a post-9/11 world where the risk of terrorism is so extraordinarily high that it justifies enormous security expenditures." I don't know his mindset, but writing this in a "risk analysis" seems poorly motivated at best. He seems to be saying that given the low rate of successful terrorism, security efforts are a big waste. The social justice warriors repeating this quote from his analysis clearly think so:
"The chance that an American would be killed in a terrorist attack committed by a refugee was 1 in 3.64 billion a year." [emphasis in original]
Nowrasteh develops a line of argument around the cost of a disrupted economy resulting from terrorism events using the 1993 and 2001 WTC attacks and the Boston Marathon bombing, finding that cost to be relatively small. He doesn't address the possibility that a cluster of related successful attacks might have disproportionately disruptive economic effects.
He makes much of the distinctions between various Visa categories (e.g., tourist, refugee, student) – way too much given that the rate of terrorism in each is tiny to start with, and they vary only by an order of magnitude or so.
These are trifles. Two aspects of the analysis are shocking. First, Nowrasteh repeatedly reports the calculated probabilities of being killed by foreigners of various Visa categories – emphasizing their extreme smallness – with no consideration to base rate. I.e. the probability of being murdered is already tiny. Many of us might be more interested in a conditional probability – what is the probability that if you were murdered, the murderer would be an immigrant terrorist. Or perhaps, if you were murdered by an immigrant terrorist, how likely is it that the immigrant terrorist arrived on a refugee Visa.
Finally, Nowrasteh makes this dazzling claim:
"The attacks (9/11) were a horrendous crime, but they were also a dramatic outlier."
Dramatic outlier? An outlier is a datum that lies far outside a known distribution. Does Nowrasteh know of a distribution of terrorist events that nature supplies? What could possibly motivate such an observation. We call a measurement an outlier when its accuracy is in doubt because of prior knowledge about its population. Outliers cannot exist in sparse data. Saying so is absurd. Utterly.
"I wouldn't believe it even if Cato told me so." That is how, we are told, an ancient Roman senator would express incredulity, since Marcus Porcius Cato was the archetype of truthfulness. Well, Cato has said it, and I'm bewildered.

Are you sure that he does not support child rape?
I had heard that at one stage, he supported non-consensual infant genital mutilation.
(But only of males, of course!)
If this isn't rape, what is?
Or is it only rape when Jewish Mohels traditionally suck the infant's penis with their filthy mouths that it becomes infant rape?
Or is it that male infants don't count with your cohort of fem-bots?
Enquiring minds wish to know, PZ!
And it is less than useless to pose this serious enquiry on your blog.

Fred Tasker: Hearty wines for winter
"Hygge" (pronounced HEW-gah) is a Danish word that translates roughly as "well-being."
It describes the purposeful creation of a cozy indoor atmosphere, with candlelight, glowing hearths, close friends, good wine and food that help them through their long, dark winters.
Around the world in the north, it's the season to drink hearty wines, warming wines, wines with a little boost of alcohol to give us comfort and the will to carry on. Wines that might seem too heavy in August.
It's time for comfort wines and the comfort foods that go with them: meatloaf, mac 'n' cheese, beef-and-bean chili, savory stews with their beckoning dose of umami.
But what about the South? It's having the best weather of the year. A bit cool, maybe, but nothing a light jacket won't handle. The time when you can tell the tourists from the locals because the locals dig their fur coats out of cold storage and the tourists are in Speedos.
So in the South as well, it's the season for hearty wines. The best chance, in any case. It's as cool as it gets.
We can even help it out a bit. My favorite custom when February arrives in South Florida has been to turn the air conditioning as low as it will get and build a modest but festive fire in the fireplace. And then pour myself a glass of port.
It's our version of hygge.
So, North and South, we're all in this together. To that end, here are some nice hearty wines to bring us all together.
Highly recommended

▪ 2010 Amarone Selezione Castagnedi, by Antonio Castagnedi, Mezzane di Sotto, 15 percent alcohol, (70 percent corvine, 20 percent rondinella, 5 percent croatina, 5 percent oseleta): deep ruby hue, aromas and flavors of black plums, black pepper and anise, full body, ripe tannins, long finish; $45.

Young, Straight & Masculine Dude Jeremy & His Private Photos & Video
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.31, 2013, under Chaosmen
Jeremy is a young and hot straight guy who started out in the straight porn fucking women, but then a friend of his who lives in New York helped him connect with us here so, as soon as we saw how hot he is, we immediately told him to send us all of his private pictures that he shot with his mobile phone (for his girlfriend), and also to make a video of himself jerking off.
Well, I'm sure that while fucking women is great fun too (especially if you're a straight man), I sure hope this hot stud will seriously consider his "gay for pay" career because I'd like to see him in action (more than once, I mean, cause you can also see him here as Ryan Long).
His body is pretty well-built, with muscles at just the right places, and let's not forget that rather LONG straight cock that gives this hot straight man a finishing touch of pure masculine godliness.

Seth Chase Feeds Evan With His Massive Load Of Jizz
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.31, 2013, under SethChase (Porn Actor)
We're back again on the "Thunder Mountain" with Seth Chase and his buddy Evan Parks. Last time we saw how Seth plowed and bred Evan's ass in a nasty hot bareback fuck session. Like I promised, here's a shoot they made previously, in which Evan sucks on Seth's hardened manmeat until Seth shoots his seed and feeds Evan's hungry mouth.
Evan is a cute bicurious lad who likes to try anything in life at least once. He admits he likes Seth's cock as it is so straight and stiff. Not to mention Seth's epic cumshots that can put to shame most of the more famous male porn stars.
This scene was shot on their favorite place for naughty hangouts, and they nicknamed it "Thunder Mountain". You can see more shoots from the same place here.
Anyway, Seth told me that he's impressed with Evan's cocksucking skills, it turned out that this young man actually can suck a man's cock very well. Seth's dick got hard in no time, and Evan's mouth and throat did the rest of the job. Evan swallowed that raging erect dick balls deep, and even licked Seth's balls and the shaft. Obviously, the boy knows how to please a man.
Seth says that occasionally he likes to ask the cocksucker where he wants him to shoot his load. There are some men (especially straight) who don't like to mess with cum, but Evan wanted his load really badly. When I suck a man's cock I usually swallow the load (providing I am sure the guy is disease-free), because a man's juicy load is his essence, and I want to taste it.
So this time, Seth decided not to ask any questions, just to shoot his load straight into his mouth when the time comes, without giving him any sign. Seth wants to unload his heavy balls and shoots squirt after squirt directly into Evan's throat. Evan isn't surprised and takes it all hungrily. The second and third squirt were shot onto Evan's mouth. Evan is still like a lustful puppy and wants to collect every drop of Seth's precious liquid. Even when more sperm starts dripping down from Seth's slit on his cockhead as his cock is getting soft again, Evan collects those drops as well and swallows it.

Handsome Ripped Marine Conrad Strokes His Massive Cock
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.30, 2013, under ActiveDuty
Conrad is a tall, 20-year-old Marine with a hot muscular body and a huge monster cock. He is 6'1" (185 cm) tall and weighs 185 lbs (84 kg). He might appear too cute at first with his innocent face, but let me assure ya, he's a naughty boy. Actually, he has some very significant kinky sides to his personality, but more on that later.
When we wanted to film his first scene, he didn't mind jumping right into a 4-way orgy! I guess some men don't want to procrastinate their duties, eh? In that scene he had the opportunity to play naughty games with David, Chance and Dorian (also my favorite military dude from this site). Conrad admits that that wasn't his first time to have sex with other guys.
However, here we see him in a classic jerkoff scene – classic until he whips out his huge schlong, that is. Watch as he wields it like a big sword and strokes it slowly at first, then faster and faster. Gotta love these hung and always horny military boys.

British Straight Porn Star Jack Mason Encore
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.29, 2013, under Picturethis-studios
A few months ago handsome and ripped straight porn star Jack Mason decided to make a special photoset and video for his gay fans. That set went by the name "suited and booted" and was featured on this blog here.
Well, needless to say, his pics were received very well and his gay fans wanted to see more of that hunky, muscled stud – not to mention his 9-inch thick monster cock! The guys from picturethis studios phoned him, secretly hoping that he'd agree to do another shoot, and being a great dude that he is, he said yes.
Jack also thought that it was long overdue to make another great scene for his gay followers and here's the result – famous straight porn star Jack Mason shows off his ripped muscles and works out with weights. He looks quite at his own domain while working out in the locker room.
Although I'm usually not a big fan of lycra, in this case I must say it does look sexy on this man.

Have you noticed that the Brits have some of the hottest guys on the planet? If so, you'd be pleased to browse this immense archive of the hottest cream of the crop as far as British lads are concerned. There are lots of hot porn stars, and less known, but equally hot English men. All professionally photographed. The site updates every 5 days so there's a lot of new material continually pouring in.
postscriptum: Ummm yeah, the fact that I can't show you his hardcore pics from this set does kind of suck, so in case you're wondering (and you wouldn't be here if you didn't) what kind of big dick I have been talking about all along - and you want to avoid searching for his cock pics using Google image search, here are some…
However, I do recommend that you check out what he's recorded for the guys at picturethis studios, it's really good.
Masculine Straight Military Stud Vic
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.29, 2013, under ActiveDuty
A few days ago we saw Vic for the first time in a scene that was supposed to be his solo jerkoff scene, but it turned out that he fucked Drew.
Today we're going to see his proper solo jerkoff video, which was filmed before the already mentioned one. This guy is very masculine and is just about perfect from head to toe. His face is handsome, but also very rough-looking, and that 3-day beard certainly adds to the effect. His chest and arms are strong, his shoulders broad and his cock is large and stiff. He has a bit of chest hair and I hope he's going to grow more of it as he grows older, because right now he's only 21. Vic is 5'10" (175 cm) tall and weighs about 81 kg.
He admits that he was pretty nervous when he came here for the first time, but as soon as I played him a video and his cock got hard, all the nervousness disappeared. Even he liked his jerkoff session so much that he promised he'd be back for more.
Vic is the type of man that we especially like to feature on Rough Straight Men since he fits into the description of our blog perfectly. I sure hope to see much more of this young military stud, and I'm especially keen on seeing how he fucks other men.

Young Military Dude Paolo Strokes His Huge Uncut Cock
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.29, 2013, under All American Heroes
Paolo is a young latin military dude who is going to show us what he's got under that camo uniform tonight. It's a nice and rather big surprise! But before we get to the main dish of the day, let's examine some details from Paolo's life. His parents were originally from Mexico, but they moved to USA. His grandparents were of Italian descent and while he was still a young boy, Paolo had a chance to travel the world with his parents and grandparents. Needless to say, his world-view is much more detailed and complex than that of most young men of his age.
When I asked him why he decided to join the Air Force, Paolo just said that, in his opinion, everyone needs to do something for their country at least once in their lives. Paolo thinks that as an American citizen he enjoys freedom that is not easy to come by in some other countries in the world, so he joined the military in order to be able to protect this freedom. He served in Saudi Arabia and a few other countries before his term ended and he got back home. He is now an MP, in charge of law enforcement and security and he enjoys doing his duty.
He looks pretty handsome and has dark hair, but he still certainly looks like a young dude. The uniform gives him an extra oomph of ruggedness, but I was eager to see what is hiding behind it. He takes off his jacket and t-shirt and shows us his smooth chest and several tattoos. His body is lean and fit, but I can bet that the first thing that you're going to fixate your eyes on will be his humongous cock! When he whips it out, he works on it until it becomes stiff and now it looks absolutely awesome. Paolo likes to rub his cockhead, that gets him fully hard. He also enjoys playing with his foreskin, moving it up and down over his cockhead. He also plays with his nuts and asshole. He shows us more of his ass, giving us a great view of his tight virgin manhole.
Then he lies on his back and uses both hands to stroke that huge fuck stick of his. After some time he shoots his load and the jizz hits his pubic hair.

Muscled, Extra-Hung Stud Randy Pounds & Breeds Ryan's Ass
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.28, 2013, under SeanCody
I must admit I was keen on seeing Randy fuck another dude from the first moment I saw his solo scene. This very muscled, handsome and masculine jock has a very strong body and a big, very thick dick that can drill any hole and make happy even the most demanding women and men who like to receive it up their ass. Ryan is pretty proficient in receiving big dicks, and he was more than happy to be the first bottom for Randy this time.
As much as Randy looks rough and strong, he also has a soft, shy component of his personality that actually makes him even hotter and more desirable. I thoroughly enjoyed all the awkward moments that transpired between these two guys, especially when Randy's shyness becomes very appealing and cute.
In the beginning Ryan sucks on Randy's hardening pole until it assumes its full length and girth. Pay attention to Randy's cock and especially its thickness, it's not something you should ever underestimate, especially if it's going to rip your ass apart. Ryan was very eager to have his ass stretched by this big, fat monster cock, so he starts to ride Randy's pole, and then lets Randy be in charge until Randy fucks the cum out of Ryan. Almost at the same time Randy cums into Ryan's ass and breeds him, while some of Randy's semen drips down onto the floor.
The boys take a little break, but they're still horny and want to fuck more. Ryan bends over and lustfully awaits for Randy's male sword to penetrate his hole again. Randy rubs his hard cock against Ryan's butt cheeks and when it's hard as steel again, he shoves it inside and fucks Ryan real hard until he cums again in his ass. The two men exchange wet kisses while their cocks are touching below, completely drenched in their cum.

Seth Chase Fucks & Breeds Cute Bisexual Lad Evan Parks
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.28, 2013, under SethChase (Porn Actor)
This has to be one of the best fuck scenes from Seth Chase. Cute bisexual lad Evan Parks already had the chance to fuck Seth's cock on the "thunder mountain" (this update will be published on this blog soon, too), but he had never been fucked bareback and bred by Seth, which is something that Evan had been longing for for quite some time.
Evan rarely bottoms, but the allure of Seth's perfect, throbbing cock filling his hole with plenty of jizz was something he couldn't pass so easily.
The scene starts with both guys standing and Evan Parks takes Seth's cock out of his pants. He sucks him until Seth's cock is totally hard and pulsating. Seth turns him over and starts fingering his tight man hole, to prepare him for the onslaught of his raging boner. Seth was so eager to stick his meat deep inside Park's ass (he'd been lusting over that thought and Park for quite a while already) that his cock was fully erect, pulsating and ready to plow that hole. There is quite a bit of precum now appearing on Seth's cockhead, which he uses as lube and smears it all over his cock. Some of Seth's precum ends up on Evan's hole, so Evan was fully lubed.
Seth starts to fuck Evan slowly at first. Evan's hole was almost virgin-like, it was super-tight and Seth couldn't break it in one go. Evan now feels the pain, but is resolved to accommodate Seth's raging dick because he knows it would feel great afterwards.
Seth begins to fuck Evan somewhat harder, and while that was going on, Evan grows a huge erection and begins to drip a lot of precum from his dick. Seth is relentless and still fucks him hard in his ass, stretching it and pounding it like a madman. Seth always sticks his entire shaft up Evan's pink hole, and Seth's balls always touch Evan's butt.
After some time Seth is ready to deliver his seed deep in Evan's hole. When he was about to cum, Seth shoved his dick deep inside and started to shoot his jizz. Then Seth continues to fuck and push his dick into Evan's hole because he wanted to insert as much of his seed into Evan's ass, to breed him the correct way.
You can tell that Evan enjoyed it a lot by his cheeky grin and when Seth pulled out, quite a bit of his jizz slowly came out of Evan's ass. Evan used his fingers to push as much of Seth's semen back into his ass.
Great bareback fuck scene with proper breeding!

I must admit I really dig Russian stud Liev, he has that unmistakable jock-type masculine energy and looks that both might remind you of your high school and college days, when you were secretly in love and lusted over some similar hunky dude, and you spent nights and days dreaming about how it would be if you were really given a chance to be with him in the bed.
Blake had that wish fulfilled tonight, Liev was bent on fucking him really hard and Blake was really in the mood to receive it in his ass. But first the boys begin slowly, by losing their t-shirts and kissing passionately. Liev looks pretty muscular and strong, I'd say he has been working out much more lately. The guys exchange kisses while their cocks grow stiff in a matter of seconds. Liev's cock is quite big, and his cockhead looks like a pointed spear. Blake feasts on Liev's stiffened rod slobbering it in his mouth, while Liev reaches for Blake's tight asshole and puts in it his fingers, trying to relax and stretch it before shoving his hard male love sword inside.
Finally, Liev inserts his throbbing manmeat deep inside Blake while his buddy is on all fours, bent over on the bed. Live pounds him real good in this position and penetrates his entire hole by inserting his pleasure male sword balls deep. Blake moans and groans while being catapulted onto the seventh heaven by Liev's incessant thrusts.
Then Blake lies on his back and lets Liev work on his hole from that position. And finally they change again to the position where Blake is on all fours again. Now Blake's hole is stretched enough and Liev can penetrate it with every thrust completely. Soon enough Liev feels the upcoming rush of the orgasm and pulls out, then sprays his jizz all over Blake's ass.

Two Straight Buddies Take A Leak Half-Naked While Being Watched
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.27, 2013, under CFNM
Ed and Dennis are two inseparable best buddies and they also go to sports trainings together. They are expected to represent their teams. Next week they are supposed to race and fight for their team colors. They both consider each other as equal partners and honorable rivals and there is some form of competition that has always been present between the two men.
After their school is over, the two lads meet at the pavilion so that they can get some more training because they are always striving to surpass their previous accomplishments. After some time the lads decide they need to stop and take a piss. What they didn't know, however, was the fact that they were being watched – by a very horny and hot woman!

WASHINGTON: With congressional opposition softening, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice could find her name in contention as early as this week to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. It�s a step that may signal greater U.S. willingness to intervene in world crises during President Barack Obama�s second term.
As Obama nears a decision on who should be the country�s next top diplomat, Rice has emerged as the clear front-runner on a short list of candidates that many believe has been narrowed to just her and Sen. John Kerry, despite lingering questions over her comments about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya.
According to congressional aides and administration officials, Rice will be making the rounds on Capitol Hill this week for closed-door meetings with key lawmakers whose support she will need to be confirmed. Those appearances follow her first in-depth explanation of her Benghazi remarks that Republicans seized on as evidence of the administration�s mishandling of the attack that took the lives of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
Acting CIA Director Michael Morell will join Rice in her meetings with lawmakers.
A senior Senate aide said the administration was trying to measure the strength of the Republican opposition to a Rice nomination, sounding out the more moderate members of the Foreign Relations Committee such as Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who is in line to become the panel�s top Republican next year, and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.
Rice is scheduled to meet today with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., her most vocal critic on Capitol Hill. She will also meet with Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. McCain and Ayotte are members of the Armed Services Committee.
During an interview on Monday, McCain said he would ask Rice �the same questions I�ve been talking about on every talk show in America.� Asked whether he thinks she�s still unfit for secretary of state and what he was hoping for, McCain interrupted and said, �I�m not hoping for anything. She asked to see me and I agreed to see her.�
Assessing the prospects for Rice before Obama makes any announcement would avoid the embarrassment of a protracted fight with the Senate early in the president�s second term.
On talk shows the weekend following the attacks, Rice relied on talking points provided by the intelligence community that described the attack as a spontaneous assault growing out of a protest of an anti-Muslim film. GOP critics say her remarks downplayed evidence of an obvious terrorist attack just weeks before the Nov. 6 election.
Republicans called her nomination doomed, leading to a vigorous defense of her by Obama in his first post-election news conference. But since then, GOP lawmakers seemed to have softened their views. McCain, who said earlier this month that he would do everything in his power to scuttle a Rice nomination, said on Sunday that he was willing to hear her out before making a decision. McCain ally Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has also eased his opposition.

Montana's Centennial Valley - one of the most remote and remarkable places in the entire United States. Other than two gravel roads running largely east and west, a handful of historic ranches (primarily under conservation easements) and the headquarters for the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge at Lakeview, the valley remains much as it was 100 years ago.
The spectacular Centennial Mountains ring the southern part of the valley, springing up for the most part without foothills, thus the mountains are close-up and spectacular. This is a high mountain valley, rich in water resources, good grasses and a remote feeling that is exceedingly hard to find in our modern interconnected society...put away the cell phone, it simply does not work in the Centennial.
To arrive in the valley, visitors driving on Interstate 15 from the south (Idaho, Utah) or coming from the north (Dillon, Missoula, Helena, Great Falls, Montana or Canada) take the Monida Exit and head east on the South Valley Road). Visitors from Bozeman, Billings, Big Sky, Ennis or West Yellowstone, Montana will usually turn west at Henry's Lake, Idaho, head up over Red Rock Pass and drop into the valley from the east. From either direction, upon entering the Centennial, you can step back into the past.
With less than 100 residents in a valley that is approximately 40 miles east and west by 15 miles north and south, and home to the Upper and Lower Red Rock Lakes as well as several streams in addition to the Red Rock River, this is natural beauty at its best.
Be sure to pack a pair of binoculars or a camera with a long lens. While the Centennial is known to have virtually all species of big game found in Montana, many people consider this valley to be one of the best places in the entire world to view birds. Over 241 species either call the Centennial home or pass through this remarkable valley. The valley supports the highest nest density in the west for Trumpeter Swans, the highest numbers of Peregrine and Ferruginous Hawks as well as large numbers of Bald Eagles and Osprey.
In the heart of the valley, surrounded by public land on three sides is a remarkably private property in a truly beautiful location. Sited next to O'Dell Creek is a 187+/- acre property with a 3,500+/- SF log home tucked into a hillside surrounded by mature aspens. O'Dell Creek, which flows through the property, is a excellent mountain fishery where the current owner of this property reports catching trout up to 20 inches. Native West slope Cutthroat and Arctic Grayling as well as Brook Trout populate the secluded stream. Seldom visited by anyone, the O'Dell Creek valley provides easy access into perhaps one of the least visited and spectacular mountain environments in the entire country.
The home is the last home in the Centennial to be connected to the electric grid, properties to the east of this home require generators or other means of electric generation. The home is constructed from large British Columbia logs and has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the land and home are priced at $1,995,000.

If you are looking into moving abroad to South American and purchasing some land or property abroad in Argentina then you will need to familiarize your self with the restrictions and other quirks that you may not be aware of. Buying land or property in Argentina is likely to be a bit different than your experience of doing the same in your home country. There are conditions that must be met as well as some restrictions involved in the buying of land and property in Argentina.
If buying land in Argentina: lugares turisticos de la pampa humeda is your focus you will need to know that there are some restrictions. The most important restriction that you will find involves coastal land and border land. If you want to buy land near the border or a coastal strip of land in Argentina you will first need to have permission to do so from the authorities. You will not be allowed to complete the purchase without it.
When you are looking for land to buy you should remember that the price of land in Argentina is in direct relation to the location of the land and the usage of the land. For instance if you want to purchase land for wine growing it will be considerably more than if you are buying land to raise goats. The same is true for land in a popular place such as Buenos Aires versus out in the rural area. Land is measured by the hectare instead of by acre. The price differences can be around $25,000 per hectare at a high to a low of around $15 per hectare.
If you want to buy property in Argentina you will first need to obtain a CUIL, a CUIT or a CDI. These are different types of tax ID numbers. Remember that it is important to negotiate the price of property in Argentina. In fact, all property in Argentina is purposely overpriced to leave room for negotiation. When you make an offer on a property you will be expected to leave a security deposit, called a reserve de compra, with the realtor.
If the seller agrees on your offer the boleto de compra-venta is prepared, which is the sales agreement. At this point you will need to make a down payment equal to 30 percent of the total cost of the property. If the buyer backs out of the sale, then the deposit is forfeited. And if the seller backs out of the sale then the buyer gets the down payment returned as well as a fine imposed on the seller equal to the down payment amount. The sale will be finalized at the escribano, which is the public notary, where the ownership deed will be given to the buyer. Usually the escribano takes place about 30 days after the boleto is signed.

Skating in Bushnell Park is back this year, kicking off today at 4pm with a brief procession from the carousel to the rink (twice the size of last year's, and with a zamboni for better surface conditions), carols, a short professional skating show, twinkly lights, an appearance by the cast of HCT's "Hairspray", and of course free skating and skate rental. Billed as "iQuilt Presents Winterfest" (vs last year's Festival of Lights Constitution Plaza vs Park PR mishap), the rink brings lots of folks Downtown (including City kids who might not otherwise ever try ice skating), provides a fun activity before or after local dining, and makes great use of our beautiful park, normally seen as only a warm-weather destination. Could the nearly-three months of skating and related wintry activities be the seeds for future festivities akin to Quebec's Winter Carnival? We salivate at the thought.
Skating hours here.

- Page 1 Able Planet Clear Harmony NC1050 Review
- Page 2 Sound Quality, Value and Verdict Review
- Great clarity
- Good comfort
- Sub-Bose build and cancellation
- Suffer from mobile phone interference
- Unbalanced bass
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £229.99
- Linx Audio engine
- Active noise cancellation
- Removable cable
- In-line volume control
- Carry case
Anyone who has performed the slightest bit of research into noise cancelling headphones will notice one thing about the Able Planet Clear Harmony NC1050. They look uncannily similar to the Bose QuietComfort 15, one of the most popular noise cancelling sets in the world. A coincidence? We think not. But as they sell at a similar price, these headphones have a big task ahead.
Noise cancelling headphones differ from "normal" headphones in the way they treat ambient noise. Where others block it out physically, by creating a wall between your ear canal and the environment, headphones like the Able Planet Clear Harmony NC1050 actively combat noise by pumping extra sound waves through the speakers to cancel out unwanted sound.
This extra tech doesn't come for free, but can work wonders in environments like aeroplane cabins and noisy tube trains.
To monitor this external sound, the Clear Harmony NC1050 use microphones nestled within cut-outs on the back of each ear cup. These cups completely surround your ears, further controlling what sound can and can't get access to your ear. To power this active monitoring system, two AAA batteries live underneath a plastic cover that tops off the left earpiece.
This side also sports a power switch. As with most noise cancelling headphones, there's no auto power off function, so leave them overnight and you may well wake up to find them dead in the morning. However, this isn't really something to criticise as some people will want to occasionally use the cancellation function with no music playing, and battery life is excellent. A single pair lasted throughout our 2-week testing period.
Good noise cancellation makes the world outside melt away, boosting all-round comfort in stressful environments. Taking comfort seriously, the Able Planet Clear Harmony NC1050 use 1in thick padding on each ear cup. This is slightly thicker than the pads of the Bose QuietComfort 15.
The fit is altogether different, though. The Able Planet pads are less soft and the headband applies more pressure to the head, meaning they "disappear" less readily. They are comfortable, but they are simply not quite as comfy as the Bose rival.
A build quality comparison tells a similar story. The materials used are similar, but less of the attention to design than makes Bose's top-end headphones almost worth buying has been paid here. The battery storage and the removable cable – here a standard, unsecured 3.5mm cable – are less elegant, feeling like off-the-shelf solutions rather than the bespoke treatment that you might expect at the price.
A volume control housing sits roughly 30cm down the cable, and is perhaps the most conspicuously cheap-feeling part of the setup, using a plastic cog-like controller not commonly seen in portable music devices since the 90s. Also included are a decent semi-rigid carry case, a 3.5mm-to-6.3mm jack adapter and a two-prong airplane adapter – because noise cancellation is great at removing that pesky aeroplane cabin hum.
Noise cancellation is also not as impressive as Bose, though. It's noisier and markedly less effective, with a slight low-end hum. However, when stacked-up against solutions from Sony, Sennheiser and Blackbox, the Clear Harmony NC1050 come across much better, and some may prefer the less aggressive approach taken here. Bose earphones can feel as though they're about to suck your eardrums out, a sensation caused by increased intra-aural pressure.
The NC1050 cancellation performs reasonably well and is able to remove the low-end dirges produced by air conditioning units, engines and so on – and it eradicates significantly more noise than it produces – noise cancelling can introduce its own slight hiss.
There is, however, a great big sore thumb of a problem that will make these headphones unfit for purpose for some. They are not protected against interference from mobile phones and other wireless devices, and your listening will be disturbed by irritating digital noise in phone-filled environments.
We found this an irritating problem on trains, an obvious place to use noise cancelling headphones. Alternatives from Sennheiser and Bose do not suffer from the same problem. To combat this, you can turn the Clear Harmony NC1050's noise cancellation off, but this has a knock-on effect on sound quality.

This post is not about x86/64, as the title goes, this is about the Propeller architecture.
But first, here's some x86 (hahaha):
Note that if you encode the XCHG instruction with EAX, EAX, it would just be 0x90; the exact same machine code as:
Sorry to have to put everyone though so much x86 for a Propeller post, but I think there's a very strong likeness here; the propeller chip also does not have dedicated machine-code for the NOP. I find a propeller NOP to be much more interesting.
About Propeller ASM and Machine-Code structure:
Unlike x86, machine instructions for Propeller are not variable in size; each instruction occupies 32-bits. There are 6 bits that specify which instruction (up to 64 possible different instructions), 2 flag setting bits (Zero and Carry), a bit that specifies if the destination operand gets written to, a bit specifying immediate or memory location mode, 4 bits for flag tests, 9 bits for the destination, and another 9 bits for the source operand. This totals up to 32-bits. EVERY instruction has this structure. It may be complicated at first to divide up these bits, but once you get past that, this architecture is incredibly simple and elegant.
Below is a table that describes the WRBYTE instruction. I picked this one because it is the first binary instruction (000000):
Although, for fun, We can look at the last binary instruction (WaitVid):
Conditional Checks (-CON-):
4 bits isn't that much, let's spell out each of them. Where:
Z is Zero Flag
C is Carry Flag
* is AND
! is NOT
= is Equal
0111: !Cv!Z
1011: !CvZ
1101: Cv!Z
1110: CvZ
I skipped 2 special values. 1111 means IF_ALWAYS, most instructions default to this condition if not specified (you will see this above in the tables for WRBYTE and WaitVid. That leaves 0000: IF_NEVER. In Assembly, you can literally put IF_NEVER in front of any instruction you feel like, and it effectively makes it a NOP! In machine code you would just 0 out those 4 bits.
Although, if you actually write 'NOP' in assembly, it has to pick one of these variations. If you were to assemble a NOP and the disassemble it, it would look like a carefully crafted WRBYTE instruction.
Let's look at some propeller Assembly code with a NOP, a couple WRBYTEs and a corresponding machine-code dump. I drew arrows from the assembly to the corresponding machine-code for clarity.
Note that the memory model is Little-Endian (data goes backward per byte). Let's break apart the 2nd wrbyte instruction into its pecies, as it's the main non-zero instruction in the dump. I will take the hex and separate it out into the INSTR, ZCRI, CON, DEST, and SRC bit fields.
Hex 0x03063C00 = Convert from Little Endian -> 0x003C0603 = binary 0000 0000 0011 1100 0000 0110 0000 0011
Clearer grouping = 000000 0000 1111 000000011 000000011
0000 = Don't set Zero or Carry flags, R = 0 means Write in the context of this instruction, R = 1 would be Read, I = 0 means non-immediate value (pointer)
1111 = Same as saying if_always
000000011/000000011 = This refers to the 3rd (counting from zero) 32 bit value in memory (including instructions!). Looking at the assembly, nop is the 0th, 'wrbyte variable, variable' is 1st, 'wrbyte start, start' is 2nd, and our variable declaration is the 3rd. So that's how this happens. Propeller interestingly does not have a distinct code/data isolation.
Create a valid NOP without a NOP:
We see that assembling a NOP produces 0x00000000 in machine code. Let's see what it would take to write some assembly that would produce this same value without using an actual NOP in assembly (spoiler in the above image). I will first break down our zeros into their fields:
000000 = WRByte
0000 = Don't write flags, already Write mode with 0 bit, and we have to use pointer mode; not immediate
0000 = we can only get this set of 0's by specifying the if_never prefix
000000000/000000000 = This is the tricky part (kind of). This has to refer to the 0th 32-bit memory value (our first instruction). Turns out that our Start label contains just that (just as it likewise would in x86 assembly). This means that we can use our 'Start' label for the Dest and the Source operands. We end up with 'if_never wrbyte Start, Start.' As seen in the machine dump, this did infact produce our all 0's machine code identical the real NOP.
So many flavors of NOP:
If you set the CON field to 0000 on any instruction (either directly in machine code or by using the if_never), you effectively make it a NOP. A NOP takes 4 clock ticks. Instructions that take otherwise significantly more clock ticks should only take the 4 clock ticks if you shove an if_never into the CON field.
Post Disclaimer: None of this is really useful knowledge, it's just fun to hack for hacking's sake.

Clive Uptton
Upton began contributing illustrations professionally at the age of 19 before he graduating from Central Art School. When he noticed that another artist named Upton was illustrating stories for the Evening Standard, he changed his name, adding a second 't', so that their work would not be confused. From his studio in Cheapside, Uptton contributed illustrations to most of the major magazines of the day, including The Strand, Tit-Bits, Good Housekeeping, Women's Illustrated, Tatler, Radio Times, John Bull and The Sphere. Through the agencies of Owen Aves and Clement Danes, he also produced advertising illustrations for a variety of clients (GEC, Johnnie Walker, Mars, Bovril, Guinness, Horlicks, Kelloggs and Nestle), dust jackets for books and illustrations for instructional pamphlets. One of his assignments involved travelling to Ghana on behalf of the Colonial Office to produce a booklet on how to grow better cocoa beans.
Between 1940 and 1942, Uptton was the political cartoonist of the Daily Sketch and Sunday Graphic, and also worked for the Ministry of Information producing propaganda cartoons and posters, as well as serving in the Home Guard. Some of his drawings for the Daily Sketch were reproduced on card and sold to readers.
In the 1960s and 1970s he was a prolific contributor to Treasure, Look and Learn and World of Wonder, the children's educational magazines. He was one of the most prolific contributors to Treasure from its inception in 1963, most notably producing many back covers featuring short verses and front covers on a variety of subjects. He continued to work as a book illustrator until 1987 when his eyesight began to fail.
Uptton lived in west London and was twice married; his second wife, Vivian Elizabeth C Bannerman, whom he married in 1965, died in 1997. Uptton died on 11 February 2006, shortly before his 95th birthday.
Examples of Clive Uptton's artwork can be found for sale at the Illustration Art Gallery.

Can You Believe It! The CFPB does something right!
For years now, FHA has assessed a "Pre-Payment Penalty" on homeowners who pay-off their FHA Mortgage early. They don't call it that, but that's what it is!
Here's how it works: No matter what date in a month a FHA mortgage is paid off via sale or refinance, FHA charges that homeowner interest until the end of the month. Let's say the closing takes place on the 2nd of the month. The loan is paid-in-full, yet FHA charges the borrower for "unearned interest" through the last day of that month. That's a Pre-Payment Penalty in my book!
Not a big deal you say! A delay in closing a FHA mortgage past the 30th of the month means higher closing costs for those wanting to refinance and less proceeds from those selling their home. Why is this allowed to happen? Because FHA said so, that's why. Just another way to increase their bottom line
Unfortunately, they don't have to make the change right away.
FHA has until 1/14/15 to halt this usurious practice. In the meantime, it is business as usual.
I'm blown away! The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB ) is making FHA stop this rip off that has been going on for years

Since they were established in 2011 and 2007 respectively, both firms which are based in the Barcelona Science Park have managed to raise €5.8 million in public and private capital and position themselves at the forefront of the sector.
This deal is the largest corporate operation to date in the emerging Spanish bioinformatics market and makes Mind the Byte the leading company in Spain and one of the largest companies in Europe in artificial intelligence applied to medicine discovery and development.
The terms of the agreement have not yet been made public but they include one part in cash and the other as a share swap. Mind the Byte is to finance the integration and growth of both firms with a capital increase, the third in its history, coming to €3 million.
"This transaction is part of Mind the Byte's business plan for the company's growth and internationalisation through strategic acquisitions," said Alfons Nonell-Canals, founder and CEO of the company. "The integration of Intelligent Pharma will mean we can benefit from its valuable network of contacts, equipment, technology and offices while also increasing our market share straight away. Our forecast for 2019 is to reach €2 million in turnover."
Mind the Byte, an Amazon Web Services technology partner since 2013, delivers its technology through a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform and high added value scientific services. In 2015 it opened its first European subsidiary in the Copenhagen Bio Science Park (Denmark) while in 2016 it moved into the Japanese market with local firm Filgen where it expects to achieve €1.2 million in turnover by 2020.
The acquisition of Intelligent Pharma, which has offices in Munich and Heidelberg (Germany), London (United Kingdom) and Alberta (Canada) and clients in over 20 countries worldwide, will enable the Catalan bioinformatics firm to expand its local and global footprint while also extending its range of services and speeding up its product innovation in the geographical areas where it has a presence.
"The integration will allow us to round off our portfolio of tools for designing drugs with the knowhow built up by Intelligent Pharma over more than 10 years in the market and technologies which add to those of Mind the Byte, something that will be very handy when it comes to enhancing our line of business," affirmed Nonell-Canals.
An emerging market with great potential
Bioinformatics is an emerging science in which computer science and information technology are applied to processing biological data. Chemoinformatics used for drug discovery is a key technology in this strategic area and one of the essential tools for R&D in the pharmaceutical industry since it enables reducing the time and cost of drug discovery and shortening the time to market for new medicines.
"It can take 10 or 15 years and extremely long-term investment coming to hundreds of millions of euro to develop a drug," pointed out Nonell-Canals. "With the help of bioinformatics, we can help cut that time, and the cost and risk of investment by streamlining the molecule discovery phase. Moreover, under our recent agreement with the Swedish firm Prosilico, we now also advise companies in the preclinical studies phase."
Data in the most recent report by international consultants Transparency Market Research (TMR) show that the world bioinformatics market is growing exponentially and the $2.3 billion valuation in 2012 is expected to reach $9.1 billion by the end of 2018.

ON AIR - Room 104
with Cormac Moore & Saoirse Long
The former X Factor star is said to have sat down with her bandmates for an 'emotional chat' about what filming could mean for the future of Little Mix.
A source told the Sun, "Jasmine is Jade's perfect role, so she's delighted to have got this far in the process. The talks have been going on for some time now.... All of the girls have their fingers crossed for her, as they always support each other. But they also know that it would be a huge commitment."

Despite the fact that the casting could cause chaos for the band's future plans, it seems the girls are backing Jade, with the source saying the girls "talked about what they might do if Disney did decide to cast her...It was quite an emotional conversation. But they all agreed that they would try to make it work for her around Little Mix commitments."
The source added "It wouldn't be easy, but as far as it's possible, that's what they want."
Jade Thirlwall could be set to land her dream role as Princess Jasmine in the live-action remake of Aladdin.
Will Smith has been rumoured to be lined to up to play the Genie for the remake and, while Guy Ritchie wouldn't confirm the news, he told E! News "It would make me very happy to be making it with him."
Will Smith is rumoured to be lined up to play the Genie, who was originally voiced by Robin Williams.

text: Crystal Castles- "Not In Love" (ft. Robert Smith) ‡ STREAM October 27, 2010Uncategorizedadmin9 Comments The Canadian electronic music duo Crystal Castles picked up a huge endorsement and collaboration from the Cure's Robert Smith this week. Together, they've reworked a track from CC's latest album, "Not In Love." If y'all remember my review of the LP, I wasn't down with a lot of the tracks. But this new version's vocal clarity and hard-hitting chorus make me wanna do things the original didn't--you know, like press the play button again and again. Smith's passionate vocals bring so much to the song. Honestly, the collaboration works so well, it's like it was written with him in mind. Stream the track below, and look for the single's official release on 12/6. -

(VV, this one's for you-give it a shot!)
1. Soak sticky rice for at least 3 to 4 hours or overnight. How much? 350 grams, or if you're not one for measuring, whatever falls out of the bag when you pour.
2. Put sticky rice into a steamer. If your steamer has large holes, no worries, just cut up David's old tshirt or use a handkerchief to line the steamer with. Use a heavy lid, or a stone mortar for extra heft.
3. Steam for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir at some point during the steaming so it evenly cooks.
4. Meanwhile, on low, cook 1/4 can of coconut milk, 3/4 cup sugar (or whatever falls out of bag), and a small spoonful of salt.
4a. Add random herb with no english translation to the pot if you somehow have it stashed in your freezer. If not, it tastes just fine without. Stir the entire time until it boils, then turn it off.
5. When rice is tender, put it into another bowl, and mix the coconut milk mixture into it throughly. Remove random herb pieces. Let sit covered for 20 minutes.
6. Cook remaining 3/4 can of coconut milk with a spoonful of flour (rice or all purpose) and a pinch of salt. Stir until thick.
7. Cut up a really ripe mango. Plate rice, spoon the thick coconut milk mixture on top, add mango and enjoy!

Please take a moment to share our website with your Facebook friends.
I am about to take the most cliché and almost laughable pick-up line of all time, "What's your sign?" and turn it into the best weapon you and a friend can use to start a conversation with a group of women. Have your friend approach a group of women and say in a cheesy voice, "Hey baby, what's your sign?" as if he's mocking the overuse of that pickup line. Before she gets a chance to say anything… have him cut her off and say, "hang on – my friend has an amazing ability to tell people's signs by asking them a few questions". Then have him reach over and grab you as if the whole thing wasn't planned. Have him say, "Hey bro – come over here and see if you can read this girls sign". You come over and make sure you act as if this isn't set up and that you didn't know your friend was going to call you over.
Have your friend go on and brag about how you have this amazing sense about people (This is great because it's your friend bragging about you – not you bragging about yourself – learn more about disguised bragging at DatingWar.com). Tell the girl that you will ask her a series of questions that will let you know what sign she is. Make sure to say that you can't always get it but that you can tell someone's sign by the way she dresses, carries herself, by what career she's chosen, etc. Now have your friend go over to her and ask her to whisper her sign in his ear. Let's say her sign is Gemini. Have your friend look at you and say, "Go ahead". Then you proceed to ask her some questions like:
What do you do for a living?
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Are you a creative thinker or more of a logical thinker?
Do you believe in love at first site?
What's your favorite color?
What are the 3 most important characteristics you look for in a mate?
Do you believe in soul mates?
These questions aren't actually revealing anything about her to you but if you seem to be genuinely asking, the girls will believe that you're really reading her based on the questions. Then to her amazement, you reveal that her sign is in fact Gemini. The whole group is baffled that you figured it out and now think you have some kind of mystical intuition. Women love anything to do with feeling and passion and mysticism. They'll think you are incredible.
How It's Done
As soon as the girl tells your friend what sign she is, he says a short phrase that indicates to you what sign she is. The first letter of the phrase corresponds to the first letter in the sign name. For example: If she's a Gemini, your friend will say to you, "Go ahead". If she's a Pisces, your friend will say, "Pick what sign she is". For most signs, the first letter of the phrase you use is enough. For some you'll have to go by the first few letters because several signs start with the same letter. For example: For Aries you'll say, "Are you ready?" to your friend, while for Aquarius you'll tell him, "Ask her some questions". Just memorize this stuff with your friend before you go out and it'll become simple. You can do this again with a few of the other girls in the group. Make sure that once your friend says the brief phrase, he stands somewhere behind you and out of the way so they don't suspect signaling of some sort. After doing it with a few girls, they may find it suspect that they have to tell your friend each time before you start asking the questions so you should probably limit it to reading only 2 girls at a time.
Below is the chart of what to say for each sign:
Aries - Are you ready?
Taurus - Tell the lady her sign
Gemini - Go ahead
Cancer - Can you read her?
Leo - Let's do this
Virgo - He's Very good at this
Libra - Like I said – he's great at this
Scorpio - Sooo – tell her her sign
Sagittarius - Say her sign
Capricorn - Cool – read her
Aquarius - Ask her some questions
Pisces - Pick what sign she is
You can learn more tricks like this at "Mind Control Her: Pick Up Women Using Mind Reading Techniques" which you can get at MindControlHer.com. In this program you'll learn lots of other "Mind Reading" tricks you can use to pick up women. I give you the exact openers, the entire dialogue and closing lines to get any woman.
Spencer Michaels' programs come highly recommended. His course: The Art of War For Dating (which you can get at DatingWar.com) teaches you the art of picking up and attracting beautiful women. There is nothing like it on the market. The stuff inside is priceless!

Only recently has a test been developed, and many doctors are still not aware of it. Also, people living with fibromyalgia will often have one or more overlapping conditions, which further complicates diagnosis. Here are 10 conditions commonly mistaken for fibromyalgia.

The genius who led a revolution
On Friday it will be 76 years since the death of Sergei Diaghilev. Though not himself a dancer, choreographer, musician or designer, Diaghilev had as great an influence on the arts of his time as any primarily creative person. He was a true artistic director, not just an impresario as he is often called. Through his knowledge and ambition, he pushed the frontiers of taste towards a new and untried world.
Thirty years ago, when I began to study Diaghilev, it was possible to meet many of his most outstanding colleagues - composers such as Stravinsky, the choreographers Massine and Balanchine, and such dancers as the legendary Tamara Karsavina, first interpreter of Petrouchka and Le Spectre de la Rose.
After a long conversation about Diaghilev, I remember Stravinsky putting a bony hand on my knee and saying: "We were on good terms and on bad terms, in good times and bad times, but really he was my brother."
Dame Alicia Markova, recruited at the age of 14, was, until her death last year, the last survivor of Diaghilev's era. Like all those who worked with him, she was convinced her time with Diaghilev changed her life. Dame Ninette de Valois, long-time director of the Sadler's Wells, now Royal Ballet, said she owed everything she knew to Diaghilev.
Ballet before Diaghilev may have been technically impressive but had become creatively null in the West. A small group of enthusiasts in St Petersburg brought about an extraordinary renewal.
Diaghilev was born in Perm, almost in the Urals. At 18 he was sent to the capital to study law. But in a short time he became part of a forward-looking set of young intellectuals, centred on the art historian and designer Alexander Benois and much influenced by the composer Rimsky-Korsakov.
Russia, inward-looking and subject to constant censorship, gave limited opportunities to explore new ideas. The solution lay in travel. Diaghilev went to Paris and found a different world, poised on the verge of a real artistic revolution. Diaghilev was shocked into a new vision of art, abetted by a young Jewish artist, part of the St Petersburg group, called Lev Rosenberg, known to posterity as Leon Bakst. He had absorbed the new world of French painting and was destined to bring colour back to the theatre.
Diaghilev was not considered outstanding in this company, but he was good at organising things. When the group decided to put their ideas into practice in the form of a new magazine, Mir Isskustva (The World of Art), Diaghilev became the editor.
This collaborative work was to be the key to his future. He realised he needed the support of friends and fellow enthusiasts but at the same time was confident enough to promote his own ideas. He turned to exhibitions, putting on a vast parade of Russian historical portraits in St Petersburg. Karsavina remembered that Diaghilev's decision to open it in the evening gave it "a special magic, a sense of theatre". When he put on the first exhibition of new Russian painting in Paris, Bakst designed an elegant setting.
But Diaghilev's roots were in the theatre. He had briefly worked with the imperial theatres as a general assistant, but was dismissed for overspending. Taking advantage of the long summer break, he took the Imperial Opera to Paris in 1908. Funded by one of the imperial family, it introduced Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov and the great Russian bass Feodor Chaliapin for the first time in the West.
Diaghilev had hoped to repeat the operation, but the money was insufficient, so in 1909 he planned a season of ballet. The first night was a milestone in theatre history, revealing not just the genius of the young choreographer Mikhail Fokine, but the dancers Pavlova, Karsavina and Nijinsky in Les Sylphides. The performance culminated in the Polovtsian dances from Borodin's Prince Igor. Paris had never seen anything like the wild intensity of the male dancers.
It was the start of 25 years of innovation and achievement. The following year Diaghilev presented The Firebird, the first dance score of Diaghilev's most exciting discovery, Igor Stravinsky.
Stravinsky told me how they nearly did not connect. Asked to call on Diaghilev, Stravinsky was kept waiting. "Already impatient", as he put it, he made to leave. Just in time, Diaghilev asked him to join the group. The result was not only The Firebird but Petrouchka, The Rite of Spring, Le Rossignol, Pulcinella and, most remarkable of all, Les Noces. In each case the new music was allied to new designs and striking new choreography.
Diaghilev had an instinctive feeling for the right team. Picasso had never designed for the theatre until Diaghilev brought him together with the little-known Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. Diaghilev insisted that Massine study Spanish dance to give The Three-Cornered Hat a brilliant authenticity. Francis Poulenc was only in his mid-20s when commissioned to write Les Biches, another wonderful score.
Diaghilev's authority could also persuade composers to have second thoughts. He once insisted on Prokofiev rewriting the end of The Prodigal Son three times until it caught perfectly the mood of reconciliation.
How did Diaghilev achieve this authority? In many ways it remains a mystery. It was remarkable enough that he kept his company in existence in such turbulent times. Cut off from Russia by the Revolution, trapped in Switzerland by the First World War, always teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, he never lost faith. He lived permanently on the edge of potential disaster. He had no home, few possessions, wore the same fur-trimmed overcoat for decades. What mattered was the work itself, the discovery of new talent, the polishing of ideas to bring them to the highest level.
Three-quarters of a century after his death, a third of the more than 70 ballets he presented are still in the repertory of companies and orchestras around the world. No film of the Ballets Russes exists. Pavlova allowed her little dances to be filmed, though Diaghilev had forbidden it. We have only the still photographs and the danced legacy to go on.
Yet there seems no doubt that the Diaghilev era took dance to heights that have not been surpassed. Where, today, despite ministries of culture, arts councils and state funding, is the energy, the knowledgeable commitment and impeccable taste that so characterised his personality?
Ballet was to become one of the great success stories of 20th-century theatre. Today it lacks vision. Dancers are still splendid, but where is the creativity? As they say in Russia, without that, the game is not worth the candle.
Telegraph, London

-Mr. Cupcake
Rest of Day 2-Monday November 11
So, today at work went fine. I talked to one of the payroll ladies and while it was somewhat difficult to understand her we made due. We later learned that the head guy here, who sounds like he is from Texas, has lived here for the past 14 years and speaks perfect Russian. I would have never guessed.
Alex, our interpreter/resource, recommended a few restaurants for us to try and a larger grocery store for us to shop at. So, off we went. It was about a 15 minute walk to the Ichiban. Yes, you read correctly, Ichiban. Apparently, sushi is very popular here, so we thought we'd give it a try. It was eh. Not horrible but not fantastic either. It certainly didn't come anywhere close to my favorite or any of my favorites for that matter. And I don't have a desire to go back. The more interesting part about the afternoon and dinner was that we were joined by another co-worker who is not in our group but works for the company and works on some of the same type of things. Her name is Dagmar and she is German. As one of my co-worker started to say tonight "so there are four americans here and people always think that the reputation of americans are spoiled, loud and ungracious" and I finished it with "until you met a German." Which isn't what he was going to say but was a perfect ending.

Colonel Francis Wayland Parker, an associate of John Dewey, assumed the role of Principal of the Cook County Normal School in 1883. The training of teachers, he felt, was the best means of spreading the gospel of activity and freedom-freedom for both students and teachers. In his eighteen years as principal, he built a faculty that was not afraid to experiment or to introduce innovations. Most of all, he built a faculty greatly interested in childhood education.
He eschewed rote memorization, whether it was arithmetic, the alphabet or spelling. Addition and subtraction was taught practicing measuring with a 12 inch ruler. He maintained that getting the answer right was not enough if the child does not know what the answer signified. He went on to say that "Ontogeny" or the development of the individual child recapitulates Phylogeny, or the evolution of the human race. Put another way, he maintained "the way we teach our children will determine the fate of human kind".
