I had a corrective text #fail yesterday. Thats when you try and type something on your iPhone and it corrects it to something completely different in what you originally meant to say.
I said this:
I meant to say, "portrayed" but it came out as "betrayed" (don't ask me how that happened). My friend Paul picked up on the slip, but also made a great point.
This is what he said:
As much as it annoys me that men are portrayed as caring more about the coolness of their beverage then their wife or girlfriend, there might be a bigger point here.
Are men in America being betrayed by the way they are portrayed by hollywood?
Mark Driscoll has always been considered a mans man (argument aside as to what you think about his MMA love and fighting). He has openly and publicly said he goes after men because he believes that men are the key to the family. I could not agree more with his sentiments and approach to ministering to his local community.
Lets face it, guys do not have the greatest reputation nor do they embody the character of Christ all the time. I got my theories as to why (can someone say mentors) but I am curious to hear your thoughts.
Are men in America being betrayed by the characters on Television?
Is the Portrayal correct?

I was revamping our budget tonight (more on that later) and decided to update all our accounts. We have recently dropped under $20,000 in "bad" debt! I am so excited. Our current total is $19,953.12. Not too far under $20K, but still.
Now I know this is still A LOT of debt to be in. Considering that in October 2006 we peaked at $38,440 in credit card debt, I am really really proud of us. We've come a long way in less than a year. It's very encouraging to know that despite some recent regressions, we're still making headway. I still plan on making one more payment in August as well.
Based on our current numbers and the new budget, we will be credit card debt free in March 2008. I am a little disappointed that we had to adjust our original goal of becoming debt free by the end of 2007. However, I know that in the long run 3 months will make little difference.

Not All Men, But These Ones
Trigger Warning for the many ways we experience violence at the hands of (not all) men, including CSA, SA, rape, VAWG.
I saw a quote a while back that hit home for me. I can't find it now, but it went something like this:
The issue is not that all men are violent. The issue is that nearly all women have experienced violence at the hands of men.
The sad but true fact is that while not all men are violent, men do commit violence against women and non-binary people (and other men—in fact, according to the FBI, most violent crimes are committed by men).
I have told parts of my story before here and there. And I suspect that I will do so again. In this case, I'm reprising my tale now in order to join others who have shared their litanies of violence as a counter to the superfluous yet oh-so-ubiquitous cries of "not all men." Because FFS, dudes. Enough already.
"Not all men" is a derailing tactic and serves literally no other purpose than to focus attention away from male violence and center it on the man decrying the unfairness of it all.
When people who are not men say "men do this," we're reporting that our experience is that enough men do this that it stands out that men do this. The fact that men do this contributes to an overall feeling of oppression. Men do engage in behaviors that perpetuate patriarchy. Men do engage in behaviors that perpetuate sexism and misogyny. Men do these things without even thinking about them because the men who came before them did it and because too often no one does so much as turn away in disapproval when it happens.
Not all men did these things to me, but these men did.
The man who sucked my tongue, fondled my genitals, and taught me to give him a blow job when I was three.
The man who was my uncle by marriage and came in my mouth when I was six, then spent hours trying to get into my underwear as we camped out in the yard.
The man who fondled my nipples when I was seven or eight during a nighttime hide-and-go-seek game at my cousin's house.
The man who flexed his exposed erection at me and my friend when we were 9 via the leg of his shorts.
The man—a trusted family friend—who gave me music lessons when I was 9 and performed oral sex on me while my parents weren't home.
The man who used a finger cot to make his penis small enough to fit inside me when I was 10. Who also gave me a cigar tube to practice with at home.
The man who pulled his truck over as I walked down the street, opened his door, stepped out naked and masturbated while staring at me.
The 14-year-old boy who violently raped me when I was 12 and smoking weed with him in a fort behind my neighbor's house.
The man who had sex with me in his van knowing that I was a 12-year-old rape victim (but probably not really believing that second part).
The boys and men who repeatedly "pantsed" me over my loud objections and ridiculed me when I was angry.
The two men who took turns raping me while I was passed out drunk at my first kegger when I was 14.
The many, many men—adults—who gave me alcohol and drugs and got their rocks off on me when I was a troubled teen.
The man who exposed his genitals to me in a grocery store parking lot when I was 16.
The man who spent a drunken night trying to coerce me into sleeping with him when I was 16.
The man who raped me when I was 16 because I said no after a night of partying with him and his friend.
The man who attempted to grab me on a dark street as I rode my bike to a friend's house, 16 and pregnant, and only stopped because I scared him with my primal and guttural GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME.
The man who beat the shit out of me in front of my 2-year-old for leaving a party when I was 18.
The man who decided that the fact that I was unconscious on his sofa meant he could go ahead and rape me.
The man who thought because we were friends and had been sexual in the past, it was ok to straddle my drunken body and ejaculate on my chest after I said no to sex.
The many men who have wished me harm here on my blog and on social media.
How many men is enough? How many men must commit violence upon my person before it's ok if I just say "men did this"?
Men did these things. Not all men. But enough of them that this list is not even complete. Men did these things. And every time some dude Kool-Aid-Mans into a thread where people who are not men discuss male violence to declare that not all men did these things, the only thing he makes clear is that he is utterly ignorant and unwilling to listen to people who are not just like him.
Not all men. Just dozens of men in my case. Hundreds if you count my circle of friends and relatives. Thousands if you count their friends and the people they love.
And that's enough.

Pro Bono Editing Services for Marginalized Writers
Everyone—especially everyone writing for publication—needs an editor. Unfortunately, not all publications employ copyeditors, and not everyone can afford to hire an editor to polish their work before it goes live. As an editor with 20+ years experience, this is a need I can help fill.
I am offering one short-form editing slot per month to Social Justice writers from marginalized groups, privileging the most marginalized voices: Women of Color, trans women, disabled women of color—you get the picture. This does not mean that if you are not described above I won't edit your piece—it simply means that these slots will likely fill up fast and I will provide these free services to the most marginalized among us first.
If you are writing for publication and think your piece might benefit from an editing pass before you submit it, feel free to contact me via my Facebook page.

Homophobes and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

A Quick Note to Those Who Threatened Lindy West (and People Like Her)
[Trigger Warning for Rape and Rape Threats]
To Whom it May Concern:
"You're too ugly to be raped. I want to rape you just to shut you up."
Look at what you just did.
Seriously. Stop, right now, and reread that.
You started by pretending that you believe rape is about sex and desire. That rape is something you do when you can't control your hormones any longer and must bed someone immediately, with or without their consent. You want to continue to push the idea that rape is about sex and desire because it helps you keep control, and it helps you silence those who speak out.
But you immediately betrayed yourself.
Immediately, you demonstrated that you actually know that rape is about violence, that it's about control, that it's about power. You know it isn't about sex or desire. You push that it's about sex because that helps you continue to use it as a control mechanism. If I convince you that my machine gun is really just a fluffy bunny, you'll stop trying to take it away from me, and I can continue to use it against you.
You aren't stupid. Rather, you feign stupidity in the hopes that your opponents will believe you or finally shut up and submit to you. It won't work, though. You've shown your hand. You've shown that you do understand rape, and you do know exactly what you're doing.
You can't hide behind your lies anymore.

On Loss
This post seems to have been written especially for me, though I know that's because it came from a place inside the author that we all share. As she once said to me, "I've lived some of this. You were there beside me when I was going through it; I was there beside you when you were. We just didn't know it at the time. The important part is, we know it now." Thanks, Amy, for putting this out there. My tears are for all of us.
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
They say you learn to be better at something, the more you do it. It becomes ingrained; it's like breathing, or putting one foot in front of the other, or riding the proverbial bike. You learn something, you become quite good at that thing. You're an old hand.
I don't know if you ever learn to be good at losing things you love. You learn to be quieter about it, maybe; to not cry and wail in public, to keep the tears inside, to stiff-upper-lip the whole thing. It's not seemly, you see. Not for adults. Children can cry over such things. Adults need to carry on. It is what we do. Or, at least, what we're supposed to do.
Lose something every day. Accept…

Dove Does Not Give A Shit About Whether Or Not You Feel Beautiful
There are times when I want to reblog everything The Belle Jar posts, but really you ought to just follow her. This is awesome and true. You are beautiful, and Dove doesn't care, but I do. Anne does. Real people care and want you to know that you are amazing and unique and the best possible you that could ever exist. <3
Sometimes I feel like social media turns me into some kind of awful, gruesome caricature of a feminist. I spend waayyyy too much time jumping in on Facebook posts or tweets or blogs to explain why this specific thing, whatever it happens to be, is actually problematic. And I try not to do this, honest I do. I know that it's annoying as fuck. I know that I come off like I'm Lisa Simpson except ten times worse and with more swears. I know that. I promise I do.
All of this is to explain why I have been so quiet and patient about Dove's latest marketing campaign, Dove Real Beauty Sketches. I haven't said anything about it. Nada. Zilch. Haven't commented on anyone's links, haven't tweeted about it, haven't even whispered darkly about it to myself when I'm alone at night and unlikely to offend anyone.

Always Aware: Keeping our eye on the meaning of SAAM
The Sin City Siren joins the #Always#Aware campaign for #SAAM. Yeah, feminist blogging collaborations are awesome. This one has evolved with feedback from readers, which is even better (working to clarify the message). Your feedback and participation are welcome. <3
I love feminist blogging collaborations! It's why I participate in so many blog carnivals and feminist tweetchats — to hang out with other feminists! Well, not so much hang out, as type with them. But, you know what I mean.
For Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), I'm partnering with the feminist blog Make Me A Sammich to launch the #AlwaysAware campaign. In truth, they had a good idea and I'm just happy to tag along!
As Rosie explains in this post, the point of the #AlwaysAware campaign is to highlight the need for awareness and education. But it's not about making another campaign that puts the onus on victims. It's about exposing the ever-present-threat-experience of rape culture. We live in a society that sets up a misogynistic, false-binary system of oppression of "people to-be-raped" and "people who are rapists."
Here, I'll let her explain:

This conversation needs to happen in classrooms everywhere.
Yesterday, the news invaded my classroom. I think the kids aren't paying attention. I think the kids only care about the news as it relates to Justin Bieber. I think they aren't listening or capable of advanced thought. Every single time I think one of those things, I sell out the ninth-graders that come traipsing through my room every day.
It started when I picked this poem to go over different ways to look at poetry:

I've never thought of writing as a job, even when I was a full-time staff writer in the daily press. My approach has always been "write what you love, and the money will follow."
Currently, HubPages is getting most of my stuff as I am engaged in building up my body of work here. At the same time, my primary blog is shaming me for being negligent where it is concerned. I've scouted out sites like Helium, Constant Content and Textbroker; but I have yet to seriously target them. Finally, I have a book-in-progress with Creative Space that glares at me from the far back burner.

A 15-year-old Thomson High School student is being detained at the Augusta Regional Youth Detention Center after a gun was found Thursday afternoon in his book bag at the school.
McDuffie County Schools Superintendent Mark Petersen said the handgun was unloaded and the student was taken in a McDuffie school system security car to YDC.
A spokesperson with the Thomson City Police Department said Friday the department had not been called concerning the incident, and no report had been filed. Dr. Petersen said the juvenile, whose name wasn't released, would have a hearing before a judge in McDuffie County Monday morning.
"And we'll see what happens to him," Dr. Petersen said. "And he'll be going through our tribunal system. He won't be back in our school."

Plz post if anyone know a good youtube downloader , which let you download videos into avi/mpeg/mp4 formats
A good youtube downloader ?
Plz post if anyone know a good youtube downloader , which let you download videos into avi/mpeg/mp4 formats
Naevius YouTube Converter is a pretty slick piece of shareware.
Of course, you could always do a search for a freeware version of such a program...
And as I've suggested before, you could look into an online FLV converter, such as Vixy.net...
http://tubecodes.com - They should have gotten sued by now.
You don't even need a program for that
Vixy is one of the best ones out there.
OS Master
I have used Vixy many times and it is the best one I have come across. I hope our suggestions have helped.
Does somebody know if it is possible to download videos from other site except youtube and googlevideo with vixy?
KeepVid.com downloads videos from pretty much any site, but it keeps them in FLV format.
Very nice. Thank you
just grab the youtube grabber very easy to use and its free
you find it at download.com search for youtube grabber
This one i found is great it is a website where you enter the url and you can also choose which format you want to convert the video to and then you can download it.
As someone mentioned the best solution is: keepvid.com to save video as flv, and Batch Flv Converter: http://www.ripzor.com/flvconverter.html to convert flv file to avi, mpeg.
If You Have Firefox Use The Video Downloader Plugin Or Use Vixy One Of Them 2 And After Just Use media-convert.com To Convert Them For Free!
there is a special youtube and google video downloader
just google youtube downloader and u can find him
written by Enrique Puertas.
2-FFMPEG is distributed under LGPL. You can get more information
about FFMpeg at: http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net
I use firefox with the videodownloader extension... it saves it in .flv format and then you can convert to any other format.
Yeah, same here. I use the video downloader extension with firefox. Basically, it picks it up from its roots, the flv. Then you can use a convertor to convert it to anything that you need. I use it for ipod vids...works well./.
I think the newest real player 11 or something can download youtube videos. I didnt try out though but I think I heard and saw it somewhere that it can.
it is a pity that vixy.net doesn't work for me...
I don't know why??????????
keepvid.com is great.
The site is often too busy, and doesn't work. Try it at different times of the day. But I too have recently installed the above mentioned video downloader firefox extension, which is much better than vixy.net.
I have like 10 youtube vids on my ipod by using 3 things... including itunes.
keepvid is the best
I use KeepVid.com as well, and use SUPER to convert them into other formats, such as MP4 (for my iPod). It's simply....well, SUPER!
Try out Ook Video for Mozilla Firefox extensions. It does all the tricks for you. And for playing FLV, try to google FLV players. There are numerous freewares around for that.
you can use the free flv downloader to download flv files, and you can use Moyea FLV to Video Converter to convert flv to videos, I always use it, it works well.
vixy looks gr8
thanks for the link
I personally love Wondershare Youtube downloader (The link is www.wondershare.com ) if I remember correctly. It is well-designed, very user-friendly, easy to use and also has a lot of features. Just give it a try, I am sure you will love it
But if you don't want a program, then Vixy is a good one, I used to use their service before I grabbed the free version of Wondershare Youtube Downloader.
Since I'm looking for FREE sw, first (and almost only), the FLV converter is out.
Are there any other free FLV converters?
Super does this, but I haven't used it yet (still converting AVI files, slowly)
Super is free. But it doesn't give the same 4/3 conversion ration that the FLV file seems to have, so I'm not sure which of 5:4 or 11:9 to choose.
A Super tutorial would be nice...
But my plan is to grab ... Naruto from youtube in English, or maybe from bitTorrents, and burn them on DVDs to watch.
Online downloaders:
Program for downloading:
Try them all and then find out, which suits the best for you.
cool thanks also for the links, i'll check out some of them now especially that vixy one
IDM can catch YouTube link and then you can download it easily.
I don't use any other Downloader 'cuz IDM can do all except for catching MMS link...That's bored.
Install this Add On in firefox download .flv video and youcan play it with VLC media player. Don't use any converters and other similar programs.
i was using VDownloader....
it's freeware..
easy to used ...
easy to download..
can convert to mp4,mp3,avi
Da Rossa
Orbit Downloader is the tool!
http://vid-recon.tk For Downloading in FLV
And USE FLV>AVi converter xD
Da Rossa
No reason to use FLV > AVI converter, just use Media Player Classic that can handle it.
When you are surfing the Internet, you are to encounter funny videos from time to time on the video sharing sites, such as YouTube, Music, Myspace, Metacafe, Google Video, iFilm, Dailymotion, etc. It must be made clear that the videos posted on these public sites are all in the FLV file format. The FLV is a proprietary file format for publishing videos online. It offers high rates of compression, facilitating online delivery.
Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro allows users to convert FLV to DVD, specifically, to convert FLV downloaded from YouTube, Myspace, etc, to MPEG-encoded DVD files for playback on the DVD players to share with your friends or family. This is how:
1. Launch the program, you can import the source FLV files into the program by following the on-screen instructions. Then you can see the effect of the particular source FLV files in the Preview Panel on the right side of the File List on the interface.
2. Settings
Click on the Settings tab, and you can proceed to set the parameters of the end video file. Select MPEG for the Export Type, and NTSC DVD/PAL DVD for Sub-type. The Frame Size of the DVD file format has been pre-configured by the program to cater to different resolutions.
Besides the export type, you can set other parameters, including the frame rate, bit rate, etc.
When you have completed the settings, you can save the favorite settings in the Profile box.

Click on the Convert tab, and you can proceed to encode the desired DVD file. Then you can put the video on your DVD and enjoy it on TV.
thunderfish this Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro is not a free one, is it ? whats the best free one which can download not only from youtube but also from other video sites ?
yes, moyea flv to video converter is not free, but u can have a free trial, no time limited, it can not only download flv from youtube, but also from google video, myspace, and other websites.
if you want the free converter, supper works well, but sometimes it is weired in the end of my video, you can also use some online ones, such as http://www.convertdirect.com
try TubeLeecher.com
Works great
If you're on a mac, Tooble is a really good one. its pretty new. it downloads and converts automatically to an iPod compatible mp4 format. Also its free.
I think it's very easy to download flv file from Youtube.
The program called "Iinternet Download Manager (IDM) " can do that ^^
Let allow this pic
And u can open that file (*.flv file) with "K-Lite Codec Pack" - the code pack which can open all of media file type ^^
Home : www.free-codes.com
link download : http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/filepilot/windows/multimedia/video/k-lite_codec_pack/klcodec370f.exe
Well normally one would want to save a file after watching, so why download it again? when its already there in your temp internet folder, you just have to copy, paste ...change extension to .flv and play in VLC media player works fine.
You can usually get the url for the flv file from the activity window of most browsers.
Hmm didn't think about it before but worth to try. how do you find the fine in Temp ?
How to find a .flv file in your Windows cache/Temporary Internet Files folder:
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
Inside the above folder, you should see some folders named with random letters & numbers.
Whatever you've downloaded from the 'net or looked at on a webpage should be in those folders.
My method for finding a particular file you've downloaded is to sort all of the files in those individual folders by certain criteria, depending on what you're looking for.
If you're looking for videos, programs or MP3's, they're obviously gonna be pretty large in filesize.
So, sort by size.
--> Right-click in a Windows Explorer folder --> "Arrange Icons" --> by Size
If you were paying attention to the time when you were downloading a file and have multiple files in multiple folders with the same name and closely related in size, (ex. YouTube videos are all named "getvideo(1), getvideo(2), etc... with no file extension), then sort by date.
The easiest way to change the sorting method in a folder is to view all of the files in a folder using the "Details" view.
---> In a Windows Explorer folder, on the top toolbar, go up to "View" --> Details
Once you're sure you've got the file you want, copy & paste it on the Desktop so it's easy for you to work with it.
Make sure you've got Windows Explorer set to display file extensions, so you'll know what you're adding or changing.
---> In a Windows Explorer folder, on the top toolbar, go up to "Tools" --> Folder Options --> View tab --> Uncheck the box that says "Hide file extensions for known file types."
A super-easy way to show or hide a file's extension is by installing this handy-dandy Shell Extension known as FileExtToggle (119k)
Then there's also the same super-easy way of showing or hiding hidden files with HiddenFilesToggle (119k)
After all of that, you've just got to add/change the file extension of those files that you KNOW are videos to .flv
dude why are you converting flv to anything?
I just use Media Player Classic to play them (under package of CCCP)
Thats what I use, and its never failed me. Also VLC works very nicley as a trans-coder to convert the FLV file to mpeg so other people can view it more easily.
If you need to Media Convert works very nicely for converting FLV files to other formats too.
you can download the videos .
Only you need is to put the address of the video which you want to download in this website
http://vixy.net .This website is good because it will allow u download the file in avi,mov,mp3,3gp,mp3(audio only) format.
Also there is a software called orbit by which you can grab the videos .To download it go to
http://www.orbitdownloader.com/ .This software is free.
To grab the video you have to switch on grab++ before watching that particular video.
It will automatically grab the link of that video.
I think tihs is one of the best YouTube downloader: http://convertyoutube.com/ .
Recently Youtube have changed there coding with video shairing. Some download sites need to be ungraded/updated to new situation
It's not limited too just youTube either. When it light's up and spins in a circle, download away!
l've used this with megavideo, some japanese hosting sites, youtube, dailymotion. It even gives a list what will work with, just press and it boosts up a list you can use. Also let me spread too other sites that l didn't know existed. Highly recommend!
FireFox + DownloadHelper
CCleaner cleans garbage/registry errors out of the Windows.
And if you need too convert, format factory.
Pretty much the first things l install and run every new machine.
For me it has to be with Firefox download helper add-on.
This add-on to firefox allows downloading and also conversion.
This has been my choice for the last 2 years.
Only draw back is that it only runs in Firefox.
um....yeah... who says good youtube downloaders have to be on your computer?
try http://mediaconverter.org
it can download youtube files and export them to many formats. you can also convert formats of files on the web or on your computer.
Thanks to ProwerBot.
The site looks great, have not tried it yet - is it free?
Any limitations - such as must post to forum to keep account alive?
Oh I got mixed up with Frihost.
Just kidding and earn some extra points to be keep active.
Hmm... StreamTransport is free and it downloads in flv but you can easily convert with Format Factory.
http://www.video2mp3.net/nl/ works for me
You can try this free youtube downloader.
I use AHI YouTube downloader
Download video off YouTube, Metacafe, imeem, Break.com, Dailymotion, Veoh, Yahoo video, Google video, MySpace.
I prefer use use Flash to Video Encoder PRO.It's prog for convert flv to many different formats.Try
Search YouTube Downloader on Google to download your favorite videos.
I use this website www.youtubedownloaderhd.com/. hope it works for you
nice link
Internet Download Manager i think also better to download tube files ?
On android phones a great downloader is TubeMate. It can be found on the Amazon app store.
Internet download manager (for Windows). It is not free, but it integrates a very good downloader into the browser. And it even accelerates the download speed (just a bit, but the speed difference is slightly good).
I am using http://youtubedownloader.org/ but on some music is the quality very poor.
I am using JDownloader 2, and it can cope with lots other web sites too.
firefox browser plugin +1
I have used clipconverter.cc many times to download music from YouTube videos, but it also doubles as a video downloader. It's extremely versatile, letting crop which section of the video you want. I've always been curious how these websites work, and which one is really giving you the highest quality possible from a raw YouTube link. I've always been into high fidelity
youtubeinmp4.com/ ----> is great!!!
if the youtube player is not HTML5 you can simply Save the webpage or copy the mp4 from the cached page, but since we're getting HTML5 player force-fed this option is no longer available.
I've been using this one lately: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ and I'm quite happy with it.
Currently I have been using 2 firefox plugins to do that
1. Flash and Video Download: grabs flash videos.
2. DownThenAll: best download manager I have found.
I also use downthemall but use it with downloadhelper. This way earn me speed and time.
I use a Firefox Extension Easy Youtube Video Download Express. Works well and very fast.
Try www.clipconverter.cc it's a very good dowloader, it gives you the possibility of dowloading in several formats as .mp4 .avi or even mp3 if you want to convert the media. and th most inportant thing is that it dowload very long videos such as movies and so on.
Da Rossa
Works perfectly for me the 1-click video downloader Firefox expansion. I can choose between a number of formats and picture sizes for the downloaded video from youtube.
I highly recommend youtube-dl.
Best I ever used.[/url]
Youtube-dl is the very best .
The above is a command-line application. The gui version is good as well.
Well. useful video downloader I have used: YouTubeinmp4, Keepvid, catchvideos
Easy to use but it takes long time to analyze video URl sometimes.
I just try this one http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/keepvid-alternative.html to download videos recently. 1080P videos also work fine with it.
And it is free of charge. Its ok.
I found this app for more or less a year and haven't found anything easier than this. It is called mps-youtube. It lets you watch youtube videos, download a copy of the video and even downloading an mp3 version of the video. It is available in Linux, Macintosh, and Windows operating system. I am using it on both my Linux and Windows 10 Machine. Hope you like it too.
i think that a good program is http://yvd.sourceforge.net/
it's also opòen source, this is ever good!

Few women make it into the top ranks of chefs in New York City. It's even harder for women who are not U.S. citizens. But Azhar Fateh tells us about one young Pakistani woman who has broken this barrier.


text:
We're starting a unit on the Middle Ages and of course feudalism is at the center of this time period in Europe. So rather than sit down and read from the textbook about it, I showed them. I split them, the serfs, into two groups, each run by a Lord or Lady. Then I had everyone go outside and pick as many 1″ pieces of grass as they could in five minutes. I told them that each piece of grass signified a week's worth of food. And I told the Lord and Lady that by the end of the five minutes I needed to have 250 pieces, that whatever was left over they could keep half for themselves and they'd need to give the other half to the serfs.
I won't bore you with the details of the lesson plan, but I'll give you a couple of highlights. First, I was the Queen. Of course I was the Queen. And the kids were more than happy to declare that they hated the Queen and wanted to run away. I told them that phrase was punishable by death, and they giggled. "Could a Queen ever love a slave?" one boy called out romantically to me while he bent down to pick grass. It was my turn to giggle then and reply with a sharp, "Don't talk to me, Serf. Get back to work." It was fabulous. This activity today did nothing for my own royalty complex which, at school anyway, is larger than life. But we totally fed off of each other's energy and by the end of the day, my 7th graders were calling me "Your Majesty." "Ms. C–" they'd begin, "I mean, Your Majesty."
After class was over, two kids–the Lord and the Lady I'd chosen for the day–stayed for several minutes to talk about their experience of getting the other kids to work for them. They critiqued the work ethics of the "serfs" and admitted their frustration with the serfs not understanding how important it was that they produce the "food." And even an hour after class, four kids came in to talk about the activity. I was so excited about the fact that kids were thinking about what we'd done and it occurred to me how much trust a teacher has to earn from her students to be able to do an activity like that. Naturally, 7th graders tend to welcome energetic activities, but rarely do they sink in with the weight this one did today. I'm eager to hear what they have to say tomorrow in class.
How much fun did I and my 7th graders have in History today? Like, SO much. Duh.

Late last week Credit Suisse came to market with a $330 million jumbo deal, which contains a wrinkle on representation and warranty clauses.
According to a research note from Standard & Poor's, the difference between this jumbo bond and earlier ones issued by CS is that the new one includes time limits, or a sunset provision, where "investors may make claims for breaches of two particular representations and warranties from the relevant originator or R&W back-stop provider."
S&P adds, "In addition, the offering attempts to clarify what constitutes a breach of an R&W."
The RMBS market has attempted to balance the interests of investors and issuers while providing clear guidelines to all participants involved in the securitization process.
"We believe that traditional R&W provisions merit attention to provide greater clarity on repurchase responsibilities," S&P said.
S&P gave the bond high ratings, but Fitch—which did not rate the deal—said it has insufficient credit enhancement to achieve an AAA rating.

** Johnny's Half Shell
400 N. Capitol St. NW
Open: lunch Monday through Friday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., dinner Monday through Saturday 5 to 10 p.m. Closed Sundays. AE, MC, V. No smoking. Metro: Union Station. Free validated parking at dinner. Prices: appetizers $6.50 to $11, entrees $16 to $28. Full dinner with wine, tax and tip about $70 per person.
If you have a sweet tooth, you're going to cheer the "new" Johnny's Half Shell. The popular seafood restaurant moved across town over the summer -- from its cozy digs in Dupont Circle to the sprawling space previously occupied by La Colline on Capitol Hill -- and in the process added a pastry chef to its ranks. No routine baker, Valerie Hill distinguished herself for six years at Majestic Cafe in Alexandria, where her nostalgia-inducing coconut cake and buttermilk pie inspired NASCAR-esque devotion. Hers were the kind of finales that dared you to leave crumbs and that demanded you come back for more.
They still are. In keeping with Johnny's tradition of simple, unfussy cooking, the desserts celebrate the familiar. Banana cream pudding -- topped with an elegant tuft of meringue -- makes an appearance, along with a lovely apple crumb pie treated to golden lashings of cider sauce. As at the original, ice creams run to such velvety textures and appealing flavors as fresh ginger. With every bite of Hill's fluffy coconut-passion fruit layer cake and free-form chocolate napoleon, I'm reminded of her penchant for extracting maximum pleasure from few but fine ingredients. Her creations are like little black dresses, always in good taste.
I wish I could say the same for the rest of the menu. Fans of the first Johnny's will be reassured to sit down to many of the same options -- oyster po' boys at lunch, fritto misto at dinner and grilled squid anytime -- though their execution on the Hill has been less consistent. As much as its namesake, John Fulchino, hoped to retain the neighborhood character of the seafood joint he created in 1999 with chef Ann Cashion, some facts get in the way: The business has swollen in size, from 60 to 300 seats and from 1,800 square feet to 10,000, and with the extra space comes the need for more hands on deck.
"Our goal was to move the Half Shell, not open a new restaurant," says Cashion. While she and Fulchino brought their entire 45-member crew over from Dupont Circle, they also recruited a lot of new blood to support the venture, and it shows. The grilled squid that I overindulged in in seasons past now tastes too much of smoke, and the halibut might spend far more time than is best for it on the stovetop. "Where are the soft-shells coming from?" I asked a server one night. "Venezuela," she misinformed me.
Reminders of the good ol' days surface in an order of chicken wings, their seasoning something Buffalo might envy, and each meaty bite improved by a dunk in a ramekin of cool, pale green herb dip. A platter of raw oysters resurrects happy memories, too. There are usually three or more varieties to slurp, and they're presented on crushed ice, glistening in their juices and neatly shucked. All you get from the display is the pure and fragrant taste of the sea. Fried oysters are almost as good (frankly, I'm partial to the lightly pickled vegetables that garnish the first course). Cashion reminds us of her Southern roots -- and of Johnny's on P Street NW -- with every spoonful of licorice-colored gumbo, crammed with bites of seafood, chopped celery and rice, and seasoned with woodsy filé powder. The heat of the dusky Creole classic comes through, but not at the expense of the other flavors in the bowl.
But where's the punch in the "barbecued" shrimp (and any discernible sign of asiago cheese in its grits)? The seafood is carefully cooked but blah; it could use bolder seasoning. Johnny's once-vivid seafood stew finds a pretty still life of mussels, squid, shrimp and fish arranged on tender cubes of carrots and celery, but they don't get much support from the broth, which tasted like watered-down orange juice, and appeared to be missing its promised tomato, fennel and basil the last time I tried it.
Food this subtle needs a counterpoint to keep it interesting -- a sprinkle of sea salt, a lively sauce -- but that's not always forthcoming from this kitchen. That overcooked halibut was lapped with a brilliant piquillo pepper sauce that had all the zip of a zucchini. A diner could always count on nice soups and salads at the original; the new restaurant dispenses an underseasoned eggplant and red pepper soup, and a roasted squash salad that is flat despite its apple cider sauce.
Cashion is a good food director, known for casting just the right side dish or garnish opposite her leads. Johnny's mostly-crab crab cakes, as light and luscious as ever, come with a sprightly tartar sauce and a slaw of julienned vegetables that looks undressed but is in fact moistened with a sassy vinaigrette of red and rice wines. Offered into early October, soft-shell crabs are simply sauteed and paired with a bursting-with-corn pudding that is so delicious I was tempted to order more crabs for another taste of vegetable. But crab imperial loses points for a heavy crumb topping and a plate of frigid, undercooked green beans.
The menu acknowledges meat eaters with a beef filet (dig the marrow) and a po' boy with flavorful (but too few) slices of roast beef tucked between halves of a gently crisp roll. The sandwich comes with a bag of Zapp's thick-cut potato chips, made in Louisiana. Nice touch.
I'd return to Johnny's just to sip. The owners clearly want their customers to drink well, offering a thick list of wines that go beyond the usual -- three rosés by the glass, half-bottles that include the rare Tablas Creek Esprit de Beaucastel blanc (made mostly from roussanne), and banyuls among the dessert pours. And they tickle the fancy of wine geeks by printing the names of importers alongside the labels: If Kermit Lynch or Robert Kacher is importing it, I want to try it. The choices from Europe are especially appealing, in terms of both variety and value.
The owners have also done an admirable job of turning a tired French restaurant into a bustling seafood purveyor, carving the place into four separate areas, one featuring an intimate alcove; the last evokes the semi-private booths at Tadich Grill in San Francisco, one of the owners' sources of interior inspiration. The new Johnny's suggests the old in its tiny tile floors and cream-colored walls -- And look! The aquarium is back behind the bar! -- but a walk around the place reveals just how large a chunk of land the restaurant covers. You may need a map to get to the bathroom.
The intimacy created by low ceilings and tight seating was part of the original's charm. At full throttle, however, the relocated restaurant could pass for Legal Sea Foods. And the service is like the cooking: mixed. The waiters in their crisp white jackets are either of the calm and collected steakhouse school, or wide-eyed and harried. To its credit, Johnny's puts plenty of managers on the floor, including the affable Fulchino.
Bigger isn't better at Johnny's Half Shell on the Hill. Not yet. But maybe bigger will get smoother as the staff adjusts to its new home. All I can promise right now is really good slurping, really good drinking and desserts that leave only smiles in their wake.

Adam Mills sends some scientific explanations about cycling performance in the heat:
"As the summer settles in and the mercury routinely climbs towards the top of the thermometer, heat becomes a factor in racing and training. Many people write articles about what happens and many authors say the normal, "drink water and stay cool." But that doesn't really give the extreme conditions the respect that they deserve. When it feels like you're on the surface of the sun, what are some real and effective steps you can take to help you perform better than those around you in the heat? We'll talk about this and provide some insight on what happens based on the newest research driven in part to prepare athletes to compete in the extreme conditions seen at the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Athens, and Beijing.
The limits of human capacity.
The need to be able to perform in hot and humid conditions is growing with the importance and competitiveness of sport. However, steps should be taken to account for the primary limiting factor to performance in heat: Core Temperature. The limit is 104F. As your core approaches this number, the brain becomes more and more focused on shutting down the body to prevent permanent damage. So instead of stubbornly trying to "beat" this number (and failing), efforts should be spent keeping the core temperature below this ceiling.
Physiological Reality of Training and Racing in Heat
The primary fallacy of training in the heat is that many athletes and even coaches assume that because one can not work at the same level for as long, that the Functional Threshold Power (FTP) of the athlete lowers in the middle of the summer. However, upon some critical thought, along with the new and current research, that line of logic while practically true, is not the case physiologically. This means that while your FTP in hot and humid conditions may be "low," normal physiological indicators of Lactate Threshold (note the difference in terms) show that you are, in fact, no longer training hard enough to "bump" your fitness. This becomes painfully obvious when traveling from a hot climate to a cool climate mid- late season as a "de-training" effect can and will occur unless...
From a training perspective, it is important to make adjustments to your training that allow you continue to meet the physiological demands of the sport at all levels and climates. This means that the same intensities and time at intensities are needed but in a manner that will not cause you to overheat.
Heat and Altitude, the Parallels
As we pour over the research here, the parallels begin to surface between heat and altitude:
Similar in that in order to become acclimatized, chronic prolonged exposure must occur. This means, for heat you will need 3 hours or more exposure over 5-12 consecutive days. There's no way around that.
Performance is not improved by racing and training in heat or at altitude. Many associate acclimating to training in the conditions. Just like Live High Train Low (LHTL) is the BEST way to use altitude, living in warm conditions and training in cool conditions is the best way to become accustomed to heat while minimizing the stress that heat places on your body.
Heat and altitude illness become easier to "catch" with each recurrence. Once you overdo it, you're taking a step backwards in your tolerance. Training until you become "too hot to continue" is NOT a good decision.
Heat and altitude lower your performance, albeit in different ways. Altitude is through a lowered partial pressure due to oxygen (pronounced, "less air up high"). Heat lowers performance by making the limiting factor how much core temperature you can tolerate. More power produced = more heat produced. More heat= more core temperature and higher core temperature= lower performance.
Both heat and altitude add physical stress to your body. However, unlike altitude, you can take a multitude of steps to lower and maintain core temperature even in hot conditions.
So as you pin a number or air up your tires, remember that heat and humidity will hurt your performance to some degree and are two forces you absolutely must respect. Have fun and stay safe.

Santa Was Here! Come see the kitchen goodies he left…I hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas and are continuing to enjoy the season. I do apologize for the blog being sparse over the last week or so, but Christmas gatherings, holiday orders and enjoyment of the holiday with loved ones kept me unplugged much of the time. But, I'm back and have some exciting things planned for the new year, so be sure to stay in the loop by subscribing through RSS or email (use the box in the right sidebar for email subscriptions). For now though, I wanted to share with you the wonderful kitchen items that I received for Christmas.
The Grand Daddy of Gifts
My Chief Culinary Consultant Santa brought me this sexy mama:
That's right, a KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer with a monster motor. I can't even begin to tell you all how excited I am. While my Artisan hasn't quite died yet, it may have started to march toward the light a couple of weeks ago when I was kneading dough for dinner rolls and plumes of smoke rose from the mixer. It has only been a matter of time for quite awhile now, so I am beyond grateful for this wonderful gift. So far I have made soft pretzels (recipe coming soon – they were the best I've ever made!) and a pound cake with the new mixer and it lives up to all its hype. I just want to keep making things so I can see it in action!
I received Gourmet Today and The Cake Bible. I haven't had a chance to go through them in detail yet, but they are both books I've been eyeing up for quite some time, so I'm excited to dive into them.
Food Photography Books
I also received two books dedicated to food photography: Digital Food Photography and Food Styling for Photographers. I am excited to go through these books and start to put new ideas to work!
More Kitchen Toys
A new baking stone! You may remember back in the summer when I made calzones that my beloved pizza stone cracked in half. I finally have a replacement for it and I can't wait to make some homemade pizza and rustic breads on it. This is the stone that Cook's Illustrated rated the highest in its review of baking stones.
A Williams Sonoma apron and oven mitt. I just adore aprons and can't get enough of them. And I've been in dire need of a better oven mitt too!
A beautiful cake pedestal. I've been in need of more pedestals and I love the scalloped edging on this one.
Williams Sonoma Gift Cards
Because, really, you can never spend enough money in that store! Some things on my W-S wish list:
Kitchen Aid Pasta Press Attachment
What did Santa bring you? What was your favorite gift?

Hi Liz,
So far, I have my Pryke line from Robert Pryke b.1683 Groton - Sarah Pryke b. 1773 Kersey. I haven't managed to find any more descendants as yet. If an Albert Pryke turns up, I'll make sure to let you know.

Leader of Western governors: Change endangered species plan
Got to give Mead credit, though, for making this the issue for his one-year term.
1 comment:
Several years ago Congressman Pombo proposed some sensible ESA reform when he Chaired the House Natural Resources Committee. Those improvements of the ESA did not get done and Congressman Pombo is no longer in office.
Governor Mead could save a lot of time and possibly get the job done if he started at the point that Congressman Pombo left off. Perhaps Congressman Pombo would even participate in this effort.

The Search Is On To Find Dorset's Best Villages
4:21pm 31st January 2013
Do you think you're living in Dorset's best village?
Well the competition for 2013 run by Dorset Community Action has just been launched.
It's now in its 27th year.
Entry packs are being sent to villages inviting them to enter either through the parish council, or village hall committee.
Magna Housing is back on board again this year as the main sponsor.
DCA's Competition Organiser Rita Burden says: This year we would like to encourage even more communities to take part in this popular competition. There are many who have never entered and all have the potential to win. Any organisation can enter it's community - the village hall committee, school, youth club, scout or guide group. Even Dorset's small hamlets can enter. "
Daniel Rowlandson Magna Housing Communication Manager said " We are delighted to be sponsoring the best village awards again this year. The awards promote community spirit and gives recognition to the hard work that goes into creating a pleasant environment for people to live in.'
Two special entry categories will also continue for a fourth year. 'The People's Project' - the village judged to have entered the best project involving local active people and 'Best Environment' - the village judged to be doing the most 'Green' initiatives.
" It is not just about how the village looks. It is also about how active the village is. How it builds up a sense of community spirit and addresses the needs of its residents, especially the more vulnerable ones." Rita Burden added.
The deadline for entries is 5.00pm on Monday 8th April 2013. Judging will commence in May. DCA is encouraging groups to save paper and postage by entering the competition online if possible. Entry packs can be downloaded from www.dorsetcommunityaction.org.uk or by telephoning DCA on 01305-216407 to be sent a paper copy.

Scandal's season three episodes reduced to accommodate Kerry Washington's pregnancy – report
Producers behind hit TV series Scandal have decided to reduce the number of episodes for the third season to accommodate lead actress Kerry Washington's pregnancy, according to a U.S. report. The Django Unchained star is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Nnamdi Asomugha, and the show's costume designers are finding it harder to hide her pregnancy, according to Deadline.com.
As a result, TV executives will cut the season from 22 episodes to 18.
The popular series, starring Washington as a top political fixer, will return from its winter hiatus in February (14).

|Hi there! I'm The Announcer for a fun new family game! It's called Super Smash Bros! (That sounds nice. How do we play?) Well, first I'm going to warp you into a world of hate and war where you'll assault everyone you have ever known and loved before. (I don't thin I wanna do that.) Oh, come on, it'll be a bash; now grab all your little friends, because it's time for us to motherfucking SMASH!
|~ The Announcer to Luigi.
The Announcer is the main antagonist of the music video, "SMASH!". He tries to convince all the Nintendo characters to fight.
The Announcer is shown to be sadistic, heartless, ignominious, and contemptible, making the Nintendo characters fight. He is also very eloquent, persuasive, sympathetic, and impactful, being able to convince most of the Smashers to fight, even eventually convincing the pacifistic Luigi to join in (which he would regret).
The Announcer is a Caucasian human with brown hair. His hair is in a mullet with the front part being a zigzag shape. He wears dark sunglasses that cover his most of the time, only taking them off when Luigi becomes evil. He wears a purple jacket, pants, and shoes. He also has a large butterfly-shaped bowtie. He is also seen to constantly hold his microphone.
Powers and Abilities
While he as no shown magical abilities or super powers, he is extremely charismatic and persuasive. He is also a very good singer.
- He was voiced by the Internet celebrity actor, Mark Fishbach, better known as Markiplier.

12 week update on me!
How far along? 12 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss:I thought I had gained a million pounds so far. I haven't really been good about my eating habits, and I have been soooooo huuuunnngggrrrryyy. I am trying to be really good on my protein and water intake. So, anyway, I thought I had gained at least 10 pounds by this point, but the other day I took a body test on my Wii Fit, and while I looked at the TV in between my fingers covering my eyes, it only looks like I've gained about 4 or 5 pounds. YAY!!! And, Jake and I went to a cookout the other night and two of the girls said my face and arms looked much slimmer. How about them apples?? So, see Jake?? Not to shabby!!Mmmmm, apples, maybe with some peanut butter....
Maternity clothes? I am THIS CLOSE to needing them. Basically my shorts are zipped down all the way with my Bella Band. It's either that or dresses. Good thing I am going to NYC next week, so I can stock up on maternity clothes at H&M. I also put some local upscale consignment sales on my calender for August and September. I hope to get some then too.
Sleep: Uggggg, not going too well.
Best moment this week: Realizing I haven't gained a million pounds - YAY! And we have an ultrasound on Thursday.
Movement: None yet!
Food cravings: I swear, I just don't know. I crave mostly everything, but nothing specific or weird.
Gender: Again, hoping they are XX and XY!
Labor Signs: Ha...funny
Belly Button in or out? still in! I vow to be a glamorous bikini-clad hot mama when I step out in the pool in Las Vegas in August. (it CAN happen, right???)
What I miss: Right now my clothes, but this is all so freaking exciting! I could care less.
What I am looking forward to: going to NYC next week.
Milestones: Almost out of the first trimester! One week to go!
Realization of the week: How much fun this is going to be. I tell Jake all the time. We are in for an adventure, and I am so excited to do this with him. He will be a wonderful father, and I can't wait for all the fun we'll have with our new family. We are truly blessed.
12 weeks!
I seem to have "popped" in the last week (will post a belly soon, I promise). I think that may have something to do with it. I am constantly aware of my stomach while trying to sleep. I am so terrified I am going to do something to hurt them. Plus, reading about it certainly doesn't seem to help. Basically you can't do the following while pregnant:
So that basically leave sleeping on my left side - doesn't give a while lot of options, huh? I read online that a full body pillow helps, so that you can put your head on the top, your stomach along the center, and put the bottom between your legs to help with leg and hip pain. Well, there is only so long you can lie like that before you are desperate to roll over. Especially when you are getting up in the middle of the night anyway to pee, and have to fall back asleep, which is so hard to do now that you have started cramping. *sigh*
At least school hasn't started yet. I am welcome to take naps as much as I want. I haven't today, and since it's 4:30, its likely I won't get to. But thats ok, because we are eating pizza tonight, and I would much rather trade pizza for sleep - who wouldn't?

11 weeks - how are the babies?
Showing/Not Showing
11.5 weeks!
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
10 weeks and 1 day!!
How far along? 10 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss:I have no idea. When do they start keeping track of this? I guess with everything else going on, noone has really started monitoring this. But I am guessing 4 or 5 pounds maybe, based on what I weighed at the doctor's office, but I haven't weighed myself in a long time either, so I don't know what I started with. Oh well..
Maternity clothes? None yet. I did break and buy a bella band at Target. It is one of those bands that you wear over your regular bottoms and you can keep them unbuttoned. Kind of cool.
Sleep: I'm also not sure if I'm doing this right. B/c my ovaries were so swollen, I have been trying not to turn to my side, only lying on my back. After doing some reading, that is bad, so now I am trying to sleep more on my left side (which is supposed to be better than your right side - go figure)
Best moment this week: Nothing so far...
Movement: None yet!
Food cravings: It is everywhere. Sweet one day, then salty the next, which makes me excited and hoping there are multiple sexes in there. They say that salty means boy and sweet means girl. But if that has anything to do with the fact that I want pizza and cocoa puffs, I'm not sure...
Gender: Again, hoping they are XX and XY!
Labor Signs: LOL - good grief I hope not.
Belly Button in or out? Please God let it stay in the entire time. Since I have had two laproscopies, I am worried about this. They have gone "in" both times this way. I just hope everything stays normal. (although Katie Holmes had an outtie during pregnancy, so maybe I could be like her)
What I miss: Nothing so far. Each day in this pregnancy is a blessing.
Milestones: Almost out of the first trimester!
Realization of the week: I need to start regularly exercising again. I started back this week. I have been on couch rest since the surgery and ovary issues, but due to my Kirstie Alley appetite, I need to start moving soon.
10 weeks
Though he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby has now completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature.

The alternative to stepping is sprinkling your code with debug prints.Don't go overboard, though, or you'll run out of RAM. (there are ways around this, though, involving PROGMEM)
void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); // ...}void loop(){ // some code step(1); // some code step(2); // some code step(3);// etc}void step(int place){ // dump vars here Serial.print ("debug: "); Serial.println (place, DEC); // dump relevant vars while (Serial.Available() == 0); Serial.Read();}
Besides debug statements you might use a step() function to hold the program, furthermore consider to dump the vars under scrutiny in the step() function . (works for global vars only I know)
Also... MCP23018 is awesome. Highly recommend it.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) March 05, 2011 -- With the kind of economy that we have, investing through BMV property is still relatively very safe. As a matter of fact, a lot of experts still prefer this option as this is still one of the safest ways so that you can put your money into good investment. But you should also know that there are still a lot of risks that are involved in this kind of venture. There are still several factors that you will have to consider so that you can make sure that this kind of venture will really work for your advantage. Anyway, there are just a few strategies or techniques that you need to learn about so that you will really succeed in this kind of venture.
First of all, it is very essential that you have a goal as to how you intend to profit by investing through a BMV property. As you already know, this is not a kind of business that can make you a millionaire in an instant. As a matter of fact, this can also be a very passive income especially if you intend to have it rented. If you want, you can also have these kinds of estates sold more than its original value. Anyway, no matter what your goal could be, it is very essential that you will carefully plan this out. It will never do you any good if you will just jump into this kind of venture and wait if you will really benefit from it.
One of the things that you shook do is to be realistic with your goals. Although it is true that a BMV property is rather cheap, there is still a very high probability that you will pay more than what you have initially planned. This is why it is really necessary for you to consider all the factors that may influence the price. You do not need to overstretch yourself as the financial aspect of this kind of venture is pretty much solid so there is really no need for you to be worried.
There is also a need for you to consider its location. Of course, you do not wan to invest on any house or apartment that is very far from the major establishments such as churches, shopping malls, market, modes of transportation, the police, and whole lot more. When investing on a BMV property, you have to make sure that people will definitely want to live on it. If you think that this is very inaccessible to the major establishments and facilities, there is a lesser chance that you will really benefit from it.
Aside from assessing the estate itself, you also need to make sure that you are aware of all the legal implications of this kind of investment. You have to make sure that the seller is not selling the estate because he is already bankrupt. He could just be preventing the possibility of the estate being repossessed and this is the last thing that you want. Trustees may go after the estate even if you have legally purchased it.
In general, you just need to make sure that you have a full understanding as to how these kinds of transactions work. You have to consider all the legal and financial implications of this kind of venture. If you will be asked to consider all of these things, you can expect that you can really benefit from investing in a BMV property.

Zephyr, the High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite
Zephyr is a High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS) that fills a capability gap between satellites and UAVs:
- runs exclusively on solar power
- flies above the weather and above commercial air traffic.
Replacing one conventional UAV with just one Zephyr would save 2,000 tons of fuel each year.
Uniquely designed for both military and commercial purposes, Zephyr can deliver numerous payload capabilities across two platforms. Zephyr S with its ability to carry payloads, offering voice, data communications both line of sight and beyond the line of sight, and line of sight high resolution optical imagery. Zephyr T carrying larger payloads offers the ability to bring more active payloads to the fore; for example, widespread, persistent internet coverage to remote areas of the globe, and active RADAR. Together they enable real-time mapping, internet and a number of surveillance opportunities to meet a broad range of requirements.
The Zephyr family
Zephyr S
Zephyr T
Airbus has two variants of the Zephyr designed to accommodate a variety of payload capacities.
Zephyr S is the name of the production variant of the Zephyr 8 vehicle.
The larger size of the Zephyr T (Twin) vehicle enables it to accommodate payloads with larger masses and continuous power in excess of 300W to accommodate for example RADAR, LIDAR,ESM/ELINT and Broadband CommsA key feature of the Zephyr family is that they share common avionics, software, power flosystems, propulsion design and command and control and aero-structural design and elements. This means that production of the larger vehicle follows closely on the success of the Zephyr S.

Use Zephyr S for:
- Maritime & Border surveillance
- Environmental surveillance
- In-theatre C4ISTAR relay
- Missile detection
- Navigation
- Ad-hoc communication bandwith
- Continuous imagery
- Many further …

Hey melinda this is matt. And I was sitting right there. And jessica knew exacrly what was in those envelopes and she knew the details. And once more you had Jessica and grandma negotiating for you. And I got news for you. You will never know me as your son until you get back with robert as your husband and terry is ni longer in the picture. Idk if you rlly believe him or you rlly r that stupid but he threatened my life on more than one occasion and none of roberts children should be around him. And I find it weird how you keep saying you want a divorce from robert but you do everything in your power to slow it down. You are mentally not right melinda there really is seriously something wrong with you melinda. And I also find it interesting that you like to share everything about this divorce with everyone except the truth. I have yet to hear the truth come out of you. And I have news for you I was on the other side of the door thr one day erics friend came by and I heard him tell dad you dealing drugs. I hope its true. I think you belong behind bars for at least20 years. You don't know the kinda man you wanna divorce. Now that he doesn't have you screwin up his head he is a gr8 dad and nothing like you say he is. But I have to say you did screw him up to the point to where he is no longer a push over at first he was soft but now he doesn't put up with crap. if anything u made him partly into the man your telling everybody he is. Dad used to be a real softy. I've met terry and that Is one serious control freak but then so are you. I've seen who yu are and I ha e to say you are a terrible person after what dad has done for you and the way you've repaid him I mean honestly I know my dads not perfect and u guys had problems but I know he was trying to save the marriage and from the things I've seen and read yo didn't care about us kids or dad all u cared about was satisfying yourself. And you didn't try and giv any effort to try and save ur marriage. Ill say this melinda you still have a chance to fix it. But you will have to tell everybody what you've done to me. And I was at court the day you lied to the judge and said the reason y we don't c each other is becuz of me being violent to yu. What a great mom you r. You have to be sitting their wondering what its gunna take to fix this. My suggestion to you is to pray to the lord to help you fix the marriage and ask the lord to change you. Cuz u r definitely the problem. There!!I think I did a good job of getting my point across without swaring but ill bet u won't send this mssg down the line at least until you edit it. Just so you knw some of the ladies at church find yu obnoxious and think that wat ur doing is disgusting and they pray for you to wake up u r a laughing stock there what they mite be saying to u face to face is not what their kids are telling me. Ill leave it up to you melinda if you ever want to call me son again you knw what you need to do.

Matt emailing me. I am still amazed that Matt is allowed access to Rob's phone. Jess again had no idea but what I told her that was in the envelope. I did not have anyone negotiating for me.
Oh and it does make me giggle that Rob isn't a push over anymore. I don't believe he was ever a push over for anyone.Also that he is a real softie?! Rob threatened the life of everyone in his life at one point and time. Whether it was to beat the crap out of them or to burn down their home or to get them fired or to kill them.
Not even thinking about going back to that man.
Matt was not in the court room. I have emails and can go by the fire and knives he brought into the apartment to kill me if I did not take him to his Dad's house in 2009. Also the emails stated that he wanted to slit my throat. Excuse me if I am concerned with acts of violence.
