When pedalling long distances, there are so many expectations for the rider. To be self-sufficient, to ride strong, and composed…but many take for granted the role of important people who make our trip successful and perhaps less miserable-The good Samaritan…
I've heard of countless stories of how good Samaritans-total strangers-have offered whatever it is needed by the biker. Whether it be food and drink, shelter, mechanical assistance or even company, these Good Samaritans are a beacon of hope for riders heading towards great distances isolated from family and friends for many days.
My first encounter with a good Samaritan was in June 2015 when I and several members of the Centurion Cycling Club did a long distance cycling trip to Baguio (estimated distance is 270km from Manila)…after pedalling the whole night and early day, we made our climb in the afternoon. And as I recall hard rain hit us at Kennon Road…witnessing rainwater bringing in soil and rock and vehicles rushing through the road…two of our companions who were ahead of us shouted …they took refuge in a small store…The old lady in the counter allowed us to stay in her small space and even offered food and other stuff to buy and allowed us to stay for the night…What I recall is that she warned us not to ride it out as land/rockslides might put everyone in danger…Most of us didn't make it up that last climb to Baguio (and we have unfinished business with this route)…but we will never forget the kindness of that good Samaritan…
As time passed by, doing several multiday tours, good Samaritans have always been a part of the success of our trips…offering their space to rest during intense heat or rain, offering cold drinks or coffee,a hot meal, or even a place to stay for the night.
This holiday season, we are reminded of the good Samaritan for two things. Unlike the regular tourist, these good Samaritans are never part of the tourist spectacle. That is, they are never obligated to help or assist or even entertain the tourist-they are regular people who are part of the place we visit. And for that, the cyclist will always be fortunate-to have a much more enriched experience with these people. Often times, these good Samaritans give beyond what they possess-time, resources, effort.
More importantly, as cyclists who travel great distances, we live from what we get (and our success can be greatly attributed to their help), but these good Samaritans live a life from what they give.
Happy holidays!

Removing the Past
for a Better Tomorrow.
A person arrested in Okeechobee County, Florida, must petition the court within the county for a criminal arrest record expungement or sealing. We have represented people seeking record expungements and sealing in Taylor Creek, Whispering Pines and all of Okeechobee County since 2002.
⚖ Okeechobee Record Expungement Attorney
When we represent you for your record expungement or sealing, we do the following:
- Prepare all documentation
- Obtain all necessary records to expunge record
- Submit necessary application and documents
- Answer all questions from FDLE (if any)
- Prepare the petition, affidavits, and orders to expunge record
- Serve all necessary parties
- File the petition and necessary documentation to expunge record
- Answer all objections from SAO (if any)
- Represent you in court
All you have to do is:
- Notarize three documents, and
- obtain your fingerprints.
Benefits of Expunged Record or Sealing in Okeechobee County are Numerous
A criminal arrest record expungement or sealing destroys/removes official government records referring to your arrest from the public record. The public will no longer have access to your arrest information from online government sources, such as the Clerk of Court or Law Enforcement Agencies.
Additionally, private companies that sell public information will purge this information from their databases once they realize it is no longer a public record. This can be facilitated through notification or simply the passing of time.
You will have the legal ability to deny the arrest occurred. There are a few exceptions to this but this ability is one of the most powerful. Backing this up with a certified letter from the Clerk of Court indicating that no record exists is all that you should need.

Burberry fashion had launched from many years ago, and the use of the gabardine fabric succeeded in their designs. Burberry was very famous in designing the military jackets to the army officers to become part of the popular events such as the First World War. The military officers used Burberry jackets that carried numerous and distinctive buttons among the First World War, as well Burberry jackets worn by the explorers during their travels when they were discovering the summit of Everest and the North Pole.
The military trench jackets with various lengths and designs are the most popular among girls and women, who love to wear the Burberry original pieces. Burberry trench jackets are characterized by numerous buttons, large pockets and wide collars.
This winter season the wool and fur fabrics appeared in Burberry's fashion shows and they showed in diverse designs in dark colors to bear up the cold of the winter season.
Many years was separating the Western ideas which precede their age, and the success which confirms the versatility of the idea over the years, to dig famous marks in the fashion world over the years. Burberry managed to invade the fashion capitals with efficiency and excellence for more than 150 years without a competitor in their specialty.
In this collection I present a whole look for winter season by adding the elegant Burberry trench coats with a matching handbag and of course putting some accessories to complete the look
Enjoy the collection.

The movie explores the last years of Dr. King's life. It traces his efforts to recast himself by embracing causes beyond the civil rights movement by becoming a champion of the poor and an outspoken opponent of the war in Vietnam. Tapping into a rich archive of photographs and film footage and using diaries, letters and eyewitness accounts of fellow activists, friends, journalists, political leaders, and law enforcement officials, this film brings fresh insights of King's impossible journey, his charismatic leadership, and his truly remarkable impact.

Happy Friday 13th! Madame G wishes you well. If you find you don't want to do something consider your deeper motivations. You might be avoiding a deep truth that needs to be faced. It's perfectly fine to run away to fight another day. But, sometimes you need to stare the hydra down and fight. You know if this is the time to fight or hide.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Your life's trajectory is not set in stone. You can make moves to better your life. You may not be a rock star or some other type of star, but that doesn't mean you can't have a good life. You're not a bad person. You're a good person who occasionally makes mistakes and those mistakes might be really really BIG. But, you can still live a meaningful life and experience peace. Try it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your heart is in the right place, but the result was off. You're not perfect and that's okay, too. People don't need a perfect automaton that repeats meaningless drivel. They need someone they can trust and care about. It's crazy that sometimes the people who seem unkind can have such strong networks. Could the key be honesty? Try it yourself, but use tact.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You might feel like everyone wants a piece of you, even if nobody ever seems satisfied with what you offer. Navigating between the demands of home, significant others and career is a major mission for you this month as the planets tug at you. Give yourself a break and head out the door with style and confidence. You're rocking it!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Give yourself a break, you didn't know. If I had a dollar for every time I didn't know something - I'd be a one percenter. And I am, in my own way. Why? Because I have learned from my experiences. You, too, can learn from your mistakes, dear Cancer. Don't let this break you down or hide your inexorable light. This too shall pass and quickly fade from memory.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Proud and noble Leo, your heart is a lonely hunter, but you have a knack for seeking out company. You know when it's time to let that light shine and grow. Don't be afraid of yourself. And don't be afraid to take time out and enjoy your alone time. It's the best time to think and reflect on how you can make yourself into a better person and help those around you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have multiple adventures. Keep an open heart and open mind with a keen eye on the road ahead. Look toward your future with vision, grace, and poise. Don't get lost in the realms of unforgotten dreams or unrealized hope. Don't drown in the world of "whatever" only to wake up and regret your choices. Look within and know yourself. You're capable of more. Do it!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
Love yourself and those around you. You have the power to make or break someone's day. You don't have to let them linger in a puddle of self-doubt, keep the door open, and the heart right where it belongs. You are more than capable of letting the world take over. Give it your best shot. You've totally got this!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Dear Scorpio, nice job! There was a tumble, but you popped up right where you belong. You've got to put a little elbow grease in and do your part, but you've got this. Just keep on pushing forward with clear and insightful deliberation. You're making great strides. Remember, be an infinite player in this crazy game we call life. You can do it!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Be loud and proud of who you are, so that your children will grow up with confidence. You don't need to put others down to feel better. Learn to put yourself first, without cutting out the essentials. You need your family and good people in your life. Put in what you can and take time out for yourself. That's not selfishness, it's wisdom.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Dear Capricorn, put your best foot forward and take care of yourself. This world can be treacherous. That's why you need to reach out to your friends. Your loved ones are living the best lives they can, and they need you to live the best you can, too. Don't be afraid. You're capable and you can do this. You are a good friend to others. Be a good friend to yourself.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Don't melt the chocolate unless you want to make a mess. Instead consider taking small deliberate steps that help you accomplish your goals. Look toward your future and live the best life you can. Tackle your habits and keep on trekking. Eventually with enough time, effort and deliberation you will get there. Remember to enjoy the ride as you go along the way.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Live your best life, NOW! Don't wait to be happy tomorrow or next year, or when you get a new job, or new partner. Learn to love who you are right now. Be who you are right now. Be with who are you with, right now. Enjoy your life before it passes you by, and you look toward an unknown future. You can look back and know that you lived a good life. Good luck!

Krong was a male Klingon in the late 23rd century. Circa 2269, Krong dueled with his commanding officer, M'kar, in an effort to earn a promotion to first lieutenant. However, M'kar was distracted during this fight -- reportedly by a female, Shajara -- and was slain in a dishonorable fashion.
Dishonored, Krong contemplated ritual suicide, but his father forbade it until all other options of regaining his honor were exhausted. Krong ended up living as a exile on the planet Denebia, in the town of Meekrab, for several months, long after giving up hope of returning to the Klingon Empire.
After assisting Leonard McCoy and Montgomery Scott in a barroom brawl against local criminals, the USS Enterprise officers resolved to transport him to another neutral planet. (TOS short story: "Where Everybody Knows Your Name")

Introducing Project Hope Bear
Having worked with hundreds of children whose young lives have been touched by violence and/or lost a loved one – and drawing on the painful memories of her own experience with Childhood Domestic Violence as well as the loss of her two beloved sisters later in life – Dr. Linda Olson has begun laying the groundwork for a community dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these vulnerable boys and girls.
Through a crowdfunding campaign to be launched later this month, Dr. Olson's goal is to create a community that will come together to bring the "Project Hope Bear" to children throughout the US.
This community will collectively:
- Provide comfort to children who have lost a loved one to violence or witnessed violence
- Raise awareness about the widespread threat of Childhood Domestic Violence (CDV) to children in the US and throughout the world
Provide a free "Project Hope Bear" to all children who have lost a loved one to violence or have witnessed violence, to help with the grieving process and reduce loneliness and isolation.
Take action to let these children know that we, too, grieve the loss of their parent or loved one, letting these boys and girls know that they are not alone.
Help children and families communicate their feelings around trauma, grief and loss.
"I'm so excited about the 'Project Hope Bear' community," Dr. Olson says, "because I know, with absolute certainty, that this will make a difference in the lives of so many children!"
For Dr. Linda Olson, it has been a long – and often painful – journey, but her excitement and optimism as she prepares to launch the "Project Hope Bear" is inescapable. "For a little girl, who grew up never knowing what to do, or how to make a difference, finding that I can help others rise above the pain and suffering that they've experienced due to CDV is an amazing feeling! This has been transformative for me. I'm so excited! I now know the answers, and I know what's going to help people. I really feel like I'm being led to do this work! I'm healing myself and I'm healing others!"
In closing, she quotes the religious philosopher and writer Richard Rohr, who once said, "If we don't transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it onto others." Dr. Olson concludes, "I'm determined that I am not going to repeat it. I am going to do whatever it takes to break this cycle in my family – and in our culture."

text: APPLIED SCIENCES: SymposiumPhysical Activity in Young Children: The Role of Child CareWARD, DIANNE S.Author Information Department of Nutrition and Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC Address for correspondence: Dianne S. Ward, Ed.D., Department of Nutrition, University of North Carolina, 1700 Martin L. King Jr. Blvd., CB#7426, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7426; E-mail: email@example.com. Submitted for publication December 2008. Accepted for publication March 2009. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: March 2010 - Volume 42 - Issue 3 - p 499-501 doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e3181ce9f85 Free Metrics Abstract Young children's regular participation in physical activity is important not only to prevent excess weight gain and avoid chronic health problems but also to promote optimal physical, social, and psychological development. Given the large number of children enrolled in some form of out-of-home child care, this setting holds great potential to make important contributions to the welfare and health of young children, including the promotion of physical activity. The five articles included in this series were originally presented as a symposium at the 2008 American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting. Papers review the current evidence on levels of physical activity at child care, techniques for measuring physical activity in this setting, use of outdoor space for physical activity, the influence of child care environment and policies on children's activity, and child care-based physical activity intervention strategies. Experts agree that physical activity is critical to the health and well-being of children (19,23), more specifically, as a means to combat the recent and dramatic rise in obesity in the United States (9), other developed nations (24), and countries undergoing nutrition transition (12). This increase in obesity has been observed in children of all ages, including the very young (16). In the United States, nationwide prevalence data indicate that the number of children age 2-5 yr who are classified as obese (body mass index ≥ 95th percentile for age and gender) increased threefold during the past 20 yr (8). More than 25% of preschool-aged children in the United States are considered overweight or obese (9), and more than 8% of 2- to 5-yr-olds are significantly obese (body mass index ≥ 97th percentile) (10). Accumulation of excess body fat creates risk for several chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (5), and also results in unfortunate social and behavioral problems during these important early developmental years (14,18). Moreover, obesity seems to track from childhood to adulthood, creating even more serious health risks (3,6,15). On the basis of the seriousness of these issues, prevention-oriented strategies are needed. Early childhood physical activity is important not only to prevent excess weight gain and avoid chronic health problems but also for other aspects of a young child's physical, social, and psychological development (21). From the earliest age, physical activity experiences allow a young child to explore and interact with the surrounding environment and, through this interaction, learn to crawl, stand, and ultimately, walk. As children proceed from toddlers to preschoolers, physical activities continue to play an important role in the development of gross and fine motor skills as well as social skills, therefore care should be taken to ensure that children have generous amounts of active experiences (7). Nationally, 60% of mothers with preschool-aged children are in the workforce (2), which, in turn, necessitates their use of out-of-home child care. (For this series, we use the term "child care" to refer to any type of organized out-of-home care for children between the ages of 0 and 5 yr, including preschool, nursery school, day care, child care center, and family child care home.) Whether that child care is provided by a center, home, or other arrangement, out-of-home child care settings can make important contributions to the welfare and health of young children because of the many children who are enrolled and spend considerable time at such sites. Overall, 56% of 3- to 6-yr-olds are cared for in a center-based setting (2). Further, there is some indication that the amount of time children spend in care seems to be increasing (17). A 2005 report from the Department of Education noted that children aged 3-5 yr who attend center-based child care at least once per week spend an average of 22.5 h·wk−1 there (4). Moreover, recent evidence suggests that an inverse relationship may exist between time spent in child care and time spent in active play (20). Despite the recognized value of regular physical activity to the health and development of children, experts fear children may not be receiving adequate experiences. Previous evidence of a sharp decline in physical activity in school-aged children (13) was recently validated by objectively monitored physical activity data collected for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (22). Although preschool-aged children were not assessed for this component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, other studies suggest that physical activity levels are very low even among young children during their time at child care settings (1,11). Because of the many children they enroll, child care settings offer a unique opportunity to help younger children obtain the necessary amount of physical activity and to reinforce adoption of a physically active lifestyle that could mitigate the decline in activity often seen in child-to-adolescent transition. In 2002, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) published recommendations for physical activity for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers (7). For preschool children, NASPE recommends at least 60 min, and up to several hours per day, of unstructured play time. In addition, their guidelines address structured physical activity, sedentary time, movement skill, environment, and the role of adult supervision. For a more complete listing of the NASPE standards, see Table 1.TABLE 1: NASPE guidelines for physical activity for toddlers and preschool children.Although the NASPE standards do not specifically address child care settings, physical activity provided at child care can contribute to the accumulation of recommended levels of activity, provide important time out-of-doors, develop motor skills, and provide interaction with staff that can facilitate physical activity. Research studies that address these issues, however, are limited. At the 2008 American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting, a symposium titled, "Role of Child Care in the Young Child's Physical Activity," included five presentations describing several issues critical to the role child care plays in the development of physical activity in young children. In this special series, we present four review articles that address these physical activity-related topics that are relevant for the child care setting. Reilly updates the literature in this area by reviewing available studies of physical activity at preschool, nursery school, or other child care settings. Pate et al. share strategies for measuring physical activity in this age group and make recommendations for obtaining quality assessments. Integrating strategies from landscape architecture and planning, Cosco and associates describe methods for determining how outdoor spaces, or "behavior settings," afford physical activity to children in the outdoor settings provided at organized child care. The role of environment and policy in promotion of physical activity at child care is reviewed by Trost et al. Specifically, they explore the environmental and policy characteristics at child care that have been found to increase physical activity. Finally, Ward et al. critically review physical activity interventions implemented in child care and make recommendations regarding their potential to change young children's physical activity levels through programs, policies, or practices. Collectively, these five articles provide a compilation of the most up-to-date research findings available about key aspects of the physical activity development of young children at child care settings.

Every Singaporean has a CPF account. It's a compulsory retirement fund implemented by the government. But does everyone really understand its importance? How many Singaporeans have actually done their CPF nominations?
And how many had taken great care in choosing the people they put in their CPF nomination?
For newcomers in Singapore, there are a lot of questions about CPF accounts and nominations that need to be answered. Questions like, What is a CPF account? What is it for? Why are CPF savings compulsory? What are Central Provident Fund Nominations? How does one make a CPF nomination? Where do CPF monies go when an account holder dies?
And all these questions will be answered. This article will be a step by step guide to understanding CPF accounts. The purpose of CPF accounts. How to make a CPF nomination, and what happens to CPF monies upon the account owner's demise. And lastly how to integrate one's CPF account into estate planning.
Here are 7 Things About CPF Nominations and Accounts
What is a CPF account?
CPF stands for the Central Provident Fund. It is a mandatory retirement fund implemented by the government. Every month, 20% is deducted from the account holder's salary and is deposited into the CPF account. The CPF account is divided into three accounts:
- Ordinary Account
- Medisave Account
- Special Account
Ordinary Account – the money stored in the Ordinary account can be used to buy an HDB flat. Or it can be used finance one's education or children and spouse's education.
Medisave Account – this account is used for paying medical bills, hospitalisation expenses. And buy medical insurance for oneself or the whole family.
Special Account – this is the account dedicated for old age, and all CPF monies stored here will be used for retirement.
Who handles all CPF accounts?
All CPF accounts are handled by the Central Provident Fund board which is a statutory board under the Ministry of Manpower(MOM). The Ministry of Manpower is the one responsible for investing the members' contributions.
What is a CPF nomination?
A CPF nomination allows for CPF members to leave behind their CPF savings to their family members once they die. This CPF nomination scheme makes it possible to name any individual to inherit the CPF monies left behind in a CPF account. Nominations also allow the account holder to state how much money each beneficiary gets.
Who can be written in CPF nomination?
The account holder can name anyone as the beneficiary, similar to how a person makes a will. But, CPF nomination beneficiaries are usually family members.
Nominations must regularly be reviewed to update information when marriage, childbirth and even death happens in the family. This regular update will make sure that the CPF nomination follows the true intentions of the CPF member.
There are three types/kinds of CPF nomination
- Cash Nomination – where the nominee receives the CPF savings intended for them in cash form or via a check or even a GIRO.
- Enhanced Nomination Scheme (ENS) Nomination – the nominee receives the CPF savings due to them through a transfer of funds to their CPF accounts.
- Special Needs Savings Scheme (SNSS) Nomination – for parents who have special needs children, they can nominate their children using the SNSS. Their children receive the CPF savings intended for them every month.
How can one make a CPF nomination?
There are two ways to make a CPF nomination depending on what type of nomination you are making. The two ways discussed here applies to Cash Nomination only. The two ways are In-person or via Mail.
Book/schedule an appointment online through the CPF Appointment Service found on the CPF website. While making the appointment, the member can choose the preferred time and date. The CPF Nomination can be completed in front of a Customer Service Executive. The CSEs can also serve as witnesses for the CPF nomination.
Via Mail
Complete/fill the CPF nomination form which can be downloaded from the CPF website. The CPF nomination form must be completed in the presence of two witnesses who are both above the age of 21. For people living overseas, one of the witnesses should be a Singaporean, or he or she can either be the two:
- A permanent resident of Singapore
- An official serving a overseas mission for the country
It must be mailed to the Central Provident Fund Board located at Robinson Road. To get the full address with the CPF website.
The nomination form must include photocopies of the following:
- NRIC or Passport
- NRIC or Passport of both witnesses
- Nominee's NRIC or Passport.
What happens when no CPF nomination?
When no CPF nomination has been made the CPF savings and CPF monies claimable will be passed to the Public Trustee's office. The CPF savings will then be dealt with the Intestate Succession Act, with the PTO taking the lead to give the CPF monies to the family members left behind.
What if one's beneficiaries die first?
If the nominee dies first, then the CPF member must make a new nomination. Naming substitute beneficiaries is not allowed. And if there are no living nominees left the CPF board will be passed to the Public Trustee's Office.
Can pets be named as beneficiaries?
Pets cannot be named as beneficiaries in a CPF nomination. So, for members thinking of naming their pets as beneficiaries do note that such nominations are invalid.
Trusts can be named in Nomination
CPF savings are outside of probate so wills cannot dictate how they will be distributed. Due to its non-probate nature, it is a must to create a CPF nomination. The good thing is Trusts can be named as beneficiaries in a CPF nomination. By nominating a Trust, CPF members can incorporate their CPF savings into their estate plan. To learn more about this contact a Trust company that deals with estate planning.
A CPF nomination makes it easier and faster for CPF savings to be passed on to beneficiaries. And it gives the members a choice to pick who gets their CPF savings and how much they can give to each nominee. Making a CPF nomination is quick, and there are two ways to do it either go to In-person or via mail. Overall, a CPF nomination ensures that the CPF monies that CPF members worked hard for goes to the people they love and care for.

BBS: Index > Chaos Gate > Hotaru's gender and/or Tsukasa's/Subaru relationship
fan\\sign 19:04, February 27, 2011 (UTC) According to the page set up for that purpose, Hotaru's gender
(both in the "real" world and in "The World) is under dispute. The wiki has
a discussion page for this purpose, but from what I gather it has not been used
since August of last year (except for my recent posts). I would like to start up a
more current discussion on this subject.
Another point which relates to gender questionability in .hack that I would like to discuss is the nature of the Tsukasa & Subaru relationship - was the show intending it to be a homosexual or bisexual or something else. I have been taking this last choice ever since I watched the episode "Return", and would like to know whether the general public\evidence agrees with me

After A Long Silence
The past few months have been quite hectic.
This, added to my natural lazyness, meant I had no time to post here.
But things happened... oh boy, YES they happened!
First of all I'm giving you the actual play of a two session game, in a fantasy setting.
It has lots of game-relevant meat, and is very slim on the resulting fiction, so it's a quick and dirty reading.
Enjoy it HERE.
Then I'm announcing ANOTHER actual play that took place during the italian game convention GnoccoCON, happened the 1st and 2nd of September 2012.
It was a 6 player game where I took part only as external facilitator.
But I'm keeping it hostage for now, you'll have it only on the next blog update!
Finally I'm telling you that the game rules have received quite some love in the past months, and a host of little (and not so little) changes have been brought into effect.
As the text is currently being revised I'm not yet gonna give you a new rulebook version, but I'll tease you with a partial change log:
- made some typo corrections and text editing
- introducing the Dice-Card system, to use a deck of cards in place of the dice
- cleared A LOT the communication rules about Detailing and Fiction Manipulation- Simple CharGen rules are now an official option
- MODEs no longer have a Defensive Way of action
- MODEs are now 0 to 5 instead of 0 to 3
- 1 Effort point buys 1 Action die
- Inner Strength rules are now official
- adding a PC to a scene costs 5 Influence
- rising Complexity now earns +3 Influence instead of +1
- fixed stuff on all Hard Opposition effects
- Character Sheet and Game Summary Sheet are now merged into a single sheet, for ease of use and instant access to all important info

A Hour
Speech Rough Draft
For this speech, I will take the miniskirt approach. Long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep your attention. Men and women face both positives and negatives in the modern world. Obviously, you are either male or female and might look at this speech at a different view than others: but in the words of Patti Smith "As far as I'm concerned, being any gender is a drag." There are multiple stereotypes implanted upon men and women and those can be respectively be put as…myths. All of you have certainly heard the obvious ones. Women are meant to stay at home, Men are meant to work, Women are meant to clean and cook, Men are meant to take care of mechanical work, All girls think about are boys, And all boys think about are sssss…..ports. Yeah Yeah Yeah… we have all heard those and get offended easily but have you ever thought about life if it was the other way around? Gender roles in today's society are meant to be. Forbes.com calculated that in 2008, public college enrollment for women was 7.8 million while for men it was barely 6 million. Bravo ladies! This is a perfect example of when American writer Chaz Bono said "Gender is between your ears and not between your legs." However, another study also shows that on average, men have a maximum of 6 bathroom products while women average around 429 per household. Also we could argue for hours whether getting kicked in the groin is more painful than giving child birth. But let us all agree that getting put in the friendzone hurts twice as much as those combined. All of this aside, we were all female at one point. That's right: the Y chromosome that determines if you are a male or female doesn't kick in until 5-6 weeks of embryonic development! Interesting huh? We gentlemen tease the group that we once were. I also had the wonderful experience to travel to Saudi Arabia this summer. And as some of you may know, Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that doesn't allow women to drive. And you may also know that although their leaders might be filthy rich, the majority of people live in poverty. Maybe it is because the lack of equality in gender. Together, 2 people can always do more work than 1. In the words of George Carlin, "Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it." Men have some accomplishments women don't have. We conquered nations, discovered

I've been wanting to test and review a Tantus dildo. We carry some Tantus products in the stores I work in and they've always intrigued me. Recently Tantus was kind enough to send me a Tantus Curve Super Soft in Midnight Purple. First, I must gush over the color of this gorgeous dildo. To me it looks iridescent. Looking at the color and shape of it just turn my brain on. What can I say, I'm weird like that.
Before I get more into the review portion let's go over the specifications of the Tantus Curve Super Soft.
- 100% Ultra Premium Silicone
- Material : Super Soft
- Finish: Matte
- Diameter: 1.38 inches
- Length: 6 inches
- Harness Compatible
- Anal safe
The Tantus Curve Super Soft is available in two colors. One being this gorgeous eye popping Midnight Purple and the other is Black which appears to have the same shimmer to it as the Midnight Purple.
I was very impressed by the packaging for this toy. The dildo is nicely nestled inside a plastic tray with a cover over top of it. This assures the toy will not be damaged in transit. This type of toy is pretty self-explanatory as to how to use it, so there is not an instruction manual or guide.
One item to note is that this Tantus toy is super easy to clean even with the ridges in it. You can use toy cleaner or soap and water. It's also boilable, bleachable and top rack dishwasher safe. As are most silicone dildos, provided they don't have mechanical parts to them.
As this is a silicone dildo, you should use water-based lubricant, or a hybrid such as the Jo Water/Coconut Oil Hybrid. This lube feels super silky not sticky like plain water-based lubricants. When choosing water-based lube, be sure to choose one that is paraben- and glycerin-free.
As of this writing, handsome hubby and I have not yet tried this toy in our strap-on harness. You can be sure it's on the list though. I will update this blog post after we've tested it that way.
So, just how did my solo testing go? It's safe to say that I really enjoyed it. I think I've mentioned before that I have very narrow pelvic bones, so I do sometimes have difficulty with dildos and other insertable toys. Playing with the Tantus Curve Super Soft I had no difficulty at all. After playing with some other toys like my Zumio and my Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation to create some natural lubricant in my vagina, this dildo eased right on in. Of course I did also use the Jo Hybrid that I mentioned earlier.
As you would imagine based on its name , this toy is very soft. By that I mean it has lots of give to it. It's not squishy though. Personally I feel like the softer dildos are better, but I'm aware that others prefer a firmer toy. The only way to find out what you prefer is to experiment with different dildos.
I was very curious as to how the ridges on the toy would feel. Since this is a super soft dildo, the ridges are very giving. You can feel them, at least I did, but they don't stand out at all. The outside of this toy is super smooth as well. By that I mean no rough edges.
There's a very nice curve to the toy, which is perfect for G or P spot stimulation. Holding the toy while thrusting it in and out is fairly easy. It has a nice-sized base to grab and hold onto. The length is perfect, at least for me. It doesn't bang on my cervix and cause pain as some toys can.
The trickier part for me is doing that while also using a vibe on my clitoris. No vibe on the clit means no orgasm for me. The Tantus Curve Super Soft does not have a suction cup, so if you like to ride your dildo, this dildo may not be the toy for you. I'm more of a layback-and-thrust-it kind of girl than a rider, so this toy works well for me. I like the entire package. The way it feels both internally and externally. It's neither too big nor too small. Apparently I'm like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This Tantus dildo is just right for me!
I really can't wait to try it with handsome hubby to see what he thinks of it. It will certainly be fun for both of us to try!
You can buy this toy directly from Tantus Inc. As of this writing the price is $59.00 USD. Order yours here.
Thank you to Tantus for sending me this Curve Super Soft in exchange for my always honest review. If I don't like a toy you will know about it. I do not promise a positive review to those who send me toys to review. I owe them, and you my readers, an honest review.
I highly recommend this dildo! For the price you get a quality product that is made with body-safe silicone.
Please order your toy through my Tantus Affiliate link. It helps cover the cost of the work I do. Thank you in advance!

A recent requirement to report the underlying buys of real estate in New York and Miami may deflect some criticism of the U.S. as a tax haven. Taxation attorney Kevin Packman says the temporary reporting requirement is not foolproof because it focuses only on cash transactions.
"If the purchaser has a mortgage, then the rules do not apply," he said. "I suspect the belief is that, if there is a mortgage in place, the lender's due diligence [requirement] kicks in and they can determine if the funds are from legitimate means. Notwithstanding,... if this works, I do believe we can expect FinCEN to kick in greater rules in other areas."

It was announced yesterday that Boxee closed a $16.5 million financing deal, featuring new investors Pitango and Softbank, as well as prior investors General Catalyst, Spark Capital, and Union Square Ventures.
Boxee's previous round of financing was just $6 million, at which point the company was 12 people, its software was in alpha mode (not even tested yet!) and the Boxee Box was just a dream for the workers. 18 months later, Boxee boasts 34 employees, version 1.0 of the software, and Boxee Box has been shipped to more than 30 countries.
So what will the new funding help?
First, the product. The financing will help the company develop not only their development team (i.e. more people working on the product), but will also allow Boxee to improve and create functionality while fixing bugs. They will also add more movies, TV shows, and video, while making it easier to find and watch them.
Next, more content. While Boxee has recently added Netflix and Vudu to the Boxee Box, there are many more sources of content that are on their "to do list" both in the US and internationally.
Finally, more partners. D-Link is already shipping the Boxee Box, Iomega is working on a Boxee NAS device, and ViewSonic is working on a TV based on Boxee. Boxee plans on signing up more device and distribution partners which will give users more options and ways to receive Boxee

French and US production but shot entirely in California—This is a true story of a young attorney (played by Christian Slater) who takes the defense of an Alcatraz convict who murders another convict, during a state of emotional trauma, just getting out of 3 years of solitary confinement in the worst of conditions. The young attorney proves that the staff of Alcatraz are abusive. Kevin Bacon (the convict) should have gotten an Academy Award for his role as a poor young man who goes into Alcatraz prison, as a mid-twenties prisoner, who was railroaded and tortured by prison guards, with the knowledge of the warden. But low and behold, Tom Hanks got the Academy Award that year for Forrest Gump. Gary Oldman plays the psychopathic, self-righteous Associate Warden.~Gabriel of Urantia

At the PMRA Hustings on April 18th there was a great deal of concern about traffic management - where will the traffic generated by the development process and the new homes and businesses actually go? There was also anger about our scraggy street environment where progress is painfully slow. The Community Streets project is still not completed. The sunken trench in the pavement at the southern end of Hornsey Park Road and the dilapidated northbound kerb opposite have received no attention.
On a brighter note our own work has been looking good. Despite the urban stress all our planted areas are looking nice - even lush. The new lavender plants are bulking up while the replanting of the little garden beside Umoja House has been a big success. For the first time we've had an English bluebell flowering under the lime trees. Sadly, we've lost the holm oak we tried to move from the lavender garden in the autumn. But the planters and trees installed on the Hornsey Park Road build-out look good - thanks here to borough engineer Gary Smith, council tree-man Alex Fraser and to the Council's nursery at Finsbury Park for the plants we put in on 5th of May. Biodiversity was the theme of a recent meeting with the borough's newly appointed Conservation Officer, Ed Santry, organised by the Friends of Parks Forum: PMRA hope to meet him soon and engage him around our vision of Wood Green as a living environment.Under our noses wildlife is already rich and diverse: chaser dragonflies already out and about, long-tailed tit chicks and blackcaps at the back of Hornsey Park Road, what looks like a white-winged damselfly in the lavender garden, the scented flowers of the false acacia tress in Caxton Road.
There's a lot of work ahead. We're still guardedly optimistic about our relationship with St William over the former gasworks site. Ashley Spearing, with whom we made good progress discussing the Heartlands/Hornsey Park Road borderline a couple of years ago, has moved on. Farewell and warm regards to him. The new senior development manager Matthew Rees has suggested we become involved with the conservation efforts around the earth bund behind the Iceland car-park. What will count in these negotiations is whether we can develop the clout to be a 'stakeholder'. We have ideas but we don't have money. We have credibility but we need a larger, stronger team. Why not get involved and help put your mark on our changing neighbourhood?Now the local election is settled it's a good time to review where we are up to in the neighbourhood. In July council officers will report to the new Cabinet on the outcome of the latest consultation on the Wood Green Area Action Plan. There have been some recent successes in challenging the AAP: plans to demolish houses in Caxton, Mayes and Coburg road have been abandoned; St William have been required to cost the future deculverting of the Moselle Brook; Page High Tenants Association and SkyCity Action Group have won political support to resist the demolition of their estates; Capital and Regional have ideas of their own about the future of the Mall. On other issues - like the dreadful Austringer Capital development approved on the Iceland site - resident opposition has been less effective. We're at a point when resident groups and voluntary organisations affected by the Action Plan should get together to thrash out a common agenda. Haringey Council has offered to host such a meeting.
Sometime in the next week or so the work on Mayes Road will near completion. It will be a new benchmark for the look and feel of our neighbourhood and enhance its biodiversity. (photo: Luke 'Duke' Newcombe)
The loss of trees is becoming an issue locally. The wonderful false acacia at the junction of Mayes Road and Coburg Road was removed because it 'had a fungus' - just in time for the planning application to build on the petrol station site beside it.

Making your first holiday as husband and wife a memorable and romantic is most important when it comes to selecting your honeymoon location. Choose a destination that will give you some truly memorable experiences that you will cherish and make the perfect beginning to your lives as a newly wedded couple.
Here are the top 5 destinations for couples in Cyprus…
1. Phuket, Thailand
One of the most popular tropical countries to go visit and even more perfect if you are planning on going in winter months. Take a stroll along Karon Beach, the longest beach in Phuket, followed by a Singa Beer served to your sun lounger. You can also arrange a day boat trip to explore Phi Phi Island, one of the top tourist attractions in Phuket, allowing you to immerse in the wonders of this scenic island. Experience Phuket's bustling nightlife in the well-known Bangla Road, as well as take a trip on a Tuc-Tuc (taxi). For the spiritual, visit the newly renovated 'Big Buddha', situated on the Nakkerd Hill between Chalong and Kata, observing the cultural background of Budhism. Enjoy being pampered and indulge in your own private massage beside the beach, a true Traditional Thai massage will certainly make you feel more relaxed.
2. Paris
Called the 'city of love' for a reason, as one of the most romantic places in the world, which makes it one of the best destinations for a honeymoon. Book a tour of the Eiffel tower, enjoy the romantic view of Paris followed by a candlelit dinner in Le Jules Verne Restaurant located on the 2nd Floor, with its spectacular views and the wistful atmosphere, experiencing contemporary French cuisine at its best. Paris is filled with historic monuments, so why not begin your honeymoon by taking a historical walk and see the famous Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum. Whether it's day or night enjoy a cruise on the River Seine in an all glass boat, with your loved one sipping a glass of the best French Champagne. Paris is well known for their corner Cafes, be sure to take a moment, sit back and enjoy a 'café au lait' admiring the dreamy surroundings around.
3. Mauritius
Referred as the paradise island, with its white sand and tropical blue beaches. Dine at Le Château de Bel Ombre, located on the South of the island, spoil yourself with its elegant setting and authentic dishes. You cannot miss a day out to Ile aux Cerfs, an island on the East coast, known as Deer Island. One of the islands best restaurants Chez Tino, has the best views, dishing superb meals of the Mauritian Cuisine with emphasis on Seafood, especially Lobster and sample the Octopus Curry with Green Pawpaw & Grilled Fish with Lemon. Maheswarnath, the biggest Hindu Temple built in 1819 can be found in the longest and largest village on the island, Triolet Shivala, combined with the Solitude Lake this is a must see sacred destination.
4. Dubai
Unwind, Indulge and of course splurge. Home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches with acres of green field, Al Mamzer Beach is an essential visit. Experience the beauty within the dessert that is Dubai whilst staying in the Bedouin Camp and indulge in the Arabian atmosphere.

Known as the best place to buy fresh produce, browse the boutiques and purchase souvenirs.

As you're all no doubt aware by now, Toby Jones is one of this country's finest and most adaptable actors, but he's at his best – I think – when he playing men who are conflicted somehow, perhaps slightly timid and unable to express emotions. There's something about Jones's furrowed browd and hangdog look. He appear alongside Andrea Riseborough and Kim Cattrall in Sarah Phelps' The Witness For The Prosecution, and he's wonderful. I managed to get hold of an interview with Toby, which is after the jump.
The Killing Times: Can you tell us about your character?
Toby Jones: My character is a solicitor who has fallen on hard times and relies on his back-handers to the police to give him access to petty criminals. In this instance he is employed by someone who is accused of murder, which is a big case for him and a way of earning a lot of money.
TKT: In creating the character, what initial discussions did you have on how to play John Mayhew?
TB: The Witness for the Prosecution is set in 1923, and although the period is pretty self explanatory, I think the way that Sarah Phelps has written it, Julian Jarrold has directed it and I have discussed it with the other cast members, is that it is a world very much in recovery from the First World War. Everyone is in shock and picking up the pieces. Not just externally in society but internally and personally; physiologically everyone is reconstructing themselves and trying to establish what was broken. It's those spirits that haunt the events of this film. It's the ghost of war and all the effects of it.
TKT: Does the Great War have a big impact on this story?
TB: The First World War as a period of time is very interesting because, in a way, the more you look at it the more you realise that the world was completely changed by it. I think that in 1923 the scale of that change was only just beginning to be understood. The implications of the ideals that people had gone to war for and the monumental sacrifice that people had made, those implications were only just coming to land. In The Witness for the Prosecution, you have this death five years after a war where life and death had been so trivially valued. It was been fascinating shooting in Liverpool, where the majority of my scenes were shot, whilst walking around the City Hall I came across a World War I commemorative plaque which just happened to be dated 1923, the time that this film is set, and there were thirteen thousand Liverpudlians commemorated in list form. The coincidence as an actor to seize upon something like that was very timely. You begin to get a sense of that scale, and to know that every city across the country has those memorials still. They dominate our lives and the spirit of the war and the fallen will always haunt us.
TKT: Were you familiar with Agatha Christie's works before coming to this production?
TB: Agatha Christie, as I understand it, is the best selling author of all time after Shakespeare and the Bible, so I think it is hard not to have heard of her novels or seen an adaptation on television or film. I remember as a kid going to the cinema to see Death on the Nile, starring Peter Ustinov and I had the pleasure of playing a part in the television version of Murder on the Orient Express. Like Shakespeare, Agatha Christie is something that you can just absorb.
TKT: What is it that makes Agatha Christie stories so absorbing?
TB: I think it is curious as one of the satisfactions of watching an Agatha Christie adaptation or reading one of her stories is that she presents a crime early on, but the mechanism of the plot evolves ingeniously and you find yourself trying to sort it out. There is a pleasure in watching clockwork plots unwind. What I found interesting and attractive about The Witness for the Prosecution, and in Sarah Phelps' adaptation of it, is that it is untypical of Agatha Christie because the plot does not sort itself out. Clearly there is unease in the plot and I think that is a direct reflection of the time in which Christie was writing.
TKT: Describe the relationship between John Mayhew, and his wife Alice?
TB: John and Alice's marriage is an interesting challenge; their relationship is clearly dysfunctional and existing on very low ebb. They're little more than people who exist in the same space together and I suppose the challenge is to try and make it more than purely miserable. The challenge is to try and find the way that people who are depressed in a relationship manage to keep going and manage to find a positive side to it and portray those moments of lightness.
The Witness For The Prosecution: Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th December, 9pm, BBC1

The Russian government said Wednesday the U.S. and its allies should refrain from striking Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack because military action would destroy "all evidence" of what happened at the attack site.
In a Facebook post, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asked if a chemical weapons watchdog preparing to deploy to Syria was aware that U.S.-led strikes could interfere with its investigation.
"Or is it the original idea to use the smart missiles to sweep the traces of the provocation under the rug?" Zakharova added, according to the Associated Press.
The Syrian government denies allegations that it used poison gas against civilians in eastern Ghouta over the weekend. The attack killed at least 60 people and left hundreds more injured, drawing international outrage and promises from Western allies to respond with military force.
Russia continues to insist the attack was fabricated by rebel groups in Syria with the aim of provoking a U.S. attack on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
President Donald Trump promised on Tuesday a missile strike "will be coming" and warned Russia not to intervene in defense of Assad. Trump's heated words were a response to Russia's envoy to Lebanon, who said earlier that Russian forces would "shoot down the missiles and target the positions from where they were launched."
The Kremlin appeared to walk back its ambassador's remarks on Wednesday, calling for both sides to wait for an "impartial investigation" before deciding how to respond to the chemical attack.
"As before, we would like to hope that all sides will avoid any steps that a) are not provoked by anything and b) could significantly destabilize an already fragile situation in the region," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and France have moved warships armed with cruise missiles into the eastern Mediterranean, within striking range of Syria. Britain also has an air defense destroyer in the same area, along with more than a dozen fighter jets that could be used in an attack, reports the Wall Street Journal.

At the same time, Mendenhall doesn't believe Hall should receive any more punishment than he already has for his outburst, during which he expressed "hate" for the University of Utah and called the school and its fan base "classless."
Asked Monday about Hall's comments, which prompted a public reprimand from the Mountain West Conference last week, Mendenhall said, "I can't say (Hall's comments) surprised me because I know how hard the entire year was for Max. Not only the events of last year's game, but then really the comments and things that happened the entire year until then. Unfortunately, Max didn't use great judgment and expressed those sentiments and thoughts in front of a public format. That in and of itself was discouraging and disappointing. However, he's grown from it. I'm positive that he has."
The coach said Hall should not be suspended because of his comments.
"Not only do I not think he needs a suspension, I think he's learned and grown and probably become someone better than he currently was by going through this experience," Mendenhall said. "Unfortunately, it was very painful and will be for quite some time. But that was plenty of punishment from my perspective."


text: The year 2018 started extremely cold, and the hard freeze resulted in the many frostweed plants in our back yard exploding. Their sap expands and freezes into white ribbon flowers. They are fragile and brittle things. This year's were really very large compared with ones I've seen in the past. They don't last, however; as soon as the sun gets onto them and the temperatures come up a little, they melt.
