You can thank Bill "THE B-A-S-T-A-R-D" Clinton for signing this disgrace.
Jul 27, 2009 | Posted by: Paulathesurfmom | Full story: lezgetreal.com
After deciding last week there was not sufficient support in the Senate for her amendment to the 2010 Defense funding bill that would have put an 18 month moratorium on Dont Ask, Dont Tell, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will now be getting a hearing on the issue from the Armed Services Committee this fall.
It will be the first time in 16 years that the committee has held hearings on Dont Ask-Dont Tell, the policy which bars openly gay and lesbian members from serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
In a press release from her office this morning Gillibrand said, This policy is wrong for our national security and wrong for the moral foundation upon which our country was founded.

Judged: 3 3 3 You've launched sleazy attacks and gutter politics at any Democrat, you've all the credibility of Rush Limbaugh on the topic. Yeah, Clinton was wrong on this one issue. Name a president who was never wrong on anything. He remains one of the better presidents we've ever had, and victim of more hate and lies and cheap attacks than any president in our history. Want a bastard? How about the bastard who lied us into a war that's killed thousands? |

No incumbent gets my vote until these idiotic laws are repealed (dadt, doma) and until equal rights laws are passed (hate crimes, enda, etc). I've had it with all the lying by politicians running for office, so I'm just voting them all out of every office every year until things change. |

Judged: 3 3 3 Impeched? or impeached? He may have been impeached but he was not convicted which I personally feel bears more levity in the situation. As for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", President Clinton admits that it was a mistake. It amy seem of little comfort but I can tell you that the military would have reacted negatively to flat out allowance of homosexuals to serve openly in that time. You forget that back then we weren't viewed favorably... the Sodamy laws were still on the books and in some states gay sex was still considered illegal. "DADT", however ill concieved as it may seem, was a smart compromise. It is out dated now. It is why I volontarily separated. But you know what... damned if it did not make my life easier when I first started in the service. When I enlisted I didn't have to spread my cheeks for a doctor like my brother did years early (supposedly to look for hemeroids but actually to look for evidence of sexual activity) and nobody was able to ask about my sexuality even though I displayed some flamboyant qualities. I'm sure it hasn't been good for everyone but I'm willing to bet that for every case where "DADT" went wrong, there is another case where it actually served to protect. Now, I'm not justifying "DADT"'s existence now... as mentioned, it is outdated. The US has an altered perception of homosexuals. The sodamy laws are no longer valid. Some states allow gay marriage. There are some states that have employment protections in place as well. Still... it is no shocker that the military is years behind the rest of the US. It has always been a slow learner. Constitutionality really bears little importance on military law as it is quite the seperate entity. That is something every fresh recruit is informed of the instant they step off the bus and start boot camp... they have a new constituiton... a new code of conduct... and trust me when I say some of them are waaaaay out dated (some laughably so) |

Step into a warped dimension of stealth and intricacy and embrace the mystique of Barry Koota's debut EP, "Perception Deception". The title track kicks things off with with a smooth and subtle stomp that seems to put the listener into the shoes of a ninja in the Sahara desert, sneakily moving along and progressing with groove and precision, combining a solid bassline with Eastern melodies. "The Yurn to Gurn" is as cheeky as the title suggests, and it takes a lot of energy not to smile whilst consuming its musical goodness. The tightness of the drums along side a defiant melody line is merged with finely plucked sample cuts to deliver the works. Hook Shot brings the EP to an energetic climax. The impeccably roaring bass sounds are complimented by ground shattering drops and weaved together with the distorted retro vibe of the track. Perception Deception is an EP that truly evolves track to track, sneaking up until it encapsulates all of your senses like you couldn't perceive. It's a very good introduction to one of Australia's most promising glitch hop talents.

Children, like the elderly, are a vulnerable group that requires oversight, protection, and regulations to protect them. (See "Children in Day Care Are Susceptible to Many of the Same Problems Our Elderly Nursing Home Patients Encounter")
Choosing a Child Care Provider
When choosing a child care facility, there are a number of factors to keep in mind. It is important to find a high-quality facility, where you feel your children are receiving the best care and attention. (Trust Your Instinct When Placing a Child in Daycare with Potential Hazards)
When you visit potential child care centers, you should look for:
- A positive and safe environment
- Good communication between the parents and staff
- Long-term caregivers with experience or training in child development
- A small caregiver to child ratio, to ensure that your child receives proper attention
The group, Child Care Aware, lists five recommendations when choosing a child care facility:
- Start early – Give yourself enough time to look at multiple child care facilities and properly weigh your options
- Call local child care resources and referral (CCR&R) agencies
- Ask questions when you visit a facility – look around, check for hazards, count the number of children/caregivers, and ask about training and background checks
- Make a decision
- Stay involved
Child care is expensive, so naturally, price will be one factor in your decision. In two-parent households, 10.6% of the family income goes toward child care. There are some state assisted child care programs funded by the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), and some families may be eligible for tax benefits (Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and Child and Dependent Care Credit).
Child Care Options
The United States has more than 335,000 licensed child care facilities that offer supervised, regular care of children for a fee. (Type and number of licensed child care facilities by state). Child care options include:
- Child Care Centers – Nonresidential facilities
- Family Child Care/ Group Day Care Home/Day Care Home – Residential facilities
- Family/Friend/Neighbor Care – Relative/friend/neighbor provides care in their own home or the child's home
- Nanny/Au Pair – One person cares for child in the child's home, sometimes also living there
The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) has a table showing the distribution of child care arrangements for children younger than 15 years of age.

Early education programs offer an alternative to child care. The programs work on developing skills to prepare the children for school. These programs include:
- Early Head Start (EHS) – Federally funded program for low income families with young children (Head Start Locator)
- Head Start – Same as EHS but for older children, 3-5 years old.
- State-funded prekindergarten programs – For children 3-4 years of age
Federal Regulation
Individual states regulate and license child care. Federal law does require that states regulate child care facilities to prevent infectious disease, require premise safety, and health and safety training. As expected, regulations vary from state to state.
Regulations generally include: licensing requirements, inspections, child to staff ratio, background checks, health and safety requirements, child development, and parent communication/involvement. (State licensing requirements)
Age Groups |
Developmental Stage | Age | Functional Definition |
Infant | 0-12 months | Birth to ambulation |
Toddler | 13-35 months | Ambulation to accomplishment of self-care routines such as use of the toilet |
Pre-schooler | 36-50 months | From achievement of self-care routine to entry into regular school |
School-Age Child | 5-12 years | Entry into regular school, including kindergarten through 6th grade |
State Regulation – Illinois
The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) regulates Illinois licensing and standards (Illinois child care Rules). There were 2,907 licensed day care facilities, 473 group day care homes, and 10,050 licensed day care homes in Illinois in 2007. These facilities have the capacity to serve over 295,000 children. (Illinois Daycare Listings)
Illinois regulations set forth minimum standards for child care facilities and institutions. The Illinois Child Care Act (225 ILCS 10) has standards, licensing requirements, background checks, and responsibilities (Child Care Act Study Guide). (See "Day Care Worker Leaves Children Unattended in Gym – Situation Demonstrates the Need for More Regulation of Child Care in Alternative Settings")
The Illinois Administrative Code includes rules covering the licensing standards for child care facilities:
- Part 300: Reports of Child Abuse and Neglect
- Part 404: Licensing Standards for Child Care Institutions and Maternity Centers
- Part 405: Licensing Standards for Day Care Agencies
- Part 406: Licensing Standards for Day Care Homes (Summary of Licensing Standards for Day Care Homes)
- Part 407: Licensing Standards for Day Care Centers (Summary of Licensing Standards For Day Care Centers.pdf)
- Part 408: Licensing Standards for Group Day Care Homes (Summary of Licensing Standards for Group Day Care Homes)

I'm surprised to see that I haven't already reviewed this foundation. However, I'm just about to write a review of the new formulation Creme de la Mer creme foundation, so I can do a little comparison.
There's not much I can add to the 3 reviews below mine. This stuff lasts forever - I've had my bottle for ages now and it is still fresh. Neither the consistency nor the scent of it has changed. This can give you beautiful airbrushed skin, but you do need to beware of using too much. I find I struggle with this foundation to get a totally natural look with this. It still looks pretty for daytime use, but not totally natural.
For me it is worth the ridiculously high price tag. I think mine was £90. It's worth it because it makes my face look flawless and it lasts a long time. I find that this gives me a slightly better colour match than the Creme de la Mer, and I find it glides on a little easier. Hard to choose between the two. I think overall the La Mer gives a more natural finish. It's harder to detect on the skin.
Oh, and I find the concealer in the lid of this to be useless for me. I use the shade Porcelaine Blush and the concealer is too light for me to use.

I love, love, love this foundation! Having used Cle de Peau both Creamy Foundation as well as the Creamy Powder Foundation for several years (I still think they are great foundations!), I felt like wanting to change for something new, different. The Skin Caviar Foundation is just pure beautiful, perfect! You only need the tiniest amount, like two grains of rice, for the entire face. I apply it with my Giorgio Armani foundation brush, and the result is just speechless! The foundation will leave your skin looks ever so healthy, natural as if you don't have any make up on, with a nice, firmed and toned looking face. The lasting power of this foundation is awesome. I only need to blot my face once a day, without any touching up, and my face would still look as fresh 8 or 9 hours later. The bottle will last at least a year, whether you mix it with moisturizer or not (I use it as it is, without mixing it with any moisturizer). The foundation also comes with a matching concealer. The shade I use is Soie Naturel and it is a perfect match for my skin. I normally transfer a small amount into a small container, enough of about 2 weeks use or so, and keep the original bottle closed to keep the product fresh. For $165 per bottle of 30ml/1oz, it seems like a lot, but you only need the tiniest amount, unlike other mediocre foundations that are available in the market, so it will last you much longer. Also, not only it is a beautiful foundation, it is also a treatment for your face. If you are out to try this foundation, remember don't use too much because that will leave you a mask-like looking face. Just use as little as possible, but enough to cover your face, and you will be pleasantly surprised!! I love, love, love this foundation, and of course, I will repurchase!!!

Love this stuff. Its expensive yes but you only need the tiniest amount for your whole face. During the day I just use one dot and mix it with a tinted moisturizer (Clinique) and its perfect. For night I'll use alone. This stuff lasts forever. When I don't use it I can completely see a difference in my face, my skin tone just doesn't look as good and my blush doesn't go on as well. If you mix it with the tinted moisturizer it will seriously last you a year.
Very good foundation (especially its staying power, even in humid weather) but it could be a little 'masky'. I am not so very satisfied with a colour range. I don't like the concealer either (too thick & dry). Packaging is impossible, a bulky glass bottle - I never travel with it (I transfer foundation into a smaller pot). If you have to travel, ask for a few samples because one sample lasts for a long time (a week or so). And one more thing: it definitely IS overpriced. I have switched to some other foundations recently, as overall I'm not so in love with this one any more.
I've been using La Prairie caviar foundation Creme Peche for four years now. I'll start with the positive things I love about this foundation:
Your face looks awesome and flawless in photos.
People notice that you must pay big bucks for your foundation, yes it's obvious you are wearing a high end product.
It lasts all day, you don't even need to touch up with a compact or powder throughout the day, even in humid weather.
The concealer it comes with is great for the under eye area or as an eyeshadow primer. Use it sparingly and you won't run out too soon before the foundation.
I use my foundation on a daily basis, and it lasts about 8 months.
Once you know your shade, you can purchase it on ebay or strawberry.net for a cheaper price, but I've never done that before.
It goes on well with a foundation brush.
Again, did I mention that your foundation looks like it was airbrushed or you're wearing make up celebrities wear.
You can scrape every last morsel of product out of the bottle with a Qtip.
Purchasing this product comes with an overwhelming sense of guilt that you're paying a lot of money for a luxury item.
The bottle is bulky and not travel friendly, and you have to be careful that you don't drop it because it's a glass bottle.
The foundation looks even more fabulous if you apply the La Prairie cellular retexturizer before appplying the foundation. Unfortunately, this is about another $150 USD.
The mirrored stand and small concealer brush it comes with is not necessary and I usually throw away the stand, and now have about six of those brushes.
Once you buy this product it is VERY difficult to switch to another, because it's addictive.
I've recently decided to take a break from La Prairie foundation after four years. Throughout this time I have proactively managed my mild to moderate acne with frequent facials, expensive skin care products, and pharmaceuticals, oral and topical. I'm going to experiment if not wearing La Prairie will help minimize my break outs or try and determine if it's contributing to my break outs. Giving up La Prairie is the last step in trying to minimize break outs and acne. I may be back to update my review if it turns out my beloved La Prairie is the culprit.
My second choice to La Prairie is Fresh. I've tried Lancome, Laura Mercier, Chanel, Bare Escentuals, and Fresh seems to be the runner up to La Prairie.
I've been using Fresh for over a month now, and I no longer have any break outs! It's amazing. In the past, I've always had at least 2-3 active breakouts. But now, no more! I can't say for sure that it's because I'm no longer using La Prairie, but it's quite coincidental that my break outs have ceased.

I wanted to try something that would illuminate my 50 year-old skin without looking like a mask. Although I have been reasonably happy with GA LSF, I decided to see if there was another foundation out there that would give me long-wearing, natural-looking coverage and this is it. The GA LSF provides a great look but doesn't really wear too well after several hours. I read the reviews and debated between Cle de Peau and La Prairie. The Saks CdP SA wasn't too knowlegeable and I was not impressed with the finish that the CdP foundation gave me. It looked like a cakey veil on my face. It reminded me of elderly women wearing bad foundation. Yecch! Anyhow, I decided to give La Prairie a try and am I glad I did. The color matches my skin beautifully and I use a sponge to apply the foundation. It provides great coverage for the red area around my nose and the finish is really beautiful - a dewey but very natural look. In addition, I have found that the foundation is very long wearing, and after 8 hours, my face still looks good. I love it!

I got a sample of this as no way could I justify paying £90 for it then not liking it.
I thought it was so overpriced felt quite heavy and greasy on. I am sensitive combination.
The day after I broke out on my head and I never ever get spots there. Thank goodness I didn't buy it!
The colour match was pretty good and I liked the thought of treating my skin whilst wearing foundation however will not repurchase.
I love love love this foundation! I have Cream Blush and Creme Peche, and both colours look fine on my Diorskin #200, Chanel #20 Clair skin. I actually got this a while ago. Initially I hated it! It looked cakey and pasty on me. Recently I have rediscovered this, and I find that by using less product, this actually gives me a flawless finish, with radiant looking skin. My skin was still able show through, no cakiness, natural looking, but very dewy/ glowy looking (but not the oily/greasy type of glow!). Now I love it!

It makes me sad to write this review. I LOVED my LP caviar foundation - I went from begging samples to actually buying a bottle, convinced I had found my HG. But, after using it for a month or two, I realized I was getting a lot of breakouts. I'd never really had whiteheads before, just some cystic acne, but lately I've been getting whiteheads all the time. When I switch back to MMU, they seem to go away.
Which leads me to believe that my beloved LP is causing the problems. I'm really upset about that.
It gives a beautiful finish and really makes my skin look flawless. I get constant compliments on my complexion when I use it, but the breakouts are a real problem (I scar easily, so breakouts stay with me for a long time). And honestly, though it's pricey, I can see the bottle lasting up to a year, so overall it's actually pretty inexpensive.
Too bad :(

I got a lot of samples when I shopped at La Prairie about months ago. I tried this out and found the texture very smooth and thin and natural looking. My sis gave me a compliment when I was wearing this. :) I don't think I will buy the full size though as It's very expensive.
I used this foundation in creme peche yesterday. It's the perfect match for my skin tone. It stays on all day. It looks so natural and flawless. Love it! The best!

Howley: Out at Free Beacon, in at Daily Caller
Washington Free Beacon reporter Patrick Howley is the first employee to leave the right-wing news outlet. He wrote last week saying, "I'm not sure where exactly the door is revolving to. Anyways, I'm out at the Free Beacon. Voluntary resignation. Given my reputation in Washington, it may well be the end of my days working indoors."
But Howley got a job quicker than he thought. He's going to work for The Daily Caller. He starts today. "I'm leaving to pursue new opportunities, challenges, and horizons," he wrote, prior to getting the new job. "Mostly horizons. I have some irons in the fire of the media world. I'm good at failing upward. No worries."
Congratulations to Howley!

Click here to view The World-Herald's 2012 Election Guide.
Much has been made of the gaping gulf in American politics and how wide the chasm between Republicans and Democrats seems. As Election Day nears, passions have been rising — so much that it can be tough to see beyond the shouting to the real policy choices waiting to be made.
Still, some voices have kept insisting that the choices will have to be made. Those voices will get louder after Tuesday, when Congress and the president — without the preoccupation of a campaign — must face a series of recession-risking, tax-and-spending deadlines dubbed "the fiscal cliff." Then a new Congress, and perhaps a new president, will take over.
Anticipating this refocusing on issues, The World-Herald since June has highlighted some of the most entrenched parts of "The Divide," at times finding common ground. Here's a recap.
Barack Obama
Touts "all-of-the-above" energy development, including Arctic oil drilling. Favors shifting subsides from oil to renewables. Tightened rules for auto fuel economy and power plant pollution. Has delayed approving the Keystone XL pipeline.
Those left of center say
New production technologies aside, fossil fuels remain finite, polluting and globe-warming to produce and to burn. U.S. policies should hasten a shift to renewable, cleaner energy sources such as solar, wind and next-generation biofuels. Accelerating that shift now, even if initially costlier, will cushion the inevitable transition from fossil fuels, make America a leader in new industries and pay immediate environmental benefits.
Common ground
Both sides hail recent drops in foreign oil dependence. Both favor environmentally careful development of domestic fossil fuels. No one favors pollution. And polls show most Americans favor reducing greenhouse gases but don't want the added cost to hurt the economy. Most of all, experts on both sides say, choices would be clearer and less bitterly fought if the U.S. had a long-term energy policy — a road map of priorities.
Those right of center say
Maximize use of America's own oil, gas and coal. New technologies such as fracking and horizontal drilling have made more of these accessible, and they're the market-proven energy sources. Drilling should be expanded in the Arctic and offshore, and more of our imported oil should come from close allies such as Canada. With maximum domestic production — plus conservation — the U.S. one day can reach energy independence.
Mitt Romney
Favors cutting regulations and maintaining tax breaks for U.S. fossil fuel production. Opposes subsidizing renewables except for basic research. Accuses Obama of stalling Keystone XL.
Barack Obama
Says "broken" immigration system needs a national consensus for reform. Prioritized deportations and pushed them to record high, but ordered deportations ended for most who entered U.S. illegally as minors. Has increased Border Patrol staff, canceled "virtual" fence as unworkable. Favors voluntary use of E-Verify system, says it's too error-prone to be mandatory.
Those left of center say
It's not migrants' fault that their poor countries sit next to a rich one whose thirst for drugs fuels violence and chokes the economies in their homelands. Therefore it is difficult to blame people for fleeing one place for the other, legally or not. Forcing all to return home is neither feasible nor humane. Moreover, the undocumented in the U.S. provide a net benefit: paying taxes, doing jobs Americans don't want and supplying more young working families to a society that, without immigration, would be graying too rapidly. Controlling immigration makes sense, but so does finding a humane, one-time-only solution to the problem of the undocumented.
Common ground
Regardless of immigrants' value to the U.S. historically, no society can expect to cope with unrestricted migration. Therefore control of borders is necessary, although there are differences over how to achieve it. Both sides agree that leaving the problem indefinitely unresolved is corrosive to society and to the rule of law, that it does no one good to have some 4 percent of America's residents living in legal limbo.
Those right of center say
People here without documentation broke the law by entering the U.S. — something that must not be rewarded or granted amnesty, lest more be encouraged to follow. The undocumented impose social and economic burdens on taxpaying Americans — consuming jobs, public education and medical care — and should return to their homelands. Uncontrolled immigration poses security risks in a post-9/11 world, makes drug trafficking harder to combat, and complicates issues such as energy, the environment, education and debt.
Mitt Romney
Condemned Obama deportation order as stopgap, but hasn't said what the permanent solution should be. Favors "self-deportation" by blocking illegal immigrants from jobs, government benefits. Favors fencing entire U.S.-Mexico border and making E-Verify mandatory.
Barack Obama
Favors letting Bush tax cuts expire for household income above $250,000. Favors tax simplification but hasn't offered details. On entitlements, touts law ordering Medicare to find $716 billion in savings without cutting benefits. Opposes balanced budget amendment.
Those left of center say
The national debt may be too large. But all serious nonpartisan studies of the problem agree it must be attacked through a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts. Moreover, because income inequality has been worsening since World War II, changes should tilt in favor of the middle and lower classes. That's tricky, because entitlement programs, the safety net for those classes, are a prime target for spending cuts because of their sheer size. Supply-side arguments are wrong or exaggerated. Better to focus on policies — education, job training, health care and retirement protections — that can shore up nonwealthy families' ability to spend and drive economic growth. Further to the left, some say government is a tool that society is obligated to use to improve the lives of the poorest.
Common ground
There's much agreement that the national debt is getting worrisomely big, enlarged each year by budget deficits of more than $1 trillion. No one favors dodging the debt. In other words, default is unthinkable. There's also wide agreement that too-drastic spending cuts or tax hikes — perhaps like those in the "fiscal cliff" scheduled to arrive Dec. 31 — would throw the country into a new recession. Most also agree that predictability and simplicity would be good things to have in tax policy.
Those right of center say
The federal government is grossly overextended and dangerously in debt. Raising taxes — although it could bring in more revenue and help close the gap — would only tempt policy makers to maintain the bloat instead of reduce it. So government must be forced to shrink by depriving it of funds — a strict diet. Supply-siders say keeping taxes low, even cutting them, will encourage private investors and fuel economic growth, thus bringing in more tax revenue: a virtuous circle. Further to the right, some say reducing government to a pre-1930s size is a moral imperative, that Uncle Sam simply should not have so much reach into everyday life.
Mitt Romney
Favors renewing Bush tax cuts for all. Wants tax simplification to lower rates by eliminating deductions without altering total revenue, but hasn't detailed a plan. Wants to cap spending at 20 percent of GDP but hasn't proposed cuts to get there. On entitlements, favors converting Medicare into fixed payments for senior citizens' health care. Favors balanced budget amendment.
Barack Obama
Ended the Iraq war and is closing down the Afghan war. Gave the order for the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Vows to keep Iran from acquiring nukes, but says sanctions need more time. Says U.S. should foster democracy as Arab Spring rebellions unfold over years; used U.S. air power in Libya but declines to intervene in Syria.
Those left of center say
Assertiveness too easily becomes hubris, a hair-trigger resort to military options, and a dangerous belief that we should and can control the world. That's the recipe for bloody quagmire. Swagger and "ugly-Americanism" are more likely to invite attack than any supposed show of weakness. Multilateral, negotiated solutions to disputes, although sometimes harder to achieve, can be more enduring and can set better precedents. "American exceptionalism" can mean we feel uniquely blessed and have a duty to lead by example. But it's dangerous if it leads to seeing the U.S. as the world's superhero.
Common ground
Few on either side truly question the other's love of country or desire for peace. And foreign policy still has a little of a partisanship-stops-at-the-water's-edge tradition: Americans like to show a united front abroad, especially when troops are in the field. But especially since the Vietnam War, the parties wrangle over when to use military power. Beneath that lies a philosophical divide over human nature and the inevitability of war.
Those right of center say
America, the sole superpower, should be more assertive in world affairs and should remain well-equipped militarily to do so. To show weakness or to apologize invites attack. Likewise, over-reliance on multilateral action leads to dithering and makes the United States captive to others' hesitancy or ulterior motives. "American exceptionalism" means we are destined to lead, even compel, the rest of the world to embrace political freedoms and free markets — the best long-term recipe for peace.
Mitt Romney
Says U.S. foreign policy should be more assertive, criticizes Obama approach as "apology tour." Supports withdrawals of troops but says some should have stayed in Iraq and says Afghanistan timing was politically motivated. Has set varying "red lines" for Iran but accuses Obama of estranging Israel. On Arab Spring, criticizes security in Libya, favors sending heavier arms to Syrian rebels.
Romney: Opposes abortion rights. Wants abortion law left to states. Would end government aid to Planned Parenthood.
Obama: Supports abortion rights. Health care law requires employers with health plans to include no-copay contraceptives — except for religious employers. Does not want the exception extended to religious-affiliated employers.
Romney: Calls for lower taxes, less regulation, more trade deals to spur growth. Wants to replace jobless benefits with unemployment savings accounts. Favors repeal of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law toughening financial-industry regulations.
Obama: Backed $800 billion stimulus plan during the recession. Continued the Wall Street and auto industry bailouts begun under predecessor. Favors tax breaks for manufacturing in U.S. or repatriating jobs from abroad.
Romney: Wants repeal of Affordable Care Act, calling it wrong for U.S., though it resembles his Massachusetts plan. Favors leaving most health insurance policy to states. Would expand medical savings accounts.
Obama: Would press forward with health care law, expanding coverage by requiring most Americans to get coverage and limiting insurers' ability to deny it.
Romney: Opposes any change for people 55 and older. For younger people, he would raise retirement age, restrain benefit increases for wealthier recipients.
Obama: Has not offered comprehensive plan. Proposed using new inflation gauge that would restrain annual cost-of-living increases.

Islam in Guinea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2005 official statistics for Islam in Guinea estimate that 85% of Guinea's 7.8 million people are Muslim. Most are Sunnis who follow the Maliki legal tradition and Qadiri and Tijani Sufi orders. . Although the French established a colony in 1891, their control of the region was weak. After independence in 1958, the nominally Muslim Marxist president Sékou Touré discouraged Islamization; only after his popularity waned in the 1970s did Touré seek to co-opt Muslim institutions to legitimize his rule. Since Touré's death in 1984, cooperation between the Muslim community and the government has continued.[1]

There are many different soups found in Thailand, made with all types of seafood, poultry and meats. The one thing they all have in common is that intriguing flavor that is simultaneously sour, salty and spicy. Thais call this flavor Yum. Yum is perhaps the most important flavor in Thai cooking. You may recognize the word "Yum" in Thai dishes like Yum Nuea (spicy beef salad) and of course tom yum soup. The ingredients that give us this magical combination are the basics of the Thai kitchen. Salt is rarely used; instead there is fish sauce (nam pla), a liquid made from salted fermented fish. It doesn't sound very appetizing, but it is indispensable in Thai cooking.

How to Inflate a Basketball
Edited by S jun, Teresa, Maluniu, Jacob and 3 others
Playing basketball with a flat ball is no use obviously, but also playing basketball with too much bounce is not fun either. Learn the basic tips to enjoy the best possible game.
1Purchase a good ball air pump if you have not done so already. Pumps aren't really expensive and are easy to find, even the ones from famous brands like Nike. It really doesn't matter; whatever pump you buy.
- You are also required to purchase a pump needle that goes through the tiny hole on the basketball.
Ad -
2Connect your needle to the pump, moisten the needle with water, insert the needle in the hole on the ball, and start pumping.
3Stop the pumping every now and then. The point of this is to check how much air you have pumped. Compress the ball with your fingers and check if the ball is not pressed too easily. Another way to check is to hold your ball beneath the chin and drop it. If the ball reaches approximately your waist level, then that's the correct amount of air you've pumped. Remember that is doesn't have to be exactly straight with your waist level, just approximately.
4Enjoy your game out there with a pumped ball.Ad
- Make sure you get a lot of needles (for air pump) because they might break.
- Make sure that you moisten the needle and hole before inserting the needle, or you might damage both the ball and the needle.

Becky and a Friend
Fiction, Masturbation, Teen Female/Boy, Young
Author's infos
Gender: Male Age: Secret Location: N/A
Posted: 2010-06-16
Seventeen-year-old Becky got cought last night. By a stranger. In public. What might happen?
Rob was sitting up in bed reading, when he heard it: a girl screaming. But it didn't sound like she was in pain. No, it sounded like the opposite. He jumped out of his bed and ran to the front door, and unlocked it. If it was what he thought it was... he fumbled with the key, but got the door open after a moment. When he got the door open, he leaned against the doorway and watched as a teenage-looking girl who looked extremely nervous unlock and mount a bike. Their eyes locked for a moment, and Rob saw the ghost of an orgasm lingering in hers. His penis immediately saluted and sprang to attention. She broke the lock after a moment and, looking as embarrassed as Rob thought anyone could ever be, started riding off down the dark street without her lights on. He ran his finger along his penis though his shorts just as she rode past, and then she was gone. This was a fetish he had always had, public masturbation, so he decided to go after her.
Quick as a flash, Rob grabbed hold of some shoes and a jacket, and ran in the direction she went. He came to a sideroad and looked down it. There she was standing next to her bike at the other end of the road, throwing a cigarette into the gutter, lights now on her bike. Even by the light of the lamp posts he saw that this girl was attractive, probably the best-looking girl he'd seen for a couple of years. A drop of precum formed on his shorts as his poker-straight, poker-hard penis pressed against them. She looked round, saw him, and rushed off again.
'Wow,' he thought to himself. 'Wow.' At twenty years old, he had only just moved into this little house by the sea, with money he'd inherited from a particularly rich grandparent. He hadn't even lived there a month, and this happened! In his excitement, he started stroking himself, even as he walked back to his own house. When he got in, he locked the door and went back to bed, but didn't resume reading...
The next morning, Becky woke up feeling clean and warm in her bed. She thought last night had been a dream for a moment, until she turned round and saw her open drawer, and the diary roughly thrown on top. She sat up in her bed, picked it up, and opened it. There, as she had hoped, was the diary entry and strip of Sellotape she'd put there in the early hours of the morning.
As the day went on, she thought about the man who had caught her last night. She felt extreme embarrassment, but mostly, it made her instantly horny. When she got home from college at the end of the day, she went upstairs and got the diary out. She started writing down, in minute detail, what had happened. As she did this, her hand started to creep between her legs. Once or twice, she realized she was doing it, and stopped herself because she wanted to get her diary entry written, but when it happened again, she just let go and masturbated. Of all the things she'd experienced, last night had been the most thrilling. She came within no time at all, and then finished writing her diary.
She went back downstairs and ate dinner with her parents, and then sat around with them watching TV for a couple of hours. Her mind drifted. She wanted to recapture that thrill again. She had to, because thinking about it made her feel like she'd never have that sort of orgasm again if she didn't.
Hours later, she decided she wanted to smoke, so she got up and walked out of the house to light a cigarette. She walked around the block slowly, and thought of him again. She wanted to see him. She thought about even cycling back, tonight, to give him a show. Lightheaded, she finished her cigarette and arrived back home.
Upstairs, she opened her bedroom door and walked in, kicked off her shoes and shut the door. She sat on her bed and fell back and thought to herself seriously about going back to the beach again tonight. Was it worth it? What would she do if he wanted something she didn't want to give? What if he took it? 'No,' she said aloud, 'he walked after me. He didn't run, and he stopped.'
After much more thought, she decided that she would go again, damn it. She thought she could remember which house he had come from. And if he wanted something, she'd give it to him. She felt dirty, and even sort of wanted him to want to fuck her, even though she was a virgin.
She decided to go and have another shower. If she was going to visit a man, and if it was even slightly possible that one or both of them might end up naked, she wanted to be clean. So she grabbed a change of clothes and threw them onto her bed, stripped down to nothing and went to the bathroom to shower.
It felt wonderful, the hot water flowing around her body. She cleaned herself from her toes up to her hair, and then stood for about half an hour, feeling completely at ease. Eventually, she decided it she had better get out of the shower now, so she turned off the water and began to rub herself dry. She then walked, with the towel around her waist, to her bedroom, and put on the change of clothes she had picked out: black trousers, white socks, a pink t-shirt, and a pair of black shoes. She toweled her hair dry and brushed it. It was dark blonde, nearly light brown, and straight, so it hung nicely down her back. She went back into the bathroom to examine herself. Her skin was pink with the heat of the water, and her bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement. She winked at herself and bounced back downstairs.
She lounged around with her parents again until the time came, again, for them to go upstairs to bed. When she was quite confident that they were asleep, she made sure her keys and bike lights were in her coat pocket and went outside. The sky wasn't quite as clear as it had been last night, but she could still see the moon and a few stars. Her bike was locked round the side of the house: she unlocked it and set off again.
A few times along her way, Becky nearly turned round and went back home. But then she would remember how excited she had been... excited enough to come on her bike last night on the way home! So she pressed on, and eventually arrived at the road she wanted. She got off her bike and walked, to give herself enough time to see that she knew which house she was looking for. But when she saw the front door, she knew she had remembered the right house. There was a small front lawn behind a gate, and she gingerly opened the gate and leaned her bike against the fence between this house and the next.
This was it. No turning back now. She walked up to the door, which was only a few steps away but seemed miles to Becky when her feet suddenly felt like they were made of lead, and knocked on the door, which was opened almost immediately by a young man wearing khaki trousers and a black turtleneck jumper. She looked at his face and knew it was the same man who had caught her last night.
He was so young! She hadn't seen properly in the dark last night, but she would have bet everything she owned that he wasn't more than a couple of years older than her. 'Hi,' he said. Becky swallowed: she didn't want to vomit on the doorstep. When she was confident that she wasn't going to, she said 'hi. I think you saw me cycling past last night.' He looked at her for a moment, and realized with a spasm that this was the girl whose orgasm had disturbed his reading last night. He looked into her eyes and saw fire. Horny fire. A nervous smile crept onto his face as he said 'yes. D'you want to come in, have a drink?'
He led her to his front room, which was decorated very simply, with a dark carpet and light wallpaper. There was a table near the window with a few books on it, and a TV in the corner. The TV had dust on it, but the books didn't: she thought to herself that he must prefer reading.
'What d'you like? Tea, coffee?'
'Cup of tea sounds nice, thank you.'
The man walked off and came back a minute later with two steaming mugs. He sat down on a sofa, and she did the same as he handed her a mug of hot brown tea, which she thanked him for, and took a sip. Hot, sweet tea was just what she had needed.
The man looked at her for a second, with an eyebrow raised. 'My name's Rob. What's yours?'
'Becky. Why did you come back here?'
Becky blushed hard in reply. Of course, it was a silly idea to come here to try and offer him a show. But...
'You came last night, in more ways than one. Did I turn you on, jumping out at... that crucial moment?' Rob was smiling. He looked nervous too, but not nearly as much as she felt. She took a sip of hot tea to try and calm down again, and decided to throw all caution to the winds.
'Yes.' Her heart was in her throat as she forced herself to say it. 'If you had been outside, on the beach with me, you'd've seen the best...' she struggled to say the word '... orgasm a girl ever felt. I saw you... touch yourself... when I rode past, and wanted to know... did I excite you, too?'
Rob couldn't make his mind up what was going on. Had she come to give him a show, or was she just toying with him? 'You excited me... a lot. I came after you because... doing it in public... always turns me on.' It was now Rob's turn to blush as Becky's eyes flicked to his crotch. 'Yes, you excited me. Hearing you, and then seeing you, all nervous, but still excited... yes. When I saw you so few seconds after you'd been coming, I got so excited it hurt. Literally. I'd started... playing with myself before I even got back inside..' The thought made her quite excited. Her nerves were beginning to roll away.
'Do you want to see me do it now,' Becky asked, 'masturbate for you?' She blushed deep crimson as he unconsciously adjusted his underwear. She looked into his eyes again. 'I've never been caught before. When you caught me last night, I realized that the reason why I always like to masturbate outside is because I want to be seen. No one's seen me do it. Ever. But I want you to. I want to come for you.'
Rob's mouth had fallen open. Becky, though still the same shade of red as a radish, winked at him. It was obviously a forced wink, but he knew from then on that she wasn't just playing around. She wanted to be seen. He ran his fingers down the length of his penis. It wasn't hard yet, but not because he wasn't feeling aroused. He'd been feeling it since Becky had arrived, but he had never been in a position like this, and was nervous to the point of impotence.
'I've never seen one before,' she thought. He stared at her: she'd said it aloud. She drunk the last of her tea in one gulp and slowly took her t-shirt off, exposing her breasts to the first ever male to see them. He gasped and licked his lips. By the look of it, he'd never seen a pair of breasts before. 'Haven't you ever seen boobs before?'
'I... girls don't really like me.' Becky stared at him. She smiled, feeling a little bit less nervous.
'You look alright to me. Are you going to let me see what you have?' She stretched her arm out and brushed his crotch. He looked at her as if to say 'are you sure,' and she licked her lips and looked at it again. He stood up and undid his button and fly, and dragged his pants and underpants down to his knees, and sat down again. They both stared at it as though it was something neither had seen before. Becky held the flaccid penis in her hand and rolled it between her fingers. 'Are you not hard for me yet,' she asked. He looked down at her hand around him. 'Just give it a moment. I'm... a little... nervous.'
Becky smiled naughtily and nodded, stood up, and pulled her shoes and socks off, and then her trousers and knickers. She was naked, and Rob looked even more disbelieving, if possible, than he had done a moment ago. She stretched her body in front of him and curled her toes on the dark carpet, and sat cross-legged on the floor, and licked her fingers.
Rob took hold of his penis and started to squeeze it softly and slowly, while Becky began to rub herself. Becky watched Rob with nearly as much excitement as he did her, because she had no more seen penises than he had any part of a girl before. And, of course, neither of them had been seen naked by anyone else, so they were both feeling extremely nervous.
The feeling of arousal was getting painful for Rob, considering he couldn't seem to make himself raise an erection. Becky's face flushed hard as she decided to - literally - take matters into her own hands. She stood slowly in front of Rob, and took his penis out of his hand. She just held it for a moment, wanting to get a feel for it. She looked at it and memorized what it looked like, and squeezed a little bit again. It felt firm, but still soft. She carefully ran the side of her little finger over the very end of it, and said 'do you need me to help you? Or do you want to carry on trying it yourself?' She let go, and it flopped back onto his leg with a light slapping sound.
'Let me see if I can do it myself. It normally isn't a problem, I promise.' She noticed a look of sincere determination on his face that took her quite by surprize. She decided suddenly that she'd make her absolute best effort to make him hard. She'd gone this far, hadn't she? So she turned around and, legs wide apart, bent over in front of him. He could see her tiny little anus, and the very back of her slightly hairy pussy. He groaned openly when he saw her right hand emerging from under her belly, and her fingers starting to stroke up and down along her crack, brushing past both her anus and her pussy.
'Like it?'
'Ooooh, yesss.' He'd watched porn, even seen stuff like this done on video, but seeing it done only inches from your own face was different. Completely different. He was completely enthralled. After few moments, her anus contracted, and she suddenly turned around and stood up straight. Her face was still flush, but now with embarrassment.
'I'm sorry. Can I... can I use your toilet? It's... this always happens to me when I'm nervous.' She looked down at her naked feet. She was sure she'd make a fool of herself now.
'Can I watch?' What? Had he really just blurted that out? Scuppered it now...
'What? If you really want - where is it?'
'Just here, follow me.' Now he was excited, this was something he liked to see sometimes, when he was feeling very excited. His heart was beating like mad, and in his excitement he jumped up and started to walk, but he'd forgotten that his pants were still around his ankles. He fell over. Becky groaned and hopped. Rob slipped his shoes off and pulled his pants off, and led her out of the room to a little room across. They walked in and he hit the switch with his palm. She sat on the seat, at first with her legs together. 'Can't I watch?' He had a look of a child promised a bag of sweets about him. She didn't really want to... but then... how had she felt when she'd had to go by the river last year? She raised herself up and lifted the seat up, and sat on the toilet, hips forward, legs wide. She looked at his face, and lifted her hips high, so she wasn't touching the porcelain.
'Ready?' She pushed, and a warm turd came out from her, accompanied by a wet crackling sound and a splash, and the smallest tinkle of pee. Rob was staring, but not because it was a particular fetish for him, more just nother 'naughty' thing to do with someone you've only just met. The same, in short, as how Becky was feeling.
'Go on, Becky.' There was fire in his eyes, now, and his penis was finally beginning to swell. She gloried, for a moment, in the feeling of having someone so excited over her. As the turd came out, Becky felt it brush and scratch slightly. Rob looked at her again for a moment, and then said 'would you like me to wipe you?' He really wanted to touch her.
'Yes, OK,' she whispered. 'Bit wierd,' she thought, but she wanted to be touched, too. He obliged. When she was clean, she stood up and flushed the toilet. Rob was now starting to stroke himself: it looked like the boner had finally arrived. They silently walked back to the front room, and they sat down next to each other. Rob masturbated slowly, looking across to his left as Becky did the same. Becky couldn't take her eyes off Rob's erect penis, either; the long, smooth shaft with its red helmet on the end make her feel excited in a way she didn't know she could. She could see Rob was looking up and down her body hungrily, and she had an idea. With her left hand, she reached over and took hold of his, which was on his knee. She lifted it and pulled it toward her chest, turning round a little bit to make it easier for him. 'Fancy lending a hand?'
He happilly started fondling her breasts while they both masturbated. 'It's hard to think,' he thought to himself, 'this time yesterday I'd never seen a girl naked, let alone touched one's breasts or done this with her.' The closest he'd came to it, he remembered, was that time with that woman at the bus stop. But this was different.
He stroked himself and her breasts at the same speed, and pretty soon she had settled into his rhythm as well. Becky was remembering what had happened last night, when she'd been taking care of herself on the sand, and he'd heard her as she came. She was glad he'd heard. She was here with him, doing this, having the best fun she'd had in her life. But there was something else she needed to do...
'Can I have a go with that?' Becky flicked her eyes to Rob's penis. He flicked her right nipple playfully and smiled.
'As long as I can have a go with yours.'
They swapped the genitals they were taking care of, so that Becky was gripping Rob's upright penis and Rob was fingering Becky's pussy. This was getting really exciting for him, and he bet he couldn't have lasted much longer before blasting a load out. He asked Becky if she was getting close: he didn't want to come right then and become disinterested in finishing the job.
'Mmmmhm.' Becky was coming close. She was tingling all over: the feeling of a man's penis in her hand and that man's hand on her own snatch was becoming overwhelming for her. Her heart was beating so fast, and head felt so light, that she thought she might faint. But the pleasure was exquisite for her. She felt a small twitch in her hand that told her Rob was feeling similar. 'You too?'
'Yeah, think I'm gonna come,' he panted. Becky thought she must see this, so, still gripping Rob's throbbing penis, she slid off the sofa onto the floor, right in front of it. She slid a hand under herself as well, because she wanted to come at the same time as him - which she guaranteed was about to happen.
'I'd better do this,' she feigned concern, 'don't want to make a mess of the carpet.' And she opened her mouth and put the end of his cock into her mouth, still stroking. Rob felt, for a moment, that he wanted this feeling to last for ever. She was stroking him with her hand and sucking the end with her warm mouth, flicking her tongue around like it was a most delicious treat. 'Look into my eyes,' she dais urgently. She wanted to share the moment properly and truly with him. They locked eyes. And then it happened: the warm feeling around the end of his cock turned to fire as he felt his balls swell, and Becky felt the shuddering feeling build up in the back of her head and in the deepest recesses of her pussy. She found herself sucking fresh semen from his penis, and screaming and grunting into it as she came herself, grinding her pussy into her hand so hard that the carpet started to make the back of her hand sore.
Rob had tensed his entire body as it started, and as it continued, he growled and grunted and panted as Becky, redfaced and making loud noises in her own throat, sucked and sucked every drop out, and came on his carpet.
Then, it finished. Rob finished first, and Becky let his spent penis drop out of her mouth and screamed loud, with her mouth wide enough for Rob to see she hadn't swallowed his load yet. A moment later, she gasped and calmed down, forcing herself to swallow the warm white goo in her mouth.
They stayed in that position, Rob on the sofa and Becky on the floor, for a minute or two. Then Becky spoke. 'Did you enjoy that?'
'Oh, yeah.'
'What do you want to do now?'
'Just sit here for now. You can smoke if you want, I saw you smoking last night.' Becky gratefully picked up her jeans and pulled out her cigarettes and lighter. Rob pointed to an ashtray on the table by the window and took out a box of cigarettes from down the side of the sofa cushion, and they both lit up. Becky sat down on the sofa next to Rob, and they both sat there and smoked in silence for a few minutes, until Rob broke the silence.
'I never thought anything like this could happen.'
'Like what? Like someone like me coming round and doing what we just did?'
'Neither did I.' Becky looked down. There was a little wet splash on the carpet where she must have squirted slightly. She looked at Rob, and down to his penis, now flaccid again.
Rob looked as well. Apart from feeling more relaxed and content, nothing might have happened. It was definitely out of the ordinary: there had only been that time at the bus stop, about two or three years ago, when he'd masturbated - and came - in front of another person.
Becky's thoughts were similar to Rob's. It was hard for her to believe that she'd just given a man a show, for the first time. The first time she'd seen a man jack off. The first... well, second time, to her knowledge, that a man had done that while thinking of her. Definitely the first time she'd touched a man like that, and make him come. Thinking over it made her feel like...
'D'you want to see some more?'
Rob smiled nervously. 'I'd love to. But I don't think I could join in this time.'
'That's okay. Just watch, and remember for next time.' She slid her body off the sofa back onto the floor, and parted her legs wide so Rob could see what was happening. She was wet, almost flowing, and looked very pink.
As Rob watched her with complete fascination, Becky brought her hand down and touched herself. She got some of her own juices on her hand, and brought her hand up to taste it. It tasted, so Becky always said, like excitement. She wanted to share that feeling.
'Want to taste some girl?' And she raised herself off the carpet and offered her fingers to Rob. He licked, and it tasted exciting. He'd remember that for a long time, he thought.
Becky dropped herself back onto the carpet, and spread her legs wide again. She started masturbating deeply and seriously, and looked deep into Rob's eyes again. She saw longing, and he saw the same. She carried on, but the excitement was beginning to get too much for her. She was, even after only a couple of minutes, getting close to the edge. She felt dizzy with sexual excitement. Then she got an idea. She struggled to her feet and, still looking Rob in the eye, sat on his right leg.
'Give me a hand?'
Rob held his right hand out in front of her face, arm curled around her body.
'Two fingers, in there.' She signaled to her pussy with her eyes. Carefully, he went in again with his index and middle fingers. He started to go in and out, but she stopped him.
'Curl them round, inward, and uncurl them.'
He knew what she meant. He toyed with her G-spot for a minute, while Becky breathed harder and deeper, until he began to feel... something... swell deep inside her. He made to withdraw, but...
'Ahaaaah, don't! Stop! Don't stop! HARDER!' She forcefully ground herself against his hand, and he felt her beginning to pulse. Then a quick contraction and relaxation of her muscles. Then...
'AH! AH! AAAAHAAAHAAAH!' She began to contract and release fast, faster than his spasms when he came. And harder, too, it felt like she was crushing his fingers. Then she screamed again, but this time it was more like a sqeal. She kicked her legs wildly, almost falling off him, and he grabbed her right shoulder with his left hand to steady her. He then got an idea: he pulled her closer to himself, into a sort of embrace, just as the spasms were beginning to subside, and began to kiss her. Immediately, the spasms started again, and she grunted ecstatic surprise into his mouth. The pressure inside her doubled, and she kicked her legs violently again. And then it came: she squirted hot, thick, clear, female sexually-charged fluid into his hand, and she let an animal scream out into Rob's mouth, which almost made him choke.
Then, as always, it finished. She stopped kicking and spasming, and they broke the kiss.
'Wow. Where'd you learn to do that?'
'Erm... well... I live alone, and I've never had a girlfriend before. So... I have a lot of time to spend... researching.' Rob felt embarressed at having to admit that he only knew what he knew about sex because he'd learned it from porn. Becky knew this was what he meant, but she didn't let on.
'Well, if you have anything else to try out, I'll be more than happy to volunteer! But I probably should be going back home now.' She glanced at his clock. 'It's nearly two in the morning. I've got to be up for college tomorrow.'
'Okay. Do you want my phone number? Give me a ring some time?'
'Yeah. My number's...' and the exchanged phone numbers. She then put her clothes back on and walked out of the door, stopping to say 'see you later' to Rob, and jumped on her bike. As she cycled home, nobody would have thought that she'd just had her first taste of sexual attention. Nor that she'd loved it.
When she got home, she locked her bike away and crept into the house, and to her bedroom. She quickly scribbled what had happened into her diary - it was a memory she never wanted to lose - and took off her clothes. She put her bedroom light off and slid into bed, where she slept as well as she had for ages. She needed to tire herself out more often.

Jack White Announces Debut Solo Album Blunderbuss for April 2012 Release
We knew there was a reason Jack White has been so quiet recently. After The White Stripes broke up, the prolific songwriter became deeply invested in Third Man Records, but avid fans had a hunch that there was something else in the works. Today, this feeling was confirmed when Jack White released the first single, "Love Interruption", that will appear on his debut solo album, Blunderbuss.
Blunderbuss is set to be released April 24 on Third Man Records / Columbia. The record was written, recorded, and produced by White at the Third Man Studio in Nashville. For those who simply can't wait until April, White will be releasing a vinyl version of the "Love Interruption" single, coupled with a non-LP B-side "Machine Gun Silhouette" on February 7 via Third Man Records.
"Love Interuption" was made available exclusively to Third Man Records' Vault Members originally, but has since been made available to the public via a free stream on Jack White's website. This has proven to be one of the many perks of being a Vault Member to Third Man Records, so you might as well just sign up now.
Jack White describes Blunderbuss as "an album I couldn't have released until now. I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."
But enough talk, listen to "Love Interruption" for yourself.

Tics are sudden, repetitive, purposeless motor or vocal expressions or movements. In addition to transient tic disorders and chronic motor tic disorders, Tourette syndrome is a common cause of tics in children. The symptoms of Tourette syndrome include having multiple vocal tics and motor tics, although they don't have to have both types of tics at the same time.
Internet Links About Pediatrics ADHD Mental Health Information for Children
Other common motor tics include eye blinking, jerking the head, movements of the eyes, different facial expressions, including grimacing, and nose twitching.
Simple tics are brief and involve only a few muscle groups. At first, children with Tourette syndrome usually have simple tics, but over time these tics can become more complex, becoming longer and involving several different muscle groups or whole words or phrases.
In addition to tics, children with Tourette syndrome are also likely to have emotional and behavior problems or comorbid conditions, have difficulty in school and poor self esteem and they are more likely to have symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (some children with Tourette syndrome and ADHD don't have tics until they begin stimulant therapy for their ADHD, although stimulants do not cause the tics), learning disabilities, mood disorders and oppositional defiant disorder.
Most children with Tourette syndrome do not require medications to control their tics. The medications most commonly used to control tics include Clonidine, Guanfacine, Haloperidol, and Pimozide.
The comorbid conditions that are associated with Tourette syndrome, especially ADHD and LD, can also be managed with medications and modifications at school.
