"Are you blocking my way on purpose?"
It was the shortest sexual exchange I'd ever had, and all it took for these two strangers, both blond, tattooed, and with foreign accents that sounded faintly Russian, to push me backward onto a bed in a room comprised of nothing but beds and people fucking each others' brains out. While the Russian couple proceeded to have their way with me, I caught glimpses of other nearby fornicators, in pairs, in groups, and one lone male Adonis who simply sat on the edge of a bed while a line of women took turns sucking him off.
Going to a sex party was never something I imagined I'd do. Like windsurfing or re-watching all six seasons of Alias, it fell very low on my list of life goals. Then the woman I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with dumped me in order to date men, and I found myself saying yes to a lot of things I never would have otherwise. I also happen to abide by the Writer's Manifesto: A good story is better than a good time.
My two companions for the evening -- I'll call them Steve and Jessica -- and I walked into the unassuming San Francisco Mission District flat on a Saturday evening in early August. We were all virgins to the sex party scene and more than a little nervous. But we did have a few tricks up our sleeves. We were young, we were jaded, and we were more than a little bit tipsy already.
We climbed the creaky stairs to the second floor, where we were screened to make sure we had come dressed appropriately. "Kinky Salon," a monthly sex party and cabaret in San Francisco, has a strict dress code. No jeans, khakis or sportswear. "If you wear something creative you will make more friends," says the Web site.
I did not find myself inspired to befriend the graying gentleman in nothing but a neon thong, who was the first person I saw upon entering. Much to my relief, almost everyone else was clothed. The costumes ran the gamut, per the typical Burning Man mentality that has crept into so many San Francisco events. There were woodland creatures, goth fairies, sexy librarians, boy scouts, court jesters and other Renaissance Faire characters, dommes and subs being led around on chains, steam punks, and so on. Elaborate costuming didn't make very much sense to me at a sex party. Why would you bother with the frilly things and the many layers and the tights if you were just going to take them off anyway? But despite my uninspiring attire, I was still able to "make friends" at the BYOB bar, which is where we went immediately.
As soon as we poured our first drinks, a Kinky Salon volunteer rounded up all the men and took them into a separate room to talk about etiquette, and how to not be douches, or so Steve reported back to me when the lecture was over. The first guy I met was also a volunteer, and he was dressed kind of like Aladdin. Since I was nervous, I immediately made a sex joke, which I assumed would be well received at a sex party, but which instead made him laugh anxiously and then start rubbing my thigh. This was oddly my first, "Oh, I'm at a sex party!" moment. Before then it was just an ornate house party.
As a woman, you expect to be hit on at bars, but I was wholly unprepared for two minutes of awkward small talk leading so quickly to first base. It made me really uncomfortable, so I made an excuse, grabbed Jessica, and together we took a tour of the house. In addition to the Room of Beds, and the bar/lounge, there was also a dance floor, an enclosed patio for smokers, and a play room, which didn't really have much equipment, save for a spanking bench. "The place was intoxicating, the people were," Jessica noted, somewhat wistfully. "And the vibe really was friendly and kind and generous, but it was also emotionally overwhelming."

INDIANAPOLIS - JANUARY 16: Ray Lewis #52 of the Baltimore Ravens looks on from the bench in the third quarter against the of the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Lucas Oli Stadium on January 16, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
The Baltimore Ravens haven't completely abandoned hope of having Ray Lewis back in uniform this season. Lewis tore his right triceps in Sunday's game against Dallas and was scheduled to undergo surgery on Wednesday. Although coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the 37-year-old linebacker is out for the year, the Ravens placed Lewis on injured reserve with the ''designated to return'' tag. Wednesday's move makes Lewis eligible to return in six weeks. He does not count against the 53-man roster. ''We have no idea whether that time frame has anything to do with the injury, but there's an opportunity and we're going to keep the door open,'' Harbaugh said. ''We'll just see where that goes moving forward.'' The loss of Lewis coincides with the return of linebacker Terrell Suggs, the 2011 NFL defensive player of the year. Suggs practiced Wednesday for the first time this season after missing months with a torn righ...

This Summer's Hottest Show
Dr. John has all the ingredients to be this year's J. R. Ewing
Lead characters Ralph and Brian Roberts come on strong in the summer series pilot episode, cast as the low-key, likable heroes hell-bent on wresting control of the nation's largest cable operating company from a seemingly aging and beleaguered former good-guy, C. Michael Armstrong.
The first installment has the Robertses, owners of the third-largest cable company, making a bold, sudden offer to purchase the cable assets of the global telecom powerhouse for roughly $50 billion in Comcast stock. To gain maximum exposure, the Robertses announce their proposal through the media after cordial but fruitless talks between the two companies break down.
The protagonists proclaim that their offer to purchase AT&T's 16 million cable customers will be a boon to AT&T shareholders. They promise to do business "their way," which happens to be wildly more profitable than Armstrong's method.
Armstrong is clearly under attack in Episode 1, but refuses to give in. Surrounding himself with powerful allies and board members, he proclaims the Comcast takeover bid "inadequate." Rumors and speculation lead the viewer to believe there are other, more lucrative, offers in the making.
Malone, the former chief of TCI and Armstrong's nemesis, immediately distances himself from Armstrong by resigning his board seat. But the villainous Dr. John has all the ingredients to be the dastardly devil–sort of this year's version of J.R. Ewing.
Armstrong and Roberts have crossed paths before–with Armstrong coming out on top. He sabotaged Comcast's attempted purchase of coveted MediaOne by outbidding the Roberts family at the eleventh hour. To keep things civil, Armstrong threw Roberts some cash and a few hundred thousand subscribers, but that did little to assuage the humiliation.
We also learn how Armstrong, hailed as a business hero while at the helm of Hughes' DirecTV unit, was punished by investors who realized he overpaid TCI in his zeal to build the world's ultimate converged company. The loss of confidence forced him to change strategy mid-stream and break the company into pieces to maximize shareholder value.
But that singular event put Armstrong–and AT&T–in play. By proclaiming that the Broadband unit is more valuable when broken off, he exposes it to all potential suitors. It could be the most critical mistake of his tenure–and might lead to his own horrific downfall.
The scriptwriters are keeping the final scenes a closely guarded secret. Insiders speculate that Malone is secretly planning a triumphant return to the helm. Other scenarios and plot spins suggest there are roles for the likes of Amos Hostetter or Leo Hindery in some sort of "Rat Pack" reunion. This one's sure to keep viewers riveted to their seats throughout the summer.

Former Portsmouth school worker sentenced for sexually assaulting student
Kenneth Kimber, 35, of Portsmouth was sentenced 3 to 8 years in state prison on Thursday for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Kimber was a Portsmouth school employee at the time of his arrest. (James Kimble/Union Leader Correspondent)
Judge Marguerite Wageling told Kenneth Kimber, 35, of Portsmouth during his sentencing hearing Thursday in Rockingham County Superior Court that he was lucky to dodge a longer stretch in prison.
Kimber pleaded guilty on Oct. 17 to single counts of felonious sexual assault, indecent exposure and two counts of prohibited uses of a computer.
He began communicating with the girl through Facebook between Feb. 3 and Feb. 11, and sent the girl a picture of his genitals with an explicit message before picking her up and driving her to his apartment for sex, according to prosecutors.
Assistant County Attorney Patricia Conway said that if Kimber had been convicted at trial, "the state would be asking for a lot more than three to 8 (years) stand committed."
Prosecutors negotiated a plea deal to spare the victim, who they say has been "affected tremendously" by Kimber's actions.
Kimber worked for the Portsmouth school district's information technology department and coached a boy's basketball team at Noble High School in Berwick, Maine, when he was arrested by Portsmouth police.
New Hampshire and Maine school officials promptly fired him after he was charged.
The girl's mother told Wageling during Thursday's hearing how Kimber's actions led her daughter to attempt suicide multiple times, and miss school because she was being harassed there.
Kimber could have faced up to 3 ½ to 7 years in prison on each of the charges had he been convicted at trial.

I just found out more about Valentine. His father was James Dervin born 1825 in Ireland. He appears in the 1861 UK census in Wednesbury, Staffordshire, England. He married Philomena Arnold from Staffordshire and Had children Valentine (1862), Michael (1863), Joseph (1865), and Winnifred (1868). They moved to New York City around 1868.
Philomena must have died between 1879 and 1877, because in the 1880 census James is married to a Sarah Murphy with children of her own.

Skull BarrierTalk0
this wiki
|Mega Man using Skull Barrier.
Skull Barrier (スカルバリアー Sukaru Bariā?) is Skull Man's Special Weapon. It creates a skull-shaped energy shield around the user, protecting him from attacks. Unlike the Leaf Shield, Mega Man can walk around while the shield is active, but it cannot be thrown.
Video game appearances
In Mega Man 4, Skull Barrier automatically shuts off when it takes a hit, but it can stand against a maximum of three projectiles in Mega Man III, disappearing if it hits an enemy or the projectile is too strong to hold up against. In both games it is Dive Man's weakness.
Skull Barrier also appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U as one of the custom variations of Leaf Shield. While surrounding Mega Man, all it does is push nearby opponents, only causing damage when thrown. It is able to reflect projectiles.
Damage Data Chart
Known damage values in units for Mega Man 4.
- For Tako Trash, Skull Barrier doesn't harm him, but after the player hits him with Drill Bomb, it will do 1 unit of damage to him.
Activating the Skull Barrier in Mega Man 4 and Mega Man III uses 2 weapon energy units. With a full weapon energy gauge, it can be activated 14 times in Mega Man 4 and 10 times in Mega Man III.
Other media
Only Skull Man is seen using Skull Barrier in other media. It is the only weapon from the eight bosses that isn't used by Mega Man in the Rockman 4 manga, and one of the two weapons he doesn't use in the Rockman World 3 manga.
In Mega Man Megamix, Skull Man uses it by scattering "Skull Barrier bits" from his shoulders in an electromagnetic field that he produces himself. By blocking any and all incoming attacks, the Skull Barrier allows him to attack without having to worry about avoiding or taking damage himself. Its main drawback is that the user's mobility is restricted while the barrier is in effect.

Anne Frank grows up to become Europe's equivalent of Martin Luther King Jr.By the 1960s, she's become a popular, respected writer, and she's one of the world's most prominent civil rights activist fighting for the rights of Europe's oppressed Jews, passively resisting antisemitic authorities with a series of peaceful sit-ins, protest marches, and bus boycotts. By the 1970s, she's won the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts. She eventually dies quietly, surrounded by her loving family, sometime around 2010.
Martin Luther King Jr. becomes America's equivalent of Elie WieselAs a teenager, he survives a hellish stay in Camp Determination, and he writes a book about it as an adult. In subsequent decades, his book is used to educate the world about the horrors of the Population Reduction, and King becomes one of the world's foremost human rights activists, swearing to devote his life to speaking out against genocide and government oppression.
The Drakaverse is Alternate History written in Timeline-191It's really in-universe science fiction from Timeline-191, written in the 1980's of that timeline and illustrating what might have happened if the Confederacy lost the War of Seccession and was exiled to South Africa. Although the official point of departure of the Drakaverse is during the American Revolution, the true horror of the Draka doesn't get turned Up to Eleven until after the Confederates show up (before then it's indistinguishable from what the Great Powers of the 19th century were doing in real life). The story is basically "What if the Confederates had had an entire resource-rich continent to work with, rather than just the American South?"

Cardinals consider leaving Flagstaff training site
The Arizona Cardinals could be moving from Flagstaff, after a quarter-century of training there.
The team has issued a request to Glendale on proposals to host training camp beginning in summer 2013.
Julie Frisoni with the City of Glendale said they have until Friday to give the team a plan.
"The Cardinals have had a sellout every game since they moved to their new stadium in Glendale in 2006," said Frisoni. "Certainly if it makes sense to host the training camp as well, it's something that we would definitely want to look into."
Members of the Glendale City Council are meeting this afternoon to discuss the possible move. Frisoni said cost is the top priority.
"We obviously have to look at all the benefits that hosting an event of this magnitude would bring."
Glendale is facing big budget issues after the council approved a $300 million deal to keep the Coyotes. The city will have to cut almost $20 million and 200 jobs within the next five years.
Frisoni said Glendale isn't the only Valley city on the Cardinals' list, in addition to the possibility the team could remain in Flagstaff.

December 20, 2012
Any time you need to have surgery to treat cancer, it's serious business, and can be a scary proposition. But a new technique at the University of Virginia is allowing doctors to treat patients quickly, and with much less pain.
Dr. Benjamin Kozower sits at the operating console controlling the Da Vinci surgical robot. the $2.5 million machine gives him a steady hand, and unprecedented sight during a procedure.
"The advantage of the system is that the visualization is tremendous, it's magnified ten times so we can really see very clearly, and the four arms {male sure} that I have have no tremor, so delicate things it helps you do it precisely," said Dr. Kozower.
This type of surgery has been around for about 10 years, but in the last two months, Dr. Kozower began using it to operate on different types of cancer.
"We've been doing the full spectrum: lung cancer operations, esophageal operations, benign procedures and ecchlasia," he said.
The precision is unmatched.
"We've been doing the surgery for 10 years, but I think this will be able to do the procedure more precisely, and it will allow me to do it without the big incision," he added.
That's why it's getting such great results. Doctors only need to make a small incision and put it ports for the robot, as opposed to a traditional procedure that, he says, hurts.
"You can put a lot of pressure on incisions between the ribs, and we don't think about that, but if you are doing an operation for one or two hours and you are torquing on the ribs, it hurts," Dr. Kozower said. "One of the nice things about this system is you have no pressure on the ribs."
Without that pressure, you don't get the pain. It speeds up recovery time, and gets people home from the hospital faster.

Hello, my friends and i were planning to brew some mead, and our biggest problem is where to store it! Can it be stored in an room containing the water heater during the fermentation,, because it get warm in there, about 24 degrees celciys maybe? So a bit over the 70 farenheit ive heard about. Dont have a cellar so thats not an option, any tips and tricks are highly appreciated!
A lower temperature would be better. What size batch are you making? Is there a room in the house that stays cooler than the others?
Walmart is about the only reason for open or concealed carry that I can get behind. -Randar
If you're making it with your friends, your place shouldn't be the only option, should it?
This isn't a beer belly, It's a fuel tank for a love machine.
Choose a yeast where such issues are less of a problem. I understand that the only one that is particularly picky with it's temps is D47, which needs to ferment at less than 70F/21C to prevent fusels being produced.
Something like K1V, which has a very wide temperature range, but the 20 to 25 C range would be right in the middle, so probably of little effect on the end product.....
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
You could lower the temperature inside the fermentation vessel doing this:
Put the carboy (or whatever you are using) inside a water tub with cool water. Wrap the carboy in a large enough t-shirt or towel or something that wicks up the water from the tub it stands in. Check everyday to make sure the water hasn't evaporated and fill up as needed. Use some starsan or other stuff in the water to prevent growth of microorganisms or other bugs.
Should take the temperature down a couple of notches.
Well, i dont have any other room to put it really, but i could vave it at a friends house i guess, the reason why i was having to store it was that i came up with the idea sort of. The batch is only going to be 5L (1 1/4 gallon) and were gonna store it in coke bottles, but ive heard from some people that glass is the way to go, but the kind of vessels that you usually asoiate with brewing can be found where i live... Only 33L brewing buckets...
Thanks for the feedback!!

How to Roast a Chicken
How to Roast a Chicken
A whole bird, seasoned with just salt and pepper and maybe some lemon halves, undergoes an alchemy in a hot oven, emerging crispy, bronzed, and much more delicious than you'd expect—with just 5 minutes or so of effort. But don't stop there: The mild flavor of chicken is compatible with almost any seasoning. Experiment with your favorite herbs, spices, and sauces, using these variations as a guideline. And for a complete meal, try making an edible "roasting rack" for the chicken to sit and cook on, using your choice of sliced onions, fennel, carrots, celery, and potatoes.

What You'll Need:
1 whole chicken (3 to 4 lb), organic if possible, patted dry and giblets removed
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 lemons, halved (optional)
How to Make It:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F, with a rack in the lower third. Put a large ovenproof skillet in the oven. While the skillet heats up, trim the excess fat from the chicken. Rub the outside of the bird with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place lemon halves, if using, in the cavity.
2. When the pan is scorching hot, 10 or 15 minutes later, carefully put the chicken in the pan, breast side up. Roast until the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 60 minutes.
3. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Tip the pan slightly to let any juices from the bird's cavity flow into the pan, and transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Let the pan juices sit for 5 minutes; use a spoon to skim off some of the excess fat. Cut up the bird and serve it with warm pan juices.

Customize It
Savory Herb
Put a few sprigs of fresh herbs, like rosemary, thyme, or parsley, in the cavity before roasting. Or sprinkle up to a teaspoon of dried or minced fresh herbs, like thyme or oregano, on the skin.
Customize It
Make a quick pan sauce: After you skim the fat from the pan juices, stir in a spoonful (or more) of coarse or smooth mustard, or balsamic or sherry vinegar; use a little water or wine to adjust the consistency.

Customize It
Before roasting the chicken, gently smear the skin with white miso or minced garlic, or separate the skin from the meat with your fingers and rub the seasoning under the skin.
Customize It
Use vegetable oil instead of olive oil to coat the chicken before roasting, and stir a dash of soy sauce and dark sesame oil into the pan juices after the chicken comes out of the oven.
BBQ Sandwich
Saute sliced onions in some olive oil until they're golden brown, and then toss in shredded chicken and just enough good barbecue sauce to coat lightly. Cook, stirring, until heated through. Serve on a roll or in a wrap with shredded lettuce or shredded cabbage, or coleslaw if you prefer.

Tortilla Soup
Pull the meat from the bones and cut it into bite-sized pieces. In a large pot, cover the carcass with water; add an unpeeled, halved onion and a few bay leaves, and simmer it for 30 minutes. Strain the broth, add chicken, and serve with mild feta, tortilla chips, and chopped tomato, radishes, and avocado.
Curried Chicken Salad
Mix shredded chicken with a combination of mayo, plain yogurt, chopped cilantro, and chopped red onion, seasoned with a dash of curry powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in some cashews and diced apples if you like. Serve on crackers or bread with any kind of chutney.
Chicken Quesadilla
Stir together shredded chicken, grated cheese, and chopped red onion; add chili powder to taste. Spread the mixture between two flour or corn tortillas. Brush with olive oil and grill, broil, or pan-fry, turning once. Cut into triangles and serve with lime wedges.

The room was clean, breakfast area was well kept.
Dance club next door, too close to the road, lots of road noise.
The room was obviously occupied by smokers. Being a non smoker I was very surprised that there are still hotels that allow smoking in rooms. I travel a lot and this is the first hotel in the last two years that I cam across this. Everything else was good. I would not recommend for business travel due to the smoking policy.
We called for assistance and they responded promptly. Very friendly staff.
Cost and location
No amenities like (1) iron and ironing board, (2) no closets
This was the best budget priced motel we have ever stayed in! Our room (#50) was very clean, the bathroom looked new with a tile floor, clean cloth shower curtain, a shower head with good pressure and plenty of hot water. The property grounds are well maintained, with easy access and plenty of free parking. The pool is big enough for swimming laps and children working off energy, with plenty of room for sunbathing and relaxing.
It was convenient, clean, and a good price
I could not connect to wifi
all was positive ,clean, comfortable,quiet
nothing to complain about
Location and staff was friendly.
The shower was poor.
Clean, extra touches in the rooms, and great staff. They offer a very good price for the rooms (which I will take advantage of next time). I will stay there on a return visit.
There was nothing that I really did not like except for the fact that Booking.com charged several dollars more than the advertised price of this location. Unfortunately, I did not see the sign until after I had checked in. Next time, I will call Danville North to reserve a room.
The rooms were clean, great price for the money.
The sidewalks needed sweeping and the outside appearance does not reflect cleanliness and comforts of the inside.
Staff very friendly and helpful
Being woke up at 4AM by rowdy guest? ? Directions from mapquest 28B very confusing. Flustered when finally arrived as wedding was at 6 and thought we would be late..directions to track thru Audron Rd to 360E lot easier

Stop the killing of South African shack dwellers
24 November 2014, Latest news
This weekend hundreds of international supporters gathered in London, New York, Chicago and Budapest to demonstrate against the killing of housing activists in South Africa. During the past 18 months, three housing activists from the shack dweller movement Abahlali baseMjondolo, a long standing partner of the British anti-poverty charity War on Want, have been assassinated. To date not a single person has been held responsible for any of these deaths. In London, War on Want, together with the Abahlali baseMjondolo UK Collective, have initiated a series of solidarity actions, including a letter to the High Commissioner of South Africa (www.waronwant.org/stopthekilling) that call for the right of people to engage in activism that is free of repression, a formal inquiry into the murders, and peaceful dialogue between housing activists and local, national and provincial authorities. The signed petition will be handed in at South Africa House in London, later this month.Add Comment
Exposed: Political heavyweights undermining Bangladesh Safety Accord
14 November 2014, Latest news
With workers about to strike at thousands of Walmart stores across the US, the political heavy-weights behind Walmart and GAP's attempts to discredit the Bangladesh Safety Accord have been revealed.
An American news source has revealed that the lobbyists Albright Stonebridge were behind efforts to push the much weaker Bangladesh Safety Alliance to US politicians. Madeleine Albright, the former US Secretary of State, is chair of Albright Stonebridge Group which describes itself as "strategic advisory and commercial diplomacy firm". The Accord and the Alliance were both a reaction to the Rana Plaza disaster where over 1100 garment workers died spurring hundreds of thousands of people to take action in outrage.Add Comment
War on Want Celebrates International Street Vendors Day
14 November 2014, Latest news
Across the globe, street vendors and their organisations will be marking International Street Vendors Day with celebrations and calls for greater recognition and rights for informal traders. The day was first set aside in 2012 by international street vendor organisation, StreetNet, as a day of recognition for the contribution made by street vendors to national development and awareness raising.
War on Want has been supporting street vendor representative organisations in Zambia and Kenya for many years. Through its long standing partnership with the Alliance of Zambian Informal Economy Associations (AZIEA) and the Kenyan National Alliance of Street Vendors and International Traders (KENASVIT) there have been substantial gains made for informal traders in both countries.

Life or death over seeds – a worldwide seed war is now raging
23 October 2014, Latest news
Last week hundreds of food lovers, food growers, food justice campaigners, artists, researchers gathered to participate in events and activities organised throughout the UK as part of the Food Sovereignty month. The focus this year was on the source that feeds us all: the seed.
Seed is life. Almost all the food we eat started as a seed. Control over seed is control over the first link in the food chain, but also beyond the whole food system to biodiversity and therefore life itself.
For centuries farmers have selectively bred plants by seeking out the seeds of the plants with the most desirable characteristics. These natural seeds planted year on year become highly adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, and represent the great biodiversity our planet enjoyed until…..Add Comment

No to MIPIM Yes to Right to the City
15 October 2014, Latest news
War on Want supports the call by housing and trade union activists to say "No to MIPIM". MIPIM gathers the most influential international property players from all sectors for 4 days of networking, learning and transactions. MIPIM infringes on the people's rights to the city as it takes away democratic access to the city by promoting housing and land use that is privatised and profit-driven for the benefit of the richest 1%, whilst destroying communities and keeping millions in poverty. MIPIM is targeted at around 20,000 bankers, investors, property developers, estate agents, landlords and politicians all of whom are seeking to promote private rents of up to 80% of the market rate. Their push towards global corporate hotel, tourism and leisure operations will see local businesses destroyed and jobs lost. MIPIM also has on its agenda the privatisation of health care in the UK.
War on Want supports the European Action Coalition for the Right to Housing and the City; the Radical Housing Network; housing activist groups and trade unions' calls for housing justice. War on Want believes that all people have a right the city. This right includes people's right to reclaim, use, shape and remake our urban surroundings. The right to the city is people's rights to live and work in the city. It is about democratic control over the city, with the right to access, occupy and use urban space.Add Comment
Fury over trade deals rises
09 October 2014, Press releases
Many people will take to the streets around Britain on Saturday as the public speak out against the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership in towns and cities across Europe.
The charity War on Want warns that TTIP would cost at least one million jobs between the EU and US and prevent any future UK government repealing the Health and Social Care Act and bringing the NHS back into public hands.
Campaigners from the charity will join a London demonstration, while many other anti-TTIP activists stage protests elsewhere in Britain, ranging far and wide, from Edinburgh north of the border to Brighton on England's south coast.
Tens of thousands of people, with hundreds of organisations in 21 European countries, will oppose the deal.Add Comment

Strasburg's upcoming schedule
Jul 1, 2010, 9:20 PM EST
Stephen Strasburg will make two more starts before the All-Star break: Saturday against the Mets, then Friday, July 9 against the Giants. What happens after that remains a mystery.
Will Strasburg pitch in Anaheim against the American League All-Stars on July 13? If so, will it be because Charlie Manuel selected him for the National League roster or because fans got the chance to pick him as part of the "Last Man" vote?
And then, when will the rookie phenom pitch coming out of the break?
Here's what we know for now: Strasburg makes his sixth career start Saturday against New York (4 p.m. on Fox). On Sunday, All-Star rosters will be announced, so we'll learn whether Manuel has included the 21-year-old on his pitching staff.
Jim Riggleman has suggested all along he doesn't think it would be appropriate for Strasburg to make the squad, considering his lack of time in the majors. Today, though, the manager did acknowledge an understanding why Manuel might be justified in doing it.
"There are some consequences of winning or losing the game now that weren't there before," Riggleman said. "It's not just the honor of being there. There's an importance to winning the game now: So your league gets home-field advantage in the World Series. …
"My initial sentiments are that people who have been here the whole time should get that recognition. But if you've done some great things, and winning the game is important, then you can make a caseRead more »

"Regardless, Strasburg will get one extra day of rest next week before returning to pitch June 9 against the Giants"11 months of rest will do wonders for your arm
- Cwj - Jul 1, 2010 at 10:45 PM
Based on the opinions of statisticians, and knowledgeable fans of other teams on other sites, I would not at all be surprised if he's voted in as the "Last Man".
- Waddu eye no - Jul 1, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Marty-You're a wise ass. I like that in a person.
- Cwj - Jul 1, 2010 at 11:45 PM
Isn't it kinda cool that our team, the Washington Nationals, have such an ace as Strasburg? I die with every Nats loss, but when he pitches I have this weird feeling I'm watching one of the best.

After Hot 97 radio veteran Mister Cee made headlines for a public lewdness arrest last week, the alleged male prostitute caught with him has come out to set the record straight.
According to Cee's accomplice, Brooklyn aka Pink Lady, the police report is not true.
"I kinda just wanted to set the record straight and let everybody know that nothing, indeed, happened in that car," Brooklyn said in a self recorded video. "I feel like it's an Internet blog that got totally out of hand. A lot of things I read are just totally not true about me and my character. I'm not a transsexual, I'm a drag queen…I feel like the media in a whole has made me out to be this person, I feel just to get at him for some reason or to get a story. It's definitely not true. I'm definitely not a prostitute. I'm not, in any way, shape or form. I don't do things like that. I don't have sex for money. I don't need to have sex for money. I make enough money on my own…I feel like people, nowadays, will do anything and everything for money. This whole thing I feel like just a big a** entertainment scheme. I don't understand why I was brought into it." (YouTube)
Last week, a police report on Cee's arrest hit the Internet.
Lebrun, known as "Mister Cee" on Hot 97, was nabbed along with Lawrence Campbell, 20, according to a criminal complaint sworn by Officer Lindsay Agard. The cop reported spotting Campbell (who used the name "Brooke-Lynn Pinklady" on his just-deleted Facebook page) "manipulating" Lebrun's "exposed, naked, and erect penis" with his "mouth and lips in an up-and-down motion consistent with oral sex." The duo was collared March 30 in a car parked on Manhattan's far West Side, two blocks from the Holland Tunnel. (The Smoking Gun)
Following the news, rap star 50 Cent spoke on Cee's publicized situation.
"It's only entertaining because he means that much to hip-hop culture and his association to it," 50 told Hot 97 personality Miss Info. "I recognize Mister Cee as the guy who introduced us to 50. So he means that much to the culture. A lot of the kids who hear the radio don't hear him the same way. I've played my albums for Mister Cee. Every album before it came out to see what he thought. When this type of stuff happens, you keep pushing…They can say what they want about it, how about if you say, 'I'm Rick James, b*tch.' [laughs] How about if you say I don't care? Who is to judge you other when there is an audience that's probably one of the strongest audiences if you look at Lady Gaga's career that says that that's fine. If you say it's not fine, then you're gonna get attacked. You're gonna write apology notes." (Celebrity Drama)
Hot 97's Miss Info explained her decision to avoid addressing Cee's case.
Now in the case of Mr. Cee's "scandalous" arrest, it's more than just not caring enough about the story to include it. Obviously. So that's not the reason for the "silent treatment." But, aside from having this blog, I am also part of a company. And within that company, there is a family atmosphere. Do some of you have rules at your jobs? Or am I the only one who has to follow guidelines from higher ups? Sometimes guidelines are frustrating. But as long as I am not asked to cover up anything or misrepresent something, I understand when I need to wait for official statement or follow a company lead. In this particular case, I also don't mind, because I fully admit that I know and like Mr. Cee. So I want confirming details (which I think the Smoking Gun post has) and ideally a direct response. There is no direct response from Mr. Cee. But he knows what 50 and I discussed, and knows that I will be publishing it. (Miss Info TV)
Mister Cee is scheduled to appear in court on June 1st.
