Memorial Day has just passed, it's fitting to take a look at one of the oldest facilities in the United States for housing soldiers-Jackson Barracks, in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans on St. Claude Avenue. It's been through a lot since 1833-hell and high water, literally. The old building could tell us some stories about all the military heroes, known and unknown, who served their country there, including some latter-day heroes who helped get New Orleanians out of harm's way during Hurricane Katrina. You can visit the Jackson Barracks Military Museum and see military artifacts dating back 200 years. That trip is easily combined with a visit to the Chalmette Battlefield, part of the Jean Lafitte National Park and Preserve, where you can see the site of the legendary Battle of New Orleans, fought January 8, 1815.
Jackson Barracks, originally known as New Orleans Barracks, was built after the War of 1812. The first militia, consisting of four infantry companies, were housed there in 1837. Built on the river, the original facility had a storehouse, four three-story guard towers, and a prison. It had its own levee, road, railroad, and trolley car tracks. Ulysses S. Grant, George B. McClellan, Robert E. Lee, P. G. T. Beauregard and J.E.B. Stuart, were all in these Barracks before the Civil War, although not all at once. After the Mexican-American War, it became the earliest Public Service Hospital for soldiers in the nation in 1849.

"We used WPD for our wedding invitations and received lots of compliments. So it was an easy decision to use them for all our other paper needs. The menu looked very elegant in the Pearl Shimmer addition and the font went perfect with our romantic theme. Unfortunately, I made an error on the back of the menu and WPD graciously and quickly offered to reprint the correct version at no additional cost. They even rushed the order. I love working with WPD!"
"We were very happy with the menus. We selected the purple flowers and the shimmer paper. Good quality, and we received many compliments at the reception regarding the menus."
"The design was beautiful.. Have received many compliments. The paper quality was excellent as we did opt for the upgraded paper. The customer service was wonderful.. They were very patient and very helpful. The turn around time was incredible. We received the finish product very quickly. Would highly recommend your company."
"We LOVE this design. Orchids are my favorite flower and happens to be the first flower my husband ever gave to me. We will most likely be using this set for our wedding. The pearly shine is beautiful, however, one of my wedding colors is champagne and it will not match, so we will be using the product without the pearl overcoat because they are just as beautiful without it!"
"Couldn't have been any happier !!! Just perfect !!! Adding a picture on the back really makes the menus just perfect !!!"

For 18 points, you can have either of these 2 in your squad:
Mauler Mithel (MM) with Veteran Instincts
Alpha Squadron (AS) Pilot
MM will be a Skill Level 9, vs a Skill 1 AS. Which means MM will shoot before or simultaneously with your opponent's squad, whereas the AS will have to survive longer in order to attack.
And MM will get 4 dice at Range 1, but 2 dice at 2 and 3, whereas the AS will also have 4 at Range 1, but 3 dice at 2 and 3. And if MM is at Range 1 to use his ability, he will likely be at Range 1 for your opponent as well, but being Level 9 he'll get his shot off before getting attacked.
And the AS has the Boost action, where MM doesn't.
MM will maneuver last, with possibility of losing an action, where the AS will move first and can block, and the Boost action comes in quite handy for blocking.
It's an interesting conundrum, so i figured I'd toss the question out to the community and see what people think. I think I know my answer, but I want to see what others think.

Played many different games against this deck now trying to find a way to counter it. As long as the dark side is on a win timer, I don't think I can come up with anything to hinder it.
The deck is below:
28 x2
26 x2
32 x2
Basically, lots of cheap units to slow down the light side player; tons of resource generation; orbital bombardment to turn cheap units into objective killers; the whole deck is fodder with plenty of force icons, so edge wins more often than not, even on defense; card drawing; enhancement destruction; easy force balance achievement. Also, did I mention 2x superlaser, just in case they're having a hard time nabbing those objectives with their cheap blockers?
I've tried a mains deck for raw firepower, tried a starfighter deck to counter their swarm, tried a cheap jedi unit deck. Probably got the closest with han solo and some shielder units, but still got overwhelmed at turn 4.
Last thing I tried was a direct counter deck using A New Hope, princess leia, and admiral ackbar (more to it than that, but that's the gist of it).
Any thoughts/suggestions on countering this powerful dark side deck?

Suspect in ecoterrorism fires to be arraigned
Jan 11, 2013 | 1 Comment
By JEFF BARNARD
Of the Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — A woman who spent a decade as a fugitive in the largest ecoterrorism investigation in U.S. history is due in federal court in Oregon on conspiracy and arson charges.
Rebecca Rubin, 39, a Canadian citizen, was to be arraigned Friday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Eugene.
A federal indictment accuses Rubin of being a member of cells of the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front known as The Family based in Eugene.
Investigators blame the cells for 20 fires across the West from 1996 to 2001 that did $40 million damage.
Among the group's targets were a ski resort in Colorado, wild horse corrals in Oregon and Northern California, and lumber mills and U.S. Forest Service offices in Oregon.
Rubin turned herself in at the Canadian border with Washington last November. Two others indicted in the case remain at large. Ten people pleaded guilty in 2007 to conspiracy and arson charges and were sentenced to prison.
Rubin is specifically charged with helping set fire to buildings at the Vail ski resort to prevent expansion into habitat for the threatened Canada lynx, and to U.S. Bureau of Land Management corrals in Eastern Oregon and Northern California holding wild horses rounded up from federal rangelands.
She also is accused of trying to set fire to a lumber mill office in Medford, Ore.
Rubin is not specifically charged with terrorism, but the indictment alleges she and other members of The Family tried to influence businesses and the government and tried to retaliate against the government.
At the time of the fires, the FBI characterized the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front as the top domestic terrorism threats in the nation.
The Family disbanded in 2001, but a federal task force known as Operation Backfire used an informant to pursue them.
By the time they were sentenced, members of The Family expressed regret and frustration that after all their hardships, they had accomplished practically nothing.
A horse slaughterhouse in Redmond, Ore., was never rebuilt, but the ski resort and ranger stations were rebuilt, timber companies stayed in business, and wild horses were still rounded up and removed from federal lands.

"By the time they were sentenced, members of The Family expressed regret and frustration that after all their hardships, they had accomplished practically nothing."
I don't know about that. I think they decided it wasn't the best approach. A few of them caved to testify against each other, others like Craig never was charged and for testimony and helped through a federal petition was given a new identity.
I believe that allowing government to set the rules is never a good idea. We should be making the rules that they obey, not the other way around. Although I question the tactics and some cause of ELF, I can't help to feel those that let us down the most are the wealthy and their puppets called government. Not these people.. Love ya Lace.. RG.

Gambling on Changing the Subject
Promoters of a "gaming getaway" in Wood Village have launched their TV campaign with ads that make the facility seem like a giant theme park instead of a gambling hall.
Called The Grange (more on that in a minute), the facility would include a 4-star hotel, fine eateries, rooftop bar, movie theater, bowling alley and a family-friendly water park. But at the core of this "new Oregon destination" is a casino.
If it was just a destination with an outdoor plaza, performance venue and farmers' market, there would be no need for a pair of ballot measures to modify the Oregon Constitution to permit a private casino subject to a statewide vote and specifically approve a casino in Wood Village. But Measures 82 and 83 are definitely on the November ballot.
You could speculate the ads omit mention of gambling because polling shows that is a losing argument. However, the only way these measures survive is if Oregon voters like the idea of having more gambling in more places and operated by more than Indian tribes. The emphasis on a cool destination may have more to do with combating push-back from hundreds of taverns and small businesses that rely on state-sponsored video lottery to attract customers.
Of course, the people who drive RVs or ride in buses to Indian casinos or go short distances to the nearest video lottery machine may not be the demographic targeted by The Grange. The TV ads suggest it wants to lure more affluent customers who can gamble in between a steaming latte and a fancy dinner, while the kids splash in a pool or take in a movie.
Whatever you think about gambling or this proposed casino, you have to admit it's a game try at deflecting the conversation to something positive — turning an eyesore into an attraction, a $300 million LEED-certified construction project, more tax revenue and a convenient new place to go. This could be a smart ploy in helping to define The Grange in positive terms before opponents take their turn in defining it as an unwanted expansion of gambling that will hurt rural communities with existing casinos and hundreds of small businesses statewide that are dependent on video lottery.

Just think about what it used to be like in pre-Internet days, when the bars were just about your only option of meeting other gay people. That's the environment in which I started coming out. Not fun.
What gets me is that it's not uncommon for a gay guy to have a family with a man as his spouse. Granted, he may not go about it in the "traditional" way, but I know of several gay couples who have adopted children. There are ways to do it and still be true to yourself. And I still can't understand why now, in this modern day and age when so many people are out in open about who they are, so many gay guys still marry women even though they already know they're gay (Gareth Thomas, for example) and then end up with all the drama of the breakups and broken hearts when they decide to come out down the road. I could never have done that to a woman. I can't "fake" something like that. It goes against everything I stand for and hold sacred.
I've always KNOWN I was Gay since I realized it was more Fun, for me, to 'Play' with my 'boy' friends, than it was with my 'girl' friends. I think I was maybe 5, or 6, when I began getting Naked with anyone who also wanted to show me 'theirs'.
My teens, and twenties, coincided with the 60's and 70's. "Free Love", "Flower Power", and all of that Fun stuff. And, though it was a time of "Freedom", it was also more socially restrictive, than things are now, when it came to Gay 'stuff'.
SO ... up until I was 30, or so, there were a LOT of women in my life (with a few guys, here and there). And, though I came close to actually marrying about 6 of "my girls", I always (thankfully) KNEW better than to go through with it, for Them AND Me.
Yes, I have had more than my 'fair' share of FUN! And, my major point is, FUCK the Damned Labels! Why try to cram yourself, or anyone else, into a neatly defined Box? LIFE is NOT "Black and White"! It's really all about massive shades of Grey!
Yes! I'm a 'core' Gay Guy, butt I've also been a SEXUAL Being in the Full Range of that term.
Do NOT limit all of the possibilities that is You! We're not 'Here' for a very long time! Why pass up ALL of the experiences that are available to us? Follow your Heart at any given time, and (literally) 'Screw' all the preconceptions/expectations/'limits', and LIVE Your LIFE to it Fullest!
And, Yeah! ... no matter what ...
Keep smilin'!!
WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
Thanx Chaz. I appreciate your perspective
All admirable sentiments and in a perfect world it would be that easy, although in ones own personal life of course one can apply this way of living to a certain degree depending on those we surround ourselves with.
I happen to be an advocate for labels (I'm a librarian by trade and degree, so go figure). They're only a problem or obstacle when they're misused or misapplied. Even in these very interesting forums many individuals label themselves, including you. They do so even when the content of their comments may belie their chosen label. I believe labels will no longer be necessary, thankfully, when sexual minorities no longer have to worry about being denied a marriage license, getting fired from a job because of who they are, being denied the opportunity to rent an apartment, getting thrown out of jury selection because in many U.S. states it is still legal to do so, bigoted family members interferring in the legal and financial affairs of a living same-sex spouse/partner (in spite of the fact that legal documents were established to protect against this very thing, and the numerous other legal incidents of marriage that many heterosexual American citizens take for granted), when glbt youth no longer kill themselves as result of being bullied for who they are, and on and on. These may seem like mundane or trivial things to some people, however they are part of life for millions of glbt Americans. The fact is that it's the use of labels that has played an important part in making it possible for many of us to even do what we're doing here in these fascinating forums and on this enjoyable Web site. So I sincerely hope that one day we will be able to apply what you advocate in every facet of our lives.
The use of labels does not mean we cannot live our lives to their fullest, we just need to do so in the context of the world/country/state/city and everyday existences that we live in and even in the ordinary things we do.
Kyanimal --The label bisexual is a beautiful shade of grey!FUCK the Damned Labels! Why try to cram yourself, or anyone else, into a neatly defined Box? LIFE is NOT "Black and White"! It's really all about massive shades of Grey!
@chaz: there are shades of grey. But if there is no sexual desire or attraction to women, what shade, or lable are those gay men. Growing up was the opposite for me. What is free love? H had girls as friends but never any arousel. It was a girl who used to show me her pussy all the time when i was little. She would get confused because i laughed every time she did it. Like i said every gay man is not the same. Some can play around and fuck girls consistantly, some gay men can not. Look at it this way, you have the openly gays like RICKY MARTIN and ELTON JOHN. you have the openly gays like CARSON KRESSLY and MARIO CANTONE. All openly gay, but two of the four men can, and or have been with women. The latter two can not be with women. they can't fake it or play around with women. they have no choice "but" to be themselves. So are there different shades of openly gay.
Yes you should go out and a a beautiful woman to marry and take you to the right pad,
and no i'm not afriad of the bisexual word, i can use it without my voice 'shaking'.
fuck the labels??? really? so we should stop calling people thiefs, rappers, pedophiles, etc...
he shouñld say he was NEVER gay inf the first place, period.
ass eater: While it's true that there are all kinds of shades of being gay, so to speak (I think I prefer the word "aspects"), Ricky Martin and Elton John were closeted while they were in relationships with women and struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. Of course, so was my example, Gareth Thomas, for that matter. Keep in mind that Elton grew up in a time when being openly gay simply was a career killer, and Ricky Martin comes from a heavily homophobic Latin culture. Celebrities tend to live very different lifestyles than most of us regular folks anyway, so I often don't think they make good examples of people to look up to. Admire them for their craft (if they have one), but don't think of them as role models.
Also keep in mind that several openly gay celebrities are really bisexual but don't like to admit it or shun the use of the word (examples: George Michael, Rupert Everett, Cynthia Nixon, Tom Ford, etc.).
Seems to me that he's been struggling to come to terms with who he really is. Some people think they are gay but later on in life realize they're bisexual. Doesn't necessarily make them liars; it may just mean they come to the realization later than the rest of us.
I realized I was gay at age 12. There was never even the remotest question in my own mind about whether I was gay, straight, or bisexual because my sexual attraction for other boys was INTENSE, yet I had virtually no attraction whatsoever to girls, even the most beautiful ones. Now, 35 years later, time has only fortified that fact...although my attraction to various types of men has significantly broadened and grown deeper emotionally, and I can appreciate certain aspects of female sexuality. (For example, I'm not the kind of gay man who is automatically turned off by pussies. I find most to be simply of no interest to me, some rather cringe-worthy, and some even aesthetically and erotically beautiful...but I have desire to go there in my personal life.)
From a psychological point of view that is no healthy, sexuality is definied in our teens, when someone later in life the tend to have a chaotic one, based on lies and all that stuff. And yes they are liars, we all know what we are, one decide to look to another way some of us decide to face life the way it is. Sad but true, we was straight all the way but he prefered to live as a gay man, that (from my personal point of view) is selfish. The only thing i would like to hear is from he coming clean, finding a girl, putting away his "gay" past, moving on and being happy as a straight man.
Also what you point out about "celebrities" is a sad fact that yuth considers them as role models cuz they had the guts to come out. Fact: tons of gay guys are bullied in highscool, work, in their on families and they pull through all that shit, they are real heroes cuz they refuse to live a lie =)
Is also good to know that you have desire to go there [pussy]. You also should come clean, and find a girl. al my best to you both in your new found straightness
^^ Your above statement has to be the most misinformed thing I've ever read on here. Psychology, from Havelock Ellis to Freud and onward and sexology from Kinsey in the 50's to Fritze Klein in the late 80's early 90's have held that human sexuality is fluid and shifting (as in the Kinsey scale or the Klein grid) not fixed and certainly not fixed in adolescence. Why don't you inform yourself first before you presume and misinform others.
And I'll say it again: LIcking pussy one time does not erase or negat 20 some years of living and identifying as a gay man.
I do agree with your point of view that Labels are, indeed, helpful, and necessary, in our efforts to organize, and understand, the World in which we Live.
However, my problem arises when those Labels are used to narrowly define People, VERY Complicated Beings, and attempt to "Shoe Horn" them into Enforced Stereotypes.
H4L has shared a Personal experience with us ... a Gay Guy trying out Muff Diving, and finding that He likes "IT" ... butt is 'jumped upon' by those insisting that he can no longer be considered "Gay"!

Would it not be better for us to ask H4L something along the lines of, "How did that look, taste, smell, feel, for You?" "Were you Boned through it all?" "Did that experience turn you on?" "Would you think of trying that again?" "Can we get some more Details from you?" "Did you get OFF?"
YES!, believe it, or not, "Gay" Guys CAN have Sex with Females, and still be GAY! AND, Str8 Guys can 'Play' with other Guys, and still be Str8!
If they choose to define themselves with those Labels, who are We to Doubt them?
I'm a GAY Guy with an Extensive Bisexual History! Butt, I assure you, I'm STILL a GAY Guy!
Don't let preconceived Labels inhibit your perception of the myriad Wonders/Possibilities of the Full range of Who/What we are capable of Being!
And, of course ... no matter what ...
Keep smilin'!!
WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
If you hold that sexuality is fluid as a general rule, then that would mean that people would naturally start having desires for a partner of a different gender at some point in their lifetime; and this simply is not the case for most people. The vast majority of people know their orientation early on (usually adolescence), and for most of them, it is fixed. They may desire different types as they get older but still within that same gender. SOME people, however, DO have a fluid sexuality and desire different genders at different times in their lives.
Also, holding that sexuality is not fixed gives credence to those who insist that gay people could stop being gay if they really tried hard enough.
Dude really? I went for a Psychology major, and all the teacher i haver ever had support my point of view (though i recognize there is no absolut truth).
So yeah i'm informed and i'm not misinforming anyone.
Human sexuality is fluid? That's why most of 95% of population is str8 or gay for their whole of their lives? So yeah it SO fluid.
It doesn't erease your past, but it does tell the lie you lived.
By the way... c'mon just come out as straight already. It'll be so much easy for you. We all support you you
nobody is against you, i think that needs to be remarked (Y)
Psychology major? WHERE? You've yet to write a single response that isn't riddled with grammatical errors and typos and you're just plain WRONG about what you think as history and countless studies have shown.
Up to this point I assumed you were maybe 16 and just needed to grow up.

Egg, Bud! Sorry, butt you're SO Wrong!
You wouldn't also happen to be a Rebuplican't, would You?
I'm curious to know why you can't accept that H4L is, indeed, in spite of his recent experiences, STILL, and will likely Always BE, GAY!
What are your own imposed 'restrictions' holding you back from seeing the Truth?
I'm not 'attacking' you, Dude! I'm simply wondering how THICK the Wool might be that you're insisting on covering your eyes with!
In any case ...

Geez freakin' Louise. H4L is identifying as bi now, so maybe we should just all leave it at that, hmmmm? Whether he wants dick or pussy in the future, either way he's going to be pursuing something he desires.
I still can't get over the fact that he thinks most gay men are gay because they can't get pussy in the first place. Just incredible.
Kyanimal--Okay so here is something that might freak you and H4L out (although Chaz, I suspect you will not be in any way freaked by what follows). It fucking turns me on that you and H4L like pussy and that at least one of you gets off on fucking pussy--yet you both have called/call yourselves gay and I GET SO ANGRY AT YOU BOTH FOR THAT! Years ago I would have just lashed out at both of you. And no, don't try to over analyze--I would kill myself rather than have any kind of sexual relations with a woman and I would never do so to save the life of my husband. So let's put that tangential thinking to rest, shall we. (Since I can't speak for anyone but myself I will tell you that my arousal on this matter comes from me fantasizing myself as being the female you're fucking, licking, etc.--and so call me or think of me as fucked up, if you want)However, my problem arises when those Labels are used to narrowly define People, VERY Complicated Beings, and attempt to "Shoe Horn" them into Enforced Stereotypes.
H4L has shared a Personal experience with us ... a Gay Guy trying out Muff Diving, and finding that He likes "IT" ... butt is 'jumped upon' by those insisting that he can no longer be considered "Gay"!

I and so many, many other men who openly identify as gay (meaning: exclusively homosexual in our desire, fantasy, physiological response, and/or romantic affectation, etc.) cannot understand and should not understand, in my humble opinion, why men like you and H4L have been or are what you claim to be.
I have joined this site in part because with this particular thread I have watched H4L grow to a conclusion. Although I always wonder how it would make his ex-love feel watching him have sex with a woman. It would rip my heart. I bet it would rip his heart too.
Chaz-- If we lived in that perfect world, then it wouldn't matter who we fooled around with. Nor would anyone care.
I am so thankful that our anti-gay foes are not so sophisticated. Because they could use your current hetero desires (e.g. the Frenchie thread game) and H4L as examples of why gay men and lesbians do not deserve to be treated as equal or protected from discrimination. After all guys like Kyanimal and H4L can get in on with women--so why couldn't the rest of the perverts. This is where the grey or the abstract becomes the enemy.
Hot4Latinos-- re: eggsel
I wanted to say something like this. Thankfully one of the alpha males said so.Up to this point I assumed you were maybe 16 and just needed to grow up.
Thank you for responding with open hearts Chaz & Colo.
And Colo, as I said I will never give up my Latino men!
You melt my heart Hot4Latinos. If I had the money, resources, and the time I would spend every waking hour to find you your love--not the perfect person mind you--but someone who would appreciate you in the way that you should be.
Okay I have said all that I could.
Kyanimal -- oh for goodness sake if I could have your babies (well, we'd be rich and both our husbands would hate us).
But if I were single, for real, Hot4Latinos is the kind of man I want. It's complicated.
Re: everybody, it does seem odd that h4latinos changed his gay caption to bisexual but still say he's gay when he posts. I believe he is still gay. Even though most gay men i know don't have pussy on their minds, we don't know why his husband of 15 yrs left him. H4latino does'nt seem to be into women romantically, affectionately, he don't like titties, he don't want to live with them, he don't want to date them. I believe that if a tree had a pussy, h4latino would be eating that tree and not women. So until he starts to say he's got a girlfriend. Then thats a different story! I mean a real girlfriend not a beard or a cover. H4latino is the flip side of str8 men who only want dick. Ive been with a str8 guy, he did'nt want me. He wanted my dick and my hole. I try to avoid str8 guys because its hard to have sex without kissing, holding, carressing, and cuddling. I don't agree with h4latino when he says gay men are gay because they can't get sex from women. being gay started long before i was interested in sex.
Totally agree with you! You can't possible turn to men just because you can't get women. That's an outrageous claim. If you are gay, you are gay, there are no questions about it. Of course there are people with fetishes and fantasy about the vagina, it happens. We just need to accept people for who they are and not allow the stereotypes that pervade this community and society control the way we interpret people's behaviours and erotic fantasies.
Sexuality is indeed fluid, as supported by a few studies. However, I must point out that over the last two decades, men seem to think that their sexuality is fixed, and the vice versa for women! We need to change the mentality that sexuality is fixed, because it isn't. I've had friends who were straight all the til they decided to give gay sex a try and some became bi and some, well, gay.
I know people who find the vagina disgusting, but look, isn't that just their opinion on their sexual preference? And then there are gay guys who thinks that the vagina is a piece of art to be admired (and doesn't do anything about it) or just a hole attached to a living person in which he is just fucking to pleasure himself!
So c'mon people, let live and stop trying to criticise Hot4Latinos for whatever he has done or want to do.
I'm not from the USA so sorry for the grammatical mistakes. English is the thirg language i learnt so i'm still thrying to learn it.
No i'm not 16, and yes i did study Psychology and also Aeronautical Engineering. I am not a liar there are tons of studies that show sexuality is not fluid, sorry to wake you from you "we all are bi" dream.
@Kyanimal Wow i'm not a republican, indeed in my country i don't think there is a political party that fits american republicans.
So he is gay who likes pussy that is what you saying? Read again, does that makes sense? no at all
So can i be a vegan and STILL eat meat, milk & all that? that makes a lot of sense don't you think?
He is straight, nobody is judging him.
(sorry for the grammatical mistakes, i'm not perfect no even writing in my own language)
Hey, Guys
Back to as far as I can remember, I've always LOVED Cars. And, as soon as I could, I really got into Driving.
I've driven everything from Bulldozers/Tractors, Trucks/Vans, Sports Cars to Limos, Bikes, Boats, and even though I haven't flown them myself, I enjoy Planes, and especially Helicopters.
However, though I've driven, and ridden on/in, other things, I'm still, and always will be, at my core, a "Car Guy".
Now ... substitute 'Cars' with Males, and 'Driving'/'Riding' with Sex, and perhaps you'll be better able to understand what I've been saying.
Keep smilin'!!
WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
Some of the responses in this thread make me wonder if folks are really even taking the time to fully read the posts or if they're just taking bits and pieces from them and then responding. H4L is pretty much ignoring my posts at this point, which is fine, but for goodness' sake, people, he has gotten into PLENTY detail about his experience and make it very clear that it turned him on immensely (he didn't like it - he LOVED it - see first post) and that he would definitely do it again. For example:
"Getting to lick and finger her pussy was really hot."
"I'd definitely do it again..."
"Her pussy was really warm and wet. Would have loved to fuck her."
"I really loved playing with her.... I loved her tits and fingering her wet pussy. I really want to try more."
"I'd definitely do it again!"
"As we all know, men are dogs. I think more gay men would go for pussy if it was NSA. Sex, NSA, with men is easy and that's why most gay men are gay. The sex is easy. Honestly, pussy is damn near impossible to get and that's why most gay men don't bother when they can get it anytime they want from a guy."
"Yeah, it was very hot."
"I was very honest with my ex about my curiosity. He didn't understand it but was supportive, even joining me when I attended a Bi Discussion Group."
Take this anyway you want to, but given that H4L started countless other threads about his obsession with pussy prior to this one, it sounds pretty clear to me that he's beginning to embrace his own bisexuality, which I suspect is something he's already known about within himself for quite some time.
=) Hope one day he comes clean and came out if his straight closet =).
Many put te example that a gay mand can marry women, fuck her, love her and all that stuff. Well if a "so called gay man" can do that.
He was a stragiht man having a relationship with man, fucking men, and all that stuff.
Societal pressure? Are you living in 2012? Not even in Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela gay men get married for societal pressure... i can tell you cuz i have lived there.
Besides, he put himself to live as a gay to repress his straight orientation, cuz as he said in one post "men are dogs"... he was nervous about not being able to date a girl, so he went gay. No he knows he is capable so no he is true to himslef. A straight man he is (Y)
Good for him to fanally coming clean with his sexual orintation, though he missed lots of years playing gay while he wasn't.
First: Gaydude: I've have read all of the posts here and appreciate everyone's response. I have responded to the thread in general. The fact that I have not responded specifically to you was not intended as a slight.
Egg: I apologize for assuming anything. I understand there is a language barrier, still, your asssertion that human sexuality is fixed and that I am a closeted straight is just WRONG.
Someone asked why my relationship with my ex ended. It's simple. We were young when we met. In 15 years we grew up and grew apart because we became different people in the process and that meant that we (at that point) had little in common.
No I would never date a woman. I would only be with a woman for sex. I have no emotional connection to them.
My current situation: I tried pussy and LOVED it and want more. I am currently chatting with another couple (M/F) and will hopefully join them soon. BUT....I am also chatting with a guy I was seeing about a year age (Yes, Colo, he's Latino) and I'm really hoping we get together again.
OH and the change of my identity from gay to bi was a kneejerk response to egg's insistance that I'm str8. I'm willing to accept that I'm bi or have bi tendencies (tho' I still think of myself as gay). It was my attempt to meet Egg halfway.
THo' honestly, I just think of myself as a gay man with a strange fetish for pussy....lol
Don't use the word fetish. Well at least i wouldn't use it. Fetish is for unanimated objects, woman usually are alive, unless... lol just kiddng XD
But also a fetish is something that has a treatment. One can stop being turned on by leather, socks, jockstraps. By the objtec not the owner.
You can come out as bi if you want, i'm just poitnting out my personal poitn of view, you can also say you are a gay man with a pussy fetish. Also i want to come out as a Vegan who LOVES meat.
The fact you still try to fuck pussy even more, can easily tell us that you indeed are str8. (you hooking up with guys as well only indicates that "what we are used to do" is hard to let go, not that you are gay)
@h4latino: I believe that's the reason why some gay male porn actors do an occasional straight, or bi porn flick.
Last edited by Hot4Latinos; May 5th, 2012 at 01:11 PM. Reason: to add something
@h4latino i was responding to you saying you are a gay man with a pussy fetish. My post was posted late.
^^ Stop already. Bi I admit. Str8 never. At least not as as long as they're are hot Latino men in this world I can get at....

The disciples pluck corn on the sabbath. (1-5) Works of mercy suitable to the sabbath day. (6-11) The apostles chosen. (12-19) Blessings and woes declared. (20-26) Christ exhorts to mercy. (27-36) And to justice and sincerity. (37-49)
Verses 1-5 Christ justifies his disciples in a work of necessity for themselves on the sabbath day, and that was plucking the ears of corn when they were hungry. But we must take heed that we mistake not this liberty for leave to commit sin. Christ will have us to know and remember that it is his day, therefore to be spent in his service, and to his honour.
Verses 6-11 Christ was neither ashamed nor afraid to own the purposes of his grace. He healed the poor man, though he knew that his enemies would take advantage against him for it. Let us not be drawn either from our duty or from our usefulness by any opposition. We may well be amazed, that the sons of men should be so wicked.
Verses 12-19 We often think one half hour a great deal to spend in meditation and secret prayer, but Christ was whole nights engaged in these duties. In serving God, our great care should be not to lose time, but to make the end of one good duty the beginning of another. The twelve apostles are here named; never were men so privileged, yet one of them had a devil, and proved a traitor. Those who have not faithful preaching near them, had better travel far than be without it. It is indeed worth while to go a great way to hear the word of Christ, and to go out of the way of other business for it. They came to be cured by him, and he healed them. There is a fulness of grace in Christ, and healing virtue in him, ready to go out from him, that is enough for all, enough for each. Men regard the diseases of the body as greater evils than those of their souls; but the Scripture teaches us differently.
Verses 20-26 Here begins a discourse of Christ, most of which is also found in ( Matthew 5 , Matthew 7 ) . But some think that this was preached at another time and place. All believers that take the precepts of the gospel to themselves, and live by them, may take the promises of the gospel to themselves, and live upon them. Woes are denounced against prosperous sinners as miserable people, though the world envies them. Those are blessed indeed whom Christ blesses, but those must be dreadfully miserable who fall under his woe and curse! What a vast advantage will the saint have over the sinner in the other world! and what a wide difference will there be in their rewards, how much soever the sinner may prosper, and the saint be afflicted here!
Verses 27-36 These are hard lessons to flesh and blood. But if we are thoroughly grounded in the faith of Christ's love, this will make his commands easy to us. Every one that comes to him for washing in his blood, and knows the greatness of the mercy and the love there is in him, can say, in truth and sincerity, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Let us then aim to be merciful, even according to the mercy of our heavenly Father to us.
Verses 37-49 All these sayings Christ often used; it was easy to apply them. We ought to be very careful when we blame others; for we need allowance ourselves. If we are of a giving and a forgiving spirit, we shall ourselves reap the benefit. Though full and exact returns are made in another world, not in this world, yet Providence does what should encourage us in doing good. Those who follow the multitude to do evil, follow in the broad way that leads to destruction. The tree is known by its fruits; may the word of Christ be so grafted in our hearts, that we may be fruitful in every good word and work. And what the mouth commonly speaks, generally agrees with what is most in the heart. Those only make sure work for their souls and eternity, and take the course that will profit in a trying time, who think, speak, and act according to the words of Christ. Those who take pains in religion, found their hope upon Christ, who is the Rock of Ages, and other foundation can no man lay. In death and judgment they are safe, being kept by the power of Christ through faith unto salvation, and they shall never perish.
Luke 6:1-5 . PLUCKING CORN-EARS ON THE SABBATH.
Mark 2:23-28 .)1. second sabbath after the first--an obscure expression, occurring here only, generally understood to mean, the first sabbath after the second day of unleavened bread. The reasons cannot be stated here, nor is the opinion itself quite free from difficulty.
5. Lord also--rather "even" (as in Matthew 12:8 ).
of the sabbath--as naked a claim to all the authority of Him who gave the law at Mount Sinai as could possibly be made; that is, "I have said enough to vindicate the men ye carp at on My account: but in this place is the Lord of the law, and they have His sanction." (See Mark 2:28 .)
Luke 6:6-11 . WITHERED HAND HEALED.
Mark 3:1-7 .)7. watched whether, &c.--In Matthew ( Matthew 12:9 ) this is put as an ensnaring question of theirs to our Lord, who accordingly speaks to the state of their hearts ( Luke 6:9 ), just as if they had spoken it out.
9. good, or . . . evil, save . . . or destroy--By this novel way of putting His case, our Lord teaches the great ethical principle, that to neglect any opportunity of doing good is to incur the guilt of doing evil; and by this law He bound His own spirit. (See Mark 3:4 .)
11. filled with madness--The word denotes senseless rage at the confusion to which our Lord had put them, both by word and deed.
what . . . do to Jesus--not so much whether to get rid of Him, but how to compass it.
Luke 6:12-49 . THE TWELVE APOSTLES CHOSEN--GATHERING MULTITUDES--GLORIOUS HEALING.
12, 13. went out--probably from Capernaum.
all night in prayer . . . and when . . . day, he called, &c.--The work with which the next day began shows what had been the burden of this night's devotions. As He directed His disciples to pray for "laborers" just before sending themselves forth we find the Lord Himself in prolonged communion with His Father in preparation for the solemn appointment of those men who were to give birth to His Church, and from whom the world in all time was to take a new mould. How instructive is this!
17. in the plain--by some rendered "on a level place," that is, a piece of high tableland, by which they understand the same thing, as "on the mountain," where our Lord delivered the sermon recorded by Matthew ( Matthew 5:1 ), of which they take this following discourse of Luke to be but an abridged form. But as the sense given in our version is the more accurate, so there are weighty reasons for considering the discourses different. This one contains little more than a fourth of the other; it has woes of its own, as well as the beatitudes common to both; but above all, that of Matthew was plainly delivered a good while before, while this was spoken after the choice of the twelve; and as we know that our Lord delivered some of His weightiest sayings more than once, there is no difficulty in supposing this to be one of His more extended repetitions; nor could anything be more worthy of it.
19. healed--kept healing, denoting successive acts of mercy till it went over "all" that needed. There is something unusually grand and pictorial in this touch of description.
20, 21. In the Sermon on the Mount the benediction is pronounced upon the "poor in spirit" and those who "hunger and thirst after righteousness" ( Matthew 5:3 Matthew 5:6 ). Here it is simply on the "poor" and the "hungry now." In this form of the discourse, then, our Lord seems to have had in view "the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love Him," as these very beatitudes are paraphrased by James ( James 2:5 ).
21. laugh--How charming is the liveliness of this word, to express what in Matthew is called being "comforted!"
22. separate you--whether from their Church, by excommunication, or from their society; both hard to flesh and blood.
for the Son of man's sake--Compare Matthew 5:11 , "for MY SAKE"; and immediately before, "for righteousness' sake" ( Luke 6:10 ). Christ thus binds up the cause of righteousness in the world with the reception of Himself.
23. leap for joy--a livelier word than "be exceeding glad" of "exult" ( Matthew 5:12 ).
24, 25. rich . . . full . . . laugh--who have all their good things and joyous feelings here and now, in perishable objects.
received your
shall hunger--their inward craving strong as ever, but the materials of satisfaction forever gone.
26. all . . . speak well of you--alluding to the court paid to the false prophets of old ( Micah 2:11 ). For the principle of this woe, and its proper limits, see John 15:19 .
but this is much fuller and more graphic.39. Can the blind, &c.--not in the Sermon on the Mount, but recorded by Matthew in another and very striking connection ( Matthew 15:14 ).
40. The disciple, &c.--that is, "The disciple aims to come up to his master, and he thinks himself complete when he does so: if you then be blind leaders of the blind, the perfection of one's training under you will only land him the more certainly in one common ruin with yourselves."

Christ the true Vine. (1-8) His love to his disciples. (9-17) foretold. (18-25) The Comforter promised. (26,27)
Verses 1-8 Jesus Christ is the Vine, the true Vine. The union of the human and Divine natures, and the fulness of the Spirit that is in him, resemble the root of the vine made fruitful by the moisture from a rich soil. Believers are branches of this Vine. The root is unseen, and our life is hid with Christ; the root bears the tree, diffuses sap to it, and in Christ are all supports and supplies. The branches of the vine are many, yet, meeting in the root, are all but one vine; thus all true Christians, though in place and opinion distant from each other, meet in Christ. Believers, like the branches of the vine, are weak, and unable to stand but as they are borne up. The Father is the Husbandman. Never was any husbandman so wise, so watchful, about his vineyard, as God is about his church, which therefore must prosper. We must be fruitful. From a vine we look for grapes, and from a Christian we look for a Christian temper, disposition, and life. We must honour God, and do good; this is bearing fruit. The unfruitful are taken away. And even fruitful branches need pruning; for the best have notions, passions, and humours, that require to be taken away, which Christ has promised to forward the sanctification of believers, they will be thankful, for them. The word of Christ is spoken to all believers; and there is a cleansing virtue in that word, as it works grace, and works out corruption. And the more fruit we bring forth, the more we abound in what is good, the more our Lord is glorified. In order to fruitfulness, we must abide in Christ, must have union with him by faith. It is the great concern of all Christ's disciples, constantly to keep up dependence upon Christ, and communion with him. True Christians find by experience, that any interruption in the exercise of their faith, causes holy affections to decline, their corruptions to revive, and their comforts to droop. Those who abide not in Christ, though they may flourish for awhile in outward profession, yet come to nothing. The fire is the fittest place for withered branches; they are good for nothing else. Let us seek to live more simply on the fulness of Christ, and to grow more fruitful in every good word and work, so may our joy in Him and in his salvation be full.
Verses 9-17 Those whom God loves as a Father, may despise the hatred of all the world. As the Father loved Christ, who was most worthy, so he loved his disciples, who were unworthy. All that love the Saviour should continue in their love to him, and take all occasions to show it. The joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment, but the joy of those who abide in Christ's love is a continual feast. They are to show their love to him by keeping his commandments. If the same power that first shed abroad the love of Christ's in our hearts, did not keep us in that love, we should not long abide in it. Christ's love to us should direct us to love each other. He speaks as about to give many things in charge, yet names this only; it includes many duties.
Verses 18-25 How little do many persons think, that in opposing the doctrine of Christ as our Prophet, Priest, and King, they prove themselves ignorant of the one living and true God, whom they profess to worship! The name into which Christ's disciples were baptized, is that which they will live and die by. It is a comfort to the greatest sufferers, if they suffer for Christ's name's sake. The world's ignorance is the true cause of its hatred to the disciples of Jesus. The clearer and fuller the discoveries of the grace and truth of Christ, the greater is our sin if we do not love him and believe in him.
26,27. The blessed Spirit will maintain the cause of Christ in the world, notwithstanding the opposition it meets with. Believers taught and encouraged by his influences, would bear testimony to Christ and his salvation.
John 15:1-27 . DISCOURSE AT THE SUPPER TABLE CONTINUED.
1-8. The spiritual oneness of Christ and His people, and His relation to them as the Source of all their spiritual life and fruitfulness, are here beautifully set forth by a figure familiar to Jewish ears ( Isaiah 5:1 , &c.).
I am the true vine--of whom the vine of nature is but a shadow.
my Father is the husbandman--the great Proprietor of the vineyard, the Lord of the spiritual kingdom. (It is surely unnecessary to point out the claim to supreme divinity involved in this).
2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit . . . every branch that beareth fruit--As in a fruit tree, some branches may be fruitful, others quite barren, according as there is a vital connection between the branch and the stock, or no vital connection; so the disciples of Christ may be spiritually fruitful or the reverse, according as they are vitally and spiritually connected with Christ, or but externally and mechanically attached to Him. The fruitless He "taketh away" "purgeth" (cleanseth, pruneth)--stripping it, as the husbandman does, of what is rank ( Mark 4:19 ), "that it may bring forth more fruit"; a process often painful, but no less needful and beneficial than in the natural husbandry.
3. Now--rather, "Already."
ye are clean through--by reason of.
the word I have spoken to you--already in a purified, fruitful condition, in consequence of the long action upon them of that searching "word" which was "as a refiner's fire" ( Malachi 3:2 Malachi 3:3 ).
4. Abide in me, and I in you; as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, &c.--As all spiritual fruitfulness had been ascribed to the mutual inhabitation, and living, active interpenetration (so to speak) of Christ and His disciples, so here the keeping up of this vital connection is made essential to continued fruitfulness.
5. without me--apart, or vitally disconnected from Me.
ye can do nothing--spiritually, acceptably.
6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch . . . withered . . . cast into the fire . . . burned--The one proper use of the vine is to bear fruit; failing this, it is good for one other thing--fuel. (See Ezekiel 15:1-5 ). How awfully striking the figure, in this view of it!
7. If ye abide in me, and my words . . . in you--Mark the change from the inhabitation of Himself to that of His words, paving the way for the subsequent exhortations ( John 15:9 John 15:10 ).
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you--because this indwelling of His words in them would secure the harmony of their askings with the divine will.
8. glorified that ye bear much fruit--not only from His delight in it for its own sake, but as from "the juices of the Living Vine."
so shall ye be my disciples--evidence your discipleship.
9-11. continue ye in my love--not, "Continue to love Me," but, "Continue in the possession and enjoyment of My love to you"; as is evident from the next words.
10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love--the obedient spirit of true discipleship cherishing and attracting the continuance and increase of Christ's love; and this, He adds, was the secret even of His own abiding in His Father's love!
12-16. That ye love one another,
13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends--The emphasis lies not on "friends," but on "laying down his life" for them; that is, "One can show no greater regard for those dear to him than to give his life for them, and this is the love ye shall find in Me."
14. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you--hold yourselves in absolute subjection to Me.
15. Henceforth I call you not servants--that is, in the sense explained in the next words; for servants He still calls them ( John 15:20 ), and they delight to call themselves so, in the sense of being "under law to Christ" ( 1 Corinthians 9:20 ).
the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth--knows nothing of his master's plans and reasons, but simply receives and executes his orders.
but . . . friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you--admitted you to free, unrestrained fellowship, keeping back nothing from you which I have received to communicate. (Compare Genesis 18:17 , Psalms 25:14 , Isaiah 50:4 ).
16. Ye have not chosen me, but I . . . you--a wholesale memento after the lofty things He had just said about their mutual indwelling, and the unreservedness of the friendship they had been admitted to.
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit--that is, give yourselves to it.
and that your fruit should remain--showing itself to be an imperishable and ever growing principle. (Compare Proverbs 4:18 , 2 John 1:8 ).
that whatsoever ye shall ask,
17-21. The substance of these important verses has occurred more than once before. Luke 12:49-53 , &c.).
24. If I had not done . . . the works which none other . . .
25. that the word might be fulfilled . . . They hated me without a cause--quoted from the Messianic Psalms 69:4 , applied also in the same sense in John 2:17 , Acts 1:20 , Romans 11:9 Romans 11:10 , 15:3 .
27. ye also shall bear witness--rather, "are witnesses"; with reference indeed to their future witness-bearing, but putting the emphasis upon their present ample opportunities for acquiring their qualifications for that great office, inasmuch as they had been "with Him from the beginning."

The lymph system helps your body fight illness. Lymph fluid travels throughout the body in lymph nodes and vessels. The fluid builds up if these nodes or vessels are blocked, damaged, or missing. Fluid build-up in the arms or legs is called lymphedema. There are two types of lymphedema:
- Primary lymphedema is uncommon and occurs because people are either born without lymph nodes and vessels or they do not work properly.
- Secondary lymphedema occurs when there is injury to the lymph nodes or vessels or blockage by infection or tumors.
Lymphedema can be caused by a variety of factors:
Primary lymphedema
- Being born without lymph vessels and nodes or with poorly functioning ones.
- Milroy's disease
- Meige disease
- Late-onset lymphedema
Secondary lymphedema
- Surgery for cancer
- Radiation treatment for cancer
- Burns
- Liposuction
- Surgery on blood vessels
- Infection
- Trauma
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing lymphedema. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Surgery that removed lymph nodes such as breast cancer surgery
- Radiation treatment
- Cancer
- Infection
- Parasites—tropical/subtropical regions
- Overweight
- Poor diet
- Older age
Symptoms of lymphedema include:
- Swelling in arms, legs, fingers, or toes
- Loss in range of motion
- Infection
- Aching, pain, or discomfort
- Heaviness or tightness of skin
- Your clothes, shoes, or jewelry feel tight
- Hardening of the skin
- Redness of skin
Cases of lymphedema can vary from mild to severe. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may need to be taken of your body structures. This can be done with:
- MRI scan
- CT scan
- Duplex ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound
Other tests may include:
- Measurement of your arms and/or legs—to assess the severity of fluid build-up
- Lymphoscintigraphy—a test that uses dye to trace its travel through your lymph system
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include the following:
Your doctor or physical therapist may show you exercises to drain fluid out of your arm or leg. Massage may also be used to help fluid drain. Sometimes, external pumps are used to help drain the fluid build-up.
Compression stockings, sleeves, or bandages are often used to direct fluid away from your affected arm or leg. You may be shown how to apply a compression device.
Compression stockings, sleeves, or bandages are often used to direct fluid away from your affected arm or leg. You may be shown how to apply a compression device.
Areas of lymphedema are at risk for infection. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to prevent or treat infection. If the condition is painful, your doctor may suggest or prescribe a pain reliever.
Diuretics (water pills) may be useful for short periods of time for swelling in some causes of lymphedema.
In severe cases, surgery to remove extra tissue from your arm or leg may be considered.
If you are at risk for developing lymphedema, there are measures you can take to help reduce your chance of getting the condition.
If you are at risk, you can prevent swelling and fluid if you:
- Do not allow anyone to take blood or your blood pressure on your affected arm or leg.
- Wear a medical bracelet warning of your risk for developing lymphedema.
- Avoid crossing your legs or carrying items on your shoulder if either area is at risk.
- Maintain a healthy weight and eat properly.
- Avoid ice packs or heating pads to the affected area.
- If you had lymph nodes in your armpit removed during breast cancer surgery, participating in a physical therapy program may help to prevent lymphedema.
You can prevent side effects if you:
- Keep your affected arm or leg clean.
- Keep hands and feet protected by wearing gloves and shoes.
- Use an electric razor to shave.
- Use sunscreen when outdoors.

Transportation in Miami
The infamously slow Metrobus service in Miami is run by the Miami-Dade Transit Department and covers South Beach and the Art Deco Historic District as well as integrating with all other public transport systems. All buses are wheelchair accessible and exact change, a token or a Metropass is required. Don't expect buses to run to posted timetables.
With numerous stops along the seafront, the colourful South Beach Local Circulator electric bus trundles up and down South Beach every 10-15 minutes, providing sun-lovers with a regular and inexpensive (there is a flat fare) way to travel in between beach and hotel.
Driving in traffic-snarled Miami can be challenging and parking can be tiresome. However, hiring a car may be the best option for venturing down the main highway US1 to the Everglades or Florida Keys. Valet parking is available at most restaurants but is expensive. Hotels charge a daily rate for stowing your car. Carry lots of coins for parking meters.
By far the easiest and quickest option for getting around Miami, taxis are bright yellow and can be flagged down in the street; a green light indicates that they are free. There are also plenty of taxi ranks throughout the city. All taxis are metered and a tip of about 15% is customary.
Rent your car
Miami is easy to navigate with expressways leading straight from Miami Airport to Miami Beach and connecting roads to the north and south. Parking can be expensive though with hotels charging upwards from $15. There is also some on-street parking, payable by coin, card or over the phone.
Transportation tips
A car is helpful unless you are staying in South Beach. A toll applies on most causeways between the airport and the beach: have small change ready when heading eastbound. Parking spots are as elusive as the Holy Grail in South Beach and traffic wardens are ruthless. Metropass tickets for Metrorail and Metro-Bus are available from the Transit Service Center at Downtown's Metrorail Center.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Dispatch: Yemen's Prolonged Political Crisis

Analyst Reva Bhalla discusses the factors that have allowed Yemeni
President Ali Abdullah Saleh to gradually regain authority in Sanaa and
the reasons for the protracted political stalemate in the country.

Chinese Lending
* The Yemeni Political Crisis Stagnates
Protests and clashes between opposition and pro-government forces have
continued across Yemen since Monday, when the Yemeni president signed a
deal authorizing his vice president to negotiate a power transfer deal
with the opposition and organize early elections. The president and his
allies may not be able to assert authority over the Yemeni state
overall, but his faction is making notable progress in strengthening
control over the capital, Sanaa. That means Yemen will remain in
protracted political stalemate and below the threshold for civil war for
some time to come.
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who remains in Saudi Arabia while
his family members and allies continue to run state affairs in the
Yemeni capital Sanaa, signed a deal on Monday to authorize his vice
president to negotiate a power transfer deal with the opposition and
organize early elections in line with the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council]
initiative. That initiative calls for Saleh to step down with immunity
and the organization of early elections within three months of signing
the deal. The deal, as expected, was full of caveats. Saleh retains the
right to reject the deal in the end, and he refused to give up his post
overall. If Saleh is going to leave, and he's in apparently no rush to
do so, he is going to leave on his own terms.
The opposition saw right through the deal and promptly held
demonstrations on Tuesday under the slogan "no deal, no maneuvering, the
president should leave." Saleh likely anticipated the opposition's
reaction. This is yet another step along the way that allows Saleh to
appear cooperative with the U.S. and other mediators while holding out
just enough on opposition demands to make it appear as though the
opposition is the one rejecting the deal in the end.
What's more important to understand, and something we've been saying
since the beginning of this crisis, is that Saleh and his clan have been
maintaining control over the organs of the state that matter, namely the
security apparatus. In recent days for example, the Republican Guards,
led by Saleh's son, have been making notable progress in reclaiming
opposition territory in and around Sanaa. And the United States, for
lack of better options, is okay with that, especially after the United
States has made considerable investment in Yemen since 9/11 in an
attempt to develop a so-called new guard that would keep at least some
distance from the large number of Islamist sympathizers that continue to
pervade Yemen's intelligence and security agencies. The United States is
maintaining pressure on Saleh and his allies to work with the
opposition, but Washington is just as concerned about creating the
conditions for civil war in the country that would play to the hands of
al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and its jihadist allies that continue
operating in the country.
Meanwhile, the main arbiter in this dispute, Saudi Arabia, remains very
much divided over how to manage this political crisis. Some Saudi
factions have openly backed Saleh and his clan, while others have been
backing the tribes and major opposition figures that are against Saleh.
Some of this has to do with personal differences between Saudi King
Abdullah and Saudi Interior Minister Prince Naif in their personal
relationships with Saleh, but it goes to show that even Saudi Arabia has
yet to form a coherent policy in managing its southern neighbor. Saudi
Arabia generally prefers Yemen to remain weak and thus deeply exposed to
Saudi influence. At the same time, Saudi Arabia does not want Yemen to
disintegrate to the point that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, whose
target set remains strategically lasered in on the Saudi kingdom, has
the room to harness its skills and use Yemen as a more secure launchpad
for transnational attacks. These mixed signals from Saudi Arabia are
prolonging the political crisis in Yemen, but what's clear is that Saleh
and his clan maintain control over Sanaa, the capital, and the
opposition does not yet have what it takes to shift that dynamic in any
fundamental way.

Amany Jamal On Demoracy in the Arab East
August 6, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS)
Berkeley–A little over ten months ago, Amany Jamal came to talk to a small group on his work in progress, The Crisis of Political Legitimacy in the Arab World.
It has too often been assumed that the Arab nations do not wish democracy. This is not true, but the majority of the regions monarchies and republics' pre-eminent dominant authorities are distrustful of democratic reforms. The social restructuring towards democratization has not arisen to the same extend as in the second World as yet, and there is a great deal difference to the degree and the liberality that the Arab world desires their democratic forms, and as your author has emphasized before the democracy that develops in any country has to take into account of its traditions, history and the constituencies of the larger geographical zone et al. The error that the Bush and the Neo-Conservatives made in dealing with the Middle East was to shove down the Jeffersonian tradition in the Near and Middle East and other Islamic zones with the democratic values that had evolved in North America!
A Capitalist economy is not conducive to all types of democracy! The State should make its own decisions on its own allocations, and not the individual citizens or corporate entities. Exiting theories to social inequality are emphatically universal. There are pronounced amoralities within almost every Arab State – except Kuwait. In most of the topography under study, restrictive legislation is applied toward propping up authoritative regimes.
"If (a) society is equipped for [democratic] change, it will do so [i.e., change]," further, "…States [do] not necessarily [promote their] society's preferences." Her hypothesis is that "…the elites are worried over jeopardizing their client status with the United States." These privileged rules are more likely to oppose democracy.
The more an Arab country lacks development, the more dependent it is upon Washington. The Arab nations have less bi-lateral ties than they do with the U.S.A.! Thus, North America has a strong military presence there. The Arabs, though, are only subordinate partners within the American Empire.
Today, small Kuwait holds 10 percent of the known world oil reserves, but has one of the highest per capita percentages of militants within the Middle East. The residents in all of the nations are well aware of it potential political weaknesses within the structures of their individual states. If the Islamists would come to power, they would not necessarily sever ties with the D.C., but there are places where "Anti-American forces are of a concern – such as Jordan" where the Islamists could weaken the Monarchy. Jordan is considered the most stable realm in the Middle East because of American buttressing.
There still remains a fear among the Iranians that, if the U.S. deserts Baghdad too fast, Tehran will have to cope with a security risk there again.
Amany Jamal finished her remarks of last fall, "…Anti-Americanism has stifled democratization" throughout the neighborhood; therefore, "…The route [towards] democratization lies in addressing the…increase of Anti-Americanism…" within the locale.
