Ever since KHOW talk-show host Dan Caplis began attacking the presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama, he's received a steadily accelerating barrage of hate e-mail. That's nothing new for Caplis, who's grown accustomed to criticism during his sixteen years on the radio, nearly four of which he's spent alongside cohort Craig Silverman in KHOW's afternoon-drive slot. Still, the screeds penned by the Obama faithful have some distinctive characteristics.
"It strikes me as having been written by people who've probably had every level of education they could possibly enroll for," Caplis says. "And yet they channel it into this really self-defeating line of attack, where if you report these facts about Obama, you're a racist." In his view, the effect is simultaneously "very sophisticated" and "ignorant."
Such characteristics will no doubt bubble to the surface frequently between now and election day. Over time, the mainstream press has tended to treat race as the Great Unmentionable — a topic so likely to stir anti-intellectual passions that it's to be avoided at all cost — and throughout his campaign, Obama has followed suit, doing his best to usher the electorate into a post-racial era. But that's easier said than done.
Obama's success, coupled with his ancestry, has brought race to the forefront of national discourse in a manner that's likely to be even more profound and far-reaching than the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. For that reason, many potential voters who consider Obama to be a living, breathing example of America's ability to move beyond its heritage of slavery and discrimination are apt to see anyone who opposes his rise through a racial lens, whether it's justified or not.
This puts critics in a difficult position that's compounded by an unfortunate truth: Even if their negative opinions aren't racially motivated, they'll become heroes to genuine bigots sure to assume that, deep down, their thought processes are the same.
Peter Boyles, who helms the morning block at KHOW, has been down roads like these before without straying off course. He has a tendency to hop onto subjects and ride them until they do an Eight Belles impression — remember his incredible devotion to the JonBenét Ramsey case? — and in recent years, he's applied the approach to illegal immigration. He faults local, state and national officials for not doing nearly enough to stem the tide of would-be workers from Mexico, in particular, and favors get-tough measures for individuals sans a green card, who are presumably depleting scarce government resources with each tick of the clock. But even as he's emerged as a leading voice for strict immigration reform, he's become a prime target for ideologically divergent callers and e-mailers convinced that he must be motivated by prejudice.
"I've been called a xenophobe, a Nazi, a Klansman, a fascist. You know the list," Boyles says. But in his view, such terms are used in too cavalier a manner. "There really are racists out there, there really are neo-Nazis, there really are fascists," he acknowledges. "George Bush is as close to a good fascist as we've had in a while. But a lot of the guys who use these words don't even know what they mean."
Boyles does: "Lord knows I lived through it when they murdered my best friend" — a reference to talk-show host Alan Berg, slain in 1984 by a white-supremacist group called the Order. But instead of crying foul, he prefers to challenge the assertions directly. "If someone charges me with racism, I'll immediately call the person and invite them on the show. And they won't come on. The Tina Griegos, the Diane Carmans, the Butch Montoyas — they never even return our calls," he says. Hence, he has considerably more respect for foes who willingly enter the lion's den, including Re-create '68 activist Glenn Spagnuolo. "I probably disagree with him on every single issue, including what color the sky is, but I admire him for doing the show," he admits.
These days, Boyles says he's hearing fewer allegations of racism than he did a year or two ago — a change he credits to shifting public opinion and a growing acceptance of his immigration positions. "There are more and more rational people who see there's an argument here that has nothing to do with skin color or ethnicity," he emphasizes. But plenty of detractors remain willing to label him a racist, and he has little tolerance for ones who do so on the air. As he puts it, "If that's all you've got, the conversation ends."
KOA's Mike Rosen shares this philosophy. Rosen is as conservative as they come, and because he expresses antipathy for both Barack Obama and liberal immigration policies, he, too, comes in for racism indictments on occasion. But he doesn't take the insults personally. "That's a tactic some people use — and there are other people who might have a hair trigger for taking offense," he allows. "But I'm not a firebrand or a shock jock. I'm not outrageous for the sake of being outrageous, and frankly, I have no tolerance for hypersensitive people who want to rein me in with a politically correct whip." Nevertheless, he goes on, "I'm not defensive about it. Sometimes I'll ask the caller to define racism, and usually they're canards — such as any negative treatment of someone who's black makes someone a racist, which is preposterous. And, of course, I can cite my enthusiastic support for blacks like Tom Sowell and Walter Williams and Ward Connerly and Clarence Thomas. I support them because of their ideas and beliefs just as I've criticized Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright for what they've done and said."

This webinar will specifically address CA's human resources requirements.
California provides a unique set of regulations that must be followed in addition to federal law. Legal advice is expensive but necessary when dealing with many HR issues such as wage and hour concerns, hiring, performance issue or termination. Unfortunately many companies do not consult an attorney until the lawsuit lands on their desks. In this webinar you will have the opportunity to ask John Boggs, Council to the California New Car Dealers Association, any questions about HR law at your facility.
You will learn the answers to these questions and more:
• How do I calculate overtime pay in CA?
• Is it legal to use an online job application?
• Can I fire someone when I have never given them a disciplinary warning?
• Should I conduct background checking prior to hiring?
• Do all employees need a job description?

Obsessed: Clarisonic Deep Cleaning Pore Brush
I had heard friends rave about the Clarisonic Skin Cleansing systems, but I tend to be very skeptical when it comes to beauty tools. Then a few weeks ago Clarisonic came out with a brush head that works to give an even deeper clean; and now I'm hooked. If you like scrubs, this little gadget will be life changing.
To buy: $149, sephora.com
This sleeker modern version is the latest of Clarisonic's skincare brushes; it's a tad smaller than the original and a lot more portable–great for my tiny little apartment with limited storage. All the bristles in the brush heads move more than 300 times per second, giving you a clean that is removing six times (yes, six!) the amount of make up than when you're doing it manually. Their newest innovation, the Deep Pore Cleansing brush head, is my personal favorite.
To buy: $40 for two, sephora.com
It's perfect for the oily days of summer–especially after a workout. You will feel your skin not only become more balanced all over but smoother and more radiant. I feel a huge difference in the way my pores feel, even in those tough spots around my nose. My skin also absorbs moisturizer better, so it never feels dry. Another great benefit is that from my foundation to blush goes on much smoother and you can see a significant difference in the final result. I'm officially converted! Have I convinced you yet?
Have you tried a cleansing face brush before? What did you think? Share your thoughts below.

You have to hand it to Johnny Crypt. We emailed him these 20 Questions and he responded within a half hour! That's a Metal Sludge record! That says either he loves us and wanted to answer right away, or since he's out of L.A. Guns he has all the time in the world and doesn't have anything better to do. Well, either way, he answered all of our questions, so props go out to Johnny.
1. Now that you have left one of the biggest rock-n-roll bands in history, what the hell are you going to do now?
Johnny: hmmm damn i didn't even think about that one… ummmm maybe porno you know you guys gave me a pretty good penis rating…
2. Steve Riley said that you "overreacted like a lot of other people, thinking a tour with the old lineup was imminent". Now that you look back at your decision, do you think that is true?
Johnny: No I really don't think I overreacted… just gotta go with my gut feelings
3. In your letter saying why you left L.A. Guns, you said the following: ?I've been doing this for over 25 years and although I haven't been famous all that time, I do know the mechanics of the business quite well.? Our question is, when were you EVER famous?
Johnny: Ahhh good question… I thought I was there for a minute or two… but now that I look back on it.. you're correct I never was.
4. Who was a bigger pain in the ass: Ralph Saenz, Tracii Guns, Jizzy Pearl, Chris Van Dahl or Steve Riley?
Johnny: Ralph was a pretty big pain in the ass at times, but I think we all were at one point or another.
5. Now that you've left L.A. Guns, you can be honest with us: How many wigs does Tracii Guns have?
Johnny: damn you guys are ruthless….
6. When did you realize that L.A. Guns might be a thing of the past?
Was it when Ralph left to go back to his COVER band?
Johnny: Never thought they were a thing of the past.. I just didn't see much of a future for me there.
7. If you could be a tampon for a celebrity, who would you choose?
Johnny: Fiona Apple
8. Other than L.A. Guns, what current 80s band do you like to goof on the most?
Johnny: I don't even pay attention to them anymore.
9. Do you secretly hope that the new bass player Stefan Adika fails miserably and that all the fans hate him?
Johnny: Nah Stef is Cool…. no wait..wait YEAH FUCK IT!!!!!! hehe
10. Have you ever felt sexually attracted to Gideon, the dude that runs the Electronic Gypsy?
Johnny: is that wrong???
11. Can you name all the member of L.A. Guns since the very beginning?
Johnny: Well there was The original Darren.. then Dick Seargeant was on…
12. Where?s the strangest place you?ve ever pleasured yourself?
Johnny: Does right now count?
13. Who gets all the fat chicks in LA Guns? Definition: Fat Chicks are chicks that are 150 pounds and over, unless they are over 5'10" then 150 is acceptable.
Johnny: The bus driver got them all…
14. Can a California man be legally married to his widow's sister?
Johnny: Yes you can do anything here.
METAL SLUDGE SAYS: No you can't cause the man is dead. If he has a widow, that means he's dead.
15. What?s your record for banging the most chicks in one week?
Johnny: The question should be what's my record for banging the most chicks at one time.
16. Who's older, Mick Jagger or Phil Lewis?
Johnny: I think I am older than both of them.
17. Is it true that Tracii didn't allow you to ride in the bus with the rest of the band, but he made you ride in one of the road cases?
Johnny: Nah he let me have a bunk on the bus.. but I had to put a road case in there too.
18. Are you going to be bummed out when the new L.A. Guns album comes out this Spring and goes triple platinum and they headline a huge tour with Metallica?
Johnny: I'll probably kill myself
19. Will you go down a chick on the rag?
Johnny: Ok
20. Other than L.A. Guns, what current 80s band should call it a day and go home?
Johnny: It's all good.
So there you have it. The photo of Johnny at the top of the page was stolen from Renee's Metal Meltdown. If you want to visit Johnny's website, too fucking bad, he doesn't have one. But if you want to email him, you can do so at firstname.lastname@example.com

Ginger Beer
One fateful night in early 2010, Caroline Mak and Antonio Ramos decided to make their own homemade ginger beer. Things progressed quickly, with friends encouraging them to make other soda flavors and to sell at the Brooklyn Flea. Three years later, they have a production space in Brooklyn, and you can find their sodas on draft at restaurants throughout New York City. They offer new flavors almost weekly, with unique combinations, like Concord grape and fennel seed and raspberry and peppercorn. And if you don't live in NYC, you can still get a taste with this recipe for their original ginger beer.
1½ oz. fresh ginger juice 26 oz. water
2 oz. cane sugar ½ oz. dark molasses 2 pieces star anise ½ stick cinnamon ½ tsp. allspice ½ tsp. cloves 1½ oz. fresh lemon juice
Grate fresh ginger and squeeze out the juice through a strainer, discarding the pulp. Bring the water to a simmer. Add the sugar and molasses. Add the star anise and cinnamon to the water and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add the allspice and cloves. Steep in the hot liquid for 5 minutes. Strain. Add the liquid to the ginger juice and stir in the lemon juice. The liquid should be as cold as possible before carbonation, so place it in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. Pour it into a carbonation siphon with another 7-8 ounces of water (or however much you need to fill your siphon). Pop the CO2 cartridge into the siphon and shake the siphon for 30 seconds so the liquid absorbs the CO2.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Psychology › News Events and Publications › News › TU to participate in $3 million Oklahoma health initiative
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
The University of Tulsa is proud to be part of the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science & Technology (OCAST) three-year, $3 million health initiative to research the cause and treatment of diseases and disabilities affecting Oklahomans.
Jamie Rhudy, associate professor of psychology, will receive $135,000 for his research on pain and distress in premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a condition that impacts three to eight percent of women in Oklahoma.
Rhudy's research will examine pain sensitivity and the relationship between emotion and pain (subjective and physiological) across the menstrual cycle in women with and without PMDD.
"Results from this study can be used to increase our understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to PMDD pain and may ultimately provide insights into how PMDD pain can be prevented or treated through affective mechanisms," Rhudy said.
OCAST is Oklahoma's technology-based economic development agency. The 23 research projects funded under the program will investigate the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases and disabilities and facilitate the development of innovative health care products and services.

[689] Two-Antibody Screen with PMS2 and MSH6 Is Equally as Effective as Four Antibodies for Identification of Mismatch Repair Defects in 1000 Colorectal Cancers.
Mark Redston, Richard Lash. Caris Life Sciences, Newton, MA and Irving, TX
Background: Analysis of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status in colorectal cancers (CRCs) is commonly undertaken utilizing immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of MMR protein expression. Because MMR proteins function as heterodimers, abnormalities in MLH1 or MSH2 may be identified by corresponding loss of PMS2 or MSH6 respectively. We undertook this study to determine whether testing for MMR defects with only PMS2 and MSH6 is effective in identifying MMR defects in all four proteins.
Design: 1153 consecutive biopsies diagnosed with colorectal cancer at Caris Life Sciences from March 15 through August 31, 2010 were eligible for DNA MMR testing. 152 were excluded due to inadequate tissue (21), declination by clinician (73), or the presence of other conditions (13). IHC stains for MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6 were reviewed by a single observer (MR). MSH6 and PMS2 stains were reviewed first, and scored as either Intact (retained nuclear expression) or Deficient, including 1) absent expression (no nuclear staining) or 2) markedly reduced expression (<20% of nuclei with 2-3+ staining). MLH1 and MSH2 were independently scored according to the same criteria.
Results: 887 (84.8%) of 1046 CRCs had intact PMS2 and MSH6 expression, and 159 (15.2%) had abnormal PMS2 or MSH6 expression, including 135 (12.9%) with absent PMS2, 18 (1.7%) with absent MSH6, 2 (0.2%) with markedly reduced MSH6, and 4 (0.4%) with absent PMS2 and absent or markedly reduced MSH6. Subsequent scoring of the additional MMR IHC stains revealed that all 887 cases with intact PMS2 and MSH6 also had intact MLH1 and MSH2, while 147 of the 159 cases with PMS2 or MSH6 abnormalities also had absent MLH1 or MSH2 expression. The only CRCs with discrepant results were 6 (0.6%) cases that had absent PMS2 only and 6 (0.6%) cases that had absent MSH6 only.
Number of CRCs | PMS2/MSH6 Result | MLH1/MSH2 Result |
887 (84.8%) | Intact | Intact |
147 (14.0%) | Deficient | Deficient |
12 (1.2%) | Deficient | Intact |

Sticking to three basic principles when using antimicrobial wipes in hospitals is all it could take to reduce the incidence of MRSA according to new research from the Welsh School of Pharmacy.
Led by microbiologist Dr Jean-Yves Maillard, the study into the ability of antimicrobial-surface wipes to remove, kill and prevent the spread of such infections as MRSA, has revealed that current protocols utilised by hospital staff have the potential to spread pathogens after only the first use of a wipe, particularly due to the ineffectiveness of wipes to actually kill bacteria.
The team is now calling for a 'one wipe – one application – per surface' approach to infection control in healthcare environments.
Disinfectants are routinely used on hard surfaces in hospitals to kill bacteria, with antimicrobial containing wipes increasingly being employed for this purpose. Antimicrobial wipes were first introduced in 2005 in hospitals in Wales.
The research, supported by a grant from the Wales Office of Research and Development for Health and Social Care, involved a surveillance programme observing hospital staff using surface wipes to decontaminate surfaces near patients, such as bed rails, and other surfaces commonly touched by staff and patients, such as monitors, tables and key pads, which were later replicated in the lab.
A three-step system was also developed to test the ability of several commercially available wipes to disinfect surfaces contaminated with strains Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA and MSSA. The system tested the removal of pathogens, the transmission of them, and the anti-microbial properties of wipes.
It was found that the wipes were being applied to the same surface several times and used on consecutive surfaces before being discarded. It also revealed that although some wipes can remove higher numbers of bacteria from surfaces than others, the wipes tested were unable to kill the bacteria removed. As a result, high numbers of bacteria were transferred to other surfaces when reused.
Dr Gareth Williams, microbiologist at the Welsh School of Pharmacy who presented his findings at the American Society of Microbiology's 108th General Meeting in Boston Massachusetts, said: "Our surveillance study in its own right has been highly revealing in that it has highlighted the risks associated with the way decontamination products are currently being deployed in Welsh hospitals and the need for routine observation as well as proper training in the use of these wipes in reducing risks of infection to patients.
The team also believe that claims of effectiveness, such as 'kills MRSA', are ubiquitous on the packaging of antimicrobial-containing wipes.
Dr Gareth Williams continues: "Methods currently available to test the performance of these products may be inappropriate since they do not assess the ability of wipes to actually disinfect surfaces. We have developed a simple, rapid, robust and reproducible method which will help identify best practice in the use of the wipes.
"On the whole, wipes can be effective in removing, killing and preventing the transfer of pathogens such as MRSA but only if used in the right way. We found that the most effective way is to prevent the risk of MRSA spread in hospital wards is to ensure the wipe is used only once on one surface."
It is anticipated the research will promote a UK and worldwide routine surveillance programme examining the effectiveness of disinfectants used in hospitals, and if applied will help assure the public that control measures are being carefully scrutinised would undoubtedly be beneficial.

Free agency is over.
Not officially. But if you're a free agent and you're still available, there's something wrong with you.
Tiki Barber's still available, and there are many things wrong with him. For starters, he's 36 years old (89 in running back years) and hasn't played professional football in half a decade.
So the lack of interest in Barber isn't completely surprising. Still, I figured someone would've taken a chance on Barber during the free agency process.
Unfortunately for Tiki, significantly younger and more reliable backs such as Ahmad Bradshaw, DeAngelo Williams, Cedric Benson, Ronnie Brown, Marion Barber, Jerome Harrison, Darren Sproles and Ricky Williams were available for teams to pick from.
The Miami Dolphins bit (pardon the pun) and brought Barber in for a visit earlier this month, but nothing has come from that. No other visits have been reported.
In fact, Barber, who was such a big story when he announced his intention to return to football back in March, has seemingly been forgotten by the mainstream football media the past two weeks. The story of his comeback attempt was novel because he went out in Barry Sanders fashion and was now crawling back after failing in the world of television. And if that didn't make compelling enough copy, he was reportedly doing it because he could no longer pay the bills.
But we were mired in a lockout-dominated world then, and now we have real football to analyze and discuss. Tiki doesn't intrigue us anymore, just as he doesn't intrigue general managers and scouts anymore.
This whole ordeal is quite sad, and yet it's also a little bit funny.
It's funny because, even while he tried to repair his image and redeem himself, Barber and his agent were making the media rounds with a macho mentality. Back in June, Tiki's rep, Mark Lepselter, was telling us that two teams were showing "serious interest" in his client and that "we feel like we already know where we're going."
Either both teams' interest suddenly faded, they're taking their sweet-ass time to make their offers, or Lepselter was lying.
Let's face it: he was lying in an attempt to drum up interest in his client, and it didn't work. Now, he's sitting and waiting for Miami to call.
And if the Dolphins don't call, Barber might be done. Because even when a few running backs get hurt during the preseason, I'm betting that the majority of NFL teams won't look to Barber and his baggage to fill in.
Mike Hart, Laurence Maroney, Dominic Rhodes, Kevin Smith and Brian Westbrook remain team-less. Once they're all gone, I might consider Tiki Barber.

The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols used for the Internet. With UDP, computer applications can send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set up special transmission channels or data paths. UDP is sometimes called the Universal Datagram Protocol.
How to send UDP broadcast
It's possible to use UDP broadcast with PySymbian (e.g. with ad hoc Wi-Fi networks on the N95). However, the operation is slightly different from that of the standard Python libraries. There are two primary issues:
1) You do not need to (and indeed cannot) call socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1) to enable broadcast transmit. Also, the address "<broadcast>" will not be recognized. Use an explicit 255.255.255.255 instead.
#broadcasts "hello" to all machines on the local subnet, on port 8100
outsock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
msg = "hello"
port = 8100
outsock.sendto(msg, ("255.255.255.255", 8100))
2) You must bind to the address 0.0.0.0 to receive UDP broadcast packets. This will bind to all available interfaces. This corresponds to calling bind with an empty string in the standard Python socket implementation. Do not bind to the external IP address of the machine!
This example reads a packet from a UDP connection, and will respond to broadcast packets:
# receives a single packet, including broadcast packets
self.insock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
(msg, addr) = recvfrom(65536)
As a further quick note, it seems that in the pys60 socket implementation, you can use nonblocking sockets by calling socket.setblocking(False). However, this only works for recv() and not for recvfrom().
If you need nonblocking behaviour with recvfrom(), use socket._recv_will_return_data_immediately() (which returns True if packets waiting) to test if there is a packet waiting, then call recvfrom() as required.

Research Interests
Dr. Inouye has worked with bumblebees, euglossine bees, pollinating flies, tephritid flies, hummingbirds, and wildflowers, on topics including pollination biology, flowering phenology, plant demography, and plant-animal interactions such as ant-plant mutualisms, nectar robbing, and seed predation. He has worked in Australia, Austria, Central America, and Colorado, where he has spent summer field seasons since 1971 at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL). His long-term studies of flowering phenology and plant demography are being used now to provide insights into the effects of climate change at high altitudes.
Dr. Inouye teaches courses in ecology and conservation biology at the University of Maryland, and has also taught at the University of Colorado's Mountain Research Station, the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, and with the Organization for Tropical Studies. He is the founder and moderator for the Ecological Society of America's ECOLOG-L listserv list, and serves on the Boards of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign and the USA-National Phenology Network.

Aerosmith/Guns N Roses
It dawned on me the other day as I was on the air that Aerosmith and Guns N Roses come from 2 different eras, yet seem to be very similar.
I tossed it out on Twitter and got a couple of odd responses...people didn't seem to feel the same way. I'm clearly ok with people having a differing opinion than mine, but I still feel that my point is valid and I'll explain why.
Aerosmith formed in the early 70s in Boston, Massachusetts and are rooted in the blues. Guns N Roses were formed in the mid 80s in Los Angeles and are rooted in the blues. The blues background is only the start of the comparison. While the blues has influenced both of these bands, it's also influenced almost every other band throughout history. So lets expand our comparison.
Lets turn to the frontmen. Steven Tyler slithers around the stage with a mic stand that is wrapped in scarves. His vocals scream from the rafters. Tyler in his prime was able to hit high notes that most lead vocalists could only dream about and his random scatting gave him a signature sound. As for Axl Rose, you could say he has a similar style to Tylers. Guns have often noted that Aerosmith was an influence on the band and it shows.
A virtuso guitarist also exists in both bands. Joe Perry has also contributed to the band by co-writing much of Aerosmith's material. While Slash isn't known for his writing, he is a memorable lead guitarist that is recognized by his top hat and low slung guitar. Their styles may not be the same, but you could almost invision Perry and Slash swapping places and fitting in seemlessly.
Both bands feature underrated bassists that contribute strongly to the back beat of the band. Tom Hamilton even co-wrote "Sweet Emotion" with Tyler. McKagan's strong backing vocals helped add to the sound of the band.
While I was thinking about writing this I took a listen to GNR Lies and realized that the song "Move to the City" was essentially an Aerosmith song. Put Aerosmith in the studio with this song and you have a song straight off of an early 'smith album.
The bands have shared the stage, played each others songs and in Aerosmith's case...have been listed as an influence by the other. The interesting thing about the comparison is despite all the similarities many Aerosmith fans dislike GNR. So take it for what it is...two rock bands that are the same in many ways and different in many others, oh and the fact that they both copied the Stones. Haha.

There is all sorts of stuff here. Please have a browse through. There is a good chance that you will find something of interest
For kayaking information of all sorts, there is an excellent site called Kayarchy. Well worth a browse
Sea Kayak Accommodation in the UK
Our own bed and breakfast, Strumhor is the only B&B in the UK that offers sea kayak guiding, rental and coaching.
But there are some other great places to stay and paddle:
We just love taking people here. Excellent accommodation and a huge variety of trips to do. Close to Arisaig, Moidart and Ardnamurchan.
Ariundle Bunkhouse - Loch Sunart
The Ariundle Bunkhouse is located near Strontian in Sunart. Very comfortable accommodation in the heart of the lovely Sunart Oakwoods. From here we can explore the beautiful and sheltered Lochs Sunart, Moidart and Ailort. In the right conditions we can venture to Ardnamurchan and a short drive will take us to the stunning beaches and skerries of Arisaig
Outfitters and equipment
If you need any equipment or decide to buy a kayak while you are in the area, our friendly outdoor equipment shop can help. Dave Bleazard who owns and runs the shop is an outdoor activist with loads of experience of mountain and water sports, so he is well placed to advise you and carries an excellent range of products.
If you are thinking of buying a composite sea kayak you should have a look at North Shore Kayaks. They are superb. We have North Shore Shoreline, a Calypso and a Calypso II double kayak of our own.
For handling, performance, features and especially quality, North Shore kayaks are second to none.
We use P&H Cappela and Wilderness Systems Tempest Sea kayaks. We don't have any relationship with Wilderness Systems but if you want a plastic sea kayak rather than a composite kayak, the Tempests are excellent and we strongly recommend them.

'Lay The Favorite' Trailer Is Full of Gambling and Death Threats in the Las Vegas Sun
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 29, 2012 | Comments (4)Any film that gives Rebecca Hall a shot at a starring role seems like it would have to be a good idea, but unfortunately Lay the Favorite didn't get very good reviews coming out of its debut at Sundance, and our own Allison Loring bemoaned that the film "never seems to quite know what it wants to be." Still, Lay the Favorite is set to roll out in limited releases all across the world over the next few months, and a trailer has just been released to give us all a taste of what it has to offer, so we might as well give its sales pitch a gander. Director Stephen Frears's (High Fidelity) latest tells the tale of a chipper ex-stripper (Hall) who falls into a promising new career working for a career gambler (Bruce Willis), but runs into complications when she buts heads with her new boss' jealous wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Oh, and also there seems to be something about a budding romance with Joshua Jackson, who is playing a bearded nice guy.

- Her pussy becomes moist at the thought of his hard cock sliding deep inside her, his eyes locked onto hers while she tightens her pussy around his thick shaft, milking him as he fills her up completely. Her tits grow hot and her nipples harden, her pussy swells as it aches for his touch. Martin loves the way Zuzana tastes and he eats her with enthusiasm, telling her how beautiful her silky pussy smells and tastes. She allows him to enter her for the first time without protection. We see her juices glistening off his bare cock as it stretches her pussy hole, the wet friction causing his dick to fully harden inside her. Their love-making is intensely intimate and bursting with real feelings and passion. They have an emotional connection, a chemistry which heightens the scene and lifts it to another erotic level. This is not a typical-porn performance, it's an incredibly honest sex scene capturing shared pleasure, real orgasms, and genuine sex between a man and women in lust.

Date 2009-12-08 Availability unrestricted Abstract The theoretical focus of this study is Meaning in Architecture. The study does not draw from history or popular culture for meaning, but will aim to transcend Post-modern concepts by focusing on the contemporary condition and archetypal forms as a result of history and popular culture.
This is done through the use of fractal geometry and deals with the questions that arise regarding signification. Fractals can be considered a subdivision of the language of mathematics and will be utilised as mediation between the reality of our world and the generation of form for the purpose of design. This is explored in two analogies, Architecture and Mathematics; and Architecture and Language. Through this process, subjectivity relating to form is removed as the design was developed in conjunction with the area in which it manifests, through the transformation of quantifiable entities into form. The programme and the process have become a unified whole in that mathematical concepts were utilised to design a building to house people involved with mathematics. The aim of the design proposal is to contribute to the urban landscape of Tshwane by allowing access to facilities in which training in mathematics and computer science can be achieved and to allow individuals to come to a place of self-actualization.
The design is defined as a snapshot of the contemporary condition and therefore makes use of passive and active technologies to create a habitable environment. It is imperative to realise that society is in a process of transition and this can be embraced by combining 'green' and 'non-green' design approaches, while working towards more energy-efficient design solutions.

Last Date for Regularisation of Illegal Colonies in Punjab Extended till October 25
The Punjab Government, in the absence of receiving good response, has decided that the plot holders and colonisers can still get their plots or houses regularised after October 25, but with a rider, that too up to November 5. The plot holders will have to pay a compounding fee of 20 per cent while colonisers of 50 per cent.
The decision was taken at a high-level meeting presided over by Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal and attended by Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Industry Minister Madan Mohan Mittal, Revenue and Public Relations Minister Bikram Singh Majithia, PWD Minister Sharanjit Singh Dhillon and Local Bodies Minister Anil Joshi besides Chief Parliamentary Secretaries Som Prakash and KD Bhandari.
In addition to this, the Punjab Government has also exempted holders of all plots and colonies developed before 1995 from getting themselves regularised under the regularisation of illegal colonies scheme.
Now, the condition of generating application number slip online by the applicant himself has been withdrawn for the convenience of the applicants. Now, this acknowledgement receipt/registration slip shall be generated by the concerned office on submission of manually filled application form.
Approximately, 40 per cent of identified plot holders and 30 per cent of colonizers have applied for regularization of plots or colonies under the scheme.
The government has received more than INR 125 crore as regularization fee as of now. Sukhbir ordered officers to accept acceptance of forms both manually and online.
This is being done to facilitate people to approach the authorities as they wish. Applicants are now also being given the facility to deposit online also.

On the Street: a Veteran's View of America
By August H. Mallory
On this cold and chilly saturday morning and as I stand outside of the seattle union gospel mission to grab some breakfast I cannot help but notice the number of men and the few women who come to the mission to get a meal. I remember reading some history on rescue missions and shelters, they were once established for men dependent on alcohol and drugs, but as time went on the need for rescue missions became greater, the great depression of the 1930s brought on a different arena for rescue missions as the depression hit at the heart of america, people begin to feel the pinch of unemployment and poverty across america, and the need for rescue missions and other faith based shelters were in high demand, but even today the need for more shelters and shelter beds are in demand. with people losing jobs and losing their homes the need for shelters and shelter beds are even greater now.
As I wait to be called inside for breakfast, I see a great number of military veterans who rank highest amongst america's homeless population, men and women who fought for this country have now found themselves let down by the very nation in which they gave their time and their lives for. as a U.S. Navy Veteran I keep asking myself why is it that we as vets go into the military to gain special skills to prepare us for outside employment can never find the jobs that match our skills, and even when we go to all of these trade schools and major universities we are still left standing in the cold. we served this country, and the best america can do is leave us standing in long lines waiting for a meal. this totally unfair. an absolute slap in the face. I keep asking myself, what did I do this for if I am going to be treated in such a manner. whatever happened to veterans preference when it came to employment.
For some strange reason that is a thing of the past, however I would like to thank President Obama for speaking out on the behalf of veterans, President Obama never served in the military so he really doesn't know the struggles that veterans are going through, but he does know what the struggles of being an african american is, and as an african american the struggle for equality still exist in america.
People of color do rank highest amongst the nations poor and homeless. I suppose I should be greatful though, when I look at other countries and what they are going through. I guess living in america isn't so bad.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously? | 1 You are always righteous, O LORD, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? |
2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their heart. | 2 You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts. |
3 But thou, O Jehovah, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. | 3 Yet you know me, O LORD; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter! |
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end. | 4 How long will the land lie parched and the grass in every field be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked, the animals and birds have perished. Moreover, the people are saying, "He will not see what happens to us." |
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan? | 5 "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan? |
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. | 6 Your brothers, your own family-- even they have betrayed you; they have raised a loud cry against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you. |
7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. | 7 "I will forsake my house, abandon my inheritance; I will give the one I love into the hands of her enemies. |
8 My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her. | 8 My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest. She roars at me; therefore I hate her. |
9 Is my heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour. | 9 Has not my inheritance become to me like a speckled bird of prey that other birds of prey surround and attack? Go and gather all the wild beasts; bring them to devour. |
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. | 10 Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard and trample down my field; they will turn my pleasant field into a desolate wasteland. |
11 They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. | 11 It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares. |
12 Destroyers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace. | 12 Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe. |
13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. | 13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. So bear the shame of your harvest because of the LORD's fierce anger." |
14 Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. | 14 This is what the LORD says: "As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them. |
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. | 15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to his own inheritance and his own country. |
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people. | 16 And if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the LORD lives'--even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal--then they will be established among my people. |
17 But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith Jehovah. | 17 But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it," declares the LORD. |

Also making its debut will be a Hollywood Jem doll from "Jem and the Holograms," as well as toys from Transformers and My Little Pony.
Toy exclusives make up a key part of the Comic-Con experience; people are wiling to shell out hundreds if not thousands of dollars for toys that will be available only at the convention.
Hasbro unveiled its official line-up of limited edition action figures and assorted playthings that will be offered exclusively at the annual San Diego celebration of all things geeky.

One of the highlights will be a Star Wars collector's pack, featuring one character from each of the six movies in a hexagon packaging which resembles the packaging abandoned by toy company Kenner in the 1970s when it chose one with a black and silver look. Expect to shell out $79.99 for the set, which also comes with a hidden Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite figure in the centre.
Marvel characters will have a presence with an Uncanny X-Force collector's pack featuring Wolverine, Archangel, and Psylocke from The Fall of Archangel storyline ($44.99), plus a Masters of Evil pack (Baron Zemo, Radioactive Man and Tiger Shark, $29.99). The piece de resistance, however, may be the giant SHIELD Super Hericarrier that is four-feet long (!). If you include the packaging, it's five-feet long. The cost: $129.99.
There are also two G.I. Joe editions – action figure of female ninja Kim Arashikage ($14.99) and Joe/Transformers mash-up H.I.S.S. tank with Shockwave decoration ($64.99). Speaking of Transformers, there will be a Terrorcon Cliffjumper figure ($24.99) from the Transformers Prime TV show, plus a combiner set where five figures link together to become the Decepticon Bruticus ($99.99).
On the softer side, Hasbro will have a special edition of a Jem and the Holograms doll. The Hollywood Jem 12-inch doll will sell for $125. Also on tap is a Pegasus pony from the My Little Pony line ($19.99), which has become a surprisingly popular property at Comic-Con.
The toys will be available starting July 11, commonly known as Preview Night.
