A remote, Israeli desert town is the setting for this droll, endearing comedy about an accidental cultural exchange that very quietly says some very important things about contemporary Arab-Israeli relations.
The eight-man Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra, under the direction of stiff, unsmiling conductor Commander Tewfiq (Sasson Gabai) and his undervalued lieutenant, Simon (Khalifa Natour), has been invited to Petach Tikva to participate in the inauguration of the Israeli city's new Arab cultural center. The international invitation is a big deal for the government-funded group, primarily because their budget is up for a review and in an age when the bottom line easily trumps the classical Egyptian music the octet plays, there's a good chance that, after 25 years, the orchestra will be silenced for good. But if their reception at the airport is any indication, the Israelis may care even less: Their hosts have clearly forgotten about their arrival, and rather than contacting their embassy, Tewfiq insists they shift for themselves and arrange their own transportation to their destination. The band's lanky, Chet Baker loving ladies' man Khaled (Saleh Bakri) is too busy flirting with the woman at the information desk to notice that she's put the band on the bus to Beit Hatikvah instead of Petach Tikva, and by the time Tewfiq realizes the error, it's too late: The band, spiffy in its immaculate sky-blue military-style uniforms, is stranded in a small desert town, and the next bus isn't until the following morning. Luckily, they're taken in by local cafe owner Dina (Ronit Elkabetz), forthright, frankly sensuous divorcee who first offers them lunch, then a place to stay for the night. She'll put Tewfiq and Khaled in her small apartment, and arranges for the rest of the orchestra to stay with acquaintances; Simon and three of his bandmates wind up in the home Itzik (Rubi Moscovich), an unemployed who lives with his parents and whose wife is openly hostile toward her Arab guests. Tewfiq, meanwhile, is obviously uncomfortable with Dina's lack of inhibition -- she couldn't be anymore different from his late, Egyptian wife whom he still mourns -- but not entirely immune to her obvious charm.
"Not many people remember this [story]," the film announces at its characteristically modest outset. "It was not that important." Though Israeli writer-director Eran Kolirin maintains that level appealing understatement throughout this winning, enormously charismatic comedy, the story he tells is important in its own quiet way. With an artist's appreciation of color and composition, and a dead-pan sense of the absurd that's not too far from the poker-faced humor of Aki Kurismaki, Kolirin subtly hints at how age-old tensions and deeply ingrained distrust between Arabs and Jews affects even the simplest interactions, even between officially "friendly" Egyptians and Israelis for whom the events of 1967 and 1973 are still considered recent history.

My debit card info was stolen through PayPal. no OT pleeze
I checked my bank account online this morning and found a substantial amount of fraudulent charges made through my PayPal account. I called PayPal and they are refunding my money and are investigating the charges. They said it looked like a "credit for cash" scam. The money was being sent to an entity in Canada.I called my bank and canceled the debit card associated with the account (on the recommendation of PP) and the person helping me said that she would NEVER use PayPal. She said that she sees more of this kind of activity through PayPal and Amazon than any other online sites. (This could be because they handle an enormous amount of transactions.) We have two separate checking accounts. I use one mainly for sending checks for things for which I can't use my debit card or online banking (gifts and the like) and I only keep enough in this account to cover these types of expenditures. She suggested that I opt out of overdraft protection on this account and use it for any shopping purchases made online or by phone, only transferring in enough to cover my purchases. That way if someone tries to get money from my account, OD protection won't be there to pay out. So, I have been on the phone for hours today with PP & my bank, had to request fraud alerts through the credit bureaus, go get a temp debit card, yada, yada. Really crappy day! Dear Karma, I have a list of people you missed. |
Notify your bank now. Federal law says you have only 2 business days to do this to avoid liabilitly over $50, and after this the limit rises to $500. Don't wait until tomorrow. Phone the bank and cancel the card immediately. Some debit cards have their own rules that are more lenient on cardholders, but call the bank now anyway because it's better to follow federal law than some private contract that card issuers can more easily weasel out of.
Try to quit using debit cards, except the kind that requires you type in a security PIN. Credit cards provide a LOT more consumer protection, such as for reporting loss or theft (60 days, $50 liabilitly limit), and cancellation of charges for undelivered, incorrect, or bad goods or services (burden of proof is on card issuer, whether or not they can collect from the merchant, but don't expect them to admit this or follow the law willingly). |
Quit using cash so much, too. Nothing beats credit cards for security, and they're cheaper than cash. OTOH the bank was wrong about PayPal, which is actually relatively safe. It's the nature of many businesses that use PayPal that results in so much fraud being committed through it, not the practices or structure of PayPal itself |
That's why I only have a credit card listed on my Paypal account. Yes, the account will have a limited number of transactions allowed and it won't be a verified account, but it's safer that way. Once you hit the transaction limit, just open a new account with another credit card and email. |
You may also not qualify for buyer protection that paypal offers. |
That happened to me 6 years ago. I checked my account and found that someone was using it to buy phone cards. It took about 2 weeks to get it all straightened out but Paypal was awesome about the whole thing, I got all my money back and still use PP.
Eventually, the local police department found out it was some guy in Atlanta using my account but they never pressed charges because it was less than $500 and in their words, "wasn't worth pursuing". Some people need a sympathetic pat on the head ... with a hammer. |

As usual, Don Sherman sums up the experience quite well. I completely agree the E350 coupe looks good but needs more power, steering without the artificial level of boost, and something other than all-season tires on these AMG wheels. What's worse is the requirement of 91-octane fuel for this rather lethargic 3.0-liter V-6.
I'm disappointed by the interior quality in the E-class coupe. I had really hoped Mercedes would disguise the C-class roots of this coupe with a much nicer interior full of high-quality materials and that distinctly Mercedes feel. Instead, only the design of the interior is nicer than the C-class's cabin, and the materials don't feel any better than those in the C-class. Even the steering wheel feels cheap compared with other Benz offerings in the U.S. It's one thing to charge $48,000 for a smallish luxury or sport coupe, but this coupe feels neither luxurious nor sporty.
Still, I think the E-class coupe will sell well enough. As a fashion accessory, this car is wonderful. The distinct shape with no B-pillar could trick some onlookers into thinking you're actually driving a CL coupe. From the outside, this car still looks the part of a Mercedes, and it will be right at home near trendy boutiques and fancy restaurants -- which is a good thing, because enthusiasts driving an E-class coupe will walk away largely unsatisfied.

I've been planning the transition to all-grain for quite some time and I finally was able to put together everything. My goal was to keep this mash tun as simple and cheap as possible while being big enough to handle 10 gallon batches. The cooler I decided on was the 60 quart Igloo Ice Cube cooler with 'ultratherm insulation'. This cooler is plenty big enough to handle large 10 gallon batches and easy on the budget at $25. Hopefully the 'ultratherm' insulation will keep the temps in range for the full mash time. Here is a picture of the cooler: I discovered from a few other posts that the stock bulkhead could be removed and the hole was the perfect size for a 1/2 MPT coupling. This keeps me from having to drill a hole in the cooler, and I kept the stock bulkhead around in case I decide to use this for a cooler in the future. Another plus about this cooler is that there is no insulation where the bulkhead is. This allowed me to keep my bulkhead fittings very simple (and cheap). Hopefully, this lack of insualation in this area won't result in heat loss. For the bulkhead fitting, I reused the stock igloo bulkheads soft rubber gasket, and plastic gasket ring. If this worked for the stock bulkhead, I figured it would work for my purposes. Since I am going to use a CPVC manifold. I used a 1/2 CPVC MPT adapter as the male portion of the bulkhead. I also used rubber hose gasket on the outside portion of the bulkhead, and screwed the valve on the end. I tested this out, and it doesn't leak! I am happy with this set up because it was super cheap: Valve $6 Hose Gasket $1.50 / 10 pack CPVC 1/2 MPT $.50 3/8 Hose Barb $2.50 On this inside I fitted a pretty basic CPVC manifold. I had to put a 90* fitting in because the bulkhead comes in at a funky 45* angle. I tested this out as is and it drains all the water out except for an inch or so at the bottom. The bottom line for everything was $40. I can't complain with the price tag, lets just hope this thing will make some beer! My next job is to the drink the beer on tap so that I can make room in my fermentation chamber for my first all-grain batch. Let me know if anyone has any recommendations or comments. -Erik
that should work just fine. nice job.
That is very nice!
Marbles baby, marbles.
Looks good. Maybe some scoring on the side tubing.
Same cooler I use but with a ss braid. Toughest part was getting the pickup tube to the floor of the cooler. You should be very happy.
Nice! I have the exact same cooler, and have been thinking about doing this exact same thing with it. What are the dimensions of the PVC apparatus, or would a braid be equally as effective, and you could kind of tip the cooler to drain it all the way? Thoughts? Thanks for the great instructional post! Off to get the parts tomorrow!
Very nice, I also use that cooler. I just set up an elbow joint and attached it to my SS braid. Works very well for me. Thanks for the post.

Did you check to see how much wort your going to lose? I built a similar manifold for my 48 qt cooler and found that I lose almost 1/2 gal. I'm thinking of making a copper false bottom and a custom fitting filter bag that I'll be able to remove after sparging. Maybe I'm crazy Bull
Nicely done! I recently went A/G with the same cooler + another one as an HLT. I also do fly sparging with a manifold mounted underneath the lid. One issue I had during my first batches, was the difficulty of hitting the right strike temperature (and thus I mashed too low and got somewhat "thin" beer). I'm getting ready for my next batch, and this time I have BeerSmith set up with a Specific Heat of 0.450 for the cooler, and I hope I'll be hitting my mark better this time.

LAS VEGAS, NEV (January 10, 2011) The fuse has been lit for Dynamite pitting two Top-10 pound for pound fighters in an explosive showdown! Las Vegas first world title fight of 2011 will feature World Bantamweight Champion FERNANDO Cochulito MONTIEL defending his title against two-division world champion NONITO The Filipino Flash DONAIRE in the latest chapter of the storied México-Philippines rivalry, Saturday, February 19, at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Promotions, the Montiel-Donaire world title tilt will be televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark, beginning at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast.) The broadcast will open with undefeated NABO/NABA/WBC Continental Americas welterweight champion MIKE JONES defending his titles against Top-10 contender JESUS SOTO-KARASS in a rematch of their exciting battle which took place on November 13 under the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito pay-per-view extravaganza. The MGM Resorts Sports Books opening line has Donaire the betting favorite. Donaire is - 220 over Montiel who is +180. Remaining tickets to Montiel vs. Donaire, priced at $250, $125, $50 and $25, not including applicable service charges, can be purchased at all Ticketmaster locations (select Smiths Food and Drug Centers and Ritmo Latino). Ticket sales are limited to eight (8) per person. To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Mandalay Bay at (877) 632-7400 or Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Tickets also will be available for purchase at www.mandalaybay.com or www.ticketmaster.com. Eighteen years ago I promoted a fight with two 108-pound world champions which was one of the greatest events I ever promoted -- Michael Carbajal vs. Humberto Gonzalez at the Las Vegas Hilton. It proved to everyone that dynamite can come in all size of packages, said Hall of Fame promoter and CEO of Top Rank, Bob Arum. Montiel vs. Donaire at Mandalay Bay on February 19 will feature a matchup between two hard-punching bantamweights that is every bit as explosive as Carbajal-Gonzalez. Its a cant- miss fight and the fans will be assured of seeing a dynamite event "It is a very important fight for me and a great opportunity to prove that I am one of the best fighters in the world, said Montiel. I expect a tough fight, but I also expect to win" Fernando Montiel is the best fighter I have ever faced and certainly the toughest challenge of my professional career, said Donaire. Its going to be a battle of strength and will. Im leaving nothing to chance in training and when the final bell rings on February 19, the Philippines will have another mark in the victory column against México. Montiel vs. Donaire is a terrific way to kickoff the season premiere of Boxing After Dark between the two biggest little guys in the sport, said Kery Davis, senior vice president of programming for HBO Sports. Fans fights are in for a big night, particularly with the Mike Jones and Jesus Soto-Karass rematch leading off our telecast. Richard Sturm, president of Sports and Entertainment for MGM Resorts International, said, What an exciting way for Mandalay Bay to kick off the 2011 boxing schedule. This sensational match-up between two fabulous champions, Donaire and Montiel, will certainly bring an electric atmosphere to the Mandalay Bay Events Center and to the fans from around the world. Montiel (43-2-2, 33 KOs), of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, México, is only the fourth Méxican fighter to win world titles in three different weight divisions, joining Hall of Famer-elect Julio César Chávez and future Hall of Fame inductees Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera. Undefeated since 2006, eight of Montiels last ten victories (eight were world title fights) have been by stoppage. Donaire (25-1, 17 KOs), a native of General Santos City, Philippines, now living in the Bay Area of San Leandro, Calif., is a consensus top-10 pound for pound fighter. He enters this fight riding a nine-year, 24-bout winning streak, which includes an IBF/IBO flyweight title knockout victory of defending champion Vic Darchinyan, and a fourth-round blasting of former WBA bantamweight champion Wladimir Sidorenko in his last fight on December 4.Nine of Donaires last 10 victories have come by way of knockout. Co-promoted by Peltz Boxing, Jones and Soto-Karass return for an immediate rematch of their November 13 brawl. After Jones decked Soto-Karass in the second round, Soto-Karass came back to almost pull out the victory in a fight most ringside fans and media thought could have gone either way. In fact, Jones second-round knockdown of Soto-Karass provided Jones the one-point margin for a razor-thin majority decision victory instead of a Draw. The judges scores were 95-94, 97-93 and 94-94. Jones (23-0, 18 KOs), of Philadelphia, PA., has been attracting rabid fans to his fights in the friendly confines of Atlantic City and Philadelphia. He took on his biggest challenge on the biggest stage he has ever fought on when he tangled with Soto-Karass, successfully defending his titles and adding the vacant WBC Continental Americas welterweight title. Considered one of the hottest prospects in boxing, six of his last nine victories have come by knockout. Victories over Brazilian strongman Juliano Ramos, Henry Bruseles, ending his five-year winning streak, Hector Muñoz and Irving Garcia, have catapulted Jones to the top of the ratings, where he is ranked No. 2 by the WBO, No. 3 by the WBA and IBF, and No. 4 by the WBC. Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KOs), of Los Mochis, México, boasts an impressive 13-2-2 (one No Contest) record, over his past 18 fights, dating back to 2005. The only other blemish was a sixth-round technical loss to Alfonso Gomez last year. Highlights of that period include knockout victories of former world champion Vince Phillips and undefeated contender Michael Rosales in WBC Continental Americas welterweight title fights in 2006 and contender David Estrada for the vacant NABF welterweight championship in 2008. He is currently world-rated No. 8 by the WBC. Doors will open at 4:00 p.m. PT with the first bell at 4:30 p.m. PT. The HBO-televised fights will begin at 6:45 p.m. PT.

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.

larger puzzle between Russia and the United States this past weekend at
the Munich Security Conference. The public negotiations between U.S. Vice
President Joe Biden and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov were
tense, but both left the meeting talking favorably about the U.S.-Russian
relationship. But there was another American powerhouse in Munich and not
by coincidence.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was at the conference to
accept an award for his past role on the international stage, however it
seems that Kissinger's principal role on that stage is not over. Kissinger
was been virtually subcontracted by the new American Administration under
Barack Obama to deal with the Russians well before the inauguration even
took place. Kissinger has a long and sordid history with the Russians. He
is a Cold War veteran who understands what Russia wants and what it is
willing to trade to get it-an essential skill for any successful
negotiations, and something the Russians respect.
Kissinger quietly visited Moscow on behalf of Obama in December meeting
casually with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and secretly with the real
dealmaker, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Now he's returned to the
negotiating table in Munich. But Kissinger has never been formally
recognized as part of Obama's plan. This is because Kissinger isn't
formally part of the U.S. government and as a Republican who worked for
Nixon is despised by many within Obama's party.
But these are hardly the only meetings that touch the Russians. Obama's
public team is busy too. Biden met with the Russians in Munich over the
first Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I). U.S. Central Command
Chief Gen. David Petraeus toured the Central Asian states to broker a deal
on new routes to Afghanistan without taking into account the larger deal
on the table with Russia. And Hilary Clinton is being as active as one
would expect the Secretary of State to be. It isn't just that all are
talking on different things, but that none of the talks seem to knit
together into anything holistic. Put another way, Moscow feels it is
receiving schizophrenic signals from such a scattered approach
If anything, such an approach is undermining the Kissinger effort, which
is attempting to forge some sort of grand bargain that includes the
Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty, the soon-to-expire START, NATO
expansion to Ukraine and Georgia, U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD)
installations slated for Poland and Czech Republic, Russia's push for
preeminence in Central Asia and routes for the NATO through former Soviet
turf to Afghanistan.
Thus far in the talks, Kissinger has not budged on any major items of
friction. This is certainly something that has gotten the Russians'
attention -- they were pretty sure they held the upper hand -- and in fact
Kissinger has explicitly noted that the United States had no intention of
trading an Afghanistan supply route for a recognition -- in public or
private -- of a Russian sphere of influence.
The Russian leadership is well aware that it is operating on borrowed
time. The Russian demographic picture is nothing short of horrid, but
there currently there is a bit of a respite. Russians born during the
1980s Soviet babyboom are now having their own kids. This is slightly
delaying the enervating impact of a population that is simultaneously
dwindling and aging. But after the next three to five years, all trends
are down. This is not to say Russia as a state will die in the next few
years, but instead that it needs to push back western influence as far as
possible before Russia's (probably terminal) decline begins. So it looks
as if the Russians are pulling back from demanding a deal on the entire
picture and working from the short list of items which are most critical
because these are the items that change the strategic picture in ways that
most worry the Russians.
On that list lies NATO expansion, BMD and START. The NATO item is fairly
self-explanatory: every country that joins NATO is one less that can be a
buffer between NATO and Russia. But BMD is a more complex issue. Russia's
real concern with BMD in Poland is not BMD, but U.S. boots on the ground
in a former Warsaw Pact buffer state. It is uncomfortably close for
Moscow. While it is certainly uncomfortable with the long-term trajectory
and implications of a renewed American focus on BMD, in this case, it is
mostly a useful way to publicly attack the developments on the world
stage, harkening back to the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
But the granddaddy of them all is START. Renewing the treaty would keep
the Russians and the Americans at precisely the same level of strategic
nuclear arms. This is far more than simply ego. START allows Russia to
demand American attention at any time on any strategic issue -- that's
what happens when the other guy has as many nukes as you do.
US policy for the past decade has been that START does not need to be
renewed (it expires Dec. 2009) because the Russians cannot afford the
price in dollars or skilled manpower to maintain their deterrent. Why
bother negotiating a treaty that will limit American policy options when
there is no need to give concessions to the Russians? From the Russian
point of view a continuation of START limits the Americans and all by
itself keeps the Russians in the game. But an end to START forces the
Russians to compete on everything, and there are not a lot of fields in
which the Russians can consistently outcompete the combined West.
And so the willingness of Kissinger, Biden and Clinton all to put START on
the negotiating table is a gesture that the Russians could not fail to
notice. In fact, negotiations seem to already be affected. Russia gave a
little on the US plans for a Central Asia route to Afghanistan: on Feb 9
Kazakhstan -- which hardly even breathes these days without checking with
the Kremlin -- announced that they would allow American military shipments
to Afghanistan. Just a small taste of what it might look like to work with
the Russians.

Clik Elite Contrejour 35 bag review
Jun 19, 2011 Photography
Recently I was in the market for a new camera bag. I had a Lowepro Slingshot 300 aw camera bag that was just over one shoulder. This bag was great for just carrying it around town and on short trips. However lately I had been noticing two issues with the bag. The first was that the top compartment zipper was constantly splitting and coming open so any gear inside had the potential to fall out without me knowing. The second issue was that the bag was constantly sliding around my waist while riding my motorcycle even with the waist strap on. Riding one handed on a motorcycle trying to adjust the bag as it slides is not the best thing to be doing. For those reasons I started looking for a new bag. I was looking for two main things in a new bag. The bag had to be a backpack style with two shoulder straps and a waist strap. The second requirement was that it had to have a side entry to the camera compartment. My cousin had purchased a couple of bags from Clik Elite and was saying a few things about his bag. I went to their website and checked things out but never purchased anything. After months of dropping the subject I went back to their site to see what they had. I was thinking that the Clik Elite Contrejour 35 was way to large of a bag and it was just outside of my price range. After a while I decided to check to see the measurements of that bag versus that of airline carry on luggage requirements. It is just slightly larger than carry on requirements but it should pass. I have not gotten a chance to test this yet though. I will be doing so later on in August when I take a trip down to the Houston Texas airshow. After seeing how close the measurements were I bought the Contrejour 35 instead of the Contrejour 40. I have taken the bag on several road trips to Baltimore Maryland, Washington DC and trips on the bike around Northern Indiana / Midwest Michigan. The bag was a little rough to carry around the first day because I was not used to carrying a backpack much any longer but after that everything feels great. Taking the bag on trips on the motorcycle is great as well. The last trip I took with it on the motorcycle it was raining fairly well. I put the rain cover on but because of the wind (70MPH on the highway) it did not like to stay on. I may have just not been pulling the elastic on the rain cover right enough but thankfully it is tethered so I did not completely lose it. I am considering getting industrial strength velcro and making two bands to go all the way around the bag at the top and in the middle for when I ride. Even with no rain cover on the bag held up nicely to the rain. My gear was all in plastic zip lock baggies just in case but everything was dry where the camera gear was. The only part that got wet inside was the top of the bag where the CF cards are stored and it was soaking into the material. Overall I rather enjoy this bag and will have it for some time. Below are a few pictures of the bag. To view larger view click on the picture.
Front and side views of bag:
Back view of the bag. Able to put hydration pack in the back. No problems holding a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and several other lenses.
Side camera access. It is possible to get a camera with a battery grip in/out. The red piece in the unzipped area is a blanket. The main compartment goes all the way from the top to the bottom of the bag with access through the side of the bag. To fit a laptop in you need to slide it in from the top not the side.
Top compartment showing digital media storage areas and other little pockets. Main compartment has a large zippered bag that you can put gear in so it does not slide all the way to the bottom.
I have had this bag for several months now. The more I keep using the bag the more I like the bag. Just this past weekend I went to the Wings over Houston air show in Houston Texas. I flew down with this bag and a small gym type bag for my luggage. No checked baggage for this trip at all. The backpack fit perfectly in the overhead bin no problems! Continental/United flights never even questioned if the bag was to large. After forgetting to empty a water bottle in the backpack and forgetting a fruit cup from the air show in my backpack I got stopped by airport security. They had to check my bag. It was so easy to walk the airport security guy where everything is and how to open the bag. He was impressed with how quick it was for him to search the bag. Then at the air show they check every bag coming in as well and it was a breeze. The only complaint I have is that I don't go on enough trips. Will need to work on that one!

Asian Mistress (18) Looking For A Toilet Slave
Name: Mali
Age: 18
I seek a male toilet slave to come live with me. I live alone in a nice apartment. If you live with me, you share same bedroom as me, but you sleep on floor like a dog. I will use you as my toilet and also for sex. I have never been a mistress before but am a naturally dominant person and intend to live my life as a mistress. I do not seek a fling or a play mate. I seek a long-lasting relationship with a submissive man who wants to eat my shit and drink my piss. I own a toilet box but sometimes I will just sit on your face and shit because I love the sensation of scat smeared over my butt.
You will be disease free and willing to relocate and live with me (I'm in the U.S). I am a bitch mistress who will treat you like a piece of utter shit. I believe that I should be treated by you like a living Goddess. You, on the other hand, are scum, crap on my feel, a nothing little piece of shit. If you behave then I may, may, reward you. If you are bad, then Mistress will punish you severely. I am very skinny but I eat a lot so I also shit a lot. You will need to eat my shit twice a day. I also love to keep myself hydrated so there will be lots of piss drinking for you.
Serious replies only!
Hi Mistress I am male 24 from toronto. I have served a few mistresses as a toilet. Please contact me firstname.lastname@example.com
hello mistress im willing to be your toilet and eat all your delicious shit. thats the only reward i need. I live in US
hello, goddess, i have a big dick, a taste for your piss and shit, i have no limits, i am a virgin. i live in the usa. i will be willing to be YOUR SLAVE FOR LIFE, I am 14 years old and my email is: firstname.lastname@example.com, and my pic is a question mark, i shall show you my face and dick later, either on email or person. I have no diseases, only dying ADHD, i will be without it completely in a a few months. k? email me,please,goddess

Recipe by CJCOLLINS
"Delicious and easy recipe for sugar snap peas!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 pound sugar snap peas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
kosher salt to taste
I just bought some snap peas because they looked so good and I didn't know what to do with them. This is a GREAT recipe. To the person who gave it only three stars: you didn't follow the recipe, you didn't use the ingredients, you didn't follow the directions and said you "aren't sure if you will try it again" you gave three stars to your OWN recipe, not this one. Post your own mediocre recipe for snap peas and don't comment on one that you didn't even follow.
My family was not crazy about this recipe. Little oily. I did not have shallots, so I used sweet onion. I thought it was just okay.
324 Ratings
This is a GREAT recipe. The natural flavor of the sugar snaps are utmost. One thing to remember, which I didn't do my first time making this recipe, is to remove and discard the stem end and the string from each pod. If you don't do this you will be chewing on the stem and string and will have to spit it out which is not too appealing, other than that this is a very, very good vegetable dish. Way to go CC!!
Great flavor, simple, quick. Thanks for the recipe. I used garlic and onions (both finely chopped) instead of shallot since i didnt have any.
used two tablespoons finely chopped onions, 2 cloves of garlic, poured olive oil on the beans, sprinkled some onion salt, shook the contaner up, stuck it in the toaster oven and voila! Snap peas that taste like it's from a fine dining restaurant! Husband's exact words, "These are seriously the best beans I've ever had," a couple of times. Thank you and God bless.
I forgot to add the shallot but this was still terrific. Also used dried thyme. Served with a salmon and rice dish (also from this site). Flavors complemented each other very well. This was such a quick and easy recipe especially since I used a bag of frozen sugar snap peas. Will make this many more times.
This was delicious, a nice change from stir frying pea pods. I used pea pods that we had frozen from our garden. I didn't have any shallots on hand, so I sprinkled a little onion powder and garlic powder with the rest of the seasonings and olive oil in a bag, then spread out on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Bake for the time and temperature given and they were wonderful. Thanks for a great new side dish recipe.
Easy and tasty. If you use fresh snap peas, trim off the ends and pull strings like another rater mentioned. I put all the ingredients in a bowl and tossed them before putting them in the oven. I put some some garlic powder in used regular onions since I didn't have any shallots. Delicious.

I was reading an article about a gunfight Wild Bill Hickok was involved in with a guy named Davis Tutt. It is said that this is one of the only truly documented quick draw gunfights that actually happened and was witnessed by a number of people. Long story short, Hickok drew aimed and fired hitting Tutt center mass at 75 yards, killing him. Tutt missed. No small feat.
It got me thinking then about how those old gunfighters had to rely on supreme accuracy based on a number of reasons, such as weapon and ammo reliability and relatively low ammunition capacity by todays auto pistol standards. Today's handguns are much more reliable, and more so the ammo we use.
I then wondered how much the high capacity auto's we use have an effect on our accuracy. If we had fewer rounds would we concentrate more on being that much more accurate, as well as where we placed our shots?

Gear Review
Well this helmet is great. One thing I've always had problems with helmets is at how bulky looking they are, and this K2 is not. It is warm inside.. i have the white one and people think I handmade the ear pads. Crazy cool design. Loving it, The only problem I have with it is that you can't disconnect the audio wire...if not it would get a 5 for sure..

The Weeknd - Live For
Artist: The Weeknd
Featuring: Drake
Producer: DannyBoyStyles, The Weeknd, Jason "DaHeala" Quenneville
Album: Kiss Land
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 16 votes )
Unable to Watch this Youtube Video? Click here to play in Soundcloud instead.
A few weeks back, Drake quashed rumors that he and The Weeknd had been beefing, and ignited fan anticipation, by Instagramming a photo of himself in the studio with his OVOXO colleague. Today, we get our first glimpse at the results of those sessions in the form of Live For, a freshly-released standout off Abel Tesfaye's upcoming major-label debut. Coming on the heels of Booth-approved single selection Love in the Sky, this cut finds Weeknd struggling with the effects of sobriety over DannyBoyStyles and Jason "DaHeala" Quenneville's handclap-laced percussion and dreamy guitar arpeggios. Though he's feeling low, the artist is well enough to contemplate a "threesome [and] then some" with some ladies at the local spot. On the back, Drizzy breaks out the double-time bars as he tantalizes listeners with cryptic reflections on his personal life. Feeling it? Then be sure to cop Kiss Land when it hits record stores and online retailers on Tuesday, September 10.

Dear Blizzard....

Please fix how ridiculously OP Protoss 4gate is. It's like an easy win button with almost no counter...Oh I mean cure u can win, but the odds are stacked so heavily against you its not even funny. I used to roll toss and use it too, then i got bored with how cheap it was, now I'm rocking the most underpowered and imbalanced race, Zerg :P So Blizz, when u got time...fix the damn 4gate strat! Maybe limit the number of gateways per Nexus? so maybe 2 GW per nexus? lol. I can already hear all the Protoss players cocking their rifles, ready to assassinate me....heaven forbid they have to learn how to play the game :P
Computer crash + Cryostasis
by II_Seraphim_II on Comments
So, my computer crashed recently and I lost al my data. A shame since Darksiders was finally starting to get good :( and I lst over 50hrs of Fallout 3 data...damn, gotta get on that again. Now, 'm playing Cryotasis...this game seems very innovative and exciting but for the love of God, it is the worst optimized game EVER. I swear, FPS in the sub 30 zone is a common occurence. No, my computer isnt crappy. I just beat crysis on max at 1080p without my FPS going sub 30 once, excluding the final boss, whom for some reason completely killed my FPS...i mean dropping below 20. My computer is fine...the game is just terribly optimized...oh well, I'll take it in pieces and throw in some BFBC2 and SC2 online in between :P

This seemed like a good time to start my blog
by II_Seraphim_II on Comments
Hey guys, what's going down? Anyways, I figured I might as well start my blog since I got nothing better to do. So what's going on with my life? Hmm lets see, My girlfriend left me and got engaged to some other guy, I've been deathly sick for the past week, and one of my puppies died on Christmas morning....what an auspicious week this has been :s
Lets get down to the details -
Puppy Death:
I started to notice that my puppy was acting wierd on Dec 22, so I took it to the vet and he said it was fine. 2 days later I noticed it was really acting strange and looking sick so I took it to the vet again and he said it was pretty ill. He gave it a shot and said it had a 50/50 chance of survival. Well, it lost the battle, and died on Christmas morning :( R.I.P. lil Storm.
The Sickness:
It all started late Christmas eve...I wasnt feeling too hot. I went to bed early, and woke up feeling like death, I spent all Christmas puking so I guess it was good luck that I was home alone for Christmas with no plans to ruin.
The G/F:
Yeah lol. Sometimes you gotta laugh at your own misfortunes or you'll go crazy. Long story short: I had an Egyptian g/f with a sick mother who wanted her to marry an egyptian muslim (im not egyptian and im not muslim). Her mother died recently and in an attempt at attonement, she decided to follow her mother's wishes and dumped me and got engaged to some Egyptian guy. I especially like the way she informed me about this over facebook lol. Oh man...well, my older sister says it could be worse. I asked her how, exactly, it could be worse, and she said she would get back to me on that....Well, I will say one thing, atleast my week was eventful lol.
Anyways, that's the recap on what's been going on in the life of Seraphim. Tune in for the next episode of "Carribean Life: Drama in Paradise"

BlackBerry Bold 9790 Smartphones Blackberry Bold 9780 video review The latest blackberry on the block may look like an exact replica of the 9700, but there are more differences that meet the eye; most notably, the inclusion of the new Blackberry 6 OS.

Pansy Summer Pitcher
Make an easy craft project from Cathie & Steve for Plaid like this one this summer. Paint a cute glass pitcher with pansy flowers. This will be so fun to serve all your guests during a barbecue. Be sure you read the important tip at the bottom of this project.
- 16008 - Gallery Glass Window Color - Kelly Green, 2 oz.
- 16014 - Gallery Glass Window Color - Amethyst, 2 oz.
- 16425 - Gallery Glass Window Color - Citrus Yellow, 2 oz.
- Glass carafe Egg carton Wooden skewer
Begin with a clean glass carafe. Balance the carafe on an egg carton.
Gallery Glass works best when applied to a flat surface so you will need to work in stages. Allow for dry time and then rotate the carafe on the egg carton.
Begin with the green Gallery Glass. Make a sweeping stem that begins at the base of the carafe and up to the top. Add small stems off the large stem.
Paint an organically shaped circle around each small stem with the yellow Gallery Glass. Drag a bit of the green from the stem into the yellow paint with a wooden skewer.
Add a drop of the purple Gallery Glass to near the base of the petal.
- Allow to dry overnight. Hand wash inside only. Wipe clean on the outside.
Tips: Never shake Gallery Glass! If you do you might get an air bubble. If you get an air bubble, just pop it with the end of a sewing pin. If you make a mistake, wait for it to dry and just peel the mistake away.

So, you don't have to seal the gallery glass. I am sure I have some of that around here somewhere.
Great idea! I have several carafes and vases I nay paint. You can also do this using acrylic paints if they are sealed with a clear sealer after painting has dried.

text: Discover how one Canadian town deals with the annual arrival of migrating polar bears. Each October, the remote Canadian town of Churchill in Manitoba plays host to some very unusual guests. More than a thousand hungry polar bears gather there to await the refreezing of Hudson Bay and then move out on the ice in pursuit of their traditional winter diet of seal. The world's largest land carnivore, polar bears can be very dangerous for humans as well as sea creatures -- but for tiny Churchill, they also are a tourist-dollar bonanza. Since Churchill is smack in the middle of the polar bears' migration route, the town's yearly bear encounter is a busy and tense period for the local wildlife department. Although the townsfolk have learned to appreciate the animals from a safe distance, the roughly 15,000 tourists who stream into Churchill from around the world often ignore the safety precautions prescribed by local officials. Single-mindedly intent on catching a close glimpse of the bears and perhaps lulled into complacency by the town setting, some human visitors are unmindful of the hazards posed by creatures that are massive (most weigh more than 700 pounds), fast, easily camouflaged against the snow -- and very unpredictable. Scientists who study the Churchill bears have been able to collect invaluable information to add to the world's knowledge of polar bears. Experts worry that if global warming continues to shrink the animal's natural habitat, the polar bear population will diminish over the next 50 to 100 years. Regardless, however, the town of Churchill will continue to host these majestic, fascinating, and troublesome but profit-generating creatures during their annual sojourn. |

removing hardwoods around cabinets without taking out the kitchen counter
dOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA ON HOW TO REMOVE HARDWOODS FLUSH WITH THE KITCHEN COUNTER WITHOUT REMOVING THE CABINETS? An exceptional tool that will work?
I was at Harbor Freight a few days ago and saw this.
http://www.harborfreight.com/3-3-8-e...saw-94626.html I have know idea how well it works, but for $70, it might be worth a try. I am currently installing new hard wood floors and cabinets. This is exactly why I don't want to run the hardwood under the cabinets. I know I wont ever be replacing these floors again, but it bugs be to create a problem for someone else. |
When you say HARDWOODS, do you mean trim, flooring .... or what? Are there more than one type of wood?
A Toe Kick Saw is the tool to use. I'd also pick up an Oscillating saw while I was there to cut all the way into the inside corners.
A lot of people slam Harbor Freight for low quality. Fair enough, If you are a professional and use these tools on a regular basis, you would probably be better served buying higher end equip. For those of us that need specialty tools for a 1-time job, I either rent, or go to HF.
Last year, I put down 1,400 sqft of 20" Terazo tile. I got the 10" wet saw from HF for ~$300 and it worked like a champ! We did the job over 3 weekends, so renting would have been a pain, and cost just as much. Don't forget to look for online coupons. 20% off is pretty standard there!! |
same goes for their Oscillating saw |

text: The Song of the South wiki last edited by fables87 on 11/09/14 07:53AM View full history The three child protagonists are Johnny, Ginny and Toby, two white kids and an an African American one. Johnny is the grandson of a Georgia plantation owner and lives with her because his parents' marriage is collapsing. Ginny is the only daughter of a poor, rural family. Toby is a young servant. While the film was a 1940s hits and still relatively popular, there have been concerns of racism. Partly because Remus remains poor and in a subservient position after an implied lifetime of loyal service, partly because of taking an interest in the upbringing of white children rather than the black ones.

Write a ReviewFinish Peeling
By Kevin P. from Oak Point, TX on Apr 02, 2014
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
When we first received this table we were excited. We liked the look and the size was perfect for the location we had picked. The table has been sitting in our front entry for only 3 months now. Without anyone or anything touching it, the paint finish is peeling off. This failure started about a month and a half ago. The paint is not just peeling, the finish is cracking and literally jumping off of the table legs like it is under some sort of stress. This table is in our front entry and is the first piece of furniture visitors see when they enter our home. We are highly disappointed with this paint/finish issue.

Entry table
By Misty S. from Lemon Grove, CA on Mar 03, 2014
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The table looks nice but it is not very sturdy and had to be fastened to the wall to be safe. Also, I was a little disappointed that it was made in China. I would not have bought it if I knew that. However, I did not research were it was made before I bought it. I figured it was made in the same place I was ordering it from. I know better now.

Very Happy with this table
By Brooke H. from Fairfax, VA on Jan 20, 2014
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I searched a long time for a table that was the right size for my narrow hallway. This table fits perfectly and it looks great. I was amazed at how easy it was to put together. It took me no more than 15 minutes and didn't
really need instructions. The only issue I had was a very small amount of a poor finish job in the back corner and one spot near a drawer. Very easily fixed with a regular black sharpe and barely enough to even mention but I wanted
to be fair in my review. I am very pleased with this table, it is sturdy, solid and looks great at a reasonable price.

With MINSERT, the Users Manual says I should be able to scale x and y geometry separately. The Users Manual says I should see:
Specify insertion point or [ Basepoint/ Scale/ X/ Y/ Z/ Rotate]:
But what I actually see is:
Specify insertion point or [Basepoint/Scale/Rotate]:
The available command options are the same whether at the command line or with Dynamic Input. I'd like to be able to scale X and Y independently.
Hmmm. I find that I can do it with some blocks and not others. What is the restriction?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by Alfred.NESWADBA. See the answer in context.
have not tried it, but one idea is to verify, if your block is defined with the option "scale uniform".
- alfred -

- alfred -
You are correct. Not only do we have the option of uniform scaling when inserting, we have the option during creation which locks the scaling.
I didn't find this in the help. Although Inventor has a WikiHelp I don't think AutoCAD does or else I'd add it.
