One other option for increasing the safety of that is by using the female condom because it has a flared protective ring on the outside. Not perfect, but a little better. The downside of the female condom is by most opinions, including mine, even the new one doesn't feel very good compared to the thinnest condom on the market. You also have to make sure you dont come out all the way and thrust hard back into the vagina, which may have opened more from later stages of arousal, and force the female condom in all the way and with it your bare penis.
Then we go to dental dams and gloves for protection for oral sex and manual sex. If your partner has latex allergies you can get nitrile gloves and maybe dental dams but not sure. A little research will uncover that. People say you can use saran wrap for a dental dam, however, I remember going down on a partner who had her period once and I could still barely taste the copper flavor. I'm not convinced, but maybe I'm wrong-- user beware on that one. Gloves are good to protect you mostly from things under your partner's fingernails that they missed because there wasn't a brush on the sink for scrubbing under nails like there is on mine now.
However, the scientists say you can transmit herpes 1 (HSV1) from a partner's mouth or genitals into your body via microscopic cracks and cuts in the skin on your hands. If you already have HSV1 then it doesnt matter. You cannot transmit it from hands to genitals or mouth as far as I know, although there are some scientists who claim transmission may be easier than believed. Gloves are also good for shielding your skin from HPV, which could then be inadvertently rubbed onto genitals or inside the mouth and rectum while in the flow and throws of passion. We'll return to the risks of throws of passion and limiting those in the super-safe sex section. To conclude this section, my method for using dental dams:
Dental dams will creep up off the vulva or anus during oral sex if you dont have the bottom corners held against the woman's body with your fingers or with clothespins if she's into that. Also, have the hottie recipient hold the two top corners against her body so the dental dam is covering her vulva/anus fully. It helps to lube the side against her with some water-based lubricant. One hot thing with dental dams is if she has a very sensitive clitoris, you can do harder stimulation to it with your tongue than she can normally take. The dam softens the resulting sensations she feels and it may be the perfect amount to take her straight to a nice orgasm if you keep it up. It also lets you get a bit more firey in your mindset and roughness in your touch. Only use water-based lubes with latex condoms, gloves, and dams. Virgin cocont oil, my favorite, can be used with non-latex safe-sexwear like Skyn brand condoms and nitrile gloves. Saran wrap as well if you are comfy using it.

I have used this for four years now, I am rarely loyal to products and compulsively try new things, but I have been so consistently happy with this product that I have stuck with it. I have combination skin with a tendency to break out and this product does not aggravate my skin, it provides effective sun protection and is relatively inexpensive for the quality of product IMO.
I use it everyday and have never noticed the tint of the product rubbing off on my clothes. It also helps my makeup last longer. The only bad thing about it is it sometimes causes my skin to feel a tad dry, but that is easily taken care of with a bit of moisturizer.
Overall, a great sunscreen and a staple for me!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After becoming sick of chemical sun blockers irritating my skin, I decided to try Clinique Super City Block SPF25.
This provides a slight tint, which leaves a small amount of ghosting on my skin. However, my skintone is very pale and this does the job of making my skin look more even, which works as a light foundation without looking like I'm wearing anything on my face.
This leaves my face looking slightly shiny for about 30min until it soaks in properly. This is hardly a moisturiser for my combination skin, and after wearing it a couple of days by itself, I decided to put it on after a light coating of Olay lotion. This did the trick! This method leaves me with moisturised, even-toned, sun-protected skin.
I've been using this for many months and I find it to be a pretty decent sunblock. It doesn't feel oily or greasy like other sunblocks, and I can put it on my skin after using moisturizers and still not feel heavey. I will definitely re-purchase :-) however I think i want to try out the spf 40 super city block first.
More reviews by kawaiishinichan
Got it as a sample, works relatively well. Not greasy and has a okay smell that doesn't stick to you all day. Pretty expensive though. :(
I tried a sample of this just to see if it was worth any hype and sadly to say, it wasn't. At least not for me. I've had better stuff from the drugstore. I was surprised it had a slight tint, because I wasn't expecting a TM. However, it wasn't enough to show on my skin, and I'm pretty pale (NC15). The worst thing about this wasn't that it was tinted, it was that it was sticky and hard to blend, felt like it took forever to settle into my skin before I could apply the rest of my mu. I expected better from Clinique, supposedly known for their skincare (?)
I have superdefence in comb oily - oily skin. and i love it more. Supercity Block spf 25 is more greasy and it doesnt sink into the skin as much as superdefence. when i touch my face i can feel it and i hate that sticky feeling. Even though superdefence is more expensive, i'll def purchase this one as it sinks in and doesnt leave a grimy feeling.
But, supercity block is good for travel etc and it is way cheaper. Nice tube. Lasts quite long. Hygenic. But i wouldnt repurchase it.
I hate this stuff...it clogged my skin like crazy. I sometimes stop using a product and then later try and use it again, but not this...I am actually quite scared of putting this on my skin. It also left me very shiny.
This is a good facial sunscreen in my opinion. It goes on easily and a little goes a long way, but my only complaint is that it makes my skin rather shiny, but this is easily fixed with a little bit of powder.
This cream is for me one of the best sunscreens. It is used very sparingly. At first it seems very heavy on the skin, but then it sinks and is indeed very light.
As sales person said, this cream has now been discontinued. The new one is in sheer version.
I like this product. Usually I don't like layering on so much stuff on my face so I opt for a moisturizer with SPF in it, but this is not bad at all.
Me, I have oily-but-dehydrated-slightly-acne-prone skin to begin with. My acne problem is mainly on my chin area; and I'm pretty much oily all over, no matter what moisturizer I use. Recently I started on the doctor-prescribed tretinoin gel, and was warned that I would definitely need sun protection. So I started the tube of this stuff I got a while back.
It's slightly tinted, not enough to cover any major blemishes but enough to even my skin tone, toward the white side of the scale. Once I was picking at the blocked pores around my nose causing it to turn red and blotchy. I put on my usual moisturizer and then the city block, and the redness was gone! I think it covered a bit of it.
City block is not too sheer when you put it on, nor is it oily/heavy. On my face, I feel the stickiness after I put it on so I add a layer of loose powder. Then throughout the day I'm almost not oily at all (of course, this is always the slightly autumn weather instead of the summer heat). As for the sun blocking part, I don't usually go out and sit in the sun for a long time so I don't really know. But my face looks whiter after I put this on. Oh, and I use a makeup cleanser to remove it at night.


text: Smarter Wood How many trees were felled to make the magazine you hold? I'll give you a clue: a lot--a shocking number. The actual total, along with an examination of how those trees became the paper this article is printed on, is in Don Webster's "The Paper Chase," along with the answers to some other questions raised in this issue: Where did the cedar shingles on your roof come from? What happened to much of the longleaf pine forest that once covered 93 million acres of the Southeast? Ten years ago this issue of Audubon might have caused all of us to push the magazine away in disgust and give up using wood products faster than you can say "tofu burger." But arboreal veganism isn't practical (try as you might, who doesn't handle paper or sit on wooden chairs?). Over the past decade there has been a realization that while we would prefer to leave our forests uncut, it is far better to replace them with tree plantations than with golf courses or housing developments. And that the products we might use in place of wood--including recycled plastic--take their own environmental toll. Even the Internet, which many tout as a way to reduce the demand for paper, has actually increased both paper use and energy consumption. What has changed is the way we log trees. There are still plenty of bad timber practices, as Ted Kerasote points out in "The Future of Our Forests," but there are also relatively good ones, and some that are getting better. The purpose of this issue is not to ask you to stop using wood products or to read this magazine only online. What we want is for you to think about where the wood you use comes from, and to try to choose wisely. There are alternatives. Let the companies you buy wood products from know that you care how trees are logged. As an organization, Audubon tries to buy products made in a sustainable way, and few wood products are purchased without knowing where they came from. Of course, you may still want to throw this magazine away in disgust (if so, please recycle it). Or ask why we don't use more recycled content (we're looking into satisfactory alternatives). But if you care enough to have read this far, if you care enough to ask these questions, then you need Audubon. This issue of Audubon is the last one I will edit. It is a magazine I dearly love. It has won many awards (most recently, we are proud finalists for four Utne Reader Alternative Press Awards, in general excellence, among others. More important, Audubon has changed many lives--mine included. Yours, too, I hope.

With preseason games under way the other girls and I are beginning to spend a lot of time at the Air Canada Centre. Always searching for style inspiration I had to talk to our in-arena host Kat. During my time on the Dance Pak it has been impossible not to notice and love her amazing and progressive outfits. While chatting, Kat described her camera-ready style as "tomboy chic". She always finds a way to add a funky edge to her feminine look and I think that is a great way to play with everyday outfits.
Thanks Kat!

Hi everyone!
This message is mostly addressed to Telltale support team. I've contacted them 4 days ago to warn them about a trick that allowed anyone to "buy" most of their games for free, a bug in the website that I've unintentionally used and immediately reported (issue-55260) since I'm quite honest. The day after, my account was blocked and I couldn't connect anymore (for no apparent reason), so I guessed that the team has read my message and was working on the issue. I couldn't retrieved my password either... until today. Now my account is working again, without the games I've obtained by mistake (of course). However, I'm a bit sad that, although the support team has read my message, I didn't get any answer such as:
- an explanation on why I couldn't play any of my other games during this weekend,
- an explanation on what I should do to recover my account (i.e. use the "Forget your password" tool),
- or a quick message to tell me if I've been of any help.
You're probably quite busy and maybe I'm not the only one who reported this huge problem, but any message from you I would appreciate! Thank you very much for your attention :)
EDIT: Oh by the way, I get the following message when I want to buy something: "Sorry, your account isn't currently allowed to make purchases from the Telltale Store." So not only I tried to help you avoid losing money, but moreover you prevent me from giving you some?! And still no answer from you... :(

GMP warns of phone scam on customersStaff Report | January 24,2013Green Mountain Power on Thursday warned customers that several attempts to scam its commercial customers over the phone have been reported.
The caller claims to be representing Green Mountain Power and requests the customer pay their account balance by releasing credit card information to the caller or paying their bill by means of a money card or other alternate payment mechanism. The caller also represents that the customer would have electric service disconnected if they do not comply.
GMP follows very clear processes when working with customers about paying their bills and advises customers that it would not demand credit card information or alternate payment mechanisms from a customer for any purpose. This is clearly a phone scam, GMP said.
Any customer receiving such a call should not provide the caller with any personal information, including account and credit card numbers, and should immediately contact the Vermont State Police or their local law enforcement agency.MORE IN This Just InDallas Taylor, a rock 'n' roll drummer who played behind David Crosby, Stephen Stills...

Bill and Sue Hodges of Mansfield are opening their home Sandtown Place for a Christmas Tour, the proceeds from which they will use to benefit lung cancer victim Bitsy Robbins and her family. Here, Bill Hodges is kept busy making sure the decorations are in place for the expected tour guests on Sunday from 2-6 p.m. Also, the home is on the Social Circle Candlelight Tour from 4-9 p.m. on Saturday and donations for the Robbins family can be made at the home at that time. Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased at the door. A new addition to the antebellum raised cottage home this year is a plantation-style kitchen with furnishings from the 1840s. Period antiques grace rooms throughout the home. Bitsy Robbins, 49, has stage 4 cancer and she and her husband Tommy are the parents of twin 12-year-old daughters. Her father, Richard Harris, is the pastor of Sewell Baptist Church in Mansfield where the Hodges worship. - Staff photos by Sue Ann Kuhn-Smith

Race night again at Lancaster Speedway brought the eager fans back to see some fender-to-fender action and they were not disappointed. The Lancaster Motor Speedway drivers delivered another great night of racing.
BUFORD Britt Wells will be leading the Buford Yellow Jackets into the 2009 football campaign, and the BHS coaches feel there couldn't be a better player for the job.
"It's like having another coach on the field," BHS defensive coach Jimmy Clyburn said. "On defense, Britt is basically an extension of me out there."
Wells, a captain, is a seasoned veteran on the defensive side of the ball starting at linebacker.
"I expect him to be in the top three at least in tackles and interceptions this season," said Clyburn.
The annual meet the Bruins featured a different format this season, but Lancaster Bruins booster club officials felt the change was for the better.
The event, held Thursday at Lancaster Memorial Stadium, featured a spotlight on the LHS fall sports teams.
"That's the purpose to put our fall sports athletes in the center of attention," LHS booster club president Shane Caroway said. "We felt real good about the event because we felt we had our best overall turnout in four years."
For the 40th time county rivals Andrew Jackson and Lancaster are set to battle tonight at AJ's Volunteer Stadium.
The annual rivalry game, which more times than not has kicked off the season, coincides with Andrew Jackson High's 40th anniversary celebration today and Saturday.
For the record, the series has Lancaster holding a 28-11 edge. Since this is my 32nd year at The News, I've covered the majority of the games. Most of the others I saw unless I was away at college.
The IAAF Jury of Appeals upheld the disqualification of Team USA's men's 4x100m relay team. The team was disqualified for passing before the zone on the exchange between Shawn Crawford and Darvis Patton. Patton was running the anchor leg.
The defending champion USA team had the best qualifying time of 37.97 seconds. At the Beijing Olympics last summer, the USA team dropped the baton and was eliminated.
Patton was part of the blown exchange in Beijing, along with Tyson Gay, who didn't run Friday because of a groin injury.
Lancaster native Mike Lucas, one who has had his share of diamond success on various levels, is the new Andrew Jackson High baseball coach.
Lucas, 53, replaces Andy Morton, who has left the Lancaster County School District for a teaching position in Rock Hill after teaching at Kershaw Elementary School. Morton, in two seasons leading the Volunteers, posted a 22-25 record, including a 13-12 mark last spring and two Class AA Upper State playoff berths.
AJ athletic director Dale Reeves said he's confident Lucas will do the job.
The Lancaster chapter of the S.C. Junior Golf Association garnered a second-place team finish in the annual state all-star tournament last weekend at the Pickens Country Club.
"This was our best overall finish as a team in our 15-year history," said Lancaster chapter director Raymon Chisom. "We had some outstanding play and I was really proud of the overall effort. Our chapter is right up there with the best in the state."
Greenville won the overall team championship.
BUFORD Andrew Jackson and Lancaster each were shutout winners to highlight action in the sixth annual Founders Federal Kickoff Classic at Buford High School's Jackets Stadium on Friday night.
The Volunteers of first-year head coach Elmer Bench posted a 7-0 win over Class AAAA Fort Mill and the Bruins followed with a 21-0 victory over county foe Indian Land.
Host Buford forged an early 7-0 lead on No. 1 ranked Central of Pageland, but the Eagles rallied for 16 unanswered points in a 16-7 comeback win.
As one county coach put it this week, the Lancaster County high school football season, opens with a bang.
"It's a lot like NASCAR in that they have Daytona to start the season, the 'Super Bowl of racing,' each year," said Indian Land High School football coach Mike Mayer. "With two county rivalry games to open the season, there's a ton of interest on the games Friday, much like our own Super Bowl, but in two different locations."
The sixth Founders Federal Kickoff Classic made its third appearance at Buford High School on Friday night. When the jamboree was first established, the main idea was for the event to be played on a rotating basis among the Lancaster County high schools.
Buford High has played jamboree host more times than any other school, but for good reason.

For those who have used flaked maize......I'm going to use 1 lb. in a 6 lb. partial mash. Does flaked maize become very sticky like flaked rye and benefit from the use of rice hulls in the mash? Or is it not a problem (sticky wise). Thanks. Justin
I used 2 lbs in a full mash (10lbs total grain). I had no problems with my sparge.
Good to know, thanks for the reply. Anyone else have anything to add?
No need for rice hulls. I've done 25% flaked corn without a problem.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Are you guys getting real flaked maize or is it rolled corn ? Where from ? How is flaked maize different from corn flakes cereal ? I was reading a brewing book that discussed flaked maize and they talked about how it was cooked with steam. (gelatinized). Here is a thread on a Corona Clone I brewed.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=26614
Getting back into brewing...
Yeap, I used 1lb in a 4lb mash with no issues fly sparging...

Sorry this isn't a plant question but I am looking for the old timey style of wire fencing called 'double loop wire fence'. My recently purchased 1950's farm house just screams out for this type of garden fence. My dad had it around his garden. My grandad had it around his. Now I want it around mine. I can find plenty of sources online but was wondering if anyone has seen it for sale in this area (anywhere within a days drive of Raleigh).
With my luck I would spend a fortune having multiple rolls of this sent here only to have someone say "oh, THAT style of fence. The old hardware store in my home town still sells that". It was popular way back in the 30's and 40's and they still make it. If I hadn't been grieving I would have gone outside and yanked all my dad had around his place and rolled it up and hauled it back here - but I think for what I want to do, fresh new rolls would work better. I have kept my eyes open for it whenever I travel around the state. Plenty of fencing stores have it as a special order item, I was hoping to find someone that actually has it in stock. |

Hi John, I've been told that Ace Hardware can order this type of fencing for you. Hope this helps. Judy |

Thanks Judy - I visit the downtown Raleigh store every once in a while and will ask them about it next time. |

Margaret Sanger and Birth Control
The right to choose motherhood was expanded and made more visible by activists like Margaret Sanger who promoted the development and use of birth control through various campaigns and publications. Early 20th century birth control advocates, such as Sanger, faced opposition from both religious and political leaders who viewed contraception as dangerous and immoral. She published the Birth Control Review and established what became Planned Parenthood, expanding knowledge about and access to contraception. Sanger's neo-Malthusian and eugenic convictions should be acknowledged as integral to her perspective, which was framed by biased ideas about who should and should not reproduce.

NOT pictured: RIMS Tube, PID, SSR, and heat sink.... I recently built this "RIMS box" to get the hang of using a PID and the RIMS first. I will install the RIMS tube on the stand and the components in the control box. Thanks to Tiber for the project box! A HUGE - LARGE - BIG THANK YOU to Paul Muth (P-J) fir all of his help so far!! Here is a parts list he put together! If someone knows how to display it open (without having to use the link) please let me know. I also have it in a Excel spreadsheet.file:///Users/robmay44/Library/Mail%...rts-List-2.htm EDIT: Link not working right see below.
Here is an image of the order list: Click on it to see an interactive Excel spread sheet where you can enter quantities. You might want to save the sheet to your system (If you want). Use the Tab key to navigate to the cells that can be changed. The Vendors and URLs are clickable to bring you to the items. The sheet is protected to allow ease of navigation. (NO password.) (That is - IF you have Excel on your system. I think?)Yambor44, I hope you don't mind that I posted this. Your link didn't work for me. I'm really pleased this is working out for you & I enjoyed the whole dialog and plan build. P-J
Now for the wiring diagram: (Click on the image for a full scale diagram. The full scale can be printed on 11" X 17" tabloid paper.) I think this is going to be an interesting build. P-J
Got all the rest of my stuff in yesterday. Getting ready to start on the box but I'm a little leery of cutting into it yet. Couple of questions from those that have been there: Whats the best way to layout the switches and plugs to be able to measure twice and cut once? Would a dremel with a cutting wheel be best for cutting the odd shaped plug holes? I plan on a hole saw for the big main power plug and step bit for the switches and sensor quick connects. Any recommendations or pointers would be most appreciated!
Well, I will trudge on ahead then... Getting this laid out (as simple of a box as it can be) is a little intimidating (to me). Trying to make sure the pids will fit and not hit the sides of the box when opeing and closing, keep everything in order so it plays well with one another, and laying it out so all of the wires are decently accessible is a task. I'm so afraid I will cut a hole and figure a better place for it AFTER thew cut, LOL. Anyway, here's a couple of pics of the "thinking" process. Trying to keep it simple and minimal for space sake.
Lookin good bro! That box looks familiar Looks like a great start. I'm sorry I can't offer any advice on cutting that material with a dremel, since I used a cnc mill. Maybe you could ask any local machine shops if they'd cut those out for you for cheap? Looking forward to seeing the final product! TB
Can I be the first noob to say....what is that??
A cotton candy machine.
I like to do the PID, switch, etc. layout in a computer drawing program and then tape that onto the panel. Then I can use a tiny drill bit or punch and set the holes correctly. My first use of a Dremel cutting wheel the other day was fun and although a bit messy it did the job for the PID cut out. Just buy a bunch of extra wheels and you should be ok. I broke my last wheel and had to finish the cut with a 4.5" wheel on my Angle grinder - that was not easy!
I used the same method. Can't imagine doing it any other way without it turning into an autocad project. Just be sure to leave room for labels and also for other PID's, swithces, etc. in case you want to add stuff.

During her love 'em and leave 'em dance number, J.Lo (at left)sang about packing up her Christian Louboutin shoes and leaving her man, only to roll off the back of one of her dancers and onto the floor. It may not have been the comeback performance Jenny from the Block was hoping for, but memorable nonetheless. And Insider gives props to any woman who can take a spill in four-inch wedges and spring back into full dance mode.

Solution. The Secret To Political Power Is Feeding The Poor.
Submitted by fiodax on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 19:50We can talk about liberty all we want but we will never acheive it unless we are actually able to diffuse the very real authority that the state holds over the people. What the constituation says is irrelevant if the state has another will and the authority to accomplish it. Their authority is established by the dependency of the poor upon them. This dependency is established through social welfare programs that feed, house, and provide other services to the masses from whom all political power throughout all of history is derived. The only way to fracture the polical power base of the state is to redirect the dependency of the poor away from the state, by meeting the needs in a superior fashion, much like what happens to a regime when sanctions are placed upon it and it is no longer able to feed its people. The people quickly turn on it and place their political self-determination upon whatever entity steps up to feed them. The poor I am talking about feeding are not only the innocent victims of social misfortune, but also the despised fraudsters who game the system in order to take advantage of it. If it were not worth it to the state to tolerate this fraud they would find a way to stop it, it really isn't that difficult to do, but they don't. Because it is worth it to pay for a man's food and even his home if he will reliquish his political authorty. The simple fact of the matter is that unless we are willing to make the sacrifice to take on the burden of the dependent class, the state will never give up its authority, and they shouldn't be expected to since by the nature of dependent transactions, they have secured it.
This truth has recently hit me as an epiphany (if you didn't know, an epiphany is a truth that when realized kind of makes you go "AH HA!"). It's really exciting to think about and the implications of it are truly profound. I have written about 20 pages in a journal of ideas relating to this epiphany. The ideas are somewhat jumbled and need to be organized, but they are powerful. I have been struggling with how I should begin to communicate this epiphany. It's one of those things that is very simple, so simple in fact that I feel like if I present it incorrectly it will be immediately dismissed. So I've been racking my brain about how to do it. How to write it, how to organize it. A video, a blog post, facebook? Well I've opted to just start telling it and those who have ears to hear will just have to hear it. This document is over 10,000 words long, I'm sorry for that, but it turns out that sometimes it takes a lot of words to explain a big idea, at least until that idea is fully understood (that is where I am asking for your help). Here is the very short version, if you find some merit in it, please keep reading:
- Our federal government is incompetent, corrupt, and in many cases evil. (duh)
- Their agents regularly commit acts of violence and fraud that are totally immoral.
- For some reason, even though their acts are immoral, I cannot resist them and my arguments against their immoral acts seem to fall on deaf ears.
- My avenues of resistance all seem to be fruitless, or worse, only serve to strengthen the existing system. I know many smart people that have offered up solutions, however none of those solutions seem to work as none of them are able to effectivly dislodge the authority of the established regime.
- I believe reason these things are so is that the federal government actually does have the authority to do the things they are doing, and they have garnered this authority by carrying out the activity that has historically always been used to transfer actual political power, feeding the poor.
- My epiphany is this: The secret to achieving political power is by feeding the poor, and the secret to achieving liberty is by feeding the poor in a way that the dependency resulting from the transaction is not able to be manipulated by a human or human institution.
Yes, that is the epiphany. Simple huh? You're probably tempted to quit reading now; it's such a basic and idealistic notion. But let me ask you to bear with me a bit, because if I can communicate this properly, you will see that it is an achievable method to displacing the overreaching power of our out of control government. I am writing this with some broad strokes and for the sake of getting it on paper I am making some historical and factual assumptions that I believe to be true but I will admit that I have not diligently researched the validity of every one of them. In fact I may in some cases be ignorantly assuming a progression of history that fits my narrative better than it fits actual history. Regardless, I believe my premise to be true, and I don't want mistruths or ignorance to detract from it if it is. Any input you could provide with regard to insight and truth would obviously be welcome, as my interest is to perpetuate an idea that can be used to establish liberty, and not to simply promote another misconception. That being said please consider what I have to say.
You've probably heard the old quote by Chinese Communist Chairman Mao, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." It is an idea that is almost universally held as true. That the state is able to maintain power because of what some call their "monopoly on the initiation of force", they are the only ones allowed to beat and jail people without being beaten and jailed for doing so. The fact that the state can arrest or even kill you is taught to be the reason why we so willingly submit to them. This idea is so prevalent that we rarely even question why one person who is dressed up in a certain uniform is allowed to do things to other people that if anyone else attempted they'd be arrested, committed, jailed, or possibly even killed. You pay your taxes, drive the speed limit, refrain from certain substances, and tolerate intrusive searches and accusals all because these things are either mandated or restricted by an edict from the state, and the state has armed enforcers that they employ to coerce your compliance. Sound about right?
What if I told you that this is all a very clever slight of hand? continue...

I would like to change the
I would like to change the notion of how these programs are recieved by those dependent upon them. Currently food stamps are called an entitlement. I would like to create a voluntary system where the benefits are called a gift. I think the mentality of this small change would be profound. One recieves an entitlement much differently than one recieves a gift. However, the only way it can be called a gift is if the resources are recieved voluntarily, not through coersion.

The middle class is being
The middle class is being extorted into obedience by the placement of ghettos full of a totally dependent population within their cities. The underfunding of these ghettos serves as a standing threat to the neighborhoods of the less dependent. Where would all those people go if they here homeless and hungry? The state uses the transfer of authority that is innate within transactions of dependency not only to rule over the dependent, but also to rule over everyone else.
The only way to remove this power is to obsolete their system of social welfare and create a system that ensures that the hand that feeds is not connected to the same body as the hand that wields the sword.

Rob their dependence. Transfer their dependence from the state to the private sector. Then they are part of our political base.
I remember reading in "The Laws of Power" that in order to maintain power: Make people dependent on you.
Of course! That is how the state draws its power. Walmart should create farms of people. (I'm only half joking)

Rockin' the 153!!!
Capita does it,, AGAIN!!!
On alternate plateaus of the universe there is war ravaging the galaxy.Celestial gods, once wielding insurmountable power, have been weakened by arrogance and overindulgence. In delirium tremens, they struggle to retain dominance over primitive creatures ushering a new era of fear.Eons of suppression and submission have given birth to vengeful beasts, opponents of galactic proportions. On the front lines are face melting Macroids morphed from organic matter and stellar energy. With arms of cosmic snakes, legs of half digested beings, and stomachs containing a graveyard of ships, they have appeared to devour interstellar power.As battles expose the mortality of those most high, a Horrorscope uncovers the trutheven a monolith of terrible power can be taken down with courage, conviction, and an epic bloodbath...
The Horrorscope FK was born as a late release limited edition board and is now one of the most sought after boards in snowboarding. Featuring pre-loaded positioning for expert level jibbers, and easy turnin, mindless shreddin for those intermediate riders that want to expedite the learning curve. The demand was so strong we made multiple production runs and still sold out before a single chairlift opened in North America. Transworld SNOWboarding Magazines 2010 test results held the Horrorscope FK as the #3 mens board in the world under $400, while it beat nine of the top ten boards on price. For 2010, weve responded to overwhelming demand by adding three more key sizes. The Horrorscope FK takes no effort! Stable at high speeds! Perfect for hangovers! Jib like a mad man!

This new comment system doesnt works well for me.
Indian leaders are far smarter than Indian Commentor on TE.
@ Ron Banerj
You want your India to join America
BUT... at the recent East Asian Summit in Cambodia--- India abandon America by not joining the American led "TPP " Trade Bloc
Although Pres OBAMA came to push hard for new members
Pres OBAMA was publicly humiliated and defeated when NOBODY (no new recruits) in Asia join his TPP Trade Bloc this time around
ON THE OTHER HAND --- India joined the China bloc --- ie the REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE TRADE PARTNERSHIP --- together with ASEAN, Japan, S Korea, Australia and New Zealand
American analyst noted this and call it the "POST AMERICA" era in Asia
Indeed - and India did not rush to help Vietnam vs China, either.
That is my real name (Simon Newman), I'm British. I'm sure China has a good relation with Pakistan, and would like to keep it that way.
My point is that China is not looking for a fight with India, and India is not looking for a fight with China, so a naval conflict is not likely. Both are more likely to get into disputes with near-neighbours, plus China has to worry about the USA.
"If I were an ASEAN member, I would be asking whether the US has enough longterm will and capital to provide the umbrella anymore"
Agreed. And that is the calculation China will be making.
China needs the Russian aviation industry
I think America and the EU should sit this one out. Asia's political climate bears terrible resemblance to Europe in the early 20th century. Too many swinging alliances and counter alliances are leading to mass entanglement. Its a building powder keg, just like before WWI, only this time its a potential nuclear powder keg. I think Obama's Asian pivot could be disasterous, if the region sparks off with a war. American's will not be so inclined to go to war just to break-up India, China and Pakistan. It sounds like another thankless job that cause American's more greif.
China's GDP is not reliable. But I have no clue of what you are talking about. May be your country works different than CHina and India cause you don't produce anymore.
I was told some poor American work 3 small jobs to meet his/her end.
I don't mean you are one of them, but I am not surprise when one has high blood pressure, Diabetic etc, the pharma-industry love them.
America and India are the world's largest democracies and have far mroe in common with each other than with Paks or Chins. The two great democracies are paragons of greatness and civilization, and must unite t destroy the evil forces on the planet.
May be you should be more precise which do you allude ?
To know Japanese Sushi is one thing but to understand/appreciate is another.
While China is careful not to push India into the arms of Americans, Indian sure do not show much evidence of reciprocation. Going by the comments of the Indians so far, I suppose they sure do not think that they need to do so.
911 was American retribution..
Since when American like yourself believe in Karma? Did you convert yourself as Dalai Lama's follower?
Hey, He did not believed in his own "exil" Karma.
Fairly accurate show of paranoia. I have noticed that Chinese commentors are more self-secure and self-possessed, while Indians like yourself and peddling theories of nuclear proliferation based on non-existent facts.
If Chinese can make friends in the region, so can Indians. Care to give it a try?
International law is an utter fantasy. Countries will act in their best interest. End of story. From time to time, those interests will be aligned with these "courts," other times they won't. Heavy U.S. naval presence in the Indian Ocean and East China Sea will accomplish more good than these sham tribunals ever will.
Military present don't bring food to them. Jobs does.
Better give them job and prosperity. Don't oppress the price of manufacture so they can work in decent condition. Make your MNC respect labor laws and environment, regulate use of chemicals on all area (food, cosmetic, clothes, farming...)
US military made a mess everywhere in the world, no peace. Even Okinawa people hate those criminal American GI stationed in Japan.
Sustainable is the Keyword of 21st Century.
I appreciate your clear view point of the situation.
Let's visit the Pushkar Camel Fair and shoot one or two camels for souvenirs. A Picture, I mean.
Exactly. Today war is geared for fantasy. The crusades relived over and over. Dick Cheney's passion for war, for example, for right or for wrong. What would matter is that both India and China might be mature enough, actually more mature than westerners and see the pitfalls of engaging each other. 1962 is a long time ago. Today, if China chose to control Africa and the pacific, and India chose Eurasia, they would be doing nothing less than what the colonials chose in the 19th century. But they won't engage militarily, certainly not of substance on the high seas. Why? Because today naval problems are two-fold. One, (if one looks at costs) take for example, little Iranian boats can cause havoc on an American super-fleet. Two, deterence is favorable for face-saving measures. Only insecure Texas and Colorado gun slingers do stupid half-a..moves to show that you can't fight a marginal war very well. All or nothing makes three. Simply world wars nets you nothing. We are globalized, and we need each other. Why sell the Chinese and Indians' logic short? They see this better than we do. It is why India did little after the Mumbai attacks. It is why "deterence until an agreement is sold to the right players" is the game in the China Sea of oil reserves.
looks like a Hollywood film in Cold War time.The question is that world politic should be so easy,so simple,or in other words,so cartoon pictures?
I meant nations act in self interest...

"Awesome. We used cheap-o red wine and triple sec, and instead of citrus, put berries on the side for people to help themselves. We also put some seltzer on the side in case people wanted a lighter drink. SO much better than those versions of "sangria" that use lemon-lime soda. No bitter or artificial aftertaste at all with this recipe! Perfect for..."
"I have made this several times pretty much exactly as directed. It is better out of the freezer because the onions are not as crunchy once they have been frozen and thawed, and the flavors have meshed more. I usually buy a rotisserie chicken, pull off all the meat, and use about 3/4 of it for this and 1/4 of it for chicken salad, then use the carc..."
"we really enjoyed these. I also used the Emeril's southwestern seasoning recipe, which makes 4 oz/1/2 cup exactly. I cooked the rice in my rice cooker with the seasonings, used cooked dried black beans instead of canned, frozen corn rather than canned, and smaller tortillas (made 20 with some filling left over, which we plan to use as a warm dip w..."
"This was awesome. I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs because it was what I had on hand. This should have been enough for 4-5 normal size servings, but my husband and I ate it in one sitting. I added it to my written recipe book (which is reserved for family recipes or ones that we intend to make into family recipes!)"
"This was good but I found it needed another ounce of baking chocolate to make it less sugary and more chocolatey. But this was personal preference as my husband and I both prefer dark chocolate over light/milk chocolate. Ate it over homemade brownies, vanilla ice cream, and fresh whipped cream.

"These were very good. I made a few changes- I used cold leftover bacon grease to replace 1/4 cup of the fat, left out salt (thought the bacon grease would make them salty enough), and used non-cultured buttermilk left over from making butter yesterday. They did not rise as high as some of the pictures, but they were still delicious. I think next..."
"very, very good, and very, very easy. I was actually kind of mad because people preferred it to my "fancier" butterscotch meringue pie when I made both for family event.

"I had never made a pie crust from scratch and was looking for something incredible and fail-proof...This recipe turned out very well; a nice balance to some very sweet pies. I used half butter and half crisco buttersticks, cubed and frozen before mixing. I also used ice water, and let the dough rest, wrapped in plastic, in the fridge for a while ..."

text: As we all know, any little advantage we harness can mean the difference between life and death or prison time and freedom. I had a thought today that I thought some of you on this forum might appreciate. Conventional wisdom tells us that getting the police dispatcher on the phone is something one should due ASAP (emphasis on ASAP) in a self defence scenario. When away from home, this will most often mean using a cellular phone. Unfortunately you'll also need to tie up one of your hands to operate it. I was given a Bluetooth wireless earpiece for my cell phone this Christmas, and the advantages soon became obvious. I can touch it once, say the word "police", and be in touch with the dispatcher immediately. I can leave the line open, and keep both hands ready/on my weapon if needed. Since I don't know anyone who is more effective one handed, I see this as a solid advantage. Also, I can talk on the phone while walking in a parking lot, etc., and "keep my head on a swivel" without restriction. Just thought I would throw that out there. You can get them for around $50 and they're great for driving also (not nearly so dangerous). Shoot well, stay safe!

One of the most significant things to emerge from the Tokyo Games Show was the existence of Gran Turismo HD as a real product, rather than just a tech-demo. Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi (known universally as Kazunori-san) held a press conference on Sony's stand at the show to explain GT HD, and we were subsequently lucky enough to be taken for a tour of the Polyphony offices and interviewed the great man himself.
But what, exactly, is GT HD? Well, it won't, as Famitsu erroneously reported, come in two SKUs, although as Kazunori explains, it will come in two parts in one box: "GT HD is two products in one: GT HD Premium and GT HD Classic. GT HD Premium will be like a sneak preview of Gran Turismo 5 - it will have full PS3 specification qualities, and will maximise the PS3's power. It will be a standalone game with 30 cars and two tracks. There will be another 30 cars and one track which people will be able to download for it."
"GT HD Classic has been designed to pursue the possibilities of network gaming, and will consist of existing GT assets recreated in full HD. All in all, it will have 770 cars and 51 tracks, all downloadable - that's where the PlayStation Store comes into play. Their prices have not yet been decided, nor have the structures of the business models."
"Looking back to the first Gran Turismo in 1997, it included 100 hours of condensed gameplay, and you needed to play it to the full extent to get all the items in the game. With Gt HD, we thought it was maybe time to take a different approach, with casual gaming accessibility. Players can connect and play for maybe 10 to 30 minutes per day. That's one of the reasons why we chose not to call it Gran Turismo 5."
Kazunori also announced that GT HD will be the first iteration of the franchise to include Ferraris, and showed a gorgeously modelled Ferrari 599 which, we can safely assume, will be among the cars in the game. And he showed a slide listing the features that will eventually make it into GT HD Classic, including track days, drift contests, tuning and setting features, head-to-head racing time trials, B-spec racing, online garages, friend lists, lobbies, voice chart, team and club builders and number-plate editors. He added that: "They won't all be available for this Christmas, though."
Finally, he gazed into his crystal ball and spoke about some of the aspects of the game which he is focusing on improving for Gran Turismo 5: "First, physics: we hope to include a further enhanced Professional mode. In the past, for example, it has been difficult to keep cars sliding - this will be for the petrol-heads out there. We would like to include damage: this has always been a request, and we are studying this area. With the AI, we have a two-stage evolution planned at 2006 year-end and Q2 2007. We want to further enhance it, and give more human-like qualities to the cars."
Kazunori said that GT HD "Will launch in Japan and Asia in winter 2006/07," thereby hedging his bets as to whether it will be a launch title, "And in the US and Europe in 2007." Without a doubt, it will be the PS3's biggest launch window title, and will put the PS3 on the map as an online console.
Here is the full transcript of the interview we had with Kazunori-san, in which he clarified the structure of GT HD Premium - which will be a straight, arcade-style game - said that the second GT HD Premium track is somewhere in North America, revealed what he himself drives and gave more of an insight into how users will be able to participate in content generation for the game.

Wurtz Riesling Geyerscheiss 2007
- Rheingau / Rheinhessen
- Germany
2007 was the year that saw California's wine industry pick up once again, after a troubling couple of years. Indeed, all across the state of California, fantastic harvests were reported as a result of fine weather conditions throughout the flowering and ripening periods, and Napa Valley and Santa Barbera wines were widely considered amongst the best in the world in 2007, with Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes packing in all sorts of fine and desirable features in this year. South Africa, too, had a much-needed fantastic year for red wines, with Pinotage particularly displaying strong characteristics, alongside the country's other flagship red wine grape varietals. Over in Europe, France had another fine year, especially for white wines. Champagne wineries were very happy with their Chardonnay harvests, and the Loire Valley and Graves in Bordeaux are proclaiming 2007 to be a memorable year due to the quality of their white wine grapes. For French red wines, Provence had their best year for almost a decade, as did the Southern Rhone. However, 2007 was most favorable to Italy, who saw high yields of exceptional quality across almost all of their major wine producing regions. Tuscany is claiming to have produced its best Chianti and Brunello wines for several years in 2007, and Piedmont and Veneto had a wonderful year for red wines. For Italian white wines, 2007 was an extremely successful year for Alto Adige and Campania. Germany also had a very good 2007, with Riesling displaying extremely dry and crisp characteristics, as did Portugal, where Port wine from 2007 is said to be one to collect.
Although they originated in Germany's beautiful Rhine Valley, the Riesling grape soon spread around the world, where it thrives in many countries with a colder climate which can support this pale and unique grapes. Riesling grapes are considered one of the finest varietals on earth, capable of expressing fascinating features of the soil type they are grown on, resulting in some highly interesting wines with plenty to offer those who are looking for something different. Riesling grapes are also noted for their aromas, which tend to be highly perfumed, floral and often with smoky notes accentuating their unusual flavor Because this was always the predominant grape grown in Germany and other such countries, Riesling wineries have always been keen to experiment with its range. This has resulted in dry white wines, sparkling wines, semi sweet wines and several others, but the finest examples are usually considered to be the Riesling dessert wines. These are occasionally made with unusual processes, including the 'eiswine' method, in which the grapes are allowed to freeze in the early frosts, or by allowing the development of 'noble rot', which withers the grapes and results in some truly spectacular and unusual flavors.
The beautiful German wine region of Rheingau is home to many of the country's most famous and highly respected white wines, with many of the Riesling wines to come out of this mountainous area being widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth. The reason for this is due to the fact that when processed carefully and correctly, the Riesling grape is capable of expressing much of the terroir it is grown on, and there are few better terroirs in the world for this grape varietal than those found in Rheingau. With mineral rich soils, crisp, clear mountain water and cool, gentle climatic conditions, the grapes here grow and ripen slowly, producing fruit of exceptional quality and wines of real character and distinction. Today, the region of Rheingau is also growing Pinot Noir grapes, and experimenting with several other varietals in an attempt to widen its international appeal as a region.
If German wine has had something of a bad reputation in the past, it may well be the fault of the fact that for a long time now, the Germans have simply kept all the best produce to themselves. Visit any town or village in wine producing regions of Germany, and you'll be faced with a stunning array of extremely high quality wines, each matched with local dishes and full of distinct character and flavor. As white wine production makes up for about two-thirds of all Germany's wine industry, this is by far the most visible and widely enjoyed type of wine, but one should not overlook the quality and range of rosé and red wines on offer from this fascinating country. In particular, the Spatburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) are generally of an exceptionally high quality, being full of dark, intense hedgerow fruit flavors and exciting spicy notes with a silky smooth finish.

Citra had a great taste in leather miniskirts and a laissez-faire attitude towards the rest of her clothing, which I'm sure looked great in a tropical island paradise/dystopia but was a little out of place in mid-October London. She didn't seem to mind the cold, though.
We sat at a corner table in a Leicester Square cafe and talked about her difficult relationship with her ex-boyfriend for a while to fill in time, but it became apparent that the staff had forgotten about us entirely.
"Should I go up and say something?" I asked, peering round into the main room. She embedded a stone knife right in the centre of the table.
"TOO LONG you have asked for permission! You must TAKE what you want. That is the path of a true warrior."
"Righto. Shall I get us some menus, then?"
"The time for menus has PASSED. You must now catch and skin me a pig."
I didn't want to risk upsetting her by explaining that we were a long way away from the nearest pig, so I went to the bathroom to 'apply some more warpaint' and climbed out of the window, leaving her there.

Can't Wait to See 'Silver Linings Playbook'? You're In Luck!
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentUPDATED: The Playlist now reports that the cities getting an early release include NY, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston, DC, Miami, San Diego, and Austin.
David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook swiftly (and not entirely unexpectedly) became the film to see after its strong Toronto International Film Festival showing, so it's no surprise that the film's distributor, The Weinstein Company, is trying to put this thing in front of audiences on the quick side. Deadline Hollywood report that, though the Bradley Cooper- and Jennifer Lawrence-starring production will still open wide on November 21, the film will premiere in ten markets on November 16.
Of course, we still don't know which ten markets that will be (though, Los Angeles and New York, you're probably safe on this one), and a quick check of both MovieTickets and Fandango don't shed too much light on the situation, and even the Weinstein site and the film's official site contain no new information on this limited early release, but we suspect we'll find out soon enough. Perhaps staying on top of the film's Twitter is wise?
Until then, let's all look back at Allison's solid review of the film from AFI FEST. Ah, loonies in love.

Hunakai Studio of Fine Art combines the study of past masters with plenty of hands-on art-making experience for students of all ages. Instructors teach students to sculpt in clay, paint and draw, or generate digital images with 3D design programs and tablets. They lead studies into the iconic images of Renaissance painters, the drawings of famed cartoonists, and the murals of prolific graffiti artists. They do this all while keeping class sizes small, with no more than eight students per instructor. This lets the teachers customize lessons to students' needs, helping pupils progress at their own pace instead of racing to keep up with that overachiever Suzy Collins.
With its lofty ceilings, slate floors, natural wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows that give sunlight some rare exposure to high culture, the building that houses the Fuller Craft Museum is itself a work of art. The 21,000-square-foot structure is surrounded by a 22-acre campus, which is itself surrounded by some 700 acres of woodland. It's a place to easily lose an afternoon in exploration and contemplation.
Across this wide-open space, creativity flows naturally. Exhibitions, galleries, and workshops showcase the mesmerizing craftsmanship of woodworking, sculpture, bookmaking, and many other forms, exploring the materials, techniques, and expression poured into each piece. Interactive attractions draw visitors deeper into the creative process. Letterboxing, for instance, challenges them to search the property for hidden treasures by following clues instead of just lazily asking a neighborhood pirate.
With a dedication to each individual and family, the seasoned instructors at The Dance Factory teach students of any age a variety of dance styles, ranging from ballet and acrobatics to jazz and hip-hop. Preschool- and kindergarten-age classes are also available for budding dancers. Kids can express themselves through free-form choreography in various dance styles, or take a more structured approach through the French traditions taught in ballet sessions. Hip-hop and modern/contemporary classes equip older children and adults with the steps to commandeer any dance floor or spontaneous public musical number, and students looking for more heart-pumping excitement can also bust moves in dance-inspired Zumba fitness classes. Classes meet once a week Monday?Saturday.
Luke Adams's childhood talent for drawing spurred him toward an education in glasswork at the Massachusetts College of Art, where he honed his technique under artists from all over the country. Today, Luke molds his molten medium into colorful, one-of-a-kind starfish suncatchers, jewelry, and paperweights. Through jewelry-making and glassblowing classes, his studio spreads a passion for glass-oriented artistry, teaching students to shear and assemble artful shards, molding them into versatile, translucent building blocks similar to the kind used to by Gustave Eiffel to construct an ice-cube model of his infamous tower.
Located just outside Boston, Blue Hill lets aspiring pilots navigate both the busy airspace above the city and the more difficult flying conditions around the White Mountains. A full-scale flight simulator preps beginners before they can receive one-on-one lessons from an instructor in a two-seat Schweizer 300C helicopter, which accommodates both commercial or private flying tracks. The copter also ferries passengers above the city at dusk or carries riders home to the nest where flying machines roost at night.
In 2006, friends Mike and Courtney—independent researcher for the historical society and ghost tour guide, respectively—drew up a unique business plan to spook Providence locals and tourists alike with fact-based ghost tours. Their combined interests in the paranormal and knack for research led them to pillage the minds of staff members and records at the Providence Historical Society, the public library, and the Rhode Island State Archives for accounts of abnormal and violent events. They dug through old files and microforms of oft-forgotten morbid events—including murders, suicides, and fires—gathering facts to present objective stories about real people. Once they'd crammed their skeptical minds with grim and gloomy facts, the tours were ready to begin. Today, these truthful and skeptical accounts of paranormal activity chill the spines of tourists and terrified library books as guides lead walking tours, lit by lantern, through centuries-old Providence streets. Since its inception, Providence Ghost Tour has been counted among TripAdvisor's top 10 ghost tours in America, and was featured on an overnight paranormal investigation with Syfy's Ghost Hunters frontmen, Brian Harnois and Keith Johnson.
