The Last Jews of Ethiopia
A small but vibrant community of Jews lives in Gondar, Ethiopia. They worship daily at their synagogue, run by the Hatikva Beta Israel Religious Organisation. The synagogue, made of corrugated iron, houses the shabbat services as well as classes in Hebrew for children and the rehearsals of a folk group. They observe a strict kosher diet, not eating meat because the community does not have a butcher...

"Transport is my element. As far back as I can remember, and even before that perhaps, I seemed to hear the sound of wheels.

Adieu Saigon
"At the age of twenty-two I was sent to Saigon to cover the war as a photojournalist. I was too late for Indochina, and too early for Vietnam. Muggers robbed me on my arrival, and I lived in a small hotel by the river. I drove towards the front in an old Citroën. I think I was happy. I returned some years later. It was for another war, and the famous reporters had left. The streets were full of GIs...

Nick Cannon Gossip
Nick Cannon gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
It's been a year since Will and Kate married. There will be several tv specials commemorating the event this weekend. This will likely overshadow a much more important anniversary. On April 30th, Mimi is celebrating 4 years of marriage. As they do every year, she and Nick are renewing their vows. This time they're doing it in Paris. Full Story
Holy Lamb Day
Today is the day that my Angelic Soul Mate was born! Time to celebrate! Time to get festive! I LOOOOVE YOU @MariahCarey KKLB - Nick Cannon's Twitter, but his words pretty much represent the feeling across the Lambily. Full Story
Mimi's kidney failure
Here's a photo Mariah Carey posted on her Twitter and her website: her husband Nick Cannon has been hospitalised for "mild kidney failure". While he clearly looks distressed, his wife has decided, out of love of course, to cram herself onto that small bed to comfort him, jamming him and his poor kidney into one of the bars. Full Story
Let it snow…for Mimi!
Mimi says Happy Christmas with a new video! This is what I'm saying about this time of year. Mimi delights me in February. But she really, REALLY delights me in December. Is this her LA house?OMG. We open on a huge photograph of what appears to be Mimi mounting Nick, if that's any indication of what the next four and a half minutes will bring…. Full Story
Mimi > Dembabies
Nick Cannon went baby crazy yesterday on his Twitter with new photos of Dembabies, Roc and Roe. Please note that their mother, the real Mariah Mimi, has to be present always, even if it means luxuriating her foot in their faces, clad in a pink dressing gown (which I imagine she only wears for an hour of the day before changing into a different colour and style). Full Story
Tonight's the night
It's Mimi on tv!With dem babies! This is what Sasha and I have been emailing about today. Mariah Carey is our favourite topic. Why isn't she YOUR favourite topic??? Mimi's interview with Barbara Walters, debuting "Roc and Roe", will air tonight on ABC. They released a short clip on Good Morning America. Full Story
This is beneath Mimi
Or is it? I am sitting beside Sasha this week in Toronto at work. Sasha and our other friend Dean and I love Mimi together like extra a lot. I mean, she's kind of our life force. So I just turned to Sasha after seeing these shots of Mimi's husband Nick Cannon in New York the other day trying to, um, BREAK THE WORLD RECORD FOR HUGS, and, understandably disgusted, to say: This is VILE and GROSS and beneath our Mimi. Full Story
Monroe & Moroccan
You think Mimi is pissed at her kids for coming on Royal Wedding Day and her anniversary? It means she has to share. Of course not. Babies are joy! And Mimi babies are more joy than any other joy! Anyway, she's made us wait for the official names. Because we needed distance between the excitement of Will and Kate and then we needed more distance from the news of OBL's death, and now it's midweek and if we don't know now, we won't care as we approach the weekend. Full Story
Getting comfortable with Mimi & a shot at JLo
It's the news that isn't news. Just a week or so before the release of her new Christmas album, Mimi has confirmed that she and Nick Cannon are indeed expecting. As my mother would say, "I'm so exciting." If you have immigrant parents, you know exactly how hilarious that is, when they f-ck up their verb conjugations. Full Story
One bitch fighting himself
I love a good bitch fight. Please. I live for a good bitch fight. But this, this is not a good bitch fight. This is not even a bitch fight. This is one bitch fighting no one but himself. That would be Nick Cannon, and now I'm a little embarrassed for Mimi. Because her dude is embarrassing himself so publicly. Full Story
Cheese muffin pizzas and another wedding
It's me! Am just installed in Barbados, at my room at The Crane (more on this later) with a hardwire internet connection, and my Hate F-cks right now are athletes: Alex Rodriguez and Chris Pronger. HATE. So there's hate f-cking and then there are butterflies, rainbows, and cheese. It's Mimi time. Full Story
People's Choice Award: Favourite Non-Walker
Who else? What brings up more happiness than Mimi not walking? Or, rather, walking assisted by a bodyguard/husband/waiter? JOY. She is JOY. Mariah Carey was named Favourite R&B Artist last night at the PCAs over, um, Beyonce. Which should tell you how bullsh-t the People's Choice Awards are. Full Story
How Mimi travels in Capri
How could we close out the year without some Mimi amazingness? So the Capri Hollywood International Film Festival has decided to honour Mariah Carey for her work in Precious. What? Of course Mimi turned up to collect. And with her personal walker, Nick Cannon, alongside to celebrate. As you can see, Mimi's wearing another tight sparkly dress. Full Story
Mimi Cheese Balls & A Tree
Shiloh heard my prayer. My mother hopped on the Chinese Lady Express Bus for Casino Rama today. We won't see her til dinner time. Unless of course she's on a super hot streak in which case we may not see her for a week. Shiloh's benevolence is plentiful today. Because there is also some Mimi. Full Story

Terriers secure Trotman's signature
The North End centre-half spent the first half of the season on loan at Southampton and will aim to enjoy more regular first-team football with Lee Clark's promotion-chasing side. The Lilywhites signed the highly rated 22-year-old in January 2008 from Oldham but the defender's progress at Deepdale has been hindered by injury. The deal can be extended beyond the regular season should Huddersfield reach the play-offs and there is no recall clause in the deal.

My research explores the capability of antigen presenting cells to act as inducers or suppressors of immunity responses in different diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis or infections. These cells are keystones of the immune response, being capable of triggering specific immunity. Thus, they have been used for vaccination purposes. In pathological conditions, they can be involved in inflammatory diseases, collaborating with tissue injury. On the other hand, they can collaborate with tumor growth by suppressing the specific anti-tumor immune response or inducing tumor vascularization. Investigating the factors governing the phenotype plasticity of these cells may unhide new targets for immune therapies.

LUTCHER - A fundraiser is being held today in St. James Parish to honor and remember a missing 12-year-old girl whose body was found on Sunday.
The event is intended to be a celebration of Talajia Dorsey's life with food, drinks and music. The entire community is expected to turn out in support of the Dorsey family.
The event was funded by donations and all proceeds from the fundraiser, estimated at $10,000 to $15,000, will go to the family of the slain 12-year-old.
St. James deputies found the body of Talaija Dorsey after six days of searching. The girl's mother's fiance was arrested and charged with her murder.
People turned out as early as 5:30 this morning to get the food and entertainment prepped ahead of the event with the Dorsey family arriving in the afternoon. The benefit will last until 10 p.m. Thursday.
A local funeral home has also agreed to cover all the costs for Dorsey's funeral.
We will have more about the fundraiser on News 2 at 5.

Jefferson Quotes & Family Letters is a companion to the letterpress volumes of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson: Retirement Series. The content presented as part of this collection includes Family Letters: full, searchable transcriptions of a rich body of correspondence to and between Jefferson's immediate and extended family.
The Retirement Series is creating the definitive edition of Thomas Jefferson's letters and papers for the period from 1809 to 1826 in letterpress and digital forms. Jefferson's retirement is the least studied and one of the most fascinating periods of his life. During these years he founded the University of Virginia, and in selling his own unrivaled book collection, he turned the Library of Congress into a great cultural institution.
These special guided 40-minute tours of Thomas Jefferson's house are designed especially for families with children ages 5 to 11. Featuring hands-on opportunities, these tours provide a glimpse of life at Monticello and highlight Jefferson's accomplishments and wide-ranging interests.

McLaren MP4-23 - revised rear aero package 06 September 2008
For Spa McLaren have added side slits to the endplates of the car's sidepod winglets (lower inset circle). Similar to a revision introduced by Renault last year, and already adopted on the MP4-23 in Monaco, they are designed to reduce any extra turbulence generated by the larger Monaco-spec winglets - and consequently ensure maximum downforce gains. In addition, the rear wing sports the same configuration adopted in Canada, with the main profile raised in its central section and its extremities bending downwards slightly towards the endplates. This solution generates not only a medium downforce load, but also less drag compared to the previous configuration. This is important at Spa, where the very long straights highlight the car's top-end performance, while at the same time the more twisty sections emphasise the need for good traction.

Contrast lights the way to fun platformingContrast is hands down the most unique game I played at E3. It's rare to find a game that melds adult themes with the whimsical storytelling mechanics of a child's mind. Blended with interesting puzzle platforming, Contrast is surely going to spark some interest when it arrives. You play as Dawn, a vaudeville-inspired imaginary friend to Didi, a nine-year-old girl who lives in a world reminiscent of 1920's Europe with a film noir feel. Since Dawn is imaginary, she can traverse both the shadow and the real world to help Didi discover the mysteries surrounding her family. Interestingly enough, Dawn can only see people as shadows which works out to her advantage as a shadow hopper. I found that the platforming pieces were pretty solid -- after taking some time to learn the mechanics surrounding the shadow jumping, I still found it pretty challenging and fun to move around the different areas. Players can also use various light sources to change the shadows in the environment, allowing Dawn to easily maneuver around a level.
My favorite part of the demo was platforming across a scene of two shadows arguing with each other. I had to hop up a woman's leg onto a table, and then shimmy over to her cigarette so I could then hop onto a man's hat which eventually lead to the other side. In this game, shadows are larger than life which makes for a great visual. Didi also assists Dawn by creating her own shadows, which I thought was a neat addition. I also thought the music was pretty amazing and I'm excited to hear more from the game when it arrives.
Contrast is one of those games that I can see breaking ground on multiple levels, not just from a platforming viewpoint but also from a story perspective. However, I am a bit sad to hear that the game is only approximately 5 hours in length -- but perhaps that's just enough. We'll know for sure when it comes out this fall for PC, XBLA, and PSN, $15 or $20 for downloadable music + art concepts. Comments not appearing?

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — An Florida man is charged in the deaths of two men after his daughter told her mother she witnessed the killings.
Laureano "Larry" Romero's arrest report indicates his daughter said she saw him shoot DeAngelo Cox, 22, and Nick Lewis, 21, on Tuesday at a home in the Taft area.
Romero, 39, was arrested and faces two first-degree murder charges.
According to the report, the girl told her mother, "Daddy killed two black men." Deputies said it was Romero's mother who called authorities to report what her granddaughter said she saw.
Other witnesses apparently told deputies they saw Romero drive away from his Taft home after the shootings.

I used to be a professional singer, and I signed a contract with my manager. After a year of failed attempts at success and no paying gigs, I told him I wanted to quit.
He threatened to sue me for all the money he could have made off of me if I had become famous. I said that no court in the world would reward him for that, because it couldn't be proven that I ever would have made it.
Nevertheless, he took me to court. I had a lawyer who was ready to totally debunk his claims, but he never showed up that day. I suppose he had come to the realization that he had no basis for his case.
The judge called it a non-suit, and I went on my way. I was greatly relieved, even though I didn't believe that I would end up owing him anything.

Match Preview
Jones boost for Owls Sheffield Wednesday skipper Rob Jones will return to the side for the FA Cup fourth round replay against Blackpool. Central defender Jones, sidelined for the last four games due to an ankle injury, will step in for Blackpool loanee Miguel Llera, who has already appeared in the competition for Brentford this season. Mike Jones, a recent signing from Bury, is another who is ineligible and latest new recruit, John Bostock, is also cup-tied having made his only appearance for Tottenham this season in the FA Cup. Midfielder Chris Lines, strikers Ryan Lowe and Clinton Morrison and defender Lewis Buxton are among those who will be hoping to return to the starting line-up. Manager Gary Megson has no new injury or suspension problems, although defender Reda Johnson, currently on nine yellow cards, is walking a suspension tightrope. Kevin Phillips and Roman Bednar could be set to start in attack for Blackpool. Phillips' injury-time penalty gave the Seasiders the chance of a second go at their npower League One opponents as the sides drew 1-1 at Bloomfield Road 10 days ago. The 39-year-old striker has since netted crucial goals from the bench in dramatic league wins over Coventry and Cardiff and is in line for a place in the starting XI as boss Ian Holloway prepares to rotate his squad with one eye on their growing promotion ambitions in the Championship. On-loan West Brom forward Bednar, who enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Phillips during their time together at the Hawthorns, has won praise from Holloway for his contribution as a substitute over the past week and will hope for a first start since moving to Lancashire. Keith Southern remains the Seasiders' only major injury absentee with a gashed ankle. The midfielder played his first game since having a tumour removed from a testicle in November when he started the initial tie but sustained the blow to his ankle moments before Clinton Morrison opened the scoring for Wednesday.
Match Report
Seasiders soar past Owls Blackpool earned an FA Cup fifth-round trip to Everton after a scintillating 3-0 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday in their fourth-round replay at Hillsborough. The game was effectively won in the opening 15 minutes as Matt Phillips continued his red-hot scoring streak with a precise finish and Lomana LuaLua curled in a superb effort soon after. The Seasiders produced an outstanding attacking display and they made it three shortly after the break with another goal of sheer quality, Ludovic Sylvestre bending in from the edge of the area. It could, and perhaps should, have been more but with the quality of all three goals, Blackpool manager Ian Holloway will have seen enough to be confident of going to Goodison Park and forcing a result in 11 days. For Wednesday, it was a night to forget, although with an npower League One promotion assault to concentrate solely on now, boss Gary Megson may not be too disappointed. The fact that Megson made eight changes from the Owls' weekend win over Yeovil highlights exactly where he ranked this game in importance, though Holloway, whose side sit fifth in the npower Championship, also made eight changes. Despite that rotation, it was an open start and Wednesday had already spurned a golden chance as Ryan Lowe shot straight at Matt Gilks when offered a clear sight of goal by the time Blackpool went ahead in the seventh minute. Some neat passing saw Phillips receive the ball 20 yards out and through a crowded area he skilfully picked his spot in the bottom corner with goalkeeper Stephen Bywater possibly unsighted. It continued a remarkable run of form for the 20-year-old, who made it 10 goals in 10 games and three in the space of 14 minutes of action after his late double at Cardiff on Saturday. He will have been especially pleased to bag on his return to Sheffield, where he scored six in seven appearances for Wednesday's city rivals United when on loan earlier this season. Blackpool doubled their lead seven minutes later as LuaLua was set free down the left and he cut inside and curled a precise shot into the far corner from the angle of the penalty area. The Seasiders threatened to run away with it, looking dangerous every time they came forward, but Wednesday responded in the only way they know - an aerial assault - and it almost paid dividends just after the half-hour as Rob Jones tested Gilks with a powerful header from Chris Sedgwick's corner. The half-time interval did little to disrupt Blackpool's attacking prowess as they extended their lead further in the 53rd minute with the goal of the evening. Wednesday lost possession and Phillips' cheeky back-heel set Sylvestre free and he advanced into the area and bent a sublime effort into the top corner from 16 yards. Phillips should have made it 11 in 10 games with 18 minutes remaining as the visitors continued to boss, but when he burst through the Wednesday defence he put his shot the wrong side of the post. Wednesday did offer some late excitement to their fans as Lowe and Julian Bennett shot wide. Nevertheless, it was a comfortable evening for Holloway's side, who gain revenge for their first-round Carling Cup exit here in August.

Welcome to Francis West Studios
I have over 20 years of TV News experience and have been shooting weddings for over 8 years now. Each wedding that I do is unique and special to the couple. My news background accentuates my ability to story telling.
That is why the "Love Story" is a very important aspect of the wedding video. I try to personalize what makes each couple special to each other. Like a snowflake, no wedding video is completely alike. I always look for the special moments during the wedding and try to capture it on video. Imagine having a close friend or a member of the family shooting your wedding, but at a professional level and quality. That is my goal when I shoot a wedding….to make the bride and groom feel very comfortable around me for the entire day.
This personal service and professionalism is what I believe, separates me from the other wedding videographers in the Charleston area.
Here are some sample videos of weddings in 2013. For those couples that don't end up with a Love Story, these are examples of First Dances, Vows, Raw footage of dancing during the reception.
If you would like to reserve a date please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 843-410-2774.

Bell Pepper Egg-In-A-Hole. On Friday night, I finished season six of Mad Men. At 2am. About a week after starting the season. Craving > 6 Easy Baked Egg Breakfast Cups. I've been a bit obsessed with food in cups. You could say its due to my uber-busy life right now that I'm looking for ways to maximize my family's food/eating/nutrition schedule while keeping it nutritious and delicious but fast and portable. Those start-of-school-bells ring early! I first discovered a version of these egg strata cups 3 years ago at a local bakery that is no more (damn economy), that I'd drop into after dropping off my daughter for pre-school. I was just going in for a latte, but those breakfast cups would always draw me in, flirting from the deli case, batting their baked bread, cheese, eggey-ness until I would at the last minute tell the cashier, "I'll have one of those too."
Classic Campbelled Eggs - Campbell's Kitchen. Shakshuka. There are a lot of reasons to make shakshuka, an Israeli Tunisian dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce: It sounds like the name of a comic book hero.
Or some kind of fierce, long-forgotten martial art. Or perhaps something that said comic book hero would yell as they practiced this elaborate martial art, mid-leap with their fist in the air. Or you could make it because when I talked about making eggs in tomato sauce a while back a large handful of comments were along the lines of "oh, this sounds like shakshuka" and "I think you would love shakshuka" and "you really should make shakshuka" and you may have shrugged and forgotten about it until you finally had it at a café one day and whoa it turns out you really would like shakshuka!
Huevos rancheros. I wasn't even going to mention this dish.
I've got no expertise in the realm of Tex-Mex cooking and generally think it's best left to those who know what they're talking about. Furthermore, despite the fact that I had eggs exactly this way daily when we were at a resort in Mexico last year, I suspect this isn't the most authentic thing out there. But it makes no difference because these ad-libbed and hodge-podged huevos rancheros and the smitten kitchen are at something of a standstill. Breakfast pizza. My son's favorite game in the whole world is Let's Play With The Other Baby!
You Know, The One We Keep In The Mirror. We bring him over to this giant mirror in the hallway and he goes berserk, he paws at the "other" baby, kicks his legs, squeals and laughs. It cracks us up too. Babies: they're so cute when they're kinda confused! Fried Overeasy Egg with Breadcrust. Monday, March 14, 2011 Fried Soft Boiled Egg* Is it a hush puppy?
Or a short, fat corndog? Or maybe its a weird looking fried Twinkie? No, it's none of that.

An article in the Miami Herald suggests that Miami might be interested in playing Notre Dame in one of Kevin White's beloved neutral site games in the near future.
Hocutt said UM won't play FIU but wants to book marquee opponents and would be interested in speaking with Notre Dame when it hires an athletic director about one of its new annual prime-time neutral site NBC games.
As a younger Notre Dame fan who grew up with the Notre Dame teams of the late 80's which had several epic matchups with Miami, the thought of Notre Dame facing off against the Hurricanes in a neutral site game is absolutely awesome.
Would a game against Miami in the neutral site game finally stop some of the ongoing complaining about the scheduling of these games? Hopefully.
Considering Miami's recent incidents such as their in-game brawl with Florida International maybe those old Catholics vs. Convicts shirts could find some more use.
Here's a GREAT clip of Rocket Ismail talking about the pre-game fight with Miami in 1988 from Aaron Taylor's Legends of South Bend.
Side note: for those of you who might not know, the voice in the highlights is none other than Harry Kalas – the long time voice of the Philadelphia Phillies and one of the truly great sports broadcasters around.

A game with the-U would be amazing it would be amazing if this turned into a long standing rivalry like michigan or USC

Thug U. Vs. Jesus U. LoL
I would like to see a renewed Rivalry like Kevo said. I wouldnt mind it being part of the non-conf every year.
JC commented on July 9th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
I third the motion, sure beat's the hell out of UCONN!
I sure hope we stop trying to be like Ohio State. You
already know what the sponge cake schedule did for them!I don't give two hoots about going to a pro stadium. again it gets back to quality not
quanity. You all know that pro stadiums are not a family enviroment.[Reply]
bleednd82 commented on July 10th, 2008 at 7:41 am
I agree with about every post you make but at the end of this post about "football" and "family enviorment" I agree that pro stadiums are not a family enviorment but I also agree that neither are college stadiums.This is why. Tailgating all around the stadium. Binge drinking (I partake still). Drunk obnoxious people all around. Curse words coming out of a lot of corners. Even older adults (sr's) acting like this. I can only imagine what a 8 yr old would think. I am only 26 and in Grad school getting my MSW (I work with kids maybe a bias?) but the so called "family enviorment" that you speak about doesnt exist on the college campus. I know at ND you cant bring alchy in nor do they sell it (bummer) but it still goes on. Go into the stall at half time and you'll see about 200 small liquor bottles. Also, I believe that a parent can put the "enviorment" into perspective for their kid but how much do you want them to see. My first ND game was in 90 and it was raining hard. I dont remember much before the game and all I remember is beating the tar out of Purdont and being soaked.
Im just saying both enviorments (pro/college) arent probably the best place for kids with the booze, cursing, obnoxious drunken behavior by both young adults and adults IMOP.
I agree with you just wanted to add a lil more.
JC commented on July 10th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Bleed, Thank you, I had a stone stomach once at Holy Cross, so I will not preach.
I too agree with most of your posts, however, I have been to several out of town games, like for instance Michigan. ND is like romper room compared to Michigan.
I am not saying the enviroment is going to be perfect but, once in awhile I do like taking my grandson to a game. Of couse I duck tape his ears before we get there.
I should clarify on Miami, If they(the fans) have learned not to spit on the visiting teams, then sign us up!

So Long, and Thanks…
As most people following this blog have probably figured out by now, I'm pretty much calling it quits. I'm really grateful for the past few years I've had writing here, and in particular for the readers who have taken the time to write to me and to comment — your support and appreciation has meant more than I can say.
My writing in general has been put on hold because a number of other projects have taken precedence. Overall, it's been a really positive thing for me to step away from this (and other writing projects). I'm now fostering relationships with people I love, learning new skills, becoming stronger and healthier, feeling challenged in really positive ways, and returning to things I've set aside for far too long. With writing (here and elsewhere), I've always felt a certain pressure — I feel positively guilty when I'm not working on something, not creating something. Right now, I don't feel that sense of guilt. It's very freeing, to be able to enjoy something and not immediately feel compelled to document it.
…but I know I can't avoid that feeling for too long, of course. I already feel the pull back to a screenplay I wrote a first draft of a year ago. I'm reading a fantastic book on a pet subject of mine, and I inevitably turn to thoughts of interviewing the author for a magazine I've written for in the past, of perhaps even writing a follow-up book on the subject incorporating some new ideas and…no. Not now; not yet. Now I need time for day-to-day life, for friends, for playing games and music, for collaborating with others, for having fun, for absorbing ideas and words instead of generating them.
I might return to this some day. In particular, I'd love to return to the zine format and come up with "Issue 2″ of Subversive Submissive. Right now, though, it's time to put this aside for other things. Thanks again to everyone who's read this over the years, and don't hesitate to email me if you'd like: subversivesub at gmail dot com. So long.
Thoughts on Continuing This Blog
I haven't posted anything in two months, for the simple reason that I just haven't felt like writing about sex. I've been struggling to narrow my goals as a writer, and I've realized that in order to get anything done, I'll need to stop writing multiple blogs and zines and novels and screenplays and reviews and pick just one or two things to focus on at a time. And I'm not sure if writing about sex and kink is going to be among them.
My reasons for continuing this blog are completely different from the reasons I started it. When I first began writing here, all I wanted was to give voice to the thoughts I'd been wrestling with for so long and to find support from others who thought like me — to find reassurance that I wasn't alone. Thanks to this blog and that support from everyone who's read it over the last few years, I've gotten exactly what I wanted: I no longer feel overwhelmingly ashamed or afraid of my desires; I feel confident in my sexuality; I have a better understanding of different BDSM subcultures and histories and can articulate both defenses and critiques of them.
About a year ago, I realized that my blogging had a secondary goal: to be the source I'd hoped to find when I went looking for intelligent, radically minded kinky folk, and to reassure others that they were not alone. I started receiving a number of comments and emails from people expressing gratitude for my thoughts, my stories, and my openness. At the same time, I began to put more energy into Anarkink — organizing meetings, ensuring our presence at the San Francisco Anarchist Bookfair, and helping to plan a party. I created a FetLife group for kinky anarchists; I printed a zine; I received several requests for interviews. I began to realize that my identity as a writer was now overwhelmed by "Subversive Submissive," and that the only real work I was producing that was being read by others (except for the non-credited writing I do as a part of my job) was my personal reflections about kink and sexuality.
I'm in a quandary. I enjoy writing on here — I do still find it interesting (and often cathartic), and it seems that others still find it somewhat helpful to read about my struggles with and thoughts on kink. I really like having the connections with other kinky bloggers that I've made over the past few years, and I miss the cross-blog conversations that I used to take part in on a more regular basis. But kink is simply not as enormously fascinating to me now as it was even a year ago; it's now simply a normal part of my life, not something new and exciting that I want to process, dissect, analyze, and share with others. And the more I grow into my identity as a writer, the more I realize that I don't want to be a "sex writer" — and that practically speaking, anyone who frequently writes about sex, even if she writes about many other things as well, runs the risk of being pigeonholed as such. My reasons for anonymity are several, but one of them is definitely my fear that connecting my real name to my writing on here will mean that I will forever be resigned to a role as "that woman who writes about kink and anarchism."
So I have a lot that I need to figure out, right now. I don't think I'm quite ready to stop writing here, but I need to find a better balance with my other interests and to decide whether or not I need to quarantine my writing about sex from everything else I share with the world. Here's looking forward to finding the answer in 2010.
Temporary Absence
It's not as if I haven't gone a month without posting before…but this time I have a good reason: National Novel-Writing Month! This is going to be a huge challenge for me — not so much the challenge of writing at least 1,666 words per day to reach the 50,000-word goal, but the challenge of plotting out a novel-length story, creating characters, and so forth. (Fiction has never been my strong suit.)
At any rate, I'll be back in December. Have a good month.

Who Makes Primewell Tires?
If you are considering buying Primewell tires, you might be surprised to learn who makes Primewell tires. The company itself is under GITI Tire, the same parent company that runs GT Radial as well as Runway Tires. GITI Tire is mainly based in Shanghai China but it does have its offices and licenses in Canada and the US for product distribution and quality assurance. So, in answer to the question, Primewell tires are manufactured in mainland China.
Why It Doesn't Matter
That might sound disconcerting for some people especially for those who prefer products made entirely in the US. However you have to dig in a little deeper before moving on to the next option. Most of the parts used in manufacturing these tires, from the chemicals to the engineering molds, are designed internationally but the assembly line is in China. This is mostly because of lower costs and because the parent company is based in China. Quality assurance is a very big deal for consumers and despite these tires made outside of the country, certifications guarantee that they undergo strict quality assurance.
It can become a bit of a consumer-rant when you think about it. When someone asks who makes Falken tires (the Japanese) or who makes Cooper tires (American manufacturers) nobody questions their credibility. However when people ask who makes Primewell tires and they learn it's made in China most consumers immediately jump to the wrong conclusions. Again, the country of origin is not exactly the main factor to consider when looking at the quality of the product.
Case in Point
To further prove this point, Primewell tires have been rated in more than one reliable Primewell Tires Review as some of the best economy tires in the market today. In terms of traction they have garnered a 460 average which is up to 15% higher than most tires sold today. This means you get better grip on the road even when under high speed conditions. With the Primewell PZ900 you also get these benefits even when driving under wet conditions due to its special V-tread designs.
In retrospect, who makes Cooper tires – American manufacturers. Who makes Falken tires – Japanese manufacturers. Both manufacturing companies usually tend to rate pretty high on consumer ratings but in terms of car tires, it is pretty remarkable to see Primewell tires garnering better reviews, from both official Primewell Tires Review sites and consumer reviews alike. So what is in these tires that gave them all the praise and attention despite being manufactured in China?
Why Primewell Tires Rate So High
It's all in the design and quality. As mentioned, Primewell tires are designed to be all-around, all-season economy tires. For that matter you get tires that will last well over 120,000 miles under high speed conditions even during the changing seasons. The best part though is that they cost less than $100 a piece.
You get affordable tires that last a long time and they are designed to give you full control even when under high speeds and different weather conditions. Under those circumstances you might immediately forget who makes Primewell tires simply due to their top of the line quality.

Hi! I work with Dr. Rob on several of his websites including MindBodySmile.com.
I am a wife, mother of 2 beautiful daughters, and keeper of the family pets (1 rescue Pit Bull and 1 Quaker Parrot). When I'm not working I love to spend my time doing yoga, writing, reading, walking, gardening, hiking and enjoying my family.

Revitalize Your Daily Practice!
Some of us have no problem at all with developing a daily practice and sticking to it. Others of us, myself included, can find it a bit challenging. I'll admit that I do find myself getting bored and unmotivated, with a daily practice, and am always looking for ways to change it up. I need a little adventure, some newness, to stay committed to it. Yoga, meditation and getting outside to enjoy nature – this is my daily practice. I'm grateful for the changing seasons, especially in CNY, because each season is so very different from the other. They're an adventure all by themselves. Admittedly, my yoga and meditation practice fell completely off the mat over the past few months. I know this happens to many of us, especially when we get busy...
Scientifically Proven Ways to Beat Stress
As the temperatures have been cooling in CNY, signifying the change of seasons, I've found myself slowing down and spending more time reading. Recently, I went through several yoga journal magazines that had been piling up on my stand, unread. It's funny how just sitting down for a bit and reading can help you de-stress. In one of the articles I read they did a nice summary of scientifically proven ways to beat stress that was a welcome reminder. We can all use reminders as we plod through our busy lives. Smile: A recent study published in the journal Psychological Science supported the idea that the act of smiling measurably lowers your heart rate after a stressful event. It doesn't even matter if you "feel" happy while smiling, the...

A Yogic Lifestyle: Letting Go of Expectations and Desired Outcomes
I've been practicing yoga for almost 5 years now and it has truly changed my life. Yoga is not just a class that you experience for an hour or so once a week (or more), it's truly a lifestyle, a habit. One that grows and becomes exactly what you put into it. For the past few months we've been doing some remodeling inside and outside of our house. Traditionally, I've been responsible for the painting when we've done home projects in the past, and this time is no different. As we move from one room to the next, deciding on color schemes is the easy part. Cary (my husband) and I have very similar tastes. Our house is about 40 years old so we've been discovering places in the walls that need "touch-up." This means the...
Kale Green Smoothie Recipe and Nutrition Information
About 6 months ago I watched the documentary Forks over Knives and it has totally transformed my eating habits. If you haven't seen it, there is also a book form now that includes recipes, I highly recommend it. There is some amazing scientific information in the movie that argues a whole-foods, plant-based diet is the way to go for a longer and healthier life. This Kale Green Smoothie is an easy and yummy way to add more vegetables to your diet. I drink it for lunch most days and it gives me a great energy boost.

I hear the rhythm of the wind as it blows through the pines in our backyard and off in the distance I hear the faint sounds of birds busy at work. Ahhhh, spring is coming ~ Christine Briel
Your Inner Roommate: Letting Go of Your Thoughts
This year I received one of the best holiday gifts ever! My husband, Cary, bought me the Kindle version of The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael Singer. I'm about halfway through the book and find myself reading it very slowly, savoring every lesson learned, as well as highlighting and re-reading sections that really resonate with me. Chapter 2 is titled Your Inner Roommate, there are definitely some powerful lessons in that one. I love the way the author really helps you to recognize the thoughts and incessant chatter that go on inside your head each and every day. He suggests that the key to letting go of these thoughts is by taking a step back, removing yourself from your own melodrama, and watching what's going on in your...
How to Stay Young
My mother sent me this in email the other day and I really loved it!! We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are! HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph: "Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!" 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!) 3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever…Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's! 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who...

Will Ferrell spoke with MTV about the huge hit "Ni**as In Paris" which samples Ferrell in the movie "Blades of Glory". You're probably all aware how the song starts off, with Ferrell's line "We're gonna skate to one song and one song only", and then mid-song he's sampled again with, "No one knows what it means, but it's provocative...it gets the people going!" Here's what Ferrell had to say on it:
"Kanye reached out to me and I said, 'Of course' I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song … and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song.
We were trying to film a piece that they would use on the video boards of their concert, but haven't gotten it together — and the whole process has opened his eyes to an entirely new career opportunity: Being the go-to sample guy on the hip hop circuit. I think [something from] 'Step Brothers' would be good [to use in a song]. Or the Woody Allen movie I did, 'Melinda and Melinda.'"

Rocky View County horse showcased on Calgary Stampede posterBy: Lucas Punkari | Posted: Thursday, Jul 17, 2014 10:23 am A mare from Rocky View County was one of the most visited attractions at the Calgary Stampede this year. Lady, an 18-year-old Belgian draft horse that is owned by Joe and Nancy Jeffary and resides northwest of Airdrie at Grandview Ag. Ltd., was used as the inspiration for this year�s Calgary Stampede poster and resided at the Stampede grounds from July 4 to 13. �It�s been quite a surprise for us actually,� Joe Jeffary said. �Calgary artist Adeline Halvorson had actually painted a portrait of the horse two years ago, and when they chose her to do the main poster for this year�s event, she used Lady as the inspiration for her painting.� �It�s been quite an experience for Lady I�m sure, but I actually haven�t been around that much to see what it�s like where she is staying,� he added. �At the Stampede, I volunteer in Draft Horse Town so I�m busy doing that instead of keeping an eye on Lady.� Tovie Van Nes of DeWinton was standing by Lady throughout the Stampede to answer any questions that visitors might have, as it�s not very often the inspiration for the Stampede poster is present at the event. �It�s the first time in 100 years that a draft horse has been on the poster,� Van Nes said. �Usually, the poster will have bucking bulls, rodeo stock, or chuckwagon racing on it.� �As a result, Lady�s quite a popular attraction,� she added. �She�s an old pro though, and she�s quite used to having all of the attention around her as an older horse.� As an added bonus, Lady�s new foal was also at the Stampede grounds, as she gave birth to a yet-unnamed colt on Father�s Day (June 15). �That�s kind of been an added surprise for us at the Stampede, and I think that�s only made Lady a bigger attraction,� Van Nes said. �As she�s on �maternity leave� so to speak, Lady and her colt were only out for a few hours in the afternoon, just to make sure they aren�t too exhausted.� �They�ve been really taken well care of here, and some might say they are more cooled off than the humans,� she joked.

This News Briefing Was Different From All Others

Posted to: City Hall, Food, Religion
At all other press conferences, the mayor answers questions. At this press conference, the mayor opened a box of matzah.
Why, at this press conference, did Mayor Toni Harp (at right in photo) open a box of matzah?
Because someone gave her the box of matzah.
Why did someone give her a box of matzah?
Because the press conference took place at City Hall on Monday afternoon. At sundown Monday begins the Jewish holiday of Passover. On Passover Jews refrain from eating regular "leavened" bread for a week, and eat the yeast-less matzah instead, to commemorate the exodus of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. The holiday traditionally begins with a seder at which people ask questions. All night we ask questions, beginning with: "Why is this night different from all other nights?" Then we try to provide answers of both immediate and more global and spiritual significance.
Who gave Toni Harp this box of matzah?
Rabbi Mendy Hecht (pictured) and Vice-President Mark Shiffrin (to his right, at left in top photo) of the Orchard Street Shul near the Hospital of St. Raphael campus of Yale-New Haven Hospital. That shul pretty much died along with the westward exodus of New Haven Jews away from the Legion Avenue area during urban renewal. Thanks to a miracle—maybe not on the order of Hannukah or Passover, but a milestone nonetheless—people like Shiffrin have brought that shul back from the dead, beautifully restoring the original building and regularly holiday Sabbath and holiday services. (Read about that revival here, here and here.) The organizers never forget how, as a state senator, Harp was instrumental in getting them the original money to rebuild the shul. (In fact they're honoring her at the shul's 100th anniversary dinner on May 18.) So they brought her matzah on Monday. And not just any matzah!
Why is this matzah different from all other matzah?
Because it's "shmurah" matzah. That's Yiddish for "the really good stuff." Fresh-baked under watchful eyes in strict accordance to Jewish law and just in time for the holiday, shmurah is sort of the Sally's apizza of matzah: delectable super-thin crust, slightly burned (just enough to add flavor). And yes, it does taste good with tomato sauce. Hecht and Shiffrin actually brought six boxes of the stuff for Harp on Monday.
What is the mayor going to do with all that matzah?
She can bring it Monday night to the seder she's attending at the home of her economic development chief, Matthew Nemerson. That may make her the hit of the evening.
Do non-Jews often end up at seders?
You bet. The holiday mixes a deeply Jewish story and set of rituals (including wonderful songs and tuneful prayers) with a universal message that has always led to sharing with non-Jews. Rabbi Hecht (whose grandfather Maurice led services at the old version of the Orchard Street Shul) touched on that message at Monday's press conference. He said the story of the Jews' liberation from slavery reflects how people "always have the ability to become 'free'—whatever is holding them back. Passover teaches the world we have the ability to break out of those clutches." He also spoke of how matzah is cooked quickly, without rising first. "This doesn't have time to be puffed up with hot air," he said of the shmurah matzahs he handed the famously low-ego mayor. The matzah reminds us to "keep our ego in check," not just on Passover, but year-round, Hecht said.

Shmurah! Begorah!
You can put lipstick on a matzah and it's still a matzah.
Now, chocolate coated matzah. Another story.
posted by: Walt on April 15, 2014 7:43am
I do not know Jewish practices, but the idea of a politician, whether of the same faith or not, taking over the altar (correct term?) to get publicity irks me, most especially on an important religious holiday
Seems insulting to the religion to me, but may be OK under Jewish procedures, Is this customary?
posted by: Tell The Truth on April 15, 2014 7:57am
NHI: the comment concerning the chocolate covered matzah is meant to be racist. Why would you print this? You've ignored my comments for less. The racial undertone is offensive and it should be removed.
[Editor's note: I honestly believe the commenter is expressing a preference for the taste of chocolate-covered matzah and a dislike for the taste of plain matzah. I don't see any ill will here.—Melissa]

The season has nearly reached its merciful conclusion. With just eight games remaining, the Orlando Magic are a few short weeks away from focusing all of their attention on the upcoming draft. Free agency will follow, then the relative quiet of the summer and early fall when the Magic will hibernate for the offseason.
With a months-long slumber on the horizon, sleep seems like an appropriate topic to write about. At last month's MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, the science of snoozing made for one of the most riveting panels of the weekend.
I know, I know. Riveting? But sleep, especially as it pertains to the NBA as a whole, and the Magic in particular, is of the utmost importance, and we're not talking about it enough in a society that lionizes those who sleep 10 hours a week — and even then, only in their offices.
Ask Dr. Charles Czeisler, the Harvard Medical school professor and former consultant to the Blazers and Celtics featured on the "Sleeping Giants" panel. Czeisler cited some rather compelling evidence for the primacy of rest:
Losing even one night of sleep significantly impairs reaction time and the ability to quickly spot visual signals. In a sport where tenths of a second are the difference between a timely defensive rotation and a dunk that ends up on SportsCenter, this stuff really matters. Lack of sleep also diminishes testosterone levels — a week of sleeping four hours a night can reduce a 25-year-old's testosterone level to that of a 36-year-old — and increases the body's inflammatory response.
That last line should raise all sorts of red flags for Orlando fans. This is a team that will be young for the foreseeable future, adding talent largely through the draft. It stands to reason that the Magic will target young players in free agency, too, the occasional veteran brought in for "leadership" not withstanding.
Youth is its own commodity in sports. The fresh-faced and fresh-legged bring undeniable athletic advantages in peak performance and energy expenditure. But sleep is the great equalizer. All the innocence of youth in the world can't overcome the effect that a week of reduced sleep has on the body. If Orlando is to maximize its advantages as the roster improves, the team must focus on keeping the players as thoroughly rested as possible.
It's a nice thought, at least in theory. But it's not like NBA teams don't understand the value of sleep on an intellectual level. They might not be fully aware that at a 30 percent reduction in cognitive capacity from sleep deprivation — a level readily reached during, say, a prolonged road trip while conventions and college tournaments are in town — is functionally equivalent to being drunk, but these are smart people who study the literature. They know that sleep matters.
But they still have to enact policies that fit into the hectic, nonstop schedule of an NBA team. In the aforementioned TrueHoop piece, former Portland GM Tom Penn told Beckley Mason about one approach the Blazers tried:
The conventional wisdom for handling road trips was to get on local time as quickly as possible. On Czeisler's advice, Nate McMillan's coaching staff moved everything back three hours to mimic the players' schedule back in the Pacific time zone. Remembers Penn: "The doctor convinced everyone that the circadian athlete rhythm peaks right in that 4 to 5 p.m. time and that's when our players would be playing. Four to five o'clock on their bodies, 7 or 8 o'clock local time. It was great."
For a West Coast team, that's a simple idea, and readily enacted. But Orlando, flying east to west has no such advantage. The Magic must forge their own unique path toward ensuring their players are rested.
And the players must do their part. In your early and mid-20s, it's all too easy to stay up for the majority of the night. That effect is amplified by late games that pump players full of adrenaline. Or by film study at the hotel or on the plane after the game, which involves critical thinking that delays the brain's transition into a resting state. Or by a player's choice to participate in extracurricular activities.
Some of that is intrinsic to the NBA schedule, a larger issue to which the importance of sleep speaks. But some of it is also controllable. The problem then becomes prioritization. How much film study is too much when sleep is on the line? If you push back the timetable, can that time be made up later, or will it cut into something else? Whose birthday party do you go out to after the game to celebrate, and when do you just go home after the game and play the PS4, which just keeps you up anyway?
Tucked in Central Florida, thousands of miles removed from potential opponents, the Magic face a unique set of challenges with regard to sleep, alongside these generic questions that affect every team. That makes them just like every other team in the league. There's no general prescription for the plague of restlessness that afflicts the Association. It's up to each organization, from ownership down to the trainers, to come up with the plan that best fits their team — and to properly implement and execute said scheme. It's just like anything else in the NBA.
The best laid plans can only get you so far. Best to sleep on it.
