There are, however, various constraints to the development of forest-based enterprises as demonstrated by the noticeable underdevelopment of industries in the state and the dearth of information regarding the status of existing forest-based industries - an important element to guiding targeted interventions. This policy brief presents an overview of existing forest-based enterprises in Meghalaya, focussing on some of the most important forest Cinnamon bark being sold at a roadside. products and identifying key areas and pathways Photo by H. Tynsong to developing forest-based enterprises that would generate income and employment for the poor. Forest-based enterprises in Meghalaya: status and constraints There is a general lack of secondary industries in Meghalaya as most of its products are exported and processed outside the state. Noting that the state is rich in forest resources, this implies the need to encourage enterprise activities that will add value to its forest products and in the process, generate more income and employment for its generally poor population. The lack of industry and underdevelopment of forest-based enterprises, however, equally imply that forest-based enterprise development is not easy. There is a lack of information about the status of forest-based enterprises, including the volume and value of supply and demand for certain products, who the market players are, etc. This explains the unrealistically low estimate of the contribution of forestry to the Net State Domestic Product as well as the relatively low government support for enterprise development. Recognizing this need, we conducted a study that identified forest products that have ready markets and which provide livelihood support to the rural poor of Meghalaya, including an analysis of the constraints and market potential of these products. Eleven forest products were selected based on data from different government offices (e.g. State Forest Department, Autonomous District Councils or ADCs); primary data were collected from public markets, vendors, and highway check points leading to nearby states and Bangladesh and interviews with key persons associated with marketing and trade of forest products. 1 This policy brief is derived from studies that looked at the status and prospects of forest-based enterprises and the experiences of NERCoRMP in Meghalaya (See www.cifor.cgiar.org/forestlink/_ref/home/project_doc.htm).

Livelihood Briefs Developing forest-based enterprises in Meghalaya 3 C I F O R August 2008 Number 11 enterprise development support must include the provision of business development and financial services and policy support. Business development and financial services aim to improve performance of enterprises in various business functions such as marketing, production, human resource, and finance. Policy support is an indirect intervention targeting the business environment of enterprises such as harvesting and trading regulations, taxation and other legal requirements, investment and development. provision of business development and financial services • Provision of price information: Price information should be made more transparent, specifically to improve accessibility of price information to the producers. The State government has just initiated posting commodity prices on the net (see http://megamb.gov.in/default. htm). This is a positive initiative but it needs improvement such as adding of prices of important forest products Medical plant being sold in Garo Hills Market. and market locations. Follow-up support should improve Photo by H.

This can be facilitated by products are also being produced there, thereby employing linking producers with buyers by sponsoring events or the poor in rural Meghalaya. It is apparent, however, that a lot places where producers could meet with buyers or by of these economic activities remain unnoticed or unrecorded direct assistance in contract production/buying between and are thereby not given due support, as demonstrated by producers and buyers. These interventions, however, the dearth of data on many of these products or by the huge require organisation among producers, which is not the discrepancies between recorded outputs in government case for most forest product producers in Meghalaya and agencies and estimates made by people involved in the poor producers in general. trade. • Organisation of producers: Organising forest product producers in Meghalaya is difficult considering that most The study details specific constraints for each forest product producers and collectors have not belonged to producer but it is observed that many of these constraints are rather organisations before as they have primarily a subsistence common across forest enterprises and especially to poor producers in Meghalaya. There is a substantial difference between the selling price received by the producers and the price of the same product (with no or minimal value- addition) when sold to final buyers. This can be attributed to many interrelated factors. As often reported, traders dictate prices and in many instances can depress the price simply by giving false information. This reveals a typical characteristic of these forest enterprises, of the market players, and the business environment: the producers are not organised, not informed, and are very poor; the physical infrastructures (e.g. roads, transport, storage) and business services (e.g. price information, credit, market linkages) are deficient or non-existent; the policy environment is either lax or too restrictive. areas for support and recommended strategies As shown by the variety of constraints and weaknesses, there are many things that need to be done to develop forest- based enterprises in Meghalaya to increase the income that Broom grass ready fot sale. goes to the poor from the trade of forest products.

Nevertheless, there are • Infrastructure development: Forest policies in the state already various initiatives that have proved effective in should change their focus to development as in the past increasing producers' bargaining power and lowering they have mostly been regulatory.

Hey everyone, I'm posting pics when I finished my cut. I'm like 145lbs in the pics...light, but I wanted to lose the fat and I did, but then I started a bulk and just pretty much pigged out for the past month (because I went to Ohio for vacation), so I gained quite a bit of fat now, so I'm deciding what I want to do...cut again then do the clean slow bulk that I didn't do, or just continue bulking but doing it right.
Well anyways here they are:

text: The Dominant Female... It is a difficult subject. What I can express with clarity is that in the scope of my life I have met no man I could not solve and in most cases step around and beyond. I am not certain what created this force within me, though I know that my husband tempered it. I do believe that the potentials of the High End Dominant/submissive originate within the DNA. Those that seem to carry the traits the strongest appear to descend from families of historical dominance. I believe that most women are naturally 'commanders' of their realm. Generally this is perceived to be their homes, children, families. They are the organizers, propellers, shelterers, comforters. They are the creators of life. They are the glue that holds the world together. Within this, other things are also true. The majority of women carry a submissive strain split that allows them to tolerate the 'dominant' man. And, most women emerge from conditional training toward how to 'submit' to men. The result is a confusion of instinct, social training, and angst. Emerging from this are a tiny number of women that stand up to openly reveal themselves. They are the antithesis of the bitchy, arrogant, self-serving female. This is the woman that comes to believe that the elements that are instinctively natural to her, enhance, improve and stabilize the world around her. If I follow my natural self it is to direct, inspire, control and insist on actions from those around me. Sometimes this is a subtle thing, other times it is exceedingly overt. When I was young I struggled greatly with this, for I felt there was a de-feminizing quality to it. Until I realized that the judgment or the critique was the viewpoint of others. To equate strength in a woman to masculinity is the cruelest of all. For what emerges from within me is the heart of my womanhood. This judgment is the final effort to control the uncontrollable dominant female through words of shame. There came a moment when I sundered the barriers and boundaries binding me. When I ceased viewing my own strength as anything but the purity within me. At that moment my laughter returned, my joy of life, my exuberance in the wonders surrounding me. In essence I gave myself permission to be free. The true dominant is the ultimate giver. Within me I know the power to elicit the deepest glorious responses from another human. I give to them the total freedom to be themselves. Giving this engages my whole essence. To find a mate whose natural response is true, who has a clarity of self to desire and glory in being totally loved, taken, cared for, chastened, prodded, held, is a priceless deeply sought honor. Even as the women have been conditioned to respond against themselves, so too have the men been conditioned that they must stand above a woman or not be a man. It is possible that I could make a reasonable life with a non-submissive man, but only if I withdrew core pieces of my soul. It is less possible that I could do even this much with a man that diminished the female, it is likely that I would learn him then try to take him apart. That would be devastation. The only possibility of true happiness is with a special man that believes within his very soul that he could give himself wholly to the right woman. To me, I find my greatest contentment in showering those I love with attention. I am tactile, visually and mentally triggered. With children this manifests as the mother presence. With a man it manifests as total domination of his world. I love to play, taste, touch, feel every part of a man. I love men. The way they look, smell, move. I love their physical mass. I like to challenge their mind and body to perform in ways they have never known and cannot achieve alone, for this is an intertwined inseparable bond. One of total trust, ultimate love, and true freedom.

Condition of Injured Occupy Oakland Protester Upgraded to Fair
More than 1,000 people gathered in Oakland Thursday night for a vigil for Scott Olsen, the Iraq War veteran who fractured his skull on Tuesday during an Occupy Oakland protest. Olsen was hit in the head by a police projectile. Hospital officials have upgraded Olsen's condition from critical to fair. He has woken up and is now awaiting brain surgery to relieve pressure on his brain from swelling. Olsen served two duties for the U.S. Marines in Iraq. Longtime California labor activist Clarence Thomas spoke at a rally on Thursday in Oakland.
Clarence Thomas: "Rubber bullets, gas, sticks, shock and awe, cannot stop this movement. There is an Iraqi (sic) veteran fighting for his life in Highland Hospital. He survived two tours in Iraq. But when he came home, he was shot at the war at home. There's two wars going on: there's a war abroad and a war at home."
Clarence Thomas of the International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union also praised calls by the Occupy Oakland General Assembly for a general strike in Oakland next week.
Oakland Mayor Quan Apologizes to Occupy Oakland
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan attempted to speak Thursday at the Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall. After she was denied a chance to speak, she recorded a video message and posted it on her Facebook page.
Mayor Jean Quan: "What I wanted to say to you tonight is how deeply saddened I am about the outcome on Tuesday. It's not what anyone hoped for. I understand it's my responsibility, and I want to apologize to everyone about what happened."
At the White House, Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about the police crackdown in Oakland.
Jay Carney: "We understand the frustrations that are being expressed, specifically with regard to the need to make sure that Main Street and Wall Street operate by the same set of rules, and the general frustration with the need for jobs and economic growth that creates opportunity for middle-class Americans. And certainly we have a long and noble tradition of free expression and free speech in this country. We also—it's also important that laws are upheld and obeyed. But that—I mean, that's a broad view. I haven't had a discussion about specific cities or instances with the President."
Police Raid Occupations in Nashville and San Diego
Police in Nashville, Tennessee, and San Diego, California, have raided Occupy Wall Street encampments early this morning. At least 30 people were arrested in Nashville. The activist Kuttin Kandi of the All People's Revolutionary Front Coalition witnessed the raid in San Diego.
Kuttin Kandi: "Cops started coming in, and the media wasn't allowed to get in. I couldn't even get in. And then they started arresting people, one by one. And then they started arresting the media. They arrested one of the media folks, I think the whole thing, and they arrested one of the organizers, Calli, as well. The cops started moving in, and then they started backing out of the area, like setting up like an almost like an army line. So they were starting to walk down the street and lining up as though they were calling out platoon lines. They even called it platoons. They were like, 'Platoon One!' And then they backed up. 'Platoon Two!' and then 'Platoon Three!' They were literally like army lines."
Arrest Total in Tucson Tops 350; Occupy Wall Street to March on Big Banks Today
In Arizona, the total number of people arrested at Occupy Tucson has now surpassed 350 since the protest began in the city two weeks ago. Here in New York City, organizers say thousands of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators will march today to the headquarters of Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
Study Confirms Wealth Distribution in United States is Most Unequal Among Industrialized Nations
A new study released Thursday has found the distribution of wealth in the United States is among the most unequal among industrialized nations. The United States ranked in the bottom five on a combination of issues including poverty prevention, health and access to education—ahead of only Greece, Chile, Mexico and Turkey. The study was done by the German-based Bertelsmann Foundation. Meanwhile, a new study here in the United States has found New York State has the highest income inequality of all 50 states and that the New York City metropolitan region has the highest income inequality of any large metro area.
St. Paul's Cathedral Moves to Evict Occupy London Stock Exchange Protesters
In London, St. Paul's Cathedral has announced it is seeking legal action to remove the Occupy London Stock Exchange protesters from its grounds 14 days after the protest began. Earlier this week, the cathedral's canon chancellor, Giles Fraser, resigned because he was afraid police would use violence to rid the cathedral grounds of protesters. Fraser said, "I cannot support using violence to ask people to clear off the land. It is not about my sympathies or what I believe about the camp. I support the right to protest and in a perfect world we could have negotiated... The church cannot answer peaceful protest with violence."
Thousands of Youth Activists March for Jobs in South Africa
Economic protests continue across the globe. In South Africa, some 2,000 Johannesburg youths marched on the Chamber of Mines and Stock Exchange Thursday to deliver a petition demanding big changes to an economy still controlled by the white minority. The marchers also called on President Jacob Zuma's government to do more to tackle the chronic unemployment blighting the continent's biggest economy.
Given Valashiya: "We're just reminding the president of the country to say, as the youth, we need jobs, you know, we need to gain in the economy. We also want to inform and say, you know, the issue of the land, it's important that we expropriate land without pay, so that those who are unemployed, they can also benefit on the land."
French Protesters Rally Outside Moody's Credit Rating Agency
In France, demonstrators rallied outside Moody's credit rating agency in Paris on Thursday. Protesters said the firm is contributing to the worsening of the European economic crisis by cutting the ratings of countries' sovereign debts.
Protester: "Today we're here to contest the fact that it's the credit rating companies that decide the policy of European states. It's not up to them to decide, make decisions that will hit workers, the retired, the jobless, etc., etc."
Chilean Student Movement Predicts Downfall of Chilean President
In Chile, student protest leader Camila Vallejo predicted Thursday the movement will lead to the downfall of President Sebastián Piñera. The protesters say Chile's education system is profit-driven and provides poor instruction. The billionaire Piñera is the first conservative president to rule Chile since democracy returned in 1990 after Gen. Augusto Pinochet's bloody dictatorship. In recent months, Camila Vallejo has emerged as the face of the student movement.
Camila Vallejo: "We are at a difficult time, knowing we have to resist with unity and trying to generate some fissures. But the fight will last much longer, and it's important to temper our expectations. We have very high expectations. We must think in terms of short, medium and long term, because what we've achieved as a movement is very nice. We've proposed deep changes, structural changes, to build a better society."
Report: U.S. Operates Secret Drone Base in Ethiopia
In other news, the Washington Post has revealed the U.S. Air Force has begun secretly flying armed Reaper drones from a remote civilian airport in southern Ethiopia as part of a rapidly expanding U.S.-led proxy war in East Africa. The airfield in Arba Minch, Ethiopia, is part of a constellation of secret drone bases in the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa. The Air Force has confirmed the location of the drone base and said an unspecified number of Air Force personnel are working in Ethiopia. The Air Force also operates drones from the tropical archipelago Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and from the tiny African nation of Djibouti.
NATO to End Libya Operations
In news from Libya, NATO said Thursday it will end its Libya operations at the end of the month following a decision by the U.N. Security Council to cancel its mandate covering the seven-month-old NATO military mission. At the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice urged the new Libyan leaders to incorporate all aspects of Libyan society in the new government.
Ambassador Susan Rice: "We have the prospect for a free and inclusive Libya in which the aspirations of the Libyan people can finally be realized in the wake of the transition that's underway. We're very concerned that, as we move forward, that the authorities make maximum effort to swiftly form an inclusive government that incorporates all aspects of Libyan society and in which the rights of all Libyan people are fully and thoroughly respected, regardless of their gender, their religion, their region of origin, etc."
Gaddafi Family to File War Crimes Complaint Against NATO
The family of deceased Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi has announced plans to file a war crimes complaint against NATO with the International Criminal Court. Members of the family believe NATO's actions led to Gaddafi's death last week. On Thursday, Libya's interim government said it would prosecute anyone found responsible for the death of Gaddafi after his capture, in a retreat from its earlier insistence that the dictator had been killed by crossfire.
Study: Radioactive Release in Japan Twice as Large as Estimated
A new report out of Japan has found the Fukushima nuclear disaster released twice as much radioactive cesium-137 into the atmosphere as Japanese authorities estimated. The Norwegian Institute for Air Research says the amount released was about 42 percent of the total from Chernobyl—the world's worst nuclear disaster. The study said about a fifth of the cesium fell on land in Japan, while most of the rest fell into the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, 100 women from Fukushima have begun a three-day sit-in outside the Tokyo office of Japan's Ministry of Economy, calling for the evacuation of children from areas with high radiation levels and the closing of nuclear power plants in Japan.
Obama Relies on Lobbyists to Raise Millions for Campaign
In campaign news, President Obama is relying on a group of prominent supporters who are active in the lobbying industry to raise millions of dollars for his re-election bid, despite a pledge not to take money from lobbyists. The New York Times reports at least 15 of Obama's "bundlers" are involved in lobbying for Washington consulting shops or private companies. They have raised more than $5 million so far for the campaign. Bundlers are supporters who contribute their own money to a campaign and solicit it from others. A number of the bundlers have hosted Obama at fundraisers, while also visiting the White House on policy matters and official business. Obama's bundlers include Sally Susman, who leads Pfizer's powerful lobbying shop, and David Cohen, who oversees lobbying at Comcast.
NYC Shooting Victim Sues NYPD After Being Held at Police Station
A Brooklyn woman who was wounded by a stray bullet, then held by the New York City Police Department for five days, has announced plans to file suit against the city for $5 million. Takesha Griffin was struck in the leg by a stray bullet a block from her apartment on September 3. Her friend drove her to a nearby hospital, and because there was a shooting involved in her injury, the police investigated. After her wound was bandaged, she was cuffed to a gurney and taken to the 73rd Precinct. While in police custody, Griffin, a single mother to a nine-year-old boy, claims she was left handcuffed to a police desk for three days straight. Refused an escort to the bathroom, she says she urinated on herself. Griffin claims the police denied her a sanitary napkin and fed her one McDonald's hamburger each day.
Female Workers at Wal-Mart File New Sex Discrimination Lawsuit
Former and current female employees at Wal-Mart have filed a new sex discrimination lawsuit against the retailer giant in California. The plaintiffs are alleging the company denied them pay raises and promotions because of gender bias. The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of workers only in California. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court dismantled a class action case of up to 1.5 million current and former Wal-Mart workers across the country. Lawyers say the California lawsuit is the first in a series of complaints that will be filed in different regions in the next three to six months.

Hey, I thought it was a really great story. My only criticism, while I realize this is fantasy, is why does everyone write the virgin cums in the end? I distinctly remember losing my virginity in a non-rape situation and there is no way in hell I could have cum. It just seems like the most unlikely element in non-consent stories.
Again, I respect fantasy play but just once I want to read a more realistic reaction from the victim.by PerieMason01/02/12Click here to leave your own comment on this submission! or

"That reminds me of the Iraqi national sport, k'a'a'lla'alallaala'alaball.
Two teams face each other on a court marked out by the bones of infidels. A goat is brought on to the field and fed a bushel of the legendary sa'mamas'ammaamama'asa berries, which causes immediate and involuntary shitting. The players wait expectantly until loud rumbling sounds are heard from the goat's belly, and then the game is on! The bleating incontinent goat is passed from player to player, spraying vile green fecal matter in such quantities that the unfortunate players are soaked in moments. As liquid diarrhea fountains out of the goat's ass like a 3rd world Super Soaker, the remaining players beat their chests while flagellating their backs and begging Allah to purge them for their fathers' sins.
The winning team is the one that has the most Shi'ite players."

the first shot came out pretty bad. it was about 2am when the resin went off, but hadnt peeked out the vac source yet. so i inflated the pressure in the bladder to 80psi while the vac was still on. it pushed the resin feed line out of the mold. i reacted quickly and stuck it back in, and allowed resin to flow out. however, once the resin was purged, air shot back into the mold through that line. i stared at it for what seemed like forever and wondered where all the dang bubbles were coming from, but i was thinking in reverse... it wasnt air being pushed out, it was air sucking into the laminate because the vacuum was still on. 2am brain fart. duhr...
i also determined later that the bladder did in fact have a leak. enter the soapy water/windex leak detection method. so far so good. i have layed up another part and expect to open it either tomorrow or the next day, and will relay the results then. so for now, the process works, in theory... i believe with fine tuning i can get nice parts eventually. maybe even the part i have curing now will come out nice, i hope. -david ImagesView all Images in thread

To infuse without flow media you have to control the distance between the bladder and the mold wall. With typical vacuum infusion the vacuum bag is pressed down upon the fabric and mold wall via atmospheric pressure. The more atmospheric pressure pressing against bagging film the tighter the fibers are pressed together. The tighter the fibers a pressed together the harder the infusion becomes and the higher the vacuum level required to properly infuse. This is why flow media is required. The flow media creates space to allow the resin to flow. If you can control the space between the bagging film/bladder and the mold surface you can infuse with very low vacuum levels. One process that I devised uses infusion at 5" Hg. Then a pressure bladder is used to debulk the infusion. I can't share more and I can't figure out how to practically do your part shape with any of my techniques. |

Adam - gotcha, I think, very cool indeed. I'll ponder
Chetosmachine- the original goal was to create net shape parts without needing to do a wet layup, or touch wet resin aside from mixing it. That way, theoretically somebody could just load up a mold with fabric, close it up, infuse, pressurize, and wait. That way the skillset for a nicely done wet layup wouldn't need to be developed by every person who wanted or needed to make a part... That was the goal anyways. So far the end results' benefits do not outweigh the headaches, yet, for me anyways. I'll keep tinkering -david |
Feb 15, 2012, 06:04 PM | |
thanks Dbox
Ward - i dont know if fishing line is the best, but ive tried a few different materials to get the job done. commercially available media ive tried i have found to be too rigid to fit inside the tighter radius curves of this particular part. another possibility is drywall tape... i actually tried a little bit of it on the last shot so i will be able to see how it effected the infusion, and maybe determine if it is hurting, neutral, or adding to the overall part strength... as for injecting the resin... no, unless i had a rigid bladder or mandrel of some sort. i tried injecting the resin in at 5 psi once on a test panel.. i figured it woulndt work too well if at all, but i had to see it. all that happens (with soft bagging film or any other non-rigid mold material) is the same thing that happens when you fill up a waterballon - the laminate doesn't infuse any faster, it just blows a resin bubble up right near the resin supply, expanding the bag as the resin gets pumped in. then the resin just sorta sits there until gravity or the vacuum pulls it to the dry parts of the laminate. inside a closed mold environment like with this particular experiment/method, i think the same thing would happen around the resin source. i would have no idea it was happening because i cant see anything, but thats my best guess. at some point i do want to try it with a rigid bladder/mandrel, however. -david |

Self motivated guy. Very honest and outgoing. Student of all things
life. Graduated some years ago and have been working on my masters
degree. I have started a business in town and work pretty hard at
improving that daily. I run the store full time, substitute teach,
take grad school classes, with all that unfortunately my nights and
weekends are often busy, so my chances to get out as much are not
as common as they once were, which brings me here. The grand
experiment which is the real world after college has certainly been
different than I thought, but I wouldn't change a thing.
