- Rachel and Lucy push their full figures together and kiss passionately. Deep and sensual kissing where tongues and lips explore in the most intimate way. These are the kind of women who like to take control, to grab another woman, squeeze her tight and not let her go till they've made her legs shake in orgasmic bliss! As Lucy pulls on Rachel's beautifully plump breasts with her mouth you can feel the horniness of the girls in the air. When they lap at each other's pussies they do so with a lingering indulgence as they suckle and tease labia and clit in their mouths. Lucy loves to receive anal penetration to reach a climax and allows Rachel to probe with a finger while her tongue stimulates her clitoris in a 69 position. Rachel prefers to have her favourite toy which is shaped especially to reach her G-spot and make her orgasm strongly.

Uttermost 21079 3 Light Legato Scavo Glass Kitchen Island Light
Be the first to write a review
Product Description
Available while supplies last.
This 3 light scavo glass kitchen island light by Uttermost works with three 100-watt frosted incandescent bulbs. Part of the Legato collection.
The linear complexity of this design is unique and intriguing, yet somehow very simple with its own quiet elegance. This collection can move easily from casual through contemporary, and the classic shape of the Indian Scavo glass softens and relaxes the effect to give it a long term appeal.

DapperDan Show all reviews | Excellent value for a very refined scent Stumbled on this scent at a Duane Reade pharmacy in NYC. As far as I can tell it's one of the only places you can find St. James of London shave products for retail sale in the US. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. I was immediately struck by it's similarity to Terre d'Hermes, one of my faves, in terms of the basic structure, though it is a milder and more "British" version. It's got very similar notes with a citrus/herbaceous top, and a woody cedar/patchouli mid/bottom; "Complete your shave with the soothing mineral notes of Spicy Pepper, sweetened with Bay Rose, Geranium and Patchouli wrapped around Atlas Cedar to enhance the earthy notes." I have continued to use it as a go to fragrance for the past few years and it never disappoints. It is a bright and uplifting scent and very masculine to my nose. The quality is very high for the price and it never feels synthetic or cloying. For an aftershave cologne it has fairly good longevity but stays pretty close to the skin after the first hour or two. There is a matching shave cream of the same name which is also an excellent product and a fantastic value. If you can find some of this juice and you're into scents like Terre d'Hermes I would definitely recommend giving it a try. 10th September, 2013 |
odysseusm Canada Show all reviews | The opening citrus notes are pleasant. They are followed by a bit of spice and a fresh, minty note. The cedar starts as a light wood tone and gains in strength and has great longevity. This is listed as a post-shave product but it is substantial enough to be used as a scent. Great value. 01st May, 2012 |

Value Capture: Myth or Reality? AICP CM 1.5Capturing the value of public transit investments can be a tricky business. Everybody has a vested interest. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Value capture strategies include joint development, special assessment districts, tax increment financing and development impact fees. But how much of the value actually makes it back to the transit agency? Where have these strategies been successful and why? What does the FTA think about value capture? Explore the concepts of value capture, learn from real projects and hear the latest thinking directly from the FTA.Moderator: DavidM.Levinson, Professor, Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota

KSTP reports on proposed legislation for a Municipal Street Improvement District.
Instead of using money from property taxes, cities could use yearly tax assessments for on-going upgrades. Erhardt says it's a good investment strategy that actually saves money in the long run. "Wasted money, temporary stuff, into the potholes which will blow out of there in short time and it's not the potholes, it is the road deteriorating that bad."
As a believer in local autonomy and road maintenance, this seems a good idea. This is a form of value capture, similar to Special Assessments, though different in some important, subtle, legal ways.
The League of Minnesota Cities says:
Existing funding mechanisms for street maintenance and reconstruction are inadequate. Special assessments can be onerous to property owners and are difficult to implement for some cities. Special assessments are not always useful for funding collector streets and other streets that do not abut private property. Property tax dollars are generally not dedicated and are sometimes diverted to more pressing needs such as public safety, water quality and cost participation in state and county highway projects. Municipal state aid (MSA) is limited to cities over 5,000 population of 853 cities in Minnesota–and cannot be applied to more than 20% of a MSA city's lane miles. Existing MSA is not keeping up with needs on the MSA system.
The Altoona Mirror reports that Altoona Pennsylvania adopts Land Value Tax, sadly the report headlines on confusion. Altoona property tax bills confuse property owners :
"City Council voted to adopt "land value tax" in 2002, on the urging of The Center for the Study of Economics in Philadelphia, whose president, Joshua Vincent, had made a presentation the year before.
Land value tax shifts the basis for property tax to assessed value of land and away from assessed value of buildings. It's designed to encourage development and discourage speculative hoarding of ground.
While 16 cities and two school districts in Pennsylvania use land value tax, Altoona this year became the first municipality in the country to go as far as to rely on land value alone.
Council introduced the practice with a 20-percent shift toward taxing on land alone, followed by successive annual shifts of 10 percent, until the transformation was complete.
Because collective assessed value of land in the city is one-seventh as much as assessed value of land and buildings combined, the city had to increase millage by a factor of seven to generate the same revenue.
That land millage is now 369 mills.
Applied to the $24.59 million assessed value of land in the city, it generated $9 million for 2011, theoretically.
Because the new millage is seven times higher than the millage under the old system, individual property owners pay less if their land value is less than one-seventh of their total assessed value – the amount that was the basis for taxation under the old system.
Conversely, owners pay more if their land value is more than one-seventh of their total assessed value."

Brad Cooper at the Kansas City Star reports on their Transportation Utility Fee: Mission exempts churches from 'driveway tax' :
Mission is giving in a little on an innovative, but heavily criticized way to fund road work.
The city this week agreed to exempt churches and some non-profit groups from a transportation fee that was intended to collect money for roads based on properties that generate the most traffic.
Touted as an alternative way to pay for roads short of raising property taxes, the fee set off a firestorm of complaints last year from critics who labeled it a "driveway tax."
It prompted two churches — First Baptist Church of Mission and St. Pius X Catholic Church in Mission – to bring a lawsuit to halt the fee. The churches were represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, an Arizona legal organization that advocates for religious freedom.
The churches accused the city of violating state law by imposing a tax dressed up as a fee. Their lawyer equated the fee to taxing churchgoers.
City Administrator Mike Scanlon said today that the council agreed to exempt the churches if the Alliance Defense Fund dropped the lawsuit. The ordinance approved by the City Council takes effect Oct. 11. Scanlon declined to comment on the lawsuit.
Last year, Mission became the first city in Kansas — and possibly in the Midwest — to impose what is called a transportation utility fee on property owners to help pay for roads.
The fee is based on how much traffic each property produces. It shifts the burden for financing roadwork away from single-family homes that may not generate a lot of traffic, to properties such as box stores and government offices, which generate more traffic.
Homeowners will pay $72 a year in fees while the local Target store will pay about $46,000. According to the suit, First Baptist has been assessed $970.77 and St. Pius $1,685.19.
The fee generates about $830,000 a year. The decision to exempt the churches and some non-profits such as charities will cost the city about $70,000, Scanlon said today. Other non-profits, like government buildings, would still have to pay the fee.
The fee is intended to help the city bankroll a 10-year, $30 million plan for improving city roads. The city also plans to ask voters this fall to extend a quarter cent sales tax to contribute to the road plan.
The transportation fee coupled with the sales tax could bring the city about $15 million. Mission will count on other sources, like the state and federal governments, to help pay for the rest of the road plan,"
See our paper: Junge, Jason and David Levinson (2010) Economic and equity effects of transportation utility fees. Presented at 89th Transportation Research Board Conference, January 2010, Washington , DC. Journal of Transport and Land Use (in press).
Disclosure: I did a very very small amount of consulting for Mission KS appearing via Skype at a workshop on this fee about a year ago.
From the Kansas City Star: Mission considers road fee that would link properties, street use
Mission, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, is looking at implementing a Transportation Utility Fee to raise revenue.
(I get interviewed briefly).
From the WaPo Commercial property owners may be asked to pay for part of streetcar costs
Commercial property owners along 37 miles of planned routes for a D.C. streetcar system may be asked to foot the bill for a quarter or more of the $1.5 billion system proposed by Mayor Adrian M. Fenty.
DC is looking at Business Improvement Districts among others.

Goody Cole's for some smokin' good Texas ribs
Tuesday, June 24, 2014
It's a curious and unassuming place located on Route 125 in Brentwood about a mile south of the Route 101 intersection. The building is barn red with no flashing neon lights to urge passersby to stop. What caught our attention was the large word "BARBEQUE" on the side of the building and a nearby smokestack. Other than that, it reminds of a typical mom and pop eatery, many of which have been put out of business by the big chains. In fact, Goody Cole's sits just down the street from a bunch of chain restaurants - Burger King, McDonald's, Quizno's, Applebee's and a few more. We doubt, however, they are any threat to Goody Cole's after finally paying a visit. Goody Coles' is not a chain. According to a framed copy of a news article on the wall, it is the result of one man's passion - Doug Linehan - that led to a fight to survive after being laid off from his full-time job. Perhaps this is why Goody Cole's offers nothing fancy other than real hickory-smoked barbecue, not some pre-slathered pretense. This is dry-rub barbecue, Texas style.
This means that at Goody's you get a good tasting rib, well seasoned by the smoking process. What you do to the ribs beyond that is up to you - if anything.
If you've never been before you might be like us in blocking the doorway while trying to figure out where to go and how to order. |

Yankee Doodle,
once again: we don't have a president. We have a prime minister. Prime ministers are unelected whereever you go. Spain, UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, etc.
They need, however, the backing of the Parliament. Why so? If we had a 2-party system, the head of government would be the one getting the most votes. As we have a multi-party system, even the most voted party is in the minority, and parties have to form coalitions; so the right place to decide on the prime minister is the Parliament.
USA polls are "the winner takes all" type, so it makes it impossible for a third party to get representation. Each state has two senators, so even if 30% of the population voted for a third party, it could still get no representation. Their votes would be completely wasted.
In Europe, if 10% of the population votes for a party, it gets more or less 10% of seats. By the way, the European Parliament is fully elected (7 parties got representation last time). I don't know what you mean by "House of Eurocrats" whose members commoners can't vote.
Our system is, if anything, more democratic than the US one.
"All treaties may be revoked."
The US is a young nation and, thus, it has never suffered decay. All Europeans know, due to its history, that Constitutions may be revoked, too. If the US declines and internal differences between US states arise, you'll learn how Constitutions may be revoked, and how one nation may give birth to many.

The EU does not allow commoners to vote for their own president! Only Eurocrats may do so. The EU upper house, the House of Eurocrats does not permit commoners to vote for it's members. Commoners only vote for members of the House of Commoners. You call this Democracy? The old European aristocracy is gone but the new Eurocrats have replaced them.
A constitution protects people from government and a treaty protects governmental interests from other governments. All treaties may be revoked. What is Lisbon about? Does the EU have a constitutional government?
There are dozens of US political parties. Only two matter, but I may join any of these.
Are you permitted to vote for the President of the European Commission?
The EU is a noble dream, and a lot of progress to create it has ocurred. There is work left to do, creating a constitution and a democracy may well yet occur. Americans paid a price to bring freedom and democracy to Europe, my father is still disabled. We hope that Europeans value and protect their human rights and their democracy since we also paid the price for them.
Yankee Doodle,
the European system is just different. In the UK there is no constitution, but human rights are fully respected. Europe is not a 2-party presidentialist system, as the US is. Europe is a multi-party system where the prime minister (President of the European Commission) is the highest political post, as is in most European nations.
I personally think having 5 different political parties is more democratic than having just 2, as in the US. Moreover, your Constitution is not sacred and can be ammended without your voting (unlike most European national constitutions), and it didn't prevent all kind of human-right abuses in the past. I think it is safest to look at independent records of human rights, and you'll see most European nations at the top.
On the unified currency, well, you are wrong. The UK and Denmark could opt out of the euro (they will get in the euro in the next decades, anyway), but all other EU countries have commited to the euro. Those still using their national currencies are in a transition to the euro.
As surprising as it may be to you, Sweden, Poland, etc. have already signed and ratified the Treaties whereby they will introduce the euro within a reasonable time. They can be fined and even excluded from the common market if they don't.
"Europe lacks political unity, the EU has yet to develop a constitution, democracy, a unified currency, or even a central bank. A unifying language would be good as well."
As I explained above, we don't need a constitution, we already have democracy and we are in transition to a unified currency. A unifying language would go against diversity, and so against EU principles ("United in diversity"). Shall I conclude the EU is already politically united?
Yankee Doodle,
"All true of course. If the euro is soon worth three US dollars, will Boeing or AirBus cost less then?"
I'd say if the dollar has crashed, it isn't as good for Boeing. Its carbon-fiber parts (35% of the Dreamliner's workshare) are made in Japan, and many of its clients are based in the US.
If the euro has skyrocketed against all other currencies, then exports would suffer.
Right now, it is the dollar and the pound that are crashing, and it is the yen that is skyrocketing. It can't get worse for Boeing.
(Not that I like it, mind you... the US is a great country; I just think it needs to change direction in a couple of issures).
Strictly speaking wrote: "...Are you for real? Do you really think that there is no democracy in Europe, or that human rights are not guaranteed there? The ignorance is staggering..."
Your human rights are guaranteed nationally, but the EU does not guarantee them with a constitution, but with a matrix of treaties that all could be revoked tomorrow. Currently the ECHR holds (per Ireland v UK 1979) that the methods employed at Guantanamo are not torture, and goes beyond US law to say that police beatings of terrorism suspects are not torture either. You being European, don't hear of such things, do you?
Eurocrats run Europe, and the EU level of democracy is limited to the House of Commoners (I know, the name is a rhetorical device). Only Eurocrats may vote for the upper house, the House of Eurocrats. Only Eurocrats may vote for your president. So, aside from the House of Commoners, may a commoner in the EU vote for anything else?
Strictly speaking wrote: "...As a matter of fact, the world's largest exporter in recent years has been Germany, bigger than the US or China. This may come as a surprise, but Germany is, in fact, part of the EU and, yes, they do use the Euro there."
All true of course. If the euro is soon worth three US dollars, will Boeing or AirBus cost less then?
Diego Mýndez wrote: 'Yankee Doodle, the US Administration has been actively contributing to the debasing of the US dollar: ... 2) A Third-World-like 13% deficit is the Administration's fault.
No it is Congress that has responsibility for all spending. No President may spend one dollar or change any budget without Congressional permission. All US power belongs to Congress on all issues, except for military and diplomatic issues.
Consider however that Belgium has been twice as irresponsible fiscally and Japan four times worse.
Diego Mýndez wrote: 3) In boom times, the US Administration was comfortable with 7% deficits to pay for unnecessary, futile wars. No long-term planning.
Wars have almost nothing to do with US deficits. They cost about a half percent. US casualties decrease in wartime, training is more dangerous with worse conditions.
I like the idea that Europe will prosper even if the US does not. I am an American and so not given to envy. You however might reflect upon how well Europe does when the UD falters...
Yankee Doodle wrote: "no one paying workers in euros will export anything to anyone not paid in euros."
As a matter of fact, the world's largest exporter in recent years has been Germany, bigger than the US or China. This may come as a surprise, but Germany is, in fact, part of the EU and, yes, they do use the Euro there.
Yankee Doodle wrote: "The EU should however give preceedence to getting a constitution to ensure human rights and democracy, and only then focus on the economy"
Are you for real? Do you really think that there is no democracy in Europe, or that human rights are not guaranteed there? The ignorance is staggering...
Yankee Doodle,
the US Administration has been actively contributing to the debasing of the US dollar:
1) The Fed could not print money without consulting the Government, as it is the Government who will be draining the liquidity a couple of years' from now (the Fed prints money to buy Government debt, inflation spikes, then the Government has to emit new debt to get the excess liquidity and destroy that money).
2) A Third-World-like 13% deficit is the Administration's fault.
3) In boom times, the US Administration was comfortable with 7% deficits to pay for unnecessary, futile wars. No long-term planning.
But we're going off-topic. Let's talk about military spending. US magazines always write about China and Russia being military powers, and Europe having no serious military. Let's see the stats on aircraft carriers in service and in construction. US, 12 carriers. Europe (UK, France, Italy and Spain combined): 9 carriers. Russia, 1 carrier. China, 0 carriers, and can't even figure out how to build them. Somehow, it doesn't feel like Europe is the weakling.
The same could be said for about any advanced military technology. After all, it is the US that needs European know-how to build air fuel tankers. And the problems at A400M are due to the powerplant, which is designed to be the most powerful turboprop in the world, ahead of US and Russian ones.
The Eurofighter Typhoon had its share of problems, too. But now we can agree it has been a success, and is one of the best fighters in service.
Anyway, the European focus is not on war, but on peace and trade. You kill and threaten your enemies, we seduce them and turn them into parts of our ever growing family of nations. Look in the long term: 20 years from now, the EU will have probably absorbed the Balkans, Turkey and Ukraine and will be switly transforming Russia, northern Africa and Iraq with membership promises. A EU on the verge of becoming a 1-billion-strong democratic, united family of economically developed and technologically advanced nations.
The US, meanwhile, with a third of EU's population, half the EU economy and unable to expand, will cancel in 2030 the latest failed attempt at building its first high-speed line in order to increase its military spending to 10% and have the best weapons.
Diego Mýndez wrote: "Yankee Doodle, ..."On the long term, it is pretty obvious that Europe cannot depend on US technology for its own weapons. Galileo (the European GPS), the A400M, etc. may be more expensive in the short term, but absolutely necessary in the long term if Europe is to have an independent foreign policy.
Europe lacks political unity, the EU has yet to develop a constitution, democracy, a unified currency, or even a central bank. A unifying language would be good as well. Don't take this wrong, but don't you think that the EU should address and resolve some of these issues first? You are talking about a European foreign policy and a military as though either exists?
The EU is utterly dependent upon the United States for defense and has been for generations. The only reason that your children do not have swastikas in their classroom is the United States (and USSR). You cannot yet dream of any foreign policy, you first need to create your fine new nation. The EU remains a fine dream, and if you want it to ever be more than a flag you need to lay the foundation first.
Diego Mýndez wrote: "Yankee Doodle, if the US people support debasing the dollar (which effectively means lower wages) to be more competitive, you will go the Mexico way. No infrastructure, no safety net, no long-term planning, but really low wages."
Diego Mýndez, good points. No one in the US supports inflating the dollar, but the Federal Reserve decides, and the Fed is not part of our government, nor is it accountable to the people (deliberately). It is a private corporation with stockholders that control it.
The US housing market is why. Only a bit of inflation will bring values up to a level where the loans don't go bad. There is no real choice. Then there will be a serious anti-inflation program.
The US is tough and is very adaptible. It might work, it might not, but the US has committed. Americans have almost always worked really hard for really low wages. If we really have to again, yes we will. Yes we can.
Europeans will not adapt to global realities and for this reason will make nineteen times what Americans make. I am fine with that, if it works for you. To the winner goes the prize.
Europe will not become a military power. You have the people, (I have fought alongside Brits and Poles) but the EU is too damm cheap. A serious military costs serious money. What is 6% of EU GDP? What does the EU now spend? Read this article: the cheap EU is seriously trying to turn an excellent airliner into a horrid military transport. Why? Because the EU is cheap and has no idea of what a military aircraft is.
There is an honorable way out of this if the US and EU work together. The EU abbandons the A400 and in turn the US buys tanker transports from Airbus. the world saves billions wasted on two over budget systems based on political fixes not military need, the Jobs in EU are saved by moving them to make the tanker transports and the US/Boeing sell a lot more C-17, which is a much more capable aircraft. In these economic times we can't keep propping up franco-German white elephants.
Carlos Collaco: Indeed the only bright economic path to our future involves "building on existing joint projects, sharing technology, freeing markets, exploring new avenues for mutual gain so that we may come closer to a win-win situation."
I expect the euro to become stronger and stronger and for this reason, exports will lag. Yes, I predicted this crisis (but not the timing) as it is merely a repeat of history. History teaches that in any crisis there will be increasing protectionism and economic disunity. For many good reasons the ECB will not inflate the euro and AirBus will then become uncompetitive. Given these presumptions AirBus can survive, but not if it keeps a workforce paid in euros.
Sure I could be wrong.
Yankee Doodle:
I am not a doomsday prophet nor do I like to anticipate ominously the end of Airbus as we've known it thus far.Nor do I believe there is any solid evidence that the company's break-up is imminent.
Just as apparently no-one predicted that so many of America's household names in the banking, financial and industrial sectors would be written off or rescued by the taxpayers as we've witnessed during the last year or so!
You might even be right with some of your forecasting - who knows(?) - the world has been changing so much faster lately isn't it?
I happen to hold the longer term view that the US, Europe, China, Japan, India, Russia, Brazil, etc, need to survive together building on existing joint projects, sharing technology, freeing markets, exploring new avenues for mutual gain so that we may come closer to a win-win situation.
I do not like even the thought that some industrial projects should be killed in their infancy so that mature adult ones may live on unperturbed.
This is not far-fetched at all, it is about striving for some balance and social and technological advancement everywhere.
I love Boeing for its excellent planes and pioneering achievements in aviation.
It does not diminish one bit my love of Airbus as a major competitor based in Europe some of whose countries have equally strong pioneering traditions in plane-making too.
In fact, the rise of Airbus is only a natural European resurgence following decades of American dominance of the skies strengthened in the wake of WW2 when part of industrial Europe was devastated or too exhausted to match America.
Taking it to cars I love Toyota but I would still love to see GM pull through this rough patch.
I know the laws of economics to be unforgiving but your line of thinking would ultimately lead to a survival-of-the-incumbents-only with dire consequences for large parts of the world.
The C17 was ALWAYS a far more capable aircraft and, in any sane world, would have been the one purchased.
Politics rarely being sane, the European military (and taxpayers) are once again lumbered with equipment that will never perform despite paying a higher price for it.
OF COURSE the A400M should be abandoned (& Airbus left to pour its resources into its very capable and successful civilian airliners). But OF COURSE it won't happen.
The tragedy is that, unlike most military purchases, these transports really matter. It's one thing for Britain's Defence (of BaE) Ministry to waste untold billions on destroyers, fighters and tanks that don't work properly - in today's world they will never be used in anger anyway. But shoddy purchases (as at present) in transports, helicopters, troop carriers and even rifles do cost soldiers' lives. And that is an unacceptable price for propping up a deadbeat industry.
Yankee Doodle,
if the US people support debasing the dollar (which effectively means lower wages) to be more competitive, you will go the Mexico way. No infrastructure, no safety net, no long-term planning, but really low wages.
We Europeans will be happy to have great infrastructure and a reasonable safety net, plan for the future, earn twice as you and be utterly uncompetitive.
On the long term, it is pretty obvious that Europe cannot depend on US technology for its own weapons. Galileo (the European GPS), the A400M, etc. may be more expensive in the short term, but absolutely necessary in the long term if Europe is to have an independent foreign policy.
Carlos Collaco: You are correct, the German economy used to do well even with a high wage basis. The EU might be able to exploit that niche. If AirBus is that much better than the much cheaper Boeing model ... and good luck with that strategy. I expect that AirBus will be broken up with France retaining the key core and China other important parts. France is perfectly positioned to eventually take the European part. China under license will build the aircraft.
No one that I know of has ever looked down on the euro, why would we care either way? The only place that there is debate is within the EU, because the euro only matters there. Americans just convert to whatever currency, only the conversion rate matters to us.
As for the A400M, I take the CEO at his words "horror without end". The A400M could transport NATO to distant lands very well right now, but it will never be a combat aircraft like the C-17. Just buy a regular AirBus. The A400M program was the result of the reluctance of Eurocrats to send that much money to Boeing, and their failure to understand what a combat capable military transport actually does. They do not land at airports and if they get shot down, there is no drinking water, no tanks, and no ammo. War over.
The EADS CEO feels as he does, and I tend to think that he knows more than you or I about the A400M. The fact that you (and Europe) feel that there needs to be any debate at this point illustrates exactly what is wrong with this project and why it got to where it is. Your most knowlegeable Business person called it a "horror, but the EU politics and the EU's nationalistic feelings keep driving the A400M. Fine by me.
Yankee Doodle:
On a strong currency: The Euro - initially looked down by both Americans and British then with respect for a monetary unit that has consistently proved reliable and yes, having appreciated relevantly versus the dollar in the not-so-near past.
You will know that before the Euro's advent, Europe's soundest economy had the mighty Deutsche Mark, a stable upvalued currency that didn't prevent Germany from taking up the first 3 spots in the league of the world's major exporters.German wage levels/labour costs were among the highest in the world too.The point I'm trying to drive home is that it is all about companies being run efficiently, striking a balance between all variables to improve all-round competitiveness.
Airbus turned in a sweet profit last year after the previous year's dip retaining its market position as a competitive builder of fine aircraft.
I do not underestimate the technical complexities of building a top-notch military air transport.Those can surely be dealt with within a realistic timespan by Airbus' design engineers.
As I wrote earlier it is much easier to buy off the shelf an existing-already-tested airplane than to build one nearly from scratch.
It may even be - as you clearly indicate - that for now it makes a great deal more economic sense to scrap the A400M programme altogether and each European Air Force will order the C-17 or any other, if available.
I believe there isn't just one criterion but a set of criteria lined up before the people who will be called upon to make a final decision on the fate of the A400M.
As it stands my view is that the case has not yet been made in support of the idea that the A400M threatens becoming a financially balloning white elephant, and should it take to the skies, too heavy to manoeuvre, too visible to go unnoticed and too brittle that it may burst at the seams should it make a sudden dive...
Carlos Collaco wrote:..."The only major Airbus partner country not in the Eurozone is the UK but that does not seem to have hampered its participation in the project."
I doubt your assertion. The price for the C-17 has dropped and the A400M is greatly more expensive in pounds. The Brits do indeed care about cost. The A400M does not yet exist and the C-17 is ready, and is a far better aircraft. The UK needs these aircraft now, and the difference between the pound and the euro certainly must matter. Why should the Brits pay people in euros with the recent appreciation if they can pay in dollars? Just stop the nonsense and order the UK to adopt the euro. If you don't, you cannot expect to have economic coordination.
Decide if Europe is a global player - or an isolated fragmented protectionist market. Why follow this pointless leaderless path? This is the time for Europe to decide. For everyone else, your choices are obvious. Euro-blindness can be cured.
Carlos Collaco wrote: "Yankee Doodle:...What I am definitely against is this highly perverted notion that Europe must give up its industries losing out continuously to an irreversible globalisation whereby short-term gain is the sole criteria for CEOs to run businesses."
Europe must first (1) unify politically, (2) particulary in regard to developing a unified currency and a central bank. It then needs to (3) inflate its currency to a level where export industries are favored by greatly reduced pay and benefits to Europeans. Of these, the third is by far the most important. Taking the third step without the first two will fracture the economy due to political factions.
You are correct, Europe needs to build a non-globalized economy, stop imports and exports, or otherwise it will face global competition and will need to pay globally adjusted wages and benefits. AirBus need not export any aircraft anywhere. AirBus can become the sole supplier to European airlines that never fly outside of the EU.
Call reality "perverted" if you wish, carry on with the exact same plan that brought AirBus to this point.

Subway near Central and West burglarized
Police are investigating the burglary of a west Wichita Subway store early Wednesday morning.
Someone fired a shot at a side door to the Subway at 4110 W. Central, near West Street, and was able to gain entry sometime after 1 a.m. Wednesday, Lt. Dan East said. The suspect then keyed in a code to the store safe and took the cash box.
An employee reported the burglary shortly after 3 a.m. Investigators are looking at the possibility a former employee committed the crime, East said.

text: This is the result of the dumb aproach to human rights that the Latinamerican left has succesfully made the only intepretation: That since it is the state's duty to guarantee human rights, only the state is capable of violating them. This excludes all the groups the leftloves to defend and romaticize about, like the FARC, ETA and other millitant guerrillas. Trouble is that this excludes the common citizen and thus it lives the impression that Human Rights are only the privilege of criminals and not for the common folk; the sad but very real perception of most Latin Americans.

UPDATED: Monday, March 17, 2014 - 9:29pm
Join Together Press Release — College students who post photos to Facebook showing themselves getting drunk are at higher risk of alcohol dependence and abuse, compared with their classmates with no references to drinking on their pages.
The findings, from a new study of students at two universities, suggest schools might be able to use Facebook to determine which students should be assessed for alcohol-related problems, the researchers say. They acknowledge this raises privacy and ethical issues, according to Reuters.
The study included Facebook pages of 224 undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Washington in Seattle. About two-thirds did not have references to alcohol on their pages. All of the students answered a 10-question screening test, to determine if they were at risk for problem drinking.
Almost 60 percent of students who posted references to drunkenness and other dangerous drinking behaviors showed a risk for alcohol abuse and dependence on the screening test, compared with 38 percent of students with more minor drinking references, and 23 percent of those with no drinking references at all.
The study was supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). "Our study suggests that parents and college health care providers who note references to problem drinking on the Facebook profiles of adolescents should consider discussing drinking habits with their children and patients," lead researcher Megan A. Moreno, MD, said in an NIAAA news release.
The study appears in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.

Homosexuality and Halakhah
Traditional sources on homosexuality.
The following article is reprinted with permission from Does God Belong in the Bedroom? Two claims made by Gold in this article are disputable and should be noted. First, is the assertion that Judaism is not concerned with inner feelings. While it is true that in Judaism actions are more often than not privileged over thoughts and feelings, certain manifestations of Judaism, including hasidism and musar (a 19th century movement that focused on the study of Jewish ethics and values), do stress the importance of inner feelings. Second, is Gold's assertion that natural law is a concept foreign to Judaism. While some scholars have assumed this to be true, others disagree.
An important point to make from the outset is that Jewish law does not teach that it is forbidden to be a homosexual. On the contrary, Jewish law is concerned not with the source of a person's erotic urges nor with inner feelings, but with acts. The Torah forbids the homosexual act, known as mishkav zakhar, but has nothing to say about homosexuality as a state of being or a personal inclination.
In other words, traditionally, a person with a homosexual inclination can be an entirely observant Jew as long as he or she does not act out that inclination.
The Biblical Sources
The basis of the prohibition against homosexual acts derives from two biblical verses in Leviticus: "Do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is an abhorrence" (Leviticus 18:22) and "If a man lies with a male as one lies with a woman, the two of them have done an abhorrent thing; they shall be put to death—their bloodguilt is upon them" (Leviticus 20:13). The Torah considers a homosexual act between two men to be an abhorrent thing (to'evah), punishable by death—a strong prohibition.
The Torah gives no reason for this commandment. Some commentators have looked for a rationale in the story of Sodom, in which the men in the town attempt to rape the visitors to Lot's house. (See Genesis 19; the word "sodomy" comes from this incident.) However, the occurrence in the story was a case of homosexual rape, hardly a legitimate precedent for the kind of consensual homosexual acts we are considering. Others see the root of the prohibition in the verse "No Israelite woman shall be a cult prostitute, nor shall any Israelite man be a cult prostitute" (Deuteronomy 23:18). Cultic prostitution, both hetero‑ and homosexual, was a common feature of idolatrous worship in the ancient Near East, but, like the story of Sodom, it is no longer a relevant precedent for modern homosexuality.
Various rabbis have tried to come up with other reasons for the biblical prohibition of mishkav zakhar. (Note, however, that a Torah prohibition always stands on its own even if no cogent rationale can be found for it.) Some rabbis have argued that homosexuality is forbidden because procreation is impossible. Others have defined the homosexual act as intrinsically unnatural and therefore opposed to the purposes of creation. There are difficulties, however, with both explanations. Judaism grants sexuality a purpose above and beyond procreation, and natural law, although influential in the Catholic Church, is not an authentic Jewish concept.
A Talmudic Interpretation
A more likely explanation for the ban against homosexual behavior is given in the Talmud by Bar Kapparah, who makes a play on the word to'evah ("abomination"), claiming that it means to'eh atah ba ("you go astray because of it"). Both Tosefot and the Asheri (medieval commentators) comment on this passage that a man will leave his wife and family to pursue a relationship with another man. In other words, homosexuality undermines and threatens the Jewish ideal of family life, of marriage and children, articulated in the Torah. Heterosexuality is the communal norm for Jews; homosexuality, a perversion of that norm.
The Assumption of Heterosexuality
Rabbinic literature assumes that Jews are not homosexual. For example, the Mishnah presents the following disagreement between Rabbi Judah and the Sages: "R. Judah said: A bachelor should not herd animals, nor should two bachelors share a single blanket. The Sages permit it." The halakhah follows the Sages because the Talmud says, "Israel is not suspected of homosexuality."
The Shulhan Arukh (a foundational work of Jewish law from the 16th century) never explicitly mentions the prohibition against homosexual acts but mentions the precaution that a male should not be alone with another male because of lewdness "in our times." However, Rabbi Joel Sirkes ruled about one hundred years later that such precautions were unnecessary because of the rarity of such acts among Polish Jewry.
A more recent responsum was brought by Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the first chief rabbi in Palestine. A rumor that a certain shohet (ritual slaughterer) had committed a homosexual act provoked the question of whether he should be disqualified for the position. Rav Kook ruled that the shohet could be retained because, even if the rumor were true, the man might have since repented of his act. It is noteworthy that Rabbi Kook's responsum considers homosexuality an act of volition for which one can repent.
Lesbianism is never mentioned in the Torah. One talmudic passage refers to homosexual acts between women: "R. Huna taught, Women who have sex one with the other are forbidden to marry a Kohen (priest)." The halakhah rejects Rav Huna's opinion and allows a lesbian to marry a Kohen. However, Maimonides ruled that lesbianism is still prohibited and should be punished by flagellation. The prohibition is not as stringent as that against male homosexuality because the Torah does not explicitly prohibit lesbianism, and because lesbianism does not involve the spilling of seed.
A Summary
We can now summarize the classical halakhic position:
Judaism is concerned with explicit acts, not inner feelings.
A homosexual act between two men is explicitly forbidden in the Torah.
A homosexual act between two women is forbidden by the rabbis (i.e. it was not forbidden by the Torah, but was in later times forbidden; this type of prohibition is less severe).
Homosexuality is considered an act of volition for which one can repent.
The reason for the prohibitions seems to be that such behavior undermines the Jewish family ideal of marriage and children as set out in the Torah.
Rabbinic thinkers in the past did not consider homosexuality a Jewish behavior problem.

Air Jordan 14 Low "Laney" Releasing Holiday 2015 by Patrick Johnson 24 Comments
July 22, 2012 BY Brendan Dunne / 3
The UNC Tar Heels' colors will forever be wrapped up in the Michael Jordan legacy, with no small number of Air Jordan models borrowing the blue and white pairing. When the Air Jordan XIV made its original retail run there was one such pair, albeit a low version rather than the standard silhoutte. The only folks who did get to enjoy them in true mid form were players on the UNC b-ball squad that year, with this Air Jordan XIV apparently being handed out as one of the perks that comes with playing for MJ's alma mater (and later popping up at random retail spots like Eastbay). The pair also shifts the colors a little bit, swapping out the Columbia blue of the low's for the obviously more appropriate Carolina blue. Click through to check out the rare Air Jordan XIV in white/black-Carolina blue and bid on this pair now from k1ckscr3w19 on eBay.

DIVA ALERT: Fresh from winning her fourth Grammy Award on Sunday, opera diva Renee Fleming took in Douglas Hannant's show Wednesday morning at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in the far West Side. David Aladashvili, a pianist in the Masters program at Julliard School, tickled the ivories and models walked in jewel-colored outfits trimmed with leather and vividly dyed furs. "I'm going to a couple of shows," Fleming said. "This is my fun, happy week." Fleming has been wearing Douglas Hannant for a few years to big engagements. "Glamour is so much a part of what I do. The expectations the audience has... Designers typically love that they can go to town." Coming up for Fleming are three dates at Carnegie Hall, including "A Streetcar Names Desire."

This isn't just any old stuff, it's a product of rock star royalty. Made on the estate of Il Palagio in Tuscany, Sting is the one you'd have to thank for that extra virgin on your salad.
And as of September, Sting and his missus, Trudie Styler, are releasing 30,000 bottles of red from their estate. According to the Times Online, there will be two varietals: a Chianti DOC and a Tuscan red based on the Sangiovese grape. The wines have been made with traditional methods, without the use of pesticides. I can just see Sting and Trudie stomping the grapes in a giant wooden vat, Lucy-style. Don't know what I mean? Shame on you! Check out the classic clip here.
