text: Very pleasant atmosphere. On arrival you get aroma oils to chose which one fits you better. Massage was of good quality, supplementary flower bath was very cute - they write your name with flowers on a water. Shirodara was fine but not totally relaxing because the masseuse was a bit tough and produced too much noise while puring oil.

The Colorful Possibilities of Semiprecious Stones
by Jean Campbell
To show the vast possibilities of shape, color, and texture available in stones I made a scramble through my stone bead stash. I've arranged these stones in little groups with their color families—red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and purple. Isn't it amazing to see the wide variety of colors within each family? And when you arrange these color groups in a color wheel situation, pairing each with other primary or secondary colors, you quickly get a sense of the design possibilities.
Primary Color Stones
Red: strawberry quartz, red quartz (dyed), garnet, rose quartz, red jasper, coralBlue: kyanite, turquoise, lapis lazuli, apatite, amazoniteYellow: citrine, lemon jade, lemon quartz, yellow jade, yellow turquoise
Secondary Color Stones
Green: chrysocolla, African turquoise, olive serpentine, chita jasper, peridot, jadeOrange: redwood jasper, orange serpentine, feldspar, carnelian, red agatePurple: amethyst, Sleeping Beauty turquoise, crazy lace agate (dyed), lepidolite

Sequel to yandere America x reader!!!
"You'll someday be mine, (y/n)..." The wind seemed to whisper through your ear... (The words that the writer wrote were "the wind seemed to say.")
3 years later...
You were in college now! Trying to get that (major) degree so you can get that dream job you have always wanted. You just wished you and your best friend Elizabeta were going to classes together. The whole incident replayed in your head. That gruesome day, why did you ever talk to that insane boy. Yes, he was drop dead gorgeous but if only looks could kill you would also be dead.
The grief from that day made going back to a normal life hard for you. You would never trust anyone becoming close to you or having relationships with anyone ever. You tried having a relationship you know start anew although that ended with that person diing walking home from your house. A mysterious death? Tried getting a new boyfriend and that ended with the guy being decapitated. You started to believe you were cursed ever since you killed that insane boy named Alfred F. Jones. You learnt that his own family wouldn't go to his funeral. Was he that messed up?
Falling asleep at night became a chore when you knew some kind of presence was in your room... Especially when the presence begins to enter your dreams.
You dream about Alfred every night. Almost like you truly did love him. You could feel how realistic the dreams are when you dreamt about him smuthering your body in kisses, love bites, how he holds you, and fundles with specific places that are very pleasurable to your body. When you wake in the morning you find your PJs and panties scattered on the floor, your blankets moved out of the way for easy access to your body. You began to believe you were being raped. Though you found to signs of forced entry.
When you were going to give up you noticed a letter with the letters A.F.J. You read the letter:
"Soon my darling (f/n), we will be together and no one will get in between me and my eternal love for my beautiful damsel ever again! I love you, (f/n) and I forgive that little attach you did back at the party! I realize now you were really scared, well do not worry... There is no one here to get in the way of my love for you! You will be my queen and my mate for all eternity till the end of time! I cannot wait to hear you moan under me while I fill you whole with my devious love seed and rub your delicious belly full of my demonic princes.
Love you to the ends of the earth and back,
Demon King Alfred F. Jones"
You broke down and began to cry, he still planned on taking you. Why was he so determined. You did absolutely nothing but be a kind, caring person. This was not fair.
Suddenly you heard a pair of steps in your home. "Our king would be so happy with us if we bring her to him!" You heard some weird accent say. "Shhh I heard sobbing, this way." He trotted into the kitchen where he found you. Wearing just a towel, bra, and panties.
"Aww look, Fred the little girl is crying, and aww she got the message from the great demon king himself!" He cooed. You frowned. "Aww look at that adorable pout she can do, I almost want to keep her myself!"
The other one slung you over his shoulders while the one who kept calling you a baby, cooed and thought you were cute.
They snapped their fingers and they were suddenly in a new place. Right in front of a large castle.
------ next part here_______-------
The twin men true forms were revealed, they were the Italian twins, Feli and Romano. Feli was the one calling you adorable, "Let me go, you two are supposed to be the innocent Italians why are you here in hell?" You asked confused, "working for the guy who killed you in the first place?" You almost screeched.
The twins smirked at each other, "because Bella, Alfred will allow us to go to the human world." Romano sneered.
"To collect any Bella we want to have as a mate for the rest of eternity!" Feli cheered.
You were scared, what if Alfred did whatever he could to make you stay here? The Italians presented you to your best friend Elizaberta! You ran up to her to give her the 'I miss you hug,' she on the other hand was not so friendly. She glared at you, "thanks a lot for having a crush on the most evil guy, in all of hell!" She growled.
"Liz, I'm sorry. I never knew he was like that, I thought he was kind, liked everything I liked, and he cared about me. Instead he ..."
"Yeah yeah, instead he killed everyone at the party, in cold blood, just because of a tiny mistake I did, and now we all are paying for it..." Elizaberta started to tear up. She missed being alive. She really was hoping to have a family with (Austria).
"I wish I could reverse time!" You said.
Liz glared at you, "we all do!" Liz left for a minute to go look for a dress that would please the "king!" So she found a red sleeveless short dress, that had a puffy skirt, showed off the waist, and showed a lot of cleavage! But oh no this is Alfred we're talking about.
She pulled a Wonder Woman costume out. "Here what demon king wants he gets, spoiled ass!"
You took the costume hesitantly, "why do I have to wear this?" You asked.
"Because that is what the king prefers, now get in the darn thing!" Liz snarled.
You gulped, not knowing what horrors await you, you put on the skimpy costume. What you didn't realize till you were about to put on the underwear part there was a vibrater attached to the underwear. Why was Alfred trying his very best to make you so horny?
Without any other alternative, you pushed the vibrater inside your pussy. The thing started throbbing on contact to your flesh. You did your very best to hold in the crys of pain and moans. Once you got use to it and boy that was quick, the feeling was indescribable, you could feel your insides melt and untangle. This thing twitch inside you, it felt so good. The Italians escorted you to a private room for some 'random' reason. On the way there, your stomach hurt, mainly from the overwhelming pleasure vibrating in your core.
You held your climax as long as you could till you felt a sudden rush of something flow from the vibrator into your entire body. A weird feeling in your core emerged, it began to manafest, then you felt this odd feeling like there are no rules, no boundaries, you can do what you want, humans, anything is your toy! Then a spark of pain grew in your behind and back, including your chest, you screamed loudly. Feeling a pair of demon wings pop out of your back, a tail with a heart on the end growing out of your back, lastly and most painful of all, your boobs began to grow from soft balls to cantolopes in a mere two minutes.
Your costume changed as well, you were now wearing a demoness corset; showing off you newly grown mounds of pure flesh. For your lower half a type of panties that are spilt in the middle. Making easy access for guys to penatrate you. Your outfit, all black.
Your hair changed to a new black color with red at the ends! When the pain stopped, you came back to your senses, you glanced at a mirror realizing you had become a demon! To be procise a Succubus.
Alfred walked into the room, shooing away the two Italians. "Mmm, my babe, you look more delicious than I remember, did you bathe in sweets? Because you look too damn irresitable for me to wait till after dinner to sink my fangs into." Heh even now his catch phrases still need work...
"All please let me go, but first turn me back to normal!" You pleaded.
He smirked, "yeah, right, I am not letting you slip through my fingers again. And besides, you have your friends, they are all here, you don't have a reason to hate me anymore!" He was closing the gap between you and him. "Try to leave, it will end badly for you, you belong to me now! Forever and ever, I will keep you, as my pet, sex slave, or the best offer, and the one you should take, my queen! Which do you choose babe, and please pick queen, I would hate to have you as a sex slave, sharing you with all the other kings!" He growled.
Your eyes widened, "what do you mean other kings," you asked confused.
Alfred sighed, "you know, the 7 kings of sin! You have read that stupid book known as the... Ulgh holy bible right? (Sorry to those of you who are religious, I mean no disrespect to the holy bible! Although I read the manga bible which still tells me the stories of Jesus, Adam, Eve, and everyone else.) You know of the Seven Archangels of virtues. Well I'm king of Gluttony, Demon King Arthur Kirkland is king of Pride, that manwhore Francis is King of Lust, Ivan King of Wrath, ludwig king of Greed, Hercules king of sloth, and Austria king of Envy! He has been angry since I took his precious Lizzy! But it was all for you!" He had his arms around you, just by instinct that you were trying to fight back you encircled your arms around his neck. He smirked, "I knew you couldn't stay mad at me for too long." You desperately wanted to slap him but instead you kissed him, inserting your tongue, he began to suck on your tongue till his was on top, then he took the liberty to claim territory in your mouth.
Your wings encircled him as his encircles you. His tail undid his black trousers and tore off his pure black batman boxers. His hands kneading your very smooth and squishy boobs, while his tail lifted up your right leg, your mind was going insane with how wrong this was and how you needed to escape, but your mind had no power over your body. Seemed almost like you were possessed by a demon. The tip of Alfred's tail tickled your clit, causing you to moan. Your eyes rolled in the back of your head. The sensation of your climax was closing in but your body just did not want to give you the satisfaction. You were squirting out juices, but you need to fully cum, your tail moved on its own and touched the tip of Alfred's, "oh you are such a cheater, you! Now I have no other choice!" He whispered in your ear. While moving his hand from your boob to running up and down your figure.
He now was prodding your very swollen pulsing cunt to get his lubercated then with out warning pushed his huge member up there rough, fast, hard, and deep. You cunvulsed on him right then and there. He came too and filled you whole with his seed, all you saw was white after that. For about three minutes till he pulled out.
Extended ending...
You finally let you best friend go back to Austria. She was so happy that she forgave you. That was before you found out you were preggers with 5 eggs.
The eggs grew fast, inside you, then you had to push them out, which hurt. Alfred helped you. In a weird way having sex to lubercated the exit for the eggs. It did help but just made you preggers again. So the cycle continued.
All in all Alfred got his wish, he had his perfect mate but you still regret that day you talked to him in science class, why did you ever do that? Alfred kissed you on the lips. I love you.

Soul 7 Box Set (this has been reissued, but we're pretty sure we have the o.g. pressing from 2003).
In 2000, deep funk anthologies were of the shoddy, bootleg variety: you know, the kind that featured new photos of models playing up the funk buffoonery of overgrown afros, bell bottoms and platform shoes. Then came the first fully licensed album of its kind - The Funky 16 Corners anthology, released on Stones Throw Records in 2001. For the funk heroes and heroines that had recorded in the wake of James Brown in the 60s and 70s, everything changed. Its not too much of a reach to say that companies like Numero Group, Jazzman Records, Light In The Attic and their marvellous reissues from the past decade might not have been had it not been for The Funky 16 Corners success. In 2003, two years after The Funky 16 Corners release, Egon revisited the deal that sent him on the chase for licensing agreements in the first place: a box set of 7 singles that Traffic Entertainment Groups president Joe Mansfield had sent him on. The result was Soul 7 a box set of seven 7 inch singles from the 60s and 70s. Some had seen their songs featured on The Funky 16 Corners; some had been up for consideration, but hadn't made the final cut. Soul 7 was a companion piece to The Funky 16 Corners- a chance to stretch out, and dig a lil deeper into the backgrounds and musical legacies of some of the pieces that define the genre that Keb Darge dubbed "deep funk".
Subtitled:'Seven Funk & Soul Seven Inches From The 60's & 70's'
Produced, Coordinated & Annotaded at Stones Throw.

JoeBuck commented on the blog post Democrats Are Practically Begging for Obama to be Impeached
Oh, please. Yes, impeachment can happen, because it only takes a simple majority of the House, and if dissembling about a blow job is impeachable, surely they can come up with a charge. Conviction and removal from office is of course impossible. But surely FDL isn't going to push the GOP leadership's that impeachment is a Democratic fund-raising idea? Anyone with any exposure to right-wing media has seen the drumbeat for impeachment for most of the last year, with at least a dozen prominent wingnuts calling for it in the last week.
The only sure way to prevent an impeachment from happening is for the Democrats to take the House in 2014, which is unlikely. No one should be surprised that the Democrats see an opportunity to fund-raise here. And yes, the GOP leadership sees the polls and knows it's a bad idea, but their base overwhelmingly favors impeachment, even if they can't agree on what the charge is (I could name several impeachable offenses, but since the Republicans agree with Obama's actions for all of those, they'd have to come up with something else).
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Questions Surround Edited NBC Report On Al-Shifa Hospital Bombing
Richard Engel is the reporter NBC sent in after they pulled Ayman Mohyeldin out. I figured that he would more reliably parrot the official line, but his tweets from Gaza have been very good. He is reporting what he's been seeing (though I suspect little of it is showing up on air). He speaks Arabic, so NBC messed up; when you really want the official line you just need to send a reporter who only speaks English (which is why otherwise progressive British reporters get the impression that most Venezuelans were against Chavez, they could only talk to the English-speaking upper classes).
JoeBuck commented on the blog post The Undying Filibuster Myth
I think that the Democrats definitely could have pushed harder, but there were a couple of factors in the way. One was Obama's bipartisan rhetoric and inflated opinion of his ability to bring people together and create consensus middle of the road solutions. He thought he needed Republican votes. Another is that Lieberman and the conservative Democrats liked power. Without the filibuster threat they had no way of getting their will, and they repeatedly threatened filibusters to get their way. In Lieberman's case, he was pretty much a trained seal for the insurance industry as well as every other moneyed interest you could name. This could have been countered if Obama and Harry Reid had pushed harder and if the party had been willing to use committee assignments as threat against disloyal Dems. But I think both Obama and Reid are somewhat to the right of many Senate Democrats, not crazy about some of the more progressive legislation that Pelosi got passed in the House, and didn't mind the obstruction at first until they realized, too late, that the Republicans were intent on making Obama fail even if he wanted to govern as a moderate Republican.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Sen. Schumer Calls for the National Adoption of Top-Two Primaries
California's top-two primary can produce odd results if one party has two candidates on the ballot and the other has four or five. There was one race where two Republicans made it to the general election even though the majority of primary voters chose a Democrat. This could be fixed by some form of instant runoff voting, perhaps a simple form where voters could specify a second choice.
The top-two primary also eliminates third-party candidates in the first round except in rare circumstances.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Plan to Split California into Six States Might Make the Ballot
It's not just the US Congress that has to approve; the California legislature would also have to approve. But this is going nowhere; the polling is already against it and the general trend is that a ballot measure's yes-rating only goes down as the election approaches.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Good News for Congressional Republicans in Generic Ballot
To be fair, though, Pew is a respected pollster and you can't ignore this result. But context is important.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Good News for Congressional Republicans in Generic Ballot
If it is true that "The average of all recent polls shows the country split very evenly at the moment", then why did you base your story on what you yourself acknowledge is likely to be an outlier? That kind of practice is what we've come to expect from Fox News.
JoeBuck commented on the diary post At the Corner of Lawful and Shameful: Walgreens Considers Becoming a Foreign Company to Avoid U.S. Taxes by WI Budget Project.
I should have read to the end of the article: the exact reform I was talking about in #11 is in Obama's budget plan. For once it looks like Obama is doing something right on a business-regulation issue.
JoeBuck commented on the diary post At the Corner of Lawful and Shameful: Walgreens Considers Becoming a Foreign Company to Avoid U.S. Taxes by WI Budget Project.
There are a small number of good people in Congress. We should get a bill introduced that would change the threshold: a company can't be called "foreign" for tax purposes unless more than 50% of the ownership is foreign. That would prevent Americans from pretending that a company they control isn't American. It's true that [...]
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Self-Driving Cars Could Be One of the Biggest Public Health Advances of the Century
Jon, Google hasn't done nearly enough testing to demonstrate that their vehicles are as save as human drivers. They've done about 700,000 miles worth of testing, but according to Car and Driver (quoting NHSTA statistics), the fatality rate in 2011 was only 1.13 in 100 million vehicle miles. Crashes were 185 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and injury rates were 169 per 100 million VMT. If Google has had no crashes at all in all of their testing, they've just reached the level where we would predict that human drivers would produce about one crash. But that assumes zero incidents, zero cases where the human riding along in the car stopped a disaster from happening.
So while this is promising, we'd really need to have someone outside Google logging a few million miles.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Contra Paul Krugman, Obamacare is Not an Example of the 1 Percent Losing
Krugman has frequently criticized Obama from the left, particularly on doing too little on the stimulus side and having too many Wall Street shills in his administration.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Contra Paul Krugman, Obamacare is Not an Example of the 1 Percent Losing
From what I've read of Krugman, he wouldn't disagree with you about what the right solution really was (some version of Medicare for all), and he also wouldn't disagree with you that the ACA was basically an effort to buy off some interests to get a bill passed. He's said as much many times. The main argument is about whether it was better than nothing, and there's also an argument about whether it advances or impedes real reform.
I wanted Medicare for all (that is, single payer: I think "Medicare for all" would be a better term to sell it to the general public), and failing that, a public option, or better, a way to buy into Medicare.
We didn't get that. But the ACA changes let my niece get her back injury treated on her parents' insurance, they force my insurance company to cover some of my daughter's issues that weren't covered before, they could allow me to work as a consultant instead of for a corporation if I chose to (multiple pre-existing conditions in our family made buying individual insurance impossible before), and it's enabled many, many people who were previously shut out to get coverage even if that coverage is flawed. In states that aren't run by sociopaths, Medicaid was greatly expanded, which may well be the best part, and over time more Republican states will see the sense in taking the free money, or be forced to by their own constituents.
Yes, FDL is right: we are still slaves to insurance companies, medical bankruptcy has not been eliminated. But rooting for the ACA's failure doesn't put us on a track to real reform, not in a right wing political culture. It puts us on a path to having Paul Ryan write the new version.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post BP Admits To Spilling Even More Oil In Lake Michigan
Any oil spill is bad, but the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was more than 100,000 times bigger than this one (4 million barrels).
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Republican Bill Cassidy Ironically Makes the Perfect Argument for Single Payer
Yes, but.
Cassidy's preferred approach relies on health savings accounts, and people living paycheck to paycheck (that is, most people) don't have extra money to stash away.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post New York Times Reporter In Effect Smears Russia Today Anchor Who Spoke Out Against Russia
I'm in Bangalore at the moment on a business trip, and RT is on cable. I've watched some of it, and they are all in with Putin, and I've seen them make lots of statements that clearly aren't true.
On the other hand, BBC World seems to be even more propagandistic in the other direction than CNN International is. CNN International often looks little like CNN, they take a more international perspective, though heavily pro-corporate, pro-business, and pro-wealthy. Perhaps they are torn because there's still money to be made in Russia and China?
The BBC really seems to have gone downhill. 10 or 20 years ago, they aggressively questioned American propaganda and these days they are total neoliberals. They loathe any political leader who questions the Anglo-American consensus, particularly those in Venezuela or other South American countries with leftist governments.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Schumer Calls GOP's Bluff on Immigration
"supported" should be "deported", and it's too bad that Schumer sounds like he's bragging about that.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Elizabeth Warren Wants A Public Option For Banking By Using The Post Office
It's possible that Sen. Warren could pick up some GOP allies, since many of them represent rural areas that are at risk of losing mail service if something isn't done to help the post office. It might even help her find Republican support if the Obama administration isn't enthusiastic about the proposal, since Republicans will cut off their own noses if they think it will piss off Obama.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post GOP Senators Release More Serious Obamacare Alternatives
Continuous coverage requirements aren't a serious idea. Young people aren't maintaining continuous coverage because they are broke and deeply in debt.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Michael Moore: It's Time For Single Payer Health Care
So do it in stages, on all fronts. Remember, Canada didn't instantly get single payer. It started in Saskatchewan. That's similar to the state by state solution. Another front is to do it by age. Shifting the Medicare age of eligibility to 60 would be a first step to get more people into a single payer system. Push for that.
JoeBuck commented on the blog post Michael Moore: It's Time For Single Payer Health Care
Even if they are double, for someone with cancer that's still going to be perhaps 100 times better than not being allowed to have health insurance at any price and owing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Missoni Patriarch Dies At 92
Before he was a fashion mogul, Ottavio Missoni ran track in the 1948 Olympics. That's where he met his wife, whose family owned a textile mill in northern Italy. The Missoni brand grew to prominence in the late 60s with laid-back knit wear covered in rainbow, zigzag patterns.

Our last word in business today is a tribute to a father of Italian high fashion. Ottavio Missoni died yesterday at age 92.
Now before he was a fashion mogul, he ran track in the 1948 Olympics - which is where he met his wife, whose family owned a textile mill in northern Italy.
GREENE: And the rest is history. The Missoni brand grew to prominence in the late '60s, with laid-back knitwear covered in rainbow, zigzag patterns. Over the decades, it became a full-fledged, luxury brand empire with fragrances, footwear, even hotels.
INSKEEP: Well-dressed hotels - no doubt. He never stopped running. He even won a gold medal in a track and field event for athletes in their 90s.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
GREENE: And I'm David Greene.

I was doing crawling around under my truck this morning, dropped the spare and noticed some indentations/rub marks. Could this be from the spare being too loose and moving a little bit or too tight and creating "dents" in the tires.
Here is what it looks like. It is on all 4 points of contact of the tire.

Babar the Elephant is a fictional character who first appeared in the French children's book Histoire de Babar by Jean de Brunhoff in 1931 and enjoyed immediate success.[1][2] An English-language version, The Story of Babar, introduced by A.A. Milne,[3] appeared in 1933 in Britain and the United States. The book is based on a tale that Brunhoff's wife, Cecile, had invented for their children.[4] It tells of a young elephant Babar who, upon the death of his mother by a hunter, is chased by the hunter. Babar escapes, and in the process leaves the jungle, visits a big city, and returns to bring the benefits of civilization to his fellow elephants. Just as he returns to his community of elephants, their king dies from eating a bad mushroom. Because of his travels and civilization, Babar is appointed king of the elephant kingdom. He marries his cousin, and they subsequently have children and teach them valuable lessons.[5][6]
Jean de Brunhoff published six more stories before his death in 1937. His son Laurent de Brunhoff, also a writer and illustrator, carried on the series from 1946 onwards with Babar et Le Coquin d'Arthur.[7]
An animated TV series Babar was produced in Canada by Nelvana Limited and Clifford Ross Company, and originally ran from 3 January 1989, to 5 June 1991, with 65 episodes, plus an additional 13 episodes in 2000. The character has also appeared in a number of films. The first two of Jean de Brunhoff's Babar books have inspired two major concert works: The Story of Babar (L'histoire de Babar) by Francis Poulenc in 1940 and The Travels of Babar (Le Voyage de Babar) by Raphael Mostel in 1994.[8][9]
After Babar's mother is shot by a hunter, he flees the jungle and finds his way to an unspecified big city with no particular characteristics.[10] He is befriended by The Old Lady, who buys him clothes and hires him a tutor. Babar's cousins Celeste and Arthur find him in the big city and help him return to the Elephant realm. Following the death of the King of the Elephants, who had eaten a poisonous mushroom, a council of elephants approach Babar, saying that as he has "lived among men and learned much", he would be suitable to become the new King. Babar is crowned King of the Elephants and marries his second cousin Celeste.
In Jean de Brunhoff's second Babar book, The Travels of Babar, when the married couple leave by balloon on their honeymoon, "stormy winds down the balloon on an island, and yet again will the royal couple escape by whale, be marooned on an even smaller island and be rescued by a passing ocean liner only to be turned over to an animal trainer and put to work in a circus. And when they escape and return home, what awaits them but war with the rhinoceroses."[11] Babar wins the war by having the elephants paint monster faces on their backsides, which cause the frightened rhinoceroses to run away. After the victory celebrations, the book ends with Babar, Celeste and The Old Lady sitting together and discussing how Babar can rule wisely and make all the elephants happy.
In the third book, Babar the King, he founds the city of Celesteville.
Babar, who likes to wear a bright green suit, introduces a very French form of Western civilization to the elephants, and they soon dress in Western attire. The attention to stylish clothing perhaps reflects the fact that the original publisher of the books was Editions du Jardin des Modes, owned by Condé-Nast. The Babar books were the first Condé-Nast publications not specifically about fashion.[12]
Author Maurice Sendak described the innovations of Jean de Brunhoff:
Among Babar's other associates in the various incarnations of the series are the monkey Zephir, the old elephant counsellor Cornelius (also later Pompadour who was created for the Babar TV series), Babar's cousin Arthur, and Babar's children, Pom, Flora, and Alexander. Later, a second daughter, Isabelle, was introduced. The Old Lady comes to live in the Kingdom as an honoured guest. Despite the presence of these counsellors, Babar's rule seems to be totally independent of any elected body, and completely autocratic; however, his leadership style seems to be one that works for the overall benefit of his elephant subjects—a form of benevolent dictator.
Besides his Westernizing policies, Babar engages in warfare with the warlike rhinoceroses of a hostile bordering nation, who are led by Lord Rataxes. Much later, in Babar and the Adventures of Badou, Babar has a grandson named the Prince Babar II (known as Badou).
The series has over 100 licensees worldwide, and the "Babar" brand has a multi-generational following. There are 12 Babar stores in Japan. A global cultural phenomenon, whose fans span generations, Babar stands alongside Mickey Mouse as one of the most recognized children's characters in the world. There are now over 30,000 Babar publications in over 17 languages, and over 8 million books have been sold. Laurent de Brunhoff's Babar's Yoga for Elephants is a top seller in the U.S. with over 100,000 copies sold to date. The Babar series of books are recommended reading on former First Lady Laura Bush's national reading initiative list. All 78 episodes of the TV series are broadcast in 30 languages in over 150 countries, making Babar one of the largest distributed animation shows in history. Babar has been a perennial favorite for years at the White House Easter Egg Roll.[14]
Since 2001, the Babar franchise has been owned by Corus Entertainment's Nelvana in conjunction with the artist, Clifford Ross.[15]
Babar made a nameless appearance in The New Traveller's Almanac (part of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series). Babar and his elephants escort Mina Murray and Allan Quartermain through the African jungle. Mina considers them very polite, but Allan denies that their leader is really wearing a crown.
Some writers, notably Herbert R. Kohl and Vivian Paley,[16] have argued that, although superficially delightful, the stories are politically and morally offensive and can be seen as a justification for colonialism. Others argue that the French civilization described in the early books had already been destroyed by World War I and the books were originally an exercise in nostalgia for pre-1914 France. Ariel Dorfman's The Empire's Old Clothes[17] is another highly critical view, in which he concludes, "In imagining the independence of the land of the elephants, Jean de Brunhoff anticipates, more than a decade before history forced Europe to put it into practice, the theory of neocolonialism." Adam Gopnik has a different point of view. In Freeing the Elephants he writes that it "is not an unconscious expression of the French colonial imagination; it is a self-conscious comedy about the French colonial imagination and its close relation to the French domestic imagination. The gist ... is explicit and intelligent: the lure of the city, of civilization, of style and order and bourgeois living is real, for elephants as for humans."[18] He concludes that the satisfaction derived from Babar is based on the knowledge that "while it is a very good thing to be an elephant, still, the life of an elephant is dangerous, wild, and painful. It is therefore a safer thing to be an elephant in a house near a park."[18]
Jean de Brunhoff wrote and illustrated seven Babar books; the series was continued by his son, Laurent de Brunhoff.

Match Preview
Sunderland trio return Sunderland boss Steve Bruce will have three players returning from injury in his squad for Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool. Skipper Lee Cattermole (back), defender Nedum Onuoha and midfielder Bolo Zenden (both calf), will all be included after resuming full training, while Danny Welbeck could be handed a first start after his return from a knee injury at Arsenal a fortnight ago. The game could come just too soon for striker Fraizer Campbell after his seven-month lay-off with a knee injury, while Michael Turner (also knee) is expected to return to training next week. Craig Gordon is likely to be named among the substitutes as he continues on an exercise programme to address tendinitis in his knee, while David Meyler (also knee) is closing in on full fitness. Welbeck is determined to make up for lost time as he plots a return to the Sunderland starting line-up. The 20-year-old ended a two-month absence through injury when he was introduced as a substitute in the 0-0 draw at Arsenal last time out, and with Liverpool arriving on Wearside on Sunday before a trip to Manchester City in a fortnight's time, he is desperate to get back into the swing of things. Welbeck was earning rave reviews when injury struck at Aston Villa on January 5 as he tore a cartilage and was ruled out for up to eight weeks. His cameo at the Emirates Stadium has been followed by an appearance for the reserves and a run-out in an internal practice match, and now he is ready to step up his involvement. Welbeck said: "I have missed quite a few games, so I was obviously a bit down-hearted at that, but I took it as a positive. "I am just looking forward to playing as many minutes as possible from now until the end of the season, and then we will see what happens from there. "I have missed a lot of games over these past two months, so just to get back fit and get as many games under my belt as possible before the end of the season, that's my main aim." Liverpool are likely to field their strongest front pair of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll for Sunday's trip to Sunderland. Owing to Carroll's recent injury problems, the duo have played just 15 minutes together - in the 3-1 win over Manchester United - since both arrived in January. However, the England international made his first start for the club in their Europa League exit against Braga, for which Suarez was ineligible, and the former Newcastle striker is likely to retain his place with the Uruguayan returning to the line-up. Defender Daniel Agger may be fit, having missed the last four matches with a knee injury, but the Reds will be without captain Steven Gerrard (groin), defenders Martin Kelly and Fabio Aurelio (both hamstring) and midfielder Jonjo Shelvey (knee). Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has warned his players they cannot afford to fall into the trap of becoming a long-ball team with Carroll in the side. The 6ft 3ins striker has already displayed an impressive aerial dominance in his three appearances since his #35million British record move from Newcastle. However, in Thursday's Europa League exit to Braga there was an over-reliance on getting the ball up to him early with the three of the back four in Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel and Danny Wilson launching frequent long passes upfield. It is perhaps an understandable tendency to try to utilise your greatest strength at every available opportunity but Dalglish wants to see more variety in their play. "Andy has tremendous assets which we have to learn to get the best out of and we have got assets that will help," said the Scot. "But he has to learn how we can get the best out of him. "We have to fuse the two things together, play to his strengths but also play to ours and it will take a bit of time to get it working. "The quicker they get gelling with each other the better it will be for everyone but I think the signs are very positive."

Match Report
Reds cruise to Wearside win Dirk Kuyt and Luis Suarez fired Liverpool to a 2-0 victory at Sunderland as the Reds made amends for their beachball disaster on Wearside last season. Kuyt set the visitors on their way with 33 minutes gone when he converted a hotly-disputed penalty, and Suarez completed the job with 13 minutes remaining. But the Black Cats trudged off the pitch on the final whistle hugely aggrieved at the penalty decision with defender John Mensah, who was later shown a straight red card for a professional foul on Suarez, appearing to trip Jay Spearing outside the box. However, while they may have had reason to feel hard done by, Steve Bruce's men were rarely a threat despite enjoying the greater share of possession, and Reds goalkeeper Pepe Reina did not have a save worthy of note to make until he plucked substitute Lee Cattermole's long-range effort out of the air four minutes from time. Liverpool were much more effective despite #35million man Andy Carroll enduring a quiet afternoon on his full league debut for the club, and home goalkeeper Simon Mignolet had to pull off good saves from Kuyt, Suarez and Spearing to keep the scoreline respectable in front of a sell-out crowd of 47,207. Sunderland went into the game having ended a run of four consecutive league defeats with a hard-earned point at Arsenal a fortnight ago, and with Danny Welbeck back in the starting line-up and skipper Cattermole on the bench after injury, there was genuine optimism on Wearside for a repeat of last season's victory over the Reds. That day, of course, they enjoyed the most outrageous slice of good fortune when Darren Bent's shot found its way into the back of the net with the help of a deflection off a beachball. This time around, they had plenty of luck, but all of it bad. By the time 22 minutes had elapsed, Bruce had been forced to use two of his three substitutes as first Sulley Muntari and then Kieran Richardson limped off. To their credit, the home side were not unduly affected as Cattermole, playing for the first time since December 28, and Steed Malbranque were drafted in and Stephane Sessegnon and Welbeck particularly lively. However, despite enjoying the better of the possession, the Black Cats created little of note before the break with Welbeck's 17th-minute cross from the left which just eluded Richardson as close as they came to troubling Reina. By contrast, the visitors struggled to get the ball anywhere near Carroll and Suarez, the latter of whom spent much of his time wide on the right, where he was largely effectively shackled by full-back Phil Bardsley. However, it was they who created the better opportunities with Kuyt the main beneficiary. Keeper Simon Mignolet bravely blocked the Dutchman's fifth-minute shot at point-blank range after Carroll had headed down Raul Meireles' corner, and Kuyt headed over from the resulting set-piece. It was he who eventually broke the deadlock, but he did so in controversial circumstances. Mensah's poor control allowed Spearing to burst towards the penalty area, and the Ghana international brought him down in his efforts to make amends. Replays suggested the contact had taken place outside the area and referee Kevin Friend pointed to the spot on the advice of his assistant. Kuyt sent Mignolet the wrong way to give the visitors the lead, and it might have been 2-0 before the break had the Belgian not got down well to palm away Suarez's well-struck 37th-minute effort. Malbranque miskicked when presented with a 48th-minute half-chance after Jordan Henderson had worked a short corner move with Anton Ferdinand as Sunderland started the second half brightly. However, the game might have been over three minutes later had Cattermole not managed to block Carroll's header on the line with his knee after the striker had been allowed to meet a Meireles corner unmarked. The same pair could have put the result beyond doubt with 54 minutes gone when, after Mr Friend had allowed play to continue when Titus Bramble felled the striker, the midfielder fired over the top. There was fury inside the Stadium of Light when the official then awarded the free-kick, which Suarez curled just wide. Substitute Ahmed Elmohamady saw a header and then a follow-up shot blocked from Jordan Henderson's 65th-minute corner, but the points were safe with 13 minutes when Suarez squeezed his way into the box and blasted past Mignolet from a seemingly impossible angle. A bad day for the Wearsiders took a further turn for the worse with 81 minutes gone when last man Mensah hauled Suarez down and was promptly shown a straight red card.

What do you say?
That it was a mistake?
A one-time occurrence,
One in a million chance?
That you're sorry
Like an apology
Is enough to subside their sorrow
Enough to make them forget
That it was your fault?
That someone else
Should be standing at their door.
Do you say
It should have been you
That you wish
You had gone in their place?
But so do they
They wish it more
Than anything in the world.
What do you say
When you look at their disbelief
Watching as the words spilling
From your tongue wash away their smiles?
what do you say
When you see their love
Crash and crumble into grief
Along with their hearts?
What do you say
When you see the anger in their eyes
The pure hatred in them
When they realize that their love is gone
And that you took them away?
What do you say
To the tears
A steady flood of pain
Washing down their face?
What do you say
When they finally ask
"How could this have happened?
Why did you let this happen?"
What do you say?
What can you say?

The award-winning EH-TW5900 bigger brother is here. But is it really worth the extra cost?
Priced at £1,350, Epson's EH-TW6000 appears a clone of the award-winning EH-TW5900, which can be bought for just £1,000. Despite the price gulf, the two are very similar in specification, yet differ in a couple of key areas.
Outwardly, the EH-TW6000 is identical to its more affordable sibling – it shares the same curved-edge cosmetic design with eye-catching grilles that makes many of its rivals look dull and old-fashioned. The basic feature specification is the same, too, including +/-30 degree manual horizontal and vertical keystone correction, manual focus and zoom adjustment. Again, generous connectivity includes a pair of HDMI inputs, component video, PC input and USB port for JPEG viewing. There are speakers on board, too.
Similarities also extend beneath the hood. Close inspection confirms that the EH-TW6000 runs exactly the same imaging engine, based around a 0.61in-wide LCD panel. In both projectors, this runs at 240Hz for Full HD and accelerates to 480Hz for 3D. They even use identical 230W UHE (E-TORL) lamps.
But powered up, there's an obvious visual disparity between the two. The EH-TW6000 is demonstrably brighter, thanks to an increase to 2200 ANSI lumens over the EH-TW5900's 2000. While this doesn't necessarily help home cinema enthusiasts viewing in controlled lighting conditions, it does means the model can be used in causally-lit rooms, making it more ideal for communal video gaming than its stablemate.
Yet where the EH-TW6000 really proves its worth is with the huge hike in available contrast. Epson rates it at 40,000:1 – twice that of the EH-TW5900 – and the difference really is noticeable.
This step-up model also includes one pair of Active Shutter 3D glasses in the box – they're an optional extra with the EH-TW5900. Again, the 3D performance is highly commendable considering the price point, albeit with some crosstalk.
Whether or not you plump for this projector or its cheaper iteration will ultimately depend on the size of your wallet. The increased brightness and contrast levels definitely improve performance – but come at a £350 cost. My suggestion would be to audition the EH-TW5900 first and see if you find it lacking. Then grab a demo of this model.
Just to complicate things further, £1,500 gets you a wireless iteration of the EH-TW6000. If you can't stomach an HDMI cable traipsing through your living room then you'll have to audition that, too. Who ever said home cinema was easy?

No, you don't have to have a ToyTec lift to use the spacer. I only have 5100s in the front. I haven't heard of anything handmade. If you already have the 5100s installed, all you have to do is drop the driver side coilover down just enough to drop this spacer on top of the coilover assembly. Viola!
And was there something about 1/4" spacer for 1/2" of adjustment?
Or am I full of crap on that one, too?

Ride Horses with Awareness and Feel Horse Books and Gifts
Trafalgar Square Books is pleased to announce the publication of Ride Horses with Awareness and Feel by Tineke and Joep Bartels. Never before has such an eclecticism been offered as one serious riding and training methodology. The book examines the myriad benefits of liberty work in developing healthy human-equine relationships. It deconstructs the popular concept of the independent seat and how the rider's body should be used as an "instrument" that acts and reacts in harmony with the horse's own. Finally, the Bartels share years' of analysis involving "operant conditioning," or training with the "question and answer method," and the exciting and rewarding results it can yield. In addition, an intriguing and unguarded investigation of the theory of riding "deep and round" is conducted, as they explain the science behind it, what it looks like when applied correctly, and most importantly, how to know when it crosses the line from an innovative training technique to a potentially abusive device.
Once a practicing psychologist, JOEP BARTELS left the professional field when he took up riding. He has served as editor and writer for a number of equestrian magazines, and President of the International Alliance of Equestrian Journalists, as well as authoring several books. He now dedicates his time and energy to the Academy Bartels (www.academybartels.com)—a unique equestrian enterprise focused on the development of innovative educational projects for the betterment of horse and rider. TINEKE BARTELS was a successful show jumper and event rider before switching to dressage in the 1980s. She was a member of the Dutch national team for 13 years, winning two Olympic silver medals. Today she is "master coach" for the Dutch Olympic Committee, coach of the Dutch Junior and Young Riders team, and trains her daughter, Imke, silver medal winner at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. This is her third book. The Bartels live in Hooge Mierde, The Netherlands.

COLUMBIA -- Somewhat of a surprise, even to the recipient, South Carolina's Steve Spurrier on Wednesday was named the SEC's coach of the year. The vote came from Spurrier's peers in the league.
"This comes as a surprise to me, but I want to thank the voters," Spurrier said, referring to his colleagues. "Obviously, I have a lot of good friends who are SEC coaches. The real credit, though, goes to the players, coaches, support staff and fans here at South Carolina."
Prevailing logic would have seemed to point toward Auburn's Gene Chizik, coach of the 13-0 team playing for the national championship. But the SEC's coaches felt differently.
Chizik, who already won the media's version of the honor Monday, beat Spurrier's Gamecocks twice, including 56-17 in last weekend's SEC championship game in Atlanta.
The coaches -- enough of them, anyway -- chose to honor Spurrier leading the 9-4 Gamecocks to their first SEC Eastern Division title. South Carolina clinched the title, of all places, in the Swamp, where Spurrier worked the sidelines from 1990-2001.
Asked repeatedly that week about the distinction of claiming the division at Florida, where his name is in the school's Ring of Honor, Spurrier shrugged and said the accomplishments were about South Carolina and not himself. Spurrier said the same about being back in the SEC championship game for the first time in a decade -- and with his second team in the league.
Even if the title game didn't go so well, South Carolina was still breaking new ground by playing in it.
The Gamecocks will return to the Georgia Dome later in the month to play Florida State in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Spurrier has already talked this week about his desire to return to the building, so the Gamecocks can learn how to play there.
With a nucleus that includes freshman running back Marcus Lattimore and receiver Alshon Jeffery, Spurrier figures to have a serious contender to return in 2011.
Claims to that end were only bolstered Wednesday with the news that Urban Meyer will step aside at Florida. Meyer flirted with the idea a year ago, but seemed much more resolute in his decision during an early evening news conference.
Meyer arrived at Florida in 2005, the same year Spurrier began coaching at USC. In six seasons, Meyer, 46, guided the Gators to two national titles.
"I'm saddened that he is stepping down, but after stepping down for a few days last year, it's somewhat understandable that he felt that this was best for him and his family," Spurrier said, through USC. "I believe he will coach again someday, but if he doesn't, he will go down as one of the best coaches in college football history."
With Meyer gone, the Gators will scramble to find a replacement. Former Gators assistant and current Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen has to be atop Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley's short list, but the transition surely cements South Carolina's status as the East favorite next season.
In 2010, South Carolina beat every East team with the exception of Kentucky -- and the Wildcats needed a furious rally from a 28-10 deficit to get past the Gamecocks. Other than that nightmare, South Carolina lost three games to the SEC's two BCS representatives, Arkansas and Auburn (twice).
Spurrier has now won nine conference coach of the year honors -- two at Duke (1988, 1989), five at Florida (1990, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996) and now two at South Carolina (2005, 2010).
With a win in the bowl, USC can tie its school record for wins in a season, set in 1984.
Lattimore, adding to his postseason award haul that's only sure to grow, was named the SEC coaches' freshman of the year.
Lattimore rushed for 1,198 yards and 17 touchdowns, becoming the first Gamecock to top 1,000 yards since Derek Watson in 2000. With 19 total touchdowns, Lattimore is just one off the SEC freshman record.

It's Easier To Breathe When You've Got These Great Asthma Tips
Ensure your house is clean and tidy. Make sure you wash your bedding often. This will eradicate dust mites, which can cause asthma attacks. When dust builds up, the air becomes more and more irritating to asthma sufferers and increases the likelihood of an attack.
Be sure you understand how to use your asthma medication, especially emergency medication. A typical asthma treatment plan is daily medication backed up with an emergency inhaler. Asthma is a lifelong condition; you should correctly take your regular medication and use your rescue medication only as needed.
If you frequently use your inhaler (more than two to three times per week), you should talk to your doctor about alternative methods of treatment or a different prescription. If you need to use your inhaler that often, the medicine in it isn't working as well as it should. This also applies to anyone who needs to refill their inhaler more than two times in a single year.
A humid home will cause mold or mildew to appear. These substances are prime triggers for asthma attacks. You should do your best to maintain a dry home. Whenever you use a heater, you should use a dehumidifier, and air conditioning will help in the summer.
You may want to use a leukotriene inhibitor if your asthma is being particularly problematic. A leukotriene inhibitor stops the release of a chemical that causes the inflammation that is responsible for some asthma attacks. A leukotriene will cause inflammation in the respiratory system, causing an asthma attack. This inhibitor can prevent leukotrienes, which makes you less likely to have an asthma attack.
If you suffer from asthma, don't smoke or expose yourself to smoke, fumes or vapors. Stay away from jobs that would expose you to toxic or heavy vapors, and refrain from any tobacco use. Asthma is sometimes caused by genetics, and sometimes by environmental causes. If you have a family member with asthma, watch your children and yourself for asthma symptoms. You should try to prevent yourself and your children from being exposed to potentially hazardous environmental elements that can trigger asthma attacks, such as smoke, pollution, dust and mold spores.
Be prepared for your asthma treatment to be increased if you have a cold or hay fever. Adjusting your medication may be necessary to manage the symptoms of these and other illnesses. Your doctor may prescribe a new medicine or change the dose of your existing medication until the hay fever or cold passes. Consider consulting a social worker if your asthma medication is not covered by an insurance policy. Asthma medications are a necessity, and a social worker can help you find an affordable way to keep your prescriptions current.
If you use any more than four kinds of cleaning product around your home, then the risk of an asthma attack is increased. Organic products are preferable to more chemically loaded, commercially produced cleaning products.
Asthma sufferers should take care to warm up before doing and strenuous exercise and cool down well afterwards. Being vigilant about warm-ups and cool-downs greatly lowers the probability that you will suffer an asthma attack in the course of exercising.
During an attack that isn't severe, force all air from your lungs. Breathe out fast and hard. Push that air from your lungs with all that you've got! Take three short breaths, and then take a fourth, deeper breath to fill your lungs comfortably; then, breathe out with force again. This gives your breathing a rhythm and makes you focus on your breathing. In addition, it repeatedly empties your lungs of air, so that you can draw in more oxygen-rich air. You might cough or produce sputum, but that is fine; you are trying to get breathing under control again.

Dock your iPod on your Vespa
My wife and I took our honeymoon in Italy a few years ago, and those Vespa scooters were absolutely everywhere. When we returned home, I said, "I want one of those Vespas," but it just didn't seem to have the same panache here in the states. Plus, I'm likely to get crushed by an SUV. Still...
