However, there are going to be people who point to you and say "because you play x games you condone their messages of violence and misogyny and the use of drugs and etc (whatever the game has).
And I don't believe for one minute you do.
So that's why I don't believe in censorship. I just believe in people staying out of places they don't want to be in and I believe in people saying their piece but not seeking to force it down anyone's throat.

Lets imagine that im on the bus for example and say to my friend that "lets rob this bus and drive it to China" as a joke, not a good one but anyways,then i stand up and tell that to everyone.
Would be better to e-mail my terrible joke to the people who would like to hear it.
They tried to teach childrens with those methods still at 80´s and we got wiser and figured out that it does not work it actually has the opposite effect.
I dont know which one would be better,censorhip or let everybody to say /do what they are thinking.
I prefer censorship.
So, did ESO have a successful launch? Yes, yes it did.

This is really two stories: the first being the infamous 'Dickwolf' Penny Arcade strip, the other the consequent reactions to said and the ensuing actions and replies. For now I am only addressing the first issue.
What needs to be firmly established prior to any intelligent debate being capable is that the joke was not about rape. The joke was about the dubious morality of the often found quest "Free the prisoners". The hero doing the bare minimum to complete a quest is the root of the humor. He doesn't actually care about the prisoners in the least; he is doing the right thing for personal gain instead of altruism. Thus, he is not moral at all despite engaging in "heroic" behavior.
That is the joke.
The joke could have been about rape. If the prisoner had stated that his life could not get any worse, and then the hero proceeded to rape him, the rape itself would have been the punchline. That, however, is not what occurred.
Instead, the mention of rape, in context, is merely an amplifier used to heighten the viewer's understanding of the prisoner's terrible situation.
Other words could have been used. He could be murdered if not freed. Starved. Beaten. The possibilites are infinite.
So why not use one of those words? Most likely a victim of rape would not appreciate the intended humor. Changing that one word would prevent needless mental anguish, however big or small.
So let's say they changed the amplifier to starved. The victims of rape are spared.
But now, what about the person struggling with bulimia or anorexia? Switch it to murder. Now the person who lost a loved one to murder is made uncomfortable or worse.
Well, simply don't publish the strip then. Then nobody gets hurt.
But then no one gets their day brightened by the comic either.
Humor often comes at the expense of others. We laugh because it is not us being used as the source of merriment. Comedy is drama at another's expense. Artists of all stripes could not possibly self-censor their works so that no one was at risk of being offended. Nothing of value would be created.
And in regards to humor, tastes run the entire spectrum of human potential. What you find funny I may not, and vice versa.
In the end, the artist must be allowed to create. If he is found to be offensive, then that is an issue rooted in the viewer, and the viewer himself has the choice to continue his patronage of said, ask the artist to refrain from what is found offensive in the future, or to boycott. And since the artist cannot possibly cater to everyone, the artist's responsibility ultimately becomes to cater to himself and himself alone.
The onus is on the audience: do not support art you find objectionable.
But what was objectionable about this comic? There was no intent to harm. There was no premeditation to offend. Only by taking one word, and then stripping it of the surrounding context, is something that is almost universally reviled created. It is akin to saying that 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' is racist propaganda because the 'n-word' is used. It is a ridiculous argument.
Yet this is the argument many have chosen. That is certainly their right. I think they are harming art more than anything though. I believe that what they think they are fighting and what actually occurred are two separate things. Rape is a terrible thing. I conclude that energies spent against the Dickwolf comic could be better used elsewhere. Perhaps that is the real tragedy here.

Pink, it's like red but not quite.
Another questionable topic call.
You know how Politics are against your policies?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

I don't doubt that those telling and participating in the joke don't actually approve of rape. However, they are laughing at the brutal misfortune of others right around them. At some point even though one can do something, we have to ask should we. As humans this has to be our least asked question.
So yeah we can make a joke about Syria, but I hope people are picturing helpless frightened people being burnt to death, just wishing they could have a few more seconds of life. I hope they would think about the people they love being in that same predicament, and how that would tear at them.
Some things just aren't funny and shouldn't be joked about. Not because we're not free to, but because, after considering those around us, we are free not to say something hateful.
With all that said, I wouldn't rage against this if it had been about some joke said in private that got leaked out. That would just be some jerk trying to stir up trouble. But these are public figures with a social influence and they purposely said something insensitive and hateful. What they say and how they say it has a greater impact than your average person. Their marginalization of the subject has an affect and makes a public statement, whether they intended to or not (and no mistake they intended to capitalize on this for publicity), condoning a flippant attitude towards the subject. Public figures have different rights, responsibilities, and rules.
Sorry Victor, but nothing will happen with these guys. I don't accept his apology as sincere. I think he's apologizing because his lawyer and his publicist said so. He wouldn't have brought the subject up again and said the idiotic things he did if had genuinely regretted it. I think he genuinely regrets shooting his mouth off and the possible financial impact. That's about it.

A lot of comedy in history mocked and ridiculed the hateful, oppressors, and of course political enemies. One doesn't generally doesn't poke holes in people we value just for a laugh.
I do agree that the onus is on the audience and that it appears I'm in the minority. I don't support the conventions and I certainly no longer support Penny Arcade.

Bort bort bort!
90% of comedy is making light of either your own misfortunes, or those of others. It's a perfectly healthy way of dealing with the terrible things which happen in this world on a daily basis. If we couldn't laugh about some of these situations, we'd all be near-suicidally depressed & taking psychotropic drugs by the handful every morning (hell, there are already people who do that as it is).
I would also like to say, loud and clear, that you do NOT have the right to never be offended. People always have, and always will say things that somebody, somewhere, will find offensive. If you don't like it, don't listen to that person. Walk away, change the station, put down the book, stop supporting the company, etc.
If I take care of myself, I could be around for another 50 or more years given sufficient advancements in medical technology (and God willing, of course). I'm not going to spend that time walking on eggshells just because some oversensitive twit might get offended by one of my viewpoints, jokes, opinions, or statements.
I'm so sick of the ridiculous levels of political correctness these days. Even a racial slur used in a non-racist fashion can completely obliterate somebody's entire life. To me that's more offensive than any amount of jokes about rape.

Putting aside the absolutely disgusting lack of empathy, you so called first amendment champions are just as close-minded as the ridiculous feminist that spell woman with a y. You support the first amendment when it's something that entertains you (like rape, apparently) but the minute someone speaks out against your ThomasJefferson guaranteed right to laugh at rape , you want that person to shut up and go away. Just like every other selfish special snowflake the only viewpoints you see as valid are your own and you are quick to to bravely bully and harass others who don't share your viewpoints. You know, the first amendment is an either or thing. Either everyone is entitled to express their opinions or no-one is. you are just as free to not read anti-tape articles as this offended by tape jokes are to avoid humor they find tasteless. If you aren't capable of recognizing the hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty you are demonstrating by trying to silence critics, then you're probably on the intellectual level of someone who enjoys a good rape joke but reacts to critical thinking and reasoning like a vampire reacts to the sun.

You guys just don't get it.. and sadly so many of you think it's cute and funny to perpetuate a hostile and uncomfortable space for women gamers.. this article wasn't about the old comic strip it was about the disgusting community reaction that is repeating itself right here..
I don't see anything funny about rape jokes. I bet a person who was raped wouldn't find it funny either.

I am pretty sure mmorpg.com write these topics so they can ban people. This topic is against their own rules of conduct. Every time a topic like this is raised lots of people end up getting banned.

Well.. Penny Arcade and some people on here must realize that the gaming is made up of more than neckbeards and basement dwellers. The gaming community, being as large as it is, will include victims of rape and child abuse, it's just an unfortunate statistical reality.
It was a stupid joke anyway, only a teenager or manchild would find it funny.

In a while the "robery victims" will protest against the rogue class, becomming a catholic priest will require 5 years of cleric experience in any major mmo and skinning/looting animals will be banned due to vegetarians protesting.
Guess why this kind of humor is legal. Because noone makes you sit and take it. Unlike rapists.

Empathy, feelings, caring all great things! Censorship, forbidding, restricting are bad things! But, living in Dr. Cocteau's world (Demolition Man) is not the answer! Everyone is different, but the push to remove any civil liberties you have whether it be telling a rape joke, liking a violent/sexual video game or movie, religion... whatever. The policing of our liberties is way outta control. The answer isn't stopping what you don't like, but like many have said not supporting or condoning what someone is saying that you don't like!
But, it really boggles my mind that people are so hurt about words coming out of peoples mouths? When you sit back and look at the world and what is happening innocent people dying. And things that were said in a comic strip that you have the "choice" to read! I'm almost positive that everyone in Syria that is going through that travesty would trade places with all of you that can't handle hearing a joke! I would gladly be the victim of all the heinous crimes talked about here, to not live in a country like that where "Censorship" "Forbidding" and "Restricting" are the way! Working well for them isn't it??

Hurricanes stay in the hunt
Late try means play-off dream remains alive
Last Updated: 13/07/12 10:41am
The Hurricanes kept alive their play-off hopes with a dramatic 28-25 victory over the Chiefs in Wellington.
The TMO awarded a try to Dane Coles long after the final hooter had sounded to clinch the win and hand the Chiefs a second successive defeat.
The decision was harsh on the Chiefs, who thought they had done enough to keep Coles and the Hurricanes out.
However the Hurricanes won't worry about that as they now have a three-point advantage over their play-off rivals - who all play on Saturday.
Julian Savea also crossed twice for the home side, while Beauden Barrett landed 13 points from the boot.
Aaron Cruden led the way for the Chiefs with 15 points - including a try - while Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Ben Tameifuna also scored. However they could now be overhauled by the Stormers at the top of the table
A superb start from the Chiefs saw them rewarded for their adventure as they went for corner from a penalty - with a series of drives seeing Kerr-Barlow snipe through a gap to score, although referee Jonathan Kaplan appeared to impede the defence. Cruden converted.
The Hurricanes opened their account with a penalty from Barrett while a superb counter-attack saw them follow up with a try. Conrad Smith deserved the credit for his strong running in the initial break before Savea finished well in the corner.
There was worse to come for the Chiefs as Savea burrowed his way over from close range, with Barrett converting.
The Hurricanes, though, were reduced to 14 men when Ben May was sin-binned for a dangerous tackle on Sonny Bill Williams - and the Chiefs took full advantage.
First Cruden slotted over a penalty - and then although the fly-half hit the post with another effort at goal, the Chiefs were able to score from the lineout after the Hurricanes struggled to clear the ball. A textbook catch-and-drive move resulted in Tameifuna driving over to level the scores.
However a long-range penalty from Barrett on the stroke of half-time saw the Hurricanes lead 18-15.
Both sides went for it after the break but it was the Chiefs who moved into the lead when Cruden snaffled Barrett's inside pass and raced away for an intercept try. Cruden converted.
The Hurricanes responded with a Barrett penalty - only for Cruden to slot over another of his own to give the Chiefs a four-point cushion.
However the Hurricanes refused to give up and after sustained spell of pressure, they finally got the crucial try. Coles drove at the line from close range and although Kerr-Barlow stopped him short, the supporting players were able to nudge him over - with the TMO awarding the try. Barrett converted.

When we queried the Cavs' media relations department a few months ago, asking if James would do an interview about the letter, we were told he would address it at some point, just "not right now."
We found other NBA players reluctant to speak on the issue of activism and China as well, some because they said they were focusing on the playoffs and some who said they hadn't really been paying attention. And there were some who feared what happened to Craig Hodges could happen to them.
Hodges was a sharpshooting guard with the Chicago Bulls in the early 1990s, who won three straight NBA All-Star 3-point contests and helped the Bulls win two straight championships. But at the Bulls' 1991 visit to the White House, Hodges wore a dashiki and handed a letter to President George H. W. Bush condemning the treatment of African-Americans in the United States. The Bulls cut him in 1992 and he never got another tryout with another team.
NBA commissioner David Stern vehemently denies the league had anything to do with Hodges' situation. "Nothing to it," Stern said of Hodges' claims that his actions damaged his job prospects.
Still, some ask, how could rapper Master P get a tryout, but not a pure shooter like Craig Hodges? Others argued that Hodges couldn't guard a post.
To the Bulls, obviously, he was expendable.
"Craig Hodges was a good player," Barkley said. "Like every player in the NBA is a good player. But if you are not a great player and people assume that you might cause trouble, they're not going to have you because it's too big of a business."
Hodges declined to speak to "Outside the Lines" on camera, but told us he still believes his actions cost him his career and millions of dollars. He is now a shooting coach for the Lakers and, ironically, coaches Newble. He said he advised Newble to be careful about speaking out on Darfur, not wanting what happened to him to happen to Newble. Newble said he didn't care.
"I'm not afraid of anything," he said, adding his father wasn't afraid either, even when the ramifications of speaking out in the 1960s sometimes meant losing your life. "I've been playing eight years now so I'm comfortable with my decision. If something comes from it, then so be it. I'm satisfied because when I look at myself in the mirror, I can say, 'Ira, you tried to make a difference.'"
Washington Wizards center Etan Thomas said he was somewhat concerned when he got a letter from the NBA after he spoke at an anti-war rally in 2005, telling him to be careful. Stern refuted Thomas' claim, saying such a letter "doesn't exist." Thomas insists he received it.
Newble's efforts eventually led him to a Los Angeles-based group called Aid Still Required, which was asking NBA players to record public-service announcements in hopes of pressuring the Chinese government to consider its role in the Darfur conflict. Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash immediately said yes. Nash has been more outspoken than most NBA players. He has publicly criticized the war in Iraq and said he opposed what the Chinese government was doing and wasn't afraid to say it, but could understand why some are.
"I have a little bit of a problem with everyone putting this pressure on young athletes who have trained their whole lives to perform in the Olympics," said Nash, "essentially forcing them to be the ones that have to now take the responsibility for boycotting or taking a stand."

Questions on Nutbuster

DMM - Nutbuster
Quick OverviewGet your gear out of the wall!
- Description
It may seem strange, considering its essential simplicity, but DMM is quite proud of the Nutbuster because it embodies their core values - it is very well made and works very, very well. The Nutbuster blade is laser cut in Sheffield from the finest stainless steel and then given a taper so that it can access narrow placements, but is still stiff enough to dislodge nuts that are welded in - simply compare the blade to anything else on the market and you will see the difference. The round hole in front of the rubber handle both reduces weight and helps accuracy so that you get nuts out faster without damaging their wires. The rubber handle makes the Nutbuster very easy to handle and allows wires to be hit hard without the blade digging into your hand. The rubber handle can be removed if you want to really hit the blade hard with a stone. The Nutbuster can be slung directly on a carabiner, but mountain rescue teams get fed up of digging nut keys out of bodies so it is always best to sling any nut key on a short piece of climbing cord. The danger of impalement in a fall is is also why we did not incorporate a gate into the Nutbuster - plus the mini, integral gates are a pain to use with cold fingers or with gloves.

The biggest problem I have with my Darkcloth in windy weather is that it acts like a sail and tries to topple my Camera/Tripod.
Having to hanging on to the Tripod with one hand and trying to use a View Camera with the other is no fun
I have invested in a large string bag, which can be filled with large stones/small rocks, and attached to the hook on the bottom of my Tripods' Centre Column.
It's not perfect but the whole assembly is a heck of a lot more stable with the stones as ballast than without them.

Product description
Our computers and mobile devices do wonderful things for us. But they also impose a burden, making it harder for us to focus, do our best work, build strong relationships, and find the depth and fulfillment we crave. How to solve this problem? Hamlet's BlackBerry argues that we just need a new way of thinking, an everyday philosophy for life with screens. William Powers sets out to solve what he calls the conundrum of connectedness. Reaching into the past--using his own life as laboratory and object lesson--he draws on some of history's most brilliant thinkers, from Plato to Shakespeare to Thoreau, to demonstrate that digital connectedness serves us best when it's balanced by its opposite, disconnectedness. Lively, original, and entertaining, Hamlet's BlackBerry will challenge you to rethink your digital life.

There's one rule when you expose your hair to heat — the hair must be protected. This product guards against heat and friction to keep your hair shiny and incredibly soft. It's a fantastic tool for instantly transforming all hair textures, enhancing strands' flexibility to reform and hold shape.
Also, the moisture-locking vitamin complex hydrates and is heat-activated to guard against harsh styling damage.
This is a great spray: affordable, smells great, and does protect my hair. I love it. I used it on my wet hair before blowdrying and sometimes on my dry hair before straightening. Woo!
Love this spray! Smells great, makes my hair soft & shiny and it's a good price. I'm ordering my third bottle.
This heat tamer is awesome!! The smell is so delicious! It does a great job too! When I first used it, I had less breakage during blow-drying and less frizzes!! Its awesome!!
This is okay, but I find for my very very thick curly hair, I need this plus some serum to protect my hair from heat damage.
It might be better for people with finer hair than mine.
I am absolutely in LOVE with this product! I purchased it for the first time over a year ago, when treseme had the old packaging. I would have given that packaging a 4 at the time but since the improvement of the packaging I have been in love with this product. I know some people have said that they don't really notice a difference in their hair, (I thought the same thing too) that was until I ran out of product and couldn't find it anywhere, everyone was sold out. In the short time without it, my hair felt so frail and brittle. I noticed a HUGE change in my hair. I will always be using this product, I'm lost without it...
Havnt noticed any major improvements in my hair, but the ends are not damaged in the slightest. The spray pump is convenient, I dont have to touch the product, so I can apply my moisturizer right after without worrying about hair junk residue on my fingers.

Chapter 4 Select Destinations The Americas & the Caribbean
The Caribbean (online only)
The Caribbean is an arc-shaped group of islands that separates the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. Historically, politically, culturally, and geographically, the Caribbean region can be divided as follows:
- Greater Antilles: Cuba, Jamaica (for a detailed look at health risks in Jamaica, visit Chapter 4, Jamaica), Cayman Islands, Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico
- Lesser Antilles: Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Barbuda, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, and Grenada
- Atlantic Ocean islands: Bermuda, The Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands
- South American shelf islands: Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire
In addition, coastal areas of the mainland countries of Belize in Central America and Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana in South America are often considered part of the Caribbean.
The islands and mainland countries vary in geography, from volcanic, lush rainforests to sandy and dry islands with fantastic beaches. The dazzling beaches on the islands and mainland coasts of the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean are destinations where a traveler can find accommodations ranging from the very basic to luxury, excitement, tranquility, and relaxation.
Coral reefs are among the most diverse and beautiful of all marine habitats, and the Caribbean has about 7% of the world's coral reefs. With reefs surrounding virtually the entire border of the Cuban marine shelf, the Belize barrier reef complex is the largest continuous reef system in the western Atlantic. The Bahamas offers >1,000 dives, including specialty dives such as shark close-ups and diving with dolphins. The Caribbean is one of the world's top diving destinations: travelers can dive year round, and water temperatures average 74°F–81°F (23°C–27°C).
The Caribbean climate is tropical, with daytime temperatures in most of the region in the low- to mid-80s°F (26°C–30°C) during North America's winter months and in the upper 80s to low 90s°F (lower 30s°C) in the summer months. Nighttime temperatures are around 10°F (5°C) cooler. Bermuda has similar summertime temperatures, but in the cooler months the nighttime low is in the upper 50s°F (12°C–15°C). Temperatures fluctuate depending on altitude, especially in the mountainous countries of Cuba (Pico Real del Turquino: 6,476 ft; 1,974 m), Haiti (Morne de la Selle: 8,907 ft; 2,715 m), and the Dominican Republic (Pico Duarte: 10,164 ft; 3,098 m). The Caribbean is a major winter vacation destination, and tourism is an extremely important economic activity for the region. Tourist arrivals were recorded by the Caribbean Tourism Organization as slightly >23.8 million in 2011 for their member countries that reported. In 2010, the United States accounted for almost 12 million tourist arrivals.

In addition to updated routine vaccinations, hepatitis A and B vaccination is recommended for all unvaccinated travelers. Typhoid vaccine is recommended for some travelers, especially if they are staying long-term, staying with friends or relatives, or visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas. In rare instances for selected travelers, preexposure rabies vaccination may be recommended.
Malaria caused by chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum is endemic in Haiti, and the risk of getting malaria for US travelers is estimated to be moderate. Highest transmission rates are reported to occur after the rainy seasons from March to May and October to November. Travelers to Haiti should take chemoprophylactic and preventive measures to minimize the risk of acquiring malaria. Malaria also occurs in the Dominican Republic. Except for rare cases, there have not been ongoing reports of malaria in travelers to Great Exuma, Bahamas, since 2006. CDC has no specific recommendations for travel to The Bahamas, although measures to avoid mosquitoes are recommended to prevent dengue. Endemic malaria occurs in the mainland countries of Guyana, Suriname, and Belize, and malaria chemoprophylaxis is recommended when visiting these countries (see Chapter 3, Travel Vaccines & Malaria Information, by Country).
Other Vectorborne Diseases
The Caribbean is among the most common regions from which US travelers acquire dengue. Dengue is endemic in essentially all Caribbean countries because the vector, the Aedes mosquito, is ubiquitous. Outbreaks are being reported more frequently, and the numbers of reported cases of severe dengue are increasing. Travelers to the Caribbean should take measures to protect themselves from daytime mosquito bites to prevent dengue (see Chapter 2, Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other Insects & Arthropods).
Yellow Fever
Yellow fever is a risk in parts of Trinidad and Tobago and the mainland countries of French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. Vaccine is recommended for travelers aged ≥9 months to the 3 mainland countries and the island of Trinidad. However, it is generally not recommended for travel limited to the urban areas of Port of Spain, and it is not recommended for the island of Tobago.
Chikungunya Fever
In December 2013, the World Health Organization reported local transmission of chikungunya in Saint Martin. This was the first time that local transmission of chikungunya had been reported in the Americas. The virus quickly spread to other islands in the Caribbean and is expected to continue to spread to new areas where the vectors, Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes, exist. Chikungunya, like dengue, is transmitted by day-biting mosquitoes. Symptoms are similar to those of dengue and malaria, although often with severe and persistent arthralgia. (Updated May 2, 2014)
Other Diseases
Travelers' Diarrhea, Foodborne and Waterborne Diseases
Caribbean cuisine is a fusion of spices and cooking styles from African, Amerindian, British, Spanish, French, Dutch, Indian, and Chinese cultures. Whether jerked chicken or ackee and salt fish in Jamaica, cracked (deep fried) conch or conch fritters in The Bahamas, or roti with curried meat or vegetables in Trinidad and Tobago, travelers will want to experience the culinary excitement of Caribbean cuisine. However, travelers should stick to legitimate eating establishments and avoid itinerant vendors. Travelers' diarrhea is one of the most common travel-related illnesses, and some countries in the Caribbean fall into the intermediate-risk group, with attack rates of 8%–20%. Central America falls into the high-risk group, with attack rates of 20%–50%. Outbreaks of ciguatera poisoning, which results from eating toxin-containing reef fish, have also occurred on many islands (see Chapter 2, Food Poisoning from Marine Toxins).
Epidemic cholera emerged in Haiti in October 2010, and cases are occasionally reported in travelers to Haiti returning to the United States. As of September 1, 2012, a total of 589,970 cases, 320,029 hospitalizations, and 7,539 deaths had been reported in Haiti. The Vibrio cholerae strain that caused the Haiti epidemic was characterized as toxigenic V. cholerae, serogroup O1, serotype Ogawa, biotype El Tor. In November 2010, the outbreak of cholera spread to the Dominican Republic and has been ongoing there but decreased during 2011 and 2012. In 2012 an outbreak of cholera was documented in Cuba.
Outbreaks of histoplasmosis have occurred in travelers to some Caribbean islands and to mainland French Guinea. In 2011, three French cavers developed pulmonary histoplasmosis after a trip to Cuba. Spelunking and trekking may put travelers at higher risk for exposure.
In recent years, rabies has been reported in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Grenada, and Puerto Rico.
Physical Concerns for the Traveler
Crime and Drugs
The crime rate is high in some countries of the Caribbean. A 2007 report from the World Bank estimated that the overall murder rate in the Caribbean was 30 per 100,000 inhabitants, 4 times that in North America. Visitors are rarely the victims of violent crime, but are most often victims of property crimes and may be targeted in locations frequented by tourists. Statistics suggest lower crime rates in the Caribbean countries of Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, Saint-Barthélemy, the British Virgin Islands, Bonaire, and Dominica. Travelers from the United States who are visiting friends and relatives in the Caribbean will most likely enter communities that the average tourist will not. These travelers should be reminded that they are not immune to crime and injury in these communities.
Travelers should be aware that while illegal drug use is prevalent in some tourist areas, possession or use of marijuana and other illicit drugs is illegal.
Traffic crashes are the leading cause of injury death among US citizens in foreign countries. Tourists will encounter road conditions that differ substantially from those in the United States. In some countries, roads may vary from 2-lane paved roads to dirt tracks, and some may lack markings or reflectors. Although many Caribbean countries have areas with well-paved roads and even highways, many countries and many areas within countries have long, curvy roads with steep stretches where parts of the road are in disrepair. This is especially true in rural and mountainous areas. In a few of the smaller Caribbean islands, such as Bermuda, motor vehicle rentals may be limited to motorbikes, since cars are not often available. Unlike in the United States, drivers drive on the left in the English-speaking Caribbean countries.
Natural Disasters
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November and peaks between August and October. Many of the Caribbean islands are in the path of Atlantic hurricanes through the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. The southernmost islands (Aruba, Barbados, Curaçao, Bonaire, Grenada, and Trinidad and Tobago) are rarely hit by hurricanes.
The Caribbean is also an area of major earthquake activity (magnitude ≥7.0) with the potential for generating tsunamis. On January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, resulting in >200,000 estimated deaths.
Beaches, Rafting, Diving, and Snorkeling
Even in the cooler months of the year, travelers are at risk for sunburn, which can be more severe with alcohol use. Travelers should use adequate sun protection and keep hydrated. Drowning is the third leading cause of injury death among US citizens in foreign countries, so travelers should ensure that they are fit and healthy before engaging in water-related activities and always have company when doing them. Wearing life jackets while boating or during other water recreation activities can reduce the risk of drowning. Dives should not be done within 24 hours before a flight or before mountain hikes to avoid the risk of decompression sickness.
Cutaneous larva migrans is a risk for travelers on some beaches in the Caribbean. Leptospirosis is common in many areas and poses a risk to travelers engaged in freshwater activities, such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, adventure racing, or hiking.

text: Gardening Gardeners' Gems: Designer Crops That Will Wow The Neighbors To the home gardener who says "been there, done that" to the heirloom green bean, the French breakfast radish or the Brandywine tomato, take heart. Nurseries and seed companies are competing to bring you the most colorful and flavorful designer edibles they can come up with. They travel the world looking for the next in-vogue plant for the home horticulturist. Every few years they introduce these new chic varieties in their catalogs and websites. Lesson Learned From 'Bucket List Of Gardens In England': Plant For The Future By Bellamy Pailthorp • Feb 7, 2014 Nan Sterman photo / Plant Soup, Inc. Listen Listening... / 1:47 From growing your own food to planting native or drought-resistant plants, sustainability themes abound at this year's Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle. At least one presenter took that idea to the next level by sharing a lesson she learned while admiring some of the world's most famous gardens. Nan Sterman is a garden writer from San Diego who attends the show in Seattle just about every year. This year, she presented a talk titled "From Sustainability to Stewardship" based on a tour of old English gardens she led last summer in the U.K. Seattle Setting Example for Community Gardens Nationwide By Bellamy Pailthorp • Aug 9, 2013 Courtesy City of Seattle Listen Listening... / 1:10 Seattle started its first city-sponsored P-Patch program 40 years ago. To help mark the anniversary, the American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) is holding its national conference here. Gardeners from more than 30 states and six foreign countries are attending. 'Cropswap' website takes barter between home gardeners online By Bellamy Pailthorp • Sep 4, 2012 Bellamy Pailthorp / KPLU News What do you do when you've got a bumper crop of zucchini or lettuce? Or flower bulbs that have multiplied like rabbits? Many people give their extras away. And in the down economy, more and more hobby gardeners are trading their bounty at swap meets. A new website from a team in Seattle and Tacoma makes those transactions easier. Seattle's 'UpGarden' P-Patch takes community gardening to new heights By Bellamy Pailthorp • Jun 4, 2012 Photo by Nicole Kistler / courtesy Kistler | Higbee Cahoot It's a first-of-its-kind in Seattle and perhaps even the country. Over the weekend, the city celebrated the opening of its first-ever rooftop community garden. Its design is garnering interest from around the region, as urban planners look for ways to integrate more open space and urban agriculture into increasingly dense neighborhoods. Thomas Jefferson's Vegetable Garden: A Thing Of Beauty And Science By Graham Smith • May 10, 2012 When you listen to All Things Considered host Melissa Block's story about Thomas Jefferson's garden, you'll hear how he cared about putting peas on the table and sharing seeds with his friends. He also set loftier goals for his vegetable garden: Monticello's south-facing expanse was a living laboratory for a lifelong tinkerer and almost obsessive record keeper. Jefferson was, in many ways, a crop scientist.

Jets QB Mark Sanchez admitted that he had never played a football game where the temperature was lower than 55 degrees. Well after throwing 5 interceptions at breezy Giants Stadium today with temperatures in the 40's, just wait until he gets to Gillette Stadium on November 22 at 4:15 p.m. If the weather is anything like it was today, he and his Jets teammates will fare no better than Collins and the Titans. If he thinks it was difficult to complete passes against the Bills secondary, wait until he lines up in week 11 against the fast, hard-hitting, rapidly-maturing PATS secondary. Bodden, Butler, Wilhite, Springs, Merriweather, Sanders, Chung, and particularly McGowan who is all over the field, will be fighting one another for interceptions of those flutter balls that Sanchez throws up. And after Braylon Edwards takes a few good licks from Meriweather & Co. after waiting for these flutter balls to come down, he will develop a quick case of 'alligator' arms.
And, I can't wait to see how the big-mouth CB, "shut-down" Revis deals with the PATS receivers.

Memphis firm that tells Christians to acquire gold and silver gets sued by investors
Memphis financial adviser Larry Bates faces a lawsuit filed by two investors who claim his firm failed to deliver a full order of gold and silver.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in federal district court in Memphis against First American Monetary Consultants Inc. by investors claiming about $60,000 in combined losses.
It follows two similar complaints filed by investors in 2011 against the firm in federal courts in Charlotte, N.C., and Springfield, Mass.
Bates, a former Tennessee state representative from Hardeman County, is chief executive officer of First American, which has offices in Memphis and Fort Collins, Colo.
First American broadcasts and publishes financial advice, contending Christians should hold gold and silver as a hedge against world chaos.
Defendants named in the Memphis lawsuit are Damian Orlowski of Chicago and Lynn Cechin of Lewisville, Texas.
Bates did not return phone calls Thursday seeking comment.
WMC-TV Channel 5 reported Wednesday that Bates described the lawsuit as "pure nonsense" and said it traces to political rivals and a former employee.
Orlowski claims he ordered $100,000 worth of gold and $200,000 worth of silver in 2008 from First American. Instead of getting Silver Eagles, the lawsuit contends, Orlowski received 80-pound silver blocks. These blocks are worth less on the market than the Eagles, the lawsuit says, and as a result cost him $24,206 to $30,295.
Because the gold order went unfilled for three months, Orlwoski claims he was forced to pay about $24,000 in early withdrawal fees on an Individual Retirement Account, the lawsuit says.
Cechin contends she paid for but never received $75,000 worth of gold in 2008. She complained to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs, and the money was returned. But she lost up to $10,000 in interest she might have earned if the money had not been idle at First American, the lawsuit says.
In the Massachusetts case, investor Christine Wrona claimed she purchased $125,668 worth of gold coins in five orders placed in 2001 and 2002. Only 25 of the 307 coins were delivered, the lawsuit contends, costing her $471,245 between the current price of gold and the purchase price.
In the North Carolina case, filed last week, James Meadows contends he agreed in 2010 to pay First American $78,000 for 250 gold coins. As of Dec. 20, the lawsuit contends, he's received only $30,040 in payment.
First American, founded in 1984, is affiliated with the Information Radio Network Inc. and IRN USA Radio News, which are also headed by Bates, according to the lawsuit filed in Memphis.
First American publishes the newsletter Unraveling the New World Order and, according to the firm's website, aims to explain "how the economic elite of the world have devised a system we call Commercial Babylon."

Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching
Hi! My closest friends would probably describe me as a strong, down to earth guy that would do anything for the people closest to me. Family has always come first for me and it is one of the most important parts of my life. Coming from a big family, there is never a dull moment and always someone to talk to, celebrate with and lean on for support. When I'm with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having that type of fun you see two people who just met in the movies having! I am looking for someone that is confident, fun and can get me to do crazy random things. I am more on the laid back side so any girl that can hang out on a Friday night at the movies or at home on the couch and still have fun is a must. Traveling, sporting events, dining out, concerts, cottaging are just some of the things I enjoy doing. As long as your with the right person, I am content doing just about anything. I think that in order for a relationship to grow and stand the test of time you need a core foundation built from the very beginning with passion, communication and trust. Anything else you want to know, just ask!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting

|12 September 1962
|Known for
|Has written several books, appears daily on Thai television's Channel 3, and runs his own language school
Andrew Biggs (born 12 September 1962) is an Australian journalist and author and television personality in Thailand. He has written several books, appears daily on Thai television's Channel 3, and runs his own language school.
Biggs first came to Thailand in 1989. With Nation Multimedia Group, he created Nation Junior Magazine for high-schoolers. He hosted the country's first English talk-back radio program in 1995. Two years later he had the best-selling book in Thailand (Thailand In My Eyes; เมืองไทยในสายตาผม) and followed it up with a book called How To Speak English Like A Farang (Westerner) (วิธีพูดภาษาอังกฤษเหมือนฝรั่ง) which has sold 200,000 copies.
For nine years he hosted the morning TV program Talk Of The Town and for three years he hosted Weekend News (เรื่องเล่าเสาร์อาทิตย์) on the weekends on Channel 3. He often co-hosts programs with conservative, wheelchair-using Thai journalist Krissana Chaiyarat, in which they both argue with each other.[citation needed]
Biggs completed a bachelor's degree in the Thai language at Ramkhamhaeng University in 2002.
In 2004 he appeared in the movie SARS Wars, portraying himself. In 2005 he received the prestigious Phetch Siam Award for excellence in using the Thai language – the first Westerner to receive the award.
In July 2007 on Thai Language Day, the Thai Government's Ministry of Culture awarded him Excellent User of the Thai Language. It was the first time the award had been given to a foreigner, and it attracted a lot of attention.
In 2008 Thais voted him one of the "coolest" bald men, alongside actor Bruce Willis and Thai journalist Sutthichai Yoon.[1] In November 2008 he ran the Bangkok Marathon and wrote about it in the Bangkok Post.
He currently hosts the daily "English Minute" TV program on Channel 3 as well as a radio show on FM 106. As of January 2009 he is writing regular columns for the Bangkok Post newspaper, Filmax magazine and Kom Chad Leuk newspaper.[2][3][4]
Andrew Biggs has written a number of books in the Thai language. Here is the list of titles translated from Thai (obtained from Double Nine Publishers and Khroo Chang Publishers, the latter of which is his own publishing company):

So would we go young Gable or old(er) Gable?
So would we go young Gable or old(er) Gable?
Young Gable. We could even give him the bandaged look since that's how he appeared in the '72 Olympics.
I would also wonder if we're overlooking anyone from pre-1970 -- a real problem I had with the NCAA 75th Anniversary Team that forgot all-time greats like Earl McCready, Rex Peery and sons Ed and Hugh, Stan Henson, Bill Koll, Lowell Lange, Dick Hutton (to name some pre-1960 names)...
Hodge has been nominated. Which other old-timer would be on par with Smith, Gable, Sanderson, or Baumgartner?
I assume we're sticking to American's only?
Here's who I'd pick for the 4 and why.
From left to right.
Dan Gable - for what he did for wrestling as a wrestler, a coach and an ambassador. Dan Gable in my opinion is the #1 guy in amateur wrestling, period. He is everything that this sport should be and should represent. He represents all of the characteristics you want in a winner, confidence, self belief, motivation, class, sportsmanship, dignity, humility. He's just plain the best.
Cael Sanderson - for what he did as a wrestler. 4 time undefeated national champion, Olympic gold medalist. I think he'll have his say as a coach too, but that is in the years to come. Sanderson like Gable, represents a lot of what wrestling is, and what wrestling should be.
Bobby Douglass - Many are probably wondering? Why Bobby Douglass? Well, I personally don't believe Jackie Robinson was all that much better of a ball player than a lot of the other greats, but he's not famous for being a great ball player, he's famous for being a great ball player, who wasn't white. Bobby Douglass broke the color barrier in wrestling. He was the first truly successful high school, collegiate, world and olympic African-American competitor in amateur wrestling. He was also the first African-American to coach, and coach successful collegiate and world teams. Bobby Douglass, is to wrestling, what Robinson is to baseball.
Mike Chapman- Does or did anybody love and support wrestling more than this guy? He may not be able to stand toe to toe on the mat with the likes of Dan Gable or Robin Reed, but seriously his passion and love for the sport are hard to match. I've heard Myself and Kyle Klingman often referred to as wrestling encyclopedia's but we both take a back seat to Chapman, the wrestling Bible. Mike Chapman has done so much for our grand sport and if we had a mount rushmore, I'd want him on it.
"Within all of us there burns a passion of fire. Forever feel the heat from the flames of your desire"
Theodore Roosevelt(TR)deserved to be on Mt. Rushmore for being the first president to set aside a great deal of our wilderness areas for national parks. Yellowstone had been designated a national park in 1872 by President Grant, but TR was the first Chief Executive to show a deep
concern for conservation, or what we now would call environmentalism. But there was the glaring contradiction about him that he belonged to the Sierra Club but also liked hunting.
The term teddy bear was coined in 1902 after Roosevelt refused to shoot a baby bear in Louisiana. The Mt. Rushmore carvings would not be made today anyway, as offensive as they are to the Lakota Native Americans. Mt. Rushmore is in their sacred lands of the Black Hills. There was a movement to add Ronald Reagan's face to it until the first President Bush made Rushmore a national landmark in 1991. After that was done, it couldn't be changed.

I agree completely. I am an amateur TR historian and he is one of my heroes.
However, the same bombastic personality that was responsible for these achievements had it's negative side. The Panama Canal was a great advance for the world's shipping. But seizing the land upon which it was built from Colombia in Roosevelt's "big stick", heavy handed way did not enhance our image in Latin America. In a television interview, Edmund Morris, TR's biographer, said that after his famous charge up San Juan Hill TR complained to the War Department that he hadn't gotten his medal. A gentleman wouldn't act in this way.
Also, he wanted the United States to enter World War I years before it did.
The United States never should have been in that war. How many Americans
would not have been born had United States soldiers been slaughtered in the
trenches of Europe if the U.S. had gone into the conflict in 1914?
But I read in the 1931 biography of TR by Pringle that TR continued his wrestling workouts until he was governor of New York, by which time he was in his early forties. He stopped wrestling then because of a rib broken during a match. In 1904, soon after he was elected to the presidency for term of his own, he was boxing with a naval officer and took a blow to his head. It led to hemorrhaging, that left him blind in one eye.

"And if you would count the favours of Allah, never could you be able to count them. Truly! Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surah 16 Ayah 18)

This super simple whole steamed fish is one of the easiest and most delicious dinners you can prepare. A whole firm white fleshed fish is steamed with the flavors of Asian. Ginger, scallion, and soy sauce merry so well with the fish and the flavors just explode in your mouth. This is a common cooking technique used in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia. You can purchase a fresh whole fish from your local fishmonger. I like to keep the head on when steaming because it adds such great depth of flavor to the dish. If you do not have access to whole fish, this recipe can also be done with fish fillets. Watch the video below to see how it's done.

Web service and reverse proxy with the speedy nginx
Small but Powerful
The fast and practical Nginx web server is easy to configure and extend.
Nginx (pronounced Engine-ex) is an Open Source HTTP server and reverse proxy. The Nginx web server is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Nginx, which was written by Igor Sysoev, is used with many high-profile sites, including WordPress.com, Hulu, and LinuxQuestions.org. In addition to its HTTP-related functionality, nginx can also serve as an IMAP/POP3 proxy.
Nginx's basic HTTP support includes the ability to serve static files, accelerated reverse proxying with optional caching, simple load balancing and fault tolerance, remote FastCGI with caching/acceleration, and SSL/TLS server name indication (SNI). Like Apache's httpd, nginx has many features that are implemented in a modular fashion and only need to be enabled if you plan to use them. Unlike the process-based httpd, though, nginx is asynchronous. The main advantage of the asynchronous approach is scalability. In a process-based server, each simultaneous connection requires a thread, which can lead to significant overhead, especially when under high load. An asynchronous server, on the other hand, is event-driven and handles requests in a single (or at least very few) threads.
If you have a simple site or are starting from scratch, it's very possible you can completely forgo Apache and just use nginx for all your HTTP needs. If you choose to go this route, I recommend you visit the nginx Modules page [2] and verify that all the functionality you require is available with an nginx module. This article describes the common case of nginx acting as a load balancing reverse proxy to multiple existing Apache httpd back-ends. Nginx will serve some static content and then automatically gzip the dynamic content it is proxying from httpd.
Most Linux distributions have nginx in their package repositories, so you can easily install it using the standard package manager. If the packaged version for your distro is outdated or not available, visit http://nginx.net/ and download the latest stable version (0.7.61 at the time this article was written). The installation involves the standard ./configure && make && make install process. Although the defaults should work in most cases, I recommend you check out the available configuration options and tailor them to suit your environment. By default, you should see something similar to the following after you run ./configure:
Configuration summary + using system PCRE library + using system OpenSSL library + md5: using OpenSSL library + using sha1 library: /usr/include + using system zlib library
It's important to verify that the preceding libraries are found if you plan on using any of the functionality associated with them. For instance, the Rewrite module requires the PCRE library, and SSL support requires OpenSSL. With nginx installed, it's time set up a basic configuration.
Basic Configuration
This article assumes a three-server infrastructure. The machine with nginx should ideally be on both a front-end public facing network and a back-end private network. The machines running httpd do not need any front-end network access. The layout for this article is shown in Table 1. With Table 1 in mind, edit the nginx.conf file with the information shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1
Basic nginx.conf
01 user nobody; 02 worker_processes 2; 03 04 events { 05 worker_connections 1024; 06 use epoll; 07 } 08 09 http { 10 include mime.types; 11 default_type application/octet-stream; 12 log_format custom '$http_host $remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" ' 13 '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" ' 14 '"$http_user_agent"'; 15 access_log /path/to/access.log custom; 16 sendfile on; 17 server_tokens off; 18 19 upstream cluster { 20 server 192.168.1.2 weight=1; // the weight can be adjust to send more 21 server 192.168.1.3 weight=1; // traffic to specific machine(s). 22 } 23 24 server { 25 listen 10.0.0.1:80; 26 server_name www.domain.com domain.com; 27 location / { 28 proxy_pass http://cluster; 29 proxy_redirect off; 30 proxy_set_header Host $host; 31 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; 32 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; 33 proxy_buffers 8 32k; 34 } 35 } 36 }
This configuration will result in both back-end machines getting the same number of requests. By default, nginx performs simple per-request, round-robin load balancing. If you'd like requests to be distributed between upstreams based on the IP address of the client, you can use the ip_hash directive. Additional, more advanced load balancing algorithm support is planned for a future nginx release. Note that, by default, all requests passed to the back-end httpd processes will appear to originate from the IP address of the nginx machine. I suggest you pass the IP address from the original request to httpd via the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header and then intercept that information with the httpd mod_rpaf module, which will change the remote IP address visible to other httpd modules. The mod_rpaf module is open source and available for download [3].
SSL Support
If you're using nginx as a load balancing reverse proxy, configuring it to handle SSL requests has multiple benefits. This approach simplifies your httpd configuration, offloads the CPU-load associated with SSL processing, and allows for easier load balancing, since it resolves the need to have "sticky" SSL sessions. Configuring SSL support is simple and requires the same CRT and KEY files as an httpd SSL configuration. Using the proxy configuration in Listing 1 as a template, add the settings in Listing 2.
Listing 2
SSL in nginx.conf
01 server { 02 listen 10.0.0.1:443; 03 server_name www.domain.com; 04 add_header Front-End-Https on; 05 keepalive_timeout 70; 06 ssl on; 07 ssl_certificate /path/to/server.crt; 08 ssl_certificate_key /path/to/server.key; 09 10 location / { 11 proxy_pass http://cluster; 12 proxy_redirect off; 13 proxy_set_header Host $host; 14 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; 15 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; 16 proxy_buffers 4 32k; 17 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; 18 } 19 }
Note that there are two caveats in the current nginx SSL implementation. The stable branch does not have certificate revocation list support. This issue has been addressed in unstable versions ≥0.8.7. Next, if you have a chain certificate file (sometimes called an intermediate certificate), you don't specify it separately as you do in httpd. Instead you need to add the information from the chain certificate to the end of your main certificate file. Do this by typing cat chain.crt >> server.crt on the command line. Once that is done, you won't use the chain certificate file for anything else; you simply point ssl_certificate to the main certificate file.
