Bank Muamalat Indonesia, the country's second-largest Shariah-compliant lender, will sell dollar-denominated Islamic bonds this year to support overseas expansion, said Hendiarto, the chief financial officer at the bank.
The sale, which may be worth $50 million to $100 million, will be the bank's first attempt to tap international capital markets, Hendiarto said at a news conference to announce the lender's earnings in Jakarta on Monday.
"We're looking at a medium-term note sale of not more than five years," Hendiarto said. "The exact amount is still being studied and will depend on our needs. We're targeting investors in the Middle East and Malaysia."
The bank also hopes to sell Rp 800 billion to Rp 1.5 trillion ($93.6 million to $175.5 million) of Shariah-compliant, rupiah-denominated debt to the domestic market next year, he added. Islamic bonds pay asset returns to comply with Islam's ban on interest.
Bank Muamalat is also exploring opening branches in Hong Kong and the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah this year or next, chief executive officer Arviyan Arifin said at the same briefing.
"The overseas offices will focus on the remittance business," Arifin said. "It's still in the early stages. We need to complete a detailed feasibility study as well as seek approval from our central bank and the authorities in the other countries."
Bank Muamalat, Indonesia's oldest Islamic bank, has almost 400 branches in Indonesia and one in Kuala Lumpur. There are 11 Shariah-compliant lenders in Indonesia and 23 other banks that offer Islamic services through so-called "window operations," according to Bank Indonesia.

Wembley, England. Birmingham won its first title in 48 years after a mix-up between Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and defender Laurent Koscielny allowed Obafemi Martins to score an 89th-minute goal to clinch a 2-1 victory in the League Cup final on Sunday.
Szczesny and Koscielny both went for the ball from Nikola Zigic's glancing header from a long pass into the box. The ball landed at the feet of Martins, who slid it into the net six minutes after coming onto the pitch.
"I think it was my second touch," said Martins, who joined Birmingham on a six-month loan from Rubin Kazan last month. "I think this is the easiest goal I've ever scored in my career — and it's very important."
Birmingham, the 1963 League Cup winner who is sitting only two points above the Premier League relegation zone, overcame a side second in the standings at Wembley Stadium.
"A little misunderstanding had great consequences for the result," said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, whose team hasn't won a title since the 2005 FA Cup.
"It was a lack of communication and lack of determination as well because always when a ball is in no man's land someone has to take responsibility and go for it, really."
For Birmingham, the mix-up was retribution. Szczesny avoided being sent off in the second minute for bringing down Lee Bowyer in the penalty area when replays suggested the midfielder was wrongly adjudged to be in an offside position.
Arsenal's defensive frailties had been exploited in the 28th minute when Zigic headed Birmingham in front, although Robin van Persie volleyed Arsenal level 11 minutes later.
"For a small club like Birmingham to beat the might of Arsenal is a dream come true," Birmingham manager Alex McLeish said. "We weren't given a prayer by the pundits and the bookies but we believed today. It was a titanic performance by the players."
Three finals have been lost by Arsenal since 2005 as Wenger's wait continues for his youthful side to have something to show for its eye-catching football.
That lack of success, Wenger conceded before the match, had placed "a weight on the team." Only this season has Wenger selected strong sides in the League Cup, which he had derided in previous years and fielded young players.
Wenger hoped the final would show how far his side has matured, but Arsenal was sluggish and struggled to impose itself.
"Everyone is devastated in the dressing room, [the players] are destroyed, and I don't want to add to that," he said.
The Gunners looked nervy as passes went astray and had failed to heed the warning of Fabregas before the match that you are likely to lose when contesting the ball in the air with Zigic.
That transpired from a corner after Arsenal right back Bacary Sagna had conceded possession. Birmingham defender Roger Johnson soared above Koscielny to meet former Arsenal winger Sebastian Larsson's corner and nodded goalward to Zigic.
Zigic, the Premier League's tallest player at 2.03 meters, found space among five Arsenal players to head beyond Szczesny.
The equalizer came after Jack Wilshere hit the crossbar from the edge of the edge of the penalty area and the rebound was only partially cleared by Barry Ferguson's header. The ball fell to Andrey Arshavin on the right flank and his cross was volleyed home by Van Persie.
But in the process, the Netherlands forward picked up a knee injury that forced him off in the second half when he was replaced by Nicklas Bendtner.
Injuries had beset Arsenal in the build-up to the final, the team having to cope without captain Cesc Fabregas's influence in midfield and the pace of winger Theo Walcott.

Fresh Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Thursday, June 30
What can possibly be more relaxing than snipping some fresh mint from the garden? Nothing, unless your garden is a mutant jungle. Some of the lilies, which I love, are almost taller than me, which isn't much of a feat, but I still find disturbing. And the spiders...I think my garden is the home to the matriarch of the entire species. Case and point: After I cut a few stalks of mint and made my way out of the garden, an oddly-shaped branch caught my attention. In the back of my mind I knew that branches don't normally bend at symmetrical 90-degree, evenly-spaced angles, nor do they have fur. When it moved, I flew out of the garden/yard/neighborhood/city like a bat out of hell. Needless to say, fetching some mint is not as la-de-da as it sounds. Lucky for you and the future of this recipe, I had a death grip on the mint stalks as I was running and I made it safely back to the confines of my tiny indoor kitchen.
And just so you know, I'm not a total wuss. There are only a few things that make my hair rise: Spiders, ants (those big ones with the creepy segmented bodies), and clowns.

Happy belated Father's day to all the dad's out there. If you have hung around with me since last year, first of all, thanks! And also, you may remember that every Father's day, as a tribute to my dad, I make something with one of his favourite ingredients, peanut butter. This year I wanted to do a little something different, because all dad's are worth at least a million bucks (which, I think, is about what they end up spending on their daughters.)

If only I loved typing as much as I love baking. I'm a terrible typist. I don't type so much as peck at the keys, as though my hands were hungry chickens grabbing for their food. The only fingers I use are my index fingers, thumbs, and middle fingers. The rest of them are idiots, trying to act like they want to help, but too lazy to really do anything. If they're lucky, sometimes one of them gets to hit the space-bar. It's total chaos.
Pistachio Lime Cookies

Limes do it in a cookie.
Pistachio's are so underrated. There's pecan pie, the silly roasted chestnuts cliché, almond-loving marzipan (no complaints there), a gazillion brownie recipes calling for walnuts, and the biggest teachers pet of them all, peanut...everything. Where's the pistachio love? Although, I've got to give kudos to Ben and Jerry for being one of the few people to recognize the fabulousness of pistachios. Their pistachio ice cream is both mind-blowing and life altering...if you can find it. Yes, Cherry Garcia, we all love you, but please spare some room on that shelf for other flavours.

David Lebovitz's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Thursday, June 9
So I'm going to go ahead and be one of those people who talk about their cats. I've resisted thus far, but it's time to introduce the world to Niles. He's quirky and wise, and I think you'll love him as much as I do...almost. I'm convinced that he's not only an acrobat hidden inside a 'big-boned' ball of fluff, he's also a mind-reader. Niles goes by 2 names, so it's a miracle that he's so intuitive and balanced. When we first rescued him as a kitten from an animal shelter, he was so tiny. I know kittens are generally tiny, but he's a Maine Coon...he was supposed to be big for his age. Because of his wee size, and because Frasier was my favourite show at the time, I named him Niles. Well, it didn't take long for Niles to outgrow his namesake, and soon he took on the appearance, and persona, of a Saint Bernard puppy.

Strawberry Boy Bait
Sunday, June 5
If only it were that easy. When I first saw this recipe, which is actually called blueberry boy bait, I had this Ally McMeal-like image of a woman in a wide brimmed hat and linen dress standing on a pier holding a fishing line while schools of mermen swam below (I don't understand why they had to be mermen, apparently even my imagination is uptight.) Anyway, once she catches one it becomes human...and is suddenly sporting the Indiana Jones look, which btw, did indeed include the whip (see, not so repressed after all, eh?)

You always say what should I do
But you say – "I am not perfect too"
You always try to criticize me
You usually say "Just look at me"
You remind me what you always do
You say to me – "Be as good as I'm to you"
I should take care of you every time
When I do something wrong you're mad
When you do bring mess into my life
You say "Sorry". And I shouldn't mind
What I want to express does not count
You show that You are the perfect one
I'm fed up with what you Always say
The truth is - You just don't care

I think weight classes should start at 115 and go up in 15 pound increments until 185, then by 20. That way it's a minimum of changes while making LHW more fair. It would mean combining 125 and 135, moving LW up 5 lbs., and adding a 225 class above 205.

The weakness of the June 23 NBA Draft seems to be the one thing most NBA decision makers agree on. At nearly every other turn, there is a lack of consensus, starting with whether Duke's Kyrie Irving or Arizona's Derrick Williams should be the top pick, to which player is the best shooter, to who is the best point guard after Irving.
With that in mind, we left general managers to their opinions and, instead, let the players make their own cases. Then we took the arguments to an NBA scout.
Today, we look at the No. 1 pick. Look for debates on the best shooter (Jimmer Fredette or Justin Harper) and the second best point guard (Brandon Knight or Kemba Walker) later this week. For more on this NBA Draft series, pick up a copy of Sporting News magazine at Barnes & Noble, Borders and Hudson Retail outlet today.
The No. 1 pick
For the Cavaliers, holders of the No. 1 pick, the choice will be a difficult one. On one hand there is Duke point guard Kyrie Irving, a talented player at a position that has gained importance in recent years. On the other hand is Arizona's Derrick Williams, a freakish, versatile athlete who probably has the most potential of any player in the draft.
But Williams has a flaw—at a shade under 6-9, he's a 'tweener. He sees himself as a small forward, though he'd have more value as a power forward. Irving has a big question mark, too: He suffered a turf toe injury that limited him to 11 games this past season, a limited sample size to judge a potential cornerstone player .
Recommended On The Web
Still, when it comes to being the top pick, Irving explains that the injury is part of the case for why he should be the guy:
On the injury: "I think it was a trying part of my life because I was away from the game for so long. I have never had something like that. I have never had an injury like that. It was a learning experience, but I am glad I am healthy now. I think I am probably more mature for having gone through it, (and) it won't affect my play at all. I don't have to wear any special shoe or anything like that. I am 114 percent. I want to be 115 percent."
On leadership: "I think that is something that I can bring to a team right away. I may be only a year out of high school, but I talk like a veteran. Coach (Mike Krzyzewski) prepared me for that. He gave me as much as he could; he put as much on me as he could in the short time I was at Duke. I am just going to bring that mindset, that leadership mindset to any organization I wind up going to."
On handling the pressure to turn thing around in Cleveland: "No. 1, the pressure is not coming from Cleveland. And No. 2, the pressure is coming from the NBA Draft, just trying to get drafted. I am not feeling the Cleveland pressure. It is not weighted on my shoulders—if I get there, if they draft me. It's about just being the best player I can be and working hard. If I do that, the pressure and all of that will take care of itself."
Williams makes his case: "I don't know if people are thinking about me as the No. 1 pick. But I am used to that. I went to a smaller high school, so I didn't get noticed as much. It gave me the underdog look, and I actually like that more than being the one who is always on top. This way you can surprise people and prove people wrong.
"I think, just by how I am, my body type, being 6-8, 6-9 and 245 pounds, I am the most NBA-ready guy that can step in and have an immediate impact. Whoever does choose me is making the right choice, and whoever doesn't choose me—I will try to get back at them and let them know that they should have chosen me. I think I haven't peaked yet at my potential. That's the good thing about me in this draft—a lot of people in this draft have kind of already peaked. They're at the top of their mountain. I am barely hitting the surface."
Scout's take: "I think it's hard to ignore the athleticism and the upside that Derrick Williams has. You can see that he has a good work ethic because he has improved so much so fast. Irving is a risk. He played well early in the year, but there's still a lot of unknowns about him—we never really got to see how he handles a slump or what he does when defenses figure him out. Everybody wants point guards these days, so that is a factor, too. But Williams might be the better guy long term."

Pommery Cuvee Louise 2002
Vintage Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France
Winemaker's Notes
Avize and Cramant for the Chardonnays, Ay for the Pinot Noir, the Cuvee Louise is made from only these three Grand Crus classes. Six to eight years of ageing are necessary to fully develop its flavors.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A lacy Champagne, with ripe apricot and apple fruit layered with a base note of smoky minerality and hints of ground cardamom, berry tart and lemon parfait. Finely balanced and elegant overall. Drink now through 2022. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."
Champagne Pommery Winery
Pommery has always been avant-garde, but moderness would mean nothing without tradition. Tradition and savoir-faire, the art of blending just the right mixture of crus to create a champagne that is luminous, light, tender and lively. Such is the legacy handed down by Madame Pommery from generation to generation. It is all part of the Pommery style - natural elegance. View all Champagne Pommery Wines
About ChampagneChampagne is both a region and a method. The wines come from the northernmost vineyards in France and the name conjures an image like no other can. An 18th Century Benedictine monk named Dom Perignon is said to be the first to blend both varietals and vintages, making good wines not only great, but also special and unique to their winemaker. Today, nearly 75% of Champagne produced is non-vintage and made up by a blend of several years' harvests.
All Champagnes must be made by a strictly controlled process called "Méthode Champenoise." The grapes are pressed and fermented for the first time. The blending phase follows and the wine is bottled and temporarily capped. Then comes the second fermentation, a blend of sugar and yeast is added and, this time, the carbon dioxide is kept inside the bottle. This process leaves a great deal of sediment that is extracted through a process of "racking" or "riddling." The bottles are progressively turned upside down until all the sediment is collected in the neck. The necks are then frozen and the sediment is "disgorged." After this phase, the winemaker may decide to add sugar to sweeten the wine. Finally the wine is corked. Some wines move through this process in a couple of months, while others are aged after the riddling phase to build greater complexity and depth.
Champagnes range from dry, "Brut," to slightly sweet, "Demi-Sec." Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are used in Champagne blends, but "Blancs de Noirs" is made entirely of Pinot Noir and "Blancs de Blanc" is made from only Chardonnay grapes. The high acidity achieved by the northern location is crucial to the balance and structure of these wines.
Not every year is a "vintage" declared. In years when it is not, the wines are blended with the produce from other years to create the non-vintage blend, the house style that remains constant from year to year. But in a great vintage year, champagne houses will bottle by itself the unblended year's produce, and use other portions as "reserve" wines to supplement and enrich the non-vintage blend. A vintage champagne can age quite gracefully, and gain complexity just like any other great still wine.
Mild cheeses like gruyere and shellfish pair nicely with Champagne. Also, oysters and Champagne is a popular combination. A full-flavored vintage Champagne can go with almost any meal.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

THE BAD:Gameplay lacks a bit. Needs a bit more. But considering its a 2D fighter, it is not bad.
SUMMARY:Samurai Showdown is one of the best 2D fighter games out there. You have the rivals Haohmaru & Genjuro. These 2 are some of the best characters ever created. Not only does this game have great character designs, but the gameplay is pretty good considering that period of PSX gaming. It is the old fashion arcade style 2-D game but it is still fun. Things that you can do are: Cut your opponents down to size, literally. Slashing and Hacking apart your enemies with cool samurai swords and also having the ability to disarm them too. There is also the ability to break opponents weaponary. Not a bad game for that time of gaming, I would love to see a 3D PS2 version.
SUMMARY:Samurai Showdown is THE best 2D fighter u'll find! Not only does it have great character designs but u can literally cut ur opponents down to size, heh What could be more fun then trying ur hardest to slash apart ur enemies with razor sharp swords and having the ability to disarm them too, not only that but u can also break ur opponents sword!

ALBANY, N.Y. – Sophomore midfielder Amy Avitabile (Pembroke, Mass.) notched the first goal of her collegiate career, but it was not enough as the University of New Hampshire women's soccer team dropped Sunday afternoon's 3-1 decision to the University at Albany at Varsity Field.
|Shaunna Kaplan
The Wildcats' first conference loss of the season drops them to 3-8-1, including 2-1-0 in America East play, while the Great Danes move to 3-11-0 and 1-2-0 in the conference.
UNH busted through the door just 2:33 into the contest when Avitabile found the back of the net for the first time in a Wildcat uniform. Junior forward Shaunna Kaplan (Framingham, Mass.) took a pass from freshman midfielder Stephanie Gilkenson (Cranston, R.I.) and dropped it back to Avitabile, who rifled the ball from the left side of the top of the box, off the far post and past Albany goalkeeper Amber Maisonet. Kaplan and Gilkenson kept pace with each other by collecting their team-leading fifth assists of the season.
The tone changed quickly, however, when Kendra Harrell-Vigil took a feed from Ashley Tirabassi and beat Wildcat goalkeeper Ally Yost (Langhorne, Pa.) to tie the game at one in the 17th minute.
Albany, which outshout the Wildcats, 14-10, jumped out to a 2-1 lead with 3:31 left in the first half when Tirabassi set up another goal, this time to Katie Grant who found the back of the net with a blast from 20 yards out.
UNH battled but could not gain the equalizer before the Great Danes widened their advantage to two when Teresa Boring struck in the 84th minute off a feed from Grant.
Yost, who allowed more than two goals in a game for the first time this season, made four saves for the Wildcats, while Maisonet stopped six shots for the Great Danes.
The Wildcats return to action Thursday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m. when they play host to the University of Maryland-Baltimore County at Lewis Fields.

This course covers the enhancements to the latest release of Adobe's web design and development software. Author James Williamson examines Dreamweaver's updated support for current Web standards, such as code hinting for HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery, and new W3C-compliant code validation. James also demonstrates the new features introduced specifically for mobile development that allow developers to download, install, and configure native applications for Android and Apple iOS. These features include support for PhoneGap integration, jQuery mobile framework, native binaries, and platform emulators launched directly in Dreamweaver.
Adobe Labs recently released the Widget Browser, an Adobe AIR application that lets you preview and configure AJAX widgets for use within your sites. Prior to Dreamweaver CS5.5, you had to download and install the Widget Browser separately from Dreamweaver. With the CS5 release, the Widget Browser is now included when installing Dreamweaver. Adobe has also added some integration improvements to how Dreamweaver and the Widget Browser work together. So I have the tours.htm page open in the 03_02 folder.
And let's just go ahead, check out the Widget Browser, and what it can do for us. I am going to go right up to my Application toolbar right up top. On the Mac, that will be docked below the menu, and there's this little dropdown menu that says Extend Dreamweaver. This is one of the easiest ways to launch the Widget Browser. So I am just going to grab that pulldown menu and I am going to hit the Widget Browser. Now, the time that you launch the Widget Browser after installing CS5.5, you might have a couple of dialog boxes to say yes to, but you're simply just sort of agreeing to use it. Now, we have covered the Widget Browser before in previous titles, so this isn't so much a movie on how to use the Widget Browser; it's a movie on the improvements to the integration of Dreamweaver and the Widget Browser, and some of the features that exist now that didn't exist before.
So the first thing I am going to do is go out to the Exchange, and in Adobe Exchange you are able to find out all the new cool widgets they have available, and this list is growing all the time, so be sure to check back if you're looking for a specific functionality. What I would like to do to my Explore California site is place a few Google maps around the site, and this widget right here, Google Maps, is perfect for that. So I've already gone ahead and installed that into My Widgets. So I am going to right over here to My Widgets, and I can see that I have the Google Maps widget in my Widget Browser. Now, once you select a widget and install it into your widgets, you're free to configure that any way you would like.
So if I click on this, it will open it up and I can see presets that the developer has created, such as Paris, New York, Bike Paths, and Seattle, things like that, down to My Presets. Now, when you first launch your widget, obviously you won't have any presets, so you could go into the Configure, where you would go ahead and configure the map any way that you would like. Now, in this case I already have a preset done. It's called Santa Barbara Trails, and it's basically just Santa Barbara bike trails, and it's a nice starting place for anybody that might be looking for bike trails around that particular area, and I think that would be a nice little accent within my site.
In prior releases of the Widget Browser you simply had to configure your widget, and if you were working within a team, you would probably have to send them an email that gave all of your configuration settings. So if you click the Configure button here, for example, you can see that it's set to a specific size, a specific latitude and longitude, a zoom, that sort of thing. Well, now in Dreamweaver CS5.5, in this release of the Widget Browser, we can now import and export those presets. So if I choose Export and I go into my Exercise Files, I am going to go into Chapter_03 > 03_02, and I am just going to export it directly into this folder.
And I am just going to call this santa_barbara and save it. Okay. So now, if I were to select a preset that I already have and just get rid of it, so if I needed to send this to a friend or a coworker, I could just email them that XML file, and then I can import that in. So right there is my santa_barbara XML file that we just exported out. I open it and there's my preset. So it's a really nice way of sharing those presets, or even creating backups for yourself if you would like. Now, I want to showcase another new integration feature between Dreamweaver and the Widget Browser that I think is really cool.
What I want to do is go on my page, in Design view, and I am just going to scroll down to where I want to import my map, and that's just below this Find a bike trail. So I am just going to create a little blank paragraph right there, and then I am going to bring my Widget Browser back up. Prior to this, we would save our presets, and then we would use the menu options inside Dreamweaver or the Insert toolbar to insert a widget. Now, that functionality still works, but this is a much easier and more direct way of doing this. I can now go right here to this little symbol, which says Drag and Drop in Dreamweaver, and I can do just that.
I can go ahead and just grab that, hold the mouse down, drag this onto the file where I want my map, and just release. As soon as I do that, it drops my map right there on the page. Let's minimize this, save the file, and then I am going to go ahead and preview that in my browser. And I'll just scroll down, and there's my map, ready for anybody else to use. Now, how easy was that? That's insanely easy! I love being able just to drag and drop it. Those improvements to the Widget Browser are going to make it easier for most people to use it, quite frankly.
And since you don't need to install it separately now, it's going to make it more accessible to those that might not have otherwise downloaded and installed it. It just installs directly with Dreamweaver CS5.5 now. Now, if you're looking for more information on the Widget Browser, check out its homepage on Adobe Labs at labs.adobe.com/technologies/widgetbrowser.

I dont work for a finance company, I will be working in DE live in NY- Weedsport in fact. American workers are highly productive- but the taxes and all the other liberal add ons make is so many companies have to reduce costs and move. I am sure carrier would have liked to stay here but could not afford it.
the libs are trying to kill health care- and make no mistake the obama care bill is the reason the dems got voted out in 2010 and we will not forget this year either. craziness- doing over and over what does not work and expecting better results. liberalisim is crazy.
since a majority of the people are conservative, and conservatisim always works and liberalisim is a complete failure every time its nice to have a conservative voting the way a congress person should.
syr you gpt tp go to the house site and see all the stuff they have passed. you have to remember the vast majority of the press wants to help the libs control the world. the jobs bills the libs want have never ever worked. How many jobs did the 800 plus billioin stimulus plan save- woulds been better spent if we just divided up the money and gave it to each family. the dems and BHO have out sourced alota jobs including get this NASA. we got to send out people to space on a russian ship. fisker how many got jobs there- wait they did in Europe. All the green company failures. and lets not overlook why we gotta outsource- OSHA, EPA, Labor Dept, Taxes, and on and on all related to a bloated out of control govt. Plus the DOE has done such a good job of educating our yutes that now when they get outa school they are useless. Also a govt sham. and the dems protect the public schools when vouchers work so well.
The house has passed several bills that would get america working again and several other awesome things have passed the house also. the Reid deomcrats with chucku shumer and our other senator have refused to even debate these house passed measures. so stop blaming AMB for Dingy Harrys leys make america a socialized nation play book. Thats why Danny Muffet got beat last time, we like our country free and the govt small like the constitution says it should be.

The drug dealers who were arrested this week made far less money off the taxpayers than these honest drug dealers. Legal drug dealers are a bigger problem to society that illegal ones.
the affordable care act has sure resulted in insurance being more affordable hasn't it? Socializing has worked so well for Europe. Canada is ditching the idea soon we will be going to Canada to find a doctor becuse there wont be any left here. Mrs. Burkle has my full support because she makes the marxists and big goverment libs so upset, therefore she must be good.
I guess you are all for freedom of chioce unless it involves which light bulb to buy, or what source of fuel to use. There is nothing free about requiring others to supply you something for free that they may object to. Why is it people thinking and doing what it is they want offend you libs and progs. You are getting desperite due to the fact that nothing you champion ever works and the current regime is failing in everything it does.
lets see- they faked the climate data - the world has actually been cooling the past 15 years- what a pattern the earth cools and warms as the sun does. let see the commies who lost the ability to control every one when the USSR fell (praise Regan and his vision) now use the doom and gloom of environmentalism to sell the failed marxist utopia- not only does it fail- but it never works. Freedom always works. What differance does it make what we use- we FEED the world. Last time I checked food was important- more so than oil, or whatever we get from some of these other places. In NYS there have been 4 confirmed ICE AGES where the fields I rode my dirt bike in as a kid were covered by over a MILE of ICE. Green lake, all the finger lakes, the great lakes, were all formed by ICE. Our hills and valleys, our soils all moved by ICE. When the ICE came it got colder- way colder. When it melted it got warmer. Real science is not done by vote it is done with the scientific method. They have not used this in the politics or the science of Global Warming. I got news for you the earth has been warming and cooling for about 4.5 billion years. SUVs have not been around that long. I got a real problem when environmentalist nut jobs start regulating the gas the living things EXHALE. Before long the commies are gonna start killing people because they exhale. A very dangerous thing they are doing. Freedom always works- and does the best for the middle class and poor. The rich do better with marxism.
Why is it only blacks can lead blacks. Let us get past this racist crap for once and for all- I am declaring I am a RACIST and I am for the HUMAN Race. If you have an opposable thumb, and put your pants on one leg at a time your a person- human being- homo sapiens. Definition of a species is when a female and male can mate and produce off spring that can then reproduce. Blacks and Whites and every other kind of human are capable of doing this. Therefore we have the same genes and are the same. Just because my ancestors came from a cooler climate and thus being whiter is what happens to us, and some came from a warmer climate and are thus darker- means little. I have 2 cats one is striped and one is gray and even as just cats they both know they are cats. I have had dogs that are different colors- and they know they are dogs. The dogs and cats know they are different. Aren't we capable of realizing that all "races"- are all part of the HUMAN RACE. Shouldn't the parents of these children just care if their children are getting educated. But wait Rochester has the worst schools in upstate NY. I guess we in Syracuse should be happy for that cause if it was not for Rochester being last we would be since we are second to last. Maybe the black people should be upset about the poor education their kids get.
Zeus- the USA is not a democracy it is a republic whic means we are a country of laws- not a tyrany. A democracy is tyrany of the majority. Business onlt cut the checks when they pay the highest business taxes in the industrialized world. Customers who use these businesses pay all these taxes. The government spends way too much money and it is nice to have someone like our new congressman stand up for fiscal things. Businesses do not exist to create jobs, they exist to create profit. People will get hired when business can make profit off these people again. THe libs and progs have made a very hostile business climate through class warefare, and zelous regulations. Until they are shown the door the economy will not get fixed. Why do you think the smart thinking voters showed danny boy the door in 10. DO you think we do not like what Ann MArie is doing. Also isnt it interesting that the rich and poor are doing better the last 3 years but the middle class has seen thier incomes, home values, jobs, and every thing else imortant to them economically go down. Thats what happens when the progs and libs get what they want a ruleing class and the rest of us surfs, or pesants, or what ever as long as we are kept down. Like Rush said Obummer is not failing he is doing what he set out to do- wreck the USA and make us a welfare state. Liberalism, Progressiveism, Marxism, Socialism, and Communism fail evry thime they are tried. Capitalism works every time.
Perhaps you should look at the long list of House passed bills tha deal with the economy and JOBS. ANd then ask Chuckee and the rest of the Dems in the senate who have ignored all these ideas when they might open them for debate... Oh i forgot China is the problem. The house has passed many good bills, with smaller goverment ideas that always work. She has done her job and very well I might add.
Yea we do need more revenue. This does not happen when we increase taxes. It happens when we decrease taxes and make more tax payers. JFK, Regan, and GW all increased revenues. BO has desreased it by reducing jobs and thus taxpayers.
Well in business if you can lower your price and still keep a margin you will have more customers. Lowering taxes and regulations will make it easier to expand, or form a profit making entity. That is what Regan did and that is why it worked. More people paying less. Somewhere along the way you have to decide that taking 92% or what a person earns in his/her life to run the govt is robery. Sure the tax rate isnt 92% but when you look at the taxes you also pay in everything we buy. We still have a 3% phone tax to pay for the Spanish American war. I bet the Progs and Libs likes that when it came out because only the rich had phones than. How about now when we all are paying it. By the way that was the last war faught on horse back.
Corporations do not pay taxes or for any other regulation the big nany govt gives them. The customers who use the corporations products do. So tax the oil companies more and then complain how gas went up again. Kinda like putting a fire out with gasoline and complaining about it. Tax revenuse are not the problem. Taking money from people and making slaves out of others with it is wrong.
The progressive income tax is not over 200 years old. (in the USA)
Perhaps you did not notice- but the rich are and always do better under liberal policies. Look at the jobs Regan helped to create- through lowering barriers to freedom. WHy will less freedom balance the budget. If we just went and kileed all the rich people and stole all the money they have we would still be in a huge mess. Increasing taxes and government always results in less tax payers and taxes collected. Regan proved the oposite is true also and we were all made better by his leadership. Goverment run economies always end in tyrany. Tyrany does not help people and make them happy like freedom.
Would not these people be considered rich. Isnt the "new" lib idea that the best off should pay more. Why then did the need tax breaks. I guess when your the ruler the ideas of fairness only apply to the ranks of the little people. Makes me sick. Glad Im like most of the regular people fleeing NY in droves.
Your are totally right. I am in DE now and some friends went to the Cuse to bowl a few weeks ago. They went to Luigis 2x and Gannons. They were verry impressed.

Mayor Bob Filner described as tan, jovial, relaxed inside mediation building
Spotted smiling, but avoided cameras before media
SAN DIEGO - San Diego Mayor Bob Filner appeared relaxed, showing up to a mediation session Tuesday "tan and jovial," according to a source who saw the mayor before he entered mediation.
The source said San Diego's mayor was laughing before the meeting.
Filner, who has been unavailable for weeks -- first because of a rehab stint and then a week off -- was said to look tan, like he'd been lying on a beach.
Sources suggest the mediator, former federal judge J. Lawrence Irving, likely went from room to room, talking separately to those representing the city and the mayor's legal entourage.
"Mediations sometimes take days or months," retired federal judge and full-time mediator Leo Papas said. "Mediation is unstructured. It's kind of like a conversation or a dialogue."
Conversations about who may pay Filner's legal bills or how much longer he may stay in office are still unknown.
Any deal involving city money would have to be approved by the full City Council.
Mediation is a confidential process, and state law protects conversations and documents revealed in mediation.

The water cooler runs dryApril 09,2014If youre closing in on 50 but want to feel much, much older, teach a college course. Im doing that now, at 49, and hardly a class goes by when I dont make an allusion that prompts my students to stare at me as if I just dropped in from the Paleozoic era.
Last week I mentioned the movie They Shoot Horses, Dont They? Only one of the 16 students had heard of it. I summarized its significance, riffling through the Depression, with which they were familiar, and Jane Fondas career, with which they werent. Barbarella went sailing over their heads. I didnt dare test my luck with talk of leg warmers and Ted Turner.
I once brought up Vanessa Redgrave. Blank stares. Greta Garbo. Ditto. We were a few minutes into a discussion of an essay that repeatedly invoked Prousts madeleine when I realized that almost none of the students understood what the madeleine signified or, for that matter, who this Proust fellow was.
And these are young women and men bright and diligent enough to have gained admission to Princeton University, which is where our disconnect is playing out.
The bulk of that disconnect, obviously, is generational. Seemingly all of my students know who Gwyneth Paltrow is. And with another decade or two of reading and living and being subjected to fossils like me, theyll assemble a richer inventory of knowledge and trivia, not all of it present-day.
But the pronounced narrowness of the cultural terrain that they and I share the precise limits of the overlap suggests something additional at work. In a wired world with hundreds of television channels, countless byways in cyberspace and all sorts of technological advances that permit each of us to customize his or her diet of entertainment and information, are common points of reference dwindling? Has the personal niche supplanted the public square?
Both literally and figuratively, the water-cooler show is fading fast, a reality underscored by a fact that I stumbled across in last weeks edition of The New Yorker: In the mid-1970s, when the sitcom All in the Family was Americas top-rated television series, more than 50 million people would tune in to a given episode. That was in a country of about 215 million.
I checked on the No. 1 series for the 2012-13 television season. It was NCIS, an episode of which typically drew fewer than 22 million people, even counting those who watched a recording of it within a week of its broadcast. Thats out of nearly 318 million Americans now.
NCIS competes against an unprecedented bounty of original programming and more ways to see new and old shows than ever, what with cable networks, subscription services, YouTube, Apple TV and Aereo. Yahoo just announced that it was jumping into the fray and, like Netflix and Amazon, would develop its own shows.
In movies, theres a bevy of boutique fare that never even opens in theaters but that you can order on demand at home. In music, streaming services and Internet and satellite radio stations showcase a dizzying array of songs and performers, few of whom attain widespread recognition. In books, self-publishing has contributed to a marked rise in the number of titles, but it doesnt take an especially large crowd of readers for a book to become a best-seller. Everyones on a different page.
With so very much to choose from, a person can stick to one or two preferred microgenres and subsist entirely on them, while other people gorge on a completely different set of ingredients. You like Housewives? Savor them in multiple cities and accents. Food porn? Stuff yourself silly. Vampire fiction? The vein never runs dry.
I brought up this Balkanization of experience with Hendrik Hartog, the director of the American studies program at Princeton, and he noted that whats happening in popular culture mirrors what has transpired at many elite universities, where survey courses in literature and history have given way to meditations on more focused themes.
Theres enormous weight given to specialized knowledge, he said. It leaves an absence of connective tissue for students. Not for nothing, he observed, does his Princeton colleague Daniel Rodgers, an emeritus professor of history, call this the age of fracture.
It has enormous upsides, and may be for the best. No single, potentially alienating cultural dogma holds sway. A person can find an individual lens and language through which his or her world comes alive.
And because makers of commercial entertainment dont have to chase an increasingly apocryphal mass audience, they can produce cultish gems, like Girls on HBO and Louie on FX.
But each fosters a separate dialect. Finding a collective vocabulary becomes harder. Although Im tempted to tell my students that they make me feel like the 2,000-year-old man, I wont. I might have to fill them in first on Mel Brooks.

Geological Substrates Shape Tree Species and Trait Distributions in African Moist Forests

Background: Understanding the factors that shape the distribution of tropical tree species at large scales is a central issue in ecology, conservation and forest management. The aims of this study were to (i) assess the importance of environmental factors relative to historical factors for tree species distributions in the semi-evergreen forests of the northern Congo basin; and to (ii) identify potential mechanisms explaining distribution patterns through a trait-based approach. Methodology/Principal Findings: We analyzed the distribution patterns of 31 common tree species in an area of more than 700,000 km² spanning the borders of Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Republic of Congo using forest inventory data from 56,445 0.5-ha plots. Spatial variation of environmental (climate, topography and geology) and historical factors (human disturbance) were quantified from maps and satellite records. Four key functional traits (leaf phenology, shade tolerance, wood density, and maximum growth rate) were extracted from the literature. The geological substrate was of major importance for the distribution of the focal species, while climate and past human disturbances had a significant but lesser impact. Species distribution patterns were significantly related to functional traits. Species associated with sandy soils typical of sandstone and alluvium were characterized by slow growth rates, shade tolerance, evergreen leaves, and high wood density, traits allowing persistence on resource-poor soils. In contrast, fast-growing pioneer species rarely occurred on sandy soils, except for Lophira alata. Conclusions/Significance: The results indicate strong environmental filtering due to differential soil resource availability across geological substrates. Additionally, long-term human disturbances in resource-rich areas may have accentuated the observed patterns of species and trait distributions. Trait differences across geological substrates imply pronounced differences in population and ecosystem processes, and call for different conservation and management strategies.

Environmental filtering of dense-wooded species controls above-ground biomass stored in African moist forests

1. Regional above-ground biomass estimates for tropical moist forests remain highly inaccurate mostly because they are based on extrapolations from a few plots scattered across a limited range of soils and other environmental conditions. When such conditions impact biomass, the estimation is biased. The effect of soil types on biomass has especially yielded controversial results. 2. We investigated the relationship between above-ground biomass and soil type in undisturbed moist forests in the Central African Republic. We tested the effects of soil texture, as a surrogate for soil resources availability and physical constraints (soil depth and hydromorphy) on biomass. Forest inventory data were collected for trees ≥20 cm stem diameter in 2754 0.5 ha plots scattered over 4888 km². The plots contained 224 taxons, of which 209 were identified to species. Soil types were characterized from a 1:1 000 000 scale soil map. Species-specific values for wood density were extracted from the CIRAD's data base of wood technological properties. 3. We found that basal area and biomass differ in their responses to soil type, ranging from 17.8 m² ha-1 (217.5 t ha-1) to 22.3 m² ha-1 (273.3 t ha-1). While shallow and hydromorphic soils support forests with both low stem basal area and low biomass, forests on deep resource-poor soils are typically low in basal area but as high in biomass as forests on deep resource-rich soils. We demonstrated that the environmental filtering of slow growing dense-wooded species on resource-poor soils compensates for the low basal area, and we discuss whether this filtering effect is due to low fertility or to low water reserve. 4. Synthesis. We showed that soil physical conditions constrained the amount of biomass stored in tropical moist forests. Contrary to previous reports, our results suggest that biomass is similar on resource-poor and resource-rich soils. This finding highlights both the importance of taking into account soil characteristics and species wood density when trying to predict regional patterns of biomass. Our findings have implications for the evaluation of biomass stocks in tropical forests, in the context of the international negotiations on climate change.

In this paper we seek to identify the floristic determination biases contained in large-scale commercial inventories conducted by logging companies and to determine whether this impacts on the observed patterns of alpha and beta diversity. The study focused on floristic data recently collected by industrial timber companies in the tropical forests of the Central African Republic (28,229 0.5-ha plots spread over 14,000km2). A subset of these plots (n = 1107) was later re-sampled for controlling purposes by experienced botanists. The proportion of agreement between the two samplings was assessed for each species and independently for small and large trees, and at genus and family resolutions. Unsurprisingly, large trees and common species were more accurately identified than small trees and rare species. We found that the quality of the floristic determination increased slightly from species to families. We also detected a significant variation between concessions in the quality of the floristic determination that was more dependent on working conditions during forest inventories than on field workers. Contrary to a widespread belief, we did not find a strong bias toward commercial species, showing that commercial inventory data could also be valid for non-commercial species in ecological studies. Finally, we found that both alpha and beta diversity patterns in commercial inventories were highly consistent with those of the re-sampled inventory. This latter result shows that commercial inventories are well suited to detect large-scale patterns of floristic variation. Large-scale commercial inventories could thus play an important role in the identification of large-scale patterns in tropical tree diversity. This could enhance our ability to manage tropical forests by designing representative reserve networks and developing management plans that integrate diversity patterns at the landscape scale.

1. In tropical forests, species distribution patterns may be strongly context-dependent owing to local stochasticity of recruitment and⁄ or to the specific history and environment of each site. Recent studies have reported, however, that the degree of spatial aggregation of tropical tree species is partly determined by some species traits irrespectively of site conditions, at least at a very local scale (<200 m). 2. Here, we used standardized large-scale forest inventories of five Central African tropical forests (9670 0.5-ha plots spread over 5550 km2) to quantify the spatial aggregation of 106 tropical tree species at larger spatial scales. For this purpose, we developed a new statistic to quantify the respective contributions of different spatial scales to the aggregation patterns, and we tested whether patterns were consistent across sites. We finally asked whether species characteristics related to dispersal ability, to response to disturbances and to biogeographical range could significantly explain aggregation patterns. 3. Although aggregation patterns varied substantially among sites within each species, they displayed inter-site consistencies (21–24%of the total variance explained by species identity) at the local scale (0.2–1 km) and at the mesoscale (1–10 km) but not at the landscape scale (>10 km). At the two former scales, upper taxonomical levels (family and⁄or order) significantly explained variation in the degree of species aggregation, while at the landscape scale, aggregation was entirely contingent on the site considered. Few species characteristics, except dispersal syndromes and wood density, were able to significantly explain aggregation patterns. 4. Synthesis. One of our most striking results is the high context dependence of species aggregation patterns, whatever the spatial scale considered. However, we showed that species distribution patterns can be predicted, to an extent, at spatial scales much larger than previously investigated in this context. Such patterns may be explained by traits displaying phylogenetic conservatism [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 43 (12 ULg)

Les processus qui génèrent la répartition spatiale des arbres tropicaux ont fait l'objet de nombreuses études. Trois processus semblent déterminants pour la répartition des végétaux : la dispersion limitée, l'histoire de la zone (perturbations anthropiques et histoire climatique) et la différenciation de niche. Leur importance relative est aujourd'hui largement débattue et dépend certainement de l'échelle spatiale considérée. Dans cette étude notre objectif général est de comprendre quels sont les principaux mécanismes qui génèrent les patrons spatiaux des espèces et à quelles échelles ils interviennent. Les données traitées proviennent d'inventaires botaniques réalisés à grande échelle (460000 ha) par des sociétés forestières, en Afrique Centrale (Cameroun et République Centrafricaine). Des mesures d'agrégation spatiale sont réalisées sur 121 espèces d'arbre (individus > à 30 cm de diamètre), dans 4 sites différents et à 3 échelles spatiales : l'échelle locale (0-1 km), l'échelle intermédiaire (1-10 km) et l'échelle du paysage (> à 10 km). Nous testons la relation entre l'agrégation spatiale spécifique et une série de caractéristiques propres aux espèces : le type de diaspore, la tolérance à l'ombre, le type biologique, le système de reproduction et le type phytogéographique. Nos résultats montrent que les patrons d'agrégation spécifiques sont cohérents à travers les sites, jusqu'à l'échelle intermédiaire, mais que les caractéristiques propres aux espèces permettent peu de les prédire. La variation de l'agrégation entre sites pour une même espèce est toutefois très importante et suggère que les patrons d'agrégation observés sont en grande partie dépendants des sites et de leur histoire. Nos résultats suggèrent que les patrons spatiaux spécifiques sont liés à une dispersion limitée à une échelle très locale alors que les patterns observés à des échelles supérieures sont principalement dus à l'histoire des sites et dans certains cas à une forte hétérogénéité environnementale.

Can't Boot G4 in Target Disk Mode
I recently bought a new iMac and am trying to migrate files, applications, etc. from a G4 Power PC running Tiger.
The problem is that my G4 will not boot in Target Disk Mode!
I've tried booting holding T and it just boots up as normal. I've tried going into System Preferences>Startup Disk and it does not show me the option to click to restart in Target Disk Mode.
Possible issues:
* There are two hard drives on the computer. Both have Tiger installed. I've tried rebooting from each hard drive and neither gives the "startup in target disk mode" option under system preferences. The smaller drive was designated as the slave drive, even though I imagine it is the drive that came with the computer originally (i bought it used).
* I recently zeroed the data on that smaller hard drives to do a clean install of OS 10.4. Could I have somehow erased the ability to run in target disk mode?
If anyone has any insight, it is much appreciated.
Also, is there any other way to migrate data from this G4 besides firewire via target disk mode?
Many thanks.
I hope your "T" key isn't broken. Are you holding the "T" key right after the startup chime? Macs are picky about when you begin holding it down - doesn't work if you hold it too soon or too late. You might also try zapping the PRAM just in case Target mode is disabled (hold Apple+Option+P+R during startup, right after the chime).
thanks for your time. i gave both a try to no avail. any other ideas?
thanks again.

Katlyn's bullying began in fifth grade.
To this day, 17-year-old Katlyn (pronounced cat-lynn) can hear her tormenter's words.
Katlyn, fat-lyn, two-by-four, can't fit through the kitchen door.
"I got called 'fat-lyn' every day in fifth grade," said Katlyn, who asked that her last name not be used.
By sixth grade, bullies began targeting Katlyn on the Internet. Girls would comment on her MySpace photos, calling her ugly. They'd send her messages calling her names.
If you go
• What: Teen suicide prevention forum.
• When: 6 p.m. March 6.
• Where: Vancouver Clinic in Battle Ground, 2005 W. Main St.
• Information: Forum is open to kids 18 and younger. Pizza and door prizes provided.
She switched schools, only to find new bullies. This time, they targeted her for being attracted to boys and girls.
By eighth grade, Katlyn turned her pain into self-mutilation. She cut herself to relieve stress.
"It built up and it got to be too much, and I tried to kill myself," she said.
Katlyn's mother found her and got her help. Katlyn was diagnosed with depression and started taking natural antidepressants and seeing a counselor.
Today, she's moving forward. Katlyn is on track to graduate from Union High School -- her fifth school in three years -- a year early. She's been accepted to two colleges.
She's happier.
Katlyn shared her story with a group of nearly 50 teenagers during a suicide prevention forum Wednesday evening at The Vancouver Clinic in Battle Ground. A couple dozen adults listened to Katlyn's testimony, several wiping
away tears as she spoke.
Nurse practitioner Beth Walton organized the series of three forums; the final forum is March 6. The teens do a majority of the speaking and share information about local resources.
Walton's own daughter, 16-year-old Meredith Thompson, told the teens about her struggles.
For Meredith, the bullying started in middle school.
"Being a girl, we all know how mean and vicious we can be," she said.
In high school, the bullying got worse. Someone created a Facebook page to spread lies about Meredith.
"I couldn't go a day without someone saying something or wanting to fight me," she said.
Walton noticed her daughter wasn't her normal, bubbly self and sat Meredith down for a talk. Meredith revealed everything.
She saw a doctor, who diagnosed Meredith with depression.
Now, at Summit View High School, the sophomore is receiving straight As and doing well.
Meredith and Katlyn shared a similar message with their peers.
"You can be so down, but it does come back up," Meredith said.
"It gets better," Katlyn said. "I can be the one to say, 'It got better.'"

My girlfriend wants me to finger her but she is a virgin. I will end up breaking her hymen right?
This might be a stupid question but if I do break her hymen I want it to be during actual sex. Can I finger her good enough if I just use clit... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Well, not all hymens are the same (click here for educational pictures! link ). Depending on the size of her hymen, it is possible to finger someone without it breaking, and sometimes it will stretch rather than tear. There's also a chance that she doesn't even have a hymen, as some women are born without one, or often the hymen can be broken through other means (masturbation, using tampons, playing sports, etc.). So, to answer your question, it might break, it might not, or it might already be broken.
"Can I finger her good enough if I just use clit stimulation?" Many women prefer clitoral stimulation to vaginal fingering, but it really depends on the girl.
But, the fact that you're placing that much importance on breaking her hymen during intercourse seems kind of creepy, and even selfish to me. Why is it important? Would you avoid pleasuring her by fingering her vaginally (if that's what she wanted) just so you get to break her hymen during intercourse instead?
What Girls Said 5
Well if she's asking you to finger her - it may already be gone, via masturbation.
I started masturbating or whatev - and it really hurt at the time to even put half a finger in there. ( I lost my hymen some mysterious way, probably sports lol I don't know but it wasn't there,)
So if she's asking you to do it, I think she's already done it herself, liked it, and wants you to do it to her.
Oh and I mean, it hurt to try due to virginity. However, you have to do it a bit to start getting the better feelings, so if it feels good for her - yea, she's already messed around down there.
What Guys Said 2
As Sweetness has said, she may not have a hymen any more. Many girls lose it over the years. Horse back riding, or landing on the cross bar of their brothers bike, or school sports, or through early experiments in masturbation.
It would be possible to masturbate her without necessarily going near the vaginal canal. But that wouldn't be as much fun for her. It's like saying.. yes, she could get you off by using one finger to stroke the base of the glans... but that's not the same as getting a hand job.
Have an opinion?

Information about bathroom light fixtures is the one that you have to know if you are about to build a new bathroom. This kind of fixtures is actually available in some different variety, as fixtures which are designed for other rooms in house. In this article, you will be able to know about some general information which is surely related to the fixtures. There will also be some bathroom light fixtures ideas that you can get, especially if the design of bathroom that you want to build is modern.
modern bathroom light fixtures
Types of Bathroom Light Fixtures
Bathroom light fixtures are actually available in two different types. The first one is usually called as ceiling mount fixtures. Of course, this type of fixtures for bathroom is located on bathroom's ceiling. This kind of bathroom fixtures is suitable more for bathroom which size is medium or big. If the bathroom is quite small, it is not so suggested for you to choose this kind of fixtures because it will make the bathroom looks even smaller.
For bathroom with smaller space, wall mount bathroom light fixtures are the ones which are suggested more to choose. Since the fixtures are attached on bathroom walls, there will never be too much space taken. Without hanging any lamps on the ceiling of your bathroom, you are still able to get enough light that you need. Besides, by choosing these types of fixture, your bathroom will not look too narrow too.
Bathroom Light Fixtures for Modern Bathroom
In today's time, it seems that there are more and more people who prefer to choose modern design for their house, including for the bathrooms available in their house. If modern bathroom light fixtures is the one that you want because there is one suggestion that you may want to take. The suggestion is no other but bathroom light fixtures chrome.
Chrome is the color that symbolizes modernity in room design. Sometime it is also used to symbolize futuristic design too. Light fixtures with this color are not that hard to find. Moreover, the situation seems to be even better because many of them are made in some style which is perfect for modern design of bathroom. So now, you just have to go to a bathroom supplies store and grab some bathroom light fixtures that meet you the most, both in the type and also in the main design applied in them.
