Mutual Orgasm. {NSFW Adult video}
Note: Adult. Not for children. We share these sorts of blogs not as a ploy to get "traffic"—I'm not even featuring my posts on our main FB page with photo, which is the way we connect 80% of our readership. Our various writers share such because we aren't puritans, and we like sex and love done right, and it's part of life, and it's neither as cheaply exciting as it's portrayed in porn or magazines nor as naughty, shameful or taboo as prudes would have us believe. ~ ed.
For both. It's called mutual orgasm, and it's perhaps the only goal to keep in mind when making love.
I recently posted asking about the difference between porn and erotica, and an early comment said the video was great and all but didn't involve mutual orgasm.
Amen, hallelujah, yes, yes yes yesyesyseysyessss:
Only click ^ if you're ready for NSFW/Adult/Sex/Nudity. I'm not embedding the actual video so that no one will accidentally click on/see the vid.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

Besides if you really think sex is not sex without a "happy ending" (ie, cum shot) … you are doing it wrong. Orgasm obsession is just that, don't confuse cumming with sex or love making.
This is absurd, why are you posting teens being paid to fuck (and badly)? The actress is spending the majority of the time making face for the camera … it's so clearly disingenuous. Traffic indeed.
Totally agree with the above comment. It's simply pathetic acting and video shooting. If I wanted porn, I would NOT seek that video out nor Elephant journal. Pretty pathetic people!
[…] we get "lost" inside sex and the almighty orgasm, and if that's the greatest place most experience connectivity, what keeps us from being […]

Making a Difference:
Helping Parents Find Answers
When I heard Dr. Dahlem on KET, I thought, 'This is just wonderful. Here is the answer!' And it was. Without seeing the program on KET, I would have never known.
Lisa Doyle
Mother of Mason, who has dyslexia
Lisa Doyle is a problem solver.
As assistant director of the Bourbon County Schools' Family Resource Center, she helps eliminate barriers to children's education.
And she's also a mom.
So when her son Mason, now 11, was experiencing difficulties at school, she put her resourcefulness—and her love for her son—in full throttle and sought an answer.
"Starting in kindergarten, I noticed he wasn't learning to read like I thought he should be," said Doyle from the picturesque farm she shares with her husband and two sons outside Carlisle. It soon became clear that Mason was memorizing the little storybooks his class used at school. "He'd recite it word for word without even looking at the book, but when he was actually looking at the pages, his reading was very slow and choppy.
"That's when I knew things weren't right."
Mason's problems persisted into 1st grade, when Doyle was assured that her bright son's difficulties were still "normal"—even when he started writing numbers and letters backward.
"I knew I had to get some intervention," she recalls.
It took some time, and some testing, but eventually the occupational therapist with whom Doyle worked recognized the symptoms and suggested that Mason be evaluated for dyslexia.
This perplexing disorder can have many different symptoms, Doyle explained. Sometimes vision testing is recommended, since people with dyslexia don't seem to be seeing the same things others are. A vision therapist diagnosed convergence insufficiency—Mason's eyes weren't working together properly—and recommended ongoing therapy. Special lenses were also recommended. The Doyles tried that.
"It all helped somewhat, but he was still skipping words. He didn't stay on the line. Spelling was frustrating. He'd know all his words perfectly on Thursday night and do well on the Friday test, but then he wouldn't recognize the words again the next day on a written page—or be able to spell them aloud the following week."
By the 4th grade, the bright, engaging boy who showed a lot of artistic talent was reading far below his age level—at the 2nd-grade level or less. He worked hard; he just wasn't making the connections.
Making a Difference ... with Your Help!
Your financial support helps KET continue to make a positive difference in your community. DONATE NOW
But one night the Doyle family was gathered on the couch, enjoying a movie. When it ended, everyone else got up, but Lisa stayed in the living room and started flipping through the channels. She lighted on KET—and was dumbfounded at what she saw.
"I heard a man talking about dyslexia—that there was a glitch somewhere between the eyes and the brain. The eyes are fine. The brain is fine. That's what I'd always thought about Mason. I watched the whole program and said, 'This man really knows what he's talking about.'"
That man was Dr. Robert Dahlem, a Louisville veterinarian who invented special prism lenses to help his dyslexic son, Austin, who was struggling in school. Dahlem dedicated himself to changing the lives of other children struggling against this puzzling learning disability—and became the subject of the independent documentary Daddy, Am I Stupid? The Dyslexia Dilemma, first aired on KET in October 2006. (The film, by Michelle LaRock, was supported in part by the KET Fund for Independent Production.)
After watching the program, Doyle immediately e-mailed Dahlem, asking for an evaluation—and to be a part of Dahlem's study of the effectiveness of his treatment. Dahlem responded, and in March 2007, she took Mason to his office for testing.
"I was just flabbergasted," she recalls. "It took 20 minutes. Mason would look at the pages and was asked to name the colors. When the doctor told him to point out the purple, I must have looked at him funny because there wasn't any purple there. But Dr. Dahlem said, 'Don't worry, Mom. Only dyslexics can see it.'"
At the end of the interview, Mason was diagnosed as severely dyslexic and was offered the strongest prism lens Dahlem makes. It made an immediate difference.
"Before he got the glasses, he was two reading grade levels behind. Now he's reading above his grade level. When I heard Dr. Dahlem on KET, I thought, 'This is just wonderful. Here is the answer!' And it was. Without seeing the program on KET, I would have never known."

The cost of fuel: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!:
I've received a few emails now about the rising cost of fuel. It seems people are getting really upset for good reason. I found this email in my inbox today which was written by M. Matthews, Forest Engineering and Industry Services, Department of Natural Resources. Is a solution as easy as M. Matthews suggests?
Direct URL: http://www.3dgameman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38871
The fact the matter is oil price is no difference than price of gold; an international standard.
The reasons behind difference in prices amoungst nations and locale are taxes, duty, government aids or not, and refinery capacity.
So, not filling up your tank for one day will only hurt your local suppliers and refinery facilaties ..... not the oil industry and certainly has nothing to do with what you have to pay locally.
if I remember my history lessons correctly, when demand is low, the price will be high, but if the demand rises, prices can go down.
I just remember that that history test was not soo good :rolleyes:
Short supply and high demand will command for high price.
Low demand and plenty of supply will be worthless .... how much are you willing to pay for a pound of sand in a desert :)
High demand could be a "local" event ....for example I don't give a damn on cocaine price because I don't use it :D
Stop complaining, gas prizes here in belgium are more than 3 times as expensive(*) and we generally earn less.
1.45 / litre vs 0.40 / litre (1.6$ / gallon)
how much does the demand/supply play a role after all?
oil demand IS still increasing
First of all, gas is now $3 per US Gallon. Secondly, the complain came from Canada - first post. :)
Lastly, as I indicated the increase of gasoline price is locally since price of oil - what everyone pays in this WORLD; Belgium inclusive is the same according to per barrel of oil.
As for supply/demand economic Teus highlighted; just because world population is increasing and assuming we all wear underwear /= price of underwear keeps on increasing. :D
Maybe you Americans should finally consider driving "normal" cars which don't need their own gas-station :)
I have lived in overseas and I must say U.S. is a bit different than most other countries; the size.
Most people driving not because they like driving; there is no public transportation. One of my daughters is living in the City and working in the city. She takes bus/train to work.
You cannot ride your bicycle 25 miles (38.75 Km) one way to get to work everyday, can you?
I, for one, have never been to Belgium although one day in the near future would like to. I wouldn't and couldn't comment on a place I have not visited; as you guys are the expert residents not me.
On the other hand, I am the expert resident in the U.S. ;)

High School Softball
Peace inks Division I scholarship with La Salle
by Doug Gorman
Northgate senior McKenzie Peace can barely remember a time when she didn't play softball.
The Lady Vikings' pitcher first stepped on the softball field when she was 4-years-old and she has been hooked on the game ever since.
After helping lead Northgate to the Class AAAAAA runner-up this past season, Peace will now take her game to the next level, signing a Division I scholarship to La Salle University in Philadelphia.
Playing for the Atlantic 10 program will allow Peace to fulfill her love of softball and desire to study nursing.
Northgate came up just short of winning the state title this year when it lost twice to Ola in the winners' bracket of the Class AAAAAA tournament.
Still, Peace knows the Lady Vikings had a successful season, spending the bulk of the year ranked No. 1 in the Class AAAAA Coaches' poll and finishing the season with a 28-9-2 record.
"Playing here since my eighth grade year has really helped me develop over the years and also learn to pitch under pressure," she said.
Northgate head coach Lisa Skelton said Peace showed her competitive fires this season, pitching nearly every inning.
"She took us on her back," Skelton said "She was our only experienced pitcher. She knows what it is like to be in such a tough environment. She had to do it for us, she brought it all."
The future LaSalle pitcher also gives credit to private pitching instructor Stacy Tamborra for also getting her ready to pitch in college.
"She is just a kid who never gives up, Tamborra said. "I have known her for a very long time. She is consistent and steady. She works hard in the off season. She does a lot of strength training. She does whatever she needs to do to prepare herself."
Peace follows a long line of Northgate players who have signed Division I scholarships, including Georgia Tech pitcher Ashley Clifton and Kentucky shortstop Ansley Smith. Forrest Skelton is entering her junior year at Rhodes.
Both just completed their freshmen seasons. Times-Herald 2012 Player of the Year and Northgate graduate Andie Martin will begin her first year of college softball this spring at Western Kentucky.
Along with Peace, Lady Vikings senior shortstop Casey Kent also signed a letter of intent this week with Lander University. Junior outfielder Ebonee Echols has verbally committed to Michigan State while looking ahead to Northgate's signing class in 2014-15.
"It's great to be able to think I am continuing that legacy," Peace said. "I know when I was younger, I looked up to these players. There are a bunch of players from here who are playing college ball. I hope some of the younger players see if they work hard, they can pursue playing in college too."
Skelton knows her senior pitcher has a bright future.
"I am just glad so many players from Northgate are getting the chance to continue to play," she said. "Whether or not it reflects on what we do at Northgate it's good they can keep playing."
Peace also gives credit to teammate and friend Brittany Futral.
The pitcher-catcher combination were often on the same page.
"It helps when you have a great catcher," she said. "We have been together a long time, and we know what each other are doing."
Peace says the biggest challenge could come to adjusting to the winters. College softball starts in February when snow could still blanket the ground in Philadelphia.
"They might be the toughest part," she said. "It will be different, but I am looking forward to it."

13 (dream/nightmare) originally uploaded by Brad Dougherty
On Tuesday night I received a phone call which I must admit left me concerned for the well being of my family. We rarely receive phone calls at the house and if we do they're from relatives or friends and in this day and age, rarely are marketers stupid enough to follow in the footsteps of Justice a Clothing Store for Girls or Kirby Vacuum Cleaners in Hastings by calling those on the FCC's Do Not Call List. Unfortunately for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, they are most certainly that stupid and rank even lower than either Justice or Kirby due to the tactics they used twice this week.
Yesterday evening, after we returned home from our first trip of two to the State Fair the phone rings. I find this to be a little odd considering the hour and the person on the other end cautiously announces that they're calling from the Pioneer Press and that they are aware that I had an issue with a previous call. Knowing that I have not received a phone call from anyone, let alone the Pioneer Press, recently I informed the caller that they had the wrong number. About ready to hang up the phone the person on the other end of the line says, "No, Mr. 'Roe El', I don't have the wrong number. I dialed…," and then they continue on with, "can I speak with your father?"
Now. This is where I start getting nervous. First off I am on the FCC's Do Not Call List and have been for a very long time. I made sure to re-up status and as of October 2009 I am registered for life at the number they called on. The Pioneer Press would never make the mistake of calling someone registered on the DNC List right? In addition why would anyone call and speak to my "son" for this long before asking to speak to me? I lost my voice last weekend and I sound like a 90 year old woman who has smoked for 81 of those years. How could they ever confuse me with my "son"? It's at this point that I ask, "what was the problem again?" The person on the other end of the line says, "no problem here," and then hangs up.
Aside from the introduction at the start and the mention of the Pioneer Press nothing in the substance of the call makes me believe it's at all the Pioneer Press calling. I have had some real wackos call the house before, as if there weren't only a handful of Roehl's in the nation–let alone the Metro, and think that by finding my phone number they have somehow tracked me down. Was this one of them? Do I need to ready the shotgun by the bedroom door and leave the hunting knife I use to trim my beard while camping under my pillow for the evening or am I just being paranoid?
A restless night of tossing and turning commences with me mulling over the strange phone call from the weirdo claiming to be from the Pioneer Press. All worries cease when the same company calls back today and speak to my wife again claiming that they knew we had a problem with someone we spoke with recently. She tells me she can clearly hear that this person is in a call center and that they now want us to sign up for a free, no obligation trial for 90 days of the Pioneer Press. We wouldn't even have to call them to cancel. Unless they hear from us they will cease delivery. Sure they will…
Why in the world is the Pioneer Press violating the FCC's Do Not Call List and having their reps start off the conversation with a statement that they know you had a problem with someone at the Pioneer Press recently? Why are they trying to shove a 90 day free trial down your throat all while claiming it would be easy as pie to cancel? Has the Pioneer Press called you like this? Were you confused by the whole ordeal? Do you think the FCC should levy fines against them for their violation? Whatever you have to say about this one go ahead and comment on as I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Companion forum thread to: Tarptent Contrail Tent REVIEW
If anyone has some, I'd like to see pictures of the inside of the Contrail showing the reduced room when the rear end is flattened and staked to the ground.Is there still room for a 6'4" person inside of a 3-season bag? Does it require a large amount of care not to hit the ceiling, and the condensation on it, when moving around in such a setup?How solid did the tent remain in the 45mph winds, and in what direction was the wind coming from with respect to the tent (ie from the foot end, head end, or side)?Thanks, Dane
Edited by Dane on 11/07/2006 20:54:52 MST.
Dane took the question right out of my mouth. It doesn't look like there is much inside foot room at all, just from seeing the outside, with the tent pitched low for wind. I am liking how the golite hut uses the handle end up. At first I didn't think I would like it, but I have seen the light. A few pluses to the handle end up is:1. handle doesn't get muddy/dirty2. safer for fabric especially if no grommet is present for a tip end up shelter3. tip end is down which might give better holding power in wind or if you bump into it

one good thing about using your trekking pole handle side up is to keep critters from nibbling on the salty foam handles in the night. on the pct, i had a few visits from rodents chomping on the handles.

The difference is the weight of an energy bar - IMO, virtually meaningless in comparison to your total load.Up front, I own both the Contrail and the Double Rainbow, but am also very familiar with the SMD Lunar Solo. Both the Contrail and the Lunar Solo are excellent tents - the best single wall designs I've personally seen in 40 years of backpacking. Both have been reviewed here at BPL, and both have their strong and weak points. I'd suggest you read the reviews. Which one you choose is a highly personal thing. I strongly urge you to look at both of them; sit and lie in them; try them on for size. Then decide. Don't let weight differences alone keep you from looking at the competition. At the recent ALDHA-West Gathering, both Bill Gurwell and Ron Moak had their full line of tents on display while I demo'd Henry's Contrail and Double Rainbow between them. What a great way for hikers to compare three excellent vendors!Just to add another oar to the water, Ron also displayed the prototypes of his two yet-to-be-released 2007 tent designs - The one-person Wild Oasis and the 2-person Lunar Duo. The announcement of the later currently appears on the SixMoonDesigns website. Never has it been so hard to choose between two superb designs. You can't go wrong either way.Wandering Bob
Edited by FamilyGuy on 10/30/2013 10:55:19 MDT.
The Contrail looks ugly, and I'm sorry to say that's enough to take it off my short list.I carry two trekking poles, so why not use both of them at the front and include just one short pole at the back. Then you could have a design which looks as cute as the Wilson 400 used to. The Wilson had vestibules either side and still managed to have one of the smallest footprints I've ever seen. The front poles went beside the camper's shoulders and the single rear pole was near the feet. Essentially, it was a transverse ridge design with a foot extension. In tussocky conditions, a small footprint can be a big advantage. Tony Wilson built tents to last. He used heavy fabrics and triple-stitched seams so his tents pitched tight and could stand up to a British winter, but they still came in under five pounds. There are still some about even though Tony hasn't sold any for many years.I'm really liking the thinking behind these single skin/floating groundsheet tents and the bug proofing is starting make them look like something which would cope with the Scottish Highlands. Hamish Brown used a single skin/floating groundsheet design on his record-breaking 1974 epic over the Munros, but it had a down-to-the-ground fly and valances. I see that design as second best to the Contrail/Squall Classic type design in summer, but Hamish's Tulloch Mountaincraft tent worked in winter and also survived a trip to Greenland.So, a single skin/floating groundsheet with a Wilson 400 configuration is what I'd go for, if someone could work out how to do the bug proofing. Possibly in spinnaker fabric, if it genuinely does get quieter with use. Ray Jardine was right about connection. It is something I relish when tarp camping. With the twin vestibules open on a 21st Century Wilson, your eyes would be able to see what the world was doing just before going to sleep, without any need to bend your neck. The openings would be in just the right place for easy viewing.Till then, the Squall Classic looks a better bet than the Contrail. Has anyone tried both?

John,Can you please post some pics of teh Wilson 400 you mentioned?

I think the tarptents are the best thing since sliced brown bread and am very excited to see a new, minimalistic single person tarptent. I'm small so weight really is an issue, and anything that is simple and efficient rates highly with me. I have the Squall 2 and it's been my favorite tent since the moment I first pitched it. I've had it in rain, wind and shine and it's been wonderful, no issues at all. I actually prefer the Squall 2 to my Hennessy hammock.Can't wait to get the Contrail for those times I leave my husband behind, although reading the reviews I would prefer it to be set up with seven stake-outs instead of the four.
Yes, I would love to see it too. Please post something if you can.As for the Contrail looking "ugly", all I can say is sorry ?? No design appeals to everyone and for pure aesthetics I prefer the Squall too. The main idea (in my mind, anyway) with the Contrail is that it's very efficient at what it does and the foot end room/distance from walls is greatly enhanced using dual struts vs. an arch configuration. The rear end is also much more flexible than the Squall-style design in that you can set it up with a single rear pole in a more traditional A-frame configuration if you want to using the center rear pullout (and guying out the rear corners) or stake the rear corners directly to the ground if needed. -H
HenryDoes this mean that we could leave the rear corner poles at home? Are there any disadvantages of such an arrangement apart from less room at the foot end?Finally is there any photos of such an arrangement?Thanks
You could if you wanted to but, honestly, I don't see any real advantage. I do think it can be useful to add a bit of "lift" to the panel for snow loading or provide more of rounded top panel for rain deluge using a collapsed trekking pole. Let me see if I can pull together a photo showing how to use the center rear edge pullout and a trekking pole (and a stake) to lift the rear edge a bit.

Apologies are due.Firstly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my views may well be peculiar to me. I am sorry if my remarks caused any offence.There is an issue with the way things look, though. Well engineered items often look right. In the context of tents, beautiful engineering looks as if it will distribute the loads caused by 25 m/s winds and not concentrate them on to something like a guyline attachment. The Wilson, pretty much a collection of triangular shaped pieces of nylon, looked right in this context.More apologies because I have only just acquired a digital camera. Next time I see Bruce Brown's Wilson 400, I'll photograph it and post the result, although I must warn you that I'm struggling to get good results from my little Nikon at the moment. Also, a ferry journey is required and two of my last three outings on the Irish Sea have led to sea sickness, so there is some reluctance to travel.

Nice pitch Franco.On cold windy nights, or for precipitation protection, is that the lowest and/or most "sealed-off" that the foot-end can be when the struts are not used?
To see the Wilson tent Go to www.backpackersclub.co.uk then select "diary" from the menu at top of page then scroll down to "illustrated reports from past club events". Choose "Peak District Weekend January 1999", "Backpackers Club Treasure Hunt April 1999" (the tent behind the red jacket) and "SLMM Checkpoint Duty Weekend " .John Davis says " they still came in under 5lb". That's true, but gives a misleading impression. That figure included 14oz.for poles because in the 1980's when this was first made few people carried two trekking poles or even one, 9oz for pegs (stakes) and 2 lbs for the inner tent. Much of the inner tent weight was the groundsheet which was ultra-heavy because Tony Wilson was always accompanied by his dog, and the groundsheet was tough and heavy enough to be claw-proof. The latest version was in a slightly lighter material and the flysheet alone weighed 24oz (1 pound 8 oz.), which was 2 oz lighter than the original This would be even less in 1.3oz sylnylon. While I don't think the Contrail is ugly, I'd back the Wilson in a beauty contest between the two. It worked /works very well too.
Edited by Davidc on 11/20/2006 02:33:29 MST.
I wanted to respond to Dane's question about the Contrail's length when the rear is flattened for more wind resistance. Since the length of the tent is 112" and the floor length is 84", there is still decent space above your feet so they don't contact the canopy, unless you raise your feet. You can sleep toward the front to gain even more clearance.Regarding its wind resistance, I had the rear into the wind I mentioned in the review, and it took it fine. I had a little snow drift in through the side mesh.If you extend the front beak, you can pitch the Contrail higher than the standard 45" to get lots more headroom. In that configuration, I did brush the inside walls some, but not as much as some other tents.Overall, some people may see the Contrail as an ugly duckling, but I see it as functional and versatile. Its my favorite one-person tent.

BOSTON -- The family of a former special assistant to President John F. Kennedy is auctioning hundreds of photographs, documents, gifts and other memorabilia that once belonged to the late president.
David Powers, who died in 1998, was a close personal friend to Kennedy and his wife, Jackie. He was also the first curator of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston until he retired in 1994.
Powers' family found "an extraordinary collection" of memorabilia locked away last year as they prepared to sell the family home, according to John McInnis Auctioneers in Amesbury.
Powers, who joined Kennedy for his first political campaign for Congress in 1946 and was with him when he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963, collected keepsakes and documents spanning years of friendship with the Kennedy family. His collection of about 2,000 items will be auctioned in 723 lots Feb. 17.
The collection includes the president's Air Force One leather bomber jacket; photos of the baptism of his only surviving child, Caroline Kennedy; pictures of JFK's birthday party taken in December 1963; and a birthday card that the president sent to his father a few months before he was assassinated. Other items include ephemera, letters, documents and gifts to and from the family.
The JFK Library, which is charged with promoting the life and legacy of Kennedy, says it is trying to figure out whether some of the items belong to the institution.
"The Kennedy Library is working with the family of Dave Powers to explore whether any of the items currently up for auction by the Powers family properly belong to the Kennedy Library and should be donated to library similar to other items that they have donated in the past," the institution said in a statement released Friday.

The dawn of February heralds the start of the next phase of the cycling year: Warm weather training camp season.
We've noticed bike travel bags flying out of our warehouse at an alarming rate over recent weeks – and that tells us just one thing: you guys are taking your bikes on holiday.
Warm weather training camps, often in Majorca, are an annual excursion for many cyclists. These intensive week long riding holidays often take place in February, March and April – and they're a great way of getting some solid miles in away from the changeable (at best) and dreary (at worst) British Weather.
If you're planning on an early season training camp, or cycling holiday for those after a more relaxed experience, here are some tips:
1) Ensure your bike is ready
Make sure your bike is ready – this means serviced, with reasonable brake pads (many typical cycling destinations have some serious climbs, and that means serious descents), no clunking bottom brackets or dodgy gears. If you plan to ride all day, every day, you just don't want a groaning bike. If you need any advice or servicing, you can take your bike to any of our stores for some TLC. If you have a torque wrench, take it with you to put your bike together properly when you arrive, so there is no guess work involved.
2) Make sure you've agreed goals with your buddies
Go with a group you are comfortable riding with, and agree your aims and plans. Maybe it's about getting the miles in, or perhaps you and your friends want to explore and spend some days doing shorter rides, or your goals might be to get some short high intensity sessions in or practice group riding at speed in sunnier, dry conditions. Whatever you want, make sure you are all on the same page before you leave.
3) Start steady on long days
If you're doing long rides, don't go off too hard in the first 40 miles, and then bomb for the rest of the day – it's not fun being dragged over a mountain on someone's wheel. Take it steady, and if you've got some gas left in the tank, save it for the final sprint home. (It will happen. Every. Day.)
4) Sit comfortably
It's a very good idea to make sure you have a saddle that you know you can ride long miles on. Couple this with chamois cream and good bibs. You will thank yourself.
5) Avoid energy food fatigue
Take a variety of nutrition products. I spent an entire week one year eating the same yoghurt covered apricot bars. The bars were nice at first, but by the time I'd eaten half a box I never wanted to see another again. You will get taste fatigue, and with so much choice around, there is no need for that.
6) Watch the buffet
On food: take caution with the buffet. It depends what your holiday goal is, of course – but if riding is the key concern, be careful to eat food that will sit well on your stomach. Sometimes the buffet dinner isn't for a couple of hours after you return from a ride, so some recovery drinks could be a good addition to provisions kept in your room.
7) Pack for various weather conditions
Of course, you're going away in search of sunny climes – but bear in mind though it will likely be sunnier than the UK, it is still early in the year. If you're going up into the mountains, especially, you have to be aware that there may be snow and ice on the top of them – so when you stop for a coffee arm warmers and a gilet could be a good idea. Of course, you hope it will be sunny, but you should take riding gear for an array of weathers.
8) Have a bike box or bag that you trust
We've all heard horror stories of bikes bashed in transition. I've never personally known anyone this has happened to – so there is no reason it should happen to you – but a good box or bag will add protection and set your mind at rest. I always pack foam or bubble wrap around the frame and components, for extra protection (and I usually wrap that in most of my lycra – but if you do that, don't admit it to anyone in airport control). Also – make sure you let the air out of your tyres, or it might not just be your ears popping on the plane!
9) Leave C02 at home
Don't pack CO2 in your bike box, or luggage. The rules differ by airline, but I've seen cyclists pulled over at airport control, only to have 20 CO2 canisters taken from their bike boxes. It isn't really worth having yours confiscated – and if you're going to a common cycling destination, there will be bike shops there.
10) Enjoy yourself
This is, afterall a holiday. Enjoy time with your friends, drink good coffee, and come back with razor sharp tan lines.
Enjoy the ride! If you've got any questions, post them in the comments, and we'll get back to you with an answer.

To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Aug 08, 2011) On June 10, 2011, Mexico issued a decree amending article 33 of the country's Constitution, an old provision from 1917 that granted the President "the exclusive power to expel any foreigner whose presence is judged undesirable from the national territory, immediately and without the necessity of prior legal action." (DIARIO OFICIAL DE LA FEDERACIÓN (Feb. 5. 1917).) The superseding provision, which forms a new second paragraph in article 33, grants foreigners who are going to be expelled from the country under that article the right to be heard. The new provision states: "[t]he Executive of the Union, [after a] preliminary hearing, may expel a foreign person from the national territory on the basis of the law, which shall regulate the administrative procedure as well as the place and the length of time that the detention shall last." (Decreto por el que se modifica la denominación del Capítulo I del Título Primeroy reforma diversos artículos de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, DIARIO OFICIAL DE LA FEDERACIÓN (June 10, 2011).)
Commenting on this reform to EFE, a Spanish news agency, Senator Pedro Joaquín Coldwell stated that the "draconian" and "useless and insensitive" previous provision of article 33 on expulsion of foreigners was widely applied after the uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation in the State of Chiapas in 1994, when dozens of foreigners were expelled from Mexico. According to Coldwell, although in recent times this executive prerogative has been used sparingly, it still remained in the background, a threat to foreigners who expressed criticism of the country's political affairs. Coldwell further stated that the newly worded provision will prevent the government from expelling foreigners without the right to an administrative or judicial hearing, and it will also guarantee foreigners access to proceedings in which they can defend themselves. (El Senado de México aprueba la reforma a la Ley de Derechos Humanos, RT AMÉRICA LATINA (Mar. 9, 2011).)
The Decree came into force on the day following its official publication; that is, on June 11, 2011. (Decreto, supra.)

Waterproof canvas work pants? I was thinking like wax or something you could apply. I think those FlyFLow work gloves are coated in a wax and then baked. I hike 3-5 hrs a day everyday and want to make a multi purpose pant that can be worn all day everyday without having to change when i get home cuz i am wet. Canvas pants alone are plenty warm most days for me but wick moisture from the snow and get wet from the bottom up. I know i could just wear gaitors but would rather not have to go through all that for just a local walk in the woods. Really i am just trying to figure a way to wear my favorite pants all day and not have to change when i get home. I am also trying to not look like i am heading out for a multi day trip when i am just taking the dogs for a long long walk in woods.
Haven't tried it myself, but you may find it useful: http://www.shelby.fi/tips/greenlandwax/index.php
I looked into that wax. I think washing removes it? I found some spray stuff that says it lasts 25 washes and is geared towards cotton? I will believe it when i see it. If i don't get anymore suggestions i may just try the spray?

Republican Congressman Mark Meadows and former Democratic Congressman from the 11th district Heath Shuler teamed up Tuesday morning in asking the House sub-committee to pay Swain County money set aside for the "Road to Nowhere".
Shuler released a written statement saying the US Department of Interior has been shortchanging the residents of Swain County over the North Shore Road since 1943.
Congress approved funds in 2012 but they have not been given to the county yet.If the sub-committee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulations agrees, the bill will go to the US House for a vote.
The National Park Service is sitting on 4 million appropriated in 2012 that was meant for the county as part of a settlement with the federal government over a road it agreed to build along the North Shore of Fontana Lake in 1943.
The road was never completed and the government promised to pay the county 52 million instead of building it in 2010 after decades of debate. The county got an initial payment of 12.8 million but the House must approve the other 4 million for release.

Google TV Getting no Help from Networks
Google's Google TV system is supposed to bring that same open, Android experience to your television. Unfortunately, that is not exactly the case. Google TV is supposed to allow you to do everything on your television that you can on a smartphone or even your computer to some degree. The only problem is, content providers don't like it.
Fox has added itself to the list of networks that block Google TV from accessing its streaming, online content. This is in addition to ABC, NBC and CBS. That's all the major networks in the US. What good is a Google TV if every content provider is blocking it? Hulu is as well, making this thing nearly useless if using it to watch television was your real reason for picking one up.
The complexity of Sony's Google TV controller is also another reason to pay close attention before picking a Google TV unit up. Long story short, this thing is half-baked and Google is stepping on too many networks' toes with it. Did Google really expect to enter a new market and not expect some fierce, unfair competition retaliation from the companies that actually make the stuff you want to watch on your Google TV?
With the quickly dwindling number of companies supporting Google TV (you've still got YouTube of course but Google owns that) I've got a suspicion that the Apple TV might actually be in a better position. Sure, the Apple TV is a pretty limit unit that only can stream media from iTunes with rental fees, but would you rather buy a $99 box that streams what you actually want, or a much more expensive Google TV device that is having all of its media sources cut off?
Watching TMZ yesterday (okay, a guilty pleasure that I'm a little embarrassed admitting), the show had a segment where the Google TV from Sony was showcased when bringing up a YouTube clip for the show. The guy operating it obviously expected it to be as simple as using YouTube on his PC. Unfortunately, the whole process was a bit slow and complex. Long story short, Google TV doesn't look ready for primetime. I can just plug my smartphone into my television or use a much cheaper hack (a modified, original Xbox) and get 720p out via Ethernet connected to my home server. The Xbox might be running Linux or some custom media server software but it works a heck of a lot better for a heck of a lot cheaper than the Google TV.
Until Google gets its Google TV problems sorted out with broadcast channels and better integrates the system into satellite and cable boxes, I'll pass. I love the idea behind the Google TV, but right now, it is all just too half-baked to be a viable alternative to a computer/TV setup.
Agree with me that the Google TV isn't ready for primetime yet or think that it's the next greatest device to be released? I have no doubt that Google TV and products like it will find a strong spot in the market eventually, but until then, I would recommend passing.
Let me know what you think in the comments.smart television, Google TV, television networks

The BizView BV200 and BV300 video cards each support two digital LCD monitors and are half the size of regular video cards, fitting into both standard and low profile cases. Both models have low-heat output and dual DVI and TV-Out support. The BV200 features 128 MB DDR memory for PCI connection. The BV300 features 256MB GDDR2 memory for PCI Express connection as well as HDTV support. Diamond is also planning the launch of the dual link BV400 quad monitor solution as part of BizView line in the next 60 days. All BizView products will feature Lifetime Warranty.
According to the article, all the cards supporting Windows and Linux, unusual for a card that just hit the market. The prices are fairly low as well, with both cards retailing under $150. Cool stuff. You can read the full press release here.
Update: Diamond does not mention this other than in the specifications sheet. These cards are based on ATI GPUs code-named RV515LE and RV280, which are basically the same chips used on Radeon X1300LE and Radeon 9200 cards, respectively. Of course, they are trying to give the products a spin with packages that target a different market and with features that could come handy as such.

Fashion + Style Finds: Funboy Watches, Sarah Loertscher Jewelry and Spring Wraphabillement Coats
PHOTO CREDIT: Funboy
I love lookbooks; it's like getting prettily wrapped surprise your inbox. I was reminded of this today while scrolling through WyattOrr's new books (more on those later, but exciting news: Seamless in Seattle winners Liise Wyatt and Karly Orr have released spring and fall collections under their collective label.) While I can't share that one until they finish revamping their website (soon! I promise!), it did remind me of the other looks I've been stashing away. Here are three favorites:
Funboy Watches
I'm infatuated by new Seattle-and-Los Angeles brand Funboy. Launched by two locally-raised brothers, the company's colorful mix-and-match silicon watch faces and bands are interchangeable so you can craft one in your own style. The purple and orange is screaming my name; at $29 bucks too, you could collect a few to swap around.
I feel (slightly) better about wretched spring weather when I imagine sporting one of Elizabeth Roberts' new spring Wraphabillement rain jackets. As we mentioned in our March issue, her designs are incredibly smart and savvy. Want one? The designer is hosting a trunk show tonight at her Madison Park studio.

If you're a Marine fighting Xenomorphs, in the end the only way to win is to get off planet, after making sure your comrades aren't infected, there are no eggs hiding in some bulkhead, and that your android hasn't stabbed you in the back.
So, Aliens: Colonial Marines has a new multiplayer mode that lets you do just that.
The four on four team match is pretty simple. If you're a Marine, you've got to get through the map, holding certain points for a set time to clear obstacles before advancing.
If you're a Xenomorph, your goal is to eat the Marines before they escape.
Needless to say the mode emphasizes teamwork and tactics. There are different classes of Xenomorphs that essentially break down to tanks, scouts, and snipers, called Soldiers, Lurkers and Spitters, respectively. The Marines, meanwhile, have firearms, so the Alien team will have to plan accordingly to deal with that disadvantage.
Our Take: This pretty much everything we've wanted from a FPS set in the Aliens universe. It looks like all the action scenes from the movies condensed into one mode, and the team balance seems really promising. We're just hoping that the three "classes" of Aliens don't create any sort of team imbalance, and we'd be curious to know whether the Alien team gets respawns. But either way, this looks like it'll be a blast.
Press Release:
SEGA AND GEARBOX announce NEW multiplayer mode for Aliens: Colonial Marines
Escape Mode to Debut at PAX Prime 2012 in Seattle
SAN FRANCISCO (August 30, 2012) – SEGA of America, Inc. and Gearbox Software today announced Escape mode, a new competitive multiplayer mode, for its highly anticipated blockbuster Aliens: Colonial Marines video game, launching February 12, 2013 worldwide. With a competitive death match game mode already revealed earlier in the year, Escape mode is the second in a number of competitive multiplayer modes for Aliens: Colonial Marines and will challenge players in an intense scenario against the universe's deadliest killers, the Xenomorph. Escape mode will debut at PAX Prime 2012, August 31 – September 2, in Seattle. SEGA's booth covers numbers 242 and 252 on the show floor.
An exhilarating experience for fans of the ALIENS universe, Escape mode puts the four-person US Colonial Marines team on the offensive against a four-player Xenomorph team. The Colonial Marines must blast their way through the fast-paced map in order to escape the attacking Xenomorphs, who in return will try to eliminate their prey as quickly as possible. Under the pressure and limited in time, players will have to work together as a team, utilizing each faction's unique skills, and identifying their opponents' weak spots to either reach the safety of the escape point or to eliminate their targets.

We start with Oregon's final preseason camp practice this afternoon, which took place in Autzen Stadium with game officials on hand.
The Ducks wore their white game helmets, and all the guys I saw leave the stadium looked healthy, though my attention was split between that and doing interviews.
On the personnel front, Chip Kelly said Marcus Mariota capped a strong camp today and is pushing Bryan Bennett for the No. 2 job at quarterback, while Steve Greatwood told our Adam Jude that Hroniss Grasu is in line to start at center, no surprise if you've been following our practice coverage.
In news from Baton Rouge, LSU receiver Russell Shepard won't play against the Ducks due to suspension, which perhaps lessens a bit the impact of the suspension to Cliff Harris for at least that game. Also, a witness claims LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson kicked a man in the head during a fight at a Baton Rouge bar last week; sounds like the dude getting kicked has some issues of his own.

Installed - 8" Rize 4-Link Suspension Lift Kit on a 09 Ford F250
Installed - 8" Rize 4-Link Suspension Lift Kit on a 08 Ford F250
We just finished installing 9.5" of lift on this 2009 Ford F-250 King Ranch edition. This customer wanted the 8" Rize 4 Link kit with rear Rize springs. He also upgraded to King 2.5" reservoir coilovers w/ Pure Performance's expanded body coils for an incredible ride. We used Rize's coilover conversion kit and our TGC reservoir mounting brackets for a clean way to mount the front reservoirs. He wanted the height set at 9.5" to clear the 40" Toyo Open Country M/T tires on 20" Ultra Predator wheels. We also installed our TGC Dual Steering Stabilizer System w/ Bilstein cylinders which tied in perfectly with the Rize kit.
He is bringing his truck back for Rize Traction bars and for us to swap out the rear Bilstein 5100 shocks w/ King 2.5" reservoir shocks when they come in. He needed his truck before we could finish out leveling it w/ the front. Once it's back in a week or so, we will add a little more lift in the rear to get it level w/ the front a little more. We are also going to be building a custom hitch as well.
Installed Components:
8" Rize 4 Link kit with rear Rize springs
TGC Dual Steering Stabilizer System w/ Bilstein cylinders
Rize coilover conversion kit
TGC reservoir mounting brackets
If you have any questions about this kit or the components used, please feel free to contact us Toll Free at 1-877-274-9362. You can also e-mail us at email@example.com

How a pair of twisted sisters from Canada are helping horror cinema get in touch with its feminine side.
There is often the misconception that horror cinema caters for only the male perspective. Of course, common tropes of female victims and aggressive sexuality (on which whole books have been written) make it easy to see where this notion comes from.
The release of the 'Twisted Twins' Jen and Sylvia Soska's American Mary this January brings a refreshing female voice to a genre that has taken its fair share of accusations of misogyny. Taking the discussion of the role of gender in this psychosexually-charged genre in a bold new direction, the film is good reason for horror fans to look forward to the future.
The idea that horror is a male dominated genre is of course open to intense debate, with the slasher staple of the 'final girl' showing that audiences are always keen to get behind a (typically) pure and innocent, yet plucky heroine in the face of a demented chopper-wielding (Freudian slip fully intended) maniac.
These films offer protagonists to really get behind, with resourceful and determined leads seeking to outwit or outrun their attackers. And it is the horror genre that has offered up some of the most engaging female leads in cinema history – Halloween and sci-fi crossover Alien remain the finest examples.
Even those films that appear on the surface to use exploitation or sexual violence as a starting point, such as I Spit On Your Grave, are very much concerned with identification – we empathise with the victim's pain, and are presented with the horrific acts of these films as just that, horrific.
This is something that has been wavering in modern horror, with the rise of torture porn and similar shock tactics leading some filmmakers to bypass both the well-established possibilities of identification and thematic ability that gender gives and resort to pure objectification as a lazy crutch. An example of this is Hidden In The Woods, the forthcoming Chilean film that played at last year's FrightFest. This is a slightly concerning trend that was in dire need of an articulate counter-point.
Receiving a UK premiere at the same festival last summer, one that can always be relied upon as an effective barometer of the state of horror, American Mary received great critical acclaim, coming as it did in what was a fairly weak year for the genre. What the film offered was a young woman in the lead, strongly played by Ginger Snaps' Katherine Isabelle, who begins very much at the mercy of aggressive male authority figures, be it a seedy strip club owner interested in her 'credentials' or the lecherous instructors she faces in her training as a surgeon – particularly in a vitally creepy scene towards the end of the first act.
Where American Mary succeeds hugely is in letting the heroine reclaim her sexuality – transcending the slightly tired stereotype of the Strong Female Character to become a young woman genuinely in control (at least for the time being) of herself and of the emasculated male figures around her. This applies both literally and figuratively, as Mary's increasing control of her little corner of the body mod world causes unease in many characters, breaking through the bravado of the previously mentioned club owner on more than one occasion.
There is a theme throughout the film of the perception of women, summed up neatly by one of Mary's first patients, a woman who seeks doll-like purity through the removal of all her sexualised body parts. Although on a more literal level this works as a shocking introduction to the body modification world that the character finds herself involved with, it offers an intriguing glimpse into the concept of objectification, and can indeed be read as an outright rejection of it.
Of course, it would be short-sighted to champion this film purely because of the gender of its creators, but the Soskas' raw filmmaking ability along with the infectious energy they bring to a crowded arena makes their film one the horror community should rally around.
The time is ripe for female voices to be heard again in horror, and the early part of 2013 seems set to be something of a shot in the arm for an intelligent exploration of the concept of gender in horror cinema, something that the genre has always had a unique ability to do, but that over the last few years has been in danger of being lost.
This is not to say that the horror scene is a sexist world at all, but rather one where the themes of gender and sexuality are often foregrounded, enabling articulate exploration of ideas that are both deep and relevant – naturally, different viewers will have different readings.
Another handy example is V/H/S, which hits UK cinemas 18 January, a series of short vignettes that some festival viewers felt had a through line of threatening or dangerous women. It could be strongly argued that this film also sought to react to the nastier elements of modern horror, with one shot in the first episode coming to mind as another outright rejection.
Reams have been written focusing on in-depth analysis of this aspect of horror, with the potent threat of Bram Stoker's Dracula bringing violence and sexuality to the genre before cinema was even invented, and American Mary has similar potential to provoke discussion for years to come. The genre these days can at times seem too fascinated with the shock elements of its heritage, and the Soskas may have just brought back that ability to challenge that led so many of us to fall in love with horror in the first place.
Horror is in good shape to keep producing these kind of intelligent, articulate films, and with filmmakers as infectious as the Soskas on board, it truly is an exciting time to be a horror fan.

neither doll houses nor tree houses: on living outside of the gender binary
finished in under 24 hours for the chicago zine fest, this zine focuses on the ups and downs of finding myself outside of the gender binary and attempts to both de- and re-construct various questions about my own gender as well as gender in general. three separate sections discuss feeling pushed out of femininity, how masculinity is viewed as inherent and femininity is viewed as a fictitious performance, how striving for the "perfect balance" of two genders is not plausible nor an adequate solution, acceptance or tolerance (or neither) that i feel in specific spaces, how my radical friends misgender and disrespect me more often than my non-radical ones, the (non-) accessibility of queer jargon and language, how coming out has garnered me the most intense gender assumptions yet, dealing with friends who don't "get it", my desire to validate my own identity without stepping on the identity of others, and checking white privilege. 32 pgs, ½ size, b&w. $2-3 or trade. message me or e-mail youvegotafriendinpa (at) gmail (dot) com for more info!

"Not 'Queer' as in 'Radical' but 'Lesbian' as in Fuck You," is follow up to "Reimagining Queer Community," a twenty-four hour perzine I made in July, 2011. Since July, I have continued mulling over nuanced, and often controversial, questions regarding my association with the lgbt community at large. "Not 'Queer' as in 'Radical' but 'Lesbian' as in Fuck You" is a perzine that explores my recent decision to use the word "lesbian" as a substitution for "queer." I also talk about male domination and sex-right in supposedly "sex positive" queer spaces, the perpetuation of misogynistic troupes and devaluation of lesbian identities within "progressive" and "feminist" communities, owning up to & attempting to combat transphobia that has historically emanated from within lesbian spaces, and queer as hierarchical social capital.

you've got a friend in pennsylvania #6
my issues with mental health have always been immensely difficult for me to assess, describe, and talk about. an intensely private person, i have kept most of my struggles to myself. in this zine, i attempt to investigate the traces of anxiety, depression, suicide, and alcoholism in my family's history as well as my own difficulties with these issues. almost split into two zines due to volume, this issue is a hefty assortment of stories, thoughts, and emotions.
eight sections discuss: the secrecy surrounding my family's history of suicides, a recent suicide in my family, my issues with anxiety and pushing emotions aside, my reoccuring suicidal thoughts and how my identities intersect with them, talking with a fellow queer/trans* friend struggling with suicide, assessing my tumultuous relationship with alcohol and deciding to become consciously sober, what i can do to manage and deal with things, and what i plan to do in the future. there is a trigger warning for the zine relating to depression, anxiety, suicide, self-harm, alcoholism, sexual assault, and abuse - please take care of yerself before you read this - it is intense.

Hey everyone! I work with a queer youth drop-in center and advocacy organization here in Vermont. I'm going to be doing an ongoing zine group and was hoping for some donations to our zine library for youth to read and be inspired by. I'm specifically looking for zines by queers (LGBTQQ) and/or that would be somehow relevant to queer youth (ages 13-22). As queer youth are disproportionately impacted by substance abuse, suicide, homelessness, etc., zines related to these issues or promoting self care, etc are very welcome. It would especially be great to have zines created by queer youth... Just sayin!
Please feel free to get in touch if you're interested in donating or if you have any questions.

You draw lines and you draw lines, and then you shape boxes and boxes and try to decide which ones fit you best. But have you ever stepped outside the line, and think, coming this far, how much farther would you dare? That's why, people who are openly queer call this term coming out of the closet. Because we close ourselves, and cage our hearts, and throw away the key. This issue, we dare you to come out with us. Cross those lines on tightropes, shrug off gender boundaries, do away with stereotypes. We are who we are, and if we know this then labels don't matter at all. Because we've got to honour the differences, or what's the same wouldn't count.
And who could be more queer, or more punk than us? We ask you once again to trust us with your submissions. We ask you to explore the boundaries of gender, race, stereotypes, rebellion, and anarchy. We ask you to give us your poetry, your art, and your music, in its most rebellious, most queer punk. Mainstream or underground, gay or lesbian, hardcore or soft porn, and hey, even alpha males are welcome. We want you to colour our worlds queer(punk). Now there are no rules, no boundaries, we'll make our love on wastelands and through the barricades (Spandau Ballet).
We are interested in works that question, that reveal, that critique, that ask, that makes us curious. We want to see colors, and explosions, and madness, we want works that ignite our passion for equality and justice. We want works that ask for human dignity for all. We want works that make us want to shrug off oppression, and put it aside to forever after never be worn by anyone again. Because Who in the New World does not have a horror of the past, whether his ancestor was torturer or victim? Who in the depth of conscience, is not silently screaming for pardon or revenge? The pulse of New World history is the racing pulse beat of fear, the tiring cycles of stupidity and greed (Derek Walcott). And it need be that no longer. In the dawn of the New Age, we ask you to join us to fight for human dignity for all. Gay or lesbian, man or woman, colored or white; all different, all beautiful. And in this great future, you can forget your past, so dry your tears, I say (Bob Marley).
Send everything to email@example.com until October 31, 2011. Thank you and support the small press!

Political analysts say Roemer has chance at presidency
Former Governor Buddy Roemer is getting a favorable chance from political analysts after announcing today he's running a grassroots campaign for president with little money.
Those experts say Roemer's biggest challenge won't be the people, but rather, the Republican Party.
National Democratic Analyst Donna Brazile said, "The field is wide-open so my recommendation is go out there, make some noise and see if he can become one of the superstars."
"If there's ever gonna be a moment where the country decides that the populous message of cutting money out is something we need to return to, I think Buddy's instincts are correct," said Louisiana Demographer Elliot Stonecipher, "I think if that's gonna happen, it's gonna be this time."
Roemer is scheduled to make his first stop in Iowa, where presidential hopefuls start their journey, next Monday.

Palestinians shoot down Israeli F-16 fighter jet in Gaza
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On November 16, 2012 @ 11:43 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,World at War | Comments Disabled
November 16, 2012
Palestinian fighters have downed an Israeli warplane flying over the Gaza Strip as retaliatory rocket attacks from the enclave continue to sound alarms across Israel.
According to Hamas sources, the Israeli F-16 fighter jet was shot down on Friday.
Meanwhile, several Israelis were injured after three rockets fired from Gaza hit the Zionist settlement of Gush Etzion in al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Palestinian missiles and rockets have also hit the other Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Eshkol, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Be'er Sheva.
In Tel Aviv, a rocket hit a commercial district while a second rocket landed 200 meters away from the American Embassy. It is the first time that Tel Aviv has come under attack in decades. Three Israeli soldiers have been injured in a rocket attack in Eshkol.
Hospitals across Israel are now in state of emergency.
Palestinians have fired over 600 rockets and missiles into Israel since Wednesday after Tel Aviv launched a major military strike against the besieged Palestinian territory, killing scores of people, including women and children.
The Israeli Army says it has carried out 466 airstrikes against Gaza in the past three days.
According to Israeli sources, the Iron Dome missile shield has only intercepted one-fifth of the rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, residents of the besieged Gaza Strip say they are getting text messages warning of military escalation as reports suggest that Israeli military forces are preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza.

On March 15, Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne will open "Faces of Natchitoches", a Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest Louisiana History Museum exhibition celebrating the Natchitoches Tri-centennial.

The Museum invited residents to bring photographs, scrapbooks, crafts, letters, paintings and other items to compose the exhibition. Artifacts on display include a toy sewing machine, a Confederate Schenkl shell, an 1864 edition of the Natchitoches Union Daily and a variety of buttons and memorabilia.
Free and Open to the Public.
