Brazil is currently engulfed in a massive series of protests, incited originally by the raising of bus fare in the capital Sao Paulo. The demonstrations have since morphed into a general protest against corruption and government policies that value prestigeous soccer stadiums over education.
A small minority of protesters have unfortunately turned violent, making it harder to convey the utterly admirable aims of the movement.
UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo is among the fighters actively peacefully demonstrating on the streets. Others have voiced support via social networks, excerpted below.
Jose Aldo
Shogun Rua
Wanderlei Silva
"It's our time to say: enough!! Ask for a stance from those who you follow on social networks and let's make every one of them show which side they are!!
"We must use what we have, give support to those who are fighting for better. If you don't go to the front line of the battle, at least encourages anyone who will."
Demian Maia
"On the other hand, unfortunately, I'm realizing that some people do not have any understanding about what a democracy is. I saw people asking for the impeachment of democratically elected politicians. That's a coup! Just because I disagree with some political positions doesn't mean I want them expelled. In the next election, take voting more seriously, try to influence people, make demonstrations. This is part of the democratic game.
"Likewise, there are people wanting to prevent protesters from carrying party flags. Again, we are in a democracy! It's not 'because I do not like that particular party, I'll attack whoever is in favor.' Everyone has the same right! Ideological differences have to be respected!
"About the violence, it is regrettable. It is a minority, but a minority that causes great damage. Not only physical, but also for democracy. When the violence starts, it opens a door for fascist ideologies to sprout in the name of "order."
"Therefore, the radicals who support violence and attacks, make no mistake: when feeling threatened, many people who support peaceful demonstrations will be the first to support a fascist regime, as indeed has occurred in the recent history of our country. When in a protest, we have to try to prevent, whenever possible, vandalism.
"May these beautiful displays of citizenship and strength of our people be used wisely, improving our understanding of democracy and the democratic state in Brazil. Violence is not the way. Democracy itself, yes!"
Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva

People are fed up with democracy because true democracy never really exists. The truth is that they live in an Oligarchy and have for decades.

Shit has been hitting the fan over here.Also, Maia's education is on another level and completely nails it. His history differs a lot from the usual brazilian fighters, he comes from a rich family from Brazil's biggest city, São Paulo, and just decided that fighting was the thing for him. No wonder Anderson referred to him as "playboy".

But that honor goes to Christie and her scene with Jon Jon. The extra long session before he cums really ruined the Kleio scene for me, still a solid scene other than that, just lost all of that momentum they had. A few moments strung out in the other scenes, that are worthy of your attention perhaps. A few moments of some long oral love as the ladies await some cum in a few scenes, which as I stated in the review looses any momentum the scene had. read the reviewIt Doesn't Matter If It's Black Or White (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Tabitha Stevens, Tori Black, Maria Bellucci, Tee Real, Rico Strong, Prince Yahshua, Nathan Threat, Lee Bang, Nat Turnher, Jon Jon, Bobbi Starr, D Snoop, Ryder Skye, Rachel Solari, Ashli Orion, Krissy Lynn, Katie St. Ives, Mischa Brooks, Lola Foxx, Britney Young, Veruca James, Jack BlaqueStudio: Zero ToleranceRelease date: 6/16/2015It Doesn't Matter If It's Black Or White reviews: Captain Jack review on 9/20/2015 3rd Degree presents an all IR release starring some of the best adult starlets of the recent past (and present).

A real solid group of proven performers here taking on Nat Turnher, Isiah Maxwell and Jon Jon. Though there is no anal sex you still get plenty of good pussy pounding, some nice tease and good strong head from the girls. The bonus scene features big booty queen Brianna Love and I wish the title had been given for the title the scene was lifted from but she takes on Rico Strong and shows off that amazing ass in a good long cowgirl shot during the scene. Easy to recommend for IR fans who aren't looking for super hard sex but just good strong fucking with nice lingerie on to start and some kept on for the duration of the scene and facial pops to close out the scene. read the reviewRosco Fuji review on 8/29/2014 White is the New Black is a very nice I/R themed couples porn offering from Zero Tolerance and has 5 scenes stretched out over 2 & 1/2 hours. read the reviewBlack Male White Tail 2 (3.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Prince Yahshua, Jon Jon, D Snoop, Madelyn Monroe, Mischa Brooks, Maia Davis, Veruca James, Delilah DavisStudio: Zero ToleranceDirected by: Mike QuasarRelease date: 2/4/2014Black Male White Tail 2 reviews: Captain Jack review on 5/16/2014 Zero Tolerance�s foray into the interracial genre brings us 5 scenes featuring 3 newbies and 2 volcanic performers.

There's a definite change in style between the first three and the last two scenes, but the action is always solid and well captured. The technical aspects show some very nice care, but sadly there isn't any real care put into the extras. This is a very nicely done interracial release that's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of little white chicks taking on black dicks. read the reviewSkin Diamond: No Limits (4.5 stars from 1 review)Starring: Billy Glide, John Strong, Mark Wood, Will Powers, Tommy Pistol, Skin DiamondStudio: Zero ToleranceDirected by: Mike QuasarRelease date: 11/27/2012Skin Diamond: No Limits reviews: JK Reviews review on 12/25/2012 Hello again porn fans , on the menu today is Skin Diamond : No Limits , the latest entry in this gangbang series from Zero Tolerance.

Check it out. read the reviewbono-ONE review on 9/12/2007 A good title if you're into oil play as the ladies do some serious dousing of their bodies to start the scenes. The camera does its job too taking this all in with some amazing closeups-- the asses in particular receive this treatment and as an ass fan I appreciated it and so should you. There is some anal but not in each scene and for the most part the girls take the cumshots right to their faces/ mouths. The other main ingredient besides the oil in the scenes is the inclusion of black cocks so some big schlongs lay the pipe here and we get to enjoy the show and I'd say it's a solid one throughout. read the reviewBlack In The Saddle (Zero Tolerance) (3.6 stars avg from 4 reviews)Starring: Sophia, Julian St. Jox, Byron Long, Guy DiSilva, Delilah, Sledge Hammer, Alicia Rhodes, Jasmine Lynn, Jason Zupalo, Lauren Phoenix, Tracey LainStudio: Zero ToleranceDirected by: FletcherRelease date: 11/6/2003Black In The Saddle (Zero Tolerance) reviews: Bob The Cobra review on 1/8/2005 Ok, I'll admit-I'm a tad bit late to the party here. This movie is last year's news. But I feel obligated to review it especially with all the negative reviews I've been reading. This is a solid interracial flick-we've got white chicks and black dicks. What else can you ask for? Starting off the movie is Jasmine Lynn. Now, this might be me being picky, but I'm not that into her. She has this whole middle school vibe going on. But she's cute in her little cowgirl outfit. She does a tease, and pretty soon her black dick arrives. This girl definitely gets points for enthusiasm-she sucks a mean cock and seems genuinely into the fucking. I especially like the A2M. The scene ends with an open mouth facial, which she promptly swallows. If I had to describe Tracy Lain in two words, they would be CRACK WHORE. Seriously-she's bony, flat chested, and has this sort of perma-stoned smile. Guy DaSilva has the dubious honor of getting it on with her. Teacy seems to come alive when she gets some cock in her though and goes through the paces. read the reviewDreamWeaver review on 1/6/2004 DreamWeaver Reviews Adult DVD Talk Movie Review: Zero Tolerance Black In The Saddle General Summary Theme All sex interracial theme. As the cover reads "All black cocks, all white asses!" Expectations As with any interracial flick, particularly from Zero Tolerance, I'll be looking for gorgeous women, good camera work, average intensity in the sex scenes and a nice mix of sex acts performed consisting of tease, oral, vag and anal sex ideally with well hung black men. General Impression A good dvd. While there are no stand-out scenes, there are no disappointing ones either. read the reviewbono-ONE review on 12/29/2003 First off the title kicks ass and any Aerosmith fan will get the reference!! So what do we have on tap, well it's white girls taking some big black cocks in the mouths and in other holes of interest!! So sit back and let these girls pleasure some black cocks for you! Jasmine Lynn: Our petite covergirl is first and the camera slowly pans up her body showing she's wearing a hot western ensemble cumplete with a cowboy hat! There's some talking with Jasmine as the camera travels over her body. Miss Lynn is in possession of a fine ass and we get great tease shots of it. Soon Jasmine is sucking away on a huge black cock and the eye contact and views are top notch. The vaginal sex is highlighted by mish and doggie while the anal hot spots were in reverse cowgirl, cowgirl, and mish. Jasmine does some A2M during parts of her ass reaming and the scene ends with a fine load fired in her mouth. Very sexy cleanup by Jasmine ends her good scene. bono-Meter: 8.5 Tracy Lain: We begin again with another fine pan up her body from her legs to her face. read the reviewAll reviews of Black In The Saddle (Zero Tolerance)Page 1 of 1 Current FiltersZero Tolerance XAvailable FiltersTrailers (2)CategoryAll Sex (9)Anal (2)Barely Legal (3)Compilation (1)Gangbang (1)Orgy (1)DirectorDawayne Dane (2)Fletcher (1)Mike Quasar (7) AdultDVDTalk.com is not a store.

Honda Civic
1992 honda civic 4 door 220000 miles. My car hesitates while driving, and when I start it the engine revs(its an automatic) real bad. I was just doing a glance over simple things like the spark plugs, oil, and when I got to the air filter I was surprised to see it was brand new! I" ve had the car for almost a year now and not once have I changed it. Could there be a leak in my intake system, and could that be causing my car to run sloppy?
August 30, 2006.
August 30, 2006.
Yes it could. I would look over the air intake ducts and see if it has disconnected. Could be sucking air from other than your filter, and that is not good. If this is the case, your throttle body, along with most sensors are probably dirty and in need of cleaning. This is probably where your poor running condition is coming from.

The identity of a toddler found on the doorstep of a seemingly-random Anderson home late Tuesday night remains a mystery, one that a missing children's organization says is rare and more like something you would see in a movie than in real life.
Investigators are looking into several tips that have come in and have expanded their search nationwide.
"We don't get a lot of toddlers left at doorsteps," said Bob Lowery, executive director of the missing children division of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "It seems to be something more out of a movie than reality." ...

Address: Mr. Derwent Coleridge | Greta Hall | Keswick | Cumberland MS. Lord Latymer. Pub. E. L. G.i. 366. The top of pages one and two of the manuscript is cut off.
When he returned from Malta, Coleridge was finally convinced that he could no longer live with his wife, and in December 1806 he took Hartley with him to join the Wordsworths at Coleorton in Leicestershire. While there he determined to continue his domestication with them, and since they wished to return to the north, he thought of Greta Hall, Keswick, as a possible residence. He 'had an idea' that Southey intended to vacate Greta Hall and settle in the south, and it seemed likely, too, that Mrs. Coleridge planned to migrate southward. First, however, it was necessary to know for certain whether Southey was actually leaving Keswick. The part of the manuscript 'cut off from' Derwent's letter, then, contained a letter of inquiry, now no longer extant, to Mrs. Coleridge concerning Southey's plans. See Letter 640 and Middle Years, i. 108 and 119.
Stamped: Ashby de la Zouch.
Saturday Night, Feb. 7. 1807. Coleorton.
My dear Derwent!
It will be many times the number of years, you have already lived, before you can know and feel thoroughly, how very much your dear Father wishes and longs to have you on his knees, and in his Arms. Your Brother, Hartley, too whirls about, and wrings his hands, at the thought of meeting you again: he counts the days and hours, and makes sums of arithmetic of the time, when he is again to play with you, and your sweet Squirrel of a Sister. He dreams of you, and has more than once hugged me between sleeping and waking, fancying it to be you or Sara: and he talks of you before his eyes are fully open in the morning, and while he is closing them at Night. And this is very right: for nothing can be more pleasing to God Almighty and to all good people, than that Brothers and Sisters should love each other, and try to make each other happy; but it is impossible to be happy without being good—and the beginning and A.B.C. of Goodness is to be dutiful and affectionate to their Parents; to be obedient to them, when they are present; and to pray for [them, and to write] frequent Letters from a thankful and loving [heart], when both or either of them chance to be absent. For you are a big Thought, and take up a great deal of Room in your Father's Heart; and his Eyes are often full of Tears thro' his Love of you, and his Forehead wrinkled from the labor of his Brain, planning to make you good, and wise and happy. And your Mother has fed and cloatbed and taught you, day after day, all your Life; and has passed many sleepless nights, watching and lulling you, when you were sick and helpless; and she gave you nourishment out

The Poitou-Charentes region
Soak up the sunshine in the South West of France, and enjoy the local Pineau or Cognac. Our gites are a little haven away from the hustle and bustle of modern life but close enough for those little comforts.
We are between Cognac and Bordeaux, within easy access of Angouleme, Bordeaux and La Rochelle airports, right in the heart of the Poitou-Charentes region (easy access from the A10) and close enough to the coast for a relaxed day trip.
The Charente Maritime region has a lot to offer, with plenty to do and see nearby. We are in easy reach of Cognac, St Emillion, Bordeaux and La Rochell.
Many interesting villages nearby including St Savinien,on the River Charente which has a boating lake popular with adults & children, kayaking hire on the River, bike hire & walks and many excellent local restaurants from family-friendly to gourmet restaurants.
Superb clean sandy beaches at St Georges de Didon just 45 mins easy drive and the Island of Ile d'Oloron (ideal for good surfing and/or wind-surfing)
A perfect base to "chill out" and relax from the outside world, read, swim,relax, an ideal area also for walking and cycling (bring your own bikes or hire them locally in the village). Horse-riding is also popular locally just 2kms away for both the beginner or more experienced rider and treks can be arranged in advance.
Jonzac (3 kms) is a stunning medieval town, with an imposing 15th-century château and offering a number of shops, bars etc and 3 supermarkets to ease the search for food and drink. In addition it has thermal baths offering extensive treatments, and a swimming complex with a water slide, tropical lagoon, wave pool, bubble spas and saunas, indoor and outdoor pools, as well as offering various beauty and relaxation treatments.
Next door is the Casino for thoses wishing to have a flutter. The "Bas Du Loisir" at Jonzac offers sailing, swimming in the lake (With life guard) and many attractions including archery, rope walk etc., plus and excellent restaurant (BBQ style).
During the summer there is a "Marche Nocturne" every Wednesday evening complete with live entertainment, an ideal way to sample some of the local delicacies, a Pineau and maybe a little Cognac as well.
Hot air ballooning is very popular in the early morning or late afternoon/evening for the more adventurous why not book a ride and take off from our gardens!

"A lovely located gite which is very well equipped."
The veiws are fabulous and its in a very peaceful area. The Gite has everything in it you could possibly need and more which is ideal for larger families. The owners were very welcoming and when we had a few problems with the facilities they were quickly sorted.The pool is lovely and the hot tub is a welcome after a day sight seeing. There are alot of toys for children and our dog was made most welcome with his own paddling pool!

"If paradise is peace and quiet with wonderful views of vineyards and a pool to cool off in, this is paradise"
We booked in to stay here because they have a pool for me and with permission will take dogs. We enjoy the warmth but want plenty of shade to cool down in so havng a large out door space in the shade was pefect for us and the dogs. The other guests were happy to have our dogs about and our patterdale really enjoyed the shade after a walk around the vineyards at the back of La Pommerai. The gite was very comfortable with really comfy chairs to relax in and there was english tv to watch. Having the air conditioning made for really cool evenings which meant a really good nights sleep. Catering was easy with good choice of shops in Jonzac and plenty of equipment to cook with in the kitchen although after we found La Cle des Champs and Laurents fantastic cooking over oak fires we did no do much cooking. Exploring the area was super we loved St emillion and Blaye and the wine tastings, Hugh recommended Sebastians and the car filled with alot of Chateau Mont Conseil which we thoroughly enjoyed on Christmas day.

BR Partners Agrees to Purchase Banco Porto Seguro in Brazil
BR Partners, the Brazilian financial-advisory firm founded by former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executives, agreed to buy Banco Porto Seguro SA for an undisclosed amount.
After the acquisition, which depends on the central bank's approval, the bank will have capital of 120 million reais ($66 million), according to Andrea Pinheiro, chief operating officer of the Sao Paulo-based company. Including the bank and the asset-management and private-equity units, BR Partners will have capital of 210 million reais, Pinheiro said.
Banco Porto Seguro has a multiple-bank license and 19.5 million in capital, and the plan is transform it into an investment bank and broker-dealer license to lower operational costs, Pinheiro said in a telephone interview. The firm wants to provide initial public offerings for companies next year, "and we thought the approval process would be quicker this way," Pinheiro said.
In February, BR Partners filed a request with the central bank for an investment banking and broker-dealer license. At the time, it said that the bank would have capital of 50 million reais and the broker dealer would have 15 million reais.
"We decided to grow this capital to 120 million reais to transform BR Partners into a more robust bank," Pinheiro said.
Doubling the Team
The financial-advisory firm, created two years ago, said in September it would double its team to 150 people over 18 months to set up capital markets, broker-dealer, private-equity and asset-management desks, according to Ricardo Lacerda, the former head of Goldman Sachs's Brazil businesses who is BR Partners' chief executive officer.
"It´s an incredible time to be starting an independent financial institution with a clean slate and without any legacy assets, especially in Brazil, which is currently one of the brightest spots in the world economy," Lacerda said in an telephone interview.
BR Partners has an agreement with Raymond James Financial Inc., based in St. Petersburg, Florida, to exchange research and work together in capital-markets deals.

TerraFirma introduces environmentally friendly solution to recycling mixed concrete
Safe disposal of cement-based products and concrete is a serious concern. In an industry where material will set and timing is crucial, it is better to go to a site prepared with a little extra then to fall short of material. That is why there is usually residual mixed concrete at the end of each job – in addition to runoff from cleaning the equipment. That "little extra" adds up and can have a serious impact on the environment.

SAVOY is an electronic dance music trio with surprising roots. Just a few years ago, Ben Eberdt, Gray Smith and Mike Kelly were a jam band from in Colorado, where they were students at C.U. Boulder. Now they're headlining the famed Red Rocks arena, dropping remixes from dance titans like Laidback Luke and DJ'ing at Jay-Z's inaugural Made in America Festival.
"The band was always a dancey thing, and that happened for a few years," Eberdt explains in an interview with HuffPost Entertainment. "We just decided we needed a bigger sound to round it out and hit those sub-bass sounds that a regular acoustic kick drum couldn't really make."
So the boys added a synth pad and jumped down the Ableton wormhole at a time when many producers still weren't performing with the software. "I was the only soul except for our friend Derek [Vincent Smith] from Pretty Lights who used Ableton," Eberdt said.
And now, though they've focused exclusively on dance (be it dubstep or electro house, genres often jump between), they've decided to maintain that "rock edge." And so Kelly, the drummer, stayed on for the ride.
It proved to be a good decision. "We're all grateful to have a background in music theory," Eberdt said. "Because while we do make dubstep, we prefer to do some more melodic sounds than people are accustomed to with the more aggressive sounds in dubstep."
On Tuesday, the trio is releasing Supertrail, a free (click here to snag it) new EP featuring familiar collaborator Heather Bright on multiple new productions. They also recently dropped "Under My Skin," which features deadmau5 favorite SOFI on vocals. In the transcript that follows, we chat about SAVOY's music idols, whether DJ'ing is an art and what they're really hoping happens in Philadelphia this week.
Talk to me a little bit about the process of making the EP.
Well we did just release a track featuring SOFI just a few days ago. But most of it is made right here in Brooklyn in home studios. Sometimes we'll go into a larger studio in L.A. if we're working with another artist -- we're on the road on the West Coast a lot so it's nice to meet up with Heather Bright or some of our other collaborators.
You've worked with Heather and now with SOFI -- if you could book anyone (a producer or a vocalist), who's the first person that comes to mind?
I think that Diplo is really cool and has his hand in everything from Top 40 pop stuff to underground, world stuff. He seems like he has a massive repertoire and a lot of his artists are great. He comes to mind as a producer first probably.
Have you guys been in touch at all?
We've been in touch, but not a lot. We haven't really worked together before. As an electronic music producer I think it would be really cool to get up with him. But we're also big fans of indie rock singers and more of a raw, rock sound as well. So there's a lot of guys out there that we would like to work with in that way.
What bands or singers inspire you from that world?
Everything from Led Zeppelin, who's obviously a huge influence, to bands like Phoenix. They have a dance vibe but it's definitely a rock vibe too. And they have that crossover audience that's still indie-rock but people are over the world have their music on their iPods.
A band like Phoenix is really cool because they actually do a lot of electronic processing in the studio. And their live show is great, they're one of the few bands that I've seen that is better live than on the album.
On the live show side, I've seen you guys a few times now and there's definitely a certain energy that you bring, both to DJ sets and in the full production. Is there a particular mindset you have for that?
The general philosophy is that we're obviously fully electronic but we really like to bring the rock edge to our shows. And that's why we play with a live drummer and why we're bringing singers to our live shows. Heather Bright and SOFI are both performing with us at Red Rocks. So we really like to take music that is thought of as an in-the-club atmosphere and bring that to a rock arena and put on a rock type of energy. And that really shows through in our productions as well. We like to bounce around different styles but whether we're doing a dubstep track or an electro track, we like to give it that signature SAVOY sound.
You're booked for the Made in America Festival. Have you met Jay-Z?
I have not met Jay-Z, it was all done through our agency. But [laughs] we would all be stoked to say what's up to Jay-Z and maybe say hi to Beyonce if she's around.
So in the event he reads this article, we'll be sure to include that you are not opposed to meeting Jay-Z.
Yeah, exactly.
Going back to the live show, I spoke to Gray about using Ableton and tweaking stuff as you go along. Do you have any thoughts, as a group that likes to bring new elements to the show, about this controversy about "button pushing" and whether DJ'ing is an art?
I've obviously read up on all of that, and all of these guys are obviously very smart and successful for a reason. Some people want to DJ on CDJ's, some want to get more technical, and I don't know how much -- Your equipment doesn't limit you. Just because you're using CDJs or spinning records or using Ableton, there are always different levels. I just think that different people have different strengths, some people are just absolute geniuses in the studio, and they spend all this time on their productions and planning. We're making this song in the studio right now for the sole reason of translating that to the main arena. And we know if we do it like this, it's going to go off. A lot of people put so much effort and hours into the studio just so they can present it in a live context.
So for those people like David Guetta who is a brilliant studio musician who doesn't do that much stuff live? That doesn't bother me at all. Because being a part of both worlds, producing and DJ'ing, I know that he's not up there because his job is easy. He's put in so much work to get to that spot, and people like his music. And people like Deadmau5 who really want to take it to their live show and control live synths and crazy light fixtures -- that's his cup of tea. And we've always found ourselves somewhere in between those two.
We love to spend time in the studio and plan our sets in a way that we know we can control the energy a certain way. Sometimes if you go a bit too far with improvisation you can do something that is not as great as if you had spent some time planning. At the same time, you want to give a new experience every night for your fans, and we also like to keep ourselves entertained, so it's great to be able to change things. And it's great to have the live drummer and singers because the human element is great.
How did the Laidback Luke remix (of "We Are the Sun") come about?
He and Heather Bright are friends and sometimes people are just really nice. Luke is absolutely the man and Sander van Doorn and Spinnin' Records gave us a bunch of big support. Heather and Luke go back awhile and Luke just pretty much said he would do it. We're forever grateful. That was a really cool thing to be a part of.

Overtime Rules Disregard Realities of the Workplace
Sands, David R., Insight on the News
The blizzards of 1996 snarled traffic in Washington, closed area schools and presented Arlyce Robinson with two minivacations she didn't want. An office manager at Computer Sciences Corp., Robinson was among thousands of workers who couldn't make it to the office during the snowstorms. And because of federal labor laws enacted during the depths of the Great Depression, her bosses would have had to pay her overtime if she made up the hours in following weeks. Her choices: Give up two days' pay or burn 16 of the 120 hours of vacation she's allotted this year.
"I really think it's a question of dignity, of professionalism," Robinson says. "I'd never turn clown the opportunity to make more money, but I'd happily give up the money if it meant I had more flexibility setting my own schedule."
Robinson and her employer are hamstrung by the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, a centerpiece of New Deal labor legislation that enshrined the basic time unit of the American workplace: the 40-hour week. Now the act has come under attack as never before, with Republican majorities in Congress pushing a series of amendments. In addition, two well-financed business coalitions are arguing that the FLSA is inflexible, difficult to understand and even more difficult to comply with.
"Rules and regulations written to address the labor-force problems of 1938 become incredibly dysfunctional in the workplace of 1996," says Maggi Coil, director of compensation at Motorola Inc. and president of the American Compensation Association. The result has been a proliferation of informal agreements in offices and factories across the country, in which workers duck out for pressing personal errands while agreeing to make up time the following week - a direct violation of the law.
The law requires that employees covered by the act be paid time-and-a-half for each hour after 40. Employees such as Robinson cannot work 30 hours one week and 50 hours the next at regular pay, even if both the worker and the employer agreed.
Employers argue that rules particularly hurt female workers, who often need to juggle home and work responsibilities. One reform proposal, introduced by Rep. John Doolittle of California and Sen. John Ashcroft of Missouri, both Republicans, would allow employees to work up to 160 hours a month - rather than 40 a week - before the overtime clock starts ticking.
A second approach, contained in a bill drafted by Rep. Cass Ballenger of North Carolina, chairman of the House Economic and Educational Opportunities worker protections subcommittee, would allow private employers to offer compensatory time off in lieu of a cash overtime payment, up to 240 hours (30 working days) a year. Comp time typically is calculated at the time-and-a-half rate: A worker with six hours of overtime in the "bank" would be entitled to nine hours of paid time off at the regular rate of pay.
"We say the law needs tweaking, not a total overhaul,"argues Sandra Boyd, general counsel to the Flexible Employment Compensation and Scheduling Coalition, bankrolled by employer groups such as the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Retail Federation. "We want to see real flexibility made legal instead of being an under-the-table arrangement like it is in offices all across the country. …

After 40 years as a couple, Kermit and Miss Piggy called it quits Thursday, vowing the breakup won't affect their work – but could the frog's wandering eye have been the final straw?
By now, the last remaining thread of your childhood has likely been severed by the news that Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, of Muppets fame, have "terminated.

One of the First Raspberry Pi Computers Donated to Museum
One of the first 10 Raspberry Pi computers to be released has been purchased on Ebay and donated to The Centre for Computing History by an anonymous donor.
10 of the eagerly awaited $25 computers were listed on Ebay for auction and enthusiastic bidders around the world bid frantically for the rare opportunity to own one of these first production boards. The auction for board #7 ended on 8th January at a final bid of £989 which obviously included free delivery!
Jason Fitzpatrick, Director of the museum, said "We are really pleased and quite taken aback at this generous donation. We are extremely supportive of the Raspberry Pi project and feel that it could usher in a new era for computing, allowing potential programmers to 'get to the bits' and who knows, maybe create the next big thing!
We will be purchasing a number of the (somewhat cheaper) Raspberry Pi's to take out for school visits and help promote the programming in schools initiative – something we very strongly believe in."
The Raspberry Pi is a $25 ARM GNU/Linux box that has a myriad of uses but is generally aimed at the educational market to help bring programming back into the syllabus.

I was once the PR Representative for the Webzine but now have decided to focus my time on building Heathen Harvest into a new entity, focused as much on culture, literature and other artistic and social endeavors as it is music. Where most people specialize in listening to music from a specific genre in the post-industrial spectrum, my tastes include the entirety of it, from the most distasteful and political power electronics and noise to the most beautiful and delicate neoclassical. Trip hop to Death Industrial and Neofolk, I love it all. I am a heathen and I struggle with putting my political alignments into words as I learn and evolve as often as any healthy person should.

Most of my musical preferences revolve around extreme metal, harsh noise, singer-songwriters and most solemnly-sounding artists in general. I believe in passion and drive for any field of interest, and strive towards delivering nothing less for the ones I partake in and live for.

"The most appropriate type of daily life for me was a day-by-day world destruction; peace was the most difficult and abnormal state to live in."
A Scotsman, I came across Heathen Harvest just as I was preparing to finish university, whereupon it became a place of refuge from having to face a job market whose prospects for a student of the humanities can perhaps best be described as 'dystopian'. I was born on the 3rd of December 1990, which, in a cute bit of synchronicity, is a birthday I share with Ozzy Osbourne. To me, heavy metal is not music so much as an alternative to protein as nourishment. I'm a nerd who defies a few of the usual negative stereotypes about nerds and confirms most of the others. I believe criticism is only of value to a reader if one is able to gauge their own tastes against those of the critic, so with that in mind: my favourite album is "The Perfect Element, Pt. 1" by Pain of Salvation, my favourite movie is "Blade Runner", and my favourite novels are "Moby-Dick", Dan Simmons' "The Hyperion Cantos", and Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's "The Illuminatus! Trilogy".

I joined Heathen Harvest in the waning months of 2013, and haven't looked back since. While I usually stick to the metal end of the spectrum (particularly its extreme derivations) I've found myself nurturing an interest in styles I wouldn't have thought possible! From childhood onwards, I'd always had a noted interest in progressive rock, and it's thanks to that interest in forward-thinking music that I found myself getting into other genres later on– metal and jazz chief amongst them.
Though this musical upbringing of Yes and Rush inclined me towards listening to technically-based music for a good part of my life, the last few years have seen those walls crashing down. If I could think of any one thing in particular I'm generally looking for in music, it'd be atmosphere. I am equal parts awed and baffled by the way some music is able to evoke a very specific, powerful response in me. The darker variations of metal are particularly good for this, but I've heard albums across the board that bask in atmosphere. Miles Davis' In a Silent Way is an immense example for that, and one of a couple dozen albums I can safely say changed my life in some way.
Outside of music writing, I work as a freelance ghostwriter, and am (usually) diligent towards crafting music of my own. All of these things combine and compliment each other in some way. Writing about something I enjoy benefits more professional writing, and taking a critical ear to the way other people realize their art has vastly helped me figure out what I want to highlight in my own. Films, books and cats probably round out my other main interests. Cats tend to help with everything, and I'm glad I have them around to proofread my work, and piss on my keyboard if my syntax is ever wrong.

I'm a cyber-security student from Ohio. I enjoy collecting media (particularly old photos), consuming said media, and tinkering with electronics. I spend most of my time parsing online forums and sleeping. I feel horribly new to the experimental scene. My first contact with local DIYers was going to a 2011 harsh noise wall show without any prior knowledge of noise as an artform. My taste in music changes rather frequently. For now, I'm into black metal, harsh noise, hardcore, sludge, screamo, modern classical, antique folk, and jpop (whoops). I've recently been focusing on ambient, minimal techno and IDM. The handle Custom was developed after clicking random article on Wikipedia.
David Tonkin
When he's not wrangling sharks off the coast of South Australia, David wrangles his two beautiful children and the required equipment for various musical salvos: solo with heavy electronics and dark ambient project Isomer, dirty noise/power electronics unit Rope Society, and as a member of lounge industrial gadflies Bordel Militaire.
After getting into Metallica at age 13, things quickly went downhill for me. Now I write for Heathen Harvest along with the other outcasts. Expect audacious articles and a slightly worrying obsession with all things folk and black metal.
Edward Rinderle
At an early stage, I was drawn to the unconventional sound of 80s synthpop, but found it lacking an edge. My first contact with the electronic underground came with FLA's Tactical Neural Implant – an album that took me down a road I still travel. EBM was my first love, and from L.A.'s Das Bunker and Kontrol Faktory, I eventually found my way to the realms of dark ambient, ambient, drone, IDM, and related experimental electronic music. My journalism and broadcasting training gave me experience, and my desire to provide exposure for the music led me to begin writing reviews. My aim is to provide objective information about each release, while doing my best to explain why I think it works….or doesn't, as the case may be.

HD Atkinson lives in Western Canada, where he divides his time between work, writing, playing death metal and drinking with his roommates.
J. M. Da Silva
J.M. Da Silva first stared into the sun in Uppsala, Sweden and has since lived in Brazil, Chile, Argentina,Hawaii and New York. His introduction to music and underground culture began at age 15 with hardcore/punk, straight edge, and anarchist politics. He currently runs Fabrica Records, an independent experimental record label, and records/performs as Luciernaga. He currently calls the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY: "home".
Jacob DeRaadt
Raised in the forests of Alaska, pretending to be a British Commando storming bunkers in World War 2(which were just dilapidated chicken coops), I developed an avid imagination coupled with a sense of awe for the splendor of nature around me. Early influences on my adult life included Dada, punk/hardcore, radical(?) politics, and Constructivism. My life was forever altered after hearing seminal records by Can, Faust, and Nurse With Wound in my early twenties as well as the cut-up methods of Gysin/Burroughs.
These days, I find myself immersed in an endless fascination with the overlaps and contradictions of my Christian upbringing, Vedic sciences, and European tribal spiritual tradition simmering in the stew of confusion that is the Kali Yuga. My interests include printmaking, collage, mythology, bicycling, music concrete and obsession with the cassette fetish object beloved of the industrial noise underground.
I run Basement Tapes, a small-run cassette label focused on experimental/industrial/outsider pop/music concrete since 2005. I also record and perform as Sterile Garden. I recently moved to Portland, Maine from the desert hell-hole of Denver.
Jael Edwards
Jael Edwards is a musician and writer based in Melbourne, Australia. Active in the Antipodean underground since the late 90's, he is the vocalist of Australian Death metal act Ignivomous, as well as recording and performing ambient/industrial music as Nothinghunger. His main areas of musical interest are in Black and Death Metal, Martial industrial, neofolk and post-industrial. Outside of music, he is passionately interested in History, philosophy and esoteric subject matter from across the political, religious and social spectrum.
Jonathan R.
Jonathan R. lives in a little town close to the beautiful mountains and woodlands. He devotes most of his time to the study of various philosophical and spiritual topics (mysticism, heathen beliefs, modern vs. traditional societies, philosophy of life, sociological questions, et cetera). When books do not cover his desk, he is listening to dark and sinister music – most of the time black metal. Apart from a love for music in general, Jonathan R. is especially interested in bands which focus on spiritual and esoteric concepts. He believes that such art in general (and music in particular) is an expression of a resacralization which is currently taking place in the Western world. Besides writing for Heathen Harvest, he is also an editor for various German metal-zines (print and online).
K. Holewczynski
Starting in 1979 with a newly found interest in electronic music and quite a few subsequent trips to the legendary epicenter of US industrial, Wax Trax! Records in Chicago, I've been pursuing electronic, gothic, industrial, ambient and hosts of other post-new wave styled music for as long as I care to remember. Inspired in that time, I jumped into electronic music, buying gear and running the microlabel Arts Industria for nearly 10 years, along the way publishing an industrial music zine called Arc and releasing various CD compilations of underground industrial bands. Wax Trax! introduced me to Laibach and NSK, which I have actively followed since around 1986, proudly owning an NSK Passport and having my art accepted at the First Citizen's Congress in 2010.
In the late 1990's I stopped composing and dropped out of the scene. Since then, I have regrouped with my project Epoch revisiting old friendships and starting new ones. While I still appreciate the roots that the Wax Trax! era gave me, I'm currently planted in the martial genre, whether it's neoclassical or industrialized. However, if you call me an old rivet-head, I won't be offended.
Kate MacDonald
An enthusiast of difficult music since the time of the wax cylinder, Kate has long been an emissary for power electronics, industrial, dark ambient, noise, cold wave and other things that go bump in the night. She has worked as a DJ at various venues for over twenty years and was a radio host on two different stations from 1991 to 2002. She is also an award winning fiction author and screenwriter . She also finds time to maintain a blog covering many subjects, because she is a verbose and opinionated little wench.
Kathleen Chausse
Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Kathleen Chausse has written for Connexion Bizarre and I Die You Die, and has been spotted across North America for various shows & music festivals. She has even gone as far as organizing a festival. She has been known to dip her toes as a dj at various venues. Will talk your ear off about Coil if given the chance & translates the lyrics of songs into French for her own amusement.

I know what your thinking when you look at my photo. I'm flattered but no, I'm not the vice-dean of engineering at the University of South Australia.
Sir Thomas Beecham is once alleged to have said, 'try everything once, except incest and Morris dancing'. I decided to become a Heathen to disassociate myself with Adam and Eve to avoid the incest aspect. I then tried Morris dancing and got a dancer tattooed on my chest to show allegiance to it. I will probably quote more of Sir Thomas in my next review. I stand for everything he says.
I write with bells on and off. I try and use the words 'apropos' and 'aforementioned' as often as possible. Consider your art treasured if this is achieved.
I want to visit Finland and England. For every 'like' my reviews get, I will get no closer to this. My wife let me go to the UK, but I bought an army jeep instead. I drive it every other weekend to buy meat and beer.

He is a reclusive troglodyte who spends almost every spare moment creating unpopular music in a variety of guises ('GRIST', 'The Horn', 'HAARK', etc), with the remaining few moments spent parenting, and trying to be a decent person. His musical tastes range subjectively across all spectra, from drone noise to abstract metal to Turkish hiphop to ultraminimalism to outsider pop to glitch electronica to blackened field recordings to novelty songs about chickens – and everything in between.
Matthew Carey
I live in a smallish town in Oregon, where I work as a cook. I also write fiction, grow plants and watch a lot of old movies. When I write a piece of criticism, I try to be serious about it. I think that, with luck and some skill, criticism can rise to the level of an art form, giving new dimensions to the thing under critique and pointing out strains in human culture that would have otherwise gone unseen. Whether I can personally manage to write criticism at that level is not for me to say. I can only be aware that there are always greater heights and that it is valuable to strive for them.
Matt Leivers
I can remember a day when I was nine, sitting on the floor in my parent's lounge, listening to a taped copy (in those days before cd's and digital music, when Tim Berners-Lee was only dreaming of the world wide web, still the primary evil that was killing music) of Abbey Road on my sister's cassette player. I had just discovered that John, Paul, George and Ringo weren't just The Beatles, but that each of them played something. Before that, music was just music, a sound that came from everywhere and no place. The discovery that McCartney played the bass, that Harrison was a guitarist, that this sound that I was hearing consisted of many sounds made by individual people, changed the way I heard music forever, diminished it, turned it from the sound of the universe into a series of little atomised things stacked one on the other.
These days I play, run a little record label and listen to ambient, drone, experimental, folk, jazz, noise, rock, metal, kosmische, liturgical and orchestral music. Most of what I play, release and listen to is an attempt to find music that sounds like music sounded before I knew what John, Paul, George and Ringo did.

Nicola Vinciguerra
I love harsh noise. I like power electronics. And metal. And 60s french girl pop. And cunt. And lots of other stuff. I'm a visual artist and I've been playing noise for quite a few years now. I'm Italian but I live on a dick-shaped thing in the middle of a fjord.
Paul Robertson
I know not where I was born, save that the castle was infinitely old and infinitely horrible, full of dark passages and having high ceilings where the eye could find only cobwebs and shadows. The stones in the crumbling corridors seemed always hideously damp, and there was an accursed smell everywhere, as of the piled-up corpses of dead generations. It was never light, so that I used sometimes to light candles and gaze steadily at them for relief, nor was there any sun outdoors, since the terrible trees grew high above the topmost accessible tower. There was one black tower which reached above the trees into the unknown outer sky, but that was partly ruined and could not be ascended save by a well-nigh impossible climb up the sheer wall, stone by stone. I like Adventure Time, 'orrible, uncomfortable sounds, cake and otters.
I'm a shitkicker and a thief, and I want to be famous.
Patrick Bertlein
I do not know why I am here, nor is this of any concern. I am simply here, and being here I shall be here, not else where, for that would not be where I am at. Where I am at leads I to many paths, and I will walk those paths as long as they are necessary. I am merely I, which is both a grandiose concept and an inconsequential myopic voice in this vast abyss. I accept this paradox.
Rebecca C. Brooks
A Tennessean by way of Indiana, by way of Maryland, I have been writing since I was young, and listening to experimental music for nearly as long. Until fairly recently, it never occurred to me to combine the two. I have an academic background in anthropology, with a focus on Slavic, Mongolian, and indigenous Siberian cultural traditions, but gave up on an opulent life in academia so I could listen to power electronics and write bad novels. I should probably be putting more time and effort into my solo and collaborative musical projects, but for now I spend a lot of time listening to foreign radio broadcasts while I stare blankly into space, and way too much time thinking about history, tradition, religion, and Arctic exploration.
"Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it" —Epictetus
Scott Ross
Music is the universal language. And if we use it to say dark things, well, that's simply because the world is a dark place. Personally, I can never decide whether I want to be a magical elf communing with the spirits deep in the primordial forests or a trenchcoat-bedecked private eye chain-smoking his way through a permanently rainy megatropolis. Use those two experiences as the poles and you'll probably be able to encompass the world of music that I enjoy. From black metal to jazz to electronica back to folk, I listen to enough music that I become overwhelmed, and yet I can never get enough. Blessed with synesthesia and a gift with words, all I really want is to share this music with others. Let's sit down and listen, and forgot, if just for a moment, that the world is dying around us.
Simon Gould
Living in Bristol in UK, Simon has been seeking out the most challenging and unnerving music he can since he was fifteen, when his schoolmates had to endure Neubauten's 'Feurio!' on the common room CD player most lunchtimes. Weaned on early industrial from TG onwards, he's since expanded into obsessively researching and gobbling up every nasty little dark sub-genre his paycheck will allow him to in the quest to find the precipice of wrongness. Currently trying to fill in the gaps in his C93 collection and feed himself (no mean feat), Simon also teaches English and Ancient Greek Literature at a school in Bristol. Fresh harsh music is a necessity to get through the early morning/evening marking sessions.
Simon Mernagh
Simon Mernagh is an audiophile and heathen currently residing in peaceful Belfast, Northern Ireland. Having written in a journalistic capacity on culture and society over the years, his passion for dark, heavy music has finally consumed his writing habits. Other than matters musical, Simon enjoys prancing about forests, tweeting (@simonmernagh), and reading weird fiction, which he is now researching at postgraduate level. His goth rock demo, over which he rips off Carl McCoy's baritone with merciless precision, is due to drop any day now.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Mississippi's Donte Moncrief has most of the attributes expected of an elite receiver, including a 6-foot-3, 226-pound frame, breakaway speed and a pair of hands that rarely lets him down when catching the football.
About the only thing missing is the ego.
So when Moncrief's season started slowly, the soft-spoken junior didn't complain. He knew quarterback Bo Wallace would find him.
Moncrief's time has come.
He had 149 yards receiving and a touchdown on Saturday as Ole Miss beat Arkansas 34-24. It's the third time in five games he's had at least 100 yards receiving.
Moncrief says the emergence of the team's other receivers -- including Laquon Treadwell and senior Ja-Mes Logan -- has forced opponents to use more single coverage against him.
Mississippi plays Troy on Saturday.

Delay, Delay, Delay
The lawless tweaking of Obamacare's provisions continues.
Mar 17, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 26 • By JAY COST
Second, it facilitated the rise of the national parties. Previously, party coalitions had been state-based or regional; however, competing for the presidency is a nationwide effort, which requires a nationwide organization. Nothing has done more to degrade the logic of Federalist 51. Under Madison's theory, members of Congress should resist encroachments from the executive branch because they are institutional rivals. But, in the party system, the president has a partisan alliance with (roughly) half of the legislature. Moreover, the alliance is unequal, as the political survival of congressmen depends much more on the president than the president's survival depends on them. This makes it difficult for Congress to assert its institutional prerogatives in the face of executive overreach.
Thus, presidents have a ready-made excuse for ignoring the law ("I speak for the people!"), and they can usually count on Congress to do nothing to stop them. Little wonder that presidents have been disposed to color outside the lines. Little wonder as well that Obama's approach to the Affordable Care Act—princeps legibus solutus est—has been met only by impotent protests from his opponents. There is little to do but wait him out.
Conservatives can meanwhile take grim satisfaction that the Obamacare delays are clearly coming from a position of weakness, not of strength. Obamacare is a vast system of penalties and rewards designed to reshape the American health care system. The only way it can possibly sustain itself is if certain groups are made worse off, while others are made better off. Yet the administration has thus far systematically refused to allow the law to harm any politically powerful bloc. This may make for good short-term politics, but it is terrible for the law's sustainability.
Broadly speaking, all of those who were supposed to be harmed by Obamacare were paying an indirect tax that Obama and his congressional allies did not want to impose directly. Granting group after group waiver after waiver inoculates them from the "taxes" they were set to pay, but those costs will have to be borne somehow, either in reduced benefits for the law's winners or (more likely) greater withdrawals from the Treasury.
Of course, while the voters frequently complain about runaway federal spending, they are often averse to doing anything about it. But with Obamacare, there is a twist, for the federal government has more or less become responsible for maintaining the profit margins of the health insurance industry. This sort of deficit spending will not be politically sustainable. The country has been known to tolerate government support of business bottom lines, but never to this extent, and never for an industry that is so massively unpopular (in no small part because of the demagoguery of Obama and his minions).
This suggests one of two outcomes. Either the administration will start deploying Obamacare's "sticks" and not just its "carrots," forcing people to pay those implicit taxes, or the law's opponents will gain a decisive advantage in the court of public opinion as Uncle Sam becomes the backstop for the shareholders of WellPoint, Aetna, et al. Sooner or later, the law will be either obeyed or rewritten.
Ultimately, Obama's problem here is that he is in the minority on the issue of Obamacare, although like a good Jacksonian "sovereign," he is convinced that his crude political interests are necessarily those of the people at large. But because Obamacare is so unpopular, his maneuverings will prove in the end a relatively minor abuse of the rule of law. As Madison writes in Federalist 10 about the dangers of minority factions:
Sooner or later, this clogging of the administrative levers of government will come to a conclusion. Either the administration will execute this law in a way that makes it broadly popular, or it will be substantially reformed, if not repealed altogether. In the meantime, we just have to remember that Madison's "republican principle" is realized at the ballot box. The ultimate way to address the abuses of the Obama administration is to make the case, patiently and carefully, with the American people, and allow them to rebuke him at the ballot box in November.

Friday June 4, 1999
Director Robert Meyer Burnett and his co-writer Mark A. Altman breathe new life into the Hollywood-set romantic comedy genre with their funny, sharp and engaging "Free Enterprise," their debut feature; Regent Entertainment has selected it as its second film following its smash debut with "Gods and Monsters."
We at first think we've met their heroes before in many other movies, but they quickly prove to be idiosyncratic. Rafer Weigel's Robert and Eric McCormack's Mark, two super-bright, fiercely articulate industry wannabes, are about to hit 30. They are confronted with the inescapable fact that they're not where they had hoped to be in life.
While Robert is doing well enough financially as a writer of schlock horror pictures, he has cut himself off emotionally, interested only in shallow bimbo types. A film editor, Mark is a spendthrift romantic, always getting hurt. They both need badly to grow up, as many young American males do.
Mark spends most of what he makes on "Star Trek" collectibles and other movie-related memorabilia, videos and laser discs. Friends since childhood, Robert and Mark are serious Trekkers and cineastes extraordinaire. They can't conduct a conversation that's not loaded with movie references. Mark is beginning to wish that he could meet a woman who shares his passions instead of being told that being a Trekker is a "guy thing."
(You don't have to be a Trekker to enjoy this picture, but it couldn't hurt, just as familiarity with a slew of other pictures the guys revere, such as "Logan's Run," helps.)
Just as Mark meets Claire (Audie England), who could just be Ms. Right, he and Robert encounter their idol William Shatner at NoHo's Iliad Bookstore. They strike up an acquaintance with the actor, who tells him that he too is getting over a broken romance and like them wants to get his own project off the ground: a self-admitted "height of hubris" dream of turning "Julius Caesar" into a musical in which he would play all the roles except Calpurnia. (Shatner's thinking Sharon Stone, Heather Locklear or Julia Roberts for that part.)
Romance overtakes Mark and Claire, who is grounded enough to question the wisdom of Mark investing in a special edition laser disc of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" when he's unable to pay for the electricity he obviously will need to enjoy it. But "Free Enterprise" will ultimately emerge as a celebration of risk-taking in the spirit of the heroism of Captain Kirk.
"Free Enterprise" is in fact a most affectionate homage to Shatner, who plays himself, though not his actual self. ("Free Enterprise" was shown at the Cannes Film Festival and Shatner showed up for some amusing promotional events.) The film respects Shatner's dignity and his status as an icon of popular culture but without stiff reverence or demeaning spoofery.
Burnett and Altman allow Shatner to suggest that he and Captain Kirk are not in fact one and the same, and that he's a man who may have more in common with Robert and Mark than they realize. In one of his most telling moments, he points out to Robert and Mark that they've programmed their lives to a 30-year-old TV show, adding gently that they might well consider adding "a little reality to their imaginations."
Burnett is a fine director of actors, and "Free Enterprise" is polished in all aspects. Weigel and McCormack (of TV's "Will and Grace") both make a strong impression, as does the supporting cast, which includes elegant Deborah Van Valkenberg, who understandably catches Shatner's eye.
Where "Free Enterprise" really scores is in its dialogue; Burnett and Altman's throwaway lines alone would brighten up 20 other modestly budgeted movies aimed at 30-something audiences.
Free Enterprise, 1999. R for sexuality and language. A Regent Enterprise presentation of a Mindfire Entertainment production in association with Triad Studios. Director-editor Robert Meyer Burnett. Producers Dan Bates, Mark Altman & Allan Kaufman. Executive producers Mark and Ellie Gottwald. Screenplay Mark A. Altman & Robert Meyer Bennett. Cinematographer Charles L. Barbee. Music Scott Spock. Costumes Ann Lambert. Production designer Cynthia Halligan. Running time: 1 hour, 48 minutes. Rafer Weigel as Robert. Eric McCormack as Mark. William Shatner as Bill. Audie England as Claire.

Why do you think that when people have no material problems, they tend to produce their own psychological problems?
Apparently human beings just cannot live without problems!
I read last night that people who are materialistic do so to compensate for not having any meaning to their lives. So people who are not materialistic question the meaning in their lives into deeper depth and struggle with that. There is nothing worse then living an existence without meaning. A good example of that is the prisoners at concentration camps. The ones who felt life had no meaning and were materialistic turned into pychological zombie's by emotionally shutting down. So that proves that materialistic people can have psychological problems too.
maybe if you don't have something to fix about yourself, you don't feel the need to keep going. maybe we invent it because we need struggle and hurdles in our lives to feel acc amplished.
attention or guilt ?
Donald Trump must be ready for a straight jacket!

To keep occupied. With no sad there is no happy.
