Can it be really harder?fearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Hearts of iron 3 - PC
Yes. HoI3 is greater, more complex and harder than absolutely amazing second part of series. It brings tons of new opportunites to survive in second World War. But don't be so scared. There is new system, that will help new players with this complicated world of great politics. Now you can give to AI control of all major parts of game and focus on the battles. But is HoI3 better than second one? In my opinion no - but its still great game.
Geat gamefearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Europa Universalis II - PC
Europa Universalis 2 is classic game. The real mother for all latest Paradox products. It's giant, it has lot of historical events, it's complex and it's still living. Even now - when there is sequel and lot of spin-offs, EU2 has giant army of fans. EU has lot of modification, addons and tons of addicting gameplay that will prove you, that this is the diamond you must have in your collection.
Hacker simulationfearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Uplink - PC
Have you ever wanted to be a hacker, like in movies? Uplink gives you a great opportunity to that! Maybe you won't break into Pentagon, after playing this game, but still is very interesting and fun-giving product, that'll give you a taste of stereotypical movie hacker. Good choice if you like original ideas.
When we wan't to restfearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Sniper Ghost Warrior - PC
Sniper is great potion for all new FPS games like Call of Duty, where're lots of explosions and stupid actions. Sniper is quite, slow and very nice. Killing silently never been so much fun. Also multiplayer is a new experience. Now all players are this hated snipers. Good, solid game. Worth buying.
Preview of Silent Assassinfearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Hitman Codename 47 - PC
Codename 47 - the first one of HItman series gives us hard action game, where shooting isn't a priority. In the first adventure we don't have so big non linear action. Even more - Codename 47 has one solution for each mission. But is this a disadvantage? Maybe nor - if we like shooting, we can do that without any penalties in game grade system. Best choice to start with Hitman series.
Revolution?fearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Tom Clancys Splinter Cell Double Agent - PC
New look to Splinter Cell series. Was it necessary? I don't think so. Double Agent is forced revolution, that made from deep and rewarding gameplay just another action game with stealth elements. This game looks like poor copy of previous parts of series. Even Sam Fisher looks like low-budged clone of himself. Only for blind Spliter Cell fans.
Stealth thrillerfearon | April 11, 2011 | Review of Splinter Cell - PC
He comes from shadows and kills silently. Sam Fisher - secret agent, solution to hard and comlicatied situations. Splinter Cell is brilliant stealth game. In this game shooting is boring - the main fun is when we avoid detection. Deep game system, interesting scenario with charismatic protagonist and lot of clever fun. Must have!
For freedom!fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Mount Blade Warband - PC
I've always wanted to be a knight. Have sword, horse and band of companions, who will die for me in the battle. In real life it is impossible, so i've looked for a game, that will bring my dream to reality. Only the Mount & Blade managed to complete this task. Really - there isn't more fun, than ride on a front of your army and smash enemies. In this game you can do it. Now you can fight epic battles with friends like in history movies. But of course Warband is better than movies. This time you're a hero!
Kill'em all!fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Alien Shooter - PC
Fine relaxator. Bad mood? Put your brain in the closet and try Alien Shooter. You'll stand alone and fight with hordes of brainless aliens. And you'll have a good fun. Only if you didn't except more. Alien Shooter is the best title for such game. You shoot to aliens. Nothing more. Oh... Yes... There are small rpg features of course.
Fabulous ending of Hitman sagafearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Hitman Blood Money - PC
What is Blood Money? It's everything, that was good in Silent Assassin and much more. I have problem, when I must to decide which part of the series is better. When sentiment decide, I choose second one, when everything else is in mind - Blood Money is better one. I think, it's the best recomendation, but when you're still unconvinced, I must add, that ending of this game is simply awesome. Really - you should play this game only for last minutes. You won't regret.
Deus Ex Actionfearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Project Snowblind - PC
Project Snowblind is fast, interesting and full of action. If you're bored another modern war shooter, you should try this game. This cyperpunk FPS gives you lot of fun and scenes, that you'll never forget. Yes - when you compare it with Call of Duty or another new FPS, you'll see, that Project Snowblind has old-type gameplay. But is this matter, when game is so good?
Have fun with destroing entire world!fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Defcon Everybody Dies - PC
Defcon is strange game. Funny and scary. Funny - because this little strategy game brings you a lot of easy to learn gameplay and hours of matches with other players. Defcon is best in multiplayer. You can play with AI, but treat it like a practice before the real game. Game rules are easy, but before you'll begin beating armies of enemies, you'll spend lot of time practicing. And you'll have fun all the time. This little game is very addcicting. So why Defcon is scary? Because killing entire continent never was so fun.
Broken Sword 3(D)fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Broken Sword 3 The Sleeping Dragon - PC
Third part of Broken Sword story brings series into third dimnesion. But this isn't only new feature in this game. We can find stealth missions (very annoing stealth missions), lot of jumping (like in action adventure games) and main atraction - logical puzzles with boxes! Yes! Broken Sword 3 is game about moving boxes from place to place. You can find more traditional clues, but still box-gamplay is dominating. Don't be so dissapointed - it's good game with interesing plot, but better for series would be staing in 2D.
Wait for sequelfearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Assassins Creed - PC
What is Assassin's Creed? It's a game about wasted potential. You have fascinating historical era, amazing cities and professional killer. Good recipe for hit? Yes, but producents of Assassin's Creed failed even when they had good idea for game. Still you can have fun with Altair - the main protagonist - but this game is best for 30 minutes sessions, not more. Sequel is better choice.
Harder than everfearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Commandos Beyond the Call of Duty - PC
Addon to first Commandos brings new missions and new challenges. More, better, harder. This game is only for Commandos veterans, who think, that there is no goal, that they can't achieve. Now they'll beg for mercy. This game is very difficult and you must have this in mind, when you'll decide to buy it.
Born of great seriesfearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Commandos Behind Enemy Lines - PC
Is worth buying first part of Commandos series, when we can buy amazing sequel? Yes. This game still offers lot of fun and complicated tasks, often more difficult than in second part of Commandos. Mayby graphic isn't so good now and characters can't do as much as in later games, but if you want to spend very long time with brain-challenged taks.
Sneaking with explosions?fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Commandos 3 Destination Berlin - PC
Commandos 3 is different than past games. Party is smaller, maps are smaller and game is faster. You also wouldn't find any secret missions. What is Commandos 3? It's a combination of action and sneaking. Now you must think fast and run your party throught explosions in the first line. Is this a better concept? I don't think so, but still it is a quite good game.
Behind enemy lines. Again...fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Commandos 2 Men of Courage - PC
Commandos 2 is what we can call a perfect sequel. It turns tactical sneaking on brand new level and gives an opportunity to acomplished goals in lots of ways! You'll challange lot of mission, each one unique and with personal atmosphere. You'll find enormous references to the classic war movies, such as Bridge on the River Kwaii. But it's not everything. You can unlock bonus missions, each for one normal. If you ever wanted to command you're own deadly dozen, Commandos 2 is the best choice.
All roads lead to Romefearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Europa Universalis Rome Gold - PC
I played all Europa Universalis games and always wanted to see one part of series in the ages of Roman Empire. When I had an oportunity, I quickly felt in love with this game. It has all features, that made EU series so popular and gives new and so fascinating historical era. Now all of us can make from the republic geat empire and call himself ceasar. But if you choose staing in the republic, you'll challenge senate with each character named and with personality. Political games never was so fascinating.
Sequel is always worse than originalfearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Mafia II - PC
Godfather 2 is better than first one. What about sequel of Mafia? It's sad, but this game isn't as perfect as it's older brother. But still is a good story about crime families in the past USA. Memorable characters, beautiful city, great soundtrack and lot of shooting. Is there more things, that we can want? Maybe better ending. Mafia 2 ends sudenlly, leaving dissapointed gamer alone with credits. It could be a good sequel, but somebody failed the task.
Classic!fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition - PC
If want to make a list of best games of the all time, you must put on it Deus Ex. It's a cyberpunk thriller with really complicated and fascinating plot. The gamplay is very non linear - if you want to be a stealth and quiet agent, you can do it. If you prefer action and explosions, there is a way for you. Hacking? Yes, you can be a hacker! This is the game, that you'll never forget. Facinating adventure in dark and pessimistic future.
Just another action gamefearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Dark Sector - PC
I didn't excepted much form this game. You can look on few screenshots and you know everything. It's another cheap action game, low-budged clone of Gears of war. But is it a crap? Absolutely not! It's only a quite good game, without any original concept. Yes - there is a throwing blade, but it can't offer much more fun. If you desperately look for a action game, you can play Dark Sector.
It's a kind of magic!fearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of Trine - PC
When I first saw Trine, I thought that it will be a typical platformer with fairly atmosphere. But this game offers much more! Phisical riddles, difficult fights and fantastic acrobations. One for each character: mage, knight and thief. If you're looking for a game with fantastic atmosphere, difficult challenges and lot of humor, you must choose Trine. This will be a choice, you won't regret.
King of indie gamesfearon | April 8, 2011 | Review of World of Goo - PC
You can find great number of indie games, but only one is masterpiece - World of Goo. Funny, clever and addictive. And this soundtrack! This game sounds absolutely perfect! But great atmosphere isn't the only thing, that makes good game. In your journey with little Goos you'll challenge a lot of amazing levels - every one unique. Must have!
Deeper than 3Dfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Europa Universalis III Complete - PC
Europa Universalis is back with new, 3D engine. New map and new graphics comes with new interface. Very good and easy to learn interface. But is the game easier? Absolutely not! This is still EU, whit all complicated features, that everybody loved in recent games. Conquering the world never been so satisfactory.
Perfect endingfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Thief deadly Shadows - PC
Deadly Shadows is final part of Thief trilogy. Mayby it's not as good as Metal Age or Dark Project, but it still has features, that has made this series so popular. Dark atmosphere, main character and this specific fealing of beeing real thief. Good ending of brilliant series.
The best part of Hitmans historyfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Hitman 2 Silent Assassin - PC
Silent Assassin has everything, that can be told about a perfect game. Good storyline, charismatic protagonist, non linear action, phenomenal music and beautiful graphics. In this game you can be brainless killer, who makes lot of noise or real silent assassin - choice is yours. My personal best.
Real combination of RPG and RTSfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Spellforce 2 Gold Edition - PC
Spellforce 2 is brilliant game for any cRPG and strategy fan. This isn't a RTS with roleplay elements or RPG with strategy battles. It's both. And any aspect of this combination is really expanded. You can have a big fortest, giant mass of loot and good character progress. In other way - there're three races, like in any good RTS. Also - game is very long, so you can enjoy it for very long time.
Painkiller - no brain, no pain!fearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Painkiller Black Edition - PC
This is what we call fun - without any stupid quick time events or silent sniper missions like in Call of Duty series. Only one protagonist and hordes of bloodthristy monsters to kill. This and crazy, dark atmosphere makes this game fantastic choice to relax.
Intrigue on the mapfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Crusader Kings Complete - PC
Have you ever wanted to be a great noble - live in luxury, have few bastards and make couple of intrigues? If you say 'yes' you must try Crusarder Kings. This game shows king live much better than any movie, game or book, and use for it only a typical for Paradox games map! Once you entered this world of conspiracy and intrigues, you won't stop playing your own game of thrones for a long time.
New herofearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Kings Bounty The Legend - PC
Kings Bounty is a remake of classic game - inspiration for Heroes series. Whit such roots comes great responsibility, but creators of KB don't dissapoint. Even more - this game is simply better and more addictive than famous Heroes series. If you want a RPG with lot of tactical fights, you must choose Kings Bounty
A real Godfather adaptationfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Mafia - PC
If you expect from games deep and exciting story, you must choose Mafia. History of a man, who has been involved into crime family is much more better than gameplay. But when you play Mafia, you don't watch a movie - there' s a lot of unique missions and living city, that you never forget for a long time. Story, level design and great atmosphere of Chicago '30. That is Mafia.
As hard as plainfearon | April 7, 2011 | Review of Hearts of Iron 2 - PC
Hearts of Iron II is one of the most intuicional games from Paradox. With plain interface goes a lot of fun and high strategy level. Like a typical Paradox game, HoI2 has giant campaings, including years before and after second World War. You can find also lots of scenarios, so you can play small games, that can easily relax in a brake from the complicated plans of domination. Summarazing - Hearts of Iron II is the best choice, if you want to test your strategy skills and have a lot of fun with it.

Democratic Forest Trusts (PDF)in Watson, Alan; Dean, Liese; Sproull, Janet, comps. 2006. Science and stewardship to protect and sustain wilderness values: Eighth World Wilderness Congress Symposium; 2005 September 30-October 6; Anchorage, AK.Democratic trusts with leadership elected by citizen-members promise to solve many of the problems afflicting both traditional government and corporate ownership of forestlands. This article explores these issues in some depth.Complexity and the Dream of Human Control of Eco-Systems (PDF)in Watson, Alan; Dean, Liese; Sproull, Janet, comps. 2006. Science and stewardship to protect and sustain wilderness values: Eighth World Wilderness Congress Symposium; 2005 September 30-October 6; Anchorage, AK.The title captures it. I then explore the kinds of institutions compatible with both nature and the modern world that are implied from this analysis.Rethinking the Obvious: Modernity and Living Respectfully With Nature (PDF)The Trumpeter: Journal of Ecosophy, Winter, 1997.Modernity is usually considered a wrong turn in terms of respect for and sustaining the environment. I argue the reality is more complex, for modernity has freed us from personal dependence on agriculture, ended the economic value of children, radically reduced the likelihood of large scale wat, and shifted much production to intellectual rather than material capital. This partially decouples society from nature, which gives us important opportunities as well as problems.Towards an Ecocentric Political Economy (PDF)The Trumpeter, Fall, 1996.This paper begins my effort at showing how liberal modernity can be harmonized with an ecocentric perspective on our relationship with the natural world. It is a corrective to much "free market environmental" literature that sacrifices Nature to money as well as to anti-liberal attacks by well-meaning but economically naïve environmentalists.Unexpected Harmonies: Self-Organization in Liberal Modernity and Ecology (PDF)The Trumpeter, Journal of Ecosophy, 10:1, Winter 1993This is my initial paper exploring how what I term 'evolutionary liberal' thought can be an important means by which society and nature can be brought into greater harmony. The other Trumpeter papers build on it.Deep Ecology and Liberalism: The Greener Implications of Evolutionary Liberalism (PDF)Review of Politics, Fall, 1996.Liberal thought and deep ecology are usually regarded as mutually exclusive. But the "evolutionary" tradition offers a way to integrate the two through commonalties in the work of David Hume, Michael Polanyi, Arne Naess, and Aldo Leopold, providing a stronger foundation for liberalism while strengthening the case for an ecocentric ethic.(Related subjects: Ecology)Saving Western Towns: A Jeffersonian Green Proposal (PDF)in Writers on the Range, Karl Hess and John Baden, eds., University Press of Colorado, 1998.Developmental pressures in the rural and small town West involve three groups: long term residents, new arrivals, and environmentalists. Today their interests often conflict. This conflict is in part the outcome of institutions which prevent harmonizing competing interests. The concept of developmental trusts, both for rural regions and for small communities offers a means whereby these interests can be harmonized for the benefit of all concerned.(Related subjects: Politics)Social Ecology, Deep Ecology, and Liberalism (PDF)Critical Review, 6: 2-3, 1992.Murray Bookchin is considered a leading radical environmental theorist. However, his analysis is incapable of leading humankind towards a more respectful and sustainable relationship with the natural world. Criticisms of Bookchin from both the deep ecology and evolutionary liberal perspective complement one another, pointing the way towards a better understanding of how modernity relates to the environment.The paper as a whole offers an early discussion of issues that are more clearly addressed in later papers, particularly Deep Ecology and Liberalism (1996) and the three Trumpeter articles in 1997, 1996, and 1993. However, there are other ideas in the article which have not been developed more thoroughly elsewhere.
Wiccans along with most other
NeoPagans celebrate the sacredness of all natural cycles. These cycles are particularly clear
within regions with four distinct seasons, and I think it is natural that we,
whose origins most recently hail from the British Isles, emphasize the ever
changing and eternal seasons to concretely symbolize the most basic of these
cycles. We have eight Sabbats,
four synchronized with the solar cycle of Solstices and Equinoxes, and four
linked to the old Celtic agricultural cycle. These last four are generally the more important, I think
because the cycles of birth, life, and death are at their most concrete.
Of these four days, two are
particularly important: Beltane and Samhain. Samhain honors the powers of
death, as Beltane honors those of life.
For these are the two biggest themes in all embodied existence. Without life, the rest of embodiment is
irrelevant, and everything that lives also dies. As one joker told me, "Life is a sexually transmitted
terminal condition."
And that is why Beltane, which
most unreservedly and exuberantly focuses on life, also most unreservedly and
exuberantly focuses on sexuality.
In most of the temperate world
Spring is far along by now. In
most places Beltane fittingly marks Spring's transition to summer. The sexual energy of spring is flowing
into the generative abundance of summer.
I think of Beltane as a celebration of beauty and delight for its own
Flowers, the sexual organs of
plants, are blooming abundantly, soon to set seeds. Birds are building their nests. Throughout the world the energies of reproduction, of
sexuality, are at their most visible.
It is through sex that we come into physical existence, and sexuality
enables us to connect most intimately with the powers of life and with one
another. It inspires the greatest
beauty in the biological world, from flowers to plumage to the celebration of
beauty among us two leggeds. The custom of having a May Queen is an
acknowledgement of this, and it is fitting that it emphasizes physical beauty
and vitality. (There are other Sabbats where we celebrate balance, wisdom, and
the other forms beauty can take.)
Beltane begins at sundown, April
30, and extends until sundown May 1.
Those fortunate enough to be able to meet outside in the country will
often have bonfires on the 30th, which young couples can jump
through, celebrating their hopes for love and perhaps fertility. That night, weather permitting, many
will sleep outside, and fertility will have another chance to manifest. In this
day and age many of us honor fertility in all its forms, there now being quite
enough of the human kind.
Covens will meet with friends to
celebrate the time, often with small fires safe for a living room as a symbol
and reminder of the big ones we'd like to have. Often our rituals will honor the symbolic wedding of the
Goddess and the God, or the revival of the Oak King, to reside until
Samhain. The rituals will often be
followed by a feast.
Before dawn many of us will be up,
myself among them, to watch and applaud Morris Dancers who
symbolically dance up the summer sun.
The first time I experienced this wonderful ritual there seemed
something deeply primordial and right about it. A couple hundred of us had arisen long before dawn to be at
Inspiration Point in Berkeley. Today, many years later, Morris Dancers are far more widespread
than they were over 20 years ago, and these dawn celebrations are far more
common. Here in Sonoma County,
Sebastopol's Apple Tree Morris Dancers now perform the same ritual. They
are very good, but this year I'll be down south with old friends.
Those of us who are hard core even
come out in the pouring rain. I
will never forget one May morning, joining perhaps a hundred other of the
really hard core huddled under umbrellas, watching the dancers as the light
slowly grew until a watch told us the sun had actually made its way above the
Afterwards, in Berkeley, many of
us repair to a Pagan's house, a generous soul who lays out a wonderful brunch
to begin the rest of the day. More
of us than normal will be able to do it this year because it's a weekend. I have no idea how widespread this
particular custom has become, but it's a wonderful one, whether as a gift to the community and offering to
the Gods, or as a pot luck.
As the day progresses public
Sabbats will sprout all over our country, in parks and other large open
spaces. This year some will be on
Saturday, others on Sunday. It's a
chance to be deeply immersed in sacred time for long time for those who wish. May Poles will rise, whether as magickal centers of
intention or simply as fun. In
Berkeley NROOGD will give a public celebration with its "Obby Hoss," a old British tradition that, along with being a lot of fun to watch, is said
to bring fertility to any woman who gets caught under its cloak. I know it works. Here are some pictures from last year's festivities.
We celebrate Beltane because it is
fun, because it honors the sacred dimension of fun, because it celebrates life
and love, because it more than any other honors the gift of life and the
blessings of delight.

Anthony Davis has very bad manners. Anthony Davis plays right tackle for the 49ers who stayed in Appleton, Wisconsin in preparation for today's game in Green Bay. I happen to be staying in Appleton. Davis used ugly words to describe Appleton in his tweets, to write off an entire community. I can't write those words but I'm giving you a link to them right here.
I don't have an opinion about Appleton as a location. I haven't spent enough time here. But I can tell you this. Grant and I got a connecting flight on Saturday in Minneapolis. The connecting flight was delayed. We called Hertz car rental at the Appleton airport to say we would be delayed. The lady manning the desk said not to worry, she would stay there until we arrived. She did. She was an older woman and I'm sure she preferred to be home on a cold night. She gave us directions to our hotel. She told us where to eat. She led us to the parking lot so we could find our car.
The PD's photographer John Burgess flew into Chicago Saturday night. His connecting flight to Appleton got canceled and he had to drive to Appleton from Chicago. His airline sent his baggage to Appleton and informed him it was at the airport. This morning he asked the manager of our hotel how to get a cab to the airport. She said not to worry. She drove him to the airport to get his luggage.
I always have felt the people in Appleton are exemplary in their dealings with me. I assume they treat others that way. This town is not the bad words Anthony Davis used. This town is lovely if it's the people that matter.
Anthony Davis is a big man but he made himself look small.

Totally agree Lowell. That was a really stupid and thoughtless thing to say.
He only made those remarks because he is from Piscataway. Not many people know it's the "Palm Springs" of JERSEY. Being from the area I was a little angry with some of the remarks coming from the 49er fans. I cannot be though, the ignorance is getting pretty deep. Wisconsin is a best kept secret. Easy going, 4 seasons, lakes and rivers everywhere, door county, the dells, nicolet and chiquamegon national forests. We don't need anymore weekenders, we have enough coming from Illinois already. San Fran may have won the last three in a row, but the packers owned them during the Favre years, and the Rodgers years are far from over. Good luck to you, hope you all dressed warm. And just to remind you, football started in SF before Montana, and you haven't WON anything in 20 years. Thank you Mr. Cohn and good day sir.
Harbaugh's Niners may be tough guys, but they are becoming very difficult to root for. I'm originally from Chicago and have been to Appleton – a nice town with excellent social and government services, a relatively high educational level, low crime rate, affordable home prices and enough to do to satisfy most people. Granted, it probably doesn't have any strip clubs, so I can understand why Davis (an offensive lineman with the emphasis on offensive) would liken it to an opening in the ground containing fecal matter. Time to dive right in, Anthony.
Lowell, I lived for a few yrs in Buffalo, the armpit of , however the people were also very nice.I hated Buffalo but loved the people.
"Armpit of Americia"
Like Steve, I'm from Chicago.
My parents were schoolteachers, and bought a summer home on a
beautiful lake in Vilas County (northern), Wisconsin. I loved all the
people I met and had many friends I spent the summers with there as I
was growing up. My first girlfriend lived there. One of my daughters
graduated from Madison (UW).
I love the state – just not in mid-winter.
Actually I think Frisco is the "groin of America…"
Get a life! Who cares! It ain't that important.
So, what's with the Wisconsin bashing? Ever been there? No? Good. Don't go. Too bad for you.

GREENVILLE, S.C.---The search is back on for a missing four-year-old boy in Greenville.
Police and firefighters are back out, and search dogs were used again this morning before it got too hot.
The boy was last seen playing outside his home yesterday morning.
Police think he is missing and not kidnapped. The area has lots of kudzu, abandoned buildings and deep ravines.

Two audio cassettes. Interview with raccoon trapper, farmer, and former tupentiner Anders Woodard. He discusses his history as a raccoon trapper; farmer; turpentiner; process of gathering the gum for turpentine; early life in Tallahassee, making syrup; use of turpentine spirits and rosin; trapping, skinning, cleaning and selling raccoon hides; training dogs for hunting; deer, alligator and bear hunting; and working during the depression. In winter 1985, the Bureau contracted with two folklorists to conduct a folk arts survey of the St. Johns River basin in northeastern Florida. The St. Johns River is the largest and most used river in Florida, supporting much river commerce as well as a modest amount of commercial fishing. Folklorists Mary Anne McDonald and Kathleen Figgen conducted the survey from January through March 1985 under the direction of Folklife Coordinator Blanton Owen and Bureau Chief Ormond Loomis. Documentation compiled in the survey was used to prepare and present the 'St. Johns River Basin Folklife Area' at the 1985 Florida Folk Festival.

If Your Girlfriend eats your Cum, will U Eat it too?

what's this?
report abuse
If Your Girlfriend is willing to eat and swallow your cum.....would U share and swallow it yourself....its only polite isn't it?
I have always enjoyed having a woman or bisexual women suck and lick my horse cock until I shoot my cum load into their mouth(s) and then they swallow it completely....
I also have enjoyed having a woman or bisexual women, suck and lick my horse cock to eat my precum which I have an abundance of oozing from the cock's head. I relish in eating my own precum when I masturbate alone or share in foreplay with a woman or women.... I love my cock squeezed tightly and milked to get my precum out in large droplets that beg to be eaten before they cascade down the head and along the long thick shaft finally covering my huge shaved balls...My precum is absolutly crystal clear and just a slight taste of salt that clearly makes it yummy to consume....I enjoy long foreplay of hours making my cock hard and then relaxed so my copious volume of precum become available for sex appetizers for me and my lady guest(s).....
My question is:
If Your Girlfriend or Girlfriends are willing to eat and swallow your cum.....would U share and swallow it yourself....its only polite isn't it?
As far as my opinion on this question....for me its a resounding "YES"....
How can one expect a woman or women to swallow your cum if U R not capable of eating it yourself....
A favorite of mine is cumming in a woman's mouth fully, and then proceeding to initiate a deep full mouth tongue kiss so that my tongue and her tongue massage the cum load all over inside our mouths....with swallowing proceeding on both parts till the sex treat is devoured...This is known as "snowballing" and done typically between bisexual women enjoying their partner or partners... I also favor feeding a woman my precum via fingers to be licked off, sucked or deep tongue kisses if she has sucked a large amount into her mouth....
The great thing I find about cumming is the fun afterwards to enjoy the remnants of cum and precum that remain in my semi-hard cock, still to be enjoyed by squeezing and milking the engorged fleshy meat stick for hours afterwards till a fresh cum batch has been generated in my huge balls....
If I am willing to eat, lick, and suck a woman's pussy juices, cum, or squirted sex fluids, and then swallow them after sharing them with a woman or women.....Then I should also enjoy eating my own hot creamy cum and swallowing it....
But make it perfectly clear I am only interested in eating my own cum and precum with the woman or women I am enjoying at the time...NEVER another guy's cum at all....I am into only self-gratification here for myself and my women I am pleasing....

Cribs vs pack-n-plays
Has any one just skipped the crib and just let your child sleep in the pack n play instead of a crib, once the baby is ready to sleep in his/her room. I am just trying to decide if buying a crib is absolutly needed or not...

If any of you are worried about the thin mattress in a pack n play. Ive been looking around found that you can buy mattresses made for pack n plays. Ive found them on babiesRus and they are like $60 and would give the baby a little more support.posted 01/09/2012 by mmcgrew11
(Continuing on from owner of Cuddle Cove PackNPlay, ran outta room! Lol) Besides a baby isn't supposed to stay on their backs all day that's why during the day instead of keeping them in swings and bouncers you're supposed to hold them, play with them, do exercises so their motor skills and body skills can develop. I seriously took that overboard when my baby was little and refused to put him down most of the day except for naps or when his dad was home. My baby slept in his PackNPlay and went straight to a real bed cosleeping with me at 6 months when I was comfortable enough letting him (always take super extra precautions!) and already sleeps completely on his own at 15 months. I know I responded to this very late I just figured in case other new parent's have questions they'd come across my opinion anyways. For me a cribs a waste of time, but remember though, crib or packnplay the safety always starts with mama and daddy and how you feel comfortable with it all.posted 07/15/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I found this: January 18, 2013 Subject: Pack 'N Play vs. Crib QUESTION: We are considering using a Pack 'N Play solely as our new babies bed until she goes into her toddler bed. We used a crib with our first, and then turned it into a car for the toddler bed. I have been trying to do some research on this subject as to whether or not it would cause any kind of back problems. I thought asking a pediatrician would help. ANSWER: Thank you for your question. There is no problem using the Pack 'N Play as the primary sleeping surface for your baby until the upper weight limit of 35 pounds is reached or until he or she can climb out. I have never heard of any back problems in infants who sleep in the Pack 'N Play until they graduate to a toddler bed. By the way, I recommend keeping babies in cribs for as long as possible because at least, you always know where they are! Hope this has been helpful.

I have two children and am looking to have a third. I have worked with baby products for several years now both as a mom and professionally. Any pack-n-play instructions will tell you that it is NOT intended as a permanent sleep solution. There are "mini-cribs" that are great and inexpensive. You can also find cribs out there for around $100 ( same cost as the "pnp") that are JPMA certified. There are no longer any moving parts in cribs so the recalls are less and less. Not to mention the details of the recall may not be with regard to the safety of the child. (often times recalls are a direct result of negligent care).posted 01/09/2012 by EclecticAmber
Hello mmcgrew11 my baby first bed was a bassinet and from there to a crib, I do own a pack n play but i only use it when we are visiting family. The crib will give your baby more room to move around than the pack n playposted 01/08/2012 by zoville38
Well, my child slept in a pack and play for over a year. She did not even have a crib or a room until after she was a year old. She slept very well in the pack and play by our bed. We kept the top sleeper in place with the vibrating part and followed all recommendations as far as no blankets, stuffed animals, etc...posted 05/09/2013 by tabithaendicott
My son is 9 1/2 months old and has only ever napped in his crib in his room. He still sleeps at night in our bedroom in his pack n' play and I've decided to just let him continue to until he's ready for a bigger bed. The padding at the bottom is a little hard, but a crib mattress isn't exactly soft either, they're not supposed to be. Also, the mesh on the sides in nicer than the wooden bars. The only reason we have a crib is that it was a hand-me-down. I would say a pack n' play is fine as a crib. They're not very big, but if the baby is just sleeping it doesn't matter. Plus, they're easy to pack up and take on trips, and then the baby has a familiar place to sleep/play. We just took ours to visit my in-laws and I think it definitely helped my son to be in the same bed he sleeps in every night.posted 01/11/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
We have used a Chicco play yard with the MamaDoo Kids mattress topper for much needed extra comfort (our son could not stand the hard bottom!!!!!! he would wake up every hour!!!!) in our bedroom and also use them both when away from home for the day or overnight. Good luck!posted 01/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Pack and plays are just fine and have more room then cribs.posted 02/10/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
We just bought one of these as well! I think it will be fine. The bassinet is very secure and everything is very tight so I don't see why it would be a problem. I am also looking to use the "playpen" area as a sleeping portion instead of a crib. The arguments against that I have heard is that it is a smaller space and it is a lot lower to reach into. I don't see why this would be a problem. I am a minimalist and feel that buying a crib would be a waste for the amount of time that we will be using it.posted 01/09/2012 by myherbalsurf

Minnesota justices deny GOP effort to change gov tally
Tuesday, November 23, 2010
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Republican Tom Emmer failed Monday to convince Minnesota's highest court that signed polling place rosters must be matched with the number of votes tallied in the state's undecided race for governor.
In a rapid ruling issued within two hours of a court hearing, justices declined Emmer's request to order the comparison prior to an automatic recount in the race, which could have led to some ballots being randomly disqualified. Emmer trails Democrat Mark Dayton by 8,770 votes.
The court's order came with little explanation. Justices said they wanted to get it out quickly "so as not to impede the orderly election process" and would follow up with a detailed opinion later.
Republican Party chairman Tony Sutton, speaking on behalf of Emmer, expressed his disappointment. Sutton said the Emmer camp is turning its attention to the recount, which was due to start Monday.
"We will continue to work to ensure that Minnesota election law is followed, that the most basic right of our election system of one person, one vote is upheld," Sutton said.
Dayton attorney Marc Elias told reporters before the court acted that his client's lead was "insurmountable absent some kind of evidence that something went very wrong, and we have seen nothing to suggest that."
Last week, Emmer filed the lawsuit that prompted the fast-track hearing. He asked the court to order local election administrators to count up voters who signed polling place rosters and line their results up with final precinct tallies. The process known as reconciliation could have led to ballots being randomly set aside.
Election administrators argued that they were acting within state rules in balancing their vote tallies using generic but numbered receipts issued to voters and said there were few cases where there was a mismatch at night's end. Dayton's lawyers contended the remedy — a random pull of ballots — would punish voters who properly cast them.
At one point in the hearing, Justice G. Barry Anderson suggested that the signed rosters are the "gold standard" for determining how many people actually voted, but he also questioned whether using one over the other would make a difference.
"Aren't we really arguing about form over substance here? At the end of the day, isn't the voters receipt simply proof of the underlying signature?" Anderson asked Emmer attorney Diane Bratvold.
She stood her ground. "We are in fact arguing over how the correct number of lawfully cast ballots will be determined. There could be something of no greater significance than that single question, particularly here where we are going to enter an automatic recount," Bratvold said.
Without offering concrete evidence, Emmer's attorneys guessed there were be thousands of excess votes in the current tally. But Hennepin County and Ramsey County, Minnesota's two largest, say they found a combined 27 extra votes across hundreds of their precincts, according to court papers they filed.
State law provides for the random subtraction of votes.
"It seems very clear that was not followed here," said Justice Christopher Dietzen. "It seems difficult that we as a court should turn a blind eye to that."
Defending the way things were done, Minnesota Solicitor General Alan Gilbert told the court that officials used proper discretion and the number of extra ballots "really doesn't affect in the grand scheme of things the outcome of the election."
Elias cautioned the court about altering second-guessing the rules officials relied on.
"Once the ballots are opened and once you know the vote total the court should be skeptical about procedural challenges that could have been brought earlier," Elias said.
The issue could resurface. A brief his legal team filed Monday hinted that it could become part of a post-recount election contest, in which the entire election is put on trial.
In the brief, Emmer insisted the polling book and vote tally matches be done before the recount. Without it, Emmer's lawyers wrote that they "may be forced" to raise the issue in a contest, "which may well drag this election into the beginning of 2011."
The next governor is supposed to take office on Jan. 3, but an election lawsuit would delay the vital election certificate he needs. Under the constitution, current GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty may be left in office until the case is resolved.
As the court held its hearing, Dayton and running mate Yvonne Prettner Solon met with leaders of the Legislature's Democratic minorities. Afterward, he said he doubts there will be much change in the numbers as the recount moves forward, noting that he picked up 15 votes after mandatory local postelection reviews of random precincts.
"I don't see anything thus far that's been raised that would cause anyone to doubt the fundamental integrity of the election at this point that has Yvonne and myself ahead by 8,770 votes. So, let the process continue but let it continue in a timely basis," he said.

Tax transparency: The tech challenge
In his Budget speech last week, Chancellor George Osborne vowed to create a "a far simpler tax system, which businesses can easily navigate and where ordinary taxpayers understand what they are being asked to pay."
The government's tax transparency plans depend on technology innovations at HMRC to deliver them. During the Chancellor's speech and afterwards, you could almost hear the "ker-ching" as pound signs registered in the eyes of government technology suppliers. Many others who have watched the painful evolution of the country's computerised taxation systems started groaning, "Here we go again."
We already know that the personal tax transparency proposals include a taxpayers' statement detailing the income tax and NICs they pay, their average tax rates, and what the money will be spent on. When Treasury minister David Gauke launched the consultation document last November he mentioned the possibility of creating an HMRC tax app for mobile phones and showed screenshots for an online personal tax summary page that would allow taxpayers and employers to review and amend their records. Even constructing the basic reporting mechanism to deliver the information is likely to be a major exercise, whether or not the statements are delivered on paper or via the web.
Here are the other tax technology initiatives AccountingWEB has identified so far:
- Business Tax Dashboard - From April 2012, businesses will be able to check online all of their taxes in one screen. The new Business Tax Dashboard is designed to help unrepresented taxpayers to help them keep track of what tax is due and what they have paid. The BTD will bring together a summary of the tax position for Corporation Tax or Self Assessment and VAT and/or PAYE from April 2012.
- Merger of income tax and NIC systems - this latest policy compromise will add an extra layer of complexity to the RTI and Universal Credit developments as the guiding policy changes and new requirements are added.
- VAT online registration - Until October 2012, customers wishing to register for VAT will be directed to the existing registration channels. From October 2012, customers will be able to use the online tax registration service (OTRS) to register for VAT and be enrolled automatically for the VAT Online service at the same time. Registering for VAT online will not be mandated and existing channels will remain.
- Single registration service - This is a reference to the joint registration service which will be integrated into the existing Company House Web Incorporation service (it is expected that in due course commercial incorporation software will also offer this). There will be two additional pages at the end of the incorporation pages where companies can include the additional information necessary to register for Corporation Tax with HMRC. Completion of these pages is optional and companies can use OTRS or existing channels to register for Corporation tax with HMRC.
- Machine games duty - a new IT system will be needed to process registrations and returns and permit taxpayers to register and file returns online. This project will incur approximately £10m in additional IT costs over a seven year period (TIIN A71).

"the yet to be completed RTI project for monthly PAYE efiling" 1 thanks
I had not noticed this before. John, are you saying that RTI reports will be based on the Tax Months? I had assumed it would mean making a report every time wages/salaries were paid.
I stand corrected
Article has been amended. I made the mistaken assumption that because I get paid monthly, so does everybody else. Not a very accountant- or business-like attitude to take, so thanks for pointing out the error and please accept my apologies for it.
Tax Dashboard
I think this idea is fantastic but what I don't understand is why can't this be available for everyone i.e. all taxpayers (representred or not) and agents? It would be extremely useful for taxpayers with various taxes due/overdue to get a snapshot of exactly what is owing to HMRC.
Personal Tax Statement
...so if my employer provides an e-P60 I won't get a personal tax statement? Or has it been 'forgotten' by the Treasury / HMRC that P60s can now be provided electronically?
You Stand Corrected
If only RTI was periodic filing but it isn't. RTI is filed every time a payroll is run. So as a monthly paid accountant that is likely to be once a month. For some people who are monthly paid it may be several times a month as corrections are made and as bonuses are added.
For some people with multiple employements of differing frequencies with different employers, RTI has to gather the earnings and shovel them across to UC and one or other of the 2 systems will have to work out the pay for UC purposes. Based on the track record of each department it is quite likely that they haven't agreed which of them will create the "pay fo UC" value.
he stood up and said he wanted a simpler system, whilst delivering a more complex system. A simpler system is about politicians accepting something they have never ever ever ever EVER accepted before. Making changes has knock on effects. Was he really expecting that backlash from a simple VAT change? And his child benefit fiasco was the result of a trite political throwaway line for a conference speech. Imagine what would happen if he merged NI into income tax. The best we can expect is that he will try and merge the management of them.
AND name one government sponsored IT project that has really delivered even half of what it promised.

The Eagles have contacted Dennis Dixon and are in contract discussions with the Ravens' practice squad quarterback who played for Chip Kelly at Oregon, according to league sources.
Although it's known that Dixon would like to reunite with his former college offensive coordinator, it's not clear when the two sides will come to an agreement and there is always a chance that both sides go separate ways.
The team isn't commenting on any coach or player transactions but it's believed that Kelly would bring in Dixon to compete for a job, not be handed the keys to the offense or be considered the frontrunner to start.
Per NFL rules pertaining to practice squad players, Dixon became a free agent immediately after the Super Bowl and can sign a futures contract for 2013 with any team even though free agency doesn't begin until March.
Kelly, a first-time NFL coach, has said his Eagles offense won't be a carbon copy of the high-octane, spread scheme he ran at Oregon, where he built the Ducks into an offensive juggernaut and national powerhouse.
The Eagles still have quarterbacks Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Trent Edwards under contract although Vick, who is slated to make about $16 million in 2013, could be cut before Wednesday night at no expense to the team.
Dixon's advantage is that he ran Kelly's offense in college and emerged as a Heisman front-runner in his senior season until tearing up his knee. Kelly was Oregon's offensive coordinator at the time.
Dixon spent his first four NFL seasons with the Steelers, who picked him in the fifth round of the 2008 draft. He started just three games, going 2-1, and played in just four games but Pittsburgh let him walk after his rookie deal expired.
Dixon spent the 2012 season on Baltimore's practice squad and will receive his second Super Bowl ring. He won his first with the Steelers in 2008, his rookie year. Dixon emulated 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick on the scout team as the Ravens prepared for the Super Bowl against San Francisco's dynamic dual-threat quarterback.
Shortly after the Eagles hired Kelly on Jan. 16, Dixon applauded the coach's jump from college to the professional level.
"I'm in awe right now," Dixon said, per The Baltimore Sun, after Kelly's hiring became official. "I'm at a loss for words. I'm sure it was a business decision, a family decision, but it's really hard to leave the Ducks. I think he is ready for that next step."
In Pittsburgh, Dixon completed just 59.3 percent of his passes, threw one touchdown and one interception while scrambling for 56 yards on 10 carries and rushing for a touchdown.
But before sustaining a torn anterior cruciate ligament as a senior at Oregon, Dixon had led the Ducks to an 8-1 record and No. 2 rank in the BCS standings. He had completed almost 68 percent of his passes, rushed for 583 yards and totaled 2,719 yards in 10 games and still won the Pac-10 Conference's Offensive Player of the Year unanimously despite having his season truncated by injury.
Kelly is still evaluating his current roster and still assembling his coaching staff. He hasn't yet hired a defensive coordinator and the team has yet to announce any of Kelly's assistant hirings.
There are no indications that Dixon would be the lead candidate to be Kelly's next starter but his presence would give the coach some depth at the game's most important position and put someone on the roster who is familiar with Kelly's offensive style and schemes.
At the Senior Bowl last month in Mobile, Ala., Kelly admitted that he hadn't yet formulated an offensive blueprint for the NFL and wouldn't be averse to keeping quarterbacks of various skill sets.
"You need to have people that have some versatility because your starting quarterback may be able to run your scheme and your backup quarterback may not," he said. "You don't just throw your hands up in the first quarter when [the starter] is out and say, 'We're in trouble now.' You've got to be able to adapt. That's what I think the fun part of coaching is -- being able to identify what your personnel can do and play to their strengths."

RISMEDIA, Jan. 10, 2008-Heads-up, bosses! According to Yahoo! HotJobs' annual job satisfaction survey, 72 percent of employees are open to a new career opportunity in 2008, and you might be the reason. More than four out of 10 employees (43 percent) blame either dislike of their boss' management style or lack of mentorship at their company as the reason they would be willing to leave their current job.
While salary (36 percent) and growth potential (34 percent) are also major considerations in deciding whether to seek out a new career challenge, the majority of respondents, 55 percent, agree that "people don't leave companies, they leave managers."
"Having a fair, sympathetic manager who makes employees feel valued is a crucial element to an employee's job satisfaction," says Yahoo! HotJobs Managing Editor, Tom Musbach. "A good manager will remember that it's important to offer intangible benefits like work-life balance, positive recognition and opportunities for growth. These are just as relevant as the basics, like salary, benefits and vacation days, when it comes to making employees happy."
In fact, when asked which aspect of their job was most important for determining their happiness at work, most respondents, 32 percent, say having a good boss or supervisor ranks first, followed closely by salary and opportunities for advancement. And, in identifying their ideal manager, 70 percent of respondents prefer a hands-off boss who trusts them to do their job but is there when needed.
Top Qualities of a Good Boss
Almost half of respondents, 43 percent, think they could do as good or a better job than their boss if they switched positions for a day. If given that opportunity, here are the qualities they consider necessary for being a good boss (in order of importance):
1. Communication/listening skills
2. Effective leadership skills
3. Trust in their employees to do their job well
4. Flexibility and understanding
5. Intelligence
6. Teamwork skills and even temperament (tie)
7. Interest in employee development
8. Ability to share credit
9. Successful in finding and retaining new talent
10. Presentation skills
Earn More Job Satisfaction
The workplace dynamic is changing. Employees have raised the bar when it comes to job satisfaction, expecting their employers to offer more-whether it is salary, respect, work-life balance or even vacation time. If they're not getting what they feel they deserve, they might join the 30 percent of employees who are not only open to a new opportunity, but who are actively looking for a new position in 2008.
Employees should regularly re-evaluate their standing in the workplace to ensure their career needs are being met. Here are a few job evaluation tips from Yahoo! HotJobs to help employees look at their career from a "big picture" perspective:
- Schedule regular "update" meetings with your boss to discuss your strengths, weaknesses and progress toward your career goals.
- Ask for what you want. If you want a raise or more responsibility, it is important that you ask for it, don't just assume it will automatically come to you.
- Be prepared. Keep a list of your career successes and lessons learned handy so that you can easily justify your request for more salary or responsibility.
- If your regular career evaluations lead you to see that your growth in your current position has stalled, it may be time to move on. Here are a few suggestions for taking that next step:
- Develop a list of pros and cons about your current position and a list of aspirations for your next job, then research companies and positions that fit the bill.
- Think of your resume as a billboard, not an encyclopedia. Keep it short and tight by including action verbs and performance metrics.
- Make sure everyone in your network knows you are looking for a new position. There is a job opportunity lurking around every corner.
- Take advantage of online search agents, RSS feeds and job recommendation services like the ones on Yahoo! HotJobs. Not only will they notify you when a new position is posted but they'll even make recommendations that fit the criteria found in positions to which you have already applied.
Data was collected from more than 1,200 office professionals in the United States via an online survey questionnaire across the Yahoo! and HotJobs networks. Respondents to the survey represent all 50 states. Forty-nine percent of respondents were male and 51 percent were female. The results reflect only the opinions of the professionals who chose to participate.

Interesting ideas from Horti 2014
Here are simple, practical and doable ideas for gardeners and farmers in the urban setting or in the countryside. These were showcased at the Horti 2014, the garden show staged recently at the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City by the Philippine Horticultural Society headed by Dorie S. Bernabe.
EDIBLE GARDEN – A seed company showcased an idea where urban gardeners can have their flowers and vegetables at the same time. This is the East-West Seed Company which garnered the top prize in the "Corporate Category" of the garden show.
In their exhibit, they demonstrated that vegetables like tomatoes, eggplant, upland kangkong, pechay and others can be planted together with flowering plants like petunia, zinnia, vinca, marigold and the like in the garden. This way, the home owner does not only have the colorful flowering and foliage ornamentals but also edibles that they can harvest fresh for the kitchen.
IF SOIL IS ADOBE – The East-West Seed showcase also demonstrated that if the soil is adobe as is the case in many places in Quezon City, one can still grow robust plants. The technique is to grow the ornamentals and vegetables in containers. These could be in clay pots, rubberized containers, plastic bags and the like.
The trick is to provide a rich and well-drained potting medium. This could be a mixture of carbonized rice hull, coco peat or coco coir dust, organic fertilizer and garden soil.
NOVEL TRELLIS FOR VINE VEGGIES – East-West Seed also displayed a novel trellis for vine vegetables like ampalaya, patola, upo, cucumber, sitao, sigarilyas or winged bean, patani and others.
Here, they planted ampalaya in a half-drum and installed on it a four-cornered trellis consisting of bamboo slats. The bamboo slats, about two inches wide are bent outward at the top towards four directions. The ampalaya or other vine vegetables will grow up to the top and the fruits will just hang below the canopy. That will make a beautiful view and the fruits will be very easy to harvest.
VERTICAL VEGETABLE GARDEN – Toto Barcelona of Harbest Agribusiness showcased another way of growing your own vegetables around your home. If you have very limited space, you can copy Toto's vertical garden.
The planting bed is actually standing on a portable stand. The bed is about two inches thick held in place between two sheets of poultry wire mesh. The planting medium is a mixture of carbonized rice hull and coco coir dust.
Leafy vegetables like pechay, lettuce, mustard, upland kangkong and others could be planted from the bottom up. Watering is hassle-free because it is done by drip irrigation. Just open the faucet and presto!, the plants are watered and fertilized at the same time.
With a portable stand, the vertical garden can be transferred to a desirable spot whenever needed.
NO NEED TO WATER EVERYDAY – Dr. Eduardo Paningbatan Jr. showcased another technique whereby you can grow your favorite kangkong and other vegetables without having to water them for many days.
A few years back, we wrote about his system of growing vegetables and other plants in halved soft drink bottles using his special medium and plant nutrients that are very affordable. The plants grow robust but you have to water them every day or two.
Now, his new system will enable you to leave your plants without watering them for days or even weeks. This is what he has done. He halved lengthwise the plastic drum that is readily available in many places. On top of the halved drum, he installs welded wire that will hold the plants grown in the soda bottles. The halved drum is filled with water up to an inch or two below the rim.
The kangkong in the halved soda bottles are held in place by the welded wire, with the lower portion of the soda bottles submerged in the water. Water is taken up by the roots to make the plants grow. Dr. Paningbatan places algae in the water to produce oxygen gas that will help aerate the water. He also stocks tilapia fingerlings to eat the wrigglers of mosquitoes, if there are any.
Kangkong seeds or cuttings can be used for planting in the soda bottles. Plants grown from seeds will usually become harvestable in 25 days. The leafy portion can be harvested leaving a leaf or two on the stump. The kangkong will regrow and in about 10 days and the new shoots can be ready for harvesting again.
Actually, other vegetables can also be grown under the same system. These include lettuce, pechay, mustard, camote for tops, alugbati, talinum and even fruiting vegetables, culinary herbs and ornamental plants.

How to Remove Self Tanning Lotion Stains from Clothes
Self-tanning lotion can be great for your summer look, but it's not so great for your clothes. Everything you need to remove these stains is probably already in your cupboard.
1Treat immediately. Always treat any stain as soon as you can. When possible, work from the inside out, or underneath the stain. This helps the stain to lift off the fabric instead of through the fabric.
2Fold a light-colored cloth and place it underneath the stain . This will help to prevent the stain from spreading to more fabric.
3Try just soap. First try treating the stain with a simple mixture of dish washing liquid and warm water. Be sure not to scrub the stain to avoid fraying the fabric, you'll only need to lightly dab.
4Turn to peroxide. Before working on the stain, test the hydrogen peroxide on a hidden area just in case the cleaning agent has a chemical reaction on the fabric. You'll want to use the 3% kind often used for first aid. Once you know it's safe for your shirt, simply dab on with a cloth or cotton ball.
5Break it down. If nothing has worked yet, try rubbing glycerin into the stain. Glycerin is used for soaping making and can be found at health food stores. Glycerin will work to break down the stain so that it will be easier to remove. Repeat steps two and three afterwards.
6Launder. One or a combination of these steps should have worked for you. Your last step will be to wash the item as you normally do. But don't dry the item until all stains are removed.

Sunday, October 5, 2008. (AP) -- Georgia moves back into the Top 10 but Oklahoma remains at the top of the The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll.
Oklahoma is Number 1 with 51 first-place votes and 1,608 points, gaining a few points and top votes in its second week on top of the rankings this season.
Alabama is Number 2, and Missouri moves up one spot to third after winning 52-17 at Nebraska.
LSU drops a spot to Number 4 after an off week, and Texas remains fifth. The Longhorns and Sooners meet Saturday in the annual Red River Rivalry in Dallas.
Number 6 Penn State and seventh-ranked Texas Tech hold their spots. Number 8 Southern California and 9th-ranked BYU flip-flopped after USC's easy 44-10 victory against Oregon. Georgia moved to 10th while Florida is right behind them in 11th.
Oklahoma State moved up to Number 17 after a 56-28 defeat of Texas A&M.

This content brought to you by TheStreet's OptionsProfits. CLICK HERE FOR A 14-DAY FREE TRIAL.
Richard Collings and Ronald Orol, TheStreet's analysts over at TheDeal, have done extensive research on the Jos. A Banks Clothier (JOSB)/The Men's Wearhouse (MW) deal. Here is Ronald's latest piece and you can find more content on TheDeal.com. So, let's dive a bit deeper on Options Profits and see how we can potentially play this using options strategies.
Based on the price action of JOSB, it is obvious that the market still believes a JOSB/MW deal is going to get done. If the market believed the deal was going to fall apart JOSB would be trading near its pre-deal price of $40-$45. What is now obvious is that the board of directors of JOSB wants more money than they are being offered.
Based on what is a lot of brinksmanship, I think the JOSB board may want $58-$60 per share in order to get a deal done. That is a nice premium over the current price. If JOSB doesn't get that price range and the deal actually falls apart then this puppy could tank.
Looking at the options are I think there are a lot of plays that make sense. One play I like is an April 1X2 call spread. I would buy the 55 calls and then sell the 60 calls twice against it. As long as the deal price stays below $63.75 and gets done, the trade comes out a winner. If the deal gets done at $55 (which it seems like it won't), or the deal completely falls apart, this trade could lose.
Another interesting trade would be a risk reversal betting that the deal gets done at under $60, or falls apart. One could trade the April 35/60 risk reversal, buying puts and selling calls to collect a small credit. All of these plays fall more on the deal arbitrage side, but make perfect sense for those that understand the two companies and/or are already long shares in one or the other.

Talk about sliding in on a banana peel screaming "I made it!" But then again…..that seems to be me these days. Tardiness is my second name – when it comes to blogging that is! When I saw on Cooksister! blog that Jeanne was hostessing the Monthly Mingle for April and that her choice was "Topless Tarts" I was pretty excited because just a couple of days before I read her post I had actually made a savoury tart/quiche for my bookclub which I hosted in April…yes, I have to say "in April" because today is already May! Can you believe that??? We are almost at the half mark for the year and personally my head is spinning. Way way too fast for me. My days seem to pass in a blur. I have never been as busy as I am at the moment and I am battling to manage my time. All of a sudden I am "working", even though I am at home all day and not leaving at 7 or 8am and returning at 5pm. My day is taken up with emails and social networking, liasing with sponsors, meeting with others, lots and lots of communication. It has also been holiday time here in SA with lots of long weekends and public holidays in between so I have done my share of grandson sitting as well. Result? Very little to no time left for blogging. Food blogging involves photographing food that you have cooked. Photography involves editing. Then there is the writing. I just don't get around to it as I would like to. I have folders and folders of photographs waiting for me to edit. Hence my reason for now skidding up to the finish line triumphantly hoisting high my post for Topless Tarts! And I am only skidding in because the deadline of 30 April was extended until midnight tonight 🙂 Thank you Jeanne, I know you say you inherited your own tardiness from your blogmamma hehe!
Anyway, on to my Topless Tart. It was my turn to host our monthly bookclub and I always like to make a savoury and a sweet tart for the occasion. This time I had in my
arsenal errr fridge a packet of pancetta that I had been given to sample by Richard Bosman, Mr Charcuterie as I like to call him. So I started thinking about what I could make with the sliced pancetta and, besides things like pasta and other delicious dishes that I could come up with I really wanted to use it in my tart. I also happened to have some plump beautiful fresh figs that I had picked up at the market a couple of days earlier and a wedge of Blue Tower cheese! A delectable image started forming in my brain of 'the tart'. Add some caramelized onions and fresh thyme from my patio herb pots and I was good to go.
This is what I came up with:
400g Shortcrust Pastry – you can use bought but I like to use my own very easy recipe
100g Sliced Pancetta – each slice cut in half
1 Wedge Blue Tower Cheese – or any other type of mould cheese that you prefer
6 to 8 Fresh Figs – washed and halved – keep 1 whole for the middle
10ml Runny Honey
2 Large Onions – peeled and finely sliced
20ml Olive Oil
5ml Butter
1tsp Brown Sugar
3 sprigs Thyme – leaves only
5ml Chocolate Balsamic Creme – I was fotunate to get a bottle of this as a gift from Jamie when she visited from France in February (grate a bit of dark chocolate into your onions if you dont have and use 5ml normal balsamic)
Freshly cracked Black Pepper
2 Eggs
100ml Milk
50ml Cream
5ml Dijon Mustard
Salt & black pepper to season
To make the pie
Preheat the oven to 200deg Celcius
Defrost (if frozen) the pasty then roll out to the correct size, line you pastry dish, prick all over with a fork then blind bake the pie crust for about 15 minutes. Remove the baking beans and paper and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
Set aside until you need it. (Follow baking instructions here if you have never used pastry before) Leave the oven at 200deg Celcius
Place a deep frying pan over a low to medium heat, add the oil and butter then gently saute the onions and thyme until they are soft and translucent and start browning – about 10 minutes or so
Add the balsamic (grated chocolate if you are using it) and sugar, stir in and continue caramelizing over a low heat until all the liquid has evaporated and the onions are a dark caramelized brown
In the meanwhile make the custard by beating the eggs together with the mustard, milk and cream, season with a bit of salt and pepper
Spread the onions around to cover the base of the pastry case
Pour over the custard filling
Set your sliced figs around in the pattern that you want. Cut the whole fig through into quarters but not right through the bottom. Squeeze the fig open into a flower and place it in the centre of the tart
Crumble the Blue Tower cheese over the top of the filling
Layer the pancetta prettily over the top, sprinkle on a few sprigs of thyme then drizzle with the honey
Grind some black pepper over then bake for about 20 minutes until the pancetta is crispy and the custard just set
Serve at room temperature or warm.
I served mine topped with some fresh baby Italian rocket leaves from my herb pots and it was delicious!
So join me for a slice over at Topless Tarts the April Monthly Mingle, an event that was started by Meeta and which is hosted by Jeanne this month.
I reckon there are going to be some awesome topless tarts hanging around her blog right now.
Good company to keep? 😉
Enjoy! And have a good week!

This is a long overdue posting. I vowed to myself after my last blog post that I would not allow so much time to slip by before I posted again. In fact I made a pact with myself that I would start posting and publishing regularly…but unfortunately that didn't happen so here I am…sneaking in a bit red-faced and embarrassed but nontheless……here I am. In fact my only redeeming quality right now is the recipe that I am about to tell you all about. You are going to love me all over again after this. Unless of course you are on a diet….as I am……and in that case…….HATE AWAY!! I cannot keep this amazing Amarula Dark Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake to myself any longer. Let me tell you a bit about how I came to make this delightful cheesecake ..
You just have to love twitter some days…in fact I love it every day that I get there! I find it so very entertaining and also enlightening. I learn a lot from twitter and some days I just flat out laugh out loud at the antics that some folk get up to. But other days, when I do manage to find the time to open up my tweetdeck, I come across absolute gems – like the lead-up to that risotto and this cheesecake. Sarah Duff , online photojournalist and food editor for Getaway (what a job!!!) tweets the most amazing foodie gems in between all her travel and "make you so jealous" tweets and about 2 months ago I saw a tweet flash onto my screen with a link to an amazing cheesecake that she had baked. Now, I am a fridge (no-bake) cheesecake queen! I have made gazillions of the things for coffee shops and private clients. But I have always shied away from the baked kind. But this one just grabbed my attention so much that I decided that it would be the way to break the baked cheesecake drought in my house. Am I ever glad that I did. My family love me again…I am the world's best mother in law (I kid you not!) and my son in law (who had his birthday on Sunday) ordered this rather than his regular annual choice of my death by chocolate cake after he tasted the cheesecake that I made just before we went on holiday…yes, the husband and I have been away on holiday too since I last posted! Am I forgiven now?? Anyway, to tell you just how much he loves my Amarula Dark Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake (and me 🙂 ) he came to me at the end of the party on Sunday, wiping chocolate crumbs from his chin and lips, and declared that if he were to die then he would be the happiest man for all eternity HAHA! Being browniegirl, my penchant is to take recipes and "pimp" them a bit to my own liking. This one didn't need any changing for it to be absolutely perfect! But fiddle I did. You can find the original Sarah Duff version here and here is my version for you all to enjoy!
200g Oreo biscuits (or use your own preference)
100g Butter – melted
250g creamed cheese – I used Lancewood Superior
250g Mascarpone Cheese
1 tin condensed milk
1 Lemon – juice only
4 Eggs – seperated
100g 85% dark Chocolate
100g NoMU Hot Chocolate Chunks
200ml Amarula Crème Liqueur
125g Castor Sugar
5mls NoMU Vanilla Paste
Preheat oven to 180 deg C. Place a cake pan of boiling water onto the bottom shelf of the oven. This will stop the cake from cracking too much.
Spray the insides and base of a 23cm deep, loose bottomed springform pan with cooking spray. Line the base with baking parment. Wrap a piece of aluminum foil tightly around the outside bottom of the pan so that it comes up around the sides (this stops any leakage out onto the bottom of the oven during baking)
Crush the biscuits together with the cocoa until the biscuits are fine, then mix well with the melted butter. Press down into the base of the prepared pan. Compress and smooth the crumbs with the back of a spoon. Pop the pan into the fridge while you make the filling.
Roughly chop up the dark chocolate and melt it in a glass bowl, together with the chocolate chunks, in the microwave on 50% power for a minute or two. Take it out halfway through and stir it. Set aside until needed
Beat the egg yolks, half the sugar, the condensed milk, cream cheese, mascarpone, vanilla, lemon juice and Amarula together well.
Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. It will start thickening.
Beat the egg whites until foamy, add the rest of the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.
Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate cheese mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Pour all onto the prepared chilled crust
Bake, on the middle shelf of the oven, for 30 – 40 minutes. The cheesecake must still be a bit wobbly in the middle
Switch the oven off and open the oven door. Leave the cheesecake to cool down completely in the oven. Remove the cheesecake briefly from the oven and run a thin metal spatula all around the sides to loosen it from the pan and thereby stop more cracking as it cools and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This cake souffles a bit as it bakes so it is normal for it to sag back down in the centre and crack a bit.
Serve at room temperature dusted liberally with icing sugar and some berries and ice cream
My grandson Ty shares a birthday with his daddy. His choice of cake this year was an army tank cake. Here is my
masterpiece attempt at recreating his cake of choice:
Seeing as Thursday is already dying I wish you all a wonderful weekend ahead.

GnuTLS Removes Questionable Extension
Version 2.0.2 of the GnuTLS security library does without the TLS authorization extension due to threats of patent claims.
The project took this step because the extension is not critical, but it cannot be ruled out that the extension might be patented. The project prefers to avoid any danger ensuing from a lack of clarity concerning patent claims. At the same time, this step will prevent the technology becoming more widespread. The TLS authorization extension was only added to the library in the version released early in September.
At the last minute a company claimed to have applied for a patent on TLS authorization which had been submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a draft standard, says the Free Software Foundation. The IETF had immediately rejected the draft after receiving the notice.
GnuTLS implements the RFC 2246 (Transport Layer Security) TLS standard which is used by many applications for certificate-based encryption. GnuTLS which is released under the LGPLv2 is an alternative to OpenSSL, which is released under the Apache License.
