Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World (Compact Disc)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Empires of the Sea tells the story of the fifty-year world war between Islam and Christianity for the Mediterranean: one of the fiercest and most influential contests in European history. It traces events from the appearance on the world stage of Suleiman the Magnificent-the legendary ruler of the Ottoman Empire-through "the years of devastation" when it seemed possible that Islam might master the whole sea to the final brief flourishing of a united Christendom in 1571.The core of the story is the six years of bitter and bloody conflict between 1565 and 1571 that witnessed a fight to the finish. It was a tipping point in world civilization, a fast-paced struggle of spiraling intensity that led from the siege of Malta and the battle for Cyprus to the pope's last-gasp attempt to rekindle the spirit of the Crusades and the apocalypse at Lepanto. It features a rich cast of characters: Suleiman the Magnificent, greatest of Ottoman sultans; Hayrettin Barbarossa, the pirate who terrified Europe; the Knights of St. John, last survivors of the medieval crusading spirit; the aged visionary Pope Pius V; and the meteoric, brilliant Christian general, Don John of Austria. It is also a narrative about places: the shores of the Bosphorus, the palaces and shipyards of the Venetian lagoon, the barren rocks of Malta, the islands of Greece, the slave markets of Algiers-and the character of the sea itself with its complex pattern of winds and weather, which provided the conditions and the field of battle. It involves all the peoples who border the Great Sea: Italians, Turks, Greeks, Spaniards, the French and the people of North Africa.This story is one of extraordinary color and incident, rich in detail, full of surprises, and backed by a wealth of eyewitness accounts. Its denouement, the battle of Lepanto, is a single action of quite shocking impact-considered at the time in Christian Europe to be "a day to end all days." It is also a narrative about technology and money. Lepanto was the Mediterranean's Trafalgar, one of the great battles of world history, and a turning point in naval warfare. It was the last and greatest moment in the age of the galleys before sailing ships with broadside guns swept all before them, and it was paid for, on the Christian side, with Inca gold.The battle for the Mediterranean was instrumental in fixing the boundaries of Christendom and Islam and redirecting the course of empire. After Lepanto, the great powers turned away exhausted from the bitter and fruitless struggle for mastery of the Mediterranean. Henceforth, the contest for empire would be global: its new theaters would be the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, the spice islands and the Americas.

pretty! thanks for sharing the templates!
I Love This How'd You Make These
wow! these are epic!
ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! Thank you so much for doing them. I'm a very Okami fan. THANKS!
No problem, i'm a huge fan too! if you have any requests for characters not done yet, just let me know
I miss the Owls and these girls who stayed near the Sakuya tree. Also the king under the sea and the queen (i don't remember her name) also... the parrots mafia and the girl from space.
And a simple boss: Yami
And a simple boss: Yami
i don't want to do him too simple, a big box would be kinda boring, so i want to make it so the fishbowl is inside, maybe something like those russian dolls with a box inside a box inside a box, then i can do a few of the different colours.
Will definitely add to the list
Will definitely add to the list
I'm sure you will make it awesome. Waiting for the gods for making a poster with them glued like a Chinese zodiac
i love this game i hope it gets another console port
the character is getting really popular thanks to marvel vs capcom 3, so hopefully!
i agree okamiden left it very open for a sequel even if it is handheld if the put it on the 3ds it would be pretty close to the console
Ahh more papercrafts! I love it! Handmade things like this always look like so much fun.
thank you. They are really addictive! lots more in my gallery but these are some of the more complicated ones
The boss battles are epic and so fun in Okami ^^. Now facing them all at once like this... Good luck Ammy.
Boss battles in Okami are amazing. Great job at making the papercraft versions of them. Only problem is that Yami is missing...
thank you! And yeah he's gonna be tough, but i've got a plan on how to make him once i've finished the brushgods!
You must go through a lot of razor blades, don't you?

In the past, organizations have typically implemented analysis capabilities as a one-size-fits-all solution that fails to understand the unique needs of each audience within the organization. The net impact of this imprecise deployment strategy can include:

Casual users may be overwhelmed with irrelevant, overly detailed information.

Power users cannot dig as deep as they would like.

Executives may lack clear and flexible visibility into real-time organizational performance.

Today, people in organizations want information in different ways. By tailoring these analytical tools and processes toward each audience, companies of all sizes and in all sectors can leverage business intelligence (BI) in a way that facilitates optimal performance within that given role.

Executives can see at a glance how the organization is performing, and then quickly drill down to an appropriate level of detail, allowing them to make fast, effective decisions.

Business and financial analysts can dig deeper and turn analyses around with greater speed and precision to improve the quality of data they're producing for themselves and for others.

Business users, who have relied on specialists for analytical expertise, can increasingly take control of the tools and pursue business-specific analysis on their own.

Different styles of analysis

By understanding the major types of analysis and relating them to specific roles within the organization, companies can avoid the common pitfalls that derail more traditional approaches to BI implementation. IBM Cognos 8 BI is based on an architecture that internalizes these styles of analysis and ensures appropriate tools are available to fit the workflows of each target role. IBM Cognos solutions support all different styles of analysis to fit the needs of all users.

Analytical reporting for all users

IBM Cognos 8 BI takes tools previously reserved for power users and makes them accessible in the organization's mainstream. Putting greater analytical capability into the hands of all users empowers them to deliver more effectively within the context of their respective roles and frees up specialists for more value-added contributions.

Simple analysis performed by a wide range of stakeholders throughout the organization, many of whom would not typically view themselves as fully trained users of traditional BI solutions.

Provide a basic level of additional insight to a particular performance metric, to answer a straightforward question that doesn't necessarily require invasive analysis.

By leveraging guided analysis that allows straightforward drill-through, the user can understand what's driving these results – and can more effectively explain this to leaders and other stakeholders.

Additional analysis can be managed without significant additional overhead, and questions can be answered more quickly and precisely.

Trending for managers and analysts

IBM Cognos 8 BI gives business and financial analysts the ability to bridge the needs of business and technical teams and provide an optimal level of business-driven analysis.

Streamlined report generation capabilities allow and financial analysts to spend less time building different reports for different audiences – which frees them to allocate more time to communicating the results to their various stakeholders.

Analysis performed by a broad range of business managers and business and financial analysts that is somewhat more advanced than the simple answers sought by regular users across the organization.

Allows business managers to better understand how they are performing relative to baseline, where variances may be occurring, and why they may be occurring.

Trending examines the underlying factors that drive organizational performance, and requires improved access to a wider range of data resources.

By comparing the results against other product lines from elsewhere in the organization – as well as against industry figures from external data sources – the manager can place the performance in context and better understand what the figures mean, and what that meaning implies for a potential organizational response.

Greater capability to examine a wider range of data drivers to better explain organizational performance can significantly enhance the average business manager's ability to manage resources to a given plan.

Enhanced ability to independently analyze why certain results are being realized allows more precise management over time and reduces the risk that sub-par performance will be missed until it is too late to resolve.

Scenario modeling for business and financial analysts

IBM Cognos BI streamlines the analytical process and empowers the analyst to conduct more iterations more quickly – which increases analytical precision – and allows more relevant comparison with similar scenarios thanks to greater access to data stores wherever they may live and whatever form they're in.

A more specialized level of analysis performed by business and financial analysts.

Incorporates analysis of a broader range of alternative scenarios to help analysts begin building what-if-type projections.

Allows "what-if" analysis, side-by-side comparisons of a variety of tactics that could include modifying the existing product mix, pursuing new geographic markets, introducing a new marketing campaign or even tweaking the supply chain to better match supply to demand

Increases the depth of analysis, reduces turnaround time by improving access to existing and new sources of internal and external data will drive their effectiveness in these pivotal roles.

Predictive modeling for business and financial analysts

Deeper analysis of past performance is emerging as a key means of understanding future performance – and of organizational planning. The level of analysis required to tighten this planning process is rapidly deepening and broadening. Analysts must assess larger pools of historical data and they must do so across silos that formerly limited the breadth and depth of analysis.

Analyze past performance at a detail level to more effectively plan future strategies and tactics.

Moves what-if analysis of scenario modeling into broader what-might-be-type analyses as well.

Identifies organizational resource availability, impacts and constraints associated with each identified scenario.

Projects the organization forward and benchmarks it based on anticipated performance under each scenario.

Helps guide and inform strategic decision making at the highest levels of the organization.

Evolved forecasting is more critical than ever before as business cycles accelerate and influencing factors on organizational performance become less predictable.

Would be interested to hear what number they have gotten up to so far when the book turns up. My guess would be around about the 300 mark, maybe slightly lower.
Can't see a great deal more being sold in the current climate, but the price is certainly good for US customers at this point, whilst the USD is artificially high.

Super Deluxe Children of Hurin - Great Price for U.S. Collectors!
Home away from home

I just picked up another copy of the Signed Limited Deluxe Children of Hurin from the Tolkien.co.uk website. As most of you know, they are now making it available to U.S. customers. It may be a blessing in disguise that this was not previously available in the U.S. since the dollar has gotten much stronger against the pound recently than it was back when the book was first released (it was 2:1 back then!). There is also a 10% off coupon code available now (TOLK01). That brings the price down to GBP 315.00 + GBP 5.00 shipping. At today's exchange rate, that is less than $500.00. I believe that is an excellent deal for a fully leather bound book signed by both Christopher Tolkien and Alan Lee. If you have the cash now, this is great investment. I would expect that these won't be around for retail sale much longer (however, the poor economy probably will hinder sales, so I may be wrong).
A quick word about using the coupon code.... I tried to use it and it gave an error message saying that the code was invalid. However, after deleting it and progressing to checkout, the 10% discount was applied and the transaction was successful.
I don't mean to sound like a saleman for Harper Collins, but having already owned a copy of this book and knowing how much I enjoy it, I want to make sure that anyone else who might love this book gets an opportunity to pick it up at possibly the best price it will be before it is sold-out.

The only difference is that it will be signed and numbered by Alan Lee. Other than the hand-writing will be identical and twenty pounds more expensive than Amazon. For the sake of the extra GBP20, I would say it's probably worth getting a signed copy, but I wouldn't be paying much more than that - especially as Alan Lee signs so many books at events, anyway.
With regards to keeping your Amazon order open, I cancelled mine...:)

Army supports summer career camp
July 28, 2010
By Edgewood Chemical Biological Center Public Affairs
Story Highlights
- Edgewood Chemical Biological Center enhances Joppatowne High School's summer career camp
Related Links
Adding excitement to JHS's one-week summer career camp, workforce members of the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center offered 17 ninth- to 12th-grade students a tour of the Center's facilities June 23. The following day, ECBC scientists engaged JHS students in CSI: Joppatowne, a series of hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics activities customized to the school's Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Program.
"We have enjoyed a wonderful partnership with ECBC's Community and Educational Outreach Program Manager Mary Doak over the past two years. She has been great in taking every one of our requests seriously," said Zackery Lovelace, JHS summer career camp coordinator. "ECBC has provided us with opportunities that we couldn't get anywhere else such as showing our students U.S. Army laboratories.
ECBC's Directorate of Program Integration Executive Officer Eric Stevens opened the tour welcoming the group of JHS students at the Center's Advanced Design and Manufacturing Facility and highlighting ECBC's dire need for a highly skilled STEM workforce in the future.
"As a result of the Base Realignment and Closure implementation, there are approximately 7,000 jobs coming to the area that will provide you exciting career opportunities." Stevens said. "We will need a large workforce in STEM-related career fields as well as operational support to counter chemical biological radiological nuclear explosive threats."
ECBC Computer Scientist Jeffrey Warwick, who leads the Conceptual Modeling and Animation branch within the ADM Division, talked about some exciting career pathways that could enable students to turn their hobby into a rewarding profession at the Center.
"We [artists and computer scientists] create movies and video games to accurately explain concepts and processes to our customers. Then, we collaborate with our engineers for the rapid development of prototypes," Warwick said. "Within only three weeks, the ADM team designed, built, and began testing a gripping claw to enhance the capability of the Buffalo Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Route Clearance Vehicle."
After visiting the Center's Protection Factor Test Facility, designed to evaluate chemical protective capabilities of respirator systems such as masks, the JHS group toured the Mobile Lab Design and Development area.
At this part of the Center, ECBC Mechanical Engineer George Noya and Biologist Carrie Poore, Ph.D. showed students an ECBC mobile laboratory from the inside and demonstrated mission-critical equipment such as portable gloveboxes and filtration systems. They also explained how
mobile laboratories help the warfighter make fast decisions with a positive impact on the battlefield.
"Mobile labs are deployable military assets that enable U.S. Armed Forces to perform on-the-spot analysis anywhere in the world," Poore said. "For soldiers to get the answers they need in theater, the ability to collect samples and receive a 24-hour assessment of an unknown agent
is essential."
Supported by the National Defense Education Program and as an additional part of JHS's summer career camp, ECBC scientists turned JHS classrooms into a CSI:Joppatowne setting and engaged summer career camp participants in STEM experiments.
ECBC Mechanical Engineer Phillip Wilcox, Research Biologists Saumil Shah and Lisa Smith and Branch Chief of Chemical Analysis Physical Properties Michael Ellzy, Ph.D. started the educational investigation with a briefing about the areas that form the foundation of ECBC's research, development and engineering efforts, detection, protection and decontamination.
JHS students rotated through three ECBC-themed work stations that included the Hazard Response and Presumptive Identification Station; the DNA Extraction and Gel Electrophoresis Station; and the Surface Tension, Surfactants and Oil Spill Station. At each station, the Center's scientists addressed everyday challenges they face within their area of expertise and the type of equipment and approaches they use to deliver solutions against potential chemical biological threats.
"I thought this [CSI:Joppatowne] was awesome, especially since I enjoy working with machines," said JHS student Tyler Wilson. "Also, walking through ECBC buildings was a great experience."
The close collaboration between JHS and ECBC resulted in a successful educational outreach effort that taught students about exciting STEM opportunities in their backyard.
"I think I can speak for all of us when saying that you were a wonderful group to work with," Doak addressed the students. "And, I would like to emphasize how rewarding a career with the government can be."
"As our scientists also have every-day jobs and work in demanding positions, I am very grateful for their time and work with CSI: Joppatowne today," she added.
Lovelace was very thankful for the opportunity to visit ECBC facilities with his summer career camp and to host the ECBC workforce members who investigated STEM-related challenges with JHS students.
"Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity," he wrote. "It was awesome and the students loved it. I always look forward to working with you."

I just received a quote to reroof my home in michigan using bp canada shingles. Online reviews show a lot of dissatisfied customers. Any body recommend this brand of shingle? I was told they have a 40 year warranty.
Im from Michigan also I would go with Certainteed. I have tested them against wind at higher rated and they withstood more than they were supposed to. A landmark 30 is a very good shingle. BP Shingle i do not care for never used them but had them torn off due to issues with the shingles. The GAF is also a good shingle but i have only sold Certainteed since it is something i could stand behind and trust. They are not sold at home depot or lowes. So in my opinion Certainteed is a professionals shingle not a sell out. Hope this helps.
We were using BP last year on some jobs. I think they stoped making the organic ones.
They are the worst shingle IMO
There Everest fiberglass base laminates seemed OK. It was about 10 dollars per square cheeper than GAF and Certainteed :? can you say "colusion"
crap up here in BC
They dont sell the everlast up here J Just IKO GAF and Certainteed, BP if your up for it. Me Certainteed.
Most of our shingle jobs are GAF. somtimes I will use the other ones. I have tried them all one time or another. I dont like how they have spiked there prices .
Is anyone making the organic shingle anymore? I have the BP organic from 2000 which are crumbling and BP is fighting me...i'm preparing for a deposition with them (taking a break!) so any information would be helpful. Depostion is in Sept and court date in Oct. yikes!
Let us know how you make out with them. remember there is strenth in numbers. I was told they no longer make organic, it is a thing of the past.
Cannot, should not and will not recommend these BP shingles
I consider BP (and IKO) to be a DIY Special, only because very few professionals I know would install them.
If and when you beat them, replace with Certainteed or GAF.
I agree with gtp1003 just use Certainteed
Buyer Beware!! Our bad experience with BP Canada:
My father purchased BP Canada shingles with a 25 year warranty. He lives in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. This is the letter we sent to them in May 2010 to which we have had no reply:
"New shingles were installed on my father's roof by B&B Siding & Roofing Ltd on July 30, 1999. For the past two years, my father has been dealing with B&B regarding his defective shingles (pictures were attached showing the shingles clawing and deteriorating). After frequent requests, a visit was made by representatives from your company, one of them being (name removed). My father was told that a sample would be taken and sent to your laboratory and he would be advised of the results. December 8, 2009 a letter was sent indicating the lab results showed that no deficiencies were found. As there was a slight language barrier, I have now taken over dealing with this issue. On May 11, 2010, I contacted BP at the 1-800 number provided on the card requesting to speak with (name removed) and was told that he was unavailable. I was also told that if I provide the file number, the person on the other end of the phone would try to assist as best as possible. Upon providing the file number, he advised that the file indicated a sample was supposed to be taken and sent to the lab, but wasn't, and that a message would be relayed to (name removed) to address this matter and to return my call. This information completely contradicts the December 8th letter. This is very unprofessional to say the least. To date, I have not as yet received a return call. Regardless, as you can see from the pictures, these shingles would not be acceptable by anybody's standards.
Please accept this letter as a demand to have these shingles replaced and installed at today's market value. If not resolved by June 30, 2010, legal action will commence."
We never received any response.
IKO and BP sold organic shingles much longer than Certainteed and GAF and many other manufacturers which probably was not a good idea. IKO and BP Fiberglass products are as good as any of the other manufacturers products. The fact that they are Canadian may have something to do with some people not liking them.
Certainteed and GAF have had some really bad warranty issues in the past as well. I am not saying they are bad. I actually prefer certainted shingles.
If you look hard enough on the internet you will find class action suits against all of the manufacturers. If BP and IKO had stopped making the organic earlier they would have saved themselves a lot of problems. We use IKO fiberglass products and have not had any problems in the 7 or 8 years we have used them.
A huge problem with IKO shingles are the inconsistency of them(different widths,lengths,dropped sawteeth,etc...)It makes them alot harder to keep straight.I think their 30 yr is one of the thickest on the market and they seal pretty quick.Its their quality control(imo)or lack their of,that bothers me.
Never used BP or IKO but what about ATlas
BP= Big Problem. Used them on two jobs,told estimator to throw out sample board and Never ever ever selloffer these again.

Unrated. 93 minutes. At the Sie FilmCenter.
"Inescapable" is like "Taken" without the tension.
Another daughter has gone missing, this time in Damascus, Syria. Her father, Adib Abdel Kareem (Alexander Siddig), is a former spy. About the only difference between "Inescapable" and the popular Liam Neeson action thriller, is that the kidnapping is driven by retribution rather than chance — well, that and a long string of dramatic, and fatal, flaws.
It's a disappointing third film for Canadian writer-director Ruba Nadda, who showed such surety in the sultry romantic heat of "Cairo Time." One hopes "Inescapable" is only a momentary stumble for this promising filmmaker.
Even its star, the wonderful Siddig, who was the seductive stranger escorting Patricia Clarkson through "Cairo," seems uncharacteristically unsettled — at times overwrought, as you might expect a father in his situation to be, at times unexplainably lethargic. As he searches the streets, markets and dark corridors of Damascus, the actor, more than the character, seems a man out of time.
The film begins in Toronto where Kareem and his family now live. He appears to be an executive, we're told something more specific later but it's a throwaway line like too much else in the script. The younger daughter is around college age; the one that's gone missing is Emily (Bonnie Lee Bouman), a photographer who has been shooting her way across Europe until she detours to Damascus to look into dad's secretive past. All of this we find out after the fact — Emily is seen for little more than a few seconds on Skype.
A slightly agitated man turns up at Kareem's office bearing bad tidings. From their brief exchange it seems dad had him shadowing Emily but apparently didn't make it clear that if something happened, he should be told right away. By the time Kareem hears of the kidnapping, it's been six days.
Some mystery is fine. A morass is quite another matter. Without telling his wife their child is missing, or anything really, Kareem heads for Syria and back into the world of spy-craft, reaching out to his former compatriots. It's been 20 years or so. They are angry.
First up is Fatima (Marisa Tomei). She was apparently Kareem's onetime love as well as another operative. This very versatile actress is given little to do beyond become a reluctant sidekick, driving him around the city and occasionally turning her heavily kohled eyes in his direction and breaking her silence long enough to spit out a few recriminations about leaving her behind.
Next is the nearly monosyllabic Saad (Oded Fehr), all of the charisma of his savvy, sexy spy on USA's "Covert Affairs" has been leeched away. He's with the Syrian intelligence agency, has a chest-full of medals and no personality.
Finally, the sort-of-desperate father drops by the Canadian consulate where he meets with one of the higher-ups, but not so high up as to be old. Paul (Joshua Jackson) seems to know more about Emily's whereabouts than he's letting on.
There are a few clandestine meetings, mostly unexplained; a few run-ins with tough guys in suits — maybe other spies? They have questions. No one has answers. Meanwhile bits and pieces of Kareem's spy days get tossed out like crumbs for pigeons, but serve only to frustrate rather than satiate.
"Inescapable" is almost unfathomable, with so little interior logic that you're often left, like Fatima, screaming through gritted teeth, "But why?"

Hedge Funds Heart Google
TheStreet) -- Hedge funds used to love Apple (AAPL - Get Report). Now it's Google's (AAPL - Get Report) turn to be top dog. Research from Citi Investment Research shows that the search giant took the top holding spot in the top 50 actively managed US mutual funds ending the fourth quarter. Google also claimed top spot in hedge fund holdings. Sixteen of the largest fifty hedge funds held Google as their top holding as of the end of the fourth quarter, up from 15 in the third quarter.Even though Google was a top holding in the fourth quarter, its shares didn't perform well. Shares fell 6.2% in the period from Sept. 28 to Dec. 31, but have fared much better recently. From Dec. 31 through March 4, Google was up 16.1%. In contrast, Apple share decline has been mirrored by its weighting with hedge funds. Apple was the top holding in 23 of the top 50 hedge funds during the third quarter, but is now the top spot in just 10 funds. Shares of Apple fell 20.2% in the period from Sept. 28 to Dec. 31, and have lost another 21.1% of their value from Dec. 31 through March 4. Another analyst, however, cites AIG (AIG) as the most popular hedge fund holding. Goldman Sachs recently came out with a report surveying a greater number of funds, which cited AIG as the top holding. According to Citi's chart, AIG was the second most popular holding, claiming top position at 13 of the largest hedge funds, up from 10 in the third quarter. News Corp. came in third place, according to the chart, with 11 funds holding it in the top spot, up from 8 in the third quarter. The biggest gainer was Netflix (NFLX - Get Report), which took the top place in 4 of the top 50 funds in the fourth quarter, up from none in the third quarter. As a result, Netflix shares have enjoyed incredible appreciation in both the fourth quarter and since Dec. 31. Shares of the online entertainment company surged 70.1% from Sept. 28 to Dec. 31, and have climbed even more, gaining 95.7% from Dec. 31 through March 4. Of the top 30 most widely held sectors, Consumer Discretionary was the top holding, with 26.7%. Information Technology also had 26.7% of the weighting. Energy and Financials both held 13.3% weightings, with Consumer Staples rounding out the top 5 with 10% of the weighting. Healthcare and Telecommunication Services accounted for the remaining 10%, with 6.7% and 3.3% respectively. Below is the table from Citi's report, showing all the holdings.NEW YORK (

Cuomo Ends Hypothetical 2016 Presidential Bid
Plus, a preview of the 2024 race.
Andrew Cuomo may be the first person to drop out of the 2016 presidential race, though technically no one is running yet. Cuomo has said he isn't even thinking about 2016 on numerous occasions, though that hasn't put a stop to the speculation, particularly from his dad. Now a source says he's resigned himself to the fact that he's losing the race that currently only exists in political junkies' minds. "The governor has told people in recent weeks that there's not a chance for him to run if Hillary gets in the race because she'll easily wrap up the Democratic nomination,'' a Cuomo administration insider tells the Post. "He knows that and he accepts that, and so he won't even be thinking at all in those terms — unless Hillary decides not to run, which seems unlikely."
Fortunately, people can start pinning their hopes for the (extremely distant) future on another New York politician. Politico has a lengthy article on New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who is "quietly building a résumé that would allow her to be taken seriously should she ever decide to run for president." Gillibrand, who holds Clinton's former seat, won't be running in 2016 either — or anytime soon. Politico notes that Gillibrand has both Clinton and Cuomo standing in her way, and she's relatively unknown nationally. However, "Remove those issues, and she would be seen as a first-tier presidential candidate by most metrics — especially at a time when both parties are eager to find strong female prospects for the White House." It's beginning to look like Gillibrand could be a major player in 2024, presuming no other issues arise in the next decade or so.

Skip to main content
I am 23. I started having sex with my boyfriend of 7 months at age 17. I was raised Christian, have stayed in the church until now but am seriously questioning what I believe. Ever since I first started having sex I have never been completely ok with it, always wondering whether I was doing something wrong or whether it was even ok. I would often feel extremely guilty once I reached the point of orgasm because it was like that was the time that I realized that I had given in to my desires and have done something wrong-again. (I had/have these same guilt feelings whenever I masturbate which I remember from age 12.) After the high school boyfriend I had sex with someone else a few years later but that one doesn't affect me nearly as much. A few years after that I met my now spouse. We started having sex after a few months and I always questioned whether what we were doing was ok or not, but I still wanted sex and I still enjoyed it. We got married a year ago and now I just cant enjoy sex at all. I just don't want to. When we do have sex it does feel good but not great and I feel like I am being punished for having sex before marriage. I also had a lot of pain starting close to when we got married and I eventually learned I had trich. So I don't know if I am now terrified of that happening again too? (even though we were both treated and I am supposedly cured) I have a great partner: he isn't pressuring me to get better and really wants me to be truly wanting sex otherwise he doesn't want it either. But I know he is getting anxious. How can I let go of the guilt that I have had for half my life? How can I enjoy sex again? What is wrong with me? I've discussed the spirituality aspects with several ministers and none of them think God is punishing me or that I have done anything wrong. I am also currently in counseling and we have talked at length about this sex issue and she is stumped too. I am ready to let go of this and move on but I just can't. Where should I go from here? Or should I just realize that there is no more sex in this life for me?
Can you explain to me what love is please? How does one feel? Can you describe the effects for me? or, is it the kind of thing you just have to know? Does it go away? Or is it something permanent? I think that I am falling in love with my boyfriend.
He is a senior, and I am a junior. Next year he is going off to college, most likely a really prestigious one far away. We have been going out for only about 4 months, but we have known each other for a few years, and in the last 4 months we have spent so much time together (pretty much every minute) it feels like it has been much longer.
We recently had sex for the first time (first time for me, not for him), and several times since the first time. I have to say, I'm not crazy about it yet, but what I am crazy about is the connection it makes me feel between the two of us. He is extremely considerate of how I feel during sex, and he wants me to figure out what I like. He is so caring and sensitive to how I feel, and we have talked about sex and our relationship a lot, and how sex will affect our relationship and emotions. I like having sex, and I love the time we spend together. We have talked about love, and how we don't really understand what it is, but agree that we definitely have a deep connection. But I'm afraid that my feelings for him are going to become too intense, and I am going to fall in love with him, and then he is going to go off to college and my heart will break (I know, that sounds cliche).
We have talked about love, and I think we both said we feel like were falling slowly, even if we don't completely understand it, like, what it really means. He says "lets fall, but not fall too hard," and I agree, I don't know if I can handle the raw emotion of love. After we have sex, I feel elated, but later, when he leaves, I feel depressed because I know that he is going to leave the city after high school, and then our relationship will be over and I wont feel this connection any more. Am I just overthinking this whole thing?
Am I/is he/is she/is this/are we normal?
I'm 17, male, and have considered myself bisexual for 2 years now. I find myself emotionally attracted to women and sexually attracted to men. I like women in a certain way, I like to be in relationships with them. I see myself having kids, many in fact. But I'm not feeling sexually attracted to them, except for a few but can't find myself to have sex with them. As for men, I like them almost strictly sexually. Even if I didn't enjoy the sex, half the times I couldn't get hard with men, I prefer it and don't feel scared to. But when I try to be with them emotionally, I'm just not that into it. I don't feel like I put any limits on myself, for I have tried.
What does this mean? I won't limit myself to one gender but I'd like to feel for them equally in order to find the right person for me. What do you think? Please help.
Although I feel a little ridiculous asking this considering I should be more openminded towards sexuality and experimentation, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I started dating a man 10 months ago. I'm 18, he turned 26 around three weeks ago. He was married before, and she left because of her claiming to have been bored in bed and in general. Since the beginning of our relationship, I stated that I am bisexual and have been as long as I could remember. I asked him about his orientation and he told me that he was straight. No rushed answer, no hysteria. So, I believed him.
Months later--two months ago almost--I mentioned that I had heard that one of his friends had had a gay encounter. He shrugged and told me that he himself had experimented when he was 16, and had sex with another guy from school. He had anal sex, oral sex, and watched straight and transgender porn with the other boy (claiming the transgender porn belonged to the friend). He told me he couldn't kiss the other guy, because he felt repulsed, yet was able to perform oral sex on him.
For as long as I can remember, I have been turned on my imagining my own pain and humiliation. I am going out with someone for the first time now, and we've been together for almost eight months. Recently we've started experimenting with very mild SM-type things--tying each other up, biting, spanking. I love it, and so does he. But is this normal? Should I be worried that this turns me on more than anything else we've done together? Is there something wrong with me? (I've never been abused). And can I still be a feminist if I get off on being dominated by men?

Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn previews ...
Stacy Lewis watches her drive off the 18th tee Wednesday, June 25, 2014 as she participates in the Pro-Am round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers.
Entering the day seven strokes behind the leader, Stacy Lewis needed a big day to get back in contention for the Women's British Open at Royal Birkdale Country Club.
The former Arkansas and current world No. 1 golfer did just that Saturday, firing a 2-under 70 to move into a seven-way tie for seventh place. She is three shots behind the leader.
Her round included four birdies and only two bogeys.
World No. 3 Inbee Park leads the tournament at 4-under after shooting third-round 68. The 36-hole leader, Mo Martin, struggled Saturday. She shot a 5-over 77 to fall to 1-under and into the seven-way tie with Lewis.

So buy a ticket and dance the night away in remembrance of these two talented men.

It was so easy to work with Shawna. She seemed to just know exactly what I needed. Not even my best friend could give me the right kind of advice about paint colors that would work with my dark cave of a house. Shawna nailed it in just an hour … She's awesome!
The drawings you did were awesome ... we showed them to all of our friends, our parents, everyone who came over to the house. Just having them to look at got us so excited for our bathroom remodel that the first day of tear-out felt like we were throwing a party, lol! And the result? Nothing short of spectacular ... very Zen, just like we wanted.
I have one of Love + Home's pieces, Bobby, in my bed room. Great work, classy re-imagining of an old school desk.
Our kitchen was in serious need of an update. Shawna provided creativity, knew local resources, made good suggestions, showed us samples and lead us through a wonderful transition with which we are totally happy. Thank you, Shawna!
You did an amazing job! We're so happy with our new room! We loved working with you and would hire you again ...
So exciting to have some of our old pieces come back to life in the next generation ... Thanks much for making this a reality !!!
My home is nothing short of spectacular thanks to Shawna. I used to feel so helpless and lost when I looked around my bedroom and kitchen. But the Design Plan package was affordable, even for me, and it was so easy to implement Shawna's design. Now all I feel when I look around is relief … and happy!
You truly have a gift ... I'm in love with the vision you had for my bathroom. It's truly a place where I feel alive and at peace now.
This is so awesome — thank you, thank you, thank you! I already can't wait to begin implementing your thoughts. I SOOOOO appreciate the sketches for my photo layouts and love the fabric choices you found. I feel well-armed, and I appreciate it.

How long can my son and daughter share a room?
Our daughter is 2 years old, and I'm pregnant with our son. We live in a small house with only two bedrooms. We planned to have our little boy sleep in our room for the first six months and then share a bedroom with his sister. But some people have told me that siblings of the opposite sex shouldn't share a bedroom after the age of 2 or 3. Is this true?

We had a 2 bedroom house and so my 2 year old son and 3 month old daughter had to share a room. It took some getting used to on everyone's part but it turned out great. Then we moved into a 3 bedroom house and I was pregnant with daughter #2. We could have separated the boy and girls but chose to keep all 3 in the same room and it works great-all 3 sleep through the night most of the time. They learn to sleep through each others' coughs and crys and it makes bedtime a lot easier when everyone and everything is right there. They love it, and I can't imagine them not sharing a room though we do want more kids so the time will have to come eventually.posted 01/11/2005 by Mommywife
My son turned 3 two days after his sister was born, and from the time I was pregnant we talked about how they would share "their" room. It has never been a problem, and they both love being together. My son will be 4 and my daughter will be 1 next month, and I have no plans on changing the sleeping arrangement any time soon. Both of them find it hard to sleep if the other is not in there with them...the challange will present itself when she is in a bed, rather than a crib. That should be interesting!posted 01/11/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I would say there's nothing wrong with them sharing a room when they are still little- when they get around 7 or 8 and puberty starts becoming an issue I would say they definately need seperate bedrooms.posted 01/11/2005 by LoveChild421
We have 3 year old boy/girl twins that share a bedroom. One huge benefit is that they share toys so freely...they both play with trucks and they both play with dolls. I can't fathom why little children of the opposite sex would be discouraged from sharing a room-- what's the rationale? I'm certain that in a few years our twins won't want to share a room. But for now, it's wonderful to hear them chatting themselves to sleep and reassuring each other.posted 01/11/2005 by chambana_mom
I don't see a problem with it at all. My brother and I shared a room until I was eleven and he was thirteen. The only reason I was moved into my mom's room then was because I had started my period and my mom thought it was time to seperate us at that point. As long as you feel it is ok, then go ahead and do it. I didn't have any problems.posted 01/11/2005 by shahiay
My son turned 4 in November, and my daughter is 2 1/2. They have shared a room since their birth. At first I had no choice as to whether they shared a room. Now, they are in a situation where they can have separate rooms, and they told me they still want to share a room. So I have given my 5-month-old son a room of his own. :)posted 01/11/2005 by MommaOfDeesX3
We have a three bedroom house and three kids. My oldest dd is 13 and my middle dd is 4. We now have a baby boy. Once he starts sleeping through the night, he will be sharing a room with our 4 year-old. DH and I have decided that this is the best arrangement for now. We do not feel it would be fair to haver our 2 girls share a room because of the big age difference. Our 4 year-old's room is also much bigger than my oldest daughter's room, which is in the basement, and therefore not an option for the baby. You do what you need to do! Eventually, we will either buy a bigger house, or turn our dining room into a bedroom for our ds. But for now, I see no problem with our two youngest sharing a room for a few years.posted 01/11/2005 by jwygand
My dd and my ds have been sharing a room since my ds grew out of his bassinett. They are now 7yrsld and 5 soon to be 6yrsld. We are moving the rooms around soon and that is only because we had another child and she will be moving out of her bassinett very soon. They're kids for gods sake what would make this wrong?posted 01/11/2005 by moonlitdancer
I think it's fine. My brother and I shared a room until I was 12 and he was 9. We had alot of fun together (trying to watching TV passed our bedtime, sneaking sweets, etc) and it made for some very nice memories. I think it will only be a problem if you make it one.posted 01/11/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm 25, and i shared a room with my 2 older brothers until i was about 13 or 14 yrs old. It was never a problem for us. They did their thing and I did mine. Sure it was nice to finally get a room by myself, but I dont think you will have a problem. I'm actually in the same boat. My son will be 5 in March and my daughter will be born in June. We only have 2 bedrooms, also. So the baby is going to sleep in our room for a while. We are hoping to find a bigger place in a few years, but right now I'm not to worried about it. Don't worry, everything will be fine!!!!posted 01/11/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Answer this question

"Some people are meant to fall in love, but not meant to be together."
That's what they say, after what I've heard.
That's what they say and I believe in it.
"You're the one my soul has chosen"
those words are my own, and I believe in them as well.
But here's the thing; I believe in the first saying more.
I love you. I love you like there is no tomorrow and I haven't forgotten about you.
I will never forget about you.
But I have moved on.
I needed a life outside of you and now I have.
I miss you with all of my heart, but there's nothing I can do.
You see, I'm happy now. And even if I don't want to admit it, it's the truth.
I'm happy and I have another one to call mine. Someone else to call 'babe'.
I love him.
I love you.
But he's here and you are not.
I know we said forever so please do not hate me.
You know I'll always have you with me, even though I'm not yours anymore.
It's time for me to focus on how I feel for once.
Just a point in my life where I felt the need to write some of it off.
(I know I probably could've picked a better title, but I'm sick so give me a break :c )
(I know I probably could've picked a better title, but I'm sick so give me a break :c )
I love this
Nicely written~

I sure do agree and certainly this is going on with me now, surprisingly. I like what you wrote some people are meant to fall in love but not to be together forever. It's quite truth because anyone can make someone fall in love completely but it's the other person who isn't taking it so seriously. So despite the fact there are several heartbreaking souls who have gone through this same path.
In addition I really like it

Thank you so much! Especially for taking your time to comment, it really brightens my day even if the comment was about bad experiences, so to say.
Your very welcome,and yes indeed I sure did take the time to read it , and understand it. I glad it did.
Well most people experience differently which they in counter several unexpected things. Everyone goes through these things is common life

love is limitless . . . love is life . . . keep loving! this rocks!
I had a very similar situation to this several times. It's hard to deal with, but not impossible to muscle on through

Speaking without a hint of irony, Congressman Jared Polis, the gilded Democrat from Boulder, took to the House floor last month to denounce "corporations with their dollars, using them to confuse and trick people with their massive and misleading public relations attacks."
"We need to make it more difficult, not easier, for corporations to influence the United States Congress," Polis added in a statement that reflected his longtime schizophrenia toward the role of money in politics.
Money is corrupting, you see, but not when it's his money.
Political committees are to be spurned and condemned, but not when they're his committees.
Outside influence on politicians is often venal, but not when he generates it.
Lobbyists are "special interests" that must be strictly regulated and preferably muzzled, but not when the lobbyists are paid by Polis.
Just this week, The Denver Post's Burt Hubbard outlined how Polis' political committee, the Jared Polis Victory Fund, gave out more than $400,000 to fellow members of Congress and national campaign groups last year — nearly as much as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's PAC distributed.
Polis' goals are to some extent predictably political: the election of fellow liberal Democrats. But they are also unabashedly personal: Polis seeks to boost his own career. "It's an important part of growing a career as a leader here in Washington, D.C.," he told Hubbard about his activities.
So it's fine — noble, even — for a plutocrat to throw his money around in the pursuit of power, but it's grubby trickery for, say, a trade association to spend money opposing hostile candidates or defending themselves from legislative assaults upon their very livelihoods.
Likewise, apparently, it's fine for Polis to purchase influence — which is what he has done his entire adult life — but a cause for alarm when real estate agents or physicians or gun owners band together to try to do the same.
Polis' trek toward his present perch began 10 years ago, when he spent a breathtaking $1.2 million to buy himself a seat on the state Board of Education. In 2008, he would dump more than $5 million of his fortune into his congressional campaign while criticizing his main opponent, who lacked his limitless resources, for taking money from political action committees.
Earlier in his career, he voiced support for draconian restrictions on contributions to state candidates while funneling money into independent committees set up to influence the same elections.
He helped bankroll Amendment 41 in 2006 because of his lurid fear that "special interests are financing a lobbying boom in Colorado," and then, after the amendment passed, led a group that spent $150,000 on lobbyists, lawyers and consultants to shape the enabling legislation.
In his speech last month on the House floor, Polis warned against a hypothetical bank spending "an enormous amount of money" trying to punish a lawmaker it didn't like. Never mind that his Amendment 41 coalition ran radio ads in 2007 to punish the Senate president for allegedly balking at a legislative fix for his atrociously written measure after it passed. More remarkably, he personally warned House Minority Leader Mike May that political groups could finance attack ads against lawmakers who defied his coalition's wishes. Even his own lobbyist acknowledged "a legislator could have interpreted Jared's remarks as a threat," while naturally assuring a reporter that they were "not so intended."
The congressman is much distressed by the influence of moneyed interests. Yet he has consistently been willing to make an exception for the one moneyed interest dedicated to the advancement of Jared Polis.
Everyone draws the line somewhere, I suppose.

Stansted in Essex has in recent months been hampered with roadworks but when we were last here they seemed to have cleared a lot.
We normally stay at The Hilton the night before we fly but we have also stayed at Downs Hall a few miles from the airport.
The airport itself is efficiently run and has a few eating and drinking places to while away the time if waiting for a flight.
Newly opened is the SAS Raddison hotel (see seperate tip)
Budget airlines such as Easyjet, Ryanair and Air Berlin all use the airport at Sansted.
- In a nutshell:Just another airport

IOWA CITY, Iowa- Four Seminoles earned top six finishes at the U.S. Winter National Championships in Iowa City, Iowa. Seniors Landon Marzullo and Jordan Horsley teamed up to place fourth in the three-meter synchronized final while brothers Michael and Thomas Neubacher finished sixth.
"Our guys dove about as well as they could have today," diving coach Patrick Jeffrey said. "I though that they stepped up a level at this competition and performed in a way I've never seen before."
Marzullo and Horsley earned a six dive total of 381.66 which was just two points out of third position. The Neubacher brothers scored 348.96 points to earn sixth. The younger Neubacher, Thomas also placed 11th in the three-meter individual event (387.45).
"I was really proud of the way Thomas dove today," Jeffrey said. "His degree of difficulty isn't as high as some other divers, but he was just so consistent."
Three Seminoles will compete on the platform on the final day of competition on Sunday. Michael Neubacher, Marzullo and sophomore Nick Klein will look to make the finals in the meet's final event.

Barska® GLX Red Laser Sight with Built - in Mount and Rail hones your aim for a dead - center shot!
BARSKA's GLX compact mounted laser sights are designed with an accessory rail mounted conveniently under the laser. The T6 aluminum body allows for the GLX laser sight to provide a strong, stable platform to mount accessories to its integrated military standard picatinny rail. The GLX compact laser sight is extremely versatile in its mounting options. The built-in mount is a weaver standard compact mount with a stabilizing cross bar insert for added support. The compact mount allows secure mounting to the shortest of rails on handguns and rifles. Using newly developed high impact rated 5 mW compact laser diodes BARSKA has developed two compact laser models.
This model emits a highly visible red laser beam that produces red 635 nm wavelength light which is highly visible to the human eye. BARSKA has designed the GLX compact laser sight to withstand extremely high impact shock generated by large caliber rifles and hand guns. The GLX laser finds itself equally at home on a rifles picatinny rail forends as it is on a handguns bottom rail. The GLX compact laser has a easy accessible on / off slide switch ideal for hand guns. The slide switch can also be bypassed by adding a cable pressure switch which is securely screwed to the back of the laser. Standard windage and elevation adjustments are accessible externally on the front side and bottom of the laser. Powered by a high capacity CR-123A lithium battery (1pc battery included) the GLX compact laser can emit a high intensity laser beam constantly for accurate targeting. Weighs 5.6 ozs. Measures 2 4/ 5 " long.

This probably has a very simple answer, but I'm having trouble figuring it out...
What is a vector-based way to take one value in the cell of one column in a dataframe, conditional on some criterion in a given row being satisfied, and assign it to a cell along the same row but in a different column? I've done it with loops over if-else statements, but I'm working with pretty big data sets, and my little laptop freezes for many minutes going through the looping conditionals.
Eg. if I have sometihng like this:
Results$TResponseCorrect[Results$rownum %in% CorrectTs$rownum] <- 1
that works fine. But what doesn't work is something like
Results$TResponseCorrect[Results$rownum %in% CorrectTs$rownum] <- Results$TCorrect
In that case I get a warning saying, "number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length", which I basically take to mean that it can't figure out which cell of the Results$Subject column to take.

The sinking of a South Korean naval vessel earlier this year has put the Korean Peninsula on a war footing. An international commission recently determined that a North Korean torpedo killed 46 South Korean sailors aboard the Cheonan.
This is a time for the United Statesto stand up for its longtime ally. The best way we can do this - and also take a concrete step that will have a real rather than symbolic impact - is for Congress to pass the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement. Now.
The George W. Bush administration concluded the deal with South Korean leaders in 2007. Congress promptly ignored an obligation to hold an up-or-down vote. In doing so, lawmakers ignored their own legislative rules. They also broke a promise to trade diplomats who had negotiated the deal with the expectation that Washington at least would give them a hearing.
This is no way to treat a friend.
When it comes to delays and denials, members of Congress are specialists. Yet even by Washington standards, this trade deal with an important ally has languished for too long. The three-year anniversary of its completion is at the end of this month.
President Obama has announced that he would like to see this pact approved. His administration could do more to make sure that happens. Last month, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk met with his South Korean counterpart, Kim Jong-hoon. Mr. Kirk said he was committed to addressing the agreement's outstanding issues and finishing the deal. Afterward, when Mr. Kim was asked if the Americans had requested specific changes that would allow the agreement to succeed, he replied: "My phone has not yet rung," according to The Washington Times.
Would someone in Washington please pick up the phone and call our allies in Seoul?
Trade has the power to promote peace. That's why I've supported small steps to bring the two Koreas together through exchanges such as the partnership at theKaesong Industrial Complex north of the demilitarized zone. The regime in Pyongyang may be one of the world's most oppressive, but I've always believed that economic integration is preferable to economic isolation.
Now the limited trade ties between the two nations are severed. In the face of this crisis, the U.S.-KoreaFree Trade Agreement makes more sense than ever before from a national security perspective.
Fortunately, it also makes sense from an economic perspective. The deal would fuel exports and create thousands of jobs for Americans. One estimate says new trade activity would boost our gross domestic product by $12 billion.
Farmers and ranchers certainly would see gains. We already sell about $2 billion in food to South Korea. Under the agreement, the tariffs on half of these products would vanish immediately.
Continuing to ignore the trade agreement is a bad idea. As much as the South Koreans would like to buy more American-made goods and services, they have not neglected the rest of the world while Washingtonhas dawdled. Seoul recently completed a set of trade talks with the European Union, and it's making rapid progress on a pact with Australia. There is talk of a Northeast Asia free-trade zone that would provide China and Japan with new advantages in selling to South Korean consumers.
If these competitors start to take market share from U.S. companies and workers, it will be a direct result of Washington's refusal to take trade seriously. (Wasn't it Nero who fiddled while Rome burned?)
"The U.S. runs the risk of losing the Korean market within a decade if we can't get a free-trade agreement ratified," said Jong-hyun Choi, minister for economic affairs for the South Korean Embassy, who met with global pork producers in Iowa last week, according to the Des Moines Register.
Many Democrats have resisted new trade measures, but not all of them. In fact, the U.S.-Korea agreement attracts strong levels of bipartisan support. Last month, Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana - the two top members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, urged Mr. Obama to press for the pact. They noted its economic benefits and also said its approval "would be considered a significant show of solidarity with a close and reliable ally."
Mr. Obama has talked up trade, but so far, his talk has not amounted to action. He came into office promising that his leadership would improve America's standing in the world. Right now, that means pushing for an economically responsible trade deal that would help a steadfast ally in a moment of crisis.
It should start with a simple phone call.
