It's Official! FSP President Carla Gericke's Speech from the Trigger the Move Press Conference
At 11AM this morning, Free State Project president Carla Gericke announced the FSP had reached its goal of recruiting 20,000 participants. Here is her speech from this morning's press conference held at the Radisson Hotel in the Queen City.
Five years ago, when I became president of the Free State Project after having organized two Porcupine Freedom Festivals, aka PorcFest, now one of the largest liberty gatherings in the world, the signer counter stood at nearly 11,000.
I calculated that all things being equal, we would Trigger the Move in 2018, and with 5 years for signers to move, it would be 2023--and I would be in my fifties!--before I would see the full effects of our historic mass migration movement. More...
Free State Project 'Triggers the Move': 20,000 Libertarians to Move to New Hampshire in Next 5 Years
What kind of impact will 20,000 liberty-loving people make when they move to a small state, like New Hampshire? The country will soon find out.
MANCHESTER, NH (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2016: As of today, The Free State Project is the most successful intentional migration movement in American history. This is because today the organization has announced that 20,000 participants have signed the Statement of Intent to move to New Hampshire, where they will "exert their fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of individuals' rights to life, liberty and property."
The 20,000 mark is significant, because it 'triggers the move' – the mass migration of the Free State Project participants who have all agreed to move to New Hampshire within the next five years. So far, almost 2,000 have already relocated to the state. More...
90% and Accelerating: The Free State Project Gets Ready to "Trigger The Move"
Over 18,000 Activists Have Pledged to Move to New Hampshire as Free State Project Approaches its Goal
The Free State Project is an unprecedented movement -- once 20,000 libertarians pledge to participate, it will "Trigger the Move," and they will make their way to New Hampshire within five years. The organization has now exceeded 90% of its goal with more than 18,000 pledged participants, and almost 2,000 "early movers" have already made New Hampshire their new home with fresh faces coming in every week.
"This is the culmination of a decade of work and we're just months away from reaching our 20,000 participant goal," says Carla Gericke, President of the Free State Project. "Early movers have purchased about $40 million in New Hampshire real estate, and many have brought businesses and jobs with them." More...
NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden to Headline Free State Project's Liberty Forum
MANCHESTER, NH: Edward Snowden, the former CIA intelligence officer and NSA contractor who leaked information about illegal government surveillance in 2013, is coming to New Hampshire–live from Russia–during the Free State Project's 9th Annual Liberty Forum.
Snowden's disclosures about the NSA illegally seizing the private records of billions of individuals who were not suspected of any wrongdoing launched a historic debate about national surveillance practices. Largely as a result of his efforts, the NSA's bulk collection of telephone metadata was ended just last week. More...

Love Liberty? New Film Gives 101 Reasons You Belong in New Hampshire
The Free State Project (FSP) started with an idea: if 20,000 libertarian activists could all move to one small state with a friendly culture, that would be enough to create true "Liberty In Our Lifetime." In 2003, New Hampshire was chosen. Since then, more than 16,000 people have signed the Statement of Intent to move when the target is hit – and over 1,600 participants have already made the move.
Today, two of these early movers have released an original documentary on the project, entitled 101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire, now available for free on Youtube.
The film is a love letter from these 21st century pioneers to their newfound home. It is told through the personal stories of fellow FSP participants and interviews with liberty's leading lights, including investor Peter Schiff, Food Inc.'s Joel Salatin, Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com, Nick Gillespie of Reason Magazine, and several more.

Free State Project Hits 75% of Its 20,000 Goal: On Target for Mass Migration to NH in 2015
The Free State Project, a mass migration movement to concentrate 20,000 liberty activists in New Hampshire is advancing to the finish line with more than 15,000 participants now signed up, with thousands moving ahead of schedule.
October 25, 2013 – Manchester, NH – Today, the Free State Project announced that 15,000 participants have now signed up to move to New Hampshire for more liberty. This mass migration movement aims to concentrate 20,000 liberty activists in the Live Free or Die state. At the current rate of sign-ups, the organization anticipates it will "Trigger the Move" in 2015, three years ahead of schedule.
"Reaching 75% of our goal is a major milestone," said FSP president, Carla Gericke. "I attribute the acceleration in sign ups to things like the NSA surveillance scandal, the TSA, the NDAA, the PATRIOT Act, Obamacare, unconstitutional gun control legislation, and the unwarranted wars under both Bush and Obama. As America devolves into a police state, well-informed people are seeking safe havens. The FSP offers a proven strategy for individuals who are looking for more liberty within a community of like-minded people." More...

With cities like Seattle and Los Angeles already adopting a $15 minimum wage, a greater push is being seen around the country to raise the minimum wage on state and federal levels, and a group of Texas Democrats has introduced measures pushing for just that.
In a state where the state minimum is by default the federal, and with 6.4 million Texans working for hourly rates and 2013's highest count of minimum wage workers, millions of Texans have the potential to be impacted by minimum wage hikes, and no doubt the state is in need of some serious reform to empower its hourly earners (much like the title loan reforms happening across the state), but an increase in minimum wage alone isn't a lasting solution.
The Seattle Example
Seattle was the first city to enact minimum wage hikes after an outcry from service workers, with a schedule that saw an increase to $11 an hour ($10 for tipped workers) with a plan to have a $15 minimum wage implemented by 2017 for some companies, and 2021 for all companies.
Opponents of the measure have argued that the increase will force them to raise prices and cut workers hours, and conflicting statistics have come out both in favor and against those arguments. In reality, it's far too soon to make accurate assessments on long-term employer actions based on the minimum wage increase. That's not to say impact can't be immediately seen, though.
Hourly restaurant workers in Seattle, especially those relying on tips as supplemental income, have seen their pay change. The city at large is fully aware of the wage increase, though, and public opinion views the matter more as a raise for industry workers than it does a cost of living adjustment. City residents have started tipping workers accordingly, with many restaurant employees already reporting a decrease in tip revenue, especially as those for $10 in tips will now become taxable rather than simply cash-in-pocket pay.
This puts a burden on the employer, too, who now has the responsibility of calculating tip income for each employee and making gap payments for workers who don't reach the minimum threshold. This new burden has caused delays in timely and accurate payment, leaving more workers susceptible to illegal underpaying, whether intentional or not.
The Potential Cons
Something needs to be clear before anyone starts arguing for or against minimum wage raises based on potential impacts – those potential things haven't happened yet. It would be faulty to say that these concerns are already proven facts, but they do represent real concerns on behalf of employers and employees.
Employers argue that increasing wages will force them to compensate for higher employee costs by cutting employee hours and/or number of overall employees. This concern is only fed by a Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago study stating that a 10% increase in the minimum wage lowers low skill employment by 2 to 4 percent.
Concern among employees comes in the form of increased competition. The fear is that an increase in minimum wage will have more overqualified workers competing for minimum wage jobs, forcing semi-skilled and unskilled employees out of their positions.
Core Problems That Aren't Addressed
Regardless of a raise for those actually making the minimum wage, there are problems that an increase in hourly pay doesn't address – poor policy and poverty.
The Pew Research Center found that in 2012, about 1.5 million Americans earned the minimum wage, but some 2 million people earning hourly wages were earning less than the federally mandated $7.25 due to exceptions to the Fair Labor Standards Act. These workers remain exempt regardless of state mandated wage increases unless measures are introduced to account for those workers, as well. An increase, alone, does not address policy concerns, and leaves more workers living without in a state where some workers are living with much more, effectively shrinking their ability to compete and participate in the economies around them.
It's also been argued that raising the minimum wage does little to alleviate poverty, as few full time hourly employees are impoverished in the truest sense of the word. A wage increase would simply allow some who are struggling but not necessarily in true need to struggle less.
Again, this comes down to policy issues, with advocates stating that creating more jobs is more important than raising wages for those who already have them. This, they argue, is a more impact solution when it comes to truly alleviating poverty.
Wage workers in Texas have every reason to call for an increase, but upping the minimum wage alone isn't an automatic fix. More inherent institutional issues and policy matters need addressing so that an eventual increase can be meaningful to both employers and employees, rather than a burden.

Several measures offer insights into Latinos' economic well-being and the ways in which it has changed over time and how it varies among Latino sub-groups. The project's research documents trends in income, poverty, homeownership and wealth with an emphasis on the impact of business cycles. Our reports on remittances explore the massive flow of dollars that links Hispanic immigrants with their families back home.
Also see our statistical portraits, state and county databases, demographic profiles and Census 2010 tables for data on the characteristics of the Latino and foreign-born populations in the United States.
Latino Jobs Growth Driven by U.S. Born
Immigrants No Longer the Majority of Hispanic Workers
Latinos Express Growing Confidence In Personal Finances, Nation's Direction
Characteristics of the 60 Largest Metropolitan Areas by Hispanic Population
Nearly half (45%) of the nation's Hispanic population lives in just 10 metropolitan areas and over 75% live in 60 of the largest Hispanic metropolitan areas, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The 10 Largest Hispanic Origin Groups: Characteristics, Rankings, Top Counties
Among the 50.7 million Hispanics in the United States, nearly two-thirds (65%), or 33 million, self-identify as being of Mexican origin, according to tabulations of the 2010 American Community Survey.
Hispanics Say They Have the Worst of a Bad Economy
A majority of Latinos believe that the economic downturn that began in 2007 has been harder on them than on any other ethnic group in America.
Hispanic Poverty Rate Highest In New Supplemental Census Measure
The poverty rate for Hispanics was 28.2% in 2010, higher than it was for blacks, non-Hispanic whites or Asians, and higher than the official poverty rate for Hispanics, 26.7%, reported by the Census Bureau.
Childhood Poverty Among Hispanics Sets Record, Leads Nation
The Toll of the Great Recession
Hispanic Household Wealth Fell by 66% from 2005 to 2009
The Toll of the Great Recession
After the Great Recession: Foreign Born Gain Jobs; Native Born Lose Jobs
In the year following the end of the Great Recession in June 2009, foreign-born workers gained 656,000 jobs while native-born workers lost 1.2 million. As a result, the unemployment rate fell for immigrants while it rose for the native born.
Latino Youths Optimistic But Beset by Problems
A national survey finds that Latinos from ages 16 to 25 are satisfied with their lives and optimistic about their futures. They value education, hard work and career success. But they are more likely than other youths to drop out of school, live in poverty and become teen parents.

A 30-amp full hook-up RV site for $10--amazing! This small park way out of town in the cornfields is hard to find, but worth the effort if you like bargains. We paid our camping fee at the nearby general store. When we arrived at the park, there were picnickers across the park playing baseball. But they left by 8:00 PM and it was very quiet all night with only one "long-term resident camper" in the back corner of the park. When we were packing up to leave early on Saturday morning, a travel trailer came in and hooked up to one of the full hookup spaces. Shortly thereafter, the wedding party arrived and began using the trailer as a dressing room. So, this is a popular, well-used park by the locals, but not so much by travelers. I would guess that some back-in full hookup or pull-through W&E sites would be available all the time. - fanrgs

Could be nice when, and if, the water level ever gets higher. Lake at 22% of capacity. Flies made sitting out untenable. Maybe earlier in the year would be better. The road getting in was an adventure for our 35 ft motor home. Very narrow, curvy and full of blind turns. Surrounding area is quite beautiful and rugged. Given all that, would definitely return. - Marv and Chris
Oct 2010 - $16.00
This park is much improved since last postings. There is no longer a store. Bring it with you. Park is well taken care of by rangers. In season there is a camp host. We've seen some pretty large RVs there, but the road in is quite a ride. It is paved all the way, but there is a steep grade up to the dam and some pretty sharp turns. Also, one must keep an eye out for rocks on the road. Park is nice grass, lots of shade, paved sites with picnic table and fire pit. Some sites can now be reserved. - leonardw
May 2006 - $11.00
This was a disappointing campground. The road in is treacherous. I was following my hubby who was driving a 37' MH. The road has two switchbacks that caused the back tires on the right to go OFF the road! Otherwise the road is narrow and curvy. It's not a road a large wide MH should be on. We called them before traveling and they said it would be no problem. They are WRONG! We stayed at the Indian Creek Campground. Dogs were allowed to run free. Children were not respectful of other's campsites nor property. Children that were underaged and not wearing helmets were riding 4 wheelers around the campground: on lawns, etc., and spewed dirt and gravel onto our pickup and boat. The store was not open during the hours they stated. The sign said "back in 5 minutes," was gone 1/2 hour. There were no garbage cans for us to use and only one bathroom that was hoarded by day users. This state campground is contracted out for the care and upkeep. For a state campground it is one of the worst we've been in. We will NOT be going back. - BDShultz

Goal number two has been met for the year. Sunday I rode 52.2 miles through the greater Stony Creek area in Dauphin, Lebanon, and Schuylkill counties. We took many pictures but only a handful turned out nice.
Yours truly
My friend Greg
Watch those ankles
A very loose section of trail.
Another stony crossing
We had lunch on the rail trail section
An interesting bit of local history. The pictures of the ruins were all blurred.
So thats about it, rode 52.2 miles, hiked a good two miles, and gave most my food to Greg because evidently he is much more sensitive to blood sugar levels than I am. I did the whole ride/hike on an apple and half a sandwich. It was an awesome ride and I look forward to doing it again, except without the Kenda Kross Plus tires, knobbies would have been appreciated on the looser sections.

First things first. She uses Gimp. She is 23, so not a kid. I think a parent at 100 would say "Hey look what my kid did!", even if that kid is 65.
I'm amazed at how easy it is for her, creative with a little humor. I tried to draw things too perfectly and couldn't. She justs seems smoosh things
around and comes out with acceptable work. She and her boyfriend come home late, eat everything in the house, sit and doodle to pass the time.
I'd find it in the garbage in the morning, pick it out and save it. Some of it is extremely funny, and good . I guess they have other interests.
It will be here for them someday.
Thanks for your kind words.

stomp pads
which do you prefer- the rubber/foam pads or the aluminum tracs?
3 Attachment(s)
I guess if you feel like using them (I haven't since I learned to carve)then the silicone nipple style are invisible-ish and work well.
Stomp pads = training wheels for the retarded.
some people just like the extra stability for their back foot getting off the lift and while skating. My board always has a pretty good amount of snow on the top of it by the time I get down the mountain and back to the lift. It's easier to just plant my boot on the stomp pad against my binding then try and keep my foot from sliding off with the snow.
Those really cheap rubber/foam stomp pads are awesome.
The best thing to do is cut them up so you can cover more area.
the one I got came cut in three pieces, didn't have to worry about cutting it up evenly.
EDIT: It's the DAkine modular pad, in red/black plaid.
They come in quite handy when getting off the lifts and skating, like previously mentioned. I use a black rubber-type one, but I've heard the ones with metal sticking up work better.
I guess I'm into mischieviousness. We also aren't supposed to wear or display other resorts logos.;)
I have one that says: ASPEN SNOWMASS SKI & SNOWBOARD RENTALS (heck, it's always covered with snow anyway). I did it more as a joke and to see if my co-workers would notice. :laugh: I wasn't the one to show up a lineup wearing a shirt with VAIL printed on both sleeves.:dunno:
No stomp pad here. Planting your foot right next to the back binding works just as well.
I've never used a stomp pad. Throwing one footed 3's is way better when you don't know if your gonna blow your back foot off on landing! Although my board last season had a matte finish on it which was kinda helpful.

Baillie was assistant coach at London 2012 but stepped up to the role of head coach following the departure of Dragan Djukic following the Games,
While handball captured the nation's imagination in the capital this failed to translate into results as both the men's and women's side left London 2012 having failed to record a single win.
This pattern continued in the men's team's first 2016 European Championship qualifier as they lost 43-14 to Greece in October as the side looked to adjust following a few faces deciding not to return following the Games.
However this Thursday sees the side get back out in front of a home crowd for the first time since the Olympics as they tackle Italy at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Centre.
And Baillie admits that while the class of 2013 might lack experience, they more than make up in enthusiasm.
"Some players have stopped playing and we've brought in some players from the U19 squad who have proven themselves," he said.
"It's quite a young team we'll have but when you bring in youth you get a lot of enthusiasm and they don't fear failure, they're risk takers. Hopefully that will have the desired affect, especially in front of the home crowd.
"There are one or two players we're missing through injury or financial circumstances but there's seven of the Olympic squad in this squad with a mixture of players who didn't quite make the final selection for London and they'll get another chance to get their foot in the door. As I said there's three U19 players in the squad as well.
"In our opinion we've lost some experience but we've replaced that with youth and better technical players. The only thing they'll lack is experience. For some of them it will be their first international so it will be good for them to get their first cap in the UK."

Summer Movie Wrap-Up: 2013's Winners And Losers
By Katey, Eric, Sean, Mack and Kristy 2013-08-28 16:30:12 comments
Loser: Buddy Action Films Action films will forever be a staple of the summer movie season and this summer wasnt particularly kind to the films featuring two central stars teaming up to take down the bad guys. Some of this years biggest bombs, including Gore Verbinskis The Lone Ranger (which wound up losing Disney $150 million), Roland Emmerichs White House Down (which only made $134 million globally on a $150 million budget), and Robert Schwentkes R.I.P.D. (which made only $61 million of its $130 million budget back), fit into this category, but even Baltasar Kormakurs 2 Guns - which was made for only $61 million found little success at the box office. Reviews likely didnt help any of these movies, but its still hard to say what it was exactly that caused all of them to fail. How will this affect the future of the buddy action movie subgenre? Only time will tell.

It was the only time in the Queen's long life when she slipped, incognito, among her subjects. On the night of May 8 1945 — VE Day — Princess Elizabeth and her sister Margaret were given permission by their father King George VI, to leave Buckingham Palace and join the crowds of ordinary people on the streets of London

Prosecutors said Hernandez ambushed and gunned down the men after a chance encounter inside a Boston nightclub. He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Suffolk Superior Court.
He has already been charged in a 2013 murder. He pleaded not guilty in the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.
Hernandez was released by the Patriots last summer after his arrest in Lloyd's death.
His lawyers have said he looks forward to proving his innocence.

NEW YORK (AP) — Erick Green scored 18 points and Virginia Tech, despite not making a field goal over the final 612 minutes, beat Oklahoma State 59-57 on Friday in the third-place game of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Madison Square Garden.
The Hokies (4-1) went 10 of 17 from the free throw line over the final 6:01 to hold off the Cowboys (3-2), who got within two points twice.

The Financial Reform Populist Hoax: Obama and his union-made 'populist' pitchforks
On financial reform, Americans are about to be duped into the Left's agenda through cajoling and collusion just in time for the mid-term elections. Over a year ago, amidst the worst economic crisis in 70 years, newly-inaugurated populist President Barack Obama summoned Wall Street bankers to the White House to chastise them about the high salaries on Wall Street.

Leo Carrillo park still growing after first decade
City's commitment to restoration brings history to life at actor's property
CARLSBAD Probably the first thing anyone notices at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park is the peacocks.
There are about 80 of them — peacocks and peahens, to be accurate — and they wander through the park undisturbed, like the sacred cows of India.
"They are loud and noisy because it's mating season," park employee George Sangster told a visitor Wednesday afternoon, as the birds' calls echoed across the grounds.
But the birds are just a sidelight. There's plenty more to see at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Once a working ranch, and later a gathering spot for Hollywood's swank set, the park just off Melrose Drive south of Poinsettia Lane holds a wealth of information about the career of its namesake star of stage and screen, as well as the lengthy history of the region.
And it has become again, as it was in the 1940s, a popular spot for special events, hosting an average of two weddings per weekend during the summer.
"When we opened in 2003, that was a landmark year for us," said Mick Calarco, Carlsbad's recreation services manager.
Calarco was hired as the park's manager and has seen it develop over the years.
Getting started
After the city embarked on its plan for the property, much of the initial work involved creating fences, roads, pathways, parking areas and other things needed to turn what was still a private residence into a public park, Calarco said.
"We realized that this was a big park, close to 27 acres, with about 11 acres of that where most of the buildings were," he said.
Many of the initial visitors were older residents who remembered Leo Carrillo from his movies in the 1930s and '40s, and his television show "The Cisco Kid" in the 1950s.
Those older residents had trouble getting around, he said, so one of the park's initial investments was a six-passenger electric cart that remains in use today.
One of the biggest restoration efforts was Carrillo's old hay barn, a project begun in 2008 and completed in 2011. It now houses the visitor center, with a small gift shop and a theater.
Sangster, the park employee, admitted about a dozen people to the restored barn Wednesday afternoon as he filled in for an absent docent. The guests sat on canvas chairs in the high-ceiling theater to watch a 10-minute video about Carrillo's life and his ranch.
Old posters and publicity photos from the actor's career adorned the wooden walls. An old cowboy hat, some rope and worn leather gloves hung from pegs.
After the short film, the guests walked out into the dust-filled sunshine to visit the nearby hacienda, with its sparkling swimming pool, or to look over the blacksmith shop or some of the other old buildings.
Adding to the ranch
Calarco praised the city for continuing to spend money on the park's improvement over the years.
"A lot of historic parks are in dire need of maintenance," he said, but Carlsbad has been dedicated to the steady upkeep and improvement of Leo Carrillo.
Specialists in adobe and plaster work have been hired to maintain the aging structures, he said, and buildings have been restored as money becomes available.
"We've opened a number of exhibits ... in the last 10 years," Calarco said. "One of the biggest is devoted to Leo, his family, his lifetime and his career."
Still ahead is the restoration of more old buildings, including the cantina — where the vaqueros used to gather after a hard day of ranch work — the blacksmith shop, an equipment shed and a carriage house. Also planned are additional restrooms and a native garden with an interpretive trail.

Had one task
In our home
Had to draw water from the well for my father's horse
I was the least
Among my brothers
And I would be the last among them to hold the reins
I could feel the heat
From old lightning
Before my father was awake
We'd take off riding
There was one law
At my father's house
There's nothing the family needs it can't do without
The horse I loved
The old and lame
By the time its service was done it'd be twice its age
One morning in the mist
I jumped the last fence
More farther than even he
Or the old man went
The wild dancing fire
Was snuffed out of me
That beast worked his whole life
And broke beneath me
I had one task
In our home
I had to drag a horse to the field with my father's gun

An Unhappy Customer
By Suzannejanice
from Quincy, MA, United States
I purchased my refrigerator 4 years ago and loved it. However, since that time the reservoir has cracked (filling the bottom of my fridge with water), the water dispenser line has frozen and I am unable to use it and the ice make line has frozen so there is no ice. The reason for this is not enough insulation in the freezer door ( and I am being told that I must pay for a new door although it is obviously faulty). I will never buy a GE product again!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Form, fit, and function are great!
By Bizman33
from Daytona Beach, FL, United States
I wanted a refrigerator that didn't stick way out from the kitchen counters and making it harder to reach the adjacent pantry. This model did the trick. And I don't really notice it is a smaller capacity because it is laid out so well inside. Also, the quality of the interior and drawers and how they all operate so easily, is so much nicer than the other brands I inspected too.
Ice Machine Needs Fix
By icelady
from Georgia, United States
This is our 2nd profile refrigerator (due to size). Like the look, the size is ok, but I agree with the 1st reviewer -the ice maker/dispenser is sub-par. When requesting cubes of ice, you also get bits and pieces of ice spraying all over. This is the reason for the lack of stars.
Perfect Fridge For Us
By Slunik
from Greer, SC
The size and efficiency is what we needed with our updated kitchen. This unit really sets it off and perfectly matches all our GE appliances.
Perfect size, great price!
By ChrisUM
from Gardnerville, NV, United States
We looked at several different manufacturers and models when our previous refrigerator died and this one had the right depth to line up with our cabinets and was a great price. We are very happy with this purchase so far.
Good Value!
By bldrbarb
from Detroit, MI
Sleek look with many of the features as expensive models. Holds more then you think! To make it perfect would be if the pull out shelves in the freezer would have a 2" - 3'" stop in the front so food would not roll out.
Ok Frig for a condo
By zedlady17
from Clearwater Beach, Clearwater, FL 33767, USA
The unit looks very nice; however the freezer side is a bit cramped and small - can't even fit a frozen pizza lying flat in it. Frig unit is OK
Love it.
By Sorrento
from CA
Good looking and makes my kitchen looks so nice. But it does not provide with a lot of trays (not even egg trays) which I am so used to.
Good Product

It's kind of small on the inside, but overall a good product.

The big, strong, powerful figures are usually male, and the slinky, graceful ones baring their midriffs are usually female. This unequal treatment in the fantasy kingdom has gone on for too long! That's where Kristianna comes in.

You see, Kristianna is a strong, powerful, confident woman. In fact—and I hope the feminists really appreciate this feature—she even comes with a male assistant, a squire who holds her helmet for her while she's too busy being important and giving orders to hold it herself. How's that for the glass ceiling?

Summer 2007
"Is there art that is more beautiful, more divine, and more eternal than the art of martyrdom?" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, then Iran's President-elect, mused in a television address in 2005. "A nation with martyrdom knows no captivity."
Ahmadinejad's broadcast over Iranian airwaves was not empty rhetoric. Indeed, Ahmadinejad subsequently launched a radical organization known as Gharargahe Asheghane Shahadat (The Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison), and recruited some 50,000 men and women for the stated purpose of suicide operations against the United States and Europe.
Even if none of these men and women ever set foot in the United States or Europe, their recruitment teaches a valuable lesson: Ahmadinejad's embrace of martyrdom is not posture. It is his governing philosophy, reflecting a cult of death that pervades the upper reaches of Iran's current regime.
Though Scottish historian and philosopher Thomas Carlyle's "Great Man Theory" has largely fallen from favor as the predominant explanation for world events, a single, powerful individual can still dramatically influence history. Largely for religious and ideological reasons, Ahmadinejad seeks to be such an individual.
Born in 1956, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the fourth child of a struggling barber and his devoted wife. A student of engineering at Iran's University of Science and Technology, Ahmadinejad was passionate about the revolutionary changes that were taking place in Iran in the late 1970s.
Just as the pro-Western regime of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi was beginning to lose its grip on power, Ahmadinejad founded an anti-Shah group called the Islamic Student Union. The future president also joined the Office for Strengthening and Unity (Daftare Tahkim va Vahdat), a student group that led demonstrations against the Shah and whose members were arrested and tortured by the state security service, the SAVAK.
Ahmadinejad reportedly emerged from this period unscathed and was ready to contribute to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Islamic Revolution in more meaningful ways. Senior figures of Khomeini's new Iran sent Ahmadinejad to Lebanon to meet with Shi'ite militias. Questions remain over whether Ahmadinejad was personally involved in the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, in which Iranian extremists held 52 Americans captive for 444 days. While much of the mainstream media now discredits previous reports, some experts insist that he not only participated but also helped plan the student takeover of America's embassy.
Toward the end of the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), Ahmadinejad joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a commander and participated in attacks against Iraq's Kirkuk region. He also was an instructor for the Basij, the IRGC-controlled domestic militia in Iran, indicating his fervor for the ideology of the Islamic revolution.
After the war, Ahmadinejad returned on several occasions to teach at his alma mater, Iran's University of Science and Technology. During the 1990s, he also served in various bureaucratic posts, including advisor to the Islamic culture and guidance ministry, and governor-general of the Ardebil province. During this period, Ahmadinejad honed his skills as a politician and sharpened his radical ideas.
By 2003, a relatively unknown Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected mayor of Tehran. He proved a skilled politician, reportedly responding personally to voters' concerns while building consensus within the bureaucracy. He also undid years of reform by putting a conservative religious stamp on the city. In just two years as mayor, he turned cultural centers into prayer halls, designated separate elevators for men and women in the town hall, and gave the Hamshahri, the official newspaper of city government, a decidedly conservative slant.
Ahmadinejad declared his candidacy for President in early 2005. He campaigned on middle class (bazaari) issues of corruption, unemployment, and economics. He shrewdly reached out, on his own and through networks of supporters, to urban and rural voters. More importantly, he connected with Iran's young voters; nearly half of Iran's population is under 24 years old, according to some estimates.
While his audience changed from speech to speech, his conservative religious message never wavered. In mosques across Iran, he called for governance by traditional shari'a (Islamic law) and a return to the original values of the 1979 revolution. After a grueling campaign, he shocked the world, beating former president and Majlis speaker Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani by winning 62 percent of the vote versus Rafsanjani's 36 percent.
After claiming victory, Ahmadinejad visited Khomeini's tomb to signal allegiance to his vision and emerged even more conservative, religious, and dogmatic. As president, he has tightened government controls over Iran's television, radio, internet, films, and books. He has threatened academics who do not toe the conservative religious line. Indeed, he seeks to minimize or obliterate liberal Western influences on Iranian culture.
Ahmadinejad's challenge to the West since coming to power is a well-documented one. At first, his vows to "wipe" Israel "off the map" and to create a "world without America" caused outrage across the civilized world. But, today, his continuing threats to Israel and the United States are met with indifference, if not yawns.
Iran's threats to Europe, however, are less documented and worth reviewing. Warning the continent against defending Israel, for instance, he said in 2006, "You should believe that this regime [Israel] cannot last and has no more benefit to you. What benefit have you got in supporting this regime, except the hatred of the nations?
"We have advised the Europeans," he continued, "that the Americans are far away, but you are the neighbors of the nations in this region. We inform you that the nations are like an ocean that is welling up, and if a storm begins, the dimensions will not stay limited to Palestine, and you may get hurt."
European powers, meanwhile, have labored to save Iran from itself. Starting in 2003, Great Britain, France, and Germany negotiated with Iran for three years in an effort to entice Tehran to drop its nuclear program in exchange for trade and other benefits. The "EU-3" sought to prevent a U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, as some of America's leading conservatives were advocating.
Soon after he became president, however, Ahmadinejad made clear that the talks were doomed to failure. Meeting with the EU-3's foreign ministers in September 2005, Ahmadinejad suddenly asked a startling question: "Do you know why we wish for chaos at any price?" Hearing no responses, he said: "Because, after the chaos, we can see the greatness of Allah."
Chaos is central to Ahmadinejad's religious beliefs and, by extension, his hopes for the future. He believes, as many zealous Shi'ites do, that the Twelfth Imam, or "Mahdi," a messianic figure from the ninth century, will soon reappear to signal the end of the modern world and the onset of Islamic justice over all the earth. Ahmadinejad believes that his presidency will herald the Mahdi. At one point, he even pinpointed the Mahdi's return to 2007.
Ahmadinejad is so sure of his role in heralding the Mahdi that he has shaped his decision-making around it. Soon after assuming the presidency, he visited the mosque from which the Mahdi supposedly will arise, and he later provided nearly $20 million for improvements there. Ahmadinejad then pledged to organize all public policy around the Mahdi's return.
Such radical ideology even shapes Iran's foreign policy. Ahmadinejad believes violent conflict will accelerate the Mahdi's return. That is why he continues to stoke violence in the Middle East. Needless to say, nuclear weaponry in his hands will give him further means to do so.
Ahmadinejad also surrounds himself with advisors and officials who share his messianic beliefs. His cabinet is dominated by hard-liners, and he has replaced dozens of top diplomats, along with provincial governors, whom he deemed insufficiently conservative.
Surrounding himself with fellow messianic believers, Ahmadinejad has insulated himself from facts on the ground. He does not differentiate between theology and politics. Nor does he differentiate fantasy from reality.
In his challenges to Israel, he believes Iran can destroy the most potent military force in the Middle East. In his challenges to the United States, he believes Iran can destroy the greatest military force known to mankind.
Fantasy colors his sense of history, too. Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust a "myth" and a "sheer historic lie." He considers the issue a subject of legitimate debate. In 2006, Iran held a two-day conference to examine whether the Holocaust happened, allowing attendees to "express their views freely." Ahmadinejad surrounded himself with 67 fellow deniers of history from 30 countries.
In perhaps his most dangerous delusion, Ahmadinejad believes he is ordained to perform Allah's will. After he spoke to the United Nations in late 2005, he was caught on videotape telling a cleric that, during the speech, a halo appeared above his head. "Suddenly the atmosphere changed," he said. Of the world leaders in attendance, he said, "and for the duration of the twenty-seven or twenty-eight minutes, they did not even blink. I am not exaggerating. I looked up and I saw them. They were transfixed. It was as if a hand of God was holding them."
Through a combination of delusion, religious fervor, and ideological zeal, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicts that the demise of the world is rapidly approaching. He vows to hasten that end through a violent confrontation with the West. Should the elected leader of Iran acquire nuclear weapons, and fulfill even a fraction of his radical vision, he would lend credence to the discredited theories of Carlyle, demonstrating that one man can still profoundly influence history.

DVD review | Monte Carlo - A glossy tween rom-com with Selena Gomez as the princess and the pauper
Selena Gomez, star of Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place and, off-screen, Justin Bieber's girlfriend, lives out the ultimate tween-girl makeover fantasy in escapist romantic comedy Monte Carlo.
Gomez's 21st-century Cinderella, Grace Bennett, is a small-town Texas teenager who gets mistaken for spoiled socialite Cordelia Winthrop Scott (also played by Gomez) while on a budget holiday in Paris with her best friend Emma and her older stepsister Meg (played by Gossip Girls Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester). Taking advantage of the situation - and the absent heiress's wardrobe - the trio travel to Monte Carlo to take her place at a swanky charity event. Despite the odd farcical glitch, and the odd spot of friction between party girl Emma and sobersides Meg, they enjoy the high life amid a whirl of posh frocks, polo matches and glittering balls and find romance with the men of their dreams.
It's all frothy and silly, but Gomez and her co-stars are sweet and appealing and are sure to win over the film's target audience. Incidentally, the character of airhead heiress Cordelia is British, though a ringer for Paris Hilton in every other respect, which gives Gomez a chance to do what passes for a snooty English accent and provides a cameo role for Catherine Tate as the socialite's suspicious aunt.
Released on DVD & Blu-ray on Monday 12th March by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

FBI arrests federal border officer
San Diego A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer accused of illegally allowing his felon brother-in-law into the country has been arrested, joining about 140 members of border law enforcement agencies who have been charged in corruption cases since 2004.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the bail hearing would be for Julio Cesar Landaverde Valdez. The hearing is for the defendant, Thomas Paul Silva. The story has been changed to reflect the correct information.
Thomas Paul Silva, 33, was taken into custody about 8:30 a.m. Friday at the San Ysidro Port of Entry by agents with the Border Corruption Task Force, FBI special Agent Darrell Foxworth said today.
Silva, who has been with the agency since 2002, is accused of allowing Julio Cesar Landaverde Valdez, a federal fugitive, to enter the U.S. from Mexico in April, Foxworth said. He said Silva knew his brother-in-law was a fugitive.
Valdez was convicted in 2006 on immigrant smuggling charges. That case stemmed from Valdez and an associate trying to enter the U.S. at the San Ysidro border crossing with an undocumented immigrant in a dashboard compartment of their vehicle, Foxworth said.
Silva appeared in federal court this afternoon and was told he faces two charges: concealing a person to prevent arrest and wire fraud. A defense attorney was appointed to represent him.
In addition to illegally allowing his brother-in-law into the country, Silva is accused of defrauding Farmers Insurance Co. by falsely claiming that his vehicle was stolen and receiving about $7,300 as a result, Foxworth said.
A Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman issued a statement via email, saying the agency stresses honor and integrity in its mission.
"CBP employees and officers perform their duties with honor and distinction, working tirelessly every day to keep our country safe," the statement said. "We do not tolerate abuse within our ranks, and we fully cooperate with investigations of alleged misconduct by any of our personnel, on or off duty."
An affidavit filed in the case said federal agents were alerted to Silva's alleged criminal activity in November 2010 after reports accused him of allowing people with phony immigration documents to pass through the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Silva ran computer searches in a Customs and Border Protection database under Valdez's name in March, the affidavit says. Then, on April 19, cameras recorded a Volkswagen sedan entering the inspection lane that Silva was monitoring.
Silva failed to properly enter the Volkswagen's license plate number into a computer system and did not provide any personal information about anyone in the car.
The male driver of the Volkswagen had a tattoo, part of which could be seen on his neck above the collar. Investigators viewed photos on Valdez's Facebook page, which showed he has a tattoo that covers part of his left shoulder, neck and upper chest.
An arrest warrant was issued for Valdez's arrest in June 2011 after failing to show up at a residential re-entry program. He remains a fugitive.
Silva was booked Friday into the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown San Diego.
His wife and three supporters were in court today but declined to speak to reporters afterward.
Magistrate Judge William V. Gallo scheduled a detention hearing for Wednesday to discuss what Silva's bail should be.
The Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection have been dogged in recent years with agents and officers having been arrested in corruption cases related to their jobs. Most of them took money to allow drugs or undocumented immigrants into the United States.
Last month, a federal jury convicted two brothers, both former Border Patrol agents, for running a human smuggling ring. Prosecutors said Raul Villarreal, who had been a media spokesman for the Border Patrol in San Diego, was accused of hatching the idea and later recruiting his brother, Fidel.

"Hauza Beach Resort, Nabq" Nabq by scattybat
Nabq Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 45 photos
On first impressions the hotel is beautiful, and to be honest it is. It does have its bad points but we all need something to moan about. I have to say the worst of it is the aircraft noise, yes it is loud, but you do sort of get used to it.
We found the pools a bit cold but there is going to be a heating system installed soon (when they can find someone who knows how it works!), but basicaly clean and safe. The slides in the jungle pool are great, I enjoyed them as much as the kids! There are pool attendants on duty and many of them are trained as lifeguards- this is not advertised- we only found out by chatting to the staff.
The food is what you would expect in an international hotel, catering for many different nationalites is difficult so they tend to stick to the same few dishes, but it is pretty good food. The fresh cooked dishes are delicious and desserts are good too. The pool bar snacks are the same every day, waffles, pancakes, burgers, chips, soup, pasta and toasted sandwiches. Pizzas are availiable all day from the beach bar (the chef there is a bit loopy!), the queue is long but they are very tasty. We didn't have the chance to try either the Tirana or Al Jazeera restaurants as the were fully booked when we tried. We heard good reports about both. All of the restaurants are very busy.
Most of the staff are lovely, there will always be the exceptions. Watch out for the young man who cooks eggs in the restaurant and omelettes in the monkey breakfast- he has got wandering hands- I gave him a good slap round the face when he grabbed my chest!
The waiting and cleaning staff work really hard but have always got a smile for the guests, the cynics will say they are after thier tips, but when you consider they get paid LE400 a month- can you blame them?
I have to say my favourite member of staff is Sameh, the keeper in the zoo. Siddiq who works there is nice too, but Sameh is the best. Although the Egyptian way of caring for animals is different to the british, he loves all his animals and is a lovely friendly person at the same time. He is willing to take you round to see and feed his animals every day, we would take fruit, juice and cheese from the restaurant for him to give to the monkeys and other animals. He enjoys being able to give them a treat, we bought Sameh some chocolate for himself, and found out he shared it with his monkeys. So if you go to the zoo, be nice to him, he deserves it!
Nabq has nothing to do outside the hotels, but Na'ama Bay isn't far away and the hotels usually have there own transport. outside the hotel there is mainly desert, building works and wasteground, so I wouldn't advise wandering around on your own.
The reef outside the Hauza isn't the best I have seen, but there is a wide variety of fish. There is a small shelf of coral before it sharply drops down around 70 meters. The reef is reached from a jetty with life guards on, the current can be very strong so take it easy when you first get in as it can be deceptive on the surface. My husband went snorkelling every day and enjoyed it very much, but my daughter and I didn't like swimming there. It is a personal choice.
- Pros:great weather, staff, fun pool
- Cons:reef not fantastic, a bit out of the way
- In a nutshell:graet for swimming and sunning!

Conditions for Trade Union Wage Restraint
Colin Crouch
Some schools of thought attribute inflation to governments' maintenance of over-full employment, in response to public pressure for high employment and for a combination of high public spending and low taxation which is itself inflationary. At first sight this excludes organized labor as a cause. But labor is an important element in articulating that public pressure and may therefore be said to "cause" inflation, even if its wages pressure can have no more than a once-and-for-all effect. Inflation of this kind may be regarded as a form of class compromise. Labor has gained enough power to secure high levels of employment and public spending, the former strengthening its bargaining position with capital. But it is not able to replace capital in any way, and capital will therefore seek to retain its position in the distributive struggle. Assuming continuation of the balance of political forces that led to the original government stance on spending, taxation, and employment, the resulting strain will be borne by the price level.1
But a high level of inflation may lead to demands for a revision of priorities. It will certainly lead to a deterioration in the country's payments balance, pressure on its exchange rate, and possibly international indebtedness; and there will be powerful pressure on the government to deflate the economy. Thus the consequences of inflation will be a reverse for the labor movement, entailing a reduction in its political and economic____________________
