Are you the type that seeks adventure and enjoys an occasional outdoor hike? Or are you the type that loves exploring a new city and the occasional road trip? A gap year in North America has something to offer everyone.
From exploring the wilderness of Canada, to learning Spanish in Mexico, or taking on an internship in New York City, there are so many opportunities to take advantage of.
The variety of opportunities makes North America an ideal location for a gap year. It has the potential to offer you some of the most enjoyable, memorable, and life-changing experiences.
There are few continents that compare to North America's ethnic and cultural diversity. The landscape is equally diverse from the Grand Canyon to the islands of the Bahamas. North America is a land of dreamers and innovators offering every kind of experience imaginable. Turn your gap year into the American dream and let the adventures last you a lifetime!
Program Types
Not only is North America one of the largest continents but it also has a climate to suit everyone's needs; whether it's the USA, Canada, Mexico or the tropical Caribbean islands. You could work as a camp counsellor in the USA, spend time on the slopes in Canada, volunteer in Mexico or you could learn to dive in the Caribbean.
Au Pair
If you love to work with children and would like to live, work and travel the United States, then being an au pair is perfect for you. With this, you're able to live with an American host family, look after their children and be treated as a member of their family.
Typically, your placement with your host family will last for six months to a year. Do note, however, that though this is a fantastic opportunity to fully immerse yourself in American culture, gain international work experience, and learn English (if you're not a native English speaker), you'll lack some of the freedoms you're used to at home as an au pair.
Make sure you talk with your host family in advance and set realistic expectations of what your free time will look like. Point being, if you're an au pair in NYC, don't expect to be bringing your friends home from the club at 2am.
If you dream of living on an island, swimming in the ocean all day or just giving back to the community then volunteering in the could be the thing for you. There are plenty of opportunities to work with marine conservations, sea turtle conservations and contracting services. Explore the coral reefs, monitor marine movements, complete underwater marine surveys and let the underwater world become your new home!
If you have no prior background in these activities, it is good to look for a program that will offer you some training in this field. This is for the adventurers who want to take their exploration to the water and dive into a whole new world. What better way to spend your gap year than on a beach or lending a helping hand where needed?
Camp Counselor
Do you want a working gap year that is fun, rewarding and an overall life experience? Working as a camp counselor is one of the most beneficial things you can do during your gap year. You could work as a lifeguard, arts and crafts teacher, general counselors, drama teacher and even a sports coach.
Not only will you be making lifelong friends with your co-workers, but you will also be contributing to the lives of the camp goers. You could potentially get time off to spend traveling to the places you'd like to see most. America is an extremely diverse country, culturally and geographically, and offers different travel experiences that are suitable for everyone.
The Americas are an adventure lover's paradise and spending your gap year at as a camp counselor in any location will be most rewarding. The skills you learn while working as a counselor will look great on a CV or resume and employees will instantly see that you are a committed, mature and responsible person.
There is a high demand for English speaking teachers in Mexico at all times throughout the year. Typically, there are openings in language schools, universities and international schools. Speaking English is a requirement for Mexican citizens wishing to advance in the professional field. If you so chose to spend your gap year teaching English in Mexico, know that it is constantly in high demand.
Ski Instructor / Lodge Employee
California, Colorado, Utah and New England are among the four major ski areas in the U.S. Canada also offers world class resorts in British Columbia and the Rockies. North America staffs its resorts each year so that it is able to deliver top service in some of the top facilities.
These jobs are year round but are often most popular in the winter time. Ski lodge jobs can vary from ski instructors, lodge employees, and to nannies at the daycare center of the lodge.There is even the possibility of working in the hospitality department at the lodge doing jobs such as food preparation, administration, and covering service. If you think you have what it takes, ski lodge jobs can be exciting and fun!
Prepare for a harsh winter! Canada is the polar bear capital of the world, so heavy winter clothing is an absolute necessity. Despite the cold, you'll find that Canada is a unique and beautiful country. Gappers will have the chance to visit Niagra Falls or observe Beluga whales. The streets are clean and medical care is easily accessed. Taking a gap year in Canada will immerse you in a warm, safe culture.
United States
It's difficult to summarize a country as diverse as the United States. From weather to culture, no two states are alike. Your time here will entirely depend on which area you visit- whether you are doing an internship in New York or visiting Yosemite National Forest; there is something for absolutely everyone in the United States.
One of the top tourist destinations in the world, Mexico is bursting with culture and opportunity. Escape from life's daily pressures -- in Mexico you can dive off the coast and in caves, hike up a volcano, go surfing, kayak off waterfalls, try rock climbing, go deep-sea fishing, snorkel with the diverse marine life, mountain bike, bird watch, and more.
Gappers may find the Caribbean islands a little more challenging because of the distance between islands, but you shouldn't be deterred. Whether you stay on one place or island hop, you are sure to find mixed cultures, spirited music, spicy foods. You will also find meaningful work on the islands, ranging from Medical Volunteering to Wildlife Conservation.
Planning Your Trip
Health & Safety
Staying healthy during your gap year is more important than anything else. Those beaches that you visit and the adventures you go on won't be great if you are cooped up in bed feeling sick. Getting into a good, healthy habit will be the best thing you can do for yourself.
If you are sleeping outside, be sure and put up a mosquito net, don't eat certain foods that you are wary of and make sure to get a good night's sleep which will help you prepare for the next day. If you do happen, however, to start feeling ill, the hospitals in North America are world class and over the counter drugs are sold at local convenient stores. Make sure that if you need to get an vaccinations or immunizations you do so before you leave that way you are well prepared when you go to your destination.
Culture & Etiquette
North America is home to many cultures and is full of multi-ethnic traditions and racially diverse neighborhoods as a result of immigration. When you begin interacting with Americans, it is proper to make eye-contact, be polite and give a firm handshake. The customs vary greatly from state to state similar to the prices for certain products.
For example, in New York you would shake hands with the person you met but perhaps in Alabama or Louisiana their custom is to hug one another. You will see the differences in cultures as you travel from state to state and you will become more familiar with them as your gap year progresses.
Visa Information
The main type of visa for students looking to work in the U.S. is the J-1 visa, which will allow you to work and travel. However, there are two types of J-1 visas and the first is the "Work and Travel" visa which allows you to temporarily work in a "guest service position" such as the tourist industry. The other is known as the "Camp Counselor" visa which allows you to work at a summer camp.
The cost of living in North America varies from country to country. Housing, products, and lifestyle costs are all different. For example, an decent meal in New York, New York can cost up to $30, whereas a meal in Mexico will run you a few dollars.
Before creating a budget for your gap year in North America, create a rough itinerary of where you want to go. For example, if you're planning to spend the majority of your time in Mexico, you'll need to save far less than if you're trying to do an unpaid internship in New York.
Also consider money you might make while working (if that's how you plan on spending your gap year) when deciding how much you should save before heading out on your gap year. If you plan to work, you should absolutely still have money in the bank, but you might be OK with a little less than if you were traveling full time.
Once you have an itinerary planned out, we recommend taking a look at Lonely Planet's sample budgets for each region you plan on spending time in to get a better idea of how much money you'll be spending in each.
To cut on costs, consider spending longer amounts of time in one place, camping, exploring areas by bus (rather than flying) and cooking / eating at less expensive establishments whenever possible. Honestly, rural regions of the U.S. -- many of which have some fantastic national parks to explore -- have a downright reasonable cost of living.

More Diablo 3 News at Gamescom says Mike MorhaimePosted 2 Aug 2013 by
This evening was the latest round of Activision Blizzard financials which did bring news that Project Titan was "unlikely to be a subscription based MMORPG", but not a lot in the way of Diablo 3 updates apart from the console release date being nailed down for next month. Mike Morhaine did close out the Diablo 3 section of the call by simply adding:
Now keep in mind this is an investor call where it's all about sales, subscription numbers and future plans. Mike's Diablo 3 comment certainly indicates that there will be some new Diablo 3 product announcement at Gamescom as Elly stated in the previous post.

Must-See Corona

Queens Museum
New York City Building, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, 718-592-9700
The Queens Museum presents work that speaks to the broad diversity of the borough. Perhaps the most famous exhibition is the Panorama of the City of New York, a scale model of the five boroughs that depicts every building built before 1992 (with a few modifications since, to include places like Citi Field, Battery Park City and Brooklyn Bridge Park). Conceived by Robert Moses and created for the 1964 World's Fair, the display is the largest architectural model in the world, with 895,000 tiny buildings (the Empire State Building is about a foot tall) that took 100 people approximately three years to construct. The museum's art shows are curated with a distinct voice that speaks to the community. The institution, formerly known as the Queens Museum of Art, finished a major expansion in late 2013 that doubled the size of the institution: additions include a sweeping entrance and atrium, thousands of square feet of new exhibition space, a café and a museum shop. The Queens Museum also houses a stunning collection of Tiffany glass, including windows and lamps.

I searched and read the thread about the relative strength of different
methods of joinery--brazing and lugs or welded frames. I was glad to find
that while lugs are stronger both welded and lugged frames are plenty
strong for the stresses of riding. What I'm really curious about is the ride
quality. If most people agree, or at least the Rivendell Reader attests,
that welded and brazed frames are strong enough--which has better
ride characteristics? Is there any difference? I mean, granted--
if you have a lugged frame built out of straight gauge hi-ten
compared to a welded 6-3-1 frame of course the welded frame
will ride better. But all things being equal (like tubing and butting
profiles) which is better in terms of ride quality--or is the method of joinery
unrelated to ride? People wax poetic about how the so and so frame of yesteryear
rides so well. I sometimes suspect that modern steel and butting profiles
allow welded framed to have as good of ride quality.

Not everyone has a spacious kitchen which they can hardly fill up with all the available fixtures. Most of the times one has to be satisfied with very limited space and limited more fixtures that there is room for. In such a situation, what you need is a revolutionary strategy that can not only deliver an efficient cooking space, but also a truly stunning look.
You can work out on your kitchen area by going through various gallery samples. You're sure to find a wide variety of kitchen design samples on galley kitchen design that can offer many useful and practical ideas, which can then be applied in your own home.
Everybody knows that white or light colours can create the illusion of spaciousness in any room. However, what you may not realize is that strategic placement of dark tones can achieve a similar effect.
Additionally one has to look into space management and storage solutions. The next things to consider are the aesthetic elements i.e. how do you want your kitchen to look? At this stage, you need to define exactly what the theme of your kitchen is.
Are you going for something sleek and modern or more rustic and traditional? Either way, make sure you know exactly where you're going and remain consistent. Changing your ideas half way down the line will only ever cause negative results. Everything you add to your kitchen should enhance the look you're trying to create.
You'll probably already have an idea of how you want your finished kitchen to look, but if you don't then use the internet to look at kitchen galleries for inspiration. Even if you have a design in mind, it's worth looking around to get extra ideas and additional knowledge. Efficient storage options need to be given equal importance. Such storage options include back-of-door cabinet storage, lazy Susans, tall cabinets, and so on.These are just a few tips on how to remain pro-active with your kitchen design and the benefits this will offer.

Today I will write about the different kinds of eyeshadow on the market.
Powder Eyeshadows
They are the most common kind of eyeshadow and also my favorite. They usually come in pots or pans in different finishes – shimmery, satin, frosty, matte, glittery etc. Their shelf life is roughly 2-3 years and generally longer compared to cream eyeshadows and glosses. My favorite brand of powder eyeshadows are MAC and Stila.
Cream Eyeshadows
These come in pots, tubes and even pen forms. They are great for those with dry skin and add a nice sheen to your skin. They are relatively sheer compared to powder eyeshadow and should not be layered on. The major downside to cream eyeshadows is that they can crease badly. This problem can easily be avoided by choosing one that dries to a matte finish. MAC Paints ($16) are good for this and they can also double as an eyeshadow base. When using cream eyeshadows, remember not to powder your eyelid before hand, or else it would end up looking blotchy.
These are basically powder eyeshadows that are in the form of loose powder. One cool thing about them is you can mix different colors together. When you apply a loose powder eyeshadow, pack it onto your eyelid with a brush or fingers. For a more dramatic effect, wet your brush before applying. A good loose powder eyeshadows is finely milled, highly pigmented and adheres to the skin easily. Some good ones are MAC Pigment ($19.50) and L'oreal On-The-Loose powder ($6.5).
Eyeshadow Pencils
These are super easy to use and great for beginners. All you have to do is color your lids just like you are drawing. They are also very portable and can be used for touch-ups. Make sure you pick one that is creamy and blendable. I really like Rimmel All Over Pencil (~$5).
Eye Glosses
These are great for pictures, especially if you want to create that wet look you see in magazines. However, I do not recommend using this when you go out. It takes some practice to master using eye glosses and if not handled well, they can get really messy and smeary.

This KOA is new and very nicely laid out. All interior roads are gravel. Sites 1-5 are "premium" sites with concrete pads, all the rest are gravel pads. Our rate reflects parking in a premium spot. Sites are reasonably spacious. If one has a stationary satellite dish, trees in the regular sites may interfere. Wi-Fi was strong. No cable service. Staff were very friendly.

Road Cycling
Utah is filled with iconic places. When it comes to road biking, Utah is more than iconic. Choose from hitting the asphalt amid powerful red rock scenery in one of Utah's Mighty 5® national parks, traversing thousands of miles of scenic backways and byways, reaching high plateaus, ascending majestic mountains, crossing lonely roadways in curvy canyons or finding yourself in wide open expanses beneath endless sky.
With a passion for outdoors matched only by a passion for sport, you must experience Utah by bicycle.
Here are seven classic routes that will introduce you to serious road cycling — at elevation. For even more cycling, see our Tour of Utah-inspired three-day itinerary, Cycling the Road to Mighty.
1. SCENIC BYWAY 12 | Southern Utah | Up to 124 miles
This could be the most scenic ride of your life
Scenic Byway 12 is approximately 124 miles of relentless beauty and endless outdoor recreation. When the Tour of Utah bicycle stage race took on the nationally designated All-American Road for the first time, it solidified the road's status on the global stage. On a bicycle, it combines some gently graded touring opportunities with rapid descents and punishing climbs en route to racking up more than 10,000 feet in elevation. Riders can basecamp at Panguitch for the whole shebang, at several gateway communities along the way or their choice of state and national parks for select legs of the road. Whether you ride a single mile or all 124, you will not be disappointed.
2. ARCHES NATIONAL PARK & HIGHWAY 128 | Moab | Each up to 45 miles
Moab-area cycling accesses the true beauty of Utah's Red Rock Country
When a Denver-area magazine visited Moab they quickly recognized an astonishing truth: this world-renowned mountain biking mecca is also home to some of the finest asphalt adventures anywhere. The scenic drive through Arches makes it one of the more accessible parks, but you'll lament passing too quickly through this masterpiece of red rock geology. Read about biking Arches in the national park biking guide below, but also don't miss the rolling Upper Colorado Scenic Byway up state Route 128. The junction is between Arches and Moab and the road follows a modestly trafficked path up the Colorado River along BLM lands with abundant camping and classic sandstone pinnacles that define this landscape. The entire byway runs 44 miles but many riders often cruise the 15 miles to the La Sal Loop Road to enjoy a cruise through Castle Valley before a return trip home (or an epic climb up the switchbacks of the La Sal Mountains, which 5280 magazine details from the opposite direction).
3. ALPINE LOOP | Middle Rocky Mountains | 20+ miles
Get acquainted with Robert Redford's Wasatch
Bookmark American Fork Canyon; you'll have plenty of reasons to return to this Wasatch gem. For now, ready your rubber for a climb from 5,000 feet at the mouth of the canyon to 8,000 feet at the summit of the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway on state Route 92.
The 20-mile highway passes Timpanogos Cave National Monument, Cascade Springs, Sundance Resort and multiple recreation stops on the Uinta National Forest en route to its return to the valley via the equally spectacular Provo Canyon. Most importantly, the Alpine Loop name honors an area that is both splendidly alpine, but reminiscent of the very Alps from which the word is derived. Though the road is narrow in spots, this is mountain road biking at its finest.
4. MIRROR LAKE NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY | Uinta Mountains | 56 miles one way
Climb to fantastic heights among Utah's tallest peaks
Starting at nearly 6,500 feet in Kamas, Utah, will tell you something about this ride. You've officially entered the cycling land of Utah: Life Elevated. A 30-mile climb along the Upper Provo River to about 10,700 feet at Bald Mountain Pass is ahead, meaning Mirror Lake Highway is a ride for serious climbers. With countless campgrounds and trailheads to high mountain lakes dotting this byway, cyclists may choose to set up camp along the way, and enjoy segments to test their lungs and legs at elevation. The road from the Wyoming state line to the summit is no less scenic, and keeps riders at a higher elevation. Watch for wildlife ranging from groundhogs to the majestic moose.
5. CITY CREEK CANYON | Salt Lake City | 5.7 miles to top
From downtown to national forest in minutes
Few symbols better exemplify access and proximity than Salt Lake City's City Creek Canyon. An historically important source of drinking and irrigation water for the valley, City Creek remains an important watershed for Utah's capital city. On odd-numbered days, bicycles are welcome to enjoy a car-free canyon ride, taking on grades averaging 7 percent over the 5.7 miles, from the rolling stretches of the lower canyon to the steeper — and rougher — upper section.
6. SALTAIR | Great Salt Lake | 36 miles round-trip
A metropolitan to marsh flat ride to the onion-domed pavilion by the sea
A must-ride for residents and visitors to the Salt Lake area, the straight shot west from downtown Salt Lake follows the grand avenue North Temple to the airport bike path that through multiple gated restricted areas connects to the Salt Lake International Airport and an industrial park. The second half of the ride connects with the North Temple Frontage Road, which runs a parallel course with I-80 toward the Great Salt Lake. Though there's not much of a shoulder, cyclists will frequently have this road to themselves. Get to know the characteristic aroma of the Great Salt Lake then turn back to see the distant city and Wasatch Front.
7. LOGAN CANYON | Northern Utah | 39 miles one way
A shimmering surprise caps a tree-lined uphill ride
From 4,500 feet at Utah State University in Logan, riders will climb through Logan Canyon to 7,800 feet over 30 miles before being rewarded with a 10-mile downhill with incredible views of Bear Lake — the Caribbean of the Rockies. Stop for a famous Bear Lake raspberry shake and a burger in Garden City, which sits at nearly 6,000 feet. Riders should exercise caution as the shoulder is often narrow or nonexistent.
Another excellent ride in the area is the 51-mile loop around Bear Lake, which includes the Bear Lake-Laketown Scenic Byway in Utah and a dip into Idaho — and is relatively flat.

Biotechnology—The New Ethical Frontier:
An Introduction
Gerhold K. Becker
The twentieth century is certainly not short of important scientific discoveries, yet few have had greater impact on our lives than the unravelling of the structure of the atom and the genetic make-up of organisms. Both marked the arrival of a new age of scientific development which has successfully forged the rise of a powerful alliance between pure and applied science, between scientific theory and technological practice (and application). Besides pushing society 'into the era of high technology' 1 it has forced scientists to reconsider their social role and to accept greater responsibility for the consequences their research may hold for the rest of us. This new situation is clearly reflected in Max Born's remark:
When I was young, it was still possible to be a pure scientist without being much concerned about the applications, the technology. Nowadays this is no longer possible, for natural science is inextricably intertwined with the social and political life (. . .) Today every scientist is a link within the technological and industrial system in which he lives. By that he has on his part also to be responsible for the reasonable use of his results. 2
While the end of the Cold War somewhat de-dramatized our fear of atomic weapons, the potential threat from nuclear power plants continues to be the source of great anxiety. It is only rivaled by recent advances in biotechnology which have captured our imagination and propelled our expectations of the immense benefits as well as the fears of the equally immense dangers. As a report by the Office of Technology Assessment has

An American Airlines plane crashed this morning just after takeoff from New York's JFK Airport. The jetliner, which had 255 people onboard (of those 246 were passengers) was a non-stop bound for the Dominican Republic. It crashed in the borough of Queens, in the Rockaway area.
New York city officials immediately closed bridges and tunnels as a precaution; these have since reopened. The city's three area airports were closed to incoming and outgoing air traffic following the crash; Newark and LaGuardia have reopened for incoming and outgoing flights while JFK opened for incoming, not yet for outgoing.
For information on passengers who may have been aboard the airliner, call American Airlines at 800-245-0999. If you were planning to fly on American out of any of New York's three airports (Newark and LaGuardia, in addition to JFK), go to www.aa.com/gatesandtimes or www.aa.com.
In the meantime, a spokeswoman from Royal Caribbean, which was in the midst of New York-based inaugural celebrations for its brand-new Adventure of the Seas, reports from onboard the ship that it arrived safely at Manhattan's Pier 88 this morning at 5 a.m. Adventure returned from a two day cruise-to-nowhere following Friday's official naming ceremonies and, onboard, were families of New York City's police and firefighting forces. Royal Caribbean has canceled any further promotional events -- New York's
port is closed as well as bridges, tunnels and airports -- and the ship will sail today to its home port in San Juan.

A few years ago when I was walking to the gym when a group of men sitting outside an apartment building started talking to me. It started out innocently enough with "How are you?" "Have a nice day," etc. Then one of them got up and followed me and trying to talk to me even though I made it clear I was not interested. He said we should go out and proceeded to grab my ass. I told him not to touch me and jumped away. He replied "But I like touching." Even when clearly being spurned he kept following me, asking for my number. He didn't leave me alone until I gave him a phone number…that I made up. What a jerkface.

HOLLABAACK!! I have been repeatedly harassed by a gross guy who works at the public library near my house. He works as "security" but stands around and leers at women and hits on them all day. He would always talk to me in an invasive, macho way, with the tone of voice of "hey, baby" as if he was at a bar and not working as security. I was always cold to him and showed him my disgust. I observed him doing this to other women also. I complained to the library manager and she said other women had complained about him, and that they would address it with him. She told me I should speak to him directly but I didn't want to make an issue of it at the time. He is a predator and predators are about power and control. At the time a girl I knew had been raped by her bf and we plastered anti rape signs around the town and put anti sexual harassment signs all over the library. It's not as direct but still empowering as a way to use your voice.
He continued to harass me and nothing changed. A year ago I was on the street downtown with friends and he came up and asked for a hug. I was with other people and laughing/relaxed and he caught me off guard, although my face showed disgust he he gave me a hug which I completely regretted – I felt slimed. Awhile ago walking home in the dark up the street he made a beeline towards me, diagonally from the library, and again made a slimey comment. I gave him a look of extreme disgust and walked away.
I recently had a private meeting with him and the library manager in which I told him his behavior was unacceptable, inappropriate, and must STOP or I would press charges. I told him he disgusted me. He had a typical b.s. response saying he was just being friendly and he didn't know what I was talking about, I told him he knows EXACTLY what I am talking about; I held him accountable. A short time after the meeting, the library manager told me she had told him directly, that's it, no more talking to women at all. I thought it would be resolved but his creepy and predatory behavior towards me continued. Recently he was reading his book from across the library, and I was tutoring students at a table, he came to read his book right behind the bookshelf next to me, to be leering at me and invade my space, when he could have chosen to go anywhere in the library and he knows I hate him and he disgusts me, esp. after the meeting. I was busy with students and didn't speak up at the time. He has continued to speak to me when he was told not to.
The other day I decided to confront him and am glad I did. I got fed up and who cares if I was a little aggressive, he needs to know what it's like to have his space invaded. I went up to him, said, "I need to speak with you." He was about to make a call on his cell and he said "wait", I said, "no, now", I closed his cell phone cover, got up close in his space (with a sharp pencil on hand if needed) and went off on him, told him I had told him to stay out of my space and to not talk to me, he disrespected that, and he needs to learn respect and as soon as it happens again I'll call the cops. He started swearing and then ran off. It felt good to be forceful and up in his face. God what a SCUMBAG he is.
The librarian clerk there saw the interaction and protected the predator saying it's his job to walk around the library, how dare I talk to him like that? (typical bs). I was direct with her as well and she said I couldn't talk to her like that, she freaked out and was very hostile. I let her know that he acts like it's his job to harass women, and that this town is full of typical liberal passivity b.s. and that other women have complained. It was frustrating to be attacked by this stupid librarian, but who cares, the main thing is I used my voice and now he knows I will kick his ass and definitely call the cops if it happens again. I have taken my power back. Predators are the scum of the earth. I documented everything on paper on writing and will do everything in my power to get him fired. Thanks for letting me vent and share this story, it's great to know there are ass kicking chicks out there. The stupid librarian can kiss my ass! It's ok for women to assert themselves, and it doesn't matter how they do it, as long as they speak up.
HOOLLLLLLLAAA BACK!!!!!!! Kick ass and speak up, use your voice!

While in Queens last night, Bloomberg bragged, "Today, a woman could walk in virtually every neighborhood in this city during the day and not look over her shoulder, and most neighborhoods at night." But many of the city's women question how a middle aged man living on the UES (and Bermuda) could know that. Carla Banks of Kingsbridge Heights said, "Bloomberg's trippin'. This isn't the upper East Side. He's definitely out of touch with what women deal with in the Bronx." Please let him get back in touch with the people by pulling a Bulworth.
Nora Nestor of Crown Heights agrees: "I love my neighborhood. I feel safe in it, but I wouldn't walk anywhere in New York without being aware of what's behind my shoulder." But according to women on the Upper East Side, Bloomberg is totally right! Theresa Ackerly said, "Yes, it has gotten better. This nabe changed a lot. Back in the '80s, there were a lot of gangs. Mayor Bloomberg is doing all right in terms of crime." Except that murders and rapes are up.
Sexual exploitation stemmed in gender oppression is a phenomenon that is generally hidden under a blanket of reticence due to the challenge of addressing issues of sexism under a larger context of racism.
Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration will open Sex Crimes Against Black Girls, a multimedia exhibit curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis and featuring the works of Nyoka Acevedo, Kimberly Kimabe Becoat, Frances Bradley, Delphine Fawundu Buford, Tracee Worley, Numa Perrier, Wahala Temi, Noelle Lorraine Williams, that investigates the various levels of sexual exploitation and oppression that are suffered by young Black girls across the African Diaspora.

DePaul University Junior Betsy Huigens has developed and released Bluelight, a free app that allows women to check in with family and friends after making it home on time.
Think of it as "I'll call you when I get there 2.0" says the app's storefront download info.
– First, enter your travel time – say 15 minutes for the walk home from the library at night.
– Next, select someone from your address book, such as a parent or roommate, to be your Bluelight contact.
– Set the alert and start walking.
– When you arrive home safely, cancel the alert, and your contact is never bothered. If you do not cancel the alert, Bluelight will let your contact know the route you took home via text message or email.
Film 678, a stark portrayal of street harassment by director Mohamed Diab (currently showing in Egyptian cinemas), is causing growing discomfort among Egypt's top offices.
Bureaucrat Mahmoud Hanfy Mahmoud, head of the complaints department at the Egyptian Association for Human Rights and Social Justice, has filed an official complaint about the film, citing potential harm to men's 'sensitive spots.'
The film depicts women physically defending themselves against harassment and abuse.
In a separate case, the film faces legal action by lawyers Mohammed Hanafi and Melad George, who charge Diab and his cast with tarnishing Egypt's reputation.
Coverage to date has not included follow up reports of complainants also taking action against perpetrators of sexual harassment and abuse.

My friend and I were grocery shopping. She was off looking at veggies and I was alone in the back corner grabbing some bread. As I set off to meet up with her I paused to pull up my tights. Some tall creep rounded the corner, laughed, and said "Somebody's going to get laid tonight" and kept going. It didn't register for a moment and when I finally managed to say "fuck you" he was out of ear shot and my voice was so, so small. It made the rest of the night weird.

I was walking a dog about 3:15 this afternoon on Prospect Park West between 11th and 12th streets a male, about 6'2″, middle aged with gray facial hair carrying a new york times and a bottle of water says to me,"she's looking for you." I gave him a weird look and saw a female dog walker behind him. I approached the woman because she looked distraught and asked if she's was ok. She said, "that man spat on me." I saw this man once before jogging in the park near the 11th street entrance, and he shouted "white trash" in my direction. I dismissed it at the time because he was wearing head phones. now I see a connection between both incidences: both of his targets were women, and both dog walkers.

Today I was walking with a friend (who is a girl) to grab a bite to eat. We had already made plans to hit the gym afterwards so we were in gym wear/sweats and a sweater. As we were walking down the street there were a group of men in a circle talking amongst themselves. One of them had turned around and I had made eye contact with him. As we passed by he said "hey ladies" about 3 or 4 times but we just ignored the bunch and kept walking. Then he was like "ok, hey men" about a couple times. His other friend said something about "pulling our dick up" or something of that nature.
I flipped them off and we just walked away. My friend wasn't phased by it (or maybe she was) but I was so tempted to go off. I was pissed. As I've read on this site, the only consolation we have as women is to speak up and put men in their place when these instances occur. Most times I just have so much rage that I wouldn't be able to have a calm dialogue with these so-called men. My reaction is to cuss at them or something along those lines. I know that doesn't solve anything, but it makes me feel a little bit better.
This has happened on several occasions and one time I had to involve the cops because the guy had grazed my breast, trying to get my attention as I was listening to my ipod.
I just wanted to share my story that even in open-minded San Francisco, CA, shady stuff can still go down. This behavior is universal and sometimes it's hard not to be disappointed in humanity. I will truck on and have promised myself to work on using my voice in a productive way when these situations happen, cos sadly, I know it's going to happen again and again.

If Darwin Had Known About DNA

Protein puts an end to the matter. It ends right with from the start. No bricks can come about by chance, let alone a palace. They cannot even account for the bricks in the palace. It is a clear miracle, the formation of proteins. In fact, Darwinists were long ago crushed intellectually, but some people are weak in faith. That is what underlies all the troubles going on. For example, that is what lies at the root of the fragmentation of the followers of the Nur. Weakness of faith lies behind the disappearance of certain communities. Weakness of faith is also why they are not active. That also happens on the Left. The Left used to have a powerful belief in disbelief. They went about everything to the death. They easily sacrificed their lives. But then they lost their faith. Why? Because I appeared, that is why. They lost their faith when
the Atlas of Creation
came out. They were only able to maintain the old, ignorant system. The exact opposite happened with Muslims. Darwin brought out his
Origin of Species
. Many Ottoman scholars just fell apart. Only the ignorant people who never read a book were able to survive. They had no rank or influence, and so the Ottoman Empire collapsed.
Some women and young people collapse very fast. They smoke and drink a lot. The third thing is that they eat a lot of fast food. They should just eat natural foods, not smoke and get plenty of sleep. They suffer the worst lack of love. A woman will be devastated and ruined without love, even though she takes vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C or whatever. But a woman who lives with love never falls apart or grows old. A woman who lives with true love never collapses. The cells need passion. A cell needs water, protein and oxygen. But above all else, the cells of the body need love. With love, the skin becomes luminous. The brain and mind and soul come to life. Depression stems from lack of love. The vertebrae collapse, hernias develop, and they all stem from lack of love, from tension. Anemia is due to lack of love. Children are generally exhausted.
When I go out, I see no joy in most people. Lovelessness is a national tragedy. An earthquake happens and they talk about an earthquake zone. But lovelessness is a far worse disaster than an earthquake. There is an attack and martial law is declared. Satan is assaulting the world now. That is a thousand times worse than a human attack. People die from that and go to paradise. But when satan attacks they are utterly ruined. That is the cause of all unhappiness. Attacks from the way of the dajjal (antichrist) and the sufyan. The way of the sufyan has devastated the Muslim world, and the way of the dajjal has devastated the world. Some people sit and look on. There is a vampire on them, sucking their blood, and they need to tear it off. But they don't. They just live with it. They are unhappy and dejected and joyless. They should seek shelter in Allah and the Qur'an. Pray to Allah, seek shelter in Him, surrender to Him, and Allah will protect you. The Prophet (saas) talks about the coming of the way of the dajjal. Read Surat al-Kahf. Surat al-Kahf talks of a civilization. What does that mean? The way of the Mahdi is the solution to the way of the dajjal. All Muslims must be a mahdi. What does Almighty Allah say?"
Struggle with them until there is no more corruption and the religion belongs to Allah alone
." How can corruption be lifted? Can corruption be lifted without the dominion of Qur'anic moral values? What does that mean? Strive until Qur'anic moral values prevail. To whom does Allah say that? To all Muslims. The name of the person who will bring that about is Hazrat Mahdi (as). Allah will bestow that on him alone, and on the Prophet Jesus (as). But can any Muslim say that this verse refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as) and so is no concern of mine? Every Muslim has a religious obligation to act on it. Verse 5 of Surat an-Nur speaks of Hazrat Mahdi's (as) task. Everyone has to be a mahdi in that respect. The person referred to as the Mahdi is anyone who fully acts in the light of these verses of the Qur'an. The dajjal is raising copies of himself. The Mahdi (as) will also produce his own copies. There is a huge conflict of ideas going on in the world. There is a huge, silent struggle between the way of the sufyan and the way of the Mahdi. The spirit, soul and philosophy of the way of the sufyan, communist, materialist and Darwinist thinking, led by Hafez Assad, have ruined the whole Islamic. Almost 90% of the Islamic world is in the hands of the way of the sufyan. Muslims are constantly being persecuted in Syria. We must line up with the way of the Mahdi to oppose this. The copies of the Mahdi (as) are coming about naturally. People are unaware of this. The Mahdi (as) is like the sun, always shining. The darkness of the way of the dajjal attracts the appropriate types of people. The dajjal is also always producing copies of. The copies of the dajjal are killing young girls, slaughtering and shedding blood and persecuting people.
Having complexes is a major problem. They regard being modern as something very important in themselves. They regard it as a system that compensates for their complexes.
Turkish-Islamic Union will have come about within the next 10 years. Everywhere will be happy, well-off and joyful.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Manning is one of the oldest family names to come from the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is derived from the Old English personal name Manning. According to some experts, this name is derived from the Old Norse word manningi, which means a valiant man.
The surname Manning was first found in Cheshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Manning has undergone many spelling variations, including Manning, Maning, Mannings and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Manning research. Another 161 words (12 lines of text) covering the years 1300, 1630 and 1711 are included under the topic Early Manning History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Manning Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Manning family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 59 words (4 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Manning were among those contributors:
Manning Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Manning Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Manning Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Manning Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Manning Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Manning Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Manning Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Manning Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Esse quam videri
Motto Translation: To be, rather than to seem.
The Manning Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Manning Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Inmates' escape attempt foiled by pole
Published: Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 10:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 29, 2009 at 10:25 a.m.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) It was less than a Great Escape.
Two New Zealand prisoners who were handcuffed together as they fled a courthouse foiled their own getaway when they ran to opposite sides of a light pole, slammed into each other and fell to the ground.
Jailers nabbed them as they struggled to their feet.
Their escapade on Wednesday was captured by a CCTV camera at Hastings District Court on New Zealand's North Island. The footage shows the two men trying to make a break for it but apparently forgetting they were joined at the wrist.
Hastings police Senior Sgt. Dave Greig said one inmate, Regan Reti, 20, had just been sent to prison for more than two years after being convicted of assault.
The other inmate, Tiranara White, 21, was in custody for allegedly stealing a car and violating parole.
"As they were being led from the Hastings police cells ... they made a bolt for freedom," Greig told The Associated Press on Thursday.
"They fell over and they were sprayed with pepper spray. But they got up and ran out of the court onto the street, across the road to a car park," he said. "That's where they met the pole it was all over, rover."
The pair were back in court Thursday, facing fresh charges of escaping from custody.
Police said Reti, who pleaded guilty to the charge, had a month added to his prison term. White did not enter a plea. He will remain in police custody while a psychiatric evaluation is carried out.
Grainy footage of the escapade shown on TV One News was billed as "one of the worst escape attempts ever seen."

Where can I find a "long range" calendar of street events?
I'd like to take a ride from Austin to NOLA to watch a couple of parades and second lines or similar.
Takin' it to the Streets is a great resource (and inspiration), but too short term to plan a long trip.
Also, when does the weather get mild down there? Things aren't fun when covered in sweat, out in public anyway.
All ideas & comments will be appreciated.
Thanks for the inspiration on YouTube, Ms. Bigredcotton! Much love & many prayers! Send her some help if you can. http://www.gofundme.com/2xmcaw

Government Wins Vote for ID Cards ... but It's Not Compulsory
Byline: By TOMOS LIVINGSTONE Western Mail
Plans for ID cards for every citizen in Britain were approved by MPs last night as the Government avoided a potentially damaging backbench rebellion. Despite opposition from civil liberties groups, opposition parties and some Welsh Labour MPs, the Commons approved the scheme in a series of votes last night. The cards, which will not be compulsory, are now set to be introduced in 2008. Ministers have always wanted people to have to automatically get a card when they apply for a passport, and, in the most contentious of last night's votes, they got their way by 310 votes to 279, a majority of 31. Peers will now have to decide whether they want to try to overturn this when the Bill returns to the Lords, threatening a constitutional stand-off between the two Houses. Prime Minister Tony Blair was missing from Westminster after being delayed in South Africa, but Chancellor Gordon Brown - in a sign both men are preparing for a handover of power - gave his support, saying, 'We will do what is right to protect the security and liberties of our citizens and country and in the face of global terrorism we will prevail.' Speaking in South Africa, Mr Blair said the Government had 'won the argument' on ID cards. Ministers say the cards will help stop illegal working, illegal immigration, identity fraud and terrorism, but questions remain over the cost. In England the cards will be needed to use public services - but the Assembly Government says this will not be the case in Wales. 'We have no active plans to make ID cards compulsory to access public services in Wales,' said a spokeswoman for the Assembly Government.
The Treasury also rejected claims from Plaid Cymru that the Assembly could be given a slice of the ID cards budget to spend on other services, saying this would not be the case as the cards were a UK-wide policy.
The Government backed down on making the cards compulsory, accepting a House of Lords amendment that said there should be a separate Act of Parliament first. That is unlikely to happen before the next election. Home Secretary Charles Clarke told the Commons, 'The benefits of the identity card scheme will grow steadily as more people obtain their cards. 'But Shadow Home Secretary David Davis warned MPs against allowing themselves to 'sleepwalk into the surveillance state', and said the cards could end up being a 'plastic poll tax'. Mr Blair missed the votes after the aeroplane bringing him home from a visit to South Africa aborted take-off at the last minute.
The pilot had spotted problems with an engine, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said.
Plaid Cymru AM Leanne Wood, who has said she would rather go to prison than carry an ID card, said the idea was 'risky, illiberal and an unnecessary burden on the tax payer'. Doug Jewell of civil rights group Liberty said, 'The Government has done a lot of work over the weekend to persuade backbenchers that they have taken on their concerns. …

Hilarious show!

Sloppy, unoriginal, cheap shots at humor. Vulgar, not funny. Not sure how two women jumping rope, wearing men's boxers, with fake penises sticking out through the front is supposedly funny. Half of the audience was drunk so I guess that was...continued

I have a Packard Bell EasyNote laptop running with Windows XP Home, Service Pack 2, Intel Pentium M processor 1.40 GHz, 512MB of RAM and Internet Explorer 7. Something went wrong with this system suddenly which stopped IE7 to work. Earlier it was working well but from yesterday whenever I try running internet explorer it says Offline, and when I try to make it online and start, it only loads the Address bar, Back and Forward keys and the Google search bar. Thats it. It wont allow me to do anything on this browser. And after a minute it itself gets shutdown with an error message saying:
IEXPLORER.EXE - Application Error - The instruction at 0x28f2f57b referenced, memory at 0x28f2f57b. The memory could not be read.
I thought upgrading to Internet Explorer 8 may fix the problem but it wont allow me to update as well. Any help would be appreciated.

Confusion over whether Vancouver Public Schools would have a snow day today was complicated when a robocall was accidentally sent out to some parents.
District officials say they do not know how many parents received the call, or how the error was made.
"Vancouver Public Schools remain open," said Tom Hagley, district spokesman. "We understand that an automated phone call was sent by another user. We don't know exactly who. It was erroneously sent to some parent households in Vancouver and we understand Evergreen (School District) experienced the same issue."
"School is in session," Hagley said. "It will continue on the regular session. Parents do not need to pick up their kids. Kids aren't being bused home early. They're on the regular schedule."
All evening activities for grades K-8 are canceled. In-town events for grades 9-12 will continue. Out-of-town athletic events are canceled.
Vancouver Public Schools evening and weekend activities:
All K-8 (elementary and middle school) activities are canceled tonight and this weekend. This includes the middle school wrestling tournament at Hudson's Bay High School on Saturday.
All grade 9-12 (high school) athletics and activities in town (Clark County) will continue as scheduled this evening and this weekend.
All Grade 9-12 (high school) athletics and activities out of town this evening and over the weekend are canceled.
The district released the following statement:
"At this time, we understand that an automated phone message originating from another system user also was sent in error to some parents in the Vancouver and Evergreen school districts. This 'robocall' was not initiated by Vancouver Public Schools."
The district posted the following message on its Facebook page around 11 a.m.:
"At this time, we understand that communication was erroneously sent by the district's robocall system. It may have been triggered by an event notification issued by another user. VPS schools are open and running on a regular schedule. Some evening activities have been affected."
Other districts reported the following.
Evergreen Public Schools
Evergreen Public Schools remained open and on the regular schedule. That includes an already-planned two-hour early release for K-8 students.
The district released the following information shortly before noon:
"For Friday: K-8 after-school activities and sports are cancelled; high school sports and activities continue as scheduled in Clark County and Portland area only, other out-of-area events are cancelled. For Saturday: all activities in Clark County and Portland continue as scheduled, all other out-of-area events are cancelled."
Just before noon the district posted this on its Facebook page:
"We understand some parents and staff may have received a recorded call indicating schools were closing early today. The call, generated by an outside company, was actually intended for parents of another school district and instead was sent to a wider audience-including some Evergreen contacts."
Battle Ground
Earlier this morning, Battle Ground Public Schools had announced a 2.5 hour late start. But as snow continued to accumulate and roads were slick, district officials decided to close the entire district.
"All activities are cancelled," said Sean Chavez, the district's spokesman. "That includes all sporting events and Cocoa and Caring at Glenwood Primary."
Battle Ground, geographically the largest school district in Clark County, stretches north past Amboy and Yacolt and south to Pleasant Valley, just north of the WSU Vancouver campus. The district has divided its schools into "north" and "south" regions. Sometimes snowstorms close the north region of the district but not the southern region. Today the entire district is closed.
The Camas School District announced its closure later in the morning, around 10 a.m., after it became evident the snow was sticking. Many students had already been bussed to school by the time the district made the announcement.
District spokeswoman Doreen McKercher said, by the time school buses began picking up students, snow flurries had started. Adding to the decision to close schools was the city's closure of several roads.
"It became evident it was getting worse and worse," she said.
The district started sending students home at 11 a.m.
Early this morning, Hockinson School District announced a two-hour late start, but as snow continued to fall, the district decided to close the district. Cascade Transportation, the district's bus company, did a 4 a.m. run.
"The roads were clear at that time," said Laurie Lemieux, district spokeswoman. "After the weather system moved in, they drove the road again and gave us updated information."
By that time, snow was falling. The bus company called the superintendent, who decided to close the district and cancel all evening activities.
"The higher percentage of our homes are in the hills," Lemieux said.
Washougal School District had not called a late start, so students already were en route or at school when district officials announced at 9 a.m. that the district would close, according to Cassi Marshall, administrative assistant to the superintendent.
"Our transportation officer is working with which roads are clearest to travel," Marshall said. "Usually, Cape Horn Skye has the most treacherous roads, but today, those roads are the clearest."
At 9:45 a.m., the Cape Horn Skye buses began loading students to return them to their homes, Marshall said.
"We have kids at school. As soon as those Cape Horn Skye buses return to the schools, then our in-town school routes will begin, estimated to be 10:45 a.m.," Marshall said. "There's a couple of hilly roads that the county is working on those roads to clear them. Either plow or salt.
"Sunset View Road, in town heading up into the hills, we've heard is really bad. That road is particularly problematic," Marshall said.
"Right now it's still coming down and our parking lot is very white," Marshall said. "Cars are moving very slowly on the main streets out here. It's moving much slower than usual."
The elementary schools called parents to see if they will be home so kids can be sent home on the buses. Parents also could pick their kids up at school if they prefer. If students can't be sent home, they will remain at school until their parents pick them up.
Middle school and high school students will be sent home on buses.
Cape Horn-Skye and Canyon Creek bus routes will begin around 10 a.m.
Gause and Hathaway bus routes will begin running at 10:45 a.m.
High School take home routes will start at 11:45 a.m.
Jemtegaard will start take home routes at noon.
Parents can calculate an approximate arrival time based on their student's normal drop off time. Please assume the take home bus routes will take a while longer than normal to get students home.
Washougal evening and weekend events
Washougal Festival of Trees, a community event with the local Lions Club, is running according to schedule: 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Hathaway Elementary School.
Washougal's Stuff the Bus event has been postponed until Monday.
The Jack Will and Rob Center is open for after-school care, but will close at 5 p.m.
Saturday's cheerleading event in Hockinson is still happening.
All other high school and middle school athletic events are canceled, including Saturday's middle school wrestling tournament.
Ridgefield and La Center
Both the Ridgefield and La Center school districts remained open and were not on snow routes.
Contrary to the rest of the county, there were reports of no snow sticking in La Center.
School closures
The following districts have reported closures or modified schedules/bus routes:
Clark County Schools
Battle Ground Sch. Dist. : Closed.
Head Start programs in Battle Ground and Yacolt: Cancelled.
Camas Sch. Dist. : Closed. NO PM K or Preschool. Students riding buses will be released at 11:00 for high school; 11:20 for middle schools; 12:30 for elementary. Parent who wish to pick up students can do so now.

Update Notes
Updated on: 04/05/2015
Since we last visited TheAvaAddams...
As you may have already guessed The Ava Addams is the official site of pornstar Ava Addams. If you want to see vids and pics of this busty MILF beauty, then this is definitely a site that'll interest you. And it has some great things going for it.
TheAvaAddams homepage lists all the latest content and also lets you see the newest additions to the network it's a part of. To see all of Ava's material, all you need to do is make your into the separate movie and photo sections.
There are 78 videos at this point and they can all be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded in a few different formats, like MP4, MPEG, QuickTime and Windows Media. There are also occasionally DivX-formatted AVI files to save. The exact ones differ from vid to vid, but you can count on Full HD for the newer movies and the older ones aren't too shabby either, with some in HD.
The movies are all hot, so it doesn't matter which one you start with or which one you end with. There are solo scenes that have Ava stripping and masturbating, lesbian scenes that have her hooking up with other hotties and hardcore scenes that show her giving blowjobs and taking cock. You can use tags and an advanced search engine to find scenes that'll appeal to you.
There are 106 sets of pictures waiting for you in the photo area. It looks like there are more at first glance, because a number of them have been broken up into two parts. They feature the same sexy sights as the videos. You can view these high-res images in slideshows and download them in Zip files.
Ava doesn't update that often, with only one new set of pictures in the last month and her newest video dates from more than a month ago. The time between updates can be used to explore the dozen or so sites in the Brand Danger network, including Club Jayden, Play With Faye and The Lisa Ann.
The Ava Addams isn't a perfect site, but if you're a fan of its star, I think you'll find it to be worthy of your time and money. You'll definitely have a good time checking out this MILF's porn.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
