Have you been vaccinated against hepatitis? Has anyone you know had a heart attack and been saved by a clot-busting drug?
Genetic engineering has helped millions of people by turning gene-altered bacteria into microscopic factories that produce life-saving drugs. Nearly everyone welcomes those advances in medicine.
But corn flakes, salad dressing, and other foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients have gotten a decidedly cooler reception.
Using biotechnology to produce food has enormous potential: safer pesticides and less harm to wildlife, more nutritious foods, and greater yields to help feed the worlds hungry nations. Its the risks of dicing and splicing Mother Nature that are harder to get a handle on.
This month, we interview Doug Gurian-Sherman and Gregory Jaffe, co-directors of the Biotechnology Project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, publisher of Nutrition Action Healthletter.
Q: What does it mean to genetically engineer something?
DGS: It means to remove genes from one organisma plant, animal, or microbeand transfer them to another. Most genes are simply codes, or blueprints, that tell a cell to make a protein.
So far, most genetically engineered food ingredients are made from plants. Theyre found in products like corn flakes made using genetically engineered corn, or salad dressing made with oil from genetically engineered soybeans. Gene-altered fish are in the works, while meat and poultry are years off.
Q: Why transfer genes from one plant or animal to another?
DGS: To give it some desirable trait. For example, a gene from a bacterium can enable corn and cotton plants to produce their own pesticide, one thats harmless to humans and to most insects that dont damage the crop. That allows farmers to use lessor less harmfulpesticides to get greater yields.
Q: How widespread are genetically engineered crops in the U.S.?
GJ: In 2001, over half of the cotton and soybean crops were genetically engineered. So was a quarter of our corn. Most of our corn and soybean crops are fed to animals, so the meat and poultry we eat is likely to come from animals raised on genetically engineered feed.
Q: Should we be nervous about eating food that contains genes from another organism?
GJ: No. In most cases, we arent eating those genes. For instance, by the time a genetically engineered corn plant has been processed into corn oil or high fructose corn syrup, virtually none of the genesor the proteins they produceare left in the food.
But even if a foodlike the cornmeal used to make many cerealsdoes contain new genes or proteins, thats not necessarily a problem. We eat foods with new genes and proteins all the time. The tomatoes, potatoes, and wheat we buy in the supermarket have been genetically altered by breeding them with wild relatives.
That kind of traditional cross-breeding, which weve been doing for decades, often produces foods that contain genes and proteins that people have never been exposed to before. And, like it or not, were constantly eating the genes and proteins of harmless bacteria that inadvertently end up on our food.
Q: But a gene from an animal would never end up in a corn plant naturally, because the two organisms are too different to breed.
GJ: Thats why we need to make sure that genetically engineered foods are safe before they reach the market. Its not inherently risky to mix genes from different organisms, but to play it safe, we should carefully test genetically engineered foods to ensure that they are safe.
Q: What should genetically engineered foods be tested for?
DGS: Whenever you put a new gene into a food, either through traditional breeding or genetic engineering, there are at least two major concerns. One is whether the new genes or proteins might produce toxinsthat is, anything that can cause harm in the short or long term. The other concern is whether the new gene might produce a protein that triggers an allergic reaction in a person who eats the food.
Q: Have new allergens ended up in a genetically engineered crop?
GJ: Yes. It happened when scientists unwittingly transferred an allergen from brazil nuts to soybean plants. But a routine test detected the allergen, and the soy was never marketed. That just underscores why its so important that the government require companies to test genetically engineered foods for new allergens.
Q: How good is that testing?
DGS: It could be better. Unless were dealing with known allergens, like the one in the brazil nut, theres no way to be absolutely sure if a protein will or wont trigger an allergic reaction until a lot of people eat it. What the Food and Drug Administration or Environmental Protection Agency should do is require companies to test every newly introduced protein to see if it resembles known food allergens.
Thats what happened with the infamous StarLink corn, which contains a gene taken from a bacterium. The gene produces a protein called Cry9C, which kills a major pest called the corn borer. So it looked promising to farmers. But because Cry9C passes through the digestive tract intact, it also looked like a potential allergen to the EPA, which approved its use only in animal feed. StarLink corn was never meant to be eaten by humans.
Q: So how did it get into taco shells and other foods?
GJ: Aventis, the company that created StarLink corn, didnt make sure that farmers and grain processors abided by government rules to keep StarLink separate from other strains of corn. As a result, tiny amounts of StarLink ended up in dozens of foods, and at least 44 people reported suffering possible allergic reactions after eating them.
Q: So a genetically engineered food has given us a new allergen?
DGS: Were not sure. When government scientists tested the blood of some of the people who reported allergic reactions, they couldnt detect any trace of a reaction to Cry9C. But those tests arent 100 percent reliable, so we dont know if the people reacted to Cry9C or not. In any case, the EPA has since decided that from now on it will only approve genetically engineered crops for animals that are also safe for people to eat. As for StarLink, its no longer being grown, so its rapidly disappearing from the food supply.
Q: Could genetically engineered foods be toxic?
DGS: Some could. When a gene is transferred from one organism to another, theres no way to know which chromosome the gene will end up on, where it will settle on that chromosome, or how it might alteror be altered bythe genes around it. We need to guard against unexpected toxins in genetically engineered plants because we know its happened with traditionally bred plants. Again, thats why these crops should be tested before we eat them.
Q: Are genetically engineered foods less nutritious than conventional foods?
DGS: No. They typically have the same amounts of vitamins, minerals, protein, and other major nutrients as conventional foods. Companies dont usually test for phytochemicals like lutein or lycopene because theyre not yet considered nutrients. But the FDA should consider changes in key phytochemicals when it decides whether to approve new foods.
Q: If a corn plant were engineered with a gene from a cow, could a vegetarian eat it in good conscience? Or could a steak from a cow that was given a gene from a pig be eaten by an observant Jew or Muslim?
GJ: Any genetic scientist would tell you that a corn plant with a gene from a cow hasnt been tainted by meat, and a cow with a gene from a pig hasnt been tainted by the pig. But when youre talking about religious or ethical beliefs, the science doesnt always rule. So Id say that those are decisions that every person has to make for him or herself.
Q: Are genetically engineered crops good or bad for the environment?
GJ: So far, theyre a plus. Last year, for example, thanks to genetically engineered cotton that produces its own insecticide, farmers reduced their use of highly toxic insecticides by several million pounds. Thats impressive, because the cotton crop has accounted for four out of every ten pounds of insecticides used in the U.S. each year.
And farmers who grow the most popular genetically engineered food crop, Monsantos Roundup Ready soybeans, spray their crops less often. So even if that doesnt reduce the amount of pesticides they apply, as some biotech critics have noted, theyre using a safer one. Roundup is much less toxic than many other herbicides. Farmers can also till the soil less often, which means less water pollution and soil erosion.
Q: What are Roundup Ready soybeans?
DGS: Theyre soybeans that are immune to glyphosate herbicides like Roundup. So when farmers spray Roundup Ready soybean plants with the herbicide, it kills weeds without harming the plants. The same gene has also been introduced into seed for corn, canola, and cotton.
Q: What other genes are being genetically engineered into crops?
GJ: One of the most popular is Bt, which is extracted from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis. Organic farmers have been spraying Bt bacteria on their crops for years, because it produces a protein that poisons certain insect pests but is harmless to animals, people, and most other insects.
Scientists have transferred the gene that makes the insect-killing protein from Bt bacteria to corn, cotton, and potatoes. So those engineered plants can make their own environment-friendly pesticide, and farmers dont need to use as much chemical pesticides, which are far more indiscriminate killers.
Q: Is Bt in corn on the cob?
GJ: No. The sweet corn that ends up as corn on the cob or frozen or canned corn isnt genetically engineered. Nor are the soybeans that go into tofu and soymilk.
Q: Why arent they genetically engineered?
DGS: Because farmers are worried that consumers wont buy them. And thats unfortunate. In Florida, where much of the countrys sweet corn is grown, the crop is often sprayed with insecticides 10 or 12 times every season. Why? Because farmers know that shoppers wont buy corn on the cob if its been chewed by insects. They could probably cut their spraying down to twice a season if they planted Bt corn. Thats one of the lost benefits of biotechnology.
In addition, genetically engineered cropslike potatoes and sugar beetscould be grown with far less pesticides, soil erosion, and loss of innocent wildlife. But theyre not.
Q: Because companies worry that people wont buy them?
GJ: Thats right. Food manufacturers fear that some consumers wont buy foods made with genetically engineered ingredients. Potatoes are a great example. Scientists have genetically engineered some strains to kill insect pests and to resist two destructive viruses. But McDonalds wont buy genetically engineered potatoes because its afraid that biotech critics will mount a campaign against them.
Q: Could genetically engineered crops harm the environment?
DGS: Yes. Thats why the Environmental Protection Agency has to develop tests to ensure that they are safe. For example, in theory, the new genes in biotech crops could spread to other plants and create superweeds.
Heres the scenario. If pollen from an herbicide-resistant plant gets carried by the wind, it could pollinate a weed thats a relative of the plant. That could make the offspring weeds resistant to the herbicide. Or genes that make a plant resistant to insects or viruses could cross-breed into the wild relative, increasing its ability to survive.
Q: So we end up with more aggressive weeds?
DGS: Yes, though so far thats only a risk for squash and possibly canola, which are the only genetically engineered crops with wild relatives in the U.S. It could be a bigger problem if farmers started planting genetically engineered wheat, sunflower, sorghum, or other crops that have wild relatives. But scientists dont yet know whether those plants would become more aggressive weeds. To find out, we need more and better research.
Q: Can genetically engineered crops also become weeds?
GJ: Yes. Lets say some seeds from an herbicide-resistant crop remain in the soil after the harvest. If a farmer rotates crops, those seeds could grow into plants that are immune to the herbicides that the farmer uses on the new crop.
That seems to be happening with some genetically engineered herbicide-resistant canola plants in Canada, although it isnt clear if its a serious problem.
Q: Do genetically engineered plants kill Monarch butterflies?
DGS: Probably not. In 1999, a laboratory experiment showed that a heavy dose of pollen from Bt corn could kill caterpillars that develop into Monarch butterflies.
Since then, however, studies in fields in Iowa, Nebraska, Maryland, and Ontario have found that the plants dont produce pollen thats toxic enough to kill the caterpillars. And dont forget: conventional insecticides kill all kinds of insects, not just Monarchs.
Q: Can Bt or similar crops harm other good insects?
DGS: In theory, yes. Insects like ladybugs, which help protect crops by eating insect pests, could be harmed by eating genetically engineered plants or pollen or by eating insects that have fed on genetically engineered crops. In the laboratory, scientists have managed to harm a few beneficial insectsbut not birds or other animalsby feeding them high doses of Bt or insect pests that had eaten Bt.
But we wont know if its a problem in the real world until the EPA requires companies to conduct more field tests. Only then can we be confident that the crops are safe.
Q: Could insects become resistant to the Bt pesticide thats made by genetically engineered corn and other crops?
GJ: Eventually, insects can become resistant to almost any pesticide, genetically engineered or not. In the Philippines, for example, the Diamond- back moth became resistant to Bt due to conventional spraying, not to genetically engineered plants.
To prevent insects from becoming resistant, the EPA requires that farmers who grow genetically engineered Bt crops also plant conventional crops nearby as refuges where insects arent exposed to Bt. In theory, that should allow non-resistant insects to flourish, though no one knows how long the refuge strategy will work.
Q: So if were not careful, the use of Bt to replace more-toxic pesticides will be lost?
GJ: Thats right. Bt illustrates that the way we use biotechnology will determine how helpful it will ultimately be. Seed companies and many farmers want smaller refuges, because that means more genetically engineered seed sold and more crops grown. That may be good for profits in the short term. But if it meant that a relatively benign pesticide like Bt became worthless and farmers had to resort to far more damaging chemical pesticides, it could be disastrous in the long term.
Q: Does the same balancing act apply to other genetically engineered crops?
DGS: Yes. For example, aluminum-tolerant crops could allow farmers in developing nations to plant on marginal lands. But if farmers plant those crops in the aluminum-rich soil of tropical forests, well lose rain forest. And salt-tolerant tomatoes or a drought-tolerant crop could save precious water, but if theyre grown in semi-arid land that is currently not farmed, it could lead to further loss of natural habitats.
Q: Could genetically engineered crops somehow harm the soil?
DGS: In traditional agriculture, land can become less fertile over the years. Current biotech crops are likely to be safer for the soil.
But scientists have recently discovered that the Bt pesticide made by at least one type of genetically engineered corn seems to leak into the soil. A recent study found that it didnt harm earthworms or several other creatures that live below ground. But its just one more reason why the EPA must develop tests that crops have to pass before they can be marketed.
Q: Are organically grown crops better for people and the environment than genetically engineered crops?
GJ: Organic is often best, and the government needs to help farmers move from conventional agriculture to organic. But thats no reason to reject biotechnology, which can also protect the environment. Organic and biotech are improvements over conventional agriculture. We need research and support for both.
Q: How does the government regulate genetically engineered crops?
GJ: The U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for making sure that they dont harm other crops. If a crop makes its own pesticide, the EPA has to review the companys tests and approve the pesticide as safe for humans and the environment. And that process is open to the public. Other genetically engineered food plants are regulated by the FDA, which does not formally approve crops before they can be grown, harvested, and sold. It should.
Q: Does the FDA see any safety data?
GJ: The agency encourages companies to voluntarily submit test results, but doesnt tell them which tests to carry out. It needs to. So far, biotech firms have submitted some results for all of their genetically engineered crops, probably to cover their behinds. The FDA says that it plans to require companies to provide safety data, even though it still wont formally approve crops. While thats better than keeping the process voluntary, its not the best way to protect people.
Q: What should the government be doing?
DGS: First, before any genetically engineered plant or animal is grown in a way that can affect the environment, it should have to pass a thorough review by the EPA. Second, before any genetically engineered crops are turned into food, the FDA should have to formally approve them, as it currently does with genetically engineered animals. That means requiring companies to show that their crops are not toxic, dont contain any allergens, and dont pose other risks. Finally, the FDAs review of genetically engineered plants and animals should be open to the public, and the tests that it and the EPA require should be recommended by an independent organization like the National Academy of Sciences.
Q: Why dont labels disclose when foods contain genetically engineered ingredients?
GJ: Because they dont have to. The governments position is that it cant require labeling because genetic engineering per se doesnt make foods substantially different from their non-biotech counterparts. And if a food were differentfor example, if it had more unsaturated fat than usual then its label would have to disclose that difference, but not that the food was genetically engineered.
Nevertheless, the FDA needs to find a way to give consumers information about genetically engineered foods in an accurate, value-free way that doesnt raise the price of our food. It would be a shame to lose the benefits of biotechnology because of a backlash by consumers who feel that information is being hidden from them.
1. The genetically engineered foods that are currently on the market are safe. By increasing yields and reducing the use of pesticides, they benefit farmers and the environment.
2. To ensure that new genetically engineered plants and animals are safe for humans and the environment, Congress should institute a mandatory government approval process that is open to public participation and review.
3. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should monitor the environmental impact of genetically engineered crops. It should require more field testing, enforce insect refuges for Bt crops, and adopt other environmental safeguards.
4. The U.S. government should fund more research on genetic engineering, especially on fruits, vegetables, and other crops that are not of great commercial interest to the biotechnology companies.
5. To enable developing nations to benefit from biotechnology, the U.S. government should:

Women's Squash Heads To Trinity, Looks For Momentum Heading Into Howe Cup
The fifth-ranked Princeton women's squash team heads to Hartford, Conn., Saturday to take on the second-ranked Trinity Bantams in the regular season finale for both teams.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams since Trinity upset top-seeded Princeton in the 2013 Howe Cup semifinals by a 6-3 score. Trinity won two of the the three matches decided by 3-2 scores, while three of the other showdowns were close four-game matches. Trinity ended up falling to Harvard in the Howe Cup final, and it has held the No. 2 ranking throughout the season.
Princeton is currently ranked fifth, though it could stake a claim to a higher rank for next week's Howe Cup National Championships (Feb. 21-23 in Princeton) with a Saturday win. The Tigers are getting healthier as the season winds down, and they showed good form in a 9-0 win over sixth-ranked Cornell last Sunday.
Freshman Maria Elena Ubina had one of her best wins of the season against Cornell, defeating Danielle Letourneau in a tight five-game match (11-9, 11-7, 12-14, 10-12, 11-8). Letourneau was coming off a win over Penn's Anaka Alankamony, who joins Ubina as one of the contenders for Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors.
Ubina will be tested again Saturday when she takes on Trinity's Kanzy El Defrawy, the 2013 national individual finalist.
Princeton has gotten strong play throughout its lineup, including five straights wins from Nicole Bunyan at the No. 3 spot. Bunyan's best win in that streak came against Yale, when she defeated Shihui Mao 11-7, 11-8, 11-9; Mao had defeated Bunyan 3-2 last season.
Trinity is currently 12-1 this season, with its lone loss coming by a 5-4 score at No. 1 Harvard.

Wind, solar share some problemsMarch 14,2013
A criticism of wind power seems to be that it is intermittent and thus cannot be used as a base load. Because of this intermittent behavior it is also claimed that a continuously running backup power system must be kept on line, thereby using additional energy.
It is rarely pointed out that these same problems exist for solar; in fact they may cause bigger problems:
1. The sun does not shine at night, thus depending on the time of year there would by anywhere from about nine to 15 hours of darkness at the latitude of Vermont (wind may blow any time during the day or night).
2. Even during daylight a passing cloud will quickly drop the power of the solar panels.
3. Especially during winter, many days may pass with an overcast greatly reducing the amount of available light.
The above similarities should be kept in mind when discussing wind energy.

arrayOfObjects.PNG, expected result when result is returned.
Please refer to the 104Kb arrayOfObjects.PNG instead of the 85Kb one.
The mysql result handler fetches result using mysql_fetch_assoc while iterating through the rows of the result. It would be great if it could use mysql_fetch_object and then set the types of each of the fields of the fetched object.

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsFebruary 5, 2014
How important are the people who represent employers during the college recruiting process? Consider that nearly 90 percent of college students pursuing bachelor's degrees who responded to a recent survey by the Scott Resource Group (SRG) said that their experience with an employer's representatives during the recruitment process has strengthened the students' interest in the employer.
"Conversely," says Mary Scott, SRG's founder and president, "more than 70 percent of students indicated that their experience with an employer's representatives during the recruitment process has diminished the students' interest in the employer. This illustrates the power—both positive and negative—an organization's representatives have on the college recruiting process."
Students also indicated that recruiters are the most influential forces during their job searches, even more so than classmates (2), previous internships (3), parents (8), faculty members (9), and others.
Scott feels that even though college recruiting is and always will be a "people business," she says selecting and training representatives to be brand differentiators is one of the most easily overlooked aspects of recruiting.
"Students are so caught up in all the marketing employers generate to try to differentiate themselves, it becomes a blur to the students," she explains. "[Students] say that every employer looks the same to them. Oddly enough, the more employers use technology, the more it's truly the people from the firm who differentiate it, for better or worse. That one-step meet-and-greet becomes the organization to each and every student."
Scott says that, first and foremost, college students want dignity and respect from their interactions with recruiters. This can get "muddied up" in some of the behaviors that representatives unwittingly engage in during career fairs or even interviews—such as using a cell phone to check text messages or respond to an e-mail or voicemail—and represents a lack of respect for the student.
Employers should seek representatives who have enthusiasm for the organization and for getting to know students, and project honesty and candor. Furthermore, training—an important element to having effective representatives—should impart knowledge of the organization and, to some degree, information about the specific positions for which the organization is recruiting.
In their interactions, Scott found that students enjoy interacting with recent alums, not as interviewers, but as individuals who can talk genuinely and candidly about what it's like to work for an organization in a way that doesn't seem canned.
"[These and all] representatives should take a personal interest in the student," Scott says. "Students tend to have an exaggerated sense of how much of a recruiter's time they are entitled to, but if the response they get to each of their questions is 'You can find it on our website,' students wonder why employers are there and it makes recruiters dispensable in the eyes of a lot of students."
Training—an important element to having effective representatives—should be provided through all economic cycles and should impart knowledge of the organization and information about the specific positions for which the organization is recruiting.
"Training seems to become dispensable whenever organizations try to do more with less," Scott says. "The first thing that gets cut is training. Some organizations think they can throw some talking points at representatives and they've done their job. That's as far from the truth as you can get."
The consequences—especially in this age of hyperconnectivity—could be damaging.
"There's always the very real possibility that negative perceptions will be formed as students talk to each other about their experiences with specific representatives and, therefore, specific companies," Scott notes. "When you add in the layer of websites, you can truly have a [student's bad experience with your representatives] go viral."
But, when done right, putting an emphasis on identifying and training the right representatives throughout all economic cycles can deliver a sizable ROI.

This week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in partnership with Cleveland Hopkins International airport unveiled a new exhibit showcasing the work of celebrated rock and roll photographer and Cleveland native Janet Macoska. Travelers will experience the new "Live from Cleveland, Ohio!" exhibit in the Public Art Gallery at the entrance to Concourse A – a welcome to travelers befitting Cleveland's status as a true rock and roll city.
Macoska has been capturing some of rock's greatest moments regularly since 1974. Her photos have been published in Rolling Stone, People, US, Vogue, American Photo, Creem, 16 Magazine, The New York Times and The London Times as well as appearing on VH1 and other film productions.
"Growing up in Cleveland provided the perfect stage to build my career as a photographer in love with rock music," says Macoska. "In 2014, I will have been working this mission for 40 years. The images you will see in this exhibition are favorites of mine, captured during the coolest concerts to come through Cleveland along with some of the best moments I've experienced as house photographer for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum."
Macoska's catalog of award-winning photography features a who's who of rock royalty: Aerosmith, Heart, Michael Jackson, Kiss (above: picture of Gene Simmons of Kiss performing live in 1978) Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Queen, Rod Stewart, the Rolling Stones, Van Halen and many, many more.
Her work is not only a permanent fixture at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, The National Portrait Gallery in London and in Hard Rock Café restaurants, casinos and hotels around the world, but artists such as David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and the Kinks have used her photography on their album covers.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum presented a retrospective exhibition of her photography in 2003 and 2004 entitled "It's Only Rock and Roll." That exhibition has since toured to The Women's Museum in Dallas (2009), the Canadian Exposition in Toronto (2010), The Cornell Museum of Fine Arts in Orlando (2011), South Shore Arts in Indiana (2012) and the Longwood Center for Visual Arts in Virginia (2013).
The "Live from Cleveland, Ohio!" exhibit in the Public Art Gallery at the entrance to Concourse A at Cleveland Hopkins International airport will be on view through September 2014.

Mothers are pretty much required to have this multitasking thing down. Perhaps that's why new research is finding, despite the stereotypes, that working moms make excellent employees.
Forbes reports recent data show that absences from work stemming from injury, illness or other medical problems are often two to three times more frequent than absences due to "child care problems; other family or personal obligations; civic or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave."
"Clearly, providing a small accommodation to pregnant employees saves the employer and our economy money in the long run," Dina Bakst, the co-founder and co-president of A Better Balance: The Work & Family Legal Center, tells Forbes.

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
Words I Never Said. Makes me realize that I need to speak out about what I believe is the right thing!
Hip Hop Saved My Life Live. I love hearing that song live. The energy, the content, and the crowd participation will keep me coming to see Lupe live for ages.
It's seriously hard to dumb down and pick one Lupe Fiasco song as my favourite but I'm going to pick All Black Everything even though I fully rock with n love "Dedicated", "All Black Everything" is a song that captures the mood and the attention of someone who is socially aware when I first heard the song I loved it straight away. People say that there is no cure to racism this song is a cure. After all -We stayed in Africa. -We ain't never leave. -There was no slaves in our history. -No slave ships no Misery. & I know it's just a fantasy I cordially invite you to ask why can't it be?
i would have to say '2 ways' is my favourite song. the lyrics are just so meaningful and inspiring. the line i like most is 'i cant win if its me agaisnt me, one of us aint gonna survive'. however i wish he put the version he performs live on his album, it sounds much better with out all the sound effects and the autotune and allows lupe to express the raw emotion of the song. :)
Too many to just choose just one song.... but for the sake of a chance to win a signed Lupe poster I'll go with "The Coolest".Reason: ~If the rain stops and everything's dry, she would cry just to so I can drink the tears from her eyes....~
I have to say my favorite song was "American Terrorist" until I heard "Words I Never Said." For an artist who gets mainstream exposure and recognition, I feel it is great that you are getting these political and social awareness messages across in your music. In these songs, especially "Words I Never Said," you say everything I've been thinking and wish I could say to a large audience. The war on terror is a bunch of bullshit. Our education system is garbage because an educated public is a threat to the status quo. Mainstream media, the 4th branch of the government, is a joke. The banking system is crooked to keep us debt, and ultimately enslaved. Obama is a puppet and it don't matter who gets elected, democrat or republican, nothing will get fixed. Although these are just symptoms of the real problem that plagues our society, it's important that you point these things out in your music to raise awareness so that hopefully one day we can work towards a more sustainable and peaceful future for everyone on this planet. You speak the truth and you represent the real people who really know what's going on around us. For that, we thank you..
My favorite song by Lupe Fiasco would have to be The Show Goes on, because of its very catchy beat and lyrics that represent something, rather than random lyrics like some other singer/songwriters out there. it sends out a good message while also being very easy to listen to
My favourite Lupe Fiasco song is Coming Up feat MDMA, the lyrics are powerful and I have not heard such an addicting and inspiring beat in so long. His voice is like marshmallow dipped in hot chocolate, it just melts your heart away. I listen to this song multiple times every day of the week because it makes me happy and being happy on any given day is an achievement especially with the world we live in. I like his rhymes and the context in which he evokes emotion. MDMA's voice is especially well done and the producer/engineers should be very proud of the record they have produced. This song is a hit and I am glad that I have all the respect for it before it goes global. "In this world you are never really on your own" - Lupe has it down pat and I think that this is his best album to date. I enjoy listening to every song on the album Lasers and for that to happen in this world with music is incredible. So many albums have songs that you don't mix with, I cannot find one on this album that I don't like or listen to. Coming up is the epitome of creativity and innovation of music at its best. In life your future can be bright or dark and Lupe seems to cover all aspects of life in such a short time span of 56 minutes and 9 seconds, that being the total length of his album 'Lasers' altogether. 'Coming up' takes 3 minutes and 58 seconds out of that total. His 3 minute and 58 second song achieves what all musicians hope to achieve and that is to gather the success and support from the audience members for a particular song and album. I have been hooked since the album was released. Coming Up is like whipped cream to the fresh strawberries coated in chocolate, pure bliss
All time favorite song is And He Gets The Girl. It's always been my theme song the past few years ever since I heard it, since I never was the popular kid around that hung out with the football players. I'm not bad looking or anything, I just was shy and quiet and sat around. But I always chased this one girl who was the girl of my dreams, who finally gave me a chance.... Lupe been a part of my life, he's my inspiration for life.
My favorite song is "All Black Everything" because it makes me think about how my life would be if everything was different, would I even exist? Would there be a genre called rap or hip hop? Would we have all the leaders that we have now if there was nothing to lead us against?
It's extremely hard to pick just one, overall I'd have pick Dumb It Down. The reason I chose this song is because of its lyrical contest as it describes the music industry.
Many boys use the excuse of "love" to manipulate a woman into thinking that they are pursuing them for the right intentions. A vast majority abuse this, except for my ex boyfriend. When he told me I was his sunshine, his moonlight, and the starry skies above him, he meant it. We ended our relationship two and a half years ago, but he continues to prove that the night he dedicated "Sunshine" to me, that it was sincere. "Sunshine" is a reminder that good exists and not all the evils that are prevalent in Lupe's songs such as "Words I Never Said" and "Dumb It Down" are not dominating. "Sunshine" will always warm my heart and bring a grin upon my face.

"Sunshine" will always warm my heart and bring a grin upon my face.
Favorite song: 'Words I Never Said' Why?: I agree with the lyrics. I remember Lupe saying it's highly controversial and when it premiered Feb. 1st I got goosebumps when I heard it. I hate the war on terror, I hate how the US media glamorizes negativity, feeds it's viewers lies and covers unnecessary celebrity fluff. I feel our education system needs help. I feel Islam is misunderstood. I hate giant corporations and banks who care only about profits and satisfying their shareholders. The video for the song is awesome as well, probably my favorite video of Lupe's songs. I also like how Lupe made this song as a dedication to his fans protesting for the release of this album.
My favorite has to be American Terrorist. Straight up pure thought and soul, Lu spits everything and carries a certain emotion thats not really felt in a lot of music anymore. So 1 for the message, 2 for the flow, and 3 for the depth.
My favorite Lupe song would be Daydreamin'. It's off my favorite album of Lupe's which is F&L. It has a great message behind it. I can keep it on repeat all day long. Once I heard Daydreamin' I was hooked. Love you Lu!! And thanks for the opportunity to win a signed poster - best contest ever!!! We are all beautiful lasers
Out off all the songs Lupe has done. My favorite one out of all of them was "Could of been" of his mix tape "Before There Were Lasers" I picked that song because every time I listen to I think about where I could be if it wasn't for the grace of God. This song also makes me think about my friends and what they doing with they life right now since they dropped out of school or didn't even go to college. It helps me stay on track and stay focus on what I'm doing and to never stop because I rather be where I'm on my way to success at now then anywhere else doing below average things and not looking forward to anything.
Mine would be The Instrumental, the lyrics are just amazing and Jonah Matrananga* did amazing as well, keep up the good work Lupe! LASERS!!!
It's extremely hard to pick just one, overall I'd have pick Hurt Me Soul because it's so damn good, laid back sounding but great lyrics. Little Weapon, He say She Say, and All Black Everything are pretty close though
My Favorite Lupe song is "Put You On Game" hands down! It is shows lupe's lyrical prowess at its best and singlehandedly defines the rap game in 3 minutes of greatness!
Off of the L.A.S.E.R.S. album, I'm in love with "Coming Up". It makes me feel like a classic Cali song. So carefree. 'you aint never gotta worry about nothing'. Pure Blissssssss.
I want to say Mean & Vicious because that was the first song by you I had ever listened the beat at the start got me thinking the song was rockin' and then it dropped oh the first verse how awesome can a song get loved your music ever since (that was about a year ago). The one song that I feel most connected to you is Hurt Me Soul the chours doesn't do much for me but I love it still. The line that hits me hardest is probably the very beginning "Now I ain't trying to be the greatest I used to hate Hip-Hop because the women degraded" I also used to hate Hip-Hop I never thought modern music took any skill I listened to pretty much everything except Punk, Heavy Metal, and Pop. When I first heard my friend rapping My Name Is by Eminem I changed for the good Hip-Hop was and still is everything in my life no matter what happens out there I know I can put on my rap albums and relate to people like you and many other talented artists (Key Word: talented eg. Eminem, NWA, Nas, Jay-Z and You Lu) I know this is a random pick and all so good luck to everyone else Peace & Much Love To Ya
It's really hard to choose just one. I like all of his song but if I had to pick one it would have to be kick, push. The beat is so clean, I could keep the song on repeat all day and never get bored of it. His flow is sick. I relate to the song because I used to skate and a lot of the things he says in the song I did myself. It's also the first song I heard by him. :) I hope that I win(crosses fingers)
Gotta be the first Lupe song i heard... Kick push, it was more then just a song it was a story and thats not just this one but all his songs.It got me hooked and haven't left Lupe yet and never will.

Graduated from Military Engineering Academy, Monino, 1969, with an engineering diploma in electronics Civilian Parachutist. Soviet Air Force. Cosmonaut training April 1962 - 21 January 1965. Chief of Geophysical Laboratory of TsPK. From 1991 retired from active duty. After marriage to a former cosmonaut candidate her family name was Pitskhelauri.
Birth Place: Gorki.
Status: Inactive.
Born: 1941.07.14.
In May 1962 a Soviet delegation, including cosmonaut Gherman Titov and Kamanin, visited Washington. On May 3 Kamanin and Titov were invited to a barbecue at the home of astronaut John Glenn. Glenn, already politically-connected, was an enthusiastic supporter of the 'Mercury 13' - female pilots who had passed the astronaut physical and were lobbying to be trained as Mercury astronauts. Kamanin understood from Glenn that the first American woman would make a three-orbit Mercury flight by the end of 1962. Armed with the threat that 'the Americans will beat us', Kamanin was able to obtain a decision to go ahead with the first flight of a Soviet woman within weeks of his return.
Meanwhile the five female cosmonaut were going through the complete course of cosmonaut training, including weightless flights, parachute jumps, isolation tests, centrifuge tests, and academic studies of rocket theory and spacecraft engineering. The women undertook 120 parachute jumps and received pilot training in MiG-15UTI jet trainers.
Even though NASA's female astronaut flight never materialised, Valentina Tereshkova of the Soviet Union became the first woman in space on June 16, 1963. Following her flight the women were enrolled in the arduous test pilot course at the Zhukovskiy Academy (except Ponomareva, who was a graduate engineer from the Moscow Aviation Institute). There were plans for all-female Vostok or Soyuz flights, but these never materialised. The female training group was disbanded in October 1969. The Soviet Union used only male cosmonauts until the 1980's, when women were again recruited, in order to again have a Soviet woman in space before the Americans finally began flying female astronauts on the space shuttle.
Kamanin does not minimise Korolev's key role in creating the Soviet space program, but believes the collectives can continue the program without him. In truth, Kamanin feels Korolev has made many errors of judgment in the last three years that have hurt the program. Mishin, Korolev's first deputy, will take over management of Korolev's projects. Kamanin feels that Mishin is a clever and cultured engineer, but he is no Korolev. Over the next three days the cosmonauts console Korolev's widow.
Korolev's surgery was done personally by Petrovskiy, the Minister of Health. Korolev was told the surgery would take only a few minutes, but after five hours on the operating table, his body could no longer endure the insult, and he passed away.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janetoplanet Foot friendly! I love this rug! It is well-made and has lovely colors. It suits my kitchen ever so nicely! December 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by lcri Beautiful, plush wool rug The rug arrived quickly, in fact, a day earlier than I expected. The colors are not as vibrant as my monitor showed but nonetheless extremely lovely. I purchased the rug for my small foyer whose only source of natural light is a narrow sidelight. The rug brightens the space and, at this time of year (autumn), the pumpkin-colored background is an added bonus. There was a faint wool-smell the first couple of days but seems to be gone. So far no problem with fuzz, though I do vacuum often. Highly recommend if you want to add color to a space September 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gilly1212 (R)ugs not Drugs This is a seriously excellent rug. I had been eyeing this rug since before I had a proper floor on which to place it, and now my dreams have come true. The colors coordinate with so many of the pieces I already owned, as it has wonderful shades of orange, red, teal, and chartreuse. It ties the whole room together. It's very high quality. Someone else mentioned that it stinks - mine has an odor if you get close enough to it (like literally laying on it) but I don't find it offensive. I think it's just what wool smells like! In conclusion, I never thought I could love a rug this much, but here we are. June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LuckyX Patience is a virtue It took me 6 months of flip flopping back and forth on whether or not this was the perfect 9'x12' area rug for my future home that I had been waiting months to close on. Thus, I had only ever been to my new home twice and had to rely on web photos to decide whether the Mandarin Agra Wool Rug was... "the one." Turns out, it was. Perfect eclectic/bohemian vibe for a 1900's Craftsman home. My overall rating is 5+ stars, and far exceeds my expectations. The ONE negative would be the pilling - after 4 vacuums the pilling is starting to slow... either way, go with it. You'll love it... because I love it... and my dogs love it, too. April 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by tangocats Excellent color that will match a wide spectrum of colors Classic pattern, well-made, thick and plush. The colors in the rug will match a wide spectrum of color, and I can't wait to start decorating my living room with the inspiration from the rug. March 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jender Fabulous Quality Rug I absolutely LOVE this product. It's thick, plush, and sturdy. You can feel it will last a lifetime. The colors are just as vibrant and eye-catching as I expected. I purchased this product (5x8) during the World Market's rug sale and got it at a steal. I would still buy the Mandarin Agra Rug at full price. It's well worth your money. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by carosera Gorgeous! I lusted after this rug from the moment I came across it on the website. I bought it sight unseen since it isn't available in stores, absolutely sure it would be perfect and it absolutely is. It feels nice underfoot--not rough. It has a slight wet-sheep smell, but that will dissipate with time. It's so gorgeous that I'll just light another scented candle. Nothing to get upset about at all! February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by goodjules Exceeded Expectations The rug arrived today and it is beautiful. i was worried that the colors might be too bright and look garish, but they don't. The colors are soft without looking faded. It was what I hoped it would be. The quality seems excellent. This is a huge relief because I was dreading the thought of having to repack the rug and pay to ship it back if I hadn't liked it. I am about to remodel my home so I won't actually be using the carpet for a few months. I'll try to remember to post pictures. Should I have any problems with the quality in the future I'll post an update. For now, I couldn't be more pleased. March 1, 2013

Length: 75 Minutes
The key risks that a Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO) traditionally manage are more interrelated today than ever before (i.e. liquidity, interest rate, capital/earnings). While credit and operational risk may not be directly managed by ALCO, their influence and impact on strategic discussions and the decision-making process must be clearly understood. Ignoring the integration of these risks and maintaining them in separate silos will negatively impact an institution's financial performance, put you at a competitive disadvantage and invite regulatory scrutiny.
The new reality for risk managers and ALCOs is integrated risk management - evaluating potential risks on a forward-looking holistic basis and developing tactical plans and strategies to turn those potential risks into opportunities and success.
In this interactive session, we will share insightful ideas on how to effectively incorporate Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) into the ALCO framework. We'll highlight the potential impediments and challenges that can undo your best laid plans and provide participants with a clear understanding of how to transform a compliance-oriented ERM process into a strategic tool of ALCO.
Who Should Attend: This class is designed for CEOs, CFOs, CROs, Enterprise Risk Managers and ALCO Members.
Topical Agenda:
Speaker: Michael R. Guglielmo, Managing Director, Darling Consulting Group
With over 25 years of experience in asset/liability management, Michael has provided technical and strategic consulting to a diverse group of financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad. Michael is an author and top rated speaker on a variety of balance sheet management topics.

Failure to check whether privileges were dropped successfully
This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 11/2/2008
If one changes security privileges, one should ensure that the change was successful.
- Authorization: If privileges are not dropped, neither are access rights of the user. Often these rights can be prevented from being dropped.
- Authentication: If privileges are not dropped, in some cases the system may record actions as the user which is being impersonated rather than the impersonator.
Exposure period
- Implementation: Properly check all return values.
- Language: C, C++, Java, or any language which can make system calls or has its own privilege system.
- Operating platforms: UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or any platform which has access control or authentication.
Required resources
A process with changed privileges.
Very High
Likelihood of exploit
In Microsoft operating environments that have access control, impersonation is used so that access checks can be performed on a client identity by a server with higher privileges. By impersonating the client, the server is restricted to client-level security - although in different threads it may have much higher privileges.
Code which relies on this for security must ensure that the impersonation succeeded - i.e., that a proper privilege demotion happened.
Risk Factors
In C/C++
bool DoSecureStuff(HANDLE hPipe){ { bool fDataWritten = false; ImpersonateNamedPipeClient(hPipe); HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(...); /../ RevertToSelf()/../ }
Since we did not check the return value of ImpersonateNamedPipeClient, we do not know if the call succeeded.
Related Attacks
Related Vulnerabilities
Related Controls
- Implementation: In Windows make sure that the process token has the SeImpersonatePrivilege(Microsoft Server 2003).
- Implementation: Always check all of your return values.

MTV.com: Lupe Fiasco Talks Fan Petition [Audio]Posted byJuly 28, 2010Filed under:15
Dunno Lupe, I feel you with all this, but man.. it's almost the end of the year that you have stated the the release would be, at this time.. I just really want to get the album by Xmas..Spent all year talking how dope the concert was and the songs you have mention you would have on the album and I'm getting smacked in the face with " Where's he at? " I will always stay a fan, but as a fan I'm being degraded by Haters.. You need to release and Shut all these haters up..."Notice no other Rapper can ever say anything negative towards you" We Wait and we hungry, love to get that food for thought.. (Don't use this)
yea, i need some real hip hop cuz dese niggaz now talkin bull and im sick of it. they disgracin the radio. i dnt even listen to da radio anymore. i just go on youtube and check 4 new music. and to the leakers, cut that sh*t out! the fck, i need lasers!
@702CITY That's exactly how I feel. Everyday I was checking the site to see if there is a release date. I got tired of it. I'm not even angry anymore, more like sad :(
We sick of all this dumb bullshit. So True. Damn it's been too long. I was truly hyped about the album when they said it was to be released in Dec. I've never been so excited about an album before..so when all this BS about holding back the album came out, I was crushed. Till a couple of months ago, I was still hoping for at least a damn release date but now all this hype about Lasers has been declining, well for me, but I still have love for Lupe and the songs. But best believe when Atlantic announce Laser's drop date, I'll be hyped once more.
Lupe I love when you're straight up about stuff like this - sometimes you're too nice, tell Atlantic what you really think of all the other shit comin out and fuckin release Lasers ;D

Really like my new red attache wallet. Replaced my 10 year old Bosca wallet.
Wanted to duplicate my 10 year old bosca wallet. Went to the Bosca website to find a retailer and decided to order it direct from Bosca - very convenient. Like the red color and quality. Only wish that the change purse had a "pinch" closure like my old one rather than a zipper closure which is more difficult for me to operate.
August 26, 2014
I just love this wallet!
It's neat and compact and has space for everything I need to carry in a wallet. I was afraid the amber color would be lighter than I wanted, but it's a shade darker so exceeds my expectations. I've had a couple of Bosca address books, and each one lasted a couple of decades. This was a pricey wallet for me, but it's worth every penny. Beautiful and feels good in the hand.
July 12, 2014
Love it!
Love the color, amber. For its size, It has sufficient slots for credit cards, and it has a place for money bills. The see through I D window is a nice feature though I must say, I struggled to get my drivers license out. It would be totally great if it had a removable I D window. With all that said, under no circumstances, am I returning it. I love it!

The Perfect Wallet
I never post reviews but felt compelled to because of how much I love this wallet. I was tired of my large checkbook wallet and wanted something more compact. I looked online for a long time before stumbling on this one. This holds everything I need and is of wonderful quality. I love the amber color and it is the perfect size. This is my first Bosca purchase and I am already loyal to the brand. I will be using this beautiful wallet for many years to come.

I love Bosca leather products and am very happy with the Attache
My last Bosca wallet was a French purse that I used daily for 19 years. This wallet is much more compact, the leather is lovely, and I will continue to buy Bosca.

Portugal Prints Creative Writing Group
In the autumn of 2010 Claire Ozkaya began to run a creative writing group at Portugal Prints (Westminster Minds Creative Arts Work project) Its initial aim was to enter a writing competition, which called for entries around the theme of hope. The group gained momentum, (spurred on by one of our members winning first prize!) and we carried on to produce this remarkable collection.

ZF-2140: Zend_Feed (RSS) Does Not Provide Access To <content:encoded>
Zend_Feed::RSS does not provide access to the data of each RSS feed item. This is the main item holding the XHTML content of each RSS item in a feed. From what i can tell, the code attempts to parse it, but either provides no mechanism to access it (i.e. $item->content()) or improperly parses it such that that block is always returned as "".
You should be able to do:
$item->content() and get the xhtml content of the tag. Without this ability, parsing most RSS feeds becomes essentially useless.
This isn't really a bug, more a usability issue.
$item->content() will always be empty because content is the namespace.
$item->encoded() returns the value of because the actual element is - basically the parser strips the namespace.
Altering this behaviour would be a bad idea since we should always have access to $item->encoded() to ensure consistency within the system.
This definitely needs documenting more clearly to ensure no confusion with this, or other namespaces.
However we should consider setting up an alias so that $item->content() will return to ensure consistency with feed creation (we set using $dataentry->content currently)
So not broken, and not very serious, but a serious contender for a feature enhancement to maximise consistency and minimise confusion.
Meh, shouldn't make such suggestions without offering up a patch I guess...
There is a workaround (actually the correct usage), so this seems like a should have- or maybe even a nice-to-have- to me. Perhaps we should log another issue for fixing the docs in 1.0.4 for this, and creating the alias (and updating the docs) for 1.5. Simone, what do you think? And will you be able to get to this in the next couple of days if you intend to fix it. If not, please unassign it since we are getting very close to the code freeze dates for 1.0.4 and 1.5 RC1.
Thanks. ,Wil
The patch is ready since the beginning of February but I haven't created consistent test cases yet. I will take the time to fix it until tomorrow. If not, I will unassign it and follow your suggestions. :)
Hi Wil, I just noticed the example in the English documentation is incomplete.
The code is missing the __call implementation.
public function __call($var, $unused)
switch ($var) {
case 'myUpdated':
// Translate myUpdated to myns:updated.
return parent::__call('myns:updated', $unused);
return parent::__call($var, $unused);
Additionally, I would change
$entry = new MyEntry();
$entry->myUpdated = '2005-04-19T15:30';
$entry = new MyEntry();
$entry->myUpdated = '2005-04-19T15:30';
// method style call is handled by __call function
// property style call is handled by __get function
Because English it not my mother language could you please give a check to the modification above and let me know if they are grammatically corrected?
fixed in r7933. I wait a feedback on my previous comment before closing the issue.
If you're talking about the comments in the PHP code, they all look good to me. The only minor comment is that I would write method-style and property-style instead of 'method style' and 'property style'.
definitely closed in r8008

check the carrier for a loose gas key. then check the rings on the bolt make sure there not bent or broke and properly staggered. check the fit of the bolt in the carrier--too tight or too lose are no-go.
i have been seeing a lot of faulty gas rings lately.
while testing the rifle make sure it is lubed up good.
a partially obstructed gas tube can also cause this problem as can a bent one.
you want to be sure the gas tube is straight and not clogged. you also want the gas port in the barrel clean.
i had a LMT 16" that had the same problem--it had a tiny speck of metal lodged in the gas port in the barrel.
last resort is pulling the front sight base off and drilling the gas port hole out one size larger. i only do this if i have tried ever other trick to get the rifle up and running.
one last little thing to check-- i have been seeing a few barrels that are a little tight on the chamber side. combine that with too much pressure on the extractor spring and sometimes a stiff 0-ring there can cause some weird cycling problems.
do you have any problems cycling rounds through the weapon by hand cycling the action? if it extracts rounds but takes too much effort. this can be the problem.
if it is real close to functioning with the wolf ammo --but runs fine on UMC or other USA made stuff. it might pay off to just carefully clean the rifle and lube it up. then run some hotter ammo out of it fire a few mags of the good stuff. then try the wolf again.

Only Human : Christian Reflections on the Journey Toward Wholeness
ISBN13:by David P. Gushee (Union University, Jackson, Tennessee)
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 4/1/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Other than the question of God, the question of human nature-who we are, why we are here, whey we behave as we do-is the most fundamental and perplexing of all. We are mystified at both the kindness and the horrors of human behavior and wonder where God is in both. In Only Human, David Gushee-ethicist, pastor, and award-winning Christian writer¾ uses a classic Christian framework to addresses questions about what it means to be a human being, our makeup and nature, what is right and what is wrong with us, and our origins and destiny. Drawing from contemporary and ancient discussions of human nature, Gushee offers a substantive and accessible exploration of eight essential questions:+ Is there such a thing as human nature, something all humans share?+ How do we understand what we are made of?+ Why do relationships matter so much to us?+ Is it true that human beings are intrinsically sinful?+ Are human beings truly free to chart their own paths and make meaningful choices?+ How do human beings become morally good people or morally evil?+ What does a morally great life look like?+ What should we hope for as our ultimate goal for life's journey?

JamesM. I apologize and feel a fool because I have no idea how to use the forums here! Do I need to join them to message or post in them? Can I log into forums with my current name? (I tried and seems like I am but not sure where to go after that to submit something? How do I make sure I am writing somewhere you will see? Is there an available email address possibly for kink.com? Again sorry I havent figured out on my own and am reaching out here but I am really excited about giving you some stories,ideas and scenarios I have yet to see... I think you might really appreciate them and it'd be awesome to be able to help with a kink.com production. Please tell me what I need to do. Until then I am going to keep trying.I have no problem with being emailed instead of being answered here if that's more convenient. My email is email@example.com. Again not trying to be a pain but never used forums anywhere! Thanks for any help or info you can provide.
|Aug 23, 2013
JamesM, well said,I understand and respect your reasoning and explanation!Please accept my apology,I could have stated better,therefore I apologize sincerely and wasn't aiming my message at just you.Please understand that many times I have had to deal with so many other members using my comments as a crutch in them stating theirs that I have become frustrated about this issue.No disrespect meant and again I apologize for not explaining better.In general I have been extremely happy over the many yrs I have been a kink.com customer to the many dif sites offered but at times when giving you(the makers of movies)opinions,ideas, or sadly at times criticism I feel that I have to fight for a voice,amongst so many who want to insult it.I realize this isnt the exact forum to voice opinions but let anger get best of me at times.Lastly, is there a way to offer ideas,scenarios,storylines, and other possibly helpful feedback to kink.com?If so how...
|Aug 23, 2013
When I choose to post a comment(which I do often)I do so because it's my opinion,my view,my vote! I thought that what was encouraged here...I don't make it a habit of commenting on others post but I didnt see megamusics post as a dis at all! Often when members post anything that others may see as negative (2 time already right here)we "catch shit" for stating what it is we think. I too miss Claire but that has no bearing on what I think of this vid,in my opinion this movie is just okay. Means that in my opinion it's not a standout in my eyes so why be dishonest and vote great and give kudos when I don't think so,I am surely not going to just to satisfy others who think diffferently.When I think a movie is great I sing praise from the rooftops so as such when I think a movie is mediocre am I not allowed to say I think a vid is sub-par. I personally joined "HT" to see beautiful women in great bondage, multiple gags n positions... so if I see the same old blowjob,dildo scenes, limited gags or rigging at a site named Hogtied shouldnt I be allowed to say so without being scrutinized by anyone with a diferent opinion. I don't think so...as such if I vote fair or below av. it's not a personal knock against Lyla whatsoever! Maybe kink should consider doing away with vote/comment page all together if this same old pattern keeps happening!(just one mans opinion) P.S. I fully expect to "catch shit" for my post today which goes to prove my point even more.
|Aug 17, 2013
Krissy is so fucking hot! Her appearance changes quite often and she always looks so good bound n gagged. Would love to have seen Claire strapon fuck the dogshit out of her, mind you no complaints tho! Claire you need a site all your own, dominating all these hot subs. I'd pay double or triple membership fees I have here and on 'WA"!
|Aug 16, 2013
I actually thought most of the vid was gross than erotic. I can't understand why the same old scenarios keep being repeated!So many unused stories or scenarios available.Time n time again we see the interview scenario, the initiation scenario,submissive left for domme scenario, n the list goes on!I am kicking myself that I waited 1 more week with high hopes something worthwhile would come along and show me 'WA" still could turn out quality vids that make me not feel like I am throwing money away wk after wk and then this crap.HORRIBLE! I for one didnt join bigpussyfisting.com, or samechicksdoingsameshit.com .Seriously think 'WA" has lost it's majic and never coming back.

One of best vids by far, Had everything I like seeing. believable forced submission. great bondage gags. sex, talk. great one
|Whipped Ass
|Aug 10, 2013
I said last week that the bondage n gags almost non existent, this week even less. I can't understand what's going on here anymore. I keep waiting for 1 movie that makes me want to stay but days are numbered. felt like this was a softcore version of bdsm honestly, especially when comparing to almost every other vid here at 'WA"
|Whipped Ass
|Aug 7, 2013
Wondering why some of these movies are so damn short? it's like a tease almost.
|Aug 4, 2013
Fucking WOW! and Blown f-ing away is the only thing that comes to mind! Been going back and forth between "WA" and "HT" for years and eventho I prefer lesbian bdsm/bondage overall I am loving everything I am seeing done here at Hogtied over last couple years!! I think the bondage is fuckin fantastic and shocked at how many fresh gorgeous models are here wk to wk too. Having Claires recent involvement here lately is definitel going to keep me here for awhile I'm sure. I wouldn't mind seeing a few strapon fuck scenes such as those reminiscent of 'HTs" Claire/Kylie Wilde and Claire/Felony shoots of the past. Please don't get me wrong, not asking "HT" to go all lesbi or become another "WA" but love the change up time to time. Fucking love you Claire Adams n KINK.COM!! Incredible job, Can't compliment "HT" enough and love the fantasy/roleplay shoots I've seen since rejoing. My vote..Two thumbs and a dick up!
|Aug 3, 2013
Think more like "Cherry Tom Gets Misdemeanored"!!! Of course Felony and Cherry are gorgeous,yes no debate there but Can't help thinking that both girls have had much better days. All of the things that I love about lesbian bdsm (and joined "WA" for) seems to be fading away with every passing week. Use of bondage and gags almost nonexistent in this one and I for one, am not digging the use of all the string/thread shit either! With all the drastic changes, either intended or not on "WA" these days, I for one am personally awaiting the day that the interviews are the next to go! If you ask me that time could be put to so much better use! Well back to waiting till next week....

First off Dani is absolutely gorgeous!So appreciate the roleplay. I think this is a much better effort than I have seen lately. My only real complaint if any was that the positions Dani were in made it a bit hard to really take in all of her beauty.More strict bondage is always appreciated so hope to see more of that in next weeks movie. Thank god for the suspended bondage scene, was my favorite. So so glad we got to see her gagged as well.Think all vids should have a one gag minimum.Great effort and result and hope things are back on track again! Thank you WA!

I have always believed that porn stars could actually act, I was proven wrong tonight.I have had hotter dialogue with my 100 yr old grammy! Sad to say that Simone shoulda been gagged 100% of time in this movie. I had trouble listening to her talk and the "you're sadisic" remark actually made me lol.I do however appreciate the roleplay aspect. I am voting below average this wk because it just seems like this vid was going through the motions. I for one miss the chemistry,originality and attention to bondage,among other things!I know Whippedass has it in them if anyone can rebound I know they will!and thats why I am sticking around.I just cant get over how crazy a direction WA seems to be going, when comparing the newer stuff with movies from even just a yr ago.Very dissapointed but still love WA
|Whipped Ass
|Jul 14, 2013
I find it odd that those of us who aren't pleased with this movie don't find it necessary to take jabs at those who dissagree with our opinion! I have thought exact same thing but am able to vote n leave feedback w/out involving other voters. If you go into a restaurant n get unsatisfactory food n service and not make the restaurant management know then too bad for you, and even worse for the restaurant. I hope Kink.com understand and appreciates even negative feedback.I have faith they do.

|Jul 12, 2013
What a letdown.Yet again we must rely on a paragraph to set up the movie for us, some thrown together jargon to explain the who,why n where. I may be speaking for myself but I liked when the paragraph told us a little bit about the models or interesting notes about the shoot like Whippedass did more often in vids of the past. If WAs "The kinky Journalist" began mid whipping or pussy licking (like this movie did) without that opening sequence it had I think it would have been an absolute dud! Same thing with "New Uniforms" If WA had decided not to have Harmony n Lorelei Lee answer the door to discover Calico I think same thing! Am I the only one who is ok with first few minutes of a movie being devoted to having actual dialogue that sets up what I am going to see??I cant help but think back to great movies that made Whippedass so damn good!! Those movies started out n bitchslapped me in the first few moments and never let me go til the very end. Whats been happening lately is kinda like what SNL goes through every few yrs, writing blocks maybe,not sure but I myself have come up with so many unused or untapped ideas,ideas I would glady offer up. or even better there was a way for all members to share any scenarios or ideas and hope that they could be used in anyway helpful. Please understand that I am not some meanie who only wants to talk shit, when the truth is I am not. I love and respect each person working hard to bring us this site and I wish it only the best.I just also happen to believe that like anything else,things sometime get stale or routine like, in a negative way and once that cycle is stopped only good things will come!I dread the idea of my beloved Whippedass suffering the same fate as Wiredpussy and the chance it could be transformed to Swattedbutts and everything I love about it changes!

I fastforwarded through 90% of this movie. There's movies in the past that make this look like a first time outting. I couldnt buy into the whole coordinances thing, way too campy. Still I wait, I know something good will happen. still not willing to give up hope.

A Spyder bumper light is an attachment to the bumper area of a car or truck that can be used to provide additional lighting. Sometimes, Spyder bumper lamps are used to light up areas that are rarely exposed to sufficient lighting in the dark. Other times, owners install Spyder bumper lights to emphasize a vehicle's good looks, and to make it look newer and more stylish. Though they are no substitutes for clean, good-looking Spyder headlights, solid Spyder bumper lamps can be great supplements to a car's entire lighting system.

We're super psyched to see the upcoming film The Butler, about the life of Eugene Allen, a butler who worked for eight presidents in the White House. And one big reason is to see Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan.
Hello, casting geniuses!
Anyway, we got a sneak peek of Fonda as Reagan from Oprah Winfrey's Twitter account, where she posted this photo of herself (she plays Allen's wife) with Fonda, director Lee Daniels and Alan Rickman as Ronnie. (Forest Whitaker plays Allen.) Tell us the resemblance is not striking.
"It really is a look into the life and times of this butler who was in the White House for eight presidents, and it's about looking at the historical happenings during that time, the civil rights movement, the Freedom Riders, the life of so many people who contributed to the possibility of me being able to sit in this chair today," Winfrey told Good Morning America.
The downer? The movie won't hit screens until next year. Is it too early to campaign for Fonda for Best Supporting Actress?
