1. Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city, was once again overrun with protesters as 50,000 people took to the streets with a familiar cry: Taxes and prices are too high and the quality of public services is too low in a government rife with corruption.
2. From The Associated Press:
That was the repeated message Tuesday night in Sao Paulo, where upward of 50,000 people massed in front of the city's main cathedral. While mostly peaceful, the demonstration followed the rhythm of protests that drew 240,000 people across Brazil the previous night, with small bands of radicals splitting off to fight with police and break into stores.
Mass protests have been mushrooming across Brazil since demonstrations called last week by a group angry over the high cost of a woeful public transport system and a recent 10-cent hike in bus and subway fares in Sao Paulo, Rio and elsewhere.
The local governments in at least four cities have now agreed to reverse those hikes, and city and federal politicians have shown signs that the Sao Paulo fare could also be rolled back. It's not clear that will calm the country, though, because the protests have released a seething litany of discontent from Brazilians over life's struggles.
3. "Brazil has woken up a stronger country this morning" —Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff
Protests may be surprising for a country that will play host to worldwide mega-events, the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, but Rousseff, a former leftist guerilla herself, said she saw them as a positive for the country.
"My government is listening to the voices calling for change," she said. "The size of yesterday's marches is evidence of the strength of our democracy. It is good to see so many young people, and adults — the grandson, the father and the grandfather — together holding the Brazilian flag, singing our anthem, and fighting for a better country."
4. In response, 11 cities across the country have already lowered bus fares.
In Sao Paolo, the mayor changed course, saying he would rethink the 20-cent increase and meet with the protesters, according to Brazil's O Globo newspaper.
"If people make a decision to revoke the price increase, I'll do what they want me to do, because I'm the mayor of the city to do what the city wants me to do," he told the paper.
5. But despite public praise of the protesters by its president, Brazil will begin to deploy its National Public Security Force in five cities hosting the FIFA soccer tournament ahead of the World Cup.
The Brazilian Justice Ministry says troops will be tasked with mediating the conflict, rather than punishing people, but spates of violence, whether escalated by protesters or authorities, promise to make this a tall order.
6. "We just want what we paid in taxes back, through health care, education and transportation," attorney Agatha Rossi de Paula told AP. "We want the police to protect us, to help the people on the streets who have ended up with no job and no money."
The 34-year-old attorney attended the latest protest in Sao Paulo along with her mother and called Brazil's fiscal priorities "an embarrassment."
7. This video by director Carla Dauden, where she explains the real problems in Brazil, has caught fire online and already has more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.
- So about that wall: Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto says he told Donald Trump his country's not paying for it.
- Brazil's senate has voted to remove Dilma Rousseff as president over a months-long corruption scandal.

A Tallahassee man is gearing up to fight the city over a red light ticket. Todd Twilley received a red light ticket from the corner of Killearn Center Blvd and Capital Circle NE.
City spokesperson Michelle Bono says the city of Tallahassee is playing by the rules. "In order to make sure no one else has this question, we are going to clarify it in our rules, and they have done so." On July 6th, The Department of Transportation made a revision the the wording of the law at the request of the City.
But Twilley is calling it foul play. "You don't change the rules midstream and that's what the city of Tallahassee was successful with, it appears at getting the state to do."
Twilley says the yellow light changes to red in 3.3 seconds...and based on the posted speed limit, it should change in 4.3 seconds.
The City says the shorter time can apply in this situation because the light is at a turning lane... and the approaching speed should be less than the posted speed limit.
Twilley will head to court Wednesday to take on his case against the City of Tallahassee. He says, "I think that I've got a pretty good case. I think it's almost admission that...by the city that they weren't following the DOT's policies when they had to go to DOT and change the policies."
And Twilley has advice for anyone else who gets in a sticky situation with a red light ticket. He says, "I would urge people not to pay the $140 and let it go away. If the city has to put up with these fights against these red light cameras it's going to cost them more to fight them."

My mom had NO idea what she was in for...I destroyed thousands of dollars worth of things over our first few years together, but 14yrs later I know she doesn't regret a minute of our time together!

Remembering Joanna
All through the month of April we on the Horse Channel want to honour a dear friend who passed away last year. In February her beloved pony, Pixie Dust, also passed away to join her in the next life.
Please come and support Joanna (RIP) and her pony, Pixie Dust (RIP) 101958 on the Horse Channel for horse of the month. We would greatly appreciate your daily votes for her. And don't forget that you can blog on the HC without an account.
Perhaps some of you remember me mentioning Joanna last year when she died. She was a very special friend. She was bedridden for many years but didn't lose her happy spirit. She was on the HC for 3 years and blogged regularly, always having a kind word for those in trouble. Not once did any of us suspect that she wasn't well! At the age of 34 she passed away peacefully at home.
On my pages I have photos of Joanna in bed being visited by Pixie Dust. She had a wonderful relationship with her pony and made friends easily with all those who were blessed to have her in their lives.
Vote Pixie Dust daily in April! HC 101958
Thank you! And here's a vote for your page! And thanks so much for always voting for Tiny.

TGIF. Hope you had a great day.
My eye is much better. Money's nail still bleeds when he bumps it. Chi cousin Riley is doing good. So it looks like our week is ending much better than it began.
I tried to steal the toilet paper tonight. Mom had left it on the counter behind some cleaning stuff. Since it was blocked off from the front, the only way to get to it was from the side. Mom heard the toilet lid slam down so she had to investigate. Sure enough there I was standing on the toilet with my prize right in plain sight. Unfortunately she caught me before I could snag it. Darn that loud toilet lid for giving me away.

Goodness Gracious!! Let me start off by apologizing for my in-consistent blogging! Mommy has been busy, and when she has been online, she hasn't been on Dogchannel. Sheesh, Mommy!! Well I'm finally here now and HOPEFULLY I will be much more often than before!
How have things been with you? Things have been pretty normal here lately, except that the weather has been even crazier than before!! Okey so in January and February, the weather was normal, maybe a little on the warm side (though we did get some below zero temps!). Then in March, we started getting 85°F Temps! ((WOWW)) Now, suddenly we're in the low 30's and got SNOW (Yes, SNOW) yesterday!! This weekend is supposed to be much more normal though ~ In the high 40's to 50 on Sunday! Whew!
Well there is something else that happened today that isn't quite normal. January-February-March is GOOSE mating season, so they get all riled up with hormones and all that good stuff, and become very aggressive! And our problem is that we have TWO MALES and no females! (Toulouse geese, by the way). So things get pretty messy (literally) in late winter/early spring! Not fun! Geese are VERY aggressive and brutal when they fight! Ruby tries and tries to stop them (barking and running alongside the pen!) but to no avail! The family tries to stop them too but sometimes they get mixed up in the fight and get bites and bruises! Sheeeshies!! So anyWHO, this morning there was quite the issue. A family member went out to let the ducks (we also have those, two females) and geese, and there was quite a bit of noise coming from in there. (By the way, the ducks & geese live in the same pen/building).
We keep both of the geese separated at night when it's mating season, to prevent messy fights when we're in bed (So that's one goose with the two ducks and one goose by himself). Anyway the person went in to find out what was going on ~ AND BY GOLLY, a goose was attacking one of the poor little ducks! We've had a drake die from a goose attacking him (we're assuming that happened anyway, since we didn't witness it), so this is quite a problem.. especially since the geese are so much bigger! So after they got separated, the family has been trying to decide whether to do one, or both, of the geese in or to leave them be and see if they get over this phase quickly. Quite the issue!
Well I have to get going now since this blog is getting very long! I am leaving a vote-y for you! I hope that you and your furmily have a super duper day!
Lots of Love from Missi Mae (#126407)♥
Come visit me, Butler, Missi Mae, Ruby Rose
Thanks so much for praers for Dad. He had his anfiogram today,surgeon thinks valve needds replacing but not now. Talk to Dr in the morning.

Thank you ! I hope you had a good day! Mom's son came to see us this evening and he played with me but he thinks I am a little squirt! He looks at me and asks mom "what is it"? Too prissy and tiny to be a dog! He laughs but he thinks I am cute! I had fun! Not much else going on this evening so bark soon! Puppy kisses and have a good night!

"A Witch Shall Be Born" is one of the original novellas by Robert E. Howard about Conan the Cimmerian. It was written in only a few days in spring of 1934 and first published in Weird Tales in 1934. The story concerns a witch replacing her twin sister as queen of a city state, which brings her into conflict with Conan who had been the captain of the queen's guard. Themes of paranoia, and the duality of the twin sisters, are paramount in this story but it also includes elements of the conflict between barbarism and civilization that is common to the entire Conan series. The novella as a whole is considered an average example of the series but one scene stands out. Conan's crucifixion early in the story in the second chapter ("The Tree of Death") is considered one of the most memorable scenes in the entire series. A variation of this scene was included in the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"By the side of the caravan road a heavy cross had been planted, and on this grim tree a man hung, nailed there by iron spikes through his hands and feet. Naked but for a loin-cloth, the man was almost a giant in stature, and his muscles stood out in thick corded ridges on limbs and body, which the sun had long ago burned brown..."— Robert E. Howard, "A Witch Shall Be Born"
Queen Taramis of Khauran awakens one day to find an identical twin sister, Salome, staring her in the face. As an infant, Salome was deemed a witch due to a crescent birthmark on her chest. This birthmark was believed to be a sign of evil, so she was left in the desert to die. However, a magician from Khitai (China) found her, brought her up, and instructed her in the arts of sorcery.
Salome has conspired with Constantius, known as "the Falcon," the Kothic leader of a force of Shemitish mercenaries, to take over the city state. Queen Taramis is taken to the palace dungeon, with the implication of torture and rape. Salome assumes Taramis' identity as queen of Khauran and names Constantius her royal consort. The Khaurani army is disbanded and replaced by Constantius' Shemitish mercenaries, an event which turns violent when the captain of the queen's guard, Conan the Cimmerian, refuses to obey the order.
After putting his back to a wall and killing a number of Constantius' Shemites, Conan is finally captured and crucified for his defiance. Olgerd Vladislav, the Zaporoskan leader of a band of Zuagir desert raiders, rides by with a scouting party and happens by the crucified Conan a mile from the city walls. Vladislav does not entirely help Conan. He has the base of the cross cut, leaving it to fate and Conan's hardiness that he is not crushed by the heavy wood. Vladislav then refuses to give Conan any water, claiming the Cimmerian must wait until after a ten-mile trek to the outlaw camp to prove his worthiness to his band.
In Khauran, Salome's reign as "Taramis" has plunged the state into ruin. Citizens are killed, tortured or sold as slaves; heavy taxes are imposed and women are frequently debauched by the Shemites. Salome desecrates the temple of Ishtar in the center of the city and summons a demon, Thaug, to live within it. Khaurani citizens are routinely sacrificed to Thaug.
Conan has been expanding the numbers of the Zuagirs as Vladislav's lieutenant, while also secretly establishing communication with Khaurani knights who had become refugees. When he has sufficient forces he usurps Vladislav's leadership of the Zuagirs, but does not kill him out of gratitude for Vladislav having saved him from the cross. Conan fakes the construction of siege engines with palm trees and painted silk. Constantius is fooled by this as his scouts cannot get close enough to see them properly and Conan is known to be experienced in all manner of warfare. The mercenary army rides out of the city for an open-field battle with Constantius expecting only the lightly armed Zuagirs, but are taken by surprise by Khaurani heavy cavalry hidden amongst them. Conan's forces are victorious.
Meanwhile, Valerius, a former member of the Khaurani army, has discovered the secret of Salome's masquerade, and the fact that Salome is holding the real Taramis in the dungeon. With Conan's forces approaching Khauran, Valerius plans to rescue Taramis and reveal the conspiracy to the people or to escape with the true queen. Conan's victory is not certain to the Khauranis and they are nervous about his intentions if he does take Khauran. When it becomes apparent that Conan has defeated Constantius' Shemites, Salome decides to kill Taramis before Conan can take the city. She thwarts Valerius' rescue attempt and takes Taramis to the former temple of Ishtar to sacrifice her to Thaug. Valerius saves Taramis and kills Salome, but not before she unleashes Thaug. Conan, arrives with his Zuagir forces, who kill the demon with two flights of arrows.
Taramis offers to make Conan councillor as well as captain but he declines, nominating Valerius instead. Conan, as chief of the Zuagirs, mops up the remaining Shemites, capturing Constantius in the process, and leaves to raid the nearby Turanians. Before leaving Khauran, he crucifies Constantius by the stump of the crucifix from which he escaped, commenting with irony to the crucified Constantius the difference between their respective situations: "I hung there on a cross as you are hanging, and I lived, thanks to circumstances and a stamina peculiar to barbarians. But you civilized men are soft; your lives are not nailed to your spines as are ours. Your fortitude consists mainly in inflicting torment, not in enduring it. You will be dead before sundown. And so, Falcon, I leave you to the companionship of another bird of the desert."
A theme of paranoia runs through the story. Howard uses a theme common to his works in having evil hide behind innocent features. Similarly, Vladislav is unaware of Conan's plans until it is too late. Of all the characters, only Conan is aware of all the facts.[1] The twin sisters Taramis and Salome are an instance of Howard's interest in siblings and the theme of duality, which appeared in several other works.[1]
Howard may have been experimenting with style in this novella, leaving behind any standard pulp formula. Conan dominates the story but he is only actually present in two chapters.[1] The narrative instead builds the plot by following others, such as Valerius, Salome and a wandering savant Astreas.
Louinet suggests that Conan becomes figuratively immortal and superhuman following his crucifixion: "How can anybody kill a character—literarily or literally—who can survive such a scene as that one?"[1]
The supernatural elements of the story are minor and may only have been included to justify publication in Weird Tales.[2] The demon Thaug is similar to that in Howard's unfinished novel Almuric, which he had abandoned only a few months before starting this story.[1] The quick reveal and defeat of the demon may indicate that Howard was embarrassed by its inclusion.[2]
The ongoing theme of Barbarism vs. Civilization, which pervades the entire Conan series, is present in this story in two crucifixions. Conan is able to endure and survive his crucifixion, and the subsequent journey without water, thanks to his barbarian stamina. When Constantius is finally crucified, Conan states "You are more fit to inflict torture than endure it. ... You civilized men are soft; your lives are not nailed to your spines are as ours."[2]
This story was written in late May or early June 1934.[1] Farnsworth Wright, editor of Weird Tales, was running out of Conan stories which were growing in popularity and attracting new readers to the magazine.[1] Howard had recently finished the Conan novel The Hour of the Dragon, which was not intended for publication in Weird Tales and the story previous to that, "The People of the Black Circle" was already scheduled for August.[1] He finished "A Witch Shall Be Born" in only two drafts over a period of days in order to meet this deadline.[1] Wright accepted it without hesitation, telling Howard it was his best Conan story to date, and made it the cover story for the December issue.[1]
Howard scholar Patrice Louinet refers to this as a rather forgettable Conan story but one that contains the most memorable scene of the entire series: Conan's crucifixion at the hands of Constantius.[1] He goes on to say that, while of average quality, it "exudes Howard's confidence in his creation."[1]
Robert Weinberg concurs, mentioning the "best scene in the entire Conan series" but comments that the remainder of the story in only average.[2] Of the crucifixion, Weinberg writes, "Only Howard could have given the scene life."[2] He states that this scene, the "blood and passion", is an indicator of why Howard is better than any of his imitators. The violence is "graphic and elemental" while the torture "barbaric, primitive and real" not allowing the hero a chance to escape. Instead, Conan survives by sheer endurance, even killing an overeager vulture with his teeth. The passion in the text and strength of the prose suspends disbelief in Conan's survival on the cross.[2] However, Weinberg criticizes the fact that much of the action takes place offstage, for instance, being related to the reader through a letter from the otherwise unseen Astreas or through a priest communicating with Salome.[2]
Publication history[edit]
The story was first published in the December 1934 issue of Weird Tales.[3] The first reprint followed in 1949, when the story was published in the digest anthology Avon Fantasy Reader #10.[3] The novella was the cover story and main feature of both publications.
A version of the story that was edited and altered by L. Sprague de Camp appeared in the collection Conan the Barbarian (Gnome Press, 1954). This was reprinted several times, notably in the collection Conan the Freebooter (Lancer Books, 1968).[3] It was first published by itself in book form by Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc., titled A Witch Shall Be Born, in 1974, which did not use the de Damp version.[3][4]
The novella has more recently been published in the collections The Conan Chronicles Volume 1: The People of the Black Circle (Gollancz, 2000), The Bloody Crown of Conan (Del Rey, 2005). It was selected by John Clute as part of the Penguin Modern Classics collection Heroes in the Wind (Penguin Books, 2009). All versions used pure-Howard texts with de Camp's alterations excised.[3]
The story was adapted for comic books by Roy Thomas and John Buscema in Savage Sword of Conan #5 (1975). The crucifixion scene was adapted for the first Conan film, Conan the Barbarian (1982). The original script for the film, written by Oliver Stone, was based on this novella and another Conan story, "Black Colossus", and re-set in a post-apocalyptic future.[5] When John Milius took over directing the film, he had the script changed but retained the crucifixion scene, described by Kenneth Von Gunden as "Howard's quintessential Conan scene: the mighty Cimmerian, hanging on a cross, nails driven through his hands and feet, tearing out the throat of a vulture which comes to peck out his eyes."[5]
The name "Queen Taramis" was also used in the second Conan movie, Conan the Destroyer (1984), played by actress Sarah Douglas. The mark of Salome also appears in this film, with the character Jehnna, but it is not used in the same way.
The Czech death metal band Animal Hate released the album ...A Witch Shall Be Born in 2008 based on this story.

Adrenaline junkies will appreciate Ridewire, a new sport at Daytona Beach where you suspend yourself from cables while performing tricks on a board. In addition to being pretty fun, the ridewire system helps extreme athletes train for surfing, snowboarding, kiteboarding and wakeboarding.
Implications - With the Ridewire system, you can get your extreme sport fix in your own backyard. The set up sort of looks like a heavy duty swing set with a wakeboard taking the place of the traditional seat. Now you don't need to mission it down to the beach or skate park because all the fun is hanging at home. Anyone can easily use it, but supervision would probably be required for younger riders.

Moonlit Trail LbNA # 40870
|Placed Date
|Jun 13 2008
|Stokes State Forest, Branchville, NJ
|Found By
|Indigo Vulture
|Last Found
|Dec 4 2009
|Hike Distance
Moonlit Trail Letterbox.
(This hike takes place on Coursen Trail in Stokes State Forest. Coursen is a gently sloping trail along a hillside. The lower portion was once a glacial lake. It was beautiful in June with the blooming of Mountain Laurel. The Rhododendron in July should be equally pretty!)
Park at Stony Lake.*There is a fee to enter the park in the summer months.
After climbing the stairs at the trail map sign enter the woods to your left.
Hike the trail to the wooden Coursen Trail marker.
Stay on Coursen.
You will pass a plank bridge over a stream.
There will be a view of Stony Lake on your right.
The trail begins to take you gently uphill.
It levels off and you will glimpse the low lying glacial lake area on your left.
The trail continues gently down through an archway of young deciduous trees and a rocky path that curves down to a clear open view of the old beaver pond/glacial lake area on your left.
You should see a marker on a tree on the right just past this view of the old pond.
Continue to the next dry stream bed with a trail marker on a tree on your right.
(If you look ahead you will see another stream bed and young hemlock trees on your left)
Stand with your left shoulder under the trail marker.
Take a compass reading of 320 NW .This should take you down into the forest to a large boulder slightly in front of and between two trees. (This boulder had an old rotten tree strewn over it at the time.)
The Moonlit Trail Letterbox is at the base of the front of this boulder.
Return the way you came and enjoy Stony Lake recreation area.:)
*(This hike can be combined with the Scrappy microbox hike. This will eliminate paying to enter the park in the summer.
But consider a State Parks Pass. For 50 bucks it is well worth it and gets you in to any NJ State Park all summer long. )
Happy Boxing!
~Sera and Doobie

Shooting bolts of lightning from your fingertips, pointing at your friends and lifting them into the air with a thought, finishing your homework with a snap of your fingers—these are just a few things you'll totally not have the power to do.
Sadly, "real" magic is less about the impossible and more about the looking impossible. We call this illusion—that's where your power lies as a modern magician. You don't actually have the power to make the Taj Mahal disappear, but if your audience believes it has disappeared (à la David Copperfield's famous trick) isn't that just as good?
Being a magician makes you seem like a powerful person to the average Joe and Jane Mainstreet. People will look at you with breathless wonder and try to figure out how you did it—and most of them will be way off.
The mentalist magicians take it even further. Want to talk to your Aunt Ida who died a month before you were born? Certain "paranormal" magicians claim to use special powers to talk to those who have crossed over. Mentalists say they can read thoughts, talk to the dead, and even control minds.
There's actually another term frequently used for paranormal magicians: con artists. It's not that this type of work is inherently bad...just don't scam anyone out of their life savings for telling them what their cat Fluffy is "saying" from beyond the grave.

Just for the public record all sorts of things,
I do not own anything physical or assets or financial entities or instruments of possible market value over $66, and prefer to keep it that way. I do not expect any material inheritance, gifts and/or donations to come from some where.
It is mostly about what we are not, what we don't have and what we going to do. What we are, have and do; in the real life is just to lead us to be what we are not, assist us to have what we don't, and to support what we are going to do.
Initiating and expending the horizons of multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-national and multi-ethnic open dynamic relationships beyond borders and conventional authoritarian, autocratic, pltoctatic and other static taboos.
I am here to invite you to journey in life jointly in collaborative coherent togetherness. I don't exploit others and don't let others to exploit me.

Open source and core relationships (global multi-racial, international multi-national families co-relationships and intercountry relations) based on 21 century values of open democratic socio-economic natural foundations is a demand of the present and future time, which are to insure not only economic, but also societal, multi-national, multi-cultural and multi-religious cohesion and integration.
I am a kind of open-minded life explorer. Non-traditionalist now getting actuate by the idea of naturally creating a truly open global family. ( Multi-racial, multi- ethnic, multi-national, multi-cultural and intercountry multi-relational . Let's say, An open family formation of one biological father and many biological mothers and kids globally distributed. Preferably 11 kids, biologically united brothers and sisters. )
I am looking to establish intercountry natural, but not racial or ethnic traditional and/or formal open relationships with mature healthy women around the world, interested to have kids and are in position to do so.

I never stop learning and experiencing new things. Taking risk, facing challenges, taking initiatives and much more.
It is all about initiating - A new young world beyond borders.
It is all about creating more and more multi-racial, multi- ethnic, multi-national, multi-cultural, and multi-relational open global families.
Bringing up baby in the 21st Century Australia
Australia "Baby Bonus" policy, paying women an initial A$3,000 per new child.
21 century family matters
The non-traditional, one-parent, multi-parent, stepfamily or blended family kind of families trends are the fastest growing type of family in Australia, America, Europe, Russia and now China and the new young world.
The whole nature of the family as an institution is changing now, The 21 century relationships comes in all sorts and kinds of open partnerships freedoms, cohabitating couples and parenting forms are altering the old social order in the world's fastest rising young power.
A break with the past.
Social pressure to marry is much smaller these days, and the marriages themselves seem to be shakier than ever.
The outlook for single parent adoption is encouraging as it becomes more widely accepted.
I am for a New Open Young World With No Borders,
an young world with no family dictatorships, ownerships, social racism, ethnic nationalism and cultural conservatism, fundamentalisms and extremisms,.
I am looking and seeking to;
enter into open multi-national, multi-cultural or multi-ethnicity partnership(s) with Open-Minded women globally, ready to have cross-gneration naturally conceived kids as result of it. As well adapting as many kids as possible all around the world for global open educational programs.
I'm not a women's libber, but I do believe women should have the right to social, economical, cultural, political and ideological equality the same as men.
So, I am for initiating and developing an "open multi-family", one or many open relationships at many locations and making and adapting many kids. Preferably distributed on each continent.
All kinds of people and interesting parties are welcome to participate in the global project.
Like a scorpio man,
I am open venture adventure optimist-enthusiast, and
I choose to soar to the highest heights for a living unknown by the vast majority of others.
I seek to live more free, more healthy, happy, independent and lucky. Not to be a kept domesticated, isolated, ruled, humbled and dulled.
Ok girl(s), guess what …..
I want to Invite to take the calculated risk;
to dream and to build, to fall and to succeed in life.
I am here to invite you to journey in life jointly in collaborative coherent togetherness.
I am a dreamer, and I go for it usually big.
I am dreaming of global travelling, making money and living globally at it best places in time.
Being at the right place at the right time: Discovering, exploring, endeavouring and having fun as it comes.
Prospecting for natural gold, diamonds, rocks, gemstones, arts and everything of natural and cultural value. Making and broadcasting real time reality shows online, creating social videos reality networks and much more ….
I am utopian, and I want to have many relationships and many kids, some my some not, globally distributed and locally connected. So, I go for global relationships open democracy, independence and freedom.
Throughout my life, my mates, "friends" and foes have offered me advice, And though they meant the best for me, it often wasn't good for me.
They'd always say my plans were just too.... big, unusual and crazy, and every time I listened, well…I let them steal my dreams.
I guess they feared – in case I failed – I really shouldn't try.
And so I never spread my wings globally and never learned to fly globally free.
But they're just folks who only see the world the way it seems,
and I'm no longer going to let those people steal my dreams
A global multi-relationships model very much as:
Open global social family of partners, friends and associates without borders boundary and ownership.
I am temperamental and hot-bladed, but
not by any meaning sexual athlete, and my thing is not big.
I am attracted by the youngness and beauty of the opposite sex, but I don't go for artificial love, porn, extremes and sexual competitions.
I am multi-lover, and
I love to be in love with many women mostly of the time.
I am extravagance oriented man, and
experimental within the natural and ethical formatives.
I like to be nobody and contented with.
I am for sure not reach and not shame of it.
I own nothing and prefer to keep it that way.
I guest that the chimpanzee exists in my genes and genomes;
with some modifications and a few added human features,
motion priorities: breath, move, sleep, rest
sensory priorities: see, touch, feel, hear, test, smell
survival priorities: learn, adapt, procreate, expend
procreational priorities: physical, intellectual, spiritual
Ok, by nature I am mostly,
dynamic, to some degree restless, love to travel
not territorial,
pack oriented,
not aggressive,
temperamental, with tendency to anger,
mostly stubborn,
mostly not persisting, (monkey mind )
creative by nature
talkative person, not a very good listener
Innate Tendencies
The chimpanzee exists in my mind; with some modifications and a few added features,
tendency to respect the integrity of the other, to cooperate and share
tendency to recognise some common humanity in the other
tendency toward tolerance and peaceful coexistence
to form cooperative social units with mostly altruistic features
I value a sense of humour and sense in other people
I don't like to be sad and bored.
I love to meet new people and love to travel.
I like observing, thinking, dreaming and analysing
It is an open project, and other people, partners and orgs are welcome to join it.
It looks like complicated, but the ideas behind are very simple.
If more and more people in the planet have kids as result of multi national and/or multi ethnic relationship. There will be less and less, wars, hatters, exploitation's and other problems base on blood superiority, nationalism, racism and other discriminations of this kind.
(The things are simple, when more and more people from different nations make babies, trade and make other socio-economic humanitarian agreements, they do not kill each other, they don't make wars and conflicts)
The kids and the parents have more opportunities and freedoms to travel, study, live and work on them preference. So, they can be a multiple citizen of two or more nations. Very mush at it is in Europe in the European Union and in the upcoming Eurasia Union, or to some degree in US (but only inside the United States of America).
That is what I am very good at.
Drinkable water
Nutritious food
Constant motion
Sleep and rest
Liveable energies
I love to understand nature, people and things.
I mostly know that I don't know anything for sure, and
I am mostly utopian kind of man that believe in a good deeds, and
I am mostly conditioned to go for freedoms from all sorts of things, and
I am mostly open to constant learning and knowing, and
I am mostly oriented for open, simple partnerships within the natural-freedoms, and
I mostly like to apply an open democratic approach to anything and everything, and
I mostly hate any dictatorships, totalitarianisms, extremisms and fundamentalisms of any kinds.
So, to have, to raise, and to educate Kids, are the key words here and the necessary conditions for contacting me.

Dr. Lowen is a wonderful doctor who takes pride in his work. He was straight forward and seemed very genuine. I did not care about how "nice" my doctor should be, but about my possible results. Dr. Lowen was the best choice I could have made. I am already recommending him.

Dr. Lowen is one of the TOP doctors you can go to!! He is a very talented and gifted surgeon, who comes out with such smart ways to give you the best surgery possible. I adored him right from the start, as well as his darling and caring staff. Shalena and Melanie have been so great to me every time they see me. They always make sure you know when your appt.'s are, answer all questions, etc. I just can't say enough about Dr. Lowen, and his team. I will be a patient for as long as I need or want procedures done. I am beyond thrilled that I found him, he is a dream come true.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
39 Years Old, 2 Kids & Fabulous New Boobs! Mountain View, CA
Dr Lowen is professional, courteous and warm. He takes the time to explain pre-op & post-op procedures in detail. He outlined the risks and any possible complications and gave me a realistic expectation of my results. He truly cares about the work he does and ensuring that his patients are satisfied with their experience and results.
5 out of 5 stars Cellulaze
All I Can Say is
I've been going to Dr Lowen for several years for botox, etc., but had never undergone a major procedure. When Dr Lowen started offering Cellulaze in early April, I signed up immediately. He is extremely focused during procedures and doesn't hesitate to take the extra time to make things as perfect as they can be. It truly seems to be an art for him. I appreciate his skill and would definitely go to him for other procedures. The office staff (Kimberly and Tiffany) are warm, friendly, and make the overall experience great.
5 out of 5 stars Drainless Tummy Tuck
TT with Muscle Repair and Lipo to flanks and bra rolls - Mountain View, CA

Dr. Lowen is a master at his craft. He is extremely professional, seasoned, and skilled in his profession. He is a perfectionist and diligent in achieving the best results for his patients. He is no-nonsense, direct, and honest in his assessments of the results you can expect from him. His delivery and execution of the procedures totally align with the expectations he sets. I will only use Dr. Lowen for my plastic surgery procedures. I would also recommend his work to all my family and friends.

The original name for Placerville California. Established in 1849 as a tent city for gold miners eager to find their fortune in the abundent placer deposits existing in the area at that time. There was a large California Black Oak in the center of town that served as a convenient location for lynchings when a quorum of miners decided that a person had committed a capital crime. The tree stump is presently underneath the floor boards of the Hangman's Tree Bar, which is notable for the frontier looking manequin hung by a noose above the establishment's sign.
After establishing a County Sheriff and incorporating as a town, it was renamed Placervile.

Hangtown is the most beautiful place on earth. Hidden in northern california it is a historiical town with hard working men and beatiful women. It is a small prodominately christian town with beautiful forrest and charm. halfway between South Lake Tahoe and San Francisco, a scenic drive to sacramento or Reno. Hangtown is a much needed bright red spot on the unfortunately mainly blue california portion of the map. Hangtown is the last remaining piece of the california portion of the old west. Cracker friendly. if you would like to move there please don't. they prefer originals but welcome tourists..then the tourists have to leave.
there are no examples you just gotta see it...then leave hangtown

The versatile Pugh, unable to feature in the weekend defeat at parent club Leeds, could return to the side with Olofinjana still nursing a knee problem.
Another on-loan midfield player, Bolton's Stuart Holden, may be rested as he eases his way back into full match fitness following long-term knee problems of his own.
Striker Steve Howard, on loan from Hartlepool, could return to the starting line-up after making his fourth appearance for the Owls off the substitutes' bench at Leeds, but Gary Madine is definitely out again.
Winger Jermaine Johnson is expected to shake off a slight knee injury and defender Reda Johnson is hoping to continue as he manages an ongoing foot problem.
The Owls, four points above the relegation zone, slipped to their first defeat in five matches at the weekend.

The "Power" in Powerhouse Theater this year stands for name power.
Steve Martin and Edie Brickell — they of the concert taking place Sunday at UPAC (see page 9) — are bringing their new project to Vassar College and New York Stage and Film's summer showcase. Musical readings of "Bright Star" will take place starting July 12.
As it's a musical reading, "Bright Star" will not be near its final state. It's much more of a workshop, a chance for Martin and Brickell to see and hear the work unfold.
"It's incredibly exciting," said Martin. "It's one of the best directors on Broadway, Walter Bobbie, who did 'Chicago.' We're just really excited."
Bobbie directed the 1996 revival of "Chicago," which starred Bebe Neuwirth and won him the Tony for Best Direction of a Musical. He also directed Broadway versions of "Footloose," "Sweet Charity" and "High Fidelity."
"Bright Star" is about a young man who returns from the World War II and uncovers secrets about his past. Set in 1940s North Carolina, it features plenty of Appalachian-style music, including songs from Martin and Brickell's "Love Has Come for You."
"It's got 27 songs, or maybe 25 ... it's getting fewer," Martin said, somewhat joking but keeping in step with the project's shifting body.
"Bright Star" is coupled this season with a new musical inspired by the Brooklyn Hero Supply Co. In this musical reading, a young Brooklynite aspires to become a superhero. Michael Mayer ("American Idiot," "Spring Awakening") directs.
Mainstage offerings — fully staged and designed, yet still works-in-progress — are "Downtown Race Riot" by Seth Zvi Rosenfeld, chronicling a young man's decision in a gang-filled Washington Square Park riot, and "When the Lights Went Out" by Mozhan Marno, stories of love and loss during the major Northeast blackout of 2003.
Semistaged workshops are "Found" — about discarded letters, notes, photographs and more — and "Mother of Invention" — about secrets of a mother uncovered in the final moments of her life.

I came across this blog today, and I thought some of the articles here could be helpful to moms with questions about your LOs speech and language. I see a lot of posts with questions about our babies using words--either moms who are concerned about the lack of "real" words, or moms who might be boasting a larger vocabulary (or earlier development) than might be considered by a language specialist. This author has many posts in what I think are both comprehensive and layman's terms at the same time, so I thought I'd share =) The bottom line continues to be that there is a HUGE range of what is normal at this age, but this might give some guidance for those looking for it.
Some normative stuff:
Helping language grow:
Using toys to promote speech/language
Hope that's helpful!

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Time to go back to your childhood.
What was your favorite game in elementary school? Tag? Well, a lot of you probably said kickball.
It's not just for kids anymore.
"I never once thought I'd play kickball over the age of 20," said Beth Bargeron.
"Not since, well, maybe if you asked me in elementary school maybe?" said Mike Gulino. "It's just a blast."
A blast indeed. Kickball for adults. Really? Can it get any better?
"What was funny was the minute I would talk to people, they got so excited, they got that child like excitement in their eyes and here we are now," added Keith Edmondson.
Through the Augusta Sports League, kickball and other non-traditional sports have been growing quickly. Around 150 people playing kickball alone. When you can have cool shirts and great team names, you can't beat that.
"I mean it's all about socializing" said Eric Hardiman "Kickball, I really enjoy the sport but generally most of these things you're just getting the community involved and having a lot of fun."
While the smiles are endless, don't let it fool you, games are very competitive.
"Last summer, a guy dislocated his shoulder out in the outfield," added Bargeron.
"Another girl in the last tournament in the winter broke her nose from someone running into and hitting her, I mean there's a lot of competitive spirit," added Hardiman.
That's the exception, certainly not the norm as kick ball has become a kick in the pants.
"One of our friends said hey, there's actually a league where they actually have a legit kickball and stuff," said Gulino, who gets a kiss from his dad. "That's my dad, he also plays kickball on our team along with my brother and my sister so it's kind of a family thing."
The Augusta Sports League has a variety of leagues that run all year long.

Over and out
Posted by Larry Stone
A couple of final thoughts from today, and then Im going to sign off. My 8-year-old son, Jordan, is here with me in Peoria to watch some baseball, along with my brother-in-law, Robert. They have plans for tonight that don't include blogging.
--Jim Riggleman, who managed the Peoria game for the Mariners, called it a "typical Arizona game -- light air, hard ground. It's hard for pitchers to even get their work in." The Mariners gave up -- yikes -- 25 hits in a 17-3 loss to Milwaukee. Carlos Silva, as already discussed, got lit up, but so did Sean White and Jon Huber.
--But, on the other hand, the Mariners nearly pitched a shutout in Surprise, about five miles up the road. Same Arizona, same air, same ground, last time I checked. The Mariners took a 5-0 shutout into the ninth before Erik O'Flaherty gave up a couple of runs. The M's won 5-2 over the Rangers. The pitching stars were Cha Seung Baek (four shutout innings, one hit) and R.A. Dickey (three shutout innings, three hits). It looks more and more like Dickey, a Rule 5 guy, is going to make this team. And Baek, with a 0.82 ERA, is making a pretty good case for himself.
--I'm a big proponent of overlooking Arizona performances, but, man, Ichiro really looked bad today. He struck out three times, grounded out and popped out. Now he's hitting .105. Put him down for .332 this year -- but it would be nice if he started hitting with authority.
--That said, the Mariners could be excused for dragging. They've been going non-step since mid-February, which is why the entire team is welcoming Tuesday's day off - their only scheduled off day of the spring.
"I think you will see a little more energized ballclub as opposed to what saw today on Wednesday when we come back,'' Riggleman said.
--Thanks for your limericks. I'll try to come up with a couple more.
--I've been impressed with Matt Tuiasosopo, who had a couple of solid hits. He's still raw, but he just looks like a ballplayer. I see a bright future for him.
--I still enjoy hearing the name "Tony Gwynn" announced over the P.A. It's Gwynn Jr., and he looks like he has a pretty good stick, too.
--Speaking of offspring, the Brewers put a guy named Michael Brantley into left field late in the g ame, and he had one of their 25 hits. He's the son of former Mariners outfielder Mickey Brantley.
--Good news on reliever Brandon Morrow. He threw in the pen and felt great. MOrrow has been bothered by a sore arm, but the Mariners don't think it's serioius.
Adios, for now. The family beckons.

Cairo is picking up some of the cheapest basehits lately, but I fear that Mac is looking for anything to rationalize keeping his little veteran on the team. Anything to hold down youth and talent!

There is a pitcher named Bedard
Who better not get hit hard
If his left-handed curve
Is little more than a serve
The Mariners will fall on their petard

There once was a team from Seattle
Who we all loved to see in battle
Until they got old
And started to fold
I hope they don't start again all rattled.

With Baek pitching good today to you think the M's would entertain keeping him and sending Morrow to work in AAA on becoming a starter, especially with the Angles looking for starting pitching to get them through the early season?

Seattle should ship a couple of their RP's to Boston for Jed Lowrie, the BoSox SS/2B prospect. Jed would be an ideal fit at 2B for Seattle. Lopez isn't going to get it done.
