Irene Rigau and visualizar
Send her to prison by all means, but make Aleix Vidal-Quadras, Luís Soravilla and other ignorant pedants visit her in penance.
I think Aleix Vidal-Quadras is saying (via) that Irene Rigau said, "Ministro, me tengo que marchar porque he de visualizar mi oposición a la ley", and that you can't use visualizar in that fashion - Luís Soravilla says the latter.
Rigau certainly belongs in prison for her refusal to carry out court orders illegalising Catalan immersion - contumacy is such a lovely word! - but her use of visualizar for "hacer visible" or "retratar" or "mostrar" in a general sense strikes my mental corpus as normal contemporary Spanish, whatever the equally incarcerable Royal Academy thinks. A couple of apposite examples:
- El País, 24/04/2004: "En Colombia, desde la década de los cincuenta, una parte importante de la producción literaria intenta mil argumentos, personajes, tramas y géneros, todo ello con el afán de visualizar su tragedia política, su enquistada violencia cotidiana."
- Público, 27/06/2011: "Tres presidentas ayudan al PP a visualizar su idea de igualdad. El partido exhibe a sus jefas de gobierno autonómicas como prueba de que el sistema de cuotas no es necesario para el acceso de la mujer a la política."
- Deia, 18/10/2012: Eusko Alkartasuna contraprogramará este mediodía un acto de apoyo de sus cargos públicos, presentes y pasados, al proyecto de EH Bildu. A solo tres días de las elecciones autonómicas, la formación que lidera Pello Urizar se ha apresurado a visualizar su respaldo a la candidatura de Laura Mintegi a lehendakari.
I wonder if this isn't a conservative, xenophobic register thing - that they think of visualizar as yet another anglocabrón invasion, imported by those notoriously miscegenating Latin Americans or unsoldby Leninists - but I have no evidence.

Well I hope they never use the word 'Líder' or any of its friends. I've never bought the argument that this word, with its faulty verb (leading, as it were, from the noun rather than t'other way about), came into Spanish from the Latin for 'lawyer'. It's so obviously an anglobastardisation. Lock 'em all up, except for Rigau.

After more than two weeks of not finding leads or clues to where Kayleah Wilson has gone, the FBI on Tuesday cut back the number of agents working the case in Greeley.
Kayleah, 12, disappeared March 28 after she left her south Greeley home to meet a friend for a birthday party. She never met up with the friend or made it to the party. The case has gained national attention, and tips - more than 300 - have been flowing in to the Greeley police and FBI hot lines.
Despite the FBI cutting back on the case, the family is still strong in its hopes for the missing girl.
"We're still in touch with the investigators," said Kayleah's mother, April Wilson. "We still have hope out there that she's alive and will be home, and we're still looking for anyone who wants to help."
FBI spokesman Dave Joly said Tuesday the FBI has closed the command post they'd set up two weeks ago with the Greeley police. "But we're keeping the post set up in case we need it. The command post is in the Greeley police station, which is also connected to the FBI hotline.
"We've cut back on the number of agents working the case," Joly said, "but they can be back up here immediately if something breaks."
He said they've found no evidence to support the rumors that Kayleah ran away or was abducted. The police and FBI have been fielding hundreds of theories and tips about the case since they offered a $10,000 reward for information that would lead to her return.
Among the tips that have not been proven:
» Kayleah ran off with someone she met on the Internet, or with a boyfriend. Investigators haven't found any evidence of that.
» That she was taken by a sexual predator in Greeley; again, no evidence, and police have contacted all the sexual predators and sexual offenders in the area.
» Psychic tips also have been received by the investigators and the media. One man who used a pendulum over a map said he traced Kayleah to Iowa, then to South Dakota, and finally said she is near Lake Preston near Brookings, S.D. Another psychic said Kayleah was neither abducted nor ran away "but something in between." Another psychic said the girl would return home on her own last weekend - a prediction that didn't come true.
Despite the cutbacks in the investigation, volunteer searches will not give up. Michelle Thompson of Greeley, who started a Facebook connection for Kayleah, also has organized more searches.
"We've started the Kayleah Wilson Recovery Center," Thompson said, "and we'll have weekend searches. We're not quitting."
This Saturday and Sunday, volunteer searchers can report to the Journey Christian Church, 23rd Avenue and 27th Street in Greeley, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
To participate on the search, the volunteers must be at least 18 years old and have a valid photo ID. No children or dogs will be allowed in the searches, but Thompson said they could use people on horseback or on all-terrain vehicles.
For more information, call Thompson at (970) 308-1678.
To help
Anyone with information about the missing girl is asked to call the Greeley police at (970) 350-9600 or the FBI at (800) CALL-FBI.

Tarbut's Lions roar toward CIF playoffs
Tarbut V'Torah is the only Orange County team in the CIF-Southern Section Division 7 rankings, thus making the Lions the county's best bet to get to the Division 7 championship game.
But if Tarbut does advance to the Division 7 final, the Lions will have to forfeit.
Most of the team is made up of juniors. The private Jewish community day school's juniors are leaving for a trip to Israel on May 30, two days before the Division 7 championship game is scheduled to be played.
Whatever happens to Tarbut in these playoffs, it will be part of a landmark season for the school's baseball program. The Lions had won just nine games over five years before last year's team went 11-4 and qualified for the playoffs, in which they lost to Twin Pines of Banning in the first round. This year's Lions are even better, with a 14-2 overall record and they occupy first place in the Express League with a 7-0 record.
Gabe Katz, a junior shortstop/pitcher, is batting .529 with 20 RBIs and is 6-2 on the mound. Freshman shortstop/pitcher Ryan Bayster is 6-0 and is batting .408 with 26 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. Sophomore utility Cayman Gordon is hitting .373 with 20 RBIs.
Tarbut second-year coach Brent Dohling said the creation of an offseason workout program has fostered improvement.
"Our guys are mentally and physically stronger than they've ever been," Dohling said.
CIF-SS playoff brackets, with seedings and first-round pairings, will be at ocvarsity.com early Monday afternoon. The CIF-SS office releases brackets at noon for divisions 2, 4 and 6, followed by brackets for divisions 1, 3, 5 and 7 at 12:30 p.m.
The playoffs begin May 15 with wild-card round games, games that will reduce the number of playoff teams to the 32 teams in each of the seven divisions' brackets. First-round games are May 17 in divisions 2, 4 and 6, and on May 18 in divisions 1, 3, 5 and 7. Second-round games for all divisions are May 22. Quarterfinals are May 25, semifinals are May 29 (with the Division 1 semifinals played as a doubleheader at Blair Field in Long Beach), and championship games are at Dodger Stadium on June 1 for divisions 1, 2 and 3, and at UC Riverside for divisions 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Going beyond the results of this week's top 10 poll, if a top 25 poll were taken this is how this voter would rank teams 11-25: 11. Mission Viejo (16-12); 12. Capistrano Valley (17-10-1); 13. Edison (10-12); 14. Huntington Beach (16-7); 15. JSerra (12-13); 16. Aliso Niguel (16-11); 17. Beckman (17-7); 18. Trabuco Hills (12-12); 19. El Modena (15-9); 20. San Clemente (14-12); 21. Dana Hills (11-16); 22. San Juan Hills (17-9); 23. Servite (15-10); 24. La Habra (17-10); 25. University (17-6).
Sunny Hills beat Troy twice last week to go 3-0 in the season series against Troy, the first time Sunny Hills has done that in six years. Sunny Hills has not made the playoffs since 2001.
Pacifica coach Mike Ciara got his 100th career victory at Pacifica last week when the Mariners beat Western.

Skip to comments.Farmers to be taxed on livestock flatulence (New Zealand's Global Warming Wackos Alert)
Posted on 06/22/2003 2:13:48 PM PDT by DannyTN
Farmers will be taxed on the flatulence of their livestock in an attempt to slow New Zealand's contribution to global warming.
The levy could cost a typical family farmer up to $300 a year. Larger corporate farmers could pay up to $10,000.
Sheep will be levied at nine cents each and cows at up to 72 cents under the Government's proposals.
The money will be used for research on emission reductions needed to meet New Zealand's commitment to lower greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto protocol.
The new Agriculture Emissions Research body will be funded by sheep, cattle, deer and goat farmers to the tune of $8.4 million a year, which has infuriated farming organisations.
"That's overkill." Meat New Zealand chairman Jeff Grant said. "This is a public good rather than an industry good. It should be funded by the Government not farmers."
Livestock accounts for about half of New Zealand's total greenhouse gas emissions.
The emissions are caused by the complex process of digesting grass and are belched into the air.
The levy was bad news at the worst possible time for farmers suffering from a high dollar, low commodity prices and drought conditions, Grant said.
The sector was already funding its own research through the Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium (PGGRC), he said.
Less than one year old, the PGGRC is an industry body comprised of representatives from Fonterra, AgResearch, Wrightson, DeerResearch and Meat New Zealand.
Together the participants are investing $800,000 per year on emission research. The Government has supported that group by matching its investment - taking its total funding to $1.6 million.
PGGRC chairman Mark Leslie said the levy was "a real kick in the teeth for the consortium."
The latest Government recommendations simply mirrored those that the PGGRC already had in place, he said.
"The Government is basically telling the industry consortium that 'it is too little to late' after giving us less than a year to prove ourselves," he said.
Throwing money at the issue wasn't necessarily going to speed things up, he said.
Time was needed to train skilled researchers and to understand how the digestion process worked. "This is PGGRC's strategy yet the Government has decided it knows best," he said.
Agriculture minister Jim Sutton is overseas but in a statement he argued the agriculture sector had been exempted from emission charges in the climate change policy but was expected to meet the costs of research.
The Government will introduce an emissions tax for other industries in 2007.
Federated Farmers president Tom Lambie said the levy disadvantaged New Zealand farmers struggling to compete in the world markets.
"As far as I'm aware we're the only country in the world to impose a levy like this," he said.
The Government needed to stop passing the buck to rural New Zealand for the Kyoto commitments it made on behalf of all New Zealanders, he said.
Farmers will have until July 31 to voice their concerns although the Government has stressed consultation will be about how the levy is paid not if it will be paid.
It has decided against a levy on the pig and poultry sectors as these represent less than one per cent of agricultural emissions.
NZ is very restrictive of legal immigration, and enforces against illegal immigration. Interesting place--a beautiful island smug in its isolation, but awfully close to North Korea.
I was thinking, if only we could capture it. All that hot air would solve the energy crisis.
Other moves afoot include legislation for lesbians to be legal fathers; legislation drafted to ensure Maori tribes take ownership of foreshores and ocean beds and the widely known disbanding or our airforce to fund the arts The arts includes the gay vote in New Zealand. The move to tax cow farts under the feel good Kyoto Protocol will assist in the aspect of agricultural economic deconstruction. In short, the country is being taken apart by Helen Clark's Labour Party.
,,, yes it is an interesting place, but close to North Korea? Maybe politically, but about the same distance as you are to Argentina. BTW, New Zealand isn't just one island.
Really every American livestock farmer and grain producer should be thanking George Bush right now for rejecting Kyoto.
I can picture some Rat compaigning on Bush's failure to uphold Kyoto only to have some conservative bring up New Zealand's livestock flatulence tax.
,,, I'd go along with that. Where I am, we've just had the driest summer since 1968.
|So, if the farmers allow their cows to actually take a dump, does that mean firing squad at dawn?
Any estimates yet on how much gas 40,000,000 buffalo emitted before Buffalo Bill Cody came and saved the planet?
This must be documented for a cow or sheep, you understand. Don't want anyone to be over or under charged.
Well actually that is a very good question. "Who did document how much greenhouse gas a cow produces? And did they have an agenda when they did?"
I shared that vision, and it was funny, until I realized that we probably have already paid some stupid liberal probably associated with PETA through a grant to measure this so that our beef could be taxed.
I think it means "Fire up the barbeque boys, before the revenuers get here."
,,, strange you should mention that. That's another issue. Kiwi farmers are being told to prepare to fence around streams for this very reason. Couple this to the fart tax and we've got something a bit more clever and quieter than Robert Mugabe driving people off their farms.
I don't understand. Kiwi farmers are being told to fence to prevent cows from dumping on their land? Is that a risk somehow to Kiwi's? Do Kiwi's fall to the ground and get contaminated by e-coli or something?
No, but it might be the sequel, "Silent but Deadly Spring"
Sounds like a great working title for the next Michael Moore film. Or a tag-line for This Week, with George Stuffinenvelopes...
BTW, as I continue to view your real estate pages for future purchases, I also watch the financial markets waiting for the best opportunities to buy. The NZD is up from .42/USD last summer to nearly .58/USD this summer. Are you able to export anything anymore? And then, this atrocity on your agricultural exporters!! Oh, my.
Does this fellow believe that government money is a separate entity from public money? Does he think that the government just prints the money to fund government programs with no cost to the citizens? Is this the reason that socialists keep getting elected in these countries? Can someone be that stupid?
I was thinking the Democratic National Convention, but I don't think bags would be sufficient.
Being a very non-scientific person, let me see how this mightv be accomplished.
Liberal PETA tester sneaks up behind the cow. Peta tester has an ample supply of un-inflated plastic bags and a large roll of duct tape.
Said tester surreptitiously tapes numbered plastic bag over cow's behind, almost diaper-like.
(Gawd, I need a picture of this...Registered, one of you talanted people?)
The next day PETA POOT TESTER returns, removes numbered bag and sends it to the PPTL (PETA POOT TESTER LAB) to determine exact ammount of gaseous content. There, the flatulance is seperated from the poop...
I can't go on with this!!! My mind is starting to get jelly-like!
It seems at the very least, they need a Department of Flatulence.
Make your check payable to "Department of Flatulence Revenue"
Either that or he could just pull their finger and then tax them for it.
NOTE: The following weak attempt at humor is inspired by the legislature in New Zealand who proposed introducing a tax on each head of livestock in order to come into compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.
Making his way across the yard to pet the farm dogs, he heads out towards the barn, he sees the sun just starting to break the horizon and pauses, standing alone in the pre-dawn quiet. For just a moment, he ponders his family ties to the land for the last few decades, his commitment to his loving family, and, without hesitation, heads off to the barn while smiling at the sunrise.
Just then, he sees a dust trail coming up the long road, wondering who would be coming to see him so early in the morning. Squinting a bit, still puzzled, he starts to make out the shape of a rent-a-car looking sedan. As the car pulls up in-front of him he can see the words Your loving federal government printed on the side of the door.
Gmorning guys says the farmer, to 2 people in black sunglasses, pressed suits and that funny thing stuck into their ears.
Farmer: Can I help you boys?
Kyoto collector: Sir, its 587 miles to Chicago, its dark, and were wearing sunglasses. Were on a mission from greenpea.. er um I mean your loving federal government.
Farmer: Huh?
Kyoto collector: Nevermind, sir.
Farmer: What seems to be the problem, boys
Kyoto collector: Its your cows, sir
Farmer: My cows? Well, Im dont mean to boast, but weve got a pretty good heard this year, we had some feed problems earlier in the summer, but we caught it early, and its a good thing we did because
(Interrupting) Kyoto collector: Give us your money
Farmer: Pardon me?
Kyoto collector: Your money, sir. give it to us.
(Tilting his hat back on his head, the farmer gives the boys his best Clint Eastwood squint)
Farmer: Now boys, I know youre just doing your job and all, but I can assure you that the wife and I have paid all our taxes in full, and oh, wait a second, are you hear to deliver my W Check?
Kyoto collector: Its not about that, sir.
Farmer: Whats it about then?
Kyoto collector: Your cows, they fart, give us your money.
(laughing) Farmer: Now boys, you know I dont have any control over that kinda thing. Hell, just last night the wife made this corn beef cabbage and, well, huh, huh let me tell ya, when the misty green haze comes, it just does! Besides, that kinda things only natural.
Kyoto collector: Its not about you, sir.
Farmer: Right, right, the cows, they fart, and you want my money.
Kyoto collector: Exactly, sir.
Farmer: What are you going to do with my money?
Kyoto collector: Give it to Fidel, sir.
Farmer: FIDEL?! What da hell?
Kyoto collector: You wouldnt understand, sir. Just give us your money, your caws, they fart.
Farmer: WELL TRY ME!
(looking down at paperwork) Kyoto collector: Well sir, it says here, that you gotta pay Cuba money because your cows fart. It says here, you have to buy "credits from developing countrys for permission to make greenhouse gas emissions.
Farmer: (Looks over his shoulder for the hidden camera, convinced Allen Funt is going to tell him that hes on candid camera)
Kyoto collector: Sir please, give us your money, your cows, they fart.
Farmer: Look boys, there must be some kind of misunderstanding here, this kinda thing has been going on for decades and
Kyoto collector: Its the planet, sir.
Farmer: Heh, heh, Which planet are you from boys?
Kyoto collector: This planet, sir.
Farmer: What about the planet?
Kyoto collector: It needs saving, sir.
Farmer: OK! (taking a deep breath) let me make sure I got this straight, boys. Molly and Bessy over there let one rip, I give you my money, you give my money to Fidel and that saves, what exactly?
Kyoto collector: The planet, sir.
Farmer: Planet Fidel???
Kyoto collector: The planet, sir.
Farmer: Now boys, the wifes family lives down in Florida, and they don't think to much of your Mr. Fidel, and I don't think they'd take to kindly to me sending this FIDEL person my money! Now Ive been in trouble with the in-laws before, and let me tell you its no treat and
(Interrupting again) Kyoto collector: Sir please, your cows, they fart, give us your money.
(Clearly frustrated) Farmer: Now boys, Im all for doin the right thing here, but I just dont understand how every time my cow farts, Fidel gets a dollar?!?
Kyoto collector: al gore said so, sir.
Farmer: al gore?!?! Get the rope! Er umm sorry boys, its just a reaction from our nations longest month. Hehe, ya know, that funny lookin feller almost stole the election! (muttering) good-for-nothing-suit stuffing-blow-hard-little-pansy he put the country through hell!
Kyoto collector: Please sir, your cows, they fart, give us your money.
Farmer: Ok now look here boys, I've gotta get to work, and I don't have time to pussy foot around here. I am not, I repeat not going to give you, or anyone else, my hard earned money just because Bessy and Molly "get a little loose". My money sure as hell aint goin to that scruffy lookin' FIDEL character neither. Now I dont care who sent ya, greenpeace this, or al gore that, but my money is MY MONEY, and you can just tell that funny lookin gore boy to just pound sand! You taking my money is not going to save any planet, with the possible exception of the one al gore is from, now good day! I said good day, boys.
,,, LOL! No worries, you didn't.
|Well, there are other more humane ways...
This was in response to thoughts I've heard expressed in this country (USA) that somehow government "creates" money to fund all these whims and as long as Uncle Sam is not actually back there pickpocketing us, the fruits of our labor are safe.

These are terrestrial animals found in shrubs, abandoned buildings, rock piles, fallen logs, trees, and, as the common name suggests, along fence lines. Locations with good protective cover are competed for (Tinkle and Ballinger, 1972). The lizards tend to use the same perch to sleep on over extended periods when weather conditions permit (Kennedy, 1958). They have well-defined home ranges; territoriality is another likely reason for the choice of nighttime perch location. Additional hypotheses related to nighttime predation as well as temperature variation have been proposed (Kennedy, 1958). During the day, like most exothermic lizards, S. undulatus is most often found thermoregulating in sunny spots (Angert et al., 2002; Angilletta, 2001)

Takk for et fint opphold, rent og fint, litt vanskelig og tungvint beliggenhet hvis du skal bruke mye subway.
Rent og fint, trivlig familie.
I was disappointed with this stay, first of all the rooms are totally different from what they are showing here online; the rooms are so old. And the host are living downstairs and they sometimes come upstairs to get food or something. One time, they come upstairs like 2am saying they are fixing the heater. So if you want privacy I would not recommend you to stay here. You might share the living room, kitchen, and the bathroom with somebody else. The nearest station is kind of far it takes about 10-15ish minutes. And they don't have laundry in the house so you have to go to the laundry, but it also takes you about 5minutes. And it takes about an hour to get to the Times Square area. So it is far away from Manhattan. Lastly, the. hosts asked us to pay extra money, because it was holidays season. If you wanna enjoy the stay in NewYorkCity, I would not recommend this house.
Everything was good, Yvette is really nice and helpful.
I would caution anyone they want to book with Yvette,
for a 4 night I could sleep that night, for alot of reasons:
garbage and old furniture in the entrance, the light on the stairs at night it does not work, it is very dangerous
living room, kitchen bathroom very old and very dirty
I was alone, she gave me a room with a bed loft bed covered with plastic under the sheets, the TV did not work, the dryer does not work, all very room.
the metro is far
I do not council housing to anyone, even if it's free,BE CARFUL
It is a very nice and cosy place! I can recommend it to everyone. Yvette was always very helpful and we spent really nice time there.
Yvette is so cool and kind. This cozy home is affordable to budget travelers. It's close to coin luandry and market. Using subway is pretty far from here but if you use bus it's kind a good place.
It is a good house to visiting new york
The place is nice, and Yvette was a really good host.
We had problem coming to the hotel the first day because we didn't know how to get around in NY by public transportation so we took a yellow cab which took us some time because this place was unfamiliar to the driver but also yellow cab drivers in general according to Yvette. So try to contact Yvette before you travel.
However, when we arrived at the apartment, Yvette greeted us, showed us around and told us everything we needed to know. Very helpful and polite. Great host. Yvette lives downstairs so it was easy to contact her. We were the only guests so we didn't have to share the apartment with anyone else.
The place is also very,very well located. 3 min walk to the bus station and 5-10 min walk to the Metro station. It's very easy to get around in NY by Metro.
There are lots of food stores and other stores nearby the apartment.
One important thing to have in mind that this apartment might not suit if you want to stay inside all day (which you shouldn't if you're on vacation) but it's perfect if you just want a place to stay in to use the bathroom and sleep for a reasonable price.
However, we enjoyed our stay and we would be more than happy to visit again.
A Friendly place to be in New York however, before you arive one 'd better send Yvette an email that your seriously coming on the appointed day because Yvette have had bad experience with no shows, so she might not be home when you arrive because she might think one is not showing up.

Unlike other chat roulette sites, SexChat.Me doesn't focus on just one way of chatting; we offer you many different ways to meet random people online. Whether you're looking for a quick way to have sex with strangers online or even if you're searching for new friends to chat with; you will find it here. We bring you the ability to rapidly meet thousands of people from all over the world. It doesn't matter where you're from; SexChat.Me makes it easy for you to find people who are nearby or extremely far away.

The ease of use at SexChat.Me is one of the upsides that our users love about us.
At SexChat.Me, we try to make our concept different. We don't want to be just like every other random cam site out there; we want to provide our users with a one-of-a-kind experience. By giving you tons of categories to choose from, we believe that we are capable to making your experience unique. Most sites like chatroulette have only one way of chatting; cam-to-cam with one person.
We are different because we take this cam-to-cam type of video chat and split it up into different categories. So you still get the random aspect of things, but you get a little more choice, such as being able to choose only to chat with guys, girls etc.
With tons of categories to choose from, you will be able to rapidly connect with people that interest you. You will still be shown random users, which makes the experience truly enjoyable. With more precision of choice, you will have a chat roulette type of environment, without the strangers being totally random. For instance, if you choose to video chat with couples, you will be shown tons of random couples on cam. You won't be able to control their age, their location or any other details about them, but you can be sure that you will only meet couples on cam.
Chat With Girls Only at SexChat.Me
So many video chat sites promise that you can chat with girls only; we are pretty much the only ones that follow through with that promise. We have numerous chat room areas that allow you to meet only girls on cam. We use our unique filtering system to flush out all of the guys and only connect you with girls on webcam. So the next time you want to meet chatroulette girls, you will definitely want to consider using SexChat.Me.
The girls online all want different things. You can use our chatroulette girl features to simply have a decent chat with the online girls or you can try and search for girls who are looking for some adult pleasures on cam. Although you never know exactly what you will find, SexChat.Me definitely makes it much easier to find what you're looking for.
Adult Chat Without Limitations
As like most of the other top rated video chat sites, we have tons of moderators online at all times. However, since this is an adult chat site, you won't have to worry about getting banned for getting naked on cam. If you want to take your clothes off and dance around in your panties, nobody will do a thing about it. Our moderators are simply there to ensure that our users remain legal at all times. Performing illegal actions on webcam will result in you getting banned.
The point is, this site focuses around having fun on cam. So if you're looking for some adult fun on webcam, you will definitely enjoy having a blast at SexChat.Me. We tolerate all sorts of nudity and all sorts of adult actions. Even if you're into the kinkiest things ever thought of; if it's legal, we won't mind. So get that sexy lingerie out, grab the bottle of lube and have some adult fun at SexChat.Me!
International Random Chat
Are you fed up with video chat sites that only have a dozen users online or that only allow people from certain locations? If you're looking for something different, you will love using SexChat.Me because it includes countries from all over the world. Whether you're from the US, Canada, Spain, Italy or even Russia, you will love being able to use this site. We are compatible with over 40 countries making it easy for people from all walks of life to join in on the fun.
With the ability to video chat with strangers from all over the world, you will easily be able to meet interesting people. This makes SexChat.Me a great place to go if you want to learn a new language. Learning a new language with a stranger on webcam is pretty much the best way to get started. Learning about different cultures is also a wonderful thing about our international video chat feature.
Easy to Use Video Chat Site
Keeping it easy is what SexChat.Me is all about. We don't want to complicate your lives and we don't want you wasting your time. That's why we made our video chat site as easy to use as humanly possible. With just a few mouse clicks, you can be on your way to meeting tons of new people online. Simply click on the next button in order to go from one webcam to the next. With all of the features just one mouse click away, you will never find yourself wondering how to use SexChat.Me.

Since the early 1980s, the term Zoo York has referred to New York City's underground artist and skateboarding scene. In 1993, a progressive group of creative minds put together a brand that would harness the energy of this underground movement while giving it commercial attention worldwide.
The founders of the legendary label know and understand Manhattan's skateboarding culture like the back of their hands. Dubbed the original East Coast skateboarding-inspired apparel, gear, and lifestyle company, Zoo York gathers its inspiration from New York's evolving punk, hip-hop, and graffiti scenes to produce exciting, culturally relevant collections. The edgy, gritty brand came from humble beginnings - it started out making simple T-shirts, and grew into a nationally recognized street wear apparel brand featuring military and urban styles designed to withstand the hard streets of New York City. Zoo York apparel is offered in men and women's styles, as well as alternative skateboarding gear, Zoo York shoes and accessories for the urban athlete.
With an undeniable East Coast flavor and attitude, the company has found the perfect niche along with an undeniably loyal fan base. Backed by a team of talented, young, hip designers, musicians, artists, skateboarders, surfers, and BMX superstars, Zoo York is still gaining amazing traction across the globe and across the universe.

Second chance to find out about children's charity's Kilimanjaro trip
Following the success of a launch event to promote its fundraising trip to Kilimanjaro, The Children's Centre is urging anyone who wants to go on the adventure challenge to sign up as soon as possible. The walk to the top of the top of the world's highest free standing mountain will take place in September. The first launch event was held at The British Hotel in Douglas on February 5 and it gave an opportunity for anyone interested in the trip to talk to organisers and meet some adventurers who went on the charity's 2010 trek to Kilimanjaro. Mark Eastham, Adventure Events Fundraising Co-ordinator at The Children's Centre, said that places on the trip were filling up fast. He added:
"A big thank you to everyone who came along to support the launch event. We realise that signing up to climb Kilimanjaro is a big decision and hope that the people who attended can now decide if this challenge is for them. For anyone who missed the first launch event there's a second chance to find out about this fantastic adventure challenge on February 21. I would urge anyone who wants to make sure of their place on this year's trip to sign up as soon as possible."
The February 21 event will be held at The Children's Centre's main offices on Woodbourne Road, Douglas, starting at 6pm. If you wish to attend either event please register in advance by emailing email@example.com, or calling 676076.
Mount Kilimanjaro stands 5,895metres above sea level in northern Tanzania near the border with Kenya and is the world's highest free standing mountain. The route will follow the Lemosho Trail route which is one of lesser trodden paths to the summit, but one that was taken by celebrities who climbed the mountain in aid of Comic Relief in 2009. The 12 day trip starts on September 19 with a flight to Nairobi, Kenya, and a transfer to Arusha across the border into Tanzania the following day. The next day the walking begins with a trek through the rain forest from Londorossi Gate to Mti Mkubw (Big Tree) Campsite at an altitude of 2,800metres. There's another 700metres of climbing the next day, and just 300metres the following day to allow the trekkers to acclimatise gradually to the thinner air. On day nine the trip culminates with The Children's Centre adventurers making an early start for the final push to the summit from Barafu Hut to Uhuru Peak – the highest point in Africa. After ascending just over 1,200metres in one day the reward for the effort will be worthwhile with the chance to watch a spectacular sunrise. The following day it's time to say goodbye to the summit, but the group will take with them some fantastic memories as they descend the mountain and head back to Arusha and on to Nairobi for the flight home.
The Kilimanjaro trek has been completed by people of all ages and all backgrounds and The Children's Centre will provide expert advice on how to prepare for the walk and how to raise funds. In previous years trekkers have used a range of ideas to raise funds including car boot sales and supermarket bag packing events. Some trekkers have even rented out their homes to TT Homestay visitors and used the income to cover the cost of the charity trek. The Kilimanjaro trek is being run in conjunction with specialist charity challenge organisers Global Adventure Challenges.

Digging to America (original 2006; edition 2006)
by Anne Tyler
Work details
Digging to America by Anne Tyler (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
'about insiders and outsiders, pride and prejudice, families and the impossibility of ever getting it right'
Bysally tarboxTOP 500 REVIEWERon 16 October 2012
Format: Paperback
I found this a very readable book: the account of the all-American Donaldsons and the Iranian Yazdans who each adopt a Korean baby. This causes them to remain friends, but there are tensions- both cultural and based on personality differences. As elegant Maryam Yazdan, the grandmother, observes ' Americans are all larger than life. You think that if you keep company with them you will be larger too, but then you see that they're making you shrink; they're expanding and edging you out. I could feel myself slipping away.'
There's moments of sadness and of humour during the girls' first years- I particularly liked Bitsy Donaldson's obsessive wish to stop baby Xiu-Mei's dependence on a soother. The grand plan, to send up all the soothers on helium balloons to the fairy and get a present in return fails miserably...
The weakness for me came in the ending, which seemed feeble.
But all in all an enjoyable novel with convincing characters.
Anne Tyler is a master at writing about the little day to day things that occupy our lives while subtly teaching us amazing things. In Digging to America she tells the story of two American families.
One is a family of European descent, made up of people one expects in suburbia. There's Bitsy and Brad Donaldson. Bitsy is a well intentioned woman, but one who likes to encourage others to do things her way. Brad is an easy going man who not only goes along with Bitsy's ideas but seems to enjoy them. Bitsy's dad is also an important part of this family. He's a widower who is lonely and looking for someone with whom to share the rest of his life.
The second American family is the Yazdans. These are people of Iranian descent who have settled in America. The politics in Iran drove them out of that country, but there is very little focus on that aspect of their culture. In this family there is Sami, a man who has been raised in America and his wife, Ziba, who grew up in Iran. Maryam is Sami's mother. She is a widow whose arranged marriage had some problems.
The two families meet at an airport where both the Donaldsons and the Yazdans are awaiting the arrival of daughters they have adopted from Korea. The two families become friends and learn from each other as their children grow.
This novel speaks to topics such as adoption and going on after losing a spouse. But it's main focus is on defining (or questioning) what is an American family.
I was glad I read this book now, since at the time I'm writing this we are in the process of picking candidates to run for President. The issue of how to treat Muslims is going to be huge in this election. This book gives us a picture of an average Muslim family. They have issues, like everyone else, and some of those issues concern a background with problems due to Iranian politics. But they are focused on raising their child and on their relationships with their friends, just like the rest of us. I think a book like this helps us remember that people are people and that using a religious belief as a rational to create databases that track people and limit their freedoms is a dangerous step and one that does not make the world a safer place.
Steve Lindahl – author of Motherless Soul and White Horse Regressions
I've really enjoyed Anne Tyler's books in the past, and this mines basically the same territory - family, fitting in, growing old. As always, there's not much plot, there are shifting perspectives and the writing is solid. But this time around it all just really bored me - I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters or what happened to them and was just glad to finish it.
The novel begins in 1997 with all of the members of the Donaldson's large extended family waiting at the Baltimore airport for the arrival of Brad and Bitsy's adopted Korean daughter. Also waiting are Sami and Ziba Yazdan and Sami's mother, Maryam, Iranian immigrants whose adopted Korean daughter is arriving on the same plane. From this chance encounter, the two families begin an unlikely friendship that looks like it will last the rest of their lives. As with a lot of Tyler's novels, family is a major theme, but this novel is unique in that she also introduces the theme of what it means to be an American and how it feels to be an outsider looking into that culture.
I really enjoyed this novel because it's different from most of the other books I've read. The characters aren't as off the wall quirky as they are in many of Tyler's novels, although they still have their flaws. I also really liked the insights into Iranian culture and immigrant culture.
This was my first Anne Tyler book and I enjoyed it. I chose it because it dealt with foreign adoptions, which I relate to. It was well written and believable. Recommend!
in "Digging to America," Tyler's characters face the future, not the past, so she doesn't let the freight of personal history freeze their forward motion, although it sometimes slows them down.
All these parties provide Tyler with the set pieces at which she so excels - although after the third or fourth farcical arrival ceremonies, the reader begins to tire of them as much as some of the family members. This also contributes to the sense in some of Tyler's more recent fiction that the parts, deliciously funny and sharply observed, are more satisfying than the whole.
There is so much truth here, as Tyler strips away the issue of ethnic difference to reach the heart of her complex and compelling matter.
Point of view is passed on from chapter to chapter in a subtle dance. This is beautifully done, but the effect of multiple viewpoints is to muffle the distinctiveness of the first.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307263940, Hardcover)In what is perhaps her richest and most deeply searching novel, Anne Tyler gives us a story about what it is to be an American, and about Maryam Yazdan, who after
Thirty-five years in this country must finally come to terms with her "outsiderness."
Two families, who would otherwise never have come together, meet by chance at the Baltimore airport—the Donaldsons, a very American couple, and the Yazdans, Maryam's fully assimilated son and his attractive Iranian American wife. Each couple is awaiting the arrival of an adopted infant daughter from Korea. After the babies from distant Asia are delivered, Bitsy Donaldson impulsively invites the Yazdans to celebrate with an "arrival party," an event that is repeated every year as the two families become more deeply intertwined.
Even independent-minded Maryam is drawn in. But only up to a point. When she finds herself being courted by one of the Donaldson clan, a good-hearted man of her vintage, recently widowed and still recovering from his wife's death, suddenly all the values she cherishes—her traditions, her privacy, her otherness—are threatened. Somehow this big American takes up so much space that the orderly boundaries of her life feel invaded.
A luminous novel brimming with subtle, funny, and tender observations that cast a penetrating light on the American way as seen from two perspectives, those who are born here and those who are still struggling to fit in.

I loved what I got to play of Saints Row 2 but the copy I had was so buggy I couldnt progress the story at all, it totally sucked. I hope Saints Row The Third doesn't have any bugs. They are fun games for sure.
Ogabugabuga 5 years ago#2
i second that,
but unfortunatly the way games are developed now a days, mostly to save money, their isn't a whole lot of need for bug checking,
sadly that's just how it is,
so if the company doesen't check for any errors, then you guessed it,
the game gets shipped with errors,
which a decade ago woulda been bad for the company, and good for the consumer, because the game would a been recalled, (if the game was a fast seller like some of todays games),
but now that they have patches to "crutch" on, they can just make a game, sell it,
and a few weeks later patch it, due to errors that coulda been fixed in the first place,
volition seems like a very good company, heck just look at the awesome-ness of SR2,
so i highly doubt the game will be filled with as much errors as some of the games i played, and owned more recently,
so lets just cross our fingers and hope that the game will be awesome and error free,
well for the most part anyways, :)
SuperSocrates 5 years ago#3
Sorry man, it's sucks that your copy was so buggy. I also hope they iron out all the bugs out of SR3; I'm getting rather tired of the patch approach instead of just releasing a completely working copy.
Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Stoopid_Fool (Topic Creator)5 years ago#4
I couldn't agree more, it totally sucks game company's can get away with releasing an unfinished game. I might try renting a copy of Saints Row 2 and hopefully it won't have bugs, from what I played of it, it was really fun.
DrunkBeardGuy 5 years ago#5
It's not that Volition released an unfinished game, it's more about how these problems can't be fixed.
Glitches and bugs happen, developers can't fix everything.
These problems are more common in open world games though, Fallout is a perfect example.
I just hope they can fix how your character goes in a stiff animation if you hit the wing of an airplane jumping out of it.
Usually he just stuffs little kids into tight bodysuits and makes them fight crime. shiro_amayagi on Batman and his companions
Wait what SR2 wasn't even that buggy at all not so much that it would mess with story progression what are you talking about?
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing
Stoopid_Fool (Topic Creator)5 years ago#7
@macdre13 I think some discs of SR2 were buggy and others weren't, like my friend had a copy that worked fine and then I had a real buggy one.

Does someone know if you need a patch when you get DLC "Ultor Exposed"
for the old but good Saints Row 2 ? and if so , how do you load it into
the PS3 ? Thanks your friend Vivalatour
digUbetterdead 5 years ago#10
the only glitch i experienced had to do with saved outfits.
when i would go down my list of outfits, depending on how complex the outfit i had just previewed was, if i loaded up another complex outfit after it, it would freeze my game. i learned to work around it by rearranging the order the outfits were saved though, so it wasnt such a big deal.. but it was very inconvenient before i figured a way around it.

I'm paraphrasing, obviously, but I recently encountered the Thoughts of a Prominent Thinker who's belief in the existence of god is based, somewhat backwardsly, on the sheer ridiculousness? improbability? unlikelihood? of god's existence. I can't for the life of me track down the specific memory attached to this idea, and google only gives me a bunch of websites arguing about how to prove god does or does not exist. Help me out, friends!
Seeking faith as an atheist.
I've been an atheist for most of my life. I've never been to a formal church service outside of a wedding or a funeral. Recently I've realized that I politically agree with the leftist interpretation of the teachings of Christ. I still don't believe in the supernatural aspects of the Christian faith. Would it be wrong for me to seek out a left leaning sect like Unitarians? I'm worried that this is, at the very least, intellectually dishonest to my own beliefs, and more likely, selfish for the church I'd pursue. I'm looking for guidance on how to proceed. I apologize if I've offended the faithful with a misunderstanding of their beliefs. Part of my desire for this is that of community and connection with fellow left leaning folks.
Alternative to God?
What if you don't believe in God anymore? What then? [more inside]
How can I forget / remove values that were taught to me when I grew?
My parents are conservative Christians and I were brought up with Christian values. As I grew older, I began to question my faith and after years of searching, I finally discovered that Christianity; like other religions are based on ideas and concepts that are mostly outdated. I am an atheist now and I am happy with that. But the thing is... I have an animosity towards Christianity; I feel that years of my life wasted in believing lies... years that I can not ever claim back. And worse... some of the values taught to me seem to stick like chewed up gum sticking on shoe. I don't know how to get rid of these Christian values I want out. [more inside]
Letting go of God: Help me deal with my atheism and the five stages of grief. I'm in the fourth stage now.
Please give advice on how to accept my atheism, let go of God and the need for one, how to get over the fourth stage of grief/letting go (depression), and how to find my passion for life again! [more inside]
Help this struggling atheist get over her desire to believe.
After years of drifting along as a "spiritual but not religious" believer I am beginning to come to terms with the fact that I'm not actually a believer at all. I am an atheist with a lingering but unwanted desire to believe and it is making me miserable. Can you help me move past this? [more inside]
My dad doesn't like my religion.
How do I get my father to understand me? [more inside]
Losing faith
Atheists, when did you lose your faith? [more inside]

Barnsley business builds on rapid responseComments Email
Barnsley-based machinery maker CTM has seen profits rise 10% in the past years. Its equipment blends polyurethane for use in the manufacture of a wide range of items, ranging from cricket balls to prosthetic limbs and items for use by the offshore industry.
Managing director Ruth Wootton said: "The applications for polyurethane are so diverse because, through the tweaking of chemistry, the self-same material can finish up soft and spongy or strong and hard like metal.
"Our machines are in operation in all sorts of industries including automotive, building construction, and health technology, and we're a world-class leader when it comes to equipment dedicated to the offshore market."
Orders for the equipment, together with maintenance and service contracts, have also meant CTM's staff numbers have increased – the firm has taken on two apprentices. And the firm is poised to expand further still by partnering with a major Italian manufacturer.
"We've grown the firm around providing maintenance, support services and parts for polyurethane equipment and we do a really good job, knowing that rapid response and good service is a priority," continued Wootton.
"We saw an opportunity to also develop our own bespoke machines, which has paid off. We're really proud of what what's been achieved so far and are excited about the future."

A couple of weeks ago, I took a look at the Offensive Depth Chart as it stood today before free agency for the Houston Texans. Now it's the turn of the all important Defensive Depth Chart.
It's not entirely new for most of the offseason attention of the Texans to center on the defense. After all, Houston has been a completely lopsided team in favor of the offense since Gary Kubiak took the reins in 2006.
This offseason, the attention by the team and the media has been at an all time high though and understandably. If Wade Phillips is successful in implementing even an average defense, the Texans are likely in the playoffs. Not successful, and there could be a completely new staff in 2013.
To his credit, Wade Phillips has been a writer's dream. Before the draft, he stepped in and made valuable decisions on defense before the end of the league year such as letting both starting safeties from 2011 go. He also gave lots of great quotes as to what the defense would look like.
Then the draft came and he assembled what looks like to me is the best defensive draft class in Texans history, although granted they haven't played a down in the NFL. Still, it was easy to see that Wade has been a positive influence on the defense to say the least.
Since the draft, Wade has made considerable waves with the announcement that Mario Williams will play outside linebacker. Then came the talk that the Texans will employ a 5-2 system at times. He is nothing if not entertaining.
What you need to know about the scheme is this; while there are certainly wrinkles and complexities in Wade's defense, it is all simply predicated around creating mismatches for the purpose of rushing the passer.
With that in mind, let's take a look at what Wade has on the roster in order to accomplish that goal of rushing quarterbacks. As always, if you have thoughts or questions feel free to leave them in the comments or let me know on twitter (@JakeBRB). Enjoy.

Costa Rican Black Bean Soup
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 30 mins
This sounds like a really good black bean soup...though I love most ALL black bean soup! I'll update once I've tried it. I'm posting this for ZWT 4. This is a recipe I got by Cinda Sanners from her "Soup Buffet" show.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup celery, finely diced
- 1 medium sweet onion, finely diced
- 1 medium red pepper, finely diced
- 1 cup fresh tomato, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups black beans, canned including liquid (4 - 15 oz. cans)
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 3⁄4 teaspoon celery salt
- 3⁄4 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon clove
- 1⁄2 teaspoon allspice
- salt
- sour cream, can add a spoonful on top (optional)
- In a large stock pot, sauté celery, onion, red pepper, tomatoes, garlic and ginger in oil over medium heat until vegetables are tender and onion is clear.
- Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
Most Helpful
This soup has tons of flavor. The flavor is even better when reheated the next day. Most black bean soups have the predominent cumin and coriander taste. This one has those flavors plus so many other as well.... and they all play nicely together. A cool dallop of light sour cream is a great garnish for serving. Thanx for posting!
This a really good soup. I halved the cayenne pepper, and it was still fairly spicy. I also subbed celery seed and 1/4 tsp of salt for the celery salt, since I didn't have any. I topped this with cilantro and squeezed lime and lemon over it at the table, and that definitely brightened up all the flavors. Served 4 as an entree. Here is my video of the soup being made: http://www.recipezaar.com/sitenews/post.php?pid=944&pn=1&pageref=Photo_Video-927138&vw_arrange_order=DESC&vw_sort_order=MOST_RECENT
Really great combo of flavors! I made a few adjustments in using a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, adding some chipotle pepper and cilantro soup base but the overall combo of seasonings in this reacipe give it a fresh light taste!

Gospel Doctrine: They Forsook All, and Followed Him
For today's scripture study, I examined Luke 5:1-17. In these verses, Christ ministers to a crowd, and then calls His disciples to follow Him. Although we examined the reactions of Peter, Andrew, James, and John two weeks ago, I noticed something different in their calling. In Matthew 4, we watch the disciples immediately spring into action. Without hesitation, they decided to serve and follow the Master. Today, as I studied, I see that not only were 'quick to observe', they were also complete in their following. "They forsook all," verse 11 tells us, "and followed him." If you follow the … Continue reading

El Submarino
Argentinian Hot Chocolate
When in Buenos Aires, KosherEye discovered a hot chocolate drink so deep in flavor, so rich in chocolate, so fragrant with vanilla that we have made it ours; we have enjoyed it over and over and over again! In Argentina it is called El Submarino -– we simply call it the best hot chocolate ever, period!
1 cup steaming hot whole milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces of a semi sweet chocolate bar
Heat the milk and sugar until very hot, but not boiling.
Pour into a mug.
Plunge the chocolate bar into the hot milk with a spoon. (Sink the submarine!)
Stir until the chocolate has melted and is incorporated into the hot milk.
And, if you mix it correctly – there will be melted chocolate sludge at the very bottom of the cup. We like this part the best and enjoy it to the very last drop.
