Dressing up a man like a woman is loads of fun by and in itself. You can take it further by turning him into a pretty little sissy girl with a cute sissy dress - an act we appropriately call sissification. If you like the more extreme crossdressing games, then you can try forcing him into a sissy outfit with a game known as forced feminization. This is when things tend to get naughty if then weren't already by now.
A little while a go, luvthefeel pointed me to the sissystore where they sell some lovely outfits some of which are suited for forced feminization. Many of their sissy outfits are lockable. What? A lockable dress; how does that work? Well, considering how hard it can be to undo a dress, making it impossible isn't a big step really. But the idea is still great and I have to ask myself why I didn't think of it. These lockable dresses have two metal rings at the back of their collar so all you need is a padlock and with a snap, he's trapped in frills!
Now technically, locking him into a sissy dress isn't really bondage since a locked up sissy boy can still move quite freely (though some dresses might teach you otherwise). But this is more a bondage of the person rather than of the body. In a way this is far more intimate than the classic ropes and chains because you have trapped his very character, his personality by forcing him into the sissy dress and locking him up. Oh, he's still physically free to move about, but his personality is trapped in a frame of frills and lace. Under these circumstances, our locked up sissy probably won't want to move about freely. Keeping a man locked in a sissy dress is the same as keeping him locked indoors. An emotional chain and leash to keep him from escaping - that's something that has appealed to me for a long time anyway.
So not only are you subjecting him to forced feminization, you're also trapping his essence and altering his behavior and character. Even a man who doesn't like crossdressing will be pretty shaken and humbled if he was locked in a sissy outfit like this. I have to say, I do fantasize about taking a young man who's not a crossdresser and putting him through forced feminization and then locking him into a sissy dress. No, I don't advocate really doing this as it would constitute abuse but the fantasy does pop up once in a while. God I'm weird.
What I like most about this is how the slow and gradual process of forced feminization comes to a sudden irreversible completion with that symbolic snap of the lock. While he's putting on his suspenders and petticoats and even the dress itself he can still turn around and change back. This gradual sissification is a lot of fun, but there's something particularly exciting about having that final snap of the lock. I would wonder what thoughts go through his mind when he hears it. He knows there's no turning back now so does he have second thoughts now that he's trapped? Or does he worry I'll abuse my power over his sissification? Well you're mine now honey and you're trapped in frills for my amusement! Now do some grand battements while I enjoy the view.
You could take him to a costume party where he dresses up as your doll in the lockable sissy dress but he doesn't know it's lockable and you don't tell him anything about it. You just keep the padlock with you. Then, when you get the chance you say something like "turn around, let me check your zip" and put the padlock on and snap! Now he can't change back into his regular clothes and has to go home as a sissy. If he protests, say you didn't even bring the key so you couldn't unlock his dress even if you wanted to. And if everyone starts changing back to their regular clothes except your partner, he won't be able to just come out and say "because I'm locked in this thing" so he'll have to say something else such as "well it's kind of comfortable so I'll change later". LOL!
You could invite guests around and sissy-trap him before they arrive. If you want to be mean, you could do this when his friends are coming around. The really funny part will be watching him squirm and stutter as he thinks of an excuse as to why he's dressed like a sissy doll.
The padlock itself can become a symbol of his forced feminization. You can keep it with you and remind him of what you can do to him. You could drop the hint with phrases like "be nice or you're getting locked up in frills". There are so many possibilities with this.

By Maulid Warfa and Hassnein Hadi
The inauguration of schools in Iraqi prisons means that a sentence to prison does not have to mean a sentence to end learning.
BASRA, Iraq, 5 November 2013 – Mohamed is the oldest of six children. In primary school, he was among the best students in his class.
When he was 12, Mohamed decided to support his family while continuing his education. "I liked my school very much, but I felt the responsibility to help my father and to provide some income," he said.
Mohamed starts working
Mohamed found a job at a store in Basra, which paid about US$12 a day. "This helped my family a lot," he says.
Soon, though, the demands of the job would force Mohamed to leave school.
"I was very comfortable and happy with my work, and I was well respected at home by my parents and my sisters," he says.
One day changes everything
One morning, Mohamed found himself in contact with the law.
According to Mohamed, at 3 a.m., he heard the roar of motorbike engines and the sound of breaking glass. He saw several boys with motorbikes breaking into a mobile phone shop.
"I shouted at them, and they fled," he says. "I then went to see what they were doing. I found the door open. I entered the shop, but within seconds, security guards came in and found me. They called the police."
Mohamed was convicted and sentenced to six years in prison.
In prison, life comes back
In November 2011, Mohamed was moved to Basra Central Prison, where he shared a cell with ten other boys.
In September 2012, Amal Primary School opened in the prison, the result of nearly a year of UNICEF negotiation with Basra authorities. Amal means 'hope', in Arabic.
The school has 45 students in three different levels. It also provides adult literacy classes for 100 male and 20 female inmates from Maqal Prison, which is not far from Basra Central Prison.
Amal school has changed Mohamed's life.
"Before the school, I was depressed, sad and confused, but when the school started, I spent all my spare time studying, as I felt life coming back to me again," he says.
Mohamed's grades reflected his commitment. He was one of two students in the school to pass their stage three national Accelerated Learning Programme examinations with top ten scores.
"I never thought I was going to pass with such high marks – and it is a very beautiful feeling," he says.
Support for Mohamed and others
UNICEF's new Justice for Children Programme in Basra continues to support children like Mohamed, so that they can continue their education and find purpose in life, even when they're in maximum security.
The programme is expanding – a new prison school was due to open in Nassriyah on Sunday 27 October, and another one in Ammara in early 2014.
For Mohamed, prison is now just a bad memory. The same day he got his test scores, he found out he was eligible for early release.
Today, he is reunited with his family and free to pursue his dreams.
"I want to become the best engineer in Iraq, and I know I can," he says.

Springsteen's most recent albums — I'm thinking 2012's Wrecking Ball and this year's High Hopes, in particular — have been fairly disappointing. While his targets (political corruption, economic inequality, etc.) have been on the mark, too often the songs were bogged down by the fussy, over-the-top production.
Fortunately these various bells and whistles get shoved aside in the band's still-vital live shows, which project a spirit and a sense of urgency missing from the sometimes-stilted studio output. It's often said the only certain things in life are death and taxes (and get those returns filed before this concert), but the Boss' ability to deliver live has to run a close third.

boy! and wow!
some real different takes on spiritual life being expressed in this thread!
i can only offer a couple of little nibbles around the edges.
first, according to the loo, this third dimension is not one of understanding.
in fact it is pointed out that understanding this limiting feature of the third is absolutely essential for one's graduation to a higher density.
we are advised not to unilaterally judge the life of others -- or even ourselves -- as we are not in a position to fully understand what is taking place in spiritual levels outside/beyond the conscious mind. of course this does not mean that we are to blandly ignore obvious injustices.
evil -- as negative polarity vs positive -- is a necessary catalytic component added to this particular spot in the 3rd density cosmos. (the idea of an original sin as presented in the christian theology does not apply) note: evil is not synonymous with the concept of sin... evil is disorder, sin is rebellion against god. (since all is one, god cannot logically rebel against itself)
free will...a much misleading/misunderstood term! ( search the archives for some in-depth discussion of what it is -- and what it is not) a more accurate term is that of self-determinism. the point of distinction is that one remains self-determined even if deprived of physical freedom.
our job description ... to explore all potentialities. the cosmic plan is to gain wisdom through information gained by the experience of diversity within unity. (you, me, diversity; humankind, unity)
end result: all is finally reconciled ...the all cannot throw any of its parts away. ( there is no trash can in creator/creation.)
getting help from et's: this world is a do-it-yourself-project. we do get limited mentoring through such as the ra material. the idea of sitting down with et entities and picking their brains ad librium seems eventually counterproductive to what i pick up from the ra. if one has his/her yellow brick roadwork gratuitously done by another it doesn't last. one has to come back later to put the needed bricks in place a second time. and this would also hold true for civilizations and planetary socio-memory complexes also. (look what went wrong following the help provided in the ancient past by the ra. seems a cosmic law that "no good deed goes unpunished")
ok. that is my two yen-bits contribution to the thread. please keep in mind that even though i serve as a moderator (jr. class) my thinking is often flawed and sometimes in need of moderation itself, so to speak... just throw away what doesn't resonate ....best, bbb :d

- Virgin dive sites in Northern Maldives
- 2-3 dives daily
- Big fish manta and sharks sightings
- Excellent macro life on vibrant, coral reefs
- Suitable for more advanced divers - Advanced Open Water qualification needed to be able to join all the dives
One of main attractions to the Northern lights itinerary is the sheer diversity of the diving. There are several thila dives, where you descend onto a submerged reef, hook in and watch the action unfold. Amba thila, Thankandhoo, Nellaidhoo, Anemon Thila... these are just some of the shark spots that are waiting for you. At Baarah Blue and Maarandhoo Blue head out to look for hammerheads as the baracuda swirl on the drop off! Or experience the thrill of diving through Amba Canyon or Bodu Cave. Stop and watch manta swoop in on the reef. Or look for leopard and guitar sharks cruising along the sandy slopes.
The Northern Lights itinerary will thrill any diver - if you have never been the Maldives before cherry pick the ultimate dive sites as you journey between one adrenalin rush to the other. If you are a seasoned Maldives diver you will appreciate the endless quality of diving, stopping at only the very best sites throughout the region. Currents in the northern areas tend not to be as strong as around Male making this an accessible itinerary for all divers but do bear in mind there is some drift diving. Reef hooks are handy in the Maldives too and an essential tool for any photographers wanting to capture that awesome shark or manta shot.
Quick Facts
- Average Water Temp: 27-29 C
- Average Air Temp: 28 - 30 C
- Average Visability: 10-25m
- Good for: sharks, manta and soft corals
- Suitable for beginners: No
- This is an excellent itinerary for anyone looking to visit a different part of the Maldives, with amazing, pristine diving. Get away from the hustle to sample the very best diving between Haa Alifu and Haa Dhaalu atolls
- Coming soon
This is a typical example of the Northern Lights itinerary. The schedule is subject to change according to prevailing weather conditions and is only given as a example of what you would usually encounter during your holiday.
Scuba Travel run the Northern lights itinerary when the season is the best for the ultimate big fish sightings.
Amba will depart for the Northern Lights itinerary is Hanimaadhoo.
Trip Duration
All of our Northern Lights trips run for 7 nights with 7 nights spent on board your liveaboard.
There are normally 2-3 dives a day apart from on your first and last day. There is usually an opportunity for a night dive during the week. There are around 17-18 dives on an average week but this can vary depending on local weather conditions.
As your trip departs from Hanimaadhoo you will be taken to the domestic airport upon landing in Male to catch your flight to this northern most atoll. On arrival in your final destination you will be met and taken to the boat. Where possible we will try to ensure that your transfer times are kept to a minimum.
There will be a full welcome briefing on arrival and you can set your kit up. If you have prepaid any rental equipment this will be given to you on arrival. There is then your first dinner and you can settle in for the evening.
Depending on arrival times you may or may not dive on the arrival day.
A normal Northern Lights itinerary will dive at the following areas but the exact dive sites and order will vary week by week depending on what people enjoy, where the best sightings have been and reflect diver experience levels.
Haa Dhaalu atoll
Look for leopard shaks in Haa Dhaalu! They often shelt from the currents at Anemone thila or Keylakuna thila. After the shark fixes, the time comes to look for manta in Haa Dhaalu.
Nellaidhoo thila is a must, especially with your camera! Manta soar above a school of bat fish and giant travellies. Macro lovers will also be delighted with the wealth of nudibranch and flabellina, espcially at Theefarido thila.
Bodu Cave is an unusual dive and easy for all experience levels. Dive through the shallow cracks as the light bounces off the walls - simply spectacular!
Haa Alifu atoll
Barrah Thila brings you face to face with schools of blackfin barracuda and Spanish mackerel. There are also yet more manta! The corals here are also some of the most beautiful with pinnacles a plenty to work your way around.
You will normally leave the boat after breakfast on your last day and be transferred to the airport to begin your journey home. You will be taken by plane from Hanimandoo back to Male before boarding.
Alternatively, why not add an extension at one of the many beautiful resorts in the Maldives or even a second liveaboard.
If you would like to add an extension, combine this with another product or tweak the itinerary give us a call so we can discuss your dream diving holiday.
Amba has pioneered diving in the more remote northern atolls of Haa Alifu, Haa Dhaalu, Baa, Raa and Noonu. Here the reefs are devoid of other dive boats. This is dive escapism at it's very best in the Maldives with an experience...

$100,000 per fiscal year per taxpayer; $2.1 million per fiscal year for all taxpayers
$0.01 per kWh / $0.30 per therm
In 2007 South Carolina enacted the Energy Freedom and Rural Development Act, which provides production incentives for certain biomass-energy facilities. Eligible systems earn $0.01 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for electricity generated or $0.30 per therm (100,000 Btu) for energy produced from biomass resources. These incentives are available to systems that did not produce energy from biomass resources before June 30, 2008, or systems that increase production by at 25% over their greatest three-year average before June 30, 2008. The incentive payment is also applicable to energy from a qualifying facility placed in service and first producing energy on or after July 1, 2008. The maximum incentive is $100,000 per taxpayer per year. Incentives will be paid beginning on the date the system was placed in service. No incentives will be awarded after June 30, 2018. All claims will be paid from the state's general fund, and total claims may not exceed $2.1 million per fiscal year. As of August 2009, the South Carolina Department of Revenue had distributed $300,000 in payments. The incentive payment for the production of electricity or thermal energy may not be claimed for both electricity and energy produced from the same biomass resource.
For the purposes of this incentive, a biomass resource is defined as "wood, wood waste, agricultural waste, animal waste, sewage, landfill gas, and other organic materials, not including fossil fuels."
For more information about how to apply for the incentive, review the program application.

Summit Midstream buys gas gathering system in Weld County
- published_in
- Today's News
The Niobrara Gas Gathering System, under construction in Hereford near the Wyoming border, will serve gas production by EOG Resources. The cryogenic processing plant will have a capacity of 20 million cubic feet of gas per day.
The infrastructure is expected to be completed in the second quarter, Bear Tracker CEO Robert Clark said.
Dallas-based Summit Midstream, which has an office in Denver, said it expects the acquisition to close in the first quarter subject to regulatory approval.
The deal also includes privately held Bear Tracker's assets in the Williston Basin in North Dakota.
"This acquisition provides us with a significant presence in two of the most prolific and highest growth unconventional crude oil basins in North America," Summit Midstream CEO Steve Newby said.

Summer weather has settled down upon our hills with resulting heat and humidity, while hound dogs seek out a shady spot and the youngsters head for the nearest swimming pool. The early garden crops are flourishing in the warm weather and we are beginning to enjoy the first fresh vegetables. Raspberries are starting to ripen; black, velvety caps of sweetness. Soon the blackberries will be in season and we are ready to gather the hill's bountiful goodness.
There is a price to pay however, from hoeing and weeding the garden to fighting off sweat bees and scratching chiggers as we pick the blackberries and raspberries. It is worth the battle to enjoy a hunk of blackberry cobbler warm from the oven, or sit down to a plate of new potatoes, fried squash and leaf lettuce with chopped green onions—in a bacon grease and vinegar dressing. It makes the hot weather worthwhile.
This morning there was a garden hoe propped up in the living room, and it immediately made me think of Mom. She always told us that bringing a hoe in the house was bad luck, along with raising an umbrella in the house. I don't think she was really superstitious, yet it was ingrained in her from childhood. I did read in an article on folk lore that it was believed if a hoe was carried through the house, a death in the family would occur soon. To guard against this, the hoe has to be immediately carried back out with the handle pointed toward sunrise. (I think I'd better take the hoe out.)
Mom's family was pretty superstitious, and she would quote some of these old sayings with her tongue in cheek, although I wonder if she didn't half-believe some of them. I've heard her say that if a baby sees its reflection in a mirror, it will die before it's a year old. If that were true, all the babies in the family would be in the cemetery.
"To drop a dish cloth meant company was coming"—I've heard Mom say, when she dropped a dish rag that "Somebody's coming, all spraddled out!" That was a pretty sure prediction, as we had lots of company. If you were a dirty-faced child and company stepped up on the porch, you were sure to get your face washed with a wet dish rag—and that's not a superstition!
A lot of folks think that planting crops by the signs of the moon is superstition. It is not—it works. We planted cucumbers once when the signs were in the flowers—they bloomed profusely, but didn't produce hardly anything. On the other hand, if planted in the sign of the twins, you will have a double crop. It really pays to consult an almanac when planning your garden.
This is not superstition, but is verified by the Bible. Psalms 104-19 says, "He appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his going down." Planting by the moon signs assure you of successful crops. I know by experience that making pickled goods (sauerkraut, pickled corn, etc.) in the wrong signs is a failure. I once made sauerkraut when the signs were in the "secrets" and it turned black and slimy. Mom said I had made a secret weapon. It was no secret what it smelled like.
Many of the old home remedies were pure superstition, although most of the herbal medicines had merit. We still use yellow root for sore throats, mouth sores and other ailments. Coltsfoot is good for coughs and fevers, and catnip makes a soothing tea for baby's colic. The juice from the touch-me-not weed will dry up poison ivy, and makes a good dandruff rinse.
Some of these other things are really superstitions. "Placing a pan of water under the bed stops night sweats"—if this would work, I'd sure use it. "Wrapping a warm red woolen sock around the neck cures sore throat." I had a niece tell me once that wrapping her grandmother's sock around your neck would cure leprosy!"
Another good one is "To cure asthma, place the patient's back against a tree. Peg a lock of hair into a hole bored in the tree, and snip it off. When the bark grows over the hair, the asthma will be gone." Kermit McKown told me a remedy once to cure warts. He said to secretly steal a dishrag from your mother's kitchen and bury it. The wart will go away.
It seems that old folks had a remedy for everything. "If you get a new kitten and want to keep it home, rub butter on its paws. By the time it sits down and licks the butter off, it will feel at home." That sorta makes sense. An old gentleman once told daughter Patty the way to keep a new dog at home is to rub a biscuit under your arm and feed it to him. I guess it will either stay home or take off for the wild blue yonder.
Mom's family really believed in omens or portents of an impending death. "If a rooster crows in the middle of the night, it is a sign of death in the family." It's not that I believe in tokens, but a strange dog howled under Mom's bedroom window for three nights in a row, and the next night she got word that her Dad had passed away. Mom did have ESP, and experienced a lot of things for which there was no explanation. (Maybe I do have a little bit of superstition!)
Here is a letter I received from David Luzader of Sutton—you can form your own opinion.
"My wife and I have been married almost 15 years. She and my mom were both flower nuts. Six or seven years ago, Mother bought a rose bush, and bought my wife one too. She planted hers in her yard and planted mine in our yard. Ours always had big blooms on it right up 'til winter. Last November it bloomed in the snow.
"Mother died last August 17. This spring I noticed our rose didn't leaf out—it's hammer dead. I went by Mom's old place and hers is dead also—just a dead, brown bunch of thorny sticks. Nothing was done any differently than any other year, such as trimming, etc. You reckon Mother took her roses with her? I ain't superstitious, but this is a little weird, even for me and nothing really surprises me—"
You can draw your own conclusion.

The creek begins near Stahlstown, and follows SR
711 and SR 381 to the town of Ligonier. This section
of water is not of much interest to most fly fishers
until the creek reaches the town of Ligonier, where
the Delayed Harvest
Artificial Lures Only section begins. The DHALO
section runs for 1.5 miles, from SR 711 downstream
to SR 2045. Here, it is heavily stocked, and you can
easily access the creek by using SR 711, Route 30,
or SR 2045. This section is characterized by charming
riffles, runs, and deep pools. Usually, you'll find
the water very clear and slow moving whenever there
hasn't been much rain. The average width of the stream
in this part is 50 to 60 feet, and slightly larger
below the spot Mill Creek enters the DHALO section,
about midway downstream.
Hatches on Loyalhanna Creek are fairly good. You'll
find a decent supply of Mayflies, Stoneflies, and Caddis
to keep you busy throughout most of the spring and
early summer. If weather permits, and summer fishing
is good, Terrestrial patterns will work well. At times,
this is a thin, clear creek, so using fairly long,
light leaders will increase your odds. Nymphs and streamers
work well, especially when the water is off-color.
The Loyalhanna Creek in Southwestern Pennsylvania
is a good destination for a day trip of fishing or
to just get away from the busy city of Pittsburgh.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYTim Teufel never was a stellar hitter at the plate but was a solid contact hitter as shown in this opposite-field single in a 1988 game at Shea Stadium. Teufel, who platooned at second base with Wally Backman, hit .234 with four homers in 90 games that season.

|So excited to make her own breakfast!
I have been putting together lists of one kind or another most Fridays for a little bit now. They include favorite meals or cooking with kids tips. Now I would like to share, in honor of Mother's Day, the five things I love about cooking with my children:
- The pride they share when a task is completed well. I exclaimed once how good a meal was, Audrey proudly said it was because she made it.
- Fun time with the girls. Sometimes between the hurry to activities and the reminder to pick up the shoes I forget to have fun with my girls. Cooking together is an easy way to solve that.
- I am teaching them something great. Real food is not something my mother was able to share. It was the late '70s/early '80s and everyone was in love with convenience. Audrey is learning the difference between a zucchini and a cucumber.
- It may not be much but I know they eat better when they help cook a meal. Audrey is a lot more likely to try food out of curiosity when she helps with prep. They also better understand the yummy ingredients we place in dishes and like to see how they taste.
- How much more fun is it to enjoy food you created?! Had I known I would enjoy cooking so much I might have started before the age of 36.
What is your favorite things about the kitchen? Cooking, eating, baking?

CRAZY FACT: Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, longtime producer of seminal industrial noisemakers Skinny Puppy and frequent Trent Reznor collaborator, did the instrumental mix for "Call Me Maybe." How's that for six degrees of separation?
As the resident Nine Inch Nails fan on the Alive staff, I declare this to be ... pretty awesome. If you're in the mood for more heavy-meets-pop mashups, here are a couple of favorites:

RUSH: So what do we have here? We have Obamacare. And the real sticking point in the House of Representatives -- there is one that triumphs over all -- is abortion. Obama says he wants the bill on his desk by when? Easter. Therefore, the way to characterize this, President Obama and the Democrats in a showdown over abortion on Easter. Showdown over abortion on Easter. That's reducing Obamacare to its essence. Here's Pelosi this morning on Capitol Hill at her weekly press briefing.
PELOSI: I feel very confident that the up-or-down vote on the majority rule proposal that will come to the House will satisfy members' concerns about the Senate bill.

"I feel very confident that the up-or-down vote on the majority rule proposal that will come to the House will satisfy members' concerns about the Senate bill." What is she talking about? The majority rule proposal that will come to the House -- that's not the Senate bill because she then says, will satisfy members' concerns about the Senate bill. So she's a talking about reconciliation. This takes me back to Hoyer. They're going to reconcile first and then they're gonna send it to the Senate, "You put it in there and you send it over to us." You know what's going to kill this? Aside from the content what's going to kill this is this process, this very process. When people learn, like you people listening to this program have learned, when they learn the process, people will instinctively know this is not how this happens in our country. This is not how laws become law.
By the way, a little shout-out here to Bart Stupak in Michigan. How does it feel to be treated like a Republican, Bart? The cable TV people are just nothing more than Obama surrogates. Every time they interview Stupak they bore into the guy. "You really want to be the reason why we lose health care in America? Do you have no shame? You really, really, really want to be evil and the reason we don't all have health care?" It's the same thing they were asking Scott Brown, except he was a Republican. Stupak is a Democrat.
Let's get these next two out of the way. This is Gibbs, White House spokesman, on MSNBC this morning. He was talking to the cohost Savannah Guthrie along with F. Chuck Todd. Question: "For a president that really, really prides himself as a consensus --" Savannah, would you show me one consensus he's built? These people in Washington are so insulated, they haven't the slightest clue. Would you show me where he's ever unified anything, Savannah? His own chief of staff is out leaking in the press how rotten a guy he is, and if it weren't for his chief of staff they'd be in real trouble. There's no unity between himself and the chief of staff. He's complaining about his wife nagging him on his cholesterol and everything else. No wonder the guy smokes and drinks. Show me the unity, Savannah! It's no use, folks. All these false premises, all these templates, story lines. All right, here's a question. "For a president that really prides himself as a consensus builder, does it kind of turn his stomach that he's now at a place where he has to really get health care by this 51 person vote as opposed to the more traditional means of a supermajority in the Senate?"
GIBBS: We got health care done, not with 51 but with 60 votes. That's what passed the Senate back before Christmas. In most households, I bet in Chuck's household, I know in my household, 51% represents a majority viewpoint. I don't think that's a crazy concept here in America.
TODD: But you made the decision --
GIBBS: The president understands that he's the president and he's gotta lead this country. We will continue to talk to Republicans. We have added their ideas throughout this process. They seem to not want to take "yes" for any sort of answer. We are going to work every day here in the White House over the next two or three weeks to get health care done.
RUSH: It's silly to waste time on this guy. He's a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance. So we'll move on. Savannah Guthrie and F. Chuck Todd are talking to their own correspondent, Mike Viqueira, about Representative Eric Massa deciding not to run for reelection. This is the guy that's been accused of sexually harassing a male staff member. Savannah Guthrie says, "Obama really prides himself as a consensus builder. For lack of a better word here, is this a sideshow on Capitol Hill?"
TODD: Eric Massa was a "no" vote on health care. Does he now become a "yes" vote since he's not running for reelection? Huh. It's sort of an odd fallout on that front. Thank you, Mike Viqueira.
VIQUEIRA: He was one of the ones they were hoping to get to switch.
RUSH: I think he's already switched, is right. (laughing) F. Chuck, he switched already. But F. Chuck here is basically saying that these allegations could be good for Obamacare. So here's a guy whose life is probably really damaged here, it's been leaked by his own party, no doubt, that he had a sexual harassment allegation against him by a man in his office, and here's F. Chuck, man, oh, man this could really help Obamacare. What a great thing.
Okay. I never thought this would happen. I never thought this would happen. We have a montage of some media people calling Obama out on reconciliation flip-flop. Now, some of these don't surprise me. Greta Van Susteren, Larry Kudlow. However, the perky Katie Couric is in this montage, as is Anderson Cooper.
VAN SUSTEREN: Plan B, reconciliation. President Obama didn't always think, though, that it was a good idea.
KUDLOW: Mr. Obama had a different message back in 2007.
COURIC: In 2007 when President Obama was a Senator, he criticized the use of the reconciliation process in health care reform. Is this a case of where you stand depends on where you sit?
COOPER: He flip-flopped on this. Clearly now he's going back on what he said on the campaign trail, basically saying he's prepared to ram this thing through Congress with a 50-plus-one vote.
RUSH: Okay, I take it back. They're just pointing it out. But they're not upset by it. And they don't think there's anything fraudulent about it and they don't think there's anything hypocritical about it. They probably think it's good for Obamacare because that's all that matters, is it good for Obamacare or is it not. "Dung Heap" Harkin, there he is right there on MSNBC, just said Pelosi doesn't have the votes yet. Trust me, my friends, on this, don't doubt me. They don't have the votes, they're nowhere close to having the votes, and the more convoluted this process gets the even angrier people are going to get.
RUSH: So he wants Obamacare passed on Easter. Do you realize this guy ruined our summer, this guy ruined our Thanksgiving, this guy ruined our Christmas, and now he's going to ruin our Easter by trying to ramrod something nobody wants down their throats -- and on Easter! There's something very symbolic about that. I'm going to get to that. Obamacare was born on Christmas Eve, and now they want to resurrect it on Easter. Some might say that the bill was conceived on Christmas Eve but the template will fit a messiah if it passes. How better to portray yourself as a real messiah if your signature issue is born (or conceived, whatever) on Christmas Eve, and dies and then is resurrect on Easter. The only prob... (interruption) Well, I know it's not a virgin birth since we're all getting the shaft here and getting screwed but it's also going to be a problem with his Muslim friends with the timing here. He coulda done it on Ramadan and it would be a little bit better for them, but never mind that. There is some irony that Obama's great, great, great plan that is going to ostensibly improve the country's health, all hinges on whether the federal government will pay for the killing of babies or not -- and deciding that by Easter.
RUSH: This is Bob in Worcester, Massachusetts. It's great to have you on the program, sir.
CALLER: Rush, it's a big honor to talk to you.
RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.
CALLER: About this congressman from Utah who's brother's offered the judgeship on the Court of Appeals?
RUSH: Oh, yeah.
CALLER: I wanted to ask your opinion on it. I was thinking that if he does change his vote on this, this could really backfire big time for the White House because I think the outcry on this would be so severe that it could cost 'em -- who knows? -- a half a dozen or a dozen votes, just from the storm it causes.
RUSH: Maybe. I don't think the White House is looking at it that way. I think they might think it might hurt the congressman who allows his vote to be purchased with the appointment of his brother, but Obama doesn't care what happens to the congressman.
CALLER: Rush, you don't think it would scare off maybe five or six or ten that might be on the fence?
RUSH: Why? The Louisiana Purchase didn't send any Democrats running the other way, and the Cornhusker Kickback didn't send any Democrats running the other way.
CALLER: Well, when you add 'em all together, Rush, the people are starting to really get fed up, you know?
RUSH: Well, I know. No question. This whole process is really ugly, and people start to see this. This is not how this stuff gets done, especially since it's all happening because no one wants it. This is a total stab in the eye at the American public, the American people. They have expressed themselves clearly and frequently and proudly on this. They want no part of it, and so rules are being broken. Corners are being cut. The Chicago way: Whatever it takes to get this done. There is just something about this that rubs people the wrong way, besides the content of the bill. The content of the bill is bad enough. But the entire process here is also something that is just not working in Obama's favor, except he doesn't care. I mean, the thing that you have to understand about Obama is he doesn't care. He has three years before he has to face anybody. He doesn't care.
He doesn't care what you think of the process. He doesn't care what you think of the bill. He doesn't care whether you like it or not. He does care if he can convince a number of Democrats in the House to give up their careers and fall on the sword in order for him to get his bill, his monument. He doesn't care what you think. And the vast majority of Democrats in Washington don't care what you think. The testament to that is right before your very eyes. Since last August, they have telegraphed it. Hell, they haven't telegraphed it; they've advertised it. They don't care what you think. They don't think you're smart. They don't think you're smart enough to know what's good for you. But they know this isn't good for you. This is only good for them. They don't care! The party of supposed compassion and love and tolerance and understanding -- the party of "the little guy" -- doesn't care about you at all. Not a whit. And it's not 'cause I'm saying it. It's right out there for you to see each and every day.

Terps Win as a Team, Lose as a Program
by Paul Ohanian | LaxMagazine.com | NCAA Championship Game Blog Replay
Maryland players console each other Monday following their 9-7 NCAA championship game loss to Virginia.
And so it continues.
The most infamous championship drought in college lacrosse just got a year older. Maryland, one of the game's so-called traditional powers, has now gone 36 years since winning its last national championship. Who could have possibly guessed that after the Terps claimed their second NCAA title in three years with their win over Navy in the 1975 final?
The Terps have come close a number of times during the previous 36 years, but circumstances always seem to conspire against them. There were runner-up finishes in 1976, 1979 and three more during a four-year stretch in the 1990s. Each time, they had to stand aside after the handshakes to watch their opponent hoist the walnut and bronze NCAA trophy. To add insult to injury, two of those championship game losses came on their home turf at Byrd Stadium.
The stars seemed to align this time around. A strong senior class provided leadership on and off the field. A resilient attitude carried Maryland through a season of ups and downs. And the championship was being played in Baltimore before a lopsided, pro-Terrapin crowd.
The names and faces have changed through the years, but the sad history continues. The figurative champagne remains on ice.
First-year coach John Tillman now knows the same heartache experienced by predecessors Dino Mattessich, Dick Edell and Dave Cottle through the years. Two of them were at M&T Bank Stadium on Monday, hoping to see the Terps put an end to the streak.
Seventeen seniors walked off the field Monday feeling the same agony that so many other seniors have also known following their final games. Did former standouts Joe Walters, Bill McGlone, Dan Groot and Mike Mollet share Ryan Young's hurt Monday?
For that matter, did the Ritz brothers, Alford brothers, Healy brothers and Phipps brothers feel the pain of the Byles and Bernhardts? It's still a brotherhood, right?
You wish Bob Boneillo, Peter Worstell, Jim Wilkerson or Brandon Hanley had just the right words to sooth Grant Catalino's hurt. Once a team scoring leader, always a team scoring leader.
You wonder if past faceoff specialists like Todd Ensor, Andy Claxton, Brian Haggerty and Brian Carroll are thinking about Curtis Holmes right now? Nobody understands the grunts at the "X" better than each other.
Will prior cage stalwarts Kevin O'Leary, Brian Dougherty, Pat McGinnis and Danny McCormick share this moment with Niko Amato? Will one of them tell him that he did all he could to get his team over the hump, and that he will have another chance next year?
Will Joe Cinosky, Brian Reese or Michael Howley have the right words to ease Brett Schmidt's frustrations after holding a national player of the year candidate virtually scoreless in the biggest game of the year and still coming up just short?
Will Jim Beardmore, Rob Chomo, Andrew Whipple or Matt Hahn help lift Joe Cummings, who would gladly trade individual honors like an All-ACC selection for the ultimate team prize?
You wonder if athletics director Kevin Anderson will get calls of empathy from Lew Perkins, Andy Geiger or Dick Dull. Maybe they'll all get together at some point to lament the one that got away. You wonder if somebody will remember to invite Debbie Yow.
The 2011 Terrapins wanted to win this title themselves, no doubt, but also for so many of these other alums who have travelled down the same path. Tillman said as much following the game.
"It wasn't just about them," he said. "We wanted to do it for all those guys who came before us.
"We didn't look at [the streak] as looming over our heads. We looked at it as, 'We want to do something special for some other people.' And that speaks volumes for the character of our guys."
And so it continues. Terrapin Nation turns to a familiar refrain after another yet another heartbreak.
Wait 'til next year.

Now I put the differentiated equation equal to 0 and isolate x:
Why am I not getting ? According to my graph, that is the correct value?
There are many ways to get this solutions. One of them:
You need to solve
We devide by -3
We add a zero
Some rearranging
As you know it is (do you know this theoreme? Respectively do you see how we find a and b?)

'Keeping Up With Kardashians' Season 7 Episode 4 Recap: Kris Amuses With Her X-Rated Grunts
With Kris' eroctic grunts, Bruce's bold moves and Kourtney's bad movie romance; the Kardashians learn that playing together isn't always the best thing to do.
On this week's episode Kris' excitement about playing tennis gets deflated when the family notices that she makes an x-rated noise every time she takes a swing. While Bruce's bold moves to get Kris to manage his son Brandon shows him that family and business don't always mix.
And Kourtney's movie romance turns into a bad romance when Scott tries to channel her favorite romance movie character.
Not that much drama this week, but Scott stole the show with the "romance in his drawers." Here is the full recap. Let me know your thoughts about the episode down below.
Kris' Tennis Grunts Too Hot For The Court
The episode starts off with Bruce and Kris on the tennis court with Kris' friend. During the session the Kardashian mom reminisces on the fun times she's had playing the game, and decides to get everyone together for some fun family matches.
The momager brings Kim, Kourtney and Mason out for a game, which leads to the girls noticing a sexual grunting sound coming from their mom's mouth every time she takes a swing. "Do you want to hear mom having sex," Kim says embarrassingly.
Kim K is so amused by Kris' grunts that she organizes a family match, and once the playing begins everyone looks around like "what is that noise" including baby Mason.
After some mocking and laughs, Kris storms off the court. The Kardashian mom is so upset that she tells Bruce that she doesn't want to play tennis anymore. But Kim manages to patch things up by gifting her with a fancy racquet and ball.
Bruce Makes A Bold Move To Get Brandon What He Deserves
Bruce makes an aggressive attempt to get Kris to manage his son Brandon's music career. But neither Kris nor Brandon think that it's a good idea to mix family and business.
However, Bruce is very determined to make Brandon apart of the Kardashian "marketing machine" and goes as far as interrupting an important meeting between Kris and Babyface to show the two Brandon's music video.
The bold move works in his favor, and Kris agrees to meet with Brandon to talk about managing him. When the two meet they both agree that it's probably not a good idea and decide to tell Bruce that the stepmomager thing is not going to work.
After Kris and Brandon speak with the Jenner dad, he backs down and lets the two know that he was just trying to get Brandon what he deserves.
Kourtney Yearns For A Movie Romance
Kourtney's pregnancy hormones are kicking in and the mommy-to-be is yearning for a movie romance. "If you want to see romance check in these drawers," Scott says jokingly.
This doesn't fly too well with Kourt who feel like she has to get her romance from watching movies like Titanic. So to appease his long time beau Scott tries everything from proposing to eat salsa off Kourts feet to channeling Ryan Gosling's character from The Notebook.
None of his plans seem to work though and the father-to-be gets frustrated over Kourtney's "out of whack expectations." Scott makes one last attempt to please Kourtney with fresh red roses, a tuxedo and dinner.
At first Kourt insults him, but finally gives in to him and the cold pasta.

James Wright | 2/10/2014, 4:11 p.m.
D.C. Council member Tommy Wells introduced legislation Monday that would bar employers from inquiring about job applicants' criminal records — a practice he says hinders employment opportunities for returning citizens.
Wells (D-Ward 6), who is running for mayor, introduced the "Fair Criminal Record Screening Act of 2014" during a hearing of the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety at the John A. Wilson Building in Northwest. The bill would "ban the box," or prevent employers from asking about criminal records during the initial stage of getting a job.
There is no scheduled mark-up or vote for the legislation to go to the full council, but Wells, who chairs the committee, said that the time is right for it.
"The bill would only allow employers to ask about an applicant's record of conviction once a conditional offer of employment has been extended," he said. "The bill would continue our efforts to address the challenges facing our returning citizens, especially from the failed war on drugs."
Courtney Stewart, the chairman of the Reentry Network for Returning Citizens, spoke in favor of the bill.
"We need to begin to address taking the box out of applications," Stewart said. "The reentry population needs a fair chance to get a job and people should be judged based on their ability to do a job and not their past. We have worked it out in the public sector and now the private sector has to change."
District government statistics show that about 60,000 residents have criminal records. Each year, an estimated 8,000 residents return to the city after serving prison sentences and roughly 50 percent are incarcerated again within three years.
Debra Rowe, the acting executive director of Returning Citizens United Inc., said that oftentimes her constituents come back from being incarcerated into difficult situations.
"Many family members open their hearts and their arms to incarcerated family members but what they need is opened doors," Rowe said. "Because of the returning citizen has challenges in employment and other problems such as mental and emotional issues, that strains relations with family members and they are often asked to leave.
"Returning citizens are diligent about working and being responsible citizens, but too often it is the 'box' that prevents them from being employed," she said.
James White said he knows exactly what Rowe is talking about. White has been trying to find steady employment since he finished his probation for an unregistered firearm charge in 2004.
"Recently, I went to George Washington University to get a job in maintenance," said White, who lives in a transitional shelter in Northeast. "The lady in personnel watched me as I filled out the application. When I checked the box that indicated that I had a criminal record, she immediately took the application and said that I would not be hired."
White, who has stellar recommendations from staff members at Bread for the City in Southeast where he has participated in job programs, said that he is distraught about the incident.
"I was somehow too dangerous to clean floors," he said.
While most on hand supported the bill, Kathy Hollinger, the president of the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington, voiced her concern.
"While we do support the ban the box provisions, we think that some aspects of the bill are burdensome to small businesses," Hollinger said, arguing that small businesses will essentially have to use valuable time on paperwork to justify not hiring a returning citizen.
The bill could lead to businesses hiring people they do not want to avoid fines for non-compliance with the law, she said.
Rowe countered that Wells' legislation will not require a business to hire anyone but will give returning citizens a fair chance to be employed. She said that businesses will not be required to hire someone who has committed a crime in the arena in which the business specializes.
