Facing Fear
Chapter One
A martini at lunch. Preferably alone. Classified files on everyone. Tabs on women he slept with. Dark navy business suit and black tie. A briefcase of papers. And the careful suspicion of everyone working under him.
Ricardo Harden had become what he hated most in life -- A bureaucrat. Worse, a bureaucrat who followed the rules, shoved all the right papers, dotted his i's and crossed his t's. He was getting gray from just the drabness of his existence, and if he would just take that final step, he'd stop jogging five miles every other morning and let his body turn into what he was in real life.
And now, despite walking the straight and narrow line of red tape, he had become the object of suspicion. Again. Internal Investigations, the self-governing arm of covert activities in the government, had all but officially put him in the crosshairs. It wasn't stated in the front page article in today's newspaper, but he could read between the lines.
Rick stepped out of the shower, wiped the excess water from his wet body, and threw the towel into the hamper. He strode nude out of the bathroom, picking up the newspaper and small plastic bag on the antique stand. His body ached happily because he had forced another three miles on it this morning. His legs, toned from years of running, felt bulkier and heavier as each group of muscles came into play when he climbed the small staircase that led into his bedroom in the tri-level apartment.
There were two rooms up the short flight of steps. One was the master bedroom. The other was his office, which was always locked. And as he had every day in his life for the past ten years, Rick checked his office door, making sure nothing was touched. Satisfied that the safeguards were still there, untampered with, he turned to his room.
It was still silken dark inside, the other occupant in his bed fast asleep. He walked over to the window and drew the shades open, letting in the morning light. His companion from the night before frowned and turned away from the source, giving him a view of her naked back.
Rick stood over the bed and watched her for a long moment. He must have been in a strange mood last night. He hadn't had sex four times in a night in Lord knew how many years, but he had been hard all night. Hard and wanting, and needing something. His companion had loved it, but he felt empty. Because what he was looking for didn't come with sex.
He blamed it on work. His lips twisted. Well, not work exactly, since he couldn't work with the Big Scandal getting bigger every day. David Gorman, the deputy director of Task Force Two, had been caught selling classified information to the enemy and Rick knew it wouldn't be long before Internal Investigations came after him. He was Gorman's operations chief after all, though no one would have ever guessed that Gorman was his enemy, that he had been living a lie the past ten years.
Last night Rick had gone out to relax, to celebrate having an old enemy finally out of his hair, and who did he spy sitting in the best seats of the opera house but reminders of what a failure he had been. Steve McMillan and Cameron Candeloro, the two heroes of the department, the ones who had taken down Gorman. Rick couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy at the happiness radiating from the two men sitting down with their female companions, so satisfied with life and what it had to offer.
Of course, they had to be attending an opera called Turandot, about a cold-hearted princess who schemed to put her men to death. The happy ending was so obviously manufactured that Rick didn't even bother to consider it part of the story. In true life, he knew, Princess Turandot wouldn't have succumbed to love. She would happily send that suitor to his death for being so stupid and generous with his heart.
But he saw Steve McMillan caressing Marlena Maxwell's back as they walked off in the lobby, saw the way she smiled up at him when he pressed a kiss on her forehead. He saw how Cameron danced attendance on his girlfriend. Rick had smiled bitterly. What love could do to a man.
Something dark and needy had risen inside him then. Something forbidden. He had crushed it down with ruthless practice, but knew he needed to give it an outlet.
The pale flesh of the woman on his bed caught his attention. Sex. Hard, calculating sex. The kind that was all taking and not giving.
He had taken his companion here to his place and given in to that part of him that was always locked up. She hadn't protested, and he would have kept going all night long if he hadn't run out of condoms. No, he was more careful than that. Animal desire was one thing. Getting carried away was another. And he never, ever, got carried away. Not anymore.
He sat down on the bed, contemplating whether to wake his sleeping companion. He shrugged, then slid a hand down her bare back, under the covers, and between her legs. She was still sticky wet from the night before.
She moaned and turned around, squinting against the morning light. "Richard?" she murmured sleepily, then smiled. Rick knew she thought it was something to do with her, this sudden insatiable side of him. "Hmm, no more condoms, remember? I can't believe you're ready again."
He didn't bother to tell her that it wasn't she, that after this, he probably wouldn't ask her out again. She knew his reputation when they had started down this road -- they all did ...Facing Fear.

Introduction to energy planning
This section summarises the process that some local authorities are using to plan strategically for sustainable energy.
- Developing an energy opportunities map
- Developing a shared energy vision
- Spatial planning or corporate policy making
- Evidence base
Developing an energy opportunities map
Energy opportunities maps, or energy maps, are a useful way of presenting information that can be used in the preparation of planning and corporate policies and in community engagement activities. The PPS1 Supplement on Planning and Climate Change was the principal driver for this kind of exercise. Increasingly, local authorities are using them to shape area-wide energy visions and strategies for future growth.
Energy opportunities maps are being used as a starting point for identifying the potential for:
- types of technologies and suitable locations
- linking projects together or sharing energy centres
- phasing energy projects with other development
- improving the viability of development sites by collocation with a strategic energy project.
Energy maps are normally GIS (Geographical Information System) based and often prepared at the neighbourhood, local authority or sub-regional scale. They can show information on heat density for district heating, wind, biomass, solar, hydro, energy from waste and other sustainable energy resource. This information is shown alongside details of existing and future energy demands and locations of anchor loads or proposed new development.
These maps are an invaluable resource for policy-making, developing energy visions and for project developers. Their spatial nature means that planning departments are ideally placed to lead their preparation, but other departments should be involved.
Examples of energy maps can be seen in Blackpool, North Hampshire (Basingstoke, Rushmoor and Hart), Eastbourne, Cornwall (Camborne, Pool and Redruth AAP), Greater Manchester (10 AGMA authorities), Stockport, Enfield, Bassetlaw, Cannock Chase, Waveney and London. More information on energy maps, their preparation and use can be found in 'Community energy: planning, development and delivery'.
Stockport used and energy opportunities study to develop policies for their core strategy and wider carbon management policies. More information is available in this case study:
Stockport's energy opportunities and policies
Developing a shared energy vision
Planning and corporate policies can be developed using an energy opportunities map. An energy map can be an important part of the evidence base. Maps enable policies to be targeted at specific energy opportunities and can be a valuable resource for community engagement. Local authorities can use energy maps to talk to residents, community groups and developers about the potential for local energy projects and to develop a shared energy vision.
Based on the types of energy opportunities present in an area, their scale and likely timescales for realisation, an energy vision should:
- set out priority technologies and projects that can make a real difference and deliver wider benefits to the town
- explore the relationship between people, businesses, places and energy
- inspire and galvanise support among politicians, potential partners and the wider community.
Agreement should be reached over the respective roles of each stakeholder in making these a reality, be they a project developer, investor, coordinator or decision maker. The vision should have political buy-in and be adequately reflected in all relevant plans, strategies and actions.
Spatial planning or corporate policy making
Developing planning or corporate policies that seek to deliver sustainable energy can differentiate between types of opportunity. These fall into two broad categories:
Building integrated - especially microgeneration, delivered as part of a property development scheme or retrofitted onto existing buildings. Project developers are likely to be property developers, local authorities, individuals or communities.
Strategic energy generation and infrastructure - either connects new and existing buildings (such as a town centre district heating network) or is a standalone energy project (such as a wind turbine or solar farm). Project developers are likely to be energy developers, local authorities or communities.
Policies can be targeted at these different categories and project developers. Importantly, they should seek to support implementation of the energy vision.
The Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) publication, 'Planning for climate change: guidance and model policies for local authorities', is a good source of information on policy making. This recommends that policies:
- focus on delivering the opportunities set out in energy maps
- avoid duplicating requirements in Part L of the building regulations (this affects building integrated technologies particularly).
Planning for climate change: guidance and model policies for local authorities
Evidence base
Developing the resource, vision and policies described above needs to be underpinned by a robust evidence base. The Government has clarified that local and regional planning evidence bases, including energy, will continue to form an important part of planning and decision making.
Many evidence bases for planning policies have focused on providing detailed technical information. This is designed to demonstrate the viability of development-integrated sustainable energy policies and targets. These studies can be costly and perhaps of limited value since changes in the economic climate can quickly render them out of date.
After 2013, building regulations will render planning policies designed to deliver development-integrated energy unnecessary. The issue of financial viability for planners will therefore become far less critical. However, evidence bases remain necessary and should focus on developing a resource (that is, an energy map). The evidence base should be designed to support:
- corporate and planning policy makers
- development managers - providing information for assessing planning applications
- project developers - helping them to choose between energy options.
This approach should result in a practical and straightforward evidence base; one which provides better value for money. 'Community energy: planning, development and delivery' contains more detail on what should be included.

BL Awards 2011: 'Criminal' beats 'Bhaag DK Bose' for Most Bizarre Lyrics!
The BollywoodLife Awards 2011 results are out! Click to know the winners
So, which film song of 2011 had the most bizarre lyrics? Bhaag DK Bose? You're wrong. It's Criminal from RA.One that has our readers intrigued. Initially when we were monitoring the results a few days after the nominations were out, it seemed as if Bhaag DK Bose from Delhi Belly would be a definite winner. But as more people exercised their vote, Criminal took over quite surprisingly – with 50.07% of the total votes. Bhaag DK Bose stood at 36.66% votes when polling closed. It was uncanny to see songs from the films of Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan – also their home productions – compete for something as bizarre an award as Bizarre Lyrics! Deepika Padukone's item song Mit jaaye gham from Dum Maaro Dum got 8.84% votes, while the Kutta song from Pyaar Ka Punchnama got 4.42% votes. Total votes were 701.

BIGG BOSS 5 house: Why are the colours so bright?
The colour scheme of the Bigg Boss house has been designed to create disharmony among the contestants
If you look at the colours of the Bigg Boss 5 house this time around (check pictures below), they are brighter and more jarring to the eye than in previous seasons. True, the BB house has never had pale or pastel shades in its decor. But for the current season, the colour scheme seems to be deliberately chosen to create uneasiness and stress. The Bigg Boss sets are still near Mumbai, only they have moved from Lonavala to Karjat over the last two seasons. But whether it's the change of venue or the interiors, it is all intentional.

Feeling Sensitive
Lots of women feel sensitive during their period, it's quite natural. That's when they're more inclined to experiencing their emotions and maybe feel a little tender and sore. But that's what makes them women and there are a few things that can make things a little better.
Get Comfy
Try to avoid restrictive clothing during this week; they will only make you feel uncomfortable. Wear your comfy sweats and cushy socks at home and if you have to be out and about, try wearing clothes you feel comfortable in.
ALWAYS Ultra Normal sanitary towels offer up to 100% leakage protection to help you feel protected throughout the day.
No matter what twists and turns your day may take, ALWAYS Soft like COTTON Panty liners Large Fresh Scent provide you with flexibility and softness you can count on
This area allows consumers like you to express their own opinions and comments. ALWAYS does not represent or warrant the accuracy of any statements or product claims made here, nor endorses any opinions expressed within this section.
These pads are a godsend, they actually make periods so much more bearable. Firstly the comfort of these pads are made possible by material used. The material is light and airy. The pad is also incredibly comfortable (no chaffing encountered unlike the main range). Secondly the longer length is the perfect length to prevent any leakages. My only wish is that this could be stocked regularly as this length and range are proving to be really hard to find.
Recommended Product
I love these pads but only have one fault about them. I bleed really badly so I wish you guys would make them like the other night time pads 60 per
cent bigger at the back. Then they be ideal for me. As the other night time ones
are excellent for me. But not as soft and as comfortable as these night ones. It would be just lovely if these ones had the 60 per cent bigger back.Then I buy them all the time
as they are lovely and soft to wear. Not like the other night time ones with 60 per cent bigger back that I have to buy. Which are good but not as soft. But do as good a job but I like them more if they were as soft. Please make these with a big back as well.
While I don't have sensitive skin, using ordinary sanitary pads can (almost) literally start to burn me after about 3 days. I picked these up accidentally at the store and I am definitely glad I did.
I can't feel it when I wear it, and often end up forgetting it's that time of the month (minus the occasional cramp, of course), and I've been able to go through even heavier weeks without the itching and burns I've had to deal with before.
Another awesome upside is that because it's so light, it doesn't start getting uncomfortable between changes.
I'll definitely be picking these up again.

Penwith Film Society
Welcome to Penwith Film Society, showing the best new and classic cinema from around the world to audiences in West Cornwall.
For the first time, as well as current releases, we are screening mini-season of masterpieces of European cinema. These classic films have been chosen for their individual brilliance, but they also share thematic resonances: the relationship between personal and social identity; different forms of belonging; the chaos of social and individual madness and resultant games of power. They also show a rich diversity of form and feeling: terrifying, tender, sexy, hilarious, poignant.
Next up...
Part one of Kieslowski's meditation on the three colours of the French Tricolor, Three Colours: Blue follows Julie (Juliette Binoche) as she finds freedom following the death of her husband and daughter. One of the profoundest cinematic examinations of grief, Blue focuses on the transformations from despair and denial through anger to eventual acceptance. Binoche's sullen, withdrawn and frequently wordless performances is a masterclass in screen acting, captured wonderfully by Slawomir Idziak's luminous cinematography.
Films marked * are also showing in Newlyn Filmhouse's main programme.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/158,862 filed Feb. 22, 1988, now abandoned which is a division of application Ser. No. 07/078,407 filed Jul. 27, 1987, now abandoned.
This invention concerns the transportation of a patient between an ambulance and a hospital emergency room, or other place of treatment.
At the scene of an accident or medical emergency, there are usually police or others available to assist an ambulance crew in loading the patient into the ambulance. The patient is placed on a litter, which is carried to the ambulance by several persons. But when the ambulance arrives at the hospital, it is not always easy to transport the patient. The hospital staff may be engaged with other emergencies. At night, or on holidays or weekends, there may not be personnel available to help to unload the patient. Thus, the ambulance crew, which may consist of only a driver and a first-aid person, must struggle to unload the patient, without assistance. The litter must be pulled out of the ambulance with one person on each side supporting the weight of the litter, and then lowered to the ground. Then, the litter must somehow be transported to the emergency room, or to another device which carries the patient to the emergency room. Typically, the ambulance crew leaves the patient on a litter, with the litter locked in its raised position.
The procedure described above is fraught with problems. Many times, a member of the ambulance crew drops his or her side of the litter. The litter may also tip over for other reasons. Sometimes, the locking mechanism on the litter breaks, causing the waiting patient to fall. All of these occurrences can cause serious harm to an already injured or sick person.
The present invention solves the above-described problems by providing a litter carrier which can be used to transfer a litter from an ambulance to a hospital emergency room. The litter carrier of the present invention is intended to remain at the hospital at all times, and therefore can be built to be strong and rigid, unlike the ambulance litter. The carrier can be used by one person working alone, and thereby conserves valuable hospital resources. Use of the carrier speeds the loading and unloading of patients, and thus saves precious time in emergency situations.
The present invention is a litter carrier which enables an ambulance crew to transport a patient quickly from the ambulance to an emergency room of a hospital. In its preferred embodiment, the invention includes a frame and a platform, the platform being pivotably mounted to the frame. As the platform is moved around its pivot points, it becomes raised or lowered relative to the level of the frame. The platform is connected to a locking means which holds the platform in a desired vertical position.
The platform preferably includes a pair of channels which guide the feet or wheels of the ambulance litter. Thus, when the platform is raised to the level of the floor of the ambulance, and the carrier is moved to the vicinity of the ambulance, the litter can be slid or rolled out of the ambulance and onto the platform, the litter being guided by the channels. The platform may also include strap means, or their equivalent, for securing the litter to the platform.
The carrier also includes at least one shock absorber for cushioning the downward movement of the platform. The carrier is preferably mounted on wheels or casters, or their equivalent, so that it can be easily moved, after the ambulance litter has been attached.
It is therefore an object of the invention to make it easy to carry a patient between an ambulance and a hospital emergency room.
It is another object of the invention to provide a litter carrier which can be operated by a very small crew.
It is another object to reduce the risk of injury to a patient, while the patient is being transported from an ambulance to an emergency room.
It is another object to reduce the amount of lifting which must be done by an ambulance crew.
It is another object to reduce the time required to load or unload a patient from an ambulance.
It is another object to provide a secure and safe means of transporting a patient between an ambulance and an emergency room, or other location.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent to those skilled in the art, from a reading of the following brief description of the drawings, the detailed description of the invention, and the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a partially-fragmentary view, in side elevation, showing the use of the litter carrier of the present invention, the figure showing the litter being moved from the ambulance onto the carrier.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the litter carrier of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the litter carrier, taken from a direction similar to that of FIG. 4, showing the litter carrier in its lowered position, and also showing the litter in phantom.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view, taken along the line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a detail showing an alternative embodiment which can be used with an ambulance having a sill or other obstruction in its floor.
The structure of the litter carrier of the present invention is shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2. Litter carrier 1 includes frame 3 and platform 5, secured to the frame by posts 7. The posts engage pivot bars 9, and are freely pivotable around these bars. Shock absorbers 11 are connected to support bars 13 and 15. The shock absorbers cushion the movement of the platform as it is lowered. Stiffeners 8 are mounted to the posts, to provide rigidity. The stiffeners tend to prevent bending and twisting of the platform.
Mounted on platform 5 are channels 17. The channels are generally rectangular, and are open at one end and closed at the other. The open ends of the channels extend beyond the end of the platform, so that the ends of the channels can be placed at or near the level of the ambulance floor, to enable the litter to slide easily onto the platform. The width and spacing of the channels are chosen so that the wheels or feet of the litter will fit within the channels, and so that the litter will be secure on the platform. Fastening means 19 provide additional security. In the preferred embodiment, the fastening means include a plurality of flexible straps attached to rigid caps which can engage the litter. However, the fastening means can take many other forms, and can also be omitted entirely.
The channels are shown with tapered ends. The tapered ends are provided primarily for the sake of appearance, and to eliminate sharp edges. However, the ends of the channels could also be square.
Adjustment member 21 is mounted to platform 5 by brackets 23, and includes a notched portion which engages plate 25. Adjustment member terminates in handle portion 27. The adjustment member maintains the platform in the desired vertical position. Before the platform can be moved again, the adjustment member must be disengaged from the plate by pivoting it around its brackets.
The litter carrier is mounted on casters 29, or their equivalents, to make it possible for one person to move the carrier with the litter attached.
FIG. 1 shows the use of the litter carrier of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a partially-fragmentary side elevational view, showing ambulance 31, litter 33, and patient 35. The litter includes a cot portion 37, cot supports 39, and wheels 41. The litter can thus move laterally, as shown by arrows 43. The wheels can be replaced by other equivalent structures, or by stationary feet, in which case the litter is moved by sliding instead of rolling. What is important is that the wheels or feet fit within the channels of the platform.
FIG. 3, is a cross-sectional view, similar to that of FIG. 4, showing the litter carrier in its lowered position, and also showing the litter in phantom. FIG. 3, shows the transverse members of the platform, designated by reference numerals 47 and 49, and also visible in FIG. 2. When the litter carrier is in the fully lowered position, transverse member 49 rests upon frame 3, and transverse member 47 abuts stiffener 8 of the post 7 at the opposite side of the carrier. Transverse member 47 has a trapezoidal cross-section to provide the necessary clearance upon lowering of the platform.
FIG. 3, also clearly shows adjustment member 21, which, when the platform is fully lowered, no longer engages plate 25. Notches 45 in the adjustment member are visible in this figure. The figure also shows the fastening means attached to base support member 51 of litter 33.
FIG. 4, a cross-sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 2, shows the carrier from the same general direction as that of FIG. 3, with the litter carrier in the raised position. FIG. 4 also shows transverse members 47 and 49 of platform 5, and illustrates posts 7 in the vertical position.
The pivoting motion of the posts causes channels 17 to move horizontally, towards and away from the ambulance. That is, when the platform is fully lowered, as shown in FIG. 3, the channels substantially coincide with the length of the frame. But when the platform is raised, the channels extend beyond the frame, as shown in FIG. 4. Thus, the platform moves towards and away from the ambulance while the frame of the carrier remains stationary.
FIG. 5 shows an alternative construction of the channels, which is used where the ambulance floor has a sill, or similar obstruction, which interferes with the movement of the litter onto the carrier. FIG. 5 depicts a fragment of ambulance 59, whose floor 61 includes sill 57. In this case, channel 53 is constructed with a ramped portion 55 which by-passes the sill and provides an unobstructed path for the litter.
It is also possible to provide one or more hooks (not shown), at the end of the channels, for grasping a mating socket (not shown) on the ambulance. Such an arrangement can hold the carrier in place while the patient is being transferred. The hooks are not absolutely necessary, however, and other means of stabilizing the carrier (such as brakes, etc.) may be used.
In operation, the litter carrier is rolled to the opened ambulance, and the platform is raised to the level of the ambulance floor. The platform can be raised by simply placing a foot on the frame to hold it in place, and by pushing the platform towards the rear (i.e. towards the ambulance), while lifting the platform until an appropriate notch has engaged the plate. The platform is lifted to the position which most narly makes the bottom of the channels level with the ambulance floor.
The litter is then pushed or rolled onto the platform, within the channels. The fastening means, if present, are fastened around the litter to prevent it from falling from the carrier. The adjustment member is released from the latched position, and with a slight push on the platform, the platform moves downward, its motion being cushioned by the shock absorbers. The carrier is then rolled to another location, generally within the hospital. The litter will then be low enough for the patient to be transferred easily to a hospital gurney or operating table, or the like. The process can be reversed if it is necessary to transfer a patient from the hospital to the ambulance.
The present invention thus eliminates the need to lift a patient and litter into and out of an ambulance. The only lifting of the patient occurs outside of the ambulance, i.e. in transferring the patient from the litter to the hospital gurney. However, the latter task is relatively easy, because, with the present invention, the level of the litter and the gurney can be substantially equalized before the patient is lifted.
The present invention improves the safety of the patient, because it does not strain the ambulance litter. Ambulance litters are inherently flimsy and unsafe. They must be designed to be light in weight so that they can be lifted with a patient, and so that they can fit into narrow spaces in the field. But the lightness is a disadvantage when the litter is the vehicle which moves the patient. Moreover, the the ratio of the wheelbase to the height of most ambulance litters is not sufficient to assure stability in any extended position. In short, the litter is "top heavy" when carrying a patient.
The litter carrier of the present invention, by contrast, is built more solidly than any known ambulance litter. A heavy construction is practical because the carrier stays at the hospital at all times, and is used only to transport patients between the ambulance and the hospital. The carrier can therefore be made sufficiently wide to assure stability, and can be constructed of heavy materials. Unlike the case with ambulance litters, there is very little danger of structural failure of the carrier of the present invention. Moreover, since the unit remains at the hospital, it is not subject to damage due to vibration associated with transportation in a vehicle.
The present invention has the additional advantage that it can be operated by untrained personnel. The invention makes it very unlikely that a patient will be accidentally dropped while being removed from the ambulance. Also, the unit can be operated by a very small crew, even by one person working alone.
Because of the above-described structural advantages, the present invention also reduces the time needed to unload a patient from an ambulance. There are many occasions when the few minutes saved in this manner could make the difference between life and death.
While the imvention has been described with respect to a particular embodiment, it is understood that the invention can be modified in many ways. For example, it is possible to use different means of moving the litter and/or carrier. The particular shape and structure of the frame and platform could be changed. The configuration of the shock absorbers and the adjustment member could also be varied. Also, the invention is not limited to use in transporting a patient between an ambulance and an emergency room, but can be used in any context wherein a patient must be transferred from one cot or table to another. These and other similar modifications should be deemed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Inside the Intoxicated Mind; or A Straight Guy on Gay MarriagePosted by Prince Gomolvilas
AARON: Prince, very passionate letter. I reply to u slightly intoxicated while on the subway. First, let me say that you should point out how interracial marriage was illegal not that long ago. Second, I should say how I think marriage should not be regulated by the government.... That is not what governments are for. In my opinion, marriage should be licensed by religious figures, not gov't officials. Or not licensed at all. Well, my stop on the train is here. That is my tirade for now.
PRINCE: Aaron, I like it when you are slightly drunk. I don't think I've ever seen you when you are slightly drunk. Perhaps at a future wedding I will see you slightly drunk or maybe even hammered!
AARON: Fucking crazy that it was 1967 when interracial marriage was legalized. And 1964 when segregation was struck down. Not sure when you were born, but I was born in 1975 and my pop was born in 1948, so that means that in his lifetime my marriage was illegal and that frightens me. [Note: Aaron is married to a lovely black woman.] Perhaps I will get to be completely shit-faced drunk at a wedding near you one day. However, there is nothing like the drunkenness of free wine at a photo opening. Hell, I think I am still drunk. Good thing I did not drive tonight--only rode a bike. BTW, how are you and Loren doing? How is life in L.A.? I really hope you guys get the right to do whatever the hell you want to do soon. This whole thing seems insane. How can the Republicans be the party that wants to take the government out of everything, apart from wars in other countries, women's bodies, and gay marriage? It makes no sense. They are supposed to be the party of less government, not more. Oh, well, what can we do but vote and pray to...that all said, see if you can follow this one. [Note: The names have been changed to initials for reason's of privacy.] My brother is getting married soon (November 2nd). OK, now it gets weird. Our uncle D.'s wife is P., P.'s sister is J., J.'s husband is S., S.'s grandmother is my fiance's grandmother's sister. OK, so there is no blood relation, but still creepy, right? Hell, his fiance (A.) met her cousin at my cousin's Bat Mitzvah last weekend. That should be good fodder for a play for you, right? Oh, and did I mention that the wedding is in Georgia and the related family is from Memphis, Tenn.? So, that's legal, but...well, hell, it makes no damn sense to me anymore. I say make marriage illegal! No, wait, I make too much money shooting weddings, so legalize all marriages--I will shoot anything ;-) But Republicans should not be allowed to reproduce. Did I mention that A.'s parents are Republicans? My whole family is Democrats, and we are not allowed to talk politics at the wedding 2 days before the election. Shit, that is strong wine. My last drink was at 9PM, it's 3 hours later, and I am still buzzed. All right, I think I have vomited enough into the keyboard with my fingers for one night. Sorry to take you on this roller coaster ride of oddities. We should Photoshop a photo of your Arnie kissing our Mike Bloomberg. It would be funny.
PRINCE: Aaron, this e-mail was funny, informative, political, crazy, harrowing, epic, and you probably couldn't have written it sober. God bless alcohol. Damn, this was a good read.
AARON: Ahh, sober now, geez, bad wine is a killer.
[Final Note: Honestly, that whole section about his family? I've read it five times, and I still don't know what the hell he's talking about.]

you have to be southern to understand the family dynamics...ReplyDelete
i had no problem following it...
This was fantastic. Is Aaron just magically clear in typing correctly while drunk as well?ReplyDelete
I am typing, you are all sleeping.ReplyDelete
I was reading this blog http://culturepress.wordpress.com/ about Prop 8, and the author was making the same point in the comments about inter-racial marriages previously being viewed as second class, if not illegal. And this was only turned around in quite recent history. We're trying to advance society, not throw it back a few hundred years. Keep going, Prince and friends!
(Great conversation you guys just had)
Yeah, I have to keep liquoring up my friends so I can have good blog posts!ReplyDelete
You gotta diagramm it. That's the only way. But I still don't see what it has to do with his brother's wedding. I think that was to trick us.ReplyDelete
Eliska, straight people are always trying to trick me. (Or is it the other way around?)ReplyDelete

The problem is that despite character development options, the bulk of actual play just isn't enjoyable, thanks in equal part to combat mechanics and technical troubles. Whether you're casting spells, slinging arrows, or swinging swords, beating down monsters means clicking the heck out of anything that moves.
That's not necessarily a bad thing: simplistic gameplay can be a blast. Unfortunately, while other games concentrate on action-packed carnage, Mage Knight: Apocalypse interrupts the flow constantly with amateurish pathfinding issues that hang your companions up on the simplest of obstacles, a spastic manual camera, and enemies that seem to enjoy standing idly incorners. A few of the linear hack-and-slash missions seem like real stumpers until you realize the last wave of goons got stuck and need to be lured around an obstacle.
There's never any sense of jeopardy from the decent looking but utterly braindead bosses, and though you'll find yourself dying frequently, there's no incentive to develop strategy since your nitwit companions can't navigate, and all damage done to bosses survives your resurrection. Other irritations mount on the side, like the loot system that forces you to micromanage your backpack to the point of agony, character interjections that fill your screen with text while you're trying to fight and shops that overwhelm you with hundreds of purchase options at a time. That the storytelling is hopelessly unexciting doesn't help, either.

A survey by Telecom giant Cisco suggests that nine out of every 10 people aged below 30 have the new age phenomenon of "nomophobia", the fear of having no mobile phone. In a survey conducted on 3800 people in Australia, surveyors found nine out of 10 in the group aged under 30 were addicted to their smartphones and became anxious when their phone went missing.
Cisco chief technology officer Kevin Bloch, said, "For many under-30s, the smartphone has become an extension of themselves, from the moment they wake up until the second they fall asleep. It's happening subconsciously, and one out of five people are texting while they're driving. It just speaks to these addictive, compulsive, behaviours that we're seeing."
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, official adviser to the Queensland Government on computer safety, said that this love affair with the smartphones is both enabling and crippling at the same time. He added that these people check for texts, emails and social media at least once every 10 minutes. That's checking the phone 96 times a day, assuming eight hours' sleep.

"Internet charges on - april 2008" Saudi Arabia Favorite Tip by MirrorCrax
Saudi Arabia General: 69 reviews and 46 photos
Favorite thing: for internet charges...here's an idea..
you have the regular 56kbps phone line connection by dialing a number and paying a small amount charged to your phone bill for the amoun of time you use, i think its something like 2SR / hour or something... but its very slow
you have another option of adsl ... which has different costs depending on the speed you desire and the isp you will have your account with...generally speaking you pay for 2 things when getting dsl....you pay saudi telecom a monthly fee for adsl service 128kb is 90sr/month, 256 is 100sr/month,...etc.
and you purchase a prepaid dsl account from an isp, which varies depending on the isp, prices have dropped significantly lately and keep dropping (they're still higher than many other countries)the latest offer i'm currently using is 450sr for 256kbps duration of 3 months from saudi net, however, saudi net made an offer of doubling the duration so now i get 6 month of 256kbps for 450srso its basically 75sr now....so to sum it up ... if you get a 256 connection this i what you will pay:
1. Telephone line installation fee 300sr (sometimes there's an offer and its for free)
2. dsl service installation fee 300sr (sometimes there's an offer and its for free)
3. dsl modem ...150-800sr
the above is the setup cost regardless of the speed of connection, the folloing is the running cost:
4.saudi telecom fee (monthly)
for 128kbps .......90sr
for 256kbps..........100sr
for 512kbps ......... i'm not sue but i think its 120sr
and so on
5. ISP dsl fee - average fee for most isp's now (usually those prices are provided when you purchase a 3 months prepaid card)
for 128kbps.....40-60 sr
for 256kbps ....70-100 sr
for 512kbps .... not sure but i think 140-170sr
there is also satellite internet but i don't know the prices, all i know is that its way too expensive for me

text: Community: Forum: Travel Vegan Travel Suggestions Discussion Forum Travel Topics Watch this topic Israel Black Hebrews vegan restaurant plan Posted by Rafael at 11/08/07 My friends in Israel - from Wikipedia - The African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem - "The group maintains a vegan diet, inspired by the commandment in the book of Genesis chapter 1 verse 29. They practice abstinence from alcohol, other than wine that they make themselves, and both illegal and pharmaceutical drugs, so as to stay within the cycles of life. The group also owns and operates a chain of vegetarian restaurants throughout the country. Adult members exercise three times a week, and are advised to have at least one full-body massage each month for its health benefits." From Reuters yesterday = African Hebrews sink roots deeper into Holy Land Wed Nov 7, 2007 7:04am EST By Avida Landau DIMONA, Israel, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Four decades after they heard what they call an angel's order to leave the United States and move to Israel, a vegan community popularly known as "the Black Hebrews" is about to get its own piece of the Holy Land. Identifying themselves as African Hebrew Israelites, about 300 African-Americans arrived in 1969 in the sleepy desert town of Dimona, claiming to be descendants of the ancient Israelites and a right to settle in the Jewish state. Despite observing Jewish holidays and practices, they were never recognised as Jews by Israeli authorities, but were allowed to remain. Their legal status has been resolved, and the government granted them permanent Israeli residency. But fire services warned their homes in the small government-owned compound -- which they call the "Village of Peace" -- may be a fire hazard. So Dimona Mayor Meir Cohen and the government decided to give the community of about 3,000 Hebrews their own tract of land in the town. On their new property, they hope not only to construct more comfortable dwellings, but also to build tourist attractions such as a wellness resort, health treatment clinics and restaurants, all reflecting the community's lifestyle. "We are really excited. It gives us a chance to further expand on the things we have begun to do in this country and I think also to share those benefits on a more stable foundation with the wider community," said Prince Immanuel Ben-Yehuda, a white cloth-dressed spiritual leader of the community. HOLISTIC Members of the community, where English is the spoken language and the children wear colourful African-style robes and white headcovers, believe a completely vegan diet of locally grown fruits and vegetables, along with regular exercise and holistic health treatments, are keys to longevity and health. A medical study conducted in Dimona by U.S. university researchers in 1998 found the community was largely free of illnesses typical to African-Americans such as hypertension, obesity and high cholesterol. "We expect to have something of a resort area where visitors will come, experience the lifestyle of the community, and as a point of rest and relaxation -- an island of tranquillity -- here in Israel," Ben-Yehuda said. The community members have also made an effort to integrate into Israeli society by following the Israeli education curriculum in their school, located just outside the compound. In addition, about 100 community members now serve in the Israeli armed forces. The community also produces and markets their traditional natural-fabric robes and produce their own brand of gospel-style music, which has been performed both locally and internationally. "We have really outgrown the area where we live in today," Ben-Yehuda said. (Reporting by Avida Landau; editing by Jeffrey Heller and Sara Ledwith) Responses (0) No response yet.

What is there that I can do about having heelspurs? My ackelies tendon is detached also. I also have arthritus. I am needing to also know what is it that causes heelspurs to occur? Also, is there anything special that I can do to take away the pain because it feels like I am walking on needles or broken glass at all times.. Any input that you could give me would be greatly appriciated.. Thanks.

MaryRitzer - I am not a doctor but while you are waiting for a reponse to your questions, I will suggest what most people here and the doctors would probably suggest to you. If you look at the bottom of the page you are now reading, you will see a box with 'The Book' there. If you click on that, it will take you to the Heel Spurs book which is available to you here on this website free of charge. It has been compiled by the webmaster here based on research, experience and 'best practice' kinds of information. You will find much good and useful information there and maybe find some of the answers to your questions. I am sorry you are having pain and these problems, as most of the people at this website do now or have experienced in the past. You will find information and understanding people here, but do read 'The Book' to get started. Best wishes to you ~

South Pole construction to continue this year
Construction of a new elevated building to replace the
existing Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station will continue during the 2001-02
Antarctic research season.
Work will begin on the exteriors of wings that will house
station services, medical facilities and science labs, with the interiors being
completed during the 2002 austral winter. The station is scheduled for completion
in 2006.
Construction began during the 2000-01 season with a wing
that houses dormitory and galley facilities as well as a tower that will provide
access to the new station, which is capable of being raised hydraulically over
the years to keep it above accumulating snow and ice.
Several environmental, safety and telecommunications upgrades
at the station also were completed during the 2000-01 season. Work continued
over the austral winter on the interior of the new wing with the goal of allowing
a portion of the station's winter personnel to live in the new building next
Construction also will begin approximately eight kilometers
(4.9 miles) from the South Pole station on the South Pole Remote Earth Science
Observatory (SPRESO). Seismic data already collected at Pole is in high demand
among researchers; the new observatory at its more remote site, however, will
improve the usefulness of the data by reducing the amount of background noise
from the station.

Wireless Triggers for A99 without adapter yet?
Feb 21, 2014
Has anyone released wireless triggers for the A99 that uses the 'new' standard yet non-standard mount yet?
Last I knew Phottix and Pixel both had triggers that could be used 'with' adapters, but wondering if anyone has a solution with no adapters.

Eight fresh boys illuminate Sporty & Greedy as these horny gym trainers and their obedient disciples engage in six bareback fucks and six oral initiations!These Hispanic papi's want to get buff and so they have their friends help them out in the gym lifting weight, spotting them and showing them the proper form for lifting free-weights. But that's not the only thing that's going on. They also have thick cocks that need a work-out as well, and they make sure their twink friends work-out their jaws on it until they blow a thick load down their throat. This is 140m of hot twink action!Format: mp4Duration: 2:19:15Video: 720x576, MP4V, 2177kbpsAudio: 125kbps
