Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
Tim MurphyAug. 2, 2010 9:10 AM
Ferriday, Louisiana—Ever since we jettisoned our trebuchet somewhere outside Murfreesboro, we've been traveling a little light in the way of high-powered weaponry. If pressed, our first line of defense would probably be a bag of fried pig skins (impulse buy), but even at their most potent, those would take a few decades to kill you. We're toast, basically—as strangers we've met have been quick to point. Here's some sage advice we received—entirely unsolicited—from the two employees of a one-room diner in Natchez, the first a thirtysomething male named (I think) Marsaw, and the second a woman a few decades his senior.
"You're going through Texas!," says Marsaw. "What kinda gun you got?"
"Just our fists."
"You mean you're not carrying a gun?" Marsaw's incredulous.
"We like to think we're pretty intimidating people."
The woman laughs, which I'll just assume is her defense mechanism. We get that a lot.
"My dad always said, 'Always have a flashlight and a gun wherever you go,'" says Marsaw. "'That way if you need to stop and fight you won't get shot in the back.' You can pull out the .22. Protect yourself."
The flashlight seems kind of superfluous in that scenario, but okay.
The woman jumps in: "Well you can just use the tire iron [she makes a violent thwacking gesture]. You know, it's legal to put the tire iron in the glove compartment in Mississippi, from the trunk. You can just do that."
"Well they should get the .22, too."
"Yeah, but if they don't have a .22 they gotta use the tire iron."
"Yeah, .22 and a tire iron."
Done and done. Of course, if you buy a .22, you'll probably want a concealed-carry permit to go with it. Utah, anyone?

A new split over climate policy is brewing within the ranks of the US Chamber of Commerce as a breakaway group of local chambers is getting ready to publicly split with the business lobby's hardline stance against climate legislation. The new climate coalition, known as the Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE), will press Congress to take stronger action on climate and energy issues. It has already signed up about a dozen chambers and will officially launch later this year.
The US Chamber is already working behind the scenes to discredit the new group. After it caught wind of the effort last month, it fired off a letter to local chamber leaders, discouraging them from joining CICE, which it claimed was "established by the Natural Resources Defense Council." The letter, written by US Chamber board member Winthrop Hallett, the president of Alabama's Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, states that the new group's "indirect purpose appears to be undermining the U.S. Chamber's and the business community's leadership on" climate issues.
The claim that CICE is little more than a front group for the NRDC is "outrageous" and "really just pissed me off," says Steve Falk, the president of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, which has been organizing the independent climate coalition. Hallett's letter, which has not been posted publicly but which Mother Jones has seen, does not explain the alleged connection between CICE and the NRDC. Hallett and a spokesman for the US Chamber did not respond to requests for comment.

You've heard songs from hip hop artists who sample other musical genres: From the unfortunate evolution of rap metal (think Papa Roach) to Danger Mouse's controversial and crafty mashup of Jay-Z and The Beatles, the practice of intertwining multiple musical roots is widespread in hip hop. You may have also heard bands who reappropriate rap tracks and perform them in their own genres, like The Gourds' popular country version of Snoop Dog's "Gin and Juice." Then there's the surprising collage of hip hop and bluegrass music: Gangstagrass, an experiment that proves, at least to me, that hillbillies and emcees can get along swimmingly.

As a runner, I always considered sports drinks a necessary evil: While I never loved the taste, I held my nose and downed my Gatorade for the sake of proper hydration. But last year, a friend handed me a little box of coconut water, which, she told me, had just as many electrolytes as Gatorade. I took a sip, loved the mild taste, and found myself regularly shelling out as much as $3 for 11 oz. of the stuff. That is, until it disappeared from my local supermarket earlier this summer.
Turns out I'm not the only one with a new coconut water addiction. Although the beverage has been popular for centuries in countries where coconuts grow, it has only recently been marketed in the US. Vita Coco, currently the country's biggest coconut water company, was founded in 2004, and according to spokesperson Arthur Gallego, sales skyrocketed from $4 million in 2007 to $20 million in 2009. The past 6 months have been Vita Coco's busiest yet. "Typically Vita Coco would keep 45 days of inventory, but that has all been blown through," says Gallego. "People used to buy by the unit, now they are buying in bulk by the box."

Shorter Paul Krugman: Within a couple of years we'll have combined the worst aspects of America and the worst aspects of Europe into a single monumental disaster. USA! USA!
I have an epically gloomy post on this general subject all queued up in my brain and ready to go. It will never see the light of day, but it's there. For a few bits and pieces of what it's about, however, check out Ed Luce in the Financial Times this weekend. He puts together several of the pieces.
The only good news I can think of is that if the French could revolt in 1789, maybe we can too — minus the guillotines and invasions of Russia, I hope. Maybe.
Kevin DrumAug. 1, 2010 4:26 PM
In the New Yorker this week, Atul Gawande writes about how badly we manage end-of-life medical treatment. Toward the end of his piece he mentions a study Aetna did with hospice care. In one study, Aetna allowed people to sign up for home hospice services without giving up any of their other treatments. Result: lots of people signed up for hospice care and ended up consuming less traditional care. In the second study, more traditional rules applied: if you signed up for home hospice care you had to give up on traditional curative treatments. Result: pretty much the same.
What was going on here? The program's leaders had the impression that they had simply given patients someone experienced and knowledgeable to talk to about their daily needs. And somehow that was enough — just talking.
The explanation strains credibility, but evidence for it has grown in recent years.

I guess maybe I'm just weird, but this explanation doesn't seem to strain credibility in the least. It's exactly what I'd expect. Obviously there are lots of different people in the world and they have lots of different dispositions, but I'd guess that there's a huge chunk of them who are basically just scared when the end comes and mostly want to understand what's happening. Having someone take the time to explain — to really explain, so that they really understand — probably goes a hell of a long way toward making them feel better. And once they understand that what they're feeling is, under the circumstances, fairly normal, a trip to the ICU doesn't really look so inviting anymore. What's so hard to believe about that?
Monika Bauerlein and Clara JefferyAug. 1, 2010 4:04 AM
As we enjoy a summer weekend with friends and family, it bears remembering that, for the families and friends of Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, and Josh Fattal, this weekend marks a milestone of misery: As of Saturday, it had been exactly one year since the three were arrested while hiking in the scenic border region between Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran. Theories differ on exactly how the arrest took place: the three may have accidentally crossed the border, or they may have been snatched while inside Iraq. (Their traveling companion, Shon Meckfessel, who stayed behind that day because he had a cold, sent us a wrenching account of the last call he got from his friends.)
This much is for sure: They were not spies for the United States, as Iran has alleged (so far without pursuing the charge in its own courts). Bauer is a talented, muckraking journalist whose most recent story for Mother Jones looked at how the US government was using construction and other contracts to pay off corrupt ex-warlords in Iraq. (He also worked with the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and New America Media.) Shourd--who became engaged to Bauer while in prison in Iran--was teaching English to Iraqi kids in Damascus, where she lived with Bauer prior to their arrest. Fattal had worked at a sustainability center in Oregon and taught overseas. All of them have been held in near-isolation (Shourd is being held by herself, while the two men share a cell), without access to the Iranian lawyer their family has hired to them or the rest of the outside world. Their only contact with their families came in May, when the mothers were allowed to visit; both Shourd and Bauer have reportedly struggled with illness while in prison.
It's no surprise that the three are being used as pawns by the Iranian government—that's a trick just about every country has used. But a year is enough, especially for three people who have committed no offense except being insufficiently paranoid in exploring a tourist region world-renowned for its beauty. Nothing good can come from their languishing behind bars, whereas once released, they would likely go back to their work for truth and human rights. We hope that day comes soon.
There are vigils and protests throughout this weekend seeking the hikers' release; you can follow the Free the Hikers campaign on Twitter and Facebook. Even President Obama has weighed in. Read his statement after the jump.

Anyway, Acapulco, we found a reasonable room in a hotel with a fan, which was necessary since the heat and humidity was up there. We didn't have time to have a really good look around since we caught an early bus the next morning, but what we saw was a beautiful bay and natural harbour. We had dinner and coronas on the water front and chatted to a few locals. I got asked if I wanted to go fishing the next day by several different punters, and Clare had street sellers hanging gold and silver necklaces in her face. We left early the next morning for the 8 hour bus ride to Puerto Escondido.

hey all
Hey not really new to the subaru world I love them but havent owned one yet I currently drive an 08 jeep wranlger and love it to death but I still need to have some fun on the road I live in saskatchewan so its a long way to anywhere lol I'm in the process of importing my first wrx and I'm looking for any info that will help me ie. things I should look for motor trans drivtrain problems anything that will help me make a decision would be much appreciated thanks
look into doing a stage1 tune on it, as the factory tune is junk.
What year and model are you getting?
not sure yet I was looking at anything older than 07 dont like the new style as much plus there alot more money thats some of the questions I was hoping to get answered which motor is best people that build these cars always have the best opinions on them I'll deffinatly be checking out the sti and maybe some wagons I like the look of them but is there any major differences in handling or power ?
Didn't realize you had to have them imported into Canada....Been through Saskatchewan back when I was about 11. Welcome to the forums and to answer your questions, the STi was the best of everything, but the WRX is still a nice performance car for the money.
It depends on what you want out of the car. The stock ej205 (in the 02-05 WRX) is a 2.0L and from 06+ the WRX got the ej255 which is a 2.5L. So the larger engine makes a bit better/more torque depending ont he use of the car. There are pros and cons to both honestly. Best of luck in your search and welcome to the forum.
I dont have to have it imported but for the price im better off it will mostly be highway driving as it is for my girlfriend but you all know how thats going to work lol theres lots of gravel around here and I fully intend on putting it through its paces as I work on the back roads. Ive seen alot more of the ej205's done up is there any reason for this and do all of the wrx/sti's have the DCCD so excited to go rip around in it
Only the STi has DCCD. The reason you see so many EJ205's being built up is the fact that what came in a majority of the cars, and most have some age on them so be on the lookout for someone wanting to unload their problem car to you..
cool so know I know sti is the way im going then. I dont mind putting some work into an older car but the guy thats importing it for me is pretty good at finding cars in japan if you want flawless he finds flawless but Im still trying to keep it on budget so its most likely going to be a little rough around the edges
Can't you just import one from the US???

Hello All,
I know there were many people viaing to adopt me, but unfortunately before my mommy could begin processing applications I crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It was so fast that everyone was surprised, the doctor, mommy and mommies coworkers at the clinic tried their very hardest to save me but it wasn't to be. They still aren't sure about what happened and writing out details here wouldn't make the pain any less for my mommy. More or less Wednesday night I was happy and bouncy, and thrusday morning I was making a B-Line for the Rainbow Bridge. Mommy kept asking me to "just wait for the Doctor baby, just in case there is a chance" So I did. As soon as the Doctor got in and listened to my heart I left. I did what I could to make it easier on Mommy and it gave her some time to say good bye to me. I feel like I lived a pretty cool life for 15 weeks, and am happy I was given the chance. By all accounts my life should have ended with in minutes of having begun because of my cleft, but it didn't, I got 15 wonderful weeks of hugs, kisses, playing with my four legged foster brothers and surrogate momma dog. I feel pretty accomplished. So thank you all to everyone that wanted to give me a forever home. It made me feel important and worth it, not like a throw away, discarded baby just because I was different.

Man critically injured in late-night shooting
A male victim was listed in critical condition Monday after a late-night shooting incident Sunday in Seaside, police said.
Officers were dispatched at 11 p.m. to the 1100 block of Noche Buena Street, where they found a man suffering from a single gunshot wound.
The victim was airlifted to a San Francisco Bay Area trauma center.
Police said the incident is believed to be gang-related, and ask anyone with information to call the Seaside Police Department at 899-6748, or the anonymous tip-line at 899-6282.
Motorist jailed after chase with deputies
APPREHENDED IN MONTEREY >> A Salinas man was booked into Monterey County Jail on Sunday after leading sheriff's deputies on a chase through Carmel Valley and Monterey.
Laurence Baisden, 34, was arrested after failing to yield when deputies attempted to stop his 1999 Honda Civic about 3 p.m. on Carmel Valley Road near Pacific Meadows Lane.
Officers pursued Baisden, who was apprehended at Van Buren Street near Seeno Street in Monterey, where he exited the vehicle and fled on foot. He was apprehended in a nearby lot.
Officers said Baisden, who was wanted by the Seaside Police Department, showed a wanton disregard for public safety during the chase by disregarding traffic lights and stop signs. He failed to negotiate turns on two occasions, striking curbs.
He was turned over to Seaside police after his arrest.
Woman allegedly wields knife at lake
ADMITS TO USING "ACID" >> A Bradley woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly wielding a large kitchen knife at people, park rangers and sheriff's deputies at Lake San Antonio.
Officers were dispatched to the location about 6:30 p.m. after receiving a report that a female under the influence was threatening people with a knife.
Deputies and park security staff located the woman, whom they say charged them with the knife.
She was Tasered, disarmed and arrested, and later admitted to officers that she was under the influence of "acid."
Man robs motorist, steals his vehicle
VICTIM EATING IN CAR >> Salinas police are looking for a man who robbed a motorist and stole the vehicle he was sitting in on Sunday in a restaurant parking lot.
Investigators said the victim was eating dinner in his 2000 Honda 4-door — beige, with yellow "Amigo Auto Sales" paper tags — when he was approached at about 9:30 p.m. by a man who flashed a semi-automatic handgun, demanded his wallet and ordered him out of his car.
The suspect then drove off in the victim's car.
The suspect is described as 5-foot-6, 150 pounds, wearing black clothing, gloves, and a ski mask.
The victim was not injured.

With shares of Verizon (NYSE:VZ) trading around $49, is VZ an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Verizon is a provider of communications, information, and entertainment products and services to consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies. It operates in two primary segments: Verizon Communications and Wireline. Verizon Communications' products and services include wireless voice, data services, and equipment sales, which are provided to consumer, business, and government customers across the United States. Wireline's products and services include voice, Internet access, broadband video and data, Internet protocol network services, network access, long distance, and other services.
Another shot has been fired in the ongoing battle between Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Verizon. After a Netflix image of the company blaming Verizon for poor service quality went viral after being posted on Twitter by Vox Media designer Yuri Victo, the wireless and Internet services firm responded by sending Netflix a notice of the "Cease and Desist" variety. So if Netflix continues those anti-Verizon messages, it may get sued. A Verizon spokesperson also referred to the message as "a PR stunt" in a conversation with CNET. Verizon's letter details that the user experience is Netflix's responsibility. Indeed, in the first instance, responsibility for its customers' experience falls squarely on Netflix itself.


text: New Zealand sunset-dream group Yumi Zouma kind of popped up out of nowhere last week with the release of their insta-fave single, The Brae. And they're keeping that momentum going with Sålka Gets Her Hopes Up. It's somehow even more whisper-smooth than The Brae, but the synths are slightly more shaken, less stirred. It might make you wanna take up ribbon dancing. Both tracks come off the band's self-titled EP, out February 11 via Cascine. Listen in below.

When you think of speakers, if you think of them at all, you probably think of something black, boxy and not terribly big on style. There are exceptions, of course, and People People's cool transparent speaker, launching on Kickstarter today, is one of them.
The speaker's mostly transparent enclosure is tempered glass and aluminum, making it a cool audio addition to your home. It blends seamlessly and unobtrusively with your decor, a very slick effect indeed, and perfect for someone who wants to add some boom to their room without clunky cubes dissing their design aesthetic.
"We're trying to make a timeless design in a way," designer and founder Per Brickstad said. "We're simplifying it so much, taking away anything unnecessary. We're emphasizing what we think is really important, which is people's music."
The speakers feature dual 3-inch full-range drivers and a 6.5-inch woofer, and they can handle 80 to 100 watts — enough to fill Wired's spacious lunchroom with surprisingly robust sound even at low levels. The speakers also provide bass, treble and volume controls so you can tweak the sound to suit your taste.
In back, it's got a "toaster slot" where you can slide in an Airport Express (not included) to control the speaker via WiFi with Apple's AirPlay. Brickstad said he wanted to develop a product that will last a long time, so most of its components are recyclable and modular, which means you can replace any parts that break or become obsolete.
All this comes at a price though: An early-bird kit version of the speaker, which you'll have to assemble yourself, starts at $360, while the full, assembled version starts at $460.
You can support People People on Kickstarter or pre-order yourself a speaker here.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

The Jabez Smith House
A Colonial Farmhouse
The Jabez Smith House is an excellent example of 18th century domestic architecture. The one and one-half story, gable-roof structure with central brick chimney has remained virtually unchanged since c. 1783, when it was built by Jabez Smith. Deeded to the Town of Groton in 1974, the house was occupied by descendants until 1980. Historically, the house is significant because it is on the site of one of Groton's earliest settlements. Authentic 18th and 19th-century antiques are on display

Vicki Matchett, originally from New Zealand, first developed her love of food when she was about seven as she knelt on a stool to make sandwiches for the canteen where her grandmother was an industrial caterer. Being educated at Woodford House, Hawkes Bay, gave her a taste of rural life and, upon leaving school, Vicki studied agriculture. From there she traveled extensively throughout Europe and Africa.
Returning to Auckland, Vicki completed the Cordon Bleu Cookery Certificate and was then accepted into Auckland Technical Institute to study for the City and Guilds Chefs Certificate. Upon completion, Vicki moved to Australia and worked in various establishments before running her own restaurant: Rapps BYO in Adelaide.
Upon realizing that Adelaideans have spacious properties and love to entertain at home, they came up with a formula to fill a huge gap in the market - exotic takeouts ("Queen of Tarts").
Vicki has had a high profile involvement in the development of food networks in South Australia and was a founding member of the Flavour SA. In 2000, Vicki completed the Governor's Leadership Foundation Scholarship. She is currently a member of the Fleurieu Food Group.
Vicki is more of a self sufficient "Yippie Gourmet Farmer" these days. She organically grows her own beef, lamb, yabbies, fruit and vegetables on her magnificent 31 acre property near Middleton, South Australia.
Vicki has built an industrial kitchen overlooking the Scott Creek Conservation Park from which she draws much inspiration to develop and produce exciting products.

16 year-old Jeanie and her 18 year-old cousin, Jack begin a torrid sexual relationship at Jack's house...
Jean was just 18 years-old when it happened. She was staying with her cousin, 19 year-old Jack. Jack and Jean's parents were out one hot summer day and Jean was in the bathroom, relieving herself, when Jack walked in.
'Oh, there you are Jeanie,' he said with a sly smile.
Jean felt embarrassed sitting there with her little red skirt pulled up around her waist and her white panties down around her ankles. 'What do you want Jack Get out. Can't you see I'm peeing'
'Yeah I can see what you are doing,' Jack said, closing the door and locking it behind him. He pulled his T-shirt off over his head and threw it down. Jean looked up at him, afraid now. 'What do you want Jack I'll scream if you come nearer!' Jack smiled and unfastened his jeans. As he pulled them off, he said, 'I want you. I'm gonna have you either easy, or hard, it's up to you, Jeanie.' He advanced on her, pulling down his white underpants and discarding them in the bath. His thick cock stood up against his belly and his balls bounced around as he walked up to his cousin.
'You are crazy, Jack. I'm twelve, you asshole!' Jean cried out. She got up and tried to hitch her panties up again. Jack gripped her wrist and ripped the panties off her and forced her to step out of them. Then he yanked her little red dress up over her head along with the white vest Jean wore under it. She was crying now. Jack didn't care. He sat on the WC and pulled her naked body to him. 'Ever kissed a boy' Jack asked as he smoothed back Jean's long black hair from her tear-stained face. She liked kissing and she stopped crying after Jack asked her. 'Yeah...I guess I do,' she said, 'a boy at my school likes me and I've kissed him, like...tons of times.' Jack smiled, his cock twitched in his fist.
'Tongue and all' he asked.
Jean nodded.
'Knew it,' Jack said, stroking Jean's little budding titties, their tips pink and hard.
Knew what' Jean asked.
'That you are a little slut,' Jack said.
'I'm not, I'm not!' she protested. Her cute angry face only excited Jack all the more.
'Well, I'm gonna make you into a slut, so there,' Jack said with a smile.
'You gonna rape me' Jean asked.
'Not if you do what I want,' Jack said.
'Okay, okay. What do you want me to do' Jean said.
'Play with this,' he said looking down at his cock.
Jean reached out and hesitated.
'Go on, touch it, you'll like it,' Jack said.
He smiled. She'd always liked her tall handsome cousin and had secretly desired him in a warm wet way that she didn't fully understand. Her belly was hot. She felt a compulsion to touch Jack's hard young cock and bend over for it, but she was afraid of being found out by her parents who were both strict Catholics.
'I'm scared,' Jean said. 'Our Mom's and dad's would kill us if they knew what we are doing, Jack.'
'Don't worry, that makes it more cool and horny,' Jack said, 'it'll be our little secret, Jeanie...I promise. Now play with my dick.'
Jean's hand went around Jack's cock and she held it. She was barely able to grip it in her slim little fingers. The warmth and the hardness of it excited her, the way the little blue veins showed through on the shaft and the way Jack's plump downy balls rose and fell as she stroked it. They pulsated when she moved her fingers up and down its length. She felt compelled to hold them in the the palm of her hand and Jack groaned and made a funny face as she did it, sucking in air through his teeth and closing his eyes. He looked weird, almost ill, Jean thought. 'All that excitement just from my little hands,' she said to herself. The dormant power of her sexuality was beginning to become clear to her now. All those feelings, those longings in her belly, were starting to make sense. She relaxed and sat down on his thigh and he stroked her pussy, exciting the heat down there even more.
'It feels strange doing this,' Jean said, looking him in the eyes.
Jack found Jean overwhelmingly sexy and he held her tight and kissed her. His tongue forked between her lips and she fumbled to respond. 'Easy,' Jack whispered, 'follow me with your tongue. Put it out, yeah, yeah,...that's it.' He sucked on the little pink thing and Jean moaned girlishly. Their mouths locked and Jean felt the tip of her tongue press naturally against Jack's. He held her tighter and his fingers went between her legs into her little black bush of a slit. It was wet there, very wet. Jack's fingers made a sloshing sound as they went in and out.
'Oh, that's so nice,' Jean groaned and she let Jack's fingers go in deeper.
'You still a virgin' he asked.
'No, I had sex with a boy at school, but don't rat me out Jack, please.' Jean said.
'Mm, I won't. Quite a nasty little girl, aren't you' he joked.
'It wasn't very good and it hurt a lot,' Jean said, wanking Jack's cock slowly up and down in her fist.
'I bet it did,' Jack laughed. 'Now get on your knees in front of me.'
Jean felt powerless to refuse and she knelt before her cousin. He guided her mouth to his cock. 'Ever sucked a dick' he asked. Jean shook her pretty little head. 'Want to suck mine' Jean nodded. 'Okay,' Jack said, and introduced the glans of his cock to Jean's cute pink mouth. It slid in and filled her throat and she thought she'd choke when Jack pushed her head at the back. She coughed. Jack pulled his dick out, with silvery mucus trailing from Jean's lips. He looked down at her and thrust back in again and yanked her head up and down his shaft by bunching her hair at the back, face fucking her, violently. In moments, Jean heard Jack grunt and then felt her mouth fill with salty-sweet slime. Jack said in a crazy panting voice, 'Uh fuck, fuck, you've made me cum! Swallow Jeanie, swallow my spunk!' Jean gulped and gulped as Jack yelled and forced her head down until he'd finished using her mouth as a condom. After Jack had pushed her away and he sat there stroking his still leaking dick in his fist, Jean got up and shouted 'Ugh, that was gross!' and she got up and spat what remained of his sticky slime into the sink, furiously cleaning her teeth afterwards. Jack sat back, breathing hard, on the WC and laughed his head off.
Jean scowled at him in the mirror...
That night, very late, Jack snuck into Jean's bedroom across the hallway from his. He was naked under his robe and Jean groaned awake as she felt him climb into bed beside her. 'What are you doing in here Jack' Jean whispered as Jack's hands roamed all over her little naked back and ass. She turned and said, 'We'll be caught, you jerk!' She was excited though, Jack could feel her heat and he was determined to feed it. 'Ssh,' he whispered and kissed her. She returned his kiss, bolder this time, more confident. 'Mm, that's better, you are a horny little bitch,' Jack said after the kiss, stroking her little apple-bud breasts in his fingers.
'Open your legs for me,' Jack said.
Jean felt in the grip of a strange new exciting power and she parted her thighs and lay there as Jack fell on her and fumbled his erection into her little hairless pussy. She was wet again and Jack's cock went in and lodged about halfway inside her. He felt huge, like a fat sausage was stuffed up her insides. Jack was much bigger than the boy, her own age, who'd fucked her six months ago. Jack felt like a real man inside her, or what she imagined one would feel like.
'Ow!' she grimaced when Jack forced his dick right in.
He ignored her cries and started to pound in and out of her cunt like a machine. His thighs slapped against hers under the flimsy cotton sheet. She moaned in a sexy way and held Jack around his waist. 'Mm...Mm..Mmmm,' she went as he fucked her. He put her small hands on his ass and they kissed as he screwed her harder and harder, waves of pleasure building in both of them. Jean felt the stirring of previously unknown feelings and she locked her ankles around Jack's backside as he pounded her little wet cunt.
'Oh fuck! I'm gonna shoot my load,' Jack grunted in her ear.
'Pull out Jack, please pull out, pull out....' she pleaded.
It was too late, nature had taken over. Jack's fuck rhythm quickened and Jean felt his warm slime squirt out and fill her sore little snatch. He grunted a couple of times and stabbed his cock deep into her until he was emptied. Then he rolled off and fell back, panting and sweating in the hot summer night. Jean laid there, her mind a whirl of new emotions, but she felt empty, somehow unfulfilled. She felt confused and slightly afraid that she might get pregnant. Oh my God, she thought, what would I do if I was Her mind raced with images of her being carted off by the police and sent to a home for BAD GIRLS. She got up and went to the bathroom, leaking semen down her thighs, and washed her cunt out with cold water, sloshing Jack's pearly slime down the sink. When she came back, Jack was gone back to his own room. Jean felt hurt. She had wanted him to stay a little longer, hold her tight, kiss her; possibly even pleasure her. She lay there for a long while teasing her fingers over her little hard clit, rising spasms of excitement coursing through her groin. She stopped when it became too much for her to be quiet and she turned over and slept...
The next afternoon when her parent's were out again, Jack seduced Jean once more. She was listening to her I-Pod when Jack came up behind her and cupped her breasts in both his hands. 'Hiya sweetness,' he said. 'Come with me.' Jean followed him upstairs to his bedroom. 'Get your clothes off,' Jack said. Jean smiled and yanked off her T-shirt and skirt. She stood in front of Jack naked and he fondled her little tits and pert ass first then let his fingers roam all over her excited skin.
'Lay down there,' Jack said.
Jean got on his bed and spread her legs. Jack joined her. He was naked now and he started to suck and lick her pussy. 'Pull on your nips,' Jack said, looking up from mouthing her cunt. Jean tweaked her little pink teats in her fingers and groaned. 'Oh, that's so nice, Jack,' she sighed as he found lots of exciting little arousal points in and around her cunt. As Jack sucked her little pink love lips and smoothed his fingers over her clitoris, Jean had her first orgasm from someone else. It was explosive. She melted into Jack's mouth, unable to control her longings. 'Oh, fuck yeah!' she screamed and screamed; her slim thighs around jack's ears. He kept sucking and licking and masturbating her little boiling cunt until she begged him to stop.
'Good orgasm, Jeanie' Jack asked after. He sat up and looked down at his pretty naked cousin.
Jean smiled and rolled over. 'Mmm...yeah, it was hot!' she told him.
Jack suddenly tapped her bare bottom and handed her a tube of KY jelly.
'Know what that is' he asked.
Jean looked at the tube and said. 'Nope, what's it for'
Jack smiled and said, 'Get on your knees and spread your ass. I'll show you...'

What I don't like about the household income statistic is that it masks the fact that real individual median income has been falling for some time now. The fact that for most families both adults work in some form makes it seem like household incomes have been steady or on the rise over the last 60 years. In actuality, the wife has gradually been taking on more of a role in the income department. First, in the 50's women generally didn't work. Then, it was odd jobs or seasonal work in the 60's. After that it was part time work. Next the woman worked full time at minimum wage or slightly better. Now, the woman is fully educated and makes damn near more than the man does. This tendency has upwardly skewed median household income in comparison to median individual income.
The point is that household income hides the fact that individuals, on a median basis, are falling behind their previous cohorts in regards to real income. The changing trend in female quality and quantity of output in the workforce over the last 40 years greatly distorts the comparison of median household income from 1970 to today!
When people compare individual household income today to 30 years ago it makes housing seem more affordable than it otherwise should be. If things got tough 30 years ago, the female could always increase her payable economic output to smooth over the rough times. Today, with both adults at their maximum income potentials, there is no room for upward mobility in home valuations due to increased income, due to more effort, from the under working spouse. Also, this tendency greatly leverages the current homebuyers. If one person is out of work, the home is gone! This makes for more risk in the housing market that the statistic "Median Household Income" cannot account for.

These two photos of Spokane River's north channel
in Riverfront Park illustrate the difference Avista's
aesthetic spills project makes. The one on the top
was taken before the project began, with river flows
at 500 cubic feet per second (CFS). The one on the

What a difference an aesthetic flows project makes.
If you compare the river during this time of year to
years past, you will notice the falls are flowing with
water. These photos were taken from Post Street
Bridge facing east towards Canada Island in River
-front Park. The top photo was taken before the
project began, with river flows at 500 cubic feet per
second (CFS). The photo at the bottom was taken
this month, with river flows at 300 CFS. Even though
there is less water flow, restoring the riverbed to
more of a natural state provides many aesthetic
and environmental benefits.
Avista's aesthetic spills project benefits begin to unfold as water levels decrease
Post by
Sarah Richards
If you live in or visit Spokane in the final weeks of summer, you might take the opportunity to go look at the north and south channels of the
Spokane River flows
in Riverfront Park. If you compare the river during this time of year to years past, you will notice the falls are flowing with water.
Each summer, usually in July or August, river flows decrease substantially. In the past, this left the two channels dry with just a trickle of water flowing through the south channel.
In the summer of 2010, as part of the aesthetic spills requirement in our federal license to operate Upper Falls Dam, Avista and several stakeholder groups took part in a assessing test flows to determine whether permanent channel modifications could enhance the view of the river during periods of low river flow. These groups, including the
City of Spokane
Friends of the Falls
Spokane Canoe and Kayak Club
, the
Friends of the Centennial Trail
The Sierra Club
were trying to learn whether the same or better, aesthetic effects could be achieved with 300 cubic feet per second (CFS) flowing through the two channels, than 500 CFS would without modifications.
During the aesthetic spill test, biologists also assessed the impact of potential channel modifications to fish and fish habitat in the river through the park and downstream.
The test was successful, and last year, Avista and its contractors,
Land Expressions LLC
, gave the south and north channels a makeover to help restore the Spokane River's beauty to a more natural state, the way it once was before early developers in Spokane cut into the bedrock to collect water during dry times. The enhancements, using "
that look like the natural bedrock in the river, spread water more evenly throughout the Upper Falls' two channels that run north and south of Canada Island. Combined, they produce an aesthetically pleasing flow of water that viewers can enjoy throughout the year.
"Avista and our contractors took a new and creative approach to restoring the falls to a more natural state," said Spokane River License Manager Speed Fitzhugh. "We matched the color, shape and texture of the weirs to that of the bedrock to produce seamless, natural looking river flows. As far as we've been able to determine, it's the first project of its kind in North America."
You can learn more and see photos of the
construction of the aesthetic spills project
You may remember this year we had a longer than normal run-off season, with high, fast river flows in the Spokane and other area rivers. Thanks to the collaborative effort of Avista, our stakeholders and contractors, visitors to downtown Spokane no longer have to look at a dry riverbed during the warm summer days.
Protecting natural resources and operating our dams responsibly helps us continue to generate clean, reliable and cost-effective hydroelectric power for our customers. Last year's aesthetic spills project on the Spokane River has improved the scenery in downtown Spokane and recreated habitat for fish, birds, and other local wildlife, something that we can all be proud of for generations to come.

I'm best man at a wedding in Carmarthen in a few weeks, lots of Welsh speaking guests so I'd like to throw in a couple of phrases/toasts/whatever in the speech. Anyone from over that way like to PM me suggestions (with approximate pronunciation ) ?
It'd be nice if they didn't turn out to mean "The bride's father has a huge hairy arse" on the day too

Report: Renewable Energy is Leading Source of New Electric Generating Capacity in US
January 23rd, 2009 by Ariel Schwartz
Renewable energy is starting off right in the new year with the "Electric Power Annual 2007" report from the US Energy Information Administration. According to the newly released report, non-hydroelectric renewable energy is now the leading source of new electric generating capacity in the US.
In 2007, electric power generation increased 2.3%, from 4,065 million MWh in 2006 to 4,157 MWh in 2007. Total net summer capacity increased 8,673 MW, with wind energy responsible for 5,186 MW.
Wood and wood derived fuels continue to be the largest source of renewable generation, accounting for 37.1%. Coming in second place is wind energy, accounting for 32.7& of total net generation from non-hydroelectric renewable sources.
The only renewable energy source to decline was conventional hydroelectric power, dropping from 289 million MWh in 2006 to 248 million MWh in 2007.
I'm betting that these figures will only become more encouraging with a renewable energy-friendly president in office.

|This may become your new favorite snack! Try with Coconut Crack Bars for an extra delicious treat!
Getting into the time of year when there are sweets in abundance and the urge to get some sugary treats can be one of the tougher things you will do while working on your fitness and practicing a more controlled way of eating. It becomes tough watching so many people snacking on those sorts of snacks that they, and you, know are something that really should be moderated a little.
Fear not, this treat will hit your sweet tooth, deliver some fats that are healthier than those you would normally get and believe it or not it is also free of additonal sugars that are mixed into so many snacks on top of other ingredients without tasting like it! That is to say it is sugar free! Primal Fudge bars contain only simple natural ingredients that all have a part in helping your health and can be a great treat for after a workout (especially running or other vigorous cardio that has a strong fat burning affinity - and remember, although you may be trying to lose weight at some point, you need to fuel your body to keep it from going towards a catabolic state, eating certain fats will actually help your metabolism).
The recipe can be found here: Practical Paleo. We used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder and then in place of using an almond butter or peanut butter my wife and I made our own walnut butter that although higher in fat than most nut butters also adds Omega 3's and helpful antioxidants that have an anti-inflammatory property (again, good for after long runs when your body has taken a pretty good beating). Being home made it also means we can nix the addition of sugar. The natural sweetness of the walnut plus the other ingredients in the recipe add enough sweetness on their own.
How we made walnut butter:
1 cup walnuts
1 Tbsp refined coconut oil
Put walnuts and coconut oil in food processor and blend until mostly smooth.
Then you can just mix the remainder of the Primal Fudge recipe in with your butter and complete the recipe. Easy and no extra dishes to be made either!
Nutritional Facts for 1 small bar of Primal Fudge (at 20 servings instead of 10) using walnut butter and Dark Chocolate cocoa powder the Maple Syrup option:

Tell me about the rear wheel bearings...
... although they are pre greased new (I bought Timken) Ive read elswhere that it is the oil on the diff that actually keeps them lubricated after fitment.
Is that true ? :confused:
(Ive got a 2004 with Qudradrive and use the full syth oil in the diff)
Re: Tell me about the rear wheel bearings...
Yes, that is true. The bearings are lubricated by the diff fluid.
Re: Tell me about the rear wheel bearings...
Thanks for confirming that.
I watched a youtube video recently and the guy was packing more grease into the bearing before he installed it. Had me worried Id got it all wrong and my recently installed bearing would fail !!

WELCOME to 2013 and what promises to be one of the most exciting years in
We have asked SunSport columnists TERRY VENABLES, HARRY REDKNAPP,
IAN WRIGHT and ALAN SHEARER give their thoughts on the big
issues over the next 12 months.
Who will win this season's Premier League title and why?
VENABLES: MANCHESTER UNITED. They have a seven-point lead at the top of
the table over their 'noisy neighbours' at the moment.
And while I don't think their eventual winning margin will be as much as that,
I still think they will hold on to top spot under pressure from City.
REDKNAPP: MANCHESTER UNITED will be champions. I've thought it from day
one, even though they are not achieving the kind of football or performances
they have done in past seasons.
But the signing of Robin van Persie has made all the difference. It'll be
close this year as there are plenty of teams with plenty of quality but
United will see it through.
WRIGHT: MANCHESTER UNITED. They were only just pipped last season in
the last minute on the last day.
But they now have Robin van Persie up front, who is an incredible player. He
could tip the balance for United in the race against City.
SHEARER: I SAID Manchester City at the start of the season and I am not
going to change my mind now.
I know Manchester United are playing the best at the minute but they can still
look vulnerable at the back.
And I think that, like last season. there are still plenty of twists to come.
Will Alex Ferguson start the 2013-14 season as Man Utd boss?
VENABLES: I BELIEVE he will. I just can't see him leaving. Despite
turning 71 yesterday, Fergie has shown in the last week or so that he still
has the fight and passion for the job — just ask Alan Pardew or Mike Dean
about that.
And he does not take kindly to younger managers trying to muscle in on his
REDKNAPP: YES. I believe he will. You can see from his body language —
and other kinds of language — that he is still so passionate about football!
I don't see anything from him to suggest he will be retiring. He is not ready
for slippers yet, despite being in his 70s.
WRIGHT: I BELIEVE he will. As long as United keep on winning, I am sure
Fergie will retain his appetite for being in charge at Old Trafford.
And that is good news for every supporter of Manchester United — and bad news
for everybody else.
SHEARER: WELL, he certainly hasn't shown any signs of slowing down in
the last week or so, has he?
Maybe if he regains the Premier League title from City he will see that as the
perfect way to go out. But I think he still has plenty left to give.
Who'll win the Champions League and how far will Man Utd and Arsenal go?
VENABLES: YOU can't look too far beyond Lionel Messi and Barcelona, who
have both been in such imperious form of late.
However, German champions Borussia Dortmund are my dark horses. Both United
and Arsenal will find it very difficult to get through the next round.
REDKNAPP: THE two Spanish giants and Bayern Munich are the standout
teams left in. The fact Madrid are doing so poorly domestically will drive
them on in Europe.
We'll be lucky to see the English clubs through to the quarters. United v
Madrid could be spectacular, Arsenal have it all to do against an
exceptional Bayern side.
WRIGHT: I AM going with Barcelona. Last season, they missed out against
Chelsea and will badly want to put that right.
It will be very hard for Arsenal against Bayern Munich, who are tearing it up
in Germany. I back Manchester United to beat Real and they could go all the
way to the final.
SHEARER: SPANISH giants Barcelona are still the benchmark for every
club in the world to aspire to — despite their surprise failure against
Chelsea in the semi-finals last season.
I can see Manchester United beating Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid and reaching
the semi-finals. But Arsenal will be out next round to German powerhouses
Bayern Munich.
Would you like to see Jose Mourinho back as a Premier League manager?
VENABLES: I THINK everybody, probably including the man himself, would
love to see The Special One back in the English game.
The Premier League is widely touted as the best domestic league in the world
and I agree.
So it should have the best managers in the world, and Mourinho is certainly
one of those.
REDKNAPP: YES. He is a great character, great manager. He recently said
he wants to win the European Cup with Madrid before he leaves. If he does
leave, few clubs could accommodate him but the two Manchester teams spring
to mind. And you get the feeling England remains a special place for The
Special One.
WRIGHT: YES, I would. I think Mourinho is a wonderful character. Every
single Press conference he is involved in is nothing if not entertaining.
He is the Special One. He has that X-factor. And English football can never
have too much of that. Maybe he could return to Chelsea…
SHEARER: YES, the Portuguese man-o-war was a major loss when he left
the Premier League.
And I think his return to these shores would help the league to bring in a lot
more quality players to our country. He is box-office gold when it comes to
quotes as well.
Which young star is your player to watch in 2013?
VENABLES: I AM going to go for Oscar. The Brazilian midfielder, 21, has
made an excellent start for Chelsea since arriving from Internacional for
£25million last summer — and I am expecting big things from him in the
months ahead.
REDKNAPP: TIKA MUSONDA at Chelsea. You probably haven't heard of him
yet but you will. He is a Belgian defender-come-midfielder who is about to
turn 19. And I hear he has got loads of potential. Manchester City skipper
Vincent Kompany tells me Belgium have very high hopes for this youngster.
WRIGHT: HE may be plying his trade in the Championship but my young
player of the season so far is Wilfried Zaha at Crystal Palace. It is great
to see such talent at my old club. He will be in the Premier League next
season — with Palace or someone else.
SHEARER: I HAVE been impressed with 21-year-old centre-half Steven
Caulker at Tottenham. He has done his apprenticeship with loan spells at the
likes of Yeovil, Bristol City and Swansea and worked his way through the
England ranks. A real one to watch.
Which Championship challenger would you like to see in the Premier League?
VENABLES: CARDIFF have been knocking on the door for the past few years
and deserve a seat at the big table as much as anyone. And I would like to
see my old club Crystal Palace join them in the top flight next season.
REDKNAPP: THERE are some big teams up there at the moment and I like
the look of Leicester City. Maybe they need to win more games, even though
they don't lose many. Middlesbrough are another big club who would not look
out of place in the Prem.
WRIGHT: CARDIFF. I think they have had a few good attempts and they
have an excellent manager in Malky Mackay. The club deserves their crack at
the bigtime. But I would also love to see Palace in the Premier League.
SHEARER: I WOULD like to see Middlesbrough back so we can have three
top-flight teams in the North East again. That is given the other two stay
up! Tony Mowbray is doing a top job there and they are well placed for an
automatic promotion push.
Will England qualify for the the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil?
VENABLES: YES, we will be there for the party in Rio in 2014. We are
second in the group behind Montenegro and we can't afford too many more
draws. But we always seem to pull it out of the bag in qualifying.
REDKNAPP: YES, I should blooming well hope so anyway! If they don't,
then we have serious problems. Qualification for major tournaments should be
considered routine for England given the quality of the players we have at
our disposal. The hard part begins once they get to major finals.
WRIGHT: YES, they will. Roy Hodgson's boys are not topping their group
at the moment. But I am sure, with the quality we have, they will come
through in the end and finish in first place, so avoiding the play-offs.
SHEARER: I THINK we will qualify but end up doing it the hard way —
through the play-offs. The problem for Roy Hodgson and his boys will come
when we get to Brazil. We will really struggle as we are still a long way
off being a world force.
What is your biggest sporting wish for the New Year?
VENABLES: FOOTBALL-WISE, I wish the authorities would clamp down on
defenders manhandling attackers at set-pieces. The black arts of defending
are getting beyond a joke now. The Premier League is becoming more like NFL
or basketball than football.
REDKNAPP: TO SEE a swift end to all the personal and vicious abuse that
seems to pour down from the terraces these days. Let's give it a rest, eh,
and enjoy the football?
WRIGHT: I WOULD love to see Arsenal win the Premier League title. It
would be the ultimate. But I know it is a long shot (80-1, Wrighty!)
SHEARER: THAT football gets a bit of its credibility back. There is no
doubt 2012 was a huge year for sport and there were great moments in
football. But the sport's name suffered with the problems over racism — and
that needs to be sorted out.

The Doctor's Dilemma HTML version
After dinner on the terrace at the Star and Garter, Richmond. Cloudless summer night;
nothing disturbs the stillness except from time to time the long trajectory of a distant train
and the measured clucking of oars coming up from the Thames in the valley below. The
dinner is over; and three of the eight chairs are empty. Sir Patrick, with his back to the
view, is at the head of the square table with Ridgeon. The two chairs opposite them are
empty. On their right come, first, a vacant chair, and then one very fully occupied by B.
B., who basks blissfully in the moonbeams. On their left, Schutzmacher and Walpole.
The entrance to the hotel is on their right, behind B. B. The five men are silently enjoying
their coffee and cigarets, full of food, and not altogether void of wine.
Mrs Dubedat, wrapped up for departure, comes in. They rise, except Sir Patrick; but she
takes one of the vacant places at the foot of the table, next B. B.; and they sit down again.
MRS DUBEDAT [as she enters] Louis will be here presently. He is shewing Dr
Blenkinsop how to work the telephone. [She sits.] Oh, I am so sorry we have to go. It
seems such a shame, this beautiful night. And we have enjoyed ourselves so much.
RIDGEON. I dont believe another half-hour would do Mr Dubedat a bit of harm.
SIR PATRICK. Come now, Colly, come! come! none of that. You take your man home,
Mrs Dubedat; and get him to bed before eleven.
B. B. Yes, yes. Bed before eleven. Quite right, quite right. Sorry to lose you, my dear
lady; but Sir Patrick's orders are the laws of--er--of Tyre and Sidon.
WALPOLE. Let me take you home in my motor.
SIR PATRICK. No. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Walpole. Your motor will
take Mr and Mrs Dubedat to the station, and quite far enough too for an open carriage at
MRS DUBEDAT. Oh, I am sure the train is best.
RIDGEON. Well, Mrs Dubedat, we have had a most enjoyable evening.
WALPOLE and B. B. Most enjoyable. Delightful. Charming. Unforgettable.
MRS DUBEDAT [with a touch of shy anxiety] What did you think of Louis? Or am I
wrong to ask?
RIDGEON. Wrong! Why, we are all charmed with him.

Domicile 4.5 HTML version
Domicile 4.5
"And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what
comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it
is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is
sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great
branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."
– Mark 4:30–2
The morning was flowing in through the eastern facing windows, hot white light that was
being filtered through the tri-weave diamond panes inset in the fine faux-wood frames. Inside
each pane, invisible micro filaments picked up a small percentage of those errant photons, those
troublesome subatomic particles that weren't quite particles or waves, and channeled them down
to the basement where they were stored in the house's main generator. In the kitchen, Martha
was busy heating up a pan of water that would soon be dedicated to the boiling of some eggs for
their Sunday brunch. Gerald, her husband, and their little Timmy, who would be arriving home
at any moment, were known to get hungry at about this time.
In the den, the aforementioned Gerald sat and read from a copy of The Times. The single
page was unfolded in front of him, text and streaming video moving about and giving him the
day's events. International news was proving depressing on this fine day, so a simple verbal
command changed it immediately.
"Sports," he said softly. The pictures and text immediately changed, only the title and the
days date, and the cost of the circular, still apparent at the top. Within moments, his senses were
distracted by the smell of browning toast and hot eggs coming from the kitchen. He smiled when
he realized that fresh cheese was being brought out as well, and his mouth began to water in
The stove moved deliberately slow, drawing photons from the house' generator to power
what appeared to be an old-fashioned electrical appliance, but what was in reality a superior
nanotech model. Every element was constructed of super resilient metals that had very little
atomic weight and required very little energy to heat. Thus energy was applied slowly and
evenly to give it the feel of an old-style cooker, the kind that took minutes or even hours to heat
something to the point where it was edible or could be cooked with.
There was a sudden pounding at the door. Gerald and Martha both looked up to see their
son standing there, his arms laden with all kinds of materials. Gerald was quick to his feet,
chivalrously volunteering to let him in so Martha could continue cooking. When the door
opened (a slight breeze coming in due to a temporary change in pressure from the perfectly
climate-controlled interior) he noticed that his son was indeed heavily laden. His arms were
stuffed with what appeared to be scholastic reading materials, sports equipment of various kinds
and personal items. And at his feet, the petmodel they had named Rufus was impatiently
walking around his legs.
"Come in, son! Come in Rufus!" he said to them both. The model Rufus obliged and his
son did as he was told as well, the result of internal compulsion and not embedded voice
command software. "How was your morning?"
"Oh fine," he said, putting all his things down at once in the corner. "Why you insist on
sending me to such a primitive academy is beyond me, though."

A Milton Friedman student disarms Keynesian theorists
A former student of the University of Chicago economics professor comments on what he learned from Milton Friedman about government intervention during economic slumps.
Thomas Sowell, a former Friedman student, Marxist and now a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, claims that Friedman was a liberal on liberty.
In an opinion piece picked up by the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Tuesday, Sowell outlined his thoughts. "I was a Marxist when I was a student in Professor Friedman's course...," said Sowell. "I was still a Marxist after taking Professor Friedman's class.
"What Friedman is best known for as an economist was his opposition to Keynesian economics, which had largely swept the economics profession on both sides of the Atlantic," Sowell said.
According to Sowell, Friedman saw the flawed thinking behind Keynesian economics. Friedman challenged the notion that the relationship between inflation and unemployment held only in the short term, when the inflation was unexpected. "But, after everyone got used to inflation, unemployment could be just as high with high inflation as it had been with low inflation.
"There are still some die-hard Keynesians today who keep insisting that the government's 'stimulus' spending would have worked if only it was bigger and lasted longer," Sowell stated. "This one of those heads-I-win-and-tails-you-lose arguments."
He contends that Keynesians would stick to their claims even if the federal government spends itself into bankruptcy. An ideal that is held by the current administration's economic gurus. Keynesians would argue that their economic philosophy would have worked if only the government had spent more stimulus.
Sowell recalls that Milton Friedman considered himself a liberal in the original sense of the word — "someone who believes in the liberty of the individual, free of government intrusions."
Sowell suggested that, "It is liberals who want to conserve and expand the welfare state.
"Like many, if not most, people who became prominent as opponents of the left, Professor Friedman began on the left. No one converted Milton Friedman, either in economics or in his views on social policy. His own research, analysis and experience converted him," said Sowell.

In Huck Finn-ch. 26-31, what Does Huck suggest a witness of King & Duke and what does Huck do so he can pray? What is ironic about the letter situation?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The letter is ironic because Huck is admitting to having stolen Jim—but he's doing so after Miss Watson has already freed Jim. He "stole" a free man, and has been guilty over taking "property" that wasn't.
As far as the witness, Huck suggests witnesses to prove that the King and Duke aren't really who they say they are, so he can keep them from bilking the family in their time of mourning.

The kits are completely virgin. No extractor cut, no pin locations or handguard retainer slot. No rivet locations in the trunnions., no barrel pin locations.,nor the rear folding stock inlets.
A good bit of work for an experienced builder with tools or a pretty pricey build if sent to an AK smith for assembly.
No markings or serial numbers.
Actually the extractor cut is less exacting than the other component placement, drilling and reaming of the pins and the barrel pin etc as well as headspace guages of course. Time patience and tools can get r done. The rear trunnion cuts/holes are not easy but can be done with drills and hand toold (Dremel & files etc.).
Just a lot of fitting and work and the right drill bits and reamers etc.
Virgin builds are a lot more work.
but their virgin... everyone likes virgins..
I may had get few of these
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
I understand these are virgin kits and will need some work. My question is: Do these kits have all the parts required to build minus the receiver? I hate buying a kit and then having to chase down a part because "what came in the bag is what is in the bag, and that's it, oh and good luck with your build."
If someone who bought a kit could confirm what is pictured on the website is exactly what you get. Thanks
They should.My question is: Do these kits have all the parts required to build minus the receiver?
But to comment on the rest of what you said, that's all up to the company, if they suck your shit out of luck. Do a Google search on Black Thorne and see what you come up with.

Hi Tony,
Not sure if anyone has helped you with this but my advise is as follows:
Forget about the router with the 2 public IP's - just so long as it will
permit IPSEC traffic through it to the PIX it will be fine.
Basically you are setting up a VPN tunnel from PIX to PIX - if you need
help with conf's check out cisco.com there are many PIX -> * VPN example
You can go PIX->router but you need to work out what is *best* for you -
ie who will be using the VPN? Clients behind the PIX or clients behind
the router? If it's clients behind the PIX I would terminate the VPN at
the PIX rather than the router!

Ryan Gosling Gossip
Ryan Gosling gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Eva Mendes was photographed on Wednesday, just as news was breaking that she and Ryan Gosling are expecting a baby. As you can see, she was desperately trying to cover her body. Well, they've managed to keep this secret for 7 months, supposedly. They're saying she just stayed in her house the whole time. Full Story
What's it going to take?
Allpix / Splash News
Sarah texted me last night. "Oh the Gosling meltdown is delicious." The other reaction was pure denial. Like, what's it going to take to get them to believe? At this point, probably footage of the baby crowning. Yesterday it was OK! breaking the story, STAR following, then Access Hollywood, then US Weekly. Full Story
More on Eva & Ryan pregnancy reports
Dominic Chan/ WENN
First it was OK! and STAR. Click here for my post from earlier today. Now US Weekly and Access Hollywood are on it. Both outlets claim their sources confirm the reports. And US and Access Hollywood are a lot more legit than the other two. Full Story
Is Eva Mendes having Ryan Gosling's baby?
Both OK! and STAR Magazine are reporting that Eva Mendes is pregnant for Ryan Gosling. Neither publication has a particularly accurate track record. Full Story
The secrets of The Notebook
As mentioned last week, The Notebook celebrated its 10th anniversary last week and Nick Cassavetes, the director, talked to VH1 about some of his memories from the film, providing great insight on the actors, particularly Ryan Gosling. What's getting the most attention is Cassavetes' anecdote about the chemistry between Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Full Story
Gosling after Cannes
Ryan Gosling's Lost River was not well received in Cannes. In fact, they sh-t on it. Hard. I noticed too that it was men who were particularly unkind. Which kinda made me laugh. Ryan Gosling. That Guy. The Pillow. The one the girls want to hear right before they fall asleep. Are they tired of Ryan Gosling? Of how women sound when Ryan Gosling comes up? Was Cannes a HAHAHAHAH moment for them? Like, Hey Girl, his movie sucks! "If a $200 haircut and $900 shades were given lots of money to defecate on Detroit, the result would be Ryan Gosling's directing debut. Full Story
Ryan Gosling doesn't impress
Andreas Rentz/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty
Lost River was booed yesterday in Cannes. I mean there was some applause. But the jeering was much louder. And most of the high profile critics seem to agree that, well, Lost River just isn't a very good movie. With the exception of Anne Thompson at IndieWire, Ryan Gosling's debut effort as a director did not impress. Full Story
Ryan Gosling's Lost River photo call
Pascal Le Segretain/ BERTRAND LANGLOIS/ Getty
Ryan Gosling has returned to Cannes, this time as a director. He and several members of his Lost River cast, including Christina Hendricks and Matt Smith, were at the photo call today to represent the film. Haven't read any reviews yet. I'll do a pick up on this with the carpet shots from the Palais when critics start releasing their comments. Full Story
Ryan Gosling heads to Cannes
BJJ /Vasquez /FAMEFLYNET PICTURES

So many of you are so horny for this guy and he hasn't been on a red carpet in so long I thought I'd do it old school like "Extra Extra!" the way newspapers used to be sold. San Francisco Film Festival last night. Premiere of White Shadow. He executive produced. He'll likely be in Cannes. Full Story
Gosling to Cannes
Ryan Gosling directed his first film. It used to be called How To Catch A Monster. Now it's called Lost River. It's entered in Un Certain Regard. This is why he skipped the Cannes Film Festival last year (Only God Forgives). Doubtful that he'll skip this year. Gosling has been working on it for months, keeping a very, very low profile.

the office staff is very friendly. The maintenance department is quick to respond, wether the issue is large Read Moreor not. The only down side is there are other residents that do not adhere to the complex rules and that makes it difficult to be completely happy

Costume Information
|okay so while Graces is, as much as I love it, definitely not my favorite Tales game, I certainly adored a handful of its characters a whole lot. And Richard is one of them, I love him so much, he's probably one of my favorite characters ever ;~;
I've wanted to do this cosplay for a while and I'm thinking of making it my next big planned project seeing as I dunno what my cosplay life will be like a few months from now! This is something I can do on my own too, event or not, which helps!
But for sure I will have InfiniteJester joining me as Asbel one day, 'cause we need our OTP times, and TheStarlightFairy as Sophie for friendship trio extensions and even more cute!
*totally sneaks in your group as Sophie what who said that*
I cannot wait to see this, you are going to be glorious and majestic!
Ahhh you will look amazing as Richard <3
@Louise: eee thanks, that is the plan! 8D YES you are totally gonna be part of this good. Consider yourself stolen!
@Laura: thank you ;o; I hope I can work on this soonish!
