There are basically two ways for men to be equal...Sam Colt's way, or Vladimir Lenin's way...not hard to figure out which way the men she's writing about are leaning
This is a discussion on The anti-gun male within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; LET'S be honest. He's scared of the thing. That's understandable--so am I. But as a girl I have the luxury of being able to admit ...
LET'S be honest. He's scared of the thing. That's understandable--so am I. But as a girl I have the luxury of being able to admit it. I don't have to masquerade squeamishness as grand principle - in the interest of mankind, no less.
A man does. He has to say things like "One Taniqua Hall is one too many," as a New York radio talk show host did in referring to the 9-year old New York girl who was accidentally shot last year by her 12 year old cousin playing with his uncle's gun. But the truth is he desperately needs Taniqua Hall, just like he needs as many Columbines and Santees as can be mustered, until they spell an end to the Second Amendment. And not for the benefit of the masses, but for the benefit of his self esteem.
He often accuses men with guns of "compensating for something." The truth is quite the reverse. After all, how is he supposed to feel knowing there are men out there who aren't intimidated by the big bad inanimate villain? How is he to feel in the face of adolescent boys who have used the family gun effectively in defending the family from an armed intruder? So if he can't touch a gun, he doesn't want other men to be able to either. And to achieve his ends, he'll use the only weapon he knows how to manipulate: the law.
Of course, sexual and psychological insecurities don't account for ALL men against guns. Certainly there must be some whose motives are pure, who perhaps do care so much as to tirelessly look for policy solutions to teenage void and aggressiveness, and to parent and teacher negligence. But for a potentially large underlying contributor, psycho-sexual inadequacy has gone unexplored and unacknowledged. It's one thing to not be comfortable with a firearm and therefore opt to not keep or bear one. But it's another to impose the same handicap onto others.
People are suspicious of what they do not know - and not only does this man not know how to use a gun, he doesn't know the men who do, or the number of people who have successfully used one to defend themselves from injury or death. But he is better left in the dark; his life is hard enough knowing there are men out there who don't sit cross-legged. That they're able to handle a firearm instead of being handled by it would be too much to bear.
Such a man is also best kept huddled in urban centers, where he feels safer than he might if thrown out on his own into a rural setting, in an isolated house on a quiet street where he would feel naked and helpless. Lacking the confidence that would permit him to be sequestered in sparseness, and lacking a gun, he finds comfort in the cloister of crowds.
The very ownership of a gun for defense of home and family implies some assertiveness and a certain self reliance. But if our man kept a gun in the house, and an intruder broke in and started attacking his wife in front of him, he wouldn't be able to later say, "He had a knife--there was nothing I could do!" Passively watching in horror while already trying to make peace with the violent act, scheduling a therapy session and forgiving the perpetrator before the attack is even finished wouldn't be the option it otherwise is.
No. Better to emasculate all men. Because let's face it: He's a lover, not a fighter. And he doesn't want to get shot in case he has an affair with your wife. Of course, it wouldn't be completely honest not to admit that owning a firearm carries with it some risk to unintended targets. That's the tradeoff with a gun: The right to defend one's life and way of life isn't without peril to oneself. And the last thing this man wants to do is risk his life - if even to save it. For he is guided by a dread fear for his life, and has more confidence in almost anyone else's ability to protect him than his own, preferring to place himself at the mercy of the villain or in the sporadically competent hands of authorities (his line of defense consisting of locks, alarm systems, reasoning with the attacker, calling the police or, should fighting back occur to him, thrashing a heavy vase).
In short, he is a man begging for subjugation. He longs for its promise of equality in helplessness. Because only when that strange, independent alpha breed of male is helpless along with him will he feel adequate. Indeed, his freedom lies in this other man's containment.

This article is a good discription of the huddled masses who are dependant on the warrior class for their existance and protection. I believe in the mirror test. Look in the mirror when you are alone. The person looking back at you is the person most responsible for your safety.

These are the guys, though, that if someone else is attacking their wife, they go nuts thinking that one of "us" should have helped her.... but at all other times, we are despised. You all know that sheepdogs are feared by the sheep.
I really saw all this here in MO, since I work with a lot of people who were pro-CCW. But, when it finally got through... of maybe 40 people, there ended up me and two others who actually went and got a license and carry a gun.
Guess what.... some of those others really don't like the thought of us having guns. Now if they have a problem, they are ultimately responsible. The pretty boys can't yell that they couldn't do anything because of a knife, etc, etc.
Sorry, rant over. I just don't like these kind of people.
I will tell you all something that I never told anyone: I am very respectful of firearms. Not "scared" or "afraid" of them, just very respectful of them.
I've seen what they can do, on bodies also, even if they were only of the animal kind (in leu of the Human Kind). I have seen firsthand what they can do to objects that simulate the mass and water content of the human body.
I have handled all types, makes, and models of firearms. Some with multiple safeties, some with no safeties, and some with safeties that were suspent.
Yet, even through I have a great respect for them, I am not afraid to handle them. You see, I have been taught, and actively put into action, four simple rules.
As for "compensating" for something, I've no complaints yet so therefore, I don't feel the need to "project" onto a simple tool. Unlike some who are so afraid of a firearm that the BMW is a welcome substitute.
Yep agun can be a great defensive tool. Just yesterday my girlfriend came over before I got out of work. She said a guy in a truck cut her off , honked, rode her bumper then followed her to almost the house. No problem , she got out the .44 mag. from the back of her truck before she got out and headed into the house.
gotta love a woman who is willing to take up her own defense

That IMO is how it should be for all competent firarms owners who - if applying the basic safety rules, have little to worry about.

I agree with the article also. But, and this is going to sound whiney, it can be tough culturally on these kind of issues. Men are pushed to be all "sensitive" and all that other bullcrap, yet also play the warrior when needed too. I think socially we are confused on the roles of men and women and how we relate to each other and our strengths and weaknesses.

That is the total summation of the situation.Originally Posted by Steelhorse
Betty, you're dead on. You could also let your friend know that a Real Man is capable of defending himself and his loved ones verbally, with his hands, with arms, and most importantly, with his character. Limiting the Warrior spirit with artificial boundaries is, by definition, "inadequacy".
Tony, I agree with you as well. I do not believe myself to be a Neanderthal, but, as I tell my wife, if you want more sensitivity than I present, you probably need to move to Greece. The Isle of Lesbos, specifically. I believe a significant number of the inhabitants have external genitalia, which may lead one to give credence to "gender neutrality". I am sufficiently secure enough in my masculinity to wear a pink shirt, on occassion, and I will fumble my way through a Starbucks order.............I prefer Folgers, though. (;

Offshore giant Appleby has made up one new partner in this year's promotions round.
Alex Last becomes a partner in the firm's Jersey office, where he practises corporate and commercial law, focusing on the structuring of investment funds.
Meanwhile, three lawyers – Gill Crennell in the Isle of Man, Stephanie Duke in Jersey and Erica Robinson-McLeod in Bermuda – have been promoted to counsel. Duke is a litigator while Crennell and McLeod are both corporate lawyers.
Jersey managing partner Michael O'Connell said corporate and litigation were two of Appleby's core services.
This year's promotions round is smaller than last year's, when two partners and five counsel were made up at Appleby. The firm is the world's biggest offshore practice with over 80 partners and more than 220 qualified lawyers.

MADISON – Students walking to and from class around Bascom Hill Tuesday got a view of the new fall conditioning program for the Wisconsin men's basketball team.
A new regime. A new hill to climb.
After years of running Elver Park on the southwest side of the city, Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard and strength coach Erik Helland decided to move the hill running back to campus, avoiding the hazardous terrain of potholes and worn-down grass that former head coach Bo Ryan's hill had become.
When surveying Bascom Hill and its cushy grass, it reminded Gard of the hill that was run for preseason conditioning at UW-Platteville.
"There's a huge difference (here) in terms of the cushion," Gard said. "It's safer and healthier in the long run for the players."
At Elver Park, players would steadily jog up the hill and then use the walk down to catch their breath before going again. At Bascom, Wisconsin did six 30-yard sprints, only getting a short chance to rest in between reps and on the approximate 90-second walk from the top of the hill to the bottom.
After getting rained out last week, Wisconsin did six reps Tuesday and will add to it over the next three weeks. On the final rep, the players sprinted the last 60 yards.
With the exception of guard Brevin Pritzl, everyone ran day one.
"Some guys (were) out here testing it, kind of helping (Helland) adjust what he wants to do," Gard said. "I know they've been out here practicing a little bit, too. Once they heard what we were going to do and where we going to be, you always get a few trial runs in."
This isn't the first time Wisconsin has utilized one of campus' biggest selling points for conditioning. According to assistant coach Howard Moore, Wisconsin would do runs up and down Bascom Hill during team runs during his playing tenure in the 90s, jogs that would start at the UW Fieldhouse and take the team out toward Picnic Point.
The switch to Bascom – located a couple blocks north of the Kohl Center - also saves on roughly 90 minutes of travel time in rush hour traffic.
"It keeps them on campus," Gard said. "They'll see their fellow students that they know. We had a few people yell out names as they were running up and down."
Despite all the changes to help the team be more productive and better physically for the fall, the concept of "team building" hasn't changed.
"That's one thing that I wanted to maintain, that there is a mental toughness component to this," Gard said. "The preparation they have to do mentally knowing it's coming during the day, how they plan their meals, those type of things. This will build. This is just a start."

AIRLIE WARD: There's long been concern about talented young Tasmanians heading interstate.
There's a perception that Hobart and Launceston don't have the opportunities offered by Sydney or Melbourne.
But a burgeoning community of local designers is proving that success can be found without leaving the state.
Sally Glaetzer caught up with a few up-and-coming Hobart designers.
TIM BUCKLEY: It's good and it's bad. The good things are that it's a beautiful place to live and it's a great place to be creative and a really inspiring place. It's a nice lifestyle, nice pace for me to work how I do work.
It's a lot better than living in Sydney doing it I think for me personally, because of the distraction for me and I think I can focus on my own work here and not really be influenced a lot by a lot of the design that happens in Sydney.
SALLY GLAETZER: Upholstery designer Tim Buckley moved to Hobart about four years ago after studying fashion design in Sydney.
TIM BUCKLEY: I think three stores have ordered those in Melbourne
MONIQUE GERMON: And the white as well?
TIM BUCKLEY: Yeah both.
SALLY GLAETZER: He's gone against the trend of twenty-somethings leaving Hobart for bigger interstate cities.
He shares his work-space in central Hobart with another former Sydneysider, fashion designer Monique Germon.
MONIQUE GERMON: I think it's a fantastic environment to start up a business. I think people really appreciate things here that are made here and are authentic and that has a real Tasmanian feel about it.
SALLY GLAETZER: After studying music at the Hobart conservatorium, Ms Germon changed direction and started up her own fashion label.
MONIQUE GERMON: I've been told that I have quite a distinct look that certain people really go for so I've had repeat customers almost straight away which is really quite easy. In Tasmania word of mouth is everything and we even have clients coming to the shop from Melbourne and things so it hasn't been that difficult.
SALLY GLAETZER: A block away in another inner-city loft, jewellery designer Natalie Holtsbaum is further proof that creative passion can pay the bills.
But she's only recently been able to give up her part time jobs, to focus on designing and creating.
NATALIE HOLSBAUM: It's been pretty gruelling. It's been hard in the sense that there have been times when I haven't had any money… a lot of times where I've had to approach friends and say will you please buy these piece of jewellery?
Just give me $20 just to be able to go and buy some food, it was seriously traumatic at stages.
SALLY GLAETZER: The hard work has paid off.
Demand for her quirky pieces has grown so much that in the next 12 months, Ms
Holtsbaum plans to take on staff to help with packaging and bookkeeping.
She hopes to provide employment for refugees who settle in Tasmania.
NATALIE HOLSBAUM: I've just had courage towards it. I always knew that somehow it was going to work and so by putting in those crazy late hours and crazy early mornings and just keeping at it, keeping at it and keeping at it again, it's come through.
SALLY GLAETZER: Her work is featured in this month's design island exhibition, an annual state government event showcasing local talent.
PIPPA DICKSON: This whole program was developed back six seven years ago in order to really encourage people to consider staying here a little bit longer… you know, because we were finding that quite a lot of people were moving to mainland centres, Sydney and Melbourne and overseas.
I don't think you can ever stop that from happening. People naturally progress to larger centres for markets or for more stimulating city life I guess if they're inspired by that, but at the same time people are moving here as well.
LEONIE STRUTHERS: For me it was a really good opportunity to stretch my skills and to make garments which perhaps you don't normally make to put in the shops because they're for exhibition.
It gives you a chance to try techniques and to make garments that are perhaps a little more avante garde than the ones that I sell in my shop. It's also a great opportunity to show my work to a greater audience.
SALLY GLAETZER: Over the years the event has demonstrated a shift in the type of design work that's coming out of Tasmania.
PIPPA DICKSON: We've been known for furniture design and particularly timber and in the last year or two, mostly fashion design has been really emerging quite strongly as well as jewellery and architecture.
SALLY GLAETZER: One of the challenges for local designers is a shortage of skilled sewers and a lack of specialised materials.
TIM BUCKLEY: I think because we're a little far away and we're not a bigger place like Sydney or Melbourne I find it a little hard tracking down things that I need.
MONIQUE GERMON: With our ethics and what we're on about, what I'm on about is having things made locally and of course the cost is different.
SALLY GLAETZER: Despite the hurdles, both designers are planning to expand their respective businesses, while hopefully keeping Tasmania as their base.
TIM BUCKLEY: Definitely thinking big. Just slowly, like I'm in no hurry but it is slowly happening. If I went fast it probably wouldn't work so well so each range and each designs I develop I think they just get bigger and more interest and more sellers.
I'd like to be able to logistically still be able to be creative in Tasmania and stay here and maybe just have a lot of the production on the mainland.

Aiwendil - Preparations
We journeyed hard for a day and a night without a break until we reached the mountains, but we could not face part of an army in our tired condition. Even Elves need to rest.
We pitched up tents from canvas and poles that a few elves had brought along, at the head stood a small command tent, after an hour, our war camp was ready.
I stood in the command tent, there was a makeshift table with a large sheaf of parchment unrolled upon it. It was a map of the surrounding area.
"We have our best eyes and ears scouting the mountains, it will not be hard to find, but we must discern their number and the greatest point for an ambush," I nodded in agreement.
"And an Elf is the best person for such a job... and just about any job," he smirked once and then returned to his calm mask."
I sat for a while as I waited, in a meditative position, my mind scouring the path of the young Ramin. I could see him faintly, echoes and whispers of his conversation. He was going home?
I shivered in annoyance, I was clearing the way for him and...
...it doesn't matter. I sensed deception, going home had many implications, indeed I could not discover his true intention, but should he come this way then he shall be safe and I would be gone before he knew I had meddled. One way or another.
I shrugged of that last thought, there was glory in death, and death was not such a bad thing... it meant I could return to my love.
Somebody had entered the tent and I was pulled from my reverie. An elf stood next to the Leader.
"Merek," he bowed and Merek bowed in return, "we have searched and we have found that there numbers approach at least 250 Highlanders, we can assume they have divided their army in order to attack from multiple sides.
"They are situated within a valley, the sides are steep and unclimable, at least not when we are standing at the top shooting from the cover of the trees. They are but fish in barrels."
"And if they should flee?" The commander wondered.
"There are but two exits, one leads to a large lake where there is a cave hidden amongst rock and rubble that opens into plains and fields and on the other side the steep valley continues as a maze."
Merek and I glanced at each other.
We had but seventy-five well trained elves. We could happily situate up to twenty-five elves upon the rim of the valley cliff but we could spare no more. The lakeside seemed the likeliest option to flee seeing as the other route was maze-like, therefore we could place thirty on the lakeside and the remaining on the other side. Whichever direction they took, the remaining army would attack the rear.
We spent a further ten minutes detailing a plan before we set off into position.

Item description for Cities without Suburbs: A Census 2000 Update (Woodrow Wilson Center Press) by David Rusk...
Cities without Suburbs, first published in 1993, has become an influential analysis of America's cities among city planners, scholars, and citizens alike. In it, David Rusk, the former mayor of Albuquerque, argues that America must end the isolation of the central city from its suburbs in order to attack its urban problems.
Rusk's analysis, extending back to 1950, covers 522 central cities in 320 metro areas of the United States. He finds that cities trapped within old boundaries have suffered severe racial segregation and the emergence of an urban underclass. But cities with annexation powers -- -- termed "elastic" by Rusk -- -- have shared in area-wide development.
This third edition is among the first books of any kind to employ information from the 2000 U.S. census. While refining his argument with this new data, Rusk assesses the major trends of the 1990s, including the perceived rebound of central cities, the impact of Hispanic and Asian migration, the growing similarities of older "inner-ring" suburbs to central cities, and the emerging influence of faith-based movements. New recommendations take account of growing restrictions on cities' annexation powers, even in the Southwestern United States, and of new opportunities for federal shaping of home mortgage programs and urban planning processes. Rusk's conclusion stresses cities' growing experience with building political coalitions in pursuit of development and growth.

Cats and Holidays - Taking Your Cat To A Cattery
Going on holiday is always an exciting prospect, but for the cat owner, some prior planning will need to be made to ensure your cat is well cared for while you are away. You have three main options. Leave the cat at home and have a friend, neighbour or pet sitter come in and feed/play with the cat.
Have somebody house sit while you are away. Again, could be a friend, relative or there are now websites which hook up home owners with house sitters. Finally, there is the boarding cattery. All have advantages and disadvantages. This article will look at taking your cat to a boarding cattery, what is required and how to find the perfect boarding cattery so that your cat is happy and you can relax.
Choosing the right boarding cattery:
You will also need to choose the cattery you take them to quite carefully. First of all, you need to ensure that they are capable and responsible professionals running the facility. Secondly, you should try and find one with a good outdoor run, especially if your cat is used to heading outside regularly. Also, it's important to make sure that the cattery has individual runs for each cat – you don't want your pet to come home sick after coming into contact with lots of different, potentially ill, feline friends.
Word of mouth is always a good way to find a suitable boarding cattery. Ask friends, relatives, your veterinarian. See if it is possible to inspect the facility prior to boarding your cat.
- Does the place look and smell clean?
- How large are the cages?
- Do the current cats look happy and content?
- How much time is spent with the cat? Will the cat be played with, petted, groomed (if required)?
- How long has the boarding cattery been operating?
- What happens if your cat gets sick? Will they contact you?
- Do they have an on-call veterinarian to treat sick cats?
- Do they board dogs? If so, are they kept apart from the cats?
- Can they provide you with any references or show you letters of thanks from happy customers?
What to do in an emergency:
Do you have a backup person who can make decisions on your behalf should you not be able to be contacted? Preferably somebody with knowledge of your cat and any medical history. Would you be comfortable with them making decisions on your behalf? Sometimes, especially if you are overseas or in a remote area, it will not be possible for the boarding cattery to contact you, which is why it is a good idea to have a backup person. Be sure to tell that person you are giving the boarding cattery your details and they have your authority to act on your behalf. It may also be a good idea to notify your veterinarian of this at the same time.
Transporting your cat:
First of all, you will need to ensure that whenever your cat gets transported they are comfortable and safe. The only way to do this is by choosing a good cat carrier. Include a few toys that will help them feel at home and keep them entertained if they are on a long trip. If possible, bring along your cat's favourite blanket or an old t-shirt of yours for him to keep while you are away. This helps remind him of home and can be of comfort to him.
Finally, you need to make sure that your cat is prepared. That means having all necessary vaccinations, treated for parasites (fleas and worms) and packaging up any medication or special food that you need to give to the staff at the cattery. Boarding catteries will not accept cats who have not been properly vaccinated. Be sure to provide specific instructions regarding any medicine that needs to be administered.
It is important to remember to provide the boarding cattery with a contact number of where you are staying, your mobile number, an emergency contact and your veterinarian.
If you follow these steps you should be able to take your cat to a cattery without any stress. If you have a dog these steps, such as getting a good dog carrier, are also likely to apply. By having your pet well cared for, you can truly relax while on holiday.

How can I refinish my hardwood floors.
My hardwood floor is probably maple wood and I believe it had a polyurethane finish. I applied paste wax and orange glo refinisher on the floor (polyurethane + paste wax = NO good) and now my floors have a residue on it. I took a scrub pad and used windex to scrub it and now the floor is smooth but dull looking. When I look at it straight down, it looks like there is a white haze. I'm not sure is the finish still there or the wax is still there. If I leave the floor like that, over time, a black residue will accumulate and I will have to scrub the floor all over again. To remove that residue, I will have to scrub the floor again. So right now, I finish scrubbing my floor and I'm thinking about apply a coat of polyurethane on top of it right now, but I'm not sure about the outcome.
What can I do?
Is there still wax on my floor?
Hire a professional to screen and recoat your floor. He will know how to fix the problem.

I have been looking for a credit card for awhile then I get this letter in the mail saying I am preapproved for $10000 platinum card. I was really happy, im out of work for while and the bills plus Christmas is coming. It said send $37 for the annual fee which I didn't find strange because a lot of credit cards ask for the annual fee. I sent a money order and waited for the card to come in still nothing. There was no phone number on the letter so I looked up on the internet to only discover its a fraud reported way after I sent the money.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 11/30/2013 12:38 PM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/union-workers-credit-services/dallas-texas-75247/union-workers-credit-services-pre-approved-for-10000-platinum-card-for-37-dallas-texas-1103239.

Gingerbread Cake with Cognac Glaze
Cook Time: 1 hour
TT Test Kitchen Tip: Add visual drama to this grown-up gingerbread cake with French dragées. (Use dragées as decoration only.)
Cook Time: 1 hour
¾ cup unsulfured molasses
½ cup freshly brewed coffee
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
¾ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
Finely grated zest of 1 medium lemon
⅓ cup grapeseed oil
Cognac Glaze
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons cognac
3 tablespoons water
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
Pinch of salt
1. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325°. Spray the bottom and sides of a pudding pan or Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
2. In a medium saucepot, bring the molasses, coffee and water to a boil. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the baking soda. Set aside to cool slightly, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, salt and black pepper. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, fresh ginger, lemon zest and grapeseed oil. Gradually whisk in the reserved molasses mixture and flour mixture a third at a time, alternating until the mixture is just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Place the cake on a cooling rack and let cool in the baking pan for 5 minutes. Carefully turn the cake out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
6. Make the cognac glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, cognac, water, vanilla-bean seeds and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and serve.

Embattled FIFA boss wins support despite calls to step down
By Mike Collett and Mark Gleeson
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The head of world soccer, Sepp Blatter, faced calls on Tuesday to hand over the reins of an organization mired in allegations of corruption, but he also secured the backing of regional FIFA delegates gathered in Brazil ahead of the World Cup.
Michael van Praag, president of the Dutch Football Association (KNVB), conveyed one of the bluntest messages yet to the 78-year-old FIFA president, who is widely expected to run for a record fifth term in office in an election next year.
"The image of FIFA has been tarnished by everything that has happened over the last years," Van Praag said in an interview in the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant from Sao Paulo, where he is attending this week's FIFA Congress.
"There are very few people who still take FIFA seriously and whatever way you want to cut and dice it, Blatter is responsible in the end," he added.
Preparations for the World Cup, which kicks off in Sao Paulo on Thursday, have been overshadowed by allegations of corruption surrounding Qatar's bid to stage the 2022 World Cup.
The Sunday Times newspaper said that the former president of the Asian Confederation, Mohamed Bin Hammam, had used money from secret slush funds to help win votes and support for Qatar's successful World Cup bid.
Qatar denies the allegations and says it was not connected to Bin Hammam, while Bin Hammam has yet to comment publicly.
Labour disputes and protests sparked by public anger over how much the tournament has cost Brazil and how the country still struggled to be ready have also marred the run-up to the world's biggest, and most lucrative, sporting event. Continued...

I spent yesterday listening to an instrumental mix of our 16 songs. Prior to this I'd only heard the songs via a rough mix with click track and my ukulele plunking clumsily along. Now Jeff has softened it in the mix and Matt's newly recorded rhythm guitar has placed smooth skin over the sturdy, steady bones of Marcia's bass and Rob's drums. Some of these songs are still so new that Matt's lead part surprised and delighted me as I listened, giving a few songs a whole new incredible feel. My first vocal session is tomorrow and I'm so excited I could pee. I'll get as many in the can as I can then hit the rest of them after the new year. Matt and Marcia and I will add the backing vocal parts at the end of January and sometime in February this collection will be ready to rock.
Half of the songs are game songs I wrote, 2 with Matt Silvia and the rest are co writes with Astra Kelly, Heather Gmucs, Veronica May, Julia Whelpton, Jeff Berkley and CalAmity. We pay tribute to a song from 1973, also. The original songs were written over the last 3 years and are pretty specific in subject matter, weirdly. I'm either singing about personal injustice, the man I love or the drought and subsequent end of the world which is why I decided to call the collection LIFE, LOVE, THE END. I'm enjoying the process of designing the 10 page lyric/photo book that will accompany the CD. Huge love to Jeff Berkley and my band for making these songs come alive.. can't wait to share them with you via video each month beginning next year. Super squee. xo Cathryn Beeks

Today I recorded the ukulele parts to 16 songs, grooving to the awesome rhythmic skeleton that Rob Garbo and Marcia Claire provided a few weeks ago. Before I was finished I recorded some ambient noise stuff on my evolve uke played through a big kid amp with trippy effects. I'm still kind of speechless, it was my first time experiencing this level of studio joy. *sigh* These photos tell the story. Matt Silvia is up next and next week he'll do what he does so well. Then vocals. Then some other stuff. This is heaven. xo

Hours upon hours of listening to Gillian, Lucinda and Greta's Pandora station while I fixed up the bread truck last summer. All of those sirens singing sad and mad and joyful songs... I realized it had been 5 years since I last recorded and it was time for me to make new songs. The Ordeal was sort of taking a break so I hounded a few of my favorite musicians to "give" me some music they had laying around. Over the next few months I wrote about love, the drought, personal injustice and other stuff with Julia Whelpton, Veronica May, Astra Kelly, Heather Gmucs and Jeff Berkley. It was around that time that the ukulele exploded my world with happiness and The Ordeal not only began playing again but Matt and I started writing trippy new tunes, too. I had some studio time at Jeff Berkley's burning a hole in my pocket so a few weeks ago we booked a weekend and recorded the bass and drums for 16 songs. Originally dubbed "project collab", the placeholder name is 16 songs until such time as I can find a suitable name. Theme. Photos. Artwork. Videos. This is the exciting part, pals! *sigh*
I'll be heading back into Jeff's on Oct. 17th to record my ukulele parts, Matt will lay down guitar shortly thereafter and sometime in November I'll bust out the vocals for Matt and Marcia to record some sweet, sweet harmonies over. I'll keep you updated on the process and let you know how you can get the collection of songs... it's gonna be outside of the box. Literally. :)

Enhancing a Template for Joomla SEO
Tutorial 6: Enhancing a Template for Joomla SEO
Reprinted with permission from Compass Design: Valid W3C joomla template designs for your website
So we have a very basic shell of a web site. Doesn't look very interesting does it. Well, we can soon change that, let's make a few changes. We will also optimize the template for SEO. Joomla has some challenges compared to a static website, but techniques such as those we describe here can improve your joomla SEO efforts.
Some basic changes to the Joomla CSS
Let's first make the text a little more readable, two quick changes to the joomla CSS.
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 76%; /* don't go smaller than this */
Note we dropped the style being applied to "html,body" as we didn't want the percentage font size being applied twice!
This makes the font a more reasonable size. Remember, we talked about how we were sizing our fonts in one of our previous articles, A Blank Template CSS file for Joomla. I have also chosen a sans-serif font: verdana. Web pages have the opposite readbility of paper pages. On paper, serif (like Times New Roman) are more readable, on the web its the opposite.
Next, let's center the page.
text-align:center; /* for IE */
#wrapper {
margin:0 auto;
OK, so here we have centered the page and made it a little wider. This is a fluid joomla CSS layout, the main part of the page will always be 85% of the browser window. It re-seizes depending on the screen resolution.
Now, we have to do a little changing of the column sizes. This is important, if columns overlap, it can break a layout in a browser.
#centercontent {
margin-left: 190px; /*tweaked a little to get a slight gap*/
margin-right:165px; /*tweaked a little to get a slight gap*/
#rightcontent {
I have reduced the width of both side columns and increased the margins. Note I have made a small gap between them and the center column.
Let's make a splash of color, C00 is a shade of red and fff is white:
background-color: #C00;
#wrapper {
Joomla SEO
OK, so here is the really good bit. It's to do with joomla search engine optimization or joomla SEO. The closer something is to the beginning in the xhtml code of your page, the more weight it carries for yoursearch engine ranking . Unfortunately, a joomla website outputs alot of xhtml. This means that your important content (the middle column) gets pushed down. But, CSS to the rescue, remember that we absolutely positioned our side columns. This means that they can appear anywhere in the source, as long as they are in their container, the "wrapper". So let's put them after the main content! Heck, if you wanted and had alot of non-vital content in it, you could even make a header container and put that after the main content too.

<?php mosMainBody(); ?>

<?php mospathway() ?>
<?php mosLoadModules('top');?>

<?php mosLoadModules('left');?>

Valid xhtml?

GA: Windy Valley Llamas offers a working experience. You'll find a rewarding experience getting to know the llamas through hands on work in training and helping us with daily chores on the farm.
Work with the llamas at Windy Valley Llama Farm
Every year we offer a special program for people who love animals, to experience living and working with our special loving and caring llamas. We raise miniature and standard llamas.
This is an exchange opportunity for couples or single to join our farm family located in the North Georgia mountains. We treat our workers with the utmost respect, just like a family member.
We are currently looking for an RVing couple or single that loves animals and being around them. This is an adventure not a job. All of our workers have came away from here with a new appreciation of life with llamas and what they have to offer. We will warn you now that you'll fall in love with the area we live in and the people who make up our small community. Our llamas will find their way into your heart and your life will find a sense of peace that you may have never experienced before.
We ask for a six month commitment. We have an opening for working RVers for the spring/summer time period (April through September). The other opening is for the fall/winter time from October through March.
We are looking for the right person(s) that would like to be part of our farm family and its way of life. The position requires working in the barns, helping feed, train, and groom llamas. Also, the ability to handle small repairs as needed and the assistance in pasture care and some gardening.
We offer a complete RV site with full hookup for your recreational vehicle. During the winter months, from Thanksgiving until Easter, we will pay for your propane use. There are laundry facilities for you to use. Along with this, you get the use of our workshop, family game room, and porch areas for your personnel enjoyment. In exchange for this, we ask for 20 hours a week of your time.
Any additional hours we may need from time to time would be for pay.
We enjoy having pot luck dinners and good times together on our screened porch while watching the llamas playing and frolicking.
Our community is a tourist area and has many experiences you might enjoy, such as a scenic railroad (always looking for volunteers to ride the rails with some perks for workers who help), lots of festivals, mountain hiking, excellent motorcycling, and scenic back roads. The Appalachian Trail runs through our county, Atlanta is an hour away, as is Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are two hours from Ashville North Carolina, and there is some of the best white water rafting within 20 to 45 minutes away.
We do require a minimum of six month commitment (longer is also available), along with the ability to follow direction, and dedication to caring for are wonderful llamas.
If you are interested in a new and rewarding work experience, you may have just found your new destination. If you would like to experience a wonderful outdoor life style in an area of great beauty, along with being part of our farm family, please contact us.
Windy Valley Llama Farm is located in Blue Ridge, GA.
Please feel free to call or email us with any questions you may have. For more information about working with us at Windy Valley Llamas, call Jerry or Pam at 706-258-2432 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
