Samsung Reveals iPad Competition A Week Ahead Of Apple's WWDC
Samsung released data on its Galaxy Tab 3 devices, the next in its range of tablet computers designed to compete against Apple's iPad. They will arrive in 8- and 10-inch sizes in July.
Samsung has announced two new versions of its Galaxy Tab line of tablet computers, the 8-inch and 10-inch Galaxy Tab 3. Interestingly, given that ARM chips dominate the tablet market and Intel's traditional partner Microsoft has yet to impact the tablet world with its Surface machines, the 10-inch machine is powered by an Intel chip. Both machines will arrive at the beginning of June.
The 8-inch Galaxy Tab 3 has a 1,280 by 800 pixel LCD with a rear 5-megapixel camera, and runs Android 4.2. The 10-inch machine is said by Reuters to be powered by Intel silicon, and has a smaller 3-megapixel rear camera and the same screen resolution.
These devices are pitted against Apple's existing iPad range (with a 7.9-inch display with slightly lower resolution than Samsung's device) and the full iPad with a 9.7-inch screen with much higher resolution. The two companies are battling against each other in the tablet market, with Apple still in the lead and possibly due to reveal new, updated iPads at its big WWDC event next week.

we were told they wouldn't serve us as there was a 40 minute wait to eat breakfast, there was only 12 people in the entire restaurant! Apparently, the cook doesn't know how to fast order cook. The fat waitress was nasty to us. this happened on 3/31/2016
Help from help, accomodating
Great location! Poor water pressure in the shower!
Whats not to like...
La amabilidad y la facilidad de entrada y salida El aire acondicionado dejó de funcionar y el teléfono de la habitación no funcionaba
La vista era excelente, la habitación estaba limpia. El inodoro de la primera habitación no funcionaba, tuvimos que cambiar. El servicio de limpieza se olvidó de darnos un nuevo champú y acondicionador el segundo día. Las camas eran cómodas. El desayuno continental era deficiente. Sólo cereales y tostadas. La mayoría de los hoteles sirven desayunos calientes por el mismo precio.
La zona de la piscina, el restaurante y bar tiki. Lugar en construcción. no hay botones en los ascensores, el equipo de aire acondicionado desperdigado por todas partes
Buena ubicación. El personal era muy servicial. Alfombra bien utilizada. Necesita un poco de actualización.
Es muy bueno. Me gusta
Necesitan mantenimiento pero casi limpia.
Beautifully restored classic building with bright, modern décor, furnishings and accessories. Spacious, airy exercise facility has the state of the art equipment including weights. Entire staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Great location. We will be returning.
Excellent facility and location. Excellent dinner at acceptable cost Road nose irritating. Be careful of breakfast, the buffet is $$ and coffee and orange are extra.
Check in was easy. Facilities were good. When their ice machine was broken, they placed a big cooler full of ice for their customers. Pool looked great but we didn't have time to use it. They had barbecue grills with picnic tables and umbrellas. We (4 rooms) all enjoyed our stay and will likely stay there again. Continental breakfast was sparse. We ended up going to Waffle House across the street.
Parking outside of your room, clean rooms, swimming pool, pretty quiet. Very friendly and courteous staff. Had to go back to the front desk multiple times when my key card stopped working. Tub wasn't completely clean (had some dirty feet marks in it).
Convenient to Downtown Punta Gorda
Close to my places Location
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room needed some updating. Went into the bathroom and he toilet had no been flushed after being used. There was no mattress cover on the bed.
none it was very over priced.....got up the next morning to take shower, turned on water and black stuff fell out the faucet, then it stay in tub.
Location No elevators. I had three heavy bags and both times staying there I was told I had to room on second floor as the only rooms on first were smoking. YUCK! Rooms could use updating as well as microwave frig and tv. Front desk person was just so so.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Good location. Room clean and the night was quiet.OK Very good for a one star
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

Not much except the price. Bed spread was smelly. No coffee maker and very poor pillows.
No refund available for unused nights.
Inside room was great, no carpet, good sized TV, fridge, spacious room, bathtub. Only sheet & bedspread though.. I didn't see a blanket ? I didn't see a latch inside the door for added protection ? I really didn't like the chairs & ash trays outside each room. While I understand they serve a purpose, it encourages people sitting out there that I have to walk past to get to my room & that felt very creepy. I came in late & I had to park far from my door & walk by several guys just sitting out there watching people. Of course, I first if in the car & had to go walk past them again just to go back out to the car. I decided to stay someplace else the following night.
Three day stay - room tidied, beds made, fresh towels each day. Location. Nothing within walking distance.

Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project
"Looking through the microscope and seeing the chytrid organism present on these animals with my own eyes was devastating. I knew this meant we were already behind. This meant that the animals we were treating could very well be the last members of their species unless we act fast to get back out there and save as many more as we can from the wild."
-Dr. Eric Baitchman, Director of Animal Health and Conservation Medicine, Zoo New England
Since 2006, Zoo New England has been committed to amphibian conservation efforts in Panama. The institution is now helping to lead a new consortium of partners to expand the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project. Dr. Eric Baitchman, Zoo New England Director of Veterinary Services, is the lead veterinarian for this vital conservation effort.
During a visit to Panama in November 2009, Dr. Baitchman identified chytrid organisms on frogs collected from Cerro Brewster in Panama's Chagres National Park. This discovery prompted a huge coordinated effort for all of the Project partners to immediately come together and build a new space at the Summit Municipal Park in Panama City to house more frogs and save them from imminent extinction. In just a few short months, these species may not exist anywhere else in the world other than the rescue facility. Louise Rollins-Smith, one of the world's leading amphibian immunologists, sees potential use for these frogs in HIV treatment.
The Amphibian Crisis
After thriving for more than 360 million years, one third to one half of the world's approximately known 6,000 amphibian species could go extinct in our lifetime. The amphibian crisis has been called "the biggest mass extinction in the environment since the dinosaurs."
Amphibians are severely affected by habitat loss, climate change, pollution and pesticides, introduced species, and over-collection as food and pets. While habitat loss is a major threat, the most acute threat is a fungal disease called chytridiomycosis, caused by a parasitic fungus known as amphibian chytrid. Throughout the past 30 to 40 years, this deadly disease has quickly spread to hundreds of amphibian species across the planet.
Chytrid is currently unstoppable and untreatable in the wild. In the environments where it thrives, the fungus can kill 80 percent of the native amphibians within months, leading to widespread amphibian extinctions.
Amphibians are very sensitive to changes in their environment and are among the first species to be affected by environmental stressors. They depend very heavily on environmental quality and water quality.
The decline of amphibian populations in the wild serves as a potent warning to other species, including humans. All ecosystems are incredibly interconnected and the disappearance of amphibians can have grave effects.
About the Panama Amphibian Rescue & Conservation Project
Zoo New England is one of several institutions working to save amphibians from the brink of extinction in the eastern region of Panama—an area rich with diverse amphibian species. A host of experts including Zoo New England, Africam Safari, Panama's Autoridad Nacional del Ambiente, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Defenders of Wildlife, El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center, Houston Zoo, Smithsonian's National Zoological Park, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and Summit Municipal Park have pooled their energy and resources to form the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project (PARC) to protect a number of species from complete loss.
Eastern Panama is the "front" of the chytrid wave as it spreads across Latin America. PARC partners are racing to stay ahead of the wave, in order to save those species that are in most critical danger as the disease advances.
The Project consists of three distinct and complementary parts: the ongoing operation of El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center in western Panama, run by the Houston Zoo; the Amphibian Chytrid Cure Research Program at the National Zoo in collaboration with Vanderbilt University; and the construction and operation of the new Summit Park Amphibian Rescue Center in Panama. One "amphibian rescue pod," a biosecure, modified shipping container that will house the first rescued species from eastern Panama, was previously purchased by Zoo New England and sent to the site.
Read Panama Amphibian Rescue & Conservation Project's Annual Report
PARC's Inaugural Expedition
Amphibian abundance in the eastern region of Panama is critical to amphibians as a whole. This area is known to contain at least 121 amphibian species (61 percent of all the amphibians of Panama) and to be a stronghold for at least 50 to 60 species listed as "critically endangered," "endangered" or "data deficient" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
During the inaugural expedition in November 2009, members of the PARC Project discovered that some of the frogs collected were already affected by chytrid fungus.
The purpose of the Project's first expedition was to collect living specimens of critically-endangered frog species for captive breeding before they became affected by chytrid fungus in Panama. The rescue mission, led by Dr. Roberto Ibanez and Mr. Edgardo Griffith with support from all of the partners, collected approximately 20 harlequin toads (Atelopus limosus) and 20 treefrogs (Hyloscirtus colymba) under brutal field conditions at the peak of the rainy season from Cerro Brewster in Panama's Chagres National Park.
These two species were kept at the Summit Municipal Park in Panama City while other rescued species were taken to the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center.
When the animals arrived at the rescue facility, several frogs were already showing signs of illness and many more developed signs in the following days. Investigation by the Project veterinarians, including Zoo New England's Director of Veterinary Services Dr. Eric Baitchman, identified these animals to be infected with the amphibian chytrid fungus. Samples were further examined by Dr. Roberto Ibanez at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the chytrid fungus was confirmed.
A 10-day treatment protocol to eliminate the fungus called for all the collected animals being bathed in a medicated solution for 10 minutes a day. This is a standard protocol for animals that are collected from the wild, due to the risk of chytrid pathogen; once the organism was actually identified in these animals, this treatment became all the more vital. Animals actively showing signs of illness also receive intensive supportive care to help them survive the course of treatment. The chytrid organism attacks the skin cells of amphibians, which can be quickly lethal for an animal that relies on its skin for the majority of respiratory function, hydration and electrolyte balance. Veterinary care for afflicted animals includes continuous fluid therapy to maintain hydration and replace electrolytes as well as antibiotic treatment to protect against other infections that may take hold after the loss of the skin's protective barrier.
The discovery of amphibian chytrid on the frogs at this site means that time has nearly expired for at least four species of frogs that do not live further east than Cerro Brewster and have been extirpated at all their other known sites.
Why Are Amphibians Important
Pending the extinction of amphibians, one of the most notable effects on humans would be the loss of amphibian-related medicinal potential. Scientists worldwide are studying a number of secretions emitted from amphibians' skin. The animals themselves use these secretions to communicate with each other, to find mates and as defense against enemies. For humans, these chemicals can mean breakthroughs in medicines, including antibiotics and possible cancer-fighting drugs. In fact, studies with antimicrobial peptides in amphibian skin by Dr. Louise Rollins-Smith, one of the world's leading amphibian immunologists, has potential use in HIV treatment.
What is Zoo New England Doing
Since 2006, Zoo New England has been committed to amphibian conservation efforts in Panama by sending staff to assist in this important conservation field work as well as donating needed supplies. The Zoo has worked in partnership with the Houston Zoo with a focus on rescue, treatment, captive breeding, research and education programs developed to safeguard threatened amphibian species.
Zoo Director of Veterinary Services Dr. Eric Baitchman has made several trips to Panama in recent years to assist with these vital conservation efforts. Through the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project, Zoo New England will provide all aspects of veterinary oversight including leadership in developing protocols for quarantine, biosecurity, treatment of amphibian chytrid, treatment of common ailments and nutrition studies that might affect the captive collection.
Zoo New England will also take responsibility for training interested veterinarians from partner institutions, as well as Summit Municipal Park's resident veterinarian, in principles of amphibian medicine.

text: I'm going to be towing my 93 Allante across country in a few weeks most likely using a tow bar with 4 wheels on the ground. I've been thinking about how I can do it without destoying the transmission. I found a company called Remco which sells an Axle Lock which disengages one axle (right side). They are very expensive and I'm probably only going to tow my car once so I was thinking why not just remove one axle. I want to remove the left side axle. I've never removed the axle on this car but on my 88 Eldorado, it was not a difficult job with the correct tools. Any feedback and comments will be appreciated.

In today's post I'm addressing a question I'm asked often pertaining to Internet Marketing… and that is "can anyone succeed?"
The answer is a resounding YES. Anybody can succeed with internet marketing BUT only if they really want to and possess the following:
1) The willingness to learn
2) Tenacity… the stubbornness to keep going even when the going gets tough.
3) Investment … both into yourself and a little monetary investment too
4) The strong desire! Not just a 'wishy-washy' kick at the can
5) Determination
6) Consistency
The above list is in no particular order… it's just the whole necessary package!
Internet Marketing is a REAL business and should be treated as one!
I'm not sure why, but so many people who want to get into this industry think they can jump on board and have instant results. The truth of the matter is … that's not the way it works.
Like any business you build, online or offline, you must be willing to learn as you go. You can't expect to jump in headlong and get instant results. You will always make mistakes but if you are willing to 'learn' you will eventually find a way to master skills that work and learn from the things that don't.
With that said however, small failures are actually learning experiences too and should be viewed as 'opportunities for improvement' as they help you recognize the need for making changes…particularly if what you are doing isn't bringing the results you envisioned.
Having tenacity is a huge part of Internet Marketing as well. Particularly is you have experienced failures or disappointments. Most people these days throw in the towel after their first failure, hence never stick with it long enough to make the changes and taste success.
It's a shame really because while there are not many guarantees in anything in life, there is one sure fire guarantee and that is: you will fail in your internet marketing endeavour or any other endeavour… if you quit!
Investing in your Business:
When I talk about investment, I'm really talking about investing time, into your own education more than I am referring to money.
Usually it's the 'investment of money' that scares people off… which to be honest I just can't grasp.
Why is it that most people fully expect to invest in offline businesses but when it comes to internet marketing so many people expect it's a free for all?
I'm not saying you have to invest a LOT of money. In most cases you don't have to. It is however imperative you invest in your learning.
Sometimes a good course can do you the world of good, and can shorten the learning curve by teaching you how to properly get set up and proceed. Sometimes these lessons are related to building an effective website, or sharing your information on various platforms, etc., they can save a world of frustration, particularly if you have never marketed online before and most of the time if you get the 'right' help, can help you START EARNING much sooner than if you battle through by yourself.
It is my belief that any entrepreneur should be willing to invest a sensible amount of money into their business. After all, this is not a game. This is a business… making sensible choices by purchasing valuable courses or paying someone to show you the skills you need can also serve you well throughout your whole internet marketing career.
Not only will you more often than not learn things you may have never known otherwise, you will also save a tremendous amount of time and frustration by learning the right way sooner… and avoiding the wrong ways!
Since I just mentioned TIME… lets talk about it.
I understand that in this day and age few of us feel to have enough time. Let's face it, we are all busy. I know I am. I have two busy children, a husband, a household to run and a very busy business that I need to nurture every day.
So many of my clients struggle with fitting everything in as well, and though we all have different lifestyles, they all find eventually by rearranging, there is always a way you can invest some golden hours into your business if you truly have the DESIRE to make it happen.
The thing is, if you consistently invest time into your business, and you are focusing on the 'effective' strategies to get your internet marketing business off the ground, the wheel will start to turn much sooner than if you sporadically spend a bit of time here and there… and operate your business in a loosy goosy fashion.
Taking the time to consistently build your business is huge. The internet is an ever-updating machine… and every little bit of information you put out there will get picked by the Search engines more often the more you do. So using your time effectively will pay back in spades even by doing a little each day.
Taking Action to Build Your Business
Even though you may be investing the time into your business, or even purchasing courses in order to learn, it's really easy to forget about implementing the things you've learned, so make sure you actually DO something and take action.
What I mean is you can become a professional student, yet never take action and use skills you've learned. Don't fall into this trap! (Says she who's traveled that road!)
Always learn and then consistently take action… otherwise you'll have all the knowledge, you just won't be using it… and unfortunately that does nothing to build your customer base.
Never Lose Sight of Your Desire:
Building a business can take a little time so it's imperative you stay in touch with your big why… which is your reason for having the desire to build a business in the first place.
There is obviously a reason you've been drawn to internet marketing … and that's likely to have more time, money and fulfillment. Whatever your reason is, hold on to it and know you can indeed achieve whatever it is you desire.
When things don't happen immediately, don't give up. Just continue to be consistent and never lose your determination. I truly believe that at the end of the day you will be compensated for your hard work.
So, how do I know Internet marketing Success is possible?
When I started in this industry just over 4 years ago, I had absolutely NO experience. I was not a techie (and I'm still not the best), and even though I knew nothing about the industry or even 'how' people were making it happen, I had a strong desire, determination and I was willing to learn and do whatever I needed to do to succeed.
Funnily, I did incredibly well in the beginning. Then a few things happened, and I lost my focus and started to dibble in my business only here and there.
I, like many people started chasing shiny things … you know all those tools and courses that promise the world?
I soon found I spent so much of my time stabbing here and stabbing there… that in the end I was so far behind it was scary… not to mention my results sucked largely!
Once I regrouped however, I realized the necessity for organization… both personally and on the business end of things.
I became totally organized around the house and started carefully planning my schedule and activities I would perform in order to use my time to the best of my ability.
I quit buying courses… not saying I am not a proponent of purchasing courses, but they need to be evergreen courses teaching solid and useful information that will serve you always.
Investing in courses that promise you instant results are not an 'investment'… they are just a money vacuum that will lie to you and send you on all the wrong paths.
I hired a coach… I thought… 'Hey' you never know" …
I, to this day can't even put a price tag on the way having a coach helped me forge ahead with vengeance. It just proved to me that with the right direction and learning the right things, plus having an accountability partner who had a genuine interest in my success was just the ticket to keep me on the straight and narrow.
I started furiously implementing and taking action. Sure I made a few mistakes but I recognized where I went wrong and made the changes.
I learned so much from my coach that I may have never learned otherwise and I continued to learn and implement, learn and implement like a frothing crazy woman.
The end result?
Well, I still market my business opportunity just because I love it… but to be honest I am now so busy coaching that my biz opp runs itself.
I believe because of my willingness to learn, I also just naturally learned a variety of skills, and eventually became so well branded and forged so many great relationships throughout the 'Webosphere" that people started approaching me and asking me for assistance. That's how I picked up coaching and subsequently became a certified life and business coach.
For me, internet marketing has opened so many doors and even though there have been bumps and grinds along the way, without this industry I would have never been able to lead the life I do today.
There are a plethora of opportunities available to anyone who wants to earn a very comfortable living. The thing is, you have to start somewhere … and it doesn't matter if you market a business as I did and still do, or whether you have a product, service or a business idea of your own. (As I also do!) 🙂
Internet marketing comes down to "using the internet to market". That means getting out there and performing the effective strategies to promote 'whatever' it is you want to do. And ultimately being found by the targeted individuals who want what you have.
It's all basically the same and there are no exceptions. Once the wheels start turning you will soon agree that there is no reason that those who have the strong desire for success can't create an incredible existence by learning the ins and outs of internet marketing the right way.
If you're struggling, get the help you need. The sooner you get on track the better.
I now work online full time from home on my schedule. I have clients all over the world. I manage my time so I can be available when I'm needed and I care not where on this cool planet my clients reside.
If I choose to get up at 5 am to take a coaching call, I can. I can always arrange my schedule so I can take a break later on if I need to.
Furthermore, I am available for my kids when they need me and I have plenty of time to do the things I want to as well.
If living a comfortable life style on your terms is what you truly desire, internet marketing can definitely repay you for your initial investment as long as you never give up and take consistent action each and every day.
Are there any other qualities you'd like to share when it comes to internet marketing success? Please leave me a comment below!

The former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United striker took to Twitter to vehemently deny claims that his ongoing injury worries are costing his new club dearly
Michael Owen has launched a scathing attack on reports that he has earned £7,000 for every of his 53 minutes of playing time for Stoke City so far this campaign.
Reports published in The Sun on Friday claimed the former England international's £25,000 pro-rata pay agreement amounts to three times the salary of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure - who is on a rumoured £220,000-a-week deal.
But, taking to Twitter, Owen dismissed the figures and slammed the report as "rubbish", before condemning the principles of the British media as a whole.
Stoke are 40/1 with Bet365 to be relegated from the Premier League this season
"My wage is heavily incentivised towards playing so contrary to all of the rubbish that is said and written about me, my wage is nothing like what is being reported.
"How they can make up figures and then write an article painting me in a negative way is shocking. No doubt our endearing press will get away with it and then move on to discredit somebody else."
Owen, who has managed just 53 minutes of first-team action this season, is currently out with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss the festive period for Tony Pulis' side.

The kickoff to the new recruitment season began a few months ago in July during Private College Week. Fast forward to Monday, September 16th, and the Admission Team started to kick into "high gear," visiting a large group of high schools, college fairs, etc. One of the most common questions during the recruitment cycle is: "Why should I choose MSOE?" Of course I can give well over 100 great answers myself, but now I'd like to kick that question to you. "Why choose MSOE?

Yikes, I can't believe I am reviving this just found thread from ancient times, but, I do have something to add.
As bizarre as this may sound, this is a true problem, which has happened to me at least seven times.
In my family's genetic makeup, there is a blood disorder called antiphospholipid syndrome, which has a variety of different isotopal variants, yet, the bottom line is that the immune system tends to recognize innocuous things as foreign, thereby destroying it's own cells.
My own experience is what was called 'missed abortions.' I had at least five pregnancies go terribly wrong, and, two almost tragic births.
The worst was an ectopic pregnancy, missed by a doctor while I was on vacation in a foreign country. Considering that I had lost the pregnancy, he did a D&C. After two weeks of rest, when I returned home my gyn was consulted, he did an exam...since I was still bleeding a bit; he saw no cause for alarm, and, sent me home. Two days later I returned, seeing another doctor. I was is terrible pain. Her exam revealed rebound pain; I was sent straight to the hospital. My tube had burst.
My first pregnancy was a fluke. Found out when I was already four months, having had periods in between. Delivered as an emergency 6 weeks early.
My last was an emergency also. It was 2 weeks until delivery time. Portions of this pregnancy was confined to bed, due to bleeding. Saw the doctor at 4:00pm. Doc said I was experiencing Braxton-Hicks (false contractions.) As I was leaving, told her i'd see her 'tonight.' It was then, and only then, did she do my first internal during examination. She said there was no dialation. Within 5 hours I started bleeding. Called the doc, took off for the hospital, less than two miles away. On the way there I hemorrhaged. An emergency C-section saved our lives. The doctor was so distraught, she never cashed the $3200 check issued by the insurance company.
This was not her fault. My body perceived my pregnancies as foreign objects, and in different ways, tried to abort them. Some unfortunate pregnancies end badly at full term for both mother and child, during normal delivery, with no warning.
It was only after my first son was diagnosed with this disorder, did all of this history have an explanation. He had a different isotype, it attacks different parts of his body.
So, I can attest that this is a true phenomenon.
Fetus' can kill you.

And in the Distance, Security Lights...
This morning a heavy fog rested over everything in Canton. As the streetlights and houselights traded for a murky version of dawn -- one thing remained constant -- the beauty of the bare branched trees swirling in mist. I spent my entire drive to work snapping photographs on my terrible little telephone camera -- there's something extra holy, I feel, about capturing beauty like this with broken down little machines.

Kids Programs at Buffalo Archery Club in Houston, Texas
In response to an inquiry regarding programs for kids at Buffalo Archery Club, I am posting this information:
Unfortunately, Buffalo does not have any set programs...for kids or adults. Buffalo is a club that archers can join so they can go out to the range and enjoy the facilities. We have a large practice range and a full 28 target field course. We put on one tournament a month from February until September (either 3D or field or FITA) and the public is welcome to pay the tournament fee and participate. Club members get a discount on the tournament fee. There are times when groups such as Big Brothers/Big Sister, 4-H, the Girl Scouts, and the Boy Scouts use the facilities for kids programs but those are staffed by those specific groups and by club volunteers. If you would like more information about the club or the facilities, please visit our website at www.buffaloarchery.org. Thanks.Georgianna Witt Braden

Sex with students? Is Terence Kealey as misunderstood as Juvenal?
A few weeks ago I had an email from a friend who works on Times Higher Education (THE) asking if I would contribute 500 words to their forthcoming feature on "The Seven Deadly Sins of the Academy".
I was tempted, but as my favourite sins (notably sartorial inelegance and procrastination) had already been taken, I gave it a miss. And when the article actually appeared last week, I hardly had time to look at it (except to notice a cheap pot shot at the complacency of nineteenth-century Classics by the multi-talented Simon Blackburn -- who should, in this case, have known better).
I hadn't realised that there was a storm about Terence Kealey's piece on Lust, till I was in Holland (doing some lectures and book promotion, I confess) and got an email from a man on the Evening Standard, asking me if I would like to comment on it -- largely because I had past 'form' on the issue of sex between students and university teachers. So I took a look at it.
"Clark Kerr" it began, "the president of the University of California from 1958-1967, used to describe his job as providing sex for the students, car parking for the Faculty and football for the alumni. But what happens when the natural order is disrupted by faculty members who, on parking their cars, head for the students' bedroom. . . . . Why do universities pullulate with transgressive intercourse? . . . The fault lies with the females." You can read the rest here.
It was instantly clear to me that this was SATIRE. So I replied in these terms:
"I have looked at the Kealey piece . . . and thought it wicked satire, but certainly SATIRE (which is of course always meant to be offensive, thought provoking, and often intended to rebound on the very views it satirises . . . that's the point . . .try Juvenal, if you want an ancient precedent."
I then looked round the web to find all kinds of huffing and puffing about the vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham who regards sex with students as a "perk" of the academic profession. The Mail even managed to drag in my old article which referred to "the erotics of pedagogy".
Taking several more,careful looks at the Kealey piece, I was left in no doubt that he was aiming his darts at the ways crude sexual exploitation of female students gets justified, by satircally mimicking the locker room style in which it is discussed. Come on everyone, NO VICE-CHANCELLOR (not even of Buckingham) calls women students a "perk" unless satirically (and aiming a dart at precisely those assumptions). Honest.
It was however a dreadful experience looking not only at the press reports of all this but also the comments of the THE website (some of which were presumably written by academics, who showed no ability to read or understand satire AT ALL . . . maybe they were all computer scientist, but I rather doubt it). To be fair, a few did make the plea for humour and satire. But not many.
"It is appalling that THE permitted the deeply offensive comments about female undergraduates . . . to appear in its pages" said "gobsmacked".
"Anyone who thinks that thinks that female students are there in the classroom expressly as objects of the instructors viewing pleasure needs to retire (please)." opined 'sg".
"What is most shocking is the disrespect to his wife" added "Colemar".
"Smelling of old person like a pee-soaked slipper" quipped (?) "Dave".
For more, scroll to the bottom of this link.
God help the students these people (and the all the others like them) teach. I would much rather have instruction from Kealey myself.
The issue here is, of course (though hardly anyone observed this) is the perennial problem of fixing the ideology" of satire. When Roman Juvenal huffs and puffs about the immorality of his own late first/early second century Rome, is he conservative misogynist that he superficially seems to be, or is he holding up those views for ridicule. In Juvenal's case almost certainly the latter.
Likewise with Alf Garnett. Was he pillorying racism, or making it easier to condone?
The trouble with satire, as poor Kealey has found, is that the literal minded are always liable not to get it. And the satirist is inadvertently taken to support the very views s/he is attacking.
(The very cynical therefore may always suspect double bluff -- but I dont. here.)

Westley reveals 5-0 masterplan
Stevenage manager Graham Westley insisted he had told his players to "go out and win 5-0" after pulling off one of the greatest shocks in FA Cup history.
In the end the League Two side could manage only a 3-1 triumph against Newcastle with goals from Stacy Long, Michael Bostwick and Peter Winn. But it was enough to consign Newcastle to their most humiliating Cup defeat since they were beaten famously by non-league Hereford United in 1972.
Westley put it down partly to the psychology of a confidence-boosting team talk and said: "The focus before the game was how we would win 5-0. We established that if we did just 20% of what it would take to win 5-0 we would still win the game. Our game plan was to get to five. Three wasn't five but it was a decent result."

Scott Brown Invites Gay Activist To DADT Repeal Ceremony
Massachusetts Republican Senator, Scott Brown, took one more step out of the RINO closet last week, when he invited a notorious gay activist, and his "life mate," to attend the ceremony repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" legislation on gays in the military.
Antiques dealer Tom Lang was a key voice in getting Brown to change his vote in favor of repealing the quasi-ban on gays in the military, reports The Boston Herald. Brown, along with several other RINO Senators, initially voted down the lifting of DADT on technical rules when it was attached to a military spending bill.
"We're dealing with a statesman here, not a puppet. I respect the man," Lang was quoted as saying about Brown.
Lang is the founder of KnowThyNeighbor.org, which listed the names and addresses of all 170,000 signers of a 2005 petition to get the Marriage Amendment, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman, on the Massachusetts ballot, encouraging people to "pay them a visit."
Many signatories of the popular legislation were attacked and harassed at their homes and work; others were threatened with being fired and shunned from local gatherings, reports MassResistance.
Lang has expanded his KnowThyNeighbor campaign to other states where efforts to put similar amendments on the ballot were conducted. He has also led many other violent attacks and instigated intimidation tacticts against parents' rights groups and churches, according to MassResistance.
Brown's inviting Lang and his "life mate" to the Washington, DC ceremony is latest of an ever-growing list of disappointments to Tea Party activists who once championed him, mostly because he drove a truck while campaigning, his daughter was on American Idol and he had the ever-important "R" in front of his name.

Robert Reich, conceding the "worst roll-out conceivable," declares that Obamacare "seems to be working."
"After decades of rising percentages of Americans' lacking health insurance, the uninsured rate has dropped to its lowest levels since 2008."
"Meanwhile, the rise in health care costs has slowed drastically. No one knows exactly why, but the new law may well be contributing to this slowdown by reducing Medicare overpayments to medical providers and private insurers, and creating incentives for hospitals and doctors to improve quality of care."
But millions remain uninsured due to a variety of reasons, according to an AP report.
"Across the country, many of the uninsured just don't know much about the health overhaul and its March 31 deadline for enrolling in plans that can yield big discounts, researchers say."
Reich attributes much of the inertia to "misinformation."
"None of this is beyond repair, though. As more Americans sign up and see the benefits, others will take note and do the same."

So things didn't go as planned last year. Now is the time to take a fresh look at your business's plans, goals and the setbacks of the past year.
"It's the beginning of the year, and for many, that signifies a fresh start, a new beginning and a renewed sense of purpose. During this time, it's only natural to reflect on the past year and start to make those annual New Year's resolutions," says Candace Peters, marketing and communications coordinator of The National Society of Leadership and Success. But have a plan to achieve these resolutions, she says.
10 Steps To New Year's Success:
1) Identify your goal: You must know where you want to go in order to get there.
2) Have a plan: "Map out your action plan on paper. Include your action steps in your daily calendar, and break your long-term goal into smaller short-term goals," says Peters.
3) Think ahead: "Consider the problems that may arise. Did you succeed in completing your New Year's goals last year? What contributed to your success or your inability to achieve your goal? Apply those factors to the current goal," explains Peters.
4) Know what's going on."Always have a hands-on approach with your manufacturers. If you cannot personally do regular site inspections for quality control, make sure you have someone who can," Richard Henningsen, co-inventor of the Blizzerator, points out. "Also, whether you have one or dozens of distributors, make sure they are qualified. Set minimum limits as to sales requirements based upon product sales and availability."
5) Protect yourself from your competition: "Never underestimate the lengths your competition will go to disrupt your business flow, borrow ideas and concepts and even product designs without permission. Protect yourself. Use NDA and non-compete documents," says Henningsen.
6) Improve your customer service: The goal is to make your customers happy. "Large or small, if your customers are not happy, you have no sales. Consumers don't care that you're having difficulties. They care that they have a problem and if you don't take care of their problem...they will remember that," add Henningsen.
7) Do your research, research, research: "If you don't know why something failed, you are missing a huge opportunity. What if a small tweak to the product or positioning makes all the difference?" asks Adam O'Leary, marketing and design consultant of Encite Marketing. Find the lesson in your failure. "There is a learning opportunity in everything," he adds.
8) Do you have proper promotion? Maybe your failure was due to lack of publicity and promotion. "It is unbelievable how many businesses do not promote their product or service correctly. Just because you have a successful year, doesn't mean you stop marketing and promoting your business," notes O'Leary. "You are competing for consumers' attention all the time and if you stop being top of mind, people will forget you."
9) Set realistic expectations: Of course it is great to dream big, but you have to take baby steps sometimes to get there. "Are the goals you set unattainable? Set small, achievable short-term goals and then set the next set.. This gives you confidence and motivation as you increase incremental and sustainable sales goals," says O'Leary.
10) Don't throw in the towel just because something didn't work one way. There may be a solution. Don't give up.
Turn Last Year's Failures Into This Year's Successes

The course will then turn to the issues that parties and courts have encountered in administering bankruptcies across national lines. Finally, the course will examine a number of ongoing international efforts to harmonize the laws that govern domestic and cross-border insolvency cases, including new Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings, and the UNCITRAL Legislative Guide on Insolvency.

What To Pour For Turkey Day
The turkey is ordered; the menu is set. Now what to wash it all down with? Choosing wine for the annual Thanksgiving feast can be vexing. Turkey is about as versatile a main course as you could hope for, pairing well with both red and white wines. But when it comes to cranberry sauce, sugary yams, and other side dishes, things get more complicated. The tart or sweet nature of some accompaniments can clash with wines that may be perfect for the rest of the meal.
Some general rules can help. Don't get hung up on red vs. white. It's more important to choose wine that's not too heavy and won't overpower the food you spent all day preparing. So go for medium-bodied wines: Pinot noir is especially versatile. Calera makes a Burgundy-style pinot noir from California, a great value at $14.95, says Roberta Morrell of wine merchant Morrell in New York. Any young and fruity red, such as a Beaujolais or Rioja, is a good all-around choice.
For white, Morrell suggests something "meaty," such as a Châteauneuf du Pape. Some wonderfully rich whites have a minerally, herbaceous edge that can cut through the cacophony of flavors on the table. Try a Pouilly Fumé -- La Ducette makes a nice one for $23.95 -- or a Savenniéres, produced from the chenin blanc grape.
If you're serving a heritage turkey or a game bird such as duck or goose, you can go for a more full-bodied wine. These flavorful fowl hold their own with a syrah, Barolo, or zinfandel. Or check out River Wild Winery's Turkey Blend ($14). A mix of zinfandel, grenache, and petit syrah, it's one of four blends created by the winery to complement wild game. For more delicately flavored fowl, such as pheasant, opt for an equally subtle wine, such as a light red from Burgundy.
The best strategy for side dishes is to either mirror or contrast the main flavors. Yams would be well served by a sweet, crisp German reisling. A tart, acidic cranberry dressing would go well with a wine whose acidity stands up to it, such as a Cabernet Franc from the Chinon region of the Loire Valley.
Then don't fret. Just enjoy the meal.

Two-Year Degrees Starting Off Well
amarillo, Texas - A recent study finds that college students getting an associate's degree or certification often start out making more money than those with a traditional four-year degree. The two-year programs usually allow for training in skills that can be useful as soon as they're completed, and there is high demand for students in certain programs. Amarillo College President Dr. Paul Matney told us that those fields are a bit more rigorous but have very good compensation after graduation. It's important to remember, however, that more education will help improve your future earnings. The overall picture favors those with the more time spent in school. Plenty of those two-year students transfer to four-year colleges, such as West Texas A&M to finish their degree and they have a good understanding of college work at that point. Also, many former students will come back to Amarillo College to finish the four-year degree.
The study can be found at http://money.cnn.com/2013/09/04/pf/college/college-degrees/index.html

Dutch journalist Myrthe Hilkens discusses modern day slavery and the exploitation of the poor by multinationals in the Low Labour talk show with director Guillaume Suon (The Storm Makers) and expert Gea Wijers (Free University) about trafficking in Cambodia and with director Khadija Al-Salami (I am Nojoom, age 10 and divorced) and Shirin Musa (Femmes for freedom).
Worldwide, the number of slaves has increased to unprecedented levels. According to the Global Slavery Index, 29.8 million people are currently living as slaves, including victims of human trafficking (e.g. girls that end up in the sex industry), forced marriages and child exploitation. In quantitative terms, slavery is most widespread in India, where 13.9 million slaves live.

The Future Of Office Space: Interview With Campbell McKellar
Loosecubes is leveraging trends in technology and work lifestyles by developing a co-working community.
Upon hearing about Loosecubes' website re-design, PSFK caught up with founder, Campbell McKellar, to dig deeper into how her business capitalizes on trends that are shaping how we work. Read the interview to learn more about Loosecubes and important cultural shifts that that reflect how quickly our office environments are changing.
Tell us about your company and the problem you are solving for.
Loosecubes is the world's largest community marketplace for shared workspace with almost 1,700 spaces in 350 cities and 47 countries around the globe. We connect business owners who have an extra desk, couch, conference room, etc. with freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business travelers in need of an inspiring place to work. Starting a business or working remotely can be really lonely. I've been through it a couple times. It's hard to find a productive and affordable place to work on an ad hoc basis. It's even harder to find one full of people you'd like to spend happy hour with.
Our goal is to reinvent the office for today's workforce. We're mobile, we're social, and we're passionate about our work. I want everyone to make new "work friends" by working in Loosecubes with other great people. We're bringing the concept of co-working everywhere: to company offices (Rickshaw Bags, TaskRabbit, Rocketboom), home offices (Red Paperclip Rooftop and Patio), art studios (Con Artist Shared Artist Workspace), even commercial kitchens (Bakery Rental Share)!
Tell us about your website redesign; how has the website experience been improved?
We've shifted our focus to the people that work in the spaces and not just the spaces themselves. Members in search of spaces can now connect Loosecubes to their Facebook accounts and receive recommendations on places they might want to work based on their real life friends. In addition to that, hosts can connect to Facebook to receive recommendations for Loosecubers they might want to invite to cowork with them at their spaces. Other highlights include reservation payments via credit cards and Paypal, the option for hosts to offer discounts to friends or deals to Loosecubers they'd like to meet, and a heavily improved search function complete with multiple filter options.
We really took the time to listen to user feedback and worked hard to improve the user experience based on what we were hearing. Now it's easier than ever to find a space, book it, and get to work. We've got a lot more that we want to do with the product, but this redesign has been a great first step!
How are our ideas about the workforce changing?
Cloud technology, the recession and an increased presence of women in the workforce have created a huge shift toward flexible and location independent work. It's a story we've heard 100 times, but what's crazy to me is how much it's changed – and how quickly. According to research, 62% of American companies allow their employees to work remotely. 57% of US companies allow some form of flex time. Today there are 42 million freelancers & contingent workers, according The Freelancers Union. Another recent study said by 2020, 40% of the US workforce will be contract based. And it's only going to accelerate. Elance stated that 83% of millennials view freelancing as a part of their career strategy. The producers of The Office did a study that said that 58% of people in the UK think the traditional office will be extinct by 2021. Clearly work has changed. It's time for the office to catch up.
What tactics and strategies have you employed to grow your community and supporters?
We live our own model (or eat our own dog food as some might say) by hosting Loosecubers in our office every day in Brooklyn. People come in, see our culture, see what we are trying to create. They tell their friends, blog about it, and in some cases even refer us to other freelancers or start-ups we might be interested in working with.
We've done some direct outreach to companies and co-working spaces that we think are a perfect fit for the community. Twitter is an extremely useful tool for us, and keeps us engaged with our community on almost a 24/7 basis. We've been a bit underground for almost a year, but with our new site, we're ready to spread the word!
Where do you go to find inspiration?
Some instrumental reads are: Seth Godin's blog, Stephen Johnson's Where Good Ideas Come From, Richard Florida's Rise of the Creative Class, Julie Burstein's Spark: How Creativity Works, and Workisnotajob.com. I'm also a huge fan of Blind Melon – Change. Most of all I am inspired every day by our team and the members of our community I meet coworking in our office in Brooklyn and whenever I travel.
We believe the world of work should look different. With our growing community, we're getting closer every day.
Thanks Campbell

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A Westbrook woman charged with allowing her boyfriend to sexually assault a teenage female relative has backed out of a plea agreement and will stand trial instead.
Holly Morrison was in Cumberland County court on Tuesday for what was scheduled to be a change of plea and sentencing hearing.
The Portland Press Herald reports that the 34-year-old Morrison's attorney told the judge that her client had changed her mind.
Morrison has pleaded not guilty to three counts of gross sexual assault and three misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Prosecutors allege Morrison was present when her boyfriend assaulted the teenager three times last fall. The boyfriend pleaded guilty and is in prison.
Morrison's trial is scheduled to start July 14.

Syria's opposition groups strike unity deal against Assad
By Rania El Gamal and Regan Doherty
DOHA (Reuters) - Syria's fractious opposition finally put aside fierce arguments to rally behind a new leader within a new coalition that its Western and Arab backers hope can topple Bashar al-Assad and take over the country.
After days of wrangling in Qatar under constant cajoling by exasperated Arab, U.S. and other officials, representatives of groups including rebel fighters, veteran dissidents and ethnic and religious minorities agreed on Sunday to join a new assembly that can form a government-in-exile. They unanimously elected reformist Damascus cleric Mouaz al-Khatib as its president.
Khatib, a soft-spoken preacher who was once imam of the ancient Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, immediately called on soldiers to quit the Syrian army and on all sects to unite.
"We demand freedom for every Sunni, Alawi, Ismaili (Shi'ite), Christian, Druze, Assyrian ... and rights for all parts of the harmonious Syrian people," he told reporters.
It remains to be seen whether the Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces can overcome the mutual suspicions and in-fighting that have weakened the 20-month-old drive to end four decades of rule by President Assad's family.
But for allies who see it emulating Libya's Transitional National Council, the deal was welcome on a day when Israel fired a missile after a Syrian mortar bomb hit the Golan Heights and Assad's air force strafed along Turkey's border.
"We will strive from now on to have this new body recognised completely by all parties ... as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people," said Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim of Qatar, an important supporter of the rebels.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu said there was "no excuse any more" for foreign governments not to support an opposition whose internal divisions had given many pause. Continued...

School bullies would be deprived of their bus passes and P-plates and their parents would face fines under the Australian Motorists Party's plan to tackle anti-social behaviour in Canberra's schools.
Ginninderra candidate Chic Henry says that the party's education policy also calls for a greater role for physical education, efforts to improve numeracy and literacy and more trades skills to be taught in the territory's schools.
The party has also adopted the Canberra Liberals' policy of boosting taxpayer contributions to private school to 25 per cent of government school funding.
Mr Henry said a cornerstone of his party's approach to education would be a hard line on school bullies, including children engaging in online or telephone harassment.
''To be effective, we will bring together the community, families, as well as teachers and school administrations as well as seeking professional advice to collectively find solutions,'' Mr Henry said. ''We must also develop strong, recognisable consequences for bullying and continuing bad behaviour of students and we must involve families and the police when necessary.''
The former Summernats promoter said that the motorists would introduce serious penalties for children, and their parents, found to be school bullies.
''When a bully is proven to continue with this action, penalties must apply that are effective,'' Mr Henry said.
''Removal of liberties and cancellation of bus passes and in extreme cases, a delay in the opportunity to obtain a driver's licence is a start, followed by fines passed on to parents through the court system. Such penalties would also apply to acts of bad behaviour and vandalism.''

Today in Milligan History
an ongoing project of Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society
Good day, Milligan!
Proverbs 26:13 – A sluggard says, "There's a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!"
This is Tuesday, November 26, 2013, and on this day in Milligan history . . .
1903 (Thanksgiving Day) Milligan College President Josephus Hopwood (1843-1935) challenged the student body to put the Golden Rule into practice. The students had only an ordinary meal this Thanksgiving Thursday at 1:00, and then several groups of students carried twelve packed baskets to needy families. "In the evening assembly," reported Hopwood, "all agreed that this had been the happiest Thanksgiving of their lives." Josephus Hopwood (1843-1935), A Journey through the Years: An Autobiography (St. Louis, MO: Bethany Press, 1932), pp. 102-103.
1950 On this Sunday, as on most Sundays in the Autumn of 1950, several area pulpits were filled with Milligan faculty, administrators and students doing the preaching. Joe Sutherland (1952) was preaching at Central Christian Church in Jonesborough; Marshall Leggett (1951; president 1982-1997; Fide et Amore), at Union Church of Christ; Mel Knapp (1953) at the Wood-Howell Christian Church in Virginia; Bob Platt (1952) at First Christian in Jonesborough; Albert Zimmerman (1952) in Cumberland, KY. Jerry Holmquist (1952) was Youth Director of First Church, Bristol; and Tom Archibald (1952) was music director for Fourth Church, Johnson City. The Stampede, November 22, 1950.
1954 Milligan College chemistry professor Lone L. Sisk (1900-1994, Fide et Amore, at Milligan 1948-1979), delivered a paper, "Academic Preparation of High School Chemistry Teachers" at the Tennessee Academy of Science in Nashville, TN.
1956 President Dean E. Walker (1899-1988; Fide et Amore; President 1950-1968; Chancellor 1968-1988) announced at Founder's Day activities that Milligan College had accomplished its goal of raising the endowment to $300,000. The Mill-Agenda, Vol. 5, January-February 1956
1959 The Milligan College basketball Buffaloes had their work cut out for them. They played a team made up of Milligan alumni, but what a team they faced! Playing for the "old men" were Al Covell (1958), Dennis Greenwell (1957), Delmer "Del" Harris (1959), Roger Sizemore (1959), and Sonny Smith (1958). All five had been outstanding Milligan players. Smith and Harris went on to make careers of basketball, Smith as a college coach (ETSU, Auburn University, Virginia Commonwealth University), Harris as an NBA coach (Utah Stars, Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls). Smith scored 28 points; Harris put in 14. The Stampede reporter noted that the alumni had "a little trouble with the length of the floor," which might explain why the student athletes pulled off a victory: 100 to 82. All 13 men on Coach Duard Walker's (1948, Fide et Amore, at Milligan 1951-2001) squad scored, led by Terry Black (1962) with 20 points and Lew Taylor with 14. The Stampede, November 26, 1959; December 18, 1959; The Buffalo, 1960.
1964 (Thanksgiving Day) Thanksgiving at Milligan College was Thanksgiving AT Milligan College. Though classes did not meet on that fourth Thursday in November, they resumed the very next day. Students did not travel to distant homes for the holiday. Thanksgiving Thursday began with a morning worship service at Hopwood Memorial Christian Church. The day became festive with a "bountiful meal prepared by Mrs. [Sadie] Ritz and her staff," and the evening saw the Varsity-Alumni basketball match and the Senior Class Play." The Stampede, November 25, 1964, p. 3
1965 "Songfest" got underway in Cheek Hall at 7:30 p.m. Lee Magness (1969) organized the freshman class's effort. The sophomore leader was Carolyn Clark (1968); Gayle-Sue Harrison (1967) coordinated the juniors. The Stampede, November 25, 1965, p. 2.
2007 President Donald R. Jeanes (ΦΑΘ, 1968) announced that Milligan was the recipient of a $139,400 three-year grant from the Jessie Ball duPont Religious, Charitable and Educational Fund to help support the college's Diversity Services Program. The grant would provide the necessary programming and support essential to the long-term sustainability of diversity: campus programming, guest lecturers and speakers, professional conferences and training for staff, supplies and special events. Jeanes made special mention of the effort Nathaniel Moultrie and the Institutional Advancement Office had made to secure the grant funding. Campus-wide e-mail, November 26, 2007
2007 Milligan's Service-Manager for Facilities Jonathan Robinson (1993) announced two new appointments: Scott Ritchie joined the Milligan staff as plumber, and Jerry Lyons as carpenter. Lyon's wife Wendy Edwards is a 2007 alumna of the Masters of Education program.
2012 Funeral services for Melissa Dahlman (1981), wife of Milligan College Associate Professor of Communications Simon "Jim" Dahlman, were held at Hopwood Memorial Christian Church. Prof. Bruce Shields (1959) read Psalm 103 and led in prayer; Prof. Tim Dillon (ΦAΘ, 1975, at Milligan since 1982) led the congregational singing accompanied by Prof. Patricia Magness (1969; Fide et Amore; at Milligan 1984-2012); Ben Lee (1999) read from Romans and the Gospel according to John; Hopwood pastor Tim Ross (1980) delivered the eulogy.

On April 16, 1984, as Henry Kissinger spoke to the Club about a bipartisan report on Central America he chaired, rowdy demonstrators gathered both outside and inside the meeting, protesting, among other things, U.S. involvement in the mining of Nicaraguan ports. During his talk, Kissinger denied any inside knowledge, but endorsed the policy and joked about the protest saying "…few people can unify the American people like I can. I have a great constituency of nuts on the left and an equal constituency of nuts on the right."
Kissinger has remained active in U.S. foreign policy, continuing to outrage people across the spectrum. This March he wrote, "The Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side's outpost against the other – it should function as a bridge between them." This outlook is consistent with his Cold War advocacy of détente, yet might sound to some as being remarkably sanguine for a ruthless realist.

These two tiny houses, each measuring 640 square feet, sat next to eachother for more than 80 years. The one-bedroom cottages were smaller than any other homes in the working-class neighborhood of Albany, California, and it seemed the only way to expand either one was to build up or start over.
That was until artist Michael Shemchuk drove by. Now the house is a colorful, contemporary gem, with a stunning dining room where the driveway used to be.

this stuff is great. smells wonderful and leaves your skin super soft after the shower. i've been using it on my belly during my pregnancy instead of stretch mark stuff, and i'm sure it works just as well.

nice and light and non-greasy. only takes a little to get the job done, like soy sauce. i've had the same bottle for 6 months, and it's still more than half full.
VaFashionista's recommendation
I LOOOOOVE this stuff! This stuff smells yummy and leaves my skin moisturized and lightly scented with cocoa butter! I use this right out of the shower for optimal moisturization! If you haven't tried this gel, you need to go buy it!

I love using body oils in the winter, but the slimy afterfeel is just too much for a weekday morning. This lightweight gel provides all the moisture and sheen of an oil without the sticky mess. Plus, it smells great!

PERFECT for overly dry skin! I use this year round right after the shower...
