The mitochondrial genome of
Strepsiptera are an unusual group of obligate endoparasitoid insects
Females are especially strongly simplified (lacking in most typical adult characters such as wings, legs or mouthparts), and in most strepsipteran species, they remain in the living host until the end of the reproductive cycle. Conversely, males metamorphose in a typical holometabolan fashion; developing wings and a usual suite of adult insect characters (such as antennae, mouthparts and compound eyes) only to leave the host immediately in search of a mate; usually in the form of a female-containing host
Members of the strepsipteran lineage, Mengenillidae, are the sister-group to Stylopidia, a clade that includes all other extant Strepsiptera [
Insect mitochondrial genomes provide a useful medium to deepen and connect comprehension of microevolutionary forces of populations, like neutral drift and selective sweeps, to macroevolutionary events affecting species and/or deeper levels of divergence. The abundance of mitochondria in most metazoan cell and tissue types makes mtDNA an easily obtainable, universally plentiful marker, where a lack of introns or duplicate genes and non-coding variable spacer regions make amplification of mtDNA relatively uncomplicated

Specimen description
DNA was used from a small set of free-flying males collected in light traps, leaving little possibility for contamination through thysanuran host DNA. Nuclear and mitochondrial gene alignments from a widely sampled Strepsiptera taxon set (unpublished) confirm this. We also include 3 thysanuran genomes in Figure

Overview Edit
The Children and Content On-Line Task Force was established by the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) in 1998 to assist the ABA in investigating and advising on:
- (a) matters which might be included in industry codes of practice that will apply to online service providers, and the operation of effective complaints procedures;
- (b) national and international developments in the use of online content labelling services to protect children from content which may be unsuitable for them;
- (c) national educational strategies to promote effective and productive use of online services; and
- (d) international developments in relation to the regulation of the content of online services.
The Task Force was established primarily to assist the ABA in its consideration of paragraph b) of the Direction which deals with content labelling. Content labelling is one of the options currently available to parents and supervisors as a means by which they can limit access to Internet content which they do not consider appropriate for children, without affecting the rights of those who do not wish to use such tools.
On Jume 4, 1998 the Task Force issued its final report.

I have a question to Idiot Muslim Haters!
Poster Handle
Cpt. Spaulding
Post Content
Taken directly from the Koran and/or Hadith - look for yourself. Citations of the exact passages are provided.
The Koran is said to be dictated word-for-word by Allah himself, from the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad. Therefore, every word of the Koran is the word of God himself and every word is valid for all of time and cannot be questioned, changed, or reformed. This means that all "peaceful" Muslims have to reject Koranic literalism, but to do so means they do not accept the exact words of Allah. According to the Koran, this places peaceful Muslims in the same category as jewish people and Christians; they "must abide in the fire of hell. They are the worst of creatures." (Koran, Surah 98:6).
One of the goals of Muslims who follow Islam is to expand and spread the practice of Islam to all over the earth. While conversion to Islam is never supposed to be forced through torture, it can be pressured by coercion. Those who still refuse to convert to Islam can be severely punished or even killed (Vol 4, Bk 53, Hadith 392).
One of the biggest obstacles to American efforts to understanding Islam can be attributed to the Islamic and Muslim principle of "religious deception", in which Muslims are to deceive non-Muslims, toward the goal of advancing the cause of Islam. Today, Muslim groups employ tactics of deception and omission to give the impression that "Islam is a religion of peace". The prophet said, "War is deceit." (Vol 4, Bk 52, Hadith 269)
Lying, generally speaking, is not allowed in Islam. However, there are situations where it is acceptable and even encouraged. This concept, called Taqiyya, is a form of deception used to deceive an enemy (any non-Muslim). So, a Muslim is allowed to lie to prevent harm or protect themselves or Islam. (Koran, Surah 3:28)
In Muslim thinking, the world is divided into competing sides. The dar al-Islam (House of Islam) where Islamic law dominates, and dar al-harb (House of War) which is the rest of the world that Islam does not control, is how the world is viewed according to the Hadith. (Vol 4, Bk 52, Hadith 196) It is prescribed for dar al-Islam to fight and destroy dar al-harb and permanently incorporate it. Muslims in Western nations are called by Islamic extremists to overthrow the secular governments in which they live, all in accordance with Allah's command.

Tour date 28th April 2013
This is a great tour to see the parts of St petersburg that you wouldn't normally see but should as there is so much history and interest and Aleksandra makes it a great experience. If you do any tours here you should do this one.
You start at Narvskaya metro, which in itself is worth seeing as it is one of the top 5 mtero stations to visit for their ornate soviet designs, outside of which is Strike Square where "Bloody Sunday" took place in January 1903 then cross to the impressive Narva Gate which celebrates the Napoleonic Wars. Also in the sqauare is the Gorky Palace of Culture, a constructivst arts centre and next to it is a large soviet mural. After crossing the road you're in Yekateringor Park which is a bit down at heel but is an escape from the city and full of history. The partisan monument there contains the only monument to Stalin in the city, on the banner held by the partisans.
Back to the street and you'll see a vast statue of Kirov in Kirov Square and on on the way there is the first school built in the city after the revolution, in the shape of a hammer and sickle. And just further along the vast Kirov works.
Then back to the metro, from where you could or you could go on to the next two metros, Kirovskiy Zavod and Antovo, whihc are also well worth seeing.
Well worth is, thanks Aleksandra.
This is an excellent tour which explores all nooks and crannies of Kronsdadt with an excellent guide in Irina.
The trip from Staraya Derevna is by local bus for about 20 roubles which isn't bad for a trip of some 32 kms along the coast road and then across the barrage to the island.
There's lots to see and lots of history and Irina along with a local friend from the island provide a great excursion. The canteen's fine too with good cheap wholesome Russian and Georgian food.
You must do this trip!

While watching Face the Nation one Sunday faster this year, Bob Schiffer discussed the air hose industry, his mother and morals in firm. Like Bob, I expect it is a sad interpretation today, that we have to police businesses. Whatever happened to active into company to bring a necessary service, mortal allegiant to employees, and conformity promises.
It seems same no one present is attentive roughly doing fitting business concern or existence philosophy in the action. Our forefathers would be hangdog at what this social group has travel to. I cognize I am.
Chuck and I educate our students how to run a moral business, by someone ethical, and fashioning certain that all and sundry is blessed. We run our company exploitation the adage, "The customer is always right". We know, however, from looking at others in company both on and offline, that we are in the minority. For most it is all give or take a few devising monetary system. They don't thoroughness who they have to maneuver on, how abundant lies they tell, vindicatory "show them the money". As I hastate out in my nonfiction in relation to "The Almighty Buck", this should not be your simply lure for going into business, and if it is, you won't be in concern longstanding.
We see sites all day that you can't brainwave a touchtone phone figure on, an computer code for, they meet poorness you to rob it on reliance that they are on the up and up. Years ago, a conglomerate would never even reflect of in operation this way. Their name, address, phone booth number, saying etc. was exceptionally spectacular on everything they did. Unfortunately today, you can't pocket relatives on belief any longer. It's terrifically sad, but it seems if you do so, furthermost of the time, you will get burnt.
Years ago, companies were notable for their honesty, their integrity, and their keen products. They had to be to linger in company and support the favourable print they wanted to labor. This gave their corporation a flawless describe. As galore of you know, we come in from New York. Kodak, Grumman, and IBM were leading companies in fluff and upstate NY. If you got a job next to them you had a job for life, and once you retired you didn't have to dread. Today, relatives are losing their medical benefits, their pensions, their duration savings; due to businesses rational of merely the nethermost chain.
Every clip you amenable a weekly or watch the report present you comprehend around different business' dishonourable concern practices. They deep-fry the books, cart bonuses they don't disclose, piece they foresee organization to effort for less. There is something totally false with this see in your mind's eye. It likewise says to our early entrepreneurs, that this behaviour is alright, vindicatory don't get caught.
Like Bob Schiffer, I'd by a long way fairly go vertebrae to the case once businesses dealt with us in an philosophy deportment and didn't lonesome concentrate on protective covering their pockets, similar to nowadays. Also, approaching Bob, I devise what we want are varied teachings in our business organization schools. The viewpoint of today's teachers, of necessity to re-vamped to parallel the philosophies of old. What we inevitability is to "throw out the new, and transport posterior the old". As Bob said, if his mom was tutoring today, students would get a totally dissimilar estimation...an old fashioned one. Kudos to Bob's mom!

The theory is developed for the convective stability of a rotating spherical shell of fluid upon which is initially imposed a stable thermally induced shear flow. The fluid shell contains heating sources which are distributed proportional to the sine of the polar angle squared. Thus the analysis has a number of similarities to some geophysical flow situations. It is found that the properties of the solution are strongly dependent on the initial conditions. Thus to obtain further insight concerning the stability of the system numerical solutions are obtained at two shell thicknesses. The critical values of the Taylor number ($T$) and the Rayleigh number ($C$) are generally similar to those found in previous studies of rotating fluid shells. However the effect of the initial shear flow is to reduce the critical value of $C$ for a given $T$, below that found for uniform heating and an initially quiescent state. The flows obtained at the onset of instability are toroidal cells which vary in number dependent on $T$ and $C$. A maximum of six cells are found at large values of $T$. A significant effect of the initial shear flow is the occurrence of a rapid change in stability when the number of toroidal cells changes.

text: The original launch got a decent review from us, but we certainly weren't blown away, especially at the price. Maybe the new version of the Galaxy S III mini will fare better?We wouldn't bet on it. Samsung has announced that it is introducing a slightly upgraded version of the phone, but the upgrade is still a fairly niche one. The big/only change is NFC connectivity, which is a bonus if you like wireless file transfers (via Samsung's S Beam technology) or paying for coffee on your phone. But for everyone else, it's business as usual.The main problem with the Galaxy S III mini is the price point. While the phone itself is a pretty decent mid-range offering, you are looking at around £270 to secure one as a pay-as-you-go smartphone. That gets you a four-inch Super AMOLED screen, a dual-core 1GHz processor, five-megapixel camera and 8GB of storage.Worryingly, the addition of NFC might mean that price getting even higher. In Finland, it has been confirmed by one retailer that the phone with NFC will sell for 50 euros more than the standard model. As yet, there's no confirmation of UK pricing, but we fear the worst in light of that Euro price.If that doesn't put you off, white and blue are the colours for the new model, with both likely to be offered before the month is out.

Emma Roberts Dishes The Dirty Details On What It's Like to Kiss James Franco
Luckily for those of us who can only dream, she's feeding our imaginations with the inside details on what it's like to kiss the hunky actor.
In their upcoming film Palo Alto, Roberts got to enjoy one bedroom scene with Franco, who plays her high school teacher in the movie.
"It wasn't [awkward], because James is so lovely and he didn't make it weird," she told E! News. "But there was definitely a point where you're like, 'How much longer until you say cut?'"
Though it wasn't awkward, it wasn't super steamy either.
Emma confesses, "What people don't realize is people are always like, 'Oh, you got to makeout with James Franco!' I'm like, 'Yeah, and 30 people stood there and watched!' It's so not romantic at all."
Romantic or not, not many people get the chance to kiss those lips, so everyone's still jealous.
"Everyone [was]!" she admitted. "Guys, girls, everybody. My mom was asking about it. I've never had so many people ask me about a kiss that wasn't even real in my whole life ever."

I prefer generally clean and minimal fonts. For years I've been using several clean, single line fonts but there was always something missing. Sometimes the problem was font weight, sometimes additional styling. So I created Andromeda characters mostly by one line and least styling possible to get the perfect minimal look.
Andromeda is perfect for almost any purpose of graphic design; titles, futuristic projects, sci-fi poster and flyers, logo design, typographical compositions, neon effects, 3D texts, etc.
I hope you like it. Please rate if you like.

Lack of Motion
There's been way too many twitter update posts in a row. I have obviously been lacking in the blogging aspect of my life. I have been keeping up with my Flickr 365 project. There was one day when I was without my Canon Rebel XT. I had to resort to my Razr. Thankfully, that was only for one day. If any of you photographers (of any level) have not done a 365 project, you definitely should. It really forces you to think more about photography and also get you more comfortable with the idea of shooting everyday. I thought I was going to run out of ideas in a week and end up with over 300 plus myspace-esque pics. I think I may have only a few of those kind.
I have not abandoned my blog and I will be more active. This is why the twitter updates help me. I have a nice visual marker of how long I haven't been writing. There's a lot of things I want to write about and I will try to get to them tonight. Thank you to the readers who are still checking Wasted Continuum. And thank you Google Analytics for letting me know I still have readers! Remember, you can always add my rss feed (http://www.wastedcontinuum.com/feed/) to your favorite rss reader. I have used Sage (a Firefox add-on), FeedDemon (standalone application, maybe Windows only) and Google Reader (web-based reader). Currently, I'm using Google Reader. It's easy to use and I'm really liking the features.

Giveaway :: Sseko Designs
Sometimes the journey is really the lesson. So often, I find myself wishing for an adventure, a vacation, a journey. I don't dream of this merely because I need an escape, but more because I find that travel of any kind (even traveling around your own city) teaches us something. Whether we need the free time to decompress from a stressful day to day life or we want to get ourselves out of our comfort zones and head into the great unknown, the journey is usually the answer. You'll forgive the philosophical rant when you learn more about today's contributor.
Liz Forkin Bohannon took a journey to Uganda after graduating college. Her intention was to help a youth organization, utilizing her journalism and communications backgrounds. But, as well all know with most journeys, our intentions merely get us on the road. Sometimes the journey has other plans. For Bohannon, her journey culminated in Sseko Designs, a brand employing Ugandan women so that they can earn money to pay for higher education. Sseko Designs provides these women with "An opportunity to work. An opportunity to succeed and earn and save. To work in a place that was dignified and honoring. To work in an environment and with people who see beyond the now and have a vision for what they will become." From unique and beautiful sandals to hobo bags and scarves, each handcrafted piece is simply stunning. It's all about the journey. Indeed.
Sseko Designs is giving away one $50 gift certificate to one lucky winner! To enter to win, please answer the following question no later than Thursday, September 26th.
em>Please visit Sseko Designs and tell us: Imagine you are taking a quick weekend journey; what Sseko item would you pack and where are you headed?
Start checking the winner's box on Monday, September 30th, to see if you've won!
I'm heading to Montreal , and I'm taking the earl gray scarf and the jade hobo bag. Or maybe the macchiato scarf and the dove clutch. There are two days in the weekend though, so why not bring all of them?
I love the jade hobo bag. gosh, I would love a weekend away anywhere, but I would like to try Victoria BC by ferry
I'd head to Bali and pack the Jade Hobo.
I actually already OWN the Sseko sandals and adore them so much that I replaced the soles this summer when the previous pair wore down after 3 summers of near-daily use. Knowing how versatile they are (in one trip to Colorado, I wore them both to a wedding and then to hike the Great Sand Dunes), my beloved sandals would certainly end up in my bag, along with an assortment of straps to coordinate with my outfits (I have, like, 8 sets, hee). If we're playing total fantasy "what would I pack" though, I'd be adding the Dove Clutch to my suitcase, because that is just spectacular! (I've always been partial to the design of the Arrow Clutch, but the addition of a wrist strap would be a big deal for me.) As for destination, it almost doesn't matter, because I'd feel so stylish, but I would love to go visit my friend in San Francisco and see what fall is like out there!
i would pack the Earl Grey scarf and head to the beach.
Ever since I became a mom four years ago, I have only hauled around a massive diaper bag. In my dreams, I would go to Paris for the weekend (sans children) and I would carry a leather (be still my heart! Oh, sweet leather!!!) black (oh, so, sexy) Hobo bag (they are beauty incarnate… along with the saddle bags). It would perfectly fit my camera and the essentials for wandering around a big city and eating as many pastries as possible.
On a side note, I'm really inspired by your cause. I often worry about the women of the world and feel depressed at the challenges they face to overcome poverty and obtain education. What a beautiful thing you are doing.
I would pack the Ivory Square Scarf and head to the airport to pick a random location i've never been to. If I got a little cold on the plane I could cover my legs with the scarf, or wrap it tight around my neck and shoulders to keep all the heat in! Once I got to my location I could quickly use it to change up my look without having to have packed a lot of clothes. Bunched around my neck with a white tee and jeans for a laid back look. Tied on the handle of my bag for a splash of softness and sophistication. Used to wrap around my hair and hold it back off of my face in case it got hot. Or used to flash in the air to catch the attention of a passing cab! The possibilities would be endless would my little travel companion!
I would pack the Macchiato scarf and head to a secluded beach.
I'd grab the Espresso Accent Tote: Blue and head to Boston to visit family!
I'd definitely grab one of their hobo bags and road trip out to CA! Love their classic shape and beautiful leather!
I'd head to Hawaii with the Espresso Accent Tote and the travel wallet. I'd put my suit, money, water bottle, sunscreen, and whatever else I may need. Love the bags and scarves.
I love this question! I have two very different scenarios. If I am thinking practically then I would take my two sons on a train ride for the first time to Seward, Alaska so they could see the harbor and some animals…of course I would have to use the Carmel Saddle Tote instead of our hideous diaper bag.
In a fantasy world I would take a trip to Mission Bay in Auckland New Zealand to visit the fountain where I made a big wish three years ago. Beach combing in a pair of Mint Silk Sandals, Eggs Benedict, and a Silverlake Silk Scarf would complete the dream weekend.
I'd take the Macchiato Scarf to Dublin!
I love the dusty purple square scarf! I'd grab it & go to the coast!
i'd sling that earl grey scarf around my neck and take a drive down PCH.
I would bring the Safia Sandals when our family heads down to Chicago to meet up with other adoptive families (we all adopted our kids from Ethiopia 3 years ago, and we like to get together a few times a year so the kids can continue to see each other and grow up together!). I love that the sandals are African-inspired … my daughter always beams with pride anytime I wear something representing her original home! I'm sure her friends (and the other moms!) would love them, too!
I am visiting Destin FL soon and I imagine myself wearing the black sandals with a maxi skirt along the boardwalk!
I am taking the Purple square scarf to Concord, Mass. It would be the best accessory to any outfit in New England !!
I would grab the Espresso Accent Tote and head to Seattle. It would be the perfect companion for a coffee along the wharf <3
I would pack the apricot scarf, as a scarf can be used in so many ways to change an outfit! My trip would be to Quebelc City in the fall as it is beautiful and a fall tradition that had to be missed for the first year in many 🙁
I'd bring the black hobo with me to the White Mountains for fall foliage!
I'd be heading to San Francisco, and I'd love to take the Woven Voyage Blush Clutch to carry my change, money, ID, little items I may need as I walk around the city. The clutch is a great alternative to a large purse.
We are finally headed to Seattle! We keep putting off this trip even though we are only roughly 3 hours away! My new Grey Shibori Hobo is swung around my shoulder makes it easy for my Husband and newly walking 15 month old Daughter to watch fish fly at Pier 52, see the views ontop of the Space Needle and perhaps spoil my Daughter even more at the Archie McPhee toy store. No one would even know that my deliciously elegant, soft leather bag has taken the place of my ugly polyester diaper bag.
Monocca! The carmel leather obi accent tote bag! Are you kidding me? What else??!!??!? Perfection. (Unless you add the Earl Grey scarf. Then it's uber-perfection.)
(Okay. So I'm in the middle of taking my comprehensive exams in my graduate program. I needed a break. I might have a had a small freak-out when I saw the images on your website. It helped me remember life is beautiful. Took my breath away. Honestly)
I would visit the Chichi market in Guatemala while wearing the Kikoni sandals and Apricot square scarf.
I'd take the jade hobo and pack it with a few weekend essentials and go antiquing with some friends of mine.
Wow, I love all of your stuff! Gorgeous and awesome mission. I would take the coyote clutch and the apricot square scarf….and use the caramel studded tote to keep my bits and bobs together 🙂 I would take these on a road trip down the California coast, stopping in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur, and pausing at all of the scenic bends in the road.
In my fantasy I am driving up California to San Fransisco and I've packed the Macchiato Scarf to wear. I'm picturing a winter trip, and I can see myself walking into the War Memorial Opera House with the scarf over my head and I'm going to watch the Nutcracker (which I haven't seen since I was a little girl). I would love for this to come true!
The White Arrow Clutch in Espresso nearly gave me a heart attack! What a beauty! I think I'd want to pack it with a few essentials and take it a big conference coming up in Orlando. I volunteer with a local non-profit and they're having tons of speakers who are pretty big in the community-at-large fly in… I'm in charge of their travel arrangements and helping with the event coordination, so I want something beautiful, functional, and somewhat small to keep by my side. Just because you're in a room full of intellectuals doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style or sophistication!
I would put a few necessities in the Grey Shibori Hobo and hit the road! With no real destination in mind, I would crank up the tunes and just start driving and stop at all of the places along the way that look interesting. No time table and no agenda. Wanderlust.
I would pack the Dove Clutch along with the Earl Grey Scarf and head to the mountains of NC. The Jade Hobo would be perfect to carry them both in : )
I would pack my sseko sandals (LOVE THEM) with the Sheba Triangle accessory to make them pretty for going out! Grab the Dove Clutch and head to Seattle to visit my friend!
I would pack the Royal Blue Silk Sandals and head anywhere and everywhere! With these comfy, yet stylish sandals, I feel like I can trek across the world in them! With the secure straps, I wouldn't have to worry about them falling or failing on me either. Having already volunteered in the Dominican Republic, I would take a weekend getaway there. To relax with the people I miss and enjoy, and by doing service for an underrepresented community, I know these sandals would stick by me while building a fence or relaxing on the beach.
Someone did once say, "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world!" I would definitely conquer with each step in these sandals!
I'd grab the espresso tote with the blue accents and head to the ocean for a quick recharge. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, the Atlantic always sets everything right.
Definitely the Caramel Accent Tote: Bronze for a weekend home upstate to visit my family! I wouldn't need to bring too many things, but this bag is perfect for anything like a laptop, extra pair of shoes, change of clothes and my makeup!
I believe the turquoise hobo bag would be my choice. I love the splash of color it would give to any outfit.
How lovely to capture the talents of these lovely women. I believe we all have something to share!
I am heading to New Orleans with the Annaberry Silk Scarf.
I'd head to my secret place tucked away in Jamaica, and dance in the sand in nothing but a swimsuit, my new Sseko red sandals, and the peachy Hazelnut scarf tied around my waist or in my hair.
I would be heading up into the mountains with one of your gorgeous hobo bags to do yoga, meditate, and connect with myself. I need to remember to say "hello" to my own needs every now and again!
I kid you not I'm known as the bag lady at work. I come into the office with my computer bag, my lunch bag, my gym bag and my big ol' purse (sometimes with little bags hiding in it). So when the weekend rolls around and I get to go explore the local sites I want to be as close to bag free as possible. That Alder clutch wants to go on my next " bag free" adventure, it told me so.
I would pack the Earl Grey scarf to match my hair for a quick weekend trip to Chicago.
Heading to South of France….black hobo bag and ANY sandals – I can't pick one – they are too cute!!

In the Arms of Others: A Cultural History of the Right-to-die in America
Ivan R. Dee, 1999 - Family & Relationships - 282 pages
When, if ever, is life no longer worth living? When, if ever, is it right to withdraw life-support or hasten death? These questions which confront physicians, bioethicists, social workers, the children of aging parents, and sooner or later almost everyone now receive increasingly urgent attention in American society. Peter Filene s In the Arms of Others is the first book to set this dilemma into broad historical and cultural context. It is, in other words, a history of the right to die as viewed in the United States. With the narrative skills he has displayed in his fiction, Mr. Filene takes the reader into the lives and feelings of people who have struggled with the predicament of modern dying. Beginning with the nineteenth-century background and the rise of medical technology, he moves quickly to the landmark case of Karen Ann Quinlan, who became in the 1970s the macabre protagonist of a melodrama that crystallized the nation's consciousness and produced a legal benchmark. Mr. Filene explores the maze of bioethical arguments surrounding this and succeeding cases, and guides readers through complex questions with remarkable lucidity. Ultimately, he argues, we must acknowledge that traditional American self-determination is not sufficient to resolve terrible questions of life and death; what we need is an ethic of relatedness."

text: As scholarship students at Camden School for Girls, Kezia Marchant and Thea Brissenden became fast friends. But as adults, their interests - and friendship - soon diverge: Kezia looks forward to a life of domesticity with Thea's farmer brother, Tom, while Thea throws her efforts behind England's burgeoning suffrage movement. But when war breaks out in 1914 and Tom enlists to fight, Kezia and Thea find their lives taking unexpected turns, challenging their youthful ideals, testing their fortitude...and rekindling their friendship just when they need it most. As Kezia and Thea struggle to discover their purpose in a turbulent new world, Tom endeavors to retain his own identity in an army determined to obliterate him. Thoughtful and poignant, Jacqueline Winspear's wartime tale is a deft exploration of friendship, family, and the lies we tell to protect the ones we love. (KG)

Possible talking point: Dems want to have their cake and eat it too.
President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are promising a climactic clash with Wall Street, but there's a complication in their battle plan: The Democratic Party is closer to corporate America - and to Wall Street in particular - than many Democrats would care to admit...
The Republican Party is still emphatically aligned with business, but in most cases unapologetically so. For Democrats, the dance is trickier: How do you reap the financial rewards of corporate America without offending your core political beliefs - or your party's committed base?
Say one thing, do another?

You know, its easy to fall in love with a porn star. I mean it's not our fault. They're naked, sexy, and fulfill our fantasies right in front of our fucking faces. And sometimes it involves fucking someone's face, ironic :)
I started watching Mason Star and haven't really stopped watching him since. I'm serious...I'm writing this while watching him get fucked and my dick as hard as a rock. I mean above all, I'm still an avid porn fan despite writing about it for a living. Falling for Mason is simple...gorgeous face, defined body, sexy ass, and oh yeah - the bitch has a 10 inch cock, too ;)
All that is awesome, but it's the personality of Mason Star that is the most infectious. I was nervous as hell when I called this stud as he was my first phone interview, but the fact that I had rubbed more than a few out to him really sped up my heart rate. From the beginning, however, his genuine openness and his warm heart were evident. Before we even talked about his sexual habits, scenes, or even his bio, I found myself bitching to him about relationships and how being single sucks but is great at the same time. Mason actively listened and really cared about what I had to say instead of dismissing me right away. Yeah guys, its true; this is one porn star who has it all...beauty, brains, and he's nice on top it. Kinda sickening right? ha :)
Anyway, I promise we talked about sex. After all, he is a Cockyboys Exclusive Model. and since the relaunch of the site he's already been featured in a bundle of scenes. Jimmy Clay, Seth Roberts, Phoenix Saint, and Adrian Long have already been featured with Mason mixing up topping and bottoming. As much as this hottie loves to top, I think he really excels when he gets fucked.
Mason had a lot to say about Jimmy Clay in the two scenes he's done with him, one in which Mason tops Jimmy and another where Jimmy and Phoneix Saint fuck the shit out of Mason.
Mason: I hadn't bottomed in a while before my scene with Jimmy, I actually had to stop sometimes, not because of pain but because he kept hitting my prostate. He has a great dick.
When Mason had the chance to turn the tables and do a one-on-one scene with Jimmy, he really got to know him. "That boy loves to bottom," Mason added. " And you know what? He's great at it."
Mason also talked about his earlier scenes with Next Door. He had plenty to talk about when we discussed The Bangover, his scene which is featured on NextDoorBuddies. "Johnny Torque and Anthony Romero were great. I was supposed to be the bottom for both guys, but when Anthony's around, it's tough to deny him. He's a great bottom, too."
At Next Door, he also got to work with Rod Daily and Cody Cummings. Of course, he had nothing but great things to say.
Mason: When I did my scene with Rod Daily, I was very nervous. But he has a personality like me, and he made me laugh right away when we were getting to know each other. Laughter is the best thing, and it really allowed me to be comfortable, and we had an amazing scene. Cody was great, too. They were the complete opposite of porn star divas, and I'm glad I have not had to work with one (a diva) yet.
Mason and I talked on the phone for over an hour, and I'm glad I was able to
keep it in my pants for the whole time. It was difficult when we discussed his off-camera hobbies. What does a guy with a hot body who fucks on camera do to make money when he's not filming? You guessed it...Go-Go Dancing!!! You know that I had to get more details. According to Mason, "Porn is hands down easier than go-go dancing. There's a lot of work to be good at dancing. It's almost like a music video on a box. I like to dance to tribal music or top 40. I shoot once a month for Cockyboys, but I can't tell you the last free weekend I've had due to dancing, but I love it."
To show he's a real guy...he's single! We spoke about the kind of guy he would like to meet. "I don't really have a type. I am a very sexual person obviously with a weird sense of humor. I need a guy that has a brain and can make me laugh. Being able to hold an intelligent conversation matters more than sexual chemistry."
It's safe to say that Mason Star is an all-around fucking stud, and I'm glad i've been able to get to know the guy that makes me shoot my wad on a daily basis. I promise if you don't already know who he is, watch one of his scenes at Cockyboys, and you'll fall just as hard for him. Message him on Twitter, he loves to hear from his fans @Mason_Star ... FINALLY...I can finish jerking off now... Thanks for chatting with us, Mason :)

G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor is the title of a NES video game developed by KID and published by Capcom in the United States in 1992. The game is a sequel to the G.I. Joe video game released for the NES by Taxan in 1991.
Cobra Commander somehow survived the last time he fought the G.I. Joe team and this time he is plotting to use the long lost powers of the Atlanteans in his bid to rule the world. The game's format is similar to that of Capcom's Bionic Commando series with an overhead map of the various sub-stages, and bosses (Overkill, Cesspool, Firefly, Major Bludd, Destro) located at Cobra bases sprinkled throughout the game. Cobra Commander is the final boss at the end of the game once again.

The Sydney Kings will need more aggression and unity when they take on reigning champions the Perth Wildcats on Friday, coach Damian Cotter says.
"We didn't play smart," Cotter said of the Kings 86-81 loss to the Townsville Crocodiles on Friday. "We settled. We didn't look to get some early offence either."
The Kings led almost the entire first half thanks to an impressive performance from US import Kendrick Perry (14 points, nine rebounds) and consistent leadership from co-captain Ben Madgen (19 points).
But they struggled to maintain their focus in the face of a second-half Crocodiles surge and a massive individual effort from Brian Conklin, who ended the night with a game-high 30 points.
Cotter lamented the Kings did not show more of the aggression that helped them snatch an 86-83 win against traditional rivals Wollongong in the first round.
"You would like to think we would defend our home court a bit better than what we did," Cotter said. "We just conceded that in the second half."
Co-captain Tom Garlepp summed up the reason for the Kings' loss in a word: "Complacency".
"I think we cruised a bit," he said. "It's still a new group, too. That was our problem. That was something in the week we wanted to tighten up and we did it pretty well for a half.
"But it's a close league and any slippage in the little things and you're going to get worked."
Cotter continues to work on the team's adaptability, a quality he credited for their first-round win. The Kings at times struggled to deal with the dampening effect from the Crocodiles' towering shot-blocker, US import Mickell Gladness.
"It's about being consistent and respecting your opposition," he said. "When they take stuff away from you we've got to find other ways to score and get the ball in the right people's hands at the right time."
The Crocodiles now go into their Melbourne United match on Sunday with one win on the board, having lost their first two matches after taking out the pre-season blitz tournament.
Townsville coach Shawn Dennis said his team had made a pact at half-time against the Kings "that we were going to get this done."
"I gave them a right roasting at half time," he said. "The response could not have been better."
Dennis said the team was becoming mentally tougher and learning to better use their physical assets.
Townsville boast one of the tallest squads in the league and Dennis said they would look to further capitalise on their height throughout the season.
"We've got the length and size to be a great defensive team, even when we lose Mickell to foul trouble," he said.
Dennis stressed Gladness was not an offensive player and still coming into his own in his new team.

This one's for StingTalk.com. I appreciate the visits and comment (one of my rare comments). I decided to dedicate a blog to you guys, and this is my Navy Offense Remix. I've added a couple of plays that I had left out before, mainly because of the time element and the length. I try not to write dissertations, even if my favorite blogger does (she knows who she is).
This is the toss off of a counter motion. The right wing will fake a motion to draw the opponent towards a run to the left side. This is usually something you would work into your gameplan after showing a tendency to toss towards the side that you're motioning to. The wing would fake-motion left, and as soon as the ball is snapped would cut off the corner on his side. The tailback is going to catch a toss and run the ball on a sweep to the outside. Easy enough of a play to figure out.
Crossbuck gets more interesting. Your right wing is going to come in motion, and at the snap of the ball will lead block for the left wing back off of a fake to the fullback. The mesh point (hand off) will take place just outside of the left guard. There is a combo on the nose at the point of attack, much like on a typical iso. The wing (ball carrier) will come through the B gap and look to bounce outside to where there are less defenders at the second level.
This is a typical X-Reverse. The right wing will counter motion, but will continue his flow to help block the backside. The QB will fake to the FB here, and pitch out to the X coming around on the reverse. This play is easily set up by the high-motion/toss play you saw in part I. The blocking scheme is fairly simple.
This is a sample passing tree, but it gives you an idea of what positions will run which routes. The Y is the Tight End, for those who do not know. The HB is the 'halfback' or here the wingback. and the X is the wide receiver. The wing backs tend to run a lot of wheel plays, slants, post-corner and corner-to-post routes. The X will run just about anything from hitches to corner routes.
Hopefully this additional information is of assistance to your learning of Paul Johnson's offense. While this is not his exact offense or even taken directly from his playbook. It is in the same vain of the flexbone that is/was ran/run at Navy. Expect to see the fullback get a ton of carries, as well as the wings, and see the X-receiver involved in reverses, jet sweeps, and being a solid possession receiver. The QB will often rollout on waggle plays to work off the running plays in the series.

Your first competitor in Formula One is your teammate. Given the disparity of equipment, it's difficult to directly compare the talent of a driver from the big teams against a driver from one of the little teams.
If one compares AT&T Williams Toyota average lap times over the course of the first 11 Grand Prix races of this season, rookie Kazuki Nakajima is slower -- by over half a second -- than his teammate Nico Rosberg, who is in his third F1 season.
On the other hand, in the points standings Rosberg is 13th with eight points and Nakajima is 14th with eight as well.
The bottom line is that Nakajima is having a solid but not spectacular rookie season. He's scored points on four occasions, no easy feat given that the top three teams -- Ferrari, McLaren Mercedes and BMW Sauber -- generally fill the first six places in a race, leaving the other seven teams scrambling for the final two points-paying positions.
Nakajima made his F1 debut in the final race of the 2007 season, but he embarrassingly bowled over a Williams crew member when he slid into the pits too fast.
"It was a very bad mistake from me, but I think I learned from it," he said recently. "I take it a bit more caution in the pits now."
Nakajima redeemed himself with a sixth place in the 2008 season opener in Australia, but that race did not all go smoothly, as he collided with Robert Kubica and knocked the BMW Sauber off the track.
He followed that up with a pair of sevenths in Spain and Monaco and an eighth in Britain.
"I think it was a quite good first half of the season," Nakajima said.
"We had a bit of up and down in terms of results, but at least I scored some points, maybe more than I expected. From now until the end of the season I think it is going to be very difficult for me. There is still some room to improve myself."
One reason it will be difficult is that the Williams FW30 has not kept pace with the competitive midpack. The car's strength was on street-type circuits like Melbourne, Monaco and Montreal, but it wasn't quick on the more flowing circuits.
"We are fighting against Toyota, Red Bull, Renault," Nakajima said, "and they have been very competitive all season."
The Williams team is pleased with the progress of the 23-year-old Japanese driver.
"Nakajima doesn't say a great deal, gets on with it, has scored eight points, which is really rather good since he's struggling a little bit to go as fast as his peers," team owner Sir Frank Williams said, "but he's a very good team member, works very hard and is very intelligent."
Nakajima first drove for Williams in December 2006 as a tester, and in addition to racing in GP2, in which he finished fifth in the championship in 2007, he worked as a F1 test driver for Williams.
"He is on a steep learning curve," Williams technical director Sam Michael said last year. "He is fast and consistent. I have to say that he is really, really impressed me."
With Nakajima and Rosberg, Williams is the first F1 team to have two sons of F1 drivers as its drivers.
Keke Rosberg raced 114 times between 1978 and 1986 and won five times.
He was world champion in 1982.
Satoru Nakajima was the first full-time Japanese F1 driver. He competed in 74 races between 1987 and 1991, with his best finishes being a pair of fourths.
Keke goes to every Grand Prix as a commentator for a German TV channel. Satoru has attended only two races this year.
Satoru watched the Malaysian Grand Prix from the grandstands and never visited the pits because he didn't want to distract his son.
"It was good for me," Kazuki told ESPN.com. "I could be more relaxed."
The elder Nakajima also went to the British Grand Prix, where he worked for a Japanese TV station.
Neither father interferes with his son's daily driving activities.
"He gave me a bit of advice," Kazuki said. "Not for chassis setup and things like that, but things like attitude."
Kazuki was only 6 years old when his father competed in his final F1 season.
"When my father was racing F1, I was very small," said.
"Actually I never thought about my father's career. As the first full-time Japanese F1 driver, he had a very important job for the Japanese. Many people were watching F1 at that point."
Satoru Nakajima is still a star in Japan. He still has strong links with Honda, which backed him in F1.
Kazuki, meanwhile, is a Toyota protégée.
"When I started motor racing in Japan, there [were] two ways to have a career in racing," he said. "You could choose Toyota or Honda, as they have some scholarships or driver programs. I spoke to my father, and he suggested to me to try to be with Toyota because in that case I could prove that he did not have any influence. I can only do the job by my credentials. I was a Toyota driver throughout my career."
The fact that Toyota supplies engines to Williams is not going to hamper Nakajima's chances of driving for the team next year.
But he also knows that if he doesn't perform he won't be invited back.
"I have no idea at the moment," Nakajima said when asked if he will drive for Williams in 2009, "so all I can do is to do the best at the moment and push as hard as possible. Other people will decide at some point. But it is not up to me."
And, while your teammate is your first competitor in F1, the management at Williams takes into account the different levels of experience between Rosberg and Nakajima.
"Experience-wise, Nico clearly has an advantage because he has been driving F1 cars for much longer," technical director Sam Michael told ESPN.com. "But this is normal and expected as Kazuki has not even completed a whole season yet."
As for the remaining seven races of his rookie season, Nakajima's strategy is to get on with the job.
"I just want to keep my head down and do my best," he said.
