Life After the State Paperback
by Dominic Frisby
Have you ever had the nagging feeling that the problems the country faces are spiraling out of control, that the government has lost its way and that, despite its promises, nothing ever changes?
Well, you're right. In every instance where government gets involved in people's lives with a desire to do good, it can always be relied on to make the situation much, much worse.
Yet despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we imagine that a world without the state would be a wild and terrifying place.
With wit and devastating clarity of argument, Frisby shows in this book that human nature proves the opposite to be true.
Welcome to Life After the State. "Dominic Frisby has gone and done something extraordinary: written a page-turner on the economy. It's both readable and radical, a serious book that is, by turn, fascinating, alarming and contentious.
At times, the book makes you want to shout its message from the rooftops; at others, it just makes you want to shout.
Life after the State challenges so much of what we take for granted. It is a wake-up call for politicians, economists and us all, written with clarity, verve and, more than that, the restless passion of an intelligent, inquisitive malcontent. Read it." - James Harding, once editor of The Times now Director of BBC News and Current Affairs

Customer Reviews
Reviewer: Richard .S Rating
"I have absolutely no idea what some of these reviews are on about, as my frame is perfectly great! Not flimsy what so ever! Very sturdy and is amazing foax leather quality, so soft and the padding is lovely. I have mine in grey and looks perfect in the room. Honestly such a good frame especially for how much I paid for it when it was on offer.
I was worried about getting it because it has sprung slats but I have had absolutely no problems at all. I think some people install them upside down which in turn makes them fall out (my wife did that) so put them in so arches upward.
Thank you Bensons!!!"

"I don't understand what Ol is on about as this bed is absolutely FANTASTIC! So sturdy, and what a clean finish! I'm in love with it and that end draw is so handy. Obviously Ol had a mishap with theirs but I can vouch for this frame... it's truly something brilliant especially for great price!"
Reviewer: ol Rating
"Absolute pile. So flimsy its untrue. Dont expect this bed to last. The feet have broken off the sides are bent and the slats have had to be screwed in place as the plastic clips have broken dont hold them in place. Poor poor quality do yourself a favor and buy a bed thats well made and will probably cost you the same money."

"Excellent bed. Put together very easily by my partner normally there's lots of swearing and frustration. Looks lovely up. The drawer is very spacious. Couldn't fault this bed very happy with it. "
Reviewer: Jan Rating
"Bed looks okay and relatively expensive mattress we bought is good. But: the mattress does not fit the bed properly as the bed is longer than normal so there is a large gap at one end between mattress and bed head or bed foot."
Reviewer: Daniel Rating
"Very unimpressed with this bed seeing as almost every night the slats fall out of place, it doesn't serve it's purpose as you can't actually sleep on it. Therefore I am very displeased with this product, as putting my bed back together every night is not any way to get a goods night sleep."
Reviewer: Elaina fuller Rating
"I bought this bed for my son and I am very tired of having to put it back together. At least 3 or 4 times aw eek the slats fall through with my poor son ending up on the floor in the middle of the night I'm not very impressed at all.

New Delhi, Sept. 1: The Supreme Court today refused to stay the Rae Bareli trial against L.K. Advani but took up a petition which challenged the CBIs action of dropping conspiracy charges against the deputy Prime Minister in the Babri Masjid demolition case.
The court has issued notices to several respondents, including the CBI and the government of Uttar Pradesh, where Mulayam Singh Yadav assumed power only last week.
The Congress, which is keeping Mulayam Singh on tenterhooks over sharing power, tightened the screws as soon as it was known that the court did not dismiss the conspiracy charge petition.
No decision has been taken to join the Samajwadi Party-led government. We will certainly be discussing the issue when the state government finalises its response to the Supreme Court notice, Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters.
The Rae Bareli court has been hearing the case against Advani and a few others since May 30 after the CBI filed a fresh chargesheet.
A controversy had erupted when the Opposition alleged that the Indian Penal Codes Section 120 b, which relates to criminal conspiracy, was dropped to dilute the charges against the accused.
Todays court notices were issued on a petition by lawyers Wajahat Ansari and C.M. Shukla who contended that the CBI had acted under political pressure and dropped the conspiracy charge.
They said the trial should have proceeded on the basis of the composite chargesheet filed by the CBI in 1993 which had the conspiracy charge.
But, the petitioners said, taking advantage of an apex court ruling in 2002 which permitted the trial to proceed in the Rae Bareli court, the CBI had submitted a truncated chargesheet.
The two lawyers alleged that the public prosecutor, who was pleading the case since 1993, was suddenly replaced by an advocate who assisted a Union minister in legal practice.
The judges issued notices on this petition but did not entertain another filed by Mohammad Aslam alias Bhure until offensive portions were deleted. Bhure, the spearhead of several pleas linked to the Ayodhya dispute, had filed a petition contesting the transfer of the case from Lucknow to Rae Bareli.

These Bazzill Basics brads are absolutely the best quality brads I've found. The color does not chip off as soon as you bend the prongs...if you want a clean look, you've got it. At the same time, they distress easily if you want to go shabby.
The fact that they perfectly match the cardstock is an understated bonus...I never realized my old brads clashed with my papers until I used these. I wish I had pictures of before/after of some cards I made...you'd think the difference would be subtle at best...I'll never go back to dollar store brads again.

A win was in the grasp for the once proud franchise, but they were left in defeat, in a way that is still hard for 49er nation to digest.
Now, don't feel too bad for 49er nation, because the handful of us are coping with the loss, and are getting on with our lives. You see, we have grown accustomed to ineptitude. We have grown accustomed to failure. We have grown accustomed to, the York's.
With all due respect to the worst owners in sports, you simply cannot hold a candle next to John York. In only a few short years, he took the royalty of the sporting world and turned them into a joke. If you tell me you read about the 49ers in the newspaper, and you do not live in San Francisco, you are a liar.
Every team in football has a two-minute drill, or at least we thought so. Every team is supposed to know what to do with the game on the line, or at least we thought so. So where did it all go wrong for the 49ers?
You can look at Mike Singletary. He is inexperienced and has a defensive mindset. He is also the head coach and is the man with the final say.
You can look at Shaun Hill. He is an inexperienced quarterback, but he is the field general, and on the field, is the leader of this team. However, I think I am going to look in the direction of the man calling the plays, Mr. Mike Martz.
"Hill makes the catch, eludes one tackler, and is down at the one with 43 seconds to go. They are going to spike the ball, or are they? What are they doing? Spike the damn ball!" Sound familiar to you?
While Martz was calling for a spike, he was also calling for a new personnel package to go into the game. I believe that goes against common sense, but that just may be me. Needless to say, the game ended on two rushed plays instead of three with plenty of time. Not how you should perform in those situations.
For all of the children that watched this game, it is too bad the announcers didn't say "eye muffs" during crunch time.
Good football teams find ways to win, and bad teams find ways to lose. But there are some positives to take from this…Whatever you want to call that thing Monday.
The boys played hard for Samurai Mike, and the offense was efficient (except when connecting on shovel passes to the opponents, but even that had some flare). As we welcome St. Louis into town, I would expect a 49er team looking to rebound and show they can compete and that they do belong. And yes, with St. Louis, we do belong.
From Jordan, a contributing editor on Pro Football 101.

Tips To Get Good Car Insurance
Auto insurance is large part of being a responsible vehicle owner. However, Texas auto insurance policies seem to be written in the most confusing terms possible. This article can help you to better understand what all of those terms mean. By understanding the terms of the Texas auto insurance world, you will be a more informed consumer.
When you're in the market for car insurance, you will want to understand what protection the various coverage types will provide. A given vehicle's insurance cost may be affected by a number of factors. Make sure your insurance covers legal costs as well as death or injury claims in case you are involved in a bad accident.
Before purchasing a new vehicle, always research insurance rates. Speak to your insurance agent ahead ahead of time to find out what cars have the lowest rates. Whether you are looking at new or used cars, you can make a much better decision if you take insurance rates into account. Your insurance premiums will be a lot lower if you make sure your new car is one with an excellent safety rating.
Most states require that you pay for liability insurance. The law requires you to be pro-active in knowing if you've got the required minimum insurance coverage for the state in which you reside. If you get into an accident without the insurance your state requires, there will be some steep financial consequences. Even worse, you will be a lawbreaker.
Your chosen vehicle will strongly affect the size of your monthly insurance payment. If your tastes lead you towards a luxurious car, the numbers on your insurance bill will rise accordingly. To get the most for your money, go with something a little more reserved and safe.
When you are buying car insurance, make sure you get property damage liability. This will compensate the other driver for any property damage you cause in the course of an accident. Almost every state requires this coverage. Many add to this a coverage for "uninsured drivers" who lack this liability insurance. Although you must invest money, it will be worth the cost if you get in an accident.
Raise your deductible to save some money on premiums. Even though this can be risky, it can be an excellent method of saving if you can make the initiative to put some money aside, so that you can pay the deductible in case of an accident. You will have a lower premium if you have a higher deductible.
Insurance rates vary depending on where you reside; if you are considering a move, look into insurance rates. The accident and theft rate of an area generally determine the insurance rates. Usually suburbs and rural areas will have lower rates the big cities.
The Texas auto insurance industry uses a lot of confusing terms and legal sounding mumbo-jumbo. Reading this article will help you gain a better understanding of Texas auto insurance and assist you in making Texas Texas auto insurance informed and confident decisions. It is important to be confident in the insurance company you chose, and this is possible if you do your research.

Cuisinart DCC-1200MR Brew
Had the same model for 10 years without a hitch. Actually, thought that the machine was not working and it was a hair line crack in the glass craft. The old model probably would have continued to operate just fine. Well now I have a backup. I am using the new coffee maker and love that they changed the visability of the water level. Yes, you do need peek inside to see where you are pouring it - but now it's eaiser becuase it numbered like stair steps - it's an improved functionality.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Perfect
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. As Expected from Cuisinart
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Yes

This event has already occurred
The IRS has been focusing its attention on nonprofit organizations. The way nonprofits are governed is a concern of the IRS and they are taking steps to increase tax compliance of nonprofits.

Attend to learn what you need to do now as a Board Member or an Executive Director of a nonprofit organization. In this session, Steve Hoffman, The Tax Translator, will present information on how and why this has happened to nonprofits and then what to do about it. There are approximately 100 'governance' type questions on the tax return for nonprofits - and how you answer them can help to avoid an audit. The session will be interactive so come prepared with your questions - and you'll receive additional resources to help you.

I am 22, a graduate student in Plant Biology. I am working as a
lab assistant to Prof. Martin Weidercoff. Dr. Weidercoff is a strange
duck. Like many brilliant men, he is forgetful and interested in his
work exclusively. He has, however, developed some very valuable herbal
remedies. The most recent one seems to be very effective against
allergies. If he had retained his rights, he could have become very rich
indeed but all he asked for was a modest sum to continue his work.
When the summer vacation was close, I obtained permission to
travel in Europe for two months. The day before I left, I stopped by the
lab to say my farewells. I found him absorbed in some test concoctions.
It smelled delicious, no kidding. He caught sight of me. 'Ah Jeff, I'm
glad you're here, we have to run a few tests on this elixir.' I reminded
him that I was leaving tomorrow. 'Oh yes, I do recall that. Well
suppose you talk a bottle of this with you and test it out. All the
ingredients are safe. Just keep good notes.'
'What will it do?' I asked. 'What does what do?' he asked me.
He had already forgotten my testing. 'Oh yes. It is sort of a
pick-me-up for mild depression. It contains a mixture of Chinese herbs
that will increase energy, while at the same time, calm and produce a
happy feeling. Oh, also there might be a slight increase in libido. Er,
you know my boy, combinations of herbs are sometimes unpredictable.'
'You mean this is like roofies, or Spanish Fly?'
'No, No, nothing like that. It is so mild that likely the person
taking it will barely notice a difference....perhaps just a confident
feeling about life.'
Well I packed the bottle carefully, inside my jockey shorts (kind
of symbolic, yes?). I flew to Hamburg, Germany. There I bought a
Euro-rail pass. I got a nice double compartment. I stretched out on the
bench (it had not yet been made up for sleeping) when a conductor knocked
on the door. He had a young guy with him and explained that I only paid
for half of the compartment so that half was available for this other
passenger. There was nothing I could do but accept. The kid was young,
maybe 18, he looked like those posters for Hitler youth. Pale skinned,
blue-eyed and blond. He was a strong-looking with smooth, pale muscled
legs showing below his short leather pants. He eyed me suspiciously,
threw his backpack up on the rack and sat down. He scowled at me and
said: 'Before any further,' in a slightly British/German accent, 'You
are not one of those American fags, are you? Because I don't want to be
bothered in the middle of the night and have to beat you up.'
I am 22, as I said. I am somewhat willowy I admit but I am not a
flamer. I have had a few experiences but mostly I am serious about my
work and am no slut. I assured him that I would not attack him. He
sniffed disdainfully. He was extremely handsome and had a killer body by
his manner of thrusting out his lower lip belligerently and frowning
certainly detracted from his looks.
We sat silently. 'Are you sightseeing?,' he asked in a mocking
voice as though that would stamp me as a fruit. 'You probably like
churches and art galleries,' he snorted in derision. 'I am going
mountain climbing in Austria.'
Pretty soon it got dark. The porter came in and made up the
benches into beds. Hans, my fellow passenger was careful to stay
dressed. I got down to my undershorts and lay on top of the bed. It was
very hot in the compartment. Just before I turned out the light I asked
Hans if he would like a nightcap. 'Yah, would help me sleep I think.' I
handed the bottle to him. I suddenly remembered that it was marked
'Bliss'. 'What ist this 'Bliss'?' he asked. I explained to him that it was a new
sweet wine that the American kids were crazy about. I uncocked it and
handed it over. He looked at it suspiciously, shrugged and tilted it up
to his lips. 'Quite delicious,' he said.
'Should I turn out the light?' I asked.
'No leave it on. I can see you better in the light.'
I wasn't sure he was saying this because he thought I was going
to rape him but no if was something else. He sat up on the edge of his
bed. He looked different. His face was relaxed, his eyes slightly
glazed and his lips partly open. He looked like a boy. He was breathing
a little heavy and his pink cheeks seemed to redden. 'I hadn't noticed
before what a good looking chap you are. May I sit with you on your
This was an amazing change. Swiftly he took off his clothes,
leaving on a pair of blue bikini underpants. The crotch was ballooning
with his Teutonic sausage. He was a very pretty boy. He was muscular
and his skin was smooth, almost polished. He had no hair on his body and
very little under his arms. He smiled coyly at me. 'May I touch you?'
he asked. 'OK,' I said nervously. He put one large, warm hands on my
shoulder and stared into my eyes. I was beginning to feel a little
turned on. He moved his face closer. I could see his puffy, pink lips
puckering and he moved toward my mouth. Suddenly he was pressing on my
lips, kissing me gently, his pink tongue seeking entry. At last I gave
into the voluptuous feeling of surrender. and I opened my lips. He
slipped inside. It was probably the greatest and most exciting kiss I
had ever experienced. I was dizzy with lust. I felt his hand on my
chest, flicking over my nubs, back and forth. He moved down on put a
warm hand on the bulge in my undershorts. He pulled my hard cock out and passed his
thumb over my cock head. 'You are ready, Jah?' I was speechless. He
moved down and put his mouth over my dick. He licked and suckled,
wetting me and dripping saliva. 'Suck me please.' I groaned loudly.
He was completely blissed out. He was breathing like a steam
engine. He got up, tore off his blue bikini, exposing his thick, smooth,
ivory-white cock. He knelt on the floor in front of me. He licked the
head and moaned. He held it in his hand and stared. 'I have never done
this before but you are so desirable. If this means I am a fag, then I
accept it.' Then he began an up and down motion with his hot lips.
Inside his thick, smooth tongue was busy, up and down and around. I
began to feel that familiar sensation. My body began to tense up. I
grabbed at his blond hair. I think I am going to come Hans.' He nodded
over my prick, not stopping. He hummed and sucked. I looked down, he
was stroking his large penis and thrusting into his own hand. Suddenly
the inevitable had me in its grip. I turned rigid and began spewing
copious amounts of white cream into his pursed lips. I looked ;down and
saw his cock shooting as well.
We both fought to regain our breath. 'I think I will sleep now,'
he said and crashed on his bed and began snoring deeply. I fell back
against my pillow and was out in a moment.
Morning light flooded the compartment. We were at the station at
Innsbruck. Hans was gone, his backpack as well. My bottle of 'Bliss'
was still uncorked on the night table. I corked it, wrapped it in my
undershorts and dressed.
I chose a modest hotel. At the check-in desk was an adorable lad
of maybe sixteen or so. He was very serious about his job and no amount
of joking seemed to shake him up. He rang for a porter but there was no
response. 'I take you myself up then,' he said with a cute word order.
I followed his cute ass in his tight maroon uniform. He opened my door
and showed me the features of the room. I tipped him and told him I was
going to shower,. and asked if he would bring up a sandwich and a strong
I had just finished the shower, wrapped a towel around my waist
when there was a tap at the door. It was the same cute reception clerk.
I guessed he did everything in the small hotel. I went back to the
bathroom and resumed drying myself. When I came out, I grabbed the demi
tasse and finished it in one gulp. 'I took the liberty of putting a
little of your cordial into this coffee,' but he told me this after I
drank it. 'I knew it must be your favorite.' He stared at me. 'Is
something wrong?'
Believe I felt that nothing was wrong. I felt good, handsome,
sexy and desirable. My body was warm and feeling nicely oiled.. 'What's
your name.' I asked, moving closer. 'Fritz,' and he moved slightly
back. 'Fritz, dear Fritz, do your fuck?' He put his hands on my
shoulders. Yes it is true, I am a homosexual, but I only like one
thing: to be fucked. Do you want to fuck me?' 'Oh yeah,' I crowed.
He slipped out of his uniform quickly. He had a narrow chest
with a small amount of hair in the middle. But his ass was a work of
art, dimpled on each cheek, the crack lightly haired with the anus bare.
He leaned over the desk, he was huffing and puffing in anticipation. As
I leaned over him I could smell a slight body odor but it was
intoxicating. I was harder than I ever remembered. I realized that he
had secretly greased himself so that the head of my cock slipped in
inside. He let out a grunt of surprise and pain. I stroked and slapped
his ass, 'Relax Fritzy, I coming through. ' I lodged my dirigible into
his hanger. He cried out. 'Too much honey? Shall I pull out?'
'No-o-o!' he groaned, 'Fuck me hard you fucking American.' And fuck him
I did. He was crying and shouting. He loved it. I was out of my mind
with lust. I had never given in to my animal self and it was a
transcendent thrill. 'Do you want me to cum in your ass,' I shouted into
his ear. 'Yes sir, do it now.' I roared as I turned to stone and my
cock seemed the only thing alive of my body. We both blew our loads. I
could feel him vibrating around my cock head and flooding the sheets. as
I pelted his insides with shot after shot of heavy cum.
I don't even remember his leaving. I woke up next morning
feeling a bit drained (in all ways.) but I was generally happy. I
recounted in my mind the crazy exciting night of sex and I got a bit
hard. 'No, No,' I said to my friend prick. 'Lay down and we will rise
another day.'
I finished my grand tour. I had several great sexual adventure
but none aided by 'Bliss'. That stuff was just too powerful and perhaps
unpredictable. But it wasn't the last time 'Bliss' entered my life. A
few days after I arrived back and gave my notes to the Professor, he
asked that I return the bottle to him. 'I think I shall destroy it.
It's possibly unlawful and dangerous.' I went back to my room and found
about ten of my fellow students having a party. 'We spiked the punch
with your bottle of wine: 'Bliss'. It's good stuff. Take off your
clothes and screw around like the rest of us.' I looked at the bottle.
It was almost empty.
Around me most of the guys were naked. Some was sucking and some
were fucking.
I poured the remaining 'Bliss' into a glass and downed it. I got
naked and plowed into the crown, my cock rising to the occasion.

Local students discover their courage
WORTHINGTON -- Somewhere between jump ropes, upbeat music and giant colored balls flying through the air, area seventh-graders learned this week that courage can be fun.
Students from Worthington, Round Lake-Brewster, Ellsworth, Adrian and Fulda gathered at the First Baptist Church on Tuesday and Wednesday for a Youth Frontiers Courage Retreat, sponsored by the Nobles County Integration Collaborative.
NCIC Coordinator Sharon Johnson said the day's purpose was twofold: to promote integration among the collaborative's member school districts and to teach students the value of courage.
"It's having students take ownership for making their school welcoming to all people," she said.
The day was filled with games and activities intended to "create a more inclusive school climate, reduce bullying and help students stand up for their values and beliefs," according to the Youth Frontiers Web site.
Adrian Middle School social studies teacher Katie Mostad said the energy and excitement among her students was tangible during the event.
"I've seen some of my students come out of their shell. It gives them an opportunity to be themselves," she said, adding that messages from the retreat can also tie into the classroom. "As we talk abut different countries or different perspectives of people, we can refer back to their experiences here."
Julia Vongphachan, a junior from Fulda High School who also helped with the fifth-grade kindness retreat last year, said students were enthusiastic about the activities.
"I think they're going to make a lot of new friends, and I think they're going to start to attempt being nicer in school," she predicted.
Worthington Middle School students Vannaly Phannara and John Martin enjoyed one activity where everyone ran through a moving jump rope in front of their peers. It represented the courage to do something without worrying what people would think if you "messed up," explained Phannara.
"We learned we should make people feel like they belong," she said.
Martin enjoyed another game: "We went around shaking people's hands, and if you were the 17th person to shake a money-holder's hand, you could win a prize," he said. "It was really fun, and we learned a lot."

A day so happy.
Fog lifted early, I worked in the garden. Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.
I knew no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.
To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me. In my body I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw the blue sea and sails.

They also appeared regularly on other programmes, including Oral Roberts Weekend, The Dinah Shore Show, and their own Happy Goodman Family Hour series which ran during the 70s. They released a succession of albums from 1964 onwards, many of them proving hugely successful with gospel fans across the USA. Each album also served as an opportunity for the family members to highlight their own individual talents. Vestal has won several awards as...

I would like to respond to a very intelligent post here, and address a few of its rebuttals. I very rarely post on online forums, so please forgive any faux pas I make.
Maldavian said:
A few things to keep in mind, at least for how FF14 UI/controls will be.
SE needs to adapt the controls so that it can be played on a PS3 controller as easily as on a keyboard+mouse configuration.
SE needs to adapt the controls so that it can be played on a PS3 controller as easily as on a keyboard+mouse configuration.
This is, in my opinion, the leading cause of most of the "problems" with the FFXI interface, although most of us already grant that. Fortunately, the PS3 has keyboard and mouse functionality; in fact, after doing some research (sorry, I do not own a PS3 yet, so I had to look it up ^.^;) if the game is programmed to support USB keyboard and mouses - I'm looking at you SE - you can just use your crappy $10 USB keyboard and mouse.
That being said, it's likely that this won't go over well since it requires third party equipment. A simple solution, of course, would be to sell two version, with and without a cheap keyboard/mouse set. It would eliminate a lot of the major controller hurdles. Personally, I think that SE did a **** good job with the FFXI interface, considering they had (counts on his fingers...) 17 buttons to work with.
Secondly, this:
Another point is that controlling you character in the enviroment should _not_ be heavily dependant on latency (lag/ping) since servers are in Japan. This will leave out fast action/button movement that we see in WoW. I agree that you can speed up from how fast FFXI is now but no way close to how WoW is.
Wow... thank you for bringing this up, server latency extends to every part of the game development for a project like this, and I have to admit, I had not considered the ramifications of server communication times on the UI.
Yogtheterrible said:
We don't yet know this. I certainly hope it wont be the case. It makes me angry just to think SE might once again ***** over people outside of japan and even, as you suggest, limit the game simply because they are unwilling to spread out their servers as any other MMO worth its salt does.
I'm not sure I agree with this; well, I should say that I think your argument is valid, but that I don't think that SE will see it the same way. Global servers are already a confirmed part of the FFXIV world. Which I think is probably a good idea (oops did I let an opinion through). A very large part of the SE constituency is in Japan. In terms of business, by placing servers in Japan, it was a good financial choice, since it appeased the largest consumer base. Technologically speaking, since the game started a year earlier in the east than the west, it was impractical to relocate servers, and opening new ones would have gone against the global feel I believe SE was trying to get. Also, the latency issue spoken of before means that, because more (much more) players played in the east, having the servers there was the right choice to appease the largest audience.
But fear not, there are a few good signs for the game yet to come. For one thing, it is a worldwide release, and while I don't think that will necessarily help the lag/latency issue by itself, it lends itself well to a more diversified base. Not to mention SE has spoken toward their wish to work with the US branch closer in coming games.
Speculation Warning: (cough, oh my, speculation in the FFXIV forum) Having pondered this for a while, drachechan asked:
I wonder if having different physical server locations connect to the same world would even be feasible?
While on the surface, this is not easily possible, since the "server" is a set of hardware similar to a computer (a powerful computer, but a computer) where a data is stored on large banks of hard drives, then calculations are run on the data on accompanying processors (please excuse me if my server information isn't quite right, I don't have to work with servers often, so it is a woeful hole in my education). As such, distributing to multiple locations is difficult, since they would need to be in sync, and all have access to the same data (this means queries between the distributed servers further slowing communications). However, what about tiered servers, similar to a distributive computing model.
There would be a "Primary Server" that held "Slow" information (this is similar to interrupts in concept if you are familiar) slow information would be like mob position, special conditions (weather), "slow" player position.
Above that would be "Regional Servers" that would be copies of the primary servers, namely, they wouldn't be whole new worlds but as drachechan suggested, they would be copies of the main servers, but local. These regional servers would hold "Fast" information. Fast information would be things like, up to date player location (this would be sent to the primary, then piped to the other regionals), player actions, mob actions in combat. All of the information would be disseminated through the primary server to the other regional servers.
Every second, a syncing ping could be sent to resync the servers to the same time to make up for inconsistencies. Before someone tells me this is overly complicated and not much reward, yes, I know. This would, at most, give you an extra .5 seconds, and put everyone on even ground. Not to mention, writing the code that synced the servers and deciding what would be low-level information and what would be high level information would be a nightmare.
Just a possible solution, food for thought, so to speak.
Back to the UI though, the user side logic should take care of a lot of latency issues, since a "good" UI layer will keep track of the clicks you've made, even if the signals haven't made it to the server yet and amends the signal appropriately. I think....

Period & Fertility Tracker Apps: Which One To Choose?
How jealous must our ancestors be that we can see the future, with regards to our fertility? Female-friendly apps are great for period tracking and fertility monitoring. Here's why.
Got a date with a Prince Harry-a-like? Well done you. Now you can use a period monitor in two ways:
1. Schedule your date for a period-free week so you can have amazing sex, spot-free skin and wear skinny jeans without a massive muffin over-spill.
2. Schedule it for a week you have a period so you can play hard to get. Not shaving your legs is old hat. Get with the program girls. You can't have sex with a prince if you're bleeding out. Well, you could, but that's probably not ideal in the early days.
Try Period Tracker. It's touted as the best. You input cycle information, moods and symptoms and the app can tell you when your period will arrive and how long it will take to go away. It bases info on the average from your last three periods, so it takes time, but it's time well spent if you have menstrual difficulties.
Tampon Alert
Tampon Alert is a tampon-changing app… seriously. I don't think I can talk about it. Surely this is the pinnacle of tech reliance? If you can't remember to change your tampon, you need to re-assess your life!
Trying for a baby can leave you sore and exhausted. It's not always that easy to conceive. When you're constantly at it you might get fed up, after all, you know what they say about too much of a good thing. BUT - if you download a fertility app then you know exactly when to rush home from work for a good session, or even when to take the day off. Plus you can buy those arse-raising pillows in the sale for added fertility.
Fertility apps are also a great place to store your baby-making files re. ovulation cycles, temperature readings and so on.
Here are two of the most popular ones:
- Clue - a free app that you input your period and cycle data into, so it can figure out your fertility windows.
- Fertility Friend - creates charts to map your cycle and suggests fertile times based on temperature readings. There's also the Fertility Friend Mobile App, which is a menstrual calendar, a period tracker, ovulation chart and an advanced fertility chart interpretation and temperature-tracking tool.
Just a thought… you could also use these to avoid pregnancy if you don't suit contraception methods. Obviously this would be only for use with a trusted partner because STIs are certainly not prevented by fertility apps.
Fertility trackers are expensive, but these apps are free or just a few pounds, making them great comparative value.
Just imagine the Christmas gifts you'll receive from your mother-in-law because you haven't called her a doddery old witch this year (what are you looking at me for?) in a fit of PMS rage. Schedule in visits when you are PMT free and you'll be in Clarins heaven.
Ever wish you could just put your period off for a couple of weeks? Take a look at our period delay info page to find out how you can!

My mom lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and I live in Connecticut, but we talk on the phone all the time. This is how our conversations have gone as of late:
Mom: Hi, hon.
Me: Hi.
Mom: What did you do today?
Me: Made bread.
Or sometimes they go:
Mom: Hi.
Me: Let me call you back, I'm covered in dough!
Or :
Mom: Let me guess what you did today. Made bread? What kind was it?
You guessed it, I'm up to my eyeballs in breads; but it's for a pretty good reason. I'm working on another cookbook, entitled United States of Breads. For those readers that have my first cookbook, United States of Pie, this book will be like my first—a celebration of regional, historical recipes from around the country.
I have scoured libraries, vintage cookbooks, newspaper clippings, and food-splattered memorabilia from across the nation in search of homey, satisfying, unique, and delicious bread recipes to bring into your kitchen. Some are for delicious standards like: buttermilk bread, sweet potato biscuits, and sourdough breads of all kinds. I have also updated classics for gooey monkey bread, corn breads, and Parker house rolls. I've found unique recipes for soft brown bread with grits, Amish dill bread, and raised pumpkin rolls, just to name a few. The list of breads is ever-growing!
In my research, I found that America has a wonderful tradition of bread baking. From baking powder biscuits, to quickbreads, yeasted rolls and sweet breads, as well as flatbreads, women have been proofing yeast, rolling out dough, and patting it into pans, for centuries, and I feel like the time has come to celebrate this work. So as much as I love a chewy baguette, forming a boule, or those crusty artisinal loaves, that's not what United States of Breads is about. There are enough bread cookbooks that attempt to teach you how to make those kinds of breads at home. This book is for the home cook. The breads are sturdy. They are loaves. They are rolls and spirals. This book is for the cook that wants to sink her hands into a living, breathing pile of dough, the cook that yearns to come home to the smell of a fresh-baked loaf, the cook that gets excited by a pan of sticky buns.
At least that's what I hope it will be!
For those of you that follow me on Twitter, @Adrienne_Kane, maybe you've seen me posting quite a few bread pictures lately. (For those of you that don't—get on it!) Well, those pictures will definitely keep coming. I'll start labeling them #USofBreads and #cookbook. I'll also be posting pictures here on Nosheteria, entitled The Proof. That way you can check in and see how I'm doing, and just what I've been baking.
The manuscript is due in the fall. That means I only have a few seasons to go. So, if you'll excuse me, I've got some bread to bake.

After the Caps' morning practice on Friday, Alex Ovechkin's fiancee, Maria Kirilenko, stopped by the rink for some practice of her own. The tennis pro has been learning to skate, and Donna Oates, wife of Coach Adam Oates, offered her services as a friendly instructor.
Kirilenko spent her time taking tentative laps around the rink on Oates's arm while Ovechkin stood nearby shouting encouragement.
Not needing lessons was Dmitry Orlov's girfriend, Varya, who is clearly a natural on skates.

Bank Touts Commitment To U.S. Machining Market
Financing new equipment purchases can be difficult in the current economic environment, especially for small manufacturers.
Financing new equipment purchases can be difficult in the current economic environment, especially for small manufacturers. However, one bank says it is approaching the market with a different perspective to buck the trend. Illinois-based Banterra bank is expanding a specialty lending division dedicated to financing machine tools and other manufacturing equipment. According to John VanDaele, who heads up the division, the company offers a product that combines the advantages of simple bank financing and equipment leases.
Most shop owners choose one of these two methods to finance new purchases, Mr. VanDaele says. However, in the current economic environment, a given shop might be reluctant to use up credit availability with the local bank. Likewise, typical equipment lease packages can contain prepayment restrictions and non-cancellable clauses that the shop might want to avoid. "Most shop owners want simple, competitive bank financing when they add new equipment, but they also like the streamlined process often offered with an equipment lease," he explains. "We offer a simple bank loan product and combine it with a convenient application process, just like the leasing guys," he explains.

Secret of Mana
Review by Zylo the wolf
"Santa Claus is in this game, how can anyone not love it?"
If you search for "Top 10 Snes games" on Youtube, chances are that you will find a lot of lists where there are plenty of RPGs. Chrono Trigger, The Final Fantasy games, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, Breath of Fire and Lufia are all some examples of what many consider to be really good RPGs, and they all have one thing in common: none of them got released in Europe. I guess they thought that we prefer to play our games instead of read through them, because good RPGs weren't something that we europeans had a lot of, at least not those who had a SNES instead of Sega Mega Drive.
But there was one game from Squaresoft, who was considered to be the gods of RPG at the time, that made it over here. Unlike Final Fantasy IV you didn't have to choose a command in order to attack an enemy and there are no random encounters at all in this game. The plot also isn't the most deepest and instead more is focused on the game play. Since you are reading this review I'm sure that you have figured out that the game I'm talking about is of course Secret of Mana.
The plot begins that our hero the boy (which got no default name so I'm going to call him the boy in my review.) and two of his friends have left the village of Potos even if the Elder have forbid them to. They are searching for treasures just outside the village. When they are walking on a bridge, the boy falls into a waterfall. When he wakes up he realizes that he's just outside of his village but the hedges are to high so he needs to find something to cut them down with. He finds a sword, that can for some reason talk and it knows his name. (The "secret" of Mana is this but I won't spoil how a sword can talk)
When the boy gets back to his village, the village elder is just happy that both him and his friends are okay, until he sees that the boy have pulled out the legendary Mana sword. Only true heroes are supposed to be able to pull out that sword, yet a young boy have managed to pull it out. This is the reason why monsters have started to attack people and suddenly one big monster attacks the village. After that the boy have killed this monster, a knight named Jema tells him that he must go to the water temple to meet Luka. The village elder also banishes him from the village since all the villagers thinks it's the boy's fault that the monster attacked the village.
When he reaches the Water Temple and meets Luka, she tells him that in order to stop all the monsters and to save the world he must find all the eight mana seeds and revive the Mana Sword. He must however beware of the big Empire, which also searches for the eight mana seeds, except that they want to use the seed's power to take over the world. But thankfully the boy won't have to do this quest alone.
The order you get your two companions can be different depending on what you do in the beginning of the game but most people seems to get the girl first and the then the sprite (neither of them got a default name.) The girl joins the boy's quest because the Empire have kidnapped her boyfriend Dylcuck put a curse on the people in her town so they all act like zombies. She can learn supportive spells, but she isn't a good fighter like the boy. The sprite are with the other two because he wants to get back to his home, and he becomes such good friends with the other two that his stays for the whole adventure. The sprite is just like not as good as the boy when it comes to fighting, but the sprite can learn offensive magic.
What makes this RPG different from many other RPGs from Squaresoft is that instead having enemies pop up once in a while there are always a set of enemies in each place. In order to attack an enemy all you have to do is to get close enough and then press the attack button. To avoid to turn this game into a more hack n slash game, there's a power bar that reloads every time you attack something. Until the power bar is at 100%, the attacks will be much weaker. You can use this time to walk away from an enemy so it won't be able to attack you while you are recharging.
There are a total of eight different weapons that you will find in the game: the sword, the spear, the glove, the boomerang, the axe, the bow, the whip and the javelin. Some weapons do better damage than others (like the sword, the spear and the axe) while other got a much longer attack range (like the whip, the boomerang and the bow). The more a character use a weapon the better he or she will be at handle it, and if you hold the attack button you can do special moves, and the special moves gets better the better they can handle that weapon.
The same thing goes with magic. Every spell cost MP, and there are as far as I know only two ways to regain MP, you can either use an item that regains MP or you have to sleep at an inn. Just like with the weapons, the spells also gets better the more you use them. The girl should first of all focus to increase her spell that heals the party, while I recommend that you focus on two different type of magic with the sprite, since some enemies are strong at some magic. But since the game isn't that tough you won't have to waste much time into making the spells stronger.
Since the AI controls the other two character that you aren't there are a few ways to make them do what you want them to do. You can select in a menu if you want them to stay behind you, or run and attack an enemy. No matter what you are the leader of the group, and none of the characters can move outside of the screen. Another way is to simply plug in another controller and have another player to play with you (you can even play with two friends if you got a multitap.) and the final way is to press select and you now control another character. I guess the game is more fun if you play with two pals but it's also really fun if you play alone, even if the AI can be a pain sometimes.
Aside from this Secret of Mana is really similar to other RPGs. You can get to towns, you talk to people to get helpful hints, you buy better equipment, you gains level by defeating enemies e.t.c. What makes Secret of Mana such an excellent RPG is first of all it's unique battle system, the second is that two of your friends can enjoy this RPG with you, and finally it's charm that this game got. Talking mushrooms, cannon travelling, cute rabbites, Santa Claus and all that. I guess it can be tough to navigate once you can travel all over the world if you don't have a map, but I've seen much worse.
Some complain that the game is unfinished since it was supposed to be a release game for the Super Nes CD, but I don't see any flaws that you don't see in many other "classics" from the same time. Secret of Mana is masterpiece and a serious contender to the title of the best SNES game of all time. Us Europeans didn't get all the good RPGs the SNES had to offer, but we sure got one of the absolute best.

Mr. and Mrs. Foxworth are minor characters from Oliver & Company. They are Jenny Foxworth's parents and Winston's employers.
Role in the film
In a limousine, after leaving for business, Jenny reads a letter written by her mother to her family's butler, Winston, saying that she and her father left Paris for a conference in Rome. After reading the letter, Jenny becomes disappointed when she learns that her parents won't make it home in time for her 8th birthday; despite Winston's efforts to comfort and make her feel better.
After Jenny finds Oliver, Winston is against the idea of Jenny adopting Oliver for the reason that they have a dog; a poodle named Georgette, Winston was left responsible for Jenny by her parents, and they have to wait for her parents' approval. Later, Jenny's father calls to see if everything is alright (as assured by Winston), thus, giving Jenny the opportunity to ask her parents about their decision concerning whether to keep Oliver or not. She comes in after having had a talk with them on the phone and tells Georgette, who unfortunately met Oliver, that they have approved about her decision of keeping Oliver and that they're going to be "the best of friends."
Later on, after Jenny is kidnapped by Sykes, Winston is asked to contact her parents from Rome to demand a ransom for their daughter. Luckily, such trouble is avoided; thanks to Fagin and his dogs: Dodger, Tito, Rita, Francis, and Einstein. On the day of Jenny's birthday, while Winston and Fagin are making a bet as they are watching a wrestling match, Mr. Foxworth calls Winston from Rome, saying that he and his wife will be back the next day, apparently earlier than expected, probably as an unexpected beautiful surprise for Jenny. Delighted by the news, Winston tends to help them keep it as a surprise for her.
- Despite being mentioned by Jenny and Winston (and Sykes), Mr. and Mrs. Foxworth never appear onscreen in the film.

I agree that President Bush should have the guts to reveal all this information about Saddam's stockpile. Bush is shooting himself in the foot by holding back vital information that would destroy the MSM and give the Democratic nutty bunch a hot foot. Why, is Bush afraid to pull some strings on some of these nuts?
With the country rocked by the insecurity, Iraq's chief investigating judge Raed Juhi said late last night a date for the trial of Saddam and his top aides would soon be announced.
He said charges had been brought against them in connection with a 1982 massacre.
The news came at the conclusion of the investigation into the killing of 143 residents of the village of Dujail, northeast of Baghdad, after Saddam survived an assassination bid there.

I'm so sorry! It will hurt for a while... but not forever. You have to take care of yourself: cry if you need to, reach out to the friends who really care about you, be sure to eat healthy (even if you don't want to), pray/meditate, get counseling or therapy if you need to. You will be OKAY!22|00|0
Okay thanks
Good luck!

I know this feeling. I got dumped a month ago. It still hurts.
Don't hold on to false hope, you're going to hope he comes back, but try not to, just go cold turkey. I don't have much advice because it always hurts and it's better to just feel the pain and not ignore or bottle it up. Just give yourself time, cry if you need to, and if people aren't being good friends to you then spend less time with them until you feel better. My friends barely even asked me if I was okay, so I avoided them until I felt like I could handle it. Don't isolate yourself though.
Honestly though, just feel the pain. It's the best way. Don't contact him, you don't need to delete all his messages or pictures, but try not to look at them much, and delete them when you're ready.
I like writing so writing letters to him (that I will never send) helped me, because I was thinking about him and "talking to him" without actually talking to him.
Try not go go drinking or sleeping around, it will just prolong the process.00|00|0
