- perfect
Recently bought this for my man as we decided to go into the dog style bdsm.. was a bit nervous but I must say we are both genuinely pleased with it. It slides in nicely with a eater base lube and stays secure whether standing or sitting. I would definitely recommend if anyone else is thinking about purchasing.
- Perfect fit
I bought a medium and large pleased with both I have had the large in for 3 days at work under my suit in the office without a problem feels great
- Puppy tail
The tail just feels amazing, you just want to wag all the time.
- Great
Love it !
Size as described and good. Will test a bigger tail next time.
- Don't be too ambitious
I ordered the XL foolishly in belief the tail would be similar to most plugs when you order large and receive a much smaller then expected product. The tail is of great quality and i cant wait to my next order in a more suitable size to arrive. Ill leave a second review once i get to use it

Epigastric Pain, Ambulatory Care
Epigastric pain
is felt in the middle of the upper abdomen, between the ribs and the bellybutton. The pain may be mild or severe. Pain may spread from or to another part of your body. Epigastric pain may be a sign of a serious health problem that needs to be treated.
Common symptoms include the following:
- Inflammation of your stomach, liver, pancreas, or intestines
- Heart problems, such as a heart attack
- Digestion problems, such as indigestion, GERD, or lactose intolerance
- Medical conditions, such as an ulcer, a hernia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or cancer
- A blockage in your bowels or gallbladder
- A bladder infection
- An injury or previous surgery in your abdomen
Seek immediate care for the following symptoms:
- Heart attack symptoms:
- Squeezing, pressure, or pain in your chest that lasts longer than 5 minutes or returns
- Discomfort or pain in your back, neck, jaw, stomach, or arm
- Trouble breathing
- Nausea or vomiting
- Lightheadedness or a sudden cold sweat, especially with chest pain or trouble breathing
- Severe pain that radiates to your jaw or back
- Severe pain that starts suddenly and quickly gets worse
- No ability to have a bowel movement, with vomiting
- Vomiting or coughing up blood
- Blood in your urine or bowel movement
- Feeling drowsy and slower than usual breathing
Treatment for epigastric pain
will depend on what is causing your pain. You may be given medicine to treat pain or to stop vomiting. You may also need medicines to reduce or control stomach acid, or to treat an infection.
Manage your symptoms:
- Keep a record of your symptoms. Include when the pain starts, how long it lasts, and if it is sharp or dull. Also include any foods you ate or activities you did before the pain started. Keep track of anything that helped the pain.
- Eat a variety of healthy foods. Healthy foods include fruits, vegetables, whole-grain breads, low-fat dairy products, beans, lean meats, and fish. Ask if you need to be on a special diet. Certain foods may cause your pain, such as alcohol or foods that are high in fat. You may need to eat smaller meals and to eat more often than usual.
- Drink liquids as directed. Ask how much liquid to drink each day and which liquids are best for you. Do not have drinks that contain alcohol or caffeine.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.

His first scene hasn't even come out yet, but David Benjamin is already an exclusive player in the gay porn industry. Just after last week's signing of Dario Beck, Falcon and Raging Stallion have announced a new deal with the 39-year-old go-go dancer and cam model. Benjamin, who's based in Washington, D.C., first caught our attention with this yet-to-be-released scene for Hot House. Then he started creating a stir with sexy pics on Twitter (@DavidBenjaminX) and on the box cover of Channel 1 Releasing's upcoming #Leather, directed by Chi Chi LaRue. But following a meeting at the Grabby Awards last May, Falcon and RSS have swooped in and now the bearded stud is making his studio debut in Crave, the fourth title in the Falcon Edge line.
In an exclusive statement to GayDemon, Benjamin says, "The opportunity to join some of the iconic names behind Falcon and Raging Stallion products is an honor. Having the chance to work alongside established stars like Shawn Wolfe and Boomer Banks and director Steve Cruz, to name a few, is a real privilege."
From what we hear, David has already filmed two new scenes for the Monster Bang imprint, and look for Crave on September 1. For more information, visit Falcon Studios.

How Do I Make The Texture Impression Stay On The Fondant!!??
Decorating By darwinchic Updated 2 Jan 2011 , 8:15am by AngelFood4
I have been using Satin Ice and Autumn Carpenter texture sheets (the floral 7" x 10" ones) and was hoping to to cut them out and put them on top of cupcakes with buttercream to attach them. I tried to make some but the impression doesn't seem to stay in the fondant and it looks like its melting!
I did them and initally they looked ok.
I put them in the fridge - was this wrong??
It's very humid here where I live (Darwin Australia) so could this be the issue also??
Have I done something wrong with the satin ice prep? Do I need to add gumpaste to the satin ice?
Any help would be GREAT!
My suggestion is to add corn starch to the fondant to give it more body and it dries faster. Do you guys call it corn flour? But gum paste should work too.
fondant generally doesnt like the fridge - that combined with the humidity will amke life more difficult, if it gives you condensation, which may well make it look like its melting - although i think humidity makes fondant harder to work with anyway!
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
-K8memphis - yep we call it corn flour, I made a little dusting pouch up with a stocking but will try adding some to the satin ice and see if that helps.
I will try again tommorrow and see how I go....
Fingers crossed for yah!
good topic!! I wondered the same! Let us know please!!
I live where there is lots of humidity as well, and yes, it is horrible for fondant and will make it look like it is melting. Do not put it in the fridge, that only makes is worse when you cake it out. Instead, if you have ac, try keeping it around 69-72 degrees Fahrenheit (I do not know the conversion, but I am sure the internet has a chart somewhere!) Also, I was reading on Confetti cake blog she figured how to put fondant in the fridge. She says to put them in a box, wrap the entire box nicely with seran wrap, then, about an hour or two before you are ready to work on them more, or deliver, remove from the fridge and allow to sit, STILL IN THE WRAPPED BOX. The wrap is supposed to collect the condensation rather than it collecting on you cakes and cupcakes. I have not tried this technique, but in theory, I see how it would work! Hope this helps love!
She (Elisa Strauss - Confetti Cakes) is absolutely correct! In Arkansas the humidity is awful!!! I refrigerate all my cakes, and if you box them and let them come to room temp before removing them from the box you are golden!
I've rolled out the fondant and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to set a little then used the impression mat over it....works fine this way.

Inside the closet, surrounded by collages of clippings from popular magazines and a sea of oversized clothes stands a tween girl. Her skeletal shoulder blades move like broken wings along her skin. Rules of measure order her life.
One ounce of water, one cube of cheese, a hundred calories gone here. A pinch of fat gripped by bony fingers. She is confined by self-focus, attention to detail, and rigidity.
In her desire to be thin, the tween may have gotten more than she bargained for: autistic traits.
New research in the journal Molecular Autism shows that "girls with anorexia have an above average number of autistic traits, an above average interest in systems, and a below average in empathy."
Girls with anorexia display the same structural and functional changes in the social perception region of the brain. Control is their friend; food is their enemy.
Both adversary and ally join forces to isolate them from everyone.
Anorexic girls also order everything around systems. Their weight, body mass, their food must be under their control. They interpret comments from loved ones and friends through a distorted system of reality.
Autistic children take in information through their own systems, tend to be socially isolated, and favor rigidity and systems, too. According to a study conducted by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen at the Autism Research Centre atCambridge, this new information can assist them in developing interventions for both conditions.
Dr. Baron-Cohen's team administered three instruments that measure autistic traits: an Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), a Systemising Quotient (SQ), and an Empathy Quotient.
They revealed the following results:
Five times more girls with anorexia scored in the range that people with autism score in, compared to the typical girls. In addition, on the AQ, over half of the girls with anorexia showed the 'broader autism phenotype.' Compared to just 15% of typical girls. On the tests of empathy and systemizing (how strong an interest the person has in repeating patterns and predictable rule-based systems), girls with anorexia had a higher SQ, and a reduced EQ, a profile that parallels that seen in autism.
This study gives new insight into changing the mindsets of anorexic girls. By using systems, they can learn how to shift their sense of control to an order that is less unhealthy for them.
Thanks to this new research, there is one more thing that girls with anorexia and children with autism share: the need to accept their differences as a part of their individuality and ignore what society thinks.

I think most of us have heard about probiotics these days. Between commercials with Jamie Lee Curtis discussing benefits of eating Dannon Activa to the supplement aisle at Whole Foods, you cannot escape probiotics. So what are they, exactly?
Your body contains billions of microorganisms and bacteria. Probiotics are beneficial, "friendly" bacteria that assist your body in warding off harmful bacteria, aid in digestion, and boost our immune system. People suffering from Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome also find probiotics helpful in controlling flare ups.
That is not the only benefits of probiotics that have been researched and confirmed.

An ordinary Utah college student named Reggie Shaw fatally strikes two rocket scientists while texting and driving. Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Matt Richtel follows Reggie from the moment of the tragedy, through the police investigation, the state's groundbreaking prosecution, and ultimately, Reggie's wrenching admission of responsibility. Richtel parallels Reggie's journey with leading-edge scientific findings regarding human attention and the impact of technology on our brains.
Remarkably, today Reggie is a leading advocate who has helped spark a national effort targeting distracted driving, and the arc of his story provides a window through which Richtel pursues actionable solutions to help manage this crisis individually and as a society. A propulsive listen filled with fascinating scientific detail, riveting narrative tension, and rare emotional depth, A Deadly Wandering is an audiobook that can change - and save - lives.
©2014 Matthew Richtel (P)2014 HarperCollins Publishers
Seeking the Truth
"Required Reading"
This book, written by Matt Richtel, is based on his own groundbreaking articles about driving and cell phone use, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. He effectively combines a true story of tragedy and its costs to everyone involved with technical neuroscience information without getting heavy handed with either. Excellent audiobook and narration. Should be required reading in every high school across the country and perhaps every college.
Help! I can't stop buying audiobooks!
"Easiest non-fiction read ever!"
A well-woven narrative of the many people and stories that became intertwined on the day of Reggie Shaw's fateful accident. Not to be missed.
"A must read for anyone who drives a car!"
Fascinating story backed up with compelling evidence. Powerful enough to convince me to make a change. My phone will be turned off in the car.
This book is a true story of tragedy that will ultimately be a huge positive in the life of all who take the time to read it! It changed my own foolish belief that I could safely handle a phone while driving. Therefore, it may have saved my life too.
Not only is this book useful to our everyday lives; it is also a riveting read that you don't want to put down!
I never cried so much from a book. It is so much more than a story about texting and driving. It's a life changer.
Captivating, informative, and pulls at the heartstrings tremendously. Perfectly written on all accounts. I can't say enough about how powerfully this book is written - which is likely because I'm left so moved by the story and the book as a whole that I can't yet put into words the immense impression it has left on me.
"lovely but a bit lengthy"
dramatic to excess, amazing important story and data about inattention
.. ... ... ... .... ... ... . ....
"Great book read it you will find. it interesting o"
loved it over the eat we look at texting. or talking on the phone when driving.
Narrator. as amazing. I would recommend it to anyone great book get it
"should be required reading in middle school"
Exceptional book. . .couldn't put it down..everyone should read this and it should be required reading for school children and for new drivers before they can obtain their license to drive. The narrator was great..easy to listen too and used expression in his voice. DEFINATE 5 Stars.
"Significantly profound!"
One of the most significantly profound books in this time of technology, attention and distraction.

I happened to have a very early errand in the Beach this morning, so on the way back to mid-town, I stopped at the Athens Bakery just as it opened at 9 am - easy parking on the Danforth at that hour.
The filled flaky pastry treats for which the two friendly but efficient female proprietors are justly famed were just out of the oven; so they filled a box for me with cheese and spinach, meat and custard pastries, conveniently cut into six bite-sized portions each. Two orders of each (so 12 x 3 pieces) came to $19.80, Carefully packed so that the sugar and cinnamon custard squares didn't leach flavour into the meat and veggie ones, the box and wrapping kept them warm until I returned home after another 90 minutes of errands. As always, they are delicious, and remain totally flaky, not soggy. My dinner guests will enjoy the rest for appetizers tonight (If I fend off other predators durimg the day lol). NB - CASH only !
I think of the Athens as a niche place that does one thing, and does it very well. (you can also purchase various coffees and teas - but that's about it.) What other examples are there in TO of equally commendable one-and-one-only-dish restaurants/cafés ?

Britannia Industries has identified six "pillar brands" to power its growth strategy. New brand variants and packaging format like pouches and entry into new product categories like speciality breads and frozen desserts is expected to give it volume growth in the domestic market.
Each of the six top brands in BIL's portfolio - Good Day, Tiger, 50:50, Treat, Milk Bikis and Marie Gold have been showing double-digit growth. "We would like to grow into new categories like breads, rusks and cakes, in addition to biscuits," Vinita Bali, managing director, BIL said at a press meet on Tuesday.
"We have also received good response to brand variants. For example, Pepper Chakka, a new variant of 50:50 and Good Day cup cakes have proved successful. Britannia has also patented the technology for Marie Gold Double, a recently launched three layered chocolate-orange flavoured biscuits," she said. Keeping in mind consumer habits and requirements, BIL has introduced single serve, and smaller packs for key brands.
"We are also trying out new packaging formats like pouches, she added. The company has already test launched pop-able biscuits in pouches in Tamil Nadu. The concept has proved to be a success and is likely to be rolled out nationally too. Apart from organic growth, BIL is also hungry for more acquisitions, both in India and abroad. The company recently acquired a strategic stake Bangalore-based Daily.
"We are interested in appropriate buys. There are no potential targets as of now. But we would be interested if it is the right target at the right place," Ms Bali said. BIL's recent acquisition of Daily Breads, a Bangalore-based boutique manufacturer, is a step in that direction. "Daily Breads has eight outlets in Bangalore.
We are planning new outlets in Mumbai and Delhi and also looking at opening Daily Bread counters in leading convenience stores," Ms Bali said. This acquisition marks Britannia's entry into the high end freshly baked gourmet food. Earlier, speaking at the company's 87th annual general meeting Nusli Wadia, chairman BIL said, "The branded players in the organised sector comprise a 15-lakh tonne biscuit market and they recorded a growth of 11-13% last year.
In value terms, biscuits make up a Rs 5,000 crore segment out of the country's Rs 60,000 crore FMCG sector." BIL is estimated to have a 39% share of this market in value terms, followed by Parle with an approximate share of 35%.

Congregation Emanu-El is a synagogue in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. It is the oldest surviving synagogue in Canada.[1] It can also boast of being the oldest synagogue building on the west coast of North America.[2] Founded by 1859 when the cemetery is known to have been dedicated, in 1863 the congregation built the synagogue that is still in use. It is affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. The building is a National Historic Site of Canada as designated by the Heritage Society of British Columbia.
The synagogue, located on Blanshard Street beside a twentieth century community building, was built in 1863, during the Victoria building boom caused by the discovery of gold on the mainland nearby in 1858. The first Jews to settle on Vancouver Island came mostly from the United States during the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush.[3]
The synagogue is said to have been the first building in town to have its cornerstone laid by the recently organized Victoria chapter of the Freemasons.[4] A second cornerstone was laid on the same day by a member of the congregation's Building Committee. A time capsule was ceremoniously buried. It included not only the congregation's constitution, a list of donors tho the building fund, some coins, and a copy of the local newspaper, the British Colonist, still publishing today as the Victoria Times-Colonist, but the full membership lists of the Germania Sing Verein and French Benevolent Society of Victoria.[4]
The dedication was marked by a procession of benevolent societies of what appears to have been every religion and ethnicity resident in the young city. The marchers in the procession are known to have included not only the Hebrew Benevolent Society, but the French Benevolent Society, the St. Andrew's Society, the Germania Sing Verein (a German Singing Club), and the Fraternity of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons. The band from HMS Topaze, a a 24-gun, Liffey class, Royal Navy frigate, played.[3][4]
The congregation's cemetery on Cedar Hill Road in Cedar Hill (Greater Victoria), dedicated in 1859.[5]
The building is in Romanesque Revival style. The facade of the two-story, brick building features a rose window and a corbelled gable. The ceiling of the interior is domed.[6][7] The building was renovated in the 1980s.[8]

WHAT'S DOING IN; Victoria
By SUZANNE CARMICHAEL;
Published: August 7, 1994
Victoria's greatest asset is its stunning setting -- a bustling Inner Harbour, dramatic southern coastline -- and lush private and public gardens. A provincial capital with a small-town ambiance, the city has a charm that is enhanced by residents who seem invariably cheerful and polite, and streets that are safe and clean.
The Inner Harbour hub is a watery jumble where huge ferries mingle with pleasure boats, kayaks and floatplanes. Along its eastern rim, a broad promenade attracts tourists and bureaucrats, street musicians and itinerant artists. At night, impromptu concerts and magic displays add a festive air. Six blocks south, Victoria's rocky shore stretches along the Juan de Fuca Strait, a rough patch of sea capped in the distance by Washington State's craggy, snow-capped Olympic Mountains.
The city's distinctly British flavor has been in evidence since 1843 when the Hudson's Bay Company erected a fort on what is now the Inner Harbour. During the next few decades, settlers transformed the remote fur trading outpost into a rambunctious frontier town accented by British gentility and, as a provincial capital since 1866, a slightly restrained air. Although Victoria is overwhelmingly British, a rich substratum of native Indian culture provides an enduring esthetic tradition, a welcome link to the area's indigenous peoples.
During the summer, when throngs of tourists descend on the city, wise visitors can explore the subtle side of Victoria, a city of glorious gardens, impressive Indian tribal arts and pleasant seaside strolls. Many of these attractions are within walking distance of the Inner Harbour; others are easily reached by car or public transportation.
All prices quoted here are based on an exchange rate of $1 (U.S.) to $1.28 (Canadian) and include relevant taxes unless otherwise noted. Events
Thirty thousand people are expected to flood the city during the XV Commonwealth Games, Aug. 18 to 28, a sports extravaganza featuring 3,000 athletes from 67 Commonwealth nations participating in events from lawn bowling and badminton to cycling and weight lifting. Tickets are about $7.80 to $98; call Ticketmaster-Canada, (604) 280-1994.
During the games, a free Harbor Festival will bring performers to the Inner Harbour each evening from Aug. 19 to 28. Entertainers representing Commonwealth countries include the 40-member Tonga Police Band, the National Dance Troupe of Malaysia and Kashtin, a rock and country band that performs in the Innu dialect of eastern Quebec. Continuous performances each evening begin at 6 and end with a 10:30 fireworks display. Information, Tourism Victoria, (604) 382-2127.
Victoria's eighth annual Fringe Theater Festival, Aug. 27 to Sept. 5, celebrates innovative theater with 50 international companies performing at six Victoria venues. Making their first appearance this year are troupes from Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Guyana and Ghana. Tickets cost up to about $5.50; (604) 383-2663.
Aficionados of boats built before 1955 will enjoy the Victoria Real Estate Board Classic Boat Festival, Sept. 2 to 4. Events, including a steam vessel parade, mock rescue rowing competitions and a variety of races, take place in the Inner Harbour, near Fisherman's Wharf or along the Gorge Waterway nearby. Information, (604) 385-7766. Sightseeing
The Victoria Harbor Ferry's bright green, 20-foot vessels depart from the Inner Harbour every 15 minutes and provide a good overview of the city's shoreline attractions during a 40-minute Harbor Route ($7.80) or a 50-minute Gorge Route ($9.40). The ferry also functions as a water taxi ($1.95 and up) to reach restaurants and other attractions. Information, Victoria Tourism (604) 382-2127.
Butchart Gardens, 13 miles north of Victoria on Benvenuto Road, always seems crowded, but it's worth a visit to see the exquisite formal displays. Begun in 1904 as a private effort to reclaim a worked-out quarry, the 50-acre site has an enormous rose garden, a stately Italian garden and a Japanese garden that manages to evoke a modicum of tranquillity in the midst of this tourist mecca. Open daily 9 A.M. to 10:30 P.M. Admission: $8.60, those aged 13 to 17 $4.50, children 5 to 12 $1.15; (604) 652-5256.
Closer to downtown Victoria, Point Ellice House, 2616 Pleasant Street, is a typical turn-of-the-century upper-middle-class home surrounded by charming gardens and a croquet lawn that guests can use. Open Thursday to Monday 11 A.M. to 5 P.M. Admission: $3.75, students and seniors 65 and older $2.75; (604) 380-6506. Another option is Beacon Hill Park, a 150-acre expanse two blocks southeast of the Inner Harbour, where visitors can stroll past colorful flower beds, rose gardens and groves of mature trees, or stop to watch a lively cricket match or sedate lawn bowling tournament.
The First People's Gallery at the Royal British Columbia Museum, 675 Belleville Street, provides an outstanding introduction to the province's indigenous peoples, including a superb collection of tribal arts, from carved masks and talking sticks (carved sticks held by Indians when they address their community) to ceremonial blankets covered with intricate designs made with buttons. Open daily 9:30 A.M. to 7 P.M. Admission: $3.90, seniors 65 and older $2.35, children 6 to 18 $1.55, children 5 and under free; (604) 387-3014. Where to Stay

hi hi hi! sorry for asking such a big question with my first post. Ive tried using the search feature but it didnt seem to want to work.
anyhoot, I am graduating this december as a fine arts major and so very recently I've been lurking indie game development forums - looking for work of course! I found a team looking for concept art and I felt I could rise to the challenge. I've been talking with them back and forth and they seem interested in giving me a shot, there is only one question left before I can start my very first work as an artist - pricing!
they want to know my prices. I have no bloody clue how the hell you price concept artwork for a game! These concept designs will be for the overall feel of the game world. They do not include character designs or elaborate details, but rather the environment that players will engage in. I did my own research on this team, they have made completed games that they do sell - so I can be assured they will complete this project.
my friend suggested $40 to $50 per concept design. does this sound accurate to you? I am not too picky on the prices. But I certainly don't want to be that artist that prices herself too cheaply and degrades the value of artwork for everyone else!

We consider the problem of determining the effective conductivity of a composite material consisting of parallel discs embedded in an isotropic matrix. A method of multipole expansion is used for computing the conductivity for the cases of perfectly conducting discs and non–conducting discs or penny–shaped cracks. Both the cases of periodic and random arrangements of discs or cracks are considered. It is shown that, in general, the conductivity is quite sensitive to the details of the arrangement of the discs. The results of computations are compared with those obtained using an effective–medium approximation and with a bound on conductivity.

As a head of state, there is the responsibility to not only protect the population, but also to care for their morale. The Redeker Plan is at its roots a blatant betrayal of a country's own population by its government. The Redeker Plan indeed forces governments to choose a small sect of people who have the ability to "preserve the legitimacy and stability of the government" (109), and relocate them to the safest sanctuary possible with the remaining resources they have. Assuming they survive the zombie outbreak, they would rebuild their country from the bare minimum.
However, this plan completely destroys team morale and nationalistic fervor, as the people who are selected for retreat to safe zones will continually face the guilt of leaving their friends, who are not chosen, to the zombie population. They would also face immense pressure, as their nation has placed the responsibility of rebuilding their society on their shoulders. The Redeker Plan is also very impractical, as seen through the lenses of Admiral Xu Zhicai. Although a country may devote their resources to help one small group survive "until the end of the crisis, or perhaps, the end of the world," (249) it will always be impossible to account for any mini-outbreaks in the community. Once a zombie appears in the small community, it will eventually infect a certain portion of the community that would necessitate civil conflict. For instance, Captain Chen is eventually forced to attack his own countrymen because of a mini-outbreak in the small island population of Manihi, which left Captain Chen with "hair [that] had lost its color, as white as prewar snow… skin [that] was sallow, [and] eyes sunken." (252) One single reanimation from within the community may be enough to spell the end of every human in the 'selected population.'
The case of Paris also sheds light on the civilians who are not 'chosen for survival' by the government. Even as "two hundred and fifty thousand refugees" (310) fled to the Catabombs' "subterranean world," (310) one single zombie was able to catalyze the death of all refugees who chose to seek sanctuary in the Catacombs and the reanimation of two hundred and fifty thousand more zombies. In the zombie war, the humans who are left behind by their government effectively defects to the 'other side,' which welcomes the humans with open arms.
The only option as a head of state in a zombie outbreak is to attack the zombies will full force. However, the most effective plan would be to attack "slow and safe, one section at a time, low speed, low intensity, low casualty rate." (314) Choosing to attack in the first place distinguishes humans, who fight, from zombies, who may be camouflaged amongst the humans retreating to a 'safe area.' This offensive plan is also beneficial because the entire population is asked to fight against the zombies in a total war. Why sacrifice the majority of the population for the survival of a small sect when there is the possibility of including all members of the country in a total war effort that increases morale and is also more practical?
Framing the zombie epidemic as a war creates an "us versus them" mentality. Humans do not recognize zombies as fighting for another country, but regard them as an entirely new species that only seek the destruction of the human population. Framing the zombie outbreak as an epidemic allows civilians to place responsibility on the government and its scientists to find a solution to the problem. However, presenting the outbreak as a war rallies the entire population, and the entire world together "under the common flag of survival." (247)

If a network mounting point is created and the specified server name is the same as the computer name (which is used by the system for SMB shares) then Windows Explorer sometimes stops showing SMB shares and only "shares" associated with CallbackFS network mounting points are visible.
It's a bug of Windows Explorer which incorrectly enumerates network redirectors and their shares. When there are several network redirectors registered and those redirectors provide shares with the same server name (for example "\\MyMachine") then Explorer can't show/enumerate all of these shares correctly.
Either use some "unique" server name, which is different from the SMB server name (for example instead of "V:;machine_name;share_name" use "V:;unique_server_name;share_name"), or use flags CBFS_SYMLINK_NETWORK_READ_NETWORK_ACCESS and/or CBFS_SYMLINK_NETWORK_WRITE_NETWORK_ACCESS. In the last case CallbackFS will create an SMB share which will be accessible via network.

Airway structure and function are key aspects of normal lung development, growth and aging, as well as of lung responses to the environment and the pathophysiology of important diseases such as asthma, COPD and fibrosis. In this regard, the contributions of airway smooth muscle (ASM) are both functional, in the context of airway contractility and relaxation, as well as synthetic, involving production and modulation of extracellular components, modulation of the local immune environment, cellular contribution to airway structure, and finally, interactions with other airway cell types such as epithelium, fibroblasts and nerves. These ASM contributions are now found to be critical in airway hyperresponsiveness and remodeling that occur in lung diseases. This perspective emphasizes established and recent discoveries that underline the central role of ASM, and sets the stage for future research towards understanding how ASM plays a central role by being both upstream and downstream in the many, interactive processes that determine airway structure and function in health and disease.

FFP Operating Partners Files for Bankruptcy
Mounting debt, increased competition force Texas retailer to seek Chapter 11 protection.
FORT WORTH, Texas -- FFP Operating Partners L.P. Thursday became the latest convenience store casualty, announcing it has filed a Chapter 11 petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division.
FFP operates approximately 280 convenience stores and gas stations in the Southwest under brands including Kwik Pantry, Nu-Way, Economy Drive-In, Taylor Food Mart and Drivers.
Like many of its peers in similar situations -- chains that included former retailing powerhouses such as Dairy Mart Convenience Stores, Convenience USA and Swifty Serve -- FFP became saddled with too much securitized debt while the competitive environment in the industry intensified, constraining the company's liquidity.
Still, Robert Byrnes, the company's president and CEO, said FFP had been working with its lenders and suppliers to conduct a debt restructuring, which it had hoped to complete without a Chapter 11 filing. A solid fiscal strategy could not be worked out.
"We have a very good core business around which we are going to reorganize, and we had hoped to do so without having to involve our trade vendors," Byrnes said. "Unfortunately, after one of our lenders sued us, we came to realize that the result we need to achieve for our creditors, employees and our other valued stakeholders can best be realized with the supervision of the bankruptcy court."
Byrnes expects that FFP's store operations will continue with little or no disruption as a result of the filing. "We have a long history of mutually profitable relations with our trade, a strong management team and loyal employees in our stores," he said. "We'll pull through this and emerge as a good borrower, strong partner with our vendors and a place our employees are proud to work."
Except for stores the company was evaluating as closure candidates before the Chapter 11 filing, FFP does not anticipate any additional store closings.
FFP has reportedly struggled financially for some time and was the subject of an unsolicited buyout bid.
Last August, FFP Partners rejected a buyout offer from San Francisco-based Sutter Holding Co. Inc. FFP said the board of trustees of its general partner has analyzed the offer and determined not to pursue the transaction. It didn't provide a reason why the board rejected the offer.
Joseph Leonardo, a member of FFP's board of directors, has been elected the company's chairman and will assist in the reorganization process. In addition, FFP has retained The Spectrum Capital Group, an Albuquerque, N.M.-based financial advisory firm specializing in restructurings, to provide strategic and financial advice during the Chapter 11 process.

None of these "green energy" projects ever made any economic sense. They are all just schemes to get taxpayer money to people who are politically connected.
That is all they have ever been.
Can you say "kickback ?"
I thought you could.
Someone needs to do some more digging on the white house servers to find out how many billions were thrown down the rat hole.
The after collecting a bunch of data there needs to be some arrests made.
EXACTLY. MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEMES for the Agenda 21 crowd in green energy. Of course some of that money comes directly back to 0bama's campaign via his 'green' donors full of green tax dollars.

Regulators given green light on EU net neutrality rules
EU telecoms regulator BEREC (Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications) has published its finalized guidelines this week on how NRAs (National Regulatory Authorities) should go about implementing new net neutrality rules, after a lengthy process of juggling more than 480,000 industry contributions.
The European Parliament wants clear rules to prevent internet access providers from promoting some services at the expense of others, and last year it adopted net neutrality regulations which were blasted for being far more lenient than those in the US. BEREC has stressed that its revised guidelines aim to provide a balance between giving consumers freedom while at the same time not going overboard on restricting operators.
Concerning zero rating, the practice of exempting some apps or types of traffic from counting towards a user's monthly data allowance, the guidelines now say that NRAs should allow some commercial practices such as accessing an ISP's service portal to purchase more data when a user has reached their data cap.
The guidelines note that an ISP could offer zero rating for an entire category of applications, such as all music streaming services, but cannot apply this to specific applications, such as its own streaming service – much like T-Mobile's BingeOn service in the US. This is because this practice creates an economic incentive to use one service over another. BEREC therefore says the practice of applying zero rating to specific applications is more likely to "undermine the essence of an end users' rights" or lead to circumstances where "end users' choice is materially reduced in practice."
On the other hand, once you close a market, and advantage existing players by allowing zero rating, it makes it tough to undo the damage at a later date when all video wants to travel OTT. This will become a more serious issue in the US over the coming months, following the news earlier this year that Dish will be joined by DirecTV in offering OTT content on any broadband line.
Another BEREC guideline revision is the addition of the category "5G services using network slicing" as one of the specialized services which telcos can offer, which also includes VoLTE as a category. However, BEREC reinforces that these services must not connect to the internet and must not constitute an alternative for an internet access service.
The rules state that ISPs can only block or slow down internet traffic in three areas of exception; compliance with other laws, preservation of integrity and security, and congestion management issues. It was just two years ago when BEREC reported that several ISPs were blocking or slowing down services like Skype, used to make phone calls over the internet – and this swiftly became an illegal practice.
Immediately after BEREC's announcement this week, the association for broadband cable operators, Cable Europe, jumped straight in with criticism – urging NRAs to take caution and claiming the guidelines will stifle innovation.
Such is the desperation of European telcos that in July this year, a group of 17 operators bizarrely proposed that the European Commission should water down its net neutrality rules in exchange for an enhanced push in the development of 5G technologies. The group included BT, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia and Vodafone, according to the Financial Times.
BEREC says that in the future it will foster the ongoing exchange of experiences by NRAs of their implementation of the regulations.
BEREC received 481,547 contributions before the deadline on July 18th, including those from respondents in civil society, public institutions and independent experts, ISPs, content and application providers and other industry stakeholders.
European Commission VP Andrus Ansip and European commissioner Günther Oettinger said jointly in a statement, "our rules, and today's guidelines, avoid fragmentation in the single market, create legal certainty for businesses and make it easier for them to work across border. They also ensure that the internet remains an engine for innovation and that advanced technologies and Internet of Things services like connected vehicles as well as 5G applications are developed today, and will flourish in the future."
Matthias Kurth, Executive Chairman of Cable Europe, said, "we believe that the ambitions of the Digital Single Market strategy are shared by industry and legislators alike. We recognize that the potential for digital transformation must not be fettered by overly prescriptive rules that will stifle innovation and put lead boots on the boundless potential of our digital technology.
"Much rests now on the use of these guidelines by regulators, which whilst allowing National Regulatory Authorities the necessary autonomy could result in a negative outcome for progressive innovation. We urge the NRAs to embrace the ambitions of the Digital Single Market, and look forward to working with them as we turn the potential of Europe's digital future into a reality," added Kurth.

text: World 1 July 2002 America - Andrew Stephen feels the rising heat Arizona burns while, in Alaska, the roads sag and the forests die. Dramatic climate change is hittin Sign up for our weekly email * I remember once flying into Novosibirsk, into the heart of Siberia, and being amazed at the monumental mosquitoes that immediately came out to greet me. Mosquitoes in Siberia? Then again, I've always been convinced that mosquitoes make a beeline for me wherever I am in the world: in America, I believe, they have a radio network and tell each other excitedly: "That English guy's in town. Let's go." But I digress. The point is that there is now nowhere to escape the curse of mosquitoes in this, a country of nearly all climates. Barrow, the northernmost settlement in the United States - in the farthest reaches of Alaska, and 16 degrees north of Novosibirsk - is currently experiencing its first ever plague of mosquitoes. Not far away, forest fires have been burning since the middle of May, according to a shock report on Alaska's ecology in the New York Times. Permafrost is no longer permanent; the resultant flooding is eroding away towns. A four-million-acre spruce forest on the Kenai Peninsula is being destroyed by spruce-eating beetles that are reproducing as never before - the biggest loss of trees to insects ever recorded in the US. My friend Ted Stevens, the senior senator from Alaska, says that Alaska is being more badly hit by global warming than anywhere else in the world; "sagging roads, crumbling villages, dead forests, catastrophic fires and disruption of marine wildlife" are the result. In case we were in any doubt as to what is happening in this far north-western part of the US, the Bush administration's own Environmental Protection Agency says in a draft report: "There can no longer be any doubt that major changes in the climate have occurred in recent decades in the region, with visible and measurable consequences." The most astonishing statistic of all is that Alaska, with 40 per cent of the nation's surface water and 63 per cent of its wetlands, has experienced a rise in temperature of seven degrees Fahrenheit in the past three decades. Academics expect a further 18-degree rise by the end of this century. Given that most increases in climate warming are measured in fractions of a degree, what is happening to Alaska is truly staggering. President Bush is, yes, concerned about all this strange climate stuff. He flew in to Arizona last Tuesday, where he saw fires that had so far consumed about 47,000 square miles. More than 30,000 people have been displaced from their homes; the Fort Apache Indian Reservation and two counties, Navajo and Apache, have been badly hit. Declaring the area a federal emergency site, Bush told Arizonans: "A lot of people in our country are pulling for you." But hardly in his own administration. When the Environmental Protection Agency put out that report, the White House itself was dismissive and reiterated its position: global warming does not exist - but even if it does, measures to deal with it must be voluntary. We must drive our gas-guzzling SUVs less, that sort of thing. The biggest producer of crude oil in the US is Dubbya's state, Texas - Alaska comes next - and, according to the EPA, the burning of refined products from crude oil is the greatest single contributor to rising temperatures. But this, lest we forget, is the oilman's administration; under Bush's laissez-faire policies, greenhouse emission levels will actually increase over the next decade. Indeed, the very lifeblood symbolising the shoulder-shrugging inertia in Washington could itself be in jeopardy. The 800-mile trans-Alaska pipeline, which carries a million barrels of petroleum per day to the continental US, and accounts for 17 per cent of the nation's oil production, is in danger because - with most of the pipeline above ground - the underlying surface has become unstable with the increasing heat. "We've had so many strange events, things are so different than they used to be, that I think most Alaskans now believe something profound is going on," says Dr Glenn Juday, a climate expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. "We're experiencing indisputable climate warning." An Alaskan native, Caleb Dungowigi, told a Senate committee: "To us living on the Arctic coastline, sea ice is our lifeline. The long-term trend is very scary." As firefighters from Alaska to Arizona and Colorado, fighting very different environmental battles, will doubtless confirm. So far, 2.2 million acres of land in America have burned this year. And yes, I know that wildfires can be beneficial ecologically - they help some types of eucalyptus tree to multiply, for example - but we all know in our bones that we are not just experiencing a climatic swing. Flames have shot 500ft high in Arizona, walls of flame 100ft long and 20 blocks wide have engulfed the state. In the words of Dr Juday, something profound is happening: and Dubbya is complacently fiddling while his country burns.
