"Yeah, that sounds great!" was Jared's response when I asked him.
The only other thing he wanted to know was… who would do the fucking?
I showed him a picture of Kurt.
"Oh yeah, I've seen him on the site," Jared said with a big smile. "He's hot."
"You going to be OK with his cock?" I asked. "It's pretty big."
"Yeah, it won't be a problem," he said. "It's going to be fun!"
After seeing Kurt plow Jared's ass, I definitely got the impression that Jared had done it before… but I could be wrong!

Jim, are you sure you contacted the right site???
Our website is dedicated to EXPOSING bullshit scams like yours, not pawning them off as legitimate offers to our community of men around the world. We already teach men how to attract women THE RIGHT WAY. Why would we ever go backwards???
Maybe you just don't like video sales letters? I made one simply to sell more copies of my system that has already helped men all over the world and is most definitely not a scam. I'm sure you know how much work, research, testing, etc. goes into making a program that actually works based on reality. For me it took 12 years to develop.
I sincerely hope you have an excellent day.
This is called lying.As ironic as it sounds coming from a book about how to attract and keep your ideal women, the first thing to do is stop trying so hard to get women. The less you need, the more you'll get. And it's not in a defensive, "I don't need a woman to be happy!" kind of way. It's more like, "I love myself and my life so much that even though I really want her I will also be completely fine if it doesn't work out with her." That's the golden attitude that will get you maximum results.
This is called "wishful thinking."Here's the truth: you already have the quality of attractiveness. You don't have to do anything more to get it and you don't have to prove it to yourself or anyone else. Remember, oak trees grow from tiny seeds. Your belief in your attractiveness is just like a muscle that we can train until it gets bigger no matter how small it is to begin with. All you have to do is start where you are now and grow it.
When you start to believe that you're attractive, even just a little bit, it starts to influence your behaviors and habits. Then, you'll actually become more attractive in your real life. Then, your belief gets even stronger and the cycle keeps going.
This is absurd bullshit.1. Accept yourself completely exactly as you are right now. There's nothing wrong with you. You don't need a better body, a better car, a better house, a promotion, more women, or more stuff. You can pursue those things if you want, but you're good enough already. You never have to prove yourself or convince anyone of your value. It's just there.
This is comical bullshit.2. Remove judgement. If you stop judging other people, it will also help you accept yourself. Don't worry about what other people are doing wrong in their lives. If you have advice for someone else, apply it to your own life instead. Focus only on yourself as you learn and grow.
This is laughably bad.3. Increase your self-worth. Who determines your value as a man? Your culture doesn't, your family doesn't, your friends don't, and women don't. From now on, you do. The most successful men believe in their own value unconditionally. Self-worth isn't something you earn; it's something that you CLAIM (you can claim it right now). Self-worth isn't the same thing as cockiness or narcissism because you're not saying that you're better than anyone else. It's just that, in your reality, you've decided that you're awesome. "I'm not better or worse than anyone else; I'm just awesome."
This is embarrassingly bad.The interesting thing about validation is that you give it to yourself no matter what. Even if it appears that the external world is validating you, you just decided that because of some external stimulus or outcome you deserved to feel validated, so you let yourself feel that validation. So now you can consistently validate yourself and make yourself feel good. When you recognize your value and reinforce it by validating yourself, your self-worth becomes real value that you can share with the women you date and everyone else you meet.
This is uncomfortably bad.Her love is always conditional, so it's your job to love yourself unconditionally. This might sound strange, but one really good way to practice self-love is to look yourself in the mirror (look at yourself in the eye) and say, "I love you."
You get the idea.
We've been at this for YEARS, teaching men how to socialize. This isn't our first rodeo. We've been debunking these silly claims for as long as we've been around. That's why guys in your line of work hate us. They hate that we are willing to have the debate that they cower from.
Our work stands above the rest BECAUSE we invite criticism. Not because we make excuses for our work. Our commitment is to MEN, not to scam artists looking to make a quick buck off of their naivety.
And as for your "research and testing" we call BULLSHIT.
Of course you're welcome to prove us wrong in a live webcam debate. But we both know you lack the requisite BRAINS, BALLS, & the ability to tell the TRUTH.

Aditya Chopra's ex wife sets out on her own
Tuesday, 18 March 2008
Payal Malhotra, the estranged wife of Aditya Chopra, is not one to sit and mourn over her divorce. She has caught up with life after the divorce and is all set to make television shows for a new satellite channel.
And guess who is supporting her in all these ventures? It is her own ma-in-law Pam Chopra and pa-in-law Yash Chopra! They have recommended her to the channel.
Industry sources reveal that Payal has got many innovative ideas and that she will be the one to watch out for.
Apparently Yash and Pam Chopra are not happy with their son's decision to leave Payal and marry Rani Mukerji, and are trying their best to help their daughter-in-law out of this tough phase.

S PROVING THEY CARE: A pair of Anglo scientists highlighted their contributions to the field of autism study at an international conference in Jerusalem this week. The conference, held Wednesday and Thursday, explored "top research and technologies that can help families dealing with autism," according to the organizer, New York-based ICare4autism. Andrew Schiffmiller, a New York native who graduated from Johns Hopkins University and is CEO of BioHug, discussed a special vest that his company invented to lower stress levels of autistic people by "applying deep, hug like, pressure." The device has so far received two Israeli government grants. Professor Tamar Weiss of Haifa University, who received her Ph.D. from Canada's McGill University, presented her findings on applying "media and technology to increase social skills, speech, independence and learning for children with autism spectrum disorder," the organization announced. ICare4autism was founded by Joshua Weinstein to act as a catalyst and drive for autism research worldwide.
S A DASH OF ZIONISM, A PINCH OF HI-TECH: It's not every day that a celebrity moves to Israel, so it's a rare treat to see how a public personality prepares for the big day. Nefesh B'Nefesh is showing us just that, with its website postings of "The Joy of Aliyah." The series of videos feature chef Jamie Geller, the former TV writer and producer for networks such as CNN and HBO, kosher cook book author, and host of the joyofkosher.com website. Geller, a Philadelphia native who became Orthodox in her 20s and now lives in New Hempstead, New York, will be immigrating to Israel on August 13. NBN is following the final preparations being made by Geller and her family of seven before they settle into their new home in Beit Shemesh. The latest episode depicts the decisions Geller has to make for what to put into her shipping container, known as "the lift." NBN's Yael Katzman told Anglo File that Geller approached the immigration assistance organization with the idea of documenting her move. "She's extremely excited about coming and she wanted something to be inspirational for other Jews," Katzman said. "It's the first ime we're doing something like this."
S TALKING TALMUD IN ENGLISH: More than 4,000 men, women and children will be celebrating the end of a seven-and-a-half-year cycle of Talmud study on Sunday. They will gather at the Jerusalem Convention Center for a Siyyum Hashas, an event to officially complete the current cycle of Daf Yomi, a worldwide program that has Jews around the world studying one page of Talmud every day. The Jerusalem gathering will be the largest-ever English language Siyyum Hashas in Israel. It will be punctuated with addresses by several rabbinic luminaries "from across the entire spectrum of Israel's Orthodox community," according to its organizers, Jerusalem-based International Media Placement and Kollel Iyun Hadaf. Speakers will include: R. Aharon Feldman, the rosh yeshiva of Baltimore's Ner Yisroel; R. Tzvi Kushelevsky, rosh yeshiva of Heichal Hatorah in Jerusalem; R. Mendel Weinbach (who was raised in Pittsburgh ), rosh yeshiva of Jerusalem's Ohr Sameyach; and Jerusalem-based spiritual leader R. Yitzchak Berkowitz, who was raised in Brooklyn. Some 90,000 people gathered for a similar celebration at MetLife stadium in New Jersey this week.

It almost looks comical how much water shoots out the side of the hull even at low speeds. I know its not the most hydro-dynamic piece, but there is no doubt that my esc is getting all the cool water it can handle. I will definitely be using more of these!!

Despite its location in a narrow river valley between some of Thailand's most breathtaking tea plantations and a remote stretch of the Burmese border, Baan Thoet Thai, in Chiang Rai, doesn't look like much at first. The surrounding mountains have been mercilessly deforested, and the town clings to a dusty, scruffy strip of road where people drive too fast and where there seem to be more karaoke bars than restaurants. But it does have an interesting history: in its previous life as Baan Hin Taek (Broken Stone Village), Baan Thoet Thai was, during the late '70s and early '80s, a hideout for Khun Sa, the notorious Shan narco-warlord once dubbed the 'Opium King'. Get off the main strip and you'll also find one of Thailand's most diversely populated small towns. The bulk of the village's inhabitants appear to be Shan, but there are also many Chinese, the descendants of KMT fighters who originally fled communist takeover in 1949. There are also quite a few Akha, and the area is thought to be home to the first settlement of this group in Thailand. Other groups living in the area include Lahu, Hmong, Tai Lue, Lua and Liso.
This diversity is most apparent at the village's morning market, where these groups converge to buy and sell ingredients and dishes unique to their cuisines, bizarre goods imported from Myanmar, fruit trucked in from China, and edibles scrounged from the surrounding forests. It's really one of the more unique markets in Thailand.

Processing the Message
All of the components described so far play a part in the processing of messages as they flow through BizTalk Server. This section provides more detail about how these components interact functionally, beginning with receiving a message. The following figure shows the make-up of a receive port and the flow of a message through the receive process.
A receive port consists of one or more receive locations and zero or more maps. Maps are Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) style sheets used to transform XML messages from one structure or format to another and are often used in the receive process to normalize messages into an internal format. Receive locations control the endpoints that receive the messages. A receive location consists of the configuration of an endpoint for a receive adapter, and a receive pipeline.
The Role of the Adapter
The receive adapter initiates the process of receiving messages by reading a stream of data and creating a message. For example, the file adapter sees that a file has been placed in its configured location and reads that file in a stream. The adapter creates a message (an implementation of the Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage interface), adds a part to it (an implementation of the Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBasePart interface), and provides the stream of data as the part content.
In addition, the adapter writes and promotes into the message context properties related to the location, adapter type, and others related to the adapter. After the message and its context have been created, the adapter passes the message to the Endpoint Manager. The message is then processed through the receive pipeline, which has been configured for the receive location. After the message has been processed by the pipeline, a map may be used to transform the message into the format desired before the Endpoint Manager publishes the message with the Message Agent.
The Role of the Pipeline
While it is the adapter that creates the initial message, most of the processing that occurs on a received message happens in the receive pipeline. Pipeline processing deals with message content as well as message context. Message content is generally handled in the decoding, disassembling, and validating stages, while message context can be handled in all stages. A pipeline, however, does not necessarily act on either the content or the context. For example, the default pass-through pipeline has no components configured and performs no processing on the message content or context. For simplicity, this document focuses on the disassembling components as they generally have the greatest impact on message routing.
The job of the disassembler is to process an incoming message from an adapter and to disassemble it into many messages, and parse the message data. When an incoming message has many smaller messages, this is known as an interchange. Both the flat file disassembler and the XML disassembler handle interchanges by enabling a developer to configure information about the wrapping content (that is, a header and trailing schema for the flat file disassembler and an envelope schema for the XML disassembler) and the (potentially repeating) body content. In addition, both of these disassemblers parse the original message into XML content. A custom disassembler does not necessarily parse the content into XML if further XML processing in BizTalk Server is not required. An example scenario might include a simple routing situation in which messages entering the system at a particular receive location are sent to a specific send port with no mapping or other XML-based processing.
Routing with the Message Type
One of the most common message properties used in routing is the message type. When a developer creates a schema to define the structure of messages, this schema defines the message type for that message. The type is determined by the root node and namespace in the schema definition. For example, an XML document that looks like the following would have a message type of http://tempuri.org/samples/MessageType#Message
<Message xmlns=http://tempuri.org/samples/MessageType>
<SomeOtherElement type="sample"/>
To use message type in routing, it must be promoted into the context. Disassemblers are used to promote this value into the message context as well as the pipeline components with the most specific knowledge of message structure. The XML and Flat File disassemblers promote the message type as they are processing messages, and any custom disassembler should also promote this property to ensure proper routing.
It is important to note that a message is not required to have a type. As mentioned previously, the parts of a message can be any binary data and need not have a schema that defines their structure. This type of message part is generally passed through BizTalk Server without much, if any, processing done on it by BizTalk Server itself, though custom pipeline components, adapters, or code called from orchestrations may interact with these parts.
Pipeline components, like adapters, also write and promote properties into the message context. In fact, pipeline components are the most common mechanism most developers use to get properties into the message context. Developers create schemas and can promote properties in the schema. This information is stored in the schema as annotations which can then be used by pipeline components. All of the built-in disassembler and assembler components - FlatFile, XML, and BizTalk Framework - use the document schema to retrieve information about the properties that are to be promoted. Using the XML Path Language (XPath) statement from the annotations, the disassembler knows the location in the document of elements to be promoted. During the process of streaming through the document, the disassembler finds those elements that match one of the XPath statements and promotes or writes the value into the context as appropriate.
Custom pipeline components can also be written to handle getting properties into the context for arbitrary data in a received or sent message. In order to promote a property into the context and have it be useful for routing, which is presumably why the value is being promoted, a property schema with a definition for the property should be created and deployed to BizTalk Server. Before you define a property schema to be used by custom components, you should understand the different types of promoted properties. Promoted properties defined in a property schema can have one of two base types:
A property with a base type of MessageDataPropertyBase indicates that the value for this property comes from the content of the message. This is the default value for properties defined in a property schema and is the most common usage. MessageContextPropertyBase indicates a property that is intended to be part of the message context but does not necessarily come from the message data directly. Properties with MessageContextPropertyBase as their base type are often promoted by adapters and disassemblers and include common properties such as message type and adapter type.
It is important to understand the different types and use them appropriately when defining properties. One of the most significant implications occurs when accessing context properties for a message in an orchestration. If a property is identified as a MessageDataPropertyBase, the Orchestration Designer examines the schema of the message being received and ensures that it defines a matching promoted property. If no property is found in the schema tied to the promoted property being accessed, then the Designer does not allow you to access it. On the other hand, if the property is defined as being a MessageContextPropertyBase, the message type does not matter and the property can be accessed.
In custom pipelines, the mechanism for promoting or writing properties to the context is very similar. For writing properties, you use a call to the IBaseMessageContext Write method to place the value in the context. For promoted properties, you simply use the IBaseMessageContext Promote method instead. Each of these methods takes a property name, a namespace, and value. For the promoted properties, the name and namespace are those of the property defined in the property schema and are most easily accessed by referencing the property schema assembly and using the properties on the class created for the property. Distinguished fields use a common namespace, http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/btsDistinguishedFields, and the XPath expression used to retrieve the value is usually used as the name.
The code below shows an example of both promoting and writing properties into the context. Note that in this example, a distinguished field is being written into the context. This is only useful for orchestrations in which the message schema identifies the distinguished field so that the Orchestration Designer knows about the field. It may be useful to write properties into the context for use by other pipeline components on the receiving or sending side.
//create an instance of the property to be promoted
SOAP.MethodName methodName = new SOAP.MethodName();
//call the promote method on the context using the property class for name
//and namespace
pInMsg.Context.Promote(methodName.Name.Name, methodName.Name.Namespace,
//write a distinguished field to the context
Keep the following facts in mind when writing or promoting values into the context:
Writing a value into the context with the same name and namespace that were used previously to promote the property causes that property to no longer be promoted. The write essentially overwrites the promotion.
Writing a value of null into the context deletes the value, because null-valued properties are not permitted.
Promoted properties are limited to 256 characters in length while written properties have no length limitation.
Promoted properties are used in message routing and are limited in size for reasons of efficiency in comparison and storage. While written properties have no hard limits on size, using excessively large values in the context will have an impact on performance, because those values must still be processed and passed with the message.
When a message is ready to be sent from BizTalk Server, it undergoes a complementary process in the send port. Maps are applied to messages before the send pipeline is executed, allowing a message to be transformed to a customer or application-specific format before being processed by the pipeline and sent through the adapter. In the send pipeline, instead of promoting properties into the message context, properties are demoted from the context into the message.

Zimbabwean scientists honoured in Berlin
BH24 Reporter
Two young Zimbabwean scientists were honoured for their outstanding work in sustainable development at this year's Green Talents awards held in Berlin yesterday.
Melissa Sikosana and Nkulumo Zinyengere were among the 25 'green visionaries' to receive the prestigious title which was awarded for the sixth time to some of tomorrow's leading scientists in the field of sustainable development.
German Federal Minister of Education and Research Professor Johanna Wanka stressed the importance of the Green Talents Programme for future international science cooperation.
"I note with great pleasure that over the years there has not only been a steady increase in the number of prize-winners but also in the amount of attention received and the international renown of the Green Talents Programme. In the meantime, this award is an internationally recognized prize for young researchers in the field of sustainability research.
"The global sustainability goals can only be achieved through scientific cooperation and the exchange of knowledge. This calls for personal meetings between young scientists across national borders. Therefore I warmly welcome this year's Green Talents in Germany," she said.
A high-ranking jury of experts annually selects the winners, who in 2014 had to compete against over 800 applicants from more than 100 countries.
The awardees were invited to participate in the two-week "Green Talents – International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development", during which they visited top locations for sustainability research in Germany. Here, they gained a deeper insight into the country's innovation system, learned about state-of-the-art approaches and technologies, and exchanged ideas with the country's leading experts in individual meetings.

text: This tea is okay… The dry leaf is nice, though the cut-off rosebuds remind me of Morticia Addams cutting off the roses in the Addams Family movie. The taste is another thing. It definitely tastes tropical… More of an upscale tropical-type feeling though, not the normal "tropical punch" flavor. The sweet, red cold medicine flavor of the rooibos comes through, and its fine, but probably not a blend I'd buy again. I'll save it for when I'm sick and can appreciate it.

The Greek dramatist Sophocles, born to a wealthy family at Colonus, near Athens, was admired as a boy for his personal beauty and musical skill. He served faithfully as a treasurer and general for Athens when it was expanding its empire and influence. In the dramatic contests, he defeated Aeschylus in 468 b.c. for first prize in tragedy, wrote a poem to Herodotus (see Vol. 3), and led his chorus and actors in mourning for Euripides just a few months before his own death. He wrote approximately 123 plays, of which 7 tragedies are extant, as well as a fragment of his satiric play, Ichneutae (Hunters). His plays were produced in the following order: Ajax (c.450 b.c.), Antigone (441 b.c.), Oedipus Tyrannus (c.430 b.c.), Trachiniae (c.430 b.c.), Electra (between 418 and 410 b.c.), Philoctetes (409 b.c.), and Oedipus at Colonus (posthumously in 401 b.c.). With Sophocles, Greek tragedy reached its most characteristic form. He added a third actor, made each play independent---that is, not dependent on others in a trilogy---increased the numbers of the chorus, introduced the use of scenery, shifted the focus from religious to more philosophical issues, and brought language and characters, though still majestic, nearer to everyday life. His finely delineated characters are responsible for the tragedy that befalls them, and they accept it heroically. Aristotle (see Vols. 3, 4, and 5) states that Sophocles said he portrayed people as they ought to be; Euripides, as they are. His utter command of tragic speech in the simple grandeur of his choral odes, dialogues, and monologues encourages the English reader to compare him to Shakespeare (see Vol. 1).

Egypt's soccer federation (EFA) is set to meet on Monday to discuss, among other things, whether or not to replace coach Bob Bradley, who presided over the national
team's 6-1 mauling away to Ghana on Tuesday in the first-leg of a two-game series that sends the winner to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The EFA said that the meeting is regarding "the events" of the Ghana game, but Bradley's immediate role is suspected to be on the agenda amid reports that he will likely be asked to step aside for the second-leg next month.
As Reuters reports, Egypt also has a problem over the venue for the second leg after initially electing to play the game in Cairo, the capital, which has been beset by political turmoil since 2011. Ghana asked FIFA to reconsider that decision and Egyptian authorities have been tasked with providing security guarantees by Oct. 28.

The Last Full Measure of Devotion
An Essay by NPR's Scott Simon
After this week, we'll probably be reluctant to call people who can dunk a basketball or play a cowboy convincingly a "hero." These people can be talented, tough, and even brave. But this week, we have seen genuine heroes. Most of them have familiar-looking but unfamous faces. Caked with ash, sweat, tears, and blood, they are the firefighters, police officers, ambulance workers, and emergency crews who rushed up the forbidding stairs of burning buildings when the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were pierced by airplanes and began to burn.
While thousands of people tried to run from the blast to seek shelter and safety, they ran willingly into the fire and smoke and glass. A couple of hundred firefighters and 40 police officers may have died in that kind of wreckage. Peter Ganci was New York's fire chief, 54 years old and a father of two other firefighters. William Feehan, a deputy fire commissioner, was 71. As much as any solider, they died in the line of fire.
Maybe it's unwise for any journalist to call any politician a hero. But I am pressed to find another word for Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. This week, he became what amounts to a wartime leader, walking bravely over rubble, cheering shattered hearts, vowing that the city would survive. This week, America needed a jolt of New York nerve and moxy in its blood. Mayor Giuliani reminded us of the tough and beautiful stuff of which New York is made.
There are, of course, many more heroes: construction workers lifting crushing steel with their hands and arms to try to answer the call of people trapped in rubble, soldiers called to duty, volunteers who have driven overnight to offer the simplest and most necessary human gifts to keep life going -- food, clothing, kindness.
And then there are the passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93. When they learned that the hijacking of their plane was part of a plot to bomb some of America's most famous emblems, some of the passengers determined to stop them. Several passengers called loved one from air. They described the hijackers and their plans and said that though they would probably die themselves, they would die trying to keep their plane from killing others.
When the plane came down in western Pennsylvania, it crashed into an unpopulated field. As much as anyone who fell in battle at Normandy or Gettysburg, the people aboard Flight 93 were heroes. They saw the chance to save life as a gift and gave their own. They gave their family, friends, total strangers -- gave their country what Lincoln called at Gettysburg the last full measure of devotion.

Playing games makes your child clever
Why a farm shop in the nursery and a Hollywood studio in school could hold the key to success
Gabriella is a seven-year-old at a state primary school in Hertfordshire. But when her teacher asks her to put on a pair of giant gold heart-shaped glasses to read over her work, she is suddenly a child of the Russian revolution.
All around Goldfield school are touches of a new teaching system adopted in September. The approach — pioneered by a psychologist in Moscow in the 1920s — has just been rediscovered in the West. In the US it is now hailed by thousands of parents as a fast-track to success for their children. Greater research is being conducted to see if the dramatic advances seen in pilot nurseries are too good to be true.

About the Book
Alice White has a secret. There is no friend or family member she can confide in—and she cannot trust it to the strangers she chooses for the fevered one-night stands that are as close as she dares come to love. Then she meets Erik Summers, college professor and biologist, who draws Alice from her cage, igniting a passion within her that she can't control or deny. Though he shares her fire and a deep spiritual and emotional kinship, Erik recoils from Alice's apparent delusions and dark truths. But in the vast Canadian wilderness, he will be forced to confront a staggering reality—when the moon shines down on Alice White . . . and the change begins again.
Dennis Danvers's Wilderness is a spellbinding, erotically charged novel of love and transformation.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Erowid Center, Grass Valley, CA, USA
I stumbled upon Erowid back in college when I was researching drugs and was surprised to find it full of useful information. I never once felt like I was being judged or lectured when reading the site, whereas many drug sites spend more time trying to convince you not to do them, as opposed to actually educating you. Erowid is rather unbiased and allows users to share their experiences, both positive and negative. Most of the time reading the experiences causes me to stay away from the drug, and this works far more than the "war on drugs" scare tactics most other sites use. At least the choices I make are more educated due to Erowid--maybe people would make smarter decisions if they had all the information. Erowid provides this.

A MAN is due to appear in court this morning charged with arson following a series of incidents in Winchester.
Sean Anthony Clements, 47, from Jewry Street in Winchester is to appear at Basingstoke Magistrate's court following fires at the Deanery in Cathedral Close, the Phase Eight shop in High Street and the Bengal Sage restaurant off Upper Brook Street on Tuesday night.
The first fire damaged the Deanery Book Shop which raises money for Winchester Cathedral.
The Phase Eight shop was empty at the time of the attack while the fire at the restaurant was quickly extinguished after it was discovered by staff.
He is charged with four counts of arson, one count of actual bodily harm, and three counts of racially aggravated public order offences.


text: But that's the interface side. On the underlying mechanics side, the high-level game was also getting out of control. Balancing things was getting insane. So I chose the better part of valor and wussed out. Things are a lot more "level-based" in the game now than I originally intended, but frankly I didn't see a clear path out of this without a serious round of simplification. There were basically too many moving parts in the underlying rules system, and as I deduced from literally hundreds of feedback forms, nobody was really clear how things were working under the hood anyway. It didn't make a difference to anybody. So I replaced some of the more "simulation-esque" rules for simpler, more game-y rules.

SAN MARCOS -- Boy Scouts Rene Arias and Nick Hiatt grabbed their rakes and dragged them across the mulch, purposefully placing it around a bed of newly sown plants at Jack's Pond Park on Saturday morning.
"The Boy Scouts are here to help the environment with wildlife and making a garden," said Rene, 11, of San Marcos. He was one of about 100 volunteers who spent their morning at the park transforming a former drainage area into a garden of native and drought-tolerant plants to supplement the park's outdoor education program. "It's very fun."
The event, which was headed by the San Marcos Rotary Club, was a part of theregional Rotarians at Work Day.
With the help of other groups, such as the Paloma Elementary School Gifted and Talented Education program, the Vallecitos Water District and Boy Scout Troop 668, volunteers planted more than 600 new plants. The garden is divided into four "communities" of plants with related or complementary growing habits -- chaparral, oak woodland, western sycamore and coastal sage -- all boasting varieties of native flora, including sage, oak, sumac, lilac, monkey flower and lemonade berry.
"A lot of different groups use the park, and we're creating a variety of habitats," said Bill Schramm, a San Marcos Rotary Club member and the community services director for the city of San Marcos.
The planting was entirely dependent on community involvement -- in addition to volunteer hours, plants for the project were provided by grants made possible by the San Marcos Rotary Club, San Diego Native Plant Association and other local groups.
"We want to have it so all the community groups feel like this is theirs," Schramm said. "Especially for those participating in the planting, this will forever be a place they remember, which is what community service ought to be."
The garden will be an integral part of Jack's Pond nature programs, in which kids from preschool to third grade learn about water conservation, geology and native plants and animals by hiking through the park, exploring the pond and visiting the on-site nature center.
The 23-acre park is open to the public and often hosts field trips for local schools, as well as serving as a learning place for local community members and homeowners, said Susan La Joie, the director of Jack's Pond Nature Center.
"When you develop land, you do not necessarily need to plant non-natives," La Joie said. "If you want to attract wildlife, like butterflies, putting in native plants is what you should do. We're trying to let people know that native plants are not necessarily ugly or difficult to grow, and they save water."
Those lessons became apparent to the volunteers who hauled through Jack's Pond Park, unloading wheelbarrows of mulch and carefully settling flowering shrubs into the ground.
"It's just a great opportunity to do something for the community and for the Earth," said San Marcos resident Callie Kassow, who came to the planting with her 9-year-old son, a Paloma Elementary School student. "And it gets the kids outside."
Said San Marcos Rotary Club member Robin Turner: "It's something we all wanted to do."

Arun Kolatkar (1932), works in Bombay for an advertising agency. He is a bilingual poet who writes in both English and Marathi. His Jejuri published in 1976 won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize awarded for the best first book of poetry in English. His works have appeared in Opinion, Literary Quarterly, New Writing in India (Penguin) and The Shell and the Rain (George Allen & Unwin, 1973).
Kolatkar's first long poem The Boatride has come up for considerable critical attention. The poem strikes the reader as a series of snapshots presenting scenes which shift constantly from the movement of the pair of knees streaking up and down to the spreading of the sail, the appearance of the stony-faced woman and her child. The surge of the sea which provides the basic rhythm to the poem lends a sense of unity and continuity to the whole poem bringing the snapshot perceptions into a well-unified orchestration.
Jejuri is again a long poem written in thirty-one sections and this is perhaps Kolatkar's best work. The poem has been considered as "the poet's irreverent Odyssey to the temple of Khandoba at Jejuri, a small town in Western Maharashtra" (R. Parthasarathy). Written in a style which is ironic and humorous the poem has a colloquial flavour which goes well with the level at which life is portrayed.
The poem is actually about the spiritual journey of the city-bred man to the temple at Jejuri and each of the thirty-one sections is a poem in itself and together they make for a pattern of pilgrimage, namely the arrival, the round of visits and the return. The irony of the entire work lies in the fact that it is a pilgrimage without any religious or spiritual purpose or vision and that the "pilgrim" shows little interest in or sensitivity to the presence of so many gods in the place.
"The Bus" is the first poem in the series and describes the arrival of the pilgrim at Jejuri on a rainy dawn.This Page Is Sponsored By

Press Release: Statement by IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn at the Conclusion of His Visit to Brazil
March 3, 2011
March 3, 2011
Mr. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today in Brasília at the conclusion of his visit to Brazil:
"It has been a great pleasure to visit Brazil and meet President Dilma Rousseff, as well as minister Guido Mantega and new central bank governor Alexandre Tombini. I thank them for productive discussions, and the Brazilian authorities for their kindness and hospitality.
"Brazil today embodies many of the challenges confronting emerging market economies. According to figures just released today, the country grew 7.5 percent in 2010, its fastest rate in 25 years. That is an impressive recovery from the 2008–09 crisis and demonstrates that sound economic management over the last decade has increased the resilience of the Brazilian economy to external shocks.
"That resilience is mainly based on the three pillars of fiscal responsibility, inflation targeting and a flexible exchange rate, as well as a skillful use of countercyclical policies during the crisis. A relatively favorable international environment, particularly ample international liquidity and high commodity prices, meant Brazil was able to effectively contain the negative effects of the crisis.
"However, new challenges arise from the success of recent years. In the short term, it will be important to set an appropriate policy mix to contain inflationary pressures and ensure sustainable economic growth over the medium-term, while managing the challenges associated with large capital inflows.
"Over the medium-term, the key challenge is to raise the growth potential of the economy and continue to make progress towards the reduction of poverty and inequality, so as the current prosperity lays the foundation for sustained economic growth that will benefit future generations and help more and more Brazilians to raise above poverty. In this regard, I'd like to highlight four areas where I think the country could make significant advances: 1) tax reform, to increase investment and growth; 2) reducing budget rigidities to help improving public finance management; 3) social security reform, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the regime and create greater incentives for private savings; and 4) improving the business environment, to support Brazil's plans to boost the potential growth of the economy.
"Given the still challenging external environment, it will be crucial that Brazil continues to play a key role in the international arena, particularly in the G-20. Continued international cooperation is needed to solve global imbalances (such as large and volatile capital flows, exchange rate pressures), prevent future crisis, and avoid individual country measures that could hurt the global recovery. It would be particularly important to resist trade protectionism measures.
"I would like to add that the Fund supports President Rousseff's emphasis on working towards continuing to reduce poverty in Brazil. There have been substantial improvements in this area over the last decade, which have also been associated with an impressive expansion of the middle class. To know that Bolsa Família is being copied in many countries, including the United States speaks volumes about the program's positive social impact and macroeconomic solidity.
"Finally, I would like to note that a distinguished Brazilian public servant, Murilo Portugal, steps down tomorrow as Deputy Managing Director of the IMF to return to his home country. On behalf of the IMF and its 187 country members, I would like to thank Mr. Portugal for his service to the international community."

A Delicate Fade
The only sense I ever made out of life was when a man told me the kingdom of God is placed between this world and the one to come. he said it hangs like a curtain between what I can see and feel (everything fragile and fading, like me) and everything whole. as weak as I am and as blind, it's here waiting to show itself. . . . ---Ben deVries What do you do when your experience of life doesn't match up with what you thought it should be? A delicate fade offers an intense, stream-of-consciousness narrative as a twenty-something writer wrestles with this and other questions. including quotes, snippets of poems, and a detailed and sensory exploration of the world around him, Ben DeVries chronicles his struggle to live between what is and what should be. an intensely personal journey of doubt, faith, and hope, a delicate fade is an honest chronicle of one person's exploration of Christianity, postmodernism, and the meaning of life. A lifetime and I saw you, I can see you change I remember everything (except what I am now) I remember how I spent all this time looking A lifetime watching, but I lost myself somewhere I found myself between what is and what was meant to be.

Marijuana farmers caught on Google Earth
Swiss Police spotted a marijuana farm hiding among a crop of corn in the state of Thurgau. They hauled in 1.1 tonnes of marijuana describing the bust as an "interesting chance discovery."
The crop covering two acres would have been worth 900000 Swiss Francs ($1.18million). Prosecutors in Switzerland say they will charge 16 men over the crop.
Police aren't the only ones to be using Google Earth though. "Anyone ever use google earth to map out their prospective grow area? Seems like a great tool to me" wrote one user on the marijuana-oriented online forum Rollitup.org. "It's where I found my grow spot" replied one and "YES.. Its great I have found lakes and streams I didn't even knew existed Till I used it. I definitely recommend looking at it before heading out. Saved me a lot of time" said another.
Other users at another drug-oriented online forum shroomery.org lamented that the police found the crop before they did. "So……i could have found that f@#$ing field and i could have stole the weed or been like hey….you guys know we can see that right??? u might want to cover that s#$t up with like a towel or something….or i could smoke it all real quick for u before the cops come…" posted "Invisible_woe"
Although the Swiss Police did not disclose the exact coordinates of the drug farm they busted on Google Earth you can see what a marijuana farm looks like here. That's the location of a legal marijuana farm in the United States used to supply marijuana for medical 'compassionate' reasons.
GPS navigation is increasingly being coupled with Google Earth to help law enforcement find drug farms. For example tourists in Afghanistan taking photos of poppy fields with GPS-enabled phones and cameras who then upload their photo to websites like Panoramio.com provide exact coordinates for drug enforcement agencies to target. For example here's a poppy field in Afghanistan.

Google is reportedly rolling out a new version of Android Jelly Bean to its Nexus smartphones and tablets.
With no announcement, Google is updating Nexus devices with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The new operating system is rolling out to the Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It's also possible the update is rolling out to the Nexus 4smartphone. See also: Android 4.2 Jelly Bean FAQ: What you need to know.
A screenshot of the update on a Nexus 10, via Android Police, says: "This software update will upgrade your Nexus 10 to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, which improves performance and stability."
Google hasn't given any further details of what the update contains but a Bluetooth A2DP audio streaming fix was promised in the version following Android 4.2.1. The update is relatively small at 47.6MB. See also: Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) review
According to Recombu, the Google Nexus S, made by Samsung, will not be receiving Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean or any further updates.
Going by the comments online very few users have been able to update so far. With no official word from Google on the rollout the only thing you can do is keep checking for available updates or wait for a notification. See also: How to manually upgrade an Android smartphone or tablet

text: Actually, this could just as easily relate to RC paper. But let's say I want to sell some prints, and I think the best choice is to provide mounted photos, unframed, to hang for sale in a coffee shop for example. I'm thinking the easiest way to do this is by using drymount tissue on nice archival board and pressing it with a simple clothing iron. Is this "good enough"? Any suggestions? How would you mount something as easily as possible, but to make it look decently good hanging on a wall, and easy for someone to frame themselves?

I haven't been this excited about a recipe in a long time. I was a on mission to create a healthier cookie that ACTUALLY tasted good and I think I did it. I actually did it. To accomplish it I had to resort to using sugar and butter, two things I haven't used in a recipe for a l-o-n-g time. Of course I severely reduced them but using some was inevitable to make a tasty cookie.
I can't lie I love these cookies. I've made a few batches getting things just right and MAN they are awesome right out of the oven. I'm a warm cookie gal all the way. Give me a gooey chocolate cookie out of the oven and I'm in heaven and these cookies TOTALLY hit the spot.
Anyway, I was so excited about them the toddler and I made a batch for this weeks video. Baking with him is one of my absolute favorite things to do and when he's taste testing whole wheat and oatmeal cookie dough I think it makes it all the better. :)
Here's the video… recipe to follow…
The Recipe
- 1 cup whole wheat white flour (120g)
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa (20g)
- 1 cup old fashioned oats (80g) (ground or unground your choice)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup raw sugar
- 1 tbsp molasses (20g)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 oz fat free cream cheese
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (30g)
- 1/4 cup 56g mini chips
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine flour, cocoa, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Place the sugar, butter and cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until well blended. Add vanilla and egg beat again until blended finishing the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating at low speed just until combined. It will be REALLY thick. Once all the dry ingredients are incorporated stir in walnuts and chocolate chips as best you can.
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper. The dough will be sticky, try to flatten a bit as the dough will not melt as much as traditional chocolate chip cookies. Makes at least 36 cookies (3 dozen).
Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool for about 2 minutes before enjoying the warm cookie! :)
To make more festive or involve the kids more, add sprinkles just before baking!

Despite it's meteoric rise and growing business importance, blogging, to many employers, is still (incorrectly) considered the basement of the writing world. I'm consistently amazed at how little people expect to pay bloggers.
Of course it's ultimately the blogger's choice to determine what the value of their service is. Ninety-nine percent of bloggers do not expect to get rich from their work, but most, will gladly take a few dollars off the table for their work. And while making money blogging is awesome, sometimes it makes sense to do some pro bono work. Here are the advantages of writing for other blogs for free.
BUILD CREDIBILITY. Attaching yourself with an established brand improves your trust quotient and helps position you as an expert. And if you ever want to make REAL money blogging, you will need to be an expert.
NEW AUDIENCE. A longer reach means you are getting your goods in front of people who might not have found you otherwise. That can mean additional subscribers, more page views, and additional clicks on external links.
CONTENT ARRANGEMENTS. Many media companies now rely on syndication agreements to fill their content void. So when you lend an article to Blog B, there's a chance it winds up on Blog A. A good example of this is how Mashable posts wind up on the CNN homepage or how a recent post I wrote for U.S. News & World Report ended up on the front page of Yahoo!.
NETWORKING. Every successful blog post you deliver to another publisher opens the door for communication, This can lead to future opportunities that are paid. It's also a great way to build up a stockpile of endorsements and references.
GUEST BLOGGING. You've already heard a million times how guest blogging can help you build back links and increase your exposure. Guesting is usually a one-off experience, but if it works well for both parties, it can't hurt to ask for a recurring guest spot. Publishers are always looking for (free) great content and if you've delivered a solid article, they will likely be more than happy to let you contribute on a regular basis.
I believe people should be rewarded for their work, and in the case of blogging, that reward is not always monetary. Have you ever written blog content for another website for free? If so, did you gain anything from the experience?

This week Kate started fourth grade.
Her school is big–more than 850 students in grades 4-7–but the staff has absolutely gone overboard in placing the kids in small groups, helping them navigate both the ginormous building and their own class schedules, and making sure the kids know the members of their own classes well. (This last bit has resulted in Kate complaining three days in a row about having to play icebreaker games with an annoying kid named Gareth who calls her "tall Kate." I pointed out that she IS tall and he was merely stating facts, but she and her new friends (new friends!) have decided they can't stand him.)
Kate also learned to navigate the bus, which picks her up at 7:10 a.m. and deposits her in front of the driveway at 3 p.m. Did I cry the first (and, oh, let's just admit it) and second day she got on the bus? Maybe a little.
Meanwhile back at the home office, I couldn't deal with the lack of lighting and air circulation any more, so I got myself a ceiling fan. It's fabulous, with the exception of the five holes they had to cut into the ceiling to get access, but those will be repaired soon enough.
Tomorrow, Sophia starts Kindergarten. She's more than ready, considering she's already reading at a first-grade level, writing, and doing algebra. (Kidding about that last part, but the rest of it is true.) I'm excited for her, too, but there will probably be a few more tears shed after I drop her off for her reduced-hours first week. She'll start taking the bus the following week, and Kate has already pledged to protect, watch over, and boss her to death on the way to and from school.
I've been looking at our landscaping and thinking lately that our yard's best feature is certainly not the weird hillside plantings of crazy-thorny bushes that the former owners put in, but the wooded sections they left intact in the front and the back. So my new idea is to just let the yard go wild–literally. Derek's not exactly on board yet, since we're smack in the middle of the sort of suburbia where people diamond-mow their grass and painstakingly blow the cut grass out of the street and spend hours weeding, trimming, cutting and digging so entropy and nature don't take over.
And then we go to the mountains, reachable by a mere 10-minute drive south, and I say, "Isn't this lovely? Don't you want our yard to look like this?" And Derek mumbles something about ticks and snakes, hoping to scare me off.
This month is my 35th birthday and Derek's and my 12-year anniversary. We are going to take a romantic trip to Memphis for the anniversary (and if you're not already laughing, you should be, because there is nothing romantic about Memphis, as far as I've seen) to attend the installation of our new District President, a good friend of Derek's. I actually kind of dislike Memphis and would rather go eat at Dancing Bear Lodge in Townsend, but we'll save that for lucky thirteen and this year enjoy a dozen years and a dozen uninterrupted hours on the road to Memphis and back.
Load the car and write the note
grab your bag and grab your coat
tell ones that need to know
we are headed
north west.
CORRECTION 8/6/12: Having just returned from the parents' lunch at Sophia's kindergarten, I learned that they will, actually, be learning a bit of algebra this year. So I wasn't too far off on that after all.

Garret Anderson Signed by Los Angeles DodgersMarch 4, 2010
It's been a pretty rough offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Thanks to a messy divorce between Jamie and Frank McCourt, the Dodgers haven't been able to add many offensive parts this offseason.
Instead of adding parts to their offense, the Dodgers were losing parts. They lost Orlando Hudson, Ronnie Belliard, and Jim Thome to free agency, and they traded Juan Pierre to the Chicago White Sox.
While the Dodgers have a pretty good starting nine, losing these players has cost Los Angeles valuable depth. Joe Torre's bench—and overall team, for that matter—is pretty paper-thin. One big injury to this team and they will be in serious trouble.
When you are that thin, you look for depth anywhere you can find it. Earlier in the offseason, the Dodgers signed the ancient Brian Giles to a minor league contract. Now Giles has found his ancient tag-team partner.
According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers have signed 37-year-old Garret Anderson to a minor league contract. Anderson can make $550,000 if he makes the team out of spring training.
Anderson and Giles in spring training for the Dodgers? I will take outfielders who were good 10 years ago for $1,000, Alex.
Anderson hit .268 with 13 home runs in 135 games with the Atlanta Braves last year. His .268 average and .705 OPS were the lowest of his career.
If Anderson does make the Dodgers' Opening Day roster, it will be strictly as a left-handed pinch hitter off the bench.
Anderson is a career .295 hitter with 2,501 hits, 285 home runs, 516 doubles, and a .790 OPS in 16 seasons with the California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Braves.

Great thread, and the findings are worthy of consideration.
One of the more sobering realizations I take away is that in the area in which I live - in which crime is often conducted by (at least) two umbrella gangs, Nortenos and Surenos, quite frequently when crimes are reported in the press there are more than 2 armed adversaries.
Often 3, occasionally 4, is more the norm. Very seldom (unless its a case of domestic violence) do you hear about only one armed adversary. They tend to run in groups of however many can fit into one car.
Its sort of grim to realize that your surviving an armed encounter depends, at least in part, on the probability that one or more of the group will run away when the shooting starts.....
Treat everyone you meet with dignity and respect....but have a plan to kill them just in case.

This video is supposed to focus on the frescos of Michaelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. I, however, found the most beautiful section to be the tiled floor. I can see at least ten different quilt blocks. Amazing.
Subject: Fwd: Fw: sistine chapel
Go on a journey to see the works of one of the world's greatest artist ever and my hero, Michelangelo(1475-1564) spent 16 years painting this 6000 square feet of breath taking scenes from Genesis. The Last Judgement on the alter wall. All this is done in fresco, which is a feat in itself as you are painting on fresh lime plaster.Move the cursor to the edge and click, you can view every detail of the whole church and zoom in to see the paintings up close. Enjoy

The Transition from Prison to Community (TPC) Initiative is the state-wide initiative to transition inmates back to the community from incarceration at the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCR) in a safe, effective manner. In 2004, the National Institution of Corrections selected North Dakota as one of eight states to receive a technical assistance grant for participation in the initiative.
TPC has an oversight committee, the Transition Leadership Team. Membership consists of state, local, and private department leaders of stakeholder agencies who have an interest in public safety. This team reviews TPC actions on a state-wide level. They have chartered the Transition Steering Committee to work on issues that impede successful inmate transition.
TPC consists of three tenants:
North Dakota utilizes a "Recidivism Reduction" philosophy in managing the offender population. This means our practices are based on evidence that is consistent with recidivism reduction. Reducing recidivism (offenders returning to incarceration within 3 years of release due to a new crime), leads to reducing the commission of new crimes…LESS CRIME = FEWER VICTMS = SAFER COMMUNITIES.
Since the goal is recidivism reduction, we must first assess the criminogenic risk and needs of offenders, and then apply evidence-based programming to reduce that risk. "Criminogenic risks" are characteristics producing or tending to produce crime or criminal activity. The criminogenic risk assessment the NDDOCR utilizes is the Level of Services Inventory-Revised (LSI-R). The LSI-R consists of ten criminogenic risk domains that are both static (do not change) and dynamic (may change over time):
Utilizing the information from the LSI-R, case plans are developed for every inmate, and higher-risk offenders on parole and probation to target the greatest criminogenic risk areas in an effort to reduce that risk. The DOCR offers programs in its facilities and referrals to stakeholder agencies in the community (such as drug and alcohol treatment, education and vocational training, anger management, family counseling, sex offender treatment, etc…) that target criminogenic risk. If the offender successfully completes the programming, the criminogenic risk is reduced, therefore reducing the person's likelihood of returning to prison.
The Transition from Prison to Community Initiative is committed to identifying barriers to successful inmate transition and enhancing evidence-based services for all offenders supervised by or sentenced to the custody of the DOCR. The overarching goal is to improve public safety and reduce crime while efficiently utilizing taxpayer resources to make safer communities in North Dakota!
