I'm obsessed with jelly dongs and have quite a substantial collection in my wardrobe with this being my newest recruit. I don't usually go for bright toys but this pink dong looked like so much fun I thought 'why not?' Compared to some of my most expensive dongs this really cuts the mustard even though it's half the price. The weight of is is decent without being wrist-breaking and the suction cup base means I can bounce around with it attached to my bathroom floor. The head is good and fat and the width a half-way house between slim and beefy. I use this as a warm-up toy now before my bigger pals get involved. You won't be disappointed with this if it's a warm-up act or your first dong.

Wonderful, absolutely WONDERFUL! The orgasms I've had with this thing...some of them are so strong I can hardly move afterwards! Thick enough to give intense pleasure but thin enough that it doesn't hurt - and just the right length, too.
I live a long way from my boyfriend, and only get to see him every other month, so I need something to keep me satisfied when we're apart - this more than does the job. I swear he gets jealous of it! Only downside, I would say, would be the scent. Even after repeated use it still has that plastic smell hanging about. But other than that, it's fabulous value for money. Would definitely recommend to those on a budget or those who are beginners to sex toys. In conclusion - the only thing that's better is the real thing.

The pink colour is gorgeous...nice and vibrant. The texture is very soft and squishy but with enough firmness to feel incredible.The suction cup is strong so great for hands-free fun. It is a great size girth and has 5.5 inches of insertable length so really fulfilling on insertion.
A great dildo that is gorgeous in appearance and a real pleasure to use! I'll definitely be getting to know this pretty guy a lot better!

This is my first dong and my first ever sex toy where I've been able to play hands free. It's a much more natural experience and something I feel I've been missing with my vibrators. I was expecting it to be quite heavy because it had a suction cup base but it's mainly for positioning – this dong is relatively light. My favourite parts are the big head, the curved shaft and those massive testicles! I've never seen the point of them on a man during sex but with this dong I can rub my clitoris along them or bounce against them for extra kicks. I use it with ID Glide Lubricant and scrub it down with warm water and soap after use.

Your toddler will get excited about the holidays while building brain power with his cute DIY Christmas Memory Game.
**This post includes Affiliate Links, which means I will receive a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. Please see my Privacy Policy for more information**
My daughter hasn't stopped talking about Christmas since she saw Christmas lights at Walmart in October. And every day she reminds me that Santa Clause will be here soon. And all I can think is, 'no joke. Santa's feeling the pressure.'
Do any other parents feel like Christmas sneaks up on them? One day your like, 'it's September, the sun in shining, and we have a ton of time to plan for the holidays,' and the next it's like, 'it's December 20th and I haven't even asked my kids what they want for Christmas.' Is it just me, or does that happen to everyone else, too?
This year we got ahead of the game and have been keeping a list on Amazon for a few months. Just the other night we finally added all the items to our cart and placed the order.I've never done the bulk of my Christmas shopping online, but I think I'll keep doing it this way. There's no waiting in lines, running from store to store looking for one specific thing, or having to find a babysitter to watch the littles while we shop. And with Amazon Prime, I got free shipping and two-day delivery on almost all of my items. I feel like I've been missing out for years.
Now we just have to get all the decorations up, go cut down a tree, and start making my list of all the holiday goodies I want to bake. Fudge, cookies, no-bake mints, and gingerbread houses are all on my mental list so far.
I've also been trying to create some festive holiday activities for Sydnee to do. This DIY Christmas Memory Game was a hit with her. At first, she didn't quite understand that you have to try and remember where each card is, but she got the hang of it pretty quick.
This is super easy to make and I'll provide you with the Free Printable.
DIY Christmas Memory Game
Materials Needed:
- Printer paper
- 8″x11″ piece of cardboard or cardstock paper
- Glue (rubber cement, Modge Podge, glue stick)
- Scissors
Print out the printable on regular 8'x11″ paper or cardstock. Make sure to select 'Actual Size' when printing.
Next, you're going to glue the paper with the squares on them onto a piece of cardboard or cardstock. I suggest putting the glue on the cardboard and then laying the paper on top. It keeps the paper from getting too wrinkled.
Cover the piece of cardboard with glue. Make sure to get all the way to edges and corners to avoid areas of the paper not sticking and peeling away from the cardboard.
Next, lay the piece of paper on top of the cardboard and use your hand to smooth out at wrinkles in the paper and to make sure all of the paper is glued down. Allow to set for 10-15 minutes.
Lastly, Use your scissors to cut out each square. If you want you can draw question marks on the back side of each square of cardboard.
To Play:
Shuffle the squares and lay them, image side down, on a flat surface like a table or floor. Each person takes turns flipping over one square and then a second square, trying to match the images. If you make a match, remove the two squares and set them aside. If you don't make a match, flip the cards both back over so that they are face down, and allow the next person to take their turn. Continue until all squares are removed from the playing area and have been matched. Whoever has the most matching pairs wins.
I hope you enjoyed this post and DIY Christmas Memory Game. If you want to continue seeing holiday inspired crafts, recipes, and more, like my Facebook Page, follow me on Pinterest, or find me on Instagram. You can also subscribe to my mailing list!

> Career Resources
> Interviews > Career Path
An individual alone cannot guarantee business success, but a person with the ability to inspire teamwork can move mountains.
One such leader is Leslie Chu, general manager, Taiwan, Hong Kong & Macao, Microsoft Online Services Group. It took Mr Chu only four years to increase Microsoft (MSN) Hong Kong's revenues five-fold and to transform MSN Messenger into a sought-after lifestyle brand.
"What I do is to simply maximise the potential of every member of staff and to make sure everyone is on the same page while developing a sense of job satisfaction. This, in turn, ensures my own," says Mr Chu.
Sophisticated messenger
A top man in the field, Mr Chu's working week consists of three days in Taiwan and two in Hong Kong, channelling company business strategies and objectives to staff in the two regions while also communicating with the US headquarters on a regular basis.
Over the past four years, his team's key focus has been to market MSN messenger as a consumer-centric product, rather than just an IT service. "IT products today are not about technology. For instance, a consumer may buy a computer because it is fashionable, whereas IT professionals tend to prioritise functionality. Whenever we develop or upgrade a service, we keep the users in mind."
This approach has been highly successful, as proven by the rapid growth in MSN user numbers. "In only six months, Hong Kong MSN users doubled to 800,000, reaching 1.2 million a year later," he says.
After starting in Hong Kong, Mr Chu's role was expanded to include Macau in 2007. In mid-2008 he also took Taiwan on board. While his marketing strategies remained unaltered, he endeavoured to accommodate the needs of more than 10 million users at this point.
"Earlier this year, we launched a special crossover MSN novelty T-shirt in Taiwan, designed by the popular local band Mayday. All 1,000 T-shirts, at NT$1,000 a piece, were sold out in two days," Mr Chu remarks.
That particular marketing campaign was successful in bringing in revenue, he says, adding that such offline marketing activities help to immerse MSN in users' daily lives and reach non-users simultaneously.
True passion
An impressive academic background plus previous work experience provided Mr Chu with a solid foundation, but it is his outstanding leadership style and strong business and marketing sense that landed him his current job.
After graduating in marketing from Wollongong University in Australia, he started his career marketing credit cards at the International Bank of Asia (currently Fubon Bank).
He notes that he has always been passionate about IT. "Years ago, when email was not so much in the public domain, I built my own website," he recalls. "This caught the attention of the bank's senior vice president, who then assigned me to take charge of the online marketing campaign for a credit card specifically targeted at women."
After working for the bank for nearly five years, Mr Chu embarked on his IT journey around the time of the 1998 dot.com boom.
Over the following four years, he worked for a number of big-name companies, including myrice.com, Lycos Asia and Yahoo!, where his job skills expanded from web design to marketing and business development.
"Although I only stayed with Lycos Asia for a short time, I worked on various acquisitions and integrations in Greater China. It was an enriching experience," he says.
Shortly after that, Mr Chu joined China Light Power's new e-commerce division, where he stayed for a year until he was "spotted" by MSN Hong Kong in 2004.
"My previous experiences have exposed me to extensive training and people networks," he remarks.
Change and challenge
The online business model has been evolving constantly since the turn of the millennium. "MSN Hong Kong initially drew its revenues from subscription fees, but this changed over the past few years and almost 80 per cent of our revenue is now drawn from advertising," Mr Chu explains.
Understanding the business model and getting the positioning strategies right are fundamental for growth, he adds.
MSN Hong Kong recently formed a partnership with TVB.com to launch MyTV for MSN users, who can watch five television channels provided by TVB.com on WLM (Windows Live Messenger) 9.0. "There are no permanent leaders in the IT world," Mr Chu points out. "To stay ahead of the competition, we must innovate and provide value-added services."
With advertising revenues inevitably shrinking, the current economic downturn has brought new challenges. "In good times, most advertisers opt for television as their preferred advertising media. But with smaller budgets, some will now turn their attention to online platforms. MSN will benefit from this in the long run," he concludes.

Flower Delivery to Clun – A Town in Shropshire Overlooked by Castle Ruins
Sitting on two Ice Age mounds is the ruined Clun Castle which overlooks the town of Clun. Described by poet A.E. Housman as one of the "quietest places under the sun" in his work A Shropshire Lad, Clun is the perfect place for rest and relaxation. As such, the town does make a lovely romantic destination. All you need are some Clun flowers and a nice picnic and you've got yourself a simple yet romantic date. The area near the Borderland Castle makes a lovely and scenic picnic spot and is a great place for children to have fun in.
A 15th-century Packhorse Bridge divides Clun into two: the ancient part located on the south and the newer one found on the north. The town has some historical highlights as well including the Town Hall, Clun Bridge and the Clun Castle. Lovers of walks can also use Clun as a starting point for exploring the Shropshire Way, the Jack Mytton Way or any of the local circular walks.
The name Clun is derived from the river which the town stands in. The town grew around the site of a Saxon church built towards the end of the 7th-century AD. In the area surrounding the town was a scattered population during the Neolithic period.
Clun was part of the historic drove road which was used to drive flocks and herds from Wales to the markets of Midlands and London. During the Norman Conquest, Clun was part of the lands of Eadric The Wild. When he revolted against King William I, his lands were confiscated and given to Roger de Montgomery, later Earl of Shrewsbury.
There are some really interesting attractions in Clun, and these include:
Clun Castle – a Norman castle that is now in ruins. It is a Grade I listed building owned by the Duke of Norfolk and managed by English Heritage. There is an area around this castle that is perfect for picnics. Just get some flowers in Clun to give to your partner and you've got yourself a really nice and simple picnic. Or, you can be more dramatic and choose to send flowers to Clun to your accommodation.
Clun Bridge – a 15th-century packhorse bridge that is still used to this day by all vehicles.
Trinity Hospital – these are almshouses built in 1614 located on Hospital Lane.
Town Hall – found on the corner of The Square and High Street. This town hall is now a museum.
St George's Church – located south of Clun Bridge.
Walking. You can start exploring the Shropshire Way and the Jack Mytton Way in Clun. Apart from these two walks, there are also local circular walks you can try in Clun itself.
Whether you want to cheer someone up or greet them during a special occasion, what better way to do it than with a bouquet of flowers?

What is Cost of Attendance?
For more than 40 years, the maximum allowable NCAA Division I athletics scholarship covered tuition, fees, room, board, and books but not the incidental personal costs of attending college. Beginning August 1, 2015, that will change.
In January 2014, the NCAA passed legislation allowing institutions to pay a student-athletes full cost of attendance (COA), essentially covering the scholarship "gap." These scholarship enhancements (of $3,280 for in-state and $3,620 for out-of-state at Virginia Tech) will increase the total scholarship bill by approximately $950,000, to approximately $14.4 million annually.
A student's cost of attendance is an estimate of the expenses designed to represent his/her projected annual cost to attend a specific college or university. Each school's financial aid office determines COA, using broad federal guidelines originating from the Higher Education Act of 1965. The cost of attendance number serves as a maximum, and comprises only those expenses that are directly related to college attendance. Typical items include tuition, fees, room, board, books, and now, miscellaneous personal expenses, transportation home, etc.

I don't want to go deep into techniques, theory or anything like that.
Don't you observe, that, when you speak to another people, for example: in a party, it's just pure bla bla bla?
I mean, words have not any real meaning at all for most people, what's important is your confidence.
Im introvert and I realized how ridicule is. There's a belief on one having or not having ''social skills'. But there's no such kind of thing.
It's just about saying whatever comes into your mind, Kinda dumb isn't it?
With confidence, standing on your feet, with a clear voice and looking straight into the eyes.
What makes interesting a conversation is just your presence. Well, I think I'm saying this to myself, because I was very shy.
But ok, what you think? Besides that to me seems like personal relationships are merely superficial.
And it's okay to have some fun. I can party and joke around but at some degree, most of parties are like 10 hours of loud music and noises.
How the f&&%ck you can stay awake? (drugs maybe?) my ears will start of bleeding after 2 hours, or maybe 3. That's when my antisocial mode is activated.

I've started a few blogs in the past. I know all about rabbit hole SEO.
You know, the latest hack you learn that you have to try on your author platform. Or the cool plugin that promises to rocket you up the Google search rankings.
I know how one good looking idea can turn into hours (or even days) of tinkering and iterating that never stops.
Somedays are like yesterday though. Yesterday was my journey down the rabbit hole of SEO.Comments closed

Kindergarten through 8th grade is a pivotal time for all children attending school, public or private. Their classmates, the teachers, and programs that the school has to offer can make all the difference in the world. You want to make sure that the money you're spending on school isn't going to waste and that your child is ultimately happy with the place that they will be spending a majority of their time for the next few years. The quality of education, unique programs and events, and well regarded K-8 schools are what we look for when recommending neighborhoods near schools. If you're new to the city or just looking for potential schools that will bring the best out of your kids, then check out our top five K-8 Peoria AZ schools.
5 Peoria AZ Schools that Aim to Impress
1. Vistancia Elementary School
When it comes to schools in the PUSD, Vistancia Elementary School is highly regarded. Vistancia has many amenities to offer such as band and drama opportunities, as well as ASL teachings, which is very uncommon for elementary schools to include. They also have a greenhouse that allows children to learn more about nature and nurturing plant life. Though they are not as well known for their sports, the teachers prioritize the wellbeing of their students and building character. This school welcomes students with disabilities and many of their classes contain special needs students that help other children learn to be helpful and accepting during these impressionable years of their life.
2. Paseo Verde Elementary School
One of the best known K-8 Peoria AZ schools that shows outstanding growth in students' grades and testing scores. Paseo Verde Elementary School is not only obliging towards kids with disabilities, but they rate highly in sports like basketball, cross country, softball, and football. Your child can get a head start for high school by becoming involved in NJHS and student council. Many parents are proud to say that Paseo Verde's curriculum is superior to other schools and they feel that students can excel in this environment.
3. Sonoran Science Academy
Sonoran Science Academy is a stricter school that's focused on college preparatory STEM classes. The students wear uniforms and many participate in statewide and national math competitions. Sonoran Science Academy emphasizes skill-level education with hands-on work that improves computer literacy and scientific understanding. This includes offering other intense programs in learning design, drawing, painting, and Spanish. Their academy is home to an art room, auditorium, computer lab, greenhouse, library, playground, and sports fields.
Sonoran Science Academy has special education services that focus on educating students with disabilities to achieve academic skills while also facilitating social and emotional development. Any student can thrive by participating in clubs like the art club, reading club, cooking club, drama club, game club, math club, NHS, robotics club, student council, student newspaper, yearbook, and yoga club. If you're looking to challenge your child and accelerate their learning capability then this school is right for you.
4. Copperwood Elementary School
While technically located in neighboring Glendale AZ, this is a school nearby Peoria AZ residents might want to consider. Copperwood Elementary School emphasizes areas of focus on all arts, business, engineering, humanities, mathematics, multiculturalism, music, performing arts, science, service learning, special education, technology, visual arts, and writing. These subjects are extended in after school clubs that include art, reading, chess, dance, drama, FBLA, game, homework help, NHS, recycling, science, student council, radio news, and yearbook.
There is not much that Copperwood Elementary School doesn't offer when it comes to academics and culture. Their art programs are extensive with classes on band, choir, music theory, jazz band, orchestra, theory, vocal lessons, creative writing, dance, drama, poetry, computer animation, graphics, technical design, and film production. They also offer classes pertaining architecture, ceramics, drawing, design, painting, and sculpting. Whether your child is interested in the arts or academic subjects, this school has proven itself excellent with high school preparation material.
5. Peoria Traditional School
Peoria Traditional School has numerous convenient facilities for students to utilize for building their social and technical skills. There is an art room, computer lab, gym, kitchen, library, music room, performance stage, playground, science lab, and sports fields.

Law enforcement officers have finished their search of a pond in Springfield, where hunters found a body this morning.
About 20 officers -- deputies from the Effingham County Sheriff's Office and members of the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police dive team -- spent the day searching the pond, said sheriff's spokesman David Ehsanipoor.
The pond is behind the residence of James Tebeau, 56, who was last seen on Feb. 18, 2011, at his home at 711 Old Tusculum Road. He was reported to be suffering from dementia.
The body was transported to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab for autopsy.
Ehsanipoor said dental records will be used to identify the body.
The pond covers a large area behind the Tebeau home. The area where the body was found is accessed from Wilder Road off Ga. 119.
Last February, more than 50 volunteers and law enforcement officials searched the nearly 320-acre wooded property on foot and with all-terrain vehicles without finding Tebeau.
Ehsanipoor said sonar was used to search the pond at that time, but nothing was discovered.
"It's a very, very large pond," he said.

With Tyk Hybrid
Hybrid Tagging Introduction
With Tyk Hybrid it is easy to enable a sharded configuration, you will need to modify the
tyk.conf file of you gateway (this may require deeper customisation, we can help you with that), and then enable the tags in your cloud dashboard.
You can then launch your tagged gateways throughout your infrastructure, Tyk Hybrid will take care of synchronising API tokens, API Configurations and policies across your environments.
Notes on Hybrid distributions:
- Tokens are cached from our infrastructure down into the Redis instance that your hybrid gateway has access to, this means that if you have tokens that share environments, their quotas and rate limits will be applied on a per-environment basis, between environments, not across environments.
- Updating a token in the dashboard will cause the cached version to be removed from your hybrid and then re-synched, this means their quotas will be reset.
- To ensure that Tyk Hybrid gateways synchronise in isolated environments, ensure that the
group_idis set to a data center ID under your
slave_options, otherwise only one hybrid gateway will pick up keyspace changes.
Configure a Gateway as a shard
Setting up a gateway to be a shard, or a zone, is very easy. All you do is tell the node in the tyk.conf file what tags to respect and that it is segmented:
"db_app_conf_options": {
"node_is_segmented": true,
"tags": ["qa", "uat"]
Tags are always treated as OR conditions, so this node will pick up all APIs that are marked as
qa or
Tag an API for a shard using the Dashboard
To add an API Tag to a an API configuration in the dashboard, first ensure you are in the API Editor, and have selected the Advanced Options tab:
Once you have reached this section, scroll down to the Segment Tags section:
In this section, set the tag name you want to apply, and click the Add button.
When you save the API, the tags will become immediately active, and if any gateways are configured to only load tagged API Definitions then this configuration will only be loaded by the relevant gateway.

Is it just me, or did this summer fly by? My program officially ends this Friday and I'm frantically writing papers, reports, and making scientific figures. I'll also working on a big data transfer to my advisor so the work I've done this summer can live on. It has been a happy, fun, and fulfilling summer both in terms of work and adventures. I have had the chance to connect and reconnect with amazing people, do a lot of hiking, and live in the WEST again! Thank goodness.
I admit I feel a little Wile E. Coyote right now, but I know I'll make it through. I plan to keep updating, supplying you with pictures of:
2) The Bad Ass Coffee Company
3) The LANCE and DAHRT tours at Los Alamos
4) Jemez Springs, the Soda Damn, and the Jemez Pueblo
5) Baby Animals
6) The Santa Fe Opera
And anything else I manage to photograph before I leave. In the meanwhile, I'm taking a week off from the blog. Thanks for reading!

WASHINGTON - Greece assured the United States on Thursday it was increasing its security forces and making preparations to deal with any terrorist threat to the Olympics in Athens this summer.
A delegation led by Public Order Minister Giorgos Floridis briefed Condoleezza Rice, the president's national security adviser, at the White House on precautions for the games Aug. 13-29. The group also had appointments with FBI Director Robert Mueller and CIA Director George Tenet.
Floridis said Greece was spending three times more money on security and devoting three times more personnel than Australia did for the 2000 Games in Sydney.

Every day in November we will reveal the greatest stories ever told starring a particular character or written/drawn by a particular creator (and throughout the month, you'll get daily chances to vote for NEXT week's lists). These lists are voted on by YOU, the reader!
Here is the list of characters/creators featured so far (along with the rules on how to vote).
Today's list is the Greatest Steve Gerber Stories Ever Told!
Sorry for the major delay! I was quite surprised by just how much of a consensus there was on Gerber's top stories. I thought that I'd see a lot of different stories, but instead I saw pretty much the same group of stories appear on most of the lists. One story (#2 on the countdown) particularly surprised me. Not that it is not a great story, but just that it was so widely accepted as one of Gerber's top tales. Anyhow, on to the list (and again, do note that we're talking about a guy with a lot of great stories – so a lot of great stories will not be on this list!).
10. Hard Time Season 2
After DC's Focus line of comics ended, this excellent comic book series by Steve Gerber, Mary Skrenes, penciler Brian Hurtt and (for this volume) inker Steve Bird continued the adventures of Ethan Harrow, a teenager tried (and wrongly convicted) as an adult for his role in a school shooting. Ethan's lawyer tries to get Ethan out of prison while Ethan deals with both the fact of serving at least 50 years in prison as well as his psychic abilities (which manifested themselves at the shooting). This was a nice attempt by DC to keep a great title going, but the second attempt did no better than the first one, sales-wise, and the series ended with issue #7, which was an extremely clever riff on DC's "One Year Later" gimmick, doing it as "49 Years Later."
9. Marvel Treasury Edition #12 "The Duck and the Defenders"
Gerber and artists Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson wrote this meeting between Gerber's two most famous works at Marvel, Howard the Duck and the Defenders!
8. Marvel Presents #3-7
After bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy back in the pages of the Defenders, Gerber wrote their first ongoing solo series in the pages of Marvel Presents with art by Al Milgrom and Bob Wiacek.
7. Omega the Unknown #1-10
Gerber and Skrenes' unfinished masterpiece, Omega the Unknown was one of the most offbeat tales of a very offbeat decade for comics. A young boy discovers that he was being raised by robots. After their destruction, he then discovers some sort of connection with a powerful (and oddly silent) alien – but the boy has mysterious powers similar to the alien! The alien tends to show up when the boy is in trouble. It is a strange book. The art is by Jim Mooney, mostly.
6. Hard Time #1-12
As noted above, this tells the story of a teen who is wrongly convicted for his role in a school shooting. During the shooting, he demonstrated a psychic ability to create a powerful psychic being. The series tells the story of the teen, Ethan, dealing with life in prison and his new powers (which he does not know about at first). It is a gripping, character-driven narrative with awesome Brian Hurtt artwork.
5. Defenders #31-40, Annual #1 "The Headmen Saga"
This is a sprawling mixture of stories with Gerber achieving so many different styles of stories – humor, horror, satire, commentary, action, science fiction, soap opera and so much more! The initial villains are the mutated villains, the Headmen (who succeed in transferring Nighthawk's brain with one of their own) and then Nebulon the Celestial Man becomes the main heavy. Sal Buscema and Jim Mooney do the art.
4. Foolkiller #1-10
A new Foolkiller debuts after forming a connection with the institutionalized Greg Salinger (the last man to be known as the Foolkiller). The new Foolkiller, Kurt Gerhardt, causes chaos in New York and also becomes a bit of a cult hero due to his punishing the "foolish" and the "stupid." The art is by Joe Brozowski and Tony DeZuniga.
3. The Phantom Zone #1-4
In this acclaimed mini-series, Superman gets trapped in the Phantom Zone while the villains from the Zone are let loose on Earth. The art is by Gene Colan and Tony DeZuniga.
2. Man-Thing #5-6 "Night of the Laughing Dead"/"And When I Died…"
Gerber, Mike Ploog and Frank Chiaramonte combine for a stunningly clever two-parter about a clown who kills himself in the swamp and then the people who know him (as well as the human stars of the series) are forced by ghosts to re-live the clown's life to see if the clown deserves to go to Heaven, Hell or Limbo. It's a beautifully disturbing (and disturbingly beautiful) tale.
1. Howard the Duck #16 "Zen and the Art of Comic Book Writing"
One of the most famous issue of the 1970s, this issue is a series of text pieces by Steve Gerber and drawings by a variety of Marvel's top artists of the period. It offers an insight into Gerber's mind that really needs to be seen to be believed. I did a piece on the issue recently here.
That's the list! Agree? Disagree? Let me know!

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's trip to Africa this month may result in a stark juxtaposition between the growing power of the gay rights movement in the United States and the criminalization of homosexuality throughout the African continent.
Obama is scheduled to be in Africa in late June and early July -- when the Supreme Court is likely to issue rulings on a pair of gay marriage cases.
Homosexuality is considered a criminal offense in many African nations, including Senegal and Tanzania, which Obama will visit. South Africa, the third country on the president's itinerary, protects homosexuals and is the only African country to legalize gay marriage.
Gay rights activist Richard Socarides said Obama could use the rulings as a "teachable moment" if the justices move to expand rights for same-sex couples.
"It may provide a perfect opportunity for him to speak out about the principles we value in our democracy and how we would hope that others follow it," said Socarides, who worked for the Clinton administration.
The White House wouldn't say what role gay rights would play in Obama's trip but noted that the administration "unequivocally advocates against violence and discrimination" against gays and lesbians around the world.
The cases before the Supreme Court challenge California's definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, and a portion of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that denies married same-sex couples a range of benefits available to married heterosexuals. Obama supports overturning both measures.
He has frequently called on countries to end discrimination against gays and lesbians. In 2011, he directed the State Department to "ensure that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights" of gays, lesbians and transgender people.
According to the State Department's 2012 report on Tanzania, consensual gay sex is illegal and carries a prison sentence of 30 years to life. The report concluded that homosexuals face "societal discrimination that restricted their access to health care, housing and employment" and that there were no government efforts to combat such discrimination. Conditions are similar in Senegal, the State Department said.

Between November 2016 and January 2017, Canadian sales of luxury SUVs/crossovers grew 16% to more than 30,000 units. As the passenger car market quickly dries up and premium auto brands are left with rapidly shrinking demand for traditional money makers, demand for premium utility vehicles is skyrocketing.
And while new vehicle sales slow as the new year begins, the winter period – especially over Christmas – is still a bright one for luxury SUVs. These are the 25 top-selling models from premium brands over the last three months.

Its 2017: what case can be made for the Government to be in the broadcasting business, competing unfairly with the private sector? The CBC receives advertising and cable/satellite fees-fees greater than CTV and Global but this is not enough for the greedy CBC who also receive more than a billion dollars of your tax money. And now the new Trudeau Government has promised at least an additional $150 million dollars a year to this biased, wasteful government broadcaster. As is, Taxpayers continue to be hosed to the tune of about $100,000,000 (yes, 100 MILLION) of our taxes every 30 days with no CBC accountability to taxpayers as they continue with their biased news service serving only the extreme socialists and anti-Semitics. Wake up Canada!
cbcExposed continues to hear from confidential sources inside the CBC about the "scandal du jour" and we will continue to expose their reports of waste, abuse and bias while we protect our sources. We take joy in knowing CBC-HQ visits us daily to research our stories such as the CBC Sunshine List, ongoing scandals including the epic Dr. Leenen case against The Fifth Estate (the largest libel case ever awarded against the media in Canadian history) where no one at CBC was fired and taxpayers paid the award and legal costs for this CBC Libel action. Writers and filmmakers take note-this is a Perfect story for a Documentary!
cbcExposed continues to enjoy substantial visitors coming from Universities and Colleges across Canada who use us for research in debates, exams, etc. We ask students to please join us in this mission; you have the power to make a difference! And so can private broadcasters who we know are hurting from the dwindling Advertising revenue pool and the CBC taking money from that pool while also unfairly getting Tax subsidies money. It's time to stop being silent and start speaking up.
Our cbcExposed Twitter followers and frequent visitors to cbcExposed continue to motivate us to expose CBC's abuse and waste of tax money as well as exposing their ongoing left wing bully-like news bias. Polls meanwhile show that Canadians favour selling the wasteful government owned media giant and to put our tax money to better use for all Canadians. The Liberals privatized Petro Canada and Air Canada; it's time for the Trudeau Liberals to privatize the CBC, not give them more tax money.
What does it take for real change at the CBC? You! Our blog now contains a link to the Politicians contact info for you to make your voice heard. Act now and contact your MP, the Cabinet and Prime Minister ... tell them to stop wasting your money, and ... sell the CBC.

Huge libel award against CBC makes legal history
In a blistering judgement released Apr. 20, Mr. Justice J.D. Cunningham of the Ontario Superior Court found the fifth estate guilty of acting with malice against the Ottawa hypertension specialist. He ordered the CBC to pay Leenen $950 000 in general, aggravated and punitive damages, plus his legal costs. Richard Dearden, one of the Ottawa lawyers who has represented Leenen since his suit was launched in 1996, says those costs will total more than $1 million.
Leenen now has the dubious distinction of being part of Canadian legal history. "This is the largest [defamation] award against the media in the history of the country," says a jubilant Dearden.
In the end, the hour-long broadcast may cost the CBC up to $5 million because of the Leenen ruling and an earlier judgement in favour of Toronto cardiologist Martin Myers, who was awarded $200 000 for defamation last November.1 The CBC must also pay his costs.

July 19, 2007 (New York, NY) – ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK and action sports / film star Bam Margera have joined forces to launch the ROCKSTAR Viva La Bands 2007 Tour featuring high energy live rock music and a traveling video show.
The ROCKSTAR Viva La Bands Tour hits 30 cities in the US and Canada September 24th through November 3rd 2007. Featured acts include Grammy Award nominated British metal act Cradle of Filth, hard rockers CKY (featuring Bam's brother, Jesse Margera) and hot Swedish band Vains of Jenna, who Bam recently signed to his Filthy Note records. Another very special guest act will be announced later this summer. Bam and some of his well-known friends will also be hosting a number of the live shows.
The tour comes on the heels of the release of "Viva La Bands: Volume 2, a compilation CD/DVD that will appear in stores nationwide on September 4, 2007 through a joint venture between Filthy Note and Ferret Music. The double disc CD/DVD includes twenty bands from around the globe, rare Bam DVD footage, and seven exclusive tracks recorded just for the project (brand new selections from Clutch, Bloodhound Gang, Children Of Bodom, In Flames, CKY, and more).
"The 'Viva La Bands' project lets me bring music I love to my fans that might not even know some of this rock exists, said Margera. "The ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK guys totally get what I wanted Viva La Bands to be all about. They are great supporters of rock music and understand that this is supposed to be more than just another concert experience. It's a new age vaudeville show.In addition to the four musical acts on the tour, Viva La Bands will be projecting over sixty minutes of exclusive video content including deleted scenes from Bam's wildly successful MTV series "Viva La Bam.
"My MTV shows sometimes don't air the really funny or risky scenes so I raided their vault and decided to put the best never-before-seen clips on tour, said Margera. "I'll also preview some behind the scenes footage from my new film currently in production, 'Minghags'

The death of an infant at a Tazewell County hospital prompted an investigation by law enforcement agencies.
Deputies said that a 911 call on Wednesday indicated that the 8-month-old boy was not breathing. The infant was taken to Clinch Valley Medical Center, where it was determined that the child had already died. The medical center staff had concerns about what had happened and an investigation was opened because of those concerns and from what was said in the 911 call.
"The people that brought the child in they kept the child over night they mother had left the child and they had a story as what happened and what evidence we were looking at just didn't match the story we were being told," Sheriff Brian Hieatt said.
Search warrants were issued for law enforcement officers to go through two homes that are located in the Richlands and Road Ridge areas. The warrants also included a search of a vehicle. Officers arrested Monica Walker, 27, and William "Willie Hilbert, 45, were both charged with Causing Serious Injury to a Child Under the Age of 18. Star Adams, 20, was charges with Abandonment of a Child. Both charges fall under the same section of the Virginia Code section 18.2-371.1.
The three are being held without bond at the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail Authority in Tazewell County. Additional charges could be still be filed in the case. The case is under investigation by the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office, the Commonwealth Attorney, the Department of Social Services and the Virginia State Police. The Richlands Police Department also assisted investigators.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) September 28, 2008 -- Karen Howel owner of Mad Lillies, a hair salon in London and specialists in Brazilian Keratin Treatment, said âWe canât believe how popular this product has become. We are inundated with bookings and enquiries with some clients travelling from miles away for the procedure. The great thing about Keratin is that it is a natural product and can last for many months. It wonât damage your hair regardless of how many times you have it done. It leaves your hair not only looking great but feeling fantastic too! Hair straightening has always been popular but with traditional products it was on ongoing battle and for some, financially restrictive because of how often the treatment was requiredâ
Karen goes on to say âIt really is a revolution in hair care and being a hairdresser in Hampstead it really has put us on the map. The process itself is very straightforward; using a flat-ironing technique we add the natural protein to the hair where upon it seals the cuticles whilst wrapping itself round each strand of hair. It nourishes damaged hair and feels so smooth to the touch following treatment. Unlike other hair straightening products, you can do exactly what you want with it afterwards; tie it into a bun, put it in a pony tail, clip it up you name it you can do it! The best bit is every morning you wake up with great looking hair; less time spent prepping in the morning which has to be good newsâ
There are more and more hair salons nationwide now offering this treatment. It seems to be a natural solution for many people who prefer straight hair to their curls or frizz. Information can be obtained from your local salon or online.

In this collection of seventeen stories, she creates a "solid and vital fictional world, cross-referenced and dense with life" (Walter Clemons, Newsweek).

Home inspectors have become a part of the process of buying a home. When you have found a house that you want to buy, you need to be sure that it is in good condition, with no problems that could create the need for major structural or other renovation. Home inspectors will examine the house to look for specific types of problems, and will deliver a report on the state of the house.
Certification for Home Inspectors
If you are interested in a career as a home inspector, you need to train to be able to do the job well. Most home inspectors gain certification to be recognised as professionals. Certification is offered by a number of national professional bodies, giving you the opportunity to study for a qualification that will give a good foundation for your career.
Home inspectors form a necessary part of the home buying process, helping to verify the price that is paid for a home, and allowing both the buyer and the seller to be aware of any issues that could interfere with the sale of the house. If you decide that a career in home inspection is for you, then you can create a career that will be secure and satisfying.

We National-Socialists must never under any circumstances join in the usual hurrah-patriotism of the bourgeois world.
-Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. II, Chap. 14, p. 648 (Manheim); auf deutsch S. 735
In a perfect illustration of the conservative mentality and the destructive impact it can have in racial politics, the American Freedom Party has unceremoniously thrown its own presidential candidate, Bob Whitaker, under the bus. Instead of funding, supporting, and promoting their own candidate that their members have invested time and money in, they chose to devote party resources to chasing after Donald Trump like some unwanted frumpy fat girl begging for a date, ceding ground in the process and wasting already limited resources. Instead of using their candidate to play off Trump by pushing a more hard-line stance, thus radicalizing a portion of their target audience and building momentum accordingly, they chose to shit all over him. Hell, they could have even baited Trump into a response or even a debate on live TV, putting the issues they claim to care about into the spotlight. But nope!
As harped on previously, all this will do is repel people from joining the AFP. They tell their voters that they can find a vaguely pro whitish candidate in the mainstream, who is way more likely to win, has less baggage, and who can magically fix it all from within the republican party. This impedes them from radicalizing, becoming explicitly racial, and ditching the system. Just more of the same, really, springing from the same rotten foundation of patriotard conservatism.
This is demonstrated, in the first place, by their past actions; as an example, they fielded Merlin "I hate white people" Miller as a presidential candidate, while he was denouncing his own supporters and the Council of ((Cohen)) Cocksuckers for being too extreme. But it's also demonstrated by the image they willingly project, and their total effective subservience to the conservatism they claim they've moved past.
Christ, they've got the geriatric lawnchair-Teabagger demographic staked out perfectly, goin' all chips down on FULL METAL PATRIOT! Even changed their name (previously known as the American Third Position) to reflect their desire to charge straight into the patriotard gulch with such desperation, it comes across as an absurd parody.
Their whole game is to throw around meaningless patriotard platitudes so maybe one day Jeff Gordon will drive a victory lap for them in the Daytona 500 or whatever, while downplaying anything "disagreeable" instead of creating a distinct, relevant brand with an accompanying assertive leadership to capitalize off the growing political disenfranchisement of several white target audiences with the intention to actively fight for power on all levels.
The AFP seems to think the more they cede distinct ground and try to become the Tea Party, the more they'll win. All they're doing is becoming the Chinese knockoff version of an already shitty, pointless product. Out of out their desire for non-confrontational social propriety and adherence to savin muh cuntstitution out of some misplaced sense of duty, they refuse to radicalize and attack the conservatives as competitors. They choose to blend in instead without hammering home why conservatives aren't a solution, thus enabling the conservative establishment to cynically exploit growing racial sentiments for its own gain, without any intention on implementing any racialist goals, Trump inclusive.
As a result, their target audience will just stay with conservatism, perceiving themselves as getting the exact same deal there with a much greater chance of success and less baggage. Successfully bringing people over from conservatism to an actual third position, opposition party requires relentlessly attacking the contemporary right – to siphon off those capable of getting it as opposed to enabling their current views, and the Jewish system as a whole.
So, not only are they not making inroads to their targeted audience, they're also successfully alienating everyone under age 60 in their approach. Then, by some fluke of nature, William Johnson managed to get a delegate spot, and when the story broke, stated his intention to VOLUNTARILY RESIGN, setting a godawful example to his followers to back down when challenged and demonstrating absolute groveling subservience to something that's not even racialist in futile hopes they'll maybe implement a couple watered down versions of policies he wants in exchange for not fucking up Trump's campaign . If that wasn't bad enough, take a look at the fantasy cabinet AFP's assembled as a recommendation to Trump , showing where their mindset's stuck at: passive begging and glad handing a hostile anti-white system, legitimizing it to their followers.
Further, while occasional lip service is paid to being a Third Position, the AFP can't get over being conservatives, and cannot bring themselves to recruit from the left and incorporate relevant economic aspects into their platform.
Being a grab bag of miscellaneous, conflicting interest groups- some with relevant concerns and perspectives , others entirely pointless and retarded freaks that need to be killed , and some even willing to ditch semitically-correct anti-racist narratives to attack the tenets of judeoliberalism, there's a million different wedges that can be driven into the left to split that power base and bring the elements we want over.
Given that some on the left are realizing how much they've been lied to on a variety of relevant subjects , while seeking socially-safe methods of communicating racial sentiments like hipster racism, this is ripe ground for recruiting, and absolutely necessary for racial survival, something that Tom Metzger understood and applied with his organization.
Of course, the faileocons are unwilling to listen to anyone besides themselves while attempting to shoehorn an entire situation and related generation into their uninspiring and irrelevant vision for resurrecting 1950's America by voting Republican. Scratch your average White Nationalist and you'll just find a typical faileocon/Teabagger with more pronounced racial sentiments and the same pitiful, polite wailing about some past bygone age nobody else fucking cares about without a goddamn clue what else to do. Apparently, they think this is the future standard of racial politics, the aegis and salvation of the White European Race, the Aryan ideal! Absolutely pathetic.

I enjoy a good ghost movie. There's really nothing like squeaking doors, creaking floors and a bunch of old-school puppets to make my heart pound a little faster. So, yes, when director Guillermo del Toro announced that he was planning to revive the classic haunted house genre, I whooped with joy. And now that the first trailer is out, I'm even more excited!
To be honest, come October, buying a ticket for this film really will be a no-brainer for me. The cast is to die for, which is actually quite genre-appropriate, I guess. I'm a fan of Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam, and would watch anything that stared only one of these people. However, now that they've united for this project, Crimson Peak is definitely at the top of my must-see list this year.
But there is more to this trailer than just a quartet of talented actresses and actors in stylish period fashion. First of all, the whole thing is accentuated by a haunting cover version of Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand". Second, the set design looks perfectly lavish, with a sinister estate, harbouring gloomy aisles contrasted against pale snow and colourful costumes.
Set in 19th century England, the story of a young girl falling for a dark, handsome stranger with a peculiar sister oozes with gothic charm and sinister passions. Additionally, it combines vibes from Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940), Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980), Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Fall of the House of Usher", and from a nearby corner Jane Eyre seems to be screaming at you: 'Stay away from the attic!'.
Granted, I cannot hear doors squeak or floors creak in this trailer, I'm nonetheless drawn in by the engaging visuals, the creepy, repressive Victorian atmosphere, the music and all the lovely people flooding the screen.
Further cast members include Leslie Hope, Jim Beaver and Burn Gorman.
Release: 16 October 2015

text: Was recently confronted with one of my peers (who I only recently met, and so far don't really like ) saying: And after a somewhat heated debate, out of which I came as "the winner" He's not retarded or anything; he's just your average college student (who happens to be kind of a dickhead). Throughout high school I've always heard teachers telling me that my grades were nowhere near as good as they should have been. Admittedly, high school was a breeze for me; I studied for my tests on the 20 minute bus ride and during recess. I only opened my textbooks at home when I had final exams. Never have I failed a year; sometimes it was close but I like to think that I have always had everything under control when it came to my grades. So, do you consider yourself intelligent? Do others?

Browns president Mike Holmgren called a news conference Monday to address the lockout imposed by the owners at midnight Friday that has stopped business in the NFL. He wanted to send a message of encouragement to Cleveland fans, despite the uncertainty that could threaten at least the start of the 2011 season.
"It's an interesting time, to say the least," he said. "At some point we'll play football games again. Hang in there.
"It's been my experience that these fans love this football team. Stay with us. This is going to work eventually. The hard part is I can't give you a time right now."
Holmgren said the organization will operate as "business as usual" during the lockout. He said there'd be no layoffs or pay cuts for the coaching staff. Most of the league's coaches had a clause placed in their contract that could reduce the salary in the event of a lockout.
He said season-ticket sales are ahead of last year's pace. If any games are missed due to a work stoppage, the Browns will refund the price of the ticket plus interest.
Holmgren expressed his optimism that the Browns are headed in the right direction as he starts his second season on the job, but acknowledged a prolonged work stoppage could hurt the team under new coach Pat Shurmur. The Browns, 14-34 the last three years, are switching to a West Coast offense and 4-3 defense and have yet to hold a team meeting or workout under Shurmur. During the lockout, teams are forbidden from having contact with the players.
Holmgren said he's trying not to worry about things he can't control. Like how much time the team will have to get ready for the season, how free agency will be altered and which players are being the most negatively affected by a lack of offseason practices.
Quarterback Colt McCoy was given a playbook before the lockout, and Holmgren expects him to try to organize workouts among his teammates.
"When we get back to playing, we'll get the team up to speed as quickly as possible," he said.
The only certainty in the NFL right now is that the draft will be held April 28-30. The Browns hold the No. 6 pick.
Holmgren repeated his trust in McCoy but wouldn't rule out the possibility of taking a quarterback in the first round. Auburn's Cam Newton and Missouri's Blaine Gabbert are the top two prospects.
"We're doing our due diligence," Holmgren said. "It's our obligation to investigate the best players coming out of college football.
"Don't' discount anything."
