Hello John!!!
Thanks for your letter. I am very glad that you have written to me! I know English, but I use the translator for convenience. I write to you about the Internet of cafe. In the Internet of cafe to me have helped to create e-mail and have found agency of acquaintances.
I shall write more in detail about myself. I was born in very beautiful city of Kazan on September, 29, 1978. The city of Kazan to be in republic Tatarstan. Went to school, and then in the Kazan State Financial and economic Institute, on a speciality the Manager - economist. On the speciality I could not find work, therefore I work as a saleswoman in a toy shop.
We live with mum together. My mum worked as the teacher at school and now to be on the deserved rest. I think that my appearance is attractive. My growth about 169 sm, weight - 52 of kg. My hair of fair-haired color, an eye at me heavenly color (blue).

I want will find the correct person which to love and care of me and I shall hope that our attitudes , will grow and at us all will turn out. I very much want to create family soon. The family happiness and love are everything, that so it is necessary for the lonely girl as I! Also I am very good cook! I think that it all girls necessarily should be able! I am able to prepare a lot of the various foodstuffs! My mother constantly learned me to this that I was the good wife! My favourite kitchen is the Russian kitchen, and gifts of the sea! I practically do not eat meat. What food is preferred by you? As to music I love all types of music, basically the Russian music and when I feel badly I listen to classical music. It weakens me! I have got used to a simple way of life and I do not aspire to luxury, but as well as all girls I like to go shopping and choose a new thing when there is money. You inform what character of girls love ? To what attributes you choose your future partner? I never smoked, did not accept drugs and I do not drink in general!

Hello dear John!!!
I am very glad to receive from you the letter. It is really interesting to me to learn about you more.
I do not understand, it is not pleasant to you, that I have chosen you. It does not arrange you or I do not approach you. To me it is simple you have very much liked and under letters I have understood, that you the remarkable person. What for to me still for whom that to search: young or still whom that. You are necessary for me. What the person of age, how old is he is has no value. The main thing, that love him. And the love has no restrictions in the age of. You agree with me? Many such examples when the adult the man of 50-60 years, takes the young girl of 18-25 years in the wife. And they are very happy, because like each other. As at us speak: all age are obedient to love.
I shall try to describe my character traits. I always search for harmony in all: in a life, concerning any kind. As I try to be the best in everything, in study, in work, in attitudes. I on the nature the optimist. If something is impossible to me, I try even more strongly, so I purposeful. I cannot give up to the friends if the help is necessary for them, probably therefore I am appreciated by friends. I am fair and I do not love unreliable people. I would want that at my second half the same character was.
I have decided to write to you as I spend a free time. I like to walk in the evening on park. Before dream I frequently read books. As I watch TV. Sometimes we with girlfriends go for city to have a rest. We have good place on the nature, at the river, in 10 kilometers from city. This very beautiful place where we like to have a rest. The husband of my girlfriend has the machine and we is fast and without problems we arrive on this place. We there sit at a fire and we sing songs under a guitar. I am a little capable to play on a guitar, I know all simple chords though I think, that I sing on much better. We fry a shish kebab on fire, I think, you know that such a shish kebab. We have pleasant conversation at fire. We usually leave in the afternoon and we come back late at night. And when weather allows, also we bathe much. Unfortunately it happens seldom because all are borrowed, and time we there suffices have for rest. I since the childhood very much love the nature and in my dreams till now it what to travel, try to be closer to the nature and animals. I very strongly love pets. In particular I like cats. We have black cat and I very strongly love her, her name is Gerd, she very kind and tender. Recently to it it was executed 4 years. This cat has appeared at our place casually. Four years ago, when I came back after study from University, I have heard plaintive crying a small kitten in an entrance. Having seen a poor kitten of her I became a pity to me also has taken away her to myself home. I submitted the announcement to the newspaper about found kittens, but anybody on this announcement has not responded has decided to leave her to itself. Since then she at us also lives. If at me it will turn out, I shall try to send together with the letter a photo with the image of my cat. I on it finish the letter, I hope you to me will write in the following letter a lot of interesting. I shall look forward your letter, yours Irina.
P.S. You have very much interested me.

Letter 4
Hello my dear John!!!
How at you an affair? At me all is normal. That that has not received today and yesterday too from you the letter. With you all is good? I worry. Began to think of you, my dear more and more. You even have dreamed in dream, to what it? We in this dream were together. I so strongly want, that this dream would come true.
In this letter I shall more in detail write about the work. As I already wrote to you, I work as a saleswoman in a toy shop. My working day begins 10 o'clock in the morning and 8 one o'clock in the evening come to an end. I should leave a house of 9 hours in time to have time for work. Shop in which I work " the Children's world " refers to. It is the big shop, a four-storeyed building borrowing all area. A department in which I work is located on the third floor. In our department we sell soft toys. And so in shop a lot of children's clothes, the footwear, is carriages, arenas, a wide range of bicycles.
My fellow workers very cheerful girls. We quite often after work have a rest together. Our shop one of the biggest in city and the biggest among the shops, trading toys. In our shop it is possible to find everything, that can interest the child. I very much love children, therefore with pleasure I help them to choose the necessary thing or a toy. But in shop is not only children's departments, but there are also departments for adults. I there sometimes buy to myself clothes or toys when is money. I simply adore soft toys. I in a department have huge bear, it very much is pleasant to me, but costs so dearly. I do not know, I can sometime nevertheless I shall save up money and the purchase of it. And so, basically, work is pleasant to me, it would be desirable certainly something better, well while it turns out to find nothing. Near to shop there is one good cafe. I with friends quite often there come to have a drink coffee. This summer in shop have made the big European-quality repair. Now there it became even more beautiful, better also than buyers began more. Some adults with children simply come into shop to take a walk and look at the goods. Here such work at me.
Well all right, on it I finish the letter, it is necessary to go home. Mum probably has already lost me, worries most likely. I hope you will write that be new about myself.
Yours Irina.
Letter 5
Hi my dear John!!!
How at you an affair? At me all is very bad. The chief on work has abused, he in general nervous. If at him a problem of a house he abuses all of us for any discrepancy. To me so it is now sad, all has bothered. It would be desirable to rely on somebody. I hope you to me will help morally to be restored. Therefore I have decided to write to you. Now there is no mood. I all the evening long, after work have cried. Recently at us on work was big shortage money, we have not left nearly. But have then borrowed money and have paid off. Our chief such swine. He recently approached to me with the obscene offer. He offered me increase on work, to begin the senior seller in a department of our shop if I shall oversleep with him. He did such offers not only me, but also other our workers. After they refused, he dismissed them. He to me has allowed time to think. I think to me it is necessary to discharge from office as he to me will not allow to work easy in shop. And me it is work it is very necessary, as we with my mum cannot live on her pension. If she was one money would suffice her. We and so as make both ends meet.Lovely I so want that you were now a number have consoled me, have embraced... If not the chief all would be on another. Work is pleasant to me, colleagues good, but with such chief to work it is impossible. At us many little girls left, but we while suffer. I want to ask you about one request, write to me please more often, you are necessary for me. I feel, that you very good person and on you are possible to rely. It is very pleasant to communicate with you. I hope road you of me you will not leave without attention a difficult minute. Mum already old, require the help. I help her as I can. It is necessary to buy medicines, to pay for treatment. At mum of a leg refuse also a back. Mum needs to pass every year treatment in sanatorium, but she cannot such allow herself. I too very much wanted to have a rest from all, somewhere to leave. But me now not before, it is necessary to work. Wanted to take holiday, but the chief does not allow.
And you road have frequently a rest? Most much more you like to go? Where you in general have visited? I for the life even did not see the sea, all money does not suffice. Here such life at me.
On it I shall finish the letter, it is time to me home. I wait with impatience of your following letter.
Your Irina.

Letter 7
Hi my lovely John!!!
I have received your letter. I think, that during that time as we with you are copied, we have very much become attached to each other and we are necessary to each other. I constantly think of you, you have taken a place in my heart. You will remain for ever in mine heart. My heart is filled by love with everyone your letter. Now my heart is borrowed only with you. I am very glad, that you in my heart. I long time not tested such fine feelings as now. That that I test such feelings, I am obliged only to you. I shall love you up to the end of my life! I thank the god that it has presented me of you. The love radial can change people. And I have felt it on myself. I can sit and think hours of us with you, my long-awaited! I present as we meet and rush to each other in embraces and I pay with happiness. On work I began a little it is absent-minded, it is spoken by my girlfriends. They are surprised, that I frequently smile. I began absent-minded because constantly I think of you. There were minutes, that I would not think of you. You have taken a huge place in my life. I am ready to shout at all planet, that all would hear about my love to you. My love sincere and clean, as morning dew after a rain. My love big and she wishes from you only reciprocity. I spoke with mum on the account of it, and she thinks, that I shall be happy. She wishes us only good. But she speaks badly, that I love the person and I am not near to the favourite person. And I with it agree. You are necessary for me and also I think that I am necessary for you. It is bad, that between us there is a distance, this obstacle between two people, loving each other. I began frank with you, and I want to tell we shall wash sexual experience. In Russia all men only think to entice you in a bed and to satisfy the primitive instinct. I want, that the love would be, not only in bed. The love this feeling given to us from above. The love is given what to test happiness, to study spiritual mood. I think that I am right, you agree with me? I think, that sex should be only with the favourite person. At two people should merge in uniform not only a body, but also soul. I hope we together we shall study all depths of pleasure. Sex it first of all spiritual pleasure when the man loves the woman and they answer each other mutually.
My address: Russia.

text: Hey guys Ok so I'm on the Verizon network with a little LG Dare. Ive NEVER had an Android phone or any phone outside of the typical run-of-the-mill phones on the network. Now my father (Whose plan I share with) JUST got a Droid X and I was stunned. Ive known little to nothing about these phones, I always loved the Iphone (CURSE YOU!!! I know ) but never looked outside of that. Now that I have the option to have something as good, or even better, on my own plan, I REALLY want to make the transition. So after doing FAR too much research on almost every Android out right now, I'm going with the Incredible. It just FEELS right even if it is slightly outdated compared to the Droid X/Fascinate/Droid 2. My only concern is that I would like to go with a one year plan but might not have that option. And I dont want to get into something and be stuck with it for an entire 2 years when there is a new "generation" of phones coming out in a few months(Sort of what happened with the Dare 2 years ago). So my question is: Should I really upgrade next week (when I have the ability to upgrade) or wait out with the Dare until late fall/winter for verizon to come out with some more phones (When apparently there is going to be a SURGE of great phones)? And anymore info would be great. Thanks guys. FYI -im on a Family share plan with my dad, and paying him a fraction of what my bill would be separately. I am going to be paying for the data plan/insurance for any Android phone. -Dad has a Droid X and I really can't stand it. Too big and clunky. The Fascinate is a bit too cumbersome with its OS and I dont care for Bing. I prefer Google. -ANYTHING would be better than the Dare at this point, but I can tolerate it for a little while. -Are there any new details on newer Verizon phones coming out? I keep hearing about the Incredible 2/HD, Merge, that odd Nexus One full keyboard thing. -Im hoping to replace my ipod, point and click camera (dont even have one), GPS, radio, and main phone with this device.

We all intuitively know some music is 'relaxing' or 'energizing' or 'romantic'… but it's more than a curiosity: music can be effectively used as a therapeutic aid or remedy.In India, certain ancient tunes are known to enhance helpful influences from the Universe and summon healing powers. Even the chinese character for 'medicine' ( 藥 ) is derived from the one used to refer to 'music' ( 樂 ). At the Sanctuary of Joy we are using music in a few different ways:we compose meditation music some of which is available for streaming – watch this site, like us on facebook, or subscribe to our Newsletter to hear it when new tracks become availablewe perform live channeled meditation music during Reiki sessions or meditation practicesas a practical activity to get you 'actively' involved: we teach practical workshops on how to build your own simple musical instrument – no music knowledge required upfront, it will reconnect you with your inner child and creative being

Letter(s) from Anna Kulalaewa to Paul (Australia)
Letter 1
I looked at your profile. And it would be pleasant to me to have acquaintance to you. What do you think of it? I hope you not against.
I also hope that the difference in the age of does not frighten you. I shall be glad if you will send me yours e-mail. I prefer to exchange letters and to learn each other more. I wish to find good and careful the man. I hope that you such. Please write to me as soon as possible.
I shall wait your answer with greater impatience. Your new friend Kristina
Letter 2
Hello my new friend !
I would like to tank you for this your letter and writing to me. I am very glad that I met you here. I didn't know much about the Internet, till not long time ago one my friend told me about it and told me how she found her love here. i was really excited and decided to take risk. This is why I am here. I think that it is really nice that we managed to meet each other here among lots of other people. I really would like to know you and be your friend. Would you mind telling me a little bit more about yourself? What do you do for living? What do you like and dislike? What do you like doing apart from work?
I think that I should tell you a little bit about myself. I would like to tell you that I am newer to all this kind of correspondence and this is why I would like to tell you that I probably don't know some laws of writing here, but please know that I am writing to you from the bottom of my heart! So my name is Kristina. There are lots of ways friends can change my name and call me Kristi, Kriss, Kristinochka and so on. I think that you can change the one that you like. so I was born on the 23th october 1982. I was born in Russia , in the town called Saint Petersburg. My childhood was quite difficult for me because I had to live without parents. My mother left me when I was the small child and I was really lucky that my grandmother adopted me.
She was everything to me. She couldn't help me much because she was from poor family, but she did everything to support me. I hardly can recall that time without tears. But nevertheless this made me stronger and I became and adult much earlier than my friends and peers.
After school I decided to went to the law college because it all was really interested for me and after graduating I started my work in the law enforcement. First it was very difficult for me because I fetch and carry everything, but then all my efforts were noticed and I started my work as the criminalist. It seems to be quite difficult work, but I like it very much because I think my work is really useful for other people. This is a small chapter from the book of my life.
I hope that you are interested and I will be waiting for your answer.
Take care
Yours Kristina
Letter 3
Hello my dear friend Paul!
I am so happy that you are interested and that I receive your answer.
I think that in some way corresponding here is like the fortune telling with the help of the camomile "will write me or not". I am glad that you wrote me!
I think that corresponding here is like meeting step by step, closer and closer and I right now it is my turn to make one more step to you . I know that you would like to know more about the things that make my life, that are my interests, hobbies... I like also to communicating with my friends. I have best friend, her name is Ann:).
When I have free time I really like doing something that can help me forget about my work, as it is very tiring and difficult. I like good books and I adore listening to the music. There is no some my favorite kind of it, but I like listening all kinds of music except rap. what about you? I also like nature very much and when i have time I like spending there time having the picnics with friends, or just walking in the forest! This is how I spend my free time. One more thing that I like is rain. i like all kinds of weather and all seasons, but I am always happy when it is raining. I like to sit on the window sill and watch how the drops of rain fall on the ground, I like the smell of rain, I like its sounds... What about you?
Now i will finish my letter as i am a little bit tired today because
of my work.
With kisses
Yours Kristina

Great organizations spreading Feminism and inclusion into the Jewish community. As a Rabbi at an all-women's college, I use their materials regularly and share them with my students.
JOFA provides a thrilling and unusual sense of community for Orthodox Jewish women and families who are also committed to the values of feminism.
I have experience volunteering for and being active in many Jewish organizations, as well as organiations with some feminist ideology. However, JOFA's turning to me in the year 2000 to ask me to lecture was only the first indication of the inclusivity of JOFA and its constant search for redefining needs of Jewish women. Since then I have been part of brainstorming, projects, conferences--at the same time as being active in other organizations. JOFA IS THE MOST MATURE of them all. There is ongoing development and reassesment of direction, with very wise decisioins being made--thus leading jewish women and answering their evolving needs.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger for the first time has admitted he is worried about club's top-four finish this season following their 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.
The Gunners boss finds himself seven points adrift of fourth-placed rivals Tottenham Hotspurs and in serious danger of not making the Champions League, after blaming a slow start for their defeat against the Blues, the Daily Mirror reports.
Wenger said they lost two big games in the last week, and that's very damaging for them, adding they can't drop points any more if they want to be in the top four and that's a concern.
Wenger added the club has fantastic quality and spirit, but coming into the game when they were 2-0 down and that is very difficult in the big games.
Wenger, who has guided the Gunners to 15 consecutive Champions League campaigns, further added they were stretched and they gave Chelsea far too much room to play and they didn't defend tightly enough. (ANI)

Probably no one is surprised with gasoline prices going up. By paying same amount of money you get less and less mileage everyday. Eventually you reach a point when you start thinking of some radical changes. Changing petroleum fuel in to another form of energy like electricity is a great choice, but radical move is impossible without radical infrastructure changes. If you choose an electricity driven vehicle you will face charging problem. Charging stations aren't wide spread enough. And battery technology is till in progress to reach high energy density for acceptable price. We believe that future is for electric cars, but now we need some sort of middle point where we still could use what's around us and be one step to future. Companies like Lexus (www.lexus.co.uk) has been intensively working on hybrid car technologies over a decade. They have reached really good results on efficiency, decreasing emissions and comfort of driving.
Hybrid cars usually have two types of motors – internal combustion and electric. Both in combination they increase fuel efficiency, lower CO2 emission. Some technical data can be found at http://www.lexus.co.uk/hybrid/index.tmex. Generally speaking there are two types of hybrid cars – Full Hybrid and Mild Hybrid. Full Hybrid cars cab be driven using gasoline engine and/or electric motors. On start up and low speeds car is usually driven by electric motor. Gasoline engine starts only when speeding up or when batteries runs out. In city area practically you will be driven by electric motor. Hybrid electric motor is powered from battery pack. There is not as much of battery as in electric cars, but enough to drive car for some time. The batteries can be charged in many ways: when gasoline engine is on they are charged from generator. Also there is a break regeneration used when car slows down motor – then electric motor acts as generator and charges battery. And of course batteries can be charged from outside by plugging to power supply when parking or in garage. Soft hybrid cars carry an electric motor which is only used to boost gasoline motor to give it an extra power. The mild hybrid systems are also known as start/stop system. It shuts gasoline motor off when it is idle (at red lights) ant starts it when accelerator is hit.
Currently hybrid cars is a great choice if you want to save environment with less pollution. Having hybrid car you won't feel fuel prices going up. And probably in your country or city you can get tax incentives or free parking. However hybrid cars wont be a panacea in future. With battery technologies evolving there might be no need to use gasoline engines anymore. Carrying gas tank and battery pack adds a significant wight to total car mass. For now this disadvantage is solved by using smaller internal combustion engines. And still hybrid cars are expensive when compared to gasoline driven cars. But in long term they pay off due to less fuel cost.

21 Year-Old+ College Students Have A Right to Self Defense
by Bill Simon
Are you familiar with the expression "comparing apples to oranges?" (If not, phone a friend.)
Because, the arguments I've heard regarding the pro-side for allowing students to carry concealed guns on campus to defend themselves, and the anti-side to this right are, literally, apples and oranges.
I am shocked and dismayed to learn that legislators who claim to be all "2nd Amendment" believers, and "I own and shoot guns" kind of folks are actually…kinda ignorant about the relevant components of the actual subject matter.
In a poll released yesterday by Insider Advantage/FOX 5/GAPundit.com, the survey asked 2,613 registered voters how they felt about the Georgia Legislature allowing guns to be carried by students and some other designated individuals on college campuses. These are those results:
a) Favor 31%
b) Oppose 56%
c) No opinion/ Undecided 13%
Now, I am not here to attempt to educate the voting population, but I am here to bring a few facts to light that I know will have a direct impact and relevance on this discussion amongst Republican legislators that, a lot of them, are simply not aware of for some reason.
The Facts About Current Georgia Weapon Permit Laws
1) The minimum age that someone can apply to obtain a carry permit is 21 years old. That is the Georgia State LAW as it exists right now.
2) In order for a permit to be granted, one has to go to their county probate court office to apply. When you apply, you fill-out an application that includes a Social Security#, and you are fingerprinted. You know why you are fingerprinted? Because it is ALREADY required that anyone who wishes to carry a gun concealed in Georgia is subjected to a criminal background check BY THE GBI.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen, if the current minimum age is 21 years of age, then we know by the sheer use of deductive logic that no 15-year old college student, no 16-year-old college student, no 17-year-old college student, no 18-year-old college student, no 19-year-old college student, no 20-year-old college student, and no 20-year and 360-days old college student will EVER be allowed to possess a carry permit, don't we?
And, permit me to use just an extension of this logic to presume that, on average, this is the "status" of a college student at their respective age:
Freshman: 18 years old
Sophomore: 19 years old
Junior: 20 years old
Senior: 21 years old
So, contrary to the idiocy expressed by college presidents like Georgia Tech President Bud Peterson, in this 2010 interview with Maureen Downey, there won't be "19,900 college students" in his university that he will have to worry about obtaining a gun permit because any student younger than 21-years of age cannot obtain a concealed permit license in Georgia.
And, contrary to the expressions of ignorance by both some legislators, and a whole bunch of people who don't have a clue, college senior-level undergraduate students are not as prone to "struggling with new relationships and overwhelming new atmospheres" as the comment at the bottom of that Maureen Downney article cites from Georgia Tech's SGA President. It's just a display of absolute ignorance about the current laws in this state.
And, of course, what about the 25-year-old college students? Or, 30-year-old college students? Or, 50-year-old college students?
I have more to discuss…but this is a good place to pose this question for you folks in the Legislature to start pondering an answer to: What is the difference between a 21-year-old college student who is qualified to obtain a carry permit, but not permitted to carry for self-defense on campus as the law currently stipulates, AND a 21-year-old who is not a college student, who is permitted to obtain a carry permit? Ponder that question very, very carefully…
"I am not trying to blame the victims but they aren't being smart."
Georgia Tech President Bud Peterson's comments from that 2010 article provide a harvest of inspiration here on this issue.
I am a graduate of, and I hold a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from, Georgia Tech. And, as an alum, this guy ticks me off for several of his comments in this article:
1) Though he couches it, he actually does blame the VICTIMS for them being robbed, raped, assaulted, murdered, etc., because they just weren't "being smart." (Really, Bud? It's the victim's fault because they are not "smart," and not the criminal's fault, eh?)
2) Peterson goes on to claim the following to Downey: "[Peterson] noted that the robberies follow the same pattern: A male Tech student listening to his iPod is walking in the neighborhoods around the campus very late at night and is surprised by someone jumping out of car suddenly and demanding his iPod, cell phone, laptop and wallet. (Crime on campus is actually down, he says. It's the surrounding area that poses the danger.)"
You know what? When I read THAT statement, I smelled a rat…because what that statement is, is just too simplistic a statement to make, and I believed it to be a mere projection of what someone who thinks they are far superior to what everyone else could possibly thinks, and he recklessly offered that as "proof" of his mentality on crime and victims.
And, it was such a stench that I got a few folks working on research to help me with tracking down exactly what kind of voter this guy is via figuring out his voting record in Georgia.
AND…fellow Republicans, I have proof of exactly what kind of voter he is: He is a Democrat, because he pulled the Democrat ballot in the 2012 Primary (not the PPP, but the General Primary in 2012). The only other time he voted was in the General Election of 2010, and that is because he moved to Georgia in 2009 after he accepted the offer to become Tech's President. (Go ahead, Mr. Peterson…deny it, so I can roll-out all your voting information as proof).
So, to you self-proclaimed conservative folks in the Legislature, you are all being duped by someone who has a BORN objection to the concept of owning a gun for self-defense (he's also from the Left Coast, which just adds more evidence to the fire).
Video Testimony of Rape Victim Amanda Collins
Now, to bolster my point (and the point of many people who believe and honor the concept of the 2nd Amendment), I will use the testimony of Amanda Collins, who was raped and she was not 'listening to her iPod" before the rape. Now, I truly advise you folks to take the time to view her full 12-minute testimony before the Nevada State Legislature in April 2013, because I am going to refer to this testimony several times going forward in this article,and if you have not seen it, you're not going to understand what I say:
Now, it is pretty clear to me that Amanda Collins was not being "careless" in her walk or if she had her earphones plugged-in and listening to her iPod (as the left-winged Democrat GT College President Bud Peterson proposes all college students do because, in his mind, that's "…just what they do, they are irresponsible children, and I know this because I'm a college president and I know more than you do, and I can lie to you and get away with it because you think I'm someone to be respected without question…")
The Facts About Liberals & Guns
Ever wonder why the majority of people who lean left, and/or, are sworn-in blood to be members of the Democratic/Progressive Party, always appear to be the most unhappy, angry-at-the-world, kinda-sorta, really unattractive people?
It's not because of their genetics necessarily, but mostly because of their mental attitude towards 1) themselves, and 2) then the world reflects back on them how they feel about themselves.
Liberals, by and large, tend to be the ugly, unattractive people, not because of genetics, but because they choose to fill their minds with ugly thoughts about themselves…and then they spend their time projecting what they presume other people are thinking about them. And, thus the cycle of self-loathing tends to affect their outward appearance.
All that thinking does is make one unhappy with themselves, and therefore, they project-out that the world is as ugly a place as they feel their life is, both on physical looks, and mental attitudes…and, they then seek to start changing the world to suit their own "magic vision" of a perfect world where everyone is required to like everyone else, and love everyone else according to rules and laws, and for the "world" to punish people who are better-looking, or who refuse to like and love people the way they think people should like and love people.
Well, it is that concept of "punishment" (or, "just desserts") that I believe is going on with why liberals (especially, liberal women) are so opposed to allowing college women the tools to protect themselves.
Because liberals love to build a "victim class" of people. They don't ever really want to solve a problem, they just love to build-up a class of victims to represent, puff themselves up, and give them a purpose in the world.
And, so…in researching this Vine, I came upon this article in Psychology Today, published in 2011: "Is rape about control or sex?"
The article addresses what I've long suspected was bunk about the majority of rape incidences on women by an overpowering male. (If you don't like my conclusions, find a way to rebut the evidence in this article, because Psychology Today is not, by any means, a "right-wing publication.")
By "majority", I mean incidents like what Amanda Collins experienced.
The rape against Amanda Collins was not a statutory rape. It was not a date rape. That was a specific type of rape that is, I propose, to be THE most often feared type of rape by most women who are above the age of 18-years old.
What I thought was bunk is the statement I've heard from feminists for years that "Rape is not about sex, but about power."
If so, then why is it called a "sex crime" by police departments and the law? It is called a "sex crime" for a reason: It's about sex being forced onto someone against their will. Against their permission. Against their consent.
It is about power, but it is about power being used in a sexual act. Just like an armed robbery is about power being used in the commission of a property crime.
"Power" is, for the most part, used in the commission of all crimes against people. So, when someone claims that rape is all about "power," my response would be, "Yes, and so is every other type of person-on-person crime."
And…what is intriguing about the Psychology Today article is this revelation: "Symons reviewed forensic evidence showing that victims, as a class, were most likely to be young physically attractive women (as opposed to older, more successful career women). On the other hand, convicted rapists were disproportionately young disadvantaged men whose low social status made them undesirable as dating partners, or husbands."
Let me excerpt the intriguing part, and why I feel it relates to this campus-carry law: "…young, physically attractive women…" are the ones who comprise of the most targeted class of victims by an aggressor.
Well…do you know who ugly-minded, liberal people hate more than themselves? Those "young, physically attractive women" that they are so jealous of.
When any liberal woman votes against a bill such as HB 512, I will assert that it is because they themselves know who the most targeted class of women are, and it gives them a personal thrill of self-satisfaction that when one of the "pretty ones" gets raped, and is not allowed to defend themselves, the ugly-minded liberal thinks to herself: "Well, Miss Pretty, now let's see how you feel about yourself now." In the liberal's mind, the act of a rape against a "prettier woman" is "the world" equalizing the injustice they feel about themselves.
Liberal, ugly-minded women love it when the "attractive women" (who are "attractive," more so for the way they personally feel about themselves, and how they concentrate thinking about themselves in positive, attractive ways) are raped and assaulted. Why else would they oppose allowing a woman, any woman, the means to protect herself?
So, looking at the vote-count of those voting Y or N in the 2013 State House session for HB 512, one can recognize the names of all the Democrats who voted against this bill, and conclude that they are actually more interested in ensuring that no "pretty woman" will ever have the chance to defend herself with something like legally carrying a concealed handgun (especially since she will be 21 years of age or older) to use to defend her body and her life against an aggressor…because, in their ugly-pattern of thought-process, they want those "pretty women to get some justified desserts" to, somehow, equalize their concept of an "unfair world."
The Financial Cost of Protecting One's Life
There is a "demand" by someone on the anti-carry side to require that every student who wants to carry concealed on a college campus in Georgia to take a "safety course" before being allowed to carry on campus.
Is there anything in Georgia law now that requires a "safety course?" No. Because, the "right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed."
Back to my question way back, is there a difference between a 21-year-old college senior who is licensed to carry concealed, and a 21-year old who is not attending college who obtains a carry permit?
And, the answer is "NO." No difference at all. As Amanda Collins points out in her testimony, this "arbitrary line" that defines a college campus's boundaries doesn't really translate to any kind of "safer zone" than anywhere beyond the college campus.
Let me present to you that there is a financial cost to buying a gun for personal protection, and I actually interpret Bud Peterson's (and the Board of Regents and other college presidents) demand for a "safety course" to be a subversive way to prevent college students, who ARE already on very tight financial budgets, to slow-down their ability to legally carry on campus.
Here are financial costs already in place:
1) The cost of obtaining a carry-permit: Ranges from $75 to $100 (or so) in every county in Georgia.
2) The cost of acquiring the actual gun to defend oneself: $300-$500
3) Ammunition: Around $1 per round.
4) Holster: $15-$50.
5) Range time to practice shooting: About $20-$30, including range time and practice rounds. (More if you wish to rent one of their guns to practice).
So, when one proposes a "safety course" for a student to be required to take first, how much is this "safety course" going to cost? Is it about "safety" or, is it more about tax and fee revenue…and making sure another hurdle is placed to prevent a student from defending him/herself?
Because, I will propose to you that unless you put a cap of something like $15 on the maximum cost for a "safety course," then you are, actually, trying to directly impede someone's right to defend themselves.
You folks in the Legislature had better have a maximum cap of a very low amount so that cash-strapped college students don't have to choose between defending their life, and saving-up food money to pay for an exhorbitantly-priced "safety course."
And, when we have an example like, say, Georgia State University, when the age of the average student (because it is an urban campus that a lot of working people attend) is, perhaps, 25 years old, do you folks actually think that 25-year-old college student is less "responsible" than a 25 year-old non-college student who is carrying concealed?
The right to keep and bear arms is both a U.S. Constitutional right, and a Georgia Constitution right. The "power to decide" whether a 21+ year-old student is allowed to carry on campus should not be left up to college presidents…because the Constitution supersedes what self-important college presidents want.
And…whoever you are, if you vote against this bill, I am going to assume that you, actually (whether you are a male or a female, a Republican or a Democrat), are, yourselves, in the parking garage, standing in the vicinity of the rape taking place, observing the rape of a woman on a college campus (like, say, another woman like Amanda Collins), standing right next to the rapist, protecting that rapist's life by prohibiting that woman, who is 21-years of age or older, from legally carrying a concealed weapon to defend her life and body against a male aggressor intent on having brutal, forced sex with her.
THAT is who you are who oppose this bill in any way, shape, or manner.
Well, you and Bud Peterson, of course, as that is what he, as a left-winger, wants to have happen on his campus. Peterson, like all liberals, wants the rapist to be successful. He, like all liberal-minded people, loves to build the victim class to be as large as possible. It is what is in the liberal DNA.
The right to keep and bear arms is there in the Constitution because, along with having a right to life, people have a right and a duty to protect their own lives against people who intend to do them harm.
As the Website ConcealedCampus.org points out, "Self-Defense is a Human Right."
NO college president can possibly ever prevent every life-threatening criminal act against their campus's students, regardless of how many cops they hire, regardless of how much lighting is on campus, etc.
And, if you want to become better informed about the risks that students on campuses all over the U.S. face, take a gander at this list of crimes attempted against students by criminals.
While crime on campuses in Georgia may be rare, it doesn't matter. Seconds count…unless you folks want more cases of "Amanda Collins" to occur in Georgia…because, even if it occurs just once, once is too many times if it occurs against a student who would have wanted a gun to protect him/herself.
As Amanda Collins states at the end of her testimony, "How does rendering me defenseless protect you against a violent crime?"
In closing, I suggest you Review Collins' testimony again here: Amanda Collins' Testimony, and let me know if you would rather have more victims like her in your mind.

The postal watchdog is considering taking action against Royal Mail after allegations that service quality tests were rigged by workers.
Postcomm received an insider tip-off last year that the names and addresses of recipients of test deliveries were circulated among staff, including senior managers, "for a number of years". Workers could therefore ensure that post for those people – which were meant to be subject to independent testing – were delivered on time.
The abuse is thought to have being going on for "several years" and involved countless staff across the country from delivery workers to senior managers.
Senior staff, including Adam Crozier, Royal Mail's chief executive, have been paid tens of thousands of pounds in bonuses based on the company's "service quality" figures, which include data on delivery times.
Although there is no evidence that senior executives were aware of what was going on, Postcomm said some managers "may have received bonus payments to which they were not entitled", since they were "based on recorded levels of quality of service which were incorrectly monitored and recorded".
The watchdog said it was "minded" to find that Royal Mail had breached licence conditions relating to quality of service. In a preliminary report from 17 February, published in the Daily Telegraph, it found that Royal Mail had failed since July 2006 to meet those conditions.
If found guilty the company could face a six-figure fine.
As part of its licence conditions the Royal Mail was obliged to use the market research firm Research International to monitor the standard of its service.
Part of this clause also meant Royal Mail should make sure that the 22,000 volunteer panellists used to send test mail to each other remained anonymous.
Postcomm said postal workers were identifying the test mail by feeling envelopes for a microchip they contained. However, the rigging did not make a "material difference" to the firm's published quality of service figures, Postcomm said.
During Royal Mail's own investigation into the allegations a number of staff were suspended.
Postcomm is expected to make a final decision on whether to take action against Royal Mail in May.

How would an affiliate recommend another affiliate? Does SAS provide a link or functionality to do so? In one of the program I am managing, we are planning to add this Two Tier program but not sure if that would actually work!!! On top, SAS help menu sucks!! Have no info on that.

SAS offers links to sign up new affiliates to SAS. Some programs offer tiered commissions. Ask Sarah or Carolyn for help if you can't find the information in the interface.

If the merchant has a two-tier program available, there will be a "Join Merchant Program" tracking link available in the merchant's "Get Links" section.
Taking into account Michael's posts listed above (definitely good food for thought), if you were looking for available two-tier programs in ShareASale, simply go to "View/Search Merchant List," then in the links below, click "Advanced Search." On the right, you'll see a checkbox for "Two-Tier". Et voila

Realty Wrangle
Will Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman keep James Gandolfini's $300K?
It's the textbook Mafia movie scenario—the sweet deal gone sour. Only, in this real-life version of the plot, the mob boss might actually have to pay up.
The deal: According to papers filed with the New York State supreme court on Oct. 25, Sopranos star James Gandolfini, 40, signed a contract on July 10 to purchase a four-story Manhattan brownstone, complete with wood-burning fireplaces and a 1920s cottage out back, from owners Uma Thurman, 31, and Ethan Hawke, 31. The property, listed at $3.6 million—for which Gandolfini plunked down a $300,000 deposit—was, at the time, a cooperative divided into three units that the actor could convert into a single residence. It appears to be a fixer-upper. "The building is a wreck, it was a mess, it had to be gutted," says Anne Snee, senior vice president and direr of townhouse sales for the Corcoran Group, who has seen the property.
The twist: Not being satisfied that Thurman and Hawke had gotten government clearance to sell the building as a condominium, Gandolfini, who has a 2-year-old son with his wife, Marcy, broke off the agreement. In response, Thurman and Hawke have filed a petition to retain the actor's $300,000 deposit.
The finale? Fuhgeddaboutit. Gandolfini may have made a deal he can't refuse. Stay tuned.
Judge: Show Her the Money
When an obscure European publication wrote that porn performer Chad Slater, 34, had had a sexual affair with Tom Cruise, 39, the actor slapped Slater with a $100 million defamation lawsuit. But not everyone is under Cruise's control. An L.A. judge has denied the actor's attempt to include Slater's ex-wife Kristina Ann Kirstin, 49, in the case. Following the suit, Kirstin sold a story about her husband's problems to the National Enquirer. She claimed First Amendment protection, saying Cruise made the issue public by suing Slater. Now Cruise must pay her $27,900 legal fees. Says his attorney: "There's no dispute that the story is false."
Clooney Strikes Back
When fledgling actors Mario Barbieri Cecchini, Gerry Donato and Robert Kalomeer were booted from the Screen Actors Guild Oct. 14 for having worked or auditioned during last year's rancorous commercial strike, George Clooney, 40, saddled up his white horse. In a letter to the SAG board, the star, who lad no personal connections to the three, urged the union to accept the actors' apologies and impose fines (which he offered to pay), rather than revoke their memberships for life. Celebrities like Elizabeth Hurley and Tiger Woods, he noted, were merely fined ($100,000) for their strike infractions. SAG board member Greg Krizman was not moved. The celebs were remorseful onetime offenders, he says, while the three expelled men admitted, at Guild hearings, repeatedly crossing picket lines. Clooney maintains his stance. Krizman says, "I don't think he did enough research here."
Hello, Sailors!
Times are dramatic, and one does what one can. For Pamela Anderson, that meant rising at 4 a.m., locking into full-primp mode and giving her all—sartorially speaking—for the nearly 5,000 sailors of the San Diego-based aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, which leaves for the Middle East later this month. Anderson's beau, rapper Kid Rock, was by her side (rumors I that they're going to have a baby are untrue, she says). Fully clad in sailor-pleasing red satin and plastic-and-rhinestone spike heels (they were "not sensible boat shoes," she concluded), Anderson blew kisses, signed autographs and posed for snapshots, to the crew's evident delight. "I'm stuck on this floating Alcatraz," said aviation technician Hector Villalobos. "But I saw Pam."
Slam, Bam, It's Fightin' Hackman
On Oct. 29 actor Gene Hackman, driving a Volvo, attempted a turn on L.A.'s Laurel Canyon Blvd. and bumped into another Volvo that had jumped the light. Then things got ugly fast. Both drivers pulled over safely, ostensibly to exchange insurance information. Then, says Dick Guttman, the actor's publicist, the man at the wheel of the second car and his male passenger came out shouting slurs at the famed actor. The driver shoved Hackman, 71, who started swinging. Then the passenger put the star of 1992's Unforgiven in a choke hold. A scuffle ensued that left all three bruised. Yet when police arrived at the scene, "the men elected not to press charges against each other," says LAPD officer Guillermo Campos. So does Hackman prefer to settle matters the old-fashioned way? "He's a gentle guy," says Guttman. "But there comes a point where you have to stand up or get knocked down. He chose to stand up."
War of the Roses
Miss America has been a float-top cherry at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade since the mid-'60s. But this year's winner, Katie Harman, 21, won't get her miracle on 34th Street. Instead, the coveted perch goes to Miss Universe, Denise Quiñones, 21, of Puerto Rico. "Recently we opened a Macy's in Puerto Rico," explains a store rep. "We worked with Miss Universe and saw what a talented singer she was." While some deem the snub unpatriotic, Donald Trump, 55, who owns half of the Miss Universe franchise, says it's just business. "Miss Universe has become the hottest thing in town," claims Trump. His solution? "Have both of them in the parade." Bob Renneisen, CEO of Miss America, scoffs at the very idea. Harman, he says, will appear at Philadelphia's Thanksgiving Day march instead. "There is no way she would appear in the same parade with Miss Universe," says Renneisen. "Think of Coke and Pepsi. If you have the real thing, why would you want an imitation?"
Saluting the Senior Stone
You can't always get what you want. But when you turn 65—as former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman did Oct. 24—you just might find, you get…a weekly check for $103 from Britain's state retirement pension plan and a citizen's bus pass, good for a free ride after rush hour in the mornings. Wyman, who owns London's popular Sticky Fingers Cafe and continues to perform with the Rhythm Kings, can keep it all. The government allows senior citizens to continue working while collecting the benefits. He may need to: Wyman will be 80 when his pension increases—by only 36 cents.
Leo the Great?
Leonardo DiCaprio has agreed to play Alexander the Great, Macedonian conqueror of Greece, Persia and Egypt, in an epic to be directed by Martin Scorsese. Seemingly it's the role of a lifetime for any actor. But beware, Leo: Cinematic history is strewn with the cringe-inducing performances by fine thespians who simply dreamed too big. To name a few…
with Joan and Melissa Rivers
In the wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, Emmy officials promised a more serious tone for this year's Nov. 4 award ceremonies. That could prove a challenge to Joan and Melissa Rivers, known for their cheeky red-carpet interviews on cable's E! network. Scoop spoke with Joan, 68, and Melissa, 33, moments after they conferred by phone with their E! producers.
After two postponements, the show goes on. Relieved?
Joan: I'm glad it's going on, and I hope the women look beautiful. We should celebrate it and not be ashamed of it.
Are you toning down your act?
Joan: The first question probably won't be, "What are you wearing?" The first question is going to be, "How are you doing?" or "Were you frightened coming here today?" It's going to be much more about what's going on in the world and in our lives. But if somebody's standing there looking great, of course you're going to say, as shallow as it is, "Who the hell made those shoes?"
Will the outrageous fashions be missing?
Melissa: I think we're going to see a lot more of people's personal style, what they actually wear in a real-life situation rather than, "I'm in a gown."
Does that go for you too, Joan?
Joan: If I had to dress appropriately—or, as they say, dress age-appropriately—I would be in a shroud.
Ellen DeGeneres is the host this year. How's her fashion sense?
Melissa: Believe me, if you look at the labels and the tags and the cut of her suits, she does know what she's doing.
How does E! want you to handle the interviews?
Joan: We had a big meeting, and they took it very seriously. They said, "Don't ask any frivolous questions." You stand there talking to women who have been throwing up for weeks to fit in their dresses, and I'm supposed to ask, "Where do you stand on gun control?"
What will you be thinking of as the show begins?
Joan: Where is Björk when we need her?
Backstreet Boy Nick Carter wanted $3.6 million for this 101-acre ranch outside Santa Barbara, Calif., $300,000 more than he paid for it in 1999. The seven-bedroom, 10,000-sq.-ft. house recently sold to an undisclosed buyer for $2.9 million. The estate, which boasts a panoramic view of the Santa Ynez mountains, features a pond, eight-stall barn, tennis court, swimming pool and indoor spa and sauna in a valley that Hollywood stars like Bo Derek, Cheryl Ladd, Noah Wyle and Michael Jackson have called home in recent years. According to Scot Foss, who handled the sale, Carter, 21, was unable to enjoy the ranch because he was always on the road.

Lessons In Leadership
June 11, 2001
In the 19th century, private expeditions to the Arctic region achieved more success with fewer resources and fewer casualties than government-sponsored exploration. Why was the private sector more efficient and successful?
According to economist Jonathan M. Karpoff, who examined 92 expeditions from 1818 to 1909, the private expeditions were better organized and led.
- In 77 percent of private expeditions, the leader initiated, planned and led their teams, increasing their motivation and preparation; but only 26 percent of leaders of public expeditions did so.
- Moreover, private leaders delegated decisions more often, solicited and used crew information and participated in menial chores.
- By contrast, the hierarchical leadership structure of public expeditions prevented a flow of information between the leaders and the crew, reducing efficiency.
The teams assembled by the private expeditions' leaders were better:
- Private expeditions proved to be more adaptable and better able to learn from their mistakes than public expeditions.
- Private crews were usually seasoned travelers, whereas public crews were less accustomed to the terrain.
- Also, private crews voluntarily chose to be part of the expeditions, while public crews were often appointed -- and thus less motivated.
Finally, another important factor was the incentive for success. Public employees were paid regardless of their achievement, while private employees received additional payments for reaching their goals.
These differences between private and public efforts can be seen today in modern industries and government agencies. This suggests the entrepreneurial private sector has advantages in motivation, organization and incentives over government efforts, regardless of the century.

Salon 58 and PICHULIK joined efforts to celebrate the disposition of seven astonishing South African women. Jackie Burger, Anet Pienaar Vosloo, Mellissa Muringani, Lindiwe Suttle, Juanita Daniel, Doreen de Waal and Jenna Bruwer are the women whose individuality served as inspiration for the collaboration. A hallmark of Pichulik's designs is her ability to bring the sacred and the meaningful to ornamentation. Similarly, photographer Kristin-Lee Moolman referenced religious iconography to create the series of bold portraits exhibited at the Salon 58.
A woman's clothing and accessories reveal a lot about her and we conceptualized these portraits to tell their stories in a bold new way. Earrings are extremely intimate, more so than other types of jewellery, as they gently brush the neck. They frame the face and it was an honour to be able to create designs for such bold, brave and beautiful facesThis collaboration is the latest in a series of firsts for Pichulik this year. In January she was named as a finalist in Vogue Italia's Scouting for Africa project. This was followed by an invitation to appear in the Marie Claire #MCNaked 2015 issue (out now) in support of Blow The Whistle, an initiative that campaigns against rape.
