Most women truly do not want much. I do. I like, I offer and I am expecting a quality time. A behavior like a gentleman makes the difference, all the time (except those creamy moments we are both naughty and we need those "spicy"/ juicy moments). I can tell, I am not a kind of woman, I am something more.What do I like: not only to be complimented or supported in every possible way, I like standards, I have standards and I know that you have too so here comes the 2nd thing that I like, I like to think that you will know what I want without asking, just "step by" and watch me for couple of seconds, it will be enough for you to realise what I like.
My Fantasies
Pick me, touch me, kiss me, be quiet all this time, it is not the right time yet to let me hear your voice. You can take the control, I'm getting excited every time you surprise me. There is something you need to know, you have to get ready because when I'm hot you will be surprised about all my naughy dirty, thoughts and fantasies.
My Obsessions & Desires
Touching my hard nipples, spanking my ass, hearing you talking dirty to me makes me very wet but seeing you hard, exploring every inch of your body makes me wanting you deep inside me! Let me be your ultimate, sensual, and sophisticated fetish!
Additional Info
Feel free to experiment with me, I'm opened to discover my limits day by day, only if it happens with you. I know that I am "the voyeuristic" person. Hmm. what else will help me to find out? You just made me curious.!!
Special Info

NEW YORK— Women lag behind men in both job level and salary starting from their first position post-business school and do not catch up, according to Catalyst's Pipeline's Broken Promise, the latest report examining high potential graduates from top business schools around the world. The study, released today, reveals that the assertion that women advance in compensation and level at the same pace as men is overstated and, in many cases, completely wrong.
The report, part of a broad, ongoing study of thousands of women and men MBA alumni in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia, provides a global analysis of the pace of progress for these high potential employees. Even after taking into account experience, industry, and region, the report found women start at lower levels than men, make on average $4,600 less in their initial jobs, and continue to be outpaced by men in rank and salary growth. Only when women begin their post-MBA career at mid-management or above do they achieve parity in position with men. However, this accounts for only 10 percent of the women and 19 percent of the men surveyed.
" 'Give it time,' has run its course," said Ilene H. Lang, President & Chief Executive Officer, Catalyst. "In a world where women comprise 40 percent of the global workforce and are earning advanced and professional degrees in record numbers—even surpassing men in many cases—gender inequity is a waste. Companies without parity for women at all levels are unsustainable. Smart leaders will act now or risk falling behind."
Men, the report showed, were twice as likely as women to hold CEO or senior executive positions and less likely to be at lower levels, where women were overrepresented. Parenthood and level of aspiration did not explain the results. The findings held when considering women and men without children as well as those who aspired to senior leadership positions. Men, in general, were also found to be more satisfied with their careers overall than women. Thus, despite well—intentioned programs, companies around the globe have neglected to develop talented women and failed to build meritocracies.
CEOs and executives from major companies offered insights and suggestions on the study's findings throughout the report. Some of these include:
- Don't assume that the playing field has been leveled.
- Redesign systems to correct early inequities.
- Collect and review salary growth metrics.
- Build in checks and balances against unconscious bias.
- Make assignments based on qualifications, not presumptions.
Sponsors of Pipeline's Broken Promise include American Express Company at the President's Circle level; Barclays Capital at the Executive Circle level; and at the Mentor Circle level Chevron Corporation, Credit Suisse Group, General Motors Company, The Procter & Gamble Company, and Scotiabank.

This research is part of The Promise of Future Leadership: A Research Program on Highly Talented Employees in the Pipeline, a longitudinal study on high potential talent. Between Fall 2007 and Spring 2008, Catalyst conducted an online survey of alumni who graduated between 1996 and 2007 from MBA programs at 26 leading business schools in Asia, Canada, Europe, and the United States. Report findings draw from the 4,143 respondents who completed full-time MBA programs and worked full-time in companies or firms at the time of the survey.
Founded in 1962, Catalyst is the leading nonprofit membership organization working globally with businesses and the professions to build inclusive workplaces and expand opportunities for women and business. With offices in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and more than 400 preeminent corporations as members, Catalyst is the trusted resource for research, information, and advice about women at work. Catalyst annually honors exemplary organizational initiatives that promote women's advancement with the Catalyst Award.

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry is traveling to Turkey and Israel this weekend to build on the two nations' efforts to repair ties, U.S. and Turkish officials said Wednesday.
Kerry had planned to depart next week for meetings in London and then South Korea, China and Japan. But he moved up his departure to Saturday to build on the rapprochement that President Barack Obama brokered between Turkey and Israel during his visit to the region two weeks ago, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the trip had not been announced.
Kerry will also discuss regional concerns, including Syria and the Mideast peace process.
Turkey and Israel were once strong allies, but relations have been badly strained since Israel's 2010 raid on a Turkish flotilla bound for Gaza that left eight Turks and one Turkish-American dead.
Last month, Obama helped broker a call from Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in which Netanyahu apologized for the botched raid.
Turkey had demanded an apology as a condition for restoring ties. Netanyahu had until then refused to apologize, saying Israeli soldiers acted in self-defense after being attacked by activists.
Israeli media reports suggested that Kerry would be pressing Israel to make a goodwill gesture, perhaps the release of a small number of Palestinian prisoners, that could lead to a restart of peace talks with the Palestinians. They quoted an anonymous Israeli official, who declined to say whether Israel is planning a firm offer. But the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the U.S. had not announced Kerry's trip, said Israel remains ready for "reciprocal and mutual confidence-building measures that can bolster the process."

Warning that "the window to change course is closing," Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday threatened new sanctions against Russia for failing to uphold its end of an agreement to ease the crisis in Ukraine.
"Russia has put its faith in distraction, deception and destabilization," Kerry said in an unscheduled appearance at the State Department. He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin's government hasn't taken "a single step in the right direction."
Kerry stopped short of announcing new sanctions, but he certainly laid out the case for them, adopting a harsh tone as he compared the Ukrainians' compliance with the Russians' noncompliance. The agreement from negotiations last week in Geneva called for all sides to refrain from violence, surrender occupied buildings and give amnesty to protesters, among other steps.
Kerry praised the interim Ukrainian leadership for taking action from Day 1, with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk halting a counterterrorism operation against pro-Russia separatists in the east, vowing in a public address to uphold the agreement and dispatching senior officials to help a European monitoring mission that's tasked with supervising and implementing the deal.
By contrast, Kerry said, the Russians have continued to obfuscate about their role in eastern Ukraine and are making "absurd" anti-Western claims to detract from their own activities. Kerry said U.S. intelligence officials told him Russia was "playing an active role in destabilizing eastern Ukraine" with personnel, money and weapons.
Kerry said the Russians have turned their distortion of events in Ukraine into a nearly full-time project, with Kremlin organs such as the Russia Today network acting as a "propaganda bullhorn" to promote Putin's "fantasy."
Kerry said Russia's efforts amount to a "full-throated" attempt to sabotage Ukraine's fragile democratic process by undermining the Geneva agreement.
"One week later it is clear that only one side – one country – is keeping its word," Kerry said.
He warned that the United States was ready to impose new sanctions, saying that if Russia continued on its current course, that would be "an expensive mistake."

PetAlive Heart and Circulation Tonic is a homeopathic remedy that improves the heart and circulatory systems, including healthy circulation and strong blood vessels. Heart and Circulation Tonic is a safe, non-addictive, FDA registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to improve and support the strength of veins, arteries, and the heart.
The animal heart
Your pet's body is a network of veins, arteries and capillaries – all interconnected, and all trying to complete the vital task of carrying blood to every organ. Good circulation means getting oxygen-rich blood to even the farthest tips of the body, from paws to tail!
Circulation moves blood along, enabling it to carry nutrients (food) and oxygen to all the cells of the body. Blood also carries away waste products so that they can be removed from the body. In order to support systemic health, it is therefore vital to maintain adequate circulatory functioning in the animal body.
The natural way
The heart is the most important muscle in the body, and pumps blood throughout the system, keeping all parts of the body supplied with oxygen and nutrients, while removing waste. A healthy heart and strong, clear blood vessels will keep your pet's energy levels up and promote overall wellness and vitality – as well as protection from disease.
Heart health depends on a variety of factors. A holistic approach incorporating a healthy lifestyle, natural remedies, and regular moderate exercise can greatly support heart as well as systemic health. Natural remedies have a long history of successful use in supporting the heart and circulatory system – with animals in the wild instinctively choosing heart-friendly herbs to eat. Now you can give your domestic pets the same benefits with natural remedies especially formulated for heart health.
Homeopathic Ingredients
Heart and Circulation Tonic comes in convenient, dissolvable granule form. Safe and easy to administer, these pleasant tasting granules are simply sprinkled on your pet's tongue and rapidly absorbed in the mouth – making them easy to administer. Due to the unique manufacturing formulation, Heart and Circulation Tonic may be safely used on its own or along with prescription medications.
All Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in an FDA and GMP registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
All products are free of gluten, artificial flavors, colorants and preservatives, and are suitable for use by lacto vegetarians. In accordance with our Do No Harm policy, no animal testing is carried out whatsoever.
Available in 20 grams. One bottle will last for 15 - 30 days, depending on the size and needs of your pet.
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Native Remedies
Shipping Weight: 0.12
Active Ingredients - Arnica 3X HPUS, Calc fluor 6C HPUS, Kali phos 6C HPUS, Lachesis 30C HPUS
Inactive Ingredients - Citric acid, corn starch, potassium sorbate, sucrose
Suggested Use
How long until I see results?Because Heart and Circulation Tonic is 100% homeopathic, it supports the animal body on a cellular level – getting to work upon the first dose to support the cardiovascular system and promote energy. While some animals need only a single dose, others may require additional doses, depending on factors such as the age and size of the animal. Response times vary from animal to animal, based on physiological composition and other circumstances. While some animals begin to show an almost immediate improvement that increases over time, others will see results after 3-5 days.
Safe for animals of all ages, pregnant animals or animals that are nursing. Please discuss the options with your holistic vet if your pet is also taking chronic heart medication. Medication should not be stopped suddenly except under medical supervision. If you are unsure of a diagnosis, please consult your vet before beginning home treatment. Heart and Circulation Tonic can safely be used along with prescription medications. No adverse interactions have been noted between the ingredients in Heart and Circulation Tonic and prescription medications. However, as with any medicine, it is always advisable to consult your vet.

An Agricultural Research Service scientist has developed farm equipment that installs drip tapes on or just beneath the soil surface to precisely irrigate crops after seeds are planted. The same equipment can retrieve the drip tapes after crops are harvested. The apparatus works with reusable or disposable drip tape.
The new equipment was designed by Heping Zhu, an agricultural engineer at the ARS National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga. The device uniformly distributes drip tape, extracts water from it, holds and supports the tape, and guides and adjusts its installation. The machinery chisels shallow trenches in the soil, places the tape in the trenches and then covers the tape with soil. Depth of drip tapes can be adjusted from 0 to 5 centimeters.
To retrieve disposable drip tapes, a special spool, mounted with a 3-point hitch behind the tractor, was developed to quickly remove the tapes from the unit. The inexpensive apparatus both installs and retrieves the tape.
During removal, Zhu's device layers the drip tape evenly across rotating spools, which squeeze out any remaining water. Retrieval speed can be adjusted by changing the tractor power takeoff speed. The drip tapes can then be reused during subsequent growing seasons.
In many crop production schemes, drip irrigation has advantages over other methods. It has been widely used in various applications throughout the world, resulting in crop yield increases and improved water conservation.
But surface drip irrigation's disadvantage is that users have to install and retrieve drip tapes every year, requiring high labor costs and more time. So the new equipment should greatly benefit farmers using surface drip irrigation technology by increasing their crop yield and reducing their production costs. ARS is seeking a partner to further develop and commercialize the device.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday said no one has provided any evidence so far to indicate that classified information was disclosed as a result of the sex scandal that cost retired General David Petraeus his job as head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Obama, speaking in his first formal press conference in eight months and his first since being re-elected last week, also said he is not supposed to meddle in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe of the Petraeus matter, and he will not prejudge the investigation's results.
"General Petraeus had an extraordinary career," Obama said, but by Petraeus' own assessment, the former top commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan no longer met the standards to keep running the CIA.

The first trailer for the upcoming "Lego The Hobbit" video game is out, revealing a comedic take on Middle-earth and its small-statured denizens.
The game, which was announced in November, will be based on the first two films in Peter Jackson's planned "Hobbit" trilogy — "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and the recently released "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug."
Like TT Games' previous Middle-earth-themed installation "Lego The Lord of the Rings," gameplay in "The Hobbit" will focus on solving puzzles, finding treasure and battling dark forces, including orcs, trolls and goblins.
PHOTOS: 60 images from 'Desolation of Smaug'
Gamers will be able to play as Bilbo (portrayed in the films by Martin Freeman), Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) and all 13 dwarfs in the company. The trailer also features scenes with the cave-dwelling Gollum, hungry trolls, mischievous goblins and even Azog, the pale orc who hunts Bilbo and his companions throughout their journey. Elves Tauriel and Legolas also make an appearance, wielding their bows and arrows, as well as wizard Radagast, with his rabbit-pulled sled.
The game features Lego versions of key locations from the films, including Bag End, Bilbo's Hobbit hole; the Misty Mountains; Mirkwood; Rivendell and more.
"Lego The Hobbit" will be available in 2014 on major consoles as well as PC and Mac.
Meanwhile, "The Desolation of Smaug" raked in a studio-estimated $73.7 million during its opening weekend. The third and final film in the trilogy, 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again," is slated for a December 2014 release.

Through its admission process, Tulane Law School looks for students who demonstrate the potential to succeed as law students and as lawyers, and who will contribute in significant ways to the Tulane educational community and to the legal community at large.
The admission process at Tulane Law School depends on a full review of each application. For applicants to the JD program, this means that in addition to looking closely at the standard predictors of success in law school – the LSAT score and undergraduate academic record – Tulane gives significant weight to each candidate's personal statement, letters of recommendation and previous accomplishments. Similarly, for applicants to the LLM and SJD programs, this means that the law school record is very important, along with each applicant's personal statement and letters of recommendation written on the applicant's behalf and, for international candidates, evidence of facility with the English language.
While the admission and financial aid processes are separate, they do proceed in parallel. For that reason, applicants should not wait for an admission decision before applying for financial aid, but should begin both processes at the same time.
Application MaterialsApplications for the JD, LLM, and SJD programs may be accessed and submitted on-line, through the electronic application service of the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), www.lsac.org. Hard copy application materials in pdf format can be provided upon request; please e-mail email@example.com or call 504.865.5930.
More details about the application process for the JD, LLM and SJD programs can be found at the appropriate links on the right side of this page.
Qualifications For Admissions to the Bar/Character & FitnessIn addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
Recruiting EventsRepresentatives of the Tulane Law School Admission Office attend recruiting events throughout the United States and, for LLM candidates, abroad. See the Recruiting Events section on the lower right side of this page.
Partnerships With Teach for America and Teach for ChinaTulane Law School is pleased to partner with Teach for America and Teach for China in the following ways:
(1) Waiver of Application Fee for Current Corps Members - The Law School will grant a waiver of the application fee to any current corps member of Teach for America or Teach for China. Corps members should contact the Office of Admission at firstname.lastname@example.com and provide proof of status with Teach for America or Teach for China. The Office of Admission will provide a fee waiver code that can be used when applying on-line.
(2) Two-Year Deferral - Upon request from new Teach for America or Teach for China corps members, the Law School will offer a two-year deferral to enable admitted students to begin a two-year commitment to Teach for America or Teach for China in the year in which law study was to have commenced. The Law School will also grant a two-year deferral to exiting corps members who wish to pursue other endeavors before attending law school, provided they apply for the deferral while they are still corps members.
(3) Scholarship - Tulane Law School will award a scholarship to each Teach for America or Teach for China alumnus accepted into the Law School. One sixth of the award will be credited to the student's tuition bill at the beginning of each of the six semesters of enrollment at Tulane Law School, so long as the student remains in good standing. As is the case for all applicants to Tulane Law School, Teach for America and Teach for China alumni will receive full consideration for all other merit-based scholarships available.

Decorating Fun with Mirrors!
Feb 25, 2013 3:34:08 PM
You probably already know that mirrors not only create light in a room, they can make a space appear much larger and full of energy too. However, you may not know that there are a lot of creative things that you can do with mirrors, other than just hanging one on your wall!
Cover a Table
Yes, this may seem like a bit more work than what you're looking to invest but the result is dramatic! You can buy self-adhesive mirrored tiles that are less expensive than you might think. Paint that old table you have stuffed in your garage a color that will match your decor and then apply the mirrors to the top. If they don't fit perfectly, just be sure to measure so you leave the same amount of room all the way around as a border. It's easiest to start with the middle row in this case and work outward.
Wall Art
You can hang mirrored panels in any pattern you choose across a wall. You could create just a small abstract piece on that short wall in your entry way or spread them out across an entire wall in your living room. If you're feeling really creative you can paint a design on some of them or stencil on just a bit of detail.
Create Planters
There are very inexpensive, unattractive, rectangular planters available that you would normally paint but instead of painting them, you will add mirrored tiles to them. Once again, feel free to add a bit of paint to the mirrors for a splash of color.
Just because it is ideal to have mirrors throughout your home doesn't mean you have to give up prime wall real estate just to hang them!

Basque brand Exteondo know a thing or two about creating jerseys thanks to sponsoring the likes of pro teams KAS, Banesto and ONCE over the years plus providing the classification jerseys for the Tour of the Basque country. Their range is a mixture of mid to top end kit utilizing fabrics designed in house.
The Gizon jersey is aimed at riders looking for a well cut lightweight jersey without the body hugging style of a full race jersey. The fit is still close though making it perfect for sportives, club runs and any other spirited rides where you don't want fabric flapping around in the wind.
The material is Exteondo's Superdry, a lightweight fabric that is actually quite see through when you hold it up to the light. Don't panic, when its on, your modesty is kept intact. Its very soft against the skin to and even the elasticated arms and waist is unrestrictive while keeping the jersey in position. The collar sits reasonably high and the snug fit stops any drafts blowing down your neck.
In use the Gizon dries quickly and is good at transferring heat away from your body which is obviously a bonus for a summer jersey. Other attributes are a full zip and three deep pockets at the rear which comfortably hold plenty of kit. I loaded them up with inner tube, tyre levers, CO2 inflator and canister, phone, keys, multitool and my Bryton 50 with no feeling of the jersey sagging or bouncing about as you ride.
In terms of quality and performance the Spanish made garment is top notch. The stitching and finishing touches are neat and tidy and I can't see longevity being an issue. The Gizon has been through the washing machine a fair few times and there are no signs of bobbling or colour fade.
As is the fashion at the moment the Gizon follows the retro style of minimal colours rather than garish logos. The black/red option we've got here looks classy but if you fancy something a little bit brighter there is also a white/black, red/black or a blue/white version available if you've got a theme going on.
Price wise £70 isn't stupid money for a good quality jersey and the Gizon is definitely worth it with regards to the finish and performance. No need to go up or down a size either, if you usually wear a medium a medium will fit.
Overall the Gizon jersey feels good quality with a good fit and styling to match. The performance is pretty spot on for a 70 quid jersey and while the material may be thin and breathable pair it with a baselayer and its easily useable three seasons out of the four. The ability of the pockets to hold their shape even when fully loaded is a great is impressive especially if you are out for the day and need to carry plenty of energy boosters. This is no Sunday best piece of kit either as you can wear it day in, day out without fear of it losing shape or falling to bits.
Good quality, decent fitting jersey that'll stand up to daily wear and tear

Stu knocked out his first road.cc review back in 2009 and since then he's chucked the best part of seventy test bikes around the West Country, a couple of them quite literally! With three alloy and two steel bikes in his fleet he's definitely a metal man (that'll be the engineering background) but is slowly warming to that modern carbon fibre stuff along with fat tyres & disc brakes.
It's not all nostalgia though, after spending the last few years in product design Stu keeps banging on about how 3D printing is going to be the next big thing and he's a sucker for a beautiful paint job too.

Jennifer Lawrence Is a Hero to Fainting Woman
Taking a page from Ryan Gosling's book, Jennifer Lawrence is now also playing the part of Good Samaritan. It's been reported that a woman collapsed outside the 'Hunger Games' star's home. As if being an Oscar-nominee isn't enough she's got to be a good person as well? Wow, now we love her even more!
It was a beautiful day in Santa Monica, California, when Jennifer Lawrence was standing outside of her apartment complex walking her dog. A woman was walking past Katniss'--we mean Jennifer's--apartment building and simply collapsed. Thankfully, Jennifer and a male bystander rushed to the woman's aid, trying to wake her up before calling the paramedics.
Police responded to the call in a group of six accompanied by a paramedic, who was ultimately given the a-okay by the staff. The only reason we can imagine that six of them went out is because they all wanted a glimpse at Katniss Everdeen.
Perhaps the woman caught a glimpse of Jennifer's beautiful face and just got weak in the knees. Who knows?
Oh, and also, while walking the dog it got tangled up in it's own leash and, perhaps still feeling the high of a life saver, Jennifer untangled the pooch. You can see the photos over on X17.

Staff counselor wins Ignatian Award
Loyola press release - April 2, 2012
Brooks Zitzmann, staff counselor at the University Counseling Center in the Office of Student Affairs, was awarded the Ignatian Medal for Outstanding New Professional in Jesuit Student Affairs. The award, given at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators conference earlier this month, is conferred on individuals who have distinguished themselves in the early years of their careers, with three years or less service in Jesuit student affairs work. Established in spring 1997, the award is given annually.
"Whether coordinating Loyola's annual Take Back the Night event, meeting with students struggling with mental health issues, researching the resilience of a New Orleans-based Vietnamese community in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina or attending an Ignatian silent retreat, she embodies our mission in both words and action," said M.L. "Cissy" Petty, Ph.D., vice president for student affairs and associate provost.
Of particular note is Zitzmann's cutting edge work on Loyola's ADVOCACY Initiative. The AI program serves as a resource for victims of sexual assault and reaches out to train Loyola students, staff and faculty for emotional support, referral information and options for reporting. Thanks to her effort, students, staff and faculty work collaboratively and collectively toward a common vision rooted in the Jesuit ideals of dignity, wholeness and compassion.
For more information about Loyola's ADVOCACY Initiative, please visit http://studentaffairs.loyno.edu/counseling/sexual-assault-victims-advocate-list-1st-responders-5 or contact Zitzmann at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Made of 316 Hardened Stainless Steel - No Rust!. Cut corals or rock with very little effort. We've found these to be better than using diagonal wire cutters. Ribbed rubber handle for easy grip and safety lock. Be sure to rinse with fresh water after using!
HD Model is good for cutting acros or finger forming stony corals.
Precision model is good for getting into crack & crevices to break rocks. Pry mushrooms or zoos right off the rock with ease!
If you do a lot of fraagging, you will find it very useful to have both clippers.

Exfoliating daily (as well as using a mask) may be too harsh for some skin types; I think two to three times a week is enough.

I love doing masks. They make my skin feel so soft. But I am going to stick to hot showers :)

Good tips. My rosacea subsided greatly when I switched from washing with bar soap (even though it was Dove sensitive skin unscented) to Cetaphil lotion, and began using a moisturizer made for sensitive skin. I exfoliate daily with a wash cloth (which helps give me a healthy glow) but I'm afraid a brush would be too much for my sensitive skin.

Great tips.

Exfoliating the face so much (especially with brushes and every day). In winter skin is too sensitive and dry for that.

Actually My Name's Marina
"What the audience demands of the artist - really demands, in its unconscious desire - and what the artist thinks it ought to be given... [is] the same thing: the sentiment of being. The sentiment of being is the sentiment of being strong... such energy as contrives that the centre shall hold, that the circumference of the self keep unbroken, that the person be an integer, impenetrable, perdurable, and autonomous in being if inot in action."

Once upon a time
"Music was now an object that could be owned by the individual and used at his own convenience... Now the Symphony of a Thousand could play to an audience of one. Now a man could hear nocturnes at breakfast, vespers at noon, and the Easter Oratorio on Channukah. He could do his morning crossword to 'One O'Clock Jump', and make love right through the St Matthew Passion. Anything was possible; nothing was sacred; freedom was absolute. It was the freedom, once the cathedral of culture had been wrecked, to take home the bits you liked and arrange them as you please. Once again, a mechanical invention had met capitalism's need to recreate all of life in its image. The cathedral

Tomorrow's Harvest
"What if I tell you now that I have often longed even for plays I have seen performed - frequently the very ones which bored me most - or for books I have read in the past and did not like at all? If that is not madness, there's no such thing."
Hold to the Difficult
"And you must not let yourself be misled, in your solitude, by the fact that there is something in you that wants to escape from it. This very wish will, if you use it quietly and pre-eminently and like a tool, help to spread your solitude over wide country. People have (with the help of convention) found the solution of everything in ease, and the easiest side of ease; but it is clear that we must hold to the difficult; everything living holds to it, everything in nature grows and defends itself according to its own character and is an individual in its own right, strives to be so at any cost and against all opposition.

Always music in the air
'Acousmatic, the Larousse dictionary tells us, is the 'name given to the disciples of Pythagoras who for five years, listened to his teachings while he was hidden behind a curtain, without seeing him, while observing a strict silence.' Hidden from their eyes, only the voice of their master reached the disciples.... In ancient times, the apparatus was a curtain; today, it is the radio and methods of reproduction, along with the entire set of electro-acoustic transformations, that place us, modern listeners to an invisible voice, under similar conditions.'Pierre Schaeffer, 'Acousmatics', 1966

'Imagine a traveller from a hundred years ago arrives at our doorstep and asks us why the music of the 20th century operates so frequently on the basis of cyclic repetition.

The Eagles finally jumped into the linebacker market, and they did it in a big way and, as we probably should have expected, with a surprise.
At first blush, the DeMeco Ryans trade has a lot to like. A lot. He was a Pro Bowler in 2007 and 2009 and AP defensive rookie of the year in 2006. Playing as a true middle linebacker in the 4-3 early in his career, he recorded more than 100 tackles each season. Equally importantly, according to reporters in Houston he was a leader who ran the defense from the middle, something the Eagles sorely lacked last season. Jamar Chaney gave it a go as the commander in the huddle, but when trying to organize stars like Trent Cole, Jason Babin and Asante Samuel, he doesn't have the same kind of credentials as a former Pro Bowler. In the photo running right now on Philly.com, you can see the stars on Ryans' captain's patch. He has been a leader and should be expected to take over the defense, at least verbally, when he arrives in Philadelphia.
Ryans is only 27 and he's accomplished much, more than any of the free agent linebackers available on the market. Getting a player of his pedigree to fill your biggest need, for essentially a fourth round pick, sounds like a steal, and it might be.
But then there's that price tag. NFL teams usually find ways to hang on to their key players (see: Lions and Stephen Tulloch, Eagles and DeSean Jackson) and Ryans was available for the same price that the Eagles used to get Casey Matthews last season. What gives?
For one, Ryans played a diminished role in the Texans' 3-4 scheme last season. He was on the field for just 58 percent of Houston's defensive snaps last year, according to ProFootballFocus, after playing for more than 99 percent of their snaps in 2008 and 2009. Considered a true 4-3 middle linebacker, at least according to respected Houston Chronicle beat writer John McClain, Ryans was supposedly wasted in the new system. He was also coming off of an Achilles tendon tear that ended his 2010 season after just six games. Whether it was the scheme change, diminished role, the fact that he was coming off an injury or a combination of all those factors, he had a down year and made just 64 combined stops, though McClain wrote on Twitter than Ryans improved as the season went on.
Back in a 4-3, with another year to heal, it's obvious the Eagles hope he regains his old form. But this is where you have to urge at least a little caution. It's one thing to take a high-performance player and move him to a new team and assume he will continue being a difference-maker. It's another thing to take a player who had a down year and assume that a few changes will get him back on track. It might be true, but the last season has to at least give you a moment's pause. There's a leap of faith with every transaction, but there's more of one when you're expecting someone to change course rather than continue on their previous trajectory.
Still, the Eagles have little to lose here and much to gain. A fourth round pick and slight change in the third is very little to pay for a guy who has the potential to fix the most glaring hole on the roster, and who arrives with far more credentials than, say, Ernie Sims did two years ago.
That said, if Ryans doesn't fix the Eagles' linebacker woes, it won't matter that the Eagles didn't give up much, because they still won't have their defense repaired. What we learned last summer is that big, recognizable names don't always make the difference we first think they will. When a team is ready to let a player go, there are almost always reasons to ask questions.
But considering the Eagles' need, considering the price they paid and the potential upside, it's a deal the team was wise to make. They had to find an upgrade at linebacker. Had to. Throw in Chaney's offseason neck surgery, and that need became even bigger. Sitting here in March, before Ryans has even looked at a playbook, it sounds like a strong move.
The proof, we should know by now, comes in September and October.

New tracking software developed by Kevin Gurney, an ecologist at Arizona State University is intended to help cities across the country keep their word on climate. Many mayors have pledged to reduce their carbon footprint, but they have no objective way to measure progress. The software will allow them to identify and target areas of the city that are releasing the most carbon, in order to address the real problem areas.
The idea of a personal carbon footprint is not new, but software that can follow our dirty tailpipes down the street is certainly revolutionary. Could the uncomfortable feeling of being watched be the encouragement city residents need to change their habits?
"Gurney collects piles of information about a city's energy diet — from utilities, transportation departments and air-pollution monitors. When he analyzed Indianapolis, Gurney and colleagues from Purdue University and other institutions could pinpoint emissions down to the level of a building or a street."

TD Bank robber makes getaway on a bike in Manchester
January 08. 2013 4:23PM
MANCHESTER - Police are searching for the man who robbed TD Bank at S. Main Street Tuesday afternoon, the third time the bank was robbed since Dec. 1.
Investigators think the same man could be responsible for all three robberies, given his description and attire - a hooded sweatshirt with a white bandanna covering his face.
Yesterday's robbery happened about 3 p.m. at the 293 S. Main St. bank.The man entered the bank, demanded money from the teller and then fled out the door, making his escape on a BMX style bicycle or mountain bike.
He is described as a white man in his early to mid 20s, average height and a lean build. He had short, brown hair and wore a blue jacket with a blue hood, with a small white logo over the left breast area. The logo may have contained the word "party" in it.
He also wore dark gloves, trim jeans and a light-colored pair of running shoes.
Late in the afternoon on Dec. 17, the same bank was robbed by a man wearing a green Tommy Hilfiger hoodie. He walked into the bank, demanded money from the teller and then fled with the cash. He is described as a white man with a short to average build wearing gray pants and gray sneakers.
The first robbery took place at 5:20 p.m. on Dec. 1. As in the other two robberies, the man walked into the bank, demanded money from a teller and then fled out the door with the cash.
He was wearing a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
Anyone with information about any of the robberies is asked to call police at 668-8711. To remain anonymous, call Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

An honest take on a tough land
In his debut novel, Ordinary
Wolves, Seth Kantner has woven a world where hunger,
death and beauty go hand-in-hand. The book is set almost entirely
on Kantner's native Alaskan tundra, but don't expect
naturalist hyperbole. There are no splendid sweeping landscapes,
big animals are either food or a threat, and cold is a given.
Consider an early description of the Arctic night, narrated by his semi-autobiographical hero, Cutuk Hawcly: "The walls of blackness grew and leaned close over my head and joined. An icy east breeze thinned the smoke. The night cold was a monster now, merciless, pinching my face with pliers, sneaking fingers under my parka."
But Cutuk knows no other world. His taciturn artist father whisked his family away from the "everything-wanters" of his native Chicago further back than Cutuk's memory reaches. In Alaska, they've carved out a spartan life in an igloo, a day from the nearest village.
As the story crunches through the realities of remote northern life — tips on skinning and cooking northern wildlife abound — Cutuk falls victim to teen angst. Clad in traditional mukluk boots, he's desperately unhip compared to the local Eskimo teens, who eat canned soup and wear jeans.
He makes social inroads, joining in beer-soaked Lysol-huffing parties and scoring his first wolf kill. But it leaves him empty inside, perhaps because his coming of age is paralleled by the unrelenting creep of industrial society into his icy home. "Snowgos" overtake sled dogs, and his friends and siblings heed the call of the city, drifting south to Anchorage. Cutuk joins them, but is soon dreaming of home, where the snow is never black with soot.
Cutuk's lost innocence carries the book forward, but the strength of Kantner's novel is his unvarnished take on life and the people of a tough land. This is an authentic tale from one of the last wild and irony-free American places, where wolf-hunters and environmentalists not only get along, but often share the same skin.

Krabbe disease is a rare genetic disorder of the nervous system. It is a type of leukodystrophy.
Globoid cell leukodystrophy; Galactosylcerebrosidase deficiency; Galactosylceramidase deficiency
A defect in the GALC gene causes Krabbe disease. Persons with this gene defect do not make enough of a substance called galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase (galactosylceramidase).
The body needs this substance to make myelin, the material that surrounds and protects nerve fibers. Without it, myelin breaks down, brain cells die, and nerves in the brain and other body areas do not work properly.
Krabbe disease can develop at various ages:
Krabbe disease is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. If both parents carry the defective gene related to this condition, each of their children has a 25% chance of developing the disease. (See: Autosomal recessive pattern)
This condition is very rare. It is most common among people of Scandinavian descent.
Early-onset Krabbe disease:
Late-onset Krabbe disease:
Vision problems may appear first, followed by walking difficulties and rigid muscles. Symptoms vary from person to person. Other symptoms may occur.
An exam of the retina in the eye may show damage to the optic nerve. There may be signs or deafness and abnormal posturing in the late stages of the disorder.
Tests that may be done include:
There is no specific treatment for Krabbe disease.
Some people have had a bone marrow transplant in the early stages of the disease, but this treatment has risks.
United Leukodystrophy Foundation -- www.ulf.org
The outcome is likely to be poor. On average, infants with early-onset cases die before age 2. People who develop the disease at a later age have survived into adulthood with nervous system disease.
This disease damages the central nervous system. It can cause:
The disease is usually life-threatening.
Call your health care provider if your child develops symptoms of this disorder. Seizures, loss of consciousness, or abnormal posturing may be emergency symptoms.
Genetic counseling is recommended for persons with a family history of Krabbe disease who are considering having children.
A blood test can be done to see if you carry the gene for Krabbe disease.
Prenatal tests (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling) can be done to screen a developing baby for this condition.

Basketball rules - Read More
The team that controls the boards wins the majority of their games! Control of the boards reduces the number of shots taken by the opponents and increases the number of shot attempts by the good rebounding team. It also increases the number of fast break opportunities.
Though a great deal of rebounding is dependent on the size of a team, size alone does not result in backboard control. If you work diligently in practice, techniques will be developed that will lead to successful rebounding on both the offensive and defensive boards.Read More

Hey Narnia fans: Voyage is on its way
If you are a Narnia nut, as I am, you're probably looking forward to the Christmas release of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. The trailer for it is out today (see below), featuring two of the Pevensies (Lucy and Edmund) along with a boy that must be Eustace Scrubb, who looks less pinched than I imagined him.
I have mixed feelings about these movie adaptations of the Chronicles of Narnia. For all its visual glory, film has a way of flattening any story first told in prose. I've found in general that the Walden-produced movies have tended toward both the literal and the violent. Lewis was a master of metaphor, and I'm afraid the screenwriters ended up clunky in their adaptations--especially when adding elements that didn't exist in the books. I've read each of the seven Chronicles at least 10 times each, and I find something new every time. Can't say the same for the movies, which seem intent on imposing their own Veggie-tale style "moral" lesson on the stories.
But the arc of Voyage is more introspective than the more good-vs-evil approach of the first two, and the book is more a metaphor for the spiritual journey rather than an adventure. That may be hard to translate to the screen--but I'll probably go find out how it turns out anyway.
Plus, it's in 3D. The spiritual journey in 3D... If only C.S. Lewis were still around.

I have a windows 2000 professional on a client system in a small network. Recently I ran adaware and windows washer on the system. Immediately after that some message popped up which said something like this "services shutting down, windows will shut down in 60 seconds".I don't remember exactly,but it was similar to what I mentioned.
Since then my internet stopped working.I checked everything,everything including the ip configurations and all the settings seem to be intact. But the internet page expires.I tried the " tracert" and found that it works, I am able to ping. One thing I found interesting was, the ip routing enabled shows yes in the ipconfig /all. But when I checked it in the registry,I found that it was disabled.Is it something to do with that.If so, how do I fix it. Even Netscape doesn't work.Not even messenger.I am able to ping an external ip.All other systems on the network are working fine.
Can somebody help me?

American Professor starts "Coffee Party" movement
Ok, he hasn't actually started a "Coffee Party" movement, but he has written a blog post.
In his hypothetical half-serious 10-point manifesto, the excellent Bill Easterly proposes a tolerant, liberal agenda.
Among their policies and ideals, the Coffee Party…
- …"likes free trade"
- …recognises "tax-bloated government"
- …proposes "ending the War on Drugs"
- …"hates xenophobia towards immigrants", specifically when "aimed at particular trading partners, falsely blamed for our economic woes."
- …believes that "ALL 'are by nature equally free and independent,' and have 'inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,' men and women, blacks and whites, gays and straights, immigrants and natives, Christians and Muslims, citizens and foreigners, rich and poor."
Surely this is something the LDs should support and emulate. Or at least it would be if it actually existed.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Attorneys being forced to advise the U.S. soldier accused in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage were allowed to leave his trial on Friday so they could prepare an appeal arguing that the Army psychiatrist was angling for a death sentence.
Military lawyers ordered to help Maj. Nidal Hasan as he represents himself argue that he's using a "repugnant" defense strategy that violates their rules of professional conduct. When the judge refused to scale back their duties or let them take over Hasan's defense, they said they would seek the help of a higher court.
Hasan is accused of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others at the Texas military base, but he has largely remained silent during the trial. He questioned none of the 10 witnesses who testified Friday morning, after allowing two of his three standby lawyers to leave to prepare their appeal.
Only his lead standby lawyer remained in the courtroom as testimony resumed, with witnesses describing a chaotic, bloody scene inside a crowded building at the Army post on Nov. 5, 2009.
"I kind of sat there looking dumbfounded," said Capt. Brandy Mason, who recalled being shot but initially thinking it was only a sharp pain. "I didn't think it was real. We sat there and looked at (Hasan), like 'Really?' Then somebody started screaming, 'Training or not, get down! Get down!'"
Staff Sgt. Joy Clark said she checked for vital signs of soldiers lying dead near her. "I had thought about possibly throwing a chair at the shooter but witnessed someone else do that and get shot," Clark said.
Staff Sgt. 1st Class Paul Martin recalled bolting out a set of double doors and then running a zigzag pattern to make him a less easy target.
"I said he'll have to shoot me again, but I know I'm getting out of this building," Martin said.
Hasan declined to cross-examine the witnesses and mostly sat quietly, as he has done since his long-delayed trial began early this week.
How Hasan would defend himself was the biggest mystery heading into the trial that began under tight security at Fort Hood. The American-born Muslim wanted to argue that the killings were in "defense of others," namely members of the Taliban fighting Americans in Afghanistan. But the judge denied that strategy.
Then after only the first day, Hasan's standby lawyers accused him of plotting a defenseless strategy to assure a conviction. Hasan has called those accusations a "twist of the facts."
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, denied Hasan's lawyers permission Thursday to actively take over his case or further reduce their already minimized role. Hasan's lead standby attorney, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, spent most of a full day of testimony Thursday taking no notes with only a small Post-It pad in front of him.
On Friday, Poppe said their appeal to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals would fall under a "novel area of the law." Hasan said his attorneys could take more time off if needed.
Jeff Corn, a law professor at South Texas College of Law, has predicted such an appeal would likely be dismissed.
"The law is clear: If you are a standby attorney for a pro-se defendant and the defendant wants to make decisions tactically disastrous, that's his prerogative," Corn said Thursday.
More than 30 witnesses have already testified during the trial, many of them soldiers who identified Hasan as the gunman who relentlessly fired with laser-sighted handguns inside a building where soldiers were waiting for vaccinations and medical clearance for deployment.
The trial was expected to last several weeks, but military prosecutors may finish their case much quicker than expected since Hasan is not questioning witnesses.

Four hundred years ago, Samuel de Champlain—a governor in all but name— fulfilled several duties and responsibilities that would later be carried out by the governors of New France and, after Confederation, by the governors general of Canada.
Canada became a country at Confederation in 1867. Our system of government is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of Canada and Head of State. The Governor General is the representative of the Queen in Canada.
The responsibilities of the governor general have evolved over time, along with the evolution of Canada as a sovereign and independent nation. In 1947, letters patent signed by King George VI redefine the powers of the governor general. These letters patent "authorize and empower Our Governor General, with the advice of Our Privy Council for Canada or any members thereof or individually, as the case requires, to exercise all powers and authorities lawfully belonging to Us in respect of Canada". Since then, the governor general has daily and fully exercised the duties of the Head of State, not only in Canada, but also abroad. As per the letters patent, the governor general is also the commander-in-chief of Canada.
The governor general represents Canada during State visits abroad and receives Royal visitors, heads of State and foreign ambassadors at Rideau Hall and at the Citadelle of Québec.
The governor general presents honours and awards to recognize excellence, valour, bravery and exceptional achievements. The governor general is also the head of the Canadian Heraldic Authority.

Skip to comments.0bama: Beware of the Silent Majority
Posted on 10/06/2012 5:02:59 PM PDT by Diana in Wisconsin
Silent, they may bebut silent they shall not remain. They are ready to set things aright.
This is the unseen, uncounted, power the pollsters miss. It is the power of deep conviction that things are terribly wrong in America and they, the so-called Silent Majority, have a responsibility to the constitution, to the country, to their fellow Americans, and yes, to their families and themselves, to step up, to lean in, and to reclaim their birthrightbefore it is lost forever.
These quiet Americans have the fortitude and the determination of the all the ancient defenders of freedom. They knowand they understandthe stakes for America. Losing THIS fight it not an option.
(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
Nicely done! Picked me right up! In case anyone was wondering, THIS 'Proverbs 31 Woman' has her loins girded and she is ready for BATTLE!
Nailed it!
Sounds good but remember FDR got reelected until he died
We could strike again -- actually, in 1972 we were the Silenced Majority -- we did not have modern talk radio and the Internet..
Election 1972 did not work out as McGovern, the campus radicals (spoiled brats IMO), and the liberal media figured. (Darn.. look! Watergate!)
Different world. He controlled the media, and if the war had not come, might not have been elected the third time.
Fairly long article, and well worth the time.
Articles like this remind me of the true America, the country I love. Just what I needed.
——They are concerned and deeply, deeply, angry. ——
Yes we are....very very angry
I have a suspicion that 2012 will make 2010 look like a cakewalk....
For the libtards ....
Thanks for posting!
We don't yell, scream, chat for the cameras like the OWS fools. In 1994 and 2010, the silent majority was deeply disturbed after seeing 2 years of new leftist administrations and turned out in force to wreak destruction on the enemies of our great nation. I know that I know that this election will be the same.
Glad you liked it. Too bad it only got published in Canada, Eh?
I witness this all around me - and I live in one of the bluest of BLUE counties in our nation!
I work with a ton of idiot lefties - the bloom was off the rose for 0bama a very LONG time ago. They spent EIGHT YEARS complaining about President George Bush - once they had 0bama they shut up - but nary a PEEP about what a 'great' job he's been doing. *SMIRK*
Even Armchair Socialists in 'The People's Republik of Madistan' are getting it! He's harming THEM and they don't like it one bit!
Now, we'll be on to 4 or 8 more years of Republican control and they'll be happy b*tchin' about how MISERABLE they are as they drive to a JOB in their NEW CAR and have MONEY for GASOLINE and GROCERIES and new TATTOOS and PIERCINGS.
We live in 'Upside Down World', I tell ya!
I fear that given the state of public school education, in time, there will no longer be a silent majority, especially with the anti-American, marxist idealogues in control of the direction of public school education. No doubt that local and state governments need to seize full control of education, lest we lose all sense of history and perspective on what it truly means to be an American and upon the foundations of which America came.
In other words, beware of those who work for a living. We don't attend political rallies on Tuesday afternoons like 0bama goons because we're at work. We don't camp out on state legislature front lawns for months because we work. But we'll sure as hell get out and vote because we're sick of liberal and RINO deadbeats. It's time to do some major firing of govt. officials.
Diana, thank you for the link.
I find these sentences at the end quite powerful as a summation:
These quiet Americans have the fortitude and the determination of the all the ancient defenders of freedom. They knowand they understandthe stakes for America. Losing THIS fight it not an option.
Without America standing in the breech, the free world will fall as dominoesand the socialist/Marxist tyrants will truly rule the world.
These people who love their God, their families, their constitution, and their Americathese people who suffer so much scorn and derision from the elitist of the left WILL have their say.
These people are not to be trifled with. It was THEY who coined the phrase: We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.
And THESE are the people who have resolved to rescue their country from the practitioners of the philosophy of Lenin, Marx, and Engels NOW, before it is too late.
Excellent article!
I think this same sentiment was shown at many Chick-Fil-A's a while back. No grandstanding, no big announcements; just a whole lot of folks quietly & patiently waiting in line to show support & voice their opinion.
On a side note — DH and I went to Chick-Fil-A today to pick up a late lunch for the family. The place was absolutely packed! Long line going around the building for drive-thru' and three/four deep at the registers. None of the other fast-food places in the same area were even close to that busy. Felt real good :)
"I know that I know that this election will be the same."
Agreed. But cripes! What a MESS we have to clean up after four SHORT years! This d*ckhead has done SO much damage to our Republic...it's breathtaking! I've been a Political Junkie since I was 17. (That's 36 years for those of you playing at home, LOL!)
It happens time and time and time again! Republicans clean up the HORRIFIC messes that the Dems leave behind. We get so flippin' LAZY when times are good that the Dems strike, then we have 4 (or 8!) years of this Socialist Crapola to REVERSE...and we're STILL behind!
It's kinda p*ssin' me off...
And I'm pretty sure there's a HUGE Mideast Mess to clean up, not to mention that we'll most likely be attacked on our own shores again in the very near future.
Sorry to go on so long; I've pretty much HAD it at this point! Grrrrr!
"I have a suspicion that 2012 will make 2010 look like a cakewalk..."
I'm hoping it's a brutal bloodbath. And I hope we LEARN from this - but for some reason, I'm pretty sure we won't. ;)
Thanks, I needed that!
Thank you for posting that Diana ..... Shared with my friends and family as we had discussed just such a topic today....
Grateful for the read troop !
