Many people have their wedding day planned in their minds or in scrapbooks far in advance of the actual day. Although this can be an exciting time in your life, it can also be stressful if you don't have the latest and greatest tips.
Consider your different options to find the right type of alcohol for your wedding. Having an open bar can be very expensive if it stays open for hours. The venue representative will be able to advise you of the various alcohol service options available.
Prior to your big day, practice walking down the aisle. Be sure that this is done where the wedding will take place so the floor can be tested along with the footwear. This can help you feel more confident during your special day.
If you prefer to handle the refreshments and foods on your own, save money by shopping at wholesalers, such as Sam's Club and Costco. Shopping wholesale when it comes to food helps you get the necessary items at a much cheaper cost. You may want to ask your friends to chip in with buying food.
If you're doing your own catering, Costco is a place that can save you a lot on wedding food. You'll get better deals on large quantities of food if you shop wholesale. Think about asking people you know to assist with the food costs.
Select ethnic catering for a truly memorable event. Steak and chicken can get boring after a while. Make sure that your wedding feast is something that everyone will remember for years to come.
The photographs of your wedding will build your book of memories to look back on for years to come. In order to be able to document this magical occasion, hire a professional and spend extra if necessary.
You can rent jewelery and diamonds if you wish to look at your best but cannot afford to. This gives you that look you want but won't cost you a ton so that you can stay within your budget.
Have your wedding at a friend's home. If someone you know has a nice backyard or a large farm, this can save a lot of money. Offer to pay a person to do the clean-up before and after the wedding, which would be the only cost for you.
Prior to her wedding day, brides who have sensitive skin ought to have a skincare regimen that prevents acne, irritation, or break outs. Look for a bridal facial treatment that includes skin-soothing and brightening ingredients like rose, sea salts, oatmeal proteins, and creamy scrubs.
If you want your reception to stand out, go with ethnic themed catering! Choose a variety of dishes to add flair and flavor to your reception. Variety makes life exciting and will undoubtedly make your dinner unforgettable!
Your guests shouldn't wait while you are having pictures taken. Photos of the bride and her party and the groom and his groomsmen should be taken ahead of time. Pictures with the bride or groom and their respective parents can also be taken ahead of time, reducing the amount of time guests have to wait for your arrival at the reception.
Don't starve yourself to fit in your wedding dress! If you attempt to lose weight too quickly, you are going to be dehydrated, just like a fighter getting ready for a fight. The last thing you need is to pass out as the vows are being given. Instead, buy a dress with a corset back so you can take it in or out as necessary on the day of your vows.
You can easily have a member of your family or a friend get ordained online, making them an ideal candidate to officiate your ceremony. This makes the wedding a bit more personal, and also means you don't have to pay the fee for a justice of the peace. Before you do this, check with your city or town to make sure they recognize online ordinations.
The most critical factor to keep in mind when you are getting married is of course the person you are marrying! Never rush into this decision that will change your life. You have to consider why you want to live with this person and work on the things that could be obstacles in a marriage.
If you plan to serve your guests a meal with multiple courses, keep them entertained during the serving process by placing small dishes of appetizing sweets on each table. You can also offer crackers, but sweets that match the wedding colors are a great choice.
You can rent diamonds for your wedding if you desire to look great but have a tight budget. This can help you to look more stunning while not breaking the bank so you can stick to the budget you have created.
Decorate your wedding with items which represent your hobbies or passions, such as traveling the world. You can make invitations and save-the-date cards to resemble vintage postcard or boarding pass. Get a vintage suitcase and use it as a display for your pictures or programs.
Plan your transportation wisely. For people without a ride, be sure a taxi or limo can bring them to their destination after the reception. This is also a good idea for guests who have had too much to drink at the wedding.
If children will be playing a role in your wedding, you should dress them comfortably. Stick to soft fabrics that fit just loosely enough to not cause discomfort. New shoes need to be broken in so that they don't cause pain on the big day. This allows the kids time to focus on what they have to do instead of struggling with their outfits.
Your assistant just needs to be someone who is capable of keeping up with all your photographic gear and following along unobtrusively behind you. You can even have the assistant help you collect family members when it's time to take a group shot!
There is a possibility that the seasonal flowers from your own state are not available at your wedding destination. Speak with people who are in the area where your wedding is located to find out what blooms are available to you.
Your guests shouldn't have to hang around while your pictures are taken. The photos concerning the rest of the wedding party should be done in advance. Pictures with those being wed and their parents should also be taken beforehand if possible.
For receptions that don't include dinner, consider renting less traditional seating arrangements rather than tables and chairs. Luxury chaises, lounges and plush sectional seating can encourage your guests to interact with each other. Plush seating is also conductive to a relaxing time, and is comfortable for those with mobility issues. You can also use your furniture to customize your space.
If you conduct your wedding in a vacation spot, have a basketful of themed goodies delivered to each guest's room. Some useful items to include might be tourist information, sun hats, sunglasses, disposable cameras, maps of the area, sunscreen, and so on. You could also toss in a few suggestions for local eateries and cafes.
If you want to get married outdoors, make sure you have a backup plan. Have some tents on hand, or choose a venue that provides both indoor and outdoor space. Many tent companies also offer planking or other flooring choices for their tents to keep guests feet clean and dry.
Silk Flowers
Be considerate and think of your guests who need to travel when having a destination wedding. It may be that guests will already have vacations booked for the days, and they need lead time to accommodate your day. Sending out save the date cards or invitations, if possible, at least 8 months in advance, will allow for just about any arrangements your guests will need to make.
Many people opt for silk flowers instead of live flowers for their wedding. You can buy silk flowers well in advance to avoid the stress of getting fresh flowers a few days before the wedding.
When planning your wedding, decide if you would like any children to attend. This point is very important in regards to budget and stress should you allow children to attend. Then again, many people may not attend if they cannot find a babysitter.
If the wedding couple both like to travel they can use decorations that portray that interest. Save-the-date notices and invitations are available in styles that resemble passports, boarding passes or vintage postcards. On the date, a vintage suitcase can be used as a display piece. Simply fill it with favors, photos, or wedding programs and prop it open in a prominent location.
Try to plan some fun group activities that your guests can enjoy on your wedding day. Engage your guests so that they are not forced to kill time between events. Examples of activities could include a volleyball game, or a contest of who can get to know the most people prior to the wedding. This will make your wedding more memorable while letting others enjoy themselves by interacting with one another.
For instance, you may plan your menu around ultra-modern fusion cuisine, including popular dishes from both cultures. Add an unusual twist with ethnic fare and edible wedding favors.
Create your vows on your own. While it may be easier to copy from a different source remember that no one knows your future spouse better than you. Writing your vows adds a special memory to this special day. Use some inspiration from elsewhere, but write them from the heart.
Flowers that might be abundant in your home territory may not be widely available if you happen to be in the Cayman Islands or Greece. Ask for help from professionals who live and work in the region to find out what they recommend for your big day.
Be mindful of possible weather conditions. If an outdoor wedding takes place in excessive heat, guest might opt to leave early. Also, if the weather is cold at your party, they may want to leave. Always keep the comfort of the guests in mind, even though the wedding day is for the groom and bride.
If dinner isn't a part of your reception plans, formal tables shouldn't be either. Lounges, chaises, and even cushy sectional pieces can encourage greater interaction between guests. Plush seating can also make guests feel more comfortable and relaxed; this also allows you to create separate lounge areas throughout the site.
Asking your vendors to recommend other services you may need is a great idea. If you are seeking a great band, ask your wedding photographer. He or she is sure to have some good recommendations. Experienced photographers or others in the wedding business are likely to know great sources for flowers, bands, and other things you will need for your wedding. You will have better luck finding vendors this way.
When starting out with plans for your wedding, create a list of what you want in a prioritized order. Some people will have the venue as the most important item while others might list the guest list. Put the most important things for you at the top. By having a plan of what is most important to you, you can set aside funding for each item and ensure you get the wedding of your dreams.
As the bride, you're not going to want tan lines. It is very important since you may want to have a great tan for the wedding, but the tan lines can really cause distractions.
If you don't want to spend a small fortune on flower arrangements on the reception tables, have you considered a display of potted plants instead? You can embellish terracotta pots with colorful ribbons, paint or decoupage, or you may choose glazed stoneware. The guests are able to take the plants home with them, or the couple can take them home and plant them.
Open a special bank account just for your wedding costs. This strategy allows you to see exactly how much money you have available to spend on your wedding, so that you can limit your spending to what you can afford. If you aren't planning to get married, you can still save up for the big day, easing your stress when the time does come.
You don't have to feel overburdened with wedding planning, and in fact you should avoid this. Make good use of these tried and true tips to have a beautiful, stress-free wedding day. You may even enjoy planning the wedding.
The perfect gift for your bridesmaids is customizable jewelry. This way, each of your bridesmaids will have special memories of your wedding and how much fun they had being a part of this exciting experience.

For four nights in January, the high school's theater arts class brought beloved storybook characters to life in a very non-traditional way in their production of "Into the Woods." This memorable Broadway play, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, served as a remarkable showcase for the students' vocal talents.
During the course of the story, a baker and his wife, played by Emma Regina and John DelGenio, had to reverse a curse brought upon them by a wicked witch, played by Alexandra Morrissey and Nicole Poliandro. Cinderella (played by Morgiana McDevitt) garnered sympathy from the audience., while Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack and his mom, the royal princes, Cinderella's family, Snow White, the Narrator, Sleeping Beauty, the wolves, and Jack's cow Milky White brought the message "no one is alone" to fruition.
"The audience was in awe of the talent on stage and behind the curtain, knowing that this production was a result of the students' work as part of a class assignment," said Superintendent Susan Schnebel, who attended the performance. "As I sat in my seat, I could not help but marvel at the talent, dedication and passion the cast and crew displayed."

|RE: Tomcat problems every morning.
|Mon, 02 Jun 2003 02:32:47 GMT
My comment won't be that helpful - but I started out at the same place - each morning I came in a got a call from staff saying the pages with content pulled from the dbase was down. One thing I know, as others suggested, it has to do with the JDBC/connection - in our case it happens when the network connection between our linux box and our sql box os broken at some point - I think the ISP does late night maintenance on the line (this is setup on an office DSL line). We are still working to isolate the problem - but it does seem to be JDBC related. I have tried simply pulling the cable on the back of one box for a few seconds and the connection does die and will not reconnect. I plan to post back to the group when we get a better sense of the problem - we are still fooling with it. In our case we are using MSSQL with the MS JDBC driver. I thought I saw a post somewhere that said the mySQL driver had a autoReconnect=true setting - I think I saw it on the Apache site. I hope you figure things out.

Four days before they're scheduled to be deported from Canada, a Cameroon man has asked a Federal Court judge to block his family's deportation, claiming his wife and daughters would be subject to genital mutilation if they are forced to return home.
Cameroon family makes final plea in Montreal to avoid deportation
When Hilary Fuh-Cham came to Canada as a refugee claimant in 2007, he told immigration officials that he fled his native Cameroon because his wife and young daughter would have been subject to genital mutilation.
Fuh-Cham said he declined to become chief of his village because his Christian values clashed with many tribal traditions in his village in northwest Cameroon.
But his application for refugee status was turned down by the Immigration and Refugee Board in 2010 because the board did not find his story credible. His family's two applications to remain in Canada on humanitarian grounds were also rejected.
So with just a few days before their scheduled deportation on Oct. 11, Fuh-Cham arrived in Federal Court on Tuesday with his family, including his two Canadian born children, to ask a judge to block the deportation. But before his lawyer, Stewart Istvanffy, uttered a word, Justice Simon Noël warned him that he had a "hard, steep hill to climb" to persuade him to issue a stay.
"I am not here to be a godfather or a grandfather," Noel said as Fuh-Cham's wife, Yvette and three children, age four to 12, looked on.
When Istvanffy said that Fuh-Cham's life would be in danger if he returned to his village, the judge pointed out that it was highly unlikely the family would return to the village of Weh if tribal leaders were threatening his life.
The judge then suggested it would be possible for the family to settle safely in another part of Cameroon. But Istvanffy said the tribal chiefs would be able to track him down and kill him, in retaliation for spurning them. He said the family would be in danger "anywhere in Cameroon."
About 50 members of the family's church community in LaSalle came to court to offer their support. Fuh-Cham works as a manager at UPS, leads his church choir and is an active volunteer.
During the 90 minute hearing, Istvanffy said deporting the family would violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and international law because his client's life is in danger. Noël, however, seemed skeptical, saying that if the tribal leaders had such a grudge against Fuh-Cham why haven't they harmed other family members who still live in the village?
Gretchen Timmins, a justice department lawyer, acknowledged that deporting a family that has been in Canada for many years is difficult. However, she said the IRB determined that the family's story was not true and that they have had many chances to stay in Canada.
Noël took the case under advisement.
After the hearing, Fuh-Cham told The Gazette that his story is true and that his life would be in danger if he returned home. "I won't be able to work or provide for my family in Cameroon," he said.

text: Got a late start because of car issues, but still put in about three hours. Basically finished another Calimbo page. Really need to practice more on drawing/inking folds. I like 'em, but I can't quite pull them off. Worked some more with the white paint, and things went pretty well; but then I decided to erase and managed to smear everything. Gotta remember to let everything dry.

Kawhi Leonard "needs a little bit more work" before he can re-join the Spurs' lineup, reports head coach Gregg Popovich.
Pop told reporters Tuesday that the two-time NBA All-Star is frustrated that he can't hoop just yet for San Antonio, which has dropped to 10th place in the Western Conference standings.
On the Kawhi's front, Popovich said he's still not cleared from his medical team. Once that occurs, they'll talk more about a return. #Spurs
— Jabari Young (@JabariJYoung) March 13, 2018
Popovich on watching Kawhi's workout as he attempts to comeback: "I've see him working out. He needs a little bit more work." #Spurs #NBA
— Jabari Young (@JabariJYoung) March 13, 2018
Leonard's medical team hasn't given him the green light as he continues to rehab from a lingering right quadriceps tendinopathy injury, which caused him to miss the first 27 games of the season.
Per the Express-News:
"Like anybody else, he's frustrated," Popovich said before Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. "He wants to be playing. He's competitive. It's been a tough year in that regard for him. But the first step is he's got to be cleared by his medical staff that he's seeing.
"Until he gets cleared, we can't make a decision on when he's coming back," Popovich continued. "So, once he gets cleared, then he and I can sit down and talk and see what we think about an appropriate time to come back. But that clearance has to be obtained first."
Asked when Leonard, who has only played nine games this season, does get cleared if the team will still consider allowing him to return, Popovich said: "That's a negotiation between the player and the coach to figure out what's best.
"He knows very well out history is pretty documented," added Popovich. "If we're going to err, we're going to err on the conservative side because his career is going to be of paramount importance to us. It's not the game or the playoffs or this or that. It was the same way with Tim (Duncan) early on when he hurt a knee one year, and we didn't let him go in the playoffs. I don't know if it's going to be this situation. We don't know. But his career is going to be paramount in our thinking as we make a decision."

A city of magnificent contrasts, London combines tradition and pageantry with some of the most iconic modern buildings and structures recognised the world over.
From the almost thousand-year-old Tower of London to the commanding dome of
St. Paul's Cathedral and stately Buckingham Palace, history surrounds you. Alongside you'll find a host of cutting edge designs that populate London's spectacular skyline including TheShard and The Gherkin (30 St. Mary Axe).
London is also home to some of the world's most distinguished museums and galleries including the Tate and Tate Modern, The British Museum, The Natural History Museum, The National Gallery and the V&A.
By night, the Capital is transformed into a sea of bright lights, excitement and world-class entertainment. Enjoy a West End play or musical, dine in a renowned restaurant or dance into the early hours in an amazing club. An array of concert venues host music events to rival any in the world from the classical to the avant-garde.
For quieter days out you can enjoy the tranquillity of the royal parks, watch the world go by from the deck of a riverboat gently gliding down the Thames or marvel at the panoramic views over the city from the London Eye.

We're having beautiful weather for January....hit 60 degrees today. I got out this morning and took down about 10 small 3 to 6 inch diameter live trees at the edge of the forest....needed some "green" wood to keep the outdoor wood furnace going at night. It's really nice to put the chainsaw to use in this kind of weather, without having to worry about tick and bug bites, etc. The hardest part of the job was stopping frequently to move the branches out of the way, so I wouldn't trip over one with the chainsaw revved up.
Things get better with age....I'm approaching Magnificent.
Just around the corner from me last week, a couple guys were trying to cut down a storm damaged tree. They managed to crash it onto their garage roof, from whence it then rolled down and crashed into the RV parked in the driveway. It pretty well demolished the RV roof and it looked like it seriously damaged the parapet of the roof as well.
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to try to do it yourself. I dunno how much it would have cost to get a professional tree guy to do it, but I'd bet it would have been a lot less than to replace a big chunk of roof on your house and your RV, too.
I wonder if car insurance pays for cutting down a tree and demolishing your own vehicle?

And this year? No parties, no birthday cards, no boxes to open (well, I had been given my presents earlier, before we left for this trip!) and yet, I am in a place I love the most with my best friend in the world-mom. And I couldn't be happier, despite the little "bumps" on the road.
Ever since having booked the suspiciously cheap car online, I had been wary of the day we'd have to go and pick it up... And, having landed in Valencia past midnight last night, we had to reschedule the pick up for this morning, which meant early wake up and no shower, make up, or breakfast time. Of course, things didn't go all too smoothly with either picking up a rental car at the airport, or me trying to save money on taxis and taking the subway, which ended up costing at least half the fare. So, after a near mental breakdown as I was being convinced that Spain simply does not have automatic transmission cars, a miracle happened! Turns out my beloved agency SIXT recently opened a new outlet near, but not inside the airport terminal, thus not many people even heard of it. And what do you know, they had the best little automatic Hyundai I10 for us, for a very decent price. With that , following the well-known "to the beach!" motto, we drove straight on until the sea was within reach. At this point I was emotionally exhausted, unshowered and hungry. It only took a short stroll by the beachside restaurants for us to, unanimously, pick the best one, with the whole 3-course meal and wine! There, I had finally begun relaxing and believing that indeed, this is my birthday and I am in the best place in the world for that. Later, we managed to effortlessly navigate ourselves to the little wonder I'd been dreaming about seeing: "the City of Arts and Sciences"- I mean, could it be any more perfect for me, considering my interests? Rhetorical question.
I cannot express the stunning beauty of the park's architecture and just how thoughtful every detail is. The pictures don't even do it justice. Unfortunately, we came too late to see anything inside, but I was quite content just to walk around and take all of that in. Here's a glimpse of it:

Dinpafm.com has learnt that the filing fee for presidential aspirants of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been slashed by GH¢100,000.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the candidates will now have to pay GH¢300,000 instead of the GH¢400,000 that was earlier communicated by National Executive Council (NEC) to the aspirants.
It follows Wednesday's crunch meeting by the Council of Elders and National Executive Council (NEC) after eight of the aspirants petitioned the council over the exorbitant fees.
A source has told Dinpafm.com that the sale of nomination forms which closed on Tuesday, December 4, has now been extended to Saturday, December 8.
The date for the primaries has also been moved from January 19, 2019 to January 26, 2019.
The party's executives are however yet to officially confirm the new development.

"Time for a medical check-up"
Ringing and roaring in the ears can be a symptom of a medical condition; like abnormal fluid pressure in the inner ear (Meniere's disease), a non-cancerous tumour (acoustic neuroma), hypertension, diabetes or even allergies. If you're not sure what's causing the strange sounds in your ears, it's time to have a chat with your healthcare provider, and identify the underlying cause. Chances are, it can be treated.

Ashlea Henson is the creative administrator of Mimicks Face Painting. After working in her mum's business for 13 years, in January 2009 Sherrill offered her the opportunity to become a partner in the company.
She brings with her a fresh new approach and spends countless hours designing new faces for the Mimicks artistes to incorporate in their face painting regime, updating the visual marketing aids, display equipment and sales literature, and also overseeing the quality of workplace standards that Mimicks is so recognisable for.
Ashlea is very much a perfectionist and has a unique attention to detail which can be observed at her face painting events. Every child or adult that is worked on by Ashlea doesn't just have their face painted - they receive a creation that depicts an artistic style that sets her apart from many others.
Ashlea was a very young child in 1990 when her Mum started Mimicks Face Painting and from those very early days she became fascinated with the little round pots of paint that her Mum called water make-up. She was always first in line when the kit came out at practice time, and her friends thought it was wonderful when they came round for tea and left with an artistic creation on their face.
Over the years she would attend as many events as possibly and would spend her time just watching and learning from the Mimicks Face Painting girls, taking it all in. Sherrill could see her keen interest so she bought Ashlea a training head block so that she could practice on. Her very first face painting design was a Parrot that she copied from the Grimas book. See photo opposite.
By the time she was only 11 years old, and after much persuasion, Sherrill allowed her to work on paying customers. Quite often she was smaller than those she was painting and had to have a custom made box to stand on so that she could reach their faces!
Practicing on the head block
Aged 6 years
Applying a Fake Wound
Aged 9 years
Throughout her school years she was most happy in her Art and Craft classes and allowed her natural artistic ability to flourish and develop. On leaving school she progressed through a Fine Art A Level at a local college and then went on to achieve The International Theatrical & Media Make-up Diploma.
During this time Ashlea became Premier Artiste for the company and spent her weekends traveling the country with the Mimicks team, attending countless shows and festivals all over the place.
Over the past couple of years Ashlea has been producing face painting tutorial videos for YouTube and has had an overwhelming response from her subscribers. She enjoys passing on her immense knowledge surrounding her face painting skills and intends to continue with her tutorial submissions on a regular basis
Ashlea Face Painting at 11 years old for paying customers.
"It delights me no end when I can see the results that total beginners can produce, purely by watching my step-by-step instruction, and it reminds me of that time, not so long ago, when I was that little girl watching on, as my Mum and her team created their masterpieces!"

I have to say I was every bit intrigued when my friend suggested this novel, explaining it was about 4 strangers who find themselves instantly bonded to each other over one tiny little detail- they were going to jump off the same building.
Each chapter is from the viewpoint of a different character, which tends to be an interesting way to set up books… but why do authors continue to feel the need to write in the worst grammar possible when trying to portray young characters? I like to believe that we aren't all just pounding on our keyboards waiting to see what kewl new abbrev shows up… but what do I know?
All in all, I really only kept turning the pages to see if something of interest would show up, because for the most part I found it to banal. That being said, the point of the story was probably just that; the characters were learning to live with the day to day of their existences, and how to make that something worth waking up for. I'd offer it to a friend to read, but maybe wouldn't suggest paying the 10 bucks they are asking for on amazon.

A death, a mystery, a courtroom… and a golden retriever!
I'd never read a book by the author David Rosenfelt before. I'm glad I remedied that. I love books with animals in them and this book was gripping. I had to keep going to unravel the mystery as well as to see how the dog fared. Be warned, I'm the type who wants the dog to survive–above all else. If you're like me, then this book is for you.
I do have to say there were moments when this book seemed like the first novel by a first time author. There was a lot of telling in the beginning and the first half of the book dragged. But I suggest you slog through it. The story is very much worth it.
Of all of the characters, I loved Tara, the dog, the best. I could see her and loved when she showed up on the scene. There was one particular scene that angered me, but it concerned the choices of the human characters. I also enjoyed the character of Laurie, although I wished she'd have grown more of a backbone. Still, I rooted for her.
The main character of Andy…he left a little to be desired for me. I liked him as a lawyer and how he grew through the story. But his immaturity at times grated on my nerves. He needed to go through this journey to grow in his maturity, but also to come to grips with who he is.
There were plenty of twists and turns I never saw coming. Between courtroom antics, lies and Andy's past coming back to haunt him, I had to keep reading to know what would happen next.
If you like a good mystery with eclectic characters, then this might be the book for you.

Review of HunkPrivates - Real Webcam Chat
Update: HunkPrivates has been taken over by a different site. From what I can see, the new site is not on a secure server. I do not recommend buying anything on a website that isn't safe. I have removed HunkPrivates from my list of the top 5 gay cam sites. You can click here, for better sites.
Hey there, Andy here, ready to take you on another tour of a great live webcam chat site. Today we are going to take a look at the amateur gay cams site, HunkPrivate.
While it may not carry the same mainstream recognition as some other real adult cams sites, such as Jasmin or Cams.com, but at the same time these two brands have been built around an all-inclusive philosophy rather than only amateur gay cams.
When I first logged into the site, I like the fact that I was brought into the main homepage straight away. It gives me, and other visitors a nice overall view of the live webcam chat streams available to you.
As I was a first time visitor to the site, and this not logged in as a member, I was still able to enter any of the real adult cams and watch a special preview of the hot model running it.
I did find that there are certain restrictions that apply, like I could not chat with the chosen amateur cams star, but that is not the end of the world. The design of the site is one that draws you in and wants you to sign up.
There is no cost involved in signing up to enjoy the hot amateur gay cams of HunkPrivates. The sign up process itself is quick and easy. Simply hit the button and enter the details.
- Email Address
- Password
There is nothing more to it, making HunkPrivates one of the easiest live webcam chat sites I have ever joined.
Access is instant, not confirmation emails are needed ad you can jump right into the heart of the action.
While signing up for the real adult cams site is free, I was mildly disappointed to find there is no real free cam chat option. However, after some reflection I came to realized that by ensuring people usin the site have credits added into their account, the site admins are actually doing a very good thing. While some people may have a problem with this approach, by removing free chat to non-paying members the site is creating a more intimate and focused atmosphere. I truly believe that this, in turn, makes visits to the real adult cams all the more enjoyable.
One of the things I always look for in a live adult webcams site is variety in the ways I can add tokens to my account. I was satisfied with the range of options presented by the site.
- Visa,
- MasterCard,
- Ideal,
- Paysafe Cards,
- Direct Internet Banking,
- Payment via Telephone,
- Payment via Text Message
A wide range of payment options certainly opens up access to the live amateur gay cams to almost everybody, as let's face it, everybody has a bank card, bank account, or a mobile phone.
To make it even easier, the site have broken down the tokens into pre-defined bundles. All I had to do is make the selection that suits you the best and away you go. The purchased tokens were added to my account instantly, meaning I was off and running in a matter of seconds.
The packs are termed in t-shirt sizes and range from Extra Small to Medium.
- Extra Small: 60 credits for $14.99
- Small: 150 credits for $29.99 plus 15 free bonus credits
- Medium: 355 credits for $49.99 plus 34 free bonus credits.
I always top up an account when joining a site, and so took advantage of the 25 credits for a dollar. I mean who wouldn´t.
I spent a little time browsing the main page, acclimatising myself to the site. It had a smooth look and feel to it, and while the search functionality was basic, it had everything I needed to reduce the available amateur gay cams down to a selection that suited my desires.
I could filter on any of the following criteria:
- Spoken Language
- Ethnicity
- Age
- Hair Type
- Body Hair
- Body Type
- Miscellaneous
I managed to whittle down the online cams to just three with my carefully selected criteria.
Within the real adult cams themselves, I found a perfectly decent live webcam chat platform.
A good sized chat screen is always key, to a fun experience, and HunkPrivates certainly offered that. The in chat options were not as wide ranging as I would have liked, but they covered the basics in a good and trustworthy fashion.
Different screensizes, including a full screen mode and volume controls, the simple backbone upon which a good real adult cams show is built.
You also have the options of following your favourite amateur gay chat models, and also exchanging private messages. I always like the message option because for someone who likes to build a relationship with a select few cam stars, this is a perfect tool to deepen that relationship.
The standard tipping feature is also a key factor in the success of any real adult chat experience. After all, that is the catalyst in the majority of interaction on a site like this.
I liked the layout of the chat room, and found the full screen to be a perfect accompaniment to the experience, and having tested it out, the mobile and tablet versions were equally effective and engaging. I'm not a big fan of watching live adult webcams on a tablet, but it's always good to see the site have kept that angle in mind.
The site even have a decent FAQ section which I did not have to use, but always like to familiarize myself with whenever I join a new site, because, well, it's always good to know how to get help.
The FAQ covers most of the normal questions I could think of and certainly went a long way to creating that feeling of a site. The people behind the site care about it, they are there trying to make it an experience and a brand.
I definitely see a bright future for the hot amateur gay cams of HunkPrivates and certainly advocate opening up an account to enjoy their offerings.

Fished Little Lakes Valley with limited success. Many hits but mostly short strikes, misses. Did much better on a small creek - hungry, aggressive fish. Mix of browns with an occasional rainbow and brook.
Great weather - a little warm during the day (up to high 90s in the valley) but cooled off nicely at night. Wind was perfect.
Tons of hoppers out right now, trout are gorging on them.
Tight lines!

|Taxidermy specimen of a juvenile Cuckoo
Cuckoos feature largely in mythology and folklore. The Greek poet Hesiod, dating from about the seventh or eighth century BCE, mentions the cuckoo in his Works and Days.
"When first the cuckoo uttereth his note amid the leaves of the oak and rejoiceth men over the limitless earth, then may Zeus rain on the third day and cease not, neither overpassing the hoof of an ox nor falling short thereof : so shall the late plower vie with the early". [ll. 486-90]
In effect, a ploughman may plough after three days of spring rain and vie with another who ploughed in the autumn. Spring is identified as when the cuckoo is first heard.
|Closer view of the Cuckoo
In Aristophanes' comedy The Birds, (from 414 BCE) two Athenians, Peisthetaerus (Mr Trustyfriend) and Euelpides (Mr Goodhope), persuade the birds to build an ideal city in the sky, between the Gods and Men and intercepting the communications between the two. The birds like this plan, so the city is founded and it is given the name Νεφελοκοκκυγία (Cloudcuckooland); the name has since come to be used for any overly idealistic plan or unrealistic situation. In The Birds Peisthetaerus says,
"And again of Egypt and all Phoenice the cuckoo was king: and whenever the cuckoo said 'cuckoo,' then all the Phoenicians would reap the wheat and barley in their plains," [ll. 504-6];
again, identifying the sound of the cuckoo with the coming of spring.
Sumer is icumen in, Lhude sing cuccu,(Summer is a-coming in, Loudly sing cuckoo),
[Harleian Ms. 978]
|Harleian Ms 978 - Sumer is Icumen In c.1240
(As an aside, this song also contains the line Bulluc sterteth, Bucke uerteth which the Transactions of the Philological Society (1868), with typical Victorian decorum, gives as 'Bullock starteth, Buck verteth (i.e. seeks the green)' – uerteth is now more usually translated as farteth – farts).
An old English folk rhyme goes,
"The cuckoo comes in April,Sings a song in May,Then in June another tune,And then she flies away,"
(and a Lancashire proverb says, "The first cock of hay frights the Cuckoo away"). Speaking ornithologically, by the way, it is the cock bird that has the distinctive 'cuckoo' song; the hen bird's cry is a rapid bubbling call. One folk tradition is that, on hearing the first call of the cuckoo, a maiden should take off her left shoe and in it she will find a hair of the same colour as that of her future husband. Another tradition is that whatever you are doing when you hear the first cuckoo of the year, then that is the thing you will do most during the rest of that year; another is that if you hear the bird when lying in bed, then illness or death will surely follow.
|The Cuckow from William Yarrell History of British Birds 1852
A Northern tradition is that, hearing that first cuckoo (or seeing the new moon), you should turn over the money in your pocket, and you should be careful to have some money ready for this, otherwise you will have none for the rest of the year. In some areas, it is believed that the cuckoo does not migrate; instead it turns into a sparrow hawk in the winter, (there is a little similarity between the two birds), and Aristotle mentions this belief in his History of Animals, Book VI, Chapter VII. The other habit for which the cuckoo is well known is that of laying its egg in the nest of another bird, (the first recorder of this was Edward Jenner, the father of immunology, a man whose work has "saved more lives than the work of any other man).
|Edward Jenner Observations on the Natural History of the Cuckoo 1788
The cuckoo will seek out the nest of a bird, often hedge sparrows or warblers, and either lay directly into the nest, or lay elsewhere and carry its egg in its beak to the nest. It may also remove eggs already in the nest, and the cuckoo's egg may mimic the colour of those of the parasitised host. The young cuckoo hatchling will push out any remaining eggs, or other newly hatched birds, and will be solely fed by its adoptive parents. There can be few more pitiful sights in nature than that of a tiny warbler bringing food to an enormous great gowk that has murdered its brood and taken over its home.
|Baby Cuckoo dwarfs its adoptive parent
The hedge-sparrow fed the cuckoo so long,
That it had it head bit off by it young.
Shakespeare King Lear Act 1 Scene iv
Gowk, by the way, comes from the Old English éac, cognate with Old Norse gaukr, an old name for the cuckoo, still used locally in the North and Scotland. The Catholicon Anglicum (1483) has Goke as an entry for 'cuckoo', and Morte Arthure of 1430-1440 has the line 'Thare galede the gowlte one greue fulle lowde.' [l. 927.]
Gowk also means a foolish person, as does gawk, (think of a gawky teenager), and some say it may even be a forerunner of geek (think of a geeky teenager). On April Fool's Day, it was the done thing to send someone on a gowk's errand, bearing a message that read, "This is the first of Aprile, Hunt the gowk another mile".

text: Copied text of an email that I sent to them last week: "Hello As you can see from this forwarded email, I joined the CTC online two months ago. Apart from this receipt for my payment, I have had nothing from you to acknowledge my membership. I haven't received a magazine, email, a list of local events or anything that would make me feel that I have joined a useful and welcoming club. This is a pretty poor show from a membership organisation. New members should be more important to you than this. Can you let me know what benefits my membership will bring, both to me individually and to cycling in the UK as a whole? And can you let me know why I should bother renewing my membership next year? Regards" They haven't responded yet, annoyingly. My mate has been a member for years. He has recently moved house and is having tremendous difficulty getting them to change his details. Does anyone know what's going on?

This came to me via a roundabout route. The main component appears to be an electric motor - or, with a small impeller on the front, a generator - and it was claimed to have dropped off an aircraft and picked up at Dunkirk. It was also claimed to be part of an aerial torpedo. I have severe doubts about both claims. Neither is the cable necessarily original.
But why does it have the angled splines around both main sections (rather like those of the German rifle projector / Kampfpistole grenade etc). there are no marks save for an enigmatic figur 20 in a circle stamped on it, but neither Waffenampt nor AD marks at all.
Any suggestions most welcome.

The Marketing Director, Finlab, Lagos, Mr. Uzo Nwaije, has said that the organisation had begun manufacturing laboratory equipment in Nigeria.
Uwaije, in a statement in Lagos on Thursday, said the development was in line with the Federal Government's goal to increase the country's quota to science and development.
Some of the laboratory products manufactured by the company include test tubes, beakers, measuring cylinders funnels and rack.
"It is obvious that local production of scientific equipment is sine-qua-non for the national development of science education in Nigeria. However, challenges abound.
"Addressing these challenges should not only be the responsibility of governments at all levels, but also all stakeholders in the public and private sectors working in collaboration, in line with the public-private partnership arrangements in Nigeria," Uwaije stated.

Where to stay in London
Hi, we are going to be in London for a day and a half before flying home, where would be a good area to stay in and hotel recommendations?
Crazy you're back! How many people how much money?
Budget? Places you plan to visit?
In addition . . .Which airport or station are you arriving and departing?
But mainly BUDGET?
for short stays, and if flying out of lhr, we've usually stayed out at lhr and commuted in. lots of hotel categories to choose from.
If you want to stay near Heathrow Airport, Jury's Inn is convenient. It is next to the Hatton Cross tube station, which is the first station as you leave the airport. Only drawback is that it is a long tube ride into town and can be super crowded during rush hour.
No, let's not do that :-) Crazy you need to stay in town.
>>day and a half<< indicates enough time that staying at LHR likely doesn't make sense.
but w/o knowing where they are arriving (and IF they are flying out of LHR for that matter) no one can really advise the best area to stay . . .
Bilboburgler Yes I'm back!!! We are in Angers France right now...loving it!!!!!!!
It's just the 2 of us! We fly home from Heathrow on the 12th but it's not an early flight ?!
I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount on a hotel but still enough that's it's a decent hotel (if that makes sense) lol
I'm not a London expert but as Brit I have to go there sometimes. I tend to stay with cheaper hotels like the IBIS chain or the PremierTravelInn chain. Given you are in France on Business not an unreasonable place to start the hunt. Cheap but clean, good basic restaurant on site.
With the tube lots of places are close to others and given your timescales you may not be lucky but not a bad place to start.
I had a quick look County Hall (directly opposite the Parliament is £368 for two nights 10, 11/March, the Tower Bridge PMInn is about the same price. Prices are high s you are booking late, but not unreasonable.
>>I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount on a hotel but still enough that's it's a decent hotel (if that makes sense) lol<<
Well <i>that</i> narrows things down - not ;)
There are hundreds of 'decent' hotels in London (probably thousands) - so you really do need to give us some idea of your budget.
Sorry Crazy, London prices tend on the high side and the place is very big (it will make Paris look like a small town :-) ).
£150 a night does not get you a lot but the bed/fittings should be new and clean, with ensuite. £200 you would expect a bit of luxury. £300 and I'd want loads of extras for the night plus breakfast thrown in with a chocolate on my pillow.
I'm basing all this on my memory of discusions a few months ago, so I think £150 to £200 would hit the mark janisj. Crazy didn't like the idea of coming to Europe at all (first time etc) but came with Husband on business. Looks like Angers was a good visit.
Jansij can you make suggestions for 10 11 March? (Iknow.)
Crazy, you need to understand "the tube". Search on the search box top right and also search "Oyster card". Don't worry if you can manage Paris then London should be easy, after all we almost speak English.
Actually you can get many very nice places for under £150 especially if you use last minute.com. I just booked a lovely hotel in Marylebone ( and area I like as I think it has a village feel whilst being very convenient to theatre land , great shops etc) anyway I got that hotel for £148 incl tax.... It was called The Mandeville. I have booked many last minute hotels for good prices in London.
You could try secret escapes or voyage price or as I mentioned lastminute,com
Voyageprive.com (correction to above typo)
What kind of hotel you search and budget?
There are lots of inexpensive hotels near Victoria Station, which is my new favorite area to stay, with convenient transportation from all the airports, and convenient access to almost anything else.
I use www.booking.com to find hotels. You can specify your destination as "London Victoria" or just "London centre". Then you can sort the list by price or by guest rating. The ratings are provided only by certified guests. Read the guest reviews before making a final choice.
Thanks foe all the advise....
Which 'area' do you recommend?! We are planning to take the 'illite car big city' tour...have heard great things!! And I would like to check out notting hill!!! And we fly home from heathrow...
Would spend around $200 on hotel ?! I can easily google hotel options ... I just have no clue which area I should be looking at.... Help!!!! Lol
Darn - I wrote a long post and the site went down.
here is most of it:
The really best bargains will likely be booked up at this late date and it may take a bit of searching. Any hotel along the Piccadilly line will be on the direct line to LHR. If you are arriving on the Eurostar - St Pancras is also on the Piccadilly line.
$200 = approx £184 which is a 'moderate' rate in London. Hotels in that price range tend to book up pretty far in advance
So any hotel near the St Pancras, Holborn/Russell Square, Leicester Sq, Green Park, South Kensington, Gloucester Road tube stations will be convenient to both St Pancras and LHR.
Now that we finally have a number to go on I tried dummy bookings at a couple of my 'tried and true' properties but neither had availability next week.
So I'd just plug your dates and budget into Londontown.com and laterooms.com and see what's available. Also try booking.com Travelodges are cheap-ish (but rates are very date dependent). Some Premier Inns are bargains -- but they tend to book up early.
>>illite car big city<< -- I think you meant Small Car Big City http://smallcarbigcity.com

To say I'm disappointed is a bit of an understatement. The news of Buju Banton's guilty verdict in cocaine and gun-related charges has left me straight sick in the ol' gut.
I grew up listening to Buju in my later youth, and have watched him progress and change in lyrics and attitude. I caught him live when I was barely old enough to hit the clubs, as he's become an icon of reggae music worldwide. It's difficult to watch someone fall hard who has spent his career proclaiming all he does is for only Jah.
I've had a few of his more recent tunes on rotation since the news hit.
But the clip I really think of when he comes to mind was shared with me by the great Sean Roofless, a clip of the mighty David Rodigan from a performance in Houston. It really is stunning.
http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F11057533 Rodigan – Live In Houston – Buju & Pinchers Dubplates by westheoperative
Lastly, I was moved by this article in the Jamaica Observer, in which Buju's parents relate their overall lack of words over the incident, a sentiment that would be resoundingly echoed by any parent in the same situation.
"Though you may think my faith is in vain, til Shiloh we chant Rastafari's name."

SAWP-Sunday Afternoon SUMMER Wine Post
Writing about Wine is not nearly the fun of actually sampling or tasting it. But then again, one follows the other, and so makes it a fun pursuit as well. As Summer draws closer to its end, we have not yet discussed great wines to have at all of those outings, picnics and celebrations.
With the heat of Summer, as well the sun, beach, and lighter food, etc., all of these tend to lead many people towards White wines over Red. [Or a great alternative, which is Rose's, written about in an earlier post.] A couple of great Whites we have been drinking this summer are: Viognier, and Riesling.
Viognier is its own grape, but not an easy one to grow. Little known and little grown in the US, Viognier can be a delicious wine for you to sample. What makes a Viognier such a great choice? They are a nice variation from most of the styles or varietals you may have tried in the past; a little bit of citrus fruit like a Sauvignon Blanc, a little bit of sweetness like a dessert wine, a little more body like a Chardonnay, even a bit of an ambrosia-type flavor…all rolled into one.
Having hints of all of these really does make Viognier go well with a number of Summer foods: Grilled seafood [or most any seafood for that matter], summer salads, deli tray selections, even BBQ chicken. Yum!
Riesling is a German grape, but this is not 'your father's Riesling' that I am talking about, which, like Rose', came to the US as cheap swill for many years. Today's riesling often has great quality, and great drinkability. A good Riesling these days can have a bit of citrus to it also, but tends to be a little lighter with a more consistent taste from nose to throat. Also, Riesling can have a minerality to it…which means exactly what it sounds like: rocks, or stones.
Due to that, Riesling's will stand up well with Lobster dishes, fruit salad, light summer pastas, and so many more.
Best of all, you can get good versions of both Viognier and Riesling, at your local Wine shop, in the $7 – 15 range. Even better ones can be had for a bit more. Try & Enjoy!
One Response to "SAWP-Sunday Afternoon SUMMER Wine Post"
Ken, Viognier is often considered a perfect alternative to Chardonnay. With a floral nose and dry finish, this wine , which originated in the Northern Rhone Valley of france is indeed a hot weather wine. It also makes a good wine to serve at Thanksgiving. Finally, Viognier is often blended with Syrah to create wines such as Cote Rotie.
Riesling is all over the map. A wise investment are the 2007 vintages which are some of the best in the last 25 years. Remember to ask about sweetness levels. But a nice, dry Riesling is a perfect patio sipping wine.
Finally, you hit the nail on the head with roses. Good all year around, most roses ar dry and pair well with most foods.
So when thinking about your next sales event, think Rose. And surprise your clients.

100 Miles of Nowhere
I've wanted to do a Century Ride on my unicycle for some time, but was having trouble with the logistics, and finding a good route. You pretty much have to be self-sustained, which can mean carrying a very heavy pack full of food and water and tools, so you're prepared if anything goes wrong. Then I heard about the 100 Miles of Nowhere from fatcyclist.com http://www.fatcyclist.com/2009/04/23/register-now-for-the-100-miles-of-nowhere/). It's basically a performance art concept: the idea is to make a meaningful donation to the Lance Armstrong Foundation http://www.livestrong.org/site/c.khLXK1PxHmF/b.2660611/k.BCED/Home.htm), then ride 100 miles while covering as little physical distance as possible. Many racers do it on their bike rollers. Others on a high school track or around the central loop road in a city park. I chose Klahanie, my suburban cookie-cutter neighborhood, as the perfect location. I could do a five-mile-loop 20 times, while never traveling further than 2 miles from my house. No need to pack a lot of food or water, since I'd be passing my house every 25 minutes. No need to pack tools, since help would be a 5 minute drive away. The only downside: tedium.Read More

By Meg Sharma
At this year's Oscars, many were anticipating some big statements. Hollywood has seen a progressive year, tackling sexual assault and sexism in the industry, (as well as revolutionary casting in Black Panther), which has led to campaigns such as 'Me Too' and 'Times Up'. Expectations were met, with many seeing the theme of inclusion and diversity among speeches, with one in gaining particular interest. In her speech for best actress, Frances McDormand mentioned an 'inclusion rider' to ensure that cast and crew meet a level of diversity.
The concept was conceived by Stacey Smith at a Ted Talk in 2016. She noticed that among most feature films there are roughly 45 speaking roles, with at least 30 being extra characters which do not affect the plot, so 'there's no reason why those minor roles can't match or reflect the demography of where the story is taking place.'
The rider was already in some actors and production company's contracts before the Oscars, and since then other actors have pledged to add it to theirs. This means the films they work in with must meet a certain percentage or quota of diversity, or they may be subject to a 'penalty fine' which is paid to a fund supporting underrepresented groups.
Currently the inclusion rider is only added to the contracts of those who chose it, and they mean well, but it could be used incorrectly or encourage diversity in a harmful way. Directors and casting agents may end up hiring actors based on their diversity, rather than acting ability or suitability for the role so they meet a quota and avoid paying a fine. The encouragement of diversity should come naturally, and while representation of the population is good, it should not be fought.
Smith also argues that the extra characters should reflect the population, not regarding major or even minor characters in this. Of course, in some situations a character has specific requirements in race, gender, sexuality etc. that are vital to the plot, but representation often has more impact when applied to major roles.
In the film industry minorities are still being paid less than their straight white male colleagues, and the rider does not help those actors gain a fair pay. This could result in those actors being hired and still being discriminated in their pay and benefits.
There is also a possibility that this could fall into positive discrimination, which is when someone is favoured based on their diversity, and is considered unlawful in the UK. The process of fining the distributor or producer if they do not meet a quota could force those people to positively discriminate, even if they had considered diverse actors in the audition process. While the complete details of the rider are not publically available, there is no way to ensure that hiring is done on a fair basis.
Diversity has often been publicised as a positive thing that makes the workplace better. In an article published on careers site Go Think Big, they say that diversity is '*totally* important!' as it helps businesses make 'big money', and that diverse workplaces are less dull for all involved as people will bring in different lunches, or have different ideas when brainstorming (because people who are from the same background obviously can't have different ideas!).
The article clings to the idea that diverse people will make the workplace more interesting and beneficial for those who are not diverse, and in turn they tend to miss out on opportunities and sometimes even pay. Really no one wants to be hired to to make others' lives less dull, or because of what makes them diverse. I know I'd rather not work for a company that favours me because I'm Indian or a woman.
The fight for inclusion proves difficult. For those who fit the 'diverse label' they may want a job opportunity that will push forward their career but face the reality that they may be desirable for the role because the traits they are born with, such as race, gender, sexuality or disability, rather than their skills and suitability. The inclusion rider comes from a good place, but does not consider how the rider can be abused, or it's long term effects and repercussions.

Published: 2004
It's about: Set in the Sundarbans, a cluster of islands drifting on the reckless tides of the coast of India, the story is of the place's strange peace. It is unsettled by Piya, an Indian/ American woman researching a breed of river dolphin and who doesn't speak the local language, and Kanai, a sharp but arrogant translator from the mainland. On the island of Lusibari, Kanai's aunt Nilima has build a legacy in the first hospital to be erected on the vicious landscape, and spends a lifetime protecting it from the harsh thoughts of her political radical husband until his death. Finally, there is Fokir a local fisherman, who guides Piya through the labyrinth of waters. Together they constitute the history of the region's unyielding habitat, and the people who live through it.
I thought: The most wonderful thing about this novel are the descriptions of the tide country, particularly Lusibari and the water and riverside itself, but also the types of people who live there and how they make their life. The language that Ghosh uses is lovely in that for a book so crammed with details and descriptions, it's not difficult to get through or dull so that the images seem flat. For example, the depictions of the mud which seems to completely cover the islands and extends to the shores and bottom of the river. It appears in so many aspects of the story, because it makes up an important part of the landscape, yet it isn't just the author telling the reader what mud is. He knows we know. It's how this mud makes the place, how it swallows up your feet if you don't curl your toes into it, and in this way Ghosh describes the way people live in the Sundarbans, and how it is truly singular.
The style and language that Ghosh uses to develop the characters is also artful. They are each different and present a different idea and background to the story. The fact that there is often no resolution to the conflicts that these differences cause, gives the reader the idea that people simply live differently, and are required to do things in varying ways depending on their situation and the nature of where they live. Ghosh makes these differences and disagreements in opinion okay.
The only negative thing I would say about this novel is that the beginning is a little slow. I read the blurb and then was 100 pages in and wondering when everything was going to start. Although, other than that, this book is fascinating. The plot is brilliantly intriguing and makes you curious about what the reader is trying to say.
Verdict: Stick it on the shelf.
Reading Recommendations: I regret not reading this book in a shorter period of time, in order to make the most of the atmosphere and sense of place.
Warnings: None.
Favorite excerpts: 'Kanai, the dreamers have everyone to speak for them,' she said. 'But those who're patient, those who try to be strong, who try to build things - no one ever sees any poetry in that, do they?'
Soon the dawn fog was as distant a memory as the chill of the night. With the mud banks and the forests holding back the wind, no breeze could find its way down to the water. In the stillness, the river seemed to give birth to a second sun, so that these was almost as much heat radiating from the water's surface as from the cloudless sky. As the temperature peaked, subterranean currents of life rose seething to the surface of the nearby mud banks, with legions of crabs scuttling to salvage the rich haul of leaves and other debris left behind by the retreating tide.
What I'm reading next: Persuasion by Jane Austen

Ron Paul gains popularity
In the wake of several anti-people stances of the government, Natural News opines that a comprehensive background check of all the top notch officials in the administration and especially of the congressmen would reveal the hypocrisy of the government. Smoking marijuana has been criminalized in a number of states which means that smoking marijuana is not a legal act. If the bureaucrats of the U.S. government have nothing to hide about themselves from the public, they should consider undergoing a test of marijuana. Learn more at: http://www.naturalnews.com/039635_background_checks_Congress_Obama_administration.html
The issue of gun control is raging nowadays, but is there any appropriate reason for controlling guns? According to Mike Adams, what America actually needs at present is medication control. It turns out that most of the infamous mass shooters in the last two decades had been going through psychiatric medication before they committed the heinous crimes. Take for example, the case of Adam Lanza, the shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It has been reported by ABC News that Lanza was suffering from "mental illness" and was possibly being treated with psychiatric drugs. But the government is taking advantage of the incidents by blaming the prevalence of guns in America without addressing the real problem. To know more log on to: http://www.naturalnews.com/038353_gun_control_psychiatric_drugs_Adam_Lanza.html
Though many are feeling helpless as well as hopeless in front of the atrocities of the government, not all are ready to give up so easily. Ron Paul has become a heroic figure in American society due to his stark criticism of the government policies that are directed against public interest. Paul has been maintaining the same stance for almost 25 years when it comes to public freedom. The pro-people attitude of this Republican has made him a favorite figure among Democrats as well, reports Natural News. More of this is reported at: http://www.naturalnews.com/034630_Ron_Paul_democrats_liberals.html
