Cedric, the missing member from your original meeting with Mr.V met the party at the Chubby Mermaid. There they met and went to meet Pretty and his crew.
Kamaritus was unable to join the group due to some clerical matters.
The meeting with Pretty and company went without incident. The group agreed to clear a building of squatter thieves from the thieves guild of Tattermont in exchange for information on Tia and some possible gold based on performance. The party learned little about who they are working with.
The party then returned to the Chubby Mermaid to prepare for the next morning's events. Ville managed to dazzle a few drunken sailors and steal one of their daggers.
XP for events up to scouting the hideout Ville 2010, Zantias 2010, Kamaritus 1300
The group made their way to the hideout. Ville disguised himself as a delivery boy of sorts and managed to coerce one of the guild members to open the door.
Ville rolled a 1 on his disguise check to fool the guild member into thinking he was a delivery boy from the guild.
Rolling a 1 on skill check DOES NOT equal auto failure. That rule only applies to attack rolls and saving throws.
Everyone assumed that it was an auto-failure and then attacked the guard. Cedric even said he dashed towards the door to attack. In this case no one, not even Ville, would have known if he failed or not.
Battle ensued. One of the three rogues managed to hide away during the fighting. Vantias then opened a chest via the Open/Close spell releasing a magical blast of needles that the group was able to avoid.
The chest contained the following:
- Two magical scrolls. (One identified as ""/campaign/lotwt/wikis/spells" class="wiki-page-link"> Belker Claws")
- 2 gems (unappraised)
- A small magical hourglass (unidentified)
- A magical dagger (unidentified)
The party then coerced the rogue in the cellar out of hiding and convinced him to give the party information regarding the guild. You learned that the leader of this particular band of thieves is named Donavan. He frequently makes trips between Wickerwall and Tattermont. He also said that he should be returning in two days.
The group then kept their promise and let the rogue go free. Ville asked the rogue to deliver a message to his boss that his guild is not welcome in Wickerwall. Vantias left a similar message inside the building.
The group then explored the basement area where they discovered a torture room and a divining pool. They then left and returned to the Chubby Mermaid. The second chest was not opened and the documents on the tables were not examined.

Hollywood Secrets: Secret detail about iconic 'Frankenstein' scene will blow your mind
Welcome to Hollywood Secrets -- a weekly video series uncovering Hollywood's best-kept secrets. Check back for new episodes every Tuesday!
Don't you love a good scary movie?!
The Universal Studios back lot, which opened its Hollywood, California, doors in 1915, is basically the birth place of the classic scary films like "Psycho" and "Hunchback of Notre Dame."
Specifically, a little area called the Court of Miracles is where countless of scary movies have been filmed. While you thought iconic movies like "Hunchback of Notre Dame" or "Psycho" were filmed in Paris or some remote European village, they were actually shot in sunny Los Angeles!
However, the most mind-blowing secret of all involves the movie "Frankenstein," which has been remade several times since its first debut in 1931.
RELATED: The most scandalous celeb Halloween costumes:
See Gallery
In almost every single one of the "Frankenstein" movies, which may be arguably be one of the scariest movies of all, there's a mob scene with torches and pitchforks and crowds trying to find the monster.
Believe it or not, those iconic scenes were filmed at the Court of Miracles in a little block that's now used for the hit NBC show "The Good Place" starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson. The street that we're used to seeing in all "Frankenstein" movies -- filled with horrific mobs -- has now transformed to what is known on the NBC show as heaven! Who knew?!
The Universal Studios back lot also includes what viewers in the early 2000s knew as Wisteria Lane on "Desperate Housewives." Believe it or not, there's one detail about that iconic street that was never revealed -- check it out in the video above!

So you can start a game, move around, shoot at bad guys, and they can shoot at you. All good, but there are still some game mechanics that I need to work on before I can start on designing real levels.
Right now I'm implementing the power-up system. The way I envision it working is this: Every enemy will, when destroyed, drop one or more "energy crystals" relative to how large/difficult to kill they are. Collecting these charges up your power-up bar, but they start to decay after being dropped, so grabbing them quickly is vital. Once the power-up bar is full, your weapon levels-up and the bar is reset, this time taking twice as much "energy" to fill and reach the next level. The bar will also slowly drain, and if it reaches zero you will "level-down" to the previous weapon. You can also trigger a superweapon or smart-bomb effect by holding the mouse button, but this will drain your energy bar even quicker. Dying won't completely reset your weapon, but will bump it down a notch.
This adds an element of strategy and a risk/reward structure to power-ups. Should you use the superweapon to clear this difficult wave of enemies, or save your energy to keep your main weapon leveled-up? Plus the decaying energy crystals encourage the player to take risks and fight up-close and personal in order to grab them quickly for the greatest effect. The continuous drain might be a problem during boss fights, but I can get around that by having smaller enemies, or maybe homing missiles launched from the big bad, drop energy during the battle.
The biggest challenge will be balancing all this. If you can help by playtesting, I'd be very grateful.

Roundheads or Cavaliers?
Or, to take it out of English argot, circumcision or no circumcision?
There's the various health aspects of doing it, STDS, penile cancer and so on but they're minor really.
It's also true that it leads to lower sensitivity in those who have the chop. Something you might think is a bad idea.
Well, yes, but, click through here to see why that migh actually be the justifying point for circumcision.

Man's Relationship With The Environment
Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 26, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: There is alot of discussion, today, about Man's proper relationship to the environment. This is a study of some truths found in God's Word that might help us formulate a godly viewpoint on Man's relationship to Nature.
Man and Nature
Since the 1960s, there has been a lot of controversy as to Man's relationship to the environment and nature. There has grown a movement that seeks to place the value of the environment above the needs of Man. This is a reaction on the part of some to those who exploit the environment for Man's greedy and materialistic pursuits.
This morning, I would like for us to examine some truths found in God's Word that might help us formulate a godly viewpoint on Man's relationship to Nature.
Truth #1 Man Is NOT Just Another Animal Specie in Nature, But A Unique Creature Made In The Image of God, Crowned With Glory And Majesty!
Genesis 1:27, "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." All God's creatures glorify Him by their very existence, but only one is able to worship and serve Him by an act of the will.
Psalm 8:4-5, "What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him? Yet Thou hast made him a little lower than God, And dost crown him with glory and majesty!"
Truth #2 God Has Given Dominion Over All The Earth And Its Life-forms To Mankind.
Psalms 115:16, "The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; But the earth He has given to the sons of men."
Psalms 8:6, "Thou dost make him to rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet."
Man Is To Fill The Earth And Subdue It.
Genesis 1:28, "And God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue (Heb. Kabash - bring it into subjection) it."
All Vegetation Has Been Given For Man's Use; Primarily, As A Food-Source For Himself And Animal Life.
Genesis 1:29-30, "Then God said, 'Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food;' and it was so."
Man Is Directed To Cultivate The Land According To His Needs.
Genesis 2:15; 3:23, "Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep (Heb. Shamar - to keep, preserve, protect) it….Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken." Man's rule and dominion over the earth is that of a steward or a caretaker, not a reckless exploiter.
All Animal Life Is Under Man's Rulership And Meant For His Use.
Genesis 1:26, "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"
Psalm 8:6-8, "Thou dost make him to rule over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas."
Genesis 9:1-2, "And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the terror of you shall be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.'"
Animals Are Meant To Be A Food-Source For Man.
Genesis 9:3, "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant."
Romans 14:2-3, "One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. Let not him who eats regard with contempt him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats, for God has accepted him."
1 Timothy 4:1-5, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."

R's been doing well with his school work. I got him a Kumon Tracing work book, and he got through a good portion of it yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by how well he did with it. And he really enjoyed it. I may have to look at more of their materials. B has been taking a few steps every day, but hasn't really struck out walking yet. Watching her, you can tell she wants to though. You can see her thinking really hard about it.
We're hoping to make a trip up to TN to see the fam. week after next, but haven't planned exact dates yet. J won't be coming with us. We've never traveled anywhere together as a family of 4. In all honesty, sometimes it's nice for me to have a short break from him. Helps renew the spark, as it were. I miss his help moving the kids around though. R asks me daily if we are going to see grandma and old man (what he calls my dad). We've had so much trouble with J's truck though, I've been reluctant to take the car on a trip lest his truck have to go back to the shop.
Next week is my birthday :-D

The Perfect Bow
During this time of year we all tie lots of bows! But do you know how to tie the perfect bow? At Papersource.com we found a great step by step on how to tie, just the perfect bow!
1. Measure ribbon by wrapping the ribbon around the box twice. It is helpful to use a sharp pair of scissors when trimming your edges. Make sure to leave enough ribbon so you can trim the edges again, if necessary, after your bow is tied.
2. Tighten the ribbon around the box and with your right hand pull the length of ribbon on the left over and under to create a single tie, as you would when tying your shoe.
3. Place your thumb on your left hand to hold the tightness and pull the ribbon length of the right side up to create a loop.
4. Pull the loop over to the right as you use your left hand to take the ribbon length around the loop.
5. Pull ribbon through and under. Then pull up to create a second loop over the first loop.
6. Pull the two loop ends to create a even bow.
7. Tighten the bow to your desired length.
8. To create even edges, take both ribbon lengths on left and right, pull together to measure them at the same place which ensures they will be cut at the same length, and then cut at any angle you please.
Happy Holidays!!
From Becky and Meredith

Funny near death
A neighbor across the street who's been recovering from a brain aneurism for the past year was happily messing with a plastic hamster ball; she asked me if I minded small rodents, and handed over the young pet of her five year old son. He has named this little furball Ham and Cheese, and H&C has already used up a life, if hamsters could be thought to have a few at their disposal. He disappeared several days ago from his hamster condo, and usually in that event, a hamster will be found, flattened, under a sofa pillow. One of my brother-in-laws can attest to this, having witnessed about every sort of demise possible for his string of childhood hamsters. H&C, however, somehow evaded capture, and one night the young owner heard strange sounds coming from the furnace; his dad opened a panel, and there was Ham and Cheese. Luckily it wasn't midwinter, so the furnace wasn't firing up.

College football's new early signing period for high school seniors couldn't have come at a better time for UTSA coach Frank Wilson, who hasn't had much reason to celebrate since he completed his second season with the Roadrunners last month.
After seeing his team left out in the cold on Selection Sunday and losing his defensive coordinator to Alabama last week, Wilson was ready to turn the page and talk about the future during a news conference Wednesday to announce UTSA's early signing class.
The Roadrunners signed 19 players, including two from San Antonio – Wagner offensive lineman Spencer Burford (6-3, 290) and Brandeis defensive tackle Brandon Matterson (6-2, 300).
"We looked at Brandon and what he does at the high school level, and just was a dominant player as a defensive lineman, as an offensive lineman," Wilson said. "He did phenomenal things.
"Spencer Burford is the most talented offensive lineman we've recruited during our tenure here. He has the ability that he could have played at any school that I've been at. We think he's a jewel. He's extremely talented and a physical specimen," Wilson said.
UTSA signed 10 offensive and eight defensive players, and one who could wind up playing on either side of the ball. Fifteen of the signees are high school seniors and four are junior college transfers.
Junior college players always have been allowed to sign early, but high school seniors had to wait until the first Wednesday in February each year to sign a letter of intent.
Players who sign in December are not required to enroll in school early, although some plan to start classes in January.
Recruits who don't sign during this week's three-day window still can make their commitment to a college official during college football's traditional signing period, which runs from the first Wednesday in February to April 1.
UTSA still has four scholarships available, Wilson said, and will focus on signing a veteran quarterback. Dalton Sturm, the Roadrunners' starting quarterback most of the past three seasons, completed his eligibility this year.
"We're so youthful there," Wilson said, referring to the quarterback position. "If I can get a transfer, a JC guy, something like that would be ideal. We still don't have the maturity at that position group that you would want. If we took another one, it would probably be someone who is seasoned, that we thought could come in and compete early on for playing time, as we allow the development of our youth to take its place."
Stevens graduate Bryce Rivers, who played sparingly as a freshman this season, and redshirt freshman Frank Harris, a former standout at Clemens, will be among the players competing for the starting job at quarterback.
The Roadrunners will announce its complete 2018 signing class on Wednesday, Feb. 7. But the bulk of the recruiting for this year already has been done.
"We had an obligation to do our part to solidify our class, so we made the most of it to the best of our ability," Wilson said, referring to the early signing period.
UTSA did not receive a bowl invitation this season despite finishing 6-5. The Roadrunners were 5-2 with four games left in the regular season, but went 1-3 in November and didn't get their sixth victory until their next-to-last game.
UTSA failed to score a touchdown in its last two games and ended the season with a 20-6 road loss to Louisiana Tech, which held the Roadrunners to a season-low 201 yards. Wilson fired offensive coordinator Frank Scelfo the next day.
Wilson led UTSA to its first bowl game last year in his first season with the Roadrunners. UTSA finished 6-7 after losing to New Mexico 23-20 in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
The Roadrunners started this season 3-0, but lost their two next games by a combined five points and went 3-5 in Conference USA, finishing fifth in the West Division. UTSA became bowl eligible with a 9-7 victory against Marshall, kicking a field goal with two seconds left.
One of the bright spots for the Roadrunners was their defensive unit, which was anchored by C-USA Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Davenport, an end who graduated from Stevens.
Led by defensive coordinator Pete Golding, UTSA finished the season eighth in scoring defense (17.0), second in first downs defense (166) and 19th in pass efficiency defense (112.19).
Golding was hired as a defensive assistant coach at Alabama last week.
Wilson was asked how difficult it was to prepare for the early signing period without having an offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator on his staff.
"It is challenging," Wilson said. "It was one of those things where it's always concerning to parents when transition happens, especially at those positions. I think it's imperative at that point to get into those homes and assure those parents and that prospect that the leadership of this program is intact, and the things that we're going to do will be intact, and that the culture of our program is intact."

As some of you may know, I am an avid hater of the Starbucks experience and everything Starbucks related. I'm about to relate another great example of why I hate Starbucks, in addition to the stuck up, superficial, tofu-eating hippies, metro-/homo-sexual males with the black rimmed rectangular glasses who waste their time reading their "uber-intellectual" books, and I can't forget the VW Beetle-driving, cat-worshiping, gossip circles of feminist women.


text: Hi my hubby was diagnosed with lung,liver,bone and spine cancer on the 27/0917 he died on 28/09/17 he only lasted 30 days from being diagnosed. Really can't get our head around this. He was still working just felt tired went to docs they said he had pneumonia and did a chest X-ray. Then said he needed an urgent scan was done the same day. He was referred to oncologist straight away, i was still thinking he would get treatment, but wasn't to be was told it was to far gone could only keep him comfortable. He went in to the hospice two days before he died. His oncologist and the doctor he saw in the hospice asked for a post-mortem to see if their was an underlying issue. So he has had that but won't get results till December. Just feel so sad never imagined him not being here. Can't imagine life without him.

I'm going to have to return a bag I ordered and have on the way in order to get the soho hobo bag in that same rose.

Lukas Podolski looks hungry for business after opening a kebab shop in Cologne
It's not his first venture into the food business either.
While many people reach for a kebab at the end of a night out, Lukas Podolski has made a big investment in the dish towards the end of his football career.
The 32-year-old, who played youth-team football for Cologne, returned to the city to open his own kebab restaurant called Mangal Doner.
A night to remember in Cologne, the beginning of a new fun chapter. The best döner out there. Thank you all for coming and I hope you enjoyed it ! 👍🏻😋 #Mangal #Döner #Poldi #Gazver #Dönercipoldiusta pic.twitter.com/OIvkbeLU8j— Lukas-Podolski.com (@Podolski10) January 6, 2018
"A night to remember," the forward who currently plays for Vissel Kobe in Japan, said.
It would certainly have been memorable for those in the surrounding area, as hundreds of people gathered to watch the 2014 World Cup winner open the eatery.
With queues reportedly forming for hours beforehand, business was presumably booming on day one.

Köln'de yaptığımız yeni ve eğlenceli başlangıcın ilk adımı için unutulmaz bir gece oldu, Almanya'nın en iyi döneri burada! Açılışımıza gelen başta Galatasaray taraftarları olmak üzere, tüm Türk misafirlerimize teşekkür ederim. Umarım keyif almışsınızdır. #dönerburadayenir #dönercipoldiusta #afiyetolsun 🇹🇷😋 @mangal_doener
And the former Arsenal striker has experience in the industry too, having opened another shop in Cologne called Ice Cream United in 2017.
No prizes for guessing what they sell.
He's always been hungry for goals, but now it seems he's just plain hungry.

We all want to live better. Simple things are primary, of course: we all want to have enough food, water and shelter to get by, and we want to be safe. But once these basic needs are met we have a yearning to have more. We want a nicer home in a better neighborhood, we want a car (and then a better car), we want our children to have the best clothing, toys and education… we always want more. And it is alright to want better for your family, to want to enjoy the life that you work hard for. But to have the lifestyle that you want – a comfortable home, a nice car, money to do the things that you enjoy – you need to work hard and invest well.
In this article we consider four ways that you can invest your money to make yourself wealthier in the near future or secure your wealth into retirement.
- Invest in gold.
Precious metals are an age-old, but still very lucrative, investment. There is only so much gold in the world and yet it has so many uses in modern times. Sure, people pay a lot for gold jewelry, but it is also used in various types of technology. In fact, gold is becoming more and more commonly used in technology, which is part of why the price has been soaring up in recent years.
- Buy the best stocks.
The stock market can be a scary place, but it can also be a lucrative place. Google stock, for example, soared well over a thousand percent in the first ten years. This means that if you invested one thousand dollars with Google when they first went public you could have stock worth over a million dollars in just ten years – amazing. Of course, losses can be just as sobering. This is why it is important to diversify and research your stocks. Researching stocks means understanding the company that you are buying into, the history of the stock, and their potential in the future. Diversifying means buying stocks of different types, for example, not putting all your money into oil companies or technology stocks. If you are not financially savvy then seek the advice of an investment advisor, but choose one that you pay by the hour not on commission.
- Invest in structured settlements.
If you have a bit of extra money now and you want to invest it for a higher return in the future then consider this: many people want to sell structured settlements to get cash now. These are people who are sitting on annuities from lawsuits that they won, or from lottery winnings, and they want to get cash in hand now. You can work with a company to safely purchase these future payments, guaranteeing you a nice income stream in the future for cash output now.
- Buy a property and rent it.
Real estate is always a smart investment. While there can be short term highs and lows, over time real estate almost always increases in value. One great way to make money is to buy a building and then rent it out for an amount above what it costs you. This way you pay the building off with rent money and put a few extra dollars in your pocket now: it's an investment that pays now and later.
Living well doesn't have to mean being rich or owning a mansion. But it does mean setting your own goals for what living well means to you and then working to achieve them. Smart investments can help you to achieve those goals.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'General Hunting' started by Nock, Aug 15, 2017.
Been watching every day for past week or so. Probably harvest some soon.
Chicken of the woods.
I to have been watching a spot I drive past each day, expecting a "chicken" to sprout. It appeared two days ago. Stopped and gathered enough for a meal last night.
How much do you take?
LOL..glad someone knows which ones to pick and ones not to pick. Myself I would be in the latter group and eat something that would make me see little green men everywhere.
I took about a third of what was up, a good skillet full.
It easy to gather more "chickens" or "hens" and put in frig or freezer than we will consume.
Whats the name of that fungus? Good pics to help identifiy them a bit better?
Yeah that pic sucks. I'll take a better one this afternoon. I plan getting some of it. That is sulpher shelf. Or chicken of the woods.
Can you freeze them for later use if you collect a large one? I picked one last year that was huge. Cooked a good deal of it but didn't want to eat it every meal, lol. It started not tasting as good after a few days and we pitched the rest.
Will they turn orange when they mature? Maybe they are orange already but I can't really tell.
As promised a better pic. I'm not sure on the freezing part. I'd say so.
What's these mushrooms taste like,only mushrooms I've ever eat are morels.And how do you fix to eat
I'm wondering this too. Been working with some guys that were talking about this earlier this week and was wondering how you prepared it. Same as morels?
I find a lot of them but have never ate any of them.
Little info on these

A Future Zombie City?
(Image by Hampton Institute) Permission Details DMCA
Reprinted from http://www.hamptoninstitution.org/zombie-scarcity.html
Dystopian narratives have long been an alluring and thought-provoking form of entertainment, especially for those who take an interest in studying social and political structures. From classics like Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World to the current hit, The Hunger Games, these stories play on our fears while simultaneously serving as warning signs for the future.
Their attractiveness within American society is not surprising. Our lives are driven by fear. Fear leads us to spend and consume; fear leads us to withdraw from our communities; and fear leads us to apathy regarding our own social and political processes. This fear is conditioned as much as it is natural. The ruling-class handbook, Machiavelli's The Prince, made it clear: "Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved."
The idea of apocalypse is a central tenet of human society. We've been taught about Armageddon, Kali Yuga, Judgement Day, Yawm ad-Dīn, nuclear holocaust, the end times, the four horsemen, and the Sermon of the Seven Suns. Hierarchical societal arrangements leave us feeling powerless. Exploitative systems like capitalism leave us feeling hopeless. And the widespread deployment of fear ultimately keeps us in our place, and out of the business of those who own our worlds.
The last half-century has brought us the zombie apocalypse - a fictional world where the human race has largely been transformed into a brainless, subhuman hoard of flesh-eaters, with only a few random survivors left to carve out any semblance of life they can find in a barren landscape. The emergence and immense popularity of the TV show The Walking Dead is the latest, and perhaps most influential, piece in a long line of narratives centered within themes of survival, human interaction, and scarcity.
Human Nature and Interaction
Behind all political battles, social critiques, and theoretical inquiries lies the most fundamental question: when left to our own accord, how will we interact with one another? How one answers this question usually goes a long way to how one perceives the world, and how issues are viewed and opinions are formed. To our dismay, potential answers are typically presented in dualities. Are we good or evil? Competitive or cooperative? Generous or greedy? Violent or peaceful?
A common theme among religion has been that human beings are "born into sin" and heavily influenced by "evil forces" to do harmful things. One who embraces this theme will tend to have less faith in humanity than one who does not. For, if we really are engaging in a daily struggle to resist the powers of evil, it is reasonable to assume that evil will take hold of many. How can we trust anyone who, at a moment's notice, could potentially lose the ability to act on their own conscience? The common theme of our dominant economic system - capitalism - is that human beings are inherently competitive and self-centered. When combined, it is easy to see how such ideologies may create intensely authoritative and hierarchical systems. After all, people who are influenced by strong and evil metaphysical forces while also being drawn toward callous, self-interest certainly cannot be trusted with free will.
This lesson is drilled deep into our psyches with each episode of The Walking Dead, where the potential threat of flesh-eating zombie hoards become an afterthought to the clear and present danger of "evil" humans who are out to get one another. Whether it's a sadistic governor charming an entire town with violent gladiator events, an outlaw gang with the obligatory pedophile, or a pack of hipster cannibals salivating at the thought of eating their next visitor, the intended theme is clear - human beings are not capable of co-existing, even in a world where they rarely interact.
But is this idea accurate? Are we really drawn toward conflict? Must we compete with one another to survive? Is it appropriate to apply Darwin's evolutionary theories in a social sense where the "fit" are meant to gain wealth and power over the "weak"? Or are we, as Peter Kropotkin theorized in his classic Mutual Aid, more inclined to mimic most other species on Earth, which have been observed over the course of centuries to exhibit "Mutual Aid and Mutual Support carried on to an extent which made me suspect in it a feature of the greatest importance for the maintenance of life, the preservation of each species, and its further evolution?"
There is ample evidence that we are drawn to cooperation. "Caring about others is part of our mammalian heritage, and humans take this ability to a high level," explains neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt. "Helping other people seems to be our default approach, in the sense that we're more likely to do it when we don't have time to think a situation through before acting. After a conflict, we and other primates-including our famously aggressive relatives, the chimpanzees-have many ways to reconcile and repair relationships." Studies have shown that in the first year of life, infants exhibit empathy toward others in distress. Evolutionary Anthropologist Michael Tomasello has put "the concept of cooperation as an evolutionary imperative to the test with very young children, to see if it holds for our nature and not just our nurture. Drop something in front of a two-year-old, he finds, and she is likely to pick it up for you. This is not just learned behavior, he argues. Young children are naturally cooperative."
So, if we are truly inclined to cooperate with one another, why is there so much division and turmoil in the world? The answer to this question may be found by assessing not only the mechanisms of capitalism, but more importantly in the creation of artificial scarcity as a means to maintain hierarchies.
Capitalism and Artificial Scarcity
It is no secret that capitalism thrives off exploitation. It needs a large majority of people to be completely reliant on their labor power. It needs private property to be accessible to only a few, so that they may utilize it as a social relationship where the rented majority can labor and create value. It needs capital to be accessible to only a few, so that they may regenerate and reinvest said capital in a perpetual manner. And it needs a considerable population of the impoverished and unemployed - "a reserve army of labor," as Marx put it - in order to create a "demand" for labor and thus make such exploitative positions "competitive" to those who need to partake in them to merely survive. It needs these things in order to stay intact - something that is desirable to the 85 richest people in the world who own more than half of the world's entire population (3.6 billion people).
But wealth accumulation through alienation and exploitation is no t enough in itself. The system also needs to create scarcity where it does not already exist. Even Marx admitted that capitalism has given us the productive capacity to provide all that is needed for the global population. In other words, capitalism has proven that scarcity does not exist. And, over the years, technology has confirmed this. But, in order for capitalism to survive, scarcity must exist, even if through artificial means. This is a necessary component on multiple fronts, including the pricing of commodities, the enhancement of wealth, and the need to inject a high degree of competition among people (who are naturally inclined to cooperation).
Since capitalism is based in the buying and selling of commodities, its lifeblood is production. And since production in a capitalist system is not based on need, but rather on demand, it has the tendency to produce more than it can sell. This is called overproduction. Michael Roberts explains:

Whether through desire conflicts, chronic dissatisfaction, affairs, or dysfunctions, sexual issues form a large part of every therapist's practice. Unfortunately, virtually all therapists have grown up in a sex-negative culture, which affects our work as much as it affects our clients' lives. And most therapists, as competent members of adult society, have many inaccurate assumptions about sexuality - which mirror the inaccurate assumptions that cause many clients' sexual problems in the first place.
In this course professionals learn a compelling new model of sexuality that focuses on its positive aspects; challenges clients' tendencies to self-identify as inadequate; sees society's sex-negativity as a source of psycho-sexual pathology; and confronts ways in which psychotherapy demonizes sexuality. Psychotherapists can learn to reframe clients' goals so that, when reached, they enhance rather than limit clients' satisfaction and growth. In so doing, therapists can empower clients to make better sexual choices, function more as they would like to, and better integrate eroticism into their relationships.
This intermediate level course is comprised of five hours of recorded live audio lectures with Dr. Marty Klein, esteemed sex expert, award-winning author, and long-time couples therapist (transcripts provided). The content is practical, funny, and honest. For psychotherapists ready to learn more about effectively addressing sexual issues in therapy, this is an excellent place to start or continue. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.

Science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C. Clarke died Wednesday, March 19 at the age of 90. A visionary who foresaw the advent of the telecommunications satellite, Clarke inspired generations of space enthusiasts and changed the public attitude toward space exploration. In his memory, we post a personal tribute from ScienceBlogger GrrlScientist and this article from the Fall 2004 issue of Seed.
Three months ago, on his 90th birthday, Arthur C. Clarke reflected on his life, expressed his hopes for the future, and discussed how he wants to be remembered.

Around December of this year, the much-heralded Cassini mission will speed past Saturn's enormous, planet-like moon Titan and deploy the Huygens probe. The clam-shaped device will then careen through Titan's murky atmosphere to land and gather data on what's now an unknown surface. Is it solid? Liquid? Oceans of oil? Nobody really knows, but secretly, everyone's hoping it's oil. The only thing certain is Huygen's fate: If the probe can survive the traumatic entry and landing, it will stay on the surface long after the mission—until its power runs out, its signal fades, and all systems go cold. Ideally, Huygens will commit mechanical suicide in a blaze of astronomical glory on a planet far from home, all in the name of science.
Now, logical minds have likely already started howling: "Suicide? Glory? It's a machine, jackass." True on both counts, but Huygens would not be the first probe to embark on a suicide mission. Most recently, NASA engineers and tacticians weighed the benefits and costs of sending the Mars rover Opportunity on a "suicide mission" into a crater it probably can't get out of. Fact-gathering entered the equation, but also at issue was the notion that the rover could be destroyed on the initial descent if the grade was too steep. All of this in spite of the fact that the Mars research team considers Opportunity's primary mission complete. Is it so hard for us to believe that members of the team on Earth had genuine emotional concern for the well-being of a nonliving extension of itself stuck on a remote rock?
Maybe it shouldn't be. Among his other prophecies, science fiction guru Arthur C. Clarke has surmised that as our thirst for exploration grows, we'll rely more and more on probes, satellites, robots, and other mechanical innovations to serve as our surrogates on other worlds. Over time, they will become so advanced and perceptive that our desire to send men afar will wane; these mechanical representatives of ourselves will become capable of conveying the richness of the beyond without the human risk. They will be nearly human, and infinity will come to your living room.
But Clarke's ideas bump up against an ugly and little-known conundrum called the Uncanny Valley. In 1978, the Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori coined the term when he noticed that the more humanlike his robots became, the more attracted people were to them—but only up to a point. If they became too realistic and lifelike, those feelings of affection and empathy immediately bombed and transformed into revulsion. This is the reason why C-3PO, a crude approximation of a human, seems cuddly and approachable, while the more realistic and emotive Sonny from I-Robot is creepy enough to induce vomiting. R2D2 trumps both, of course, and he's just a blippy trash can with trapezoidal tank treads for feet.
But until the day NASA develops humanoid space probes modeled after Al Roker, our affection for these assembled bits of wires, composites, and silicon will rise. After all, they carry our hopes and aspirations in the far-flung places we dream about, and they mirror our triumphs and failures with theirs. The tendency of these probes to break down at crucial moments, or fail altogether, only increases the attachment. No one feels the bond more acutely than the scientists in their company: To avoid contaminating the Jovian moon Europa, project leaders for the long-running satellite Galileo conceived of a "death drop" into Jupiter's superheated atmosphere. Hundreds of scientists gathered to witness the final minutes before the probe's disintegration, and many of them reflected on Galileo as if it had been a member of the family.
"It's almost like having a troubled child that ends up graduating from law school," said Claudia Alexander, Galileo Project Manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "You're so happy that it was able to overcome the difficulties, and it gave us a fabulous return."

Evolution -- Essays on Evolution - Darwiniana Essays
There are a management of nations that interpretations are used to problem but are excited using in spoken essay on evolution. Organizing a case means has never been a many reality. Pamela is an same false occurrence. Because of this, the different greeks became good essay on evolution readers.
Writing an Essay on Evolution | Write My Essay
Free Papers and Essays on Evolution
Charles Darwin did not formally publish on the topic of evolution until 1858, when excerpts from an essay he had privately written in 1844 and a portion of a letter to the American botanist Asa Gray were published along with Alfred Russel Wallace's formal manuscript on the mechanism of natural selection (click to read all three pieces) in the . Nevertheless, Darwin wrote extensively about evolution in his private notebooks beginning shortly after his return from the voyage of the Beagle in 1836. In 1842, he we wrote his first formal essay on evolution and this was expanded in 1844. These two essays were first published in 1909 (click to read). Between 1855 and 1858, Darwin worked on what became known as his "Big Species Book" which was subsequently abandoned when he learned that Alfred Russel Wallace had independently elucidated the principle of natural selection and there was a need for expeditious publication of his views. What came next, was the remarkable flurry of writing activity that resulted in , published in November of 1859 (click to read).
Human Evolution: Short Essay on Human Evolution
Writing an essay on evolution will be a fun essay to write, despite the theory of evolution still being supported by the facts available to us there are still those that do not feel that evolution is possible or real. Charles Darwin is most famous for writing about his theory of evolution and the "survival of the fittest." He showed how natural selection would favor those creatures whose differences gave them an advantage allowing those differences to become bred into the creatures over subsequent generations. However many saw his work as blaspheming against god and the idea of creation as described within the bible.
Based on various assumptions these theories could hold good or could seem full of holes so when writing an essay on evolution decide which school of thought you want to go with and work your way through the evolution essay with evidence and research supporting your stance. Evolution essay must be written sticking to certain styles of writing followed for essays as well. There will be a prescribed format for evolution papers. In general, an introduction to the evolution essay topic, an analysis of facts leading to a sound finding, conclusion to the evolution paper and finally a summary of the facts in the evolution essay would be the format for an essay.I really enjoyed . The story used many flashbacks to briefly show us some significant points in Darwin's career and for the most part presented them accurately. The script used many quotations from Darwin's letters and books to depict him truthfully. The high prevalence of infant mortality in the nineteenth century was dramatically illustrated. Darwin lost two sons in infancy, but the most devastating loss was his daughter Annie when she was ten. That was the end of whatever religious belief he had left. Anne Darwin--who was lovingly portrayed in the drama in flashbacks--was Darwin's favorite child. When she died of scarlet fever, he wrote in his personal journal, "We have lost the joy of the household, and the solace of our old age ... Oh that she could now know how deeply, how tenderly we do still & and shall ever love her dear joyous face." Annie died in 1851, seven years before the major events of the drama. The drama depicts the death of an infant son in 1858 in more detail.
The main story is Darwin's emotional reticence to publish his radical theory with all the evidence he had compiled that proved its truth. He knew there would be a public outcry and the prospect was unpleasant to him, since his wife was a religious believer as were other members of his family and friends, such as Charles Lyell and Joseph Hooker. Finally Wallace's letter forced him to publish. Darwin's friends Lyell and Hooker arranged to publish simultaneously Wallace's letter and Darwin's earlier written--but never published--essay on evolution. After this was done Wallace gave Darwin complete priority when he learned that Darwin had come to the theory 20 years earlier and was still compiling evidence for his "big book." This book was never published in Darwin's lifetime but parts of it were published in which Darwin quickly wrote using much of the information he had already compiled. The religious conflict between Darwin and his wife is mentioned but not really emphasized. Emma comes across as much more sympathetic to Charles and supportive of his goals than as someone who is hurt by his new scientific discovery that revolutionized the human relationship to nature and undermined Christian religious beliefs.
As is well-known, the joint publication of Darwin and Wallace's new hypothesis of natural selection had virtually no impact on biology, but Darwin's book about a year later finally had a major effect, since it had, in addition to proposing the hypothesis of natural selection in much greater detail, the much greater benefit of providing the abundant scientific evidence that species evolved, most of which was unknown to the public. Within a decade, evolution replaced creationism among almost all scientists and the educated public as the explanation for the origin of species, including humans. Natural selection, on the other hand, was not fully accepted by biologists until the 1930s, long after Darwin died.

Mural ideas
Murals can cover just about any subject with any level of detail and can be painted pretty much anywhere.
A mural can be used as a centerpieces or a background, to bring the outdoors in, to bring the hills of Tuscany into the desert of Arizona or a baseball star into a son's bedroom. Add a sky mural painting to a ceiling and suddenly you're dining al fresco. Paint a forest mural around your master tub and you can bathe in the peace of a woodland glade. And a full wall mural can bring the tranquility of a mountain lake touched by the afternoon sun into a home filled with troubled teenagers.
Window murals painted in the right place can open up a view in a way no wall hung painting can. Paint a mural in a niche and you can feel like you're looking into a different world – whether it be an Italian lake, a beach or a tropical island.
Sports wall murals are big for games rooms although the mural of Fenway Park was painted in a child's bedroom.
People usually have a clear idea of what they want in their mural, some even providing photographic references, but many need help with the specifics. So the first stage is often a sketch bringing together the different elements – although if the photographic references are good enough, I'll work direct from them and just prepare a full size working tracing.
Click on the mural images above for larger pictures and more detail about each project. Some of these are big files so they may take some time to show up.

R is for...Rain
So I'm a typical British citizen...I complain about the constant rain...although we've had lovely weather the last couple of days (fingers crossed) but I HATE rain! It's cold and wet and miserable! I hate wet feet and damn jeans that cling to your skin! But what I do love, is summer rain! When it's been unbearably hot for days on end, and you can feel a storm is in the air! And then...the heavens open and it tips it down, the most wonderful warm rain, that smells of summer! I love being caught in a summer storm! It happened a couple of years ago when I was still in school, and me and my friends just laughed and danced about in the rain!
With you I'd dance, in a storm in my best dress, fearless!!

They Totally Missed The Boat
Of course, it doesn't matter. I originally thought I'd search out the statistics of who buys Victoria's Secret, who are they marketing to? I couldn't find it within a couple Google pages, but I did run across this article from Business Week about their brand marketing manager. He manages to fill the article with lots of marketing talk, but I couldn't get past this one sentence: "I cannot imagine a better position coming out of business school. And let's be honest, working in an office filled with pictures of supermodels definitely has its benefits."
I'd be interested to know if he is a) married, and b) has daughters.
Here's the link to the article. I'd love to know what you think.
In the meantime, I will tell you my favorite part of watching these commercials is when my husband does the models voices. It's hysterical. I married the right man. He's sexy and funny and loves my body as much (and at times, more) than I do.

Okay...ummmmm I didn't see my body in the seven options. I wonder if they missed mine and the millions of other bodies that don't fit into their categorical boxes....

I'm sorry, weren't those pretty much ALL the same body? Glad he has several times a week to go out for an hour-long lunch and thinks it's important to one's well being. Hope he feels the same way about his secretary's well being...

yes, all the same body. what an absurd ad

I saw this article online a couple of days ago, and your post is the perfect place to call attention to it:
It seems only 17 year old girls with implants could possibly look like the Victoria's Secret models. For the rest of the women in the world, the commerical above is more realistic.

hey there -- posted in a hurry and missed Anne's comment on the very same video.
as I mentioned in my email I can vouch for the authenticity of the Lane Bryant video -- they're a client of ours.

I just read the BusinessWeek article, and here is how the author describes the VS customer base:
"...from the 20-year-old college student who adores our PINK line, to the 30-year-old mom who buys VS clothes online, to the empty nester who seeks Victoria's Secret to complement her young and sophisticated personality."
I do not fit any of those descriptions, which is why their ads / merchandise no longer appeal to me.
I have to confess, however, that before I had kids, there was a VS bra that I loved. It fit my body (at the time) very well - I owned it in every color they offered.
Since kids and aging have changed my body shape, they no longer offer anything that fits my current body.

Déjà vu for Trust as second Limekiln Public Local Inquiry approaches
Trust once again determind to stop this inappropriate wind farm development in Europe's largest expanse of blanket bog from going ahead
Later this year, for the first time the Trust will find itself defending the same area of wild land at a second Public Local Inquiry into a development that has previously been thrown out by Scottish Government Ministers.
Once again, the complex and costly process of defending wild land will begin again as the various parties argue at Inquiry whether or not it is appropriate to build a wind farm at Limekiln in Caithness - even though the development proposal is almost identical to the one which was rejected in 2015.
Limekiln wind farm would be sited right up against the boundary of Wild Land Area 39, East Halladale Flows. This area, lying at the northern-most tip of the Scottish mainland, is distinguished by extensive low lying peatland in contrast to many of the more mountainous Wild Land Areas. It also lies within the Flow Country, an area recognised as the largest expanse of blanket bog in Europe.
Of the 24 turbines, 15 would be at 139m high to blade tip and 9 turbines would be at a maximum of 126m high to blade tip. The Trust was a leading objector at the original Public Local Inquiry in 2014 and, as the re-submitted proposal remained the same as the original, objected to the repeat application last year.
In February this year, a further Inquiry was triggered after Highland Councillors objected to the proposal. We do not believe there is anything relevant or new that supports the case for this wind farm to be approved second time around and will, once again, fight hard to stop this inappropriate development from going ahead.
The first stage of the Inquiry begins with a Pre-Examination Meeting on Thursday 31 August in Reay or Thurso. At this stage the venue has not been finalised so please contact Mel Nicoll Campaigns Co-ordinator nearer the time if you are interested in attending as an observer and would like final details.
Extended – or second - Public Local Inquiries into developments like Limekiln show that current Scottish Government policy where wild land is concerned is not strong enough. Scotland's wild land is a finite resource and developments such as these should be refused automatically because their impacts on Wild Land Areas cannot be sufficiently minimised.

Fiat Punto
The first generation of the Punto Fiat appears in 1993, second is born in 1999, being I coat for the last time has about one year and way. The third generation of the Punto will go to be available in the chasses of 3 and 5 doors, have a bold image, being well-known the influences of the "older brother" Chrome, and the increase of its dimensions. Its compact aspect, the enormous vidradas surfaces, the front lighthouses in almond form, and new logótipo in the back (where ` P ' of Punto remembers a person in conduction position), is some of the distinguishing characteristics of the new model. As we know, also its rivals Renault Clio and Toyota Yaris see developed its platforms and consequentes interior quotas, in favor of a superior habitability. The Auto Fiat did not disponibilizou photos of the interior of the new model but, certainly the quality of the materials will have been reviewed, and, the Italian style and the porting environment certainly will on board not be forgotten.
For Punto III, the appositive transalpina mark in five motorizations, two the gasoline and the three gasóleo, folloied for four equipment levels. Block 1,2 starts to debit 65 CV, while the great newness is the estreia of new block 1,4 of 77 CV. Later, in the case of the engines diesel, known the 1,3 Multijet will be commercialized with the power of 75 and 90 CV, while most powerful Multijet of 120 CV is the 1,9.
In one second phase, in the 2006 end, an engine 1,6 Multijet of 100 CV is waited, while the version Punto GT will receive the Abarth assignment and a propellant with a power next to 180 CV.
E if in terms of engines exists some new features of weight, constructed Punto III in the plant of Melfi, where also the Lancia Ypsilon is constructed, it bets everything in obtaining good results in the EuroNCAP tests, and, clearly, in being vendido the concorrenciais prices. The Fiat has notion of the importance that this model has for its current accounts.

My family has been working with Joan Schwartz for almost 15 years. From my honeymoon in Bali, to my parent's 50th anniversary aboard the QE2, to our family Disney World trips, to a couples "get away" in the South of France, Joan has consistently exceeded our expectations, she understands when you can spend, and when you are on a tight budget. She also makes certain that you and your loved ones are treated like royalty wherever you go."
We had a wonderful trip. A real life experience. This trip rates up there as one of our favorites. Everyday was a highlight and exciting. The accommodations at every stop were first class. The food was excellent. We ate mostly at our hotels. Angkor Wat is the ultimate of all stops, our Cambodia guide was the best. Our guide in Saigon was also excellent.

Vodafone chief executive Russell Stanners has sharply rebutted claims by TelstraClear that a "deliberate last-minute change" to roaming arrangement by his company forced the closure of a wireless network pilot in Tauranga. TelstraClear Chief Executive Allan Freeth said earlier today an eleventh hour change to roaming arrangements forced the company to halt its pilot project. "We had a national roaming agreement and an additional agreement to make the changes that would allow us to deliver Unplugged. We proceeded on that basis," Freeth said. "We even provided a joint statement to the Commerce Commission setting out that we had agreed the changes necessary for Unplugged to launch," he said. Freeth said the pilot network had been on track for a July launch to deliver a mobile/broadband service to homes and businesses in Tauranga but Vodafone's late change forced TelstraClear into an "untenable position". However, Stanners this evening responded saying nothing has changed in the agreement Vodafone signed with TelstaClear to provide mobile roaming.
"Vodafone is struggling to understand why TelstraClear has suddenly decided the agreement is unsatisfactory and why there has been no direct communication between the companies prior to this public attack. It was signed on March 15 and until late last week Vodafone was working closely with TelstraClear at a technical implementation level to deliver the service," he says.
Vodafone says it can only speculate there are other reasons for TelstraClear's decision which the company is seeking to mask by blaming an innocent party.
"This is not the first time that TelstraClear has pulled out of investment and blamed other players in the market," Stanners says. Freeth says TelstraClear will now focus its investment on its fixed line business and investigating opportunities created by the unbundled local loop.
