Michael Lind from Salon magazine wrote a ridiculous article the other week, so I've decided to ridicule it. The article, which you can readhere, is titled "The Question Libertarians Just Can't Answer." According to Lind, that question is "If your approach is so great, why hasn't any country in the world ever tried it?"
That's it? That's the stumper, Mike? Of all the possible angles from which one might attack libertarianism, a grade-school logical fallacy is the best you can come up with? To quote Will from Good Will Hunting, "that's a tough one – but I'll take a shot."
First off, the entire argument Lind derives from his question is a non-sequitur anyway. Even if we didn't have an answer to why governments have so far been unreceptive to libertarianism, it does not follow that libertarianism is a bad idea. Many good ideas take a while to catch on (not just in governance, but also in art, technology, etc.). There was a time when none of the nations on earth had implemented the abolition of slavery. There was a time when no nation had an Air Force. There was a time when no government had legalized gay marriage. When Martin Luther posted the 95 theses on a church door in Wittenburg, not a single country had tried Protestantism before. This does not mean his concerns were invalid, or that challenging the Catholic Church's immoral practices was a bad idea. Sometimes old problems are solved, and conditions improved, by adopting a new approach. But that can't happen if the only ideas people are willing to consider are the ones which have already been tried. It amuses me that so-called progressives, the supposed champions of bold ideas designed to move society forward into the 21st century, now view "it hasn't been done before" as a reason not to do something.
But just to humor him, I'll answer his question anyway. The short answer to to why no country has tried full-blown libertarianism is that powerful people are extremely reluctant to relinquish their power, such that they will ignore, dismiss, refuse to consider, or even attempt to silence any worldview which challenges that power. This is for at least three reasons:
But just to humor him, I'll answer his question anyway. The short answer to to why no country has tried full-blown libertarianism is that powerful people are extremely reluctant to relinquish their power, such that they will ignore, dismiss, refuse to consider, or even attempt to silence any worldview which challenges that power. This is for at least three reasons:
- Power can be used to confer material benefits on the holder.
In the olden days, this manifested itself as outright corruption: the
transfer of money directly to a politician in exchange for voting or
acting in a certain way. But in the modern world, you needn't pass
briefcases in smoke filled rooms to win political favors from government
officials. Those with wealth or connections use government to protect
their business and profit interests all the time. At first this was mere
necessity – the government had become involved in so many things that
companies needed lobbyists just to ensure their competition didn't write
all the rules. But today, those with enough sway to win this rigged game
have found they rather like this shortcut, because it allows them to
bypass the challenges of competition on an open market. Open market
companies have to compete with China; politically involved companies get
tariffs to keep Chinese goods out. Open market charities have to convince
people to donate; politically authorized charities get taxpayer funding. Why
risk failure when you can craft regulations or rewrite the rules to guarantee
your success? Libertarianism would end all these special privileges and handouts,
so it's not good news for those with enough power and connections to get
Of course, it would be great news for everybody else. Cronyism carries real costs for the majority of the population: higher taxes, higher prices on consumer goods, etc. But unfortunately for libertarians, these costs are dispersed among many, whereas the benefits bestowed by government are concentrated among a few. The brilliant Tom Woods elaborates on this principle here. It'd hard to get the average American riled up just because manufacturing goods cost an extra 25 cents. But those whose fortunes are built on big government have an enormous vested interest in its perpetuation, so they're willing to put forth enormous effort into convincing people that small government would be chaos. Those in power have both an incentive and a means to oppose the implementation of libertarian ideas, and so far, they've succeeded.
- Power enables people to get their way. Oftentimes, people disagree. Sometimes these disagreements are fact-based, such that one party is right while the other is wrong. But other times, disagreements result from different worldviews, or from subjective moral opinions. It would be great if everyone was mature enough to accept those differences and get along, but the unfortunate reality is that many people are not. Like bickering siblings, many people who are confronted with beliefs or practices they dislike feel a natural inclination to impose their will on others. Government allows them to do this, because only government can use force to change the behaviors of other people. Don't like Mexicans? Government can force them to leave the country. Don't like drugs? Government can punish those who do. Don't like greedy rich people? Government can force them to give to the poor. Those in power get to impose their personal worldview on everyone else, and that's a tempting prospect. Libertarianism wouldn't let them do that anymore, so in order to keep doing it, they must oppose libertarianism.
- Power carries a great deal of prestige, such that those who hold it often cling to it as a matter of personal pride. Those in a position of power are usually respected and venerated members of their community – much more respected than they were before their election. Additionally, rising to that position can be extremely difficult, requiring lengthy political campaigns or a long career of promotion through a competitive bureaucracy. The result is that once someone finally rises to the top of the political food chain, they often become intoxicated by their own importance, which influences the way they view the world.
Once a leader incorporates his or her right to hold their position as a part of their identity, their self-esteem requires that position to be honorable, important and necessary. Proud people are resistant to the notion that their services may not be required. No policeman likes to think that the laws they enforce are immoral. No tax collector likes the idea that no taxes need to be collected. No economist likes the thought that the economy might not need to be managed. No general wants to be told that the war he manages is counterproductive and unnecessary. Everyone wants to feel important, and nobody wants to view themselves as the problem. Since libertarians view government as the problem, members of government take it as an insult, and their defensiveness leads them to reject it. It is uncomfortable for people to consider the idea that their life's work was for naught; rejecting that thought preemptively is much easier, because it avoids the cognitive dissonance that results from challenging perspectives.
This is also why no bureaucracy ever voluntarily cuts its own funding. When a government agency has a job opening, the applicants for that position are disproportionately likely to support that agency relative to the general population; those who disagree that the agency is necessary probably wouldn't have applied for the position. This is called volunteer bias, and it's a big part of the reason government is so hard to shrink. Any cuts to any part of government are protested vociferously by those in that part, because by the nature of their employment there, they've come to view that part as extremely important.
Those who view the state as an effective solution for society's problems like to imagine that policy is formed by wise and benevolent leaders, motivated by nothing but selfless concern for their people's wellbeing. This is naïve. The aforementioned truths demonstrate that personal biases often prevent governments from acting in accordance with what's best for their subjects. Ultimately, governments consist of people, and people are frequently selfish, vain, greedy and mistake prone. The political left, of which Mr. Lind is a proud member, is the first to point this out in the private sector. But perplexingly, they seem convinced government officials are made of a different moral fiber than the rest of us. When wrongdoing is unearthed outside of government, they view it as proof that people are too evil to live without the protection of these caring few. But when scandal after scandal emerges among those leaders, it is viewed as an unfortunate exception to the rule, rather than the rule of human nature itself. In order for our society to truly progress, progressives must learn that the people in government are every bit as vain, corruptible, dishonest, and self-interested as the people outside of it.
To be clear, libertarianism faces many challenging questions from many intelligent people. These people have valid reasons for skepticism. It is not a foolproof solution or a bulletproof ideology. But if the left is looking for some kingmaker argument to leave us stuttering all over ourselves, they're going to have to do much better than this.

The party had no more finished their graduation ceremony when a lone rider galloped into town, bloody and panicked.
An emissary from Salt Ridge had been expected to discuss her people's entry into the alliance. On the road, her entourage was attacked and she was taken captive by a band of goblins who fled into the swamp.
The party was immediately ordered to pursue the goblins and rescue the emissary. Warily, the party tracked the goblins through the swamp, hoping to avoid the local lizardfolk. However they did stumble upon a couple of lizardfolk hunters and were forced to fight.
The party scraped through the swamp to find the goblins had made it to the river and were hiding out in an old river barge. Launching a surprise assault, they defeated the goblins and rescued the emissary, a shifter named Autumn

The Singapore Army Half Marathon 2007
Ths Army Half Marathon this year was to be held in conjunction with the Singapore Bay Run, and the finish point was to be the temporary Spectator Grandstand by the Marina Bay. The route this year was to be revised after last year's fiasco, and lots of runners were looking towards it. With my reduced training this year, I was just hoping to do 1hr45min....more important was Beverly's maiden AHM, and I was hoping she could go below 2hr10min.
DO, Bev and I arrived at Marina Square at 4.10am, and made our way to the Grandstand...the finish looked rather narrow, but the spectator gallery looked pretty majestic. As we walked towards the start point near the Esplanade, we met many SAFRA Runners, SgRunners and other running friends...Wong, Peter, Freddy, RealRunner, Ultraman, IMD, Yee Hua, Balasing, among others. I did a short warm-up, and light stretches, before proceeding to the start line. The start/finish this year for competive and non-competitive were segregated, allowing for a much more organized event.
The horn sounded at 5.30am sharp, and we went on a relatively fuss-free start. With the competitive runners lined up in front, there wasn't much of a 'jam' as we turned into Cross Street, and then Chinatown. There were pacers this year for 2hr, 2:15 and 2:30, but they did not seemed to be an organized bunch, with many of them running disparately and at different range of paces....there were some 2hr pacers running at a sub 5-min pace, which I thought were excessive. As we ran up the Sheares' Bridge, things became quite smooth as some of those that started too fast fell back. I was a little surprised to see MR25's Lim Lian Hock running at that pace...probably a Sunday stroll for him today, although he did move up after a while.
Down the Bridge and into Fort Road, I trailed JJ most of the way and was maintaining a 4:50min/km pace...hoped to maintain that pace for as long as I could. Into Fort Road and along ECP, the front-runners (Indian Army I heard) came zooming out...wow, very fast, much faster than our local runners...and they looked so nonchalant, running as a group of 5-6. I upped the pace slightly, and overtook a few runners, and crossed the 10km mark in 48min+...quite happy with that, as I sipped on my powergel mix. I was happy when we finallly turned around at C4 area, and I could see a stream on people coming in on the other side. It was hard for me to make out people in the darkness of dawn...I continued to move so as not to slow down too much.
Up to 15km, I still had a 2min buffer in the bank, and I knew I had to stretch that buffer further if I hoped to do my PB. I calculated that it would not be at this race, as I was barely maintaining a sub 5min/km pace. Many of the runners were starting to push, with some trailing off as their 'energy' levels tapered off. Roda and JJ were in front by about 100m, as we exited ECP onto Mountbatten Road. I could make out Anna from aniMILES, and I attempted to run abreast her for a bit. I then went forward as we ran into Nicholl Highway. With 4km to go, I was feeling a strain on my 'tank'....I wished I had more gels to provide extra 'power', but there was none already. I had to draw on my remaining reserves to pull me through the final 3km up and down Nicholl Highway.
I could hear Music blaring in the distance, and the cheer groups were out in force. First light had broken as we ran the seemingly endless final stretch. I wanted to push, but was just happy to maintain pace, as some stronger runners overtook me. I tried to maintain a reasonable distance as I continued to push on. IMD overtook me at the final 1.5km, and I gestured him to move up. From there, I just kept up the pace to the final km. My watch read 1hr38min. I just wanted to finish the run in good form, and steadied myself all the way, and slowed down at the finish with my hands raised for some good pictures. My watch time showed 1hr42min, the chip timing could at best be 1hr41min.
Realized only much later that many fellow runners were just behind me...cfred, SC5, notme, DO and whoever else that did not tell me...haha...real close, these speed animals. I was just expecting someone familiar to touch my back at the final 2km stretch...Downed 3 cans of 100plus, a banana, returned the Championchip and collected finisher's medal. I went back to the finish line to wait for Beverly...spoke with Tekko and Cheow12, who were also waiting for their ex-gf to return. Bev finally came in with a PB of 2hr4min...a very good timing, given that this was only her second half marathon. Well done.
After doing warm downs, and replenishing with 100plus, we joined the SAFRA Running Club and SgRunners for group photo sessions. It was a good time to catch up with some of the running kakis whom I have not met for some time. We basked a bit in the sun, chatting, taking photos, catching up. Went for makan at Marina Food Square, and will proceed to attend the Nike Running Fit talk, after washing up and having a short rest at home. With the AHM out of the run calendar, the next run will be next Sunday's MR25 30km Progressive Run, and then more training for SCSM07...looking forward to some long, slow and tempo runs. Will also take some time out to join in SCSM Pacer training as well as participate in more fun runs.
Distance: 21,1km__Time: 1hr42min__Pace: 4:50min/km

Van Nuys
Located in the heart of the beautiful San Fernando Valley, Van Nuys is home to approximately 100,000 people. Van Nuys Boulevard was the place where people liked to cruise in their vehicles, during the 1960′s and 1970′s.
These days, Van Nuys Boulevard is famous for the amount of car dealerships, which has been dubbed "Auto Row." In 1911, lot sales attracted many residents to the new town of Van Nuys, which was named after Isaac Van Nuys.
Isaac Van Nuys was a participant in a ranching enterprise called the 'San Fernando Homestead Association,' a group that purchased most of the southern San Fernando Valley in 1869 to run sheep, and grow grain. Van Nuys is also famous for building the first wood framed house in the San Fernando Valley, in 1872.

Can you tell me something that you never get back? Something that is gone whether you use it effectively or not? If you said time then you're right. It amazes me these days that people constantly claim they don't have enough time yet they fill their existence with useless and wasteful activities. In a era when technology is supposed to set us free what people don't seem to realise is that they are becoming more and more a slave to it.
Most modern technology is designed to be interrupt driven. It is designed to make you stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to it. Don't believe me? What do you do when your mobile phone rings? Answer it. What do you do when an email comes into your inbox? You stop what you are doing to read it. You allow yourself to be on instant messenger not to keep in touch but to allow other people with nothing better to do to interrupt you. Look at things like Facebook and Twitter (which I have been evaluating recently). Are these productivity tools? In some cases maybe but I can tell you I'm sick of getting poked, asked to play Texas Hold'em poker and fight it out in Dope Wars. Don't you people have anything better to do?
See what I mean? We are allowing technology to dominate our lives. We are allowing it to dictate what we are doing. How the hell can you hope to produce anything of quality when you are constantly being interrupted? Don't forget it is not just the interruption that you have to deal with it is the requirement to get back to what you are doing that also takes time. The crazy thing is that technology actually allows us to be in control but we don't seem to use it. Mobile phones have voice mail, emails get saved until we need them and so does stuff on Facebook and Twitter. We however seem in such an almighty rush to respond to thing immediately.
One of the best books I have read recently is The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. He argues we should be working less and enjoying life more. He argues that most people are simply seeking to interrupt your day because they are bored and need something to do and worst of all they expect an instantaneous response. If you read the book and then step back and think about what he is saying you'll find it makes a lot of sense. We all have a 'dance card' (hours in the day) that only is so big and we can only fit so much on it. You need to decide the highest value items that are going on the card and accordingly the lowest value items that don't belong on the list. The only way you are going to fit more onto your 'dance card' is to be more efficient with your time and guess what? Some stuff just ain't going to fit on!
My advice is to start valuing your time more, because if it has no value then you'll give it away for free and people will just keep coming back for your handouts. Focus on what you want to achieve and plan to achieve it. Ask yourself if you are making the best use of your time because, guess what? Even if you aren't you are never going to get it back again!

Linux, politics, and other interesting things
I just read an interesting article by Brian Krebs about the difficulty in replacing credit cards [1].
The main reason that credit cards need to be replaced is that they have a single set of numbers that is used for all transactions. If credit cards were designed properly for modern use (IE since 2000 or so) they would act as a smart-card as the recommended way of payment in store. Currently I have a Mastercard and an Amex card, the Mastercard (issued about a year ago) has no smart-card feature and as Amex is rejected by most stores I've never had a chance to use the smart-card part of a credit card. If all American credit cards had a smart card feature which was recommended by store staff then the problems that Brian documents would never have happened, the attacks on Target and other companies would have got very few card numbers and the companies that make cards wouldn't have a backlog of orders.
If a bank was to buy USB smart-card readers for all their customers then they would be very cheap (the hardware is simple and therefore the unit price would be low if purchasing a few million). As banks are greedy they could make customers pay for the readers and even make a profit on them. Then for online banking at home the user could use a code that's generated for the transaction in question and thus avoid most forms of online banking fraud – the only possible form of fraud would be to make a $10 payment to a legitimate company become a $1000 payment to a fraudster but that's a lot more work and a lot less money than other forms of credit card fraud.
A significant portion of all credit card transactions performed over the phone are made from the customer's home. Of the ones that aren't made from home a significant portion would be done from a hotel, office, or other place where a smart-card reader might be conveniently used to generate a one-time code for the transaction.
The main remaining problem seems to be the use of raised numbers. Many years ago it used to be common for credit card purchases to involve using some form of "carbon paper" and the raised numbers made an impression on the credit card transfer form. I don't recall ever using a credit card in that way, I've only had credit cards for about 18 years and my memories of the raised numbers on credit cards being used to make an impression on paper only involve watching my parents pay when I was young. It seems likely that someone who likes paying by credit card and does so at small companies might have some recent experience of "carbon paper" payment, but anyone who prefers EFTPOS and cash probably wouldn't.
If the credit card number (used for phone and Internet transactions in situations where a smart card reader isn't available) wasn't raised then it could be changed by posting a sticker with a new number that the customer could apply to their card. The customer wouldn't even need to wait for the post before their card could be used again as the smart card part would never be invalid. The magnetic stripe on the card could be changed at any bank and there's no reason why an ATM couldn't identify a card by it's smart-card and then write a new magnetic stripe automatically.
These problems aren't difficult to solve. The amounts of effort and money involved in solving them are tiny compared to the costs of cleaning up the mess from a major breach such as the recent Target one, the main thing that needs to be done to implement my ideas is widespread support of smart-card readers and that seems to have been done already. It seems to me that the main problem is the incompetence of financial institutions. I think the fact that there's no serious competitor to Paypal is one of the many obvious proofs of the incompetence of financial companies.
The effective operation of banks is essential to the economy and the savings of individuals are guaranteed by the government (so when a bank fails a lot of tax money will be used). It seems to me that we need to have national banks run by governments with the aim of financial security. Even if banks were good at their business (and they obviously aren't) I don't think that they can be trusted with it, an organisation that's "too big to fail" is too big to lack accountability to the citizens.
actually, my bank (in Germany) offers a smart-card system for online banking. And it is even more secure than the system you describe: When I want to make an online bank transfer, the banking website shows flashing lights , which are read by the seperate smartcard reader by holding it to the screen. The smartcard reader than displays the beneficiary of the transaction and the amount to be transferred. If I put my credit card into the smartcard reader and confirm both the beneficiary and the amount, the smartcard reader displays a code valid only for this transaction.
This, in principle, does not even allow a MITM attacker to change a transaction of 10 € to someone into a transaction of 1000 € to someone else.
And since the smartcard reader is a seperate device, never connected to the computer and the only information transfer from the computer to the smartcard reader is via flashing lights (essentially the same as a QR code, but readable with less sophisticated imaging hardware) I have some hope that the implementation of the smartcard reader is easy enough such that the banks got that one right.
Sadly, not many banks offer this and my bank only uses this system for bank transfers, not for onlyine payment using my credit card (there, they use sms-tan where a TAN is send to me via SMS, which obviously is much less secure – and I totally hate that I paid for a smart card reader and can only secure half of my transactions with it…).
Also, it would be glorious if I had to give the smartcard reader my credit card _and_ pin in order to generate my tan (currently, my credit card is enough), but you can't have everything…
Not only are the problems not difficult to solve, they already have been solved and implemented. My bank in the Netherlands gives everybody a digipass reader like this. Normally I use it with my debit card to login on the bank website and make payments, but it can also be used for the MasterCard SecureCode system. To confirm the credit card payment I simply have to insert the card, type in my pin, type in the callenge number and I get a response number back that I have to enter. That way you need to have the card and know the PIN before you can do a payment, not just the CC number. And doing non-internet payments already requires the use of the EMV chip and your PIN code here. So the technology already exists, it just needs to be made a requirement by mastercard and visa.
With debit cards it is even beter, EMV is required in the whole EU so you can't do anyting with a skimmed magnetic strip in the EU anymore. This caused the criminals to move to countries outside the EU where magnetic strips were still in use to cash out, so last year most banks blocked the use of cards outside the EU by default and if you travel outside the EU you can easily activate it on the bank website.
In Mexico, for a couple of years already, all credit and debit cards have a chip on them, and most in-commerce terminals do have a reader that can accomodate both magnetic and electronic cards.
Last December, I was visiting our family in Argentina. There, the technology seems not to have been widely deployed as well — Cards with a chip are still a novelty, but in-commerce terminals already have the chip reader. Of course, it was a bit awkward to have to explain to almost all stores where I went with my (not very new) card that the bank was not declining the operation, but that instead, they should stick the card in the front slot and not just pass them on the magnetic reader.

Hey Guys,
So this is a little moan/ cry for help!
I have always used Tesco's thin blond non-metal hair bands for years and when I say years I mean like since I didn't go to Claire's Accessories every weekend..which is about 10 years. Now I would keep one on my wrist permanently and one hair tie would last me about 2 months before it came a bit loose and I'd change. I bought a packet about 4 months ago and a whole pack of about 20 lasted me the same amount as one used to, I just thought maybe it was a bad batch (sounds so weird 'bad batch of hair ties). I then bought another pack and these lasted even less. I've now bought some thicker non-metal ones in the hope they'll last me longer. But please such a strange question but any one know where to get some good hair ties? They just don't seem to be what they used to be.
Sorry for such a strange post, but if beauty bloggers can't help me who can eh? Looks like it's a down do everyday then :)

The main recognizable feature of a squonk mod is that it provides housing for an e-liquid bottle within its actual casing. A tube is attached to the bottle, providing a route to the 510 connection, ending at the hollowed 510 center pin. You must pair a squonk RDA with a squonk mod, providing the second half of the 510 connection. From there, the vape juice will arrive at the deck. Once it enters the deck, it soaks the wicking materials and eventually transforms into big, fluffy clouds of vapor.
One of the biggest benefits to a mechanical squonk mod is convenience. You don't have to deal with carting around your e-juice bottles, and you won't be constantly refilling your device either. A typical squonk mod bottle holds between 7 and 10 mL of juice, providing plenty of fuel for several sessions. Plus, unlike a typical RDA, you don't have to constantly drip – making a squonk mod much easier to use on the go.
If, like most vapers, you find leaking and over dripping to be a major annoyance, you'll be happy to hear that it isn't an issue with squonk box mods. Because of the special construction of these mods, excess vape juice that isn't absorbed by the wicking material simply drains back down into the bottle
Finally, you get to enjoy all the of the benefits that come with using any RDA, like excellent airflow, high vapor production, and top-notch flavor. You can still build and wick your own atomizer coils, which is a big plus for many vapers that choose the RDA route.
Like any vaping device, there are pros and cons to squonk mods. For most vapers who prefer squonking, the pros far outweigh the cons. Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of personal preference – you might find that you don't mind the unique aspects of working with a squonk mod, but it's important to inform yourself before purchasing.
One of the most important things to know about squonk mods is that they typically have a shorter battery life than standard mods. However, with the recent advent of the dual battery squonk mod, it's clear that steps are being taken to resolve this for vapers. Squonk mods also often use more vape juice than other mods, mainly because it makes the vaping process more convenient, which often increases your vaping frequency.
Finally, if you're looking for a regulated squonk mods, there are only a handful to choose from, because most are unregulated. However, the few that are out there are high-quality devices.
Generally, squonk mods are recommended for vapers with a bit of experience, because they do require a basic understanding of the inner workings of a vape device. Because you'll be building and wicking your own coils, you'll want to have a working knowledge of that process in order to create a positive and safe vaping experience.
However, if you are a new vaper and you still want to give squonk mods a try, there are a few things you can do to be successful. When you're searching for a box mod for sale, keep an eye out for a squonk mod kit, which can set you up with all the parts you need. Regulated squonk mods are another good option for newbie vapers.
Every single product you can find at VaporFi has been carefully selected for its key features and premium design. We refuse to carry cheaply-made knock offs, and you can be confident that you are purchasing products that are the best of the best.

How Can I Navigate a Sexual Relationship in a Dorm Without Alarming My Neighbors?
I'm almost 18 years old and I've been in a very happy, healthy relationship with a boy my same age. For the past year, we've been experimenting with spanking - it has been a fantasy of mine for my whole life. We've taken things slow, with lots of communication before and after we try new things, and all the necessary safety measures....

Socialist Party to help expats become Swiss
Members of Switzerland's Socialist Party (SP) are volunteering to be "naturalization advisers" under a new campaign to help foreigners in the country become Swiss citizens.
Announcing its 'More Swiss' campaign in a statement on Swiss National Day, August 1st, the party pointed out that a new federal law, due to come into force on January 1st 2018, will change the rules on obtaining Swiss citizenship.
Approved by the government in 2014, the new law will reduce the number of years a person must reside in Switzerland before applying for citizenship from 12 to 10.
But it will also specify that only holders of a C permit, meaning permanent residents, can apply.
Currently those with a B permit (granting temporary residency) may also apply, and the new law will deny some 650,000 foreigners in the country that right.
Overall, around two million residents in Switzerland do not have citizenship.

Lasagna with no pasta, super low carb! It's a simple recipe and delicious. The peppers bring a great taste to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
The recipe calls for:
4 large peppers (we used red)
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
ground meat
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1 cup part skin mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmasean cheese
italian seasoning
-- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put foil on a baking pan.
-- Slice the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds, etc. Place them on the baking dish and cook for 20 minutes.
-- Cook and brown up the meat in a pan. We used lean ground turkey. Add the sauce to the pan once the meat is fully cooked.
-- Layer the peppers with the meat/sauce mixture, then ricotta, more meat sauce and top with mozzarella cheese.
-- Bake on the middle rack for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with parmasean cheese and italian seasoning.
-- Bake for 5 more minutes on the top rack.

Personal History
|Personal History
|Born on the war-torn colony of Turkana IV Arseni became a victim of a broken system and was apart of a rape-gang at an early age. By age 16 he was one of the heads of the gang and a well known terrorist on the planet.
As fate would have it Turkana IV was raided by maquis terrorists looking for supplies and recruits. Arseni was captured as a "recruit" during this raid and for the first time he was exposed to the vastness of space.
Arseni embraced his maquis captors as friends, since he had always longed to be in space and free from the terrible activities of his gang.
He spent 3 years serving with the Maquis, before he was captured by the Federation in a failed raid on a Federation Outpost.
Arseni figured he would recieve a life of imprisonement for the lives he took in his terrorist activities. He had nothing to lose and told his captors about his involvement in rapes, murders, and tortures and Turkana IV hoping an end to his misery.
However, a female captor, who claimed to be a counsellor on-board a ship called the USS Enterprise met with him. She told him he was not responsible for his ways and he had good in him. Then she did something no one had ever did for him before. She offered him a choice. She would either try to get him released, clear his name and allow him to do as he saw fit or she would help him join starfleet academy.
He could not understand why a captor, a female captor at that, would offer him such choices. She intrigued him so much and he had always respected the skill of Starfleet while among the Maquis he decided to join the academy.
In the academy he knew he would excel at combat or security, but he wanted to move away from violence so he focused on science and ship operations. He found the work difficult, which forced him to focus and forget his dark past.
With this knew challenge and his destiny now in his hands he graduated top of his class.

Aeon Flux might be rubbish!?
Following the word that Charlize Theron only took the lead in Aeon Flux for the money comes this bit of news. In what is always a very bad sign, Paramount has decided not to screen Aeon Flux in advance for critics. This is usually a sign that the film will be an absolute stinker, and that they are trying to make a quick buck opening weekend before being savaged by the press. The Confirmation is below.Quote:Gareth- There is not a screener for AEON FLUX and it is not being screened for the press
Re:Aeon Flux might be rubbish!?Submitted by Mickey on Fri, 02/12/2005 - 02:04.
I hope it doesn't suck..
Re:Aeon Flux might be rubbish!?Submitted by Headgehog on Fri, 02/12/2005 - 04:56.
None of this surprises me. When I first started seeing ads on TV for the movie a month ago, I knew it was gonna be bad. As a rule of thumb; any TV spots, billboards or Bus ads so early is overcompensation and a sign that the movie will be okay at best.
And if that weren't enough, the trailers don't make me want to see the movie. It's really only because of this site's guide and an interesting premise/backstory on the official website that I'm going to see the movie.
I'll post my thoughts after I see it. Since I'm not expecting much, I might be wind up being pleasantly surprised
Translating AeonFlux to non-anime film is troublesomeSubmitted by Merton on Fri, 02/12/2005 - 11:59.
The appeal of AeonFlux, to me, is the raw sexuality and acrobatic prowess of the main charater (Aeon). The lithe, Peter Chung greated Egon Shiele inspired, bodies of all characters promoted the futuristic feel that kept me watching. The music melded with the visual feel in a way that I find hard to believe can ever be transmuted to fit any human character (except maybe Christian Bale in the Machinist - more spooky than SciFi).
I don't have high expectations for this film (although I will see it) and I await the full Peter Chung collection on DVD (unless it already exists - I haven't checked)
Re:Aeon Flux might be rubbish!?Submitted by thefrey on Fri, 02/12/2005 - 12:05.
Yup, no preview is a very bad sign.
Since the leading lady injured herself (let's face it for life) making it, I do hope it is not this years 'Istar'.
Re:Aeon Flux might be rubbish!?Submitted by lizard on Fri, 02/12/2005 - 19:28.
So far, the only bad sign I have seen is the StarTrek next generation type wardrobe. However, since the originator Peter Chung didn't have any artistic input I too am sceptical. I am planning to see the movie & hope to enjoy it in any case. Check out Peter Chungs commentary about how he would have liked to make an animated feature film of Aeon:
Re:Aeon Flux might be rubbish!?Submitted by Hollydays on Fri, 02/12/2005 - 21:09.
rubbish, eh?
oh well...if we saddies can love Lexx and Red Dwarf....
I checked out the "official" site and the wallpapers etc are quite cool and beautiful. A lot of CG money has been spent by the looks of it. I don't actually know anything about Aeon Flux but I did download the trailer and it looks like a scene from Dark Angel, a scean from matirx, a scene from ....
you get the idea.
I'll still be in line to see it though :)

RULA Common Lecture – September 25, 2013
Cook/Douglass Lecture Hall, Room 110, Cook Campus
Hans Hesselein graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture from North Carolina State University in 2004. He has spent time working internationally in Germany as well as at several domestic landscape architecture firms, including his most recent position as an Associate at Dirtworks, PC in Manhattan. Hans joined the Gowanus Canal Conservancy as the Director of Special Projects in December, 2010 and was asked to serve as Executive Director in 2013. Throughout his time at the Conservancy, Hans has been responsible for developing and managing green infrastructure projects, watershed planning initiatives and volunteer stewardship programming. Hans comes to the Conservancy with a strong background in horticulture, construction, community engagement and landscape architecture.
Presentation Summary:
Listed as a federal Superfund site in 2010, the Gowanus Canal is one of America's most polluted bodies of water and one of Brooklyn's hottest neighborhoods. Subjected to almost 200 years of industrial pollution and sewage overflows, it is also the subject of local folklore and affection. Join us for a presentation that will illuminate the complex natural history and cultural forces that shaped the Gowanus Canal, a discussion of what contamination exists, where it came from and what is being done to address it. The presentation will also explore the Gowanus Canal Conservancy's open space planning initiatives and volunteer program, which organizes direct-action stewardship events that are focused on cleaning and greening the watershed.
Gowanus Canal Conservancy Overview:
The Gowanus Canal Conservancy is a community-based non-profit organization that was formed in 2006 to serve as the environmental steward for the Gowanus Canal Watershed. Our vision is an open, clean and alive Gowanus Canal Watershed, which involves the following focus areas:
Making it open: Creating green space and park land along the Canal's shores.
Getting it clean: Ensuring the water, soil and air of the watershed are healthy.
Bringing it alive: Fostering ecological, business and cultural activity in the watershed.
Among our most significant current activities include the Conservancy's Clean & Green Volunteer Program (1,400 volunteers and 5,700 hours served over past 12 months), Green Infrastructure design and construction projects (about $1.6 million), open space planning initiatives (award-winning Sponge Park masterplan) and our compost program which provides rich compost to help restore soil health in public green spaces, parks and tree pits (100 tons processed in 2012).

Anyway, breastfeeding has its ups and downs but the downs have definitely been eased by helpful tools like HoneySuckle Breastmilk Storage Bags. Possibly the best milk storage bags ever!!! I am so happy with them, I had to share it over on my Instagram!
Piero will turn one month old this weekend! So I've started expressing my breast milk so we can start him on the bottle (so I can start having some sort of life outside the babies haha). I really love these Honey Suckle breast milk storage bags. They are the strongest and best storage bags in the world!!!
I've used a number of milk storage materials before but this is the first time I'm really liking the act of storing my milk, like, I really super enjoy it! Haha, I'm so babaw. But really, it's not so babaw especially when you want to make sure...
(a) Your precious breast milk doesn't get wasted by spilling out of leaky containers;
(b) Your milk stays pure and clean; and
(c) You have space in your freezer.
Here's what it looks like:
1. I love the design. It can lie flat in the freezer to save space, but the bottom opens up so you can make it stand on the counter. That way, when you're transferring milk into it, there's no spillage!
2. It has two seals to ensure no spills whatsoever!
3. It has a pour spout making it easy for me to pour out milk—again, no spills!
4. The plastic is BPA-free. And it's thick. Tough plastic. Will not be destroyed by the freezer frost or by my toddler's playfulness when he chanced upon a bag of milk and ran away with it, trying to open it to get to the milk inside!
5. The write-on tab lets me write on it with a ballpoint pen! Other storage materials, I had to use a permanent marker.
6. It's the best in the market but it's not expensive at all!
Here's how I use it:
|I just use a manual pump now. I like that I pump milk and strengthen my grip at the same time!
|Even the packaging takes up so little space in my cupboards!
|I like that you can write on it using a ballpen, a color marker, even a pencil!
|It can stand on its own!
|I froze it flat and look—no spills!
I love my HoneySuckle Breastmilk Storage Bags! And this isn't a sponsored post!
You can get a box of 25 pre-sterilized, biodegradable, BPA-free, super thick and tough, affordable HoneySuckle milk bags for just P399 at Rustan's Department Store. Mwah!

For the second time, Queenstown has revived a flagging national sports tournament only to frustratingly lose it to another venue.
First, we had Sir Michael Hill resuscitating the New Zealand Open golf tournament at The Hills, near Arrowtown.
By the third event, in 2010, Hill had it really humming only for NZ Golf to whisk it away to Clearwater in Christchurch, where it's since seemingly died in a, er, hole.
Back in 2004, Queenstown also rescued the National Sevens which had been languishing in Palmerston North.
As rugby commentator Tony Johnson says in today's edition, it had got so bad he'd wondered if the event even had a future.
Now that the tournament's prospered in Queenstown, other centres want a slice of it, and lo and behold, Rotorua's taking it off us for at least the next two years.
To his credit, Queenstown's Sevens with Altitude organising committee chairman Clark Frew has been magnanimous with his public comments.
Unfortunately, what NZ Golf and the NZ Rugby Union don't seem to grasp is it's the attractiveness of Queenstown, the venue, that's largely made these two events a success. Players want to come along with spectators and, in the case of the golf, volunteers too.
Listen to what big rugby names told this paper a year ago when asked about the possibility of Queenstown losing the sevens.
NZRU president and former All Black great Sir Bryan Williams: "Just talking amongst the teams and coaches and management, they'd be disappointed if it got moved somewhere else."
Veteran NZ sevens coach Gordon Tietjens, who ironically lives in the same province as Rotorua, said he'd be disappointed if Queenstown dipped out.
The players loved coming here and were disappointed if they missed selection, he said.
Local-based former All Blacks coach Laurie Mains added: "I'm good friends with Sky Sport rugby boss Andrew Fyfe and he said that this is the best venue in NZ to have the sevens.
"It's one of those tournaments, a little bit like the NZ Open – nobody wanted to know about it until The Hills made a success of it and nobody particularly wanted the sevens."
So where to from here?
After losing the NZ Open, Hill embraced the idea – floated by former All Blacks coach John Hart – of a pro-am modelled on Scotland's Alfred Dunhill Links and California's AT&T Pebble Beach.
So was born the NZ PGA Championship, which Hill's hosting for a second time next month.
Rather than hoping we're one day awarded the sevens again, perhaps the excellent Sevens with Altitude committee could create their own event.
How about an invitation sevens or 10s tournament? For that, we could host teams from Asia or Australia, or corral some South Island provincial teams to help their preparation for the National Sevens.
The same committee organised the successful Classic All Blacks v French Classics game during the 2011 Rugby World Cup at the Recreation Ground – so they know how to put on events.
It'd be a pity if we couldn't have some of the atmosphere we've enjoyed every January at the Rec Ground for the past nine years.
Not to forget the significant tourism boost it has provided each year.
Hill's idea behind the NZ PGA Championship with its pro-am component was to create something that no one could steal from him.
Perhaps we need to think of some sort of similar replacement for the National Sevens – a new tournament called
'Sevens with Altitude'?
