Finally it is here the weekend for all the Honda fanatics "Honda Day" in English Town N.J at Raceway Park where thousands gathered to spectate and witness the best of the best from all across the east coast take turns down the quarter mile. This fun day event is not just for the pros but also the newbies and first timers get a few passes down the track as well to see what kind of times they can through up on the boards.
Despite the rainy weather the event brought out all the makes and models that we all like to see, some old school players in the game and the younger generation all gathered in one location to showcase their hard worked on projects. We all have our own taste and style, some keeping an open mind and others just like to see something of their own interest, whatever the case is this lifestyle and car culture is always about coming together and enjoying what we all love.

Green initiatives
Reducing CO² Emissions
Vehicles are a significant source of CO² emissions. Transport accounted for 123,200 tonnes of Woking Borough's carbon footprint in 2013 - approximately 20% of its total footprint (source: DECC, stats published in June 2015). To reduce the number of vehicle movements in the town, and to encourage drivers to opt for more environmentally friendly cars, a number of initiatives are in place to help reduce CO² emissions, in line with Woking 2050, the Council's climate change and sustainability strategy.
- Enterprise Car Club has car club vehicles operating in Woking available for hire by the public. More details are available on this website, by visiting the Enterprise Car Club website and on the Travel SMART in Surrey website.
- Differential charging levels for car park season tickets are in place which are based on a vehicle's CO² emission rating (determined by the Vehicle Certification Agency). A 50% discount on the price of car park season ticket is applied for vehicles that produce the lowest emissions (CO² band A), and a 25% discount for vehicles in band B. Vehicles with a band G rating (the highest band) pay a 25% surcharge. Find out more here.
- Charging points for electric vehicles have been installed across the town centre car parks. Details are available here.

主 题:Housing Ownership, Intra-household Bargaining, and Family Decisions in China.
主讲人: 刘 靖
摘 要:This study investigates into how the change of family housing wealth differing by housing ownership between spouses affect intra-household bargaining power and then a series of family decisions, taking advantage of an exogenous shock by legal change in Urban China. According to the judicial interpretation of China's Marriage Law in 2011, the appreciation part of family houses purchased before marriage is no longer jointly owned by the couple but belongs to the side with his/her name registered. Based on data drawn from the 2010, 2012 and 2014 waves of China Family Panel Survey, we find that the appreciation of house would result in more bargaining power of husbands after the new marriage law as most of houses are registered under the husband's name, which reflected as a lower female-specific consumption and educational expenditure, higher labor force participation of female and a longer time of female housework.

Bach, Baroque and beyond. That's what to expect in Port Huron and Lexington this weekend at the annual Bach Festival. The celebration of the composer starts Thursday in Port Huron with noon and 7 pm performances at SC4's Fine Arts Theater with the Festival String Quartet performing a varied program of music from Bach to light classics.
Friday evening, the fete moves to Lexington where the Trio Phoenix will perform an evening of music for violin, cello and piano including works by Bach, Beethoven, Rameau and Debussy at the Lexington Village Theater. The music continues on Saturday and Sunday with the Festival Orchestra offering two concerts in St. Denis Catholic Church.
To find out more and to get tickets visit the Lexington Bach Festival website.
The music of Bach isn't the only sounds they will be hearing in Lexington this weekend either. The legendary B.J. Thomas, known for the hits such as "Hooked On A Feeling", "Rock-n-Roll Lullaby" and, of course, the #1 smash "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" will be playing two shows at the Lexington Village Theater on Saturday.
If your musical tastes run a bit more on the rockin' side of country music, make plans to be in Port Huron on Friday night when Scott Manery & The Barnburners turn up the heat at McMorran Place.
Also in Port Huron this weekend, the PH&DDR Historical Society celebrate Port Huron's history as a vital international transport center, the city's struggle to overcome the economic depression and the courage and resourcefulness of those that rode the rails seeking work and adventure with Hobo Fest on Friday and Saturday.
If seeing how people traveled by water in style is your thing, feast your eyes on the many vintage floating vessels (quite a few of which were built in the Blue Water Area decades ago at Chris Craft and Gar Wood) at the Blue Water Antique and Classic Boat Show. It's happening this Saturday at Port Huron's River Street Marina.
Throughout this upcoming weekend, Marine City is celebrating its sesquicentennial birthday on the grounds of their historic city hall for Heritage Days. Among the things happening at this jubilee include the Michigan 8th Volunteers setting up camp and remind us of our state's role in the Civil War, music ranging from ancient bagpipes to a swing band, a petting zoo, antique cars & tractors, horsedrawn wagon ride through town and more. Check out EBW's feature on Marine City Heritage Days here.
Also in Marine City this weekend it's the premiere of Oliver! at the Riverbank Theater. This musical interpretation of the Charles Dickens classic. runs through September 30th.
One thing that September means to a lot of people is that it is harvest time. After the crops have been taken care of it is time to relax and then party. For many that means it's POLKA TIME. Especially in Kinde. Located a ten minute drive from Port Austin, the Kinde Polka Fest features ten polka bands over three days and brings people from all around the Michigan's Thumb to come and roll out the barrel of fun.
Harbor Beach is also having a harvest celebration on Saturday too with a Craft Expo 10 am-4 pm the on Murphy Museum lawn, a pie & dessert contest 10:30 am at their visitors center and sampling of various chili recipes made at local merchants and organizations from 11 am-3 pm.
There's going to be good boys and cool pooches galore this weekend at Goodells County Park this weekend. The St. Clair Kennel Club's annual dog show is always a huge draw with area canine fans and friends and this year will be no different. The show starts Friday and runs through Sunday.

Hi John and Doves,
This article is utterly fascinating. It explains an awful lot. I have read that drugs were regularly fed to the troops in the trenches in World War 1. It was an accepted thing. Google it! It's always been a mystery as to how the German people were so misled by such evil. A combination of drugs and brainwashing on a massive, humongous scale. Ask any Zimbabwean soldier who has committed atrocities against his fellow man - drugs! Mugabe keep his army doped up to the nines. This is how evil works. Human beings have been manipulated and coerced throughout time. There is SO much to that scripture that tells us: EVERYTHING will be revealed. Whatever has been concealed, WILL be brought out into the light. Luke 8:17 - Luke 12:2 - Matthew 10:26 - Mark 4:22. Interesting that all truth is being revealed now. A sign of the end times.Hitler was high on heroin and his troops waged war on crystal meth

Aspiration Week 2016 is an annual event organized by the Student Representative Board (MPM) that held twice, namely at the Main Campus (October 17th- 19th) and the Faculty of Medicine (October 20th to 21st). This event begins with a Grand Opening on October 17, which was attended by Ms. Maria Natalia as Manager of Student Stewardship, followed by opening the booth at Canopy Building B and at Lobby F Building, and 2nd floor Lounge GLFK in the Faculty of Medicine by members of MPM. The goal of this event is mainly to accommodate students to be able to convey their aspirations directly. All students can immediately take the aspiration form in the nearest booth and write their aspirations, followed by name, NIM, mobile phone number or e-mail as a valid sign of these aspirations. The type of aspirations can be related to the student's life in campus, such as academic/non-academic, infrastructure and facilities, or suggestions to the Student Executive Board (BEM).

I applied and was accepted, interviewed, interrogated, and passed all phases scoring in the 94th percentile.

After the final recorded interview, the detective shut off the reel-to-reel recorder and confidentially told me that I would not be confirmed or sent forward. He told of this very thing: the bid to appease racial activists and meet federal decrees, black, female, and Hispanic officer candidates were hustled into the ranks and white males like me were now excluded. I said "so, now I am the oppressed minority?" He sadly agreed and walked me out of Parker Center.

My hopes & life goals dashed in an instant. Thanks for keeping this information out in the light.

At least Mark is succinct when he points out your shortcomings.

No, you don't need to comment anymore on my posts. You can do that on your own blog--anything you post to something I've written will be deleted now that you've been entirely honest about your complete disregard for anything I have to say.

Now while you may not think much of what I have to say, about half the nation feels the same as I do, especially about the Zimmerman verdict. More than half of the nation on this verdict, actually, as one MSNBC poll had 2/3s of viewers agreeing with the outcome. Many of those people are smarter than either of us. I'm sure you can't conceive of anyone being more intelligent or correct than you are, but I assure vast numbers of such individuals are out there. The State did not prove its case. We don't want a justice system that convicts the innocent based on ill-informed but vehement opinion.

Mark can continue to argue with you, but I want real discussions on this blog, not arrogant condescension and Statist talking points.

Do you know what many prosecutors think of that argument when it comes to statutory rape?
Hi-larious. You're expected to know the age of someone you're in bed with. It's not, however, required to card someone who's beating you to death before you shoot them in self-defense. That's why I found your whole line of "mistreating a child" utterly bizarre. The reference to statutory rape just took the bizarre to the next level.

The kid's own foolishness weighs less than the foolishness of an adult. Therefore, it's unjust for him to walk. I wasn't on the jury, but eye-ballying it, murder probably would have been harsh. Manslaughter less so.
Awesome. So what, precisely, is your reasoning for the conclusion? Note: every single critic of the verdict I've seen has based their conclusions on making crap up. Every. Single. One. And I actually have looked. All of the actual evidence I've seen (and I did pay some attention to the facts) is consistent with Zimmerman's account. I'd love to see any evidence, any single fact which would convince a jury to do other than acquit.

 And what the gun-rights movement wants is clearly ... to make it difficult to arrest and prosecute those who use firearms, even recklessly. That's not about Zimmerman as such. That's about what the gun-rights movement wants.
No it's not. But feel free to fully judge the character of tens of millions of people. At least I called just you a liar.

Oh and you're wrong btw. And once again making crap up:
The second point is just restating, albeit in more critical language, what SYG is all about. In some states, Zimmerman would certainly have been arrested. In Florida he was not, because Florida has lower standards for such things.
You do know that SYG was not ever used in this case? It has no relevance in the Zimmerman case, at all, except for the early hyperventilating by the media. Zimmerman was investigated, his wounds examined and documented. He re-enacted the events with the police at the scene. He cooperated fully. The FBI combed over people who interacted with him looking for any sign of racism. The press edited his phone call with 911, making it sound more inflammatory than it is. Finally he had his day in court.

You come along with a poor grasp on the facts and say he wasn't held responsible. With no evidence, none whatsoever, you say he should be punished. Throwing out the justice system for lynch mobs? Yah, that's what I call "not belonging in polite society." That's the antithesis of law and order.

Lastly, "thou fool" wasn't arrived at quickly. You've given ample evidence that you're happy to make crap up, you don't seem to digest the reason of someone who disagrees with you -- which oddly you claim is what I do when I clearly point out the flaws in your logic with facts, reason, etc.

Yet insofar as aggression can be tantamount to reckless endangerment it can be a crime
Good thing there was no evidence, none whatsoever, that Zimmerman showed any "aggression" (unless you consider self-defense to be aggression, and then you're just making up words as well as facts).Markhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-32625844752138838292013-07-24T21:11:56.763-07:002013-07-24T21:11:56.763-07:00I don't see it as a contest.

But hey, there's no point in singing kumbaya. Someone's wrong on the internet.

But I think you're right. For pulling the trigger when he did, Zimmerman can't really be held at fault. Yet insofar as aggression can be tantamount to reckless endangerment it can be a crime. That's really the only point I wanted to make. But yeah, whatever. The trial is done. (Civil suit is next presumably).

I'll stop commenting, since that's what you want. I've generally only commented on topics about which I'm genuinely conflicted and the use of guns in American society is one of those topics. In most of your posts, you're just flat wrong and I don't bother saying anything about it. So, take it as consideration of your opinion, when I do bother to write something.tomhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-30748069282070127592013-07-24T08:21:29.157-07:002013-07-24T08:21:29.157-07:00You've casually dismissed the discussion point...You've casually dismissed the discussion points we've made, without any real consideration. Why are we even conversing here?

I had a look and you're right about voting. I'm fine with admitting when I make a mistake and appreciate the correction. You do realize that strengthens my point, don't you? There should be fewer barriers to the exercise of a Constitutional right than there should be for legislatively-granted rights.

As for Zimmerman's mistakes, I do think Zimmerman should have been much less aggressive. Aggression itself isn't a crime. Nevertheless, he wasn't behaving foolishly when he actually shot Martin. When you are on the ground with a young man larger than yourself beating your head against the pavement, you really don't have much choice anymore. You act or you die.

With regard to justice, if you even watched parts of the trial (and I did) then you know the prosecution did a terrible job because they really didn't have a case. That's why the police initially didn't recommend charges against Zimmerman. There was no case for murder or manslaughter. So, basically you're saying that despite the fact all the rules of our system were followed and a jury acquitted him, you know better than the jurors who heard all the evidence. I think that's arrogant in the extreme. I think most people who watched the trial realized the prosecution didn't prove the case beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Do you really want a system that assumes guilt instead of innocence? That metes out justice based on skin color perhaps? That bows to the whims of media even when media got the story wrong or is changeable based on your opinion, or Al Sharpton's or Jesse Jackson's? If justice worked that way, Tawana Brawley's lies would have convicted innocent men, as would Crystal Mangum's. I don't see that as justice.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. I don't see any merit to your arguments, even after due consideration, and I really feel you don't give mine any consideration. In polite society, we actually stop and think about an opposing opinion. I'll invite you to stop reading this blog, because I've never seen that kind of thought to your replies. You seem to see this as a contest instead of a conversation, and I just don't think that's helpful.

(And why, for goodness' sake, would I waste time lying in the comment section of your blog? I know I'm not changing any minds, at least not in the short run.)

And, of course, you're free to think that gun-owners don't need to be held to a high standard of behavior (even if you think that they actually are). Though, I'll point out - and yeah, it's a gotcha moment - that voting is not a constitutional right.

Right, Mark. It can be hard to tell a 17-year old from an adult. Do you know what many prosecutors think of that argument when it comes to statutory rape? That's totally irrelevant.

Next point: the conclusion of the trial was unjust. Sure, not every trial is going to end the way I want it to. That's cool. I wasn't on the jury. But, as Andrew said, Zimmerman was behaving foolishly and a kid ended up dead because of it. The kid's own foolishness weighs less than the foolishness of an adult. Therefore, it's unjust for him to walk. I wasn't on the jury, but eye-ballying it, murder probably would have been harsh. Manslaughter less so.

Anyway, good for the gun-owners of Florida. The point I made, which you didn't understand, is not how things actually are at this point in time or have been in the past. The point is what the gun-rights movement wants. And what the gun-rights movement wants is clearly easy access to firearms and to make it difficult to arrest and prosecute those who use firearms, even recklessly. That's not about Zimmerman as such. That's about what the gun-rights movement wants.

The first point (easy access) is so obviously the case, evidence isn't needed (I mean, if you insist, I'll go look some up).

The second point is just restating, albeit in more critical language, what SYG is all about. In some states, Zimmerman would certainly have been arrested. In Florida he was not, because Florida has lower standards for such things. That's a result of lobbying by the gun-rights crowd. Maybe that's wise, maybe it's not (in my opinion not) but that's the case.

And finally, ya'll need to lay off the freak-out juice. "Liar", "not in polite society", (and in the past) "dope" etc. I've got a thick skin. I don't care. But you know, for your own benefit.tomhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-3089269336244512662013-07-23T16:02:29.789-07:002013-07-23T16:02:29.789-07:00I think the only point I'd like to add is: Ci...I think the only point I'd like to add is: Citizens...who want to carry weapons need to be held to a high standard of behavior.

That's actually not true. Carrying a firearm, much like voting, is a Constitutional right, and voting stupidly can have much larger consequences than carrying a gun. That being said, CCW holders are held to a higher standard and live up to it. Regarding Florida:

"In 21 years, Florida has had to revoke an average of eight licenses a year for crimes involving a gun--out of more than half a million permit holders at any given time. Says Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck, 'If the United States had a crime rate like that, we'd think we were in Switzerland.'"

So, even if you think Zimmerman was irresponsible in the use of his gun, he's not representative of CCW holders as a whole, who are incredibly responsible people if you're looking at the statistics. Generalizing any irresponsibility on Zimmerman's part, real or imagined, to all CCW holders is intellectually dishonest.Andrewhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-46817376395989386752013-07-23T15:50:42.970-07:002013-07-23T15:50:42.970-07:00There is a world of difference between 17 and 28. ...There is a world of difference between 17 and 28. Martin was a teenager and legally a child, while Zimmerman is an adult and is supposed to act like one, especially when dealing with children.
Had Martin beaten Zimmerman to death, he could have been charged as an adult. Wearing a hood, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between a 17-year-old and a young adult. You know this, and it's dishonest to deny that.

In this incident, he did not
Yes he did. He trailed Martin at a distance to keep visual contact so he could identify him if police arrived and verify that he wasn't breaking into houses in the meantime. When he could not follow in his truck, he followed on foot.

it is unjust that he is not being held responsible
He was held responsible. You might have seen something about a trial and acquittal? In our justice system, that's being held responsible. No one doubts that Zimmerman was responsible for killing Martin. Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder. If you can't tell the difference, you don't beling in polite society.

The whole point of the gun-rights movement seems to be to bring standards of behavior as low as possible.
Nonsense. You have no evidence of this, you're just making crap up just like you're making crap up about Zimmerman. Live in the world of facts or don't bother trying to talk with grown-ups.

I don't know how many CCW classes you've attended, but I think I've been to at least one more than you. Do you know what percentage of that class is about how to avoid confrontation and what the legal limits are of using the weapon? Yah, about 99%.

In fact, anyone who knows anything about gun laws knows that the advice from the buffoon Vice President is wildly illegal. We know that brandishing is illegal. We expect that in the very unlikely event that we have to shoot someone to defend ourselves we will be investigated, perhaps prosecuted, and the gun will be confiscated indefinitely.

I am not philosophically opposed to a right to carry a weapon
I think you're a liar on this point. Or at least you would find an objection to every realistic scenario in which someone actually uses a weapon to defend themselves.Markhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-84692421461833320432013-07-23T07:06:45.430-07:002013-07-23T07:06:45.430-07:00So true ,why i chose to be a Rainbow,as,how do you...So true ,why i chose to be a Rainbow,as,how do you choose,from a diverse,so called race,blood,or creed back ground? littlebitofsonshinehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-42588139375965903072013-07-22T15:59:30.181-07:002013-07-22T15:59:30.181-07:00Not many people make it to their 20s without exerc...Not many people make it to their 20s without exercising at some point or another what might be called "poor judgement". And that's what bothers me here. You treat Martin and Zimmerman as equals. But they did not meet as equals. There is a world of difference between 17 and 28. Martin was a teenager and legally a child, while Zimmerman is an adult and is supposed to act like one, especially when dealing with children. In this incident, he did not and it is unjust that he is not being held responsible. Indeed, that is what bothers me most about the gun-rights movement. Citizens, especially those who want to carry weapons, need to be held to a high standard of behavior. The whole point of the gun-rights movement seems to be to bring standards of behavior as low as possible.

I am not philosophically opposed to a right to carry a weapon, but everyone has to be responsible for their actions. That goes especially for those who consider themselves morally capable of exercising the judgement needed to carry.tomhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-45667724777940413682013-07-02T13:55:54.350-07:002013-07-02T13:55:54.350-07:00As indication of how universal the dislike of surv...As indication of how universal the dislike of surveillance, I largely agree, especially point 2.

1)as of now, the majority of Americans don't have a problem with it - likely because they are less engaged, inclined to "just let people do their jobs", etc.

2) the political elite is thoroughly behind this in a bipartisan manner. For all that divides the parties, there is, in fact, much more they agree on. Gathering as much intelligence as possible on anyone possible is one of those things. After all, this was "legal" in that it was authorized by Congress.

3) and related to 2, there's a whole lot of money flowing to private contractors related to the spying (like Snowden's employer). Ain't no way that money's getting cut off. It doesn't matter who gets elected. They'll fall in line.

The only way it could be turned back is if civil liberties types of all stripes put aside other differences (namely abortion, welfare-state, etc) and focused for 20 or 30 years on opposing the intelligence state. That's not going to happen either.

That said, I don't know that Germany's 20th century problems stemmed so much from a liberty/security dichotomy. I guess it depends partially on which mistake you're thinking of. I suppose if one's primary motivation for embracing Hitlerism was motivated by fear of Communism, it might apply. But Hitler's a pretty touch act to follow. (I don't buy the "Hitler was an evil genius" idea - he was a moron who thought killing off his talent while invading the Soviet Union would be an excellent way to do things - his successes are a credit to the people he had working for him, if we want to give credit as such).

The more interesting mistake was that of the DDR - the belief that you could perpetually clamp down on dissent through total surveillance and intimidation. In so far as Americans are only incidental victims of NSA surveillance, it probably really isn't a big deal... they'll get away with it in perpetuity. But it's not going to work against the primary targets (Muslim terrorists) and if the surveillance state ever really does take a hard turn towards clamping down on internal dissent, it won't work against Americans either - at least not forever. After all, the point isn't to provide security. The point is to keep the money flowing and look like you're doing something useful... like the TSA.tomhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-14364928105327185512013-06-27T23:29:50.802-07:002013-06-27T23:29:50.802-07:00I think you're right.

Demographics are certainly part of it, however the matter is too complex to say, "This is the only cause," or even, "These two causes explain it all." They don't.

That said, I do love innovative approaches and theories.

As we get more statistical information on private ownership of firearms and CCW permits, the trend seems to be that ownership and carry at worst have no affect on crime, but likely have some helpful impact on reducing crime.

Former anti-gun researchers like Gary Kleck have chosen to be intellectually honest and publish findings they don't like on this matter.

More to the point, though, if you just follow media coverage, especially anti-gun commentators, you'd think gun crime was up. Whatever the cause, and however much one dislikes guns, it is fair to point out that's an incorrect assertion.Andrewhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913826347822498530.post-23378708046291721292013-05-08T17:58:33.045-07:002013-05-08T17:58:33.045-07:00oh... and I forgot lead.

January TUSAL
Boy, my January TUSAL photo looks kind of meager doesn't it? I took a close up photo to be sure you could actually see that there are a few threads in there.
Since the start of the year, I've been stitching on CHS Christmas at HRH and my HAED Story Keeper so you see a mix of colors in the bottom of the jar. I guess it will take a while to get it looking a bit plumper than today's photo.
Okay, everyone lean to the right! it is so frustrating when Blogger won't add your photos with the right orientation. Here ismy progress on Christmas @ HRH. There is a LOT of stitching on this particular square. And I don't even want to think about the next one.
Paulette Stuart's new piece but I think I will go stash diving and pick something out that won't cost me any money. Happy Friday!!!

Have I ever what-gasmed?
I have a friend, Laura, who I've known since we were 12. Laura is a intelligent woman who never appeared to struggle with school work, however at some point during our shared journeys from elementary to high school she decided that she wasn't smart enough to go to university. I don't know how or why she came to this conclusion, but when myself and the rest of our friends shot off for various universities, she got a job in retail and never really left it.
Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with this career choice, if that's what makes you happy, but I know, from the whistful expression that appears on her face whenever the topic comes up that there's a part of Laura that would love to get a post-secondary education.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I've told her that half the people sleep right through lecture and if they can still manage to succeed in 'higher learning' than so can she–she refuses to listen.
I've never been able to understand why Laura just doesn't try it—enroll in just one class, instead of giving up before she's even started—until I realized that is exactly what I've been doing for the thirty years. Only for me, the problem isn't academics: it's sex.
I took me several years of being 'sexual active' before I realized that I'd never had an orgasm. After all, for a first timer, just being naked in a bed with a man was exciting enough in itself—ohmygod he's putting his fingers in there–so that I never wondered if I was missing out on anything.
And even if I had, it wasn't like I would have had the confidence to do anything abou: there is no time during life when communication is more awkward and uncomfortable (including funerals and underwater diving) than during novice sex. In fact, the very first time I had intercourse I was too shy to ask my boyfriend if he was wearing a condom—which he assumed meant I was on the pill. I wasn't, and nether was he.
It wasn't until I was in my first long term relationship that I actually became comfortable enough to talk about sex, and what I did and didn't like—with my girlfriends (I was still years away from the guide-his-hand stage).
It was talking to friends like Laura, who was giving hand jobs to her boyfriend and fellow barista behind the counter by this point, that I first heard about 'female orgasms' and realized I'd never had one. As enjoyable as sex had been up till that point, I'd certainly never experienced 'the earth moving' or a 'millions stars bursting across my pelvis'. What a rip-off!
So, I did what I was always did when something happened that seemed unfair: nothing.
Based on Laura's stories, I assumed that, like my inability to whistle and turn my tongue into a U-shape, I just wasn't genetically able to do 'come'. And I never tried. That was about eight years ago.
However, last night, I picked up a book called I Love/Heart Female Orgasms. According to the books authors, Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot, I gave up way too easily.
While many studies have found that 5-10% of women have never had an orgasm, this statistic is misleading. Many of these women are young and haven't learned how to orgasm yet…The percentage of women who would like to have an orgasm but are truly physically unable to is minuscule. Statistically speaking, it's unlikely that you're one of them (source, 66).
Ohmygod! I'm not broken! And ohmygod think of all the time and possible ecstasy that's gone to waste because I was too timid and lazy to experiment with clitoral rubbing or nipple massage or any of the other techniques the authors suggest (but that's for my next post).
Fortunately, it's not too late: I'm thirty and this time, unlike that phase several years ago when I was determined to learn how to whistle—I'm going to make it happen.
And if Laura ever changes her mind and decides to take a chance, just think of all the fun she'll have with those twenty-two year-old freshman.
Narcissism, lust, and getting past Cinderella
What do women want when it comes to sexual intimacy? Well, according to the Marta Meana, who treats women with sexual dysfunction , we all just want to be wanted. Badly.
Female desire…is not governed by the relational factors that, we like to think, rule women's sexuality as opposed to men's…Really, women's desire is not relational, it's narcissistic" — it is dominated by the yearnings of "self-love," by the wish to be the object of erotic admiration and sexual need (quoted in the Jan 25 New York Times article),
The problem is that being passive pretties leads to low lust—a trend to which the high number and variety of female sexual dysfunctions attests to.
Why is this happening? Feministe blogger, Jill, claims it is not due to any intrinsic nature of womenkind, but rather how they are represented in society:
Shocking, absolutely shocking, that when women are raised in a culture that equates the female body with sex itself, that positions the female body as an object of desire, and that emphasizes that being desired is the height of female achievement, women will see sex as a process primarily centered on male attraction to women, and will get off more on being wanted than on wanting (source).
She does have a point.
As a girl I really really wanted to be Cinderella. Not because she got to dance with the hottest guy in the ball, and marry him to boot, but because of the moment when she became the object of desire of every person in the palace– women and men alike stopped to gaze at her when she arrived in all her ice-blue glory.
Though I had lots of erotic urges during my adolescence and beyond, the most compelling desire I had above all was to be looked at and wanted.
It wasn't until I was in my mid-twenties that I actually allowed myself, just once, to shift out of the role of the glittering princess, and be the aggressor. It was exciting (though my victim, who happened to bring a bouquet of roses to the event obviously didn't seem to realize that he'd been seduced by a woman– at the end of the night he jokingly attributed our tryst to an inanimate object: the flowers).
I'm not suggesting that young girls should be hanging out in bars and picking up men for one-night-stands, but rather that the female role models our society offers—from fairytales to Seventeen Magazine, could be a little less concerned about making males want them, and focus more on what they actually want. In bed, or otherwise.
Sex and the City and why I can't orgasm
Sex and the City is stealing my orgasms, and the orgasms of thousands of other members of their viewing audience.
The problem is that the women on that show are just too damn beautiful.
In The intimate history of the orgasm, Jonathan Margolis describes a 1999 poll which sampled 15, 000 sexually active adults in the US, Canada and the UK and found that "46 % per cent of anorgasmic women blamed the problem on lack of confidence in their appearance" (source, p.64).
That is to say, instead of letting ourselves be consumed by the act of love-making, we keep getting distracted by the image of Carrie Bradshaw's sharp shoulder blades and the uncomfortable questions that they dig into our psyches: Am I too fat? Am I pretty? What does he think of how I look (especially now that I don't have any clothes to downplay my thighs)?
But that isn't the only way that Sex and the City is apparently undermining the orgasmic potential of women like me. Not only is the show's cast of female actors totally thin and attractive but they also generally have really amazing looking sex. Particularly in the case of Samantha.
How are regular women like me supposed to be able to measure up to a woman whose sex drive, at the age of forty, is able to consume handsome young men half her age?
In another, much smaller study quoted by Margolis, women engaged in sexual self stimulation (masturbation) were monitored in labs and then asked to report on their experience. The intriguing aspect of the experiment was that many subjects which exhibited all the physiological sensations of orgasms, climaxed they hadn't orgasmed at all, decided instead that "what they had did not seem to feel like what it was supposed to be like it… [thus] women perfectly capable of orgasm refuse to believe that they are having a legitimate one and must instead be experiencing an inferior brand" (source, p.66).
That pleasing sensation around my pelvic region was nice, but since I didn't scream and howl like Samantha's did in episode four, season six, than it must not have been the real thing.
Don't get me wrong, I do love Sex and the City. But perhaps, if we women are really serious about getting in touch with our own orgasmic capacity, we should start by trying not to compare ourselves to Carrie and Samantha and the rest of them. I, for one, vow not to watch any more episodes…at least till I've come.

Just wanted to show you that I AM trying to complete this project.
My youngest ("Sunshine") is with my parents today and tomorrow, so I do have some extra "free" time to devote to sewing (as soon as I return from the "100th Day of School" activities!).
Wish me luck!
P.S. When I went upstairs this morning to wake up my other three, there sat Sunshine's suitcase. Yikes!

Fear is natural. Life in the early times of human development was dangerous. We had to make quick decisions about what was dangerous and what was safe and we had a natural built-in fear of predators/ Fire, deep water (drowning) or poisonous plants meant the difference between life and death. Today in our western world, predators are few and far between, we have harnessed the power of fire and most of us have learnt how to swim. Those natural fears have started to subside and that is a good thing. We wouldn't want to spend our days in constant fear of something we don't need to be afraid of. Today, people who do are said to have an anxiety disorder.
Unfortunately the human mind hasn't developed a switch to immediately detect real danger from imagined. In some people, the imagined danger appears incredibly real; they suffer from a phobia. Phobias are an extreme or irrational fear of, or an overly strong aversion to something. We end up with an out of proportion response to our trigger.
Phobias are often started due to childhood experiences, such as a strong fear of dogs (cynophobia) or confined spaces (claustrophobia). In the first instance, the person might have been startled by a barking dog as a child and claustrophobia might be linked to being locked in a cupboard by mistake.
Whatever your phobia, you might not be aware how it started, but it can be debilitating to suffer from something that the majority of your friends and family have no concept of. Phobia sufferers go to unimaginable lengths to avoid triggering their phobias in order to avoid the characteristic panic attacks and anxiety.
These usually come with the following symptoms:
• pounding or racing heart
• shortness of breath
• rapid speech or inability to speak
• dry mouth
• upset stomach or nausea
• elevated blood pressure
• trembling or shaking
• chest pain or tightness
• choking sensation
• dizziness or light headedness
• profuse sweating
• sense of impending doom
• feeling of no control
Hypnotherapy for Phobias can help
Hypnotherapy can be very effective in the treatment of phobias. There are no side effects, as there are with medications, and hypnotherapy does not only treat the symptoms but goes right to the root of the problem. While under hypnosis, clients can take back control using bespoke tools. Change is a learning process and we can do this in different ways. The phobic can be reassured that the fear has no basis in the present and learn relaxation and coping strategies that will help them manage the situation better when it next arises.
These techniques can put the client back in control of their own life.
If you want to find out how hypnotherapy can help you regain control of your life and get rid of phobias, get in touch with me, Samantha Culshaw-Robinson for an informal chat. Based in Nottingham, I am a clinical hypnotherapist successfully treating clients since 2010. Call 075 222 777 22 or email at email@example.com

What are home test kits?
Do you know what rapid STD home test kits are? These are devices that are becoming more widely used because of the many advantages they can offer to people infected with sexually-transmitted diseases.
If you have been infected with an STD, you should immediately purchase a rapid STD home test kit for your own good. You know why? Here are the reasons:
Being infected with an STD is embarrassing and humiliating. The last thing you want is to be seen in an STD testing facility. So, with the use of a rapid STD home test kit, you can conduct the test at home, on your own!
Easy to use
Rapid STD home test kits are designed to allow normal people without a medical background to test themselves for STDs. They come in a package or box that includes instructions on how to do and complete the test.
Fast and accurate
Do you know that a rapid STD home test kit can return a highly accurate test results in as fast as 15 minutes? So, if you do not want to wait for so long to know whether you are STD positive or not, this is the way to go.


text: I have just got a Sony X10 Mini Pro and I really like the phone, my only frustration with it is when I am making a call and speaking with someone my ear touches the mute icon in the corner of the screen, this can be annoying as I do not have any indication that the call on my end is muted. Is there any way of either moving this icon or removing this totally. I have already tried the moving icons option on the home screen but this only applies to the corners of the home screen and not the ones that appear during a call. Many thanks for your help in advance.

Shrek The Musical at Harper College
Palatine | Website
This event occurred in the past.
Map | Find Parking
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears."Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek. Characters will be available for photos following each performance. Box Office opens at 6:30pm for evening performances at 1:30pm for matinees. Seating will begin 20 minutes before showtime. Run Time is 2 hours plus a 10 minute intermission. Small concessions will be available for purchase. Free visitor parking is available in Lot 4 or 5. All performances are at Harper College's "J" Theater 1200 W. Algonquin Rd. Palatine, IL 60067 Thursday August 9th at 7:30pm Friday August 10th at 7:30pm Saturday August 11th at 2:30pm and 7:30pm Sunday August 12th at 2:30pm

Days are flying at a crazy speed ..Irritating alarms,flying blankets,green-light chase through the blocks,meetings,quick lunches,tired evenings with cup of Bru and snacks,prepping the dinner listening to the rhythm of rain and chatting away to each other about the day ,TV humming all the time in the background,nom-nom's and hit-the-sacks,dreams…. till the cycle starts again the next day..But there is a beauty in it ,think so?Yup,I do love my life… as long as there is this 'someone' to share it with me..:) So,so thus it goes …and I thought my scones were posted just a while away.But when I checked the date,my jaw almost hit the ground.:D..I dunno,I always seem to need a long time to make a post,may be that's what's keeping me away from here.I don't seem to be able to squeeze in a quick 30 mins or so and make a post.I need my time to muse,talk and share with my readers all the tidbit details of my glutton and memories associated and all those good stuff..But guess I'll have to get into the hang of that speed track..:)
Hope you all are having a great summer.But heard,back home its the craziest summer ever with scorching sun and temperatures soaring up to the maximum in history..!.Stay cool all you folks out there..:)
Well,this is not exactly a great recipe for Kerala summers I'd say.'cos Chicken itself is a hot property I've heard..:)..But who can say a No to a Biriyani..I haven't seen anyone who could..:D Ok,so this is exactly not a Biriyani..This is one is quick,easy and one-pot..and one pot is Pulav they say.But whatever..this is one amazing stuff and a good-at-it one to woo your husband,stump out your guests and may be for a quick yet grand Sunday brunch..:) This is exactly the Non-veg version of my Veg Pulav.Just that some marinated chicken is also popped in here.I have always made Biriyani the traditional way with rice and meat cooked separately and layered n baked.But sometimes you get this bad bad craving and you are super lazy for all that process.So I had to take this risk and try this one.Well,I was little apprehensive ,but in the end it all came out awesome..!!:)..Sig also has a similar one posted in her space sometime back,I remember..!!
Before going to the recipe details,wanna share with you the pics of this George Foreman grill that CSN stores passed on to me.
Great stuff,people.The most suited description for this is mess-free and fat free.Just layer out your meat/fish veggies and close the grill(the upper plate of the grill is a replica of the lower one).After the required time ,open n voila ..!! and there are 2 settings for the position of the grill.You can keep it straight or slanted for the fat to drip off into a separate plate kept at the bottom.So you get all the healthy tasty stuff.See my Tilapia slices getting grilled..Sorry for the bad pic..:(.Thanks agian Csn stores..:)
You'll need :
1.5 lbs Chicken
Marinate it with:
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1 Tbsp Chilli powder
1 tsp Pepper powder
1 Tbsp Vinegar
1/2 Cup Yogurt
2 Cups Basmati Rice (long grained/fine quality)
2 inch Cinnamon stick
3 crushed cardamoms
3 cloves
1 small Star Anise
2 stalk Fresh curry Leaves
1 Cup Thin sliced Onions
1 Tbsp Garlic minced/paste
1 Tbsp Ginger minced/paste
1-2 tsp Chilli powder
1 Tbsp Coriander powder
5-6 pepper corns crushed
1 tsp Garam Masala
A handful Mint leaves chopped
A handful Cilantro chopped
Nuts/Raisins/fried Onions
Lets whip up the Biriyani..!! :)
Marinate the chicken with powders and keep refrigerated for an hour.Mean while soak the Basmati rice in 4 cups water n keep aside for 30 mins.
In a deep bottomed pan ,heat the ghee and fry whole spices until that aroma spreads the place.
Pop in the curry leaves and fry till almost crisp n fragrant.
Add the ginger paste ,garlic paste n fry in low heat till fragrant.
Now add the Onion slices n fry till golden brown.
Push the onions to one side and dip in some ghee and put the powders and pepper corns and salt into it n fry under low heat until the powders are fried well.
Mix the powders with onions n sauté till mixed well..that dark color n aroma..:)
Add the cilantro and mint and mix well till that aroma hits even your neighbors'..;)
Increase heat,pour some more oil/ghee and tip in the marinated chicken in a and mix well with the onion base.Spread on the base of the pan and keep stirring for a while till it gets a good sear on all side.This one thing gives a great crunch to the chicken in your biriyani..:)
Keep mixing n frying till the chicken is almost opaque and mixed well with the base.Don't over cook the meat.
Drain the rice n keep the water aside.
Pop in the rice and mix well with the chicken base taking care not to break the rice.
Remove almost 1/4 cup of water from the drained water from rice,keep aside and heat/boil the water .Add the hot water to the biriyani pot.Sprinkle enough salt also.
Mix gently the rice,chicken base and water.Sprinkle toasted KAsuri Methi and bring to a boil.
Close with a tight fitting lid and keep it undisturbed for a good 20 mins till you dont see any water on top..A glass lid on top will help you here.
Now open the lid ,there should be some water at the bottom..If the chicken/rice is not cooked as per your desire you can add that 1/4 cup water and keep the lid closed for another 5 mins or so..Else,Fluff with a fork and keep it open for a while till all the moisture is gone…Gently shake and with fork/spork mix well.
Fry onions,raisin and nuts in ghee n sprinkle on top.Prepare some thick Onion-Mint Raita and serve..!!
Verdict: Well,what can I say? Awesome..! ..I had kept aside that 1/4 cup water..but then later added almost half of it and kept the pot closed for some more time.BUt then there was some good moisture in Biriyani when I opened the lid and had to keep the pot open for a couple of minutes.The whole process will make some rice fried n stuck to the bottom of pan and that tastes the BEST..:)
Time to call it a day foodies..see u all again..:)

Platform preferences? September 5, 2011Posted by gbsoftware in Uncategorized.
Tags: PCAD, platforms
2 comments
PCAD has always been a PC-based software system. (Well, at least as long as there have been PCs. Earlier versions ran on DEC mainframes and minicomputers, if there's anyone out there old enough to remember them.) We started PC work on DOS, and migrated to Windows many years ago.
From time to time, we're asked if PCAD can run on other platforms. The answer, in theory, is yes. There is nothing in the underlying processing that PCAD performs that is tied to Windows. As a practical matter, however, the user interface is dependent on the underlying operating system, which means that moving to some other platform (Linux, MacOS, etc.) could require a fair amount of new development. Supporting multiple platforms is also usually more costly than supporting only one.
All that said, we're interested in finding out if there's significant demand for PCAD on other platforms. The obvious targets would be the Apple Mac and (one or more flavors of) Linux. It's also possible to imagine a web-based version of PCAD, though that raises many thorny issues of privacy and data protection that are potentially simpler in a single-machine environment.
Right now, we're not sure that there's a good story about PCAD on a smartphone (or on a tablet), other than possibly though a web-based implementation accessed through a browser – but perhaps we're not thinking it through clearly.
Let us know, either in comments here or in email to our support or info addresses, if you would license a version of PCAD for the Mac or Linux, if you would use a web-based version of PCAD, or if you see a way that the functionality would be useful to you on a phone/tablet. Thanks for the input!

The holiday weekend here in the United States has not been completely misspent – our website has been updated to support payment using PayPal and electronic download of the PCAD software. Of course, we still accept purchase orders, electronic fund transfers, and checks, but we hope this will make things easier for potential users.
Academic users will need to email evidence of academic status to qualify for a discount. Once that's received and reviewed, we'll send out a link for access to the academic purchase page.
Please let us know through our support email address if you have any issues using the new ordering process.

At TigerDirect.com, customers can buy the multi-function print -- it includes not just monochrome laser printing capability, but scanning, fax, and copying features, as well -- for the low price of $99.99. The deal is only good for one day, Monday Sept. 23.
This printer carries a suggested retail price of $129.99. As a comparison, it can be found at Amazon.com for $114.99. Shipping isn't free, but it is only $1.99. Tigerdirect.com charges sales tax in Fla., Ga.,, Id., Il., N.C., S.D., and Texas.
For those willing to go refurbished, Newegg.com has the same model in refurb form. It is unclear how long the special pricing on this model will last. In this case, the Samsung SCX Series SCX-3405W MFP -- refurbished, remember -- is $69.99. Shipping is free. Newegg.com charges sales tax in Calif., N.J., and Tenn.
The dimensions of the printer are 15.8" x 11.5" x 11.7" (W x D x H). It weighs 17.9 pounds.
The Samsung SCX Series SCX-3405W MFP is capable of 20,000 pages per month, and up to 21 pages per minute (PPM). In terms of print quality, the printer can supply up to a resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi.
Copying performance is up to 21 copies per minute (CPM). The maximum document enlargement possible is 400 percent. The maximum document reduction allowed is 25 percent. There is a maximum of 99 copies that can be made in a single "run."
Scanning specifications are as follows: maximum scan resolution of 600 x 600 (optical) and maximum using the enhancement feature of 4800 x 4800. .
Connectivity wise, the printer has a USB port, for those who wish to attach it directly to a PC. However, it can also network, with Wireless 802.11 b/g/n technology. It doesn't appear to have a cabled Ethernet port.
While this price seems cut to the bone, remember that printer manufacturers have a maxim: The money is in the consumables, not the printer itself. In the case of the Samsung SCX Series SCX-3405W MFP, Amazon.com says the official Samsung toner runs $65.99 at the full retail price, but $56.99 at Amazon.com's price. It supposedly supplies up to 1,500 pages.

FACT: Remakes of classic revenge horror films give me rage blackouts. (Imagine a sort of reverse Hulk situation where the Hulk gets so full of rage, that he just sits there and stares at nothing in particular, gets a wicked migraine, and hurts no one but himself.) The remakes of I Spit On Your Grave, The Last House on the Left, Straw Dogs: these are films I have not seen, nor will I. I think when a revenge film is done SO perfectly, there is absolutely no reason to attempt it again. All you will do is tarnish the memory of what came before. Inevitably however, remakes happen, and sometimes you just have to put on your big girl bloomers and deal with it. So when I heard that the film Carrie was being remade, well, it was time for a GIANT pair of big girl bloomers.
If you are on the Horror Honeys website and don't know the story of Carrie, you are obviously lost and should probably go back to Perez Hilton or Gawker or some-such. I'm not hashing out plot details here. But lets just say that as a young, fairly awkward-in-her-own-skin girl discovering horror films, Carrie was one of the first movies that I really identified with. Carrie is obviously a revenge film, but it is so much more than that.
|It's all fun & games until someone gets lit on fire.
Revenge Honey Fun Fact: In the original film, there is a "For Sale" sign next to the White house, identifying the address as 132 Main Street. While I've never been able to tell if this is referring to the actual White house, or the lot next door, I lived at 132 Main Street for two and a half years while I went to graduate school.
|My house resembled that one too. Ha!
|Good luck Mr. Dry Cleaner.
|If you're going to kill your mother, might as well
go for the gold.
Really Amy Irving. What WERE you thinking?
|Don't look at me like that. You know I'm right.
