My new best friendsFor any beginner in anal play, this kit is affordable, fun, and just the right size. The variety of shapes and sizes make this kit a great opportunity to experiment in anal. I was very pleasantly surprised with these plugs and even though the plugs often slipped out I still would recommend them to any beginner.
great for beginners, offers variety of textures and sizes, made of silicone
the plugs do tend to slip out
The beginner anal kit is absolutely perfect for any beginner. Coming from someone who never dabbled in anal before, these plugs are GREAT. If you're looking to try anal with some small plugs, this is definitely the kit for you. I personally enjoy starting with the skinniest plug and working my way up, but even just playing with one is plenty of fun.
Since each of the plugs are very small, they'd be great for travel although not very discreet.
Since each of the plugs are very small, they'd be great for travel although not very discreet.
Material / Texture
The plugs in the Beginner anal kit are all made of silicone and are latex free. Each is firm while also being smooth and somewhat plushy. Each plug has a different shape to provide different stimulation. I did find that each of the plugs did tend to slip out, but the banana-shaped plug worked best for me. I think this kit does a great job of offering many different textures but without being too overwhelming for beginners.
Design / Shape / Size
I absolutely love the shapes and designs of these toys. As I mentioned before, the black banana-shaped plug worked best for me at actually staying in. Since this is a beginner kit, I think that the size of each of the plugs is perfect—you have the choice to use a long and skinny plug, still-skinny-but-nubbed plug, or the shorter but girth-ier plug. For anyone who is already used to anal play or prefers more length and girth, these would not be the best choice for you (not surprisingly). If someone were to see these toys they would most likely know they were sex toys; however their size makes them suitable for travel.
The only thing that wasn't perfect about this kit for me was that the plugs didn't quite stay in much of the time. Especially right before climaxing, having one of the plugs slip out was a huge disappointment. However, I get the impression that this is in part due to the small size of each of the plugs. For an affordable, beginner kit, though, I was more than satisfied.
Care and Maintenance
Because each of these plugs is made of silicone, cleaning and caring for them is a breeze. Be sure to use water-based lube with these toys so as to not break down the material. I originally was storing these plugs in the small plastic bag they came in but have decided to just store them in my toy drawer since they're simple to clean anyway.
The toys come in a very simple plastic packaging that says Eden Fantasys Beginner Anal Kit. There weren't any instructions included in the package, however, I didn't think any instructions would be necessary anyway. I may use the package as a gift but only out of convenience since there's nothing special to the packaging.

Students and parents at a Colorado high school are outraged after administrators turned down their request for a spirit week day honoring America because it might offend non-Americans.
"They said they didn't want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants," a 16-year-old member of the student council told me. "They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable."
The student council at Fort Collins High School had proposed having a day to celebrate the United States during next week's Winter Spirit Week. The young people pitched "'Merica Monday" – and invited their classmates to dress in patriotic colors. Their proposal was promptly shot down by administrators.
"They said they didn't want to be exclusive to any other country," a 17-year-old member of the student council told me.

This is ridiculous what country do they think they are in. why are the parents and students not up in arms over this.
It's just Colorado so we all know what they were smoking when they made this decision.
Left/liberal/progressive/Socialist/Marxist/Communist attacks on Colorado sovereign citizens take many forms, and we are fighting on many fronts. As a western state which symbolizes the Code of the West, they want to obliterate all that made the people of the West great: individualism, pioneering spirit, adventure, physical toil, inventiveness, capability, family, faith, self-sacrifice. The effete liberals want to build their society on the backs of American working people. Like Hydra from Greek mythology this evil has many heads:
" The Hydra had the body of a serpent and many heads (the number of heads deviates from five up to one hundred there are many versions but generally nine is accepted as standard), of which one could never be harmed by any weapon, and if any of the other heads were severed another would grow in its place (in some versions two would grow). Also the stench from the Hydra's breath was enough to kill man or beast (in other versions it was a deadly venom)." http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/hydra.html
Note the deadly breath :-) lol
I loved Greek mythology. I studied it in elementary school.
I bet form some politically correct reason they don't do it anymore.
You know. The battle of good and evil when the teaching today are all about moral relativism.
Which when broken down means no morals.
Thanks democrats!
I agree, Phil, if you have kids or grandkids, nieces or nephews, god-kids, help keep the culture of the founding people of the U. S. alive by also teaching them Aesop's Fables.
I have 5 kids and 11 grandchildren. I would like for them to have an America like I grew up in the forties and fifties.
My 5 kids and 13 grandchildren are beyond Aesop, but my 4 "greats" will each be getting a copy!
Blessings to Steven and my911!
I started life in a sweet little town called Westport, CT. That town and that state had strong pioneering foundations. I played on the antique cannons on the beach not far from the statue of the Minuteman.
That Northeast part of the country had been bought by the blood of patriots but it began to crumble under the insinuating, slithering assault of the Cultural Marxists.
The institutions that had sheltered my family, the churches, the schools, the sense of unity began to bend and then to break. Dad moved us West to Colorado to keep us safe from the destruction that was happening to the East Coast.
When he flew us back the summer after my senior year my girlhood friends said, "It is good you left when you did, bad things were happening here that we got into . . ."
I was puzzled and asked what things happened. But their voices had trailed off without adding any explanation.
Colorado became our new shelter. The assault has come, fierce and vicious to capture a prized trophy and symbol of the West. The progressives want to destroy our Western way of life.
Thank you for the blessings.
I/We lived in Trumbull for ten years and my youngest graduated from Trumbull HS, Home of the 1989 World Little League CHAMPS.
Things were headed downhill then and we got out in 1990. I fear for those who stayed behind.
The WH exudes the stench of burning American flesh in Benghazi.... and 0-bum hides behind his bureau heads
This is a govt school, what do y'all expect from bureaucrats running the place? They don't give a damn about our kids and if I may say so, SCREW those "immigrants" and their feelings. This is AMERICA!

Christian Panucci appointed head coach of Serie B side Livorno
Christian Panucci has been given his first head coach role by Serie B club Livorno.
Since hanging up his boots in 2010, Panucci, who played for the likes of Real Madrid, Inter Milan and AC Milan, had been working as sporting director at Palermo -- resigning after just one month -- and as assistant to Russia boss Fabio Capello.
That role with Capello ended acrimoniously, with Panucci branding the Italian "a disgrace" for just standing and watching as his contract was not renewed last summer. Panucci...

Some dogs might be happy enough with a slow stroll around the block or a few rounds of fetch, but not Kaia. For the super-fast border collie with incredible energy, it seems nothing short of an all-out sprint through a forest will do.
Earlier this month, teenagers Jonathan Kang and Bryan Gregory from Port Moody, Canada, set out to film along the bike trail in a nearby park. Bryan, who races bikes in competition, says he thought it would be cool to see if his dog could keep up. In hindsight, it was more likely that Kaia was wondering the same about him.
"She just likes to go," says Bryan of his four-legged companion to the Tri-Cities NOW.
Since being uploaded last week, this video has been making the rounds on mountain biking websites -- though clearly the star needs no wheels at all.
According to Runner's World, which created a helpful list of dog breeds best suited as exercise companions, border collies are particularly skilled at handling rough trails with obstacles, noting their sure-footedness and quick reaction time. But beyond agility alone, border collies are also considered the fifth fastest breed, capable of reaching speeds upwards of 30 mph.

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth.
As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons for composite fillings:
Composite fillings are usually placed in one appointment. While the tooth is numb, your dentist will remove decay as needed. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed. If the decay was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medication will be applied for added protection. The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function.
It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.
You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

Such a wonderful dentist. He was very comforting and patient with my 12 year old who was very nervous. He's personable and talks you through every step. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I'm glad we found him. I would recommend this dentistry to anyone. Very happy with our dental care.

So blessed to have a great dental office to depend on!

Colao warned that any move to cut IUC - a charge paid by the network from where a call originates to the one where it terminates - would impact the industry and rural telecom expansion. IUC is also referred to as mobile termination charge (MTC).
"We request your urgent intervention to safeguard the future of the telecom sector and ensure there should be no further reduction in MTC as it would destabilise the sector, defeat government's rural coverage objectives and cause huge inconvenience to citizens, in particular, in rural India,, Colao wrote in the letter dated August 22.
Colao warned that a reduction in IUC could ravage the sector. "We are seriously alarmed to see reports that the regulator is considering a reduction in MTC at a time when the industry is facing such immense hardships... Any move to further reduce MTC risks destroying the very companies that have invested to build this industry,, he wrote, referring to media reports that have hinted at IUC being slashed to as low as 3 paise per minute.
The contentious issue has pitted the top incumbents against Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio Infocomm, which wants the fee scrapped.
Jio wants a shift to the 'bill and keep' (BAK) model, which would bring down IUC to zero. India currently follows the calling party pays (CPP) regime, where incoming calls are not charged. In a BAK regime, an operator only keeps a record of incoming calls, but does not raise any demand from other telcos. Hence, there is no IUC.
The Big 3 telcos have been vociferous in their demand that there should be no reduction in IUC. Colao's letter follows similar missives by Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal and Idea Cellular chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla, who had both written to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), that is currently reviewing the IUC charge.
The incumbents contend that the existing IUC of 14 paise is already below cost. In their representations to the regulator, these carriers have said the typical cost for carrying calls was 30-35 paise a minute, depending on the input costs.
All three have asked Trai to reject any shift to BAK regime and have countered the view that lower IUC would lead to a fall in tariffs, saying the fee was just a settlement between two companies and would not affect call rates.
Incumbents would be biggest losers
Bharti Airtel, Idea and Vodafone India stand to lose the most if IUC is lowered or scrapped, as they are the biggest operators by subscribers and garner a major share of the termination charge.
The three operators together had a nearly 60% share of the country's more than 1 billion wireless subscribers as of end June, according to Trai data. If IUC is increased, Jio, which started services in September, would need to pay more to the three telcos.
Trai, in its consultation paper issued on August 5, 2016, had given indications that the industry should move to BAK regime owing to evolving network technologies. "In IP-based networks, traditionally, there has been no custom of levying termination charges for the traffic arriving in a particular network; BAK is the natural regime in the public Internet.,
But Colao countered this view. "Nowhere in the world do BAK and CPP co-exist as is being proposed by new operator. In BAK regimes, the consumers pay for incoming calls, which is unrealistic for Indian consumers,, the Vodafone top executive wrote in his letter.
Colao also hoped the inter-ministerial group (IMG) will recommend a reduction in the interest rate for deferred spectrum payments to 6.25% in line with improved macroeconomic trends as well as an increase in the period of these payments.
The group was sup to look into the financial health of the sector saddled with debt of Rs 5 lakh crore, which banks have pegged at Rs 7.29 lakh crore, and is set to finalise its report on Monday.
Mild relief measures may be on the cards, include doubling the period of installment payments for spectrum, lower interest rate on payments and penalties, and relaxation of spectrum caps for mergers and acquisitions. A final decision on the report will be taken by the Telecom Commission - the highest decision-making body - on September 1.

Thanks for the info Emiliano. While I enjoy some of the current advances in home entertainment technology, I'd never consider myself a "tech guy".:hmwink:
He's a fantastic designer. And he has the advantage of not needing ER's approval on anything. I'm also assuming (based solely on CM's awful She-Ra art) that Classic Media isn't asking for any changes.
Classic Media would likely be more inclined to allow it to be reinserted (it would have to be from VHS, since the original is lost) than ER, but Mill Creek is a budget company. They aren't going to reauthor or alter the masters that BCI used.
Great news! A good price on the full season too. I'll have to pick up a set when I see them.
At least it looks like Mill Creek is putting some effort into these sets. The cover art absolutely blows away the garbage they did with the She-Ra releases. I may have to re-buy the complete seasons depending on what else is included with the sets.
As for a blu-ray release, Emiliano was right about the quality. The video and audio will be about the same as on DVD (although the DVD quality, at least on the BCI sets, is great). The only benefit of blu-ray is that you could fit way more episodes on each disc.
Emiliano, count me in as someone who would love to see your MotU artwork released in a book. By the way, are you going to be doing any more art for IDW's Transformers comics?
I picked up most of the BCI sets at a discount price, with one over MSRP.. So I'm pretty happy with those sets. Unless, they include something spectacular in the extras, like new documenteries and interviews.. or even the commentary Busta did for the Region 2 releases.. then I'll skip these. I don't expect Mill Creek to go above and beyond. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised to see the volumes end up in the 5 dollar bin at Walmart alongside MYP's Orgins set.
Having the series on Blu-ray would see benefits...but obviously not "real" high definition benefits...
I have seen numerous examples of good quality upscaling - It's never as convincing as high definition, but it is better than DVD, because (of course) the bit rate is ridiculously higher...
The MAIN benefit to having the series on Blu-ray would be that there would be NO loss in quality - No matter what you think, as good as the DVDs look, they're not as good as the digital masters...
The bit rates on both the Contender and BCI releases have a a hard time dealing with the transformation sequence...on Blu-ray you would see NO loss whatsoever...:)
Great news for those still missing out!!
If that's true, I'm wondering if we'll ever see MOTU on Blu-Ray. Considering the fact that they're still re-releasing them on DVD as well as the fact the Blu-Ray is never going to be as big as DVDs(Sony's battle with HD-DVD kept a lot of consumers from buying the new hardware until a winner was declared which took too long) makes me think we'll either have to wait for whatever comes after Blu-Ray(unless downloading is the future).
This is great news fr me. I can finally get Bravestarr and hopefully the second Season of He-man which I am missing. I can't complete the spine mural, as I refuse to pay the horrible prices it goes for.
I still can't get over looking at the digital masters and seeing the quality of the transformation - Even when I upped the bit rate to 9 (which is the max) it still couldn't handle all that was happening on the screen...
That's the power of Grayskull...too much for DVD! :)
DVDs are still in the mainstream, but someday when no one sells DVDs anymore, the popular medium of the time (whether Blu-Ray or the next generation medium) I'm sure will re-release them again whether it is considered much of an upgrade in quality or not.
Sounds good to me cause I can FINALLY get the complete series of Brave star even though I have He-man I MIGHT get it again I dunno.
Luckily, I have all the BCI sets for all three He-Man series, as well as She-Ra. I might pick up the Bravestarr release if it is good quality and they actually have good transfers like the BCI release. I only bought the best of Bravestarr release, which I got last year since it was only $10 at a store that was clearing them out.
But I was surprised that the transformation (mostly with Battlecat) was a lot better with the Contender DVDs than BCI. But at that time I thought Contender "manipulated" the images to make it look better!
I hope some day we get the same quality as the masters.
Anyway, I still need She-Ra S2 in spanish and the series soundtrack! :hmroll:
...except for the odd missing scene...
At the DVD production house I worked (where the Contender discs were produced) we re-encoded the crap out of the episodes to make sure they were flawless! :)
...but the transformation sequence was impossible to beat...:(
Quite excited for Bravestarr. I have He-man already from the previous releases so it'd take some pretty awesome extras to entice me in.
What they'll likely include are existing commentaries because they don't take up much space, and maybe a few of the existing interviews if they have the room for them.

How the Two-Midnight Rule Affects Your Medicare Part A Benefits
Have you or a family member been to the emergency room and left wondering why you weren't admitted? It might be because a new rule called the "Two-Midnight Rule" prevented your doctor from ordering the admission.
The "Two-Midnight Rule" requires that physicians provide sufficient evidence in your medical chart that your condition warrants a hospital stay no shorter than two nights to be considered for inpatient status. Anything less than two nights will result in your stay being considered outpatient.
How Hospital Status Affects Your Out-of-Pocket Costs
Your hospital status could have dramatic effects on your wallet. When you're admitted to the hospital, you're responsible for the Medicare Part A deductible ($1,216 for 2014). Other than your physician's charges, that deductible covers all of your hospital charges for the first 60 days. If you remain an outpatient, you're responsible for the Medicare Part B coinsurance of 20% for all of your charges including hospital charges. This could very quickly surpass $1,216.
In addition, any medications provided during an outpatient stay aren't covered by Medicare Part B, and most medications can be quite expensive. Even if you have your own medications at home, most hospitals don't allow you to bring them with you.
The Risk to Skilled Nursing Benefits
If you need additional care after you leave the hospital, such as care in a skilled nursing facility, your inpatient or outpatient status will determine if Medicare will cover your expenses. If you're admitted to the hospital for a minimum of three days (not including the day you're discharged), Medicare will cover your care at a skilled nursing facility if necessary. However, if you remain an outpatient or don't meet the three-day minimum, skilled nursing won't be covered.
It's important that you ask your physician or other hospital staff what your options are if you know Medicare won't pay for skilled nursing. You might want to consider other alternatives such as home nursing care or receiving care at an outpatient centers or office setting.
There are several lawsuits pending regarding the Two-Midnight Rule, so this heated debate isn't over yet – but you'll want to be sure you know your hospital status if you're ever in this situation so you'll know exactly what your financial responsibility will be. What is your opinion on the Two-Midnight Rule? Have you been affected by this new rule?

BJCP 9a
Most versions are dark colored and may display the caramelizing and Maillard products of decoction mashing, but excellent pale versions also exist. The pale versions will not have the same richness and darker malt flavors of the dark versions, and may be a bit drier, hoppier and more bitter. While most traditional examples are in the lower end of the ranges cited, the style can be considered to have no upper limit for gravity, alcohol and bitterness (thus providing a home for very strong lagers).

Total Lunar Eclipse Dec 20/21 2010
The Moon and the Earth have a very special relationship in the Cosmos. The Moon is close enough to us to tug our oceans into tidal swells, and even to make you (very slightly) lighter when it's overhead. You can even "touch" the Moon, electromagnetically, by aiming a flashlight at it and pressing the button: about a second after you do, the photons you launch physically contact the soil and rock on the Moon's surface (and the way a flashlight beam spreads out, you don't even need good aim). And of course the Moon is the only place in the Universe we've personally visited.
One of the most striking and beautiful examples of the Earth-Moon relationship takes place during a total lunar eclipse, when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, transforming in a couple of hours from the stark brilliance of the Full Moon to the dark ruby-hued wonder of "umbral occlusion"—or totality.
Monday evening, December 20th, starting at about 9:30 PM, the Moon will begin to enter the Earth's partial, or "penumbral," shadow. Around 10:30, it begins to enter the umbra (full shadow), and by 11:40 will be completely engulfed: "totality." Totality will last until 12:53 AM Tuesday morning, when the Moon begins to leave the umbra.
While the extended weather forecast at the moment doesn't look favorable for the SF Bay Area, there are always freak changes in weather to hope for. Also, we'll be having a Lunar Eclipse celebration at Chabot Space & Science Center, rain or moonshine, which will be a lot of fun: Lunar Labs, planetarium shows, sci-fi movie reels, and every Moon-related song we could find—hope to see you there!
Though a total lunar eclipse is a rare event to see, this one is rarer still–not the least reason being that for the Western US it will be one of the highest lunar eclipses you can see, with the Moon reaching its apex for the night over 75 degrees from the horizon (practically overhead) close to mid-totality. For our latitudes in the Bay Area, the Moon can't get much higher than that. So, we get High Moon when the eclipse is at its best (weather permitting).
What makes this eclipse rare among the rare is the fact that the Moon is crossing several important features in the sky simultaneously. First, it's crossing the Ecliptic, the path of the Sun's apparent motion over the course of a year, cutting through the 12 constellations of the Zodiac. In essence, the Ecliptic is the projection of Earth's orbital plane onto the sky. Is it a coincidence that the Moon will be crossing the Ecliptic during this eclipse? Actually…not at all. By virtue of the geometry of a lunar eclipse, the Moon must be on the Ecliptic in order to pass through Earth's shadow, since the Earth's shadow, cast by the Sun's light, always runs along Earth's orbital plane, and so too the Ecliptic.
Another line is crossed during this eclipse because it happens on Winter Solstice. On this day, the Sun is located in Sagittarius, and so the Earth's shadow is cast toward the opposite point on the sky, in Taurus. Halfway around the circle of the Ecliptic from the Winter Solstice point you find the other solstice point, the spot on the Ecliptic where the Sun is located at Summer Solstice.
The Moon will also be crossing the Galactic Equator: the line representing the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. This alignment is a bit more tangible than those with the Ecliptic and the Solstice point since the Milky Way is a visible sky feature—at least in areas not impacted by urban light pollution. If you live in a place where you can normally see the Milky Way on a dark night, you have an extra wonder to marvel at during this eclipse: when the bright Full Moon enters totality and goes dark, the subtle light of our galaxy will be revealed, with the Moon set like a darkling gem in a diamond bracelet….
Well, we can only hope for clear skies—but in either event, come up to Chabot and celebrate with us this midnight delight….

Look at what came in the mail today:
Don't you just love the packaging!
I ordered 2 new M.A.C. lippies from La Petite Confiserie a month ago (since I pre-ordered the Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2) and I'm so happy that I finally have it now. I love their fast service — just paid for these lippies the other day and the owner is super duper nice. I can't wait to order more Mac and Urban Decay goodies from them.
I got a freebie too, a Clarins light-reflecting foundation. I'll definitely try it.
So, what did I get?
I bought Impassioned (Left) and the Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2 (right)
I love their business card!
For more MAC and other make-up brands such as Urban Decay, Too Faced, Benefit and many more: Check out their website and Facebook and order now!
I'll be posting another entry in awhile and it's all about Cambridge Satchels. Toodles!

In line with the VAT Law, free of charge supplies of goods and services are subject to VAT. The taxable amount is the purchase price or cost price of such or similar goods and services at the moment of supply.
VAT invoices should be issued for each supply of goods and services performed by a taxable person to another taxable person, including supplies without consideration.
In practice, taxpayers used to issue VAT invoices for free of charge supplies,
but they indicated on the invoice that only the VAT amount should be paid to
the supplier. Recipients of such issued invoices reclaimed input VAT if general

Care and Planting Instructions
Transplant outside when all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12″ apart, in rows at least 12″ apart in well-drained but relatively poor soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Once plants are established they will require little care. To avoid legginess, pinch off growing tips to make a bushier plant. Plant height 8-12".
Thyme plants are susceptible to fungal diseases, avoid over watering. Wetting their leaves, while watering, also reduces their fragrance. Deer and rabbit resistant.
To keep plants from becoming too woody, cut back plants by one half after flowering, to encourage new growth. To overwinter – keep sheltered from cold winds by mulching. In climates where the temperatures regularly go below 10 degrees F, plants should be heavily mulched or potted and brought inside during the winter months.
Thyme, Silver Lemon
thymus sp. 'Silver Edge Lemon'
Silver Lemon thyme is a lovely, perennial cultivar of the herb, and truly lives up to its name. From a distance the plant adds a bright, silvery sheen to the garden, and up close its beautiful texture of ringed leaves complement all neighboring foliage. It is one of the most popular thymes for combination planters and ground cover. Even more delightful for the herb gardener, it has a savory lemon scent that is strong enough to perfume the air without being crushed. A few leaves in any savory dish or salad that calls for lemon will add a bright lemon flavor with a tinge of thyme. Use in clam chowder and stews, meat dishes, pizza sauce and marinades.
Harvest leaves as needed, in the morning after dew has dried, before flowering in midsummer. The entire plant may be harvested by cutting plant leaving about 2 inches above the ground. The plant will recover before the end of the season; however, the plant may not be as winter hardy. Plants generally become woody after 2-3 years and should be replaced.
Storage – to dry, hang in small bunches – hanging upside down in a warm, dry, dark place. Once dried remove the leaves from the stem and keep whole. Do not crush or grind leaves until ready to use. Store in airtight containers. The ice cube method can be used to store fresh thyme for use throughout the winter.

Ronaldo a doubt for El Clasico after missing training
Cristiano Ronaldo missed Wednesday's training session with Real Madrid ahead of Saturday's El Clasico with Barcelona.
The Portuguese forward raised fears that he would miss Saturday's 'must-win' clash with the current La Liga leaders after skipping the session.
Madrid confirmed the Ballon d'Or winner worked away from the group after reports claimed he suffered a calf injury in the Club World Cup final win over Brazilian side Gremio.
Ronaldo scored the winner in that game and looked bang in form ahead of Saturday's game at the Santiago Bernabeu, however, the build-up will now be focused on his recovery.
Madrid head into the game, 11 points behind Barca, who have not lost a single league game all season.
Zinedine Zidane's side had the advantage prior to the start of the current season, having beaten Barca over two-legs in the Spanish Supercopa.
Compared to arch rival Lionel Messi, Ronaldo has just four league goals after a stuttering start to the season.
Madrid come into the game off the back of a second successive Club World Cup victory, where Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick was enough to seal the title.
Whilst, Barcelona approach the game having beaten Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 thanks to braces from Luis Suarez and Paulinho.
Sergio Busquets, who missed that game is expected to return to the Barca eleven, whilst Gareth Bale's return to fitness is expected to see him line up with Karim Benzema and and Ronaldo, if fit.

The best way to describe how I'm feeling right now is "over it." And I just am. Honestly I've grown so absolutely weary of the constant struggle to get up and go to work and fight the relentless anxiety. I am just ready to let go. And i don't mean commit suicide, or even stop going to work.
Just… Its too much to care about anymore. There are important reasons why I need a job. I need to pay Robert and Zack for allowing me to live in their house rent free for nearly a year. I need to buyfood. But… What is worth this? What is worth this struggle? I don't know how long I have to live, and here I am wasting precious days working a menial retail job, and for what? A paycheck that doesn't cover any expenses and the privelage of more tedious work?
At least the anxiety has decreased significantly. What was once a steady pulse of hot fear has melted into a thick blanket of apathy and submission. I'm feeling more and more like Marvin the Robot fromHitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, who is programmed in such a way that he is literally incapable of feeling enthusiasm or joy, and constantly laments his station as a glorified servant instead of putting his abilities to use.
I'm angry. I'm pissed off that I've come so far in life and yet here I am, still walking the sales floor and greeting customers, folding towels and pulling plates to the front of shelves, exchanging inane useless chatter with strangers just so I can have someone to talk to.
There are so many jobs I'd be happy to do. It doesn't have to be something illustrious. What I'd love would be data entry. Just to sit at a desk quietly, listening to audibooks and typing numbers into forms. Or a personal assistant, bringing someone coffee or organizing files. Or a secretary, keeping things organized and greeting people from the comfort of my seat. I could even work a government job, as long as I can just be in an office, sitting down. I don't know why that's so much to ask.
But no. You need a degree to sit at a desk. And in order to have a degree you have to go to school, and in order to go to school you have to have the time to do that instead of working, or the emotional and mental fortitude to go to school as well as work a menial job, and I just don't have either.
I don't believe I'm going to get another chance at life. And its killing me to waste my life in retail stores and restaurants. I want to matter. I want to wake up in the morning and do something I care about. But there's a mentality in our culture that no one gets a "free ride." God forbid I subsist on someone else's money or in a simple home paid for by the government, even though I have a mental illness that severely handicaps me emotionally when it comes to working out in public. If I had a physical illness the government would be happy to give me a check, but because people still don't believe mental illness exists and it's just an excuse to be lazy or have a bad attitude, I'm expected to shoulder a burden much worse than the burden carried by people who are doing more physical labor than I am. I have to fight the world every single day.
And I'm so tired of fighting. I'm so tired of wasting time.
Give me a piano, let me earn money with that. Give me a desk and an office in which to write my stories, let me earn money that way.
Give me a safe place to sit and read and learn, to walk the neighborhood listening to music, to communicate with people, to fight the loneliness and battle the darkness that follows me every day in my shadow.
Even if I did no work at all I wouldn't be getting a free ride. The battle I fight is ongoing and not always visible, but I'm fighting it. I know what you're thinking, I'm just making excuses for being lazy because I don't want to work. There's a mentality that "If I had to bust my ass for money, so do you. If I had to suffer, so do you."
But I'm already suffering. My full time job is surviving the day. Even in a day in which I have no work at all to do, I can still find myself fighting for my life against the anxiety and depression that pose a very real threat to my life, not to mention my well-being at the very least. You can call in sick from work with a fever or a stomach virus, but I can't call in stressed and emotionally exhausted. There are days off from an office job or a retail job. There are no days off from mental illness.
And besides, the attitude that because you worked hard for what you have then everyone else had to work just as hard, that attitude doesn't make sense to me. If you had to suffer through unnecessary pain to have success, why would you want other people to suffer the same as you did? You might say "it isn't fair that I had to work hard and you don't," but what is fair about wanting someone else to suffer? Is it a bitter desire for revenge against life that leads people to think it's so wrong for someone to "freeload"? What is freeloading? I mean look at that term. I carry my anxiety and fear with me everywhere I go. Even if all my needs were met by other people, my load still would not be free. I would still by fighting against my mind and my body. Anxiety isn't just having a bad day or feeling sorry for yourself, its an actual disease that affects your body, it is NOT "all in your head."
No one tells someone in a hospital bed with a terminal illness to stop feeling sorry for themselves, get out of bed and go to work like the rest of us. Because that person is physically unable. What if you're physically able but mentally unable? What do you do then?
Exactly the same thing you did the day before. You go to work like everybody else and you do the same tasks as everybody else, only the work you're doing is a thousand times harder because your brain and your body are constantly devising new and inventive ways to harm you. Tonight while I was working I was folding towels and suddenly realized that I was standing on the opposite aisle from where I'd started. How did I get there? When did I walk across to another aisle? Had I blacked out? I looked around and realized that I hadn't moved to another aisle at all. I clapped my hand over my mouth when the room started spinning and the wave of disorientation hit me. Which way was the exit, which way had i been facing before, where WAS I?
This is something that has never, ever happened to me before and it felt very much like I was in a dream. I don't think it's going to cause me problems in the future, but who knows? What if I start feeling disoriented all the time? What if it makes my panic attacks worse?
I'll just have to keep going to work and nothing will change. No one will have sympathy or compassion for me, at least not enough to alleviate my suffering by giving me some other task, because there aren't any other jobs there to give.
I just have to keep getting up and fighting my own body and mind every day.
And the truth is my stamina is running out and I'm losing the ability to keep fighting. I don't know what will happen if I can't fight anyone. I doubt it would mean that I'd hurt myself. But what would I do? Would I just stay in be and refuse to move? Would I stop eating, just stop living, and just exist? I cant imagine that's a real possibility.
But I'm so tired. And I'm just crying out to rue universe, please, give me something else. I'm willing to do the work, I just can't do this work. I can't keep working these public service jobs, I cant keep ringing up groceries and standing on my feet for eight hours, I can't keep dealing with the crowds and the noise and the lines of people, I just can't. I need something else.
I don't want something else, I need something else. I need it. I can't survive this way. I'm so tired of fighting.
I'm exhausted.

Electronics: Bend me shape me
Nature Communications
A method for producing stretchable, bio-compatible metal electrodes that can be soldered to conventional electronic devices is reported this week in Nature Communications. This could allow realization of flexible medical devices such as electrocardiogram sensors.
Sang-Hoon Lee and colleagues developed a stretchable electrode that can withstand repeated strain of up to 20% with minimal reduction in performance. They addressed a major challenge in the integration of flexible and conventional electronics by demonstrating that the electrode can be soldered to rigid electronic devices. They also used the electrode for bio-sensors which were applied to the skin or implanted in mice, showing lack of irritation to the tissues.

Miracles, Saints and Jinn
Saintly phenomena may include levitation, telepathy, stigmata, bilocation and other psychokinetic effects. Some jinn appear to be expert at creating such paranormal events.
Are jinn causing "miracles"? Are they tormenting or otherwise affecting these saints?
Jinn have free will, like humans. Therefore their personalities might also range from the saintly to the demonic, like humans. However, my understanding is that they shouldn't interfere in human affairs, so I question the motives of any jinn seeking to influence the human world.
It seems that a saint wouldn't attract or work with jinn, but perhaps it doesn't always work that way. Islamic history records accounts of jinn relationships with saints. And a saintly individual might not even be aware that jinn were a part of his or her life. (Although Padre Pio was very aware of the devil who tormented him. He wrote: "These devils don't stop striking me, even making me fall down from the bed. They even tear off my shirt to beat me! But now they do not frighten me anymore. Jesus loves me, He often lifts me and places me back on the bed" ) Perhaps jinn are actually behind some of the paranormal occurrences which surround the lives of many of the saints. Jinn could create such classic saintly phenomenon as levitation, telepathy, stigmata, bilocation and other psychokinetic effects. Jinn might also be instrumental in causing miraculous cures and healings. (Some UFO contacts have been documented to result in miraculous healings.)
Stigmata (the crucifixion wounds of Jesus)
More than three hundred cases have been recorded over the centuries beginning with Francis of Assisi to the present day. Padre Pio, Gemma Galgani and Theresa Neumann are the best documented in the 20th century. Stigmata blood which was tested by medical laboratories was shown to be identical to (ancient or very old) human blood.
Jinn do cause seeming miracles to occur. With fantastic paranormal abilities they easily manipulate people's beliefs. The unfortunate result may be that the faithful become more dependent on a jinn's tricks than on God's Grace. Evil Jinn are especially pleased when they themselves are worshipped. This process has probably been the major impetus for the corruption of religion, aside from the corrupting influence inherent in human nature itself.
It seems evident to me that some such process has occurred to Hinduism over many centuries. Hindus originally worshipped one God but most now worship the increasing plethora of little gods. It seems probable that jinn could be involved in hastening such a corruption.
" Hindus believe that there is one great power, which rules the heavens and the sky. He, in the Hindu religion is known as Brahman.; also known as Bhagwan. However, this great power is known to the world in many other forms. He changes into other forms to perform his duty. That is how there are many gods and goddesses in the Hindu religion, too many to mention. Each god has his own special power, and grants for what he stands for. Some gods and goddesses are more known than others. It depends on what the devotee prays for. A true devotee will pray to their god every day, chant his name, and sing his praises. http://www.vishwabhavan.org/khHinduReligion.htm
Lord Ganesh
Would you pray to this god?
"Lord Ganesh represents the ideal child. He also stands for knowledge and the remover of obstacles. He is the protector of all. He is Shiva's and Parvati's son. He is the giver of happiness and good fortune and is a symbol of perfection.."
Contactees Dorothy Wilkinson Izatt and Betty Andreasson were visited for years by "Beings of Light" who seemed angelic.
I've experienced 3 life changing encounters with "Beings of Light" myself. One of these involved a near death experience. All 3 experiences were powerful, wonderful, and very helpful in terms of spiritual growth, living a better life, and having greater understanding and happiness. Unlike my encounter with so-called "Ascended Master" St. Germain, these angelic beings radiated a beautiful spiritual authority. They radiated love and light. They seemed very much like the "Beings of Light" described by Andreasson and Izatt . However, Andreasson and Izatt's Beings were also very involved with the UFO phenomenon on a broad scale. I'm frankly confused about the relationships between good jinn, bad jinn, angels, saints and humans and am trying to sort this out. I experienced a period of several years that were highly anomalous, very spiritual and very filled with entities of several types. I'll post updates as I gather more information on the subject. I also plan to write about my personal experiences with good and bad entities.It also seems evident that this same process is occurring in Catholicism, when Mary is worshipped as a Co-redeemer with Christ.
Pope may declare Mary 'coredemptrix'

Indian Navy to participate in 1st war games
Underlining its increasing strategic prowess, the Indian Navy will for the 1st time participate in separate war games with the British & French navies in the Atlantic Ocean.india Updated: Aug 17, 2008 13:07 IST
Underlining its increasing strategic prowess, the Indian Navy will for the first time participate in separate war games with the British and French navies in the Atlantic Ocean.
Since World War I, the Atlantic Ocean has been the stage for strategic warfare for navies the world over.
"We will be participating in the naval exercises at the beginning of the next year at the invitation of Britain and France," a senior naval officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The invitation from the two nations is an opportunity for the India Navy to gain a foothold in the region and work towards interoperability. The exercises will last 15 days.
During World War II, the navies and air forces of the Allies and Germany fought furious battles in the Atlantic Ocean to control the supply routes to Britain. It is estimated that the Allies destroyed nearly 800 U-boats, while at least 2,200 convoys (75,000 merchant ships) crossed the Atlantic, protected by Allied naval forces.
"The Indian Navy is working out the itinerary for the exercises in the Atlantic Ocean. We need to test our sonar and other equipment in different environmental conditions and the exercises would provide the right opportunity for this," the officer added.
During the exercise all the three components of naval operations - under the sea, on the sea, and in the air - will come into play.
"The Indian Navy would like to deploy all three components during the exercise to gauge their effectiveness," the officer added.
However, it was not immediately known which warships and other vessels will form the Indian Navy's flotilla for the exercises. The participation of the Indian Navy's lone aircraft career INS Viraat is also not certain.
"INS Viraat is currently undergoing a refit and is expected to put to sea by the beginning of next year," the officer added.
Interestingly INS Viraat had previously served with the Royal Navy as HMS Hermes and was about to be decommissioned in 1982 after a defence review by the British government. However, when the Falklands War broke out, the vessel was made the flagship of the British forces and set sail for the South Atlantic just three days after Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands on March 19, 1982.

You know, in all the movies I have ever seen, it has always been piranhas, killer ants, or Hannibal Lecter that will eat an animal down to the bone. I'll never be able to look at pigeons the same ever again.

The Ones That Got Away: Patrick Tam
The Ones That Got Away: Patrick Tam
Patrick Tam stopped making movies 17 years ago, after a career that established him as perhaps Hong Kong's leading director. His name is legend in world cinema. Now he has a new film, After This Our Exile. But he does not have a U.S. distributor. Neda Ulaby introduces us to Tam as part of our series on "the ones that got away."
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
One of the best movies of 2007, according to some critics, was hardly seen by audiences in the United States. It's called, "After This Our Exile." And it's the work of director Patrick Tam. He's a legend in Hong Kong cinema, yet this is the first movie he has directed in 17 years. And he can't find a distributor here in the U.S. More, now, from NPR's Neda Ulaby.
(Soundbite of movie "After This Our Exile")

Unidentified Woman: (Speaks in foreign language)

NEDA ULABY: Maybe it's not hard to understand why "After This Our Exile" never found any serious traction here, says Grady Hendrix.
Mr. GRADY HENDRIX (Film programmer and critic): You can't say to someone, two hours and 40 minutes, Chinese people screaming at each other, subtitles, actors you've never heard of. That's really not going to pull people in no matter how good the poster looks.
ULABY: The movie got a few screenings across the country, including at the New York Asian Film Festival, which Hendrix co-directs. He says it was a hard sell for festival audiences at first, but rave reviews led to a waiting list for tickets.
Mr. HENDRIX: I've never known anyone to see this movie who didn't feel happy that they had seen it. They didn't feel like somehow they were better coming out than they were going in.
ULABY: "After This Our Exile" is about a poor Chinese family in Malaysia.
(Soundbite of movie "After This Our Exile")
Unidentified Man: (Speaks in foreign language)
ULABY: He's a cook, she's a bar girl. And their painfully disintegrating marriage is seen largely from the perspective of their 8-year-old son who descends into a life of petty crime with his dad. If that sounds a bit like "The Bicycle Thief," that classic of world cinema was part of Patrick Tam's self-education as a director. But Tam says "After This Our Exile" is different.
Mr. PATRICK TAM (Director, "After This Our Exile"): The film is not Italian neorealist kind of cinema. It's not about exterior poverty, about the materialistic side of life, but rather about spatiality, about the emotions. This is the thing that I would like to focus on. And I hope I can get through to the audience.
ULABY: Patrick Tam first reached audiences as part of a group that helped revolutionized Chinese film in the late 1970s. Some, like John Woo, were soon swanning around film festivals and, eventually, Hollywood. Tam stayed home. He edited movies for people like Wang Kar Wai, now a celebrated filmmaker himself. All the while, Tam directed his own movies. Even his martial arts films and thrillers were thoughtful and elegant and provoked audiences to rethink those genres. Then in 1989, he stopped directing.
Mr. TAM: Since I love cinema so much, I prefer not to make another meaningless or mediocre films for my audience, because if you're looking at cinema history, there's already a whole lot of movie junks there.
ULABY: Tam was unable to protect his movies from the kind of junk he hated. Although he was respected for his powerful style, connection with actors and subtle social critiques, he had to put up with Hong Kong studios flapping flashy endings on his films or inserting sensational scenes. Disillusioned, Tam moved to Malaysia where he worked with film students to develop the industry there. One of his students wrote the screenplay for "After This Our Exile."
(Soundbite of movie "After This Our Exile")
Unidentified Child: Mommy?
Unidentified Woman: (Speaks in foreign language)
ULABY: Film programmer and critic Grady Hendrix was apprehensive before sitting down to watch a movie described even by its director as long and depressing. But he was riveted from the very first scene.
Mr. HENDRIX: This young boy getting ready to go off to school. His mom signing off on his report card because he's failing his subjects. He leaves for school, comes back and sees that she's packing a suitcase to leave. He goes and tells his dad who's at work who comes home, drags the mother out of the cab and locks her in the house.
(Soundbite of movie "After This Our Exile")
Unidentified Woman: (Speaks in foreign language)
Unidentified Man: (Speaks in foreign language)
ULABY: Hendrix says it's the editing that makes the scene.
Mr. HENDRIX: Tam is one of the best editors, I would say, in all of Asia. And the edits are hitting off rhythm. They're coming too early. They're coming too late. They're coming in the middle of an action.
ULABY: Those edits give this family melodrama the intensity of a horror movie.
Mr. TAM: I tried to keep the emotional flow dynamic and energetic.
ULABY: Director Patrick Tam.
Mr. TAM: So everything that happens—but not too fast. You have to still have the space and time to really get your message across.
ULABY: Part of Tam's message is to present characters without judging them. People subject to forces they can't control and sometimes crumble beneath. Grady Hendrix says that goes back to Tam's early days working in Hong Kong TV where he wrote and directed dramatic series about social workers and regular working class men and women whose lives were not then normally explored on television. Hendrix says Tam finds such characters essential.
Mr. HENDRIX: They're doing the best they can in a world that really doesn't have any room for them. In a world that wants them to be a short-order cook or a bar girl or a bus driver. It needs to sort of keep these people in their place. And their place is killing them and it's breaking their souls.
ULABY: For Patrick Tam, "After This Our Exile" is the one film he has directed that hasn't broken his.
Mr. TAM: Even if I don't have any chance to make another film again, I'm quite satisfied with this one.
ULABY: "After This Our Exile" has won numerous awards at film festivals all over Asia. Tam says he doesn't mind that it has not found a distributor here.
Mr. TAM: I believe in the film. I mean, in all sincerity, I respect audience's intelligence. And I think everyone, every individual is sensitive to a certain extent if they see that what you're making or are presenting to them is a sincere and serious work, I think eventually they will be touched.
ULABY: Patrick Tam plans to keep teaching and making movies in Malaysia. He says the tropical climate is a hot house, both for his own creativity and for encouraging others. Neda Ulaby, NPR News.
