It would be desirable to tell at once more in detail about itself: I was born 20.06.1983 years. On a sign on the zodiac I am Twins. I am a charming girl, with blue eyes, but you already have for certain noticed it on my photo. Periodically I go in for sports, constantly I support my figure in shape and consequently I can tell with confidence,

I consider as the most important to inform at once to you, on my purpose of acquaintance to you in my first letter. I DO NOT SEARCH for short-term and thoughtless hobbies "for one night". I do not consider thoughtless relations serious.
I search for rather reliable, serious and independent man who would like to create with me a strong and happy family. I search for the man for which word meaning "family" always will be on the first place in a life. At me never was children.
You to search for what relations? Whether you are a lot of time spend on the Internet? Why you to search for the woman directly on the Internet?

I wait your fast reply. Send, please, to me your photos!
Letter 2
Greetings, my new friend, Raymond !The age of the person for me is not important. The good person who would love me is necessary for me and would understand me as the person. We in Russia have a proverb: " Love all age are obedient. ". This proverb completely reflects that sometimes age at all does not reflect a private world of the person. I think this world connects of people and supports their strong connection and understanding always. What's up? I am very glad to receive your answer to my letter.
I have not many photo, but I will try to send them to you every day to intrigue you, to help to understand sense of my letters.
I would like to explain from the very beginning of our dialogue to you all situation. I know, that between us distance which not to overcome also quickly as my electronic letter reaches you.
In my life of circumstance have developed so, that I have independently come to such decision to find love in the Internet. And I really believe that it is possible!
I do not complain of my life. I am happy with it. That does not suffice in my life? I do not have not enough present love, the present feelings.
I live in apartment for which independently I cry every month, independently I buy meal and clothes. I have a work which gives to me not only the salary, but also pleasure!!
I have lived already many years, I have let small, but the important life experience. I consider, that the true happiness of the person is a love. And consequently I am not completely happy.
I know, that I like many men, and many men pay attention to me. My last relations is an unpleasant experience for me. Now I understand, that was only a toy for men,
Which I sincerely loved. Also there was no in my life of the man which my private world initially interested, instead of my appearance. I now do not wish to recollect it.
I wish to think only of the happy future! And I trust only in the light and happy future, differently my searches were senseless.
Idea of acquaintance on the Internet I did not take from heavens. By the way, I did not speak to you. I work as the Barman in one of bars of our city. But I will tell about my work later.
And so, recently on work I have heard that one of our employees left in holiday abroad, but have not returned any more back. All say, that it from the very beginning went abroad to the man,
With which she has got acquainted on the Internet. Now they live together and are very happy. And I have thought that it for me too is real! After all now set of people communicate on the Internet in the various ways.
I write to you from the house, I have houses the inexpensive Internet. But I already said to you, that the basic way of dialogue for me is an exchange of letters with you! I wish to communicate with you letters as it is the most convenient and practical way,
I am able to speak and write freely letters in German. Also I studied also other foreign languages, but I know them not in perfection. I know your language,
I studied it at school as an additional foreign language. But I had no oral practice, I will need to get used to your language to understand your words, but read and write I can freely.
But basically I have possibility to communicate in letters. Therefore I ask you to answer always my letters and in particular on my questions. Tell to me more in detail about you, about your work?
Whether you love work, how many at you specialities? I wish to know everything, what you wish to tell to me about you?! I will wait your answer tomorrow! Kseniya.
Letter 3
Greetings my lovely man Raymond!
I in fine mood today, and how you?
As always I speak many thanks for your letter, I am very glad to read your letters!I did not think yet over a trip to England but in the further future if at all of us that is good it will be possible to consider it in details! For now I consider to think early to us of it!
I think, it is all because even for so short time interval, I have got used to your letters and now would be very afflicted, if have not received from you the next letter...
My friend leave to me please the phone number. I very much would like to hear your voice and to talk to you! I will wait number in the following letter!)
I have just come back home from work and practically at once have included my computer to look, whether there are from you new messages! :). I do not know, why occurs so, I and itself am surprised to it, after all we know each other very much recently, but, nevertheless, I have to you liking. I have sensations, that we know, each other much longer, than is actually. I am confused a little to write it, but I will be courageous and I will inform you it. In my opinion to opinion you have essential positive differences, from many other men whom to me to have to meet daily, for example, on work, in the street and so on. Very much to like me your character and how you argue, think, how you are able to write me letters. I hope, you will concern it with understanding! :)
I very much wish to set to you some questions: whether you have the correspondence with other women? For example, from Russia? And how you consider, probably, whether to find the good friend, or the person who will be more than simply good friend, using the Internet?
I have decided to take an interest because when I have decided to get acquainted with the man on the Internet, I, in general, and did not believe that using modern communication media it is possible to find the good friend or the favourite person. BUT now I start to understand, that I, most likely, was mistaken! After all it really works, at least, I can argue so, seeing how we develops with you acquaintance! :). And what you think in this occasion, the darling?
Now I am going to send to you this letter, and then to make the supper. Today it will be something a lung, I think it there will be a vegetable salad. And you like to prepare? You prefer what dishes? I very much like to spend time on kitchen, but I not always have enough time for it. I hope, you had today good day, lovely!
I again look forward your letter, and I hope for your reciprocity in it! :)
I send you one, but very gentle kiss!:-*
Letter 4
Greetings, my good man Raymond!
The warmest and kindest wishes to you, my sweet! The darling, how you today? You do me more happily with each your letter!I work two and after two days I have a rest and so is constant! Excuse me but I yet have no such possibility to speak on the phone with you but I will soon correct it!! And I very much would not want, that once you ceased to write to me, I think it would deliver me weight of disappointment! I wish to tell, that every day, I would like to keep in touch more with you, to learn about you more and more. I even began to notice, that when I am on work or still somewhere where I cannot read your letters, I very much miss on you, the darling! :)
I hope, you correctly understand it. And it at all a joke! Probably, it is all because you very kind and good man, you cause in me only positive emotions! I consider you fair and sincere! Please, never change and be always such what you are now! As you like me such what you are now. :)
Today I had not the simple working day, but, not looking at all it, day has passed easily and I am absolutely not tired. There can be this all because I had today a fine mood and in the street there was a fine weather. In such days, I feel especially well and vigorously!
On the nature I am a pensive person! I very often dream, after all so it is possible at least sometimes on a short time interval to keep away from an existing reality and to cheer myself up, if it bad during that moment! Often in the thoughts I represent good relations between the man and the woman, the first appointments, the first kisses, the first bunch of flowers which is given by the man, coming on appointment! And you like to dream? Whether there is at you a treasured dream? If to you it is not difficult, tell to me about it! :)
You know, I wish to admit to you, that that man my dreams, it you... I do not know why so, but now often I imagine you in the dreams! I do not know, what to pick up words to explain that I feel. We are familiar with you of all week, but I have sensations, that we are familiar with you the whole eternity. I cannot name certain that I test to you. It can love, there can be a love... Nevertheless, I ask you, please, do not think of me badly, I have only told about some feelings. And you test any feelings under the relation to me?
It is a pity, but now I should finish this letter and start to do the affairs on the house. Tonight I have started houses cleaning :).
I will wait tomorrow from you the letter. I give you the gentle kiss.
Yours Kseniya.
Letter 5
Greetings my heart and my soul Raymond! How you today? I hope all well with you, my darling! I am glad to read your next letter!I have neither brother nor sister I have one daughter and only my parents!
I am happy to realise, that I have such good friend as you. And I am happy to know, that you test the same feelings to me which are tested also by me to you! I am am done by it happy and "inspires"! Even if my day passes not absolutely well, and I have bad mood, having recollected you, me it becomes better, my mood improves, and I cease to pay attention to those troubles which occurred to me within day! :)
And when you think of me, whether your mood becomes better, the darling?
But nevertheless, I think it is necessary to "face the truth", having only correspondence by means the Internet, we will not become successful in our relations and for this reason, I consider, once personal meeting in a real life will be simply necessary for us! I ask you, the darling, please, be not afflicted on me and do not think of me badly, I very much like our correspondence, I like to read your letters. But would be where better if once, we could stand face to face, walk together in park or have a fine supper at candles. Whether you share my opinion, the darling? Whether you thought sometime what we will need to meet in a real life? By the way, send me, please, your photos!
Still I would like to tell to you that this night I had a dream in which we with you were together. We were not divided by those thousand kilometres which actually divide now me and you. We went with you on autumn park, keeping for hands, and lovely talked about something, laughing thus. If to describe it in a few words, to us it was very good together. It is a pity, that this dream was short. But nevertheless, I very much liked it, and I have woken up in madly good mood! :) And I sometime dreamt you? I think all it not casually... :)
I hope, you are not frightened by my thoughts, and you will not stop to write to me, after that frank letter!
My warmest wishes to you.
Tomorrow with impatience I will wait your letter, my darling!
I kiss you!!!

Letter 7
Greetings, my most good man Raymond!
How today there has passed your day? How your health? I believe all well at you! I am glad, that you have again written to me!
And now I hasten to write too to you the letter, the darling! :) My day has passed today very well and at me excellent mood!
In last letter as you remember, I said, that the real meeting because to learn the person completely through the Internet, through letters will be shortly simply necessary for us. Simply it is not possible. Today's night I practically did not sleep, I thought of you, about our acquaintance, friendship and in general as a whole about us, that between us can and should happen.
I even at all do not regret that this night I did not sleep, is on the contrary glad to it. I have drawn for myself some conclusions if it is possible so to say. And now, when I write you this letter, I try to collect all forces. It is hard To me to do by the first such serious and responsible steps, therefore I hope, that you correctly will understand me and will support... I still have never doubted you and your serious intentions.
My darling, I wish to meet you. I wish to see you in a real life! It is very important and responsible step to development of our further acquaintance, a step probably to our happy future, a step towards each other, a step towards to our destiny.
You never asked yourself a question why in so boundless open spaces of the Internet the destiny has reduced us? Perhaps, it simply will of a case, and can be and our destiny! :) After all it not accident as I do not trust in accidents and coincidence. It is chance which was given to us by destiny, and this chance we should not miss at all, my darling!
Especially I have still some good news which can please both me, and you! Today I talked to my boss about my holiday. As I was not in holiday still, I can already go on leave in the end of this week, beginning approximately since Saturday, I can forget for 1,5 months about my work! I am simply happy, to know it! Please, do not think that I lazy, I too the live person and me would be desirable to make a respite! And now I really have such possibility. Still I am am inspired by that we have got acquainted with you and I can devote the holiday to you, the darling! We could meet in one of these days! What do you think of it? I think, that you will be pleased too with such news! At least, I am very happy with it!
Now I will finish this letter.
But I do not despair, after all I have you, and you have I, remember it, the darling!
I gently whole also look forward you of your answer.
Yours Kseniya.
Letter 8
Hi, my dear Raymond !As your affairs today? Than you have been occupied in the afternoon? Whether There was at you, what that new? I wish to be with you fair and I wish to tell to you that to me not so simply to dare to leave in other country, but my feelings to you are stronger, than fear. I am assured that with me that not to happen when I I will arrive to your country as I know that with you I will be in full safety, I trust you. I would like to meet you as our meeting much will show, we more and are deeper we can learn each other. I very much wish to be near to you. I think that you can be trusted. You that person with whom I would like to create serious relations on for the rest of the life. You wanted
It? Whether you thought of it? The darling we wish to meet and we need to know that to us is necessary to meet with each other. For this purpose I descended travelling agency and there all have explained to me that is necessary, that our meeting became a reality. If it is possible, I would not like to postpone our meeting. I do not wish to lose you. Today when I had a free time I has gone to travelling agency. And all has learnt about my possible trip to you and what documents are necessary to me that I could arrive to you. I am very glad to that all has appeared, not so is confused as it it seemed at first sight. But thus I am not much upset. As expenses for that have made necessary documents makes 844 euro. This money goes on that the agency has issued to me the whole package of documents which includes the visa, the passport for travel abroad, the insurance, two return tickets and other small documents. I did not know exact exchange rate and consequently I have gone to the Central Bank of Russia to ask to translate them to me these figures in roubles, to learn the exact sum which it is required to pay to agency. To me have translated these figures and I have been very surprised to that sum which to me have told. I certainly guessed that all costs much, but that it costed so expensively!!! It I as could not expect. I cannot pay this sum, I simply do not have such big money. I very much wish to meet you, but that fact that for a meeting with each other we need to pay money to agency, me very much upsets. I now write you the letter and thought that after you will read my letter you too will be upset, these thoughts do to me even more painfully. I now do not know that to me to do, as my thoughts all have mixed up. Thoughts come to a head that we cannot meet you, to me I that I can not do with myself would not be desirable to think of it, but. I was very much upset with such news. Now I will send you the letter that you were well informed about these news which I have learnt today. If expenses on my trip to you are expensive to you you can not doubt that I will understand this situation. After all sometimes it is necessary to refuse to itself in many respects, not looking on our desires. In any case I am very glad that we have got acquainted with you with each other, we will be good friends. I will have supper and I will lay down to sleep, but I think that at me it not to turn out to fall asleep, as I will think of you. In this situation I do not know that would be desirable me more that tomorrow has more soon come or on the contrary did not come. I think that you will find the true decision and I will wait your answer. Good-bye my berry. I hope, that for us still that it is not lost. Your girlfriend kseniya.
Letter 9
My darling you that do not trust me? If you do not trust me that as it is possible to speak about that as we will be together then when relations are under construction on trust and you do not test this trust to me! You are very a pity to me that so can badly think of me I is upset! You to me write what for to spend money when I I can arrive to you to and without that that you would arrive to Russia! Think over that that you trust me!
Letter 10

I ask you once again prove me that that I will be in an integrity and safety near to you I very much wish to trust in the return that my girlfriend has told to me as I do not have patience more to test to you these strong feelings on the Internet I wish love in a reality instead of virtuality if you as is strong as well as I love me and you want that will give very soon to me clear and authentic explanations concerning words of my girlfriend about bad hospitality at you abroad.

Presumption of a Cover-Up …
Judges and lawyers know that – if someone intentionally destroys evidence – he's probably trying to hide his crime. American law has long recognized that destruction of evidence raises a presumption of guiltfor the person who destroyed the evidence.
So what does it mean when the US government intentionally destroyed massive amounts of evidence related to 9/11?
Judge and Prosecutor Destroy Evidence
For example, it was revealed last week that the judge overseeing the trial of surviving 9/11 suspectsconspired with the prosecution to destroy evidence relevant to a key suspect's defense. And see this.

This Letter presents a method for enhancing the depth resolution of terahertz deconvolution based on autoregressive (AR) spectral extrapolation. The terahertz frequency components with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are modeled with an AR process, and the missing frequency components in the regions with low SNRs are extrapolated based on the AR model. In this way, the entire terahertz frequency spectrum of the impulse response function, corresponding to the material structure, is recovered. This method, which is verified numerically and experimentally, is able to provide a "quasi-ideal" impulse response function and, therefore, greatly enhances the depth resolution for characterizing optically thin layers in the terahertz regime.

Various concepts of self-identity and purpose for being human that assist us in further knowing ourselves as empowered, independent reflections of Source energy. Creating this version of a human experience requires one to expand beyond and all limiting beliefs and truths and create ways for integrating more and more of our expanded consciousness into practical and meaningful ways of our daily lives. Is being human also being Divine? Are humans of value individually or only as a collective? Does being human infer your expanded Self/Soul is somehow not whole or not evolved, or it wouldn't have to incarnate? So many popular spiritual teachings and religions actually limit our expansion without our realizing it. Fine, depending on what you are seeking; further separation or knowing yourSelf as Source in human form.
Love and blessings,
Jill Renee Feeler

This piece was originally published Dec. 9, 2001.
"Ninety percent of bakeries work the dough right out of the mixer," says Louis Sarcone Jr., 38, snappy in his baker's whites, his crew sliding long wooden paddles into – and then back out of – the tile-faced brick ovens. "We let it sit two hours before we touch it. "
He is trying to answer my question, which, simply put, is this: What's the flavor secret of the distinctive seeded breads and round rolls Sarcone's has sold since Grandfather Luigi started baking downstairs in 1918?
This is daily bread, artisanal only because it was never otherwise: $1.25 for a long sesame-seeded loaf (a nickel less for no seeds), the rolls priced just as amazingly: $2.50 for a dozen cushiony kaisers.
Sarcone sneers at gourmet stores selling bread for $3 "that's not half as good. " But he is proud, and he is proud to be stubborn. After an arsonist's firebomb – thought to be the work of a single firebug – scorched the front shop last fall, he reopened within weeks, selling loaves out of brown paper bags, and just two months ago unveiled an artfully retiled and remodeled retail space.
Still, he didn't raise prices.
Nowhere have I eaten such remarkable bread, delicately crisp in its eggshell-thin crust; light, moist and stretchy (but not squishy) in the crumb; a slight tang of salt giving it, for want of a better word, presence.
It is morning-warm bread, almost all of it for the walk-in trade. It doesn't circulate widely beyond its Ninth Street home.
Just 2,000 loaves a day come out of the cast-iron mouths of the ovens, some headed for South Philadelphia hoagie shops or, quirkily, the storefront Vietnamese hoagie places on Eighth Street that warm it until the crust magnificently crackles and then stuff it with cilantro, bright cucumber, meats and pate.
"I could double my business in a minute," boasts Louis Sr., Sarcone's father, now 66. "But I'd be the same as Amoroso. I want to be different. "
He cannot be different, he says, or true to his father's memory unless he lets the dough rest – it takes fully six hours (and three risings) from start to finished loaf. And unless he uses the same Pillsbury flour. ("I could buy cheaper flour, but I would never change the flour. ") And forgoes chemical shortcuts, employing only water, flour, salt and yeast to work their traditional magic.
Still, the biggest flavor secret, in his opinion, is the one industrial bakers have abandoned for speed and blandness: You need to bake the bread directly on the oven's firebrick floor to draw flavor out of the dough (not in metal trays in one of those newfangled revolving ovens).
Despite its pedigree, Sarcone's doesn't fit the typical profile of Italian bread. It doesn't possess that Tuscan density; or ciabatta's drier, bubbled texture; or the peasant chewiness of the loaves from Cacia's, a few blocks away.
In fact, but for its distinctly Italian dough, the styling – the look, texture, baking and shape – gives it a certain Frenchified aspect.
Once upon a time, Sarcone's sold another, denser, heavier round Sicilian bread, Louis Sr. tells me. But demand petered out as the old-timers died.
Little else has changed, thank goodness. Nor do the Sarcones – more than 80 years later – have illusions of empire or grandeur.
"My grandfather used to say," says Louis Jr., "'Put too much food in your mouth, you can't chew. '"
L. Sarcone & Son, 756 S. Ninth St., 215-922-0445

Blake Lively just wore her seventh suit of the week at the MTV VMAs…but fans are divided
Blake's all-white ensemble has divided social media overnight
BLAKE Lively's MTV VMAs outfit is causing quite the stir on social media this morning.
The fashion-forward actress is known for her enviable style, but divided viewers after arriving at the annual awards ceremony in an all-white suit - and one fan has even suggested the star "dressed like a head mistress".
The 30-year-old's two-piece ensemble was by European designer Ralph & Russo, and featured a fitted blazer with sparkly lapels.
Blake paired the jacket with a buttoned-up crisp white shirt.
The snug blazer was contrasted with a pair of dramatic, oversized culottes with pleated sides and a wide-leg fit.
And while some fans have praised the actress for her bold look, others have slammed Blake for dressing "like a head mistress".
One user took to Twitter to gush about Blake's power suit, and said: "Blake Lively does a suit better than anyone. Man or woman."
While another impressed viewer asked how they could get hold of the all-white ensemble for their wedding.
"Can we talk about Blake Lively at the VMAs tonight and how am I going to wear that outfit as my wedding dress," they wrote.
One user thanked Blake for "actually wearing clothes" to the star-studded event.
But despite the praise, others were less than impressed, with one user asking: "Why does Blake Lively look like Ellen?" And another questioning whether Blake's stylist would be getting fired.
One viewer even tweeted: "I need Blake Lively to dress a bit younger to the #VMA...Like this isn't the Oscars..."
Although the outfit has provoked mixed reactions, it's unsurprising that the actress chose to grace the red carpet in yet another power suit.
Over the last week, Blake has been out and about promoting her new movie, A Simple Favor - which will be released in the UK in September.
And since Friday, she's worn SEVEN different suits, in various colours and patterns and by an array of designers, including a neon green Versace number and a Roland Mouret multicoloured trouser suit.
As one Twitter user pointed out, Blake "could wear a rug and still look stunning".
Fancy reading more about this year's MTV VMAs? From Blake Lively to Blac Chyna, these are the best and worst red carpet looks.
We also told you about Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott being 'moved away' from Nicki Minaj at MTV VMAs after Twitter fight.
And we told you about Jennifer Lopez bursting into tears as she receives MTV VMAs Vanguard Award.

With incredible sadness, my mom and I had to say goodbye to one of our cats this week. Tiger was one of the smartest, most loving cats I have ever known. He had a way of looking at you and different meows for different things so you always knew just what he wanted. He was very vocal and greeted us with a meow every morning and always responded when addressed.
We don't know how old he was as he was a stray that my mom adopted. She had him for at least 15 years though and he was fully grown when he joined our family so he had a good, long life. He suffered from FIV and had a skin condition as a result but he never let it slow him down too much. Even suffering the indignity of wearing a rabbit harness to keep him from scratching.
He'd been losing weight all summer and fall. We almost lost him a little over a week ago but he seemed to rally and we thought he might recover but, finally, this week, he grew too weak to eat despite us doing all the coaxing and babying we could. We feel his absence greatly. His favorite spot was on top of the picnic table in our yard in full sunlight. He would lay there for hours and listen to the birds. I'm thankful for the mild winter we've had so far. It allowed him to have some lovely days outside in the sun in his last two weeks.
I wrote the following story for him just after he passed. Give your kitties an extra scratch under the chin today and love them.

Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Revelation 7.16-17.
Centuries before John had his vision on the island of Patmos, the prophet Isaiah had looked forward through time and had also seen the day of God's salvation that John is now seeing. In almost exactly the same words as John uses, he describes that day as one in which God will gather his people from the four corners of the earth, Jews and gentiles, and when "they will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water" (Isaiah 49.10). The difference is that "He who has compassion on them" in Isaiah has become, in Revelation, "the Lamb at the centre of the throne" who is now "their shepherd".
I remember that, in about 1977, my wife who was then a music student at Nottingham University, working from the RSV, set to music the words "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd" in the style of Handel as part of her course-work. I can sing it still! And what a beautiful joining of images it is. Jesus, "the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1.29) and who as our "passover lamb" sacrificed for us (1 Corinthians 5.7) forever bears in his glorious resurrection body the marks of that sacrifice (John 20.20, 27), now becomes the shepherd who leads his flock to springs of living water. The "good shepherd" who has laid down his life for the sheep (John 10.11) now becomes "the great shepherd" of those sheep (Hebrews 13.20).
And he leads them not only to the living water but to the Father … for it is the Father who wipes away every tear from the eyes of his people. Again John is echoing Isaiah: "The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces" (Isaiah 25.8). And as Alan F Johnson has said, "only through the resurrection can all this become real". Disembodied souls cannot drink from springs of living water and insubstantial spirits certainly cannot have tears wiped from their eyes. The ultimate destination of God's people is a new heaven and a new earth to which the heavenly city comes down (Revelation 21.1-2) … a real conjoined heaven and earth in which we shall have real resurrection bodies from which real tears can be wiped (Revelation 21.4).
The King of love my Shepherd is
whose goodness faileth never …
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
within Thy house for ever!

James Freedman is a disconcerting man with whom to chat. You'll be passing the time of day, discussing the weather or your shared childhood memories, when suddenly and without warning he'll be brandishing your wallet, your keys, your mobile phone and anything else of any value you may be carrying on your person.
Don't believe me? Watch the video above filmed just after our chat, in which he talks about his show Man Of Steal and reveals just what I thought I had in my pockets!
The light-fingered fraudster and security expert is a modern day, real life – if more mature – Artful Dodger. What he lacks in soot-smudged features and child-like innocence, he makes up for in charm, cheek and an encyclopaedic knowledge of how to separate you from all you hold dear.
He even had his own Fagin, a nameless chap he literally bumped into outside Harrods. To clarify, when they bumped Freedman picked the fellow's pocket, but only to retrieve a purse he'd previously seen pinched from a handbag. When he returned the booty the strapping pickpocket, who'd felt Freedman's then inexpert fingers doing their wandering, had a few choice words to say. Instead of taking him quietly down a back street and introducing Freedman to his size 10s, the career criminal first tried to recruit him then agreed to mentor him.
"It's one thing to know how to steal, it's another thing entirely to understand how to do it," Freedman explains. "It sounds the same, but it's the difference between knowing how a carpenter makes something and being able to do it. It's the difference between the art and the craft."
Freedman, whose show plays at the Trafalgar Studio 1 this summer following a successful season at the Menier Chocolate Factory, can do both.
I can testify to the fact that he is a perfect practical pickpocket. Again, just check the video to see the proof of what he managed to lift even while I was alert to the fact that he has a tendency to delve into pockets.
But his knowledge is as scary, both in its depth and its use.
If I had a superpower it would be paranoia. Half an hour in Freedman's company and I've reached new heights of suspicion. I've learned that apple picking and blackberry picking are not just autumnal country pursuits, that the term sidekick has a rather insalubrious beginning – the side is a jacket pocket, the kick, well, it's just that – and that the mug's pocket, that one in the back of your trousers, has that name for a very good reason.
But I've also learned that "The easier it is to use, the easier it is to abuse." That contactless card that you don't even have to remove from your wallet to use can have all its information scanned with a phone brushed against your leg. The USB socket you've just plugged your phone into to replenish the battery; do you know what's on the other side and what info is being downloaded? That sign warning you of pickpockets; it's also helping those same guttersnipes discover exactly where you're carrying your valuables.
It's a little terrifying, but also hugely fascinating. There's a glamour, an allure, an art to it.
"I sleep at night. I don't have moral issues, because what I do is always going to be honest," Freedman smiles. "The information I got from my mentor, which I couldn't have got any other way, I now use to work with police forces and security professionals. I think I've saved thousands and thousands of people with advice and I tweet tips from @jamesfreedman. I could never be a criminal. I couldn't do that any more than you can go to Sainsbury's and put everything in your pockets. It's your moral code. I was brought up right; I just have a fascination with theft."
While he spent most of our time taking things from me, having spent a few minutes with Freedman, he's also given me that same fascination… and a healthier distrust of everyone around me.
James Freedman: Man Of Steal plays at the Traflagar Studio 1 until 4 July. You can book tickets through us here.

The only thing missing now is LOVE FIST!
I don't know this game but why does Twintelle have arms but this one doesn't? Is she an amputee? If we're going to see her nekkid, how would that work? where would her arms be attached to?!
@Pyrtov What? like replacing the nipple with a horsecock? nope furthest thing from anybody's mind.
Love this! does it have Imperial measurements? if not it's fine I'll just edit it myself. Thanks!
@LordAardvark I've been visiting the Fallen Throne wiki page every now and then to see if there's new developments. I'm really excited to see a full blown Universe develop around Nualia even if it takes a very long time to do so. Comics, Videos anything about Fallen Trhrone is really exciting. For now I'm just rewatching Kuroinu over and over again.
perfect for zoidberg.
@pharah-best-girl Seriously, thanks for trying to port this properly into a solo working model. IMHO the best Pharah model anywhere. I'm just too dumb to use this headhack properly...
would've been great to have an Andy Dwyer experience but thumbs up for the port!
@yadalieu teach me senpai! lol. seriously though you should make a video tutorial. because if people could learn this, sfmlab's content will flourish. great job!

I first had the chance to use one of the Equi Cool Down towels at the Tevis this year. I had never heard of this product before and now I was surrounded with people using them at all of the vet checks during the heat of the day. Crews were dunking them in buckets of ice water and putting them on my horse Bo's neck, or handing one to me to put on my own neck. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about these towels and how they work. I contacted Equi Cool Down, a company based in Florida, USA and they sent me some of their items to trial.
I tested all of the items during August when it was hot on both of my horses. I took temperature readings in all different kinds of conditions with my heat gun and took photos to document the difference with and without the cooling towels so that we could compare. We used the cooling products at a couple of different endurance rides and the conclusion is that yes, they really do work to help with cooling down for both horse and human. They work best if there is constant air movement so are perfect to put on a horse coming into a vet check, or to use during a vet check you just need to simply flap the material to activate.
Equi Cool Down Pros:
Equi Cool Down wraps do not require refrigeration.
They are reusable
They can be hand washed or machine washed
They do provide cooling that is generally 20-30 degrees cooler than without
They minimize heat and inflammation
Easy to activate by flapping material, or by movement
This is a patented product. You can buy it cheaper elsewhere, but it isn't the same thing, the old adage applies here: "you get what you pay for".
Equi Cool Down Cons:
These can dry out and possibly crack if you don't wet them before bending
You do need to keep movement going to keep them working
Sizing for horses was based on larger sized horses than my 15.1 hh Arabians, though the material is easy to trim down
Note that it is recommended that if you are going to store these for an extended period to allow them to dry. Otherwise, for frequent and regular use keep them damp inside the zippered plastic storage bags that they come in.
Check out the difference in temperature with and without the Equi Cool Down products. I would have to say that this product meets and exceeds expectations and performs as well and even better than the manufacturer claims.

Since the late 1980s, when it debuted in the hinterlands of college football, the high-octane passing attack known as the "Air Raid" has grown into the most explosive, most fabulous and most influential offense in the land.
The scheme, perfected by and most closely associated with the former Texas Tech and current Washington State head coach Mike Leach, calls for a more aggressive and creative approach to passing than anyone thought feasible in college football, where skill levels can be wanting and mistakes rampant. Just one team has won the national championship while running the Air Raid: the 2000 Oklahoma Sooners, who learned the offense the previous year from a 38-year-old offensive coordinator — Mike Leach.
Now the Sooners are again contending for a national title. They play Georgia on Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl. Once again, they are running a version of the Air Raid. It's working. This season the Sooners led every top-tier team in yards per game (583) and passing plays of at least 40 yards (27). Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 4,340 yards and 41 touchdowns with a 71 percent completion rate, and won the Heisman Trophy.
The Sooners' first-year head coach, Lincoln Riley, is as steeped in the Air Raid as anyone: He was both a quarterback and a staff member under Leach. Riley became a full-time assistant coach at Texas Tech under Leach when he was just 23.
The Air Raid is as much about audacity as intellect. Leach never played college football, and he graduated from law school. Endlessly colorful, he has a stoner-bro sense of humor and similarly whimsical approach to offense. He has won more than 120 games as a head coach, but his teams have never finished a season ranked higher than 12th nationally.
While coaches who run it need to know their Xs and Os, they really need chutzpah. The quintessential Air Raid play is called Four Verticals: four wide receivers sprinting up the field.
Riley has pointed to Leach's outside-the-box thinking as the thing that most informed his approach to football. Oklahoma's co-offensive coordinator Bill Bedenbaugh, who played under Mumme and Leach at Iowa Wesleyan, said the offense remained hugely influential to the Sooners, who have supplemented many of its passing concepts with a more robust run game. Today's team runs several plays that Iowa Wesleyan ran three decades ago, Bedenbaugh said, "and we call'em the same."
Yet while the Air Raid's ability to goose teams' offensive numbers is undeniable, its win-loss record is spottier for several reasons. The blue bloods who tend to dominate college football have mostly been averse to the unconventional scheme, and its frenetic pace can strain the defense of any team that uses it because that unit ends up spending much more time on the field.
However, since it is so potent in disrupting powerful and traditional defenses, it's a perfect weapon for overmatched schools that are not at the top of the pecking order, according to Hal Mumme, who first developed the Air Raid in 1989 at the tiny Iowa Wesleyan College. Leach, who was Mumme's assistant at the time, was hooked from the get-go.
"It's a way of thinking, a way of being," said S.C. Gwynne, author of "The Perfect Pass," a book about creation of the Air Raid.
Riley and Leach's other acolytes now comprise one of the sport's most influential diasporas.
"The fraternity will always be strong," West Virginia Coach Dana Holgorsen said in an interview earlier this year. "When we see each other, it's like you're seeing your brother from a long time ago."
Another national title will provide extra vindication.
Hal Mumme and LaVell Edwards taught the world to play football fast.
Hal Mumme, former Kentucky head coach. Starting at tiny Iowa Wesleyan in 1989, Mumme invented the Air Raid. He is currently the offensive coordinator at Jackson State.
LaVell Edwards, former Brigham Young head coach. Edwards, who died in 2016, inspired Mumme and Leach (who attended B.Y.U.) to use passing routes to stretch defenses beyond their means.
These men all served under Mike Leach.
Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma head coach. He walked on at Texas Tech as a backup quarterback and quickly realized his calling, becoming a student assistant to Leach after one season. Riley spent several years in Lubbock, then moved to East Carolina before Bob Stoops hired him as his offensive coordinator at Oklahoma three seasons ago. When Stoops unexpectedly retired last summer, Riley became the youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia head coach. Holgorsen was a wide receiver at Iowa Wesleyan and later served under Mumme and Leach. Before he was at West Virginia, he also installed the Air Raid at Houston and at Oklahoma State (where Coach Mike Gundy still oversees a pass-happy offense).
Sonny Dykes, Southern Methodist head coach. Dykes served on Mumme's staff at Kentucky, and under Leach at Texas Tech. He has been a head coach at Louisiana Tech, Cal, and, currently, S.M.U.
Mark Mangino, former Iowa State offensive coordinator. Mangino was the offensive coordinator on that 2000 Sooners team. He later served as Kansas' head coach.
Cale Gundy, co-offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. A former Oklahoma player, Gundy has been an assistant coach there since 1999. His older brother is Oklahoma State's head coach.
Seven men who played for Leach now hold prominent coaching positions — and spread the precepts of the Air Raid.
Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech head coach. Kingsbury was Leach's first quarterback at Texas Tech. He proceeded to break most school and Big 12 passing records.
Josh Heupel, Central Florida head coach. The Oklahoma quarterback during that 2000 championship season, Heupel just received his first head-coaching job.
Sonny Cumbie, offensive coordinator at Texas Christian. The other Texas Air Raid disciple named "Sonny." Like Riley, Cumbie was a walk-on and backup at Texas Tech who later coached for Leach. He served under Kingsbury and now takes care of the offense for a defense-minded Gary Patterson at T.C.U.
Seth Littrell, North Texas head coach. Littrell scored two touchdowns as a running back on Oklahoma's championship team; he scored eight the year before, when Leach ran the offense. He was later the running backs coach at Texas Tech.
Graham Harrell, offensive coordinator at North Texas. A three-year starting quarterback for Leach at Texas Tech, Harrell owns or shares several top-tier college football records. During his senior season in 2007 he threw for more than 400 yards in 11 of 13 games.
Neal Brown, Troy head coach. A little-used wide receiver at Kentucky for two seasons under Mumme (and one under Leach), he gained his Air Raid wings several years ago at Troy under Tony Franklin, who coached with Mumme and Leach at Kentucky.
Bill Bedenbaugh, co-offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. Like Holgorsen, Bedenbaugh played for Mumme and Leach at Iowa Wesleyan. Much later, he served under Holgorsen at West Virginia. Now he and Cale Gundy serve as Riley's right-hand men on offense.
The Air Raid has been around long enough that there are prominent coaches who are at least two degrees removed from Leach.
Jake Spavital, offensive coordinator at West Virginia. Spavital coached under Holgorsen at three different programs.
Mike Jinks, Bowling Green head coach. Kingsbury plucked Jinks out of the Texas high school coaching circuit to serve on his Texas Tech staff. Bowling Green hired Jinks before the 2016 season.
Doug Meacham, offensive coordinator at Kansas. Meacham coached under Holgorsen at Oklahoma State and alongside Cumbie at T.C.U.
Rob Likens, offensive coordinator at Arizona State. Likens traveled with Dykes from Louisiana Tech to Cal, where he helped make Jared Goff the top N.F.L. draft pick in 2016.
Though not always loyal to the Air Raid, these coaches know it well.
Art Briles, former Baylor head coach. Briles, who was fired in 2016 following revelations of widespread sexual assault allegations against Baylor players, designed a powerful, pass-happy offense as a Texas high school football coach. His first college job, though, was as Leach's running backs coach at Texas Tech.
Tony Franklin, offensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State. He calls his offense "The System," but its pedigree is the Air Raid. He served on Mumme's Kentucky staff.
Kevin Sumlin, former Texas A&M head coach. Sumlin's offenses have had several different styles — not counting what Johnny Manziel decided to do on any given play. Sumlin was an Oklahoma assistant, and Holgorsen was his offensive coordinator at Houston.

Do i need an seo company
One of the best ways that you can find accomplishment would be to employ a good SEO company. Of course, to be able to consider the right companies, you have to know what you're looking for. There are a variety of things to watch if you hunt for the correct company. Of course, the business that is a part of result from different companies that are befitting for others. You must think about the valuables in the website, working together with industry and the sum of money spent to obtain the perfect money SEO companies.
White Hat SEO way is made up of quality and appropriate keyword analysis, link building, building Backlinks, and writing Keyword-rich content for human visitors along with search engine spiders. Also known as ethical SEO, white hat SEO services are likely to be used and intended by all those business people who intend to make a long-term investment on their own business website.
With countless online competitors, achieving a high ranking in Google's first page is quite difficult. You can either select long tailed keywords or short keywords using the searching, as well as the more specific your keywords are, a lot more likely your time and efforts will probably pay off. Implementing the keywords inside the content inside the right proportion doesn't only result in the spiders rank the web site higher and can also keep your website much before its competitors.
Unethical SEO, for deficiency of better word is trying to cheat the device. First off, search engines like google work by sending spiders or robots that will search and browse through every one of the websites inside the Web. They look for content, links, addresses, pages top seo and the like. Every system includes a loophole and they also spend all of their time looking for it in search engines like google as an alternative to helping their potential customers attract traffic through ancient hard-work. Of course, their customers are elated through the results as they immediately get high rankings inside search results. But that is only artificial so when engines like google still tweak their systems, specifically to get rid of these artificial rankings, you will discover your website being the first to be affected in case http://www.seohawk.co.in/ you employ the assistance of a SEO firm which utilizes Unethical SEO techniques, watching a your website disappears.
It takes a long time to find out and perhaps a longer period to unlearn things. Especially, whether it is a habit there is grown painstakingly, receiving praises for every single little improvement shown. Yes, I am talking about SEO practices which may have changed so much lately. SEO was always evolving, true but on this occasion the changes are already so huge that it's going to take a several months perhaps to find out the modern ways and most importantly, to unlearn the previous practices.

The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot
By Craig Ferguson
Illustrated. 288 pp. Harper/HarperCollins Publishers. $25.99
Craig Ferguson isn't kidding. That's what struck me as I turned the pages of the Scottish late-night comedian's memoir, "American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot." Almost every time Ferguson has a chance to go for a cheap, easy laugh — the mother's milk of late-night comedy — he runs in the opposite direction. Take the opening scene in which he meets George W. Bush at a reception before the 2008 White House Correspondents' Association dinner, where Ferguson, a newly minted American citizen, is to be the entertainment. He recognizes that making fun of Bush near the end of his catastrophic presidency would be like shooting fish in a barrel, so what does he do instead? He bonds with Bush as a fellow recovering alcoholic, clinking glasses of sparkling water with him as the president makes an earnest toast to America. I repeat: this is the opening scene of a book by a comedian. That's what we in the comedy business call courage, and it pretty much sets the tone for the rest of this memoir, in which Ferguson admirably avoids wisecracks and instead goes for something like wisdom.
The fact that Ferguson has the Scottish version of chutzpah shouldn't come as a surprise to regular viewers of his TV program, "The Late Late Show," on CBS. Since his debut as host in 2005, he has evolved into something of an anti-Leno, trading the rapid-fire delivery of canned topical jokes cooked up in a writers' room for something more idiosyncratic and risky: a loopy, seemingly ad-libbed monologue in which he talks with, not at, the audience. (I say "seemingly" because Ferguson, of course, has a roomful of writers and is working from bullet points, but his performance skills are such that he makes his monologues sound like they're something daft that just occurred to him.) There's no one else like him on television, and he's achieved something unusual in late night: a sense of intimacy with his audience. In "American on Purpose" he establishes a similar bond with the reader. Like Steve Martin in his similarly engaging memoir, "Born Standing Up," Ferguson tells the life story of a comedian without letting jokes get in the way.
Born in 1962, he had the kind of grim childhood that seemed destined to result in a career in comedy. Chubby and bullied, he grew up in a city planner's nightmare of a town called Cumbernauld, 15 miles outside Glasgow. (Ferguson notes that Cumbernauld was recently rated the second-worst town in the United Kingdom, an appraisal he finds unjustifiably flattering.) During an obligatory punk phase in the early '80s in which he played drums for a band called the Dreamboys, he was fortunate to have as a band-mate the actor Peter Capaldi, who inspired him to try comedy. "Peter was the first person who told me that being funny was a gift and, when done well, was an art form," he writes. "Up until this point, I had learned that being funny, particularly in school, was stupid and could get you physically injured."
fter a first shot at comedy in which he was so visibly nervous that the audience started chanting "Iz knees are knockin!" he went back to the drawing board, inventing a character to play at a gong show in Glasgow. "I decided I would do a parody of all the über-patriotic native folk singers who seemed to infect every public performance in Scotland and appeared on local television every New Year in the annual orgy of maudlin, folksy sentimentality that the Scots call Hogmanay." The character, Bing Hitler, eventually became a smash at the 1986 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and Ferguson was on his way.
But even as he was developing the kind of courage that served him well as a comedian, Ferguson was busy draining too many pints of the other kind, and his memoir chronicles the decade-long bout with alcoholism that almost killed him. "I have an addictive personality," he notes. "I'll try anything a hundred times just to make sure I don't like it." He hit bottom on Christmas Day in 1991 when he decided to end his life by jumping off Tower Bridge in London. Fortunately for him, he ran into a friend who offered him a glass of sherry, distracting him from the task at hand. A successful stint in rehab came next.
If "American on Purpose" is, in part, a memoir about Ferguson's alcoholism and his triumph over it, it is also an account of an addiction he's unlikely to kick: his obsession with America. He first got hooked as a child, when NASA responded to his letter expressing interest in becoming the first Scottish astronaut by sending him a lavish book and two posters about space; he became intoxicated again when, thanks to the budget airline flights of Sir Freddie Laker, he visited New York as a teenager. His current success in the United States has only borne out his impossibly high opinion of the place. To Ferguson, America is a land of boundless opportunity where even a guy with a thick Scottish brogue, a self-destructive past and a "creepy laugh" can tuck the nation into bed every weeknight and become rich and famous doing it.Continue reading the main story
There's some irony in the spectacle of a man who jump-started his comedy career by lampooning a Scottish über-patriot becoming an American über-patriot, but Ferguson doesn't acknowledge it. A book that begins with him sharing a toast to America with George W. Bush ends with a chapter full of heartfelt declarations of love for his chosen country. Speaking of his on-air campaign for citizenship, he writes, "I wanted . . . native-born Americans to understand the thrill and exhilaration that comes from joining the land of the free." Once again, Craig Ferguson isn't kidding. To be an American this patriotic, it probably helps to be Scottish.
