Name of RP: Flight Of The Wyverns
Link: http://forums.dragcave.net/index.php?showtopic=135270
# of active RPers: We haven't started yet, but the only RPers I have right now is me and one other RPer. I would like to have four more people join before it can start.
Plot Summary: In the year 4012, on Earth, the cities and most small towns all over the globe have become barren wasteland, covered in a toxic fog, which has claimed the lives of many. Although it seems only those places have the fog, much of the wildlife, along with forests, jungles and rainforests and overall wilderness are somehow still alive and strong. In place of the metropolises and small towns that once stood on where the toxic fog is now, a gigantic airborne city called Aerodona floats above. It is in this city in the skies that people have discovered the existance of, who were once thought of as only seen or heard in fairytales, creatures called 'Wyverns'. These Wyverns have dragon-like appearances, with sleek reptilian bodies, muscular legs with claws sharp enough to break through rock, long tails, long swan-like necks and sleek heads with needle-sharp teeth and crystaline eyes. The most impressive feature of the Wyverns though, is their wings. Aerodona, for a long time, was a peaceful metropolis, until one day, mysterious flying black creatures with blood red eyes, who have come to be called 'Shadowwings', started invading the floating city. A lot of Aerodona was severly damaged by the Shadowwings' attacks and it would've been completely destroyed, had it not been for the Wyverns who used their own powers to save the city and the mayor of Aerodona decided that with the Wyverns' help, they could fight back. He chose a group of people to train for battle against the Shadowwings. Of course those evil monsters could fly which could make battle difficult, but the Wyverns could fly too and so the warriors and Wyverns decided to team up and thus the first group of Flyers were founded and have been protecting Aerodona since. Now comes the question, where did the Shadowwings come from, and why did they attack Aerodona? This mystery, which most people in the city thought had been solved, has only just begun...
Other:I'll give you brownies and cupcakes if you join. :3

Interest Check
How many people would be interested in a RP based off White Wolf's Exalted?
Genre: Epic Fantasy with high powered characters
Basic Info: Exalts are mortals that have been chosen by the Incarnae (Very Powerful Deities) or one of the Elemental Dragons. Exalts are known by a title which varies depending on which Incarnae chose them. In the case of the Elemental Dragons Exalts - they are known as Dragonblooded.
Basic Plot: The Return of the Scarlet Empress (the most powerful Dragonblood Exalt) after a long (mostly) unexplained absence has caused an upheaval in the world of Creation that hasn't been seen since the ending of the First Age. Old enemies are taking advantage of this disturbance to finally get revenge on the world that hurt them. Will the end of the Second Age lead to the end of Creation? Or will the Chosen put aside their differances and stand together to bring in a new Third Age?

Washington, DC—The National Women's History Museum (NWHM) is pleased to announce the launch of its redesigned website at www.nwhm.org. The redesign coincides with the 13th Anniversary of the move of the Suffrage Statue from the Capitol Crypt into the Rotunda on Mother's Day, 1997. The statue of the three founders of the women's vote campaign—Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott—is the first of our foremothers to stand permanently next to our forefathers thereby changing the look of our nation's heroes.
NWHM's new face to the world heralds passage of its building site legislation out of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on April 21. It now heads to the Senate floor. HR 1700, which passed the House on a voice vote last October, and its Senate companion, S. 2129, will provide a permanent home for the Museum by allowing NWHM to purchase the vacant site at 12th Street and Independence SW at fair market value. The Museum expects the legislation to pass out of the Senate soon.
The website redesign brings a fresh, clean look as well as technical upgrades. The wealth of information available on the site can now be accessed using a search feature and a palette of colors are used to identify sections such as "Online Exhibits," "Building the Museum," and "Education & Resources."
The website redesign is part of the program design being developed by Ralph Appelbaum Associates (RAA), a world leader in museum interpretative programs. RAA is world renowned and designed the interior exhibits of the Holocaust Museum, NEWSEUM, U. S. Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, DC, as well as 140 other museums from Beijing to London.
RAA Project Director Melanie Ide stated, "This is not just the launch of NWHM's new website, but a new era for the Museum…one that will see the Museum's digital, physical and cultural presence take root and expand."
NWHM President & CEO Joan Wages stated, "NWHM is entering an exciting stage of its development and this makeover of NWHM's face-to-the-world reflects our coming of age and readiness to take our place at the National Mall."

Los Tiburones evened up the championship series again, at 2 games each, taking a big bite out of Los Tigres. Los Tigres managed only 6 hits with one walk. The only hit that made a difference was CF Jorge Cortes' 8th inning solo homer. Cortes, who is not a huge guy at all, has been very big in this championship series -- this is his 4th home run in the playoffs, and his 3rd in the past 3 games. 1B Hector Gimenez singled in the 4th inning for Los Tigres, but was erased in a double play.

Ethiopian cooking is marked by hot spices, thick stews and injera, a large, flat sourdough bread. Diners in Ethiopia use the injera as an eating utensil to scoop up food.
Alecha: Stew, either chicken or beef, but not hot and spicy stew.
Berbere: Thick, red paste composed of paprika, salt, ginger, onion, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, pepper, coriander, and fenugreek blended by water and oil.
Doro Wat: Chicken stew.
Fenugreek: Little brown seeds that are ground into tan powder for spice seasoning.
Injera: Thin, spongy pancake-like flatbread made from teff flour used to scoop up and wrap food in place of utensils.
Niter Kebbeh: Spicy butter made from sautéeing onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, clove, and nutmeg in butter.
Shiro Wat: Vegetable stew popular during religious fastings.
Sik Sik Wat: Beef stew.
Teff: Ancient grain of Ethiopia available in whole-grain form as well as ground (teff flour) in health food stores.
Wat: Essentially means stew—typically made from base of berbere paste so it is hot and dense with spices.

Freethought Today
Vol. 19 No. 9 - Published by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc. -
November 2002

Congressional Gutless Wonders
The last act of the U.S. Senate before adjourning its fall session was to pass by unanimous consent yet another resolution reaffirming that "under God" should remain in the Pledge of Allegiance, also reaffirming that "In God We Trust" is the national motto.
The U.S. House had overwhelmingly passed S. 2690 on Oct. 8 by a roll call vote of 401-5. All 212 Republicans voting supported the resolution. Five Democrats--Reps. Barney Frank, MA; Mike Honda, CA; Jim McDermott, WA, Bobby Scott, VA, and Pete Stark, CA--voted no, and 4 Democrats voted present. Twenty-one did not vote: 10 Republicans and 11 Democrats.
Rep. Stark spoke in opposition to the resolution, noting he had earlier opposed a resolution prohibiting the removal of the words "under God" from the pledge.
"Just as we should not bar anyone from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, we should not force anyone to recite words they do not believe. The Court was clear in affirming that the term 'under God' was more than a casual colloquialism. The meaning of these words is only proven by Congress' religiously inspired crusade to chastise and even undo the Ninth Circuit's opinion," said Stark.
"Congress ought to heed the Ninth Circuit Court and our constitutional responsibility to respect the diversity of religious and personal belief in America. We should not legislate use of the term 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance, when many proud Americans do not share this belief.
"We ought to instead reaffirm the notion of a 'nation indivisible,' and a pledge that fully recognizes the shared beliefs and common aspirations of all Americans. I urge my colleagues to embrace this idea, honor a basic principle of our Constitution, and vote no on this bill."
The resolution, several pages long, is a laundry list of alleged actions and quotes supposedly showing the religious nature of the United States and its formation. It concludes: "The erroneous rationale of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Newdow would lead to the absurd result that the Constitution's use of the express religious reference 'Year of our Lord' in Article VII violates the First Amendment of the Constitution, and that, therefore, a school district's policy and practice of teacher-led voluntary recitations of the Constitution itself would be unconstitutional."
The House added language providing that anyone reciting the pledge should remove nonreligious headgear with the right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, with the hand resting over the heart.
The lawsuit prompting several months of Congressional hysteria, Newdow v. U.S. Congress, has been complicated by a county judge's recent order to remove from the lawsuit the only student involved. On Sept. 25, Family Court Judge James Moze, Sacramento, Calif., ruled in a child custody decision in favor of the child's mother, Sandra Banning, against the father and litigant, Michael Newdow. Moze said removal of the child from the lawsuit would protect her from harm. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals--which ruled in Newdow's favor in June that the addition of "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional--will make a determination later this year on whether the case can be kept alive without the student plaintiff.
Newdow said the girl's identity was not made public until her mother attempted to intervene in the case. Banning, an avowed born-again Christian, had originally agreed to the lawsuit on her daughter's behalf.
Also on Oct. 16, the U.S. Senate, by unanimous consent, passed S. Res. 343, authorizing representation by the Senate Legal Counsel in Newdow v. Eagen, Newdow's challenge of congressional chaplaincies.

A Change of Fortune by Jen Turano (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Lady Eliza Sumner has had anything but the easy life she was raised to enjoy. After losing her father, her fortune, and subsequently her faith, Eliza has traveled to New York City to seek the man who stole her inheritance. Disguising herself as a governess, Eliza, unexpectedly joins her efforts with the handsome Hamilton Beckett when they discover they're both searching for intertwined answers. But as Eliza works to recover her fortune so she can return home to England, she realizes that God may have a different plan.
Fluffy Christian romance with a healthy dose of humour and hijinks that had me giggling my way through this very quick read. As Eliza is struggling with her faith, this one is a little lighter on the Christian content.
I loved everything about this book! The flow of the dialogue, the delightful personalities of the characters that felt like people I could easily know in "real life", the plot that captured my attention and kept it, the breathless romantic tension ... a new favorite author for me :)
I really wanted to like this book. The cover is great, and i actually enjoyed the silly and predictable novella prequel. But i didnt find much, if any of the plot believable. None of the characters fit the attitudes or prejudices of the time period with the exception of the detective. And for a secret that her whole life depends on, eliza does nothing to protect it. In fact, she practically goes shouting it from the rooftops. Murder, converting prostitutes, catfights, everybodys conveniently wealthy, female journalists, etc. This was just such a sad attempt at Christian historical fiction.
A Change of Fortune
Jen Turano
Book Summary: Lady Eliza Sumner is on a mission. After losing her family, her fiance, and her faith, the disappearance of her fortune is the last straw. Now, masquerading as Miss Eliza Sumner, governess-at-large, she's determined to find the man who ran off with her fortune, reclaim the money, and head straight back to London. Much to Mr. Hamilton Beckett's chagrin, all the eyes of New York society--all the female ones, at least--are on him. Unfortunately for all the matchmaking mothers and eligible daughters, he has no plans to marry again, especially with his hands full keeping his business afloat and raising his two children alone. When Eliza's hapless attempts to regain her fortune put her right in Hamilton's path, sparks instantly begin to fly. The discovery of a common nemesis causes them to join forces, but with all their plans falling by the wayside and their enemies getting the better of them, it will take a riot of complications for Hamilton and Eliza to realize that God just might have had a better plan in mind all along.
Review: This was a great book! I loved Hamilton and Eliza. There were many great secondary characters in this well paced story. From page 5 I was hooked. I read almost half in a couple of hours. The suspense was tempered right along with the witty dialogue. Agatha was fantastic! I can not wait to read her story. There was so much happening that it made for a fast and easy read where I did not want it to end. The children Piper and Ben were realistic and likable. I wonder why I have not devoured the rest of this series. I do believe that Ms. Turano is a very gifted writer who was able to keep my attention, have a number of characters that were dear and enjoyable without loosing the central focus of her story while being believable. I am so thrilled this is part of a series.
I would like to thank LibraryThing and Bethany House for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I received a copy of this book as part of LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
This charming, Victorian comedy of manners is set in 1880 New York City and features a frisky heroine, Lady Eliza Sumner, intent on recovering her fortune. Along the way, her pursuit is hampered by an adventurous sidekick, a precocious five-year-old, and the determined mothers of society set on bagging the catch of the season, Mr. Hamilton Beckett. Mr. Beckett unexpectedly becomes Lady Eliza's closest ally when they discover they have a common enemy.
This is a book you go into knowing nothing seriously bad is going to happen to your hero. Sure, there will be the embarrassing slapstick moments that offer a chuckle, the awkward verbal moments, but overall you know exactly where this story is going from about page 15 (I double-checked!). So why pick this up? Because it's fun in a 'wholesome, flirty, girls in over their head have to get rescued' kind of way. In that sense, Turano achieves what she promises, a 'rollicking historical romance'. You will be amused by the disguises, law-breaking, prodding and orchestrating to bring Lady Eliza together with her own hero.
Turano leaves plenty of room for future romances to bloom in the sequel. The book also features discussion questions which could be great if you are part of a book club. This breezy 200-page novel is light-hearted enough to be a fun beach read and thin enough to pack in your beach bag.

Lady Eliza Sumner is on a mission. Her fortune was the last thing she had left after losing her father, her fiance, and her faith. Now, masquerading as Miss Eliza Sumner governess-at-large, she's determined to find the man who ran off with her fortune, reclaim the money, and head straight back to London.
Mr. Hamilton Beckett, much to his chagrin, is the catch of the season, and all the eyes of New York society--all the female ones, at least--are on him. He has no plans to marry again, especially since his hands are full keeping his business afloat while raising his two children alone.
Eliza's hapless attempts to regain her fortune unexpectedly put her right in Hamilton's path. The discovery of a common nemesis causes them to join forces and, before she knows it, Eliza has a whole retinue of people helping her. Eliza's determination not to trust anyone weakens when everyone's antics and bumbling efforts to assist her make her wonder if there might be more important things than her fortune and independence.
When all of Hamilton's and Eliza's best-laid plans fall by the wayside, it will take a riot of complications for them to realize that God just might have had a better plan in mind all along.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:25:47 -0400)
When one humorous mishap after another fails to help her reclaim her lost fortune, Lady Eliza Sumner finds that God has something even better in mind for her than her fortune and independence.

I doubt that this is a satisfactory answer to your questions. But I will tell you of my methods and experience.
I wear under a sport coat. My holster is tuckable. But I usually don't tuck when wearing the coat. I either tuck the shirt behind the gun making it a regular IWB carry - or I leave an untucked "tag" over the gun that can be lifted fairly easily. If I am likely to remain jacketed I will tuck it in all the way.
If I take my jacket off I have an option. I can simply leave an unbloused tag (looks a little sloppy) OR I can cover the gun with the tag as per the fully "tuckable" feature.
It's slower, of course, to draw from a full tuck than it is from a fully bloused or a "tag" carry. I don't fully tuck unless required by the rare instance of having to take off my jacket in a situation when the "sloppy" tag wont do.

Нужно сочинение по английскому языку, на тему "Бедность", около 250 слов, заранее спасибо.
- People were like wolves, who are ready to grab anyone 's throat for the sake of personal gain ! And it's scary ! The man had completely forgotten about tolerance , decency and basic norms of morality ! Not only that , people who are rich financially, often wretchedly poor spiritually.
And very often the case that a person little money , he could barely make ends - with - ends , but his kindness, sincerity , radiance , selflessness , intelligence and cheerfulness makes a fleeting thought that this man is the happiest and the richest man in the world. Looking at his smile , sometimes you do not notice that a man dressed in an old , worn-out clothes, but on the contrary - it elevates man to the ducal family.
And basically, the way it is ! Such a person does not need money to be rich, he needs a family and chat , that's all ! And you can think of any rich man : always dull , humorless , rude , greedy , and no matter how much he had no money , he does little.
The whole life of the rich focus on equity. And so are their lives - boring on the nerves , without basic pleasures of life without smiles and tears of a beloved child , no warm wind blows , no tender embraces his beloved wife and her gentle kiss in the morning .
And this is so important in our lives and this can not be missed! After all, we are given one life , and to live it so that about you remembered not only sharing your multi-million dollar inheritance , but also just as a good person , a wonderful family man and not just the poor and the rich soul and heart of man.

Where did you go to school, and was sport an important part of school life? Dame Alice Harpur School, and yes it was.
Did you excel at other sports when you were growing up? I was selected to play county and regional hockey. But I played every sport going.
Where did your early sporting influences come from? We lived around the corner from Bedford Rugby Club, so we watched their games, and football was in the family. Mum was incredibly sporty - she played football for England, including the 1971 Women's World Cup in Mexico. I can remember playing against my mum from the age of four onwards. My parents cut a racket down to size for me and used to throw shuttlecocks for me to hit. Mum was a good club player, and I was 13 before I managed to beat her.
You and your badminton partner Nathan Robertson were successful as juniors when you were at school. Why did you split and then come back together? Nathan and I have known each other since we were 14. We had success as juniors on the world stage, having won European gold and world bronze together at under-18 level. Nathan was the star; he was a unique talent, and was talked about rather like Roger Federer was in tennis.
How did it all change? Nathan went pro at 17 and trained full-time. I decided to go to university and get my education finished. I did a sports science degree at Kingston University - I didn't want to waste the opportunity. I enjoyed university life to the full and got a 2:1 honours degree. I can look back and say I could have trained harder, played more, peaked earlier, but things have turned out pretty well. Nathan and I have been together again for the last four years, having been re-united as a team not long after Sydney.
Greatest disappointment in your sport? My biggest disappointment has to be losing the Olympic final when being in a good position to win, but ironically my biggest triumph is winning an Olympic medal. I think that getting the silver was an important factor in driving us on to winning titles and becoming European, Commonwealth and world champions.
Who were your sporting heroes when you were growing up? Sally Gunnell in hurdles at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 had a big impression on me when I was 14. I think that decided it all for me: the Olympics was where I was headed. But also Kelly Holmes and Denise Lewis in recent years; my mum was a big hero for me, too.
What is your view on badminton making its debut at the UK School Games this year, and what do you think of the UK School Games? I was delighted to be asked to support the UK School Games and think it's great that badminton has been included this year. Experiencing a big multi-sport competition and the events that go with it, like opening and closing ceremonies, is a big opportunity for our young players and I hope that they learn from it and have fun.
- Gail Emms is an ambassador for the UK School Games. She and Nathan Robertson defend their world mixed doubles title in Malaysia, starting today.

2.27pm: Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, is set for round three at the dispatch box. The fact that the Liberal Democrat leader doesn't get this gig very often must make it more nervewracking when he does. The first time he held deputy prime minister's questions, on 21 July, he was forced to clarify his views after commenting to MPs as a senior government minister that the invasion of Iraq was illegal. The second time, on 8 September, was a last minute affair due to sad circumstances when David Cameron had to fly out to France after his father was taken ill on holiday and subsequently died. That day, the News of the World phone tapping scandal had been resurrected amid new sources coming forward alleging that Cameron's head of press, Andy Coulson, had known more than he had previously admitted to when he was editing the Sunday tabloid. It was left to Clegg to bat for Coulson.
Today, Clegg may be faced by questions about the spending review and the health of the economy.
It's now one week after George Osborne unveiled billions of pounds worth of cuts, with welfare taking the greatest hit (£18bn). Clegg has honoured his commitment to stand by the tough decisions taken.
He told the Guardian over the weekend that his conscience was clean and was telling him "this is the best possible thing we could have done". He said the coalition is working hard to introduce progressive measures over a four-year period that will see a greater proportion of national income spent on the state than when Labour came to power in 1997. He told the Guardian:
I think it is a very cavalier misrepresentation to claim somehow it is a scorched-earth policy. Something on this scale is bound quite rightly to create a lot of controversy. What I think is wholly wrong ... [is] to say that something that is balancing the books, but retaining the classic contours of a European welfare state which consumes 40% of national income, can be described as a neocon small state.
The latest Guardian/ICM poll shows the majority of voters are convinced that the consequences of spending cuts will be unfair, though they also show that the government retains the lead on economic competence. The party suffering most from the current mood is Clegg's Liberal Democrats. While the Tories have taken a three-point lead over Labour, the Lib Dems stay unchanged on on 16% on the most recent ICM poll but are two down on the last Guardian poll. And while both Labour and the Tories have retained the backing of 91% of people who voted for them in May, the Lib Dems have retained only 55%.
A separate poll in today's Times (paywall) shows voters believe the spending review will hurt the unemployed, members of the armed forces and commuters the hardest and leave banks comparatively unscathed. Again, the party suffering most are Clegg's party. The Populus poll shows Lib Dem voters represent the largest switch in those becoming more pessimistic about the cuts. In June, 67% of Lib Dem voters said the effects would be fair, compared to 44% who think the same way now.
Clegg should be on the front foot today, however, since his stint at the dispatch box ties in with the publication of better than expected third quarter growth figures and a crucial upgrade for the UK economy.
Gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.8% between July and September – less than the 1.2% surge in the previous three months, but double the growth predicted by most economists.
The data eases fears of a double-dip recession and will reinforce government hopes that the private sector will pick up the slack created in the economy by mammoth public spending cuts.
No doubt Clegg will see fit to mention this as the opposition warns of the dangers of cutting too deep or too fast. You can't expect Labour to be sympathetic to Clegg's arguments and his U-turns on major planks of Lib Dem policy, such as tuition fees, in his capacity as a senior government minister.
But Clegg will have some ammunition against any Labour jibes and criticism thrown his way today, courtesy of the Times (paywall), which reports on a leaked memo in which the party apparently admitted that its economic policy lacks substance and detail.
The strategy paper was written before the spending review was unveiled, but reportedly said that the cuts to public spending may not be much deeper than those proposed by former chancellor, Alistair Darling.
2.37pm: Gareth Johnson, the Tory MP for Dartford, opens questions by asking Clegg about equally sized constituencies – one of the plans Clegg is overseeing in his constitutional reform brief. Would he agree it's vital to have this change? Clegg agrees votes should weigh the same "wherever they are passed". Clegg says votes of equal value was a key demand of the Chartists (we're going back a bit here).
2.37pm: Andrew Bridgen (Con, North West Leicestershire) asks that boundary reviews be "coterminous" with council ward boundaries (ie be the same). Clegg says that's what is planned.
2.38pm: Chris Leslie, the shadow Treasury minister, asks about appointments being made to the Lords. He makes some quips about Lib Dems being parachuted into the Lords. Clegg says the government will be following the appointments process Labour put in place until a review of the second chamber takes place.
2.41pm: Chris Bryant, the shadow minister for political and constitutional reform, mentions the word "cleansing" in a question about housing benefit changes. Bryant was making the point that the benefit changes will see social housing tenants swept out of inner London because of the benefit cap and "turn London into Paris" by banishing the poor to the suburbs. Clegg is furious that Bryant has employed a phrase that conjures up suffering in war-torn countries and says the housing benefit cap reflects the fact that some working families can't afford London rent levels, but if you're on benefits you can.
2.43pm: Mark Harper, the junior Cabinet Office minister, refutes the suggestion from Sadiq Khan, the shadow justice secretary, that the coalition is trying to "pack" the Lords with its people.
2.45pm: Julian Lewis, the Tory MP for New Forest East, raises concerns that the planned reforms to the second chamber will mean the Lords ends up as a "carbon copy" of the Commons, and no longer contains people with the expertise to scrutinise policies properly. Harper again answers. He says there are no plans to mimic the Commons. Though there will be elections, the coalition wants the Lords to be a revising chamber not a carbon-copy of the make-up of the Commons.
2.49pm: The issue of reducing the age of voting at 16 has come up. One Labour MP suggests young people contribute £500m to the economy, while Tory MPs suggest that there is no case for giving them the vote. Philip Davies, the Tory MP for Shipley, points out Labour raised the smoking age to 18 and now proposes to allow the same group to vote two years earlier. Clegg wraps up the questions by quipping that it's interesting the way Labour MPs seem so exercised about the voting age, while resisting passing such a law when in government.
2.52pm: Harriet Harman, the deputy Labour leader, turns to the spending review. Will Clegg confirm the number of private sector jobs that will go? We already know that 490,000 public sector jobs are likely to be cut, she says. Clegg says the estimated losses in the public sector will still leave the sector with 200,000 more staff than were in place when Labour were in power. The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates 2 million more jobs will be created in the private sector over the same four-year period, he says. Harman comes back with concerns about households that will lose employment and be hit by the housing benefit cuts. She urges him to say whether the housing benefit decisions will be reviewed, but Clegg sticks firmly to his script.
2.55pm: John Cryer, the Labour MP for Leyton and Wanstead, revisits Harman's question about the housing benefit budget, which will see a 10% cut. Clegg retorts that something has gone seriously wrong with a housing benefit system that locks people into benefit dependency. The system did little to encourage building of affordable housing by companies. The benefit changes have been put in place to incentivise people back into work, he says.
2.57pm: Clegg is now talking about unions, following a question from a Conservative. He is keen to avoid confrontation with trade unions over the cuts, he says, and is looking to cooperation to minimise the impact to jobs. He gets in a quick swipe at Ed Miliband, who was elected by what he calls the "duplicate" vote of trade union members. (Some people voting in the Labour leadership election had more than one vote in different parts of the party's electoral college.)
2.57pm: Clegg is asked if he regrets promoting smoking on Sunday's Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 (he told the programme he wanted a "stash of cigarettes" as his luxury on the island). Clegg says smoking is a bad habit and he wouldn't promote it to anyone.
2.59pm: Daniel Poulter, the Tory MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, asks Clegg whether he agrees that a referendum on the voting system will restore trust and faith in the political process ie by allowing voters to have their say. Clegg of course agrees. It will restore some public trust because, whichever side of the fence you're on, the public will have its say, he says.
3.00pm: Back to housing benefits – this time the decision to raise social housing rent levels to 80% of the market rent. Clegg says there needs to be "some kind of limit" on rent. He maintains the argument that it will encourage builders to build more affordable homes.
3.02pm: Tuition fees next. Anas Sarwar, the Labour MP for Glasgow Central, asks Clegg to apologise for his U-turn on tuition fees. Clegg signed a pledge on this issue. Clegg concedes it is regrettable. He says the graduate tax was not "workable" or "fair", but he insists that the new system will be fairer than the old.
3.05pm: Clegg has finished. It seems the opposition has honed in on what is seen as the greatest sore in the spending review: the changes to housing benefit. Clegg was clearly furious at the suggestion that the policy will lead to the "cleansing" of social housing residents from London, but Chris Bryant expressed a concern shared by many critics.
3.15pm: The issue of the next batch of peers to go the Lords also turned up amid Labour jitters that David Cameron and Nick Clegg are aiming to change the balance of power in the Lords in favour of the coalition to ensure their policies get through.
The coalition agreement published in May stated that a committee would be appointed to bring forward proposals for a wholly or mainly elected House of Lords. The committee, consisting of frontbench spokespeople from the three main political parties, is to prepare a draft bill to be published by December 2010. But in the interim, the coalition deal stated that the government would continue to make appointments to the House of Lords so that it becomes reflective of the share of the vote secured by the political parties in the general election.
3.22pm: We can expect more questions about the spending cuts tomorrow when David Cameron faces the Commons at PMQs. Head back to guardian.co.uk/politics at 12 for full coverage. Thanks for your comments.

Ancelotti 'lucky' to avoid the sack
Carlo Ancelotti admits he is lucky to have kept his job as Chelsea manager after presiding over the worst run of form under the reign of owner Roman Abramovich.
The Blues have taken just 10 points from their last 10 Barclays Premier League matches and just two from their last five away games - a poor run which has seen them slide to fifth place.
They face Wolves at Molineux tomorrow night when a win is vital if they are not to lose touch with the Premier League pace-setters.
When the former AC Milan boss was asked if he would have been sacked by now if he was still in Italy, he replied: "I am a lucky man. I understand that a lot of coaches are sacked with results like these."
However, Ancelotti wants to be judged on his results at the end of the season.
He added in the Daily Mail: "When you go to a restaurant, you have to pay the bill when finish your meal.
"It's the same here. We have to pay the bill at the end of the season. At the end the club can judge me. The best food would be the Champions League. I've tasted it sometimes and it's good."
But if Ancelotti is not to pay too high a price come May, he needs his team to find some consistency, having been let down by conceding late goals in recent games.
"Against Everton we conceded in the 86th minute," he said. "We missed a penalty at Tottenham and conceded in the last minute against Aston Villa. We have lost six points in the last minute and with those six points we'd be top of table."
The January transfer window could provide a boost, but Ancelotti does not want to make any panic buys - and has ruled out a move for David Beckham.
"When the Champions League comes back, we need to have a squad without injuries," he said.
"If the club does buy, it will not be just for this year. We are looking for young players but ones with experience who don't need time to adapt.
"Beckham is a fantastic player and could be good for Tottenham, but we're not interested. In that position we have good players.
"The young players are in the squad because we trust them."

Stylist: Rochelle Binik
I found Rochelle after calling Toujours salon and discovering that Cally had already left to open her salon. I booked with Rochelle because I REALLY needed a cut for a special event and Cally's new place was not open yet. I LOVED what Rochelle did with my hair. Normally I would get a Curly Girl cut-but Rochelle suggested a different kind of cut for my hair that would give me more lift and volume(my mane issue). It is called the STAR haircut and it is amazing. It gave me incredible lift on-top and lovely cascading EVENLY layered curls all the way down. Rochelle has recently moved to NOEL ROSE in Lakeview. Again she gave me an amazing cut and I got my color done this time and I love it. She really knows all kinds of techniques. I have sent 4 people to her and they have all loved their cuts.

As a kid, my weekends started with hours of reading.
Every Saturday, following pit stops at a 7-Eleven and a comic book shop, my mother and I would spend half the morning enjoying a quiet breakfast. She'd peruse the newspaper or a magazine over coffee and a muffin. I'd rifle through the latest issues of popular comic book titles, from "The Amazing Spider-Man" to "The Uncanny X-Men."
It's a tradition I'm trying to pass down to my sons, ages 9 and 5. They have a passionate interest in superheroes yet don't quite comprehend the cornucopia of comic creativity that's currently at their fingertips.
Admittedly, my inner geek is perturbed that my sons recognize Spider-Man, Captain America, Batman and Thor from superhero movies, and not from the comic books on which these blockbusters are based. Perhaps my kids are oddities, but they recognize Robert Downey Jr. and Christian Bale instead of Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne.
We rectified this pop-culture blasphemy with a series of trips to our local comic book shop, where I fanned the flames of their superhero fascination while also opening them up to an expanded world of reading opportunities.
"It's the next logical step," says John Romita Jr., an iconic artist whose comic-book credits over the years range from "The Avengers" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" to "Daredevil" and "Wolverine."
"When you enjoy a movie based on a classic novel, you'll often go back and read that novel. The same often happens for comic books."
For two boys raised on Marvel's recent crop of blockbuster superhero movies, the comic shop threatens sensory overload. Public libraries usually corral kid-friendly materials into an unusually small space, while the majority of the shelves in a comic-book store burst with attractive titles for children of all ages. You've heard of the proverbial kid in a candy shop? Turn that same kid loose in a comic store and watch the fireworks.
Instead of having to wait years for the next installment of a popular film franchise, my sons realized they could peruse hundreds of fresh Thor, Spider-Man and X-Men stories found in the pages of Marvel titles.
Everywhere they looked, they saw new adventures starring heroes they'd grown to love. Our oldest son thumbed through graphic novels that collected classic story arcs into one book. Our youngest was entranced by the explosively colorful comic covers that greeted him in the "Young Readers" section of the store. The hardest part was regulating the number of books we could buy. Parents quickly will learn that comic collecting — while a fantastic stimulant to a child's imagination and desire to read — can be an expensive habit to maintain.
Not every day, though.
Free Comic Book Day is an annual celebration of all things comics. This year's event is scheduled for Saturday and coincides with the release of "Iron Man 3," the first comic-book movie of the summer season. Participating stores around the District, Maryland and Virginia are expected to hand out copies of "Superman," "SpongeBob SquarePants," "Archie," "Adventure Time," "Disney Fairies," "Judge Dredd" and more.
My sons attended their first Free Comic Book Day two years ago. Though they had to endure long lines formed by excited crowds, they left with free copies of "Avengers," "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" books that they still read to this day. They also got to pose next to a replica of the Ghostbusters' official automobile, the Ecto-1. Needless to say, Free Comic Book Day now an annual family tradition.
Greg Bennett, co-owner of the local Big Planet Comics chain, says the impact of an event like Free Comic Book Day is huge. He expects to see big crowds outside of his stores in Bethesda, Georgetown, College Park and Vienna on Saturday as interest in comic books from readers of all ages continues to grow.
"Last year, when I opened the door to the shop, there was more than 100 people in a line that was going down the block," he said. "It was pretty nuts."
Exposure to comics has made a world of difference, at least for my sons. Issues of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are now permanent fixtures on their nightstands. Our youngest asks to read before breakfast in the morning. And they're finally seeing comic book movies in a different light.
Last summer, we took the boys to see Marc Webb's 3D film "The Amazing Spider-Man." It was the first Spider-Man movie they were going to see in theaters, and we spent the majority of the drive going over scenes we were excited to see on the big screen.
"Just know, Brendan, that Peter's Uncle Ben is going to die in the story," our oldest, P.J., warned his little brother. "That's what happens in the comic books."
On that day, my parental spider-sense tingled with pride.

Pretty and versatile
Reviewed: 13 February 2015 by lustyjoy, a Straight Married Female
This is really presented well in pretty drawstring bag. I have this set in blue/black and white/black.
The bra has removable straps, which is great for the summer and vest tops. I'm a huge huge fan of quarter cup bras as I like to wear them under T-shirts, so they accentuate the size and uplift if your breasts, but showing your nipple through the T-shirt.
The bra is well made and I've never had any issues with quality. However, the cup is only lace and not structured like many 1/4 cups for enhanced uplift, which is a shame as they could do you even more justice. But great all the same.
The thong is great and comfy, again its all I own, so no complaints and extremely pretty. The thongs do not have a gusset just the silky material and lace, which my OH loves as he likes to see how wet I'm getting during the course of the day before I'm allowed to be pleasured.
The suspenders are the same quality as above and no issues with clips breaking, etc. Overall, a reasonable winner - that's why I have 2 sets.
- Pros
- Pretty and reasonably priced.
- Cons
- A little support on lace 1/4 cup to accentuate uplift would have been even better.
- Bottom line
- Purchased second set. So great.

Beauty Night, Beauty Blue
Reviewed: 15 August 2014 by ScarletRose, a Straight Single Female
I was lucky enough to receive this lovely set in blue to test (thank you, LH), and as soon as it arrived I got to it.
As always, it arrived fast and discreet from LH, which I've come to expect, and wasn't disappointed. As so often happens, the box arrived a bit bent, which is fine, as I didn't plan on keeping that as it arrives in a beautiful organza bag which is sheer and black with satin ribbon drawstrings, which adds to the luxury effect.
Now, there's something I should tell you. I received the L/XL size which is advertised to fit size 12-14. I am a pear shape, and although I am a size 14 all over, my bottom tends to be a bit larger, so I was wary that the set might not fit right, and that would be my own bottom's fault.
The bra was very comfortable. I can easily wear it on the tightest clasp (there are 3) and would say the elasticity of the bra strap makes it very appropriating. My breasts are around a 36D, and I found the bra a delight to wear. The quarter cups are a bit weird on my boobs because they (breasts) point outwards and are pretty wide set, but I still enjoyed the raciness of the quarter cup, and let's face it, those cups are just there for show.
You couldn't wear this bra out and about, the light support wouldn't be support enough. My breasts kept falling out of the cups too, so frequent re-adjustment may be necessary. Also the lace on the quarter cups has already began to unravel after a couple of wears, and that wasn't even during vigorous use.
I don't really like thongs, I don't find them all that becoming on my massive bum, and these ones were kind of the same. They have elastic straps on the side, which didn't flatter my figure, and dug in a little on my hips, which made be look bumpier, which is one thing I really don't appreciate! Also the lace at the top of the thong is unravelling too, which is a bit disappointing.
Suspender Belt:
The suspender belt has an easily adjustable back strap, which makes it perfect for me due to my curvy figure. I prefer to wear belts higher up than the model is wearing it, and that was accomplished well. The stretchy material that the entire set is made of means that the suspender belt does have a tendency to slip around. I'm not sure you could really wear it out and about, but again I doubt this set was intended for that! It looks really sexy though, and is comfortable too. The straps are fully adjustable and are well made, and grip stockings well.
Overall, the set is so sexy and gorgeous, and has a real sex appeal in the beautiful blue colour, but the nature of the lace means that this set may not last you a long time, and is totally for show rather than for everyday wear. I think it's decent value at the price. However, don't expect this product to last you a lifetime!
- Pros
- Sexy, gorgeous colour, nice fit.
- Cons
- Thong style, flimsy lace.
- Bottom line
- Sexy but temporary!

A survival server based on The Walking Dead. Following is a partial guide to Walking Dead game play. Server has a nice staff keeping an eye on the server even when you don't know it. A decent sized player base that is (mostly) helpful to players. It's up 24/7, professionally hosted and has enough resources to not give server lag. Give it a try, you can always leave if you don't like it.
Navigation: Your compass can be used as a gps device. It does not teleport you there, it guides you to locations after you taught it the location. Read about how to use it at spawn, using it is key to success.
Zombies: Walkers just want to eat, as such their behavour reflects that. They will try to eat you, unless of course, there is an easier target. A corpse or fish are easier targets.
Corpse: If someone dies they leave a corpse, which the Zombies will be attracted to, since a dead body is easier to catch and eat than a running person.
Fish: If you have any fish "Zombie Bait" you can throw them (not drop them, throw them) and the zombies will be distracted giving you a chance to escape.
Disguise: Wear a Zombie disguise and act like a zombie: zombies are stupid, they will think you are a zombie. The disguise? a zombie head, but you must also carry rotten flesh in your hand to smell like one. How to act like a zombie? It's really common sense, don't run, don't open chests, don't mine, don't interact with the world at all. Just walk or sneak, both work just fine. Another key item to remember, you must smell like a zombie, water will get rid of that scent. No rain, no snow, no swimming.
Head Shots: Arrows and guns, aim for the head on zombies. MUCH more damage to zombies that way, slightly less head shot damage to players.
Supplies: You need supplies and there is a zombie problem, looting has been rampant, supplies are in short supply. There are places that clans have taken over and they will be more than happy to trade with you. In cities and other key locations are trading stations, trade with them to get what you need. The clans have better trades that the larger settlements. And all locations have places to loot, if you time it right. Currency? rotten flesh of course.
Guns, etc: There are guns, there are grenades, there is napalm. Read the gun description to find the ammo and power. Find the trading place to get the weapons and ammo. Again, head shots!
There is more, much of the game play has been based on Walking Dead, it is not the client modification that changes how Minecraft works, this is a server that keeps a lot of Minecraft intact but adds a layer.

Re: Slow Locator in Manipulate
I have reported similar problems in several occasions, with the Locator
construct, even outside Manipulate but mostly inside Dynamic constructs. I
guess, and now I insist, on that these problems would be connected to some
underlying design issues in the construct.
Other explanation could be that the documentation for Locator lacks
information about non-explained restrictions on the way it should be used to
avoid unexpected conflicts or behaviors. An especial and evident case occur
when dealing with Bezier curves, where if you drag a locator (a point in the
control polygon) all other locators conforming the control polygon move as
if they were being dragged too.
To summarize my experience with Locator: as soon as one goes beyond a toy (I
mean, beyond something rather simple), Locator becomes almost useless and 2D
sliders must be used instead.

Asunto: Slow Locator in Manipulate
The following is a simple example of the use of a Locator on a graphic:
p1 = ContourPlot[
Sin[x y], {x, -3 \[Pi], 3 \[Pi]}, {y, -3 \[Pi], 3 \[Pi]},
ContourShading -> False];
Show[p1, Graphics[{Red, AbsolutePointSize[5], Dynamic@Point[pt1]}],
PlotRange -> {{-3 \[Pi], 3 \[Pi]}, {-3 \[Pi], 3 \[Pi]}}],
{{pt1, {0, 0}}, {-3 \[Pi], -3 \[Pi]}, {3 \[Pi], 3 \[Pi]}, Locator}
I find that the Locator moves slowly and in a jerky fashion; however, if I
leave the underlying plot, i.e. p1, out of the Show, then it moves as I
would expect. I had thought the use of Dynamic on the Point would keep
Mathematica from constantly redrawing the graphic, but my guess is that the
slowness indicates this is not the case.
Anyone have an idea about how to make the locator move faster?

Barre Police Chief Warns Of Bath Salts, Synthetic Drugs
08/08/12 12:41PM By Steve Zind, Ric Cengeri
| Download MP3
You may have been hearing about the dangers of things like bath salts, potpourri, plant food synthetic marijuana, and lady bug attractant and wondered why these items would be so lethal. These are actually the names of synthetic drugs that, until recently, were being sold legally in smoke shops or head shops in Vermont. They've also been blamed for at least two deaths in the state and many more around the country.
Barre City Police Chief Tim Bombardier discusses the dangers of some of these synthetic drugs with the deceptive names.
